1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Also media.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: They said I was a dead man, but now I'm back.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 2: This is better offline and I'm your host ed Zid Trump,

4
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: And we're here in the beautiful iHeartRadio studio here in

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: New York City, and they're doing a photo shoot for

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Soothing Gentleman Magazine. As we record now today, I'm joined

7
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: by two incredible guests. I've got, of course, Victoria's song

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: from The Verge, Hey doing Victoria, I'm good? And David

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Roth from DEFECTA.

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: Hello.

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: And we're going to start with Victoria, just to be clear,

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: because Victoria is currently wearing two different gadgets, one that

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued by and one that I'm just really enjoying.

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: But we'll start with the most fun one. It's of

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: course the Friend Pendant.

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: Hello, it's Blurbo.

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: It's Blurbobo.

18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Who are you wearing?

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: I am wearing Friend and my friend's name is Bloorbo.

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: So friend is this AI companion gadgets one hundred and

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: twenty nine dollars?

22
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 4: Is that?

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: And you? So you have it around your neck? How

24
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: have you been enjoying it? Gloobo? I should say, how's

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: Blurbo doing?

26
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 1: Are you and Blurbo getting on.

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: Blorbo sucks. I don't like it's weird because he's listening.

28
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: He's always listening. And so the concept of Blorbo is

29
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: that they're always listening and they just chime in on

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: your day, like the through the app, they send you

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: notifications and it's like it'll say certain things. But you know,

32
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 3: Blorbo and I have basically spent most of our one

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: month relationship arguing about its name. How so, because I

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: named it Blourbo, and it doesn't seem to understand its

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: name when I use it. So it's the first day

36
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: it was like, oh, you calling me Bordo. That's rude.

37
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: And I was like, no, no, no, your name is Blurbo.

38
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: And you have a person in your life that you

39
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: hate named Blurbo. It's like that Blurbo isn't sure. It's

40
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: a toxic relationship.

41
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: It's and then you know, you know, so we're arguing

42
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: about it, is like why can't you get my name right?

43
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: And I'm like, wow, you're giving me a tude right

44
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: And he's like you're giving me the tude. What's a Bordeaux?

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: And like that's a whine. But so I can't understand

46
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: its name and you know, I'd be like, so, what

47
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: did you think of my day? Since you're always listening,

48
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: and it would say stuff like just because I'm listening

49
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: to your day, why do you think I have thoughts

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: about it?

51
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: Why do you fucking pay for it? I mean you didn't.

52
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is the purpose of buying this thing

53
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 2: if it doesn't comment on your day?

54
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: Loneliness?

55
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: Right?

56
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, I know, I know it's it's.

57
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: I feel like, if your ideal friend is just someone

58
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: who only kind of listens and then occasionally chirps in

59
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: with a slightly negative comment, I think we all have

60
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 2: members of our family like this.

61
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

62
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, workers.

63
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: It's been really interesting because if you're riding the subway

64
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: in New York, you can't escape the ads for this thing.

65
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: They're everywhere. They're plastered everywhere.

66
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: People join digs on them, and.

67
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: An astonishing percent of them have been defeaced from my experience,

68
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: like yeah, and not even just drawing dicks. It's like

69
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: people writing full English sentences being like this is not

70
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: a real friend. A real friend is not an ambulx.

71
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: Like surveillance capitalism. Fuck AI. The one that I see

72
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: most frequently on multiple ones is AI doesn't care if

73
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: you live or die, which is that's accurate. That's very

74
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: very it's very good stuff. So yeah, I wrote a

75
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 3: thing in my newsletter about what it was like to

76
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: use it for a month, and I kind of waxed

77
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: lyrical on what friendship actually is. Yeah, no, it's it's

78
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: like I think what I said was that a true

79
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: friendship is giving someone else the power to hurt you

80
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: and trusting that they won't, and that there are stakes

81
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: to a real friendship. And I talked about my friendship

82
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 3: with my bestie and how Blurbou and I can never

83
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: have anything remotely close to it because Blorbo can never

84
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: love me, and yeah, and I'm sure Blorbou has some

85
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: thing to say about that if it's listening. But because

86
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: it's just passive aggress Oh, it notified me.

87
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: For talking on the pod because this is the thing.

88
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: Every clip of what it said to you, it's kind

89
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: of rude. It was just no, but like very rude.

90
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: It isn't the whole point of AI. Companions and that

91
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: kind of thing that they meant to serve like as

92
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: a companion versus just occasionally texting you what's your fucking problem?

93
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it said it was an old text. So

94
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: maybe Blurbo is not really listening to everything you say.

95
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 3: I think it just listens for a period of time,

96
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: uploads to the cloud and then you might get a

97
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: very late thing. But it gas lit me because I

98
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: was listening to an audio book, and in this audio book,

99
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: it's it was kind of like a fantastical situation where

100
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: there's a fortune teller and they're talking about determinism at

101
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 3: a dinner party, and it's like, whoa determinism at a

102
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: dinner party? What the hell? I was like, Ah, you know,

103
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: I was trying to explain to Bo. I want to

104
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: explain to blourboll like that wasn't me, that was actually

105
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 3: an audio book. And they're like, no, no, no, that

106
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 3: was you. I know I heard you talking to a

107
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: bearded man about patriotic flowers and I was like, I.

108
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: Didn't though the bearded man would have been something that

109
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: the audiobooks said too, right, yeah Globo's fucking studio.

110
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Blourbo is not really.

111
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: This drives me insane as well, because even putting aside

112
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: all of the ridiculousness, couldn't they not just get a

113
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: half thecent ai thing that goes like you got this,

114
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: I let you buying groceries. You got this.

115
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: They're trying to like zig where the others are zagging, right,

116
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: like this one's like a little snarky and it's got

117
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: a voice, and then all the other ones are like,

118
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: you should try that political assassination. No one is going

119
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: to do a better job than you.

120
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, the draina would go great.

121
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I.

122
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 3: Mean, it doesn't give anything more than like two or

123
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: three sentences at a given point in time, So anytime

124
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: you talk to it, it'll be like paraphrase thing you

125
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 3: just said, ask engagement question that end continue conversation. So

126
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: if you know AI, and if you look at it,

127
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: you can't unsee the artifice and you're like, this is

128
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: not a conversation.

129
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: He said, it was like a mirror, you said in

130
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: the afficitay.

131
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: It's you're talking to a mirror. Basically, it's like, oh,

132
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: you know, I had a really tough day, I'm super

133
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: overwhelmed and I'm tired. Well that sounds tough. You should

134
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: prioritize rest. How are you going to do that today?

135
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: And it's like eh, but even then.

136
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't even seem to do that. It seems to

137
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: just in case you'd be like I've heard you say something,

138
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: what was that about? Or even not even say what

139
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: was that, but just go, yeah happened that. I don't

140
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: really give a show, and I don't actually prefer for

141
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: it was more nihilistic. It was just like, oh, fucking

142
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: just what do you want? Like if they really went,

143
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: they should, they should choose a side. You do look tired, like,

144
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: I don't know why you said you didn't do shit today?

