1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: Else by the government is off China US trade war 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: affecting the market. 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 2: Hi, i am Christine Home the United States Secretary of 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,239 Speaker 2: Homeland Security. It is TSA's top priority to make sure 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 2: that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience 6 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 2: as possible while we keep you safe. However, Democrats in 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 2: Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: many of our operations are impacted and most of our 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: TSA employees are working without pay. We will continue to 10 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: do all that we can to avoid delays that will 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: impact your travel, and our hope is that Democrats will 12 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 2: soon recognize the importance of opening the government. 13 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: What are you doing, Democrats? Okay, if you're traveling through 14 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: MSP anytime soon, you will not be hearing or seeing 15 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: that video from the Homeland Security Secretary. 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: That's right. 17 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: Metropolitan Airport Commission spokesperson Jeff Lee told Fox nine yesterday 18 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: they did receive a request to allow the TSA to 19 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: air the US Department of Homeland Security video on display 20 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: monitors within the security screening areas at the MSP, but 21 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: in typical Minnesota fashion, TSA is not to airing the 22 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: video while the MAAC, the Metropolitan Airport's Commission is evaluating 23 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: their request. Under the applicable legal requirements TSA workers do 24 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: remain on the job during the shutdown. They're doing it 25 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: without pay. I mean, you know often what ends up 26 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: happening is you get retroactive pay. Still not fun though. 27 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: MSP is one of several across the country not playing 28 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: the thirty seven second video. Other airports include Vegas, Phoenix, Seattle, Portland, Charlotte, Cleveland. 29 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: Three airports in New York are also not showing the video. 30 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: We'll talk more about the shutdown. This was a bit 31 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: of an update from what we discussed yesterday on the show. 32 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: Representative Tom Emmer will be on just after eight o'clock 33 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: this morning.

To vite Gartzenstein Ross talking to AI 39 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: just after six thirty this morning. Any questions that you 40 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: might have artificial intelligence related you can get those in 41 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: now via the iHeartRadio app. I actually had to consult well, 42 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: I didn't have to. 43 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: I just did. 44 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: I consulted our ai overlords a moment ago with something 45 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: that I want to share with you. Coming up in 46 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: the first couple of segments on the show, we have 47 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: audio from Tim Walls saying that President Donald Trump is 48 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: a horrible businessman. 49 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 3: I'm not even I'm ready to get beat. I'm not 50 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 3: even joking. 51 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: This is in the middle of him complaining about soybean purchases, 52 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: which I also find equally amusing. We'll talk about that 53 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: just after seven o'clock this morning, and we have a 54 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: lot of audio to share from yesterday's voter fraud hearing 55 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: at the Capitol that some lunatic dfellers decided to go 56 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: and turn into a gun reform hearing. The verbal gymnastics 57 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: by Representative Emma Greenman yesterday were truly wonderful to witness 58 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: live as I watched this voter fraud hearing taking place, 59 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: and she attempted this word play to spin this over 60 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: to how they shouldn't be talking about voter reform, they 61 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: should actually be talking about gun reform, even though this 62 00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: was specifically and only a voter fraud and reform potential hearing. 63 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: So we'll get into that. Right around seven thirty on 64 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: Twin City's News Talk, an interesting thing happened with Kyle yesterday. 65 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: This is why I had to console to AI. I'll 66 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: share this with you in just a moment, really quick though. 67 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 1: Also an update from yesterday, along with the TSA Christy 68 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: Nomean announcement, President Donald Trump, as we reported, did posthumously 69 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: award America's highest civilian honor to Charlie Kirk yesterday. The 70 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 1: ceremony coincided with what would have been Kirk's thirty second birthday. 