Speaker 1: Stand Lynch in Taco. Good morning, it is time to
Speaker 1: check it out. Latest science and technology news on JRR
Speaker 1: brought you by the Orlando Science Center.
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: And right after this segment, we're going to have a
Speaker 3: pair of Orlando Science Center tickets to give somebody. We'll
Speaker 3: give you the number at the end of the segment.
Speaker 3: But a great place to take the kids over the summer.
Speaker 3: Adults have a blast out there air conditioned. H yeah, exactly. Well,
Speaker 3: you get to experience all the innovative science and action.
Speaker 1: Man, they have it all out there. Speaking of innovations,
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot on display in just over an
Speaker 1: hour as the official grand opening to the public for
Speaker 1: Epic Universe. One of the good things about having all
Speaker 1: of these great parks right here in central Florida is
Speaker 1: when as they're built and maintained and operated, it brings
Speaker 1: a lot of local folks into the mix in the
Speaker 1: work process. And one of those companies that did a
Speaker 1: lot of the behind the scenes stuff with the immersive
Speaker 1: experiences you'll be experiencing at the new park based right
Speaker 1: here in central Florida in Winter Garden, Burkett Engineering, see
Speaker 1: them getting a profile a lot for the last forty years,
Speaker 1: they've been a big part of not just this latest park,
Speaker 1: but all the parks, all the parks, so you know,
Speaker 1: you got a lot of people working there and they've
Speaker 1: expanded globally with They can't really go into the specifics
Speaker 1: of what they've done there, but it's a lot of
Speaker 1: their handiwork is going to be, you know, on display
Speaker 1: today as they helped Universal bring to life the vision
Speaker 1: for their latest park. So if you're on your way
Speaker 1: out there today or you're already there, you know, standing
Speaker 1: in line, enjoy yourself.
Speaker 4: You're part of a historic day. You're in Central Florida. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I told you earlier. They threw a pre like a
Speaker 4: pre day out of the park for a bunch of
Speaker 4: people that were involved in help them build different things,
Speaker 4: contractors and our listeners.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're part of it.
Speaker 1: Johnny Ivy, the former Apple executive who designed the iPhone,
Speaker 1: has started a new company, and open Ai is buying
Speaker 1: Ivy's startup and a deal that could bring artificial intelligence
Speaker 1: to a brand new range of devices, moving beyond just screens.
Speaker 1: The deal will bring he and his team of about
Speaker 1: fifty five employees, including engineers and scientists, to open Ai will.
Speaker 1: They will be taking over creative and design control. Ivy,
Speaker 1: who left Apple in twenty nineteen, co founded the io
Speaker 1: system with three others about a year ago. The deal
Speaker 1: is worth around six point five billion dollars, including a
Speaker 1: twenty three percent stake in open Ai. Just this moving
Speaker 1: it to speed to sound here. So the guy goes,
Speaker 1: you know, from doing his thing with Apple and part
Speaker 1: of the design to the iPhone to bringing this new
Speaker 1: startup of his getting scooped up immediately by open Ai.
Speaker 1: And now he gets to turn around and cash in
Speaker 1: and still run the whole deal.
Speaker 3: That is Intand what do we get in the radio
Speaker 3: for because we're too dumb to do things like this?
Speaker 2: Yes that's true.
Speaker 1: Look, this isn't This is literally not rocket science. Oh no,
Speaker 1: so we told you a while back that by now
Speaker 1: pay later service. Klarna had recently expanded to include food delivery.
Speaker 1: You can finance your food delivery.
Speaker 3: It's a turning out to be exactly what we thought
Speaker 3: the biggest nightmare for people they.
Speaker 1: Burned, debt losses swelling at Klarna especially. Is it coincidence
Speaker 1: that it lines up with the expansion to cover food
Speaker 1: delivery stuff? I don't know, but the consumer credit losses
Speaker 1: through klarna is buy now pay later service swelled by
Speaker 1: seventeen percent just in the first quarter, now hitting one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six million dollars. People are using these
Speaker 1: buy now later borrows on an increasingly frequent basis.
Speaker 3: Ed Oh, this is this careful, This is careful. It's
Speaker 3: already blowing up in people's faces. They can't pay off
Speaker 3: their things. And we know money's tight, but it is
Speaker 3: for us. It's for everybody except for that guy who
Speaker 3: invented the apple stuff.
Speaker 1: Right right, right, Taco, you're getting your wish. And we've
Speaker 1: talked about this plenty. It's now going to be reality.
Speaker 1: In May of next year, twenty twenty six, a food pill.
Speaker 1: The Enhanced Games will take place in Las Vegas. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: The Olympic style sporting event hopes to infuse unprecedented levels
Speaker 1: of science, money, and performance enhancing drugs into a formal competition.
Speaker 1: Athletes will be allowed, if not outrting courage, to use
Speaker 1: peds and we're talking steroids, testosterone and growth hormones that
Speaker 1: are legal to possess but banned in sports. The hope
Speaker 1: is to remove the stigma surrounding the use of the
Speaker 1: substance and promote safer ways to push the limits of
Speaker 1: human performance. This is awesome.
Speaker 2: Get them out there and as juiced up as they
Speaker 2: can be.
Speaker 3: I'm talking, we're going back through the days of the coliseum.
Speaker 1: Pat, if you're a newer to the show, Taco for
Speaker 1: a long time has advocated over a decade, Yes, that
Speaker 1: all performance enhancing substances should be permitted in professional sports,
Speaker 1: just well to have peak performance and peak entertainment for
Speaker 1: the fans. Yeah, which I'm not quite sure I agree
Speaker 1: with him on that, but I respect your position.
Speaker 2: I understand the heart attack action.
