Chapter 1: What is the significance of the simultaneous sip?

0.77 - 30.825 Scott Adams

All you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Go. Oh. Oh, so good. Looks like everything's working this morning.

31.305 - 57.593 Scott Adams

What a day. What a day. Well, it's Saturdays. Sometimes you call it Catterday. And that means, at least today anyway, that Owen Gregorian will be doing his after party on Spaces. So after the show, if you're on X, go to Owen Gregorian's feed or you should be able to find it. And you can find Coffee with Scott Adams after party.

58.286 - 85.627 Scott Adams

And I guess he's got a special guest today, Chris Akers, who's going to talk about quantum science. That sounds like a good one. All right. So there's a report that ChatGPT, the new version, version 4.5, which you can only get at the highest level of payment, apparently it's being called persuasive.

0

Chapter 2: What are the latest updates on AI technology?

86.732 - 121.436 Scott Adams

So it would be the first AI that kind of crossed that boundary into not just answering questions, but being persuasive. And one tester called it warm and intuitive and natural AI. And apparently it's got a personality and it shows better judgment and creative in writing. So it's basically more human-like and less machine, they say. So I have the highest level subscription.

0

122.517 - 155.69 Scott Adams

So I fired it up and I asked it one question and it lied to me. And it showed no human warmth, no persuasion ability, and no ability to answer a simple question. Do you know what the simple question was? Are you chat GPT 4.0 or are you 4.5? Now, keep in mind that at the top of the screen, I was using the app, it said 4.5. I just selected it. from the dropdown menu. So it says, I'm 4.5.

0

155.99 - 188.703 Scott Adams

And then I say, are you 4.5? No, no, that's not really available. I'm 4.0. And I thought, it's just no different. So my own experience was it, I played with it for a few minutes and all it is is a liar in a box. That's my summary of AI. A liar in a box. Because it literally hallucinates, but also if it's anything important, it has to lie to you because it's programmed to do that.

0

189.163 - 215.614 Scott Adams

Because there's no way that the real truths of the universe or the way the world works could ever be revealed by AI. So it's basically a liar in a box. But sometimes it helps you write computer code. Anyway, I'm sure it'll get better in the next version. That next version is going to be amazing. Well, the Department of Homeland... This story is funny, if it's true.

0

216.555 - 236.707 Scott Adams

According to ZeroEdge, the Department of Homeland Security was... doing some bargaining with the TSA. So they've got a union, the TSA people, the airport checkers. And they ended the collective bargaining after they found out that there were more people in TSA

Chapter 3: How is the TSA failing its responsibilities?

237.466 - 272.989 Scott Adams

involved in the union the union than there were in checking bags so that literally their their organization had more people just doing you know bs union stuff than actual work administrative union stuff how is that even possible How do you get to the point where you have more people doing union-related work than actually checking bags at the airport? And it makes me think.

0

274.07 - 308.438 Scott Adams

All right, let me connect some dots without doing any research at all. Okay, okay. It's a union. It's a union. Is it more likely to be led by Democrats or Republicans? Democrats. Democrats. They like the unions. So it's more likely a Democrat organization. And let's see. It's run more like Hunter's artwork. Hmm. I guess nobody saw that coming. Now, I'm very serious when I tell you.

0

Chapter 4: What issues are arising from Democrat-led organizations?

309.281 - 334.664 Scott Adams

that it looks like 100% of all Democrat-led organizations are just criminal enterprises. If the TSA was hired more people to not check bags than to check bags, that's a criminal enterprise because nobody signed up for that. Where does their funding come from? Are they hiring all their relatives or something?

0

335.253 - 364.863 Scott Adams

How in the world do you get to the point where you're spending more or you have more people working on the union stuff than the job? Criminal enterprise. Meanwhile, FEMA has fired three supervisors that were part of that problem where Trump-supporting homes were going to be overlooked because they thought it might be a problem if they knocked on the door of a Trump supporter. So allegedly...

0

365.54 - 390.312 Scott Adams

They were skipping some Trump supporters and three more supervisors who apparently allowed that behavior, knew about it and allowed it, according to the New York Post, have been fired. Now, FEMA. So during the prior administration, who was in charge of FEMA? Oh, that's right, Democrats. And were they doing the job of FEMA?

0

390.932 - 420.17 Scott Adams

Or were they moving some money over to, let's say, housing migrants in five-star hotels and overlooking the homes of Trump supporters? Yeah, yeah. Now, I don't know if that's a criminal enterprise, but there is some consistency with Democrat-led organizations. Now, I'm not saying that Republicans have never done anything bad. That's not it at all.

