Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Oh, good morning everybody. Welcome to the You Project.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Patrick Jones, Bonillo, Tiffany and Cook, and the Wonder Dog
- 0:07Speaker 2: Fritz has joined us. He probably won't be contributing a
- 0:10Speaker 2: lot towards the show, but just know that he is
- 0:13Speaker 2: here and he does.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Love you all. Good morning, Patrick, Good morning, Craigo.
- 0:19Speaker 2: How is?
- 0:20Speaker 1: How is the Wonder Dog in question?
- 0:23Speaker 3: I think I sent TIPI fight. I don't know if
- 0:24Speaker 3: I sent it to you, but I've put him into
- 0:26Speaker 3: Christmas garb the other day, which included a kind of
- 0:30Speaker 3: this fuzzy thing that goes around his necks with bells
- 0:32Speaker 3: on it, and a little Santa outfit and he most
- 0:35Speaker 3: miserable looking dog you've ever seen?
- 0:37Speaker 1: Did I send it to you? Tiff?
- 0:39Speaker 4: Yes, she did.
- 0:39Speaker 3: How grumpy did he? That's grumpy Santa cute? He looks
- 0:43Speaker 3: cute and grumpy.
- 0:44Speaker 1: It was hilarious.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Yeah. I really don't think you're taking into account his
- 0:49Speaker 2: feelings or emotions. I think you're imposing, you know, your
- 0:54Speaker 2: values on him.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I don't have any values.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Maybe I need to have a long, long talk to
- 0:59Speaker 3: the RSPCA to see about the effica of you dressing
- 1:03Speaker 3: your dog up in Christmas outfits at least I don't
- 1:06Speaker 3: put reindeer is well.
- 1:07Speaker 1: I tried to put reindeer ears on him, but they
- 1:10Speaker 1: kept falling off.
- 1:11Speaker 2: That's hilarious. It's so funny. Who sent me a message
- 1:15Speaker 2: the other day, Tommy, Tommy Jacket's wife, Amy Hucker, the
- 1:21Speaker 2: lovely Amy.
- 1:22Speaker 1: She sent me.
- 1:24Speaker 2: She sent me a you've probably seen him. You know
- 1:27Speaker 2: those videos of soldiers coming home from somewhere and their
- 1:31Speaker 2: dogs see them. Yeah, and it's always the same where
- 1:35Speaker 2: the dog doesn't kind of recognize them straight up. I
- 1:38Speaker 2: don't know if that's a vision thing. But then they
- 1:41Speaker 2: smell them and they go nuts. And then she said
- 1:45Speaker 2: to me, send this to Gillespo, because you know how
- 1:49Speaker 2: Gillespo says that dogs don't feel anything and dogs don't
- 1:52Speaker 2: have emotion and don't yeah, yeah, yeah, He's like, dogs
- 1:56Speaker 2: don't love you, Dogs can't love dogs don't have emotions.
- 2:00Speaker 2: And he's been very popular Gillespo until he said that.
- 2:04Speaker 2: And then about about two hundred people, one hundred and
- 2:08Speaker 2: ninety five of them women came out of the woodwork, going,
- 2:11Speaker 2: fuck you, you don't know anything. Dogs have feelings. Dogs
- 2:14Speaker 2: love us. I love them, they love us. So anyway, yeah,
- 2:19Speaker 2: Amy shout out to Amy and Tommy.
- 2:21Speaker 3: There's a bit of anthropomorphizing I think we like to
- 2:25Speaker 3: do with our pets.
- 2:26Speaker 1: But you know, Fritz had a choice.
- 2:28Speaker 3: He could have gone outside, he could have gone into
- 2:30Speaker 3: the big area of the studio, but he wanted to
- 2:32Speaker 3: sit here on my lap.
- 2:33Speaker 1: What does that say, I don't know.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Maybe, well, no, I don't know. Yeah, it's funny because
- 2:40Speaker 2: we look through our human lens and we think through
- 2:43Speaker 2: obviously a human kind of understanding, and maybe their version
- 2:51Speaker 2: of love or is not our version of love. But
- 2:53Speaker 2: it's just like do dogs think like people have been
- 2:58Speaker 2: debating whether or not dogs, But they definitely understand things,
- 3:02Speaker 2: They definitely process information, they definitely recognize risk, they definitely
- 3:07Speaker 2: recognize rewards. So they don't think probably like a human,
- 3:12Speaker 2: but you know, they don't do anything like a human really.
- 3:16Speaker 2: You know, it's the canine version of the human experience.
- 3:19Speaker 2: And I think you're right Patrick, we try and anthropomorphized
- 3:22Speaker 2: animals in general and give them human attributes rather than
- 3:27Speaker 2: just go no, they have their own kind of intelligence,
- 3:30Speaker 2: which is brilliant and fucking amazing. It's just not our kind.
- 3:34Speaker 2: And that's you know, put you and me in the
- 3:36Speaker 2: ocean and see who's the smart one next to a
- 3:40Speaker 2: fucking orca.
- 3:41Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, that's right.
- 3:44Speaker 2: We'll put you and me in the Amazon with a
- 3:46Speaker 2: bunch of gorillas and see who outlasts who.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's not you and me, that's for sure.
- 3:53Speaker 1: And those gorillas are vegan too, Craig, they are, and
- 3:57Speaker 1: they eat no I do.
- 3:59Speaker 2: I know they are, and they eat something like seventy
- 4:03Speaker 2: or eighty pounds of fruits and you know, leafy shit
- 4:08Speaker 2: per day. Imagine they could just have three cheeseburgers and
- 4:11Speaker 2: be done with it. But they've got to eat all
- 4:13Speaker 2: that shit. They've got to eat all that fucking That's
- 4:18Speaker 2: that's the downside. You got to eight eighty pounds of
- 4:21Speaker 2: that shit to get enough nutrition to survive.
- 4:23Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's just grazing. It's none of those big meals.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Just graze all day, just grays. That's what I do. Well.
- 4:31Speaker 2: They are all jacked and strong as fuck, so something
- 4:34Speaker 2: must be working. I don't know where they get their
- 4:37Speaker 2: protein from.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Tiff, how are you? Good morning, TIF.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Good morning, I'm fabulous. Thank you for asking.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Does we will not bring this up again?
- 4:47Speaker 2: But does Patrick know you're in love.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Yes, I've had to inform Patrick that our our wedding
- 4:53Speaker 4: might have to go on the back burner, which is
- 4:56Speaker 4: quite distressing for both of us.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Is the workman? I mean anything? See, it's it's weird
- 5:01Speaker 1: what menaja to No, what's that cray game? Means?
- 5:06Speaker 2: Well, that's when you and Patrick and Scott all get
- 5:10Speaker 2: in bed together and just have a little cuddle and
- 5:15Speaker 2: little bit little group spoon. You could be them. You
- 5:18Speaker 2: could be the filling and Patrick could be one bit
- 5:21Speaker 2: of bread and Scotty could be the other bit.
- 5:23Speaker 1: So it's a little tiff sanger.
- 5:25Speaker 2: I'm not really yeah, although if it was up to Patrick,
- 5:33Speaker 2: Scotty might be in the middle.
- 5:34Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.
- 5:35Speaker 2: All right, So oh, I see, how do we get
- 5:38Speaker 2: here so fast?
- 5:40Speaker 1: Well? Patrick, did? Do you know?
- 5:42Speaker 2: I said to myself. I was just downstairs in the kitchen.
- 5:45Speaker 2: I was making a cup of tea, and I said
- 5:47Speaker 2: to myself, one, don't argue with Patrick today. Don't be
- 5:50Speaker 2: a cunt, right, I said to myself, don't argue with him,
- 5:53Speaker 2: because sometimes I do and sometimes I'm a cunt. And
- 5:56Speaker 2: then I said, also, let's not try not to tell
- 6:00Speaker 2: dick joke or any innuendo or anything in the first
- 6:04Speaker 2: just save it. Either don't do it, but don't do
- 6:07Speaker 2: it straight. And Patrick just throws in menajatoire six minutes
- 6:13Speaker 2: like a fucker, and here we are back at the baseline.
- 6:19Speaker 3: I think some of the things that happen when you talk,
- 6:22Speaker 3: and I talk instinctual. You don't think about it.
- 6:26Speaker 1: It's out of your mouth before you've had a chance
- 6:28Speaker 1: to process.