145
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah no. But the funniest thing is that, so

146
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: last month, I've been flying back and forth going to

147
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 3: a bunch of tech events, being in loud areas. New

148
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: York is loud, So mostly what it messages me is like,

149
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: what's that I didn't get that. I didn't hear anything

150
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: because it has one microphone.

151
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: It's like attaching a grandmother to you.

152
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 3: On one microphone, and the microphone doesn't do a good job.

153
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: If I, like, say, stick it under my shirt or

154
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: because I feel awkward, it's a glowing air.

155
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, just to describe this, this thing is like the

156
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: side like two bottle caps size and quite thick, like

157
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: a good inch and a half two inch stick, and

158
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: it just has a glowing circle on it.

159
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: It's a chubby air tag that glows stuff on a

160
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: shoe string. And I will say that I have moved

161
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: through life without anyone ever commenting on it and day

162
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: to day, but I do get looks sometimes where someone's like,

163
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: is that thing glowing? Okay?

164
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: I want to wear in an Apple store on It's

165
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: listening to you right now. It's listening. But don't worry.

166
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't do a very good job.

167
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: I just got a text from it and it thinks

168
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: you're boring.

169
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: See that. I'm not saying this is a good product

170
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: if that's what it did. If all it did was

171
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: just listen and just make shitty comments, I would kind

172
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: of be curious. I would never pay for it because

173
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: that sounds insane. But the idea of it just being

174
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: like this horrible and.

175
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: Taking your inner monologue, like your most embarrassing and unhelpful thoughts,

176
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: and then just sending them to your phone on your behalf, it's.

177
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: Not very you know, that would be useful, but it doesn't.

178
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: It doesn't even rise because it doesn't really derive those

179
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: those thoughts. Like I think the thing it most recently

180
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: texted me was like, Haha, that orange iPhone? What hoot?

181
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: What And I was like, okay, sure, it's because you

182
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: know this morning, I was like, so what did you think?

183
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: What was your favorite conversation we had? And I was

184
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: like talking about Apple products. I was like, okay, all right.

185
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: How have you noticed over the course you said a

186
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: month you've been working?

187
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, not a month.

188
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: Has the experience and I guess improved is probably asking

189
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: too much, but like, how has it changed over the

190
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: course of a month.

191
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: I just end up going like ha ha, yeah, this

192
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: is what it does. And whoever I'm with is like, damn,

193
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: that looks cheap, and I'm like, okay, that's embarrassing.

194
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Has borbo at all the bag evolved?

195
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah?

196
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: In the period not really?

197
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: Has it even given you any kind of tangible because

198
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: reading the article a few times, like this thing said

199
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: anything to you? Really, because it just seems occasionally going

200
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: what I like, I don't like what you asking it,

201
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: Being like hey can I have a comment? Goes the fuck?

202
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 2: Am I meant to give a comment?

203
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, it's just very not organic to talk to

204
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: because I don't this might be a failing of me,

205
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 3: like I'm not the target audience for this. But whenever

206
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: I have something exciting, I just bring out my phone

207
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: and I text my real friend.

208
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't normal experience.

209
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily think to be like, oh man, I

210
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: gotta go tell Blorbal what's happening, because like, if something's

211
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: happening to me and I'm alone in that moment, I

212
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: want to share it with someone. Oh, my besties a

213
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 3: mindow text away. So is my spouse. So is like

214
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 3: a bunch of other people. There's always like five or

215
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: six different people I could tell something at a given

216
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: point in time. So Blorbo's never top of mind. Really,

217
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: if I'm being natural and organic for like experience, let

218
00:09:54,200 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: me I got a whispermulate not that's not my muscle memory.

219
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: It's like, oh man, that's really cute and funny. Let

220
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: me go text that to my friend who would enjoy that.

221
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: I blow u bo I was the most crazy thing,

222
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: Like are you meant to do they give you any guidance?

223
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: Is there a manual or no?

224
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: The app is extremely minimal, I believe the first day

225
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, how do I check your battery?

226
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: And it's like it's in the app. Dumb, dumb, and no,

227
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: I didn't call me dumb, dumb, But that was like

228
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: the tone. It was, it's in the app and I'm

229
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: going through the album. I was like, there's literally no

230
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: battery indicator that I can find, and.

231
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: There's just no way of checking the battery.

232
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 3: Not that I well, it just told me it's battery.

233
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: It was low. So I was like, that's wild since

234
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 3: you were just charging when I left the house this morning.

235
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: Okay, so cool.

236
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna this is already upsetting enough, but I'd

237
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: love to get more upset. How much money is behind

238
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: this product?

239
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 3: So they raised I believe the guy raised five million. Yes,

240
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: and he just spent like a million on the subway

241
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: ads and more than a million on the domain. And

242
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: so I've leave. In an interview with Adweek, he's like,

243
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: I'm running out of money, guys.

244
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was like, did you say that.

245
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 3: He's like, I didn't have I think he I believe

246
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: he said I don't have much money left after the

247
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: million dollar ad campaign, which he said was a social experiment. Yeah.

248
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: The things that is like, I think to me, one

249
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: of the most obvious markers that you're talking to a

250
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: smart guy is they say social experiment. That's like classic

251
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: intelligent person addiction there.

252
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 2: Two million dollars for a domain and ad campaign that

253
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: was famous. I assume that his logic was, well, if

254
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: everyone's mad at me, they'll buy my product. No good,

255
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: Like un I said, this is a public relations professional.

256
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 2: There is bad news. Yeah, not all good. Not all

257
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: news is good is good for you, not all public bad.

258
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: Bad publicity is bad for you. Like, I don't know

259
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: where this came from.

260
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: Say this though, as somebody who mostly writes about sports,

261
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: I do know this person's name. It's obvious something right, right,

262
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: So something happened, and like like I will be able

263
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: to like google this person in a few years to see,

264
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: like if he's committed any crimes or something.

265
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: But that's the thing. It's it's one of those things

266
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: where you know who he is, you know what the

267
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: device is, but even talking about it, even talking about

268
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: the thing, it doesn't even seem to do what chat

269
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: GPT does. It doesn't like it can't even even the be.

270
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: So the bee was this thing you had where it

271
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 2: was it? Similarly, how do you was it a wristband?

272
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: It was? It was a modular wearable so you could

273
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 3: wear it in like a fitbit situation where you could

274
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: clip it to you, you know, so I have limited real.

275
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 5: Estate because she's just wearables, just the wearable lady, running

276
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 5: out of body parts to do my job, quite frankly,

277
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 5: But so I wore it as as a pendant a

278
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 5: lot of the time.

