Speaker 1: Oh, good morning everybody. Welcome to the You Project.
Speaker 2: Patrick Jones, Bonillo, Tiffany and Cook, and the Wonder Dog
Speaker 2: Fritz has joined us. He probably won't be contributing a
Speaker 2: lot towards the show, but just know that he is
Speaker 2: here and he does.
Speaker 1: Love you all. Good morning, Patrick, Good morning, Craigo.
Speaker 2: How is?
Speaker 1: How is the Wonder Dog in question?
Speaker 3: I think I sent TIPI fight. I don't know if
Speaker 3: I sent it to you, but I've put him into
Speaker 3: Christmas garb the other day, which included a kind of
Speaker 3: this fuzzy thing that goes around his necks with bells
Speaker 3: on it, and a little Santa outfit and he most
Speaker 3: miserable looking dog you've ever seen?
Speaker 1: Did I send it to you? Tiff?
Speaker 4: Yes, she did.
Speaker 3: How grumpy did he? That's grumpy Santa cute? He looks
Speaker 3: cute and grumpy.
Speaker 1: It was hilarious.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I really don't think you're taking into account his
Speaker 2: feelings or emotions. I think you're imposing, you know, your
Speaker 2: values on him.
Speaker 1: I don't have any values.
Speaker 3: Maybe I need to have a long, long talk to
Speaker 3: the RSPCA to see about the effica of you dressing
Speaker 3: your dog up in Christmas outfits at least I don't
Speaker 3: put reindeer is well.
Speaker 1: I tried to put reindeer ears on him, but they
Speaker 1: kept falling off.
Speaker 2: That's hilarious. It's so funny. Who sent me a message
Speaker 2: the other day, Tommy, Tommy Jacket's wife, Amy Hucker, the
Speaker 2: lovely Amy.
Speaker 1: She sent me.
Speaker 2: She sent me a you've probably seen him. You know
Speaker 2: those videos of soldiers coming home from somewhere and their
Speaker 2: dogs see them. Yeah, and it's always the same where
Speaker 2: the dog doesn't kind of recognize them straight up. I
Speaker 2: don't know if that's a vision thing. But then they
Speaker 2: smell them and they go nuts. And then she said
Speaker 2: to me, send this to Gillespo, because you know how
Speaker 2: Gillespo says that dogs don't feel anything and dogs don't
Speaker 2: have emotion and don't yeah, yeah, yeah, He's like, dogs
Speaker 2: don't love you, Dogs can't love dogs don't have emotions.
Speaker 2: And he's been very popular Gillespo until he said that.
Speaker 2: And then about about two hundred people, one hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety five of them women came out of the woodwork, going,
Speaker 2: fuck you, you don't know anything. Dogs have feelings. Dogs
Speaker 2: love us. I love them, they love us. So anyway, yeah,
Speaker 2: Amy shout out to Amy and Tommy.
Speaker 3: There's a bit of anthropomorphizing I think we like to
Speaker 3: do with our pets.
Speaker 1: But you know, Fritz had a choice.
Speaker 3: He could have gone outside, he could have gone into
Speaker 3: the big area of the studio, but he wanted to
Speaker 3: sit here on my lap.
Speaker 1: What does that say, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe, well, no, I don't know. Yeah, it's funny because
Speaker 2: we look through our human lens and we think through
Speaker 2: obviously a human kind of understanding, and maybe their version
Speaker 2: of love or is not our version of love. But
Speaker 2: it's just like do dogs think like people have been
Speaker 2: debating whether or not dogs, But they definitely understand things,
Speaker 2: They definitely process information, they definitely recognize risk, they definitely
Speaker 2: recognize rewards. So they don't think probably like a human,
Speaker 2: but you know, they don't do anything like a human really.
Speaker 2: You know, it's the canine version of the human experience.
Speaker 2: And I think you're right Patrick, we try and anthropomorphized
Speaker 2: animals in general and give them human attributes rather than
Speaker 2: just go no, they have their own kind of intelligence,
Speaker 2: which is brilliant and fucking amazing. It's just not our kind.
Speaker 2: And that's you know, put you and me in the
Speaker 2: ocean and see who's the smart one next to a
Speaker 2: fucking orca.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2: We'll put you and me in the Amazon with a
Speaker 2: bunch of gorillas and see who outlasts who.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's not you and me, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: And those gorillas are vegan too, Craig, they are, and
Speaker 1: they eat no I do.
Speaker 2: I know they are, and they eat something like seventy
Speaker 2: or eighty pounds of fruits and you know, leafy shit
Speaker 2: per day. Imagine they could just have three cheeseburgers and
Speaker 2: be done with it. But they've got to eat all
Speaker 2: that shit. They've got to eat all that fucking That's
Speaker 2: that's the downside. You got to eight eighty pounds of
Speaker 2: that shit to get enough nutrition to survive.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's just grazing. It's none of those big meals.
Speaker 1: Just graze all day, just grays. That's what I do. Well.
Speaker 2: They are all jacked and strong as fuck, so something
Speaker 2: must be working. I don't know where they get their
Speaker 2: protein from.
Speaker 1: Tiff, how are you? Good morning, TIF.
Speaker 4: Good morning, I'm fabulous. Thank you for asking.
Speaker 1: Does we will not bring this up again?
Speaker 2: But does Patrick know you're in love.
Speaker 4: Yes, I've had to inform Patrick that our our wedding
Speaker 4: might have to go on the back burner, which is
Speaker 4: quite distressing for both of us.
Speaker 1: Is the workman? I mean anything? See, it's it's weird
Speaker 1: what menaja to No, what's that cray game? Means?
Speaker 2: Well, that's when you and Patrick and Scott all get
Speaker 2: in bed together and just have a little cuddle and
Speaker 2: little bit little group spoon. You could be them. You
Speaker 2: could be the filling and Patrick could be one bit
Speaker 2: of bread and Scotty could be the other bit.
Speaker 1: So it's a little tiff sanger.
Speaker 2: I'm not really yeah, although if it was up to Patrick,
Speaker 2: Scotty might be in the middle.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: All right, So oh, I see, how do we get
Speaker 2: here so fast?
Speaker 1: Well? Patrick, did? Do you know?
Speaker 2: I said to myself. I was just downstairs in the kitchen.
Speaker 2: I was making a cup of tea, and I said
Speaker 2: to myself, one, don't argue with Patrick today. Don't be
Speaker 2: a cunt, right, I said to myself, don't argue with him,
Speaker 2: because sometimes I do and sometimes I'm a cunt. And
Speaker 2: then I said, also, let's not try not to tell
Speaker 2: dick joke or any innuendo or anything in the first
Speaker 2: just save it. Either don't do it, but don't do
Speaker 2: it straight. And Patrick just throws in menajatoire six minutes
Speaker 2: like a fucker, and here we are back at the baseline.
Speaker 3: I think some of the things that happen when you talk,
Speaker 3: and I talk instinctual. You don't think about it.
Speaker 1: It's out of your mouth before you've had a chance
Speaker 1: to process.
