Topics
Nilay Patel: 本期节目讨论了苹果iOS 18.1 beta版中Apple Intelligence功能的初步体验,以及Pixel 9发布会传闻、奥运会转播方式的变化和AI深度伪造的监管问题。Apple Intelligence功能目前还处于早期阶段,Siri的上下文理解能力有所提升,但其他功能尚不完善。Pixel 9系列手机的硬件变化不大,主要关注点在于软件和AI功能。奥运会转播方式因TikTok而与往年不同,人们更多地通过TikTok获取奥运信息和娱乐。AI深度伪造问题日益严重,各方都在寻求解决方案,包括立法和技术手段。 Allison Johnson: 本期节目内容较为随意,因为主持人休假。讨论了Apple Intelligence功能的邮件总结功能有时会出错,无法区分玩笑和认真内容。还讨论了Pixel 9系列手机的AI功能,例如Gemini和Pixel Screenshot等,以及三星Galaxy Watch Ultra智能手表与苹果Apple Watch Ultra智能手表在功能上的相似之处。此外,还谈到了三星将Galaxy Z Flip手机宣传为警用执法记录仪的不妥之处,以及Logitech新任CEO计划推出“永续鼠标”的订阅模式。 Victoria Song: 本期节目讨论了iOS 18.1 beta版中Apple Intelligence功能的图片搜索功能表现良好,以及AI通话录音和转录功能对记者等职业人士非常有用。还讨论了Pixel 9系列手机的“Add Me”功能可以将用户添加到照片中,但同时也可能带来信息污染问题。此外,还谈到了AI合成图像技术的发展,可能导致人们对真实图像的判断能力下降,以及AI图像处理技术在过度锐化和降噪方面存在问题,可能导致图像失真。

im all over the gymnastics but everything i know about the Olympics has just come through do scrolling my TikTok feed and just going like oh actually, thats kind of really wholesome i really love chocolate muffin guy and yeah cant remember she is planning chocolate muffin guy this is of forin concept to me its its just this Norwegian athlete who is discovered the chocolate muffin from the Olympic village uh crt cafetaria and he gets increasingly weired with this chocolate muffin it just like appears in his bedroom and hes in a thong and youlike what is happening wait oh!

that she is anyway she really love this frank was often you know whathappening thats shame uh yeah dont trying TikTok uh is a weird way to feel about America right now this is hard to know how much American pride you have depending on what tiktokstrollyear in hmm like at this one is like i have immense pride in our gymnists who have crushed it once again oh, no hes talking again i have amounts pride in this right like its what is happening uh thats a lot we have an entire story about uh the Olympics in TikTok, uh Mia wrote it uh i actually wanted that title to the influence or Olympics。

um but i think thats what people think thats coacella so uh!

uh both is true yeah that i thought i thought it was good fun, but it is true that the athletes are young by a large very young except for the fifty one year old Turkish man who got a silver metal in shooting with no equipment whatsoever great photo, um but its true that the athletes are by in large very young the us womens gymatic team literally after winning gold was caught on camera talking about what TikTok they wanted to make oh yeah, which is incredible and so you just have this like very native population to this format in this platform in particular, and then theres just the universe of pier c that happens on TikTok like if you want to watch clips of cool sporting events the TikTok community has you covered and TikToks lawyers also apparently have you covered because they dont seem to care about it and thats like one really interesting way of consuming this right yougetting kind of the raw of feed by people who are on the ground who speak in the language of video speakin language social video anygetting about your eclipse of cool stuff curated by a community does not care about nbc is exclusive writes to stream the TikTok is the commentary on TikTok is much funnier because you just have people filming their screen while they are watching it like the the mens gymnast pomo horse guy i dont know no any of these athletes names i know them by their memes on TikTok but just like i was watching these two women watching pop pomo horse guy and theyre like yes yes!

Peter Parker yes, you better work you better work and just having this very sassy commentary about this man doing the pomo horse and i was just like this is im watching them watch their tv screen and theyre just better than like the nbc commentary people or just like i yes, hes on the pomphorse and he did the skill so serious would say so serious its like its like watching it with your friends except my my husband doesngive a crap about the Olympics or no say oh yeah!

pomo horse guy you can get it Clark cant of pomo horse so i often say that almost every experience i have a TikTok should be a PhD and media studies what you are describing as a PhD at media studies right like the layers of abstraction away from the thing itself happening and then the entertainment that random strangers in internet providing you the cut all of that is just very different and it feels new this time in a way that and two years ago base three years ago um at the last elements it was a two years ago three years ago the last one his first three there in 20201 because of you know ah covid events yeah yeah, thats right the Olympics is has always felt to me like this big serious important thing and like thats current part of the appeal but theres something great about like yeah having it kind of distributed about like you know from people on the ground and having more fun with that like it doesnt have to be this like big booming voice of like nbc will deliver you the Olympics and that is how you will watch them right if you put 180 teenagers in middle of France with cellphones like something funny is gonna happen yeah right thats it that seems correct you just learn more about different sports because i dont care about rugvi i love alone or more shes hilarious on TikTok shes just all over my entire feed yesterday was just lesbians crying that alone a marv was not a lesbian because they were just like in love with the womens rugby team and i was like and thatll be it for chasfordchas everybody were gonna end it here uh not mean but that right the idea the different communities different groups can view the thing together in a different way as a community is new like that just is a new thing but even like sports twitter doesnache right its its the native video communicationability of particularly the younger generation that like is interesting in new and thats one thing thats different about these Olympics the other thing thats different is that actually, nbc in pecock are doing a good job i must disclose the uh nbc is my warning investor in box in your parent company they are unbackcomcast ive really said anything good about Comcast so much disclose im saying something nice about Comcast and we see uh thats the first time i believe in history uh that is happened um but they are doing a good job it is actually like refreshing in interesting to see a big legacy broadcaster just go for it with her app and its such a theres not problems there random ad breaks in the middle of stuff theres infinite complaints about just how overwhelming it is but its like a they had they had every idea and executed every idea so if you want just watch highlights of the sports, you can just watch highlights of the sports you want to watch the traditional gazi nineteen eighty style prime time broadcast with completely unnecessary human interest interludes about how the gym is group knowing they would be gitimnists those stories are always the same its like when they were for there, like im Gonna jump on stuff every to every four years you can get that story from nbc if you want, but thats available to they have the gold zone, which is basically nfl Redzone for the Olympics that theyre doing ten hours today in inside of the app when youwatching stuff, you can just be like i just want to keep watching this thing that were whipping around, which is fascinating they have multiview, which is the more standard just like fees four feeds at once um they have out Michaels doing ai powered pilots that you can just not know oh okay, which is super weird like it just weird to have robot out Michaels being like the gymis Trump over stuff again, but they its like all the ideas i had someone in my mentions because i i was posting my threads and i like all of this is stuff that a normal company would like d scope to hit the deadline and nbc just like did it all and then on top it there i do all thats like pretty good but gold zone is actually really funny do theres like very funny nfl Trama inside of gold zone um so you know theres redzone we re like quick around all the games on Sundays and there there is to be two redzones there is a one on directv and there is a one that the nfl did Google bought the right the Sunday ticket they took the nfl Redzone and they shut down the directd Redzone so Scott Hanson who does the nfl Redzone is like gonna do it with Google now NVC realize they cant just have Scott Hanson ten hoursa day 16 days in a row so they higher Scott Hanson and the guy who used to do the direct TV redzone to Goldson so they like back together not as rivals but is friends but all its suck this is serious this is a PhD redis PhD but they had to do it like somebody nbc had to be like alright lets like whats do a redzone for Olympics how will we do that we should just get all the redzone guys yeah they would go get some contracks together like make it happen in it all is kind of work it like its working better than if i suggested to nbc was gonna make an app full of Olympics content, your expectations will be very low peacock。

but theyre actually doing theydoin good i love that im an Olympics level yeah, i love that you watching a peacock are you are you like full TikTok so i am i have to put an answer that like im a Winter Olympics girl and i i dont know what it is this year Ive been like shouted down by the summer Olympics people about how the winner Olympics is not the real Olympics and i think i just like got target it so i ive kind of been missing out on on this years you can theres theres snoopdog like yeah between everything and the yeah and like the genius decision to have snoopdog in flavor flave here im like this is what?

