experienceHis dementiaSoDidn't we already do this?So we can sayYes, it has happened beforeBut this addsA new data point to the timelineWe just found out about this nowOkayWe'll get to thatThenIt turns out thatWell, the foreign ministry hasAnnounced that Iceland is not interested inAbundaning the international criminal courtIt's like it cameAs a shockerTo meMassive shockerThe USAnd some EU countriesApparently are threatening sanctionsAgainst IcelandThat were wailingAwesomeTalking about wailingA boatSank inHafnafjörðurHarporFor the third timeWe can talk about that a bitOh, was it a wailing boat?NoIt was just a boatIt could be a wailing boatOld boatThat was just wishful thinkingAnd thenWe're going to talk aboutThe Icelandic policeIssuingAI slop stickersForKids in schoolsNo, it's likeThePolisPolisYesWe can talk about thatSo that'sThat's five storiesWe're going toThe RosersWe're going to share with you this weekYeahI'm really excitedAbout thisEpisodeI can tellYou have the energyYou smell excitedYou have the energy ofYou radiate excitementLike aA golden godYeah, you have theEnergy ofI don't knowI want toI want to sayA dogA puppyYou have theYou have the energy ofAA golden retrieverA puppyYeahOr even likeWhat are thoseOther breeds calledThat run a lotNo, thoseThat we use forHerding sheepFarmersYeah, that type we use herePorter collieYou're like a porter colliePorter collie onAnd ferraminsThat's what you'reThat's the energy you're working withThat's meSoWhere do you guys want to start?Should weShould we start withTheThe AI slopstickers?Let us beginYeahSoSo what happensWe're supposed to trust the policeYeah, we're supposed to trust the policeSo every nowEveryBut this isThis is a weird distinction thoughI think there's a lot of peopleYou knowPumping outAI generated imageryWhoDon't seeAny reason why theyYou knowThis is badThey justThey don'tSee this as like any signThat theyThey can't be trustedIt's likeOkayMaybeYeah, I meanSo everyEvery yearThe police kind of doesYou knowCommunity outreachThey go to the schoolsThey talk to the kidsRight?They do it onceA yearOnce a yearThey do thatAndThe rest of the yearThey'reReaching for something elseIn the communityYeahOne good willThey'reReaching forDrugsWhateverWhateverWhatever elseTheThe good willThat drugs generateFor the communityTheyThey try to replace thatBecause they'reConstantly taking it awayThey're taking the drugsAway from usAnd then theyThey give it backWith their AISlop stickersYeahYeah, I meanAdmittedlyIt's nice of themTo remind usWho we should hateYeah, justAdmittedlySome ofQuote unquoteUsShouldn't really beTaking drugsBut that's another storyButSoThis was in the newsThis weekendBecauseWellWell-knownIcelandicDrugsTVPersonnelAnd writersOf musicAnd lyricsFor popBandsAnd other bandsOver the past few yearsBut I haveValdemar SkúlassonOwner of an ad agencyOwner of an ad agencyAnd this kind ofRelates to thatIt's one of his jobsHe posted an imageOf a stickerThat came from the policeAndIt'sIt's supposed to be cuteLike a couple of police officersAnd like aA bearLike in a police outfitThey shoot bearsThis is likeNo, that's the land policeYeahNo, that's the coast guardUsuallyOh, okayYeah, yeahKeep ourKeep ourYeah, noKeep myKeep my hatredAccurately directedYeah, alsoThey're not copsThey're the coast guardAlso, it'sThe police bearIs notIt's not the polar bearSoNo Icelandic authorityHas ever shotAnything but the polar bearI thinkWhen it comes to bearsSplit hairs hereYou knowWhen it comes to bearsYeahBut a bear is a bearLike, you knowWe wouldn't differentiateIf it was a personYou knowA bearA bear is a bearIs a bearYeahHave you heard ofThey can mateGrizzly bearsAnd polar bearsThey can mateYeahHave you heardIt's realIt's called a growler bearA growler bearYeah, I'm not making this shit upThis is likeHow dangerous are those?They're actuallyConsidered quite dangerousBecause I forgetWhich is whichBut likeA grizzly bearAnd a polar bearOne of themIs quite bigBut usually quite docileWhereas the other oneIs smallerBut quite ferociousAnd growler bearsCan happenCan beBad-temperedLike one of themButAnd bigLike the other oneBut how is theirLikeColourAre they likeGrey?I've seen pictures of themThey just look likeThey look more like a grizzlyFor sureLikeThey don'tThey're not whiteButOkaySoBeigeSoYou knowWe can still use coloursTo describe bearsBut you can't use themTo describe people anymoreI mean likeI see whyBut you knowIsn't this bear racism?NoIt's likeBearI thinkGenerallyI meanIf the coastIf the coast guardShotAdmittedlyIKEA does sellSort ofStuffedPolar bearsFor kidsSo it's notUnthinkableAs an ideaTo have aPolar bearAs aPolice bearBut it should be likeIt would be more appropriateIf it was like a polar bearFor the coast guardSince they are in the businessOf shooting themRight?YeahThey'd know a polar bearWhen they shot oneI'm sorryI mean saw oneSoSo anywayWhatWhatThe stickerLikeBrea ValdemarPosted an imageOf the stickerIt's obviouslyAI generatedBut there's likeA QAWhich is thatThe name of theIcelandic policeLöræklandIs misspeltInstead ofLike a doubleUmlaut thingOr whateverYou call itIt's a single oneSo it'sLöræklandInstead ofLöræklandYeahI mean this veryAccuratelyDescribes theIcelandic policeLike this is likeA great emblemFor themThis is just likeAn organizationFor whom the detailsAre not