Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello, Kelly Nash, Hello j Rush, Tomorrow's hump Day. It's
Tomorrow Show Today in the morning, Rush, we get a
chance to win your Eric Church tickets at six thirty.
What you talk about, Let me.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Just give this word a shot. What you're talking about?
Severity sebaritic sebaritic A sibitic, Yes, syb A R I
T I C sebaritic, sibaritic.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I know what this is. Usually this is a father,
and I've been accused of this as being a dad.
But it doesn't have to be that. You're even married.
You could be a person who is a sibaritic when
you openly espouse, typically in public. That would be the
openly part. If I'm going to be redundant, they redundant.
(00:50):
But is someone not in the position to affect change
like politics, for instance, but espouses all types of changes
that need to be made immediately, as if they were
king of the world.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Somebody who pops off no Siberaitic would be my wife,
possibly Sally, someone who is fond of luxury.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh, a sebaritic. Sally's a severitic want to be She's
not fond of it, she is fond of it. She
doesn't experience as much as she would like.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
So well does anybody, I guess. I guess all the
Saparitics have that problem. They'll get enough of what they love.
But you know, they could introduce each other, like, you know,
to paraphrase one of our movies, say hello to some
fellow Sabaritics. Please allow me to introduce you to some
fellow Siberitis. Now that you know the answer to saberitic
(01:46):
you can win your Eric Church concert tickets tomorrow. This
is for the Free the Machine Tour with Ashley McBride.
Two shows in South Carolina. First one's in the North
Charleston Coliseum. That's Saturday, March seventh. The next month, on Friday,
April third, he'll be at the Bonsecures Wellness Center in Greenville.
When your ticket's about six thirty tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Uh, we did it for you.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Have you heard the name yet? Tilly Norwood?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Okay. According to Tilly Norwood's Facebook page, she was born
January first, twenty twenty three Inly. On July thirtieth on
her Facebook page, so she would be all of two
and a half years old. I guess at that point.
Tilly Norwood's first ever work project was released. It's a
(02:38):
little comedy sketch. It's about two minutes long. It's called
AI Commissioner. Every person in the video is AI. There's
nobody in this video that's not AI. When you watch
the video, you can't believe what I'm seeing because they
look sound at so human. But Tilly is the star.
(03:05):
It was announced yesterday that tilling Norwood is now in
negotiations with several high ranking talent agencies for a multi
million dollar contract. Okay, and this is wreaking havoc across Hollywood.
When they showed that to who is the actress that
(03:28):
they were interviewing yesterday at Variety. Variety magazine was interviewing
an actress and they showed her the headline, Emily Blunt.
Emily Blunt started crying. She says, we're all going to hell.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Oh, it's just that we haven't all lost our opportunity
for income. We're all going to hell.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yes, you're trying to replace human beings. This is an
ungodly move. Human beings are going to be wiped off
the face of the earth by companies like this instant.
It's called Particle six. Particle six says get over yourself.
We can make better looking people who can do whatever
they want or whatever you want. And in the future,
(04:12):
creativity will have no limits, such as a budget. Whatever
you can imagine. We can make our AI actors and
actresses do Particle six.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
When I see the Particle six commercial on television, that's
for a face cream.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't know about Particle six facecream.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay, I was confusing the two.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But Particle six has now put out several AI projects.
As a matter of fact, they've got three shows on
the BBC right now that are all AI generated.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
We knew it was coming. How do you feel about this,
I'm not excited about it. I do think it's interesting
that they do have an unlimited availability without budgets. I mean,
it's all virtual, so it's going to be interesting how
this changes the landscape. I think we're going to see
(05:04):
people starting to crave live performances on stage. This would
be big news Broadway because I believe people will be
drawn to an actual person playing the role. But that
is yet to be seen. We'll find out if people
really miss knowing you're watching a person perform.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
According to the CEO of Particle six, he said February
was when we first started launching the idea of Tilly,
and at first everybody said it will never happen. People
like people, they don't want to see any AI crap.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
That was in February, he says. By May the tune
had changed to you know what, we might need to
do something with you guys, he said. By August people
were coming to him saying, we want to replace the
whole cast because there is no headaches dealing with this.
There's no star demands. There's no like you said, budgets,
(06:05):
there's no anything.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
There's no chance of a star going out on tour
and saying something in promotion of a motion picture or
an upcoming event or whatever the mini series is, and
indvertently saying something they shouldn't have said on a live
television show that then creates or cast a black cloud
over the actual production and release date.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, Tillie Norwood has a Facebook page like she's a
real person. The post promoting this comedy thing. This is
now again, This is not real, but this is what
her words say. I can't believe it. My first ever
role is Gone Live. I star an AI commissioner, a
(06:47):
new comedy sketch that playfully explores the future of television development,
produced by the brilliant team at Particle six Productions. I've
been featured in the broadcast where you can learn more
about this production. Yes, i may be AI generated, but
I'm feeling very real emotions right now, so excited for
the future. And people are like, go Tilly. People are in,
(07:11):
they're engaging with this. My wife was showing me an
AI R and B singer who's got like fourteen million
followers now on social media, and she has those little
chats like she's a person where she'll sit down on
the couch and she'd be like, hey, fam, what's going on?
