00:00:02.800 --> 00:00:07.680
<v Speaker 0>Hello. It's October eighteenth, Saturday, and you're listening

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:09.760
<v Speaker 0>to the Geek News Central podcast. This is

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:11.200
<v Speaker 0>Ray speaking. I'm gonna be your I'm gonna

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:13.865
<v Speaker 0>be your co your host tonight. We got

00:00:13.865 --> 00:00:16.025
<v Speaker 0>a couple of cool articles lined up for

00:00:16.025 --> 00:00:18.665
<v Speaker 0>you folks this afternoon, at least afternoon for

00:00:18.665 --> 00:00:19.865
<v Speaker 0>me. I know what time of day you

00:00:19.865 --> 00:00:21.625
<v Speaker 0>guys are tuning in, but thanks for tuning

00:00:21.625 --> 00:00:26.925
<v Speaker 0>in. OpenAI allows mature content for verified users.

00:00:28.529 --> 00:00:30.210
<v Speaker 0>This is gonna be a pretty cool opening

00:00:30.210 --> 00:00:33.250
<v Speaker 0>article. OpenAI is preparing to allow mature or

00:00:33.250 --> 00:00:36.530
<v Speaker 0>adult content access for ChatGVT by verified adult

00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:39.570
<v Speaker 0>users starting December twenty twenty five. This change

00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:41.890
<v Speaker 0>aims to loosen content restrictions for users who

00:00:41.890 --> 00:00:44.894
<v Speaker 0>verify their age, enabling broader flexibility in the

00:00:44.894 --> 00:00:49.074
<v Speaker 0>kinds of conversations and creative works permitted. So

00:00:50.094 --> 00:00:52.335
<v Speaker 0>this kinda sounds interesting. I'm not really sure,

00:00:53.135 --> 00:00:56.114
<v Speaker 0>what your guys' principles on are on mature

00:00:56.175 --> 00:01:02.470
<v Speaker 0>content, especially in generating mature content. But I

00:01:02.470 --> 00:01:06.090
<v Speaker 0>can imagine that not all AI has been

00:01:06.229 --> 00:01:11.670
<v Speaker 0>used to develop, purely good content. Right? And,

00:01:11.670 --> 00:01:14.165
<v Speaker 0>you know, I guess good is arguable here.

00:01:14.165 --> 00:01:17.545
<v Speaker 0>Right? But let's get into the article. OpenAI

00:01:17.685 --> 00:01:20.085
<v Speaker 0>to allow mature content on ChatGPT for adult

00:01:20.085 --> 00:01:24.185
<v Speaker 0>verified users starting December. This one's from Reuters,

00:01:24.245 --> 00:01:27.285
<v Speaker 0>rooters dot com. This was posted on October

00:01:27.285 --> 00:01:30.479
<v Speaker 0>fourteenth. OpenAI will allow mature content for ChatGPT

00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:32.460
<v Speaker 0>users who verify their age on the platform

00:01:32.460 --> 00:01:35.500
<v Speaker 0>starting in December, CEO Sam Altman said, after

00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:37.900
<v Speaker 0>the chatbot was made restrictive for users in

00:01:37.900 --> 00:01:41.020
<v Speaker 0>mental distress. As we roll out age gating

00:01:41.020 --> 00:01:43.340
<v Speaker 0>more fully and as part of our adult

00:01:43.865 --> 00:01:46.505
<v Speaker 0>as part of our treat adult users like

00:01:46.505 --> 00:01:49.385
<v Speaker 0>adults principle, we will allow even more like

00:01:49.385 --> 00:01:52.825
<v Speaker 0>erotica for verified adults, Altman wrote in a

00:01:52.825 --> 00:01:56.505
<v Speaker 0>post on X on Tuesday. Altman said that

00:01:56.505 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 0>OpenAI had made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make

00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 0>sure it was being careful with mental health

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.320
<v Speaker 0>issues, though that had made the chatbot less

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:06.880
<v Speaker 0>useful slash enjoyable to many users who had

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 0>no mental health problems. OpenAI has been able

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 0>to mitigate mental health issues and has new

00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.825
<v Speaker 0>tools, Altman said, adding that it is going

00:02:14.825 --> 00:02:17.865
<v Speaker 0>to safely relax restrictions in most cases. In

00:02:17.865 --> 00:02:20.105
<v Speaker 0>the coming weeks, it'll OpenAI will release a

00:02:20.105 --> 00:02:22.345
<v Speaker 0>version of ChatGPT that will allow people to

00:02:22.345 --> 00:02:24.265
<v Speaker 0>better dictate the tone and personality of the

00:02:24.265 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 0>chatbot, Altman said. If you want your chat

00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.320
<v Speaker 0>g p t to respond in a very

00:02:28.320 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 0>human like way or use a ton of

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.760
<v Speaker 0>emoji or act like a friend, chat g

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:33.440
<v Speaker 0>t chat g p t should do it,

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:35.200
<v Speaker 0>but only if you want it, not because

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 0>we are usage maxing. Oh, wow. Crazy to

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.345
<v Speaker 0>see that term in here, maxing. Earlier on

00:02:44.345 --> 00:02:47.065
<v Speaker 0>Tuesday, Meta unveiled a new system to limit

00:02:47.065 --> 00:02:49.625
<v Speaker 0>what users under eighteen can see on Instagram

00:02:49.625 --> 00:02:52.905
<v Speaker 0>and its generative AI tools using filters inspired

00:02:52.905 --> 00:02:56.630
<v Speaker 0>by PG thirteen movie rating systems. So, this

00:02:56.630 --> 00:02:59.830
<v Speaker 0>is kinda interesting. Definitely moving more control into

00:02:59.830 --> 00:03:01.350
<v Speaker 0>the user's hands. I don't know if you

00:03:01.350 --> 00:03:03.270
<v Speaker 0>guys have ever used chat gbt, but it

00:03:03.270 --> 00:03:06.970
<v Speaker 0>is very, like, tuned to be your friend.

00:03:09.735 --> 00:03:11.415
<v Speaker 0>And sometimes that can feel weird, especially if

00:03:11.415 --> 00:03:15.515
<v Speaker 0>you're, like, trying to understand content and and

00:03:15.655 --> 00:03:20.215
<v Speaker 0>and there's there's emojis everywhere, explaining it to

00:03:20.215 --> 00:03:22.860
<v Speaker 0>you in a way that is a little

00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:25.660
<v Speaker 0>bit too descriptive. So I don't know. Kind

00:03:25.660 --> 00:03:28.060
<v Speaker 0>of interesting. I didn't know that they have

00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:29.740
<v Speaker 0>those types of filters on chat g p

00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:31.180
<v Speaker 0>t to make it so that it was,

00:03:31.180 --> 00:03:36.185
<v Speaker 0>like, it would they like, they were restrictive

00:03:36.185 --> 00:03:37.944
<v Speaker 0>and careful with mental health issues, but it

00:03:37.944 --> 00:03:39.785
<v Speaker 0>makes sense being that, like, I remember last

00:03:39.785 --> 00:03:41.625
<v Speaker 0>year they had announced that one of the

00:03:41.625 --> 00:03:43.905
<v Speaker 0>top usages was for, you know, like, a

00:03:43.905 --> 00:03:47.224
<v Speaker 0>a type of therapy bot almost, which is

00:03:47.224 --> 00:03:51.950
<v Speaker 0>concerning to some degree. But I'm I I

00:03:51.950 --> 00:03:53.230
<v Speaker 0>don't know. I'm not really a mental health

00:03:53.230 --> 00:03:54.910
<v Speaker 0>professional, so I can't really speak much on

00:03:54.910 --> 00:03:58.830
<v Speaker 0>that. But really interesting. Let's take a second

00:03:58.830 --> 00:04:02.190

00:08:27.565 --> 00:08:30.205
<v Speaker 0>Now let's get into the next article. I've

00:08:30.205 --> 00:08:32.685
<v Speaker 0>got a pretty cool one, lined up for

00:08:32.685 --> 00:08:37.350
<v Speaker 0>you folks. This one's gonna be these are

00:08:37.350 --> 00:08:40.550
<v Speaker 0>not the one I was looking for. It's

00:08:40.550 --> 00:08:43.670
<v Speaker 0>gonna be X Real One AR glasses. It's

00:08:43.670 --> 00:08:45.670
<v Speaker 0>gonna be a little review and reality check.