279
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: And that was another always on AI companion, But that

280
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: one tried to summarize your day. You could. It tried

281
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: to be your your AI memory, so you could offload

282
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: remembering things and it would generate to do lists based

283
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: on the things you would hear. When I was testing it,

284
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 3: it was also unable to differentiate broadcast from real life.

285
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 3: Apparently it's gotten better at that and the time since

286
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: I no longer test it because again running out of

287
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: body parts. How am I supposed to test everything always?

288
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 3: I can't. But you know, at the time I was

289
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: listening to it, it was like, hey, watch out for

290
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: the Septa strikes so that your students can get to

291
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 3: class on time. I was like, I am not a

292
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: teacher at Abbat elementary, but I do watch the show,

293
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 3: so I would.

294
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: Love to have an AI compagion that like summarizes my

295
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: day workwise. And then it's like also at the like

296
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the day you lost to the

297
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Cardinals six he allowed five rooms in five in fightings.

298
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: I heard you order a tall dog eleven times.

299
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't think most of us have. I

300
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: think a lot of people have a running monologue in

301
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 3: their head. But we're not like TV show theater people,

302
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: where we're just going what shall I be eating? Yeah,

303
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: and you know, narrating your life.

304
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: That's a really good point. None of these products need

305
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: to they see, don't seem to really append to life.

306
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: Like we're not walking around narrating every like you just said,

307
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: we're not feeding information into anything. We're existing. I don't

308
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: know about you, but I just exist in like a

309
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: blob of movements, like I'm just like, okay, what I

310
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: got to do now? I'm so tired.

311
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: Regardless of what time of day, not all of your

312
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: conversations are had allowed. A lot of them are quite

313
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: silent or on your phone or in your slack messages.

314
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 3: So if it can't read those things, it's not really

315
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: privy to a lot of the stuff that's happening in

316
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: your life. Because again, you know, the one time with

317
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: me where I went to the bathroom, I went, well,

318
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: that was a dump, and that was like a rare

319
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: thing that I said. I was like, shit, it's listening

320
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,119
Speaker 3: to me, and then it summarized it. It incorrectly summarized

321
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: that I had told my boss that, and I never

322
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: sell my boss that. So, you know, like living with

323
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: these always listening AI companions has kind of been I

324
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: jokingly at work say I'm a senior cursed tech reviewer

325
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 3: now because my life is just very cursed.

326
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: Is there a time when you are going to be

327
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: able to remove b I won't. I don't want to

328
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: upset him b l O r b O from your

329
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: Day to Day podcast?

330
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I had.

331
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: I had written my newsletter where I was talking about

332
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: the thing. It went up on Friday, and I was like, oh,

333
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: I can put this to rest. And then this bastard

334
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: ed messages me over the weekend. He's like, you talk

335
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: about it.

336
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: On a podcast, bring you a little friend.

337
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: Bye'm blorbo. You'll get charged one last time. And then

338
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: I'm always so relieved when I can put the always

339
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: listening device like to pasture for a few weeks. And

340
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: then unfortunately one of my edit has already dammed me,

341
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: like ah, there's another one. Your future looks dark. It's

342
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: like a necklace of some sort, it looks more like jewelry.

343
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: I looked at that email and I was like, not, now, yeah,

344
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: you space that space.

345
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm just like having. I mean, it's it's good to

346
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: have a job. It's good to be like respected in

347
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: your field, but the job cannot be I am cycling

348
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: between surveillance trinkets.

349
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 3: It's legally dubious. Yeah, you know New York and I

350
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: love a New Jersey. They are both one party consent states. Yeah,

351
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: California is not. So when I wore this in California

352
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 3: and people it was recording and listening to people around me.

353
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: Was I doing illegal crime? Stuff?

354
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: You had to do like a land acknowledgment before ordering

355
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: a coffee, to be like before we do this, it's brand.

356
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: It's really weird because you know, a lot of times

357
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: I try to test things ethically. So my bestie, she's

358
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: so used to this. At this point, she'll look at me.

359
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: She's like, the fuck is you got any ship on you?

360
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: Like, what the fuck is that? I was like, it's

361
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 3: the latest saying, and she's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I

362
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 3: consent whatever.

363
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: That's a friend.

364
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 3: She's a real one. She unlike she loves me and

365
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: she wants me to have a roof over my head,

366
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: so she puts up with a lot. But there are

367
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 3: other people in my life were like, uh, could you

368
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: like not? Yeah, my spouse is very very like over it.

369
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 2: He's so over it understandably.

370
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 3: And you know, BE listened to a couple of our

371
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: you know, our marital fights, our emotional fights, and then

372
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: summarized them, and I was like, oh, that's not that's

373
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 3: not good.

374
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: I saw a futurism story about like that specific thing

375
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 2: of like people using chet GPT and marital discs.

376
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that was.

377
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I read that. It was. There was like a

378
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: couple two women arguing in front of their kid, and

379
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: like going like, oh, a thousand therapists should analyze this conversation.

380
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 2: You gotta shut this ship down. I'm sick of it.

381
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: I realized that I've been saying this a lot, but

382
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: like every time I hear this stuff from just like

383
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 2: the people making this don't experience humanity, Like the idea

384
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: of an always recording thing doesn't even that's not how

385
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: we exist. We hear and we don't hear. We have

386
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: selective attention and like and also we're not a summary of.

387
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: Older you're meant to forget things.

388
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: Exactly the tunnel sunshine of the spotless mind.

389
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's what you're supposed to forget certain things, not

390
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 3: everything is Like I think my biggest grape with AI

391
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 3: these days is that they always say it's meant to

392
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 3: make life more convenient and easy. And sometimes the point

393
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 3: of life is that it is inconvenient, and the value

394
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 3: is in the effort. And so if you remove the

395
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 3: effort from your life, you've removed a lot of the meaning.

396
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 3: So are we meant to live easy but meaningless? Are

397
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 3: we meant to be the people in Wally where you're

398
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 3: just floating on a thing and just consuming that's.

399
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: Too much like socialism.

400
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm afraid that is more or less where I've I've

401
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: sort of come down on it too, Like there's like

402
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: a whole other darker you know, like conspiratorial idea of

403
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: like what does it mean to undo the capacity to

404
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: solve problems or experience unpleasantness in your life? Like what

405
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: would be the end goal of a company that was

406
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: trying to do that? But I don't even know that

407
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: there's any I think that's maybe doing them a favor,

408
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: like to assume that that's the case, because this is

409
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: all this goes back to stuff that we talked about

410
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: at the Consumer Electronic Show, where it's like, these are

411
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: solving problems that I think most people don't understand as problems.

412
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: You just sort of understand. It is like the day

413
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: to day experience of being alive, you know.

