I fucking love these conversations. Please keep this going.

[@TheDiverBob]

Maybe it is my Gen X showing, but I am growing increasingly tired of hearing the argument that society needs to cater to people. When the Silent Generation was uncomfortable, they moved and tried something new. Boomers fought at home for rights and migrated to places more to their liking. I picked up sticks and moved abroad to better myself and came back. You make society, society does not make you. That go make a change is somehow being lost, and only those with the ability to do so will carry forward. We have 20 somethings shaking their bits online for five figures a month… young adults traveling and making a living by being on perpetual vacation. There are massive amounts of opportunity out there today… you have to just get at it.

To pull the curtain back even further. What becomes of the justice system in an AI world? Policing? Judging? Incarceration? Additionally, AI generated “truth”. How many humans will surrender to the deification of AI?

[@alpheusOne]

I think there is a very clear difference in building ai for profit vs for our benefit. Great convo!

[@redstarmn9308]

I am actively at work.. watching this.🙂

[@auricmerciless7307]

Colossus : The Forbin Project - you guys HAVE to watch it :)

Do you want Skynet? Because this is how we get Skynet.

[@RoarkLaughed]

I love creature comforts, I think they are a net positive. I'm also the guy who runs 6-10 miles a day because it sucks. Not because I enjoy it, but because it fucking sucks. I work in cybersecurity, I don't scratch my living from the dirt. I do live WAY out in the country, though. I do hunt for a lot my food and have a large garden. I have faith in humanity. I was a pariah 15-20 years ago for being an anarchist. Today, people ask questions and often agree. I think that tech has gotten us here, I think that without tech, we end up with countries like North Korea or Turkmenistan. Love you both by the way. Keep up the great conversations.

Philosophical stuff like this is my area of expertise. I wish I could have been there.

[@bananedc1]

I'll be honest, this episode felt like you were locked into various iterations of the same argument for an hour

[@hunter88J]

Andrew tried to move the subject on but Rex kept pointing out the same thing over and over

[@hunter88J]

People said the same thing about the internet. Same agreement's and disagreements

[@JuggaloJohn]

comment for the algo

[@ahickey]

Any chance to get Heaton to verify his point of view on all of these videos sober? I would like to know if it is the alcohol having him speak so obtusely or is it just him?

[@RoarkLaughed]

I like the obtuse, give me all the obtuse, haha. This is one of those places where I think they actually believe what they say. You may not agree, and often I don't either...but you are hearing what they actually think. I think these kinds of conversations are important.

[@aceundead4750]

It's just him. Iv listened to him on podcasts about politics that have as casual a format as this show, and he's this casual with his manner of speech.

[@ahickey]

@@aceundead4750 Good to know, thank you for the insight.

[@ahickey]

@@RoarkLaughed I do not doubt that they believe what they say, but that was not the question. Another viewer replied that his view is consistent whether drinking or not ( which went towards answering my question ). I would say " important " is a bit strong of a word to characterize these conversations, but I do appreciate listening to them to glean a better understanding of the two speaking.

[@childofbodom151]

But humans are nothing but, "Codes and collected experiences and algorithm(s)." To think we are anything more is a delusion of grandeur

[@BenSmith-qq7re]

Iv never heard anyone talk about that Amish community that wasn’t right hear. Great little place. Amazing pies. 😂

[@hunter88J]

Rex my guy. Let Andrew speak lol. You kept forcing the same point in him. He was trying to counter but your kept changing the subject to the same point