71 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: It came just a month after the Turning Point USA 72 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: founder was, of course, assassinated while speaking to the crowd 73 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: at the Utah Valley University. In a sign of Kirk's 74 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: of close ties to the administration, he was the first 75 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in Trump's second term. 76 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: Speaking of Trump's killing, Trump said he was assassinated in 77 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: the prime of his life for boldly speaking the truth, 78 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: for living his faith, and relentless fighting for a better 79 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: and stronger America. Yesterday, I also reported that there was 80 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: this counter I'm gonna say counter because it's not even 81 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: involved with this, but there was this protest event taking 82 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: place on the University of Minnesota, the flyers going around 83 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: attempting to paint Charlie Kirk is a white supremacist. I 84 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: watched video footage of the event yesterday. Yeah, it was 85 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: as paltry as it was pathetic. Maybe half a dozen people, 86 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: including the individuals who were conducting the event and protests, 87 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: standing there with their bull horn spouting ridiculous lies and nonsense. 88 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: So I pointed at my screen, I laughed, and I 89 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: moved on. So yesterday, I'm not gonna say where. And 90 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: I was hesitant to go and bring this up, but 91 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm curious to get your thoughts on it. So my 92 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: youngest Kyle, was looking to get a job. He's going 93 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: to to technical school, but he's taking kind of a 94 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,559 Speaker 1: year off of college work while he kind of figures 95 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: out what he wants to do for a career. So 96 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: he's just it's got to go get a job. It's 97 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: the rules of the house. So he went and had 98 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: an interview yesterday. I'm not going to say where. One 99 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: of the questions though, apparently what was and I and 100 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: I my understanding is that he had like a separate, 101 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: a separate application he had to fill out there. But 102 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: one of the job interview questions was our low income 103 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: people more likely to steal? And you had the option 104 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: of yes, no, or undecided. Now, at first I was 105 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: very confused by this. Why would It's a retail establishment, 106 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: so I'll add that, I'll add this to it, So 107 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: why would they be asking this question? And then I 108 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, in a very relatively short period time, 109 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: I went, oh, this is probably the reason why, and 110 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: I'll give you my take coming up in just a 111 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: moment here on Twin Cities News Talk. I also went 112 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: and asked our AI overlords what they thought about this, 113 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: and they gave a rather pointed response that I will 114 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: share with you ahead of the conversation that we have 115 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: with our AI analyst of Vid Gartenstein Ross coming up. 116 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: But I'd love to get your thoughts as well. Again, 117 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: the question was it was yes, no, or or you know, 118 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: don't want to answer undecided? Our low income people more 119 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: likely to steal on a job application. I'm kind of 120 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: thinking you shouldn't even be allowed to ask that question. 121 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: AI kind of agrees with me as well. Email me 122 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: Justice at iHeartRadio dot com. As I mentioned, we will 123 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: get to your talkback. Soles are brought to you by 124 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: Lynn Dahl Realty throughout the show from the iHeart Radio Apple. 125 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: Do all of that next right here on Twin Cities 126 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: News Talk. 127 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 4: Good morning, and I love your show. 128 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 5: Good morning, John Rich here. So your question was, is 129 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 5: a low income people want to steal? 130 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: Well, you're applying for a low income job. 131 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 5: So they're seeing what your integrity is probably and the 132 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 5: answer should say no or undecided, because otherwise stealing is 133 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 5: a thought that you have in your mind and they 134 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 5: may not trust you. 135 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: So I had this interesting take. Thank you for that, Rich. 136 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: A few more comments we'll get to you from the 137 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app here and just a moment on Twin Cities 138 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: News Talk, John Justice broadcasting from the six to five 139 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: to one Carpet Next Day Install Studios. Devin is in 140 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: the master control booth this morning. I had another rough 141 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: night trying to fall asleep last night. I'm completely I'm 142 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: off my game, my sleep game right now. Unfortunately, need 143 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: to get my Mini leaf night gummies. 144 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 3: So my youngest is applying for a job. 145 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: It actually well listen, technically speaking, it's low income but 146 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: actually pays. I was kind of shocked how well it paid. 147 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: Retail I won't say where. I struggled on whether or 148 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: not I wanted to give a hint, but I'm a hint, 149 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna let it go because I don't know 150 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: if this question is particular for this but this if 151 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: this is exclusive to this company, or if other places 152 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: go and put this question on job interview applications as well. 153 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: But the question was on the job interview application. Are 154 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: low income people more likely to steal? Do you believe 155 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: that low income people are more likely to steal? And 156 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: he was yes, No one decided, And you know, Kyle 157 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: saw that and he was like, uh, well, which way 158 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: I want to go on this? And he just went undecided. 