00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:02,980
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
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,000
or a basic interpreter for the Altair 8,800

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

6
00:00:13,484 --> 00:00:14,304
launched Microsoft's

7
00:00:14,684 --> 00:00:16,144
influence personal computing

8
00:00:16,925 --> 00:00:17,425
profoundly.

9
00:00:18,445 --> 00:00:19,184
This collaboration

10
00:00:19,484 --> 00:00:21,184
transformed technology paving

11
00:00:21,564 --> 00:00:22,464
paving the way

12
00:00:22,925 --> 00:00:23,664
for PCs,

13
00:00:24,364 --> 00:00:24,864
Microsoft's

14
00:00:25,164 --> 00:00:28,140
global dominance, and the eventual rise of Linux

15
00:00:28,219 --> 00:00:29,519
and modern computing

16
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:30,480
ecosystems.

17
00:00:31,099 --> 00:00:34,939
I wanna welcome you to episode 1,835.

18
00:00:34,939 --> 00:00:37,820
I'm your host, Todd Cochran. Yes. Fifty years

19
00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:38,879
ago this week,

20
00:00:39,739 --> 00:00:40,879
they made this deal.

21
00:00:41,675 --> 00:00:43,515
And, of course, they made this deal with

22
00:00:43,515 --> 00:00:44,015
MITS,

23
00:00:45,274 --> 00:00:48,395
and the deal with the as yet unnamed

24
00:00:48,395 --> 00:00:50,715
partnership between Gates and Allen was to provide

25
00:00:50,715 --> 00:00:51,774
a basic interpreter

26
00:00:52,635 --> 00:00:53,295
for MITS

27
00:00:55,090 --> 00:00:57,189
Altair 8800.

28
00:00:58,210 --> 00:00:59,030
There are many

29
00:00:59,409 --> 00:01:01,909
contenders for the first my computer or first

30
00:01:02,129 --> 00:01:03,350
in personal computer

31
00:01:03,969 --> 00:01:06,150
in which any one of those,

32
00:01:08,405 --> 00:01:09,864
each of us old guys

33
00:01:10,245 --> 00:01:12,484
favor depends on how they find some of

34
00:01:12,484 --> 00:01:13,144
the terms.

35
00:01:15,045 --> 00:01:17,604
But the MIT South Terre ticked a lot

36
00:01:17,604 --> 00:01:18,185
of boxes.

37
00:01:19,204 --> 00:01:21,209
Mitts, I think is how they pronounce it,

38
00:01:21,209 --> 00:01:22,650
and set the pattern for a lot of

39
00:01:22,650 --> 00:01:23,310
the future

40
00:01:23,689 --> 00:01:25,069
in the computer industry.

41
00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:28,750
And again, it used a eighty eighty microprocessor,

42
00:01:29,530 --> 00:01:31,609
not a bunch of discrete parts. It was

43
00:01:31,609 --> 00:01:32,109
modular.

44
00:01:33,765 --> 00:01:36,084
Again, it was built from cards that slot

45
00:01:36,084 --> 00:01:37,385
into a bus to form

46
00:01:38,325 --> 00:01:40,725
of which was later standardized as the s

47
00:01:40,725 --> 00:01:41,944
100 bus.

48
00:01:42,325 --> 00:01:45,125
But rather than an expensive workstation like an

49
00:01:45,125 --> 00:01:46,825
IBM 5,100

50
00:01:47,450 --> 00:01:49,769
aimed at scientists and so sought after the

51
00:01:49,769 --> 00:01:50,269
people

52
00:01:51,129 --> 00:01:52,969
that will travel back in time to find

53
00:01:52,969 --> 00:01:56,090
one, the Altair was aimed at hobbyists knitting

54
00:01:56,090 --> 00:01:56,569
one of the

55
00:01:57,849 --> 00:02:00,670
knitting out one enough well enough to run

56
00:02:01,185 --> 00:02:03,825
a CPM would have cost $4,000

57
00:02:03,825 --> 00:02:05,905
or more. And with a one kilobit of

58
00:02:05,905 --> 00:02:06,405
RAM,

59
00:02:07,104 --> 00:02:09,425
you could toggle the eighty eighty instructions into

60
00:02:09,425 --> 00:02:10,645
the 8,800

61
00:02:10,784 --> 00:02:12,944
using the front panel switches. But if you

62
00:02:12,944 --> 00:02:13,764
spend another

63
00:02:14,219 --> 00:02:16,139
$264

64
00:02:16,139 --> 00:02:18,319
for four kilobits of memory,

65
00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:20,620
it could do something much more interesting. It

66
00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:21,599
could run basic.

67
00:02:22,219 --> 00:02:23,919
Again, the famous Microsoft

68
00:02:24,539 --> 00:02:26,239
four k basic.

69
00:02:27,034 --> 00:02:29,675
Microsoft's first product which the venture was reporting

70
00:02:29,675 --> 00:02:31,995
on half that time ago, again, it was

71
00:02:31,995 --> 00:02:33,915
co written by Bill Gates and the late

72
00:02:33,915 --> 00:02:34,655
Paul Allen

73
00:02:35,435 --> 00:02:37,775
and Monte Davidoff who gave,

74
00:02:38,875 --> 00:02:40,495
an interview to the register

75
00:02:41,819 --> 00:02:43,419
some time ago that you can go back

76
00:02:43,419 --> 00:02:44,960
and and listen to.

77
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:46,000
But,

78
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:49,099
you know, you look at Bill Gates in,

79
00:02:49,740 --> 00:02:51,439
in 1975,

80
00:02:51,819 --> 00:02:53,659
and he definitely, you know, he's just a

81
00:02:53,659 --> 00:02:54,159
teenager.

82
00:02:55,925 --> 00:02:58,425
A very, very, very smart teenager,

83
00:02:59,925 --> 00:03:02,905
which if you compare the picture compared to

84
00:03:02,965 --> 00:03:03,784
Bill Allen,

85
00:03:04,245 --> 00:03:06,324
you know, Bill Allen at that time looked

86
00:03:06,324 --> 00:03:07,044
quite his,

87
00:03:07,925 --> 00:03:09,064
quite his senior.

88
00:03:10,050 --> 00:03:13,110
So, you know, I think my first experience

89
00:03:13,889 --> 00:03:14,949
with a,

90
00:03:17,889 --> 00:03:19,989
what would really could be considered a basic

91
00:03:20,050 --> 00:03:21,110
computer was

92
00:03:21,409 --> 00:03:23,750
the trash 80, the t r s 80

93
00:03:23,889 --> 00:03:24,389
in

94
00:03:25,534 --> 00:03:26,034
probably

95
00:03:30,974 --> 00:03:31,635
probably '80,

96
00:03:35,295 --> 00:03:36,754
7980.

97
00:03:37,389 --> 00:03:38,750
I made my first ex

98
00:03:39,389 --> 00:03:39,889
first,

99
00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:42,030
exposure to a,

100
00:03:43,469 --> 00:03:45,549
to an Apple machine at the time. May

101
00:03:45,549 --> 00:03:46,049
have

102
00:03:46,750 --> 00:03:47,870
been 82,

103
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:49,250
somewhere around there.

104
00:03:53,574 --> 00:03:55,514
Boy, they were they were amazing.

105
00:03:55,894 --> 00:03:57,574
And I think even when I was in

106
00:03:57,735 --> 00:03:59,754
my TRS 80 that I had,

107
00:04:00,614 --> 00:04:02,474
you save the code to a tape

108
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,620
and it works sometimes.

109
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:09,479
It didn't always work saving the code. So

110
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:10,780
when you loaded code,

111
00:04:11,239 --> 00:04:12,219
which was basic,

112
00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:15,319
you really had to,

113
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,259
to to make sure

114
00:04:17,805 --> 00:04:20,605
that, everything transced over and and nothing was

115
00:04:20,605 --> 00:04:21,665
garbled. But,

116
00:04:22,125 --> 00:04:24,365
fifty years ago and boy oh boy, how

117
00:04:24,365 --> 00:04:24,865
far,

118
00:04:25,725 --> 00:04:26,785
we have come.

119
00:04:27,245 --> 00:04:29,644
And I think one of the first things

120
00:04:29,644 --> 00:04:30,144
I

121
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:32,069
wrote on

122
00:04:33,569 --> 00:04:35,810
or didn't write, I didn't really probably didn't

123
00:04:35,810 --> 00:04:36,629
write anything.

124
00:04:37,330 --> 00:04:38,149
I definitely,

125
00:04:40,769 --> 00:04:43,089
you loaded some of the, you know, some

126
00:04:43,089 --> 00:04:46,055
of the programs that were available. I think

127
00:04:46,055 --> 00:04:46,835
it was Hangman.

128
00:04:47,855 --> 00:04:48,835
Hangman was

129
00:04:50,335 --> 00:04:51,855
the the game that,

130
00:04:52,335 --> 00:04:54,415
that I loaded was one of the first

131
00:04:54,415 --> 00:04:56,435
ones. Might even been

132
00:04:57,214 --> 00:04:59,235
Pong. I can't remember. Maybe

133
00:04:59,629 --> 00:05:01,389
there wasn't enough memory for it. I don't

134
00:05:01,389 --> 00:05:02,289
know. But,

135
00:05:03,709 --> 00:05:05,649
a lot of fun in in those very,

136
00:05:06,110 --> 00:05:08,050
very, very early days. But,

137
00:05:08,990 --> 00:05:11,569
yeah, we passed the fifty fifty fifty

138
00:05:11,949 --> 00:05:12,689
year mark,

139
00:05:13,654 --> 00:05:14,714
today and,

140
00:05:15,175 --> 00:05:17,194
not today. Couple days ago this week.

141
00:05:17,735 --> 00:05:19,834
So, hard to believe how far,

142
00:05:20,535 --> 00:05:22,295
we have come. Hey. I wanna welcome you

143
00:05:22,295 --> 00:05:25,654

00:07:11,314 --> 00:07:13,334
Again, professional email and

191
00:07:13,794 --> 00:07:16,375
again that all important SSL certificate.

192
00:07:16,834 --> 00:07:18,435
If you need a domain name and get

193
00:07:18,435 --> 00:07:19,794
one for $11.99

194
00:07:19,794 --> 00:07:22,649
but if you're looking to get started and

195
00:07:22,649 --> 00:07:25,610
you're not technically inclined at all, you can

196
00:07:25,610 --> 00:07:28,009
get that GoDaddy website builder. You get a

197
00:07:28,009 --> 00:07:30,089
free thirty day trial of personal business and

198
00:07:30,089 --> 00:07:32,410
business plus plans. Of course, I use all

199
00:07:32,410 --> 00:07:33,310
of the GoDaddy

200
00:07:33,865 --> 00:07:36,024
products and service and your support keeps this

201
00:07:36,024 --> 00:07:37,164
podcast alive.

202
00:07:37,704 --> 00:07:39,784
Use our codes. Click and save. You're backing

203
00:07:39,784 --> 00:07:41,564
an independent team of creators.

204
00:07:42,024 --> 00:07:44,104
Share my codes or website with friends and

205
00:07:44,104 --> 00:07:45,884
family because every time

206
00:07:46,189 --> 00:07:48,370
one of my codes is used, it supports

207
00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:50,930
Geek News Central thinking for keeping us line

208
00:07:51,469 --> 00:07:52,289
and going

209
00:07:52,589 --> 00:07:53,089
strong.

210
00:07:53,550 --> 00:07:55,789
One thing I have run into and there's

211
00:07:55,789 --> 00:07:57,889
nothing I can do about it

212
00:07:58,785 --> 00:08:00,004
is my

213
00:08:00,305 --> 00:08:00,805
Umbrel,

214
00:08:01,745 --> 00:08:02,245
which

215
00:08:02,785 --> 00:08:05,845
has a one terabyte SSD attached to it,

216
00:08:06,865 --> 00:08:08,865
has a very very very very very very

217
00:08:08,865 --> 00:08:10,245
full hard drive.

