- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- Here's something that's interesting.
I really think, within our lifetimes,
if it hasn't happened already,
governments are gonna start using AI
to do low-level legislation.
And now I'm just like,
I'm summarizing in a very optimistic way.
- We've been talking about this a lot, actually.
- Oh, okay, okay, good.
So I got a friend of mine, Dr. Alan D. Thompson.
If you don't know about him, check him out.
He's an AI expert, researcher.
He's an explainer.
He has a thing called the memo that comes out,
I think like every two weeks, something like that.
But it gives you this really holistic
state of the union of AI.
And he's hyper-optimistic and calls it human evolution,
which I believe in that as well.
If it's used well, you get rid of the emotional factor
and you just have something that's looking to solve problems.
- Yeah.
- And so I think it can at least give you five solutions
that are not emotionally based,
that are just addressed,
that are supposed to kind of maximize
the positive probable outcome.
And I think we may see a human AI synergistic,
at least low-level government implementation.
Probably some country that's like can do that
and not feel like they're bending the farm on it.
- And if it goes well, then other people will implement it.
- Exactly.
- Yeah, I think so.
We were talking about a AI president.
- Yeah.
- That you need a president that is immune to bias,
corruption, influence, and someone who just looks at things
rationally and in an intelligent way that spans all the disciplines.
Right?
Like how could any president really be an expert in foreign policy,
the environment, economics, social justice, infrastructure, immigration?
It's not possible.
How could one person really know the correct solutions to all those issues?
Even if you're briefed, look, I can't imagine.
All I do is run a podcast and do comedy and occasionally commentate on fights.
And all those three things take up so much of my fucking time.
My whole day today has been having conversations with people about replacement
opponents
because there's a UFC coming out in two weeks.
- Oh wow.
- So I've been having all these conversations with experts and people that I
know
and commentators of who can fit this spot and who's ready and who's in shape
and who's turned the fight down and how could anybody?
That's not, that's so minor.
That's my, my, my role is so small.
I have so little to do and yet it's, it takes up so much of my time.
How could anyone manage all of those things?
They can't, but AI could.
- Yeah.
- And AI doesn't have a son that gets money from Burisma.
- I know.
I know.
It's like the thing about that.
I know.
Well, it's like, I mean, if you look at like, there's, it's really hard.
I had, I had a term, I don't know if it exists, but I call it corporate, corporates.
And most people in government essentially are corporates in, in the sense
that the things that when I see people like vetoing things or not getting on
board with
certain things and you're like, well, that seems like that would be helpful,
but you're
choosing not to do it.
It's like the influence of corporations on even well-intentioned, you know,
people that
go into government, they're like, I want to make a difference.
I want to make a change.
It just gets in there.
- You got to play ball.
- It's so baked.
It's baked in there.
And so I don't know how you're going to, you're going to overcome that.
The only thing I can think of is like, because my thing is like, I'm not really
political
in the sense that I don't have a party.
I'm pretty independent.
I'm just like, I want to choose people that are, that are humble enough.
They have enough humility to work with anybody that's, that wants to solve a
problem that
they're, that they're wanting to solve and to solve and to create solutions for
the most
amount of people possible.
That's kind of, that's all I'm looking for because there is no excuse for any
of us being
all the inequity we see in all of the, and all of this stuff is totally solvable.
If we were much more efficient with, uh, how, how, well, how resources are
utilized, how
they're distributed and so forth.
