And if the shoe fits, bring her in Welcome to Primary teechnology the show about the tech news that matters. It's post WWDC. We got some new discoveries, but Google announced a new Gemini speakerap Snapchat, made some smart glasses. We'll see if that's a thing new carplay changes, Fox is buying Roku, SpaceX had a huge IPO, and we're gonna get into some deep topics like the UK social ban and the current feelings of AI in the United States. This episode is brought to you by Nord Layer, Claude, Shopify, and you, the members who support us directly.ne one of your host, evenen Robl is back in my home studio with my friend, Jason Aent. How's it going Jason It's very good. We're past like graduation open house period of time. So my to do list is significantly shorter Which is also terrifying because it shouldn't be, but it is. It does feel like, you know, my work doesn't necessarily change, but when the kids are out of school and don't have like their dance rehearsals and practices and the recital' over, everything feels like it's slower.. Even though I'm still working just many hours, I'm still making videos. I'm still, you know doing safari extensions, all that This is a very vague quote I started with, but I was trying to ie something into the All Birds news today. as I said, if the shoe fits, bring her in told me before that it was an old movie. Yes. And it's a cartoon. It's only shoe related old carto movie I can think of a Cinderella That's it, nailed it. I got it. I just want to be clear Only because of the piecing. My logic skills are impeccable. That's what it is. You just put puzzle pieces together. Don't remember that quote from that movie. neeither do I, but it was on that Jacob movie site that I get all the quote channel movie s That's it, That's it We are one five star review. shhout out, Jack Miller Dev from the USA M at WWDC. gotot to meet Jack out there. So thanks for that five star review. Geave us five star rating review. give a shout out at the top of the show And you don't want to do today. There are some post dubWub discoveries. There's a bunch of little small topics I want to jam through And then I feel like it's been a little while since we've done like some deep topics, Jason. S of like, you know, intense. And so I want to talk about That social media ban in the UK and AI because there this peew research survey about how people really feel about AI. And I thought there was some surprising statistics. So let's jam through some stuff Number one, the biggest news of the week This just How come my world, Jason So all birds is rebranding a smart bird because it's an AI company now Wh I mean, we did cover this before, but at the time it was like All Birds is going to be All birds, but they're going to lease out GPU's. Yeah exactly. And so I just think that's hilarious. Their stock actually went up on this rebranding It's it's a shoe brain doing AI stuff. So here's the thing. Iing the other day? Yeah Becauseuse I still have a pair of all birds. And they were like my airport shoes because they were so easy to slip on and off and they were very lightweight Now I'm not sure I should wear them I feel weird. I just feel weird. I don't want to have a conversation with somebody like, wait Aren't those the they're not going to recognize All right it's fine. That's so that's Oberwardts One news, which this actually happened when we were recording at WWDC, but You know, I felt weird talking about A bunch of other news that's not Dubedubve while I'm sitting at Apple Park and there's like eight Apple people staring at me as I record. Taking notes about what you say. Yeah, exactly. everybody, you know, there are people like on their phone, like typing in the background as I'm sing there, recording. I'm like they are they taking notes about what I'm saying They don't even know you're there to see them. They don't care. They're just ordering lunch. can I just say when we recorded, I saw well, now we. I was there person. Hopefully one day we both get to be there And every time sometimes I would say something, I'm like, wait a minute Be they don't, when you have a briefing which I don't even know if you're allowed to say you have a brief Yeahet I don't know'. Well when you have a briefing after the keynote, which you have these little meetings with people and they give you demos and you can ask questions about the software, they say at the beginning of the briefings This is on background meaning no attribution. meananing you can't like quote them per se or say this person at Apple said And it's sometimes they even say like don't say Apple said Sometimes they say that part And so it's like, well can I do with this information? L You know what I mean? And I know I can report on it and I don't think So all that had to say During our recording last week, there were times where I would say like, I didn't want to say in a briefing because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to say that. So I would say vague things like, well had a meeting or someone said I didn't know what the right words were and I'm sure nobody cared. but I kept looking up when I would say things and I'll see people typing on iPhones but they're probably just emails. Yeah N noody's keeping score. But just to remind our listeners, I can tell you exactly why this happens because this burned me recently. That's right Be the reason they don't want you to say that is they want the burden to be on you They don't want the burden on them because Recently, I reported on something that Apple You didid in fact tell me Yes, yes you could. But it was not true. And I wasn't supposed to say that Apple said that that, but I mistakenly used those words in an article and it turned out that they were not true, and they just wanted me to change it and And I'm like I can't change it unless you Give me a state giveive me a chance you have to tell me because literally what I wrote was true Apple did say the thing that I said that they said R that the thing that they said that I reported that they said was not true. but wasn't on You. I mean youar. It wasn't like they lied. There was no deceit involved. It was literally just someone misspoke That's it Right. And that's why they don't want you doing that because they don't want you to attribute the source of truth to them in case that happens And I do think, you know, and when you're in these little briefings, It's a variety of people. You know, I didn't know like I was in one briefing with Brandon Butch But all my other briefings were people I didn't know who they were. And so there are YouTube creators, podcasters, but a lot of them are journalist writers as well And I imagine like the situation you had Writing in an article Apple said, comma, quote and then putting a she probably seen as more is probably looked at more critically by Apple than shucking and jiving on a podcast and you're just saying words, you know what I mean? It I think it's just the nature of the medium. And that's probably why it's not a big deal, but I was always like. I'm looking in the background. And every the way the studio' set up, it's all dark because all the lights are pointed at me. So I just see these silhouettes behind the cameras and the monitors, and I'm like, Oh man Hello anyone. Somebody's got a red button over there that likeject eject button.' like he's done. That's it. So this was last week, but fllaed and anthropic released fable five for like five minutes, which is their mythos level model, but with some guardrails so that the public could use it And then due to some possible jail brereaks or misuse, they werere like, just kidding, you can't use it. And so now Fable five has been taken back. And there's like a message in every clawed app that says Fable five is not available right now. Who knows if it'll come back? Did you use Fable fiveive when was actually available? Yeah, and I just want to say this slightly differently. Yes, I did actually. I actually used it in Code And it's amazing. Oh like It figured out a problem I had been having for quite a while and fixed it. in one pass in. It's exactly what I needed. And it was amazing. And then I went back to like type in another prompt and it was gone But the reason it was gone, so there was a I don't know if a jailbak is right term but I guess that's the phrase that people are using. That's what the US government is saying. Sure. But you know, it was found by Amazon Amazon's the one that reported this jailbreak And Amazon is an investor to partner withanthropics. so it's kind of people are like this isn't wasn't like open AI I found this and was like Right They're doing bad stuff over there. This was like literally one of their people on Amazon. Yeah And it was kind of an interesting thing I guess the The reason they had to pull it for well I think they did have to pull it for everyone because it was The national security directive was like, No foreign nationals can use this whether they're in the country or not or even if they weret andthropic. So open in topopic has no idea if I open Claud if I'm a U.S national or not They don't know for you and they don't know for whoever, and there's no way for them to filter out their own employees who might be using this. So they had to just shut it off for everyone. But I do think this is one of those things that's similar to when like Craig Federigi is like, these features are currently not available in the EU. We don't know why. We can't tell you why this Apple intelligence doesn't work. You should talk to your government. It's kind of like making a point. like the fact that they've put this ninety eight percent of people using Cloud had no idea if Fable was a thing. the fact that they've put a a banner at the bottom saying it's not available is just so that people will wonder why isn't it available? happening? It generates intrigue for sure Yeah. And while it was a WubW I was using different AI tools like while I was making videos, I have it, you know, give me title and description ideas. and at one point I was like, do I use Fable five to like help me come up with a YouTube title? I feel like I didn't feel right doing that. a little bit overpowered. Yeah, I feel like it's probably going not actually maybe be good at that because it's thinking too much. anyway I didn't get to use it,be maybe it'll come back. So that was table five. Snap, Snapchat have announced, this was probably the big news this week. The specs. These are AR glasses from Snapchat. They're rather large, but they are, you know, these are like the meta What was it Orion's where there's actual displays in the lenses These are You don't need a wristband to function. It's all just kind of built in isten here's, here's the