Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to Nonsense Season 4, Episode 23, our big story on our
- 0:02second show of the week, I'm Jeff Parker.
- 0:04I'm CJ Little. This time we're looking at
- 0:06coding was only the beginning. The next 5 industries facing an
- 0:09AI overhaul up next. First they came for the coders,
- 0:12Jeff, and you said nothing. Because I was a coder, but
- 0:15coders don't like to talk to people.
- 0:16First of all, you, you weren't a coder.
- 0:17You are a coder that doesn't just leave.
- 0:20You're not like one day like I, I no longer develop software.
- 0:22You're always developing software.
- 0:24I do develop software but I do a lot of AI coding now, a lot of
- 0:27vibe coding. OK, I enjoy it.
- 0:29First of all, I have to re evaluate our relationship.
- 0:32If you're a vibe coding now. Have you not tried having the AI
- 0:36code for you? I have a little, it does make me
- 0:38feel a little dirty. I'm more of like let it write me
- 0:40like functions. I'm not like the full blown let
- 0:42me build the thing. Oh, I started out doing
- 0:44functions. That's exactly how I started
- 0:46out, Yeah. And then I just got out of the
- 0:48way. Yeah, the problem is I know
- 0:50what's buried down there. And then when I go look at it,
- 0:53I'm just, it just, it gives me the hives and I just, I just
- 0:56can't. No, it's beautiful code.
- 0:57Now you, you haven't done it in a while.
- 0:59It's there's, there's nothing I can write now that's much
- 1:01cleaner than what the AI writes. I did have this idea a while ago
- 1:04where I was like, just don't look at the code, look at the
- 1:06executable. Then you'll be fine.
- 1:07You're like, oh, those ones in zeros.
- 1:09No, no, no. Look at the code.
- 1:10Now look at the code. OK, it's great.
- 1:13What are you looking at? Python?
- 1:14What do you? What are you having to write
- 1:15stuff in? I'm reluctant to say Rust
- 1:17because I know you're going to make fun of me.
- 1:18No I'm not. I love Rust.
- 1:19I'm pro rust, right? Esoteric weirdo.
- 1:22I knew that was coming. I do.
- 1:24I really. I'm not.
- 1:24I'm not being a smart ass. I think it's a good choice.
- 1:27I really do. OK.
- 1:28It's like a solution looking for a problem that it'll never find.
- 1:31But I think it's great. Fantastic.
- 1:32OK, the industry's AI hits next. Let's go.
- 1:35I'm just happy that podcasting is safe.
- 1:55Coding was the Canary in the coal mine, but the mine just
- 1:57collapsed. If you thought AI was only
- 1:59coming for software engineers, think again.
- 2:01The era of pure digital disruption is over.
- 2:03The era of everything else has begun.
- 2:05I love that in your mind there's only two parts to the world.
- 2:09There's software engineering and then all the other stuff like
- 2:12that's it. What's your point?
- 2:13That's I mean, what's your point?
- 2:14I'm just saying I appreciate that you think that way where
- 2:16you're just like you're either making software, you're doing
- 2:18one of the other things. From the operating room to the
- 2:20courtroom, algorithms have graduated from writing scripts
- 2:23to making life altering decisions.
- 2:25We're watching 5 pillars of the global economy, healthcare,
- 2:28finance, retail, manufacturing and law undergo a total
- 2:31structural rewrite. It's no longer about a chat bot
- 2:34answering emails. It's about autonomous agents
- 2:36managing portfolios, robots designing their own parts and
- 2:40diagnostics that see what humans miss.
- 2:42The sandbox period is over. It's time to take a hard look at
- 2:45the five industries currently being dismantled and rebuilt by
- 2:48AI, and why the changes are moving faster than anyone
- 2:51predicted. OK, so let me understand this
- 2:53straight. Yes, yes.
- 2:53You have a list of industries that AI is going to to decimate.
- 2:56I do. And I have a list, yes.
- 2:57So we're gonna we're gonna like take turns giving our
- 3:00prognostication about which will interlace.
- 3:02OK. And that's good.
- 3:03Good. Use the word interlace.
- 3:04Thank you. And we'll prognosticate about
- 3:05which industries are likely to be the next that are disrupted.
- 3:07Is that sort of? I mean, nobody really knows for
- 3:09sure though, right? Oh no, I do I I my list is not
- 3:11so much a list as is the answer. Sheet.
- 3:12Oh, that's what we're gonna do now.
- 3:13I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I see.
- 3:15So I'll try to guess the right ones.
- 3:16OK, the short answer is anything that involves structured logic
- 3:19and high fidelity replication. Great, the only things in life I
- 3:22find enjoying pretty much great. Awesome.
- 3:25So chaos isn't being replaced yet?
- 3:26That'll be awesome. Not so much, no.
- 3:28But we say structured logic that tells me like the real estate
- 3:31agents are going to be fine 'cause there's not a lot of
- 3:33logic going on over there. Yeah, but the way houses are
- 3:35shown, sure. The paperwork especially like in
- 3:37California where the paperwork's somewhat complex, Yeah, that'll
- 3:40all go away. That'll all change.
- 3:41It's. Just not the same when you take
- 3:42the AI and you put the low cut top on it, no and shove it into
- 3:45a, you know, a Mercedes S class. It doesn't.
- 3:47It's not but. You can see the tops of its
- 3:48transistors. You can't see the good ones.
- 3:51The AI's that sell the homes are the ones show off a couple
- 3:53transistors at the showing. They're just like, hey, look
- 3:55over here, look at all look at my dims and if you're really
- 3:59lucky I'll show you one of its dim slots.
- 4:02My AI agent likes to have two dims put into its slots at the
- 4:05same time. That's what it's I'm sure it
- 4:07does. It prefers to be double bang.
- 4:08Please stop, I'm begging you. I'm more of a raid one sort of
- 4:11girl. Oh, OK.
- 4:14It's fun to have jokes. Knowing we'll get legal services
- 4:16is my number one that I'm going to throw out there.
- 4:18The legal industry is moving past.
- 4:20Good job Kreskin. Amazing.
- 4:22But I think it's going to get even worse, I think now I, I
- 4:25think you still have law firms who are still, yes, clinging to
- 4:28the old ways of doing. Things, well, you're always
- 4:29going to have that, that, that that's not going to change.
- 4:31I think you're always going to folks that just don't adapt to
- 4:33the change. But I think those people are
- 4:35going to be slowly finding themselves with less and less
- 4:38work. I would disagree with you about
- 4:40slowly. Yeah, I don't have to be
- 4:41anything slow about that. I mean, there are so many kids
- 4:44who just graduated law school and instead of hiring 20 kids
- 4:47fresh out of law school, most big firms will pick up two or
- 4:49three. And those two or three all think
- 4:51they had oh, I made it. I made the No, you didn't.
