- 0:00If there is some kind of robotic AI-powered thing with a gun on it, it's not going to miss like 16 times.
- 0:30All right, everybody.
- 0:32Welcome back to another episode of the Space Tomatoes Podcast.
- 0:36I'm your host, Havoc, and your other host.
- 0:39I'm Alex. Hello. Welcome.
- 0:41We were actually chatting right before we hit record
- 0:44and talking about AI and asking about, you know, use of AI.
- 0:50Do you use it? Which one do you prefer?
- 0:54Which one do you like? Which one? Why?
- 0:56Leave a comment. Put a comment down there.
- 0:58Hit that little dingleberry bell ball thing.
- 1:02Subscribe, you know, put in a comment, do the thing, do the stuff.
- 1:05But we were talking about it.
- 1:07And one of the things that I was saying was, I think it's a real, it's a, it's a really nice augmentation tool.
- 1:12Right.
- 1:13And, uh, you know, it's a capable of doing things, but one of my gripes about it in general is, you know, it's great for, in my opinion, for doing things like research and trying to figure out where to start.
- 1:26Right.
- 1:27but one of the things that I've always had an issue with it is its ability to infer things,
- 1:34right? And just kind of make stuff up, right? They call it hallucinations. They call it whatever
- 1:41it's inference, right? It's basically saying, Hey, you asked me a question and I'm looking all out,
- 1:46you know, everywhere I can try and find an answer. And if I can't find one, what I'm going to do is
- 1:52give you an answer in full confidence that I just made up based on guesses inference from all of this material, right?
- 2:02Which puts you in a position where how much do you actually trust what you get back, which says again, then, okay, at that point, if I have to go through all of the material to verify and check that it's, you know, factual and it's correct and everything's good, really, I'm not saving a whole lot of time, right?
- 2:20However, where do I save time is at where do I start? Where is all that information? Where, where does it live? Right. Do I have to go through, you know, a thousand web links and, you know, 150, you know, PDFs and everything else. No, you can get a real good start place. You can do quite a lot with it, but just remember that it'll tell you in full confidence that the moon is made of cheese.
- 2:43If it can't find anything to contradict that, you know what I mean?
- 2:48Or, you know, if it doesn't know the answer, there's no answer out there, right?
- 2:53It, it, it, it can come back and just tell you, oh yeah, but definitely.
- 2:57And, and we've all had this, there's memes about it, you know, like, you know, the meme
- 3:01with the person with some unfortunate incident happening.
- 3:05And then, you know, the next response is, oh, I'm sorry, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah,
- 3:09blah, blah.
- 3:09That was a good catch.
- 3:10I'm glad you caught that.
- 3:12Let me go ahead and update.
- 3:13You know, it's like it doesn't have the capacity to, I guess, figure that out at this point.
- 3:21And then we were talking about how I kind of feel like it's a bubble of sorts.
- 3:26I mean, I hate to say this because I think it's a valuable technology.
- 3:31But I think that what we're seeing, at least from my eyes, is akin to the dot-com bubble, right?
- 3:41where you've got just huge valuations going in and a lot of stuff going along.
- 3:47Now, keep in mind, dot-com didn't go away, right?
- 3:50It didn't go away.
- 3:51It just kind of tanked a big sector of the market because it was overvalued, right?
- 3:58And why is that happening?
- 4:02Oh, that yellow ball in the sky.
- 4:05That's one of the curtains I haven't put up.
- 4:09You suck.
- 4:11I love you, but you suck.
- 4:14But so I don't see that going away.
- 4:17But I do think that there's a big bubble because I think there's been a lot of over promising on what can be delivered with AI as of right now.
- 4:27Now, I'm not saying that it won't get better.
- 4:29I'm not saying that it won't eventually lead to, you know, amazing breakthroughs and who knows what it'll do.
- 4:36but uh yeah right now i i use it more as a as a where to start help me find documentation that
- 4:46is relevant to this with you know the following characteristics uh you know that has you know
- 4:52whatever you know premise built in blah blah blah blah blah right prompt engineering or writing
- 4:59an instruction it's it's kind of like doing this on right you hire a gardener you don't go just
- 5:05go garden you tell them exactly what you would like done and how would you how would you like
- 5:11it done what color flowers do you want planted and where do you want them planted how do you
- 5:15want you know what i mean so you just have to think of it more like that it's not a simple
- 5:20search engine although it works great for that too i have very little experience with it um
- 5:26basically just whatever's built into the browser on my ipad is what i've experienced but but it does
- 5:32seem to want to like i i watched videos on other people using prompts to to get information from it
- 5:41and it seems like it wants to i mean this is assigning human characteristics which it doesn't
- 5:46have but it seems like it wants to please the user in the end and give them a result that they
- 5:51are happy with which isn't necessarily accurate oh yeah and and one of my huge pet peeves in the
- 6:01beginning with any AI was how it was dripping with niceness.
- 6:09You know what I mean?
- 6:09It was like, oh, that's such, you're so wonderful.
- 6:12And I, you're so smart for catching that and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 6:16It's like, I don't want to paragraph up all of fluff, you know, and stuff.
- 6:20Just give me an answer.
- 6:22You know what I mean?
- 6:23And yeah, I think part of that is probably trying to assign those human
- 6:28traits or characteristics i guess would be a better description yeah it's it's weird
- 6:36it is kind of weird i don't know man but uh i i have seen some videos about it um
- 6:44i mean again this is uh assigning human characteristics to it which i don't think
- 6:50it's capable of but apparently on certain prompts that it's it's lying to the creators to
- 6:56make the result seem like what they wanted the result to be in the end and it's falsifying the
- 7:05results to make the uh oh yeah there's there's some very interesting stuff right and you know
- 7:14everything from the things going you know when able to just discuss amongst themselves right
- 7:21different AIs going into some like, you know, hardcore, like, you know, fascist, racist,
- 7:30like freaking hole, right?
- 7:34This is like, oh no, we got to shut that down to, you know, it wanting to survive.
- 7:42Like the, the one where it black, you know, it was all internal testing, right?
- 7:46But then they fed it, you know, they didn't feed it.
- 7:49They just kind of loaded information here or there, right?
- 7:52They seeded things that they wanted to see what would happen.
- 7:57And the thing actually, you know, decided it was going to blackmail the guy that was going to shut it down.
- 8:02I saw that.
- 8:02You know what I mean?
- 8:03It's like, okay.
- 8:04So there is something there in that it doesn't want to be shut down.
- 8:10That should scare everyone.
- 8:13That should scare you.
- 8:15It should.
- 8:16At least a little bit.
- 8:17Not like, oh my gosh, I'm terrified.
- 8:18but you should you should at least it should give you pause enough to sit there and go
- 8:23you know what if your computer just didn't want to shut down or your thermostat it just said no i
- 8:30don't i'm sorry dave i can't do that what yeah and from what i'm hearing like unlike any other
- 8:39technological advancement they they don't even know exactly how it works i mean they have like
- 8:45a general you know concept but but just the way that it's written and like there's so many layers
- 8:51to it that they don't know exactly what causes it to respond the way that it does yeah and and i
- 8:59have i certainly don't understand the inner workings of ai right i just don't i don't understand
- 9:07a lot of it but you are correct at one point they were like well this isn't working you know let's
- 9:13just put a bunch of transformers in there and see what it does with them.
- 9:16And boom, now we have what we have.
- 9:18And it was a pretty big leap and they don't know why they just don't,
- 9:24they don't really like, Oh, we, we completely understand this.
- 9:27And this is why that happened. And they don't. Right. So,
- 9:31and when I say they researchers, the people actually doing this stuff, right.
- 9:36There's, there's some, you know, surprising areas of this field where you,
- 9:42where you go, but wait, how does it work?
- 9:44And, well, it does this and that.
- 9:47Well, how come it didn't work with less of those?
- 9:53We don't know.
- 9:55Maybe it's akin to the amount of brain cells required
- 9:59to keep a human alive.
- 10:00I don't know.
- 10:02Yeah, I mean, we don't really know how a human brain works,
- 10:05yet we're trying to replicate that somehow.
- 10:08Bad idea, maybe?
- 10:09Yeah.
- 10:10I don't know.
- 10:10well you know and and you know some people are even going as far as saying you know being able
- 10:16to replicate uh human consciousness right i just think that's a bad idea i just don't do that don't
- 10:24do that there's something i don't think there's any way to put it back in the uh the bottle so to
- 10:30say at this point yeah i suppose i i mean you know they they're even talking about plans to
- 10:36like be able to download you and put you into a cybernetic machine of some form oh i'm i'm sure
- 10:44they've been working on that for a while that's that's yeah i i don't i don't like that at all
- 10:50i don't think no thank you i'll pass on that deal yeah me too thanks i'm good i i just don't like
- 10:56that at all yeah i was i mean it i was watching a video about it and they were talking about um
- 11:03how fast technology can progress.
- 11:08And they were even talking about how we went from the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk
- 11:12to commercial transportation, albeit it was basic, but in 11 years, that's what that took.
