Summary
We're all going to die!! Or at least that is what the dozens of you who suggested this story seem to think. Surprisingly though, this time Conspiracy Bot is not involved, so we have that going for us. But, A.I. is involved, and Google of course. Google engineer Blake Lemoine has came forward and said a chatbot, LaMDA, is self aware. Has feelings, and fears being turned off. Is this the technological singularity where we all now bow to our overlord before we are wiped out? Or maybe just confused ramblings of an overworked engineer who doesn't fully grasp the complexity of Chatbots and algorithms? Either way, ugh... Google... am I right????

| 0:28.4 | because we don't have power like the stop lights are out everywhere. Yeah, like I was very happy |
| 0:35.6 | that we have power. We have powered our house to think God because it's a hundred degrees |
| 0:39.2 | literally outside. Oh my gosh. I cannot imagine. I was supposed to record. I was supposed to record |
| 0:48.1 | a couple nights ago. And it was my buddy Mark and I and Mark lives in Chicago. And he's like, |
| 0:55.2 | yeah, let's risk it. There's no side runs. Yeah, it's bad. Yeah, it was, it was, it was crazy. |
| 1:02.3 | Here's the crazy thing. I woke up. We just got our gravity fed |
| 1:09.6 | sprinkler system going. There's water that comes down off the spring off the mountain. So |
| 1:16.0 | it's not actually like, you know, it's under its own pressure or whatever. Yeah, yeah. And it's not |

| 2:23.8 | Well, and as you know, and I've said this ad nauseam, the problem with Chicago is 100 degrees, |
| 2:29.0 | but it's also 97% humidity. So it's just swamp ass as far as the eye can see. But, you know, |
| 2:37.7 | this is the reason for travel and stuff. On another note, good that we don't have to worry about |
