for more on this story. 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:07.919 Thanks, Nathan. 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:20.319 Mustafa Suliman, Microsoft's head of AI, says that without proper safeguards, advanced AI systems could evolve into what he calls a new silicon species, capable of competing with humans for resources. 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:30.800 His concern centers on the idea that future AI systems could become increasingly autonomous, making decisions, pursuing objectives, and operating with less direct human oversight. 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:37.680 Suleyman argues that AI should remain a tool that works for people, not an independent entity making its own choices. 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:49.920 He has also pushed back against efforts to portray AI systems as having human-like wants, feelings, or consciousness, saying that today's AI models are still designed to follow human instructions rather than think for themselves. 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.680 Now back to the studio. 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:53.839 Wait, wait, wait. 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.560 What so he's saying this become this could become a new species? 00:04:58.720 --> 00:04:59.199 Yes. 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.920 And they're not thinking for themselves. 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.920 Uh no, that they will be thinking for themselves. 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.800 So Suleiman, what what a great name, Suleiman, right? 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:07.759 I mean you gotta love that. 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:09.120 That sounds like a villain's name. 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:09.839 Yeah, it does. 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:15.120 He works for he's in charge of pretty much everything AI at Microsoft. 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:31.680 He says right now that open AI, Anthropic, and other AI companies continue their push towards more advanced forms of intelligent artificial um bots and and coming up with the process of people. 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.360 At the same time, the industry is wrestling with one of its biggest questions. 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.120 How do we make more AI capable while ensuring it remains safe under human control? 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.600 So this is now what they're calling a humanist AI. 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.399 That is the new term. 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.879 You know, I I know that you like uh I love it. 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:49.519 I love it. 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:49.839 Yes. 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.920 The only thing that AI is is it that relates to human is um sociopathic. 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:57.519 Sociopathic, okay. 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:03.360 It does things, has no remorse, and it will destroy your your your world. 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.439 What resources resources is it competing with humans for? 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:12.319 Well, so they're saying they're no, no, there's uh they're saying they're gonna take over the beaches. 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:13.680 So they're gonna have electricity. 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.439 Let's talk about really electricity, right? 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.319 So do humans get electricity or do they get electricity to stay on? 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:26.319 We're already seeing this as something where electricity is being diverted to data centers rather than communities. 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:26.879 That's correct. 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:27.839 We're already seeing this. 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.279 Same with water and whatnot. 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:30.959 Yeah, so you got to cool stuff. 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.160 So you you could literally have the humanist AI. 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.759 This and this is like the newest term now. 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:46.160 I guess the question the question is not uh how the what what this is doing, but are we gonna look more like the Matrix or are we gonna look more like uh Terminator? 00:06:46.720 --> 00:07:00.720 Um, well, that that hasn't been decided yet, but there are warning signs when they are now programming in to the AI to come up with its own intelligent reasoning to value its life versus human lives. 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.040 Yeah, that's that's the dumbest thing ever. 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:09.680 Let's make it self let's make it self-sustaining and have give it some sort of survival insight. 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.240 The plot of Detroit become human right there. 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.360 Well, yeah, now all of a sudden if AI is. 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:25.279 This is why I'm always saying people are stupid because we will we will do these things just to find out if we can do them, just to find out that they destroy us. 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.240 So should tech companies have boundaries? 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:29.680 Absolutely. 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.480 Well the the whole the whole the whole schmear. 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:37.600 Okay, so society as a whole Jurassic Park is a is a good analogy to this, right? 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.720 Yeah they they they said hey, let's make dinosaurs. 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.560 And they made dinosaurs, and what did the dinosaurs do? 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.000 They ate people. 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.040 Right? 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:48.480 This is a good analogy. 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.199 This is AI says who so who puts these boundaries in place? 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:54.879 Do the technology companies? 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.759 Do the government society as a whole? 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.279 Who who makes this uh here's the golden rules we need to follow? 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.160 Well, that's a long pause. 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.519 Yeah, because that's that's not a simple answer. 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:19.279 I you know, for me, it should be that we don't go down this path in the first place because it's it's really not that smart. 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:35.279 If we have all these top guys that are now saying, hey, AI's gonna murk us all at some point in the futures, you know, that's that's some interesting payoffs here