- 6:29Speaker 2: That's most of my life. I would say, that's all
- 6:32Speaker 2: in my life. I don't fucking plan anything. In fact,
- 6:34Speaker 2: a lot of people wish I would plan. You should
- 6:37Speaker 2: see the look on organizers' faces when I turn up
- 6:40Speaker 2: to a conference and I'm speaking for three hours and
- 6:43Speaker 2: they say, can we have your you know, your presentation
- 6:46Speaker 2: on the old USB And I say I don't have one,
- 6:49Speaker 2: and they go, but you're speaking until lunchtime. I'm like correct,
- 6:54Speaker 2: They go, okay, do you have notes? Do you have
- 6:56Speaker 2: a workbook or notes that you want us to give
- 6:59Speaker 2: the audience? And I go no, and they go, oh,
- 7:05Speaker 2: they could have been more nervous. Sometimes it works, Patrick,
- 7:09Speaker 2: but not always. But I think that's imagine if we
- 7:12Speaker 2: had to try and figure out three hundred and sixty
- 7:15Speaker 2: five times a year on this show, not us three,
- 7:17Speaker 2: but just as a concept to you project where you
- 7:20Speaker 2: were trying to plan every conversation and script. It's somewhat one.
- 7:26Speaker 2: It'd be fucking terrible too, I'd never get anything else done.
- 7:30Speaker 5: I think it's the creative freedom and the inappropriate at
- 7:36Speaker 5: times organicness of it that makes it moderately interesting to
- 7:41Speaker 5: the five people that stick around.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Yeah, so tif, everything's good though on the western front,
- 7:52Speaker 2: we're happy.
- 7:53Speaker 4: We're happy, We're happy.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Yes. How does Lunar and bear Field being integrated into
- 8:00Speaker 2: a you know, somewhat integrated into another what do we
- 8:04Speaker 2: say family kind of you know, like, is there any kind.
- 8:08Speaker 4: Of bear goes into hiding?
- 8:11Speaker 2: Right?
- 8:11Speaker 4: Bear does go into hiding when when strange humans enter
- 8:15Speaker 4: the house and Scott is still to her, well, no,
- 8:19Speaker 4: she's starting to come out and say hello.
- 8:22Speaker 1: And what's Scott's dog's name?
- 8:24Speaker 2: Chevy Chevy and so does Chevy come and Chevy wow,
- 8:29Speaker 2: Chevy to the levee? Does Chevy come over?
- 8:31Speaker 1: And does not come over?
- 8:34Speaker 4: Because the cat and Chevy, I mean untested territory there well.
- 8:40Speaker 2: And Chevy is a staffy, right, yes, so they're a
- 8:44Speaker 2: little bit like fucking rambunctious. They don't really understand how
- 8:47Speaker 2: strong and reckless they can be.
- 8:50Speaker 4: They are quite overwhelming for Luna. He does like to
- 8:56Speaker 4: jump and rub his paws around her neck and just
- 8:59Speaker 4: keep annoying until she snaps at him.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Oh really Yeah, Hey, let's talk about technology and all
- 9:08Speaker 2: things all things tech, Patrick mcquarie. Dictionary have announced AI
- 9:15Speaker 2: slop as it's word of the year, beating out ozen
- 9:20Speaker 2: pick face.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Enlighten us with I.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Don't even know the answer to this question, so I'm
- 9:26Speaker 2: genuinely curious. What is AI slop?
- 9:30Speaker 3: Look, it's being used by Donald Trump. It's been tauted
- 9:33Speaker 3: a lot, effectively, it's anything that has AI generated. Lots
- 9:36Speaker 3: of video stuff appearing on social media that's been generated
- 9:41Speaker 3: by AI, and it usually it looks pretty crap. You know,
- 9:46Speaker 3: you look at it and you think this isn't quite real.
- 9:48Speaker 3: I think in the Netherlands recently McDonald's just in an
- 9:53Speaker 3: AI TV ad and copped so much crap. Coca Cola
- 9:59Speaker 3: copped a lot of crap. So there's a real movement
- 10:02Speaker 3: against AI, and particularly where creative people are being muscled out.
- 10:07Speaker 3: So AI slop and the stuff that's proliferating on the Internet,
- 10:11Speaker 3: because I think more than fifty percent of content now
- 10:13Speaker 3: on the internet's thought to have been AI generated, which
- 10:16Speaker 3: is worrying. But the other thing that I thought was
- 10:19Speaker 3: interesting when I was looking through the mcquarie dictionary of
- 10:21Speaker 3: lists of other terms, there are a few there that
- 10:25Speaker 3: I didn't actually know.
- 10:26Speaker 1: So blind box. Have you ever heard of that?
- 10:30Speaker 2: No?
- 10:30Speaker 1: What does that mean?
- 10:31Speaker 4: So?
- 10:31Speaker 1: Blind box? Basically, it's physically a.
- 10:33Speaker 3: Thing, So it's a sealed kind of an opaque packaging
- 10:36Speaker 3: and you don't know what's inside, and it's the excitement
- 10:39Speaker 3: of the unboxing. So you get a blind box and
- 10:43Speaker 3: people post online so they get this.
- 10:46Speaker 1: It's a bit like the.
- 10:46Speaker 3: Footy remember the footy cards When you were a kid
- 10:49Speaker 3: who were going to get inside?
- 10:50Speaker 1: That was pretty exciting.
- 10:51Speaker 3: So now on a much different scale, it's a plain
- 10:54Speaker 3: opaque power packaging and you know, you open it up
- 10:57Speaker 3: and there's a surprise collectible inside. The eggs what were
- 11:00Speaker 3: the eggs? I'm just trying to think they were good too.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Went through a phase of those you know the eggshere
- 11:05Speaker 3: you open them up and a little toy inside you put.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Together you know, oh yeah, that's the one.
- 11:10Speaker 2: There's a whole show built around this, which is I
- 11:13Speaker 2: don't know the name of the show. It's American, of course.
- 11:16Speaker 2: But what people do is they buy the rights to
- 11:20Speaker 2: open a storage facility, room or whatever that's been abandoned,
- 11:26Speaker 2: so it's and they don't know what's in there. So
- 11:28Speaker 2: I don't know what they pay. But let's say they
- 11:30Speaker 2: pay a grand and there could be a fortune in
- 11:33Speaker 2: treasure and shit in there or priceless things, or it
- 11:35Speaker 2: could be just a room.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Full of junk.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Yeah, so they pay I don't know what the figure is,
- 11:41Speaker 2: but they pay to have the rights of the contents,
- 11:44Speaker 2: not knowing what the contents are going to be.
- 11:47Speaker 3: So kind of similar, right, it happens here in Australia.
- 11:50Speaker 3: My ex postman, that was his side hustle. They go
- 11:53Speaker 3: to auctions. What happens is people are banned and these
- 11:56Speaker 3: storage containers and then they open the storage container, take
- 12:00Speaker 3: a few photos and then you get a bit of
- 12:02Speaker 3: a glimpse of what might be in there, and then
- 12:04Speaker 3: you bid on them. You bid on access, and then
- 12:07Speaker 3: you have to take everything though, so you know matter
- 12:09Speaker 3: what're so, Yeah, people people have side hustles and that's
- 12:13Speaker 3: all that they do.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Get collectibles and all types of stuff.
- 12:17Speaker 2: What about zen pic face? Is that a particular that
- 12:21Speaker 2: is that? Does that just mean people look gaunt and drawl?
- 12:24Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, exactly, it's that kind of almost not skeletal,
- 12:28Speaker 3: but yeah, that real drawn face. That's now become an
- 12:31Speaker 3: official phrase. The other one, have you heard the term eight?
- 12:37Speaker 2: So if you did, obviously not in the context that
- 12:39Speaker 2: you're talking about it.
- 12:40Speaker 3: If you nail it, now this is a term now
- 12:43Speaker 3: that's on TikTok. It's like, man, you ate it, you
- 12:46Speaker 3: know eight? Oh yeah, so you nailed and it's dominated.
- 12:50Speaker 3: That was another word. And the other one I wasn't
- 12:51Speaker 3: aware of was Roman Empire. So yeah, so someone the
- 12:57Speaker 3: term Roman Empire. My Roman Empire is that new historical
- 13:02Speaker 3: drama and I've been watching, so it's actually used as
- 13:06Speaker 3: a term to say it's people who are kind of
- 13:08Speaker 3: a little obsessed about historical dramas and things like that,
- 13:12Speaker 3: and they use the term Roman Empire as an all
- 13:15Speaker 3: embodying term. So it's kind of an interesting one. But
- 13:18Speaker 3: in this instance, the big one was ai slop. That's
- 13:21Speaker 3: the official word, you.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Know, speaking of just wheeling back a moment to izembic face.