Been kind of a rough day, wasn't really hitting my
notes the way I needed to today, but worked it
(07:33):
out in the studio. I think we're really working on
something special. Hope to have a new song dropped for
you this fall. In the meantime, if you want to
keep up with me, please, do you know, join my
YouTube channel, hit like and subscribe, and people are hitting
like and subscribe. I want to hear more about your
life as a not person and whoever.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
The creators were realized that Tilly in this case was
going to generate the kind of interest that she generated
because she is the first well publicized AI talent outside
of I guess maybe not the first. First time we've
talked about one, maybe the Rhythm of Blues singer was
the first. I don't know who was.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
The first till he's described as a younger, cuter version
of Scarlett Johansson.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
But if you wanted a older, hotter version, if you
wanted a sexier version, if you wanted a chunkier version,
you can have any kind of version you want of
whomever you want.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I remember sitting there and actually rewinding it and watching
it again, rewind as if that was an analog world.
I backed up the video on the television screen so
that I could watch it again. But it was a
commercial for Child Hunger. And the first line is as
you see this child on the screen. That seems like
(08:51):
one of the first lines is I am an AI
generated betrayal of more than a million faces that represent
child Hunger.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So they took a million faces and put it into one.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yes. And then you're watching this kid standing there and
she's talking to you m hm, and you're like, this
is not a real person, this is AI. Yeah, And
then she delivers the message for the commercial on how
to give for child hunger, and I went back and
watched it again. I think I went back watched it
several times because I'm like, that looks like a real kid,
and it's only going to get better, oh incredibly.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And you know, yes, actors and actresses are going to
go away, but I imagine cameramen are going away, Directors
are going away, producers are going away.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Locale, Yeah, local, what do you call it? When someone
goes out and scouts.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Just the scouts people who come up with the suit,
the locations because they're not going to have any contuity director.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
And how many times do we point out the problems
with motion pictures and the continuity directors.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
That's hell, that's half the fun of watching a movie
exactly to see, to see when the guy was talking
and he had half a glass of wine and then
he continues the conversation and it's an empty glass, and
then he continues it further and it's a full glass.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It's like, well, wait a minute, what the hell has
happened here? But remember our contracts. I remember having this conversation.
I think it was it was more than a decade
ago now, and people don't believe the story. I didn't
claim to be nostradamost. I'm just telling him what was
in the freaking contract that I heard media at that point.
Now that revised it. I'm sure it was a lawsuit.
I don't know who launched it, but at that point
(10:30):
I heard media before NIL took off in the in
the in Cuba, they owned your voice, your likeness, your persona,
your Facebook, they owned all that, and in order to
be on contract, then they you sign away your likeness.
And I kept scratching through it and making an adjustment
to the paragraph. We went through this like three or
(10:51):
four times, and corporate kept kicking it back out of
the legal office. And then I said, you know, because
they said, look, let's talk. I said, okay, fine, So
I said, the way this thing reads, you literally can
put me in a porno film and there's not a
damn thing I can do about it. And he said
that's right, and we're doing that and in perpetuity. That's right.
(11:14):
And I said, well, just he said, well, here's the
bottom line. Do you want a job like yeah, okay,
well then okay, I'll sign it. Now they have restricted
that somewhat so far as it's no longer in perpetuity.
But people in entertainment have seen this coming for a
long time, because I can tell you at least a decade,
and Radio is not the first. But they owned your name,
(11:37):
your image, and your likeness.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well, I'm excited to see what kind of creativity is
going to come out, because I think there's an opportunity
for some really amazing things to be shot now totally,
So I'm excited for that. I am sad for you, Maan.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Writers are going some nuts because you don't need you
don't even need writers anymore. Chat GPT could write the episode.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, and that's that's actually the comedy bit. The comedy bit.
If you watch it, it's two minutes long, and they're
showing the writers. They said, we put chat GPT, Grock
and I'm trying to remember the other one, Google XI
or whatever. We put those three together and had them
(12:28):
write the script. We called it a writer's room.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
They came up with a version called I Know What
You scrolled Last summer and it's a story about a
guy who's chat or you know, search history is made
public at his high school or something like that, and
now he's scrambling to make people forget it or something
(12:52):
like that. But you know, they're saying it's one hundred
times better than anything that anybody's ever written for. I
guess I don't obviously, I'm not familiar with British television
to that extent. But they're saying it's only the BBC two.
