WEBVTT - UL NO. 462: Full-Face Mask Deceptions, VS Code Tunnel Hacks, Quiet AI Emergence at Apple, and Tokyo’s Three-Day Weekend Gamble 0:00:00.050 --> 0:00:03.200 If you're building B2B SaaS, you probably want to sell 0:00:03.230 --> 0:00:06.320 to enterprises at some point. The challenge is that selling 0:00:06.350 --> 0:00:09.590 to enterprises requires you to support complex features like Saml, 0:00:09.590 --> 0:00:13.550 single sign on, skim provisioning, audit logs, and fine grained 0:00:13.580 --> 0:00:18.500 authorization that require months of development time and ongoing maintenance work. 0:00:18.530 --> 0:00:21.500 OS solves this with APIs that are flexible and easy 0:00:21.500 --> 0:00:24.919 to use. It makes adding enterprise features to your app 0:00:24.950 --> 0:00:28.700 a quick and painless process. Work OS also has user 0:00:28.700 --> 0:00:31.700 management solution called auth Kit that is free up to 0:00:31.730 --> 0:00:36.260 1 million monthly active users. It comes standard with MFA, Rbac, 0:00:36.260 --> 0:00:39.920 bot protection, user impersonation and more. Auth kit is built 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:44.690 with radix components, which means zero compromises in design. You 0:00:44.690 --> 0:00:50.030 get limitless customizations and modular templates designed for quick integrations. 0:00:50.060 --> 0:00:54.050 Work OS is already used by hundreds of fast growing 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:58.880 companies like cursor, Vercel, Perplexity and Sierra. Check it out 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:04.040 at work OS Com that is working os. Com. Welcome 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.610 to Unsupervised Learning, a security, AI and meaning focused podcast 0:01:07.610 --> 0:01:10.039 that looks at how best to thrive as humans in 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:14.180 a post AI world. It combines original ideas, analysis, and 0:01:14.180 --> 0:01:17.390 mental models to bring not just the news, but why 0:01:17.390 --> 0:01:25.310 it matters and how to respond. All right, welcome to 0:01:25.310 --> 0:01:28.640 unsupervised learning. This is Daniel. All right. So settling in 0:01:28.670 --> 0:01:32.300 for a couple of light holiday weeks trying to chill 0:01:32.300 --> 0:01:35.180 out as much as possible, reading a bunch of lit RPG. 0:01:35.209 --> 0:01:37.640 I don't think I'm going to play too much path 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.940 of Exile. It's like a religion. I've already got too 0:01:40.940 --> 0:01:44.449 many religions. I've got reading as a religion, I've got 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.600 AI as a religion, got security work. I'm building a 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.840 bunch of tech. I just I don't have time to 0:01:50.870 --> 0:01:55.610 invest in getting good at Poe. It's just too intimidating. Plus, 0:01:55.610 --> 0:01:58.040 the little bit that I did play was mostly like 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.900 hitting the space bar and dodging way too much dodging. 0:02:01.900 --> 0:02:03.940 So don't think I'm going to be playing that any 0:02:03.970 --> 0:02:06.670 time soon. But I do watch other people play it, 0:02:06.670 --> 0:02:09.220 so that's kind of fun. Please go subscribe to the 0:02:09.220 --> 0:02:11.680 YouTube channel if you're watching this on YouTube. That's probably 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.710 kind of silly because you're probably already on the channel 0:02:14.710 --> 0:02:18.280 and hopefully you're subscribed, but always forget to promote that. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.970 So trying to remember wrote a piece for days. Been 0:02:21.970 --> 0:02:25.060 wanting to get out for a while. It's basically about 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.900 how updated context is going to be like the centerpiece 0:02:28.900 --> 0:02:31.870 of vulnerability management, because the problem isn't finding villains, it's 0:02:31.900 --> 0:02:36.130 actually fixing them. So go check that out and let's 0:02:36.130 --> 0:02:41.140 get into security. So full face masks for facial recognition evasion. 0:02:41.139 --> 0:02:45.010 So realistic masks that you could put on I'm going 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.200 to open this up. This is why we do it live. 0:02:47.230 --> 0:02:50.230 Look at this thing. So it's like a stocking or whatever. 0:02:50.230 --> 0:02:52.510 But you put it over your face and then it 0:02:52.540 --> 0:02:55.240 kind of pulls to contort to your face and look 0:02:55.270 --> 0:02:58.000 at that from a distance. That is not so bad. 0:02:58.020 --> 0:02:59.910 not so bad at all. And look at all these 0:02:59.910 --> 0:03:02.910 different faces you got so pretty cool. Yeah. Bruce Schneier 0:03:02.940 --> 0:03:06.359 is the one I think I saw that from. But yeah, 0:03:06.389 --> 0:03:09.240 I'm curious. I'd love to see some testing done from 0:03:09.270 --> 0:03:11.460 the security community to buy a bunch of these. And 0:03:11.460 --> 0:03:13.440 then maybe if we have access to like a facial 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.290 recognition system to see if we could get it to 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.860 match someone else. I think the big thing is like, 0:03:19.889 --> 0:03:24.419 is it only visual or is there like an active component? 