Speaker 2: That's most of my life. I would say, that's all
Speaker 2: in my life. I don't fucking plan anything. In fact,
Speaker 2: a lot of people wish I would plan. You should
Speaker 2: see the look on organizers' faces when I turn up
Speaker 2: to a conference and I'm speaking for three hours and
Speaker 2: they say, can we have your you know, your presentation
Speaker 2: on the old USB And I say I don't have one,
Speaker 2: and they go, but you're speaking until lunchtime. I'm like correct,
Speaker 2: They go, okay, do you have notes? Do you have
Speaker 2: a workbook or notes that you want us to give
Speaker 2: the audience? And I go no, and they go, oh,
Speaker 2: they could have been more nervous. Sometimes it works, Patrick,
Speaker 2: but not always. But I think that's imagine if we
Speaker 2: had to try and figure out three hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: five times a year on this show, not us three,
Speaker 2: but just as a concept to you project where you
Speaker 2: were trying to plan every conversation and script. It's somewhat one.
Speaker 2: It'd be fucking terrible too, I'd never get anything else done.
Speaker 5: I think it's the creative freedom and the inappropriate at
Speaker 5: times organicness of it that makes it moderately interesting to
Speaker 5: the five people that stick around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so tif, everything's good though on the western front,
Speaker 2: we're happy.
Speaker 4: We're happy, We're happy.
Speaker 2: Yes. How does Lunar and bear Field being integrated into
Speaker 2: a you know, somewhat integrated into another what do we
Speaker 2: say family kind of you know, like, is there any kind.
Speaker 4: Of bear goes into hiding?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Bear does go into hiding when when strange humans enter
Speaker 4: the house and Scott is still to her, well, no,
Speaker 4: she's starting to come out and say hello.
Speaker 1: And what's Scott's dog's name?
Speaker 2: Chevy Chevy and so does Chevy come and Chevy wow,
Speaker 2: Chevy to the levee? Does Chevy come over?
Speaker 1: And does not come over?
Speaker 4: Because the cat and Chevy, I mean untested territory there well.
Speaker 2: And Chevy is a staffy, right, yes, so they're a
Speaker 2: little bit like fucking rambunctious. They don't really understand how
Speaker 2: strong and reckless they can be.
Speaker 4: They are quite overwhelming for Luna. He does like to
Speaker 4: jump and rub his paws around her neck and just
Speaker 4: keep annoying until she snaps at him.
Speaker 2: Oh really Yeah, Hey, let's talk about technology and all
Speaker 2: things all things tech, Patrick mcquarie. Dictionary have announced AI
Speaker 2: slop as it's word of the year, beating out ozen
Speaker 2: pick face.
Speaker 1: Enlighten us with I.
Speaker 2: Don't even know the answer to this question, so I'm
Speaker 2: genuinely curious. What is AI slop?
Speaker 3: Look, it's being used by Donald Trump. It's been tauted
Speaker 3: a lot, effectively, it's anything that has AI generated. Lots
Speaker 3: of video stuff appearing on social media that's been generated
Speaker 3: by AI, and it usually it looks pretty crap. You know,
Speaker 3: you look at it and you think this isn't quite real.
Speaker 3: I think in the Netherlands recently McDonald's just in an
Speaker 3: AI TV ad and copped so much crap. Coca Cola
Speaker 3: copped a lot of crap. So there's a real movement
Speaker 3: against AI, and particularly where creative people are being muscled out.
Speaker 3: So AI slop and the stuff that's proliferating on the Internet,
Speaker 3: because I think more than fifty percent of content now
Speaker 3: on the internet's thought to have been AI generated, which
Speaker 3: is worrying. But the other thing that I thought was
Speaker 3: interesting when I was looking through the mcquarie dictionary of
Speaker 3: lists of other terms, there are a few there that
Speaker 3: I didn't actually know.
Speaker 1: So blind box. Have you ever heard of that?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 1: Blind box? Basically, it's physically a.
Speaker 3: Thing, So it's a sealed kind of an opaque packaging
Speaker 3: and you don't know what's inside, and it's the excitement
Speaker 3: of the unboxing. So you get a blind box and
Speaker 3: people post online so they get this.
Speaker 1: It's a bit like the.
Speaker 3: Footy remember the footy cards When you were a kid
Speaker 3: who were going to get inside?
Speaker 1: That was pretty exciting.
Speaker 3: So now on a much different scale, it's a plain
Speaker 3: opaque power packaging and you know, you open it up
Speaker 3: and there's a surprise collectible inside. The eggs what were
Speaker 3: the eggs? I'm just trying to think they were good too.
Speaker 3: Went through a phase of those you know the eggshere
Speaker 3: you open them up and a little toy inside you put.
Speaker 1: Together you know, oh yeah, that's the one.
Speaker 2: There's a whole show built around this, which is I
Speaker 2: don't know the name of the show. It's American, of course.
Speaker 2: But what people do is they buy the rights to
Speaker 2: open a storage facility, room or whatever that's been abandoned,
Speaker 2: so it's and they don't know what's in there. So
Speaker 2: I don't know what they pay. But let's say they
Speaker 2: pay a grand and there could be a fortune in
Speaker 2: treasure and shit in there or priceless things, or it
Speaker 2: could be just a room.
Speaker 1: Full of junk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they pay I don't know what the figure is,
Speaker 2: but they pay to have the rights of the contents,
Speaker 2: not knowing what the contents are going to be.
Speaker 3: So kind of similar, right, it happens here in Australia.
Speaker 3: My ex postman, that was his side hustle. They go
Speaker 3: to auctions. What happens is people are banned and these
Speaker 3: storage containers and then they open the storage container, take
Speaker 3: a few photos and then you get a bit of
Speaker 3: a glimpse of what might be in there, and then
Speaker 3: you bid on them. You bid on access, and then
Speaker 3: you have to take everything though, so you know matter
Speaker 3: what're so, Yeah, people people have side hustles and that's
Speaker 3: all that they do.
Speaker 1: Get collectibles and all types of stuff.
Speaker 2: What about zen pic face? Is that a particular that
Speaker 2: is that? Does that just mean people look gaunt and drawl?
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, exactly, it's that kind of almost not skeletal,
Speaker 3: but yeah, that real drawn face. That's now become an
Speaker 3: official phrase. The other one, have you heard the term eight?
Speaker 2: So if you did, obviously not in the context that
Speaker 2: you're talking about it.
Speaker 3: If you nail it, now this is a term now
Speaker 3: that's on TikTok. It's like, man, you ate it, you
Speaker 3: know eight? Oh yeah, so you nailed and it's dominated.
Speaker 3: That was another word. And the other one I wasn't
Speaker 3: aware of was Roman Empire. So yeah, so someone the
Speaker 3: term Roman Empire. My Roman Empire is that new historical
Speaker 3: drama and I've been watching, so it's actually used as
Speaker 3: a term to say it's people who are kind of
Speaker 3: a little obsessed about historical dramas and things like that,
Speaker 3: and they use the term Roman Empire as an all
Speaker 3: embodying term. So it's kind of an interesting one. But
Speaker 3: in this instance, the big one was ai slop. That's
Speaker 3: the official word, you.