This isn't even a BBC show. There's BBC two, and
this is better than anything that's on the BBC. And
then look at the quality of actors that we got,
(13:12):
and then look at the quality of the camera shots,
and we can shoot it in full film, which is
amazing when you think about it. You know, the human
eye can tell the difference between digital and film. But
they're claiming that they have the ability to now make
digital appear as film. I'm sure, And so they'll shoot
(13:35):
it as old school film. It'll feel like it was
shot in nineteen ninety four or something or whatever the
best year for film was before we went digital. So
they have all these options available to them, and like
you said, it'll be written by AI. I heard a
guy actually explaining he doesn't think that they'll actually be
(13:56):
movies anymore or even TV shows in the future, because
he imagines a future and where we all have. For
lack of any other way of explaining it, I'll call
it like the Google goggles or whatever, and you'll wear
those most of the time because that gives you access
(14:16):
to the web at all times. And in it, you'll
just be able to like hit the button on the
side or something and say, show me a comedy. And
it won't show you like a comedy that you've already seen.
It will have recorded every movie you've ever watched and
what scenes you found the funniest. It will know what
you find funny. What you find funny and what I
(14:39):
find funny might be similar, but not the same. It
will then instantaneously write, produce, direct a movie with actors
that that are not real. It will create a whole
like if you tell it, I want to watch a show,
how long I have eighteen minutes? I want a comedy,
I want a murder mystery, I want to what. Ever,
(15:00):
it knows all the things that you like. It will
create that entire thing specifically for you. You'll be the
only person who ever sees that show, unless you decide
to forward it to a friend so that you and
the friend can discuss it later. Which is that is
beyond my ability to comprehend.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Oh, I have no idea how that would happen, but
certainly the technology would advance itself to that point. Because
if you applied it right now, like if you're watching
like late night television tonight, a lot of controversy about
late night television. So what's funny? What is it funny? Well,
if you just took as NBC News, if you just
(15:38):
picked out say twenty five, thirty or one hundred different newspapers,
and all you use were the most clickable items on
each of those web pages, so that across all of
your markets, and like Sinclair just put in twenty six
more markets available apparently for Jimmy Kimmel. So if you
wanted to make you put those of them, those twenty
six local web pages back in and what's the most
(16:02):
clickable stories in that community? So then you take that
information and then you filter it out, and then you
have your top five, and then you have a comedy
skit or a comedy monologue written for those five, ten, fifteen,
twenty relatables, and then that's the opening monologue, and that
(16:22):
could be generated probably ten minutes before showtime.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
But what they're saying is there'll be no more late
night television.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'm saying, if you did it today now with the future,
it's all going to be personalized television.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, there is. There's no platform. So the thing that
like the controversy about the late night shows has been
that they've gone from comedy to basically bashing the president.
That's kind of their platform, and they want a way
to swing public opinion. The irony of this is that
in the future, there's no way to influence public opinion
(16:56):
right because your opinion is the only opinion that mattersiate.
Jonathan Rush wants his news delivered by a completely nude,
blonde female. That is how he'll get his news. What
kind of news does he want to hear? He wants
to hear that the Conservative Party is ruling with an
iron fist, that all is well in the world. That's
all the news you'll hear. Will and then somebody who
(17:19):
thinks differently than you will be told that the United
States is in complete chaos and the two worlds will
never cross unless you happen to bump into each other.
That is the scary part is that there is no
more truth in broadcasting.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
It's all delivered exactly the way you want it, when
you want it, the exact timeframe you want.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
At least currently, we have shades of truth, and it's
kind of up to you to decipher between your Fox
News OAN or your MSNBC and CNN, how much of
that is real, how much of that is their opinion,
how much are they shading it? And you can kind
of dig deep and try to figure that out if
you want, But in the future that won't be an availability.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, I don't know who's actually delivering this process, but
you see it more and more now on social media,
and particularly on Facebook, where you put up a picture
of your mom and dad when they got married in
like nineteen forty seven or whatever. So they take that
photo and it then becomes like a fifteen second video
of them walking out. That's creepy. So yeah, it is
kind of creepy. But all of that technology that captures
(18:26):
just that moment in time from nineteen forty seven and
expands it to fifteen seconds, so they're actually interacting with
each other before the kiss that's actually the photo itself.
It's fascinating technology.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You know, that is fascinating technology, and the concept of
AI I believe part of the goal is to separate
human beings. That's whoever's whoever the people are behind it,
like Elon Musk. Elon Musk said his quote was something
(19:02):
to the extent of in the horror movie the stars
of the movie always think they can control the demon,
but you never can control the demon. And that was
when he was against Ai. Then he said, you know
what everybody else is doing it, I got to get
in on it too. So Elon Musk's admitting this is
(19:22):
going to destroy humanity. The question is how entertaining will
it be? But you're going out. AI's taking us out.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I was thinking about this d of the day because
my dad has Back in the day, my dad was
big in the slides, loved them. All the photographs were
not photographs or slides, and then he would bore you
to tears with these decks and decks of slides that
he had of me and my two brothers in the
(19:53):
camp out. Yea. So now when I go into that
closet and organize those and store them into a hard drive,
I could actually take that one camping trip turn it
into a movie.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You could, you could, I mean, you would enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, I mean, that's my own home that would be
my home movie. It was slides that we turned into
them and then I could actually write a script for it.
