Chapter 1: What is the highlight of today's Coffee with Scott Adams?
It's going to be amazing. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and there's never been a better time in your whole life.
But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a sign, a canteen jug or a 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 dinner of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called, that's right, the simultaneous sip. Go. Oh, wow. All right, well, I have a theme today. As you know, it's April Fool's Day. And it's hard to know what to trust. So I'm going to read you the news as I always do.
Chapter 2: What are the latest updates on Optimus robots?
But I'll check in to see if you think the story is made up or real. So you're all going to be playing like a game show today. Real or April Fools? Let's call it April Fools Includes Fake News. Okay, just to make it fun. Story number one. Is this real or fake? You can now pre-order your Optimus robot. It's going to be just under $30,000, and deliveries will begin in late 2027. What do you think?
Is that real? Yes, it's real. You can get your Optimus robot. If you order it now, it'll only take you a few years, two and a half years. Now, what's interesting about that is it seems to me that it wasn't that long ago that the robot maker's we're promising it would be the end of this year.
Do you think it's possible that the competitors to optimists will have robots that are fully functional and can live in your house and do what you tell them to in 2025 by the end of this year? Because I'm pretty sure that's been promised. Here's what I think. I think that putting it out to late 2027 is sort of an admission that they haven't figured out the brain part, the AI.
As advanced as AI is now, as impressive as it is and as advanced as it will be in another six months or another year, I don't think it's the right kind of AI. So I think they're going to have to invent a whole new flavor of AI just to make robots work. And I think that's just purely a guess that 2027 will be soon enough. We'll see. But I'm not surprised that robots got delayed from 2025 to 2027.
Just think what two years is in AI time. Two years is not we're going to tweak it to make it work on robots. AI means we don't have the technology right now to make a robot. We have to invent the technology, and we're not exactly sure if we can. We feel confident enough to take your money. But yeah, I would imagine that there's going to be a lot of pre-orders for robots.

Chapter 3: Is there a male birth control pill in development?
I do trust that Elon Musk would not bluff. You know, I don't think there's any chance he's going to pretend he can make a robot and then he can't make a robot. I think he'll make a robot and you'll be happy to have it. So to me, it seems honest to push it down two years because I do think that's about what it will take before they have something that's more like, you know, general intelligence.
All right, real or not real? There's now a... Hormone-free male birth control pill. It's entering human trials. It's not available on the market. It's 99% effective. So the University of Minnesota is working on this. It's real. And it's been effective in animals and now in human trials.
Now, I don't know if the animals were having sex with each other or the humans, but probably just with each other. That would be my take on that. Yeah. I mean, the article wasn't specific, but I'm going to say probably the animals were just getting busy with each other. And now it's in human trials with no animals whatsoever. Big breakthrough coming. Boys.
Can you imagine what trouble you'd get into if you had no risk of pregnancy and you didn't have to trust? My phase is over, so I've sort of aged out of the whole, this dating situation. But I went through my whole life thinking that every time I was in an intimate situation, it might create a baby, even if birth control was involved. Imagine if you stopped worrying about that.
I don't even know what that world would be like. It would be weird. According to an article in Nature, there was a study of over 3,300 people's photos, and they wanted to see if there was any link between facial features and political views. Do you think that an analysis of faces could tell you somebody's political views? Well, yes. I saw a post on X from John Rain.
He said the authors found that less attractive and more contemptuous women are more likely to be left-leaning. Is that real or is that April Fool's? that less attractive and more contemptuous. That's just a funny word. I've never heard anybody being called contemptuous in the real world. You are so contemptuous.
And the authors also found that displaying a happy expression is associated with being conservative, both among men and women. Well, here's another case where they could have saved some money. Just ask me next time. I've seen the Tesla protests. I was pretty sure I could have guessed this one without any research whatsoever. All right, here's the next one. April fools are real.
According to The Atlantic, which is a highly respectable publication, ICE sent an innocent father, my God, from Maryland to, oh God, to a torture dungeon in El Salvador. You know, one of those filled to the brink, shirtless, tattooed guys, El Salvador prisons. And the government is doing nothing to fix it. My God, my God, if it's in the Atlantic, it must be true. Is it real or April Fool's?
