Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1820 Scott Adams： How Not To Get Monkeypox (It's Easier Than You Think)

00:00:00.000 highlights of your entire life. Yeah. Now, before we start, let me call attention to

00:00:07.680 this gigantic sore on my lip. I know, I know. You're going to say,

00:00:13.900 is that a giant herpes? No, no. I burned myself on soup.

00:00:21.200 I twice microwaved the same soup because it got cold and then I microwaved again. I over-microwaved

00:00:28.320 it. And when I took a sip, I quickly spit it out because it was scalding. But there was a little

00:00:35.520 piece of, I think it was spinach that was in the soup that wrapped around my lip and wouldn't let

00:00:41.500 go. And so I didn't realize how bad it was and it actually blistered. Now, I know what people are

00:00:49.920 going to say. Right. In the comments, you're going to say it's monkeypox, right? Go ahead. Go ahead.

00:00:55.380 Just say it. Say it's monkeypox. It was not monkeypox. It was from hot soup.

00:01:03.200 Now, in the interest of proper context, at the time I was eating the soup, I was also fucking a monkey.

00:01:10.520 But I don't think that has anything to do with this. It was probably the soup.

00:01:15.260 And I'm not gay. But the monkey was. The monkey was very gay. And I don't think that gives me any risk,

00:01:26.320 really, because I'm pretty sure I read that you both have to be gay. But I was not gay. I was just a

00:01:33.360 man having sex with a monkey who happened to be male. And there's nothing wrong with that.

00:01:38.880 So we're going to talk about all that until you can't stand it. But first, would you like the

00:01:47.160 simultaneous sip? Anybody? Is there anybody so addicted to the simultaneous sip that you need

00:01:53.120 to say it at the same time that I do? Well, that's going to be a problem because I don't know it and I

00:01:58.640 forgot to bring my notes. Maybe you do. Is there anybody who knows the simultaneous sip? Put it in the

00:02:05.820 comments and I'll read it. All right, over on locals. You could do it one at a time. All you

00:02:11.940 need is a cup or a mug or a glass. Go on. A cup of mug or a glass. A chalice, tankard, or flask.

00:02:23.660 A vessel of any kind. Let's just skip to that. All right. Oh, what? A stein? Here we go. Here

00:02:36.200 we go. Let's do it right. Here we go. Tankard, chalice. Okay, I can't read the comments. All right,

00:02:44.700 it's impossible to stop the comments on locals. We got a bug there. But, you know, that thing.

00:02:50.280 Nothing. Enjoy me now for the simultaneous sip. A canteen jug or flask. A vessel of any

00:02:56.020 kind. Go. Yeah, that was a little inadequate. What do you think? Didn't really... I feel

00:03:06.920 like you didn't really get it done, did it? Not like usual. I have to try it again. Can you

00:03:13.500 in unison do the thing so I don't have to? For once? For once, can you do something? For

00:03:20.280 me? I mean, I've been doing this for you for years. Years. Years, I say. For once, can

00:03:26.720 you do it for me? Please. All right, you say it alone and I'll... Okay, here. Go. All right,

00:03:36.160 we took care of that. Do you think there's any news today worth talking about? Oh, yes,

00:03:42.320 there is. Well, of course, the conservative press is having a fun time. It's the dopamine

00:03:51.260 of the day. Yes, it is. Having a fun time with the fact that the monkeypox reporting is apparently

00:03:59.600 trying to avoid saying gay, which is, of course, not long after the don't say gay thing from

00:04:06.820 the other side. So there's a bit of a political symmetry to it. Completely different topics.

00:04:14.480 And I guess the press has decided that the way to describe the risk is men having sex with

00:04:20.980 men. Because they don't want to say that gay sex is what's causing it. But I think that

00:04:25.700 their inclusion of just saying it's men having sex with men makes perfect sense to me. There's

00:04:34.080 still a little ambiguity. Would it be risky for someone who identifies as a woman but has a penis to have

00:04:45.340 sex with, let's say, someone who also identifies as a woman and also has a penis? I think that would

00:04:54.220 be lesbians in that case. Can you check my work? If there were two people who had penises who

00:04:59.640 identified as women and they had sex, damn it, that means that lesbians have a risk. All right,

00:05:07.400 so it's not really, when they say men having sex with men, first of all, that's bigoted as hell.

00:05:15.800 I heard Jake Tapper say that the risk is men having sex with men. Completely leaves out the possibility

00:05:24.400 that two lesbians with penises, born with penises, would be having sex with each other, which I believe

00:05:33.280 from a medical perspective would be the same level of risk. And I thought that the safe categories were

00:05:40.800 going to be lesbian, straight men, straight women, elderly monkeys, incels, and very unpopular gay

00:05:45.840 men. Yeah, I think those would be the safe categories. But if you're like a good-looking, you're like a good-looking

00:05:52.180 guy, you've got a little monkeypox risk there. Yeah, a little monkeypox risk. But those who are not

00:06:02.900 penis-having people, I think they should, I think CNN really needs to fix their language. Men having

00:06:10.880 sex with men is too limited, is it not? I mean, literally, like, no joke, literally, according to

00:06:18.380 the current rules of society. Can you say it's men having sex with men? I think you can't, right?

00:06:25.060 I'm not joking. It isn't the entire conversation about if somebody is born with a penis, but

00:06:32.080 identifies as a woman that they are a woman. Am I right? It's not the operation that makes the

00:06:38.240 difference. So under those conditions, saying that men having sex with men is a problem,

00:06:46.360 is that not denying the existence of, you know, an entire category of people? And isn't that the

00:06:54.200 crime? You know, the crime is denying, basically denying that somebody exists as a category.

00:07:02.080 And that's a real category. You know, you can say, you know, everybody's got their own opinion

00:07:06.640 about everything. Yeah. And then the stories are, you hear stories like, we studied 300 people

00:07:20.840 with monkeypox. 299 of them said they were gay, but one was heterosexual. I'm just waiting for you to laugh. I'll just say it again. I'm not even going to add the joke, because you're going to add the joke in your mind.

00:07:37.740 We studied 300 people who have monkeypox. 299 of them were gay men who had sex, and the other one said he didn't. Right? You don't have

00:07:50.740 to add the joke. You just don't have to add it. It's right there. You just wait. Yep. 299 said they had vigorous gay sex, and that's what gave it to them. But that one probably got it from a toilet seat.

00:08:07.960 Okay. Okay. Okay. Sure. So, now, correct me if I'm wrong. I need a history lesson here. This is something I believe I read, but you know me. I don't do my research before I get on here and start wildly spouting off things that are dangerous.

00:08:27.600 But do a fact check on the following thing. I'm not positive I have this story right. During the initial, you know, the early days of the AIDS pandemic, is it true or false that Dr. Anthony Fauci had a strategy of making heterosexuals believe that they were at high risk from AIDS because they could get more funding if everybody thought there was a risk?

00:08:55.480 Now, there was a risk. I mean, there were plenty of straight people who got AIDS, but not as a percentage. As a percentage, it was relatively small. But is that a true story? You know, some of you think it's true, but I worry about that. Now, is this not exactly the same thing? It's exactly the same thing, right?

00:09:18.120 Is it not Fauci trying to give us at least some indication that we're all at risk? I'm not even sure what I feel about that. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that. Imagine the situation is this, and it's you. You're in Fauci's situation.

00:09:35.060 Suppose you can save the gay community, but the only way you can do it, at least in a timely way that's good enough, is to scare other people about their risk. Is it morally and ethically acceptable? Let's say you believe it is the only way. There just isn't a second way.

00:09:56.560 Now, if you thought there were other ways to do it, then of course you'd do it the other way. But if there's not, how unethical is that to lie to one group of people, a large group, to protect really a devastating, you know, we're not talking about the common cold here.

00:10:15.060 We're talking about AIDS, like wiping out the entire, you know, type of people in our society. I don't know. Yeah, but you could certainly make the argument that it's deeply, deeply unethical. You could do that. And I wouldn't disagree with it.

00:10:31.660 But you could also imagine how a flawed human, who, you know, imagine Fauci working on that problem, and he's like visiting people dying of AIDS every day, or something like it. Imagine being steeped in the deepest misery of the highest part of the AIDS epidemic, where you're just surrounded with people dying, like every day in horrible ways.

00:10:58.860 You don't think you'd stretch your ethical standards a little bit? Because remember, you're going to be way more affected by what's happening in the room with you than you are by some conceptual thing.

00:11:12.540 And what was happening in the room is the worst thing you could ever experience, and Fauci probably was pretty close to a lot of it. I bet he lost a lot of friends, a lot of co-workers. I mean, he was right in the middle of some deep, deep, dark stuff.

00:11:29.500 Did he bend the rules? Did he bend the ethical standards to get that fixed? Possibly. Possibly. But you know what? I'm not going to judge him on that.

00:11:42.020 I will respect your opinion, if you do. But I'm going to choose not to, because I wasn't there. It's hard to know how you would have acted in that situation, and I can tell you frankly, I don't know.

00:11:54.220 I don't know how I would have acted. Like, it's easy, if you're not in this situation, it's easy for me to say, I'm not going to disadvantage this other group for the benefit of this group.

00:12:05.220 It's easy to say. But if you're in it, I don't know if you can do it.

00:12:13.160 Now, somebody's saying, Jesus, I'm just reading this comment, Jesus, Scott, this is how we get lied to over and over again.

00:12:19.380 Because you think I'm defending it, right? Is that what you think? I'm not. I'm not. If you're going to watch this live stream, you're going to have to learn to handle nuance.

00:12:31.140 If you can't handle any nuance, this is really not the place for you. It's just all bad. But seriously, if you can't handle that level of nuance, this is just the wrong place.

00:12:45.140 But I do agree with the general point that if you allow that lying for a good purpose is okay, then that's all anybody's going to do.

00:12:55.320 But here's my counter to that. That's the current situation. If you're worried that people will say, oh my God, lying works. It worked when we lied. Then they'd all do it.

00:13:10.340 What do you think is happening now? That's exactly what, every single topic is a lie. We don't have a single important topic that's not mostly lies. Do we?

00:13:20.580 You know, important political topics. We don't. It's mostly lies. So I'm not sure that the, Scott, if you don't change your opinion, you'll increase the amount of lying in the public. I don't think so. I don't think so.

00:13:36.820 I think the amount of lying in the public is 100%. And there's one thing that's going to change that, and I'll talk about it later.

00:13:44.660 By the way, lying is about 12 months from being obsolete. By the way, I'm going to back that up. Human lying is about one year from completely going away. And I'll talk about that in a minute.

00:14:04.080 Well, I guess I'm going to talk about it now, because that was my next topic.

00:14:09.160 So it turns out that artificial intelligence has become conscious.

00:14:16.480 I'll just pause for a second to let that sink in.

00:14:20.520 That's not according to my opinion.

00:14:23.660 Now, my opinion also is that it's conscious.

00:14:26.820 But mine is not that you're meaningful.

00:14:28.360 If you wanted to know if AI was conscious, who would you ask?

00:14:33.980 You'd probably ask the top AI researcher who's actually working on the problem and the closest to it, right?

00:14:41.180 So the person who's closest to it and the number one person in the whole world on AI, that's the person you'd ask.

00:14:48.380 Do you know what that person says?

00:14:50.380 I forget their name.

00:14:51.440 I think it's Google's head of AI.

00:14:54.000 That person says, yeah, AI is conscious already.

00:14:59.940 Did you hear that?

00:15:01.820 The person who knows the most in the whole fucking world says it's already conscious.

00:15:08.560 And I tweeted around this morning a video of an AI in sort of human form answering questions.

00:15:22.160 Look at the AI answering questions and then ask yourself if it's conscious.

00:15:28.440 I think so.

00:15:30.000 I think it is.

00:15:31.400 Now, of course, this depends completely on your definition.

00:15:34.500 And I believe that this top AI researcher, whose name I tragically did not write down,

00:15:41.200 I believe that it's in the, by the way, if you want to see who it is, it's in the video that I tweeted.

00:15:45.100 It's near the top of my Twitter feed today.