00:08:45.670 --> 00:08:49.315
<v Speaker 0>This is from the Guardian. Kinda cool context

00:08:49.315 --> 00:08:52.375
<v Speaker 0>here. The Xero one are augmented reality glasses

00:08:52.435 --> 00:08:55.154
<v Speaker 0>designed to overlay digital visuals into your real

00:08:55.154 --> 00:08:57.954
<v Speaker 0>world, a virtual monitor floating in front of

00:08:57.954 --> 00:09:01.300
<v Speaker 0>you, or immersive HUD style info. The review

00:09:01.300 --> 00:09:04.180
<v Speaker 0>digs into comfort, display clarity, battery life, and

00:09:04.180 --> 00:09:08.019
<v Speaker 0>real world usability. So, last episode, Chris did

00:09:08.019 --> 00:09:11.699
<v Speaker 0>kinda bring up the Apple Vision Pro, which

00:09:11.699 --> 00:09:13.779
<v Speaker 0>if you guys haven't heard, another one just

00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:16.335
<v Speaker 0>got rolled out with the slew of products

00:09:16.335 --> 00:09:20.815
<v Speaker 0>Apple just rolled out. But, it seems like

00:09:20.815 --> 00:09:22.655
<v Speaker 0>we're gonna be continuing on this trend of

00:09:22.655 --> 00:09:25.135
<v Speaker 0>trying to build, you know, visual a visual

00:09:25.135 --> 00:09:27.535
<v Speaker 0>HUD. We're creeping closer to a world where

00:09:27.535 --> 00:09:32.560
<v Speaker 0>screens don't, have to be flat displays. Productivity,

00:09:32.940 --> 00:09:35.420
<v Speaker 0>gaming, notifications, and stuff, all that could shift

00:09:35.420 --> 00:09:37.020
<v Speaker 0>to your glasses, and and that would change

00:09:37.020 --> 00:09:38.940
<v Speaker 0>how you interact with your devices in general.

00:09:38.940 --> 00:09:41.500
<v Speaker 0>I mean, who knows? You might not if

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:42.940
<v Speaker 0>if you have the glasses, do you even

00:09:42.940 --> 00:09:45.999
<v Speaker 0>need a phone screen anymore? You You know?

00:09:45.999 --> 00:09:48.615
<v Speaker 0>Could you just carry around the device? So

00:09:48.615 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 0>that could be an interesting change. So we'll

00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.175
<v Speaker 0>see kinda how that changes in in the

00:09:54.175 --> 00:09:56.792
<v Speaker 0>future. Will everyone wanna be wearing glasses all

00:09:56.792 --> 00:09:59.408
<v Speaker 0>the time? I don't know. That's hard to

00:09:59.408 --> 00:10:04.150
<v Speaker 0>say as well. But these glasses make economy

00:10:04.150 --> 00:10:06.550
<v Speaker 0>class bearable with their virtual one forty seven

00:10:06.550 --> 00:10:09.510
<v Speaker 0>inch screen. If you have to be stuck

00:10:09.510 --> 00:10:11.190
<v Speaker 0>on a plane without any space to spare,

00:10:11.190 --> 00:10:12.870
<v Speaker 0>you can at least bring your own personal

00:10:12.870 --> 00:10:16.165
<v Speaker 0>movie theater. As tech writer and workaholic, I've

00:10:16.165 --> 00:10:17.605
<v Speaker 0>tried a lot oh, this is written by

00:10:17.845 --> 00:10:18.965
<v Speaker 0>let's see if we can get a name

00:10:18.965 --> 00:10:21.625
<v Speaker 0>before we start. Adam Dudd on The Guardian.

00:10:22.645 --> 00:10:24.565
<v Speaker 0>As a tech writer and workaholic, I've tried

00:10:24.565 --> 00:10:26.405
<v Speaker 0>a lot of different gadgets and techniques to

00:10:26.405 --> 00:10:28.220
<v Speaker 0>get things done on a flight. I don't

00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:30.700
<v Speaker 0>need a Goliath screen or powerful processor, just

00:10:30.700 --> 00:10:32.140
<v Speaker 0>a keyboard and a way to see what

00:10:32.140 --> 00:10:34.220
<v Speaker 0>I'm writing. But as a bigger guy, there's

00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:35.980
<v Speaker 0>simply no space to work on a laptop

00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:39.040
<v Speaker 0>in economy class. Flights have been a nonstarter

00:10:39.260 --> 00:10:41.695
<v Speaker 0>for me. Then I discovered a device that

00:10:41.695 --> 00:10:43.695
<v Speaker 0>absolutely changed the way I fly. The X

00:10:43.695 --> 00:10:46.255
<v Speaker 0>Real ONE AR glasses have literally opened up

00:10:46.255 --> 00:10:47.615
<v Speaker 0>a whole new world for me in the

00:10:47.615 --> 00:10:50.655
<v Speaker 0>sky. On the most basic level, these glasses

00:10:50.655 --> 00:10:52.735
<v Speaker 0>can replace your laptop screen with a virtual

00:10:52.735 --> 00:10:54.550
<v Speaker 0>floating window in front of your eyes. When

00:10:54.550 --> 00:10:56.550
<v Speaker 0>you move your head, the screen stays fixed

00:10:56.550 --> 00:10:58.790
<v Speaker 0>in space, like it's it's like connecting a

00:10:58.790 --> 00:11:01.590
<v Speaker 0>portable monitor to your laptop, but only you

00:11:01.590 --> 00:11:03.350
<v Speaker 0>can only you can see it. Oh, that's

00:11:03.350 --> 00:11:06.070
<v Speaker 0>kinda sick, honestly. Suddenly, you're Tom Cruise and

00:11:06.070 --> 00:11:08.790
<v Speaker 0>minority report, but with fewer hand gestures and

00:11:08.790 --> 00:11:13.455
<v Speaker 0>less fortune telling. You can configure your laptop

00:11:13.455 --> 00:11:16.495
<v Speaker 0>to either mirror your computer display, effectively replacing

00:11:16.495 --> 00:11:18.255
<v Speaker 0>it, or extend it by acting as a

00:11:18.255 --> 00:11:21.375
<v Speaker 0>second screen. On a plane, mirroring is definitely

00:11:21.375 --> 00:11:22.830
<v Speaker 0>the way to go. I can crack my

00:11:22.830 --> 00:11:24.590
<v Speaker 0>laptop open just enough to get my hands

00:11:24.590 --> 00:11:26.430
<v Speaker 0>on the keyboard and use the glasses as

00:11:26.430 --> 00:11:28.910
<v Speaker 0>the sole screen. I'm no longer constrained by

00:11:28.910 --> 00:11:30.430
<v Speaker 0>how far the person in front of me

00:11:30.430 --> 00:11:32.190
<v Speaker 0>decides to lay their seat back. And with

00:11:32.190 --> 00:11:35.150
<v Speaker 0>my laptop screen at minimum brightness, I avoid

00:11:35.150 --> 00:11:38.925
<v Speaker 0>disturbing other passengers at night. No laptop. XReal

00:11:38.925 --> 00:11:41.404
<v Speaker 0>sells a companion device called the XReal Beam

00:11:41.404 --> 00:11:44.525
<v Speaker 0>Pro that can power them instead. It looks

00:11:44.525 --> 00:11:45.805
<v Speaker 0>like a a lot like a phone, and

00:11:45.805 --> 00:11:47.245
<v Speaker 0>you can even use it as one. But

00:11:47.245 --> 00:11:48.685
<v Speaker 0>when you plug in the X Real One

00:11:48.685 --> 00:11:50.700
<v Speaker 0>glasses, the Beam Pro does all the work.

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:52.860
<v Speaker 0>You get a customized three d interface on

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:54.700
<v Speaker 0>Android that allows you to open up two

00:11:54.700 --> 00:11:59.100
<v Speaker 0>apps side by side. That's kinda cool. So

00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:01.740
<v Speaker 0>the X Real one AR glasses are going

00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:04.084
<v Speaker 0>for four ninety nine, four hundred ninety nine

00:12:04.084 --> 00:12:06.904
<v Speaker 0>dollars at on, xreal dot com and Amazon.

