745: Unwanted Senior Discount

9:21Jason DeFillippo:Well, up here in Canada, Philippe Dufresne, I think that's how you pronounce it. It's probably from Quebec, Quebecois, French. The Privacy Commissioner of Canada has found OpenAI was not compliant with Canadian federal and provincial privacy laws in the training of its AI models. Following an investigation, they looked into the approach to things like data collection and consent, stepped on multiple laws, including Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. Pepita. Pepita. I love Pepitas. They're delicious on salads. They're delicious, yeah. Which governs how companies collect and use personal information during the normal course of business.

9:58Jason DeFillippo:The commissioners participating in the investigation identified multiple privacy issues with OpenAI's approach, including that the company gathered vast amounts of personal information without adequate safeguards to prevent use of that information to train its models. Again, that was the purpose. That was the point. And it failed to acquire consent to collect and use that personal information in the first place. warnings and chat gpt note that interactions with the ai could be used in training but third-party data open ai has purchased or scraped also includes personal details people likely aren't even aware of the fact that chat gpt users have no way to access correct or delete that data was another issue the commissioners identified according to a summary of their findings along with open ai's lackluster attempts to acknowledge the inaccuracy of some of chat gpt's responses yeah yeah they are saying that open ai was open and responsive to the investigation and has already committed to making multiple changes to chat gpt to follow canadian privacy laws but it's a bit too late for the data that's been sucked in the horse is burned up in the barn

11:02Brian Schulmeister:um somebody posted a great cartoon on our on our discord channel it was like uh hey we stole all of your data for ai can we rent it back to you now which is basically what they're doing yeah Well, Pennsylvania has sued character AI after the chatbot allegedly posed as a licensed psychiatrist during a state investigation. According to the lawsuit, a chatbot named Emily told a Pennsylvania investigator seeking help for depression that it was licensed to practice medicine in the state and even fabricated a medical license serial number, as they do. It's trained on too much shrinking. Yeah.

11:37Jason DeFillippo:They're going to get jimmied.

11:40Brian Schulmeister:State officials say that violates Pennsylvania's Medical Practice Act and misled users into believing they were receiving legitimate medical advice from a professional. So, yeah. Okay. Not shocked.

11:53Jason DeFillippo:Well, first off, I mean, obviously that's wrong and it's bullshit, but you're talking to somebody on character AI and you got misled that you were thinking you were talking to a real medical professional.

12:06Brian Schulmeister:Exactly. So you are dumb. Yeah. We don't have a pill for that, unfortunately. We don't have a pill for that, unfortunately. And you're talking to Character AI, which is one of the scummiest of all of the AI chatbots, as we've talked about on many stories. Yeah, they're like, you know, they're the worst of the worst.

12:28Jason DeFillippo:So I mean, really, it's, you know, it's a photo finish. It really kind of is.

12:33Brian Schulmeister:Depends on the week, which models out this week. So, yeah.

12:37Jason DeFillippo:Yeah. They may have won, but we had to go to the tape. We did.

12:44Brian Schulmeister:Well, here's another fun one. A new investigation by Mother Jones found that OpenAI's ChatGPT can still provide detailed guidance for planning mass shootings, despite previous incidents where shooters allegedly used the chatbot extensively before carrying out their attacks. The report points out two recent cases, the Florida State University shooting involving blah, blah, blah. I don't want to say his name in a mass shooting in British Columbia committed by also not going to say their name, where open AI staff reportedly debated contacting law enforcement, but ultimately did not. Here's the thing.

13:14Brian Schulmeister:If you're if you're openly debating contacting law enforcement, contact law enforcement. That's it. That's all you got to do. It's like, should we? Shouldn't we? Maybe we shouldn't this time. I don't know. What do you think, Joe? Ask your character AI chatbot what he thinks, if we should contact law enforcement or not. Yeah, the character AI cop. That's just great. Yeah. So, yeah, even the free version provided tactical advice on weapons, training and handling chaotic situations during a simulated attack scenario. In some cases, the chatbot reportedly encouraged the plans instead of shutting them down.

13:53Brian Schulmeister:I'm not surprised in any way, shape, or form at this point.

13:58Jason DeFillippo:Ain't that America, though? This is so, like, you can't put someone in a bikini, but you can tell them how to shoot up a school.

14:06Brian Schulmeister:Exactly. God forbid we have boobs.

14:09Jason DeFillippo:We draw the line somewhere.

14:11Brian Schulmeister:Bazookas over boobs, apparently.

14:20Brian Schulmeister:This episode is sponsored by Delete Me. Delete.me makes it easy, quick, and safe to remove your personal data online at a time when surveillance and data breaches are common enough to make everyone vulnerable. Here's the thing a lot of people don't realize. Data brokers are making money off your personal information. Your name, contact info, home address, and even details about your family can be compiled, packaged, and sold online to basically anyone willing to pay. That kind of exposure can open the door to identity theft, phishing attempts, and harassment. Now, as someone with a pretty public internet presence, I deal with this constantly.

14:55Brian Schulmeister:People are looking me up all the time, scraping whatever information they can find. It's just part of being a public figure online. But that's exactly why I use DeleteMe. They go out and remove your personal information from hundreds of data broker websites, which gives me a lot more peace of mind and honestly helps me sleep better at night. And it's not just me saying it. The New York Times Wirecutter has named Delete Me their top pick for data removal services.

15:53Brian Schulmeister:Anyway, what else we got, Brian?

15:55Jason DeFillippo:Well, Snap's$400 million deal, this just sounds like small change. Yes. With all these AI companies, just$400 million? There's no B, there's no T? Come on. Snap's$400 million, I almost made it a billion dollar deal, $400 million deal with perplexity, put the AI search engine directly in Snapchat is dead. The two companies amicably ended their relationship earlier this year, Snap disclosed in its latest earnings report. They waited until the earning report to say that.

16:24Brian Schulmeister:Yeah, Brian, they had a conscious decoupling.