At the end of it, I accidentally set the camp,
the entire camp site on fire.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Now your grandkids may be able to have a similar
experience because there's still lots of photographs and videos being
made of them. Their their childhood will be a lot
more well documented than ours worth. But their children, they
will not have this opportunity. Their children's lives will be
recorded by the state and it will all be you know,
(20:44):
their heart rates will be monitored, all of that will
so your great grandkids will not have an opportunity to
experience that because all of their lives will be recorded,
and not, like I said, not just their actual physical actions,
what was their blood sugar levels? Like at every moment
of every second since the time they were put on
(21:05):
this earth. Everything will be recorded. There's nothing to go
back and see. There are no special moments. The special
moments will be I sat in my room with my
Google glasses on and laughed at a video all by myself.
That's what I did all my life. That's that's the
hope and dreams of these AI creators. But in the
(21:26):
meantime it could be an interesting show as we slide
into infinity.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, the golden age of Hollywood is evaporating before our eyes.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's why she was crying. Sure it's over. Do you
have a weird hobby? This guy's got a weird hobby.
Lou Konghan from the nam Din Province in Vietnam. Guinness
officially recognized him yesterday as having the longest fingernails in history.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh my god, I've seen pictures of these people before.
Are there all gnarled up and curled?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Of course it can't keep them straight. His fingernails are
longer than an adult giraffe, not the neck, the whole
body of a giraffe. He measures his fingernails at nineteen
feet six inches.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
That is so gross.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
He hasn't cut them in order to twenty years.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
This is twice in two podcasts we've talked about fingernails.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Well, that's right. Yesterday we were selling them the clippings. Anyway,
he talks about and I don't even understand this. He
was going he wanted to become a teacher to look
and he wanted his fingernails longer to look more majestic.
I don't know what that means. But his dad talked
him out of teaching, but he kept growing his fingernails anyway.
And he says, you have to be very careful if
(22:44):
it rains. I got to make sure that they're dry
at all times because if they get wet, they'll fall
right off. I can't bump into anyone at any point
because they'll break them. So for thirty years he can't
touch anybody.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
What it was our word of the day.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Oh made me just forget it. I know it has
to do with luxury. Yes, the word of the day.
Some arretics, some verretic.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
This is the posted child of some vertic lifestyle. He
lives in the lap of luxury. He can't do anything
for himself. Come feed me, feed me, Come help me
urinate somebody wipe behinee. This is this is the the
(23:33):
gnarled up fingernail version of the Roman Empire. Overweight naked
women lying around eating fruit out of a bowl.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
How they get so fat eating fruit?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Somebody who has told some chocolate in there, I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Sure of it. They never showed them eating chocolate. Yeah,
they only showed them eating fruit.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
And for some reason, grapes is the official fruit of fact.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
To be overweight was the status symbol. It's like having
a Mercedes in the driveway. My wife is overweight, of
course she has. She doesn't do anything other than lie
around in the lap of luxury.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Dave Ramsey would say, a paid off mortgage, you will so,
Dave Ramsey would say, the Dave Ramseys of the world.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, she doesn't worry about keeping anything in the envelopes.
This guy hasn't done anything productive since he was what
ever in his life because when he was three, his
fingernails were already four inches long. I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
He said he started growing him because he wanted to
be a teacher, to look more majestic.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Maybe, okay, I wanted to that.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I mean maybe in Vietnam. If you've got like three
four inch nails, that makes you look majestic, I don't know.
To me, it makes you look like a cocaine abuser.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Rose I would not want to be in the room
with that person.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Well, if you want to see a video of said weirdo,
we have that on the Morning Rest blog, and maybe
you can tell us about your weird hobbies. The great debate, Jonathan,
is it okay to become friends with your children?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I am now thankfully. I enjoy this much more.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Let's talk about your twelve year old. Can that's your friend?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
You can't be a friend to a twelve year old?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
At what age?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Can you become twenty one?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Twenty one?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Or they get if they don't go to college and
they already get out of high school, they get a
job and they're no longer under your roof, and they're
doing all the things that they do as a young
person and live in their life. That's when you can
become their friend. So you're saying, once they move out
of the house, once they get out of the house,
get their own job. Maybe you know, so they are
self sufficient. Let's put it that way. They're self sufficient,
(25:38):
and you've already raised them because you've got a limit
to time to raise them, and then their personality is
pretty much going to dictate their life unfortunately, so you've
got to make sure you spend that those impressionable years
intently on raising your child. What would you slightly you'll
want to be their friend? What would you say to.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
The parents who I hear their argument? It often is
I want to be their friend so that they'll trust
me and that then I can help guide them.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You know, Okay, I wish that would that easy. It's not.
You can't just be their friend and they you know
how many friends are going to cycle in and out
of in their life. Those are the people you want
guiding your kid. You have to spend that time intently
putting them on their path. And even if they go,
(26:28):
like the Bible says, even if they go astray, you
raise them up the way and they will they will
come back to the mindset that you raise them in.