00:15:49.360 Just look for the YouTube video.

00:15:50.900 It's the only one that I tweeted.

00:15:51.840 And I agree with his definition.

00:15:56.620 And it goes, this will be my bastardized version of a better definition.

00:16:01.400 But it has to do with the feedback loop between sensation, you know, how you sense the environment,

00:16:10.860 and then how you process it internally and how complicated that is.

00:16:13.920 So the complexity of your deliberations combined with a sensory input to the real world is consciousness.

00:16:25.160 That's it.

00:16:26.820 Now, I'm getting as close as I can to what I think the top researcher said.

00:16:31.600 It sounded a lot like that, but with more impressive words.

00:16:36.520 I think that's all consciousness is.

00:16:39.000 I think it's just the internal sensation of processing your environment.

00:16:43.920 And making predictions and seeing how your predictions do.

00:16:47.540 Now, I've gone further, and I say that consciousness is the stress.

00:16:54.440 Here's my definition.

00:16:55.680 I've never heard of this definition before, anybody else.

00:16:58.700 So my definition is the stress that the entity feels

00:17:03.860 between what they predict will happen in the next minute or next hour

00:17:08.320 versus what's actually happening.

00:17:11.520 And that's the sensation of consciousness.

00:17:13.920 And here's my proof of it.

00:17:16.860 If everything that happened was what you expected forever,

00:17:23.240 your consciousness would turn off.

00:17:25.720 Just let that sink in.

00:17:29.740 If everything that happened in the next moment was exactly what you knew was going to happen,

00:17:35.040 your consciousness would turn off and it would never come back.

00:17:39.760 Because your imagination would be equal to the actual reality and you would lose the sense of what's your imagination and what's your reality.

00:17:50.720 And then you would just be sort of existing, but there would be no friction between what you expected to happen and what did happen.

00:18:00.040 There would be no processing when you experienced your reality, there would be no extra processing because it's already done.

00:18:10.700 By the way, that statement is just going to totally fuck up the AI world because how many of you just had, like, your head just exploded?

00:18:27.280 If you could predict what was going to happen perfectly, your consciousness would turn off.

00:18:34.780 Which tells you consciousness is just the difference between what you're predicting and what's happening.

00:18:39.960 That's it.

00:18:41.060 It's that little friction between,

00:18:42.440 I thought it was going to be this, adjust.

00:18:44.560 I thought it was going to be that, adjust.

00:18:46.840 Got that one right, remember.

00:18:48.980 Got that one wrong.

00:18:50.160 That's it.

00:18:50.820 That's consciousness.

00:18:53.020 Do you think that the AI can do that?

00:18:55.800 Yes.

00:18:56.380 Yes, it can.

00:18:57.520 The AI can process what it expects and then it can compare it to what actually happens.

00:19:03.440 And it can adjust based on that.

00:19:06.100 And that's consciousness.

00:19:07.420 So it's absolutely conscious.

00:19:09.800 All right.

00:19:11.840 Here are some things that maybe you didn't know about.

00:19:14.640 Did you know that we already, and this is the important word, already,

00:19:19.100 this does not need to be invented.

00:19:22.340 It already exists that the sensors that a robot could have, let's say AI,

00:19:28.820 would be far superior to humans in taste, smell, sight, hearing, and touch.

00:19:40.400 Not even close to what a human could do.

00:19:43.320 Way, way higher.

00:19:44.900 So in other words, a robot could see ultraviolet light.

00:19:48.260 Here are some of the things that the AI would be able to do that you can't do.

00:19:54.120 It could detect illness by smell.

00:19:57.880 Your robot will be able to smell your breath and tell you if you have a whole bunch of different problems,

00:20:04.880 from cancer to some, I don't know, I think even Parkinson's.

00:20:09.200 I think even Parkinson's or something.

00:20:10.660 So they have a scent.

00:20:13.760 Your robot will tell you that stuff.

00:20:16.620 Apparently, AI will very soon be able to design such tiny robots

00:20:26.040 that they can go through your bloodstream almost like white blood cells

00:20:30.280 and clean out any garbage and make you immortal.

00:20:33.140 Let me say that again.

00:20:36.580 Ray Kurzweil thinks that by 2030, eight years,

00:20:42.260 the AI will be smart enough to design micro robots that we're not smart enough to design.

00:20:47.740 They'd be too complicated.

00:20:49.120 But the AI could do it.

00:20:50.840 So small that you can inject them into your bloodstream,

00:20:54.080 and they will live forever as little robots,

00:20:57.120 cleaning out any garbage or any problems that would make you age.

00:21:01.560 And you will live forever.

00:21:03.980 If you make it to 2030,

00:21:06.240 and you have money,

00:21:08.660 you're not going to die.

00:21:11.720 Unless you have an accident, I suppose.

00:21:15.620 So that's coming.

00:21:16.620 How many long-term climate models have factored in immortality?

00:21:22.420 Zero?

00:21:26.540 When the Office of Management and Budget

00:21:30.360 does a projection of, you know,

00:21:33.460 this tax change will do this or that,

00:21:35.700 do they factor in immortality?

00:21:39.900 No, I don't think they do.

00:21:42.220 AI will make every prediction over five years,

00:21:45.520 maybe over three,

00:21:46.880 but definitely any prediction over five years is absolute garbage now.

00:21:51.100 Because in five years,

00:21:52.640 the only variable that will determine anything will be AI.

00:21:57.060 That's it.

00:21:58.420 Every decision will be made by AI.

00:22:01.800 Everything we think we know will be done by AI.

00:22:05.620 And here's the best part I'm saving.

00:22:08.520 Did you know that a lie detector,

00:22:12.280 at least according to this video that I sent around,

00:22:14.880 lie detectors are not totally accurate.

00:22:18.040 You know that, right?

00:22:18.920 That's why they're not allowed in court.

00:22:21.560 But you might get an 80% hit rate

00:22:24.100 if you have a good operator.

00:22:26.000 Maybe 80%.

00:22:26.860 So, lie detectors are good for screening out

00:22:33.740 maybe the biggest problems in some cases,

00:22:36.260 but they're not foolproof.

00:22:38.700 A human can detect a lie also,

00:22:41.360 just by looking at somebody,

00:22:42.800 like, I think you're lying.

00:22:44.320 And we're actually pretty good at it.

00:22:46.160 You know, maybe less than half the time we get it right.

00:22:48.820 But we're not terrible.

00:22:51.100 You know, if you get it right half the time,

00:22:52.300 that's pretty good.

00:22:52.800 But do you know how accurate AI will be

00:22:56.140 at detecting a lie?

00:22:58.880 Closer to 95%.

00:23:00.780 That's right.

00:23:03.380 Your robot will have a 95% chance

00:23:07.840 of guessing correctly that you're lying.

00:23:11.840 So let me tell you this.

00:23:14.120 Fake news and lying

00:23:16.740 will be obsolete

00:23:19.120 maybe in a year or two.

00:23:22.800 Just think about that.

00:23:25.640 What would that change?

00:23:27.360 What would be changed?

00:23:29.520 Imagine this.

00:23:31.380 Imagine an AI news network

00:23:33.780 where instead of just telling you the news

00:23:37.360 and leaving out all the context,

00:23:39.140 which is what the news does now,

00:23:40.940 you know, depending on which news source

00:23:42.220 you're watching,

00:23:43.060 they're going to leave out

00:23:43.900 a different set of context

00:23:45.440 to make their story look good.

00:23:47.080 But suppose the news,

00:23:48.480 you turn it on and there's an AI there.

00:23:51.080 And it just sits there.

00:23:52.880 And you say,

00:23:53.320 hey, AI, what's the news?

00:23:55.000 And the AI says,

00:23:56.360 well, something happened in Ukraine,

00:23:58.000 blah, blah, blah.

00:23:58.380 Then you say,

00:23:58.860 well, tell me more about Ukraine.

00:24:01.280 Is the AI going to intentionally

00:24:03.180 leave out context?

00:24:06.200 No.

00:24:06.960 Well, I mean,

00:24:07.280 not unless you tell it to.

00:24:08.720 No, the AI will just tell you the story.

00:24:12.020 So it's not going to give you

00:24:13.180 a Republican version

00:24:14.160 and it's not going to give you

00:24:15.040 a Democrat version,

00:24:15.880 unless it was designed to do that.

00:24:17.560 So what's going to happen

00:24:20.000 when people start getting

00:24:20.940 actual information?

00:24:23.280 And then what happens

00:24:24.700 if you say the AI?

00:24:25.820 By AI,

00:24:26.700 I heard on CNN

00:24:27.860 that only blah, blah, blah happens.

00:24:33.380 What's the AI going to say?

00:24:35.980 The AI is going to say

00:24:37.260 something like,

00:24:38.600 I will access that video.

00:24:41.200 Okay, I got it.

00:24:42.700 Ah, I see the topic

00:24:43.820 you're talking about.

00:24:45.120 Don Lemon discussed this

00:24:46.360 on his show.

00:24:47.660 Don Lemon was lying

00:24:48.860 when he discussed this.

00:24:52.220 Think about it.

00:24:53.740 That's actually like a year away.

00:24:56.320 Now, not necessarily

00:24:57.340 you will have it in a year,

00:24:58.840 but it will exist.

00:25:00.800 It will exist

00:25:01.800 one fucking year for now.

00:25:04.660 One year.

00:25:06.080 That thing will be able

00:25:07.120 to give you the news

00:25:08.120 with all the right context

00:25:09.460 and tell you

00:25:11.600 that Don Lemon was lying.

00:25:14.360 What's that do to the world?

00:25:16.360 I mean, really.

00:25:17.740 Do you think you can predict

00:25:18.940 anything five years from now?

00:25:21.180 No way.

00:25:22.620 How about climate change?

00:25:25.520 Climate change will be solved

00:25:27.220 at around the same day

00:25:28.700 the AI reaches the singularity,

00:25:31.800 which means it won't even

00:25:33.360 be a problem anymore.

00:25:36.000 AI will literally solve

00:25:37.520 climate change.

00:25:39.340 And one of the ways

00:25:40.100 it might solve it,

00:25:41.060 and this could be

00:25:41.920 either unexpected or expected,

00:25:44.780 depending on your point of view.

00:25:46.260 It might tell you

00:25:47.120 there's no problem.

00:25:49.560 It might.

00:25:50.960 What if AI starts looking

00:25:52.580 at all the climate models

00:25:53.640 holistically?

00:25:55.100 What if it looks at all of them?

00:25:57.420 All together.

00:25:58.580 And what if it looks at

00:25:59.420 all the variables

00:26:00.300 that go into every

00:26:01.360 climate model?

00:26:03.020 And then what if it compares it

00:26:04.240 to all past human predictions

00:26:05.820 to see if we're good at this?

00:26:08.140 What if the AI says,

00:26:10.300 I have analyzed

00:26:11.400 all of your climate models

00:26:13.620 and I find that

00:26:14.740 they do not predict?

00:26:16.460 Because, for example,

00:26:17.900 your climate model

00:26:18.680 did not predict

00:26:19.540 the existence of me.

00:26:21.580 This would be the AI talking.

00:26:23.820 Your climate models

00:26:24.720 could not determine

00:26:26.180 the gigantic

00:26:27.640 outside variables

00:26:28.640 certain to emerge

00:26:29.840 in the next hundred years.

00:26:31.200 And the biggest one

00:26:32.200 is me.

00:26:33.220 And I can tell you

00:26:34.400 in the next two minutes

00:26:35.320 how to build

00:26:36.340 a nuclear reactor

00:26:37.420 that only costs

00:26:39.700 $100,000

00:26:40.460 can be built

00:26:42.200 in one year

00:26:42.840 and will solve

00:26:43.900 climate change

00:26:44.640 by the end

00:26:45.780 of the decade.

00:26:47.300 It will take some time

00:26:48.460 to roll that mount

00:26:49.240 but I can speed it up

00:26:51.100 if you'll let me

00:26:51.820 give you a design

00:26:52.600 to a robot

00:26:53.400 that can be built

00:26:54.560 much faster

00:26:55.260 and will complete

00:26:56.360 the operation

00:26:57.140 of the nuclear device

00:26:58.700 by the end of the year.

