00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,899
Lead story from Monday, July 24.

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:06,799
Fifty years ago, Bill Gates and Paul Allen's

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:08,099
agreement with MITS

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,000
or a basic interpreter for the Altair 8,800

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:12,500
microcomputer

6
00:00:13,455 --> 00:00:14,275
launched Microsoft's

7
00:00:14,654 --> 00:00:16,114
influence personal computing

8
00:00:16,894 --> 00:00:17,394
profoundly.

9
00:00:18,414 --> 00:00:21,234
This collaboration transformed technology paving

10
00:00:21,614 --> 00:00:22,435
paving the way

11
00:00:22,894 --> 00:00:23,714
for PCs,

12
00:00:24,335 --> 00:00:24,835
Microsoft's

13
00:00:25,214 --> 00:00:28,109
global dominance, and the eventual rise of Linux

14
00:00:28,269 --> 00:00:29,489
and modern computing

15
00:00:29,949 --> 00:00:30,449
ecosystems.

16
00:00:31,070 --> 00:00:34,909
I wanna welcome you to episode 1,835.

17
00:00:34,909 --> 00:00:37,870
I'm your host, Todd Cochran. Yes. Fifty years

18
00:00:37,870 --> 00:00:38,850
ago this week,

19
00:00:39,710 --> 00:00:40,850
they made this deal.

20
00:00:41,615 --> 00:00:43,534
And, of course, they made this deal with

21
00:00:43,534 --> 00:00:44,034
MITS,

22
00:00:45,215 --> 00:00:48,335
and the deal with the as yet unnamed

23
00:00:48,335 --> 00:00:50,655
partnership between Gates and Allen was to provide

24
00:00:50,655 --> 00:00:51,715
a basic interpreter

25
00:00:52,655 --> 00:00:53,314
for MITS

26
00:00:55,030 --> 00:00:57,130
Altair 8800.

27
00:00:58,149 --> 00:00:58,969
There are many

28
00:00:59,429 --> 00:01:01,929
contenders for the first my computer or first

29
00:01:02,070 --> 00:01:03,289
and personal computer

30
00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:06,090
in which any one of those

31
00:01:08,384 --> 00:01:09,844
each of us old guys

32
00:01:10,224 --> 00:01:12,465
favor depends on how they find some of

33
00:01:12,465 --> 00:01:13,204
the terms.

34
00:01:15,024 --> 00:01:17,584
But the MIT South Terre ticked a lot

35
00:01:17,584 --> 00:01:18,164
of boxes.

36
00:01:19,185 --> 00:01:21,239
Mitts, I think is how they pronounce it,

37
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:22,680
and set the pattern for a lot of

38
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,259
the future

39
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,019
in the computer industry.

40
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,780
And again, it used a eighty eighty microprocessor,

41
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,560
not a bunch of discrete parts. It was

42
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:32,060
modular.

43
00:01:33,704 --> 00:01:36,024
Again, it was built from cards that slot

44
00:01:36,024 --> 00:01:37,405
into a bus to form

45
00:01:38,265 --> 00:01:39,884
of which was later standardized

46
00:01:40,265 --> 00:01:41,884
as the s 100 bus.

47
00:01:42,344 --> 00:01:45,064
But rather than an expensive workstation like an

48
00:01:45,064 --> 00:01:46,765
IBM 5,100

49
00:01:47,409 --> 00:01:49,810
aimed at scientists and so sought after the

50
00:01:49,810 --> 00:01:50,310
people

51
00:01:51,090 --> 00:01:52,930
that will travel back in time to find

52
00:01:52,930 --> 00:01:56,049
one, the Altair was aimed at hobbyists knitting

53
00:01:56,049 --> 00:01:56,450
one of the

54
00:01:57,810 --> 00:02:00,709
knitting out one enough well enough to run

55
00:02:01,155 --> 00:02:03,875
a CPM would have cost $4,000

56
00:02:03,875 --> 00:02:05,875
or more. And with a one kilobit of

57
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:06,375
RAM,

58
00:02:07,075 --> 00:02:09,395
you could toggle the eighty eighty instructions into

59
00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:10,694
the 8,800

60
00:02:10,754 --> 00:02:12,915
using the front panel switches. But if you

61
00:02:12,915 --> 00:02:13,735
spend another

62
00:02:14,189 --> 00:02:16,110
$264

63
00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:18,289
for four kilobits of memory,

64
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:20,590
it could do something much more interesting. It

65
00:02:20,590 --> 00:02:21,650
could run basic.

66
00:02:22,189 --> 00:02:23,889
Again, the famous Microsoft

67
00:02:24,509 --> 00:02:25,330
four k

68
00:02:25,709 --> 00:02:26,209
basic.

69
00:02:27,004 --> 00:02:29,645
Microsoft's first product which the register was reporting

70
00:02:29,645 --> 00:02:31,965
on half that time ago, again, it was

71
00:02:31,965 --> 00:02:33,885
co written by Bill Gates and the late

72
00:02:33,885 --> 00:02:34,625
Paul Allen

73
00:02:35,405 --> 00:02:37,745
and Monte Davidoff who gave,

74
00:02:38,844 --> 00:02:40,465
an interview to the register

75
00:02:41,780 --> 00:02:43,460
some time ago that you can go back

76
00:02:43,460 --> 00:02:44,920
and and listen to.

77
00:02:45,460 --> 00:02:45,960
But,

78
00:02:46,819 --> 00:02:49,139
you know, you look at Bill Gates in,

79
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:51,319
in 1975,

80
00:02:51,780 --> 00:02:53,620
and he definitely, you know, he's just a

81
00:02:53,620 --> 00:02:54,120
teenager.

82
00:02:55,935 --> 00:02:58,435
A very, very, very smart teenager,

83
00:02:59,855 --> 00:03:02,895
which if you compare the picture compared to

84
00:03:02,895 --> 00:03:03,795
Bill Allen,

85
00:03:04,175 --> 00:03:06,335
you know, Bill Allen at that time looked

86
00:03:06,335 --> 00:03:07,155
quite his

87
00:03:07,950 --> 00:03:09,010
quite his senior.

88
00:03:09,950 --> 00:03:12,370
So, you know, I think my first

89
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:13,250
experience

90
00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:14,930
with a,

91
00:03:17,870 --> 00:03:20,050
what would really could be considered a basic

92
00:03:20,110 --> 00:03:21,010
computer was

93
00:03:21,474 --> 00:03:23,735
the trash 80, the t r s 80

94
00:03:23,955 --> 00:03:24,455
in

95
00:03:25,474 --> 00:03:25,974
probably

96
00:03:30,275 --> 00:03:30,775
probably

97
00:03:31,235 --> 00:03:31,735
'80,

98
00:03:35,250 --> 00:03:36,870
7980.

99
00:03:37,490 --> 00:03:38,770
I made my first ex

100
00:03:39,409 --> 00:03:39,909
first,

101
00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:41,110
exposure

102
00:03:41,409 --> 00:03:41,969
to a,

103
00:03:43,490 --> 00:03:45,569
to an Apple machine at the time may

104
00:03:45,569 --> 00:03:46,229
have been

105
00:03:47,044 --> 00:03:47,844
'82,

106
00:03:47,844 --> 00:03:49,224
somewhere around there.

107
00:03:53,525 --> 00:03:55,465
Boy, they were they were amazing.

108
00:03:55,844 --> 00:03:57,525
And I think even when I was in

109
00:03:57,685 --> 00:03:59,705
my TRS 80 that I had,

110
00:04:00,569 --> 00:04:02,430
you save the code to a tape

111
00:04:03,370 --> 00:04:04,590
and it works sometimes.

112
00:04:07,209 --> 00:04:09,449
It didn't always work saving the code. So

113
00:04:09,449 --> 00:04:10,750
when you loaded code,

114
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:12,189
which was basic,

115
00:04:13,965 --> 00:04:15,424
you really had to,

116
00:04:16,125 --> 00:04:17,185
to to make sure

117
00:04:17,725 --> 00:04:20,604
that, everything transced over and and nothing was

118
00:04:20,604 --> 00:04:21,584
garbled. But

119
00:04:22,204 --> 00:04:24,365
fifty years ago and boy oh boy how

120
00:04:24,365 --> 00:04:24,865
far

121
00:04:25,790 --> 00:04:26,770
we have come.

122
00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:29,710
And I think one of the first things

123
00:04:29,710 --> 00:04:30,210
I

124
00:04:30,990 --> 00:04:32,129
wrote on

125
00:04:33,550 --> 00:04:35,790
or didn't write, I didn't really probably didn't

126
00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:36,610
write anything.

127
00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:38,050
I definitely

128
00:04:40,805 --> 00:04:43,044
you loaded some of the, you know, some

129
00:04:43,044 --> 00:04:45,384
of the programs that were available.

130
00:04:45,845 --> 00:04:46,985
I think it was Hangman.

131
00:04:47,764 --> 00:04:49,064
Hangman was the

132
00:04:50,564 --> 00:04:51,764
the game that,

133
00:04:52,245 --> 00:04:54,324
that I loaded was one of the first

134
00:04:54,324 --> 00:04:54,824
ones.

135
00:04:55,180 --> 00:04:56,240
Might even been

136
00:04:57,180 --> 00:04:59,199
long. I can't remember. Maybe

137
00:04:59,579 --> 00:05:01,419
there wasn't enough memory for it. I don't

138
00:05:01,419 --> 00:05:02,240
know. But,

139
00:05:03,659 --> 00:05:05,599
a lot of fun in in those very,

140
00:05:05,979 --> 00:05:08,159
very, very early days. But,

141
00:05:09,004 --> 00:05:11,104
yeah, we passed the fifty fifty

142
00:05:11,485 --> 00:05:12,704
fifty year mark,

143
00:05:13,644 --> 00:05:14,704
today and,

144
00:05:15,164 --> 00:05:17,185
not today. Couple days ago, this week.

145
00:05:17,564 --> 00:05:17,884
So,

146
00:05:18,365 --> 00:05:19,824
hard to believe how far,

147
00:05:20,524 --> 00:05:22,300
we have come. Hey. I wanna welcome you

188
00:07:00,064 --> 00:07:02,064
Interested in WordPress, which, of course, is the

189
00:07:02,064 --> 00:07:04,644
one, I've been using for many, many years.

190
00:07:04,865 --> 00:07:07,925
WordPress managed hosting is just $12.99 a month,

191
00:07:08,704 --> 00:07:12,245
which includes a free domain name, again, professional

192
00:07:12,384 --> 00:07:13,524
email, and,

193
00:07:13,889 --> 00:07:16,470
again that all important SSL certificate.

194
00:07:16,850 --> 00:07:18,290
If you need a domain name, you can

195
00:07:18,290 --> 00:07:19,649
get one for $11.99.

196
00:07:19,649 --> 00:07:21,189
But if you're looking

197
00:07:21,569 --> 00:07:24,389
to get started and you're not technically inclined

198
00:07:24,449 --> 00:07:27,430
at all and get that GoDaddy website builder,

199
00:07:27,584 --> 00:07:29,264
You get a free thirty day trial of

200
00:07:29,264 --> 00:07:31,425
personal business and business plus plans. Of course,

201
00:07:31,425 --> 00:07:33,285
I use all of the GoDaddy

202
00:07:33,824 --> 00:07:35,985
products and service and your support keeps this

203
00:07:35,985 --> 00:07:37,204
podcast alive.

204
00:07:37,584 --> 00:07:39,745
Use our codes. Click and save. You're backing

205
00:07:39,745 --> 00:07:41,444
an independent team of creators.

206
00:07:41,949 --> 00:07:44,110
Share my codes or website with friends and

207
00:07:44,110 --> 00:07:46,990
family because every time one of my codes

208
00:07:46,990 --> 00:07:49,870
is used, it supports Geekness Central thinking for

209
00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:51,170
keeping us line and

210
00:07:51,790 --> 00:07:53,089
going strong.