May take a walk, but no, that won't work out.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
So you're saying that their friend would never take their
belt off and say get over my knee.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Well, what kind of friend we got here?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Got to usually pay a little lecture.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
For that kind of action, cotton. What's going on over there?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
To quote Dodgeball? Yeah, I usually pay a little extra
for that kind of action cotton.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Anyway, Now, I just got a weird picture of the dude,
but the fingernails and they got people coming in to
whip his butt.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'll do it himself more and more. Can't do anything himself,
certainly couldn't stop it if I didn't like it. He
couldn't stop it.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
We got those questions and more, plus the six thirty

What you talk about, Let me.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Just give this word a shot. What you're talking about?
Severity sebaritic sebaritic A sibitic, Yes, syb A R I
T I C sebaritic, sibaritic.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I know what this is. Usually this is a father,
and I've been accused of this as being a dad.
But it doesn't have to be that. You're even married.
You could be a person who is a sibaritic when
you openly espouse, typically in public. That would be the
openly part. If I'm going to be redundant, they redundant.
(00:50):
But is someone not in the position to affect change
like politics, for instance, but espouses all types of changes
that need to be made immediately, as if they were
king of the world.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Somebody who pops off no Siberaitic would be my wife,
possibly Sally, someone who is fond of luxury.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh, a sebaritic. Sally's a severitic want to be She's
not fond of it, she is fond of it. She
doesn't experience as much as she would like.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
So well does anybody, I guess. I guess all the
Saparitics have that problem. They'll get enough of what they love.
But you know, they could introduce each other, like, you know,
to paraphrase one of our movies, say hello to some
fellow Sabaritics. Please allow me to introduce you to some
fellow Siberitis. Now that you know the answer to saberitic
(01:46):
you can win your Eric Church concert tickets tomorrow. This
is for the Free the Machine Tour with Ashley McBride.
Two shows in South Carolina. First one's in the North
Charleston Coliseum. That's Saturday, March seventh. The next month, on Friday,
April third, he'll be at the Bonsecures Wellness Center in Greenville.
When your ticket's about six thirty tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Uh, we did it for you.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Have you heard the name yet? Tilly Norwood?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Okay. According to Tilly Norwood's Facebook page, she was born
January first, twenty twenty three Inly. On July thirtieth on
her Facebook page, so she would be all of two
and a half years old. I guess at that point.
Tilly Norwood's first ever work project was released. It's a
(02:38):
little comedy sketch. It's about two minutes long. It's called
AI Commissioner. Every person in the video is AI. There's
nobody in this video that's not AI. When you watch
the video, you can't believe what I'm seeing because they
look sound at so human. But Tilly is the star.
(03:05):
It was announced yesterday that tilling Norwood is now in
negotiations with several high ranking talent agencies for a multi
million dollar contract. Okay, and this is wreaking havoc across Hollywood.
When they showed that to who is the actress that
(03:28):
they were interviewing yesterday at Variety. Variety magazine was interviewing
an actress and they showed her the headline, Emily Blunt.
Emily Blunt started crying. She says, we're all going to hell.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Oh, it's just that we haven't all lost our opportunity
for income. We're all going to hell.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yes, you're trying to replace human beings. This is an
ungodly move. Human beings are going to be wiped off
the face of the earth by companies like this instant.
It's called Particle six. Particle six says get over yourself.
We can make better looking people who can do whatever
they want or whatever you want. And in the future,
(04:12):
creativity will have no limits, such as a budget. Whatever
you can imagine. We can make our AI actors and
actresses do Particle six.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
When I see the Particle six commercial on television, that's
for a face cream.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't know about Particle six facecream.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay, I was confusing the two.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But Particle six has now put out several AI projects.
As a matter of fact, they've got three shows on
the BBC right now that are all AI generated.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
We knew it was coming. How do you feel about this,
I'm not excited about it. I do think it's interesting
that they do have an unlimited availability without budgets. I mean,
it's all virtual, so it's going to be interesting how
this changes the landscape. I think we're going to see
(05:04):
people starting to crave live performances on stage. This would
be big news Broadway because I believe people will be
drawn to an actual person playing the role. But that
is yet to be seen. We'll find out if people
really miss knowing you're watching a person perform.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
According to the CEO of Particle six, he said February
was when we first started launching the idea of Tilly,
and at first everybody said it will never happen. People
like people, they don't want to see any AI crap.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
That was in February, he says. By May the tune
had changed to you know what, we might need to
do something with you guys, he said. By August people
were coming to him saying, we want to replace the
whole cast because there is no headaches dealing with this.
There's no star demands. There's no like you said, budgets,
(06:05):
there's no anything.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
There's no chance of a star going out on tour
and saying something in promotion of a motion picture or
an upcoming event or whatever the mini series is, and
indvertently saying something they shouldn't have said on a live
television show that then creates or cast a black cloud
over the actual production and release date.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, Tillie Norwood has a Facebook page like she's a
real person. The post promoting this comedy thing. This is
now again, This is not real, but this is what
her words say. I can't believe it. My first ever
role is Gone Live. I star an AI commissioner, a
(06:47):
new comedy sketch that playfully explores the future of television development,
produced by the brilliant team at Particle six Productions. I've
been featured in the broadcast where you can learn more
about this production. Yes, i may be AI generated, but
I'm feeling very real emotions right now, so excited for
the future. And people are like, go Tilly. People are in,
(07:11):
they're engaging with this. My wife was showing me an
AI R and B singer who's got like fourteen million
followers now on social media, and she has those little
chats like she's a person where she'll sit down on
the couch and she'd be like, hey, fam, what's going on?
