1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast 2 00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,973 Speaker 1: from News Talk SEDB. 3 00:00:12,733 --> 00:00:14,813 Speaker 2: Twenty one to eleven non news talks. HEB. There's this 4 00:00:14,893 --> 00:00:17,693 Speaker 2: thing with modern communication that really irritates me. It's when 5 00:00:17,693 --> 00:00:20,613 Speaker 2: people send me voice memos. It's just so annoying. You 6 00:00:20,613 --> 00:00:22,533 Speaker 2: can do it via text these days, or we can 7 00:00:22,573 --> 00:00:25,333 Speaker 2: do it on WhatsApp, so instead of typing out a message, 8 00:00:25,533 --> 00:00:27,773 Speaker 2: you just hold the microphone and then end up talking 9 00:00:27,773 --> 00:00:30,253 Speaker 2: inevitably for about three minutes longer than you absolutely needed 10 00:00:30,253 --> 00:00:32,493 Speaker 2: to to send a message to someone. For whatever reason. 11 00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:35,253 Speaker 2: It really really grinds my gears. And of course I've 12 00:00:35,253 --> 00:00:37,293 Speaker 2: made the mistake of telling my friends this, and so 13 00:00:37,533 --> 00:00:41,773 Speaker 2: they send me nothing but voice memos. Anyway, WhatsApp is 14 00:00:41,813 --> 00:00:45,333 Speaker 2: coming out with a new service whereby it'll transcribe those 15 00:00:45,573 --> 00:00:48,813 Speaker 2: incredibly annoying voice notes and our textbitt. Paul Steinehouse is 16 00:00:48,813 --> 00:00:51,333 Speaker 2: here with all the details. Oh my goodness, Paul, I'm 17 00:00:51,333 --> 00:00:54,413 Speaker 2: so excited. Aren't they just the worst? 18 00:00:53,933 --> 00:00:57,013 Speaker 3: I read your message. I don't want to hear your podcast, 19 00:00:57,333 --> 00:01:00,533 Speaker 3: you just want to read it. Yeah, but this is great. 20 00:01:00,573 --> 00:01:02,413 Speaker 3: This is kind of like one of these good things 21 00:01:02,413 --> 00:01:04,813 Speaker 3: about AI. Right, So it's coming to Android. It's coming 22 00:01:04,853 --> 00:01:08,373 Speaker 3: to iOS in the coming weeks. According to WhatsApp. I 23 00:01:08,613 --> 00:01:12,173 Speaker 3: like it because it is actually faster to talk, but it's. 24 00:01:12,093 --> 00:01:16,813 Speaker 2: Quicky to read. Yes, oh ah, it seems so obvious 25 00:01:16,853 --> 00:01:17,813 Speaker 2: and I've never thought about that. 26 00:01:17,973 --> 00:01:20,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's why people like it, right, That's why 27 00:01:20,653 --> 00:01:23,413 Speaker 3: people send them because it's great for them pain in 28 00:01:23,453 --> 00:01:26,013 Speaker 3: that if you want to be the recipient. So this 29 00:01:26,093 --> 00:01:28,733 Speaker 3: is actually the best of both worlds. Now, it's not 30 00:01:28,773 --> 00:01:30,533 Speaker 3: going to be done by the cloud though, which is 31 00:01:30,533 --> 00:01:32,973 Speaker 3: probably a good thing for those privacy conscious folks. It's 32 00:01:32,973 --> 00:01:35,973 Speaker 3: going to be done on the device, so WhatsApp doesn't 33 00:01:35,973 --> 00:01:39,333 Speaker 3: actually know the contents of what that person is saying. 34 00:01:39,573 --> 00:01:41,173 Speaker 3: But yeah, coming in the next couple of weeks. Keep 35 00:01:41,173 --> 00:01:42,053 Speaker 3: an eye out, very good. 36 00:01:42,133 --> 00:01:45,733 Speaker 2: Hey, bitcoin is just going to the moon at the moment, 37 00:01:45,733 --> 00:01:48,573 Speaker 2: as they say, or go to the moon to the stars. Yeah, 38 00:01:48,693 --> 00:01:51,973 Speaker 2: one hundred grand so one bit coin's very quickly approaching 39 00:01:51,973 --> 00:01:53,053 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand years dollars. 