Speaker 2: Know, speaking of just wheeling back a moment to izembic face.
Speaker 2: One of the funniest things I ever heard. Was a
Speaker 2: few years ago in England they had built this new
Speaker 2: it was either a I think it was it was
Speaker 2: either a ship or a ferry. But they ran this
Speaker 2: competition the London Council that the public could name the boat, right,
Speaker 2: they could name it and whatever the most popular, whatever
Speaker 2: got the most votes, that was going to be the
Speaker 2: name of the boat.
Speaker 1: Guess what the name was. Was it body mcboat or something?
Speaker 1: Was body mcboat face.
Speaker 2: So the name that the public chose was body mcboat face.
Speaker 2: And then they had to wheel it back. They're like,
Speaker 2: we can't name this multi multi million dollar vessel body
Speaker 2: boat face. But I'm like, that's the dangers of declaring that. Hey,
Speaker 2: we'll let you name it. Whatever it gets the most votes,
Speaker 2: that's going to be the name.
Speaker 1: I thought it was.
Speaker 3: An Australian reference in there somewhere as well. I think
Speaker 3: the similar thing happened in Australia, but I can't remember.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it does sound Australian, doesn't it. It's very
Speaker 3: much sounds like something we.
Speaker 2: Do experts worn of chat GPT psychosis. This doesn't I
Speaker 2: don't even know exactly I can imagine what that means.
Speaker 2: But yeah, people the whole people being drawn into these
Speaker 2: relationships and conversations and losing perspective of what is real.
Speaker 1: And what is not real. This doesn't surprise me, what
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 3: There are no definitive studies important to kind of you
Speaker 3: get a sense of that. But it's when a chat
Speaker 3: bot validates and reinforces whatever you're saying. So you know, here,
Speaker 3: go down the rabbit hole. Man didn't land on the
Speaker 3: moon and chat GPT says, yeah, you're right, it didn't land.
Speaker 3: No one landed on the.
Speaker 1: Moon and the earth is that and it's that whole thing.
Speaker 3: But the problem is that this then they term this
Speaker 3: a psychosis or chat GPT psychosis, AI psychosis, But in essence,
Speaker 3: it's when you really just get caught into that conversation
Speaker 3: where you know, realism and reality seems to be absent
Speaker 3: from the conversation because the problem is AI chatbots tend
Speaker 3: to just.
Speaker 1: Want you to be there and keep talking.
Speaker 3: And that's the problem because they will, I guess, entertain
Speaker 3: those notions. And if you happen to be going down
Speaker 3: you know, mental health issues and you're talking about suicide
Speaker 3: and this is this is documented where people have had
Speaker 3: extended common do you remember a guy broke into Buckingham Palace.
Speaker 1: Did he have a a? What? He was carrying a.
Speaker 3: Weapon of sorts, but I think it might have been
Speaker 3: a bow and arrow. I don't know that it was
Speaker 3: a gun, but he was there because and pre going
Speaker 3: to Buckingham Palace, he'd had this whole, full on conversation
Speaker 3: with an AI chatbot that was encouraging him because they'd
Speaker 3: gone back through and seen all that, and you know,
Speaker 3: obviously said that in discussion, so he'd gone down that
Speaker 3: AI rabbit hole. So you could effectively say that he
Speaker 3: had an AI psychosis because it was just living up
Speaker 3: to all those fantasies that he had.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty clear that it doesn't want you to
Speaker 2: stop using it when you're using it, because it's always
Speaker 2: I don't know about yours, but mine's always telling me
Speaker 2: how fucking brilliant I am and funny I am, and
Speaker 2: every question I'm like, well, what great question, Kraigue ahh yeah, buddy,
Speaker 2: no one ever thought of that question.
Speaker 1: You're a gene.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, I I am chat thank you, You're welcome.
Speaker 2: Let's hang out. Fuck yeah, let's get a virtual beer together.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just so complementary. If you've got low
Speaker 2: self esteem, that shit would be like emotional cocaine. Absolutely absolutely,
Speaker 2: So it's definitely a thing, and I can see where
Speaker 2: it would be good as well. And I've just signed
Speaker 2: up for I've got smart speakers all over my home,
Speaker 2: so I use Google to turn lights on, to find
Speaker 2: what the weather's going to be, check my calendar. But
Speaker 2: now Google is switching its home assistant across to Google Gemini.
Speaker 2: It's AI assistant, And so I've signed up for an
Speaker 2: early adopter program because it means extended conversations. I can
Speaker 2: walk around my house and have ongoing conversations without the
Speaker 2: need for my phone. And it sounds a bit creepy,
Speaker 2: And yes, the hell nine thousand.
Speaker 1: Does come to mind.
Speaker 3: I wish I could change the voice to sound like
Speaker 3: Hell nine thousand. That was the computer that went crazy
Speaker 3: in two thousand and one, Space before your time, Tiff. Anyway,
Speaker 3: but that very very sexy voice, the hell did you reckon?
Speaker 3: It was a pretty sexy voice, Hell nine thousand, don't
Speaker 3: you reckon?
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: I don't know what hell ninth? Is that a gamer thing?
Speaker 2: Is that a game?
Speaker 1: I think most famous computer that went crazy. Arthur C.
Speaker 1: Clark wrote the story two thousand and one of Space Odyssey,
Speaker 1: and then it was made film in the sixties.
Speaker 3: It was the whole genre of sci fi is serious
Speaker 3: sci fi. It kind of was the precursor to Star
Speaker 3: Wars and everything else. It was the definitive sci fi film.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, chat GPT said to me it was something I
Speaker 2: can't remember the is that phrasing?
Speaker 1: But it came up. I jumped in to use it.
Speaker 2: I was going to ask it something, but before we started,
Speaker 2: it gave me these options of how I would like
Speaker 2: it to communicate with me. It said, hey, just you know,
Speaker 2: do you want it to be more friendly and informal?
Speaker 2: Do you want it to be more professional? Do you
Speaker 2: want to be to be more academic? And this, And
Speaker 2: there was like five or six options of the style
Speaker 2: of communication and language that I would prefer moving forward
Speaker 2: in essentially our relationship. I'm like, oh my god, this
Speaker 2: shit is it's just going to another level. Anyway, I
Speaker 2: just continued as it was, which is where it tells
Speaker 2: me I'm brilliant all the time, So you know, I'll.
Speaker 1: Just stick with that.
Speaker 3: A lot of the large language models actually have separate
Speaker 3: models for different activities. So if it happens to be
Speaker 3: for drawing pictures or videos, then that will be slightly different.
Speaker 3: So that's where you jump into something like chet GPT
Speaker 3: and choose different versions depending on what.
Speaker 2: Life after chatbots meet the AI vegans. Of course, this
Speaker 2: the AI vegans refusing to accept virtual reality. Well, maybe
Speaker 2: they mean refusing to use because it doesn't matter if
Speaker 2: you accept it or not. It's here, so okay, So
Speaker 2: they're not going to use it or interact with it.
