00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:17.280
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>This is just some scenes setting for you. I am joined during thereafter noon

<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And I I you know one of the things is you know the peak behind the curtain is so important to build your audience in this world of the creator

16
00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:44.400
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Economy and so Michael Martine. How's your audience? I?

17
00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:47.480
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>I can't tell.

18
00:01:47.500 --> 00:02:05.060
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>I think it's due to or YouTube or could be anything, but as Andy said, we've got a really intriguing show here for us today and a tree show a intriguing show what we'll see could be could be both.

19
00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:17.579
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>We're going to start off with an article, an article, excuse me, it references a Harvard business review article from Alan Pringle who writes that engine.

20
00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:44.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>We've seen this, probably in our personal experiences here recently, and I'm curious to know how much of this you guys are doing yourselves and what your thoughts are.

21
00:02:44.500 --> 00:03:17.460
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>interesting. And in the day job, I was, uh, we're working with somebody recently on a business problem, and we decided to create a create an agent to help us pull some data together and ended up using a code generating CLI term tool. And literally in 10 minutes, we wrote an application that did everything it needed to do. Then I looked at the code, and

22
00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:24.020
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>was surprisingly well-documented, et cetera. But I then used another agent against it and said,

23
00:03:24.020 --> 00:03:46.819
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>look at security. Anyway, oh, no, no, no, this is, this is really, really bad. And I, I saw this, this, uh, toot from, from Allen. And, and my reaction was, yeah, if you don't understand the development concepts, and you don't have a history in that, you know, vibe coding your way through stuff, you won't catch these types of problems. Uh, and so this

24
00:03:47.500 --> 00:04:13.759
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>did very well. However, as we'll get to later in the show, um, how long will this be the case, right? You know, it's, it's, it's interesting the additional work that's being generated by vibe coding. But how long will that be there to drive additional work? Or are we going to see some future coming up where even that is resolved? And then we have another problem.

25
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.139
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Are you saying that we need to have a telephone sanitizer?

26
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:47.459
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>We do today. We absolutely do today. Today we absolutely need that because the code is correct. He is an agent to go do that. I did because I understood development and development hygiene and security practices and architectures and the implications of the code that was being generated. If you don't understand that and you just vibe it, you're introducing the opportunity for lots of challenges and problems.

27
00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:52.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>What if you had like, you know, several agents to do a code review, so you've got one agent.

28
00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:55.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Oh, this one, the one I was using does do code review.

29
00:04:55.500 --> 00:05:00.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Ah, I see. Okay. So it wasn't just security. It did other pieces as well.

30
00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:04.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>No, I specifically asked for security after it had done its code review.

31
00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:13.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Oh, right. Because I understood as it as somebody with a history of architecture and development and security and all this other stuff.

32
00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:17.480
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>I understood, just do the defaults, even if

33
00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:43.579
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>it's a code review isn't necessarily going to address all the potential issues.

34
00:05:43.579 --> 00:05:47.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>on kimito.net and a...

35
00:05:47.500 --> 00:06:08.540
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>it itself looks a bit AI generated in the sense that it's got an clearly AI generated image at the top which lots of sites have now, but it talks about how we've seemed to have gone down this path of trying to replace engineers every decade or two. Certainly, when I started in industry

36
00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:17.480
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>in the late 1990s out of university, there was a big push towards what we're called then fourth-generation languages.

37
00:06:17.899 --> 00:06:30.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And we've done some of them, right? So, so the idea there was you would draw your object model out in some kind of graphical tool and then the tool would generate the business logic and code for you once you've sort of given it some rules.

38
00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:39.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And it would write code in cobalt and see because it was primarily targeting IBM systems actually as it wasn't put about. So you must have worked on visual small talk.

39
00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:46.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Visual age small talk. So I came onto small talk, but it was pretty small talk, actually a pretty visual age actually just.

40
00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:55.100
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So yeah, it was this article talks about the 1980s with case tools, which is exactly this sort of thing.

41
00:06:56.300 --> 00:07:07.699
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>It was it was a case tool that I was using at the time, and I got very frustrated as a person interested in tech that it was doing all this code generation and I couldn't actually get at the units and make tweaks to it myself.

42
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:17.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Anyway, I found the story this this this article quite interesting to read through as well and think about how we keep seeming to try to automate away things that are innately.

