Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, twenty seventh day of May. I'm Wes, thanks
0:16
Speaker 2: for joining me. I'm already sick of my kids staring
0:19
Speaker 2: at their phones all day. I haven't been too bad,
0:24
Speaker 2: but I have friends who are really sick of it.
0:27
Speaker 2: I'd say they haven't been too bad. They've been in
0:31
Speaker 2: them in the screens. I don't know if I've really
0:35
Speaker 2: shared this idea, this concept, but I don't remember. I
0:40
Speaker 2: can't attribute it to the source. Because I was watching
0:43
Speaker 2: a video of someone who was discussing screen time for kids,
0:49
Speaker 2: and I felt like this would probably be helpful to
0:53
Speaker 2: some of the parents because we're at the start of
0:57
Speaker 2: this season of our year, all right, this is the
1:02
Speaker 2: start of the season, and I know there's a lot
1:07
Speaker 2: of parents saying, okay, kids are already like driving me
1:10
Speaker 2: crazy with screens and they're already we have cut the
1:12
Speaker 2: screen time. We have to limit the screen time, and
1:16
Speaker 2: I understand that. I think that is in many cases
1:21
Speaker 2: very wise a very good thing to do, and of
1:25
Speaker 2: course invoking the hard rule that you have to have
1:32
Speaker 2: that says if you're going to have that device, I'm
1:36
Speaker 2: going to have every right to check it anytime I
1:38
Speaker 2: want to any app passwords, I can check it right
1:42
Speaker 2: in front of you. I can check it when you're
1:44
Speaker 2: in the shower and you've left the phone sitting out.
1:47
Speaker 2: Whatever I need to do to just stay on top
1:50
Speaker 2: of it. I think that's another rule that should be understood.
1:53
Speaker 2: They should know that there's a chance you're gonna check it.
1:57
Speaker 2: Help keep them in line. All of that's important. When
2:01
Speaker 2: you walk up and you look over their shoulder and
2:03
Speaker 2: they quickly jump off of whatever it is, you should
2:07
Speaker 2: tell them, no, I need you to pull that back
2:09
Speaker 2: up again. Many times it's completely innocent. They just start
2:15
Speaker 2: wanting their privacy and you say, well, that's that's understandable,
2:18
Speaker 2: but you don't have that. Privacy is not a thing here.
2:23
Speaker 2: It relates a little bit. I'm going to get back
2:25
Speaker 2: on my point, but it relates a little bit to
2:29
Speaker 2: and as a gen xer here with many gen xer listeners,
2:34
Speaker 2: I just know that time in our lives where we
2:39
Speaker 2: had if you had a computer in the house, it
2:42
Speaker 2: was going to be in a room where anybody could
2:44
Speaker 2: walk by at any given point and see whatever you
2:47
Speaker 2: were doing. If you had a you know, you didn't
2:51
Speaker 2: wouldn't have been a cell phone back then. You would
2:53
Speaker 2: have had a phone probably at one time in your life.
2:59
Speaker 2: A what was conceived that are the main phone line
3:02
Speaker 2: that you know, you almost had to talk on it
3:05
Speaker 2: in front of people. That was the thing for a while. Now,
3:08
Speaker 2: I will admit I'm at the part of gen X
3:12
Speaker 2: where I, you know, I got I had a phone
3:15
Speaker 2: in my room. Cordless phones became a thing, and we
3:20
Speaker 2: had a chance to do that. Yeah, that's right, kids,
3:22
Speaker 2: Cordless phones were a big deal. But and then I
3:26
Speaker 2: also eventually when I started working, when I was in
3:28
Speaker 2: high school, I put a phone line, a separate phone
3:30
Speaker 2: line in my room that I paid for, and that
3:34
Speaker 2: way I could go have a private conversation if I
3:38
Speaker 2: wanted to, and you know, many really dumb private conversations
3:42
Speaker 2: about star Wars and things like that, I think, comic
3:45
Speaker 2: books or whatever. I was talking about important things that
3:48
Speaker 2: I needed my privacy for. Darn it. But back to
3:51
Speaker 2: this idea, so privacy, No, they don't get privacy. We
3:54
Speaker 2: didn't have privacy. They shouldn't have privacy. But the thing
3:58
Speaker 2: about the screens and this is just something that I
4:00
Speaker 2: heard in from an expert, from someone who was saying, look,
4:05
Speaker 2: limiting their screen time. That sounds great, but keep this
4:09
Speaker 2: in mind. You there's benefit to limit their small screen time,
4:16
Speaker 2: but you don't necessarily have to limit their big screen time.
