What is the highlight of human civilization?
As soon as I get my comments working here. Success. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because it's the best thing that ever happened to you. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a tankard shell. Wait, no, you need a cup, a mug, or a glass, a tankard shell, a stein, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better, including Mondays. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Go. Oh, so good.
How does Grok image generation work?
Well, I have to start by saying that last night in the man cave that I do just for the subscribers to locals, we discovered that you can make pictures of public figures using Grok, their new image generator, and you could have those public figures appear to be very interested in each other. Now, it's not going to do porn. But if you'd like to see a public figure making out with another public figure, apparently you can do that because people were sending me a lot of images of me making out with Michelle Obama and a few other people. So after that was done, I said to myself, huh, I wonder how well this works. So I started putting in the images of myself and other beautiful, famous women. Just to see.
No, it doesn't do anything that's beyond PG. It's all PG rated, or maybe G. But it is weirdly fascinating to see how just picture perfect I can do of myself with another person I've never met in person. It is scary. So let me tell you. Yeah, let me tell you, the future is going to be wild. Meanwhile, the X app is the number one news app at the moment. Imagine being the one that the news wants to kill and he becomes the number one news app. I like that. But the problem is, as others have pointed out, isn't X only the number one news app because it's where people go to make fun of all the news? If all the mainstream news went away tomorrow, there wouldn't be anything to talk about on X. X wouldn't have anything.
It would just be independent people who look at the mainstream news and decide how true it is. But if we didn't have any, there wouldn't be much to talk about. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, if you're using AI as your doctor, it could have even worse cognitive biases than the human doctors. So they did a test, and they found that depending on how you prime the AI, what question you ask, you might get a response that's a little biased, even more biased than a human doctor. So while AI seems to be an amazing thing for humans, knowing what question to ask your doctor. It's really good for that, by the way. I don't think the doctors love it, but if you want to just know if you're asking the right questions and did you leave anything out, talk to AI before you have your doctor appointment. It really makes a difference. It's great. It doesn't have all the exact answers yet, but it certainly is a good way to check that you've covered all your bases.
According to the New Atlas publication, chronic pain can be lowered by better quality diet, regardless of body weight. So if you improve your diet so you're not eating junk food, apparently it makes your pain go less. Now, I have to admit... That's not one I would have known if you had just asked Scott. But it makes sense because a good diet will give you less full-body inflammation. And you would think that pain would be quite related to inflammation. Depends on the pain, but mostly. So yeah, apparently eating well... Makes you feel good. Surprise. There's a study in Yahoo Finance that older workers are the happiest workers. You know why that makes sense, that older workers are the happiest workers?
Because after a certain age, you're just delighted that you have a job at all. If you're over 65 and you have any kind of a job, you're probably delighted, you know? Turns out a lot of people at that age don't even need the job. It's just the only way they can have a social connection. So they love just having their social connection. And hey, a little extra money doesn't hurt.
