Hot Bots on The Strip · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

0:00
Speaker 1: I don't understand why they make the robots so hot.
0:02
Speaker 1: It's one more thing.
0:04
Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty. One more thing.
0:09
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work my way into talking about taking the
0:13
Speaker 1: kids to Las Vegas and a couple of different things
0:15
Speaker 1: we happened. I mentioned the David Copperfield show that we
0:18
Speaker 1: went to the Magician and how he was working too
0:22
Speaker 1: sexy for a show with lots of kids. There lots
0:26
Speaker 1: of kids younger than my kids. Of course, the younger
0:27
Speaker 1: kids didn't get some of the jokes. But like he
0:31
Speaker 1: asked a dad, stand up, sir, see your your wife
0:35
Speaker 1: and your kids. When's the last time you and your
0:36
Speaker 1: wife had sex in front of their kids? Wait?
0:39
Speaker 3: What?
0:40
Speaker 1: Okay? And the last time you had this? So seven
0:42
Speaker 1: days ago? He writes down the number seven for the trick,
0:44
Speaker 1: and last time he had sex? How long did the
0:46
Speaker 1: session last? And Dad says twenty minutes. I'm not answering
0:51
Speaker 1: that question in front of my kids. It's weird.
0:54
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start calling sex the session from now on.
0:57
Speaker 2: Come home an exam for us session. Honey, it's a
1:02
Speaker 2: fantastic session. Maybe the rich old bastard just figures I
1:07
Speaker 2: got one act. I'm not changing it for these bunch
1:10
Speaker 2: of rugrats.
1:11
Speaker 1: I actually told my kids that it was a thing
1:13
Speaker 1: with aging. Sometimes when people get old, they just kind
1:16
Speaker 1: of lose track of what's appropriating what's not. Because that's true, right,
1:19
Speaker 1: and I think he might be there.
1:22
Speaker 2: You'd say some of the world's most famous performers would
1:26
Speaker 2: have figured that out by now, or had people.
1:28
Speaker 1: He's hell, he's hell old. The thing that made me
1:30
Speaker 1: laugh the hardest. And I couldn't say this on the show.
1:32
Speaker 1: It's inappropriate, and I know some of you don't like
1:34
Speaker 1: this language. But so part of the deal he was
1:37
Speaker 1: he made this. It's a long drawn out story, but
1:41
Speaker 1: he's got this little Yoda baby Yoda type character or whatever,
1:45
Speaker 1: and trying to get him home. Anyway, all of a
1:48
Speaker 1: sudden we're all staring at the ceiling, and all of
1:49
Speaker 1: a sudden a spaceship appears and it's footing around. He said,
1:52
Speaker 1: look at that, a goddamn spaceship.
1:56
Speaker 2: That made me laugh.
2:00
Speaker 1: Oh what, But anyway, so the other thing we did
2:04
Speaker 1: was we went to the Sphere. And that's the great
2:08
Speaker 1: big Giant ball. If you haven't heard anything about it.
2:11
Speaker 1: It got a lot of attention when it first opened
2:12
Speaker 1: because you two played there. But it's not just a
2:15
Speaker 1: concert venue. In fact, I don't think it's primarily going
2:17
Speaker 1: to be a concert venue. I think it's mostly going
2:19
Speaker 1: to be like movies and stuff like that. And so
2:21
Speaker 1: we watched this movie about Planet Earth and the Big Bang,
2:24
Speaker 1: and it was an opportunity to show you oceans and
2:27
Speaker 1: mountains and deserts. And I did get a little bit
2:31
Speaker 1: carsick motion sickness because you're floating around all this stuff
2:35
Speaker 1: and it's so giant. It's I forget how many k
2:39
Speaker 1: it was, eighteen K screen boy, and no.
2:42
Speaker 2: Way, I'm going to this eighteen K screen and that
2:45
Speaker 2: the vertigo of sitting like at the top of vertical stands.
2:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like walking up a mountain in one hundred
2:51
Speaker 1: and seventy thousand speakers and it's really remove it all. Yes,
2:56
Speaker 1: so that's cool. So when the elephants come stomping through,
2:59
Speaker 1: the base is like unlike anything you've ever heard before,
3:02
Speaker 1: I mean even a great concert. The base is just stunning.
