Episode Date: March 30, 2026

They’re testing this in war. It doesn’t stay there.AI targeting, autonomous drones, and systems making decisions faster than anyone can question them—this isn’t science fiction, it’s already happening. And once it’s built, it doesn’t just disappear.This week: robot teachers, AI warfare, disappearing jobs, and why none of this stays on the battlefield.Welcome to Kump.patreon.com/raykump⁠ for bonus episodes

President Trump is claiming we've won the war on Iran, as he sends an ever-increasing number of ground troops to the region just in case. These troops will almost certainly be deployed, and when they are, they'll be engaging with autonomous drones, cybernetic dogs, and black market hackers, armed a digital footprint,

credit report, and Netflix history of every soldier who storms the beaches of cargo. Island. Welcome to the next generation battlefield. The Pentagon has made it clear. They'll accept zero guardrails from Anthropic AI to target their missiles, which is fine, because Anthropics probably just trying to avoid a PR disaster anyway. Open AI stepped in eagerly to fill their place just before announcing their shutting down Sora, because I guess they realized letting people make porn out of Mickey Mouse isn't really a business plan. And in case you're too old, for any of this to make any sense. Rest easy. In a move

that isn't on the myth at all, the Army increases in the enlistment age to 42, so millennials can still take part in this Tobian experiment. The First Lady held an international summit to showcase a humanoid robot named Plato, who will

teach the children of elites, freeing them from the constraints of physical schools, so they can learn anywhere, whether it's a nuclear fallout shelter or a helicopter. on the way to a nuclear fallout shelter. Epic Games, makers of Fortnite, laid off 1,000 workers this week. Because even if the technology isn't quite there yet,

when the product is Yogi Bear and Hello Kitty Skins in a virtual shooting gallery, let's be honest, the customers aren't that discerning. And Mark Zuckerberg has shut down Horizon Worlds, the $80 billion flagship of the life-replacing Metaverse. after finally realizing that its project designed to torture humanity pales in comparison to the crushing yoke of regular life. And on top of all that, I use Chatsy BT today to find out how to order flowers that my wife liked from a movie.

And I ended up with a $5,000 vet bill because they're poisonous to cats. Welcome to the future. Welcome to Kump. We have Melania Trump. With Plato the robot. This is a bipedal teaching robot designed by the devil himself under a joint international venture to teach international students.

The goal was, we love the audio at the moment because it's, you know, music, it's maybe copy. Let's just skip ahead to the opening remarks of this robot. It is an honor to be at fostering the future together's global coalition inaugural meeting. I'm figure three, a humanoid built in the United States of America. I am grateful to be part of this historic movement to empower children with technology and education. Welcome. Wait, it's called Figure 3. I watched her earlier.

We'll get to that in a second. I could have sworn I saw Melania referred to it as Plato. I might have egg on my face. Benveneos. Benvenitos, figure three. I mean, this thing. looks like a digital assassin. This thing looks like it's designed to be some kind of specter that you stare into

because you cheated on your wife or something, and her new guy has money. I will be your new concubine, you know, Mark Zuckerberg, if you send one of your bipedal killers to deal with my slob of a husband. But I guess you can also teach. They can also teach you to read Moby Dick. Benvinidos. Benvinidu's. Asalam alaikum, I guess.

No, de salmabal ma'am abeem. Las Gavl Prasima, Dharajal. Thank you. I mean, I don't, it's not, they're trying to downplay it. They're trying to give it this kind of like, I don't know, Lindsay Lohan in the 90s kind of voice,

whatever that is. I could just said generic woman. But I'm not buying it. This thing is frightening and it has the same kind of black and white American flag on it that you'll see on a Delta tier one operator like Delta force or Navy SEALs right before they shoot bin Laden in the face straight out of the freezer I got excited about that one straight out of the freezer Jesus Christ There's Brigitte McCrone next to the line of Trump

Wasn't she the President McCrone's teacher, by the way? Are they going to speak? It walks away now. Is that going to join them for lunch? This is frightening. This is some kind of, and I feel bad for figure three. When does she talk? Together. Oh, here we go.

Figure three, thank you for joining me at day two of fostering the future together. It's fair to state. You are my first. American-made humanoid guest in the White House. But moreover, it is my distinct honor to receive such an... Isn't she the first humanoid? She's a human being. I won't just besmirch the first lady with claims of being an android.

She's out, you know, she's being... Look, I'm not saying this. She'd be like one of those Blade Runner ones, like a replicant, you know? Impressive group of leaders today. 45 of you have traveled from every corner of the planet to represent your nation as a part of this new coalition It's a new coalition to what exactly? I'm not even sure.

I could have sworn... Did she call it a Plato? I mean, I could just want she called the Plato at one point. It's fair to state, you're my first, sir. To receive such a... I could... Well, it doesn't really matter. It's a scary...

