WEBVTT - Study Hall: The Future of Humanoid Robots & AI Companionship

0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little,

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank.

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>It might seem boring to safe plan and make calculated

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.599
<v Speaker 1>decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life. P

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit as people becoming more aware with AI,

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and it's going into the world of robotics. Like you

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>just talked about large language models machine learning, but robotics

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>is kind of picking up steam around conversations. We saw

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>what happened with Tesla. Open AI has now created a

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>humanoid that has come into inside the BMW plant and

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 1>it's taking some jobs. How fast and how abruptly do

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you think humanoid or human robot? Well, the humanoid robot

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>will be implemented and how I shouldn't say afraid, but

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.799
<v Speaker 1>how aware should we be that this is the next

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>evolution of it.

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, Elon Musk wants that to be his

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 2>next you know, trillion dollar business right now. And the

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>thing about the humanoid robots is the technology is already here.

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I think the process of adaptation is getting people to

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 2>a point of normalcy with them, right you know, of course,

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, knocking out all of the bugs and the

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 2>tinkering issues that's going to come along with you know,

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 2>adopting robots in these environments. But we really looking at

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>the next two to three years right for the rolling

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>out of it and seeing how people respond and then

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the regulations that's going to come along with it. I

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>think one of the bigger things when it comes to

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 2>the robot, when it comes to AI period, is looking

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 2>at regulation and how it's going to hurt small businesses

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>because the people that the government is calling on to

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 2>do the regulations is going to be the open AI

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.119
<v Speaker 2>is going to be the Microsoft, going to be these

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>large companies that are building out these large language models

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>and these large AI models, and they've already trained it

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 2>on your data, they trained it on YouTube data, they

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>trained it on all this data and then they're going

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>to regulate it so that the average engineer coder can

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>then go do the same thing, so that they won't

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 2>be able to compete. So as we go into robots, yes,

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 2>the robots are going to come and take mundane tasks

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>oriented jobs, right, and quite frankly, in a lot of

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 2>different situations they should. I think humans need to augment

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>themselves and get deeper into what it means to be human.

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>But in some of these things is going to get

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 2>dystopian because they don't really care about people. It's a

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>profit based system. They're going to be doing a lot

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 2>of factory work, right, They're going to be doing a

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of low paying job work. And you know, Donald

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Trump called it black and Hispanic jobs. You know what

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, The robots are going to be the ones

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.559
<v Speaker 2>come and taking those black and Hispanic jobs. The AI

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 2>is going to be the one come and taking those

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 2>black and Hispanic jobs. So you ain't got to ware

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 2>about no immigrant to anything else, you feel me. The

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 2>thing that you should be focused oning is how do

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you prepare yourself in a future where AI and robots

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 2>and quantum computers exist? Because focusing on slowing it down

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 2>is not going to change anything. Focusing on preparing for

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 2>it right, developing the skills, thinking about the new businesses,

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the new services that will be needed in that future.

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Humans will always be needed, right, We don't even want

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the future to wear it's a complete matrix and machines

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 2>running everything. Humans will always be needed. I think that's

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 2>the thing that we need to focus on. But yes,

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>robots are here, right, And for me, thinking about the

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>future is only prepared for it. It's not being scared

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 2>of it. It's not having this fearful idea of it.

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 2>None of that. We have to decolonize our minds of

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the future and asks ourselves what do we want it

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 2>to be, because then we also determine the future by

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 2>planning for it. So how would we use robots is

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 2>the question?

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>What value could they bring to us? And I'm not

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 2>in a deep necessity for robots because I think that

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 2>the task that robots do are you know, very factory

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 2>and they're going to be super expensive. So the average

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.840
<v Speaker 2>person is not going to be using those type of robots.

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.479
<v Speaker 2>Average person's going to be using home robots. And I

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.720
<v Speaker 2>looked at the CS show and looking at the ones

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 2>that they're rolling out. They're talking about simple tasks within

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>the home that people are going to be using the

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>robots for. People are going to be using companion robots

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>right for loneliness. That's happening with people today, and I

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.359
<v Speaker 2>think that's probably going to be one of the biggest

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 2>use cases for the average person because loneliness is on

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 2>the rise. The average mail out here is lonely. They

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>ain't got nobody, right, and so you know, I see

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 2>people becoming friends with robots and building companionship and that

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>being one of the biggest retail aspects of the robot industry.

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 4>That's a fact. We'll bring Ian up for a question.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.280
<v Speaker 4>But while we bring waiting for Ian. You know, it's

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 4>crazy you say that becausehen We we was in Davos.

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 4>They had this guy who dropped out of Harvard and

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 4>he created an uh an app for companionship AI companionship

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 4>and he received raised a bunch of money in his

0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 4>seed round and that was the whole purpose of it

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 4>is as far as being a companion he kind of

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 4>explained why AI companionship was needed, and it was so yeah,

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 4>no matter how you feel about it, that's something that's real.

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 4>But Ian you did, and.

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 3>They got our only fans Ai companion app already. Yeah.

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it's called uh. I think it's called slow.

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I wrote it down in my notes when I saw it.

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I said, I'm gonna remember this one. But it's spelled

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>with an X so x O U L.

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 3>It's on you man, keys, my brother, how are you?

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 3>I wish I could uh, you know my action was

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 3>a little bit better. Man, Good to have you here.

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 3>But but I do think automation, of course is needed.

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 3>We talked about this before, maybe two or three years ago,

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 3>and like you said, I don't think we need to fear.

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 3>We need to find out where to use it because

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 3>the truth is that these software and systems and hardware,

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 3>they're going to be here regardless, and there are going

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 3>to be the next sectors that really dominate the mark.

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what a open Ai would be worth

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 3>when it goes public, but it will easily enter that

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 3>top ten, top eleven. So we just have to find

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 3>a way to be able to use it and integrated,

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 3>because they're going to make sure that that technology is

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 3>here in our lives the same way that the iPhone

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 3>came in in two thousand seven eight nine and dominated

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 3>our lives from there.

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 4>That's a fact.

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 5>An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 5>in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 5>accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.200
<v Speaker 5>filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 5>some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 5>Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 5>Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 5>crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 5>one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 5>were here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 5>one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 5>never return. But if you register using our CBP home

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 5>app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 5>Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 5>border and families will be protected. Sponsored by the United