i mean by NBC just went flex someone nbc is like im the is there snoopdog budget now like yes in addition to that theres flame a flame budget play they just like went for it its great um yeah i would you should click around on people its like actually like fairly entertaining just as a tech experience to be like oh they like triedthis out like what if this was all happening, you can kind of see theres news this week that the venue sports, which is the big mash up of Disney in fox everything um espn theyre gonna price it like 43 hollers a month, which is crazy and its like what you get teletad money yeah only you sit around so actually might be worth fifty dollars a month um but its kind of like oh this is the bar like if you want to be anywhere close to that much money youve got a deliver a user experience that is at least this good cause if it just a but if its just like a minimum viable product list of things like no something paid money um alright, thats thats feeling becse its going on im curious how people are watching intents in out um the other theres more time left in it um one thing ill say is it doesnt seem like the action is on twitter the way it is with other last words yeah is on TikTok and Adam to theres something happening there that i think is just fastening alright, we should talk about ioc else you got to play you play with ioc teen point one which is the developer beta not the public video but i think that is getting pretty plury and that everyone is playing with that i mean known was gonna stay away from taogence we play or that what do you think yeah?

its its interesting i think my kind of big takeaway is like we you get you get the like visuals of the new theory, the like glowing border, and you can type to talk to Siri um and theres a couple things that are new about Siri that like it followers context better like between questions which like goo Google assistants when doing for a little while now, but um so this kind of like setting the stage and theres these other little things throughout the uy that are like when an if it all gets put together like that it that could be really cool, but um right now, its just kind of like Siri lights up and then you can rewrite an email and youll get email summary is in your inbox and it was just especially funny and like when you um open, the mail app instead of the like each you know email has the first couple lines of the actual email copy there is just a little summary now and that make a lot of sense for like a long email but most summary emails are garbage like promos stuff so just summarize is the promotional stuff and its like lunchboxesship free im like didnt need a summary that but thank you that is a very much like whatsapenewith croc and trending topics on twitter now oh no were like the ai just doesnt know that that somethings are jokes and so the the trending topics are like when i turn black relations of like people tweeting about Trump tag you and coma hair is and like no thats not thats all right thats a thats all what people mean thats just a check yeah you didnget it yeah!

yeah!

yeah is just so sincere about stuff that it just like its funny we have to left um i guess so the are those only features are outyet its the summarizing emails and rewriting summarize in a lot of pictures of people intentionally writing very mean notes and trying to get theyi to make them nicer!

which is fascinating oh the one i did um you know at the end of willinga when uh teenwilder does that like physifting drink, think like you still physifting drink yeah, put that into a note and he had it rewrite it like friendly and it was like hey, just just that you know you cant be stealing busy lifting drinks um thats far as i got without very amusing to me personally, um yeah theres theres little bit in bobs here and there that are escaping me at the moment its in the emails no photos um in the photosapp you can use like natural language search so you can be like yeah you could search for like food before or someone that youve tagged um in your photos but you can be like this person wearing glasses or food we ate in Iceland and its like pretty good and it comes up with that stuff so just getting a step closer to like i just search for my license plate because i can never remember so like i have this one picture of a chicken that i saw while walking down a street in Brooklyn so would i just be able and i can never look no one believes me when i told them i ran into a chicken on a sidewalk and broke i dont believe you now i really have did one photo of it so what i be able to go to like the photos up and be like find me the photo of the chicken walking on a fine we have my foot in there i think thats the most important use case of ai like at all yeah for it will just generate that photo for you you can buy your chicken on the sign work and then tell people that you saw it and be a liar so what we saw at wc of iOS 18 was ai everywhere?

every app and every corner its just gonna make the phone better, and then that was like a one set of ideas and then the other idea was。

and then Siri will become your all knowing assistant is that the experience of eighteen point one in the beta right now not yeah its like yeah its just little Easter eggs kind of throughout and then the the thing that is missing from Siri is like the player big stuff for its like itll understand the the intelligence in the ai i think yeah um know the like itll understand whats on your screen and you can ask for you know you can be like email this photo to my mom and itll just go do it for you like that is the stuff thats coming and then the the third party app stuff cuz developers are gonna be able to hook into it um and let you do serious stuff in the apps and thats the the ai dream on our phones and thats still the lake now its coming cause people have to develop it is the but they change the user experience of Siri right so when i when you open it like flashes the thing you can like you can type to it now hmm yeah, you happen able to this is i learned this and i didnt know it we whats the how do you do this oh!

its, its its an accessibility feature where you can type to Siri so you can do it even if you dont have the beta, i just think it looks a lot prettier the beta yeah, this is an another example of them going like oh accessibility features actually they work for everybody why dont we just like shine them up and make the yeah right make it is it is actually really interesting how many accessively features have just made their way into the main app in systems yeah!

theres other ones um but type to type to series the big one with eighteen point one because it its the thing that takes series from being timers in music player to chat bot to assistant to intelligent agent this taking action across all of your apps and i it seems like theyve added the stuff but they havent added any of the backend to make it go yet yeah like im asking it questions and it still just googling stuff for me im like oh oh okay well。

i could have got type this into a Google search bar instead of a theory textbox but and then it seems theyve added ai call recording in transcription。

which is the feature that i want the most yes because if your reporter not because im constantly spying everyone im richardnext, everyone im constant recording ever uh now i mean i were reporters and like ai call recording in transfer legitimately is one our jobs and its been weve just been doing either people using their android fans in office, which lot people do or theres but said a weird third party sub people just use my phone, which is my main phone we really great!

so thats here now is it work yeah that we try that i have not cause i didnt put my sim card in that phone because of esim, because of nightmares um but i did try out so like the voice memos app will do transcriptions now and thats not an apple intelligence feature like the recording at call i think is apple intelligence could be wrong um but the transcription is good like i put i am a Pixel recorder Stan i always have a Pixel phone at a press event you know like it is just in my bag and i put it next iPhone and it was really good it was like up there with the pixel so i am personally excited about that yeah!

yeah i think that thats the one its always a grab back of which features the one that hits and i just know that that feature for at least are a little community of reporters is gonna put the hardest uh theyre gonna want to so excited yeah cant wait to cancel my order subscription yeah oh no yeah i mean like that right start getting wiped out there is like two or three there are gonna go away so this is since um it seems like the rest the features not coming for a while right like marker men at Blueberg said some of these might not come into late 25 或者 Ven 26 yeah!

i think the last thing im so confused on the timeline but it the last thing i read i think was that like they would all come to develop her betas by the end of the year but then as far as like being in the public beta thats twenty twenty five um yeah, its just a really long staggered kind of roll out it sounds like then that kind of make sense the like the danger with the siery they can do stuff on your behalf is quite, quite high and you have to make sure it works were also just not sure how any of the apple private cloud stuff is going to work like right now is it clear that all the stuff is happening on the phone or in the cloud or where is it all will we know its all happening on the phone there ah so theres a like privacy report you can pull down now that will show you like i and i think a lot of this is in the cloud like you cant i wouldnt say that for sure but you can you can pull this privacy report that shows you everything over like a certain time period that apple intelligence is done on your phone um and i guess its encrypted because its just like govely get like i downloaded it i was like well, this is secure is hell because i dont know what any of this um yes still kind of unclear yeah!

i mean i ive just like the fundamental architecture this thing is very new and what happens on your phone verses in the cloud theres some stuff that apples and very clear the apple happens on your phone like memoji and some of the photo stuff happens on your phone of stuff we just im assuming a lot of the series stuff is gonna go to the cloud, slower and more deliberate than anyone anticipated based on the bwc and it might roll all the way i mean late 2025 is very close to when we would expect iOS 19 becoming out 嗯哼?