40 00:01:53,533 --> 00:01:55,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, wild, I just took a look today. It's fallen 41 00:01:56,013 --> 00:01:57,893 Speaker 3: back a little bit, but it did get shy of 42 00:01:57,893 --> 00:02:00,653 Speaker 3: about one hundred and fifty dollars of hitting the one 43 00:02:00,693 --> 00:02:03,533 Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars mark. This time. In twenty twenty two, 44 00:02:03,893 --> 00:02:07,933 Speaker 3: bitcoin was fifteen thousand dollars, so huge rise. We've seen 45 00:02:07,933 --> 00:02:10,013 Speaker 3: again one hundred and thirty percent so far this year, 46 00:02:10,293 --> 00:02:14,373 Speaker 3: just forty percent, not just forty percent, forty percent just 47 00:02:14,453 --> 00:02:18,213 Speaker 3: since the presidential election, which is crazy. And that's why 48 00:02:18,253 --> 00:02:21,253 Speaker 3: they think that it will continue to go because Donald 49 00:02:21,293 --> 00:02:25,293 Speaker 3: Trump is considered to be crypto friendly, you see, and 50 00:02:25,373 --> 00:02:29,373 Speaker 3: so the bulls have got their money on this going 51 00:02:29,733 --> 00:02:30,373 Speaker 3: sky high. 52 00:02:30,413 --> 00:02:34,133 Speaker 2: So keeping an eye, okay, and Amazon is investing four 53 00:02:34,173 --> 00:02:36,693 Speaker 2: billion dollars in chat GPT's rival. 54 00:02:36,853 --> 00:02:39,893 Speaker 3: Why yeah, I have a feeling you might be thinking, 55 00:02:39,973 --> 00:02:42,133 Speaker 3: haven't we already talked about this at some point this year? 56 00:02:42,213 --> 00:02:45,213 Speaker 3: Because year we have. This is the second, yes, their 57 00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:49,333 Speaker 3: second four billion dollar investment that Amazon's made in Anthropic, 58 00:02:49,373 --> 00:02:51,373 Speaker 3: So they've just thrown a casual eight billion dollars at 59 00:02:51,413 --> 00:02:56,773 Speaker 3: the company this year. Insane interesting though, Jack. They have 60 00:02:56,933 --> 00:03:00,373 Speaker 3: made it a condition of the deal their Anthropic must 61 00:03:00,533 --> 00:03:05,653 Speaker 3: use AWS, their cloud computing service, as their primary cloud provider, right, 62 00:03:05,813 --> 00:03:09,773 Speaker 3: and they've also said that they will use Amazon's AI 63 00:03:09,893 --> 00:03:12,653 Speaker 3: chips to develop some of their most advanced models. So 64 00:03:13,013 --> 00:03:14,413 Speaker 3: it's a little bit of a we're going to give 65 00:03:14,413 --> 00:03:16,973 Speaker 3: you cash which it sounds like they need, but there 66 00:03:17,013 --> 00:03:20,293 Speaker 3: are some conditions attached, which I guess it's smart. 67 00:03:20,453 --> 00:03:24,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, and speaking of chat GPT, GPT is rumored to 68 00:03:24,333 --> 00:03:26,173 Speaker 2: have a web browser in the works. 69 00:03:26,613 --> 00:03:29,213 Speaker 3: Yeah. This is some reporting coming from a website called 70 00:03:29,213 --> 00:03:33,333 Speaker 3: The Information, and I find it fascinating because when we 71 00:03:33,413 --> 00:03:36,413 Speaker 3: think of Google, we think of search and we also 72 00:03:36,493 --> 00:03:39,253 Speaker 3: think of Chrome, and the two are so synonymous that 73 00:03:39,813 --> 00:03:43,693 Speaker 3: the doj over here wants to potentially get the courts 74 00:03:43,733 --> 00:03:45,653 Speaker 3: to break up Google and force it to sell its 75 00:03:45,733 --> 00:03:50,653 Speaker 3: Chrome web browser. So it's really fascinating that chat GPT 76 00:03:50,773 --> 00:03:53,533 Speaker 3: is now trying to position itself not just as the 77 00:03:53,653 --> 00:03:56,973 Speaker 3: new search engine by talking to AI, but now wanting 78 00:03:57,013 --> 00:04:00,253 Speaker 3: to actually think of themselves as a web browser as well. 79 00:04:00,333 --> 00:04:03,493 Speaker 3: So they are coming hot on the heels of Google's 80 00:04:04,413 --> 00:04:09,133 Speaker 3: massive monopoly they have over on the market. But it's 81 00:04:09,133 --> 00:04:11,173 Speaker 3: interesting here that they say that it may also