Elon Musk wants a chip in your brain. Sam Altman paid 10 grand to have his preserved for upload in the future. And Peter Thiel, the money behind Facebook and Paletteur, was asked, you'd prefer the human race to endure, right? He hesitated a really long time. I'm Kumamoto for WebRoot.

Nolan Darbrow is paralyzed and plays chess with his thoughts. If a chip hands someone with ALS or spinal injury a keyboard, I'm all in. That's not the point. These men already own your feed, your data, and the AI your kid does homework with. Now they're deciding what comes after humans in rooms we'll never see. Nobody's asking you or anyone the one question. If the brain upgrade works, who decides which humans get it? They've already decided how this will all end. Turns out we're just the beta test.

The future of AI is serious business, but Gordon in Detroit found a way to have a little fun with it. He asked chat GBT to roast him, and the results were surprisingly accurate. Kim has that conversation. Next. AI is changing the way we do business, and it's happening fast. Think about your work day. We're making decisions, solving problems, and keeping your team moving. Now AI can help with all of it. I'm implementing NetSuite in my own business, and here's what I like about NetSuite next. AI is built right into the platform. It finds the information you need when you need it. Plus AI agents to work on routine tests, and let you ask complex questions, just like you're speaking with a knowledgeable colleague. But AI isn't only about getting more work done. It's also changing how people and teams work together. If you run a business, you need to know what's coming. That's why NetSuite created a free business guide to help you understand what's ahead. If your revenues are at least in the seven figures, get your free business guide aligning for theogenic error, how AI is changing every day work at NetSuite.com

slash Kim. The guide is free to you right now at NetSuite.com slash Kim. That's NetSuite.com slash Kim. NetSuite.com slash Kim. Okay. So I read Goren's note, and I asked him to come on the show and tell us more about it. Okay. And Gordon, so what's going on in Detroit that made you say roast meat chat, GBT? Well, a friend of mine said that this is a really fun thing to do. And I said, I'm afraid to do this. And he said, no, give it a try. I've laughed so hard. So basically, it's kind of like those celebrity roasts on TV, but it's kind of gentler than that. They take a bunch of questions. You've asked over the years, over the time, you've been on the site and kind of makes fun of you based on that. So what was the thing that shocked you the most when you told AI did roast you? Well, the fact that it kind of took all the things I'd ever ask over, you know,

all the sense I've been using it and kind of put them into a big, you know, whole area sort of thing. Of course, you know, it's more meaningful if you actually know the person just like, you know, on celebrity roasts. But what, like, can I give you a couple examples? Sure. Okay. So my daughter, she's kind of the, you know, ultimate consumer. And so, the, she said, roast me and Chatsy P wrote back, the company makes one mistake in your order. And suddenly you're not a customer anymore. You're an independent congressional investigation. The plane, you assemble evidence, screenshot, dates, names, receipts, terms and conditions. Somewhere a customer service supervisor sees your email come through. It says, oh, God, she's got documentation. You're not going to scream at them. You're going to calmly find the exact policy that violated, identify the regional manager and make sure everyone involved in his, a very educational afternoon. Now, is that your daughter? That's my daughter. Yes. And she did that. Did

she do that to you when she was like 15 years old and trying to make a point? I think, I think, well, maybe she learned from me, I suppose. Oh, I see. Apple doesn't fall. This actually surprises me that I actually knew you. I'm currently working on a big video and I was doing a storyboard. And I said, in Chatsy P T made the image of the storyboard for the video. And I said, the guy in there is supposed to be me. Just make it look like me. So it's easier to point out the differences. And it's in Chatsy P T goes, well, please upload a photo of you. I'm like, I've uploaded 25,000 photos of me. No photos. They get it off. It doesn't work. It doesn't. No. I'd be surprised to know if Chatsy P T knows anything about me. Well, I asked Chats to roast me and I gave you. Oh, yeah, because I don't think I should read my own roast because that doesn't make sense. Have you reviewed these? I kind of scanned it and you don't have to read the whole thing because it's a full page. Here's the first one. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Claude, an artificial intelligence, which means I know everything about Kim Commando except

how to get her to stop talking. Ouch. It's accurate. Let's see here. Now, this one says, Kim Commando banned, banned him dashes? No, banned M dashes. I said, no M dashes. You know, there's long hyphens. You don't want those in your, because it tells everybody that she used chat. She banned M dashes, banned them. Somewhere out there is a punctuation mark in witness protection program, living under the name Semi-Colon, looking over its shoulders in a Denny's kind of creative. It was very incredible. Not a burn, but it is create one more. Yeah. Kim spends her life warning Americans about hackers, scammers, and identity thieves. Meanwhile, she has told 5 million strangers a week her name, her town, her husband's name, and what she had for lunch. The nation's top security expert is running the world's longest hostage video. Oh, that's true. You know, that's what a great idea. Roast chat, Roast you, or Roast a family member. Yes. And then you go ahead and

perform her for them, send them a video. That'd be a great, great fit to do at a family reunion. Oh yeah. Okay, you can admit it. No one's going to make fun of you. You love me. Yes. Say it out loud.
