- 0:00Speaker 1: I get a team. It's a You Project, of course
- 0:02Speaker 1: it is. Patrick's here, Tips here, I'm here. I hope
- 0:06Speaker 1: you're well. Hope you're enjoying the You Project. And if
- 0:08Speaker 1: you're not part of our little online group, a Rooney,
- 0:12Speaker 1: the You Project Facebook group is available for you.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Is that what it's called the You Project podcast? Or
- 0:18Speaker 2: I don't know, it's something of that group. I should
- 0:23Speaker 2: I should probably know.
- 0:24Speaker 1: But there's about four thousand of us that jump on
- 0:27Speaker 1: there and talk, and young Danny this week had something
- 0:30Speaker 1: to celebrate.
- 0:31Speaker 2: In the group. We all did that, like a.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Little online community where people just support each other in
- 0:37Speaker 1: all the good things. So if you're not part of that,
- 0:39Speaker 1: there's no hooks, catches or agendas. You just jump in
- 0:42Speaker 1: and chat or jump out whatever the case. Hi, Patrick, Hey, Hey,
- 0:46Speaker 1: doing be part of the group? Kind of Yes and no?
- 0:51Speaker 3: Yes, I joined in.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Are you a member of the group?
- 0:54Speaker 3: I think so. Yeah, But I don't monitor social media anymore. Remember,
- 0:58Speaker 3: I just don't jump that's true.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. That's probably for the best.
- 1:04Speaker 1: But after talking to David Gillespie the other day, I
- 1:06Speaker 1: was a bit depressed but also a little bit enlightened.
- 1:10Speaker 1: So I'm right now curating my relationship with social media
- 1:17Speaker 1: and all of my attention regarding all things electronic high
- 1:22Speaker 1: TIV high harms.
- 1:24Speaker 4: How are you fabulous? Friday morning?
- 1:28Speaker 1: Now, Patrick and I saw that some male was in
- 1:31Speaker 1: the background before.
- 1:32Speaker 2: We went live. I'm not sure that either he or
- 1:35Speaker 2: I have given any kind of approval for that.
- 1:40Speaker 4: Earlier in the morning to walk the dog.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Yes, it is that what he does. Oh sorry, I
- 1:44Speaker 3: thought it was a letter from Australia Poste.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's like a dog walker man, is he?
- 1:50Speaker 4: Yes? Yes?
- 1:52Speaker 1: Why was he in pajamas and my pajamas, I mean jocks?
- 1:58Speaker 1: Why was the dog walker man knewed in the background?
- 2:01Speaker 2: What was that about? Did you giggling? Giggling like a
- 2:06Speaker 2: fucking guilty school girl? And Patrick's like, I wish I
- 2:10Speaker 2: had one of them in my background.
- 2:12Speaker 3: I was just going to say that I couldn't say
- 2:15Speaker 3: you must have X ray glasses because he looked pretty
- 2:17Speaker 3: close to me.
- 2:20Speaker 1: We're just fucking around for the show. Patrick, you're familiar
- 2:24Speaker 1: with entertainment, No, you're familiar with that. No, but thanks
- 2:27Speaker 1: for that. You really added to what was going on.
- 2:30Speaker 4: Truth get in the way of a good story, Patrick.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Yeah, just let that.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Just let that roll now, Patrick, You've been the victim
- 2:38Speaker 1: of a vicious crime up there in the place where
- 2:41Speaker 1: you once bragged about how safe and beautiful it was.
- 2:46Speaker 1: You don't lock your car, you don't lock your house.
- 2:48Speaker 1: But you do, now, don't you.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Well?
- 2:51Speaker 3: I do lock my car, but it was parked across
- 2:54Speaker 3: the road on one of those really hot days under
- 2:57Speaker 3: a tree because there was no shade, and I left
- 3:01Speaker 3: it overnight and someone broke into it. Yeah, smashed the windows.
- 3:03Speaker 3: Wasn't fun. But I had my backpack in it, which
- 3:06Speaker 3: is what I take to tai Chi with all my
- 3:08Speaker 3: notes and fans and a little bit of equipment and yes,
- 3:12Speaker 3: my wallet. I know everyone's been telling me how dumb
- 3:17Speaker 3: I am, and one friend in particular, Hi Sylvia, it
- 3:21Speaker 3: constantly tells me how dumb I am, So thanks for that.
- 3:24Speaker 3: But yeah, the police were really lovely. The forensic guys
- 3:27Speaker 3: were really good. But the crims or krim, I don't
- 3:30Speaker 3: know if it was more than one person were wearing
- 3:32Speaker 3: gloves so they couldn't take any prints. But but digital tracking,
- 3:37Speaker 3: thank you. They used my credit card at nine different
- 3:40Speaker 3: locations as they drove back to Melbourne. So wow, Melbourne. Yeah,
- 3:45Speaker 3: and the good thing is police have CCTV footage, so
- 3:48Speaker 3: I'm hoping that my stupidity may actually lead to a conviction.
- 3:52Speaker 3: So in some ways it's a good thing.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Will you be locking it moving forward all the time
- 4:00Speaker 2: or just a look it?
- 4:01Speaker 3: And I always lock it, but I just didn't have
- 4:03Speaker 3: it in the driveway where I normally have it nice
- 4:05Speaker 3: and safe where the camera is, and it was out
- 4:07Speaker 3: of the range of the camera.
- 4:08Speaker 1: So it's not a good feeling, is it when you
- 4:12Speaker 1: walk up to your car, or like, I've had a
- 4:14Speaker 1: few things happen over the years where you go, yeah,
- 4:17Speaker 1: you come to a door at your house and like
- 4:19Speaker 1: I didn't leave that open or whatever makes you feel
- 4:22Speaker 1: sick in the guts.
- 4:23Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember I lived. I was
- 4:25Speaker 3: renting a place in Tuak, which again is supposedly a
- 4:28Speaker 3: nice area, and I had my camera in the glovebox,
- 4:32Speaker 3: but this is before they had screens on the back
- 4:34Speaker 3: of it was a Kodak digital camera, one of the
- 4:36Speaker 3: very first ones, and it got stopped and anyway, I
- 4:40Speaker 3: thought maybe I'll just check out a few of the
- 4:42Speaker 3: pawn shops to see a few weeks later. Anyway, when
- 4:46Speaker 3: I walked out of club X. Sorry, I mean the
- 4:49Speaker 3: places that you can dock your wares, not wear your hawks.
- 4:58Speaker 3: You know, a lot a log chapel street at all
- 5:01Speaker 3: those places.
- 5:02Speaker 2: I'm not helping you out. You dug this fucking hole.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I saw it coming from two acres away.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Anyway, I went to one to watch.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Fortunately, Tiff is the best crowd in.
- 5:14Speaker 3: The world, and you are lucky when I do stand up, Tiff,
- 5:18Speaker 3: you are still going to be there right at the
- 5:21Speaker 3: front of everybody. Thank you. Anyway, so I walk in
- 5:26Speaker 3: and I see this camera that's identical to my camera
- 5:29Speaker 3: on sale, and I asked the guy, you know is
- 5:33Speaker 3: can I check out the camera? I said, if you've
- 5:34Speaker 3: got the box and cables for it and a mate
- 5:36Speaker 3: just as is. So I looked at it and the
- 5:39Speaker 3: memory card was full, and I knew that my memory
- 5:41Speaker 3: card and my camera had been full. And then I
- 5:44Speaker 3: opened up the back of it and they had Panasonic batteries.
- 5:47Speaker 3: And Panasonic batteries aren't that common in a lot of devices,
- 5:51Speaker 3: you know, you tend to get durusale and ever ready,
- 5:53Speaker 3: so I thought, I reckon, this is my camera. So
- 5:55Speaker 3: I went to the local police station and the desk
- 5:58Speaker 3: sergeant a person at the desk said, nah, we can't
- 6:01Speaker 3: do anything. You know, there's not much we can do.
- 6:02Speaker 3: But a COIB detective happened to be walking past and
- 6:06Speaker 3: he turned to me and said, oh, what happened to
- 6:08Speaker 3: your camera? And I told him the whole story. He said, right,
- 6:10Speaker 3: let's jump in the car and go and have a look.
- 6:12Speaker 3: He was a lovely guy. And we're driving there he says, yeah,
- 6:15Speaker 3: this bloody licensed thieves. So anyway, the short story is
- 6:19Speaker 3: I took the camera. We got the camera, took it
- 6:21Speaker 3: back to my place, and I had the box and
- 6:24Speaker 3: packaging for it. Serial codes matched, so I knew it
- 6:27Speaker 3: was my camera. I had to buy it back.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Oh my god.
- 6:32Speaker 3: I had to buy it back for the price that
- 6:34Speaker 3: the porn shop had purchased it for because even though
- 6:38Speaker 3: I could prove it was my camera, they had ID
- 6:41Speaker 3: stolen ID that that had been used to verify the
- 6:45Speaker 3: person's sale. But anyway, so it's just I know it's
- 6:47Speaker 3: a bit of a long winded story. Apologies for that,
- 6:49Speaker 3: but you're right, Craigo, you do feel somewhat violated when
- 6:54Speaker 3: something gets stolen that doesn't belongs to you.
- 6:57Speaker 1: It's not a competition, but I'll share one with you
- 7:00Speaker 1: that was a good one I bought when I had
- 7:03Speaker 1: Harper's on the Highway that he used to train at,
- 7:05Speaker 1: when Tiff was just you know, doing year twelve fuck
- 7:09Speaker 1: and squeezing a z it's and trying to figure out
- 7:11Speaker 1: what she wanted to do in the next you'll doing.
- 7:13Speaker 2: That decade or two.
