[Assistant] All of these now are h1 elements that are going to show up the same way, such that now if I style and say I would like all h1s to show up with a color of blue, then when I open this page where I have three h1 tags, each of which has a color of blue, when I open up style.html,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I'm going to see is something like this. Three headings, each of which happens to have a color of blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what would happen now if I wanted to style only the first heading? I want heading one to be blue, but I don't want to style heading two and heading three. How do I do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, one thing we could do is go back to the inline styling we did a moment ago where inside of each one I said style color is blue and that would say for just this very first heading I would like that to be blue but not the other elements at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how do we do this? Well we need some way to uniquely reference this particular HTML element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in order to do so, we can give an HTML element an ID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An ID is just some unique name we give to an HTML element so that we can reference it more easily later on. Let me just go ahead and give this an ID of Foo. It could be any ID you want, but Foo is just a generic name here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now we've given this heading a name such that in other parts of our page or in other code, we can reference and find this particular HTML element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in particular now, in the style section of my webpage, instead of styling all h1 elements, I only want to style the element that has an id of foo. Ids are by definition unique, there can only be one element in this page that has an id of foo, otherwise it's not valid HTML.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so in order to do so, we're going to use hashtag Foo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hash mark symbol is just CSS's way of selecting just something with a particular ID. So instead of just H1 for selecting all of the H1 tags, if I want to select something by its ID, I say hash foo to say only style the element that has an ID of foo and give it a color of blue, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this style code now will find something with a particular ID and give it a style to correspond with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such that now, if I reload this page, only heading 1 is styled. Heading 2 and heading 3 are not. I've been able to name heading 1, give it a name of foo, an ID of foo, and then in my style code, just style that particular part of my HTML page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, what if I wanted to style multiple but not all of the headings? Like maybe I want to style both heading 1 and heading 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I could use a second id, maybe give this an id of bar, for example, and then style both the element with id foo and the element with id bar, but now we're starting to add ids unnecessarily. I have too many different names, things can start to get messy, especially as my webpages start to get bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So while IDs are a way of giving a name to an HTML element that is unique,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I want to give a name to an HTML element that is not unique. Some name that can apply to multiple different HTML elements. And when we do that, we call that a class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An ID is a way of giving a unique name to an HTML element, while a class is a way of giving a name to an HTML element that might not be unique. It might apply to 0 or 1 or 2 or more different HTML elements. So here's what that might look like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of giving each of these H1s an ID that's different, I can give each one a class. We'll give this a class of Baz. Again, just another arbitrary name that we've chosen. And I'll give this H1 a class of Baz as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They both belong to the same class called Baz in this case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now inside of my style code, I would like to say, just style the elements that are of class Baz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just as we had a special symbol, the hashtag, for styling only something with a particular ID, to style everything with a particular class, I can use a dot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So dot baz, in this case, is going to style only the elements that have a class of baz. So here I can now say, take all of the elements with a class of baz and go ahead and give those a color of blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I have two H1s that belong to class Baz. The other H1 does not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've styled only the things that are of class Baz, such that now when I go back to the page and refresh the page, my first two headings, those do get styled as blue, but the third heading does not. Because I've applied a class to these two elements that does not get applied to this third element there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So often times it can be very helpful if you have to start to design larger webpages where you have multiple different elements, some of which might be styled in some ways and other elements that might be styled similarly to one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can add IDs and classes to your HTML elements just to clean up the way that you write your CSS. To be able to very specifically pinpoint one element that you want to apply style to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or to apply styling to entire class of elements as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, one tricky thing you might imagine now is that now we have multiple ways of referencing the exact same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for example, if you imagine that I just had a single H1, which had an ID of Foo, for example, that I've named Foo, what would happen if, for instance, I said all of the H1s, I would like those to be colored red?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all of the elements with an idea foo, or the only element with an idea foo, I would like that to be colored blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should style h1s in this way, but I should style element foo in another way. So what happens if I have an h1 whose id is foo? How do I choose to style that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in order to deal with that, we have to start to deal with the CSS problem of specificity. Of what happens when I have multiple different CSS selectors that could apply to the exact same HTML element. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This often happens when we start to add IDs and classes to our elements as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when we deal with specificity, specificity goes in a particular order. There's an order of precedents that we can follow for determining what style should ultimately be applied to any particular element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first, most powerful, most specific way of referencing an element is inline styling. Literally adding a style equals attribute to our HTML elements the way we did way at the beginning when we were first taking a look at CSS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we associate inline styling with an HTML element, that's going to take precedence over any styling that's inside the style section of our head of the webpage or inside of a separate .css file, because the reasoning goes, if you are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally putting the style code attached to the element itself, then we probably want to apply it to that element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, specificity goes in order of how precisely we are identifying an element. An ID is a unique way to identify an element. There's only one element with that particular ID. So if I've added style to a particular ID, that is going to be pretty highly valued in terms of how specific it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next we look at classes. So if there's no ID selector, we look for, did we reference the element by its class? And if so, then that takes next precedence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And otherwise then, we fall back to what type of HTML element it is. Is it an H1? Is it an ordered list? Is it a table? So in short, the type is the least specific, class is slightly more specific, ID is more than that, and the most specificity we can provide is by literally putting the CSS in line with the HTML element itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, let's take a look at an example of this. Let's look at, uh, this code, for example, where, for instance, I have a div whose ID is foo, inside of which I'm just saying the word hello, and the CSS code that I've included here is I've said for all divs, I would like to give those a color of blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously in that case, there's nothing conflicting. What we're going to see is we're going to see the word hello, and we're going to see the word hello in blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what happens now if we add anything with ID foo should be colored red?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, because id has higher specificity than just an individual tag, well then next what we're going to say is that this hello is going to show up as red. The id is more specific, and so this element is going to show up red instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it doesn't matter what order these are in, it's not that the later one takes precedence. If I were to flip these around, where idea foo, color red,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Div color blue is in that order. It's still going to show up as red because this ID selector is more specific than just the name div, which is the name of the HTML element that happens to be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so as you start to develop more sophisticated style sheets, you might find that some of your CSS code is going to conflict with each other, and that's where it's important to bear in mind how these specificity rules work to know, as you add style to your elements, how are they actually going to end up showing up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we've seen a couple of CSS selectors now in terms of selecting a single element, selecting an ID, selecting a class, selecting multiple elements as well. It turns out there are a number of other CSS selectors that we can use too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we saw, for example, the multiple element selector, like td comma th for selecting table data, but also table headers. But there's a number of other selectors. Here's just a sampling of ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can specify, like, descendants or children. So if I only want to style divs that are inside of tables, or I only want to style lists that are inside of certain classes, I can use these descendant and child selectors to add styling in those particular ways. And there are a number of other CSS selectors we can add as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll go ahead and explore a couple of these just to give you a sample of how some of these CSS selectors can actually work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll start by taking a look at the descendant selector, which is used to select all the elements that are descendants of some other element, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then again, we'll start with the same code. And inside the body of this page, I want an ordered list that maybe has a list item 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe list item two. And it turns out with lists in HTML, you can nest lists inside of other lists. Maybe you've seen bullet points where there's like nested bullets inside of other bullet points. I can do that here. I can add an unordered list and create a sub list, like sub list item one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such that now I have a couple of items, but some that are inside of an unordered sublist. Let's go ahead and open up descendant.html and see what that looks like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's what we have. We have list item 1, list item 2, another list item that is probably actually list item 3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we have three items, but inside of list item two, I have an unordered list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's imagine, for example, that I wanted to only style these sublist items as a particular color. Maybe I want those to be blue, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If in the style section of my webpage I say that I would like for all list items to be styled blue,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then, uh, not style, colored blue, rather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then what I'm going to see when I refresh the page is that all of the items are going to be blue instead of just the two sublist items.