Scarlett Johansson vs OpenAI, CoPilot PC, And Sonos Headphones
It’s really great for programming. I’m at least 10x more productive in that regard.
Economy’s so bad they’re even firing the robots.
AI was like "and then!"
Woah. There are Five Guys with drive throughs?
It will continually improve, don't think the AI revolution is over.
I think we've had the biggest wow moments we're going to get with this generation of AI. It's going to take new invention past just improvement for more wow moments. - Kevin
Give it a few more years.
Even if they get the robots working, a good chunk of Americans cant even speak English anyway, so theres no hope for these bots at McDonald's regardless i think....
To answer the question asked at the beginning of the video….the problem this solves for companies like McDonalds is the problem of having to pay employees. The most morally unacceptable action for a capitalist is paying an employee for their labor.
me: orders big mac combo me again, checking order: pulls out big mac with 1 large stone
Stopped watching at the dad joke, that was *bad*
Apologies ❤
They kept getting the orders right.
The real reason is the AI drive thru workers started demanding a livable wage
They’re already automating the order taking process as-is, they’re constantly pushing the mobile app and mobile orders so that people will type their orders into their own phone and then send those orders to the fast food location so that they can be made and delivered to the customer with no cashier needed. When enough people are using the app the employment position of designated cashier/order taker will be removed and any lingering order taking/cashiering needs will simply be lumped into the presenter’s (person at the food window who give you your order) responsibilities. Same way the front counter cashier has already been lumped into the front counter order assembly position because there are now multiple automated kiosks for people to type their own orders into without the need of a designated employee on that front counter cashiering position at all times
On the rare occasions I go to McDonalds I always use the drive through so I can ask for fresh fries (which I'll get about 80% of the time). Ordering through a kiosk or app inevitably results in lukewarm soggy fries which Ioath. If you can't even get hot crisp fries what even is the point?
@@langdons2848 as an insider I’d like to let you know the secret code for enforcing that the fries be fresh: “cook to order” The McDonald’s operating system (at least in the US State I’m in) has various grill options that the order taker can select from and one of those options is ‘cook to order’ which if their order display system is functional should mark on their order screen that the fries for that order must be dropped fresh. Can’t remember if the request also shows up on the printed receipt too or not but it definitely shows up on all their relevant screens if their system is up to date
@@langdons2848 ok I think yt ate my prior comment so ima say it simpler. The secret password for hot fries is “cook to order” cuz we’ve got a button on the computer we press to tell the kitchen to drop the fries fresh for that person specifically. Our location usually has hot fries already though so it mostly just comes up for people who need their fries fresh enough to make it to their destination without them going bad
Real purpose of this was always to threaten employees ad keep wages low.
The weird thing I remember hearing from some AI researchers is that it’s the simple jobs that probably won’t be taken by AI. You’d be surprised how much trouble AI has with something is simplest checking to make sure a package isn’t open before putting it on a conveyor belt. It’s a very simple task that any human with a halfway functioning brain can do, but an AI simply can’t for some reason. It’s people who have jobs like being paralegals who need to be worried because AI is very good at sifting through large amounts of information very quickly to look for patterns.
Well the thing is is you can get disbarred if you are found to be using AI in legal filings so actually that won't happen either. Anything that requires higher level judgement you should not use AI for because it doesn't know a good result from a bad result. It just knows a likely result.
@@angelainamarie9656 oh really. Well, so much for AI being the future.
@@jordanwhite8718 it never was. This kind of technology has an application in sorting for a good result. The fact that it can appear to do things in intelligent human can do but is only actually completing their patterns dazzles folks but it ultimately has no real use because it's prone to giving up BS answers. In reality what's going on in the background is a self-sorting database that serves up the most likely and or desired result. This is coming from the largest possible set of inputs many of which include mediocre sentences mediocre art, mediocre music etc. And of course if it's a conversational AI it's going to include hostile and wrong answers because you have to go to some place like the internet to get that much conversation. And who's the loudest people on the internet. I think the technology is ultimately flawed. I've worked in information technology for 30 years this is not a killer app it does not do anything actually better than people can. This looks like VR. it's fun and cute and can do things in a limited way that make it act and look human like but it is only ever going to have limited real-world applications and starting very soon now will be one of those things that surfaces from time to time and still is no great big deal and then disappears again.
