1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six on demand.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: I've been a news from Tinseltown and beyond. Netflix has

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: gone all woke you Netflix, straight up woke. I know

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 2: because the Pentagon said so. Indeed, indeed, they've got a

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: new series mark have you seen it called Boots. I don't.

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: Somebody's asked me about Netflix and I and I don't

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: have Netflix. It's the only Netflix in paramount, like the

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: only streaming services I don't have because Netflix just started

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: to get so expensive and it just started to irritate me,

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: so I dumped it. But now everybody else is catching

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: up to the Netflix price now. So anyway, Netflix, Netflix

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: got the boot first and now they have a new

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: series called Boots, which is a dramay about a closeted

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: gay marine in nineteen ninety and evidently it is very

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: popular on Netflix. So it is a loose adaptation of

16
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: the Pink Marine, which is from Sergeant Greg Cope White.

17
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: And the Pentagon was asked about it because that's journalism.

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: Now what are you talking about the new show on Netflix?

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: Pentagon press secretary called Netflix content woke garbage. So the

20
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: the Press Secretary, Kingsley Wilson uh put out a statement

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: and emphasize a return to the warrior ethos under President

22
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: Trump and Secretary Hexeth, rejecting what she called ideological agendas. Now,

23
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: if you get anything out of this, I want you

24
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 2: to start paying attention to the way that certain words

25
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: are being used to market to you. So you've got

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: the warrior ethos. Okay, what does that do? I didn't

27
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 2: do anything. I saw there's an ad running.

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

29
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: I forget what station I saw it on, maybe something Hulu.

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: Have you seen this ad market? It's the Uh it's

31
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: for a hoodie and it's got it's a tactical hoodie.

32
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: Well, all guys love tactical gear, that's it. What is

33
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: tactical about a hoodie? Just like we love cargo shorts.

34
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: Come on, what is tactical about a hoodie? They're like, Oh,

35
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: it's a tactical hoodie. What is tactical about it? No,

36
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 2: you want to say that it's rugged. You want to

37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: say that it's made with a certain weave that is

38
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: tear resistant, something of that sort. That's fine. It would

39
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: have said it's waterproof. That's great. Look, I've got I've

40
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: got some car hearts that are waterproof and and they're

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: the ones I use when I'm doing field work at

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: my parents' house. You know, I'll be doing that next week.

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: I'll be in Michigan, uh, and I'll be working in

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: the in the in the cold. It's the end of October.

45
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: It's cold. I'll be doing leaves and I'll be in

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: my my car. Heart. But it's not tactical. The military

47
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: is funny because they have they have what they call

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: tactical stretching. Yep, it's tactical stretching. Do you know what

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: tactical stretching is? And yoga it's yoga. Yoga, really, it's yoga. Yeah,

50
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: but they can't call it yoga because that doesn't have

51
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: the warrior ethos. So they call it tactical stretching. Okay.

52
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: I guess if you add tactical to anything, it makes

53
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: it sound just a little bit more. Butch doesn't it

54
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely it's more manly. Yeah, And I'm not woke. I'm tactical, right.

55
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: And so you start seeing these little dog whistles that

56
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: are being put everywhere, and the military knows, they know it.

57
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: And look, if you're trying to sell yourself as a

58
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: place for young men to sign up and dedicate a

59
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: portion of their young lives to before they head off

60
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: to college or whatever else it is.

61
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: I get it. It makes perfect sense. You know your audience.

62
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: You're marketing to them. I don't like being marketed to

63
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: all the time, though, And look, I actually like a

64
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: good hoodie. I will pay good money, as I did

65
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: for my car herd.

66
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: I will pay good money for a waterproof hoodie that

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: is rip resistant and warm and insulated, and I can

68
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: use it when I'm snowblowing or when I'm a rake

69
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: and leaves.

70
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, right, I'm all for it. To me.

71
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: It's very practical.

72
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: It's utilitarian, but it's not tactical, and I find that

73
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: to be a huge turnoff.

74
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: So anyway, the Pentagon says boots is woke garbage, and

75
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: it's it is. It's not in line with the warrior ethos.

76
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: Well, you're not about to suggest that there could possibly

77
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: be any gay people in the military.