0:03:24.419 --> 0:03:26.970 I think, and I don't think most do have an 0:03:26.970 --> 0:03:30.300 active component. I know face ID does, but I think 0:03:30.300 --> 0:03:34.470 most facial recognition does not have an active component. And 0:03:34.470 --> 0:03:37.200 what that would mean is like is something actually bouncing 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.560 off your face, which would go through the stocking. So 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.660 it'd be able to see like where your cheekbones are, 0:03:42.660 --> 0:03:46.710 where your chin is, and, you know, eyes, foreheads, stuff 0:03:46.710 --> 0:03:50.790 like that. That would seem to break the system or 0:03:50.790 --> 0:03:54.870 break the masks. But yeah, I don't I don't think 0:03:54.870 --> 0:03:57.869 most are doing that, but I'm not sure. Visual Studio 0:03:57.870 --> 0:04:02.070 Code remote tunnel hacks. So some Chinese attackers are caught 0:04:02.070 --> 0:04:05.700 stealing V's codes, remote tunnel feature, or using the feature 0:04:05.700 --> 0:04:08.970 to hack it. Service providers in South Europe and China 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.930 starting to limit the sale of critical drone drone components 0:04:12.930 --> 0:04:16.289 to the US and Europe that are needed for Ukraine's 0:04:16.290 --> 0:04:19.169 fighting efforts. So this is all part of the trade 0:04:19.170 --> 0:04:23.370 war of us limiting their access to chips. So now 0:04:23.370 --> 0:04:27.840 they're limiting our access to key materials to actually build stuff, 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.440 and now they're limiting drone stuff. I really can't wait 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.310 to get our drone systems up and running. I'm really 0:04:35.310 --> 0:04:38.880 worried that the any war, any conflict, hopefully not a 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.310 major war, but any conflict that we have with China, 0:04:41.310 --> 0:04:44.729 it's going to be about drones, like aircraft carriers I 0:04:44.730 --> 0:04:46.980 don't think are going to be as big of a deal. 0:04:46.980 --> 0:04:50.520 I remember seeing a piece or like a series or something. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.529 I was in the Army at the time, so this 0:04:52.529 --> 0:04:55.560 was like mid 90s and I was reading about this 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.339 thing called the Assassin's Mace weapon, which is a Chinese concept, 0:04:59.339 --> 0:05:02.640 I believe, where it's like when you have an enemy 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.690 that is much too big and powerful for you, you 0:05:06.690 --> 0:05:09.180 don't bring force against force. What you do is you 0:05:09.180 --> 0:05:13.710 bring some kind of weapon that is highly asymmetrical, that 0:05:13.710 --> 0:05:18.420 is capable of hurting this thing when regular force has 0:05:18.420 --> 0:05:23.550 no chance whatsoever. And drones are that. And once again, 0:05:23.550 --> 0:05:26.430 I've recommended this multiple times, but I recommend you read 0:05:26.430 --> 0:05:31.770 the book Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez. It is fantastic 0:05:31.770 --> 0:05:35.880 and it's all about mini drones and implications and stuff 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:40.140 like that. FBI is shut down Redux, a cybercrime marketplace 0:05:40.140 --> 0:05:44.940 operating since 2016, and they arrested three Kosovo nationals who 0:05:44.940 --> 0:05:49.770 were running it. Russian state backed APT Kameraden has been 0:05:49.770 --> 0:05:54.390 targeting Russian speaking individuals with two Android spyware families called 0:05:54.390 --> 0:05:58.120 Bone Spy and Plain Gnome, and it can record calls, 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.890 capture photos and collect. SMS messages. Yahoo cut 25% of 0:06:02.890 --> 0:06:06.130 its cybersecurity team, which is also known as the Paranoids. 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.890 Over the last year, paranoids are kind of og famous 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.280 in the security community, so kind of sad to see 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.160 them getting cut down. And I know the attrition has 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.640 happened for a long time over the years, but I 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:23.230 presented and taking classes over there in the facility that 0:06:23.230 --> 0:06:26.380 they were based out of. And yeah, sad to see 0:06:26.410 --> 0:06:29.590 kind of this old school kind of organization going away. 0:06:29.620 --> 0:06:34.670 Another run of augmented happening in February. It's actually February 0:06:34.670 --> 0:06:37.360 3rd of this coming year, and