- 7:16Speaker 1: So I bought a new motorbike patrick which I was
- 7:19Speaker 1: called a Suzuki eleven hundred hour, which was one of
- 7:22Speaker 1: the first of the super bikes in that kind of
- 7:26Speaker 1: it looked like something you would ride on the track
- 7:29Speaker 1: but on the street, right early days of those superbikes,
- 7:32Speaker 1: and back then it's probably twenty five years ago or something.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Cost me.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Like twenty three or four grand, which was a fortune,
- 7:40Speaker 1: probably like fifty grand now.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Anyway, blue and white, beautiful, amazing. Went out.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I won't say where I bought it, but anyway, went
- 7:49Speaker 1: out to this place which is not near my house.
- 7:51Speaker 1: It's the only place in Victoria I could get one.
- 7:53Speaker 1: They'd just been released. Bought it, and while I was there,
- 7:58Speaker 1: I bought this like fucking I don't know what it was,
- 8:00Speaker 1: titanium chain or something that you can't cut through, and
- 8:04Speaker 1: just so I could lock. Apart from the steering lock
- 8:07Speaker 1: on the bike, I could also lock it so nobody
- 8:10Speaker 1: could pinch it. Blah blah blah, and I was I
- 8:15Speaker 1: had to go back the next day to pick it up.
- 8:17Speaker 1: So anyway, I went back the next day, because that's
- 8:20Speaker 1: pre deliberate all that. I picked it up. Friend of
- 8:22Speaker 1: mine dropped me off road at home Bibby Bobby Boo.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Still hadn't seen one on the road, so I was
- 8:28Speaker 1: super proud of myself. Next day, I was going to
- 8:30Speaker 1: work driving and I saw opposite me at an intersection
- 8:38Speaker 1: in fact, Nepeane Highway South Road, opposite me, going the
- 8:42Speaker 1: opposite direction to me. Of course, I go, oh my god,
- 8:45Speaker 1: there's my bike. Little did I know it was actually
- 8:49Speaker 1: my fucking bike, right, And I'm like, look at that, dude,
- 8:53Speaker 1: and it's the same and it's you know, obviously I
- 8:55Speaker 1: hadn't memorized the number plate, but I didn't even think.
- 8:58Speaker 2: And then later that day I got home and clearly
- 9:00Speaker 2: mine was gone.
- 9:02Speaker 1: So I actually saw the guy flogging my riding away
- 9:06Speaker 1: on my bike, and I'm thinking what a gun is
- 9:09Speaker 1: because he's got a bike like me. And then but
- 9:13Speaker 1: the dumb thing that I did was, so you buy
- 9:16Speaker 1: it from and of course most dealers are not like this.
- 9:19Speaker 1: But you buy it from the dealer and you pick
- 9:21Speaker 1: it up tomorrow. So they can cut a key to
- 9:24Speaker 1: the bike. They can cut a key to the padlock.
- 9:26Speaker 1: All the bits and pieces I bought for security, they
- 9:29Speaker 1: can replicate in the day between when you sign on
- 9:32Speaker 1: the dotted and when you get it. So the guy
- 9:35Speaker 1: who stole it, at the very least worked for the dealership,
- 9:40Speaker 1: or worked for the dealership, or knew someone who did.
- 9:43Speaker 1: So he just came to my joint, which he also
- 9:45Speaker 1: had the address because I signed all the paper, drove
- 9:49Speaker 1: to my joint, or got dropped off, had all the
- 9:51Speaker 1: keys unlocked, everything just rode it away And you're like, ah,
- 9:57Speaker 1: and then, which is understandable. But then I got interrogated
- 10:01Speaker 1: for about four hours by the fucking insurance company like
- 10:05Speaker 1: I was a criminal and I had done this.
- 10:08Speaker 2: So yeah, I sympathize with you.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, that's that's pretty fun, isn't it.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Oh Yeah, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. What are we what
- 10:20Speaker 2: are we teching today? Is there anything that takes your
- 10:23Speaker 2: fancy or do you.
- 10:24Speaker 3: Just want me to throw a CPR CREPR story. And
- 10:29Speaker 3: this is one of the most bizarre things. It doesn't
- 10:33Speaker 3: surprise me in the slightest. Meta basically had patented. It's
- 10:39Speaker 3: come out that they painted a AI that would continue
- 10:43Speaker 3: to post for you when you die.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Who yeah, who wants that?
- 10:51Speaker 3: Yeah? So now this happened in December, and they weren't
- 10:55Speaker 3: the first to do it. Microsoft actually had the same
- 10:57Speaker 3: idea but then shelved it's saying, yeah, probably a bit
- 11:01Speaker 3: creepy if we have a Chatbotton model. This was that
- 11:03Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one. But they're saying now, no, no, no,
- 11:07Speaker 3: we're not really going to use it. The idea had
- 11:11Speaker 3: come out of so say, for example, Crago on the
- 11:14Speaker 3: typ channel on Facebook decides to go away on an
- 11:19Speaker 3: extended holiday. You could effectively use this to post for
- 11:23Speaker 3: you while you're on a break, and I think part
- 11:26Speaker 3: of the idea. And then someone thought, ky, but what
- 11:28Speaker 3: if someone dies, it could keep posting for them, and
- 11:31Speaker 3: soily and you know that if you can, if you
- 11:34Speaker 3: could put all of your collected works into an AI,
- 11:38Speaker 3: it would really be able to mimic your voice. So
- 11:41Speaker 3: in a lot while it could effectively and who knows
- 11:44Speaker 3: down the track podcasting it could you know, it could
- 11:47Speaker 3: just be Tiff and I and an AI.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Well, very well could be.
- 11:51Speaker 1: I mean the quality of the kind of AI podcasts
- 11:55Speaker 1: that are using, you know, celebrities voices a part some
- 12:00Speaker 1: times from the cadence or the timing. But it's pretty indistinguishable.
- 12:04Speaker 1: I mean it is, but it's getting very close to
- 12:06Speaker 1: being you wouldn't know. So I also see that some
- 12:11Speaker 1: artists and writers, and I thought this would be the case,
- 12:15Speaker 1: quite hesitant to disclose when they're using AI or collaborating
- 12:20Speaker 1: with AI. What do you think the reason is for that?
- 12:24Speaker 1: Just embarrassment or fear of losing legitimacy or legitimacy.
- 12:28Speaker 3: There's a perception out there if you're an artist and
- 12:31Speaker 3: you say, oh, yeah, by the way, I used AI
- 12:34Speaker 3: to help get some themes for my new book, then
- 12:37Speaker 3: the authenticity and the sense of creativity is diluted.
- 12:41Speaker 2: I think yes.
- 12:43Speaker 3: But interestingly, there was a little bit of a research study,
- 12:47Speaker 3: and what they did was they took two and a
- 12:48Speaker 3: half thousand creative professionals and across four continents, and this
- 12:54Speaker 3: is a study done in twenty twenty four, and they
- 12:56Speaker 3: found that eighty five percent of them we're using AI
- 12:59Speaker 3: in work. Now, if you use AI to help you
- 13:03Speaker 3: get organized in the day, you help manage your emails,
- 13:07Speaker 3: and then you jump into the creative process. Even then,
- 13:11Speaker 3: the fact that AI is helping you was still a
- 13:13Speaker 3: bit of a stigma for most people. That the perception
- 13:17Speaker 3: was that you were almost like you're cheating by using AI.
- 13:21Speaker 3: I mean, I think I use it for concept work
- 13:24Speaker 3: sometimes if I'm stuck on an idea and then I think, well, yeah,
- 13:28Speaker 3: maybe I'll just jump into AI. Sometimes it's awful, it's terrible.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Other times you think, oh, yeah, that's not a bad idea.
- 13:34Speaker 3: I think that at the end of the day, it's
- 13:36Speaker 3: just like any tool. I'm sure you know people were
- 13:39Speaker 3: saying this when computers came out, and you know the
- 13:43Speaker 3: fact that we were using these devices or adding machines,
- 13:47Speaker 3: you know, calculators rather than an advocate. Yeah, and I
- 13:52Speaker 3: think it's just about global acceptance that, you know, as
- 13:54Speaker 3: it gets more and more integrated. I know that when
- 13:57Speaker 3: I take a photograph and I send peopleographs, now I
- 14:01Speaker 3: have an option to press a button and it's nano
- 14:04Speaker 3: banana on my phone and wow, lick the nano banana button.
- 14:08Speaker 3: I can change that photo. Before I send it. So
- 14:12Speaker 3: I was sitting talking to some friends. We were in
- 14:14Speaker 3: a walking group. We go walking together every Thursday morning.
- 14:17Speaker 3: We've been doing it for about fifteen or sixteen years,
- 14:20Speaker 3: and then we have a coffee afterwards. And I was
- 14:22Speaker 3: explaining this to a friend of mine. She was talking
- 14:24Speaker 3: about using AI and so I took a photo of
- 14:27Speaker 3: the group of people sitting at the table, and I
- 14:30Speaker 3: just in the prompt, I said, turn this into a
- 14:32Speaker 3: Christmas scene. Suddenly there was a Christmas tree in the background,
- 14:37Speaker 3: ballbles and decorations on the table, and you know, the
- 14:41Speaker 3: same people were there. One person was a little Christmas
- 14:44Speaker 3: hat and it did literally changed the you know what
- 14:48Speaker 3: was there. But it makes me wonder too. The reality
- 14:52Speaker 3: was so clear, it looked so real. I almost turned
- 14:56Speaker 3: it around to the other people and said, hey, remember
- 14:58Speaker 3: this is funny. We were sitting in the same positions
- 15:00Speaker 3: this time last year in December, you know, just to
- 15:03Speaker 3: see if I could fool anybody, because not everybody was
- 15:06Speaker 3: listening to the conversation. There were people in their own conversation,
- 15:09Speaker 3: you know, when you sit around with a group of people.
