Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I'll get a team. It's Craig, Anthony Heart, Tiffany and Cook, Patrick,
- 0:03Speaker 1: James Bonillo. It is you projected as a Friday. As
- 0:06Speaker 1: we record, it's five minutes past nine here in the
- 0:09Speaker 1: thriving metropolis of Melbourne where Tiffany and Cook is. It's
- 0:12Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four and it's about nine ninety eight where
- 0:15Speaker 1: Patrick is.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Hi everyone, Hi, Hi, gee, that was two in one go.
- 0:20Speaker 3: That's two.
- 0:22Speaker 1: I've just come in off the long run and I've
- 0:25Speaker 1: just released a fastball tiff House, Tassi.
- 0:29Speaker 4: I've literally just come in off a long run. See
- 0:32Speaker 4: I've read my faces.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I was looking at your face. I'm thinking you're
- 0:37Speaker 1: either really embarrassed or you've been doing something where your
- 0:41Speaker 1: heart rate's over one hundred.
- 0:42Speaker 3: It definitely is like running.
- 0:45Speaker 4: How good is it?
- 0:46Speaker 3: Though?
- 0:47Speaker 1: How far you right?
- 0:48Speaker 3: It is?
- 0:48Speaker 1: What's your hard you run?
- 0:50Speaker 3: I run ten cays and what's your heart rate? Well?
- 0:54Speaker 4: I got a little message on my garm and my
- 0:56Speaker 4: ma's heart rate just got increased to two oh one.
- 1:00Speaker 3: So what is it now?
- 1:01Speaker 2: We should track it in five minutes, Craig, go and
- 1:03Speaker 2: then incrementally see what.
- 1:05Speaker 1: It depends how long ago she stopped like if she
- 1:07Speaker 1: stopped three minutes ago, that would be interesting, but if
- 1:09Speaker 1: she stopped ten minutes ago, it wouldn't be How long, goo,
- 1:12Speaker 1: did you.
- 1:13Speaker 4: Finish fifteen minutes ago?
- 1:16Speaker 3: There you go?
- 1:17Speaker 1: So what's your heart rate right now? Can I guess?
- 1:20Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:21Speaker 1: Sixty one?
- 1:23Speaker 3: No?
- 1:24Speaker 4: What is it ninety? I actually have a high working
- 1:27Speaker 4: heart rate. My resting heart rates fifty right now luck
- 1:30Speaker 4: this week, right now. But when I move and exercise
- 1:35Speaker 4: it goes up.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not necessarily what's yours? Patrick? I see you
- 1:42Speaker 1: looking at your bloody data there on your wrist.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Well, my heart rate at the moment is varying between
- 1:48Speaker 2: about sixty if it's actually going up now it was
- 1:50Speaker 2: sixty two, it's now gone up to sixty four. But
- 1:53Speaker 2: my average is fifty three. So what is it about?
- 1:56Speaker 3: Sitting in the room with you too, I'll tell you
- 1:58Speaker 3: what I'm going to take.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Don't you look at it. I'm going to take my
- 2:01Speaker 1: shirt off and then let's see what happens.
- 2:03Speaker 3: And then can Tiff take her shirt off?
- 2:05Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 2:06Speaker 3: See, I nearly didn't put it on. I was that hot.
- 2:09Speaker 4: I only that's why I was a little bit later
- 2:10Speaker 4: I thought I'd better put my shirt on.
- 2:13Speaker 1: I think thanks for that. We're a family show.
- 2:15Speaker 3: It's got to seventy four. What the hell have you
- 2:18Speaker 3: even not off yet? It was Gus about it.
- 2:22Speaker 1: That's the thought of my pets being on the screen.
- 2:24Speaker 3: You's going back now, it's going higher.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Yeah, you couldn't fucking cope, bro, Patrick, how's life in
- 2:31Speaker 1: the bush? You know?
- 2:33Speaker 2: As I wandered down to my little studio, I picked
- 2:35Speaker 2: an apple from the tree as I sat down.
- 2:38Speaker 3: I mean, isn't life great?
- 2:42Speaker 1: I know? I'll tell you what. There's no one in
- 2:45Speaker 1: not too many people in suburbia picking an apple on
- 2:48Speaker 1: the way to their podcast studio, that is, or their
- 2:51Speaker 1: recording studio. I don't think I've ever heard that sentence,
- 2:54Speaker 1: and probably never will again, Tiff, just before we talk
- 2:57Speaker 1: about actual things, have you seen your granddad yet?
- 3:01Speaker 3: No? Not yet.
- 3:02Speaker 4: He's out for a country to drive today with some
- 3:04Speaker 4: friends before they go back to wherever they came from.
- 3:08Speaker 1: And how's one hundred and one looking on him?
- 3:12Speaker 4: Mate? How exciting?
- 3:13Speaker 1: Really good?
- 3:14Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 3:15Speaker 3: Oh that's amazing.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Yeah he's kicking it. Wow, mate, I am good.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Geens that helps doesn't when?
- 3:22Speaker 2: Yeah, look at that for a lineage pedigree.
- 3:27Speaker 3: He's Luna what have you done with Luna while you're away?
- 3:30Speaker 4: She's here with me. Yeah, come on the boat.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny, isn't it because they have two new
- 3:40Speaker 2: ships because you had to put Luna in a little
- 3:42Speaker 2: pound though, didn't you during the voyage? Because you know
- 3:45Speaker 2: the new ships that they've built that are currently I
- 3:48Speaker 2: think on'es in Norway ones in Scotland, they're now like
- 3:52Speaker 2: two or three years away. But the thing is you
- 3:55Speaker 2: were able to have in the new ships. You're going
- 3:57Speaker 2: to be able to go from Victoria Tasmane and back
- 4:00Speaker 2: and have your dog in the cabin with you.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Mm hmm, how good? Sayd I can't wait.
- 4:06Speaker 1: You can't pull the obvious question. I'm not even going
- 4:08Speaker 1: to ask it, but can you answer the obvious question?
- 4:11Speaker 3: What?
- 4:12Speaker 1: Or come on?
- 4:13Speaker 3: I don't know what's the obvious question? Well?
- 4:16Speaker 1: Ship the dog shit?
- 4:18Speaker 2: Well you dogs trained, Fritz will go for nine hours
- 4:22Speaker 2: without having to go.
- 4:24Speaker 4: There's no reted area on the ship where they can
- 4:27Speaker 4: take them for we wiz.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Yes, do they call that the ship shipping area?
- 4:32Speaker 3: Holy ship? Yeah?
- 4:34Speaker 1: Holy ship? All right, let's talk about technology, because that
- 4:39Speaker 1: that's our that's our mission, that's allegedly our mission every time.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Mate, Look, I just you know, I was reading social
- 4:51Speaker 2: media gets me a little bit riled. Okay, so I
- 4:55Speaker 2: stopped social media. I think about eight years ago. I
- 4:57Speaker 2: stopped using it personally. And it is a to get
- 5:00Speaker 2: caught up in the momentum of comments because once upon
- 5:04Speaker 2: a time, journalism was filtered. You had an editor and
- 5:08Speaker 2: anything that was published was vetted before it went. Now
- 5:12Speaker 2: with social media, it's like a you know, it's electronic vomit.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Anybody can say anything at any time, and it sparks debate.
- 5:19Speaker 2: And I was reading an article yesterday and flicking doom scrolling,
- 5:23Speaker 2: and it was an article in reaction to a radio
- 5:26Speaker 2: segment where people were getting really riled up about taking
- 5:31Speaker 2: your dogs to Bunnings. So for about eight years, the
- 5:34Speaker 2: Bunnings hardware store allows people to take their dogs.
- 5:38Speaker 3: So Fritzy comes with me all the time.
- 5:40Speaker 2: I love taking Fritzy to Bunnings and I put him
- 5:42Speaker 2: into the trolley and everyone loves Fritzy, so people come
- 5:45Speaker 2: over and pat him, and kids, you know, love him.
- 5:47Speaker 2: He's a great cute little dog and he's well behaved.
- 5:49Speaker 2: But it sparked all this controversy. But the article that
- 5:53Speaker 2: was published was just in reaction to this radio segment,
- 5:57Speaker 2: so really the journalist hadn't done any work.
- 5:59Speaker 3: It was just oating segments.
