WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:04.719 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 2 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:05.559 six forty. 3 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.080 Right here on KFI on a Taco Tuesday, July thirtieth. 4 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.080 Some of the stories we are covering a. 5 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:14.800 Couple of weeks ago, actually a week ago, we talked 6 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.320 about the Sane River where the mayor jumped in to 7 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.679 prove that it is safe for the triathlon, which is 8 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:21.239 part of it. 9 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:25.559 Is swimming in the Seine. Well, the bacteria. 10 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:27.760 Count is gotten high enough where they're saying that really 11 00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.399 isn't safe for the triathlon. Well, when they do start it, 12 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.520 it'll be the quad athlon because they've added a diarrhea 13 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.560 event right after the swim, and the Mexican team is 14 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:44.280 the overriding favorite to win the gold on that one. Now, 15 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.079 let me talk about the fair plan. What is the 16 00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:49.920 fair plan. Well, if you have home insurance and you 17 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.399 can't get insurance, which happened to me at the Persian Palace, 18 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.200 no insurance, no home insurance, thank you, We're done. And 19 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:01.119 that's happening more and more because there are so many 20 00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:04.280 wildfire areas and now it's all over the state, and 21 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.200 so insurance companies just say no, thank you, and they've 22 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.799 gotten out of California. Well, you go to the Fair 23 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.719 Plan if you can't get insurance, and the Fair Plan 24 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.799 you pay a lot of money and all. 25 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:16.920 You get is fire insurance. 26 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.560 You don't get comprehensive there's no liability insurance, there is 27 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.319 no damage coverage. 28 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.680 It's only fire now. 29 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.680 It used to be that fire and this is part 30 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.680 of fire insurance, a part of fire damage. When you 31 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.480 have a little bit of fire and they're able to 32 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.359 put it out, for example, your house is saved and 33 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.680 only a small portion is burnt, Well, let me tell 34 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.120 you the whole house is ruined because of the smoke damage. 35 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.760 I mean, I have seen houses that had just a 36 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.879 kitchen fire and the whole house they had to go 37 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.599 down to the studs because the smoke went into the walls, 38 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:01.000 into the dry wall. And so what happened is smoke 39 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:02.439 damage is part of it. Well, let me tell you 40 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.239 there was a there was a change and since twenty seventeen, 41 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.919 the Fair Plan began limiting coverage for this standard policy 42 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:16.199 that paid for smoke damage only if it was detectable 43 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.360 to the unaided eye or the nose of an average person. 44 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.000 It used to be all you had is to test 45 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:23.400 for it. 46 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.360 Requirement and this made us it was hit a certain level, 47 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.680 but boom, you were covered. Oh no, they changed that 48 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.039 to where an average person must be able to swell it. 49 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:34.199 What the hell does that mean? 50 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.360 The unaided eye and an average person you know what 51 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:38.719 that means. 52 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.520 They can deny like crazy, and they have denied those 53 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:42.599 claims like crazy. 54 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:48.319 Well, lawsuit City, that's what's going on right now, class 55 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.879 action lawsuit saying we were denied coverage. 56 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:54.319 We want to change that. 57 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.159 Now that part isn't asking for money, They just want 58 00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.879 the change the plaintiffs on that one, the part that 59 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.400 asking for money. Same attorney, by the way, he was 60 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:08.719 representing a thousand homeowners, saying that they were denied coverage 61 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.439 for smoke damage under this new definition because you know what, 62 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:14.479 the average person. 63 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:15.599 Wouldn't be able to smell it. 64 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:24.159 Huh, the average eye sight wouldn't be able to ascertain 65 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:25.599 that there was smoke damage. 66 00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.680 Please. And so the lawsuit continues. 67 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:36.080 The insurance department, California Insurance Department is saying, yeah, we 68 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.319 allow that to happen. But what they're doing is helping 69 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.680 the plaintiffs, saying, the reason we allowed that change is 70 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:48.039 because we were given information by the major insurers, and 71 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.919 it was false and misleading information, and effectively, I don't 72 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:53.120 know where. 