218
00:08:11,069 --> 00:08:12,529
And the Bitcoin

219
00:08:13,310 --> 00:08:15,149
node has grown so big. I need to

220
00:08:15,149 --> 00:08:17,329
upgrade hard drives when I get home, but

221
00:08:18,349 --> 00:08:20,769
I've attempted to do something called pruning,

222
00:08:21,389 --> 00:08:23,310
which scares the living crap out of me

223
00:08:23,310 --> 00:08:25,229
to get some hard drive space back in

224
00:08:25,229 --> 00:08:25,969
the interim.

225
00:08:26,884 --> 00:08:29,365
So if you're boosting the show, be advised

226
00:08:29,365 --> 00:08:32,105
might be a little bit of challenge.

227
00:08:33,524 --> 00:08:34,585
But definitely,

228
00:08:36,485 --> 00:08:38,904
got to get that hard drive space increased.

229
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,279
And I have a four terabyte SSD waiting

230
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:44,019
for me

231
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,759
when I when I arrived back back in

232
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:50,339
The States. It just climbed unexpectedly.

233
00:08:51,884 --> 00:08:54,285
It was it surprised the crap out of

234
00:08:54,285 --> 00:08:56,205
me. We were doing good on storage and

235
00:08:56,205 --> 00:08:57,024
all of a sudden

236
00:08:57,565 --> 00:08:58,065
boom

237
00:08:58,605 --> 00:08:59,105
it

238
00:08:59,725 --> 00:09:00,304
it jumped

239
00:09:01,004 --> 00:09:01,504
and

240
00:09:02,524 --> 00:09:04,225
yeah. I'm not necessarily

241
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,339
not necessarily

242
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:08,139
good

243
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:10,220
in any way whatsoever.

244
00:09:11,959 --> 00:09:15,480
So the Bitcoin node keeps failing because of

245
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:15,980
the

246
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,899
the lack of

247
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:20,779
of hard drive space. So,

248
00:09:22,304 --> 00:09:22,804
yeah,

249
00:09:23,345 --> 00:09:25,605
it kinda sucks and there's really nothing,

250
00:09:26,304 --> 00:09:28,625
I can do about it except hope that

251
00:09:28,625 --> 00:09:29,764
the pruning action

252
00:09:32,304 --> 00:09:33,365
is going to

253
00:09:34,129 --> 00:09:35,509
is gonna help things,

254
00:09:36,289 --> 00:09:37,669
to get started here.

255
00:09:38,049 --> 00:09:40,309
So what am I trying to do?

256
00:09:41,570 --> 00:09:42,070
Alright.

257
00:09:43,570 --> 00:09:44,070
Yes.

258
00:09:44,450 --> 00:09:45,830
I want you to restart

259
00:09:46,684 --> 00:09:48,625
as yeah. The Bitcoin node

260
00:09:50,365 --> 00:09:53,884
failed again. So hopefully the reboot and the

261
00:09:53,884 --> 00:09:54,865
pruning mechanism

262
00:09:55,245 --> 00:09:56,544
will will help.

263
00:09:57,404 --> 00:09:59,245
Alright. Let's go ahead and get into our

264
00:09:59,245 --> 00:09:59,745
stack.

265
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:05,500
OpenAI could drop GPT five in August, report

266
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,059
says.

267
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,160
And,

268
00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:10,039
the folks at Mashable and this is just

269
00:10:10,039 --> 00:10:11,720
a note for Kirk if you're listening. The

270
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,259
Verge is almost become

271
00:10:14,204 --> 00:10:14,704
impossible

272
00:10:15,004 --> 00:10:16,784
to cover because they're always

273
00:10:17,245 --> 00:10:18,784
asking for money. So

274
00:10:19,644 --> 00:10:22,544
maybe we should pick alternate articles for these,

275
00:10:23,565 --> 00:10:26,125
for the prep just because of The Verge

276
00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:26,625
being,

277
00:10:27,379 --> 00:10:29,299
you know, not letting you read stuff. So

278
00:10:29,299 --> 00:10:31,000
what there's plenty of other websites

279
00:10:31,379 --> 00:10:31,879
creating

280
00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:35,240
content. But again OpenAI could open

281
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:38,659
drop g t five in in August that

282
00:10:38,659 --> 00:10:39,159
and

283
00:10:39,620 --> 00:10:41,240
you know, that would kind of

284
00:10:42,054 --> 00:10:44,235
follow along maybe some previous history.

285
00:10:45,495 --> 00:10:47,975
Been some interesting comments being made by Sam

286
00:10:47,975 --> 00:10:49,995
Altman. I'll be covering some of that

287
00:10:50,615 --> 00:10:51,834
a little bit later

288
00:10:52,294 --> 00:10:53,514
in the show here.

289
00:10:54,214 --> 00:10:54,714
But

290
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,659
you know, he

291
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:00,279
he has basically said he's been doing some

292
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:00,779
testing

293
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:05,000
and he's got questions and he got emailed

294
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,240
a question that he didn't quite understand, which

295
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,379
I would be surprised

296
00:11:08,839 --> 00:11:11,079
that Sam Altman wouldn't understand a question he

297
00:11:11,079 --> 00:11:11,820
was asked.

298
00:11:12,174 --> 00:11:15,215
And he used GPT five to to respond

299
00:11:15,215 --> 00:11:17,295
to the email. I'm just you know, at

300
00:11:17,295 --> 00:11:18,674
this point, I am still

301
00:11:19,375 --> 00:11:21,955
not using chat g p t to respond

302
00:11:23,054 --> 00:11:25,695
to emails. But there's some there's some stories

303
00:11:25,695 --> 00:11:27,235
out about people that are

304
00:11:28,269 --> 00:11:31,250
becoming a little bit too reliant upon it

305
00:11:31,790 --> 00:11:32,290
and

306
00:11:32,990 --> 00:11:35,230
we will we'll talk about that as as

307
00:11:35,230 --> 00:11:36,850
the show progresses today.

308
00:11:39,644 --> 00:11:41,665
There's a proposed bill. Bipartisan

309
00:11:42,045 --> 00:11:45,565
pair of US senators have introduced a bill

310
00:11:45,565 --> 00:11:47,904
this week that would protect copyrighted content

311
00:11:48,605 --> 00:11:51,165
from being used by AI training without the

312
00:11:51,165 --> 00:11:53,745
owner submission. Content creators from large media companies

313
00:11:53,805 --> 00:11:55,024
to individual bloggers

314
00:11:55,620 --> 00:11:56,360
could effectively

315
00:11:56,740 --> 00:12:00,100
block Google meta, OpenAI, Anthropic and so forth

316
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:00,600
from

317
00:12:01,059 --> 00:12:04,179
others appropriating their work. And you know, this

318
00:12:04,179 --> 00:12:06,019
is a damned if you do damned if

319
00:12:06,019 --> 00:12:07,160
you don't situation.

320
00:12:08,634 --> 00:12:11,115
If passed into law, this AI accountability and

321
00:12:11,115 --> 00:12:12,815
personal data protection act

322
00:12:13,355 --> 00:12:14,735
would add new federal

323
00:12:15,115 --> 00:12:17,754
tort allowing individuals to sue companies that use

324
00:12:17,754 --> 00:12:19,834
copyrighted works of personal and definite information to

325
00:12:19,834 --> 00:12:23,694
train AI without the owners express prior consent.

326
00:12:25,019 --> 00:12:27,740
As a independent content creator and the way

327
00:12:27,740 --> 00:12:29,120
search is changing,

328
00:12:30,620 --> 00:12:32,240
the only way I feel

329
00:12:32,779 --> 00:12:36,240
that I am going to survive as a

330
00:12:36,785 --> 00:12:38,705
site that has 15,000

331
00:12:38,705 --> 00:12:39,205
plus

332
00:12:39,665 --> 00:12:40,644
written articles

333
00:12:41,825 --> 00:12:44,805
is that the content has to be indexed

334
00:12:44,865 --> 00:12:47,904
by chat gpt so that my site is

335
00:12:47,904 --> 00:12:50,644
recommended in results or cited and

336
00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:54,559
but again we've already seen huge drop offs

337
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,139
in web traffic because people are using

338
00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:00,100
chat gpt and other services for search

339
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:02,000
and Google is,

340
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,339
you know, got to be worried about this.

341
00:13:05,324 --> 00:13:08,065
But it it's very, very scary for a

342
00:13:08,125 --> 00:13:10,065
person who's trying to have a global,

343
00:13:11,324 --> 00:13:13,804
global reach if you don't have a breadth

344
00:13:13,804 --> 00:13:14,544
of data.

345
00:13:15,485 --> 00:13:15,884
This,

346
00:13:16,605 --> 00:13:18,684
this party can be over real quick for

347
00:13:18,684 --> 00:13:20,225
the for the natural web.

348
00:13:20,660 --> 00:13:22,279
And that's very, very scary

349
00:13:24,259 --> 00:13:27,700
that you could be made irrelevant just by

350
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:30,279
a large language model putting an output out,

351
00:13:31,940 --> 00:13:34,420
on an answer or a research to a

352
00:13:34,420 --> 00:13:34,920
question

353
00:13:35,705 --> 00:13:36,764
without getting,

354
00:13:37,144 --> 00:13:40,044
you know, an appropriate reference and

355
00:13:40,504 --> 00:13:41,965
and the traffic for

356
00:13:42,504 --> 00:13:44,504
that work. So again, it's a do if

357
00:13:44,504 --> 00:13:45,725
you you know,

358
00:13:47,065 --> 00:13:49,785
it's not a great situation. You you're gonna

359
00:13:49,785 --> 00:13:50,524
end up

360
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,980
one way or the other.

361
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:55,839
Again, do if you're damned and do if

362
00:13:55,839 --> 00:13:56,980
you don't. So,

363
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,080
again, I haven't heard a lot from you

364
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,879
folks on this particular topic and I would

365
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,059
I'd love to hear back from you on

366
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,500
what you think

367
00:14:07,245 --> 00:14:09,165
in this regard and, you know, don't be

368
00:14:09,165 --> 00:14:10,924
afraid to drop me an email here at

369
00:14:10,924 --> 00:14:13,184
geeknews@atgmail.com

370
00:14:13,565 --> 00:14:15,884
on your thoughts on this exact topic, especially

371
00:14:15,884 --> 00:14:17,184
if you work for business

372
00:14:17,565 --> 00:14:19,725
that, you know, relies on a lot of

373
00:14:19,725 --> 00:14:20,465
web traffic.

374
00:14:21,179 --> 00:14:23,660
Starlink satellite Internet is back online after a

375
00:14:23,660 --> 00:14:24,160
massive

376
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:25,840
a massive outage.

377
00:14:27,179 --> 00:14:30,160
Starlink reported that they couldn't Starlink

378
00:14:30,540 --> 00:14:33,519
users reported that they couldn't connect to SpaceX

379
00:14:34,139 --> 00:14:35,919
for a few hours today

380
00:14:37,075 --> 00:14:38,534
and widespread Starlink

381
00:14:39,075 --> 00:14:39,575
usage

382
00:14:40,034 --> 00:14:41,975
outages were reported. My

383
00:14:43,794 --> 00:14:44,855
my UI

384
00:14:45,794 --> 00:14:46,294
device

385
00:14:48,929 --> 00:14:51,490
that for Unifi was basically I could see

386
00:14:51,490 --> 00:14:53,909
the outages happening even at my own

387
00:14:54,610 --> 00:14:57,350
home. So a little less than an hour

388
00:14:57,970 --> 00:15:01,009
of an outage and, actually three hours, two

389
00:15:01,009 --> 00:15:01,909
and a half hours.

390
00:15:02,725 --> 00:15:03,225
And,

391
00:15:04,004 --> 00:15:05,684
so they had something go on in their

392
00:15:05,684 --> 00:15:08,665
major major major control center.

