Summary
A new kind of AI is being developed, and it s doing things that have never been done before. Scott Adams talks about it, and talks about a bunch of other things, too, including a new invention called the " simultaneous sip" and a guy who can increase oxytocin by hypnosis.

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:07.400
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and aren't you glad you're here?
00:00:10.860
Because today, if you'd like to take your experience up to levels which have never been known to human beings,
00:00:17.660
all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tankard chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:23.960
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:26.580
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:33.940
It's called the simultaneous sip. It goes like this.
00:00:41.920
Ah, I feel that your oxytocin was just activated.
00:00:51.100
I wonder if you could increase somebody's oxytocin by hypnosis.
00:01:07.740
You know, the old way was it would look at words,
00:01:11.740
and it would say, oh, if this combination of words is more common,
00:01:17.800
And so just the combination of words created this AI that we use now.
00:01:21.620
But you might also be aware that Tesla is using a video training thing,
00:01:29.800
so it's training its cars to drive autonomously,
00:01:33.320
by just feeding it a gazillion videos of cars driving.
00:01:40.540
It just shows it, you know, a bazillion miles of driving.
00:01:50.240
But apparently that can be extended to other things.
00:02:10.240
They put the AI there, and they say, watch this.
00:02:22.880
Now, it's only going to know what you cooked in front of it.
00:02:26.840
But it's actually learning tasks by observation.
00:02:31.600
I guess one of the breakthroughs is they gave it a thumb that could feel,
00:02:36.200
So if you've got at least one part of the robot that can feel something,
00:02:41.100
then the feeling, you know, adds to its learning,
00:02:53.480
the first time I read about this was 15 or 20 years ago.
00:03:03.720
that I saw an article that a robot had been trained to fold laundry
00:03:09.600
simply by looking at a lot of people folding laundry, I guess.
00:03:20.580
You just show it how you do it, and it learns it.
00:03:27.940
Like I said, the robots will take all the manual labor jobs,
00:03:32.880
but then AI will take all the intelligence-related jobs.
00:03:37.280
But that still leaves a lot of room for humans.
00:03:42.780
So if you want to get your criminal skills up to date,
00:03:51.420
Well, Don Jr.'s account got hacked on the X-Profile.
00:03:55.260
And somebody had a good time tweeting on his behalf.
00:04:02.420
Let me just tell you some of the things that were tweeted
00:04:17.080
And I'm sorry to announce my father passed away.
00:04:55.980
And, you know, there's a whole bunch of things you can do.
00:05:02.720
and then you can put it on total lockdown mode.
00:06:11.180
Because I use my phone mostly for work-related stuff.
00:06:18.300
It's basically the only thing I do with my phone,