- 4:53Yeah, you made the cut for this week.
- 4:54It begs the question though, with the power of these
- 4:57efficiency tools, what is the number of of lawyers that we
- 5:00need? Has that number gone up, down,
- 5:02or stayed the same? It's.
- 5:03Probably gone way down. Think how fast AI may generate a
- 5:06contract and that contract, but look at kind of contemplate all
- 5:09sorts of things that that individual lawyer might not have
- 5:12contemplated if he's never written that particular contract
- 5:14before. Great point, but I've got 2
- 5:16counterpoints to this one. If you believe that AI is going
- 5:19to make a bunch of industries more efficient, which I think we
- 5:21can all kind of agree that that's going to happen, yeah,
- 5:23then you can do more. And if you can do more, you're
- 5:26going to need more, right? You're going to need more,
- 5:28especially legalese. So I don't know what the balance
- 5:30is, but we keep applying like, oh, well, the legal stuff that
- 5:33we're currently doing, we need we're going to be able to do
- 5:36much more efficiently. Well, yeah, maybe it goes down
- 5:38by, let's say an efficiency factor of 80%.
- 5:40A massive number. Yeah.
- 5:41Well, if you get 5X the amount of stuff that comes out of it
- 5:43that you need, then you're you're even Steve.
- 5:45Think. About it in a really big case
- 5:47where you've subpoenaed a ton of e-mail for sure.
- 5:50I mean, there's millions. Discovery analysis and yeah.
- 5:52Yes, exactly. For sure.
- 5:53And all of a sudden the AI is going to do that in like a
- 5:56matter of seconds. Of course, but like how many
- 5:58attorneys out there are going, oh man, you know what I love
- 6:01doing? I love reading Discovery.
- 6:03That's my favorite. Thing, but it's a huge part of
- 6:05the job. No, I get now we don't need
- 6:06those hours. Those billable hours are gone.
- 6:08I get that. But we have the opportunity to
- 6:11do more things with what was previously those billable hours.
- 6:13I don't really know. I'm not trying to be
- 6:15provocative. I really think there is this
- 6:17opportunity where we can do more because we have more tooling
- 6:20behind it. So if we can do more, you may
- 6:23need more effort from for more attorneys.
- 6:24I don't know if it's going to go up by 10% or down or down by
- 6:2780%. I just don't know.
- 6:28But I suspect those things are going to balance each other out.
- 6:30Yeah. If you're, if you're right now
- 6:31spending, let's make up a number and say 10 grand to draft a
- 6:34contract from your legal firm and you know they're going to
- 6:36bill you for whatever 12 hours to understand what you're trying
- 6:39to do, the deal you're trying to do and craft a contract.
- 6:41If it all gets replaced with $0.10 of compute, what is the
- 6:44value now that your your attorney is providing?
- 6:46They're steering the AI, but they just marking up their time
- 6:48more. Yeah.
- 6:49At first it's steering the AI and it's making sure the AI.
- 6:52Bias and hallucinity and not so much anymore, but.
- 6:55Yeah, all that goes away, all that diminishes overtime.
- 6:57What? Does the role of the lawyer
- 6:59become, is it, are they just the one taking liability?
- 7:02Are they just putting the liability shield saying, well,
- 7:03you're using my LLM's, so now we're the liability shield on
- 7:06your contracts? I don't know.
- 7:07I'm I'm making stuff. Up yeah, I don't know, I don't
- 7:09know what the value add. Is but right now you're like,
- 7:11oh, hey, attorney, you've been doing this for 20 years.
- 7:14What's your thoughts of like, am I gonna win in this case?
- 7:16Right. If you're litigating, I think
- 7:17when you get that into data analytics and you get that into
- 7:19the world of compute, that just becomes a number that it's been
- 7:22doubt that you of course aren't going to trust.
- 7:24You're going to be like, Oh yeah, 97.6% chance of winning
- 7:26this case. I don't believe you, but that's
- 7:27going to get really interesting. That's a little bit like looking
- 7:30at these stats of the basketball teams and trying to predict
- 7:33who's going to win. You do actually have to play the
- 7:35game. Sure.
- 7:35You do have to actually get in front of the jury.
- 7:36You do have to actually get in front of the judge, present your
- 7:39case and be the guy who's got the best looking suit on and all
- 7:42the things that help you in persuading people that you are
- 7:44someone who is of merit that they should listen to.
- 7:47But you are presuming that the judge stays the way the judge is
- 7:50when the judge just becomes like a Ticketmaster.
- 7:52Event window that opens and you just must submit your case by
- 7:5510:00 PM on Thursday the 12th. And then you just jam it in and
- 7:59it just spits out an answer. Like what then I like that idea
- 8:02because I think you can probably get a less prejudice judge if an
- 8:07AI is the judge. If you get a thing more you, I
- 8:09would hope I would. I mean, certainly that's what's
- 8:11happening in baseball in the strike zone.
- 8:13A person who was normally judging, is this a ball, is this
- 8:16a strike is now very, very accurately.
- 8:19So we can all see, yeah, applying the law is the same for
- 8:22everyone. If you you assume you're already
- 8:23gonna have a big offset in the lawyering, right?
- 8:25The lawyers are going to be. Yeah, utilizing AI, you're gonna
- 8:28have less lawyers. Should the same happen on the
- 8:30judge and clerking side? Should it be?
- 8:32Yeah, sort of equal? It kind of makes sense, I guess,
- 8:34right? One should necessarily lead the
- 8:35other. We've solved the problem.
- 8:37I like it. Yeah, no good work.
- 8:38Your turn, Sir. OK, I like legal that I think
- 8:40that is kind of an obvious one. I'm gonna let you do the obvious
- 8:42ones 'cause you want your list to be perfect or whatever.
- 8:44I'm gonna I wanna take some some swings.
- 8:46Yes, fashion, fashion I'm. Gobsmacked.
- 8:49Tell me more fashion and apparel.
- 8:50Yeah, here's. The thought I have you've got so
- 8:52much material so like you have to kind of guess that people are
- 8:56gonna like your stuff and then you have to guess the sizes.
- 8:59Right. And team who already did this
- 9:01sort of just in time manufacturing where they try to
- 9:03analyze trends. Yeah.
- 9:04Show you a product that doesn't actually exist.
- 9:07Sure. And then you go Oh yeah, I'd buy
- 9:08those and then they they make them right.