yeah!

but im im sure to curious how that will play but for now it seems like theyve sprinkled in some ai and the places were you expected hmm yeah its all it does seem pretty safe its like OK!

weve been able to its kind of the table stickstuff of like write me an email thats friendly!

your professional or summarize this for me and like thats all kind of theyre kind of lyin the groundwork with that stuff and then were gonna point oh first and eighing point one sec so this is pretty far away it seems yeah its always well they they ahighoverlords are coming whether we like it or not all right so thats iOS 18 thats its interesting thats outnow and theyre actually dual tracking it right theres iOS 10 八 betas in eighteen point one of the developer betas and you get the feeling they want a people to be talking about the ai stuff because the Pixel line event is coming very soon and we know exactly, the Google scan type of Pixel in event um we gonna take a break lets do that come back and lets talk about the pixaliden we write back hey!

super here um meganorpeno womensports are reaching new heights these days and theres so much to talk about so Megan and i are launching a podcast where were gonna deep dive into all things sports and then some were calling it attachmore because womensports is everything。

popculture, economics, politics, you name it and theres no better folks than us to talk about what happens on the court or on the field and everyrerelseto and weve have a whole bunch of friends on the show to help us break things down were talking athletes, actors comedians maybe even our moms that would be a fun episode whethersbreaking downthebiggest games or discussing the latest headlines will be bringing a touchmore insight into the world of sportsmbeyond follow a touchmore wherever you get your podcast new episodestrap everywedstay!

i were back so like we were just saying the pixel mind event is coming up its August thirteenth base basically tomorrow, um im guessing wejust gonna see weve already seen the phones i assume Google just going to talk about the software!

which is the new trend right the phones look the same as ever and now were gonna were gonna just make you care about ai is how these companies are going yeah just uh hit us over the head with ai and weve seen every color of the phone every size like its bigger its smaller i dont know um im im just in this like all the phones have turned in the iPhone design, which is like fine weve gotten to this like the edges are platform yeah i mean sure, but like yeah im im good with this weve gotten to the same place with the phone design but Googles like i think its like Samsung a Google or like how do we make this not an iPhone and the answer is like a weird camera situation yeah and yeah kind of looks like Googles really leaning into the weird camera situation and i dont know how i still feel about it i think these are the rivian headlights of phone cameras oh!

thats it yeah Tina im saying yeah like you can love them, you can hate them theyre not changed em yup its you know and you can try to convince me that they look like snake eyes they dont you know no just like you can try to convince me this phone doesnt have a weird forehead it does it does it does super does um but it should the the colors are more vibrant, which is getting away from an apple is doing or at least the leaks indicate so expecting a new Pixel line a Pixel in Pro the Pixel line Pro fold i got these names um and then uh watch right uh the pixel buds pro two and a pixel watch three so that thats a pretty complete refresh of the pixel line it feels like the folds should be where the action is but i i just cant tell how much Google cares about these devices thats the question isnit its is so they moved the like the folds was on the product cycle with like it was at um i o last time around right and then theyve like scooted it so its more part of the like mean refresh like all which kind of make sense this like is this a flexion phone its like the most expensive phone you guys sell but its a cycle behind you know with the lake camera?

hardware and whatnot so i think it makes sense um moving the fold into this position but uh its its a lot of phones i dont know do we need this many files?

哈哈哈 like how do you think itll compare to because you know Samsung you said like theyfoldbles are just basically costing at this point so are we at a point with like the pixel folds something that is like ee ee yeah competition or is that just its here yeah im still of the mind that the one plus open got it right like that is how affordable like a bookstyle affordable should be shaped and then the cm song is just committed to this like remote control shape thing every year theylike its a few millimeter like the screen is a few millimeters wider and still feels like a remote control to use um so im curious how what different this new pixel fold is because theres a lot of river said its like thinner and lighter cause boy was the previous one heavy um, but i do like that that like wider aspect ratio for the cover screen um i dont think it needs be like quite as wide as the the first generation pixel folds。

so weve see yeah and then the the point of all this is going to be the software right we this is pretty iterative hardware across the board some minor camera tweaks the wacky camera bump but if youre not paying close attention i its i think its gonna be fairly hard distinguish the hard work from previous generation its the software, its the game so you can see theyre adding Gemini sort of to the first layer of the interface who have this new thing called pixel screenshots, which is basically just Microsoft recall whichever who is scared about only manual subset of constantly taking screen shots you have to manually take a screen shot very good a very good differentation but im kind into right you take a screen shot you like what is this or like save it for later theres a chicken walking down the street just like hold on that for me um and then of course, theres circle the search with googles adding to basically everything of this point i will i will copy say but a friend of mine just puts like circle the searched me in the face the other day you might imagine who that friend is who was show me and right feature any dont on me was circle the search, which was pretty funny but like this is them saying OK theres a new way to think about how this fun works right theres ai Gemini is like right here and then you can just point it things or tell the phone to look at things and it will generate information for you, which is very Google approach to it the question is whether thats enough to make people switch not even from the iPhone from there Samsung phones which obviously dominate and of course, because its Google。

whether theyll stay committed to any of these ideas for more than 20 minutes and i i just dont know its just a confusing time i think even just circle to search like and i use that on the the same sung phones i been testing in the Google phones obviously but like theres just kind of a lot of different ways to get at circle the searching or like so is this replacing these like Google lenses still a thing i can translate something but like did i need this circle just search that they they just have a lot of idea yeah, its like to open up Gemini and like take a screen shot of something or a picture of the inside of your refrigerator i dont know theres just a lot of like input methods where it just sort of could feel overwhelming but its a like seems like there in that position that were kind of talking about with smarter theory where its like OK like youve made the promises this is gonna make our lives easier blah right now its just a bunch of like you can switch the faces in these photos or you know put a rain cloud in the sky behind you and like that was all nice and everything but like lets see something like can they yeah the screenchat thing sure that theyll be cool im gonna take a screen trout of a recipe and i have literally have the same like Spaghetti and meatball recipe from Americas test kitchen booked marketing my Google photos as a lake favorite as if its a photo of my child like, i just look at it that often im like to cheap to pay for Americas test kitchen and cant commit writing it down so i dont know i think theres a theres a real casefor help me find this thing in a screen shot i feel like in i work with both you very closely the audience why not no its like to work with you but i book barked i favored it a screen shot of a recipe that i make all the time verses theres a photo with chicken that i can never find its kind of exactly the difference yeah!

a little bit yeah!

yeah that tracks that tracks it it tells a whole story im just making my sbegiting me balls and me is like where is that chicken i think about the Brooklyn chicken all the time its been so long im not sure this chicken is alive anymore i may have the only record of this sidewalk walking chicken like its important to me that this chicken lives in my memory please send us a note and describe how your photo storage approaches describe your personality cause i think theres theres a lot in there its a rich zone to unpack on a steel of like one did chicken on the scale of im just scrolling for a photo of a chicken endlessly, i swear its here um speak a photos uh alson youvencovering what can only be described is the what is a photo apocalips summit closely you just wrote a piece about the same son just sketch a b and theyll whoput a bee in the photo for you it seems a pixel line is just gonna continue moving inextually down this path with this feature called add me that will just add you to photos that youre not in yep thats what it sound like i mean its only from a leak its its only from a leak um that was an YouTube video that got removed it was like an add and got was leaked YouTube and got removed but it just feels like Google has to start communicating about how it will keep our information environment somewhat pure as it adds this features that uh just polluted more than ever yeah!