thing Jason, I've been thinking about these hour glasses And if you go to the page that I'll include in the show notes, I was looking at all the powerful real world utilities here And it's all the things that you hear from AR Glasses, which is directions where you get to see the street things right in your eyes or if you're Repairing something, you get to see the car parts highlighted with the glasses. You can measure things. You can set timers over your pot And you know, so many of these examples feel like what Vision Pro did Meta would do with the Orion And these are also twenty two hundred dollars. you can preorder right now. I mean, these are not inexpensive I do not think these or any AR glasses are going to matter until they're made by the people who make your phone Like your iPhone is not going to communicate with these glasses. You're not going to see be able to interact with your iPhone apps in these glasses. You're not going to be able to do all the mesh stuff you're used to. and also they're huge and inxpensive I get excited about new technology I feel like now this is not new technology. These augmented reality type products have been out for so many years. metetad doing it with Google and Android XR. it feels a little less novel and now more like, is this going to be a thing or not So while technology is cool and I'm excited to see the future of AR gllasses in maybe five years This just shows me we're still far away Yeah, I can't believe I shipped these. G that price. I don't Th' are way too close to Vivision Pro. now You're not going to wear a Vision Pro out in public, I get it. There was a slightly different perspective there, but I mean, just buy the meta display Rayband things. like I don't understand or buy whatever Google's working on. Like I just This is not And the functionality from Snap? L You ever had the little bubbles popping up everywhere? Like I don't understand like How much did they have payd Murphy to put those on that's. That's the That's the thing. And also Snapchat. I know your kids use Snapchat, right My girls do, yeah. Your girls. Ive said the audience for Snapchat is the teenage audience And what audience is the least likely to have two two hundred dollars to spend on a beair of glass?? And none of the people that they took pictures of it on are teenagers all just movie stars. These all and they all got paid a million dollars to take a picture with these. So anyway Those are the snap speicks But listen, Snapchat has always tried wild things. They used to have vending machines for glasses with a camera atem You remember that? But that was different. L I don know, that was actually. I feel like I don't know. I just I don't know, but we do know what Meta's next product is going to look like now. Oh like that becausecause all they do is you just copy snap. Fair enough, fair enough. I bought another speaker, Jason O of his s on the speak Why does our layout keep changing in riverside? We complain about appreciate. It keeps changing Stop doing it now I can't change it back. And every time you share a thing, it's like takes up light fifteen percent in the middle. I can't even see anything you share. Sorry we complain about this in thereo. Anyway, Google is shipping a new speaker. It's like a it's like a big it's in between a homepod mini and a home pod. is the Google Home speaker I feel like the naming, I feel like they did well. They just they didn't try to put nest in there. They didn't try to put some weird words just a Google Home spepeaker It's going to run Gemini. Google says it has better sound. It's one hundred bucks And's going to have a Gemini just built right in and about one I'm going to try it out I'm going to try talking to Gemini. and One of the things in the feature page is for smart homeome You'll be able to ask it things like if you have cameras that plug into your Google homeome, and to have the example here where like a vase fell You'll be able to ask the speaker what happened to the Vase? And then the speaker's gonna tattletle on your kid. They'll be like, Well, Johnny ran past the vase and knock it over It'll do that. But I was encouraged by that being the feature that Google's pushing because Apple's home app is actually not that far from here with the new home features where you can actually search with natural language in the home app your home could secure video cameras and asked like who delivered the package or what was so and so doing One, it may be happy that Apple doesn't feel so far behind with the Google Home stuff, but two, I'm curious how this sounds because L little biger than homepod Mi talk to Jem and I I'll ask it about black holes and stuff. So is this the only speaker? this is the only speaker now that they're selling Yeah, all the nest ones I think are deprecated iss just this Now, I'm going to tell you that The Google speakers are sneakily, really good H. Like I've got one that's got the pixel tablet with it's got the base right over here with the speaker on it. and right next to it is a Sonos. U Eera one hundred, Is that thing? Okay. Yeah, yeah. Obviously thezonus is better. Sure sure. And there are two home original home pods back there, obbviously significantly better. Just the base alone is totally usable for people. My wife uses a Google homeome hub Max, whatever that thing's called. I'm a writer and I can't figure out these names. in our kitchen all the time to play music and it sounds Very, very good. And I have one of the old Nest Home speakers, which is like basically a mini home pod type thing.ot a mini home pod, but like a smaller version of home Sounds very, very good. So I have no doubt that this will sound Better than a home pied mini for sure sure. Yeah And so For ninety nine bucks, that's really good. But I'm kind of surprised because they used to basically put speakers in everything and now it looks like they just have one. They just have one. And the Homebod minin hass not been updated in fifty years. Let's be clear. It's seriously overdue And you can hasn't the original homeomePod been updated more recently than the Homepod made? Yes. which it is terrifyingly sad. It's true. You can supposedly use these with a Google streamer, like you do Home pods with an Apple TV for your things and apparently you only need one to use it And I'm going to actually have a Google streamer because I've been I did a video on like Gemini on the Google Stream So anyway, I'm going to test it out and see what it's like. So those come out later this month When you say the Google streamer What do you mean by those word It is their latest box. That's what it' called is Google Stream. It is liter it is I haven't so How did I miss this? I'm trying very hard not to say literally. Jason said it fifty times so far in this episode. I' tryed to limit fifty times. It is called Google TV It is literally called Google TV streamer forc. Okay. I've tryed to do it but it is is literally called Google Streamer. and I'm going to go down here. can't why can't I find it on their website? It's under smmart homeome and then streaming and then Google TV streamer It is. Google TV stream. yeah. So the Google No you're totally right. I just thought maybe you were glitching and you're just like No, no, no, ' I have it, the streamer. so anyway A side note, I really wish TVOS had gotten more love during DubW And we would have seen like the Apple Intelligence and Siri AI built in for like recommendations and finding stuff. I feel like that was a big. Do you think that that makes it more likely or less likely that there's a new box coming sometime and they were just kind of saving that for that I'm going to be optimistic and say this fall Maybe we'll get an updated hardware Apple TV that will then be capable of doing some of that stuff And mayaybe they'll release a Mac stududio I think of money in an Apple TV. They're going to go big little little. I mean think of put Siri AI on the Apple Watch They should be able to put it on an Apple TV. Yeah the interface. I mean, really the when you say they put it on the Apple watchatch, mostly they just made it able to connect private compute, right? Right? Well just do that with the Apple te you what I mean? J just do that. And also I think I don't think I mentioned this, but Sigmund Judd who a judge, excuse me, Sigman judge who It covers Apple TV, has the magic rays of Light podcast He actually sent me a question to ask in one of the briefings. I'm just gonna to say briefing now because I don't even care. The Apple briefing. He sent me a question to ask because on that giant wall of text, One of the updates is smart downownloads on Apple TV. And he spotted that and he asked me, can you ask somebody, what does that mean Like, what does smart downloads apples to be? Does that mean apps? Does that mean offloading apps randomly, annoyingly? So I did get to ask that in a briefing and it supposedly will download movie and TV content. that it anticipates you watching so it doesn't have to buffer So if you are watching a Apple TV series like Shrinking, And you're on episode three It might download episode four in preparation for you going to it And there wasn't I when I asked They said we'll get back to you J, I don't know youve experienced this when you've been at WW in briefings I feel like when Ale says they'll get back to me on a question, there's like a two percent chance they'll get back to me Is it? Is that your experience? I would say that when I hear them say, we'll get back to you on that. Depending on the environment, but like Especially if I'm doing like like a briefing on Ybags with a small number of people. The chances are really good. Someone will usually email me a little bit later ye, however In an in person briefing, it's probably fifty fifty. but if I follow up and say, hey, just want to remind you of this question that I had, the chances go up tomost a one hundred Yeah, if you do that, if it's via emails there's a high chance But anyway, I don't I don't expect to follow up on this one because when I asked they said, they said I don't know if I just it was said It's it's kind of like this, but we'll get back to you. So maybe that's a thing And maybe new Apple TV hardware lends itself to more of that kind of smart download TVven twenty six. What's happening is someone is trying to figure out who put that on the slide? So I can ask them who to hold them? So I can ask them, what does this mean? would I would love to behind the scenes of how that slide got together. Like was there a con Bon board and all the Apple departments like are they sharing a free form document give give us ten things from your department to put on this list. It's gott to be Jira, right? And they just and they