What is the highlight of human civilization discussed?
Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because that's what it is. But if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or 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 of the dopamine end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Sensational. So, so good. Well, there was some kind of an election in Canada, and I don't really care. Does anybody care? Let's take a vote in the comments. Does anybody care about the election in Canada? No?
What are the implications of Amazon's tariff display?
Okay, moving on. Apparently, Amazon has decided to show the tariff costs in your cart before you pay for it. But as Sean Davis pointed out on X, why don't they tell us what country it's being made from? Would you like to know that? Would you love to know what's being made in China? Yes, you would. So it might be nice to know what the tariffs are adding to the cost. But on the other hand, it would also be really nice to know what country is this coming from. That would be fun. Speaking of Jeff Bezos, I guess Amazon is going to launch its... Project Kuiper satellites, according to USA Today. So they're going to launch, what, 27 satellites into low-Earth orbit. What is it for? That's missing in the story. What are they going to use all those satellites for?
How is AI shopping different from Amazon?
I assume they're going to compete for Internet traffic with SpaceX's satellites. They're going to deploy over 3,200 satellites eventually. Is the entire Earth going to be surrounded with satellites at one point? Are we going to dim the sun with so many satellites at some point? Drone delivery? You think it's about drone delivery? Maybe. Yeah, maybe. Could be. Speaking of shopping, the ChatGPT OpenAI is going to add shopping to its AI app. So if you're in ChatGPT, this is a historian wired, you'll be able to search for things and it will pop up with recommendations and it will learn to know your preferences. And so, yeah, it could be competing with Starlink. We don't know. It might be more than that. But would you shop with AI?
Because I've tried to shop with AI, and it's actually pretty good because it gives you links to the actual vendor. You know, it's not acting like Amazon. It would give you links to Amazon and other vendors. I kind of like that. So I don't know how they're going to make their money. So they're not going to have sponsored ads, or at least they don't yet. But don't you think it would be better to shop with an AI than to even go to Amazon? Although I got to say, Amazon.com, the actual software, is probably the best software I've ever seen. Have you ever stopped to think? how incredible it is that Amazon.com works, and it works really well, and it's optimized, and it's easy to navigate. I'm always wowed by how good Amazon is with software.
Apparently, IBM is going to invest $150 billion in the U.S., to grow its manufacturing over five years. So add that to the Trump tariff wins. Apparently, we've got quite a few companies now that are going to move their manufacturing to the U.S. So that part of what Trump is trying to do seems to be working, at least at some scale. Speaking of Trump, he just signed an executive order to require truck drivers to speak English. Now, I didn't know that was a big problem, that truck drivers didn't speak English, a lot of them. But apparently it is. And it's not just a small problem. Apparently that inability to speak English has led to a number of accidents.
