Somehow.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We are two weeks from Christmas, but just last week

the weeks are dragging on. I have no idea how
it works. This is the weirdest time of year.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
And so you go and you're like, oh, listen, doc,

the doc says, yeah, look at that. You're distended. Your

(01:53):
little something going on in there. And you think, oh, no,
doct just give me the news.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
How bad is it? Well, it depends on your perspective.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
A baby defying all odds after an unexpected and rare
abdominal pregnancy. Baby Ryu's birth came just days after his
mother learned she was pregnant.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Every day is a gift and I'm never gonna waste it.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Susie Lopez, a nurse in Bakersfield, California, took a routine
pregnancy test before a procedure to remove a twenty pound
ovarian cyst.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Oh Man.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Twenty pounds cyst oh doesn't matter if there's a baby
in there or not.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
She feels pregnant.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
That had been growing for years.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Oh, sure enough, after seventeen years of not being pregnant,
not having regular periods.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
It was a positive pregnancy test.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
She's thinking this test is wrong.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
She soon started to experience pain in her abdomen, so
she and her husband rushed to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
As soon as we got in.
Speaker 9 (02:49):
They checked her in and the rest is history.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Doctors ordered an MRI and were stunned.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
It was the baby. You think the doctors were stying
dad's feeling. How do you should know something?
Speaker 8 (03:03):
It was the baby growing in her abdomen behind the
mask that was pushing everything out.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So that's the reason she didn't know she was pregnant.
Speaker 10 (03:10):
It was slow, profound to see this full term baby
sitting behind a very large ovarian tumor not in the uterus.
Speaker 9 (03:19):
So this was confirmed as.
Speaker 10 (03:21):
An abdominal pregnancy, which is obviously a very extreme event.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, obviously, I get I don't know anything about it.
Is that something that Nikki, Is that something that women
just know like, oh, that would be an extreme event.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Like, dudes are like, I don't know, babies in the belly.
Speaker 11 (03:35):
Generally, we're pretty in tune with our bodies, I feel,
so maybe she just wasn't in tune.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Well, I mean, she had the giant cyst. I get that.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
But if somebody said, hey, you have an abdominal pregnancy,
would you know right away that that was bad?
Speaker 12 (03:49):
Is it not meant to be in your womb? So yeah,
no it is.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
See, but we're dudes, We're like, I don't know, it's
the belly region.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
We don't know. We don't. Yeah, I don't. I mean,
I don't all these things. I'm just like, what do
you mean?
Speaker 12 (04:02):
It's not But she had.
Speaker 11 (04:03):
Some other medical issues like lack of instuation, so she
her body was a bit all over the place.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
So poor woman, Yeah, poor woman is right.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Susie had what's known as an abdominal of topic pregnancy,
which is rare and life threatening for both the mother
and fetus. I took a team of thirty to undertake
the surgery of removing the cyst and delivering her baby.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I'm always confused by these surgeries. They take thirty people,
because at some point, don't you have too many cooks
in the kitchen.
Speaker 11 (04:31):
Well, usually with ectopic pregnancies you have to terminate because
they're not viable. So the fact that she had an
abdomin an ectopic pregnancy and was able to carry it
to term, that's very remarkable.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Okay. See, I don't know these things. I don't have
any idea.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I'm just like the babies in there and then it
comes out down there, and.
Speaker 12 (04:49):
Then do you even know how babies are made?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
True story. When I was little, my parents never did
the whole stork thing. They never did that. But for
some reason, I got in my head that babies came
out of the bottom of women's feet. I don't know why,
but you know, I mean we're talking like four or
five years old here. I mean I was little, but
(05:14):
for whatever reason, just in my head. You know, I
was three when my brother was born, and at some
point I must have said something about how how great
it was the mom was walking again or something like that,
and I just in my head babies came out of feet.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Which foot left or right?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
It depended on the gender.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
Yeah, so which for which.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I don't remember. That's a good question. Right foot, right
foot boy, left.
Speaker 11 (05:42):
Foot girl would be so much easier if we birthed
through our feet, you think so, yes.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Just walking around on walking around on that feet of
all day. Oh that's good. Yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Like you got a little dirt in your sock or something,
you're just kind of just kind of chake was Jean?
Speaker 12 (06:01):
Isn't it no need for a tummy tuck?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Oh the boy, you're right about that. Imagine a way
people would end up with club foot though things don't
go right? All right, carry on, ABC, who oh there
it is.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
He weighed eight pounds and is in remarkably good help.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah eight pounds, that's that's normal, right. I don't have
any idea how much your babies.
Speaker 12 (06:22):
That's pretty us on the biggest side for a baby.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
It is, okay, I was ten pounds four ounces.
Speaker 12 (06:27):
That's huge. Yeah, imagine what your pull mother.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I know, imagine her toes.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
God gave me this baby so that he could be
an example to the world that God exists, that modern
day miracles still happen.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Well, modern medicine is the answer to their years of
praying for a second child.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Oh that's great. I love that. I love that it is.
I'm always amazed when.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
We have stories such as this or you know, even
Foosh in his the doctor saved his arm, and he's
talked numerous times about how, you know, after the car accident,
how bad it was, and how much praise he's heaped
on to the staff that saved his arm. You know,
they were contemplating amputating it. I'm always amazed at modern
(07:09):
medicine because I think of things like that that happened today,
and I just think what would have happened twenty years ago,
what would have happened thirty years ago?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And so she's like, you know, it's a modern miracle. Okay,
it is modern miracle, aided heavily by that staff of
thirty people all putting their hands in your belly while
they were pulling out both assists. A twenty pounds, The
cyst was twenty two pounds. The cyst weighed nearly three
times as much as the baby, So when she got done,
(07:38):
she was thirty pounds lighter.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Did I do the math right? Eight pound baby twenty
two pounds, sist.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
That's a pretty good weight loss plan. So good for her.
That is amazing. Oh yeah, oh here we go. Abdominal
actopic pregnancies are extremely rare, highly dangerous because the fetus
attaches to organs not designed to support pregnancy. Okay, I
feel like they should have taught me this stuff in
health class.
Speaker 12 (08:03):
So was the baby growing in her Filippian.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Tubes outside yic.
Speaker 12 (08:10):
Yeah, that's a miracle, baby, It really is.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Because uh because I I mean, the womb is supposed
to provide all those nutrients and everything else.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Right. Yeah, wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Mom and the baby both survived the procedure, stable condition.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Baby seems to be doing well.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You heard you heard the audio of the baby crying,
and then I saw some photos too.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
The baby looks baby looks very healthy. It's amazing. So
that's awesome. Love that seeing we're getting there.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Even though Mark ruined my entire day by telling me
it wasn't Friday.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It could have been worse. I could have given you
an ectopic pregnancy.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
There's still time. Look on the bright side.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Be a glass half yeah, filoppian tube half full type
of guy.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I feel like we've already learned a lot today, So
thank you everyone, Thank you. What do we learned?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Chris doesn't know the female anatomy at all. My understanding
is that women also have something else called a g spot.
