What is the highlight of today's episode?

Scott Adams 0:01
The greatest reframe you've ever seen is coming at you today. All right. 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 experience a higher level of happiness than even before, well, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a sign, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. Dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen right now. Go. Satisfying. So good. Well, Microsoft has made a big and important announcement. They've developed a quantum computing thing called the Majorana 1. It's the first quantum processing unit that's built on a topological core. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. It's the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.

What recent advancements have been made in quantum computing?

Scott Adams 1:28
Well, now everything makes sense. Can we all admit we don't know a damn thing about quantum computing? We don't know what difference it's going to make, except maybe your encryptions will all be at risk. It's not going to replace your laptop computer or your phone because it doesn't do sort of general computing. Do we even care? And it's always a few years away. Like the chip is not the thing that, we got this magic chip and the news is all abuzz. But it's still years away. The claim is that now those years of work are more, it's a more clear and obvious path. So we're definitely going to get to quantum computing. And it's just, it's only just years away. It's just years away. So at about the same time as fusion, which, by the way, is years away.

What predictions can be made about Cash Patel's first day?

Scott Adams 2:22
It's just years away. Any year now. With the flying car. So we'll get the flying car, the fusion, and the quantum computing, I think, exactly on the same day. That's my prediction. Well, today is show us the cash day. Cash Patel will get his vote. We'll see if he makes it to be the head of the FBI. And the question I have is, Do you suppose that like the rest of the big administration nominees, that Cash will have some dramatic and notable first day rules? Do you think something big is going to happen in the next, say, 48 hours? I'm assuming he gets the vote. We think that he's going to get through, right? If he gets through, what does he have planned for the first day? I'm going to make a prediction.
Scott Adams 3:20
Aside from the normal firings, you know, there seems like there's always firings. But I think he's going to announce an investigation into something that had not yet been investigated that we all wish had been investigated. I'm going to predict there will be a crowd pleaser. so that at least one thing that Kash Patel says within the next seven days, assuming if he gets the vote, something he's going to say in the next seven days will make you go, whoa, I always wished that would happen, but I never thought it would. So that's my prediction. Meanwhile, Grok, the A.I., FromX is the number one downloaded app at the moment. And that's even, as Elon says, before the voice mode, the thing that allows you to just have a conversation with it. That's before that's even in the app. But that's coming real soon. And some other cool features. So will Elon Musk have the greatest AI? And will it remain the greatest AI? There's a pretty good argument that that's the way it's going to go.
Scott Adams 4:32
Because if creating the best intelligent app requires creating the fastest and biggest and best infrastructure, who's better at creating the best and fastest and best infrastructure? It's sort of nobody's, it's not even the second place. So in theory, if you're going to predict which AI becomes dominant and stays that way, It would be the one that's being supported by the person who can build a data center in an hour and a half. That's not true. But things that other people just can't do, infrastructure and manufacturing-wise. So that's impressive. Meanwhile, Lindsey Graham had a conversation with Zelensky. And Zelensky is happy about that.