78
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 2: Are you. No, there are not. We got rid of

79
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: a please. You know, I recall it's been fifteen years

80
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: or more. Did Mark moved them at Dena Jatte? You

81
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: remember that guy? He was ahead of Iran? Oh and yeah,

82
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: so he was. I think he was at the un

83
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: and somebody asked him about how they deal with gay

84
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: people in Iran, How do you deal with gay Iranians?

85
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: And he said, we don't have any. Well, surely you

86
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: have some members of your society that are gay. Nope,

87
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: we don't have any. Okay. And that's what this reminds

88
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: me of, like, oh there are nobody is gay in

89
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: the military. No.

90
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: No, too tactical for him. It's more tactical, tactical sexual encounter.

91
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 3: This is a tactical release exercise. Careful, we're gonna do

92
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: some tactical bunking up.

93
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happened? I dropped my tactical soap Good Times.

94
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: All right, enough of that. Uh. The FCC chair Brendan

95
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: Car says we're not tactical enough. He claims it's time

96
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: to start punishing people for thought. Oh good, you know.

97
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: I was worried we weren't barreling toward nineteen eighty four

98
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: fast enough. But lo and behold.

99
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: FCC chair Brendan Car says.

100
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: He from a Barrett media he's.

101
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: Very reopen to revoking broadcast licenses from broadcasters. In an

102
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: interview with Media Research Center President David Bozel, Car stated

103
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: that it's his.

104
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: Book by the way Media Research Center that is a

105
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: way right wing news what do you call them, uh,

106
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: news watchdog. They're kind of like a media watch for the.

107
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: Right belief that leading the FCC means he has a

108
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: duty to reinvigorate the public interest standard, and that broadcasters

109
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 4: need to serve the needs of their local communities when

110
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 4: it comes to licensed broadcast TV.

111
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. Got to serve the needs of

112
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: the local community. So again we're in a denial phase.

113
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: So it's like, you have to serve the needs of

114
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: your local community.

115
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 3: And we've got a number of people here who voted

116
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: for President Trump that don't like what this broadcast is saying.

117
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: So you're not serving the needs. What about the people

118
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: that do like it? We don't worry about their needs.

119
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: Were were about our needs, tactical needs.

120
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 4: Only twenty six percent of news consumers trust AI information.

121
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: According to new data revealed at the NAB Show New York,

122
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: sixty eight percent of respondents that AI generated information is

123
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: not trustworthy. Eight seventy six percent are concerned about AI

124
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 4: stealing or reproducing local news stories.

125
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: There you go, Mark, AI is gonna do it. We're

126
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: not gonna limit AI, but we're gonna limit people for

127
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: not serving the certain portions of the community.

128
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: Well, what's more American than punishing people for free speech?

129
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, or well taking away their broadcast licens.

130
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 3: Really learned the lesson from that whole Kimmel fiasco leaning

131
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: on ABC.

132
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, did you see that Disney cancelations

133
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: like doubled the rate of cancelations doubled.

134
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, story today, and they lost something like five billion

135
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: dollars in market value as well. That.

136
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 2: Honestly, I saw people saying, I'm canceling, and I'm canceling,

137
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: and I'm canceling it. I never imagined that it was

138
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: going up to four million cancelations. Now.

139
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: They normally have like two million cancelations a month.

140
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: Right, they come and they go. So it's not like

141
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: four million people canceled because of Jimmy Kimmel, but you

142
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: could probably reasonably assume that two million plus did their

143
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: normal rate doubled at Hulu and Disney. Yeah, that I

144
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: was wrong. I saw people saying I'm gonna cancel, and

145
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, okay, well they don't care about you.

146
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: But also, let me make this point. They got him

147
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: back on, and I think it's important to do a

148
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: follow up to what the subscription rate was after he's

149
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: back on and football season is in the throws because

150
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: as Disney and Hulu carry football, and it's Disney and

151
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: ESPN now are teaming up because now you've got Monday

152
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: night football with Disney, You've got ESPN that's got the

153
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: college football rights, and football is king in America. It

154
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: is driving content and especially appointment viewing more than any

155
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: anything else networks are. They are fighting for sports right

156
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: now because that's where they get their appointment viewing. And

157
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: I think we're going to see those numbers reverse. Maybe

158
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: not at the same rate, but I would not be

159
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: surprised to see that subscription numbers increase more, maybe fifty

160
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: percent rather than rather than double, But I would not

161
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: be surprised to see those numbers come back. But look,

162
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: I was wrong about the cancelations. I could be wrong

163
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: about people returning. Absolutely could happen. It's been known.