4:20
Speaker 2: TVs don't restrict them from having the opportunity to enjoy
4:26
Speaker 2: long form content. The problem is the short form content.
4:31
Speaker 2: It's the short, little nuggets of info, the little skits,
4:35
Speaker 2: the little pranks, whatever it is that they're watching. Those
4:39
Speaker 2: are the things that are reprogramming their brains. Those are
4:42
Speaker 2: the things that are telling them that anything longer than
4:46
Speaker 2: forty five seconds is bad and that if you can Again,
4:50
Speaker 2: I'm telling you this not from the perspective of an expert.
4:54
Speaker 2: This is something that I was already actively trying to
4:57
Speaker 2: do with my kids before I ever watch this, but
5:01
Speaker 2: trying to help them rethink, restretch their brains to where
5:07
Speaker 2: they can watch longer form content, even if it's a
5:09
Speaker 2: thirty minute TV show, if it's a movie, My kids
5:15
Speaker 2: struggle with watching. They'll watch about half a movie and
5:18
Speaker 2: then say, hey, can we finish the rest of this later?
5:21
Speaker 2: That's forty five minutes or so. Sometimes maybe like an hour,
5:28
Speaker 2: hour and a half maybe if it's a long movie,
5:32
Speaker 2: but it's good to help re reincorporate the idea of
5:38
Speaker 2: longer form content to them. So that's what this one
5:40
Speaker 2: expert said. I had already kind of been doing it
5:43
Speaker 2: with my boys. I'm trying to do it more. I'm
5:46
Speaker 2: determined to work more movies into the mix. This summer.
5:50
Speaker 2: We've already done. We watched Project Hail Mary, and we
5:57
Speaker 2: got one last Harry Potter movie to watch in the series.
6:00
Speaker 2: I'm trying trying to just stretch out that capacity for
6:04
Speaker 2: what they're able to watch in one city. Now, if
6:06
Speaker 2: we're at the movies, and that's pretty rare for us.
6:09
Speaker 2: We don't do that very much. If we're at the movies.
6:13
Speaker 2: As long as they've got food in their face and
6:15
Speaker 2: they can just you know, eat popcorn or eat candy,
6:19
Speaker 2: they can do longer form. But it's not such a thing.
6:22
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a struggle for them at home to
6:26
Speaker 2: just sit there when there's other options. And I'll be honest,
6:30
Speaker 2: I have those moments too if I'm kind of watching
6:33
Speaker 2: something and I might have a second screen going. I've
6:36
Speaker 2: been guilty of a third screen going if I'm working
6:39
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to follow multiple topics, but anyway, I'm
6:41
Speaker 2: just offering that up, maybe the idea of a you know,
6:47
Speaker 2: movie night or movie during the day something. It's not
6:51
Speaker 2: necessarily just about screens. It's about that short content that's
6:55
Speaker 2: the bad stuff anyway. So I want to jump into
7:00
Speaker 2: this just over to Texas for a minute, and I
7:05
Speaker 2: know we've got things. First of all, before I go
7:08
Speaker 2: to Texas, I just want to point out it's it's
7:10
Speaker 2: a little interesting here in Columbus and our mayoral race
7:14
Speaker 2: as we're down to two. We have Isaiah Hugley, the
7:19
Speaker 2: longtime city manager who Columbus got significantly worse in his
7:25
Speaker 2: time as city manager. He finally got released from his
7:29
Speaker 2: duties and you know, decided to sue the City of Columbus.