- 9:09It's the sort of this on demand. But they've already sold you the
- 9:12product before it even existed Yeah.
- 9:14As a physical good. Once you sort of see that I
- 9:16don't understand how we keep doing what we've been doing
- 9:18right. The whole like, make a product
- 9:20six months ahead of time, ship it out and then let the tailors
- 9:23deal with clearance stock and all that.
- 9:25I think they call it dead stock. All that stuff that nobody
- 9:27wants. Yeah.
- 9:27So what if you just if you rethink that through the the
- 9:29eyes of AI and manufacturing effectively, like sewing
- 9:32machines become the 3D printers of clothes.
- 9:35And now you've got an AI looking at trends and just going like,
- 9:38hey, my, my cost to make this stuff is nominal.
- 9:40Yeah. And I see this current trend on
- 9:41TikTok that is people running around in marshmallow suits and
- 9:44you're just like, I can make you a marshmallow suit custom
- 9:47tailored to your size. Yeah.
- 9:48Now you don't take the viral part You don't.
- 9:50I mean, I assume you would always take the sizing part, but
- 9:52now clothes just become this thing that is completely custom
- 9:55for. You well even the sizing could
- 9:56be yes, that's. What I mean the sizing, yeah.
- 9:58Can look at you over and say I can make that perfectly for you,
- 10:01yes. You've done a little body scan
- 10:02with your phone. Everyone's listening to the
- 10:04show's phone has LIDAR on it by now, right?
- 10:06So you do like a little scan of yourself and then you pump it
- 10:09into some equation. Some algorithm looks at it and
- 10:11goes, OK, this is how big you are, this is how you cut the
- 10:13stuff. And now you want to get that
- 10:14jacket that you saw online. It just cuts the jacket for you
- 10:17and sends it to you. I, I don't see a world where
- 10:19something like that doesn't happen.
- 10:20It just seems so obvious. To me.
- 10:22But I like to go and try on clothes and see how they look on
- 10:25me. Oh yeah, I mean, I guess.
- 10:26You're right, we could never solve that problem with
- 10:28software. There's no way how would we ever
- 10:30put I can literally render Benjamin Franklin oil wrestling
- 10:34with Thomas Jefferson and you're like, oh, how would it put
- 10:36clothes on me? I.
- 10:37Have no idea how would I look in that sport jacket.
- 10:39Right? It's not possible.
- 10:40Anyway, I don't know, I see something like this.
- 10:42I can't tell you exactly when it's gonna happen, but I do feel
- 10:44like a big chunk of that industry is gonna get replaced.
- 10:47Especially you think about all the the management around the,
- 10:50the sort of logistics of the the dead stock and just moving stock
- 10:52around. Huh.
- 10:53I think that's going to get wiped out.
- 10:54I'm not entirely sure how the manufacturing process is going
- 10:57to get changed so that you can have an autonomous system build
- 11:00clothes soup to nuts. Yeah, to a given size.
- 11:02But I do feel like that's a relatively easy to easy medium
- 11:05problem to solve. And when that's solved, one, we
- 11:07might actually get manufacturing back closer to here because now
- 11:11what have you eliminated your marginal human cost?
- 11:13Right. So now you can just deploy the
- 11:14stuff in, you know, a warehouse in Arizona and it just cranks
- 11:17out clothes. If you're a manufacturing depot
- 11:19that can make stuff. All of a sudden, brands become
- 11:22just marketing. And now, like, do you have to
- 11:23have your own factory that makes jackets as long as they can make
- 11:26it to your same specs? You have a set of factories that
- 11:28makes jackets all over the country.
- 11:30And then you put your brand on be like, well, mine's brown and
- 11:32looks like this and like I stamped my brand on it.
- 11:35Every piece of clothing becomes custom.
- 11:36The only reason we couldn't do it before is because we had no
- 11:39way to manufacture stuff at that scale.
- 11:41Yeah. You basically put everybody into
- 11:42smaller boxes. And you say we've got 6 sizes.
- 11:44You can have any size you want as long as it's one of these
- 11:46six. And once you go, well, no.
- 11:48If I, if I can make the stuff and ship it cheaply, Amazon's
- 11:50figured how to ship stuff cheaply.
- 11:52Yeah. So now like it can all be one
- 11:53off and that is. Super cool.
- 11:55To me, that is kind of cool. That is kind of cool.
- 11:57The creative side of it still baffles me a bit.
- 11:59I I still think you need someone who dreams up Yes what these
- 12:03things will look like at some point.
- 12:04And I think though at some point that's going to get steamrolled
- 12:07out, but at least for let's say the first part of this process,
- 12:10yes, you want someone that's picking the trends and saying
- 12:12this is what looks good and what doesn't.
- 12:13But at some point if it if you're the clothing zeitgeist,
- 12:16the AI clothing zeitgeist just kind of figures it out.
- 12:18How do you drive the direction? I think it just becomes like a
- 12:21like, almost like an influencer thing.
- 12:22Yeah. Whoever gets the most views
- 12:24becomes the one that's driving that.
- 12:25Direction, I guess there are actually still designers like I
- 12:28think back a few years I have things that are from Calvin
- 12:31Klein that I really like of course that were because Calvin
- 12:34Klein in his mind saw things a certain way.
- 12:36Yeah. They're not vastly different
- 12:38from everybody else's clothing. Sure, they're different enough
- 12:40that I go, oh, I like. That, but I suspect there will
- 12:42be more James purses. I don't know, man.
- 12:44That's a one-of-a-kind brain. I don't think there's a ton of
- 12:46those. When Ralph Lauren sold his
- 12:47company, yeah, I have a hunch that all the assets of the
- 12:51business walked out the door between his ears.
- 12:53There's a pretty big asset in the brand.
- 12:54I think in terms of growing the brand, most of that was probably
- 12:57between his ears. Sure.
- 12:58I'm looking at this differently. Are there brains out there that
- 13:01can design things like a Loren or a Pierce that currently
- 13:05aren't because they haven't come across the Capitol?
- 13:07Or maybe. So I think this unlocks those.
- 13:10Yeah, You get more of those. I'm not saying everybody should.
- 13:12I'm not saying you and I should be designing pants, although I
- 13:14think we should it be really funny.
- 13:15No, But the point is there's a larger subset of people that can
- 13:19design clothing well than the ones that are currently, and I
- 13:21think this unlocks that. Yeah.
- 13:22Anyway, legal. Yeah.
- 13:23Amazing that you came up with that.
- 13:25Such a such a Yeah. Prophetic.
- 13:26Thing fashion is pretty good. I don't think that's happening
- 13:28anytime soon, but I think that's very cool and I like where
- 13:30you're going with. It's already happening though.