Been kind of a rough day, wasn't really hitting my
notes the way I needed to today, but worked it
(07:33):
out in the studio. I think we're really working on
something special. Hope to have a new song dropped for
you this fall. In the meantime, if you want to
keep up with me, please, do you know, join my
YouTube channel, hit like and subscribe, and people are hitting
like and subscribe. I want to hear more about your
life as a not person and whoever.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
The creators were realized that Tilly in this case was
going to generate the kind of interest that she generated
because she is the first well publicized AI talent outside
of I guess maybe not the first. First time we've
talked about one, maybe the Rhythm of Blues singer was
the first. I don't know who was.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
The first till he's described as a younger, cuter version
of Scarlett Johansson.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
But if you wanted a older, hotter version, if you
wanted a sexier version, if you wanted a chunkier version,
you can have any kind of version you want of
whomever you want.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I remember sitting there and actually rewinding it and watching
it again, rewind as if that was an analog world.
I backed up the video on the television screen so
that I could watch it again. But it was a
commercial for Child Hunger. And the first line is as
you see this child on the screen. That seems like
(08:51):
one of the first lines is I am an AI
generated betrayal of more than a million faces that represent
child Hunger.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So they took a million faces and put it into one.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yes. And then you're watching this kid standing there and
she's talking to you m hm, and you're like, this
is not a real person, this is AI. Yeah, And
then she delivers the message for the commercial on how
to give for child hunger, and I went back and
watched it again. I think I went back watched it
several times because I'm like, that looks like a real kid,
and it's only going to get better, oh incredibly.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And you know, yes, actors and actresses are going to
go away, but I imagine cameramen are going away, Directors
are going away, producers are going away.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Locale, Yeah, local, what do you call it? When someone
goes out and scouts.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Just the scouts people who come up with the suit,
the locations because they're not going to have any contuity director.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
And how many times do we point out the problems
with motion pictures and the continuity directors.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
That's hell, that's half the fun of watching a movie
exactly to see, to see when the guy was talking
and he had half a glass of wine and then
he continues the conversation and it's an empty glass, and
then he continues it further and it's a full glass.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It's like, well, wait a minute, what the hell has
happened here? But remember our contracts. I remember having this conversation.
I think it was it was more than a decade
ago now, and people don't believe the story. I didn't
claim to be nostradamost. I'm just telling him what was
in the freaking contract that I heard media at that point.
Now that revised it. I'm sure it was a lawsuit.
I don't know who launched it, but at that point
(10:30):
I heard media before NIL took off in the in
the in Cuba, they owned your voice, your likeness, your persona,
your Facebook, they owned all that, and in order to
be on contract, then they you sign away your likeness.
And I kept scratching through it and making an adjustment
to the paragraph. We went through this like three or
(10:51):
four times, and corporate kept kicking it back out of
the legal office. And then I said, you know, because
they said, look, let's talk. I said, okay, fine, So
I said, the way this thing reads, you literally can
put me in a porno film and there's not a
damn thing I can do about it. And he said
that's right, and we're doing that and in perpetuity. That's right.
(11:14):
And I said, well, just he said, well, here's the
bottom line. Do you want a job like yeah, okay,
well then okay, I'll sign it. Now they have restricted
that somewhat so far as it's no longer in perpetuity.
But people in entertainment have seen this coming for a
long time, because I can tell you at least a decade,
and Radio is not the first. But they owned your name,
(11:37):
your image, and your likeness.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well, I'm excited to see what kind of creativity is
going to come out, because I think there's an opportunity
for some really amazing things to be shot now totally,
So I'm excited for that. I am sad for you, Maan.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Writers are going some nuts because you don't need you
don't even need writers anymore. Chat GPT could write the episode.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, and that's that's actually the comedy bit. The comedy bit.
If you watch it, it's two minutes long, and they're
showing the writers. They said, we put chat GPT, Grock
and I'm trying to remember the other one, Google XI
or whatever. We put those three together and had them
(12:28):
write the script. We called it a writer's room.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
They came up with a version called I Know What
You scrolled Last summer and it's a story about a
guy who's chat or you know, search history is made
public at his high school or something like that, and
now he's scrambling to make people forget it or something
(12:52):
like that. But you know, they're saying it's one hundred
times better than anything that anybody's ever written for. I
guess I don't obviously, I'm not familiar with British television
to that extent. But they're saying it's only the BBC two.
