TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

And they sort of consider that to be like their IP.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

So that's not something they're like super willing to like share widely because...

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

Yeah, the special sauce.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

But I also get it because it's like, if you see that, you know, this guy is taking, you know, 25 milligrams of HGH three times a week or whatever, you could just like go on the gray market and get that yourself for like way cheaper.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

You know what I mean?

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

So I kind of understand where they're coming from with that.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

Correct.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

Yeah.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

So like it's like this whole big spectacle is in service of basically this, you know, website where you can buy enhancements.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

And the website itself isn't so different from like HIMSS or AgelessRx, like anything you could buy stuff from on the internet.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

It's indistinguishable pretty much except for this like large marketing arm that they have where they have athletes that they inject with stuff.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

Yeah.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

Yeah.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

You know, it's so funny because in, you know, the analogy I've been using to death is like in the 80s, they they use sports stars to sell Jordans and Gatorade.

And now they want to sell peptide stacks.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

So it's interesting because – and in some ways I wasn't surprised that like the unenhanced athletes ended up winning a lot of the prizes because the unenhanced athletes were the ones who were still in their physical prime, still in their 20s, and they were basically competing against –

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

mid thirties people who hadn't competed in 10 years and who were giving these doping regimens.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

And it just shows like that sort of talent and hard work kind of supersede everything else in like athletic competition, especially like this.

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

Um, so they did very little to instill hope that, that I'll ever be able to dunk a basketball or anything like that, you know?

TechStuff
The Pope vs. AI? It’s Complicated - Week in Tech

No, not really.