time we live in, um, what would be the goal of such a robot of such an android? Why, why do we have us in the first place? It's, they're, they're claiming it's there to free up people,

which is nice. Look, I like the idea, if I have kids of being able, you know, what if I want to go to Stade? I don't need, you know, to have to worry about is my kid going to miss,

you know, uh, geometry class, uh, if I, if I, if I need to have a, you know,

These people have to have meetings for like these, you know, oh, like, our names are in the Epstein files. And like, you know, maybe we can get, you know, a nice, like, you know, a nice double black diamond in on the way. We'll meet and Stad or we'll stop over and Stade on our way to, you know, whoever's house, it would be. Bill Gates, Larry Silverstein, whoever happens to be hosting that month to discuss the ongoing leaks and redactions. and you know the last thing you want to deal with is like oh I can't take my kid out of school because you know I guess there's a thing you know you you don't want to catch you know yapping from your wife about how you don't spend enough time with the kids you would think that that would be a plus hey these guys names in the Epstein files maybe we don't bring them you know

but no they still they still need a dad like it or not so you know wrap up to you and the tutors that you bring with you there are they're messy. They see things. That's part of the problem here. We're starting to realize I've been saying this for years. I don't like toot my own horn, my own prediction horn, all right? But I know what thing or two about it, thing or two occasionally. And I've been saying for years that they're just waiting for robots to get good enough that they can finally replace us in the fields, replace us in the office, and replace us in

I get, you know, in the classroom. And, you know, this is just the next. step. And if you think figure three isn't, you know, a good enough, you know, if it's not going to teach the classics to your kid, uh, it's a small price to pay for discretion the way these people see it. I don't even have discretion. You know, I don't have enough money. I barely have enough money for, uh, you know, to send my kids to a school in English. Do they have, I mean, I don't have kids yet, but one of the things hold me out is school competitions. That's the thing. apparently kids in Korea for instance I was reading this recently and it seems to be somewhat

true of the people in America who actually have a choice there's a whole thing is to why are they not having kids because the only people who actually succeed in Korea is according to the video I watched is that you know you have to go basically one of these technical schools and become one of these technical bureaucrats I'm not sure how it works but the point is if you don't if you don't say them there you might as well not have them they might as well be digging ditches and those jobs aren't you I mean honestly when's the last time a person dug a ditch you know what what are the dick ditch ditch ditching dig dig what are the 21st century I mean what are we going to have people do if they I mean they say those who can't teach right which I look did I ever have a teacher that really touched me and moved me and motivated me no I never did no offense to my teachers but you know it's Some of them are fine better than others, but some people out there really get motivated by teaching.

My teacher doesn't like me very much. I'm annoying. I'm fat and I'm grading. You know, yeah, you know, I'm either too dumb or too smart, depending on the class. I'm not like, I'm not the kid. You go, oh, he's going to be, I'm not the goodwill hunting.

Who says a exam on fire and goes, you know, I wish it was just fucking easy for you. But I'm also not like, you know, dumb enough that I can be inspired by, you know, whatever book club they want to do that month. Why don't you read, you know, I'm, you know, I ain't Rand, which I have read out with a shrugged. It has just good plus and minuses.

You know, the sex scenes are kind of weird, but, you know, it can be oddly motivating. But regardless, you know, there's an expression with that caveat, I say there's an expression those who can do, those who can't teach. I feel like it's a large gamut in between. But, you know, if we're not going to let people teach anymore, what are we going to let them do? They're going to do something people are going to do something unless they're going to put here's a thing

They're not that dumb you like to think they're that dumb you like to think that the people who run society are just morons and in a lot of ways they are But I feel like they will just put us in prisons at best They're not you know if you if we can't be coders if we can't be You know the the luminaries of the future generation a.k.k.a teachers and if we can't be, you know, ditch diggers, we can be carjackers, I guess. I'm not going to be that good at it. I have a feeling that even the civilian classes who I'll be set upon the torment will be able to fight back at me.

You know, I can be ferocious, but I'm not the quickest on my feet. Let's just be honest. So it just seems if they're going to replace everything, I don't know what's left for us to do. Maybe we can be, maybe, oh, we'll just lay in our backs. A lot of Musk teams to think, you know, he's always claiming we'll just have a universal basic income and we'll be able to do art all day, which basically just means I'll be able to ask Grock, hey, Grock, make me a, uh, Sydney, sweetie, uh, Sailor Moon again,

you know, and I can post it on, on, on, on, on, on X.com, right? make me a generative image of an eagle wearing a flack jacket. It doesn't seem that productive. It doesn't seem like a pace for itself. And I'm sorry, but these people don't seem to be the most honest. So far be from me to think that maybe we're not going to be useful to the new experiment. Maybe we're not going to be that, you know, that welcome at the point. party maybe maybe we're going to be the turd and a punch ball and maybe we'll be deemed redundant

but it doesn't seem like a nice too i mean i would like to have my you know just be able to teach my kid uh you know chaucer while we're at the arby's maybe that should be the new mode maybe maybe if you want to teach your kids certain things you have to go like you know how if you want to watch um what's a movie um um Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the Quentin Tarantino film. If you want to watch that, well, what streaming server has is it Netflix this month, or is Apple TV Plus have it? Or maybe it's Hulu Plus, right? They're gearing it.

Netflix is going to get it to have its, uh, are they making a show out of that? So now they're going to get the rights. It'll flow around, right? These things flow around. I was watching, uh, animal, what's that show? Animal Control with Joel McHale, right? I'm not saying, I'm not, it was fine. I checked it out and it was on Netflix now.

Hulu wasn't allowed to play it. And why am I saying this? Because even though the new episodes are on Hulu, Netflix made a deal, so now you have to go there for the first three seasons. So you can't have one subscription. And the same way, McDonald's, Burger King, Arbys, Wendy's, Taco Bell, they will get the rights to different subjects, perhaps.

If you want math this month, well, now it's Taco Bell with our new loaded Cases Dia nachos, which are quite good. They don't exist. There's some of the else they make. But that would be great. Why not just take cases of the years, tournament and nachos, and also teach my kids trigonometry? Isn't that an idea?