But I think this is a fake, This is a
total fago. That's a myth too, right, No, want to
open that door there. I've never I've never met a woman.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
That sad one, Yeah, it's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
How did I not end up with a foot finish
when I got older? What I mean, does it seem
like that that would have been in my wheelhouse?
Speaker 12 (09:26):
It will lead Tarantino.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh yeah, all right, speaking of good news, We've got
a city now that is bracing for darkness, getting ready
for chaos. True criminals and masterminds among us. This criminal
underworld in Los Angeles is going wild today. But we
(09:49):
got the hero that we need, maybe not the hero
that we deserve.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Chris Meryl, you're listening to KFI A six demand.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Was talking with the gang here off the air because
they they didn't believe me when I was little, and
if you missed it, when I was living just joining us.
When I was little, I used to think the babies
came out of mom's feet.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I was. But didn't you.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Guys ever have anything when you were young that was like,
I mean, like absurdly wrong.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Nothing I want to admit to on the air.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
Yeah, I was gonna say, like, can I keep that
to yourself?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Well, because you know why kids are we just don't know, right,
And I look, it's the dumb kid, all right. It
was a dumb little kid, all right.
Speaker 12 (10:39):
Well mine's really banal.
Speaker 11 (10:41):
But I just I used to think that if I
got anything under my fingernails, I would die.
Speaker 12 (10:46):
So when I was very really, where'd.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
That come from? That's got to be some sort of
a psychological.
Speaker 12 (10:51):
Yeah, anxiety.
Speaker 11 (10:52):
When I was like, yeah, when I was like three
or four years old, I got I had a shower
or bath and I got soap under my thumbnail and
I freaked out, crying, hysterical because I legitimately thought that
means I would die. And my parents didn't know what
was wrong with me. They thought they knew that she's anxious,
but they I never said what exactly was bothering me?
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I didn't At some point they figured it out, right.
Speaker 12 (11:16):
They didn't know why I was upset.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Did once they had learned, did they did they have
a good laugh and tell you and reassure you or anything?
Speaker 12 (11:22):
No, nothing, I don't just sent.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You to bed and said, quit your crying, kid.
Speaker 12 (11:25):
Pretty much.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I love that you grow up in a place where
everything is actually trying to kill you, but your parents
don't reassure you about the things that aren't.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
That's great.
Speaker 11 (11:35):
Wow, spiders are like fluffy little puppy dogs.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
That's crazy. My uh, my son was like, ah, god,
how old was he?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Six? Seven years old?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
We're cleaning out the garage and and I went through
an old box and I and I had it.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
There was a blanket in there.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
And so my daughter was like seven, my son was
like six, and uh and I pulled an old blanket
out and I went, I said, oh, I said, I go,
this is a little weird. I said, this is the
blanket that my that my grandmother had over her when
she died.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
And they were like, oh my gosh. They were kind
of weirded out by it. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So we keep cleaning the garage and I pulled the
shelf out and I've got a little little box of
rat poison pellets that were in there, you know, we
had rats, mice, whatever, and my uh so it tipped
over and my son goes over there and he starts
picking them up and putting him back in the box.
And I turned around and I said, I go, huh,
don't do that, and he stops and he looks at
(12:37):
me and I go, you didn't touch that, did you?
And he said, yeah. I go, that's poison and he
you know, a little kid, then poison to them is just,
you know, whatever, it is deadly. So he goes and
I go, I go, you're gonna die now? Am I
the worst parent ever?
Speaker 11 (12:57):
That's exactly what it is like that children. I go,
so you say you're gonna die, that we believe.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
It, and that yeah, I go, that's poison. You're gonna
die now? He was what, No, No, When I go,
the only thing left to do is pick out a blanket? Mean,
so mean, And I look back and I think, and
then of course he was like no, And I went
and hugged it, and.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
My daughter was dying of laughter.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I mean, she thought it was the funniest thing that
I just convinced.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Her little brother. He was toast.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And I look back on it now and I think
I probably did some legit damage to him, and I
feel kind of bad about it, But also it was
really funny at the time, so I don't I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Am I just a horrible parent. Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, I kind of reflect back on that periodically, and
I just think, did I screw him up?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I probably did?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, but I look, I mis step dad always blame
his real father anything that's wrong with him.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
No, I'm like, I probably came from his dad. H Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Don't you hate when you're telling a story and halfway
through you realize you're the villain. Basically just happened to me,
all right, Curious if there's anything you believe when you
were a little that was kind of absurd? Hit us
up at the talk back on that one. Meanwhile, we've
got the LAPD cracking down on true crime.
Speaker 13 (14:13):
An LAPD sting operation caught on video has now gone viral.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh yeah, sting operation probably has a cool sting operation
code name, code name Viper sting operation code name it Kingpan.
Speaker 13 (14:37):
Yeah, showing police officers on bikes pulling over drivers in
Woodland Hills who failed to stop for pedestrians.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Oh yeah, what wait, even.
Speaker 13 (14:46):
If they're jaywalking?
Speaker 14 (14:49):
Okay, it's kind of silly I think from the LAPD
to be like doing this and kind of setting people
up here.
Speaker 13 (14:55):
It's believed the two people in the video crossing the
streeter officers in playing clothing. Next, several drivers continue through
without yielding. Get our given citations, and.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
When anybody drivers stop, they pull them over right away,
like they did this guy right here.
Speaker 13 (15:10):
The video was captured earlier this week on Ventura Boulevard
near Knoga Avenue, where the street curves and nearly half
a mile between legal crosswalks and traffic lights.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
All right, look, I get we want to reduce pedestrian accidents. Right,
I'm all, that's great. We need to reduce pedestrian accidents,
honest to God. Thought, I gotta feel like nine out
of ten pedestrian accidents are the pedestrians who are at fault.
(15:40):
And I know cars aren't stopping, But how many times
have you been driving down? This happens to me every
single day on the way to work. I'm driving down
and I drive through kind of a rough neighborhood to
get to work, and there's always someone who's not really
with it, tweaking a little bit, who's walking across the
middle of a five lane road. We're all supposed to stop.
(16:03):
Happened to me today. Happened to me today. Guy goes
out in the middle of the road and he throws
down a soda bottle and then kicks it out through
the road and then he like like the soda bottle
had had done him wrong, right, and he was taking
out his anger on the soda bottle, And then he
turned around and went back to the sidewalk. No cars
slowed down or stop. They avoided the soda bottle that
(16:24):
this guy was kicking around. And you're telling me that
it's our fault in the cars that this that this
tweaker is out in the middle of the road. Come on,
come on, not buying it? Not buying it? Yeah, I
can see why it's controversial. How about we focus on
people who are I don't even care about jaywalking. I
(16:45):
just care about people that are doing dumb things in
the road. I know jaywalking is the rule that we
use to enforce it, but come on, that is not
a good use of resources. It's not I know, you
want to reduce pest three and incidents, Okay, go after
pedestrians who are walking across the road and texting.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Yeah, do that? Oh no, how dare you? Come on?