3:06
Speaker 1: And then the seats move too, so you get a
3:07
Speaker 1: full Like the elephants are stomping through, it's loud and
3:10
Speaker 1: you're kind of bouncing around.
3:11
Speaker 2: Mmmmm.
3:12
Speaker 4: It sort of sounds like sensory overload.
3:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I got a kid with sensory issues, so
3:18
Speaker 1: he was he actually holding my hand the whole show.
3:20
Speaker 2: Yes, Joe, did the those woofers? Did they hit the
3:23
Speaker 2: brown note? The brown notice a note that all bassists
3:28
Speaker 2: know about, and that is a particular note. If your
3:30
Speaker 2: amp is set up just right, that can cause people
3:33
Speaker 2: to poop themselves.
3:36
Speaker 1: But the other thing they had at the Sphere, and
3:41
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this because there was an article
3:43
Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal. We'll talk about this on
3:46
Speaker 1: the radiation.
3:47
Speaker 2: Stop giggling. Look, Katie, the audience is not responding. They're
3:51
Speaker 2: a bad audience. You know what, You as the bass player,
3:54
Speaker 2: you're in charge of punishing them. I just expect more
3:57
Speaker 2: from you.
3:57
Speaker 1: I expect more, Joe.
4:00
Speaker 2: That's what's so delightful about men. You know, so many colors,
4:04
Speaker 2: so many different levels of humor.
4:07
Speaker 1: Before I move on to the AI thing, back to
4:09
Speaker 1: the Sphere show. So I'm sitting there and I was
4:12
Speaker 1: trying to decide how I'm going to talk about this
4:14
Speaker 1: so I don't get myself in trouble with various groups.
4:17
Speaker 1: I'm not going to mention the group. But it became
4:19
Speaker 1: clear to me that culturally, and this is another country
4:24
Speaker 1: because they don't speak English. Culturally, some people just talk
4:27
Speaker 1: through shows because they were all from a certain area
4:30
Speaker 1: of the world, and they just talked through the entire show,
4:34
Speaker 1: and I was giving them the look, but they were
4:36
Speaker 1: just so engrossed and out loud like regular voice, not
4:39
Speaker 1: even whispering like regular voice conversation, that I thought, this
4:43
Speaker 1: is clearly a cultural thing. This isn't a wow, This
4:46
Speaker 1: isn't a couple of rude people who need to be
4:49
Speaker 1: reminded to be quiet. They come from a part of
4:52
Speaker 1: the world where you just talk through shows. I guess
4:55
Speaker 1: so in these parts of the world that I won't
4:57
Speaker 1: mention because I don't want to get in trouble. If
4:58
Speaker 1: you go to a movie theater, is everybody just sitting
5:00
Speaker 1: there talking out loud through the whole movie? Because that's
5:02
Speaker 1: why I happen to you think he's gonna kiss her.
5:05
Speaker 1: I keep expecting her to kiss her.
5:06
Speaker 3: I don't know, good on you for figuring, you know,
5:09
Speaker 3: having that thought process prior to telling him to shut
5:12
Speaker 3: the hell up.
5:12
Speaker 1: Well, they wouldn't have understood me because they clearly didn't
5:14
Speaker 1: speak English. But yeah, a couple young couple sitting beside me,
5:20
Speaker 1: and then a couple of older people behind me, all
5:22
Speaker 1: from similar part of the world, and they just talked
5:25
Speaker 1: fully out loud the whole show, even to like super
5:28
Speaker 1: quiet parts, dramatic parts, and everything like that. Just blah
5:31
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. Weird. I guess that's
5:34
Speaker 1: just a cultural thing. In the United States, we were
5:36
Speaker 1: quiet during shows. Some might say.
5:39
Speaker 2: Respectful of other people's experience. You know, I totally get
5:43
Speaker 2: why you did what you did. It sounds super cool.
5:46
Speaker 2: You got kids, They need to have experiences and see
5:48
Speaker 2: the world.
5:48
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.
5:49
Speaker 2: I may have been exactly when you were there doing that.
5:53
Speaker 2: Judy and I were walking through the woods taking pictures
5:56
Speaker 2: of birds, and I am so happy that that's what
5:59
Speaker 2: I was doing. Yes, I was spectacle at all.
6:05
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking watching this thing at the sphere.
