0:00 [Music] a tech firm will pay you 280 000 to have your face imprinted on robots who's down i'm down what the ████ i mean that's easy money 180 for what yeah we didn't hit the peak of the bull run yet come on dude that's going back into is it is it a sex robot because it's not a sex it's not a sex robot i would definitely because robust there has to be robots that get neglected too so i would definitely volunteer they buy you to not pay attention to you you gotta look like brad pitt probably why that guy looks like he's gone that robot that sex robot looked too sassy that would look like yeah all right

0:51 that look that robot looks skeptical about that the ████ unbelievable robot is like that's the that's the girl's face i want on my sex robot so after i come she's just like she's like yeah sure two minutes yeah a robot that's program ████ cynical bot dude yeah why is that face like look at the face like the face is so like skeptical he's making fun of you dude skip the bot and his arms are always like this it won't take any commands because it's always like i know i listen to you could i do it for a hundred [Laughter] yeah why 280 like so it's a tech company is gearing up to launch a new line of human looking robots but they want to they want them to have a friendly face also that that face ain't foreign

1:43 it's hard to find a friendly face you gotta get a better one and like 280 sounds like they scrounged up money to get 280. like yeah they couldn't do 300. just 280 y'all what about 250 that's too low all right all i got was 280. okay for licensing your face well probably could just make a range of computer generated created faces they're looking for actual humans to lend their features for the newest batch of machines can i when can i sign up i do this what does it mean that you no longer own your face that's fine you gotta have my face you won't do it for 10 bucks then you can't be in a marvel movie bro that's fine i'm not gonna own a mansion in oklahoma that's true but remember let me let me let me let me actually read where they say they're willing to pay this amount right to the special someone to hand over the

2:33 rights to their face so it's not just about putting your face onto a robot it's handing over the rights to your face in terms of like digital like they own the rice they're gonna make my face at nft yeah essentially they don't make your face anything but basically if you're if you're on instagram and it's a sponsored page you won't be able to get any money from for it they they'll get the money or if it's fine or if you post a picture of yourself they can copyright claim you now that's cool just be a ████ match to dj for the rest of your life yeah dude i would love to be dead mouse what if you do this and with the portion of the money you get plastic surgery so you just don't look like you're before yourself yeah you got a new face make one eye smaller [Laughter] oh what the ████ robo see yo they look scary dude what's the purpose of these robots anyway

3:24 why couldn't they make them attractive because then they would compete with their sex doll division [Music] because you know the sex doll robotic people they're probably the the leaders yeah yeah that's true this is what they got bro wow these are the mouth moves why do they gotta make them look like a 40 year old smoker they look like hostages those those are some you know dude this guy looks like you know that robot looks like he's about to have a stroke yeah without that the girl robot like look like she's ready yeah she's ready she's ready to go clearly they borrowed that from the sex doll division and we need some lips the company said it's hunchy for a kind and friendly face appearance but they will be open to applications from people of all races and genders though you'll have to be over the age of 25. promobot is hoping to launch their robots in hotels shopping centers and airports in north america and the middle

4:15 east from 2023 you know what that reminds me of the wax museum it feels like that or like um you know when they have those like i recently went to this um it's kind of like this weird uh history telling thing they have all these like what do you call them like they're not puppets but they're like full life figurines and then um oh that's ████ crazy but it's like it's hella janky right it's in monterey bay and then you're going and it's the history of monterey bay and then the figures look ████ weird man it's like they tell the whole story of like when the natives were there and then the whole ████ oyster diving industry or whatever and yeah it looks like that like those kind of like yeah those dead robots and ████ what are they gonna do at airports service automated service so think about

5:06 like um what were we just talking about just earlier where uh swallowing yeah yeah yeah so that's that's what they're going to be talking about like call centers or random ████ um anyways point is uh you know like you can't even uh do tech support customer service and a lot of different major corporations you don't even like talk to real human like twitter was that was it was that what we were talking about coinbase right it's not even like real people yeah working it's all automated it's all response so like putting an actual robotic face in those kind of like customer service i hope to thank god they don't have robots for the customer service can be so much worse they already know that pisses me off because i'm like where's a human you're a ████ billion dollar company whereas a human being that i got i got to fix this ████ with yeah did you guys catch the racism though in this i said we're looking for friendly faces but we're also looking