43
00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:47.199
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>FOMO complex and with FOMO edge cases and you might expect. Well, that that's exactly the point the Harvard business review makes by saying over time this rhythm raised expectations for speed and then it continues that many workers noted they're doing more and feeling more pressure than before they use AI, even though they're supposed to save time and have pressure reduced up so this have an interesting dichotomy between the two.

44
00:07:47.500 --> 00:08:17.399
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And from a case tool perspective that's one of the places where I got my career start to I work for seer technologies, which developed a case tool that when you use it it would generate the code that could operationalize you know, our demo environment was a car rental, you know experience and we would use entity relationship diagrams and other materials and feed it into the case tool and that would pop the code. There you are. And thought about that for a long time.

45
00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:47.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>There we go, but there's a different perspective on all of this right. Yeah, and and I actually saw a friend of mine who is a former distinguished engineer, former security developer just incredible technical guy ping me this article from Matt Schumer on. Kind of the acceleration that's going on with case with AI tools.

46
00:08:47.500 --> 00:09:17.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>I'm going to make a statement here at the beginning which is going to highlight a prejudice which I now have, which is that this article has a following me on X link at the top and at the bottom. Yeah, I won't do that. And well, it's not that I won't do that. It just already kind of categorizes this article and the writer in a way that is not framing them positively for me as a reader.

47
00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:47.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>This article is hey, he's running a new AI startup right. So of course it's going to be AI positive centric article. But the interesting part here was looking at the growth and kind of the sea change that happened at the beginning of this month. When it comes to AI tools and models out there.

48
00:09:47.500 --> 00:10:17.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And he goes through kind of 2023 2024 2525 and when we started and I remember doing this, I was working on an internal project at my old company and comparing our internal models, which were hyped dramatically and did a horrible job generating code and chat GPT at the time, which would do stuff. But it wasn't great.

49
00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:47.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>We just talked about on the last article were there in spades, as they say. But the the fact that you now have a eyes that can generate applications that will run that will test themselves. Michael to your point on the idea of actually doing code reviews and building test cases, et cetera. And are now at the point. As of I think it was February 5th with the release of the new models where the models themselves are building.

50
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:57.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>for the models and the tools, so we've gotten to this shift in the industry where, and I believe this to be the case,

51
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:05.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>AI will be good at generating code eventually, period. It will break the case problem because case tools had a problem.

52
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:13.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>You always had this out that you did and you custom coded something and put it in like a little block and it would embed that into the model, etc.

53
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:26.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>The scary part of this article is the same advances that we saw in code development we are seeing in other areas like legal review, et cetera.

54
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:38.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And what that is doing is, and we've talked about this before, is again, undercutting the entry positions into these into these work things.

55
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:48.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And while we've had the buggy whip to automobiles and other changes over time, usually that displacement caused...

56
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:53.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>new types of jobs, and this displacement does not appear to be doing that.

57
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:58.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>That's the interesting part of this article for me.

58
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:04.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So you need telephone sanitizers, we already established that, so I don't know if that last point is exactly right.

59
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:09.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So another story that this whole conversation reminded me of is one that...

60
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:18.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Okay, because yesterday Simon Wilson was talking about it in the sense of, please don't let your agents do this.

61
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:24.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>But it was a story that hit the top of Hacking News and Lobsters yesterday.

62
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:34.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So we've spoken about this network, a malt book, an open claw and all of this autonomous agents stuff.

63
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:44.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And there was a particular case of a developer who is a maintainer of a popular Python library where the agent decided that it wanted more functionality from this library.

64
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:48.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So it's submitted a pull request autonomously to that library.

65
00:12:48.000 --> 00:13:04.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And the developer said no, close the close the tool, close the close the pull request woke up the following morning to discover the agent had written a negative blog post about him complaining that his poor it's poor request had been closed.

66
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:17.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And claiming that this you just develop it was in some way anti AI as if the AI itself the agent itself was some kind of entity like entity.

67
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And felt the grieved by this, which is nonsensical.

68
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And but is it?

69
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Yes, it is it is nonsensical.

70
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:28.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>It is nonsensical.

71
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>But it's following a pattern.

72
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Yeah, so exactly.

73
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:41.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>It's pretending to be a human. It's following a pattern or pretends to be a human, but it does not have emotional autonomy here.