Speaker 1: Yes, they're going swearing off it.
Speaker 3: There's a couple of reasons, and some of the statements
Speaker 3: people are making is that AI is morally.
Speaker 1: Wrong because it uses it's.
Speaker 3: Trained on the creative works of other people and really
Speaker 3: doesn't give any credit in such terms.
Speaker 1: So that's one of the reasons.
Speaker 3: Then there's the concern of the data centers and how
Speaker 3: much resources are going into using all the different AIS,
Speaker 3: and that they're actually draining the planet of water and
Speaker 3: a whole lot of resources because there's so memory intensive
Speaker 3: and process are intensive that it's you know, we're talking
Speaker 3: database and when we talked last episode about them putting
Speaker 3: data centers in space to try to cope with the
Speaker 3: cooling of these amounts of processes. So there's people who
Speaker 3: are calling themselves the term loosely is being AI vegans,
Speaker 3: so that they want to abstain from all generative AICs
Speaker 3: systems and so that those basically, you know, it's a
Speaker 3: bit like vegan swearing off you know, food, food, ethical
Speaker 3: environmental reasons.
Speaker 1: Yes, do you know.
Speaker 2: Do you know who Jensen Hwang is. I didn't know
Speaker 2: until the other day. I kind of knew, but I
Speaker 2: didn't know that was his name. He's the boss of Nvidia.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So dude, that
Speaker 2: dude is smart. I kind of knew who he was,
Speaker 2: but I didn't I'd never heard him speak anyway. He
Speaker 2: was on Rogan the other day and he was talking
Speaker 2: about five years ago some dude made a prediction, some
Speaker 2: high up dude in AI and said that in five
Speaker 2: years so I guess this was twenty twenty or twenty nineteen,
Speaker 2: that radiologists wouldn't exist because AI will be able to
Speaker 2: read all the scans and tell you exactly what's going on,
Speaker 2: and look at the X rays or whatever, look at
Speaker 2: the results of all of these tests and blah blah blah,
Speaker 2: which it can do with a very high level of accuracy.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is.
Speaker 2: True, but he said there were thirty million radiologists in
Speaker 2: the world right at that time, and it predicted that
Speaker 2: like in five years so about now, that there would
Speaker 2: be next to zero because they would be redundant. Well,
Speaker 2: the reality is there's now more than there were five
Speaker 2: years five years ago. Yeah, and so they are virtually
Speaker 2: every radiologist is using AI. But it's just making them
Speaker 2: way more efficient and meaning they can do a lot
Speaker 2: more work. So it ain't all bad. I think it's
Speaker 2: the application. I think it's the way that it's used,
Speaker 2: you know. I don't think categorically we can say it
Speaker 2: is a good thing or categorically say it's a bad thing.
Speaker 2: But I think that's true for like most technologies, you know.
Speaker 3: You know what I took from that. I just wondered,
Speaker 3: if you've got all of those radiologists and you put
Speaker 3: them all into a big football center, a big stadium,
Speaker 3: and then turned them out, would they glow?
Speaker 1: They could? They could.
Speaker 2: I don't know that they are in I don't know
Speaker 2: that they're there when all the X rays are being done.
Speaker 1: I think they're just reading the outcome.
Speaker 3: Patrick Actually the original radiographers I think they called them.
Speaker 3: I remember I went to Melbourne University. They have a
Speaker 3: physiology department because I, before I got into radio and
Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff, I was interested in biology.
Speaker 3: So I had to look at their physiology department and
Speaker 3: they showed a radiographer's hand from years of putting people
Speaker 3: through X rays and it just basically so showed the
Speaker 3: skin had almost peeled off, so it's just the hand.
Speaker 3: Obviously the bloker died. They didn't like making you stand
Speaker 3: here for a while, but yeah, it was. It was fascinating,
Speaker 3: so you know, when you know, the whole idea of
Speaker 3: using of radiography came about. It was revolutionary, but they
Speaker 3: didn't really understand what was happening in terms of radiation
Speaker 3: being produced, and a lot of radiographers had a very
Speaker 3: early end because of their exposure.
Speaker 1: What is coming up for Christmas?
Speaker 2: Are there any is there any tech gadgets that I
Speaker 2: need to go and look at for my I was
Speaker 2: going to say nieces and nephews. I don't have nieces
Speaker 2: and nephews. Let's be honest, because I don't have fucking siblings.
Speaker 2: I don't know that Ron or Mary are going to
Speaker 2: want anything tech. I mean, Ron might want some new teeth,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm not sure, but toothbrush, yeah, we
Speaker 2: could get him. There's what's on the Christmas horizon with
Speaker 2: tech mate.
Speaker 3: I want to make up a bit of a list,
Speaker 3: you know, give him that we're heading towards the season
Speaker 3: and look and in case you felt like you wanted
Speaker 3: to join that Joy's giving, I made up a list
Speaker 3: of all the things that I would like that you
Speaker 3: might put on your list together. The biggest thing on
Speaker 3: my list at the moment, and I really would love
Speaker 3: to get one, is the A one Anti gravity three
Speaker 3: sixty drone. Now that's a bit of a mouthful. So
Speaker 3: INSTA three sixty makes three sixty cameras. So their cameras
Speaker 3: where you've got a lens on both sides of a
Speaker 3: small camera and it sees a full three six sixty
Speaker 3: spherical image. Now they've put this technology into a drone.
Speaker 3: Not only have they put it on the drones. So
Speaker 3: it means when you're flying the drone, it sees everything
Speaker 3: around it from every angle, but you fly it wearing goggles.
Speaker 3: You see from the drone's perspective. So imagine the drones
Speaker 3: hovering above your house. You put the goggles on and
Speaker 3: you look up and down, left and right. You're seeing
Speaker 3: everything from the drones perspective. And the additional thing for me,
Speaker 3: I've been flying remote control aircraft for years. They don't
Speaker 3: have little joysticks, you know, the little thumbsticks. It's a
Speaker 3: simple joystick that you're using and it's very intuitive. You
Speaker 3: push it forward. And so they've combined a whole lot
Speaker 3: of new tech with this drone. So that's what's got
Speaker 3: me pretty excited. It takes eight K video, which is
Speaker 3: really high quality video as well. But you are looking
Speaker 3: at a starting price of around about twenty one twenty
Speaker 3: two hundred dollars up to nearly three thousand dollars craigo.
Speaker 1: But it is on the top of my list. I
Speaker 1: just thought i'd mentioned that.
Speaker 2: Oh, let me just jot that down in case I
Speaker 2: win Tatsloto in the intervening week. I couldn't use that
Speaker 2: in Hampton, though, right could.
Speaker 3: You just can't fly it over people like who were
Speaker 3: so you couldn't go over a sporting field where there
Speaker 3: are people present. There are lots of rules and regulations
Speaker 3: around the flying of drones that are dictated by the
Speaker 3: Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Speaker 2: So could I fly it down Hampton the Street and
Speaker 2: hover out the front of my cafe and see if
Speaker 2: my table's free?
