What are Scott Adams' initial thoughts on technology?
You feel like doing it this morning. You know when everything goes wrong all at the same time and you've got two minutes to show time? You never really recover. There's something about the first minute that sets the tone. So just imagine I gave you the simultaneous sip and then you had a sip. Nothing's working today. Maybe that's what I needed. Maybe it was the coffee I needed. Audio is good. Good. At least on locals. I can't see the comments on X if there are any. But if you're on X and you're saying, why is the sound not good? It's because it's on my phone today. Technical difficulties. No microphone is connected. Well, let's talk about all the news. I saw Joe Rogan talk about Meta's new glasses. They look like regular glasses, but it allows you to see things...
extra so you'll see your regular environment but extra stuff added and Joe Rogan was talking about some Harvard kid who figured out how to use facial recognition software with these glasses so I guess you can add your own apps and if you look at somebody with the glasses it calls up their social media and Wikipedia and whatever is available about them online now Joe seemed to think that that was a terrible idea and that, you know, I guess they could find your address and everything else if your address is public. So here's my take on this. You can wish that this didn't exist. You could hope that people would not use these glasses for something that looks like a privacy violation of some sort. But it's not going to happen.
So it's not that I'm in favor of it or against it. It's sort of like complaining about the rain. It's just going to rain, whether you complain about it or not. And technology is definitely going to give you this capability. You will be able to see things in your glasses that are not in the environment. Some of it will be telling you something about the person you're talking to. I guarantee it. There's no way around it, whether it comes from individuals who are hacking it or it comes from the company meta. It's just gonna happen. So again, I'm not in favor of it or against it. It's just gonna happen. But in related news, There's, according to the Brighter Side of News, Joshua Shafin is writing, that there's some emotion-sensitive technology that people could wear so you could tell what their emotions are in real time. I guess they figured out how to use galvanic skin responses in a more granular way than we've used them before so that you could actually tell people's specific and immediate emotions.
based on what's happening around them. Now it's not exactly completely done and it's a level above mood rings and things that we've had before. But now imagine putting these two technologies together. So imagine you could walk up to a stranger and you would know something about them. And let's say one of the things about them is they like dogs because they've got a lot of dogs on their social media. You could immediately engage them in a conversation. If you were shy, you could walk up and say, whoa, you've got a corgi? My aunt had a corgi. Those are great. That would be a little creepy if they didn't know you had the special glasses on. But imagine a time when everybody has them, everybody knows. And then you could determine whether the things you were saying were making the person you're talking to happy or not. I don't know. There could be a big benefit to shy people because shy people don't know what to say to new people that they're meeting. That's the biggest problem. If they knew exactly what to say, Nobody would be shy.
But imagine if you just saw enough about somebody that you could walk up to anybody and just use their name and you'd know something about them. It would solve a lot of shyness problems, speaking as a shy person. Well, I'm a recovered shy person. The best way to recover from shyness is to become famous. It turns out that when you're famous, all that shyness stuff just goes away. I did not expect that. Anyway, so there's two technologies that have changed things. We'll get to the big politics in a minute. So according to Fox News, Alexander Hall is reporting that San Francisco Asian American voters are basically walking away from the Democrats. Now, of course, it's not all of them. It's never all of them. Whoever you're talking about, it's never all of anybody. But
