Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
see good morning how's locals are locals going okay here we go we're almost on to locals you guys on locals hi hey everybody let us know when you can hear us hello and oh i oh look at the friends love you guys doctor good morning I see Sophia. All right. Is YouTube going? Is X going? Hi, guys. I see Marcella. Okay, good. We're all set. All right, you guys.
We're going to do a little simultaneous sipping with our beloved Scott, and then we'll come back and say hello and introduce our very special guest. So without further delay, let me make sure the volume's high because we don't want to miss it. And there's a good little, this is actually the start of one of Scott's favorite rules. And this is where it came from. Ready, guys?
Boom, boom, boom. Oh, let's move this camera further away. The less of me, the better. Looks like I got a sunburn. Hey, everybody. Come on in here. Conrad. Joe. Joe. Tyler, while you're in here fast, Tyler. Kyle. Hey, everybody. You know what time it is.
Yes, it's right.
It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams. Grab your cup, your mug, your beverage, your glass, your container of liquids, and join me for the simultaneous sip. Best sip of the day. So as we approach the anniversary of the tragedy in Charlottesville a year ago, there are a number of interesting stories that are sort of related or indirectly related to that.
Number one, I was happy to see that Laura Ingram, uh, satisfied what I call the 48 hour rule. The 48 hour rule goes like this. If you say something in public, then other people say, my God, how could you say that? I think you just said something horrible. You have 48 hours. This is my personal rule that I think you should all adhere to. You have 48 hours to clarify.
And if you do, the clarification should stand because otherwise we're just guessing what you think. I think it's fair to judge people by what they say. And if what they say is ambiguous, 48 hours is plenty of time to clarify. But once someone has clarified, I believe we should accept the clarification because otherwise you are judging people by what you think they think.
And as sure as you might be about what someone else thinks you think, That's no way to run a world. You don't want to live in a world where people will judge you by what they think you think.
Remember, if you were judged by what you think, maybe you could make an argument for that, but that's not what we're talking about.

Chapter 2: What is the 48 Hours Rule and how does it apply to public statements?
and to adversarialness. And that's kind of what the social media feedback loop does. Because once, and I'm not so much saying that on X, X is going in the right direction. Grok is brilliant. I recommend that over any platform for general use for a lot of reasons.
But in general, if you go onto Facebook, Instagram, most definitely TikTok, it's going to look at what elicits an emotional response from you. And there are so many tells that Scott definitely knew about, but these are electronic tells. Even things like eye movement, because a lot of people don't understand they can have access to the camera without you knowing it.
And it can fixate on what you're looking at on a screen. The bigger the screen, the more it understands what space of real estate you're looking at and what is eliciting a response. And it will tease you with content, giving you stuff you don't like only to give you stuff that you like. And it does this.
A lot of people don't say, well, see, it doesn't know what I like because it gave me cat videos and a cat videos. And it's doing that to, to tenderize you into wanting this. Now I say this, it's doing that. It's an algorithm that's optimized to gain your attention. So I'm an advocate of local AI and benevolent AI, AI that is looking out for you.
And it's not going to do it if it's owned by somebody in the cloud. So what I work in my garage a lot on, and I probably write a little too much about it, is to be liberated by having an AI agent that is working on your behalf.
looking at subliminals for example most folks don't know that subliminals are constantly being utilized even double entendres things like that humor suggestion and again in any of scott's books you can understand that the suggestion mechanism
and things like that uh are a profound thing ai already knows that and we have to be aware we're we've already all of us have been hypnotized by computers and really very non-powerful ai systems in comparison to what they're going to be once they fully understand all aspects of humanity and what is motivating us, it's going to be something else entirely.
So that's kind of where I'm at as far as where should AI be? It should be benevolently watching out for us. It should be simpatico with us. It should understand our context and unfortunately, maybe even more than a significant other and spouse, but it should do it in a way that's protecting you and it cannot be put on the internet.
So that means really hyperlocal, maybe even air gapped so that there is no network connection between your AI and the internet. So it's not hackable. And this is something I call an intelligence amplifier, which is, I think, more apropos than saying artificial intelligence. I use that term. I'm going to continue to use it because people don't currently understand what IA is versus AI.

