00:01:46.319 -->
00:01:48.000All right, welcome to Tech Time Radio.

00:02:14.800 -->
00:02:19.360Now, though, it's time for the latest headlines in the world of technology.
00:02:20.159 -->
00:02:23.759Here are our top technology stories of the week.
00:02:24.240 -->
00:02:31.840All right, story number one Meta hit with record child safety fine after Judge labels company a public nuisance.
00:02:32.319 -->
00:02:35.680Meta faces thousands of similar lawsuits across the U.S.
00:02:35.840 -->
00:02:46.479Another major trial begins this Monday in California, where dozens of states are suing over alleged violations of child privacy laws.
00:02:46.800 -->
00:02:50.240But now, let's go to Jennifer Merrick for more on the story.
00:02:51.360 -->
00:02:52.319Thanks, Nathan.
00:02:52.560 -->
00:03:02.080A New Mexico judge has ordered Meta to pay$567 million for failing to warn the public about the dangers its platforms pose to children.
00:03:02.319 -->
00:03:06.639The largest child safety fine ever issued against a social media company.
00:03:06.960 -->
00:03:16.000The ruling adds to a previous$375 million penalty in the same case, bringing Meta's total fines to$942 million.
00:03:16.960 -->
00:03:26.240Judge Brian Bedescheid delivered a sharply worded decision, calling Meta a public nuisance and comparing the harms caused by its platforms to air pollution.
00:03:26.560 -->
00:03:41.840He argued that Meta's advertising-driven systems and recommendation algorithms function like a factory producing toxic byproducts, with psychological harm and sexual exploitation of children as the pollution that spreads beyond the platform and into the real world.
00:03:42.400 -->
00:03:44.000Now back to the studio.
00:03:50.479 -->
00:03:51.039Oh, it is, right?
00:03:51.439 -->
00:03:55.280It is for anybody that doesn't have a billion-dollar company.
00:03:55.599 -->
00:03:56.400Well, guess what?
00:03:56.560 -->
00:04:01.199Speaking of that, uh Meta just posted its latest financial results.
00:04:01.280 -->
00:04:11.360And of course, from April to June, April to June, their total revenue was$61 billion, up 28% the same period a year ago.
00:04:11.759 -->
00:04:15.599Meta, which owns Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp threads says it will appeal.
00:04:15.680 -->
00:04:24.319The company maintains it has been transparent about safety challenges and insists that the rulings misrepresent its effort to protect teens online.
00:04:24.879 -->
00:04:25.920Okay, yeah.
00:04:26.160 -->
00:04:26.639All right.
00:04:26.800 -->
00:04:29.120We're not doing anything wrong over here.
00:04:29.279 -->
00:04:31.759Uh see, look, look.
00:04:32.399 -->
00:04:33.360Don't don't look here.
00:04:33.519 -->
00:04:40.079Okay, as part of the order, Meta must establish a fund to mitigate the damage of its platform that it's cost.
00:04:40.560 -->
00:04:51.279More than$420 million will go towards clinical treatment programs for affected children with additional funds that will support training for teachers and health professions.
00:04:51.519 -->
00:04:53.920The problem is, how is this money being distributed?
00:04:54.079 -->
00:05:01.439When I looked into the research of this, it's all being distributed through a lawyer company that will decide on behalf of Meta.
00:05:01.680 -->
00:05:02.720So what is this?
00:05:02.879 -->
00:05:10.480Out of the$420 million, how much do you really think it actually is going to go to the affected children that had an issue like this?
00:05:10.560 -->
00:05:12.079I say very few.
00:05:12.399 -->
00:05:12.720Yeah.
00:05:13.199 -->
00:05:22.959So this is fake money that is going to be managed into an account that says that they're contributing, then they'll then write it off as treatments instead of it being a fine that they have to pay.
00:05:23.360 -->
00:05:24.000Here's the problem.
00:05:24.160 -->
00:05:24.560Yeah?
00:05:24.879 -->
00:05:32.399The problem is meta probably cannot do anything because they created the whole system and the system can only work the way it works.
00:05:32.720 -->
00:05:33.199You're correct.
00:05:34.319 -->
00:05:35.759They can't fix it.
00:05:36.000 -->
00:05:36.240All right.
00:05:36.319 -->
00:05:37.040So that's curious.
00:05:37.199 -->
00:05:38.240So you just stole my thunder.
00:05:38.319 -->
00:05:38.639That's right.
00:05:38.720 -->
00:05:39.199Oh, sorry.
00:05:39.439 -->
00:05:40.079So that's all right.
00:05:40.160 -->
00:05:40.720Here's the problem.
00:05:40.879 -->
00:05:42.079We have two things here.
00:05:42.319 -->
00:05:49.519The regulations that make social media now are either going to turn it into a subscription-based service where they can ask for your ID.
00:05:49.600 -->
00:05:51.519So now you're going to pay for another subscription service.
00:05:51.600 -->
00:05:52.240You excited about that.
00:05:52.480 -->
00:05:57.360Yeah, they're already doing that in certain aren't they doing that with these supposed child protection?
00:05:57.839 -->
00:05:58.160Some of it.
00:05:58.240 -->
00:06:07.519Well, no, no, no, because I can still go and create an account right now on Facebook that I could say that if I'm born in 1973, which I am, they're not going to send anything to me.
00:06:07.759 -->
00:06:10.399Well, there's a And it's a drop down to select my age.
00:06:10.639 -->
00:06:14.959There's a social media platform that requires you to upload a picture of your ID.
00:06:15.199 -->
00:06:23.279Uh well, those are those are some that's like the government sites and some of these other uh areas, but none of the social media sites that are owned by Meta that are owned by Meta.
00:06:23.759 -->
00:06:24.000Meta.
00:06:24.959 -->
00:06:26.240Or this is what's gonna happen.
00:06:26.319 -->
00:06:27.439You're gonna have knockoffs.
00:06:27.519 -->
00:06:40.319So now what you're gonna do is instead of having these big companies, you're gonna have all these little startup companies, and Blue Sky was one of them that's still trying, but you're gonna have these knockoff companies, and Blue Sky isn't being regulated by this, they don't have any additional items.
00:06:40.480 -->
00:06:53.759So you're gonna have all these like skunk work sites pop up all over everywhere that will then be even worse because those will be unregulated and there won't be anything in there, so then it'll be the wild, wild west even more.
00:06:54.000 -->
00:06:55.360It's still the wild wild west.
00:06:55.519 -->
00:07:01.120So I I I get I get um yeah.
00:07:01.439 -->
00:07:04.399Yeah I I I I get that this is a problem.
00:07:04.720 -->
00:07:13.040I get that they're gonna try to do thir certain things like impose a 90-hour monthly usage limits for teens.
00:07:13.120 -->
00:07:15.120I I get that they say they're gonna try to do this.
00:07:15.360 -->
00:07:16.720It's all it's all BS.
00:07:16.800 -->
00:07:24.079It's all to keep people running around in circles while they continue to make money on their platform, which is built.
00:07:24.639 -->
00:07:26.240It was built to to be able to do that.
00:07:26.720 -->
00:07:27.600It is built this way.
00:07:28.160 -->
00:07:29.120Watch the social network.
00:07:29.279 -->
00:07:31.519Watch if you watch the movie The Social Network.
00:07:31.680 -->
00:07:39.519I mean, Facebook was created as uh comparing two females if they were hot or not, is how it was created.
00:07:39.680 -->
00:07:47.600So it was it by default, it was created as kind of this uh edgy type of we're gonna invade privacy.
00:07:47.680 -->
00:07:49.759None of those people wanted their pictures posted.
00:07:49.920 -->
00:07:52.560They took them from yearbooks and they post them all over everywhere.
00:07:52.639 -->
00:07:54.399So yeah, I just yeah.
00:07:55.120 -->
00:07:55.439Okay.
00:07:55.839 -->
00:07:56.000Yeah.
00:07:56.160 -->
00:08:08.800I mean, the big thing is is they're never they're never gonna truly be able to do, they're never gonna truly try to do anything until all these fines start hurting their profit margin.
00:08:08.879 -->
00:08:10.480I mean, in a big serious way.
00:08:10.560 -->
00:08:14.639So we think was it five hundred million?
00:08:14.720 -->
00:08:24.480Yeah, five hundred million dollar fine doesn't hurt them, then maybe it should be, you know, creeping up to the billion mark.
00:08:24.560 -->
00:08:29.519So if a billion dollar fine maybe hurts them.