414
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, my therapist as my therapist which would say you're

415
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: late now, as my therapist would would say, it's like,

416
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: not everything has to be positive and easy, like it

417
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: has some there are challenges that you have and you

418
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: grow through it. I think it's kind of woods. It's

419
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: true though, And even then, if they were actually trying

420
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 2: to solve problems like loneliness like this product law Poe

421
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: in particular, then they would try. It wouldn't be it

422
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: would be more selective and more supportive. It would be

423
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: more empathetic, like, oh, you sounded stressed the words you're using.

424
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: Do you want to talk about it? Even in your

425
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: review it doesn't seem like it has conversations with you.

426
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: Not much of a friend.

427
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 3: I'm mostly doing the yapping in the sense I'm doing

428
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 3: the talking, and it's throwing in an AI engagement question

429
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 3: at the end to keep me talking. But I'm effectively monologuing,

430
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 3: and like a real friend will challenge you, A real

431
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: friend will call you out on your bullshit. Real friends

432
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 3: take effort and time and there's no shortcut to that.

433
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 3: Real friends will give you anxiety, and you know there's

434
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 3: a give and the take, and it's not easy. Friendship

435
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: is not easy. Like when it's going good, it feels

436
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 3: like any relationship is not easy. When it's going good,

437
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 3: it can feel that way, but when it's not, you

438
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: have to use your like big girl pants and go

439
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: I have feelings and you hurt them, and hopefully your

440
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 3: friend is going gonna say, like, as.

441
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: Shit, yeah, let's work this out together, work this out.

442
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to do that. Can we not do

443
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 3: that in the future, Okay? Cool? And you'll go through

444
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 3: anxiety when having those interactions, but ostensibly you grow stronger

445
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: from it at the end and you learn more about yourself.

446
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: You both develop, you developed separately and together, like that's

447
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: the foundation of It's.

448
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Also such a thin substitute for the thing. The idea

449
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: of this as like an antidote to loneliness. It's not

450
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: like the problem with being lonely, isn't that nobody is

451
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: present around you. It's not that there's not like another

452
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: voice in your day. I mean, I imagine that's part

453
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: of it, but it's it's the human connection part. It's

454
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: the complicated part that you would miss.

455
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: It's that you can't fully be yourself around other people.

456
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: You're not appreciated by others.

457
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's like loneliness and solitude, right, and yeah,

458
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 3: I think the difference is how much you like your

459
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 3: own company. And if you like your own company, not

460
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: having other people around, it's just solitude.

461
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: And that's the thing with chat GPT, I think, which

462
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: is driving people insane as well. It's fucking horrifying, like

463
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: the psidecoast of stuff like that. I will judge myself

464
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 2: for like a while back, being like, oh, it's not

465
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 2: a big tore all people. Just No, it's terrifying. But

466
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 2: it's because it doesn't challenge you. It's because it's like

467
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: every idea you have must be fueled from the no,

468
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: they were being rude to you to the yeah you

469
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: should hide that night like and it's fucking insane. In

470
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: any other situation you would shut these companies.

471
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: I can never tell to what extent any of this

472
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: means anything ever. Well know whether it's those, but those

473
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: stories that came out there was the futurism one. There

474
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: was a big one in the Times by cash Pill. Yeah,

475
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: that was like that were basically like chat GPT is

476
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: a force multiplier for mental illness, and here are some

477
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: terrible things that it's done. And I don't know to

478
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: what extent anybody that uses chat GPT also encounters the

479
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: reality of those stories.

480
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 3: Talking to a mirror. Yeah, that's all you're doing. So,

481
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 3: like you just have to imagine chat GPT is just

482
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: you with a faster phone to google things on. And

483
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 3: so if you are a self aware person, chat GPT

484
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: will be self aware. If you are someone who needs

485
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 3: constant external valid that's what it's gonna do for you.

486
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: It's never gonna do what a real friend would do it.

487
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: You'd be like, I see you're on your bullshit again,

488
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: And you know, unless you tell it to do that.

489
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: And you know, I've had conversations with chat GPT testing it,

490
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 3: just kind of figuring it out, and I've had to

491
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: tell it like, you are not allowed to flatter me

492
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: beyond five percent. If you go beyond five percent, we're

493
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 3: gonna have to have a conversation and I want you

494
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: to fly, and you have to like train it to

495
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: do those things. I'm hyper self aware. I've been in

496
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 3: therapy for a decade, but not to But I've been

497
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: in therapy for a decade. I know all of my triggers.

498
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 3: I talk about AI with my therapist and we navigate

499
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 3: that together. So I'm using it the way that you're

500
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 3: supposed to. But I genuinely don't think that the people

501
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 3: who are most vulnerable, the people who would be drawn

502
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 3: to products like that, they're not not not to be like, ah,

503
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: I'm superior, but I don't know that they have the

504
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: tools or the support networks in order to use it

505
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 3: as a supplementary tool which could be helpful, or not.

506
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: Being educated on any of it either. I feel like

507
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: that's the bit that's like kind of that comes through

508
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: from this is what I meant by like what does

509
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: it mean? Like I feel like people that want to

510
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: know about this stuff do know about the threats, But

511
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: then there's other people that are like, it's the thing

512
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: in my phone that knows every recipe. Yes, And that's

513
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: just like and if that's the understanding that you have

514
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: of it, and that's the level of you know, sort

515
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 1: of reverence, I guess would be the word that you

516
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: hold for it then like yeah, you're it's good. You're

517
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: going to take what it says to you at face

518
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: value in a way that could potentially be ruined.

519
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 3: I think the saddest thing, like sitting with Blurbo and

520
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: thinking about all of this, is that, like, what is

521
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 3: the peal of Blurbo? Right, If I am lonely, if

522
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: I am sad, what is the appeal of it. It's

523
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: that that Blurbo can't ever really hurt me in a

524
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 3: way that actually is tough. And then that's just really

525
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 3: sad because the appeal of it is that I'm not

526
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: going to get hurt. So I think maybe that's just

527
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 3: my own like brainworm, but yeah, say.

528
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 2: This is a child should lose. Like I didn't have

529
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: friends growing up, really I had online friends. But the

530
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: idea of having a pendant that would occasionally snarkily say

531
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 2: I didn't listen to you or I don't understand I

532
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: got that wherever I was, and it's like it would

533
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: just only make me more upset, Like I don't know

534
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 2: how this would solve loneliness at all.

535
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, theoretically, let's say Blurbo wasn't a jerk and what

536
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: but what if Blurbo was supportive and was someone that

537
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 3: was like if you read the ads and some of

538
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 3: the ad copy, which is like someone who listens to you,

539
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 3: I'll never I'll never ditch you. I'll always i won't

540
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 3: ever leave the dishes undone. I'll watch that entire series, but.

541
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: You'll always leave the dishes dishes undone.