7:34
Speaker 2: So right there, shows he's got your interests first, right,
7:39
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. The other candidate though, is
7:45
Speaker 2: someone who was who's on the city council, who was
7:46
Speaker 2: part of the group that let him go, Joeanne Kogel. Now,
7:50
Speaker 2: one of the big hot button issues for this race
7:54
Speaker 2: was about data centers and the proposed data center coming
7:58
Speaker 2: to the area. One of my biggest gripes and I
8:04
Speaker 2: say this many times every time I get an opportunity.
8:09
Speaker 2: I feel like in Columbus, we are a city that says,
8:13
Speaker 2: we're gonna give you the opportunity to tell us we're
8:16
Speaker 2: gon we're gonna have one of those get togethers from
8:18
Speaker 2: the town hall get togethers, and we'll let everybody say
8:22
Speaker 2: what they think about these ideas. And it always has
8:26
Speaker 2: felt to me like the decisions made they're doing this
8:30
Speaker 2: formal thing where they have to sit us down and
8:32
Speaker 2: give us a chance to express our opinions on it.
8:35
Speaker 2: And they've already made up their mind, the inks probably
8:38
Speaker 2: already dried on the contract, but they can't put the
8:41
Speaker 2: date down until they go through this formal, official thing
8:44
Speaker 2: they have to do, like it's required in many cases
8:49
Speaker 2: to say, well, we got to give people a chance,
8:52
Speaker 2: got to let them sound off on it. And I've
8:55
Speaker 2: been saying that for decades. I mean it's decades of
9:00
Speaker 2: it's a sham. That's what they do, that's what they've done.
9:04
Speaker 2: So this idea of bringing a data center became a
9:07
Speaker 2: hot button thing on this mayoral race as we got
9:11
Speaker 2: it whittled down to two for a runoff, and one
9:15
Speaker 2: of the candidates who was running in the Mass primary
9:21
Speaker 2: or whatever, the Mass election. It's not a primary, but
9:24
Speaker 2: effectively it becomes a primary when you are trying to
9:30
Speaker 2: narrow it down to two. I mean, you're trying to
9:32
Speaker 2: get one to get more than half the vote, and
9:35
Speaker 2: that just didn't happen. But Chris Bralt, who was running,
9:39
Speaker 2: he was like a last minute qualified the final day,
9:42
Speaker 2: jumped in the mix, and that was his whole leverage
9:45
Speaker 2: was you know where, we got to get rid of
9:47
Speaker 2: this data center. We can't have this thing. It's terrible. Well,
9:50
Speaker 2: Joe Ann Kogle has released a video. She did so
9:54
Speaker 2: yesterday I think it was yesterday, It wasn't Memorial Day.
9:58
Speaker 2: Basically just was her saying she's rethinking things on this
10:01
Speaker 2: data center. That's a move that I think a lot
10:04
Speaker 2: of people in Columbus would like to hear. A lot
10:08
Speaker 2: of people have concerns about it. I think there needs
10:11
Speaker 2: to be a more thorough vetting of this process than
10:16
Speaker 2: what we typically do. But I just don't know if
10:19
Speaker 2: it's too late. But I do like the fact that
10:22
Speaker 2: she's now jumped in this. I think that may help
10:24
Speaker 2: her with some of the Chris Bralt voters and some
10:29
Speaker 2: of the other candidates quite frankly that I think she
10:32
Speaker 2: may pick up some votes from them, but we'll see
10:35
Speaker 2: if it's enough, and I think it's important that we
10:39
Speaker 2: do now. I will also say this, AOC released a
10:43
Speaker 2: video where she's talking about how bad data centers are,
10:46
Speaker 2: and that made me immediately think, well, data centers must
10:49
Speaker 2: be good, because she's not been right about anything ever,
10:53
Speaker 2: so I'm not sure she could tell you what color
10:55
Speaker 2: the sky is, or the sun or the grass. So
10:58
Speaker 2: it just makes me think, well, data must be a
11:00
Speaker 2: good thing then. But no, I don't want a situation
11:04
Speaker 2: where we have contaminated water. I don't want a situation
11:07
Speaker 2: where we have resources that are being just zapped from
11:12
Speaker 2: the community at potential peril and risk. So I think
11:18
Speaker 2: we need more time. I just still feel like maybe
11:21
Speaker 2: the ink is dry, but I hope not. I hope
11:23
Speaker 2: that that's not the case. So we'll see. Jumping over
11:27
Speaker 2: to Texas now, as we have this James Tallerico, who
11:33
Speaker 2: has become one of the strangest He's not as weird
11:36
Speaker 2: as the guy in Maine with all the Nazi tattoos
11:39
Speaker 2: and all the hate speech. I like that all of
11:42
Speaker 2: his stuff that he said against veterans or one particular
11:45
Speaker 2: veteran or a couple of veterans came up over a
11:47
Speaker 2: Memorial Day that was nice. And all the things he
11:51
Speaker 2: said about women, and you know, a lot of things.
