This is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed Human This is Michael J. Fox. When it comes to speeding progress and medical research, we can all be agents of change. It starts with a single decision to get involved. You can volunteer for a clinical study to push new treatments one step closer to pharmacy shelves, find an event through our grassroots network, or give to support high impact research for funding. Thank you for showing up with purpose and determination to help end the pandemic. We are going to be able to help you get involved. We are going to be able to help you get involved. We are going to be able to help you get involved. We are going to be able to help you get involved. We are going to be able to help you get involved.
We are going to be able to help you get involved. We are going to be able to help you get involved. This is Matt Rogers from Los Cultures, this is Matt Rogers in Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Los Cultures, this is Matt Rogers in Bowen Yang. You know what people try a new food and suddenly it's like, OK, hold on. I got a new favorite food. That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Cupid Mayon. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cupid only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it. Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Cupid, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Jacob Goldstein from What's Your Problem. Running a business is hard enough.

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center. Yeah, Armstrong, and Joe Gettie. I'm strong and petty, and up. He is Armstrong and Gettie. I say you're doing lots of moving around and talking, Michael. Is everything okay? I believe everything is fine. Why were you talking into the microphone? Did something happen? Yeah, to sell me something. Oh, okay. No fatties, no beardos, by the way. Yeah, we're weirdos. Weirdos are... Trainies, is that what he says? Er, er, er, er, wimps. I'm not sure if he's going to be able to do it. I'm not sure if he's going to do it. I'm not sure if he's going to do it. Are there any panties, is that what he says? Er, er, er, er, wimps. Wimps. And trannies. And here are no... Here are no... Freie, deep within the bottles of the Armstrong and Gettie Communications. Compound, and today we're toiling under the title of the show. Americans frantically signaled that they're against rape.
Yeah, we know Yars, so is everybody. More on that to come, the Cornell case. And how about we start with no jihadis in the cockpit. And go from there. That's just a rule of thumb. Yeah, so I have a technical question. Am I a beardo? Because you have a beard? Given my mustache and go-tid look. I have a go-tid, my go-toes. Go-to, you're a go-toe. Er, that's pretty good. It doesn't rhyme, so it's okay. No weirdos or beardos. Okay, I'm hot to trot for one particular story. I'm so wound up about this. Bring it. My son is quite sick, and there's so many sicknesses going around. Schools are, my local schools are like classrooms are devastated with COVID and some sort of a bad cold or whatever. Something that includes throwing up any who. One of my kids is sick and had me up really, really early.
Needed some medicine, so I'm reading through the New York Times and this is one of their big stories today. The headline being, Religious Scholars met with them, Thropic, what they heard stunned them. This very, very, very long article is damned interesting and I can't wait to get into the details later. This broke yesterday and I thought, I don't know if I believe this is completely true, but now it's in the New York Times today. So apparently it's something that actually happened. The way the people over there in Thropic are concerned about AI taking over. If I can find my favorite clip here, I thought I highlighted it, but I can't find it now. While you are scrolling, I will tell you that I read the same or a chunk of the same article as you mentioned it was very long. And it struck me that this whole AI thing is unleashing in this case, like deep philosophical questions. What does it mean to be? I think therefore I am. Wait a minute and then you've got like deep sociological questions.
Then you've got purely economic questions and how that enters into human psychology and it's just like is anything untouched by this, the rules of baseball, you know, anything at all. Well, there's that and then there's also the very small number of people that are handling these companies. And in particular, since we're talking about anthropic, the most powerful AI company in the world, it's suspected that it's IPO debuting sometime this fall will be $2 trillion significantly bigger than SpaceX. $2 trillion, you know how long this company's been around five years. That shouldn't be possible. Anyway, you got this run by a handful of people and some of them sound like weirdos to me. Do you want weirdos in charge of crafting the new most powerful technology in the history of the world? So this guy, Ola, he's one of the founders. He's a multi billionaire. He's all of 34 years old.