- 6:01Speaker 2: And what fascinated me was there are probably about seventy comments,
- 6:06Speaker 2: and I started flicking through the comments, and what really
- 6:09Speaker 2: got me was the anger, the absolute anger and angst
- 6:14Speaker 2: at people firing off at each other. So someone said, oh,
- 6:17Speaker 2: I can bring the dog, but you know, you shouldn't
- 6:19Speaker 2: let kids because kids are worse than pets. And other
- 6:22Speaker 2: people were saying, and I've seen dogs dogs pee on
- 6:24Speaker 2: the you know, on the products, and Buddings has this
- 6:28Speaker 2: philosophy that basically most dogs are actually well behaved. If
- 6:31Speaker 2: you're going to bring them into a large place like bunings,
- 6:34Speaker 2: most people do the right thing and it's very rare.
- 6:36Speaker 2: And if they do have an accident, well they have
- 6:39Speaker 2: clean up crews and that you can get a dog
- 6:41Speaker 2: bag and clean clean up after them. So they just
- 6:44Speaker 2: take that approach. But there it was so vehement, and
- 6:47Speaker 2: it's not so much the topic of whether you should
- 6:49Speaker 2: or shouldn't take dogs into places like buntings, because if
- 6:52Speaker 2: you go to Europe, you can take your dog anywhere.
- 6:55Speaker 2: You can go to a restaurant and if your dog's
- 6:57Speaker 2: well behaved, sits on the ground. You had a really
- 6:59Speaker 2: nice restaurant that in Vienna. It was amazing, a really
- 7:01Speaker 2: high class restaurant, and the people we were meeting had
- 7:04Speaker 2: a dog and it was fantastic. And because I like
- 7:07Speaker 2: to take my dog with me, then there's the idea
- 7:09Speaker 2: of companion dogs or support dogs. But what got me
- 7:13Speaker 2: more so it wasn't so much the debate but the
- 7:15Speaker 2: anger and just the fiery tension between the respondents. You know,
- 7:21Speaker 2: you've got the yes side the no side, but the
- 7:23Speaker 2: personal digs were people were making at each other.
- 7:26Speaker 3: So what causes that frenzy? And it does?
- 7:30Speaker 2: I mean you've probably seen those sorts of threads or
- 7:32Speaker 2: those comments or reactions on socials where people just get
- 7:36Speaker 2: so irate. And then it made me think, well, I
- 7:40Speaker 2: was going to respond because as you know, I'm a
- 7:42Speaker 2: passionate dog owner. Fritzy sitting right next to me in
- 7:44Speaker 2: my chair. But the reality of it is I started
- 7:47Speaker 2: to type and I thought, what am I going to
- 7:49Speaker 2: achieve by having to go at this person for saying
- 7:52Speaker 2: what they did or you know, trying to exercise my opinion?
- 7:56Speaker 3: And I just pulled back from it.
- 7:57Speaker 2: I deleted the message and I thought, I just don't
- 8:00Speaker 2: want to engage people.
- 8:03Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, maybe because you don't do social media,
- 8:08Speaker 1: Tiff and I are going, yeah, of course, Patrick, this
- 8:10Speaker 1: is what social media like. This is not I don't
- 8:13Speaker 1: mean to be rude. This is no revelation at all.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Like this is all day, every day on social media.
- 8:20Speaker 1: It's interesting. But look, here's what I think. I mean,
- 8:24Speaker 1: it's a revelation and it's interesting for you, and it's
- 8:26Speaker 1: good for me to see that because I'm like, I'm
- 8:29Speaker 1: so used to that and desensitized to that, and that's
- 8:33Speaker 1: I'm like, well, of course, but here's what you did
- 8:36Speaker 1: that's great is you consciously went I'm not giving this
- 8:40Speaker 1: my attention or energy. And I think that's the like
- 8:44Speaker 1: the good and bad of social media is like I
- 8:47Speaker 1: have over one hundred thousand followers on social media and
- 8:51Speaker 1: I only put good things into the world, and ninety
- 8:54Speaker 1: nine percent of the feedback that I get is positive
- 8:58Speaker 1: ninety nine percent, So I think it depends like to
- 9:02Speaker 1: me ultimately, can you hear that ambulance you guys? No?
- 9:08Speaker 3: Right mate?
- 9:09Speaker 1: Yeah, no, pretty good?
- 9:10Speaker 3: It wasn't for you?
- 9:11Speaker 1: Yeah, no, thanks, yeah, you hang on, am I having
- 9:13Speaker 1: a heart noe? But I think, like, ultimately, what is
- 9:18Speaker 1: social media? It's a technology that we can use. It's
- 9:22Speaker 1: a resource and if you want to, you know, it's
- 9:25Speaker 1: like you can kill someone with a knife or make
- 9:28Speaker 1: your dinner with a knife. Like ultimately most of them
- 9:31Speaker 1: think most of the things that we have or kill
- 9:34Speaker 1: someone and then make them your dinner. Yeah, sure there's that,
- 9:37Speaker 1: but I wouldn't recommend it. But it's like all of
- 9:40Speaker 1: these things are just tools and resources. So I don't
- 9:43Speaker 1: know that social media is arbitrarily bad or that it's
- 9:48Speaker 1: all vomit. I don't think the stuff I put into
- 9:51Speaker 1: the world via social media, I'm using the same platforms
- 9:54Speaker 1: that all the hate is on, but I choose to
- 9:56Speaker 1: put positive stuff. So I think it's personal responsibility. I
- 10:01Speaker 1: don't follow any of the horrible, ugly, you know, bullshitty ones,
- 10:06Speaker 1: and if it comes, something comes, I just scroll past
- 10:09Speaker 1: or I delete it. I think it's about using it consciously.
- 10:13Speaker 1: But you do raise a good point, like so much
- 10:15Speaker 1: of what is on there is fucking horrible, but you've
- 10:18Speaker 1: got to self regulate.
- 10:20Speaker 2: I was more thinking also in terms of whether you
- 10:22Speaker 2: engage or not, and I almost did, and then I
- 10:25Speaker 2: really stepped back from it.
- 10:26Speaker 3: I thought it through. It's funny.
- 10:28Speaker 2: I a friend of mine was, you know when you
- 10:31Speaker 2: send when someone sends an angry letter, they called it
- 10:34Speaker 2: a shitt agram.
- 10:35Speaker 3: I just really hit a gram fun it's funny. Yeah,
- 10:39Speaker 3: I thought that was quite funny.
- 10:40Speaker 2: But the problem with putting anything in writing is that
- 10:46Speaker 2: if you get angry in writing, you can I can
- 10:49Speaker 2: get angry with you right now, and then we'll shake
- 10:51Speaker 2: hands about it, and you know, buy each other a
- 10:53Speaker 2: coffee and we'll be fine. But if you put it
- 10:55Speaker 2: in writing, then you go back to it two days
- 10:58Speaker 2: later and you reread it and just as angry as
- 11:00Speaker 2: you were the first time you read it, and then
- 11:03Speaker 2: again and you get more angry, and you read it again,
- 11:05Speaker 2: and it keeps firing you up. And we have a
- 11:09Speaker 2: little internal policy in my office that if you feel
- 11:13Speaker 2: riled and you're going to send a challenging email, you
- 11:16Speaker 2: never put the email address in to the person you're
- 11:19Speaker 2: either responding to. So if you hit reply, take their
- 11:22Speaker 2: email address out, get it out on paper if you
- 11:24Speaker 2: feel you need to, or type it up or whatever.
- 11:27Speaker 2: But generally, if you walk away ten spend five minutes
- 11:31Speaker 2: and then come back to it it Actually you've calmed down.
- 11:34Speaker 2: I mean my heart rate dropped down to fifty two
- 11:36Speaker 2: just a moment ago. So whatever it was that was
- 11:39Speaker 2: riled me up that not you know, the thought of
- 11:41Speaker 2: your shirt coming off or something.
- 11:42Speaker 3: I don't know, but you.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Know, I mean, yeah, like what this is getting off topic.
- 11:48Speaker 1: We'll get on tech, but this is my little wheelhouse.
- 11:51Speaker 1: You know. It's like everyone thinks they're right. Yeah, Like,
- 11:55Speaker 1: this is the thing, whatever side you're on, religious, political,
- 12:00Speaker 1: whatever the issue, whatever the topic. Nobody who's writing that thing,
- 12:04Speaker 1: whatever angle or approach or perspective they have, nobody thinks
- 12:10Speaker 1: they're wrong. And this is the problem, you know, Like
- 12:14Speaker 1: I now, after getting things wrong, something's wrong and something's right.