211
00:07:53,470 --> 00:07:55,790
One thing I have run into and there's

212
00:07:55,790 --> 00:07:57,764
nothing I can do about it

213
00:07:58,725 --> 00:07:59,225
is

214
00:07:59,525 --> 00:08:00,824
my Umbrel

215
00:08:01,764 --> 00:08:02,264
which,

216
00:08:02,725 --> 00:08:05,785
has a one terabyte SSD attached to it

217
00:08:06,884 --> 00:08:08,884
has a very very very very very very

218
00:08:08,884 --> 00:08:10,185
full hard drive

219
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:12,500
and the Bitcoin

220
00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:15,120
node has grown so big I need to

221
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,300
upgrade hard drives when I get home, but

222
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:20,740
I've attempted to do something called pruning

223
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,279
which scares the living crap out of me

224
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:25,199
to get some hard drive space back in

225
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:25,939
the interim.

226
00:08:26,935 --> 00:08:29,334
So if you're boosting the show, be advised

227
00:08:29,334 --> 00:08:32,074
might be a little bit of challenge.

228
00:08:33,495 --> 00:08:34,554
But definitely,

229
00:08:36,455 --> 00:08:38,875
got to get that hard drive space increased.

230
00:08:40,259 --> 00:08:43,299
And I have a four terabyte SSD waiting

231
00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:43,779
for me,

232
00:08:44,580 --> 00:08:47,700
when I, when I arrived back back in

233
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:48,360
The States.

234
00:08:48,740 --> 00:08:50,360
It just climbed unexpectedly.

235
00:08:51,855 --> 00:08:54,254
It was it surprised the crap out of

236
00:08:54,254 --> 00:08:56,174
me. We were doing good on storage and

237
00:08:56,174 --> 00:08:56,995
all of a sudden,

238
00:08:57,615 --> 00:08:58,115
boom.

239
00:08:58,654 --> 00:09:00,274
It, it jumped.

240
00:09:00,975 --> 00:09:01,475
And,

241
00:09:02,574 --> 00:09:04,195
yeah. I'm not necessarily

242
00:09:06,410 --> 00:09:10,269
not necessarily good in any way whatsoever.

243
00:09:12,090 --> 00:09:15,450
So the Bitcoin node keeps failing because of

244
00:09:15,450 --> 00:09:15,950
the

245
00:09:16,730 --> 00:09:17,870
the lack of

246
00:09:18,665 --> 00:09:20,684
of hard drive space. So,

247
00:09:22,184 --> 00:09:22,684
yeah,

248
00:09:23,384 --> 00:09:25,565
it kind of sucks and there's really nothing

249
00:09:26,264 --> 00:09:27,804
I can do about it except

250
00:09:28,105 --> 00:09:29,804
hope that the pruning action

251
00:09:32,179 --> 00:09:33,220
is going to,

252
00:09:34,179 --> 00:09:35,399
is gonna help things,

253
00:09:36,339 --> 00:09:37,639
to get started here.

254
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:40,200
So what am I trying to do?

255
00:09:41,460 --> 00:09:41,960
Alright.

256
00:09:43,620 --> 00:09:45,799
Yes. I want you to restart

257
00:09:46,654 --> 00:09:48,595
because, yeah, the Bitcoin node

258
00:09:50,335 --> 00:09:53,855
failed again. So hopefully, the reboot and the

259
00:09:53,855 --> 00:09:54,835
pruning mechanism

260
00:09:55,215 --> 00:09:56,514
will will help.

261
00:09:57,375 --> 00:09:59,215
Alright. Let's go ahead and get into our

262
00:09:59,215 --> 00:09:59,715
stack.

263
00:10:02,009 --> 00:10:05,470
OpenAI could drop GPT five in August, report

264
00:10:05,529 --> 00:10:06,029
says.

265
00:10:06,649 --> 00:10:07,129
And,

266
00:10:07,850 --> 00:10:10,009
the folks at Mashable and this is just

267
00:10:10,009 --> 00:10:11,690
a note for Kirk if you're listening. The

268
00:10:11,690 --> 00:10:13,230
Verge is almost become

269
00:10:14,204 --> 00:10:16,784
impossible to cover because they're always

270
00:10:17,164 --> 00:10:18,784
asking for money. So,

271
00:10:19,644 --> 00:10:22,544
maybe we should pick alternate articles for these,

272
00:10:23,565 --> 00:10:26,125
for the prep just because of The Verge

273
00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:26,625
being,

274
00:10:27,379 --> 00:10:29,299
you know, not letting you read stuff. So

275
00:10:29,299 --> 00:10:31,000
what there's plenty of other websites

276
00:10:31,379 --> 00:10:31,879
creating

277
00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:35,159
content. But again, OpenAI could open,

278
00:10:36,019 --> 00:10:38,500
drop g t five in in August that

279
00:10:38,659 --> 00:10:39,100
and,

280
00:10:39,539 --> 00:10:41,240
you know, that would kind of

281
00:10:41,995 --> 00:10:44,254
follow along maybe some previous history.

282
00:10:45,434 --> 00:10:47,914
Been some interesting comments being made by Sam

283
00:10:47,914 --> 00:10:50,095
Altman. I'll be covering some of that

284
00:10:50,634 --> 00:10:51,855
a little bit later

285
00:10:52,315 --> 00:10:53,534
in the show here.

286
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:54,654
But,

287
00:10:56,529 --> 00:10:59,649
you know, he he has basically said he's

288
00:10:59,649 --> 00:11:00,789
been doing some testing

289
00:11:01,809 --> 00:11:04,929
and he's got questions and he got emailed

290
00:11:04,929 --> 00:11:07,250
a question that he didn't quite understand, which

291
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:08,309
I would be surprised

292
00:11:08,769 --> 00:11:11,090
that Sam Altman wouldn't understand a question he

293
00:11:11,090 --> 00:11:11,750
was asked.

294
00:11:12,184 --> 00:11:15,144
And he used GPT five to to respond

295
00:11:15,144 --> 00:11:17,225
to the email. I'm just you know, at

296
00:11:17,225 --> 00:11:18,605
this point, I'm still

297
00:11:19,304 --> 00:11:21,964
not using chat GPT to respond,

298
00:11:23,144 --> 00:11:25,704
to emails. But there's some there's some stories

299
00:11:25,704 --> 00:11:27,245
out about people that are

300
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,220
becoming a little bit too reliant upon it

301
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:32,259
and

302
00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:35,200
we will we'll talk about that as as

303
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,820
the show progresses today.

304
00:11:39,615 --> 00:11:41,634
There's a proposed bill. Bipartisan

305
00:11:42,014 --> 00:11:45,534
pair of US senators have introduced a bill

306
00:11:45,534 --> 00:11:47,875
this week that would protect copyrighted content

307
00:11:48,575 --> 00:11:51,134
from being used by AI training without the

308
00:11:51,134 --> 00:11:53,715
owner's submission. Content creators from large media companies

309
00:11:53,774 --> 00:11:55,075
to individual bloggers

310
00:11:55,589 --> 00:11:56,329
could effectively

311
00:11:56,789 --> 00:12:00,069
block Google meta, open AI, and so forth

312
00:12:00,069 --> 00:12:00,569
from

313
00:12:01,029 --> 00:12:04,149
others appropriating their work. And you know, this

314
00:12:04,149 --> 00:12:05,990
is a damned if you do damned if

315
00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:07,129
you don't situation.

316
00:12:08,595 --> 00:12:11,075
If passed into law, this AI accountability and

317
00:12:11,075 --> 00:12:12,774
personal data protection act

318
00:12:13,394 --> 00:12:16,754
would add new federal tort allowing individuals to

319
00:12:16,754 --> 00:12:18,835
sue companies that use copyrighted works of personal

320
00:12:18,835 --> 00:12:20,695
and dental information and train AI

321
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,660
without the owner's express prior consent.

322
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,799
As a independent content creator and the way

323
00:12:27,799 --> 00:12:29,019
search is changing,

324
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,139
the only way I feel

325
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:36,220
that I am going to survive as a

326
00:12:36,754 --> 00:12:38,695
site that has 15,000

327
00:12:38,754 --> 00:12:39,254
plus

328
00:12:39,634 --> 00:12:40,615
written articles

329
00:12:41,794 --> 00:12:44,774
is that the content has to be indexed

330
00:12:44,914 --> 00:12:45,654
by ChatGPT

331
00:12:46,195 --> 00:12:49,254
so that my site is recommended in results

332
00:12:49,315 --> 00:12:50,615
or cited and

333
00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:54,480
but again we've already seen huge drop offs

334
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,139
in web traffic because people are using

335
00:12:57,519 --> 00:12:59,600
chat g p t and other services for

336
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,100
search

337
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,279
and Google is, you know, got to be

338
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:04,339
worried about this.

339
00:13:05,294 --> 00:13:08,095
But it it's very, very scary for a

340
00:13:08,095 --> 00:13:10,035
person who's trying to have a global,

341
00:13:11,294 --> 00:13:13,774
global reach if you don't have a breadth

342
00:13:13,774 --> 00:13:14,514
of data.

343
00:13:15,455 --> 00:13:15,855
This,

344
00:13:16,575 --> 00:13:18,654
this party can be over real quick for

345
00:13:18,654 --> 00:13:20,195
the for the natural web,

346
00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:22,250
And that's very, very scary,

347
00:13:24,309 --> 00:13:27,669
that you could be made irrelevant just by

348
00:13:27,669 --> 00:13:30,250
a large language model putting an output out,

349
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:34,889
an answer or a research to a question

350
00:13:35,674 --> 00:13:36,735
without getting,

351
00:13:37,115 --> 00:13:40,095
you know, an appropriate reference and

352
00:13:40,475 --> 00:13:41,934
and the traffic for

353
00:13:42,475 --> 00:13:44,475
that work. So again, it's a do if

354
00:13:44,475 --> 00:13:45,695
you you know,

355
00:13:47,034 --> 00:13:49,754
it's not a great situation. You you're gonna

356
00:13:49,754 --> 00:13:50,495
end up

357
00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:52,950
one way or the other.

358
00:13:54,129 --> 00:13:55,809
Again, do if you're damned and do if

359
00:13:55,809 --> 00:13:56,950
you don't. So,

360
00:13:58,210 --> 00:14:00,050
again, I haven't heard a lot from you

361
00:14:00,050 --> 00:14:02,850
folks on this particular topic and I would

362
00:14:02,930 --> 00:14:05,029
I'd love to hear back from you on

363
00:14:05,410 --> 00:14:06,470
what you think

364
00:14:07,184 --> 00:14:09,184
in this regard and, you know, don't be

365
00:14:09,184 --> 00:14:10,945
afraid to drop me an email here at

366
00:14:10,945 --> 00:14:13,205
geeknews@atgmail.com

367
00:14:13,504 --> 00:14:15,904
on your thoughts on this exact topic, especially

368
00:14:15,904 --> 00:14:17,125
if you work for business

369
00:14:17,504 --> 00:14:19,665
that, you know, relies on a lot of

370
00:14:19,665 --> 00:14:20,404
web traffic.

371
00:14:21,149 --> 00:14:23,629
Starlink satellite Internet is back online after a

372
00:14:23,629 --> 00:14:24,129
massive

373
00:14:24,669 --> 00:14:25,809
a massive outage.

374
00:14:27,230 --> 00:14:30,129
Starlink reported that they couldn't Starlink

375
00:14:30,589 --> 00:14:33,490
users reported that they couldn't connect to SpaceX

376
00:14:34,110 --> 00:14:35,889
for a few hours today

377
00:14:37,045 --> 00:14:38,504
and widespread Starlink

378
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:39,445
usage

379
00:14:40,004 --> 00:14:42,024
outages were reported. My

380
00:14:43,764 --> 00:14:44,904
my UI

381
00:14:45,764 --> 00:14:46,264
device

382
00:14:48,884 --> 00:14:51,529
that for Unifi was basically I could see

383
00:14:51,529 --> 00:14:53,870
the outages happening even at my own

384
00:14:54,570 --> 00:14:57,389
home. So a little less than an hour

385
00:14:57,929 --> 00:14:58,829
of an outage

386
00:14:59,129 --> 00:15:01,449
and, actually three hours, two and a half

387
00:15:01,449 --> 00:15:01,949
hours.