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I could instead say that, you know what, I only want list items that are children of unordered lists. And I can do direct children using this greater than symbol to say that only if there is a UL that immediately contains an Li within it, then I would like for that to be colored blue. And now if I refresh that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you'll see that the ordered items, list item 1, 2, 3, those do not get colored, but only the list items that are inside of the unordered list, that are directly children of that unordered list, actually get the CSS styling applied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This greater than symbol here is specifying immediate children. I could get rid of it ULLI like this and this would also work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You still see sublist item 1 and 2, uhm, but this is a more general selector called the descendant selector that selects all descendant elements. So they might not be the children elements, they might be grandchildren elements, so to speak, if those children elements have other children that are attached to them as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, for all of this, it's helpful to begin to think about things in terms of that document object model, that DOM structure, that tree that represented how all of our various different HTML elements are related to one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So next up we can begin to take a look at some of the other selectors that we have access to. So one of those selectors might be something like modifying only on a specific attribute of a particular HTML element. So we can use the attribute selector for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll create a new file called attribute.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's going to have a number of different links to various different websites. So here's a list item that is going to be a link to Google. So I'll link to google.com and say Google.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'll go ahead and add a link to Facebook.com, call that Facebook. And I'll go ahead and add a link to Amazon.com and call that Amazon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's imagine for a moment that I only wanted to style the Facebook link, like I want to really highlight the Facebook link, tell people to click on that one, as by coloring it an entirely different color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, to style links normally, I would say something like links should be colored, you know, blue, for example. They're colored blue by default, but I could be explicit about it and say links should be colored blue like that. Such that now when I open up attribute.html, all of the links are colored blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this square bracket notation I can use to specify a particular attribute of an HTML element. Only anchor tags, a tags, whose href is equal to facebook.com, those should be the only ones colored red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now when I refresh this, I now see that Facebook is a link that is now colored red instead of colored blue because I've been very specific about picking an attribute that I would like to use in order to reference that particular HTML element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we can use CSS selectors in more powerful ways too. Maybe not just to style a particular element always, but to style an element only under certain conditions, or only when an element is in a particular state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is very often done for something like when you hover over something. When you hover over a button and something pops out or you hover over something and it changes color slightly. We can begin to do this by adding what we call a pseudo class to a CSS selector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's take a look at an example of that to see how we can modify an element when a user hovers their cursor over that element, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'll go ahead and open up a new file, hover.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where here, I'll go ahead and inside the body of the page, just give myself a button. This button is going to say, click me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's add some style to the button. By default, buttons show up as fairly simple buttons that just look something like this. I might like to add a little bit more to this button. And say, you know what, let's add some style to the button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I specified some size information, how big I'd like the font to be, and also a background color for the button. Such that now, here's what that button looks like. Shrink it down a little bit, it says, click me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But many buttons, especially nowadays, are a little bit of, they give you a little bit of feedback. You hover over them and they change their color slightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do they do that? Well, often it's using a CSS pseudo class where I can say button colon hover, meaning when I am hovering over a button, then I'd like you to change the background color to orange, for example, some other color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I specified that by default, normally for a button, your background color should be green. But when the button is being hovered over, instead, now change the background color to orange. Such that now when I open up this page and go to click me, if I hover over the button,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The color of the button changes. Normally green, changes to orange, and so that is a very powerful feature that we have access to as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so now we've seen how we can use various different CSS selectors to very precisely define how we want our webpages to be styled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But one other thing we can use CSS for that's quite powerful is responsive design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And responsive design is all about making sure that our webpages look good no matter how you're looking at the webpage. Nowadays people aren't always looking at webpages on their computers, but they're looking at webpages on their mobile phones or on their tablets as well. And it's important as we begin to design webpages that we design our webpages in a responsive way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we'll look at a number of different ways we can implement responsive design in our webpages, starting with the discussion of the viewport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what the viewport is, is the viewport is the visual part of the screen that the user can actually see. So the viewport is this entire area of the webpage that displays content to the user.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one question you might ask is what's going to happen when you take this page and translate it onto a mobile screen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, one thing that many mobile devices do by default is treat their viewport as though it is the same width as a computer screen. Because not all webpages are optimized for mobile devices, you want to make sure that on a mobile device you can see everything. And so many phones will take a webpage like this and just shrink it down to fit onto a mobile screen that looks a little something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so one simple thing we can do is just to add a little line of code to our HTML inside the head section of our page that controls the viewport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This line of code here is providing some metadata to our HTML page and saying I would like you to change the viewport to be specifically the width of the device. By default, many phones will use a viewport that's actually wider than the width of the device, treat it as if they're loading a page on a computer and then shrinking it down to the size of a mobile device.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you and your webpage specify though, that you want the viewport to be just the device width, often times a page is going to look a whole lot better on a mobile device.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in addition to just adding a line like this, there are other actual changes we can make to our page to make it look a little better on different screens. And one of those has to do with media queries. And media queries are all about controlling how our page is going to look depending on how we render that particular page or what size screen we're rendering that page on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's take a look at an example of how we might go about using media queries in order to control what a page actually looks like depending on what type of page or what type of browser we're using to view it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'll go ahead and open a new file that I'll call responsive.html because we're going to try and build a responsive web page now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now, I'll go ahead and inside the body of my page, just include a big heading that says welcome to my web page, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just to demonstrate what you can do now with responsive design is I could say something like, let me add a style tag here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where I want to say that if the size of the screen is a certain width, then I want to style the page in one way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if the size of the page is a different width, then I might want to style the page in a different way. You might imagine that as you shrink the screen, you want to move elements around in order to rearrange them to make the page just look a little bit nicer on a mobile screen. So we'll do a very simple example of just changing the color, depending on the size of the screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let me specify now in a media query, and the syntax for a media query looks like this. I'm going to use the at symbol and say media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then specify for what type of media I would like to apply this query. I can say something like, if the minimum width of the page is 600 pixels, in other words, if the width of the page is 600 pixels or anything larger than 600 pixels, we'll then go ahead and take the body and give it a background color of red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then I could also add another media query and say, you know what, for this media query, let me give it a max width of 599 pixels. Meaning, if the size of the screen is 599 pixels or fewer, then maybe I'd like to take the body and give it a background color of blue, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now let's take a look at what happens when I take this page and actually open it and see what's going on. I'll open up responsive.