Jack Armstrong
Armstrong and getty replay so i came across this in substack yesterday from this guy named timothy lee who i do not know but his article was he's he writes about ai for a living and his headline was ai skeptics and ai boosters are both wrong and i gave that a look and everybody everybody's guessing to a certain extent here but i i just thought this was an interesting take a take i hadn't heard before earlier this month he writes i attended an ai conference called the curve in berkeley california just a few miles from where we are a lot of people there were agi pilled he calls it for example i participated in a role playing exercise organized by this dude who argues that ai systems will soon achieve human level intelligence then they will rapidly improve themselves leading to superhuman ai capabilities and an extreme acceleration of scientific discovery and economic growth then he went across the hall to another conference where a different agi pilled writer that's someone who believes so much this who believes the super intelligent ai will kill everyone on the planet he said go back to the first one he said at the opposite end of the spectrum are skeptics who believe ai is not just overhyped but practically useless this perspective wasn't well represented at the conference but it came up a lot we mentioned this a couple of weeks ago there was a piece in the new york times quoting this study one of your one of your big godfathers of ai you know there's a handful of people that are really well respected whenever they talk about ai one of those people wrote a column in the new york times citing this mit study which we have talked about before a recent study run by mit's program that looks into this sort of stuff found that ninety five percent of companies that did ai pilot studies found little or no return on their investment and financial analysis projects an estimated shortfall of eight hundred billion dollars in revenue for ai companies by the end of twenty thirty that it's not going to pan out near the way they thought so that article got a lot of attention at the time and apparently came up a lot in this.
- [06:08]
Joe Getty
Conference i can contradict that right now but go ahead do that later no go ahead oh just i happened to yesterday afternoon have a conversation with a good friend who is an attorney of great experience and success and works for a fairly important law firm and he's actually my friend who i've mentioned who is licensed to practice both in the us and britain he is no dummy he and his company are working with a certain university on ai programs for law and he was describing to me how they were designing ai personas i think was the term he used that would approach a problem as he would not just as a generic attorney or as a computer but as he has and would throughout his career and that's based on extensive interviews and study of how he does it and he said the results were scary good wow yeah.
- [07:06]
Jack Armstrong
I don't buy the it's not going to be profitable or be a thing i lean more toward ruining the world than toward making it better personally even though i think it will make it better and it'll it'll be able to cure diseases and help you figure out medication and all kinds of different things but it at the same time is going to ruin the world and you know if it ruins the world what good does it do if i mean if nobody has jobs and nobody gets together in relationships anymore who cares if it's curing these obscure cancers right in.
- [07:37]
Joe Getty
The few remaining human beings right produced.
- [07:39]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah but anyway i wanted to get to this part and then i will shut up about it because i won't worry out but i thought it was this interesting this guy writes my view is between these two extremes i think that ai has generally genuinely impressive capabilities that are likely to improve further in the coming months and years i think the ai industry is likely to be profitable in the long run and that openai's basic business model is perfectly reasonable but i don't think we're very close to human level intelligence at all i don't think ai is about to drive the kind of massive social and economic changes that agi pilled folks expect then he gets into some of his reasoning after that that gets complicated and uses phrases and terms that you have to look up but there is a crowd out there that believes well kind of what i just kind of what i just said but not completely he believes yeah it's a thing and it's gonna it's gonna come along and it's it's going to be impactful but it's not going to upend society and our economic models in ways that we need to be worried about and i hope he's.
- [08:33]
Joe Getty
Right yeah yeah i i don't think he is i think there is a wide swath of so called white collar jobs that will vanish i'm completely convinced.
- [08:46]
Jack Armstrong
Of that there's that and then i think a lot of these people because they're computer geeks which in most cases by definition means you're kind of like not a normal person in society i think they vastly underestimate what it's going to do to relationships in society and coupling and all that sort of stuff because they're such outliers as human beings to start with i'm not sure that a lot of these people even can conceive of thinking about that issue because they just don't live in that world of like going out and dating and blah blah blah well and a lot.
- [09:24]
Joe Getty
Of opinion leaders are also self motivated go getters and so they can't conceive of because you no longer have to work to take care of yourself you become a blob of of dinner on week because they would find something right but a hell of a lot of human beings aren't made like that most.