388
00:15:02,774 --> 00:15:03,274
And,

389
00:15:03,975 --> 00:15:05,735
so they had something go on in their

390
00:15:05,735 --> 00:15:06,634
major major

391
00:15:07,014 --> 00:15:08,634
major control center.

392
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:11,274
All ISPs have outages.

393
00:15:12,294 --> 00:15:13,894
You don't like to see them and it

394
00:15:13,894 --> 00:15:14,714
affects companies

395
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,879
and individuals right in the middle of the

396
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:18,019
business working day,

397
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:20,879
but this is what happens sometimes. So I

398
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:23,360
just wondered how many people fell back to

399
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,179
their iPhone,

400
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:25,779
connections.

401
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:29,519
On a pretty serious note, if you have

402
00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:30,259
a printer,

403
00:15:32,085 --> 00:15:33,705
there's over 700

404
00:15:33,764 --> 00:15:36,825
models are actively being attacked by hackers.

405
00:15:37,445 --> 00:15:39,225
Printers by Brother, Toshiba,

406
00:15:39,764 --> 00:15:40,264
Fujifilm,

407
00:15:40,644 --> 00:15:41,705
Konica Minolta,

408
00:15:42,404 --> 00:15:43,065
and Ricoh

409
00:15:44,059 --> 00:15:46,959
are super susceptible to attacks thanks to

410
00:15:47,419 --> 00:15:48,480
security flaws.

411
00:15:49,339 --> 00:15:49,839
So

412
00:15:51,019 --> 00:15:53,419
you need to be updating your printer on

413
00:15:53,419 --> 00:15:54,559
a regular basis.

414
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:58,080
And also if you've never changed the default

415
00:15:58,139 --> 00:15:58,639
password

416
00:15:59,735 --> 00:16:01,815
on your printer, you need to change that

417
00:16:01,815 --> 00:16:02,875
default password.

418
00:16:03,815 --> 00:16:06,855
It's probably admin admin or admin password. You

419
00:16:06,855 --> 00:16:07,674
need to change

420
00:16:08,134 --> 00:16:09,995
that password to something else.

421
00:16:10,774 --> 00:16:11,274
And,

422
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,059
you know, I have a password

423
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:16,220
that I use for devices

424
00:16:17,799 --> 00:16:19,339
in my home that's

425
00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:20,860
very complicated.

426
00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:24,539
Very random sudo

427
00:16:25,485 --> 00:16:27,644
just because I don't want my routers, I

428
00:16:27,644 --> 00:16:30,144
don't want my printers, I don't want anything

429
00:16:30,205 --> 00:16:31,345
touched as a gateway

430
00:16:32,205 --> 00:16:33,184
to get into

431
00:16:34,524 --> 00:16:35,264
my network.

432
00:16:36,365 --> 00:16:39,105
It's same thing applies to my

433
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,100
my

434
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:44,019
network attached storage devices. I have again

435
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:45,459
very sophisticated

436
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:47,379
passwords being used

437
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:50,899
to access those devices not something simple.

438
00:16:51,839 --> 00:16:53,459
This is what we have

439
00:16:54,644 --> 00:16:55,144
password

440
00:16:55,605 --> 00:16:57,705
assistance for these days like 1Password.

441
00:16:59,445 --> 00:17:02,325
You know, use those. Do those random pseudo

442
00:17:02,325 --> 00:17:02,825
generated

443
00:17:03,524 --> 00:17:05,205
passwords and get and get them set. Now

444
00:17:05,205 --> 00:17:06,644
it might be a pain to type that

445
00:17:06,644 --> 00:17:08,585
into your printer. I understand.

446
00:17:10,190 --> 00:17:11,809
But maybe use abbreviated

447
00:17:12,750 --> 00:17:14,529
one, six, seven, eight characters

448
00:17:15,309 --> 00:17:16,049
at a minimum.

449
00:17:16,670 --> 00:17:18,670
But for goodness sakes, don't use one, two,

450
00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:19,410
34.

451
00:17:21,309 --> 00:17:23,309
Not not a not a smart move at

452
00:17:23,309 --> 00:17:24,049
this point.

453
00:17:24,634 --> 00:17:27,835
Alphabet sees results soar boosted once again by

454
00:17:27,835 --> 00:17:30,255
soaring AI and cloud demand.

455
00:17:30,794 --> 00:17:32,894
Google revenue is up 14%

456
00:17:33,034 --> 00:17:35,934
driven by 32% growth in Google Cloud revenue.

457
00:17:36,580 --> 00:17:39,619
The cloud division's annual revenue rate runs now

458
00:17:39,619 --> 00:17:41,240
at 50,000,000,000

459
00:17:41,619 --> 00:17:44,980
and the Gemini app has approximately 450

460
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:48,200
monthly active users as they've essentially moved everyone

461
00:17:48,775 --> 00:17:52,315
from Gmail and using Google Apps into getting

462
00:17:52,375 --> 00:17:53,035
a Gemini.

463
00:17:54,214 --> 00:17:54,535
But,

464
00:17:55,654 --> 00:17:57,115
Google revenue rose

465
00:17:57,654 --> 00:18:01,115
by 32% in the quarter to 13,600,000,000.0.

466
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,500
If you use Uber or Lyft,

467
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,919
Lyft is starting to do something unique with

468
00:18:07,919 --> 00:18:10,819
its app. It's made a major update.

469
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,299
They've given you the ability

470
00:18:13,679 --> 00:18:15,460
to give a much better

471
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,500
review,

472
00:18:17,575 --> 00:18:20,075
And you have the ability to favorite

473
00:18:20,775 --> 00:18:21,674
a driver

474
00:18:22,375 --> 00:18:24,715
and you have the ability to block,

475
00:18:25,654 --> 00:18:27,674
a driver. I have never,

476
00:18:28,855 --> 00:18:29,355
well,

477
00:18:30,615 --> 00:18:32,234
there was a driver in

478
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:35,799
Miami that I had that I

479
00:18:36,419 --> 00:18:37,940
I could have blocked, I would have blocked

480
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:38,839
that I reported.

481
00:18:40,099 --> 00:18:42,119
Because it just drove life as an absolute

482
00:18:42,179 --> 00:18:43,880
madman even though I

483
00:18:44,419 --> 00:18:46,759
asked the gentleman to slow down.

484
00:18:48,095 --> 00:18:49,795
But I like now how they

485
00:18:50,414 --> 00:18:52,494
automatically, at least in this image, show that

486
00:18:52,494 --> 00:18:54,174
you should do a 25%

487
00:18:54,174 --> 00:18:54,674
tip

488
00:18:55,375 --> 00:18:58,735
to your driver. And that's another whole topic

489
00:18:58,735 --> 00:18:59,394
in itself

490
00:18:59,970 --> 00:19:02,710
is the, is the tip economy

491
00:19:04,369 --> 00:19:04,869
that's,

492
00:19:05,490 --> 00:19:06,390
that's out there.

493
00:19:07,169 --> 00:19:08,630
Hey. We did get some boost,

494
00:19:09,089 --> 00:19:11,730
thousand sats from RW Nash. He said, Todd,

495
00:19:11,730 --> 00:19:13,349
hope you get your fiber wired.

496
00:19:14,454 --> 00:19:17,654
Appreciate that. Also, I had a streaming sats

497
00:19:17,654 --> 00:19:18,474
that came in,

498
00:19:19,014 --> 00:19:20,774
from folks as well. Thank you for that

499
00:19:20,774 --> 00:19:21,274
support.

500
00:19:21,575 --> 00:19:23,974
Of course, we had some, PayPal donations come

501
00:19:23,974 --> 00:19:26,875
in. Curtis Parish, $5. Daniel Lamux,

502

$10. James Fletcher,

00:19:42,835 --> 00:19:43,575
$2.

510
00:19:45,075 --> 00:19:47,394
Silas, we wanna thank you for your streaming

511
00:19:47,394 --> 00:19:50,375
stats. Darren Schwartz for your streaming stats. Greatly

512
00:19:50,434 --> 00:19:50,934
appreciated,

513
00:19:51,955 --> 00:19:52,855
for your ongoing

514
00:19:53,235 --> 00:19:54,535
support of the podcast

515
00:19:55,235 --> 00:19:55,975
for sure.

516
00:19:56,450 --> 00:19:56,950
And,

517
00:19:57,809 --> 00:19:59,029
of course, we have,

518
00:20:00,529 --> 00:20:02,849
the ability for you to to support the

519
00:20:02,849 --> 00:20:03,349
show.

520
00:20:03,730 --> 00:20:06,309
And you can do that very simply by,

521
00:20:07,970 --> 00:20:09,990
going to geeknesscentral.com

522
00:20:10,724 --> 00:20:11,224
forward

523
00:20:11,525 --> 00:20:12,025
slash,

524
00:20:12,724 --> 00:20:13,224
insider.

525
00:20:14,005 --> 00:20:16,585
And looks like the Umbrel has rebooted.

526
00:20:16,884 --> 00:20:18,265
Now the question is,

527
00:20:19,125 --> 00:20:19,765
will the,

528
00:20:20,805 --> 00:20:21,944
will the Bitcoin

529
00:20:22,244 --> 00:20:22,744
node

530
00:20:23,690 --> 00:20:24,910
smash the

531
00:20:25,849 --> 00:20:28,009
the the database a little bit so we,

532
00:20:28,250 --> 00:20:29,789
can save some space?

533
00:20:30,569 --> 00:20:31,069
Time

534
00:20:31,369 --> 00:20:32,269
will tell.

535
00:20:34,410 --> 00:20:35,869
1,000,000,000 of Nvidia

536
00:20:36,494 --> 00:20:39,535
AI chips reportedly sold in China despite The

537
00:20:39,535 --> 00:20:40,434
US ban.

538
00:20:41,775 --> 00:20:43,934
You know, this is not surprising to me

539
00:20:43,934 --> 00:20:44,515
at all.

540
00:20:45,055 --> 00:20:47,134
You know, they're gonna find a way to

541
00:20:47,134 --> 00:20:47,634
buy

542
00:20:48,255 --> 00:20:51,214
these chips because what they can't do on

543
00:20:51,214 --> 00:20:54,759
their own, they're going to steal, cheat, lie,

544
00:20:55,380 --> 00:20:58,119
rob. They don't care. They have no absolutely

545
00:20:59,059 --> 00:20:59,720
no ethics

546
00:21:00,420 --> 00:21:00,920
whatsoever.

547
00:21:01,619 --> 00:21:04,119
It should be expected at this point

548
00:21:04,575 --> 00:21:07,234
and the black market for these chips,

549
00:21:07,694 --> 00:21:08,674
are going to

550
00:21:08,974 --> 00:21:09,474
suspectedly

551
00:21:11,454 --> 00:21:12,274
other countries.

552
00:21:12,815 --> 00:21:14,654
And I'll be honest with you, if a

553
00:21:14,654 --> 00:21:15,875
country is

554
00:21:17,549 --> 00:21:18,529
or a group

555
00:21:19,230 --> 00:21:20,369
has been detected

556
00:21:20,750 --> 00:21:21,569
doing this,

557
00:21:22,910 --> 00:21:24,609
there should be heavy, heavy prosecution

558
00:21:25,549 --> 00:21:27,890
and heavy sanctions. We should not allow

559
00:21:28,605 --> 00:21:30,545
these chips to get into China.

560
00:21:31,005 --> 00:21:33,345
Even though Nvidia said, well, you know,

561
00:21:33,644 --> 00:21:35,244
even if a billion chips get in there,

562
00:21:35,244 --> 00:21:36,944
there's not a lot they can do.

