Well, there you are. You're here. I'm here. All right. We're going to find our comments and get them going so I can see what the locals people are saying to me. And then we will blow your mind with the best show ever.

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. Probably the best day you can ever have, 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 cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine. At the end of the day, it makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Sensational. Best sip of the day. Well, of course, I'm going to be talking about the L.A. fires, but I'll wait just a minute for people to stream in.

Before that, I would like to note, do any of you remember, I can't remember how long ago it was, so we're going to test your long-term memory. It was a long time ago, but there were these two terror attacks, one in New Orleans and one in Vegas. Any of that sound familiar? It was so long ago. Right? Trump is doing it again. He's doing that thing where time is completely distorted. So when the Vegas terrorism thing was the headline story, I said to myself, ooh, this is going to be in the news for a while. So I'm going to do a Dilbert comic in which Dilbert's boss's secretary says, suggests that he takes a vacation in Vegas because he didn't know where to go on his vacation. So she suggests that he buy his Cybertruck and drive it to Vegas and stay at the Trump Hotel.

Well, anyway, you'd have to see the comic. It's pretty darn funny, but it's running today only for the subscribers. You'd have to be subscribing on X or Locals to see it. But... You know, I was prepping it to publish it this morning, and I thought, oh, my God, that feels so long ago. So long ago. So Trump time distortion happened again. All right. Just one more thing. Then we'll talk about the fires. I tried to use ChatGPT last night to digest a big legal document that I was asked to review, and I thought to myself, oh, perfect application for AI. I'm going to upload the document, and then I will query it to say, okay, is this handled? What about this? What's it say about this? And then it would summarize it for me, and I'd save a bunch of time.

I was so happy to be in the age of AI. So I took my PDF file and I uploaded it and said, we can't handle a PDF file. And I said, in 2025, the advanced intelligence, the most important technology in the world, can't read a PDF file? But it said, you know, JPEG it could read. So I thought, oh, all right. All right, well. So I just changed it to a JPEG file. And I upload it. And it fails. And it says it can only take, when it goes to JPEG, it turns the document into each of its individual pages as one file apiece. But I thought, oh, no problem. I'll just drag all of the pages in. It'll figure out the page numbers. Good to go. And then I try to drag all the pages in. And it says, can only handle four pages. And I think, okay, no problem. No problem. I'll just do four at a time.
Scott Adams 4:32
Because there are only 20-some pages. It's not going to take all day. So I drag four over. Good. So I drag another four over. And then it clarifies that it's a total of four. It's not four at a time. It's a total of four. So I spend... Something like 45 minutes of my day finding out that AI can't do the simplest freaking thing so I Don't know they say they say it's gonna replace everything and do everything I don't know. All right. Let's talk about the LA fires It's all horrible You know, if if you're new to my livestream, I live in Northern, California and And you might say to yourself, well, Northern California, that's so far away from Southern California that you're probably not much impacted. Well, I'm not impacted directly by the fire. That's not a risk where I am. But if you live in California, you end up having a lot of friends in other parts of California. So I'm very impacted.