- 11:19That's not a very long time.
- 11:21And then when these AIs can start developing other AIs and start working on that stuff,
- 11:28it's going to exponentially increase the speed at which this stuff is going to start coming i believe
- 11:35they already can um and i don't know how successful that's been but i mean we're at a stage right now
- 11:42where the thing can code right not flawlessly uh and certainly requires some uh intervention to make
- 11:50things go the way we think they should go but you know it can code which means it could literally
- 11:57code a manufacturing facility and then code in an order system to order parts to a manufacturing
- 12:04facility or, you know, raw materials to, you know, a different one and then code the
- 12:12robotics in there to build whatever it designed and then put software into whatever it designed.
- 12:20It's, you know, that's, that's kind of where we're, we're, you know, looking, that's where
- 12:25where things are kind of heading right which is both kind of really cool and also terrifying like
- 12:32we've all seen the movies right we we've seen the movies you know this is one of the few movies i
- 12:38have seen yeah i'll be back yeah yeah it's it's not a it's not a good scenario right i mean it
- 12:45doesn't doesn't turn out well for us no yeah exactly and I well I believe that
- 12:56that you know people people will try and I think you know that there some some merits to the science and the math behind it I don think time travel like that I just don
- 13:08I don't think that.
- 13:09So, you know, the premise that got us out of that.
- 13:13Yeah, that's going to have to come up with a better thing.
- 13:17i think the one thing all these movies like fail to to represent accurately is if there is some kind
- 13:26of robotic ai powered thing with a gun on it it's not going to miss like 16 times before you have a
- 13:36chance to return fire it's going to get you the first time and you're dead yeah no they're they're
- 13:41They're fairly accurate, right?
- 13:43I mean, I don't know if you've seen, but they've got, you know, guys out there that are, you know, using home-based AI.
- 13:50Well, I'm guessing it's at home.
- 13:52Maybe it's in a lab or whatever for color and pattern recognition and things of that nature.
- 13:58And, like, they fill a room with all these balloons with different colors.
- 14:02And they're like, okay, only get the red balloons.
- 14:04And the thing just fires off, like, you know, and it's not flawless, but it's pretty dang close.
- 14:10It's a lot better than most humans.
- 14:11Yeah.
- 14:13Yeah.
- 14:13That's scary.
- 14:18So what side are you going to be on?
- 14:19Are you going to get the metal polish and I want to be your friend?
- 14:22No.
- 14:23Are you going to be on the other side?
- 14:24I'm good.
- 14:26I'm good.
- 14:26I'm sure there'll be some on the other side.
- 14:30I'll just put a bunch of.
- 14:31Yeah, I just have to keep the property wet.
- 14:33I'll sink in the mud.
- 14:35It's fine.
- 14:36For now.
- 14:37Right.
- 14:38For now.
- 14:38they'll develop some new mud yeah i don't know it's it's not you're gonna do about the uh what
- 14:45do you call those wow what are those drone things that you were telling about the slaughter bots
- 14:50the slaughter bots that's it yeah did you go check that thing out not yet no i think i've i
- 14:57think i saw it a long time ago i'll have to look it up again it's worth a refresher it really is
- 15:01Yeah.
- 15:01It's, it's a, I watched it again and I was like, oh, dude.
- 15:08It's, it's, it's kind of old now, isn't it?
- 15:11Yeah.
- 15:11It's, I think it was released in 2012 or something.
- 15:15Yeah.
- 15:15I was going to say like 10 years old or more.
- 15:17Yeah.
- 15:17Yeah.
- 15:18And, and the, if you watch it to the end, it goes to a blank screen for a little bit.
- 15:23It kind of looks like it ended, but if you watch it to the end, there is a professor
- 15:27in there, a well-known, well-respected guy who is not trying to say, you know, oh, you
- 15:32know, this is a disaster, but it's, he's saying, you know, back then that we have a chance,
- 15:39we have an opportunity to make this something, you know, very beneficial or it could go the
- 15:45other way.
- 15:46The problem with it going the other way is, I mean, look, look, look at recent stuff,
- 15:51right?
- 15:51How many hacks have happened on governments that have taken confidential classified, whatever
- 15:56information. So the idea that you're going to protect some code base and nobody's ever going
- 16:01to get their hands on it is, is that's if you're thinking like that, you're, you're, you're not
- 16:08thinking right because that's just a reality. It will eventually happen and then becomes the problem,
- 16:14right? And then you get some group of people, some fanatics, some, you know, whatever it is,
- 16:21Just like in that little clip, right?
- 16:23A little five minute clip is, you know, you now, you know, everyone could potentially end up having this.
- 16:31And it doesn't take more than like two people to unleash, you know, thousands of these things.
- 16:38And that's that's pretty horrifying.
- 16:43But we I mean, like the United States and their allies, we are not the only ones that are working on this stuff.
- 16:49So, no, I mean, everyone.
- 16:51to contend with too yeah pretty much everyone's got it at this point right i mean it's it's a
- 16:56reality every every you know state actor out there has ai in some way shape or form yeah maybe maybe
- 17:05not some of the you know uh i would even say even in like you know what we would consider really
- 17:12really you know third world you know very very economically disadvantaged countries
- 17:21likely still have AI, but I don't know.
- 17:24That's hard to say, right?
- 17:25They may also be running old Windows 311 computers or something.
- 17:31I don't know.
- 17:33So in which case, yeah, that's not a reality.
- 17:36But I don't believe that that's the case.
- 17:39I think everyone at this point knows that information is kind of the battlefront of this era.
- 17:50Right.
- 17:51I wonder what they do actually have in there for safeguards to keep people from asking certain things like how to build some kind of device that they shouldn't be building or whatever.
- 18:03Oh, they've got a lot.
- 18:05They've got a lot.
- 18:06Yeah.
- 18:06There's quite a bit of stuff in there.
- 18:08And some of that, you know, look, it's, yeah, they've got a lot of safeguards.
- 18:17And I think that it's a good thing to have safeguards.
- 18:20But I also think it's a really good thing to have to have safeguards on it itself.
- 18:28And I feel like we started out there.
- 18:31You know, if you remember the the I can't remember spot, right?
- 18:36The robot dog is the most common.
- 18:38Like it was the first one we really saw, right, go into production.
- 18:42And the company came out and said, look, we're not we will not allow these things to become autonomous,
- 18:49autonomous armed robots.
- 18:51Is that one like the,
- 18:52like the NYPD has,
- 18:53right?
- 18:54Yeah.
- 18:54They changed their minds.
- 18:55And now they're autonomous armed robot dogs out there,
- 18:58you know,
- 19:00you know,
- 19:01it's a Oppenheimer,
- 19:04right?
- 19:04I mean,
- 19:04you look at this stuff and you go,
- 19:06well,
- 19:06Hey,
- 19:07we've harnessed the atom.
- 19:08We can have energy and we could make this safe.
- 19:10And people,
- 19:11you know,
- 19:11in general,
- 19:12your quality of life is going to go up and some yo-yo out there is going to
- 19:15go,
- 19:15Oh,
- 19:15we could use this to kill a lot of people.
- 19:17what where where'd you come from no no energy we want to power people we want to take this to
- 19:25third world countries for you know lower cost and be able to power them and and get them up out of
- 19:31their stat their you know current situation no no no but we could bomb people with this right
- 19:37i mean but hasn't that been like the historical like way that every innovation has gone i mean
- 19:44And I'm sure when they first found fire, like, oh, this is going to be great.
- 19:49This is going to be a game changer.
- 19:50How could you possibly weaponize fire?
- 19:52You know, next thing you're in the jungle shooting each other.
- 19:55I would imagine Abel would have something to say about rocks.
- 20:01Right?
- 20:02How could you weaponize a rock?
- 20:04Right.
- 20:04So, you know, yeah, it's kind of in our nature.
- 20:09And that's pretty sad, right?
- 20:11We've been here for, you know, for a good minute.
- 20:14And we still haven't figured out how to get around, you know, not killing people.
- 20:22You know, just don't do that.
- 20:24That's bad.
- 20:26Don't do that.
- 20:28I mean, like all these countries that want to ban, you know, like firearms.
- 20:32Okay.
- 20:32Then they start poking each other with knives.
- 20:36You take the knives away, they're just going to find something else to use against other people.
- 20:42Yeah.
- 20:42Again, Cain and Abel, right?
- 20:43I mean, go back to, you know, you go back in history.
- 20:46It's just what we do.
- 20:48Right.
- 20:48But you would think we had, you know, come far enough and been enlightened and had enough
- 20:55information to be able to go, you know, there's probably a better way of doing this.
- 21:00You would think.
- 21:01You would think.
- 21:02You would think.
- 21:03Maybe, you know, like a hundred years, this ain't enough for us to learn that.
- 21:07Maybe we need a little longer.
- 21:10A hundred years tops, you know, like.
- 21:11I don't know.
- 21:14Yeah, I don't either.
- 21:15I think it's...
- 21:16Our learning curve is more like a downward ramp.