00:12:07.204 --> 00:12:09.365
<v Speaker 0>And then they this companion device is going

00:12:09.365 --> 00:12:11.764
<v Speaker 0>for one ninety nine, two hundred bucks on

00:12:11.764 --> 00:12:14.985
<v Speaker 0>both Xreal one and Amazon. And, you know,

00:12:15.550 --> 00:12:17.070
<v Speaker 0>I guess on top of that, you also

00:12:17.070 --> 00:12:19.470
<v Speaker 0>have to have some earbuds, which most of

00:12:19.470 --> 00:12:21.410
<v Speaker 0>us already own, but, you know, it it

00:12:22.670 --> 00:12:24.350
<v Speaker 0>it's trying to become like a set type

00:12:24.350 --> 00:12:25.950
<v Speaker 0>of thing because, you know, a lot of

00:12:25.950 --> 00:12:29.665
<v Speaker 0>this is you need one device to power

00:12:29.665 --> 00:12:31.345
<v Speaker 0>the other device. And, realistically, if you don't

00:12:31.345 --> 00:12:32.945
<v Speaker 0>really wanna use your laptop screen, you could

00:12:32.945 --> 00:12:36.465
<v Speaker 0>even buy one of those, keyboards that, like,

00:12:36.465 --> 00:12:37.985
<v Speaker 0>flip open. Oh, yeah. They have one on

00:12:37.985 --> 00:12:40.225
<v Speaker 0>here too. Yeah. So the proto arc x

00:12:40.225 --> 00:12:42.805
<v Speaker 0>k o one t p folding Bluetooth keyboard

00:12:42.945 --> 00:12:45.149
<v Speaker 0>for, you know okay. Perfect. You have forty

00:12:45.149 --> 00:12:48.350
<v Speaker 0>six bucks. It's pretty reasonable for a on

00:12:48.350 --> 00:12:50.910
<v Speaker 0>the go keyboard, but it folds. So you

00:12:50.910 --> 00:12:52.910
<v Speaker 0>need to pull it out, unfold it, activate

00:12:52.910 --> 00:12:56.475
<v Speaker 0>your device, and and start working. This is

00:12:56.475 --> 00:12:59.835
<v Speaker 0>a pretty cool, development, and I I'm I

00:12:59.835 --> 00:13:01.595
<v Speaker 0>still don't know. Like, you know, when you're

00:13:01.595 --> 00:13:03.835
<v Speaker 0>looking at his little video here, you can

00:13:03.835 --> 00:13:05.915
<v Speaker 0>see that there's still a cable that's kinda,

00:13:05.915 --> 00:13:08.875
<v Speaker 0>like, connected to the computer, so it's still

00:13:08.875 --> 00:13:11.550
<v Speaker 0>being driven like that. I'm looking for the

00:13:11.550 --> 00:13:14.110
<v Speaker 0>day where it's just where they've got it

00:13:14.110 --> 00:13:17.070
<v Speaker 0>all packed into those into the side of

00:13:17.070 --> 00:13:18.990
<v Speaker 0>your glasses, and it it you don't need

00:13:18.990 --> 00:13:21.870
<v Speaker 0>to do anything but put them on. That

00:13:21.870 --> 00:13:25.655
<v Speaker 0>would be the day. But would you wear

00:13:25.655 --> 00:13:28.935
<v Speaker 0>AR glasses daily if, if they replace your

00:13:28.935 --> 00:13:31.815
<v Speaker 0>phone screen? What do you guys think about

00:13:31.815 --> 00:13:33.815
<v Speaker 0>that? Is that, still too sci fi? What

00:13:33.815 --> 00:13:36.455
<v Speaker 0>if we just had, like, circular pad that

00:13:36.455 --> 00:13:37.895
<v Speaker 0>act as, like, a mouse? You could touch

00:13:37.895 --> 00:13:39.269
<v Speaker 0>it and you you could click the screen

00:13:39.269 --> 00:13:41.269
<v Speaker 0>like that instead of reaching up. So it's

00:13:41.269 --> 00:13:44.070
<v Speaker 0>a little more, you know, subtle. I feel

00:13:44.070 --> 00:13:47.509
<v Speaker 0>like that'd be kinda cool, but, we might

00:13:47.509 --> 00:13:49.750
<v Speaker 0>be a little ways away from that. We'll

00:13:49.750 --> 00:13:59.995
<v Speaker 0>see. Alright. Next article I got for you

00:13:59.995 --> 00:14:02.875
<v Speaker 0>guys, this browser fuses Chrome and Comet into

00:14:02.875 --> 00:14:05.355
<v Speaker 0>one, and it's replacing them both for me.

00:14:05.355 --> 00:14:08.930
<v Speaker 0>It's from x dadevelopers dot com. I'm not

00:14:08.930 --> 00:14:10.529
<v Speaker 0>sure if you guys remember, but last episode,

00:14:10.529 --> 00:14:12.850
<v Speaker 0>we talked about the Comet browser, or at

00:14:12.850 --> 00:14:14.690
<v Speaker 0>least last time I hosted and how it's

00:14:14.690 --> 00:14:17.170
<v Speaker 0>free now. So people have already started taking

00:14:17.170 --> 00:14:21.190
<v Speaker 0>that and going further beyond. This is by

00:14:21.705 --> 00:14:24.265
<v Speaker 0>Manur Faisal, published a few days ago, five

00:14:24.265 --> 00:14:27.785
<v Speaker 0>days ago. Agentic browsers are the latest trend

00:14:27.785 --> 00:14:29.945
<v Speaker 0>in the AI world, and, honestly, I'm all

00:14:29.945 --> 00:14:32.185
<v Speaker 0>for it. I've never been a fan of

00:14:32.185 --> 00:14:34.825
<v Speaker 0>companies shoehorning AI into every possible feature, but

00:14:34.825 --> 00:14:36.500
<v Speaker 0>my stance is simple. If a feature is

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:39.140
<v Speaker 0>genuinely useful and actually makes a difference, I'm

00:14:39.140 --> 00:14:41.620
<v Speaker 0>going to use it. Fair enough. Though I've

00:14:41.620 --> 00:14:43.540
<v Speaker 0>tested my fair share of AI browsers and

00:14:43.540 --> 00:14:45.880
<v Speaker 0>have been using Comet as my primary browser,

00:14:46.260 --> 00:14:48.660
<v Speaker 0>the very first one I tried was Opera's

00:14:48.660 --> 00:14:51.835
<v Speaker 0>Neon. Back when I first tried it, it

00:14:51.835 --> 00:14:53.595
<v Speaker 0>was a concept browser, and I was lucky

00:14:53.595 --> 00:14:56.075
<v Speaker 0>enough to get the developer build to go

00:14:56.075 --> 00:14:58.315
<v Speaker 0>hands on with it. From the moment I

00:14:58.315 --> 00:15:01.035
<v Speaker 0>tried it, I was impressed. However, since Neon

00:15:01.035 --> 00:15:03.115
<v Speaker 0>was still in developer build, I really couldn't

00:15:03.115 --> 00:15:06.040
<v Speaker 0>make it my daily driver. A few days

00:15:06.040 --> 00:15:09.400
<v Speaker 0>ago, Opera finally launched Neon officially. Though there's

00:15:09.400 --> 00:15:11.080
<v Speaker 0>still a wait list you need to join

00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.720
<v Speaker 0>to get access, Opera has beaten begun inviting

00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.400
<v Speaker 0>its first batch of users, and I was

00:15:15.400 --> 00:15:17.574
<v Speaker 0>lucky enough to become be among them. I've

00:15:17.574 --> 00:15:19.255
<v Speaker 0>been using it ever since, and it genuinely

00:15:19.255 --> 00:15:22.235
<v Speaker 0>feels like Chrome and Comet fused into one.

00:15:23.175 --> 00:15:26.074
<v Speaker 0>Okay. Now I haven't used Comet Browser yet.

00:15:27.095 --> 00:15:28.855
<v Speaker 0>I definitely brought it to the constraints of

00:15:28.855 --> 00:15:31.029
<v Speaker 0>my device, but I I I don't I

00:15:31.029 --> 00:15:32.790
<v Speaker 0>mean, I could definitely try running it on

00:15:32.790 --> 00:15:35.510
<v Speaker 0>this guy, but I'm not I just I

00:15:35.510 --> 00:15:38.950
<v Speaker 0>don't I haven't it's hard to say anything

00:15:38.950 --> 00:15:40.310
<v Speaker 0>bad about it because I haven't tried it,

00:15:40.310 --> 00:15:41.910
<v Speaker 0>so I I don't see the benefit yet.

00:15:41.910 --> 00:15:44.735
<v Speaker 0>Right? But based on some of these images,

00:15:44.735 --> 00:15:46.495
<v Speaker 0>it's pretty cool, just having a lot of

00:15:46.495 --> 00:15:52.654
<v Speaker 0>this built in. The AI basically replaces your

00:15:52.654 --> 00:15:55.375
<v Speaker 0>search and your and your your daily driver

00:15:55.375 --> 00:15:57.810
<v Speaker 0>in terms of, like, to do lists and,

00:15:58.210 --> 00:15:59.890
<v Speaker 0>things to make or if you wanna chat.

00:15:59.890 --> 00:16:03.010
<v Speaker 0>So it's kinda interesting. By now, you probably

00:16:03.010 --> 00:16:05.830
<v Speaker 0>understood that Neon is Opera's own Agentic browser.

