What is the highlight of today's Coffee with Scott Adams?
It's going to be amazing. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and there's never been a better time in your whole life. 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 for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a sign, a canteen jug or 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 the dopamine dinner of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called, that's right, the simultaneous sip. Go. Oh, wow. All right, well, I have a theme today. As you know, it's April Fool's Day. And it's hard to know what to trust. So I'm going to read you the news as I always do.
What are the latest updates on Optimus robots?
But I'll check in to see if you think the story is made up or real. So you're all going to be playing like a game show today. Real or April Fools? Let's call it April Fools Includes Fake News. Okay, just to make it fun. Story number one. Is this real or fake? You can now pre-order your Optimus robot. It's going to be just under $30,000, and deliveries will begin in late 2027. What do you think? Is that real? Yes, it's real. You can get your Optimus robot. If you order it now, it'll only take you a few years, two and a half years. Now, what's interesting about that is it seems to me that it wasn't that long ago that the robot maker's we're promising it would be the end of this year. Do you think it's possible that the competitors to optimists will have robots that are fully functional and can live in your house and do what you tell them to in 2025 by the end of this year? Because I'm pretty sure that's been promised. Here's what I think. I think that putting it out to late 2027 is sort of an admission that they haven't figured out the brain part, the AI.
As advanced as AI is now, as impressive as it is and as advanced as it will be in another six months or another year, I don't think it's the right kind of AI. So I think they're going to have to invent a whole new flavor of AI just to make robots work. And I think that's just purely a guess that 2027 will be soon enough. We'll see. But I'm not surprised that robots got delayed from 2025 to 2027. Just think what two years is in AI time. Two years is not we're going to tweak it to make it work on robots. AI means we don't have the technology right now to make a robot. We have to invent the technology, and we're not exactly sure if we can. We feel confident enough to take your money. But yeah, I would imagine that there's going to be a lot of pre-orders for robots.
Is there a male birth control pill in development?
I do trust that Elon Musk would not bluff. You know, I don't think there's any chance he's going to pretend he can make a robot and then he can't make a robot. I think he'll make a robot and you'll be happy to have it. So to me, it seems honest to push it down two years because I do think that's about what it will take before they have something that's more like, you know, general intelligence. All right, real or not real? There's now a... Hormone-free male birth control pill. It's entering human trials. It's not available on the market. It's 99% effective. So the University of Minnesota is working on this. It's real. And it's been effective in animals and now in human trials. Now, I don't know if the animals were having sex with each other or the humans, but probably just with each other. That would be my take on that. Yeah. I mean, the article wasn't specific, but I'm going to say probably the animals were just getting busy with each other. And now it's in human trials with no animals whatsoever. Big breakthrough coming. Boys.
Can you imagine what trouble you'd get into if you had no risk of pregnancy and you didn't have to trust? My phase is over, so I've sort of aged out of the whole, this dating situation. But I went through my whole life thinking that every time I was in an intimate situation, it might create a baby, even if birth control was involved. Imagine if you stopped worrying about that.