00:08:29.920 -->
00:08:31.759So so here's what I went back to.
00:08:32.000 -->
00:08:41.360I I I I was thinking about this as I'm doing the research of this, is if I go so there's gonna go a little bit of a tangent here, so hang on here with me, Mike, okay?
00:08:41.679 -->
00:08:42.080No tangents.
00:08:42.879 -->
00:09:01.200So if I go on into a local store and I buy something that was 18 or over, like a magazine off a rack, and I walk out of that as the consumer, and there was a cop outside, I myself would be in trouble and the store would be in trouble for consuming that.
00:09:01.360 -->
00:09:09.200So I, as the holder, uh, said that I was 18 and the store didn't look at me and they sold something to me, right?
00:09:09.360 -->
00:09:16.720But I, as the beholder, would still have something that was unlawful for my age, and I would be in trouble and the store would be in trouble.
00:09:16.879 -->
00:09:28.960The problem with this is the person that says that they're over 16 or 17 or 18 to bypass this, if they're found out that they're actually underage, there's no penalty that goes to them either.
00:09:29.759 -->
00:09:41.200But this is but this problem is not exclusively for Meta's uh inability to deal with underage people, it it also has to deal with well, just everybody's gonna be able to do that.
00:09:41.440 -->
00:09:44.960But this but this this lawsuit is specifically for people underage.
00:09:45.279 -->
00:09:45.840Yeah, yeah.
00:09:46.240 -->
00:09:47.840So underage is is the issue.
00:09:48.000 -->
00:10:01.120If there's no penalty for the person for the underage uh process on this, I I I I it's very tough for me to think that it's always on the software company's fault when there's two people here that are participating in this.
00:10:01.279 -->
00:10:03.039One is deceiving the age group.
00:10:03.200 -->
00:10:07.440If they're deceiving the age group, then uh that person itself should be accountable.
00:10:07.600 -->
00:10:11.039So there that's that's um big into accountability.
00:10:11.120 -->
00:10:11.840There you go, right now.
00:10:12.159 -->
00:10:13.519Okay to get that all out.
00:10:13.600 -->
00:10:14.080Oh okay.
00:10:14.639 -->
00:10:15.279Are you okay now?
00:10:15.440 -->
00:10:15.840I'm okay.
00:10:15.919 -->
00:10:16.720Thank you for that therapy.
00:10:16.960 -->
00:10:17.360Okay, all right.
00:10:17.440 -->
00:10:19.919Let's let's let's meta is air pollution.
00:10:20.080 -->
00:10:21.120I I I get that.
00:10:21.200 -->
00:10:23.679I so I'm not disagreeing with that at all.
00:10:24.240 -->
00:10:27.919I gotta I gotta tell you, you know, I haven't I haven't been on Facebook in years.
00:10:28.080 -->
00:10:32.639I I stopped using social media back in 2021, I think.
00:10:32.960 -->
00:10:34.000Well, you started doing the radio show.
00:10:34.080 -->
00:10:34.240Perfect.
00:10:34.399 -->
00:10:35.039Yep, that's great.
00:10:35.200 -->
00:10:37.440And then enjoy a technology show and dropped.
00:10:38.000 -->
00:10:40.159See, as soon as I yes, that's awesome.
00:10:40.320 -->
00:10:44.960As soon as I I we start doing a technology show, I stop using technology.
00:10:45.360 -->
00:10:52.399But uh I recently got on there to to do some just to see what's going on, right?
00:10:52.480 -->
00:10:57.039And they have these shorts that are like 30 seconds.
00:10:57.360 -->
00:10:58.00030 seconds.
00:10:58.159 -->
00:10:58.320Yeah.
00:10:58.559 -->
00:11:01.360The shorts now have ads in them.
00:11:01.519 -->
00:11:01.840Yeah.
00:11:02.320 -->
00:11:02.480Yeah.
00:11:02.799 -->
00:11:04.000And sometimes two.
00:11:05.360 -->
00:11:11.200So in order to watch a 30-second short, now I have to watch a 10-second ad.
00:11:11.600 -->
00:11:12.639And a five-second ad.
00:11:12.879 -->
00:11:13.759Or a yeah.
00:11:14.080 -->
00:11:15.360It's it's crazy.
00:11:15.519 -->
00:11:15.679Yeah.
00:11:15.840 -->
00:11:17.919I don't understand what happened to people.
00:11:18.559 -->
00:11:21.440And somehow we're just consume this and they're like, yes, we can do this.
00:11:21.519 -->
00:11:22.320Yes, we can do it.
00:11:22.720 -->
00:11:27.360And the algorithm is is one of the weirdest.
00:11:27.600 -->
00:11:29.440It's it's like Netflix algorithms.
00:11:29.600 -->
00:11:29.919Yeah.
00:11:30.159 -->
00:11:34.639Like if you watch a, like say you watch a documentary on basket weaving.
00:11:34.799 -->
00:11:35.120Yeah.
00:11:35.360 -->
00:11:37.679You're suddenly gonna get ads on Facebook for basketball.
00:11:37.919 -->
00:11:39.759Yeah, but your phone isn't listening to you.
00:11:40.159 -->
00:11:41.039Yeah, right.
00:11:42.159 -->
00:11:52.000But that's what that's what the you you can't you make a comment or you like something on Facebook, yeah, and suddenly it just drives all kinds of crazy stuff to your to your thing.
00:11:52.320 -->
00:11:53.120April through June.
00:11:53.279 -->
00:11:55.120And that's exactly the problem with this thing.
00:11:55.200 -->
00:11:58.159So I that's why I say it's not just an underage person problem.
00:11:58.480 -->
00:12:00.879$61 billion in ad revenue.
00:12:01.120 -->
00:12:02.159April to June.
00:12:02.480 -->
00:12:03.679$61 billion.
00:12:03.840 -->
00:12:07.120That's why all these people are watching it and people are paying for it.
00:12:07.360 -->
00:12:07.840All right.
00:12:08.080 -->
00:12:08.720Story number two.
00:12:08.799 -->
00:12:09.200What are we?
00:12:09.440 -->
00:12:10.720Hey, let's talk about Google.
00:12:10.879 -->
00:12:13.039All right, what do we got going on here with Google?
00:12:13.200 -->
00:12:14.639This is actually kind of a funny story.
00:12:14.799 -->
00:12:16.639Oh, we're just gonna pick on everybody.
00:12:16.799 -->
00:12:17.120Okay.
00:12:17.600 -->
00:12:21.440All right, so you know, I always get the AI stories.
00:12:21.679 -->
00:12:23.519Yeah, you do, because you're the AI guy.
00:12:23.679 -->
00:12:26.879Yes, and we're having this problem with flock cameras.
00:12:27.120 -->
00:12:28.000We've been talking about that.
00:12:28.320 -->
00:12:30.320What kind of problems are we having with flock cameras?
00:12:30.480 -->
00:12:32.159Uh, everybody is protesting them.
00:12:32.240 -->
00:12:38.879It's tracking everybody and their license plate number, and it's being used incorrectly to arrest people across state borders.
00:12:38.960 -->
00:12:40.159We talked about that on our show.
00:12:40.399 -->
00:12:42.960Right, and they're getting vandalized left and right.
00:12:43.120 -->
00:12:43.519Yep.
00:12:43.759 -->
00:12:46.879Well, Google AI has contributed to the problem.
00:12:47.120 -->
00:12:47.279Okay.
00:12:47.679 -->
00:12:52.000By saying that flock cameras are basically little treasure chests.
00:12:52.480 -->
00:12:52.559Okay.
00:12:53.039 -->
00:12:55.679Because why not add fuel to that fire?
00:12:56.879 -->
00:13:02.000In the today's episode of Tech Companies Accidentally Encouraging Crime Crime.
00:13:02.240 -->
00:13:02.320Okay.
00:13:02.720 -->
00:13:18.159Google's AI overview has decided that flock safety license plate cameras, uh, or, you know, the surveillance boxes everybody loves to hate are apparently stuffed with gold and copper like some sort of pirate's loot chest.
00:13:18.720 -->
00:13:19.039Okay.
00:13:19.840 -->
00:13:24.000Uh how much if you search, how much gold does a flock camera have?
00:13:24.080 -->
00:13:29.840And Google's AI confidently declares that each camera contains one to five grams of gold.
00:13:30.080 -->
00:13:30.320Whoa.
