In this episode of the show, Scott Adams talks about a new kind of coffee, why the U.S. murders are more difficult to solve than other countries, and why it s a good idea to kill someone if you can get away with it.
00:02:34.040According to Victor David Hanson, whose article is being rerun in the post-millennial, guess what percentage of murders go unsolved in the United States?
00:03:13.400Now, I do not recommend that you murder anyone.
00:03:19.360But if you have to, I would do it in the United States because it looks like a pretty good deal.
00:03:25.540Now, why in the world do you think that U.S. murders are less solved?
00:03:31.520I have a hypothesis, and it's just a guess.
00:03:36.820But it might have to do with the fact that there's more gun-related murder.
00:03:43.140Because if you murder somebody with a gun and nobody sees you and, you know, they don't find a gun, you probably get away with it, right?
00:03:56.420But if you had a society where there weren't that many guns and you had to beat somebody to death personally or stab somebody or strangle them, you're probably going to leave some DNA on something, right?
00:04:13.120So, it makes me wonder if the gun culture is the reason that there are fewer unsolved crimes, especially if you're doing a, you know, like a gang drive-by shooting, you know.
00:04:43.600It's just that your odds of getting away with it are not too bad, 58%.
00:04:48.960So, Mark Zuckerberg and Meta, they just poached another AI expert.
00:04:57.860But this one they poached from Apple's AI department.
00:05:03.240So, how would you like to be an AI expert, but you're working for Apple?
00:05:09.560I'm not even sure Apple is building its own AI.
00:05:15.020Isn't Apple just looking at other people's AI and figuring out which one to build into its phone?
00:05:20.440So, if you were the Apple AI guy, you probably really, really, really wanted somebody to make a better offer.
00:05:30.320You know, you heard about all those people getting poached who might be getting something like tens of millions of dollars, you know, just for moving to another AI company.
00:05:40.800I've got a feeling that the Apple AI researcher, maybe he paid them.
00:05:47.480It's like, look, I know you're giving $100 million to some people who are going to Meta for AI, but I really, really need to get out of Apple's AI group because it's embarrassing.
00:05:59.660So, I will give you $500,000 if you will hire me away from me.
00:06:19.100But it went down 8% because, of course, Elon Musk getting political scares people off the stock.
00:06:29.520And I'll tell you, it's getting harder and harder to be a Tesla stockholder, which I am, because you just look at it and you say, you know, I do respect, you know, the effort, the energy you're putting into trying to save the world and save the country from deficits.
00:06:53.920But wouldn't it be great, too, if my stock went up?
00:07:01.680So, I've got, it's not for sea turtles.
00:08:26.220If the client list doesn't exist, then obviously you'll never see it.
00:08:32.860Everybody agrees with that part, right?
00:08:34.680If it doesn't exist, you're never going to see it.
00:08:38.180But if it does exist, it would be too valuable to give away, meaning that whoever had that list would have blackmail control over some of the most powerful people in the world.