I think that it's going to fuck up complex jobs too thing is the average user does not have direct interaction with them so it's going to take longer to come to light
@@acacacacacacaccaca7666 I don't think it's going to be around that long. Despite the narcissistic dazzling that the human race has undergone watching AI act like us it is not better than us at any single thing.
At least they didnt use underpaid people from India.
Those would have worked though lol
They are just going to pass it on to the now limited staff
Isn't that called "Deleted"? or "Terminated"? I mean, It was an "Installation", NOT a hiring. EULAS may apply.... not an actual contract after all. is there a law for how this has to be processed?
No, it won't do an order system well. And it will cost more money to run and maintain than just paying employees.
@@ImAmirus As a software engineer I find it unsurprising.
@@ImAmirus First, I'm an American software developer who has lived in Europe for several decades. Second, I've debugged software written by EEs. So yes, they can code. But code well? Like in a maintainable, secure, extensible way? Not so much. See also, data scientists who are the people coding the "AI" systems. Lastly, the geographic location of a software engineer doesn't really indicate quality. I've worked with good software engineers from all over the world.
@@ImAmirus ah. You're a fanboy. My apologies for wasting our time.
not necessarily
@@KevinLyda Just because you're a software developer doesn't mean you work with AI.
👀 AI layoffs have started! 😱
The EU wants a level playing field if Apple and Microsoft pull out other companies can fill that gap, its a big market and a new more cross compatible competitor with emerge
Yeah, I’m not ok with the Recall feature to begin with. The fact that everything I do is being tracked from a music playlist to my passwords and bank account info is a real problem and concern especially when any of that information can be obtained from hacking. It just puts the user in a very bad position.
They recalled a Recall 🤣.
Good lord, you think fully spying on your children/employees would be fine as long as that data isn't sent to microsoft? Absolutely gross.
My personal take is, sure! Should parents have the option of seeing everything their child does on a device, 100%. Could an employer have the option to see everything an employee does on the compaines device, 100% My line is when its done without the persons knowledge/consent. - Kevin
@@thenotnullpodcast I don't understand how you can bash this feature while holding this mindset. Go helicopter parent somebody else. Holy shit. I am extremely glad I don't work for you.
Hold on - I'm not saying I would, I'm saying that you should be able to. Also, if you work for any kind of large company, they are watching what you do on their device. It's just some don't tell you. - Kevin
@@thenotnullpodcast No, they should not be able to. Are you seriously suggesting that because some shit companies spy on their employees that the rest of us should have spying tools also? Fantastic logic. How about "what they do is bad and nobody should do it"? Nobody needs this. Period. And beyond that, it's damaging. Talk about adversarial relationship, why not just literally fight your employees at lunch in the parking lot? Holy shit, what a bad take.
@@thenotnullpodcast "Other people are doing it why can't we do it?!" Fucking children. No we should absolutely not be able to. Nobody needs this. Period.
The moment this gets released is the moment I switch to linux. Absolute morons working for microsoft
Do you think we will be able to opt out? - Kevin
It'd be awesome if there was 4 different Halo controllers. 1 that looks like the one Kevin has for the master chief, 1 for the covenant, one for the forerunners, & 1 for the flood.
I would probably buy them all - Kevin
I love UA-cam Music. I think it's great. I don't think there's much of a difference in the UI between it & Spotify. In fact I listen to this podcast from UA-cam Music
haha, I play the video and see my Thread! Thanks for discussing this.
Came here for A.I but only staying for Sarah’s laugh 😂 😅
I'd stick to my space q45 😂
Trash 🚮
Sorry, but I’m not even sure why everyone is talking about WIFI capabilities on a headphone. If anyone understands the basics of WIFI, Wifi cannot be implemented on headphone quite that easily. 1. Because it needs lot more power. 2. To a certain level, It’s radiation health hazard consider headphones are used around your head. Bluetooth has its limitations and probably can’t archive what you archive with a wifi network. Maybe in the future tech will allow this.
