Ah 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: to cees we go o, the machines are getting smarter funnies. 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: Is tech talk brought to you by Skynet's correct. 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 3: Well, Mark Seltzman, how do you do? A CES? Is 5 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 3: full of new discoveries, a bunch of crap, and just 6 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 3: way too many people. I've heard how crowd it is. 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's getting back up there. You know it was 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 2: pre c Yeah, pre COVID it was I think one 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty thousand people. I think we're inching up 10 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 2: towards that. Again. It's packed and also in size two 11 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: point six million square feet of showroom floor States that's 12 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: the equivalent of about forty five football fields. So yeah, 13 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 2: it's a lot of tech in a short amount of 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: time to see. And yeah, you're right, there's some amazing stuff, 15 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: but there's also a lot of things you know will 16 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: never come out, so I mean cool, but yeah, and 17 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: also a little scary. A lot of self driving cars 18 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: whipping around the city taking people to and from the 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: different venues without a driver, and yeah, a lot of robots. 20 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: It's a fun show, but it's also a little quirky. 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: What can I say? 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: What are some highlights that you saw? I mean you 23 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: mentioned there's just an absolute metric boatload of different things 24 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: out there, But are there some that stick out for you? 25 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, there's a couple of very cool products that 26 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: I can see a lot of your listeners wanting something 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: like this. For example, the wallpaper TV from LG. It's 28 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,559 Speaker 2: only nine millimeters thin. It literally just hangs on your wall, 29 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: flush against the wall, and the only wire is the 30 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: plug for power, which you would hopefully have inside. You know, 31 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: you get tucked out away, but there's a box that 32 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: you would put somewhere else as far as forty feet 33 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: away that that's what you plug all your components into, 34 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: if you have any. It's also, yeah, so super thin, 35 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: super bright, and we seem TV's as big as one 36 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty inches from Samsung. RGB is the big 37 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: buzzword here. It's the different way of displaying colors, so 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: a lot richer colors and brighter. AI of course is everywhere. 39 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: There's this framewic art that I thought was pretty cool. 40 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: There's so basically looks like a canvas for your wall, 41 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: either fifteen inches or thirty odd inches and you walk 42 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: up to it and you use your voice to ask 43 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: what you want to see, and it uses AI to 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: create a photo for you, like you could say, show 45 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: me a field of sunflowers with going to girl running 46 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: through the fields with holy hands. And if you don't 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: like what it shows you, you can just say show 48 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: me something different or better, or change the colors, just 49 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: with your voice. And of course you can't upload your 50 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: own photos as well, like a digital photo frame. But 51 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: pretty wild. Then it's wireless. It's I've got a battery 52 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 2: that lasts a few years. They said three or four years, 53 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: which is pretty pretty amazing. Sure if artists like this idea, 54 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: but I think it's pretty cool. 55 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: What do you think I've seen? I think what I 56 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: the version I saw was an image of van Go Becau. 57 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: It's funny that you mentioned some flowers, but it's an 58 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: image of van Go and then he's speaking to you. 59 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: M I didn't see that. No, that's cool. Maybe it's 60 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: another product. I mean, AI is everywhere here right until 61 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 2: inside of glasses, wearable devices that are recording your conversations 62 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: all day and gives you submarines and reminders and to 63 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: do list if you want that kind of thing if 64 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: you're not worried about privacy into the TVs, even things 65 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: that may not be so sexy sexy but useful, like 66 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: if you have trouble getting into the settings of your 67 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: TV to change things. You're about to watch a FIFA 68 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: World Cup being you want to go into sports mode, 69 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: you don't know how to do it. You could just 70 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: ask your TV go into sports mode or improve rightness 71 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: just by talking to your TV. Right, that's pretty wild. 72 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 2: A lot of cool laptops. I'm talking to you right 73 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: now from the Lenovo booths at the Venetian.
