00:00:00.000
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization.
00:00:08.260
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and there's never been a better time to be alive.
00:00:14.280
There are times to be dead, probably, probably good times to be dead, but this is the best
00:00:19.120
time to be alive, and that's what I'm dealing with, just that domain right now.
00:00:23.340
Dead people, they can watch their own entertainment.
00:00:28.120
And if you'd like to take this living experience up to levels that could only be reached by
00:00:35.320
a Chinese spy balloon, well, you're going to need something to make that happen.
00:00:41.080
What you're going to need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,
00:00:45.880
a canteen joke or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:49.420
Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.
00:00:52.800
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that
00:01:10.000
Has anybody noticed anything in the news about me lately?
00:01:24.960
Well, let's begin with, oh, no, my enemies are sending me lots of energy.
00:01:46.060
It seems that the hate for me at the moment has reached new levels, new levels of hate.
00:02:20.660
Well, let's talk about the news and we'll get to why I might be trending.
00:02:26.740
Yeah, I'm going to make you wait, because I know some of you bastards came in here just
00:02:37.660
But for the people who are the regulars, I know you'll stick around.
00:02:43.100
But for those of you who are only coming in to hate on me, and maybe, like, get another
00:02:47.340
article to write, you bastards are going to have to wait.
00:02:51.160
You're going to have to wait through all the other excellent entertainment to get to that
00:02:59.160
Well, as I often like to tell you, if I were the author of this reality, which I believe
00:03:07.120
is a simulation, I would give people funny names just so they could figure out they were
00:03:14.600
For example, if somebody worked as a baker, I would name them Baker.
00:03:19.860
If somebody worked as a dentist, I would name them Dr. Chu.
00:03:29.660
And I noticed that there's an accused murderer in the news.
00:03:45.680
Which is weird, because he's accused of murdering his wife and son, and not his daughter.
00:03:53.560
It would have been a little bit more on the nose if he'd murdered a daughter, because then
00:04:13.360
If I had somebody who did something in the monetary domain that burned everybody, it
00:04:28.120
I saw some fake news on Fox News, Fox News website.
00:04:34.420
This is in the category of headlines that don't match the story.
00:04:39.660
Now, this is not, of course, limited to Fox News.
00:04:50.720
And I always wonder, is the headline writer just the provocative one?
00:04:58.160
Or do they not have time to read the article before they post it and come up with it?
00:05:04.960
Because it looks like maybe they didn't read the article.
00:05:10.880
So I don't know what the internal processing is.
00:05:16.600
Popular AI bot forced to admit Democrats' talking point doesn't add up.
00:05:30.600
So popular AI bot forced to admit Democrats' talking point.
00:05:39.480
I'll find out that it admits that their talking points don't add up?
00:05:43.680
No, they totally add up, according to the story.
00:05:49.860
But the story goes that junk science founder, that's an organization.
00:05:55.460
I guess it's either an organization or it's just one guy.
00:06:03.980
so he published a lengthy exchange in which he was talking to the chat GPT
00:06:12.420
Now, the AI started out by saying, no, it's not a hoax.
00:06:18.140
It's a proven thing that CO2 raises the temperature.
00:06:31.160
pretty much all the scientists agree that warm,
00:06:35.200
what do they call it, the greenhouse effect is a thing.
00:06:40.800
So it doesn't mean that if the greenhouse effect is agreed upon,
00:06:46.380
that you can therefore predict good or bad that will happen in the future.
00:06:51.580
But scientists generally agree that that's true.
00:06:59.360
And Steve pushes it on the fact that the theory is that the more CO2,
00:07:10.440
But the, since the theory is that the more CO2 you add,
00:07:16.160
how does the AI explain that for the past five years,
00:07:20.020
it hasn't gotten warmer while a record amount of CO2 has been pumped into the atmosphere.
00:07:50.360
Apparently, it would be normal and allowed to have a five-year period
00:07:54.440
where things didn't quite go in lockstep in one direction.
00:08:09.180
you know, admit that more CO2 is going in the air
00:08:12.360
at the same time that the temperature is not going up.
00:08:22.140
So it says that any five-year period doesn't mean anything.
00:08:28.100
this five-year period is opposed to the theory,
00:08:34.420
the theory allows that any five-year period doesn't mean anything.
00:08:44.320
was forced to admit Democrats' talking point doesn't add up.
00:09:54.980
that I thought she was going to have an orgasm.
00:10:06.220
there's something I want you to watch for in particular.
00:10:10.500
that's sitting in the chair up on the stage next to her.
00:10:13.820
And as she goes into her Venn diagram craziness,
00:10:22.120
And I don't know if I'm reading her body language right,
00:10:32.280
Like, it feels like that's why you scratch your nose.
00:12:23.140
It tells you something about the state of news,
00:12:35.980
But it's a weird thing that something as big as a war,
00:12:52.360
on whether the war is going one way or the other.
00:13:56.920
Now, both of them have that same flavor to them.
00:15:10.180
You know, that'd be a First Amendment problem, right?
00:15:16.300
actually causes you to go cause a crime or something.
00:15:45.720
Asian Americans beating up black men all day long,
00:15:56.160
if they're beating up black people all day long.
00:16:13.800
So, since I don't think we want to ban any speech,
00:16:35.560
Now, I'm not saying I want to see anybody get beaten up.
00:17:12.140
and then we don't feel like we're being brainwashed