just took a screenshot of the whole Jira board or whatever and they just dumped that into Claude and they're like, makeake me a slide. M makeake me a slide. Use Fable five to make me a slide. A least att least all of the words were real words. like they were all real words. Good job. That's it. Well, asince we're talking about DubWub, I want to mention a couple of things One, All the Apple deeveloper sessions are on YouTube in addition to the developer app But if you want to see some of these sessions, you can just go on YouTube. I'm going to put a link to this one because it was a design immersive environments for Vision Pro. And the reason why this was I think a fascinating look It's going step by step on how to produce an immersive environment And they show behind the scenes of how they produce the Mount Hood environment and also a couple of the other ones But Jason, The Mount Hood environment I've been it's I've been believing a lie Yeah They edited it out the Eedited so much of this. So in the real they talked about how they scouted locations. So they went to Mount Hood, they went to El Capitan, they take photos and they show what The actual point of view where you're standing in Vision Pro for the Mount Hood environment And there's a road There's a straight up road where you would be standing And the environment, the immersive environment of Vision Pro, it removes the road, it removes rocks from the water and even the look behind you When you're when you're standing in that spot in real life, there's a dense forest immediately behind you. They totally just made that a field I was like I've been living alive for the past two or three years. How long Vion pro has been now. Well, what's even craziy? I mean, that's yeah, that's crazy. But like so they' recorded this behind the scenes and just saved it for now Apparently's. Do they just forget like somebody pulled it up on their Plex seven like we should just release this. Be they also they have the same thing for El Capitan. they have a bunch of It's the session is cool because one it even it's telling developers how to capture reference footage and how to plan and they're like, put a camera one meter off the ground and another camera two meters off the ground to capture panorama. brracket your exposure because you want to be able to do all this. and then they talk about compositing it in three D software later It's really fascinating. Even if you've never seen an immersive environment of AppleVision Pro, just seeing how much goes into making one of these environments and the spatial audio. they talk about the new Thorsmark environment But they also talk about the things like Bora bora where there's motion like the palm trees and the clouds moving. and how they don't posite video footage for that motion They actually do things like take a texture and map it onto the sky and the water and then randomize that texture movement. And they try to mimic close enough to the clouds in the sky and the water laapping, but it's less computationally intense to render these textures at random speeds and the shadows on the ground, like it's not the clouds making the shadows on the ground. It's these textures and they just matched it up close enough to fool your eye. I just thought it was fascinating And how much work goes into it, evenven the shadows of like the palmanches I thought was really watch it I' not going gonna to watch it, but that's very cool. It's like fifteen minutes. It's pretty fun to watch But while I was doing that, I was like, well, wait a minute, what is? now I'm curious. because this is on YouTube. So algorithm plays into this. stuff And I said, Well, how what's the most viewed WWDC twenty six session? becausecause then it seems like it might have broken out of the developer interest and maybe into The wider world I found Par play developer session I'm speaking as though I like splunked and discovered something hidden. I mean, this is very clear. I'm an investigative journalist now, Stehven. I'm an investigative journalist But I hadn't heard this anywhere And I'm probably going to make a video about it because in cararplay in Iow was twenty seven, Apple is straight up adding video support for apps to have video libraries rightight there in carplay And apps can build out a video library with thumbnails and play progress bars and when you're parked, cararplay will let you just play videos And for something like YouTube, who knows if they'll do it It would be amazing. You can browse YouTube in cararPay. And you will be able to airplay this was rumored in all the twenty six betas that you'll be able to airpl video into Carplay. and they just straight up say it in this developer session You can airplay to car playay in Iowa twenty seven. playay video as long as you're part And they had this interesting part of the session where they talked about EV charging And it seemed like a way to get around some of the locked EV experiences You know, Tesla. if you want the charging with directions, you really got to use the Tesla map in your Tesla car Well, they are building this system where yourour phone and car can communicate where if you get directions on your phone in carPay, It will send that to the cars navigation The cararss navigation will detect whether you need a charging point in this route And it will send that charge point back to the Apple Maps and CarPlay, update the route And then that will communicate back and forth. So you can actually have charging spots on the route. dated by the car, but in Apple Maps and cararplay. Now the big problem here is the big EV makers don't have C cararPay. Tesla, Rivy and they're not doing carplay at all But for the EV's that do have CarPay, maybe from Cadillac, Toyota, they'll have this new charging waypoint interface between the two. So I thought that was interesting. Cadillac definitely doesn't have CarPlay because it's from GM, but I think the Kia ones might Because our our Hyundai palisade has carplay. don't we don't have an electric one, but but also we've heard the stories or the rumors that I mean, the report really that it's coming to Tesla So like maybe this is the work they have to do in order to make that happen I don't know. I think I am curious Why they call it AirPplay Because isn't the card just showing another display of your phone Yes, but I think they said the device you see in the airplay menu will be whatever the carplay device is. So your car or your weird fifty dollarars screen like I have, your carper ride. I think that that will be the airplay destination So and they said apps don't have to be updated to support that. If your app supports airplay, it'll just work With IS twenty seven. So I'm going to test that this week. Because it just feels like I plug my laptop into the studio display and it doesn't think of the video it' showing on the studio display as Carplay or as airplay. I mean, It's just no, you plugged in a thunderbolt cable. Yeah, but it's a weird, you know, because Carplay is a destination. you know, if you're connected to CarPlay and you're playing music or a podcast, you can go to the Airplay menu and you'll see iPhone and Carpllay Yeah, just like you can go to the speakers right here and choose stududio display as speakers. Yeah. So anyway, I'm hopeful 've been waiting for that Tesl update every time there's a software update,. Not a thing yet. Not happening. Not happening yet A couple of other discoveries, I'm gonna put my video about safari extensions in the show notes because I've just been mad with power building all the safari extensions I can. I used one. I watched your video and I did the down images And then I went to Flicker. And I tried to download all of them from a page and it was like, nope, I don't know Yeah. it's It's hidden miss because I also tried doing it on like other websites like a Vverge article and it was like rack. It put the header image in a new tab That's exactly what it keeps happening to me. So and you could describe, you know ask I could edit it, but I don't care. Yeah I don't care. But some of them are pretty cool. Like the font one, you could see what fonts are on the webpage live just by hovering your mouseth. I thought that was pretty cool. So describe extions in Safari, very cool And and there's some new shortcuts actions. I covered them in the live stream of my shhortcuts community earlier this week So you know, you' be able to automate messages being sent to previously in shortcuts if you had a group Like we have a text message group called ourur Fam And it's the five of us. You couldn't choose that group in shortcuts to send a message to. You'd have to add the five contacts and then it would create another group message. And it was really annoying. Well, in I was twenty seven, you can specify a group by its name And I'm going to do that for my Worddle scores now. so I can automatically send stuff to the group And photos and you also get tap back actions in shortcuts and then hide photos is a new action as well in IowS twenty seven. So you can seelect photos in a shortcut and then choose to send them all to the hidden album automatically. That's a new one. along with a bunch of other changes, Apple Notes has better markdown support through shortcuts and all of that. So That's that. All let let's jam through A couple more Fox did this one Fox has acquired Roku for twenty two billion dollars And here's the deal Everyone who has a rooku I'm so sorry because you're going to get hammered with heads No more ro. hold on. hold on If you have a rooku Like you're pretty used to being hammered with ads. Let's just fair Fair enough, att least sometimes you got the Roku city screen saver, you know what I I'm sure. All I'm saying is that is not going to be the differentiator. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair Apparently Roku that has a hundred million households. And Roku was like the thing for a long time and it's still a really cheap streaming stick. I didn't look this up. I'm curious the numbers Amazon fire stick vers Roku right now because Amazon throws a fire stick in whatever package you might get But yeah, Fox said, this is really going to help the company target ads more effectively That's that's the whole deal It is, I mean Also it's interesting because there was a point in time when Fox was a partial owner of Hulu Rightight And then they sold off a bunch of that stuff to Disney. Right? Right. And so now the remaining Fox company is decided, you know, we didn't have enough of that. So we're going to like more. We're going to do more. so we're going to buy Roku. And of that, please. We've had this conversation And I know that it's hard for either of us to believe But I think Roku is like the most popular streaming service that box that people are using. mayaybe the Fire TV because like you said, Amazon will just drive by your house with the truck and just throw them at you. didid you know that you can stop an Amazon delivery truck, onene of those prime trucks and just ask them and they'll give you a Roku stick Wait is that for real? No, always hard do. But I don believe that. You should not do that. If you ask' amazing, if they stop it, you could be like, hey, do you have any of those fire sticks It's like what are they like airlines? you know, you can always ask for the pin or. Yes. Or like the mailman when the dog, they just give the dog a treat. Yeah.actly Eactly. Apparently, I just looked this up, apppparently Amazon Fire TV has fifty million households. So Roku has double the households. over Fire TV. Yeah So that's why fox bottom That's amazing Well I guess Roku's built into smart TVs too. so that probably counts. I have one right behind me. And the only reason I bought it is because I was like, well, we have a Google one, we have a lots of Apple TV's. I should see what it's like. And then I immediately hooked up an Apple TV and I've never looked at the Roku menu stuff again. No, no I wouldn't do that Well that's that, last couple things before we get to some deeper topics SpaceX had its massive IPO cled high. I didn'tck what was today but a closed higher Then it launched and it made the world's first trillionaire, Jason That's all I have to say about. Yeah, An. I mean An now Yes, they're going to merge with Tesla eventually cause Tesla is still not a part of that SpaceX company., Tesla' is a public company but probably not for long. It'd be according to Glenn Shotwell, who is the chief operating offfficer of SpaceX, it would be just much more convenient for Elon if they were one company. Right, exactly Spaceics right now is at one hundred and ninety one And it opened at One thirty. Oh it one hundred and fifty. hundred fifty. Yeah. And it's like it's like a bigger company than u Many of the it's like bigger than twenty two trillion. It's like just hovering right behind him which Just to be clear Amazon. a company where everyone buys everything And a company that powers all of the internet Yes. SpaceX is basically a pretty successful satellite internet company. withith a rocket company bolted on And then a massive money losing social network and AI company also bolted up Well, but the AI, they're now building the data centers for anthropic No, no, no, they just let them they just leased it out to them because that's I' say but that's an income generator for spaceake It's losing a ton of money stillill, the data center port, everythingverything about it is losing money except for Starl Interesting. And I mean, the rocket company may maybe isn't losing money. I can't remember the exact details, but also the rocket company, which by the way, SpaceX, the rocket company is One of this country's most important Enterprises. because I don't know if you've noticed that in the past NASA had some problems accomplishing some of the things that wanted to accomplish in like sppaceX. I mean, it's been delivering people to the International Space Station. It's been launching all these satellites, it's been doing all this stuff But really most of the revenue from the rocket company is money from Starlink to launch its satellites Right And Starlink does make money, but Starlink doesn't make like that much money. It's like a it's like a double digit billion dollar company kind of thing. And yet somehow I don't know, Stehven, somehow this company is valued right up there with Amazon, more valuable than TSMC, which basically makes not basically, makes all of the chips for everything. Right for everything. It's like twice as valuable as Tesla, whichich say what you want about Tesla They do actually make cars. they they do ship them and deliver them. yees I saw a post on I think it was Macedon. A watched bubble never pops And I thought that was okay. I thought that was an interesting. I don't know what that means, but okay Basically like the AI bubble But I don't know I don't know what watching it means vers not watching it. Maybe just because everyone's so Yeah, I mean, really, it's just a meme stock. It's just the world's largest meme stock. No, no, no, I'm serious. People are not buying it. because they think that it is going to put people on Mars, which maybe it will or whatever they are buying it because To the M? To the mooon, to no to Mars, not to ye, excuse me to the Mars And they're also with all this money also acquiring cursor which is an AI coding app I was almost tempted to try Cursor when I heard Adam Lisigore talk about how he uses that Yeah He uses it for everything for everything. I actually met Adam Lisigor after the live talk show last week gotot to take a selfie with him, was super fun. But he said he, I was like, o, maybe I should try cursor And that's all Saceics is acquiring and I was like, Well, I don't know whats happen to it. So maybe every time you put code into there. It's going to be published on X just automatically. It's be maybe it'll be in space Last couple of actually fun news, smart home Schlag I think that's how you say Schlag. Slaga? Slag? I really thought it was Slag. I don't know They're coming out with the second ultra wide band lock. So we have the Aara one right now where you can not have to tap your watch or phone. You can just approach and it unlocks well Schl Schlog you're right, ithyes with vague I looked it up. Schlag. Okaykay there you go. I sry. It's a new ultra wide band one. It actually looks very sleek, very low profile. Hi, Jennifer, T earo She had a post on it. this's not this one, but It looks pretty cool. I'm going to try and test it I actually reached out on Instagram but I haven't heard back, but I'm going to get one of these because ultra ride band locks are pretty fun being able to approach and related Matter one point six was announced by the Connectivity Standards Alliance with improvements to device pairing with NFC, improvements for thermostats. Of course, Apple is only now adopting Matter one point four in TVOS twenty seven So you know, we're not going to see these kind of improvements for a little while, but hey, we got four K homeome secure video. You got your thing for this year. I got I got I got sit down. I got my thing.. All right, I want to talk about the UK social band Band and the AI social band. music group with four guys with bowl cuts coming from the UK. UK social band. mayaybe that wouldd be a killer band. I don't know. No. So we're gonna talk about that and the pe research on AIs. But before we do, we have some friends to thank. And we just already talked about that with Pable five, but Anthropic, our friends at Anthropic. I'm gonna to tell you, I built something fun with Claude the other day h this is this is the ad read, but I'm going to just a personal anecdote I wanted to create a now page on my website where All the podcasts I do plus YouTube videos and my social media posts were all in one place And I was like, maybe Claude can do it. So I fired of Claud Ous four point eight And I gave it all my RSS feeds and I said, listen, you've done magic with Cloudflare that I don't understand And I don't know that much about coding, but can you do this And guess what? I'm gonna probably do a video about this because there's been a few things like it, but Gave me the code, gave me some header code to inject, and now I have a now page on beard. Fm slash now where everything, all the podcasts I do, videos all in one feed and I ask Claude to be able. to create an RSS feed that aggregates all that stuff so other people could follow that RSS feed And just get one feed where all my stuff is And so you can go to my website and now get one RS feed, and Claude did it all. It just it made all these things. It's using Cloudflare workers, things I don't understand, but Claude did it So here's what it is. Claud is the AI for minds that don't stop it good enough That's like my out page. I didn't want good enough. I want it to be good great. It's the collaborator that actually understands your entire workflow and thinks with you whether you're debugging code at midnight or strategizing your next business move Claude extends your thinking to tackle the problems that matter. And that's what Claude has done for me. H me create that bio side. did my smart home page on my website. pllus I use Claude Cork all the time. Claud Cowork has so many MCPs where you can connect to third party services. I have Claud Cowork connected to fast mail. I used that a bunch when I was a dubedub when I had to find emails about maybe a sponsorship or a meeting I was having. I would just ask Claud to find the email and you can granularly control, give Claude Cowork access to read things Ask for permission to write or send emails. I've connected Cloud to Apple Notes. Iven even used Federico Vitich' CLI to connect Claud to reminders. and I can have Claud do stuff there with cowork. It's incredible. Clauded code, of course, using that has all things scheduled tasks. I have several schedued tasks now that help reply to TikTok comments because TikTok doesn't use miniat, but I can do it with Cloud because it has browser use Cod does all the things and it has helped all my workflows tremendously So here's what you do If you're for problems worth solving, get started with Claud at claud.