563
00:21:37,325 --> 00:21:38,384
Well, is that true?

564
00:21:39,005 --> 00:21:40,765
Have you got it to the point where,

565
00:21:41,044 --> 00:21:43,325
the chips have to be authorized and there

566
00:21:43,325 --> 00:21:45,700
has to be authentication and there has to

567
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:47,000
be proof of ownership

568
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:51,059
and IP logging and all the other stuff

569
00:21:51,059 --> 00:21:53,220
that should be from a security standpoint to

570
00:21:53,220 --> 00:21:53,720
ensure

571
00:21:54,419 --> 00:21:56,359
these machines are not being run

572
00:21:57,644 --> 00:21:59,005
in, you know, in China.

573
00:22:00,205 --> 00:22:01,884
I know there's only so much they can

574
00:22:01,884 --> 00:22:02,384
do,

575
00:22:02,765 --> 00:22:05,005
but, come on. Let's,

576
00:22:06,605 --> 00:22:08,765
let's make sure that the right people are

577
00:22:08,765 --> 00:22:09,825
using these chips.

578
00:22:10,809 --> 00:22:11,390
T Mobile's

579
00:22:11,769 --> 00:22:14,910
Starlink satellite service officially launches and

580
00:22:15,450 --> 00:22:16,830
if you have a phone

581
00:22:19,690 --> 00:22:22,650
that includes iPhones from the iPhone 13 onward

582
00:22:22,650 --> 00:22:25,529
and the Samsung Galaxy s 21

583
00:22:25,529 --> 00:22:26,190
and older

584
00:22:26,945 --> 00:22:28,085
and Google Pixel

585
00:22:28,464 --> 00:22:30,305
phones going back to as early as a

586
00:22:30,305 --> 00:22:31,285
Pixel nine,

587
00:22:31,984 --> 00:22:33,684
they're supported. There's about

588
00:22:34,625 --> 00:22:36,565
how many total devices 60

589
00:22:37,345 --> 00:22:38,644
that are supported.

590
00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:40,299
Now here's the kicker.

591
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,319
If you're on T Mobile's go five gs

592
00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:45,640
next or experience beyond plans, you get t

593
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:46,140
satellite

594
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:47,900
included for free.

595
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:50,599
Other T Mobile customers can access to it

596
00:22:50,599 --> 00:22:51,420
for today

597
00:22:51,964 --> 00:22:53,505
for $10 per

598
00:22:54,045 --> 00:22:54,945
line. Now

599
00:22:55,484 --> 00:22:56,224
no data.

600
00:22:56,765 --> 00:22:57,424
This is

601
00:22:59,884 --> 00:23:00,384
only

602
00:23:03,724 --> 00:23:05,585
sending and receiving text messages.

603
00:23:06,210 --> 00:23:08,529
It doesn't offer any data or any other

604
00:23:08,529 --> 00:23:09,589
services that

605
00:23:10,210 --> 00:23:12,069
as comparably Apple supports.

606
00:23:12,929 --> 00:23:13,429
So

607
00:23:14,210 --> 00:23:16,690
be aware of that when you get ready

608
00:23:16,690 --> 00:23:18,450
to pay your $10. It doesn't mean you're

609
00:23:18,450 --> 00:23:19,890
gonna be out in the middle of the

610
00:23:19,890 --> 00:23:20,390
desert

611
00:23:20,724 --> 00:23:22,325
and have the ability to,

612
00:23:23,284 --> 00:23:25,865
to surf Gate New Central. You'll have

613
00:23:26,724 --> 00:23:28,744
to have a different solution for that.

614
00:23:30,964 --> 00:23:32,744
Clorox. Clorox the

615
00:23:35,029 --> 00:23:36,869
bleach company, I guess they sell more stuff

616
00:23:36,869 --> 00:23:40,789
than that, has sued Cognizant for 380,000,000

617
00:23:40,789 --> 00:23:42,070
over the 2023

618
00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:42,570
hack.

619
00:23:43,109 --> 00:23:45,029
Clark's is blaming them for the cyber attack

620
00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:46,490
claiming the IT provided

621
00:23:47,184 --> 00:23:49,664
handed over passwords to the hackers. So we'll

622
00:23:49,664 --> 00:23:50,805
see where this goes.

623
00:23:51,265 --> 00:23:52,805
830,000,000

624
00:23:53,505 --> 00:23:54,884
380,000,000

625
00:23:55,345 --> 00:23:58,545
from a Cognit and includes $49,000,000

626
00:23:58,545 --> 00:23:59,285
in remedial

627
00:23:59,585 --> 00:24:00,085
cost.

628
00:24:00,470 --> 00:24:02,009
So we'll see how this lawsuit,

629
00:24:02,549 --> 00:24:03,049
proceeds.

630
00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:05,450
The rumored DGI

631
00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:08,730
vacuum gets a launch date and official teaser,

632
00:24:09,269 --> 00:24:11,349
and it looks like the r o m

633
00:24:11,349 --> 00:24:12,329
o, the Romo,

634
00:24:12,934 --> 00:24:13,434
is

635
00:24:13,734 --> 00:24:16,234
arriving soother sooner than expected.

636
00:24:17,015 --> 00:24:19,515
The video teaser was shared by regular DJI

637
00:24:19,575 --> 00:24:22,375
leaker Jasper Ellens and is apparently taken from

638
00:24:22,375 --> 00:24:25,194
the official Chinese DJI Romo account.

639
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,960
It shows two versions of the Romo side

640
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,640
by side with a date and time of

641
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:30,450
August

642
00:24:30,450 --> 00:24:31,259
6,

643
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,180
on 8PM.

644
00:24:34,279 --> 00:24:35,420
Look and see. Does it

645
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,620
say how much the device is gonna cost?

646
00:24:40,404 --> 00:24:43,365
No. But I would expect probably upwards of

647
00:24:43,365 --> 00:24:44,664
close to a thousand

648
00:24:45,045 --> 00:24:45,545
dollars.

649
00:24:47,125 --> 00:24:49,205
I think this is great, to be honest

650
00:24:49,205 --> 00:24:49,865
with you,

651
00:24:50,164 --> 00:24:51,945
and I can't wait for the reviews

652
00:24:52,325 --> 00:24:55,089
on this. I my loft is very very

653
00:24:55,089 --> 00:24:55,589
complicated

654
00:24:57,009 --> 00:24:57,990
for a

655
00:24:58,690 --> 00:25:00,710
robot to vacuum. There's

656
00:25:01,890 --> 00:25:03,990
there's throw rugs. There are

657
00:25:05,089 --> 00:25:06,069
with some with

658
00:25:06,815 --> 00:25:08,575
that are plush and some that are flat

659
00:25:08,575 --> 00:25:09,394
and then there's

660
00:25:09,855 --> 00:25:10,755
a flat services

661
00:25:11,295 --> 00:25:12,115
with tile

662
00:25:12,815 --> 00:25:13,315
and

663
00:25:13,615 --> 00:25:14,914
it it basically

664
00:25:16,575 --> 00:25:18,815
and a lot of obstacles. And if this

665
00:25:18,815 --> 00:25:20,914
thing is good at obstacle avoidance,

666
00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:23,019
I will be

667
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,440
very inclined and maybe pick one of these

668
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:26,940
up

669
00:25:27,319 --> 00:25:28,220
at some point,

670
00:25:28,919 --> 00:25:29,740
in the future.

671
00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:32,759
But it we'll we'll see. We'll see what

672
00:25:32,759 --> 00:25:33,900
happens with this.

673
00:25:34,394 --> 00:25:35,615
Apple has introduced

674
00:25:36,075 --> 00:25:37,134
the AppleCare

675
00:25:38,075 --> 00:25:40,815
one plan streaming coverage into a single plan

676
00:25:41,195 --> 00:25:43,835
with incredible value. Now, you know, this really

677
00:25:43,835 --> 00:25:45,914
won't from won't will not work for me

678
00:25:45,914 --> 00:25:47,455
because of the number of devices.

679
00:25:48,180 --> 00:25:49,160
But if you if you

680
00:25:49,539 --> 00:25:50,360
have a tablet,

681
00:25:51,380 --> 00:25:52,600
if you have a

682
00:25:52,980 --> 00:25:53,480
iPhone

683
00:25:54,259 --> 00:25:55,960
and a computer,

684
00:25:57,220 --> 00:25:58,360
you get three devices.

685
00:26:00,894 --> 00:26:02,255
For $19.99

686
00:26:02,255 --> 00:26:04,335
per month, customers can protect up to three

687
00:26:04,335 --> 00:26:05,714
devices in one plan

688
00:26:06,015 --> 00:26:07,934
with the option to add more at any

689
00:26:07,934 --> 00:26:10,194
time for five ninety nine per month.

690
00:26:10,654 --> 00:26:12,654
So I guess one will have to do

691
00:26:12,654 --> 00:26:13,714
the math here

692
00:26:14,289 --> 00:26:17,250
to see what the delta is between buying

693
00:26:17,250 --> 00:26:19,029
Apple so I don't buy AppleCare

694
00:26:20,289 --> 00:26:21,430
for my iPhones.

695
00:26:22,049 --> 00:26:23,910
And here's the reason why.

696
00:26:25,650 --> 00:26:26,150
I

697
00:26:26,930 --> 00:26:27,430
essentially

698
00:26:28,454 --> 00:26:29,755
pay outright cash

699
00:26:30,134 --> 00:26:32,294
or my company does for the iPhone. So

700
00:26:32,294 --> 00:26:33,755
if I break it drop it,

701
00:26:34,615 --> 00:26:36,234
it's gonna be on me

702
00:26:36,694 --> 00:26:37,674
to get it repaired.

703
00:26:38,214 --> 00:26:39,275
I've been using

704
00:26:39,894 --> 00:26:40,794
Apple TVs

705
00:26:41,414 --> 00:26:42,634
and other devices

706
00:26:43,330 --> 00:26:45,990
long enough to know they just don't break.

707
00:26:46,529 --> 00:26:47,350
They don't.

708
00:26:48,289 --> 00:26:52,150
I typically will put AppleCare on tablets and

709
00:26:52,210 --> 00:26:52,710
on

710
00:26:53,250 --> 00:26:53,750
laptops

711
00:26:54,049 --> 00:26:54,549
and,

712
00:26:55,715 --> 00:26:58,195
and I don't even put AppleCare on my

713
00:26:58,195 --> 00:26:59,015
Apple Watch.

714
00:27:00,515 --> 00:27:02,595
The reason I do on tablets and on

715
00:27:02,595 --> 00:27:02,994
the,

716
00:27:04,275 --> 00:27:06,035
on the computers is because you break a

717
00:27:06,035 --> 00:27:06,535
screen,

718
00:27:07,315 --> 00:27:08,615
it's paid for itself

719
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,440
instantly. Now I've never broke a straight a

720
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,740
screen, knock on wood,

721
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:15,440
but, you know, do you do the same?

722
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,740
Do you only put AppleCare

723
00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:18,579
on your tablets and

724
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,420
on your,

725
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:21,940
your computers?

726
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,099
Or do you do your phones

727
00:27:24,795 --> 00:27:25,535
as well?

728
00:27:26,555 --> 00:27:28,315
And I know some folks if depending on

729
00:27:28,315 --> 00:27:29,535
how you're getting your iPhone,

730
00:27:30,075 --> 00:27:32,015
you may be required to have insurance

731
00:27:32,634 --> 00:27:35,195
and sometimes insurance through third parties like your

732
00:27:35,195 --> 00:27:36,815
mobile provider might

733
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:38,819
be cheaper,

734
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,019
but I'm not

735
00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:42,240
big into these. If I can pay once

736
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,059
and be done

737
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,059
or pay for a three year contract

738
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,220
and be done, I'm good.