73 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.080 These insurance companies are going to go. 74 00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:00.039 Incidentally, the insurance the Plan, the Fair Plan, is a 75 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.120 group of insurance companies. They all have to put into 76 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.560 this fund. It's mandatory if you want to do business, 77 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.439 if they want to do business in California, and it 78 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.360 guarantees that anybody who has a home or a piece 79 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:17.680 of property will be covered if all other insurance policies 80 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.399 or applications are denied or your insurance is exhausted. 81 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.040 And that's what happened to me. I couldn't find insurance. 82 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:24.680 I was there. 83 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.639 My homeowner's policy expired November eleventh, as a matter of fact, 84 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.879 I will never forget that. And I couldn't find a 85 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.079 policy for two and a half weeks, and my insurance 86 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.279 agent finally found me a policy, and it was for 87 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:47.600 less coverage and twice the price, one hundred percent more money, 88 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.560 to the point where it became prohibitive. Now I don't 89 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.879 do that. I don't pay that anymore because I got 90 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.839 rid of the Persian Palace. But the people that bought 91 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.519 the Persian Palace lovely family, by the way, and the 92 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.480 good news is they are blind, they are not cited, 93 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:12.279 and they have all kinds of liabilities or handicaps, so 94 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.240 they're not able to really see what the house was like. 95 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.480 But the point is they're paying a lot more. They've 96 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.319 got nailed on the taxes, they're getting nailed on insurance. 97 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.480 It's tough to own a home today. So at least 98 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.439 under the California Fair Plan, it's going to go back 99 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.240 to if you think you have smoke damage, you just. 100 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.720 Call the lab. That's it. 101 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.000 Call the lab. Yep, it's reached that certain level of 102 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.680 smoke damage or the smell. I don't know how they 103 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.680 do that, but labs do that. And so at least 104 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.240 the insurance companies aren't given the power to determine what 105 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.800 is what the average person's smell is. 106 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:53.040 I don't have smell. I have virtually no smell. 107 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.759 Why is that, Well, because four years of cocaine every 108 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.040 day kind of wipes out the cilia in the nostrils. 109 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:07.920 Am I an average person? Yeah, I can't smell anything. 110 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:08.759 If they bring me. 111 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.519 Up to testify, couldn't smell the thing. I don't know 112 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.199 what the average person is. And that is the problem, 113 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.319 and the insurance commit sure, and let that fly. Let 114 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.720 that fly in twenty seventeen, and they're saying that's because 115 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.319 you lied to the insurance companies. And let me tell you, 116 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.959 insurance companies are your friend. 117 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.720 Right. Fish are not food. Insurance companies are not food. 118 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.319 Do I have that right? But they are your friends? 119 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:37.079 All right? Enough of that. 120 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.800 I don't know how that worked, by the way, all right, 121 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.879 talking about the Olympics, you know what did the city 122 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:48.680 get back when it hosts the Olympics. You go to Paris, 123 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.800 you got a new village over one hundred and twenty 124 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:58.279 eight acres, you got several dozen new apartment blocks, and 125 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.560 they've changed a lot. This isn't a really miserable neighborhood 126 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.759 Saint Denis, and they're going to redo and they have 127 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.920 redone the entire neighborhood. And so it's kind of a 128 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.879 neat way to do this, and of course that costs 129 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.079 of fortune. Cities just spend more money than you could 130 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.439 ever ever imagine. 131 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.399 Now here's what cities tend to do. 132 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.600 It's gotten so expensive to host Olympics over the past 133 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.959 few years, more and more money that it's almost impossible 134 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.399 for a city, a country not to go just spend 135 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:37.639 more just god awful money. You can imagine, for example, Beijing, 136 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:41.399 they say spent sixty billion dollars. And if you look 137 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.240 at the stadium in Beijing where opening ceremonies took place, 138 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:46.040 it is. 139 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.800 Now being rented out for bar Mitzlas. 