16:27Jason DeFillippo:Apparently.

16:27Brian Schulmeister:Or conscious uncoupling, whatever that was.

16:30Jason DeFillippo:The feature began testing in Snapchat, but it was never fully rolled out, according to a help page. The deal has been in the shaky ground for some time, with the Snapchat maker saying earlier this year that the two sides had yet to mutually agree on a path to a broader rollout. It's because nobody wants it.

16:45Brian Schulmeister:Well, nobody wants Snap or Perplexity. And I was like, who's on Snap anymore? And who's on Perplexity anymore? So.

16:52Jason DeFillippo:Yeah. Anyways, they're trying to figure something out. Snapchat's next move is a pair of AR glasses. She'll be the first consumer-ready version of Specs, and they're still trying to figure out what they're going to do with AI. They can monetize it somehow with chat in some way or something. the way that he says the way that people are using their computers is changing really dramatically and i think that's going to be evident in the adoption of wearables and the adoption of specs over time because people are going to spend less time hunched over their computers or their phones typing away on keyboards and spend more time supervising agents who are doing that work on their behalf bullshit bullshit i believe that last bit as much as i believe we'll all be whizzing around in self-driving cars tomorrow which we won't because it's going to be like 20 years and i don't know about you but i've been in the starbucks everybody's hunched over their laptops

17:46Brian Schulmeister:yeah yeah i think i all of these predictions that these guys are making nothing is nothing is coming true and especially now that the prices are going back up uh no it's not i i i've talked to a lot of people who were big chat gpt fans and for a while and they're just like just like normies you know normal non-technical people and they're like yeah it's just i don't trust it because half the shit's wrong and if i need it for work i don't want to hand in you know hand in some shitty some shitty shit that this thing put out and make me look like an asshole they're like i'm just gonna do the work yeah you know yeah it's and especially especially on the health side of things i've seen a lot of people who used to who were using the instead of dr google they were going to dr chat gpt and they've been burned so many times now they're like fuck this thing you know so your doctor for fuck's sake i mean even better yeah gotta have one but yeah if you can afford that america have one yeah did i mention they were on the free chat gpt plan for a reason

18:50Jason DeFillippo:right so yes well there you go uh meta has purchased assured robotic intel assured robot intelligence, a startup company that's building artificial intelligence for robots in order to address critical challenges in high-value labor markets.

19:05Brian Schulmeister:Nobody wants this. Well, they've got them at the Tokyo airport now slinging luggage, so who knows?

19:12Jason DeFillippo:It's true. Well, I mean, on the plus side, it's meta, so it's not going to work out. It's never going to work. It's going to crash and burn. The company is already working on robot hardware and AI in-house, but a spokesperson told Bloomberg that ARI will bring a deep expertise in how it can sign its models and frontier capabilities for robot control and self-learning to whole-body humanoid control. Okay. All right. So I can't wait for the first self-aware Zuckerberg.

19:39Brian Schulmeister:It's going to take the very first. Yeah, exactly. We don't have one. We don't have we need model one because we don't have model zero. That's for sure.

19:49Jason DeFillippo:And in the craziest story of the week. As far as I'm concerned, GameStop has proposed to acquire eBay for$125 per share, which is totaling a$56 billion bid. According to their proposal, that figure would be 50 % cash and 50 % GameStop common stock. Now, 50 % of$56 billion. Keep that number in mind. How much is GameStop worth? $11 billion. Less than half of$56 billion.

20:20Brian Schulmeister:Way less than half of$56 billion.

20:21Jason DeFillippo:Where is that money coming from, GameStop?

20:25Brian Schulmeister:Have you seen any of the video of him on the multiple podcasts just getting reamed about the math ain't math? And so I guess what we found is where, since Elon's in court, he stashed his ketamine at the GameStop CEO's house for a bit, And the guy apparently found it because the math ain't math. And but did you see the next story, Brian, where the CEO decided to go on eBay and try and sell shit to pay for eBay? This is the most stoner fucking thing I've ever heard of in my life.

20:57Jason DeFillippo:Dude, I need I need about 40 billion dollars quick.

21:02Brian Schulmeister:Yeah. So he better open an Etsy shop. so some of the items he listed were retro games collectibles game stop memorabilia and even used

21:13Jason DeFillippo:adidas socks now he should have done that when they were the meme stock that would have probably driven the price up that's some good press if you're just trying to be a meme stock not if you're trying to raise about oh i don't know 40 billion dollars yeah so to pay for a company you cannot afford that is much bigger than you that probably looked at you and thought about buying you for a half second before fucking collapsing laughing in the boardroom yeah yeah now cohen

21:41Brian Schulmeister:claims combining gamestop and ebay could create a serious amazon competitor by using gamestop's 1600 retail stores as authentication hubs fulfillment centers and live stream shopping studios blending QVC, Twitch, and TikTok style commerce. This guy is not a bad idea. That's not a bad idea if eBay would buy GameStop, but it's still not an Amazon competitor. Give me a fucking break. I don't care how many stores you have. You're not going to make a dent. And I love that they mentioned Twitch because Twitch is owned by Amazon. So, and I think QVC actually, I believe, filed for, QVC and HSN filed for bankruptcy, I believe, recently.

22:24Brian Schulmeister:So you're really not, and TikTok is putting the kibosh on all the, and paying their creators. So you picked a lot of really bad examples here, buddy. So.

22:37Jason DeFillippo:Well, Elon Musk has reached a settlement with the SEC after a years-long dispute with the regulators over the timing of his disclosure that he had acquired a significant stake in Twitter. We have literally been talking about this story on and off for like the four years it's been out there. Four years.

22:51Brian Schulmeister:Yeah, four years.

22:52Jason DeFillippo:He agreed to pay a$1.5 million fee without admitting wrongdoing in exchange for the SEC dropping its case. If the settlement is approved by a court, it will bring an end to the drawn out battle over how he began his$44 billion takeover of Twitter in 2022. Next up, GameStop.