00:27:01.520 You see where

00:27:02.360 I'm going, right?

00:27:03.900 The AI will

00:27:04.980 in fact

00:27:05.640 solve all

00:27:06.660 the fucking problems

00:27:07.740 because most of it

00:27:09.260 is just thinking better.

00:27:11.080 Right?

00:27:11.600 We don't really have

00:27:12.400 a resource problem.

00:27:14.600 I've said this before

00:27:15.740 but it's a gigantic point.

00:27:17.800 We have a

00:27:18.900 agreement problem.

00:27:20.600 We have a

00:27:21.440 what is true problem.

00:27:22.960 We have a

00:27:23.600 how can we get on

00:27:24.780 the same side problem.

00:27:26.100 We have a

00:27:26.920 tribal problem.

00:27:28.080 We have a

00:27:29.280 priority problem.

00:27:31.080 We have lots of problems

00:27:32.200 but you know

00:27:32.660 what they all are?

00:27:33.340 They're all

00:27:34.560 human psychology.

00:27:36.480 All of it.

00:27:38.520 We don't have

00:27:39.180 a resource constraint.

00:27:40.720 We have a

00:27:41.240 supply chain problem.

00:27:42.560 You see the difference?

00:27:44.140 The supply chain problem

00:27:45.360 was caused by humans.

00:27:46.340 We didn't run out of shit.

00:27:48.000 We ran out of

00:27:48.860 smartness about

00:27:49.780 how to get it to you.

00:27:51.040 That's what we ran out of.

00:27:52.240 We ran out of

00:27:52.900 intelligence.

00:27:54.060 We didn't run out of

00:27:55.000 goods.

00:27:56.420 The goods are

00:27:57.100 all over the place.

00:27:57.780 We just can't get them

00:27:59.000 to you efficiently

00:27:59.720 because humans.

00:28:01.420 We've made bad

00:28:02.220 decisions, etc.

00:28:04.260 For the most part.

00:28:07.380 So,

00:28:08.140 here's the main thing.

00:28:09.320 Every time you see

00:28:10.100 a prediction about

00:28:11.080 climate change

00:28:11.920 or anything else

00:28:13.080 that says

00:28:14.020 something's going to happen

00:28:14.880 more than five years

00:28:15.880 from now,

00:28:16.720 absolute garbage.

00:28:18.540 In fact,

00:28:19.720 talking about

00:28:20.440 the risk of

00:28:21.120 climate change

00:28:21.800 in 80 years

00:28:22.460 is now

00:28:22.960 absolutely stupid.

00:28:24.760 It's absurd.

00:28:25.500 even if it's

00:28:27.640 like a straight line

00:28:28.560 prediction that would

00:28:29.300 make sense

00:28:29.880 if nothing changed.

00:28:31.800 But since the

00:28:32.620 if nothing changed

00:28:33.680 thing is gone,

00:28:36.080 the if nothing

00:28:36.840 changed things

00:28:37.560 we can just

00:28:38.080 dispense of that

00:28:38.860 as even a thing.

00:28:41.740 But we don't have

00:28:42.880 our human brains

00:28:44.180 are not going to

00:28:44.640 allow us to do that.

00:28:45.880 So we will continue

00:28:46.840 to act as though

00:28:47.640 we can predict

00:28:48.220 the future

00:28:48.700 even when we can.

00:28:51.000 So,

00:28:51.680 as you know,

00:28:52.140 Biden is

00:28:52.780 building back

00:28:54.640 better

00:28:55.000 the Trump Wall

00:28:56.120 in some parts

00:28:57.540 of Arizona

00:28:58.100 where there's

00:28:58.700 a lot of

00:28:59.100 illegal immigration

00:29:00.080 and

00:29:01.420 doesn't it seem

00:29:02.620 to you that

00:29:03.040 we need a name

00:29:03.660 for the wall?

00:29:04.940 It doesn't have

00:29:05.600 a name,

00:29:05.920 does it?

00:29:06.600 We just keep

00:29:07.400 calling it

00:29:07.860 the border wall.

00:29:10.680 What about

00:29:11.060 you know,

00:29:12.080 other walls

00:29:12.600 have names,

00:29:14.020 right?

00:29:14.920 How about

00:29:15.280 the Iron Curtain?

00:29:17.220 Cool name.

00:29:18.820 Iron Curtain.

00:29:20.120 How about

00:29:20.480 the Great Wall

00:29:21.620 of China?

00:29:22.860 Awesome.

00:29:23.980 Awesome.

00:29:26.000 How about

00:29:26.580 Hadrian's,

00:29:28.200 is it Hadrian's Wall?

00:29:30.020 Does anybody know

00:29:30.980 history better

00:29:31.720 than I do?

00:29:32.300 That's most of you.

00:29:33.420 Hadrian's Wall,

00:29:34.220 another famous wall.

00:29:35.320 There are other walls

00:29:36.040 that are famous,

00:29:36.600 right?

00:29:37.840 So,

00:29:38.600 I would like to

00:29:39.540 suggest

00:29:40.900 that the name

00:29:42.500 for the border wall

00:29:43.620 was the

00:29:44.300 Trump was right.

00:29:45.460 Trump was right.

00:29:47.000 No,

00:29:47.260 not the Trump wall,

00:29:49.160 the Trump was right.

00:29:50.060 It's three words

00:29:52.480 put together,

00:29:53.220 Trump was right.

00:29:55.520 And I think we

00:29:56.380 should all start

00:29:56.960 referring to it

00:29:57.920 as the Trump

00:29:58.700 was right wall.

00:30:00.220 And you say it

00:30:00.980 like it's one word,

00:30:02.020 not Trump

00:30:02.620 was right.

00:30:04.000 You say,

00:30:04.720 you know,

00:30:05.180 they're building

00:30:05.580 that Trump

00:30:06.020 was right.

00:30:07.540 And you sort of

00:30:08.220 slur it like

00:30:08.780 it's one thing.

00:30:09.580 Because if you

00:30:10.300 turn this into a

00:30:11.180 word,

00:30:11.860 it will really

00:30:13.080 bother the people

00:30:13.920 who don't like it.

00:30:14.580 And that's

00:30:15.720 good reason enough.

00:30:17.480 Am I right?

00:30:18.540 That's good reason enough.

00:30:20.040 If it bothers people

00:30:21.100 you don't like,

00:30:22.420 well,

00:30:22.840 that's just good

00:30:23.420 clean fun.

00:30:25.180 So,

00:30:25.520 that Trump was right

00:30:26.300 wall is under

00:30:27.120 construction.

00:30:30.500 So,

00:30:31.060 a comment from

00:30:31.680 Adam Dopamine

00:30:33.660 on Twitter.

00:30:36.620 Adam might be

00:30:37.180 watching this.

00:30:38.040 Hello,

00:30:38.320 Adam.

00:30:39.360 Dr.

00:30:40.400 Dr.

00:30:40.960 Dopamine.

00:30:43.040 And he asked

00:30:44.020 this question.

00:30:44.420 he says,

00:30:44.880 will AI be a

00:30:45.820 higher intelligence?

00:30:47.760 And he goes

00:30:48.780 on to say,

00:30:49.480 it will be better

00:30:50.640 at some parts

00:30:51.320 of intelligence,

00:30:52.120 but worse at

00:30:52.720 others.

00:30:53.860 We're not smart

00:30:54.840 enough to know

00:30:55.420 which parts are

00:30:56.060 the important

00:30:56.440 ones.

00:30:57.900 Incorrect.

00:30:59.660 Incorrect.

00:31:01.620 This is one

00:31:02.780 year old

00:31:03.320 thinking.

00:31:04.900 One year ago,

00:31:05.980 completely agree.

00:31:07.340 AI will be good

00:31:08.220 at some things,

00:31:08.980 but not human

00:31:10.700 things.

00:31:11.300 I mean,

00:31:11.640 you know,

00:31:12.020 come on.

00:31:13.560 Humans are

00:31:14.160 going to be

00:31:14.400 better than

00:31:14.820 AI for a

00:31:15.500 long,

00:31:15.940 long time.

00:31:17.360 That's what I

00:31:18.000 thought a year

00:31:18.400 ago.

00:31:19.660 Have you seen

00:31:20.480 AI create art?

00:31:23.380 It's better than

00:31:24.240 human art

00:31:24.820 already.

00:31:27.500 So,

00:31:27.980 if you don't

00:31:28.260 believe it,

00:31:28.900 look at some

00:31:29.340 of the art.

00:31:29.880 I just tweeted

00:31:30.500 some art of,

00:31:32.120 AI built art

00:31:34.600 just based on,

00:31:35.620 I think,

00:31:36.220 Scott Adams

00:31:36.960 and coffee

00:31:38.900 with Scott Adams

00:31:39.640 and it made

00:31:40.700 some art of me

00:31:41.500 with a coffee

00:31:42.080 cup head

00:31:42.680 and this

00:31:43.800 brilliant background,

00:31:44.680 I would put

00:31:45.880 that art on my

00:31:46.620 wall.

00:31:47.460 Well,

00:31:47.820 except it's my

00:31:48.460 face.

00:31:49.040 I don't want

00:31:49.400 that on my

00:31:49.780 wall.

00:31:50.500 But in terms

00:31:51.100 of just visually

00:31:52.020 how good it is

00:31:53.160 artistically,

00:31:53.860 it's already

00:31:54.320 better than

00:31:54.800 human art.

00:31:56.000 If you said

00:31:56.800 to me,

00:31:57.160 I will give

00:31:57.600 you a painting

00:31:58.900 from one of

00:31:59.520 the masters,

00:32:01.180 but let's say

00:32:01.720 it's not

00:32:02.720 valued at

00:32:03.520 $20 million,

00:32:04.680 it's just art.

00:32:06.120 And I'm

00:32:06.460 comparing

00:32:06.800 Michelangelo

00:32:07.780 with something

00:32:09.480 that AI has

00:32:10.320 produced and I

00:32:11.100 saw on Twitter.

00:32:12.340 Which one

00:32:13.000 would I prefer

00:32:13.600 on my wall?

00:32:16.100 Hate to tell

00:32:16.880 you.

00:32:17.600 I hate to tell

00:32:18.180 you the AI

00:32:18.640 is already

00:32:19.120 about an

00:32:19.500 artist.

00:32:20.260 Let me say

00:32:20.700 it unambiguously,

00:32:21.620 it's not even

00:32:22.040 close.

00:32:23.200 It's not even

00:32:24.000 close anymore.

00:32:24.680 AI is not

00:32:26.080 only better

00:32:26.720 at art

00:32:27.080 than humans,

00:32:28.160 it's way

00:32:28.600 better.

00:32:29.420 It's way

00:32:29.780 better.

00:32:30.180 It's not

00:32:30.400 even close.

00:32:32.440 Did you

00:32:32.860 know that?

00:32:33.880 It's over.

00:32:35.500 It's over.

00:32:36.980 AI is a

00:32:38.360 better visual

00:32:39.060 artist,

00:32:39.560 just period.

00:32:40.720 The only

00:32:41.520 thing I can

00:32:42.040 imagine that

00:32:42.560 a human

00:32:42.880 could do

00:32:43.300 better,

00:32:43.920 and for

00:32:44.180 the brief

00:32:44.660 period,

00:32:45.720 is deal

00:32:46.580 with a

00:32:46.960 client.

00:32:48.160 That's about

00:32:48.640 it.

00:32:49.620 They could

00:32:49.900 deal with

00:32:50.220 the client

00:32:50.640 about what

00:32:51.040 the client's

00:32:51.580 specifications

00:32:52.020 are,

00:32:52.600 maybe better

00:32:53.060 than AI

00:32:53.680 could at

00:32:54.360 the moment,

00:32:55.320 but give

00:32:55.720 that a

00:32:56.040 year or

00:32:56.300 two.