164
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: It's been known to not often, but there are instances

165
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: of you being wrong. Yeah, oh heaven forbidden. No, No,

166
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: I mean rare, but it does happen, So mark it down.

167
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: Oh have you ever wanted to own an iconic piece

168
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 2: of movie memorabilia. Of course, I'd be meat for the collection.

169
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: What if it's too big to throw in the den?

170
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: What if you could just rent it for a week weekend.

171
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 3: You'll find out where your rental money could go and

172
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: make you the scariest person this Halloween.

173
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: That is next. I'm Chris Merrill.

174
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

175
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 2: Oh, much to the chagrin of one Mark Ronner will

176
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: get pixel perfect with Ai coming up here after his

177
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: nine thirty news. You love antagonizing me a little bit,

178
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: a little bit, a little bit, little bit. Okay, how

179
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: about the greatest airbnb in southern California for Halloween? Anyway,

180
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: it could be the Poltergeist House. Listen to that eighties soundtrack. Ooh,

181
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: I love that, well done, ABC seven.

182
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 5: Like the house is getting a new life and people

183
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 5: able to experience it in really cool and interesting and

184
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 5: munique ways. Buying this house was not quite what I

185
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 5: had planned in life.

186
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: I actually had.

187
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 5: A gut instinct about a month before it went on

188
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 5: the market. Fast forward a month later, I'm in my

189
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 5: backyard of my sister's house. She's like, Hey, the Poltergeis

190
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 5: house is on the market. Next thing. I know, I

191
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 5: am calling my realtor getting pre approved, and I'm in

192
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 5: the kitchen in the Poltergeis house.

193
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: Whoo. I kind of love that the house looks just

194
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: like the one next to it and the one next

195
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: to that.

196
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 5: I grew up watching the culture. I've probably seen it

197
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 5: about fifty times before I bought the house, and now

198
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 5: since I bought the house, now probably another fifty.

199
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: Is that one of those things where you just keep

200
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 2: it rolling, like you just you just have it on

201
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: constant repeat. I give me an example. I think you

202
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: almost have to do this a certain museum pieces. So

203
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: I've made mentioned more than once, probably irritatingly so that

204
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 2: I grew up in northern Michigan. So last summer, or

205
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 2: I guess it was a labor day, my wife and

206
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: I went up to the Upper Peninsula and whenever we're

207
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: up there, always like to go up to the white

208
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: Fish Point. If you're unfamiliar, Whitefish Point is where Edmund

209
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: Fitzgerald sank, and so there's a coast Guard station up there,

210
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: and then there's a museum. It's a shipwreck museum. It's

211
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: a great lake. Shipwreck museum is there at Whitefish Point,

212
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: and a cool place goes through all the different shipwrecks,

213
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: and of course Edmond Fitzgerald is prominently featured, but there

214
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: are a number of others, hundreds of shipwrecks in the

215
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: Great Lakes. When you walk in, they have Gordon Lightfoot

216
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: playing on repeat, which must be absolute torture for the

217
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: people working there. Granted, it's a great song, but any

218
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: song over and over and over again, day in and

219
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: day out, day in and day out. I mean, that's

220
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: that's how you break terraces, right, that's Abu Grebe stuff.

221
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: Come on, who doesn't love a shanty, a good shanty.

222
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: Everybody loves a show.

223
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: So anyway, I'm just thinking when you when you're at

224
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: the Poltergeist House, you basically have to have that running

225
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: NonStop and room anyway, don't you. You have to.

226
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 5: I wanted to bring the feeling of the eerie charm,

227
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 5: but also have it warm and inviting.

228
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: I wanted warm and inviting, like when she disappeared and

229
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: was talking through the television, to have.

230
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 5: A balance between modern amenities. Especially there's a lot of

231
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 5: families that come here, and so kids may not want

232
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 5: to play on the Atari. They might want to play

233
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 5: on the Xbox on the app on the smart TV.

234
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. You still end up getting sucked into

235
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: a vortex.