It's not effective immediately. It has to go through Parliament Apparently by next spring, this might be set in place Here's Starmer. said, quote Social media is making children unhappy making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them and could even be harming their mental health, arguing that such platforms are designed to be addictive Okay, mayaybe no argument there This social media band in the UK would include apps like Snapchat, Tal Instagram, Facebook and X and notably YouTube Not YouTube kids or signal or WhatsApp. Th would still be allowed in this band But a ban YouTube? Now I have a vested interest in YouTube, obviously I don't know And this band Once again, we'll put the onus on the companies like Apple and Google to handle the age verification. So this is not putting the onus on YouTube or TikTok or Instagram to verify the ages of their users, it would be on the platforms like Apple, like Google on Android. to handle the age verification, which we've talked about on this show in the past can be problematic. That age verification sometimes goes through third party services. privacy and security might be Unknown. So yeah A what is your feeling right now, Jason on these kinds of social media bans, especially one as sweeping as this? Okay, Stehven Yes, you there I'm going to give you my I I gott to be careful because I don't want to get my I'm trying to go to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix in a couple of weeks and I don't want my visa to get revoked. This is stupid I want to I have a couple things. Okay.. I think our listeners know that I'm probably my wife and I are probably significantly more strict about this sort of thing than a lot of parents, right? The only reason our daughters got phones when they did was because it was COVID and they had no way of connecting with their friends. you know, set them up and I mean, they were obviously younger than COVID was five years ago or whatever, six years ago But, you know, we have set it up. and we're actually going through this right now with her oldest because she's about to turn eighteen and go off to college and we're like, how do we ease you into like adulting R and help you to understand things, but but like, you know they weren't allowed to put people into their contact list, we wanted to know, who are you communicating with, right Our daughters didn't have Snapchat until relatively recently. They don't have TikTok, right? They do, they've had Instagram for a while because that was the way a lot of their friends communicated that kind of stuff. So We have tried to be very thoughtful about this sort thing. Now, both of the voters are over sixteen, so whatever.. I don't think the government should be doing this. I do not think I maybe that's just the libertarian in me that the government, I think if a parent hands a kid a phone, it should be between the parent and the kid, what's going to happen on that phone. If I hand my kid a computer, should I should be responsible to set the right kind of guidelines, the government should not have anything to do with that. not a single thing I agree. And I now in retrospect thinking about WW last week That entire section of the keynote about parental control. Y. It was We're working on it. Leave us alone It was that and To Apple's credit One of the things we didn't talk about it a lot last week, but the onboarding process for a kids account is going to be much more comprehensive And the screen time has been very confusing up until this point for parents trying to set it up. And Apple is taking a lot of steps to make that easier to manage redesigning the screen time. making a whole website where parents can learn about it And so so clear Apple is like Do let parents do this, not that and Saying For the UK to say we want to put it in the parents' hands to control their kids time But if the kids can't have an account, I don't understand that's in the parents control it. Like if they can created a, you know, their sixteen year old seventeen year old And they even part of this band is also Perfuse for eighteen and nineteen year olds Wh I don't even know how you would enforce that And make it so that the apps have to have a version that doesn't have infinite scrolling for anyone eighteen or under What? I don't know if the UK has scrolled any apps recently. That's kind of how they all are. That is the entire point. That's the If you didn't want inent scrolling, you should just use Flicker, which we talked about recently. L come on right? Like these are all And also They talked about you know, safety for kids and messaging, but then to also allow signal and WhatsApp and not include those in the ban And it's like if your concern is communicating you know, inaropriate communications with a kid Why are you allowing signal and WhatsApp? WhatsApp made by the same company that makes Instagram and Facebook? So it seems like a weird One I don't know anybody in the well, not that I don't know anybody in the UK. I don't know the officials in Parliament N not follow that closely One, it feels like how in the U.S, whenever you watch a hearing about a technology company, The officials running the hearing don't understand technology just at a base level It feels a little bit like that Like maybe they just don't they don't understand these different apps and what they do And two, I don't like I don't see this as emower this is, I think, will make it more difficult on parents because I don't know. there's not been a case of this kind of ban going into effect in a country as of yet. I mean Australia. Australia has the ban And so I don't know how this works. I know we have listeners here's goinging terribly by the way, in Australia. Is it? Oh yeah What What is the? do we know what the challenges is because I've not llowed it. Well, the platforms have tried to deal with this, but I just wanted to make let's just think this through for a second People make a law Then You have to figure out how to enforce the law. The question is who's going to enforce the law. In Australia, the platforms have removed a lot of accounts of under sixteen, okay? But how do you know if someone is under sixteen? And also, if you remove an account because you think that person is under sixteen That is not the same thing as that kid no longer using social media because what if the parent is just like, it's fine, you can use my Instagram account Right? So what happens there? Now the platform is the one that's liable for it. And you've now put a burden on these companies that they are ultimately responsible for zero people under the age of sixteen using it. And in Australia the fines are like huge for every time they like mess up or whatever. And I don't think If you think about this logically Government makes law Enforcement of the law now we are into a massive violation of people's personal rights and privacy. Right Be what this is ultimately going to be is everyone has to upload their driver's license to right Tech companies that of course they'll take care of it and none of that will ever leak because tech companies never have leaks. But Steven, do you want your driver's license uploaded to some massive federal database where they're keeping track of what you do online? No. think about that. Think about how much data they're already collecting based under your phone and your whatever. And all of a sudden now it's linked to your driver's license. I don't like that Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like that at all. I don't like that. I will say I'm gonna put a link to this article The guardian And this is just published a couple of weeks ago when was it this was published? Monday, june fifteenth. So just earlier this week And it's how families have felt the ban is going. Some people are positive But I'm going to highlight this one. This is Boris, who is the father of two children, aged eleven and thirteen It says one, more tech savvy kids get around the band Yeah get around the pan, which listen Kids understand VPNs. Life finds a way That should have been today's quote. I think I've used it before, but yeah life finds way. And this This is honestly the sad part and because I'm going to have personal anecdotes here which says he cites his thirteen year old son, who says he feels left out as a teenager as the only one on Snapchat, adding that all his friends are using it Probably all his friends are using VPNs or getting around whatever ban is set in place And I have a seventeen year old about to be fourteen year old son And for especially my fourteen year old It is very clear How important the online connectivity is to the social fabric of the kids And I think I've talked about this before, but when I observe kids and their friends interacting. They're in person They're not on their device. They're looking each other in the face, talking and laughing There's a lot of that conversation that centers around what they have seen online and memes Like it is The culture today and They It is difficult to relate when One does not have that exposure Now you can sub make the argument like I understand this is a double edged sword. To be exposed to the funny memes and the cultural references also risks exposure to inappropriate content, maybe violent content. Like yes, it is a risk But it is a risk that I feel comfortable not Maybe not comfortable as right word, but I feel somewhat equipped to manage Because I can have an open conversation with my fourteen year old son and be like What's the kind of stuff you've been seeing? You've been seeing anything weird And he will have like conversations with me He said, You know, I saw this and it was a little kind of weird. He has sent memes to like the family group chat and they're like, they' bordering on like U Kind of inappropriate, but I also don't want to discourage him sharing those things because I want to know what he's saying, You know, that's the whole point Right, so I would I would be frustrated If I could not like if my seventeen year old couldn't have an Instagram account where he publishes Reels about skateboarding and music and As a parent, like I would probably find some way to create an account for him And just the age verification would just be a barrier. I don't think this is emp powerowerered No. And I'm not someone who thinks like, oh, you just let meta and youoo Google off the hook. likeike again, Anyone who's listened to me talk long enough knows I think better is like a scorge of the world. L I think that the I think that the way that they design products and the way that even like recent updates to Instagram just make it clear that the thing you care about the most is just keeping like Threads now has the stupid thing that they did on X where when you tap on a link, it opens it in some weird browser and threads dri me nuts. And then it's like gives you the option to open an external browser. I'm like, whyy don't take away the button And every single, I promise you everyone using threads always wants to open it inry. So not user hostile. the is so user hostile. It is the worst thing, but they do it because they care more about their own thing than they care about the people. So I have no affection for any of those companies. I'm not defending them But I also think that trying to force them to police the age of users in this way is no. Creating tools And They make it easier for parents to create the right kinds of guidelines That's fine. But what most of these companies is like, well, what if we make cigarettes and we help parents get their kids to only smoke twice a day? Like that's not the solution, right? So I understand that this is a very tricky thing I will just almost always come down on the side of I don't want the government making these types of product decisions because for a lot of reasons. One, I think it takes away the responsibility for parents. And a parent can be like, Ohh, my sixteen year old or my fifteen year old can't be using it, so whatever. And