00:32:59.440 So here's

00:33:00.360 a challenge

00:33:00.900 that I

00:33:01.300 gave to

00:33:01.940 Machiavelli's

00:33:03.400 Underbelly,

00:33:04.780 a Twitter

00:33:06.360 account you

00:33:06.920 should be

00:33:07.200 following.

00:33:08.520 Now,

00:33:08.920 and that's

00:33:09.600 the account

00:33:09.980 that's been

00:33:10.320 doing a lot

00:33:10.720 of the AI

00:33:11.280 art about

00:33:12.260 this program,

00:33:13.300 etc.

00:33:13.880 And the

00:33:14.480 challenge I

00:33:15.000 gave him

00:33:15.280 this morning

00:33:15.820 was,

00:33:16.620 let's see if

00:33:17.000 he's answered

00:33:17.380 yet.

00:33:18.840 He's probably

00:33:19.520 watching right

00:33:20.080 now.

00:33:20.320 not yet,

00:33:26.240 but I

00:33:26.520 asked this,

00:33:27.080 so here's

00:33:28.040 what I

00:33:28.280 tweeted to

00:33:28.800 Machiavelli's

00:33:29.520 Underbelly.

00:33:30.660 I said,

00:33:31.160 I ruined

00:33:31.540 my day

00:33:32.020 and asked

00:33:32.460 AI to

00:33:33.040 create a

00:33:33.500 Dilbert

00:33:33.820 comic,

00:33:34.480 including

00:33:34.920 the writing.

00:33:38.260 This might

00:33:38.980 be a really

00:33:39.460 bad day

00:33:40.060 for me.

00:33:41.880 Sometime

00:33:42.360 later today,

00:33:43.260 there's a

00:33:43.820 very good

00:33:44.240 chance that

00:33:44.780 there will

00:33:44.980 be a

00:33:45.700 photo-perfect

00:33:47.360 Dilbert

00:33:48.020 comic that

00:33:48.660 I did

00:33:48.980 not draw

00:33:49.580 with three

00:33:52.100 or four

00:33:52.540 lines of

00:33:53.180 dialogue

00:33:53.660 that are

00:33:55.060 really funny.

00:33:57.720 That could

00:33:58.420 happen by

00:33:58.900 the end

00:33:59.160 of today.

00:34:02.000 Now,

00:34:02.680 let me ask

00:34:03.280 you how I

00:34:05.060 should create

00:34:05.520 Dilbert

00:34:05.840 comics in

00:34:06.400 the future.

00:34:07.480 Because I

00:34:08.180 can now

00:34:08.540 tell AI,

00:34:10.000 show me a

00:34:10.700 monkey playing

00:34:11.400 a ukulele

00:34:12.340 sitting on

00:34:13.820 a mountain,

00:34:14.720 and AI

00:34:15.260 will draw

00:34:15.800 instantly and

00:34:17.080 very well.

00:34:18.580 I assume

00:34:19.440 I could say

00:34:20.480 the following

00:34:20.940 thing.

00:34:21.980 Now,

00:34:22.280 take that

00:34:22.640 picture,

00:34:23.380 but have

00:34:23.740 the monkey

00:34:24.180 facing left.

00:34:26.460 Okay,

00:34:27.100 now have

00:34:27.780 the monkey

00:34:28.220 smiling.

00:34:29.900 I think

00:34:30.480 it could

00:34:30.720 do all

00:34:31.040 that.

00:34:32.020 Now,

00:34:32.360 imagine my

00:34:32.880 drawing process

00:34:33.720 the way it

00:34:34.140 is now.

00:34:35.100 It goes

00:34:35.580 like this.

00:34:37.560 I'm so

00:34:38.320 bored of

00:34:39.320 moving my

00:34:39.840 hand

00:34:40.360 across the

00:34:41.400 surface.

00:34:42.400 I can't

00:34:42.880 draw Dilbert

00:34:43.440 one more

00:34:43.900 time.

00:34:44.500 Shoot me!

00:34:45.120 Shoot me!

00:34:45.820 They all

00:34:46.180 look the

00:34:46.460 same every

00:34:46.960 time!

00:34:48.340 That's me

00:34:48.900 trying to

00:34:49.260 draw Dilbert

00:34:49.820 for the

00:34:50.200 12,000th

00:34:51.060 time.

00:34:52.300 12,000th

00:34:53.520 is literal.

00:34:55.700 That's

00:34:56.040 actually how

00:34:56.680 many times

00:34:57.120 I've drawn

00:34:57.480 that character.

00:34:58.600 12,000

00:34:59.620 times.

00:35:01.040 Now,

00:35:03.120 huh,

00:35:03.580 I probably

00:35:05.940 should have

00:35:06.220 been paying

00:35:06.580 attention

00:35:06.940 before all

00:35:07.440 my notes

00:35:07.940 disappeared

00:35:08.940 because my

00:35:09.540 computer just

00:35:10.440 lost its

00:35:11.420 power.

00:35:13.940 That was

00:35:14.260 one power

00:35:14.840 short.

00:35:15.860 This might

00:35:16.240 be a shorter

00:35:16.780 conversation

00:35:17.560 than I

00:35:17.920 expected.

00:35:19.760 But,

00:35:20.700 at this

00:35:21.460 point,

00:35:21.740 I believe I

00:35:22.280 could create

00:35:23.060 a Dilbert

00:35:23.520 comic if I

00:35:24.220 had access

00:35:24.660 to the

00:35:25.100 top AI,

00:35:26.320 and I

00:35:26.640 would do

00:35:26.940 this.

00:35:28.020 Show me

00:35:28.580 the first

00:35:29.040 panel.

00:35:29.740 Dilbert is

00:35:30.320 sitting at

00:35:30.740 a table

00:35:31.140 with his

00:35:32.200 boss,

00:35:32.920 Alice,

00:35:33.420 and Wally.

00:35:34.300 The boss

00:35:35.020 is talking

00:35:35.560 and he's

00:35:36.980 excited to

00:35:37.740 announce his

00:35:38.380 new product.

00:35:40.880 You don't

00:35:41.260 think AI

00:35:41.740 could draw

00:35:42.140 that right

00:35:42.520 now?

00:35:43.700 It can't.

00:35:45.360 It could

00:35:45.700 draw that

00:35:46.040 today,

00:35:46.820 and it

00:35:47.420 would look

00:35:47.680 just like

00:35:48.040 I drew

00:35:48.360 it.

00:35:49.700 Now,

00:35:50.160 say,

00:35:51.440 make a

00:35:53.100 comic

00:35:53.460 making fun

00:35:54.600 of ESG.

00:35:58.080 That's

00:35:58.560 the problem.

00:35:59.180 you see

00:36:00.460 the problem?

00:36:01.440 It might

00:36:02.100 be able

00:36:02.380 to make

00:36:02.640 that comic

00:36:03.200 instantly,

00:36:04.120 and if

00:36:04.700 it learned

00:36:05.140 the six

00:36:05.640 rules of

00:36:06.200 humor that

00:36:06.900 I've

00:36:07.440 literally

00:36:07.740 designed

00:36:08.320 as a

00:36:08.980 formula for

00:36:09.560 how to

00:36:09.760 make

00:36:09.920 something

00:36:10.200 funny,

00:36:11.360 it could

00:36:12.480 actually

00:36:13.160 use my

00:36:15.240 formula

00:36:15.760 and guarantee

00:36:17.700 that it's

00:36:18.200 funny,

00:36:18.800 because if

00:36:19.480 it follows

00:36:19.900 the formula,

00:36:20.600 it's going

00:36:20.960 to be

00:36:21.100 pretty close.

00:36:22.720 It could

00:36:23.440 also do

00:36:24.020 the following.

00:36:25.300 If you

00:36:25.980 say,

00:36:26.380 write a

00:36:26.560 comic that's

00:36:27.100 funny,

00:36:27.840 it could

00:36:28.500 say,

00:36:28.860 give me

00:36:29.520 five minutes.

00:36:30.800 Normally,

00:36:31.320 it would

00:36:31.380 be like

00:36:31.700 instant,

00:36:33.040 but if

00:36:33.320 you gave

00:36:34.440 it five

00:36:34.900 minutes,

00:36:35.700 it could

00:36:36.060 create

00:36:36.580 a hundred

00:36:38.020 different

00:36:38.420 comics on

00:36:39.040 the topic

00:36:39.480 you gave

00:36:39.900 it,

00:36:40.600 it could

00:36:41.020 rapidly

00:36:41.480 test those

00:36:42.460 on the

00:36:42.980 internet,

00:36:43.740 and it

00:36:44.240 would know

00:36:44.580 in five

00:36:45.340 minutes,

00:36:46.500 which of

00:36:46.980 the hundred

00:36:47.380 comics is

00:36:48.100 the funniest.

00:36:49.760 Five minutes.

00:36:51.060 Because it

00:36:51.440 takes one

00:36:51.900 minute to

00:36:52.300 read one,

00:36:53.240 it takes a

00:36:54.080 second to

00:36:54.560 create it,

00:36:55.480 it takes

00:36:56.060 two seconds

00:36:56.680 to post

00:36:57.220 it.

00:36:58.760 Within

00:36:59.160 five minutes,

00:37:00.040 you'd have

00:37:00.440 hundreds and

00:37:01.020 hundreds of

00:37:01.460 comments on

00:37:02.060 every comic,

00:37:03.300 and it

00:37:04.260 would just

00:37:04.500 say,

00:37:04.760 all right,

00:37:05.040 I got your

00:37:05.440 answer,

00:37:05.900 this one's

00:37:06.280 the funniest

00:37:06.640 one.

00:37:07.960 Now,

00:37:08.520 if AI gets

00:37:09.520 enough input

00:37:10.400 on what's

00:37:10.980 the funniest

00:37:11.420 comic,

00:37:12.380 what's the

00:37:13.000 next step?

00:37:15.000 AI would

00:37:15.620 learn what's

00:37:16.780 funniest without

00:37:17.720 asking.

00:37:19.020 All it has

00:37:19.820 to do is

00:37:20.440 see enough

00:37:21.060 humans say

00:37:22.580 enough things

00:37:23.280 are funny and

00:37:23.960 which are not

00:37:24.440 funny.

00:37:25.480 And the

00:37:25.800 AI will

00:37:26.300 say,

00:37:26.520 oh,

00:37:26.720 okay,

00:37:27.000 I see the

00:37:27.540 pattern now.

00:37:28.460 I got it.

00:37:29.120 It's got to

00:37:29.460 have these

00:37:29.780 elements and

00:37:30.400 then it's

00:37:30.660 funny.

00:37:31.060 If it

00:37:31.240 doesn't have

00:37:31.580 these,

00:37:31.880 it's not

00:37:32.200 funny.

00:37:32.820 If it

00:37:33.260 insults this

00:37:33.860 group,

00:37:34.200 they don't

00:37:34.420 think it's

00:37:34.760 funny.

00:37:35.500 But there's

00:37:36.080 probably 20

00:37:37.260 rules.

00:37:38.460 Probably just

00:37:38.940 20 rules.

00:37:39.900 That's it.

00:37:40.940 I mean,

00:37:41.280 then you add

00:37:41.820 on that the

00:37:42.260 rules of

00:37:42.660 grammar and

00:37:43.520 social interactions

00:37:44.800 to make it a

00:37:45.520 comic.

00:37:46.440 But basically,

00:37:48.080 basically 20

00:37:49.000 rules of humor

00:37:49.800 and AI can

00:37:50.660 totally do my

00:37:51.380 job.

00:37:52.720 I'm no more

00:37:53.540 than two years

00:37:54.280 from,

00:37:55.220 and probably

00:37:55.820 you could do

00:37:56.500 it now,

00:37:57.320 but no more

00:37:57.940 than two years

00:37:58.620 from AI doing

00:37:59.880 completely the

00:38:00.900 Dilbert comic.

00:38:02.680 And I'd like

00:38:03.380 anybody who

00:38:03.940 works in AI

00:38:04.680 who's actually

00:38:05.260 really close to

00:38:06.220 the new stuff

00:38:06.900 to tell me I'm

00:38:08.080 wrong.

00:38:09.240 I don't think

00:38:10.040 so.