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here's what I see normally. I see a red webpage because my screen is longer than 600 pixels wide. But notice what happens as I shrink this webpage. If I go ahead and shrink it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking at it on a smaller screen, eventually, it turns to blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's above 600 pixels wide it's going to be red, if it's below 600 pixels wide the color changes to blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're able to now use these media queries to really fine-tune the control how our page is going to look on various different types of devices. If it's on a big screen, maybe you want the elements to look a certain way. If it's a smaller screen, maybe they'll look differently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you don't just need to control background color. You can control any CSS property you want just by using these media queries. You can say on a big screen you want certain amounts of spacing or padding. You can even hide elements on smaller screens if you want to by using a particular CSS property called the display property that controls whether or not an element is even visible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And ultimately put together, this can help to make your pages a little bit more responsive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there are a number of different media queries that we can apply to our page as well. We can check to see whether a mobile device is vertical or landscape. We can check to see whether the user is viewing the page on their computer screen or if they've tried to print out the contents of the page as well. So there are a number of different options that we have to really control how a page is going to look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's some other tools we have in our toolbox as well, though, for dealing with mobile responsiveness. And one of the tools built into the latest version of CSS is something called Flexbox.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Flexbox is quite helpful if we have multiple elements that we're all trying to display on the same page at the same time that might overflow if we're not careful about how we do responsive design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we're really not careful, let's imagine I have six elements that show up on my computer's monitor. When you translate that to a mobile screen, you can imagine they may all shrink down so that they're barely visible. Something like this. This is probably not what we want if we're trying to design a mobile responsive page, for example. So you might imagine, how can we do a little bit better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, another thing we could do is take these elements and go ahead and keep them the same size, but make you have to scroll through them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would be really nice is given that we have all this extra space, I would like to be able to wrap around elements if I don't have enough space for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such that if I'm translating these six elements to a mobile screen, they translate, but I get them in like two rows, for example. Three on the top and three below. And Flexbox is an easy way to be able to implement something like this inside of our webpages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's take a look at what that might actually look like to add Flexbox to our page. So I'll go ahead and create a new file called flexbox.html. We'll start with the same HTML code. And now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're creating a container because we're going to specifically say that everything inside the container I would like to add flexbox to, to be able to wrap it around so that things can go onto multiple lines if I ever need to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now let me just add some sample text. So this is some sample text inside of a div to demo flexbox. And I'll go ahead and repeat this maybe like 12 times. And I'll number each one. Here's one, two, three, four, and I'll number all the rest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is just to give a demonstration of what these elements could actually look like. Ideally these would be different pieces of content though. So now, inside of my style tag,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's what I'm going to say, just to demonstrate. I'll say, take the ID container. Again, the hashtag specifies, get me something with a particular ID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in particular, I would like to use the flex-wrap property to say if there's not enough room at the end of a line for all of the elements, go ahead and wrap around those elements onto the next line instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I can specify some additional CSS properties for the divs inside of the container. So I can say for the container.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of the divs inside of that container, again using this child selector to get all of the divs that are inside of the container, I can add some CSS to that too. I can say let's give these a background color of like a shade of green. I can give them a particular font, maybe 20 pixel font.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give them some margin and padding, just to add some space. And maybe each one is going to be 200 pixel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just adding some spacing to those individual divs, the important part is this right here, where I've said that this whole container is going to be a flexbox container, and I'd like to wrap around elements if you ever reach the end. So now I'll open up flexbox.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so here, I now see 12 elements that are on multiple lines, but notice what happens as I shrink the page. If there isn't room for all of them,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elements move onto other lines. Now there's only three elements in any particular row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now there's only two elements in any particular row, and so I can use Flexbox to very well adapt myself to different size screens. And no matter whether you're looking at this on a big screen or a small screen, the content is still going to look good because I'm able to adapt responsively to whatever might be happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is one layout paradigm that exists within CSS, this flexbox layout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are other layouts that exist as well. One common one is the grid layout. For any time you want to arrange things in a particular grid, where maybe certain columns need to be certain widths, but others can maybe be a little bit more flexible. I'll show one example of that too, just to give you a demonstration of what that grid layout might look like. So here's grid.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where I'll go ahead and inside the body of this page, give myself a div whose, I'll give it an ID of grid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have a whole bunch of grid items inside of a div whose ID is grid. And now I'd like to add some style here. I'll say for the grid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's give it a background color maybe. Maybe a background color should be green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Display is going to be grid. I want this to show up as a grid. And now there are a couple of attributes I'm going to, or properties that I'm going to specify here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I want some padding around the grid first, but the important grid properties are grid, column, gap. How much space goes between each of the columns? Maybe I'll say like 20 pixels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Likewise, there's also a grid row gap. How much space goes between each of the rows of the grid? Maybe I'll say 10 pixels here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then finally, grid template columns is a way for me to specify how many columns there are going to be and how wide should each of those columns be. So if I want maybe three columns, I can specify that the first column should be 200 pixels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second column should also be 200 pixels. And the third column can be automatically sized, just grow or shrink to fill the screen. So we'll say auto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first column 200 pixels, second column 200 pixels, third column, just do it automatically. And now for all of the grid items.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, those I can add some styling to as well. I'll give them a background color of white just to distinguish them and also give them some font size and some padding and maybe center them as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just adding some additional CSS properties in order to make it display the way I want to. But the important ones to care about here are display as grid, and then I'm specifying here is how the grid should be laid out. How much space between columns, how much space between rows, and how wide are each of those rows going to be. Now if I open up grid.html,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's what that grid looks like. I now have a first column, 200 pixels wide, a second column, also 200 pixels wide, and a third column that's going to resize dynamically based on how wide or how narrow my screen happens to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as I shrink the screen, the third column shrinks with it. As I grow the screen, uh, it also grows alongside with how big this window happens to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so Flexbox and Grid are some very powerful tools that we can use just to make it easier for us to be able to use mobile responsive design, to be able to make sure that our pages look good no matter what kind of browser or what kind of device the user is using in order to look at our page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bootstrap is a very popular CSS library that we can use in order to use some styling that they have written such that we don't need to write all the styling from scratch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is what Bootstrap's website looks like. I'll go ahead and show it to you now just to give you a sampling for what's available inside of a library like Bootstrap. If I go to getbootstrap.com


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's Bootstrap's website, and if I go to their documentation on this first link here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can look at all of the bootstrap components that I'm given access to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are things like alerts, for example, that here's an alert that's styled in a very particular way. It's in a specific font. It's gotten a certain amount of padding and certain colors. And if I want to just copy this alert, once I've used Bootstrap's code, I can just apply certain classes to a div.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Bootstrap will handle the process of applying the right styles for me. I don't need to write all of these styles by myself from scratch. Bootstrap's written a lot of this styling already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how do you actually go about using Bootstrap? Well, to get started with Bootstrap, all you need to do is copy the CSS link that Bootstrap gives you to the top of your file. So if I take the CSS link and then go back to something like hello.html, which you'll recall originally looked something like this, just hello world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can add some bootstrap to it to say, alright, I would like to take this HTML file and apply bootstrap styling to it to make it look a little bit nicer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I refresh the page, and now you'll notice Bootstrap's chosen a custom font for me, just to make things look a little nicer in Bootstrap's own eyes. And now if I want to add Bootstrap elements, I can say, alright,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me go to their components, and I wanna add an alert. I can just copy their alert code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's their alert code for a primary alert, an alert that looks blue. And I can just, inside the body of my page, go ahead and add an alert. And maybe change the text to, here is my alert, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when I reload hello.html, I now see an alert that shows up, styled according to bootstrap styling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And again, I can change that styling just by changing these classes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a primary alert shows up as blue, a success alert shows up as green, a danger alert is red. So if I want to give a danger alert, the user is doing something wrong on the web page, for example, I can change alert primary here inside my HTML to something like alert danger instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now when I refresh this page, I now see the alert shows up as red instead of blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Bootstrap gives us access to a lot of these various different types of components, different ways of adding breadcrumbs and alerts and carousels and other elements to our page just to make it easy to make our page look good very, very quickly without having to worry too much about writing our own CSS because Bootstrap's written a lot of that for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bootstrap even includes a way to make sure that web pages are mobile responsive using something called Bootstrap's column model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'll show you an example of that now. Bootstrap divides its page into 12 distinct columns. So one thing I can do is I've pulled this up in an example I have in advance called column0.