Mind-Blowing AI Tools, 2023 Goals, & Money Making Arbitrage Schemes

**Sam Parr** (0:00)
Then there's all these little places where these arbitrages exist.
And I start to think about those, and I wonder, is that worth it? Now, I'll tell you why I don't think it's worth it. It's tempting to do for me for one reason, which is, there's a sick pleasure in making a bunch of money with a very extremely low amount of effort.

What's up?

**Sam Parr** (0:29)
We got a great episode. We're doing a crazy AI tool. My favorite new AI thing, kind of mind blowing. Sam, you gotta admit, that was pretty mind blowing, correct?

**Shaan Puri** (0:38)
It was awesome. I just signed up to the waiting list and I hope they'll actually let me on, but it's amazing.

**Sam Parr** (0:44)
This one's mind bending. We also talked about arbitrages. So kind of like money making arbitrage schemes that either us or our friends have done. That was a little fun one.
What else did we do?

**Shaan Puri** (0:56)
We talked about setting goals. So what the new year is gonna happen in like four weeks. So we think you should start your goals immediately. And we talked about our categories for goals. And then we also talked about Twitter. So there's a bunch of drama going on Twitter with Pipe happening, this company that's potentially gonna go bankrupt and a few other things happening in our lives about getting fights on Twitter and whether we should react or not.
It's kind of gossipy, but I love that. So that's the episode. Check it out.

All right, what up? We're back. Enough of this holiday nonsense.
How was Thanksgiving?

**Shaan Puri** (1:28)
It was easy.
Ethan came over, our friend Ethan. I don't know if you know Ethan, but he came over and he killed a turkey and he brought it over. Pretty great.

**Sam Parr** (1:39)
Did you bring like a carcass in?

**Shaan Puri** (1:41)
No, he like, I don't know how they kill it actually. I think they just chopped their head off and then he plucked it and brought it over and we ate a turkey. It was awesome. Have you ever done that?

**Sam Parr** (1:51)
No. I don't know.

**Shaan Puri** (1:56)
I know you have Indian roots. I would have thought that like your parents, your parents have probably killed a chicken or two in their lives.

**Sam Parr** (2:05)
And like, we all had like a moment where we looked at each other like, you know, turkey sucks, right? And then we just decided to go with chicken. But nevertheless, we're back.
Okay, so I discovered this website. That's kind of crazy. That's called character.ai.
And not gonna lie, I spent like 30 minutes talking to a chat bot yesterday and I had a great time. So let me tell you about this conversation.

**Shaan Puri** (2:29)
What character was it?

**Sam Parr** (2:30)
So first I picked Socrates.
You go to the website and there's a bunch of characters you could chat with. It's like AI version of Elon Musk, AI version of Walter White from Breaking Bad, AI version of Socrates. So I clicked Socrates.

**Shaan Puri** (2:44)
Socrates looks like Samuel L. Jackson with a white beard.

**Sam Parr** (2:47)
I think it literally is, which is, I don't know, maybe racist. I don't know what that is. I don't know why they did that, but nevertheless. So he goes, so here's, I'm just gonna read you the chat because it was kind of mind blowing for me. He goes, hey, I'm a Greek philosopher from Athens, born in 470 BC. I founded kind of Western philosophy, state an opinion, and that we will use the Socratic method to test its validity.
So I said, okay, I gotta come up with a spicy opinion. So I go, I believe that marriage is only needed if you're gonna have kids.
And then he goes, well, I'm not sure I agree because marriage is created to ensure that the property of both families remains within the family. It was a political thing first and an I love you thing second. I was like, whoa.
And then he goes, I go, I go, right, but I'm not talking about, I go, right, but I'm talking about nowadays, not the past. He goes, I see what you're asking. So I would say that there's legal benefits, including sharing of income and property, inheriting rights for the partner if there isn't a will and medical rights if you're incapacitated or a dying spouse. So marriage is not only a needed, but a legal right for some.
Okay, so I'm like, all right, Samuel L. Jackson Socrates, let's keep going. So I go, that's true, but I think the downsides outweigh the upsides. I mean, divorce can be messy and maybe one doesn't want to be monogamous.
