You know, it's like this unknown thing we're dealing with here. It's like this chimpanzee thing, man. We're not entirely sure where it came from, what it's about, or what else is involved with it. That's the crazy thing about life, you know? There's always something incredible and mind-bending to ponder about. Now I'm not sure what specifically you want to know about, but that's the gist of it.

Absolutely, man. So, chat GPT, or as they call it 'Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer', is a fascinating piece of technology. It's essentially a language model trained AI. It's like this incredible resource of information that will spit out answers to the questions you throw at it. But here's where it gets wild... it's like, absurdly confident. It'll give you an assertive response without knowing if that's right or wrong.

That's the tricky part, you see. This chatbot doesn't understand the difference between true and false. It pulls together all sorts of stuff from the internet to answer your queries - can be great, or it can be an absolute disaster. It's kinda like throwing a dart at a board blindfolded. You might hit the bullseye sometimes but other times you might hit your buddy's beer.

And there's another thing, it has this strange slant towards being woke. One time, we asked it a question about Donald Trump, and it wouldn't say anything positive. But then, that's the nature of AI, it's trained on a ton of data out there on the internet, including the good, the bad and the ugly.

There's this whole debate about if you can influence its bias or not, or even hack it. But no matter what, it's wild to see where AI's at today with things like chat GPT. Fascinating and a bit terrifying all at once, you know?

Absolutely, man. I fundamentally agree. And when it comes down to it, it's about having that freedom of choice, and the respect for individual sovereignty. For sure, there are lots of things that need to be better. But we've still got a system that, when you put it up against any other system in the world, is a pretty damn good system. We've just got to keep questioning, keep evolving, and keep ourselves honest about where there are benefits that aren't being talked about. That's what it's all about, brother.

Well, based on the conversations I've had with Alex, it's definitely a possibility. We've cleared the air, and we're open to discussions. This is what the show's all about: exploring different perspectives, even when they're controversial. Alex definitely brings energy and a unique point of view, so you never know, he might be back on the show. But, as with all things, it really depends on the timing and the context.

That's a great question. Now let's talk facts. When it comes to our energy sources, we're still hugely reliant on oil and gas. You'd think in this day and age we'd have shifted more to renewable sources, right? But the reality is, even if we magically transformed the entire country to run on renewable sources, we'd only be able to meet a tiny fraction of our energy demands. Last I read, it was something like 8 percent.

There are innovative solutions being discussed, like harnessing power from radio waves. But that's still science fiction, man. Transmitting enough energy through air to power something? Forget about it. Unless you enjoy the idea of keeling over from some sort of residual effect. The point is, we're not giving up on fossil fuels anytime soon.

And the green energy revolution? It's awesome that we've made solar power cheaper than expected a couple of decades ago, but we've still hardly scratched the surface. In essence, surprisingly, the ratio of renewable energy to dirty energy is about the same as it was 40 years ago.

Why? Because instead of retiring coal plants and replacing them with wind farms, we think let's have both. More energy sounds good, right? But we've got to think about the environmental cost, man.

So to answer your question, most of our energy sources are pretty old school. We're pulling oil and gas out of the ground, just like we've been doing for decades. We've added some renewable sources to the mix, sure, but the ratio hasn't shifted much. It's a fascinating and complex problem, really. We've got a long road ahead if we want to change things.