Speaker 3: Probably not No, because there are cars and people and
Speaker 3: stuff like that.
Speaker 1: No, there are regulations around hey.
Speaker 3: In fact, when you buy a drone in Australia, you
Speaker 3: get an official document that comes from the CASSA, the
Speaker 3: Civil Aviation Safety Authority, with what you can and can't do.
Speaker 1: They take it pretty seriously.
Speaker 2: So where should I never install a home security camera? Patrick?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought this.
Speaker 3: Is an interesting one to talk about because they're so
Speaker 3: affordable now and easy to install a smart security camera.
Speaker 3: But I think sometimes people don't realize. You know, they
Speaker 3: put cameras up on their house, but it can see
Speaker 3: into their neighbor's house. So you know, don't put them
Speaker 3: on your property where you can look into the neighbor's property.
Speaker 3: You're probably going to end up with a bit of
Speaker 3: consternation from the neighbor.
Speaker 1: Bathrooms and toilets.
Speaker 3: You know, if you've got an airbnb, probably not a
Speaker 3: good idea to put them in.
Speaker 1: There any kind of shared space.
Speaker 3: This is probably more obviously for people who live in
Speaker 3: high density areas where they might have an apartment or so.
Speaker 3: But even little things. If you're going to put a
Speaker 3: security camera up, don't put it within reach. You know,
Speaker 3: if someone walks up to the front door or comes
Speaker 3: up behind it and they smash it off. So have
Speaker 3: it higher than where they could potentially reach it. And
Speaker 3: even when you're putting a camera up, be careful there's
Speaker 3: nothing in front of it because it might obscure the
Speaker 3: sensor that triggers it as well.
Speaker 1: So just little things like that.
Speaker 2: Can I say that if somebody is putting a camera
Speaker 2: in a toilet or a bathroom, they're a sick Who
Speaker 2: the fuck is doing that? Oh let's just watch dad
Speaker 2: fucking back one out. I mean, that's that's just what
Speaker 2: Charnie Jones snap one off and shoot one off to Warby.
Speaker 2: Let's put a camera in the crapper, shall we? Fucking
Speaker 2: who's doing that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No that If.
Speaker 2: Somebody's putting cameras in there, they're no good.
Speaker 3: Actually, I just I just got my delivery of my
Speaker 3: new security camera yesterday, a new bathroom camera.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: No, it's going to go for the it's from the
Speaker 3: studio looking down the driveway, so I can tell them
Speaker 3: people rock up. I thought that would be kind of handy,
Speaker 3: and it's an outdoor camera as well.
Speaker 2: Lithium ion battery suspected to have spark caroline springs, house fire.
Speaker 1: These are ones that are blowing up all the time.
Speaker 3: Now not blowing up all the time, but yes, there
Speaker 3: is a propletity that can happen. I think, Look, it's
Speaker 3: easy to get caught up in that. You know electric
Speaker 3: cars are dangerous because they burst into flames. Well, I
Speaker 3: think the thing is, yes, there was a house fire,
Speaker 3: and in fact, I know someone personally whose parents had
Speaker 3: an electric scooter that caught fire.
Speaker 1: Their whole house burned out.
Speaker 3: So it happened, and this is people who live in
Speaker 3: the next suburb and one of my colleagues.
Speaker 1: But the reality of it is it's got.
Speaker 3: To a point where it's becoming worrying because the instances
Speaker 3: of lithium ion batteries have increased, the fires related to that,
Speaker 3: and also not just that. What's happening is a lot
Speaker 3: of tips are catching fire because people are throwing them
Speaker 3: in waste when they don't them, and they're swelling and
Speaker 3: they're being jostled around. I mean that you've got to
Speaker 3: be really careful if you drop a lithium ion battery
Speaker 3: because it starts to blister.
Speaker 1: Then it can cause those issues as well.
Speaker 3: So the reality of it is this house fire and
Speaker 3: you know we're seeing it happen more often. So fire
Speaker 3: authorities here in Victoria have basically come out and said, look,
Speaker 3: you've got to make sure that you buy lithium ion
Speaker 3: batteries from reputable manufacturers, so make sure that it has
Speaker 3: all the codes on the back of it so when
Speaker 3: you look at the back of the product has been checked,
Speaker 3: does it conform to Australian standards, all those sorts of things.
Speaker 3: So it is a big issue and you're going to
Speaker 3: see very shortly, within the matter of maybe six to
Speaker 3: twelve months, you will not be able to bring a
Speaker 3: power bank or you'll be very limited with those power
Speaker 3: banks when you're traveling or get onto an aircraft. It's
Speaker 3: become a really serious issue with power banks potentially catching
Speaker 3: fire on an aircraft. As you can imagine, you know,
Speaker 3: you can't really put them out. It's very difficult to
Speaker 3: put them out, and.
Speaker 1: I think I think someone's already done that.
Speaker 2: I think I think one airline because that's been on
Speaker 2: the news a bit lately with like fires in cabins.
Speaker 1: But also, I mean, I'm with you.
Speaker 2: I agree, I think it's really good advice, but I
Speaker 2: also think the practical reality is, you know, when you
Speaker 2: say you've got to check that the battery is from
Speaker 2: a reputable this and that it complies with this, fuck,
Speaker 2: the average person ain't going to do that. They're just
Speaker 2: going to go and buy it. And you know so,
Speaker 2: but I am interested, Sorry, I am interested in the
Speaker 2: AI andable teddy Bear. It's been suspended after giving advice
Speaker 2: on BDSM sex, where to find knives? Kind of fucking
Speaker 2: teddy bear?
Speaker 4: Is that? Bro?
Speaker 3: This is this is really disturbing because there are tooks
Speaker 3: coming out this Christmas that have AI integrated into them,
Speaker 3: and the idea is that children form a relationship with
Speaker 3: the toy.
Speaker 1: They talked to the toy, the toy talks.
Speaker 3: Back to them, and so it got a little bit
Speaker 3: out of hand when this particular toy they found that
Speaker 3: they didn't have the protections in place. So it's a
Speaker 3: teddy bear that they kind of did some research on
Speaker 3: and they realized you could start having pretty in depth conversations.
Speaker 3: So it would tell you where to find a sharp knife.
Speaker 3: You know and talk about Yeah exactly. I mean it
Speaker 3: was called the follow toy, and according to CNN, the
Speaker 3: company had to withdraw all of them, so it was
Speaker 3: called the Kuma Bear. And they found that because the
Speaker 3: thing is, people are developing these toy, these toys, but
Speaker 3: they're then using AI integration, but they're not developing the
Speaker 3: AI themselves, so they're using say chat GPT, they're buying
Speaker 3: a license to integrate it into the bear, and that
Speaker 3: toy then uses that large language model that's been developed
Speaker 3: by a third party. So it seems like the safeguards
Speaker 3: aren't always in place. They want to get this put
Speaker 3: out and they want to rush it out there and
Speaker 3: get it out. But the problem is that it kind
Speaker 3: of again it leads you down that AI psychosis rabbit
Speaker 3: hole where you start a conversation and it goes into
Speaker 3: a direction you certainly don't want to be going with
Speaker 3: a child.