- [09:45]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah the vast majority and i feel like we've already seen enough of the people having relationships with chatbots when it's at its current level of engagement that it's in inevitable that it becomes a huge problem i can't i can't imagine the argument that says no it's not it's not going to be a big deal you aren't going to have millions of incel dudes who are so obsessed with their ai chatbot and porn that they never get with a real woman that won't happen i don't understand that.
- [10:22]
Joe Getty
Argument at all right oh my gosh i've got a great think piece around here somewhere about the rise of that very sort of young man and how they quickly become embittered and hateful and for instance kill charlie kirk or try to put a bullet in donald j trump's head for the the very scenario you were describing and then then for.
- [10:45]
Jack Armstrong
Women because women tend to be more about the emotions than most dudes in general man the getting some sort of comfort from a chat dude that talks to you about your problems and agrees that you've been wronged by your mom and your sister i just think that's going to be a huge thing right.
- [11:06]
Joe Getty
Just as an aside as you were speaking jack i quickly did a search on how old is the saying idle hands are the devil's playthings or are similar phrasings of the same thought and it definitely goes back to the old testament sure it's in proverbs idle hands are the well it depends which you know translation you have it endured throughout the early days of christianity here are a bunch of citations from the medieval period here are early english usages in the fifteen hundreds through the seventeen hundreds the wording probably solidified in the eighteenth or nineteenth century but the idea itself is at least fourteen hundred years old with deep roots in early christian moral teaching it is an idea that has never receded from human consciousness that idle hands are the devil's playthings and yet we are moving as quickly as possible toward a mechanism to idle as many.
- [12:10]
Jack Armstrong
Hands as possible that's only works that's true but it only works because you believe that a lot of people are not self motivated to do something the remember nancy pelosi famously saying this will be a chance everybody can be an artist or a poet or whatever yeah a lot of people are going to kind of talk about that but they aren't going to like engage in eight hours of effort every single day to be whatever they're going to be and be occupied no they're going to sit around and get you know navel gazingly selfish and insular in their lives and it's going to go off the rails.
- [12:47]
Joe Getty
And high and high all right here's a little poetry for you nancy roses are red violets are blue agi is here humanity's through there you go there's.
- [13:00]
Jack Armstrong
A little.
- [13:03]
Joe Getty
Artificial generalized intelligence that's the agi right yeah yeah yeah yeah it's not a good poem but you know i'm a beginner the armstrong and getty show get more jack more joe podcasts and our hot links at armstrongandgetty dot.

The armstrong and getty show so there are a couple of topics climate cultism is one and gender cultism is another where the tide is finally starting to turn although i would argue we've got a hell of a long road to go before sanity's really install restored and we've got a gender bending madness update coming up next hour but on the climate thing bill gates made a lot of headlines this week when he said essentially yeah maybe like doing everything we can possibly do to reduce reduce emissions at the cost of our economies and standards of living et cetera is maybe not the right strategy why don't we just deal with maybe some of the discomfort slight climate changes might cause and look after people being able to feed themselves and not die of diseases and stuff like that instead of putting all of our eggs in the climate basket why he made that change maybe he just woke up to reality in my opinion or whether he's motivated by ai's voracious need for electricity i don't.
- [14:20]
Jack Armstrong
Know well his just his flat statement of mankind is not going to come to its end because of climate change well it's the flat out opposite of what he's been saying for twenty years.
- [14:30]
Joe Getty
Right well and also the idea that we in particular the western world because the other parts of the world don't give a crap that we can make these enormous sacrifices and it will turn the tide has never been true it was demonstrably false for years and he's finally woken up to it anyway i thought this was interesting headline the world turns to energy pragmatism happens to be in the dispatch energy section sponsored by the pacific legal foundation good friends of the armstrong and getty show and let's see roger pilkey is writing about the fact that you've got leaders all around the world saying similar things like canadian prime minister mark carney a decade ago he warned that remaining fossil fuel reserves may become unburnable if the world wants to avoid a climate catastrophe in recent months he's fast tracked approval of new liquefied natural gas export terminals in british columbia promising quote to transform our country into an energy superpower okay in the uk prime minister keir starmer who needs to get out of office as soon as possible must soon decide whether to relax aggressive climate targets that have crippled britain's economy a government insider recently told the guardian quote if it comes to a choice between hitting the climate target and overpaying or missing it and keeping costs down we're going to miss it.
