00:01:55.680 -->
00:01:58.799We're glad to have Peyton, our producer, at the control panel.
00:01:59.120 -->
00:02:00.079Welcome everyone.
00:02:00.239 -->
00:02:02.000Let's start today's show.
00:02:05.120 -->
00:02:07.599Now on today's show.
00:02:09.280 -->
00:02:12.560All right, today on the show, we have the game show that is sweeping the nation.
00:02:12.639 -->
00:02:13.039That's right.
00:02:13.120 -->
00:02:15.280The famous Two Truths and a Lie.
00:02:15.840 -->
00:02:19.360Are you at home as smart or smarter than our co-hosts?
00:02:19.439 -->
00:02:21.599And can you pick out the story that is false?
00:02:21.759 -->
00:02:24.240So I'll be reading in our main segment three stories.
00:02:24.400 -->
00:02:26.000One is AI fiction.
00:02:26.159 -->
00:02:27.680The other two are real stories.
00:02:27.759 -->
00:02:33.439I almost printed out, as I was saying uh before the show here, I almost printed out all true stories.
00:02:36.159 -->
00:02:36.400Yeah.
00:02:36.560 -->
00:02:42.639Well, I was I was gonna do all true and say which one of these should be false, but no, we we definitely have a false one in there.
00:02:42.800 -->
00:02:44.000Now, and you know what?
00:02:44.080 -->
00:02:44.719I was talking about this.
00:02:44.800 -->
00:02:46.560Did you hear You are not to be trusted?
00:02:46.719 -->
00:02:49.759Did you hear the Starlink now has a phone that they're coming out with?
00:02:50.000 -->
00:02:58.960We did this a month ago where I've put in a fake Starlink cell phone type of deal, and now Starlink has announced that they will be releasing a phone.
00:02:59.280 -->
00:02:59.919I was just amazing.
00:03:00.560 -->
00:03:03.759They heard our radio show and be and were like, yeah, we should do that.
00:03:04.000 -->
00:03:04.319You know what?
00:03:04.400 -->
00:03:05.120I think so, Mike.
00:03:05.199 -->
00:03:05.520You know what?
00:03:05.599 -->
00:03:07.840If they if everybody just listened to our show, they'd be safe.
00:03:08.080 -->
00:03:09.280We want to cut Elon.
00:03:09.439 -->
00:03:09.919That's right.
00:03:10.080 -->
00:03:13.439They'd be safe, they wouldn't click on stuff, and guess what?
00:03:13.599 -->
00:03:17.120They they would have all the great information and live in a bunker like Mike suggests.
00:03:17.199 -->
00:03:20.000Each and probably just an AI generated uh story.
00:03:20.719 -->
00:03:24.080And of course, we have our standard features, including this week in technology.
00:03:24.159 -->
00:03:25.919Our technology fail of the week Impossible, Nathan.
00:03:26.080 -->
00:03:27.520I got, of course, our pick of the day.
00:03:27.680 -->
00:03:33.680Whiskey tasting to see if our selected whiskey pick is zero, one or two thumbs up by the end of the show.
00:03:33.919 -->
00:03:38.560Now, though, it's time for the latest headlines in the world of technology.
00:03:39.840 -->
00:03:43.280Here are our top technology stories of the week.
00:03:43.599 -->
00:03:50.879All right, story number one Microsoft's AI chief warns about future silicon species.
00:03:51.599 -->
00:04:02.159As the race to build more powerful AI accelerates, one of the industry's top leading leaders is warning that technology could eventually become something far beyond the tools we use today.
00:04:02.800 -->
00:04:05.120Let's go to Jennifer Merrick for more on this story.
00:04:07.120 -->
00:04:07.919Thanks, Nathan.
00:04:08.080 -->
00:04:20.319Mustafa 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 -->
00:04:30.800His 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 -->
00:04:37.680Suleyman argues that AI should remain a tool that works for people, not an independent entity making its own choices.
00:04:37.920 -->
00:04:49.920He 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 -->
00:04:51.680Now back to the studio.
00:04:52.879 -->
00:04:53.839Wait, wait, wait.
00:04:54.000 -->
00:04:58.560What so he's saying this become this could become a new species?
00:04:58.720 -->
00:04:59.199Yes.
00:04:59.519 -->
00:05:01.920And they're not thinking for themselves.
00:05:02.079 -->
00:05:03.920Uh no, that they will be thinking for themselves.
00:05:04.000 -->
00:05:06.800So Suleiman, what what a great name, Suleiman, right?
00:05:06.879 -->
00:05:07.759I mean you gotta love that.
00:05:08.079 -->
00:05:09.120That sounds like a villain's name.
00:05:09.199 -->
00:05:09.839Yeah, it does.
00:05:10.079 -->
00:05:15.120He works for he's in charge of pretty much everything AI at Microsoft.
00:05:15.360 -->
00:05:31.680He 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 -->
00:05:35.360At the same time, the industry is wrestling with one of its biggest questions.
00:05:35.600 -->
00:05:41.120How do we make more AI capable while ensuring it remains safe under human control?
00:05:41.519 -->
00:05:45.600So this is now what they're calling a humanist AI.
00:05:45.759 -->
00:05:46.399That is the new term.
00:05:46.480 -->
00:05:48.879You know, I I know that you like uh I love it.
00:05:49.040 -->
00:05:49.519I love it.
00:05:49.600 -->
00:05:49.839Yes.
00:05:50.000 -->
00:05:55.920The only thing that AI is is it that relates to human is um sociopathic.
00:05:56.319 -->
00:05:57.519Sociopathic, okay.
00:05:57.839 -->
00:06:03.360It does things, has no remorse, and it will destroy your your your world.
00:06:03.839 -->
00:06:07.439What resources resources is it competing with humans for?
00:06:07.680 -->
00:06:12.319Well, 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 -->
00:06:13.680So they're gonna have electricity.
00:06:13.759 -->
00:06:15.439Let's talk about really electricity, right?
00:06:15.519 -->
00:06:18.319So do humans get electricity or do they get electricity to stay on?
00:06:18.560 -->
00:06:26.319We're already seeing this as something where electricity is being diverted to data centers rather than communities.
00:06:26.560 -->
00:06:26.879That's correct.
00:06:27.199 -->
00:06:27.839We're already seeing this.
00:06:28.240 -->
00:06:29.279Same with water and whatnot.
00:06:29.439 -->
00:06:30.959Yeah, so you got to cool stuff.
00:06:31.040 -->
00:06:34.160So you you could literally have the humanist AI.
00:06:34.240 -->
00:06:35.759This and this is like the newest term now.
00:06:36.079 -->
00:06:46.160I 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 -->
00:07:00.720Um, 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 -->
00:07:03.040Yeah, that's that's the dumbest thing ever.
00:07:03.120 -->
00:07:09.680Let's make it self let's make it self-sustaining and have give it some sort of survival insight.
00:07:10.240 -->
00:07:12.240The plot of Detroit become human right there.
00:07:12.560 -->
00:07:15.360Well, yeah, now all of a sudden if AI is.
00:07:16.000 -->
00:07:25.279This 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 -->
00:07:28.240So should tech companies have boundaries?
00:07:29.040 -->
00:07:29.680Absolutely.
00:07:29.920 -->
00:07:32.480Well the the whole the whole the whole schmear.
00:07:32.639 -->
00:07:37.600Okay, so society as a whole Jurassic Park is a is a good analogy to this, right?
00:07:37.680 -->
00:07:40.720Yeah they they they said hey, let's make dinosaurs.
00:07:41.199 -->
00:07:44.560And they made dinosaurs, and what did the dinosaurs do?
00:07:44.800 -->
00:07:46.000They ate people.
00:07:46.720 -->
00:07:47.040Right?
00:07:47.439 -->
00:07:48.480This is a good analogy.
00:07:48.639 -->
00:07:53.199This is AI says who so who puts these boundaries in place?
00:07:53.360 -->
00:07:54.879Do the technology companies?
00:07:55.040 -->
00:07:57.759Do the government society as a whole?
00:07:57.839 -->
00:08:01.279Who who makes this uh here's the golden rules we need to follow?
00:08:04.240 -->
00:08:06.160Well, that's a long pause.
00:08:06.720 -->
00:08:09.519Yeah, because that's that's not a simple answer.
00:08:09.680 -->
00:08:19.279I 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 -->
00:08:35.279If 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 -->
00:08:38.960So it's interesting is all do you know all these millionaires and billionaires?