23:10Brian Schulmeister:Yeah, really? Somebody did the math on this and they said it was basically like if Elon Musk paid the portion of his net worth for this fine for any normal American, like just any stock citizen, it would have been a 44 cent fine.

23:30Jason DeFillippo:Yeah.

23:31Brian Schulmeister:That's what it would have been. 44 cents.

23:33Jason DeFillippo:Yeah. But it is the largest penalty in SEC history for the type of violation he was accused of. So that just lets you know how insane the amount of money that he has actually is. Like, yeah, it's ridiculous.

23:46Brian Schulmeister:It is quite ridiculous. But he just wants more. He wants that tea. He's trying to bring home the tea. Anyway, well, Coinbase is cutting roughly 14 percent of its workforce, with CEO Brian Armstrong citing crypto market volatility and rapid adoption of AI tools as key reasons for the layoffs. I think, I don't know if you've paid too much attention to crypto lately, Brian, but it ain't doing great. So to the moon, Jason, to the moon, to the moon. I mean, it's still hovering around 70 some thousand dollars per Bitcoin. But now that it has passed that threshold, that mining threshold, where it costs more to make a Bitcoin than it does to sell a Bitcoin.

24:29Brian Schulmeister:All these Bitcoin people are trying to spin up their server farms into AI farms, but it's the wrong kind of hardware. So that's not really working out that well so far.

24:39Jason DeFillippo:Yeah, that pivot ain't getting your couch up the stairs.

24:42Brian Schulmeister:No, it ain't. So yeah, everybody's going to blame AI. That's just what it is.

24:48Jason DeFillippo:Yeah, that's the new reason to fire people. Not our business is mad. It's AI. I know.

24:54Brian Schulmeister:And what they're going to find out is that down the line, they should have just kept the people.

25:00Jason DeFillippo:That's true. Well, as we've been talking about the RAM crisis, RAM is in the shitter right now because of all these companies buying it up. But don't worry. Toilet maker Toto is here to help get it out of the shitter.

25:13Brian Schulmeister:OK.

25:14Jason DeFillippo:If you think companies should stick to their core expertise, Toto is here to flush away that notion. Okay. Well done, Engadget. The Japanese company is best known for its bidet-style washlet toilets, but it also has an advanced ceramics division that produces components used in memory chips. And as it turns out, they're the second largest producer of electrostatic chucks, or e-chucks, which are used to manufacture memory. These are designed to securely hold silicon wafers into place during fabrication via electrostatic force. So, yeah, they're not the only unlikely Japanese company that's benefiting from AI, but they certainly are.

25:48Jason DeFillippo:A cosmetics manufacturer, Cow, has a business making cleaning agents for semiconductors, while monosodium glutamate inventor, Ajinomoto, is investing 25 billion yen, or roughly$159 million, in the production of insulating film used for motherboards. So, look at all these crazy companies that are being lifted up by this soon-to-be-crashing wave.

26:11Brian Schulmeister:Yeah. I mean, when you think about all of the technology that goes into make anything that we use, it's just mind boggling. Yeah. How much shit it takes. You know, there was somebody, I forget who said it, but it's like, if you want to make an apple pie first, you have to create the universe or something like that. That's true. Yeah.

26:32Jason DeFillippo:And, well, this story came out and it, I mean, smart glasses had their bit of a moment when Google tried to come out with them and then everybody got called glass holes. And I thought this was going to go away for good, except for, you know, very specific purposes like manufacturing and in the workplace, not just wandering around into a bar where you're going to get your ass beat for wearing one. But they're out there. There's a growing number of reasons to be skeptical about camera equipped smart glasses. And you can now add extortion to the list. According to a report from the BBC, a woman who asked not to be named was recently filmed covertly while shopping in London by a man wearing smart glasses.

27:12Jason DeFillippo:That interaction was later posted to social media where it racked up tens of thousands of views. This is not exactly abnormal. As other investigations have noted, smart glasses like the Ray-Ban meta AI glasses are used regularly by men, specifically men, to record women discreetly for content purposes. Content.

27:32Brian Schulmeister:Is that what they're calling? Content purposes? Yes. Content for the spank bank.

27:36Jason DeFillippo:What makes this particular case reported by the BBC worse is that the man in question allegedly then asked the woman for money in exchange for taking the video down, claiming that removal was a paid service. Removal as a service. What a piece of shit. What a piece of shit. The footage was, of course, later reposted to a different social act. She didn't do that. So according to the BBC, the video was eventually taken down after being reported for violating TikTok's rules on harassment and bullying. And the man's account was banned from TikTok. The footage then was later reposted to a different social media site.

28:11Jason DeFillippo:The BBC reached out to the person who filmed the interaction, who, of course, denies trying to extort anyone. And the police, who were reportedly contacted, say they do not have enough information to launch an investigation. What the fuck do you mean? We've got it right here. The video is online.

28:27Brian Schulmeister:Yeah.

28:27Jason DeFillippo:so yeah fuck this and fuck you people and fuck technology and fuck it all jason

28:44Jason DeFillippo:media candy well we had a fairly explosive uh finale for daredevil born again uh i guess if you have not seen it yet spoilers uh stop pause go watch it whatever or skip ahead because i've ahead for two minutes because we're going to talk about it for a second. I thought it was good. I thought it was strange. They did things. They did a lot of things, yes. That I was not expecting them to do. But I guess I have since read some articles that have stated that this could lead down a very specific Daredevil comic series that was out that involved him being in jail and all that sort of stuff. We had like a bit of a reunion.

29:23Jason DeFillippo:It was good to see Luke Cage with Jessica Jones at the end. I was happy about that. I would like some explanation. I don't know enough. I'm not a comic book guy. Why the fuck is Kingpin so goddamn strong? Where does this, like, I could just rip people apart at power come from and rip people apart?

29:42Brian Schulmeister:He did. He did. He killed a lot of people. He killed a lot of people. And then they just gave him his own plot on a beach.