- 13:32You're already seeing this on T move.
- 13:33Let me come back to one now that's that's happening right
- 13:36now. Another layup.
- 13:37OK, it's another. Layup.
- 13:38I'll give you another layup, accounting services.
- 13:40Wow, man. Wow.
- 13:42Accounting isn't just being disrupted, it's being
- 13:43structurally rewritten. The industry has moved past
- 13:45simple automation into a genetic accounting where AI doesn't just
- 13:48suggest edits, it executes the workflow.
- 13:50Yeah, data entries long gone. I mean, that's that's long gone.
- 13:53You snap a picture of a bunch of receipts and they all get put in
- 13:56perfect. Sure.
- 13:57The only reason AI came for software development before
- 14:01accounting was because AI was built by software developers and
- 14:04we wanted to help ourselves. Yeah, they wanted to make their
- 14:06own lives easy, but I would. Argue.
- 14:07The only thing that is more logically straightforward than
- 14:10software development is accounting.
- 14:12Like, yeah, I'm pretty sure let's say I'm around like 15
- 14:15years ago, you could just feed everything into Clippy and it
- 14:18could have done all this. Microsoft just wanted to sell
- 14:20more Great Plains licenses and they didn't do it.
- 14:22Like, I don't feel like this is a far stretch to be able to just
- 14:25feed everything and be like, here's your answer and just.
- 14:27Spits it up. I think currently we're probably
- 14:28at a point where bookkeeping is maybe 80% touchless.
- 14:31That's gonna be 100% in the blink of an eye.
- 14:33Yeah. Is it is 80% based on what
- 14:35baseline? What?
- 14:36Like what are you measuring back?
- 14:37Because you've got, you still have to categorize transactions.
- 14:40You've got to flag anomalies. No, I understand, but you're
- 14:42saying it's all? That's gonna get fixed.
- 14:44It's 80% touchless. Yeah, of all like the total
- 14:46volume of work. OK, I see what you're saying.
- 14:48I see what? Yeah.
- 14:48I mean, most of that now is can be automated.
- 14:50Most of that the AI can figure out.
- 14:52There's still just a handful of things where you just going to
- 14:54know what category to put this. Under 80% might be a low
- 14:57watermark currently. I don't know.
- 14:58I feel like it's higher. We have to talk to some, some
- 15:00big enterprise accountants to see like, I'm sure they all want
- 15:02to preserve their job and their partner status, But I feel like
- 15:04a lot of those things now are doable.
- 15:06Like, what are you really still touching?
- 15:08What's the thing you're still doing?
- 15:09I feel like, and I mean, I've been saying this now for at
- 15:11least two, if not 3 decades. Tax preparation.
- 15:14Well, that's the big one. Why there's a human in that
- 15:16chain makes no sense to me. Yeah.
- 15:17I'm 100% with you on this one. OK.
- 15:19Amazing foresight. Incredible.
- 15:20Thank you. Has anybody else come up with
- 15:21this? No one, just me.
- 15:23The amount of thought and effort you must have put into figuring
- 15:24out that accounting is gonna be replaced by AI.
- 15:26I'm like Kreskin. This one I I would put under the
- 15:28bucket of layup, but I don't it doesn't get talked about a lot.
- 15:31Oh, you're doing a layup now? It's layup.
- 15:32Esque yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I want to give you a bone
- 15:35here on this one. Education, I think education and
- 15:37specifically like what we would now call tutoring like a custom
- 15:40education development. Yes, that to me.
- 15:43I'm gonna interrupt you and just say this is also my #3 so we can
- 15:46combine and just discuss it because this is this is the
- 15:48exact #3 that I. Have, oh, jumping on the
- 15:50bandwagon. OK, Yeah, All right.
- 15:52Well, I told you is an easy one. When you come in to do the
- 15:54layups, you know I don't do, That's what I.
- 15:55Do I think that becomes the alley oop?
- 15:57I don't know anything about basketball.
- 15:59No, clearly. It does seem like again, go like
- 16:01go back to the example I used with yes, clothes.
- 16:04We made clothes in different sizes because you could only
- 16:06make a finite number of sizes. The number had to be relatively
- 16:08small. You just get the fit in one.
- 16:10They call that the assortment. Yes, I think the same thing for
- 16:12education. We teach.
- 16:14We have taught in a way because we did one-size-fits-all a
- 16:16better way. Yeah.
- 16:18And we had found ways like, OK, hey, we're going to do a
- 16:20lecture, and then we're going to do some homework.
- 16:21And then I'm thinking about, like, secondary school here.
- 16:23Yeah. And then you're going to have
- 16:24labs Like those are all different ways to teach the same
- 16:27material. And if you missed a lesson or
- 16:29you didn't comprehend a concept in, say, mathematics, yeah, and
- 16:33you didn't figure that out, you were one of those students that
- 16:35just fell behind and fell behind and fell behind.
- 16:37And getting worse, especially for things like in math where
- 16:39things stack up and if you don't get one of those concepts, you
- 16:42are absolutely hosed. The AI can see you're not
- 16:44getting this concept. They can keep teaching you that
- 16:46and showing it to you in different ways until eventually
- 16:49the light goes on and you go, oh, that's.
- 16:51It also the other version of that, which is the, oh, you
- 16:54already know these things. We don't want you to get bored.
- 16:56You don't spend time on this. Let's rocket you into the things
- 16:59that you don't know. Be able to dial in the education
- 17:01to what is is the best for your human.
- 17:03I think, right. Some people refer to this like
- 17:04it's like the infinite Socratic method because now everyone can
- 17:07have their own sort of Socratic method.
- 17:09Once I start thinking this way, I can't like, I don't even know
- 17:12why we're still teaching the way we're teaching right now.
- 17:14Yeah, right. I mean, I know logistically it's
- 17:15mainly because you've got to get the teaching staff up to speed
- 17:17on this and that it's not going to be a a short or easy process
- 17:20that's going to take some time. Well, that's why the tutoring
- 17:21will go first. What do you mean?
- 17:23Because you don't have to. Be credentialed tutor.
- 17:24You can be a tutor. You can be a fabulous tutor and
- 17:27have no credentials. Now you can go and you can go
- 17:29online and you can talk to the AI and it can tutor you.
- 17:32That will happen before the classroom education system in
- 17:35schools begins to. Be a sure yeah, that's what
- 17:36you're saying. Just 'cause it it can get there
- 17:38faster. Yeah, there's less resistance.
- 17:40For all sorts. That's a good point.