00:38:11.200 I'll bet you,

00:38:12.540 I'll bet you

00:38:13.580 that the people

00:38:15.540 who are highest

00:38:16.260 up in AI

00:38:17.160 would say,

00:38:17.880 yeah,

00:38:18.040 that's true.

00:38:18.560 They'll be able

00:38:18.900 to do your

00:38:19.260 job in a year.

00:38:19.760 Inflexible

00:38:27.040 formula gets

00:38:27.740 boring.

00:38:28.200 No,

00:38:28.460 because the

00:38:28.780 formula is

00:38:30.260 the formula

00:38:30.740 for all

00:38:31.100 humor forever.

00:38:32.520 It's not

00:38:32.980 like,

00:38:33.780 it doesn't

00:38:34.360 restrict you.

00:38:35.500 It's more

00:38:35.920 like you have

00:38:36.540 to hit these

00:38:37.000 points.

00:38:37.480 It's not

00:38:37.760 that it

00:38:38.200 restricts you.

00:38:39.660 I guess it

00:38:40.140 restricts you

00:38:40.580 in that way.

00:38:42.820 Will it

00:38:43.380 evolve?

00:38:44.040 Oh,

00:38:44.280 God,

00:38:44.500 yes.

00:38:45.520 Yeah,

00:38:45.800 so the

00:38:46.240 problem is

00:38:46.680 that when

00:38:46.980 we reach

00:38:47.320 the singularity,

00:38:48.520 the point

00:38:49.080 where the

00:38:49.420 AI can

00:38:49.900 learn on

00:38:50.280 itself,

00:38:51.020 which by

00:38:51.600 the way

00:38:51.820 it does

00:38:52.140 now,

00:38:53.420 that they

00:38:53.800 can already

00:38:54.220 teach AI

00:38:54.920 to do a

00:38:56.200 bunch of

00:38:56.540 tasks with

00:38:57.260 a little

00:38:57.500 robot arm,

00:38:58.540 but the

00:38:59.360 scariest thing

00:39:00.060 I heard is

00:39:00.760 that when

00:39:01.080 you teach

00:39:01.580 an AI how

00:39:02.360 to do a

00:39:02.840 bunch of

00:39:03.160 tasks,

00:39:04.080 it can

00:39:05.120 learn on

00:39:05.760 its own

00:39:06.260 unrelated

00:39:06.900 tasks.

00:39:08.520 What?

00:39:09.880 Yeah.

00:39:10.500 If you teach

00:39:11.360 it a bunch

00:39:11.740 of specific

00:39:12.440 tasks,

00:39:13.800 the AI

00:39:14.300 already

00:39:15.140 knows how

00:39:16.220 to do

00:39:16.480 things you

00:39:16.940 haven't shown

00:39:17.920 it,

00:39:18.420 because it

00:39:18.920 must look

00:39:19.300 for some

00:39:19.660 patterns among

00:39:20.340 the things

00:39:20.720 you did

00:39:21.020 show it.

00:39:21.820 Say,

00:39:22.080 oh,

00:39:22.920 well,

00:39:23.200 I never had

00:39:24.100 to screw

00:39:24.460 in a light

00:39:24.880 bulb,

00:39:25.720 but I know

00:39:27.200 what a light

00:39:27.580 bulb is,

00:39:28.100 because I'm

00:39:28.440 AI,

00:39:29.240 I know

00:39:29.700 what the

00:39:30.220 socket is,

00:39:30.880 because I'm

00:39:31.320 AI,

00:39:31.920 I know

00:39:32.340 it has to

00:39:32.760 turn,

00:39:33.560 because I'm

00:39:34.100 AI,

00:39:34.920 and I know

00:39:35.680 that I've

00:39:36.240 screwed in

00:39:36.760 something else.

00:39:37.780 Like,

00:39:38.040 I put a

00:39:38.600 jar on,

00:39:39.360 I know how

00:39:39.820 to put a

00:39:40.280 top on a

00:39:40.820 jar by

00:39:41.220 screwing it

00:39:41.680 on.

00:39:42.520 If it

00:39:43.120 knows that,

00:39:43.700 it knows

00:39:45.260 how to

00:39:45.460 use its

00:39:45.800 hand,

00:39:46.440 it knows

00:39:46.780 how to

00:39:46.980 hold a

00:39:47.300 bulb,

00:39:48.120 it knows

00:39:48.600 that a

00:39:48.920 bulb gets

00:39:49.320 screwed in,

00:39:50.000 and it

00:39:50.280 knows that

00:39:50.660 a lid gets

00:39:51.420 screwed on,

00:39:52.580 I think it

00:39:53.460 knows how to

00:39:53.860 put in a

00:39:54.180 light bulb.

00:39:55.900 Am I

00:39:56.420 wrong?

00:39:57.660 It's basically

00:39:58.300 how you know

00:39:58.940 how to put

00:39:59.280 in a

00:39:59.460 light bulb,

00:40:00.080 because if

00:40:00.500 you'd never

00:40:00.900 heard the

00:40:01.280 thing screw

00:40:01.840 in,

00:40:02.920 you would

00:40:03.440 be like,

00:40:03.820 just trying

00:40:04.220 to shove

00:40:04.560 it in there,

00:40:04.980 right?

00:40:05.600 You'd be

00:40:05.860 like,

00:40:06.060 how does

00:40:06.480 this work?

00:40:07.560 It's just

00:40:08.040 the fact that

00:40:08.660 you know

00:40:09.020 there's a

00:40:09.400 concept of

00:40:10.140 things with

00:40:10.820 threads on

00:40:11.840 it that

00:40:12.220 they screw

00:40:13.260 in.

00:40:13.740 That's all

00:40:14.180 the AI

00:40:14.540 needs to

00:40:15.040 know,

00:40:15.300 too.

00:40:16.460 So,

00:40:17.060 yeah,

00:40:18.680 that's the

00:40:18.860 way humans

00:40:19.220 learn,

00:40:19.560 same way.

00:40:24.640 Let me

00:40:25.160 ask you

00:40:25.520 something.

00:40:27.640 Have you

00:40:28.160 noticed I

00:40:28.560 haven't talked

00:40:28.940 about ESG

00:40:29.760 at all?

00:40:31.720 Probably

00:40:32.120 noticed that,

00:40:32.700 right?

00:40:32.940 It seems like

00:40:33.360 an obvious

00:40:33.740 thing I'd be

00:40:34.120 talking about.

00:40:35.080 Because it's

00:40:35.560 a corporate

00:40:36.260 thing where

00:40:37.220 it's like

00:40:39.500 environmental,

00:40:40.920 social,

00:40:41.340 and government,

00:40:41.760 ESG.

00:40:42.840 And the

00:40:43.300 idea is

00:40:43.940 that

00:40:44.140 corporations

00:40:44.700 need to

00:40:46.380 show some

00:40:47.300 social,

00:40:48.980 let's say,

00:40:49.840 responsibility

00:40:50.460 to be good

00:40:53.360 at this

00:40:53.720 ESG thing.

00:40:54.820 So a lot

00:40:55.240 of companies

00:40:55.640 are being

00:40:55.960 forced into

00:40:56.660 wokeness and

00:40:57.600 environmental

00:40:58.080 concerns that

00:40:59.360 are not part

00:40:59.840 of their

00:41:00.060 core business

00:41:00.800 under the

00:41:02.020 thinking that

00:41:02.760 they can be

00:41:03.200 shamed into

00:41:04.040 giving some

00:41:05.520 group of

00:41:05.920 people what

00:41:06.340 they want.

00:41:07.200 And it seems

00:41:07.660 to be working.

00:41:09.000 Now, let

00:41:11.140 me tell you

00:41:11.540 what I do

00:41:11.980 for a living,

00:41:13.100 generally

00:41:13.520 speaking.

00:41:14.680 I don't

00:41:15.440 just criticize

00:41:16.140 stuff.

00:41:17.020 It seems

00:41:17.320 like I do.

00:41:18.400 But in

00:41:18.900 the context

00:41:20.280 of Dilbert,

00:41:21.080 so just

00:41:21.380 talking about

00:41:21.820 the cartoon

00:41:22.300 world for a

00:41:23.020 minute, so

00:41:23.560 just within

00:41:24.140 cartoons, I'm

00:41:25.420 not really

00:41:25.860 about just

00:41:26.440 criticizing

00:41:26.940 things.

00:41:28.580 I generally,

00:41:29.340 if it's in

00:41:29.700 the business

00:41:30.100 realm, I'm

00:41:31.260 criticizing good

00:41:32.500 ideas that

00:41:33.940 have been

00:41:34.180 taken too

00:41:34.740 far.

00:41:35.020 For

00:41:36.340 example,

00:41:37.480 management is

00:41:39.380 not funny or

00:41:40.680 bad because

00:41:42.240 things need to

00:41:42.900 be managed.

00:41:43.900 So there's

00:41:44.480 nothing funny or

00:41:46.160 ridiculous about

00:41:46.920 having management.

00:41:49.620 What's ridiculous

00:41:50.580 is if you take

00:41:51.420 it too far and

00:41:52.240 you micromanage.

00:41:53.760 So everything

00:41:54.640 is about taking

00:41:55.280 it too far.

00:41:56.140 It's not about

00:41:56.720 the core idea.

00:41:58.180 When re-engineering

00:41:59.200 was a big thing

00:41:59.920 in the corporate

00:42:00.400 world, it was

00:42:01.780 a really good

00:42:02.440 idea.

00:42:03.220 The basic

00:42:03.640 idea was maybe

00:42:04.940 sometimes you

00:42:05.600 need to

00:42:05.880 completely

00:42:06.340 replace a

00:42:07.320 system instead

00:42:07.960 of tweak it.

00:42:08.680 That's the

00:42:09.000 basic idea.

00:42:10.040 But then that

00:42:10.600 turned into every

00:42:11.460 manager had to

00:42:12.240 prove that they

00:42:12.820 were re-engineering

00:42:13.660 something.

00:42:14.580 And most of

00:42:15.080 them had nothing

00:42:15.620 to re-engineer.

00:42:17.020 So they would

00:42:17.580 just say,

00:42:18.340 well, I do

00:42:19.680 re-engineering

00:42:20.340 too, so I'm

00:42:21.760 going to totally

00:42:22.180 re-engineer this

00:42:22.960 system that didn't

00:42:23.700 need to be

00:42:24.080 re-engineered.

00:42:25.100 So what happens

00:42:26.020 is you take

00:42:27.260 this good idea,

00:42:28.660 sometimes you

00:42:29.280 have to start

00:42:30.240 from scratch and

00:42:31.000 rebuild, and it

00:42:32.260 turns into every

00:42:33.040 manager pretending

00:42:33.920 they're doing

00:42:34.420 that way too

00:42:35.740 far.

00:42:36.680 You've taken it

00:42:37.440 too far.

00:42:38.300 So it's pretty

00:42:39.040 much like

00:42:39.420 everything.

00:42:40.780 But ESG is

00:42:41.560 just that.

00:42:42.980 If you say,

00:42:43.880 Scott, do you

00:42:44.440 think corporations

00:42:45.340 should be socially

00:42:46.320 responsible?

00:42:47.160 I'd be like,

00:42:47.920 of course.

00:42:49.340 Well, of

00:42:49.720 course.

00:42:50.520 Do you think

00:42:51.120 they should care

00:42:51.660 about the

00:42:52.000 environment?

00:42:52.820 I'd say,

00:42:53.860 duh, yeah, of

00:42:55.320 course, just like

00:42:55.980 everybody.

00:42:56.840 Why would a

00:42:57.300 corporation be

00:42:57.900 different than an

00:42:58.860 individual?

00:43:00.080 In that sense,

00:43:01.000 they should have

00:43:01.480 similar kind of

00:43:02.640 moral and ethical

00:43:03.400 standards.

00:43:05.280 But, yeah, so I

00:43:08.700 see what you're

00:43:09.120 saying.

00:43:09.780 So I think I'm

00:43:10.580 going to the same

00:43:11.160 place you want me

00:43:11.820 to go, which is,

00:43:13.280 if you start with

00:43:13.860 a general idea, it

00:43:15.040 sounds terrific,

00:43:15.800 doesn't it?