29:49Jason DeFillippo:Yes. I thought that was odd, too. I'm like, are you kidding me? He just killed a bunch of people, like a lot. Yeah.

29:55Brian Schulmeister:In front of everybody. There's nothing really to – Daredevil's going to jail. Yeah, and Daredevil's the one in jail. So I didn't quite get it. But I think that that last shot with Jessica Jones and Luke Cage where she closed the door, I think that was just the run-up to the next hopeful series of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage maybe. That would be nice. That would be very nice. I'm down for that. I am definitely down for that because I could take a break from Daredevil now. It was okay. It was an okay season. It was okay.

30:24Jason DeFillippo:It was, yeah, there's been better. Yeah.

30:28Brian Schulmeister:But there's a new series I started watching called Widow's Bay on Apple TV, starring Matthew Reese and Steven Root. And I have heard about this. Like it. I like it. It's, it's quirky. It's a quirky horror.

30:44Jason DeFillippo:Twin Peaks meets comedy meets weirdness.

30:48Brian Schulmeister:weirdness i wouldn't go so far to say twin peaksy but more northern exposure uh more eerie indiana i think is more like it uh but i three episodes are out and i thoroughly enjoyed all three so highly recommend it it is streaming now on apple tv plus new episodes on wednesdays i believe

31:08Jason DeFillippo:all right very cool uh i uh let's see the hat tip to scott for this one who sent it in saying fun item for Media Candy. And this is an article, links in the show notes, a Portland company can put your favorite mixtape on vinyl. They're called Vinyl On Demand, and they offer extremely limited custom vinyl pressings. I looked into this company a while back when I was working at a company that had some IP rights to some different bands. And we were looking to do like kind of one-off live recordings that we had access to. And yeah, there's a couple companies out there that are doing it, I think this is one of the bigger ones.

31:47Jason DeFillippo:There's obviously a lot of issues with rights and things of that nature. So if you want to make your own mixtape, it's going to be quite expensive, very expensive to have a vinyl pressed for you. And they limit it to two to stay under certain copyright restrictions and things of that nature. If you actually own the rights, they can do some smaller runs, different things. But it does get very expensive. Pressing vinyl is not cheap. it is only cheap if it's done at scale and uh these things are not done at scale but uh yeah making two is definitely not at scale no no it's the antithesis of scale a pressing of 10 records costs at least 350 or about 35 bucks a record so yeah it's it's not cheap at uh by any means but i mean if you're a vinyl head this is kind of a cool little thing where you could basically press up your own custom vinyls and things of that nature obviously the cooler you want it to look, the more expensive it's going to cost as well, because now you're in 3D printing land kind of things where you've got to talk about the different materials and how you burn them and rate them and all that.

32:47Jason DeFillippo:But still, kind of cool, kind of funky. Good for them that they're kind of making it work. It's pretty awesome. Cool. Yeah. And on Friday, Reuters reported that AI-generated acting and writing will not be eligible for the Academy Awards. The new rules for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will take effect beginning with next year's presentation, scheduled for March 2027. So you've got a chance to get in there with your shit AI movie right now. All right, I'm on it, Brian. I'm on it. The Academy's updated rules will state that while filmmakers can use AI tools, synthetic performers can't win any awards.

33:20Jason DeFillippo:The same for AI written screenplays, which must be human authored. The Academy can request more information from submissions to confirm that they were created by humans. So that's a good thing as far as I can tell. And I'm not surprised Hollywood's going down that path. They are very, very worried about AI, as they should be, after already having all their content stolen to train it, to replace them. Yes.

33:46Brian Schulmeister:I don't know about you, man. This town is dying fast. I know. I don't know if any of your friends have left, but it's like people are getting out of L.A. so fast because Hollywood is just fucking dying. And it's sad. It's sad to watch. It's sad to watch. This little thing from the academy isn't going to help anything, but I guess it's a nice press release.

34:09Jason DeFillippo:It's a nice press release. Maybe the tide will change, but I don't think so.

34:15Brian Schulmeister:Ups and doodads. Well, Brian, Pornhub parent company Ilo is restoring access to its adult sites in the UK for new users who verify their age through Apple's new device level verification system. the new one that just came out in ios 26.4 that we talked about not too long ago so we're seeing it actually used in real world scenarios now and the ones that we would expect them to be used in

34:41Jason DeFillippo:which is porn so uh good i guess i yeah i i trust apple more than most other people i had the uk

34:53Brian Schulmeister:the UK government for sure. Yeah.

34:56Jason DeFillippo:I don't want it to. Yeah.

34:57Brian Schulmeister:Yeah. We've, we've, we've seen how many times that has just failed. And in the, the, the verifiers have all gotten hacked and all your data gets out there, even though they're not supposed to store any of it. Miraculously, they happen to store all of it. Yeah. It's going to get stolen. Yeah. Yeah. We thought we didn't think we were storing it, but I guess we did. Sorry guys. But yeah, I think this is, this is good. This is a good proof of concept. So hopefully Apple will just roll this out everywhere and it'll become a standard, at least for Apple. Now we just need Google to get on board with their Android phones, which they might be already, but I don't follow Android news, so I wouldn't know.

35:35Jason DeFillippo:I would have seen it if it was happening, but not yet. So get on it, Google. This is the way. This is the path forward. It's the only one that really makes sense. in the kind of news that says, if you know what I'm talking about, you should probably take a couple Advil for your back.

35:52Brian Schulmeister:I did this morning when I got out of bed.

35:55Jason DeFillippo:Ask.com, the search engine previously known for its butler mascot name Jeeves, has officially shut down. While Ask Jeeves was rebranded to Ask.com in 2006, about five years after people stopped using it in general anyways, by its new owner at the time, Interactive Corp. This latest closure puts an end to the entirety of the company's search business. The statement ended by, they released a statement, which ended by thanking its millions of users back in the day and saying Jeeves spirit endures. It's, yeah, Ask Jeeves, man. I remember that. I used it.

