Wicked Radio 12-12: Who Will Thrive With AI? Plus Friday Headlines! · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:04
Speaker 1: Who will thrive with AI. That's right, Artificial intelligence, the
0:08
Speaker 1: big boogeyman. They're trying to scare you into being afraid
0:11
Speaker 1: of it. It's gonna take your job. Well, actually it may,
0:14
Speaker 1: but this is one of those slow moving disasters, if
0:17
Speaker 1: you want to look at it that way. Have plenty
0:19
Speaker 1: of warning, and it's going to be a winner and
0:21
Speaker 1: they are gonna be losers. But you could prepare for
0:23
Speaker 1: it for you, your employment, your future. But I'll see
0:26
Speaker 1: your kids. But this is what started this whole thing off.
0:29
Speaker 1: Time magazine has made AI the person in figure quotes
0:33
Speaker 1: of the year. Kind of weird, not a person really.
0:36
Speaker 1: What they're getting at here is the architects of artificial
0:38
Speaker 1: Intelligence person of the Year. We'll get into that as
0:42
Speaker 1: well as a big announcement in Executive Order about artificial
0:44
Speaker 1: intelligence from the White House just yesterday. We'll talk about
0:48
Speaker 1: that as well and what it all means, as well
0:50
Speaker 1: as some Friday headlines and more important than any of
0:52
Speaker 1: that stuff, let me be the first if nobody said
0:55
Speaker 1: it to you yet, to wish you a happy Friday
0:58
Speaker 1: and the gateway your weekend. Thanks for being here, everybody.
1:02
Speaker 1: I'm Bill. This is Wicked Radio. The live stream, if
1:04
Speaker 1: you're watching live, if you're watching on the replay or
1:06
Speaker 1: listening later on you don't care about live. This is
1:09
Speaker 1: available to you wherever and whenever, all of the platforms,
1:12
Speaker 1: even the audio podcast platforms. Wherever you want to get it.
1:15
Speaker 1: Make sure you check out the YouTube channel as well,
1:16
Speaker 1: and give me a follow on there because clips from
1:18
Speaker 1: the show are available to Let's get right to it,
1:21
Speaker 1: shall we. The star of the news yesterday, at least
1:24
Speaker 1: the ones I'm interested in. The star was artificial intelligence,
1:29
Speaker 1: big announcement. I don't know if this is still a
1:31
Speaker 1: relevant thing as it used to be. Remember when Time
1:33
Speaker 1: Magazine's Person of the year, I guess when it was
1:36
Speaker 1: actually more popular in print edition. This was always a big,
1:40
Speaker 1: big deal. I remember that was always a big deal
1:42
Speaker 1: and it made I remember back in the day, was
1:44
Speaker 1: it the eighties maybe nineties, they had the mirrored cover
1:50
Speaker 1: because the person of the year was you, the American
1:52
Speaker 1: citizen and their readers. That was a shameless ploy. But whatever,
1:56
Speaker 1: It's still a thing, mostly online edition now. But the
1:59
Speaker 1: person quote un quote of the year now is artificial intelligence.
2:03
Speaker 1: Here's the write up. Twenty twenty five was the year
2:05
Speaker 1: when artificial intelligence full potential roar. At interview became clear
2:09
Speaker 1: there will be no turning back for delivering the age
2:13
Speaker 1: of thinking machines wowyhing in worrying humanity, transforming the present,
2:18
Speaker 1: transcending the possible. The architects of AI are Time Magazine's
2:23
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Person of the Year. So the architects
2:25
Speaker 1: is what they're getting at here, Sam Altman, Elon Musk
2:29
Speaker 1: one of those. We're gonna hear from Elon of course
2:31
Speaker 1: in just a second. So that's what they're getting at here. Worthy.
