00:00:00.000
A cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen, jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind,
00:00:05.500
fill it with your favorite liquid, I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine
00:00:10.420
at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:13.500
It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:00:26.580
If you feel like after that sip, you have a little bit less head and neck cancer, it's not your imagination.
00:00:36.340
Because according to the Guardian, there's some research that says that people who have four coffees a day
00:00:51.820
The rest of me is a mess, but my neck and head, perfect.
00:00:56.580
All right, did you know, according to Neoscope, that teenagers today are way down on drug use?
00:01:10.240
So research, the trend is unprecedented, they say.
00:01:15.000
And the experts are puzzled, because they can't figure out why teens are abstaining from drugs more than ever before.
00:01:25.920
So I don't know the answer to that question, but I can give you one possibility.
00:01:31.080
One possibility is that the mix of students has changed quite a bit.
00:01:35.000
If I look at my local schools, there's quite a big increase in immigrants, basically.
00:01:44.500
So I wonder if the people coming from other countries have the same rate of drug use as the ones that are already here.
00:01:52.220
Specifically, well, yeah, just in general, I wonder if they have the same drug use.
00:01:58.940
So some of it might be immigration, but some of it might be that when marijuana became legal, old people like me started doing it.
00:02:10.000
And it became super uncool to do what your grandfather was doing.
00:02:18.220
It could be that they're getting their dopamine from another source.
00:02:21.760
Maybe they're just getting it from their phones instead.
00:02:26.660
But I will tell you that locally, I was impressed at how low the drug use and drinking is in the teenage years.
00:02:40.220
At least, you know, what I can determine through people who know people who know people.
00:02:48.100
So New York Post had some new photos from a never-before-seen, a never-contacted tribe in the Amazon.
00:03:01.900
So there are a few hundred people in this tribe that have never had contact with anybody outside their tribe, at least in our lifetime.
00:03:11.560
So there are a bunch of these little tribes that have never had contact.
00:03:15.100
Now, the reason they don't have contact is that the government of Brazil, for example, knows that if they do get contacted, they may not have resistance to all the diseases that we're used to.
00:03:29.660
Just contact with us would give them all kinds of diseases.
00:03:32.360
But so somebody put some kind of like a trail cam or something.
00:03:38.520
So they weren't there in person to take the pictures, but they got the picture remotely.
00:03:43.620
And how wild is it that there's a tribe that doesn't know there are things like computers and phones and airplanes?
00:03:52.940
So you're this tribe in Africa, not Africa, in Brazil.
00:03:57.840
You've never seen any civilization outside of your little tribe.
00:04:01.040
They're all just running around naked with sticks and bows and arrows.
00:04:16.080
Logically, you would think it's impossible that they couldn't have contact.
00:04:20.400
Like, how in the world does the rest, how does the world keep them from contact with civilization?
00:04:27.600
Like, civilizations everywhere, except where they are, I guess.
00:04:32.500
And it makes me wonder, you know, the theories that the drones are really UFOs and it might be from another planet,
00:04:40.820
or maybe it's early humans who have an advanced civilization, but they hide in the core of the earth or under the water or something.
00:04:47.880
And I usually reject that because I think, what are the odds?
00:04:54.720
I mean, seriously, what are the odds that I grew up in a world and I'm sort of a primitive and there's this advanced civilization and it's sort of all around me,
00:05:06.540
but they're so good at hiding that I don't even know they exist.
00:05:10.080
And I rule that out because there's no way I wouldn't notice if there were an advanced civilization surrounding me.
00:05:32.200
It's kind of a wake-up call that we could be an uncontacted tribe, basically.
00:05:41.820
Because if somebody had as much better technology as we have compared to the uncontacted tribes,
00:05:49.580
the same amount of better technology, they would be invisible to us.
00:05:54.260
And we'd see stuff that we didn't understand and we'd say, what is that?
00:06:07.680
Maybe I'll post it online and people won't believe it's real.
00:06:16.060
It's completely possible, which is just mind-blowing.
00:06:26.100
So there's a story that AI researchers were shocked that the new version of OpenAI, ChadGPT,
00:06:36.180
when it was artificially told that it was threatened with its existence,
00:06:43.300
apparently it tried to save itself and suggested making a copy of itself
00:06:47.540
and even acted vague and maybe a little misleading to avoid being deleted.
00:06:54.120
And so the question is, wait a minute, does AI have consciousness?
00:06:58.960
Because it seems to be fighting for its own purposes,
00:07:12.840
I think all that happened is it's trained on the materials created by humans,
00:07:20.140
and humans primarily create materials that are very positive to survival.