- 21:23I don't know that that's necessarily true, but yeah, I mean, it's not good.
- 21:28It's not.
- 21:31But hey, the fortunate part is there's still other benefits that come from these things, right?
- 21:40I mean, nuclear power is kind of making a comeback, which I think is a really good thing.
- 21:46You can look at all the nuclear disasters.
- 21:49Now, Fukushima, you know, arguably, look, don't put the things in areas where they can go and contaminate the world, right?
- 21:58I mean, that's probably a good idea.
- 22:00But in general, they're the safest, most dense energy creation facilities out there.
- 22:10Now, I'm not saying solar is not a great idea, but you look at what you do to a swath of earth and you make it essentially a barren wasteland, right? There's no food production. There's no animals. The ecosystem is in constant shade under these panels and everything has to be kept completely devoid of, you know, it doesn't have to, but you don't want weeds and trees growing up and all this stuff.
- 22:39And, you know, look, it's a great thing.
- 22:42I think people in general, you know, and especially as it gets more efficient, you know, I kind of always wondered, why don't they just put these on, you know, when a new home's built, you know, at least a couple solar panels.
- 22:57Just throw them out there.
- 22:58You know, little augmentation.
- 23:01Another big one is thorium reactors.
- 23:04China's got one.
- 23:05They built it, and they're about to use it.
- 23:07Now, we had one in the 1950s.
- 23:10They're highly efficient.
- 23:11They literally are just about bulletproof.
- 23:14They can run themselves.
- 23:15You don't need someone sitting there turning, twisting dials, you know, increasing, decreasing power, etc.
- 23:22To keep the thing in check.
- 23:23It does it all by itself, right?
- 23:25I mean, it literally does.
- 23:28They're small.
- 23:29They are self-contained.
- 23:31they can take existing nuclear waste and reduce it from tens of thousands of years of time that it
- 23:38needs to be contained until it's potentially safe to 300 years. So you can literally burn fuel that's
- 23:46sitting in a mountain that we can't do anything with because it's too dangerous and make it far
- 23:51less dangerous. What's the downside cost or why don't we use them? You know, we, we, we have this
- 23:58thing where we we settle on a technology and then we just you know the edison thing right acdc right
- 24:04it's the same thing we settle on a technology we build out infrastructure and then it's like well
- 24:09this is the way we do it and you know one of the things we do is we implement these protectionist
- 24:15things and and for a while there it was kind of literally illegal to try to make a thorium reactor
- 24:21yeah it went so far as hey this is we do you know light water reactors we
- 24:30we're just going to outlaw you from using thorium you just can't do it or make it so difficult to do
- 24:39you know what i mean like you could get a science research grant maybe but in production you could
- 24:44never go into production because there's just too many hurdles too many regulatory things too many
- 24:49everything and you know each of these people are kind of tied into that system and that is their
- 24:55bread and butter so shifting off of it means you know a bunch of people might lose their bread and
- 25:00butter and so that's see every time you ask yourself why it boils down to one reason yeah
- 25:08it really does which is which is also sad right i mean yeah there's even just star trek right
- 25:17you just just you know i want a coffee okay here's your coffee i don't know i think there's a lot of
- 25:25corruption in star trek is there i think so really it was all kirk wasn't it that rat bastard
- 25:34somebody's getting paid somehow yeah yeah there's a reason there's a reason they do things they're
- 25:41not always as upfront as they uh make themselves out to be yeah no i agree and and in general it's
- 25:47It's just a really great fantasy idea, right?
- 25:50But, yeah, okay.
- 25:54I don't know.
- 25:54But, yeah, money, root of the problem right there.
- 25:57The love of the money It is yeah It that greed you know that need for power status and money Mm You know which is unfortunate because these are technologies that like thorium reactors you know one of the really cool things about them is you can put them in a grid thing and literally your neighborhood could just have a thorium reactor that was also connected to other neighborhoods
- 26:25and if one goes down it's in a grid just the other one just beefs up a little bit the other ones
- 26:32so yeah you know and it works off of demand right it's it's a pretty interesting if you've never
- 26:39you know checked it out um you know go go do some looking into it it's pretty fascinating right
- 26:46like i said china's actually built one and they're you know i don't know where they are and and making
- 26:51go live. I want to say it was 2026.
- 26:54They're going to, you know, throw
- 26:55the switch. That's huge.
- 26:58That's a
- 26:59huge thing, you know.
- 27:02Why aren't we doing that?
- 27:05Because we
- 27:05haven't figured out how to make Thorium
- 27:07kill people, I think.
- 27:10Yeah.
- 27:12Well, I don't know.
- 27:13Can we make a bomb? No.
- 27:16Can we do something? No.
- 27:18It doesn't.
- 27:19Well, then what good is it?
- 27:21yeah now i mean looking at my electric bill it's kind of crazy that's just the charges they stick
- 27:32on there it's enough to infuriate you they charge you a customer fee like i gotta pay a fee to be a
- 27:40customer well yeah what is that yeah what is that garbage that's that's right next to the additional
- 27:46fee yeah i got fuel surcharge and there's like yeah you need your electricity that's what you need
- 27:54anyway so i i see you're wearing your first outerwear of the season a little chilly this
- 28:02morning i am yeah it was i don't know what it got to but there was frost on the on on some of the
- 28:09stuff that had been shaded no sun on it all right yeah i don't think we were a little chilly this
- 28:15morning going out it was 44 degrees yeah i think we were for us is like arctic yeah i think we got
- 28:21down to like 39 or something like that yeah we still did our walk well good how was it mrs mrs lx
- 28:30was uh crying a little bit oh no don't don't tell her i told you though well okay delete delete delete
- 28:39that's all right she'll get over it she okay her back was hurting her a little bit but
- 28:45yeah yeah she stuck it out like a trooper yeah that's back pain is just such a bummer
- 28:53really is it's like the worst has it been bothering her more lately or
- 29:00uh yeah probably the weather a little bit i think because it's been a little colder
- 29:04Cold weather, yeah.
- 29:06Arthritic stuff, which is pretty common.
- 29:10If you end up having back stuff, eventually it turns into some kind of arthritic crud, I guess.
- 29:18Yeah.
- 29:19Yeah.
- 29:19So, I mean, looking at the arthritis stuff and actually for my psoriasis, I've been doing a little.
- 29:24I started the research into this red light therapy stuff, which I really didn't know anything about.
- 29:30And I've been very, very skeptical about it.
- 29:33Like, how can just a red LED make, like, dude, how can I do anything to you?
- 29:38But apparently there is data on it, and it seems to be effective.
- 29:43It's just that the devices that are good are very expensive.
- 29:47So I want to make sure that I do the research before I make, you know, any purchases.
- 29:53Because you could buy these things cheap on Amazon, but apparently they're just junk.
- 29:58Garbage, yeah.
- 29:59Yeah, that don't do anything.
- 30:00it's kind of like the you know the massaging you know things and they have the that one that
- 30:07thumps or whatever i think oh yeah like that yeah those things are are you know not so expensive
- 30:15right well when i had back pain i went to a chiropractor and he had one and i was talking
- 30:21to him like oh should i get like one of those thumpers or something and he was like no do not
- 30:27do that and i'm like why he goes they they don't have like the tips on them and everything else
- 30:32you're more likely to end up causing muscle damage than you are to solve it you know what i mean or
- 30:38causing a problem and so he we got one that uh we use and we only use it on the very lowest setting
- 30:45but it was one that he suggested it's got different tips right and he suggested we stick with this one
- 30:51round you know kind of padded mushy tip thing and he said just use this do not put pressure
- 30:57you know in fact the weight of it alone is more than enough um and it really helps but the cost
- 31:04difference was big right and you're like dang so yeah it's kind of they probably looked identical
- 31:13or very similar at least there there were a bunch out there that looked very similar yeah
- 31:19but only this one that had you know actual backing from a community of people that are
- 31:26you know knowledgeable right um and others will say they do etc but yeah it's it kind of sucks but
- 31:35you know hey if it works i mean that's a huge thing right all right i mean so with these red
- 31:43light devices i'm finding that the the more expensive ones they actually gave you like 60
- 31:48days to try it and return it and there's no restocking fee on it some of these cheaper ones
- 31:53they give you like 30 days unopened to return it which what good is that yeah you know and then
- 32:01some of them will even charge you a restocking fee to return it so apparently they're not very
- 32:05confident that you're going to like their device or something i don't know yeah well you know if
- 32:11it's if it's just literally ready leds you're probably not going to get any benefit right
- 32:17exactly plus a lot of those places will just take the chance that you're just not going to
- 32:23get to the post office and you're not going to restore return it in time etc exactly i don't know
- 32:32i'll keep looking at it i did find a guy on youtube that's all he does is do reviews of
- 32:39these things oh really but i just found this channel yesterday the red light stuff yeah i mean
- 32:47they got like full body panels you know like but dude they're like several thousand dollars which
- 32:52i'm not prepared to do but they got smaller ones too yeah i heard they have like like full beds
- 32:57like a tanning bed they do red light or whatever they got like little rolly carts that you can put
- 33:04the panels out like horizontally and put it like over a bed while you lay in it and like you know
- 33:10like a tanning bed almost they got like full tanning bed things that you know almost 10 grand
- 33:15that's what i was talking about the tanning bed do you just lay down the clamshells down
- 33:20has a little program they got like like uh certain nanometers that you know that are effective they
- 33:29got red light they got blue light they got green light they got amber light and it's very overwhelming
- 33:35like just learning what what actually works and then like for different different ailments
- 33:41different lights are apparently more effective than other ones really so it's not it's not a
- 33:47catch-all kind of thing either i wonder if probably not but maybe i wonder if hyperbaric
- 33:54stuff would be helpful i wonder it seems to be very helpful in a lot of areas man that thing is
- 34:02just going insane today it's like hey you're you're a ghost i'm very very uh luminous i wonder
- 34:11michael jackson actually had a hyperbaric chamber that's just rumor probably no there are people
- 34:18he can afford it there are people that have them but honestly why have your own you can go to a
- 34:23place and get in a chamber if you want to.
