Chapter 1: What are the main political dramas involving MTG and Trump?
Come on in. It's time. You know, it's time. If only I could find... Yes, there it is. How are the stocks today? Stocks doing okay? Let me check before I go live. Uh-oh. Stocks, not good. We won't be talking about that. Nope. 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, take a chance on elevating 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 kenteen, a 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 of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now. The sip of sips. Well, I saw that Elon Musk had noted that his competitor, Waymo, the self-driving car taxi company, has expanded to the entire Bay Area, San Francisco Bay Area. That's where I live.
So now I can take a Waymo, way more Waymo than I could. Yep. Way more than I could. And I was wondering how big a deal it is to be the first self-driving car company in an area.
Don't you think that if you loaded one app and it worked out, let's say you put the Waymo app on your phone and then you call the Waymo and it showed up and you were happy with the experience, would you even do another one? Or would you just say, oh, I'm a Waymo person now? does everything I need to do. I think going first is going to be a really big deal. So Elon better get some local firsts.
Although, if you were going to try two things, you'd try Waymo and then you would definitely try Tesla. So if you're going to try two things, the second one would, if not the first thing, would definitely be Tesla. Elon says that AI is run out of human knowledge to train on. So now the knowledge it trains on is knowledge it makes up. How in the world does that work? It just makes up knowledge?
And then it trains itself on the stuff it made up? Does that sound like it would work? Does your common sense tell you that AI can get smarter by simply hallucinating what's true and then acting like it just got trained on something that was true? How does that work? I don't know. I'm a little bit suspicious that that's a real thing.
But I like the idea that AI has already run out of human knowledge to train on. All of human knowledge has now been basically used, nothing left. So that's how smart the AI is. So there was this guy, LeCun, LeCun, who was the head AI guy at Meta. He's reporting leaving Meta. I think I told you this before, but I didn't give you the reason, which I just found out today.
The reason he's leaving Meta, the top AI guy, You see, he doesn't think the large language models are a path to human level AI. He calls it a dead end. So one of the guys who arguably would be the top AI guys in the country is in complete agreement with the cartoonist who has spent really no time in AI. And we have exactly the same prediction. Hey, this doesn't look like it could go very far.

Chapter 2: How does Gavin Newsom's use of 'Latinx' reflect political hypocrisy?
I don't know how long we have to wait before they get some people. All right. Oh, and then Wiener's name was spelled Wiser. And Huba Abedin was spelled Abedin with two Ts instead of one. And there were no other misspellings in the email. So the only misspellings... were the people they were trying to hide, and it was their last names.
So Dr. Oz, CMS administrator, tells us that Trump is considering, doesn't mean he's going to do it, but he is considering extending the Obamacare subsidies. At least until they can figure out something better to do. That makes sense. You should at least consider it. Doesn't mean he's going to do it. Fareed Zakaria of CNN shocked the world today by going hard at Democrats.
He's been hinting at it before, but boy, did he go hard at Democrats today. And he said that if Democrats want to rebuild faith in their electorate, they must rediscover the lost art of competence. Competence. That's the bar they have to cross? Competence? That's not a very high bar, is it? All right.
But Farid says that when government seems incapable of building housing, schools, or balancing budgets, even sympathetic voters lose faith. Well, he's right. You are right, Farid. You're going to have to do something right, or it's going to be hard to get elected. Just do something right, anything. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is taking over another CEO job. He'll be a co-CEO, I think.
in a new AI startup called Project Prometheus. And they would use AI for engineering and manufacturing and computer audios and spacecraft. It's got about $6 billion in it, 100 hires. Now, why would Jeff Bezos, of all people, want a regular job again? Oh, yeah, I think I'll go to work and get a paycheck, have a regular job. Now, obviously, as CEO, it's not a regular job, but
Why would he even want to do this? Well, here's something I know that maybe you don't know. If AI does what it's supposed to do, and some people think it won't, but if it does, imagine the impact it would have on engineering and manufacturing and the big stuff like autos and computers and spacecraft. It would be the biggest thing.
So you think that Amazon is big because it sells things to basically everyone? Do you know how big it would be if there were an Amazon for learning how to build stuff? So suppose that Amazon was the thing that sold things, but that Jeff Bezos builds this other company that can manufacture anything. And then he's got another company that can sell anything.
He would kind of own everything, wouldn't he? If they can build anything and then they can sell anything, he's got it done. That's all he needs to do. So that'd be cool. Well, allegedly, Trump is thinking about focusing on affordability for 2026 and beyond. Affordability. Do you believe that?
Do you think Trump would just borrow the Democrat rallying cry, the one that Momdami, the communist, as he would say, is pushing, affordability? Do you think he'd just steal it and say, oh, that's pretty good. I'll just take that. Affordability. Well, it wouldn't be a bad play to just adopt it because it works. There's nothing wrong with adopting the part that the other person does that works.

Chapter 3: How are Trump's comments on media censorship significant?
Affordable is different than tiny, although sometimes they can be the same. Yeah, I don't know what they'll be. But it's hard to get approval for anything, but it'll probably be easier to get approval for low-cost stuff. Toyota is going to build a battery factory in the U.S., another one. I guess we've got some already. And a $10 billion investment. Wow. Create up to 5,100 new American jobs.
We'll take it. And meanwhile, over in Ukraine and Russia, New York Post is reporting that Ukraine attacked a major Russian oil refinery and also the site of elite drone units. So... There are about 10 of them, the Russian oil refineries. So I think at the current rate that Ukraine is destroying them, they're probably rebuilding at about the same rate.
So I'm not really feeling like there's any progress. All right. So they're just a little robot war going after each other. Meanwhile, according to the Wall Street Journal, Hamas is more popular than ever among the Palestinians. Wait, what? Hamas is more popular than ever among the Palestinians? Do you think we did something wrong there? Did somebody do something wrong?
Because I'm not really, wasn't really looking for Hamas to get more popular. That's a scary situation. But apparently that's happened. Meanwhile in Venezuela, Trump said he would talk to Maduro, head of Venezuela. But I like that Trump in general is willing to talk to whoever he needs to talk to.
I always thought it was the dumbest thing that our leaders would say, oh, we cannot talk to you until you make these concessions. How about you just talk to us? How about everybody talks to everybody? How about that? So anyway, Trump says he'll talk to Maduro if it comes to that, which is the right answer.
But I think that Trump wants to wait for those talks until he's frightened Venezuela with his military buildup. So once you have the entire military surrounding Venezuela, then you say stuff like, you know, this would be a good time to talk. Anybody want to talk? Talking would be fun. All right, that's all I got for you today. It's going to be a short show because Monday is boring.
Yeah, Monday is boring. Did I read you a reframe yet? Or is that upcoming? I can't remember if I read it. Did I? Or was I planning to read it? All right. Did I already read you... No? All right. Here's one. Here's one that might be additional, but... All right. So this might be on top of... Or maybe not. So a usual frame is that some people have willpower and some people do not.
And if you do not have willpower, you would be called weak. If you do have willpower, somebody would say, hey, you've got some willpower there. But here's a reframe from not thinking you have enough willpower and that people who also don't seem to have willpower are weak. The reframe is that some people get more pleasure from certain vices than you do. And that's it. So let me put it this way.
I'm not somebody who... loves eating, although sometimes I do, but it's not like my passion or anything, but have you seen people whose passion is eating or their passion is wine or their passion is something that's not good for them? Yeah. So, let me open that up again. So the reframe is that sometimes you just like things more than other people.