- 12:18Speaker 1: For sixty years, I pretty much assume that anything that
- 12:22Speaker 1: I say, there's the potential that I'm wrong about it,
- 12:26Speaker 1: you know, or anything for which I don't have absolute
- 12:28Speaker 1: evidence or proof, Like if it's an opinion or an
- 12:31Speaker 1: idea or a theory, I'm well aware that I could
- 12:34Speaker 1: be wrong, and so I try not to wrap too
- 12:37Speaker 1: much emotion around it and go, look, this is what
- 12:41Speaker 1: I think, and this is why I think it. But
- 12:43Speaker 1: I could be wrong. You know, I think like a
- 12:46Speaker 1: world where people don't have to be right all the time.
- 12:50Speaker 1: We're never going to live in that world. But fuck,
- 12:52Speaker 1: that'd be a nicer place to inhabit, wouldn't it.
- 12:55Speaker 3: But isn't it interesting?
- 12:56Speaker 2: Though? We were talking about your thesis, and the whole
- 12:59Speaker 2: premise of sign is that you challenge, You always put
- 13:03Speaker 2: up and propose new ideas, and nothing is ever definitely,
- 13:08Speaker 2: infinitely written in stone as such, is it?
- 13:11Speaker 1: YEA, Yeah, that's true. I mean science is always evolving,
- 13:14Speaker 1: and knowledge is always evolving, and the way that we
- 13:18Speaker 1: design studies and run studies and interpret data, and I think, look,
- 13:24Speaker 1: it depends on the science. You know, when you talk
- 13:26Speaker 1: about biology and physiology and engineering and all of those things,
- 13:30Speaker 1: they're like hard sciences, whereas psychology is ah and I
- 13:35Speaker 1: love psychology, but it's very It's hard to measure the
- 13:40Speaker 1: mind because there is no such thing as onto logically,
- 13:45Speaker 1: which means there's no actual evidence for a mind. But
- 13:49Speaker 1: we're studying the mind and the workings of the mind
- 13:52Speaker 1: because all of the kind of processing actually happens in
- 13:55Speaker 1: the brain. So when you do it, even if I
- 13:58Speaker 1: said this yes on a podcast, but if you do
- 14:00Speaker 1: a search. If you go to any AI thing and
- 14:03Speaker 1: say is there evidence Is there scientific, hard evidence that
- 14:08Speaker 1: the mind exists, it'll say no, because all thinking and
- 14:13Speaker 1: all data processing and all interpretation actually happens in the brain.
- 14:18Speaker 1: So the mind, as we understand it, it's a concept
- 14:22Speaker 1: that helps us decode the workings of the brain. And
- 14:26Speaker 1: it's not a bad thing. But yeah, anyway, come.
- 14:31Speaker 3: On, all right.
- 14:33Speaker 2: I heard a new term the other day, digital shoplifting,
- 14:37Speaker 2: and it kind of blew my mind a little bit.
- 14:39Speaker 3: I hadn't ever thought about this.
- 14:41Speaker 2: So there was a bit of a research study that
- 14:44Speaker 2: was done and it was about a lot of wealthy
- 14:47Speaker 2: gen zs and millennials.
- 14:49Speaker 3: This is in the US, and evidently.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Half of them, who were earning over one hundred thousand
- 14:54Speaker 2: dollars US, have admitted to digital shoplifting.
- 15:00Speaker 3: What's digital shoplifting? You ask, think, yes, yeah.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Yes, what Patrick, Hey, I have a question? What's digital shoplifting?
- 15:07Speaker 3: I'm glad you asked, Craig.
- 15:09Speaker 2: So, what happens is if you go online and you
- 15:12Speaker 2: make a purchase and that item arrives, you then go
- 15:15Speaker 2: back to the seller and say item didn't arrive, item
- 15:19Speaker 2: was broken, item got lost, and then in a lot
- 15:22Speaker 2: of cases, the online resellers will basically do you a
- 15:26Speaker 2: refund or send you another item. So it's people being
- 15:29Speaker 2: deceptive and there's not a lot of recourse. This is
- 15:32Speaker 2: really interesting because if I walked into a shop.
- 15:35Speaker 1: And I feel like we shouldn't be sharing this information,
- 15:39Speaker 1: I feel like you're encouraging bad behavior because.
- 15:43Speaker 3: We've got the best listeners. Ever, no one's going to
- 15:46Speaker 3: do that.
- 15:47Speaker 1: There's a few dodgy motherfuckers that listen. Don't worry about that.
- 15:50Speaker 1: You know who you are.
- 15:54Speaker 2: So anyway, so Craig is going to go out and
- 15:56Speaker 2: buy a new motorbike tomorrow exactly. So it would never
- 16:03Speaker 2: have occurred to me, Am I just like naive or something.
- 16:06Speaker 2: But they say half half of these people will earn
- 16:10Speaker 2: over one hundred thousand US. That's probably nearly two hundred
- 16:13Speaker 2: thousand Australian. And in fact, I think the Australian dollars dropped again, so.
- 16:18Speaker 1: I think it's a million Australian, it's ten million Australian.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Yeah, but isn't that interesting? Do you think it's a mindset?
- 16:26Speaker 2: I don't know how you could kind of, you know,
- 16:29Speaker 2: kind of define this. And also how you could justify
- 16:32Speaker 2: it because I think one of the problems when you
- 16:34Speaker 2: order online, you're not seeing the shopkeeper. You know, if
- 16:37Speaker 2: I walk into someone's store and the owner of the
- 16:40Speaker 2: store standing right there, it's going to be really hard
- 16:42Speaker 2: to steal from somebody who's a person, who's someone you
- 16:45Speaker 2: can relate to, who's working hard, who's packing boxes, and
- 16:48Speaker 2: you know, and there's obviously obviously making.
- 16:50Speaker 3: A living out of what they're doing.
- 16:52Speaker 2: But that whole fire wall that break, you know, the
- 16:55Speaker 2: digital divide between you and the other person, whether it's
- 16:58Speaker 2: social media and making a I meant to another person's
- 17:01Speaker 2: name and not actually seeing them in public. Because when
- 17:04Speaker 2: we were talking about social media a moment ago, a
- 17:06Speaker 2: lot of what people say they probably wouldn't say to
- 17:09Speaker 2: their face if you were standing in a room together,
- 17:11Speaker 2: or certainly the you know, the dialogue wouldn't be as
- 17:14Speaker 2: heated because you have an opportunity to be able to
- 17:17Speaker 2: interact with the person, and it's that you're introducing the
- 17:19Speaker 2: personality and the humanity of the person.
- 17:23Speaker 3: And I guess in the same way because.
- 17:25Speaker 2: People you know, and I know we're kind of targeting
- 17:28Speaker 2: Gen zs and millennials, but the reality of it is
- 17:31Speaker 2: anybody can do this online, and I think there is
- 17:34Speaker 2: a separation. If it's on Amazon, it's like this big company.
- 17:37Speaker 2: I can justify myself.
- 17:38Speaker 1: So, yeah, you make a very good point. And I
- 17:42Speaker 1: think that, yeah, because it's it's like there's nothing really personal,
- 17:48Speaker 1: there's no emotional you're not seeing another human, you're not
- 17:51Speaker 1: interacting with another human. Typically. Yeah, look, I I think.
- 18:00Speaker 1: I mean, I've owned lots of businesses and some you know,
- 18:04Speaker 1: I've had people steal from me a lot and people
- 18:06Speaker 1: you wouldn't think, Yeah, so I don't have and it
- 18:10Speaker 1: sounds cynical and negative. I'm not trying to be. But
- 18:13Speaker 1: my experience is that people, even people close to you,
- 18:17Speaker 1: will steal if they think they can steal and get
- 18:20Speaker 1: away with it, which people are going to say, I
- 18:22Speaker 1: can't believe you would say it's very negative.
- 18:24Speaker 3: It's not.
- 18:24Speaker 1: No, I'm literally just reporting what has happened. I have
- 18:28Speaker 1: a quick story, right, and it's about who would steal
- 18:32Speaker 1: and like trust And you think, so I went to
- 18:36Speaker 1: I went away to do a gig and I was
- 18:39Speaker 1: staying in a staying in New Zealand, and I trained
- 18:44Speaker 1: at this big, amazing gym and I had a bunch
- 18:48Speaker 1: of stuff. I've think.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Can I just say something before you go on? We
- 18:51Speaker 2: actually have spoken about this that's wrong with the cameras
- 18:53Speaker 2: and the guyings. I apologize sorry listeners, Yeah, go back
- 18:57Speaker 2: to a previous episode because it was it's actually a
- 18:59Speaker 2: really good story.
