She's been charged with a second degreeattempted murder. Sty've been married for
fifty years North Miami Beach, fiftyyears. So she found this thing?

Maybe. I mean, he hada postcard from an X from six decades
ago. You know, why'd youkeep it? I she did? Man?
She you know, I she said, yeah, I did it,
and her mugshot, She's like,yeah, I did it. That's what
her mugshot looks like. So Idon't know the situation. I don't know
(01:34):
the history of you know, butman, that's that is new fifty years
and she finds it from sixty yearsago. So I don't know. Maybe
there's something you know more there,But man, she did she bout a
damn near killed him. She whoopedhim. Was there no time in the
fifty years that she was proven toher he loves her? Yeah, I
(01:57):
don't. I mean, I don'tknow. Man. That's I feel like
we're gonna need more on this story. We're gonna you know, a Florida
man stole a large Snoop Dogg bobbleheadfrom a Mexican restaurant and he was charged.
He was in Fort Myers. Ithappened at Cantina Laredo, and he
was caught on surveillance video stealing thebobblehead from the hostess station and then he
(02:20):
walked off to his vehicle. Nowthat wasn't just any normal bobblehead. That
bobblehead was one two hundred fifty dollarsmm hmm. Guy's charged with grand theft
a twelve hundred dollars bobblehead. Ohmy gosh. So then there's this guy,
a man arrested in Florida accused oftaking a happy stick figure sculpture because
(02:45):
he liked it. His name isJoshua Roach. He was arrested Tuesday this
week in a Martin County and hewas spotted and police responded. He was
spotted acting suspicious and walking around withthis large piece of artwork. When they
arrived, they said, it lookedlike you had two large poles and it
was a part of a bigger pieceof artwork that he took from a business.
(03:06):
It was a large red stick figurewith a happy face. He's got
a history of theft and burglary.He admitted to doing it, and he
goes, yeah, because I likedit, And so he faces a charge
of theft. The police officers placedthe artwork on the front of their vehicle.
They took it back to the stationso they could return it to the
business. It literally is just acouple of polls. There's got to be
(03:29):
something else wrong with this dude.Why would you take that? He's like,
I just like it. I justlike it. That's all I did.
I just I liked it. Thisschool pickup lines are fascinating, you
know, I mean, lots ofstuff goes down at these things, and
I'm never I'm always endlessly amused atwhat some of some of the parents do.
(03:51):
Like the mom this mom, Floridamom was banned from dropping kids off
at her Christian school because she hasan only Fans add on her car.
Oh yeah, oh Man, CentralFlorida. She's not allowed to drop our
kids off at the private Christian schoolbecause of the giant ad for her OnlyFans
account on her vehicle. So Iguess it's not a believer school. I
(04:12):
don't know. The mom says thatthe school's making her park across the street,
which forces her kids to cross abusy road. She says, that
is unless she takes the ad forthe adult content site off of her car.
I'm not telling you what her nameis, and they she goes by
a different name to promoter content.But it's literally a giant decal that,
oh my gosh, and there goeson that stretches entirely across the vehicle's back
(04:38):
windshield. You don't see the lastpart. It could say only fans of
God dot com. Sure Kane couldsay, yeah, it's a liberty Christian
prep and parents are like, wedo not want to see this. This
is insane, this is adult content. We don't want to see this advertising
this school drop offline. And itis a huge I mean, it's the
whole back when the whole backshield wherea shame is where these days like you're
(05:02):
putting only fans decal in your backwindow of your grocery getting and then your
shocked because wow, like i'd sendmy kids to a question on school.