importantAnd the resultsYou knowLike a big pictureAgencyYeahAnd resultsAre more importantThan actually doingThe workLikeYeah I guessIt's alsoYou knowIt speaks to theIdea thatYou knowThat commaCan't be importantYeahI meanHow does thisGet pastPeopleHow does thisGet printedWith nobodyNoticing itLike howWell I thinkBrea ValdemarWas sayingLike if youDon't hireGraphic designersOr peopleWho writeCopy for youOr peopleTo proveHow aboutHiring peopleWho knowHow to justReadLike this isn'tEven a proofreadingThingThis is likeOr in this caseYou maybeCould have hiredSomebody whoCould haveActually promptedThe AICorrectlyYeahIt's likeThey must beUsing likeA freeVersion ofJet GPTOr somethingPossiblyWe have toLook into thatThe only wayThey can possiblyDefend thisIs by sayingIt's just likeOh you knowWe've been hiringMore blind peopleAs aYou knowAs proofreadersYeahBecause you knowWe shouldn'tDiscriminateAgainst the blindLike that's the onlyWay I seeThe policeRecoveringI meanThere is alsoWe're alsoFailing likeYou knowIf we'reIn likeIf we keepThis courseIn making funOf the policeI assumeIn line with thatWe are making funOf the policeI can't waitTo see the AISlop of youAnd meYou knowMaking outOr somethingYeah we canWe can make that upI can show youAnd what I wasGoing to sayIs thatMaybe they wereUsing grokNot chat EDBYeah they might beSo let'sAfter the showLet's promptGrokTo makeA pictureOf the two of you guysMaking outOr somethingOr holding handsAnd walking downLowerOr rounding upSheepThat's actually betterThe two of youHolding handsRounding up sheepI meanI don'tReally have a problemWith someoneTrying toLikeUse AIFor somethingBut myMy real problemIs theThe lack ofAbility toLike look atSomething and sayWell this isn'tGood enoughYeahThis isObviously slopLike this isObviously garbageYeah yeahWe shouldn'tContinue on this pathYeahWe shouldMaybeI mean I amI amHardcore againstAll AI generatedImageryFromStart to finishI have aI find itReprehensibleI have a friendWho'sWho made the observationAnd has made itFrequently ever sinceAnd aboutYou knowDecisions like thisBeing takenHe was likeYou knowIf there would justBe this one personIn the roomAnd every timeGoing likeAre you sureThis is a good ideaYeahIt would very often helpTheyYeahEven if they justLike put inInto the AI systemsYeahDo they get proofNo noJust likeAsk meEvery timeYeahAre you sure about thisAre you sureThis is a good ideaDo I have to answer itYeah that would be a thingYeahWell enoughAbout fakeAISlop stickersWith bears on themButYou can'tI mean I don't thinkWe can findA cornerSharp enoughFor the Icelandic policeTo not figure outA way to cutLikeThere is noThere is noProtecting themFrom their ownFoolishnessOkay soTalking aboutFoolish thingsIt was reportedThisI think it wasThis weekendYeahThat a boatNamedJökullOr glacierWe name our boats hereLike people doElsewhereWe also name our sheepBut that'sYeahEvery time I leave the countryI see so many boatsCalled glacierThat boatReallyNoMade it into the newsBecause it sankOn Saturday nightWhich is often enoughFor you to make itInto the Icelandic newsAs a boatButThis was the third timeThis glacierSankSince 2020In the same harbourBy the same pierIn HafnafjörðurBut it'sSo many metaphorsFor IcelandCaptured in oneThingYeah but the thingI like the most about thisIs the fact thatThe boat is namedGlacierBecauseIt should beIt should be calledIcebergShouldn't it?More appropriate for a boatTo be called icebergGlaciers don't float muchYeah if youYeahBut they meltAnd they sinkI mean they thoughtYou knowIt's not as dumbAs namingAs naming an airplaneAfter a volcanoIn my opinionIt's just likeYou generallyGenerally don't wantTo name airplanesAfter shit that explodesWell we've doneA bit of thatThere is a hacklandYeah they're allThey're all namedAfter fucking volcanoesEvery single one of themThere's a vatnajögurYeah I meanIt's a great ideaUntil you start thinkingAbout it rightKind of likeThe AI stickersWe have all theseGorgeous namesFrom Norse mythologyWhich we name our childrenHow come they're notGood enough for our airplanesThey areWe're justWe're just not using themYeahYeahBut does anyOther like airlineNameEach other planesByI think soI think it's aTraditionI've never been onLike aAir floatPlaneNamedVladislavVladislavGorbachevVladimirYeahUmYeah I meanI don't knowI don't knowWhat I think aboutNo would you get onA plane called StalinI actuallyHell yeahI think I'veTold this story beforeII wonder what drinksThey serve on that manI was spent likeYou're not walkingSober off of StalinI'll tell you thatYou're not walkingOff of StalinNo yesYou have to beCarried offNo but II once spentLike extra200.000Icelandic kronorNot to fly withAir floatFrom StockholmToMoscowOnly toRealizeIt was

they have seatsI'm kiddingI wasIt shook a lotLikeIt's likeDomestic insideOf RussiaYeahLater to discoverThat the airlineI wasLikeFlying withAren't allowedTo land their planesIn EuropeThat's aReassuring thoughtYeahYeahIt's like I wasTheir sheerRussian-nessCould polluteAnyone standingToo closeI meanIt's just likeIt didWonders for myLikeFlurhæslaYourYeahYourFear ofFlyingNo I meanI don't knowI wouldn't call itFear of flyingI think I justCall itSensibleSkepticismI do rememberThat in the60sOr the 50sThe IcelandAirplanesWereThey hadLoftThey wereCalledLikeSkinFaxiAndYou knowKind ofNamesForHorsesYeahI
