Not just the digital currencies that are being set there, not just the graft and corruption of the Trump family, of his cabinet that is there, and the rest of it.
But take a look at this.
Apple is quietly working on an AI agent to replicate a human doctor.
And of course, they're also working on incorporating this into their health app as well.
I wonder if they're going to call this agent, Agent Smith.
But again, the AI agents, as I was talking about this the other day, that's where there's going to be a lot of change.
You're going to hear that a great deal.
AI agents have a lot of autonomy.
You can give them a task and they can go out and do it.
And if you combine AI with robotics, that is going to be incredibly powerful thing.
And those two technologies are converging very quickly.
It's one of the reasons why the NVIDIA CEO is saying that you're going to have All these robots walking the street because they will have more intelligence and more autonomy and independence than the chat bots do.
But going back to Apple's secret health program here, they said the idea is to have a revamped health app that will collect all sorts of health metrics.
And it'll have major emphasis on tracking food.
Now, we've seen that from all these different health apps.
You know, we've had phone apps like that and watch apps like that that have been there for a long time.
But the key thing about this is going to be just how much more information it gets from you.
And so, you know, a lot of people say, well, you know, the problem with using this for health is that it hallucinates and all the rest of the stuff.
But that's not really the issue.
And when we look at how all these different things are coming together, you've got the, as I said before, the executive for Figure talking about how These AI robots, driven by AI agents, are about to hit us in a massive way.
The way he described it, he said 2025 is going to be the iPhone moment for humanoid robots.
Great. Great.
A multi-trillion dollar market for humanoid robots.
Robots to cook your meals, clean your house, do your laundry, tutor your kids, drive your car, cut your grass, take care of your elderly parents, repair the plumbing.
It'll help you across the street.
And they'll shoot you in the head if they tell it to, right?
I mean, seriously, when we look at all this stuff, I've made that comment about all these DARPA projects for the longest time.
It's like, oh, look, it's just here to help veterans who have PTSD, or it's here to help a little old lady cross the street, or we're going to put a chip in your brain so that you can see again, or we're going to repair the paralysis or whatever.
And then what?
Then what are these people going to do with it?
That's the question.
So Adcock, who is the founder of Figure, That's that robotic company that, you know, it's very impressive, but talks with a California dude accent.
So there is an iPhone moment happening with humanoids right now.
He said his robots are already working on the production line and BMW's Spartanburg factory.
He said to succeed at this, you have to do three things that have never been done before.
And you have to get all three of them right within the next five years, or you are going to fail.
In the robotics industry.
So they got a window, and actually, like I said before, the NVIDIA CEO said, before five years is up, streets are gonna be filled with robots.
And so he said, here's the three things that you're gonna do.
First thing, you gotta build hardware for humanoids that's incredibly complex that can never fail.
Oh, that's good.
I've seen a lot of technology that can never fail.
Haven't you, Travis?
I've never seen any technology that doesn't fail.
It's all fallible.
Because it's made by fallible people.
Okay. So I think we just, maybe that's good news.
Maybe if these things do fail, maybe they will have kind of a segue moment, you know, when, like when George Bush fell off the segue, everybody's like, I don't know.
Uh, well, we'll see.
It can never fail.
And it's got to work at human speeds with human range of motion.
The second thing you have is a neural net problem, not a control systems problem.
You can't code your way out of this problem.
You need to have a robot that can ingest human-like data through a neural net and has to be able to imitate what humans do.
You know these health watches and other things like that's gonna be a big help, right?
Because what Apple is talking about in their new app is having its AI monitoring What you're doing and watching everything, everything these people are about.
This is one of the things that is so creepy about it.
Not only are they hell-bent on complete totalitarian control of us in our society, not only do they want to own everything, but they're also kind of disgusting voyeurs, you know, who want to just watch everything they were doing just to learn from us.
Isn't that creepy?
So he said, so you need to have a robot They can ingest human-like data through a neural net and has the ability to imitate what humans do.
Humanoid robots are not like arms bolted to a factory table.
None of those robots have AI.
And then finally the third problem.
Third problem is that you have to generalize.
He says, this is the holy grail of robotics.
To have a robot look at something it's never seen before or heard through speech and to be able to tell a robot how to do it And then to have it be able to complete that task end-to-end with one neural net.
And that's kind of what they demonstrated when they gave those robots a task and put a bunch of stuff in them they hadn't identified before and have to figure out what they do with it.
He said, if you can solve those three things, then you're in the right decade.
And you're at the iPhone moment.
And we can confidently say that we have solved or are making major progress on all three problems.
In other words, when he talks about an iPhone moment, he's talking about this technology being ubiquitous everywhere we see it.
He says if we had 100,000 robots a day that all worked, our two commercial customers would take them all.
But he said we're not able to do that because we haven't scaled up the supply chain yet, and it's still early.
He said we could sign on 50 Fortune 100 companies by the weekend, We are bombarded by demand.
Listen to what he had to say.
Okay, so they got demand for robots.
Why? Because he said the supply of humans is going down.
They designed that as well, folks.
Everything they did was a design for that.
Socially, they've conditioned us to not want families and children.
Physically, they have harmed our bodies with the drugs and the Hello, we could ship 1 million robots this month if they were all ready to go and this is why i say they don't need immigrants except for the divide and conquer aspect of it it's the only reason they it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
But he told me to get lost.
Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the davidknightshow.com.
And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025.
At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred.
Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