159 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: I imagine most people went undecided. I'll tell you why 160 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: I think they're asking that question. It's different than Rich's 161 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: take relating to the individual who's applying and whether or 162 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: not they would steal. Let's get to a few more 163 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: of your thoughts though, before I share mine. 164 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 6: Good morning, John Kevin Pione. My response would be people 165 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 6: of low moral character are more likely to steal. People 166 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 6: of low moral character are also most more likely to 167 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 6: be lower income, So I would have to answer that honestly, yes, 168 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 6: but not because they are lower income. 169 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if they gave that much space on 170 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: the application. 171 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 7: John, Statistically, low income socioeconomic group. 172 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 4: Is far more likely to commit crimes. 173 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 3: What does that mean it's only lowly come people commit crimes? No, right, 174 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 3: not at. 175 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 7: All, but that is statistically what the data would tell you. 176 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 3: Okay, let's go here, good morning. All right, low income 177 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: people more apt to steal. I don't know, let's ask 178 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 3: when on a writer. Wow, that was. 179 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: As it was a deep it's a deep reference for 180 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: Wenoda Ryder. 181 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: Listen. 182 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,119 Speaker 1: My thought on why they asked the question was because 183 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: you're applying for a retail job in which you're working 184 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: with the public, and my guests is that they are 185 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: curious whether or not the person they are hiring would 186 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: be profiling individuals as they come into the store who 187 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: may look to be low income, or if they would 188 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: maybe by extension. If you have that view of low 189 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: income people, then you would be less inclined to offer 190 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: good customer service. I asked our AI overlords, and they 191 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: just straight up said, this is an inappropriate and bias 192 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: question and a hiring manager should not ask it during 193 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: an interview. There is no basis to assume a person's 194 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: integrity based on their income level. A potential employer who 195 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: asks this is likely trying to provoke a reaction testing 196 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: your ethical boundaries. I need to do a little bit 197 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: more digging. I did before the show started, but I 198 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: couldn't find an answer because I was wondering if this 199 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: was something that Minnesota put in place, like this was 200 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: a question that the DFL decided when they had the 201 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: trifecta that they needed to include on all job applications 202 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: because of wokeness equity. 203 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 8: You name it, John, I just asked our AI overlords 204 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 8: who was most likely to fraud in Minnesota. I responded 205 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 8: back to me, it is impossible to determine any specific 206 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 8: demographic that is most likely to commit this fraud. I 207 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 8: tend to disagree with that. I think we know, but 208 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 8: AI is being a little bit too. 209 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 3: Pc Well, that assessment might be true. 210 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: I also think the AI is drawing from the news stories, 211 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: and it depends on where they're compiling their reference points from, 212 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: in which case, based off of the majority of stories 213 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: relating to fraud, I'm not surprised that the AI overlords 214 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: would come up with that answer. 215 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 4: Good morning, John. 216 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 9: I would have left that question blank with an explanation 217 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 9: of I left this question blank because it has zero 218 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 9: bearings on my work ethic or my moral conduct. 219 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: I think Kyle took the right route in not answering 220 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: the question at all. I'll do a little bit more digging. 