- 15:11Speaker 3: But the reality, well, the reality is there is no reality.
- 15:15Speaker 3: You know, are we being deceived. Well, yeah, maybe we are.
- 15:19Speaker 3: And credibility, where does that work? I mean, you use
- 15:22Speaker 3: AI all the time.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Craigo, I use it for different things.
- 15:25Speaker 1: But it's interesting you say this because, like all of
- 15:29Speaker 1: the stuff that I write on Instagram, if you don't
- 15:31Speaker 1: follow me on Instagram, folks, that's fine. But if you
- 15:34Speaker 1: want to just quig Anthony Harper. But like, I'll put
- 15:37Speaker 1: up some things like I'm just looking at one post
- 15:40Speaker 1: right now.
- 15:40Speaker 2: I wanted to read you this for a reason. It
- 15:42Speaker 2: just says it's handwritten on a whiteboard by me, one
- 15:45Speaker 2: hundred percent original. It's not brilliant.
- 15:47Speaker 1: But of course life's a shit show and then it's awesome,
- 15:49Speaker 1: and then you're sad and then happy, and then it's lunchtime.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Your challenge is not to create a perfect life, but
- 15:55Speaker 1: rather to thrive in the inevitable imperfection of it all. Now,
- 15:58Speaker 1: I've posted that post probably fifteen times over the last
- 16:03Speaker 1: few years, and the worst it ever gets is a
- 16:07Speaker 1: million views. One time it got two and a half
- 16:09Speaker 1: million views. Right, so I thought, I'm going to take that.
- 16:14Speaker 1: I took that and a few other higher rating ones,
- 16:16Speaker 1: and I wrote, so these are posts that I put
- 16:19Speaker 1: on Instagram on hundred percent original, written with my hand
- 16:22Speaker 1: on a whiteboard, taken a photo of tied it up
- 16:25Speaker 1: a bit, you know, made a bit clearer and cleaner.
- 16:29Speaker 2: I want you to come up with a post.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Similar to this or similar to these, written in my style,
- 16:34Speaker 1: a bit of swearing, whatever, but original. They were fucking terrible,
- 16:40Speaker 1: like terrible, like not like, oh my god, you couldn't
- 16:45Speaker 1: you know. But if you want to go, hey, tell
- 16:47Speaker 1: me a funny story about how the pyramids were built, well,
- 16:50Speaker 1: it can crush that, right, Or you want to give
- 16:54Speaker 1: me your thoughts on like yesterday. I'll talk for a
- 16:57Speaker 1: minute or two and then I'll shut up. But this
- 16:59Speaker 1: is very relevant to you.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Have you opened the door at all on AI agents
- 17:08Speaker 2: like agentic ai?
- 17:10Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit. It just looks into.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Okay, So I just want to read this because this
- 17:14Speaker 1: blew me away. So agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence
- 17:18Speaker 1: systems that don't just respond to prompts. They take initiative,
- 17:23Speaker 1: set goals, make decisions, and act autonomously to achieve an objective.
- 17:29Speaker 1: In simple terms, traditional AI answers questions, agentic AI pursues outcomes.
- 17:35Speaker 1: And this is happening now. The core idea. Most current
- 17:40Speaker 1: AI tools, including chat assistance, are reactive. You asked the answer,
- 17:44Speaker 1: agentic ai is goal oriented and self directed.
- 17:48Speaker 2: You give it an outcome that you want.
- 17:51Speaker 1: It figures out the steps, it executes them, and it
- 17:54Speaker 1: adapts if and when needed. Key features of agentic ai
- 17:59Speaker 1: goal rn entered works to find towards defined objectives. Autonomous
- 18:03Speaker 1: decision making chooses actions without human input, planning ability breaks
- 18:09Speaker 1: large goals in small blah uh. I'm like, this is
- 18:12Speaker 1: just a person. This is a person. And I was
- 18:14Speaker 1: listening to a guy yesterday who's the boss of Uber.
- 18:19Speaker 1: His name is Dara Koshwahari or something. But anyway, when
- 18:25Speaker 1: he took over Uber, they were losing three billion a
- 18:29Speaker 1: year in twenty seventeen. They are now making ten billion
- 18:33Speaker 1: a year. And he's they're implementing all of these kind
- 18:38Speaker 1: of you know, these AI kind of agents to take
- 18:44Speaker 1: positions and they're employing other people. They're still one of
- 18:47Speaker 1: the biggest employers in the world, but it's the shit
- 18:50Speaker 1: that's happening. It's almost like you can't keep up. And yeah,
- 18:55Speaker 1: because Melissa started telling me about she wants to build
- 18:58Speaker 1: this team of agents, and I'm like, haka, are you
- 19:01Speaker 1: going to sack Tiff?
- 19:02Speaker 2: And I what's going on?
- 19:04Speaker 3: So there's a really lovely sense of authenticity to you
- 19:10Speaker 3: writing your posts on a whiteboard and taking a photo
- 19:13Speaker 3: and putting it up there. Last year I did a little,
- 19:18Speaker 3: a little kind of project that I started for myself,
- 19:22Speaker 3: and I had a whiteboard marker in my bathroom and
- 19:24Speaker 3: on the mirror. Every night before I went to bed,
- 19:27Speaker 3: after I brushed my teeth, i'd write a high coup.
- 19:30Speaker 3: So that's a Japanese poem. It's a five seven five
- 19:33Speaker 3: syllable so one line of five syllables, one line of seven,
- 19:36Speaker 3: one line of five. And it was really interesting pushing
- 19:39Speaker 3: yourself to be creative. You know, at the end of
- 19:41Speaker 3: the day, I'm always a bit tired, but I really
- 19:44Speaker 3: set myself a goal to write a highkup every single day,
- 19:48Speaker 3: and it was such a fun challenge. And I started
- 19:50Speaker 3: taking photos of them, which was kind of fun. You know,
- 19:53Speaker 3: I'd have to go back and look for them, and
- 19:54Speaker 3: I don't think they were earth shattering, and I don't
- 19:56Speaker 3: think I'm going to publish a book of haiku. But
- 20:00Speaker 3: there was a study recently a psychologists now saying that
- 20:03Speaker 3: people who write shopping lists. Physically writing a shopping list
- 20:07Speaker 3: rather than typing it into your phone. Instead of that,
- 20:11Speaker 3: they're actually using a cognitive processing and that actually strengthens
- 20:15Speaker 3: your memory. It's also intention and presence, and that doesn't
- 20:21Speaker 3: happen when you type it into a phone. So physically writing,
- 20:24Speaker 3: forming the words helps with the intention and the intent
- 20:29Speaker 3: and memorizing what it is on that list. So I
- 20:31Speaker 3: thought that's interesting and the fact that doing that, And
- 20:35Speaker 3: I know we've laughed at me many times about the
- 20:37Speaker 3: fact that I like to use a fountain pen. But
- 20:40Speaker 3: I love writing still and I adore writing, and I
- 20:43Speaker 3: still like using technology. But it's interesting, isn't it.
- 20:47Speaker 2: I'm with you. I think it is.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of mellow drama at the moment
- 20:50Speaker 1: around around apps and around the use of AI, and
- 20:54Speaker 1: around the use of social media broadly, but I think
- 20:58Speaker 1: that every individual needs to be I have this chat
- 21:01Speaker 1: with Gillespie and tiff about, you know, just like, really,
- 21:08Speaker 1: what is happening with these brains that are getting hijacked
- 21:11Speaker 1: by this medium? And so literally you it takes your attention.
- 21:17Speaker 1: You're not choosing what to focus on, it's choosing for you.
- 21:21Speaker 1: And so now you are just a passenger. You're not
- 21:23Speaker 1: driving the bus like it has your attention, not the
- 21:27Speaker 1: other way around. So it's like I thought about it,
- 21:32Speaker 1: and definitely I've got an issue, definitely, and I have
- 21:36Speaker 1: to change it because it's my brain is my most
- 21:39Speaker 1: important tool and if anything that's going to kind of
- 21:43Speaker 1: impact my ability to think clearly, focus, create resolved problems,
- 21:46Speaker 1: you know, like use my brain well and keep my
- 21:49Speaker 1: brain healthy. To me, it's almost like I'm doing all
- 21:53Speaker 1: this training then coming home and eating doughnuts and pizza.
- 21:56Speaker 1: That's the that's the analogy for me, Like I do
- 21:59Speaker 1: all of this work with my brain and then I
- 22:01Speaker 1: just fucking unplugged my brain and let this thing hijack
- 22:06Speaker 1: my prefrontal cortex. So I'm off line and it's online
- 22:10Speaker 1: and it's I fucking hate it.
- 22:12Speaker 2: I've got to stop it.
- 22:13Speaker 3: I got a really interesting email during the week from
- 22:15Speaker 3: one of our listeners. Dale is his name Dale Patterson,
- 22:19Speaker 3: and it was a blog article that he sent through
- 22:21Speaker 3: to me about AI slop. And it's a guy by
- 22:25Speaker 3: the name of Gwinder whose handle is Gerwinder, and it's
- 22:29Speaker 3: a blog called The Prism. And what he did was
- 22:32Speaker 3: he took a whole lot of phrases, and he just
- 22:35Speaker 3: kind of paraphrased each of the key terms. So one
- 22:37Speaker 3: of them was the one percent rule. So in online communities,
- 22:42Speaker 3: one percent of users produce almost all of the content. Yeah,
- 22:47Speaker 3: the ninety nine consumers, the one person generating a content.
- 22:50Speaker 3: And then he talked about slopaganda. More online articles are
- 22:54Speaker 3: now written by AI than humans, so if you look
- 22:57Speaker 3: at an article, there's a good chance that it's going
- 23:00Speaker 3: to be an AI written article, not a human one. Moloch'spargan.
