  folks,

  according

  And

  I

  screwed
• 0:18
  it

  up.
• 0:19
  I
• 0:19
  know
• 0:19
  I
• 0:19
  screwed
• 0:19
  it
• 0:19
  up.
• 0:20
  I
• 0:20
  look
• 0:20
  forward
• 0:20
  to
• 0:20
  every
• 0:21
  week
• 0:21
  when
• 0:21
  we
• 0:21
  get
• 0:22
  a

  Verge

  headline.
• 0:22
  And
• 0:23
  I
• 0:23
  screwed
• 0:23
  it

  up.
• 0:23
  All
• 0:24
  right,
• 0:24
  Sorry,

  folks.

  Amazon

• 1:13
  Ann,
• 1:14
  is
• 1:14
  this
• 1:14
  yet
• 1:14
  another
• 1:15
  sign
• 1:15
  that
• 1:15
  the
• 1:16
  apocalypse
• 1:16
  is
• 1:16
  near?
• 1:17
  No,
• 1:17
  not
• 1:18
  yet.
• 1:18
  Not
• 1:19
  yet.
• 1:19
  No.
• 1:19
  I
• 1:19
  think,
• 1:20
  I
• 1:20
  think
• 1:20
  there's
• 1:21
  still
• 1:21
  so
• 1:22
  much
• 1:22
  experimentation
• 1:23
  to
• 1:23
  be
• 1:23
  done
• 1:24
  in
• 1:24
  the
• 1:24
  world
• 1:25
  of
• 1:25
  robots
• 1:26
  and
• 1:26
  robot
• 1:26
  delivery.
• 1:27
  I
• 1:28
  mean,
• 1:28
  I
• 1:28
  think
• 1:28
  you
• 1:29
  also
• 1:29
  look
• 1:29
  at
• 1:29
  this
• 1:30
  as
• 1:30
  you're
• 1:30
  in
• 1:30
  a
• 1:30
  perfect
• 1:31
  environment.
• 1:31
  You're
• 1:32
  in
• 1:32
  a
• 1:32
  San
• 1:32
  Francisco
• 1:33
  parking
• 1:33
  lot
• 1:33
  where
• 1:34
  the
• 1:34
  weather
• 1:34
  is
• 1:34
  pretty
• 1:35
  expected,
• 1:36
  we'll
• 1:37
  say,
• 1:37
  or
• 1:37
  that
• 1:37
  they,
• 1:37
  they
• 1:38
  can
• 1:38
  anticipate
• 1:39
  the
• 1:39
  conditions.
• 1:39
  And
• 1:40
  robots
• 1:40
  work
• 1:40
  really
• 1:41
  well
• 1:41
  when
• 1:41
  they're
• 1:41
  in
• 1:42
  a
• 1:42
  controlled
• 1:42
  environment.
• 1:43
  But
• 1:43
  unfortunately,
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  real
• 1:44
  world,
• 1:45
  you
• 1:45
  know,
• 1:46
  apartments
• 1:46
  in
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  middle
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  urban
• 1:47
  cities,
• 1:48
  like,
• 1:48
  that's
• 1:49
  not
• 1:49
  a
• 1:49
  controlled
• 1:50
  environment,
• 1:51
  especially,
• 1:52
  I
• 1:52
  mean,
• 1:52
  even
• 1:52
  with
• 1:52
  the
• 1:53
  stuff
• 1:53
  going
• 1:53
  on
• 1:53
  in
• 1:53
  the
• 1:53
  country
• 1:54
  right
• 1:54
  now,
• 1:54
  like,
• 1:54
  you
• 1:54
  do
• 1:55
  see
• 1:55
  the
• 1:55
  Waymox
• 1:56
  taxis
• 1:56
  we're
• 1:57
  getting,
• 1:57
  like,
• 1:57
  like,
• 1:57
  you
• 1:58
  just,
• 1:58
  you
• 1:58
  don't
• 1:58
  know.
• 1:59
  Like
• 1:59
  the.
• 1:59
  There's
• 2:00
  no,
• 2:00
  like,
• 2:00
  default
• 2:01
  button
• 2:01
  of,
• 2:01
  like,
• 2:01
  we
• 2:01
  gotta
• 2:02
  get