they were really like tiptoken up to the line i feel like last year and it was like wow this is just something that people have been doing in photoshop for a long time and now more people have the tools and then i feel like Samsung kick the door down with sketch to images like put a chicken in your photo, put a plant like whatever you want to do you can have it and then yeah i feel like the um the flag gates are open and i dont know how like how uh aggressive Google will be like the add me to the photo thing it seems like there could be guard rails on it。

or it could just be like a pure chaos and if sinelection year and what can go so so many things could go wrong but i also like it just reminding of this one family portrait i have so like my family is half split in dos versus uh Korea and so we all want to create a get this family portrait except for one cousin who couldnt go because he was a duval citizen and his military service time was coming up cause all Korean men have to do military service before theyre thirty and hes just like ijust not gonna do it so he had to get photo shopped into the family photo no, no, no if you look at it from a distance, you cant tell that hes been photoshopped in but if you look up closer like well lighting on his hair is wrong coming from a different angle you can really like you can just hes just textually not the same as everybody else yeah so dont know you can tell you can tell and its just like this huge family, virtual and Steven whois like been photoshopped and so i like to workout and not really cause we can all tell hes not there so its sort of like i dont know i feel like my counties my auntiy would love to have him in this sort of situation but i also you know having ates with the power to just add you into anything that also。

its not quit its not like an ai add me feature at least from the ad that we see its like a compositing feature like a very manual composing feature where you take a photo with us in this you leave space for literally yourself in the photo and then someone else holds the camera and it sh it shows you the old photo and you like go stand where you would have been and then you take a photo and it stitches all the photos together so its its very manual and its why im sure theres ai in a background to handle that stitching in alignment and probably the textures in colors and give you lighting too many fingers yeah but the idea that its gonna its not deep faking you put you in the photo its taking another photo of you in the in the same space and unlike making a composite this was still weird yeah!

its one of those features that like as a parent now im like oh i completely get that like best take where its like you try and take a picture where theres more than two toddlers in it like forget it theyre nobody is gonna have a good time but then its like oh you have all this data and you can just kind of like ai it together into one photo that looks right theyre like you get to be in the photo even though you took the photo thing im like yeah, im im following along with that i get that um so basically so you never have to ask someone oh!

hey!

do you mind taking a photo of us cause i know you have to ask them that but in a much more complicated and effically no i mean like its in your group。

its in your group。

its been in your group so like yeah like you you too would take a photo and then i would i would take a photo of you two and then i would hand one of you the phone and i would go stand next to where you had been standing and you would take another photo and the pixel would composite those photos together so work on all three of us i hate talking to strangers and asking them to take a group photo for me a main group so this is this is really going to help me not grow as a person and not talk to strangers more as basic oh see i love being asked that question because then everyones like oh you know youre doing!

which is great oh people dont know what theyre getting into im like so youve got the pixel phone tell me about your choices here theyre like such as lady yeah the second someone has you found any turnet to landscape theyre like oh my god we got a player here everybody like!

um but i even thats what like even the thing idescribingwhere its pretty manual right its not just aideep ficking you but you have to youmaking a composite photo what is a photo like its not a moment in time that that moment quite literally never happened and were all gonna were gonna pass it off as a photo and ive been thinking about this parents thing it because else never time you write about it you you put it in there like the experience of being a parent is just chinas is is like i would like a statistical average of this moment in time that makes me feel good right is like the goal of of like kidphotography yeah!

the reality is too scary yeah!

like it just round off the edges in me like this felt great yeah like it several moments throughout this day right like that would be fine um i dont actually need a pixel perfect recreation of this moment in time yeah and its its kind of weird like that is sort of the goal and i understand unparticularly parents want that but its right next to are you showing somebody in image of a thing that actually happened or you just creating an illustration in is that illustration like in the age of influencers Instagram is that in is that illustration gonna lead to all kinds of weird outcomes but what peoples expectations of their own experience should be like cause they dont know theyre looking something or ego system we we talk to show in the context, select the the true the images of the Trump assassination is attempt the entire ecosystem of validating these images saying whats real whatnot, which ones are ai, which ones aren is just not ready like it it that weve talked about it a lot there are initiatives in alliences and theres labels on meta platforms that are being applied seemingly randomly, but none of it works like no impression any of it and i just like where just bearing towards this future of completely synthetic images coming off these founds and i just dont it doesnt seem like any the companies give a shit yeah!

i feel like theres this just shared understanding we have especially with a phone camera its like you just pointed at a thing you were there you took a picture it happened you put on you see it on Instagram is like we just have the shared understanding of like yes, that was a thing that happened exactly you know like more or less as we saw theres weird we all understand that people pose for photos with big hats on in front of gorgeous landsgaps or whatever but yeah were were just like common straight of that moment of like OK, were gonna have to start asking some different questions when youre growing through Instagram or just like shifting your mindset and its not even like when i did the the sketch to image um i did you know mess with a bunch of photos added cats and pirate chips and like nonsense to them and i post it a bunch to my Instagram like grid in a post and i went through the um requirements they have for like when you need to add in ai tag and it didnt even meet them it was like you you can you know it was like something about it was my like my own personal photo and i wasnt um the way it manipulated it was like yeah itkind up to you you know put a tag on there dont whatever like okay thats fine its all fine well say the other thing ive noticed a lot of um is even the basic ai features and founds now theyre over correcting and over sharpening and this is beyond like it looks bad its like if you zoom in too far in a lot of modern smartphone photos now you will see that the text is all ai wonkey and like signs the background because ai has died noise in sharpen and youve gotten some weird stuff like really small faces it far away in a lot of smart one photos now look incredibly distorted in demonic cause theres like three pixels and its like but what if i put a face here its like i dont really know the face looks like it so heres a face a vagely face shaped denoised thing i think Samsung phones are more agreed as with this than i phones。

but theyre all doing it degrees and that is already confusing people yeah, theyre like these photos are ai generated is like youre not wrong, but youre also not right like that moment in time did happen and then a a you know a smartphone interpreted this demon face instead of just not having information there its weird when it kind like comes to the surface?

where what was the the photo of the lady trying on a wedding dress where yeah in the mirror, shes like making two different poses yeah like everybody lost their minds and it turned out to be like it was accidentally in panorama mode or something like that but just even that is like you know this stuff is been going on behind the scenes and just sort of like doing everything it can with that data to make a photo that i think thinks you will like and then when it kind of goes sideways and is obvious then its a real weird moment of like no yeah actually, your phones been doing this like you just it just didnt look like uh daemon until right this moment yeah!

i i i think theres gonna be some moment where the industry probably not the industry or the governments the eu that they tend they theyre always doing stuff theyre gonna say if you enable these features you have to like hardwatermark these photos as being partially generated by ai because we dont get all the way there then i were were gonna end up in this extremely weird moment where only professionals with like cryptographic signatures in their dslrs uploading directly to getty or the source of any truth and i dont think thats that doesnt seem sustainable right like only if you buy this, one like a camera and you have a contract with roiders can your photos introdusted like ten thousand dollar camera yeah, i just doesnt seem that doesnt seem like what anybody wants i am im hopeful that the consumers correct this first, but i suspect that some government somewhere is going to have to make a rule and people are Gonna actually play because wejust headed every time good im i know the Google people are gonna make us every time like the what is a photo poc this here because of some Google feature theyre like no this is what people want and my people people also want sugar but we want i want sugar and so yeah like you what you want to do you always does feel like they have the best case scenario in minded that humans are not goblins who do horrible things to each other sometimes theyre like oh no everyone will use it in the way that we intend which is the nice way that is just like no yeah you only need one one jerk you only need one jerk to ruin everything uh look around uh alright other reviews uh we review the goal switch ultra this week whats uh yes!