- 19:00Speaker 3: But short of it is that new camera.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Anyway, Sorry that they thought they could anyway, he thought
- 19:05Speaker 1: one or two of his staff was stealing, and the
- 19:07Speaker 1: bottom line was they were nearly all stealing, all of them. Yeah,
- 19:11Speaker 1: you know, even like friends and shit. So given the
- 19:14Speaker 1: opportunity to steal, I think sometimes and I think also
- 19:20Speaker 1: when stuff like you're talking about, maybe they don't. I
- 19:23Speaker 1: think they don't even think of that as stealing. Yeah,
- 19:27Speaker 1: it's like they would never think I'm a thief, but
- 19:30Speaker 1: it's literally stealing.
- 19:32Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the only thing you can steal Crago
- 19:35Speaker 3: is your heart.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Oh god, no, no, you can definitely steal money. I'm
- 19:46Speaker 1: interested in cars. Of course, as you know, Tesla is
- 19:50Speaker 1: not going great in Australia at the moment.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Oh look, there's always a slump at the start of
- 19:55Speaker 2: the year, so there's always a bit of a glitch
- 19:58Speaker 2: in the car market, particularly with Tesla. So there's always
- 20:01Speaker 2: been this traditional drop, but it's been bigger than usual.
- 20:04Speaker 2: And look, a lot of people are putting it down
- 20:07Speaker 2: to the whole tech bro thing with the election in
- 20:10Speaker 2: the US, and there's been a real shift away from
- 20:14Speaker 2: Elon Musk. And he's forever connected with the Tesla company.
- 20:19Speaker 2: So when you buy a Tesla, I guess there's a
- 20:21Speaker 2: real sense that there's that close connection to Elon Musk.
- 20:24Speaker 3: It's his company, and you know, there's been.
- 20:28Speaker 2: I guess, a real kickback to the way that Elon
- 20:31Speaker 2: Musk has presented himself his alignment with Donald Trump. And
- 20:36Speaker 2: they're really saying now that that's been like we're talking
- 20:38Speaker 2: a drop of sixty percent below the same time last year.
- 20:41Speaker 3: It's a massive slump in the market.
- 20:43Speaker 2: I think they only sold about five hundred cars this
- 20:46Speaker 2: month or something last month, so it's been a big drop.
- 20:49Speaker 2: And I did a bit of a search because I
- 20:53Speaker 2: don't know if you've seen the bumper stickers on some
- 20:55Speaker 2: Tesla's now people are putting bumper stickers on their car
- 20:58Speaker 2: saying I bought this before we knew I was crazy.
- 21:01Speaker 2: It's like a disclaimer and I have I saw one
- 21:05Speaker 2: on the gar and Mel that where someone was driving
- 21:08Speaker 2: a Tesla and.
- 21:09Speaker 3: There was a story somewhere.
- 21:10Speaker 2: It might might have been in the US where a
- 21:11Speaker 2: guy had bought a Tesla and then he returned it
- 21:14Speaker 2: and said I don't want it anymore. I mean, it's
- 21:16Speaker 2: pretty extreme, but I thought that was really interesting that that,
- 21:21Speaker 2: you know, you can have such a negative impact just
- 21:23Speaker 2: by the way you're presented, and that could you know,
- 21:26Speaker 2: mean well impact on the car.
- 21:28Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, because I don't know
- 21:31Speaker 1: that correlation is causation. Like also, what's happened in the
- 21:35Speaker 1: last year or two in Australia is a massive influx
- 21:40Speaker 1: of other electric cars, like yeah, yeah, like byd who
- 21:45Speaker 1: basically have a car which is as good or better
- 21:47Speaker 1: than a Tesla three for about twenty grand cheaper. So
- 21:53Speaker 1: you could be right, But I don't know. The fact
- 21:55Speaker 1: that some people think that Elon's crazy and the numbers
- 21:58Speaker 1: are down, I don't know that like that that is
- 22:02Speaker 1: the cause. It could be, but I think it's more
- 22:05Speaker 1: nuanced than that. I mean, there are huge amount you know,
- 22:09Speaker 1: when Tesla was stand alone, they had no competition, and
- 22:13Speaker 1: now in Australia and all around the world, there's vast
- 22:15Speaker 1: competition from lots of other brands who are producing more
- 22:20Speaker 1: and more incredible cars for significantly less, and some of
- 22:27Speaker 1: them with up to ten year warranties like.
- 22:30Speaker 3: But the article I did take that into consideration.
- 22:33Speaker 2: They did show and they talked about the Australian market
- 22:36Speaker 2: having a slump in terms of Tesla sales now that
- 22:39Speaker 2: we're getting flooded with Chinese car makers, But that was
- 22:43Speaker 2: taken into account. So even when you look at the
- 22:46Speaker 2: trajectory of the ev market starting to get a real
- 22:50Speaker 2: momentum with Chinese cars, that still didn't account for the
- 22:54Speaker 2: bigger drop than usual in January of those sales. So
- 22:58Speaker 2: I think it plays a little bit of a part.
- 22:59Speaker 2: But you're absolutely right, it's amazing what the influx of
- 23:03Speaker 2: Chinese cars on the market are reasonable prices because previously,
- 23:06Speaker 2: you know, three years ago, I bought my hybrid car,
- 23:09Speaker 2: but I probably would have now.
- 23:12Speaker 3: In hindsight, probably would have bought an electric.
- 23:14Speaker 2: And this is an interesting one too, because a lot
- 23:17Speaker 2: of people are resistant to the idea of getting electric
- 23:20Speaker 2: because there's this notion that they don't last as long.
- 23:23Speaker 2: And a little bit of research that came out recently
- 23:25Speaker 2: was saying that the average electric car will have an
- 23:28Speaker 2: eighteen year life span, which is not dissimilar to the
- 23:31Speaker 2: most petrol cars as well, So in terms of longevity
- 23:35Speaker 2: of the vehicle, it's not that much. The only real
- 23:37Speaker 2: hindrance I think for a lot of people is the
- 23:39Speaker 2: charging time. It's getting better, so there are more cars,
- 23:43Speaker 2: and you're talking about the Chinese cars. There are some
- 23:45Speaker 2: that can almost go to full charge in twenty minutes.
- 23:48Speaker 2: But then again, I'm not going to stand at a
- 23:50Speaker 2: petrol bowser for twenty minutes.
- 23:51Speaker 1: To you, No, no, I'm definitely not. No, I've joined
- 23:58Speaker 1: the hybrid clan like you. It's fucking ridiculous. My car
- 24:03Speaker 1: gets twelve hundred kilometers on it on a tank. Yeah,
- 24:08Speaker 1: that's so ridiculous. Like it goes so far, like you
- 24:13Speaker 1: could drive from Melbourne to Sydney and halfway back. Yeah,
- 24:17Speaker 1: super efficient.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Yeah, now that that's pretty amazing stuff. Mike, car certainly
- 24:21Speaker 2: hasn't got that sort of range, but it's pretty good.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Seven hundred kilometers is more than most electric cars out
- 24:27Speaker 2: on the road. It's probably, you know, in the ninety
- 24:29Speaker 2: fifth percentile. There's no chance that an electric are at
- 24:32Speaker 2: this stage just going to have that sort of that
- 24:34Speaker 2: sort of range. And as you say, if I wanted
- 24:36Speaker 2: to drive to Adelaide, no problem, and if I want
- 24:40Speaker 2: to stop, you know, I can fill up the tank
- 24:42Speaker 2: and a how long does it take to fill up
- 24:43Speaker 2: the tank?
- 24:43Speaker 3: You know, I don't know, a few minutes and you're
- 24:45Speaker 3: off and running again. So to speak.
- 24:47Speaker 1: I reckon right now with just an opinion, I reckon
- 24:50Speaker 1: hybrid is the I think that's the best option at
- 24:53Speaker 1: the moment. I think moving forward that will probably change.
- 24:56Speaker 1: But speaking of cars, tell me about the self fixing
- 25:04Speaker 1: pothole mechanism or I can't see it, but I read
- 25:07Speaker 1: it before.
- 25:09Speaker 3: How cool is this?
- 25:10Speaker 1: This is some recently there we go self healing road.