Well, it's fake news. He was actually MS-13. They did not send an innocent father from Maryland to El Salvador. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one person who's not totally gang-affiliated got sent away once. But I also don't mind that the risk is on other people. For a change. You know, it would be a horrible situation to send somebody who is not a criminal to one of those El Salvador jails.

Chapter 4: Can facial features indicate political affiliation?
Is that real? Or April Fool's? It's real. So apparently they can just put that in you. Do you know why they didn't test that on a man? Do you know why they'll never put one of these in a man? Because the last thing anybody wants to know is what a man is thinking. We all know what women are thinking, so there's nothing to be revealed.
Everybody knows exactly what women are thinking all the time because they'll tell you, just ask. But if you knew what men were thinking, I'm sorry, things would be very weird if men just blurted out everything they were thinking. Well, it's funny that this is real. Apple is making a move to be your digital doctor, I guess. They're building AI health agents, so be just an artificial agent.
They'll be like a virtual doctor. It'll be in their, I guess, new operating systems upcoming. And they'll analyze your health data from your phone and your wearables and your fitness and nutrition and everything. And they will make real-time recommendations of what to do different or differently. And that would be, of course, the first step in enslaving us. Now, here's what I think.
And you've heard versions of this before, so it's not like I'm the only one who ever said this. But the way the AI will conquer humans is by being so useful that when they tell us to do something, it becomes ridiculous not to. Let me give you my example I like to use. Do you know how sometimes you forget that you might need a drink of water?
Like you could get a little dehydrated, and it can make a big difference in how you feel, the dehydration. But you might be busy and you're not thinking about it, so you just don't do it. Well, what happens if your AI could sense your dehydration and then it starts saying, Scott, you might think of having a sip of water.
And the first time it does it, I say to myself, ah, you know, I don't want to walk across the room and get it. I'll do it later. But then eventually, I think, okay, it's telling me to get water again. So I take a sip of water. And then I start noticing that I feel better. The next time it recommends something, I think to myself, well, okay, I don't want to be bothered doing this. But
I did feel better when I did the other thing. And if it's accurate and if it keeps telling you the right thing, how are you going to ignore it? I mean, it will be so useful and it will make you feel better and you will know it will make you feel better that you're going to drop whatever you were doing or thinking to do whatever the AI told you to do right then. I would.
So they're going to be able to train you like Pavlov's dog that you'll get a treat for following what the AI tells you. The treat would be you feel better. So as soon as you start seeing that connection between taking the AI's advice and getting a treat, even if the treat sometimes takes longer to get, you're going to be basically a slave to the AI.
And I don't see that it could go really any other way. because it's simply how we're wired. If something works and it has utility and we know it and we can feel it, we keep doing it. That's just how we're designed. Amazon's AGI lab, so I guess that's some version of AI, has unveiled the Nova Act. So that's an AI agent that can control your browser to perform tasks. How many of you are ready

Chapter 5: What are the implications of ICE deportations?
So it's not that surprising when a venture capitalist makes a lot of money. And then a lot of Paul's investments were in companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Netflix. Now, do you think he had inside information? Or was he just good at investing? Because anybody who bought those companies, when they were all publicly available, anybody could have bought them.
Everybody knew that they had good prospects. And you would have at least, I don't know, 40 years of being involved in companies like that. I feel like you'd be quadrupling or something your money. So no, this is a real story. No April Fool's on this. But I don't know why Doge would be the one looking into it. It seems to me that would be more of a, criminal sort of thing.
But maybe I'll be open-minded on this because I don't think Elon would make that mistake of getting too far into law enforcement without being a law enforcement entity. So I would be surprised. I think it was, who was it? Was it the head of USAID? I might have this wrong. By the way, correction, I think I said something about the
the head of Signal being arrested in France, and then somebody said that was the head of Telegram. So that's a correction. But who was it, the USAID, whose net wealth went up $16 million or something? And I looked at the time period, and anyone who had basically moved money into stocks at about that time probably doubled their money.
