1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Let's take it a good morning now to the host 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: of Rich on Tech on KFI. It's KTLAS Tech reporter 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: Rich de Mirror Morning. 4 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 2: Rich, Good morning to you, Amy. 5 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: Okay, I want to start out with the mirror story. 6 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: It's last on your list, but it's first on mine. 7 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: We've got a mirror that can tell you a lot 8 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: more than you know what. 9 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 2: You look like. Yeah, I have a bone to pick 10 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: with this mirror because I'll try it out at CES. 11 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: It's from Neurologics. It's called the Longevity Mirror, and it 12 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: basically scans your face for about thirty seconds to estimate 13 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 2: your health and aging metrics all related to your long 14 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 2: term wellness. So that's the whole thing. So what it's 15 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: doing is and I've heard this before with other they 16 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: even had an app that came out and did this, 17 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 2: But basically it's looking at the blood flow in your 18 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: face and these AI models kind of figure out like, okay, 19 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 2: based on that, how healthy are you? So it looks 20 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: at all this stuff, and you know, I'll be honest, 21 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: I was a little disappointed with the results. I think 22 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: I was too tired from a night in Vegas for 23 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: my results. But nine dollars for this mirror, and you know, 24 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: it could be one of those things where you wake 25 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: up in the morning and just kind of give it 26 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: a quick It's very sci fi. You know, you check 27 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 2: your health in the morning when you wake up. 28 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: So note to self, never look in front of the 29 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: mirror when you've been partying in Vegas. I could see 30 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: where you're there like going, uh, yeah, you're eighty five 31 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: and you're gonna die tomorrow. 32 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, anyone who's been to Vegas, that's how 33 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: you feel, right. I mean, don't put these mirrors in 34 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: Vegas hotel rooms. Whatever you do. You got to put 35 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: them in spots, you know, and be like, oh, yes, 36 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: you're gonna live forever. Okay. 37 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: One question though about it, because you said it looks 38 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: at your face, measures blood flow. So do you look 39 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: at it daily? Are you supposed to? And it tells you, hey, 40 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: you should get more water today or you should run 41 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: more today. I mean, does it give advice or does 42 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: it just say, eh, yeah, your heart's still beaten. 43 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: You know. It did give a little bit of advice 44 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: about what it was measuring and maybe ways to help, 45 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: but that was not a large part of it. It was 46 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: just a lot of numbers on the screen. I mean 47 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: it did things like cardiovascular, metabolic, health, stress, sleep, those 48 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: were like the main ones. So it had like a 49 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: lot of numbers on the screen. A lot of them 50 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: were like color coded, whether it was like green, orange, 51 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: or yellow. So I think it's like a lot of 52 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: data and what you do with that is kind of 53 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: up to you. But obviously this will probably go into 54 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: an app as well, so that you can take these 55 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: readings over time and see if you're improving them. 56 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about TVs and apparently it's a big 57 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: moment for the TV industry. 58 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: Why is that? I thought this was a huge story. Basically, 59 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: Sony is handing its TV business over to TCL. TCL 60 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: upstart in the industry from China. Sony obviously one of 61 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: the biggest TV makers in the world out of Japan. 62 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: But they're saying, you know what, things have changed. It's 63 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: getting tougher and tougher for us to compete, especially on price, 64 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 2: and so Sony is going to bring all their expertise 65 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 2: and picture and audio quality. TCL is going to bring 66 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 2: all of their expertise in sort of make things very affordable, 67 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 2: and all their manufacturing and they're gonna bring them together, 68 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: and the TVs are going to have the Bravian name, 69 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 2: but they're gonna be made by TCL. So kind of 70 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: an end of an era which you know, growing up 71 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 2: with the Trinitrons of the world and all the Sony 72 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: names that were like so high end, you know, not 73 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: TCL is gonna make them. That's just wild to me. 74 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: All right. Uh, the latest platform to add ads. 75 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: Is chat GBT. Here they come. We knew this was 76 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 2: gonna happen. As I say on my radio show, the 77 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: free ride is over. We used We used chat GBT 78 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: for what three years now without ads, And yes, there 79 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: will be ads now at the bottom of your chat window. 80 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: Tests will start in the next couple of weeks. They're 81 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: gonna appear at the bottom of answers, clearly labeled, and 82 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: they're gonna be very separate from the actual AI response. 83 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: So CHATCHABT says, the ads will not influence the answers. 84 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: You know how when you search Google at the top, 85 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: everything's an ad. So CHATCHYBT says they're not going to 86 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 2: do that. They're making the ads at the bottom where 87 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: they will be there, but they will be kind of 88 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: separate from your answer. And we'll see how long. And 89 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: they also added a new plan, by the way chatchybt Go, 90 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 2: which is eight dollars a month instead of the standard twenty, 91 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 2: which gives you more usage of chatchybt, but it does 92 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: not get rid of the ads as far as I 93 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 2: can tell. 94 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: Okay, this is kind of interesting. Spotify is working on 95 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: a smart book feature. 96 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 2: Okay, I thought this was brilliant. Now this is a 97 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 2: rumor right now. They have not announced this, but Android 98 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: Authority went into the app and kind of found this 99 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: new feature before Spotify announced it. It's called page match, 100 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: and I just thought this was brilliant because let's say 101 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: you like to commute and listen to a book in 102 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: your car, but then you want to get back to 103 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: your you know, before you go to sleep and read 104 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: that same book. Well, now you can take a picture 105 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: of the the page that you're on and Spotify will 106 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 2: jump to that exact spot in the audio book. 107 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: Wow. Oh okay, so you're not like thumbing through and 108 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: going where was it? Because who counts pages? 109 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: You put a bookmark in there, right, So I thought 110 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: that was kind of interesting. We'll see what happens with 111 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: this if it actually comes out, But you know. To me, 112 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: what I do is I will listen to a different 113 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: book than I read, so I actually have two going 114 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: at the same time. 115 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: That's because you have a big brain. 116 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: Ridge to Miro, I don't know. It feels like it's 117 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: getting smaller every day. 118 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: Go look in the mirror and have it tell you. 119 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, let me see mirror, mirror on the wall. Is 120 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: my brain getting bigger or smaller? Probably smaller? It's shrinking. 121 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: Rich Hey, you know what one thing I wanted to 122 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: just mention really quick. We've talked several times about this 123 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: new iOS update and how it's got the clear icons 124 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: or whatever they are. The apps you know, are translucent 125 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: ery whatever. I've got that now it did. It did 126 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: the automatic update because we've talked about it for like 127 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: a long time ago, and you're like, don't download it yet, 128 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: wait till they push it out. And they did, and 129 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: I've got it, and I don't know that I love it. 130 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: Well. I get emails from a lot of people saying 131 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: that they don't like it. How do I go back? 132 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: Number one, Apple does not you go back once you 133 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 2: go forward. There is no easy way to change the 134 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: software back on my iPhone. That's just the bottom line, 135 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: you have to get used to it if you don't 136 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 2: like all this all the liquid glass effects. There is 137 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: one setting you can change under display brightness, and there's 138 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 2: one called tinted, and so you can do that versus 139 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: the clear and so you know, I think I leave 140 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: that on for me. 141 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fine. It's just you know, they make changes 142 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: and then everything's just a little bit different. Your email's 143 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: a little bit different, your photos are a little bit different. 144 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: So I get used to it. 145 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,559 Speaker 2: It takes some getting used to for sure. 146 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: All right, Well, you can find out more about all 147 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: of these lovely things that we were just talking about, 148 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: and a whole lot more when you listen to Rich 149 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: on Tech.