All right?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You keep hearing about artificial intelligence reshaping everything, and then
you hear about investors that are dumping an absolute buttload
of money into it. The White House is getting involved
as well, and the prediction about AI reshaping everything is
coming to fruition, but it's coming as a warning of
sky net.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
It is next. Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
You're listening to KFI Am sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
And Chris Merrill on demand anytime in the iHeartRadio app.
When you're on that app, you see the little talkback button.
Hit on that and it gives you a little record screen,
allows you to record a message, send it right to us,
and whether your talkback makes it under the air.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
And I just know I do see it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So even if you say horrible, horrible things about Ronner.
Speaker 10 (17:56):
You sir, are an idiot.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, I will see it. Nobody was named in that message.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I think it was a silent mark. Those don't exist.
I beg you different, my friend. I mean, as a
host on a news radio station, I feel like I
have to fact check you on that.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Of course, I'm happy to follow your lead because you're
a complete pro. Oh, son of it, God, A right
one for honor.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Hey, we were discussing earlier about the goofy things we
believed when we were kids. Because I thought babies came
out of mom's feet and everyone else is although Nikki
did tell me that she thought soap was gonna kill her,
and I think that's kind of funny too. But the
rest of you are just cowards for not wanting to
(18:52):
admit things on the air, Just absolute cowards.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
From the talkbacks, Chris Merrill, just two things. It is
Friday in Israel, so you're correct.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I didn't think it was Friday.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
And about babies coming out of feet, maybe when you
were three you heard a conversation about fetus and you
just realized that maybe that means sweet clever.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, I mean, that's gotta be it right, That has
to be it totally. How else would I have ever
come up with that idea that they came out of
the feet.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
That has to be it. Good call.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I think I'm about to hire her as my shrink.
I mean, she can get dive right into what messed
me up when I was younger.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Hey, Chris, when I was about five six years old,
I thought babies came out of the belly button. Oh yeah,
so I was about ten. Yeah. Anyways, love to show brother,
I hope to keep you on this time slot.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't thank you. I appreciate you later. Thanks buddy.
I think that's probably a pretty common one, isn't it.
Well close enough, it's in the ballpark. I mean, if
you were a little kid and and you've got like
a young sibling on the way, and mom's belly starts
getting bigger, I can see why you would think that,
And then you might think, why do I have a
(20:08):
belly button?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I'm a boy? But then you also think, why don't
I have nipples? I'm a boy?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Right, So yeah, I think that's probably a pretty common one.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Thanks for admitting that. Look at listeners are.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Bolder than you, cowards. Unbelievable. How much do you think
how much do you think kids in the future are
just gonna be absolutely confused as all get out about
what's real and what's not. When you think of all
the misinformation that's being put out there, especially misinformation and
(20:43):
videos with AI.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Yeah, the future is looking pretty bleak on that front.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I can't imagine being a four or five year old
and discovering the world and then seeing some AI video
and just being you know, somebody with like a pet
tiger eating their dog or something, right, I can see that.
I could absolutely see AI creating that, and then little
kids thinking that that their neighbors are feeding their their
(21:08):
dogs to tigers. Or imagine if somebody's creating in this
consider this scenario. Imagine somebody create they hear the rumor
that Haitians are eating people's pets in some random small
town in Ohio. Somebody makes a video to and I'm
air quoting support their narrative, and some kid sees it.
(21:35):
I mean, that kid's gonna grow up thinking, oh, yeah,
they were definitely I saw the video, right. I can't
even imagine that if you're a little kid. That's got
to be so confusing. And then we reinforce this how
important the AI is because it's just been named, ironically,
the person of the year.
Speaker 15 (21:51):
Time magazine just announced it's twenty twenty five Person of
the Year. But it isn't just one person. It's actually
a group. Here's a look at the cover recognizing the
architects of AI.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So it's got the letters AI built out of scaffolders,
scaffolding all around these letters.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
So they're building.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
AI, right, And there's some irony to that photoshop image
of them as well.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Thank you absolutely. Can you describe me? What's that? Can
you describe that because it offends me. The photo. There's
two photos.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
One of them has a bunch of AI architects creators.
That Altman's the Elon Musks who are sitting on a
building and it's sort of it reminds you of like
the steel workers building New York in the nineteen thirties
or whatever. Right, yes, yeah, there's that one. And then
there's another cover that is the letters AI with a
ton of scaffolding all around it, and then people who
(22:43):
are building AI.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
So yeah, it's it is ironic, it is.
Speaker 15 (22:49):
The magazine wrote in part this was the year when
artificial intelligence is full potential roared into view and when
it became clear that there would be no turning back
or opting out whatever the question was, AI was the
im sir. Earlier, we spoke to technology journalist Jacob Ward
about the growing role artificial intelligence.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Oh, I don't think we need to hear that. Uh
that's from CBS News by the way. Uh, fun fact.
I was actually Times Person of the Year in two
thousand and six.
Speaker 12 (23:18):
So prove it, bing.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
It was that the year that the person of the
Year was quote you I mean yeah, okay, so I
was too. Yeah, congratulations, thank you for that. I put
that on my resume. Incidentally, I don't, uh, I don't
cash in on that often enough, I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I put that on my resume, so uh whenever whenever
somebody's like, what is just your time person of the.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Year, fact check it.
Speaker 12 (23:44):
So your resume is a puff piece.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
My your life is a puff piece. What do you kidding?
You got that theater degree? Put that front and center.
Oh yeah, no, I dropped out before I got my
theater degree. That's how good I ah, oh, even better.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Meanwhile, President Trump did sign the executive order that he
threatened to sign about AI, and the idea here is
that it overrides all the individual state AI laws and
replaces them with a single federal standard. The expectation is
that some states are going to sue, including California. California
and Colorado have passed laws that require the biggest AI
(24:22):
models like Open ai Chat, GPT, Google's Gemini, and others
to test for safety and disclose the results. South Dakota
passed the law banning deep fakes, which are realistic AI
generated videos like the one I described the maage of
your kid growing up and you hear about people eating
cats and dogs and then you see the video.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Which would be fake.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
They banned the deep fakes in political advertisements within months
of an election. Utah, Illinois, and Nevada also passing laws
related to AI, chatbots and mental health, requiring disclosures that
users are engaging with chatbots and adding restrictions on data collection.
So the concern now is that you've got a number
of states that do have a mishmash of laws. But
(25:05):
rather than rather than grabbing these laws and going Okay,
you know what, California, you are kind of leading the
way on regulation. We like your set of laws, this
is the direction we want to go. Then we just
go you know what. Nope, it's fine. Nope, no disclosure necessary, Nope,
no testing necessary. Oh, South Dakota, you've got something on
(25:26):
deep fakes before elections. Nope, we're not.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
We're taking that away too. Oh you other ones.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You want to address mental health and require disclosures that
people are talking with chatbox, Nope, that's gone too. So
the concern here is that Silicon Valley is losing its
accountability altogether.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
And you also have to wonder.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
While they're trying to create clarity as far as the
guard wheels and AI go, it's basically erasing protections that
the states have spent years trying to build. And that's
a bit concerning. That's an understatement. It is a bit concerning.