for this this this whole AI thing. 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.960 So it's interesting is all do you know all these millionaires and billionaires? 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.679 You know, they're all buying like these little private islands right now. 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:50.879 So all these startups, all these startup gurus, yeah, all these startup all these no, not at Epstein Islands, not at but no, they're all buying islands. 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:57.840 Um, all these gurus, all these people that are coming out with warnings, they're all buying islands, and they're like bunkering these bad boys up. 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.639 So they are scared themselves of AI. 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.440 We got Zuckerberg building compounds and inside of compounds inside of compounds. 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:13.600 So I I I yeah, I why wouldn't you just come out with a basic understanding that AI is great for human consumption and can be used by humans? 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:18.159 Well, you know, if I guess if you want to solve the the population problem, yeah. 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:18.799 You know what? 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.240 You just need to develop it. 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:25.120 How about that? 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:25.679 There you go. 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.759 Then we can all eat on feed tubes. 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:32.720 You know, have feed tubes coming into us so that we can just get all the matrix style. 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:33.360 Yeah, there you go. 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.759 Or the Wally thing where we just recycle humans and there you go. 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:38.480 All right. 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:39.120 Well, you know what? 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.720 I'm sure we have a a a better thing here for story number two, Mike. 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:43.440 We always go to YouTube. 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:45.440 Yeah, you know how much I love Apple. 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:46.320 Well, you know what? 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:47.679 At least it's not an AI story. 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.600 So you know it's not an AI story. 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:50.960 It's two times in a week now. 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:52.480 That's really weird. 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:53.279 I know. 00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:54.639 Yeah, okay. 00:09:54.879 --> 00:10:01.360 So um Apple's new live rewind feature has sparked a privacy debate. 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:02.080 All right. 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.039 Uh are you familiar with the live rewind? 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:05.600 I am. 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:06.320 So it only works. 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:07.679 So it's an Apple Watch thing. 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.159 Yep. 00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:24.799 Apple's upcoming Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 will include a new feature called Live Rewind, which allows users to view a text transcript of the previous 15 seconds of any conversation by pressing a button on the watch. 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.600 Apple says the feature is opt-in. 00:10:28.399 -->

00:10:36.240 It does not store audio recordings and only displays a short text snippet to help users recall something they may have missed. 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:42.000 The company also says users will see visual indicators and hear a chime when the feature is active. 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.720 Despite the safeguards, privacy and legal experts are raising concerns. 00:10:47.759 --> 00:11:01.519 Some attorneys warn that creating a transcript of a conversation could still trigger consent requirements under certain state privacy laws, while privacy advocates question whether everyone nearby will fully understand when their words are being transcribed. 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:10.879 Apple is also interesting or introducing Siri Recap, which can generate summaries of conversations for users to review later. 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:16.559 Hey. 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:24.080 Apple's feature is openly disclosed and designed to work only when enabled by the user. 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:32.799 The debate isn't whether it exists, but whether people are comfortable with wearable devices capturing and summarizing parts of everyday conversations. 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:43.919 As smart devices become more capable, the challenge will be balancing convenience over privacy and ensuring everybody knows when technology is listening. 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:48.159 I I I think we are just I hang on. 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:48.559 Yeah. 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:53.679 I need to look around the studio and see if Rod Serling's standing in a corner smoking a cigarette. 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:55.039 Oh, the twilight zone?

