Speaker 1 (00:00):
This ship deeper in the den with dangerous day. You know,
we could all use a little extra time every day
to knock out tasks we've been putting off for Maybe
we just want to use it to do something fun.
According to a survey, forty eight percent of us say
we need more fun in our lives. Eighty nine percent
believe that having fun, especially with others, leads to better relationships.

(00:21):
But twelve percent can't even remember the last time they
had a full free day to have fun. What's the problem?
Who has the time? Average person says they want seventeen
hours per week to devote to having fun. That's another
two point four hours per day. So what kind of
fun are we looking for? Americans said they like watching
TV at seventy seven percent, see family are and friends

(00:42):
at sixty nine percent, dine out fifty nine percent, outdoor
activities at fifty percent, personal hobbies at forty nine, playing
games at forty eight. You know, the last three feel
a little more impactful to me. Using fun to do
something different. I guess I like having fun an extra
two point four hours per day, I'll take it deeper

(01:03):
in the two. You know, some people don't know what
to do with their hands in a photo. One option
make the piece sign or a V hand gesture your
indexed and middle fingers popular in the crouseyse days and
for scammers. According to your new report, cell phones are
able to catch such high resolution images as possible your
fingerprints could be extracted from them. For this to work,

(01:24):
you need to be pointing your fingers outward obviously like
a double V or some gang signs. I guess your
fingers facing inwards towards your chest would be safe before
they get two paranoid three things. This would be a
significant operation to pull off the advanced AI powered software,
but it is worth mentioning because AI technology is moving

(01:45):
so fast. Things that were advanced a year ago are
pretty basic now, mostly for close up selfies with your
fingers in the forefront like your face, basically just a
few feet arm stretched to the camera. Now, non selfie
photos if you're standing at a distance or giving somebody
bunniers in a group photo, probably gonna be fine, although again,
who knows where AI will be as tech barrels towards us.

(02:08):
Even with all the tools and software at the third disposal,
identity thieves would probably need multiple images to be able
to reconstruct your prints, and it would also need to
have good lighting and focus and also need to do
something with these prints, But be extra careful always blurr
your fingertips before posting them online, at least for now.
I know it seems a little bit overboard, but that's
the direction AI is heading. So do you give people

(02:32):
a backwards bunny ears when you're taking the picture? And
what happens if they can't see your pointer finger to