236
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, instead and again, just bringing people together and families together.

237
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 5: And what do you love to do around a fire?

238
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 5: Die signature Poultergeist, some moors at the Poltergeist House.

239
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: Okay.

240
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 5: What's interesting is that every time somebody inquires about the house,

241
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 5: they tell me their story. And it's really cool because

242
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 5: it's never just a Hey, I want to book the house.

243
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 5: It's Poltergeist. The movie means something to me and I

244
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 5: want to be able to experience it in real life.

245
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: Okay, are you in or are you one of those

246
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: that that freaks out? It was just a movie, But

247
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: are you in? Because I am. I am one of

248
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: these people that does not get spooked by uh by, Look,

249
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: I got the little hesitation, I got the little hold.

250
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: Did you hear that in the back of my head? Look,

251
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: I get that. But whenever I watched all these ghost

252
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: hunting shows, I've just rolled my eyes. I'm more fascinated

253
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: with the history of the facility where there it's always

254
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: like an asylum or an old prison, something like that. Right,

255
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: I'm always more fascinated by that than I am the

256
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: whole whose thing?

257
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 3: Oh look, gosh, I just got a chill. Oh my gosh,

258
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: did you hear that? I think the wind blew? Oh

259
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: my gosh, I hate that crap. Poltergeist House was never

260
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: actually haunted. It was just the setting for a film.

261
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 3: But some people still are going to freak out.

262
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: Not me. I would love it. I'm with this lady

263
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: like I. I would just love to be there, so great.

264
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: I'd stay there.

265
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: But I do think we're getting dumber if people are

266
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: worried about a movie Seid. But would you stay in

267
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: some place like the Amityville actual houis?

268
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely you would.

269
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, yeah, I know it's like, oh, but how

270
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: could it's actually haunted?

271
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: Okay, sure it is. Okay, No, I'm not a big

272
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: fan of that side. I just don't look. Let me

273
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: here's here's what it was. We get this all the time.

274
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: You go. You ever watch one of those shows where

275
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: they're hunting big foot and they're like, oh do you

276
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: hear that? Oh wait, that was that was a big foot.

277
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: That was a big foot, that was a squatch, that

278
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: was a squatch, And you're like, oh my gosh, you're

279
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: in the woods and you heard a noise, and you

280
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: know that it was a squatch. Yeah, come over here,

281
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: Lo Gooas, see the way his twigs are broken, Lucas.

282
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: You see this hair? See this hair I found on

283
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: this branch. That's not, dear a squatch. And yet they

284
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: never find a squad. We are squatch free, right. And

285
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: then you go to some cabin in the woods, right

286
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: deep in the woods where they're hunting ghosts, and then

287
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: they hear something. Do you hear that there's a ghost?

288
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: And we've got the history and so and so died

289
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: here in eighteen ninety four and it was there's scary

290
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: circumstances and it was a but we've got we've got

291
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: our ghost meter, and our ghost meter says the ghost

292
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: is in here. And you go, oh my gosh, it's

293
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: definitely haunted. We know because the ghost meter said. So

294
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: you ever notice that when they're hunting ghosts, they never

295
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: accidentally find bigfoot, and when they're hunting bigfoot, they never

296
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: accidentally find the ghosts. Well, you want to stay focused. Yeah,

297
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: that isn't that something? You know? Isn't that something really interesting?

298
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: Because I gotta tell you, if I'm looking for sharks,

299
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: there's a chance I run across in Orca because it's

300
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: the ocean, right. Oh, I was looking for sharks, but

301
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: I found this killer whale. Crazy how those things cohabitate.

302
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: But evidently bigfoot and ghosts don't cohabitate because it's all lore.

303
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, I would add, stay in the Ambityville home.

304
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 2: Adjust your ghost meter so that it'll it'll pick up

305
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: the ghost meter. Yeah, gotta go ghost meter.

306
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: It's all about the settings. That's exactly right. You gotta

307
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 3: get the settings right.

308
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. See, if they had just used that when they

309
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: were hunting Bigfoot, we would have caught them by now. Unbelievable.

310
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, did you hear that it's a demon?

311
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: No way? Yeah, I know a guy. He's an exorcist.