11:54
Speaker 2: And you know the fact that he went to the
11:55
Speaker 2: trouble of having you know, like a like a Nazi
12:00
Speaker 2: thing tattooed on his body shows that he committed to
12:03
Speaker 2: something at some point in his life. So that's a
12:05
Speaker 2: good thing that we know that. But Democrats they don't
12:08
Speaker 2: seem to mind. It's it's kind of like the the
12:12
Speaker 2: Democrat history with the KKK, right, It's it's like, we're
12:18
Speaker 2: just gonna pretend that that that's not the origin of that.
12:22
Speaker 2: We're not We're just gonna act like there's nothing there's
12:25
Speaker 2: nothing there, there's nothing to see here, and we're just
12:29
Speaker 2: gonna pretend. And they did this flip where they were like, no, no, no,
12:33
Speaker 2: Lincoln was a Democrat, he wasn't a Republican, and ending
12:37
Speaker 2: slavery that was that was something done by Democrats and
12:40
Speaker 2: you no, no, that's not that's not right, and then
12:43
Speaker 2: people are the big switch and all that talk.
12:45
Speaker 1: Anyway.
12:46
Speaker 2: Uh So, back to Texas. Another interesting candidate other than
12:51
Speaker 2: the guy with the Nazi tattoo that Democrats just can't wait.
12:55
Speaker 2: They just want a winner. They don't care what is said,
12:58
Speaker 2: they don't care how ridiculous it is. And James Tallerco
13:02
Speaker 2: is one of those people where he is he's been
13:05
Speaker 2: just pushing this issue of this weird it's almost this
13:09
Speaker 2: cult like version of Christianity where you say, listen, we're
13:14
Speaker 2: going to take the idea where say we're Christians, but
13:18
Speaker 2: we're going to push our politics into this version of it,
13:21
Speaker 2: and we're going to tell you that that's that should
13:22
Speaker 2: dictate how you vote, separation of church and state. It's
13:26
Speaker 2: a weird thing, right, they do they want to argue
13:29
Speaker 2: for that, except if they think in a state like Texas,
13:33
Speaker 2: they're going to be able to tap into something. Now,
13:36
Speaker 2: I have a couple of friends who are smitten with
13:39
Speaker 2: this tallar Rico guy. I would love to hear their
13:42
Speaker 2: thoughts on the Nazi guy, the guy with the Nazi
13:44
Speaker 2: stomach or whatever. He's tattooed over it. So he's acknowledged
13:49
Speaker 2: that something used to be there and it was bad.
13:53
Speaker 2: But he basically talking about and this is not the
13:56
Speaker 2: first time he's done this thing where you know, God
13:59
Speaker 2: is all six genders or whatever. I don't know how
14:02
Speaker 2: he settled on six genders. That's the other question I've got.