I can't even advertise my elephants onmy car. Wow, Like you're shocked
about that. You're shocked at theChristian school you send your kids too,
would have that kind of a role. Yeah, I thought this was a
(05:23):
mark on these It's like talking toNPCs, these people, I can't as
we move our partners over at HillsdaleCollege, an actual educational institution and they're
there to make sure people learn.Still, thank Heavens this if you've ever
been there. Hillsdale is a smallChristian, classical liberal arts college. It's
in southern Michigan, and they havebeen really trying to focus on this crisis
(05:47):
in American education, a national crisis, people are just not taught about our
American heritage or for instance, thedifference between natural or civil rights. So
they've been producing these sixty second radiospots called Constitution and there's short clear lessons
on the principles of liberty. Andyou can reserve your free pocket copy,
your free pocket Constitution of copy ofthat when you go to Dana four fo
(06:09):
or Hillsdale dot com and learn everythingabout just the founding of our country.
They have the Constitution Minutes, theyhave the Pocket Constitution. They also have
deep dives on a lot of discussionslike the founding of the country when the
Declaration of Independence was drafted so much, and they educate everyone irrespective of any
identity politics. It's only merit andcharacter do you hear Constitution minute. Visit
(06:30):
Dana four f O R Hillsdale dotcom and while you're there, reserve your
free copy of your pocket Constitution courtesyof Hillsdale. That's Dana four f R
Hillsdale dot com. Mister Speaker Walgreenis planning the close yet another pharmacy in
the Massachusetts seventh this time on WarrenStreet in Roxbury, a community that is
(06:56):
eighty five percent black and Latino.This closure is a part of a larger
trend of abandoning low income communities,like the previous closures in Mattapan and Hyde
Park, both in the Massachusetts seventhWhen a Walgreens leaves a neighborhood, they
disrupt the entire community and they takethem and they take with them baby formula,
diapers, asthma hailers, life savingmedications, and of course jobs.
(07:19):
These closures are not arbitrary, andthey are not innocent. They are life
threatening acts of racial and economic discrimination. It's because of the crime. It's
because it's there's there's major crime that'shappening. Does she not realize what?
(07:44):
No, she doesn't. Welcome backto the program. Bottom of the second
hour, Dane Lash here with you. She's blasting it because she says,
oh, it's it's She said thatit's racist to close it because it is
impossible for them to remain. Butthey were actually going to close I think
a little earlier, but it wasdelayed. It's one of eighteen locations across
(08:07):
Boston. And they say that theuh, it's the trend. They said,
it's the it's the it's the criminalelement. I mean, they've got
a lot of theft, and Imean good grief. I mean, have
you been into some of those stores, like, I mean, like basic
things because bad economy and restorative justiceencouraging criminality has made for a very dangerous
(08:33):
result. I mean, that's ultimatelywhat this is. And they've got basic
stuff that's like now behind lock andlock and key. Now. But what
did you think was going to happen? I mean, what did you what
did you think that was going tohappen when you were screaming about defunding the
police and pushing restorative justice that wouldreduce felonies down to like risk slapping,
(08:58):
mist means, et cetera, etcetera. I mean, what did you
They act like that this is theresult. They act like, Oh,
it's just because Walgreens is racist,that's what it's. They act like they're
they're they're closing stores that have massivelosses. This is why we have such
an economical literacy in this country.Massive losses, theft, I mean all
(09:22):
of it. I mean, whenyou have a business, the purpose of
a business is to be in business. That's the truth of it. Welfare
doesn't exist, Walgreens doesn't exist asa way to provide your welfare. You're
not gonna have people work in Walgreensfor free. You're not gonna have the
(09:43):
loss with theft and and the scareof violence that reduces traffic uh and reduces
purchase power at the store. You'renot What are you just gonna have like
people provide stuff for free, loadstuff in the store for free, work
for free, run the till forfree. I mean, that's stupid that
she sounds like someone who's never everhad to work a late night shift at
(10:07):
a store that's ever been crime plagued. It is It is not Walgreens' job
to absorb the losses that are duefrom societal breakdown. It is not walgreens
job to absorb the losses brought onby people like Ariana Presley who refuse to
(10:28):
hold criminals accountable. The fact thatit is a predominantly black neighborhoods, that
doesn't mean a thing. I haveseen stores like that closed in white neighborhoods,
rural areas where it's just white people. It has nothing to do with
race. It's business. If youdon't want stores closing, then maybe stop
(10:50):
people from stealing. Maybe stop thecrime. Nobody wants to see a store
close. But you know what,I bet people would like to live peacefully
and not with the threat of crimeall the damn time. I bet people
would like to work at Walgreens atnight and now worried about you know,
people coming in and ransacking shelves.Have you seen some of it. You've
seen some of the video out there, not just Walgreens, but all these
(11:13):
other stores. That's what they're tryingto avoid. You're not gonna sit here
and emotionally blackmail these businesses into operatingat a loss while you refuse to hold
the people that make that scenario orreality hold them accountable. It's not how
we do things. It's not howwe're gonna do things, So goofy.