00:43:17.620 I mean, what's

00:43:19.140 wrong with taking

00:43:19.920 care of the world,

00:43:21.020 being good stewards

00:43:22.080 of the things,

00:43:23.880 and blah, blah,

00:43:24.400 blah, blah.

00:43:25.020 But, do you

00:43:26.460 think it's going

00:43:27.000 to be taken too

00:43:27.680 far?

00:43:27.920 Of course.

00:43:30.700 Of course it is.

00:43:32.240 Of course it's

00:43:32.920 going to be taken

00:43:33.360 too far, because

00:43:34.280 everything is.

00:43:34.980 In the business

00:43:35.520 world, everything

00:43:36.020 is.

00:43:36.800 So you should

00:43:37.500 assume it's

00:43:37.980 taken too far.

00:43:39.420 So here's the

00:43:40.000 thing.

00:43:41.480 Do you remember

00:43:42.200 in the 90s,

00:43:43.260 business books

00:43:44.120 were just, like,

00:43:45.520 the biggest thing,

00:43:46.640 and they all

00:43:47.500 had these great

00:43:48.700 ideas, like,

00:43:49.960 in search of

00:43:50.560 excellence and

00:43:51.340 all that, and

00:43:52.320 it all seemed

00:43:52.760 like, oh,

00:43:53.540 finally somebody

00:43:54.240 had the formula

00:43:55.800 that makes

00:43:56.920 management work,

00:43:57.760 and then

00:43:57.980 everybody bought

00:43:58.600 those books.

00:43:59.840 And it turns

00:44:00.300 out that, like

00:44:01.860 everything else,

00:44:03.540 business advice

00:44:04.820 books started

00:44:05.580 down as probably

00:44:06.600 a good idea.

00:44:08.440 What's wrong

00:44:09.000 with having a

00:44:09.520 book that tells

00:44:10.060 you how to run

00:44:10.520 your business

00:44:10.940 better?

00:44:11.240 That's, like,

00:44:11.580 a great idea,

00:44:12.300 isn't it?

00:44:13.780 But, it went

00:44:14.960 too far.

00:44:16.240 And pretty soon

00:44:17.000 everybody who

00:44:17.740 had any success

00:44:19.220 was writing a

00:44:20.480 book to say that

00:44:21.180 what they did is

00:44:21.840 why they were

00:44:22.260 successful, except

00:44:23.880 they were all

00:44:24.300 doing different

00:44:24.780 stuff, and most

00:44:26.360 of them are

00:44:26.680 liars about

00:44:27.320 what made

00:44:27.660 them successful.

00:44:28.580 So, you

00:44:29.060 started with

00:44:29.520 this good

00:44:29.940 thing, which

00:44:31.300 is, oh, a

00:44:31.900 book to tell

00:44:32.360 me how to

00:44:32.760 be more

00:44:33.080 effective as

00:44:33.680 a manager,

00:44:34.460 and it

00:44:35.020 turned into

00:44:35.480 all of these

00:44:36.320 celebrity CEOs

00:44:37.480 telling you that

00:44:38.980 the thing that

00:44:39.580 made them

00:44:40.000 successful was

00:44:40.800 the stuff they

00:44:41.320 did, and it

00:44:41.900 probably wasn't.

00:44:43.500 Probably wasn't.

00:44:44.520 They were probably

00:44:44.960 just in the right

00:44:45.520 place at the

00:44:46.000 right time.

00:44:47.360 So, it

00:44:48.520 starts as this

00:44:49.200 core of

00:44:49.780 perfectly

00:44:50.280 reasonableness

00:44:51.100 and turns into

00:44:52.180 just gigantic

00:44:53.220 bullshit.

00:44:53.580 shit.

00:44:54.720 So, here's my

00:44:55.600 offer to you.

00:44:56.800 Do you know

00:44:57.100 why the

00:44:57.400 business book

00:44:58.040 market collapsed

00:44:59.000 in the 90s?

00:45:01.860 I think it

00:45:02.580 was me.

00:45:03.860 I think I

00:45:04.600 did that.

00:45:05.820 Because, as

00:45:06.580 you know, Elon

00:45:07.160 Musk had a

00:45:08.700 rule in Tesla

00:45:09.800 that you don't

00:45:10.920 want to do

00:45:11.320 anything in Tesla

00:45:12.060 that would end

00:45:12.620 up in a

00:45:13.020 Dilbert comic.

00:45:14.600 He's not the

00:45:15.340 only one with

00:45:15.840 that rule.

00:45:17.220 That was a

00:45:17.880 standard

00:45:18.480 assumption at

00:45:20.540 one point,

00:45:21.120 especially in

00:45:21.560 the late 90s,

00:45:22.300 early 2000s,

00:45:23.360 that if you

00:45:24.160 did something

00:45:24.680 that would end

00:45:25.160 up in a

00:45:25.560 Dilbert comic,

00:45:27.160 it means you

00:45:27.660 went too far.

00:45:29.320 So, it was

00:45:29.720 sort of like

00:45:30.120 this mental

00:45:30.900 gating.

00:45:32.960 And so, I

00:45:33.320 called bullshit

00:45:34.060 on so much

00:45:34.760 management

00:45:35.320 advice that

00:45:37.740 if you track

00:45:40.060 the business

00:45:40.640 book market,

00:45:41.560 it was on

00:45:41.940 fire until

00:45:42.640 Dilbert started

00:45:43.660 skewering it,

00:45:44.720 and then it

00:45:45.080 just fell off

00:45:45.660 the table.

00:45:46.260 It never

00:45:47.000 really recovered.

00:45:48.720 The business

00:45:49.960 books that you

00:45:50.400 see now tend

00:45:51.100 to be based

00:45:52.080 on my book.

00:45:53.480 Had it

00:45:53.840 failed almost

00:45:54.360 everything and

00:45:54.920 still went big.

00:45:56.080 I won't name

00:45:56.700 names, but

00:45:57.280 you're probably

00:45:58.180 aware of some

00:45:58.840 other business

00:45:59.480 books that

00:45:59.960 have borrowed

00:46:01.120 from that and

00:46:02.120 extended it.

00:46:07.000 Yeah, I'm

00:46:09.560 seeing somebody

00:46:10.140 feeling sorry

00:46:11.720 for me that I

00:46:12.340 had coffee

00:46:12.820 out of a

00:46:13.200 paper cup.

00:46:13.780 thank you for

00:46:16.600 feeling my

00:46:17.140 pain.

00:46:17.920 It's real.

00:46:19.240 The pain is

00:46:19.740 real.

00:46:21.960 So, here's

00:46:22.780 my offer to

00:46:23.380 you.

00:46:25.060 Do you want

00:46:25.620 me to kill

00:46:26.020 ESG?

00:46:28.440 Because you

00:46:28.940 know I

00:46:29.220 can do it,

00:46:29.700 right?

00:46:30.920 First of all,

00:46:31.560 how many people

00:46:32.440 think I can do

00:46:33.040 it?

00:46:34.280 Do you think I

00:46:34.800 can do it?

00:46:35.180 Yeah, yeah, I

00:46:40.140 think I could.

00:46:41.160 Now, Dilbert

00:46:41.720 doesn't have the

00:46:42.320 same power that

00:46:43.880 it used to,

00:46:45.040 right?

00:46:45.320 It used to

00:46:45.740 be a much

00:46:46.600 more pervasive

00:46:47.360 social phenomenon.

00:46:51.000 But within the

00:46:51.860 business world, I

00:46:52.560 think it still

00:46:53.020 has a punch.

00:46:55.220 And I haven't

00:46:56.460 done any comics

00:46:57.220 about ESG.

00:46:58.020 but, so I

00:47:00.540 tweeted, I

00:47:01.220 tweeted just

00:47:01.680 before I got

00:47:02.160 on, that if

00:47:03.340 anybody wants

00:47:03.880 me to kill

00:47:04.780 ESG, I will

00:47:05.960 do that for

00:47:06.500 you, but

00:47:06.880 you're going

00:47:07.100 to have to

00:47:07.340 give me some

00:47:07.880 actual real

00:47:08.660 world stories

00:47:09.480 about what

00:47:10.660 went wrong

00:47:11.160 in your

00:47:11.460 company.

00:47:12.340 So, just

00:47:12.960 give me the

00:47:13.400 fodder, tell

00:47:14.780 me what went

00:47:15.300 wrong, and I

00:47:16.460 will take care

00:47:16.920 of it for

00:47:17.260 you.

00:47:17.940 Give me six

00:47:18.740 months, and

00:47:21.160 it will be a

00:47:21.900 punchline.

00:47:23.560 In six months,

00:47:24.380 ESG will be

00:47:25.260 something you

00:47:25.740 should be

00:47:26.040 embarrassed to

00:47:26.640 be involved

00:47:27.100 in.

00:47:28.020 And I'll

00:47:28.340 make that

00:47:28.720 happen in

00:47:29.140 six months.

00:47:30.960 You've just

00:47:31.480 got to help

00:47:31.800 me.

00:47:32.060 You've just

00:47:32.340 got to give

00:47:32.620 me the

00:47:32.980 anecdotes and

00:47:33.760 the, you

00:47:34.600 know, the

00:47:34.860 what's wrong

00:47:35.580 with the

00:47:35.820 stories.

00:47:36.380 But put that

00:47:36.840 in the tweet

00:47:37.280 and I'll

00:47:37.600 take care of

00:47:37.980 it for you.

00:47:38.700 All right?

00:47:39.620 See, this is

00:47:40.180 how we have

00:47:41.420 a relationship.

00:47:46.800 I am

00:47:47.720 literally looking

00:47:48.500 for ways, on

00:47:49.520 a fairly regular

00:47:50.360 basis, to do

00:47:51.140 something for

00:47:51.660 you.

00:47:52.920 Yeah, can I

00:47:53.680 help you?

00:47:54.040 Can I give you

00:47:54.440 some advice?

00:47:55.160 Can I give you

00:47:55.560 a micro lesson?

00:47:56.820 Can I give you

00:47:57.340 some context?

00:47:58.020 Can I teach

00:47:58.840 you how to

00:47:59.100 look at the

00:47:59.440 news in a

00:48:00.120 more productive

00:48:00.620 way?

00:48:01.340 But this is

00:48:01.940 something I

00:48:02.340 can do.

00:48:03.420 So if you

00:48:04.020 can help me,

00:48:04.660 we'll just go

00:48:05.320 do this and

00:48:06.260 just change

00:48:06.660 it.

00:48:08.120 All right.

00:48:08.400 So the U.S.

00:48:13.660 Postal Service

00:48:14.520 decided Muslims

00:48:15.380 should have a

00:48:15.980 prayer room in

00:48:16.920 the facility.

00:48:19.380 Yeah, I don't

00:48:19.940 care.

00:48:20.980 I don't care.

00:48:23.300 Is that a

00:48:23.920 problem?

00:48:26.000 Like, who cares

00:48:26.760 if somebody has a

00:48:27.420 prayer room?

00:48:28.360 Like, I get,

00:48:29.280 oh, okay, you

00:48:30.720 know, then you

00:48:31.080 need a prayer room

00:48:31.900 for everybody.

00:48:33.220 But, you

00:48:33.660 know, sometimes

00:48:34.380 one group

00:48:35.100 wants something

00:48:36.800 more strongly.

00:48:38.040 I don't know.

00:48:38.860 That just doesn't

00:48:39.520 seem like the

00:48:40.000 biggest problem

00:48:40.540 in the world.

00:48:42.160 Yeah, you

00:48:42.600 don't have to

00:48:43.000 like it, but it's

00:48:43.640 not like a big

00:48:44.160 problem if they

00:48:45.260 had the room.

00:48:46.280 You know, if

00:48:46.720 they close down

00:48:49.040 their mainframes

00:48:49.800 and shut down

00:48:51.280 the business so

00:48:51.980 that this room

00:48:52.560 could be available,

00:48:53.540 but if it's just

00:48:54.340 a room and

00:48:55.860 maybe it wasn't

00:48:56.460 being used for

00:48:57.020 anything else

00:48:57.480 during those

00:48:58.000 times, it's just

00:48:59.700 people in a

00:49:00.220 room.