- [15:59]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah britain went net zero and just destroyed their economy i was listening to a podcast about that a couple of weeks ago and it was shocking that i wasn't more aware of this the damage they did to their own economy over this thank god we didn't oh.
- [16:13]
Joe Getty
Yeah yeah you got your german chancellor freddie mertz recently acknowledged the competing economic objectives that accompany an ambitious climate agenda quote none of us are questioning the goal of climate protection all of us are of the opinion we must combine this with the competitiveness of european industry all the people who've had their economic prospects crushed over the last fifteen years are probably saying oh great way to wake up now fred but it actually more than that like your greek prime minister unpronounceable writing for the financial times argued in favor of a more pragmatic energy transition quote if we must accept some emissions for a bit longer to save our industries or to maintain social cohesion so be it we have to have these debates honestly we cannot begin with climate neutrality and hope everything else falls into place yeah a lot of.
- [17:04]
Jack Armstrong
Us have been saying that for a.
- [17:05]
Joe Getty
Long time yeah practically word for word one or two more and then more on that theme chris coons of delaware a highly partisan democrat recently told politico that climate is not a top three.
- [17:18]
Jack Armstrong
Issue right now wow i didn't know.
- [17:20]
Joe Getty
That senator brian schatz of hawaii it's a pretty name went even further arguing that unfortunate event yes at a new york times event last month that costs need to be front and center when talking about energy quote you could talk about the planetary emergency and mitigation and adaptation you could throw in some environmental justice rhetoric but by the time you're done talking people don't think you care about them the way to victory is to talk about price okay welcome glad to have you at the party thanks chat we're just cleaning up and washing the dishes you know what yes you've been having shats on the american people for too long with your climate cultism so the one bitter note about people finally coming correct careers were crushed people run out of science and academia for saying these very things people were like canceled on twitter and facebook for saying the very things the left is now.
- [18:20]
Jack Armstrong
Saying god i hope we don't do that again have we learned something from COVID or climate and the trans craziness that you got to let people have.
- [18:29]
Joe Getty
Their opinions out there probably for a while we have and then those lessons get fuzzier over time and you you repeat them history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes as they say.
- [18:43]
Jack Armstrong
Still laughing over your juvenile joke how dare you i agree shut up this time i.
- [18:50]
Joe Getty
Agree with you shut up you yeah she's a poor autistic kid who got exploited by adults who made millions of dollars off the climate scam i shouldn't be mean to her i mean she's an adult now but please well they should be back in school you know you're right i agree with you they.
- [19:06]
Jack Armstrong
Ran into the problem the climate change activists of like a lot of doomsday cults like you know the world is going to end on twenty nineteen and then twenty nineteen comes and the world doesn't end it kind of ruins your credibility and that's what happened with a lot of your climate change stuff i mean you go back and look at some of the things gore claimed was going to happen by twenty years ago.
- [19:29]
Joe Getty
Yeah yeah well and then the claims of the effect that their policies would have are completely fanciful you haven't changed the output of you know crap globally speaking nearly enough to crap that's a nice technical term you know the fossil fuels and carbon and the rest of it you haven't changed it nearly enough to matter so quit wasting our time in economies on your cult and again how often do you see this pattern there are people making billions and billions of dollars off of selling climate fear and then you've got the good hearted soft headed greta thunbergs of the world and the college kids on the campuses who believe it with one hundred percent sincerity and they're the army that marches for the activists i think in honor.

Armstrong and getty show if you're i'm guessing most of you don't pay any attention to think tanks at all but if you if you're lean conservative and you do know anything about him heritage foundation was huge and big and we talked a lot last week about how disappointing it was that they became so concerned about not angering tucker carlson apparently.
- [24:16]
Joe Getty
And attacked anybody who criticized in platforming nazis story out kissing vladimir putin's ass.