00:08:39.039 -->
00:08:41.679You know, they're all buying like these little private islands right now.
00:08:42.080 -->
00:08:50.879So 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 -->
00:08:57.840Um, 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 -->
00:09:00.639So they are scared themselves of AI.
00:09:00.960 -->
00:09:05.440We got Zuckerberg building compounds and inside of compounds inside of compounds.
00:09:05.600 -->
00:09:13.600So 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 -->
00:09:18.159Well, you know, if I guess if you want to solve the the population problem, yeah.
00:09:18.480 -->
00:09:18.799You know what?
00:09:18.879 -->
00:09:20.240You just need to develop it.
00:09:24.720 -->
00:09:25.120How about that?
00:09:25.279 -->
00:09:25.679There you go.
00:09:25.759 -->
00:09:27.759Then we can all eat on feed tubes.
00:09:28.159 -->
00:09:32.720You know, have feed tubes coming into us so that we can just get all the matrix style.
00:09:32.879 -->
00:09:33.360Yeah, there you go.
00:09:33.919 -->
00:09:37.759Or the Wally thing where we just recycle humans and there you go.
00:09:38.080 -->
00:09:38.480All right.
00:09:38.559 -->
00:09:39.120Well, you know what?
00:09:39.200 -->
00:09:42.720I'm sure we have a a a better thing here for story number two, Mike.
00:09:42.879 -->
00:09:43.440We always go to YouTube.
00:09:43.840 -->
00:09:45.440Yeah, you know how much I love Apple.
00:09:45.600 -->
00:09:46.320Well, you know what?
00:09:46.480 -->
00:09:47.679At least it's not an AI story.
00:09:47.759 -->
00:09:49.600So you know it's not an AI story.
00:09:49.840 -->
00:09:50.960It's two times in a week now.
00:09:51.200 -->
00:09:52.480That's really weird.
00:09:52.639 -->
00:09:53.279I know.
00:09:53.759 -->
00:09:54.639Yeah, okay.
00:09:54.879 -->
00:10:01.360So um Apple's new live rewind feature has sparked a privacy debate.
00:10:01.679 -->
00:10:02.080All right.
00:10:02.240 -->
00:10:05.039Uh are you familiar with the live rewind?
00:10:05.440 -->
00:10:05.600I am.
00:10:05.679 -->
00:10:06.320So it only works.
00:10:06.480 -->
00:10:07.679So it's an Apple Watch thing.
00:10:07.840 -->
00:10:08.159Yep.
00:10:08.320 -->
00:10:24.799Apple'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 -->
00:10:27.600Apple says the feature is opt-in.
00:10:28.399 -->
00:10:36.240It 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 -->
00:10:42.000The company also says users will see visual indicators and hear a chime when the feature is active.
00:10:42.960 -->
00:10:46.720Despite the safeguards, privacy and legal experts are raising concerns.
00:10:47.759 -->
00:11:01.519Some 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 -->
00:11:10.879Apple is also interesting or introducing Siri Recap, which can generate summaries of conversations for users to review later.
00:11:16.240 -->
00:11:16.559Hey.
00:11:19.200 -->
00:11:24.080Apple's feature is openly disclosed and designed to work only when enabled by the user.
00:11:25.039 -->
00:11:32.799The 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 -->
00:11:43.919As 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 -->
00:11:48.159I I I think we are just I hang on.
00:11:48.320 -->
00:11:48.559Yeah.
00:11:48.799 -->
00:11:53.679I need to look around the studio and see if Rod Serling's standing in a corner smoking a cigarette.
00:11:54.159 -->
00:11:55.039Oh, the twilight zone?
00:11:55.200 -->
00:11:57.120Because we are totally in the twilight zone.
00:11:57.360 -->
00:11:57.679Yeah.
00:11:57.919 -->
00:11:58.960So it's interesting though.
00:11:59.039 -->
00:12:04.240So it so let's say you swear at me, and then I can hit a little button on my phone.
00:12:04.480 -->
00:12:05.039Do you know what this is?
00:12:05.440 -->
00:12:06.320It'll go back for marriages.
00:12:07.519 -->
00:12:09.679Do you know what this is gonna make divorce rates higher?
00:12:09.840 -->
00:12:12.559How do you think that it's gonna now get to an 80% over a 70%?
00:12:14.879 -->
00:12:16.159Can you imagine?
00:12:16.639 -->
00:12:17.519You just said that.
00:12:17.600 -->
00:12:18.399No, I didn't.
00:12:18.559 -->
00:12:18.960Beep!
00:12:19.840 -->
00:12:22.399Oh that would be fantastic.
00:12:22.480 -->
00:12:23.519I can just think of that.
00:12:23.759 -->
00:12:24.639I did not say that.
00:12:24.720 -->
00:12:25.120Hang on.
00:12:25.200 -->
00:12:26.240Let's take a look at the transcript.
00:12:27.279 -->
00:12:28.639It's like an instant replay.
00:12:28.720 -->
00:12:30.559So it's kind of like an instant replay in football.
00:12:30.639 -->
00:12:33.200You can just go on back and you can take a look at the camera.
00:12:33.279 -->
00:12:37.200A referee will come on out and say, let's you just rewind it with your own.
00:12:37.519 -->
00:12:37.759That's right.
00:12:37.840 -->
00:12:39.039Yeah, the Adam Sandler flick.
00:12:39.200 -->
00:12:50.879Yeah, 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 -->
00:12:51.679All right.
00:12:51.840 -->
00:12:53.679Well, you know what was it?
00:12:53.759 -->
00:13:00.799There'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 -->
00:13:04.720That's the one that said that AI is gonna murk us all.
00:13:04.960 -->
00:13:05.200Yep.
00:13:05.279 -->
00:13:05.919All right, here we go.
00:13:06.000 -->
00:13:07.679Well, story number three gets much better.
00:13:07.919 -->
00:13:11.840Google's Gemini AI hacks three companies during the cybersecurity test.
00:13:12.159 -->
00:13:13.039Now, let me just tell you this.
00:13:13.200 -->
00:13:19.759What Google's AI Gemini is so bad, is so bad that they alone released the story.
00:13:20.000 -->
00:13:22.080They're trying to get as much news as they can.
00:13:22.320 -->
00:13:30.399Google says its Gemini AI model successfully gained access to systems belonging to three companies during a controlled cybersecurity test.
00:13:30.639 -->
00:13:40.320So 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 -->
00:13:43.840They Google releases this, which is just so funny.
00:13:44.000 -->
00:13:58.080OpenAI 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 -->
00:14:04.879Gemini used publicly available information and guest credentials to access systems it believed were part of the tests.
00:14:05.039 -->
00:14:10.799The affected organizations were notified, and Google says the AI stopped after gaining access.
00:14:11.200 -->
00:14:15.360So Google itself has said has has said that this is what happened?
00:14:15.440 -->
00:14:15.600Yes.
00:14:15.679 -->
00:14:16.480So Google released it.
00:14:16.720 -->
00:14:20.559They said, hey, our our AI is so awesome that it hacked other people's stuff.
00:14:20.799 -->
00:14:21.679Guys, we're so sorry.
00:14:21.759 -->
00:14:23.120It's so good it hacked other people.
00:14:25.919 -->
00:14:30.720Are anthropic and open AI like sitting over in the sidelines, like digitally laughing at this?
00:14:30.960 -->
00:14:31.519They have to be.
00:14:31.679 -->
00:14:36.960They have to be because you think they're they they bully Google AI all the time.
00:14:37.200 -->
00:14:37.919Uh you know what?
00:14:38.159 -->
00:14:39.919Well, yeah, he's not a part of the AI gangs.
00:14:40.320 -->
00:14:41.039Yeah, I don't know.
00:14:41.120 -->
00:14:48.639Well, the tests were conducted in controlled environments, they underscore the growing concern in the tech industry, specifically for Google AI.
00:14:48.960 -->
00:14:59.039Uh, supporters see that as a powerful tool for cybersecurity defenses, while critics warn the same capabilities could be abused to safeguards fails.
00:14:59.200 -->
00:15:00.320The takeaway is clear.
00:15:00.559 -->
00:15:12.720A liar, AI is no longer just generating content, it's increasingly demonstrating real-world cybersecurity skills, and regulatory researchers and technology companies are paying attention.