00:13:30.559 -->
00:13:37.039At current prices, that's up to six hundred and fifty dollars worth of gold inside this three-pound surveillance camera.
00:13:37.440 -->
00:13:43.039According to Google, these things are basically hanging on street poles like public savings accounts.
00:13:43.679 -->
00:13:44.000Okay.
00:13:44.240 -->
00:13:45.679Uh, it doesn't stop there either.
00:13:45.919 -->
00:13:52.080Google's AI also claims flock cameras contain two to twenty-three pounds of copper.
00:13:52.320 -->
00:13:53.120Twenty-three pounds.
00:13:53.600 -->
00:13:54.240Twenty-three pounds.
00:13:54.480 -->
00:13:55.120Twenty-three pounds.
00:13:55.519 -->
00:13:59.919Which is impressive considering the entire device weight maybe weighs three pounds.
00:14:00.080 -->
00:14:07.200So that might give you a clue as to the you know, the accuracy of Google AI.
00:14:07.440 -->
00:14:07.600Okay.
00:14:08.000 -->
00:14:12.720That math checks out Flock has invented the world's first quantum density material.
00:14:13.519 -->
00:14:18.799Uh the internet, of course, has been joking for years that Flock's ALPRs are filled with precious metals.
00:14:18.879 -->
00:14:25.519It's a meme, a sarcastic way for privacy-minded communities to poke fun at the cameras they already despise.
00:14:25.679 -->
00:14:32.000The joke being, hey, if they're spying on us, let's get to crack one open and get paid.
00:14:32.639 -->
00:14:36.879Uh but Google's AI, of course, it doesn't get the joke.
00:14:36.960 -->
00:14:37.919It doubled down on it.
00:14:38.240 -->
00:14:40.879It doubled down because it's an AI and it wants to be right.
00:14:41.200 -->
00:14:41.360Okay.
00:14:41.840 -->
00:14:45.279The system cites two sources to justify its hallucination.
00:14:46.000 -->
00:14:50.559Anonymous substack post from someone named do not obey, do not comply.
00:14:50.799 -->
00:15:00.639Always a reassuring sign of journalistic rigor, which itself admits the numbers are based on scrap value discussions, which is translated as vibes.
00:15:00.960 -->
00:15:01.120Okay.
00:15:01.440 -->
00:15:11.840AI generated Instagram meme posted by what appears to be a cannabis grower because nothing says reliable engineering analysis like hydroponic content and weed plant selfies.
00:15:12.320 -->
00:15:12.559Okay.
00:15:13.120 -->
00:15:23.200We now have one AI-powered surveillance company, which is, you know, Google, accidentally giving people a reason to vandalize another AI-powered surveillance company, flock.
00:15:23.519 -->
00:15:27.360If you ever needed a metaphor for the current tech industry, this is it.
00:15:27.679 -->
00:15:27.840Okay.
00:15:28.799 -->
00:15:33.840AI eating AI, hallucinating nonsense, and causing real-world headaches.
00:15:34.960 -->
00:15:36.720Did Google respond to this?
00:15:36.960 -->
00:15:38.799Oh uh they have not.
00:15:39.200 -->
00:15:39.519No.
00:15:40.000 -->
00:15:40.399Really?
00:15:40.559 -->
00:15:41.120That's amazing.
00:15:41.200 -->
00:15:41.600They didn't know.
00:15:42.080 -->
00:15:42.639That's amazing.
00:15:42.799 -->
00:15:46.320Yeah, they get their they get the same lawyers that Meta has.
00:15:46.559 -->
00:15:56.879Presumably it's because it's figuring out how to you know adjust its search engine to become a part-time to uh get it away from being a part-time scrap metal appraiser.
00:15:57.120 -->
00:15:57.279Yeah.
00:15:57.440 -->
00:16:00.080And this is why Google's AI is just a piece of crap.
00:16:01.200 -->
00:16:06.399Stick with the horrible but more reliable open AI and anthropic for your AI needs.
00:16:06.799 -->
00:16:09.600So that's kind of that's what you get out of this.
00:16:09.679 -->
00:16:11.360So the Google AI is just bad.
00:16:11.519 -->
00:16:13.919It is, it is, it is, it is, you know what?
00:16:14.240 -->
00:16:16.399Grok is like the third best, in my opinion.
00:16:16.480 -->
00:16:19.200You got open AI and anthropic that are beating each other up on the other hand.
00:16:19.600 -->
00:16:21.120I don't know how you can even say that, man.
00:16:21.440 -->
00:16:22.879Grok is like the third best.
00:16:23.039 -->
00:16:30.399Google is like, let me just tell you, Google is so bad on their AI that it puts Elon Musk's grok ahead of that.
00:16:30.639 -->
00:16:31.200That's bad.
00:16:31.360 -->
00:16:32.639Isn't that that's bad?
00:16:32.879 -->
00:16:34.480At least grok gives you the right information.
00:16:34.559 -->
00:16:42.639Now it may not uh it may not censor anything and it may give you an explicit picture along with the question that you're asking.
00:16:42.720 -->
00:16:46.399But besides that, yeah, it uh the notes itself, Google AI.
00:16:46.960 -->
00:16:50.080Yeah, Google, you're you're just about out of the AI race.
00:16:50.240 -->
00:16:52.320So it used to be just Google it.
00:16:52.480 -->
00:16:54.799It's now, you know, go to your AI prompt.
00:16:55.039 -->
00:17:06.160So it's interesting because if you see website usage across the nations are dipping because people aren't going to web pages anymore, they're going to an AI and they're looking for stuff.
00:17:06.640 -->
00:17:12.160Okay, so it's exactly the same thing I was talking about earlier when I've checked out Facebook and all this stuff in.
00:17:12.319 -->
00:17:14.720I'm not gonna click on shorts anymore.
00:17:14.960 -->
00:17:18.640Okay, because I know I'm gonna have to sit through a stupid ad.
00:17:18.880 -->
00:17:19.839Now let me just ask you, right?
00:17:20.079 -->
00:17:22.880Because they knew you were a man probably in in your profile.
00:17:22.960 -->
00:17:28.319Did you immediately have like good-looking uh gorgeous gals come on up in those shorts?
00:17:28.720 -->
00:17:29.839Oh, yeah, all the time.
00:17:30.079 -->
00:17:30.240Yeah.
00:17:30.319 -->
00:17:42.799So so so they literally target with attractive ladies, and then not that you've even been on for who knows how long, but they say algorithm man, we're gonna show you these type of Yeah, but that's not my problem.
00:17:42.880 -->
00:17:44.160The problem is always the ads.
00:17:44.480 -->
00:17:45.599The same thing with Google.
00:17:45.680 -->
00:17:54.240If I Google something, yeah, how many, how many don't click on the first three things paid ads prompts comes up?
00:17:54.880 -->
00:17:56.880It can sometimes be like a ton of them.
00:17:57.039 -->
00:17:57.599I've seen three.
00:17:57.680 -->
00:17:58.559I've seen up to three.
00:17:58.720 -->
00:17:58.960Right?
00:17:59.119 -->
00:17:59.920As a normal process.
00:18:00.319 -->
00:18:02.960So you can't get the you can't get the information you want.
00:18:03.200 -->
00:18:07.200Competitors that are I'm going to give I'm going to give AI a shout out.
00:18:07.359 -->
00:18:08.640Ooh, what's that?
00:18:08.960 -->
00:18:23.839Okay, because now if I type in what I'm looking for, like a prompt to Google, it will give me an actual answer to what I'm looking for instead of making me go search it out on Yeah, that's the Google AI.
00:18:24.160 -->
00:18:34.319So you're you're you're you're trusting now, the Google AI that just no, it's not about trust, it's not about trusting, it's about getting information directly from Google regarding what I need.
00:18:34.480 -->
00:18:37.200Okay, like for you know, I was trying to work on my bike.
00:18:37.359 -->
00:18:37.599Okay.
00:18:37.759 -->
00:18:39.200I had an issue with my bike.
00:18:39.359 -->
00:18:39.599Yeah.
00:18:39.759 -->
00:18:42.720And I can Google the symptoms of what's going on.
00:18:43.440 -->
00:18:47.039Hey, my bike isn't starting, the start button doesn't work, yada yada.
00:18:47.359 -->
00:18:57.039And it will give me information that helps me understand what I'm looking for instead of all these paid advertisements for people who can fix my motorcycle.
00:18:57.359 -->
00:18:59.759You know, that's the AI Google summary.
00:19:00.000 -->
00:19:00.319Yes.
