What is the highlight of human civilization discussed in this episode?
That's what I like to see. I'm ready. Are you ready? Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take it up to doge levels, you know what I mean? All you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or tails to style in a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
What does the simultaneous sip represent?
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better and happens right now. It's called the simultaneous sip. Go. So, so good. There are two of them. I don't think there are two of them. Or are there? Well, let's see what's new.
What are the implications of the DeepSeek legislation?
Josh Hawley, Republican, has introduced some legislation to make it illegal to use that new cheap AI from China called DeepSeek. Now, I think it's been tabled, which means that it doesn't have much chance of coming to a vote. But do you remember my prediction about DeepSeek? And people said, oh, no. China figured out a cheaper way to do things, and everybody's going to use this, and it's going to destroy the American AI industry. Do you remember what I said? I said, no. Eventually, there will be laws against it. There will be regulations. There will be tariffs. There will be some damn thing that the US government will have to protect our AI industry, and the way we'll do it is make it somehow impractical or illegal to use the Chinese version. And here we are. Now, this particular effort might not pass, but you can see what's coming, right? The government is not going to let you use a free Chinese AI. That's just not going to happen.
And if they did, it would be the dumbest thing that we ever did. It would be the TikTok risk times a trillion. I mean, this isn't a tough decision. It will be illegal. or impractical or kneecapped or something, or has to run on an American server. By the way, did you see Trump the other day? I guess it was yesterday. He was in the Oval Office, and as he likes to do now, he was signing an executive order but chatting with reporters. And then there were two visitors to his office who makes you wonder why they were there at the same time. They just came in to watch the event. One of them was Larry Ellison, and the other was Rupert Murdoch. Now, these are two people that Trump knows pretty well.
And Larry Ellison was also there not long ago. So it seems like Larry Ellison, Larry Ellis, seems like he's in the White House a lot recently. What do you think that's about? I'm going to go out on a limb. and say it could be that the reason Larry Ellis and Rupert Murdoch were there at the same time, I wonder if they're going to invest in TikTok. Do you think that maybe they would be involved in that, or at least Ellis? So I've got a feeling there's going to be an announcement soon about some American entity buying the TikTok assets, but not the algorithm. So look for that, and don't be surprised If you see some billionaires, pardon her up to do that because it's expensive. So Trump, apparently, he's suing the Pulitzer Prize board members for what he would consider giving a prize for the fake news that was reporting on the Russia collusion hoax. So imagine... being the writers for the New York Times, and you're writing about the Russia collusion like it's real. Turns out none of it was real, but you missed the entire story.
Everything that mattered about the story was that it wasn't real. That was the story. So the people who got the Pulitzer Prize I don't know how many people are involved, but New York Times got Pulitzer Prize, one of the writers at least, didn't get anything right and got a Pulitzer Prize. So this seems a little extreme to go after the Pulitzer Prize committee. But on the other hand, wouldn't you like to know how they made the decision? Wouldn't you like to know if the decision was entirely based on the quality of the writing? Or were there any other considerations, such as, well, let's get that Trump guy. We'll give an award to the people going after him.