221 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: I have a suspicion that this is something that's required 222 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: on but again, I'm kind of surprised that we haven't 223 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: had individuals leaving talkbacks who have also experienced that on 224 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: job applications, unless many people just haven't gone out to 225 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: get a job as of late. Let me share this 226 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: quick one with you, just sort of off to the 227 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: side heading into this Weekend's actually know what I'm gonna 228 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: hold off on this. 229 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 3: I have a story out of Fox News. 230 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: Wisconsin where a Wisconsin County Democrat Party, a particular group 231 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: is handing out child bracelet to asking the question is 232 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: he dead yet? My assumption is we're getting a bit 233 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: of a preview relating to the upcoming no Kings protests 234 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: that'll be taking place this weekend. So I'm gonna hold 235 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: off on this though, because there's further commentary that I 236 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: want to be able to provide to that particular story 237 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: that we won't have a time to get into as 238 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: we prepare to talk with Devine Gartzenstein Ross, our artificial 239 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: intelligence analyst and expert. 240 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 3: A couple of. 241 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: Stories we'll be talking about with Devine local restaurant's using 242 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: robots now and AI to improve their bottom line straight 243 00:14:54,440 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: out of science fiction television shows and movies, robotic helpers 244 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: showing up in the dining room.

I would think most individuals 311 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: would just go and answer undecided. I'm also AI related. 312 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,479 Speaker 1: Just to add one little extra nugget in here, I'm 313 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: kind of surprised that AI hasn't taken over unless I've 314 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: missed it hasn't taken over like the job at interview 315 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: process that seems to me tailor made for artificial intelligence 316 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: at this point. 317 00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 3: But I'll hand it over to you if you have 318 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 3: you for their thoughts to be. 319 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 12: I definitely don't think AI should take over the job 320 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 12: interview process, right. A part of a job interview for 321 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 12: anybody who's going to actually have to work with another 322 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 12: human being is to read their body language, their eye contact, 323 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 12: their pauses, the connection that you feel. 324 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 4: I think that semi structured interviews. 325 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 12: Are way better than completely structured interviews, in other words, 326 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 12: to have a few moments where you go a little 327 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 12: bit off script. I definitely wouldn't outsource this to AI, 328 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 12: at least not quite yet. 329 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: How long, well, that was my next question, how long 330 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: until AI is going to be able to interpret all 331 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: of those things that you mentioned better than a human? 332 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I would imagine that AI would have the 333 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: capability to analyze in great detail the very you know, 334 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: the very different metrics that you said a human currently 335 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: has better job of doing. 336 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 12: I agree with that, except that a lot of it's 337 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 12: going to be so. 338 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 4: One thing that AI is very good at right now 339 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 4: is personality tests, and there are personality. 340 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 12: Tests that we can use that will get at the 341 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 12: question of an organizational psychology terms, how well will someone 342 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 12: be a fit on a team? 343 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 4: How good a fit will someone be on a team? 344 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 12: Okay, that's the AI is good at, and that should 345 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 12: be outsourced to AI. I think that a lot of 346 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 12: what we're talking about, like you're fit with somebody, how 347 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 12: you feel about them within your particular team. If you're 348 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 12: good at it, you know, there's it's a individualized and 349 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 12: b there's a lot that comes through intuition that isn't 350 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 12: straight pattern recognition. Anyway, my answer is, I guess this 351 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 12: would be a little bit surprising. Probably do people do 352 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 12: a good job in general on interviewing and determining who 353 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 12: they want to work with? 354 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 4: I think the answer is probably no. 355 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 12: Like based on my experience, I think most people I 356 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 12: talk to are very used to working on teams that 357 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 12: they don't regard. 358 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 4: As good teams. So it may well be the case. 359 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 12: That AI is already better than the average human being 360 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 12: at job interview questions. All I'll say is that for me, 361 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 12: I would not outsource this to AI. I think I'm 362 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 12: good at building teams, and I don't think AI is 363 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 12: as effective as someone who's good at building teams. Final 364 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 12: thing is that, as you know, like AI isn't I'm 365 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 12: not going to say it's not great at interpreting video. 