include 82 00:04:11,213 --> 00:04:14,853 Speaker 3: some partnerships and integrations with e commerce websites and apps, 83 00:04:15,413 --> 00:04:19,333 Speaker 3: which I found interesting because obviously they haven't found a 84 00:04:19,373 --> 00:04:23,973 Speaker 3: great way to monetize chet GPT yet. Maybe these will 85 00:04:24,013 --> 00:04:26,373 Speaker 3: be sort of like super premium sponsored results. So you 86 00:04:26,453 --> 00:04:28,493 Speaker 3: jump on there and you're like trying to search, he 87 00:04:28,653 --> 00:04:31,893 Speaker 3: chet gpt what's the best vacuum cleaner? And maybe it'll 88 00:04:31,893 --> 00:04:35,373 Speaker 3: pop off to Walmart or Amazon or the Spy or 89 00:04:35,373 --> 00:04:37,573 Speaker 3: whoever it is, and maybe there's some sort of tie 90 00:04:37,573 --> 00:04:39,573 Speaker 3: in there. It only had a small mention of it, 91 00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:41,453 Speaker 3: but I'm kind of fascinated to see how that plays 92 00:04:41,453 --> 00:04:41,813 Speaker 3: out too. 93 00:04:41,933 --> 00:04:43,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it feels like this is the kind of 94 00:04:43,853 --> 00:04:47,253 Speaker 2: technology that could potentially disrupt some of those long term 95 00:04:47,293 --> 00:04:49,853 Speaker 2: big digital players, right, So for something for a company 96 00:04:49,893 --> 00:04:53,973 Speaker 2: like Google, which you know is still an absolute giant 97 00:04:54,013 --> 00:04:56,213 Speaker 2: in the digital space, this is the sort of tech 98 00:04:56,253 --> 00:05:00,133 Speaker 2: that could all of a sudden change the game very quickly. 99 00:05:00,613 --> 00:05:03,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, this CEO knows that too. He's even 100 00:05:03,213 --> 00:05:06,133 Speaker 3: made some comments about the fact that these startups are 101 00:05:06,133 --> 00:05:08,333 Speaker 3: going to eat their lunch. You know. Google is kind 102 00:05:08,333 --> 00:05:10,453 Speaker 3: of like, notoriously the Fun Office, Right, you go, you 103 00:05:10,493 --> 00:05:12,533 Speaker 3: play the ping pong, you do some work, you have lunch. 104 00:05:12,933 --> 00:05:15,293 Speaker 3: And he's kind of saying that that's actually, now, what 105 00:05:15,613 --> 00:05:17,933 Speaker 3: was a pro of Google has almost become a con 106 00:05:18,013 --> 00:05:21,293 Speaker 3: because he's like, the startups are hungry. Yeah, they don't stop, 107 00:05:21,293 --> 00:05:26,253 Speaker 3: they don't play ping pong. She said, Yeah, he's actually 108 00:05:26,333 --> 00:05:28,893 Speaker 3: said that that's a concern for their company, like back 109 00:05:28,893 --> 00:05:29,773 Speaker 3: to the office people. 110 00:05:29,853 --> 00:05:33,733 Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks change. Hey, thanks Paul, appreciate it. That's our textbot, 111 00:05:33,773 --> 00:05:36,373 Speaker 2: Paul Steinhouse. Thanks for your feedback as well. Jack. Just 112 00:05:36,413 --> 00:05:39,013 Speaker 2: so you know, Lego are about to release the Endurance 113 00:05:39,053 --> 00:05:41,933 Speaker 2: as in the ship. It looks absolutely fantastic, says Shane. 114 00:05:41,933 --> 00:05:44,213 Speaker 2: Didn't know that. I didn't know that, Shane. Oh, so, 115 00:05:44,533 --> 00:05:48,173 Speaker 2: like presumably it's the Endurance before the Endurance went down. 116 00:05:49,293 --> 00:05:52,213 Speaker 2: But yeah, there's a Lego for everything these days, isn't there. 117 00:05:52,213 --> 00:05:53,453 Speaker 2: But that does sound like a bit of meat. 118 00:05:54,213 --> 00:05:57,333 Speaker 1: For more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame, listen live 119 00:05:57,413 --> 00:06:00,213 Speaker 1: to news talks that'd be from nine am Saturday, or 120 00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:02,213 Speaker 1: follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
