Dalton Trigg ( ) joins me to talk about the latest in AI, and why he thinks it s a bad idea to use your likeness in a digital world. Plus, why is it that black and white Americans have different income levels?
00:01:12.380Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:01:16.780It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.
00:01:20.760But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains.
00:02:12.160It says that there's a study that shows if you engage in creative skill-based activities, that your biological brain will be six years younger.
00:02:23.220So you should be doing stuff like dancing and music and visual arts or gaming.
00:02:30.920Well, I've been telling you this for a long time.
00:02:33.400This is actually pretty old news, that if you keep your brain flexible, it'll last longer.
00:02:39.480That is why I took up trying to learn the drums a few years ago, because I knew that that would be good for my brain.
00:02:49.060It's also why I have a ping-pong table, because it turns out that racket sports are really good for your brain.
00:02:55.260And I produce creative content every day, which is why I'm so darn young.
00:03:04.820So yes, creativity keeps your brain younger.
00:03:09.820Well, here's the least surprising thing in technology.
00:03:13.040You know, Amazon owns the Ring camera company.
00:03:16.100And now they're going to partner with Flock, which is another outdoor camera company that networks them all together and uses AI.
00:03:26.120So the least surprising thing in the world is that the companies with big security cams will connect together and add AI, and we will be fully, fully surveilled.
00:03:42.820Now, I remind you that when I talk about privacy, most of you say, no, don't take my privacy.
00:03:52.020And others say, well, usually almost all of you say, don't take my privacy.
00:03:56.480I don't say that, but not because I don't want it to go, because it's going.
00:04:03.980There's just no way you can maintain privacy in a world of high tech in the future.
00:04:09.640So I've decided that it's not going to be my fight, because it's unwinnable in the long run.
00:04:18.640Not that I want it to go that way, but it is unwinnable.
00:04:22.640Well, I guess the Martin Luther King family, their estate, talked to OpenAI,
00:04:28.600because they didn't like how AI was allowing people to make images out of Dr. King.
00:04:34.200So OpenAI says they're going to stop doing that, so people won't be able to use King as one of their AI creativity things.
00:04:49.180So I wonder how many other people would be thrown into that category.
00:04:52.320So really what it is, is that authorized representatives or estates can request that the likeness does not be used.
00:07:37.800Doesn't it feel like it's missing all kinds of context?
00:07:42.680I guess it's good that we ran a surplus instead of a deficit, but I'm not really even sure what that means.
00:07:51.320I need more details, but it sounds good.
00:07:54.060There's a study that shows that, according to user Dexerto, there's a study that shows that AI chatbots will give you better research if you're rude to them.
00:10:10.340My experience is that it's almost always hours.
00:10:13.960I've got one that's been cooking since yesterday.
00:10:17.040Now, as an artist of sorts, I guess I'm sort of an artist.
00:10:22.500If I were going to create a little video that I wanted to be viral or I wanted it to be a scene of a movie from one of my books or something like that,
00:10:30.720how many times do you think I would want to tweak each little video to get it just the way I wanted?
00:10:37.480How many adjustments do you think I'd have to make?
00:11:30.900As far as I can tell, the only thing it's useful for is that somebody will put in one sentence, and it'll produce something that they didn't imagine exactly, but the AI created something that they wanted to display.
00:11:45.620So you get this misleading impression that somebody used Sora 2 to make something that they wanted to make.
00:11:56.140What they did was they initiated it, but if you want to close the gap between what the user wants it to make and what it wants to make on its own, I don't think they can do it.
00:12:10.700I don't think it's a real product yet.
00:12:12.900Not if it takes hours for every tweak.
00:12:16.200In other news, there's some kind of new movie coming out.
00:12:20.560It's going to be a big deal, The Age of Disclosure.
00:12:23.020And it's going to talk about the alleged ongoing cover-up of the UFOs that have been visiting us for years.
00:12:32.700And I guess Marco Rubio is in this and says that UFOs have been observed over restricted U.S. nuclear facilities and that they're definitely things not from this world.
00:12:46.160So there's going to be a whole bunch of people saying that they have direct evidence of UFOs and UFO bodies and stuff like that.