- 17:41Yeah, that's a good point. And I think the the tutoring
- 17:42should ultimately go away. To me, the tutoring should be
- 17:44the learning, like what we now call tutoring should become the
- 17:47learning. As you know, I have taught many
- 17:48people to do code, and I enjoy the process of watching the
- 17:50lights go on. Sure.
- 17:51As I communicate things in many different ways until I
- 17:54eventually get them. Oh, yeah.
- 17:56Oh, yeah. OK, great.
- 17:57And they now I just. That all goes away.
- 17:59The last guy that I taught to code.
- 18:01Yeah. AI was in existence.
- 18:03Yeah. And I said here's what you're
- 18:05gonna do. Yeah.
- 18:05You're gonna download this compiler.
- 18:07And I actually started him on Rust.
- 18:09I said, you're gonna download this Rust compiler.
- 18:11You're gonna install it on your machine.
- 18:12I don't know how to do that. Yeah.
- 18:13Yeah, that's right. You're gonna go to Gemini and
- 18:15you're gonna ask it, how do I install a Rust compiler?
- 18:17Taught him how to fix. Yeah.
- 18:18Yeah. And I kept walking him through
- 18:19the little bits. Yeah.
- 18:20And I taught him Gemini. Yeah.
- 18:21And he went, oh, that's how you do it.
- 18:22Now write me a program that does this.
- 18:24And Gemini helps him, gives him all the code and everything.
- 18:26And he starts. Yeah.
- 18:27And little by little by little, the lights were coming on so
- 18:29fast and I did almost nothing. Literally in an evening, he
- 18:33learned to the big the basics of coding.
- 18:34Toward the end of the evening, I said, now go to Gemini and ask
- 18:37what's another project I should have?
- 18:38What's a little another little coding project I should do that
- 18:40can teach me something slightly new, you know, just a little bit
- 18:43of new stuff. Yeah.
- 18:44And he started doing that and work great.
- 18:45And as I walked out the door, the very last thing I said to
- 18:47him is now I want you to go to the AI and I want you to ask it
- 18:50what is GitHub? OK.
- 18:52And by the next day he was committing his code.
- 18:55He knew what he was doing. It was like, this is the easy.
- 18:57I've never had such an easy time teaching someone how to do
- 19:00something. This is wonderful.
- 19:02This is customized learning, and I think that's what's so
- 19:04amazing. More importantly, you taught
- 19:05that individual how to fish. Yeah, that's to me is the most
- 19:07amazing. Part, but mostly Gemini did the
- 19:09work of. Course, that's the fishing part.
- 19:11Yes, yes. And he'd never used an AI
- 19:13before. He literally never used an AI.
- 19:14He was blown away. But I need some sort of what
- 19:16they call a command line to be able to get this to load.
- 19:19Well, ask Gemini. It'll tell you how to do it as
- 19:21you. Go around the Rubicon and I've
- 19:22started to find, cause I've done this with people where they were
- 19:25like, you know, call me for things and I'm like, well, let
- 19:27me just show you like it'd be 20 years ago.
- 19:28You show people how to Google stuff.
- 19:30Yeah. And then that was sort of like
- 19:31the answer. And then you still get some
- 19:32calls will trickle through. Now you sort of show them how to
- 19:34Gemini stuff. Or whatever other AI I'm not
- 19:36pushing Gemini, of course, of course, of course.
- 19:38Yeah, yeah. Just what any any other thing
- 19:40should. I put you talk about a search
- 19:41now you sort of teach them how to how to query an AI.
- 19:43No, sure. They don't need us.
- 19:44Nobody. Calls me anymore.
- 19:45They don't need anything. Taught everybody how to like Oh
- 19:48this is what it feels like to be the buggy whip salesman guy.
- 19:51Should we move on to my next one layup?
- 19:52Absolutely. Architecture and construction
- 19:54design. Oh, I.
- 19:55Wouldn't call it a layup. It has become a layup in my mind
- 19:58because I've just used it remodeling my son's bathroom and
- 20:01basically photographing the space and inputting the
- 20:05photographs and saying now how can I more usefully use this
- 20:08space? OK.
- 20:08And it created several potential layouts, one of which was the
- 20:12one OK. I went with was this a custom
- 20:13construction AI or just like like regular old Gemini?
- 20:16No, this is regular old Gemini. This is bland, boring as it gets
- 20:21really, and it laid out out the room.
- 20:23Now I weeded through some some choices, but it laid out the
- 20:26room. Beautiful.
- 20:26This one's got a giant dolphin on the wall.
- 20:28That's out what? What is this?
- 20:30A fireman's pole? That's out.
- 20:32Like what? Did you give?
- 20:33It a did you give it a floor plan or just pictures just.
- 20:36Pictures, Pictures. Wow, that's impressive.
- 20:39Yeah. Did you give it any measurements
- 20:40or did it just assume them or infer them?
- 20:42I guess infer them. It inferred them exactly.
- 20:43It inferred measure. Stud spacing or something like
- 20:45that. I don't know exactly how it did
- 20:47it. Whatever, somehow with the right
- 20:48measurements. Oh, I always.
- 20:49Should have been at your house. I would have totally screwed
- 20:51with it. I would have bought like an
- 20:52oversized size beach or like a like a basketball, it was three
- 20:55times the size and put it in there so that it thinks your
- 20:57entire bedroom is miniature. That's really cool.
- 21:00Yeah. I did not expect you to say that
- 21:02that. You would and all sorts of
- 21:03things that are code now, yeah. I mean I took pictures of inside
- 21:07the walls and everything when the walls were.
- 21:08Open. Wait a minute.
- 21:09What's Wait a minute? What is California code for
- 21:10where I live? How is this supposed to be?
- 21:12Yes, and it knows. So you're basically saying that
- 21:16good old vanilla beige Gemini, Yeah, is is smarter than 98% of
- 21:21the contractors out there? I can't speak for the
- 21:23contractors, but I can tell you Jim and I had everything pretty
- 21:26much exactly right. Wow, that, that is, yeah, pretty
- 21:29impressive. That is cool.
- 21:30Local Los Angeles building codes, there's all sorts of
- 21:33requirements and things that you have to do, and you've got to
- 21:35take your stuff into the plan check.
- 21:37Yeah. But if you want the teeter
- 21:38totter, if you want things to continue to go faster, you got
- 21:40to fix the other side too, which is the plan check.
- 21:42Plan check should be using AI for sure.
- 21:45Yeah because humans are looking over that.
- 21:46It's a ridiculous process. The reason that architecture is
- 21:49so similar to accounting and coding is the rulebook.
- 21:52Coding has syntax, accounting has gap and tax law.