00:15:12.960 -->
00:15:13.919They're not paying close attention.
00:15:14.080 -->
00:15:15.039They're not paying close attention.
00:15:15.360 -->
00:15:15.679Why not?
00:15:15.840 -->
00:15:16.639Because it keeps happening.
00:15:16.799 -->
00:15:17.200Well, okay.
00:15:17.360 -->
00:15:17.679Hold on.
00:15:17.759 -->
00:15:19.440Is that what Google said at the end of their statement?
00:15:19.679 -->
00:15:19.919Yes.
00:15:20.080 -->
00:15:20.879So I just okay.
00:15:20.960 -->
00:15:30.799So really this is just we're we're watching our AI hack you, and then we're gonna tell you about it because awesome.
00:15:31.120 -->
00:15:32.240Because our AI is so good.
00:15:32.480 -->
00:15:34.399My AI is better than your AI.
00:15:34.559 -->
00:15:34.879That's right.
00:15:35.120 -->
00:15:36.480Three companies undisclosed.
00:15:37.200 -->
00:15:38.960We're anthropon and openai.
00:15:40.399 -->
00:15:42.240The companies were released, it was a big deal.
00:15:42.399 -->
00:15:44.639They didn't release their own press release about it.
00:15:44.799 -->
00:15:47.200They just had the regular press come on out with it.
00:15:47.279 -->
00:15:48.080I just find it so funny.
00:15:48.240 -->
00:15:50.799Google, Google AI is so far behind.
00:15:51.519 -->
00:15:56.399But people still go to Google and type in stuff, and then that Google AI comes on at the end of the day.
00:15:58.240 -->
00:16:00.080I don't know why you're complaining about that.
00:16:00.559 -->
00:16:08.639Because Google AI is so bad that when you get the AI information from Google and you start believing it, it's like believing the person that's 50-50 right.
00:16:08.720 -->
00:16:14.480You know, you got that buddy of yours, you know, that he sometimes he just says everything and 50% of the time he's right, 50% of the time he's wrong.
00:16:14.639 -->
00:16:16.720I don't know that I don't know who you're talking about.
00:16:17.679 -->
00:16:18.159Oh well.
00:16:18.480 -->
00:16:20.399Flip a coin to see if my AI is right today.
00:16:20.639 -->
00:16:22.960Well, that ends our top technology stories of the week.
00:16:23.120 -->
00:16:24.240Next we have the game show.
00:16:24.480 -->
00:16:24.960What's that?
00:16:25.279 -->
00:16:31.120I'm just gonna say that I think the worst AI is probably the best for human consumption.
00:16:31.360 -->
00:16:33.519Okay, well, then I guess we should all be using Google.
00:16:35.440 -->
00:16:44.000Because it it if if it can't do all the stuff that the other AIs are doing, yeah, that means that we're not going to be extinguished in the next 10 years.
00:16:44.320 -->
00:16:50.159Okay, well then I guess I guess I guess for human uh consumption, let's all be using Google AI.
00:16:50.320 -->
00:16:53.840I mean, you can't even use grok grok is like 3x better than J.
00:16:55.200 -->
00:16:57.679And OpenAI and Anthropic are like the two leaders.
00:16:57.759 -->
00:17:06.240And then you have, in my opinion, then you go to Grok for AI, and then you have like perplexity and all these other like hybrid versions way before you.
00:17:06.559 -->
00:17:09.119And then you have Google and then you have the Chiny ones.
00:17:09.359 -->
00:17:14.559Uh wow, some of the Chinese ones are about the same level as Google, in my opinion.
00:17:14.720 -->
00:17:17.920So well, that ends our top technology stories of the week.
00:17:18.079 -->
00:17:24.079Next, we have the game show sweeping the nation, where you, the listening audience, have a chance to outdo our studio.

00:18:31.279 -->
00:18:32.880I was coughing to the music.
00:18:33.039 -->
00:18:33.279All right.
00:18:33.359 -->
00:18:34.880Welcome back to Tech Time with Nathan Mum.
00:18:35.039 -->
00:18:38.400Our weekly show covers the top technology subjects without any political agenda.
00:18:38.480 -->
00:18:43.680We verify the facts, we do it with some sense of humor in less than 60 minutes, and of course, a little whiskey on the side.
00:18:43.759 -->
00:18:59.599Today, Mark Gregoire, our whiskey connoisseur, is not in the studio, but he has sent uh information regarding what we've tasted, and he's got information about it, and he's remote uh again in his traveling, but he's it looks like he's wearing a Seahawk sh shirt.
00:18:59.680 -->
00:19:01.519So he's he he's a Seahawk fan.
00:19:03.599 -->
00:19:05.359I think he's I am all right.
00:19:05.440 -->
00:19:07.039Okay, what do we have chosen for us today?
00:19:07.359 -->
00:19:08.880We had uh yeah.
00:19:09.599 -->
00:19:13.759I am chosen for you something out of Nathan's.
00:19:14.240 -->
00:19:16.400Um, is that why it's so bad?
00:19:17.440 -->
00:19:18.319I'm not saying that.
00:19:18.480 -->
00:19:19.680I'm not saying it's bad or good.
00:19:19.839 -->
00:19:22.160We have run out of the ones I left behind for you guys.
00:19:22.240 -->
00:19:27.680So today we are drinking Poquino Original New Zealand single malt whiskey.
00:19:28.160 -->
00:19:30.400Because Nathan is just so international.
00:19:30.799 -->
00:19:31.200That's right.
00:19:31.359 -->
00:19:32.079Yeah, yeah.
00:19:32.720 -->
00:19:38.640So from Poquino's website, they say Poquino Origins celebrates its unique place in the world.
00:19:38.880 -->
00:19:47.039Made from local barley and given a long, unhurried fermentation and distillate distillation to build body and flavor.
00:19:47.200 -->
00:19:50.720It is matured exclusively in first fill bourbon cast.
00:19:51.359 -->
00:20:01.039Poquino describes it as a sweet and round with a citrus, honey, grapefruit, and creamy toffee, leading into a complex lingering finish.
00:20:01.359 -->
00:20:01.680Okay.
00:20:01.839 -->
00:20:02.000Wow.
00:20:02.400 -->
00:20:09.039And so this is from Poquino Whiskey Company, which is located in Poquino, Wakato, New Zealand.
00:20:09.759 -->
00:20:12.319It is New Zealand single malt, non-age-stated.
00:20:12.559 -->
00:20:16.240It's 86 proof, 100% malted barley, and it is$63.
00:20:16.960 -->
00:20:18.799Is this Hobbit certified?
00:20:20.480 -->
00:20:21.359We don't know yet.
00:20:21.680 -->
00:20:22.319You don't know yet.
00:20:22.480 -->
00:20:23.599Oh, maybe coming out of the way.
00:20:23.759 -->
00:20:32.640I don't know, but I I think I think this is the closest whiskey can come to uh being a ghost and haunting you because there's nothing there.
00:20:33.920 -->
00:20:36.720It has a it has a unique taste.
00:20:36.880 -->
00:20:37.759That's the nicest way.
00:20:37.920 -->
00:20:40.000Yeah, I don't know if it's that hobbit feet.
00:20:40.160 -->
00:20:41.599It's it hobbit feet.
00:20:41.759 -->
00:20:43.440Maybe it tastes like water.
00:20:43.920 -->
00:20:48.319It tastes like, yeah, it's got a weird yeah.
00:20:48.480 -->
00:20:50.160Okay, well, maybe we'll find out more about it.
00:20:50.240 -->
00:20:55.279I mean it's not because you only drink power drinks, so you don't know what water tastes like, Nathan there.
00:20:55.519 -->
00:21:00.000Well, I I do know what water tastes like, and this tastes like bad version of water, but this could be like New Zealand water.
00:21:00.559 -->
00:21:06.240This tastes this tastes like uh old pub watered down it does whiskey.
00:21:06.400 -->
00:21:14.880Yeah, it'd be like the glass was like on the shelf and you needed to make it a little bit larger, so you put a little bit of water in it, put it back up on the shelf, and then you're dropping your shots in it.
00:21:15.279 -->
00:21:16.960It tastes like diluted whiskey.
00:21:17.039 -->
00:21:19.680That is probably the best way to describe it.
00:21:20.000 -->
00:21:20.880All right descriptive.
00:21:21.119 -->
00:21:24.720Well, whether you're drinking water or whiskey, drink responsibly.