6:07
Speaker 1: I'm not sure while why anybody would ever need to
6:11
Speaker 1: go anywhere or do anything ever again, if this becomes normal,
6:15
Speaker 1: it was the the clarity of the eighteen K screen,
6:18
Speaker 1: the sound and all encompassing. I don't know why I
6:22
Speaker 1: would need to walk inside one of those great big
6:25
Speaker 1: cathedrals in Europe. I had the full I've been to one, so.
6:29
Speaker 2: You don't have smello vision yet.
6:31
Speaker 1: This is the first time I've ever had the awe
6:34
Speaker 1: feeling that you get from doing things in person from
6:38
Speaker 1: a screen, and I thought, I think they finally replicated
6:42
Speaker 1: the in person experience for seeing a sunset, being on
6:45
Speaker 1: the ocean whatever interesting.
6:48
Speaker 2: Now. You are are famously hard of smelling, hard of tasting.
6:55
Speaker 2: You don't taste things normally, okay, which I think has
6:58
Speaker 2: to do with zero factory center in your brain or
7:01
Speaker 2: something like that.
7:04
Speaker 1: I disagree.
7:05
Speaker 2: You've got to have the smell, you've got to have
7:07
Speaker 2: the humidity, You've got to have the feeling of the
7:10
Speaker 2: air in a place interesting to really experience it. Anyway,
7:15
Speaker 2: So I read the lustiness of an old church, even
7:18
Speaker 2: the musty, Yes, the smell of the hymnals. Thanks getting
7:22
Speaker 2: pretty musty after a session. Am I talking in this voice?
7:26
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm going to ignore that attempted humor.
7:30
Speaker 1: So a slight change of gears here to it something
7:32
Speaker 1: different that the speary minding me. So I read this
7:34
Speaker 1: article in the Wall Street Journal. We'll talk more about
7:36
Speaker 1: on the radio show yesterday. The title was the chest Master.
7:39
Speaker 1: Trying to propel Google's AI push, they hired a new
7:42
Speaker 1: guy the Game of Chest. They hired this genius at
7:48
Speaker 1: Google to try to make sure that they win the
7:51
Speaker 1: whole AI race. But what's the guy around Google? Pachai?
7:56
Speaker 1: How do you say his name?
7:57
Speaker 2: Sundar Pachai.
7:59
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard the quote. He thinks that the development
8:03
Speaker 1: of AI will be more profound than the invention of
8:06
Speaker 1: fire or electricity. If he's right about that, we better
8:11
Speaker 1: hold on to our seats because holy crappings, I mean,
8:18
Speaker 1: and this fits in with what I saw at the sphere,
8:20
Speaker 1: So the sphere is all about super high tex stuff.
8:24
Speaker 1: Henry my Son even asked me what's the theme here
8:26
Speaker 1: because there's lots of math equations on the wall and
8:30
Speaker 1: lots of planets, and I just I don't know if
8:32
Speaker 1: it was just science or exploration or I don't know
8:36
Speaker 1: what the theme was of the building, because originally it
8:39
Speaker 1: was a U two show for the first week, So
8:41
Speaker 1: why are all these math equations on the to see bono?
8:44
Speaker 1: But Nicole accomplishment In the lobby, they had this AI chick,
8:51
Speaker 1: so it was a robot. It's like your latest coolest
8:53
Speaker 1: robot that i'd seen videos of before, and like I
8:55
Speaker 1: said earlier, too hot. I don't know why you got
8:57
Speaker 1: to make the robots side. I mean why she you know,
9:00
Speaker 1: look like a normal person, but she's standing there and
9:02
Speaker 1: she's talking to the crowd. She's on a little stage
9:05
Speaker 1: and she's talking to the crowd, and she would ask
9:07
Speaker 1: people questions. Uh. Somebody asked me a question, and somebody'd
9:11
Speaker 1: say something. She'd say, what's your name? Uh? And he
9:15
Speaker 1: would say, Billy, okay, Billy, what would you like to
9:17
Speaker 1: ask me like your red shirt, Billy? You know that
9:20
Speaker 1: sort of thing. Just conversing with this AI computer, and
9:24
Speaker 1: it was disturbing. And it was one of those that
9:26
Speaker 1: has the ability for the face to move, so not
9:30
Speaker 1: just mouth opening and closing in like eyes, but like.
9:32
Speaker 4: The cheeks and the like expressions.
9:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, expressions, that's the word. It had full facial expressions.