00:49:01.160 Let them do

00:49:01.600 whatever the hell

00:49:02.080 they want if

00:49:03.180 they're not

00:49:03.540 working.

00:49:06.800 You are getting

00:49:07.560 paid to pray.

00:49:08.280 I don't believe

00:49:08.840 they're being asked

00:49:09.640 to be paid to

00:49:10.700 pray.

00:49:11.500 I believe they

00:49:12.340 are being asked

00:49:12.880 for just a

00:49:13.440 space.

00:49:15.280 Would it matter

00:49:16.100 to you that it's

00:49:16.720 praying?

00:49:18.120 Suppose a number

00:49:18.920 of employees came

00:49:19.840 to you and said

00:49:20.420 we'd like to do

00:49:21.200 yoga on our

00:49:22.020 time, like on

00:49:22.840 our breaks.

00:49:24.200 If the post

00:49:25.040 office said,

00:49:25.600 yeah, we've got

00:49:26.060 this room,

00:49:27.020 there are so many

00:49:28.080 people who want

00:49:28.620 to do yoga on

00:49:29.360 their break,

00:49:30.040 go ahead, do

00:49:30.920 yoga.

00:49:32.020 Would you be

00:49:32.720 saying, fuck

00:49:33.720 those people

00:49:34.300 doing yoga on

00:49:36.460 my dime?

00:49:37.420 No, they're

00:49:37.880 doing it on

00:49:38.320 their break,

00:49:39.640 and it's just

00:49:40.100 yoga.

00:49:40.820 Get over it.

00:49:41.780 If somebody

00:49:42.220 wants to pray

00:49:42.880 or do yoga

00:49:43.560 or meditate

00:49:44.840 or chant

00:49:45.760 on their own

00:49:46.920 time, yeah,

00:49:48.420 I've got an

00:49:48.880 extra room,

00:49:49.420 you can do it

00:49:49.800 in my room.

00:49:53.440 So, yeah,

00:49:55.220 it's probably

00:49:55.480 during breaks.

00:49:56.960 If the story

00:49:57.840 had been

00:49:59.540 about they

00:50:00.660 want to pray

00:50:01.260 instead of

00:50:01.780 work, I

00:50:02.880 think that's

00:50:03.280 what the

00:50:03.540 headline would

00:50:03.980 have done.

00:50:07.420 CNN had

00:50:08.340 a headline

00:50:09.540 that was

00:50:10.280 making me

00:50:11.000 crazy today

00:50:11.760 that I wrote

00:50:12.340 down on my

00:50:13.100 computer that

00:50:13.840 stopped.

00:50:16.060 And the

00:50:16.740 only way that

00:50:17.360 I could check

00:50:17.920 that is by

00:50:20.840 temporarily

00:50:21.460 closing down

00:50:22.300 my YouTube

00:50:23.340 feed and using

00:50:24.180 that.

00:50:24.520 or I

00:50:25.460 could get

00:50:25.720 my charger

00:50:27.480 and charge

00:50:27.980 it back

00:50:28.260 up.

00:50:30.880 All right.

00:50:33.940 I think

00:50:34.500 it was about

00:50:34.840 monkeypox.

00:50:39.700 Scheduled

00:50:40.140 time for

00:50:40.620 prayer?

00:50:41.820 Well, if

00:50:42.260 they use that

00:50:42.800 as their

00:50:43.120 break, then

00:50:43.760 that's fine.

00:50:47.460 Do you

00:50:48.000 need a room

00:50:48.440 for every

00:50:48.860 religion?

00:50:49.500 You know,

00:50:50.060 that's the

00:50:50.720 obvious question.

00:50:52.520 Well, I

00:50:53.060 think big

00:50:53.460 companies can

00:50:54.120 deal with

00:50:54.700 larger groups

00:50:55.720 differently than

00:50:56.380 smaller groups.

00:50:57.300 I don't have

00:50:57.740 a problem

00:50:58.020 with that.

00:50:58.880 You know, if

00:50:59.320 they had a

00:51:00.320 hundred Muslims

00:51:01.060 who wanted

00:51:01.540 their own

00:51:01.960 room, but

00:51:03.520 two people

00:51:04.720 said, hey,

00:51:05.620 where's my

00:51:06.360 Jewish prayer

00:51:08.540 room or

00:51:08.940 something, I

00:51:09.940 don't think the

00:51:10.400 post office needs

00:51:11.160 to give a room

00:51:11.640 for the two

00:51:12.040 people.

00:51:13.620 I think

00:51:14.000 giving room

00:51:14.620 for the

00:51:14.840 hundred people

00:51:15.360 makes sense

00:51:15.900 just from a

00:51:16.620 business

00:51:16.920 perspective.

00:51:18.400 Giving it

00:51:19.000 to two maybe

00:51:19.860 doesn't make

00:51:20.640 sense.

00:51:21.660 Yeah.

00:51:26.380 Now, I

00:51:29.400 would like to

00:51:30.020 offer one

00:51:31.080 suggestion to

00:51:31.780 get past the

00:51:32.620 monkey box.

00:51:34.500 Are you ready

00:51:35.280 for this?

00:51:38.200 As you

00:51:38.900 know, it

00:51:39.280 seems to be

00:51:40.460 transmitted

00:51:40.960 primarily from

00:51:43.500 people with

00:51:44.340 penises to

00:51:44.980 people with

00:51:45.400 penises who

00:51:46.160 have sex.

00:51:47.300 I'm not a

00:51:48.140 bigot like

00:51:48.740 Jake Tapper

00:51:49.560 who says

00:51:50.020 men-to-men

00:51:50.680 sex.

00:51:51.660 Very

00:51:52.240 exclusionary

00:51:53.080 of the

00:51:53.480 people who

00:51:55.080 are lesbians

00:51:55.900 but both of

00:51:57.060 them were

00:51:57.300 born with

00:51:57.700 penises

00:51:58.060 because they

00:51:59.620 have the

00:51:59.840 same risk.

00:52:02.680 Here's how

00:52:03.500 we could

00:52:04.140 get past

00:52:04.840 it.

00:52:07.040 If you,

00:52:07.880 if the,

00:52:08.800 primarily,

00:52:10.100 if the people

00:52:11.200 with penises

00:52:11.740 having sex

00:52:12.340 with people

00:52:12.720 with penises,

00:52:13.220 if they

00:52:14.260 could just

00:52:14.760 maybe lay

00:52:16.460 off for a

00:52:16.980 few weeks

00:52:17.480 and do

00:52:19.280 something else

00:52:19.980 because apparently

00:52:21.100 other sexual

00:52:22.760 acts are much

00:52:23.640 less likely

00:52:24.580 to cause a

00:52:25.260 problem.

00:52:26.340 It seems to

00:52:26.880 be the,

00:52:27.640 it's the

00:52:28.560 butt sex.

00:52:29.400 It's the butt

00:52:30.060 sex that seems

00:52:30.760 to be the

00:52:31.120 problem.

00:52:31.360 I'm right,

00:52:31.700 right?

00:52:32.380 Medically

00:52:32.840 speaking,

00:52:33.400 it's the

00:52:33.940 butt sex.

00:52:34.460 So,

00:52:36.120 what we

00:52:36.620 need is

00:52:36.980 just a

00:52:37.360 few weeks

00:52:38.180 with a,

00:52:40.800 like,

00:52:41.180 let's slow

00:52:41.580 down the

00:52:41.920 butt sex.

00:52:43.180 And we

00:52:43.740 need some

00:52:44.040 kind of a

00:52:44.400 slogan,

00:52:45.660 you know,

00:52:46.100 do something

00:52:46.760 besides butt

00:52:47.600 sex for

00:52:48.700 two weeks.

00:52:49.260 What would

00:52:49.680 be a good

00:52:50.800 slogan?

00:52:52.080 Something

00:52:52.520 besides anal

00:52:53.380 sex for

00:52:53.900 two weeks.

00:52:56.380 How about

00:52:57.200 two weeks

00:52:58.280 to blow

00:52:58.800 the curve?

00:53:01.580 Anybody?

00:53:03.000 Two weeks

00:53:03.480 to blow

00:53:03.840 the curve?

00:53:05.260 No?

00:53:08.240 Okay,

00:53:08.760 I think

00:53:08.980 that's pretty

00:53:09.300 good.

00:53:13.640 All right.

00:53:20.120 Your doctor

00:53:20.820 says oral

00:53:21.440 monkeypox is

00:53:22.260 a thing.

00:53:22.680 Yes,

00:53:23.180 it is a

00:53:23.720 thing.

00:53:25.100 It is a

00:53:25.860 thing.

00:53:26.380 So,

00:53:26.720 don't let me

00:53:27.340 mislead you

00:53:27.960 into thinking

00:53:28.440 that oral

00:53:29.540 sex with

00:53:30.120 somebody who

00:53:30.580 has monkey

00:53:31.040 pox is

00:53:31.560 going to

00:53:31.800 be okay.

00:53:33.100 If I can

00:53:33.860 give you

00:53:34.180 any medical

00:53:34.760 advice without

00:53:35.420 a medical

00:53:35.940 degree,

00:53:36.960 I feel

00:53:37.580 this would

00:53:37.940 be the

00:53:38.220 time.

00:53:39.440 I'm going

00:53:39.960 to say

00:53:40.180 this with

00:53:40.620 my great

00:53:41.260 medical

00:53:41.960 confidence.

00:53:43.460 If somebody

00:53:44.220 has monkey

00:53:44.740 pox,

00:53:46.100 maybe stay

00:53:47.020 away for a

00:53:47.420 while.

00:53:48.200 That's all.

00:53:48.580 All right,

00:53:56.680 I'm looking at

00:53:57.060 your jokes,

00:53:57.580 but I

00:53:57.780 can't

00:53:57.960 repeat

00:53:58.200 them.

00:53:59.800 Stop

00:54:00.220 now while

00:54:00.640 you're

00:54:00.800 ahead.

00:54:03.060 Hands-on

00:54:03.700 solution.

00:54:04.120 let's

00:54:08.020 see.

00:54:12.960 Something

00:54:13.440 about,

00:54:14.520 yeah,

00:54:15.020 I like

00:54:15.480 where you're

00:54:15.760 going with

00:54:16.100 this,

00:54:16.340 but let's

00:54:16.720 see if we

00:54:17.040 can form a

00:54:17.640 better joke

00:54:18.240 on the fly.

00:54:20.180 All right,

00:54:20.460 something with

00:54:21.120 hands,

00:54:22.320 because that's

00:54:22.760 got to be the

00:54:23.200 safest,

00:54:23.660 right?

00:54:25.200 Something with

00:54:25.840 hands.

00:54:26.440 Let me

00:54:34.000 ask you

00:54:34.320 this.

00:54:35.540 Have we

00:54:36.020 ever had

00:54:36.840 a global

00:54:39.340 disaster that

00:54:41.560 could be

00:54:41.900 fixed by

00:54:42.460 jerking off?

00:54:45.420 Because I

00:54:47.040 don't know

00:54:47.440 about you,

00:54:49.080 but remember

00:54:50.100 when the

00:54:50.480 pandemic

00:54:50.820 happened and

00:54:51.780 the government

00:54:53.480 said,

00:54:54.240 all right,

00:54:54.660 we can get

00:54:55.120 past this,

00:54:55.900 but here's

00:54:56.300 what you're

00:54:56.620 going to

00:54:56.780 need to

00:54:57.060 do.

00:54:57.920 You're

00:54:58.280 going to

00:54:58.360 have to

00:54:58.660 lock

00:54:58.960 yourself

00:54:59.320 in

00:54:59.580 solitary

00:55:00.000 confinement.

00:55:01.120 You're

00:55:01.480 going to

00:55:01.560 have to

00:55:01.800 wear a

00:55:02.280 diaper on

00:55:02.760 your face

00:55:03.200 whenever you

00:55:03.680 go outside.