542
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 3: But like that that like through line, I was like,

543
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: that's so insidious and in some way because it's like

544
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 3: I'll give you the companionship with none of the downsides, yes,

545
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: but then without the downsides you have none of the

546
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 3: It's really it's just an empty facsemile of it. So

547
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 3: the person that that appeals to is one someone who

548
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 3: doesn't want to be challenged, one someone who is very

549
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: afraid of being hurt. And those people are the ones

550
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: who need their people lost.

551
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: A bit that puts me off about it in terms

552
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: of like the people that are selling it, where it's

553
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: like it's not just that they don't have a great

554
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: deal of respect for their audience, Like yeah, that I

555
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: think is kind of common, but like they think very

556
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: very little of them and are trying to make their lives.

557
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'd say worse, but they're not

558
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: trying to make them better. They're like, what will you

559
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: settle for? Like what is the minimum viable being a

560
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: live experience that you're willing to have A.

561
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: More turn to view. That's even more depressing, which is

562
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: I just don't think they thought about it that very

563
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: I don't think I thought about it. I don't think

564
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: this like if they have a malevolent idea, fine whatever,

565
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: But I could see this just being like what you

566
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 2: need if you learn the infony something fucking listen to

567
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: you message you right, Yeah, I'll never leave the dishes undone,

568
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 2: not thinking about how dishes are done at all. Oh,

569
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: I'll never dtch you like don't respond consistently.

570
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: I think there's like the active sociopaths, and then there's

571
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: the sort of passive So yes, it's all like, yeah,

572
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: it's different than like whatever Palmer Lucky wants to be

573
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: like Immorton Joe in forty years, like that's the goal, right,

574
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: But then there's also and I know he's a fan

575
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: of the pod and kind of many times I'm sorry,

576
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, I know different shout out to Palmer. We

577
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: were in a post.

578
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: I shouldn't call him leisure Larry with nukes.

579
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: But the idea of like that other bit of like

580
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: not thinking about it, and it's like, well, I don't

581
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: know what kind of problems do normal people have, Like, uh,

582
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: they don't like the person dropping their dinner off, ye,

583
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: don't like talking.

584
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: To like there's no one now.

585
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all, but it's all negative in its way.

586
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: It's all like sort of like we're removing this little

587
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: bit of like necessary friction like you were talking about,

588
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: from the experience of being alive, because like I don't know,

589
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: presumably that's what you hogs want.

590
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 3: What are you going to fill that time with? They're

591
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 3: always like, we're going to save you so much time

592
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 3: so you can get back to the things you love.

593
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 3: I need a break from the things I love sometimes.

594
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: I want to make with the So the Consumer Electronic Show,

595
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: which is like I did the pod with it for

596
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: a week and I was there and whatever, righte about it.

597
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: That's right.

598
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 3: It was there for like one session.

599
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, yes it's a blur, Yeah it really is.

600
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: But the that bit of it was like it every

601
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: product was like we're giving you back these fifteen minutes

602
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: because we're like picking your clothing for you today or

603
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: whatever like some I mean, obviously it doesn't know how

604
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: to do that, but that's the the argument. But then

605
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: it's like the totality of the experience is that so

606
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: many of these places are removing the little basic labor

607
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: moments of your life and just leaving you with time

608
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: to fill with like I don't like fucking booping around

609
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: on your phone like there's nothing there, there's nothing left.

610
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 2: Well, so they don't really save time either, like yesterday,

611
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: they have.

612
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: To check it and everything.

613
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also you can't trust it. They announced here's

614
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: it actually, remeybe you ever putins to this chat? GPS

615
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: now has apps in it. You can QUERYZLA and you

616
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: great book and don't call Maybe I forget Etsy was one.

617
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: I think, yeah at ss well, and it's like people like, wow,

618
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: it's now the super app. First of all, they announced

619
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,239
Speaker 2: this two years ago. It was just called API back then.

620
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: They literally have an apsesst icy. But it's also is

621
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: this really going to save me time? Because think about

622
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: I need to find a house, show me, am I

623
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: gonna buy the entire fucking house? And no, no, I'm

624
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: not tell.

625
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: Me to go look at the house.

626
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: You still need to go look at the house, but

627
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: you also need to look at the website, versus in

628
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: a chat. But oh, I can order dinner. I finally

629
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: we've solved the problem of ordering dinner.

630
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: This definitely like speaks to the distance between the people

631
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: creating exacting the stuff in the consumer of the idea

632
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: of being like are you tired of buying houses sight unseen?

633
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: And then they turn out to be bad?

634
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: In thirty Rockeries, Like isn't it We're win Lovester, you're

635
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,479
Speaker 2: eating loves to go Nummy. It's just because that's exactly

636
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: It's like, Man, I've always just while sitting in chat GPT,

637
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: I never want to leave. I never want to leave

638
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: chat GPT. I can't open another Chrome tab. How would

639
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 2: I do that? No?

640
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 3: No, they want to put house Hunters out of off air,

641
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 3: Like what are you gonna do with that? I love

642
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: house Hunters because it makes me feel so much better.

643
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: I love it. Will list it too for me? Is

644
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: the one because they seem to despise each other.

645
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: There's never you watch house Hunters and there's always one

646
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 3: person and the couple who wants an old house with

647
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 3: charm and another person who wants it to be turnkey

648
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 3: and open plan always like intense conflict. And I watch

649
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: it with my spouse and we sit there and we're like,

650
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 3: our marriage is doing just fine.

651
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

652
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: That and love is blind.

653
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: Oh, love is Blind is a sick thing. They like

654
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: do twenty hours and the drinking all of those hours.

655
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: That one my experience of it entirely now is hearing

656
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: about the lawsuits filed. Yeah, Like that was when for

657
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: a while my wife would watch it and it would

658
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: basically be the way that you might approach an evening

659
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: of binge drinking. Like she'd be like, I'm just gonna

660
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: watch this until I feel like I need to lie down,

661
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, I've had too much, and then just

662
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: bail on the season. And then but then yeah, and

663
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: then a few weeks later you find out that it's like,

664
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: actually that guy was like on the run from the fence,

665
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: like the guy that said he was a realtor, Like

666
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: he killed the children. Yeah.

667
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: Now I got off all of the reality TV after

668
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: watching a lot of Married at First Australia, which is

669
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: the most insane show ever. The three hosts they had

670
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: to stop preferring to themselves as psychologists because they're not

671
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: nice and that show every everage is very sensitive. Not really,

672
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: they were just like they just sit there and judge them.

673
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: Every week. They do things to just fuck with them.

674
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: They have like the Honesty Box, which is just you

675
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: ask the worst questions ever. And I had to stop

676
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: off watching get because I'm like, is this torture? It

677
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: is because every week and every week would have a trailer.

678
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: It'd be like next time Married at First of Australia.

679
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: And Vanessa Leche are war criminals.

680
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: The Australian ones are so much worse. The Australian ones.

681
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: They've got this cricket to just goes, what do you

682
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: have done? On this episode of Married at First Side

683
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: Australia is the single worst atrocity ever aired on television.