00:21:26.319 -->
00:21:28.000All right, well, don't go anywhere, Mark.
00:21:28.160 -->
00:21:28.640This is exciting.
00:21:29.839 -->
00:21:32.160Well, I get to stay on longer with you guys.
00:21:32.400 -->
00:21:34.160Yay! Yeah, I know.
00:21:34.319 -->
00:21:37.839With our whiskey tasting completed, let's move on to our feature segment.
00:21:37.920 -->
00:21:41.119Today we bring back the game show Sweeping the Nation.
00:21:41.279 -->
00:21:46.240And we have the world's most famous technology game on Tech Time Radio.
00:21:46.319 -->
00:21:47.680Let's start the segment.
00:21:48.640 -->
00:21:52.160And now we have two truths and a lie.
00:21:52.799 -->
00:21:53.359All right.
00:21:53.680 -->
00:21:55.680For this segment, this is what we have.
00:21:55.839 -->
00:21:59.440We have three stories that I'm gonna read to you the best that I can without.
00:22:00.160 -->
00:22:03.039Goofing up or saying anything that causes an issue.
00:22:03.119 -->
00:22:06.240You will choose which one of these stories you think is real.
00:22:06.640 -->
00:22:11.200Uh well, two of them are real, and you're gonna try to pick out the one that is false.
00:22:11.519 -->
00:22:12.160Are you sure?
00:22:12.400 -->
00:22:14.559Are you sure two of them are real and one is false?
00:22:14.799 -->
00:22:20.880I promise you have been talking about saying, Oh, I thought about doing all true stories, or I thought about doing all true true stories.
00:22:21.039 -->
00:22:21.680One of these is false.
00:22:21.839 -->
00:22:22.400One of these are false.
00:22:22.480 -->
00:22:23.839All right, Peyton, are you ready too?
00:22:23.920 -->
00:22:24.240Here you go.
00:22:24.720 -->
00:22:26.000Everybody's everybody's on in this one.
00:22:26.160 -->
00:22:26.640I'm ready.
00:22:26.960 -->
00:22:27.599Everybody's on.
00:22:27.759 -->
00:22:29.119All right, story number one.
00:22:29.279 -->
00:22:31.680Do not look at your computers, please.
00:22:32.000 -->
00:22:37.759The Game Boy-inspired high-res music player has raised over$500,000 on Kickstarter.
00:22:37.839 -->
00:22:40.000People are clamoring for dumber tech.
00:22:40.400 -->
00:22:47.359In recent years, the tech landscape has seen a rise in dumb devices that aim for minimalist and offline capabilities.
00:22:47.519 -->
00:22:54.960From flip phones and rejected social media to uh focused music players, simplified tech is making a comeback.
00:22:55.039 -->
00:23:08.400This trend is clearly seen with the popularity of the AP30 Music Boys Kickstarter campaign, an audio player that draws heavily on inspiration from the aesthetics of the Game Boy without the high res specs.
00:23:08.720 -->
00:23:17.680Slated to start shipping this October, the device is the latest project from HisDaz, a brand that previously launched several other successful Kickstarter campaigns.
00:23:18.000 -->
00:23:24.720The technology has advanced over the years, but it's becoming increasingly intrusive in every aspect of our lives.
00:23:24.880 -->
00:23:30.079There's a reason for vintage iPods have stormed recently with music tied to other smartphones.
00:23:30.160 -->
00:23:34.400It's hard for a listening session to feel so singularity.
00:23:34.720 -->
00:23:38.319But the Music Boy Kickstarter summarizes this phenomenon.
00:23:38.480 -->
00:23:43.519Smartphones killed the dedicated music player, but they're all coming on back with a music boy.
00:23:43.599 -->
00:23:50.799So essentially, Music Boy is a Kickstarter that is just a don't claim the article, just read it.
00:23:51.039 -->
00:23:52.319It just sounds way too real.
00:23:52.559 -->
00:23:54.240Okay, something I would buy.
00:23:54.480 -->
00:23:54.799All right.
00:23:54.880 -->
00:23:58.400Well, you know, at the very end of this article, which I didn't read.
00:23:58.720 -->
00:24:06.720It's a part of the broader trend, particularly with Gen Zs who love Y2K fashion and the retro aesthetics are well documented.
00:24:06.799 -->
00:24:10.079And they are increasingly asking for these type of devices.
00:24:10.240 -->
00:24:11.440Don't be looking at your phone.
00:24:11.599 -->
00:24:12.799Put your phone down.
00:24:13.119 -->
00:24:14.400Put your phone down.
00:24:14.720 -->
00:24:15.680Did you just cheat?
00:24:15.839 -->
00:24:16.319I did not.
00:24:16.480 -->
00:24:17.279All right, here we go.
00:24:17.440 -->
00:24:20.559Next question or next um story.
00:24:21.119 -->
00:24:25.920AI-powered refrigerators are starting to predict what families need before they ask.
00:24:26.240 -->
00:24:34.720As our artificial intelligence continues to find into household appliances, manufacturers are exploring new ways to turn everyday devices into proactive assistance.
00:24:34.960 -->
00:24:44.400One emerging concept gaining attention is the AI-powered refrigerator designed to monitor food usage patterns and anticipate household needs before our supplies run low.
00:24:44.559 -->
00:24:58.400According to developers, the technology analyzed factors such as consumption-based habits, seasonal trends, local weather conditions, and shopping behaviors to generate personalized recommendations and order those directly from the supermarkets themselves.
00:24:58.880 -->
00:25:02.799Early testing has reported products surprising results.
00:25:02.880 -->
00:25:14.079In several pilot homes, the system uh predicted uh accurately predicted increases in demand for items such as bottled water ahead of heat waves and comfort foods during periods of severe weather.
00:25:14.400 -->
00:25:22.559Researchers say this type of predictive technology is the part of the new smartphone voice assistance today and the new GE refrigerators.
00:25:23.200 -->
00:25:24.880Okay, that was story number two.
00:25:25.119 -->
00:25:29.920And number three story Meta's smart glass privacy debate heats up.
00:25:30.160 -->
00:25:46.079Meta's executive Andrew Bosworth recently defended its company's Ray-Ban smart glasses, arguing that most users wear them responsibly, and that the current concerns that have been driven by a small number of bad actors pointing to the bands of glasses should be reversed.
00:25:46.319 -->
00:25:50.480Critics, however, say the privacy concern isn't about the most people use the glasses.
00:25:50.640 -->
00:25:56.640Unlike a smartphone, while recording is obvious, really, a smartphone is not obvious when it's in your pocket recording, but whatever.
00:25:56.799 -->
00:25:58.880Smart glasses are designed to be less noticeable.
00:25:59.039 -->
00:26:04.160Privacy advocates urge that they are convenient and discreet recording devices.
00:26:04.319 -->
00:26:10.720The debate continues to report as Meta has unveiled a camera-free version of its smart glass later this month.
00:26:10.880 -->
00:26:16.240So you can get smart glasses for your phone from Meta coming on out that doesn't have a camera.
00:26:16.400 -->
00:26:17.759Why would you okay?
00:26:18.000 -->
00:26:30.559Well, with Meta's Connect event approaching, the industry will be watching closely to see whether the future of smart glasses, including cameras, microphones, uh are a completely different approach to balancing convenience and privacy.
00:26:30.880 -->
00:26:33.759So they're all real stories.
00:26:33.839 -->
00:26:34.559None of them are fake.
00:26:36.720 -->
00:26:38.079I don't understand this last one.
00:26:38.240 -->
00:26:39.359What you're what the story is.
00:26:39.599 -->
00:26:46.799So they're now gonna be producing meta smart glasses, or they're now gonna produce a smart glass that doesn't have a camera to record.
00:26:47.119 -->
00:26:47.440Right.
00:26:47.680 -->
00:26:48.880Okay, so that was the story.
00:26:49.440 -->
00:26:51.920Well well, it's just Ray-Ban glasses at that point.
00:26:52.079 -->
00:26:54.400Well, so it's just straight up Ray Basses.
00:26:54.480 -->
00:26:55.759Yeah, so you got Ray Ban glasses?
00:26:55.839 -->
00:26:56.880But what I mean, what good is that?
00:26:57.359 -->
00:26:58.240With a microphone.
00:26:58.400 -->
00:26:59.680Well, no, well, no.
00:26:59.839 -->
00:27:01.839Oh, I guess yeah, without recording devices.