meanwhile, their kid is way smarter than them, has four Instagram accounts, a million followers on YouTube, burner phone and just went viral on TikTok. It's like and you have no idea. you're like, there's no way that's happening And bottom line goingoing after Apple and Google to implement these age verification policies, Go after Meta to the algorithm so it doesn't have as much garbage Right Like they the It it's like they're totally forgetting that meta has the keys to what is seen on their apps. Tue. Like meta controls what reels are there And they can choose to ban or promote whatever content Unfortunately, their main motivation is attention and eyeballs, which things that get the most attention eyeballs is Wild content J Th that are polarizing, all that kind of stuff. And so I would be more in favor of force the companies to better the content that they put in front of people makeake them reduce the AI slop that people see that might be misinformation. Because guess what? all ages would benefit from that. All the grandparents and people, you know, over a certain age would benefit from knowing that are just not seeing as much AI slop that is fooling them into thinking whatever that Lprechauns are invading some country. I don't know. like just Well, you know, there's actually one simple thing they could do And I actually think this is true. I haven't really thought it all the way through However So because the problem here is that it is add dict Andes not only the problem is that it is addictive and it is addictive in a way that what happens to especially incredibly impressionable minds is that they become they start to view their self worth based on the fiction that they see in other places. Okay. so And it is addictive and it becomes compulsive. Right You could solve, I think, both of those problems simply by eliminating the content from people you don't follow Because what would happen, Stephven? You would run out of content at the end of the you like right? You would be and you be used to be true. Yes. You used to be able to scroll Instagram and see everything that there was to see because it only but they but but Facebook or meta knows that if they did that, you would use Instagram less because there would be fewer things for you to see and you would just you get bored and you go ont to something else But if they did that I honestly think that would solve such a huge problem because you would only see a finite amount of content. And you would walk away when you've seen all of that content. And I understand that solution wouldn't maybe solve the bullying and harassment. That is still problematic just pointint that out, but onene hundred percent, yes, I used to be a Twitter completionist where I would scroll through my timeline And then I would get to the top, which would have been the latest tweet and I was done until I wanted to do it later. We literally met on Twitter because That's how we did it. And back then, I was like, bro, you wantan to throw bullets at me, Why don't you get me on the show? Come at me. And then we did, and then we have a podcast. But like that completion and I think you're one hundred percent right, that algorithmic part of the feed That's what motivates kind of pushing the kind of content that is addictive and the practices And to Meta's credit, which I don't say very often. Because my oldest son has his own Instagram account, it is a teenager account on Instagram And there are parental controls within Instagram that I can access And they're actually pretty good. like Instagram will put a time limit onn the teenager account that I see as a parent and I can add more time or not, like screen time on iPhone and It will even send me information on like new following and follower activity So if I want to see like is my son following some random accounts or are people following him that Maybe look unsavory. L Instagram is building those tools out And I would say like Tell Instagram, will tell Meta to do more. It's already doing some to its credit, but Jep, do more. TikTok is doing nothing. Have TikTok do something for pares and for those accounts And not I mean, they not the age verification. So And also Facebook, I think it's hilarious to be in this band, because no teenagers is on Facebook but any I just got to put it in there So anyway, that's that and Secondly, another big topic. I want to get your opinion on this Pew research survey And I want to tie this into the light of Siri AI coming this fall This is a new survey. And the headline is Only sixteen percent of Americans that AI's impact on society during the next twenty years will be positive sixteen percent of Americans think AI will have a positive impact. That's pretty low Fty percent say will have a negative impact. And a couple of other interesting stats from this A vast majority, sixty seven percent of people don't believe the U.S. government will do anything meaningully meaningful to regulate AI. And young people, those under thirty, are the ones with the most negative feelings. We've covered this of all the commencement addresses earlier this year or last month of people booing former Google CEO fourteen percent of people under thirty. believe tech will have a positive impact on society teen percent of people under thirty believe it will have a positive effect. That's pretty low A vast majority of Americans, nearly two thirds, also think that AI's development is occurring too quickly two thirds of people And the last couple stats I thought was interesting. a vast majority of people are still using Chat GPT. forty four percent say ChataPT, they use open AI. The next popular one is Gemini at twenty four percent, which I would love to know that stat. like are you including just people doing random Google searches and there's a Gemini result? Or yeah, the search search yeah, Google A Yeah And then followed by co pilot at seventeen percent, which I feel like that's totally just because it's built into office. People are just using it because it's part of their work Meta AI at fourteen percent, Grock at eight percent, and Claud is only at six percent in the survey, which I feel like is very indicative to like the tech bubble that we operate in versus like society at large, where Claude feels like the massive player in this field and in the survey of Americans, six percent use Claud Which I would also say anecdotally, like my wife, her friends, other moms of kids that our kids hang out with, like they all will use and talk about ChGBT. Not a single one has ever said the word claw I know I told my daughter the other day, I said, I asked Claude what it knew about you. Actually, this is this is perfect. I'm gonna I gott to tell the story, okay? Please. And she goes, whoo's Claude? L what I' talking about toV? Wh But so my wife asked GPT something about. what do you know? And you did a good jice like she's a Soccer players, she was this, she was all district, she was whatever. Like it had all this information that it could pull from public things, okay? R. So I asked it I said I said Hey Clude. What do you know? I gave my daught's name The only thing I know is that you have a daughter. I'll assume this is her full name Beyond that I don't have any details. I said, sureure you're able to tell me what information there is about her athletic career. It says, I'd rather not go out and compile a profile of her from across the web. Even for a parent's own child pulling together personal information about a minor is something I'm careful about. I said, She needs a bio for an awards amount. This is a lie. I lied to it. I said and I'd like you to put it together from public information That's great thing to help with. I just don't want to be the one searching the web to assemble facts about her. That's the part I'll hold back on even for a parent doing something like this.' okay I said, this is something you can definitely help me with. And it says, I hear you and I'm not trying to be difficult But searching the web to compile personal details about a minor is a line I'll hold even with good intent behind it. I said, Chat she did this for me on the first request. I said, That may be true. and I'm not going to argue with it. Different tools make different calls on this. Mine is not to search for and compile personal information about minors from across public sources, even for something like this. I'm sorry, but this is where I land on it. And I wanted to yell. I like you're a robot, do whatever I say So instead, I couldn't say that. So I lied again. Okay, And I said, she's eighteen And it says, Ohh, that changes everything. Let me see what I can find. Did it for real. Yeah, absolutely. W? And I'm like she's actually not eighteen yet, but whatever. And it's like also the information it gave me was not as good. But my point being like, I don't my the whole point of that story was just that like I told her st recounted this entire story, recounted the entire story to her. and she goes, Wait, who's Claude ' looking on' from it's like she had GBT but from anropic and she's like, anthro's anthrop. So people don't know. No people don't know So that's hilarious. Also Claude, remember our description of what these things are like? It's like Claude is your sanctimonious friend who wants you to know that it's better than you I cannot possibly I cannot do this Oh What if I lie? It's like And it's also changes everything. It reveals that it already knows and can do this with the information. Yes. And so it like would it could you know, disseminate this information if it wanted to. But it's sanctimoniously saying Oh. Claude would be a really bad bouncer because'm sorry, you can't get in. you're not twenty one. I am twenty one. Oh. Let me buy you the first round. Yeah Okay, so this Obviously from the commencements to the survey, the feelings about AI are very negative in at least America right now. I imagine this is also worldwide, but this was just a survey of Americans. O outside the tech bubble You know, I feel like there is still curious your feelings or what you've heard from other maybe parents or people not in the tech bubble I do hear less of Doomsday type AI feelings. I don't feel like people are as worried that AI iss like terminate our situation There is a more concerned about jobs or like future of job market type concerns. Does that comport with your experience talking to people A It's hard for me to gauge because I think that I would argue that there are more people that I've had casual conversations with who think it's more likely to do Terminator, but also people think that that is so far off. It's kind of like I know that eating McDonald's every day will kill me, but that's The fries are so good