• 2:02
  the
• 2:02
  heck
• 2:02
  out
• 2:02
  of
• 2:02
  here.
• 2:03
  So
• 2:03
  anyway,
• 2:04
  I
• 2:04
  think
• 2:04
  that,
• 2:05
  yes,
• 2:05
  robots,
• 2:06
  drones,
• 2:07
  even,
• 2:07
  like,
• 2:07
  Walmart
• 2:08
  announced
• 2:08
  this
• 2:08
  week
• 2:08
  that
• 2:09
  they're
• 2:09
  testing
• 2:09
  drones
• 2:09
  in
• 2:10
  five
• 2:10
  more
• 2:10
  cities.
• 2:10
  Like,
• 2:11
  I
• 2:11
  still
• 2:11
  think
• 2:11
  we're
• 2:12
  in
• 2:12
  heavy
• 2:12
  experimentation
• 2:14
  level
• 2:14
  of
• 2:15
  robotics
• 2:16
  and
• 2:16
  of
• 2:16
  drone
• 2:16
  delivery.
• 2:17
  I
• 2:17
  think
• 2:18
  we're
• 2:18
  still
• 2:18
  several
• 2:18
  years
• 2:19
  out
• 2:19
  before
• 2:19
  we
• 2:19
  start
• 2:20
  actually
• 2:20
  seeing
• 2:21
  this
• 2:21
  kind
• 2:21
  of,
• 2:21
  kind
• 2:22
  of
• 2:22
  proliferate
• 2:23
  throughout
• 2:23
  the
• 2:23
  rest
• 2:23
  of
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  country.
• 2:24
  So.
• 2:24
  Night
• 2:25
  night.
• 2:25
  You
• 2:25
  think
• 2:25
  this
• 2:25
  is
• 2:25
  either
• 2:26
  like
• 2:26
  a
• 2:26
  PR
• 2:26
  sizzle
• 2:27
  or
• 2:27
  like
• 2:27
  a
• 2:27
  scary
• 2:28
  story
• 2:28
  designed
• 2:29
  or
• 2:29
  a
• 2:29
  headline
• 2:30
  designed
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  be
• 2:30
  kind
• 2:30
  of
• 2:30
  a
• 2:30
  scary,
• 2:31
  you
• 2:31
  know,
• 2:32
  clickbait
• 2:32
  story?
• 2:33
  Yeah,
• 2:33
  I
• 2:33
  mean,
• 2:33
  I
• 2:34
  think
• 2:34
  clickbait,
• 2:34
  but
• 2:35
  I
• 2:35
  mean,
• 2:35
  I
• 2:35
  do
• 2:35
  think
• 2:36
  we're.
• 2:36
  You,
• 2:37
  you
• 2:37
  have
• 2:37
  to
• 2:37
  figure
• 2:37
  this
• 2:38
  out.
• 2:38
  You
• 2:38
  have
• 2:38
  to
• 2:38
  trial
• 2:39
  and
• 2:39
  error
• 2:39
  this
• 2:39
  as
• 2:39
  much
• 2:40
  as
• 2:40
  you
• 2:40
  can
• 2:40
  before
• 2:41
  you
• 2:41
  get
• 2:41
  to
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  point
• 2:42
  where
• 2:42
  we
• 2:42
  can
• 2:42
  do
• 2:43
  this.
• 2:43
  But
• 2:43
  I
• 2:43
  just
• 2:44
  think
• 2:44
  we're
• 2:44
  going
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  see
• 2:44
  robotics
• 2:45
  being
• 2:45
  used
• 2:45
  for
• 2:45
  so
• 2:46
  many
• 2:46
  other
• 2:46
  things
• 2:47
  that
• 2:47
  are
• 2:47
  in
• 2:47
  controlled
• 2:48
  environments
• 2:48
  before
• 2:48
  we
• 2:49
  start
• 2:49
  seeing
• 2:49
  them
• 2:49
  let
• 2:50
  loose
• 2:50
  on
• 2:50
  the
• 2:50
  streets
• 2:50
  of
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  United
• 2:51
