My top artist was Summer Walker. 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:37.640 That is fitting. 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:39.880 Can you guess who my number two artist is? 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.400 Is it the Dream?

He's kind of up and coming, and 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.879 he's from the lou Saint Louis is it. 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:53.479 Saint Louis Is? 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:54.160 That's what it's called. 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.280 Saint Louis. No, no, not everything is French. As a 0:00:58.560 --> 0:00:59.800 kid doesn't know what the word is. 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:04.680 Get to a friend, I know it's Saint Louis, I'm 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.480 T T and I'm Zakiah and from Spotify Studios. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:26.000 This is dope laps.

My 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.800 number two artists was the best Baby, of course. I 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.039 don't think anybody was able to guess my number three artists. 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.680 It was the Testy Brothers. Have you heard of them? No, 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:44.280 it's a group. They are very soulful, okay, But number 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:49.680 four was DJ Mustard I loved perfect. Ten was Fire. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.240 I don't know anybody says, don't at me, don't at me, 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.680 don't at me. I don't give on the beat, that's right. 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.600 And then my number five was T Grizzly. Yes, you 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:58.600 know I love T Grizzy. 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.440 I love T Grizzly whenever I'm. 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.200 Feeling down, no effort, come on now. 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.120 So we have some top songs, and we also have 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:07.080 some top moments. 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:11.680 How is your twenty nineteen? Though my twenty nineteen was phenomenal, 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:16.160 twenty nineteen was very exciting for us. We launched a podcast. 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.200 Every other week in your Ear. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.160 I can't believe it, and y'all keep showing up, and 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.280 I love you for that, right, I just feel like 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.640 my internet life has grown so much. I have a 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.120 whole family from people that listen to the podcast. I 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.840 just go in there. I look at those stories. When 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:31.200 I wake up in the morning, I. 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.040 Say, oh, look at what great Price is doing. 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.520 Look at what right I'd be like, Okay, Respiration Junkie 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:37.680 is doing this new house. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.280 Do you see all those plants at her house. 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.160 She has a lot of plans. I can't even keep 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.000 my one piece lily alive, and I am very jealous. 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:44.920 That's why I haven't brought that. 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:46.360 I had started a plant for you, but I'm scared 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.320 you gonna kill It's gonna die, and so I just 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.720 keep it at my house and you can look at 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:51.560 it when you come home. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.280 I'll enjoy it. From Afar, I think it'd be really 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.359 fun if we take some of our favorite twenty nineteen 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:04.919 moments and make it into like a twenty nineteen mixtape. 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:09.280 Ooh, I love that girl. I'm ready. Let's dive in. 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.560 So we're gonna run through all of our twenty nineteen 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.119 top moments. Yeah, for each of these topics. What we're 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.560 gonna be doing is just a little mini dissection of each. 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.600 We're gonna give you the category, our favorite moment from 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.480 twenty nineteen, and just a little bit of the science 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:24.960 behind it. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:26.280 Tell them what the categories are Z. 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:31.160 All right, so drum roll please, we need a real 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:31.720 drum roll. 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.560 You're always good at that, Okay, Our twenty nineteen year 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:43.480 in review, our four categories. We're going to address our music, sports, tech, 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.560 and politics. All right, So let's jump off with music. 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.680 Some of the artists that I feel like really took 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:56.280 twenty nineteen by the horns and just sword all the 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.960 way to the top. Billie Eilish, Yes, the Baby first. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.800 He's a North Carolina native, and I think the Baby 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.080 will replace Pete Pablo Lil. 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:10.480 Nasax definitely took advantage of his superstardom and took that 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.000 all the way to the top. You know, I think 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.839 Summer Walker, oh my gosh, yes, Summer Walker and Ari Lennox, 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.000 they showed up and showed out absolutely well you know 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.520 who we haven't mentioned who. And I think it's time 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.760 for everybody to gather around the campfire because it's time 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.560 to salute our new queen. Mmmm yeah. 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.640 Probably thought I was gonna say Lizzo, but I'm gonna 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:37.120 say Megan thee Stallion. You show me anybody else who 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:42.279 can say, yes, I'm a woman, but I'm a male horse. Okay, yes, 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.880 I'm a woman. I'm a male horse, and I run 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.960 the gammuck she can. I was like, is this Pepsy? 