yeah kind of what kind of apple watch is it a good one her back its its apple watch Ultra that sure that sure is what it is but like i wo actually, what it really is is that like if you took the apple watch Ultra and drew it from memory thats the Samsung galaxy watch Ultra or if you like took the apple font its its its like the apple watch ultrer to but like in an android font is just basically what youre doing with this is there is just right in the review and then i was like you know what its actually just expedient if i tell you whats different and bullet point everything that is the same because theres too many things that are the same and then i started doing the major things that are the same and then i was like oh, but then theres this and then theres this and then theres like all these tiny little features that only a cycle like me would know and remember are on each of the watches are there like oh you can run against your last race performance if your runner yeah, apple did that and watch it was nine and now is here on the Sampson and like why is it here on the Sampson because i dont know it was an apple uh theyve been orange shortcut but button that is the quick button on Samsung and the action button on the apple watch they its the same thing just in a different font and thats it thats like you could sum up the watches that and also its its a squircal and i dont like it i dont i i was had mixedfeelings about the squircle going in and then after two weeks of where i dont like the squircle it is just too chunky on my wrist i can fit three chopsticks into the gap between the the the watch and the uh and my wrist and its just a chunker its a very chunky its a very chunky boy and so orange like bef of watch ulter was orange this is so radioactively biohazard orange its a little upsetting how orange it does its its i dont have it on me right now but it looks like a Halloween watch i actually ended up appreciating the regular galaxy watch seven which i am wearing right now a whole lot more because i like oh it doesnt hurt me to wear it because its just too big its too big for my wrist and like the apple watch ultra is also big for my wrist i can stick a bunch of stuff in here theres like a gap but something about it being a square just made it a lot harder for me to where when i was testing the sleep apnea feature it was just like nope we cant get readings from you so i actually had to wear the other one to get the readings and test that feature out so it was it makes it sound bad but its actually a really great android watch i would say its a one of the best android watches that are available i just theres a little part of me that hurts that Sampson decided to make an apple watch in order to create this excellent Android watch it just felt wrong it felt wrong to make cause i truly do love how weird in unique the Samsung smart watches have been with their rotating bezzles and just Samsung being weird about how it does health stuff uh the ages metric is just completely bonkers i dont understand why its there i was definitely gonna ask you about this by the way you said age in that sense for advanced guilication and products yeah, could they yet told you what that means so you can theres theres a whole like informational section that you can read and that, and the Samsung health app about what it is and its basically measuring compounds when fats and sugars in your blood oxidize, how is it doing this Samsung wont say it just says theres a new three in one active biosensor with more led colors than what not and theres a little spectram and it goes from low to high and is if your low, i guess your metabolically younger than your age and if your high, i guess your not your medimerk the skin yes!

are they theyre not like picking you, but the watches it like taking your butt no!

everything is not theres not like a theres not like a chemical sense its like in your sweat theyre just doing the thing that the everyone theyre just shining late into your skin and based on like how it reflex back theyre just telling you things that have not been fda cleared its very experimental like i did not know what this this actual feature was so you know when i was getting brief done and went up to Samsung and im like so what is this and they were basically like well, we have this new sensor so we thought why not throw this also in here this is the excellent Samsung answer all time and and i was like oh OK so like how how do you intend people to use it theyre like actually, we dont know like wejust kind we just kind of want to see how people use it and so a lot of the new features are quodoncall ai powered and yougetting these ai and sites and theyre telling me things that i dont know what to do with because this on the one hand the watch was like hey, you have not been consistent with your sleep little lady you should work on that and then i refreshed the affinits like a great job stand consistent with your sleep schedule and i was just like so which is it, which is it, which is it i just had one night where i didnt like have my sleep schedule completely perfect, so i guess thats what it was reacting, thats not helpful and then the age is metric theyre like well if you want improve your score, im smaced up in the middle, so i dont know i guess that means im my age uh metabolically who knows wait i just wait i can i just stick with the age thing for one second yeah!

so they have a metrical 的 h, which i think most people know what a metrical age thats a measure?

which is your age yes!

right thats a well known blabel for a thing uh and then it measures i first all i mean just quote your own review back to v yes, meanwhile the age metric is baffling is what you have written here?

yes!

uh it is baffling so then it its shining a light threearsed and then somehow from what it the reflections of that light it is tracking how protein and fat are oxidized by sugar and then tell you whether thats a low meeting or high and then theyre saying that is something called age and i just want to point out how deeply meaningfully confusing that is its your metabolic ade these things get out of here but like!

but theres no but have is like a new metric this is a metric that exists in the like the literature this is a metric that exists in research and scientists are studying it but in a consumer watch, it means nothing it means absolutely nothing in a consumer watch, you did so it tells me that i am like kind of in the medium, neither low or high in the yellow suction so to speak and its like OK so to improve your ages metric heres know how old you are yeah you do i did put my like demographok for me so presumably if youre?

its is it all related to your actual age its like if your green is your metabolic age younger than your actual age yes!

thats basically what theyll tell this is the idea so mess this is the idea it OK and then its not messed up it means nothing it means nothing so you doesnt be messed up its just baffling it makes no sense i like new!

i like new metrics i just im trying to understand this one so somewhere, someonesomewhere is like a 25 year old has a metablism of x in a viewtals or 25 by shining。

a white from a smart watching nearest this is a new this is a new this is kind of a new thing that theyre doing in wearables its not just Samsung like a basically or a recently did a thing or its like we can tell you what your cardio, vascular ages and whether its aligned with your physical age or not um and so theres just like this obsession with telling you, whether you are like physically speaking aligned with expectations for your actual age, or whether your quote unquote physically, physiologically younger than your actual age。

or i feel like older theres a lot of people in soken value who are!

ultra im just saying theres a path perhaps a winding path there is but its i do its i do not want a smart ring to tell me if my heart is dying faster than i have what is listen!

listen!

listen!

there are there are healthnotto want this information i dont necessarily think its actually good for their mental health to have this information, but the app was just basically like hey, so herehow you can improve your ages index of metric that means absolutely nothing and youll never guess what the advice is because its two eathealthy now yeah, sleep well and exercise song just like oh, thanks always get yeah!

never always well!

Alright!

i like all Sampson devices this all this works best if youre in the galaxy CO system yes, yeah!

assume not of your snapin it what gets worse if you have a Pixel or you have a one plus well de would you like to have your ekgs and E a 5 detection you will not get that unless you have a galaxy found, would you like to know if you have sleep, APNIA you will not get that unless you have a galaxy found, because that requires the Samsung health monitor app, which is separate from Samsung health meeting yous not going to get that and some of the ai features um are galaxy phone like only as well, which actually, i think thats great for you because the ai was very impermiss for me and all the advisorcafe, it would be like hey!

your ages is not ideal exercise more and then the ai is like youexercizing a little too much you should rest because its affecting your sleep and also yousleeping well and not well at the same time so its like cool great thanks i feel like its a big as to be like where you need a new watch and a new phone um and a new ring and all of that stuff so i did last week we asked listeners to send us a note if they were all in on the Sampson ecosystem uh i would i would just gonna guess and say that if i asked listeners to send us notes about why they were all in on the applico system we would crash the internet right like we would just get a lot i i like say in a breath like i dont think carplace very good and we email three days man what all day long people like how dare you uh?

we ask for galaxeco system users we got two emails um ah putting out there so one person shone thank you shone for emailling they wrote in theyre upgetting from fold for two fold 6 um, which is you know great uh theydoing it because the fold for broke the warntee on the vices cached and they found a way through the cell phone warranty to get a fold six yeah right they like they try to use uh the same license Samsung repair company you break i fix uh that cost money so then they try these there and x warranty they were tonight then am x called same song they said no and then they went to south on transport they had and that replace that they not building the fold six, so that is one way to stay in the Sampson ecosystem is a nightmare repair journey because youful the seals are foled for brook i would not say this is the type of email we get when we ask why people staying apply the system uh such one we got another one uh thank you so much emailing from uh Israel um she this one says you ask here from a galaxy ecosystem user i am that user, which is so sings truly appreciate that line there are two s im typing as my galaxy Tab s a ultra i upgraded from ZEFOLD 4 is 6 i use the tablet form factor much more than the phone fold factor, which means i have both a galaxy tablet and they are constantly using their phone in tablet mode this is the most Android tablet usage Ive ever heard of my telems you you breaking your your whatever you do everyonelike thats fifty percent of the usage and theyre galaxy watch five Pro and theyre waiting on their galaxy watch Ultra, and then they have four TVs including a frame tv, the Washington dryer Sampson they have the air dresser, the fridge, the oven, a robot vacume, a sport things hub, a bleu ray player year, my people, and then he says and something else unforgetting im sure uh and then are they Korean and then at the end it says my husband use is a knife under a knife pad oh wow!

