1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: From the city that changes the world, peers Rose with

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: three things you need to know for.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: Rose, you got for us.

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,159
Speaker 1: So the Offensive Management and Budget Director told I had

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: the House yesterday that the Trump administration will start firing

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: federal employees in the next one or two days because

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: of the government shutdown. We do not know specifics about

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: any of this though, like there's no specific firing plan,

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: we don't know who it's going to affect, how many people.

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: But Vice President Jade Vance confirmed shortly after in the

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: White House briefing room that layoffs would happen soon unless

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: the government reopened.

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 3: So hopefully everyone can come to.

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: An agreement and reopen the government and then we don't

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: have to do the layoff thing, because that would be terrible.

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: There are a lot of places giving discounts to federal

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: workers amid the shutdown, including BGE. BG is stepping up

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: us to support the federal workers. They are offering flexible

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: payment plans, weaving late fees, and simplifying access to assistance.

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: So they're saying effective customers won't need to show government

21
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: ID to get help. But they're saying so they can

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: get like a personalized, personalized help. So DC residents soon

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: can have one less ride sharing app to choose from.

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 3: We talked about this a while ago.

25
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Empower the ride share I've never used it, but the

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: drivers subscribed to its online platform and they set their

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: own price and they keep all.

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 3: Of the money that they earn.

29
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: But the CEO of Empower agreed in court too and

30
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: its operation in the district within two weeks.

31
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 3: So the Joshua Seer he was actually.

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: Threatened with jail time for contempt of court after being

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: ordered by the same.

34
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 3: Judge several months ago to.

35
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: Hold the service, but he maintains that his business model

36
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: is similar to like travel booking apps like Expedia, so

37
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: Empower should not have to follow the same regulations as

38
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: Uber or Lyft. But that will be shutting down on

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: the next two weeks. And if you are worried about

40
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: running out of candy on Halloween night, Eminem's has got

41
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: your back yet again. They are coming back with its

42
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: Halloween Rescue Squad this third year, so they are just

43
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: gonna swoop in and refol candy bowls for free, which

44
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: is really cool. So starting at five pm on October

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: thirty first, anyone in a Go Puff delivery zone can

46
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: call for a candy rescue and get candy delivered within

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: an hour. So make sure you have that information saved

48
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: in the back of your head just in case you

49
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: do run out of candy on Halloway night.

50
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: I'm Rose. Those are the three things you need.

51
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: To know for the day.

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: Thank you, Rose, You're welcome.

53
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: I don't think this is surprising new reports. If you

54
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 4: have like a smart speaker or use AI in your house,

55
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: those systems obviously listen to you. They're gonna start to

56
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: now advertise things that you talk about like that. I

57
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 4: think that was the natural progression, though.

58
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: You always said that was gonna happen.

59
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, So Metas announced they're gonna collect down if user

60
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 4: interactions with AI chatbots to sell targeted ads. Okay, so

61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 4: if you ask AI like how to fix your dishwasher

62
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 4: or why something's leaking, they might push you ads for

63
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 4: new dishwashers.

64
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: Okay, again that's I don't know.

65
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: It's one of those things where do I mind that

66
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 4: as much on a as it targeted to you, so

67
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: at least it's more relevant.

68
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the benefit of it.

69
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 5: I feel like if you're typing it in and actually

70
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 5: asking it, that's one thing. But if it's just listening

71
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 5: to a conversation. If I have my friends over and

72
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 5: we're getting ready and I'm like, oh, my curling irons

73
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 5: acting weird, and then I started getting curling iron things,

74
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 5: I'm going.

75
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: To freak out. Well, I mean we already. I know

76
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: they've never confirmed it.

77
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 5: Prior to it, well, they've always said that they're not

78
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: doing that, and there's just absolutely no way.

79
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 4: But if I talk about beach balls by my phone

80
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: for the next five minutes, I would bet you there'll

81
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: be beach balls on Instagram and on Amazon.

82
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 2: And it happens all the time.

83
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 5: My friend was talking about something so niche when we

84
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 5: were up brunch like a month ago, and then I

85
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 5: just kept getting ads for what specifically she was talking about.

86
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 5: They had nothing to do with me, and I've never

87
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 5: talked about that thing out loud. I was like, what

88
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 5: is happening?

89
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: And they're saying there's not a lot you can do

90
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: about it. They notifying users in the coming days will

91
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 4: update the privacy policies, which.

92
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: Nobody reads anyway. Yeah, so there we go.

93
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: They also say Google's updating their Virtual Gemini Assistant for

94
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 4: your home. You'll be able to have full conversations rather

95
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: than speak specific commands.

96
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: That's what I wanted.

97
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: In example, they say you could tell them that the

98
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: dishwasher is in draining and ask how you could troubleshoot,

99
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: and then in theory, it could walk you through a

100
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: step by step.

101
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 5: I've never I'm not going to do that. I need

102
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 5: to like read it and see it.

103
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

104
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: There's also scary too, because there's something early this week

105
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 4: that like a third of the chat GPT answers for

106
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 4: things are wrong because it's like you just trust in

107
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: that system, so it's not really verifiable.

108
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 5: But even like yessterday, I was trying to find something

109
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 5: that I knew for a fact was a real thing,

110
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 5: and it kept telling me it did not exist.

111
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: Like what are we looking for?

112
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 5: It was something to do with uh, I can't I

113
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 5: can't remember exactly.

114
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: Like how stuff.

115
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 5: No, I even did it today, and it said.

116
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: That wasn't real like a product or like a movie. Dude.

117
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 5: Oh, it was someone that was in a book together,

118
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 5: and I was like looking for something. So I was

119
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 5: just I didn't want to finish the book, so I

120
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 5: want to see what they got together. And it said

121
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 5: that they were not to that that that did not

122
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 5: exist when it's very well No, it said that it's

123
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: a really it's a well known book.

124
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 2: Harry Potter done.

125
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 3: No no internsh in your morning show. That was true

126
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: And iHeartRadio