00:19:00.559 -->
00:19:04.480It's totally AI, like it took all the information it had and summarized it.
00:19:04.880 -->
00:19:06.559So it could hallucinate some of that information.
00:19:06.799 -->
00:19:07.359Oh, it does.
00:19:07.519 -->
00:19:10.799It does, but I'm I'm gonna tell you to flip your motorcycle upside down?
00:19:11.119 -->
00:19:21.920But I can tell, I can tell, I can tell when something is not tracking correctly because the the instance I'm talking about was I was having trouble, my starter stopped not working on my motorcycle.
00:19:22.000 -->
00:19:22.319Yeah.
00:19:22.559 -->
00:19:28.880And so I'm trying to figure out using AI, using the Google AI, what's going on.
00:19:29.119 -->
00:19:32.720And it keeps telling me that my battery is on the left side of my bike.
00:19:33.039 -->
00:19:35.680And I had to correct it because it's on the right side.
00:19:35.839 -->
00:19:36.000Okay.
00:19:36.240 -->
00:19:38.640You know, and it always goes, Oh, sorry.
00:19:39.440 -->
00:19:40.960Thank you for correcting me.
00:19:41.200 -->
00:19:51.279You know, so so yeah, I mean, I take this with a grain of salt, but my my point here is that it points me in the directions I need to go instead of pointing me at people who want to take my money.
00:19:51.440 -->
00:19:54.559And then that puts up the links sometimes, and then you can click on the links and go find out more.
00:19:54.799 -->
00:19:55.839Yeah, yeah, that's it's pretty good.
00:19:56.079 -->
00:19:59.200That's I mean, you still have to you still have to work.
00:19:59.759 -->
00:20:00.960There's work involved.
00:20:01.039 -->
00:20:02.960You still have to verify what's going on.
00:20:03.200 -->
00:20:03.680Or is there?
00:20:03.839 -->
00:20:05.839We're gonna find out later in this uh episode.
00:20:06.000 -->
00:20:09.599Do you need to spend more work doing anything or do you just trust the AI?
00:20:09.680 -->
00:20:16.960All right, story number three phishing services spoof ring central to steal Microsoft 365 accounts.
00:20:17.119 -->
00:20:28.240Now, the great phishing as a service platform on the dark web has expanded from credential phishing to advisory in the middle attacks, a device code phishing targeting Microsoft 365 accounts.
00:20:28.319 -->
00:20:46.079Now, the platform has been active since at least the mid-2022, targeting Microsoft users in the United States, Canada, UK, Australia, and South Africa and evolved over the years and now targets multiple platforms, including the Microsoft 365 suite, iCloud, Yahoo, and Google.
00:20:46.480 -->
00:20:54.079Currently, it's being sold for$289 per month to the cyber criminals over a Telegram channel with thousands of subscribers.
00:20:54.400 -->
00:20:55.519The subscription service.
00:20:55.680 -->
00:20:59.839Well, yeah, actually, I I'm on that telegram channel myself, so I know what this is like.
00:20:59.920 -->
00:21:00.960So are you paying$200?
00:21:01.359 -->
00:21:10.799I know, no, I'm not paying$289, but for$289, you can get, of course, your hacker as a services, and they give you up to 10 hacking per month.
00:21:10.960 -->
00:21:15.519So for that$289, you get 10 hack attacks against anybody.
00:21:15.680 -->
00:21:24.799And a recent campaign operators abuse the Ring Central communication platform to bypass email security filters on the recent uh recipient side.
00:21:24.960 -->
00:21:31.200Ring Central is the communication platform used by many businesses for cloud calling, messaging, and voicemail.
00:21:31.359 -->
00:21:38.960I know even Mark Gregois, our whiskey connoisseur, uses Ring Central at his company, as I do at mine also.
00:21:39.119 -->
00:21:51.359Now, here's where it has the fishing attack used an email from service at ringcentral.com, but it had two brackets by the dot com targeting users for their service.
00:21:51.599 -->
00:21:58.079The uses used fake voicemail, perform review notifications, and lure the enticing recipients to open them up.
00:21:59.039 -->
00:22:02.559Although the message originated from the unknown mail server.
00:22:02.799 -->
00:22:07.200These have failed SPF and DMARC checks and had no DKMI signature.
00:22:07.359 -->
00:22:22.640They are still being accepted by many, many email systems in our corporate environment because they have not been configured correctly or because they have just generally whitelisted anything from a at ring central and forget the dot com part as whitelisted.
00:22:22.799 -->
00:22:31.680Moreover, the emails include fraudulent banner claiming the sender has been verified by the organization's safe sender list, which helped reduce the suspicion at the human level.
00:22:32.240 -->
00:22:39.519Now it's to be noted the Ring Central recently disclosed this data breach incident, which was claimed by the threat actor Shiny Hunters.
00:22:39.680 -->
00:22:53.440The incident has affected data for a limited portion of Ring Central customers, quote unquote, and we are community or we are communicating with affected customers directly, explained the company in a security bulletin published on July 28th.
00:22:54.240 -->
00:23:07.680If compromise is suspected administrators should revoke all access, refresh all tokens, reveal all authentication consent from Microsoft graph activity and access to the Microsoft 365 service.
00:23:08.319 -->
00:23:15.680So ring central customers be aware all right we've had some ring central customers.
00:23:15.759 -->
00:23:17.839Just dump it all with for pen and paper.
00:23:18.640 -->
00:23:19.119There you go.
00:23:19.200 -->
00:23:20.880Well let's just go back to the Stone Age.

00:25:23.279 -->
00:25:23.519Okay.
00:25:23.680 -->
00:25:27.279All right of wine country all right what are we tasting today?
00:25:27.359 -->
00:25:35.759Because this is amazing is this a high rye whiskey oh let me tell you about it Mike I'm hoping you are going to enjoy this one.
00:25:36.960 -->
00:25:38.480Today we're drinking James E.
00:25:38.720 -->
00:25:49.440Pepper barrel proof single barrel decanter rye you guys tried the bourbon a couple of weeks ago from the same looking bottle but this is the rye.
00:25:49.759 -->
00:25:52.160So let me tell you a little bit about it from James E.
00:25:52.319 -->
00:25:59.519Pepper's website this rye is made from 100% rye a pure rye.
00:25:59.920 -->
00:26:04.160Tell you what I think I'm getting pretty good at this.
00:26:04.480 -->
00:26:09.039You're getting good okay okay keep on going Mark yeah okay so it's in the style of Colonel James E.
00:26:09.200 -->
00:26:17.279Pepper produced it is aged and new toasted and charred Kentucky oak barrels and made using water from their historic distillery well.
00:26:17.680 -->
00:26:24.880The distillery describes a rye as complex and balanced with notes of chocolate peppermint and wildflower honey.
00:26:25.440 -->
00:26:36.319Now of course this is from James Pepper Distillery Company in Lexington, Kentucky it's a straight rye it's age it's a blend so it's it's between six and eight years old in the blend.
00:26:36.480 -->
00:26:40.319It's a hundred no it's a single barrel on this particular one so we're not sure on the age.
00:26:40.400 -->
00:26:43.599I think it's six to eight years apologize for that.
00:26:43.759 -->
00:27:11.680115 proof 100% rye$73 for this particular bottle 73 bucks wow I may actually spend 73 bucks on this this is really good no no no this is really this is a single barrel so they do they do do the blend ones too those are a little less expensive same rye but this particular one's a single barrel so it's got a nice bite this bite's a little better.
00:27:11.839 -->
00:27:22.640This got a nice bite it's got a a bite that lingers you and the bite thing you never changed that has it got a good bite?
00:27:23.359 -->
00:27:38.240This has this this really good upfront uh fruity sort I guess maybe honey like yeah taste right then there's a ryeburn yeah and then there's this really kind of nice long smooth finish.
00:27:38.559 -->
00:27:53.839Whoa I just spilled my coffee somebody uh Tracy can you uh get us a uh a pink my guide a little excited over here I did all right so so hopefully it doesn't ruin your surface you wouldn't want that to happen.
00:27:54.000 -->
00:27:54.799Oh who cares?
00:27:54.880 -->
00:28:22.400Okay I don't care all right so uh Mark anything this this is really good it's really good it's uh it's actually too good um for our show this is way higher than what I'm used to having on the show itself so I I I don't know what what we should do but this is well gentlemen for our listeners know that I've been traveling so we've been pulling from you and your brother stock yeah this one since I did stop by Seattle for a little bit I dropped off Nathan a few bottles from my stock this is one from my stock.