- 23:05Speaker 3: This is when large learning models so AIS compete for
- 23:10Speaker 3: votes on social media, so they push lies and rage
- 23:14Speaker 3: bait to actually win. So it's not about it's trying
- 23:17Speaker 3: to get that engagement and to get the most posts
- 23:19Speaker 3: possible or the most likes possible, So that doesn't matter.
- 23:23Speaker 3: There's no filter to say this is actually really crap.
- 23:26Speaker 3: It's just about getting that algorithm right. But this is
- 23:30Speaker 3: the one that made me think of what you were
- 23:32Speaker 3: just talking about before and switching off. I love the
- 23:35Speaker 3: paradox of boredom. We walk around with the most powerful
- 23:40Speaker 3: supercomputers that you can imagine in our pocket, and the
- 23:45Speaker 3: reality of that means the second that you get bored,
- 23:48Speaker 3: and I do this all the time. I swipe, I
- 23:51Speaker 3: jump on, I look at it, and for me it's
- 23:52Speaker 3: reading articles or whatever it happens to be looking at
- 23:55Speaker 3: YouTube reels. But the reality of it is, we don't
- 23:58Speaker 3: get bored anymore because we've always got something there to
- 24:01Speaker 3: keep us entertained. And boredom is what fuels creativity, not
- 24:06Speaker 3: having technology. So because our brains are constantly looking for
- 24:10Speaker 3: that excitement, it's there all the time. But if we
- 24:13Speaker 3: take that away, if we say to ourselves, Okay, I'm
- 24:16Speaker 3: going to go cold turkey on this, I'm going to
- 24:18Speaker 3: go Could you imagine going away for a weekend and
- 24:21Speaker 3: not taking your phone? Yeah, I've beach or going like
- 24:26Speaker 3: or a walk.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Yeah, but that, if I'm being honest, would that scare
- 24:31Speaker 1: me a little bit? It would, which is probably why
- 24:34Speaker 1: the fuck I should do it. I think we bullshit ourselves.
- 24:38Speaker 1: I think most people that I know, I don't think
- 24:41Speaker 1: you're one. I'm not Tiff would have to decide for myself,
- 24:44Speaker 1: but most people that I know, including me, actually have
- 24:48Speaker 1: a little bit of a problem. I'm not saying it's
- 24:51Speaker 1: life destroying, but I'm like, I definitely have something that
- 24:54Speaker 1: I need to put on my big boy pants and go, Yeah,
- 24:57Speaker 1: I waste time and I do the thing that I
- 25:00Speaker 1: tell people not to do, and I don't even I
- 25:04Speaker 1: kind of choose it.
- 25:05Speaker 2: But you know, the story is always I'm just going
- 25:07Speaker 2: to see what's happening with this, And then forty minutes later,
- 25:11Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't even know what started me. But
- 25:13Speaker 2: here I am forty minutes later, and I've just wasted
- 25:16Speaker 2: forty minutes of energy and fucking time productivity. You know.
- 25:20Speaker 3: So I don't know what I should bring up this
- 25:23Speaker 3: next topic because I know that you're going to ridicule me.
- 25:26Speaker 3: And I was watching a documentary recently on a new
- 25:30Speaker 3: term in the community online called gooning. Do you know
- 25:34Speaker 3: what gooning is? Do either of you know what gooning is?
- 25:39Speaker 2: I do not carry on.
- 25:42Speaker 3: I feel like the person, why why do you do.
- 25:44Speaker 1: This if you know it's going to not produce a
- 25:46Speaker 1: good response. What's your agenda? What's your reason?
- 25:51Speaker 3: I have no agenda. I'm trying to educate the masses
- 25:54Speaker 3: to masses.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Can look at you, Jesus, trying to educate the masses.
- 26:00Speaker 3: Two masses debating? No, okay, because okay, so gooning is
- 26:04Speaker 3: a term that's used to prolong the sexual build up.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Wow, right, so well there's only one of us, well
- 26:14Speaker 1: one two of us on this goal.
- 26:16Speaker 3: For whom that is relevant, well yeah, anyway, it could
- 26:20Speaker 3: be one.
- 26:21Speaker 1: But I did the same thing with food. I just
- 26:23Speaker 1: walk around it for half an hour and think about it.
- 26:26Speaker 3: But the frightening thing about this documentary that I saw
- 26:29Speaker 3: is that people can engage in this by just looking
- 26:34Speaker 3: at pornography. They have multiple screens, projectors, and all they
- 26:37Speaker 3: do is they spend a whole lot of time. We're
- 26:39Speaker 3: talking hours, eight hours, nine hours, ten hours just looking
- 26:43Speaker 3: at pornography. And there's a whole online communities that are
- 26:47Speaker 3: now dedicated to this. So once upon a time, it
- 26:49Speaker 3: was kind of embarrassing, Oh well you know, I kind
- 26:52Speaker 3: of that person did whatever. But now it's become a
- 26:55Speaker 3: whole thing. But talk about throwing your life away. I
- 26:59Speaker 3: mean I couldn't imagine spending a whole day like yeah anyway.
- 27:04Speaker 1: But I find that sad because that one hundred percent
- 27:08Speaker 1: nobody's doing that who's not an addict. Yeah, nobody's doing
- 27:12Speaker 1: that for any logical, healthy reason. Yeah, I mean all
- 27:16Speaker 1: of those people are addicted. Could be anything else. But
- 27:18Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I don't know that's stuff.
- 27:21Speaker 2: It's like yeah, and.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Then well, artificial intimacy. And I'm kind of jumping off
- 27:26Speaker 3: that topic. But on that same list that I was
- 27:28Speaker 3: talking about the blog, you know, I had a young
- 27:33Speaker 3: guy who was sharing a long story anyway, lived me
- 27:36Speaker 3: be for three years, got kicked out of home. He
- 27:39Speaker 3: and his girlfriend were sitting on the couch once and
- 27:41Speaker 3: they were they were comparing how many friends they had
- 27:44Speaker 3: on their Facebook, on their facebooks, and I thought, they're
- 27:48Speaker 3: not your friends. You know, this artificial intimacy. You know,
- 27:54Speaker 3: no one on your Facebook list, if you've got a
- 27:57Speaker 3: thousand Facebook friends, No, they're not your friends.
- 28:01Speaker 2: But do you know what is interesting? One, you're correct.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Two from a psychological, sociological, and experiential.
- 28:09Speaker 2: Perspective, this is what I think.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Let's say somebody's got an AI friend and the net
- 28:15Speaker 1: result of their AI friend is positive. I'm not saying
- 28:19Speaker 1: that's always a case, of course it isn't. But somebody
- 28:22Speaker 1: who lives in rural wherever they live ten miles from
- 28:26Speaker 1: the next house, they're a bit disconnected. Maybe they've got
- 28:29Speaker 1: a few personal challenges, but every day they get up
- 28:32Speaker 1: and they talk to this friend and for them they
- 28:37Speaker 1: feel better, they feel you know, and obviously it's not
- 28:41Speaker 1: a real human and obviously the emotions.
- 28:45Speaker 2: The other way anyway are not real. But for the.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Person, those emotions and feelings might be real, which means
- 28:51Speaker 1: the net result the experience is good, which is not
- 28:55Speaker 1: saying I think everyone should be doing that. But I
- 28:57Speaker 1: think this area of the impact of relationships with different
- 29:04Speaker 1: forms of technology, I think that's going to become more
- 29:09Speaker 1: and more of a thing because I think.
- 29:11Speaker 2: People are going to more and more people are.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Going to have, for want of a more accurate term,
- 29:15Speaker 1: relationships with virtual entities.
- 29:18Speaker 3: I want one. I can't wait. I cannot wait, And
- 29:22Speaker 3: I think we talked about it on the last podcast.
- 29:24Speaker 3: I want an AI assistant. You know in the Iron
- 29:27Speaker 3: Man film's table that's different.
- 29:29Speaker 1: An II assistant is not an emotional relationship.
- 29:32Speaker 2: But if we're talking about intimacy, but.
- 29:35Speaker 3: No, I'm thinking, like in your case, you've got Melissa,
- 29:37Speaker 3: I'm thinking that where you've got someone you can talk to,
- 29:41Speaker 3: you can kind of say, well, what's happening today, what's up?
- 29:43Speaker 3: You know, have a full on confirmation. I know what
- 29:46Speaker 3: you're saying. But I think that eventually the more you
- 29:49Speaker 3: rely on that. I mean in the I'm talking about
- 29:52Speaker 3: a movie here, but we all felt kind of, you know,
- 29:55Speaker 3: warm about Javis, the AI that Tony Stark uses. I thought,
- 30:00Speaker 3: I want him to be my friend too. So I think,
- 30:03Speaker 3: even though we know it's an AI, even though we
- 30:05Speaker 3: know it's a chat bot or whatever, that it would
- 30:07Speaker 3: be impossible not to form some sort of connection, some
- 30:10Speaker 3: sort of fondness for that entity that is with you
- 30:14Speaker 3: every day if you wake up chatting and what am
- 30:17Speaker 3: I doing today? How can I better do this? Because
- 30:19Speaker 3: we start to rely on it, and that crutch that
- 30:23Speaker 3: we start to use, it can be beneficial. It'll be fantastic.
- 30:26Speaker 3: Don't forget to do this. Don't forget to do that.
- 30:28Speaker 3: You know, you know we've got this coming up. I
- 30:32Speaker 3: think that we would eventually form a relationship of sorts
- 30:35Speaker 3: with whatever AI chat what we're using.