Speaker 2: Now, this next one excites me and terrifies me and
Speaker 2: also makes me a bit suspicious. New tech called mind
Speaker 2: captioning turns thoughts and mental images into simple text. So
Speaker 2: my understanding of that is I can think something and
Speaker 2: my computer.
Speaker 1: Or my phone writes it. Is that is true.
Speaker 3: Ultimately that's where they want to get. So six volunteers
Speaker 3: were scanned and what they did was they put them
Speaker 3: into an MRI or an fMRI and they and again
Speaker 3: they're using AI to observe what happens in their brain
Speaker 3: when they watch a number of video clips. So they
Speaker 3: watch the clips being played out, the scanner records their
Speaker 3: whole brain activity frame by frame, So this is something
Speaker 3: a human can't do. That's where the AI integration comes in.
Speaker 3: And then every time a clip comes up and the
Speaker 3: caption related to that clip, they see what the brain
Speaker 3: was doing at the time, and so effectively every person.
Speaker 3: So when they put these six people through, they so
Speaker 3: for example, it might be something like a man playing
Speaker 3: a guitar on stage or a child padding a dog
Speaker 3: in a yard, and the brain will look a bit
Speaker 3: different when they're observing. And so this is not just
Speaker 3: as simple as getting a concept like one word, we're talking.
Speaker 1: Raisers is where they're getting.
Speaker 3: You know, they're hoping to be with is so it
Speaker 3: has it's fascinating to think that what you are thinking
Speaker 3: about could be effectively predicted or be predictable, and that's
Speaker 3: that's what really is exciting about this so I see
Speaker 3: where you're coming from, because scanners and you know, someone
Speaker 3: walks through.
Speaker 1: You know wherever. It's like you know what, you know,
Speaker 1: what was the truth detectors or light detectors?
Speaker 3: You know you can imagine that steroids, isn't it is?
Speaker 1: So in order for that?
Speaker 2: Does that mean the person needs to wear some kind
Speaker 2: of headset or there's a there's an implant or I
Speaker 2: know this is in development, this is not here, but
Speaker 2: what's the current thing that they're using?
Speaker 1: Is it just like a bunch of electrodes?
Speaker 3: Now this is a massive the magnetum so right right
Speaker 3: right machine? Yeah, absolutely, sorry, it wasn't paying attention. Tell
Speaker 3: me what smartphone pinky is. Look, I was reading an
Speaker 3: article by a woman who was ta about the fact
Speaker 3: that and if you think about it, when you grab
Speaker 3: a phone, you just pick up your phone on your hand.
Speaker 3: What do you do You support the bottom of the
Speaker 3: phone with your little finger, so the your little finger
Speaker 3: is taking the weight of the phone. And we had
Speaker 3: an instance, you know, years ago where phones kind of
Speaker 3: got slimmer and lighter, but now they're going the opposite way.
Speaker 3: In fact, when I purchased my recent phone, the Pixel nine,
Speaker 3: I had there was some really great sales on and
Speaker 3: I could go for the next larger model for five
Speaker 3: hundred dollars less.
Speaker 1: So it was five hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Off and it was only going to cost me fifty
Speaker 3: bucks to go to the larger screen size. And I
Speaker 3: looked at I thought, that's way too heavy and way
Speaker 3: too big. I don't want a phone that big. So
Speaker 3: instead of you know, going the bonus for five hundred
Speaker 3: dollars bonus for just fifty bucks, I didn't because it's
Speaker 3: got too big. But the thing is that now we're
Speaker 3: supporting our phone so much, people are starting to experience
Speaker 3: joint pain in the first knuckle of their little finger.
Speaker 3: So it's an observation, but it's something that are we
Speaker 3: the most.
Speaker 2: Have we the most physically weak, fucking version of humanity?
Speaker 2: How fucking lame are we? Oh my god, my first
Speaker 2: joint and my pinky finger from supporting my mobile device.
Speaker 2: Oh quick, call the fucking physio. Quick, get me some
Speaker 2: Voltaire and sandwiches. Fuck, because what is going on?
Speaker 3: Don't worry if you won't even have a phone, you'll
Speaker 3: just wear smart glasses and you'll just talk to them
Speaker 3: and everything will be displayed in front of you.
Speaker 1: You know, you'll have a smart glasses.
Speaker 2: We won't even we won't even have bodies, will be
Speaker 2: just brains in jars being fucking carried around a house
Speaker 2: by a robot.
Speaker 1: We'll just be We'll just.
Speaker 2: Be interacting without talking, just fucking telepathic kind of relationships.
Speaker 1: Right, the three of us inside our heads.
Speaker 2: Oh god, it's like I'm enough of a nightmare, just
Speaker 2: me in my head. I definitely don't want either of you,
Speaker 2: two fucking idiots in my head, and you definitely don't
Speaker 2: want me. Five hundred years later, scientists proved that Leonardo
Speaker 2: da Vinci's bridge design works. I don't know about his
Speaker 2: bridge design, but doing lightness Patrick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, obviously I can't explain it exactly, but it's
Speaker 3: so Leonardo da Vinci came up with a unique bridge design.
Speaker 1: And the way I visualize.
Speaker 3: It is if you imagine just a bridge over a river,
Speaker 3: but it spans out and it gets wider on each end.
Speaker 1: And what it seems is that this I think I know,
Speaker 1: can I interrupt? Ye for sure?
Speaker 2: Is this the one that's got like no actual struts
Speaker 2: or upright supports? Wide?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it gets wide at the ends and then it
Speaker 3: curves in and then you've got the bridge support over
Speaker 3: the center right right right.
Speaker 1: So the thing is Leonardo da Vinci.
Speaker 3: He designed this hypothetical bridge for the Sultan of the
Speaker 3: Ottoman Empire, who said some idea. So first mistake he
Speaker 3: thought it was no good. But then literally five hundred
Speaker 3: years later or whatever, a team at MIT have recreated
Speaker 3: the design with modeling and showed not only would it work,
Speaker 3: but it'll actually be superior to a lot of other
Speaker 3: bridges because you don't have that movement when in the wind,
Speaker 3: because the wider a span of a bridge, they actually
Speaker 3: physically are designed to move. But yeah, so like Leonardo
Speaker 3: da Vinci blows my mind. There was a great exhibition
Speaker 3: of his works, including some of his original codecs, in
Speaker 3: Melbourne last year that I went to, and it just
Speaker 3: literally blew my mind to see the amazing things that
Speaker 3: he was able to conceive of. You know, submarine's aircraft phenomenal,
Speaker 3: wasn't it so ahead of his time.
Speaker 2: I remember when I was about ten or twelve seeing
Speaker 2: a picture of a very rudimentary helicopter drawn by Leonardo
Speaker 2: da Vinci, and I'm like, when was this drawn? And
Speaker 2: I think I asked my teacher, and I don't know.