theres a case study so like so i might just want thank you i love this um i was just right back but um uh you you neglected to say why you have chose that so i would love to know what why um and if anyone else is out there wants to send us in out with with their listwhy im im dying to read them because we know so much about the applico system and how people feel about it trust me i we know so much youre not quiet im dying to know how people would other ecosystem school about it uh and its like really interesting get this these net so keep running in im ivery curious that, said my housing using iPhone iPad is very funny like deeply funny yeah, thats theres something going on oh i love it someone is very excited about rcs oh my gosh oh thats so good yeah i mean look at theres bunch Sampson devices and says somehow ive ended up in the lg think you ecosystem because thats our washer in drier infridge oh boy god only knows why and not like man i better i got an update the other i got a notification of day that that new songs for summer were available for the Washington dryer as i yes, this is the dream oh, my god that wait wait songs for your washer and drier to play every quarter lg sends new little icons for the seasons and then issues new like songs this is why they go on there they couldnt make phones anymore theyre like we have to divert those resources to the wash share your hire theres fifty engineers the cassio keep working didnt in didnt, play and once accorder they send them to me and its great i truly i truly love it this is incredible we cant wrap up the Samsung conversation without talking that Saturday Samsung Saturday Samsung so if you dont know this is uh what we have started calling sampsuns relentless attempts to sell more products, which are all born of the company losing some money sales are flat and they issued an edict saying everyone had to come to work six days a week until they were covered crazy inits its are corporate in place, which means a bunch of suits or sitting around Samsung headquarters on Saturday being like summer shit theyre not making vertheyare the suits they that they what are they gonna do so that its only weird promotions so we have covered you get a free tv if you buy a tv, which is amazing um we have cover you get a free tv if you buy phone also amazing you would think you would continue in this evaine uh but no last Saturday i guess burst of creativity uh and they decided that the best way to market the galaxy z flip in America would be to say that the z flip is a folding phone a little foopy guy is ideal for busy police officers to whereas bodygame?

哈哈哈 thats so Samsung its very amp song ah its so bad like i have put of folding phone on my shirt i think i am safe to say im one of the few people used try that outside of these police officers is a dom idea like this is not a good idea that it just doesnt seem secure also like where are they good do do they wear vas this this they worked so they didnt just like issue them like team mobile funsts they partner theres a theres a post on Samsung website its titled Samsung technology is helping please authority protects the public safety。

which is a lot and they partnerered with a company called visual labs, which is quote a leading body camera solution provider catalism um and then two police partners in missri did a pilot program with all of this they have a customize z flip um that has like slightly different buttons uh the phones can be set to automatically begin recording when the phone detects are pursued or if youre in the car, when the emergency lights returned on and in the video footer just sent to the visual labs clap OK, looking at this, looking at this thats verdiculous its so bad that is so well get ready v because 25 more policedepartments are gonna start whereas he flip his body can so lord oh oh when i was wrong it there is a partnership a team able that there are team of phone like what do you?

what do you need the rest of the phone on your person for like you just need a camera i just like the idea that people are gonna like flip it up in and like make a TikTok in like yeah yeah theyre gonna start doing some dances um yeah no i good or not okay theres a theres a this whole pr。

this whole press race is great, but um uh, theres just like other benefits, which are basically like this phone has a camera in it, so one of the benefits is in addition to their uses bodywarn cameras the footdevices can help improve evidence gathering in transparency no by clearly documenting details of arrests another interactions absolutely not theres literally a feature just for camera raw stuff that wasnt there?

body cares do not have that this is such a bad idea dry in the the push cooking here!

put the cocaine here in the Dash。

uh, yes, the galaxy zeflip a quote the galaxy zeflip additionally functions as the digital camera needed for taking pictures of crime scene evidence in audio recorder for witness interviews and a personnel locator for tracking the officers location to GPS this is just a phone like i just want to be very clear what they have described is a phone you know i can be thought by using a phone on this body can right its its very good job i subspect in the bushes should i just want you all to imagine the high fives uh, the Saturday afternoon theres like what you know, theres like one slice of peats a left in the box the cheese is getting a little weired and i like what if we just gave it to cups like you know it is like a lightning bolt moment they were out the door in their cars like we did it days over sales are up sale 24525 please department they show 25 were oh good its its very good it is truly very good saturi Sampson it never never get something alright we should take a break we are cruising our ways we way over here we ms like a breakback!

its officially mid August which in my mind is peak summer but for college students across the country its time to start thinking about returning to campus and for college professors its hightime to figure out where you stand on artificial intelligence in the classroom。

students using ai to write their papers um lack of clarity in some classes both mind in others about what the official university policy is what a department policy is what an individual classroom policy is around the use of chat gbt to do student academic work sounds kind of stressful to be honest does not feel very summary uh and so going into this summer teaching my own class i decided to write my own ai policy prohibiting ai and my classroom。

how professors are readingthemselves for the robots this semester on today explains this week?

i were back time to lighting around as ever unsponsored i feel like the rudest thing David did was leave for the week and not pay responsibly right 哈哈哈 leave me hanging bro what sponsorby David Pierce you know Ive saying like set the tone sadly still unsponsored were still the market we get a lot of weird emails from people her like ill do my care to start up were not going to let you do that sorry that but if you have a you like a real company and a lot of money uh what touch with some someone thought you not mean that the other said has but someone will talk it alright heresai when you do it in this week, we have like three topics two of them just have a lot of headlines so im just going to read all of the headlines and ill like figure out way on the first one that was just one headline in its are false uh logitex new co hanack of favor was on decoder this week she is the new co she just started like late last year we had the old co braking derrow on several times um i like i one of my ideas with decoders theres more than five companies in the world and so we should talk to all the companies in pay attention to them that generally goes well, then lost one is coming i think is undercovered right, like theyjust around you dont think about them very much and it turned out under brackand are all like how much chat work was bonkers like hes like i have twenty three directreports everyone just allowed to do whatever they want i buy companies i leave them alone theres no overlap just like everyone have a good time, which is how you end up with them by like fifty headcount companies and they are just gonna do anything i like i wonder they have a strategy the answer was they do, which is ever leave everybody alone, which work this to whatever accept brackonly used law check he now uh works for i think how the VF brands they own vans in supreme and the north face so the guy you ran la check is not the co supreme incredible were gonna see i like us um were im gonna try to get them back to week so supreme thats something um and they have a new seal honeka who came from a univer and procuring gamble she is back on the consumer goods and like marketing really interesting and i you know i was like are you gonna change this wacky corporate structure and that was what i thought decoder was too bad truly thats what i thought we were inside and then we did talk with that for a while and then shes like i wanna build a forever mouse and this keeps happening to me and decoder im like what explain and shes like i wanna be able to really beautiful mas is a very heavy very premium and will just do software updates river and that will be your forever mouse like you will just have it forever and im thinking well ive had this mouse forever right its same right its like ten years sales are people replacing mice you know so very confused a very confused and i you can hear if you listen to the transcript reads one way, but you actually go on listen coder its very you can im just laughing like im like what are he talking that uh im like theres only two ways to monetize hard over time it is subscriptions or just ads and shes like yep theres the two ways im like so youre gonna do a subscription mouse and shes like i am and i encourage you to listen this because im just like a losing my mind like what are my subscribing to with the subscription mouse right so we uh its an ai suffer we know what is the ai software for my match yeah what you gonna change the dpi based on what im doing no no no no no its not even its not even that its like you were like that heres nothing no no its worth that um theyre theyre putting the buttons on the mouse so that when you see a field a a like any text field on your computer the mouse will do the prompting for you absolutely know so theyve already rolled this out in options pro in options plus no this is a thing this is a thing in in logic mice today for like new ormize why older mice are not allowed to have the software i didnt get to because i was just what right like you can listen to me but d wire my brain and this conversation um so i i was like so master shes like yeah this is our video conferencing software works and as a but its thats a service this is a mask, which is a yeah mask put like a beautiful and i believe she said diamond across the mask so that was decoder these things happened to me and declare all the time i what i was not expecting was the idea of the subscription mouse his just like its a new cycle and it was just like the new ca ripping but now, theres a full newcycle a watch sectingsubscription lights oh, now and i will tell you not since like hp was like subscription printers have people been this unhappy about any idea that Ive ever heard i mean there there are youtuvers are making YouTube videos about it?