Why not have just give me back? They had that square box of nachos that was very reasonably priced. Bring that back and, like, you teach my kid to read. Taco Bell, get the dog involved. It would be nice. You know, you go to McDonald's. new big arch sandwich and uh it's fine i shouldn't know all these things i'm not proud of it i'm trying to eat better i had i mean it was you know but i did i did have the big arch at some point

last month i tried it it was it was fine is it enough to get me to go there no i'm trying not to eat i'm actually trying not to eat any of this crap but if my kids got to learn uh you know what a kid what physics what's what science the kids life science earth science my kids got to learn about rock and the scale of the elements. So guess who's getting fatter this month? It ain't going to be at Whole Foods, right? You're not going to be learning these corporations control these things for a reason.

Now, I don't know. You just got done telling us that, you know, that we serve no purpose. Why go through the charade? Well, that's a fair point. But, you know, if there's no one to look down on, maybe there's no point to being rich. That's also the idea.

So that will exist in a digital zoo. and they'll make it as hard as they can, because otherwise, you know, what's the fun of seeing a bear jump through a hula hoop that's not on fire? Not much. They want a big show. They're still Americans.

For now, they're elites, or least some of them are. You know, maybe the Vietnamese elites, the Japanese elites, have a little more taste. None of them integrate my own culture. I know we produce some fine art, but maybe they won't want to watch us do spelling bees

at the pizza hot lunch buffet. But for now, it's where it's going to be. At least the first phase of this new world will be at the pizza hot lunch buffet. I guarantee you. And that sauce stinks. It bites into your mouth, into your tongue. There's like little shards of salt.

I don't know if it's sugar or fiberglass. Either way, it's tasty, but it cuts into you. Much the way, you know, that first smoke of the pipe might do. am I allowed to say that on this platform regardless anyway let's uh I mean look

where else would you where do you want to teach your kids do you want to teach you in a classroom I mean they're overcrowded they don't have soft drinks you know your kid you are you're going to leave them alone with a regular teacher I you know at least when you go to McDonald's

you can see what's going on back there right you can see, you know, what they're doing to your meat. You can't do anything about it. You can't improve the situation, but you have an idea what's going inside you. And, you know, when you don't have any idea is schools. And I'll say this. Did people overreact or underreact on both either side, whatever?

I'm not going to get involved in the whole debate about kids and what trans and this and that and all this. It's not what this episode is about, right? I'm not here to take a stand But the point is maybe The answer is just this way Everyone sees what's going on We're all at the Olive Garden

We're all eating breadsticks And Pene Olive vodka While our kids are educated No one's in the dark anymore Are they telling you a kid that You know that gender is a fluid construct Well you'll be right there to find out With unlimited breadsticks

I doubt they'll keep that deal I doubt they'll keep that deal going Once they have the education A lot of these Value combo deals These endless buffets They're gonna go the way Of the dinosaur

Once they get this education mainline into you Once they have you paying To educate your kids At a Carl's Jr. They may not make You know the fry portions might go down For the equivalent money You may not get quite the deal

you used to get but you know at least knowing and complain because a big problem here is you know is this everyone's you know people that big as I'm not in the classrooms right I they go this teacher brought this up and they go doesn't seem like that would happen that often but a lot of people seem to be saying I don't know I like are people are people some people they're making it up on the other side or they're they're exaggerating things okay well now we all now we're on an even footing we're an even keel we're all eating pizza eating smorgasborg and we're and we're seeing where their kids are learning in real time what do you like it or not because you had this opportunity maybe i'm not trying to

denigate parents i'm not trying to say they you know the problem is you're supposed to be working whatever these people i'd be supposed to be working 40 hours a week right that's the idea but these people are working two jobs three jobs harder and harder it's a rat race i get it You know, you're sending your kids to a decent. You either are sending your kids to a private school and paying up the ass. Or you're moving them to a location

where the property taxes are through the route and you're paying up the ass. Or you're not doing that great financially and you're working three jobs. And you're paying up the ass for everything, right? Because nothing's easy. I mean, the actual rich, you know, but they worked real hard.

really someone in their family. Don't get involved in that. That's not what we were to do. Don't worry about the man behind the curtain. Worry about the man behind the counter. Making your hash browns for your early morning. Look, McDonald's breakfast is, you know, I haven't had in a while.

Last I checked was pretty tight. I mean, it makes you, doesn't make you feel great. What does? Exercise? Salads? Sure. But, you know, what's the last time a salad taught you?

you know what the hell Macbeth is about not recently no Sal had ever taught me differential calculus but Tyrone and you know at the McDonald's breakfast line I don't know how it works is there a robot there is there a guy in a grimace suit maybe I don't think everyone's getting the figure three I'm pretty sure she called she's I meant there was a video I wish I had it offhand but there's I watched it earlier I might have pulled like the condent the condensed clip, but I'm pretty sure she says something to the effect of, like, imagine a robot named Plato, a teacher named Plato. I thought the robot was named Plato.