2:34
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's always up to debate. Sure, I
2:36
Speaker 1: guess you can't. It's hard to find anybody now that
2:39
Speaker 1: doesn't at least enter that into the discussion about what
2:43
Speaker 1: their future is going to look like, right, no matter
2:45
Speaker 1: what industry they're in, whether they talk about it or
2:47
Speaker 1: at least you've heard somebody talk about artificial intelligence. It's
2:50
Speaker 1: a big deal. Obviously, it's going to reshape everything. It's
2:53
Speaker 1: roaring in a light speed. But there's going to be
2:57
Speaker 1: winners in this. And here's wrap this up. What I
3:01
Speaker 1: love about it. It's so funny how just humanity go
3:04
Speaker 1: always comes full circle. For as much as crafts people
3:09
Speaker 1: trades people had been put down for the past fifty
3:13
Speaker 1: sixty years, and they have been Let's be honest here,
3:15
Speaker 1: let's be adults in the room. Oh, trade school. Oh,
3:18
Speaker 1: and they would put put that down and it was
3:19
Speaker 1: all you but and always the ivy leaguers would put
3:22
Speaker 1: down people to work with their hands, when really the
3:24
Speaker 1: reality is, if you know any of them, people who
3:27
Speaker 1: became plumbers and electricians and linemen and carpenters and contractors,
3:35
Speaker 1: they're the people more often than not wound up buying
3:38
Speaker 1: their own companies, you know, becoming journeymen and then experienced
3:43
Speaker 1: and then having their own staff, becoming millionaires and probably
3:47
Speaker 1: retiring way before any of the uh fortune five hundred
3:51
Speaker 1: executives would. That was the dirty little secret all along.
3:54
Speaker 1: Yet they kept on putting down trade schools. Well, I
3:56
Speaker 1: think that's going to change, because who's going to win.
4:00
Speaker 1: I think we're going to find out it's the people
4:01
Speaker 1: that work with their hands. Still, artificial intelligence can replace
4:05
Speaker 1: a lot or somebody that works in the digital field,
4:09
Speaker 1: but not your favorite chef, not aligned that's turning on
4:13
Speaker 1: your power, not a guy that could fix your brakes,
4:16
Speaker 1: not yet anyway. And those are the people are going
4:18
Speaker 1: to thrive. Anyway, let's go to the White House. Just
4:19
Speaker 1: yesterday coinciding interestingly enough, I don't think this was planned,
4:23
Speaker 1: but along with the twenty twenty five Person of the
4:25
Speaker 1: Year going to the architects of AI. But the President
4:28
Speaker 1: signed a big executive order. And this is how our
4:30
Speaker 1: national interests are involved. And this is important because you
4:34
Speaker 1: want to be in the country that has taken the
4:35
Speaker 1: lead in artificial intelligence, because somebody's gonna win. Not only individuals,
4:40
Speaker 1: but one of these countries is going to win, and
4:41
Speaker 1: most likely it's going to be us, or it's going
4:43
Speaker 1: to be China. You want it to be us. You
4:45
Speaker 1: do so the executive order apparently, and they always have
4:49
Speaker 1: the guy that describes what the executive orders about, and
4:51
Speaker 1: then Trump talks for a little bit. This is about
4:53
Speaker 1: getting ready the regulation that would kind of like hinder
4:55
Speaker 1: and hamper us because you know that would happen. They
4:57
Speaker 1: were already outside on the street Pennsylvania Avenue, people protesting this.
5:02
Speaker 1: People will protest editing. But anyway, here's the announcement yesterday
5:04
Speaker 1: in the way.
5:05
Speaker 2: Mister President, as you said, in keeping with your commitment
5:08
Speaker 2: to grow the American economy and create potentially millions of
5:11
Speaker 2: new American jobs, and maintain America's technological and military superiority
5:16
Speaker 2: in the years ahead. This is an executive order that
5:18
Speaker 2: orders aspects of your administration to take decisive action to
5:22
Speaker 2: ensure that AI can operate within a single national framework
5:26
Speaker 2: in this country, as opposed to being subject to state
5:30
Speaker 2: level regulation that could potentially cripple the industry. David Sachs,
5:34
Speaker 2: your AI and Crypto ZAR, has been one of the
5:38
Speaker 2: key players and key authors behind the CEO. He can
5:40
Speaker 2: give you more of the granular detail, but the big
5:43
Speaker 2: picture is that we're taking steps to ensure that AI
5:46
Speaker 2: operates under a single national standard so that we can
5:49
Speaker 2: reap the benefits that will come from it in terms
5:52
Speaker 2: of economic growth, job development, national security, and technological edge.