- 21:55Yeah, architecture has physics and building codes.
- 21:58That's it's a very simple thing that you can see why we iterate
- 22:01from one to the other. They're all very similar.
- 22:03Sure. Your turn, Sir.
- 22:05Let me do my next one here. This one is is I think probably
- 22:07the most controversial that I'm willing to bring up in this
- 22:09particular setting. Yes, this is not going to make a
- 22:11lot of friends, but I think it's a really good idea.
- 22:13Yeah, insurance and and specifically the the actuarial
- 22:17science behind it. This is, I think something that
- 22:20makes people, a lot of people queasy.
- 22:22But this this could be something where you're paying truly
- 22:24tailored insurance. Think if you could dial in the
- 22:28exact amount of premium for the exact amount of risk that you
- 22:31are creating. That's kind of fascinating.
- 22:33That's really the way that it should be.
- 22:35Now all the people that are high risk, of course are gonna hate
- 22:37this idea because. They're gonna pay bar in
- 22:39premium. Sure.
- 22:40Yeah, Right now they're getting a free ride.
- 22:42Or not a free ride, but a partially free ride.
- 22:44Yeah. And all the people that are low
- 22:45risk, I assume would love this idea because they're low risk.
- 22:47But I love the idea of it being real time or near real time.
- 22:51I think this is controversial because there's nothing about
- 22:53this I don't, I don't like the idea of because there are areas
- 22:56where I think I might be considered a higher risk bucket.
- 22:58Sure. But like for example, we talked
- 22:59on the show some time ago about the the folks that were buying
- 23:02cars and part of their contract was offloading their driving
- 23:06data to their insurer. Yeah, right.
- 23:08That was built in as part of their contract.
- 23:09This is the problem with having AI looking at insurance data.
- 23:13Well, but now you've got you certainly have some let's set it
- 23:14aside the privacy constraints for a second, right?
- 23:16You have some real privacy risks, but the idea of being
- 23:18able to dial in insurance, like if you are consistently driving
- 23:22your radically and changing lanes without signaling and, you
- 23:25know, speeding at 2X the speed limit, you are without a doubt a
- 23:29higher risk. Sure, right.
- 23:30Sure. And if you have some basic guy
- 23:31that can detect if you're driving when you're intoxicated,
- 23:34you are a higher risk. Yeah, you should be paying a
- 23:36higher premium. That should be the case.
- 23:37Or maybe not even driving. And if you're not doing those
- 23:40things, you should pay a less premium.
- 23:41To me, driving is the easy. One driving is the first one to
- 23:43go away because autonomous driving, yes, exactly.
- 23:45So nipping at its heels that it won't really matter.
- 23:47But you know it's not going to go away.
- 23:49My new GE monogram fridge that when I open the fridge and it
- 23:52goes yes, hey chubby, we see you grab the cake at 2:00 AM.
- 23:56Maybe put that back or your healthcare premiums are going up
- 23:59by 8 bucks a month. Like you want that and you don't
- 24:02want. So many privacy issues here.
- 24:04I I right, I am grimacing at the.
- 24:06Privacy. But let's let's just assume for
- 24:08a moment we can solve the privacy issue.
- 24:10Let's assume for a moment that you can make this all run
- 24:12locally, which is feasible. Huge jump.
- 24:14I don't think it's that huge of a jump.
- 24:15You could run everything locally.
- 24:17You could have everything so that it's not putting back any
- 24:19PII. Like let's just assume for a
- 24:21second there's a path. Is this a world we want to live
- 24:23in? And I'll tell you honestly, I
- 24:25don't know, 'cause part of me is like, yes, absolutely.
- 24:27And part of me is like, this is a terrible idea.
- 24:30Terrible. And that's what be setting the
- 24:31the privacy constraints aside. But the current version is, you
- 24:35know, one size fits most and that's not a better solution,
- 24:38so. Much of the hey fatty, you
- 24:40probably shouldn't have that piece of cake at 3:00 AM in the
- 24:42morning. And and you can say, look, my
- 24:44genetics can handle it. No, it would know that your
- 24:46genetics can't. No, no, I'm saying specifically
- 24:48the one that would talk to me would say, hey fatty, you can't
- 24:50have the. Cake, I know your.
- 24:51Genetics can handle. They would just like, Sir, would
- 24:53you like more cake? That's exactly what it should
- 24:54do, right? It should know these things.
- 24:56That's the whole point of the customization.
- 24:57That's a bigger problem. If it starts assessing premiums
- 25:00based on what it knows about your genetics, that's even even
- 25:02bigger issue. Isn't that the whole freaking
- 25:04point again, set the privacy. It's a concern because of
- 25:07privacy. Again, I'm really torn on this.
- 25:09I feel like I'm I'm running down the path of the Mobius strip and
- 25:12I keep going from the one side of this is a good idea.
- 25:15It's the other side of this is a terrible idea, but I'm on the
- 25:17same side the entire time like it's not.
- 25:19I really don't know the answer to it because it really should
- 25:22be dialed in. The amount of risk that you're
- 25:23creating. That is the right answer.
- 25:25But here's the there's one thing I know for sure.
- 25:27There's not much I'm confident of one thing.
- 25:29I'm confident of this. This this is not going to go
- 25:30away. Yeah.
- 25:31You have this tool. We now have to figure out how to
- 25:33wrestle with it. Yeah.
- 25:34So we've got to solve this and find some middle ground where I
- 25:37don't think you're going to find happiness.
- 25:38I think you're going to find a, a tighter pendulum swing.
- 25:40You're just going to have like, you're just going to be less bad
- 25:43and less good. Just kind of like, OK, this
- 25:45feels like this is probably the middle.
- 25:46What else you got? Let's so my last one is going to
- 25:50offend everyone I know in my neighborhood and that is I think
- 25:53acting is basically going away. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a
- 25:55good one. OK, well, you say the best ones
- 25:57for last. Yeah, the.
- 25:58The ones, the actors who are brand names, the ones who bring
- 26:01the sell tickets, sure, right. Those people are still good
- 26:03because that's a, that's a viable brand.
- 26:05You're actually selling tickets. You're opening a movie or
- 26:06whatever you're doing. Everybody else, your part can be
- 26:09created by an AI. And yeah, it's not going to ask
- 26:12for a break to go to the bathroom where it's not going to
- 26:14arrive late on the set because it hit traffic and sure, all
- 26:17those things are going to just evaporate.
- 26:19Sorry, there was there was a lot of data going between LAX 01 and
- 26:22SO 2 on the fiber, so I'm a little late to show up for the
- 26:26casting. So I'm a now a second late.