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Notice that inside of the body of my page now, I have a div whose class is container, and then a div whose class is row, and bootstrap divides every row into a 12 unit column.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here, for example, I have a whole bunch of divs that are each three unit columns. So if I have four three unit columns, that will take up a total amount of space equal to 12, meaning filling up the entirety of the screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's what that looks like. I have four columns, each of which is of width three, and as a result, as I shrink it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those columns will automatically resize to make sure that they're always the appropriate size. Now, as long as they add up to 12, they don't all need to be the same size. So for example, if I only wanted three columns instead of four, I could get rid of the fourth column by deleting those rows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe change the second column. Instead of being a column of size 3, let's make it a column of size 6. So that's a length 6 column instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now if I refresh the page, now suddenly I see three columns where the middle one is twice as large as the ones on either end. And as I shrink this down, I can see that it shrinks down as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of the advantages of using bootstrap columns is that they too can be mobile responsive. They too can wrap around other lines if they ever need to. So for example, let me pull up columns1.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, for example, I have a row. And let's take a look at what's going on in here. Recall that every row in Bootstrap is divided up into 12 column units. But Bootstrap, in addition to letting me specify how many units a column should take up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also lets me specify how many units that column should take up depending on the size of the screen. So if I'm on a large screen, as indicated by lg, this is saying that on a large screen, this div should take up three units of space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this div should also take up three units of space. And for each of these four divs on a large screen, each will take up three of the total 12 units of space, so they'll all show up on one row. What happens on a small screen though?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well here, call sm for column on a small screen. I've said on a small screen, each column should take up six units of space, six or half of the total 12 that I have in the row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I use up 6 here, 6 here for a total of 12 in one row, which means the next two, also a size 6, need to go on to a second row. And Bootstrap is smart enough to do this math for me and figure out how exactly these elements should ultimately be laid out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a large screen, I see four columns all on the same row, but as I shrink down to a smaller screen eventually,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see that things change. I now see the third and fourth sections move down onto the second row because on a smaller screen now, when the window is smaller, now I only have the ability to show two elements in any particular row. So I get two on the first row and then two on the row underneath that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So all in all, there are a lot of different ways now that we can use CSS in order to make sure our pages are mobile responsive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can use Bootstrap's column model to make sure the columns move around whenever a size of the window shrinks or grows. We can also use things like Flexbox and the grid model, writing our own CSS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make sure that our page is responsive depending on the size of the screen that the user happens to be using in order to visit our web page. So these are some of the very powerful features that we get using just CSS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one thing you might imagine is that as we begin to write more and more CSS, there's going to be more and more repetition. Things that appear again and again and again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we've already seen some ways that we can minimize redundancy in CSS. We've seen how we can move CSS into the style section of our webpage. We've even seen how we can move CSS to an entirely different file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, what we haven't yet seen is how to deal with other types of redundancies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so let's take a look at an example of that now. Let's imagine, for example, that I want to style multiple different elements, uh, in different ways, but using some common properties. So for example, let me create a new file that I'll, in this case, call variables.html. And you'll see why in a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go ahead and copy hello.html, but I'll get rid of all this bootstrap inside of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's imagine that here I have maybe two lists, an ordered list and an unordered list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, just for sake of demonstration, I'm showing that we have these two lists now. And I'll open up variables.html just to give you a sense for what that could look like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe inside the style section of my page, I want to style the unordered list to have a font size of 14 pixels and maybe a color of red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my ordered list, I would like that to have a font size of maybe larger, 18 pixels, but also a color of red. I want to keep the same color for all the text, but I want the font sizes to be different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if I refresh this page, here's what I see. They are indeed of different sizes. The ordered list items are larger than the unordered list items. And they're all red, but there was some redundancy, some repetition that was introduced when I was writing my CSS code. In particular, when I was writing my CSS code,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've repeated this usage of the color red. If I ever want to change the color from red to blue, for example, I'm going to have to change my code in two different places. Ultimately, I just like for my CSS to be a little bit more powerful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so that brings us to our last topic today, which is a language called SAS. And SAS is a language that is essentially an extension to CSS. It adds additional features to what CSS has to offer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to make it a little bit more powerful for us to be able to use and manipulate CSS in a way that's going to be faster and remove some of the repetition that we might have had in CSS previous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of the key features of SAS is the ability to have variables. So let's take a look at an example of this now. I'm going to create a new file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally when we created our CSS files, we called them like variables.css, something .css to stand for a CSS file. SAS is a different language though, so it's going to require a different extension. We're going to conventionally use .scss to stand for this is a SAS file. So here is now variables.scss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now what I can do in SAS is I can actually create variables in the same way that we could create variables in a programming language like Python, which we'll soon see. CSS normally doesn't support variables, but SAS is going to give us that power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In SAS, all variables begin with a dollar sign. So I can create a variable, dollar sign color, to create a variable called color. And I can say the variable called color is going to be equal to red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this line here, line one, is my way of telling SAS I'd like to create a variable called color, and I'd like for its value to be red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I can add the same styling I had before. I can just use normal CSS and say for an unordered list, I'd like the font size to be 14 pixels. But the color, instead of saying red here, I can use the name of a variable. I can say dollar sign color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To mean go ahead and use the value of the variable color as the color for this unordered list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then for an ordered list, I'll also say font size 18 pixels and say color should also be this variable called color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By using a variable, I've removed the repetition. Rather than having the word red show up in multiple places in my code where I would need to change it twice if I ever needed to change it, now I have defined the variable once and I only ever need to change it in one place if I ever need to make modifications to this particular file. So now let's try and link this file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of, uh, we'll go back to variables.html. Instead of putting the style code here, I'll go ahead and link a style sheet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And say the href should be variables.scss because that's the file where my styling exists. So now let me try and open up variables.html after I've linked the CSS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And alright, something seems not quite right. I specified font sizes, I specified that everything should be red, but it's not showing up. Everything is showing up black, and I don't see any of the differences in sizing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason for this is, while the web browser, things like Chrome and Safari and Firefox can understand CSS, they can't by default understand SCSS or SAS. SAS is an extension to CSS that web browsers don't understand out of the box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in order to solve this problem, once we've written our SAS file, we need to compile it, convert it, translate it, so to speak, from SAS into plain old CSS so that our browser is able to understand it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, you'll need to, in order to do this, you'll need to install a program called SAS onto your computer. You can install it on Mac or PC or Linux. And now in the terminal, in order to do this compilation, I'm going to say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So variables.scss is the file that I would like to compile. And the file I'd like to generate is variables.css. I'd like to turn my sass file into a plain old CSS file. I'll go ahead and press return. And alright, that compilation process is now done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so now, inside of variables.html, instead of referencing the SCSS file, I'm going to reference the CSS file as the style sheet. Because my web browser only understands CSS, it doesn't understand SAS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when