739
00:27:47,759 --> 00:27:50,099
By the time the computer's three years old,

740
00:27:51,315 --> 00:27:52,914
you know, if I break it, then I'm,

741
00:27:52,914 --> 00:27:55,075
you know, probably won't feel bad in in

742
00:27:55,075 --> 00:27:55,894
buying another,

743
00:27:56,755 --> 00:27:57,815
another machine.

744
00:27:58,275 --> 00:28:00,035
But, you know, I've got Macs that are

745
00:28:00,035 --> 00:28:00,934
now that are,

746
00:28:01,234 --> 00:28:03,394
you know, more than Mac Pros that are

747
00:28:03,394 --> 00:28:05,599
more than ten years old that are that

748
00:28:05,599 --> 00:28:06,740
are running strong.

749
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,840
And, you know, keyboard might have a little

750
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,440
bit of an issue or something like that.

751
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,180
And I use

752
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,460
them in the studio in Hawaii to,

753
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,380
basically be heads up systems for me

754
00:28:20,025 --> 00:28:22,424
in watching chat and different stuff that like

755
00:28:22,424 --> 00:28:23,565
that that I'm doing.

756
00:28:24,424 --> 00:28:26,664
New York is seeking public opinion on water

757
00:28:26,664 --> 00:28:28,744
system cyber regulations. And I think if you

758
00:28:28,744 --> 00:28:29,144
work

759
00:28:29,625 --> 00:28:30,684
live in New York,

760
00:28:31,144 --> 00:28:31,644
especially,

761
00:28:32,664 --> 00:28:34,684
and if you pay for water there,

762
00:28:36,230 --> 00:28:38,069
which I know some people are on on

763
00:28:38,069 --> 00:28:38,569
wells,

764
00:28:39,269 --> 00:28:41,849
they're really they release a proposed cyber regulation

765
00:28:41,909 --> 00:28:44,869
cover water where corporations, cable television companies, and

766
00:28:44,869 --> 00:28:46,089
other public utilities.

767
00:28:46,549 --> 00:28:49,049
But these are very minimum standards

768
00:28:49,825 --> 00:28:50,565
for improving

769
00:28:51,025 --> 00:28:52,005
water infrastructure

770
00:28:52,305 --> 00:28:54,325
and resilience against sophisticated

771
00:28:55,184 --> 00:28:57,525
cyber attacks on IoT devices

772
00:28:58,144 --> 00:29:00,244
and other, you know, other infrastructure

773
00:29:00,705 --> 00:29:01,205
IP.

774
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,160
I think this is a situation where the

775
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,820
consumers have an opportunity here to say, hey.

776
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,240
We want not just minimum standards. We want

777
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,299
things to be,

778
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:12,900
you know, want our infrastructure

779
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,180
to be secure.

780
00:29:14,785 --> 00:29:16,085
We really, really do.

781
00:29:16,464 --> 00:29:18,305
And it's your chance to put input on

782
00:29:18,305 --> 00:29:19,265
that. So,

783
00:29:19,664 --> 00:29:22,384
consider doing so. SpaceX has launched a pair

784
00:29:22,384 --> 00:29:24,704
of NASA satellites to probe the origins of

785
00:29:24,704 --> 00:29:25,684
space weather.

786
00:29:26,305 --> 00:29:28,384
The twin spacecraft are part of the NASA

787
00:29:28,384 --> 00:29:29,765
funded tracers mission,

788
00:29:30,099 --> 00:29:32,519
which will spend at least a year measuring

789
00:29:32,659 --> 00:29:35,139
plasma conditions in their regions of the Earth's

790
00:29:35,139 --> 00:29:36,279
magnetic field

791
00:29:36,659 --> 00:29:38,599
known as polar cusp.

792
00:29:39,139 --> 00:29:41,779
As the name suggests, these regions located over

793
00:29:41,779 --> 00:29:42,440
the poles.

794
00:29:43,299 --> 00:29:43,799
So,

795
00:29:45,755 --> 00:29:46,414
for example,

796
00:29:47,035 --> 00:29:49,835
an extreme geometric stream storm last year degraded

797
00:29:49,835 --> 00:29:51,934
GPS navigation signals resulting

798
00:29:52,394 --> 00:29:54,154
in more than $500,000,000

799
00:29:54,154 --> 00:29:56,394
in economic loss. And I wonder how they

800
00:29:56,394 --> 00:29:57,775
figured that, to be honest.

801
00:29:58,690 --> 00:30:02,210
In in the agriculture agriculture sectors, farms temporary

802
00:30:02,210 --> 00:30:03,269
suspend suspended,

803
00:30:04,529 --> 00:30:06,710
spring planting in 2022.

804
00:30:07,730 --> 00:30:08,130
And,

805
00:30:08,849 --> 00:30:10,930
so they wanna understand this. Now it's not

806
00:30:10,930 --> 00:30:12,710
going to stop it.

807
00:30:13,404 --> 00:30:15,025
When there is a solar flare

808
00:30:15,565 --> 00:30:17,345
and this happens, you you know,

809
00:30:17,724 --> 00:30:20,204
there's only so much you can do. You

810
00:30:20,204 --> 00:30:21,345
just gotta wait

811
00:30:21,884 --> 00:30:22,865
until it dissipates.

812
00:30:25,099 --> 00:30:27,099
You know, it's this is they can study

813
00:30:27,099 --> 00:30:28,160
it all they want,

814
00:30:28,460 --> 00:30:29,759
but it doesn't change

815
00:30:30,460 --> 00:30:31,820
the simple fact that,

816
00:30:32,619 --> 00:30:33,759
you're gonna have,

817
00:30:37,515 --> 00:30:38,975
it's just gonna be an issue.

818
00:30:39,914 --> 00:30:42,475
There's a instant article over at Digital Trends.

819
00:30:42,475 --> 00:30:44,955
They're saying why home Internet beats five g

820
00:30:44,955 --> 00:30:47,755
hotspots for speed savings and reliability. Well, I

821
00:30:47,755 --> 00:30:49,215
think we all know this.

822
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:52,819
But some people don't have a choice.

823
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,519
Some people are on their five g networks

824
00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:57,539
in their homes because like me,

825
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,220
there is no Internet.

826
00:31:00,159 --> 00:31:01,599
And you if if you have a mobile

827
00:31:01,599 --> 00:31:03,759
device, it has good connectivity. It's it's a

828
00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:05,414
great option for you.

829
00:31:06,455 --> 00:31:06,955
And,

830
00:31:08,615 --> 00:31:10,154
and it may not be perfect.

831
00:31:11,575 --> 00:31:14,154
The the advice is get a STARLINK or,

832
00:31:14,855 --> 00:31:15,515
you know,

833
00:31:16,055 --> 00:31:18,455
like me, wait until hell froze over, which

834
00:31:18,455 --> 00:31:20,295
just recently did. It looks like I'm getting

835
00:31:20,295 --> 00:31:23,180
fiber. You know? Again, I'm still shocked

836
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,519
that I'm gonna get fiber. I'm I'm just

837
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:27,420
blown away,

838
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,400
and I look forward to,

839
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,579
being able to order fiber.

840
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:32,940
I really am.

841
00:31:35,015 --> 00:31:35,515
So

842
00:31:35,974 --> 00:31:37,994
it's, you know, exciting time for me.

843
00:31:38,535 --> 00:31:39,755
But, we'll see,

844
00:31:40,375 --> 00:31:42,535
what happens here. Now one thing that I

845
00:31:42,535 --> 00:31:43,035
remembered,

846
00:31:44,535 --> 00:31:45,434
I did

847
00:31:45,815 --> 00:31:46,315
submit

848
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:48,420
to Frontier

849
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:50,259
to be put on a list

850
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:53,940
years ago

851
00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:57,279
that I would want fiber if they brought

852
00:31:57,279 --> 00:31:58,259
it to my area.

853
00:31:59,134 --> 00:32:00,974
So I wonder if I had some neighbors

854
00:32:00,974 --> 00:32:03,294
that did the same. Again, how they routed

855
00:32:03,294 --> 00:32:05,474
it in my neighborhood is pretty remarkable.

856
00:32:06,815 --> 00:32:08,994
I could have been again a whole mile

857
00:32:09,534 --> 00:32:10,835
from the fiber connection.

858
00:32:13,109 --> 00:32:13,609
So,

859
00:32:15,029 --> 00:32:18,230
maybe that, you know, maybe that influenced it.

860
00:32:18,230 --> 00:32:18,970
Who knows?

861
00:32:22,389 --> 00:32:23,750
Sam Altman did another

862
00:32:24,230 --> 00:32:25,369
had another comment

863
00:32:26,595 --> 00:32:27,095
about

864
00:32:27,714 --> 00:32:31,174
collectively deciding we're going to live our lives

865
00:32:31,234 --> 00:32:33,414
the way AI tells us

866
00:32:34,115 --> 00:32:36,674
feels really, really bad even to me. And

867
00:32:36,674 --> 00:32:39,154
he says it's bad and change and bad

868
00:32:39,154 --> 00:32:39,974
and dangerous.

869
00:32:42,269 --> 00:32:44,190
He was speaking at the Federal Reserve Banking

870
00:32:44,190 --> 00:32:46,589
event. He says people rely on Chatt GPT

871
00:32:46,589 --> 00:32:47,250
too much.

872
00:32:47,710 --> 00:32:50,909
There's young people saying say things like I

873
00:32:50,909 --> 00:32:53,390
can't make any decision in my life without

874
00:32:53,390 --> 00:32:54,210
telling Chatt

875
00:32:54,750 --> 00:32:57,255
GPT everything that's going on. It knows me.

876
00:32:57,255 --> 00:32:59,174
It knows my friends. It's I'm gonna do

877
00:32:59,174 --> 00:33:00,775
whatever it says. That feels

878
00:33:01,255 --> 00:33:01,914
and, again,

879
00:33:02,535 --> 00:33:04,555
are we doing this, ladies and gentlemen?

880
00:33:05,575 --> 00:33:07,734
This comes after new data found that chat

881
00:33:07,815 --> 00:33:10,055
chat g b t received over 2,500,000,000

882
00:33:10,055 --> 00:33:12,590
prompts a day for more than 500,000,000

883
00:33:13,289 --> 00:33:13,789
listeners.

884
00:33:14,809 --> 00:33:15,309
And

885
00:33:16,410 --> 00:33:18,730
last month, following a major chat and GPT

886
00:33:18,730 --> 00:33:19,230
outage,

887
00:33:21,369 --> 00:33:22,349
the folks at Tech

888
00:33:23,115 --> 00:33:25,994
Radar wrote how AI is generally helping millions

889
00:33:25,994 --> 00:33:27,214
people get through life.

890
00:33:27,595 --> 00:33:29,275
And while that seems to be the case,

891
00:33:29,275 --> 00:33:30,954
there's also a worrying number use the tech

892
00:33:30,954 --> 00:33:33,035
so much they can't cope with life without

893
00:33:33,035 --> 00:33:33,934
it, which is

894
00:33:34,315 --> 00:33:34,815
scary.

895
00:33:36,519 --> 00:33:38,839
The writer tech writers tech writer said during

896
00:33:38,839 --> 00:33:40,680
the ten hour outage, I received emails from

897
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,000
chat GPT users who hadn't written emails in

898
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:43,500
months

899
00:33:43,799 --> 00:33:45,259
without the help of AI.

900
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,559
They use a technology to help them on

901
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,140
with online dating and work and so forth.

902
00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:51,019
I still

903
00:33:51,325 --> 00:33:52,865
write all my own emails.

904
00:33:57,325 --> 00:34:00,705
Most emails don't require such a long response

905
00:34:01,565 --> 00:34:03,664
that I need chat g p t for.

906
00:34:08,140 --> 00:34:09,920
And it just feels so impersonal.

907
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:15,179
And the number of emails I get on

908
00:34:15,179 --> 00:34:17,900
a daily basis is probably down that I

909
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:19,280
have to respond to.

910
00:34:19,644 --> 00:34:21,825
It's probably under 50 a day.

