He's closed more clubs than the coronavirus.

Comedian Joe DeVito. She's like a cigarette butt. Small, white, and often founded crime scenes. Fox News contributor, Kat Too. And finally, he uses sleeping bags for socks. My massive sidekick in the NWA World Everywhere Champion, Tyrus. All right. Could AI fakes cause existential mistakes?

On Monday morning, a picture of an explosion near the Pentagon spread like photos of me flexing my quads. Take a look. Yeah. Those are my quads. Anyway, the explosion was totally faked, created using artificial intelligence. That's right. It was about as genuine as cat's hair. And marriage. It's true.

Several news agencies picked it up, including India's Republic TV and Russian state media outlet, Russian Today, both agencies that boast higher ratings than CNN. That phony photo dropped just after U.S. stock markets opened at 9.30 in the morning, causing the S&P 500 to drop 30 points within minutes. The Arlington Fire Department and the Department of Defense had to put out a joint statement reassuring that all the bombings were a hoax. So does the rise of AI or artificial intelligence mean mankind is screwed? Oh, wow.

On the other hand, it certainly has to be better than no intelligence at all. But it seems like it could trick us into thinking we could get attacked, and when we strike back, then we unleash a real war. Think about it. A lot of people thought the Pentagon had been bombed, and that fake news story went around the world in the time. it took me to finish this sentence. And that's because a lot of journalists were more concerned

with being first than being correct. Now, we don't want to contribute to the hysteria, but we have unconfirmed reports, actually, of some new bombings. It's easy. All you have to do is to... Viagra Ann sure made me self-conscious about taking baths in the forest.

Yeah. Well, he's used to bombing on stage. But such explosions, maybe they aren't all bad. Jesus. I feel like he took his favorite seat at lunch or something. Yes, can't say I disagree with that. All right, Joe. Have you ever considered using AI to create a full audience at one of your shows.

I don't know why people, who fell for this? Yeah, exactly. I mean, that picture looks like it's from a screen grab from Call of Duty from like 2003. And people, oh, we can't trust Russia Today? Oh, where am I getting my morning horoscope from now? Russia Today, I guess the $8 Twitter verification is not as thorough as we thought it was going to be, that Russia Today would publish this. I think we blame too many things on AI now.

It's like getting fat and black. blaming the vending machine. Yes. It's the person's intent, you know, and it's the problem is not AI. It's that people want to believe in dumb things that reinforce whatever they want to believe in the first place. So if you want to believe the Pentagon had been attacked, then you would believe that photo.

If you didn't, you would look at it and you'd know it was phony. And the problem is, it's human nature. It's like Dr. Zaya said, mind the eighth. He said, man is the devil's tool, and he was a doctor. He was a doctor, as was Dr. Jill. A full-blown doctor, cat. If you could manipulate AI to fool people into believing something, have you ever thought about what that something could be?

Like if, like, not like blowing at the Pentagon, but maybe something else. Like, I don't know. No, I just don't think I have, like, it in me to keep up a delusion. No. No. I think also people are kind of a little bit overreacting to this. What happened in your mouth there?

Did you stroke out? Yes. Who is that guy? Don't worry. I don't care. I don't care. Okay. Everyone's like, we need massive federal regulation of AI.

People were confused for several minutes. Yes. Okay. I don't think, I know that everybody loves the government more than I do, but please don't be that big of a bitch. Like, you don't need to call the government in. You just Google it. And, like, no one's going to start a war.

I know we don't have, you know, Congress declare war anymore, even though we're supposed to, according to the Constitution. I think it takes more than a few minutes for people to decide that. I think at least you Google first. I think it's amazing, too, that if this stuff actually worked, how come Ukraine or Russia haven't used it? Like, they would have every reason to use AI, and they're not doing it.

Instead, they use other propaganda that we see through. Tyrus, is this why we can't trust anything now unless we see it with our own eyes? Well, we can't trust ourselves. And that's what this is. AI is now an excuse for, I think Joe made a great point to where, like, if you're a bad actor, it's not an individual person. Some jackass went on Twitter and put fake bombs around the Pentagon. Now it's AI. Yeah.