I load the page, now I see the result I expect. Everything shows up as red, and the font sizes are different. So ultimately this was a two-step process. I first needed to take my SAS code, compile it into CSS, and then I could link the CSS to this particular page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the advantage now is that if ever I want to make some sort of change, I want to change the color, rather than change it in two places or you might imagine in a more complex page, like tens or dozens of places, I just go to the SCSS file and I change the color from red to blue. Now if I refresh the page,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, everything is still red, and it's because I forgot a step. I changed the SAS file, but that doesn't automatically change the CSS file. I need to now recompile the CSS file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By saying sass variables.scss variables.css to compile the file again using the updated sass file. And now I see the updated changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you're curious as to what the updated file looks like, I'm gonna actually look at variables.css to see what code happens to be there. And though it's styled a little bit strangely, you can see that I have a UL with a font size of 14 and a color of blue. So they've substituted the word blue for this variable and they've done the same thing for ordered lists as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, in practice, it's going to be pretty annoying if I'm building a webpage, building using SAS, if I constantly need to go back and recompile my SAS into CSS every single time. What I'd like to do is just automate that process. And SAS makes it easy to do this. I can just say SAS dash dash watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what that's going to do is now you see SAS is watching for changes. SAS is going to monitor the variables.scss file. And if ever I change my SAS file, SAS is going to know about it, and it's automatically going to recompile the corresponding CSS file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can do this not just with single files, but entire directories as well if you have multiple different SAS files. So now, what I can do...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is if in the variables.scss file, I change the color. Instead of blue, I now want it to be green, for example. I now save the variables.scss file. And now, without doing anything, take a look at my terminal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] SAS detected a change to variables.scss, so it gave me a new version of my original CSS file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I go back to my web browser now, refresh the page, now all of the text is green as I would expect it to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's one of the very powerful features that SAS gives us. It gives us the ability to add variables to our CSS code just to factor out commonalities. If there are common fonts, common colors, common borders, common styling that I want to apply to a lot of different things, it becomes much easier just to use SAS in order to do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And finally, we'll take a look at a couple of other features that SAS gives us the ability to do. One of them is the ability to nest CSS selectors inside of other CSS selectors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one thing you've seen so far, for example, is that in CSS, if I wanted to style all of the unordered lists that are inside of divs, for example, I could say like div arrow unordered list in order to style unordered lists that are inside of divs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What CSS, what SAS will do is it'll give us a bit of a nicer syntax for doing this type of thing. In particular, by allowing us to nest CSS inside of other pieces of CSS. So just as an example of this, I'll go ahead and open up a file I already brought called nesting.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so here's what we might see inside of nesting.html. Here's the body of the page. Inside the body of the page, I have a div.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside of which is a paragraph inside the div and also a list, an unordered list or UL, that's inside of this div as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we also have a paragraph that's outside of the div. And a list that's outside of the div.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in addition to that. So a number of different elements, some of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Mr. Swan. Hello, Mr. Swan. Do we have any ideas yet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got a very heavy sauce, very pungent flavour, and onion on top of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With those delicate flavors of coral trout particularly and King George Whiting. Yes. Two of the most delicate fish in the ocean. You've got to be careful how you put it all together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about Sashi's chicken rice dish? Chicken rice is a very simple dish. Haven't done enough. Other flavours there. Jess at the end there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chicken rice is a very homely dish. I love the flavour of it. You know, we're sitting here, it's a little bit cool, chilli's great. The chicken's actually cooked very nicely, the texture of it is nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Best part of the chicken is the brown meat. I think it was a missed opportunity seeing all the bones, all the frames sitting there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm only one cook away from the finale. I'm almost there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kind of really want to do this for my sister and my mother. Like, mum's pretty supportive. She's kind of like, look, do what you can, don't put too much pressure on yourself. My sister's like, complete opposite of like, you better win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that mum would be proud of me no matter what and I want to show her that like all her hard work has achieved something awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm just gonna give it my best. I uhm, I really wanted to do it for a while, but I haven't figured out how to master ship it up. And I think today I have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm watching both of my temperatures and my anglaise is about to hit the temperature and so is my honeycomb. Oh my god, they're both gonna go at the same time! Can you not both go at the same time, please?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm freaking out because they both can't come to temperature at the same time because I don't have enough hands. My honeycomb and my ombre are going at the same time!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ugh, my anglaise is done, my honeycomb still has about 20 degrees to go, so I can definitely strain this off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Shannon? I know I'm gonna have to get back onto it, but I'll deal with that later. I've got the garlic oil to infuse my lemongrass in now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm used to multitasking, but I'm doing like three things at once. What, what are you going to achieve in this hour? Uhm, this needs to be done. My fish needs to be- What is this? Uhm, so this is my, uhm, lemongrass oil. I'm gonna put my vermicelli noodles into it, then roll it, and then have it all ready to go served. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. And the noodles need to be cooked. And your herbs need to be prepped. Yes. Okay, you've got a lot to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Time is slipping away from me. This is absolutely crazy. And why do I have so many elements? I actually am running really behind right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the past contestants are here. And the pressure's just totally ramped up now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't sell this fish, I know I can't. I'm really running out of hope right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm so far behind. And I still don't have any plates up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can do this, you can do this buddy. Buddy, you can do this. Stop raking. It's fine. Oh, this is here. We're well into service now and I still don't have any plates out. I'm just trying to keep myself calm. I'm trying to keep myself focused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just can't give up at this point. Come on, come on, come on, come on. I can do this. Come on! Come on, you're fine, you're fine, come on. Just do it, push through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to get my plates up and I'm going to get the plates out. This is too important and I want to be cooking in that finale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really hope that I take them to Vietnam and show them something new, something exciting, something that's different. I wanted to take them back to like my home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cannot believe I'm getting things out. I thought I was done for. So hopefully I can keep this momentum up and get all my plates out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's usually really light and airy. What a disaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have time to start on another one, so I'm just gonna need to get on the plate. I really don't have any other choice right now. I gathered honeycomb around the plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cover it with a big scoop of the violet ice cream. Honeycomb on top. Finish off just with a little bit of the violet flowers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sending my dish out. I'm just hoping that moose is not gonna be a major problem. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that everything's gonna work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been awesome, every single one of them. I've loved the food, I've loved cooking, I've loved being mentored by you guys, but it's these guys. Definitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't sharks have bones? Sharks belong to a special class of animals called chondrichthys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The skeleton of these animals is not made of bones, instead it is made of cartilage. Car what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cartilage is the same stuff that our ears and nose are made up of. And it is due to this material that sharks are able to skillfully maneuver in water. But how? Wait, I'll explain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cartilage is less dense than bones. Hence, it is much lighter, making sharks weigh less and thus, helping them stay afloat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also as the cartilage is flexible, it gives sharks the ability to swim quickly, catch its prey as well as conserve energy. Besides this, studies have shown that the skeleton made of cartilage heals faster than that made of bones. So, sharks are boneless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are right. But besides taste, we don't drink seawater because it contains extreme amount of salt. Which can have dangerous effects on our body. Really? Indeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, normally in our body the amount of water and salt, inside and outside ourselves is the same. However, if we drink seawater, the amount of salt outside ourselves will increase. Making the outside region much more concentrated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hence, to dilute the outside region and maintain balance, inside and outside the cells. The water present inside the cells starts flowing outside, causing our cells to shrink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, this can have really dangerous consequences, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely. Moreover, to remove the extreme amount of salt, our kidneys will produce more urine. Making us urinate more water and thus, causing severe dehydration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our blood mainly consists of a liquid called plasma. Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. However, the color of our blood is basically because of red blood cells. Each of the red blood cells contains hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When hemoglobin binds with oxygen, the interaction between them gives our blood its red color.