(11:33):
I mean, it's lawn order fora reason. Our partner's over at cl
Tech. The Sub two K Genthree I the Gen three is super cool.
I mean, I love the Subtwo K period. I mean,
this is kel Tech. It's awesomeinnovation and they do things that are I
mean that you just and you realize, well, why did you not have
these things to begin with? Afterthey do it, nine milimeter carbine awesome
(11:56):
and it's just a super innovative,uh. I mean to firearm. You
got to have in your collection ifyou don't already, if you if you
have these Gen two Sub two K, you need the Gen three because they've
really upped the game with it.You have the simple twist and fold motion.
You have this patent pending rotating forin so you can twist in either
direction and it folds the whole thingin half, optics and all, and
(12:16):
you can easily deploy it. Youknow, just this, you know,
just with the same minimal effort.But the previously you had to take the
optics and all that off. Youdon't have to know with the Gen three.
They've also redesigned the operating handle.You got add a comfort lighting action,
easy to rack, ambidextrous, boltholeopen all for all providing improved manipulation.
Got a new chamber indicator. There'sall kinds of stuff. And this
(12:37):
one right now ships in the glocknineteen configuration, so it also takes max
from the glock seventeen. They gotmore on that, More coming on that
later. This is all made inAmerica, Family owned values at their best.

sends you and now all of thenews you would probably miss for Dana's quick
(13:01):
five. So, Florida residents whoidentify as transgender are barred from changing their
gender on driver's licenses because you can'tlie on government docs. Guys. I
mean you can't. You have to. You can't lie on a government You
can't be like, oh no,I'm actually a We're gonna talk about this
more because the reaction to this isinsane. You can't lie on that stuff.
(13:24):
I mean that's you know, whyis why is that so shocking?
This is I can't. Man,poor Steve, he lives in DC,
He's got to live with us.Gang related music videos are being accused of
driving gun violence in DC. Sowait, yeah, A new report says
that DC gang members that are makingmusic videos taunting their rivals on social media
(13:50):
are the now primary drivers of gunviolence quote unquot gun violence in the nation's
capital. I mean, it's stillcriminal misuse, that's the driver. But
they're saying that they're now incorporating excuseme, making music videos as part of
it. That's like, I mean, who needs diss tracks on MTV anymore.
(14:11):
I guess you know, like whoyou just do it yourself. The
Criminal Justice Coordinating Consul, it's thisindependent government agency. They were the ones
who interviewed more than seventy Metro policeofficers. And okay, I need to
ask that what is a violence interruptthat's like an actual Steve you're in DC.
That's a thing, a violence interrupt. I'm here to interrupt the violence.
(14:33):
Really shack, that's how that goesswack. You're here to your violence
interruption was just interrupted. I feellike that that's probably like a difficult to
ensure position. Incredible maps reveal wherein the body different types of music are
felt, from sad songs in yourchest to happy tunes in your toes.
(14:54):
This is I don't know who didthis. Do you really need to know
this information? Do you need thisbrain space to store this? Do you
really? Or maybe could you useit for something else? I don't know,
but they said scientists have done thestudy. They've revealed where in the
body different types of music are felt. Okay, that's great. The messenger
they shut down, they're gone,and apparently they didn't tell any of the
staff before they totally flamed out.Yeah, they just literally just closed.