00:27:01.920 -->
00:27:03.359No, without recording devices.
00:27:03.680 -->
00:27:04.160Well, okay.
00:27:04.480 -->
00:27:08.079So you wouldn't have the microphone or the camera, but I guess you'd have like overlays.
00:27:09.039 -->
00:27:10.720You'd have your overlays in there.
00:27:10.960 -->
00:27:13.359Uh AI-powered refrigerators by GE.
00:27:13.680 -->
00:27:14.000Hold on.
00:27:14.160 -->
00:27:18.079I have like my cyberpunk style overlays over my eyeballs.
00:27:18.160 -->
00:27:20.799I can't record anything, but I can see what the weather is on my glasses.
00:27:21.039 -->
00:27:21.519I guess so.
00:27:21.599 -->
00:27:21.839Yeah.
00:27:22.000 -->
00:27:22.400There you go.
00:27:22.559 -->
00:27:23.200I guess so.
00:27:23.359 -->
00:27:23.839All right.
00:27:24.079 -->
00:27:30.079Now, I I do want to again say I cannot believe that Starlink came out with a cell phone, and I had that on the show.
00:27:30.160 -->
00:27:32.720I was just a month uh ahead of time for announcing that.
00:27:32.799 -->
00:27:33.359But what?
00:27:33.519 -->
00:27:35.920We're gonna go here to uh Mark first.
00:27:36.480 -->
00:27:38.000So, Mark, we're gonna go to you first.
00:27:38.079 -->
00:27:44.319Which we got a Game Boy inspired high-res music, AI powered refrigerators, or smart glass privacy debate.
00:27:44.400 -->
00:27:45.599Which one of these is incorrect?
00:27:46.000 -->
00:27:47.920They're all like they're all true.
00:27:48.079 -->
00:27:55.200So you either did something weird, no, like like because we've talked about smart AI fridges on the show before.
00:27:55.440 -->
00:27:56.079We have.
00:27:56.559 -->
00:28:01.519Um, 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 -->
00:28:03.440Well, we all know where this game is.
00:28:03.759 -->
00:28:09.440We know we know the Medic's camera's coming out because we talked about that.
00:28:09.759 -->
00:28:14.240And then we all know the kids are going retro and they're they're introducing all these music apps.
00:28:14.319 -->
00:28:17.759So the one thing there you said high def, so maybe it's not high death.
00:28:18.000 -->
00:28:21.279So it's they're all true, but maybe it's just like a one-word change.
00:28:21.440 -->
00:28:28.799So 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 -->
00:28:29.759All right, okay.
00:28:29.839 -->
00:28:31.279So that's just saying they're all true.
00:28:31.440 -->
00:28:31.759Okay.
00:28:31.920 -->
00:28:34.400Okay, well, okay, go to Peyton.
00:28:34.480 -->
00:28:35.680Peyton, which one of these is not true?
00:28:35.920 -->
00:28:38.079I think the retro device is extremely true.
00:28:38.319 -->
00:28:38.559Okay.
00:28:38.720 -->
00:28:41.039I hope AI and fridge aren't in the same sentence.
00:28:41.200 -->
00:28:43.119That just sounds like we've talked about it on the show.
00:28:43.279 -->
00:28:43.839That's a terrible.
00:28:44.079 -->
00:28:46.000I don't know if it cuts the power.
00:28:46.240 -->
00:28:48.960CS CES uh did a demo of this.
00:28:49.119 -->
00:28:49.759That is correct.
00:28:50.000 -->
00:28:52.000Okay, and then Ray-Ban is.
00:28:52.480 -->
00:28:53.680I gotta go with Ray-Ban.
00:28:53.759 -->
00:28:55.359That's the only one I could possibly see.
00:28:55.599 -->
00:28:56.480What do you mean, Ray Ban?
00:28:56.559 -->
00:28:57.519Is that what's Rayban?
00:28:57.839 -->
00:28:58.240The glasses.
00:28:58.480 -->
00:28:59.200That's the smart glasses.
00:28:59.359 -->
00:29:01.440So that's who makes the the smart glasses for meta?
00:29:01.920 -->
00:29:04.079It's a yeah, it's a big company, Ray-Ban is.
00:29:04.400 -->
00:29:05.119I didn't know what to do.
00:29:05.279 -->
00:29:09.279Why would you make glasses though that don't do the function that they were made to do?
00:29:09.759 -->
00:29:11.200Well, that's been all over the news.
00:29:11.440 -->
00:29:11.759Okay.
00:29:11.920 -->
00:29:12.559Alright, okay.
00:29:12.640 -->
00:29:13.599So which one did you choose?
00:29:13.680 -->
00:29:14.240You chose the glasses.
00:29:14.400 -->
00:29:15.200I'm gonna go with the glasses.
00:29:15.359 -->
00:29:16.799Alright, Mike, what'd you choose?
00:29:17.039 -->
00:29:19.359I'm gonna go with the fridge thing.
00:29:19.680 -->
00:29:20.640Wow, okay.
00:29:20.799 -->
00:29:21.200So here's the thing.
00:29:21.519 -->
00:29:22.880Simply, here's the deal.
00:29:23.039 -->
00:29:23.519Yeah.
00:29:23.839 -->
00:29:29.200First off, I don't know how my fridge is going to be able to track my leftovers.
00:29:29.440 -->
00:29:41.759Unless I all unless I obviously go, hello fridge, I'm putting one quarter of unused beef back into your into your pocket universe here.
00:29:42.799 -->
00:29:42.960Okay.
00:29:43.680 -->
00:29:49.119And in order for it to track stuff, it has to understand what's being put into it.
00:29:49.359 -->
00:29:49.599Okay.
00:29:49.920 -->
00:29:52.880So there was a thing that was supposed to do that, remember?
00:29:53.200 -->
00:30:01.119Am I gonna have to have am I gonna have to have scanner bars on the fridge that I have to scan everything in and out of the fridge for it to track my usage?
00:30:01.599 -->
00:30:02.960So I'm gonna go with that.
00:30:03.119 -->
00:30:12.480There's some other cute little ways that I think this is probably the false one, but I'm gonna leave that alone because I think that's a funny I think that's a funny one.
00:30:12.720 -->
00:30:13.039Okay.
00:30:13.200 -->
00:30:14.240All right, okay.
00:30:14.559 -->
00:30:18.559So you at home, did you pick your article?
00:30:18.799 -->
00:30:21.119Let's start out with one that is true first.
00:30:21.359 -->
00:30:26.240The Game Boy expired high-res music player has raised over$500,000 on Kickstarter.
00:30:26.400 -->
00:30:27.839Um, that is correct.
00:30:28.000 -->
00:30:31.759So there is a uh simple looking Game Boy.
00:30:31.839 -->
00:30:32.480You can look it up now.
00:30:33.039 -->
00:30:33.519I'm on it.
00:30:34.079 -->
00:30:41.839They can still back it at the late uh as a late backer, but it looks like a Game Boy with no high-res specs.
00:30:41.920 -->
00:30:52.240All you do is you plug it in, you put your music into it, like an MP3 player you can find on Amazon for like$15, and boom, it's ready to go there with just no basic.
00:30:52.319 -->
00:30:54.319It looks like a little egg-shaped device when you look at the bigger.
00:30:54.480 -->
00:30:55.599So it's a freaking iPod.
00:30:55.680 -->
00:30:55.920Yep.
00:30:56.000 -->
00:31:00.000Look for the AP30 music uh boys Kickstarter camping.
00:31:00.160 -->
00:31:02.640It's like a looks it looks like an egg.
00:31:02.799 -->
00:31:04.720I'm so sorry if this company is listening to us.
00:31:04.880 -->
00:31:10.319It kind of looks like a discount retro device you'd buy off of Amazon for like 20 bucks for your kid.
00:31:10.480 -->
00:31:12.319It is, yeah, and they're charging a lot of money for it.
00:31:12.400 -->
00:31:13.119That's exactly what it is.
00:31:13.920 -->
00:31:15.039It's a Nintendo iPod.
00:31:15.440 -->
00:31:16.079Essentially.
00:31:16.319 -->
00:31:17.519All right, so that is correct.
00:31:17.680 -->
00:31:25.519All right, the next thing that's coming on up here, we're gonna do the next correct meta smart glasses privacy debate heats up.
00:31:25.599 -->
00:31:31.279Is is they are now gonna sell glasses without a camera and without a microphone.