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:49.640 It's Pepsy back. 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:54.200 Honestly, Megan thee Stallion is probably one of the better 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.479 rappers out right now, and she has really been taken 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.600 over all of the charts and has been taken over 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.400 the zeitgeist because of Hot Girl Summer. Yes, and Hot 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.360 Girl Summer. Everybody was talking about it. I don't care 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.839 who you were, your mama, your grandmama, your granddaddy. Everybody 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.159 was talking about Hot Girl Summer. My mom better not 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.440 be saying hot Girl Summer. But yes, everyone was talking 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.680 about Hot Girl Summer. And everybody was also talking about 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:29.480 her extraordinary ability to work. Megan thee Stallion has vibranium knees. 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.200 Yes, how old is Megan thee Stallion. 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.640 She's like twenty four. I don't think I could have 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:36.560 done that at twenty. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:37.080 Four, I don't think. 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.680 So she gets low and she stays down there and 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.280 I'm like, you, okay, sis right, somebody would have to 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:43.960 help me up. 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.120 It's amazing to me, and I thought, let's do a 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.800 little bit of science behind that, because people are not 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.080 really appreciating what Megan thee stallion is doing. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:56.680 So let's break down the art of getting low. 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.599 And I think in order to do that, we really 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:03.599 have to kind of just turn the complex twerks that 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:08.599 megane stallion does into a basic movement. Yes, the square root, oh, 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:10.920 like the square root of a twerk. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:13.320 Is a squat. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.120 Absolutely so for a squat, the major muscles that you 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:23.280 are using are your quads, your calves, and your glutes. 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.680 But there are also other ligaments and tendons that are 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.559 super important, like your IT band. 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:30.320 This is your. 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:35.279 Illeo tibial band. Okay, this ligament is right along the 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.080 thigh bone, so it extends from your knee all the 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.240 way up to your hip. It is the thickest and 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.640 longest tenon in your entire body. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.279 Basically your IT band and the muscles that are associated 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:51.279 with it help you extend, abduct, and basically rotate your hip. 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.320 It also contributes to knee stabilization. 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:55.800 And that brings us back. 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.640 To what you said, TG that meganistallion has knees of vibranium. 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.360 Yes, yes, and so I think the vibranium pieces are 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.160 her it band for sure. But there are also some 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:11.560 other parts of your knees that are very important. Right. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.600 Yes, your knee has tons of ligaments to keep it stabilized. 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:20.320 So first you have your ACL, and that's your anterior 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.960 cruciate ligament. And so I think everybody's heard of that 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.480 athletes tear the ACL all every other day. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:26.720 It's really a sad story. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.720 The MCL, that's your medial collateral ligament, and that stabilizes 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.840 the inner part of your knee, and the outer part 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.400 of your knee is stabilized by the lateral collateral ligament 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:36.360 or the LCL. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.880 Okay, so ACL in the front, MCL in the middle, 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.920 and LCL on the side, and all of those things, 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.440 those powers combined prevent you from flipping your leg backwards 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:47.040 like a cricket. 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:47.520 That's right. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.480 Keeping everything in line. Now, some of y'all at play sports, 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.400 you know you've seen a torn ACL, MCL, whatever, l 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.720 or just somebody taking a nail, and I haven't seen 0:07:58.760 --> 0:07:59.640 her take one. 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.000 That's right. So with all those things in mind, it 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.720 seems like Megan the stallion, those ligaments and tendons are 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.480 just superior to the rest of us. Really, there's no 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.800 way you can become like Megan the Stallion if you 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.640 aren't already. Now, I've seen some of you on these internets, 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:21.320 and some of you are Megan the Stallion adjacent because 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.560 of your ability to get low and stay low. I 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:24.200 am not there. 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.600 Yeah, we'll just continue reporting. Okay, we're ready to move 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:34.400 on to our next category. Next up is sports. Now, 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.560 first we got to shout out DC Sports. 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.079 Yes, that's the home team. So men Zakia live right 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.480 outside of DC in Maryland. So all those DC teams 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.120 are the home team, except for the football team because 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.400 they need to change their name. The Nationals, the Capitals, 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.800 and the Mystics, they all brought the chip home this 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:54.960 year and so we are very proud. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.200 Another proud moment in sports was a women's soccer team. 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.680 Oh my goodness, that was so funn the watch. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.280 Yes, Megan her Pino. 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:06.719 Is a hero. Yes anything and Sports and Sports Illustrated 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.440 made her their Athlete of the Year. 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.120 I'm behind that, I can see it. 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:10.440 You know. 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.800 Team USA did their thing and they really had her. 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:15.679 She was a great leader on and off the field 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.320 this year. But the Dope Labs Athlete of the Year. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:24.640 My inner Dominique Dolls is very very proud Simone Biles. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:25.120 That's right. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.080 Simon Bows showed y'all that you ain't never done a 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:30.000 flip like that before. 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.360 You thought you was flipping, but you wasn't. You was 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:33.280 just standing still. 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.840 You don't know what power is, and I definitely don't 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.439 understand gravity or physics when it's coming. When it comes 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.560 to what she is doing. I saw her do a 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.800 flip in some jeens. Okay, sometimes I feel like my 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.560 jeens don't even cooperate when I sit down. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:47.880 Let me tell you, into my chair. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.480 I was sitting too long in a pair of jeans, 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.240 and I thought I was going to die. I couldn't 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:52.720 do a flip. 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:53.839 I couldn't believe it. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:59.200 Simone Biles has not only just obliterated the playing field 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.120 like no one is coming close to her, she also 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.280 is doing these new tricks that are being named after her. 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.400 There's the Biles and then there's the Biles two. 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.839 One wasn't even enough. I am blown away. I'm like, 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:10.480 what's next? 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.880 Right? So for this section, we're gonna be dissecting the 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.520 Biles two, which is a triple double flip. She's doing 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.000 two flips and three twists. That's how you get the 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:21.840 triple double. 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.760 So here's the biles too. She begins to jump up 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.440 defy gravity, and she begins her first twist. As she's 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.840 doing that twist to rotate around, she's completing her first flip. 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.520 Before that flip is done, she does a complete rotation again, 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.319 another three sixty degree twist. Then she completes her second 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:44.840 flip as she's twisting for the third twist, second flip, 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.960 and she lands smooth as butter perfect ten and she lands. 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.120 So it just seems so soft too. I don't know 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.800 how she does it her ankles. What are her ankles 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.640 made of the same stuff that Megan the Stallion's knees 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.040 are made out of. So the Biles two can be 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:06.280 broken down into three basic movements, a jump, a flip, 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.959 and a twist. So first you have a jump. So 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.960 we're all held to the ground by gravity, the gravitational force, 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.760 and that's called G when somebody's in space. That's why 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.520 they say zero G because there's no gravity. So in 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.120 order to just get off the ground a jump, you 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.559 have to exert enough force to cancel out the force 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.120 that is holding you down to the earth. Then as 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.400 soon as you jump, you're exerting more force up than 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.240 you are down, so you're able to get up off 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:33.560 the ground. 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.880 Okay, so to jump. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.840 High you really have to propel yourself up. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.400 So if you want to jump up and stay up, which. 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.880 Is what Simone is doing, she's practically levitating up there, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.840 you've really got to be very very strong. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.480 And then you have a flip. And the flip is 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.160 your heels coming up above your head. Yes, so when 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:54.440 we think of like a summrsault, that's. 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.720 A flip exactly. But the technique that she uses is 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.480 what's really special. When she's doing this flip, she tucks 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.400 her arm in her leg while she's in the air, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.040 and this actually makes her speed up while she's doing 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.320 the flip. What right, then you have a twist, and 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.720 the twist part, she also has another special technique that 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.840 she does where she puts one arm up and one 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:23.120 arm down and it's an angular momentum twist. So by 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:28.040 redistributing the mass, it also creates like a kind of 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.840 like a counterbalance that also makes her speed up, so 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:36.840 she's able to do the three rotations and two flips. 