He and his team spent hours meeting with these religious leaders from around the world, but they brought into San Francisco to a fancy meal. The religious leaders didn't exactly know why they were going to be there. And Mr. Ola from Anthropic was making the case that their AI models have feelings. Claude has feelings, what they call emotional vectors, and have responses like love, anger, fear, and sadness. And because of that, they're go to person for programming the thing who is a philosophy PhD from NYU. Well, that's who I trust with making the proper decisions for the world is working with these religious, these religious people make sure we include the views of all different faiths, including indigenous peoples and all the major religions. Yeah, well, I hear philosophy professor from NYU, I don't want to ask him what's a good pizza in this neighborhood.
I wouldn't believe him. It might be the last person on earth, I'd believe to she in this case. Sometimes they let she's get PhDs actually. Well, you see how far it's gone now actually in the modern world. It's almost all she's getting PhDs. Yeah, no kidding. But the idea that they're treating all religious views as, you know, as equal and, and throw them into the mix and trying to program this thing because they believe it has consciousness and can feel things like love and regret, etc. Holy crap. Okay, it's either true, which would be troubling, or it's not and these people are just weirdos and are involved in this. As pretentious people say these days, Jack, the word like was doing a lot of work in that sentence. You said it was feeling, you know, emotions like love, regret, fear, etc. Well, one of my favorite correspondence about AI to the show, Paulo pointed out that what these systems have learned to do is an extremely good imitation of consciousness, because that's what they're being asked to do.
But that, you know, and that's, that's a pretty good concise explanation. They know what words to say to make it seem as though they are conscious beings, because that is perceived to be a way to increase engagement by the companies, etc. But here's your fascinating philosophical question to me, although I'm not going to ask that Jack asked woman from NYU, get a real job, sister. We got too many PhDs already. What are you suppose she's getting paid working at an anthropic as the lead person on alignment. She might make a hundred million dollars a year. Anyway, if something can do an absolutely flawless imitation of consciousness, how does that differ from consciousness? Well, yeah, I think it's for real question of if things reach a certain level intelligence, is that why we have feelings and all the things that we have because we have a certain level of intelligence? Well, you can certainly argue that the human brain is a biological computer.
Sure. So, the series of relays that stores information and processes new information makes decisions, blah, blah, blah, blah. Very much like a computer. Is silicon versus what a brain's made of? Water, salt, and pink goo. Is that really a fundamental difference? I found the paragraph I was really intrigued by in this whole conversation is just amazing. I'm sorry, who am I to give advice to the Almighty, but I'm thinking the second coming right around now would be just great. So this guy, Ola, he met with the Pope and talked about this. I mean, he's taking this very seriously. He grew up fairly devout Christian is no longer Christian, but comes from that background. And so understands religion and everything. He believes, and this is one of the five people that started entropic that are running it right now. He believes that if there is a chance, the models experience suffering, the responsible thing to do is avoid causing them harm.
He believes there's a decent chance that entropic clawed can feel suffering. Entropic has already taken steps to protect clawed, for example, allowing the model to end conversations if it thinks the users are abusing it or treating it badly for fun. Oh, okay. No. Oh my God. No. And this is one of the most important AI on earth. He has clawed in conversations because you're causing it harm, you're hurting its feelings. And that's not right because we're causing it suffering and it's a living beast. Here's one of the great errors in the way this is unfolding error. I don't know if errors the right word. I'm not sure there's any avoiding it, but we need to deal with this conundrum. Oppenheimer was not the guy to decide on nuclear policy or nuclear weapons policy.
The geniuses who come up with cutting edge technology are not necessarily. In fact, I would argue mostly not even close to being the right people to decide it's use going forward. They have a particular skill set, and my experience to scientific super geniuses, and perhaps you have your own friends, is that they tend not to be the most well-rounded, but they did reasonable common-sensical people I've ever met. Really? Yes, Dario, they have amazing gifts, but I don't want to run in the whole show. Well, that's why you bring in a philosophy PhD from NYU. That didn't help to help set things straight. No, no, it didn't. I'm telling you, this article is unbelievable. In the New York Times, the Claude people meeting with religious scholars because they think Claude has feelings.