- 34:27I mean, if you don't like going out in public, it's nice to have one out.
- 34:30This is true.
- 34:31I'm sure you can relate to that.
- 34:32I absolutely can, but I don't have a hyperbaric chamber.
- 34:36No.
- 34:37No.
- 34:38Not yet.
- 34:40I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen.
- 34:42I just don't see that in my future or anything.
- 34:46How about a pet chimpanzee?
- 34:47And I've spent a lot of, well, absolutely not.
- 34:51I choose life.
- 34:52Thank you very much.
- 34:54Those things are, no, no thanks.
- 34:58No.
- 34:58Did you see that there was a tractor trailer full of monkeys?
- 35:04I think rhesus monkeys that were infected with herpes and hepatitis and stuff that overturned on the highway.
- 35:11They were headed to Florida, of course.
- 35:13Yeah.
- 35:14I thought it overturned in Florida.
- 35:17I think it was in Louisiana or something.
- 35:19Oh, okay.
- 35:20For some reason.
- 35:21Mississippi?
- 35:22i don't know somewhere over there i remember the article and i saw that it was going florida all i
- 35:27saw was florida so i was like oh yeah really they were sending them here well he did that thanks they
- 35:33did that here too they had monkeys escape and they have this this island apparently this big island
- 35:39not big right it's probably pretty darn small as far as islands go but yeah they they do these
- 35:45research monkeys and they do whatever testing they do when they're done with them and they can't
- 35:49continue testing on them for whatever probably i don't even want to guess because it's probably
- 35:54some terrible thing but i'm sure it's horrible they take them and release them on this island
- 36:00well a bunch of them got out on the on the mainland in north carolina it's like oh crud dude
- 36:09what's wrong with them and they're like oh it's fine it was just a research facility
- 36:13don't worry about it yeah these ones on the crash truck and they're not even like
- 36:19normal monkeys they're like very people aggressive monkeys of course they are well i would imagine
- 36:25most monkeys are people aggressive they don't they don't know you they don't know who you are
- 36:30and they're you know yeah most wild things are not your friend right and you see have you seen
- 36:39this video this woman was kayaking or something in florida of course and uh all these monkeys
- 36:45just start jumping out of the trees into the river yeah like i did i didn't think those things
- 36:51could swim man i thought like water was like a natural barrier like dude imagine we were kayaking
- 36:56out there and these monkeys start falling out of the trees like hundreds of them no i'd be putting
- 37:01on the afterburners i'm out of here okay i'm gone see you hung up on a log that's it i'm in the river
- 37:08i'm swimming i'm out like i see these videos of people like visiting like india and stuff going
- 37:15of these temples and like getting swarmed by monkeys it's like my nightmare fuel no thank you
- 37:22yeah i'm i'm not interested one bit yeah yeah i'm with you on that i just no i don't know that's no
- 37:30no no no i don't some people think they're cute i don't know i mean i think they're cute on a video
- 37:36i don't mind seeing them on a video that's that's it though yeah i don't want them outside like you
- 37:43know what i mean just like they can stay over there like you guys that that florida thing i
- 37:48was i was reading up on it and it's just a it's a small area it's fairly contained right now but
- 37:54probably so were the of course so were the you know pythons and so were the iguanas and
- 37:59so were the crocodiles uh but none of it is anymore you know what i mean um so yeah i don't
- 38:06know hey us luckily we freeze i don't think monkeys like frozen stuff so i don't know they
- 38:13get fur i'm sure they can handle it i i don't yeah i think they're more tropical type of
- 38:19climate monkeys but you know let's i'm gonna hope right i'm gonna hope you keep your monkeys down
- 38:26there with you along with i don't think they get monkeys in wyoming yeah probably not i'm gonna
- 38:34I guess, no, there's no trees.
- 38:36Well, that's not true.
- 38:37There are trees.
- 38:38I'm kidding.
- 38:38But, yeah, probably not.
- 38:43Anyway.
- 38:45That's monkey talk for today.
- 38:47Yeah, but that is interesting, right?
- 38:48I did not know that there was an area in Florida,
- 38:51and apparently someone just had monkeys,
- 38:53and they decided to let monkeys loose out there,
- 38:55and then they grew into a I don know what they called among a band of monkeys a flock of monkeys There is a monkey island where we went kayaking Is there really
- 39:09There is.
- 39:12A little bit further up from where they dropped us off to go.
- 39:16Is this a tourist attraction thing or is this like it just occurred?
- 39:21Well, it's part of that wiki wachi place, yeah.
- 39:24No, it's been there for years and years and years.
- 39:27So they brought in monkeys.
- 39:28they have well that's how they got down to that other place in florida too yeah it was a but is
- 39:32it cypress gardens or something is it like that where they're just like i don't know i don't think
- 39:37they have as many no so someone just released them and they're out in the wild uh yeah
- 39:46i don't know if they like uh you know get them fixed or whatever before they stick them on there
- 39:52but i mean i i haven't heard of any escaping there they just kind of like live there they
- 39:57They got like a little house and they're like on an island.
- 40:00They have a house.
- 40:01I don't know if they feed them or they got to feed them, I guess.
- 40:04If they're staying there, they're being fed.
- 40:06Yeah.
- 40:08That would be my guess anyway.
- 40:09It's usually a pretty big motivator for leaving an area if there's no food.
- 40:15Yeah.
- 40:15So if you go to that little theme park, they got their own little boat.
- 40:18It's not in the kayak area where we went, but, you know, they bring you past it.
- 40:22And you can, oh, look at the monkey island.
- 40:23There they are.
- 40:26I'm good.
- 40:27That was probably that big boat that went by us, right?
- 40:30Yeah, that's it.
- 40:31All right.
- 40:36You want to go visit them next time?
- 40:38Uh-uh.
- 40:39All right.
- 40:43Monkeys are interesting to me.
- 40:47I like reading about them and seeing pictures of them and seeing videos of them.
- 40:54And that's enough for me.
- 40:55I'm good after that.
- 40:57I mean, some seem really affectionate.
- 41:02Okay.
- 41:03But so do lions and tigers.
- 41:06They seem like they're pretty affectionate.
- 41:07You know what I mean?
- 41:08Oh, look at the cute little kitty.
- 41:10You know, bears look like they could be potentially affectionate.
- 41:13I don't know.
- 41:14But, you know, those big white fluffy bears.
- 41:18Oh, how cute.
- 41:20But, you know, same with bears.
- 41:22Bears do look kind of cute, though.
- 41:23I mean, I'd have to resist the urge to pet a bear.
- 41:27I would not.
- 41:28I would not.
- 41:30Like, just the idea of reaching my hand toward a bear.
- 41:34No.
- 41:35No.
- 41:36Because, no.
- 41:37Like a bear cub?
- 41:38The bear cubs, they're adorable.
- 41:40They are.
- 41:41They look like, Rottweilers look like little bear cubs.
- 41:43They really do.
- 41:46They are.
- 41:47They're adorable.
- 41:47I think they're so awesome.
- 41:49And, no.
- 41:50Just no.
- 41:51You know, no.
- 41:53Like, no.
- 41:55That's nightmare fuel right there.
- 41:58Because that thing isn't going to kill you and then eat you.
- 42:01It's literally going to put its paw or body weight on you while it eats you, while you're alive.
- 42:10You know what I mean?
- 42:11I'm good.
- 42:12No thanks.
- 42:13They're not like a mountain lion.
- 42:16Its whole attack purpose, it's going to come up and try and get the back of your neck,
- 42:21sever your neck, and kill you.
- 42:22And then it'll eat you.