this is going to 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.940 be a full discussion and workshop on building out your 0:06:39.940 --> 0:06:45.159 personal Telos files and using AI to access them and 0:06:45.190 --> 0:06:50.200 use them, manipulate them. So it is $495, but you 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.220 get 25% off if you are a member and you 0:06:54.220 --> 0:06:58.270 can go and reserve a slot. I think they're still open, 0:06:58.270 --> 0:07:01.360 but you definitely want to check it out. Probably will 0:07:01.390 --> 0:07:05.200 be full soon. And if you become a member to 0:07:05.230 --> 0:07:09.190 get the discount, the discount is actually more than the 0:07:09.190 --> 0:07:13.270 cost of the membership. So really good time to become 0:07:13.270 --> 0:07:16.030 a member if you've been thinking about it. Super annoyed 0:07:16.030 --> 0:07:20.320 about the fact that ChatGPT Pro, which I use constantly, 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:26.890 is not as good, unfortunately, as Claude AI. I have 0:07:26.890 --> 0:07:31.420 more problems with it. It sends me down more rat holes. 0:07:31.420 --> 0:07:35.140 It doesn't follow my instructions as closely as Claude does, 0:07:35.170 --> 0:07:40.000 and it generally produces code that's not as good. The 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.970 code quality is a little bit closer than than the 0:07:42.970 --> 0:07:46.840 other aspects. What Claude does really, really well, and let's 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.960 not frame it as ChatGPT pro being bad. It's more 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.500 like what Claude does really well is it follows your 0:07:53.530 --> 0:07:57.100 instructions and it responds like a human, and it's like 0:07:57.100 --> 0:08:01.180 you're actually working with a coworker. So if you tell it, look, 0:08:01.180 --> 0:08:03.460 I only want one instruction at a time. This is 0:08:03.460 --> 0:08:06.460 one of my instructions. I only want one instruction at 0:08:06.460 --> 0:08:09.970 a time. Because oftentimes we're going to need to troubleshoot that. 0:08:09.970 --> 0:08:11.470 I have to go and run it and see if 0:08:11.470 --> 0:08:14.110 it works, and then let you know if it doesn't work. 0:08:14.140 --> 0:08:20.530 Claude follows that almost perfectly. And OpenAI or ChatGPT, it'll 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.980 be like, okay, boom, here's seven more steps. So I'm 0:08:23.980 --> 0:08:28.060 scrolling to get back up to whatever. And I'm just like, 0:08:28.060 --> 0:08:30.700 why did you give me seven steps? The thing before 0:08:30.730 --> 0:08:33.699 didn't work. I told you not to do this. And 0:08:33.700 --> 0:08:36.220 then we give me code and it's like, here's a 0:08:36.220 --> 0:08:39.040 little bit of code. And then at the bottom it's like, 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.920 here's the rest of the code or insert the rest 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:45.309 of the code. I said explicitly in the instructions not 0:08:45.309 --> 0:08:48.550 to do that. Also, here's the other instruction I gave it. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:53.910 And also to Claude. Write out files using echo and EOF, 0:08:53.910 --> 0:08:56.310 which is end of file. That way I could just 0:08:56.309 --> 0:08:58.890 copy the thing and paste it, and it writes the 0:08:58.890 --> 0:09:02.040 file in my directory, as opposed to just giving me 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.230 the raw code. Then I have to open the file 0:09:04.230 --> 0:09:11.790 delete paste close, which saves. So those extra steps Claude 0:09:11.790 --> 0:09:19.079 follows perfectly hardly ever misses that. And ChatGPT like 60% 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.260 of the time misses it. So I'm really hopeful that 0:09:22.260 --> 0:09:25.590 ChatGPT is going to catch up and hopefully even get better. 0:09:25.620 --> 0:09:29.670 But it's really annoying to pay $200 for a thing 0:09:29.670 --> 0:09:31.470 and have that thing not be as good as the 0:09:31.470 --> 0:09:34.230 thing that's free. Or I guess I'm paying the $20 0:09:34.230 --> 0:09:38.309 subscription for anthropic. Not even sure. But anyway, I'm not 0:09:38.309 --> 0:09:42.030 paying $200 for it and it's better. And this is 0:09:42.030 --> 0:09:46.320 Claude not even having shipped anything recently. I have a 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.200 feeling when Claude ships its new thing, it's going to 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.660 jump way ahead of Google and way ahead of ChatGPT, 0:09:53.660 --> 0:09:57.650 but I'm sure again it's just leapfrogs. Constant leapfrogs, and 0:09:57.650 --> 0:10:01.640 I think 2025 is going to be even more. It's 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:05.059 going to. Accelerate in the difference between one to the other. 