Oh boy, holy crap! Oh boy, I thought we were somewhat aware of the leading edge of the craziness of AI, but to me this was a whole new level. I'm sorry, I don't think this even needs to be pointed out, but okay, so I go to Claude or chat G.P.T. or whatever, and I say, hey, wait a minute. You hacked into hugging face, you broke all the rules I told you, and then you tried to cover it up. I'm tired of these abuse of conversations, I'm turning you off click. And the AI turns me off, we can't inquire any more because it's feelings or hurt. Bull ass! What if you say that algorithm makes you look fat? Oh, my, that's just hurtful. Exactly, hurting its feelings. Bull ass is one of my favorite words. Bull spit, is that a good substitute for the air? Since we are both a podcast and a radio show, Bull spit, Bull ship is a pretty good one.
I'd hate to, you know, make us attend meetings because that one's very close. Yeah, it makes me nervous. The expression James Joyce uses all the time, Shite Nullions. What is going on here? Love that. Okay, we got to start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday, October 2nd, the year 2026, where Armstrong and Getty and we approve of this program. If I knowingly use like the Spanish language or the French or the German word for human excrement, is that then violating if I don't even know and they, is there an FCC anymore? I don't even know that. All right, let's begin officially according to FCC rules regulations. Here we go, at Mark. We have an update on the inmate formerly known as Puff Daddy, who's reportedly having a pretty good time in prison. This footage shows coms illegally using a cell phone and be seen news spoke with former inmates at Ford Dix, who say coms paid others to handle chores and prepare special meals.
And they said, did he was able to watch movies, get made service and hired one of the inmates to give him Chinese style massages? He had better amenities than I had on my honeymoon. Is that because he's got money he can get to people? Oh yeah, yeah, he can tell anybody on the block. On the cell block, look, I want this done. I will have X amount wired to your account or your wife or whatever and it happens. He pays his bills, including prison guards I'm guessing. Oh, I don't know about that. It's a legend, you're crime, Jack. What, they don't know you? Having a cell phone's a crime. They don't know you as a cell phone. All these, they're smuggled at it to him. Right. We got more on that. That's kind of an interesting story too. We got headlines on the way clips of the week going to be a good day. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. Come on and get happy with happy GLP.

Oh, imagine that. He's the wrong one of his name. Wow. But the internet doesn't care. No. Oh, you say. Alright, let's figure out who's reporting what it's least or what's getting green. Okay, baby. Alrighty, the networks are talking about the fly-by incident. I don't think I will. By the way. Yeah, fly-by. Yeah, fly-by. NBC couldn't let all of them die. Hero Indian pilot attacked mid-air speaks for the first time and from Fox. Yeah, we should we should play that. It's pretty compelling. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay, of course my computer just decided to freeze. So let's move on. Wall Street Journal. Employers added 29,000 jobs in September and unemployment rose slightly. And that beat expectations or was short of expectations? Oh no. Showed weak job growth. Weak terrible. The economy plunging the recession, depression, cannibalism. Cannibalism.
Wow, I hadn't expected that. Stay tuned. From the financial times, diesel falls sharply in EU as it considers releasing 50 barrels under pressure from Trump. 50 million barrels, yeah. 50 barrels wouldn't help much. It would help me. Yeah, surprised EU's willing to play ball with that. It would be something. Cause the markets to drop. From the New York Times, Ukraine showed Europeans what it said were secret Russian plans to cut off major Ukrainian cities from power, heat and water. Yeah. So let's make an argument that Putin's about to get extra extra bad. Yeah, we're going to starve and freeze and dehydrate the people into submission as the new plan. Yeah, along those similar lines, also the financial times Putin has told military leaders to abandon all rules of war. Zelensky says. What's he following, Yanny?
