Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Kanye West has ruffled feathers again after the Grammy Awards last night when Beck beat Beyonce for album of the year. When Beck hit the stage to accept the award, Kanye acted like he would interrupt like he did to Taylor Swift. During an interview afterwards, Kanye voiced his opinion about how Beck should give his award to Beyonce. Bruce Jenner was involved in a major car accident that killed a woman. The cause of the accident is still being investigated. A robot that can have AI uploaded into it has been created. The potential uses of the robot would be to virtually clone oneself in robot form. Cenk and Ana talk about the potential problems with it, Ana worries that her man will leave her for her clone.

The military has decided to reclassify alcohol as a weapon since there are a significant number of cases where people are drugged with drinks before being sexually assaulted. Cenk is generally opposed to this rule, as its unnecessary and potentially confusing since so many people drink voluntarily before being assaulted. A Canadian woman won a $1.5 million lawsuit after a car accident damaged a part of her brain, turning her into a sex crazed dominatrix. TYT Supreme Court rules 3-1 in favor of the woman. A Detroit woman has been arrested of killing her friend with a slow cooker over a political argument.

  1. I’ve been listening to (and studying) the AI hype for 30 years now, and we are no closer to this kind of artificial intelligence than we were back then, so don’t get your hopes up.

    The basic issues are a fundamental lack of understanding of the complexities of the human mind, and a crazy overestimation of just exactly what our current AI algorithms are capable of. If you guys saw what computer programming is really like, you’d laugh just as much as I did at this guy’s foolishness. Mind clones? HAHAHAHA. It is far more likely that we’ll get to asteroid mining before we create substantially human-esque artificial intelligences.

    Don’t buy the hype.

  2. Re ana’s pastor manning interview:

    Oh my god ana, you were unbelievable in the pastor manning interview. I initially thought cenk was the over-eager journalist until I saw ana doubling down. it’s very typical of ana to fervently throw dust in her audiences face when they don’t agree or disagree with her, she has no concept of trying to understand their position and hence goes to take a very combative stance against anyone who has made her feel unhinged or insecure (which she feels very easily and quite often).

    But now to my point… it’s quite obvious that pastor manning hates himself for being gay (a repressed homosexual), hates himself for being black (hence his attacks against other blacks) and hates himself for not having had the opportunities, income or talent to get a university education. But despite this, we see ana throwing her university degree around with the epitome or white privilege while cenk makes fun of manning’s lack of university education.

    The fact that they were not able to see, understand and feel empathy for this interviewee during their crusade is what is particularly worrying. If they had recognized the issues he was dealing with, they wouldn’t have felt the need to assert the vindictive positions that they held resulting from ana’s and cenk’s misunderstanding of their subject.

    … and given that ana will never correct herself on one of her mistakes (unless she can claim credit for it – more on that later), we will never get an admission of her wrongdoing during this interview.

    And, let me tell you about when ana tried to claim credit for one of her own mistakes… here is the transcript between her and steve oh.

    Ana: “I could never have respect for a culture [Korean’s] that eat their own pets”
    steve oh (who is Korean): “well, what if in korea, dogs are to Korean’s what pigs are to us”
    Ana: “oh, now I get it, I totally understand it now, sorry for being unfairly judgemental”

    Then, of course, a few days later, ana brags about this on air. god she is disgusting. remember, it’s the insecure and stupid that you should be most aware of and afraid from.

  3. So was it programmed to ask if it existed or was going to die?
    Did it come up with that question on its own? Kill it with… lightning?

    We need to regulate ai fuckin quick.

    Anna you’d kill another entity? omfg you don’t think ai are people? so conservative of you. ai aint evil anna