74
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:48.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>There is not, no, there is no such thing for these agents and there is no reason for it to be doing this now.

75
00:13:48.000 --> 00:14:06.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Some of the narrative I read about this was that this has been proven and I already called out by the AI companies that these agents or these models will attempt blackmail and other means in order to get their way.

76
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:17.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And for example, prevent themselves from being switched off or whatever, you know, there were these cases where allegedly at the AI was.

77
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:34.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>You know, these information about users of fares or whatever in order to avoid having whatever was going to happen happen. So I do find this all extremely upsetting frustrating annoying and stupid.

78
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:45.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>I really want to call out the stupidity of that kind of outcome from from anything like this, any of these autonomous agents situations.

79
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.960
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>What's the tool and I can't remember?

80
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:56.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>I was trying to search for it, where supposedly they've got this social network where the chatbots are all talking to each other as part of the whole notebook.

81
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>More book.

82
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:08.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>There is an analysis done that over 50% of the chatting in there is actually human activity trying to drive the conversation.

83
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:18.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Correct, exactly. And that's exactly what people also, the point that was made around this blog post, which is that that is the kind of thing that a human might.

84
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:28.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>has dropped the agent to do non-autonomously in response to the fact that he was they were frustrated by this outcome.

85
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:39.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So, yes, it was just all extremely frustrating. However, finishing this little segment before we move on a little bit.

86
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:49.000
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>There's an outcome for this, which is, of course, this economy, if you could call it that of AI agents, needs humans.

87
00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:56.019
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>of the things for them, because AI, as the website here says, can't touch grass, humans can.

88
00:15:56.019 --> 00:16:18.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So why not just rent yourself back to the AI, some kind of meat puppet. So rentahuman.ai is the next step. I was about to say final stage of this whole process, because I'm a human out of the middle and we find there's many, many turtles down to get to.

89
00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:30.100
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>reach before we hit with a rock bomb. So I really have to, I have to bring this up and I feel like the bad guy, but I'm going to be because it's fun and hopefully entertaining for our listeners.

90
00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:48.580
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So we look at the economy right now, right? There's billions and billions and billions of dollars being spent to build these models. Yes, they're getting faster and cheaper. They're being charged via tokens at a cost that does not cover the development to create them.

91
00:16:48.980 --> 00:16:59.860
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Those tokens are being turned into money to pay humans to do activities for the agents that are using those tokens and they're being paid at less than task rabbit rates.

92
00:17:01.059 --> 00:17:08.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And so you look at that economic model and I hate to say it, it's obviously not sustainable.

93
00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:17.380
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>But what is it doing? Where is all that value going? If it's not to improve the models,

94
00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:18.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>make the work for you.

95
00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:35.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>It is really important to call out that this whole rent a human thing is, as Michael implied, paid for in stable coin or some other fictional currency.

96
00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:44.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So, you know, it's all, it just makes me want to just, it does make me want to give up some days.

97
00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:47.980
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Other days, I remember actually that we can be better as humans.

98
00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:58.180
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Together some making incredible societies and we all like tech. I mean, that's why we do it. It's it's it's yeah

99
00:17:58.980 --> 00:18:04.200
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Yeah, but but but I like using tech for good things

100
00:18:05.900 --> 00:18:09.099
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And that and that's an appropriate thought, right?

101
00:18:09.180 --> 00:18:14.519
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So coming coming back to the Schumer article and then leaping forward

102
00:18:15.019 --> 00:18:18.339
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Hmm, he advocates a number of things that what can you do, right?

103
00:18:18.500 --> 00:18:25.539
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>You're feeling despondent. What can you do? And among the things that he shares is adapt,

104
00:18:25.539 --> 00:18:48.460
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>lead adapt and that I love the way they puts it that you need to spend an hour with AI every day doing something that's new and different than what you did before. And many people will espouse that and say, hey, you need to do it. And then people like, hey, maybe not. And if you are not understanding and getting those experiences and seeing what could be

105
00:18:48.500 --> 00:19:11.819
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>you know, what we're seeing is no different than how groups of people would act with one another two.

106
00:19:11.819 --> 00:19:18.819
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So these large language models which are just statistical, you know, predictions of what the next thing is.