0:10:05.059 --> 0:10:09.380 So I think Apple is. Actually doing exceptionally well on 0:10:09.410 --> 0:10:11.780 the AI front. Most people think that they're kind of 0:10:11.809 --> 0:10:15.349 way behind. And Apple intelligence. Isn't very good. The one 0:10:15.350 --> 0:10:18.050 thing I agree with is Siri is still massively broken, 0:10:18.050 --> 0:10:21.710 but it is getting better. But the thing I think 0:10:21.710 --> 0:10:24.650 that I realize that a lot of people don't, and 0:10:24.650 --> 0:10:27.680 keep in mind, I'm an Apple fanboy, so you got 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.200 to take that bias into account. I don't think it 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.920 actually applies. In fact, I think it gives me a 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.490 benefit here. But I do want to make it very 0:10:37.490 --> 0:10:40.790 clear that I am an Apple fanboy. So if I 0:10:40.790 --> 0:10:42.980 were to be wrong, that would definitely be part of 0:10:42.980 --> 0:10:48.590 the reason. Um, so I believe that Apple is building 0:10:48.590 --> 0:10:54.500 life OS and that they've been slowly and quietly adding 0:10:54.530 --> 0:10:56.930 I to that. And they kind of have been for 0:10:56.929 --> 0:11:00.349 a long time. But with Apple intelligence, you should never 0:11:00.350 --> 0:11:02.810 expect them to jump out in front and do something 0:11:02.809 --> 0:11:05.450 crazy with their AI. That is just not the way 0:11:05.450 --> 0:11:09.350 the apple works. What they're doing, though, is they're adding education, 0:11:09.350 --> 0:11:13.940 they're adding health, they're adding, you know, the ability to 0:11:13.970 --> 0:11:18.079 see more and hear more with like the AirPods. They're 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.800 just they're slowly incorporating more and more of our lives 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.730 into their ecosystem. And the whole advantage of Apple, what 0:11:25.730 --> 0:11:31.400 they have over everyone else is how cleanly and in 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:35.780 a unified way, they unify all their different ecosystem components 0:11:35.780 --> 0:11:40.250 to work together. Okay. So that's what they're known for. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.830 That's what they're best at. That's what makes them so compelling. 0:11:42.830 --> 0:11:46.250 That's why everyone switches off of Android. Because when you 0:11:46.250 --> 0:11:49.250 have Apple stuff, the more Apple stuff you use, the 0:11:49.250 --> 0:11:52.819 better everything gets. Now add AI on top of that, 0:11:52.820 --> 0:11:56.660 which runs securely inside of the Secure Enclave or in 0:11:56.660 --> 0:12:00.590 their new secure cloud infrastructure that they built. It's going 0:12:00.620 --> 0:12:04.790 to be insane. Absolutely insane. I mean, imagine an AI 0:12:04.820 --> 0:12:09.050 agent having full access to all your health data, and 0:12:09.050 --> 0:12:11.510 if you're a security person, you're probably freaking out about it. 0:12:11.510 --> 0:12:15.500 But with Apple, you you actually don't have to freak 0:12:15.500 --> 0:12:18.830 out about it. I worked there for three years in security. 0:12:18.830 --> 0:12:22.910 I've been watching them security wise for over a decade 0:12:22.910 --> 0:12:26.780 before that, and I have never seen a company more 0:12:26.780 --> 0:12:31.579 crazy about doing security and specifically privacy really, really well 0:12:31.580 --> 0:12:34.820 than them. And that's why also it takes them a 0:12:34.820 --> 0:12:36.740 little bit longer to do things, because they have to 0:12:36.740 --> 0:12:41.090 be very particular and meticulous about it. So people are saying, oh, 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.630 they're going slow, they're being left behind. I assure you, 0:12:44.660 --> 0:12:48.229 they are not being left behind. And here's what I'm 0:12:48.230 --> 0:12:52.200 telling you to do. Let's have this conversation at the 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:56.940 end of 2026, or even the end of 2025. What 0:12:56.940 --> 0:13:01.020 happens is they're small little winds in the ecosystem world 0:13:01.020 --> 0:13:03.750 and also in the AI world on top of the ecosystem, 0:13:03.750 --> 0:13:08.640 they're small little winds slowly build. They build and build 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.760 and build. And then one day some some YouTuber is 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.550 going to be like, wow, Apple just came out with 0:13:14.550 --> 0:13:18.360 all this amazing stuff. They really surprised us. Didn't surprise me, 0:13:18.390 --> 0:13:21.569 didn't surprise a lot of people who were watching Apple closely. 