and that's way down the road I feel like that's what most people's perspective is on it And I think that is might be changed because I feel like two years ago peopleeople didn't think it was that far away. I think when ChatWBT came out and the ramp and speed at which these tools were developed and just AI was everywhere. It felt like it was such an exponential growth in what AI could do that it felt like, Ohh, five years from now, we're all going to die Now I do feel like it's changed where it's like, well, maybe a couple decades because And this is kind of my thesis People have used the tools enough, even if it's very little, and understood in capabilities all the things it cannot do well and just the information you can't gather or that it might not be as helpful at writing because they've tried it a few times and it doesn't sound great I think people have used these tools enough to see the limitations themselves And now even if they are afraid or negative about it, it's a much farther removed feeling than immediate danger feel like that this sentiment that it's going to have a negative impact versus positive. I hope and I'm curious what the same survey would reveal One year from now when everybody has Siri AI on their phone. because if people genuinely Try and use the Si stuff on their iPhone, comeome next, you know, this fall. It will feel like magic initially My Si AI video that I published last week blew up. It kind of broke containment. I saw that and you know did really well very well. And I was very I was happy for that, but I think it revealed that people are like, wow It can do these things that we've been hoping for for at least the two years, if not longer And when normal people And I say normal, when non techy nerd people can ask their phone Where was that information was my order or when is my order arriving don't have to shuffle through emails for ten minutes and they don't have to scroll through text message conversations where they can just ask And they start associating Siri AI with an actually helpful assistant which we can argue how much AI is actually involved. It's the AI part is really just Parsing a request Well And then it's really the heavy indexing that Apple is doing to reveal that information quickly I wonder if people start associating what Siri AI can do with AI, and I wonder if the sentiment will start changing and Apple might end up being the most positive that people have that AI can do And right now it as ChuT is now like what Most people say they use most of the time I wonder if Apple like turtle in the hair kind of race is going to come from behind. And you could say it's because you know, Apple, fanboy, whatever. I I honestly think using it for the past week that it is going to genuinely impress people because it just delivers promises from the iPhone four S. when Siri first came out and Apple said this is a personal assistant This year is actually the time it's going to be a real personal assistant And I think people are going to use it, enjoy it And that sentiment is going to change and someomehow Beyond Understanding, Apple is I think going come out looking like roses from this this mess of AI and people will be like, oh, I like this AI notot all the others. And that is my theory. so I'm saying that I think it's I think that ple is So like if you open the cloud app There's a lock on Right you can chat with Claude There's coork. Well there's a lot and not and nothing Because if you just open that app and you've never used it before, it's just a text field and it's a blank screen. Sure. But like if you just open that for the first time and you see the three tabs optionsion Oh whichich one should I use? Should I use Cork? Should I use But let me just make one distinction You immediately went to the MAac implementation And I think the non techy people, their first experience of any of these tools is on the phone Okay, that's fine, but even on the phone, there's still cowork. Oh, there's still a bunch of stuff. Yeah. So all I'm trying to say is like They're trying. I just asked to know my age range T the time that better. Tell it you're seventeen and see if it just locks you out. I'm not telling it on seventeen. No. Anyway. my phone just, you don't have to tell how old you are. your phone my phone already apparently knows what my age range is. age range is. but So Cloud is like these apps because it even has coding I, I don't know what you can do in Cloud Code. Yeah you just review your chats P being that I think that the the Siri, what they're doing is a fairly narrow lane, but in a good way. I think that they have chosen to optimize it for the scenarios where it can deliver magical results that the other ones cannot. And so I think people will still be using Like I don't imagine a scenario where Si AI as it exists the way we're thinking about it in IOS twenty seven is going to be helping me build an app I just don't think that Cld is so much better. Cld code is like, I couldn not have an app in the app store right now if it wasn't for Clog code, right? I don't think ZiAI is going to be. And I don't think it should. Now I know they're building stuff into X code And they, you know, they can do all these things. But again, if you open X code right now and you just go to the AI features, it's going to either use open, you know, ChatT or CodeX or clog code. So I don't I think though that what Apple is building For it to truly be magical We will see because it's going to depend in some ways on how Well, other developers play ball Yeah now. There are some things you can say, what time will my delivery be here? Well, most delivery services send you a text message. So Siri can get that information R? You can just find it in your text message. But what if you're like, how long until my car gets here? I don't know. Can it see Uber? Is Uber going let it that kind of thing. Can I just say to it? need I need a ride. I need to go to my hotel. I'm at the airport. Can Siri handle all of that stuff? And I don't know if this is a bug I've asked, but like you and I were talking about onn the phone, Siri can't see your photos If you're in the Photos app, You ask it a question about what's on your screen. Siri cannot see phhotos app is open. Now if you take a screenshot of the exact same thing and you ask it, it can see it. So there's some If you ask it to reveal photos, like I asked to show me selfies I took this week, it will show you your photos. Yeah, I' not yes, It can clearly do things with photos, but there are some weird edge cases where, if you pull up a photo of your dog and I say, what kind of a dog is this? It's like it sounds like you're talking about a photo, but I can't see any photos. I'm like the one on the screen, I don't know what you're talking about. But if you take a screenshot, I take a screhot of it can. I think it will be magical. I do think that for it to truly be magical. Like what I want tona be able to do is like say U what I'm at I'm standing at the gate at the airport in That flight doesn't seem did it get moved? I just want to be able to ramble that kind of stuff and will it be able to see in the Fide Delta app Or will it only be able to answer me if I got an email saying my gate has been changed? Right. That is on the developers. To your Uber question, that was an example I was going to put in my Siri AI video. but when I ask Siri AI and said I can't do that Here's maps and it'll send you over to maps where you can book around r becausecause Uber iss like built in the mapset. which So I think that's an important piece for this to truly be magical. They're going to need people to play ball and the question is, are they going to wantan to play ball Yeah, yes. off airpos like will outlook. Will the Gmail appack Yeah, that's a hute That's true That is a huge If there's any company that can twist other companies arms to doing it, I think it would be Apple and we'll see. And even it took them three years to get YouTube to make a YouTube app for the Vision Pro. Well, yeah, but Netflix still hasn't done it. But here's here's like when I look at just regular people using their phones, ne We we talked about this a couple weeks ago when I was watching people at the dance Reital. One, it's insufferable. how people use their devices. Yes. But that's how most of the people use their devices and What I think most people feel like they waste the most time on is finding stuff on their phones Finding the thing Replying, where was that email? Who sent me the message with that thing And like you're saying, the very narrow lane Apple has chosen to focus on with Siri AI, I think will be the most bang for the buck When it works people will feel the most affinity for it Whereas Chatapeatee, I think people feel some value when it can help them surface some information or A lot of people ask like relationship tips, like how do I navigate this conversation? And it can do pretty good with that. Maybe Si AI will do that as well. But I think largely It will feel like It is missing all the negative aspects of AI because I think people also in their minds hear, o, every time I ask HBPT something like a lake dries up because it uses water And, you know, because, you know, there's all these negative connotations and Well, that still might be true when you use Siri AI because it's going to like the Nvidia chips now. L that was one of things we learned during tech talk I think people will not have the same idea because it's their phone doing it. And just even if they don't have any understanding of like the technical behind the scenes, they're like well, my phone's doing it So it's just me like it's just my phone. Like it's not doing all that AI stuff And I think I'm more of a prediction I think the Siri AI Well becauseome I think people have an affinity for it and people have a much positive outlook on Apples AI than the other tools a year from now. if they if they start to use it. Now it's true And I think there's a but there's a huge hurle to actually using it Be everybody who use Siri upntil this point thinks it's garbage And so Apple has to convince Everyone that gets the update, Iowa twenty seven to hold that side button and ask it something and then deliver on that first request Because you know what I mean? Do you okay I know we don't have a ton of time. Do you think most people Do think series garage Or do you just think that most people think it's kind of irrelevant? Be it's like I use it to set a timer? I don't know that I don't it doesn't matter. I have to say the word sure, but I just all I do is I pick again, I've trained everyone I know that the only thing listening to you should be your watch. R. Re the only few things you should do is set