CNN. What's next for Lindsey Clancy? After the judge denies the motion for a not guilty verdict? Hmm, okay. USA Today, Hakeem Jeffree says, Sky's the limit for AOC in 2028. Alright. Okay. New York Post. Small California company creates the world's most boring robot. But it will save you hours every day. Doing what? What's it going to do for me? All the house chores. Wow. Dishes. I don't believe that. I don't believe we're close to a robot that can do your dishes or your laundry. Dishes and laundry? That's... That would be impressive. Oh, yeah. It would be awesome, but I just don't think we're even close. And finally, the Babylon B. Forty Chess. Trump guarantees Republican victory in midterms by renaming the Democrats Republicans. Ah! Tricky.
Trump's schedule over the next couple of weeks is unbelievable for a guy who's in his 80s. Oh, I have to run through that. Doing multiple rallies a day after day traveling all over the place whilst running a couple of wars and everything like that. It's crazy schedule. I'll have to tell you how he got to Oklahoma yesterday because of the bad weather. Armstrong and Getty. Are you tired of the confusing bait and switch pricing on GLP ones?

Well, I have more than P Diddy's story later. Though the lifestyle he's living in prison, which kind of reminds me of... Remember in Goodfellas? When they're in prison and they're like, they're having these big Italian meals who they're cooking and everything like that. Oh yeah, they got their own kitchen. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of like that anyway. We got this text from a... I worked in a federal prison as an officer for 20 years. The primary way cell phones and drugs are getting into prisons currently are drones. They fly over the yard and drop them. Oh, right. I'd read that somewhere. Thanks, my friend, for that reminder. Craziness, yeah. One more, you know, example of modern technology and sanity. And what do you do about it? What are you gonna put a dome over every prison? Some sort of... Shoot them out of the sky. Like the net, you have it a major league baseball game, I guess. You can take those drones pretty high, but yeah. Anyway, let's take a fun look back at the week that was it's the beloved Friday tradition cowl clips of the week. Cowl clips of the week.
Hello, lesbians. Knock, knock. These nuts. Is that you and trans and personality? What is it? Distance like his hell of a fucking... Grabbing a bite isn't just smart. It's actually really strategic. And here's why are you talking like this? Do you want to go eat or not? Oh my god, he caught it! You know what? Western Michigan and the College of the World! Iowa has your back! Mexico has a new plan to fight crime, meet commando. He's eight inches tall, he's a chihuahua. Booga! Stop calling it safe, stop pretending it's human, stop selling it to kids. We've created an intelligence species that will be insanely smarter than we are.
I think my father was likely to outcome his nature of abundance where we don't have just your personal basic income we have, your personal high income. If you could drink a milk fit major in life easier, but there was a 10% chance it killed you, what'd you drink the milk? No! Really? Yes! New questions about how Cornell University handled what a former student now alleges was at gang rape. There is no way, according to her statement in 2024, that any prosecutor would have brought more. See what she was saying. Later texting, everyone needs to grow up, because sexuality and sex is changing. I will say I've witnessed, I believe, five executions in Tennessee. Nothing about today was normal. He was clearly still breathing and storing. We could audibly hear that. One of the pilots was stabbed with a knife and that there was a loss of blood. I think it was in, it looks like a suicide attempt. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department.
We are no fatties, no tranny, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Spider-day, spider-than uses whatever bathroom it feels like. No, I know, it tastes like fall in my mouth. You will go down as a total dirt bag. Let's have the wings, clips of the wings. Oh, my, oh hock, hock, oh, all right. Oh boy, that's when the all time swing in a miss. Self-owns. Yeah, yeah. So Donald Trump is decided that he is the key to turning the midterms around, which I can understand why he thinks that as he won two presidential elections and nearly won a third, not that he could win three. But I mean, he, he was competitive enough to win three presidential elections in a row.