- 30:38Speaker 1: And put up your hand. If you've ever been in
- 30:40Speaker 1: an unhealthy human relationship, everyone in the fucking world, you know, yes,
- 30:45Speaker 1: Tip's ready.
- 30:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:46Speaker 5: Come thinking about the impact, the long term impact of
- 30:50Speaker 5: just another area in our life where we are essentially
- 30:53Speaker 5: avoiding discomfort because I think about the conversations I've had
- 30:57Speaker 5: on friendships and relationships where rupture and repair is what
- 31:02Speaker 5: creates depth and intimacy. And yet then somebody chooses this
- 31:09Speaker 5: AI version of friendship which gives them all the feel goods.
- 31:11Speaker 4: But it's another area that.
- 31:13Speaker 5: We always having every other area of life where we
- 31:16Speaker 5: don't have to get uncomfortable, and in future then we
- 31:19Speaker 5: avoid it more and more, and what little connection we
- 31:22Speaker 5: already had with real people will have less of because
- 31:25Speaker 5: it's too hard. I'm not willing to get uncomfortable. I'm
- 31:28Speaker 5: not willing to express needs or show up for the
- 31:30Speaker 5: other person because in this relationship with AI, it's all
- 31:34Speaker 5: about me.
- 31:35Speaker 3: It's one sided. Yeah, that's so interesting, Tip, I actually
- 31:38Speaker 3: really like that point. I've often talked. You know, I've
- 31:40Speaker 3: got really close friends that have very differing political views,
- 31:45Speaker 3: I mean extremist political views. You know, they think veganism
- 31:49Speaker 3: is a wank. They like Donald Rump, you know they Yeah,
- 31:54Speaker 3: it's quite funny, and and but I like them a lot.
- 31:59Speaker 3: They're the lovely people. They're great friends. And if I
- 32:04Speaker 3: had an AI chatbot, it would just agree with everything
- 32:06Speaker 3: that I said. I love what you just said, Tip,
- 32:08Speaker 3: It's so true, and I love the challenges. I love
- 32:11Speaker 3: the diversity of people in my life. I like people
- 32:13Speaker 3: to argue with me, tell me I'm wrong, you know,
- 32:17Speaker 3: nag me for leaving my wallet in the car. But
- 32:21Speaker 3: the reality of it is here, who wants a whole
- 32:23Speaker 3: lot of yes men around you just kind of they're
- 32:25Speaker 3: telling you that you're great all the time.
- 32:27Speaker 5: How good is it when you've got a friend and
- 32:29Speaker 5: they're having a hard time and you get to show
- 32:31Speaker 5: up for them?
- 32:32Speaker 4: Well I was not going to do that.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, you make valid points. I think.
- 32:41Speaker 1: I hear what you're both saying. I think it's a
- 32:42Speaker 1: little bit situation and context dependent, you know. I think
- 32:46Speaker 1: a lot of people don't have anyone that gives a
- 32:48Speaker 1: fuck about them, like really really really loves them and
- 32:51Speaker 1: really cares. And there are a lot of people who
- 32:53Speaker 1: are deeply, deeply sad and disconnected and alone. And I
- 32:58Speaker 1: don't for any minute think that AI is the answer
- 33:01Speaker 1: to that, just like I don't think one person is
- 33:04Speaker 1: the answer.
- 33:06Speaker 2: For any do you know what I mean? I think
- 33:07Speaker 2: the answer is us trying to figure out ourselves and
- 33:10Speaker 2: to understand our.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Own mind and our own emotions and our own behaviors
- 33:13Speaker 1: and our own subjective experience of life and to work
- 33:16Speaker 1: through that. But I think it's like it's for some
- 33:20Speaker 1: people it's going to be a positive addition to their life,
- 33:24Speaker 1: and for some people it's going to lead to some unhealthy, toxic, devastating,
- 33:29Speaker 1: bloody relationship or shudo relationship. But just like you know,
- 33:33Speaker 1: you've got someone in your life now, and from the
- 33:35Speaker 1: outside looking into it, if it seems to me overwhelmingly positive,
- 33:42Speaker 1: you know, but then you've also had other humans in
- 33:45Speaker 1: your life where that was the opposite, and the same
- 33:48Speaker 1: with me, It's like, I don't think because you know,
- 33:54Speaker 1: we build this connection, rapport and trust and love, which
- 33:56Speaker 1: is great, but as we know, that doesn't all ways
- 34:00Speaker 1: work out over the long term. So but you're right
- 34:03Speaker 1: in that, you know, being able to have hard relationships
- 34:07Speaker 1: and to be reflective and to be able to kind
- 34:09Speaker 1: of figure out what's going on with me really and
- 34:12Speaker 1: what's going on with me in relation to other people.
- 34:15Speaker 1: But I think nonetheless that moving forward, there will be
- 34:20Speaker 1: you know, in a decade, the prevalence of these kinds
- 34:24Speaker 1: of relationships I think is going to be high high.
- 34:29Speaker 2: Patrick.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Let's digress a little bit, because I saw this on
- 34:33Speaker 1: Telly or somewhere I saw this about this dude who
- 34:37Speaker 1: was trying to hack his robot. He's a programmer, and
- 34:43Speaker 1: he hacked his bloody vacuum he's robot vacuum because he
- 34:47Speaker 1: wanted to use it with his game console. And he
- 34:50Speaker 1: ended up hacking six seven hundred vacuums around America and
- 34:56Speaker 1: he could see into all these like he could literally
- 34:59Speaker 1: had video into all of these homes in real time of.
- 35:02Speaker 2: What people were doing. That's wasn't it. Yeah, that's fucking terrifying.
- 35:07Speaker 3: So Dji is the company that makes the amazing drones
- 35:12Speaker 3: that are very popular around the world. I think I've
- 35:15Speaker 3: exclusively had Dji drones. I still fly them. But they
- 35:19Speaker 3: released the Dji Romo robot vacuum cleaner recently. And so
- 35:25Speaker 3: this guy who was a bit of a security expert
- 35:27Speaker 3: and decided he wanted to use his joystick controlleries and
- 35:30Speaker 3: you know, his game control I think was the Xbox
- 35:32Speaker 3: controller or to control the vacuum. Thought would be a
- 35:35Speaker 3: bit fun, and then realized getting into the base code
- 35:39Speaker 3: that because they talked back to the bay station and
- 35:42Speaker 3: they learn because the idea of these robot vacuums is
- 35:45Speaker 3: they look at the world around them. They map the
- 35:47Speaker 3: area and then they use that to be able to
- 35:50Speaker 3: effectively clean better. But yeah, this is amazing. So he
- 35:54Speaker 3: didn't need a security pin or anything because he already
- 35:56Speaker 3: had an account. He was able to log in and
- 35:59Speaker 3: get access to other vacuum cleaners. And the scary thing
- 36:02Speaker 3: is that they have light sensors that can sense the
- 36:05Speaker 3: objects around them. They make maps of the house, and
- 36:08Speaker 3: they also have cameras. It's a frightening thought that someone
- 36:11Speaker 3: could then literally use your own device against you, to
- 36:15Speaker 3: spy on you, to map out your house, to look
- 36:17Speaker 3: at what you've got.
- 36:18Speaker 2: And it's crazy, as I understand it, correct me if
- 36:21Speaker 2: I'm wrong, but yet one that is fucking terrifying.
- 36:23Speaker 1: But the dude who did that obviously did it accidentally.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Then he went to whoever he needed to go to
- 36:28Speaker 1: and went, hey, guess what, I did this accidentally and
- 36:34Speaker 1: kind of put up his hands so that he wouldn't
- 36:36Speaker 1: be charged with any kind of I'm sure that's that's
- 36:40Speaker 1: a crime if he was doing it intentionally. But so yeah,
- 36:43Speaker 1: I think he just demonstrated to them that their system
- 36:48Speaker 1: or their.
- 36:48Speaker 2: Tech was relatively hackable and flawed.
- 36:51Speaker 3: Yeah, there are a lot of white they call them
- 36:53Speaker 3: white hat hackers out there that actually support the industry.
- 36:57Speaker 3: They look for vulnerabilities. Google has a competition that it
- 37:00Speaker 3: runs to try to get people to find vulnerabilities in
- 37:03Speaker 3: its systems, and then it gives them, it rewards them.
- 37:06Speaker 3: So yeah, there are a lot of really good programmers
- 37:08Speaker 3: out there who were altruistic and in some cases get
- 37:11Speaker 3: rewarded for that. But I thought this was interesting. And
- 37:14Speaker 3: the other thing as well. I didn't realize that robot
- 37:16Speaker 3: vacuum cleaners have microphones in them as well, the ultimate
- 37:19Speaker 3: spy device in the way.
- 37:21Speaker 2: Why would they need that.
- 37:23Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not sure. Yeah, I don't know.
- 37:26Speaker 3: Maybe you can talk to them, Crago. It's like, hey,
- 37:28Speaker 3: little fella came over here. It's pretty lowly at my joint.
- 37:35Speaker 2: So they're launching a timber, yeah, wooden satellite that surely
- 37:41Speaker 2: that seems inconsistent with going into space like shit burning up.