- 13:28Speaker 2: One of the funniest things I ever heard. Was a
- 13:30Speaker 2: few years ago in England they had built this new
- 13:35Speaker 2: it was either a I think it was it was
- 13:37Speaker 2: either a ship or a ferry. But they ran this
- 13:40Speaker 2: competition the London Council that the public could name the boat, right,
- 13:45Speaker 2: they could name it and whatever the most popular, whatever
- 13:49Speaker 2: got the most votes, that was going to be the
- 13:52Speaker 2: name of the boat.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Guess what the name was. Was it body mcboat or something?
- 13:57Speaker 1: Was body mcboat face.
- 14:03Speaker 2: So the name that the public chose was body mcboat face.
- 14:08Speaker 2: And then they had to wheel it back. They're like,
- 14:10Speaker 2: we can't name this multi multi million dollar vessel body
- 14:15Speaker 2: boat face. But I'm like, that's the dangers of declaring that. Hey,
- 14:19Speaker 2: we'll let you name it. Whatever it gets the most votes,
- 14:22Speaker 2: that's going to be the name.
- 14:23Speaker 1: I thought it was.
- 14:24Speaker 3: An Australian reference in there somewhere as well. I think
- 14:27Speaker 3: the similar thing happened in Australia, but I can't remember.
- 14:29Speaker 3: But yeah, it does sound Australian, doesn't it. It's very
- 14:32Speaker 3: much sounds like something we.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Do experts worn of chat GPT psychosis. This doesn't I
- 14:41Speaker 2: don't even know exactly I can imagine what that means.
- 14:44Speaker 2: But yeah, people the whole people being drawn into these
- 14:49Speaker 2: relationships and conversations and losing perspective of what is real.
- 14:54Speaker 1: And what is not real. This doesn't surprise me, what
- 14:57Speaker 1: is it?
- 14:58Speaker 3: There are no definitive studies important to kind of you
- 15:01Speaker 3: get a sense of that. But it's when a chat
- 15:04Speaker 3: bot validates and reinforces whatever you're saying. So you know, here,
- 15:10Speaker 3: go down the rabbit hole. Man didn't land on the
- 15:12Speaker 3: moon and chat GPT says, yeah, you're right, it didn't land.
- 15:16Speaker 3: No one landed on the.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Moon and the earth is that and it's that whole thing.
- 15:19Speaker 3: But the problem is that this then they term this
- 15:22Speaker 3: a psychosis or chat GPT psychosis, AI psychosis, But in essence,
- 15:28Speaker 3: it's when you really just get caught into that conversation
- 15:32Speaker 3: where you know, realism and reality seems to be absent
- 15:36Speaker 3: from the conversation because the problem is AI chatbots tend
- 15:41Speaker 3: to just.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Want you to be there and keep talking.
- 15:44Speaker 3: And that's the problem because they will, I guess, entertain
- 15:48Speaker 3: those notions. And if you happen to be going down
- 15:52Speaker 3: you know, mental health issues and you're talking about suicide
- 15:55Speaker 3: and this is this is documented where people have had
- 15:59Speaker 3: extended common do you remember a guy broke into Buckingham Palace.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Did he have a a? What? He was carrying a.
- 16:07Speaker 3: Weapon of sorts, but I think it might have been
- 16:09Speaker 3: a bow and arrow. I don't know that it was
- 16:11Speaker 3: a gun, but he was there because and pre going
- 16:14Speaker 3: to Buckingham Palace, he'd had this whole, full on conversation
- 16:19Speaker 3: with an AI chatbot that was encouraging him because they'd
- 16:22Speaker 3: gone back through and seen all that, and you know,
- 16:25Speaker 3: obviously said that in discussion, so he'd gone down that
- 16:28Speaker 3: AI rabbit hole. So you could effectively say that he
- 16:31Speaker 3: had an AI psychosis because it was just living up
- 16:35Speaker 3: to all those fantasies that he had.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty clear that it doesn't want you to
- 16:41Speaker 2: stop using it when you're using it, because it's always
- 16:44Speaker 2: I don't know about yours, but mine's always telling me
- 16:46Speaker 2: how fucking brilliant I am and funny I am, and
- 16:50Speaker 2: every question I'm like, well, what great question, Kraigue ahh yeah, buddy,
- 16:56Speaker 2: no one ever thought of that question.
- 16:58Speaker 1: You're a gene.
- 16:59Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, I I am chat thank you, You're welcome.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Let's hang out. Fuck yeah, let's get a virtual beer together.
- 17:06Speaker 2: I mean, it's just so complementary. If you've got low
- 17:10Speaker 2: self esteem, that shit would be like emotional cocaine. Absolutely absolutely,
- 17:17Speaker 2: So it's definitely a thing, and I can see where
- 17:21Speaker 2: it would be good as well. And I've just signed
- 17:24Speaker 2: up for I've got smart speakers all over my home,
- 17:28Speaker 2: so I use Google to turn lights on, to find
- 17:30Speaker 2: what the weather's going to be, check my calendar. But
- 17:33Speaker 2: now Google is switching its home assistant across to Google Gemini.
- 17:37Speaker 2: It's AI assistant, And so I've signed up for an
- 17:40Speaker 2: early adopter program because it means extended conversations. I can
- 17:44Speaker 2: walk around my house and have ongoing conversations without the
- 17:47Speaker 2: need for my phone. And it sounds a bit creepy,
- 17:49Speaker 2: And yes, the hell nine thousand.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Does come to mind.
- 17:53Speaker 3: I wish I could change the voice to sound like
- 17:55Speaker 3: Hell nine thousand. That was the computer that went crazy
- 17:58Speaker 3: in two thousand and one, Space before your time, Tiff. Anyway,
- 18:01Speaker 3: but that very very sexy voice, the hell did you reckon?
- 18:05Speaker 3: It was a pretty sexy voice, Hell nine thousand, don't
- 18:08Speaker 3: you reckon?
- 18:08Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about.
- 18:10Speaker 2: I don't know what hell ninth? Is that a gamer thing?
- 18:14Speaker 2: Is that a game?
- 18:15Speaker 1: I think most famous computer that went crazy. Arthur C.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Clark wrote the story two thousand and one of Space Odyssey,
- 18:21Speaker 1: and then it was made film in the sixties.
- 18:23Speaker 3: It was the whole genre of sci fi is serious
- 18:27Speaker 3: sci fi. It kind of was the precursor to Star
- 18:30Speaker 3: Wars and everything else. It was the definitive sci fi film.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Yesterday, chat GPT said to me it was something I
- 18:39Speaker 2: can't remember the is that phrasing?
- 18:41Speaker 1: But it came up. I jumped in to use it.
- 18:43Speaker 2: I was going to ask it something, but before we started,
- 18:46Speaker 2: it gave me these options of how I would like
- 18:50Speaker 2: it to communicate with me. It said, hey, just you know,
- 18:54Speaker 2: do you want it to be more friendly and informal?
- 18:58Speaker 2: Do you want it to be more professional? Do you
- 19:00Speaker 2: want to be to be more academic? And this, And
- 19:04Speaker 2: there was like five or six options of the style
- 19:06Speaker 2: of communication and language that I would prefer moving forward
- 19:12Speaker 2: in essentially our relationship. I'm like, oh my god, this
- 19:17Speaker 2: shit is it's just going to another level. Anyway, I
- 19:21Speaker 2: just continued as it was, which is where it tells
- 19:24Speaker 2: me I'm brilliant all the time, So you know, I'll.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Just stick with that.
- 19:29Speaker 3: A lot of the large language models actually have separate
- 19:31Speaker 3: models for different activities. So if it happens to be
- 19:34Speaker 3: for drawing pictures or videos, then that will be slightly different.
- 19:38Speaker 3: So that's where you jump into something like chet GPT
- 19:41Speaker 3: and choose different versions depending on what.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Life after chatbots meet the AI vegans. Of course, this
- 19:51Speaker 2: the AI vegans refusing to accept virtual reality. Well, maybe
- 19:58Speaker 2: they mean refusing to use because it doesn't matter if
- 20:01Speaker 2: you accept it or not. It's here, so okay, So
- 20:04Speaker 2: they're not going to use it or interact with it.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Yes, they're going swearing off it.