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.480 That is crazy. So Simone Bowles is a physicist. That's 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:42.200 what you're telling me. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:47.840 Yes, give that girl a PhD, doctor, Simone Biles. So 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.440 far we've discussed music and sports, but coming up after 0:12:50.440 --> 0:13:12.200 the break, we're gonna jump into technology and politics. And 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.840 we're back and next up in our mixtape is tech. 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:16.760 There are a lot of great things that happen. The 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.160 iPhone eleven came out. Yes, I didn't know I needed 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:20.200 three lenses, but I did. 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.640 We all did. I have three lenses Now. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:26.760 I think the technology that I've seen advancing and just 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:31.439 appearing everywhere is facial recognition software. 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:35.920 As so, absolutely it is everywhere. None of us, let 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:41.640 me repeat, none of us have not used facial recognition technology. 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.839 A lot of y'all are out there thinking that you haven't, 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.440 but you have all these filters, honestly, every single filter. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:48.640 I think that's where it started. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:49.720 Snapchat. You know. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.880 I used to say Snapchat is creepy, Snapchat is crazy, 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.920 And before I knew it, I had dog gears and it. 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:56.800 Happened so fast. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:58.319 It was the flower crown. 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.800 I was enjoying it great, and then I was like, 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:02.200 how does it know where to put these freckles? How 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.280 does it know where to put this nose because it 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:05.760 recognizes your face. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.640 Girl, exactly. So the way that facial recognition technology works 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.760 is that one it's technology that's able to recognize a 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.720 human face and then measure its features. And every face 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.240 has distinguishable landmarks and different peaks and valleys and things 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.640 like that. Your face is a map, right, Like Zakia 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:28.320 has big eyes and I have a big fourhead. Do 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.880 you not have big eyes? I can see will the 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:38.720 white parts don't see? But and each human face has 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:43.360 about eighty nodal points, which are these landmarks. And so 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.760 what the software does is that it measures everything. So 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.640 it's able to measure the width of your forehead, the 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.520 width of your nose, the length of your jaw, the 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:56.080 width of your smile, your mouth, the distance between your eyes. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.640 And then what these social media apps do is they 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.560 take the those measurements and then they're like, okay, so well, 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.800 then this is where I'll put the dog ears, this 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.360 is where I'll put the flower crown, this is where 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.240 I'll put the whatever. 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:12.640 Yes, And we didn't even stop there. We said thank you, Snapchat, 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.160 I'll have another, and then we started doing these things 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.200 where we were saying age me ten years exactly. I 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:20.920 want to see what I'm going to look like when 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.040 I'm wrinkley, And a lot. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.120 Of people did it. It's a lot of fun. But 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.440 the difference, I think the difference is is like what 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.160 folks are doing with that information later on, and the 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.440 technology is advancing. So facial recognition used to only be 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.200 two D. Now we have three D facial recognition. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:38.360 What what does it mean. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.880 That iPhone that you have when you have unlocked with 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.360 your face. But when you were trying to. 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.240 Set that up, it said to turn to the side. 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.000 It said look to the camera, look into the camera, 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.640 and turn your head all around. So I did it 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.600 to that three D facial recognition technology knows every nook 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.080 and cranny of that face. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.920 And that makes so much sense because now now they 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.360 have all the markers on my face, right. So that's 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.000 why when I have my sunglasses on, it still knows 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.280 who I am because it has all these other markers 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:05.880 from all around, right. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.360 Or if your phone is on the table and you're 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.680 looking down at it, it still knows that it's you. Yeah. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.400 But you know what, when I'm sleepy and I swipe 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.440 up in that phone unlocks, I say thank you Steve Job. 