What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott Adams?

Scott Adams 0:13
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 day. But if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains... All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, 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 end of the day thing that makes everything better. It's the special Easter sip. And it happens now. Go. Now we're ready. Are you ready for the only new and interesting show of the entire day because all the smart people take Easter off? But I'm always here. Always here. Well, number one, the Grok AI now has a visual mode. So if you have the app, Grok, You can put it in visual mode, and it will see what you see in your room, and it will talk to you about it.

How does Grok AI's visual mode work?

Now, ChatGPT said that for a while, and it is the wildest, greatest feature. If you're trying to fix something, you can just point it at it, and it'll tell you how to fix it. I've done that, and it's just wild. It's like having a person with you. It's like, hey, take a look at this. All right, what do you see? and it'll tell you what it sees, and then it'll tell you what to do with it. It's amazing. But that's not all it can do. So Elon Musk, let's talk about Elon Musk. We've got some Elon Musk news. Whenever there's not enough regular news, you can always count on like six stories that are just about Elon Musk. Anyway, he has proposed a new law requiring all bills in Congress. to be publicly accessible for seven days before a vote.
Scott Adams 2:29
Now, on top of that, I believe Grok can summarize bills now. Now, is that a done deal? I think it can. So get your Grok. It can look at things. It can summarize bills. So I used Grok three or four times this morning. to help me with the context of stories that I was going to talk about, like the Supreme Court stuff. I'll read the stories, but it's always people are starting in the middle.

What new law has Elon Musk proposed regarding Congress?

Scott Adams 3:07
So it's like something already happened, and then they're talking about it in the middle. And I'll be like, wait, wait, what's the larger context? What's it all mean? So I just ask Grok, and it gives me a summary of what happened and why people are upset about it. It's amazing. So I've used it, yeah, three or four times just this morning for work-related stuff. Speaking of Elon Musk, the Neuralink interface, apparently he's getting close to being able to help blind people see. So they're going to attach the Neuralink interface directly to the visual cortex. And people who are completely blind will be able to see for the first time. Now, I don't know if it's only people who have never seen or maybe only works with people who have seen before.
Scott Adams 4:06
But if your visual cortex is working, apparently it will give you sight. Now, he thinks the initial versions will be kind of limited, so it'll be just fuzzy kind of image. But then over time, it will just get better and better. So literally, he's going to help the blind see by connecting to the visual cortex. Is that wild? And then separately, but somewhere related, Mario Noffel is talking about this on X, that the Neuralink brain chip can also help you communicate with your Tesla Optimus robot. Now, you don't yet have your Optimus robot, but if he did, you would be able to just use your brain to tell it what to do. How cool would that be? If you needed help all the time in your house if you were disabled, you'd just be able to think, robot, come here, and the robot would enter the room. And then you'd think, get me a beverage from the refrigerator, and the robot would just do it. How wild would that be? But apparently, that's probably end of 2026. You'll be able to have Neuralink and a robot taking care of you. Wild.

How will Neuralink help blind people see?

Scott Adams 5:33
Now, given that Elon Musk is doing all these valuable things for people in society, what do you think the Democrats think about Elon Musk? Well, of course, they're trying to stop him and destroy him at all costs. And Bernie Sanders did an ex-post in which he is trying to take down Musk. So let's look at what Bernie says, and then I'll tell you my own analysis here. He says, he starts with the U.S.