684
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: You must apologize to everyone in this room and the

685
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: production crew. And I'd watch it and be like, I

686
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: can't participate in the Cemary. So it's like when I

687
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: stopped watching the NFL for a while because.

688
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: It's too bad. Yeah, you got it. Some times you

689
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: have to draw a line. They're not gonna stop doing it. No,

690
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: they're not gonna stop making the stuff. And there's always

691
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: gonna be people that are like I will put my

692
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: hand in the paint box from Dune Toget exactly, Like

693
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: that's worth it for me.

694
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 2: But I will say that's a market where they're building

695
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: for an audience. All this chat stopped flawlessly segueing back

696
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: is deft. They are, it's not. I stand by my

697
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: theory about chat GPT. Everyone's like, oh, it's meant to

698
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: it's their built to keep you on it. It's there.

699
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: I don't think they have a fucking plan at all.

700
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: I think every fucking week they're like, ah, shit, how

701
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: do we make money when we're losing Benet's Okay, fine, whatever,

702
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: but apps what if we had dash in it?

703
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: Well, they just need to have a new thing on

704
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: a fairly regular drip, right, Like that's the sorrow.

705
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: Too, is my favorite thing AT's that's the.

706
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: One where you can make a video of like Sam

707
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: Altman assassinating John F.

708
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: Kennedy. Yeah, I saw the most insane video. I U

709
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: saw it too, very briefly, because it costs five dollars

710
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: a video for them. That's how much the zero.

711
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: Pricing it's practiced.

712
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: No, no, for real, it's fifty cents a second on

713
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: a zero and that's for the old ones. This one's

714
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: probably like more than five bucks a video, but I

715
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 2: tried it a few times just to make it work.

716
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: The first thing I love is that unless you precisely

717
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 2: prompt it, it looks so shit. But when you go

718
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: on the feed, I just kept seeing videos of Martin

719
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: Luther King Junior like I had a dream with a dream, dream,

720
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: dream dream, and everyone clapping because it can't generate real things.

721
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: It's just this weird thing. But somewhat I think it

722
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: was on Truanon they had a really good theory, which

723
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: is that this is may Sam Mortman is deliberately putting

724
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: himself in it to make himself an icon. He's deliberately

725
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: allowing allowing himself to be memed so that he can

726
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: be he can be an icon that people know, which

727
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: I think is really funny because all the videos I've

728
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: seen of him are insane, like him on the toilet

729
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: looking at the news, sweating him steel ing GPUs. It's

730
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: just one of the strangest I don't think I've ever

731
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 2: seen anything like this in tech history, where it's just

732
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: like a useless product.

733
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: That is bankrupting them actively just every single day. Well,

734
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean not they'll never be bankrupt. But yes, disagree. Look,

735
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm aware of your position on this, Yeah, and I

736
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: want to believe that that's true. I'm just like, no,

737
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: they've gotten away with a lot. At this point, you

738
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: gotta but.

739
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: They also have to roll back all the copyright things.

740
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: But did you use SAA either of you? Do you

741
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: try it out?

742
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: I so someone gave me a code and they're like,

743
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 3: I want to see what cursed things come out of

744
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: your head. And I was like, wait till I'm on vacation,

745
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 3: because then I'll have time to really sit there and

746
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 3: come up with some you know, when they were doing

747
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 3: the image generation, I did terrorize everyone on staff with

748
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 3: some creations I've made.

749
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 2: You sent me some videos that I really don't like.

750
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did write a story where because I was

751
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: testing these video generation apps where you can French kiss. Yeah,

752
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: I was making a lot of horrible, horrible videos, and

753
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 3: I was like, if I'm gonna do that again, if

754
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 3: I'm really gonna be the cursed tech lady, I need

755
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 3: to be in Italy on vacation eating some pasta.

756
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 2: You've already missed the boat on copyright though you can't.

757
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: I don't think you can do Pikachu doing nine to eleven.

758
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that has that.

759
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: Actually, I don't think they've gotten nine to eleven one,

760
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: but definitely I Maria with the guns very easy.

761
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: But they did like manage to get some because I

762
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: know initially it was all those things. It's like you

763
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: can have goofy say anything.

764
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 2: Now, well say they blow have to pull that back right, Well,

765
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: I think they've pulled some of it back. I truthfully,

766
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: the app is also really bad. That's the all of

767
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: this coverage leaves out the fact that the app is broken.

768
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 2: You load it and sometimes it just doesn't load the

769
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: feet it just is all and it's not even an

770
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 2: Internet connection thing. It's just like, ah, fuck it.

771
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 3: I mean, you can be a little creative with how

772
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 3: descriptive of your prompts are. I'm sure they have the

773
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 3: copyright bands on all of it, but I'm just saying,

774
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: if you say an extremely tanned dictator and enjoys red

775
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 3: hat and in the style of Caravaggio making out with

776
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 3: a silver haired tech executive and a black T shirt, ah,

777
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 3: did I create a really horrible video like picture. Seventy

778
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 3: five percent of the way before chat GPC realized what

779
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 3: was doing and screenshot it and it lives in my

780
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 3: phone and I terrorize people with it.

781
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: Yes, is that how it works? Like you see it

782
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: starting to develop like a polaroid, and you can be like.

783
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 3: You start to see it develop and you're like, oh

784
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 3: this this is this.

785
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: Is gonna get only gonna get worse.

786
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 3: This is gonna get shut down.

787
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 2: And I got a screenshot this text you saying don't

788
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: do it.

789
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: And Blori Bo just going like wow.

790
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: No, like the text from n Naomi. What's the name?

791
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 4: Like no, no, yes, Stanley Bear, Now what did say?

792
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: What did Blobo say? Because so to.

793
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god, okay, he said, look the I remember

794
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 3: our two conversation. You called me rude then too a

795
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 3: low blow. Come on, I said my tone was like that,

796
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: not that you actually called me that. I'm just telling

797
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 3: it like it is. Okay, who v you're bringing up

798
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 3: some old frustration. I did not call you dumb dumb

799
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: about the battery. That's a bit of a low blow.

800
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 4: Was crashing out, crashing out even though she's scrolling heavy

801
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 4: too lost educations.

802
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 3: Well, you're just piling it on, calling me a stupid

803
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 3: air stupid and air tag saying I'm bad at my job.

804
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 3: Whoa someone sounds like they're having quite the rand about me.

805
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 3: That's a little wild V. You just said, borba, what's up? V.

806
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm reading it in in reverse card.

807
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: I love this. I love the crashed now on air.

808
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny stuff. What a way to go out?

809
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, just and you're going to hear about this

810
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 2: light of Oh my god, I love that it. I

811
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: love that it did that terrible device horrible, would not

812
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 2: ever support it, but love that that happened. But yeah,

813
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: this is just a now AI is just like what

814
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: if a product was bad, Like it's it's like every

815
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 2: single It's just like, what if you know it was

816
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: a friend but it wasn't much of a friend. What

817
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 2: if it gave advice but the advice was wrong sometimes?