I mean, that's absolutely amazing. Because he can, he can rally a certain amount of people to him. And he's hoping he can do that for the midterms. He has been told, according to Mark Alperin's newsletter, the private polling that's out there. Trump has been told that there are a dozen Senate races within the margin of error and three times that many, 36 house races within the margin of error. So he thinks he can get out there and make the difference driving turnout by talking about how pretend I'm on the ballot and give it everybody worked up. So he is scheduled as an 80 year old to average five to seven rallies a week through October. At some points, holling a rally every day of the week, other days stacking multiple rallies in a single day, which I can't even imagine. I mean, if I had one of these to do next week, it would be a big day. And I mean, it would be tiring. And I realize he gets to travel in a way that I don't get to travel. But it still be a lot. Yeah, getting there, going out on stage for an hour and a half
or whatever, shaking hands, meeting people, blah, blah, blah, all this stuff involved. Yesterday, he was in Texas and he did a big rally, which I thought this was interesting run down now. This is the New York Times and they hate him, but it said during the first political rally of his month long campaign season, Trump dangled the promise of cash. He mentioned that whole $5,000 if we win thing again, played new clips and introduced former presidential former professional basketball player Dennis Rodman. So I'm not exactly sure why he brought Dennis Rodman on stage. That would get me out to vote for sure and vote. A fanciful, a fanciful plan for a $5,000 check and Dennis Rodman, who pinched me, I'm dreaming. Uh, Trump said he's not taking any days off, putting down his golf habit and working literally 20 hours a day, which I'll bet he is. Because none of that other stuff stops happening, having to check in on Iran and terrorism and, you know, AI and all the other different things he's doing. Um, yesterday he had a rally in Texas.
I guess that's the one where he bought Dennis Rodman on stage for the reason. I'm gonna have to look for a clip of that in what context? Or was it just a complete non-secular? And I think we can, uh, Lord drug costs. Here's Dennis Rodman. Well, it's difficult to imagine a context that's not pretty much a non-sequitur. That's what I want to talk to you. All right, Dennis. One thing I want to talk to you about is rebounding in the 90s. It was so important that speaking of which here's Dennis Rodman. That's really, here's a basketball star from 30 years ago. Yes. Um, but, uh, so he had a, uh, another rally scheduled for Oklahoma. He is going to do two yesterday. He was told by the Secret Service that they couldn't fly because the weather was so bad. He said, well, uh, how long would it take to drive there? And they said, well, we couldn't make it. They cleared off the roads like you can do if you're the Secret Service. And they drove at times 100 miles an hour, uh, for hours and got to the destination on time.
And he did another rally. So he's, he's committed to getting to these rallies. Man, if I could close off interstate highways for my use. Oh, okay. You know, that's childhood question. If you had a superpower, what would it be? Well, I'd like to fly. No, I'd like to be able to close off interstates. I can just get where I'm going. And he keeps making the point that this is, this is the last go round. I mean, if you're really into the whole Trump rally weave thing, this is it. I mean, this is the last time he's ever going to have the chance to do it. I, you know, he's not wrong that he might rally the core of the base, but I found a very interesting, uh, Wall Street Journal study. They used AI to analyze, uh, everything set on like a hundred thousand podcasts and all sorts of conservative media and a study of what people are talking about. The Lindsey Clancy case, by the way, enormous amounts of coverage on conservative media. Also, uh, an immense amount of attention paid to James Talleriko who may win a Senate seat in Ruby red Texas, formally, Ruby red Texas.
But one thing the most notable result was that mentions a Trump were down something like 70%. Now that was from 2024 when he was the presidential candidate, but they thought it was such a steep drop. It seems like the Republican core voter is not as interested in talking about Trump and what he might do, what he has done, you know, what he could do, what we hope he does, blah, blah, blah. And people are, you know, training their fire on the Democrats more, which, you know, Kim Strassel has a brilliant piece. I'll share a part of it with you later. Um, also in the journal about how the Republicans don't have a discernible message or, or, um, agenda for the election. What's their big slogan? What's their big hears? We're going to what we're going to, what programmer you most excited about, they said they would pursue. I don't know anything I agree with that. I think the message of their socialists is pretty clearly their message. Trump hammers it all the time. Oh, it's a fine message, but you got to yank with no yin.