00:16:06.050 --> 00:16:08.370
<v Speaker 0>Though Opera formally announced this browser towards the

00:16:08.370 --> 00:16:10.235
<v Speaker 0>end of May twenty twenty five, the company

00:16:10.235 --> 00:16:12.394
<v Speaker 0>has been working on Agentic AI for the

00:16:12.394 --> 00:16:15.454
<v Speaker 0>past two years. They first announced Browser Operator,

00:16:15.595 --> 00:16:17.514
<v Speaker 0>which was an AI agent that could browse

00:16:17.514 --> 00:16:20.634
<v Speaker 0>and actually do things for you. Think ordering

00:16:20.634 --> 00:16:22.714
<v Speaker 0>a pair of socks for you or finding

00:16:22.714 --> 00:16:24.714
<v Speaker 0>the cheapest ticket to Hawaii and booking it

00:16:24.714 --> 00:16:26.750
<v Speaker 0>for you. The company then decided to merge

00:16:26.750 --> 00:16:29.089
<v Speaker 0>this idea into a full fledged browser experience,

00:16:29.230 --> 00:16:32.269
<v Speaker 0>and that's how Neon was born. Opera introduced

00:16:32.269 --> 00:16:35.949
<v Speaker 0>Neon with the hope of reimagining what a

00:16:35.949 --> 00:16:38.529
<v Speaker 0>browser can be in the age of intelligence

00:16:38.910 --> 00:16:44.825
<v Speaker 0>or intelligence agents. The end goal here wasn't

00:16:44.825 --> 00:16:46.905
<v Speaker 0>a browser that just had AI tools to

00:16:46.905 --> 00:16:49.065
<v Speaker 0>summarize a web page you're browsing or a

00:16:49.065 --> 00:16:51.325
<v Speaker 0>built in chat area where you could quickly

00:16:51.385 --> 00:16:53.965
<v Speaker 0>ask a word a ask a word's definition.

00:16:54.839 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 0>Instead, Neon is meant to act as a

00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.639
<v Speaker 0>true assistant and is built with Agentic AI

00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.199
<v Speaker 0>at its core, similar to when the browser

00:17:02.199 --> 00:17:04.919
<v Speaker 0>was first launched. Neon's core functionality comes down

00:17:04.919 --> 00:17:10.105
<v Speaker 0>to three use cases, chat, do, make. Okay.

00:17:10.105 --> 00:17:14.125
<v Speaker 0>So, looks like Neon's actually a premium subscription

00:17:14.265 --> 00:17:16.505
<v Speaker 0>product, so it's gonna be retailing for twenty

00:17:16.505 --> 00:17:19.865
<v Speaker 0>dollars a month. You can't subscribe just yet

00:17:19.865 --> 00:17:21.705
<v Speaker 0>even if you wanted to. This is all

00:17:21.705 --> 00:17:26.310
<v Speaker 0>still being launched. There's definitely more to the

00:17:26.310 --> 00:17:28.070
<v Speaker 0>article here, but I don't know. What do

00:17:28.070 --> 00:17:30.230
<v Speaker 0>you guys think about the Adjantic browsers? I

00:17:30.230 --> 00:17:32.630
<v Speaker 0>don't think I'm not a huge fan of

00:17:32.630 --> 00:17:38.875
<v Speaker 0>Opera. I I don't know. I I know

00:17:38.875 --> 00:17:40.075
<v Speaker 0>they've been in the game for a long

00:17:40.075 --> 00:17:42.555
<v Speaker 0>time in terms of, like, browsers and whatnot,

00:17:42.555 --> 00:17:45.035
<v Speaker 0>but I I just haven't really used it

00:17:45.035 --> 00:17:46.795
<v Speaker 0>that much to become a fan. So I'm

00:17:46.795 --> 00:17:48.555
<v Speaker 0>not really sure how I feel about their

00:17:48.555 --> 00:17:50.795
<v Speaker 0>products or their devices. Let me know what

00:17:50.795 --> 00:17:53.660
<v Speaker 0>you guys think. Who's used the Opera browser

00:17:53.660 --> 00:17:55.900
<v Speaker 0>before? Who who runs that as their main?

00:17:55.900 --> 00:17:57.900
<v Speaker 0>And tell me why. I'd love to hear

00:17:57.900 --> 00:18:02.860
<v Speaker 0>your feedback. Let's move on. I got this

00:18:02.860 --> 00:18:08.985
<v Speaker 0>really cool one. It'll load. Holographic TV is

00:18:08.985 --> 00:18:13.465
<v Speaker 0>here. Award winning Portal Graph instantly turns any

00:18:13.465 --> 00:18:17.465
<v Speaker 0>screen into a three d VR display. Now

00:18:17.465 --> 00:18:21.100
<v Speaker 0>this is cool. BelieveVision has unveiled its Portal

00:18:21.100 --> 00:18:25.340
<v Speaker 0>Graph headset free immersive display technology. Okay. Let's

00:18:25.340 --> 00:18:29.600
<v Speaker 0>say that again. Portal Graph. It's Portal Graph

00:18:29.820 --> 00:18:34.275
<v Speaker 0>headset free immersive display technology. Okay. Which the

00:18:34.275 --> 00:18:36.435
<v Speaker 0>company says it can instantly turn any screen

00:18:36.435 --> 00:18:39.715
<v Speaker 0>into an interactive three d VR display. Unlike

00:18:39.715 --> 00:18:41.875
<v Speaker 0>VR headsets that isolate the user from their

00:18:41.875 --> 00:18:44.835
<v Speaker 0>immediate surroundings, PortoGraph operates in the real world,

00:18:44.835 --> 00:18:47.155
<v Speaker 0>allowing the viewer to interact simultaneously with the

00:18:47.155 --> 00:18:50.110
<v Speaker 0>display, the environment, and even other viewers. The

00:18:50.110 --> 00:18:53.309
<v Speaker 0>award winning virtual reality display company behind this

00:18:53.309 --> 00:18:56.429
<v Speaker 0>potential revolutionary technology said that they are already

00:18:56.429 --> 00:18:59.149
<v Speaker 0>working with the entertainment and gaming industry to

00:18:59.149 --> 00:19:02.669
<v Speaker 0>create customized portal graph content. This includes developing

00:19:02.669 --> 00:19:05.515
<v Speaker 0>and testing new tools, cameras, and software that

00:19:05.515 --> 00:19:07.995
<v Speaker 0>enable users to watch movies, concerts, and sporting

00:19:07.995 --> 00:19:11.035
<v Speaker 0>events in a full immersive VR format without

00:19:11.035 --> 00:19:14.335
<v Speaker 0>isolating the viewer from their immediate environment. Okay.

00:19:14.395 --> 00:19:18.575
<v Speaker 0>So we're continuing on this trend of changing

00:19:18.715 --> 00:19:24.850
<v Speaker 0>reality and how we interact with our, you

00:19:24.850 --> 00:19:29.730
<v Speaker 0>know, media in general. Autograph blends the magic

00:19:29.730 --> 00:19:31.570
<v Speaker 0>of three d world with your with the

00:19:31.570 --> 00:19:33.730
<v Speaker 0>comfort of your living room, said Joe Wallace,

00:19:33.730 --> 00:19:36.415
<v Speaker 0>founder of Believe Vision. By removing the headset,

00:19:36.415 --> 00:19:39.295
<v Speaker 0>we're making immersive technology accessible to everyone, not

00:19:39.295 --> 00:19:41.955
<v Speaker 0>just gamers. In an email to the debrief,

00:19:42.335 --> 00:19:45.855
<v Speaker 0>BelieveVision's chief product officer Leon Sievers noted that

00:19:45.855 --> 00:19:48.030
<v Speaker 0>one of the benefits of photographs is that

00:19:48.030 --> 00:19:50.910
<v Speaker 0>consumers don't need to purchase specialized hardware or

00:19:50.910 --> 00:19:53.790
<v Speaker 0>equipment. Instead, it is designed to integrate with

00:19:53.790 --> 00:19:56.670
<v Speaker 0>conventional displays, such as a projector, an LED

00:19:56.670 --> 00:19:59.230
<v Speaker 0>TV, or even a standard computer monitor. And

00:19:59.230 --> 00:20:00.670
<v Speaker 0>there's a little image here, and, yeah, it

00:20:00.670 --> 00:20:04.174
<v Speaker 0>it does look kind of like three d,

00:20:06.075 --> 00:20:08.875
<v Speaker 0>which is crazy. It it looks like they're

00:20:08.875 --> 00:20:11.615
<v Speaker 0>standing, like, on a platform in the screen.

