What is the highlight of human civilization?

Scott Adams 0:00
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. You've never had a better time. 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 is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, a chalice, a sign, a canteen, a 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 dopamine today, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Happens right now. Go. Thank you, Paul. Everything's working fine today. All right. Well, the big news, in case you missed it, is that CNN escapee Jim Acosta has launched his own show. Oh, okay. What was I talking about? Oh, sorry.

What are the implications of Trump's executive order on sports?

Scott Adams 1:01
I was saying that CNN escapee Jim Acosta has launched... I'm just going to move to the next story. I can't make it through that one. Well, as you know, Trump has signed his executive order banning biological men in women's sports, as he likes to say. Women seem to like it a lot. You know, I'll tell you, there's a lot of people doing a victory lapse and people who worked for years on certain things. So is this not a big victory for Riley Gaines? Imagine being Riley Gaines. She kind of risked everything to just work on this issue. And she was really good at it. And here we are. Now, it's not because of any one person. But she certainly was leading the charge. Also, J.K. Rowling took tremendous heat. Victory lap. Time for the victory laps. And there's a whole bunch of people who have been toiling for years on individual topics like DEI. and suddenly they're all winners. You know, Robbie Starbuck and Christopher Ruffo and people like me. And we get a victory lap, too. So lots of victory laps lately. I like that.

Well, Wall Street Journal says the government's trying to ban DeepSeek. DeepSeek would be the less expensive Chinese AI. And I guess it's an app, and now it's not going to be legal if this passes. It's just introduced as a bill. But if this passes, then you can't have that AI on a government computer because they worry it will grab your information and send it back to China. Which it might.

What is DeepSeek and why is it controversial?

Scott Adams 2:59
Now, my first prediction about DeepSeek is that it wouldn't be as dangerous as you thought to American AI companies because the government would just tie it up in legal problems. They'll just make it illegal. And sure enough, it's basically the TikTok model. They start with banning it in the government because that's maybe easiest. But yeah, they're going to ban it. I would be surprised if it's still in the App Store in a year. As you know, the Army has shattered records for recruitment since the election of Trump. Do you think that's a coincidence? What would make people want to join the military just because Trump is president? Could it be less likely to get into wars that don't matter? That might be part of it. Could it be...
Scott Adams 3:53
just a rise in man, sort of male energy, although obviously a lot of women joined the service as well. Could it be that joining the service has now transformed from something like a thing for gay people to something like a lethal force protecting the country?

How has military recruitment changed since Trump's election?

Scott Adams 4:22
Because I got to say that my entire impression of the military was it's just a big LGBTQ cheering thing that occasionally gets into wars we wish we didn't have. Trump fixed all of that just by existing and being Trump. So, yeah, I don't think it's a coincidence that people are signing up all of a sudden. Probably not a coincidence. Well, Laura Trump's going to join Fox News one night a week on Saturdays. Saturday at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Now, remember I always tell you that Fox News is just better produced? You know, that's one of those things if you're not if you haven't been around the media business a lot, as I have, you're not going to notice the difference in producers. You're just going to say, oh, I like this show better than that show. And maybe you'll think it's because of the talent. But the producers have a lot to do with the success. And this is exactly perfect. Yeah, Laura Trump is exactly who they should be giving a Saturday night show to. If she does well, obviously they'd look at maybe expanding that.