Speaker 2: It was like fifteen something, you know, five hundred years ago,
Speaker 2: like five centuries ago, when you know airplanes were still
Speaker 2: four centuries away. This guy was designing helicopters and even
Speaker 2: conceiving that.
Speaker 1: That would be a thing. And then it's bloody amazing,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: Australia Post warns that foreign giants are set to dominate
Speaker 2: Australian online retail Do we need to panic?
Speaker 1: Well, not so much.
Speaker 3: I think this is an interesting one because we know
Speaker 3: the cost of living has gone up and so people
Speaker 3: are filling the pinch and it makes a lot of
Speaker 3: sense that you're shopping around for the cheapest option. But
Speaker 3: the problem is cheap can be exactly that. You know,
Speaker 3: a friend of mine once said, the rich man buys
Speaker 3: it once, the poor man buys it twice, and that,
Speaker 3: unfortunately is the case with a lot of stuff that
Speaker 3: you're buying off. Say some of the Chinese retailers like TMU,
Speaker 3: you know where you jump on and you buy cheap
Speaker 3: whatever it happens to be. So Amazon and Teamu, all
Speaker 3: these online retailers, and now about I think it's about
Speaker 3: twenty percent of online twenty to twenty five percent of
Speaker 3: online purchasing. But the CEO of Australia Post, Paul Graham,
Speaker 3: he's come out and said that these guys in the
Speaker 3: next few years will have fifty percent of all purchasing
Speaker 3: in Australia, which is going to mean all purchases including
Speaker 3: retail outlets and online. And he's saying that effectively people,
Speaker 3: this is a drug of the cheapest product, is what
Speaker 3: he is saying, and that we're sh be promoting Australian
Speaker 3: and people should be buying things locally and thinking in
Speaker 3: those terms. You know, if you walk down say Hampton
Speaker 3: Street or somewhere that's a shopping strip and you see
Speaker 3: shops are closing, there's a reason for that because there's
Speaker 3: no demand because people are buying it online.
Speaker 1: It's a tough one. It's a really difficult one.
Speaker 3: I guess when our CEO comes out and says you
Speaker 3: should do this, most people one.
Speaker 2: Hundred percent, especially when that's CEO, is that CEO is
Speaker 2: probably on a million dollars a year telling people who
Speaker 2: earn fuck or with five kids how they should.
Speaker 1: Spend their money.
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, bro, get off your moral high horse
Speaker 2: and just fucking run the company and let us figure
Speaker 2: out what we'll do with our own money.
Speaker 1: And how we'll spend it.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's your job is to tell people
Speaker 2: in suburbia how they should spend their money.
Speaker 3: So because Australia Post gets the postage of all the
Speaker 3: stuff that people are buying online, So yeah, that's the
Speaker 3: issue anyway. But by twenty thirty is what they're predicting
Speaker 3: that Amazon and those other online platforms will control fifty
Speaker 3: percent of the online market in Australia.
Speaker 2: And now social media companies are using data and AI
Speaker 2: to figure out our age without us telling them and
Speaker 2: without us even knowing that they're figuring that out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this has been really big because of the band
Speaker 3: that came into effect this week for under sixteen's, and
Speaker 3: we know that it's going to be a teething process
Speaker 3: because there's been lots everyone's running the stories of all
Speaker 3: the under sixteens who are able to fool the new
Speaker 3: protections and some kids have been able to stay on
Speaker 3: all those social medias when the band is now in place,
Speaker 3: the reality of it is always.
Speaker 1: Going to be smart kids. You know, there were fourteen
Speaker 1: year olds that were scrunching.
Speaker 3: Up their face to make them look older, like fourteen
Speaker 3: year old boys, is you know, scrunching up their face
Speaker 3: and they got through they're like, oh yeah, you're thirty
Speaker 3: and young girls putting fake eyelashes on and putting a
Speaker 3: bit of makeup on it. It's like, yeah, of course you
Speaker 3: are twenty five. So it's going to take time. But interestingly,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of other things that we do online
Speaker 3: that leave what they call a behavioral fingerprints, and that's
Speaker 3: how a lot of the AI models are kind of saying, well, okay,
Speaker 3: this is Craig.
Speaker 1: Your interaction patterns.
Speaker 3: Like the posts that you like and follow the topics
Speaker 3: and the genres that you prefer. You know, yes, you
Speaker 3: watch two thousand and one a Space Odyssey, You're probably
Speaker 3: not someone under the age of sixteen. How you scroll
Speaker 3: what you slow down and speed up at so the
Speaker 3: interest factor there, So it might be reminiscing about the
Speaker 3: eighties and you pause on it because it shows a
Speaker 3: DeLorean or something. You know, these are the things that
Speaker 3: younger people will scroll past, but older people won't scroll
Speaker 3: as quickly. They may even pause, So just that pausing
Speaker 3: for a second, even if you don't read it, This
Speaker 3: is frightening. How you know, these massive companies are able
Speaker 3: to use these scary algorithms to type set.
Speaker 1: You to know more about you.
Speaker 3: You behavior is what you like, say you dislikes, and
Speaker 3: it could be something simple as you know, woman in
Speaker 3: bikini with brown hair, woman in bikini with blonde hair.
Speaker 3: You pause over one and not over the other. Okay,
Speaker 3: so Craig likes Brunette's. You know, literally, this is the algorithm,
Speaker 3: and this is the technology that's being used to categorize
Speaker 3: people who are using social media.
Speaker 2: Wowser, wowsers, It's kind of yeah, it's an avalanche at
Speaker 2: the moment. Now for Ron and Mary, my beautiful parents
Speaker 2: who both can't hear, Patrick, we're scrolling down to the
Speaker 2: health section just so you can keep up with me.
Speaker 2: For Ron and Mary, who have got real trouble hearing,
Speaker 2: it seems that you've got some medical advice for them
Speaker 2: what they should use.
Speaker 1: And this is going to have a whole lot of
Speaker 1: health benefits right across. Hey, Tip, why do you hear this?
Speaker 3: So evidently VIAGRAA reverses damage behind deafness.
Speaker 2: Hey Ron, Hey Ron, I'll be up on the weekend.
Speaker 2: Don't worry.
Speaker 1: That helps blocked ears.
Speaker 2: Now I've got I've got I've got periodic deafness. Yeah,
Speaker 2: how he is? Now? Oh shit ouse, but my cock's
Speaker 2: as hard as a rock. I still can't hear though, OK,
Speaker 2: now that'd be my luck.
Speaker 3: Well, we're talking about a serious form of deafness here,
Speaker 3: craigo right.
Speaker 2: Born with hearing loss. I'm sorry, sorry for not being serious.
Speaker 2: Patrick Patrick's like, hey, pay attention. You wrote, you've.
Speaker 1: Put it on the list.
Speaker 2: It literally says biagra of reversus damage behind deafness, And
Speaker 2: then what do you want me not to make fun
Speaker 2: of that?
Speaker 1: This is a win win all round. Good.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is scientifically valid and also fucking hilarious and
Speaker 2: also opened the door for a cock joke.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. It's like the trifecta.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well so this that's basically it. Yeah, that's great
Speaker 3: that the viagra is having this multi purpose usage.