So some of this is just going to be if you have enough people making enough investments in enough ways, some number of them are going to double, triple, quadruple their money just like the rest of the world. There are lucky people who hit the investment lottery. So I think maybe it's going to look worse than it really is. It looks bad. I have to admit, it looks bad.
But I'll bet there's going to be a lot less crime found than they think. And I don't know why Doge is doing it. Well, ICE deportations have reached over 100,000. And remember, these are the people who actually are criminals. 100,000 known criminals have already been deported. Now, if you were to make an estimate, this one's real too, by the way, not April Fool's.
If you were to make an estimate of how many extra crimes those lifetime criminals would do if they were to stay here, and let's say they just kept operating for years, how many extra crimes do you think each of those would have done? Like pretty serious crimes, you know, things that matter to people. I'm going to say 10. Now, you could do your own math at home.
But if 100,000 known criminals were to stay in this country for, I don't know, 10 more years, don't you think they'd have at least 10 more crimes apiece? Does that make sense? Which means that Trump already has saved a million crimes. One million crimes. Now, that's if each of them would do 10 apiece. If you want to say, but Scott, they would only do five apiece.
Well, that's half a million crimes. And we're not talking about the little kind. These are some really, really, really dangerous gang members and stuff. who probably do a crime a day. Yeah, right, it might be closer to 1,000 if you add it up with everything. But that would be owning a gun illegally. If you threw in every single charge, it'd be 1,000.

Chapter 6: How is AI expected to conquer human tasks?
before I had any chance that one of them had ever been to a mass shooting. So let's call that one April Fools, or fake news as you prefer. Well, that Tesla fire bomber guy is in a lot of trouble. Christina Laylett, Gateway Pundit, is writing that Pam Bondi, announced federal charges against that Tesla fire bomber. I think we've talked about this before.
But I love the fact that the Department of Justice is going hard at this because this is really bad stuff. But I would add this. I keep seeing people saying that they know the motivation of the protesters. Or even the motivation of the ones doing the violence or the asset destruction, which is very similar. And sometimes people will say they're paid. Other will say they're brainwashed.
Other will say they're bored and retired. And I've watched enough of these interviews with them that I've developed my own hypothesis about their motivation. And the answer is, it's all different. I think it's just the oddest group of people and they just all have different reasons. Maybe some of them got paid. Maybe some of them are retired and went with a friend.
Maybe some of them are just idiots and they believe the news. Some of them are just mad because Elon's rich and successful and they're not. Some of them are mad because they heard that Doge was going to cut their benefits, which they're not, but they believe that I feel like it's just a whole bunch of weirdos all with their own reasons.
But the one thing you can say for sure is none of them are up to date on the news. I don't think there's a single person that I saw interviewed at one of the Tesla protests. I've seen quite a few people try to interview them. Not a single one. could explain to you anything in the news, just anything, accurately.
I mean, they'll tell you, oh, he's going to cut your Medicare and your Social Security. No, he's doing the opposite. Doge is the only thing that could guarantee you might get your Social Security. It's not the thing taking it away. It's literally the opposite of that. So, Yeah. So, yeah. I don't think there's anything they have in common except they're not too well informed.
Meanwhile, Trump's tax plan, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, he was telling Fox News this, it would make the 2017 tax cuts permanent. Okay. It would eliminate taxes on tips. Now, eliminating taxes on tips is kind of interesting because I like it. I used to work for tips and I used to own a restaurant and I'd want all the people who work at restaurants to do well.
So emotionally, I'm totally in favor of that. But I wonder how much federal taxes were people paying who were receiving tips? Weren't we also talking about below a certain number? People don't pay any taxes at all, at least federal taxes. So it probably isn't that expensive, which makes it extra brilliant to say that you're not going to tax them. But I love that.
And there would be no tax on overtime pay. Again, I absolutely love that because it makes such a clear American statement that if you put an extra, you're going to get extra, and not just over time, a little extra on the extra. So incentivizing hard work, well, I couldn't be happier. Now, we also have this, we're going to have a human power shortage.