- 26:27I OK, so first of all, this is awesome.
- 26:30The here's the really good news from from a acting perspective.
- 26:34Yes, this gives real opportunity for acting to all of the ugly
- 26:39people, because now all of the ugly people can make their own.
- 26:42Get a job too. Virtual.
- 26:44No. Well, that's just I just
- 26:46neutered that one now, didn't it?
- 26:48Because now they can make you don't.
- 26:50You're not going to have a finite set of actors.
- 26:51I would argue if anything with AI, you're going to get more
- 26:54actors, more virtual actors. And now those, those can be
- 26:57creative. Yeah.
- 26:57The fascinating part to me is you think about like, what is
- 27:00acting? And now you can create that.
- 27:02And that, to me, is kind of amazing.
- 27:04Yeah, it's not that films are going away.
- 27:05It's not that entertainment is going away.
- 27:07It's just how we make it is completely changed.
- 27:09Yes, there's a big sag after a negotiation 2026 that.
- 27:12Yeah, that was concerned about likeness and rights issues.
- 27:15Yeah, that's not gonna matter for those people who aren't
- 27:17brand names, those people whose faces haven't been out there who
- 27:20can open a movie. I would argue even for the the
- 27:23people that have brands and our brand names, the people that are
- 27:26brand names, they're gonna have short term value in that.
- 27:29That's not a long term thing. I agree with you.
- 27:31It's different for them. Well, sure, but it's.
- 27:32Still, that is a short term, like long tail.
- 27:34These are your options as a as a human actor.
- 27:37You can either profit from your likeness or you cannot.
- 27:40That's it. There's no need to.
- 27:41But that's that's my. Why?
- 27:43Why do I spend 1 cent on you? If we're not a known value, who
- 27:46sells tickets? I can create a brand new human
- 27:49from the AI, sure. I don't need to have your like
- 27:51because I can just have some some other person created out of
- 27:54whole. Class, well, because maybe we
- 27:56need to shift to some of the value to the actors being in
- 27:59real life and what they do in real life.
- 28:01Because the one thing you don't have from a virtual AI actor is
- 28:04an in real life version of it. So your likeness does.
- 28:07It's harder to put them on The Tonight Show to promote your
- 28:09movie for sure. Now in The Tonight Show's all AI
- 28:12like that, I disagree with you there, but like for them to be
- 28:14out and actually meet a human. But then you get into this whole
- 28:17virtual influencer, which I am fascinated by, like these
- 28:20influencers that are completely 100 percent virtual.
- 28:23They're AI created. And then they go out, quote, UN
- 28:25quote, into the real world and take pictures with like, here I
- 28:28am with Mike Tyson at a Super Bowl party.
- 28:30And you're like, wait a minute, one of those is real, and one of
- 28:32those isn't. Yeah.
- 28:33And I believe it to be a real image.
- 28:35They've just, you know, superimposed the AI character.
- 28:38I'm not even sure it's a real image.
- 28:39Anymore, some of those I've seen I believe all.
- 28:40Can you tell I see tons of them now that are completely
- 28:43convincing. Yeah, I mean, it's it's, it's a
- 28:45very interesting world we're going into.
- 28:47My only point is I still think there is some value in the human
- 28:50AI actor over a completely pathetic one.
- 28:53But we're not, we're not making that valuable.
- 28:55We have to see what value that has.
- 28:57And it might not have as much as it we think it has previously or
- 28:59as much as it has now, but that's it.
- 29:01Your choice is you either get some value of your like this or
- 29:03you don't. Yeah.
- 29:03And now there's a whole new class of people that get to make
- 29:06AI actors that that did not exist a couple years ago.
- 29:09Pakistan and India both are creating feature films from AI
- 29:13fully generated feature films. Yeah.
- 29:16Now the first ones might be terrible, the 1st 20 might be
- 29:19terrible, but eventually somebody's going to figure out
- 29:21how I lean into the AI and do things that I, yeah, could never
- 29:24afford to do. Totally.
- 29:25If I receive and I had a tentpole budget, I couldn't do
- 29:28this. Couldn't do.
- 29:28This is more. Possible things that I can
- 29:31create in some way, yeah, that I can create super, super cheaply
- 29:34by just requesting this in the AI from prompting the AI to give
- 29:37me this shot. And here's the best part of
- 29:39that. They can make that entire
- 29:40production right tip to tail, and they don't have to close the
- 29:43streets in your neighborhood. Once.
- 29:44I love that. Some number of people in this
- 29:46industry here are going to embrace this, in addition to all
- 29:48the people that aren't in this industry, right?
- 29:49But some of the people here are going to embrace it, and those
- 29:51are going to be the ones that are going to win.
- 29:52I think you might have an advantage if you aren't in this
- 29:55industry. I think you might have an
- 29:56advantage of her coming. In some ways, because you don't.
- 29:58You're not held back by the legacy thought.
- 30:00In some ways, I think you're right.
- 30:01Yeah, exactly. You're you're thinking from a
- 30:03whole like the position of what it could be, not what it has
- 30:06been. Yeah.
- 30:06Yeah, I agree with that. I like this one.
- 30:08Acting. Acting is a good one.
- 30:09All right, that's my non layup. What's your last one My?
- 30:11Last one, maybe as controversial to me as insurance, maybe not,
- 30:16but I'll just I'll just throw this in here and this is 1 where
- 30:18I don't know what I want with the insurance side to happen.
- 30:20This one, don't you want to say it?
- 30:22But I'm going to say it. Cooking.
- 30:24Yeah. Food science.
- 30:25Yeah. I still don't know exactly where
- 30:27AI is going to find the most value in the cooking chain, but
- 30:31I already read somewhere I read some some article about an AI
- 30:35discovering that there are certain molecules in blue cheese
- 30:38and chocolate that were identical and they led to this
- 30:41this fusion dish that sounded absolutely disgusting.
- 30:45But then you taste. It's probably delicious, so.
- 30:46Amazing. So that kind of stuff.
- 30:48I don't see a world where that's not gonna happen, right?
- 30:50That's 100% gonna. Happen.
- 30:52I'm always amazed when I go to these molecular gastronomy Yep,
- 30:55tastings. And there's just things that
- 30:57sound absolutely disgusting and many of them are absolutely
- 31:00disgusting, but there's always a few that it's like, who in the
- 31:03world ever thought that up? That combination of flavors is
- 31:05fantastic. Absolutely.
- 31:07Anyway, I'm excited to see what happens there.
- 31:09But but I well, I I very much like you're you're acting
- 31:12entertainment. I think cooking is into the
- 31:13other one. That's going to be super
- 31:15interesting. I'm excited about.