393
00:15:09,605 --> 00:15:11,304
All ISPs have outages.

394
00:15:12,325 --> 00:15:13,845
They don't like to see them and it

395
00:15:13,845 --> 00:15:14,745
affects companies

396
00:15:15,230 --> 00:15:16,830
and individuals right in the middle of the

397
00:15:16,830 --> 00:15:18,050
business working day,

398
00:15:18,590 --> 00:15:20,910
but this is what happens sometimes. So I

399
00:15:20,910 --> 00:15:23,389
just wondered how many people fell back to

400
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:24,210
their iPhone,

401
00:15:25,309 --> 00:15:25,809
connections.

402
00:15:27,550 --> 00:15:29,550
On a pretty serious note, if you have

403
00:15:29,550 --> 00:15:30,290
a printer,

404
00:15:32,115 --> 00:15:33,735
there's over 700

405
00:15:33,794 --> 00:15:36,855
models are actively being attacked by hackers.

406
00:15:37,475 --> 00:15:39,254
Printers by Brother, Toshiba,

407
00:15:39,794 --> 00:15:40,294
Fujifilm,

408
00:15:40,674 --> 00:15:41,735
Konica Minolta,

409
00:15:42,434 --> 00:15:42,934
Enrico

410
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,940
are super susceptible to attacks thanks to

411
00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:48,459
security flaws.

412
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:49,740
So

413
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,480
you need to be updating your printer on

414
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,539
a regular basis.

415
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,059
And also if you've never changed the default

416
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:58,700
password

417
00:15:59,714 --> 00:16:01,875
on your printer, you need to change that

418
00:16:01,875 --> 00:16:02,934
default password.

419
00:16:03,794 --> 00:16:06,914
It's probably admin admin or admin password. You

420
00:16:06,914 --> 00:16:07,654
need to change

421
00:16:08,195 --> 00:16:10,054
that password to something else.

422
00:16:10,754 --> 00:16:11,254
And,

423
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:14,090
you know, I have a password

424
00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:16,250
that I use for devices

425
00:16:17,830 --> 00:16:19,370
in my home that's

426
00:16:20,070 --> 00:16:20,809
very complicated.

427
00:16:23,110 --> 00:16:24,570
Very random sudo

428
00:16:25,465 --> 00:16:27,705
just because I don't want my routers, I

429
00:16:27,705 --> 00:16:30,184
don't want my printers, I don't want anything

430
00:16:30,184 --> 00:16:31,325
touched as a gateway

431
00:16:32,184 --> 00:16:33,245
to get into

432
00:16:34,585 --> 00:16:35,245
my network.

433
00:16:36,424 --> 00:16:39,164
It's same thing applies to my

434
00:16:39,629 --> 00:16:40,129
my

435
00:16:41,070 --> 00:16:44,049
network attached storage devices. I have again

436
00:16:44,669 --> 00:16:45,410
very sophisticated

437
00:16:45,950 --> 00:16:47,410
passwords being used

438
00:16:47,789 --> 00:16:50,929
to access those devices not something simple.

439
00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:53,490
This is what we have

440
00:16:54,644 --> 00:16:55,144
password

441
00:16:55,605 --> 00:16:57,705
assistance for these days like 1Password.

442
00:16:59,445 --> 00:17:02,325
You know, use those. Do those random pseudo

443
00:17:02,325 --> 00:17:02,825
generated

444
00:17:03,524 --> 00:17:05,205
passwords and get and get them sent. Now

445
00:17:05,205 --> 00:17:06,644
it might be a pain to type that

446
00:17:06,644 --> 00:17:08,585
into your printer. I understand.

447
00:17:10,220 --> 00:17:11,759
But maybe use abbreviated

448
00:17:12,779 --> 00:17:14,559
one, six, seven, eight characters

449
00:17:15,340 --> 00:17:16,080
at a minimum.

450
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:18,700
But for goodness sakes, don't use one, two,

451
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:19,440
three, four.

452
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:23,340
Not not a not a smart move at

453
00:17:23,340 --> 00:17:24,075
this point.

454
00:17:24,634 --> 00:17:27,914
Alphabet sees results soar boosted once again by

455
00:17:27,914 --> 00:17:30,255
soaring AI and cloud demand.

456
00:17:30,875 --> 00:17:32,894
Google revenue is up 14%

457
00:17:33,034 --> 00:17:36,014
driven by 32% growth in Google Cloud revenue.

458
00:17:36,609 --> 00:17:39,649
The cloud division's annual revenue rate runs now

459
00:17:39,649 --> 00:17:41,269
at $50,000,000,000

460
00:17:41,649 --> 00:17:44,929
and the Gemini app has approximately 450

461
00:17:44,929 --> 00:17:48,149
monthly active users as they've essentially moved everyone

462
00:17:48,805 --> 00:17:52,345
from Gmail and using Google Apps into getting

463
00:17:52,404 --> 00:17:53,065
a Gemini.

464
00:17:54,244 --> 00:17:54,484
But,

465
00:17:55,684 --> 00:17:57,144
Google revenue rose

466
00:17:57,684 --> 00:18:01,065
by 32% in the quarter to 13,600,000,000.0.

467
00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:04,559
If you use Uber or Lyft,

468
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:07,980
Lyft is starting to do something unique with

469
00:18:07,980 --> 00:18:10,720
its app. It's made a major update.

470
00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:13,359
They've given you the ability

471
00:18:13,660 --> 00:18:15,440
to give a much better

472
00:18:15,980 --> 00:18:16,480
review,

473
00:18:17,615 --> 00:18:20,035
And you have the ability to favorite

474
00:18:20,815 --> 00:18:21,634
a driver.

475
00:18:22,414 --> 00:18:24,755
And you have the ability to block

476
00:18:25,695 --> 00:18:27,715
a driver. I have never,

477
00:18:28,894 --> 00:18:29,394
well,

478
00:18:30,654 --> 00:18:32,275
there was a driver in

479
00:18:33,250 --> 00:18:35,829
Miami that I had that I

480
00:18:36,529 --> 00:18:38,130
could have blocked, I would have blocked that

481
00:18:38,130 --> 00:18:38,869
I reported.

482
00:18:40,130 --> 00:18:42,150
Because it just drove life as an absolute

483
00:18:42,210 --> 00:18:43,910
madman even though I

484
00:18:44,450 --> 00:18:46,789
asked the gentleman to slow down.

485
00:18:48,125 --> 00:18:49,825
But I like now how they

486
00:18:50,444 --> 00:18:52,524
automatically, at least in this image show that

487
00:18:52,524 --> 00:18:54,204
you should do a 25%

488
00:18:54,204 --> 00:18:54,704
tip

489
00:18:55,484 --> 00:18:58,765
to your driver. And that's another whole topic

490
00:18:58,765 --> 00:18:59,424
in itself

491
00:19:00,049 --> 00:19:02,710
is the, is the tip economy

492
00:19:04,450 --> 00:19:04,950
that's,

493
00:19:05,490 --> 00:19:06,470
it's out there.

494
00:19:07,169 --> 00:19:08,710
Hey, we did get some boost.

495
00:19:09,089 --> 00:19:11,730
Thousand sats from RW Nash. He said, Todd,

496
00:19:11,730 --> 00:19:13,349
hope you get your fiber wired.

497
00:19:14,484 --> 00:19:17,684
Appreciate that. Also, I had a streaming sats

498
00:19:17,684 --> 00:19:18,505
that came in,

499
00:19:18,964 --> 00:19:20,804
from folks as well. Thank you for that

500
00:19:20,804 --> 00:19:21,304
support.

501
00:19:21,605 --> 00:19:24,005
Of course, we had some, PayPal donations come

502
00:19:24,005 --> 00:19:26,904
in. Curtis Parish, $5. Daniel Lamux,

503
00:19:28,180 --> 00:19:31,000
$10. Mike Dells World, $2. Christian

504

Pitrier, $3.

505
00:19:33,220 --> 00:19:35,000
Gary Ebo's $10.

506
00:19:35,860 --> 00:19:37,320
S g SJG

507
00:19:38,180 --> 00:19:39,400
Media LLC,

508
00:19:40,420 --> 00:19:42,279
$10. James Fletcher,

509
00:19:42,865 --> 00:19:43,605
$2.

510
00:19:45,105 --> 00:19:47,424
Silas, we wanna thank you for your streaming

511
00:19:47,424 --> 00:19:50,404
stats. Darren Schwartz for your streaming stats. Greatly

512
00:19:50,464 --> 00:19:50,964
appreciated,

513
00:19:51,904 --> 00:19:52,884
for your ongoing

514
00:19:53,265 --> 00:19:54,565
support of the podcast

515
00:19:55,265 --> 00:19:56,005
for sure.

516
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:56,980
And,

517
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,059
of course, we have,

518
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:02,880
the ability for you to to support the

519
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:03,380
show.

520
00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:06,340
And you can do that very simply by,

521
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,224
going to geeknesscentral.com/insider.

522
00:20:14,085 --> 00:20:16,585
And looks like the Umbrel has rebooted.

523
00:20:16,964 --> 00:20:18,265
Now the question is,

524
00:20:19,204 --> 00:20:19,765
will the,

525
00:20:20,805 --> 00:20:22,744
will the Bitcoin node

526
00:20:23,684 --> 00:20:24,184
smash

527
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,559
the database a little bit so we, can

528
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:29,700
save some space.

529
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,259
Time will tell.

530
00:20:34,399 --> 00:20:35,859
1,000,000,000 of Nvidia

531
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,599
AI chips reportedly sold in China despite The

532
00:20:39,599 --> 00:20:40,419
US ban.

533
00:20:41,774 --> 00:20:43,934
You know, this is not surprising to me

534
00:20:43,934 --> 00:20:44,595
at all.

535
00:20:45,134 --> 00:20:47,214
You know, they're gonna find a way to

536
00:20:47,214 --> 00:20:47,714
buy

537
00:20:48,335 --> 00:20:51,214
these chips because what they can't do on

538
00:20:51,214 --> 00:20:54,835
their own, they're going to steal, cheat, lie,

539
00:20:55,429 --> 00:20:58,089
rob. They don't care. They have no absolutely

540
00:20:58,950 --> 00:20:59,769
no ethics

541
00:21:00,470 --> 00:21:00,970
whatsoever.

542
00:21:01,589 --> 00:21:04,170
It should be expected at this point

543
00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:07,289
and the black market for these chips

544
00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:09,450
are going to suspectedly

545
00:21:11,414 --> 00:21:12,394
other countries.

546
00:21:12,775 --> 00:21:14,775
And I'll be honest with you. If a

547
00:21:14,775 --> 00:21:15,994
country is

548
00:21:17,575 --> 00:21:18,554
or a group

549
00:21:19,174 --> 00:21:20,394
has been detected

550
00:21:20,775 --> 00:21:21,595
doing this,

551
00:21:23,015 --> 00:21:24,634
there should be heavy heavy prosecution

552
00:21:25,589 --> 00:21:27,929
and heavy sanctions. We should not allow

553
00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:30,569
these chips to get into China.

554
00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:33,669
Even though Nvidia said, well, you know, even

555
00:21:33,669 --> 00:21:35,509
if a billion chips get in there, there's

556
00:21:35,509 --> 00:21:36,970
not a lot they can do.

557
00:21:37,269 --> 00:21:38,410
Well, is that true?

558
00:21:39,005 --> 00:21:40,684
Have you got it to the point where,

559
00:21:41,005 --> 00:21:43,404
the chips have to be authorized and there

560
00:21:43,404 --> 00:21:44,384
has to be authentication

561
00:21:45,085 --> 00:21:47,105
and there has to be proof of ownership

562
00:21:47,325 --> 00:21:47,825
and,

563
00:21:48,845 --> 00:21:51,245
IP logging and all the other stuff that

564
00:21:51,245 --> 00:21:53,825
should be from a security standpoint to ensure

565
00:21:54,490 --> 00:21:56,429
these machines are not being run,

566
00:21:57,369 --> 00:21:59,390
in, you know, in China.