It's like the new word for racist. It's AI. Is AI? Is AI? No, it's people on keyboards doing dumb shit. And then, of course, everyone jumps to it and retweets because we're all talking about it. And it's no different than every time you do the videos with all of a sudden you have quads the size of Godzilla and stuff like that. That's not AI.

That's real. That's his buddy Gene doing cut and paste on the computer for 47 hours. Okay? So let's, if it was AI, that had been an actual explosion. Okay, so let's stop using the term AI. Like, it's a clever thing. No, it was an . It was an AI.

It was an HA. It was a good point. It probably wasn't AI at all. It was just somebody doing some stupid crap. AI? Soft paint. Yeah. Yes.

Okay, that leads me to the important business question to the business person here. Yes. No, not you. Referring to the young lady in the audience wearing a business school person. Incorrected. Okay. So it caused a tiny movement in the stock market, but it was still a lot of money.

It was like... No, it was $100 billion. So in the matter of minutes, whether it was an AI or a stupid person or whoever it was, it wasn't enough for the markets. The S&P 500 sold off over 1 third of 1%. It's $100 billion in stock valuations. just gone because of a fake picture. So regardless of who created it,

I think it just speaks to the fragility and maybe how easy you can manipulate the world's largest stock market. I mean, it quickly recovered, but this is a major problem. Elon Musk, who created open source AI, has said, you know, the zombie apocalypse is coming of the computers

like Will Smith and I robot. He said, hey, there needs to be some type of regulation, even if you're a libertarian or in favor of small government. The problem is Congress doesn't know how to regulate this kind of stuff. They don't even know what AI is. Are you saying that maybe you and I should get together and come up with something? Like, think about this. You sell you, you buy a bunch of it either.

I don't think you should. You put out the, you show like something blow up, the stock goes down, then you buy it. Yeah. You can do that and you will be in jail. My stocks took a hit. My new company, Pentagon brand bomb repellent. We got whaled on it. I don't know.

I think I'm going to be a stock guy. Yeah, because I would Google it. Yes. That is true. Or if you have the Pentagon, step outside. Nope. Happy to report. All right, we got to move on.

It won't shed light or block heat, but activists still think it's sweet.

So last week, the L.A. Department of Trans, Held a press conference to unveil improvements to four bus stops around the city. The last improvement they made was installing fresh urine. Smells so good in the morning. Who's making that urine? So here's that improvement. It's a curved metal grate attached to a bus stop pole. It's about the same size and shape as the steel place.

in Governor Newsom's head. Each one costs 10 grand. And while they're practically useless for blocking the sun, at least they're too high for anyone to poop on. Yet. They're part of a pilot program

called La Sombrida, which is Spanish for a f*** idea. Apparently, it all came about as part as the city's gender equity action plan following a survey from female bus riders who requested more shade in the day

and more light at night. Sounds like to describe in the perfect kitchen, right, ladies? A sexist would say. But you're right, when you're waiting for a bus in L.A., you need the extra light to review your last will and testament. Quickly, locals rip the whole thing

as another waste of tax dollars, but the Department of Transportation defended the idea. Even providing this handy illustration of how sunlight and shade works. But if they really wanted to help, they'd show Angelinos how to apply a tourniquet. And the nonprofit group who came up with the design argued

it'll save money in the long run because they could be installed quickly. And typical bus shelters cost 50 grand. Plus, it gives Angelenos the luxury of being able to defecate in the shade. Who's making that poop? So in short, a bus shade by women, for women,

Everyone laugh out loud. I guess women can be funny. Another sexist whose worst would say. Who writes that stuff, Kat? It's disgusting. You're not a fan of sunlight. I'm Polish. We're just not built for the sun.

You're not built for the sun. How is this any kind of champion of equity? Yeah, no, I see that. And as a woman, the first thing I think is so many dudes are going to pee on that. Yes, exactly. And as somebody... I say that about my face. No, I wrote...