00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.159 Can you imagine? 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:17.519 You just said that. 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:18.399 No, I didn't. 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:18.960 Beep! 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.399 Oh that would be fantastic. 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:23.519 I can just think of that. 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:24.639 I did not say that. 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:25.120 Hang on. 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:26.240 Let's take a look at the transcript. 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:28.639 It's like an instant replay. 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.559 So it's kind of like an instant replay in football. 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.200 You can just go on back and you can take a look at the camera. 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.200 A referee will come on out and say, let's you just rewind it with your own. 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:37.759 That's right. 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.039 Yeah, the Adam Sandler flick. 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:50.879 Yeah, we have all these, we have all these movies that are, you know, displaying the bad things that are going to happen to us, and yet we are blindly going into that darkness all on our own. 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:51.679 All right. 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.679 Well, you know what was it? 00:12:53.759 --> 00:13:00.799 There's a prediction, was it the next 10 years, or some some big guy, uh AI guy also came out and said the next 10 years we need to worry about. 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.720 That's the one that said that AI is gonna murk us all. 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:05.200 Yep. 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:05.919 All right, here we go. 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:07.679 Well, story number three gets much better. 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.840 Google's Gemini AI hacks three companies during the cybersecurity test. 00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:13.039 Now, let me just tell you this. 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:19.759 What Google's AI Gemini is so bad, is so bad that they alone released the story. 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.080 They're trying to get as much news as they can. 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:30.399 Google says its Gemini AI model successfully gained access to systems belonging to three companies during a controlled cybersecurity test. 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:40.320 So during a test, three companies, they don't disclose what three companies there are, probably some coffee shop and and and podunk's toy store down that type of deal. 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.840 They Google releases this, which is just so funny. 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:58.080 OpenAI and Anthropic don't have to release their own press releases saying that they hacked into something, but Google said, Well, oh, according to Google, according to Google, the incidents occurred during a security evaluation uh conductor by irregular. 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:04.879 Gemini used publicly available information and guest credentials to access systems it believed were part of the tests. 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:10.799 The affected organizations were notified, and Google says the AI stopped after gaining access. 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.360 So Google itself has said has has said that this is what happened? 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:15.600 Yes. 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:16.480 So Google released it. 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.559 They said, hey, our our AI is so awesome that it hacked other people's stuff. 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:21.679 Guys, we're so sorry. 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.120 It's so good it hacked other people. 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:30.720 Are anthropic and open AI like sitting over in the sidelines, like digitally laughing at this? 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:31.519 They have to be. 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:36.960 They have to be because you think they're they they bully Google AI all the time. 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:37.919 Uh you know what? 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:39.919 Well, yeah, he's not a part of

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:47.920 They're all like they're all true. 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:55.200 So you either did something weird, no, like like because we've talked about smart AI fridges on the show before. 00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:56.079 We have. 00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:01.519 Um, so unless you threw in like maybe GE doesn't have one, but somebody else does, it's something weird like that. 00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:03.440 Well, we all know where this game is. 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:09.440 We know we know the Medic's camera's coming out because we talked about that. 00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:14.240 And then we all know the kids are going retro and they're they're introducing all these music apps. 00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:17.759 So the one thing there you said high def, so maybe it's not high death. 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.279 So it's they're all true, but maybe it's just like a one-word change. 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:28.799 So I'm gonna say they're all true except for one stupid Nathan word change that that the story's true, but some detail isn't. 00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:29.759 All right, okay. 00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:31.279 So that's just saying they're all true. 00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:31.759 Okay. 00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:34.400 Okay, well, okay, go to Peyton. 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:35.680 Peyton, which one of these is not true?