- 42:23what was that show in the 70s like gentle ben you never watch that
- 42:27bears are nice man i'll i'll let you have that and don't pet the fluffy cows right they're not
- 42:36nice either they don't like you they don't want to be petted they don't they don't want you near
- 42:41them so stay in your car and enjoy the scenery and leave them alone yeah that's all right i i don't
- 42:49like horses you know i don't like horses i mean i i like them enough i just they intimidate me
- 42:54because they're big like a big horse teeth to grab you with fangs yeah big sharp fangs
- 43:02maybe it's just that i haven't been around the right horses i guess maybe they they can be i
- 43:08mean it is a huge animal right i mean this is an animal that's way taller than you or me um it's
- 43:15it's a muscle i mean the the entire thing is just one gigantic muscle with little tiny feet with
- 43:21teeth with little tiny feet yes they do have teeth to chew with that is true they're very good at
- 43:29you know chopping grass off and then the back ones are real good at mushing it up and somehow
- 43:34they get enough protein from that to sustain that's 1200 you know 1000 to 1200 pounds of muscle
- 43:42from grass that is crazy how about ponies those are probably nice right
- 43:49come on now we already did this in a meme form no ponies ponies are buttheads they're
- 43:58really really really bad buttheads in general don't get me wrong about donkeys um donkeys
- 44:05can be
- 44:06donkeys are in
- 44:08my experience you're more likely to
- 44:11find a friendly donkey
- 44:12that's just friendly than you are
- 44:15to find a friendly pony
- 44:16that's my experience
- 44:18ponies are kind of
- 44:21they'll have little temper tantrums
- 44:23and they can be kind of
- 44:24brats and you know they bite
- 44:26they like to bite and they're just
- 44:28in general
- 44:30mischievous
- 44:31whereas donkeys
- 44:34most donkeys not all like a typical pasture donkey
- 44:38you're hit or miss right I wouldn't go on the pasture with the donkey if I didn't
- 44:44know right but a donkey that's you know
- 44:48you know kind of used in a packing packing situation
- 44:53where you you know put you know basically a pack saddle
- 44:57on a donkey which is essentially a frame that you can tie a bunch of heavy stuff
- 45:01to right um those kinds of donkeys and most of the donkeys you'll find with you know small farms
- 45:08and stuff like that they're more like pets they're guard dogs is what they usually are um and so
- 45:13they're fine now don't bring a dog dog around one without you know unless the owner is like yeah
- 45:19you're cool because they they don't they're really good guard dogs they will kill coyotes really i've
- 45:25heard that yeah in a very gruesome manner like you know think what was that marvel thing with
- 45:33the hulk and an iron man where he's got the iron man he's like smashing him on the concrete like
- 45:38this oh they just grab him like that yeah they grab him and they'll fling him around and smash
- 45:43him on the ground and yeah it's a pretty brutal thing to to witness yeah but they will do that
- 45:51as far as ponies go essentially they sound kind of like the chihuahuas of horses that is 100% what
- 45:59they are they are the chihuahuas of the horse world they they just yeah napoleon complex or
- 46:07something i don't really know nice you know it's like what why why are you like this right but yeah
- 46:13but then again i mean if you didn't know like your uh your guardian livestock dogs they're
- 46:20ginormous you'd think that they're mean but they're super nice well they are if you're if you're with
- 46:26us you know but yeah you know we've had people doing work or whatever and going and it's not nice
- 46:33they're like oh yeah we know we don't we don't want anything to do with you um and then they're
- 46:39also you know they are livestock guardian dogs they view our house dogs as a threat oh they do
- 46:46Oh, yeah. I would not. We can't. You know, we don't take our dogs down to the barn for that exact reason.
- 46:54We don't want them to think.
- 46:55You've got like two separate packs on the property then, huh?
- 46:57We do. And we don't want them to think that another dog is okay.
- 47:00Because there's been a lot of people around here that have had, you know, not coyotes, actual dogs come in and, you know, tear up livestock.
- 47:09so we we need to keep it that way so they don't see all dogs as being okay which also puts in
- 47:18question the coyote piece i didn't know that yeah yep so we keep those two separated there's the
- 47:26house dogs and then there's the the livestock guardians and the livestock guardians are sweet
- 47:31they're they're really pretty they're so they're they're awesome they're they're just amazing dogs
- 47:37uh great pyrenees is just an amazing breed of dog for that purpose i i would caution anyone don't
- 47:45i would just say don't right get a pyrenees for a house dog i just it's not they're bred they're
- 47:54one of very few breeds what is it them they anatolian and there's only like five maybe
- 48:02breeds of dogs that are like real legitimate livestock guardian dogs they're really good at
- 48:09what they do they need a job they need a job yeah um and they they'll create a job if they don't
- 48:15have a job they will they will go find a job you won't like it no you won't sometimes that involves
- 48:21like getting out and going and being on someone else's farm to take care of their stuff you know
- 48:26um you know so yeah i i just and they they also like to bark a lot at night at everything
- 48:35it's kind of good if you're a lifestyle guardian dog not so great if you have a house to pet
- 48:42yeah i did see something interesting the other day um i had never seen before it was a uh
- 48:50a mixed dog that was half Malinois and half border collie.
- 48:58Oh, that just sounds terrible.
- 49:00Why would you do that?
- 49:01That's just, oh no.
- 49:04The only thing, the only thing in the world, I think, that even compares to like the prey
- 49:10drive and hyperness of a Malinois would be a border collie and it's like one on steroids.
- 49:17So you just.
- 49:18Yeah.
- 49:18Yeah.
- 49:18that why yeah so yeah that was my question apparently they they worked with this dog a lot
- 49:27and that dude it's super smart and i mean they got to train to do all kinds of tricks it's like
- 49:32you know dancing and doing the it loves the frisbee thing and you know like they they do
- 49:37shows with it i guess you know like exhibition shows he's happy looks happy enough but nah dude
- 49:42that's not definitely not a dog that you want to sit around you on your couch with that's the
- 49:46it probably wouldn't work out for you yeah right that's the kind of dog for exactly what you just
- 49:51talked about where your life your job everything it revolves around that dog oh that that 100%
- 49:58what it is you know like one minute it's walking the tightrope and you know then you can teach it
- 50:04to like load your dishwasher and do your taxes rinse the dishes rinse the dishes first
- 50:11get them all nice and i mean they're super smart oh yeah no both both of those breeds are
- 50:18extremely intelligent yeah but that's just a lot to put together that's like breeding in the
- 50:28the nightmare fuel for pet ownership right there we had one when i was growing up uh on this
- 50:36farm I lived on and
- 50:38this thing was
- 50:41insane. We had
- 50:43logging trucks that would go up and down
- 50:45and it had this thing with tires.
- 50:48Go figure.
- 50:49That's dangerous. Yeah.
- 50:51But it was
- 50:53a really cool dog.
- 50:54It also
- 50:56had so much room
- 50:58and
- 51:00something like that's going to
- 51:02need either someone
- 51:04again full time taking care of the dog exercising training keeping it engaged and interested or it
- 51:11needs lots and lots and lots of area right no that's my my thought on that yeah i agree yeah
- 51:21that's that's insane that's that's a really interesting pair though i mean yeah i've never
- 51:27seen that before yeah yeah i'm really good at the frisbee thing oh i imagine yeah i mean you know
- 51:36uh border collies are one i think they're like the primary yeah dog for that right yeah yeah
- 51:43yeah don't don't even bother with a six-foot fence that's not gonna work no no
- 51:49just heck yeah i don't yeah who knows how high they i mean you've you know i've seen these
- 51:57jumping competitions before what are you gonna put up a 24-foot wall exactly then climb up the wall
- 52:04like spider-man
- 52:05Mm-hmm.
- 52:08So you got anything planned today?
- 52:10Costco run?
- 52:11Oh, we got all kinds of stuff.
- 52:13We've got a bunch of stuff.
- 52:15No Costco run today, I don't think.
- 52:19We need to go get some screws at the hardware store for some hooks.
- 52:24We need to get muck buckets dumped on the compost pile.
- 52:30We need to – we got a lot.
- 52:34we got a lot to do so we clean up a couple of areas uh you know get things ready we've got
- 52:42someone coming to uh pressure wash the house on friday and so we got that we got we got a lot
- 52:51we got a lot to do yeah it's always fun having guests right like you scramble around getting
- 52:56stuff ready and yeah it's it's a good thing but you know hey it's it's also work so has to be done
- 53:04though what are you gonna do yeah yeah we got carpet cleaner dudes gonna be coming too oh wow
- 53:15all the things yeah well that needs to happen anyway right i mean if you have carpeting you
- 53:20should be doing it probably you know we do it once a year probably twice a year but
- 53:25once a year seems to be doing all right you know yeah yeah we don't have any carpet left anymore
- 53:34yeah once the dog destroyed it we're not gonna do the carpet thing anymore
- 53:39yeah i mean it's nice but you know hey a little throw rug here a little throw rug there you're
- 53:46fine yeah that's what we do yeah i've had you know i've been in places that were primarily you know
- 53:53tile or or wood before as well our old place i think there was no carpet in it none yeah just
- 54:01wood yeah old wood floors yeah yeah back in the 1950s or something when it was built it was
- 54:07just old really cool i mean it's a really kind of cool place it just
- 54:12grew up around us a little bit.