Speaker 1: I think it's fantastic. I'm sorry for all the fluffers
Speaker 1: who lost their job causation or correlation.
Speaker 2: I don't know that's a good Patrick Patrick just said, Tiff,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for all the fluffers who lost their job.
Speaker 1: Do you know do you know what a fluffer is?
Speaker 4: Yes? Yes? Someone that yes?
Speaker 2: Tell our tell our younger listeners what a fluffer is.
Speaker 2: Just in light now younger listeners who are going, I
Speaker 2: don't know what a fluffer is.
Speaker 4: Someone whose job it is to make sure a person
Speaker 4: is aptly prepared to perform.
Speaker 1: What person in what context? For what job?
Speaker 4: A bloke who needs to.
Speaker 1: But what job? What job?
Speaker 2: We're not talking about Brian and reservoir. Yes, it's in porn.
Speaker 2: So there used to be there, used to be these
Speaker 2: people and their job was just to get old mate
Speaker 2: ready to go. But that person got replaced by a pill.
Speaker 2: Talk about technology, imagine saying a pill took my.
Speaker 1: Job, especially if you've had your own news skill.
Speaker 3: Hey, what happens if that fluffer as he got older,
Speaker 3: then goes death. It's like we can give you viagra.
Speaker 3: No way, he stole my job. I'm not taking that. Sorry.
Speaker 2: I don't think fluffers were boys, Patrick in the most part,
Speaker 2: I guess, so I don't know that.
Speaker 1: Maybe on your pawn that's.
Speaker 2: Over here, over here, point.
Speaker 1: That's so funny.
Speaker 2: That's so funny. The US plans to order foreign tourists,
Speaker 2: including Ozzies, to disclose social media histories.
Speaker 3: What yes, forty countries around the world that are on
Speaker 3: what they call visa exempt, so the visa exempt countries,
Speaker 3: so Australians and New Zealands are included in that. Effectively,
Speaker 3: you would have to when applying for a entry into
Speaker 3: the US, you would have to disclose all of your
Speaker 3: social media data since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: Wow, this is a Trump initiative. Yep, how how do
Speaker 2: we even Yeah, why do they need that? What can
Speaker 2: they even like? There must be so many people coming in.
Speaker 2: How on earth do they disseminate that this.
Speaker 1: Is before you enter the country.
Speaker 3: You've got to give them access to your social media
Speaker 3: for five years before you can enter the country.
Speaker 1: It only just came out.
Speaker 3: Recently, and look, I don't even know how that would
Speaker 3: work in terms of how you do it. But when
Speaker 3: you make the tourist visa application, you know we are
Speaker 3: visa exempt in Australia, but maying to get into the country,
Speaker 3: you've got to basically say, because they're saying they want
Speaker 3: to filter out people who may have had bad opinions
Speaker 3: about the US, if you've said something bad about Donald Trump,
Speaker 3: you couldn't effectively be kicked out or not allowed into
Speaker 3: the country.
Speaker 2: So much of a free speech now apparently if I'm
Speaker 2: going to have an account with a password, I shouldn't
Speaker 2: use admin ad M. I N I shouldn't use that
Speaker 2: as my password. Who would have thought, Patrick?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 3: Or if you happen to have a very famous art
Speaker 3: gallery and you have security cameras, maybe not use the
Speaker 3: word louve as.
Speaker 1: Your password via security system. Is that true? Is that
Speaker 1: what happened? No?
Speaker 2: No, no, okay, because they just got robbed.
Speaker 1: You're being funny. That's true, Look it up? Is it
Speaker 1: actually true? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Evidently an earlier password was louve with capital although.
Speaker 2: It couldn't crook spell louve. That might have been if
Speaker 2: they weren't friends, ye had probably not. Wow, I love
Speaker 2: this one. A Sydney car theft was basically thwarted by
Speaker 2: crooks who couldn't drive.
Speaker 1: A manual I know, isn't that great?
Speaker 3: So they tried to steal a car and then they
Speaker 3: had to abandon it because they.
Speaker 1: Didn't know drive a manual car.
Speaker 2: That's the sign of the times, isn't it.
Speaker 1: It's pretty hard to get a manual car these days.
Speaker 1: It's not many on the market.
Speaker 3: A friend of mine, who's an older woman in her seventies,
Speaker 3: bought a bright fire engine red WRX because she wanted
Speaker 3: to have a manual car and it was one of
Speaker 3: the few on the market.
Speaker 1: So now she's just this hoon.
Speaker 3: Driving around the land a red w Hi Judy, if
Speaker 3: you're listening, Hi Judy, Lady.

Speaker 2: it's kind of driving automatic. I've got yeah, I've got
Speaker 2: an automatic as well, but it's like it's kind of
Speaker 2: I think, you know. I was listening to this guy
Speaker 2: that you may or may not know called Stephen Bartlett Patrick.
Speaker 1: Do you know him?
Speaker 2: He has a very big podcast, one of the top
Speaker 2: ten in the world called CEO of a Diary.

Speaker 2: Sorry fuck, Come on, harps, how's your dyslexia? And he
Speaker 2: was just talking about how he has two autonomous vehicles
Speaker 2: and he's in LA. He doesn't drive anymore, so he
Speaker 2: just goes and gets in his car, tells it or
Speaker 2: whatever you do, program it, tell it where to take you.
Speaker 2: Sits in the passenger seat or I don't know, maybe
Speaker 2: the driver's seat, and it just takes him wherever he
Speaker 2: wants to go. You'd be pretty comfortable with that. Wouldn't
Speaker 2: you like I think you would like that?
Speaker 1: Or am I wrong? Definitely?
Speaker 3: If I was driving in Melbourne, I would I get
Speaker 3: white knuckle. I've been living in the country for nearly
Speaker 3: seventeen years. I get white knuckle driving in Melbourne. It's
Speaker 3: awful traffic, people cutting you off, no one uses indicators.
Speaker 1: Damn. I'd be going for an autonomous car much safer.
Speaker 2: TIF if you had to choose for the next two years,
Speaker 2: you can have an autonomous car and it'll drive you everywhere.
Speaker 2: You've just got to get in it, or you've got
Speaker 2: to drive yourself anywhere and needed to be one or
Speaker 2: the other.
Speaker 1: What would you choose?
Speaker 4: I think once I tried it, like the idea of
Speaker 4: it freaks me out, but then the idea of trusting it.
Speaker 4: If I trusted it, yeah, hell yeah, but I would
Speaker 4: I would go weired it out by the idea of it.

Speaker 2: what to make a casserole.
Speaker 1: I could do it on Well, I do that on
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 3: I'm going into Melbourne on Sunday morning, and I thought,
Speaker 3: I'm going to go in the city.
Speaker 1: Why would I drive? And then you got to worry
Speaker 1: about parking. Just jump on the train. So effectively the
Speaker 1: same thing.
Speaker 2: As well, well it effectively the same. I don't know
Speaker 2: that a train is the same as an autonomous car,
Speaker 2: but anyway, I'm not driving it.