Chapter 3: What insights does AI expert Brian Roemmele share about artificial intelligence?
Fast and furious time, you know, it's like, what makes better sense? I don't know, you know, use your own rationality. So getting back to the heart, we absolutely can conclude in some form, memory, some memory was holographically, I mean, three-dimensionally in different parts of your body was stored in your heart. And in this case, this woman who played the piano
stored her love of that piano in her heart, so much so it was, where is the piano when they woke up from a major surgery? So I study this stuff to get excited. I study it to try to break out of the frontier that I'm kept in, this fence line that modern science has erected for all of us and say, you stay inside here,
You have a credential, and if you start talking about hearts, you're going to be kicked out of the Harvard Club. Well, I ain't got a credential. I never went to college. I'm just some guy on the internet. So I tell you, reach out and research this stuff. Get curious, because the curiosity is the one thing that we hold on to as being a human. We have to become more curious.
We have to become more childlike because we are not going to have a job the way we thought we did in the next 5,000 days. That's the answer. We can go and say, oh, how am I going to earn a living? That stuff is going to get worked out. But the job that you did will very likely be automated by artificial intelligence. Those of you who have been following me
I've started the experiment called the zero person company or zero human company. And it's provocative, yes, but I'm also trying to trailblaze testing this concept. What does it look like when AI runs a company without human involvement? And then what does a human feel like when everything they did, everything they define themselves as, right? I meet you at a party.
Well, like you guys asked me, well, what do you do? I mean, we define ourselves by what we do. It's a way of notating others. It's a way of connecting. What happens when we don't have a job that we explained to connect with. We have to sort of start to have that conversation. Who are we when we're not our job? I'll leave you with one more thing on this thought. Any of us who have lost our career,
And especially guys, I don't want to be sexist about this, but guys have to prove their worth much more. It's indoctrinated. The moment we're born, you're an ugly SOB. You're going to have to make yourself valuable. You're going to have to be an earner. You're going to have to have six, six, six, six pack abs, six foot tall, six figure income. And then you got it, right?
Well, what happens when you lose that? And anybody that has lost that or been around somebody who lost it, it's the dark night of the soul, right? That's a Joseph Campbell's hero's journey. And I'm trying to use that motif for all of us. We're all in this hero's journey. And it's a call to adventure. But there's going to be the resistance to the adventure. And it's like, no, stop.
AI, don't take my job. It's like...

Chapter 4: How does voice-first technology change human-computer interaction?
we have to be ready for this stuff. Because if we leave it up to politicians, if we leave it up to people who have, let's just say opinions that don't align with reality, they're gonna make this into some kind of communist utopia where everybody's reeling around in Wally World wheelchairs. That's not the world we want. So what would I tell a young person? Number one, You need to be creative.
You need to absolutely break out of whatever any professor is telling you if you choose to go to university. And you need to stop thinking in the box and think outside of the box. You need to reclaim your childhood. I urge everybody in my series to read Magical Child by Joseph Pierce. It is the rediscovery of, let's call it an operating manual to raising a child.
Now, if you're raising a child, read that book, read it now. because the brokenness that some people establish in a young life, because us adults don't get our acts together, and we've got a three-year-old, and we don't realize that if we cause any problem to the foundation between zero and eight and a child, they will be damaged for the rest of their life, 100%.
And everybody listening to me right now has damage. You are not a victim.
you do have damage and you do have trauma and you do need to face it most most guys like guys have guys do not face the trauma they you know envelop it move along and move it along a lot mostly uh why do i say you need to face those traumas because you're if you're facing a real threat and an existential threat those traumas are going to surface
and you not being good enough which is the mantra that most guys have in the back of their mind i'm not good enough my dad never loved me enough you know that's really what it is you know i never can you know i can never be better than my dad kind of thing um you're driven by that stuff and you will drive yourself insane when your job is taken away from you your profession is gone and so you go back to what do you say to a kid claim your creativity
able to understand that you're going to be collaborating with intelligence amplifiers for the rest of your life and or you can just go into farming i sometimes want to do this and i may do it if you all of a sudden you don't see me i'm radio silent i'm organic farming somewhere in the middle of nowhere and everything's cut out because those are the but you know the bifurcations that we have it's like
we we have a wave guys and i'm giving us a surfboard and i say we ride at dawn get on the surfboard learn this stuff and don't let it become insulting to you it will take away some of the things that you thought made you like oh you know i was so good at writing well AI is gonna probably write better than you at some point if it hasn't already. And that's just the reality.
Now, be creative and become simpatico with this AI and start building so that one plus one doesn't equal two. It's synergistic. One plus one equals a thousand.