140 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.800 There is nothing happening in there, and that happens to 141 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.639 a lot of stadium You go to Greece, for example Athens, 142 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.759 where they built all kinds of venues that. 143 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:06.000 The Greeks don't use. They just don't use them, and 144 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.639 so they either stand empty and if it's buildings, they 145 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:09.720 convert them. 146 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:15.439 Now the Olympic villages now are at least configured so 147 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:21.720 housing can be created out of the Olympic village, and 148 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.319 so that one at least makes sense. But the cities 149 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:29.360 are going crazy and people are now thinking. 150 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.519 Cities are now thinking. 151 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.679 We covered this before, but we're going to see again 152 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.759 how much Paris has paid. 153 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.720 For these Olympics, how much it costs. 154 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.440 There have only been two Olympics that actually have made 155 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:47.960 money or even broken even, just two Olympic Games nineteen 156 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.519 thirty two, nineteen. 157 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.519 Eighty four, Los Angeles. 158 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.360 And we'll see what happens in twenty twenty eight when 159 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.759 the Summer Olympics return to La And here's what the 160 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:02.320 cities do. 161 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.919 It costs so much money. Is they build infrastructure. 162 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.679 If you were around in nineteen eighty four, the airport 163 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.639 was completely reconstructed. It went from what was considered the 164 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:21.639 worst airport, worst major international airport in the world, to 165 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:27.360 the worst international airport in the world. After having spent 166 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.879 in those days hundreds of billions of dollars, we're doing 167 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.879 it again. We're building out the airport one more time 168 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.399 for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. In this case it 169 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:43.519 is the it's in the billions of dollars, adding a 170 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:48.519 new terminal, new parking, the people mover because La is well, 171 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.399 it's because of the geography. It's almost impossible to deal with. 172 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.799 People will do anything not to fly out of La. 173 00:09:55.799 --> 00:10:00.679 So the only major city that actually was able to 174 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:04.519 deal with infrastructure and make it work nineteen eighty two. 175 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:09.600 Nineteen ninety two Olympics in Barcelona, however, and out of 176 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:15.080 the Olympics came this wonderful architecture and Barcelona was changed over. 177 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.080 But they were gonna do it anyway, you know, let 178 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:19.720 me let me in New York. 179 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:26.159 Okay, the twenty twelve Summer Olympics that New York bid 180 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.679 for lost out to London. 181 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.600 And you've got. 182 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.879 Experts in this studying the Olympics that say New York 183 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.519 won the competition by losing the games because they had prepared. 184 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.279 The city had prepared all kinds. 185 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.639 Of sites, mapped out sites they could be converted into 186 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:48.120 parks and housing and office towers after the Olympics. 187 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:54.960 So New York loses out and they build it anyway. 188 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:59.320 And that's usually the case that if you in these 189 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:03.480 cities who vy for it and don't make it, usually 190 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.399 build the infrastructure anyway. And it's without the cost of 191 00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:11.759 the Olympics, which are astronomical now just a security because 192 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.720 of what happens and the assassination attempt and the terrorist 193 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:21.120 attacks starting in nineteen sixty eight, by the way, with 194 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.879 the Munich Olympics, when the Israeli athletes were murdered by 195 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:28.600 then the PLO which is now the Palestinian Authority, yes 196 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.799 or air Fat headed that wonderful organization, terrorist organization that 197 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.159 then morphed into what is recognized and he became a 198 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.559 hero even though he was an out now terrorist. So 199 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.679 the Olympics modern Olympics have gotten more and more expensive. 