(15:18):
It was less than a year afterthey opened. Three hundred people out of
a job. Part of this isbecause these digital entities start up and they
expand so fast that they cannot keepup with the overhead, and their content
doesn't match the overhead, or thetraffic doesn't match the overhead, and they
do it. So this happened sooften in the digital space. So a
(15:39):
woman peas in the aisle of aFlorida flight, she is charged. She
actually could we where the bathroom wasoccupied. It was a Philadelphia woman.
She's sixty years old and it wason a flight from Orlando to Philly.
The US Attorney's Office for Pennsylvania announced. So she's being charged. And speaking
of being charged or rather not,do you remember the dude who made the
(16:03):
gay romantical X rated video in theCapitol? Yeah, that guy's not getting
charged. Nobody's getting charged. We'regonna talk Yeah, wait to tell you
about this. We're gonna talk aboutthat when we come back. We need.
I was we were talking about JohnFetterman and how he at least like
people like him, they know thatthe border's a problem. You know.
He spent the weekend standing on arooftop trolling people holding thear Israeli flag,
(16:26):
and we were wondering how in theworld, like, what's happening. He
wore a hoodie with a tuxedo designafter Babylon Be was joking about it.
He shared a date night pick withhis wife, Giselle, So I guess
there's still because a lot of peoplewere wondering she deleted, was deleting photos,
et cetera. He said rumors oftheir separation was outrageous. So he
(16:49):
was with his wife and they hada date night thing and he was in
a hoodie, a tux hoodie.Okay, well, good good, then
I mean he's seems like he's cane. So that he had a stroke and
he came back a little more based. Right, he stood on a rooftop.
You would find the video stood ona rooftop just waving the flag.
People were yelling screaming at him.Hmm. Interesting. And apparently one of
(17:14):
the reasons why the wife started deletingphotos is because some people are saying she
was getting targeted because he was supportiveof Israel and they were targeting her as
a result of it. So shestarted taking photos down. Oh the way
that the leftist media puts at hisrabbit support, which is yeah, whatever
that means, can't just be support, Yeah yeah, yeah, I just
(17:36):
can't be support, has to berabbit support, which is just asinine.
So that I don't know, itjust seems I feel like because they had
the I mean, he literally madethe Babylon Beast story come alive. A
bi some sentate dress cud with formalhoodie. I don't care that he wears
a hoodie. I don't care nowbecause he's actually seems like a normal Democrat.
(18:00):
Not that I agree with him moreor that he's he's he's he's landed
on the right decision about the borderand about Israel's right of self defense.
And I'm sure we agree on allthe same policies that we would disagree or
disagree on all the same policies wewere disagreeing on. But he's not like
Rashieta Talib, He's not like illinOmar. He's not a nut job at
(18:22):
least he doesn't seem like that.It seems like he's, you know,
healing, unlike Joe Biden. Ohboy, all right, A couple of
other things I wanted to touch on, Caane, have you ever wondered why
there are so many why so manyrobots are white? Uh? I have
never worried about that or wondered aboutthat. I literally heard a collective what
(18:47):
did you just say from the audienceout there? Robots are white? Yeah?
So apparently that's a new hot takefrom the journal class m h okay.
They said that there's now problems ofracial and gender bias in AI algorithms
and data used to train language modelslike chat GPT, And they said that
(19:07):
there is now a sub field ofsocial robotic but they're going to try to
make robotics woke. Subfield of socialrobotics called socially assistive robotics, and the
whole entire purpose is to interact evermorewith diverse groups of people. Because they
said that robots seem too white.I'm not even kidding you. How do
(19:30):
you gauge that? I have noidea, I mean me not being a
robotics expert. I just I justdon't know how you gauge something like that.