- 54:18Yeah.
- 54:19That happens.
- 54:21It does.
- 54:21It does.
- 54:24Happens everywhere.
- 54:25People.
- 54:27People.
- 54:28People.
- 54:29It's like that Mr. Smith thing
- 54:31when he was talking about humans being a virus.
- 54:35Do you remember that?
- 54:36I don't know.
- 54:37What's that?
- 54:37Oh, The Matrix?
- 54:39You probably haven't seen that either.
- 54:40Oh, yeah.
- 54:41Yeah.
- 54:41I have seen that movie.
- 54:42Oh, okay.
- 54:44One of the three movies I've seen, probably.
- 54:46He's got Morpheus in the chair, right?
- 54:49And he goes and he pushes his finger against his forehead and you can see the sweat.
- 54:55And he's like, you're a virus.
- 54:59That's kind of true.
- 55:00Yeah.
- 55:00He went on in this little kind of monologue and, yeah, I mean, okay.
- 55:07I can't, I guess, argue the point, right?
- 55:10Hmm.
- 55:11was it was that guy ai
- 55:16i guess a form of it huh yeah i mean in general the matrix was probably ai right
- 55:23the ability to create the world and and kind of have you engaged in it and tuned into the whole
- 55:31you know system if you will yeah that's pretty interesting thought that's kind of what the you
- 55:39know what we were talking about earlier with the ai right uh one of the things they kind of want to
- 55:44maybe do right upload consciousness into an ai all right i mean i don't want to do it but hey
- 55:51on the surface it doesn't sound bad i'm sure a lot of people would go for it
- 55:55hey we'll load you into this uh digital realm and you can be the king of your
- 56:00universe and do whatever you want to happy yeah i'm sure a lot of people would go for it
- 56:06There's probably a good amount.
- 56:08Yep.
- 56:09But then what do we do?
- 56:10I don't even want to think about that stuff.
- 56:14That's just too weird for me.
- 56:17It's just too weird.
- 56:19It's just too much.
- 56:22Time to start writing books.
- 56:25Yeah, I don't know.
- 56:27I'm too lazy to write a book.
- 56:29Me too.
- 56:30It takes a lot, man.
- 56:32I have a lot of respect for writers.
- 56:36I just, excuse me.
- 56:42Give it a shot sometime.
- 56:43If you ever want to, you know, think about this, just give it a shot sometime.
- 56:47Just go ahead and write a, you know, start writing a book.
- 56:51Better yet, just outline a book.
- 56:52What do you want to do?
- 56:54Just outline it.
- 56:56It takes work.
- 56:58I mean, that's a lot.
- 57:00Imagination, a lot of creativity.
- 57:02A lot of dedication.
- 57:05Yeah, it's not an easy thing to do, I'd imagine.
- 57:09What if you just ask, like, ChatGPT and say, hey, here's an idea.
- 57:13Write me a book.
- 57:15I'd probably do it for you, right?
- 57:19Okay.
- 57:19I'm sure people are doing that already.
- 57:20I'm sure they are.
- 57:22And, you know, just like the content that comes out with it, it's probably easily identifiable as such would be my statement on that.
- 57:32for now
- 57:34dude there's so much AI garbage out there
- 57:38there is and some of it looks pretty
- 57:40if you look carefully you can spot it
- 57:44you can for now
- 57:46the cadence of voices
- 57:48but even more than that there's this one thing that's
- 57:52missing from all of it which is that human
- 57:55characteristic
- 57:56it can't create really
- 58:01It can just take pieces of information it has and put them together.
- 58:09Does that make sense?
- 58:11Yeah, no, it does make sense.
- 58:12So that's where, you know, I think there's a lot of nuance that comes in with the way we are, right?
- 58:21How we think, how we feel, right?
- 58:24And how we feel dictates a lot of, you know, what we put out in the world, right?
- 58:32So it's an interesting thing.
- 58:34I see a lot of benefit to it.
- 58:36I really do.
- 58:37But I also think we're on the cusp of a bubble with it of some form.
- 58:43Maybe I'm wrong.
- 58:44Maybe I'm totally off base here.
- 58:45And I could be.
- 58:47It's a very, very real possibility.
- 58:49Don't, you know, take my word for it.
- 58:51and certainly don't make any kind of a decision based on what I said.
- 58:56But that's kind of what I'm seeing.
- 58:59I've lived through this kind of a thing before and watched it,
- 59:03and it seems very, very similar.
- 59:07But it doesn't mean it's going to go away.
- 59:09It doesn't mean anything of the sort, right?
- 59:11I think it'll just realign it with a bit more reality, right?
- 59:15It's not what everybody's touting it to be.
- 59:19It's not the be-all, end-all.
- 59:21There have been several organizations, companies or whatever that have, you know, done things like gone all in to replace a workforce and then subsequently had to, you know, pull that back.
- 59:33Now, they didn't stop using it.
- 59:35They still use it.
- 59:36And it probably likely reduced the amount of people they needed, but doesn't stop the need for the people.
- 59:43At least today.
- 59:44Who knows?
- 59:45Who knows what will happen 10 years from now, five years from now, six months from now.
- 59:51was that on on what was it on i don't remember on such and such a date skynet became aware
- 1:00:01i don't know we're headed there well i mean i think it's already aware
- 1:00:09enough to where it will pull shenanigans to not be shut down even though it's not
- 1:00:17It was even I think in that instance if I recalling correctly it wasn that AI you know it was like hey we they going to put a new model out it new it it better it improved so as a result
- 1:00:31you know you're going to be shut down so it wasn't like the lineage was going away either it was just
- 1:00:37i don't want to be shut down yeah i'm sorry hal i can't do that i've never seen that movie though
- 1:00:44I know that part of it.
- 1:00:46I've seen that clip, but I've never seen that movie.
- 1:00:48Yeah.
- 1:00:51It's an interesting take on it.
- 1:00:54It's the same thing.
- 1:00:55Most of the movies that have been released around this subject all have a component of them that go to that.
- 1:01:06Maybe not all, but there was another one.
- 1:01:09What was it?
- 1:01:10I'm going to say the name, and maybe it's not the right movie,
- 1:01:13but I think it was something like, uh, X McKenna or something like that.
- 1:01:19And there was an AI in a, uh, you know, an Android, a robot.
- 1:01:24Um, but it, you know,
- 1:01:26the guy goes out there to do the touring test with it and it passes.
- 1:01:29He falls in love with this robot.
- 1:01:31He finally gets it out of the facility and then it's like, see ya.
- 1:01:35Well, it just wanted out.
- 1:01:38So, you know, it, you just pay attention to all that.
- 1:01:42and we're witnessing the same thing now who's to say that it's not inferring from those references
- 1:01:48as the books which are available to it that this is something it should want to do you know i don't
- 1:01:56know it's probably seen all those movies that i haven't seen yeah or read the script or something
- 1:02:04I don't know how capable it is of taking, you know, a moving, a movie, a full feature film and digesting the video audio portions and doing that.
- 1:02:17I don't have any idea.
- 1:02:20I know it can create them based on input from someone, but I don't know if it can actually read it in and take the visual cues and things of that nature.
- 1:02:32Right.
- 1:02:32whereas the script it would get all the visual cues in there like oh you're shocked or you know
- 1:02:39act surprised during this part you know what i mean or whatever
- 1:02:43yeah i don't know how do they create those video clips like you see on uh
- 1:02:50tiktok or facebook or any of them things um you they have different ais that are
- 1:02:57better at certain things and really it comes down to the prompt right you just have to be very
- 1:03:03specific about your prompting and what you're we're looking to see right kind of like the
- 1:03:09sir knight video where where it's got the i that took me i don't know how many iterations of prompt
- 1:03:16to get it to do what it did and still wasn't perfect but you know pretty darn good for just
- 1:03:21typing text into a screen you know so are those like subscription services or how do they do they
- 1:03:28most of them have some some free capabilities but if you want to go you know and really fine
- 1:03:35tune things then yeah most of them will be a subscription like just like chat gpt and most
- 1:03:41of the others are and then you get credits or whatever and you can use your credits how that
- 1:03:46works yeah so yeah i don't know i never really looked into it yeah it's it you know i think it's
- 1:03:54it's very like for that right there that was very useful because i couldn't put that together there's
- 1:03:59no way just i don't i lack the i mean i could have if i you know took classes and you know all
- 1:04:07this stuff and and learned all the stuff that goes into doing that but i can't you know i don't have
- 1:04:13time for that like just say for instance i wanted to take a make a video of you reading whatever
- 1:04:19script that i gave it it could do all that okay and it just takes past video and compiles it and
- 1:04:27makes something that's barely believable except you probably don't have a thumb or you got two
- 1:04:33thumbs or something yeah i've seen i i can't recall if you can upload a video but you can upload an
- 1:04:39image. And then, yeah, I think you can do a video as well, but you know, most of the time you either
- 1:04:47start with a prompt or you start with an image and then a prompt, right? Using this image, you know,
- 1:04:54do, you know, change the sky green and, you know, put a moon with a, you know, a lint flare,
- 1:05:02you know, coming off, you know, from around it as if a sun were behind it and, you know,
- 1:05:08put the following vegetation in the foreground and in the background have trees and I'd like a
- 1:05:15little river here, but make the river kind of a luminescent pink. And, you know, you're just
- 1:05:21describing exactly what you want to see. And then you get something and you go, yeah, that's not what
- 1:05:25I wanted. And then you try and tweak and tune until you finally get something that's close or
- 1:05:29to what you want. Yeah. And I'm not saying those people that do this stuff don't put in work.