0

420.911 - 448.357 Scott Adams

I'm just saying that on the Democrat side, it looks like 100%. I think every, you know, even the Democrats who are trying to save the party Part of their suggestion to other Democrats is to stop pretending that cities are okay. Cities aren't okay. They're mostly Democrat-run, and they're absolute disasters.

Chapter 5: How is the Trump organization responding to recent banking actions?

448.957 - 471.18 Scott Adams

And even the Democrats who are trying to save their own party are saying, okay, we have to admit that all the cities are disasters and they're Democrat-run. Because if you can't do that, the voters will say, what's going on? You don't even admit that the cities are disasters. We can all see it. Yeah, the cities are part of that problem.

0

472.941 - 500.241 Scott Adams

Meanwhile, the Trump organization is suing Capital One because that bank allegedly closed a bunch of Trump-related accounts after January 6th. Presumably because they didn't want to be associated with it and they thought maybe the tide of politics was moving against Trump and they wanted to get out of the way of it. So they're getting sued because did they have cause?

0

501.361 - 529.236 Scott Adams

Had the Trump organization done anything with their bank accounts that would cause them to be closed? Absolutely not. They just closed them for political reasons, alleged the lawsuit. So let me ask you this. Do you think the heads of Capital One, the executives, who presumably had to sign off on this, do you think they were Democrats or Republicans? You know the answer. I'm going to say Democrats.

0

530.677 - 557.982 Scott Adams

Because this is, at least on the surface, if the allegations are true, I don't know if it's a criminal act to debank somebody for political reasons, but it's certainly an actionable one. It looks like the lawsuit may have some merit, so we'll see where that goes. Meanwhile, anti-DEI activist Bobby Starbuck may have another win here.

0

558.002 - 565.725 Scott Adams

AT&T is dropping its woke policies, and Starbuck was active in that.

566.391 - 595.759 Scott Adams

making that happen so they're good i guess they had pronoun pins they were asking people or at least allowing people to wear a pin on their shirt that said what they were can you believe or someday we're going to look back on this and we're going to laugh that people had to label themselves for a while well there were a few years kids when when people had to label their gender because people just couldn't tell

Chapter 6: What changes are happening at AT&T regarding DEI policies?

596.323 - 615.816 Scott Adams

Couldn't tell by looking at them. So they're going to get rid of that. They canceled a bunch of pride programs. They're unwinding their DEI. I'm not sure they're doing as much as they say they are because they're head of DEI. Oh, and they're not doing scholarships that are racist anymore.

0

617.296 - 643.27 Scott Adams

But their chief diversity officer is now listed as vice president of culture and inclusion, to which I say, is that really going to be different than DEI? So we'll see if AT&T is serious about this. So far, it looks good. I mean, they did call out a very specific set of things that they used to do that they're not going to do. So we'll see. Might be a step in the right direction.

0

645.612 - 662.668 Scott Adams

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is cutting $400 million in grants to Columbia University. according to Fox News, because there's a concern that Columbia has not done enough to fight the anti-Semitism on their campus.

0

663.768 - 692.709 Scott Adams

Now, that would be related to the pro-Hamas protests that are going on and creating a culture where if you're a Jewish student at Columbia, apparently it's just frightening, frightening to even be on campus because the level of bullying and violence Essentially, it's more than just speech. There's a physical threat to it that's completely unacceptable.

0

693.649 - 725.535 Scott Adams

And it's going to cost Columbia University $400 million. Now, I don't know how much it costs to operate a university, but I feel like I could operate an entire university on $400 million. But that's the part they're going to lose. So, wow. Anyway, speaking of that, also the New York Post is reporting that the U.S. is going to yank the visas. I love the word yank in any kind of headline.

Chapter 7: How is Columbia University affected by anti-Semitism concerns?

725.595 - 740.399 Scott Adams

They're going to yank. They're going to yank the first visa, so it's just one person so far, of a foreign student who is linked to Hamas-supporting disruptions on campus. So they actually found a pro-Hamas...

0

741.207 - 769.339 Scott Adams

non-citizen who was part of these protests and they just said well you're going home just one yeah one we imagine they might find more but that's one goodbye i like that i like that that they're sending them home um here's another one that we don't know what's behind it but you could kind of speculate so you remember when mayor adams in new york was uh under all these uh corruption charges

0

770.254 - 790.539 Scott Adams

And it looked like it might be more political than legal. And you see the actual nature of the charges. And it was stuff like the country of Turkey asked them for a totally normal favor, which was, can you check on our building? It's not getting approved for, I don't know, the fire department hadn't approved it, which to me is just the job of a mayor.

