Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tech into the latest in tech and how it affects
you and your world. This is tech Talk Tuesday on
Wood Radios, West Michigan Live Trent, Can I be here
with us Affordable Ice Store, Likeness, can drive and Standdell
and the folks at Grand River Tech is always Trent,
Always a pleasure. Thank you for being You're trying to
make sense of some of the wildest stories in tech,

(00:20):
and we got some big ones. And speaking of tariff
talk and China, the Chinese deal, they just said another
ninety days they're going to pause that. So we've got
that baked into our conversation and a couple other things
to deal with chips and Nvidian all of that. So
thank you for stopping in with us today. We appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, good morning, Justin.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
So let's break this down. We're getting the stories first
and foremost. Nvidia and AMD have agreed to give the
US Treasury fifteen percent of revenue from all AI chip
sales to China. Fifteen percent of revenue. That's a big chunk.
Billions could be coming in to the United States. Why

(01:02):
is this such a big deal.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well, Justin, this is the first time on any kind
of a large scale where the US government has actually
had some kind of a revenue grab, a tariff, a
form where there's not even really a proper name for it. Basically,
whatever the sales of Nvidian AMD make in chips to China,
their US government is getting fifteen percent. So I guess

(01:26):
it's sort of a tariff. I guess is the closest
thing we could call it. And really the reason for
it is simple. These chips can be used for everyday
things that people need in China. They can also be
used for very nefarious things. They can be used for
AI military tech. Some of the most advanced military weapons
can use these chips to do very scary things. And

(01:49):
so what this is is the government saying, hey, we
want to have some kind of a control on the
sale of the sensitive, very high tech devices being sold
to China. I hope that they take a portion of
that money and use it solely for the express purpose
of monitoring, of making sure they don't use those chips
for things that are directly attacking us. And we'll see

(02:11):
where that money goes. This is so new, we don't
have that data yet, but it's a very interesting first
and it could be billions of dollars of revenue to
the government.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah. Meanwhile, Trump has said, by the way, I think
he was asked about this yesterday during that big press
conference on DC, that these chips they're talking about, these
are chips that China already has in some ways. Well,
this is this is this is another big story, one

(02:43):
that it ties in directly with tech and the fight. Obviously,
you know, as we continue, by the way, the Chinese
export fees will bring in billions, the story from CNBC billions.
What does that do? As you mentioned, where does the
money go and what does it all add up to.
We're going to get We're going to get some of that.
But speaking of which record sales, they say EV sales

(03:06):
are soaring as Trump has gotten rid of that seventy
five hundred dollars tax credit you just started forward coming
out with this new deal. They want to come out
with some another push for pickup trucks. I just don't
see the market supporting this. But Trump's getting rid of
that tax credit, and that's why it sounds like there's
been such a rise and a rush for folks to
go out and buy these things before the thing runs out.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, justin there's the tax credit. But there's also remember
dealers have a ton of control over pricing on the
auto manufacturer as well. If they have high inventory levels
and things are not moving, they can provide incredible incentives,
use it as tax right offs, and all sorts of
other things to move inventory. So I don't think that's
necessarily a good sign. It looks like a discounted invernentory

(03:50):
dump because there's a lot of people in the market.
But we'll see the rest of the year what the
numbers look like.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
On all of this. By the way, we'll keep an
eye on it. Our good friend Trenk, we're trying to
do a lightning round today, so I think we're doing
pretty good, Trent. Here's AI Jesus, just a story to
make you think about the things that you do and
say with AI and chatbots. But there are a number
of these Ai Jesus chatpots. In other words, these companies

(04:16):
have produced these chatbots that pretend to sort of be Jesus,
and in some ways they flat out said that they are.
But it is praying, not pr a why, but pr
e why. Some make the case on Christians and you
ought to be aware what you're doing when you're digging

(04:37):
into this. I'm not saying that AI can't be a
resource and maybe assist you, especially if you're looking at
like Bible study and things like that. But don't forget.
You can go straight to the source. You don't have
to ask a robot for forgiveness.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, justin is a sad reality of the AI world
that we live in where if you look at the
amount of searches people do with A on a daily
basis and the percentage of time, it's totally wrong. And
that's for things that are everyday things that don't affect
the most personal, important thing of spiritual matters. And that's
where when people are relying on an AI computer model

(05:17):
for spiritual advice a relationship with with their God so
to speak, that's terrible. That's that's that's awful. And if
you're a Christian you look at the Bible, it has
specific versus that say about impersonators to Christ. So, yeah,
that's very sad.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Tred Can it be affordable? Live store like Michigan Drive
in Standdale are last, but certainly not least because we
just flew right through them today. It's an end of
an era. I didn't even know that this was still happening.
But it turns out AOL, you know the title sound

(05:56):
the most annoying sound of the world, AOL is finally
ditching its dial up service. And I had no idea
this was was even a thing, Trent. It's it's just funny.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
To me, justin. People don't realize it, but the phone
line systems that used to run our internet grid are
still widely used in many parts of our country. And
if you have a copper phone line, like the old
fashioned phone lines, you can actually still a dial up
and there's still some people using this. I was surprised

(06:30):
that AOL actually paid for service. It's been here since
I've heard that sound. Justin, just don't pick up the
phone while I'm on the Internet.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
I remember that too. Man, oh gosh, what a what
a world we live in, And that's really kind of
where it all started. Holy moly, Trent. Can it be
always a always a pleasure, my friend. And of course