Expect lawsuits because you've got a number of legal experts
to go. The President doesn't have the authority with the
(26:13):
executive order to just preempt state laws. If there's going
to be a law pass that is going to have
supremacy over the states, that has to go through Congress.
That can't be the wave of a pen by one
individual that says I don't like the law in Oklahoma,
no countcies. I do think there's probably a middle ground
(26:35):
here where you can have states come together, you can
have a reasonable conversations, and you can add all of
these guardrails and say, look, this is going to be
the standard nationwide. Not hey, look nationwide, we're just gonna
have no standards. That feels very irresponsible to me, But
what do I know. I mean, it's been almost twenty
years since I've been times person of the AAR and
(26:55):
AI is.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Doing it right now. So what do I oh?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Speaking of guardrails, AI, I think Disney may have just
done themselves dirty when it comes to AI, what their
deal with the devil does is?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Next, Chris Merril, you're listening to kfi AM six forty
on demand, Chris Marilyn kfi AM six forty more stimulating
talking on demand anytime in the iHeart Radio app. On
that app is where you find the talk back. And
we were talking earlier.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
The question, if you want to get in on it, is,
what's the goofy thing you believe? When you were little?
I used to think babies were born out of mom's feet.
I mean I was a little kid. You know, little
kids believe all kinds of goofy. What's the goofy thing
you believed when you were young?
Speaker 15 (27:43):
Hey, Chris, when I was a little girl, I used
to think that we lived inside the world, Like if
you look at a globe, I.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Thought we lived inside the core of the globe.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
And I used to think to myself, where.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
Is the sky?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Like if you're inside the globe, where's the sky?
Speaker 10 (28:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Weird, but don't feel bad, Okay, all right? I love that.
That's a great imagination. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I mean there's still people that believe that's happening on
the on Mars right, that people live inside Mars.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
That's like, that's the thing, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Back to mark sci fi history, there's there's been stuff
on people. What do they call it? I mean, isn't
there a term for it? I'm not sure, like middle
earthers or something.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I mean, isn't that like out of an old Edgar
Rice Burrows novel from the I don't early twentieth century?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Okay, yeah, I think that's pretty reasonable for a little
kid to think.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
That's pretty great. Yeah, and yay for literacy. Yeah, I
love that.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Hey, Disney and open Ai teaming up massive content deal.
If you missed this, that's gonna include two hundred AI
generated characters for Disney's Sora video platform. Uh, it's a
They're also putting in a billion dollars into open Ai.
So if you're somebody that thinks that we could be
on an AI bubble, there's another billion dollars into the bubble.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
CNBC was talking about it.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Shares of Disney are hired today after they struck a
big deal with open Ai, and while hundreds of creatives, actors, musicians,
and writers have all expressed copyright concerns about the technology,
Disney CEO Bob Iger telling CNBC exclusively earlier today that
this agreement actually protects ip go on.
Speaker 14 (29:23):
So we're licensing about two hundred characters for users of
Sora to create their own basically videos using Sora and
those characters, we are not including name and likeness, nor
are we including character voices.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Does that mean they're not including name and likeness of
their own characters? So are these brand new characters? I
don't understand.
Speaker 14 (29:45):
And so in reality, this does not in any way
represent a threat to the creators at all. In fact,
the opposite. I think it honors them and respects them,
in part because there's a license fee associated with Huh.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
No, I'm thinking to be kind of fun to mess
around with. But should we expect other companies to follow
in their footsteps and license there are technology ip as well.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Uh, that's a good question.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
How long do you think it's going to be before
we end up with like frozen the porn.
Speaker 12 (30:16):
It's probably already happened.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I'm sure it already has. I'm sure it's already in
the day.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Isn't there a rule there's a name for that, anything
that you can think of, there's a porn.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Yeah, it's like it's a rule number something or like
rule forty one or something like that. Right. Yeah. Meanwhile,
the report from ABC News was less hesitanting.
Speaker 16 (30:36):
And this is really a major deal between Disney, which
is the parent company of ABC News, and the artificial
intelligence giant open Ai. It means that people using open
AI's short form video apps Sora will be able to
create those videos on social media with more than two
hundred Disney characters. So that includes characters from Disney, Marvel,
Star Wars, Pixar. So Disney's essentially licensing that content to
(30:58):
the tech giant. As part of this three year deal,
Disney also is investing, as you say, one billion dollars
into open Ai. In a statement, Disney's CEO Bob Iger saying,
the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment
for our industry. Through this collaboration with open ai, will
thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
AI blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 16 (31:21):
While respecting and protecting creators and their work. Remember, open
Ai launched Sora back in September. Users can basically create
these short form videos simply by typing in a description
into the app, and Disney says that some of those
videos created with Sora will also appear on its streaming platform.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh, there you go, Plus Diane, Okay, there you go.
That's the I would kind of bury the lead on that,
didn't we Yeah, so we're allowing AI to create content
that will be available on the streaming service.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
So it's here, right, I mean it's here.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
We've got AI slop is being created so that we
don't have to create other stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
That's I mean, that's what this amounts to, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
And they're like, oh, no, this is actually very beneficial
to the creatives.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
No, it isn't. No, it isn't.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
You're you're gonna you're creating AI generated content. By the way,
I was looking at the comments on on the ABC
News report on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Here's what I got.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Grave Walker zero one one five says I can't wait
for this to backfire. Johnathang one thirty eight said Mickey
Mouse sold me crack?
Speaker 4 (32:37):
What is truth? L eight n says anything Disney touches
it corrupts.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
I no longer trust open AI, and Jowser three two
one says can I make them say.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
The N word? Of course? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
There it is Yeah, well, congratulations, that's wonderful. Yeah, yeah,
I can't wait for toy story to turn totally racist.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
That's just wonderful. I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
All Right after marks eight o'clock news here, we're gonna
talk about some of the fallout because Australia had just
banned social media from kids under sixteen. We'll tell you
how well that's going according to their Prime Minister, and
whether or not that could happen here in the United States,
because it's already we already have a proposal here in
the United States from a very prominent politician and how
(33:30):
to go broke and look rich doing it. That's all
coming up for the next hour.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I'm Chris Merril KFI AM six on Demand.