I don't Either it's either in commonsense or it's either you know that
it's an effective robot with operational systems, or it isn't. Like what why
(19:52):
does race have anything to do withit? They're saying that the idea that
the idea of of uh. Ican't believe we're having this conversation racial AI
is because of the developers, thepeople who develop them, and you know,
maybe they're so Wait, are youmad that the robots are white?
Are you mad that you think thatmost of the developers are why? I
(20:18):
don't understand. This is so dumb. This is something that you that you
create as a problem when you haveeverything else solved, right, when you
don't have an issue at the border, when you don't have an opioid epidemic,
when you don't have the world fallingapart on either side of the US,
when everything else is solved, thisis the issue that you're like,
Wow, I need a problem,I need busy work. I'm just going
(20:40):
to make up this problem. Robotsare white? Why are they so white?
White? Robots so white? Inever even thought that. Who thinks
that. Who looks at a robotand is like, you're white? Who
does that? Well, white personlooks like a robot? Okay, that
one guy who's trying to bioengineer hisbody, I'll give you that. He
looks like a borg, but youknow still. Thanks for tuning in to

a little earlier, but it wasdelayed. It's one of eighteen locations across
(08:07):
Boston. And they say that theuh, it's the trend. They said,
it's the it's the it's the criminalelement. I mean, they've got
a lot of theft, and Imean good grief. I mean, have
you been into some of those stores, like, I mean, like basic
things because bad economy and restorative justiceencouraging criminality has made for a very dangerous
(08:33):
result. I mean, that's ultimatelywhat this is. And they've got basic
stuff that's like now behind lock andlock and key. Now. But what
did you think was going to happen? I mean, what did you what
did you think that was going tohappen when you were screaming about defunding the
police and pushing restorative justice that wouldreduce felonies down to like risk slapping,
(08:58):
mist means, et cetera, etcetera. I mean, what did you
They act like that this is theresult. They act like, Oh,
it's just because Walgreens is racist,that's what it's. They act like they're
they're they're closing stores that have massivelosses. This is why we have such
an economical literacy in this country.Massive losses, theft, I mean all
(09:22):
of it. I mean, whenyou have a business, the purpose of
a business is to be in business. That's the truth of it. Welfare
doesn't exist, Walgreens doesn't exist asa way to provide your welfare. You're
not gonna have people work in Walgreensfor free. You're not gonna have the
(09:43):
loss with theft and and the scareof violence that reduces traffic uh and reduces
purchase power at the store. You'renot What are you just gonna have like
people provide stuff for free, loadstuff in the store for free, work
for free, run the till forfree. I mean, that's stupid that
she sounds like someone who's never everhad to work a late night shift at
(10:07):
a store that's ever been crime plagued. It is It is not Walgreens' job
to absorb the losses that are duefrom societal breakdown. It is not walgreens
job to absorb the losses brought onby people like Ariana Presley who refuse to
(10:28):
hold criminals accountable. The fact thatit is a predominantly black neighborhoods, that
doesn't mean a thing. I haveseen stores like that closed in white neighborhoods,
rural areas where it's just white people. It has nothing to do with
race. It's business. If youdon't want stores closing, then maybe stop
(10:50):
people from stealing. Maybe stop thecrime. Nobody wants to see a store
close. But you know what,I bet people would like to live peacefully
and not with the threat of crimeall the damn time. I bet people
would like to work at Walgreens atnight and now worried about you know,
people coming in and ransacking shelves.Have you seen some of it. You've
seen some of the video out there, not just Walgreens, but all these
(11:13):
other stores. That's what they're tryingto avoid. You're not gonna sit here
and emotionally blackmail these businesses into operatingat a loss while you refuse to hold
the people that make that scenario orreality hold them accountable. It's not how
we do things. It's not howwe're gonna do things, So goofy.
(11:33):
I mean, it's lawn order fora reason. Our partner's over at cl
Tech. The Sub two K Genthree I the Gen three is super cool.