567
00:22:00,329 --> 00:22:01,849
I know there's only so much they can

568
00:22:01,849 --> 00:22:02,349
do,

569
00:22:02,809 --> 00:22:03,309
but,

570
00:22:03,609 --> 00:22:04,190
come on.

571
00:22:04,569 --> 00:22:05,069
Let's

572
00:22:06,585 --> 00:22:08,744
let's make sure that the right people are

573
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:09,884
using these chips.

574
00:22:10,744 --> 00:22:11,484
T Mobile's

575
00:22:11,865 --> 00:22:14,845
Starlink satellite service officially launches, and

576
00:22:15,464 --> 00:22:16,845
if you have a phone

577
00:22:19,470 --> 00:22:22,669
that includes iPhones from the iPhone 13 onward

578
00:22:22,669 --> 00:22:25,549
and the Samsung Galaxy s 2021

579
00:22:25,549 --> 00:22:26,289
and older

580
00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:28,049
and Google Pixel

581
00:22:28,429 --> 00:22:30,349
phones going back to as early as the

582
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:31,329
Pixel nine,

583
00:22:32,029 --> 00:22:33,730
they're supported. There's about

584
00:22:34,575 --> 00:22:36,674
how many total devices? 60

585
00:22:37,375 --> 00:22:38,674
that are supported.

586
00:22:39,134 --> 00:22:41,454
Now here's the kicker. If you're on T

587
00:22:41,454 --> 00:22:41,954
Mobile's

588
00:22:42,255 --> 00:22:45,054
go five gs next or experience beyond plans,

589
00:22:45,054 --> 00:22:46,194
you get T satellite

590
00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:47,960
included for free.

591
00:22:48,339 --> 00:22:50,660
Other T Mobile customers can access to it

592
00:22:50,660 --> 00:22:51,480
for today

593
00:22:51,940 --> 00:22:53,480
for $10 per

594
00:22:54,019 --> 00:22:54,920
line. Now

595
00:22:55,460 --> 00:22:56,279
no data.

596
00:22:56,740 --> 00:22:57,480
This is

597
00:23:03,085 --> 00:23:05,585
only sending and receiving text messages.

598
00:23:06,204 --> 00:23:08,525
It doesn't offer any data or any other

599
00:23:08,525 --> 00:23:09,585
services that

600
00:23:10,204 --> 00:23:12,065
as comparably Apple supports.

601
00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:13,450
So,

602
00:23:14,309 --> 00:23:16,710
be aware of that when you get ready

603
00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:18,549
to pay your $10. It doesn't mean you're

604
00:23:18,549 --> 00:23:19,910
gonna be out in the middle of the

605
00:23:19,910 --> 00:23:20,410
desert

606
00:23:20,789 --> 00:23:22,490
and have the ability to,

607
00:23:23,349 --> 00:23:25,589
to surf Gate in New Central. You'll have

608
00:23:25,589 --> 00:23:26,089
to

609
00:23:26,695 --> 00:23:28,795
have a different solution for that.

610
00:23:30,934 --> 00:23:32,154
Clorox Clorox,

611
00:23:32,615 --> 00:23:33,115
the

612
00:23:34,934 --> 00:23:36,855
bleach company, I guess they sell more stuff

613
00:23:36,855 --> 00:23:40,775
than that, has sued Cognizant for 380,000,000

614
00:23:40,775 --> 00:23:42,055
over the 2023

615
00:23:42,055 --> 00:23:42,509
hack.

616
00:23:43,070 --> 00:23:45,070
Clark's is blaming them for the cyber attack

617
00:23:45,070 --> 00:23:46,529
claiming the IT provided

618
00:23:47,150 --> 00:23:49,710
handed over passwords to the hackers. So we'll

619
00:23:49,710 --> 00:23:50,849
see where this goes.

620
00:23:51,470 --> 00:23:54,109
$830,000,003

621
00:23:54,109 --> 00:23:54,849
80,000,000

622
00:23:55,394 --> 00:23:58,515
from a cognizant and includes $49,000,000

623
00:23:58,515 --> 00:24:00,055
in remedial cost.

624
00:24:00,515 --> 00:24:02,055
So we'll see how this lawsuit,

625
00:24:02,595 --> 00:24:03,095
proceeds.

626
00:24:04,115 --> 00:24:05,414
The rumored DGI

627
00:24:06,035 --> 00:24:08,775
vacuum gets a launch date and official teaser.

628
00:24:09,279 --> 00:24:11,359
And it looks like the r o m

629
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,500
o, the Romo,

630
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:13,779
is arriving

631
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,339
soother sooner than expected.

632
00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:19,599
The video teaser was shared by regular DJI

633
00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:22,480
leaker Jasper Ellens and is apparently taken from

634
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,539
the official Chinese

635
00:24:23,884 --> 00:24:25,264
DJI Romo account.

636
00:24:25,644 --> 00:24:27,964
It shows two versions of the Romo side

637
00:24:27,964 --> 00:24:29,644
by side with a date and time of

638
00:24:29,644 --> 00:24:30,454
August

639
00:24:30,454 --> 00:24:31,264
6

640
00:24:31,964 --> 00:24:33,184
on 8PM.

641
00:24:34,204 --> 00:24:35,504
Look and see. Does it

642
00:24:36,059 --> 00:24:38,640
say how much the device is gonna cost?

643
00:24:40,380 --> 00:24:43,419
No. But I would expect probably upwards of

644
00:24:43,419 --> 00:24:44,720
close to a thousand

645
00:24:45,099 --> 00:24:45,599
dollars.

646
00:24:47,179 --> 00:24:49,259
I think this is great, to be honest

647
00:24:49,259 --> 00:24:49,919
with you.

648
00:24:50,265 --> 00:24:51,964
And I can't wait for the reviews

649
00:24:52,265 --> 00:24:53,005
on this.

650
00:24:53,384 --> 00:24:55,644
I my loft is very very complicated

651
00:24:57,144 --> 00:24:58,045
for a

652
00:24:58,744 --> 00:25:00,765
robot to vacuum. There's

653
00:25:01,945 --> 00:25:04,045
there's throw rugs. There are

654
00:25:05,049 --> 00:25:06,109
with some with

655
00:25:06,809 --> 00:25:08,490
that are plush and some that are flat

656
00:25:08,490 --> 00:25:10,830
and then there's a flat services

657
00:25:11,369 --> 00:25:12,109
with tile

658
00:25:12,730 --> 00:25:13,230
and

659
00:25:13,529 --> 00:25:14,910
it it basically

660
00:25:16,664 --> 00:25:17,884
and and a lot of obstacles.

661
00:25:18,265 --> 00:25:20,365
And if this thing is good at obstacle

662
00:25:20,424 --> 00:25:20,924
avoidance,

663
00:25:22,105 --> 00:25:23,085
I will be

664
00:25:24,265 --> 00:25:26,505
very inclined and maybe pick one of these

665
00:25:26,505 --> 00:25:27,005
up

666
00:25:27,305 --> 00:25:28,285
at some point,

667
00:25:28,904 --> 00:25:29,805
in the future.

668
00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:32,740
But it will we'll see. We'll see what

669
00:25:32,740 --> 00:25:33,880
happens with this.

670
00:25:34,340 --> 00:25:35,559
Apple has introduced

671
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:37,160
the AppleCare

672
00:25:38,019 --> 00:25:40,840
one plan streaming coverage into a single plan

673
00:25:41,220 --> 00:25:43,914
with incredible value. Now, you know, this really

674
00:25:43,914 --> 00:25:45,914
won't from will will not work for me

675
00:25:45,914 --> 00:25:47,455
because of the number of devices.

676
00:25:48,154 --> 00:25:50,335
But if you if you have a tablet,

677
00:25:51,434 --> 00:25:52,734
if you have a

678
00:25:53,035 --> 00:25:53,535
iPhone

679
00:25:54,234 --> 00:25:56,015
and a computer,

680
00:25:57,170 --> 00:25:58,470
you get three devices.

681
00:26:00,690 --> 00:26:02,210
For $19.99

682
00:26:02,210 --> 00:26:04,289
per month, customers can protect up to three

683
00:26:04,289 --> 00:26:07,009
devices in one plan with the option to

684
00:26:07,009 --> 00:26:09,569
add more at any time for $5.99

685
00:26:09,569 --> 00:26:10,309
per month.

686
00:26:10,865 --> 00:26:12,625
So I guess one will have to do

687
00:26:12,625 --> 00:26:13,684
the math here

688
00:26:14,305 --> 00:26:17,345
to see what the delta is between buying

689
00:26:17,345 --> 00:26:18,965
Apple. So I don't buy AppleCare

690
00:26:20,305 --> 00:26:21,445
for my iPhones.

691
00:26:21,984 --> 00:26:23,924
And here's the reason why.

692
00:26:25,740 --> 00:26:26,240
I

693
00:26:26,860 --> 00:26:27,360
essentially

694
00:26:28,460 --> 00:26:31,500
pay outright cash or my company does for

695
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:33,259
the iPhone. So if I break it, drop

696
00:26:33,259 --> 00:26:33,759
it,

697
00:26:34,619 --> 00:26:36,240
it's gonna be on me

698
00:26:36,619 --> 00:26:37,680
to get it repaired.

699
00:26:38,224 --> 00:26:39,285
I've been using,

700
00:26:39,984 --> 00:26:40,884
Apple TVs

701
00:26:41,424 --> 00:26:42,644
and other devices

702
00:26:43,265 --> 00:26:46,085
long enough to know they just don't break.

703
00:26:46,625 --> 00:26:47,365
They don't.

704
00:26:48,305 --> 00:26:50,244
I typically will put AppleCare

705
00:26:50,545 --> 00:26:51,285
on tablets

706
00:26:51,825 --> 00:26:52,724
and on

707
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:53,940
laptops

708
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,920
and and I don't even put AppleCare on

709
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,059
my Apple Watch.

710
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:02,480
The reason I do on tablets and on

711
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:02,980
the

712
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,080
on the computers is because you break a

713
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:06,580
screen,

714
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,660
it's paid for itself

715
00:27:09,244 --> 00:27:11,485
instantly. Now I've never broke a string a

716
00:27:11,485 --> 00:27:12,785
screen, knock on wood.

717
00:27:13,244 --> 00:27:13,744
But,

718
00:27:14,045 --> 00:27:15,565
you know, do you do the same? Do

719
00:27:15,565 --> 00:27:18,625
you only put AppleCare on your tablets and

720
00:27:19,725 --> 00:27:20,445
on your,

721
00:27:21,244 --> 00:27:21,985
your computers?

722
00:27:22,525 --> 00:27:24,144
Or do you do your phones

723
00:27:24,789 --> 00:27:25,609
as well?

724
00:27:26,549 --> 00:27:28,309
And I know some folks if depending on

725
00:27:28,309 --> 00:27:29,609
how you're getting your iPhone,

726
00:27:30,069 --> 00:27:32,089
you may be required to have insurance

727
00:27:32,630 --> 00:27:35,190
and sometimes insurance through third parties like your

728
00:27:35,190 --> 00:27:36,089
mobile provider

729
00:27:36,390 --> 00:27:36,890
might

730
00:27:38,045 --> 00:27:41,325
be cheaper, but I'm not big into these.

731
00:27:41,325 --> 00:27:43,025
If I can pay once and be done

732
00:27:43,404 --> 00:27:45,565
or pay for a three year contract and

733
00:27:45,565 --> 00:27:47,265
be done, I'm good.

