Wrap-up + community prompt

1:43:49never worth it. We want to keep human sports human. No robotic Olympics when they start. Don't support them. Um so we have gotten to the conclusion. Yes. of our fantastic Winter Olympics episode. I am starting to get some beads of sweat on my nose here because >> because we are in LA. >> We are in LA and although it's not that cold. >> Although it is raining, it is not snowing and so these ski jackets are are quite warm. >> Quite warm actually. >> But we we did we did a lot of fun stories today. Again, science is all around us. We talked about the physics of slippery ice. We talked about the neuroscience of choking. We looked at

1:44:30how climate science, climate change, anthropogenic climate change is going to impact the ability to have future winter Olympics. So, if you have kids right now that you're trying to get on the US Olympic team for the 2042 speed skate, uh, or I guess any of these outdoor related events, it's going to be relevant to you living vicariously through that future Olympic child. Um, and our rundown was super fun today. We had a ton of good stories. The AI doing physics thing I think is a >> Yeah, that's an interesting one. >> I think let's not sleep on this issue. I understand again I have similar feelings about where the money is coming from for

1:45:11all these billionaire frontier models. Why it's bad to replace all human labor with LLMs and software AI and robots and also we have no plan for distribution. And yes, there are some cases where hype is happening, but this is happening and it is moving very very very quickly. And if the last time you tried any of these things was the free version of chat GBT even 6 weeks ago, even two weeks ago, the where the frontier is is exponentially better than it was two to six weeks ago. >> It is unbelievable. And I just really

1:45:52encourage people to remove their prior biases about AI, not because we're saying it's amazing and brilliant and all this stuff, but because we're saying it's growing at a rate that no other phase shift in technology in our lived lifetime has changed. And the implications of that are so enormous, it's like hard to really articulate. And it is not just we're software engineers and everyone else is going to be fine. Yeah. Um, I just this is something I'm just going to keep beating the drum on because I think it's very important. But we had other great stories today. Uh, we talked another animal behavior study story on on cats meows versus pers. We did immunology talking about us discovering how we rewrite the immune

1:46:35system and the epigenetic versus long long form genetics that informs that. >> The origin of life beyond our common ancestor. That's a really fantastic one. And then the astrophysics and exoplanet stories about us discovering a solar system that should not be possible. I mean where else everybody can you get the absolute best breakdown of breaking and frontier science across physics, chemistry, biology, all the stuff in between. It's only here at FFP the fundamentally flawed podcast. >> Yeah. [laughter] which is a funny name that we got out of one of the little thingies we use but it is from first

1:47:16principles. We are so grateful for our audience. Last two things comment. >> Yes. >> What should it be? >> Thoughts? >> No. What are your thoughts on uh the >> controversies that we encountered whether it's the Canada or the ski jump crotch >> or the gate X gate >> uh free this is a free form one. Some of you guys have had some really good comments, so we really appreciate you. Um, again, if you love the show, if