366 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 12: At the very least, it is expensive for AI to 367 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 12: interpret video. So you can't just like upload a video 368 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 12: to chat GPT and say, hey, watch this video like 369 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 12: it doesn't do it yet. Until AI can cost effectively 370 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 12: interpret video feeds, it's not going to be a great 371 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 12: interviewer of job candidates because to me, verbal, nonverbal's, body language, 372 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 12: eye contact, these are all an important part of assessica candidate. 373 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: Talking with Davite gartan Stein Rossi's the CEO at Expert 374 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: Theory and our AI analyst and expert. Before I get 375 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: into a few of the stories that I have chosen today, 376 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: let's go to the iHeartRadio app talkback and a question 377 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: for you this morning. 378 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 7: De Vid, Hey John, I've got a question for dgr 379 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 7: With the upcoming wave of AI implementation, I see it 380 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 7: as eliminating a mass amount of data entry and analysis jobs, 381 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 7: largely like counstable, pay roll banking, stuff like that. And 382 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 7: my gut tells me those jobs are going to reappear 383 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 7: in the construction industry and industry that is severely lacking 384 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 7: in people right now. 385 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: Interesting I wasn't aware of. That's the second part your thoughts, David. 386 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 4: It's really interesting observation. I think that a lot of. 387 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 12: I think the answer is yes would be the bottom line. 388 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 12: But the transferability of someone from a data entry job 389 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 12: to a construction job isn't automatic. You know, I I 390 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 12: worked construction jobs earlier in my career. It's actually interesting 391 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 12: how few people like by white collar, by white collar 392 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 12: world have worked construction jobs, which I think, like you 393 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 12: learn a lot, and you know, there's a lot of 394 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 12: people who wouldn't transfer well to a construction job. But 395 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 12: that being said, I think the caller is. 396 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 3: Right, do you have a do you have a thought? 397 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 8: Or well? 398 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: Always asked the question right now when it comes to robots, 399 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: just be specific. Elon Musk likes to go and tout 400 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: his his his robots, you know, on occasion, most recently, 401 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: the thing that pops into my head would be like 402 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: the premiere for tron Areas that came out and there 403 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: was a couple of the robots that were out there 404 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: and they were painted like the film and all of this. 405 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 3: You know, how long until you think. 406 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: That that technology has advanced to the point with AI 407 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: implementation where AI robots end up impacting something like construction jobs. 408 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: Are we a decade out less than that you have 409 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: any gauge an engage at all. 410 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 4: Devide, I think it's really hard to say job right. 411 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 12: Everything's moving so much more quickly and a lot of 412 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 12: the barriers that we have to implementation are going away. 413 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 12: So I think that anywhere where we're short staffed in 414 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 12: terms of labor, people will be looking for potential jobs. 415 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 12: There's a lot that robots could do really well within construction. 416 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: Well, and we've seen their usage on you know, when 417 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: it comes to on a smaller scale without AI relating 418 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: to you know, bomb squads and things of that nature. 419 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: So I like the idea though, as you mentioned, and 420 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: it seems to be a constant theme in our weekly 421 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: discussions of AI's implementation into places where we're currently lacking 422 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: individuals to go and do those particular positions. And I 423 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: just like it from the standpoint of it kind of 424 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: strips away the duman gloom talk that you hear from 425 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: so many other sectors about AI coming in and wiping 426 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: out jobs when the reality is they're really going to 427 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: be filling in some gaps at least for the time being. 428 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's a good segue to an article that you 429 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 12: want to talk about, right the article about Open Hot 430 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 12: Pot in Saint Paul. 431 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 3: I'm looking at it right now. 432 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 12: Yeah, that's exactly what this article made me think of, John. 433 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 12: This is article about the Open Hot Pot restaurant in 434 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 12: Brooklyn Park. You know, it's been in business for thirty 435 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 12: years and as struggling as a lot of restaurants are 436 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 12: right now, and in response introduced some robots to robots 437 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 12: into the dining room. It's in all you can eat place, 438 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 12: and the robots will help diners carry plates of food 439 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 12: back to their tables. They you know, they're also something 440 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 12: that's there to prove efficiency. And you know the part 441 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 12: of the articles talking about this Saint Paul based company, 442 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 12: Eco Lab that's using artificial intelligence and data to help 443 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 12: restaurants reduce food waste, track sales operate more efficiently. 