  Speaker 3: Hi, Mark.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I've got two questions for you.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: First thing... How would you compare AORUS AI Hopla with Y2K?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And the second question is, how would it affect Apple
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: iPhones in the future?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Very good question. Excellent question. Yes, you remember in 1999,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: there was a thing called Y2K because it was going
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to be the year 2000. It was going to be
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a new century. I can't remember exactly why, but they
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: had convinced everybody. that because the year was going to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: go to zeros, that it was going to confuse every
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: digital thing, every computer. Remember, you think I'm kidding. They
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: were convinced that planes would drop out of the sky,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that the whole electric grid would shut down, all this
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, Y2K. And it was hysteria for about
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a year or two or three. I used to be
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: on the air saying, don't worry, nothing's going to happen.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I used to get all kinds of people yelling and screaming.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: How could you say that? It's going to be the worst. Y2K,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this happens all the time. As we always point out,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: this happened when electricity was invented. Everybody was hysteria. They
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: thought it would kill us all. Electricity would be the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: most dangerous thing to humanity. And that's what caused the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: woman Mary Shelley to write the book Frankenstein about how
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: electricity would create monsters that would kill us. So calm down,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: calm down. There may be some problems with AI, but
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you will be fine. Hey, when we come back, Howie
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Carr will be with us next. Lots to talk to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: him about. On 710WOR.