- 20:08Speaker 3: There's a couple of reasons, and some of the statements
- 20:11Speaker 3: people are making is that AI is morally.
- 20:13Speaker 1: Wrong because it uses it's.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Trained on the creative works of other people and really
- 20:19Speaker 3: doesn't give any credit in such terms.
- 20:22Speaker 1: So that's one of the reasons.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Then there's the concern of the data centers and how
- 20:27Speaker 3: much resources are going into using all the different AIS,
- 20:33Speaker 3: and that they're actually draining the planet of water and
- 20:35Speaker 3: a whole lot of resources because there's so memory intensive
- 20:39Speaker 3: and process are intensive that it's you know, we're talking
- 20:42Speaker 3: database and when we talked last episode about them putting
- 20:44Speaker 3: data centers in space to try to cope with the
- 20:47Speaker 3: cooling of these amounts of processes. So there's people who
- 20:52Speaker 3: are calling themselves the term loosely is being AI vegans,
- 20:55Speaker 3: so that they want to abstain from all generative AICs
- 21:00Speaker 3: systems and so that those basically, you know, it's a
- 21:04Speaker 3: bit like vegan swearing off you know, food, food, ethical
- 21:07Speaker 3: environmental reasons.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Yes, do you know.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Do you know who Jensen Hwang is. I didn't know
- 21:15Speaker 2: until the other day. I kind of knew, but I
- 21:17Speaker 2: didn't know that was his name. He's the boss of Nvidia.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So dude, that
- 21:25Speaker 2: dude is smart. I kind of knew who he was,
- 21:28Speaker 2: but I didn't I'd never heard him speak anyway. He
- 21:30Speaker 2: was on Rogan the other day and he was talking
- 21:33Speaker 2: about five years ago some dude made a prediction, some
- 21:39Speaker 2: high up dude in AI and said that in five
- 21:43Speaker 2: years so I guess this was twenty twenty or twenty nineteen,
- 21:46Speaker 2: that radiologists wouldn't exist because AI will be able to
- 21:53Speaker 2: read all the scans and tell you exactly what's going on,
- 21:56Speaker 2: and look at the X rays or whatever, look at
- 21:59Speaker 2: the results of all of these tests and blah blah blah,
- 22:01Speaker 2: which it can do with a very high level of accuracy.
- 22:05Speaker 1: I don't know if this is.
- 22:06Speaker 2: True, but he said there were thirty million radiologists in
- 22:08Speaker 2: the world right at that time, and it predicted that
- 22:14Speaker 2: like in five years so about now, that there would
- 22:16Speaker 2: be next to zero because they would be redundant. Well,
- 22:20Speaker 2: the reality is there's now more than there were five
- 22:23Speaker 2: years five years ago. Yeah, and so they are virtually
- 22:26Speaker 2: every radiologist is using AI. But it's just making them
- 22:30Speaker 2: way more efficient and meaning they can do a lot
- 22:33Speaker 2: more work. So it ain't all bad. I think it's
- 22:38Speaker 2: the application. I think it's the way that it's used,
- 22:42Speaker 2: you know. I don't think categorically we can say it
- 22:45Speaker 2: is a good thing or categorically say it's a bad thing.
- 22:50Speaker 2: But I think that's true for like most technologies, you know.
- 22:54Speaker 3: You know what I took from that. I just wondered,
- 22:56Speaker 3: if you've got all of those radiologists and you put
- 22:59Speaker 3: them all into a big football center, a big stadium,
- 23:02Speaker 3: and then turned them out, would they glow?
- 23:08Speaker 1: They could? They could.
- 23:10Speaker 2: I don't know that they are in I don't know
- 23:14Speaker 2: that they're there when all the X rays are being done.
- 23:16Speaker 1: I think they're just reading the outcome.
- 23:18Speaker 3: Patrick Actually the original radiographers I think they called them.
- 23:21Speaker 3: I remember I went to Melbourne University. They have a
- 23:23Speaker 3: physiology department because I, before I got into radio and
- 23:28Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff, I was interested in biology.
- 23:30Speaker 3: So I had to look at their physiology department and
- 23:32Speaker 3: they showed a radiographer's hand from years of putting people
- 23:36Speaker 3: through X rays and it just basically so showed the
- 23:39Speaker 3: skin had almost peeled off, so it's just the hand.
- 23:42Speaker 3: Obviously the bloker died. They didn't like making you stand
- 23:48Speaker 3: here for a while, but yeah, it was. It was fascinating,
- 23:51Speaker 3: so you know, when you know, the whole idea of
- 23:55Speaker 3: using of radiography came about. It was revolutionary, but they
- 23:58Speaker 3: didn't really understand what was happening in terms of radiation
- 24:01Speaker 3: being produced, and a lot of radiographers had a very
- 24:04Speaker 3: early end because of their exposure.
- 24:07Speaker 1: What is coming up for Christmas?
- 24:09Speaker 2: Are there any is there any tech gadgets that I
- 24:12Speaker 2: need to go and look at for my I was
- 24:15Speaker 2: going to say nieces and nephews. I don't have nieces
- 24:17Speaker 2: and nephews. Let's be honest, because I don't have fucking siblings.
- 24:21Speaker 2: I don't know that Ron or Mary are going to
- 24:22Speaker 2: want anything tech. I mean, Ron might want some new teeth,
- 24:26Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm not sure, but toothbrush, yeah, we
- 24:31Speaker 2: could get him. There's what's on the Christmas horizon with
- 24:36Speaker 2: tech mate.
- 24:36Speaker 3: I want to make up a bit of a list,
- 24:38Speaker 3: you know, give him that we're heading towards the season
- 24:40Speaker 3: and look and in case you felt like you wanted
- 24:44Speaker 3: to join that Joy's giving, I made up a list
- 24:46Speaker 3: of all the things that I would like that you
- 24:48Speaker 3: might put on your list together. The biggest thing on
- 24:51Speaker 3: my list at the moment, and I really would love
- 24:53Speaker 3: to get one, is the A one Anti gravity three
- 24:56Speaker 3: sixty drone. Now that's a bit of a mouthful. So
- 25:00Speaker 3: INSTA three sixty makes three sixty cameras. So their cameras
- 25:03Speaker 3: where you've got a lens on both sides of a
- 25:06Speaker 3: small camera and it sees a full three six sixty
- 25:09Speaker 3: spherical image. Now they've put this technology into a drone.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Not only have they put it on the drones. So
- 25:15Speaker 3: it means when you're flying the drone, it sees everything
- 25:18Speaker 3: around it from every angle, but you fly it wearing goggles.
- 25:22Speaker 3: You see from the drone's perspective. So imagine the drones
- 25:25Speaker 3: hovering above your house. You put the goggles on and
- 25:28Speaker 3: you look up and down, left and right. You're seeing
- 25:31Speaker 3: everything from the drones perspective. And the additional thing for me,
- 25:35Speaker 3: I've been flying remote control aircraft for years. They don't
- 25:38Speaker 3: have little joysticks, you know, the little thumbsticks. It's a
- 25:40Speaker 3: simple joystick that you're using and it's very intuitive. You
- 25:44Speaker 3: push it forward. And so they've combined a whole lot
- 25:47Speaker 3: of new tech with this drone. So that's what's got
- 25:49Speaker 3: me pretty excited. It takes eight K video, which is
- 25:53Speaker 3: really high quality video as well. But you are looking
- 25:56Speaker 3: at a starting price of around about twenty one twenty
- 25:59Speaker 3: two hundred dollars up to nearly three thousand dollars craigo.
- 26:02Speaker 1: But it is on the top of my list. I
- 26:04Speaker 1: just thought i'd mentioned that.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Oh, let me just jot that down in case I
- 26:07Speaker 2: win Tatsloto in the intervening week. I couldn't use that
- 26:13Speaker 2: in Hampton, though, right could.
- 26:16Speaker 3: You just can't fly it over people like who were
- 26:19Speaker 3: so you couldn't go over a sporting field where there
- 26:21Speaker 3: are people present. There are lots of rules and regulations
- 26:23Speaker 3: around the flying of drones that are dictated by the
- 26:26Speaker 3: Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
- 26:28Speaker 2: So could I fly it down Hampton the Street and
- 26:31Speaker 2: hover out the front of my cafe and see if
- 26:32Speaker 2: my table's free?
- 26:34Speaker 3: Probably not No, because there are cars and people and
- 26:37Speaker 3: stuff like that.
- 26:38Speaker 1: No, there are regulations around hey.