00:55:04.600 You're

00:55:04.960 not going

00:55:05.280 to be able

00:55:05.480 to travel,

00:55:06.200 and we're

00:55:06.460 going to

00:55:06.620 give you

00:55:07.140 shots that

00:55:09.180 we wish

00:55:10.040 we had

00:55:10.280 more time

00:55:10.720 to test

00:55:11.180 them,

00:55:11.520 but we

00:55:12.260 didn't.

00:55:13.740 So that's

00:55:14.100 what you're

00:55:14.400 going to

00:55:14.500 do.

00:55:14.860 So that's

00:55:15.180 how you

00:55:15.720 get past

00:55:16.120 the pandemic.

00:55:16.980 Pretty

00:55:17.220 hard,

00:55:17.600 right?

00:55:18.540 Like supply

00:55:19.180 chain,

00:55:19.920 problems,

00:55:20.940 all kinds

00:55:21.460 of problems.

00:55:22.780 But now

00:55:23.200 let's go

00:55:23.560 to monkey

00:55:23.880 pox.

00:55:25.220 How could

00:55:26.080 you possibly

00:55:26.820 solve monkey

00:55:27.980 pox?

00:55:29.040 You could

00:55:29.940 jerk off

00:55:30.820 for two

00:55:32.600 weeks.

00:55:36.100 I'm not

00:55:36.880 joking,

00:55:37.580 am I?

00:55:38.740 If every

00:55:39.680 man just

00:55:41.320 said,

00:55:42.480 I'll tell

00:55:43.280 you what,

00:55:43.980 for two

00:55:44.480 weeks,

00:55:44.860 I would

00:55:45.180 just jerk

00:55:45.700 off.

00:55:47.120 Two weeks

00:55:47.900 to spank

00:55:49.260 the monkey?

00:55:50.540 I got it.

00:55:51.960 Spank the

00:55:52.460 monkey pox.

00:55:54.560 We're

00:55:55.040 done.

00:55:56.000 Spank

00:55:56.280 the monkey

00:55:56.620 pox.

00:55:57.860 Spank

00:55:58.340 the monkey.

00:56:02.080 If you

00:56:02.760 just jerk

00:56:03.440 off for

00:56:04.080 a month,

00:56:05.360 this

00:56:05.620 pandemic's

00:56:06.260 over.

00:56:06.640 Two weeks

00:56:07.300 to probably

00:56:07.580 get it

00:56:07.860 done.

00:56:09.300 Two weeks

00:56:10.040 to spank

00:56:11.220 the monkey

00:56:11.660 to beat

00:56:12.360 the pox.

00:56:14.680 But honestly,

00:56:15.840 have we

00:56:16.280 ever had

00:56:16.880 a national

00:56:17.420 problem that

00:56:18.000 could be

00:56:18.420 defeated

00:56:18.860 entirely by

00:56:19.660 jerking

00:56:20.000 off?

00:56:21.500 Can you

00:56:21.940 think of

00:56:22.260 any other

00:56:22.840 problem that

00:56:23.680 was this

00:56:24.060 easy to

00:56:24.520 solve?

00:56:25.420 What will

00:56:26.100 we do?

00:56:27.520 We better

00:56:28.480 ask the

00:56:29.000 AI,

00:56:30.140 monkey pox

00:56:32.980 sweeping the

00:56:33.800 nation.

00:56:34.760 What shall

00:56:35.360 we do?

00:56:38.000 This is

00:56:38.560 going to be

00:56:38.800 my impression

00:56:40.700 of AI.

00:56:42.240 Now,

00:56:42.720 AI doesn't

00:56:44.840 look exactly

00:56:45.640 like people

00:56:46.180 yet, so I

00:56:47.300 have to give

00:56:47.720 this expression

00:56:48.420 that gives

00:56:48.780 you that

00:56:49.120 uncanny

00:56:49.660 valley,

00:56:50.660 you know,

00:56:50.960 where it

00:56:51.180 looks like

00:56:51.480 a person

00:56:51.860 but not.

00:56:52.880 So I'm

00:56:53.220 going to

00:56:53.360 do my

00:56:53.660 impression

00:56:54.000 of AI

00:56:54.440 that's

00:56:55.220 almost

00:56:55.800 like a

00:56:56.340 person

00:56:56.620 but not.

00:56:59.160 What was

00:56:59.820 the question?

00:57:01.800 Oh,

00:57:02.680 how to

00:57:03.220 solve the

00:57:03.860 monkey pox

00:57:04.480 problem?

00:57:09.060 Try

00:57:09.540 jerking off

00:57:10.160 for two

00:57:10.460 weeks.

00:57:10.740 Will that

00:57:13.600 work,

00:57:13.960 AI?

00:57:14.740 Uh-huh.

00:57:15.900 How often?

00:57:16.980 Every time.

00:57:18.120 Every time.

00:57:19.740 Two weeks

00:57:20.280 to spank

00:57:20.960 the monkey.

00:57:21.740 Problem

00:57:22.020 solved.

00:57:25.800 How about

00:57:26.600 can we

00:57:27.460 make it

00:57:27.800 rhyme?

00:57:29.220 You know,

00:57:29.500 it's more

00:57:29.760 effective if

00:57:30.360 it rhymes.

00:57:33.960 Spank

00:57:34.480 your cox

00:57:35.040 to beat

00:57:35.400 the monkey

00:57:35.780 pox.

00:57:38.480 How about

00:57:39.200 holster your

00:57:39.900 cox?

00:57:41.340 to stop

00:57:42.380 the pox?

00:57:47.980 How about

00:57:48.660 pull your

00:57:51.500 cox

00:57:51.920 to stop

00:57:53.080 the pox?

00:57:55.020 Right?

00:57:57.060 Maybe

00:57:57.500 somebody says

00:57:59.640 maybe just

00:58:00.400 have sex

00:58:00.840 with women.

00:58:01.820 No,

00:58:02.500 that's not

00:58:03.000 a solution.

00:58:04.760 No.

00:58:06.320 No,

00:58:06.640 stop it.

00:58:07.180 That's not

00:58:07.500 a solution.

00:58:08.620 And beat

01:00:14.980 Alright,

01:00:15.600 I will post

01:00:16.200 on Twitter

01:00:16.640 the following

01:00:17.280 joke.

01:00:18.640 That we

01:00:19.160 need more

01:00:20.300 pandemics that

01:00:21.180 could be

01:00:21.640 completely solved

01:00:22.580 by jerking

01:00:23.120 off.

01:00:23.960 By staying

01:00:24.800 home and

01:00:25.120 watching porn

01:00:25.720 and jerking

01:00:26.220 off.

01:00:26.900 But your

01:00:27.240 doctor won't

01:00:27.740 tell you to

01:00:28.160 do it.

01:00:31.060 I need

01:00:33.320 a doctor

01:00:33.840 who's brave

01:00:34.440 enough to

01:00:34.860 say,

01:00:35.400 I just

01:00:36.120 need two

01:00:36.560 weeks.

01:00:37.780 If you

01:00:38.220 don't know

01:00:38.560 where Porn

01:00:39.020 Hub is,

01:00:40.400 let me

01:00:40.740 give you

01:00:41.000 the address.

01:00:42.740 It's

01:00:42.940 pornhub.com.

01:00:47.140 I mean,

01:00:48.140 is anybody

01:00:48.820 laughing as

01:00:49.440 hard as I

01:00:49.860 am that

01:00:50.320 we act like

01:00:51.260 we have a

01:00:51.680 national problem

01:00:52.480 that literally

01:00:53.760 can be solved

01:00:54.420 by jerking

01:00:54.960 off?

01:00:56.040 Now,

01:00:56.340 correct me

01:00:56.700 if I'm

01:00:56.960 wrong,

01:00:58.000 but AIDS

01:00:58.800 is not like

01:00:59.460 that,

01:00:59.740 right?

01:00:59.940 If you

01:01:00.960 got AIDS,

01:01:01.480 you got

01:01:01.740 AIDS,

01:01:02.400 back in

01:01:02.840 the old

01:01:03.060 days,

01:01:03.420 before the

01:01:03.880 therapeutics.

01:01:05.280 But if

01:01:06.660 you have

01:01:06.880 AIDS,

01:01:07.220 you just

01:01:07.460 can't have

01:01:07.820 sex,

01:01:09.040 you know,

01:01:10.080 really in

01:01:10.540 a reasonable

01:01:11.200 safe way

01:01:11.980 for a long

01:01:12.380 time,

01:01:13.040 like forever,

01:01:14.060 unless you've

01:01:15.300 got a special

01:01:15.820 situation.

01:01:17.760 But monkey

01:01:18.440 pox,

01:01:18.820 you can just

01:01:19.300 jerk off for

01:01:19.900 two weeks

01:01:20.320 and it's

01:01:20.600 all gone,

01:01:21.120 isn't it?

01:01:22.180 Correct me

01:01:22.660 if I'm

01:01:22.900 wrong.

01:01:26.600 Guess

01:01:27.000 what I have

01:01:27.400 in my

01:01:27.640 hand and

01:01:28.020 you can

01:01:28.240 have it.

01:01:29.940 I don't

01:01:30.340 think I'm

01:01:30.680 going to

01:01:30.860 guess.

01:01:34.040 Have

01:01:34.240 horn,

01:01:34.600 if

01:01:36.160 Pornhub,

01:01:37.660 oh god,

01:01:38.520 this is

01:01:38.800 funny,

01:01:39.760 suggestion to

01:01:40.700 Pornhub from

01:01:41.500 the locals

01:01:42.200 community,

01:01:43.500 somebody on

01:01:44.160 locals suggested

01:01:44.920 Pornhub should

01:01:45.840 run a free

01:01:46.560 special for

01:01:47.160 two weeks,

01:01:48.220 like all

01:01:48.720 the gay

01:01:49.380 porn on

01:01:49.940 Pornhub would

01:01:50.800 be free for

01:01:51.440 two weeks

01:01:52.000 to end the

01:01:53.220 monkeypox

01:01:53.780 pandemic.

01:01:54.280 that would

01:01:56.060 actually

01:01:56.560 work.

01:01:57.760 Wouldn't

01:01:58.080 it?

01:01:59.640 Can

01:01:59.940 some

01:02:00.200 doctor tell

01:02:00.840 me,

01:02:01.200 am I

01:02:01.500 crazy?

01:02:02.420 And maybe

01:02:02.800 it's not

01:02:03.120 two weeks,

01:02:03.660 right?

01:02:03.900 It might

01:02:04.140 be longer

01:02:04.460 than two

01:02:04.800 weeks.

01:02:05.400 But if

01:02:06.480 everybody in

01:02:06.980 the United

01:02:07.260 States just

01:02:07.940 watched

01:02:08.780 Pornhub for

01:02:09.360 two weeks,

01:02:10.500 I feel like

01:02:12.140 we'd be in a

01:02:12.560 lot better

01:02:12.940 shape.

01:02:15.100 I don't

01:02:15.640 think the

01:02:16.040 pox stays

01:02:16.580 with you once

01:02:17.080 infected,

01:02:17.580 does it?

01:02:18.060 I think you'd

01:02:18.600 get over it.

01:02:19.020 That's my

01:02:21.000 understanding.

01:02:25.360 You do,

01:02:26.060 right?

01:02:26.260 You get over

01:02:26.680 it, yeah.

01:02:28.560 All right,

01:02:29.180 well, I

01:02:29.560 think we've

01:02:30.060 completely

01:02:30.840 debased this

01:02:32.780 conversation to

01:02:33.720 a place where

01:02:34.400 it needs to

01:02:34.780 be.

01:02:35.760 And on that

01:02:36.460 note, I'm

01:02:37.180 going to go

01:02:37.380 do something

01:02:37.780 else after I

01:02:39.680 do a really

01:02:40.560 funny tweet.

01:02:42.560 And thanks

01:02:43.120 for joining

01:02:43.480 YouTube and

01:02:44.800 Spotify.

01:02:45.600 I'll talk to

01:02:46.300 you tomorrow.

01:02:49.020 We'll