0

791.779 - 815.578 Scott Adams

Somebody who's got an interest in the city says something's not working. So they go to the mayor and the mayor looks into it. That should be the way things work. But then there was, oh, but then Turkey rewarded him by upgrading his travel, to which I say, that's also the most normal thing in the world, people getting their travel upgraded.

0

816.159 - 845.851 Scott Adams

Okay, and maybe you and I don't get it, but it's just so normal and routine. Anyway, so the two of the prosecutors who were after Mayor Adams said, have been escorted out of the building, according to the New York Times. So the Justice Department somehow has a beef with them, and they were immediately escorted out of the building. So I assume that means fired or put on leave.

846.252 - 866.104 Scott Adams

I don't know what that means. But the implication is that maybe they were law-faring Adams and that maybe the prosecutors were the bad guys. We don't have evidence of that yet. We only have speculation, but that's what it looks like.

867.285 - 900.7 Scott Adams

So would this be another example of a Democrat-led organization, the New York prosecutors, that were closer to a criminal organization than an actual legitimate enterprise? That's what it looks like. We've got a pretty clear pattern here. Meanwhile, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Hollywood Studios are buying more ads on X. So Disney, Warner Brothers, a bunch of them.

901.821 - 933.054 Scott Adams

I don't think it's a huge change compared to what it was back during the Twitter days. So it's not like everything's coming back, but there's a little movement to bring it back. But there's some controversy because Elon Musk is embedded with the government at the moment. And Elon Musk runs X. And apparently there's some thinking that one of the big advertising, what would you call them?

933.194 - 954.225 Scott Adams

There's sort of an advertising organization that makes recommendations and places ads on behalf of a number of different entities called Interpublic. But Interpublic wants to get this big merger done with some other enterprise that does something similar. And it would require government approval.

Chapter 8: What tensions exist between Elon Musk and Marco Rubio?

1079.374 - 1106.805 Scott Adams

That is the strongest signal you could get that it's illegitimate. Because the legitimate things get all the normal Democrats on it, too. The illegitimate things, it always starts with these three cats, right? You know, and then how long before, well, I guess they're senators, but you'd expect, you know, Swalwell to be in there. You know, basically all the worst of the worst.

0

1107.465 - 1139.074 Scott Adams

They get behind the things that are the least true. Well, there's a story in The Hill and I guess other people reporting that allegedly, I wasn't in the room, but allegedly that Musk and Rubio got into some kind of a verbal confrontation at a meeting. And maybe Musk got into a verbal confrontation with Duffy on air traffic controllers, something about DEI. And allegedly...

0

1141.668 - 1167.667 Scott Adams

Allegedly, Rubio and Musk had strong words for each other. And allegedly, Musk didn't think that Rubio was cutting enough and of USAID. And allegedly, the president stepped in to defend Rubio because he's got an enormous portfolio. So here's where I agree with Rubio. Rubio's job is so big. Oh, my God.

0

1168.287 - 1192.361 Scott Adams

So if you were just the State Department during these times when there's a lot of State Department stuff going on around the world, and then suddenly you have to absorb USAID and also make all those decisions about what to cut, the size of Rubio's job now is just overwhelming. I can't imagine how any human could even survive that at this point.

0

1193.231 - 1220.695 Scott Adams

But certainly, it makes sense that you'd see some pushbacks from all the cabinet heads who don't want to lose control, and they also want to make sure the cuts make sense in their cabinet. So there's a natural tension there. So Trump was asked about it, and he just said, you know, some reporter asked about it at a press event. He said, there was no clash. I was there.

1220.875 - 1236.305 Scott Adams

You're just a troublemaker, said to the reporter. So who do you believe? Do you believe that there was some tenseness and some words? Or do you think Trump is right and says, there was no clash. I was there. You're just a troublemaker.

1238.615 - 1265.315 Scott Adams

I'm going to say it's somewhere in between, meaning that a good, healthy government situation is where you have really strong players and they can be as honest as they need to be, especially behind closed doors. So what I heard was you've got two superstars. I think Rubio's doing great and Musk is doing great. There's a natural conflict.

1266.232 - 1291.04 Scott Adams

I'd say a natural friction between the super cost-cutting people who want to go deep and a cabinet person who wants to make sure that the cuts are smart. So that's a natural conversation. You'd expect those two people to go at it pretty hard. And if they do it transparently and they do it in front of other people, you know exactly what they're thinking, that's all good. That's all good.

1291.32 - 1319.451 Scott Adams

You can't treat lions like kittens, right? If you put a bunch of lions in the same room, you're going to get a little roaring, right? So if you want lions, you get this. There's nothing wrong with it. They should push hard, and probably they're all capable enough, smart enough, reasonable enough that they can get past anything that looks like a little tiff. So I wouldn't worry about it at all.