0:13:21.570 --> 0:13:28.500 It's slow, incremental, methodical improvements. Every little OS update that 0:13:28.500 --> 0:13:31.500 comes out, they tweak one little thing, which helps it 0:13:31.500 --> 0:13:34.949 work with these nine other things. Then they tweak nine 0:13:34.950 --> 0:13:38.099 other things, helps it work with this other thing. And 0:13:38.100 --> 0:13:42.270 slowly it's it's not just improving each component, it's pulling 0:13:42.270 --> 0:13:46.199 the components tighter to work better together. So Apple is 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:51.689 building life OS. Okay. Not work. OS. Not, you know, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:56.850 personal os. A unified life os. That's mental health. It's health, 0:13:56.850 --> 0:14:01.079 it's fitness, it's career, it's creativity. It's all those things 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.930 unified together. The way I like to think about it 0:14:03.929 --> 0:14:08.400 is if you watch the most advanced sci fi about 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.210 an AI agent, something like her, that is essentially what 0:14:12.210 --> 0:14:16.230 Apple is building. Okay. It's building something like her. But 0:14:16.260 --> 0:14:19.290 imagine it more with like AR in addition, because that 0:14:19.290 --> 0:14:23.250 was mostly just voice. But imagine, you know, glasses or 0:14:23.250 --> 0:14:27.390 contact lenses. So you're seeing overlays. If you look at my, um, 0:14:27.420 --> 0:14:32.609 my peace AI's predictable path, that is what AI is 0:14:32.610 --> 0:14:35.040 going to look like. And I think Apple's going to 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.460 get there first each component, they won't get there first, 0:14:38.460 --> 0:14:42.600 but having it all unified into a platform, into an ecosystem, 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.660 they will get to that first. And then even when 0:14:45.660 --> 0:14:48.720 other people arrive, It'll be cleaner with Apple, which is 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.780 why everyone will continue to use it. All right. Former 0:14:51.810 --> 0:14:57.870 OpenAI researcher who publicly criticized the criticized the company's data practices, 0:14:57.870 --> 0:15:02.460 was found dead in his San Francisco apartment. Suchir Balaji, 0:15:02.490 --> 0:15:06.270 26 years old, dead of suicide and a lot of 0:15:06.270 --> 0:15:08.640 conspiracy going around this. The one thing I will say 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.670 about this I don't know anything about the case, you know, 0:15:11.700 --> 0:15:15.690 probably wasn't foul play. Just just from the math of it. 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.770 When people are whistleblowers, which is what he was, what 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.960 a lot of people don't realize is you are you 0:15:21.990 --> 0:15:26.040 are shunning your community. You're taking somebody who's usually pretty 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.430 powerful inside of your community, and you're basically blowing the 0:15:29.430 --> 0:15:33.960 whistle on them, which means they that big company or 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.260 that big person kind of. I'm not saying OpenAI did this. 0:15:37.260 --> 0:15:41.340 I'm saying in general going back, you know, hundreds of years, 0:15:41.550 --> 0:15:46.080 this concept is that the community turns against you. You 0:15:46.090 --> 0:15:49.120 get looked at as like a rat or a a 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.000 tattletale or a narc or something, and it's just like 0:15:52.030 --> 0:15:55.180 it's very lonely. Like, the most dangerous thing right now 0:15:55.180 --> 0:15:59.590 is loneliness. Right. And and I'm just projecting here. I'm 0:15:59.590 --> 0:16:02.320 just saying this is a common thing that happens with 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:07.660 whistleblowers is they get ostracized, which is isolating, and it's stressful. 0:16:07.660 --> 0:16:11.620 That is, in my opinion, the most likely cause of 0:16:11.620 --> 0:16:17.830 something like this. But who knows? I mean, some conspiracies, sometimes, uh, 0:16:17.830 --> 0:16:20.950 whistleblowers are actually attacked. It doesn't mean it needs to 0:16:20.950 --> 0:16:22.870 be open. I it could have been someone who is 0:16:22.870 --> 0:16:27.910 friendly to OpenAI. Who who knows? I don't know, but 0:16:28.090 --> 0:16:30.940 I just wanted to add that dynamic there. Y Combinator 0:16:30.940 --> 0:16:33.850 backed startup called artisan is running ads all over San 0:16:33.850 --> 0:16:38.800 Francisco with slogans like stop hiring humans, and artisans won't 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.400 complain about work life balance. This is brilliant. Okay, first 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.130 of all, the CEO says I did that on purpose. 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:50.560 It was dystopian on purpose. We're not actually dystopian. Uh, 0:16:50.590 --> 0:16:54.010 don't believe you. I remember that thing from, uh. What 0:16:54.010 --> 0:16:56.860 was it? I can't remember the name of it. It's, um, 0:16:57.430 --> 0:17:00.520 not Woody Harrelson. Damn it. What is this guy's name? 