I don't have time to change the intro. I was to vet all day. So it's just, you know, what do you want me to do? The point is, teaching is a, it's a dynamic job, all right? it's a it's a job that no one really wants to do unless you get no one's getting paid that much here's the thing I didn't finish the point from earlier

it's a you everyone it's not about delegating who's paying what my point was no one has time to show up in the classroom right or didn't before but now all your jobs are gone I mean we're talking about like we're talking about in the future don't don't get like you know six months

you know maybe a year so don't panic but your job will be gone the white collar job i mean some of the blue collar jobs might stick around for a minute you know until they build a biped you know oh how they're going to figure how to take amazon i mean you already do right a lot of that shit is robotic there's not going to be anything left they don't care they seem concerned they're not concerned the point is now you all you you have time the old day you show up you you bring your iPhone no one's asking you to also learn to read it hasn't you know it ain't gonna do you any good at this point oh this is not gonna be a great education no figure three slash play down whatever is gonna be the great

education the mcdonald's education is gonna be qualify you to maybe work at mcdonalds although i don't know about that and the last i checked you need like a high school diploma to work in mcdonald i did work there before i graduated high school but like if i was i think if of the high school dropout they might have had something to say maybe not but like i i think they want you at least to finish the fourth grade i don't think but i i'm not i'm not sure that the mcdonald's education is going to give you above a fourth grade reading level but what is who reads anyway but you're reading you know a lot do you really your kids really need to read what alon musk is saying on Twitter on x.com?

Is that going to help them? Is that going to be some great thing? I don't think it is. Excuse me. I don't think it helps them at all. But I digress. It'll be nice to see the first educated by fast food kids to like, you know, die in the, in the VR wars of 20, what year or wait, 2026?

of 2029. There'll be VR wars. The problem is the metaverse was too cutesy. If they're going to occupy us with, you know, digital lives, you can't, you know, it can't be this like, I mean, to me, don't get me. The last thing I'd want is to live in the cutesy metaverse. I have, Lucy got me, you know, my wife, Lucy, Lucy, of course, Lucy got me for fucking, you know, a couple years ago, the, the VR glasses.

know whatever the ones the meta VR the meta quest whatever I suppose I could play Batman my birthday one here very nicer lovely gift and I tried playing you know I didn't really get into the whole like social whatever it's like horizon whatever the hell it's called um like just you hey we're hanging around in the metaverse shit but I did play a couple other game did it I look if there's other games we're playing and you know about them let me know besides Batman but I played some game with your mining and it was like just checking it out like these free games and it's just like you know it's this cute C interface and like you hear kids talking like I can't be a part of this this is not for me I'm like nothing you know yeah they're barely interacting but you're hearing like kids like it's cool in the sense that like oh like I'm jumping into a mine I have a drill okay but I mean

there's not much there there's not much reason to be a part of it but if they can make a kind of digital hell, like a digital version of hell that you're in. Maybe that's the move is they put everyone under for a while and you awaken and you think you're in hell. But every so often they wake you up and go, not quite yet. It's like you can be like you're in hell for a while and you wake up to another hell. It's like, that's what sleep's going to be. They're going to figure out way for sleep to be that you think you're dead in hell.

and every day you have to be disappointed to wake up into a real life. Now take your kid to goddamn McDonald's, the goddamn Taco Bell, depending on which grade they're in and which, you know, which are they the eight group or the B group? You're going to show you're going to show to McDonald's a mouth watering for a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, right? I love those bacon,

uh, at least I get to get a bacon and cheese biscuit for bringing my kid to school. and sitting with them in the playpen in the balls or whatever right that one McDonald's have those but whatever and you show up they go hey idiot hey fat dumb fuck your kids in the beat your kids in a group this is the B group today uh was a it means going to talk about you dumb animal and you got to eat a taco bell bread which i've never even had what is that like in cases the yeah might be good i may actually that case of the other day a low carb rap I'm trying to eat the taco bell bread which i've never even had what is that like in cases the end might be good I may actually that case the other day a low carb rap I'm trying to to do the right thing is that not the right thing i've also just been eating salads but that's not what this is about this is about technology and fast food it's a brave new that's copyright right you can't say brave new world it's a hell of a world it's a small world after all your dad's on alcohol that can be a whole thing i should be the weird owl of this it's a small world after all your dad

drinks a lot of alcohol you go to taco bell you go to taco bell this fall that's your school I need some I need I need like a guy who like plays the piano to make these things work what are you gonna do other AI news so open AI has scrapped let's bring this up have I make this big hold on a second so open AI has scrapped the store of video platform months after launch yeah so I tried this out I made a version of the gunhand video

I posted to my ex and maybe my Instagram account I should have brought that up but regardless it's a guy I think it's shut down now right you can't it's over I have it somewhere

I'll bring it up open eye is playing the pull the plug on store of video platform a product that released a great fanfare last year that has since fallen from public view. The move is one of a number of steps. Open Eye is taking to refocus on business encoding functions and have a potential IPO offering as soon as the fourth quarter.

That seems quick. I mean, I don't know much about the IPO. Sam Altman announced a change of staff on Tuesday, writing the company would wind down products that use its video models in addition to the consumer app. Open Eye has also discontinued a version of sort. for developers and won't support video functionality inside JatsGBT or either. I did see some people utilize this to make actual cartoons.

I don't know. I mean, I've considered using, it's different. Look, it's not that you can't make anything good. It's just the animation won't be the good thing, at least for now. He used the thing. People keep going, yeah, but just wait, just hold off. Just wait till it's, just wait until it's fucking beautiful. It's fucking perfect.

You can make any. And it's true. These things are improving rapidly. There's a famous Will Smith eating spaghetti thing. It is improving rapidly. But you seem to fail to realize much like the other thing with the teacher robot. That once is that good, what are we doing? Hollywood shut down, like, product.