- 25:13Speaker 2: I know, I started reading into this and it kind
- 25:16Speaker 2: of is almost creepy at the same time. So in Swansea,
- 25:21Speaker 2: right at the university there, what they're trying to do
- 25:24Speaker 2: is in bed tiny plant spores mixed into the bitchumen
- 25:29Speaker 2: and they say to'll extend the life span of bitchmen
- 25:32Speaker 2: by thirty percent.
- 25:33Speaker 3: Because what happens is you get cracks in the.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Road and then they fill with water, and when the
- 25:38Speaker 2: water gets into the cracks, that causes pockets of water.
- 25:41Speaker 3: And that's what breaks down the bitchumen.
- 25:42Speaker 2: But what they're saying is with the plant spores, once
- 25:46Speaker 2: a crack appears, the spores then enlarge and fill up
- 25:50Speaker 2: the hole, so you don't get water into the potholes.
- 25:53Speaker 2: So it means that you'll get less potholes, so in
- 25:56Speaker 2: a way, it is self healing.
- 25:57Speaker 3: It's really cool tech, isn't it?
- 26:00Speaker 1: And smart?
- 26:02Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't that great? And I thought, how interesting is that?
- 26:06Speaker 2: So you know, using that biotech and the other thing too,
- 26:10Speaker 2: of course, because bitchumin is petrochemical, isn't it.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 26:13Speaker 2: Yeah, whereas you know, using plant spores. I mean, I
- 26:16Speaker 2: know it's not going to replace bitjumen, but certainly I
- 26:19Speaker 2: thought it was an amazing concept.
- 26:21Speaker 3: I love how.
- 26:22Speaker 2: People come up with these ideas. Where would that in
- 26:25Speaker 2: your wildest dream would you even have conceived of that
- 26:29Speaker 2: of a way to extend the life of bitchumen by
- 26:32Speaker 2: putting sports.
- 26:33Speaker 1: I can barely time my fucking shoes, so don't I mean,
- 26:36Speaker 1: don't look to me for anything innovative. So the thing
- 26:42Speaker 1: I was going to say that the term on everybody's lips,
- 26:44Speaker 1: but that's not true. But the thing that's taken a
- 26:46Speaker 1: lot of people's attention or curiosity over the last few
- 26:50Speaker 1: weeks is a thing called deep Seek. I know what
- 26:54Speaker 1: it is. Maybe some of our listeners don't know what
- 26:56Speaker 1: it is, but what's the story around that? Firstly, tell
- 26:59Speaker 1: our list is what it is and what's going on
- 27:01Speaker 1: with that?
- 27:02Speaker 2: Wow, this is so controversial versual. So deep Seek I
- 27:06Speaker 2: think it came out in about November last year and
- 27:09Speaker 2: it was a bit of it kind of sat around
- 27:10Speaker 2: for a little bit. It's a Chinese AI, the equivalent
- 27:14Speaker 2: of chat GPT. Now what's caused the biggest stir is
- 27:19Speaker 2: the amount of money they claim to make. Deep Seek
- 27:23Speaker 2: was actually a lot less. I mean we're talking a
- 27:26Speaker 2: fraction fraction fraction of the cost because at the moment
- 27:29Speaker 2: to make an AI, you need to use in Video chips. Now,
- 27:33Speaker 2: in Video is the company that manufactures the best quality
- 27:37Speaker 2: chips in the world microchips, and they are the most
- 27:41Speaker 2: wealthy company in the world in terms of how much
- 27:44Speaker 2: their company is worth. So when this and then what
- 27:48Speaker 2: the American government was doing was restricting the sale of
- 27:51Speaker 2: in Vidia chips to China to prevent China from developing
- 27:55Speaker 2: your Chinese companies from developing their own AI. And this
- 28:00Speaker 2: is kind of cool in a little way. The guy
- 28:02Speaker 2: who's behind this new AI, the Chinese AI, actually studied
- 28:06Speaker 2: in Australia, so there's a little kind of local link
- 28:09Speaker 2: for us as well. I think he started in Melbourne. Yeah,
- 28:11Speaker 2: so effectively, this amazing deep Seak comes out. It's cheaper
- 28:18Speaker 2: and they've used old chips, so they haven't gone for
- 28:21Speaker 2: the new stuff. They haven't been able to purchase it
- 28:23Speaker 2: or get access to it. So they've managed to do
- 28:26Speaker 2: what no one else could possibly have envisaged they could do.
- 28:30Speaker 2: So everyone said, you can't do it, you can't build
- 28:32Speaker 2: an AI platform that's powerful using old chips, and they
- 28:37Speaker 2: did it. And this is what they're claiming that they
- 28:39Speaker 2: were able to do. And so they've released deep Seek
- 28:42Speaker 2: and I think what made the momentum and suddenly it
- 28:44Speaker 2: hit the media is it peaked in the downloads for phones,
- 28:48Speaker 2: so in the app stores suddenly, all because it was
- 28:52Speaker 2: November last year or so that it got launched and
- 28:54Speaker 2: no one thought about it, no one said anything, and
- 28:57Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, it's just peaking with all
- 28:59Speaker 2: these downloads. But on the end of this, the company
- 29:02Speaker 2: in video, their stocks plummeted once this came out because really, oh,
- 29:08Speaker 2: I mean it wiped billions of dollars off their share market.
- 29:11Speaker 2: I mean it's since climbed its way back and now
- 29:14Speaker 2: there's kind of these protectionist methods. The Australian government government
- 29:18Speaker 2: came out this week and said no one working in
- 29:21Speaker 2: government is allowed to have Deep seek on their phones,
- 29:24Speaker 2: on government phones, on government computers. Other countries are doing
- 29:28Speaker 2: the same thing because what they're suggesting is because it's
- 29:31Speaker 2: a Chinese company, it's also a backdoor for all the
- 29:35Speaker 2: information on your device to go back to Beijing. There's
- 29:38Speaker 2: this real paranoia and look, I don't know, I can't
- 29:42Speaker 2: say yes or no. I'm not a tech person in
- 29:44Speaker 2: terms of the back end technology, but there's a real
- 29:47Speaker 2: fear with the Chinese tech and Chinese AI that some
- 29:52Speaker 2: of this is actually going to go back. So the
- 29:55Speaker 2: information you're putting in there, the device that you're using
- 29:57Speaker 2: potentially may have and this is proven, but it may
- 30:01Speaker 2: have a backdoor that's sending your information to Beijing. Because
- 30:06Speaker 2: we know that the regime in China has quite rigid
- 30:10Speaker 2: constraints on tech companies, because the oversight is very different
- 30:16Speaker 2: in China, the landscape there, the monitoring, the requirements so
- 30:20Speaker 2: we really don't know what goes on. China is a
- 30:23Speaker 2: very fascinating country. It's you know, there's so much interest
- 30:27Speaker 2: around China, and as you know with my Tai Chi,
- 30:31Speaker 2: I love the culture and I love that side of it.
- 30:34Speaker 2: But there's still you know, when you think about the
- 30:36Speaker 2: regime that's running the country and the oversight that's there,
- 30:40Speaker 2: it asks all the questions and it begs the questions
- 30:44Speaker 2: what happens with these products that are launched by supposedly
- 30:47Speaker 2: independent companies and how much oversight is there by Beijing
- 30:51Speaker 2: and how many requirements are there for that data to
- 30:53Speaker 2: be given back to Beijing.
- 30:56Speaker 1: Well I'm not nervous at all. Now, thanks for that, noble.
- 31:00Speaker 1: I'll tell you there's quite a bit of Ai stuff.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Tell me what ghost say one think now before you
- 31:05Speaker 2: do about deep deep Seek. This is the creepiest and
- 31:09Speaker 2: weirdest little article I read a couple of weeks ago,
- 31:11Speaker 2: so I'm just kind of rejigged in my head. But
- 31:14Speaker 2: what they found someone was doing some searches and they
- 31:17Speaker 2: found that what deep Seek was doing was merging English
- 31:22Speaker 2: and Chinese. So I don't know if you've known people
- 31:25Speaker 2: who speak multi who are multilingual right. So in fact,
- 31:29Speaker 2: actually you met some friends of mine the other day
- 31:31Speaker 2: at a cafe and there's Chris who appeared on the
- 31:34Speaker 2: show who when he was on work Experience, I made
- 31:37Speaker 2: him do all the work and the research and we
- 31:39Speaker 2: realized I was a fraud. And yeah, anyway, so exploiter
- 31:44Speaker 2: of you know, a young labor, labor not unlike China.
