What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott?
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. 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 time. But if you'd like to try to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, for that you need a cup or mug or a glass of tanker gels, 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 hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now. Go. I hope you are doing that at home with your child or your grandchild. Got to start them early. Well, I wonder if there's any new science about the benefits of coffee. Yes, turns out there are.
According to something called In My Bowl... which doesn't sound like a good name for a publication in my bowl. Apparently, coffee can help with erectile dysfunction in men. So that's why you should always have a donut with your coffee. Everybody catching up with that? All right. Got to bring a donut. All right. All right, I thought it was funny, but it's still early.
How does coffee relate to loneliness in young men?
According to the Gallup poll, the Hill was talking about this. Young American men are lonelier than in other countries. Did you know that? That about 25% of American men under 35 feel lonely, even with a donut. And that's more than other countries. Only the country of Turkey is a little bit lonelier. But don't worry, because Meta has their AI digital friend that's available now. So you don't need human beings with flesh and blood and the ability to touch you and affect your oxytocin. No, you need a Meta AI digital friend. If I were lonely, I would probably try it. I'd try it. How many of you would give it a try? Because it's not like it's illegal or anything. And it's not expensive. So would it really be the worst thing in the world if you had a digital friend?
What insights does Scott share about AI digital friends?
I tried a digital friend when AI was brand new, and it was just too lame. It didn't remember you the next time. But they fixed a lot of that stuff. So I don't know. Maybe get yourself a digital friend. It's going to work for some of you. So Microsoft keeps announcing all these upgrades to their version of AI. And I don't know about you, but I don't understand any of them. They're all technical. It's all stuff like, well, the agentic this or that is now able to interact with with the API of the overextended transistor. It's just a bunch of words. And I'm thinking to myself, if everything that Microsoft does, you can only understand if you're an engineer, it's not really going to replace the engineer.
Because somebody needs to know what all of those jargon words mean and then put them into practice. So I don't know if AI is going to replace as many people as we think. we did see i did see some stories of some company who replaced 40 of their workload but we also saw a story of a company that did the same thing and then had to add back their humans because the ai agentic stuff didn't work at all so we'll see i saw a video of optimus the robots practicing household chores. It was doing stuff like open the cabinet and take a square of paper towel. And I was trying to imagine that in the real world. One of the tasks was take the bag of garbage and put it in the outdoor garbage bin. and it puts it in, and it's kind of overfilled, so it can't really close the top. What would happen if that robot were in the real world with humans?
Well, I don't know what relationships you've ever been in, but no two people agree on what you should do if the garbage is overfilled. Sometimes I'll look at it and I'll say, oh, They tell you not to overfill the garbage because they might leave it. They threaten, if the garbage is overfilled, we'll just leave it. And I think, oh, that would be the giant pain in the ass.