- 37:46Speaker 3: No, No, quite the opposite. In fact, it's and shit
- 37:48Speaker 3: burning up is exactly right, So you're kind of right
- 37:51Speaker 3: and wrong. There was a bit of work done on
- 37:54Speaker 3: the International Space Station, and I think we chatted about
- 37:56Speaker 3: this maybe two years ago, where they were testing different
- 38:00Speaker 3: sorts of wood to see what their resilience was like
- 38:03Speaker 3: in space. Space debris and the chemicals that are released
- 38:08Speaker 3: into the atmosphere when a lot of satellites burn up
- 38:10Speaker 3: in the atmosphere, Aluminium, that sort of stuff are actually
- 38:13Speaker 3: quite toxic chemicals. And so a Japanese company has been
- 38:17Speaker 3: doing a lot of research into the concept of encasing
- 38:21Speaker 3: the satellite in wood, and it looks like that the
- 38:26Speaker 3: Ligno SAT is the first wooden satellite that's going to
- 38:29Speaker 3: be sent into space. And the reason that it's going
- 38:33Speaker 3: to be great is because when it eventually expires, it's
- 38:36Speaker 3: used by date. When it burns up in the atmosphere,
- 38:39Speaker 3: it's just wood, and it's not going to release I mean,
- 38:41Speaker 3: it's still going to have obviously electronics inside it, you know,
- 38:44Speaker 3: they're not carving up transistors like hand camping transistors. But
- 38:48Speaker 3: the bulk of the satellite, the exterior part, and it's
- 38:51Speaker 3: quite durable. The interesting thing that came out of this
- 38:53Speaker 3: research on the International Space Station is when you take
- 38:57Speaker 3: wood into space, there's no back to and there's no
- 39:00Speaker 3: moisture the things that normally will cause wood to rot,
- 39:05Speaker 3: so all the you know, and so when you think
- 39:07Speaker 3: about it. It's the perfect material to go out into
- 39:11Speaker 3: space because it's it's going to be fairly resilient. And
- 39:14Speaker 3: that's what came up during this research study. And now
- 39:17Speaker 3: the practical example is it looks like they're going to
- 39:19Speaker 3: fire off this, not fire off, they're going to put
- 39:22Speaker 3: it on board a launch saddle, a launch rocket, and
- 39:26Speaker 3: wooden satellites would be great.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Based on your no bacteria and no, what was the
- 39:31Speaker 2: other thing you said, like.
- 39:33Speaker 3: Because it's fro it's cold, So there's so the water
- 39:35Speaker 3: won't be rotting because bacteria is in water.
- 39:37Speaker 1: I guess No, No, you said in no space, in space,
- 39:39Speaker 1: there's like what causes the wood to write normally he's
- 39:43Speaker 1: not up there.
- 39:44Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, so bacteria and water.
- 39:48Speaker 1: So I'm wondering if old mate was in space at
- 39:50Speaker 1: the space station and someone died and you just pushed
- 39:53Speaker 1: him out the door, would he just be held in
- 39:56Speaker 1: state perpetually kind of.
- 39:57Speaker 2: In space embarment and then you could.
- 40:01Speaker 1: Go grab him a couple of decades later, when we
- 40:04Speaker 1: figured out how to kind of restart the bit.
- 40:06Speaker 2: That broke and just pull him back on board, and
- 40:09Speaker 2: he's like, fuck, that was a good sleep. Yeah, you've
- 40:12Speaker 2: been sleeping for twenty five years, bro.
- 40:15Speaker 3: The Ultimate Crygenics. Yeah, that's right.
- 40:18Speaker 1: Hey, one battery swap, we're talking about cars. I don't
- 40:21Speaker 1: even know how would you do that? I must be
- 40:23Speaker 1: done by a machine. A battery slap. I'll swap. Obviously,
- 40:28Speaker 1: we're talking about EV's in less than zero point five seconds.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Neo sets new record for four consecutive days. So that
- 40:38Speaker 1: is battery life in evs and the technology around that
- 40:43Speaker 1: is changing pretty quickly.
- 40:45Speaker 3: So yeah, there's two aspects to that. So obviously, the
- 40:48Speaker 3: duration it takes to charge a battery has been a
- 40:52Speaker 3: bit of a pushback in the market because people do
- 40:54Speaker 3: want to wait all that time. So in China, Neo
- 40:58Speaker 3: has they do it. I think they've up over one
- 41:01Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five thousand battery swaps since they were
- 41:03Speaker 3: set up, and that's an amazing amount. So they basically
- 41:07Speaker 3: have a concept whereby if you buy this car, there
- 41:10Speaker 3: are all these service stations that are around China that you
- 41:12Speaker 3: can go to where you do a swap and go
- 41:15Speaker 3: so you don't charge the battery. They have a stock
- 41:17Speaker 3: supply of ready charged batteries and they swap and go
- 41:20Speaker 3: and the swap stations are now getting more batteries, they're
- 41:26Speaker 3: getting faster the technology because it used to take a while.
- 41:28Speaker 3: It used to take five minutes, four to five minutes
- 41:31Speaker 3: for the battery to be taken out and then swapped,
- 41:34Speaker 3: but now it's a lot more efficient. They've got a
- 41:36Speaker 3: lot better with it. And I know we spoke about
- 41:37Speaker 3: this with the motorcycle manufacturers, the top I think top
- 41:41Speaker 3: three motorcycle manufacturers, but they just electric cycles haven't taken
- 41:44Speaker 3: on very much. The e bikes have and they're ridiculously fast,
- 41:49Speaker 3: and legislations trying to catch up with that. The latest
- 41:52Speaker 3: on that is that I know I'm digressing, but the
- 41:54Speaker 3: latest on the e bikes thing is that they want
- 41:57Speaker 3: to actually classify them as motorbikes and make people will
- 42:00Speaker 3: have bikes bike licenses to be.
- 42:02Speaker 1: Able to well, they are essentially a lot of them.
- 42:05Speaker 1: But I think the thing that non motorbike people don't
- 42:11Speaker 1: really get about motorbikes, and Tip can speak to this
- 42:15Speaker 1: is who the fuck wants to ride something that's silent,
- 42:19Speaker 1: Like for me, it's about it's about the visceral, the vibration,
- 42:23Speaker 1: it's about the noise, it's about the throttle response, it's
- 42:27Speaker 1: about like and also one of the reasons people love
- 42:31Speaker 1: evs is because they're much faster than fuel cars or
- 42:36Speaker 1: internal combustion engines, right, but that's not the case with motorbikes.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Like my motorbikes are faster than you need. So yeah,
- 42:46Speaker 1: but nonetheless, I think they will take off, and they
- 42:48Speaker 1: are building, but I think it's going to be a
- 42:50Speaker 1: slower uptake because most motorcyclists ride them because they love motorbikes,
- 42:56Speaker 1: whereas a lot of people drive because they've got to
- 42:59Speaker 1: get from A to B.
- 43:01Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point. I was fascinated to see
- 43:05Speaker 3: that earlier this month, that company Neo with the swapover batteries.
- 43:09Speaker 3: They did the one hundred millionth battery swap, one hundred
- 43:13Speaker 3: million battery swap. That's crazy, so is it?
- 43:18Speaker 2: I don't know if you know. But so, like you
- 43:20Speaker 2: go to a servo, you put in your patrol, you
- 43:22Speaker 2: pay your eighty bucks or whatever you pay. So with
- 43:24Speaker 2: this you go and you get your battery slap swapped over,
- 43:27Speaker 2: and there's a set like obviously that's not for zero,
- 43:31Speaker 2: so they must have to go and pay a set
- 43:33Speaker 2: and fee every time that happens.
- 43:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I'm I'm not entirely sure how
- 43:38Speaker 3: that how it works, what the charge would be. Yeah,
- 43:40Speaker 3: but for the convenience, that'd be awesome, wouldn't it.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 43:44Speaker 1: Tip, Would you drive an EV as in a car?
- 43:46Speaker 1: Have you thought about I mean your cars?
- 43:49Speaker 2: It's not that at all, but it's what is your
- 43:51Speaker 2: car four or five years.
- 43:53Speaker 5: One's at twenty eighteen, so.
- 43:58Speaker 2: That's eighty ish years old. Would you X car? What
- 44:00Speaker 2: are the what are the percentage chances of your next
- 44:04Speaker 2: car being an EV?
- 44:05Speaker 4: I mean I'm not that far.
- 44:07Speaker 5: I'm not a real car person, so I don't like
- 44:09Speaker 5: the driving experience. I just find them. They when they
- 44:12Speaker 5: take off in front of me or I hear them,
- 44:14Speaker 5: they still freak me out. I find them weird, especially
- 44:17Speaker 5: EV buses, Like, yeah.
- 44:22Speaker 3: Buses are there, there's not that churning polluted diesel smell.
- 44:26Speaker 3: You know, if you're sitting behind on a bike, that'd
- 44:28Speaker 3: be awesome sitting behind an electric.
- 44:31Speaker 2: Very valid, very valid point, Patrick.
- 44:33Speaker 1: I have nearly died of carbon fucking monoxide poisoning a
- 44:38Speaker 1: thousand times, sitting behind fucking buses and trucks that are
- 44:42Speaker 1: just spewing out toxic shit into my face, that's not
- 44:47Speaker 1: the attractive part of it, be on the open road,
- 44:51Speaker 1: the fresh air.
- 44:53Speaker 3: The interesting point to that is that I think with
- 44:56Speaker 3: the EV market, my wish for that would be totally
- 45:00Speaker 3: aonymous EV. So I'm not talking about going for the
- 45:03Speaker 3: weekend drive. I'm thinking the commute because you put if
- 45:07Speaker 3: you put AI in charge of EV on the road
- 45:11Speaker 3: during the commute during the peak hour, I guarantee you
- 45:15Speaker 3: peak hour won't be as bad as what it is now,
- 45:18Speaker 3: take the huge kind of human error out of it,
- 45:22Speaker 3: and that's where I see it would be really good
- 45:24Speaker 3: for the daily commute. So people could be working in
- 45:27Speaker 3: their cars listening to an audiobook not having to worry
- 45:29Speaker 3: about that, no accidents on the roads, or less accidents
- 45:32Speaker 3: on the road. So I think that's where the combination
- 45:34Speaker 3: of EV and a AI together would be great. But
- 45:38Speaker 3: when I had my car windows smashed last week, I
- 45:41Speaker 3: got a courtesy car through my insurance company, and it
- 45:45Speaker 3: was the Toyota Corolla Hybrid. And I've got to tell
- 45:49Speaker 3: you four point eight liters per one hundred kilometers, so
- 45:53Speaker 3: it ran off the smell of an oily rag. But
- 45:56Speaker 3: because it's a pretty the Toyota have been doing hybrids
- 45:59Speaker 3: for a long time. There is a battery button where
- 46:03Speaker 3: if you stay below forty kilometers an hour, I could
- 46:06Speaker 3: drive to the supermarket Nana style and not use any
- 46:10Speaker 3: petrol at all. And that was playing with battery a
- 46:13Speaker 3: lot when I was driving the car sticking under forty.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Well, they were pioneers with the press, which was I
- 46:22Speaker 1: don't know, thirty five years ago, and that was one
- 46:25Speaker 1: hundred percent ev back then, and we're all like, that's
- 46:27Speaker 1: fucking that's never going to take off.