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.719 Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell on? Um. Damn. What is the 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.000 name of that? I can't remember the name of that 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.820 damn show. Anyway, it's the one where he's a newscaster, 0:17:09.850 --> 0:17:13.060 and he's just like, I don't believe you. And that's 0:17:13.060 --> 0:17:15.460 exactly how I feel about this. I don't believe you. 0:17:15.460 --> 0:17:18.820 So I think he thought that was going to be cool. 0:17:18.850 --> 0:17:22.120 I don't know, maybe I'm not giving him enough benefit 0:17:22.150 --> 0:17:25.540 of the doubt. Maybe he actually did it. It has 0:17:25.540 --> 0:17:29.230 dual purpose, right? When you do this, it makes people 0:17:29.230 --> 0:17:33.970 look and go, Holy crap, artisans won't complain about work 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.580 life balance. That's going to make a whole lot of 0:17:36.580 --> 0:17:40.449 people mad. All press is good press, right? So bad press, look, 0:17:40.450 --> 0:17:42.730 we're talking about it. A lot of people are talking 0:17:42.730 --> 0:17:47.200 about it. So automatically they got attention. But even more 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.780 sinister than that, there are a whole lot of hiring 0:17:49.780 --> 0:17:54.010 managers who are tired of humans complaining about work life balance, 0:17:54.010 --> 0:17:56.650 and they're tired of people not showing up to work, 0:17:56.650 --> 0:17:59.200 and they're tired of tired of people doing half the 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.320 work that they're supposed to be doing. And so this 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.109 is actually an appeal to them directly as well, to 0:18:05.140 --> 0:18:09.609 fire your humans or stop hiring humans. So it's brilliant 0:18:09.609 --> 0:18:12.730 in two different ways. And I'm curious if they're actually 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.460 going to do well. ChatGPT can now analyze real time 0:18:15.460 --> 0:18:19.750 video through your phone's camera. Okay. ChatGPT has this. OpenAI 0:18:19.780 --> 0:18:22.330 has this. I don't know if anthropic has it. I 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.510 haven't messed with the Claude app that much. The actual 0:18:25.540 --> 0:18:30.580 static app, but, um, or the desktop app or phone app, 0:18:30.580 --> 0:18:35.800 it is unbelievable to pull up an I have a 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.620 screen showing like I'm showing right now. And then to 0:18:38.650 --> 0:18:40.929 say to it, um, hey, do you see what I'm 0:18:40.930 --> 0:18:43.030 looking at? Hey, do you see that code? Help me 0:18:43.030 --> 0:18:46.570 troubleshoot this thing over here. It's over here. Working and 0:18:46.570 --> 0:18:49.600 returning code for you. But what? But watch this. You 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.929 didn't type anything. You're just talking. You're just talking. And 0:18:52.930 --> 0:18:57.160 guess what? You're actually hearing it. Come back and say 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.520 things to you. So you are literally having a voice 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:05.080 conversation essentially with a colleague. And that colleague knows everything 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.810 about coding and is helping you code. But it's not 0:19:07.810 --> 0:19:11.440 just coding. It can help you write or research or 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.830 do whatever. And this is the end of 2020 for 0:19:14.859 --> 0:19:17.470 that that shipped and that was from Google. This one 0:19:17.470 --> 0:19:20.590 is ChatGPT works the same. I only got it working 0:19:20.590 --> 0:19:23.530 on my phone, though I haven't seen it on the 0:19:23.530 --> 0:19:25.629 desktop app because it's a lot more powerful on a 0:19:25.630 --> 0:19:29.440 desktop when you can see all your screens. And I'm 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.410 telling you, it is kind of like a ChatGPT moment 0:19:32.410 --> 0:19:36.520 from late 2022, when you could literally have a regular 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.820 conversation with a thing that sees it's like it's over 0:19:39.850 --> 0:19:42.950 your shoulder, it's sitting next to you. This is where 0:19:42.980 --> 0:19:46.880 AGI starts to happen, where not quite, but where you 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:51.110 have a colleague that understands everything you're saying and can 0:19:51.109 --> 0:19:55.550 just go and do general tasks. So hugely impressive. I 0:19:55.550 --> 0:19:58.070 recommend you go check it out. The one that's really 0:19:58.070 --> 0:20:04.010 impressive is the Google AI studio. Okay, Gemini two and agents. Yeah, 0:20:04.010 --> 0:20:06.170 this is what I was just talking about. Completely surreal 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.679 to just talk to an AI that you can basically 0:20:09.710 --> 0:20:11.869 see your screen. So let's see if this one actually 0:20:11.869 --> 0:20:15.140 does it. Um, do do they usually put it at 0:20:15.140 --> 0:20:17.570 the bottom. Damn it. Can't find it. All right. So 0:20:17.570 --> 0:20:20.929 this is basically what I was talking about. Uh, Gemini two. Okay. 