444 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 4: And this is the other side. 445 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 12: Right, We've talked a lot about the job side, and 446 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 12: one thing I've observed multiple times is that policymakers have systemically, 447 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 12: and you know, by deliberate choice, made human labor much 448 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 12: more expensive. This isn't a criticism, you know. I think 449 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 12: that that there are criticisms one can one can make, 450 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 12: but I'm not making it directly. I'm just saying that 451 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 12: one of the like when someone gains money, someone else 452 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 12: loses money. For restaurants, like increasing salaries can could be 453 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 12: an existential threat to a restaurant. We see lots of 454 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 12: restaurants going out of business. And one of the things 455 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 12: we'll increasingly see AI as is a way to serve 456 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 12: as a stop gap when either you're short handed the 457 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 12: construction example that you're listener through in, or else when 458 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 12: costs are just too high. For example, when you have 459 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 12: a labor intensive business, the cost of human labor might 460 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 12: be too high, and robots are a really good way 461 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 12: to fill in that gap. AI has many things. There's 462 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 12: costs to it, there are dangers. We talk about the 463 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 12: dangers a lot, but it's good to look at the 464 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 12: upsides as well. And I love that article John about 465 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 12: robots helping diners. 466 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,479 Speaker 1: Well yeah, and I mean you mentioned some of what 467 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: they were doing, delivering food directly from the kitchen to 468 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: the tables and lightening the load for his servers and 469 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: freeing them to do other tasks. The owners said, they 470 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: get a free hand to do something else because we 471 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: are Because we are all you can eat. Sometimes it's 472 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: a lot of food, you know, and you cannot hold 473 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: it all in one hand. I thought it was interesting 474 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: too because the company they're working with, the Saint Paul 475 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: based Eco Lab, is combining AI and data driven innovation 476 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: to help restaurants control food waste, track sales, and operate 477 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: more efficiently and sort of keeping a more optimistic view 478 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: and observation. And I'm curious to get your thoughts that. 479 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: While we continue to see the articles written about AI 480 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: jobs in taking over human jobs, I think here presents 481 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: another example of where if this business is more successful 482 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: and they haven't let anybody go and they have the 483 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: opportunity to grow, then AI in this case would actually 484 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: be able to assist in perhaps providing even more human 485 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: jobs than they were able to have prior. So almost 486 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: the inverse would would happen using this AI technology. 487 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 3: Would you agree. 488 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. 489 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 12: This is an area where you know when you when 490 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 12: you business goes out of business, you know obviously there's 491 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 12: a net negative. 492 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 4: Negative effect on jobs. Right, there's net job loss if 493 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 4: a business can't sus state itself. And AI is really 494 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 4: good for entrepreneurs. 495 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 12: I think we'll actually see a lot more stories like 496 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 12: the one you put your finger on. And part of 497 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 12: the reason is AI use cases are now becoming mature. 498 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 12: I think almost certainly, if I were to say how 499 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,959 Speaker 12: this article came to be, there's one of two ways. 500 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 12: Either someone saw like the robot helpers this restaurant and 501 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 12: jumped on it, but I think much more likely a reporter. 502 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 4: Talked to someone at Ecolab. No criticism there. 503 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 12: I run a business, I understand how you need to publicize, 504 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 12: and this really is kind of like a PR piece 505 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 12: essentially for Ecolab, is what it seems like. Again, zero 506 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 12: criticism to our friends at Ecolab, who I've never met. 507 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 12: But you'll see more of this because AI really is useful, right, 508 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 12: and it's starting to become mature enough that we're seeing 509 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 12: AI put things in place that a few years ago 510 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 12: would have been really weird for us. You know, robots 511 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 12: or AI changing business processes and arrest and it's helpful 512 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 12: for the companies that are using it, whether it's the 513 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 12: restaurant or eco lab as a provider. So you'll see 514 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 12: a lot more of these AI has dangers. AI is 515 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 12: really useful and overall, like I think, what we all 516 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 12: understand is AI isn't going anywhere. It's here to stay, 517 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 12: and the transformations that it brings are just going to escalate. 