00:20:12.395 --> 00:20:15.035
<v Speaker 0>So that's kinda cool. By processing the visual

00:20:15.035 --> 00:20:17.100
<v Speaker 0>data in a new way, PortalGraph can deliver

00:20:17.100 --> 00:20:20.240
<v Speaker 0>a multidimensional effect on devices people already own,

00:20:20.540 --> 00:20:22.780
<v Speaker 0>Sievers explained. This means that the barrier to

00:20:22.780 --> 00:20:24.940
<v Speaker 0>entry is extremely low, and users can begin

00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:27.980
<v Speaker 0>experiencing headset free immersive media without any major

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:31.085
<v Speaker 0>investment in new equipment. Portal graph represents the

00:20:31.085 --> 00:20:33.585
<v Speaker 0>next step in immersive media, making it simple,

00:20:33.805 --> 00:20:36.385
<v Speaker 0>inclusive, and available to anyone with a screen.

00:20:37.645 --> 00:20:40.125
<v Speaker 0>The Believe Vision team suggests several use cases

00:20:40.125 --> 00:20:43.325
<v Speaker 0>for their technology by turning by turning stages

00:20:43.325 --> 00:20:46.700
<v Speaker 0>into immersive three d worlds visible from every

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:52.220
<v Speaker 0>seat. This is kinda cool. Can I so

00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:59.645
<v Speaker 0>how does it work? Yeah. So they're already

00:20:59.645 --> 00:21:01.885
<v Speaker 0>in the early stages of introducing it to

00:21:01.885 --> 00:21:04.525
<v Speaker 0>the market. But when asked about the future

00:21:04.525 --> 00:21:06.845
<v Speaker 0>of the company's technology, including plans to improve

00:21:06.845 --> 00:21:09.245
<v Speaker 0>the portal graph experience, Sievers told the debrief

00:21:09.245 --> 00:21:11.940
<v Speaker 0>that the competitors are already making effort in

00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:14.659
<v Speaker 0>efforts to introduce new entertainment options for VR

00:21:14.659 --> 00:21:17.240
<v Speaker 0>headsets. However, he also noted that the technology's

00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:20.019
<v Speaker 0>bulky nature has limited ad up adoption. And,

00:21:20.019 --> 00:21:22.019
<v Speaker 0>yeah, we've talked about this with like, especially

00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:24.340
<v Speaker 0>even with the previous glasses I just brought

00:21:24.340 --> 00:21:26.845
<v Speaker 0>up. They they are much more slick than

00:21:26.845 --> 00:21:28.525
<v Speaker 0>the Apple Vision Pro, but at the same

00:21:28.525 --> 00:21:31.965
<v Speaker 0>time, they're they're still bulky on the ears.

00:21:31.965 --> 00:21:34.045
<v Speaker 0>They still have a wire connected to them

00:21:34.045 --> 00:21:36.685
<v Speaker 0>to to connect to your computer. So it's

00:21:36.685 --> 00:21:40.650
<v Speaker 0>still not the fully blended experience that most

00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:44.010
<v Speaker 0>people want, you know, that full comfort. By

00:21:44.010 --> 00:21:46.810
<v Speaker 0>shifting the immersive experience onto everyday screens, we're

00:21:46.810 --> 00:21:48.730
<v Speaker 0>removing one of the biggest obstacles that has

00:21:48.730 --> 00:21:51.955
<v Speaker 0>limited mainstream adoption of VR technology, the company

00:21:51.955 --> 00:21:55.634
<v Speaker 0>executive explained. Moving forward, the BelieveVision is already

00:21:55.634 --> 00:21:58.294
<v Speaker 0>working with content creators to offer specialized programming

00:21:58.355 --> 00:22:00.595
<v Speaker 0>that offers an even more immersive experience than

00:22:00.595 --> 00:22:04.115
<v Speaker 0>currently available. Severs told the debrief the company

00:22:04.115 --> 00:22:06.514
<v Speaker 0>is also engaging directly with content creators and

00:22:06.514 --> 00:22:08.700
<v Speaker 0>empowering them to experiment with the platform and

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:11.340
<v Speaker 0>build a library of experiences. And and and

00:22:11.340 --> 00:22:13.420
<v Speaker 0>just think about the applications of this. I

00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:15.520
<v Speaker 0>mean, it says it works with a projector.

00:22:15.660 --> 00:22:19.660
<v Speaker 0>I mean, you could play even basketball games

00:22:19.660 --> 00:22:20.940
<v Speaker 0>or some like, if you had a a

00:22:20.940 --> 00:22:25.445
<v Speaker 0>court, anywhere, you you could put the the

00:22:25.445 --> 00:22:29.525
<v Speaker 0>basketball game up with a with with, like,

00:22:29.525 --> 00:22:34.164
<v Speaker 0>a a projector, like, as a hologram. That

00:22:34.164 --> 00:22:38.910
<v Speaker 0>would be sick. Although the system works with

00:22:38.910 --> 00:22:40.830
<v Speaker 0>current tech, the company executive says they are

00:22:40.830 --> 00:22:43.710
<v Speaker 0>also actively exploring partnerships with content creators back

00:22:44.030 --> 00:22:46.430
<v Speaker 0>broadcasters and production companies who are experimenting with

00:22:46.430 --> 00:22:48.670
<v Speaker 0>advanced camera systems that could further improve the

00:22:48.670 --> 00:22:51.855
<v Speaker 0>technology's ability to adapt to specially design custom

00:22:52.215 --> 00:22:55.015
<v Speaker 0>customized content. I can definitely see a world

00:22:55.015 --> 00:22:58.375
<v Speaker 0>where, you know, yeah, if people host events

00:22:58.375 --> 00:23:01.495
<v Speaker 0>where a basketball game or football game, like

00:23:01.495 --> 00:23:04.375
<v Speaker 0>a like a professional one is is played

00:23:04.375 --> 00:23:06.960
<v Speaker 0>live at on a real field for people

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.919
<v Speaker 0>to watch. I I can definitely see that.

00:23:09.919 --> 00:23:12.799
<v Speaker 0>That's kinda terrifying because, also, what would that

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.520
<v Speaker 0>entail in terms of, like, cost to stream

00:23:15.520 --> 00:23:18.640
<v Speaker 0>that, like, digital rights and whatnot? So that

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:26.794
<v Speaker 0>that could also be, really interesting. How do

00:23:26.794 --> 00:23:29.675
<v Speaker 0>you put it, pushback that we might see

00:23:29.675 --> 00:23:31.595
<v Speaker 0>with this in the future where people try

00:23:31.595 --> 00:23:34.555
<v Speaker 0>to stream live content, in a space for

00:23:34.555 --> 00:23:37.610
<v Speaker 0>people to enjoy, and, you know, the the

00:23:37.610 --> 00:23:40.010
<v Speaker 0>server of that content doesn't want them to

00:23:40.010 --> 00:23:42.330
<v Speaker 0>do that, maybe because it's taking away from

00:23:42.330 --> 00:23:44.330
<v Speaker 0>their own viewership. So it might be interesting

00:23:44.330 --> 00:23:48.029
<v Speaker 0>to see how that, will change going forward.

00:23:50.995 --> 00:23:54.274
<v Speaker 0>But let's move on. NASA is planning to

00:23:54.274 --> 00:23:56.595
<v Speaker 0>retire the International Space Stations in twenty or

00:23:56.595 --> 00:23:59.395
<v Speaker 0>the International Space Station in twenty thirty, paving

00:23:59.395 --> 00:24:01.794
<v Speaker 0>the way for commercially run space stations to

00:24:01.794 --> 00:24:04.180
<v Speaker 0>pick up the slack. This signals a transition

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:10.400
<v Speaker 0>from government led to privatized orbital infrastructure. Interesting.

00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:16.015
<v Speaker 0>This is from the conversation. NASA to retire

00:24:16.015 --> 00:24:18.975
<v Speaker 0>ISS in twenty thirty commercial stations take over.

00:24:18.975 --> 00:24:20.495
<v Speaker 0>What does that mean? So let's get into

00:24:20.495 --> 00:24:23.055
<v Speaker 0>the article and find out. For twenty four

00:24:23.055 --> 00:24:25.135
<v Speaker 0>hours a day, seven days a week since

00:24:25.135 --> 00:24:28.495
<v Speaker 0>November two thousand, NASA and its international partners

00:24:28.495 --> 00:24:31.130
<v Speaker 0>have sustained a continuous human presence in low

00:24:31.130 --> 00:24:35.370
<v Speaker 0>Earth orbit, including at least one American, a

00:24:35.370 --> 00:24:38.030
<v Speaker 0>streak that will soon reach twenty five years.