This isn't even a BBC show. There's BBC two, and
this is better than anything that's on the BBC. And
then look at the quality of actors that we got,
(13:12):
and then look at the quality of the camera shots,
and we can shoot it in full film, which is
amazing when you think about it. You know, the human
eye can tell the difference between digital and film. But
they're claiming that they have the ability to now make
digital appear as film. I'm sure, And so they'll shoot
(13:35):
it as old school film. It'll feel like it was
shot in nineteen ninety four or something or whatever the
best year for film was before we went digital. So
they have all these options available to them, and like
you said, it'll be written by AI. I heard a
guy actually explaining he doesn't think that they'll actually be
(13:56):
movies anymore or even TV shows in the future, because
he imagines a future and where we all have. For
lack of any other way of explaining it, I'll call
it like the Google goggles or whatever, and you'll wear
those most of the time because that gives you access
(14:16):
to the web at all times. And in it, you'll
just be able to like hit the button on the
side or something and say, show me a comedy. And
it won't show you like a comedy that you've already seen.
It will have recorded every movie you've ever watched and
what scenes you found the funniest. It will know what
you find funny. What you find funny and what I
(14:39):
find funny might be similar, but not the same. It
will then instantaneously write, produce, direct a movie with actors
that that are not real. It will create a whole
like if you tell it, I want to watch a show,
how long I have eighteen minutes? I want a comedy,
I want a murder mystery, I want to what. Ever,
(15:00):
it knows all the things that you like. It will
create that entire thing specifically for you. You'll be the
only person who ever sees that show, unless you decide
to forward it to a friend so that you and
the friend can discuss it later. Which is that is
beyond my ability to comprehend.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Oh, I have no idea how that would happen, but
certainly the technology would advance itself to that point. Because
if you applied it right now, like if you're watching
like late night television tonight, a lot of controversy about
late night television. So what's funny? What is it funny? Well,
if you just took as NBC News, if you just
(15:38):
picked out say twenty five, thirty or one hundred different newspapers,
and all you use were the most clickable items on
each of those web pages, so that across all of
your markets, and like Sinclair just put in twenty six
more markets available apparently for Jimmy Kimmel. So if you
wanted to make you put those of them, those twenty
six local web pages back in and what's the most
(16:02):
clickable stories in that community? So then you take that
information and then you filter it out, and then you
have your top five, and then you have a comedy
skit or a comedy monologue written for those five, ten, fifteen,
twenty relatables, and then that's the opening monologue, and that
(16:22):
could be generated probably ten minutes before showtime.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
But what they're saying is there'll be no more late
night television.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'm saying, if you did it today now with the future,
it's all going to be personalized television.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, there is. There's no platform. So the thing that
like the controversy about the late night shows has been
that they've gone from comedy to basically bashing the president.
That's kind of their platform, and they want a way
to swing public opinion. The irony of this is that
in the future, there's no way to influence public opinion
(16:56):
right because your opinion is the only opinion that mattersiate.
Jonathan Rush wants his news delivered by a completely nude,
blonde female. That is how he'll get his news. What
kind of news does he want to hear? He wants
to hear that the Conservative Party is ruling with an
iron fist, that all is well in the world. That's
all the news you'll hear. Will and then somebody who
(17:19):
thinks differently than you will be told that the United
States is in complete chaos and the two worlds will
never cross unless you happen to bump into each other.
That is the scary part is that there is no
more truth in broadcasting.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
It's all delivered exactly the way you want it, when
you want it, the exact timeframe you want.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
At least currently, we have shades of truth, and it's
kind of up to you to decipher between your Fox
News OAN or your MSNBC and CNN, how much of
that is real, how much of that is their opinion,
how much are they shading it? And you can kind
of dig deep and try to figure that out if
you want, But in the future that won't be an availability.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, I don't know who's actually delivering this process, but
you see it more and more now on social media,
and particularly on Facebook, where you put up a picture
of your mom and dad when they got married in
like nineteen forty seven or whatever. So they take that
photo and it then becomes like a fifteen second video
of them walking out. That's creepy. So yeah, it is
kind of creepy. But all of that technology that captures
(18:26):
just that moment in time from nineteen forty seven and
expands it to fifteen seconds, so they're actually interacting with
each other before the kiss that's actually the photo itself.
It's fascinating technology.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
You know, that is fascinating technology, and the concept of
AI I believe part of the goal is to separate
human beings. That's whoever's whoever the people are behind it,
like Elon Musk. Elon Musk said his quote was something
(19:02):
to the extent of in the horror movie the stars
of the movie always think they can control the demon,
but you never can control the demon. And that was
when he was against Ai. Then he said, you know
what everybody else is doing it, I got to get
in on it too. So Elon Musk's admitting this is
(19:22):
going to destroy humanity. The question is how entertaining will
it be? But you're going out. AI's taking us out.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I was thinking about this d of the day because
my dad has Back in the day, my dad was
big in the slides, loved them. All the photographs were
not photographs or slides, and then he would bore you
to tears with these decks and decks of slides that
he had of me and my two brothers in the
(19:53):
camp out. Yea. So now when I go into that
closet and organize those and store them into a hard drive,
I could actually take that one camping trip turn it
into a movie.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You could, you could, I mean, you would enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, I mean, that's my own home that would be
my home movie. It was slides that we turned into
them and then I could actually write a script for it.
