Uber for Ubermenschen | Chapo Trap House | Episode 42 FULL

Hello, I'm Chapo Cab. We're taking you to the future in a very special tech show! First, Noah Kulwin (@nkulw) explains the rise and fall of Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes and how to make a living camming in your part-time Uber gig. Next, Ed Zitron (@EdZitron) joins us for a reading series, translating the Daily Beast's insane article urging the formation of a Silicon Valley paramilitary cell to wipe out democracy.
We also debut the trailer for a new and exciting project of Chapo Motion Pictures, "Killer App."

That Black Rifle intro gave me leukemia...

Hamlet's dad died when Uncle Claudius poured the poison into his ears while he was sleeping. Hamlet's MOM could have really used SmartCup™ though.

21:00 For a splendid version of this skit, I recommend, well. Everything PhilosophyTube has ever done. But especially his recent video on the video games industry. "Empyre... shake hands with the future." As the black-turtlenecked executive reaches out a hand absolutely coated in blood.

Daddy Olly still killin it

[@dirkmaes3786]

One of my ex-employers wore a black turtleneck to the office for exactly one day. Several people working there hated him already so much that they either didn't care if they got fired or actively trying to encourage it; so when that delusional fuck went to work as Steve Jobs cosplay we tore his ego apart like hungry hyena's.

Elizabeth Holmes is an android commissioned by Peter Thiel to find and collect rare blood. “Elizabeth!!” “Yes. Father.” “I require the blood of an albino Sudanese boy!” “Of course. Father.” “Such a lifelike voice, Elizabeth. And cheeks the same pink as inuit menstruation onto fresh snow.” Edit: I swear I can spell

[@maiidegeese5052]

Anyone remember Google Glass or the Hyper-Loop? These techies hype this shit up but the reality is always different.

[@a.p.2356]

I mean, at least those things are physically possible. Google Glass even came out... it's just that everyone hated them.

[@vienlacrose]

Almost as if existing infrastructure can do a better job of fulfilling the niches of any hairbrained FM solution these tech-bros come up with?! #Justbuildafuckingtrain

[@alfiewillis4893]

Hot take: Elizabeth Holmes sounds exactly like Katherine Kreuger.

[@airmark02]

😋🤣😆 ..... Elizabeth Holmes was born in Washington, D.C. Holmes's father, Christian Rasmus Holmes IV, was a *vice president at Enron*, followed by executive positions in government agencies such as USAID, the EPA, and USTDA. Her mother, Noel Anne Daoust, worked as a Congressional committee staffer.

[@em.415]

airmark02 Wow Enron? I guess corporate corruption runs in the family.

I expect to see the trailer for "Killer App" during the Super Bowl.

"Communist states of America with Hitlary" LMAO

Thanks for the Daily Beast article! Using it as a test data set I was able to identify several integer overflows in my buzzword bingo implementation...

Checking in from Aug 2023 - Apple and Microsoft currently worth more than Saudi Aramco.

[@blairza]

I love these guys but clearly they don't know shit about Sequoias.

[@alistairpage-mcgill2723]

yeah I didn't know what was going on there either

[@SendyTheEndless]

I like how redundant "Iterate, iterate, iterate" is.

[@barkwhoop8052]

Surfing On Squarewaves if only there were a word for “iterate again” 🤔🤔🤔

[@Jasonblade9012]

And they are back at it with wework... and you got it from me, one more will come as a scam but it is not an American company, it is called OYO.

[@calessel3139]

I got news for this guy, electric cars are only cheap up until you start replacing batteries, then they get VERY expensive (like 6,000 to 15,000 dollars) and yeah, they should last 200,000 miles but if your car is driving around 24/7, even at city speeds, you're going to hit that 200k mark in about 8 months or less.

[@topleybird2443]

Just the idea too of insuring and financing this massive, gigantic fleet of cars that are constantly working was lunacy then.

[@teddybetts3254]

53:01 OK, so this is how works: Step 1: Collect underpants. Step 2: ? Step 3: Profit.

Instructions unclear; hypnotized my dad into a shitty d-list superhero.

If they would just snort a quarter gram of methamphetamine, the entire political disruption app would make perfect sense.

[@dogchaser520]

That is a LOT of meth

[@magkai6]

your guests self driving uber car didn't age well lol .

[@LeoSkyro]

6:53 is that a proto-JBP I'm hearing from Felix?

[@d.m.collins1501]

Elizabeth Holmes totally adopted a lower-pitched voice than what she was born with--and I don't think we can blame her or should be calling her out for it. Lots of folks I know changed voices when they came out as gay later in life, or when they were transitioning, or for many personal and cultural reasons. Who can blame women in tech, for example, for consciously or subconsciously adopting mannerisms associated with maleness, traits which have value in the still hyper-bro culture of the tech world, where you can still literally lose out on chances for advancement because you can't swap stories about playing first-person shooter games with your coworkers?

[@adeer87]

D. M. Collins That escalated quickly

[@grenouillesscent]

Your two consecutive comments are the funniest ones I possibly ever read on KZbin, well done!

Honestly, the last words of Dutch Schultz is more entertaining than this, especially as performed by William S. Burroughs.

Holy fuck....hearing felix talk about playing the 🎻....i literally nearly crapped my pants

4:23 "Use codename 'Vile Rat' to get 20% off..." that was the name of a guy who played Eve Online, he died in Benghazi and for a long time after that his friends named in-game stations and bases after him. Just a little factoid there. PS You people say 'like' way too much.

[@granudisimo]

Like, they say it like, an average of like, three times per like, sentence?

[@dogeyes7261]

He was also a poster and moderator on something awful where to took this naive pro-MIC stance on everything and banned people iirc for criticizing the f22 program