518 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 12: So while there'll be some ludeaie pieces that are arguing, 519 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 12: wouldn't the world be better if we didn't have AI, 520 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 12: totally legit just like the world could be better if 521 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 12: we didn't have social media, but that's just not the 522 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 12: world that we live in. So you'll see a lot 523 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 12: more I think about these really interesting use cases that 524 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 12: make you say, huh, you know, I'm glad this is here. 525 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: Well, And an interesting just sidebar data point and something 526 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 1: I'm going to be talking about next hour on a 527 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: separate issue of some studies that have been done. You know, 528 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: some of the data is showing that actual social media 529 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: usage among young Americans is actually declining. Again, just sort 530 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: of a side note, which is surprising, lending it and 531 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: attaching to the conversation we had of the doom and 532 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: gloom aspect of AI that gets reported so often. 533 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 3: The same thing rings true for social. 534 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: Media, but there also is it appears to be somewhat 535 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: of a decline, and I think a lot of it 536 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: comes down to people are more educated now on just 537 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: how addictive you know, social media can be, and perhaps 538 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: are adjusting themselves accordingly. I know we are in our house, 539 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: just by an example, trying to spend more time away 540 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: from our phones and you know, less time face to 541 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: face with each other. 542 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 6: Yeah. 543 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 12: I think the fact that the people who run tech 544 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 12: companies and social media companies really restrict their own kids' 545 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 12: usage that their product tells us something. 546 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a talk back that rolls in. I 547 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: want to share it with you. Is more of a 548 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: comment relating to AI and construction Before I get to that, though, 549 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: just a quick question that popped up in the middle 550 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: of your last comments. Prior to AI, the conversation revolving 551 00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: around jobs and potential job loss was focused on automation 552 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: without the AI component attached to it. Has AI had 553 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: a massive impact on automation in and of itself? 554 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 3: Wherein the two are combined? Has it? Has it changed 555 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 3: relative to that because we. 556 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: Talk more about AI now in jobs more than we 557 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: do automation in jobs. Are we just replacing one for 558 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: the other, or what changes have been made? Like if 559 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: it was there was no AI and we were still 560 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: looking at automation, I would imagine we'd still be having 561 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: a conversation about automation replacing humans in the future. 562 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 4: I think we've changed our vocabulary a bit, right. 563 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 12: Automation needs to be for blue collar whereas what we 564 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 12: call AI to some extent is automation for white collar jobs. 565 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 4: Oh okay, But like these days, for. 566 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 12: Any kind of automation, AI is going to be a 567 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 12: part of it. For any new automation built like, it's 568 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 12: inherently going to incorporate AI. So I'm agreeing with you. 569 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 12: I think that we use the two a little bit interchangeably, 570 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 12: as we should, because ultimately AI automates a lot of 571 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 12: things that humans used to do, including writing, including you know, 572 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 12: potentially job interviews, et cetera. 573 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 13: So you got to talk to the guys, yeah, AI 574 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 13: and construction is sort of already there, at least when 575 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 13: it comes to framing. There don't do a whole lot 576 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 13: of stick framing anymore. All the walls, floors, sometimes staircases 577 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 13: are all built in a factory and shift assemble to 578 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 13: the site. 579 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 4: You're just putting a puzzle together. 580 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 13: I'm sure they're going to have some robot that can 581 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 13: put the puzzle together pretty darn soon. 582 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. 583 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: I was kind of expecting somebody to chime in from 584 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: the construction industry to give us an example like that DVID. 585 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a great it's a great contribution, and I 586 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 12: think it's it's obviously not inconsistent with what we were saying, 587 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 12: like really we're looking at the question specifically of robots 588 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 12: being there on site to fill in for some human labor. 