Ive seen TikToks about its a crazy its like it is lets living its own little life people are throwing way theyre logic my like no!

no were not throwing away this is really gonna be my forever logic mouse now im never yeah giving it up yeah i will say the mouse some i other computer there is easily fifteen years old yeah like you just get one its kind of gross i dont im not saying its not a little gross they get discusting but like you just didnt office you find one out of a box someone put it there two years ago dons sweat you can see my thumb sweat on the stop its a radio show stop sharing people your thumbsweyed its just you know describe it for the audience i dont know!

like i will tell you i rarely, rarely get deeply surprised by what happens on decoder its mostly show about our charts is listings now and then every dollar again the these past couple months the zoom co came out and was like were building ai clones of everyone to put in zoom meetings top and again i just encourage you can just listen to me try to, try to, respond to that in real time and look ill take the heat on decoder people like youte too nice whatever like im always trying to be better im always trying to ask harder questions just imagine what its like in real time to be faced with someone being like the future of zooms, ai, clones and meetings and you have to look acknowledge that Bert like not die uh and then formulate a series of questions that make any sense that like tell a little store its its area than a looks is on trying to say keeper there right theyre dead and you have to write and you have to keep them talking uh it is just it just much more challenging and subscriship is you can hear me just what are you talking records crash yeah you god uh siwas not intending the causeof new cycle about mice it was truly not my intent but um i hope he doesnt do subscription mice i try very hard to be like i dont think thats a good idea please dont um but you know logic has this really interesting, probably like it is interesting to think of their big problem um which is if you believe that ai is gonna be important and weve talked about it in this episode it might be that you just talk to your phone a bunch more right, and it just like does stuff for you it might be that natural interfaces natural language interfaces using the cameras interface all the stuff starts to take over from traditional pcs more and more more this is been the dream for a long time theres a i you know, theres a reason that Google and Microsoft areas calls ai a a platform shift and if that happens like my sales go down, right we if we use that sub competers left and we talk to our phones more whatever maybe the say but pc sales are go down and then my sales go down and then we just like if your watch like you like well, how do i preserve the revenue and like gold plated diamond encrussed subscriptionize and like maybe thats not the right solution but you can see the pressure its like it was it was a good conversation that i was not exciting just that little bit to to resonate as much as a cost that, said we have to find the brother Lazer printers of mice ah, oh, i work the us the other thing there were TikToks about subscription nice and that put me into like people complaining about subscriptions TikTok and i got to one wers a very nice like young woman was like bitching a better a very nice woman um they got me to one where i think an influencer she was just complaining about her subscription printer and all the comments like by a brotheracer printer and i was like i did it but the version accomplished its goal the one thing we stand for yeah yeah by one piece of part last river i think the version of that alright so thats lighting around one i feels like were on a consensus that were not gonna do ai parentsubscription mice no dont like it dont wanna no absolutely not the idea that your mouse is the one that creates the prompt for open a alike its both OK you know its not idea that sounds like a mouse routed yeah if youre a diy hard options plus ecosystem person write us in out all right, so OK heres heres the other two where im just going to read a bunch headlines for landing around the first very much related to what we can talk about photos um there is just a bunch a deep fake news this week everyone knows its a problem we know we got to stop it and then some people are like script were doing it anyway, and by some people, i mean eu on mosk who post a deep fake they have compares that violets axis own policies by defake that were implemented under his ownership this isnt like there is an old rule of disagreese with his bulldozing it he made a rule about defix has everyone nosis problem any post this ad with Harris its like Harris is campaign add with the beyonc song, but they replace the voice over with her saying by this tool 嗯, OK, you know like in many ways this is fu like this is just standard political parity look, if i hired, it combo here some personator to do this would it be a problem i dont know, but if you already have the rule thats like dont do this you should yeah you should not as he owner the platform do it so he doesnt care he doesnt get a shit um but thats for we are right its like already happening theres already these like weird moments occurring because of just bad faith actors on both sides um on in particular one side um but its already happening then heres the rest of the headlines Microsoft once congress to outlaw ai generated deep fix Google tweaks search to hide explicit deep fix so if Google d ranks your websiter knocks your website for having deep fix on it especially especially them to people anymore theyre just going to go away from search and congress want to want to carve out intimate d aid fix, which is basically what you would theres a theres a language conversation here about what you should call these so you might call these like ai revench porn no revench ports like a very loaded word for a lot of reasons so now were gonna try ai intimate aid fix um so you carved that up from section to thirty right so that means right now you post up to uh platform like Facebook or x or Instagram whatever, those platform is not label for epost that suction to thirty make scenaric go around and theyre saying no actually, if you allow intimate aid fix, you are now liable for them, but you is, and that basically means you have to moderate them so thats one idea um and then the copyright office um just issue the huge report on ai and copyright, which they even working on for quite some time and there first chapter of the support was about to fix and there there you can read its very long, its very good, its very easy to read it will will link to in the shop here um but there are base like yeah copyright can law can to this?

we need a new law this is a disaster hereso we think the new law should work so were just set this moment where everyone is seeing the problem very clearly and then lastly uh in the senate the no fake act has been introduced its not close to passing but yet another bill to band fix so regulate fixed so right this point now where everybody sees the problem right?

Google is a platform, is doing some stuff to stop it Microsoft is a company is asking congress to outlaw it the government is like we dont have the laws to do it some parts the governments are saying we need to do it it feels like this is the first big ai regulation thats gonna happen it feels like outsource the first one that has to happen deep fix bad deep fix bad so yeah i yeah its like this spider man pointing as spider man me and were like whats whatgoing on whos in charge here like you on musk is making roles about deep fix and then not following them not following them the government is like yeah we dont know i agree de defix bad especially the the ones that are being used to her as people in intimidate people in bullet people like those are i think fully bad and if you read that copy are office support theyre like a lot of our law right now is set up to protectvanist people like the patchwork of state lightness laws and publicity laws are all basily like if youre celebrity and Samsung uses you to sell refrigerators you cant do that and i say that because that is a real case that happened in our justice system were Samsung made a robot that look like Vana white to solve refrigerators and vana white sued Samsung and one oh my god has a robot look too much like vana white real case real this is a real thing that happened oh my god and thats like all of all of our law right now setup to deal with that problem, which is wonderful um but its all for famous but you have to be famous enough so that people would be can be confused but it regular people have no protection cause none of them are famous so the cover office is saying no this problem is gonna affect regular people its Gonna affect teenage girls in schools so already is its gonna affect teenage boys in schools its gonna affect everybody its if you dont like your teacher, you can defig that like all of this bulling that can happen or defix is real happening now we dont have the loss to stop it so then you say we could stop it but that brings you all live back around to but what if i just hire a Trump in personator to look at a camera and be like im bad you not like that is straight forwardly like political speech it should be protected the line there is really blurry and i think were were in for maybe a pendual swing pretty far in the direction of all of that is not allowed and then over time we have to swing a back to oh you should probably be allowed to higher the other some person are right hes dead um right but should the should the tailor swift unpersonator at the one to see no be allowed the attly tailor swift like probably where how are you gonna draw that line its pretty unclear right now what would snl do at that point because then the whole thing is just like man i dont end me the people at the copyright office already were just trying to like proactively think about how to deal with this cause its its a lot easier when its reactionary when youre like oh bad thing happened we need to do something but then to actually think of it in a proactive manner and be like how are people going to use this book i dont know where only as good as the were only as good as the most unhinged teenage boy in the classroom, just thinking up of the most crazy way to use these things like i was that boy and dont allow me to have access to computers that was a real mistake the whole time um else need many we talk about photos in cameras and device makers all time you know Google is changing search to high explicit fix Microsoft wants regulations do you see that expressed in the products that theyre making it all its a its funny that theyre kind of like asking for someone to make rules on what they can i cant do and if they dont have the rules, they want stop themselves yeah!