9:39
Speaker 1: And I was disturbing and it was hot. He bought
9:42
Speaker 1: two thousand and was having conversations with these people and
9:45
Speaker 1: no matter what you brought up it would they would
9:47
Speaker 1: engage in it, or ask you about how your day was,
9:50
Speaker 1: or tell you something. And I thought, this is clearly
9:54
Speaker 1: going to be in a classroom someday. Why would you
9:57
Speaker 1: have individual teachers teaching Hamlet every year when you got
10:02
Speaker 1: this robot who knows more about Hamlet than any individual
10:05
Speaker 1: human being has ever known, can do the same routine
10:09
Speaker 1: every year, every semester and answer questions and it's hot.
10:16
Speaker 1: That's all I need. But I mean, in terms of
10:18
Speaker 1: taking over jobs, it was disturbing. Henry and I especially
10:22
Speaker 1: couldn't stop watching it. We went back to watch more
10:24
Speaker 1: after the Spear Show. It's like, this is crazy that
10:27
Speaker 1: this is even happening.
10:29
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I could see virtually every university class being
10:33
Speaker 2: you got, whether sexy or not, a robot teaching the class,
10:39
Speaker 2: you know, giving the material, answering questions from its vast,
10:43
Speaker 2: unending trove of knowledge on the topic. And then if
10:47
Speaker 2: you still have a question as a student or you
10:49
Speaker 2: need something clarified, you just get on a chat, a
10:53
Speaker 2: computer chat like you're trying to figure out why you're whatever.
10:56
Speaker 2: It doesn't work, and that'll be the university experience.
10:58
Speaker 4: Yeah.
10:59
Speaker 1: I don't know what it wouldn't be able to answer,
11:01
Speaker 1: especially in the near future. Keeping in mind that whatever
11:03
Speaker 1: we saw on Friday, they've probably got better technology already today.
11:09
Speaker 1: As we record this on Tuesday, and five years from
11:11
Speaker 1: now it'll be that much better than that. So why
11:13
Speaker 1: won't that be the person doing the sales presenttion presentation
11:16
Speaker 1: over there in the boardroom in front of your salespeople.
11:18
Speaker 1: And it can answer the questions of hey, but what
11:20
Speaker 1: do I do if you know, if a client says this, well,
11:22
Speaker 1: this is what you do, because it knows more than anybody.
11:26
Speaker 3: Have you guys heard about the Uncanny Valley with this
11:31
Speaker 3: AI and the robotics and whatnot. It's it's a part
11:34
Speaker 3: of our brain that gets really uncomfortable when you start
11:39
Speaker 3: getting into that area where it's kind of a human,
11:43
Speaker 3: but you know it's not a human.
11:44
Speaker 1: Henry was having that problem. What's that called.
11:46
Speaker 4: It's called the uncanny Valley?
11:48
Speaker 2: Wow, Henry, is the basis of so many horror creatures
11:53
Speaker 2: in horror movies. You make it almost human.
11:56
Speaker 1: It's disturbing to us. Yeah, Henry was having that and
11:58
Speaker 1: he said, this is going to get me nightmares tonight.
12:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a cool genre of horror that's like blowing
12:04
Speaker 3: up right now, especially because these robots are popping up
12:07
Speaker 3: all over the place and kind of give people the ick.
12:10
Speaker 1: The facial expressions on this robot were The most disturbing
12:13
Speaker 1: part is that it would answer, you know, a kid's
12:16
Speaker 1: question or an adult's question or whatever, and just the
12:18
Speaker 1: facial expressions like looking interested and then wow, that's interesting
12:21
Speaker 1: and puzzled and just and not like cartoonishly interested or puzzled,
12:25
Speaker 1: but like an actual human being. It was weird.
12:29
Speaker 2: So at the risk of seven, like a guy calling
12:31
Speaker 2: some sort of sex line of the past, what was
12:34
Speaker 2: the hot bot wearing like a sex spot like a unitard,
12:42
Speaker 2: oh sort of thing. So it had bare legs even
12:45
Speaker 2: though they were gray, like the color of carbon fiber.
12:49
Speaker 2: I Meannette, not like carrying gray, but like gray. There
12:56
Speaker 2: are many hues of humans around the world, and we're
12:59
Speaker 2: all just deserving of love, Jack, but gray is generally
13:02
Speaker 2: reserved for the dead.