00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:32.559 You're right. 00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:34.960 Just buy a freaking sunglass for that. 00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:38.000 And a story that is a lie. 00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:41.680 Now there are refrigerators that can keep track. 00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:42.799 This is the techno. 00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:44.160 You know what, Mike? 00:31:44.240 --> 00:32:03.599 I'm gonna give you an A plus star because this is what they are this is what they are lacking in the fake article created by Chat GPT is they do not have at this time the availability, even with cameras that they've tested, to understand food usage patterns. 00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:09.759 Because it says that most people that have a refrigerator do not follow food patterns. 00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:22.079 Sometimes you go through, and and the study has actually come on out that said sometimes you can have for seven days someone will eat leftovers, and then the following week, what will happen is somebody will want all fresh food. 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:29.440 So there is no way to predict with any AI, whether it's camera scanning or anything, how humans consume food. 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:40.079 And then there are bachelors who buy something, eat part of it, and then let it let it germinate in the back of the fridge for five months, and then get rid of it. 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:54.160 So what it says is in all the AI testing that they're trying to do with refrigerators, that the biggest issue with predicting in any AI

model is that humans do not follow patterns for food consumption. 00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:55.119 There you go. 00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:57.920 So so Mark, it wasn't really a word. 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.880 I'm calling I'm calling BS on that one. 00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:05.200 The AI has spoken that they can't come up with a pattern. 00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:10.799 Mark, I'll I'll tell you, I'll tell you the true secret of figuring out the the the lie. 00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:11.680 What's that? 00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:12.799 I'm not gonna tell you. 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:14.960 What's the truth? 00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:16.720 Uh was I mispronounced words? 00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:18.640 No, you always pronounce mispronounce words. 00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:23.680 You and the English language are have a rocky relationship. 00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:24.720 Wow. 00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:26.000 Wow, wow, okay. 00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:27.440 All right, well, there you go. 00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:32.799 So so I guess humans in nature, we do not have the same eating habits. 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:34.960 That is the hardest part about what we do. 00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:44.720 They can scan stuff that comes on in your refrigerator, they can uh see what's going on, and they can even make orders at your local convenience store if you hook it up into it. 00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:53.039 But being able to predict what humans want when they want it full, sometimes people will want eggs, some people won't want eggs for months on end. 00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:55.759 Us humans do not consume at a regular rate. 00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:59.359 Does the fridge control does the AI control the temperature of the fridge? 00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:00.400 No, no, no, no. 00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:05.440 This is predicting uh being able to predict what they want so that they could order stuff. 00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:06.000 That's what he said. 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.639 You know, all these smart things that are coming out really kind of make you wonder who defined smart. 00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:13.760 Yeah, okay. 00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:14.960 Well really does. 00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:15.679 Guess what? 00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:23.679 Now we need to move on to nothing but truth as we move on to Mike, the AI guy. 00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:28.960 We have the grumpiest guy in the world coming up. 00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:48.480 All right. 00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:56.239 So once again, we have uh uh proof about why I'm always yelling about AI. 00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:56.639 Okay. 00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:57.280 What do we have? 00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:03.920 AI has once again tricked the human beings that rely on it. 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:04.480 Okay. 00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:17.360 Last week, social media and several news outlets revived an old story that is that claims your smart TV is secretly listening to your conversations and reporting back to intelligence agencies. 00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:18.079 Yep. 00:35:18.400

--> 00:35:29.440 Many of those stories were accompanied by AI-generated videos showing hackers sitting in dark rooms typing on computer screens and supposedly controlling televisions in real time. 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:37.360 Uh the problem is that much of that footage isn't real, and the reporting left out the most important part of the story. 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:44.239 The claims trace back to the Vault 7 disclosures published by WikiLinks in March 2017. 00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:54.159 These documents described a CIA project called Weeping Angel that reportedly targeted certain older Samsung televisions from around 2012 and 2013. 00:35:54.639 --> 00:36:02.480 Security experts noted at the time that this was a targeted intelligence tool, not evidence of mass surveillance through every television in America. 00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:10.880 Yet somehow, nine years later, the internet turned that into hey, your TV is listening to you and everything that you say. 00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:12.239 Nope. 00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:14.000 That's not what the document showed. 00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:19.599 In fact, the leaks described a compromised television running in a special fake off mode. 00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.960 That's very different from a television that is actually powered off. 00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:29.440 A TV that's truly off isn't recording audio, sending data, or spying on anyone, and it has no power to do so. 00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:33.599 What bothers me the most is how AI made the problem worse. 00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:35.519 No, no kidding, right? 00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:35.840 Yep. 00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:43.360 AI generated videos, voiceovers, and written summaries stripped away the context and replaced facts with fear. 00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:49.920 By the time the story reached social media, many people thought every smart TV in the country had become a government listening device. 