I think its just because thats how the rest of the system works, but your probably right, maybe its not possible/sensible - Kevin
I think the possibility to connect two headphones to a soundbar is coming since on the Sonos site you can buy two ace(s) in a bundle.
That would be awesome!
@@thenotnullpodcast what I would love is an « adaptive » mode for the NC, like on the AirPods Pro (and probably on the future AirPods Max 2).
First time I watched you guys, I loved it!
Thank you so much Joao - much appreciate you watching. Thanks! - Kevin
I'm sitting here with my Surface and the dock has died. I can no longer use my external screens
😥
6:50 good point on the Sky voice being the best one. Also many news outlets seem to misunderstand how long this voice has been around
That docker looks awesome! I'm definitely going to have to get me one of those.
Thank you for the recommendation on the Geometry dish towels Sarah! Loved them! Plan to try the hand towels next.
I'm SO glad you love them!!! I'm totally obsessed!
That's not Scarlett. That's just a ghost in the shell.
I see what you did there ☝😉
Interesting podcast. Thank you! Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you! We appreciate the sub ❤
This was one day ago, and they are still behind. Sky has been gone for days.
Careful with that thumbnail Scar Jo might sue you too!
The audacity of a celebrity to say “Hey, you’re getting more popular and that voice reminds me of my voice, so I’m going to sue you” That Sky voice has been one of the voice options since mid 2023
It has and since day one it's sounded like her. I don't think it's about being more popular. You have a right to defend your IP (likeness).
Return to Sky. The other voices are almost not even worth listening to.
Agreed - I'm pretty sure they put more effort into Sky than the others. It was hands down the best voice on there. We talked about this on the next episode coming out on Thursday.
is she on crack? why is she smiling like this?
Won't be long before guys start sending Sky some pick-dics. The possibilities are endless.
If 'Plus' was around $8/month I'd be all over it. $20/month is a bit too steep.
It's pointless right now. You don't get any of those new features anyway, and 4o is worse at literally everything except for being able to see and generate pictures, and even with plus, I get like 5 prompts w/ the Gpt4 that is the better coder (for instance) before they cut me off. This 4o update was all marketing. All scripted responses from the AI. And a MAJOR downgrade for any paid user. 4o is free anyway. I'm done with it.
It does seem expensive when you compare to what you get from the free version. We have accounts but Bobby and I are thinking of switching to a corporate or just a copilot account - Kevin
@@jonathanmellette8541You're full of it. Absolutely BS. I hate to defend massive corporations, but you are absolutely lying about how fast you hit the limit.

Yall the built in mechanism to seek out proper innovation but many sectors don't. America has went through phases grandfathering alot of baggage the rest of the world didn't participate in. Most industrialized after the transitor age began. You can build an avalanche that would fall on our heads if we by pass cut n dry programs waiting on built-in Nepotism before Sectors decide to innovate properly ,it can create some serious streamlining hangovers. Monday morning chains on a factory door isn't new but if skyscrapers do it that's almost revolutionary . Colleges didn't utilize internet over the past decades and it's likley a major streamlining coming in this market. We are removing large gathering labor demands in urbanization while also empowering in the middle of nowhere America to operate business that only major city's could support over the past century. Tech is already making it deal with challenges it's never dealt with.. Being a retired machinest tool & die maker I truly think big challenges are building for sectors that think they're perks and benefits can lobby themselves out of streamlining. Can you imagine one day where the vast majority can be quickly educated and trained on universal operating systems that makes whatever product and service all but irrelevant ? Ability to teach or train to just get younger people into the workforce. Getting markets under one roof in one domain. Almost a future where the Majority are machinest = x,y,z manmade time hierarchy knowledge of Good and evil equations "what tool do you need for which application. " You can always allow the elder more senor pursuits in specialized knowledge avenues. Its Always going to be some academic lifers tho.. changing demand for ontology has already made phylosphy jobs start to retake the needs in recruiting army of mathematicians that America couldn't find enough of. It really makes our 1900s structuralism less prepared than the older esoterica American infrastructure would've been from a residential & labor perspective.