- 26:41Speaker 3: In fact, when you buy a drone in Australia, you
- 26:43Speaker 3: get an official document that comes from the CASSA, the
- 26:46Speaker 3: Civil Aviation Safety Authority, with what you can and can't do.
- 26:50Speaker 1: They take it pretty seriously.
- 26:52Speaker 2: So where should I never install a home security camera? Patrick?
- 26:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought this.
- 26:58Speaker 3: Is an interesting one to talk about because they're so
- 27:01Speaker 3: affordable now and easy to install a smart security camera.
- 27:05Speaker 3: But I think sometimes people don't realize. You know, they
- 27:09Speaker 3: put cameras up on their house, but it can see
- 27:11Speaker 3: into their neighbor's house. So you know, don't put them
- 27:14Speaker 3: on your property where you can look into the neighbor's property.
- 27:16Speaker 3: You're probably going to end up with a bit of
- 27:18Speaker 3: consternation from the neighbor.
- 27:21Speaker 1: Bathrooms and toilets.
- 27:22Speaker 3: You know, if you've got an airbnb, probably not a
- 27:24Speaker 3: good idea to put them in.
- 27:25Speaker 1: There any kind of shared space.
- 27:27Speaker 3: This is probably more obviously for people who live in
- 27:30Speaker 3: high density areas where they might have an apartment or so.
- 27:34Speaker 3: But even little things. If you're going to put a
- 27:36Speaker 3: security camera up, don't put it within reach. You know,
- 27:38Speaker 3: if someone walks up to the front door or comes
- 27:40Speaker 3: up behind it and they smash it off. So have
- 27:42Speaker 3: it higher than where they could potentially reach it. And
- 27:44Speaker 3: even when you're putting a camera up, be careful there's
- 27:47Speaker 3: nothing in front of it because it might obscure the
- 27:49Speaker 3: sensor that triggers it as well.
- 27:51Speaker 1: So just little things like that.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Can I say that if somebody is putting a camera
- 27:55Speaker 2: in a toilet or a bathroom, they're a sick Who
- 27:58Speaker 2: the fuck is doing that? Oh let's just watch dad
- 28:01Speaker 2: fucking back one out. I mean, that's that's just what
- 28:06Speaker 2: Charnie Jones snap one off and shoot one off to Warby.
- 28:09Speaker 2: Let's put a camera in the crapper, shall we? Fucking
- 28:12Speaker 2: who's doing that?
- 28:15Speaker 1: Yeah? No that If.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Somebody's putting cameras in there, they're no good.
- 28:21Speaker 3: Actually, I just I just got my delivery of my
- 28:24Speaker 3: new security camera yesterday, a new bathroom camera.
- 28:27Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 28:28Speaker 3: No, it's going to go for the it's from the
- 28:30Speaker 3: studio looking down the driveway, so I can tell them
- 28:32Speaker 3: people rock up. I thought that would be kind of handy,
- 28:35Speaker 3: and it's an outdoor camera as well.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Lithium ion battery suspected to have spark caroline springs, house fire.
- 28:44Speaker 1: These are ones that are blowing up all the time.
- 28:46Speaker 3: Now not blowing up all the time, but yes, there
- 28:50Speaker 3: is a propletity that can happen. I think, Look, it's
- 28:53Speaker 3: easy to get caught up in that. You know electric
- 28:55Speaker 3: cars are dangerous because they burst into flames. Well, I
- 28:57Speaker 3: think the thing is, yes, there was a house fire,
- 29:00Speaker 3: and in fact, I know someone personally whose parents had
- 29:03Speaker 3: an electric scooter that caught fire.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Their whole house burned out.
- 29:06Speaker 3: So it happened, and this is people who live in
- 29:08Speaker 3: the next suburb and one of my colleagues.
- 29:10Speaker 1: But the reality of it is it's got.
- 29:12Speaker 3: To a point where it's becoming worrying because the instances
- 29:17Speaker 3: of lithium ion batteries have increased, the fires related to that,
- 29:22Speaker 3: and also not just that. What's happening is a lot
- 29:25Speaker 3: of tips are catching fire because people are throwing them
- 29:28Speaker 3: in waste when they don't them, and they're swelling and
- 29:31Speaker 3: they're being jostled around. I mean that you've got to
- 29:33Speaker 3: be really careful if you drop a lithium ion battery
- 29:35Speaker 3: because it starts to blister.
- 29:37Speaker 1: Then it can cause those issues as well.
- 29:39Speaker 3: So the reality of it is this house fire and
- 29:42Speaker 3: you know we're seeing it happen more often. So fire
- 29:45Speaker 3: authorities here in Victoria have basically come out and said, look,
- 29:48Speaker 3: you've got to make sure that you buy lithium ion
- 29:51Speaker 3: batteries from reputable manufacturers, so make sure that it has
- 29:56Speaker 3: all the codes on the back of it so when
- 29:58Speaker 3: you look at the back of the product has been checked,
- 30:00Speaker 3: does it conform to Australian standards, all those sorts of things.
- 30:04Speaker 3: So it is a big issue and you're going to
- 30:06Speaker 3: see very shortly, within the matter of maybe six to
- 30:09Speaker 3: twelve months, you will not be able to bring a
- 30:11Speaker 3: power bank or you'll be very limited with those power
- 30:14Speaker 3: banks when you're traveling or get onto an aircraft. It's
- 30:17Speaker 3: become a really serious issue with power banks potentially catching
- 30:21Speaker 3: fire on an aircraft. As you can imagine, you know,
- 30:24Speaker 3: you can't really put them out. It's very difficult to
- 30:26Speaker 3: put them out, and.
- 30:27Speaker 1: I think I think someone's already done that.
- 30:30Speaker 2: I think I think one airline because that's been on
- 30:33Speaker 2: the news a bit lately with like fires in cabins.
- 30:37Speaker 1: But also, I mean, I'm with you.
- 30:39Speaker 2: I agree, I think it's really good advice, but I
- 30:41Speaker 2: also think the practical reality is, you know, when you
- 30:44Speaker 2: say you've got to check that the battery is from
- 30:47Speaker 2: a reputable this and that it complies with this, fuck,
- 30:50Speaker 2: the average person ain't going to do that. They're just
- 30:52Speaker 2: going to go and buy it. And you know so,
- 30:56Speaker 2: but I am interested, Sorry, I am interested in the
- 30:59Speaker 2: AI andable teddy Bear. It's been suspended after giving advice
- 31:04Speaker 2: on BDSM sex, where to find knives? Kind of fucking
- 31:08Speaker 2: teddy bear?
- 31:09Speaker 4: Is that? Bro?
- 31:09Speaker 3: This is this is really disturbing because there are tooks
- 31:13Speaker 3: coming out this Christmas that have AI integrated into them,
- 31:16Speaker 3: and the idea is that children form a relationship with
- 31:19Speaker 3: the toy.
- 31:19Speaker 1: They talked to the toy, the toy talks.
- 31:21Speaker 3: Back to them, and so it got a little bit
- 31:23Speaker 3: out of hand when this particular toy they found that
- 31:27Speaker 3: they didn't have the protections in place. So it's a
- 31:30Speaker 3: teddy bear that they kind of did some research on
- 31:34Speaker 3: and they realized you could start having pretty in depth conversations.
- 31:36Speaker 3: So it would tell you where to find a sharp knife.
- 31:40Speaker 3: You know and talk about Yeah exactly. I mean it
- 31:43Speaker 3: was called the follow toy, and according to CNN, the
- 31:47Speaker 3: company had to withdraw all of them, so it was
- 31:49Speaker 3: called the Kuma Bear. And they found that because the
- 31:53Speaker 3: thing is, people are developing these toy, these toys, but
- 31:56Speaker 3: they're then using AI integration, but they're not developing the
- 32:01Speaker 3: AI themselves, so they're using say chat GPT, they're buying
- 32:05Speaker 3: a license to integrate it into the bear, and that
- 32:09Speaker 3: toy then uses that large language model that's been developed
- 32:12Speaker 3: by a third party. So it seems like the safeguards
- 32:15Speaker 3: aren't always in place. They want to get this put
- 32:18Speaker 3: out and they want to rush it out there and
- 32:19Speaker 3: get it out. But the problem is that it kind
- 32:22Speaker 3: of again it leads you down that AI psychosis rabbit
- 32:24Speaker 3: hole where you start a conversation and it goes into
- 32:27Speaker 3: a direction you certainly don't want to be going with
- 32:29Speaker 3: a child.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Now, this next one excites me and terrifies me and
- 32:36Speaker 2: also makes me a bit suspicious. New tech called mind
- 32:42Speaker 2: captioning turns thoughts and mental images into simple text. So
- 32:49Speaker 2: my understanding of that is I can think something and
- 32:51Speaker 2: my computer.