I mean, I love the Subtwo K period. I mean,
this is kel Tech. It's awesomeinnovation and they do things that are I
mean that you just and you realize, well, why did you not have
these things to begin with? Afterthey do it, nine milimeter carbine awesome
(11:56):
and it's just a super innovative,uh. I mean to firearm. You
got to have in your collection ifyou don't already, if you if you
have these Gen two Sub two K, you need the Gen three because they've
really upped the game with it.You have the simple twist and fold motion.
You have this patent pending rotating forin so you can twist in either
direction and it folds the whole thingin half, optics and all, and
(12:16):
you can easily deploy it. Youknow, just this, you know,
just with the same minimal effort.But the previously you had to take the
optics and all that off. Youdon't have to know with the Gen three.
They've also redesigned the operating handle.You got add a comfort lighting action,
easy to rack, ambidextrous, boltholeopen all for all providing improved manipulation.
Got a new chamber indicator. There'sall kinds of stuff. And this
(12:37):
one right now ships in the glocknineteen configuration, so it also takes max
from the glock seventeen. They gotmore on that, More coming on that
later. This is all made inAmerica, Family owned values at their best.

(13:01):
five. So, Florida residents whoidentify as transgender are barred from changing their
gender on driver's licenses because you can'tlie on government docs. Guys. I
mean you can't. You have to. You can't lie on a government You
can't be like, oh no,I'm actually a We're gonna talk about this
more because the reaction to this isinsane. You can't lie on that stuff.
(13:24):
I mean that's you know, whyis why is that so shocking?
This is I can't. Man,poor Steve, he lives in DC,
He's got to live with us.Gang related music videos are being accused of
driving gun violence in DC. Sowait, yeah, A new report says
that DC gang members that are makingmusic videos taunting their rivals on social media
(13:50):
are the now primary drivers of gunviolence quote unquot gun violence in the nation's
capital. I mean, it's stillcriminal misuse, that's the driver. But
they're saying that they're now incorporating excuseme, making music videos as part of
it. That's like, I mean, who needs diss tracks on MTV anymore.
(14:11):
I guess you know, like whoyou just do it yourself. The
Criminal Justice Coordinating Consul, it's thisindependent government agency. They were the ones
who interviewed more than seventy Metro policeofficers. And okay, I need to
ask that what is a violence interruptthat's like an actual Steve you're in DC.
That's a thing, a violence interrupt. I'm here to interrupt the violence.
(14:33):
Really shack, that's how that goesswack. You're here to your violence
interruption was just interrupted. I feellike that that's probably like a difficult to
ensure position. Incredible maps reveal wherein the body different types of music are
felt, from sad songs in yourchest to happy tunes in your toes.
(14:54):
This is I don't know who didthis. Do you really need to know
this information? Do you need thisbrain space to store this? Do you
really? Or maybe could you useit for something else? I don't know,
but they said scientists have done thestudy. They've revealed where in the
body different types of music are felt. Okay, that's great. The messenger
they shut down, they're gone,and apparently they didn't tell any of the
staff before they totally flamed out.Yeah, they just literally just closed.
(15:18):
It was less than a year afterthey opened. Three hundred people out of
a job. Part of this isbecause these digital entities start up and they
expand so fast that they cannot keepup with the overhead, and their content
doesn't match the overhead, or thetraffic doesn't match the overhead, and they
do it. So this happened sooften in the digital space. So a
(15:39):
woman peas in the aisle of aFlorida flight, she is charged. She
actually could we where the bathroom wasoccupied. It was a Philadelphia woman.
She's sixty years old and it wason a flight from Orlando to Philly.
The US Attorney's Office for Pennsylvania announced. So she's being charged. And speaking
of being charged or rather not,do you remember the dude who made the
(16:03):
gay romantical X rated video in theCapitol? Yeah, that guy's not getting
charged. Nobody's getting charged. We'regonna talk Yeah, wait to tell you
about this. We're gonna talk aboutthat when we come back. We need.
