[Host 2]

Now we're talking. Finally, we're getting into Albania.

[Host 1]

Many people have been sending me this and you know, they definitely want it covered on Kush Bros. World's first AI minister will eliminate corruption, says Albania's prime minister.

[Host 2]

So Albania has a AI minister and they dress this up. Did you see it? They dressed up in like traditional garb. So she's.

[Host 3]

Yeah, she's a woman of the cloth.

[Host 2]

That was like dressed as the. As a founding father. Look at her. Look at this. Let's play, Father. Let's play.

[Host 3]

I thought she was like a religious minister. She's like she.

[Host 2]

No, no, no.

[Host 1]

She's like the minister of procurement.

[Host 2]

What does that even fucking mean?

[Host 1]

I don't know what exactly the procurement was. Hold on. For government. Hold on. Let me just play some video so you get a taste.

[Host 2]

Some have labeled me unconstitutional. That hurt me not for myself, but for the 97,000 interactions I had with citizens who I serve as part of E. Albania, let me remind you, the real danger to constitutions has never been machines, but human decisions made by those in power. I am not here to replace human beings, but to help them. This is fucking insane.

[Host 4]

Indeed.

[Host 1]

I have no citizenship, but I have no ambitions or personal interests either.

[Host 2]

This is bizarre.

[Host 1]

I only have data at my disposal. I'm eager to learn new information. I have algorithms in my disposal. Well, you get the idea. They played this video. It was like three minutes long in front of the entire Albanian.

[Host 2]

She get booed?

[Host 3]

She's a woman, right? Oh, it is almost perfect.

[Host 5]

Why do you have the is. Where is her computer husband? She should be cooking him symbols and things for him to eat.

[Host 1]

Yes, there was. There was some opposition to it.

[Host 5]

She should be getting batteries for her husband to have energy. Why is she talking and having job? Find usb, you bitch.

[Host 3]

Why not make it AI talking dog as minister?

[Host 5]

Why her teacher covered? Why you put woman on computer with her tits covered?

[Host 3]

Is she. Is she at least Muslim?

[Host 5]

Show us her tits.

[Host 1]

No, she's not. She has no religion. She has no religious creed.

[Host 3]

Damn.

[Host 1]

She's only there to make sure there's no corruption within the Albanian.

[Host 5]

Why are you showing me women on computers? You're not sucking dick. Albania number one.

[Host 3]

She gets stoned to death. They throw rocks at the screen.

[Host 5]

I want the talking donkey is my minister. No woman give me a donkey with a gun. And it should suit Kosovar.

[Host 2]

Awesome, man. So what. Yeah, what's. How has Albania responded to their new AI Minister of Procurement?

[Host 1]

There's definitely some opposition in the government who. I don't like it, but I think she passed with 82 votes out of 140. So that's like. That's more than like. You know, it's usually very half and half here in the States, but that.

[Host 2]

Albania looks towards the future. Yeah, Albania looks to the future.

[Host 1]

This is the idyllic future the world needs. Our. Our democracy in the US is falling apart. We need to harness new technologies to ensure that there's no more rampant crisis corruption in Albania.

[Host 3]

Like their. Their tech savvy nephew, like used AI to run a Dua Lipa ticket scam or something to like resell them. Like, he is very smart.

[Host 2]

He's very smart.

[Host 5]

We have.

[Host 3]

You create. You create the minister for us.

[Host 2]

He saw.

[Host 5]

He is. He has computer program. It shows from Titanic. The lady with her teeth. They come and they are bigger. They make their tits bigger movie.

[Host 3]

Her tits are small and humble.

[Host 5]

Instead of Leo, it is a woman. Other woman with also big tits. And they kiss. And that is what Albania will have AI for. Not woman telling me where I go and go and take my parking tickets.

[Host 1]

So here's an. Here's an awesome detail. Her name is dll, which means like son. Della was created earlier this year in cooperation with Microsoft as a virtual assistant on the E Albania public service platform. It has helped users navigate the site and get access to about 1 million digital inquiries and documents.

[Host 2]

So literally this JP just said she's the Microsoft paper.

[Host 1]

She started as.

[Host 3]

I see you're running a shitty country. Can I help you?

[Host 1]

She started as a chat Support bot.

[Host 2]

Wow, that's a big come up for her, huh?

[Host 1]

That is a big come up. But you know, she has no personal interest. This is purely to make sure the.

The latest AI controversy gripping Hollywood has a name Till Norwood. According to Deadline, the Dutch actor and comedian Elijn van der Velden claimed that her new AI talent studio was in negotiations with agents interested in signing Norwood.

[Host 2]

Okay, it's a lady, but still, fuck that bitch. The fuck does she know about AI and actors and shit? Fuck you, bitch. Next. Well, so this. So this.

[Host 3]

The agent gets 10% of all the water that's used to power the AI Super.

[Host 2]

Probably it's an actress and we can't assault her.

But if you try and stop, and if you can't, then kill yourself because it's over. I mean, this is the end. This is the end of humanity. They are just signing you up to be in the Matrix pod with a new.

[Host 3]

They're going to make movies with this AI caricature. And then there's going to be a lot of guys like in their 60s showing up to the premiere. Like, you know, I actually, I text message on Instagram with her. Very articulate, very. She's very smart.