00:24:38.970 --> 00:24:41.130
<v Speaker 0>When viewed in the history of spaceflight, the

00:24:41.130 --> 00:24:43.470
<v Speaker 0>International Space Station is perhaps one of humanity's

00:24:43.530 --> 00:24:47.115
<v Speaker 0>most amazing accomplishments and a a shining example

00:24:47.175 --> 00:24:50.475
<v Speaker 0>of cooperation in space among United States, Europe,

00:24:50.615 --> 00:24:54.135
<v Speaker 0>Canada, Japan, Russia. Well, all good things must

00:24:54.135 --> 00:24:57.380
<v Speaker 0>come to an end. In twenty thirty, the

00:24:57.380 --> 00:25:00.340
<v Speaker 0>International Space Station will be deorbited, driven into

00:25:00.340 --> 00:25:03.220
<v Speaker 0>a remote area of the Pacific Ocean. I'm

00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:05.700
<v Speaker 0>an aerospace engineer who has helped build a

00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:07.960
<v Speaker 0>range of hardware and experiments for the ISS.

00:25:08.375 --> 00:25:09.975
<v Speaker 0>As a member of the spaceflight community for

00:25:09.975 --> 00:25:12.215
<v Speaker 0>over thirty years and seventeen and a seventeen

00:25:12.215 --> 00:25:14.295
<v Speaker 0>year member of the NASA community, it would

00:25:14.295 --> 00:25:15.815
<v Speaker 0>be hard for me to see the ISS

00:25:15.815 --> 00:25:18.295
<v Speaker 0>come to an end. Since the first pieces

00:25:18.295 --> 00:25:20.295
<v Speaker 0>of the International Space Station were launched in

00:25:20.295 --> 00:25:22.169
<v Speaker 0>nineteen ninety eight, the station has become a

00:25:22.169 --> 00:25:25.770
<v Speaker 0>home to significant research accomplish accomplishments across domains

00:25:25.770 --> 00:25:30.029
<v Speaker 0>that include material science, biotechnology, astronomy, and astrophysics,

00:25:30.649 --> 00:25:34.935
<v Speaker 0>earth science, combustion, and more. Astronauts performing research

00:25:34.935 --> 00:25:37.575
<v Speaker 0>inside the space station and payload experiments attached

00:25:37.575 --> 00:25:40.795
<v Speaker 0>to the station's exterior have generated many publications

00:25:40.855 --> 00:25:43.175
<v Speaker 0>in peer reviewed science journals. Some of them

00:25:43.175 --> 00:25:45.940
<v Speaker 0>have advanced our understanding of thunderstorms, but to

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:48.900
<v Speaker 0>improvements in crystallization process of key cancer fighting

00:25:48.900 --> 00:25:51.940
<v Speaker 0>drugs, detailed how to grow artificial retinas in

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:54.900
<v Speaker 0>space, explored the process of ultra pure optical

00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:57.700
<v Speaker 0>fibers, and explained how to sequence DNA in

00:25:57.700 --> 00:26:01.625
<v Speaker 0>orbit. In total, more than four thousand experiments

00:26:01.625 --> 00:26:03.785
<v Speaker 0>have been conducted aboard the ISS resulting in

00:26:03.785 --> 00:26:07.065
<v Speaker 0>more than forty four hundred research publications dedicated

00:26:07.065 --> 00:26:09.545
<v Speaker 0>to advancing and improving life on Earth and

00:26:09.545 --> 00:26:12.125
<v Speaker 0>helping forge a path for future space exploration

00:26:12.185 --> 00:26:15.279
<v Speaker 0>activities. The ISS has proven the value of

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:17.760
<v Speaker 0>conduct conducting research in the unique environment of

00:26:17.760 --> 00:26:20.159
<v Speaker 0>space flight, which is very low gravity, a

00:26:20.159 --> 00:26:23.600
<v Speaker 0>vacuum, extreme temperature cycles, and radiation to advance

00:26:23.600 --> 00:26:26.500
<v Speaker 0>scientists' understanding of a wide range of important

00:26:26.639 --> 00:26:30.195
<v Speaker 0>physical, chemical, and biological processes. It's kinda interesting.

00:26:30.255 --> 00:26:32.175
<v Speaker 0>I always wondered how they, like, came up

00:26:32.175 --> 00:26:35.135
<v Speaker 0>with, oh, we should research this. Like, who

00:26:35.135 --> 00:26:39.055
<v Speaker 0>is thinking to themselves, like, how do we

00:26:39.055 --> 00:26:43.260
<v Speaker 0>sequence DNA in orbit? And why would you

00:26:43.260 --> 00:26:46.160
<v Speaker 0>think yourself it's, like, different from sequencing DNA,

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:48.700
<v Speaker 0>like, in atmosphere? I mean, definitely now that

00:26:48.700 --> 00:26:50.700
<v Speaker 0>I'm saying it, yes. I yeah. That that

00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:54.140
<v Speaker 0>makes sense, especially with the environment being so

00:26:54.140 --> 00:26:56.405
<v Speaker 0>different, but still, you know, how did how

00:26:56.405 --> 00:26:58.245
<v Speaker 0>did we come up with these ideas? How

00:26:58.245 --> 00:26:59.765
<v Speaker 0>did we come up with these experiments? You

00:26:59.765 --> 00:27:01.205
<v Speaker 0>know? What was the driver? I'd love to

00:27:01.205 --> 00:27:05.044
<v Speaker 0>hear about that. But let's move on to

00:27:05.044 --> 00:27:06.485
<v Speaker 0>the next part of the article, keeping a

00:27:06.485 --> 00:27:08.980
<v Speaker 0>presence in orbit. But in in the wake

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:11.960
<v Speaker 0>of Station's work retirement, NASA and its international

00:27:12.179 --> 00:27:14.660
<v Speaker 0>partners are not abandoning their outpost in low

00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:17.640
<v Speaker 0>Earth orbit. Instead, they are looking for alternatives

00:27:17.780 --> 00:27:20.100
<v Speaker 0>to continue to take advantage of low Earth

00:27:20.100 --> 00:27:22.995
<v Speaker 0>orbit's promise as a unique research laboratory and

00:27:22.995 --> 00:27:25.235
<v Speaker 0>to extend the continuous twenty five year human

00:27:25.235 --> 00:27:27.955
<v Speaker 0>presence some two hundred fifty miles above the

00:27:27.955 --> 00:27:32.355
<v Speaker 0>Earth's surface or four hundred two kilometers. In

00:27:32.355 --> 00:27:35.529
<v Speaker 0>December twenty twenty one, NASA announced three awards

00:27:35.529 --> 00:27:38.490
<v Speaker 0>to help develop privately owned commercial operated space

00:27:38.490 --> 00:27:41.370
<v Speaker 0>stations in low earth orbit. For years, NASA

00:27:41.370 --> 00:27:44.250
<v Speaker 0>has successfully sent supplies to International Space Station

00:27:44.250 --> 00:27:47.375
<v Speaker 0>using commercial partners and the agency recently began

00:27:47.375 --> 00:27:50.335
<v Speaker 0>similar business arrangements with SpaceX and Boeing for

00:27:50.335 --> 00:27:52.995
<v Speaker 0>transporting crews aboard the Dragon and the Starliner

00:27:53.135 --> 00:27:56.495
<v Speaker 0>spacecraft respectively. Based on the success of these

00:27:56.495 --> 00:27:59.715
<v Speaker 0>programs, NASA invested more than four hundred million

00:27:59.855 --> 00:28:02.660
<v Speaker 0>to stimulate the development of commercial space stations

00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:04.740
<v Speaker 0>and hopefully launch and activate them before the

00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:09.620
<v Speaker 0>ISS is decommissioned. In September twenty twenty five,

00:28:09.620 --> 00:28:12.100
<v Speaker 0>NASA NASA issued a draft announcement for phase

00:28:12.100 --> 00:28:15.585
<v Speaker 0>two partnership proposals for commercial space stations. Companies

00:28:15.585 --> 00:28:17.745
<v Speaker 0>that are selected will receive funding to support

00:28:17.745 --> 00:28:20.465
<v Speaker 0>critical design reviews and demonstrate stations with four

00:28:20.465 --> 00:28:22.485
<v Speaker 0>people in orbit for at least thirty days.