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Chris Merril KFI AM six forty listen anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome to Friday, everybody, Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Have you been have you been held in a black
site or something like that?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Are you good? I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I've been waiting for a Friday night on into the weekend,
and it's just the week has been a long one,
and I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I hate to rain on your parade, but as a newsman,
I feel important to do a fact check on you.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Yeah, it's Thursday today, THURSD time. I'm a bitch. Don't
blame the media.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Oh my god, I don't like your alternative facts. Yeah yeah,
go ahead and just call me fake news. Get it
out of your system.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Somehow.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We are two weeks from Christmas, but just last week
was October. I don't know, And yet the days are in,
the weeks are dragging on. I have no idea how
it works. This is the weirdest time of year.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It both goes so fast and so slow all at
the same time. It's it's like one of your weird
sci fis man.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yes, one of my nerd.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Total nerd out prospers unbelievable. All right, Ali in the
house tonight, Foosh is back again. Nikki is making sure
I don't miss any breaking news. You guys are the best.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I love this team. And off we go. Imagine if
you've got some stomach pain.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
And so you go and you're like, oh, listen, doc,
my tummy hurts, My tummy hurts, my tummy hurts. And
the doc says, yeah, look at that. You're distended. Your
belly's really destended. Let's get you an MRI. And so
you go off for the MRI and uh then the
doctor says, who uh you got to You got a
(01:53):
little something going on in there. And you think, oh, no,
doct just give me the news.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
How bad is it? Well, it depends on your perspective.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
A baby defying all odds after an unexpected and rare
abdominal pregnancy. Baby Ryu's birth came just days after his
mother learned she was pregnant.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Every day is a gift and I'm never gonna waste it.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Susie Lopez, a nurse in Bakersfield, California, took a routine
pregnancy test before a procedure to remove a twenty pound
ovarian cyst.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Oh Man.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Twenty pounds cyst oh doesn't matter if there's a baby
in there or not.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
She feels pregnant.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
That had been growing for years.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Oh, sure enough, after seventeen years of not being pregnant,
not having regular periods.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
It was a positive pregnancy test.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
She's thinking this test is wrong.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
She soon started to experience pain in her abdomen, so
she and her husband rushed to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
As soon as we got in.
Speaker 9 (02:49):
They checked her in and the rest is history.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Doctors ordered an MRI and were stunned.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
It was the baby. You think the doctors were stying
dad's feeling. How do you should know something?
Speaker 8 (03:03):
It was the baby growing in her abdomen behind the
mask that was pushing everything out.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So that's the reason she didn't know she was pregnant.
Speaker 10 (03:10):
It was slow, profound to see this full term baby
sitting behind a very large ovarian tumor not in the uterus.
Speaker 9 (03:19):
So this was confirmed as.
Speaker 10 (03:21):
An abdominal pregnancy, which is obviously a very extreme event.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, obviously, I get I don't know anything about it.
Is that something that Nikki, Is that something that women
just know like, oh, that would be an extreme event.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Like, dudes are like, I don't know, babies in the belly.
Speaker 11 (03:35):
Generally, we're pretty in tune with our bodies, I feel,
so maybe she just wasn't in tune.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Well, I mean, she had the giant cyst. I get that.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
But if somebody said, hey, you have an abdominal pregnancy,
would you know right away that that was bad?
Speaker 12 (03:49):
Is it not meant to be in your womb? So yeah,
no it is.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
See, but we're dudes, We're like, I don't know, it's
the belly region.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
We don't know. We don't. Yeah, I don't. I mean,
I don't all these things. I'm just like, what do
you mean?
Speaker 12 (04:02):
It's not But she had.
Speaker 11 (04:03):
Some other medical issues like lack of instuation, so she
her body was a bit all over the place.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
So poor woman, Yeah, poor woman is right.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Susie had what's known as an abdominal of topic pregnancy,
which is rare and life threatening for both the mother
and fetus. I took a team of thirty to undertake
the surgery of removing the cyst and delivering her baby.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I'm always confused by these surgeries. They take thirty people,
because at some point, don't you have too many cooks
in the kitchen.
Speaker 11 (04:31):
Well, usually with ectopic pregnancies you have to terminate because
they're not viable. So the fact that she had an
abdomin an ectopic pregnancy and was able to carry it
to term, that's very remarkable.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Okay. See, I don't know these things. I don't have
any idea.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I'm just like the babies in there and then it
comes out down there, and.
Speaker 12 (04:49):
Then do you even know how babies are made?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
True story. When I was little, my parents never did
the whole stork thing. They never did that. But for
some reason, I got in my head that babies came
out of the bottom of women's feet. I don't know why,
but you know, I mean we're talking like four or
five years old here. I mean I was little, but
(05:14):
for whatever reason, just in my head. You know, I
was three when my brother was born, and at some
point I must have said something about how how great
it was the mom was walking again or something like that,
and I just in my head babies came out of feet.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Which foot left or right?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
It depended on the gender.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
Yeah, so which for which.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I don't remember. That's a good question. Right foot, right
foot boy, left.
Speaker 11 (05:42):
Foot girl would be so much easier if we birthed
through our feet, you think so, yes.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Just walking around on walking around on that feet of
all day. Oh that's good. Yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Like you got a little dirt in your sock or something,
you're just kind of just kind of chake was Jean?
Speaker 12 (06:01):
Isn't it no need for a tummy tuck?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Oh the boy, you're right about that. Imagine a way
people would end up with club foot though things don't
go right? All right, carry on, ABC, who oh there
it is.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
He weighed eight pounds and is in remarkably good help.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah eight pounds, that's that's normal, right. I don't have
any idea how much your babies.
Speaker 12 (06:22):
That's pretty us on the biggest side for a baby.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
It is, okay, I was ten pounds four ounces.
Speaker 12 (06:27):
That's huge. Yeah, imagine what your pull mother.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I know, imagine her toes.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
God gave me this baby so that he could be
an example to the world that God exists, that modern
day miracles still happen.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Well, modern medicine is the answer to their years of
praying for a second child.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Oh that's great. I love that. I love that it is.
I'm always amazed when.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
We have stories such as this or you know, even
Foosh in his the doctor saved his arm, and he's
talked numerous times about how, you know, after the car accident,
how bad it was, and how much praise he's heaped
on to the staff that saved his arm. You know,
they were contemplating amputating it. I'm always amazed at modern
(07:09):
medicine because I think of things like that that happened today,
and I just think what would have happened twenty years ago,
what would have happened thirty years ago?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And so she's like, you know, it's a modern miracle. Okay,
it is modern miracle, aided heavily by that staff of
thirty people all putting their hands in your belly while
they were pulling out both assists. A twenty pounds, The
cyst was twenty two pounds. The cyst weighed nearly three
times as much as the baby, So when she got done,
(07:38):
she was thirty pounds lighter.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Did I do the math right? Eight pound baby twenty
two pounds, sist.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
That's a pretty good weight loss plan. So good for her.
That is amazing. Oh yeah, oh here we go. Abdominal
actopic pregnancies are extremely rare, highly dangerous because the fetus
attaches to organs not designed to support pregnancy. Okay, I
feel like they should have taught me this stuff in
health class.
Speaker 12 (08:03):
So was the baby growing in her Filippian.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Tubes outside yic.