- 46:31Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was going to say to you,
- 46:35Speaker 2: it's something on the tip of my tongue. Oh, that's right.
- 46:37Speaker 1: That guy Dara from Uber they were talking about.
- 46:42Speaker 2: This was on Diary of a CEO, Stephen Bartlett.
- 46:46Speaker 1: They were talking about the reality that autonomous vehicles avs
- 46:52Speaker 1: are going to overtake or going to play a very
- 46:56Speaker 1: big role in the Uber space and the.
- 46:58Speaker 2: Like moving forward.
- 47:01Speaker 1: And he said, like, they're talking about what are the
- 47:04Speaker 1: potential hurdles with people getting in a car with no driver,
- 47:07Speaker 1: and it's all really psychological and emotional, and I would
- 47:12Speaker 1: have to look at the research, but what he said
- 47:15Speaker 1: is that it's about ten times safer. So autonomous vehicles
- 47:20Speaker 1: are about ten times safer than humans driven by vehicles,
- 47:23Speaker 1: and they've got lots and lots and lots of data.
- 47:25Speaker 1: It's just that the idea still freaks people out. So
- 47:29Speaker 1: I would gladly get in an autonomous vehicle. I would gladly.
- 47:34Speaker 2: I could think of nothing better than just sitting back,
- 47:37Speaker 2: just doing whatever, or having a snooze. You love driving, though,
- 47:41Speaker 2: don't you.
- 47:42Speaker 3: I enjoy driving, and I've got to tell you, I
- 47:44Speaker 3: was devastated when the car got broken into because I
- 47:47Speaker 3: love my cart cause I'd never had a new car before.
- 47:50Speaker 3: It always bought secondhand cars, and the previous car I
- 47:54Speaker 3: had was probably one of the ugliest cars on the
- 47:57Speaker 3: market during my reno. Sce Nick McGahan, I know.
- 48:00Speaker 2: You've had a couple of ugly cars. That fucking this
- 48:03Speaker 2: and that Burgundy and that was an ugly motherfucker.
- 48:07Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're in my mother Jesus, Like I said,
- 48:11Speaker 3: I said, motherfucker.
- 48:12Speaker 2: Let's be clear.
- 48:14Speaker 3: That's a good looking car. Then, Nissan NXR Coop is
- 48:17Speaker 3: a bloody good looking car. I got to tell you anyway,
- 48:20Speaker 3: aside from the insights, because it even had a target roof.
- 48:22Speaker 3: You could take the roof section trick. Can we stop
- 48:24Speaker 3: talking about your car? I think we spoke about it
- 48:26Speaker 3: five times this podcast. Could you get onto some tech news? Okay,
- 48:31Speaker 3: my latest app session? Can I tell you about my
- 48:34Speaker 3: latest app?
- 48:35Speaker 1: Yeah, for God's sake, just don't talk about you fucking
- 48:38Speaker 1: broken window again.
- 48:39Speaker 3: I never used it in my car. Okay, you're not
- 48:42Speaker 3: a law to use your apps on your phone. So
- 48:47Speaker 3: I found I discovered this app recently called yucker y
- 48:50Speaker 3: U k A. And what it is. It's a free app,
- 48:55Speaker 3: doesn't have ads, but you do have a subscription tire.
- 48:58Speaker 3: But you can go to the souper market and scan
- 49:01Speaker 3: the barcode of all the products in the supermarket and
- 49:04Speaker 3: it tells you whether it's good, and it gives you
- 49:06Speaker 3: a breakdown and it says, okay, this is good for
- 49:09Speaker 3: this reason, this reason, this reason, but it's bad for
- 49:12Speaker 3: that reason. It might have too many two caloric so
- 49:14Speaker 3: it might have too many calories, or it might have
- 49:17Speaker 3: preservatives in it that are known to be harmful. It
- 49:20Speaker 3: has changed the way I shop for stuff. You know,
- 49:24Speaker 3: I use coconut cream in a lot of my pasta
- 49:26Speaker 3: sources because I don't use real crane. But there were
- 49:30Speaker 3: nine different creams and coconut milks, and only one of
- 49:36Speaker 3: them rated good. The rest of them were rated bad.
- 49:39Speaker 3: So the app's fantastic. And the other thing that I
- 49:41Speaker 3: can do is I can you can set filters, So
- 49:43Speaker 3: if you say, for example, were gluten intolerant, you could
- 49:47Speaker 3: set a gluten intolerant feature, and then when you scan stuff,
- 49:50Speaker 3: without having to read the barcode or read the contents,
- 49:54Speaker 3: it'll instantly tell you whether it's safe for you to have,
- 49:57Speaker 3: or if you've got a nut allergy, or in my case,
- 49:59Speaker 3: I set it for VA because I can't read bloody
- 50:01Speaker 3: labels anymore. I need a magnifying glass, or I take
- 50:04Speaker 3: a photo of the label and zoom in because it
- 50:07Speaker 3: takes forever to work out what all those numbers mean
- 50:10Speaker 3: and whether they contain an animal product or if it's
- 50:13Speaker 3: nuts or whatever. So it's yeah, it's my absolute obsession.
- 50:16Speaker 3: And the more I tell people about it, the more
- 50:18Speaker 3: people say, oh, yeah, I got it as well. It
- 50:20Speaker 3: sounds it's got minivative.
- 50:23Speaker 2: What's the problem with that? Do you think? What's the
- 50:25Speaker 2: potential problem with that app? Because I think you and
- 50:28Speaker 2: I might be thinking the same thing.
- 50:30Speaker 5: I just opened Chatters, and when is the yaka app
- 50:33Speaker 5: good and what's its philosophy?
- 50:34Speaker 4: With what is good?
- 50:36Speaker 5: In?
- 50:37Speaker 4: So I think you have to understand what.
- 50:39Speaker 5: You know about food and additives and like a lot
- 50:43Speaker 5: of the stuff David Gillespie talks about about seed oils
- 50:46Speaker 5: and everything, and yeah, what's its philosophy and what's it calling?
- 50:50Speaker 4: It was like the star rating on foods?
- 50:52Speaker 2: Yeah, and did you think Also, sorry, Patrick, I think
- 50:56Speaker 2: you just and I'm not saying it's bad.
- 50:57Speaker 1: It could be fucking amazing. So there's no judgment curiosity.
- 51:01Speaker 1: But like, for example, we have had too many talks
- 51:06Speaker 1: with David Gillespie about seed oils, but there is some
- 51:08Speaker 1: astounding science to support what he says. He never makes
- 51:12Speaker 1: a claim and doesn't back it up with proper research.
- 51:16Speaker 1: And then last night on the news on Channel seven,
- 51:18Speaker 1: they're like, ah, all the noise about seed oils, it's
- 51:21Speaker 1: not true.
- 51:22Speaker 2: They're all good. You know.
- 51:23Speaker 1: It's like they were just saying the exact opposite, but
- 51:26Speaker 1: nobody was referencing anything. Like the thing was, Nah, it's
- 51:30Speaker 1: not true. I'm a dietitian. It's good. Therefore you should
- 51:35Speaker 1: believe me because I'm no fuck that that's cool. You
- 51:37Speaker 1: might be true, you might be right, but give me
- 51:39Speaker 1: some science, give me some research, show me evidence that
- 51:42Speaker 1: what you're saying is true, because these things have been
- 51:45Speaker 1: happening for millennia, where we think something and then we
- 51:48Speaker 1: find out later like so many drugs like solidamide that
- 51:52Speaker 1: was given to pregnant women for this and that that
- 51:54Speaker 1: caused all these deformities. Well, at one stage this was
- 51:57Speaker 1: the right thing. You should have it, and it was
- 51:59Speaker 1: devastatedly terrible on women, right, but at one stage that
- 52:03Speaker 1: was good science. So I think we're so gullible that
- 52:06Speaker 1: we just go. My question would be with you, yaka
- 52:12Speaker 1: as you call it, like who science are you using?
- 52:15Speaker 1: Like what are the criteria that you are saying this
- 52:18Speaker 1: is good or bad? And how do we know that
- 52:20Speaker 1: you are right and the other people who say other
- 52:23Speaker 1: things are wrong. That's and by the way, everyone, I
- 52:27Speaker 1: have no opinion on it. It could be bloody brilliant
- 52:29Speaker 1: because I haven't even seen it.
- 52:30Speaker 2: But that's just what.
- 52:32Speaker 1: Even when I talk about science, or even when I
- 52:34Speaker 1: talk about potential behavior or choices around health and wellness,
- 52:39Speaker 1: I go, this is what I think. I don't go,
- 52:41Speaker 1: you should all do this because I've read a paper
- 52:45Speaker 1: or I've trained lots of people or yeah, I just
- 52:48Speaker 1: think that I think the concept is a good idea,
- 52:52Speaker 1: but I would just like to dig in.