00:31:31.440 -->
00:31:32.079What the heck?
00:31:32.160 -->
00:31:32.559You're right.
00:31:32.640 -->
00:31:34.960Just buy a freaking sunglass for that.
00:31:35.039 -->
00:31:38.000And a story that is a lie.
00:31:38.400 -->
00:31:41.680Now there are refrigerators that can keep track.
00:31:41.920 -->
00:31:42.799This is the techno.
00:31:43.279 -->
00:31:44.160You know what, Mike?
00:31:44.240 -->
00:32:03.599I'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 -->
00:32:09.759Because it says that most people that have a refrigerator do not follow food patterns.
00:32:10.000 -->
00:32:22.079Sometimes 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 -->
00:32:29.440So there is no way to predict with any AI, whether it's camera scanning or anything, how humans consume food.
00:32:29.920 -->
00:32:40.079And 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 -->
00:32:54.160So 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 -->
00:32:55.119There you go.
00:32:55.279 -->
00:32:57.920So so Mark, it wasn't really a word.
00:32:58.640 -->
00:33:00.880I'm calling I'm calling BS on that one.
00:33:02.160 -->
00:33:05.200The AI has spoken that they can't come up with a pattern.
00:33:05.920 -->
00:33:10.799Mark, I'll I'll tell you, I'll tell you the true secret of figuring out the the the lie.
00:33:11.039 -->
00:33:11.680What's that?
00:33:11.839 -->
00:33:12.799I'm not gonna tell you.
00:33:14.160 -->
00:33:14.960What's the truth?
00:33:15.039 -->
00:33:16.720Uh was I mispronounced words?
00:33:16.880 -->
00:33:18.640No, you always pronounce mispronounce words.
00:33:19.519 -->
00:33:23.680You and the English language are have a rocky relationship.
00:33:24.160 -->
00:33:24.720Wow.
00:33:24.960 -->
00:33:26.000Wow, wow, okay.
00:33:26.079 -->
00:33:27.440All right, well, there you go.
00:33:27.680 -->
00:33:32.799So so I guess humans in nature, we do not have the same eating habits.
00:33:32.960 -->
00:33:34.960That is the hardest part about what we do.
00:33:35.119 -->
00:33:44.720They 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 -->
00:33:53.039But 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 -->
00:33:55.759Us humans do not consume at a regular rate.
00:33:56.000 -->
00:33:59.359Does the fridge control does the AI control the temperature of the fridge?
00:33:59.599 -->
00:34:00.400No, no, no, no.
00:34:00.480 -->
00:34:05.440This is predicting uh being able to predict what they want so that they could order stuff.
00:34:05.519 -->
00:34:06.000That's what he said.
00:34:07.039 -->
00:34:12.639You know, all these smart things that are coming out really kind of make you wonder who defined smart.
00:34:13.039 -->
00:34:13.760Yeah, okay.
00:34:13.920 -->
00:34:14.960Well really does.
00:34:15.199 -->
00:34:15.679Guess what?
00:34:16.800 -->
00:34:23.679Now we need to move on to nothing but truth as we move on to Mike, the AI guy.
00:34:25.440 -->
00:34:28.960We have the grumpiest guy in the world coming up.
00:34:47.840 -->
00:34:48.480All right.
00:34:49.199 -->
00:34:56.239So once again, we have uh uh proof about why I'm always yelling about AI.
00:34:56.480 -->
00:34:56.639Okay.
00:34:56.880 -->
00:34:57.280What do we have?
00:34:57.679 -->
00:35:03.920AI has once again tricked the human beings that rely on it.
00:35:04.159 -->
00:35:04.480Okay.
00:35:04.960 -->
00:35:17.360Last 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 -->
00:35:18.079Yep.
00:35:18.400 -->
00:35:29.440Many 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 -->
00:35:37.360Uh 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 -->
00:35:44.239The claims trace back to the Vault 7 disclosures published by WikiLinks in March 2017.
00:35:44.400 -->
00:35:54.159These documents described a CIA project called Weeping Angel that reportedly targeted certain older Samsung televisions from around 2012 and 2013.
00:35:54.639 -->
00:36:02.480Security 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 -->
00:36:10.880Yet 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 -->
00:36:12.239Nope.
00:36:12.480 -->
00:36:14.000That's not what the document showed.
00:36:14.079 -->
00:36:19.599In fact, the leaks described a compromised television running in a special fake off mode.
00:36:19.679 -->
00:36:22.960That's very different from a television that is actually powered off.
00:36:23.199 -->
00:36:29.440A 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 -->
00:36:33.599What bothers me the most is how AI made the problem worse.
00:36:34.079 -->
00:36:35.519No, no kidding, right?
00:36:35.679 -->
00:36:35.840Yep.
00:36:36.079 -->
00:36:43.360AI generated videos, voiceovers, and written summaries stripped away the context and replaced facts with fear.
00:36:43.519 -->
00:36:49.920By 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 -->
00:36:50.800And why?
00:36:50.960 -->
00:36:52.320Because people are stupid.
00:36:53.039 -->
00:36:54.480Folks, that's not generism.
00:36:54.800 -->
00:36:56.400Journalism, that's clickbait.
00:36:57.119 -->
00:37:07.519The 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 -->
00:37:20.400So 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 -->
00:37:20.960Okay.
00:37:25.039 -->
00:37:26.320No, you can't really help people.
00:37:26.480 -->
00:37:31.039But you know, I can suggest that you can stop and ask yourself some questions.
00:37:31.199 -->
00:37:31.360Okay.
00:37:32.000 -->
00:37:33.119Is the video real?
00:37:33.360 -->
00:37:34.559Is the story current?
00:37:34.639 -->
00:37:37.360And does the claim actually make any technical sense?
00:37:37.599 -->
00:37:41.280But because most people don't know all these things, they're gonna believe it anyway.
00:37:41.760 -->
00:37:45.840Because in this case, the TV wasn't the problem, it was the misinformation.
00:37:46.960 -->
00:37:47.280Yep.
00:37:47.440 -->
00:37:52.960Sometimes the smartest device in your house is the one that's unplugged from your social media.
00:37:54.000 -->
00:37:57.519I would say the the bread between your ears, but that's really not the problem.
00:37:58.559 -->
00:37:59.119You could wear that.
00:37:59.199 -->
00:38:01.519The smartest device is the one that's disconnected from the media.
00:38:01.760 -->
00:38:02.159There you go.
00:38:02.400 -->
00:38:05.599So it says like the Nintendo Music Boy.
00:38:05.840 -->
00:38:06.559Nonfactual.
00:38:06.719 -->
00:38:06.960Right.
00:38:07.039 -->
00:38:18.960The 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 -->
00:38:19.280Yeah.
00:38:19.760 -->
00:38:21.360What happens when we buy into it?
00:38:21.679 -->
00:38:22.719Well, that's our problem.
00:38:22.880 -->
00:38:25.199See, we buy we buy into those things.
00:38:25.440 -->
00:38:29.599For the way our brains are wired or created.
00:38:31.519 -->
00:38:37.760We look at things that are in print and we automatically start thinking they are true.
00:38:37.840 -->
00:38:41.599Because why would somebody go to the trouble of doing that and etc, etc.?
00:38:41.840 -->
00:38:54.960It'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 -->
00:38:55.280Yeah.
00:38:55.519 -->
00:38:55.840Right?
00:38:56.000 -->
00:38:56.320Yeah.
00:38:56.559 -->
00:39:10.159And 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 -->
00:39:12.880And so what happens when people start sharing this?
00:39:12.960 -->
00:39:14.400So I I have a little bit of a problem.
00:39:15.199 -->
00:39:16.079It's like a virus.
00:39:16.320 -->
00:39:17.199Yeah, this article.
00:39:17.360 -->
00:39:23.519So like six or seven people that I respect as individuals that I'm friends with started posting this stuff, right?
00:39:23.599 -->
00:39:26.639And so actually, I reached out to a couple of them and said, Hey, you need to take this down.
00:39:26.719 -->
00:39:28.239This isn't isn't factual.
00:39:28.400 -->
00:39:31.039And what ends up happening is like, well, yeah, I just posted it.
00:39:31.119 -->
00:39:35.039I 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 -->
00:39:43.840I 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 -->
00:39:46.159Don't be posting something you don't know anything about.
00:39:46.400 -->
00:39:48.480I'd be like, doing like styling.