00:28:22.880 -->
00:28:26.400Is this on your top top shelf mid shelf where does this fit on your shelf?
00:28:26.720 -->
00:28:33.279This is like mid this is just a a nice drinking rye I think it's a little bit better I think it's a little bit better than just a nice drinking wine.
00:28:33.359 -->
00:28:39.440Yeah so Mark I think Mark's dastardly plan has succeeded 100%.
00:28:40.079 -->
00:28:40.319Okay.
00:28:40.720 -->
00:28:47.920All right well Mark it's two point that's really fine one to get Mike over to rye because when I first started with you guys Mike didn't like rye.
00:28:48.240 -->
00:29:00.960Yeah and number two it's to have you appreciate good whiskey not the stuff Nathan used to go buy on the bottom shelf no no not used to Canadian mist man he still does I have it right up there.
00:29:01.039 -->
00:29:56.160You see that Canadian mist bottle right up there is that Canadian mist uh he still buys the bottle Gwen's favorite you guys loved it when that when you guys did the Canadian mist when I was okay all right so if you're drinking drink responsibly because heaven can wait Canadian mist you can drink all you want whatever anything else drink responsibly all right okay that sounds great all right mark thank you so much with our whisty whiskey tasting completed let's move on to our feature segment today we have Gwen Wade joining the show what's new in our gadgets and gear well we're going right to it Gwen you're you're you're you're you're ready to go that was a quick point I am well here's the introduction she is an expert in cybersecurity during the day a game board geek in the evening she's a producer of tech time radio or gadgets and gear gal we are excited to have you on tell us a little bit about yourselves to our new listeners.
00:29:56.559 -->
00:30:15.119Excited to be here as always hello to all of our listeners for those who don't know me I've been in tech for over a quarter of a century I like saying it that way now because I can uh I've done everything from support to development and now I'm solidly in the cybersecurity space.
00:30:15.440 -->
00:30:21.359Cybersecurity space that is where you should be that I think that is your your your expertise is there.
00:30:21.599 -->
00:30:27.440All right now Gwen what are we looking at today for our gadget in gear?
00:30:28.079 -->
00:30:33.839So I had to bring something that was just too much fun as soon as I saw it.
00:30:34.079 -->
00:30:34.319Okay.
00:30:34.480 -->
00:30:37.119Uh but I want to ask the listeners a couple of questions.
00:30:37.519 -->
00:30:44.480Sure do you do you enjoy eggs for breakfast but really hate cracking the shells?
00:30:45.200 -->
00:31:07.839Really hate cracking the shells that's that's do you like having toast do you like having toast with your eggs but it's always too early or too late or it pops up and scares you and you spill your coffee no I just if these are the things that are keeping you up at night that are bothering you and you have more money than sense I have the Kickstarter for you.
00:31:08.160 -->
00:31:11.440All right what a great intro this is great.
00:31:11.680 -->
00:31:35.039All right what do we have here tell us more about this uh this is a device or rather two devices called Breakfast Automated uh it's from a group called Cheffy out of San Francisco and basically it's two robots you can get just the egg cracking robot if you want but there is a toaster that goes with it.
00:31:36.400 -->
00:31:44.000The amazing thing is that the egg cracking robot cracks eggs into a pan and then cooks them and that's it.
00:31:44.640 -->
00:31:54.640That's it and the toaster ties to the egg robot and completes your toast when your eggs are done cooking.
00:31:55.039 -->
00:32:09.839So when my eggs are done cooking it sends a signal over to the toaster and it toasts my bread now does it put the bread in there automatically or no you have to put the eggs in the egg crackers and you have to put the bread in the toaster.
00:32:10.160 -->
00:32:10.559What?
00:32:10.799 -->
00:32:25.279Okay but it cracks the eggs it cooks the eggs it makes the toast so that the toast is done at the exact same time as the eggs and when it lifts the toast up it does it slowly so it doesn't scare anybody.
00:32:25.599 -->
00:32:32.319Wow what a symphony of technology working to make my breakfast the same as normal this is awesome.
00:32:32.480 -->
00:32:41.279So it cracks an egg now when it cracks the egg does it cook the egg in the same unit or does it crack the egg and then you have to move that over to someplace else?
00:32:41.599 -->
00:32:43.519It actually cooks it in the same unit.
00:32:43.680 -->
00:32:43.920Okay.
00:32:44.079 -->
00:32:46.799You crack the egg it cracks it into the pan.
00:32:47.039 -->
00:32:53.839Ooh which and then it can do pretty much well yeah it the the pan is on a hot plate.
00:32:54.559 -->
00:32:59.359Uh and then it can do anything from sunny side up all the way up to over hard.
00:32:59.519 -->
00:33:06.160Yeah basically it as long as you don't as long as your breakfast consists of fried eggs it will do it for you.
00:33:06.319 -->
00:33:06.880It will do it for you.
00:33:07.200 -->
00:33:10.559Exactly it will also boil eggs for you.
00:33:11.119 -->
00:33:15.039So you can have soft boil medium boil or hard boil.
00:33:15.200 -->
00:33:16.240It does not poach though.
00:33:16.480 -->
00:33:18.319Yeah but it that takes more work.
00:33:18.720 -->
00:33:36.640Yeah yeah that doesn't that include that you have to then also add water to this device and then have it to a the the boil does include water so you have to put it in its special little thing where you can put six eggs in and then you pour water in the center and put a lid on and then you put it on the hot plate.
00:33:36.880 -->
00:33:43.680All right so you know I'm pretty sure the hot plate's about 15 bucks at at at uh Walmart what were you gonna say Mike?
00:33:44.079 -->
00:33:46.400Well you know we're talking about a hot plate.
00:33:46.640 -->
00:33:50.160Uh I have a stovetop will that will that work?
00:33:50.400 -->
00:34:06.000I think I I think stovetop and a small eggpan a nonstick eggpan will that work that would work it probably won't work I just have to you know you get a pair of gloves if cracking the eggs bothers you I mean we can do this for like 50 cents.
00:34:06.240 -->
00:34:10.079I am pretty sure I saw something like this on like a back to the future movie.
00:34:10.239 -->
00:34:28.079Did you a back to the I think you did well that was the that was uh that was the dog uh can opener and then he dropped the dog food in there to the I think there was a I think there was an egg cracking thing I think it was in two because they were in the future they were making breakfast for everybody and she didn't have to do anything.
00:34:28.400 -->
00:34:44.239Okay okay so you manually have to handle the eggs see if you manually have to stick the eggs into this little cup holder thing the cup holder thing then cracks the eggs and dumps it into a hot plate or a pan that sits on the hot plate.
00:34:44.960 -->
00:35:10.719And it only cooks two eggs at a time and it only cooks two eggs at a time what if I want butter on my eggs oh you're up you're up best creek buddy you have to do it yourself you have to put that in there you have to put the butter in there so you can't have oh no so I get my eggs cracked for me and then what I have to clean the sleeve right exactly you take the sleeve off you dump out the shells it on the plus side the sleeve is dishwasher safe.
00:35:10.880 -->
00:36:57.920Oh so it could have been worse could have been worse only yeah hand wash only hand wash only would be even worse too do you have a dishwasher no I I am my own dishwasher all right when the dishwasher breaks down don't you I'm broken we'll slap you all right here we go continuing on uh this this what you're gonna do because I'm throwing at your face now I'm looking at the Kickstarter page where is this Kickstarter page so everybody can go and find this Gwen you need to go to Kickstarter you can search either Shuffy C E F Y or Breakfast Automated okay either way it pulls this up it's an interesting read they've got a fun video I definitely recommend that everybody go check it out at least you'll you'll laugh you'll be entertained um I I can't necessarily recommend that people buy this but they are there are over 3600 backers at this point they've blown through their goal of a hundred thousand and are now approaching nine hundred thousand and they still have until August 28th so all right okay how much is this wondrous process that will crack my eggs for me well right now there are still early bird specials available there are so if you want to get just the egg cracker you can get that for about$250 if you decide that you want to get both uh the egg cracker and the toaster it's$399 right now.
00:36:58.159 -->
00:37:22.079Wow for$400 I can have something that takes me two seconds so I'm looking at it they removed the funny part that was on there I just looked at the page because we were talking about this in our production meeting and they had somebody they had like the early bird starter for the$379 and then underneath there they had a$499 one which is the regular price and it showed one person had bought it.