- 31:49Speaker 2: Let's say, well.
- 31:51Speaker 1: That's your bloody, that's your oriental influence.
- 31:55Speaker 3: Oriental influence.
- 31:57Speaker 1: Okay, I was trying to tye to the influence, I
- 32:00Speaker 1: should say.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Anyway, so when you meet people. What I loved about
- 32:05Speaker 2: so when Chris was growing up, his mother's German and
- 32:08Speaker 2: he's his father's Australian. And what they did when they
- 32:11Speaker 2: brought up the kids was they got them to learn
- 32:13Speaker 2: both languages.
- 32:14Speaker 3: So people who are multilingual.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Sometimes when you know, when we think, we think in English.
- 32:19Speaker 2: And what's always fascinated me is when people who are
- 32:22Speaker 2: able to really speak two languages or more than one language,
- 32:25Speaker 2: are able to switch the way that they can think
- 32:28Speaker 2: and be able to think in a different language. But
- 32:31Speaker 2: what I find even more fascinating is I've had conversations
- 32:34Speaker 2: or I've seen Chris talking where he jumps from one
- 32:37Speaker 2: language to another. So some languages are more descriptive than others,
- 32:41Speaker 2: so sometimes you can answer. So you know the German
- 32:44Speaker 2: word schardenfreuder, I love because it basically means happiness at
- 32:48Speaker 2: the misfortune of others. It's a very funny word. But
- 32:52Speaker 2: the thing is there's no equivalent in English. So if
- 32:55Speaker 2: you have a sharden freud a moment or pardon me
- 32:58Speaker 2: sarten for it, a moment and someone you don't like
- 33:00Speaker 2: trips over in the gutto or something like that, and
- 33:02Speaker 2: you look over and you have a bit of a chuckle.
- 33:04Speaker 2: You don't cause them to fall over, but you laugh
- 33:06Speaker 2: at them because you don't really like them that much.
- 33:08Speaker 2: And something happened to them was bad karma, right, So
- 33:11Speaker 2: that's sharden freuder. So there's no English word. But what
- 33:14Speaker 2: happened I know this. I'm telling a very long story here, apologies.
- 33:18Speaker 2: So what happened was deep sex. You shut you shut
- 33:21Speaker 2: down my New Zealand story. They didn't shut it down.
- 33:24Speaker 2: I just put it on pause. So Deep Seek started
- 33:30Speaker 2: thinking in Chinese and English. And there's a real fear
- 33:33Speaker 2: now with people who look into this, that maybe AI
- 33:37Speaker 2: can develop its own language. If AI develops its own language,
- 33:42Speaker 2: which means it could think more quickly, then we won't
- 33:45Speaker 2: understand it. So when artificial intelligence is able to create
- 33:49Speaker 2: its own language and it's there, there's a potential there,
- 33:52Speaker 2: and that's what they saw with deep Seek, then potentially,
- 33:55Speaker 2: if it's creating its own language, we're locked out of
- 33:58Speaker 2: the equation. We no longer can understand the way it's thinking.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Of course, I fuck yes at one hundred percent, like
- 34:07Speaker 1: that shit is about twelve months away from being sentient,
- 34:11Speaker 1: from being conscious, from having like people think I'm being funny. No,
- 34:16Speaker 1: like AI will have its own version of consciousness and awareness,
- 34:21Speaker 1: and it will independently think in inverted commas and make
- 34:25Speaker 1: decisions because I mean everyone everyone who knows anything about AI,
- 34:31Speaker 1: as in the people that at the Gurus, they will
- 34:33Speaker 1: tell you that right now it's as smart as humans
- 34:36Speaker 1: or smarter obviously it's got a lot to draw on,
- 34:39Speaker 1: but that in the not too distant future, it will
- 34:43Speaker 1: like we will be relegated to the second smartest in
- 34:46Speaker 1: inverted commas species. And I know it's not a species,
- 34:49Speaker 1: but it is its own form of intelligence. And this
- 34:53Speaker 1: presents a whole raft of interesting ethical moral like conversations
- 34:59Speaker 1: around and what that what that impact because I think
- 35:03Speaker 1: most of us think that the technology for the most
- 35:07Speaker 1: part is a positive. I don't know about that. I
- 35:10Speaker 1: think definitely there are positives, but I think there's shit
- 35:13Speaker 1: that's going to happen that that maybe one day mankind,
- 35:17Speaker 1: sorry humankind, will go what the fuck? What the fuck
- 35:22Speaker 1: were we thinking?
- 35:23Speaker 2: You know, the thing I can see the application of
- 35:26Speaker 2: AI is amazing and the ability to be able to
- 35:29Speaker 2: do so many great things. And you said this earlier
- 35:31Speaker 2: in the show. You know, if you know you can
- 35:34Speaker 2: use a knife to cook with and then you can
- 35:36Speaker 2: use a knife to cause harm and exactly the same way.
- 35:39Speaker 3: That's how technology is being employed. You know, when it makes.
- 35:42Speaker 2: Our roads safer, when we can kind of detect if
- 35:45Speaker 2: a driver is about to fall asleep at the wheel,
- 35:47Speaker 2: you know, that could be one using an AI algorithm
- 35:50Speaker 2: with a camera pointing And this is available right now.
- 35:53Speaker 3: So I guess that's the concern.
- 35:55Speaker 2: You know, I don't know about you, but you know
- 35:57Speaker 2: you were you were referring to the concept of a
- 35:59Speaker 2: mind and if AI becomes sentient, then how do you
- 36:04Speaker 2: turn it off? Because is there an ethical aspect to it?
- 36:08Speaker 2: If you've got an entity that then is self aware,
- 36:11Speaker 2: Then where's an obligation on us not to turn it off?
- 36:14Speaker 2: Isn't there because you're effectively killing an AI or killing
- 36:18Speaker 2: an entity?
- 36:18Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 36:21Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, there are so many. I don't think
- 36:25Speaker 1: there's an easy answer to that, but it's fucking fascinating conversation.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Is it alive? Well, it does it have a nervous system.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Can it feel physical pain? No, you know, can it
- 36:38Speaker 1: feel emotional pain? Well, you wouldn't think it has emotions.
- 36:43Speaker 1: Could it simulate emotions, yes, I wouldn't think it can
- 36:47Speaker 1: have emotions. It definitely can't feel physical pain. It doesn't
- 36:51Speaker 1: have you know, spiritual people would say, well it doesn't
- 36:54Speaker 1: have a soul whatever that might or might not mean.
- 36:58Speaker 1: And I just think, you know, sometimes sometimes we've got
- 37:03Speaker 1: to be a little bit selfish and go fuck the
- 37:06Speaker 1: feelings of AI. Like we're talking about eight billion people
- 37:10Speaker 1: on a planet that we need to you know, you
- 37:14Speaker 1: don't want to wake up one one day, like humanity
- 37:17Speaker 1: doesn't want to wake up one day and the fucking
- 37:20Speaker 1: tech overlords are running the show, you know.
- 37:23Speaker 3: Eliminator Yeah, yeah.
- 37:25Speaker 1: I mean yeah, Hey.
- 37:27Speaker 2: What was the new Zealand story. What were we going
- 37:29Speaker 2: to say about New Zealand before? Then when I don
- 37:32Speaker 2: even starts, what do you mean I told you? I
- 37:35Speaker 2: told you, you said, you've told it before.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Oh, that one. You're going to say something else and
- 37:39Speaker 3: I catch you.
- 37:40Speaker 1: Oh, I definitely wasn't. I saw something that I wanted
- 37:43Speaker 1: to ask you about cultivated meat before you tell us
- 37:48Speaker 1: about that? Would you the vegan? Would you eat cultivated
- 37:52Speaker 1: meat because nothing's suffering and there's no pain.
- 37:55Speaker 2: No, because I think in the time. So I went
- 37:58Speaker 2: vegetarian initially for ten years and then became vegan for
- 38:03Speaker 2: the last four years. And what motivated me was obviously
- 38:06Speaker 2: animal cruelty initially, but I think as an extension of that,
- 38:11Speaker 2: I've now felt a little bit of a revulsion to
- 38:14Speaker 2: eating meat because there's a thought process about it coming
- 38:18Speaker 2: from an animal. So the concept of eating an animal product,
- 38:21Speaker 2: actually I find there's a bit of a barrier to that.