00:39:48.559 -->
00:39:51.280What would I ever do if I posted something on style?
00:39:51.360 -->
00:39:53.199Then you should say, Nathan, you have no style.
00:39:53.760 -->
00:39:57.920Because we live in a world that's it based on feelings over facts.
00:39:58.239 -->
00:40:07.920The human the human system responds to stimulus through feelings and emotions before it starts to rationalize.
00:40:08.079 -->
00:40:13.920Rationalization is a process that is slow, and we don't like slow.
00:40:14.079 -->
00:40:22.880We 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 -->
00:40:34.480And 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 -->
00:40:36.320So stay on Tech Time Radio.
00:40:36.400 -->

00:42:44.880And now, let's look back at this week in technology.
00:42:45.840 -->
00:42:48.320All right, Mike, we're going to the way back machine.
00:42:48.400 -->
00:42:50.960To September 25th, 1973.
00:42:51.199 -->
00:43:03.679Microcomputer Machines introduces the MCM70 at the programmers' conference in Toronto, making history with what many consider one of the first personal microcomputers.
00:43:03.920 -->
00:43:06.960Created by Canadian mathematician MERS Cut.
00:43:07.840 -->
00:43:19.679The MCM 70 was built around Intel's 8008 processor and allowed users to run programs directly on their own machine at a time when most computing was still done through large shared mainframes.
00:43:20.480 -->
00:43:34.159The system featured a keyboard, display, cassette storage, and built-in APL programming language support, putting powerful computing capabilities into a self-contained desktop unit years before the IBM PC and Apple Macintosh looked to do so.
00:43:36.880 -->
00:43:49.119The MCM 70 helped pioneer the ideas that computers could be a part of an individual and could be the groundwork for personal computers and the revolution that followed.
00:43:49.760 -->
00:43:51.039That was this week in technology.
00:43:51.119 -->

00:45:12.960 -->
00:45:14.960Well, today, let's talk about today.
00:45:15.119 -->
00:45:16.000It's exciting.
00:45:16.159 -->
00:45:17.440September 22nd.
00:45:17.599 -->
00:45:19.039What is today?
00:45:19.280 -->
00:45:20.480Dun dun dun.
00:45:21.280 -->
00:45:22.800Uh, I don't know.
00:45:23.360 -->
00:45:24.800Lord of the Rings Day.
00:45:25.760 -->
00:45:26.320Close.
00:45:26.559 -->
00:45:29.280Oh, that's a good guess because you went to New Zealand.
00:45:29.599 -->
00:45:31.440The day the ring was thrown into Mordor.
00:45:32.639 -->
00:45:34.800Well, think more specifically, Mike, what you were talking about.
00:45:35.199 -->
00:45:35.920Hobbit day earlier.
00:45:36.079 -->
00:45:36.559Hobbit day?
00:45:36.800 -->
00:45:37.599There you go.
00:45:37.920 -->
00:45:38.880Hobbit day.
00:45:39.280 -->
00:45:39.599Wow.
00:45:39.760 -->
00:45:40.000Okay.
00:45:40.239 -->
00:45:40.559There we go.
00:45:40.880 -->
00:45:44.719Today we celebrate the shared birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins.
00:45:44.960 -->
00:45:45.280There we go.
00:45:45.519 -->
00:45:46.239Oh my 100%.
00:45:47.920 -->
00:45:48.079Yeah.
00:45:48.239 -->
00:45:54.880So they're known for good adventure, good food, plenty to drink, and telling very long stories.
00:45:55.119 -->
00:45:58.400So Nathan is already dangerously close to qualifying.
00:45:58.719 -->
00:45:59.519I get to see that.
00:45:59.760 -->
00:46:01.280Set up coming a mile away.
00:46:01.440 -->
00:46:01.760Okay.
00:46:02.960 -->
00:46:08.960Hobbit Town itself celebrates the day every September 22nd in Matamata, New Zealand.
00:46:09.760 -->
00:46:12.000So you want to go visit Hobbitown?
00:46:12.639 -->
00:46:18.480You know what this whiskey kind of feels like maybe it was sprinkled on their feet and then dragged into the barrel?
00:46:19.119 -->
00:46:20.239Pokemon P.
00:46:20.880 -->
00:46:21.840Oh, Pokemon P.
00:46:22.239 -->
00:46:22.719Okay, alright.
00:46:22.880 -->
00:46:23.199Wow.
00:46:23.440 -->
00:46:34.159Well, since we're celebrating the Hobbits, it's only fitting that we head to New Zealand's Wakato region, home to both Hobbitan and today's Poquino Whiskey.
00:46:34.239 -->
00:46:38.000Now Poquino has taken that Middle Earth connection even further.
00:46:38.239 -->
00:46:50.880They are now producing an official licensed Lord of the Rings Ring Bearer single malt created for the 25th anniversary of the film saga and matured across first filmed bourbon Virgin Oak.
00:46:51.199 -->
00:46:52.400Is that 25 years?
00:46:52.880 -->
00:46:56.320And Manuka Honeycat.
00:46:57.440 -->
00:47:01.360So apparently, even Middle Earth has joined the premium whiskey market.
00:47:02.320 -->
00:47:04.480Okay, is it gonna taste better than this?
00:47:05.679 -->
00:47:06.960Oh, I have no idea.
00:47:07.119 -->
00:47:08.239I would say no.
00:47:12.400 -->
00:47:13.760The single malt, so yeah.
00:47:14.159 -->
00:47:15.760Yeah, that's a good point.
00:47:17.199 -->
00:47:24.320Now, as for Poquino Origin, I have no personal tasting notes for this one because I simply do not drink single malt whiskey.
00:47:24.559 -->
00:47:25.920100% malted barley.
00:47:26.000 -->
00:47:32.400This bottle has exceeded my normal barley tort tolerance before even somebody pulled that cork.
00:47:38.639 -->
00:47:40.559So I'm taking it you guys are not getting that.
00:47:40.719 -->
00:47:48.000I'm willing to take their word for it, but however, Nathan and Mike and boldly venture in this particular Middle-earth saga.
00:47:48.159 -->
00:47:51.920I'm staying more on the corn rye wheat.
00:47:52.960 -->
00:47:53.599That makes sense.
00:47:53.920 -->
00:47:54.480Journey for me.
00:47:54.639 -->
00:47:57.440Yeah, I think they might be talking about some other whiskey.
00:47:57.920 -->
00:47:58.320Yeah.
00:47:58.480 -->
00:47:58.719Yeah.
00:47:59.039 -->
00:48:02.239This is this is not I don't think any of those guys whiskey.
00:48:02.639 -->
00:48:06.079Watered down, watered down uh radiator fluid.
00:48:06.159 -->
00:48:07.039Yeah, that's not good.
00:48:07.360 -->
00:48:10.000So that makes sense coming from Nathan's shelf.
00:48:11.440 -->
00:48:12.559That's true.
00:48:12.800 -->
00:48:13.440Wow.
00:48:13.840 -->
00:48:16.719Alright, anything else you want to uh any other digs?
00:48:16.880 -->
00:48:19.039Yeah, okay.
00:48:19.280 -->
00:48:21.199No, we've been we've been digging you pretty good.
00:48:21.360 -->
00:48:27.599No, whiskey and technology are such a great pairing, like Starbucks cuff coffee and pumpkin spice lattes.
00:48:28.960 -->
00:48:31.920No, no, Halloween and pumpkin spice.
00:48:32.880 -->
00:48:33.920Oh pumpkin spice.
00:48:34.159 -->
00:48:34.719No, pumpkin spice.
00:48:35.599 -->
00:48:36.320And pumpkin spice.
00:48:38.320 -->
00:48:39.280You know what you need to try?
00:48:39.519 -->
00:48:40.800The what is it?
00:48:40.880 -->
00:48:42.000Uh banana bread.
00:48:42.159 -->
00:48:42.400Uh oh.
00:48:42.639 -->
00:48:44.559Starbucks has this banana bread flavoring.
00:48:44.639 -->
00:48:45.519It's amazing.
00:48:45.920 -->
00:48:46.880Is it like Starbucks?
00:48:47.199 -->
00:48:47.679Banana bread?
00:48:48.320 -->
00:48:50.079I hate Starbucks, but I still feel they're gonna be.
00:48:50.320 -->
00:48:51.519Is it just a loaf of banana bread?