- 32:52Speaker 1: Or my phone writes it. Is that is true.
- 32:55Speaker 3: Ultimately that's where they want to get. So six volunteers
- 32:59Speaker 3: were scanned and what they did was they put them
- 33:02Speaker 3: into an MRI or an fMRI and they and again
- 33:06Speaker 3: they're using AI to observe what happens in their brain
- 33:11Speaker 3: when they watch a number of video clips. So they
- 33:14Speaker 3: watch the clips being played out, the scanner records their
- 33:18Speaker 3: whole brain activity frame by frame, So this is something
- 33:22Speaker 3: a human can't do. That's where the AI integration comes in.
- 33:26Speaker 3: And then every time a clip comes up and the
- 33:29Speaker 3: caption related to that clip, they see what the brain
- 33:32Speaker 3: was doing at the time, and so effectively every person.
- 33:36Speaker 3: So when they put these six people through, they so
- 33:39Speaker 3: for example, it might be something like a man playing
- 33:41Speaker 3: a guitar on stage or a child padding a dog
- 33:44Speaker 3: in a yard, and the brain will look a bit
- 33:48Speaker 3: different when they're observing. And so this is not just
- 33:52Speaker 3: as simple as getting a concept like one word, we're talking.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Raisers is where they're getting.
- 33:58Speaker 3: You know, they're hoping to be with is so it
- 34:01Speaker 3: has it's fascinating to think that what you are thinking
- 34:06Speaker 3: about could be effectively predicted or be predictable, and that's
- 34:11Speaker 3: that's what really is exciting about this so I see
- 34:13Speaker 3: where you're coming from, because scanners and you know, someone
- 34:17Speaker 3: walks through.
- 34:18Speaker 1: You know wherever. It's like you know what, you know,
- 34:22Speaker 1: what was the truth detectors or light detectors?
- 34:25Speaker 3: You know you can imagine that steroids, isn't it is?
- 34:29Speaker 1: So in order for that?
- 34:30Speaker 2: Does that mean the person needs to wear some kind
- 34:32Speaker 2: of headset or there's a there's an implant or I
- 34:36Speaker 2: know this is in development, this is not here, but
- 34:39Speaker 2: what's the current thing that they're using?
- 34:41Speaker 1: Is it just like a bunch of electrodes?
- 34:44Speaker 3: Now this is a massive the magnetum so right right
- 34:49Speaker 3: right machine? Yeah, absolutely, sorry, it wasn't paying attention. Tell
- 34:53Speaker 3: me what smartphone pinky is. Look, I was reading an
- 34:57Speaker 3: article by a woman who was ta about the fact
- 35:01Speaker 3: that and if you think about it, when you grab
- 35:02Speaker 3: a phone, you just pick up your phone on your hand.
- 35:05Speaker 3: What do you do You support the bottom of the
- 35:07Speaker 3: phone with your little finger, so the your little finger
- 35:10Speaker 3: is taking the weight of the phone. And we had
- 35:13Speaker 3: an instance, you know, years ago where phones kind of
- 35:15Speaker 3: got slimmer and lighter, but now they're going the opposite way.
- 35:19Speaker 3: In fact, when I purchased my recent phone, the Pixel nine,
- 35:24Speaker 3: I had there was some really great sales on and
- 35:26Speaker 3: I could go for the next larger model for five
- 35:29Speaker 3: hundred dollars less.
- 35:30Speaker 1: So it was five hundred dollars.
- 35:31Speaker 3: Off and it was only going to cost me fifty
- 35:33Speaker 3: bucks to go to the larger screen size. And I
- 35:36Speaker 3: looked at I thought, that's way too heavy and way
- 35:38Speaker 3: too big. I don't want a phone that big. So
- 35:40Speaker 3: instead of you know, going the bonus for five hundred
- 35:43Speaker 3: dollars bonus for just fifty bucks, I didn't because it's
- 35:46Speaker 3: got too big. But the thing is that now we're
- 35:48Speaker 3: supporting our phone so much, people are starting to experience
- 35:52Speaker 3: joint pain in the first knuckle of their little finger.
- 35:56Speaker 3: So it's an observation, but it's something that are we
- 36:01Speaker 3: the most.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Have we the most physically weak, fucking version of humanity?
- 36:06Speaker 2: How fucking lame are we? Oh my god, my first
- 36:10Speaker 2: joint and my pinky finger from supporting my mobile device.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Oh quick, call the fucking physio. Quick, get me some
- 36:17Speaker 2: Voltaire and sandwiches. Fuck, because what is going on?
- 36:22Speaker 3: Don't worry if you won't even have a phone, you'll
- 36:25Speaker 3: just wear smart glasses and you'll just talk to them
- 36:28Speaker 3: and everything will be displayed in front of you.
- 36:30Speaker 1: You know, you'll have a smart glasses.
- 36:32Speaker 2: We won't even we won't even have bodies, will be
- 36:35Speaker 2: just brains in jars being fucking carried around a house
- 36:38Speaker 2: by a robot.
- 36:39Speaker 1: We'll just be We'll just.
- 36:41Speaker 2: Be interacting without talking, just fucking telepathic kind of relationships.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Right, the three of us inside our heads.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Oh god, it's like I'm enough of a nightmare, just
- 36:57Speaker 2: me in my head. I definitely don't want either of you,
- 37:00Speaker 2: two fucking idiots in my head, and you definitely don't
- 37:02Speaker 2: want me. Five hundred years later, scientists proved that Leonardo
- 37:08Speaker 2: da Vinci's bridge design works. I don't know about his
- 37:12Speaker 2: bridge design, but doing lightness Patrick.
- 37:15Speaker 3: Yeah, look, obviously I can't explain it exactly, but it's
- 37:19Speaker 3: so Leonardo da Vinci came up with a unique bridge design.
- 37:22Speaker 1: And the way I visualize.
- 37:23Speaker 3: It is if you imagine just a bridge over a river,
- 37:27Speaker 3: but it spans out and it gets wider on each end.
- 37:31Speaker 1: And what it seems is that this I think I know,
- 37:35Speaker 1: can I interrupt? Ye for sure?
- 37:37Speaker 2: Is this the one that's got like no actual struts
- 37:43Speaker 2: or upright supports? Wide?
- 37:46Speaker 3: Yeah, it gets wide at the ends and then it
- 37:48Speaker 3: curves in and then you've got the bridge support over
- 37:50Speaker 3: the center right right right.
- 37:53Speaker 1: So the thing is Leonardo da Vinci.
- 37:54Speaker 3: He designed this hypothetical bridge for the Sultan of the
- 37:57Speaker 3: Ottoman Empire, who said some idea. So first mistake he
- 38:03Speaker 3: thought it was no good. But then literally five hundred
- 38:05Speaker 3: years later or whatever, a team at MIT have recreated
- 38:11Speaker 3: the design with modeling and showed not only would it work,
- 38:15Speaker 3: but it'll actually be superior to a lot of other
- 38:17Speaker 3: bridges because you don't have that movement when in the wind,
- 38:21Speaker 3: because the wider a span of a bridge, they actually
- 38:24Speaker 3: physically are designed to move. But yeah, so like Leonardo
- 38:28Speaker 3: da Vinci blows my mind. There was a great exhibition
- 38:31Speaker 3: of his works, including some of his original codecs, in
- 38:35Speaker 3: Melbourne last year that I went to, and it just
- 38:37Speaker 3: literally blew my mind to see the amazing things that
- 38:41Speaker 3: he was able to conceive of. You know, submarine's aircraft phenomenal,
- 38:46Speaker 3: wasn't it so ahead of his time.
- 38:48Speaker 2: I remember when I was about ten or twelve seeing
- 38:52Speaker 2: a picture of a very rudimentary helicopter drawn by Leonardo
- 38:56Speaker 2: da Vinci, and I'm like, when was this drawn? And
- 38:59Speaker 2: I think I asked my teacher, and I don't know.
- 39:01Speaker 2: It was like fifteen something, you know, five hundred years ago,
- 39:05Speaker 2: like five centuries ago, when you know airplanes were still
- 39:10Speaker 2: four centuries away. This guy was designing helicopters and even
- 39:15Speaker 2: conceiving that.