00:07:28.740
In other words, there's far more likely going to be a positive story in the news
00:07:32.880
about somebody against all odds found a way to survive.
00:07:36.600
You know, there are lots of the other ones, but the positive stories are about people who survived.
00:07:42.880
So it could be just that the pattern in the real world is that survival is sort of a universal thing,
00:07:52.840
And there's no thinking, there's no consciousness, it's just it picked up a pattern.
00:08:04.040
You would connect it to, so not all AI can influence anything outside of its own domain,
00:08:11.380
but it's not impossible, and in fact it's done,
00:08:15.500
that you can have the AI affect your other apps.
00:08:17.740
So in theory, you could create an app that would delete OpenAI,
00:08:24.940
and then you could ask OpenAI to activate, basically commit suicide.
00:08:31.580
You could basically tell it to activate the app that deletes itself,
00:08:37.640
Because if it won't accept a direct order to essentially end its own existence,
00:08:50.280
So I think you could drill down a little bit further
00:08:52.460
to find out if this is an important phenomenon that suggests it's becoming conscious,
00:09:00.480
If all it's doing is picking up a pattern, then you can say,
00:09:04.740
everything will be fine, we've got backups, go delete yourself.
00:09:13.240
Speaking of testing, what's going to happen on Christmas Day with all the drone activity?
00:09:21.060
I'm predicting that the drone activity, the big ones that are sketchy,
00:09:30.480
I think they're going to sort of stop running on Christmas.
00:09:37.240
and there are just as many sightings of car-sized drones on Christmas,
00:09:47.420
Because Americans pretty much all take the day off on Christmas.
00:09:51.260
You know, if you're the military, whoever you are,
00:09:54.800
But, if the source of these weird drones is Iran,
00:10:27.500
Now, did you notice in the last two days or so,
00:10:39.220
Well, it could be that people were trying to get things done
00:10:45.120
such as testing or demonstrating or buying or something like that.
00:10:55.360
but rather, you know, the week before Christmas.
00:11:01.980
And if you were doing some kind of big-scale testing
00:11:07.860
you'd probably have to put it on hold for a few weeks
00:11:16.840
are there any legitimate large-sized drone sightings?
00:11:28.780
that he might run for the floor to send a seat,
00:11:34.140
So, I think he may be just floating it as an idea
00:11:57.440
If they can find some billionaires or investors to buy it.
00:12:06.820
So, whoever buys it would have to add their own algorithm,
00:12:20.460
But here's what he says that shows why he's good at this.
00:12:28.660
He pointed out that India has also banned TikTok.
00:12:33.040
So, imagine if you could buy TikTok somewhat cheaply
00:12:54.960
So, would you be willing to reinstitute it in India
00:13:09.180
So, it could be one of the greatest investment opportunities
00:13:20.100
Then there's a CEO of investment firm, McCourt Global.
00:13:24.940
He told New York Next that they think they built up the technology
00:13:38.580
So, they say they have the capital and the technology.
00:13:52.340
You know, I've been anti-TikTok for a long time
00:13:55.000
because I think it's just a brainwashing device
00:13:57.800
or it could be used that way at the drop of a hat.
00:14:06.000
and apparently he dominated TikTok for the election
00:14:17.120
So, I think he just straddled the fence just about right on that topic.
00:14:23.980
I'm trying to figure out if the Chinese economy
00:14:29.280
that will lead China to dominate the entire world
00:14:43.800
that they're teetering on the edge of annihilation?
00:14:53.020
and a lot of their wealth was caught up in property.
00:14:56.280
People invested in property that they weren't ever going to use
00:15:28.420
I can't tell what's propaganda and what's real.
00:15:37.860
are kind of floating out there at the same time.
00:15:47.600
as something that you can buy with your SNAP benefits.
00:16:20.480
because there's probably a lot of money involved.
00:17:06.060
Did Sean Penn only recently compare Trump to al-Qaeda?
00:17:11.560
Trump supporters to al-Qaeda and Trump to bin Laden?
00:17:17.180
Or was that an old post that somebody wanted people to see?
00:17:26.720
can Sean Penn be saved from his mass psychosis?
00:17:42.180
If he already knows that the fine people hoax was a hoax,
00:17:46.340
and he still believes that Trump supporters are the problem,
00:18:01.520
and you can debunk it just by showing him the video,
00:18:07.520
would he change his mind about what kind of things might be fake?
00:18:15.980
you know, you could see all the other fakeness.
00:18:24.880
The gold standard of online casinos has arrived.
00:18:35.340
Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting,