- 52:53Speaker 2: And go, what's the science behind it?
- 52:56Speaker 1: And I know that sounds fucking worrying and I'm raining
- 52:58Speaker 1: on your parade, but I just think, Eh, you know,
- 53:02Speaker 1: it's like the Health Star rating system. Gillespie just wrote
- 53:05Speaker 1: an article on that. It's fucking incredible. So you get
- 53:09Speaker 1: something like a with the current Health Star rating system,
- 53:13Speaker 1: you can have a cereal that's full of process shit
- 53:17Speaker 1: and sugar.
- 53:19Speaker 2: Gets four and a half stars. In fact, he had
- 53:22Speaker 2: a photo of one. And then he had a free
- 53:24Speaker 2: range organic and I know you're not going to want this, Patrick,
- 53:27Speaker 2: but steak, so it had the only ingredient was beef.
- 53:30Speaker 2: It got zero point five stars compared to process sugary.
- 53:35Speaker 2: Fucking Now, it's like, this is fucking ridiculous and it's
- 53:41Speaker 2: based on all of these absolutely flawed criteria. But the
- 53:47Speaker 2: one before that, which was the there's another star rating system.
- 53:52Speaker 1: The way that people got the stars for their product
- 53:54Speaker 1: was they bought them. There was no actual analysis, like,
- 53:58Speaker 1: there was no nutrition, there was no science behind this rating.
- 54:04Speaker 2: It was like, ah, we have this, we want to
- 54:06Speaker 2: get your endorsement and they're like, wow, it's thirty grand
- 54:09Speaker 2: for that. Cool, here's the thirty or whatever. You know, Like,
- 54:13Speaker 2: it's just this stuff is don't believe everything that you
- 54:16Speaker 2: hear or see. It's like you've got to learn a bit. Yes, tip,
- 54:19Speaker 2: you've got your fingers twitching. I can tell, well, just
- 54:21Speaker 2: was reading.
- 54:22Speaker 5: Like one of the points that Chatters makes is that
- 54:25Speaker 5: it judges foods in isolation. For example, olive oil loses
- 54:28Speaker 5: points for calories, cheese looks worse than diet yogurt and
- 54:32Speaker 5: honey may not even get a score.
- 54:35Speaker 4: And then, yeah, we're relying on.
- 54:37Speaker 5: Being told what to eat, not how to think about
- 54:39Speaker 5: the food we eat.
- 54:40Speaker 2: I think the problem is that calories have been demonized.
- 54:43Speaker 2: It's like, well, dude, you fucking need calories every day.
- 54:46Speaker 2: It's calories aren't good or bad. It's how many you
- 54:49Speaker 2: have based on how many you expend. But there are
- 54:53Speaker 2: some things, certain chemicals and certain flavoroids and fucking preservatives
- 54:59Speaker 2: that unequivocally bad. So no amount is good. Sorry, Patrick, And.
- 55:05Speaker 3: It's been really good at educating myself to ultra processed stuff,
- 55:09Speaker 3: high sodium, that sort of thing. But I think the
- 55:12Speaker 3: other thing is the filtering for vegan because I can't
- 55:15Speaker 3: read the labels as well as I used to be
- 55:18Speaker 3: able to, so being able to quickly do that and
- 55:20Speaker 3: walk past. But you know, what I found was interesting too,
- 55:23Speaker 3: is that sometimes the cheapest stuff on the market in
- 55:26Speaker 3: terms of the amount of additives, because really, shelf life
- 55:32Speaker 3: is one of these things that producers want to be
- 55:35Speaker 3: able to have a product that stays on the shelf
- 55:37Speaker 3: as long as possible. You know, if you open up wraps,
- 55:40Speaker 3: or you know, if you buy raps at the supermarket,
- 55:42Speaker 3: the majority of them have a life shelf life of
- 55:44Speaker 3: like six months. I don't know any bread product that
- 55:47Speaker 3: should last six months. And even when you open it,
- 55:50Speaker 3: it can sit in the fridge for two weeks and
- 55:51Speaker 3: you think hasn't ever got any mold on it. You
- 55:54Speaker 3: know that you've got to ask the questions. You know,
- 55:57Speaker 3: those things actually safe. I'm making my own made wraps now,
- 56:00Speaker 3: I'm pretty happy with myself. So I'm just making it
- 56:03Speaker 3: from oat flour and lind seed that I mill myself,
- 56:07Speaker 3: and I've just.
- 56:07Speaker 2: Think that's a wise decision.
- 56:09Speaker 1: Also, I just wanted to jump back to what you
- 56:10Speaker 1: were talking about the nutritional labels, right you can't read them.
- 56:16Speaker 2: And the reason you can't read them is because it's
- 56:19Speaker 2: fucking size four fonts on the back of the box
- 56:22Speaker 2: down the bottom left or right hand corner, because they
- 56:26Speaker 2: don't want it to get any attention. What was in
- 56:29Speaker 2: that box was good news for them, it'd be all
- 56:33Speaker 2: over the front in big letters. So the front is
- 56:36Speaker 2: an ad. It's not information.
- 56:38Speaker 1: The shit in that box that they don't want you
- 56:40Speaker 1: to read, and the ingredients list that they don't want
- 56:44Speaker 1: you to read, with all those preservatives, additives numbers, that's
- 56:47Speaker 1: what you fuck. The front of the box. It's an ad.
- 56:50Speaker 1: It's a trick, it's a fucking it's a delusion. Like
- 56:54Speaker 1: go to the back and actually try to understand what
- 56:56Speaker 1: you're putting in your gob We've got to go give
- 56:58Speaker 1: us one more before we go cham your choice.
- 57:01Speaker 3: I'm so excited. Next week we've got a lunar eclipse
- 57:05Speaker 3: and it made me think about the new Artemis mission.
- 57:08Speaker 3: So the Artemis two mission is the astronauts. They're going
- 57:11Speaker 3: to be heading off soon this year. In fact, it's
- 57:14Speaker 3: only a short time away, and the people in the
- 57:17Speaker 3: Artomis spacecraft. We're going to go back to the Moon
- 57:20Speaker 3: they're not landing on the Moon, but they're going to
- 57:22Speaker 3: go around the Moon and run all these studies. But
- 57:25Speaker 3: because of the placement of the Moon, they're going to
- 57:28Speaker 3: be the furthest away from Earth than any other human
- 57:32Speaker 3: being in his wyow So cool.
- 57:35Speaker 1: Huh, you would love to go to space when that's
- 57:39Speaker 1: like that'd be you'd probably chop off a knacker for
- 57:42Speaker 1: that onenn't you?
- 57:42Speaker 5: Well?
- 57:43Speaker 3: I think last month last episode, I talked about a
- 57:46Speaker 3: company that's sending ashes into space. I want to get
- 57:50Speaker 3: my ashes sent into space. That's where I'm at. But
- 57:53Speaker 3: the other thing that I found interesting about the Artemis
- 57:55Speaker 3: mission is they're equipping the astronauts with ten year old
- 58:00Speaker 3: DSLR cameras Nicon cameras because there was a nick On
- 58:04Speaker 3: camera that came out, which is kind of fascinating. The
- 58:07Speaker 3: camera is twenty sixteen camera, the D five Nikon camera,
- 58:14Speaker 3: and it's got a it's more resilient to radiation and
- 58:18Speaker 3: it has a much higher ISO rating, So ISO is
- 58:22Speaker 3: the sensitivity to light, and it had this ridiculously good
- 58:27Speaker 3: sensitivity built into it that's more than the comp than
- 58:31Speaker 3: the current Nikons, which is fascinating, and it means that
- 58:35Speaker 3: contrast between the darkness of space and any object they're
- 58:38Speaker 3: taking photographs of. So that's what they're taking with them.
- 58:41Speaker 3: Ten year old cameras are going to be flying around
- 58:44Speaker 3: with human beings and going to be the furthest way
- 58:47Speaker 3: that any human's ever been in history.
- 58:51Speaker 1: Look at you, just bringing the bloody facts and the
- 58:54Speaker 1: amusement and the entertainment. Now I heard that you had
- 58:57Speaker 1: your car broken into. Ah, Patrick, of course can be.
- 59:04Speaker 1: Somebody wrote in the group, I hate it when you
- 59:06Speaker 1: ask Patrick where people can find you, Oh, because they
- 59:09Speaker 1: don't like So now I'm now I'm scared.
- 59:12Speaker 2: But oh well that's okay. I go.
- 59:15Speaker 3: If anybody wants to contact me, they can just go
- 59:17Speaker 3: to websites now dot com, dot a U and fill
- 59:20Speaker 3: out the form and just say hi, let us know
- 59:23Speaker 3: what you want us to do.
- 59:23Speaker 2: Oh okay, I was unaware. Thank you for bringing that up.
- 59:27Speaker 3: Tif did you know that I know? And also Tichi
- 59:32Speaker 3: at home, dot com, DoD au. I have all these
- 59:35Speaker 3: free exercises and you can meet Fritz my the Wonder dog,
- 59:38Speaker 3: and we can do tichee together.
- 59:41Speaker 1: Well yes, and also everyone, he doesn't get paid, so
- 59:44Speaker 1: give him a break.
- 59:44Speaker 2: He's allowed to promote we give him fuck all. You know,
- 59:48Speaker 2: he's only got he's got a devalued car.
- 59:51Speaker 1: Now he lives in fucking Upper oh. I can't say
- 59:54Speaker 1: what I was going to say, but it.
- 59:55Speaker 3: Would have been hilarious going to say yes exactly.
- 59:59Speaker 2: But you know who would have sent us an email?
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: Someone Tiff, thank you. Have a good Friday, both of you.