00:28:22.705 --> 00:28:24.785
<v Speaker 0>NASA will then move forward with formal design

00:28:24.785 --> 00:28:28.145
<v Speaker 0>acceptance and certification to ensure that these stations

00:28:28.145 --> 00:28:31.409
<v Speaker 0>meet NASA's stringent safety requirements. The outcome will

00:28:31.409 --> 00:28:33.970
<v Speaker 0>allow NASA to purchase missions and other services

00:28:33.970 --> 00:28:36.529
<v Speaker 0>aboard these stations on a commercial basis, similar

00:28:36.529 --> 00:28:38.210
<v Speaker 0>to how NASA gets cargo and crew to

00:28:38.210 --> 00:28:40.210
<v Speaker 0>the ISS today. Okay. So they were commissioning

00:28:40.210 --> 00:28:41.570
<v Speaker 0>the people up there to do the research

00:28:41.570 --> 00:28:43.090
<v Speaker 0>for these things. And maybe they were selecting

00:28:43.090 --> 00:28:44.929
<v Speaker 0>the team specifically to do these types of

00:28:44.929 --> 00:28:49.845
<v Speaker 0>research. So now they'll have privatized companies that

00:28:49.845 --> 00:28:56.485
<v Speaker 0>have their own commissioned space stations, and NASA

00:28:56.485 --> 00:28:59.225
<v Speaker 0>will commission them to do research on stuff.

00:28:59.685 --> 00:29:02.530
<v Speaker 0>That could be kinda cool. While these stations

00:29:02.530 --> 00:29:04.850
<v Speaker 0>are being built, Chinese astronauts will continue to

00:29:04.850 --> 00:29:07.570
<v Speaker 0>live and work aboard their Tiangong Space Station,

00:29:07.570 --> 00:29:10.870
<v Speaker 0>a three person, permanently crewed facility orbiting approximately

00:29:11.730 --> 00:29:13.650
<v Speaker 0>two hundred fifty miles or four hundred kilometers

00:29:13.650 --> 00:29:16.825
<v Speaker 0>above Earth's surface. Consequently, if the ISS's occupied

00:29:16.825 --> 00:29:18.985
<v Speaker 0>treaty comes to an end, China and Tiangong

00:29:18.985 --> 00:29:21.625
<v Speaker 0>will take over as the longest continually inhabited

00:29:21.625 --> 00:29:25.145
<v Speaker 0>space station in operation. It's been occupied for

00:29:25.145 --> 00:29:30.029
<v Speaker 0>approximately four years and counting. In the meantime,

00:29:30.029 --> 00:29:32.190
<v Speaker 0>enjoy the view. It will be several years

00:29:32.190 --> 00:29:34.270
<v Speaker 0>before any of these new commercial space stations

00:29:34.270 --> 00:29:36.750
<v Speaker 0>circle the Earth around at around seventeen thousand

00:29:36.750 --> 00:29:38.990
<v Speaker 0>five hundred miles per hour and several years

00:29:38.990 --> 00:29:41.470
<v Speaker 0>before the ISS is deorbited in twenty thirty.

00:29:41.470 --> 00:29:42.935
<v Speaker 0>So So while you have a chance, take

00:29:42.935 --> 00:29:44.775
<v Speaker 0>a look up and enjoy the view. On

00:29:44.775 --> 00:29:46.615
<v Speaker 0>most nights when the ISS flies over, it

00:29:46.615 --> 00:29:49.895
<v Speaker 0>is simply magnificent. Brilliant blue white point of

00:29:49.895 --> 00:29:52.295
<v Speaker 0>light, usually the brightest object in the sky

00:29:52.295 --> 00:29:55.275
<v Speaker 0>silently executing a graceful arc across the sky.

00:29:55.630 --> 00:29:58.030
<v Speaker 0>Our ancestors could hardly have imagined that one

00:29:58.030 --> 00:29:59.549
<v Speaker 0>day, one of the brightest objects in the

00:29:59.549 --> 00:30:01.230
<v Speaker 0>night sky would have been conceived by the

00:30:01.230 --> 00:30:04.669
<v Speaker 0>human mind and built by human hands. Cool

00:30:04.669 --> 00:30:09.345
<v Speaker 0>cool article by the conversation. You know, like,

00:30:09.345 --> 00:30:10.545
<v Speaker 0>that it was a really good way to

00:30:10.545 --> 00:30:12.405
<v Speaker 0>put it there at the end with the

00:30:13.105 --> 00:30:14.625
<v Speaker 0>look up at the sky now because I

00:30:14.625 --> 00:30:16.225
<v Speaker 0>I know we've talked about this before on

00:30:16.225 --> 00:30:19.185
<v Speaker 0>the show. The light pollution that is gonna

00:30:19.185 --> 00:30:23.280
<v Speaker 0>come from these systems being up there is

00:30:23.280 --> 00:30:28.480
<v Speaker 0>gonna be interesting. So I guess we'll we'll

00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:30.820
<v Speaker 0>kinda see how that changes in the next

00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.120
<v Speaker 0>five to ten years, as they start to

00:30:33.120 --> 00:30:38.185
<v Speaker 0>commission new space stations, you know, privately owned

00:30:38.185 --> 00:30:42.105
<v Speaker 0>space stations. It's kinda cool. Alright. I got

00:30:42.105 --> 00:30:44.685
<v Speaker 0>one final article for you folks tonight. YouTube's

00:30:44.825 --> 00:30:48.345
<v Speaker 0>second chance policy for banned creators by Ars

00:30:48.345 --> 00:30:51.640
<v Speaker 0>Technica. YouTube is rolling out a pathway for

00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:53.640
<v Speaker 0>creators who have been banned, giving them a

00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:57.480
<v Speaker 0>second chance under stricter rules or probation. The

00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:01.260
<v Speaker 0>details include review mechanisms, appeals, and reinstatement possibilities.

00:31:01.560 --> 00:31:04.895
<v Speaker 0>Was this never a thing? People maybe it's

00:31:04.895 --> 00:31:06.495
<v Speaker 0>more of an official thing now, but I'm

00:31:06.495 --> 00:31:08.735
<v Speaker 0>sure people have been unbanned before by, you

00:31:08.735 --> 00:31:14.835
<v Speaker 0>know, submitting an appeal. I'm sure. Let's see.

00:31:15.455 --> 00:31:18.914
<v Speaker 0>YouTube will evaluate each request individually, but copyright

00:31:18.975 --> 00:31:26.620
<v Speaker 0>violators need not apply. Oh, little drink of

00:31:26.620 --> 00:31:29.740
<v Speaker 0>my coffee there. A few weeks ago, Google

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:33.345
<v Speaker 0>told US rep Jim Jordan that it would

00:31:33.345 --> 00:31:36.325
<v Speaker 0>allow creators banned for COVID and election misinformation

00:31:36.465 --> 00:31:41.285
<v Speaker 0>and rejoined the platform. Oh, is is that

00:31:41.425 --> 00:31:45.665
<v Speaker 0>specifically for that? It didn't offer many details

00:31:45.665 --> 00:31:47.539
<v Speaker 0>in the letter, but now YouTube has explained

00:31:47.539 --> 00:31:51.140
<v Speaker 0>the restoration process. YouTube's second chances are actually

00:31:51.140 --> 00:31:53.400
<v Speaker 0>more expansive than the latter made it seem.

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:56.020
<v Speaker 0>Going forward, almost anyone banned from YouTube will

00:31:56.020 --> 00:31:59.000
<v Speaker 0>have the opportunity to request a new channel.

00:31:59.655 --> 00:32:01.815
<v Speaker 0>The company doesn't guarantee approval, but you can

00:32:01.815 --> 00:32:04.135
<v Speaker 0>expect to see plenty of banned creators back

00:32:04.135 --> 00:32:07.335
<v Speaker 0>on Google's platform in the coming months. YouTube

00:32:07.335 --> 00:32:10.315
<v Speaker 0>will now allow banned creators to request reinstatement,

00:32:10.775 --> 00:32:13.275
<v Speaker 0>but this is a separate form from appealing

00:32:13.335 --> 00:32:15.960
<v Speaker 0>a ban. Okay. So you can appeal the

00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:17.720
<v Speaker 0>ban, and then you have to request the

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:20.360
<v Speaker 0>reinstatement. If a channel is banned, creators continue

00:32:20.360 --> 00:32:22.380
<v Speaker 0>to have the option of appealing the ban.