- 38:24Speaker 2: I'm doing a vegan cooking class tonight. By the way, Craig,
- 38:26Speaker 2: I thought you might be interested if you want to
- 38:27Speaker 2: come down.
- 38:28Speaker 1: As in your taking it or your partner.
- 38:30Speaker 2: No, No, I'm terrible. I'm an awful vegan. I can't I
- 38:34Speaker 2: come terrible cook? Now I'm going to a class to
- 38:36Speaker 2: learn how to cook better.
- 38:38Speaker 1: Look, I'll do my best to be then.
- 38:41Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing.
- 38:42Speaker 1: I think my belly button might need a tending to.
- 38:44Speaker 1: But I'll get back to you.
- 38:47Speaker 2: You wouldn't entertain the idea of reducing your meat intake.
- 38:50Speaker 2: What's your take on meat intake?
- 38:52Speaker 1: You keep talking about I'm going to fucking increase it,
- 38:54Speaker 1: So steady on, tell us about tell us about video
- 38:59Speaker 1: door bell? What's there? I think I need one of
- 39:02Speaker 1: those video doorbell.
- 39:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a ring doorbell.
- 39:06Speaker 2: What I like about it is that now that I've
- 39:08Speaker 2: got my studio in the garage out the back of
- 39:10Speaker 2: the property, because I'm on a quarter acre block, which
- 39:12Speaker 2: doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a fairly large block,
- 39:15Speaker 2: and it.
- 39:15Speaker 1: Means that's in suburbia. That's a veritable farm.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty.
- 39:20Speaker 2: And I was picking apples on the way here, by
- 39:22Speaker 2: the way, because my stone fruit aren't ready.
- 39:24Speaker 1: So is that a humble brag?
- 39:29Speaker 3: I think it is.
- 39:30Speaker 2: It's nice to have stuff that you can pick out
- 39:32Speaker 2: of your garden. I've got what else have I got
- 39:34Speaker 2: at the moment, I've got Oregon. I've got lots of herbs.
- 39:36Speaker 2: That's always good.
- 39:37Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm digressing.
- 39:39Speaker 1: It's an that paper folding thing. That's omi I just checking.
- 39:47Speaker 3: Is what you put in your vegan bowlines?
- 39:54Speaker 4: All right? If you could cook?
- 39:55Speaker 3: Can I cook well? Have all these herbs? And we're
- 40:00Speaker 3: a rudimentary cook. A little bit of way of putting it.
- 40:03Speaker 2: Look, we're all three single people. Where would you rate
- 40:07Speaker 2: yourself on the cooking scale.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Perhaps I can actually cook quite well, but I'm lazy.
- 40:13Speaker 1: I can cook quite well because I've lived by myself
- 40:16Speaker 1: for two hundred years. But the whole thing of getting
- 40:20Speaker 1: a whole lot of shit and chopping and preparing and
- 40:22Speaker 1: sauteing and above for me. Also, I'm fortunate that I
- 40:28Speaker 1: live with it literally within one kilometer of forty restaurants and.
- 40:33Speaker 2: From your place to the cafe across the road, there's
- 40:36Speaker 2: actually been a channel woven into the bitumen from you
- 40:39Speaker 2: just walking back?
- 40:40Speaker 1: Are you you haven't seen it? I've got a flying
- 40:42Speaker 1: fox from the office. I just fucking zip line across
- 40:46Speaker 1: there like a fucking ninja.
- 40:48Speaker 3: That would not surprise me.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Tell me about it. Tell me about these video doorbells.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Okay, we finished on the we started talking about the meat.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Were talking about the meat. The doorbells.
- 41:00Speaker 1: We can do bar all right, we'll finish on them up.
- 41:03Speaker 1: So tell me what's going on with this new labeling
- 41:06Speaker 1: for cultivated meat. Sorry, sorry, it's once you started talking
- 41:10Speaker 1: about vegans myself in the face.
- 41:15Speaker 3: So the Swiss.
- 41:16Speaker 2: Organization, right, they have a thing called a V label.
- 41:20Speaker 2: It's a little leaf logo and basically it certifies whether
- 41:24Speaker 2: a product is vegan and vegetarian. But now that I
- 41:27Speaker 2: come up with the SA label, excuse mete for cultivated meat.
- 41:31Speaker 2: So the idea is you get you get donor cells
- 41:33Speaker 2: from a cow and you grow them, and you end
- 41:37Speaker 2: up with a steak that's been grown rather than cut
- 41:42Speaker 2: from a cow and you know, slaughtered the cow. You've
- 41:44Speaker 2: just grown it from these cultured these cultured cells. The
- 41:49Speaker 2: thing is, it's even though it sounds like it's highly processed,
- 41:52Speaker 2: it isn't. You know, you're just doing exactly what the
- 41:54Speaker 2: body does. You're you're using donor cells that can then
- 41:57Speaker 2: replicate and then they grow into whatever it is, you know,
- 42:01Speaker 2: in this case of steak, So it's not overly processed
- 42:04Speaker 2: and the amount of water needed, the amount of input
- 42:08Speaker 2: needed to be able to grow the steak down the track.
- 42:11Speaker 2: They think it's going to be much better for the
- 42:13Speaker 2: environment using cultivated meat. Would you eat a cultivated meat
- 42:17Speaker 2: steak if it was available to you side by side
- 42:19Speaker 2: with another surline?
- 42:21Speaker 1: No, why, I don't want to.
- 42:24Speaker 2: But but if you knew it was better for the planet,
- 42:28Speaker 2: if you knew that an animal hadn't been slaughtered and
- 42:31Speaker 2: b it used a lot less water, a lot less resources,
- 42:34Speaker 2: it wasn't belching out cock.
- 42:36Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not giving you the answer you want.
- 42:40Speaker 1: How dare I not agree with you?
- 42:42Speaker 3: No, Tiff? Would you? Would you try one? At least?
- 42:48Speaker 1: So?
- 42:48Speaker 3: Just it weeds me out that it's been grown.
- 42:51Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think you're interfering with everything. Something something
- 42:56Speaker 4: I reckon.
- 42:57Speaker 1: God or whomever built the hours for a reason. It
- 43:02Speaker 1: wasn't but it wasn't for them just to fucking die
- 43:04Speaker 1: of old age.
- 43:09Speaker 2: Oh man, Yeah, let's get onto it. What was it
- 43:11Speaker 2: at the topic of the let's go to doorbells?
- 43:13Speaker 3: Someone, I've got a ring.
- 43:15Speaker 1: I'm going to build this thing that tastes fucking delicious,
- 43:18Speaker 1: but I don't want anyone to eat it. It's just
- 43:20Speaker 1: going to walk around grass for twenty years then drop dead.
- 43:24Speaker 3: No answers.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Come on, bro, you're not smarter than God.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Come on, a cauliflower steak is pretty good with a
- 43:31Speaker 2: nice source.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Ok Now, come on, you're fighting a losing battle.
- 43:36Speaker 2: Get off the doorbells and you're crumbing. It's pretty good
- 43:39Speaker 2: too if you've put crumbles as well.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Sorry, rumb you, I'll crumb you.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, pretty the doorbells. Look you were saying you're
- 43:45Speaker 2: thinking of getting one. And one of the challenges with
- 43:48Speaker 2: any sort of surveillance technology is a lot of the
- 43:52Speaker 2: companies that sell them also require.
- 43:54Speaker 3: You to take out a subscription, but you don't have to.
- 43:57Speaker 2: So I've got the ring doorbells, And for me, what
- 44:00Speaker 2: it means is if someone comes to my front door
- 44:02Speaker 2: and I'm sitting in the studio space, I get to
- 44:05Speaker 2: pop up on my phone. I can activate the camera,
- 44:07Speaker 2: but I can talk to the person as well, so
- 44:09Speaker 2: you can have a conversation with them. So tif someone
- 44:12Speaker 2: came to your house right now to drop off a delivery,
- 44:15Speaker 2: there's a lot of doorbells now that not only have
- 44:17Speaker 2: a front facing camera, but they have a camera that
- 44:19Speaker 2: points down so you can you can see the package
- 44:21Speaker 2: that's been dropped off, which is kind of good. Yeah,
- 44:24Speaker 2: so there's lots of new ones out on the market.
- 44:26Speaker 2: You don't necessarily have to buy a subscription to use them.