  States.
• 2:51
  And
• 2:52
  it's
• 2:52
  not
• 2:52
  as
• 2:52
  a
• 2:52
  controlled
• 2:52
  environment
• 2:53
  too.
• 2:53
  I
• 2:53
  mean,
• 2:53
  that's
• 2:53
  a
• 2:53
  part
• 2:54
  of
• 2:54
  it
• 2:54
  in
• 2:54
  terms
• 2:54
  of
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  testing,
• 2:55
  but
• 2:55
  it's
• 2:55
  also
• 2:55
  robots
• 2:56
  are
• 2:56
  best
• 2:56
  at
• 2:56
  doing
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  same
• 2:56
  thing
• 2:57
  over
• 2:57
  and
• 2:57
  over
• 2:57
  again.
• 2:58
  So
• 2:58
  your
• 2:58
  point
• 2:58
  about
• 2:59
  drones
• 2:59
  is
• 2:59
  really
• 2:59
  good
• 2:59
  too,
• 3:00
  because
• 3:00
  that
• 3:00
  is
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  same
• 3:00
  thing
• 3:01
  over
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  over
• 3:01
  again.
• 3:01
  And
• 3:01
  we're
• 3:02
  only
• 3:02
  seeing
• 3:02
  that.
• 3:03
  We're
• 3:03
  not
• 3:03
  even
• 3:03
  seeing
• 3:03
  those
• 3:04
  quote
• 3:04
  unquote,
• 3:04
  get
• 3:05
  off
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  ground,
• 3:05
  for
• 3:05
  lack
• 3:06
  of
• 3:06
  a
• 3:06
  better
• 3:06
  way
• 3:06
  to
• 3:06
  put
• 3:06
  it.
• 3:06
  Yeah,
• 3:07
  yeah,
• 3:08
  I'm
• 3:08
  with
• 3:08
  you.
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  don't,
• 3:08
  I
• 3:09
  mean,
• 3:09
  I
• 3:10
  kind
• 3:10
  of
• 3:10
  poo
• 3:10
  pooed
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  arm
• 3:13
  wielding
• 3:14
  robot
• 3:14
  in
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  warehouse
• 3:15
  and
• 3:15
  said
• 3:15
  we're
• 3:15
  probably
• 3:15
  10
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  20
• 3:16
  years
• 3:16
  out
• 3:16
  from
• 3:17
  seeing
• 3:17
  that
• 3:17
  thing
• 3:17
  fully
• 3:18
  deployed.
• 3:18
  So.
• 3:18
  Yeah,
• 3:19
  I'm
• 3:19
  with
• 3:19
  you
• 3:19
  on
• 3:19
  this
• 3:19
  one.
• 3:19
  The
• 3:20
  funny
• 3:20
  thing
• 3:20
  for
• 3:20
  me
• 3:20
  is
• 3:21
  like,
• 3:21
  I
• 3:21
  can't
• 3:21
  even
• 3:21
  imagine
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  societal
• 3:22
  impacts
• 3:23
  of
• 3:23
  this
• 3:23
  if
• 3:23
  like
• 3:24
  I'm
• 3:24
  in,
• 3:24
  you
• 3:25
  know,
• 3:25
  a
• 3:25
  relative.
• 3:25
  I
• 3:26
  just
• 3:26
  keep
• 3:26
  thinking
• 3:26
  of
• 3:26
  like
• 3:27
  the
• 3:27
  woman
• 3:27
  from
• 3:28
  like
• 3:28
  something
• 3:28
  about
• 3:28
  Mary,
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  old
• 3:29
  lady.
• 3:29
  Magda.
• 3:30