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.209 Now I really have to go find this thing. It's 0:20:23.210 --> 0:20:26.000 annoying me. Yeah, hopefully you can hear that. I can't 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.090 hear it, but hopefully you can. Yeah. So you're basically 0:20:29.090 --> 0:20:32.660 just talking to it. It's really cool. All right, next story. 0:20:32.690 --> 0:20:36.200 Exxon is building its first ever external power plant focused 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:41.210 on AI data centers. This is insane. Exxon. They are 0:20:41.210 --> 0:20:43.550 so good at seeing the future and I'm very mad 0:20:43.550 --> 0:20:46.730 at them for many reasons. Well, like in the 1970s, 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:50.000 they saw the future of carbon going up and they 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.850 chose to bury that research. That's the thing that most 0:20:52.850 --> 0:20:55.459 makes me angry. But in this case, they're seeing the 0:20:55.460 --> 0:21:00.590 future of AI needing needing power. So they are going 0:21:00.619 --> 0:21:04.880 into the business of providing AI data centers with power. 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:07.070 They're starting a whole new branch of business. I mean, 0:21:07.070 --> 0:21:10.700 that is just absolutely brilliant. And like what what is 0:21:10.700 --> 0:21:13.310 their stock? Yeah. Let's look at like I don't like 0:21:13.310 --> 0:21:18.619 this graph one day okay. All yeah that's ExxonMobil. Look 0:21:18.619 --> 0:21:24.740 at this. Since October 1st 2020 it was $33. And 0:21:24.740 --> 0:21:29.869 today it's $120. So they're doing okay. So yeah really 0:21:29.869 --> 0:21:34.550 really smart basically providing power to AI. Yeah. So one 0:21:34.550 --> 0:21:37.880 is tracking health data in markdown files instead of apps. 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:41.750 I love doing everything in text. So really, really enjoyed 0:21:41.750 --> 0:21:44.690 this article. Center click is released a line of GPS 0:21:44.690 --> 0:21:48.260 based server appliances. You know I got one. Even though 0:21:48.260 --> 0:21:50.720 I already have a time server, I got another one 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:53.810 because I am stupid and this is actually fairly cheap. 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:57.080 It's only like 250 bucks. Yeah, it was like 250 bucks. 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.290 So I will probably give the other one away. Whichever 0:22:00.290 --> 0:22:02.840 one I like the least, I will probably give away 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.120 and I might end up keeping this one. It seems 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.270 like the metrics might be a little bit nicer, but anyway, 0:22:08.270 --> 0:22:11.960 what it is, it's a time server. It's stratum one, 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.470 which means instead, okay, stratum two is you're pulling from 0:22:15.470 --> 0:22:19.909 a stratum one. Stratum one is or no. Is it 0:22:19.910 --> 0:22:22.130 stratum zero? I'm going to pull mine up and have 0:22:22.130 --> 0:22:25.010 my IP address in there. Um, I can't remember if 0:22:25.010 --> 0:22:28.580 it's stratum one is the one that goes to satellites. No, 0:22:28.580 --> 0:22:32.210 it's stratum zero is stratum zero I think. So basically 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.690 the most direct one you can have okay. The absolute 0:22:35.690 --> 0:22:40.800 most direct one is you actually on on board these satellites. 0:22:40.830 --> 0:22:44.460 This is the GPS system manages. It's the most accurate 0:22:44.490 --> 0:22:50.010 time system in the world. It's 24 different satellites who have, um, 0:22:50.010 --> 0:22:53.760 I believe cesium clocks. Either cesium or the other one. 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.340 I can't remember the other atom, but cesium is the 0:22:56.340 --> 0:23:01.320 most accurate one. Their atomic clocks on the satellites. 24 0:23:01.350 --> 0:23:06.720 of them. And they're in different orbit patterns. These 24 satellites, 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:09.480 if you connect to them, give you the most accurate 0:23:09.510 --> 0:23:12.780 time that you can get on the planet, essentially, um, 0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:17.160 because all their clocks are synced and they're all working 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.830 in conjunction and they agree on what the time is, 0:23:19.859 --> 0:23:22.890 and then they provide that time to the world. And 0:23:22.890 --> 0:23:25.890 this is how we have accuracy with GPS and everything. 