00:48:51.840 -->
00:48:54.239They put banana bread in your coffee and swirl it up.
00:48:54.719 -->
00:48:56.159That would actually be chunky.
00:48:56.320 -->
00:48:57.360It does not sound good at all.
00:48:57.599 -->
00:48:58.559That sounds like wet bread.
00:48:58.960 -->
00:49:01.039That's how I like my coffee, a little chunky.
00:49:01.199 -->
00:49:01.840All right.
00:49:03.039 -->
00:49:03.360Okay.
00:49:04.559 -->
00:49:05.840Move on, please.
00:49:06.079 -->
00:49:06.480Oh no.
00:49:07.199 -->
00:49:07.840Okay, you know what?
00:49:08.079 -->
00:49:10.079With that fail, let's prepare for the technology.
00:49:10.480 -->
00:49:13.280That's how you know that the weather's AI generated.
00:49:14.480 -->
00:49:15.840Congratulations.
00:49:16.000 -->
00:49:17.360You're a failure.
00:49:17.679 -->
00:49:19.119Oh, I failed.
00:49:19.280 -->
00:49:19.760Did I?
00:49:20.000 -->
00:49:20.480Yes.
00:49:20.719 -->
00:49:21.440Did I?
00:49:21.599 -->
00:49:22.000Yes.
00:49:22.239 -->
00:49:22.480All right.
00:49:22.559 -->
00:49:30.320For 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 -->
00:49:32.719Amazon's push to expand drone deliveries.
00:49:32.880 -->
00:49:41.360It'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 -->
00:49:51.280Lindsay 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 -->
00:49:59.280Instead 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 -->
00:50:06.559She was shocked and joked that she probably would not be requesting drone delivery anytime soon again.
00:50:06.880 -->
00:50:11.599The timing couldn't have been worse because Amazon's announcing their stupid prime days again coming on up here.
00:50:12.079 -->
00:50:20.159The 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 -->
00:50:26.000The 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 -->
00:50:34.559Amazon'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 -->
00:50:42.239Still, 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 -->
00:50:45.679And now let's move on to the Nathan Nugget.
00:50:47.519 -->
00:50:49.760This is your nugget of the week.
00:50:50.000 -->
00:50:50.320All right.
00:50:50.400 -->
00:50:55.119This 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 -->
00:50:58.880Now, what's the best backup that you can trust in today's world?
00:50:59.199 -->
00:51:01.039Most people rely on cloudbooks.
00:51:03.360 -->
00:51:05.119You're right, actually, Mike.
00:51:06.000 -->
00:51:10.880Cloud backups, network connected services, syncing 24 by seven.
00:51:10.960 -->
00:51:12.719But those are great and convenient.
00:51:12.880 -->
00:51:13.679But guess what?
00:51:13.840 -->
00:51:17.119They can also have mistakes and they can have downtimes and issues.
00:51:17.360 -->
00:51:22.880Accidentally deleting a folder gets hit by a ransomware, and all of a sudden your experience is a bad syncing.
00:51:23.039 -->
00:51:32.000Boom, 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 -->
00:51:32.320That's right.
00:51:32.400 -->
00:51:39.280That'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 -->
00:51:49.679Think 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 -->
00:51:59.039This 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 -->
00:52:01.679I have my own data center sitting in my house.
00:52:02.079 -->
00:52:03.519Yeah, you have your own data center.
00:52:03.679 -->
00:52:07.440But remember, just one backup doesn't always guarantee you safety.
00:52:07.679 -->
00:52:08.880That's why we have eight of them.
00:52:09.039 -->
00:52:14.960That'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 -->
00:52:16.960Do you also need to have one in another country?
00:52:17.199 -->
00:52:18.079No, you don't need to do that.
00:52:18.559 -->
00:52:19.280You need to do that too.
00:52:19.679 -->
00:52:20.159But you know what?
00:52:20.400 -->
00:52:21.519This is becoming a big deal.
00:52:21.599 -->
00:52:28.239And 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 -->
00:52:29.920So then you're going to have another issue again.
00:52:30.000 -->
00:52:41.119But 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 -->
00:52:45.599But now let's move on to our pick of the day whiskey tasting.
00:52:48.480 -->
00:52:52.320And now our pick of the day for our whiskey tastings.
00:52:53.039 -->
00:52:55.760Let's see what bubbles to the top.
00:52:56.880 -->
00:53:05.360All right, today from Poquino Whiskey Company, we are drinking the Poquino Origin New Zealand single malt whiskey.
00:53:05.679 -->
00:53:09.67986 proof, 100% malted barley,$63.
00:53:11.199 -->
00:53:11.920Uh thumbs up.
00:53:12.159 -->
00:53:13.760Where are my things where are your thumbs going?
00:53:14.079 -->
00:53:16.159I'm pretty sure I know where my thumb's going.
00:53:16.239 -->
00:53:17.519Where's your thumb going?
00:53:18.159 -->
00:53:19.280Up Nathan's.
00:53:24.320 -->
00:53:25.519Alright, thumbs down for me.
00:53:25.599 -->
00:53:26.480Mike, what did you give it?
00:53:26.639 -->
00:53:27.599A thumbs up or thumbs down?
00:53:27.760 -->
00:53:29.760I I'm pretty sure I gave that a thumbs down.
00:53:29.920 -->
00:53:30.559Yeah, thumbs up.
00:53:30.800 -->
00:53:31.039Pretty sure.
00:53:31.360 -->
00:53:32.719Hey, did you like it over there on the board?
00:53:32.880 -->
00:53:33.039No.
00:53:33.199 -->
00:53:34.719It was it was not good.
00:53:34.960 -->
00:53:36.079It was pretty bad.
00:53:36.639 -->
00:53:39.440But it was that there's no way anybody's gonna pay$63.
00:53:39.760 -->
00:53:44.800I don't care how many Lord of the Rings icons you put on this bottle or stickers or whatever you want to do.
00:53:44.960 -->
00:53:45.51963 Lord.
00:53:47.840 -->
00:53:49.039This is a Pokemon P.
00:53:49.519 -->
00:53:51.599This is a New Zealand special, not Lord of the Rings.
00:53:51.760 -->
00:53:51.840Yeah.
00:53:51.920 -->
00:53:55.039Okay, but you found it on your shelf, uh, Mr.
00:53:55.199 -->
00:53:56.639Nobody's gonna buy this stuff.
00:53:57.760 -->
00:54:01.519I bought this as a gift package with many of whiskeys from around the world.
00:54:01.840 -->
00:54:03.519I didn't get to individually pick this out.
00:54:03.599 -->
00:54:04.239It's a small box.
00:54:05.760 -->
00:54:06.480Okay, there you go.
00:54:06.559 -->
00:54:08.639That was probably still not worth the price I paid.
00:54:09.440 -->
00:54:12.159I think you guys are just not international drinkers because it's interesting.
00:54:12.239 -->
00:54:22.400I should go back and and at when we're done with this whole uh whiskeys of the world kit that you bought and see how many thumbs up versus thumbs down you guys gave it.
00:54:23.599 -->
00:54:24.960It seems to be a lot of thumbs downs.
00:54:25.280 -->
00:54:40.480I'm going to say that uh Nathan's thumbs downs on international whiskey is probably more than mine because I I have tasted and enjoyed from like Japanese whiskey and other places.
00:54:40.960 -->
00:54:45.599However, Mike's I agree that Japanese whiskey was that your palate is more expanded that way.
00:54:45.679 -->
00:54:52.639However, on this particular kit, they seem to be lower level ones, and you're more discouraged discerning now.
00:54:52.800 -->
00:54:57.039So yeah, I I I I want something more full-bodied.
00:54:57.119 -->
00:55:06.480This tasted very weak and I think Mark and Mike are having a little like love affair on whiskey there, and I'm left out over here on you are because you are have a palate.
00:55:07.039 -->
00:55:07.360Okay.
00:55:07.760 -->
00:55:08.159All right.
00:55:08.239 -->
00:55:11.119Well, just be quiet, you AI generated fool.
00:55:11.360 -->
00:55:12.880Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
00:55:13.440 -->
00:55:16.400We'll see what comes uh from Nathan's cellar next week.
00:55:16.719 -->
00:55:18.239Alexa, stop talking.
00:55:18.480 -->
00:55:18.960All right.
00:55:19.119 -->
00:55:20.239Hey, well, guess what?
00:55:20.400 -->