5:56
Speaker 3: And it's really the biggest industry that anybody seen that.
6:00
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's taking off. And again I believe
6:03
Speaker 3: they'll only be one country that really benefits and a hippy,
6:06
Speaker 3: the United States, and that it will be if we
6:10
Speaker 3: do this, if we're unified, we have to be unified,
6:12
Speaker 3: and China.
6:13
Speaker 1: Is smart move. Yeah. Again, you may not like Trump,
6:16
Speaker 1: but that's a smart move to jump on this right now,
6:17
Speaker 1: because if we hinder this thing with regulation and red
6:20
Speaker 1: tape and bickering back and forth and NGOs grabbing hold
6:24
Speaker 1: of it, and it's only it will get our asses
6:27
Speaker 1: kicked once again by China. So that's so that's good. Hey,
6:29
Speaker 1: Trump said it right there, the biggest industry, it's big.
6:32
Speaker 1: We need to be the leader. He's right about that.
6:34
Speaker 1: You need to be you need to be nationalistic about
6:36
Speaker 1: this and say I want my country in the lead
6:39
Speaker 1: for AI development and jobs. Absolutely, So that looks as though, thankfully,
6:44
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. What's the big boogeyman in the room.
6:47
Speaker 1: What's everybody concerned about? Everybody's heard it for years now.
6:51
Speaker 1: He's going to replace that job. And you also hear
6:53
Speaker 1: this in casual conversation or barroom talk. It's like, oh, ay,
6:56
Speaker 1: I's going to take your job. AI people. We have
6:58
Speaker 1: no idea what they're talking about. They but the love
7:00
Speaker 1: to throw it out. Oh you know that's going to
7:01
Speaker 1: be replaced by AI. Oh what's that mean? I don't know.
7:05
Speaker 1: So what's it really mean. Well, let's go to one
7:08
Speaker 1: of the guys that actually was mentioned along with a
7:11
Speaker 1: bunch of others, as one of the architects of artificial intelligence.
7:14
Speaker 1: Elon Musk himself very recently. I don't know there was
7:17
Speaker 1: this one might have been last week, but anyway, he
7:19
Speaker 1: was on Rogan and Joe asked him specifically, get right
7:22
Speaker 1: to the point, as he always does, the question we
7:25
Speaker 1: all care about, all right, what jobs are going to
7:27
Speaker 1: be most affected by artificial intelligence as it's developing at
7:31
Speaker 1: light speed? And I thought Elon had a great answer.
7:34
Speaker 1: So here's what he said, little long, but I think
7:36
Speaker 1: it's well worth it, and this gets to exactly what
7:38
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Better, stop putting down the trades people,
7:42
Speaker 1: the crafts people, the people that work with their hands,
7:44
Speaker 1: because they're going to be they're going to be eating
7:46
Speaker 1: your lunch if you don't know what they do.
7:48
Speaker 2: So it's like, what other jobs will be available that
7:52
Speaker 2: aren't available now because of AI?
7:57
Speaker 4: Well, AI well is still digital. Ultimately, AI can improve
8:02
Speaker 4: the productivity of humans whoo who build things with their
8:07
Speaker 4: hands or do things with their hands like plump, you know,
8:09
Speaker 4: literally welding, electrical work, plumbing, anything that's that's physically moving atoms,
8:18
Speaker 4: like cooking food or you know, farming or like like
8:24
Speaker 4: anything that's that's physical. Those jobs will exist for a
8:28
Speaker 4: much longer time. But anything that is digital, which is
8:32
Speaker 4: like just someone at a computer doing something, AI is
8:36
Speaker 4: going to take over those jobs, like.