734
00:27:47,805 --> 00:27:49,644
By the time the computer is three years

735
00:27:49,644 --> 00:27:50,144
old,

736
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:52,960
you know, if I break it then I'm,

737
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,039
you know, probably won't feel bad in in

738
00:27:55,039 --> 00:27:55,859
buying another,

739
00:27:56,799 --> 00:27:57,779
another machine.

740
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,000
But, you know, I've got Macs that are

741
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,720
now that are, you know, more than Mac

742
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,480
Pros that are more than ten years old

743
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,734
that are that are running strong.

744
00:28:07,434 --> 00:28:09,835
And, you know, keyboard might have a little

745
00:28:09,835 --> 00:28:11,434
bit of an issue or something like that.

746
00:28:11,434 --> 00:28:12,255
And I use

747
00:28:12,634 --> 00:28:15,454
them in the studio in Hawaii to,

748
00:28:16,875 --> 00:28:19,375
basically be heads up systems for me

749
00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:22,440
in watching chat and different stuff that like

750
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,580
that that I'm doing.

751
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,680
New York is seeking public opinion on water

752
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,759
system cyber regulations and I think if you

753
00:28:28,759 --> 00:28:29,240
work

754
00:28:29,559 --> 00:28:30,700
live in New York,

755
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:31,660
especially,

756
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,700
and if you pay for water there,

757
00:28:36,275 --> 00:28:38,115
which I know some people are on on

758
00:28:38,115 --> 00:28:38,615
wells,

759
00:28:39,315 --> 00:28:41,875
they're really they've released a proposed cyber regulation

760
00:28:41,875 --> 00:28:44,914
cover water where corporations, cable television companies and

761
00:28:44,914 --> 00:28:46,134
other public utilities.

762
00:28:46,595 --> 00:28:49,095
But these are very minimum standards

763
00:28:49,789 --> 00:28:50,529
for improving

764
00:28:51,069 --> 00:28:51,970
water infrastructure

765
00:28:52,349 --> 00:28:54,369
and resilience against sophisticated

766
00:28:55,150 --> 00:28:57,569
cyber attacks on IoT devices

767
00:28:58,109 --> 00:29:00,210
and other, you know, other infrastructure

768
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:01,250
IP.

769
00:29:01,835 --> 00:29:04,075
I think this is a situation where the

770
00:29:04,075 --> 00:29:06,894
consumers have an opportunity here to say, hey.

771
00:29:07,355 --> 00:29:10,234
We want not just minimum standards. We want

772
00:29:10,234 --> 00:29:11,295
things to be,

773
00:29:11,674 --> 00:29:12,894
you know, want our infrastructure

774
00:29:13,275 --> 00:29:14,255
to be secure.

775
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:16,099
We really, really do.

776
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,320
And it's your chance to put input on

777
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:18,820
that.

778
00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:22,240
So, consider doing so. SpaceX has launched a

779
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,400
pair of NASA satellites to probe the origins

780
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,700
of space weather.

781
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,400
The twin spacecraft are part of the NASA

782
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,779
funded tracers mission,

783
00:29:30,144 --> 00:29:32,565
which will spend at least a year measuring

784
00:29:32,704 --> 00:29:35,184
plasma conditions in their regions of the Earth's

785
00:29:35,184 --> 00:29:36,244
magnetic field

786
00:29:36,704 --> 00:29:38,644
known as polar cusp.

787
00:29:39,184 --> 00:29:41,825
As the name suggests, these regions located over

788
00:29:41,825 --> 00:29:42,484
the poles.

789
00:29:43,265 --> 00:29:43,765
So,

790
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:46,460
for example,

791
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,880
an extreme geometric stream storm last year degraded

792
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,980
GPS navigation signals resulting

793
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:54,200
in more than $500,000,000

794
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,359
in economic loss. And I wonder how they

795
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:57,740
figured that, to be honest.

796
00:29:58,705 --> 00:29:59,525
In in the

797
00:30:00,465 --> 00:30:03,285
agriculture agriculture sectors, farms temporary suspend suspended,

798
00:30:04,545 --> 00:30:06,725
spring planting in 2022.

799
00:30:07,744 --> 00:30:08,144
And,

800
00:30:08,865 --> 00:30:10,945
so they wanna understand this. Now it's not

801
00:30:10,945 --> 00:30:12,725
going to stop it.

802
00:30:13,370 --> 00:30:15,070
When there is a solar flare

803
00:30:15,610 --> 00:30:17,309
and this happens, you know,

804
00:30:17,690 --> 00:30:19,789
there's only so much you can do.

805
00:30:20,090 --> 00:30:21,309
You just gotta wait

806
00:30:21,930 --> 00:30:22,910
until it dissipates.

807
00:30:25,065 --> 00:30:27,144
You know, it's this is they can study

808
00:30:27,144 --> 00:30:28,204
it all they want,

809
00:30:28,505 --> 00:30:29,804
but it doesn't change

810
00:30:30,505 --> 00:30:31,865
the simple fact that,

811
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:33,544
you're gonna have,

812
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:39,019
it's just gonna be an issue.

813
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,519
There's a interesting article over at Digital Trends.

814
00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:44,919
They're saying why home Internet beats five g

815
00:30:44,919 --> 00:30:47,179
hotspots for speed savings and reliability.

816
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,259
Well, I think we all know this.

817
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:52,894
But some people don't have a choice.

818
00:30:53,434 --> 00:30:55,515
Some people are on their five g networks

819
00:30:55,515 --> 00:30:57,535
in their homes because, like me,

820
00:30:57,994 --> 00:30:59,295
there is no Internet.

821
00:31:00,154 --> 00:31:01,674
And you if if you have a mobile

822
00:31:01,674 --> 00:31:03,835
device that has good connectivity, it's it's a

823
00:31:03,835 --> 00:31:05,990
great option for you. And,

824
00:31:08,690 --> 00:31:10,150
I mean, it may not be perfect.

825
00:31:11,569 --> 00:31:13,429
The the advice is get a STARLINK

826
00:31:13,730 --> 00:31:14,230
or,

827
00:31:14,849 --> 00:31:15,509
you know,

828
00:31:16,130 --> 00:31:18,450
like me, wait until hell froze over, which

829
00:31:18,450 --> 00:31:20,289
just recently did. It looks like I'm getting

830
00:31:20,289 --> 00:31:20,789
fiber.

831
00:31:21,445 --> 00:31:23,225
You know, again, I'm still shocked

832
00:31:23,924 --> 00:31:26,565
that I'm gonna get fiber. I'm I'm just

833
00:31:26,565 --> 00:31:27,384
blown away.

834
00:31:28,005 --> 00:31:29,545
And I look forward to

835
00:31:30,164 --> 00:31:31,545
being able to order fiber.

836
00:31:31,924 --> 00:31:32,984
I really am.

837
00:31:34,980 --> 00:31:35,480
So

838
00:31:35,940 --> 00:31:38,039
it's, you know, exciting time for me.

839
00:31:38,580 --> 00:31:39,799
But, we'll see,

840
00:31:40,420 --> 00:31:42,580
what happens here. Now one thing that I

841
00:31:42,580 --> 00:31:43,080
remembered,

842
00:31:44,580 --> 00:31:45,480
I did

843
00:31:45,860 --> 00:31:46,360
submit

844
00:31:47,234 --> 00:31:48,214
to Frontier

845
00:31:48,835 --> 00:31:50,295
to be put on a list

846
00:31:53,234 --> 00:31:53,894
years ago

847
00:31:54,755 --> 00:31:57,394
that I would want fiber if they brought

848
00:31:57,394 --> 00:31:58,295
it to my area.

849
00:31:59,154 --> 00:32:00,994
So I wonder if I had some neighbors

850
00:32:00,994 --> 00:32:03,329
that did the same. Again, how they routed

851
00:32:03,329 --> 00:32:05,509
it in my neighborhood is pretty remarkable.

852
00:32:06,849 --> 00:32:09,109
I could have been again a whole mile

853
00:32:09,569 --> 00:32:10,869
from the fiber connection.

854
00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:13,750
So

855
00:32:15,055 --> 00:32:18,255
maybe that, you know, maybe that influenced it.

856
00:32:18,255 --> 00:32:18,994
Who knows?

857
00:32:22,414 --> 00:32:23,875
Sam Altman did another

858
00:32:24,335 --> 00:32:25,394
had another comment

859
00:32:26,494 --> 00:32:26,994
about

860
00:32:27,809 --> 00:32:31,190
collectively deciding we're going to live our lives

861
00:32:31,250 --> 00:32:33,269
the way AI tells us

862
00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:36,690
feels really, really bad even to me. And

863
00:32:36,690 --> 00:32:39,169
he says it's bad and change and bad

864
00:32:39,169 --> 00:32:39,990
and dangerous.

865
00:32:42,315 --> 00:32:44,234
He was speaking at the Federal Reserve Banking

866
00:32:44,234 --> 00:32:46,555
event. He says people rely on Chatt GPT

867
00:32:46,555 --> 00:32:47,295
too much.

868
00:32:47,755 --> 00:32:50,954
There's young people saying say things like I

869
00:32:50,954 --> 00:32:53,434
can't make any decision in my life without

870
00:32:53,434 --> 00:32:54,255
telling Chatt

871
00:32:54,795 --> 00:32:57,329
GPT everything that's going on. It knows me.

872
00:32:57,329 --> 00:32:59,250
It knows my friends. It's I'm gonna do

873
00:32:59,250 --> 00:33:00,769
whatever it says. That feels

874
00:33:01,329 --> 00:33:01,910
and, again,

875
00:33:02,609 --> 00:33:04,630
are we doing this, ladies and gentlemen?

876
00:33:05,650 --> 00:33:07,990
This comes after new data found that ChatGPT

877
00:33:08,609 --> 00:33:10,049
received over 2,500,000,000

878
00:33:10,049 --> 00:33:12,585
prompts a day for more than 500,000,000

879
00:33:13,285 --> 00:33:13,785
listeners

880
00:33:14,724 --> 00:33:15,224
and

881
00:33:16,325 --> 00:33:19,224
last month following a major chat GPT outage

882
00:33:21,365 --> 00:33:22,424
the folks at TechRider

883
00:33:23,525 --> 00:33:26,349
wrote how AI is generally helping millions people

884
00:33:26,349 --> 00:33:27,250
get through life.

885
00:33:27,630 --> 00:33:29,309
And while that seems to be the case,

886
00:33:29,309 --> 00:33:31,150
there's also worrying number use the tech so

887
00:33:31,150 --> 00:33:33,230
much they can't cope with life without it,

888
00:33:33,230 --> 00:33:33,970
which is

889
00:33:34,349 --> 00:33:34,849
scary.

890
00:33:36,430 --> 00:33:38,605
The the writer, Tech Writers tech writer said

891
00:33:38,605 --> 00:33:40,605
during the ten hour outage, I received emails

892
00:33:40,605 --> 00:33:42,924
from chat GPT users who hadn't written emails

893
00:33:42,924 --> 00:33:45,265
in months without the help of AI.

894
00:33:45,724 --> 00:33:47,484
They use the technology to help them on

895
00:33:47,644 --> 00:33:50,144
with online dating and work and so forth.

896
00:33:50,285 --> 00:33:52,865
I still write all my own emails.

897
00:33:57,329 --> 00:34:00,789
Most emails don't require such a long response

898
00:34:01,569 --> 00:34:03,750
that I need chat g p t for.

899
00:34:08,144 --> 00:34:09,844
And it just feels so impersonal.

900
00:34:13,505 --> 00:34:15,184
And the number of emails I get on

901
00:34:15,184 --> 00:34:17,824
a daily basis are is probably down that

902
00:34:17,824 --> 00:34:19,284
I have to respond to.

903
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,820
It's probably under 50 a day.

904
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:24,300
So

905
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:25,820
I don't know. Again,

906
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:28,699
where are you on this?