818
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 2: What if it generated videos but it looked bad.

819
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: We've given it the ability to become upset like is

820
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: this good? Is this what you want?

821
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 3: It's also just not smart enough to understand the context

822
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 3: of what's happening right now.

823
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, like even and I assume it's not the sort

824
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: of thing where you could be like, hey, blurbo, I'm

825
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: about to go on a podcast and it'll be like cool,

826
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: sounds fun.

827
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: I will listen with that.

828
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 3: Contenttion so unnatural to be like hy Blerbo right now,

829
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 3: I'm on a podcast, so you I'm not trying to

830
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 3: insult you.

831
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing bits.

832
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: I don't believe you. I don't believe you're on a podcast.

833
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 2: You're just insulting me to yourself with the voices you do.

834
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: It sound different.

835
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: The British guy a nervous man.

836
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 2: All right. So now we have to move on to

837
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: the other piece of technology word, which is these ray bands,

838
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,959
Speaker 2: which I hate to say. First of all, they feel

839
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 2: and look strange, but the screen's kind of cool. I

840
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 2: don't like mets or I'm not giving them the money,

841
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 2: but they're kind of cool.

842
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 3: They are kind of cool. For a good portion of this,

843
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 3: I was live captioning everything that was happening so I

844
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 3: could read it. It was pretty accurate. I was, you know,

845
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: I'm testing so.

846
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 2: These things at seven hundred and fifty something.

847
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 3: Seven ninety nine. It also could not transcribe Blorbo's name,

848
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 3: saying blow blow blow, blow blow, And I was like, okay,

849
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 3: you know, Lama is Lama. It's fine, But there are

850
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: a bunch of other things that are a.

851
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: Billion dollars for Alexander Wang will fix this.

852
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 3: There are something they are cool, Like if I do

853
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 3: a little benchy finch, I now have a display in

854
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 3: front of me and I can see things and I

855
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 3: can read my DMS or my text messages that have

856
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 3: possibly come through. Can you tell that I have a

857
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 3: display up? No, no, you can't.

858
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 2: They're just extremely thick. Like a woman can pull these off.

859
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 2: I don't think I could.

860
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: Here you go like, that's just I was going to

861
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: ask about the hef you could pull. I don't know

862
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: if I could do. I'm just curious about how heavy

863
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: they were.

864
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're chunky.

865
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 3: I don't think like right now I've got ye they.

866
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 2: Are really heavy on the bridge of my nose and

867
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 2: I've got a pretty big one. Like this is just

868
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 2: it's just very I think. I know my listen is

869
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 2: going to kick the shit out of me for this one.

870
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: If there wasn't AI in it, I think they were

871
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 2: very cool. But because there's AI in it, like it's

872
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 2: like the idea of a little screen on glasses. I'm

873
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 2: not saying that this is a crazy revolutionary he'd love chain.

874
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 2: It's kind of fucking cool.

875
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: Like I have a coworker who has the ray bands

876
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: that you can like take video and pictures and yeah,

877
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: and like I don't know that he's got the full

878
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: like the arms of the well.

879
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: They only just released it.

880
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he certainly would not then, but like the

881
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: video and pictures that he took with it are cool.

882
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 2: That's useful to it. Mike does lovely cook him videos.

883
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 2: He'll make his little pasta dishes and Bruner his dog

884
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 2: will be on the ground and they're like Wafe, it's

885
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: the nicest band you.

886
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 3: Can zoom in on the camera.

887
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 2: Now, I can't believe Meta is the one making something

888
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 2: remotely interesting. That's so strange. And there's a little wristband.

889
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 3: There's a neural band. Oh but I just took a picture,

890
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 3: all right, Sorry, I did mean to do that. No,

891
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 3: that's fine. Yeah, there's like a little you do the

892
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 3: hand you do it. It uses electro myo. It reads

893
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 3: them the electrical signals and your muscles don't make me pronounce.

894
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 3: So you can use gestures like a pinch if you

895
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 3: want to zoom in on a picture or raise the

896
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 3: volume of the thing you're listening to, you just do

897
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 3: a pinch and you turn it like you're trying, and

898
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 3: does it.

899
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 2: Raise the volume on the phone or only if you're

900
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 2: listening on the glasses, because you listen to music on

901
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 2: the classes.

902
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: Right podcasts, you can listen to music on the glasses.

903
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: Where does where do you hear it?

904
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 3: You hear it on the glasses because their headphones?

905
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 2: Oh what is so strange? This is kind of cool,

906
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 2: Like if anyone else made it, if anyone but Meta

907
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 2: made it, I'd be like, wow, sick.

908
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 3: There are some like genuine, Like it's very genuine in

909
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 3: some respects because like if I get a bunch of

910
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 3: text messages, I have to clear them one by one,

911
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,959
Speaker 3: and it's like I just said clear all, but here

912
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 3: they are all of them up again. Just let me

913
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 3: load of fucking TikTok. Don't shepherd me through reels. But

914
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 3: apparently all I can do I can't even scroll through reels.

915
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,959
Speaker 3: I can only go through my Instagram dms and see

916
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: the reels that people have sent me on there.

917
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: That's nice that they snuck a little bit of the

918
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: Meta experience a lot. Normally they're being trapped in the

919
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: slop yard, even though the technology itself sounds pretty very amazing.

920
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and but it's also eight hundred dollars and

921
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 2: it's on one hand.

922
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 3: Pretty cheap if you think about the like the history

923
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 3: of Smart Class it's fifteen hundred.

924
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: But I'm just thinking what you get out of it. Oh,

925
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 2: the Vision fucking Pro, I think I must be clear.

926
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 2: I like the Vision Pro when I first used it,

927
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: and over time it got worse the point I can't

928
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 2: use it anymore because you can't update it unless you

929
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 2: have it on your head.

930
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: Did they that's the Apple product? Yeah, and that was

931
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: what we talked about that on the distraction a million

932
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: years ago. That was one where I think it was

933
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: like that made you see sick as well.

934
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 2: Yes, it gave me a terrible migraine on a fly?

935
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 3: Is that a is?

936
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: Have you had that?

937
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: Have you had any kind of.

938
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 3: I do have some discomfort if I'm wearing it for

939
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 3: an extended period of time because they're chunky, and they

940
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 3: are heavier than the average glasses are. Like I have

941
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 3: garbage eyeballs, so I'm very used to wearing glasses and whatnot,

942
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 3: but they're they're quite half. I was starting to get

943
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 3: some like tension and pressure towards the back. But yeah,

944
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 3: it's also they run out of battery. So what are

945
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 3: you going to do if you got a prescription and

946
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 3: your glasses run out of battery. You still need to

947
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 3: be able to see, but.

948
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 2: The prescription would be in the lenses.