its a weird thing of like theyre all sort of like what we definitely agree that you know fake bad stuff is bad so but here dry chicken into your photo or you know its sort of like theres no agreement between like and were going to flow down and wait till we figure this out or you know like have some kind of it industry standard that these things are like yeah, a abiding by its just sort of like well were just gonna run as fast as we can over here and then like some people will figure out the loss right see alsen i told you the bleuri bumblebee it absolutely can destroy the fabric of our society you said it what mutes what it can it all started with the bumblev um most like that i just think he is the node exact um which i i but i think by the time you listen to this should be in the senate um this is basically reaction to open i install a Hanson。

you know the new voices out with open ai itactually truly impressive and like very cool ways but obviously they made a voice it sounded a lot like sorts ranson shes really match might suit them whole curfuffle thats a great time for positions stact be like a curfuffle heresome stuff that im doing um so they had a discussion graphlast year they updated it they have this year and now um the goal is to give people a federal property right to approve the use of their voice appearance or likeness uh and expand create liability to people who use their voice superior like this uh without permission OK, thats like a lot but again s another exists 嗯哼 again black Trump inpersonators exist i sometimes do British accent, i dont know if i sometok British person whos real like theres theres i i think were probably in from a moment where the pendulum swings way way too far in that might be fine, but i we just need to like be alert for it because that pending serning too far might be appropriate given how damaging deep fix maybe especially for younger people, especially needs not consensual intimate uh ways but its also like oh man like you might go you might just along personational long the way and we just like dont know the answer yet but theres a lot of that action happening it seems like company so thats lighting around one waiting around to serverid this on last week uh last week David mission a call David office he totally episode the end of Googles we know it as like bro you just mean search general he is like yeah im going on a vacation he changed, um sorry change, but we were we were basically a moment and that was a the real thesis of last, we subset is that the entire like web in search market is changing and we keep that off of um Reddit getting Google to pay it for to index the site and then blocking everybody else so there are some backlash that right thats the closing of the open web so suddenly the only way to search Reddit with a search engine is Google weird thats a weird new outcome that we dont have before uh Microsoft is you know Ben blocked perplexcd is blocked read at cst foffmen talks to our own outseeath this week um hes like everybody is spamy um hes like a Bing anthropic perplexity weve all been at after them and the big quote is its a real painting as to block these companies so he just wants money and this looks like the future right, we just want money if you want it if you want to build a i power search engine the craller sight uh, similarly perplexity, which is got its off into a lot of trouble uh, especially showing payworld content without paying anyone 那就 scraping sites and a lot of troubles about scraping sites even though its blocked, which they keep saying like you dont know how the web works and ill always like tell me um tell me how you think it works uh and they want say um but perplexity is started cutting checks to publishers um time just people should be German publisher and fortune are in the first batch, i assume, there will be more if i any disclose of uh open, i pays our company box media for its search gpt product you can just put that on the list right uh open, i is paying the Atlantic and a bunch of other publishers as well, thing thats like youve got a pay search engines have to pay to index or content on the open web is not just like a blip its the thing thats happening like it is the change that is happening across the industry everybody want to get paid especially from the new breed search engines because everyday made the mistake with Google where they dont ask money and now Google is like were doing ai anyway, and no one can turn Google off right next that we i mentioned circle the searches everywhere uh desktop chrome is getting something looks a lot like circle the search you see gooles building ai search ish experiences right into the browser and then chrome is also getting an ai product compares in mode where if you have a bunch of products open in tabs, chrome will just send the size the tabs and dollar compares to free, which is legitimately very cool um and at least you get to have to load the web hiches yeah, which is like a good love that yeah um uh we see the the web is just fully changing like a whatever you think ai is doing to productivity or workers or whatever right now at this moment how we think about the web in in particular search on the web or atarity the past is passed like its gone its in a review mirror we might only be a little bit far away from it but its not coming back like where were just in a mode where youre gonna sign up use a search engine and maybe well have a different set of sources than the next search engine based on the deals they have made!

which is going to be really weird its just strikes me every time you know Reddit comes up is not like were racing to have you know Google once answer your question without you clicking on anything you know chat bots want i answer your question or like robots can answer your question but then also like reddit is incredibly valuable and its just people talking to people like thats the thing that you know we want to get to insearch now where im like you know i have a question about my plant or whatever its like i i dont want the ai generated answer i dont want you whatever bleurb like i want to read an answer from a person and it just strange me if thats at the center of this, like what if you could just talk the robots like, but the robots need to listen to a person who knows the answer yeah!

i mean and reddit is itself imputed with ai generated text so thats the next turn and then on top of it all the new information is a bunch of kids talkin the TikTok oh and like yeah and we find we find out this week uh that TikTok is one of the biggest customers of opening i because theyre using all that for the regular ms and sorting and track like in your like oh, this is a weird little circle where gonna be more Silas on the interithnumber before because the open web did not make enough of the people who make the original content enough money and so like no one wants to repeat that so now its like you get a pass and like whether that actually comes back to individual readers were contributing remains we seen but read it off see if often s like i am itional block you like i got my money from Google and now everyone else is blocked unless they pay up and i think you can do it because he just needs Google like Google is Gonna send right it a lot of traffic and thats fine you can block Bang and like pay up or your dead um and i think eventually theyre all gonna end a pay because if you have an ai search product that cant look at reddit, i think a lot of people are like what wheres the good stuff and youre gonna youre just gonna add up in a weird loop, we even covering this a lot like we over a year now we we covered sort of the end of the seo industry in what that did to the web and all the stuff because we wanted to mark like this is what it looks like now and i did i honestly did not expect it to feel as different as fast as it feels today like the the end of the search error that we knew is i think just firmly here and you can see even this week is just like heres six more headlines that are just like heresales changing hmm i keep thinking about a friend who she was buying a new mattress and shes like i just asked yeah cloud did it for me cloud like yeah which is the oh which one is not perplexity its in throttle its on thropic yeah oh god and i just like my eyes get wider and like put the little mattress review dot com that it was scraping you know i dont know thats a whole my field too now my husband does it my husband is like an avid ChatGPT as a search engine user before it even had this project and it keys been using Gemini and all the other stuff and hes like oh!

yeah, i just asked that this is how i build some code for this and this is how i like cause he just Google just doesnt give him the answers that he needs anymore and so like Ive just been watching them just completely shift how they used the internet over the last year and im just doing the same things that i have always done and i just am like umm this this this feels like getting left behind maybe i should try using it uh maybe i should try using it more in the ways that they do but i just run into the same problem as you do allisten where im just like i just i dont like the source that they pull from and these in these things im just like oh thats i i dont trust randoblogsite dot com givemehey other one i started randoblogsite dot com site randoblogsite dot com perspectureothers hey that was my first website um you know ivenusing a chatube for Olympics trivia because i assume that the in at like what its like whats this cable on the fencer is like i that answers been the same for a long time right so you just like i have chat should be mapped the action button of my FM15 pro and it works like it just delivers in answer to you and you like i dont know thats right right its its like close enough yeah!

but its like its hard to yeah its like its hard to scoring system i hope thats true you know yeah youre not like judging the fencing like it judges are not using that actually, we have a big feature we are in this week about ai being used to judge to ask you should read that its very good um i mentioned that because we are wayover thank you ah we got we got a wrap this up thank you for indulging in chasforchasts being now so that was great it was god was fun it was good times good David if you listening your dad to make you never come back um so like out like a gold fish over here um alright!