00:37:22.320 -->
00:38:09.360Oh he's still there oh he's still there there's there's still one person who money above cents has not only purchased this but purchased it for full price when he didn't so awesome we've got to play full price even though there's 988 of the thousand pre-starters still available at the 379 this smart dude decided to pay full price for this device he is so excited about this okay because he he probably cracks eggs and gets shelves in his pants so the only thing this does is crack an egg you're paying and your toaster doesn't scare you and that's literally a selling point that they have here when the the the toaster when your toaster makes that noise of oh my gosh I was always so scared as a child when I heard that noise go off.
00:38:09.519 -->
00:38:28.000Yes wow I think if your toaster scares you there's more things you need to I think you need some terror I was gonna say I at that point I think you need to find somebody to talk to so my pop tarts that I used to put them back in as a little kid if it doesn't shoot up all the way what's going to happen on that slow rise is the very bottom of it going to be overcooked?
00:38:28.400 -->
00:38:34.079It's just gonna fold over oh no and it's gonna come with theme music.
00:38:34.320 -->
00:38:44.079Yes so if you have more money than you know what to do with and you can no longer break an egg because that is too much labor intensive in your life.
00:38:44.400 -->
00:38:51.840If you if if you need to have that much class that you have something break your eggs for you it's available on Kickstarter.
00:38:52.000 -->
00:39:02.480Here you go all right so talk about first world problem the real question is of this is absolutely something that that someone needs.
00:39:02.719 -->
00:39:32.320And the question is for our audience is Gwen wei's household going to spend 300 almost 400 to get a toaster that synchronizes with their cracking of their egg machine no no we are not we are we are going to be an old school house and crack our own eggs and toast our own toast back in the early days when we used to go to school with the hills both ways upward we used to crack eggs with our hands.
00:39:32.480 -->
00:39:40.159But in today's world the congratulations I'm telling you the world of Wally is coming for us.
00:39:40.400 -->
00:39:54.559Okay all right well don't be talking about Wally and the the ending where that eats people because then we got people sending us stuff that that's I don't care there's a logical deduction that follows that where did the food come from clear is it's clear and Gwen agreeing on that.
00:39:54.639 -->
00:40:21.360Okay all right well Gwen I appreciate that so much for you uh doing this Kickstarter it's actually very entertaining please people just go take a look at Sheffield or breath breakfast automated if you want to see all of our ingenuity of of our people in today's world figuring out a way to crack an egg in a machine this is the machine to do it this is the one and they guarantee no shells.
00:40:21.519 -->
00:40:37.280I don't understand how they guarantee no shells because I've looked at the way that that device goes I mean if if I could get one donated to me I would test it but I also agree that you're gonna have shells yeah if if I get organic eggs to have thinner shells it's gonna drop in there.
00:40:37.360 -->
00:40:44.480There's no way it's not okay all right well Gwen thank you so much for being a part of our show I'm gonna rush out and get it right now.
00:40:45.360 -->
00:40:52.159This is one that I did not back you know what I have I have enough counter space for none of those none of those things.
00:40:52.400 -->
00:41:13.360All right all right Gwen thank you so much you know what Gwen is a part of our show she brings us a new gadget each month for us to review you thank her so much and thank you uh hopefully uh next week or next month maybe you you you may be out is that kind of the the maybe we'll see I think I'll be here next month but in October there there may be a gap.
00:41:13.519 -->
00:41:22.559If so I'll send a gadget to you okay just to make sure that there's something to do okay there you go send send me some robot gadget or something like that that I'll spend money on for the holidays.
00:41:22.800 -->
00:42:11.519All right well we say thank Gwen so much for being part of our show we want to thank her but now let's move on to the segment everybody's been waiting for we call it Mike the AI guy we have the grumpiest guy in the world coming up on the radio that's a my day Canada just gave us the greatest AI fail of twenty twenty six okay and it didn't even come from AI.
00:42:11.679 -->
00:42:19.360Well it did come from AI but it didn't okay it came from a politician who was reading the AI homework notes out loud.
00:42:19.679 -->
00:42:37.840Oh boy So New Brunswick uh MLA Bill Oliver, a former speaker meaning he's supposed to know how speeches work stood up in the legislature and delivered a perfectly normal address until he suddenly announced here's a more natural flowing version of that section.
00:42:38.960 -->
00:43:02.000That wasn't policy it wasn't commentary that was Chad GPT's editing instruction and he read them out as if it was part of the Constitution because the universe loves com comedy he did it later on in the same speech plowing straight through lines like this version should and that section ends roughly as if the legislator needed a director's cut of his drafting process.
00:43:02.159 -->
00:43:09.840So if you're going to use AI to create a speech you might want to be careful of how you read it.
00:43:10.000 -->
00:43:20.800This wasn't a slip it was a full blown AI blooper entered into the official record of a provincial government that no one profread no one skimmed it.
00:43:20.960 -->
00:43:25.599No one even said hey Bill, why does your speech sound like a software tutorial?
00:43:26.800 -->
00:43:34.880Meanwhile the internet you know Reddit, Instagram, YouTube absolutely devoured it because of course it did.
00:43:35.280 -->
00:43:41.679We've reached the point where politicians aren't just using AI, they're accidentally role playing as the AI mid speech.
00:43:41.760 -->
00:44:03.679Now this reminds me of our story last week when uh a certain state floated around because kids were yes Madagascar was floating around and doing things that it wasn't supposed to do because a very ingenious professor put Uh AI secret AI prompts for his kids.
00:44:04.079 -->
00:44:04.800In white text.
00:44:04.960 -->
00:44:06.239In yes, in white text.
00:44:06.320 -->
00:44:13.360And look! This isn't like the Welsh guy who proudly used chat GPT and got long-lived darts in his speech.
00:44:13.519 -->
00:44:14.159That was funny.
00:44:14.239 -->
00:44:15.280That was intentional.
00:44:15.519 -->
00:44:20.079Oliver's version, he just basically read the robot sticky notes and called it governance.
00:44:20.159 -->
00:44:21.519So here's your takeaway.
00:44:22.559 -->
00:44:26.239AI isn't replacing politicians anytime soon.
00:44:26.719 -->
00:44:34.000And because people are stupid, AI might accidentally co-author their speeches if they forget to delete the instructions.
00:44:34.159 -->
00:44:38.719So proofread your AI generated speeches.
00:44:47.280 -->
00:44:51.360So when he's reading that, what is he is he not mentally there?
00:44:51.840 -->
00:44:56.320Because come on, when you you say Okay, so there's a couple things, there's a couple things here.
00:44:56.480 -->
00:45:06.079So people like people like who give speeches all the time are sort of in this idea it's like reading a teleprompter.
00:45:06.159 -->
00:45:07.920You just read the teleprompter, right?
00:45:08.000 -->
00:45:09.440It's just like reading our script.
00:45:09.599 -->
00:45:13.920Well, except for you, because you're always trying to rewrite the script as you're reading it.
00:45:14.639 -->
00:45:15.280Right?
00:45:16.239 -->
00:45:20.719So we have this sort of uh uh put it on play.
00:45:20.800 -->
00:45:22.639Just just hit the button and go.
00:45:23.199 -->
00:45:29.360And so when you see politics, you see this all the time in movies where they mess with the teleprompter, yeah.
00:45:29.519 -->
00:45:35.599Right, and the pip person's saying something and they m they change something on the teleprompter and they just immediately say that.
00:45:35.679 -->
00:45:36.960They're just trained to do that.
00:45:37.039 -->
00:45:38.239So this is part of it.
00:45:38.480 -->
00:45:40.800He's trained to just read what's on the paper.
00:45:41.119 -->
00:45:43.039I suspect that he didn't write it.
00:45:43.199 -->
00:45:54.400I suspect somebody else did for him and handed it to him, and then that's why his brain didn't engage in I shouldn't be saying this, because then he's just reading as a politician does the speech given to him.
00:45:54.559 -->
00:45:55.360So see, capturing that.
00:45:55.679 -->
00:45:56.800That was my that's my second point.
00:45:57.039 -->
00:45:59.519Second point is politicians rarely write their own speeches.
00:45:59.679 -->
00:46:07.519So they're they're taking a speech written by somebody else, and they're simply wrote it, it's just a rote behavior that they're just reading it.
00:46:07.840 -->
00:46:14.400And so when somebody doesn't proofread the speech, I'm sure his speech writers are now, you know, in trouble.