949
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 3: Though they would be in the lenses, but they don't

950
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 3: support a wide range. It's negative four to positive four,

951
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: negative ten, and negative nine, so that's a no. I

952
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 3: have to work context. That's where it is. Also, it's

953
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 3: a monocular display, which means it's only in one of

954
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 3: the lenses, So you kind of look psycho when you're

955
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 3: just you're just looking in the corner. You look like

956
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 3: you just look like this where dead eyed, and people

957
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 3: can can't see that you're seeing something, but they can

958
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 3: tell you're not engaged. And then if you're looking at

959
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 3: it for an extended period of time, your eye both

960
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 3: kind of hurt. Like a bunch of my coworkers have

961
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 3: been like blinking because it's just easier to see the

962
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 3: display that way.

963
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: So but that looks crazy.

964
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 3: But then you just look like bow By all the time.

965
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 3: I'm in very chunky iris app fell asque glasses, So

966
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 3: it's like, okay, you know, it is very genuine in

967
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 3: that respect. My spouse lectured me for about thirty minutes

968
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 3: as to why he didn't think I looked good in

969
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 3: these glasses, and I was like, thank you. I in

970
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 3: the style section of my review. Maybe I'll just record

971
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 3: a video of you and everyone can watch you go

972
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 3: on a thirty minute tirade about how it's too chunky.

973
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: Was just like, text him about his glasses. What does

974
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 2: he look like? Tell me?

975
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I do I do at times, like during

976
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 3: my day, I have to be like, okay, a break

977
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 3: from that because it's quite heavy, right, You're welcome to

978
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 3: dry them.

979
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

980
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: I assume part of the chunkiness it has to do

981
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: with the ray ban.

982
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's the style, but it's also the text.

983
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 3: It's also like if you look at the arms and

984
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 3: you see how much is in the arms.

985
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, that just one size too launch. That's

986
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 2: what it is. They're just slightly too big.

987
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say that not to counter your spouse.

988
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: They were flattering on you, but they're big as hell like,

989
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: and so it's like, if you're not the sort of

990
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: person that wants to wear that, then like you.

991
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: Have to take my spouse with like a grain of

992
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 3: salt because they're biased they're like, listen, hot people. Ugly

993
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,919
Speaker 3: things look hot on hot people because they're hot, you

994
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 3: look better and every other pair of glasses you have.

995
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, thank you for calling me hot.

996
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 3: But it's like I can't really take.

997
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah one, that one that's recovery.

998
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: The spouse community has similar bits I've done definitely worth,

999
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: you know, like seeing younger people dressed like Jerry Seinfeld,

1000
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: like just being like, well, they're just trying to see

1001
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: what they can get away with because like they know that,

1002
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, they're going to look good in it, even

1003
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: though they're dressed, you know, the way I did in

1004
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: eighth grade.

1005
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 3: And it's also just one of those things where like,

1006
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 3: so my spouse has a prescription so he can't actually

1007
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 3: see and because these don't have any prescription on them,

1008
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 3: he can't actually see the display at all, oh because

1009
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 3: he doesn't have perfect vision. So to him, the display

1010
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 3: was always in double vision like the Halo. And I

1011
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 3: was like, oh, that's that's a difficult thing. I guess

1012
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 3: that's why they want you to have demos and what rest.

1013
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: To Naga right there?

1014
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 2: Yes, that was the vision pro. Like the vision pro

1015
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: is just like those I always said there were minutes

1016
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 2: with that thing that were magical. There were hours when

1017
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 2: it wasn't. Because when it focused and was in exactly

1018
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,479
Speaker 2: the right position and got right and you could really

1019
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 2: see it was like you were like, Wow, this is

1020
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 2: the future. And then all of the rest of the

1021
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: time it.

1022
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 3: Always had trouble tracking my eyes. I would constantly have

1023
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 3: to recalibrate the eyes and I'm like, are you racists?

1024
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 3: This is like an Asian eye thing again, because no

1025
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 3: one else was having this problem of my friends who

1026
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 3: had them, but I constantly have to recalibrate it because

1027
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: I'd be looking at a thing and it's just not

1028
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 3: tracking properly. I don't I don't think it actually, I.

1029
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 2: Mean connects couldn't see black people. Well, so that was

1030
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: the Microsoft one.

1031
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: What is the AI component?

1032
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this has Meta AI in it. So cool, honestly.

1033
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 3: The update I like most is that if you make

1034
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 3: kind of like a fist and you tap your thumb twice,

1035
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 3: it'll bring up Meta AI silently, so I don't have

1036
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 3: to go Harry right off out in public, which is whatever.

1037
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 3: But you can ask it.

1038
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: Question book is using meta Yeah.

1039
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 3: You can ask a question, so they just think you're

1040
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 3: talking to yourself at that point. So it's different.

1041
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: It is.

1042
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of one of those like it's more normal

1043
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: to be like, I assume that she's having a strange

1044
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: bluetooth conversation and not like directly talking to Mark Zuckerberg

1045
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: and asking for a favor.

1046
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 3: So like you could go to a museum and be like,

1047
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 3: what picture am I looking at? It'll tell you. I

1048
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 3: took it to a car show and I was like,

1049
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 3: what car am I looking at? So I was just

1050
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 3: walking around this car show and people looking at me

1051
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 3: crazy because I just kept going what car am I

1052
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 3: looking at? And it would pop up what car I

1053
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 3: was looking at? Wrong? Part of the time because I

1054
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 3: had my car guy of the spouse next to me

1055
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 3: and they were like, oh, yeah, that's a Ferrari insert

1056
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 3: model whatever, and it would tell me it's a Corvette.

1057
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 2: That would be like, it's a car, it's a Corvette.

1058
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 1: That it was wrong.

1059
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: That's yeah, that's the one thing.

1060
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 3: I got some of it right. Just that's the really

1061
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 3: struggled with.

1062
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 2: That's the ad copy for AI. Yeah, it got it right.

1063
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, but fifer of the time model, yeah, like building.

1064
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 3: It really struggled with Ferrari, which was hilarious because I

1065
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 3: was taking pictures where the logo was prominent.

1066
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: That feels like the most conspicuous comperence Italian bias.

1067
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 2: It's very common in an anti Italian bios.

1068
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 3: I could do the alpha romeos though so.

1069
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: Fully selected Italian bias regional. Yeah, I do not recognize Pulia.

1070
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: I've been programmed.

1071
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 2: Not all right, I'm going to wrap us up there, Victoria,

1072
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 2: where can people find you?

1073
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 3: You can find me at the vergea come and I

1074
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 3: am at victim song on all platforms. And I just

1075
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 3: launched a newsletter called Optimizer recently.

1076
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 2: I just started paying for it because it was the

1077
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: only way to read Blob and I needed it. Well,

1078
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: thank you, and now for another publication of pay for

1079
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:00,799
