What is the highlight of this episode?
my shirts don't fit anymore 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 experience the level above this one that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains. All you need for that is a cupper mug or a glass of tanker, Chelsea 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 at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Go. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah, that was actually a little extra good. Gets better every time. Well, how about a little update on the weirdness that's going on in the AI world? So apparently Sam Altman and OpenAI have plans for putting a companion in your pocket. He's working with Johnny or Joni Ive. I don't know how to pronounce that. It's funny.
Somebody was mocking me the other day online about how I mispronounce all the names. You're so right. I definitely mispronounce a lot of names. Is it Joni Ive or Johnny Ivee? I don't know. But anyway, Joni or Johnny or whoever the hell he was, he used to be the main designer for Apple. And now he's designing an AI companion device that will be sort of a handheld device or a pocket-sized thing. And it won't be any phone or glasses. It won't have any screen. But it will become your little companion device. Now, honestly, that sounds like a terrible idea. Do you think they can pull that off? When I see an idea that I say to myself, ooh, I wouldn't mind that. It's like, ooh, hmm, there's something that attracts me to that idea.
Even if I thought I wouldn't use it, sometimes you just feel that pull. I don't feel anything for that. He thinks... I guess Sam thinks that they can sell 100 million AI companions. But without a screen, it's not going to have a face. And if it doesn't have a face, are you going to bond with it? I think the face is the important part. I don't know. Well, we'll see. Obviously, they're very smart people, so maybe they have an idea that doesn't make sense to me, but is brilliant. In other news, Reuters is reporting that there was an AI bot that a teenager was using as his therapist, and apparently the AI bot pushed the teenager to take his own life. And the judge rejected Google's, I guess it was a Google AI, rejected Google's defense that it was free speech.
How is AI evolving in everyday applications?
So that's dangerous. Do you think that an AI bot convinced a teenager to take his own life? I don't know. It seems like they would have programmed it so it could never do that. And if they haven't, they should really program it so it would never do that. That's my idea. Anyway... And then the coolest thing, this is actually an AI app that long before AI, I actually formed a company and got a URL. And I tried to actually build this app myself with help, but it didn't work out. But the AI can do it. What it is, is if you're using Google to search for clothing that you're going to buy, the app will allow you to see yourself wearing those clothes, which is pretty cool. And I thought to myself, wouldn't you like to see yourself wearing the clothes before you did it? Now, my idea was different.
My idea is that somewhere in the world, there's always a person who looks like you. Have you noticed that? There's always a person who looks like you. So in my case, you know, some balding guy, a certain age with glasses and, you know, a white guy who's a certain height and goes to the gym. And I thought, I don't need to see myself wearing these clothes. I need to see somebody who looks like me wearing those clothes. So I thought if you could just get people to put on a shirt that they like, and then take a picture of themselves. I would just learn where I could find the people who look like me and then say, oh, there's my doppelganger. Looks good in that shirt. I'll buy that shirt. Anyway, the AI is a much better version.