907
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:30,140
Are are you

908
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:31,980
are you addicted

909
00:34:32,894 --> 00:34:33,954
to using ChatGPT

910
00:34:34,255 --> 00:34:34,994
for everything?

911
00:34:35,695 --> 00:34:37,394
Is it leaving you feel anxious?

912
00:34:40,414 --> 00:34:41,795
I I did a

913
00:34:43,934 --> 00:34:45,635
we we use

914
00:34:48,710 --> 00:34:51,530
a, a ticketing system. I think it's called,

915
00:34:51,989 --> 00:34:52,489
Zendesk.

916
00:34:53,429 --> 00:34:55,190
I'm not I can't think off the top

917
00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:55,849
of my head.

918
00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:57,690
Yeah. Maybe Zendesk.

919
00:34:58,389 --> 00:35:00,150
And we had a hell of a time

920
00:35:00,150 --> 00:35:01,050
getting the

921
00:35:02,054 --> 00:35:04,135
data exported out. Matter of fact, my son

922
00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:06,234
who's doing the internship with

923
00:35:07,175 --> 00:35:08,474
the Blueberry right now,

924
00:35:09,414 --> 00:35:11,734
wrote the AI interface and pulled the data

925
00:35:11,734 --> 00:35:12,234
down

926
00:35:12,855 --> 00:35:15,255
and, we got it in a CSV file.

927
00:35:15,255 --> 00:35:17,335
Matter of fact, they defaulted to JSON, which

928
00:35:17,335 --> 00:35:17,460
is

929
00:35:18,260 --> 00:35:19,320
kind of crazy. So,

930
00:35:20,019 --> 00:35:21,639
but we got things into it

931
00:35:22,019 --> 00:35:23,239
as into a spreadsheet.

932
00:35:24,420 --> 00:35:24,920
And

933
00:35:25,539 --> 00:35:26,920
there's literally thousands

934
00:35:27,219 --> 00:35:29,139
of customer tickets in there, but it also

935
00:35:29,139 --> 00:35:30,760
tracks things like missed calls

936
00:35:31,175 --> 00:35:33,014
and outbound calls. So you know, you had

937
00:35:33,014 --> 00:35:34,795
to do a bit of pruning.

938
00:35:35,494 --> 00:35:36,954
And we're using now,

939
00:35:37,574 --> 00:35:40,074
chat gpt to do data analysis

940
00:35:41,014 --> 00:35:41,994
on our tickets.

941
00:35:42,375 --> 00:35:45,449
You know, what's trending up? What's trending down?

942
00:35:46,230 --> 00:35:47,530
Where do we need improvement

943
00:35:47,829 --> 00:35:49,989
in response? In other words, tickets that took

944
00:35:49,989 --> 00:35:53,030
two, three, four responses to get a result.

945
00:35:53,030 --> 00:35:54,949
How you know, every time a ticket has

946
00:35:54,949 --> 00:35:56,969
to be respond to, that's more time

947
00:35:57,269 --> 00:35:58,090
that my

948
00:35:59,025 --> 00:36:00,964
support team could be doing other things.

949
00:36:01,264 --> 00:36:04,324
So we're we're building a data set

950
00:36:05,184 --> 00:36:07,444
that's going to allow us to address

951
00:36:08,144 --> 00:36:08,644
specific

952
00:36:09,264 --> 00:36:10,484
nuance issues.

953
00:36:10,944 --> 00:36:12,964
And again, if let's say I got

954
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:14,300
over a year,

955
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,700
twenty five tickets on a specific topic.

956
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:20,780
Well, then I can build

957
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,420
a dedicated auto response

958
00:36:24,119 --> 00:36:26,059
to that specific topic.

959
00:36:27,224 --> 00:36:28,284
Do that once.

960
00:36:28,664 --> 00:36:30,344
Have it ready to go to cut and

961
00:36:30,344 --> 00:36:31,784
paste and put in the system. At the

962
00:36:31,784 --> 00:36:32,525
same time

963
00:36:32,904 --> 00:36:33,885
you can build

964
00:36:35,625 --> 00:36:37,704
fixes in the system. If there's something that

965
00:36:37,704 --> 00:36:40,204
is repeated the customer is having issue with

966
00:36:40,910 --> 00:36:43,070
whatever the topic may be, you can say,

967
00:36:43,070 --> 00:36:45,150
okay. Let's spend a little dev time here

968
00:36:45,150 --> 00:36:46,450
and and make improvements.

969
00:36:48,269 --> 00:36:48,930
I probably

970
00:36:50,110 --> 00:36:53,410
in this initial run of data research, which

971
00:36:53,784 --> 00:36:55,704
I didn't spend a lot of time on.

972
00:36:55,704 --> 00:36:57,625
It was kind of like a maybe a

973
00:36:57,625 --> 00:36:59,565
fifteen to twenty minute quick look,

974
00:37:00,505 --> 00:37:02,184
which I'm gonna spend more time next week

975
00:37:02,184 --> 00:37:03,885
doing a deep, deep, deep dive.

976
00:37:04,985 --> 00:37:07,160
And I got some some stuff that's maybe

977
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,400
a That's worth you know, we're gonna need

978
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,460
to take a look at that.

979
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,400
So I think it can be used in

980
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,180
reasonable ways to help you

981
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,180
make a good decisions

982
00:37:19,559 --> 00:37:21,980
in your business environment, but I don't know

983
00:37:22,335 --> 00:37:23,594
about shit

984
00:37:23,934 --> 00:37:25,155
again, writing emails.

985
00:37:25,695 --> 00:37:27,054
I'm seeing a lot of emails come into

986
00:37:27,054 --> 00:37:29,715
my inbox, so they're definitely written by

987
00:37:30,255 --> 00:37:31,315
a bot, especially,

988
00:37:31,855 --> 00:37:33,795
folks that are looking to do my business.

989
00:37:34,670 --> 00:37:36,989
People that are doing business development, trying to

990
00:37:36,989 --> 00:37:37,809
get you leads,

991
00:37:38,110 --> 00:37:40,210
all those emails are nearly identical.

992
00:37:41,710 --> 00:37:44,750
Microsoft SharePoint attack now sees victim count rising

993
00:37:44,750 --> 00:37:48,369
to 400 organizations including a US nuclear agency.

994
00:37:49,364 --> 00:37:50,105
So again,

995
00:37:50,965 --> 00:37:51,864
this is bad.

996
00:37:52,965 --> 00:37:56,244
The hackers named Linen Typhoon, Violet Typhoon, and

997
00:37:56,244 --> 00:37:57,864
Storm twenty six zero three

998
00:37:58,164 --> 00:38:00,184
are primarily coming out of,

999
00:38:00,485 --> 00:38:01,304
of China.

1000
00:38:01,820 --> 00:38:04,380
So again, up to 400 organizations have been

1001
00:38:04,380 --> 00:38:05,440
affected already.

1002
00:38:07,019 --> 00:38:07,840
Now IRobot

1003
00:38:08,219 --> 00:38:10,880
has a new Roomba as well.

1004
00:38:11,260 --> 00:38:13,579
The Roomba Max seven zero five combo will

1005
00:38:13,579 --> 00:38:16,139
automatically deploy a mop cover to prevent your

1006
00:38:16,139 --> 00:38:17,599
carpet from getting wet.

1007
00:38:18,195 --> 00:38:20,195
So if it transitions from a hard floor

1008
00:38:20,195 --> 00:38:21,815
to a carpet,

1009
00:38:22,275 --> 00:38:24,215
I really don't need a mop

1010
00:38:24,515 --> 00:38:25,255
per se.

1011
00:38:26,355 --> 00:38:26,855
But,

1012
00:38:28,275 --> 00:38:30,215
you know, it's one thing about these devices

1013
00:38:30,275 --> 00:38:31,715
and, you know, I kind of talked about

1014
00:38:31,715 --> 00:38:33,869
a little bit earlier here. It's best if

1015
00:38:33,869 --> 00:38:35,809
you have all carpet or no carpet,

1016
00:38:36,190 --> 00:38:38,510
but I know most people don't live in

1017
00:38:38,510 --> 00:38:39,969
that type of environment.

1018
00:38:41,869 --> 00:38:44,369
A Swiss startup says its AI weather forecaster

1019
00:38:44,429 --> 00:38:45,969
beats Microsoft and Google

1020
00:38:46,670 --> 00:38:48,369
and Swiss startup

1021
00:38:49,804 --> 00:38:51,424
Jua, j u a,

1022
00:38:51,724 --> 00:38:53,984
Jua has launched a weather model,

1023
00:38:54,684 --> 00:38:55,904
claims it's

1024
00:38:56,204 --> 00:38:59,085
faster and more accurate than most Microsoft Aurora

1025
00:38:59,085 --> 00:39:00,944
and Google DeepMind Graphcast

1026
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:05,239
in separate peer to peer reviewed studies.

1027
00:39:06,099 --> 00:39:08,340
So they back up this bold claim within

1028
00:39:08,340 --> 00:39:10,340
a report published today that puts the EP

1029
00:39:10,340 --> 00:39:12,440
two head to head with top tier models.

1030
00:39:13,140 --> 00:39:16,224
According to paper, delivering the most accurate forecast

1031
00:39:16,285 --> 00:39:19,164
around the world, it beat Aurora on key

1032
00:39:19,164 --> 00:39:21,965
variables like 10 meter wind speed and two

1033
00:39:21,965 --> 00:39:24,224
meter air temperature over ten day period.

1034
00:39:25,565 --> 00:39:27,324
Grand forecast 25%

1035
00:39:27,324 --> 00:39:30,119
faster and posted lower error scores of all

1036
00:39:30,119 --> 00:39:31,179
models tested.

1037
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,500
I guess we're not gonna need

1038
00:39:35,159 --> 00:39:35,659
meteorologists

1039
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:36,460
soon.

1040
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,339
That probably is not

1041
00:39:40,279 --> 00:39:40,760
a,

1042
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,500
unless you're gonna go into a sub

1043
00:39:44,315 --> 00:39:44,815
career.

1044
00:39:46,234 --> 00:39:47,534
A, I don't know.

1045
00:39:48,074 --> 00:39:49,514
This seems like a,

1046
00:39:53,755 --> 00:39:54,894
a heavily affected

1047
00:39:55,194 --> 00:39:55,694
job

1048
00:39:56,154 --> 00:39:56,654
with,

1049
00:39:57,355 --> 00:39:58,174
with AI.

1050
00:39:59,289 --> 00:40:01,210
Apparently, Google Assistant has been having a rough

1051
00:40:01,210 --> 00:40:03,369
few weeks and Google actually responded and said,

1052
00:40:03,369 --> 00:40:05,529
yep. We see some see some issues. We're

1053
00:40:05,529 --> 00:40:08,409
addressing them. So if Google has been Google

1054
00:40:08,409 --> 00:40:10,269
Assistant has been a little bit weird,

1055
00:40:10,569 --> 00:40:12,510
this is they they know.

1056
00:40:14,155 --> 00:40:15,855
You know, I I don't use,

1057
00:40:16,635 --> 00:40:19,275
hey a l e x a and hey

1058
00:40:19,275 --> 00:40:20,255
g o o

1059
00:40:20,554 --> 00:40:21,295
l e

1060
00:40:21,674 --> 00:40:22,815
very often anymore.

1061
00:40:23,835 --> 00:40:25,855
Especially when I'm on travel, I don't even,

1062
00:40:27,219 --> 00:40:28,200
I guess, my

1063
00:40:28,579 --> 00:40:31,000
Fire Stick could respond, but I I don't

1064
00:40:31,460 --> 00:40:32,760
don't use it that way.

1065
00:40:34,660 --> 00:40:37,300
Dior has told customers that data was swiped

1066
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:38,840
in a cyber snafu.