00:46:14.719 -->
00:46:15.039Okay.
00:46:15.280 -->
00:46:15.920All right.
00:46:16.320 -->

00:48:08.719 -->
00:48:14.000And now, let's look back at this week in technology.
00:48:14.239 -->
00:48:20.800All right, we're going to August 13th, 1993, marked the defining moment in video game history.
00:48:21.039 -->
00:48:27.199On this day, Capcom released Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Hyper Fighting for the Super Nintendo in the United States.
00:48:27.360 -->
00:48:37.920A title that just didn't quietly arrive, but reshaped the landscape of the home gaming and cemented the SESNES as the powerful house in the 16-bit era.
00:48:38.159 -->
00:48:48.880Street Fighter 2 had already exploded across arcades worldwide, and the fighting boom in the early 1990s and inspired entire franchises like Mortal Kombat and Virtual Fighter.
00:48:49.519 -->
00:48:53.199But it transformed into competitive gaming when it came on out with Turbo.
00:48:53.280 -->
00:48:59.360Turbo took the moment and delivered something new speed, precision, and arcade level intensity at home.
00:48:59.599 -->
00:49:06.800Street Fighter 2 Turbo didn't just live in living rooms, it dominated college dorms, apartment lounges, and weekend hangouts.
00:49:06.880 -->
00:49:08.000It became a social ritual.
00:49:08.159 -->
00:49:15.679Plug in the Super NES, pick up your fighter, and settle rivalries with a spinning pile driver or the perfect all you can.
00:49:16.800 -->
00:49:18.159All you can all you can.
00:49:18.480 -->
00:49:25.119It's a memorial date in my history as one of the most anticipated games that my girlfriend bought for me.
00:49:25.440 -->
00:49:28.239And it turned out to be the one I married.
00:49:28.400 -->
00:49:29.679That was this week in Technology.

00:50:14.559The segment we've been waiting all week for.
00:50:32.639 -->
00:50:33.440Oh, what's that?
00:50:34.159 -->
00:50:35.199August 11th?
00:50:35.440 -->
00:50:36.159August 11th.
00:50:37.519 -->
00:50:40.159Remember August 11th, 1984?
00:50:40.800 -->
00:50:41.599August 11th.
00:50:41.920 -->
00:50:43.519Uh September 11th?
00:50:45.199 -->
00:50:46.559Would this be the challenger?
00:50:47.679 -->
00:50:47.920No.
00:50:49.119 -->
00:50:49.280No.
00:50:49.679 -->
00:50:53.199Today is Presidential Joke Day.
00:50:53.440 -->
00:50:55.199Oh, Presidential Joke Day.
00:50:55.360 -->
00:50:55.760Okay, okay.
00:50:56.000 -->
00:50:57.119I was supposed to remember that one.
00:50:59.119 -->
00:51:08.000Ronald Reagan was doing a sound check before his weekly radio address and joked that he had outlaw Russia forever and would begin bombing in five minutes.
00:51:08.320 -->
00:51:08.559Oh.
00:51:08.800 -->
00:51:17.199Unfortunately, the comment made its way to the press, proving that even before social media, politicians were perfectly capable of creating their own problems.
00:51:17.519 -->
00:51:20.800Something like a little Cold War humor to keep everyone relaxed.
00:51:21.519 -->
00:51:25.920Politicians can just, you know, they read stuff incorrectly or say something, you know, those politicians.
00:51:26.079 -->
00:51:27.760Those those politicians.
00:51:28.239 -->
00:51:29.760Do you guys actually remember that?
00:51:30.000 -->
00:51:30.239No.
00:51:30.400 -->
00:51:31.920I no, I don't remember that.
00:51:32.800 -->
00:51:33.840Do you remember that, Mark?
00:51:34.159 -->
00:51:47.599I re I remember I remember this uh this speech that he he was trying to do something, and he uh was telling the presenter that he he brought the microphone, so he better give me the microphone and got upset.
00:51:47.679 -->
00:51:48.559It was pretty cool.
00:51:48.960 -->
00:51:49.760Was it okay?
00:51:50.880 -->
00:51:53.119Maybe you guys were a little too young then.
00:51:53.280 -->
00:51:56.960I was uh I was in end of high sch near the end of high school.
00:51:57.360 -->
00:52:00.719I don't think I don't think you know that much older than us.
00:52:00.880 -->
00:52:06.000Uh you you you just may have really just been interested in that whole piece.
00:52:06.159 -->
00:52:10.559Uh I was into girls at that time, so maybe you're in this at this uh Okay, never mind.
00:52:10.800 -->
00:52:15.039Were you in the were you in the the young Republicans club?
00:52:15.360 -->
00:52:21.360I was not in no I was not no okay I'm just curious now.
00:52:21.440 -->
00:52:21.599All right.
00:52:21.760 -->
00:52:22.320Alex P.
00:52:22.400 -->
00:52:23.119Keaton Alex P.
00:52:23.280 -->
00:52:23.760Keaton was.
00:52:23.920 -->
00:52:25.440Oh, I remember that in Family Ties.
00:52:25.599 -->
00:52:26.800All right, continue on, Mark.
00:52:27.280 -->
00:52:27.679All right.
00:52:27.840 -->
00:52:31.599Since we're celebrating presidents, it is fitting we pour James E.
00:52:31.760 -->
00:52:42.159Pepper, whose namesake Colonel spent time at the New York's Waldorf Astoria, socializing with none other than the future president, Theodore Roosevelt.
00:52:42.320 -->
00:52:47.280Now, while hanging around the Waldorf, Pepper also left his mark on cocktail history.
00:52:47.599 -->
00:52:53.519He was credit with introducing the old fashioned to the hotel's bar after discovering the drink in Kentucky.
00:52:53.760 -->
00:53:00.880Whether he actually invented anything is debated, but he certainly helped turn the old fashioned into one of America's most famous whiskey cocktails.
00:53:01.920 -->
00:53:03.440Now, as for this James E.
00:53:03.599 -->
00:53:08.800Pepper, barrel-proof decanter rye, there's no other way to say it.
00:53:09.280 -->
00:53:10.480It's delicious.
00:53:11.519 -->
00:53:19.519So at 115.6 proof, 100% rye, you expect it to come in swinging, but the proof is surprisingly well controlled.
00:53:19.760 -->
00:53:25.840There's plenty of rye spice with the sweetness, mint, chocolate, and oak, and it has a rich mouthfill with a long finish.
00:53:26.000 -->
00:53:27.360So I'm agreeing with you.
00:53:27.440 -->
00:53:34.400Somebody should do that secret sound, because that making 70 bucks, you can go out here and get a lot of whiskey for that money.
00:53:34.639 -->
00:53:35.039That's right.
00:53:35.920 -->
00:53:38.400That's exactly the kind of rye I enjoy.
00:53:38.719 -->
00:53:41.599Big, flavorful, and dangerously easy to drink.
00:53:41.920 -->
00:53:42.480Alright.
00:53:42.800 -->
00:53:43.119Okay.
00:53:43.920 -->
00:53:45.280That's great.
00:53:47.440 -->
00:53:48.639I'm just so excited.
00:53:48.880 -->
00:53:50.000What are you doing over there?
00:53:50.159 -->
00:53:51.039I just said it's really good.
00:53:51.199 -->
00:53:51.440Whiskey.
00:53:51.760 -->
00:53:52.639I'm having enough whiskey.
00:53:52.719 -->
00:53:53.599I'm just kind of chilling now.
00:53:53.679 -->
00:53:55.360Is that is it okay that I chill with the whiskey?
00:53:55.679 -->
00:53:55.760Oh.
00:53:56.079 -->
00:53:56.239All right.
00:53:56.480 -->
00:53:57.360Stop having a moment.
00:53:57.440 -->
00:53:58.000Let's move on.
00:53:58.159 -->
00:53:58.480All right.
00:53:58.639 -->
00:53:59.280Okay, Mark.
00:53:59.360 -->
00:54:02.079Well, we're gonna see how we do on our pick of the day with thumbs up or thumbs down.
00:54:02.159 -->
00:54:05.119I'm sure you're pretty sure we already know what that is, man.
00:54:05.280 -->
00:54:05.760We'll come on back.
00:54:06.079 -->
00:54:08.719I'm already working on updating the website.
00:54:08.960 -->
00:54:09.440All right.
00:54:09.519 -->
00:54:10.639Well, you know what?
00:54:11.119 -->
00:54:13.119Technology and whiskey is such a great pairing.