5:56 for people of all races wow the butt so what they're saying is is that we want white people but but black people are okay too we'll look at your application we'll take the eight we'll take the angry asian grandpa yeah we'll take you know diversity is cool for us you know we'll take the sad mexican you know we'll we'll do that that's the same we want friendly faces but other races are okay too yeah for now why don't you just say you want white people we want the friendly white face you guys seen uh the progressive commercial lady flow have you guys seen like the deep fake stuff yeah yeah uh like the tom cruise guy and all that stuff right like the fake technology but like we're definitely moving into a uh normalized world technologically speaking where like that is going to become more so we're gonna find that on like phone apps

6:47 as like regular apps soon we're gonna like um people are just gonna be able to kind of like jack faces and voice and like movement features or whatever right now we're seeing it on ████ like porn models and random advertisements and stuff but like what do you think is really going to happen in the metaverse near future you know what i'm saying you sign the rights off to your face like literally you can walk into the ████ metaverse and see somebody that's you and you don't have the rights to that you know what i'm saying like that's kind of like where we can go so i say we ████ got to take advantage of that ████ now you know what i'm saying so for your face for 280 g's maybe maybe maybe your face is worth more i think i love you 300 no one else believes that yeah everybody ████ looked at me steve if steve was here he would have been like ████ you nick ████ and see he's not here because he's worth more than 280 yeah

7:37 that's why he's not in jk and going on that's why he's gone dude he's never coming back we need to get him back for the diversity card dude we need a white guy here you mean a friendly face friendly family friendly very friendly face but we're also excited all races we are we're we'll think about it i would love it if someone made a deep fake of me like in like a sex video so then i could finally see what i look like having sex that'd be amazing as both people yeah i'd be like yeah yeah he fixed him as the chick i've always wanted to see myself get ████ by myself that's amazing great the girl filter thingy do you guys like where everything's going with all the crazy you know i just the advancement of technology and it's scary i don't know yet because it's not it's a theory it's like not really in

8:28 action yet you know it's like it's the very early stages yeah you know google they they can automate voices to where it sounds like humans yeah so people they uh they order pizza it's not like a regular person so when they uh publicized it people immediately complained wait a minute it doesn't sound like a robot no no you can't do that because then that means whoever has that program can call someone and fake them out into handing over money so then google said okay we're going to stop this which they didn't probably yeah and then they use their now their voices some more robotic oh wow they went backwards a little bit yeah but i'm sure they're still progressing to where um it's so basically the intonations of a person the pauses all it sounds like a regular person yeah because when you listen to some audio books or whatever sometimes you're like man this is a ████ robot it sounds weird yeah or someone from the 50s they they already have enough info

9:19 to fully replicate our image or in 3d and our voices in intonation and style already like like who has iphones you know iphones you can change the accent of siri yeah so they had before they had australian and british now they have singaporean they have indian they have a singaporean singaporean sounds a little bit indian is awesome so the girl indian just sounds like a little bit british but the guy uh indian accent is like the stereotypical guy indian accent so i told my friends like dude that's racist for indians it's not racist because that's how they learn english yeah we don't like for korean people we don't teach they don't teach english incorrectly to for the queen accent they try to do american accent but in india that's how they teach english all the characters so for them it's not racist to hear it so they have it on their iphone i always thought i'd be dope to have an app that could change the accents to like korean

10:09 accent chinese zacks and japanese that'd be awesome so you're saying in india if somebody's like really no no really that's how they learn it and i only learned that because this indian girl told me because i asked her i go hey like what's your first language she was english i go no really like what's your first language because she has an accent how is english your first language when you speak with an accent like that you know she goes no this is how we learn english oh because they're colonized by england yeah that's why that's the english thing so they don't look at it as like a detriment to them whereas like asians the big three we look at it as like we want to hide we want to eliminate yeah but like for them they're just like no this is our axis well that's like singaporean english yeah that's like they're english yeah yeah it's very hodgepodge it's very and so their acceptance is very different than ours like ours as soon as we hear someone do actually we get offended we're taught to get offended immediately because we're

10:59 trying to be white used exactly or black yeah either one we'll take both of them friendly or black it's only one of the two i thought that was interesting that is hella interesting so i have mine set on indian it's awesome so the directions are all indian accent like you know let me make a number one ████ left one ████ and it's program so they read they read all the street signs oh sun ways when like kevin hart does it he only does left right goes straight because he can't program his voice to do all the different street names but on the indian accent it's programmed to do all the streaming so he reads all the street names and he just turn the left turn right damn that's dope awesome i'm a twitch man indian so i think like in the future they're gonna have the ability to be like with unique voices like you know like kevin hart or morgan freeman to do

11:49 all the directions we're gonna be able to do that they need to do pacquiao pacquiao siri how would pacquiao go um i think maybe you go left here and it's always too late yeah yeah oh sorry it's too late where do i go yeah um i think maybe maybe i decided around [Music]