00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.560
<v Speaker 0>If successful, your channel comes back as if

00:32:25.560 --> 00:32:28.120
<v Speaker 0>nothing happened. After one year, creators will now

00:32:28.120 --> 00:32:31.375
<v Speaker 0>have the second chance option. We know many

00:32:31.375 --> 00:32:33.455
<v Speaker 0>terminated creators deserve a second chance, the blog

00:32:33.455 --> 00:32:35.935
<v Speaker 0>post reads, noting that YouTube itself doesn't always

00:32:35.935 --> 00:32:37.855
<v Speaker 0>get things right the first time. The option

00:32:37.855 --> 00:32:39.455
<v Speaker 0>for getting a new channel will appear in

00:32:39.455 --> 00:32:42.435
<v Speaker 0>YouTube Studio on the desktop. The Google expects

00:32:42.655 --> 00:32:44.495
<v Speaker 0>and Google expects to be sending out these

00:32:44.495 --> 00:32:47.200
<v Speaker 0>notices in the coming months. However, anyone terminated

00:32:47.260 --> 00:32:50.060
<v Speaker 0>for copyright violations is out of luck. Google

00:32:50.060 --> 00:32:52.460
<v Speaker 0>does not forgive such infringement easily as it

00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:57.840
<v Speaker 0>does claiming that COVID is a hoax. The

00:32:57.980 --> 00:33:00.745
<v Speaker 0>readmission process will still come with a review

00:33:00.745 --> 00:33:02.665
<v Speaker 0>by YouTube staff, and the company says it

00:33:02.665 --> 00:33:05.945
<v Speaker 0>will take multiple factors into consideration, including whether

00:33:05.945 --> 00:33:07.865
<v Speaker 0>or not the behavior that got the channel

00:33:07.865 --> 00:33:10.025
<v Speaker 0>banned is still against the rules. This is

00:33:10.025 --> 00:33:12.605
<v Speaker 0>clearly a reference to COVID and election misinformation,

00:33:13.090 --> 00:33:15.250
<v Speaker 0>which Google did not allow on YouTube for

00:33:15.250 --> 00:33:19.810
<v Speaker 0>several years but has since stopped policing. The

00:33:19.810 --> 00:33:22.610
<v Speaker 0>site will also consider factors like how severe

00:33:22.610 --> 00:33:25.170
<v Speaker 0>or persistent the violations were and whether the

00:33:25.170 --> 00:33:27.410
<v Speaker 0>creator's actions harmed or may continue to harm

00:33:27.410 --> 00:33:31.305
<v Speaker 0>the YouTube community. A shiny new channel. Someone

00:33:31.305 --> 00:33:33.545
<v Speaker 0>who successfully appeals a ban gets their channel

00:33:33.545 --> 00:33:36.425
<v Speaker 0>back with all its videos and subscribers. However,

00:33:36.425 --> 00:33:38.265
<v Speaker 0>returning to YouTube with a new program is

00:33:38.265 --> 00:33:40.425
<v Speaker 0>like getting a new channel. Creators will have

00:33:40.425 --> 00:33:42.505
<v Speaker 0>to rebuild their following, but they can reupload

00:33:42.505 --> 00:33:44.840
<v Speaker 0>videos from their original channel, even the ones

00:33:44.840 --> 00:33:48.360
<v Speaker 0>that got them banned. Wow. That's crazy. Provided

00:33:48.360 --> 00:33:51.020
<v Speaker 0>that content is not against YouTube's current rules.

00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.240
<v Speaker 0>This comes just weeks after Google and YouTube

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:55.320
<v Speaker 0>parent company Alphabet agreed to a twenty four

00:33:55.320 --> 00:33:57.740
<v Speaker 0>point five million settlement with Trump over suspending

00:33:57.800 --> 00:34:00.015
<v Speaker 0>his channel following the twenty twenty one US

00:34:00.015 --> 00:34:02.815
<v Speaker 0>Capitol riot. Trump's channel was reinstated by Google

00:34:02.815 --> 00:34:04.175
<v Speaker 0>in twenty twenty three as he ramped up

00:34:04.175 --> 00:34:06.975
<v Speaker 0>his third bid for the White House. Creators

00:34:06.975 --> 00:34:09.135
<v Speaker 0>who get a new channel under this pilot

00:34:09.135 --> 00:34:12.035
<v Speaker 0>program will find all its all is effectively

00:34:12.095 --> 00:34:14.430
<v Speaker 0>forgiven. While they will need to rebuild their

00:34:14.430 --> 00:34:16.750
<v Speaker 0>subscriber base, they will be permitted to apply

00:34:16.750 --> 00:34:18.590
<v Speaker 0>for monetization as soon as they reach the

00:34:18.590 --> 00:34:22.130
<v Speaker 0>necessary channel criteria. Google has often limited monetization

00:34:22.190 --> 00:34:24.190
<v Speaker 0>on inflammatory content as a way to steer

00:34:24.190 --> 00:34:27.365
<v Speaker 0>behavior before resorting to an outright ban. It

00:34:27.365 --> 00:34:29.285
<v Speaker 0>seems certain that Google will be policing content

00:34:29.285 --> 00:34:31.045
<v Speaker 0>less than it has in recent years. Well,

00:34:31.045 --> 00:34:32.964
<v Speaker 0>as long as you're not infringing copyright, which

00:34:32.964 --> 00:34:37.125
<v Speaker 0>remains an unforgivable sin on YouTube. Well, that's

00:34:37.125 --> 00:34:40.005
<v Speaker 0>a good article. Thanks, Ryan Whitman from, Arf

00:34:40.005 --> 00:34:43.180
<v Speaker 0>Tecnica for that article. But that's all I

00:34:43.180 --> 00:34:45.980
<v Speaker 0>got for you guys this week. Thank you

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:48.720
<v Speaker 0>so much for tuning in. A little bit,

00:34:49.100 --> 00:34:51.340
<v Speaker 0>I guess, more on personal level, what's been

00:34:51.340 --> 00:34:56.234
<v Speaker 0>going on with me. Yeah. I don't know.

00:34:56.234 --> 00:34:58.315
<v Speaker 0>Another week of school. Been doing a lot

00:34:58.315 --> 00:35:01.515
<v Speaker 0>of busy work. Caught up on a lot

00:35:01.515 --> 00:35:04.174
<v Speaker 0>of my calc homework, and it's, you know,

00:35:04.795 --> 00:35:06.714
<v Speaker 0>getting into a good rhythm here. Just trying

00:35:06.714 --> 00:35:10.690
<v Speaker 0>to, like, maintain my, movement. It's been hard

00:35:10.690 --> 00:35:13.250
<v Speaker 0>to find time to, you know, put an

00:35:13.250 --> 00:35:15.010
<v Speaker 0>hour or two in for the show. I've

00:35:15.010 --> 00:35:17.410
<v Speaker 0>been gathering articles through the week and reading

00:35:17.410 --> 00:35:21.170
<v Speaker 0>through them, but, we're gonna try to keep

00:35:21.170 --> 00:35:23.010
<v Speaker 0>it as consistent as possible for you guys.

00:35:23.010 --> 00:35:24.695
<v Speaker 0>I know it's a Saturday that I'm releasing

00:35:24.695 --> 00:35:26.775
<v Speaker 0>this on, so I do apologize. But this

00:35:26.775 --> 00:35:28.135
<v Speaker 0>was the best time for me to kinda

00:35:28.135 --> 00:35:32.375
<v Speaker 0>record this. If you guys would rather have

00:35:32.375 --> 00:35:34.135
<v Speaker 0>it so that we're recording it and still

00:35:34.135 --> 00:35:37.210
<v Speaker 0>releasing it on, you know, specific days, then

00:35:37.210 --> 00:35:39.550
<v Speaker 0>I can try to do that and maybe

00:35:40.490 --> 00:35:43.850
<v Speaker 0>record episodes ahead of time and then post

00:35:43.850 --> 00:35:45.370
<v Speaker 0>them on those days. But I I don't

00:35:45.370 --> 00:35:47.210
<v Speaker 0>know. It just feels like such a waste

00:35:47.210 --> 00:35:50.355
<v Speaker 0>to kinda hold back on the news, because

00:35:50.415 --> 00:35:52.015
<v Speaker 0>new stuff's gonna be coming out when I

00:35:52.015 --> 00:35:54.335
<v Speaker 0>post that, and what I'm talking about on

00:35:54.335 --> 00:35:56.275
<v Speaker 0>that night might already be old. I mean,

00:35:56.495 --> 00:35:58.415
<v Speaker 0>this article came out on October ninth. It's

00:35:58.415 --> 00:36:00.655
<v Speaker 0>over a week old. Most people maybe heard

00:36:00.655 --> 00:36:03.215
<v Speaker 0>about the band creator program already, so who

00:36:03.215 --> 00:36:05.700
<v Speaker 0>knows? But I do still appreciate you guys

00:36:05.700 --> 00:36:07.700
<v Speaker 0>tuning in for the episode. Thank you very,

00:36:07.700 --> 00:36:11.780
<v Speaker 0>very much. Give us some feedback. Link up