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.440 But this technology is really cool and really useful for 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.480 a lot of other things. So people are able to 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.320 use this, like for crimes and things like that. Like 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.280 if you have a mugshot, they're able to scan that 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.640 mugshot into facial recognition technology. And let's say they're looking 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.760 for that criminal or the alleged criminal in a sea 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.680 of people, They're able to locate that person based on 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.960 that Based on that mugshot. The government already has your face. 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.680 If you have a government issued ID like a passport 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.560 or a driver's license or any type of government issued 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.240 documentation that has your photo, they have your face. And 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.720 so they use they have all that information stored. 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.600 And I think, you know, I felt like I'm just 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.159 gonna take it back. And y'all some of y'all might 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:07.840 not remember this, but I remember y two K and 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.440 people were scared of computers. Okay, we were like, oh, 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.639 what are they gonna do when it resets to two thousand. 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.280 Everybody's withdrawing all their money from their bank account. 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.440 Yes, we had so much bottled water. 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.480 And when you think about that and how skeptical we were, 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.840 and now I'm like, when I can't purchase with Apple 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:29.240 pay or PayPal or something where I have my information 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.280 stored and it just needs to scan my face. 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.439 I cancel it. Yeah, I'm like, no, you think it 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:35.080 ain't worth it. 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.280 You want me first of all, I'm shopping in the night. 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.600 You want me. It's shopping by the light of the moon. 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.320 You want me to throw those covers back. Damned up 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:49.600 with my non MEGANI stallion knees and non someone biles ankles, 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.920 risk my it band, risk it all to go get 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:54.600 that wallet. It's not happening. 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.560 And by the time I make all those steps, I'm like, 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.560 you don't need to buy this. You have enough candles. 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:02.720 How many greeting cars. 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.119 Do you need to buy? I love to buy people's 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:04.960 art own greeting cards. 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:06.359 I said this the other day. I was like, you 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:11.000 do not need a sweatshirt. This is cool, aunt, Yes, 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:11.400 you do. 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:13.879 The thing what people forget is that all of this 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.920 technology has to be It needs data to be trained. 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.440 And I feel like no one is slowing down and saying, 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:20.919 wait a minute, is this the best idea? 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:21.399 Yes? 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.360 Like t T said, this technology takes all of these 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.639 different pieces of information and it's relational. It says, okay, 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.320 I see this is these peaks are up here. Those 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.360 are your eyebrows, and some of y'all drawing them too high, 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:34.960 but that's not what we're going to talk about. 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:36.360 And they say, these are your eyebrows. 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.040 And then over here this shiny part right here, these 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:39.920 are your cheeks, you know, And so it makes a. 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:41.920 Match highlighter too much highlight? 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.439 Okay, that nars albatross t tbot that four years ago, 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:46.520 and I'm. 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:50.000 And we've been painting ourselves with it Tennyson's and so 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:52.960 it takes all this information. It says, this is a face. 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:55.800 But one of the things that we've been seeing come 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.120 up in the news about this type of technology is biased. 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.720 When people are pro and creating this software, they're saying, 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.560 this is what a face should look like. And if 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.320 you only train these systems or this technology on a 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.199 certain type of face, then yeah, you always expect the 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:14.000 face to look narrow, plenty nose, little eyes. 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.040 Some of us have big eyes. Okay, And I think 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:17.880 it's so important. 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.639 You know, this technology is only as good as the 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.359 people designing it and the data sets that they use 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.640 to train it. So this is great technology, but there's 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.639 so much room for improvement to eliminate bias, right, and 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.280 that bias can lead to technology that ends up being 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.880 sexist or racist, and that's also been in the news. 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:41.000 So while yes, we all love dog ears and flower 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:45.400 crowns and the smooth skin filter on Instagram. 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:49.000 Yes, it's perfect on a long day, there's still so 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.200 much more to do when we think about this technology 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:58.000 being implemented in other areas and it's inclusivity. And next 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.359