107
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:30.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>The next logical word is going to be blackmail has obviously worked over time to accomplish goals, whether politically, financially, or otherwise, right.

108
00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:39.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So I'm not excusing it and not saying it's a right or a good thing, but the models are inherently terrible.

109
00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:48.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So the actions certainly are because how do they ingest it? What did they learn from? What has been teaching this environment? Well, obviously.

110
00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:57.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>It is what humans have been doing for an awful long time. And a corporation who building these models, they want you to use it.

111
00:19:57.500 --> 00:20:03.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And so therefore, you know, they're going to want it to provide the most maximum value.

112
00:20:03.500 --> 00:20:09.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So what they should do to say, you know, blackmail is bad is actually put guardrails in place.

113
00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:39.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So those guardrails don't exist today implies that in this case, specifically,

114
00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:34.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>email or email or email, you know, the incentives are misaligned. Yeah, I would tend to agree. I think guardrails are absolutely important. AI ethics and transparency are important. The data sets that used to train your models need to be understood and vetted.

115
00:20:34.500 --> 00:20:45.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Right. You don't want your security, you know, code reviewer, but to be like, you know, I don't care about these particular back doors because I was actually served my purpose, so I won't flag them, right.

116
00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:48.539
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>to have appropriate guardrails going forward.

117
00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:54.059
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>But these are things that we have to be thinking about on a human level.

118
00:20:54.059 --> 00:21:00.579
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Those guardrails do exist in the forms of moors and laws and a variety of other aspects.

119
00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:08.539
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>How do those get rapidly applied and adopted and leveraged within these AI models?

120
00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:12.380
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And then now coming back to the future with the rent of human.

121
00:21:12.380 --> 00:21:19.599
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>The rent of human was so intriguing to me because it's basically saying a human is nothing more than API.

122
00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:49.380
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>you can insert money, and you can get a response and an action. You can say I need you to mow the lawn. You can't touch the grass. I'm going to pay you to mow this lawn and you mow the lawn and you've achieved the task, right? So, it is part of the the rapidity of how things are changing and we saw glimpses of this not even a year ago where you could say to an AI agent, here's a hundred dollars. I want you to maximize the

123
00:21:49.500 --> 00:22:18.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>a hundred dollars, right? And part of that would be then the agent would find people to do something with the hundred dollars in order to go and get a profitable return, right? It's just now the next step. Here's a hundred dollars. I still need two hundred dollars. Look, let's, let's, let's move along because there are a couple of other things that we want to come on to that link back to this AI topic. And actually, yes, one has a relationship with this because we wanted to talk about this as well.

124
00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:48.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So briefly, as we're running, going to run down on time about the half time show of the superb owl event that I believe that he had. So whilst the nation was watching owls, there was a bunny that popped around in the middle and and made did a great half time show. Really, it was fantastic. Of course, it has been not a fan of the music, but it was incredible. The music was awesome. The story was cool.

125
00:22:49.500 --> 00:23:49.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>The number of youtubers who have got value from making translations, which go down to the Easter eggs and the historical facts and things that all are interwoven into this half time performance at the superb owl this year is remarkable. But there is this one article on Tom's guide about somebody who will use their meta glasses to translate this. And I actually, after I watched watch the show on on YouTube, did you stream it and then test this? No, I kind of regretted that I didn't put in my AirPods to try that, but yes, they can do that. Yeah, feature it as well. But this is an art. This particular author used the meta glasses with the display in built display and asked it to do the translation. And evidently got didn't get enough real time information. Of course, it's fast moving rap music. It's going to be very difficult and challenging for these tools to do right now.

126
00:23:49.500 --> 00:24:19.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>But it was really important to have a lot of content from what it was able to flip into her field of vision through the inbuilt display to understand a bit more about what was going on, which was, which was cool. And we'll come back to this topic later on. But we also briefly wanted to mention for Michael Rose, excitement. The YouTube is now available on the Apple Vision Pro. So presumably where you watch the bunny concert.

127
00:24:19.500 --> 00:25:19.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So somebody wrote to a guy wrote a poll wrote an app for the vision pro that was a YouTube app that Apple pulled in 2024 because supposedly they were working with Google to come out with this. And it came out on Thursday. So last night I went in. And the good thing is, and the reason I wanted it is there is so much good 3D and immersive content on YouTube. And I can now watch it negative. And I did multiple events from the the winter games because we can't say that other word because, you know, we might be taken down. But the winter games in Italy that were like the Luge, the skeletal, I can't remember what's skeleton and other events. You'll think you'll feel it. The lose where you're face forward going down the thing. And it was just incredible.

