Kash Patel, Into Iran, & A Missing Leg | The Tim Dillon Show #485

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show.
They say AI is going to take white-collar jobs in like, what, 18 months?
I'm going to have to get attacked in the street by white-collar people?
Where are you going to be safe when all this happens?
Where are you going to be?
You know how demoralizing it's going to be to get attacked in the street
by consultants and secretaries and accountants and lawyers?
You know, I'm prepared to get attacked, you know,
by the meth zombie, you know, contingent,
people foaming at the mouth, you know,
people addicted to new designer drugs.
But, you know, white-collar work, look that up.
Bring some of that up because this, I was reading this
and I was kind of disturbed by it.
Now, I don't know if it's true.
I tend to think this AI stuff is a little overblown.
I think it's overblown.
I think Sam Altman's a criminal.
I think a lot of the open AI is fake.
I think a lot of it is just overblown
and a lot of people are basically
freaking out prematurely.
I'm not saying that they shouldn't be freaking out.
You should freak out.
You should freak out a little bit.
But I don't think any of that's happening tomorrow.
But where am I going to do this show from
to be safe from, like, hordes of middle management,
white-collar, Panera-eating zombies?
Because that's what's coming.
You're going to watch, like, dental hygienists.
Like, I guess, you know, like the people at the dentist's office,
that woman that schedules you.
She's going to be on the street now with her kids and her husband.
And then the guy who works as an accountant,
he's on the street.
And then the consultants are on the street.
The 12-month deadline is AI about to wipe out white-collar jobs.
And this is, I believe this is India,
but this is the same, you know,
where all of these articles are kind of the same.
And they're all, like,
they're giving these crazy timelines.
Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months
for all white-collar work
to be automated by AI.
So white-collar people in the street
trying to kill you,
addicted to drugs,
losing their home,
living in shanty towns,
starting fires for warmth,
skin diseases,
scabs,
picking at scabs,
flesh rotting.
You know what I mean?
That's what's coming.
White-collar workers are getting nervous,
with good reason.
Sure, 98% of college graduates
who want a job still have one,
and wages are ticking up.
Sure, some companies that cite
the labor-saving efficiency
promoting effects of
ChatGPT and Claude
as they let employees go
are just AI-washing,
talking about algorithms
to distract from poor
managerial decisions.
But the labor market
for office workers
is beginning to shift.
Americans with a bachelor's degree
account for a quarter
of the unemployed,
a record.
Here's what this is going to be, folks.
This is the revenge
of the blue-collar trade workers.
This is a reversal
of the class system in America.
Plumbers,
electricians,
union people,
people that work with their hands,
people that build things,
they are going to be,
they're going to fare better
in this market
than a lot of the white-collar people,
and we should fear
the white-collar people.
We should fear them.
I'm telling you that.
If the white-collar workers
get displaced,
things are going to go nuts.
Things are going to go fucking nuts.
You know, I mean, it's true.
These people are going to,
God only knows what they do
if they cannot live that life.
That white-collar life
where they have, like,
you know,
a salad with goat cheese
and a glass of white wine.
If you take that away from them,
we're going to have
a real revolution
and a real problem.
So, I don't know what's going to happen.
Hopefully,
hopefully,
this isn't happening
in 12 months.
Occupations susceptible to AI automation
have seen sharp spikes
in joblessness.
Businesses really are shrinking payroll
and cutting costs as they deploy.
In recent weeks,
Baker McKenzie,
a white-shoe law firm,
axed 700 employees.
Salesforce sacked hundreds of workers,
and the auditing firm KPMG
negotiated lower fees
with its own auditor.
Two CNBC reporters
with no engineering experience
vibe-coded
a clone of Monday.com's
workflow management platform
in less than an hour.
You know what's also going out of business?
All the headhunters.
Remember that?
All the headhunters
go on themonster.com
or whatever
and get a job.
We're going to help you find a job.
I'll tell you right now.
You got to find something
for these people to do.
There are some of the most annoying people
in our society.
There are some of the most entitled
and annoying people in our society.
They are,
I mean,
I'm just,
they're not even going to make
good homeless people.
You know,
and I know that's controversial,
but some people are good.
They make good homeless people.
They know how to do it.
They adapt to it quickly.
They have the kind of physicality for it.
They have the mental,
you know,
the stamina for it.
I don't like it,
but every now and then
you'll see a homeless person
and go,
you don't have a shot.
You're fucked.
But then certain homeless people,
they're hardened.
They're in it
and it's who they are.
And these white collar fox
are not going to be able to handle it.
These are petty,
annoying,
and yes,
many of them are useless.
Much of,
and I'm not defending AI here
because I think it's a big problem,
but most of these people
don't do anything for a living
and are useless.
A lot of jobs are fake,
but people still have to do them.
They still have to pull their car
into an office
in Phoenix, Arizona,
get out in the blistering heat,
walk inside,
and do something
with their meaningless life.
If you don't give people
something to do,
which is why I'm a huge fan
of office work,
I'm a big fan
of menial tasks,
I'm a big fan
of like pretend work,
and that's what all these people
are doing.
I did an episode a while ago
where I defended
the office life,
the life that millennials
bemoan
because it's not
exciting enough
and it doesn't
inspire them.
That pointless life
of shuffling around
an office,
reading reports,
making recommendations
that completely useless
life
is under threat
in a way
like it's never been before.
It's under attack.
It's under attack
and if you don't find
something for these people
to do,
we're going to have
a major problem.