Speaker 12 (08:10):
Yeah, that's a miracle, baby, It really is.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Because uh because I I mean, the womb is supposed
to provide all those nutrients and everything else.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Right. Yeah, wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Mom and the baby both survived the procedure, stable condition.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Baby seems to be doing well.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You heard you heard the audio of the baby crying,
and then I saw some photos too.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
The baby looks baby looks very healthy. It's amazing. So
that's awesome. Love that seeing we're getting there.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Even though Mark ruined my entire day by telling me
it wasn't Friday.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It could have been worse. I could have given you
an ectopic pregnancy.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
There's still time. Look on the bright side.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Be a glass half yeah, filoppian tube half full type
of guy.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I feel like we've already learned a lot today, So
thank you everyone, Thank you. What do we learned?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Chris doesn't know the female anatomy at all. My understanding
is that women also have something else called a g spot.
But I think this is a fake, This is a
total fago. That's a myth too, right, No, want to
open that door there. I've never I've never met a woman.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
That sad one, Yeah, it's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
How did I not end up with a foot finish
when I got older? What I mean, does it seem
like that that would have been in my wheelhouse?
Speaker 12 (09:26):
It will lead Tarantino.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh yeah, all right, speaking of good news, We've got
a city now that is bracing for darkness, getting ready
for chaos. True criminals and masterminds among us. This criminal
underworld in Los Angeles is going wild today. But we
(09:49):
got the hero that we need, maybe not the hero
that we deserve.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
That's next.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Chris Meryl, you're listening to KFI A six demand.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Was talking with the gang here off the air because
they they didn't believe me when I was little, and
if you missed it, when I was living just joining us.
When I was little, I used to think the babies
came out of mom's feet.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I was. But didn't you.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Guys ever have anything when you were young that was like,
I mean, like absurdly wrong.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Nothing I want to admit to on the air.
Speaker 9 (10:26):
Yeah, I was gonna say, like, can I keep that
to yourself?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Well, because you know why kids are we just don't know, right,
And I look, it's the dumb kid, all right. It
was a dumb little kid, all right.
Speaker 12 (10:39):
Well mine's really banal.
Speaker 11 (10:41):
But I just I used to think that if I
got anything under my fingernails, I would die.
Speaker 12 (10:46):
So when I was very really, where'd.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
That come from? That's got to be some sort of
a psychological.
Speaker 12 (10:51):
Yeah, anxiety.
Speaker 11 (10:52):
When I was like, yeah, when I was like three
or four years old, I got I had a shower
or bath and I got soap under my thumbnail and
I freaked out, crying, hysterical because I legitimately thought that
means I would die. And my parents didn't know what
was wrong with me. They thought they knew that she's anxious,
but they I never said what exactly was bothering me?
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I didn't At some point they figured it out, right.
Speaker 12 (11:16):
They didn't know why I was upset.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Did once they had learned, did they did they have
a good laugh and tell you and reassure you or anything?
Speaker 12 (11:22):
No, nothing, I don't just sent.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You to bed and said, quit your crying, kid.
Speaker 12 (11:25):
Pretty much.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I love that you grow up in a place where
everything is actually trying to kill you, but your parents
don't reassure you about the things that aren't.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
That's great.
Speaker 11 (11:35):
Wow, spiders are like fluffy little puppy dogs.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
That's crazy. My uh, my son was like, ah, god,
how old was he?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Six? Seven years old?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
We're cleaning out the garage and and I went through
an old box and I and I had it.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
There was a blanket in there.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
And so my daughter was like seven, my son was
like six, and uh and I pulled an old blanket
out and I went, I said, oh, I said, I go,
this is a little weird. I said, this is the
blanket that my that my grandmother had over her when
she died.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
And they were like, oh my gosh. They were kind
of weirded out by it. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So we keep cleaning the garage and I pulled the
shelf out and I've got a little little box of
rat poison pellets that were in there, you know, we
had rats, mice, whatever, and my uh so it tipped
over and my son goes over there and he starts
picking them up and putting him back in the box.
And I turned around and I said, I go, huh,
don't do that, and he stops and he looks at
(12:37):
me and I go, you didn't touch that, did you?
And he said, yeah. I go, that's poison and he
you know, a little kid, then poison to them is just,
you know, whatever, it is deadly. So he goes and
I go, I go, you're gonna die now? Am I
the worst parent ever?
Speaker 11 (12:57):
That's exactly what it is like that children. I go,
so you say you're gonna die, that we believe.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
It, and that yeah, I go, that's poison. You're gonna
die now? He was what, No, No, When I go,
the only thing left to do is pick out a blanket? Mean,
so mean, And I look back and I think, and
then of course he was like no, And I went
and hugged it, and.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
My daughter was dying of laughter.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I mean, she thought it was the funniest thing that
I just convinced.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Her little brother. He was toast.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And I look back on it now and I think
I probably did some legit damage to him, and I
feel kind of bad about it, But also it was
really funny at the time, so I don't I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Am I just a horrible parent. Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, I kind of reflect back on that periodically, and
I just think, did I screw him up?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I probably did?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, but I look, I mis step dad always blame
his real father anything that's wrong with him.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
No, I'm like, I probably came from his dad. H Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Don't you hate when you're telling a story and halfway
through you realize you're the villain. Basically just happened to me,
all right, Curious if there's anything you believe when you
were a little that was kind of absurd? Hit us
up at the talk back on that one. Meanwhile, we've
got the LAPD cracking down on true crime.
Speaker 13 (14:13):
An LAPD sting operation caught on video has now gone viral.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh yeah, sting operation probably has a cool sting operation
code name, code name Viper sting operation code name it Kingpan.
Speaker 13 (14:37):
Yeah, showing police officers on bikes pulling over drivers in
Woodland Hills who failed to stop for pedestrians.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Oh yeah, what wait, even.
Speaker 13 (14:46):
If they're jaywalking?
Speaker 14 (14:49):
Okay, it's kind of silly I think from the LAPD
to be like doing this and kind of setting people
up here.
Speaker 13 (14:55):
It's believed the two people in the video crossing the
streeter officers in playing clothing. Next, several drivers continue through
without yielding. Get our given citations, and.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
When anybody drivers stop, they pull them over right away,
like they did this guy right here.
Speaker 13 (15:10):
The video was captured earlier this week on Ventura Boulevard
near Knoga Avenue, where the street curves and nearly half
a mile between legal crosswalks and traffic lights.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
All right, look, I get we want to reduce pedestrian accidents. Right,
I'm all, that's great. We need to reduce pedestrian accidents,
honest to God. Thought, I gotta feel like nine out
of ten pedestrian accidents are the pedestrians who are at fault.
(15:40):
And I know cars aren't stopping, But how many times
have you been driving down? This happens to me every
single day on the way to work. I'm driving down
and I drive through kind of a rough neighborhood to
get to work, and there's always someone who's not really
with it, tweaking a little bit, who's walking across the
middle of a five lane road. We're all supposed to stop.