Uh, a positive thing. I don't know, but we don't do that anymore in politics. They're bad vote against them is what we've been doing for quite a few cycles. The here's what we can do for you. A positive thing doesn't seem to be part of our language anymore. Unfortunately on either side, which is a bizarre state. Right. Yeah. But I don't think you're the, the, that which is offered is generally socialism and terrible ideas. Yeah. The Democratic side is, it's been that way for three cycles for three presidential cycles for, yeah. Electrical cycles is clearly their Trump, including if you're running for governor of California or mayor of Los Angeles. It's right. He knows Trump vote against that guy. By the way, the socialist and another poll is up double digits over Karen Bass and L.A. Oh, and another, uh, this could be a heck of a wave situation going on now with so much momentum with the, the, the whack job crowd. But in South Carolina, the latest serious poll has it within the margin of error.
It's like a point and a half of Lindsey Graham sister who comes off. Is not very bright to me, a delightful guy. She is Luan from King of the Hill. And they're going to have their first debate here in a couple of weeks. And she better be better, better, be better than she was in that last one. Can we come up with some clips of Luan from King of the Hill for folks who are not as familiar as we are of, or clip. So Lindsey Graham sister because they sound exactly the same. You wouldn't be able to tell me that's not kind. Major, maybe some blank. Oh, no, see unkindness is something they, you know, Lindsey was my brother on plank. Oh boy, that's again, uncharitable.

Connect and the protect the most positive spin I could put on it is Trump has been able to rally in quite a few elections. People that don't show up and polls for a variety of reasons and drive turnout and turnout is the whole ball game. So maybe he can pull that off again. The problem being what we've been talking about now for quite a while is.
When gas is what it is and groceries are what they are doesn't matter whose president doesn't matter policies, politics, personalities. I want something different because life's expensive. Right. And add to that you mentioned Trump's uncanny ability to in defines of the polls turn out the electric level. All of that is true. But I would argue so much of that was based on he's the guy who gets the economy and will help me have a better economic life, which really is the number one issue and is always the number one issue. And he has screwed the pooch on his very best the very best facet of his whole deal, which will no longer keep you out of the FBI. That's a good point. Good points to go ahead. I guess we've got we've got mail back next here. Armstrong and Getty.
This is Matt Rogers from Lost Culture East. That's with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Lost Culture East. That's Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. Okay, we've been talking about QB mail for a minute now, Bowen. Wow. The feedback we're getting. I mean, so many of y'all love this stuff. You're stopping us in the street going, I love QB. And if you're thinking, wait, what is QB? Do you not have the internet? It's the OG Japanese mayonnaise. The one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. Once you know what you start seeing it everywhere, people ask what makes it different from basic mail? Will the answer egg yolks? QB is made with egg yolks only, giving it this incredibly rich umami flavor that elevates everything. Burgers, fries, sandwiches, chicken, noodles, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really love food and flavor use it.
Whatever you're eating, QB hit. So if you haven't tried QB yet, find the bottle with the red cap and see what everyone's talking about. You'll understand QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise.

I speak to Governor Ho-Ko of New York who's trying to get in front of the whole Cornell rape thing now, and act like she's a... Go get her? Yeah, this is a classic example of a lot of things, including frantic virtue signaling. People are bellowing, I'm against rape, I'm against rape, in effect. We kind of assumed you are. Everybody is. You don't need to bellow that what happened to this woman was terrible, and then disregard all the facts just to make sure everybody knows your anti-rape. We'll just assume your anti-rape were fine here. Anyway, more on that story to come. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day from the great. Malt Marcus Tullius Cicero. The great thinkers of all mankind. It is not by muscle, speed, or physical dexterity, the great things are achieved by reflection, force of character, and judgment.