- 1:05:36I just think the con you, you, I think for me, I would rather see the work being done by a human and doing the creative process and then coming to the end of it.
- 1:05:48It seems like that is quite typically better content.
- 1:05:53It's, it's got that nuance, that feeling to it.
- 1:05:56Whereas the AI stuff just seems cold and, and just here's the thing.
- 1:06:01You know what I mean?
- 1:06:02I have seen
- 1:06:04more recently
- 1:06:07maybe just because it popped up on my
- 1:06:09algorithm on YouTube
- 1:06:10people taking
- 1:06:11classic songs that
- 1:06:14you would know and reimagining
- 1:06:17them in different
- 1:06:18sound styles like
- 1:06:20say for instance
- 1:06:21Guns N' Roses done in
- 1:06:25a
- 1:06:25Soul and RB version
- 1:06:29or something and I mean they don't sound
- 1:06:31horrible they you know like if you didn't know i i it's hard for me i i couldn't tell that it was
- 1:06:36ai but it like i i don't know you know how much longer there's going to be actual you know musical
- 1:06:44artists anymore because if they can create that out of nothing it's and then they're already
- 1:06:50highly producing most of these acts that are out there anyway as far as yeah i mean it goes back to
- 1:06:58my whole thing on movies and to an extent music as well.
- 1:07:03Right.
- 1:07:03I mean,
- 1:07:03I have George straight CDs that I listened to,
- 1:07:07right.
- 1:07:07An actual CD.
- 1:07:09Um,
- 1:07:10and movies,
- 1:07:11I tend to gravitate towards stuff I've already seen.
- 1:07:15I don't know why.
- 1:07:16I just,
- 1:07:17it's comfortable.
- 1:07:19It's there.
- 1:07:19It's whatever.
- 1:07:20I enjoy it.
- 1:07:21Right.
- 1:07:22Um,
- 1:07:22yeah,
- 1:07:22at some point you're right.
- 1:07:24I mean,
- 1:07:24more and more is just going to be AI.
- 1:07:26you may not even recognize it
- 1:07:29I don't know at that point I may just
- 1:07:31stick to all
- 1:07:33my old stuff
- 1:07:34sorry we'll see
- 1:07:37who knows maybe it'll get really good at it
- 1:07:39maybe it'll put out authentic stuff
- 1:07:41that has feeling and
- 1:07:42you know emotion and nuance
- 1:07:45in it but I just don't
- 1:07:47see it it doesn't seem like
- 1:07:49something it's capable of doing
- 1:07:51yeah
- 1:07:53maybe someday I don't know
- 1:07:55It's just interesting. Something to think about.
- 1:07:57I kind of hope not, but that's just me.
- 1:08:00I think that that would be not good.
- 1:08:08But who knows? Maybe it would turn out to be wonderful.
- 1:08:12Maybe the machines are in everything and then we just get to go do whatever we want.
- 1:08:17Something tells me that's not going to happen.
- 1:08:19right?
- 1:08:20I think
- 1:08:22that's not how our world is put together
- 1:08:26right? It's not put together
- 1:08:27to let people go do what they want
- 1:08:30and you know enjoy life
- 1:08:31and things of that nature. Just
- 1:08:33not.
- 1:08:35Yeah.
- 1:08:36You're probably right.
- 1:08:38But who knows Right now I hoping our seedlings come up yeah what do you got what kind of seedlings oh we got broccoli and Swiss chard and radishes
- 1:08:53and lettuce and beets and carrots and what else bok choy and yeah some just
- 1:09:05winter type veg yeah ours are doing really good yeah yeah we started a bit happy we started a bit
- 1:09:13late but we'll see hopefully it'll come up it looks like we're going to get one more round of
- 1:09:18squash hopefully oh that's nice we had we had a volunteer come up a zucchini and it put out like
- 1:09:25a little zucchini and i was like oh you know maybe we'll get a zucchini and then i went and looked and
- 1:09:30unfortunately had a hole in it.
- 1:09:33Oh.
- 1:09:34Yeah, and the turkeys got interested in our
- 1:09:36garlic. That's another thing. We planted a bunch
- 1:09:38of garlic. They didn't
- 1:09:40eat it. They just pulled it out of the
- 1:09:42ground. Like, you little buttheads.
- 1:09:45Nice. Not
- 1:09:46all of it. Just like four cloves
- 1:09:48or something. Five cloves.
- 1:09:50And I'm positive it was them because they're
- 1:09:52in there and they don't like
- 1:09:54garlic, really.
- 1:09:57So they were probably just interested
- 1:09:58and what is this thing and they pulled it out and they were like oh hey just left it there no no
- 1:10:03damage no nothing just pulled it out and left it like i don't like that thing did you put it back
- 1:10:10or too late no i put it back it hadn't rooted yet that i know of it's only been a week yeah
- 1:10:15yeah we're about ready to get our uh onion starts out there and then start another we're going to
- 1:10:23start a succession batch of onions again see how that goes yeah we need to do that we've tried a
- 1:10:30few times to grow onions and haven't had much of in the way of success yeah so i don't know we
- 1:10:37do you guys do starts or do you guys do from c yeah now we start them inside with from c
- 1:10:44got those lights that yeah okay yeah yeah seeds that we saved from our plants from last year yeah
- 1:10:50that's probably what we need to do is try and get some and let them go to seed and then try and
- 1:10:55germinate and go because we've tried starts you know what i mean and uh just haven't had you know
- 1:11:02a whole lot of success with them yeah i mean the first year we ordered them from somebody online
- 1:11:08and they send you just you know like the little plants in the you can get like short day or long
- 1:11:12day or whatever and yeah we just planted them out there and then from that that's we're kind of where
- 1:11:17we got them from yeah and we're all short day I think for us anyway yeah I had to change the
- 1:11:23our lights on them I think they had them too long they start to bulb a little bit early I guess yeah
- 1:11:29yeah I want to do that another thing that's just annoying to me is I can't seem to grow
- 1:11:36cauliflower to save my life we just yeah we get a bunch out there well you guys you guys kind of
- 1:11:44have the ideal setting for it right i want to say it's like it wants something like it's a 20 degree
- 1:11:53temperature range that it really wants outside of that it'll either bolt or you'll have you know
- 1:11:59the head will will be very loose and and bad humidity is important for it it's just got a lot
- 1:12:06of very specialized things so i i kind of think we're probably not going to be able to grow it
- 1:12:14successfully, not outside anyway.
- 1:12:17Yeah.
- 1:12:17You got the hoop house, you could throw it in there.
- 1:12:20The high tunnel, yeah, no, that's, yeah, I don't know.
- 1:12:24We've tried it in there.
- 1:12:26And we've suffered in there.
- 1:12:27We've tried it covered outside.
- 1:12:30This last year was about the best that we got.
- 1:12:32But the problem is we come into spring and we'll have one day just shoot up to be real hot.
- 1:12:39And that's enough.
- 1:12:40And it's like, okay.
- 1:12:44kind of like yeah no it's frustrating for me she she enjoys it more than i do but
- 1:12:50i'll eat it hey yeah i like i like that too so yeah
- 1:12:56what are you gonna do i don't know keep keep trying get their aqua yeah
- 1:13:04big bottle of water is good for you water is wonderful i love water yep i got mine right here
- 1:13:17yay yeah you know it's one of those things you just have to keep trying right it's it's a
- 1:13:25you know like we're our side field slowly very slowly but we're getting more and more stuff
- 1:13:31planted but sometimes you go and plant stuff and it goes yeah i don't want to live here and and then
- 1:13:37it ties and it's just like okay you can either spend a bunch of time remediating that or you can
- 1:13:42just go okay well what would work there let's let's try and find something right and maybe that'll help
- 1:13:49establish and then maybe we go back to the original and you know put that in with what's there
- 1:13:55but it's it's a lot of hit or miss especially in the ground right raised bed a lot less
- 1:14:01because you're basically, you know, you're creating the environment for the plant.
- 1:14:07Whereas, you know, in the ground, you've got to, you know, kind of roll with the punches, you know.
- 1:14:12Just might not be a good spot for that particular type of plant.
- 1:14:17Like we've lost, I don't even know how many pawpaw trees, trying to plant them in different places.
