What does Scott Adams have to say about memory and coffee?

Scott Adams 0:56
But I will upload the content from Locals to the other platforms. But we're good on Locals, and we're sort of almost good on X. So we're going to do it. By the way, there was a French study that says that coffee has astonishing powers to protect your memory. It might even be good against Alzheimer's. That's right. So the odds of you remembering this live stream, very good, if you had your coffee. That's a study by Rolling Out. Khalil Best is writing about that. Well, are you all waiting for the Epstein files and the JFK files and the MLK files? All waiting for those? Good luck. I don't think there's really any chance we're going to see anything we don't know or anything shocking, if we see anything. Maybe we'll never see anything. But lower your expectations to zero.

Zero would be the right place. According to SciPost, Eric Nolan is writing about this. Have you ever seen these online quizzes where you can decide who you should vote for? So you say things like, are you in favor of this policy or this policy? And then you fill it out. And then it says, oh, you're a Democrat. You should vote for this person or you're a Republican. Well, according to a study, I think that the person involved with this, you may have heard of, Robert Epstein. So he's done studies of Google and Google's influence. But he finds that these online surveys are more than just casual online surveys. Apparently, they bias you. toward one direction or another. So they can sort of turn you into a Democrat voter if you're on the fence.

What are the implications of online quizzes on voter behavior?

Scott Adams 2:55
So very diabolical. So watch out. If you see one of those, let me tell you who you should vote for surveys, they are meant to persuade, not to inform. So just know that that's a trick. You've been warned. Well, according to One American News, they're saying that Doge is reporting that during the COVID period, this is so bad it's just funny, the $312 million in loans that were meant for small businesses during COVID were taken out by children. So we don't know if they're real children, but they seem to be children. In other words, fake. $312 million of fake loans to children.

How did COVID loans fraud occur?

Scott Adams 3:54
It seems to me fairly consistent that whenever there's a large bunch of money from the government for anything at all, it's gigantic fraud every time because they don't seem to do any kind of auditing or any kind of accounting or any kind of checking to see who gets it. We should just maybe give no money to anybody. You know, if this were the only story today, I would be filled with outrage because my tax money went to loans to children. But I'm having outrage exhaustion. Anybody else have that? It's like every time I look at social media, oh, there's another $100 million somebody stole. Oh, there's another $200 million somebody stole. And it all starts just looking like baseline after a while.

So I worry that we will stop being outraged by stories that are really outrageous. Well, there's a new AI that everybody's talking about called Manus. And it's a Chinese AI. And the people who have tested it and written about it on social media seem to be blown away by how good it is. So it's not a regular AI. It's an AI agent. Now, the difference between a regular AI and an AI agent is that regular AI, you can talk to it and ask it questions and it can give you good answers and it can tell you how to code something. But an agent, you can just tell to go do a thing and then it'll go do a thing.