- 31:16That I'm excited about the whole thing.
- 31:17Every aspect of this we've discussed.
- 31:19It will cause enormous disruption.
- 31:21It will be very hard. A lot of people, we are going to
- 31:23go through a seismic change in how people work.
- 31:27And you know what it's still going to be.
- 31:28It's really cool. Which one are you most excited
- 31:30about have of of change coming? Which one are you the least
- 31:33excited about change? I am the most excited about
- 31:35seeing movies that are made entirely on AI from someone who
- 31:39spends a couple of things of dollars with you and makes a
- 31:41tadpole movie. I am the least excited about
- 31:43seeing movies that are made by AI, and most of which are going
- 31:47to be just dreadful. Really.
- 31:49Oh yeah, there's just gonna be some awful, awful acting.
- 31:52Oh, but don't watch. Those they I will tell you not
- 31:53to watch those. Right, you guys, you're trying
- 31:55to watch, by the way, movies are #6 don't do that, right?
- 31:58People make really bad Movies Now.
- 32:00And yeah, you, you have to sort through and find the good ones
- 32:03too. But I think that's probably my,
- 32:04the one that I think is gonna be the most interesting.
- 32:06Oh, that's cute. It's gonna have both sides.
- 32:08I think I'm the most excited about the the creative explosion
- 32:11that I, I'm up the Mystic we're going to see with AI tools
- 32:14around what would call acting or entertainment.
- 32:16I'm actually very excited about that.
- 32:17Yeah. Which one am I least excited
- 32:18about? That's the question, man.
- 32:19I don't know. It's probably some somewhere
- 32:21between insurance and cooking and I don't, I have no good
- 32:24reason to tell you why. I guess I'm that's kind of a
- 32:26lie. I'm excited about all of these.
- 32:28I think these are all actually very excited.
- 32:29We picked ones that were exciting.
- 32:30That's true. All right.
- 32:31We have to get out here quickly before we do.
- 32:33Have you seen or read anything good this last week?
- 32:35Well, as you well know and I think most listeners do, I am an
- 32:38avid listener of Ben and David at the acquired podcast.
- 32:40Of course, like most the content that I enjoy, I try really hard
- 32:44not to binge it. I I like to spread my content
- 32:47without. I don't want to RIP through
- 32:48everything and then just hit the end.
- 32:49Yeah, that's not the way my brain works.
- 32:50So I usually reserve their episodes for long road trips.
- 32:54And last week, on the drive to Yosemite, I listened to their
- 32:56Formula One episode. Oh, yeah.
- 32:58It is a master class in business strategy.
- 33:01It's a fantastic story. Sure.
- 33:03It tracks F1's wild evolution from a deadly money losing
- 33:05European racing series into a $30 billion global powerhouse.
- 33:10Yeah. And whether you're a fan of the
- 33:11racing or just interested in how Liberty Media used Netflix to
- 33:14crack the US market and turn every team into a $1 billion
- 33:17plus asset, yeah, the deep dive is essential.
- 33:19Listening now, I'm a car fan. I'm a racing fan.
- 33:21I went to Formula One races when I was a kid.
- 33:23I've always loved it. You do not have to be a fan of
- 33:25cars or racing to enjoy this episode.
- 33:27It's really part like engineering World Cup, which the
- 33:30engineering in F1 is amazing, like insane.
- 33:32Second only maybe to NASA and the the ESA.
- 33:36It's part what they say, Real Housewives of the Garage, which
- 33:39I think is. Yeah, yeah, sure.
- 33:40Super cute and the whole thing is just entirely fast.
- 33:42So I think folks listen to our show would love this.
- 33:44It's acquired Formula One episode.
- 33:45This is from March of this year 2026 and I suggest you guys all
- 33:49goes into it wherever you get your podcasts.
- 33:50Awesome, awesome. How about you?
- 33:51Death by Lightning, a four part high stakes historical thriller
- 33:54detailing the assassination of President James A Garfield.
- 33:58Sounds boring? Not even close.
- 33:59Starring Michael Shannon is the intellectually brilliant
- 34:01Garfield and Matthew McFadden as his deluded killer.
- 34:04The series exposes a nation at a crossroads.
- 34:07Garfield's unwavering integrity stood against the tide of
- 34:10widespread graft and corruption personified by political Titans
- 34:13like Roscoe Conkling. While Garfield sought to reform
- 34:16a broken system, he was ultimately betrayed by medical
- 34:19arrogance. Doctors who ignored germ theory
- 34:22and turned a survivable wound fatal.
- 34:24Oh boy. Featuring Nick Offerman and
- 34:25Bradley Whitford, the story proves that America moves
- 34:28fastest under leaders of deep intelligence.
- 34:30When such light is extinguished by chaos and greed, an entire
- 34:33nation is left in the dark. Amazing to me that this really
- 34:37wasn't that long ago and you had a president of the United States
- 34:41die of. Effectively infection.
- 34:44Yeah, the bullet would not have killed him.
- 34:45You could have left the bullet there and he would have been
- 34:47fine. Doctors and I use that term
- 34:49extremely loosely, who were just like, I'll put more leeches on
- 34:52him, he'll be fine. It wasn't quite that, but, I
- 34:54mean, the doctors even says, you know, I don't believe in ghosts.
- 34:56There's no such thing as germs that are infecting him and all
- 34:59this. That's ridiculous.
- 35:00Yeah. Well, that's when germs run.
- 35:01The ghost bucket hit the space bar.
- 35:02It turns out I don't believe in ghosts.
- 35:03But I do believe in germs. I have been to a daycare and let
- 35:06me tell you, I believe in germs. Germs are real.
- 35:09Death by Lightning on Netflix. Now I want to check this out.
- 35:12I think this this sounds way more interesting than it's so
- 35:15good. I think a lot of people give a
- 35:16credit. That is the episode.

- 36:12Right now, if I brought an autonomous robot over to your
- 36:14house, what would you want it to do?
- 36:16But I don't know, I struggle with this.
- 36:17What would I have the robot do? I I wouldn't, I'm sure I
- 36:19wouldn't have it cook and wanted to do other things that I could
- 36:21cook. I would say maybe 3 or 4 times
- 36:23out of seven during the week I would have it cooked for me.
- 36:26Like I enjoy it, but it's the difference between it having to
- 36:28be utility and fun. And I'd say maybe 3% of the time
- 36:31I can still have good fun and have the utility the other
- 36:33times. When you don't want to cook on
- 36:35those nights, you know we have these things called restaurants.
- 36:37Go on. Tell me more.
- 36:43Tell me more what? What future do you live in?