- [24:24]
Jack Armstrong
Too by the way story out today this is in the wall street journal the crack up at the heritage foundation is a warning sign for maga employees at the heritage foundation who had been working on ukraine policy were asked to watch tucker carlson's monologues which were full of conspiracy theories about the war and just flat out lies to delete past tweets in support of ukraine aid i guess in case tucker saw them and to write papers reflecting the new more isolationist policy at heritage this was to the employees working on ukraine policy you're you need to watch more of the tucker carlson monologues at heritage isn't that something yeah to which david french who i don't always agree with but writes for the new york times the rot is so incredibly deep it's astonishing to me that the heritage foundation of all institutions would become an instrument of russian propaganda that's what tucker carlson's monologues were pure propaganda so all right there you.
- [25:27]
Joe Getty
Go like oohing and eyeing over the grocery store and in russia that was.
- [25:33]
Jack Armstrong
Just shameless yeah and how you know putin standing up for christianity and traditional values and stuff like that and you know like i said earlier i don't quite understand how powerful tucker is or candace owens or nick fuentes versus other things but heritage apparently was scared of them this is joe's been talking about this more than me but this will continue to have other shoes dropping the immigration problem they got in europe particularly in this case great britain looking at this picture of a boat from today fifteen hundred channel migrants that's what they call people that who enter great britain from france and just come across whatever it is sixty miles of the channel.
- [26:15]
Joe Getty
They were living in the english channel and now they're they're living here fifteen.
- [26:18]
Jack Armstrong
Hundred channel migrants have crossed illegally from france since thursday for the third straight day hundreds more are crossing into uk waters total this year now is over thirty eight five hundred which is a tiny number by u s joe biden era standards but a lot from there well ahead of the thirty six zero zero zero who arrived during the whole of twenty twenty four so i got people showing up in boatloads illegals from all around mostly from middle east africa get to france once they get into europe and then crossing the channel in these boats and for whatever reason the rules in great britain they don't have a way to stop the vessels and turn them around or keep them from.
- [26:55]
Joe Getty
Coming onshore yeah part of that's eu and part of it's although they did the brexit part of it's that they've got progressives in charge worth mentioning because i just happened to check this the uk as a whole has about a fifth of our population so if you want to talk about disruptive influence and of immigrants from other cultures you know that's pretty big number that they were talking about dwarfed by the biden era quite so oh speaking of the immigration problem you mind if i squeeze this in real quick i mentioned earlier the shameless metropolitan police trying to downplay an ugly ugly murder by an afghan immigrant on an old man and and how they just in orwellian fashion turned it into an incident in which a man sadly died like you know he'd had a heart attack and died alone watching the tv but then you've got this story out of it's reloading thank you very much a swedish swedish court ruled that an eritrean migrant who raped a sixteen year old girl will not be deported because the rape didn't last long enough oh my god she missed her bus was walking through a pedestrian tunnel after finishing her shift at a mcdonald's an eighteen year old eritrean migrant yazid muhammad attacked her raped her she he was sentenced to three years in prison and the prosecutor wanted to deport him but the court of appeals noted the man has refugee status and to deport him would require a quote exceptionally serious offense and allowing them to remain in sweden would pose a serious threat to public order and safety but the rape was deemed not serious enough to justify the deportation with the court of appeals citing among other factors the duration of the rape in its assessment which is just stunning i know it's terrible this is europe trying to figure out what the hell to do with itself after allowing rampant immigration of people who in many cases hate their culture hate the dominant religion stuff like that here's a freedom of information report from the center for migration control in the uk they were keeping track of crime rates among various immigrant groups that they refused to release to the press until a freedom of information request which nationalities commit the most violent sexual and theft offenses conviction rates in england and wales by nationality per ten thousand people for the years twenty twenty one through twenty twenty three violent crimes per ten thousand people sixteen uk natives get convicted of those crimes it's eighty gambians ninety one iraqis one hundred two per ten thousand afghanistan citizens somalians about one hundred thirty so we're almost at ten times the rate of uk citizens and congolese it's one hundred and eighty seven per ten thousand it's about twelve times as many as uk citizens sexual violence uk citizens six per ten thousand afghans it's sixty per ten thousand eritreans it's fifty four namibians fifty chadians forty moldovans thirty eight and theft eighteen per ten thousand native born brits folks from algeria it's three hundred and twenty for ten thousand eighteen for brits three hundred and twenty for algerians moroccans it's two hundred and twenty six romanians one hundred thirty two congolese one hundred thirty folks from chad one hundred twenty there are poor people many unskilled who come to a country where they're not supposed to be and not supposed to work of course they turn to crime but the but the the brits are desperate to keep that quiet.