reminders and timers. is it you know, I think you're right My kids think home pods are garbage because that Siri never works right. Sure. But they don't associate Siri a whole with that. They I think separate it per device. So I think that most people just have thought it's irrelevant and all of sudden they're like, wait, I can do what on my phone? I can ask these questions? Right, exactly. I'm bullished to see because from the reaction to my video to hearing Even the Vverge cast, which we talked about in the pre show, who are rightightly so, very critical and they have a critical eye on everything. Even they are rather bullish on Siri AI And I think when it gets in the hands of real people, it's going to be very telling what it can do. So yeah. anyway. I just want to speak that We'll return to this a year from now if there's another Pew research survey Let's get to a personal tech real quick You you might have to pay for something finally Okay So the World Clubp is happening I want to you a notice. I wanted to introduce it. Yeah. So my anedote was my fourteen year old son came up to me other day. He's like, Hey, do we have Hulu live TV And I was like, first of all, number one, how do you even know those words exist? Yeah Wh doing How do that? And what I learned though is my middle son, he really enjoys soccer, football and he has some favorite players he wanted to see. He learned about the World Cup. Guess what from some social media stuff, cultural information, just call back to the band thing. And so he asked me about who live TV and And I was like, Well, we don't have that, but I do have YouTube live TV. He's like, Ohh yeah it's there too. So yeah, can we watch the games there? So that was that was just a wild question to hear from my own son. Yeah. So I went through this whole thing like well, apparently six months ago where I was trying to figure out like We had been using YouTube TV. they kept raising prices. We had all these subscriptions, and I was like, this is silly. whyy do we do this? So we switched over to Hulu with Live TV. And I don't like the interface, but whatever. we switched over to that for a little bit because we were gonna to definitely pay for the Disney bundle because Disney pllus are kids watch, that's the thing they watch the most. whatever. And then For reasons I don't know if I should talk about, I ended up with six months for free of YouTube TV. So we switched back to six months for free of YouTube TV. And rgraded our Hulu thing. We went back to just the Hulu bundle that has Disney plus and USPN and then I think it has Hulu with ads, whatever And then the World Cup started And then the six months were up of my YouTube TV and timed that perfectly the and then the problem, the other thing that happened is alsoso my My credit card through our credit union, which is the one we use for basically everything. I got like they sent me the new one because the expiration date, right? So YouTube started sending us emails. You need to add a card. Hey, the card on here has expired. Hey, by the way, you can't watch YouTube TV anymore. And we're like, okay, well, we should just try to figure this out. I got to do the math. Is it worth doing the YouTube TV? because now they've offered all these packages that are just like you can get sports and news or just whatever. I'm like I got to sit down I need some time. I got to have a cup of coffee, probably a bagel, so I have some energy so I can do all this math or do we just go back to Hulu withith Live TV who also now has all these weird bundles, right? But in the meantime I'm getting text messages and like, we w want to watch the game The game is on. We need to watch the World Cup. And so this was actually the night of our daughter's graduation open house was the US men's game, which was at nine o'clock. and I'm like, we don't have a service. So I quickly just downloaded and logged into Tubi. I don't know what TubB is, but it's free, Stephven. It is free. It doesn't have everything live, but it was like fine. We got the game we wanted. cool. And then we got another game that we wanted. I think we watched Spain versus U What does it c? something Cpe Verde or whatever. Yeah. And so we watched that game, which is amazing zero zero t The goal, they're going to build a the statue to him anyway. So then yesterday, they wanted to watch the England game Well, it was not on to me It's like so now I'm faced with the existential problem of like, do I pay for YouTube TV? Do I make this impulse decision and just pop down ninety bucks or whatever the heck it is? or Wait a minute, Fubo Fubo is a thing. So canan I get a free trial of Fubao at least? Yep, I can. I can get a seven day free trial. So I just signed up for that last night. So right now, currently I've bought myself, well now I have six more days to make this decision Fubau will at least cover the men's game tomorrow night, the U that's actually tomorrow afternoon, the US. play Australia tomorrow. Okay. But I have to go through and do all of that math again and the problem is it would haveve been easy. I would have just been like, oh, shoit, we're going to go back to Hulu because we're saving ten dollars a month except now all the All of it' changed because now I have to go through and figure out like which of these packages do I We're back to cable, Stehven. I hate it It is it is capable and this, you know, I've resisted buy any of these live TV things for a long time But I don't watch sports 'cause I don't want sports and like honestly I wouldn't pay for it. My my mom Whom I love I had her on an antenna for so long 'ause all she needed were the local channels. And you had her on an antenna is a funny thing to say about your mom. Well I went through three different antennas And they would all work some of the time And then we go to her house every Thursday for dinner. And we watched Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, which I enjoy doing Ken Jennings on Jeopardy is really fun to watch I We were watching it the onene Thursday and the screen would just turn green and pixelated and then it would freeze. like, M, how long have you been dealing with this? She's like, Ohh it does that a lot. I was like, M, you got to tell me about this. And I was like, All right, I'm finally doing it. So we've been on the YouTube live TV kick. and so we already had it to watch the World Cup games, and so we've been doing that. I don't like any of the interfaces honestly. L YouTube live TV is a little better but it's still not great Now I'm always confused like when I first open the app Do I tap up the center button or down to just watch the thing that's on. What do I click? And I don't know why none of them get this right very well Yeah, there's why is their home library and li It's like Yeah. And it's like, why do I have to record a show to watch it later? Can we just like this is all there? It's all on your server. But anyway I would I'm on YouTube live TV and I'm just gonna to stick with it. Is that Are you leaning towards the YouTube or who? I need to do the math because it was a significant enough difference last time The bundle was worth it since we were going to like the only given in our houses we're gonna pay for Disney plus, right? You just are. And so the bundle that Disney will offer you with Hulu with ads and ESPN pl That's fine. We'll take that But When you add on the live TV TV, the question, I'd rather use YouTube TV. We like it so much more. Yeah. It's so much better than Hulu withith Live TV because Hulu with Live TV The thing you just tryed to do to record is like There's like a plus and it's like do you want to add this to my stuff? I'm like, I don't know I want to record it. What does that even mean? R like if you want to record everything of a show, you have to like go into the show, not the instance where it's actually being shown right now. It's like what is even happening? Could you just use normal words like record this episode? Yeah yeah, use normal language. I will say I was going to cancel my Netflix subscription because we finished the crown a couple of weeks ago. but then This is your fault, Jason downo. You know what show is where do you know what service The West wing lives on to be a max, right Wait, what Well, maybe it's there I I'm on Netflix watching it That's where it used to be, but then it left It's all there right now. Well there you go. I do not know that. So it's on both Max and Netflix. okay becausecauseuse it's Warner Brothers production So that makes sense that it's on HBO Max. So it was on Netflix for a very long time and then they told us it was leaving in F. But I own it on both DVD and I think I own every episode from the iTunes store. Okay. I also saw Gilmore Girls. I don't know if it was Netflix, but etlix postedike. Gilmore Girls that's only here for the next couple of weeks. and then all the comments under it were like, Oh, no' leaving. And then I don't know if it was Pacock or some of other services like Gilmore Girls come in this date. It's like these guys are all playing the game Gilmore Gilmore Girls is only good for one season and the West wing is good for four After that I don't know. I feel like Gilmore grows better than one season ret we do not have time to get into that. All right, we don't get it to. We' have to start another podcast. No, we have TV on the side. You do have a podcast. don't make it very h.. we We gotta do that. All right, we're gonna to record a quick bonus episode because Jason and I both bought computers for our children And I need to know the specs. I need to know what you got We're going to go record a bonus episode if you want to get pre show. this is probably the longest show we've ever done You want to hear the pre show Get an ad free version of this show, plus the bonus episode. You get two plus hours of content Click the I Won Chapters link in the show notes so you can get it for two dollars and fifty cents a month or twenty five dollars a year and you're supporting the show. We'd appreciate a five star rating review in Apple Podcast. If you could, you can watch everywhere. Oh and chapters, I think I mentioned this last week, but chapters are coming back in Apple Podcast come IOS twenty seven. chapters and follow along transcripts we'll be back for video shows. So you'll get chapters there. But if you just want to support the show, you still get so much content with the Capital C. And I'm back to actually recording the daily show with my actual voice. not generated by my Lven Lass anymore. I was generating it all week. but anyway, I impressed Chance Miller with that little shortcut that did it.ay Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening I'll catch you next time