People need to think
they're doing,
no one's really doing
anything for the most part.
A lot of people aren't.
But they need to think
they're doing something
because if they,
if they,
if they don't have
some kind of purpose
and again,
we're not talking about
the fellowship of the ring
here in terms of purpose.
They don't need to
go to Mordor
to, you know,
throw the thing
in a volcano
or to Mount Doom.
We're just talking about
going to a strip mall
in Minneapolis
and sitting in a debt
collection office
and threatening
poor people.
Someone needs to go
to a debt collection office
in Minneapolis
and threaten
poor people
and,
and,
and call them
and,
and,
and tell them
that they have to make
a minimum payment.
They have to.
Do it on the phone
right now.
Do it on the phone
right now.
That has to still
be a job.
That has to still
be a job.
marketing call centers
have to still
be a job.
People have to be able
to walk into buildings,
pick up a phone,
call other people
in this country,
elderly people,
drunk people,
confused people,
and swindle them
out of retirement.
It's the,
literally,
our entire economy.
I don't know
what you think's
going to happen
when you get rid
of that.
somebody's got to be
able to sit there
with a fucking,
a fucking five-hour
energy and a lead
sheet that looks
like this of names
and they've got to
call all of those
people and they've
got to try to take
them,
try to get them
to take a reverse
mortgage out on
their house.
If you destroy
white-collar work,
you're going to have
all of these people
in the street.
Maybe algorithm-driven
changes will happen
slowly,
giving workers
plenty of time
to adjust.
Maybe white-collar
types have 12 to
18 months left.
Maybe the AI-related
job carnage will be
contained to a sliver
of the economy.
Maybe we should be
more worried about
a stock market bubble
than an AI-driven
labor revolution.
I don't think anyone
knows what will happen
or even what is
happening now.
AI technology is
changing at an
exponential pace
and changing the
workforce in a
thousand hard-to-parse
ways.
And the people
that are making
the AI,
the people that
are really
enthused about
this stuff,
are very happy
to see the
entire world
destroyed.
I mean,
it's true.
It's one of the
only products
that I've ever
seen a mass
marketing campaign
for that they
will tell you,
the people that
are making the
product will tell
you they're going
to destroy the
world.
And they say
it very calmly
and they're
like,
you know,
Sam Altman's
like,
well,
I think that
we should all
keep in mind
that before the
complete and
total destruction
of the world,
we're going to
have a real
increase in
productivity.
I've never seen
a product like
this.
This would have
been like if
McDonald's in the
90s was like,
we're giving you
cancer.
you're all
getting cancer.
No one,
you got to bury
the lead a little
bit here.
Get up Sam
Altman talking
about AI and
the complete
destruction of
the labor force.
They will
straight up tell
you and,
you know,
props to them.
They're not
hiding it.
They're going,
yeah,
I mean,
there's no way
around it.
There's no way
around it where
everyone that has
a job and a
purpose right now
and money has
to figure out
some other way
to live.
We got to figure
out another way
for them to live.
It's just
whatever your
life is where
you have a job
and you have
money from that
job, that's not
going to work
anymore.
That's not going
to work anymore.
So, you
know, if
you need
stuff like that
to feel, and
they'll even say
stuff like this,
they'll be like,
if you need a
job and
money to
feel good about
yourself, we
got a real
problem.
We got a real
problem coming if
you need a job
and money to
feel good about
yourself, because
that's not part
of the future.
We're going
to all, we're
all going to
be, you
know, yeah,
so here's Sam
Altman, who's
defending AI's
energy toll, because
you know all
these AI data
centers use tons
of energy, and
because replacing
humanity actually
is, you need a
lot of energy to
replace the
population, but
Sam Altman, who's
the CEO of
OpenAI, downplayed
concerns about how
much water data
centers require at
an AI summit in
India.
See if you can
get this video
up.
Sam basically
goes, it takes a
lot to train a
human being.
It's a lot of
energy.
You got to raise
them and send
them to school, and
you got to buy
them stupid
birthday cakes and
put birthday
candles on the
cake.
You got to teach
them how to
ride a bike, and
then they're
going to want to
go to prom.
Then you're
going to have
to talk to
them about how
to be a good
person.
They maybe have
to go to
college.
You visit
them at
college.
You drop
them off at
college.
Your wife
cries.
It's a whole
thing.
the kid
calls you
from college
and tells you
about a girl
that he wants
to bring home
over the
holidays.
Why do we
need to do
that whole
process called
life?
Let's eliminate
it.
Let's get rid
of it.
We don't
need it.
Why would we
need it?
Here it is.
Sam Altman, a
friend of the
show, creepy
Sith Lord, Sam
Altman.
I hate that a
lot of these
people are gay,
by the way.
And it
bothers me,
because as a
gay person, I
go, well, this
doesn't make me
look great,
although me and
Sam Altman don't
really have tons
in common.
Here is Sam
Altman talking
about training a
human being,
which is called
life, by the
way.
We can kind
of start to
think about
eliminating.
If we start
to think about
how to
eliminate the
process by
which we
instill
character and
skills and
help people
realize their
talent, if we
get rid of
that process
and we
just put a
bunch of
AI data
centers in
the middle
of the
desert and
soak up the
world's energy,
we can end
life on Earth
very quickly.
Sam Altman.
One of the
things that is
always unfair in
this comparison
is people talk
about how much
energy it takes
to train an
AI model rel