312
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's amazing, Okay, perfect. Yeah, Hey, while you're

313
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: out there, see if you see, if you smell the sasquatch,

314
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: they smell really bad. It's terrible. It's got to be

315
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: out there somewhere.

316
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 3: I think if you're not careful, you're gonna get an

317
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 3: earful from George in a few minutes.

318
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love the fantasy, and I love watching like

319
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: ancient aliens. I love watching ancient aliens that show humors.

320
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: The heck out of me. Plus I pick up a

321
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: little bit of history. Well it's mainly that guy's hair though, right.

322
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, who, by the way, live in San Diego County,

323
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 2: I believe, oh did Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah he was,

324
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: Actually he's I think he lived real close to He

325
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: was in Rancho Santa Fe and I was Rancho Santa

326
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: Fe adjacent in the poor neighborhood. At least that was

327
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 2: my understanding. So anyway, Yeah, no, he's a cool guy,

328
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: smart guy too. All right, we'll go pixel perfect and

329
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: we'll see how AI ready you are next time. Chris Merrill, you're.

330
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: Listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.

331
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: Yesterday we're talking about AI. Marked doesn't like AI. I

332
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 2: think it's fantastic because it keeps yet, it keeps you guessing.

333
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: It just keeps you on your toes and then here

334
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: you look, it keeps you on your toes enough that

335
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: it's it's gonna start popping up in places where you

336
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: don't even want it, Like when you want credible information.

337
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: That's the fear everybody has, what if the person giving

338
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: you that credible information is themselves incredible.

339
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 6: It seemed like a normal news report until the end it.

340
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: Was from the Today show I'm Not Real last.

341
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 6: Night, UK audiences watching a show about AI taking jobs

342
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 6: stunned to learn that was happening in front of their eyes,

343
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 6: and a British TV first, I'm actually an AI presenter.

344
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't on location.

345
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: You know what the most disturbing part was she was hot,

346
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: and then I felt gross.

347
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 6: Reporting this story.

348
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: My image and voice were generated using AI.

349
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 6: Before that point, the documentary had shown the host reporting

350
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 6: in multiple settings, explaining it was part of a deliberate

351
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 6: on screen stunt to show just how convincing artificial intelligence

352
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 6: has become. The dramatic reveal just the latest demonstration of

353
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 6: AI's growing influence.

354
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 2: It's happening fast too.

355
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: Three seasons and a podcast.

356
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 6: Last month, Hollywood responding to the debut of a one

357
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 6: AI generated actress. Yeah that is gross, Tillie Norwood, you

358
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 6: are what a dumb name?

359
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: Suddenly up again something that's been generated with five thousand

360
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: other actors.

361
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah as gross too, whoopee.

362
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 6: But fears of AI's growth going beyond the screen, with

363
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 6: many American workers worried about the very question posed in

364
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 6: that documentary.

365
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: So we want to.

366
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 6: Find out will AI take your job?

367
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: Will AI take your job. Well, this could be This

368
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 2: could be a bloom for the unions because you're going

369
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: to have to have some collective bargaining. You're not going

370
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 2: to be able to save your job from AI. If

371
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: the boss wants to cut you, you're cut. However, if

372
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: you've got collective bargaining and you're a member of a

373
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: union that can come together and say you can't use

374
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 2: AI instead of people, you may find yourself a little

375
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: more leverage. If you try to go it alone, you're

376
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to They're gonna say, well, I

377
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: don't need you. But if all of a sudden they realize,

378
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: oh I actually need I need some employees, and if

379
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: I start wiping people out, I'm not gonna have anybody

380
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: left and I can't have AI doing everything, then you've

381
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 2: got some more leverage. That's when you have some leverage.

382
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: I teach you yesterday, I said I was I have

383
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: one of those self evaluations due for my real job.

384
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Uh, you want to try to have AI

385
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: fill this out. I don't know if I'm comfortable with this. No,

386
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 2: because it does not sound like me. Let's put your

387
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: money where your mouth gow right here, Come on, all right.