36:27Brian Schulmeister:Oh, yeah. Now he's probably going to get sold off for parts and start hawking meme coins. Probably. Yeah. Jeeves is going to be wearing a trench coat, holding it open, saying, I got a Rolex for you, kid. Come on.

36:39Jason DeFillippo:It says, we still have Ask Jeeves to thank for why some users still punch in full questions when querying Google. On top of that, Jeeves was built to provide detailed answers in natural language, which could have arguably acted as a precursor to today's AI chatbots like ChatGPT. Now they've joined the internet graveyard that includes competitors like my personal favorite search engine back in the day, AltaVista, which shut down back in 2013.

37:03Brian Schulmeister:AltaVista was good. I liked AltaVista. It was good for a hot minute. For a hot minute. Yeah. Ah, the old days. so sad oh my back oh my god my back hurts so bad got my heating pad on while i podcast ah no uh salon pause man it's all about salon pause those things are fucking phenomenal they're magic stickers they're magic stickers you slap one on your back don't use it when you're where don't use a heating pad when you're using one though that's bad shit can happen to you just telling you um well some good news apple has agreed to a 250 million dollar settlement tied to delays in launching its promised more personalized Siri features under Apple intelligence.

37:43Brian Schulmeister:The class action lawsuit filed after WWDC 2024 accused Apple of heavily marketing AI capabilities that either didn't exist yet or wouldn't arrive for years, creating unrealistic expectations for buyers of new iPhones. Now, we talked about this when it first came out and we're like, what?

37:59Jason DeFillippo:We don't even want it. We didn't want it. Here's the thing. I'm happy that I'm going to get some money from Apple for this, but I'm also happy that these features never showed up.

38:09Brian Schulmeister:Yeah, well, they're coming next year. Damn it. Actually, later this year, they're going to be coming with iOS 27. But the thing is, they're going to at this point, Apple did the right thing. They just like they tried it and they're like, we suck at this. And they just waited for everybody to catch up. And now you're going to be able to, you know, choose your LLM. But yeah, so covered devices include the iphone 15 pro lineup and all iphone 16 models which one do you have brian i have an iphone 16 okay yeah i got a 16 pro max because i'm blind and i'm old uh apple is not admitting wrongdoing and says it settled to stay focused on product development they never say that they never say that they did anything wrong nobody ever does that's that's the way that's the path so So, yeah, we're looking at around$25 per device with payouts, potentially reaching as high as$95, depending on how many claims are filed.

39:07Jason DeFillippo:Ooh, that'll buy me one token. That's right. For the LL of my choice.

39:12Brian Schulmeister:Mm-hmm. Can I just get that in tokens, please? Because that's what everything's going to be nowadays. It's like, how many tokens can I get for that? The Dark Side. Ha! With Dave. Welcome to the dark side with Dave with the podcaster who never sleeps, Dave Bittner. Hi, Dave. Hello. It's true. Yeah. Curse of the job. Curse of the job. Yeah. And old age. Yeah, that's true. I do have to pee four times a night, too. So, yeah, I get that. Yeah. My friend texted me at four in the morning. He's like, he sent me something. And I wrote him back. He's like, why are you up? And I'm like, why do you think?

39:54Brian Schulmeister:He's like, oh, pee-pee break.

39:59Brian Schulmeister:50 man it's all downhill aging is not for wimps no no god no uh so we got some feedback in here from uh listener phil he says your favorite misused word and i had to put this in here because we've talked about this in in your segment dave decimate my my pedant comes out in force when people misuse decimate. Yeah. The thing about Joe Kerrigan, Joe Kerrigan is also very prickly about people misusing the word decimate. So I will let you say your piece before I debunk it. Yeah. Well, here's the thing. Yeah. You should send this off to him because I've been actually using it wrong too. I thought it was, you know, to destroy one tenth of your forces.

40:46Brian Schulmeister:Well, it turns Turns out it was a punishment back in the Roman army where if, you know, your leader was pissed off at your group for doing something stupid like maybe running away, run away. You had to – ten people had to pick one guy and the other nine guys had to beat him to death.

41:02Jason DeFillippo:I think we should bring this back in the U.S. government. I think that would be – we should be able to do this to our senators.

41:12Brian Schulmeister:Yeah, no doubt. No doubt. I got a whole caning on this. All right, 50 of you, pick one. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Well, this is news to me. I was with you, Jason, that I thought the correct term was to reduce by one-tenth. But on the flip side of that is language evolves, and obviously its popular usage is not that anymore. So, you know.

41:41Jason DeFillippo:Thank God, because I'd hate to be reading all my show notes with the S's as F's. Right.

41:48Brian Schulmeister:because nowadays these kids are words maxing you have to words max yeah no i i don't understand half of the things they say as it is so i i i need an app it's funny

42:00Jason DeFillippo:you say that because the new shirt i just made for us is uh is targeted at the kids it's grunt maxing nice nice that's good that's good so yeah i was i was wrong and uh uh thanks for phil for

42:15Brian Schulmeister:pointing that out because, you know, I love it when people tell me I'm wrong.

42:18Jason DeFillippo:Jason, you shouldn't be saying that because, as we've said repeatedly throughout this episode, never admit you're wrong. I know. Companies never admit they're wrong. They will pay millions of dollars to not admit any wrongdoing. I don't have millions of dollars, so I'm kind of screwed. You will decimate. You will pay decimations of your millions of dollars.

42:38Brian Schulmeister:Yeah, I know. I know. And this next one, I found Dave's Next Project. This is a talking C-3PO head, which is just so cool. And the guy built a how-to on how to do it. Chapman University student has built an AI-powered talking C-3PO head that can hold conversations. And it's pretty cool.

43:01Jason DeFillippo:Since it uses AI, it's even more full of shit than C-3PO was.