8:37
Speaker 1: Lightning guys that are right there, one of the architects,
8:40
Speaker 1: one of the people mentioned specifically by Time Magazine's Person
8:44
Speaker 1: of the Year announcement, he would know. I'm pretty sure,
8:49
Speaker 1: and not yet, and somewhere down the road it'll be,
8:51
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like a Star Trek episode, it'll
8:53
Speaker 1: just be robotics doing those jobs eventually. Sure, absolutely not
8:57
Speaker 1: in our lifetime, though not yet. So my takeaway is
9:01
Speaker 1: a couple of different things. First and foremost, let's go
9:03
Speaker 1: to this. Let's stop putting down people that work with
9:06
Speaker 1: their hands, because you know what, luck or design, they
9:10
Speaker 1: turned out to be the smart ones. So if you
9:12
Speaker 1: got a kid, you got somebody, you got somebody interested in,
9:15
Speaker 1: you got somebody that's asking you for investment in their
9:17
Speaker 1: future in the trades, I'd support them. I'd support them
9:21
Speaker 1: as much as you possibly can because they're going to
9:23
Speaker 1: be the smart ones and they're gonna be secure. They're
9:25
Speaker 1: only going to benefit and profit from this. Also, robotics,
9:28
Speaker 1: there's gonna be people who will need to fix the
9:31
Speaker 1: things physically. A human element to fix the robotics and
9:35
Speaker 1: all the power plants and everything that's going to be
9:37
Speaker 1: needed by AI for sure. And also it's like where's
9:40
Speaker 1: the fear. It's like, well, okay, yeah, if I was
9:43
Speaker 1: a programmer or a coder, yeah, I'd be very concerned,
9:46
Speaker 1: especially if I was, like, you know, way younger than
9:48
Speaker 1: I am right now, because I get a long way
9:49
Speaker 1: to go. But that's exactly the key, isn't it. All
9:53
Speaker 1: jobs change, all industries change, nothing stays the same. And
9:57
Speaker 1: at least with this, even though it's moving at a
9:59
Speaker 1: break new you know, light speed fashion, you got a
10:04
Speaker 1: lot of warning in what's coming. Nobody you can't say
10:07
Speaker 1: that you weren't warned of what's coming and what's going
10:09
Speaker 1: to be effected and what's going to thrive. So there
10:12
Speaker 1: it all is. But heavy investment, heavy investment should be
10:17
Speaker 1: happening both at the national level, state level, and on
10:20
Speaker 1: your personal level in trade schools. People that work with
10:22
Speaker 1: their hands and know what they're doing, and you get
10:24
Speaker 1: them to start businesses because it's going to be massively important, huge, huge,
10:29
Speaker 1: as Trump says, in this industry. It's get to some
10:32
Speaker 1: Friday headlines, what's going on here? This was fascinating to me.
10:35
Speaker 1: Did you know how much money we were were being
10:39
Speaker 1: the keyword giving to the Taliban, not just Afghanistan, I
10:44
Speaker 1: mean giving money millions and millions of dollars weekly to
10:50
Speaker 1: the Taliban. I didn't know. I had no idea. You know,
10:53
Speaker 1: I pay attention to this crap every single day, read
10:55
Speaker 1: a lot of headline, I consume a lot of information.
10:57
Speaker 1: Did you know I didn't know? This is why it's
10:59
Speaker 1: another We have to pay attention to this stuff and
11:02
Speaker 1: get through to your local representatives anybody can, and make
11:06
Speaker 1: your voice heard, because eventually it is heard. Enough people
11:09
Speaker 1: made us stink about this that they would try to
11:12
Speaker 1: stop it, because nobody knew until this happened, of course,
11:14
Speaker 1: because it was through these NGOs, non government organizations, of course,
11:18
Speaker 1: that finally got blown up. It was frustrating at first.
11:22
Speaker 1: They tried to do it legislatively. Tim Burchett, you know,
11:26
Speaker 1: he's one of my favorites now, one of my favorite
11:27
Speaker 1: members of the guy from Tennessee, the guy that says
11:30
Speaker 1: Dad gummet, he's got just this down home common sense.
11:33
Speaker 1: He has tried for a year to get legislation done
11:36
Speaker 1: to stop funding the teleban. It sounds bizarre to even
11:39
Speaker 1: say this is how it started last week when he
11:42
Speaker 1: was all frustrated, and then we'll jump to where it's
11:44
Speaker 1: going because it's it's good news, trust me. But this
11:48
Speaker 1: is him last week. He's all pissed off about it,
11:49
Speaker 1: as he should be.