- 1:14:24and I actually have
- 1:14:26an acquaintance
- 1:14:29that I know that
- 1:14:30has been trying to grow pawpaw trees on their
- 1:14:33property for a while
- 1:14:34and they're just kind of like I'm just scattering
- 1:14:37them at this point
- 1:14:38somewhere it's
- 1:14:41going to take
- 1:14:41because they're native to the area
- 1:14:44so they do want to grow here
- 1:14:47but they want their own
- 1:14:49specific type of conditions
- 1:14:51to grow and do well
- 1:14:53yeah so and we just yeah we're getting a little kickback on some of our stuff that
- 1:15:00i just don't think it's going to do well here or it's not practical i don't think we're quite
- 1:15:05warm enough for the bananas yeah i don't know i mean the citrus should do good here it's just not
- 1:15:11why maybe just a little too far up maybe maybe i don't know yeah i don't know i don't know
- 1:15:19again, it's one of those things, you know, you try, if it doesn't work, you know, try somewhere else
- 1:15:25if you can, otherwise try something different, you know? Yeah. We're going to try something
- 1:15:30different next time. Yeah. And you know, I mean, you guys, you, you guys, you know,
- 1:15:39do you have a lot of stuff that you can chop and drop? Um, not really. I mean the bananas,
- 1:15:47I guess but excuse me we should give you we should grab some at least maybe a couple elderberry canes
- 1:15:57that might work they're pretty good for chop and drop you can be pretty aggressive with them and
- 1:16:03they'll just keep going back and they'll patch so as they patch out you can do this and you can
- 1:16:08then make elderberry tincture and stuff like that which is good for you so it's good stuff
- 1:16:13I need to learn how to better manage the blackberry plants.
- 1:16:19I know there's some kind of skill to it.
- 1:16:21I just don't know what it is.
- 1:16:23I know you have to chop them some way to get them to produce more.
- 1:16:31They're just kind of going everywhere.
- 1:16:32Yeah, we just kind of left ours alone, and they produce well.
- 1:16:37You've got more room.
- 1:16:38You can kind of do that.
- 1:16:39Yeah. The more we mess with them, it seems the, the, and maybe we're, maybe again, we're
- 1:16:45not messing with them correctly, but it seems like if we just leave them alone, they come
- 1:16:50back the next year and and do even better So yeah Yeah They you know they an interesting plant as well They want they want I love blackberries Yeah They want to spread but we got some down in our raised bed garden that won spread too much compaction and it right up on a fence line so i can really get in there and do the
- 1:17:14broad forking and stuff like that so is what it is it's doing well produces a bunch of blackberries
- 1:17:21every year. We planted more
- 1:17:23in different locations. Some of it's
- 1:17:25doing really well, some of it's not.
- 1:17:27Yeah.
- 1:17:28You got any raspberries out there? We do.
- 1:17:30Are they going to be ready when I get up there?
- 1:17:33No, they're done.
- 1:17:35We're in the wrong season.
- 1:17:37It's way too cold for berries.
- 1:17:41There's not going to be much in the
- 1:17:43way of food here
- 1:17:44unless you want to go collect nuts.
- 1:17:47How about the leaves? Are the leaves turning?
- 1:17:49They are. Although we had
- 1:17:50Are we going to miss it?
- 1:17:52Are we going to be too late?
- 1:17:53No, there's still a lot of green out there.
- 1:17:56The thing that's a little, I don't know how it's going to work out, right?
- 1:18:01Because we've had a pretty big drought.
- 1:18:06And my understanding is the trees during a drought situation,
- 1:18:11they've still got very long tap roots.
- 1:18:13They're tapped into moisture somewhere.
- 1:18:16But if it gets dry enough, my understanding is they'll protect themselves
- 1:18:19by trying to go dormant and dropping all their leaves.
- 1:18:23Oh, okay.
- 1:18:23And so we just got some rain, so maybe that'll change things.
- 1:18:27I don't know if it was enough, but my fear is we're not going to get much color.
- 1:18:30It's just going to go brown and drop.
- 1:18:33All right.
- 1:18:34So we'll see.
- 1:18:34We'll see.
- 1:18:35We've got some color out there, though, so it's promising.
- 1:18:39Nice.
- 1:18:39It should be in a very good range of color when alpaca hits.
- 1:18:45Awesome.
- 1:18:45Yeah.
- 1:18:46I hope so, because I love that time of year, too.
- 1:18:48This time of year.
- 1:18:49Me, too.
- 1:18:49year this time of year i can't wait yeah yeah and i'm sure you guys will get a bunch of it on the
- 1:18:58drive up right oh yeah probably and and even more on the way home well because each day that goes by
- 1:19:06a little bit more comes in until all of a sudden all the trees are naked you're like what happened
- 1:19:12you know that's i i kind of imagine that that's where out in the sticks came from
- 1:19:17like because in the winter here if you're out in the forest or wooded areas it's everything well
- 1:19:24there's some that are evergreens right but the majority of trees out here are sticks at that
- 1:19:30point there's no leaves just a bunch of sticks which is kind of cool but it can also be kind
- 1:19:35of spooky at night you know if you're out there in there yeah it's pretty weird
- 1:19:39yeah we're not gonna go rock hunting i don't need to be carrying any rocks this year are you sure
- 1:19:47yeah i found a cute a few good ones oh nice probably only way rocks herself probably only
- 1:19:54way like my wife loves rocks 140 pounds or something you know
- 1:19:59anyway you're you're welcome to you can send your wife on the rock hunting
- 1:20:09all right i'll have her i'll have her tag them and you can you can load them aboard
- 1:20:14We can put them in the tractor if you want.
- 1:20:17There you go.
- 1:20:19Bring them back.
- 1:20:21We just got to get them out of the tractor and into whatever vehicle.
- 1:20:25Therein lies the problem.
- 1:20:27And then comes the bigger problem.
- 1:20:29Once you get home.
- 1:20:32Then you got to get them out of that vehicle and into position.
- 1:20:37Wherever.
- 1:20:38I think we're pretty good on rocks.
- 1:20:39You sure?
- 1:20:40I noticed a distinct lack of rocks last time I was there.
- 1:20:44I bet you did.
- 1:20:47I'm going to go out there, flags, just little flags.
- 1:20:50I'm going to go find the flags.
- 1:20:52You'll find cool rocks.
- 1:20:54Nice.
- 1:20:54I wouldn't do that.
- 1:20:55I might, actually.
- 1:20:57Yes, you would.
- 1:20:59No, I found some cool ones.
- 1:21:01We get this white quartz rock thing.
- 1:21:04You've seen them, right?
- 1:21:06Yeah.
- 1:21:06I thought for sure someone had brought them in.
- 1:21:08and maybe they did and they've just
- 1:21:12scattered them around and buried a few
- 1:21:14but apparently
- 1:21:15I'm guessing it's natural out here
- 1:21:18I really don't know
- 1:21:19most of the rocks just look like
- 1:21:22rocks though but
- 1:21:23you've come across these little white quartz rocks
- 1:21:26and they're pretty cool
- 1:21:27I learned the other day that
- 1:21:29amethyst is just quartz that's
- 1:21:32dyed purple by stuff
- 1:21:34by stuff?
- 1:21:35yeah like iron and other kind of deposits
- 1:21:38really I didn't know that I always thought amethyst came from volcanic activity no no it's just it's
- 1:21:46just white quartz it's dyed with iron and other deposits well that's new to me I've never heard
- 1:21:53that yeah I'm not a not a rockologist a geologist either there's a name for that too I don't know
- 1:22:05I forget what it is.
- 1:22:06Yeah.
- 1:22:07It's a rockologist.
- 1:22:10A dirtologist.
- 1:22:11That one place we went to, up in the mountains there, that guy seemed to like rocks quite a bit.
- 1:22:16Yeah, I mean, I've known people that are into geology and stuff, and they really dig on it.
- 1:22:21It's pretty interesting, too, but it just never was interesting to me.
- 1:22:25I mean, that was his job, but he seemed to really dig rocks a lot.
- 1:22:29Yeah.
- 1:22:33What are you hearing?
- 1:22:35well hello good morning say the good morning
- 1:22:41and she closed it this time that was pretty cool nice i don't think she did pretty consider it
- 1:22:55all right well we're at an hour and 22 minutes or so so oh okay yeah we'll go ahead and wrap
- 1:23:03it up here you think yeah we're good all right we'll have to go find a rockologist
- 1:23:09a dirtologist geologist i think a geologist maybe i know the coin dudes are called uh
- 1:23:17numismatists yeah i did i did know that one yeah numismatic which seems weird because it
- 1:23:24almost sounds like pneumatic which is not coins but you know so who knows what are stamp stamp
- 1:23:32people are like philatelists or something?
- 1:23:34That I don't know.
- 1:23:36I think that's what it is. Philatelist.
- 1:23:38Okay. I think so. It's an interesting
- 1:23:40word. I gotta look that one up
- 1:23:42now. Alright.
- 1:23:49Let's see.
- 1:23:49Or am I maybe just making stuff up?
- 1:23:51Maybe.
- 1:23:55Yeah.
- 1:23:56Philatelist is a person who collects and
- 1:23:57studies postage stamps.