388
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: Question number one, Please describe your progress in your key

389
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 2: priorities or goals over the past six months. So here's

390
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: what AI says. Over the past six months, I've made

391
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: significant progress across my core priorities, particularly in segment development, editorial,

392
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: in audience engagement. For KFI, I've expanded and streamlined our

393
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: segment bank, organizing content into distinct editorial lanes to allow

394
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: for instant pivots in show tone and flow. Conversational. Man,

395
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: this is crap. This is great. But the thing is,

396
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: my boss loves this garbage. She loves corporate speak like

397
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: this could be really good. I launched and iterated numerous

398
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: benchmark segments, pairing tight new summaries with weird personal questions

399
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: that drive listener engagement and spark on air debate.

400
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: Iterated, Yeah, we don't do enough iterating. Oh my gosh,

401
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 3: I need to iterate and do some more iterating.

402
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: Overall, I've deepened our editorial identity, improved workflow agility, and

403
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 2: elevated the creative bar across the radio program. I've no energized. Man,

404
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: I know, right, but this is the kind of stuff

405
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: because my daytime boss, she absolutely loves loves meetings. She

406
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: wants told me, I mean because I radio oh side

407
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: of KFI as well, And she once said, she says,

408
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 2: I don't get to listen to your show very often

409
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 2: because it's when I schedule my meetings. Don't tell your

410
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: employees that you don't listen to them, you know, but

411
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: I'm in their meetings. Oh, she loves meetings. She just

412
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: loves corporate stuff. Okay, how do you incorporate the company

413
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 2: values in your day to day work activities? Please share

414
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: at least one example of how you use core values

415
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: in your work. I consistently incorporate values in my daily work,

416
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: especially throughout my commitment to pursue excellence and work together.

417
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: Over the past six months, I've led the development of

418
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: a dynamic segment bank, which is totally a I speak

419
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 2: for when I'm putting the show together, I'm like, hang

420
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: on to this, put this in the segment bank.

421
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: Is it also a rule that you got to repeat

422
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 3: the wording of the question. Yes, I guess so, okay,

423
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: thank you you caught that. Yeah, let's see oh and again.

424
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: Organizing content in an editorial lanes that allow for instant

425
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: pivots and tone and flow. Oh, this is wonderful. I

426
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: also leaned into work together by collaborating closely with producers, writers,

427
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: and tech partners to troubleshoot workflows and improve segment turnaround. Tony,

428
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: don't you feel like we've worked together hand in hand

429
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: to troubleshoot workflows and.

430
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 3: Improve segment turnaround? Yes, I concur your iteration is accurate.

431
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: You've improved each other's flow.

432
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: Wow, Oh my gosh, that is such crap. Yeah, I

433
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: gotta tell you. If I turned that in, the boss

434
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 2: will be like, do it again. Yeah, this is just garbage,

435
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 2: although there's a big part of me that's really tempted.

436
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 2: Tomorrow morning, I actually have to sit in on uh

437
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 2: AI training for my company. So they're going to teach

438
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: us how to use the company approved AI, which my

439
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: understanding was that the last company and they change it

440
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: every week. The last company approved AI was co Pilot,

441
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 2: which is chat GPT. But then I I think they

442
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 2: found out that Copilot was using chat GPT and they

443
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 2: were like, wait, we said no to chat GPT. Yeah,

444
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 2: so now we've got a new completely never heard of

445
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: it before. AI. Oh. I can't wait for this training.

446
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll use the company's AI to help me rate

447
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: up my self evaluation.

448
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, just have it kind of feed on itself like

449
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: one of those Ora Borros images. Yes, it'll just it's

450
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 3: just like I use AI to develop new ideas, which

451
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 3: helped me to create more ideas, to feed into AI

452
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 3: to create new ideas. Oh great, it's the kind of

453
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: thing Captain Kirk would do to make a computer explode.

454
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: Do that. You're you're so right. He would, You're exactly right.

455
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: He would create a Santax error in order to to like,

456
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: you know, bomb the Klingons.

457
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: You're exactly right, be Captain Kirk. You can do it.

458
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: I could do it, and I will. All right, forget

459
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 2: about AI making your workflow iterations more effective to pivot quickly.

460
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: There's a new vehicle, a flying camera in the city

461
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: that is betting on surveillance over sirens. Miami's latest police

462
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 2: tech just got weird. The question is will their new

463
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: RoboCop work. We'll find out next. I'm Chris Merrill.

464
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI A six on demand.