11:51
Speaker 5: Hey, everybody, Tim bartztt As you know, as I've been
11:54
Speaker 5: championing the cause to quit paying the dad Gum Taliban
11:58
Speaker 5: forty million or forty five million whatever is a week,
12:01
Speaker 5: we give it them over over five billion dollars total
12:04
Speaker 5: since the Biden administration every week, every week. We can't
12:08
Speaker 5: stop the bill. We can't. We can't get the bill
12:11
Speaker 5: passed in the Senate. It's taken me over a year
12:13
Speaker 5: to get it out of that good house, and we
12:15
Speaker 5: got it. Fell over in the Senate who was a staffer,
12:18
Speaker 5: but he was a former I believe, ambastardor to Afghanistan
12:23
Speaker 5: and his name is what Tom West and apparently our
12:29
Speaker 5: good friend Tulca Gabbard and the Trump administration denied him
12:34
Speaker 5: his security clearance because of his alleged cozy relationship with
12:39
Speaker 5: the Taliban, and so I suspect that's what's going on
12:42
Speaker 5: in the Senate. That's why they're they're stopping the bill,
12:46
Speaker 5: and people say, well, if y'all are in the majority,
12:48
Speaker 5: why don't you you just act like it.
12:50
Speaker 1: Well, you've got to have sixty votes. Over there, there's
12:52
Speaker 1: another reminder where you're going to blow up the filibuster
12:55
Speaker 1: because you can't get anything done, and you're going to
12:58
Speaker 1: have to get things done. But anyway, did you did
13:00
Speaker 1: you hear him correctly? Like I did? I think? I hope?
13:02
Speaker 1: Did he say forty million dollars a week? Forty million
13:07
Speaker 1: dollars a week has been going out to the Taliban,
13:11
Speaker 1: not just Afghanistan, the Taliban. You know, we abandoned Afghanistan
13:15
Speaker 1: and left him all billions of dollars of weaponry. Okay,
13:18
Speaker 1: how does it happen? He explained it right there, NGOs
13:22
Speaker 1: and non government organization that goes to with some stud
13:24
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is. I'm just making this up,
13:26
Speaker 1: but it's always the same thing. It'll be like Save
13:29
Speaker 1: the Afghan Children or something like this. It'll get a
13:33
Speaker 1: stamp of approval, it'll go over there, money goes in
13:37
Speaker 1: your taxpayer money, and they get gets kicked back to
13:39
Speaker 1: somebody in Washington. That's exactly what Tim Burchet was getting there,
13:42
Speaker 1: so he was all frustrated about that. But then but
13:45
Speaker 1: hold on, there's good news. But then a couple of
13:47
Speaker 1: days later, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who, by the way,
13:51
Speaker 1: side note, is he like the MVP, is he like
13:53
Speaker 1: the most improved player so far? He's getting a lot done.
13:56
Speaker 1: I mean, we got to give him credit. Trump used
13:58
Speaker 1: to call him Little Marco. Remember that he loves him
14:01
Speaker 1: now anyway, as Secretary of State, which seems like this
14:04
Speaker 1: should have been done a long time ago, get it
14:06
Speaker 1: out of the legislator level and just take it from
14:08
Speaker 1: take it to the executive level, step in and stop this.
14:11
Speaker 1: Apparently he did. Here's representative second day and rowe we're
14:16
Speaker 1: talking about her, Representative Anna Paulina Luna, talking about the
14:19
Speaker 1: good news, how it looks as though all that funding
14:21
Speaker 1: supposedly has been stopped. This is her on the Capitol
14:24
Speaker 1: steps yesterday.
14:25
Speaker 6: But we actually just switched star boats and we got
14:27
Speaker 6: guaranteed to talk to the Secretary of State directly and
14:30
Speaker 6: got guarantees that any NGOs that are funneling American tax
14:33
Speaker 6: dollars to the Taliban are officially going to be cut off.