[Assistant] Moreover, like human beings, not all animals have red colored blood. This is because the blood of some animals such as octopuses, spiders, etc. has hemocyanin instead of hemoglobin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hemocyanin is a copper-containing protein. When hemocyanin binds with oxygen, their interaction gives the blood a blue color. The blood of some lizards has biliverdin, instead of hemoglobin, which give their blood a green color.

[Assistant] Why do we bite our nails? To save our expenses on manicure. Nah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nail biting or onychophagia is a bad habit and there's no specific reason why people do it. HA!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll find the reason in only two seconds. Don't bother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A habit forms due to three things. A trigger, action, and reward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That will leave two contestants speechless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How does one, uhm, just in the middle of doing all the things you do, uh, create cars, uh, rockets?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All this stuff you're doing, constantly innovating, decides to just make a flamethrower. Where do you have the time for that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe for yourself, but selling a flamethrower, the liabilities, all the people you're selling this device to, what kind of unhinged people are going to be buying a flamethrower in the first place? Do we really want to connect ourselves to all these potential arsonists?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you do so many different things. Forget about the flamethrower. Like, how do you do all that other shit? Like, how do you, how do you, how does one decide to fix LA traffic by drilling holes in the ground? And who do you even approach with that? Like, when you have this idea, who do you talk to about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're, you're starting this though. This is actually a project you're starting to implement, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Now when you're doing this, what is the ultimate plan? The ultimate plan is to have these in major cities and anywhere there's mass congestion and just try it out in LA first?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have to tell them what the pit's for or you just say, Hey, we just want to dig a hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, but do you have to give them some sort of a blueprint for your ultimate idea? And do they have to approve it? Like how does that work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you say this is the beginning of this idea? Yes. We're gonna build tunnels under LA to help funnel traffic better. And they go, and they just go, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that, we, we've joked around about this in the podcast before, that like, what if the person can go to the people that run the city and go, hey, uh, we're gonna dig some holes on the ground, put some tunnels in there. And they go, oh yeah, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But my question is like, I know how much time you must be spending on your Tesla factory, I know how much time you must be spending on SpaceX, and yet you still have time to dig holes under the ground in LA and come up with these ideas and then implement them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't know how you manage your time. I don't understand it. It doesn't seem, it doesn't even seem humanly possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you must understand there's not a whole lot of human beings like you. You know that, right? To your inaudibles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One notch above a chimp. Some of us are a little more confused. When I watch you doing all these things, I'm like, how does this motherfucker have all this time and all this energy and all these ideas and then people just let him do these things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm an alien. That's what I've speculated. Yes. I'm on record saying this in the past. I wonder. It's true. If there was one, I was like if there was like maybe an intelligent being that we created, you know, like some AI creature that's superior to people, maybe just hang around with us for a little while like you've been doing and then fix a bunch of shit. Maybe that's the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might, do you think you do? Probably. Do you wonder? Like, when you're around normal people, you're like, hm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You scared the shit out of me when you talk about AI, between you and Sam Harris. I didn't even consider it until I had a podcast with Sam once, and he made me shit my pants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a video that you tweeted about one of those Boston Dynamic Robots. And you're like, in the future it'll be moving so fast you can't see it without a strobe light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paying attention too much other than people like you or people that are really obsessed with technology. All these things are happening and these robots are... Did you see the one where PETA put out a statement that you shouldn't kick robots?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet it is. Yes. And getting better every day. It's really good. Are you honestly legitimately concerned about this? Are you, is like AI one of your main worries in regards to the future?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. So you used to have more hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How far do you think we are from something that can make its own mind up, whether or not something's ethically or morally correct, or whether or not it wants to do something, or whether or not it wants to improve itself, or whether or not it wants to protect itself from people or from other AI? How far away are we from something that's really truly sentient?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Humans and electronics all interfacing and constantly now, constantly connected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that I've been thinking about a lot over the last few years is that one of the things that drives a lot of people crazy is how, how many people are obsessed with materialism and getting the latest, greatest thing, and I wonder how much of that is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well a lot of it is most certainly fueling technology and innovation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it almost seems like it's built into us. It's like what we like and what we want, that we're fueling this thing that's constantly around us all the time. And it doesn't seem possible that people are going to pump the brakes. It doesn't seem possible at this stage where we're constantly expecting the newest cell phone, the latest Tesla update, the newest MacBook Pro. Everything has to be newer and better. And that's going to lead to some incredible point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it seems like it's built into us. It almost seems like it's an instinct. That we're working towards this. That we like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our job, just like the ants build the ant hill, our job is to somehow or another fuel this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it makes sense. And the thinking of it as a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean think of, thinking of corporations and just thinking of just human beings communicating online through these social media networks as some sort of an organism that's a, it's a cyborg. It's a, it's a combination. It's a combination of electronics and biology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereas like, one of the reasons why probably Instagram is more enticing than Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, you get more images, more video. Yes. Tweaking your system more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, a lot of people didn't see Twitter coming that, you know, communicating with 140 characters or 280 now would be a thing that people would be interested in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's gonna excel, it's gonna become more connected to us, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what happened with you where you decided or you took on a more fatalistic attitude? Like what, was there any specific thing or was it just the inevitability of our future?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are people more inclined to listen today? It seems like an issue that's brought up more often over the last few years than it was maybe five, ten years ago, it seemed like science fiction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you feel like this is decades away or years away?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From being too late. If you have this fatalistic attitude, and you feel like it's going, we're in a, almost like a doomsday countdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where it gets spooky, right? The idea that it can do thousands of years of innovation very, very quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will be like this ridiculous biological shitting pissing thing trying to stop the gods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, stop. We like, we like living with a finite life span and watching, you know, Norman Rockwell paintings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that it's likely that we will merge somehow or another with this sort of technology and it will augment what we are now? Or do you think it will replace us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what's like the ultimate, what's, what's the idea behind it? Like what are you trying to accomplish with it? Like what would you like best case scenario?