13:03
Speaker 1: She was shaved headed, but like really well built, attractive
13:11
Speaker 1: woman and very pretty and uh and obviously if you
13:14
Speaker 1: want to go that direction, and it is Las Vegas,
13:16
Speaker 1: they will have those with blonde hair or brown hair
13:19
Speaker 1: or whatever hair color you prefer, doing whatever you want
13:21
Speaker 1: to do over there. I'm sure it's at some point
13:26
Speaker 1: they may already they might already. Yeah, Yeah, that's a
13:29
Speaker 1: different level of re It's on.
13:31
Speaker 4: It's an extra you can tack onto your room.
13:34
Speaker 1: But having seen that, and having Sonja Putai or whatever
13:38
Speaker 1: his name is, say, this is going to be as
13:40
Speaker 1: big as fire or electricity. Even if he's half right
13:45
Speaker 1: with what I just saw, we have no We human
13:48
Speaker 1: beings aren't ready for what's about to happen.
13:52
Speaker 2: True, I believe that to be true. Yeah, there could
13:56
Speaker 2: be a sharp turn, unlike any of their sharp turn yeah,
14:01
Speaker 2: right ahead of us. Yeah, and.
14:04
Speaker 1: I'm old enough that I'm going to catch it, you know,
14:06
Speaker 1: at the tail end of my life and have to adjust.
14:09
Speaker 1: My kids are going to grow up in a world
14:11
Speaker 1: that I can't even imagine. Now, they can't imagine. I
14:15
Speaker 1: have no idea what's the best way to prepare them
14:17
Speaker 1: for it. Neither does anybody else.
14:20
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, he says, brainstorming his screenplay, the third world is
14:25
Speaker 2: going to send wave after wave of millions of armed
14:29
Speaker 2: people to come and take it right because they're still
14:33
Speaker 2: without as we the developed world will be basking in
14:37
Speaker 2: the wealthy glow of the AI affluence that's coming our way.
14:43
Speaker 1: I had one more question I would ask Katie, And
14:45
Speaker 1: this is just about the way some people dress in
14:49
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, women who are dressed crazy, like I'm a
14:54
Speaker 1: stripper outfit in Las Vegas. That is what is going
14:59
Speaker 1: on there.
15:00
Speaker 4: Mostly Unfortunately, that's just like the Vegas club attire.
15:04
Speaker 1: So that's just the vibe. If you're gonna go to
15:06
Speaker 1: a club.
15:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you have a really short dress that you're
15:10
Speaker 3: not too sure where you could ever wear it, you
15:12
Speaker 3: take it to Vegas.
15:13
Speaker 1: Okay, it's true. It doesn't stand out as weird there
15:17
Speaker 1: whereas it would at the company Christmas party or certainly
15:21
Speaker 1: Easter Sunday services, right, but.
15:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't put on your whole were for Easter Sunday.
15:29
Speaker 1: Kidding. But even if you went to a bar something, yeah,
15:31
Speaker 1: dressed like that, you'd stand out as what But there
15:34
Speaker 1: are so many women dressed like that there, Like, how
15:37
Speaker 1: do you even walk in those shoes? You're if you
15:40
Speaker 1: you know, don't bend down to pick up your keys
15:42
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna, you know, my kids are gonna be
15:43
Speaker 1: exposed to something. It's just I just wonder what I just.
15:47
Speaker 2: I think people enjoy escaping their workaday lives and they
15:51
Speaker 2: get to be somebody different.
15:53
Speaker 1: Cool, cool, and what happens there stays there is It
15:56
Speaker 1: famously said awesome. It's tough. You can up a robot.
16:01
Speaker 1: It's tough to walk through those casinos with a couple
16:03
Speaker 1: with a twelve year old and a fourteen year old. Though,
16:05
Speaker 1: let's just say, boys, it's like educational. If I hadn't
16:09
Speaker 1: walked through there, I was just thinking about this. If
16:11
Speaker 1: if my dad had taken me through there when I
16:14
Speaker 1: was a fourteen year old, boy, holy crap, I didt
16:16
Speaker 1: never stopped thinking about it. I never saw stuff like
16:18
Speaker 1: that in real life. At age fourteen, I had to
16:22
Speaker 1: run off.
16:22
Speaker 2: And hidden behind a slot machine and attempt to stay
16:25
Speaker 2: there permanently. He'd still be there, exactly, go ooching around
16:30