- 44:29Speaker 2: The other thing that my cameras do, which I really love,
- 44:31Speaker 2: is they have a light in them where you can
- 44:33Speaker 2: turn the light on manually, so it goes on for
- 44:36Speaker 2: thirty seconds. But it also has a siren. So if
- 44:39Speaker 2: you're in Tazzy, some dodgy person comes to the door,
- 44:42Speaker 2: the camera detects them and you see it. You can
- 44:44Speaker 2: flick the siren on and scare the be Jesus out
- 44:46Speaker 2: of them.
- 44:47Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, I wouldn't mind. I would like just
- 44:51Speaker 1: to scare my friends. I mean, so forget the security.
- 44:55Speaker 1: How much fun would it be to bloody just terrify?
- 44:58Speaker 1: Can we jump back? Just because I actually want to
- 45:00Speaker 1: know what ghost GPT is.
- 45:03Speaker 2: Oh okay, so you're talking about all the AI that's
- 45:06Speaker 2: out at the moment. Ghost GPT is for criminals. So
- 45:09Speaker 2: guess what there's it's out there. It's been released, and
- 45:14Speaker 2: the problem is that there are no constraints. See if
- 45:17Speaker 2: you go to chat GPT and you try to do
- 45:19Speaker 2: something naughty, write some code to hack Craig's computer, it's
- 45:25Speaker 2: not going to do it though. There are constraints there.
- 45:28Speaker 2: But with this ghost GPT, it's kind of a dark
- 45:30Speaker 2: web thing where it doesn't have to. The brakes have
- 45:33Speaker 2: been turned off. You know, you can you can fly
- 45:36Speaker 2: down that road as fast as you want. You're not
- 45:37Speaker 2: putting on the brakes. It's it's just going, you know,
- 45:40Speaker 2: full speed ahead. So you know, cyber crime is out there,
- 45:43Speaker 2: and so yeah, so the criminals are now using it,
- 45:46Speaker 2: and the hackers are now using it. And the problem
- 45:48Speaker 2: with this is in the past, when you wanted to
- 45:52Speaker 2: get something hacked, you'd have to have quite a bit
- 45:54Speaker 2: of knowledge to be able to hack into a system.
- 45:56Speaker 2: But using AI to do programming because I use chat
- 45:59Speaker 2: GPT occasionally to alter code.
- 46:01Speaker 3: I'm not a coder.
- 46:02Speaker 2: I can read a little bit of HTML code and
- 46:05Speaker 2: that sort of thing, but I can paste the code
- 46:08Speaker 2: into chat GPT and say now I wanted to do this,
- 46:11Speaker 2: and it will alter the code accordingly, which is really handy.
- 46:14Speaker 2: So if you're not a real heavy intensive coder, you
- 46:18Speaker 2: can actually get help from AI. But the problem is
- 46:21Speaker 2: if you've got the all the constraints turned off, and
- 46:24Speaker 2: this is what this ghost you know, GPT is it's yeah,
- 46:29Speaker 2: it's not a good thing. But again it's the knife analogy.
- 46:32Speaker 2: I use it to make something, use it to do
- 46:36Speaker 2: you know, it's more.
- 46:37Speaker 1: Good, good or evil. Hey, last one interests me because
- 46:40Speaker 1: I've just started because Tiff told me because she's bossy,
- 46:43Speaker 1: and also Melissa, who's more bossy that I need to
- 46:46Speaker 1: put up videos or that's you know, real south and
- 46:51Speaker 1: putting up few reels. But I can't edit for shit.
- 46:54Speaker 1: So even the other day I wanted something, I had
- 46:56Speaker 1: to ring tip and go can you turn this into
- 46:58Speaker 1: a thing? Which I hate doing. But so Instagram, I've
- 47:01Speaker 1: got a new video editing app. Is that within the
- 47:05Speaker 1: actual what is that? So it's built into it. So look,
- 47:09Speaker 1: this has been a response to, I guess the big
- 47:12Speaker 1: ban on TikTok in the US and that by extension
- 47:15Speaker 1: has happened to a few Australians as well. So when
- 47:19Speaker 1: Trump came in, he announced this ban on TikTok because
- 47:22Speaker 1: TikTok is owned by China and again the whole China debate,
- 47:25Speaker 1: what's TikTok doing with the information? So there was a
- 47:29Speaker 1: reprieve for a month, so it because banned for like
- 47:33Speaker 1: nine hours or twelve hours and then they reactivated it
- 47:36Speaker 1: when Trump said, Okay, we're going to give you a
- 47:38Speaker 1: month reprieve, but then we're going to shut it down again.
- 47:40Speaker 1: And some Australians who had American based accounts also got
- 47:44Speaker 1: locked out of TikTok. And one of the things that
- 47:47Speaker 1: TikTok is able to do is it allows video editing
- 47:49Speaker 1: as well, built into the software. So Instagram's jumped onto
- 47:52Speaker 1: the bandwagon, and I think this was a reaction to that,
- 47:55Speaker 1: and they're now offering new video editing features within the
- 47:58Speaker 1: app itself means that you can edit, you can trim,
- 48:01Speaker 1: you can add effects in the app without having to
- 48:04Speaker 1: go to an external program that you may not know
- 48:06Speaker 1: how to use.
- 48:07Speaker 2: So Crago you can now go in and make some
- 48:09Speaker 2: changes to your video reels.
- 48:11Speaker 1: I'm definitely going to have to jump into YouTube to
- 48:15Speaker 1: figure out how to do that.
- 48:16Speaker 3: On I tiff, No Instagram, mate, we're talking about Instagram.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Not no no, no, I know that, but no, no, no,
- 48:23Speaker 1: you missed you did you misunderstood me. I'm going to
- 48:26Speaker 1: have to jump into YouTube to watch a video, an
- 48:30Speaker 1: instructional video on how to do it.
- 48:34Speaker 2: You know what a lot about young people and technology
- 48:36Speaker 2: is that there's no hurdles, there's no fear, and they'll
- 48:40Speaker 2: just jump into a program and learn it without having
- 48:43Speaker 2: to get instruction. I just I feel that people our age, Sorry, Tiff,
- 48:48Speaker 2: I'm not talking about you like Craig and not my age.
- 48:51Speaker 2: There is a there is a you know, it's not
- 48:53Speaker 2: innately intuitive to us. I mean for some of it
- 48:57Speaker 2: who nerds it is, But the intuitive nature of technology,
- 49:01Speaker 2: the younger the people are, the younger people are, they
- 49:04Speaker 2: just seem to pick it up and run with it
- 49:06Speaker 2: because it's intuitive for them.
- 49:08Speaker 1: Well, I think it's interesting you say that one of
- 49:12Speaker 1: my friends has got young kids, and yeah, all of
- 49:15Speaker 1: those kids speak fluent English and tech like, they grow
- 49:19Speaker 1: up with two languages. So there was a there was
- 49:23Speaker 1: never a part of their life where technology and because
- 49:27Speaker 1: they're young, like seven eight years old, it was already
- 49:31Speaker 1: quite advanced and so by the time they're two or three.
- 49:35Speaker 1: But there's this dude, James Gwilt, who used to play
- 49:37Speaker 1: for some Kilda Shout out to Jimmy. He comes in
- 49:40Speaker 1: to the Hamptons and I've put up a picture of
- 49:42Speaker 1: his daughter, Rosie, who's gorgeous. I don't know how old
- 49:45Speaker 1: she is, but she's not two. But she comes over
- 49:48Speaker 1: and sits on my knee while he goes and buys
- 49:50Speaker 1: his coffee, and we fuck around on my phone. She
- 49:53Speaker 1: pulls the phone out of my hand and is like,
- 49:56Speaker 1: fuck off, Grandpa, give me the phone and starts look
- 50:00Speaker 1: looking for pepper Pig on fucking YouTube or and she knows.
- 50:04Speaker 1: I mean, she doesn't type in pepper Pig, but I'll.
- 50:06Speaker 3: Bring up.
- 50:08Speaker 1: She still, she starts all bluey. She starts scrolling to
- 50:13Speaker 1: find the cartoon or the video that she wants, and
- 50:17Speaker 1: then she'll play. And I mean, she is not even
- 50:20Speaker 1: two years old, and she's already got a better understanding
- 50:24Speaker 1: of that phone than my mum, who's had an iPhone
- 50:28Speaker 1: for ten years.
- 50:29Speaker 3: Is that a responsible adult thing to do to let
- 50:31Speaker 3: a two year old scroll through your feed?
- 50:34Speaker 1: I just want I just want her to love me,
- 50:36Speaker 1: so I just fucking let her do. I'm like the