14:06
Speaker 2: I already decide on that because I thought it was
14:08
Speaker 2: way more than that. But abortion has come up a
14:11
Speaker 2: few times, and he said, he's talking about abortion, and
14:16
Speaker 2: he says, basically using faith to defend abortion. This is
14:25
Speaker 2: what he did. This was an interview that he did
14:27
Speaker 2: on the Jamie Kern Lima show. I mean, it's a
14:31
Speaker 2: household name, he said. I don't believe it's a place
14:34
Speaker 2: for politicians. I don't believe it's a place for the state.
14:39
Speaker 2: And I'm talking about abortion, he says, And that's a
14:42
Speaker 2: belief I hold despite my faith, not because despite my faith,
14:46
Speaker 2: but because of my faith. Jesus never talks about abortion.
14:51
Speaker 2: The Bible is silent on abortion. And when that happens
14:55
Speaker 2: with a social issue as important as abortion, we Christians
15:00
Speaker 2: have to take scripture as a whole and we've got
15:05
Speaker 2: to try to make some kind of ethical determination. Right now,
15:07
Speaker 2: in Texas, we have the most extreme abortion ban in
15:10
Speaker 2: the country, no exception for rape, no exception for incest.
15:14
Speaker 2: We have girls as young as ten years old who
15:16
Speaker 2: are assaulted, who are raped or the victims of incest
15:19
Speaker 2: who can't access basic reproductive care, who aren't able to
15:23
Speaker 2: make the decision about whether or not they're going to create. Now,
15:28
Speaker 2: this is where we're now blurring two issues, and you
15:32
Speaker 2: want to talk about the ethical side of things and
15:34
Speaker 2: say rape or incest in those kinds of things. And
15:40
Speaker 2: we know the reason that we have states that have
15:42
Speaker 2: put this in place is because they know that anyone
15:45
Speaker 2: could then say, well, I was rape, so I need
15:48
Speaker 2: to have this abortion. That's the concern. Okay, I'm laying
15:53
Speaker 2: that out there as the reason for this. And some
15:57
Speaker 2: people genuinely just believe that if life is career, why
16:00
Speaker 2: how dare you be someone who decides to end that life.
16:03
Speaker 2: That's the other side of it, that's the more largely
16:07
Speaker 2: accepted side of it by many people. But what I
16:12
Speaker 2: want to focus on is this idea that because Jesus
16:14
Speaker 2: didn't specifically say the word abortion. See people like to
16:17
Speaker 2: say Jesus didn't use the word homosexual which wasn't even
16:20
Speaker 2: a word back then. There are a couple of references
16:24
Speaker 2: to homosexuality and immoral behavior in things in the Bible
16:27
Speaker 2: that Jesus was absolutely against that behavior. But because he
16:34
Speaker 2: didn't use the word homosexuality. People say, oh, well, he
16:37
Speaker 2: must have been for it. And because he didn't use
16:40
Speaker 2: the word abortion, apparently, then clearly James Tallerco has nailed it.
16:45
Speaker 2: That must mean he's for it. Just like all of
16:49
Speaker 2: the other crimes. There's no references to a white collar
16:52
Speaker 2: crime in the Bible. There's none of that. There's no
16:55
Speaker 2: a number is a number of heinous crimes that aren't mentioned.
17:01
Speaker 2: There's no mention of serial killers, you know, like Dexter,
17:06
Speaker 2: like a justified serial killer. There's no reference to that.
17:10
Speaker 2: There's no reference to being a vigilanti serial killer. Well,
17:15
Speaker 2: it says murder, But murder is different than you know,
17:18
Speaker 2: killing somebody who deserves to die. Is that a different thing?