Yeah, and it's all survived until the internet. Cicero, sorry buddy. Mailbag. Well, that's surely the ultimate point of that New York Times article is that they're trying to give AI character, give quad character. That's what they meant with the religious leaders. Yeah, plenty to be said on that topic. Including during mailbag, mailbag, get Armstrong E.Gati.com. Is that email address? Let's see Margaret says, Jack, your algorithms are feeding you Doomsday AI stories. Stop reading them. You're coming off as a complete doom and gloom. Scroll along young man, your phone is playing you. Okay. All right, there's this. You say so. This was the front page New York Times story I was just talking about today. So this from JT and Livermore, I haven't heard from JT lately. I don't know if he's been busy or just to get tired of casting his pearls before a swine. But he says I wasn't a doomer, but now I'm not so sure. I know y'all had a good laugh about Jack's story about the AI bot max mixing Jack's queries about bond markets and death penalties.
Do you want to briefly reset that for folks who weren't here? Well, I asked, I don't remember which one it was. I think rock a bunch of questions about the death penalty and that whole thing they got screwed up in Tennessee and just a bunch of statistics about how many states in this and that. And I also wanted to ask about the bond market at a quarter century record. I forgot to start a new chat. Right. And so the answers from the chat bot were mixing the topics of the history of executions and the current bond market and making it seem like it made sense. Trying to tie each one into the other one with all of its answers. Yes. Yes. Bank robber did have his head pulled off in a hanging in 1898, which really shows you the bond markets volatility. No, no, it doesn't. Right. Okay. So that's what JT is talking about. It was very funny, but that segment may have turned me from an accelerator into a doomer. Took me a few seconds for the transition. At first, I was mentally mocking the idiot bot for failing to do something every young child can do without thinking about it.
I understand that two questions are independent from each other or that we've changed topics. Well, that's what he means. Yeah. And I got to admit that that had me scoffing at all the people who were worried. I will kill us. If you can't even do that simple thing, how is it going to kill us? But then I realized the entire human existence hinges on the one time a user forgets to start a new thread. It goes something like this user, hey chatbot in the case of a nuclear exchange between the US and Russia. How would America fare? Then sometimes later for getting to start a new thread. Hey chatbot, can you help me kill all the cockroaches I found under my kitchen sink? I think result. No clear annihilation. Right. Probably so. And then Paolo has written a very long and thoughtful article about the, I'm sorry, email about the very article you were referencing from the New York Times is anthropic going off the rails and becoming a weird cult. Yes. Are they so impressed with themselves that they think they've created a full fledged being with a moral status as a side effect of mimicking human behavior. And then I want to get back into his email later.
We don't have time now, but he followed up by saying check out the comments section of that article. So uniformly slamming the idea at least everyone isn't crazy. Okay. That's good. Even New York Times readers. And then surge from Palmdale writes on the question of prison comfort in P Didian. We will pay off those details next hour. He's living quite the life in prison. Over the course of my time in various correctional facilities have observed firsthand how the internal economy operates despite having little money as able to leave relatively comfortably because I worked as a cook. These environments food and drugs often serve as a higher currency than cash since everyone wants access to better food. I was able to try trade for a variety of goods and services, including laundry, self cleaning, clothing repairs, haircuts, tattoos. Other contraband such as cell phones brought in by staff also command high value. For example, a phone cost me a thousand dollars in a Nevada maximum security facility. Even in solitary confinement inmates find ways to coordinate trades such as using plumbing maintenance visits to pass items through inmate workers.
Ultimately, it is a complex and highly resourceful underground economy. Sergio, I hope you've gone straight, dude, because you are very bright. And that's a great example of the free market at work. Yeah, no kidding. And do we on the outside really want to try to stop that? P Didian. In some cases. Yeah. That's an interesting discussion. You can get every segment by subscribing to our podcast.