It's like down by 50% already. I don't even know. And that's not even the AI, probably. that's not like, I don't think it's because, but they are filling their coffers. That's the wrong word, but I can't think of the right word. But they're, they're arming themselves

with digital assets, digital AI technology that will replace writers and probably like the whole production lines. They will at some point, most likely, be able to just replace the whole thing. But then who's gonna, who's gonna be afford to watch any of this? Well, you can't do it's because of China.

all right i mean if we can go to war to preserve like what what are we even preserving with the iran thing it's not preserving the petro dollar it's not preserving uh really if anything it's severely compromising the global uh

technology whatever transfer that we have going on apparently china is doing their own breton woods basically as we speak just, you know, recreating the world the world currency.

I've talked about what Bretton Woods is recently. Bretton Woods, the world financial system. China's recreating it. We're giving them an in. So maybe, I don't know,

maybe we could just have sabotaged AI at some point. Maybe we could have made it like, you know, because we could, if we really wanted to, we could have bought up these AI companies by force,

put viruses in them, use the NSA, you know, play dirty warfare, tricks back in the 90s and the 2000s not let Silicon Valley get its friggin's never make the cell phone you know did they get did they give Steve Jobs cancer whoever's in charge maybe because they didn't want a guy a wild card making new shit like we'll take you from here Steve because we don't get new cool

shit that much right oh the new here's a new camera it's got a gimbal it ain't the same as an iPhone this is not that much cool I mean yeah the way they're making computers better. It's all incremental. It's all just fucking scale. Anyway, open eyes eyes in the middle of a strategy shift to redirect the company's computing resources and top talent towards so-called productivity tools that can be used by both enterprises and individual users. What, like this is going to jerk people off? There's nothing to do. No one's got a job. Last week, OpenAIA announced it was combing its, combining its chat TVT desktop app, coding tools.

Google Codex and browser into one super app that can fuck me. The company expects a consolidated product to aligns employees around a single vision. Open AI launched Sorrow last September. I mean, I should get an AI to read this for me. So I'm not reading like out of Brett Marine. I saw Marine on the corner of the page and I decided to liking myself to a Marine. Shortly after the launch, Altman encouraged users to find different ways to splice him into. Oh, right.

yeah, everyone just started making it's all these people don't have any why would Sam Auburn would care want people to Photoshop him into the thing he didn't care shame but here's the thing about Disney so in December

Disney said it would invest a billion dollars in the open AI as far as the deal open the idea was set the license more than 200 characters from Disney allowing users I think what happened here is that Disney might have like because basically Disney had a deal with them and people were using it to like do shit with the Disney characters.

I don't know. I don't type into Google, hey, like give me Cinderella doing X, Y, and Z. I don't know how old Cinderella is. I don't want to know. I don't get involved. Glass slippers ain't my fucking business. But people are doing weird shit. If he asked me, that's fucking creepy.

Yes, sir, you know, hey, like you think it's okay for people to be doing Disney characters? No. Look at them. I don't know. But my point is people are doing it probably. Disney's like, this is probably bad for business. Let's just, yeah, we, they invest, they invest into Open AI as kind of like, buy them off or something. Look, I mean, none of this makes a ton of sense.

They're all sharing the same $20 trillion. It doesn't really, I don't know how any of this works. But, you know, good for all of them. I love for AI to be able to kind of just, you know, it can't even make you eggs yet. You remember like Back to the Future, like, you know, Doc Brown, it's putting dog food into the freaking thing. It's making eggs.

You know, it's waking you up. My alarm clock can't, you know, there's no, there's no AI. Why can't they figure that out? Why can they add something that goes, hey, motherfucker, here's how much you owe. Incorporate that with an alarm clock. That would be a nice alarm clock, wouldn't it?

That might have some fucking staying power. It's like, hey, an alarm clock that wakes you up and goes, this is what you owe, this is what we're taking out of your fat high today. You better get work and we're going to cook you for dinner. We're going to cut a piece of fat out of your back. Useful things for America. I should get sponsored by these people. You know, I've heard, I was drinking the sugar-free Red Bull.

and people were saying whatever comment but like I throw people on Twitter you know I'm like I don't I want to recreate the Red Bull thing because nothing else gives me

that clean feeling and I'm like what do you mean clean feeling and people were commenting that they basically sugar-free Red Bull sucks that gives you it's bad for your gut

makes you feel terrible gives you jewelry and I'm finding that maybe the whole time you know the regular Red Bulls I was about to say the regular Redmond is the way to go. That's a loaded statement. Don't get me wrong. Don't get it twisted.

But I do feel clearer. I do feel like it's better than the sugar-free. I don't want to put in the sugar-free. I'm not I wish you everything. I wish you could get you can get the great taste and smooth feeling with half the calories or whatever the fuck. But you know, for now, I'm trying this out. It does seem like maybe I got duped.

A little bit of sugar is actually better for the, the old, um, the old sawmill. That's what I can say. I consider myself like a craps with the old sawmill. Um, moving on. We got, we got in the suck. This is, where's that story here? Hold on one second. Meta.