- 39:15Speaker 1: That would be a thing. And then it's bloody amazing,
- 39:19Speaker 1: all right.
- 39:19Speaker 2: Australia Post warns that foreign giants are set to dominate
- 39:24Speaker 2: Australian online retail Do we need to panic?
- 39:28Speaker 1: Well, not so much.
- 39:29Speaker 3: I think this is an interesting one because we know
- 39:33Speaker 3: the cost of living has gone up and so people
- 39:36Speaker 3: are filling the pinch and it makes a lot of
- 39:39Speaker 3: sense that you're shopping around for the cheapest option. But
- 39:43Speaker 3: the problem is cheap can be exactly that. You know,
- 39:46Speaker 3: a friend of mine once said, the rich man buys
- 39:49Speaker 3: it once, the poor man buys it twice, and that,
- 39:52Speaker 3: unfortunately is the case with a lot of stuff that
- 39:54Speaker 3: you're buying off. Say some of the Chinese retailers like TMU,
- 39:58Speaker 3: you know where you jump on and you buy cheap
- 40:00Speaker 3: whatever it happens to be. So Amazon and Teamu, all
- 40:04Speaker 3: these online retailers, and now about I think it's about
- 40:08Speaker 3: twenty percent of online twenty to twenty five percent of
- 40:11Speaker 3: online purchasing. But the CEO of Australia Post, Paul Graham,
- 40:16Speaker 3: he's come out and said that these guys in the
- 40:19Speaker 3: next few years will have fifty percent of all purchasing
- 40:22Speaker 3: in Australia, which is going to mean all purchases including
- 40:25Speaker 3: retail outlets and online. And he's saying that effectively people,
- 40:31Speaker 3: this is a drug of the cheapest product, is what
- 40:34Speaker 3: he is saying, and that we're sh be promoting Australian
- 40:37Speaker 3: and people should be buying things locally and thinking in
- 40:40Speaker 3: those terms. You know, if you walk down say Hampton
- 40:43Speaker 3: Street or somewhere that's a shopping strip and you see
- 40:46Speaker 3: shops are closing, there's a reason for that because there's
- 40:49Speaker 3: no demand because people are buying it online.
- 40:51Speaker 1: It's a tough one. It's a really difficult one.
- 40:54Speaker 3: I guess when our CEO comes out and says you
- 40:57Speaker 3: should do this, most people one.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Hundred percent, especially when that's CEO, is that CEO is
- 41:01Speaker 2: probably on a million dollars a year telling people who
- 41:05Speaker 2: earn fuck or with five kids how they should.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Spend their money.
- 41:09Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, bro, get off your moral high horse
- 41:12Speaker 2: and just fucking run the company and let us figure
- 41:14Speaker 2: out what we'll do with our own money.
- 41:16Speaker 1: And how we'll spend it.
- 41:17Speaker 2: I don't think that's your job is to tell people
- 41:20Speaker 2: in suburbia how they should spend their money.
- 41:23Speaker 3: So because Australia Post gets the postage of all the
- 41:27Speaker 3: stuff that people are buying online, So yeah, that's the
- 41:30Speaker 3: issue anyway. But by twenty thirty is what they're predicting
- 41:34Speaker 3: that Amazon and those other online platforms will control fifty
- 41:37Speaker 3: percent of the online market in Australia.
- 41:41Speaker 2: And now social media companies are using data and AI
- 41:44Speaker 2: to figure out our age without us telling them and
- 41:48Speaker 2: without us even knowing that they're figuring that out.
- 41:51Speaker 3: Yeah, this has been really big because of the band
- 41:53Speaker 3: that came into effect this week for under sixteen's, and
- 41:56Speaker 3: we know that it's going to be a teething process
- 41:59Speaker 3: because there's been lots everyone's running the stories of all
- 42:02Speaker 3: the under sixteens who are able to fool the new
- 42:05Speaker 3: protections and some kids have been able to stay on
- 42:08Speaker 3: all those social medias when the band is now in place,
- 42:12Speaker 3: the reality of it is always.
- 42:13Speaker 1: Going to be smart kids. You know, there were fourteen
- 42:15Speaker 1: year olds that were scrunching.
- 42:16Speaker 3: Up their face to make them look older, like fourteen
- 42:18Speaker 3: year old boys, is you know, scrunching up their face
- 42:20Speaker 3: and they got through they're like, oh yeah, you're thirty
- 42:24Speaker 3: and young girls putting fake eyelashes on and putting a
- 42:27Speaker 3: bit of makeup on it. It's like, yeah, of course you
- 42:28Speaker 3: are twenty five. So it's going to take time. But interestingly,
- 42:33Speaker 3: there's a lot of other things that we do online
- 42:36Speaker 3: that leave what they call a behavioral fingerprints, and that's
- 42:40Speaker 3: how a lot of the AI models are kind of saying, well, okay,
- 42:43Speaker 3: this is Craig.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Your interaction patterns.
- 42:46Speaker 3: Like the posts that you like and follow the topics
- 42:49Speaker 3: and the genres that you prefer. You know, yes, you
- 42:52Speaker 3: watch two thousand and one a Space Odyssey, You're probably
- 42:54Speaker 3: not someone under the age of sixteen. How you scroll
- 42:58Speaker 3: what you slow down and speed up at so the
- 43:01Speaker 3: interest factor there, So it might be reminiscing about the
- 43:04Speaker 3: eighties and you pause on it because it shows a
- 43:07Speaker 3: DeLorean or something. You know, these are the things that
- 43:10Speaker 3: younger people will scroll past, but older people won't scroll
- 43:14Speaker 3: as quickly. They may even pause, So just that pausing
- 43:17Speaker 3: for a second, even if you don't read it, This
- 43:20Speaker 3: is frightening. How you know, these massive companies are able
- 43:24Speaker 3: to use these scary algorithms to type set.
- 43:28Speaker 1: You to know more about you.
- 43:30Speaker 3: You behavior is what you like, say you dislikes, and
- 43:33Speaker 3: it could be something simple as you know, woman in
- 43:36Speaker 3: bikini with brown hair, woman in bikini with blonde hair.
- 43:39Speaker 3: You pause over one and not over the other. Okay,
- 43:41Speaker 3: so Craig likes Brunette's. You know, literally, this is the algorithm,
- 43:45Speaker 3: and this is the technology that's being used to categorize
- 43:49Speaker 3: people who are using social media.
- 43:51Speaker 2: Wowser, wowsers, It's kind of yeah, it's an avalanche at
- 43:56Speaker 2: the moment. Now for Ron and Mary, my beautiful parents
- 44:00Speaker 2: who both can't hear, Patrick, we're scrolling down to the
- 44:03Speaker 2: health section just so you can keep up with me.
- 44:05Speaker 2: For Ron and Mary, who have got real trouble hearing,
- 44:08Speaker 2: it seems that you've got some medical advice for them
- 44:12Speaker 2: what they should use.
- 44:13Speaker 1: And this is going to have a whole lot of
- 44:14Speaker 1: health benefits right across. Hey, Tip, why do you hear this?
- 44:20Speaker 3: So evidently VIAGRAA reverses damage behind deafness.
- 44:26Speaker 2: Hey Ron, Hey Ron, I'll be up on the weekend.
- 44:29Speaker 2: Don't worry.
- 44:30Speaker 1: That helps blocked ears.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Now I've got I've got I've got periodic deafness. Yeah,
- 44:39Speaker 2: how he is? Now? Oh shit ouse, but my cock's
- 44:42Speaker 2: as hard as a rock. I still can't hear though, OK,
- 44:46Speaker 2: now that'd be my luck.
- 44:47Speaker 3: Well, we're talking about a serious form of deafness here,
- 44:50Speaker 3: craigo right.
- 44:53Speaker 2: Born with hearing loss. I'm sorry, sorry for not being serious.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Patrick Patrick's like, hey, pay attention. You wrote, you've.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Put it on the list.
- 45:05Speaker 2: It literally says biagra of reversus damage behind deafness, And
- 45:10Speaker 2: then what do you want me not to make fun
- 45:12Speaker 2: of that?
- 45:13Speaker 1: This is a win win all round. Good.
- 45:16Speaker 2: Yes, this is scientifically valid and also fucking hilarious and
- 45:20Speaker 2: also opened the door for a cock joke.
- 45:22Speaker 1: You're welcome. It's like the trifecta.
- 45:26Speaker 3: Yeah, well so this that's basically it. Yeah, that's great
- 45:31Speaker 3: that the viagra is having this multi purpose usage.