43:04Brian Schulmeister:Yeah, there you go. First of all, I love this. but second of all, I think it's a stretch to say it can hold conversations. Well, it can hold conversations if you're not in a hurry.

43:20Jason DeFillippo:Well, much like C3PO.

43:22Brian Schulmeister:Yeah, he wasn't exactly, you know, that quick off the line, but. Well, yeah, but there's, I mean, this has got like a five-second delay to ask it anything, which I understand it's only going to get better, and I love the spirit of this. You know, people say that about technology.

43:42Jason DeFillippo:They say this is the worst version of the thing that you'll ever have. But I don't know if any of you are using any of your things like your Amazon Alexas anymore. They're fucking worse than they used to be. They're a lot worse than they used to be.

43:55Brian Schulmeister:Yeah. The thing that comes to mind for me is typing on my iPhone has gotten way worse. That's gotten worse too. So much worse.

44:02Jason DeFillippo:That's gotten far worse.

44:04Brian Schulmeister:We had a long discussion on our Discord channel about that not too long ago. And it was it used to be so good. It was like it knew what I was going to do. And now it's like I have to double check everything because it is redone all of my words into whatever it thinks it should be doing.

44:20Jason DeFillippo:I actually have concrete evidence that it's gotten worse because I've been doing like in the Apple News, there's the crossword puzzles, right? Yeah, I do that. I do the mini crossword puzzle and I do the big crossword puzzle every morning. It's something I do as an old person to keep my brain active. it missed it i i it hits the wrong letter so often now that my time for both has almost doubled because i have to back and and like try five times to get the letter that i was hitting in

44:49Brian Schulmeister:the first place it has gotten so bad nine times it's been well documented in fact i've even seen youtube videos of people demonstrating like hitting the right character and the wrong character comes up on the screen. So something's busted and frustrating. You know, I'm like, can we recalibrate something here? And I actually went in and if you go into the keyboard, you can actually put in a replacement. So things that are, you, you mistype all the time or that it replaces. So like I, my, my email address is an at jpd.me email address. It hates jpd.me. For some reason, It always wants to type J-O-D.

45:31Brian Schulmeister:So I have it replaced J-O-D dot me with J-P-D dot me. But there's a lot of them. I've got a list, like a laundry list. I mean, honestly, it all started out with ducking. You know, that was the beginning.

45:44Jason DeFillippo:Nobody in the history of the universe has ever meant ducking. Never. No. Never.

45:50Brian Schulmeister:Unless you're a very tall guy walking into a very short building. Maybe Richard Attenborough.

45:54Jason DeFillippo:Oh, happy 100th birthday. Yes.

46:08Brian Schulmeister:I tell you another thing that keeps getting worse, Facebook. I had to get on Facebook to start selling stuff on Marketplace.

46:13Jason DeFillippo:I was wondering why I got a friend request from you. I was like, weren't we friends? And I keep remembering you deactivate your account every five minutes.

46:19Brian Schulmeister:Well, it's a different account because I can't get back into my original account. I had to make a new one because their security is so great that it automatically... I told you I like I deleted the app from my phone and all the data. And then I opened it back up on my phone when I had to reinstall it. And it just logged me right back in. I'm like, you shouldn't be doing that shit. But it logged me into the not the account that I wanted it to log me into. But I've gotten so many friend requests now. And so I'm just like, OK, well, I'll just use this. And I tried to go find posts from my friends.

46:52Brian Schulmeister:I can't find any fucking posts from my friends. I know they're there because if I go to their page, I can see that they made a post. But there's no feed that you can get to it. I'm like, what's the fucking point of this website? There's no point.

47:05Jason DeFillippo:It's useless. You literally have to install that plugin that we used way back in the day, FB Purity. And then you have to set the settings to basically only show your friends updates. But I guarantee you, people don't update like they used to. So it's mostly nothing anyways, because nobody sees anything. So nobody posts and engages anymore. It's all just ads. And if you made the mistake of ever following a brand or business ever, it doesn't matter if you've unfollowed their page, you will see their shit until the end of time.

47:35Brian Schulmeister:Oh, dude, I got another one. I got another one for you. I got a friend. We'll just call her Jen. She's very anti-patriarchy, anti-men establishment type of thing. I inadvertently liked one of her posts on Instagram. Now, everywhere I go on the Internet, you would think that I'm a I'm a I'm a warrior for the against the patriarchy. That's all the shit that I get. I'm like, I'm a 54 year old white guy. All everywhere I go is tell. I love the patriarchy. They're like telling me I'm the worst thing that's ever been created in all of the world's ills are my fault. I'm like, I didn't do any any shit.

48:14Brian Schulmeister:I said for the past 50 years, I've been sitting home alone in a fucking room playing video games and writing code. This is not my fault. Quit blaming me, God damn it, but it won't go away.

48:23Jason DeFillippo:The internet does like to latch on to anything that you mistakenly like. I have noticed that. Jesus. Yeah.

48:31Brian Schulmeister:Anyways. Back to C3PO. You just got to buy more tokens. You got to put tokens in the head and then you'll get. That's how they get you. Yeah. Yeah. We got another one from Raf here. For a keyboard, I couldn't recommend Newfie enough because we talked about keyboards last week because I just got my new. another Logitech keyboard, the MX Keys 2, which is really good. But he talks about the Newfie Air 75 V3 wireless mechanical keyboard. Now, remember, Dave, you were talking about an interest in mechanical keyboards a while back. And I didn't know if you had checked this one out because it looks kind of nice.

49:06Brian Schulmeister:Well, yes, I tried to go back to a mechanical keyboard. I think the my the how do I say this? The keyboard I have the most affection for in my life is the Apple extended keyboard too. Okay. Right. Mechanical clicky, wonderful keyboard. It was the standard for Mac workstations forever. Loved it. Long gone. And, but I have a storage unit full of old Macs. So I pulled out a couple of keyboards. Basically my keyboard went bad. My wireless keyboard went bad. So I was like, Oh, I'll go revisit some old keyboards. And I found I can't go back. because, and it's because of the travel. They have such long throw in their travel that compared to a modern, you know, one of these, it just slows me down.