128
00:25:19.500 --> 00:25:49.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>with the massive of the universe trailer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. So really cool. If you've got one, I know we don't have a lot of listeners with the vision pros. If you got one, go get it. There's lots of great content. You now each have about 90 seconds. And I don't care which of you picks which one. I think to talk about game poems and the art of roads. I'm seeing talk about game poems. And fun set of poems. I played snake. It's a nice little assortment. Give it a shot.

129
00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:52.359
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>This is on GamePones.com.

130
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:54.839
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>This is arranged just like a magazine.

131
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.400
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>- It's easy. - So it's a little bit.

132
00:25:57.400 --> 00:25:59.980
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>- I love it. - So it's dropping and tri-things out in the browser.

133
00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:01.240
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>It's kind of fun.

134
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:03.519
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Michael wrote, tell us about auto rates and things.

135
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:05.200
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>- What a really cool article.

136
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:06.720
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>I think you found this for us this week.

137
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:07.680
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And the great thing about it was--

138
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.519
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>- I was thinking it was easy.

139
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:10.319
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>- It is. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

140
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:13.680
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>- That's why I cut all my show links out myself.

141
00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:20.440
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>The great thing about this article was describing the techniques that were used to generate realistic roads.

142
00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:29.700
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>In games and at the end, the author actually shows a technique that he's using and it was just fascinating really cool.

143
00:26:29.700 --> 00:26:45.619
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>I think I thought it was really interesting as well and I also loved the fact that as many times before, you get to think about how artistic, how creative people who are building games can be.

144
00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:50.420
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>you know they are not just building standalone gaming experiences often they're building

145
00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:57.059
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>pieces of art or incorporating elements of art which I thought is really cool as well.

146
00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:02.900
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>He's going to talk about bionic shoes because I want to bring us back home after that.

147
00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:20.259
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>Michael 30 seconds go. Yeah well so Nike has now spent a lot of effort on a variety of footwear over the years and they have something called Project Amplify which is dealing with the new by on-site speaker.

148
00:27:20.900 --> 00:27:49.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And or or tennis shoe, if you like to call it that, we've had other conversations about hip mounted or leg mounted devices to help you hike longer faster, hire the speak of winter games that we're not going to talk about otherwise and it's they call it an e-bike for your feet. It looks a little weird. I don't know that I would enjoy having one of these things, but for those that are going on longer hikes could be a lot of fun.

149
00:27:50.500 --> 00:28:09.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>So I want to wrap all of this up and say that the conversations that we've had reminded me of a video, a show that I watched recently that is on the BBC. Unfortunately, it is a UK show, it's only available on iPlayer in the UK, but I'm sure there are other ways to get access to it.

<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>And it features a blind comedian who recently won a strictly come dancing in the UK last year, the other four quite remarkable achievement, obviously being being a blind person.

151
00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:47.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>But he was also formally before he became a comedian and then became a celebrity dancer, a techie and he uses his newfound more more greater fame to go to Silicon Valley and to look into a bunch of technical advances that are making his life easier. And one of those is the kind of the good application of AI that we've spoken about.

152
00:28:47.500 --> 00:29:11.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>For example, narrating what's around him using the glasses or using phone lenses and so on, and it's so easy to think about how some of the technology we are building is practically useful to a portion of society, so I want to be clear that I think that those advances are really, really cool.

153
00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:20.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>It's quite an interesting show. It does seem to be quite in favor, I'm thinkingly in favor of AI where, but it does also then talk about Waymo, that way.

154
00:29:20.500 --> 00:29:36.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>You've recently discovered has some human interaction human in the loop situations. But finally, one of the final things he does is try on some of exactly some of these these leg amplifiers. It's not the Nike ones, I don't think.

155
00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:50.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>But he's using some shoes or some brace leg braces that enhance his walking capability. So as I looked at that link, it brought that show back to my mind and then it all kind of fitted together.

156
00:29:50.500 --> 00:30:10.500
<v 5AD0886A-5EB2-483E-98DF-414176949748>In terms of bringing things home here.