I was we were talking about JohnFetterman and how he at least like
people like him, they know thatthe border's a problem. You know.
He spent the weekend standing on arooftop trolling people holding thear Israeli flag,
(16:26):
and we were wondering how in theworld, like, what's happening. He
wore a hoodie with a tuxedo designafter Babylon Be was joking about it.
He shared a date night pick withhis wife, Giselle, So I guess
there's still because a lot of peoplewere wondering she deleted, was deleting photos,
et cetera. He said rumors oftheir separation was outrageous. So he
(16:49):
was with his wife and they hada date night thing and he was in
a hoodie, a tux hoodie.Okay, well, good good, then
I mean he's seems like he's cane. So that he had a stroke and
he came back a little more based. Right, he stood on a rooftop.
You would find the video stood ona rooftop just waving the flag.
People were yelling screaming at him.Hmm. Interesting. And apparently one of
(17:14):
the reasons why the wife started deletingphotos is because some people are saying she
was getting targeted because he was supportiveof Israel and they were targeting her as
a result of it. So shestarted taking photos down. Oh the way
that the leftist media puts at hisrabbit support, which is yeah, whatever
that means, can't just be support, Yeah yeah, yeah, I just
(17:36):
can't be support, has to berabbit support, which is just asinine.
So that I don't know, itjust seems I feel like because they had
the I mean, he literally madethe Babylon Beast story come alive. A
bi some sentate dress cud with formalhoodie. I don't care that he wears
a hoodie. I don't care nowbecause he's actually seems like a normal Democrat.
(18:00):
Not that I agree with him moreor that he's he's he's he's landed
on the right decision about the borderand about Israel's right of self defense.
And I'm sure we agree on allthe same policies that we would disagree or
disagree on all the same policies wewere disagreeing on. But he's not like
Rashieta Talib, He's not like illinOmar. He's not a nut job at
(18:22):
least he doesn't seem like that.It seems like he's, you know,
healing, unlike Joe Biden. Ohboy, all right, A couple of
other things I wanted to touch on, Caane, have you ever wondered why
there are so many why so manyrobots are white? Uh? I have
never worried about that or wondered aboutthat. I literally heard a collective what
(18:47):
did you just say from the audienceout there? Robots are white? Yeah?
So apparently that's a new hot takefrom the journal class m h okay.
They said that there's now problems ofracial and gender bias in AI algorithms
and data used to train language modelslike chat GPT, And they said that
(19:07):
there is now a sub field ofsocial robotic but they're going to try to
make robotics woke. Subfield of socialrobotics called socially assistive robotics, and the
whole entire purpose is to interact evermorewith diverse groups of people. Because they
said that robots seem too white.I'm not even kidding you. How do
(19:30):
you gauge that? I have noidea, I mean me not being a
robotics expert. I just I justdon't know how you gauge something like that.
I don't Either it's either in commonsense or it's either you know that
it's an effective robot with operational systems, or it isn't. Like what why
(19:52):
does race have anything to do withit? They're saying that the idea that
the idea of of uh. Ican't believe we're having this conversation racial AI
is because of the developers, thepeople who develop them, and you know,
maybe they're so Wait, are youmad that the robots are white?
Are you mad that you think thatmost of the developers are why? I
(20:18):
don't understand. This is so dumb. This is something that you that you
create as a problem when you haveeverything else solved, right, when you
don't have an issue at the border, when you don't have an opioid epidemic,
when you don't have the world fallingapart on either side of the US,
when everything else is solved, thisis the issue that you're like,
Wow, I need a problem,I need busy work. I'm just going
(20:40):
to make up this problem. Robotsare white? Why are they so white?
White? Robots so white? Inever even thought that. Who thinks
that. Who looks at a robotand is like, you're white? Who
does that? Well, white personlooks like a robot? Okay, that
one guy who's trying to bioengineer hisbody, I'll give you that. He
looks like a borg, but youknow still. Thanks for tuning in to