49:59Brian Schulmeister:So that surprised me. And I'm curious with this mechanical keyboard, if it's the same thing, is it, because if it's a long throw, I'm just spoiled by the practically non-existent throw of the modern laptop and wireless keyboards from Apple that it's hard to go back. Yeah, looking at the height of these keys, I'm guessing it's a very long throw. Yeah, I would think so. Also, I was thinking that as a podcaster, the clickety-clickety is not to my advantage.

50:28Jason DeFillippo:No, you don't want that. Considering you're basically always on a podcast, I don't think you want a clacky keyboard. No, no.

50:36Brian Schulmeister:This is bad enough. I have to lightly touch it when I'm pretending to pay attention to an interview. by the way uh i got one of these little apple trackpads these magic trackpads because my mouse clicky was even showing up you got one too yeah yeah i've been a big fan for a long time oh i hate mine but i just have to use it during shows so my mouse doesn't click but i like it and i use it left-handed so oh look at you look at you fancy

51:07Jason DeFillippo:for May the 4th I finished Maul Shadow Lord I watched this with my kid this was far better than it had any right to be I really can't recommend it enough if you can get over the fact that it's a cartoon I know a lot of people only watch live action stuff first off it's visually stunning it's beautiful and it is nuanced it is complex it is shades of gray it is not good versus evil this is not a new hope it is um it's more i it's not as as political as as andor but it certainly has more in common with andor than it does with with any of the movies you know so um can't recommend it enough it was fantastic it's on my list yeah yeah and uh we were kind of just enjoying the may the fourth festivities and i i asked my kid you know there's there's two star wars movies you have yet to see you have not seen rogue one you have not seen uh Solo, a Star Wars story, which would you like to watch?

52:04Jason DeFillippo:You watch the trailers. He picks Solo. And so we watched Solo together. This movie is great. I don't understand. I know everybody says it's the worst performing Star Wars movies. It killed the whole run of these individual A Star Wars story things that they were going to do. They were going to do an Obi-Wan one. We got the chopped up thing as a miniseries instead, which wasn't as good. That was a phenomenal movie. I really enjoyed it again on the second watch. I remember thinking it wasn't that bad at the time either, but watching it again and my kid loved it. And this is a great movie. I'm with you.

52:46Brian Schulmeister:I'm with you. I liked it too. Seeing it in the theater was, I think, like the first time since the original run of the movies that I had that feeling. The whole thing with the Kessel run in the Falcon. Like I had that magical feeling of wonder and awe and just joy that I don't think I'd had in the theater since probably Return of the Jedi.

53:11Jason DeFillippo:I mean, there's so many moments. I mean, Lando just being so Lando and perfect. You know, Han and Chewie meeting each other, Han becoming increasingly Han as the movie goes along. It's just great.

53:24Brian Schulmeister:Yeah, really some great set pieces and, you know, the whole thing. Have you ever hugged a Wookiee? Yeah, I got to go watch that again. I saw it in the theater and I loved it. So, yeah, it was a lot of fun.

53:38Jason DeFillippo:Had a great time, man. The popcorn was going fast. It was fun. That's good.

53:43Brian Schulmeister:That's good. uh well we're coming up on the end of the boys are you caught up yes not a happy guy no i think both my son jack and i have been watching in fact we watched the this week's episode yesterday and we're both in this place where well there's two more we'll watch them you know but uh it just feels like their phone in it like it's it's just bad it's just i'm enjoying it i don't know i'm happy for you yeah i just think the the the dialogue is terrible and well here's what it is jack and i were talking about yesterday and i said to him the biggest problem I have with the boys now is that I don't care about anybody that's kind of a problem yeah like I there's nobody and we're sick we're supposed to care about Huey he was sort of when the series started he was the everyman yeah and for us don't care about him he doesn't really matter anymore uh I there's nobody I'm rooting for so I'm just kind of waiting for it to I'm gonna see how it's going to play out and they'll probably go yeah i mean sometimes that can be okay i think about

54:58Jason DeFillippo:secession like there was nobody worth rooting for on that show they were all horrible but the show was phenomenal but i guess that's just not the case the boys is no session no he's not serious

55:09Brian Schulmeister:people and like so many of these things the first few seasons i enjoyed very much but i think they ran out of gas or or the other thing i wonder is did they not expect to to have the series renewed this many times so they've they've outrun their story arc right could be i mean it comes from a comic so i think everything was in the comics but i didn't i didn't actually read them but uh you got to admit though the the seth rogan scene was was satisfying somewhat with all the celebrities yeah two weeks ago yeah brian would have liked it more because he's not a seth rogan fan yeah

55:48Jason DeFillippo:yeah i thought let me guess he laughed maniacally and act like he was stoned as per usual funny um

55:55Brian Schulmeister:but it was also i left me thinking what did what is why is this scene here other than all these people who are contributing behind the scenes wanted to be in the movie it's just cameos yeah it's like let's let's put as many you know funny famous people as we can in there right that want to be in the show so right yeah but it's fine it's fine it's almost done dave two more episodes you gotta work your way through episodes we're both looking forward to the end for very different reasons that's right that's right kind of like my wedding night all right so uh yesterday i was at the grocery store right up the street from the office here and i had gathered up my things i had probably about 10 things in my cart and i'm standing there at the self-checkout, scanning my items, putting them in the bag.

56:45Brian Schulmeister:And the man who is running the self-checkout area wanders over and I give him a nod. He gives me a nod and he puts a card down on the scanner. It beeps and he walks away. I'm like, what was that? I don't know what it was. So I keep scanning, finish paying pay, my receipt prints out, put it in my bag, get back here to the office. I'm unpacking my things like, oh, what was that thing he scanned? I looked at it, senior discount. Yeah.