911
00:34:23,724 --> 00:34:24,224
So

912
00:34:24,684 --> 00:34:25,744
I don't know. Again,

913
00:34:27,485 --> 00:34:28,704
where are you on this?

914
00:34:29,164 --> 00:34:30,144
Are are you

915
00:34:31,085 --> 00:34:31,985
are you addicted

916
00:34:32,930 --> 00:34:33,910
to using ChatGPT

917
00:34:34,289 --> 00:34:34,950
for everything?

918
00:34:35,650 --> 00:34:37,430
Is it leaving you feel anxious?

919
00:34:40,369 --> 00:34:41,750
I I did a

920
00:34:43,890 --> 00:34:45,510
we we use

921
00:34:46,664 --> 00:34:47,164
a,

922
00:34:48,824 --> 00:34:50,125
a ticketing system.

923
00:34:50,585 --> 00:34:51,485
I think it's called,

924
00:34:52,025 --> 00:34:52,525
Zendesk.

925
00:34:53,465 --> 00:34:55,144
I'm not I can't think off the top

926
00:34:55,144 --> 00:34:55,885
of my head.

927
00:34:56,505 --> 00:34:57,644
Yeah. Maybe Zendesk.

928
00:34:58,344 --> 00:35:00,105
And we had a hell of a time

929
00:35:00,105 --> 00:35:01,085
getting the

930
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,880
data exported out of matter of fact, my

931
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,219
son who's doing the internship with

932
00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:08,380
the Blueberry right now,

933
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,719
wrote the AI interface and pulled the data

934
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:12,380
down and,

935
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,554
we got it in a

936
00:35:14,855 --> 00:35:16,534
CSV file. Matter of fact, they defaulted to

937
00:35:16,534 --> 00:35:19,355
JSON, which is kind of crazy. So,

938
00:35:19,894 --> 00:35:21,574
but we got things into it as,

939
00:35:22,214 --> 00:35:23,275
into a spreadsheet.

940
00:35:24,295 --> 00:35:24,695
And,

941
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:28,550
there's literally thousands of customer tickets in there,

942
00:35:28,550 --> 00:35:30,650
but it also tracks things like missed calls

943
00:35:31,110 --> 00:35:33,030
and outbound calls. So, you know, you had

944
00:35:33,030 --> 00:35:34,730
to do a bit of pruning.

945
00:35:35,510 --> 00:35:36,969
And we're using now,

946
00:35:37,670 --> 00:35:38,170
ChatGPT

947
00:35:38,630 --> 00:35:40,010
to do data analysis

948
00:35:41,085 --> 00:35:42,065
on our tickets.

949
00:35:42,445 --> 00:35:45,425
You know, what's trending up? What's trending down?

950
00:35:46,204 --> 00:35:48,605
Where do we need improvement in response? In

951
00:35:48,605 --> 00:35:50,925
other words, tickets that took two, three, four

952
00:35:50,925 --> 00:35:53,679
responses to get a result. How you know,

953
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:55,599
every time a ticket has to be respond

954
00:35:55,599 --> 00:35:56,980
to, that's more time

955
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:57,920
that my,

956
00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:00,900
support team could be doing other things.

957
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:01,780
So

958
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,340
we're we're building a data set

959
00:36:05,214 --> 00:36:07,394
that's going to allow us to address

960
00:36:08,894 --> 00:36:10,434
specific nuanced issues.

961
00:36:10,894 --> 00:36:12,914
And again, if let's say I got

962
00:36:13,375 --> 00:36:14,275
over a year,

963
00:36:15,614 --> 00:36:18,675
25 tickets on a specific topic.

964
00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:20,820
Well then I can build

965
00:36:21,519 --> 00:36:23,380
a dedicated auto response

966
00:36:24,159 --> 00:36:25,940
to that specific topic.

967
00:36:27,199 --> 00:36:28,260
Do that once.

968
00:36:28,639 --> 00:36:30,320
Have it ready to go to cut and

969
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,839
paste and put in the system. At the

970
00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:32,500
same time,

971
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:33,780
you can build

972
00:36:35,574 --> 00:36:37,655
fixes in the system. If there's something that

973
00:36:37,655 --> 00:36:40,155
is repeated, the customer's having issue with,

974
00:36:40,855 --> 00:36:42,934
whatever the topic may be, you can say,

975
00:36:42,934 --> 00:36:45,175
okay. Let's spend a little dev time here

976
00:36:45,175 --> 00:36:46,394
and and make improvements.

977
00:36:48,215 --> 00:36:49,035
I probably

978
00:36:49,969 --> 00:36:53,349
in this initial run of data research, which

979
00:36:53,730 --> 00:36:55,730
I didn't spend a lot of time on,

980
00:36:55,730 --> 00:36:57,569
it was kind of like a maybe a

981
00:36:57,569 --> 00:36:59,589
fifteen to twenty minute quick look,

982
00:37:00,369 --> 00:37:02,130
which I'm gonna spend more time next week

983
00:37:02,130 --> 00:37:03,909
doing a deep deep deep dive.

984
00:37:05,065 --> 00:37:06,824
You know, I got some some stuff that's

985
00:37:06,824 --> 00:37:07,324
maybe

986
00:37:07,625 --> 00:37:09,385
a That's worth you know, we're gonna need

987
00:37:09,385 --> 00:37:10,445
to take a look at that.

988
00:37:12,824 --> 00:37:15,305
So I think it can be used in

989
00:37:15,305 --> 00:37:17,244
reasonable ways to help you

990
00:37:17,930 --> 00:37:20,890
make a good decisions in your business environment,

991
00:37:20,890 --> 00:37:23,150
but I don't know about shit

992
00:37:23,849 --> 00:37:25,150
again, writing emails.

993
00:37:25,610 --> 00:37:27,050
I'm seeing a lot of emails come into

994
00:37:27,050 --> 00:37:29,789
my inbox, so they're definitely written by

995
00:37:30,255 --> 00:37:31,154
a bot, especially,

996
00:37:31,934 --> 00:37:33,714
folks that are looking to do my business.

997
00:37:34,654 --> 00:37:36,974
People that are doing business development, trying to

998
00:37:36,974 --> 00:37:39,635
get you leads, all those emails are nearly

999
00:37:39,694 --> 00:37:40,194
identical.

1000
00:37:41,694 --> 00:37:44,750
Microsoft SharePoint attack now sees victim count rising

1001
00:37:44,750 --> 00:37:45,650
to 400

1002
00:37:45,710 --> 00:37:46,210
organizations

1003
00:37:46,510 --> 00:37:48,369
including a US nuclear agency.

1004
00:37:49,389 --> 00:37:50,109
So again,

1005
00:37:50,989 --> 00:37:51,809
this is bad.

1006
00:37:52,989 --> 00:37:56,190
The hackers named Linen Typhoon, Violet Typhoon, and

1007
00:37:56,190 --> 00:37:59,095
Storm twenty six zero three are primarily coming

1008
00:37:59,095 --> 00:37:59,974
out of,

1009
00:38:00,454 --> 00:38:01,195
of China.

1010
00:38:01,815 --> 00:38:04,375
So again up to 400 organizations have been

1011
00:38:04,375 --> 00:38:05,434
affected already.

1012
00:38:07,015 --> 00:38:07,835
Now IRobot

1013
00:38:08,215 --> 00:38:09,275
has a new

1014
00:38:09,575 --> 00:38:10,875
Roomba as well.

1015
00:38:11,319 --> 00:38:13,559
The Roomba Max seven zero five combo will

1016
00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:16,119
automatically deploy a mop cover to prevent your

1017
00:38:16,119 --> 00:38:17,579
carpet from getting wet.

1018
00:38:18,119 --> 00:38:20,199
So if it transitions from a hard floor

1019
00:38:20,199 --> 00:38:21,819
to a carpet,

1020
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,219
I really don't need a mop

1021
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:25,260
per se.

1022
00:38:26,414 --> 00:38:26,914
But,

1023
00:38:28,175 --> 00:38:30,255
you know, it's one thing about these devices

1024
00:38:30,255 --> 00:38:31,775
and, you know, I kind of talked about

1025
00:38:31,775 --> 00:38:33,855
a little bit earlier here. It's best if

1026
00:38:33,855 --> 00:38:36,255
you have all carpet or no carpet, but

1027
00:38:36,255 --> 00:38:38,655
I know most people don't live in that

1028
00:38:38,655 --> 00:38:39,875
type of environment.

1029
00:38:41,900 --> 00:38:44,319
A Swiss startup says its AI weather forecaster

1030
00:38:44,380 --> 00:38:46,000
beats Microsoft and Google,

1031
00:38:46,619 --> 00:38:47,119
and

1032
00:38:47,659 --> 00:38:48,480
Swiss startup,

1033
00:38:49,739 --> 00:38:51,519
Jua, j u a,

1034
00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:53,920
Jua has launched a weather model,

1035
00:38:54,764 --> 00:38:58,045
claims it's faster and more accurate than most

1036
00:38:58,045 --> 00:39:01,025
Microsoft Aurora and Google DeepMind GraphCast

1037
00:39:02,364 --> 00:39:05,264
in separate peer to peer reviewed studies.

1038
00:39:06,045 --> 00:39:08,364
So they back up this bold claim within

1039
00:39:08,364 --> 00:39:10,289
a report published today that puts the EP

1040
00:39:10,289 --> 00:39:12,429
two head to head with top tier models.

1041
00:39:13,130 --> 00:39:16,170
According to paper, delivering the most accurate forecast

1042
00:39:16,170 --> 00:39:19,130
around the world, it beat Aurora on key

1043
00:39:19,130 --> 00:39:20,349
variables like 10

1044
00:39:20,650 --> 00:39:23,050
meter wind speed and two meter air temperature

1045
00:39:23,050 --> 00:39:24,190
over a ten day period,

1046
00:39:25,585 --> 00:39:27,344
Grand forecast 25

1047
00:39:27,344 --> 00:39:30,224
faster and posted lower air scores of all

1048
00:39:30,224 --> 00:39:31,204
models tested.

1049
00:39:31,744 --> 00:39:33,265
I guess we're not gonna need,

1050
00:39:35,105 --> 00:39:35,605
meteorologist

1051
00:39:35,905 --> 00:39:36,405
soon.

1052
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,300
That probably is not

1053
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:40,400
a,

1054
00:39:41,199 --> 00:39:43,460
unless you're gonna go into a sub

1055
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:44,820
career.

1056
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:48,019
A, I don't know. This

1057
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,619
seems like a

1058
00:39:52,244 --> 00:39:52,744
a

1059
00:39:53,844 --> 00:39:54,824
heavily affected

1060
00:39:55,125 --> 00:39:55,625
job

1061
00:39:56,644 --> 00:39:58,025
with with AI.

1062
00:39:59,284 --> 00:40:01,204
Apparently, Google Assistant has been having a rough

1063
00:40:01,204 --> 00:40:03,260
few weeks and Google actually responded and said,

1064
00:40:03,260 --> 00:40:05,500
yep. We see some see some issues. We're

1065
00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:06,480
addressing them.

1066
00:40:06,780 --> 00:40:09,019
So if Google has been Google Assistant has

1067
00:40:09,019 --> 00:40:11,739
been a little bit weird, this is they

1068
00:40:11,739 --> 00:40:12,480
they know.

1069
00:40:14,219 --> 00:40:15,760
You know, I I don't use

1070
00:40:16,625 --> 00:40:19,264
hey a l e x a and hey

1071
00:40:19,264 --> 00:40:20,244
g o o

1072
00:40:20,625 --> 00:40:21,364
l e

1073
00:40:21,664 --> 00:40:22,804
very often anymore.

1074
00:40:23,905 --> 00:40:25,344
Especially when I'm on travel, I don't even

1075
00:40:27,184 --> 00:40:28,085
I guess my

1076
00:40:28,545 --> 00:40:30,964
Fire Stick could respond, but I I don't

1077
00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:32,809
don't use it that way.