465
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 2: Kiss me normally on Sunday afternoons. Let's do a little

466
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon show. And I just it's just it's fun.

467
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: I love doing it. I'm out this weekend doing a

468
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: little traveling. I'll be raking leaves, so going to the

469
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: Great White North to rake some leaves this weekend, so

470
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: I will not be here, but we'll get a chance

471
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: to catch up with you soon enough. So thank you

472
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: so much for making us a part of your evening.

473
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 2: Could not could not be more honored that you would

474
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: choose Kfie, especially when I'm on it. That's that's great.

475
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: So the city of Miami, Miami is piloting Actually it's not.

476
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: It's Miami. Miami is a city in Missouri. Did you

477
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: know that? It's true? Miami is piloting a new autonomous

478
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: police SUV that can launch surveillance drones mid patrol. So

479
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 2: I want you to think, uh, weymo with drone launching capabilities.

480
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: We are officially living in sci fi world. In fact,

481
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: I think Mark, you were mocking something yesterday about AI

482
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: doing things that and you were like, okay, sure, you

483
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 2: know you can't make it. No, no, no, we're catching up

484
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 2: to what sci fi was predicting years ago, in the

485
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: same way that we finally caught up to many of

486
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: the different predictions from Star Trek. There wasn't a question

487
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: of whether or not we'd have handheld communication devices that

488
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 2: flip open. This is a question of when and we do.

489
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: In the same way, RoboCop is coming to life. Now,

490
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: we've got autonomous police SUVs. So think weimo that can

491
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: launch surveillance drones while they're driving. Okay, The vehicle is

492
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: designed to operate without a human driver deploy the flying

493
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: cameras to monitor public spaces. The city claims it's a

494
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: leap forward in public safety and emergency use. Civil liberties

495
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: groups though I don't like it. They say the tech

496
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: will normalize mass surveillance and erode privacy rights. Since when

497
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 2: has in society a police state every roaded privacy rights?

498
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: After all, as as the smartest people among us say,

499
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 2: what do you got to hide? Right?

500
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're not doing anything wrong, what do

501
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: you got to hide? Fourth amendmentists that you'll wasted time.

502
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: Just focus on the second. That's the only one cares

503
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: about that. That's the only amendment that counts. What do

504
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 3: you got to hide?

505
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: The drought equipped suv is part of a broader push

506
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: to automate law enforcement. What could go wrong? It does

507
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: raise questions about accountability biased in the future of policing.

508
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: So I guess my question is if something goes awry,

509
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: and let's say the drone is doing things that it's

510
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: not supposed to because it's decided that it needs to

511
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: follow you, because it's following some algorithms, some protocol, some

512
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 2: some line of code that told it this was a

513
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: priority over protecting someone's privacy. What happens when the drone

514
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 2: starts flying over your bathroom window while you're trying to

515
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: take a shower because it sees a mysterious figure in

516
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: a room that shouldn't between the hours of nine pm

517
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: and one am have any emotion in it. How do

518
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: you hold that robot accountable? If a drone violates your rights?

519
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: Who do you see? You sue the city? But are

520
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: we going to give that drone the same kind of

521
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: what do they call it? Qualified immunity? I was looking

522
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 2: for you. I always think of it as the license

523
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 2: to badge who do you? Does the drone get qualified immunity?

524
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: And I said this before when we were talking about

525
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: automation AI yesterday, I said, there is no steak in

526
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 2: the game for the machines. There is steak in the

527
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: game when someone else is driving on the road. We

528
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: get angry when we see Weimo doing something crazy, even

529
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: though statistically it's far less likely to get into an action.

530
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: We get angry because that weimo has no steak in

531
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: the games is no threat. It's only a threat to you.

532
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: It is not a threat to itself because it is

533
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: not syndient. As a result, the drones don't care about

534
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: your civil liberties. They don't care about your civil rights.

535
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: It has nothing to lose by violating them. There's no

536
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: steak in the game. All right, I have a great night.

537
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: Nora is up next. Mark. I love you, pal. I

00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: make you cry too. That's my favorite party. And Tony

541
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: is like the coolest guy to hang out. Tony is

542
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: the guy you want at every party because it's like

Speaker 2: he's been working from home. But what you guys can't see,

Speaker 2: he's been sending me audio all night long. He's been