0:23:25.890 --> 0:23:30.060 So if you have a time server like time.com or whatever, 0:23:30.060 --> 0:23:33.660 that is usually a I can't remember if that's stratum one. 0:23:33.690 --> 0:23:38.280 Let me see okay. Stratum one. Yeah. Stratum one is 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:42.270 the original one. It's the one that has access to 0:23:42.300 --> 0:23:45.869 actual satellites. So you see that S1 right there. That 0:23:45.869 --> 0:23:49.169 S1 means it's the stratum one server. So look at this. 0:23:49.170 --> 0:23:57.000 I am 0.001680 milliseconds off of the true time on 0:23:57.000 --> 0:24:00.929 the satellites. And if I do mine, which is time, 0:24:00.930 --> 0:24:02.189 I don't want to do it because it's got my 0:24:02.190 --> 0:24:04.650 IP address in there. Not really a security risk, just 0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:07.109 kind of stupid to do on a video. But um, 0:24:07.140 --> 0:24:11.070 mine is even more accurate because it's actually running from 0:24:11.070 --> 0:24:15.119 my server room and it's got an actual antenna talking 0:24:15.150 --> 0:24:18.210 to actual satellites. I just love that I've always been 0:24:18.210 --> 0:24:21.419 obsessed with time. So bottom line, if you want to 0:24:21.420 --> 0:24:26.070 get into some super geeky time stuff for only like 0:24:26.100 --> 0:24:29.040 2 or 300 bucks, you should get one of these things. 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:32.340 They are super cool. Look at this United Airlines, which 0:24:32.340 --> 0:24:38.100 is my favorite airline. They are adding share item location 0:24:38.100 --> 0:24:41.760 into the mobile app. So if you lose your luggage, 0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:45.840 you can actually add your link to your AirTag and 0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:48.629 help United find your bag. That is the coolest thing ever. 0:24:48.630 --> 0:24:51.689 YouTube is seeing massive growth in TV viewing, with sports 0:24:51.690 --> 0:24:57.060 content up 30%. Users watching over 400,000,000 hours of podcasts 0:24:57.060 --> 0:25:01.770 on TV's monthly YouTube. Just absolutely killing it. Someone in 0:25:01.770 --> 0:25:05.070 Louisiana got a bird flu and they are hospitalized. I 0:25:05.070 --> 0:25:08.700 actually heard a conflicting report. Somebody was saying or some 0:25:08.700 --> 0:25:11.760 report was saying 60% of people die. I've heard a 0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.729 lot of other people might have been this article that 0:25:14.730 --> 0:25:16.530 said a lot of people got better from it. So 0:25:16.530 --> 0:25:21.240 it wasn't like killing everybody. So maybe we don't have 0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:24.479 a pandemic, maybe we do. And it's more like Covid 0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:26.640 and it's not so bad because we have, you know, 0:25:26.670 --> 0:25:29.670 vaccines come out. I mean, we already have flu vaccines, 0:25:29.670 --> 0:25:32.880 so maybe, maybe it won't be so bad. I don't know, 0:25:33.210 --> 0:25:36.600 don't really want to think about it, honestly. Tokyo is 0:25:36.630 --> 0:25:41.940 trying to increase births by giving its 160,000 government workers 0:25:41.970 --> 0:25:46.350 a four day workweek starting in April. I mean that 0:25:46.770 --> 0:25:50.040 the birth rate is down to 1.2 babies per woman, 0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:53.369 and they're trying to get that that back up. Um, 0:25:53.400 --> 0:25:58.800 expecting fewer than 700,000 newborns this year, lowest since records 0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:02.700 started in 1899. So they're trying to give people a 0:26:02.700 --> 0:26:07.560 four day work weeks. So basically a three day weekend. Hopefully, 0:26:07.590 --> 0:26:10.379 you know, go out, have a good time, uh, meet 0:26:10.380 --> 0:26:13.770 somebody and make a baby. Research shows ketones don't just 0:26:13.770 --> 0:26:18.840 provide energy to the brain. They actually help remove misfolded proteins. Okay, 0:26:18.869 --> 0:26:23.580 I actually have my buddy Danny gave me some ketone drinks. 0:26:23.580 --> 0:26:25.919 I don't know, a little bit cautious of that. I'm 0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.990 going to wait till the science is a little bit better. 0:26:28.020 --> 0:26:32.310 All right. Discovery Stack Analyzer detects more than 500 technologies 0:26:32.310 --> 0:26:34.260 in your code base. You basically point it to a 0:26:34.290 --> 0:26:36.820 GitHub repo, and it tells you all the different tech 0:26:36.850 --> 0:26:40.000 that it uses, all the different security talks at Reinvent. 0:26:40.030 --> 0:26:43.990 Thanks to Clint for showing me this link. And in 0:26:43.990 --> 0:26:49.690 a series of compression tests, Zstd consistently outperformed gzip and 0:26:49.690 --> 0:26:55.930 zlib across speed, compression and decompression efficiency. Metrics and recommendation 0:26:55.930 --> 0:27:02.409 of the week downtime, fiction, family, friends, downtime, fiction, family, friends, 0:27:02.410 --> 0:27:06.760 and the aphorism of the week. Almost everything will work 0:27:06.790 --> 0:27:10.270 again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. 0:27:10.300 --> 0:27:14.320 Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for 0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:19.270 a few minutes, including you, Anne Lamott. Unsupervised learning is 0:27:19.270 --> 0:27:22.390 produced and edited by Daniel Miessler on a Neumann U87 0:27:22.420 --> 0:27:25.690 AI microphone using Hindenburg.