1067
00:40:39,844 --> 00:40:40,344
LVMH

1068
00:40:41,444 --> 00:40:41,944
owned

1069
00:40:42,244 --> 00:40:43,545
Dior, the French

1070
00:40:44,005 --> 00:40:45,304
purveyor of overpriced

1071
00:40:46,404 --> 00:40:47,784
garbins and fragrances

1072
00:40:48,085 --> 00:40:50,904
confirmed in breach notification letter filed with California's

1073
00:40:50,964 --> 00:40:52,025
attorney general

1074
00:40:52,409 --> 00:40:55,210
that US customers' data had been accessed during

1075
00:40:55,210 --> 00:40:56,349
a recent attack.

1076
00:40:57,130 --> 00:40:59,929
So they didn't say exactly which data, but

1077
00:40:59,929 --> 00:41:01,869
accept that it was. So if

1078
00:41:02,329 --> 00:41:04,569
if you have a significant other or you

1079
00:41:04,569 --> 00:41:07,230
are the significant other, the shops at Dior,

1080
00:41:07,755 --> 00:41:08,255
Yeah.

1081
00:41:09,674 --> 00:41:12,335
They looks like they maybe have your info.

1082
00:41:13,034 --> 00:41:16,174
Tesla bets on bought smoke screen is political

1083
00:41:16,315 --> 00:41:17,534
and market reality

1084
00:41:17,914 --> 00:41:18,414
bytes.

1085
00:41:18,954 --> 00:41:19,454
Yeah.

1086
00:41:20,269 --> 00:41:23,230
Speaking to Tesla investors last night, CEO Elon

1087
00:41:23,230 --> 00:41:25,489
Musk was optimistic about the future.

1088
00:41:26,349 --> 00:41:26,849
But,

1089
00:41:27,389 --> 00:41:30,109
quick witted observers need to first point out

1090
00:41:30,109 --> 00:41:32,449
that when he started talking about optimists,

1091
00:41:33,114 --> 00:41:35,934
that definitely had nothing to do with Tesla.

1092
00:41:37,035 --> 00:41:37,434
So,

1093
00:41:40,235 --> 00:41:41,295
they know that

1094
00:41:42,075 --> 00:41:44,815
their profits had slid 23%

1095
00:41:45,699 --> 00:41:48,179
and we know that Tesla shares fell almost

1096
00:41:48,179 --> 00:41:49,000
7%.

1097
00:41:49,380 --> 00:41:50,280
I'm still,

1098
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:53,079
gonna bet on Tesla.

1099
00:41:53,380 --> 00:41:54,739
And, you know, I don't own any of

1100
00:41:54,739 --> 00:41:56,980
the stock. I can't afford to or own

1101
00:41:56,980 --> 00:41:57,960
any of the stock.

1102
00:41:58,340 --> 00:41:59,880
But if if I

1103
00:42:00,635 --> 00:42:01,775
if I could,

1104
00:42:02,155 --> 00:42:03,914
I would probably buy some of their stock.

1105
00:42:03,914 --> 00:42:05,514
Maybe a good time to buy when it's

1106
00:42:05,514 --> 00:42:07,434
down. I just you know, one thing is

1107
00:42:07,434 --> 00:42:09,114
gonna happen. This is gonna happen to every

1108
00:42:09,114 --> 00:42:12,315
car manufacturer with all of the incentives and

1109
00:42:12,315 --> 00:42:14,789
rebates and all that stuff that is being

1110
00:42:14,789 --> 00:42:16,170
afforded them going away.

1111
00:42:18,949 --> 00:42:20,550
You know, time will tell how this is

1112
00:42:20,550 --> 00:42:22,090
gonna ultimately affect them.

1113
00:42:22,869 --> 00:42:26,710
Intel has beat a shareholder lawsuit over $32,000,000,000

1114
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:27,530
stock plunge,

1115
00:42:29,025 --> 00:42:29,424
And,

1116
00:42:29,984 --> 00:42:32,385
a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit accusing Intel

1117
00:42:32,385 --> 00:42:35,025
of defrauding shareholders by concealing problems in business

1118
00:42:35,025 --> 00:42:38,565
where it manufactured chips for outside con companies

1119
00:42:38,704 --> 00:42:39,605
in their foundries.

1120
00:42:40,625 --> 00:42:44,630
And, we know that their stock sunk 26%

1121
00:42:44,630 --> 00:42:45,130
in

1122
00:42:46,150 --> 00:42:46,809
last August

1123
00:42:47,910 --> 00:42:50,329
and again of last year, not this year.

1124
00:42:50,869 --> 00:42:52,329
And with 15,000

1125
00:42:52,390 --> 00:42:55,210
layoffs and they suspended dividends in

1126
00:42:56,025 --> 00:42:58,424
hoping to send 10,000,000,000 in 2025.

1127
00:42:58,424 --> 00:42:58,924
So,

1128
00:42:59,704 --> 00:43:01,964
the lawsuit is not going to continue.

1129
00:43:03,224 --> 00:43:06,025
Google's tool for virtually trying on close is

1130
00:43:06,025 --> 00:43:08,585
now available in United States. It arrives with

1131
00:43:08,585 --> 00:43:10,284
better price tracking.

1132
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,039
So Google previewed a new a powered feature

1133
00:43:14,039 --> 00:43:16,359
that the company said was simplified online shopping.

1134
00:43:16,359 --> 00:43:18,460
The tool allows you to upload a single

1135
00:43:18,839 --> 00:43:21,159
full body photo of yourself. Now what do

1136
00:43:21,159 --> 00:43:23,159
you what do you wear when you do

1137
00:43:23,159 --> 00:43:23,659
that?

1138
00:43:24,785 --> 00:43:26,865
What what do you take a picture of

1139
00:43:26,865 --> 00:43:28,704
if you wanna see if something is going

1140
00:43:28,704 --> 00:43:30,164
to look good on you?

1141
00:43:30,704 --> 00:43:33,105
Do you wear a t shirt and shorts?

1142
00:43:33,105 --> 00:43:34,085
What is the

1143
00:43:34,545 --> 00:43:36,305
what is the what is the clothes they

1144
00:43:36,305 --> 00:43:37,985
want you to wear when you upload the

1145
00:43:37,985 --> 00:43:38,485
picture?

1146
00:43:40,539 --> 00:43:41,900
That is the,

1147
00:43:42,380 --> 00:43:45,119
the question here. One thing's for sure.

1148
00:43:46,380 --> 00:43:46,859
I've,

1149
00:43:47,420 --> 00:43:50,859
now at the 20 pound in weight loss

1150
00:43:50,859 --> 00:43:52,239
mark and I'm kinda stuck.

1151
00:43:52,605 --> 00:43:54,445
I haven't really moved in the last three

1152
00:43:54,445 --> 00:43:55,824
or four or five days.

1153
00:43:56,125 --> 00:43:57,644
So it's one of those times it kinda

1154
00:43:57,644 --> 00:43:59,744
happens when you're losing weight. You kinda

1155
00:44:00,284 --> 00:44:01,025
kinda hit

1156
00:44:01,405 --> 00:44:03,324
a you know, and and then it'll it'll

1157
00:44:03,324 --> 00:44:04,065
go again.

1158
00:44:04,859 --> 00:44:07,259
That sure is frustrating when you're stepping on

1159
00:44:07,259 --> 00:44:09,440
the scale every morning and logging your weight.

1160
00:44:09,819 --> 00:44:10,139
The,

1161
00:44:11,420 --> 00:44:13,179
I'm gonna have to order some some new

1162
00:44:13,179 --> 00:44:15,420
pants or dig I maybe have some pants

1163
00:44:15,420 --> 00:44:17,420
and I probably have some pants in my

1164
00:44:17,420 --> 00:44:18,400
closet that

1165
00:44:19,179 --> 00:44:21,275
will fit that when I got down to

1166
00:44:21,275 --> 00:44:22,574
a thirty eight before,

1167
00:44:23,755 --> 00:44:24,815
because I'm definitely

1168
00:44:25,114 --> 00:44:25,855
waist sizes.

1169
00:44:26,474 --> 00:44:29,214
The the pants that I'm wearing here that,

1170
00:44:30,074 --> 00:44:30,734
you know,

1171
00:44:31,434 --> 00:44:32,510
are are definitely,

1172
00:44:33,289 --> 00:44:36,269
requiring a few more belt notches and

1173
00:44:36,570 --> 00:44:39,130
scrunching of the pants. Fellas, you kinda know

1174
00:44:39,130 --> 00:44:41,610
how that goes. At least it isn't at

1175
00:44:41,610 --> 00:44:43,710
least the belt line isn't tightening.

1176
00:44:44,315 --> 00:44:47,055
But, yeah, I guess you upload yourself

1177
00:44:47,515 --> 00:44:48,655
and shorts and

1178
00:44:48,954 --> 00:44:49,855
a t shirt

1179
00:44:50,635 --> 00:44:52,255
and I show you what you look like

1180
00:44:53,195 --> 00:44:54,655
in a specific

1181
00:44:55,114 --> 00:44:55,614
close

1182
00:44:56,155 --> 00:44:57,934
that you may be looking to buy.

1183
00:45:00,070 --> 00:45:00,570
So

1184
00:45:01,030 --> 00:45:02,550
a little more on Intel, and I'm sorry

1185
00:45:02,550 --> 00:45:04,309
I didn't have this group, but Intel abandoned

1186
00:45:04,309 --> 00:45:05,210
European manufacturing

1187
00:45:05,510 --> 00:45:07,369
sites as part of the turnaround planned.

1188
00:45:07,989 --> 00:45:09,130
So this chipmaker

1189
00:45:11,414 --> 00:45:13,355
reported better than expected revenue,

1190
00:45:13,735 --> 00:45:16,295
but still suffered $2,000,000,000

1191
00:45:16,295 --> 00:45:18,474
in loss in the second quarter,

1192
00:45:19,015 --> 00:45:22,155
and which it attributed to one onetime cost

1193
00:45:22,375 --> 00:45:23,675
as part of the turnaround

1194
00:45:24,535 --> 00:45:26,849
plan. At the same time, Apple has released

1195
00:45:26,849 --> 00:45:28,630
the first iOS 26

1196
00:45:28,769 --> 00:45:29,909
public betas

1197
00:45:30,769 --> 00:45:32,230
and mixed reviews.

1198
00:45:32,609 --> 00:45:34,449
Some people are in love with the glass

1199
00:45:34,449 --> 00:45:34,949
effect.

1200
00:45:35,489 --> 00:45:37,190
Some people not so much.

1201
00:45:37,875 --> 00:45:38,375
And,

1202
00:45:39,074 --> 00:45:41,074
you know, it's coming whether we like it

1203
00:45:41,074 --> 00:45:41,815
or not.

1204
00:45:42,434 --> 00:45:45,235
And I've seen some stuff from folks that

1205
00:45:45,235 --> 00:45:46,295
are really really,

1206
00:45:47,394 --> 00:45:48,775
I guess for a better word,

1207
00:45:49,315 --> 00:45:49,815
troubled

1208
00:45:50,835 --> 00:45:51,974
in that they

1209
00:45:53,789 --> 00:45:55,570
they're going to have to

1210
00:45:56,269 --> 00:45:56,769
rework

1211
00:45:57,869 --> 00:45:59,630
some of the stuff in their in their

1212
00:45:59,630 --> 00:46:00,130
apps.

1213
00:46:02,430 --> 00:46:04,829
So there's lots of examples here that you

1214
00:46:04,829 --> 00:46:05,570
can see

1215
00:46:07,325 --> 00:46:09,885
in the two articles that I'll have linked

1216
00:46:09,885 --> 00:46:11,345
up in the show notes.

1217
00:46:12,045 --> 00:46:12,545
But

1218
00:46:13,405 --> 00:46:14,385
time will tell

1219
00:46:14,684 --> 00:46:16,925
on whether or not this is gonna grow

1220
00:46:16,925 --> 00:46:18,945
on us and whether people are going to

1221
00:46:19,405 --> 00:46:20,945
like it or not.