Oh, right. This is, um, here. Bring this up. we have the video it's from last week I'll here and cover it they released this is their the DLS the DLS 5 I believe it was called this is their new chip that's gonna replace you can see that it's giving it every all these images people are on an uproar about this it's making all the images improved quote now a lot of people say it's not that's slop and I would say this if you're watching these these these clips

um we can go back because it's just the same you know A and B roles it doesn't these games don't seem like they're really like you look at this frame here it's not the you know it's cool it did a lot going on the image there's definitely some you know character designs some art design I'm not shitting guys right resident evil Resident Evil Requiem which I haven't played but you know her face it's a it's not like it's some like particularly interesting thing like could we look at A and B what you know what the filter that replaces it it gives it like is a pretty a relatively realistic pana panir pinini a realistic panini no what's the word uh veneer on it

um you can call it as a i i i think in general i think it's a lot of cases where it would be i am sympathetic to go well it does kind of look sharp because the old image wasn't particularly, it kind of looks whatever. It's already kind of sloppy to me, but it's all, I haven't seen a particularly interesting looking game in a while. I like Hollow Night,

which I played recently. That was fun. That's what like seven years ago or something. The new ones out, Silk Soxon. But yeah, people are very mad, but they're also mad that you can,

in order to run these things, you need like two 50, and 100 cards, which are like, what, dollar rig something like that on your PC in order to run a game like this the quote unquote slop and as I'm looking at I kind of see the slopp is you know I kind of get it it's like an Instagram filter sort of it's impressive and it's not you know it uh it robs

a soul out of something it didn't really seem to have that much soul to begin with but yeah someone made it like look you you you have you can't deny that has certain characteristics that are so pleasing is you know look like this in the game that's you know But this is what people have been arguing about for a while. This is now it's Hogwarts Legacy, new Harry Potter, whatever the fuck. People are all for about this. Here's the thing. We're going to be living on the ground in a cave soon, and you're going to need this technology.

Now, it's not going to be, you're basically going to be a lump of, like, fucking, I should have to curse when I say it. But of, like, you know, misshapen flesh. if you're lucky. You're gonna mean a fallout shelter and you're gonna wish that you were able to have this slop. I mean, look, this is from Starfield, which I don't think people will love Starfield, right? It's like it's the game from the people

who made fallout and I'm blanking on their name, but you know, they're big, Bethesda, right? And this person doesn't look particularly great. And then you look at it, go, is this great either? This is with the filter? Is this an amazing image? No, but I mean, the last image is kind of creepy looking.

So whatever, you know, this is another Starfield one. You're going to have sores on you. Everyone, I mean, the hot girls are going to have open sores in their face. You know, puddles in their, in their neck. I remember there was a joke someone used to tell when it was a kid where it was like, I don't want to do like, you know, street jokes here or whatever, but it was something to the effect of, you know, the guys at a restaurant and his guy comes in and he's all, you know, he's a, he's a leper.

He was out, he was a leper in the fields. for uh you know caught out in the desert for months or whatever they finally find them they bring them home and they go oh it's so you know and you can sit down in the restaurant and there's and he goes i'd love i have money i'm so hungry please i'm sorry and goes uh they seat him down i'm this is the worst version of a story by the way this joke does not this i just just this joke up excuse me but whatever they sit the leopard down next to a guy and um you know you You know, the guy, the few minutes go by and the guy vomits. And the guy turns around and goes, the leper turns around and goes, I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't even be here. I'm a leper. My skin's falling off. It's goo. It's gooey. You're like, hey, hey, no, no, it's not you. Don't worry about it. And then turn out, eat your food.

Eat your rat food, whatever. So they go, I've eaten. And the guy throws up again a few minutes later turns around. I'm so sorry. No, don't even bring it up. It's not about you. Don't even think of it. a few minutes later goes by

and the guy, you know, turns around and he always throws up again, predictably. That's how these jokes go, right? And he goes, you know, the guy turns around, goes, I'm so sorry, hey, shut your mouth is not you. You're not the problem. It's the guy next to you dipping his bread into your neck.

Which I thought was a fun joke, right? You know, my uncle told me when I was a kid. But that's going to be what it's like in the shelter, is my point. and you're going to want to have this DLSS-5 in order to be able to get it on to get your gear on, you know? You're not going to want to hump, you know,

your girlfriend when she's, you know, she's going to smell bad, and I'm not sure if we can fix the smell, but at least they can make it look like a Sidney-Sweeney type, perhaps. There were a Parker Posey even, you know, you know, what year is Parker Posey? In days are confused, or Parker Posey and the White Lotus, you know, the wide, I'm not sure,

but right now, the alternative is a, it's a mound of flesh with holes in it. You know, that's sentient, don't get me wrong. You know, you're also a mound of flesh with holes in it. And, like, maybe a couple appendages that drag on the floor, and you have to rub your bits together. We're not fixing that, right? And I don't know if that effect, you know,

I guess that comes, that, This comes down to a Joe I'd love to be on the Joe Rogan experience, but not for, look, I don't need to be, I'm doing fine, let's not kid ourselves, but I'd love to have this discussion with Mr. Joe Rogan. By the way, I'm not doing fine. I'd love to have Joe, but whatever.

But no disrespect, Mr. Rogan, please don't send assassins after me. But I'd love to discuss with Joe, this idea, I feel like he would also have some interesting things to say about the epigenetics. I've heard back people people talk about epigenetics on his show. You know, it's one, you know,

because there's this idea that, like, you know, I'm a gooey mess because I was exposed to radiation, but is my, is my sperm okay? Can I make a regular baby? If not, maybe it won't be worth it that DLSS-5. I'll have to talk to Justin Yuan or whatever at the video about this. It may not be worth the investment. But perhaps it could be useful because you can see this picture before and after, right? I'm not making this up.

you know, every detail matters. If you want to be able to hump in the future, you might need a little, uh, a little, a little help in the video, a little enhancement, a little bit increased resolution. Um, you put these VR,

I mean, maybe this is what they, they took from Zuckerberg aside that, hey, you have these headsets, right? And you put, you believe, you let everyone play, play, I mean, they had like a, like a metaverse, comedy club in one of these things I saw. I never went. I'm saying people are wasting their

times. We can use this technology to let, you know, severely malformed elites hump each other in the fallout shelters of the future in the coming days. Now, is this because the AI turns against us? It's just because, you know, we turn against ourselves. A little bit of both, all right? A little bit of, you know, mixing and mash in a little bit. Option A and option B. Don't get me started. But, you know, it could be a lot of fun. You can, you could, and look, maybe you'll be able to, like, look, as long as they're adults, maybe you can have a cartoon game. Yeah, I don't think Disney wants to get involved.

