Who knows? Why?
How long can we still... But is that dependent on Spotify? We were never dependent on Radio 1, right? No, we were never. That's true too. I think, since last summer, we've only been doing one episode a week. And that is, consciously, we're getting rid of algorithmic logics. You can maybe put that out there now. We're not doing a video podcast either, because we're not idle. Of course we are.
Because we're both pretty... It's not that we don't have big egos and don't want to see ourselves in front of cameras. But I think that... It's nice to say, it's a podcast, it's a podcast, a podcast is a podcast, is a podcast. And it's an audio format. Exactly. Who does it help if we turn on a video? Who?
No, well, we started with the Spencer film with Hans Paetsch, who read it. He read the Spencer... That's right, that's right. A lot of people asked if that was AI. No, it was an old recording. But actually, I'm on tour right now.
And actually we also have a, I don't want to say too much, but also after a long ethical discussion and before a long, intense conversation with the heirs of a deceased person from my immediate environment, a recording. And that's also because everyone said it would be exactly what this person would have liked. And we do that on tour too. There is an AI voice from a deceased person.
There are things where I find AI very good. Then I thought, if AI, if it goes on like this.
Where you have the feeling that it's a reasonable opponent.
I don't think so. I can imagine that this is of course of great economic interest, if that would work. That would not only replace people, but you could use a computer program You could develop a psychotherapy company, an AI, and just treat millions of people with one computer program. That's of course economic, we're all up for it, that it works.
I can imagine that people will try it, and maybe it's naive to believe that it will never happen, or maybe as soon as we're under the earth, everyone will laugh at us for thinking about it at some point. I don't think it works, just like it doesn't work with art. What we now believe, what we don't need, the interpersonal, what social media has trained us a bit, has already.
So we believe we don't need real contact and consensus with people anymore, because we don't need it on the Internet either. That's ultimately AI. In the extreme thought, you don't need humans anymore for anything. And I think that can work. It can be that humanity takes this step. I don't think that will happen. Elon Musk said he wants 2050 more robots than humans on this planet.
You know what's awesome? Teslas, they burn insanely well when you put them on. But hey, did you just, yes, yes, yes.
No, that was an extended suicide, a spectacular suicide, you have to say in the right way.
These burning palm trees in the burning Los Angeles and the big McDonald's logo, the flammable Cybertruck in front of the Trump Hotel. That's how the year started with these pictures. It's really crazy.
How can it burn in January, dude?
Explain it to me, Jörn Feuerwehrmann-Bümi! Because for the same reasons that in Germany there are rivers and settlements, settlements in flood areas of rivers and the infrastructure that could protect people is not being built because the money is public money, because there is something like debt breaks and in America it is even more blatant. These are the public spending of tax money.
And what if the flood doesn't come at all? Then we built it for free. Then how are we supposed to realize the dream of wealth for everyone? If we now use infrastructure that we don't all use, Der Mensch ist so dumm. Der Mensch ist so dumm.
Aber haben Sie sich bei Corona gemerkt, dass Leute, selbst wenn sie wissen, ein tödliches Virus geht um und dann fangen die Leute trotzdem, sind die nicht in der Lage, mal kurz für einen begrenzten Zeitraum, präventiv zu denken? Of course, in the big picture, they don't succeed either.
They all know that the earth will dry up, that there are no water reserves, that the ground is dry, that the forest danger grows. And yet they do nothing. Because people just don't ... They think ... There's no glory in prevention. And from now on, the horse takes over. Look, the treidel horse, the treidel horses that have pulled ships in the Rhine for thousands of years.
No, it will still be, if you find bones in the Rhine, so sometimes, now it's just high water in the Rhine, I last rode a bike along the Rhine, you couldn't go along the way anymore, in the Ports. You have to go over there with the ferry or change to the top of the street, because everything was flooded. But when there is low water, you can go far into the Rhine and in the gravel bed you often find
bones. And it's always, or very often, old bones from old, or stoned bones even, from trident horses. Because I suspect the fate of these beasts was also, don't pull anymore, let's leave it here. Or let's eat up quickly at the campfire. And then the trident horse was eaten. As a quiet reserve. As a quiet reserve when you're hungry. Yes, from here the horse takes over. I'm locked in here.