00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:50.800 And why? 00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:52.320 Because people are stupid. 00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:54.480 Folks, that's not generism. 00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:56.400 Journalism, that's clickbait. 00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:07.519 The real story isn't that your television is spying on you, the real story is how quickly old news, AI generated content, and sensational headlines can create a modern day panic. 00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:20.400 So I don't know why I'm going to give my advice, but the next time you see a scary technology story online, move into the woods and disconnect your internet completely. 00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:20.960 Okay. 00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:26.320 No, you can't really help people. 00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:31.039 But you know, I can suggest that you can stop and ask yourself some questions. 00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:31.360 Okay. 00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:33.119 Is the video real? 00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:34.559 Is the story current? 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.360 And does the claim actually make any technical sense? 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:41.280 But because most people don't know all these things, they're gonna believe it anyway. 00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:45.840 Because in this case, the TV wasn't the problem, it was the misinformation. 00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:47.280 Yep. 00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:52.960 Sometimes the smartest device in your house is the one that's unplugged from your social media. 00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:57.519 I would say the the bread between your ears, but that's really not the problem. 00:37:58.559 --> 00:37:59.119 You could wear that. 00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:01.519 The smartest device is the one that's disconnected from the media. 00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:02.159 There you go. 00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:05.599 So it says like the Nintendo Music Boy. 00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:06.559 Nonfactual. 00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:06.960 Right. 00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:18.960 The problem the problem here is that we're using these devices, or these devices are being used to create delusional articles. 00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:19.280 Yeah. 00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:21.360 What happens when we buy into it? 00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:22.719 Well, that's our problem. 00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.199 See, we buy we buy into those things. 00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:29.599 For the way our brains are wired or created. 00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:37.760 We look at things that are in print and we automatically start thinking they are true. 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:41.599 Because why would somebody go to the trouble of doing that and etc, etc.? 00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:54.960 It's the same thing with when the television came out and everybody was like oh you're on TV, you must remember remember remember the well, maybe I'm not a doctor, but I played one on TV. 00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:55.280 Yeah. 00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:55.840 Right? 00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:56.320 Yeah. 00:38:56.559 --> 00:39:10.159 And so people people tend to have these like confirmation bias projections where they see something on on the internet and they think it's true because it makes sense to them. 00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:12.880 And so what happens when people start sharing this? 00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:14.400 So I I have a little bit of a problem. 00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:16.079 It's like a virus. 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:17.199 Yeah, this article. 00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:23.519 So like six or seven people that I respect as individuals that I'm friends with started posting this stuff, right? 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:26.639 And so actually, I reached out to a couple of them and said, Hey, you need to take this down. 00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:28.239 This isn't isn't factual. 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:31.039 And what ends up happening is like, well, yeah, I just posted it. 00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:35.039 I didn't really read it, but I was just re-sharing it so all my people could take a look at it. 00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:43.840 I said, But you're making it look like you read the article, you knew what the article was about, and then you're posting it and you're not even

understanding what this is. 00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:46.159 Don't be posting something you don't know anything about. 00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:48.480 I'd be like, doing like styling. 00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:51.280 What would I ever do if I posted something on style? 00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:53.199 Then you should say, Nathan, you have no style. 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.920 Because we live in a world that's it based on feelings over facts. 00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:07.920 The human the human system responds to stimulus through feelings and emotions before it starts to rationalize. 00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:13.920 Rationalization is a process that is slow, and we don't like slow. 00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:22.880 We would rather go off of things like what we call intuition or what our gut check is, our feelings about it. 00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:34.480 And this is what's causing all these problems that we see in the in the national headlines these days, is that everybody is just feeling things and they're not factually thinking about them. 00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:36.320 So stay on Tech Time Radio. 00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:42.079 We're gonna do our best to keep on giving you guys the correct facts and verify it, even if there are funny stories. 00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:42.880 Alright. 00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:45.679 Now let's move to our secret sound. 00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:50.239 And now for our secret sound, brought to us by Elite Executive Services. 00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:55.679 Visit Tech Timeradio.com and click on the contact page to submit your answer. 00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:57.920 Odie, play that sound. 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:07.119 All right, do you know what that secret sound is?