200 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.600 You have Munich in nineteen seventy two, the doping scandals, 201 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.480 Pick your Game, boycotts Moscow in nineteen eighty LA and 202 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:57.039 nineteen eighty four the bombing in Atlanta, and it's just 203 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:02.799 not the same anymore. It's fun to watch, and the 204 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:07.480 International Olympic Committee is getting zillions of dollars in broadcast 205 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.639 rights and they sell off sponsorship. Peter Uberov actually started 206 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.360 that with the La Olympics. That's why in nineteen eighty 207 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.759 four the Olympics actually made money a couple hundred million dollars. 208 00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:22.639 So is Paris going to lose their shirt? Yeah, they're 209 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.639 going to lose their berets on this. And we'll see 210 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.360 what happens at the end of this. And back to security, 211 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:34.679 what is it forty five thousand cops just from the 212 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:39.039 police force and the various agencies around Paris. That doesn't 213 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.679 count other security coming in from other countries that are there. 214 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.000 So we'll see what happens. 215 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.879 By the way, I missed the nineteen nineteen eighty four 216 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.480 Olympics because I went to Australia because I knew how 217 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.919 crowded it was going to be. This place was a 218 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:04.840 ghost town. There was no traffic. I wish I had stayed. 219 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.600 I'm a big fan of the Olympics, and if I 220 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.840 can possibly afford it, I'm going to try to do 221 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:14.639 opening games and twenty twenty eight. How amy how much 222 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.200 you think the ticket's going to be for opening ceremonies, 223 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:19.360 No idea. 224 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.360 I think a couple of thousand bucks, I would guess. 225 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.720 Matter of fact, if they're selling ticket now, they're not 226 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.679 selling tickets yet for opening ceremonies. 227 00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:29.279 If so, I'm sorry. 228 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:31.840 I'll be there at Sofi Stadium. 229 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.879 Is it so fine? Partial? I believe? 230 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.440 Yeah, Well, if you can get me in somehow, you're 231 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.320 you're my new best friend. 232 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:46.399 Tickets for opening ceremonies. Ooh, highest ticket prices twenty nine 233 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.360 hundred dollars. That's for this, for this Olympics. 234 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.039 Oh you know what, I'll buy them now, twenty nine 235 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:54.399 hundred dollars in the best seats. 236 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.600 No, for this Olympics. The twenty twenty four Olympics in Paris, 237 00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:58.039 they're say. 238 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.840 And that was three hundred, twenty five thousand people lining 239 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.720 the banks of the river sing wow. 240 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.000 I can't imagine what Sofi is going to be like 241 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:07.360 all right. 242 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:12.879 Mike Dubuski, ABC News technology expert and reporter is with 243 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:14.000 us for Tech Tuesday. 244 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.159 Good morning, Mike, Good morning. How are you? I am? Okay, 245 00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:19.279 you're gonna watch it this morning, or at least watch 246 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:19.840 the rerun. 247 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.960 Well, I gotta, you know, chat with you guys first, 248 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:24.360 but yeah, I might be able to catch a little 249 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:24.799 bit going on. 250 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:26.879 I can't wait to see her. 251 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.840 I mean, she is nothing short of incredible to watch 252 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:34.000 this woman, Yeah for sure. Okay, let's talk about open 253 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:38.559 Aiy's search engine. It is her, it is here, but 254 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:43.840 it's different than AI chat box. I mean, there are 255 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.919 how many different kinds of AI art there and who 256 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.240 is doing it? And what information are they based on? 257 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.360 And how do they operate? 258 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.399 Okay, a lot of questions there, Yeah, a lot of questions. 259 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.879 But I mean I think that's reasonable because this is 260 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.799 suddenly a technology that seems to be every where, and 261 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.600 there's a lot of different versions of it out there. 262 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.480 So what we say when we talk about AI or 263 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:10.200 artificial intelligence in twenty twenty four, generally what we're talking 264 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.399 about is generative artificial intelligence, meaning this new type of 265 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:19.639 technology that is essentially a very advanced version of autocorrect, 266 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.759 which you might be able to you know, access on 267 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.840 your phone where you know this the computer is able 268 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.840 to sort of predict the next word in the sentence 269 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:31.600 based on context clues. These large language models, these you 270 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.919 know chat GPT, open ai, you know some of what 271 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.480 Google is doing. They're essentially very advanced versions of that, 272 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.360 where instead of predicting the next word, they can predict 273 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.519 whole sentences and paragraphs of information. That's what generative artificial 274 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.519 intelligence is. And one of the leading companies in this 275 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:51.960 industry is open Ai. They make chat GPT, which is 276 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:55.360 a very advanced chatbot, and in recent days they showed 277 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.799 off a new product called search GPT. This is purported 278 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:03.519 to be an AI search engine, a competitor to Google. 