17:24
Speaker 2: This concept, or this idea that because it's not specifically
17:28
Speaker 2: mentioned in the Bible by name, therefore it must be
17:31
Speaker 2: okay is ridiculous. And this idea that your politics gets
17:39
Speaker 2: to decide what religion is is ridiculous. See, the Bible
17:43
Speaker 2: should shape your politics, should shape your world, not the
17:47
Speaker 2: other way around. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
17:50
Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating
17:56
Speaker 2: the youth in future STEM leaders and STEM holders that
18:02
Speaker 2: really of all ages. I mean they do it for
18:05
Speaker 2: school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca
18:07
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through
18:10
Speaker 2: their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
18:15
Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
18:20
Speaker 2: right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
18:23
Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
18:31
Speaker 2: also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
18:33
Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School
18:38
Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
18:41
Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
18:46
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
18:48
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
18:52
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
18:57
Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
19:01
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
19:04
Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows
19:09
Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
19:12
Speaker 2: Where you can get outside sometimes you do it at
19:15
Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
19:19
Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
19:21
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
19:25
Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
19:29
Speaker 2: Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
19:34
Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
19:37
Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
19:42
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
19:45
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
19:51
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
19:54
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
19:58
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
20:02
Speaker 2: care of square and that away for you, and while
20:03
Speaker 2: they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
20:06
Speaker 2: of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
20:09
Speaker 2: your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
20:13
Speaker 2: you want it to be and you need some repair
20:15
Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
20:17
Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
20:21
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
20:24
Speaker 2: sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
20:28
Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
20:32
Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
20:34
Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
20:37
Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
20:39
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
20:44
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
20:46
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
20:48
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
20:50
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
20:53
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
20:56
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
20:58
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garag and your garage door won't open
21:02
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
21:05
Speaker 2: those as well. Seven sixty five eight forty five hundred
21:08
Speaker 2: seven O six three five eight forty five hundred O
21:11
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
21:16
Speaker 2: the break, this ties into the data center conversation. I guess,
21:29
Speaker 2: so let's talk of a little bit about artificial intelligence.
21:32
Speaker 2: I still think it's ridiculous that people are using AI
21:36
Speaker 2: to research data centers to tell everybody how bad they are,
21:42
Speaker 2: which is using data from data centers. But anyway, AI
21:46
Speaker 2: is making gen Z dumber. And this is not coming
21:49
Speaker 2: from the boomers or gen X or anyone else. It's
21:54
Speaker 2: coming from gen Z. Young workers are increasingly worried that
21:58
Speaker 2: relying too heavily on AI is weakening their thinking skills.
22:02
Speaker 2: A global survey found nearly half of gen Z employees
22:05
Speaker 2: say that using AI too much is making them feel
22:08
Speaker 2: less intelligent. Across the workforce, many admit they're becoming dependent
22:12
Speaker 2: on AI, with growing pressure, especially among younger staff, to
22:17
Speaker 2: use it to boost productivity. That pressure is leading to
22:21
Speaker 2: risky habits like using AI generated content even when they're
22:25
Speaker 2: unsure if it's accurate. Experts say the biggest concern is
22:29
Speaker 2: long term, relying too much on AI could limit learning
22:33
Speaker 2: problem solving confidence, especially for young workers who need hands
22:37
Speaker 2: on experience. It was a TV show. I can't remember
22:43
Speaker 2: what the name of it was. It was about The
22:45
Speaker 2: idea was what if all power just shut off one
22:49
Speaker 2: day and there was no electricity of any kind and
22:51
Speaker 2: they couldn't start it up again, and people were trying
22:54
Speaker 2: to survive. They were trying to manage their lives in
22:59
Speaker 2: a world that had no electricity, and it was an
23:03
Speaker 2: interesting premise for a show certainly, but you know, short
23:08
Speaker 2: lived show, but the themes there were very interesting and
23:14
Speaker 2: people sort of reverted. They reverted to a place where
23:21
Speaker 2: was it called revolution? I feel like it was called revolution, yeah,
23:24
Speaker 2: because they did kind of go into this theme of
23:27
Speaker 2: kind of American revolution ideals and things as far as
23:32
Speaker 2: survival went. But anyway, that was the show, and Short
23:35
Speaker 2: Lived didn't make it long. I had a little bit
23:37
Speaker 2: of a lost feel to it. But anyway, the idea
23:39
Speaker 2: is that if you suddenly have to start gardening, could
23:43
Speaker 2: you do it? Could you figure it out? If you
23:45
Speaker 2: had to build a conveyance like a wagon, would you
23:49
Speaker 2: be able to do it? Who would be able to survive?