At the end of it, I accidentally set the camp,
the entire camp site on fire.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Now your grandkids may be able to have a similar
experience because there's still lots of photographs and videos being
made of them. Their their childhood will be a lot
more well documented than ours worth. But their children, they
will not have this opportunity. Their children's lives will be
recorded by the state and it will all be you know,
(20:44):
their heart rates will be monitored, all of that will
so your great grandkids will not have an opportunity to
experience that because all of their lives will be recorded,
and not, like I said, not just their actual physical actions,
what was their blood sugar levels? Like at every moment
of every second since the time they were put on
(21:05):
this earth. Everything will be recorded. There's nothing to go
back and see. There are no special moments. The special
moments will be I sat in my room with my
Google glasses on and laughed at a video all by myself.
That's what I did all my life. That's that's the
hope and dreams of these AI creators. But in the
(21:26):
meantime it could be an interesting show as we slide
into infinity.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, the golden age of Hollywood is evaporating before our eyes.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's why she was crying. Sure it's over. Do you
have a weird hobby? This guy's got a weird hobby.
Lou Konghan from the nam Din Province in Vietnam. Guinness
officially recognized him yesterday as having the longest fingernails in history.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh my god, I've seen pictures of these people before.
Are there all gnarled up and curled?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Of course it can't keep them straight. His fingernails are
longer than an adult giraffe, not the neck, the whole
body of a giraffe. He measures his fingernails at nineteen
feet six inches.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
That is so gross.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
He hasn't cut them in order to twenty years.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
This is twice in two podcasts we've talked about fingernails.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Well, that's right. Yesterday we were selling them the clippings. Anyway,
he talks about and I don't even understand this. He
was going he wanted to become a teacher to look
and he wanted his fingernails longer to look more majestic.
I don't know what that means. But his dad talked
him out of teaching, but he kept growing his fingernails anyway.
And he says, you have to be very careful if
(22:44):
it rains. I got to make sure that they're dry
at all times because if they get wet, they'll fall
right off. I can't bump into anyone at any point
because they'll break them. So for thirty years he can't
touch anybody.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
What it was our word of the day.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Oh made me just forget it. I know it has
to do with luxury. Yes, the word of the day.
Some arretics, some verretic.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
This is the posted child of some vertic lifestyle. He
lives in the lap of luxury. He can't do anything
for himself. Come feed me, feed me, Come help me
urinate somebody wipe behinee. This is this is the the
(23:33):
gnarled up fingernail version of the Roman Empire. Overweight naked
women lying around eating fruit out of a bowl.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
How they get so fat eating fruit?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Somebody who has told some chocolate in there, I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Sure of it. They never showed them eating chocolate. Yeah,
they only showed them eating fruit.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
And for some reason, grapes is the official fruit of fact.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
To be overweight was the status symbol. It's like having
a Mercedes in the driveway. My wife is overweight, of
course she has. She doesn't do anything other than lie
around in the lap of luxury.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Dave Ramsey would say, a paid off mortgage, you will so,
Dave Ramsey would say, the Dave Ramseys of the world.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, she doesn't worry about keeping anything in the envelopes.
This guy hasn't done anything productive since he was what
ever in his life because when he was three, his
fingernails were already four inches long. I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
He said he started growing him because he wanted to
be a teacher, to look more majestic.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Maybe, okay, I wanted to that.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I mean maybe in Vietnam. If you've got like three
four inch nails, that makes you look majestic, I don't know.
To me, it makes you look like a cocaine abuser.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Rose I would not want to be in the room
with that person.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Well, if you want to see a video of said weirdo,
we have that on the Morning Rest blog, and maybe
you can tell us about your weird hobbies. The great debate, Jonathan,
is it okay to become friends with your children?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I am now thankfully. I enjoy this much more.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Let's talk about your twelve year old. Can that's your friend?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
You can't be a friend to a twelve year old?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
At what age?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Can you become twenty one?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Twenty one?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Or they get if they don't go to college and
they already get out of high school, they get a
job and they're no longer under your roof, and they're
doing all the things that they do as a young
person and live in their life. That's when you can
become their friend. So you're saying, once they move out
of the house, once they get out of the house,
get their own job. Maybe you know, so they are
self sufficient. Let's put it that way. They're self sufficient,
(25:38):
and you've already raised them because you've got a limit
to time to raise them, and then their personality is
pretty much going to dictate their life unfortunately, so you've
got to make sure you spend that those impressionable years
intently on raising your child. What would you slightly you'll
want to be their friend? What would you say to.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
The parents who I hear their argument? It often is
I want to be their friend so that they'll trust
me and that then I can help guide them.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You know, Okay, I wish that would that easy. It's not.
You can't just be their friend and they you know
how many friends are going to cycle in and out
of in their life. Those are the people you want
guiding your kid. You have to spend that time intently
putting them on their path. And even if they go,
(26:28):
like the Bible says, even if they go astray, you
raise them up the way and they will they will
come back to the mindset that you raise them in.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