- [31:01]
Jack Armstrong
Kids and i ate at a well known diner chain over the weekend i'll call it lenny's i want to talk about that in a second but just came across this information we got an asteroid headed it's not going to hit earth but it's going to come by asteroid psyche sixteen is its name anyway they believe it contains because you know we send up these probes and everything like that to these asteroids this asteroid contains gold reserves worth seven hundred quintillion dollars which i don't know i actually know what a quintillion is but and i'd buy.
- [31:35]
Joe Getty
A new car if i had that.
- [31:36]
Jack Armstrong
Astro sounds like a big number yeah seven hundred quintillion dollars worth of gold on it that's enough to make everyone on earth billionaires of course there's a economic flaw with that argument not sure gold would continue to hold the value it has we each had seven thousand.
- [31:58]
Joe Getty
Pounds of it and the costs of extraction from a asteroid hurtling through space have got to be considerable wouldn't that.
- [32:07]
Jack Armstrong
Be something if it hit earth trump.
- [32:10]
Joe Getty
Ought to annex it just in case everybody knows it's ours all of a.
- [32:13]
Jack Armstrong
Sudden gold's worthless because there's so much.
- [32:14]
Joe Getty
Of it yeah that would be crazy people would be just literally oh that reminds me i was gonna say making solid gold toilets i've been meaning to bring this up for a long time for for days anyway where is that story you remember the the the banana tape to the wall guy yeah the.
- [32:36]
Jack Armstrong
Artist he taped a banana to the ball wall and it was what did it represent man's inhumanity to man and somebody paid like a million dollars for.
- [32:44]
Joe Getty
The art yeah well the same artist behind the six point two million dollars duct tape banana has created an eighteen karat gold toilet wait a second how.
- [32:55]
Jack Armstrong
Many how many million did you say.
- [32:57]
Joe Getty
The banana was six point two was.
- [32:58]
Jack Armstrong
More than i even remembered can you.
- [33:01]
Joe Getty
Believe that s anyway he sculpted a toilet out of two hundred twenty three pounds of gold it's valued at about ten million dollars just for the materials sotheby's is betting it can auction off the golden toilet bowl for even more they're going to start the bidding at ten million bucks that's just your break even never mind is his labor for crafting a really pretty good looking solid gold toilet i mean it looks like a toilet in like your office well what's the name with the industrial flusher.
- [33:33]
Jack Armstrong
And stuff what's the name or the description of the art what's it supposed to symbolize that we're flushing money down the drain or that everything you know turns to dust and your money's worth nothing and all your money will not another moment buy as quoted by the.
- [33:46]
Joe Getty
Rock group kansas yes yes in their work of genius let me first remind you that the fruit duct tape to the wall was entitled comedian the solid gold toilet now don't march on this place and burn it down the title of the solid gold toilet is america twenty sixteen yeah.
- [34:09]
Jack Armstrong
Well that was pretty clever this guy's clever some rich progressive will buy that because they're progressive friends they they want to be known as the person that bought the trump's a.
- [34:23]
Joe Getty
Problem art yeah yeah you know i am going to protest the solid gold toilet and the nature of my protest will be all too appropriate i think right i have something in mind.
- [34:39]
Jack Armstrong
And it'll be called the person who bought this has s for brains.

To figure out what to do for my kids this year they're definitely the age they're almost fourteen almost sixteen they're definitely past the age of more cheap chinese crap there's just no reason so either an experience or like accumulate the money into one actually worth something gift i think this year god when they're younger it's just endless piles of cheap chinese crap is what they get when they're little kids and they're delighted and that's fine and it is cheap right.
- [44:56]
Joe Getty
Well it was always interesting to me that we would give our kids the same beloved toy that we had but you'd take it out of the package and instead of feeling like it could last a hundred years it's cheap chinese.
- [45:10]
Jack Armstrong
Crap yeah definitely come on china definitely the modern version of something you played with as a kid that is just so flimsy and light and poorly made.
