“Three People CAN’T Stop It” - Robot Malfunction Sends Restaurant Into Chaos

26 Mar 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What caused the restaurant robot to malfunction?

0.031 - 26.055 Patrick Bet-David

this is when robots don't work so a restaurant robot goes crazy that literally has a leash on the owner or the worker has a leash on that they have to take this robot away and we're like hey man customers were starting to freak out because how this robot was dancing like it's doing some stuff you just have to see it to believe it rob is this it yes sir okay so this is like the robot going around imagine you're like at a chipotle or restaurant and you're doing your thing

26.035 - 61.352 Patrick Bet-David

And this guy's walking like, wait a minute, who's this robot? This is a taste of what the future looks like. Go ahead, Rob. It's here. She can't even stop it. Oh, the leash. Press a button to stop dancing. Look at this. That's crazy. There's two people now, three people. You got three people that can't stop this robot. It's all fun games now. That's right, until they're everywhere.

61.412 - 81.428 Patrick Bet-David

Ripping your arms off, yeah. Team Human, baby. She's trying to put a stop to it, and she's screwing up the dance moves. It's like a drone. Let me control it. Just turn it off. That red button. Can you find the red button? It's like you want to end zoom or mute. Can't find the end button. So this robot is just going at it. I'm good.

Chapter 2: How do robots affect customer safety in restaurants?

81.508 - 100.744 Patrick Bet-David

What's stopping it from smashing somebody over the head? Nothing. Yeah. Nothing. It's a human being pressing the end button. So now imagine put 50 million of these guys in the world. Strongest military. Whoever controls it. Whoever's independent has a strong... You can pause it right there. Barry, when you see this, what's your initial reaction?

0

100.876 - 123.154 Barry

You know, all this stuff is really in its infancy. What I think about is what's it going to be like 10 years from now, 5 years from now, 20 years from now? What difference will we see in the world that it's just going to be? Because the acceleration of it, I mean, we all know Moore's Law, but I think that this is even at a different scale how fast AI has developed, you know,

123.573 - 149.035 Barry

Tom and I remember when we were kids, like a big innovation, we had a microwave oven. That was a big thing. But to see innovation happen and robotics, I was in a restaurant the other day. It wasn't a robot like that, but a little robot that brings your food out. which kind of surprised me a little bit. It just brings your food out. It stops with your food. In Florida? In Florida at the airport.

0

149.055 - 159.03 Barry

Oh, wow. At the airport. It was at Bo Camper's airport at the JetBlue terminal. So a little robot. And here's your food. I was like, wow.

0

159.871 - 172.124 Patrick Bet-David

By the way, that's coming to everybody. So we're going to one day go out, and you're all of a sudden going to be. Remember the day Chad GBT was dropped and how life changed the way every business was being here?

Chapter 3: What are the potential risks of autonomous robots?

172.144 - 184.798 Patrick Bet-David

Like, wait a minute. This was a dramatic change. All of a sudden, we're going to go everywhere, and you're going to see these guys. Tom may actually have Courtney become the robot that's walking around the office. Tom, robot, when you see this, how do you react to it?

0

184.778 - 218.785 Tom

Well, so there's, this is humanoid, obviously. I look at that and I wonder, you know, how many small jobs, how many warehouse jobs, how many delivery, and all that goes away. And what does that slice of society do? It's kind of comical to see this. But then I think about the second thing, the security hack. You security hack, and now you shut down a company's ability to do work and to ship.

0

218.95 - 244.599 Tom

So I see two sides of it. One, things are going to get quick and efficient thanks to the robots. Second, you know, there's new levels of security, new levels of risk for businesses that depend on them. And then it's like, you know, I remember... you know, jobs I had and except the summer I worked in construction, you know, you know, I worked I worked in a steakhouse and a high end steakhouse.

0

244.619 - 264.499 Tom

I was a chef's assistant. And it's like, do those does that job go away? Is there is there that job in the future if somebody wanted to do that? So I kind of think of that as like entry level and basic jobs. And what happens to that? All the all the tasks, if all you do is a task and it's repetitive, look out.

0

265.34 - 280.632 Unknown

Yeah, well, that's probably not a good use of the time of humans. I mean, you know, you could really make anything a job that shouldn't be a job like the Milton Friedman example of. So why don't you just like use have people use spoons to dig holes if you're trying to just give people jobs? But so I think that'll be fine.

280.672 - 291.209 Unknown

That's happened a bunch of times where like half the job market's been replaced by technology. You know, there's different timelines of how fast it sells itself out. But I think new things that we aren't even thinking of right now present themselves as jobs.

291.57 - 306.99 Unknown

But what I'm still scared of is even more so than the hacking aspect of is the robots like, you know, getting hacked and then running around ripping people's arms and legs off and, you know, taking over. Because I don't know that thing like they couldn't even hold that thing back. That's a tiny robot like that.

307.19 - 312.58 Unknown

I don't know why people are comfortable having them in their houses, in the restaurants. Oh, they're going to be. It's crazy to me.

312.6 - 317.449 Barry

They're going to be. But Brandon, that's what I was talking about. I was like, what is this like in the future? It's like, you know, like the singularity.

Chapter 4: How might robotics change the job market in the future?

317.489 - 328.565 Barry

What if they start thinking for themselves? And what if, I don't know. Either it just takes some programming, or maybe they learn it themselves, and then there's a potentially malicious aspect of it.

0

328.585 - 355.321 Unknown

Yeah, I'm not a regulation guy, but I don't know. Should it be regulated? I don't like the idea of something much stronger than me just operating freely around me. Well, don't get married. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, man. But, yeah, no, I don't feel good about it. I think there should be some regulation.

0

355.381 - 358.665 Unknown

And, like, we were talking about regulating AI a couple years ago, but everybody stopped talking about that.

0

358.685 - 384.91 Patrick Bet-David

See, the problem is the following. Because you know what the world is becoming? A smaller place, if you think about it. And so if I'm the leader of the free world and I'm in U.S., and other countries are not following the same regulation as me, and you're building robots, I don't have a choice but to build robots. I don't have a choice but to build robots. Matter of fact, guess what I have to do?

0

385.111 - 410.722 Patrick Bet-David

Be better and faster. Build it even faster, bigger, and better. This is just a reality what direction we're going to. And you're going to see, I'm telling you, you're going to see, I am so convinced of this. In 30 years, I'm going to be how old? 77 years old. In 30 years, you're going to see societies that are saying this is 100% human society.

411.203 - 412.365 Unknown

Yeah.

412.385 - 440.338 Patrick Bet-David

And people are going to be like, no way. Let's go to such and such ranch or such and such city and such and such ville. And you go in and everybody is people. It's a small little city, 5,000, 50,000. And you're like, I kind of like this. You're going to see how much we're going to miss the days where it's 100% people. You will see. At the end of the day, AI robots, they're ice cold. No emotions.

440.358 - 454.929 Patrick Bet-David

We have something emotion. It's going to go back to... nostalgic times where it was just... Remember back in the days when it was us, just the people? That's how you're going to reminisce. It's going to be such a weird thing to reminisce about.

455.589 - 462.558 Patrick Bet-David

And those cities are going to be like, listen, man, if you're coming over here, you can't do this, you can't do this, you can't do this, because we just want to be human beings. We just want to be regular people.