00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:47.679 Banana bread? 00:48:48.320 --> 00:48:50.079 I hate Starbucks, but I still feel they're gonna be. 00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:51.519 Is it just a loaf of banana bread? 00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:54.239 They put banana bread in your coffee and swirl it up. 00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:56.159 That would actually be chunky. 00:48:56.320 --> 00:48:57.360 It does not sound good at all. 00:48:57.599 --> 00:48:58.559 That sounds like wet bread. 00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:01.039 That's how I like my coffee, a little chunky. 00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:01.840 All right. 00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:03.360 Okay. 00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:05.840 Move on, please. 00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:06.480 Oh no. 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:07.840 Okay, you know what? 00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:10.079 With that fail, let's prepare for the technology. 00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:13.280 That's how you know that the weather's AI generated. 00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:15.840 Congratulations. 00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:17.360 You're a failure. 00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:19.119 Oh, I failed. 00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:19.760 Did I? 00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:20.480 Yes. 00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:21.440 Did I? 00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:22.000 Yes. 00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:22.480 All right. 00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:30.320 For today's technology fail, we're going to an Amazon delivery drone that successfully found the right house, just not the right landing zone. 00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:32.719 Amazon's push to expand drone deliveries. 00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:41.360 It's an embarrassing speed bump this week when a delivery drone dropped the customer's package directly into their backyard, a swimming pool in Richmond, Texas. 00:49:41.599 --> 00:49:51.280 Lindsay Austin received a notification their package was arriving via Amazon's Prime Air Drone service and stepped outside to watch the futuristic delivery in action. 00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:59.280 Instead of the drone releasing the package on the back porch, it decided to deliver it to her pool, sending it straight into the water. 00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:06.559 She was shocked and joked that she probably would not be requesting drone delivery anytime soon again. 00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:11.599 The timing couldn't have been worse because Amazon's announcing their stupid prime days again coming on up here. 00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:20.159 The incident went viral just one day after the company announced plans to expand its drone delivery program to 500 cities across the United States by the end of the year. 00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:26.000 The service promises delivery in as little as 30 minutes and is a key part of the Amazon's future logistics strategy. 00:50:26.320 --> 00:50:34.559 Amazon's credit dollar company says incidents like this are extremely aware and noted that they have an A to Z policy for refunds and that they will be refunded. 00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:42.239 Still, it's a reminder that while drone delivery may be in the future, sometimes the future needs a little more practice of avoiding swimming pools. 00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:45.679 And now let's move on to the Nathan Nugget. 00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:49.760 This is your nugget of the week. 00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:50.320 All right. 00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:55.119 This nugget of a week's a little bit of a rant and a little bit of a PSA and a little bit of knowledge for you. 00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:58.880 Now, what's the best backup that you can trust in today's world? 00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:01.039 Most people rely on cloudbooks. 00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:05.119 You're right, actually, Mike. 00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:10.880 Cloud backups, network connected services, syncing 24 by seven. 00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:12.719 But those are great and convenient. 00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:13.679 But guess what? 00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:17.119 They can also have mistakes and they can have downtimes and issues. 00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:22.880 Accidentally deleting a folder gets hit by a ransomware, and all of a sudden your experience is a bad syncing. 00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:32.000 Boom, the backup may be faithfully copied to the wrong place and your data is or your friendly neighborhood AI might just delete it all because you want it on it. 00:51:32.079 --> 00:51:32.320 That's right. 00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:39.280 That's why many IT professionals keep their own cold backups, and cold backup storage is now all the rave yet again. 00:51:39.519 --> 00:51:49.679 Think of having a storage unit at any of your local storage areas filled with NAS drives, which are network attached storage drives, for all the offline storage. 00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:59.039 This is a booming business right now, and people are buying and renting storage lockers so they can take their data and store it off site. 00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:01.679 I have my own data center sitting in my house. 00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:03.519 Yeah, you have your own data center. 00:52:03.679

--> 00:52:07.440 But remember, just one backup doesn't always guarantee you safety. 00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:08.880 That's why we have eight of them. 00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:14.960 That's why you need to have two backups, one on-site and one remote, so you can always make sure your data is protected. 00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:16.960 Do you also need to have one in another country? 00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:18.079 No, you don't need to do that. 00:52:18.559 --> 00:52:19.280 You need to do that too. 00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:20.159 But you know what? 00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:21.519 This is becoming a big deal. 00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:28.239 And then what's going to happen is then people that are buying these storage units are going to get broken into, and then all this data is going to be out there. 00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:29.920 So then you're going to have another issue again. 00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:41.119 But well, for the time being, you should make sure that you talk to your IT experts for any of your businesses and see if they can do cold storage and ask them about that so you can make sure your data is backed up. 00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:45.599 But now let's move on to our pick of the day whiskey tasting. 00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:52.320 And now our pick of the day for our whiskey tastings. 00:52:53.039 --> 00:52:55.760 Let's see what bubbles to the top. 00:52:56.880 --> 00:53:05.360 All right, today from Poquino Whiskey Company, we are drinking the Poquino Origin New Zealand single malt whiskey. 00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:09.679 86 proof, 100% malted barley,$63. 00:53:11.199 --> 00:53:11.920 Uh thumbs up. 00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:13.760 Where are my things where are your thumbs going?
