[ light laughter ] everything we do use -- have -- goes through a tech nerd. tech nerds run the entire world. [ light laughter ] jocks used to run this world. and i really think this was a a better place when jocks were running it. [ light laughter ] because when jocks ran the world, they would just make fun of you 'cause you can't play sports. nerds make apps that make you hate yourself. [ laughter ] can i ask you guys, how did we let the least social people make social media? how did that happen? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] the people -- the people that never socialized at all -- at all. they were in fields, rotating by themselves. [ light laughter ] they -- they turn around and told us how to socialize. none of us made social media 'cause we were too busy, socializing! [ laughter ] [ scattered applause ]

nobody at a barbecue eating a a hot dog was like, "how do i turn this into a 15-second annoying video?" that was -- [ light laughter ] that was some psycho sitting in a dark room, looking out a a window, like, "i'd like to get out there." just go, man! [ laughter ] there's no wonder there's so many problems with social media, it was made by people that never did it. i know nothing about cars, okay? if i ever make one, there's gonna be a lot of problems. [ laughter ] so -- where are the pistons? detroit? i don't know, man. [ laughter ] i can't -- [ applause ] which is why i get mad at the tech people, 'cause they just make stuff they don't understand, and we have to deal with it, you know? like, elon musk recently unveiled the tesla humanoid. it's a robot for your house. it will do stuff for you in your house, 'cause you know sometimes, right, you want something, but it's on the top shelf. [ light laughter ] and you're standing on the floor like, "how am i gonna get that? i'm covered in butter, i can't reach that." so -- [ laughter ] this robot will do it for you. and elon musk literally said, "these robots are gonna be very cool, as long as they don't

become terminators. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha." and then he laughed. [ laughter and applause ] then he laughed that horrifying laugh. [ laughter ] and nobody says anything! [ laughter ] it's like, elon, if there's even a chance these things become terminators, why are you making them, man? [ laughter ] doesn't it just kind of feel like tech nerds watched every sci-fi movie halfway -- [ light laughter ] and then started making the things? they're like, "wouldn't it be cool if we had robots that talked?" hey man, finish the movie. [ laughter ] and we are -- we are already very ready for robot -- we are ready for a contactless world. we already treat people like robots as it is. we are ready for driverless cars and drones that drop stuff off at our house, you know? because, like, an uber driver now, that might as well be a a bag of leaves, who cares? [ light laughter ] that might as well be a mop in a hat. we don't even talk to them. we get in -- we get into his car -- it's his car! [ laughter ] we don't say hello. we just close the door and wait. [ light laughter ] and if he says something to us, we're like, "i just wanted a a quiet ride, please!"

[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] we have -- we have contactless delivery now. that's insane. somebody could bike -- bike in the rain, to deliver your food. bike in the rain, rain in the face -- [ laughter ] -- to bring you jalapeno poppers. [ laughter ] and they don't even get a thank you, anymore. [ light laughter ] they get a note on the delivery that's like, "tell 'em leave the j-pops on the doorknob. [ laughter ] and then get the hell away from my house!" [ cheers and applause ] a.i. -- a.i. really scares me, man. i don't know buddy, but i'm very scared about a.i. i am scared about a.i. because the people that made a.i. are scared of a.i. [ laughter ] there are two men who helped create a.i., who have run away. they've run away. and now -- [ light laughter ] now they're doing interviews like, "you gotta stop it." you gotta to stop it. [ laughter ] what do you want me to do? get back in the office, dude.

these two men think a.i. is going to destroy humanity and they left. is that even legal? can you do that? can a firefighter just leave a a building like, "the flames are big"? it's your -- [ laughter ] it's your whole job, man! the fathers of a.i. are scared, the fathers. henry ford didn't run around going, "look out for the car!" [ light laughter ] there's nobody from ben & jerry's that's like, "don't eat mint chocolate chip!" the people that made a.i. are scared, and we just keep playing with it. it is wild to me to think that humans, we have no natural predators, none. and we made one with a.i.! [ laughter ] it's like -- [ applause ] we made a natural predator with a.i. it's like if salmon invented grizzly bears. [ laughter and cheers ] i just feel this was a better place when jocks were running it. and look, this is me, also a a full dork, a full dork, defending -- defending jocks. when i was in school, jocks did not like me. grade five, these five jocks one time, right, they gave me a a wedgie, all at the same time.

and they did it -- they did it so hard, i was in the air above their heads, floating in the sky, underwear inside my body. [ light laughter ] they gave me that wedgie in front of 28 kids. when jocks ran the world, 28 people saw me get a wedgie. now that tech nerds run the world, millions of people would have saw that, you know? [ light laughter ] that video would've went to latvia. there would've been reaction videos. there would've been some weird euro dance track to what i said in the clip. just -- "ah, my balls, ah, ah, my balls. [ laughter and applause ] ah, my balls." [ applause ] anyway, so i started this by saying that tech nerds won. they own us. and it's true. so please follow me online.