1222
00:46:25,119 --> 00:46:27,059
Google has a new web guide

1223
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:28,180
that

1224
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,119
it's a search experiment that organizes results with

1225
00:46:33,119 --> 00:46:33,619
AI.

1226
00:46:36,144 --> 00:46:39,364
So this AI powered featured web guide

1227
00:46:40,144 --> 00:46:43,505
is a Search Labs experiment that I wonder

1228
00:46:43,505 --> 00:46:44,484
if they're talking about

1229
00:46:44,784 --> 00:46:46,885
comparison to 11 Labs here.

1230
00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:49,579
There maybe that's who they're trying to compete

1231
00:46:49,579 --> 00:46:50,079
with.

1232
00:46:50,460 --> 00:46:52,940
Searchlight experience or wave go to test out

1233
00:46:52,940 --> 00:46:55,660
new ideas by letting users opt into those

1234
00:46:55,660 --> 00:46:57,820
they find interesting. The experiments can be turned

1235
00:46:57,820 --> 00:46:59,280
on or off at any time,

1236
00:46:59,684 --> 00:47:02,405
including things like Google AI mode, notebook l

1237
00:47:02,405 --> 00:47:05,864
m, filmmaking flow flow, and other niche ideas.

1238
00:47:08,005 --> 00:47:10,324
The web guide experience that varies on the

1239
00:47:10,324 --> 00:47:12,724
fan out techniques or displaying search results that

1240
00:47:12,724 --> 00:47:15,559
Google is already using with its AI mode.

1241
00:47:16,820 --> 00:47:19,300
And, Google suggests the feature works well for

1242
00:47:19,300 --> 00:47:22,340
open ended search queries like how to solo

1243
00:47:22,340 --> 00:47:23,400
travel in Japan

1244
00:47:23,860 --> 00:47:26,980
or me even more complex multi sentence queries.

1245
00:47:26,980 --> 00:47:29,244
For instance, you could ask, my family is

1246
00:47:29,244 --> 00:47:31,644
spread across multiple diet time zones. What are

1247
00:47:31,644 --> 00:47:33,425
the best tools for staying connected?

1248
00:47:34,125 --> 00:47:35,485
Again, we know that,

1249
00:47:37,565 --> 00:47:38,385
other folks

1250
00:47:38,844 --> 00:47:40,144
are doing this already.

1251
00:47:41,130 --> 00:47:41,630
But,

1252
00:47:42,010 --> 00:47:43,630
again, this new web guide

1253
00:47:44,089 --> 00:47:45,949
is a new search experiment.

1254
00:47:47,369 --> 00:47:48,750
I I think they're worried.

1255
00:47:49,289 --> 00:47:51,369
I really am. I think they're worried about

1256
00:47:51,369 --> 00:47:52,829
their search revenue

1257
00:47:53,849 --> 00:47:54,989
going down,

1258
00:47:55,609 --> 00:47:56,109
down,

1259
00:47:56,505 --> 00:47:59,164
down. Now the president in a very interesting

1260
00:47:59,944 --> 00:48:03,244
comment said that AI companies can't be expected

1261
00:48:03,304 --> 00:48:06,824
pay for all copyrighted content used in their

1262
00:48:06,824 --> 00:48:07,324
training

1263
00:48:08,105 --> 00:48:10,364
models. Says it's not doable.

1264
00:48:11,119 --> 00:48:13,519
Well, I think lawsuits in progress are going

1265
00:48:13,519 --> 00:48:16,239
to figure out if that's the case or

1266
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:16,739
not.

1267
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaking at the AI summit, he says you

1268
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,579
can't be expected to have a successful

1269
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,199
AI program where every single article book or

1270
00:48:25,199 --> 00:48:28,065
whatever you've studied you're expected to pay for.

1271
00:48:28,065 --> 00:48:30,144
We appreciate that but you can't just do

1272
00:48:30,144 --> 00:48:31,684
that because it's not doable.

1273
00:48:32,224 --> 00:48:33,505
And if you're going to try and do

1274
00:48:33,505 --> 00:48:35,765
that you're not going to have a successful

1275
00:48:36,304 --> 00:48:37,925
program referring to

1276
00:48:38,224 --> 00:48:39,045
an AI

1277
00:48:39,505 --> 00:48:40,005
program

1278
00:48:42,230 --> 00:48:44,550
says we can't afford to fall behind the

1279
00:48:44,550 --> 00:48:47,609
Chinese because the Chinese are indexing everything

1280
00:48:48,550 --> 00:48:51,829
and stealing IP and they're definitely not going

1281
00:48:51,829 --> 00:48:52,570
to pay

1282
00:48:52,949 --> 00:48:53,449
for

1283
00:48:53,909 --> 00:48:55,130
a single thing.

1284
00:48:56,875 --> 00:48:57,534
I agree.

1285
00:48:57,994 --> 00:49:00,255
It that in that regard that the Chinese

1286
00:49:00,315 --> 00:49:02,074
are not going to pay for a single

1287
00:49:02,074 --> 00:49:02,574
thing.

1288
00:49:05,674 --> 00:49:07,674
You already heard my commentary at the beginning

1289
00:49:07,674 --> 00:49:09,755
of the show today talking about my thoughts

1290
00:49:09,755 --> 00:49:10,255
on,

1291
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,260
you know, again, I've given

1292
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,119
all of the AI models permission in this

1293
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:16,820
show to take this content,

1294
00:49:17,199 --> 00:49:20,180
take my website's content, to analyze it,

1295
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,519
to to be able to reference it back,

1296
00:49:23,519 --> 00:49:25,300
hopefully, to my site with

1297
00:49:26,394 --> 00:49:27,855
citations and links

1298
00:49:29,594 --> 00:49:31,375
because I know that this

1299
00:49:31,755 --> 00:49:32,734
this transition

1300
00:49:33,835 --> 00:49:36,635
is is going to continue. And I just

1301
00:49:36,635 --> 00:49:38,894
look at the queries that I've been running

1302
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:40,300
in operator

1303
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:41,579
on OpenAI

1304
00:49:42,199 --> 00:49:42,699
and

1305
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,280
things are going to change dramatically folks if

1306
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,139
it hasn't already for all of you.

1307
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,860
I was in a meeting today and

1308
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,480
the team members were talking about how they

1309
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,175
were doing certain things within These are very

1310
00:49:56,175 --> 00:49:58,434
very very very very smart people

1311
00:49:58,894 --> 00:50:01,075
doing a specific thing within Google

1312
00:50:01,695 --> 00:50:04,255
and they said yep. I can do about

1313
00:50:04,255 --> 00:50:05,135
25%

1314
00:50:05,135 --> 00:50:08,015
of my job helping me be more efficient

1315
00:50:08,015 --> 00:50:08,515
but

1316
00:50:09,750 --> 00:50:12,890
not everything is understood. The nuances are understood

1317
00:50:12,949 --> 00:50:13,449
and

1318
00:50:14,070 --> 00:50:15,929
that's where someone with a

1319
00:50:17,590 --> 00:50:19,050
with good knowledge

1320
00:50:19,429 --> 00:50:21,289
is gonna understand where the nuances

1321
00:50:21,590 --> 00:50:23,610
are and where something was missed.

1322
00:50:23,989 --> 00:50:24,489
So

1323
00:50:25,565 --> 00:50:27,025
the challenge will be

1324
00:50:27,485 --> 00:50:27,985
is

1325
00:50:28,445 --> 00:50:30,684
because you're gonna have super creative people creating

1326
00:50:30,684 --> 00:50:31,505
super creative,

1327
00:50:34,365 --> 00:50:35,664
basically queries

1328
00:50:35,965 --> 00:50:38,224
and getting responses and super

1329
00:50:38,765 --> 00:50:39,985
awesome interfaces,

1330
00:50:41,049 --> 00:50:41,549
who's

1331
00:50:42,969 --> 00:50:45,210
if that person's not a quality assurance person

1332
00:50:45,210 --> 00:50:47,529
and not the subject matter expert, how are

1333
00:50:47,529 --> 00:50:49,449
you guaranteed to get the best output? But

1334
00:50:49,449 --> 00:50:51,389
then again, how do you grow people

1335
00:50:52,089 --> 00:50:54,444
to become subject matter experts if all they're

1336
00:50:54,444 --> 00:50:56,204
using is chat g p t to get

1337
00:50:56,204 --> 00:50:56,944
the answers?

1338
00:50:57,324 --> 00:50:59,484
And they may not know that they missed

1339
00:50:59,484 --> 00:51:02,204
something in a nuance because they've not taken

1340
00:51:02,204 --> 00:51:03,425
the time to study

1341
00:51:03,964 --> 00:51:04,944
and to learn

1342
00:51:06,780 --> 00:51:08,000
what they need to know

1343
00:51:08,619 --> 00:51:09,920
to properly support

1344
00:51:10,460 --> 00:51:11,200
a client.

1345
00:51:12,619 --> 00:51:15,260
AI training is, at this point, not gonna

1346
00:51:15,260 --> 00:51:17,519
get it completely done. But in ten years,

1347
00:51:19,964 --> 00:51:22,304
maybe they'll understand the nuances better.

1348
00:51:22,684 --> 00:51:24,444
You know, it's gonna gonna be too long

1349
00:51:24,444 --> 00:51:24,944
where

1350
00:51:25,644 --> 00:51:26,545
you're literally

1351
00:51:27,244 --> 00:51:29,105
gonna be talking to your computer.

1352
00:51:29,820 --> 00:51:30,320
You

1353
00:51:32,219 --> 00:51:34,140
know, many of you probably already are. You're

1354
00:51:34,140 --> 00:51:34,960
gonna say,

1355
00:51:36,539 --> 00:51:37,039
computer.

1356
00:51:37,579 --> 00:51:40,000
It's gonna be too totally Star Trek.

1357
00:51:41,180 --> 00:51:42,559
It really, really is.

1358
00:51:45,235 --> 00:51:46,835
It's just like this query I wrote the

1359
00:51:46,835 --> 00:51:48,135
other day for operator.

1360
00:51:48,675 --> 00:51:50,375
I could have verbally said that,

1361
00:51:51,795 --> 00:51:53,494
let it go off and done the operation,

1362
00:51:54,434 --> 00:51:56,035
and then it could have reported back to

1363
00:51:56,035 --> 00:51:57,474
me, would you like to hear the results

1364
00:51:57,474 --> 00:51:58,454
or read the results?

1365
00:52:02,409 --> 00:52:03,230
It feels

1366
00:52:05,929 --> 00:52:06,429
like

1367
00:52:07,849 --> 00:52:08,989
we're going to

1368
00:52:09,369 --> 00:52:10,349
get to the point

1369
00:52:10,824 --> 00:52:12,824
where the levels of this knowledge and the

1370
00:52:12,824 --> 00:52:15,545
level of agentic AI and these next things

1371
00:52:15,545 --> 00:52:16,445
that are coming.

1372
00:52:18,824 --> 00:52:20,445
Again, if if you are

1373
00:52:21,304 --> 00:52:23,485
close to retirement, you're probably okay.

1374
00:52:24,025 --> 00:52:25,545
But if you are in the middle of

1375
00:52:25,545 --> 00:52:26,285
your career

1376
00:52:26,639 --> 00:52:27,139
and

1377
00:52:27,599 --> 00:52:29,139
you are not embracing

1378
00:52:30,079 --> 00:52:32,559
and leaning into this and not using these

1379
00:52:32,559 --> 00:52:33,059
tools,

1380
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,299
you're gonna wake up without a job.

1381
00:52:39,454 --> 00:52:40,434
You really are.

1382
00:52:40,894 --> 00:52:43,474
And, that's that's just a pure fact.

1383
00:52:43,934 --> 00:52:45,554
That's that's what's gonna happen.

1384
00:52:45,855 --> 00:52:47,534