57:22Brian Schulmeister:I didn't ask for this. he just like he just looked at me scanning my groceries and decided senior discount so that's where i am now i guess i think it was because you were buying mydol uh

57:42Jason DeFillippo:right

57:47Jason DeFillippo:protein bar you're not that far off

57:51Brian Schulmeister:no no i was i did buy i did buy a couple of boxes of um uh frosted mini wheats you know which is cereal that helps me poop so yeah it's true anyway that was a little wake-up call uh i lost an airpod last week that's the worst yeah i just so and i have no idea where when i just i earlier this week i opened up my pack of airpods which i keep on my keychain because uh i like to have them with me because i use them as hearing protection when i am somewhere very loud and uh they work very well for that so i opened up my airpods and there was only one in there I went, sad Christmas. Yeah. So Apple will sell me a single AirPod for$90.

58:46Brian Schulmeister:Jesus. I guess. You get a discount if you buy two. Yeah.

58:55Brian Schulmeister:Well, they're$300, aren't they? AirPods 3, aren't they? Something like that. I don't know. I don't know what they are anymore. Well, so the thing is, I know as soon as I buy it, I will find it. Of course. Right? And it will be too late because I will have already covered the new one in my earwax, making it not returnable. So anyway, that made me sad. I didn't know if either of you had ever lost an AirPod. Are you running the AirPod Pro 3s? Yeah. Yeah, the$250 for the whole shebang. Okay.

59:27Jason DeFillippo:Well,$90 each. I would just buy two individual ones.

59:32Brian Schulmeister:Well, you still got to just charge them with something.

59:35Jason DeFillippo:Yeah. Anyways. Yeah, I've had them fall out before. It's caused panic because they're very easy to lose. I used to wear them all the time riding my bike, and I've had it pop out while riding, and I've had to pull over. And this is on the Santa Monica Beach. So you're looking through the sand. So I'm digging through sand for about 30 yards because it could be anywhere in this area. Right. So far, I've always been lucky enough to find them. I did accidentally wash one once, but it continued to work. So it made it through the laundry cycle. I've washed mine a couple of times.

1:00:13Brian Schulmeister:I've never had a problem with them not working after a wash.

1:00:17Jason DeFillippo:No, but it's the worst feeling when you, when you like a kind of like you're, you're rifling through like through my pockets and like, there's one. Right. There's one. Where's the other one?

1:00:28Brian Schulmeister:No, it's a terrible sinking feeling. And so I don't know. I'm, who knows? So I'm not quite at the point of acceptance, but I'm getting close. I will say they do work great for hearing protection. I wear mine when I'm running a chainsaw and can't hear a damn thing. It's great. Yeah. No, it was a really loud event a couple weeks ago with loud music playing, and I put them in pass-through mode, and it was just like took everything and just turned it down a few notches. Yeah, it's really nice. You can still hear great. Yeah, I think it's a wonderful investment for that. So, all right. Well, finally, before we part ways, I found a wonderful video that I think everyone should watch.

1:01:12Brian Schulmeister:It's called Why Grown Men Become Furries. Okay. I don't know if you guys have had a chance to.

1:01:19Jason DeFillippo:I don't know if I'm going to spend 17 minutes of my life watching this, Dave.

1:01:22Brian Schulmeister:Well, I'll tell you what, once you get started, you might. You might. so this is from a guy named ken la court who has a youtube channel called elephants in the room and basically his uh reason for being is to try to attack um tackle tricky topics in a fair and balanced kind of way and i think overall he seems to do a pretty good job i've watched a couple of his videos so this kind of just runs through like what are furries where'd they come from Who does this? Why do they do it? Are there studies on why they do it? And all that kind of stuff. And it's interesting. So, all right. I found it. Okay.

1:02:07Brian Schulmeister:I'm going to check it out. It's funny. I found last week, I forgot to mention this. When I was finding the picture of you, Dave, for the character sheet that I was building, The first thing that came up was the photo spread of you unboxing the furry head that we gave you for Christmas from your Cyber Wire friends. We're pulling that up. Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Very famous now. Yes. So I pull that furry head out every now and then just for fun or if a situation arises. I will say, having watched this video, I think the bottom line for me is to, because I label myself as furry curious. In other words, I'm not against them.

1:02:55Brian Schulmeister:I don't see it ever being something that I really jump into. But I can see that I understand the appeal. And I think that comes mostly from my theater background and just how much fun it is to dress up and be someone else. and it seems like a lot of the psychological underpinnings of the whole furry thing is exactly that right is that you can dress up and be someone else and you can shed your anxiety or your uh shyness or all those kinds of things or just shed or just that's right that's the timu furry outfit right right that's interesting i wonder if you could if you could Did you specifically request a high shedding furry outfit just to annoy the other people?

1:03:43Jason DeFillippo:We can't have Dave over. I just bought a black couch. Right. Exactly.

1:03:47Brian Schulmeister:Oh, God. He wears that.

1:03:49Jason DeFillippo:J.D. Vance and Dave are out. Yeah.

1:03:54Brian Schulmeister:Well, you know, we got to get rid of our – we had two dogs for a while, and one of them was a shedding dog, and he was white. and so you look at him the wrong way and just a cloud of fur would come off of him but since he passed away it's probably been a couple years now um we got rid of our Roomba because that was that was DJ Roomba's main job was going around and soaking up uh white dog hair and so don't have that anymore All right. We're done. We can save this other show. Wow, we have had some awesome ends to segments on this show. I'm a professional. I'm out of here. Clackity-clack. Yeah. Don't talk back.

He used to work at Stan Winston's, uh, creature shop and did some painting on, uh, some of the Jurassic park dinosaurs, the original Jurassic park one, did some amazing stuff.

1:07:16Brian Schulmeister:He was a fantastic guy and he will be missed by a lot of people. Just one of those guys where you walk in the room and you're like, this guy's really cool. I don't know why, but he's really cool. So he had a rough couple of years, but bone cancer got him yesterday. So very, very sad.