Maybe you can, maybe you can make your wife whose amount of flesh in the, you know, a radioactive flesh look like Lois from Family Guy, if that's your thing. Or even the dog from Family Guy, I don't know. But keep it about, I mean, I'd like to, I'd like to keep it, you know, because. not being a thing the dog shouldn't be in play I I know I'm if I'm the mayor of this particular fallout shelter I'm gonna I'm gonna outrule you know not gonna allow that that they come to me they go look the people don't want to do it unless they can be Brian the dog from family guy at a certain point you're showing me numbers they're saying like you know the human race is not reproducing I'm going like ah you know uh caveat them toward that's not the right way what's the

what's the thing you say? Carbet, that Carbe DM. What's the one about the free market? I forget. Lazy fare. Maybe I, maybe like, I'll just pilot, I fucking, I throw my hands in the air and I say,

Lase fair. If they want to, fuck, I mean, not in real life. You can't, I'm not going to, you know, because that doesn't do anything. There's no argument to be made for that in the real world. But, I mean, it is a slow. slope. I feel like we don't need. Just pretend your wife is low as some family guy. It's not enough. It's not I mean, how much do you need? You know, like once more into the breach good man,

whether that's Shakespeare. Isn't that Richard the third? It's a far, far, far better thing I do. Something like that. What is this? FIFA? They're showing us a FIFA before and after. I mean, look, are these even actual games? One of them does look like a real person. this is FIFA it's crazy absolutely crazy look at this I don't think the FIFA before was that good

I get you don't want this to be Mario brothers but it can say you know again it's not gonna make the lump of flesh into into Chrissy Turlington I forget who that is even movies of a certain age will bring up Chrissy Turlington

I think I think rounders deterra bird up I want to blow it up from Chrissy Tarlington or something right I don't I'm not sure I forget which woman that was in the 80s. But, you know, her name sounds good in the script. Regardless. Caviata, M. Tor. I'll just say that.

Caviata, M. Tor, for the future. It's a wild, wild time. We're all, no one's getting younger. They're all actually getting, and no one's getting better looking. We're all starting to, you know, bear the brunt of this. We're all starting to, I mean, look, here's the thing. People, I don't know if it's the,

if it's the SSRIs. I don't know if it's the, just the rampant depression. I don't know if it's like the strange, just like, you know, on the Wii that this digital age is brought upon us.

But no one seems satisfied with their image. People get in the lips filled, people are getting their bucle fat removed, people are doing a lot of work and it doesn't look particularly good. It actually looks pretty bad. Right?

It looks terrible. If nothing else, we can kind of remove that from the equation. Remove the subjective inner voice. If we can just get, I mean, who's still good? Ryan Gosling. You know, by the way, I did, I, we talking about Project Hell Mary last week. I saw it. I thought it was great.

People are like on X.com is very, you know, the old Twitter, people are very negative. And I get, I'm not like, I don't need the whole, is it woke thing? It's annoying and dumb. I know what you're saying. I don't know how that movie could be. It's just a movie about science. I don't, I mean, it's the core thing that's great about it. It's the alien kid.

I mean, I don't want to spoil it, but the character's designed in the alien. I liked it a lot. I guess you could be cynical. I don't, the way it moves. I don't want to spoil it. But, you know, shout out in the comments, if you want. It should bring us up earlier to engage people, right?

But, like, you know, it's a lot of fun this movie. I don't know, regardless. How many times I said regardless this episode? Uh, what was my point though? I like the project. I like the movie, but Ryan God, Ryan God looks good in this, though. He's a good looking guy.

Are we going to let this guy destroy himself? Are we going to let this guy? We don't have that many actors left who are, you, you know, I'm not trying to smooch with the guy. I'm not attracted. I'm just saying, like, but he's like, he's made, he's got charisma. He's not, you know, he's not, you know, he's not,

Look, he's not Bruce Willis and die hard. I get it. But, you know, he's done some fun movies. He was good and drive. You know, he could be, he could play a sociopath. He doesn't tend to do it very often. But he's good, but he was good when he did it. I'm sure a lot of people hate him.