(16:03):
Happened to me today. Happened to me today. Guy goes
out in the middle of the road and he throws
down a soda bottle and then kicks it out through
the road and then he like like the soda bottle
had had done him wrong, right, and he was taking
out his anger on the soda bottle, And then he
turned around and went back to the sidewalk. No cars
slowed down or stop. They avoided the soda bottle that
(16:24):
this guy was kicking around. And you're telling me that
it's our fault in the cars that this that this
tweaker is out in the middle of the road. Come on,
come on, not buying it? Not buying it? Yeah, I
can see why it's controversial. How about we focus on
people who are I don't even care about jaywalking. I
(16:45):
just care about people that are doing dumb things in
the road. I know jaywalking is the rule that we
use to enforce it, but come on, that is not
a good use of resources. It's not I know, you
want to reduce pest three and incidents, Okay, go after
pedestrians who are walking across the road and texting.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Yeah, do that? Oh no, how dare you? Come on?
All right?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You keep hearing about artificial intelligence reshaping everything, and then
you hear about investors that are dumping an absolute buttload
of money into it. The White House is getting involved
as well, and the prediction about AI reshaping everything is
coming to fruition, but it's coming as a warning of
sky net.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
It is next. Chris Merrill.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
You're listening to KFI Am sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
And Chris Merrill on demand anytime in the iHeartRadio app.
When you're on that app, you see the little talkback button.
Hit on that and it gives you a little record screen,
allows you to record a message, send it right to us,
and whether your talkback makes it under the air.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
And I just know I do see it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
So even if you say horrible, horrible things about Ronner.
Speaker 10 (17:56):
You sir, are an idiot.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, I will see it. Nobody was named in that message.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I think it was a silent mark. Those don't exist.
I beg you different, my friend. I mean, as a
host on a news radio station, I feel like I
have to fact check you on that.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Of course, I'm happy to follow your lead because you're
a complete pro. Oh, son of it, God, A right
one for honor.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Hey, we were discussing earlier about the goofy things we
believed when we were kids. Because I thought babies came
out of mom's feet and everyone else is although Nikki
did tell me that she thought soap was gonna kill her,
and I think that's kind of funny too. But the
rest of you are just cowards for not wanting to
(18:52):
admit things on the air, Just absolute cowards.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
From the talkbacks, Chris Merrill, just two things. It is
Friday in Israel, so you're correct.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I didn't think it was Friday.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
And about babies coming out of feet, maybe when you
were three you heard a conversation about fetus and you
just realized that maybe that means sweet clever.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, I mean, that's gotta be it right, That has
to be it totally. How else would I have ever
come up with that idea that they came out of
the feet.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
That has to be it. Good call.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I think I'm about to hire her as my shrink.
I mean, she can get dive right into what messed
me up when I was younger.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Hey, Chris, when I was about five six years old,
I thought babies came out of the belly button. Oh yeah,
so I was about ten. Yeah. Anyways, love to show brother,
I hope to keep you on this time slot.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't thank you. I appreciate you later. Thanks buddy.
I think that's probably a pretty common one, isn't it.
Well close enough, it's in the ballpark. I mean, if
you were a little kid and and you've got like
a young sibling on the way, and mom's belly starts
getting bigger, I can see why you would think that,
And then you might think, why do I have a
(20:08):
belly button?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I'm a boy? But then you also think, why don't
I have nipples? I'm a boy?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Right, So yeah, I think that's probably a pretty common one.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Thanks for admitting that. Look at listeners are.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Bolder than you, cowards. Unbelievable. How much do you think
how much do you think kids in the future are
just gonna be absolutely confused as all get out about
what's real and what's not. When you think of all
the misinformation that's being put out there, especially misinformation and
(20:43):
videos with AI.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Yeah, the future is looking pretty bleak on that front.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I can't imagine being a four or five year old
and discovering the world and then seeing some AI video
and just being you know, somebody with like a pet
tiger eating their dog or something, right, I can see that.
I could absolutely see AI creating that, and then little
kids thinking that that their neighbors are feeding their their
(21:08):
dogs to tigers. Or imagine if somebody's creating in this
consider this scenario. Imagine somebody create they hear the rumor
that Haitians are eating people's pets in some random small
town in Ohio. Somebody makes a video to and I'm
air quoting support their narrative, and some kid sees it.
(21:35):
I mean, that kid's gonna grow up thinking, oh, yeah,
they were definitely I saw the video, right. I can't
even imagine that if you're a little kid. That's got
to be so confusing. And then we reinforce this how
important the AI is because it's just been named, ironically,
the person of the year.
Speaker 15 (21:51):
Time magazine just announced it's twenty twenty five Person of
the Year. But it isn't just one person. It's actually
a group. Here's a look at the cover recognizing the
architects of AI.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So it's got the letters AI built out of scaffolders,
scaffolding all around these letters.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
So they're building.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
AI, right, And there's some irony to that photoshop image
of them as well.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Thank you absolutely. Can you describe me? What's that? Can
you describe that because it offends me. The photo. There's
two photos.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
One of them has a bunch of AI architects creators.
That Altman's the Elon Musks who are sitting on a
building and it's sort of it reminds you of like
the steel workers building New York in the nineteen thirties
or whatever. Right, yes, yeah, there's that one. And then
there's another cover that is the letters AI with a
ton of scaffolding all around it, and then people who
(22:43):
are building AI.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
So yeah, it's it is ironic, it is.
Speaker 15 (22:49):
The magazine wrote in part this was the year when
artificial intelligence is full potential roared into view and when
it became clear that there would be no turning back
or opting out whatever the question was, AI was the
im sir. Earlier, we spoke to technology journalist Jacob Ward
about the growing role artificial intelligence.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Oh, I don't think we need to hear that. Uh
that's from CBS News by the way. Uh, fun fact.
I was actually Times Person of the Year in two
thousand and six.
Speaker 12 (23:18):
So prove it, bing.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
It was that the year that the person of the
Year was quote you I mean yeah, okay, so I
was too. Yeah, congratulations, thank you for that. I put
that on my resume. Incidentally, I don't, uh, I don't
cash in on that often enough, I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I put that on my resume, so uh whenever whenever
somebody's like, what is just your time person of the.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Year, fact check it.
Speaker 12 (23:44):
So your resume is a puff piece.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
My your life is a puff piece. What do you kidding?
You got that theater degree? Put that front and center.
Oh yeah, no, I dropped out before I got my
theater degree. That's how good I ah, oh, even better.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Meanwhile, President Trump did sign the executive order that he
threatened to sign about AI, and the idea here is
that it overrides all the individual state AI laws and
replaces them with a single federal standard. The expectation is
that some states are going to sue, including California. California
and Colorado have passed laws that require the biggest AI
(24:22):
models like Open ai Chat, GPT, Google's Gemini, and others
to test for safety and disclose the results. South Dakota
passed the law banning deep fakes, which are realistic AI
generated videos like the one I described the maage of
your kid growing up and you hear about people eating
cats and dogs and then you see the video.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Which would be fake.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
They banned the deep fakes in political advertisements within months
of an election. Utah, Illinois, and Nevada also passing laws
related to AI, chatbots and mental health, requiring disclosures that
users are engaging with chatbots and adding restrictions on data collection.