  Magda.
• 3:31
  If
• 3:31
  she's
• 3:31
  sitting
• 3:31
  in
• 3:31
  her
• 3:31
  apartment
• 3:32
  and
• 3:32
  she
• 3:32
  sees
• 3:32
  like
• 3:33
  a
• 3:33
  Terminator
• 3:33
  robot
• 3:34
  coming
• 3:34
  down
• 3:35
  the
• 3:35
  hallway
• 3:35
  carrying
• 3:35
  a
• 3:36
  package.
• 3:36
  Oh
• 3:36
  my
• 3:36
  God,
• 3:37
  imagine
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  freak
• 3:38
  out
• 3:38
  scale
• 3:38
  this
• 3:39
  would
• 3:39
  create.
• 3:39
  Sort
• 3:40
  of.
• 3:40
  I
• 3:40
  thought
• 3:40
  that,
• 3:41
  but
• 3:41
  then
• 3:41
  I.
• 3:41
  We
• 3:42
  were
• 3:42
  at
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  Barcelona
• 3:43
  airport
• 3:43
  and
• 3:43
  they
• 3:43
  have
• 3:44
  autonomous
• 3:44
  wheelchairs
• 3:45
  that
• 3:45
  are
• 3:45
  driving
• 3:46
  people
• 3:46
  to
• 3:46
  gates
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  there
• 3:47
  is
• 3:47
  tons
• 3:48
  of
• 3:48
  elderly
• 3:48
  people
• 3:48
  sitting
• 3:49
  in
• 3:49
  those.
• 3:49
  And
• 3:49
  I'm
• 3:50
  like,
• 3:50
  maybe
• 3:51
  they're
• 3:51
  okay
• 3:51
  with
• 3:51
  it.
• 3:52
  I
• 3:52
  don't
• 3:52
  know.
• 3:52
  We
• 3:52
  didn't
• 3:52
  see.
• 3:52
  It's
• 3:53
  different
• 3:53
  than
• 3:53
  like
• 3:53
  a
• 3:53
  bald
• 3:54
  robot.
• 3:54
  That's
• 3:55
  true.
• 3:56
  Oh,
• 3:56
  I,
• 3:57
  I
• 3:57
  was
• 3:57
  even
• 3:58
  thinking
• 3:58
  like
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  dinosaur
• 3:59
  like
• 3:59
  dog
• 4:00
  looking
• 4:00
  ones.
• 4:00
  Like
• 4:01
  they'd
• 4:01
  be
• 4:01
  like,
• 4:03
  I
• 4:03
  wish
• 4:03
  I'd
• 4:03
  be
• 4:03
  like,
• 4:03
  okay,
• 4:04
  it's
• 4:04
  not
• 4:04
  like
• 4:04
  coming
• 4:04
  together.
• 4:05
  Oh
• 4:05
  my
• 4:05
  God.
• 4:05
  Yeah,
• 4:06
  I
• 4:06
  didn't
• 4:06
  even
• 4:06
  think
• 4:06
  of
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  humanoid
• 4:08
  robot.
• 4:09
  Like
• 4:09
  the
• 4:09
  pictures
• 4:09
  are
• 4:09
  like
• 4:10
  humanoid.
• 4:10
  Yes,
• 4:11
  that's
• 4:11
  true,
• 4:11
  that's
• 4:12
  true.
• 4:12
  That
• 4:12
  is
• 4:12
  not
• 4:13
  something
• 4:13
  that.
• 4:14
  I
• 4:14
  don't
• 4:14
  think
• 4:14
  we're
• 4:15
  ready
• 4:15
  for
• 4:15
  that
• 4:15
  as
• 4:15
  a
• 4:16
  society.
• 4:16
  No,
• 4:17
  I
• 4:17
  just,
• 4:17
  I
• 4:17
  don't.
• 4:18
  There's
• 4:18
  a
• 4:18
  lot
• 4:18
  of
• 4:18
  generations
• 4:19
  that
• 4:19
  live
• 4:19
  in
• 4:20
  society.
• 4:20
  But
• 4:20
  anyway,
• 4:21
  let's
• 4:21
  keep
• 4:21
  rolling.