279 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.360 Where you go to this service, you type in a 280 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:09.639 question and instead of presenting you with a page of 281 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.919 blue links like Google Search would, it presents you with 282 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:18.519 an AI generated block of text that presumably answers your questions. 283 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:21.840 This is a technology that has real time access to 284 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.440 the Internet, meaning you can ask it about current events 285 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.960 and local happenings and sports scores and all that type 286 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.440 of thing, and it will cite its sources in its 287 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.360 response to you, meaning, as you're reading through the answer, 288 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:39.080 you'll see little citations to ABC News or KFI or 289 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:39.759 what have you. 290 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.440 Yeah, Mike, I would think since one is simply a 291 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:47.759 predictive model the other one, and it does not connect 292 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.519 to the Internet in real time, the other one does, 293 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:54.600 wouldn't you think a combination of those two would be 294 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:55.840 the magic bullet here? 295 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:56.279 Yeah. 296 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.559 So the rumor here with open ai is that eventually 297 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.279 search GPT is going to be integrated into chat GPT, 298 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.079 and that these two things will just become one big 299 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.400 technology that open Ai charges a monthly subscription for or 300 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:13.359 in some way integrates advertising into, and that will be 301 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:17.039 their sort of killer app, their major revenue stream. As 302 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.000 of right now, they're keeping them separate. Again, this is 303 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.119 a pretty new technology that open ai is putting out 304 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.279 their search GPT, and they're limiting who can access it. 305 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.880 Only ten thousand people have access to this program at launch. 306 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:34.720 I think that is to cut down on potentially embarrassing 307 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.960 moments that open ai could find itself mired in if 308 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.480 this thing gets stuff wrong, which we've seen it do 309 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.640 in the past. Google has a competitor to this service. 310 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:46.400 It's called Ai Overviews. You may have encountered this in 311 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:50.720 your googling recently, where above your traditional search results there's 312 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:54.559 this AI generated block of text that answers your question. Well, 313 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.519 a few months ago, that service was telling people to 314 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:01.359 put glue on pizza and to eat and do all 315 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:05.599 manner of absurd things. And that is a hallucination in 316 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.240 the AI world. That's what we call a mistake and 317 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.440 you know, misinformation that's being thrown out there. Obviously, in 318 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:14.960 Google's case, it was kind of silly, but you can 319 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.319 imagine the potential for that to be used for harm 320 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:20.400 or going wrong, and that's a challenge that OpenAI itself 321 00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:24.279 is facing. In the promo video for search GPT, it 322 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:26.839 made a mistake, there was a hallucination there. So it's 323 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.640 something that continues to dog the industry. 324 00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:31.799 All right, So let me ask about AI and before 325 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:35.440 I get into the glue on the pizza story, and 326 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:40.240 that is I understand that there is nothing that's being 327 00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:43.559 manufactured out there that doesn't have a chip or some 328 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:48.720 technology where AI is not being used, and it's. 329 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:50.160 Happening very very quickly. 330 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:55.920 Explain what for example, my refrigerator at home right it 331 00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:57.240 has all kinds of chips in it. 332 00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.000 What is it going to do with a that does 333 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:01.640 not do now. 334 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.480 I mean, that's a great question. I think that you're 335 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:09.960 absolutely right at identifying that AI has proliferated across a 336 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.960 whole variety of different industries, from the automotive sector to 337 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.960 you know, the smart home sector, as you reference to 338 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:21.079 even innocuous things like your Amazon Alexa device is now 339 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:24.920 going to be integrated with AI. I think it's important 340 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.839 to kind of put this in context. AI, you know, 341 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.920 as a term has been around for decades at this point. 