So the concern now is that you've got a number
of states that do have a mishmash of laws. But
(25:05):
rather than rather than grabbing these laws and going Okay,
you know what, California, you are kind of leading the
way on regulation. We like your set of laws, this
is the direction we want to go. Then we just
go you know what. Nope, it's fine. Nope, no disclosure necessary, Nope,
no testing necessary. Oh, South Dakota, you've got something on
(25:26):
deep fakes before elections. Nope, we're not.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
We're taking that away too. Oh you other ones.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You want to address mental health and require disclosures that
people are talking with chatbox, Nope, that's gone too. So
the concern here is that Silicon Valley is losing its
accountability altogether.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
And you also have to wonder.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
While they're trying to create clarity as far as the
guard wheels and AI go, it's basically erasing protections that
the states have spent years trying to build. And that's
a bit concerning. That's an understatement. It is a bit concerning.
Expect lawsuits because you've got a number of legal experts
to go. The President doesn't have the authority with the
(26:13):
executive order to just preempt state laws. If there's going
to be a law pass that is going to have
supremacy over the states, that has to go through Congress.
That can't be the wave of a pen by one
individual that says I don't like the law in Oklahoma,
no countcies. I do think there's probably a middle ground
(26:35):
here where you can have states come together, you can
have a reasonable conversations, and you can add all of
these guardrails and say, look, this is going to be
the standard nationwide. Not hey, look nationwide, we're just gonna
have no standards. That feels very irresponsible to me, But
what do I know. I mean, it's been almost twenty
years since I've been times person of the AAR and
(26:55):
AI is.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Doing it right now. So what do I oh?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Speaking of guardrails, AI, I think Disney may have just
done themselves dirty when it comes to AI, what their
deal with the devil does is?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Next, Chris Merril, you're listening to kfi AM six forty
on demand, Chris Marilyn kfi AM six forty more stimulating
talking on demand anytime in the iHeart Radio app. On
that app is where you find the talk back. And
we were talking earlier.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
The question, if you want to get in on it, is,
what's the goofy thing you believe? When you were little?
I used to think babies were born out of mom's feet.
I mean I was a little kid. You know, little
kids believe all kinds of goofy. What's the goofy thing
you believed when you were young?
Speaker 15 (27:43):
Hey, Chris, when I was a little girl, I used
to think that we lived inside the world, Like if
you look at a globe, I.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Thought we lived inside the core of the globe.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
And I used to think to myself, where.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
Is the sky?
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Like if you're inside the globe, where's the sky?
Speaker 10 (28:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Weird, but don't feel bad, Okay, all right? I love that.
That's a great imagination. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I mean there's still people that believe that's happening on
the on Mars right, that people live inside Mars.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
That's like, that's the thing, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Back to mark sci fi history, there's there's been stuff
on people. What do they call it? I mean, isn't
there a term for it? I'm not sure, like middle
earthers or something.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I mean, isn't that like out of an old Edgar
Rice Burrows novel from the I don't early twentieth century?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Okay, yeah, I think that's pretty reasonable for a little
kid to think.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
That's pretty great. Yeah, and yay for literacy. Yeah, I
love that.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Hey, Disney and open Ai teaming up massive content deal.
If you missed this, that's gonna include two hundred AI
generated characters for Disney's Sora video platform. Uh, it's a
They're also putting in a billion dollars into open Ai.
So if you're somebody that thinks that we could be
on an AI bubble, there's another billion dollars into the bubble.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
CNBC was talking about it.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Shares of Disney are hired today after they struck a
big deal with open Ai, and while hundreds of creatives, actors, musicians,
and writers have all expressed copyright concerns about the technology,
Disney CEO Bob Iger telling CNBC exclusively earlier today that
this agreement actually protects ip go on.
Speaker 14 (29:23):
So we're licensing about two hundred characters for users of
Sora to create their own basically videos using Sora and
those characters, we are not including name and likeness, nor
are we including character voices.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Does that mean they're not including name and likeness of
their own characters? So are these brand new characters? I
don't understand.
Speaker 14 (29:45):
And so in reality, this does not in any way
represent a threat to the creators at all. In fact,
the opposite. I think it honors them and respects them,
in part because there's a license fee associated with Huh.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
No, I'm thinking to be kind of fun to mess
around with. But should we expect other companies to follow
in their footsteps and license there are technology ip as well.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Uh, that's a good question.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
How long do you think it's going to be before
we end up with like frozen the porn.
Speaker 12 (30:16):
It's probably already happened.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I'm sure it already has. I'm sure it's already in
the day.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Isn't there a rule there's a name for that, anything
that you can think of, there's a porn.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Yeah, it's like it's a rule number something or like
rule forty one or something like that. Right. Yeah. Meanwhile,
the report from ABC News was less hesitanting.
Speaker 16 (30:36):
And this is really a major deal between Disney, which
is the parent company of ABC News, and the artificial
intelligence giant open Ai. It means that people using open
AI's short form video apps Sora will be able to
create those videos on social media with more than two
hundred Disney characters. So that includes characters from Disney, Marvel,
Star Wars, Pixar. So Disney's essentially licensing that content to
(30:58):
the tech giant. As part of this three year deal,
Disney also is investing, as you say, one billion dollars
into open Ai. In a statement, Disney's CEO Bob Iger saying,
the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment
for our industry. Through this collaboration with open ai, will
thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
AI blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 16 (31:21):
While respecting and protecting creators and their work. Remember, open
Ai launched Sora back in September. Users can basically create
these short form videos simply by typing in a description
into the app, and Disney says that some of those
videos created with Sora will also appear on its streaming platform.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Oh, there you go, Plus Diane, Okay, there you go.
That's the I would kind of bury the lead on that,
didn't we Yeah, so we're allowing AI to create content
that will be available on the streaming service.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
So it's here, right, I mean it's here.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
We've got AI slop is being created so that we
don't have to create other stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
That's I mean, that's what this amounts to, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
And they're like, oh, no, this is actually very beneficial
to the creatives.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
No, it isn't. No, it isn't.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
You're you're gonna you're creating AI generated content. By the way,
I was looking at the comments on on the ABC
News report on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Here's what I got.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Grave Walker zero one one five says I can't wait
for this to backfire. Johnathang one thirty eight said Mickey
Mouse sold me crack?
Speaker 4 (32:37):
What is truth? L eight n says anything Disney touches
it corrupts.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
I no longer trust open AI, and Jowser three two
one says can I make them say.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
The N word? Of course? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
There it is Yeah, well, congratulations, that's wonderful. Yeah, yeah,
I can't wait for toy story to turn totally racist.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
That's just wonderful. I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
All Right after marks eight o'clock news here, we're gonna
talk about some of the fallout because Australia had just
banned social media from kids under sixteen. We'll tell you