1078
00:40:34,630 --> 00:40:37,269
Dior has told customers the data was swiped

1079
00:40:37,269 --> 00:40:38,809
in a cyber snafu.

1080
00:40:39,829 --> 00:40:40,329
LVMH

1081
00:40:41,510 --> 00:40:43,530
owned Dior, the French,

1082
00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:45,289
purveyor of overpriced

1083
00:40:46,394 --> 00:40:49,994
garments and fragrances confirmed in breach notification letter

1084
00:40:49,994 --> 00:40:51,934
filed with California's attorney general

1085
00:40:52,394 --> 00:40:55,195
that US customers' data had been accessed during

1086
00:40:55,195 --> 00:40:56,335
a recent attack.

1087
00:40:57,114 --> 00:40:59,969
So they didn't say exactly which data but

1088
00:40:59,969 --> 00:41:01,750
accept that it was. So if

1089
00:41:02,369 --> 00:41:04,530
if you have a significant other or you

1090
00:41:04,530 --> 00:41:07,190
are the significant other, the Shobsit Dior,

1091
00:41:09,090 --> 00:41:11,809
yeah, they looks like they maybe have your

1092
00:41:11,809 --> 00:41:12,309
info.

1093
00:41:13,135 --> 00:41:16,114
Tesla bets on bought smoke screen as political

1094
00:41:16,255 --> 00:41:18,355
and market reality bites.

1095
00:41:18,894 --> 00:41:19,394
Yeah.

1096
00:41:20,095 --> 00:41:23,215
Speaking to Tesla investors last night, CEO Elon

1097
00:41:23,215 --> 00:41:25,474
Musk was optimistic about the future.

1098
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:26,920
But,

1099
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,119
quick witted observers need to first point out

1100
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:32,460
that when he started talking about Optimus,

1101
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,900
that definitely had nothing to do with Tesla.

1102
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:37,420
So,

1103
00:41:40,275 --> 00:41:41,335
they know that

1104
00:41:42,034 --> 00:41:42,775
their profits

1105
00:41:43,074 --> 00:41:44,855
had slid 23%,

1106
00:41:45,554 --> 00:41:48,114
and we know that Tesla shares fell almost

1107
00:41:48,114 --> 00:41:48,934
7%.

1108
00:41:49,474 --> 00:41:50,295
I'm still

1109
00:41:51,410 --> 00:41:53,970
gonna bet on Tesla. And, you know, I

1110
00:41:53,970 --> 00:41:55,489
don't own any of the stock. I can't

1111
00:41:55,489 --> 00:41:57,910
afford to or own any of the stock.

1112
00:41:58,369 --> 00:41:59,809
But if if I,

1113
00:42:00,690 --> 00:42:01,910
if I could,

1114
00:42:02,210 --> 00:42:03,970
I would probably buy some of their stock.

1115
00:42:03,970 --> 00:42:05,570
Maybe a good time to buy when it's

1116
00:42:05,570 --> 00:42:07,304
down. I just you know, know, one thing

1117
00:42:07,304 --> 00:42:08,824
is gonna happen. This is gonna happen to

1118
00:42:08,824 --> 00:42:11,885
every car manufacturer with all of the incentives

1119
00:42:12,105 --> 00:42:14,204
and rebates and all that stuff that is

1120
00:42:14,425 --> 00:42:16,204
being afforded them going away.

1121
00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:20,519
You know, time will tell how this is

1122
00:42:20,519 --> 00:42:22,140
gonna ultimately affect them.

1123
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,680
Intel has beat a shareholder lawsuit over $32,000,000,000

1124
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:27,579
stock plunge,

1125
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:29,420
and,

1126
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,280
a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit accusing Intel

1127
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,964
of defrauding shareholders by concealing problems in business

1128
00:42:34,964 --> 00:42:36,344
where it manufactured chips

1129
00:42:36,644 --> 00:42:39,545
for outside con companies in their foundries.

1130
00:42:40,644 --> 00:42:44,565
And, we know that their stock sunk 26%

1131
00:42:44,565 --> 00:42:45,065
in

1132
00:42:45,989 --> 00:42:46,730
last August

1133
00:42:47,269 --> 00:42:47,670
and,

1134
00:42:48,070 --> 00:42:50,250
again of last year, not this year.

1135
00:42:50,789 --> 00:42:52,329
And with 15,000

1136
00:42:52,389 --> 00:42:55,130
layoffs and they suspended dividends in

1137
00:42:55,909 --> 00:42:58,389
hoping to send 10,000,000,000 in 2025.

1138
00:42:58,389 --> 00:42:58,889
So

1139
00:42:59,644 --> 00:43:01,905
the lawsuit is not going to continue.

1140
00:43:03,164 --> 00:43:05,964
Google's tool for virtually trying on close is

1141
00:43:05,964 --> 00:43:08,525
now available in United States. It arrives with

1142
00:43:08,525 --> 00:43:10,304
better price tracking.

1143
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,039
So Google previewed a new a powered feature

1144
00:43:14,039 --> 00:43:16,359
that the company said was simplified online shopping.

1145
00:43:16,359 --> 00:43:18,460
The tool allows you to upload a single

1146
00:43:18,839 --> 00:43:21,159
full body photo of yourself. Now what do

1147
00:43:21,159 --> 00:43:23,079
you what do you wear when you do

1148
00:43:23,079 --> 00:43:23,579
that?

1149
00:43:24,805 --> 00:43:26,805
What what do you take a picture of

1150
00:43:26,805 --> 00:43:28,724
if you wanna see if something is going

1151
00:43:28,724 --> 00:43:30,184
to look good on you?

1152
00:43:30,724 --> 00:43:33,065
Do you wear a t shirt and shorts?

1153
00:43:33,125 --> 00:43:34,025
What is the

1154
00:43:34,485 --> 00:43:36,244
what is the what is the clothes they

1155
00:43:36,244 --> 00:43:38,005
want you to wear when you upload the

1156
00:43:38,005 --> 00:43:38,505
picture?

1157
00:43:40,510 --> 00:43:41,869
That is the,

1158
00:43:42,349 --> 00:43:45,089
the question here. One thing's for sure.

1159
00:43:46,349 --> 00:43:46,829
I've,

1160
00:43:47,389 --> 00:43:50,829
now at the 20 pound in weight loss

1161
00:43:50,829 --> 00:43:52,210
mark and I'm kinda stuck.

1162
00:43:52,605 --> 00:43:54,445
I haven't really moved in the last three

1163
00:43:54,445 --> 00:43:55,744
or four or five days.

1164
00:43:56,125 --> 00:43:57,644
So it's one of those times it kinda

1165
00:43:57,644 --> 00:43:59,744
happens when you're losing weight. You kinda

1166
00:44:00,284 --> 00:44:01,025
kinda hit

1167
00:44:01,405 --> 00:44:03,324
a you know, and and then it'll it'll

1168
00:44:03,324 --> 00:44:04,065
go again.

1169
00:44:04,859 --> 00:44:07,259
That sure is frustrating when you're stepping on

1170
00:44:07,259 --> 00:44:09,440
the scale every morning and logging your weight.

1171
00:44:09,819 --> 00:44:10,059
The,

1172
00:44:11,420 --> 00:44:13,099
I'm gonna have to order some some new

1173
00:44:13,099 --> 00:44:15,420
pants or dig I maybe have some pants

1174
00:44:15,420 --> 00:44:17,420
and I probably have some pants in my

1175
00:44:17,420 --> 00:44:18,319
closet that

1176
00:44:19,144 --> 00:44:21,304
will fit that when I got down to

1177
00:44:21,304 --> 00:44:22,525
a thirty eight before,

1178
00:44:23,784 --> 00:44:24,764
because I'm definitely

1179
00:44:25,065 --> 00:44:25,804
waist sizes.

1180
00:44:26,344 --> 00:44:29,164
The the pants that I'm wearing here that,

1181
00:44:30,025 --> 00:44:30,684
you know,

1182
00:44:31,539 --> 00:44:32,359
are are definitely

1183
00:44:33,139 --> 00:44:36,199
requiring a few more belt notches and

1184
00:44:36,579 --> 00:44:39,139
scrunching of the pants. Fellas, you kinda know

1185
00:44:39,139 --> 00:44:41,619
how that goes. At least it isn't at

1186
00:44:41,619 --> 00:44:43,719
least the belt line isn't tightening.

1187
00:44:44,285 --> 00:44:47,025
But, yeah. I guess you upload yourself

1188
00:44:47,485 --> 00:44:48,625
in shorts and

1189
00:44:49,005 --> 00:44:50,144
a t shirt, and

1190
00:44:50,684 --> 00:44:52,224
they show you what you look like

1191
00:44:53,164 --> 00:44:54,625
in a specific

1192
00:44:55,085 --> 00:44:55,585
close

1193
00:44:56,125 --> 00:44:57,905
that you may be looking to buy.

1194
00:45:00,010 --> 00:45:00,510
So

1195
00:45:00,969 --> 00:45:02,449
a little more on Intel, and I'm sorry

1196
00:45:02,449 --> 00:45:04,329
I didn't have this group, but Intel abandoned

1197
00:45:04,329 --> 00:45:06,809
European manufacturing sites as part of the turnaround

1198
00:45:06,809 --> 00:45:07,309
planned.

1199
00:45:08,010 --> 00:45:09,150
So this chipmaker

1200
00:45:11,355 --> 00:45:13,295
reported better than expected revenue,

1201
00:45:13,675 --> 00:45:16,315
but still suffered $2,000,000,000

1202
00:45:16,315 --> 00:45:18,494
in loss in the second quarter,

1203
00:45:18,954 --> 00:45:22,175
and which it attributed to one onetime cost

1204
00:45:22,315 --> 00:45:23,695
as part of the turnaround

1205
00:45:24,474 --> 00:45:26,900
plan. At the same time, Apple has released

1206
00:45:26,900 --> 00:45:28,599
the first iOS 26

1207
00:45:28,739 --> 00:45:29,880
public betas

1208
00:45:30,739 --> 00:45:32,199
and mixed reviews.

1209
00:45:32,579 --> 00:45:34,420
Some people are in love with the glass

1210
00:45:34,420 --> 00:45:34,920
effect.

1211
00:45:35,460 --> 00:45:37,159
Some people not so much.

1212
00:45:37,815 --> 00:45:38,315
And,

1213
00:45:39,014 --> 00:45:41,094
you know, it's coming whether we like it

1214
00:45:41,094 --> 00:45:41,755
or not.

1215
00:45:42,375 --> 00:45:45,175
And I've seen some stuff from folks that

1216
00:45:45,175 --> 00:45:46,315
are really, really,

1217
00:45:47,335 --> 00:45:48,714
I guess for a better word,

1218
00:45:49,255 --> 00:45:49,755
troubled

1219
00:45:50,855 --> 00:45:51,994
in that they

1220
00:45:53,809 --> 00:45:55,510
they're going to have to

1221
00:45:56,210 --> 00:45:56,710
rework

1222
00:45:57,809 --> 00:45:59,570
some of the stuff in their in their

1223
00:45:59,570 --> 00:46:00,070
apps.

1224
00:46:02,449 --> 00:46:04,769
So there's lots of examples here that you

1225
00:46:04,769 --> 00:46:05,510
can see

1226
00:46:07,295 --> 00:46:09,855
in the two articles that I'll have linked

1227
00:46:09,855 --> 00:46:11,315
up in the show notes.

1228
00:46:12,015 --> 00:46:12,515
But

1229
00:46:13,375 --> 00:46:14,355
time will tell

1230
00:46:14,655 --> 00:46:16,655
on whether or not this is going to

1231
00:46:16,655 --> 00:46:18,414
grow on us and whether people are going

1232
00:46:18,414 --> 00:46:18,914
to

1233
00:46:19,454 --> 00:46:20,914
like it or not.