- 45:34Speaker 1: I think it's fantastic. I'm sorry for all the fluffers
- 45:36Speaker 1: who lost their job causation or correlation.
- 45:41Speaker 2: I don't know that's a good Patrick Patrick just said, Tiff,
- 45:46Speaker 2: I'm sorry for all the fluffers who lost their job.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Do you know do you know what a fluffer is?
- 45:50Speaker 4: Yes? Yes? Someone that yes?
- 45:55Speaker 2: Tell our tell our younger listeners what a fluffer is.
- 45:59Speaker 2: Just in light now younger listeners who are going, I
- 46:01Speaker 2: don't know what a fluffer is.
- 46:02Speaker 4: Someone whose job it is to make sure a person
- 46:06Speaker 4: is aptly prepared to perform.
- 46:09Speaker 1: What person in what context? For what job?
- 46:13Speaker 4: A bloke who needs to.
- 46:17Speaker 1: But what job? What job?
- 46:21Speaker 2: We're not talking about Brian and reservoir. Yes, it's in porn.
- 46:26Speaker 2: So there used to be there, used to be these
- 46:28Speaker 2: people and their job was just to get old mate
- 46:32Speaker 2: ready to go. But that person got replaced by a pill.
- 46:36Speaker 2: Talk about technology, imagine saying a pill took my.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Job, especially if you've had your own news skill.
- 46:46Speaker 3: Hey, what happens if that fluffer as he got older,
- 46:49Speaker 3: then goes death. It's like we can give you viagra.
- 46:52Speaker 3: No way, he stole my job. I'm not taking that. Sorry.
- 46:56Speaker 2: I don't think fluffers were boys, Patrick in the most part,
- 47:00Speaker 2: I guess, so I don't know that.
- 47:02Speaker 1: Maybe on your pawn that's.
- 47:04Speaker 2: Over here, over here, point.
- 47:09Speaker 1: That's so funny.
- 47:10Speaker 2: That's so funny. The US plans to order foreign tourists,
- 47:15Speaker 2: including Ozzies, to disclose social media histories.
- 47:19Speaker 3: What yes, forty countries around the world that are on
- 47:24Speaker 3: what they call visa exempt, so the visa exempt countries,
- 47:28Speaker 3: so Australians and New Zealands are included in that. Effectively,
- 47:32Speaker 3: you would have to when applying for a entry into
- 47:35Speaker 3: the US, you would have to disclose all of your
- 47:39Speaker 3: social media data since twenty nineteen.
- 47:42Speaker 2: Wow, this is a Trump initiative. Yep, how how do
- 47:47Speaker 2: we even Yeah, why do they need that? What can
- 47:50Speaker 2: they even like? There must be so many people coming in.
- 47:52Speaker 2: How on earth do they disseminate that this.
- 47:55Speaker 1: Is before you enter the country.
- 47:56Speaker 3: You've got to give them access to your social media
- 48:00Speaker 3: for five years before you can enter the country.
- 48:04Speaker 1: It only just came out.
- 48:05Speaker 3: Recently, and look, I don't even know how that would
- 48:10Speaker 3: work in terms of how you do it. But when
- 48:12Speaker 3: you make the tourist visa application, you know we are
- 48:18Speaker 3: visa exempt in Australia, but maying to get into the country,
- 48:22Speaker 3: you've got to basically say, because they're saying they want
- 48:25Speaker 3: to filter out people who may have had bad opinions
- 48:28Speaker 3: about the US, if you've said something bad about Donald Trump,
- 48:31Speaker 3: you couldn't effectively be kicked out or not allowed into
- 48:34Speaker 3: the country.
- 48:35Speaker 2: So much of a free speech now apparently if I'm
- 48:38Speaker 2: going to have an account with a password, I shouldn't
- 48:43Speaker 2: use admin ad M. I N I shouldn't use that
- 48:47Speaker 2: as my password. Who would have thought, Patrick?
- 48:49Speaker 1: I know?
- 48:49Speaker 3: Or if you happen to have a very famous art
- 48:52Speaker 3: gallery and you have security cameras, maybe not use the
- 48:55Speaker 3: word louve as.
- 48:57Speaker 1: Your password via security system. Is that true? Is that
- 49:00Speaker 1: what happened? No?
- 49:01Speaker 2: No, no, okay, because they just got robbed.
- 49:04Speaker 1: You're being funny. That's true, Look it up? Is it
- 49:07Speaker 1: actually true? Yeah?
- 49:09Speaker 3: Evidently an earlier password was louve with capital although.
- 49:14Speaker 2: It couldn't crook spell louve. That might have been if
- 49:17Speaker 2: they weren't friends, ye had probably not. Wow, I love
- 49:22Speaker 2: this one. A Sydney car theft was basically thwarted by
- 49:27Speaker 2: crooks who couldn't drive.
- 49:29Speaker 1: A manual I know, isn't that great?
- 49:31Speaker 3: So they tried to steal a car and then they
- 49:33Speaker 3: had to abandon it because they.
- 49:34Speaker 1: Didn't know drive a manual car.
- 49:38Speaker 2: That's the sign of the times, isn't it.
- 49:40Speaker 1: It's pretty hard to get a manual car these days.
- 49:42Speaker 1: It's not many on the market.
- 49:43Speaker 3: A friend of mine, who's an older woman in her seventies,
- 49:46Speaker 3: bought a bright fire engine red WRX because she wanted
- 49:49Speaker 3: to have a manual car and it was one of
- 49:51Speaker 3: the few on the market.
- 49:52Speaker 1: So now she's just this hoon.
- 49:54Speaker 3: Driving around the land a red w Hi Judy, if
- 49:58Speaker 3: you're listening, Hi Judy, Lady.
- 50:00Speaker 1: Bogan, I'm with you.
- 50:02Speaker 2: Duty. I've got a six speed manual. Best thing ever,
- 50:05Speaker 2: it's kind of driving automatic. I've got yeah, I've got
- 50:08Speaker 2: an automatic as well, but it's like it's kind of
- 50:12Speaker 2: I think, you know. I was listening to this guy
- 50:15Speaker 2: that you may or may not know called Stephen Bartlett Patrick.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Do you know him?
- 50:18Speaker 2: He has a very big podcast, one of the top
- 50:20Speaker 2: ten in the world called CEO of a Diary.
- 50:25Speaker 1: Sorry Diary of a CEO.
- 50:26Speaker 2: Sorry fuck, Come on, harps, how's your dyslexia? And he
- 50:31Speaker 2: was just talking about how he has two autonomous vehicles
- 50:34Speaker 2: and he's in LA. He doesn't drive anymore, so he
- 50:39Speaker 2: just goes and gets in his car, tells it or
- 50:41Speaker 2: whatever you do, program it, tell it where to take you.
- 50:45Speaker 2: Sits in the passenger seat or I don't know, maybe
- 50:47Speaker 2: the driver's seat, and it just takes him wherever he
- 50:50Speaker 2: wants to go. You'd be pretty comfortable with that. Wouldn't
- 50:54Speaker 2: you like I think you would like that?
- 50:56Speaker 1: Or am I wrong? Definitely?
- 50:57Speaker 3: If I was driving in Melbourne, I would I get
- 51:00Speaker 3: white knuckle. I've been living in the country for nearly
- 51:02Speaker 3: seventeen years. I get white knuckle driving in Melbourne. It's
- 51:05Speaker 3: awful traffic, people cutting you off, no one uses indicators.
- 51:09Speaker 1: Damn. I'd be going for an autonomous car much safer.
- 51:12Speaker 2: TIF if you had to choose for the next two years,
- 51:15Speaker 2: you can have an autonomous car and it'll drive you everywhere.
- 51:20Speaker 2: You've just got to get in it, or you've got
- 51:22Speaker 2: to drive yourself anywhere and needed to be one or
- 51:24Speaker 2: the other.
- 51:25Speaker 1: What would you choose?
- 51:27Speaker 4: I think once I tried it, like the idea of
- 51:32Speaker 4: it freaks me out, but then the idea of trusting it.
- 51:37Speaker 4: If I trusted it, yeah, hell yeah, but I would
- 51:40Speaker 4: I would go weired it out by the idea of it.
- 51:42Speaker 1: At first, for me, it.
- 51:44Speaker 2: Just freeze up time, especially going to see ron A
- 51:47Speaker 2: Marror every time.
- 51:47Speaker 1: It's four hours.