I want to go home. Okay. I rode the bus. I rode the bus in L.A. a lot. I actually am pretty sure... That's where I got Skabies, circa 2011. Oh, how do you think I felt? So, as someone with a lot of experience,

I can say whenever I was waiting for the bus, I was too depressed and afraid to notice the hot sun. Yes. So I don't know exactly. who this is for. And the worst thing about it is that they did this whole like press thing and they're so proud of themselves. Like, your life suck. You taking the bus. Well, look what we have for you here. Exactly. I think if I was at that point in my life and I witnessed that while I was waiting for the bus, I'm, I'm not saying I would have gotten violent, but I'm, you would have

maybe. Yes, maybe. You wouldn't not, not be violent. Is this like a microcosm, Tyrus, of like serious problems that women face every day going to and from work. And the government solution is here's a metal thing. You can't even defend yourself with it. Okay. Well, first of all, you see how it works. The shade is on the bottom pole. That's your shade there. It's like a line.

It's all the shade you're getting. That's number one. Number two, this is what happens. Made by woke, built by woke, put out by woke. And the rest of the world goes, what in the fuck are you doing? No one who's ever actually needed shade. The other thing is, is that in doing this, they know the real problem. If they would have made a nice umbrella to protect shade, it would have been turned into somebody's house. Exactly.

That's what's going on in L.A. when I grew up in L.A., I used to go to Gold's Gym in Venice Beach. Every bus stop, they had like a bench and this little building that kept you, and you'd go in and keep the rain off you and the sun off you. Those are now apartments now for the homeless. So that is what they're thinking, but they don't realize that that is now a post for a homemade tent. So either way, they still can't do it. But again, stupid, it even has holes in it to mess with you. So when you run up and you're like, oh, I got to get out of the sun, and then you'll have a poor little Joe or cat with her Polish ancestry.

We'll have little dots of sunburns all over their face. But again. That makes, that almost redeems the whole thing. This is what happens when you give woke, one woke person a check, and they clearly, parents cheated for them when they went through school because that literally looks like a limp popsicle. Yeah, you're melting one. Heather, is this proof that you can't actually make nice things? Because as, as Tyra says, if you made anything that was actually useful, it would just Yeah, but it would be stolen or turned into something. So instead you got this piece, you can't

even snort coke off it, Heather. No, not with holes in it. No. I knew you knew business. This has holes in it. How are we going to do? Blow. We'll be right back. I can't. It's so early in the week and you're already there. I'm sorry.

As a woman, I think I'd feel more safety and more shade with maybe a pocket knife, an umbrella, like you said, in a flashlight. I mean, you didn't play some of the interviews. I watched them online of the local residents. They said, hey, what do you think about this? Lego contraption for 10K. And the women that they're interviewing. Well, I don't really know. I guess. It looks cool. No one said it would help them. No. No one said they thought this was a great idea. They couldn't figure out what part of it speaks to shade or safety. There's no AC and it doesn't have an invisible shield. So I don't know.

You know, Joe, in the green room, you said this is why all inventors are men. Could you elaborate on that? Well, it's supposed to be designed for women and there's no place to put your penis. What the hell? There are holes. Where's the pocket? This is so offensive to trans. That device. It's sexist, and it's fatphobic.

How much shade can one person get off this one little beam of sunlight that it blocks? And it's so silly because when I saw the picture by itself, I thought, what is this, a giant cheese grater? Yeah. And then I saw the actual size. It's a medium size. cheese grater. It's not even a huge. But I do feel bad. Like, Kat, you were right. They're so triumphant.

And I thought, how could they be so excited with this dumb thing they made? But then when you hear about, they can't get the permits. They can't build things on the sidewalk that stick out too far. They can't build things that go into the road too much. They can't build things. So this goes to show you, big government even screws up projects for big

government. That's the best they could do. But they said it was too costly to build a normal bus stop. But what they're saying is, that people sleep in the bus stop. They don't even want them there. They made the thing with holes in it. Yeah.

Okay? They don't want you to stay there. You know what it's like? It's like when you see those benches that have the sharp objects on, and it's like, oh, you can't sit on them and they're not really benches. Oh, yeah, but it keeps the pigeons

and the homeless off. And it's like, well, now we have nothing. Yeah. That's what this is. They couldn't make bus stops because homeless took, if you go down 6th Avenue or 7th Avenue, they, all their bags everywhere,

that was this response. feel really sad. And this time, it's not because of your clothing, Joe. Well, but they said we can't spend $50,000 to make a decent one. Yeah. But we'll take the $10,000 to make a useless one. Exactly. All right. Good point.