14:35
Speaker 6: So he's personally pornogging nun. That's a huge deal because,
14:38
Speaker 6: as you know, ever been reports that our America tachert
14:41
Speaker 6: always are still going forty million a week to the Taliban.
14:43
Speaker 6: So that was something that the Senate didn't want to
14:45
Speaker 6: specifically add in the provisions of the NBA. We got
14:47
Speaker 6: the guarantees from the Secretary stats. We're going outside of
14:49
Speaker 6: the Senate, going to the director, to the secretar sty,
14:51
Speaker 6: which is great.
14:52
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Well why did it take this law. I
14:56
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe because they wanted to see if they
14:58
Speaker 1: could do this legislatively. I don't Going back to Tim Burchet,
15:01
Speaker 1: Dad Gummt there for a second, a staffer, a staffer
15:05
Speaker 1: from one of the senators was holding the staffers have
15:10
Speaker 1: that much power, but apparently had influenced this enough where
15:12
Speaker 1: it was holding up the bill to get passed in
15:14
Speaker 1: the Senate, holding up a bill, holding up a plan
15:19
Speaker 1: to stop sending money to a terrorist organization. You know,
15:23
Speaker 1: I hear things like that and you just start to
15:24
Speaker 1: think the swamp will never be fixed. They just don't care.
15:28
Speaker 1: They don't care about American interests, They just care about
15:30
Speaker 1: their own interest. It's amazing, It's absolutely amazing. So good,
15:34
Speaker 1: so good, that we have a Secretary of State that
15:36
Speaker 1: stepped in to stop it, allegedly supposedly so far, so
15:39
Speaker 1: take that as good news. Again, forty million a week
15:43
Speaker 1: if that's correct. Oh my god. Anyway, here's some more
15:48
Speaker 1: good news out of the Friday headlines. So this is
15:50
Speaker 1: like numbers and dollars and cents and stuff, but the
15:52
Speaker 1: takeaway is it appears as though the trade in the
15:57
Speaker 1: tariff game has been working for the administration. This is
16:00
Speaker 1: CNBC yesterday. I thought it was funny this clip I grabbed,
16:03
Speaker 1: and even though this is dollars and cents, I thought
16:05
Speaker 1: it was funny because the guy on CNBC was kind
16:07
Speaker 1: of like all flustered because you couldn't believe the numbers.
16:10
Speaker 1: Apparently the trade deficit we've been living under is way better.
16:14
Speaker 1: It knocked it back to twenty twenty levels.
16:16
Speaker 7: Here he is trade balance minus fifty two point eight billion.
16:20
Speaker 7: That's a better lower trade deficit than we expected. We
16:24
Speaker 7: were looking for a number closer to sixty two billion.
16:27
Speaker 7: And that follows they revised minus fifty nine billion. Minus
16:31
Speaker 7: fifty two billion would be the lightest going back to Wow,
16:36
Speaker 7: we're really going back. Well, my records go back to
16:41
Speaker 7: nineteen ninety two, and to find a smaller number than
16:45
Speaker 7: minus fifty two billion. We're all the way back to
16:48
Speaker 7: June of twenty twenty.
16:52
Speaker 1: I'm looking around. I'm waiting for all the mainstream networks
16:55
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that because that was breaking news, so they
16:58
Speaker 1: couldn't edit that out. So is anybody admitting that the
17:02
Speaker 1: that the tariffs are working? Okay? I guess not. I
17:05
Speaker 1: guess we're gonna have to keep waiting for that one.
17:08
Speaker 1: It's a lot of heady numbers, still a massive trade
17:11
Speaker 1: deficit we're working under. But there's another piece of good news.
17:13
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hear a lot about it, no, because
17:15
Speaker 1: it's a big win for the administration. But that's good.
17:19
Speaker 1: That's really good because event our price is still too
17:21
Speaker 1: high for us every day as head into the Christmas season,
17:23
Speaker 1: of course they are, but that stuff has to start first.