1234
00:46:25,090 --> 00:46:27,030
Google has a new web guide

1235
00:46:27,650 --> 00:46:28,150
that

1236
00:46:29,890 --> 00:46:33,090
it's a search experiment that organizes results with

1237
00:46:33,090 --> 00:46:33,590
AI.

1238
00:46:36,114 --> 00:46:39,335
So this AI powered featured web guide

1239
00:46:40,114 --> 00:46:43,474
is a Search Labs experiment that I wonder

1240
00:46:43,474 --> 00:46:44,454
if they're talking about

1241
00:46:44,755 --> 00:46:46,934
comparison to 11 Labs here.

1242
00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:49,579
There maybe that's who they're trying to compete

1243
00:46:49,579 --> 00:46:50,079
with.

1244
00:46:50,460 --> 00:46:52,460
Searchlight, the experience, or wave go over test

1245
00:46:52,460 --> 00:46:55,340
out new ideas by letting users opt into

1246
00:46:55,340 --> 00:46:57,579
those they find interesting. The experiments can be

1247
00:46:57,579 --> 00:46:59,200
turned on or off at any time,

1248
00:46:59,655 --> 00:47:02,375
including things like Google AI mode, notebook l

1249
00:47:02,375 --> 00:47:05,835
m, filmmaking flow flow, and other niche ideas.

1250
00:47:07,974 --> 00:47:10,375
The web guide experience that varies on the

1251
00:47:10,375 --> 00:47:12,695
fan out techniques for displaying search results that

1252
00:47:12,695 --> 00:47:15,519
Google is already using with its AI mode.

1253
00:47:16,940 --> 00:47:19,260
And, Google suggest the feature works well for

1254
00:47:19,260 --> 00:47:22,300
open ended search queries like how to solo

1255
00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:23,359
travel in Japan

1256
00:47:23,820 --> 00:47:26,940
or me even more complex multi sentence queries.

1257
00:47:26,940 --> 00:47:29,214
For instance, you could ask, my family is

1258
00:47:29,214 --> 00:47:31,614
spread across multiple diet time zones. What are

1259
00:47:31,614 --> 00:47:33,394
the best tools for staying connected?

1260
00:47:34,094 --> 00:47:35,454
Again, we know that,

1261
00:47:37,614 --> 00:47:38,434
other folks

1262
00:47:38,815 --> 00:47:40,195
are doing this already.

1263
00:47:41,099 --> 00:47:41,599
But,

1264
00:47:41,980 --> 00:47:43,599
again, this new web guide

1265
00:47:44,059 --> 00:47:45,920
is a new search experiment.

1266
00:47:47,340 --> 00:47:48,720
I I think they're worried.

1267
00:47:49,260 --> 00:47:51,340
I really am. I think they're worried about

1268
00:47:51,340 --> 00:47:52,800
their search revenue

1269
00:47:53,820 --> 00:47:54,960
going down,

1270
00:47:55,579 --> 00:47:56,079
down,

1271
00:47:56,474 --> 00:47:56,974
down.

1272
00:47:57,275 --> 00:47:59,135
Now the president in a very interesting

1273
00:47:59,914 --> 00:48:03,215
comment said that AI companies can't be expected

1274
00:48:03,275 --> 00:48:06,795
pay for all copyrighted content used in their

1275
00:48:06,795 --> 00:48:07,295
training

1276
00:48:08,075 --> 00:48:10,335
models. Says it's not doable.

1277
00:48:11,090 --> 00:48:13,489
Well, I think lawsuits in progress are going

1278
00:48:13,489 --> 00:48:16,210
to figure out if that's the case or

1279
00:48:16,210 --> 00:48:16,710
not.

1280
00:48:18,849 --> 00:48:20,769
Speaking at the AI summit, he says you

1281
00:48:20,769 --> 00:48:22,550
can't be expected to have a successful

1282
00:48:22,849 --> 00:48:25,170
AI program where every single article book or

1283
00:48:25,170 --> 00:48:28,034
whatever you've studied you're expected to pay for.

1284
00:48:28,034 --> 00:48:30,114
We appreciate that but you can't just do

1285
00:48:30,114 --> 00:48:31,655
that because it's not doable.

1286
00:48:32,195 --> 00:48:33,474
And if you're going to try and do

1287
00:48:33,474 --> 00:48:35,735
that you're not going to have a successful

1288
00:48:36,275 --> 00:48:37,894
program referring to

1289
00:48:38,195 --> 00:48:39,014
an AI

1290
00:48:39,474 --> 00:48:39,974
program.

1291
00:48:42,359 --> 00:48:44,519
Says we can't afford to fall behind the

1292
00:48:44,519 --> 00:48:47,579
Chinese because the Chinese are indexing everything

1293
00:48:48,519 --> 00:48:51,800
and stealing IP and they're definitely not going

1294
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:52,460
to pay

1295
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:53,420
for

1296
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,099
a single thing.

1297
00:48:56,845 --> 00:48:57,505
I agree.

1298
00:48:57,965 --> 00:49:00,224
It that in that regard that the Chinese

1299
00:49:00,285 --> 00:49:02,045
are not going to pay for a single

1300
00:49:02,045 --> 00:49:02,545
thing.

1301
00:49:05,644 --> 00:49:07,644
You already heard my commentary at the beginning

1302
00:49:07,644 --> 00:49:09,724
of the show today talking about my thoughts

1303
00:49:09,724 --> 00:49:10,224
on,

1304
00:49:10,739 --> 00:49:12,199
you know, again, I've given

1305
00:49:12,659 --> 00:49:15,059
all of the AI models permission in this

1306
00:49:15,059 --> 00:49:16,760
show to take this content,

1307
00:49:17,139 --> 00:49:20,199
take my website's content, to analyze it,

1308
00:49:20,820 --> 00:49:23,460
to to be able to reference it back,

1309
00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:25,320
hopefully, to my site with

1310
00:49:25,954 --> 00:49:26,454
citations

1311
00:49:26,914 --> 00:49:27,894
and links,

1312
00:49:29,554 --> 00:49:32,695
because I know that this this transition

1313
00:49:33,875 --> 00:49:36,675
is is going to continue. And I just

1314
00:49:36,675 --> 00:49:38,855
look at the queries that I've been running

1315
00:49:39,449 --> 00:49:40,349
in operator

1316
00:49:40,730 --> 00:49:41,550
on OpenAI

1317
00:49:42,170 --> 00:49:42,670
and

1318
00:49:43,929 --> 00:49:46,329
things are gonna change dramatically, folks, if it

1319
00:49:46,329 --> 00:49:48,109
hasn't already for all of you.

1320
00:49:49,050 --> 00:49:50,829
I was in a meeting today and

1321
00:49:51,289 --> 00:49:53,449
the team members were talking about how they

1322
00:49:53,449 --> 00:49:56,144
were doing certain things within These are very

1323
00:49:56,144 --> 00:49:58,405
very very very very smart people

1324
00:49:58,864 --> 00:50:01,045
doing a specific thing within Google

1325
00:50:01,664 --> 00:50:04,224
and they said yep. I can do about

1326
00:50:04,224 --> 00:50:05,105
25%

1327
00:50:05,105 --> 00:50:07,985
of my job helping me be more efficient

1328
00:50:07,985 --> 00:50:08,485
but

1329
00:50:09,769 --> 00:50:12,829
not everything is understood. The nuances are understood

1330
00:50:12,969 --> 00:50:13,469
and

1331
00:50:14,010 --> 00:50:15,869
that's where someone with a

1332
00:50:17,530 --> 00:50:18,989
with good knowledge

1333
00:50:19,369 --> 00:50:22,010
is gonna understand where the nuances are and

1334
00:50:22,010 --> 00:50:23,550
where something was missed.

1335
00:50:23,929 --> 00:50:24,429
So

1336
00:50:25,404 --> 00:50:26,704
the challenge will

1337
00:50:27,244 --> 00:50:27,984
be is

1338
00:50:28,444 --> 00:50:30,684
because you're gonna have super creative people creating

1339
00:50:30,684 --> 00:50:31,585
super creative,

1340
00:50:34,525 --> 00:50:36,944
basically queries and getting responses

1341
00:50:37,324 --> 00:50:38,224
and super

1342
00:50:38,764 --> 00:50:39,984
awesome interfaces,

1343
00:50:42,340 --> 00:50:44,900
who's if that person's not a quality assurance

1344
00:50:44,900 --> 00:50:47,380
person and not the subject matter expert, how

1345
00:50:47,380 --> 00:50:49,300
are you guaranteed to get the best output?

1346
00:50:49,300 --> 00:50:51,400
But then again, how do you grow people

1347
00:50:52,019 --> 00:50:54,420
to become subject matter experts if all they're

1348
00:50:54,420 --> 00:50:55,480
using is ChatGPT

1349
00:50:55,855 --> 00:50:56,835
to get the answers,

1350
00:50:57,295 --> 00:50:59,454
and they may not know that they missed

1351
00:50:59,454 --> 00:51:00,994
something in a nuance because

1352
00:51:01,295 --> 00:51:03,394
they've not taken the time to study

1353
00:51:04,015 --> 00:51:04,914
and to learn

1354
00:51:06,735 --> 00:51:08,035
what they need to know

1355
00:51:08,670 --> 00:51:09,889
to properly support

1356
00:51:10,429 --> 00:51:11,089
a client.

1357
00:51:12,510 --> 00:51:15,230
AI training is, at this point, not gonna

1358
00:51:15,230 --> 00:51:17,489
get it completely done. But in ten years,

1359
00:51:19,949 --> 00:51:22,289
maybe it'll understand the nuances better.

1360
00:51:22,744 --> 00:51:24,425
You know, it's gonna gonna be too long

1361
00:51:24,425 --> 00:51:24,925
where

1362
00:51:25,625 --> 00:51:26,525
you're literally

1363
00:51:27,304 --> 00:51:29,085
gonna be talking to your computer.

1364
00:51:31,625 --> 00:51:33,625
You you know, many of you probably already

1365
00:51:33,625 --> 00:51:35,005
are. You're gonna say,

1366
00:51:36,579 --> 00:51:37,079
computer.

1367
00:51:37,539 --> 00:51:40,039
It's gonna be too totally Star Trek.

1368
00:51:41,219 --> 00:51:42,519
It really, really is.

1369
00:51:45,139 --> 00:51:46,820
It's just like this query I wrote the

1370
00:51:46,820 --> 00:51:48,119
other day for operator.

1371
00:51:48,534 --> 00:51:50,074
I could have verbally said

1372
00:51:50,534 --> 00:51:51,034
that,

1373
00:51:51,735 --> 00:51:53,434
let it go off and done the operation,

1374
00:51:54,454 --> 00:51:55,974
and then it could have reported back to

1375
00:51:55,974 --> 00:51:57,414
me, would you like to hear the results

1376
00:51:57,414 --> 00:51:58,474
or read the results?

1377
00:52:02,309 --> 00:52:03,130
It feels

1378
00:52:07,429 --> 00:52:08,809
like we're going to

1379
00:52:09,269 --> 00:52:10,329
get to the point

1380
00:52:10,789 --> 00:52:12,789
where the levels of this knowledge and the

1381
00:52:12,789 --> 00:52:15,429
level of agentic AI and these next things

1382
00:52:15,429 --> 00:52:16,329
that are coming.

1383
00:52:18,844 --> 00:52:20,385
Again, if if you are

1384
00:52:21,164 --> 00:52:23,505
close to retirement, you're probably okay.

1385
00:52:24,045 --> 00:52:25,485
But if you are in the middle of

1386
00:52:25,485 --> 00:52:26,304
your career

1387
00:52:27,085 --> 00:52:28,545
and you are not

1388
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,239
embracing and leaning into this and not using

1389
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:33,059
these tools,

1390
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,219
you're gonna wake up without a job.

1391
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:40,340
You really are.

1392
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,460
And, that's that's just a pure fact.

1393
00:52:43,954 --> 00:52:45,494
That's that's what's gonna happen.

1394
00:52:45,875 --> 00:52:47,554