589 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 12: But a thanks to the listener for that color really 590 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 12: helpful and be it's exactly what I would expect. 591 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,479 Speaker 1: Let's wrap on this and we'll just keep with the theme. 592 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: Another article that I sent you there was this Hollywood 593 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: power broker, essentially Army a manual talent agent, sports tycoon. 594 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: He was talking about AI He's got investors into a 595 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: new venture wherein he is in various leisure activity, sports 596 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: and whatnot, and he says the world could be down 597 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: to four day work weeks in the coming years. He 598 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,959 Speaker 1: was talking with the financial times. This could go down 599 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 1: to three day work weeks with AI. As more people 600 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: use technology to expedite everyday tasks, there's going to be 601 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: more free time. This raises an interesting question though in 602 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: my mind, if that's true, where is the money going 603 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: to come from for individuals that are now working shorter 604 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: work weeks? And at least to another question, davide, you know, 605 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: how will AI impact the price of goods and services 606 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: and perhaps drop the price of goods and services wherein 607 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: salaries you know that would be less because you're not 608 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: working as much, may not be as crucial as they 609 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: used to be. 610 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 12: In my view, it will drop the price of goodsness 611 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 12: services full stop, just like just like the Internet did. 612 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 12: Right we remember after the Internet boom, the price of 613 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 12: a lot of goods and services dropped significantly. 614 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 4: I think, like the. 615 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 12: Four day, three day work week, it's certainly as possible. 616 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 12: I'm not gonna say no, but I will say we've had, 617 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 12: you know, for the past, you know, one hundred and 618 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 12: fifty years, we've seen a series of innovation after innovation 619 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 12: that has made parts of our lives more efficient, and 620 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 12: yet people work far more hours now than they did 621 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 12: one hundred years ago on average in the United States. 622 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 12: So like not saying it's wrong, I just think that 623 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 12: data thus far seems to contradict the view that will 624 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 12: end up with more leisure time. But you can you 625 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 12: can imagine a world where that's the case. It wouldn't 626 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 12: be a bad world for us to have. 627 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 4: On the whole. 628 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 12: I think there'd be you know, there'd be a lot 629 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 12: of folks like myself who would still put that time 630 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 12: in and work. 631 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 4: But it's possible that we'd have less. 632 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 12: I guess against it though, And here's the final reason 633 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 12: why there's a good note to end on. We talk 634 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 12: a lot about what is the value of a human 635 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 12: being in a world of super intelligence? What is the 636 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 12: value of our labor in a world of AI? And 637 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 12: to be really excellent at something and to be better 638 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 12: than our AI overlords, that takes time, right, Like you 639 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 12: actually have to put in time to outperform perform artificial intelligence. 640 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 12: So I think that like, if we're thinking about, hey, 641 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 12: we can work a four day work week, we could 642 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 12: work a three day work week. That works for someone 643 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 12: who is very highly skilled and has those skills already. 644 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 4: Given how disruptive AI is, we're going to have to. 645 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 12: You know, most people are going to have to spend 646 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 12: a lot of time reskilling. I don't think that translates 647 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 12: into a three or four day workweek. I think probably 648 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 12: that view is way too optimistic and looks at our 649 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 12: time being the value as opposed to our skills being 650 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 12: the value. Because if our skills are the value, skills 651 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 12: that can outcompete artificial intelligence take time, and so I 652 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 12: don't think that AI is going to on the whole 653 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,839 Speaker 12: provide us with the respite that that mogul is hoping for. 654 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 1: David Gartenstein Ross is CEO at Expert Theory.

I bring this up because we're going 681 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: to get into this Minnesota House fraud committee that took 682 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: place yesterday wherein one dfl or decided to turn what 683 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: was specific about voting and to make it about guns, 684 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: which was completely irrelevant.