342 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.880 It's really just meant to, you know, describe a computer 343 00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:39.519 that in some way thinks but is not necessarily intelligent. 344 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:42.400 It's sort of a very broad term, and I think 345 00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:45.839 that a number of companies out there, marketing agencies in particular, 346 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.519 like to affix the AI label two things when in 347 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:53.200 fact they're not actually describing particularly advanced to AI. It 348 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:55.640 does have some utility in the sense that, you know, 349 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:59.400 in the Amazon Alexa example, talking to your voice assistant 350 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:01.440 can be kind of frustrating. It's you have to use 351 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:04.079 canned words and phrases, and then the thing doesn't hear you, 352 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:06.000 and then you have to repeat yourself, and et cetera. 353 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:06.519 Et cetera. 354 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.079 The idea behind using generative AI in an application like 355 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:13.200 that is that it will make it a lot easier 356 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.519 to talk to because these systems can replicate human language 357 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:20.559 pretty effectively. This will be a much more natural conversation 358 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.400 that you're having, and you can get it to do 359 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.039 more things by using you know, less words and that 360 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.519 type of thing. So yeah, I think you're absolutely right 361 00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:30.279 that it's all around what it will do in the 362 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.599 context of your refrigerator. Not totally sure, though. It's also 363 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.279 worth mentioning that, you know, refrigerators have cropped up in 364 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:39.799 a number of AI demonstrations of late, where you know, 365 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.400 Google showed off an example of people taking pictures of 366 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:46.920 their you know, refrigerator and then asking an artificial intelligence 367 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.279 to make recipes, you know, based on what the system 368 00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:52.799 sees in your refrigerator. So you know, you can see 369 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.039 some applications there. But yeah, it's all over the place, 370 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.359 and sometimes it describes a very advanced technology. Sometimes it 371 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:01.200 really does not, you know. 372 00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:07.440 For example, let's go back decades ago when IBM created Watson, 373 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:13.000 that computer that played chess, and it beat Kasparov, the 374 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:17.359 world's number one rated chess player, and it was able 375 00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:17.799 to do that. 376 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:22.759 It was learning quote chess as it was playing. 377 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:27.519 If it has access the same computer having access to 378 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:33.079 the Internet, which means every book ever written about chess, 379 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:38.799 every article ever written about chess, basically human knowledge about chess, 380 00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:40.279 then you're talking about. 381 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:41.640 An unbeatable product. 382 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.559 And if you extrapolate that you're talking about at some 383 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:47.880 point it's never going to be wrong. I want you 384 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.400 to comment on that, and let's go to how it's 385 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:52.559 wrong with glue on pizza. 386 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.279 Well, I think the perfect extrapulation is exactly what IBM 387 00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.440 did with Watson next, which was put it on Jeopardy, right. 388 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:03.200 You know, the next level of like expertise, isn't playing 389 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.440 one specific game, it's playing trivia where you have to 390 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:09.799 be able to access information from a variety of different topics. 391 00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:12.920 It won like nobody else had won before. It beat 392 00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:16.599 some of the major champions of Jeopardy, including Ken Jennings. 393 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:20.079 So IBM, you know, has seen a lot of success 394 00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:23.759 with Watson. However, you know, I don't want to overstate 395 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:27.960 what these systems can do. They are consistently wrong about 396 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:31.720 a number of things. As we mentioned with search GPT, 397 00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:35.160 which again is open AI's latest product, a search engine 398 00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:39.599 competitor in its own promotional video it got something wrong, right. 399 00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:42.279 You know, this is something that has continued to dog 400 00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:46.480 the industry, and the reason is the training data that 401 00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:50.160