17:26
Speaker 1: That's big. All right. I'll wrap it up with my
17:29
Speaker 1: favorite story at least of the day so far. You know,
17:32
Speaker 1: we were just talking about AI and this amazing advancement
17:34
Speaker 1: in technology. Who's gonna thrive, who's not gonna thrive? Well,
17:38
Speaker 1: the greatest technology in the world still can't defeat lunatics.
17:43
Speaker 1: We gotta go. We gotta go to Los Angeles for
17:45
Speaker 1: this one. So you've heard of Waimo, the driverless taxi service,
17:49
Speaker 1: big in San Francisco, of course, Tech Valley, and big
17:52
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles some other cities, I think Austin as
17:54
Speaker 1: well in some other cities. I don't know if New
17:57
Speaker 1: York City has tried it quite yet. Driverless taxis you
17:59
Speaker 1: call it. It arrives, no driver, You jump in and
18:03
Speaker 1: it's just you alone in the car, and it takes
18:05
Speaker 1: you to where you want to go, mostly unless there's
18:09
Speaker 1: a lunatic hiding in the backseat. Huh uh, it happened.
18:14
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go to Fox eleven, Los Angeles, California
18:19
Speaker 1: for the news story.
18:20
Speaker 8: So this is a strange one. Imagine you order a
18:22
Speaker 8: robo taxi it's supposed to be empty, and then finding
18:25
Speaker 8: a man in the back. The new video adding fuel
18:30
Speaker 8: to a nationwide debate over driverless taxis why are you
18:33
Speaker 8: in it? A Los Angeles woman expecting an empty self
18:36
Speaker 8: driving Waymo ride instead finds a stranger in the trunk.
18:41
Speaker 8: In his explanation, only adding to the confusion. Right before
18:47
Speaker 8: police arrived to the scene near MacArthur Park officers say
18:50
Speaker 8: no arrest were made because technically no crime was committed.
18:54
Speaker 1: No crime, yeah, no crime committed. No, it's just a
18:57
Speaker 1: lunatic in the back seat of a driverless taxi. No
18:59
Speaker 1: crime though, because it's so new, this old technology, we
19:01
Speaker 1: don't know what to do with it. It's basically what
19:03
Speaker 1: they're saying. And I love the lady. She's like, what
19:05
Speaker 1: the heck are you doing in the vackseat? The guy
19:07
Speaker 1: goes the people put me here. Okay again, we've got
19:11
Speaker 1: amazing technology these days. Just the fact that we have
19:13
Speaker 1: driverless taxis with Waimo greatest technology, we'll never get rid
19:18
Speaker 1: of the lunatics, which is why. And I tell my
19:21
Speaker 1: daughters this all the time. It's like, even with the
19:23
Speaker 1: technology you have, don't let that replace your good senses
19:27
Speaker 1: and your common sense and your situational awareness. Keep your
19:29
Speaker 1: head in this s wibbl and you find if you
19:32
Speaker 1: find a lunatic in the backseat of a driverless taxi,
19:35
Speaker 1: get rid of a blast them. And why can't you
19:38
Speaker 1: there's no loss on the books, we don't know, no law,
19:40
Speaker 1: no crime committed, so well, you know whatever, But that's it,
19:43
Speaker 1: isn't it? Ai technology, new society. Who's gonna thrive, crafts, people,
19:50
Speaker 1: tradesman and I love it, I really do. But it's here.
19:54
Speaker 1: You just got to prepare for it. All industries change,
19:57
Speaker 1: but you get enough advance information about it, which we
20:00
Speaker 1: do now about artificial intelligence, you can to adjust your
20:04
Speaker 1: life around it. And I think overall it's going to
20:06
Speaker 1: be awesome. It really is anyway, that's my takeaway. But
20:09
Speaker 1: it's Friday. That's the most important thing of all. Have
20:11
Speaker 1: an awesome, safe, great weekend. One of the last couple.
20:14
Speaker 1: What do we have two shopping weekends before Christmas? Is
20:17
Speaker 1: that how close we are. We'll see how the numbers
20:19
Speaker 1: are doing in the economy. But it's supposedly the economist
20:22
Speaker 1: was saying, it's big. People aren't afraid to spend, and
20:25
Speaker 1: gas prices are down too, so that's good. Thanks for