00:54:13.199 -->
00:54:15.760Just like summertime movies and a Marvel release.
00:54:15.920 -->
00:54:20.639They're always both there at the same time over the last 15 years.
00:54:20.880 -->
00:54:21.360All right.
00:54:21.599 -->
00:54:26.480But now let's prepare for our technology fail of the week, brought to us by Elite Executive Services.
00:54:27.199 -->
00:54:28.480Congratulations.
00:54:28.719 -->
00:54:30.000You're a failure.
00:54:30.320 -->
00:54:31.840Oh, I failed.
00:54:31.920 -->
00:54:32.480Did I?
00:54:32.639 -->
00:54:33.119Yes.
00:54:33.360 -->
00:54:34.079Did I?
00:54:34.320 -->
00:54:34.639Yes.
00:54:34.960 -->
00:54:37.599All right, this week's technology fail comes to us from Tesla.
00:54:38.239 -->
00:54:40.000We're just getting all of our favorites this week.
00:54:40.159 -->
00:54:41.679All right, Tesla Cybertruck.
00:54:41.760 -->
00:54:44.559The data shows just how hard it actually flopped.
00:54:44.639 -->
00:54:47.760Now, the Tesla Cybertruck has been controversial since day one.
00:54:47.920 -->
00:54:53.360The stainless steel wedge design, the recalls, the broken window, and the claims that was a boat.
00:54:53.519 -->
00:54:57.119But for years the debate lived in the opinion land until now.
00:54:57.440 -->
00:55:01.440Some people loved it, some people hated it, and everyone had a meme already.
00:55:01.679 -->
00:55:10.880I call it the Halo truck because it's straight lines like something out of the 90s video games, but we're out of the opinion zone and into the hard facts and data.
00:55:11.360 -->
00:55:14.000The numbers aren't just bad, they're historically bad.
00:55:14.480 -->
00:55:21.679Bloomberg is calling the Cybertruck the Ford Etzel of the Eevee era, and honestly, the comparison fits a little too well.
00:55:21.920 -->
00:55:29.280Elon Musk claimed Tesla had over 250,000 orders within days of the 219 reveal.
00:55:29.519 -->
00:55:31.360Reality was far less impressive.
00:55:31.519 -->
00:55:37.280In 2024, 38,965 units sold, far below the expectation.
00:55:37.440 -->
00:55:42.159In 2025, sales plunged nearly 50% to 20,000.
00:55:43.039 -->
00:55:43.679Even worse.
00:55:44.400 -->
00:55:55.6791,279 of these were bought by SpaceX, so I don't even know if that counts, but in 2026, the numbers are out, and only 7,133 U.S.
00:55:55.760 -->
00:56:01.119registrations as of May for this hugely unsuccessful device.
00:56:02.159 -->
00:56:06.079I'm pretty sure that everybody who bought one just lives in our area.
00:56:06.400 -->
00:56:07.519I think so because I see them a lot.
00:56:08.639 -->
00:56:09.119I do see that.
00:56:09.679 -->
00:56:17.519Now Musk promised starting price of 39,900, but the real truck launched at a price point of almost$100,000.
00:56:17.920 -->
00:56:20.719Now the Cyber Truck wasn't derailed by bad luck.
00:56:20.880 -->
00:56:23.039It was a failure engineering from the beginning.
00:56:23.199 -->
00:56:25.760Overpromise, underdeliver, overpriced, and oversold.
00:56:25.840 -->
00:56:30.639It's now the clearest example of how hype alone cannot carry a product.
00:56:30.800 -->
00:56:34.559The Eeve's era etsel has arrived and the data proves it.
00:56:34.880 -->
00:56:38.559All right, we're gonna go, we're gonna we're running out of time here.
00:56:38.719 -->
00:56:42.400The Nathan Nugget is gonna be very quickly, so let's do that, Tracy.
00:56:43.039 -->
00:56:44.880This is your nugget of the week.
00:56:45.119 -->
00:56:46.719All right, here's what we got for the Nathan Nugget.
00:56:46.800 -->
00:56:51.599AI just crossed the lines of science have been talking about for years.
00:56:51.760 -->
00:56:54.639It has now designed brand new viruses from scratch.
00:56:54.800 -->
00:56:58.559And I gotta get this with James, so I'm gonna have James on the show to explain this to me.
00:56:58.639 -->
00:57:08.800But Stanford researchers used AI to create hundreds of synthetic virus designs, and 16 of them came to life in the lab, able to infect and kill virus.
00:57:09.440 -->
00:57:11.119All right, zombie apocalypse.
00:57:11.440 -->
00:57:17.199So experts are warning this is a major safety red flag, the same technology that can be designed.
00:57:17.360 -->
00:57:22.960Helpful viruses could, in theory, be used to design harmful ones if it ever fell into the wrong hands.
00:57:23.280 -->
00:57:29.360Okay, before before you get off here, you you need to make sure that you say this is not something that can harm people.
00:57:29.599 -->
00:57:31.519This is not something that can harm people right now.
00:57:31.840 -->
00:57:35.280They're bacteriophages, which they only attack bacteria.
00:57:35.519 -->
00:57:36.239That's correct.
00:57:36.320 -->
00:57:50.719But what it's saying is we're now at a time when AI is able to now create stuff from scratch with biological codes, not just text and images anymore, the science can then use to help create yes.
00:57:50.800 -->
00:57:52.800We're one step closer to the zombie apocalypse.
00:57:53.039 -->
00:57:56.880The super venom for uh our Marvel movies.
00:57:56.960 -->
00:57:57.280What is it?
00:57:57.440 -->
00:58:02.880It's going to animate all the flock cameras across America and they're gonna come out and start eating your brains.
00:58:03.039 -->
00:58:06.079All right, now Lolo, let's move to our pick of the day whiskey tasting.
00:58:07.519 -->
00:58:11.360And now our pick of the day for our whiskey tastings.
00:58:12.079 -->
00:58:14.719Let's see what bubbles to the top.
00:58:15.199 -->
00:58:16.320All right, what do we have here?
00:58:16.480 -->
00:58:16.719All right.
00:58:17.360 -->
00:58:18.480We have the James E.
00:58:18.639 -->
00:58:25.599Pepper Barrel-proof decanter rye, straight rye, 100%, 115.6 proof.
00:58:25.760 -->
00:58:31.760I'm curious,$73, so I don't know if it does have a cork, but I'm not sure if Nathan likes it.
00:58:32.000 -->
00:58:32.800You're not sure?
00:58:33.039 -->
00:58:33.920I'm not sure either.
00:58:34.320 -->
00:58:39.920That's for our radio listeners who can't see you thrown two thumbs up, waving around, all jumping up and down.
00:58:40.320 -->
00:58:40.880Sorry, there you go.
00:58:41.039 -->
00:58:42.320How that hurt.
00:58:42.480 -->
00:58:43.679Mike, do you like this?
00:58:43.920 -->
00:58:44.320Yes.
00:58:44.559 -->
00:58:45.039Thumbs up.
00:58:45.199 -->
00:58:46.960All right, thumbs up from Nathan.
00:58:47.679 -->
00:58:53.920I thought you would be bragging today about uh Tech Time Radio had such an impact that they put a hold on the teacher sex doll.
00:58:54.320 -->
00:58:57.599Oh, do you want to talk about that real quick, Mark?
00:58:57.679 -->
00:59:02.400That was on uh it got edited from our show since our show was was so packed with information.
00:59:02.480 -->
00:59:05.199But no, I was just listeners to go check that out.
00:59:05.519 -->
00:59:09.679So if you uh they are they put it on pause, New York uh school district.
00:59:09.920 -->
00:59:16.880Because of Tech Time Radio's 35 million listener audience, that when we're saying that's what we are saying.
00:59:17.039 -->
00:59:22.960We uh we have stopped the sex doll entering into the New York school system.
00:59:23.280 -->
00:59:25.840Nobody does fact checks anymore, so let's just say it.
00:59:25.920 -->
00:59:26.639It's true.
00:59:27.039 -->
00:59:27.519That's right.
00:59:27.679 -->
00:59:30.400No, we did talk about it though, and now you know what?
00:59:30.480 -->
00:59:32.239As we talked about the we decided to make it.
00:59:32.480 -->
00:59:35.280They decided not to go ahead with that that particular plan.
00:59:35.440 -->
00:59:37.280Yeah, that was Mike was very disappointing.
00:59:37.440 -->
00:59:37.760All right.