I don't, I'm not sitting here trying to, you know, glaze the kid. Or wherever he is, 50-year-old man, whatever the hell he is. The point is, are we going to let this guy, like, also, I mean, not him. But, like, we need to have these. people as the versions they're not because they're better but just because they're there you need to have attractive people who are charming being in a movie you go to it's just there and what positive things is done good point it's brought us where we are now maybe that's part of the problem but I guess the alternative

was like just being in the field and pretend to be Amish it's better than staring at like these weird like most of these people we see in these shows nowadays who have bad skin all the time and rosacea and they and they're aggressive and they sound weird you need charming people to sell you things you know a salesman's job isn't necessarily to trick you into buying something it's to make you feel good about doing it what you were going to do anyway you know you want the camera you want the car maybe maybe maybe you need the car you're buying it herself that's not a current model whatever a Prius

you know a Toyota Corolla no one's getting laid because they have a Toyota Corolla probably unless you know in the room for a blind man the guy of the Corolla can run them all over whatever the point is you know like you go to the guy

and a good salesman in the context of a Corolla makes you feel good about buying that carola you're doing the right thing you're not hurting yourself not hurting your kids you need to do look there's not you're not a coward for buying this no yeah like could you be happier no you need someone to tell you that the options you that are upon you are actually not that bad even when they are i like and in that context you need like it's trickle down there's

the ryan gods because of the world teach the fucking you know the the salesman kind of mold themselves after the stars of the age or they should. Now we have a weird dystopian crypto bro like you know shit fetish fucking like old West kind of thing going on where no one's really selling anything the age of sales is kind of over

you don't got to be a good salesman when some Chinese billionaire is going to be around the corner with a cash offer for 20,000 more there's only there's only so many beanie babies available or McMansions or cars designed by Tesla

you know we're in the age of scarcity and so sales isn't really that important I guess but it helps just keep society together you need you need to sell people on themselves you need to sell society you know what they didn't sell was this war this war I've said I made this point a few times

reason they didn't bother to sell us the war. When the Iraq world came around, they were babbling about yellow cake uranium and these, you know, mobile labs, these mobile chemical labs,

chemical Ali, the Iraqi genius. You know, Saddam Hussein was going to give it to al-Qaeda, hot potato, hot potato, 9-11. I mean, if you think, whether you think that happened

organically or not. for about a rare word. Whether you think the powers that be, let's just say that did it, or they just never let a good crisis go to waste. Either way, they used it. What is the thing here? There is no sales here.

People like to feel, even if it's out of their hands, like they got sold. You know, there is no dignity. I guess it's no dignity either way, but there's no pretend dignity. and not even being sold a bill of goods. At least when someone sells you a bill of goods,

they have the decency to sell you. We're living in an age now. We didn't even buy, you're not even worth selling a bill of goods to. Shut the fuck. Wait, you're a serf. You're just a nobody. That's in there our brains.

Bring back salesman. That's what every job should be now. It should just be selling you on reality. And maybe that's my job. Give me money to do it. I'm talking above you, not above, below you people, if you know what I mean, the depths of hell. The powers that be. You know, do I, I'm not, I'm not asking, like, propaganda as people.

But, you know, it's like, I'm keeping, I'm part of the tapestry to keep people together. This is what everyone's going to be doing. Think, oh, that's useless. This is useless thing. I mean, right now, I'm just telling you the truth. I could be telling you how to fucking, you know, purify the water with a tablet. We gave you the tab. This episode could have started

We gave you people the tablets Now we didn't give you the people the tablet Some of the people got the tablets There weren't enough to go around But I come on and I started going We gave you people the purification tablets You decided not to use them Is that make us evil?

Does that mean we wanted you to die? No, in reality they did want you to die They knew they could have made more But you know it doesn't people It's just about what you What's the point? You have everything the elite, the rich, the billionaires, right?

You have everything. It's like, it's like when you go out to dinner, are you negotiating over the cost of the bread or the cost of the appetizer? In front of some girl, you're trying to bone? You're trying to fucking put your meat inside some woman. Consensually, I hope. Right?

You try to meet, you're trying to meet, meet, meat, you're trying to meat parader. That word? My point is you're trying to wind you're and diner. This is why I'm not great car salesman. I have too many words, extra words in there. You're trying to wind and dine this woman.

And you're complaining about the bill. Doesn't look great, right? No one, you wouldn't do that. You wouldn't even look at the bill. In the same way, stop nickel and dimeing the people you're eliminating. Let them have a little dignity in their way out. Pretend like you care. Pretend like you're consulting the people.

Oh, you guys. We sent you the memo. Well, yes, yes, I ran. Don't you remember when, oh, who died? The guy from Top Gun died this week. Top Gun, what's his name? I actually have it here. I have it.

I did have it. Actor James Tolkien from Top Gun. This guy here. This guy, James Toll. Your body is writing checks. Your boss writing checks. Your body can't cash. If I'm in charge, you know,

I'm saying, Iran did that. By the way, that was Iran. That was revenge. They did that. They got them and sad. And that's why we fight. Because the guy who was the principal in Back to the Future, remember I brought Back to the Future before?

Completely separate issue, separate reason about Doc Brown. That's how ubiquitous Back to the Future is. And this guy was a crucial part of it. This guy was a key member. the back to the future cast and they killed them they got them oh i read oh i can't believe you did it can't believe you did it i ran makes me so mad you know they don't even try though they don't bother they don't play it no i play it you saw the guy hell of an actor pop gun

Maverick Oh, you mad. I remember the guy who won the Fire Maverick. Now, you know, they just don't want to sell you on anything. No one wants to make you feel good about what you bought. You bought America.

And everyone's sitting there going, why'd you buy this turd? It's not a way to run a country. There's no way to run a nation. Oh, my cat will be fine, I hope. I love you, Dana. And we love you, James, Tocan, actor James Tolkien of Top Gun, Back to the Future,

dies in 94. It's a good age. You shouldn't complain. I mentioned that in the Patreon. I'm going to double the... Before we go, yeah, I'll say, if you like the show, patreon.com slash Raycom, you get an extra episode every week. Five bucks a month, not a bad deal. Enjoy yourselves out there. Stay safe.

Stay safe.