23:51
Speaker 2: Who would be more equipped? And I feel like that's
23:53
Speaker 2: part of what AI is now taking away sort of
23:57
Speaker 2: the workplace aspects of these things. You know, there's so
24:01
Speaker 2: many things that took away those basic really necessary skills.
24:05
Speaker 2: But the idea that you know, what if the power
24:07
Speaker 2: went out, would you be able to make a power plant?
24:10
Speaker 2: Could you figure that out? Could you create energy and
24:13
Speaker 2: use it, and of course it was one of those
24:17
Speaker 2: shows like Lost. There's more to what's going on than
24:20
Speaker 2: what you knew from the beginning. And then, speaking of AI,
24:25
Speaker 2: you're talking to AI in some cases where you don't
24:28
Speaker 2: realize it. New research suggests that as AI gets better,
24:31
Speaker 2: it's becoming really hard for people to tell the difference
24:34
Speaker 2: between a human and a chatbot. In some cases, people
24:37
Speaker 2: who just assume they're talking to a real person by
24:39
Speaker 2: default and they don't even question it. And experiments, participants
24:43
Speaker 2: were shown messages or had conversations and often mistook AI
24:47
Speaker 2: responses for human responses, especially when the AI sounded natural, emotional,
24:52
Speaker 2: or conversational. The bigger takeaway isn't just that AI is convincing.
24:58
Speaker 2: It's that we're not very skeptical. Yeah, even people who
25:05
Speaker 2: use AI regularly still tend to trust what they're reading
25:09
Speaker 2: or hearing without stopping to think about where it came from.
25:11
Speaker 2: That's the extra scary part, isn't it. Bottom line, the
25:15
Speaker 2: line between human and AI communication is getting blurry, and
25:18
Speaker 2: most of us just don't realize that it's pretty much
25:21
Speaker 2: already there. About ninety percent of humans are right handed,
25:27
Speaker 2: and now scientists think they know why A new major
25:30
Speaker 2: study compared hand preferences across more than two thousand primates
25:35
Speaker 2: from forty one species, and unlike humans, most primates don't
25:38
Speaker 2: strongly favor one hand across their whole species. Some lean left,
25:43
Speaker 2: some right, Many show no clear pattern at all. Humans
25:47
Speaker 2: stand out as a major exception. Scientists think the two
25:51
Speaker 2: big changes in human evolution, walking upright and growing larger brains,
25:56
Speaker 2: may explain why most people are right handed in the eye.
26:00
Speaker 2: Ideas that walking upright freed our hands to do tasks
26:03
Speaker 2: like tool use, encouraging individuals to specialize. Later, as human
26:08
Speaker 2: brains grew larger, that preference tips strongly toward the right
26:13
Speaker 2: hand across the whole population. Interesting. There's also this thing.
26:17
Speaker 2: You know, some people really seem to kind of hate
26:22
Speaker 2: on the lefties, and they would tell kids, no, no, no,
26:25
Speaker 2: you're right handed. Some of us ambidexterous. All right, let's
26:31
Speaker 2: talk about mustard frenches. They have their classic yellow mustard brand,
26:36
Speaker 2: right is going green for the summer. They've dropped a
26:39
Speaker 2: limited edition bright green mustard and it is a very
26:44
Speaker 2: cartoon like something Nickelodeon makes sense since the whole thing
26:48
Speaker 2: is tied to the upcoming Minions and Monsters movie that's
26:52
Speaker 2: out July the first. Apparently it tastes just like regular
26:56
Speaker 2: Frenches mustard, and the green color actually comes from uh
27:00
Speaker 2: Spirillina plant based natural ingredients and no Weird Artificial dies
27:05
Speaker 2: already online and starts hitting stores June first. Look great
27:10
Speaker 2: on hot Dog, wouldn't it. That'll do it for this
27:13
Speaker 2: Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
27:17
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