Speaker 3: That's you know, stigma that's attached to but I do
Speaker 3: want to point out it's.
Speaker 1: Stigmatized heart attack victims.
Speaker 3: If you are I think I started talking about this
Speaker 3: almost fifteen years ago. If every one of those athletes
Speaker 3: is juicing, ah, those sports are, don't. There's gonna be
Speaker 3: tackles in football where a helmet pops off with a
Speaker 3: head in.
Speaker 1: It the centerfield fence, and baseball is now eight hundred
Speaker 1: feet back.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Google is bringing its flagship language model to Chrome for
Speaker 1: Mac and Windows users. That would be Gemini, the company's
Speaker 1: AI generated browsing assistant known as Gemini will be available
Speaker 1: on Chrome so users can ask follow up questions while
Speaker 1: searching for websites, and future versions will be able to
Speaker 1: navigate the web and take other actions on behalf of
Speaker 1: the user. The announcement came during the Developer Conference where
Speaker 1: Google has rolled out updates to its artificial intelligence ambitions
Speaker 1: and Taco gets more and more scared every time I
Speaker 1: say AI or artificial intelligence.
Speaker 3: You can see my anxiety, can't you. Somebody texted in,
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is tech or they, but
Speaker 3: that the fringe festival's going on this weekend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's nice. This is this is flat out scary.
Speaker 1: Astronauts aboard China's space China has a space station too. Uh.
Speaker 1: They have discovered a previously unknown microbe that has also
Speaker 1: been occupying Low Earth orbit. It's also inside the Chinese
Speaker 1: space station. A group of scientists examined swabs from inside
Speaker 1: the space station and found the form of bacteria not
Speaker 1: known to inhabit Earth. No COVID. The microbe covid. The
Speaker 1: microbe is just pretty resilient, with the ability to cover
Speaker 1: itself in a biofilm that's like a protective shield. And
Speaker 1: now researchers are trying to figure out how to protect
Speaker 1: the health of the astronauts and keep the bacteria from
Speaker 1: making it to Earth. Get Get, Get those folks at
Speaker 1: wuhan on it. Yeah, it's all I'm thinking is batstew.
Speaker 1: We're all right back to it people. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: They need to just seal that thing up and blow
Speaker 1: it up. Do it? Yeah, blow it up. Done.
Speaker 3: Then if it multiplies like you know, gremlins when you
Speaker 3: put water on them, and then that's all.
Speaker 1: The United States, Surprise, Surprise, is the number one source
Speaker 1: of spam emails in the entire world. Be Proud, USA,
Speaker 1: Well done. The first mass produced flying car will go
Speaker 1: on sale early next year. The base model is eight
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. It's basically just a sports car with
Speaker 1: retractable wings, so not a hover car where you could,
Speaker 1: you know, just lift off out of traffic. You're still
Speaker 1: gonna need a runway and a pilot's license. It's a
Speaker 1: company in Slovakia called Klimb Vision. They say it's new
Speaker 1: air car will be reasonably priced at eight hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars and up to a million if you want to
Speaker 1: add upgrades.
Speaker 3: You know, I do back steroids and sports but I
Speaker 3: do not back hovering cars or space you know, cars
Speaker 3: that drive in the air.
Speaker 1: Because you're not down with the Jetsons lifestyle man.
Speaker 2: Come on, Pat, weird the cane and handle I four
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: With the holiday weekend coming up, record travel, of course,
Speaker 1: if you're traveling, safe travels, and also beware beware the
Speaker 1: You know, when you're stopping for gas and filling up
Speaker 1: and using your cards, be looking on the lookout for
Speaker 1: those skimmers. If something looks amiss at the gas pump,
Speaker 1: go inside and pay. There actually is a device called
Speaker 1: skim scan that is available. It's an electronic reader that
Speaker 1: detects skimmers at gasp on. The state agencies use these.
Speaker 1: How much are they They're they're kind of pricey.
Speaker 3: I think every convenience store should have a skim scan
Speaker 3: or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: They're five hundred bucks on Amazon. There are some competitors
Speaker 1: that are less than that. But the skim scan technology
Speaker 1: does work. It literally that you just inserted into the
Speaker 1: card reader and it gives you a greener a red light.
Speaker 3: That should be the gas people's job, not that, not
Speaker 3: the actual workers, but the owners of convenience stores, you know,
Speaker 3: hire those armed guards with machine guns for Bob World
Speaker 3: order and good skim scanners.
Speaker 1: And also there's this Airbnb's anti party technology in effect
Speaker 1: for the Memorial Day weekend. If you're thinking of booking
Speaker 1: a last minute Airbnb for Memorial Day weekend to throw
Speaker 1: a rager, you might encounter some interference. Airbnb announced the
Speaker 1: anti party technology will be in effect for Memorial Day
Speaker 1: also the fourth of July weekend. This isn't brand new,
Speaker 1: it's the fourth year they've done it, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean they're listening in to see if you're too loud.
Speaker 1: It's just an algorithm that looks for red flags when
Speaker 1: you're booking a place. It looks at a range of factors,
Speaker 1: including property type, how long you're staying in, how far
Speaker 1: away you live, and whether the booking is last minute
Speaker 1: or not. Some of those spread flags that might indicate hey,
Speaker 1: rather than have a party here, let's book somebody else's
Speaker 1: joint and wreck it so you might run into that.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that they have that just for the homeowner's sake.
Speaker 1: Let's check it out. How about some Orlando Science Center tickets.
Speaker 2: They're just a phone.
Speaker 3: Call of the number to call four oh seven nine
Speaker 3: one six one oh one one.
Speaker 1: Was randomly picked one of the lines that's lightening up here.
Speaker 1: If that's you, we'll send you to the Science Center