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So instead of replacing us, it will radically change our capabilities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which would be, how much different than people today? Like if you had to explain it to a person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who didn't really understand what you were saying. Like how much different are you talking about? When you say radically improved, like what do you mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Versus some sort of Ray Kurzweil scenario where they download themselves into a computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is just inevitable. Again, going back to your, when you decided to be, have this fatalistic viewpoint. So you weren't, you tried to warn people, you talked about this pretty extensively. I've read several interviews where you talked about this and then you just sort of just said, okay, it just is. Let's just, and you, in a way you're, by communicating,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The potential fear, I mean, for sure you're getting the warning out to some people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what did he say? He said what about Hillary? Worry about her first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it that or do they just assume that someone smarter than them is already taking care of it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause when people hear about something like AI, it's almost abstract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost, it's almost like it's so, it's so hard to wrap your head around it by the time it already happens, it'll be too late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems, I mean, I know that it's probably something that the government's supposed to handle, but it seems like I wouldn't want the, I don't want the government to handle this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who do you want to handle it? Oh geez. Yeah. I feel like you're the one who could ring the bell better. Cause if, if Mike Pence starts talking about AI, I'm like, shut up bitch, you don't know anything about AI. Come on man. He doesn't know what he's talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have agreements where you're not supposed to dump toxic waste into the ocean. You're not supposed to do certain things that could be terribly damaging even though they'd be profitable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe this is one of those things. Maybe we should realize that you can't hit the switch on something that's going to be able to think for itself and make up its own mind as to whether or not it wants to survive or not and whether or not it thinks you're a threat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whether or not it thinks you're useless, like why do I keep this dumb, finite life form alive? Why, why keep this thing around? It's just stupid, it just keeps polluting everything, shitting everywhere it goes, lighting everything on fire and shooting each other. Why would I keep this stupid thing alive? Cause sometimes it makes good music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, all those reasons. Yeah, for us, those are great reasons. Yes. But for anything objective, standing outside, like, oh, this is definitely a flawed system. This is like, if you went to the jungle and you watched these chimps engage in warfare and beat each other with sticks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're cruel. Yeah, they're, they're, they're calculated. Yeah. Yeah. They sneak up on each other and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if we hadn't, we'd be like, man, I don't wanna fuckin' live in a house. I like the chimp ways, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chimp ways to go. This is it, man. Chimp life. But we, in a way, to the AI, might be like those chimps. I'm like, these stupid fucks launching missiles out of drones and shooting each other underwater. Like, we're crazy. We got torpedoes and submarines and fucking...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Airplanes that drop nuclear bombs indiscriminately on cities. Or assholes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. They might go, why are they doing this? It might like look at our politics, look at what we do in terms of our food system, what kind of food we force down each other's throats. And they might go, these people are crazy, they don't even look out for themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, constantly I'm obsessed. I saw that David Attenborough documentary on chimps where they were eating those colobus monkeys and ripping them apart. I saw that many, many years ago and it just changed how I go, oh, this is why people are so crazy. We came from that thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. Mom won't bang her sons. Shhh, they're good women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're, we're a weird thing, you know, and I've often wondered if whether or not we're, you know, our ultimate goal is to give birth to some new thing. And that's why we're so obsessed with technology. Because it's not like this technology is really, I mean, it's certainly enhancing our lives in a certain way, but is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, ultimately, is it making people happier right now? Most technology, I would say no. In fact, you and I were talking about social media before this, about just not having Instagram on your phone and not dealing, and you feel better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not even something you should want. Why do you want to look great all the time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wasn't that a Thoreau quote? That comparison is a thief of joy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great too. But the comparison is the thief of joy really holds true to people. Is it? Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt. Fascinating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you're thinking about Instagram, because what essentially Instagram is with a lot of people is you're giving them the opportunity to be their own PR agent. And they always go towards the glamorous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and when anybody does show, you know, hashtag no filter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They really do do that, like, oh you're so brave, look at you, no makeup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They look good anyway. You look great. What are you doing? Oh my god, you don't have makeup on. You still look hot as fuck. You know what you're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know what you're doing too. They're, they're, they're letting you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they're feeding off that comment section, ooooh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sitting there like, like it's a fresh stream of love. Like you're getting right up to the source as it comes out of the earth and you're sucking that sweet sweet love water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My concern is not so much what Instagram is, is that I didn't think that people had...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like where is it? Is it going to be augmented? Some sort of a weird augmented or virtual sort of Instagram type situation where you're not going to want to live in this real world. You're going to want to interface with this sort of world that you've created through your social media page. Some next level thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've only done it a couple times, quite honestly, cause it kinda freaks me out. Sure. My kids fucking love it, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They love it. They love playing these weirdo games and walking around with that headset on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But part of me watching them do it goes, wow, I wonder if this is like the precursor. Just sort of like if you look at that phone that Gordon Gekko had on the beach, and then you compare that to like a Galaxy Note 9. Like how the fuck did that become that, right? And I wonder when I see this HTC Vive, I'm like, what is that thing gonna be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10 years from now, when we're making fun of what it is now, what is it, how, I mean, how ingrained and how, how connected and interconnected is this technology going to be in our life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we'll lose this. We'll lose this. Like you and I are just looking at each other through our eyes. I see you, you see me, I think, I hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could be here now on our way to the road or on our way to the destination where this can never happen again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we are completely ingrained in some sort of an artificial technology or some sort of a symbiotic relationship with the internet or the next level of sharing information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But right now we're not there yet. That's possible too, right? It's possible that a simulation is one day going to be inevitable. That we're going to have something that's indistinguishable from regular reality. But maybe we're not there yet. That's also possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I touch that wood, maybe that's why everybody's like into like mason jars and shit, suede shoes, people are into like craft restaurants and they want raw wood, everyone wants to see metal. It seems like people are like longing towards some weird log cabin type nostalgia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Makes me lose faith in humanity. Oh, those dirty people. That's just assholes. That's like people make pet rocks. Rough. Right? Some people are just assholes. They take advantage of our, our, our generous nature. It was made with a wine stem. Made with a handle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like, fake breasts that are designed to be hard, like fake breasts from the 60s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, if you really long for the ones with ripples, here we go! Yeah, that's almost what that is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you gonna do man? There's nothing, you know, there's nothing you can do to stop certain terrible ideas from propagating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, if you really want to get morose, I mean it is what it is for all of us anyway, we're all gonna go, unless some, something changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, even if we get it past the sun. If we figure out a way past the sun...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. Or transcendence. From whatever we are now into something that doesn't worry about death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then someone's gonna bottle it and put a fragrance to it. Sell it to French people in another dimension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you a proponent of the multi-universes theory? Do you believe that there are many, many universes, and that even if this one fades out, that there's other ones that are starting fresh right now, and there's an infinite number of them, and they're just constantly in this never-ending cycle of birth and death?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These simulations you believe are created, like someone has manufactured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is if this right now is a simulation. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately, inevitably, as long as we don't die or get hit by a meteor, we're going to create some sort of simulation if we continue on the same technological path we're on right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we might not be there yet. So it might not be a simulation here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it most likely is you feel other places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it your perceptions or is it, you know, a scale that we have under your butt? You're right here, I've measured you, you're the same weight as you were when you left. Meanwhile, your experience is radically different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll spark up a joint if you keep talking. Your manager's gonna come in here, we might have to lock the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, listen man, I think about this all the time. Yeaah, I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's unquestionable that one day that'll be the case. As long as we keep going. As long as nothing interrupts us, and if we start from scratch,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, we're single-celled organisms all over again, and then millions and millions of years later, we become the next thing that is us, with creativity and the ability to change its environment. It's gonna keep monkeying with things until it figures out a way to change reality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To change, I mean, almost like punch a hole through what is this thing into what, what it wants it to be and create new things. And then those new things will intersect with other people's new things. And then it will be this ultimate pathway of infinite ideas and expression all through technology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I think there's a movement to that, I mean in terms of like a social movement, I think some of it's misguided and some of it's exaggerated and there's a lot of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people that are fighting for their side out there, but it seems like the general trend of like, uh, social awareness seems to be much more heightened now than it's ever been in any other time in history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of our ability to express ourselves instantaneously to each other. Through Facebook or Twitter or what have you. And that the trend is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, uh, abandon preconceived notions, abandon prejudice, abandon discrimination, and promote kindness and happiness as much as possible. Look at this knife. Somebody gave it to me. Sorry. Yeah, what is this? What the fuck did you do? Ah, my friend Donnie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I brought this with him and it just stayed here. I have a real samurai sword, if you want to play with that. I know you're into weapons. That's from the 1500s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Samurai at the end of the table. Yeah, that's cool. I'll grab it. Hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a legit samurai sword from an actual samurai from the 1500s. If you pull out that blade, that blade was made the old way. Where a master craftsman folded that metal and hammered it down over and over again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over a long period of time and honed that blade into what it is now. What's crazy is that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More than 500 years later, that thing is still pristine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, whoever took care of that and passed it down to the next person who took care of it and, you know, until it got to the podcast room, it's pretty fucking crazy. One day someone's gonna be looking at a Tesla like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These fuckin' back doors, they pop up sideways. Like a Lamborghini.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of like driving super fast and irresponsibly on public roads, is that what you're saying? A whiny car can do that. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would you program that into a car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I get about you. That's what's weird. Like, when you showed up here, you were all smiles, and you pull out a fucking blowtorch and not a blowtorch. But I'm like, look at this dude. Not a flamethrower. Not a flamethrower. Like, he's having fun. It's definitely not a flamethrower. But you're, you're having fun. Like, this is, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, this thing, when you know, you program a car to do a ballet dance, you're having fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there a concern about someone just losing their mind and making them do that in the highway?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you want to do a video of that or do you like the fact that some people don't know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's not like you don't sell enough of them. You sell almost too many of them. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like big screen, laptop, ridiculous speed, handling, all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's, there's something about those cars too. They're not as capable, not nearly as capable as like a Tesla, but there's something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really satisfying about the mechanical aspect of like feeling the steering and the grinding of the gears and the shifting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's something about those that's extremely satisfying, even though they're not that competent. Like I have a, uh, 1993 Porsche 964. It's like a lightweight, it's not, it's in the RS America, it's not very fast. It's not like in comparison to a Tesla or anything like that. But the thing about it is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You like that, but you also like electronics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like your Tesla's soup, it's like the far end of electronics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, honks? This should be like, wake up, fuckface. You're endangering


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, like Siri. Check what you want. Yea, I choose the Australian girl for Siri. Yea. I like her voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want those Australian prison lady jeans. Now when you, uhm, when you program something like that in, is this in response to a concern or is it your own? Yeah. Do you look at it and go, hey, uhm, they shouldn't just be able to fall asleep. Let's wake them up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when you first released it, you didn't consider it, right? You're just like, well, no one's gonna just sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how did you implement it? Like did you just use cameras programmed with the system so that if it sees images it slows down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how much time do you give? Is the person who's in control of it allowed to program how fast it goes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't, it's hard to be Sat Nam. It's hard to be Namaste. All out here in L.A. If you want to hit that Santa Monica Boulevard offering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta be a little pushy. Yea, especially when people are angry. They're a little angry. They don't want you in. They speed up. Sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jesus Christ, I don't want to be on 99. I don't want to be on the 99th, negative 99 floors. Whoo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was that movie? With, uh, what's his face? Bradley Coo- not Bradley Cooper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christian Bale, where he, they fought dragons, him and Matthew McConaughey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would like to think that because you're a super genius. But I, as a normal, normal person, I know there's people way dumber than me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they really, really believe. They watch YouTube videos which go on uninterrupted and spew out a bunch of fucking fake facts very eloquently and articulately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they really believe. These people really believe. I mean, if it works for them. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's ludicrous mode in your car, goes 1.9 seconds, 0-60. 2.2. 2.2? Which one's 1.9? The Roaster?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have to have air tanks? Yes. Or are they sucking the air out of it? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how fast are we talking? Zero to sixty? How fast do you wanna go? I wanna go instantaneously. I wanna go back in time. Make it fly. You make it fly. Sure.

[Assistant] Do you anticipate that as being- I mean, you were talking about the tunnels and then flying cars. Do you really think that's gonna be real?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there a way around that? Like what if they figure out some sort of magnetic technology? Like all those Bob Lazar type characters were thinking it was a part of the UFO technology they were doing at Area 51. Remember, didn't they have some thoughts about magnetics?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no way to create some sort of a magnetic something or another that allows you to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just suck cars up into your car. Just pick up axles and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if there was some sort of magnet road, like you have two magnets and they repel each other, if you had some sort of a magnet road that was below you and you could travel on that magnet road, that would work.

[Assistant] So you've put some time and consideration into this other than, uh, you know, instead of like, my...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Foolishly rendered thoughts. So you think that tunnels are the way to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your, these tunnels that you're building right now, these are basically just like test versions of this ultimate idea that you have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. We played videos of it, where your idea is that you're gonna drop that hole in the ground, there's a sled on it, and the sled goes very fast, like 100 miles an hour plus.

[Assistant] Magnetic levitation in a vacuum tunnel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, I see what you're saying. Cause then you're gonna have to pump it out. Right, you'll have to pump it out, and you'll probably have a limited amount of air in the first place, like how much can you breathe? Do you have to pump oxygen into these cubicles? Nah, you don't have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like an airplane. Cause you have an airplane, it's not getting new air in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes sense though. No, I'm sure it does. Now when you think about this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New idea of, of, of designing, I mean, when, when you have this idea about improving planes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I don't know how you do what you do now, but if you keep coming up with these, but it's gotta be hard to pawn these off on someone else either. Hey, go do a job, a good job with this vertical takeoff and landing system that I want to implement to regular planes.
