Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That'd be greetings and welcome. How are I hope you're good?
Seven past eight Marcus till twelve. Funny one thing. As
soon as I turned the microphone on, I pull one
headphone off one air? What's that for? Done it for
years and never quite sure. It must be good to
get some ambient sound and some sound in the air. Anyway,
just getting more zen about the way I do things.

(00:32):
How I oh, By the way, I always like to
start the show with it. By the way, did anyone
watch the TV one TVNS in news tonight and could
they tell me who had the highest temperature today? Because
I wouldn't be surprised if it's down south, very very hot.
Was in Verka? Will the top of the country. Doesn't
happen Offen. It happens about every five years, but I
believe it's probably happened today. If you did see the temperature,

(00:56):
let me know, phone it through if you can. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine
two de text. By the way, too, i'd beat out
to a Turkish I'd been in town. I been to
a Turkish place for a bite. Two week before I
came to work and there was a guy sitting the
door in a suit with a airpiece with a cord.
So either he's security for politicians or the uber drivers

(01:20):
are getting more dressed up. He looked Cagy, though, look really, Cagy. Yeah,
it looked like something out of like a Kevin Costa
type role. Anyway, would have been hot in a suit,
because hot as hell down here. But if you saw
the temperature, I don't know. I can't even get a screen.
Can you get a screenshot of the temperature, Dan, I
don't know how we do that. I could probably do
that from one News, could I what do I do?
You got to one news and replay or something TV on.

(01:42):
I'm at that stage where the world's getting slightly too complicated.
Flip in Alexander, what was in vert cargo? Alexander was
thirty one degrees? Yeah, but in ver cargo was twenty eight. Wow,
Auckland twenty seven not even in the running. So is
that the actual picture of the weather, Dan, that's actual

(02:04):
weather map? I want to see. That's what because well
you can hear people clap when it happened in macagul
are that excited Dan sending that to me now? So yes,
very hot, very hot. Not often I can become a
weather boar. By the way, a lot of rain coming,
like a lot of rain, like fifteen hours, you'll be
aware of this. I wouldn't be surprised if there's not

(02:26):
weather alerts. Dan suspected someone got a prediction right today?
Did they?

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Did you say something in our preachat about a prediction?
Someone predicted such and such. Oh, someone predicted there'd be
a streaker during the World Cup. There was a streaker
during the Super Bowl, And what a poor effort that was.
I mean, I'm not a big fan of streaking, but
despite being not a fan of streaking, I'm less of

(02:51):
a fan of someone that would streak with their pants
on with some really lame business across their chest and
back when that's just perthetic. But good on the NFL
player that tackled him. Yes, nothing's quite as good as
our mate from the Aussie Sam Kerr, actually giving the

(03:12):
guy the shod. That was fantastic. Anyway, It's just I
say some things once in a while to appease the
sports crowd. So yes, very very hot. Wait, oh there
we Go twenty eight in the Cargo thirty one in
Alexandra twenty eight, in Parmeston North twenty and Yanga Nui
twenty eight and Taranaka youw Plymouth that was the top

(03:34):
g he's still working for them on that guy that
does the weather with the hands and no, he was
still around TV and the good on him, Dad. I
think it's the guy's name. People love him. So there
we go. Now the other thing, and I like to
tell you what I think is interesting, but this is interesting. Well,
I found this really interesting, and I'm just not quite
sure I've done with a story. The Arateri, the Intern

(03:58):
and ferry right that was owned by the government via
their Intero islander that fairy was sold for scrat It's
now called the Vaga. And you will know this because
I'm surprised.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I thought I would have seen it on my holidays,
but I didn't because it was dark when we went
through Nelson. But that ship is at anchor in Tasman
Bay off the coast of Nelson and has been like
that for fifty days. And there's real concerns for the
crew who have been on that ship for almost two months.
So That sounds gasty, doesn't it. They're stuck there on

(04:33):
a failing old ship before they take it back to
India for it to be scrapped. We've seen those videos
that drive up to see and they take everybody. I
don't know how much they would have sold it for.
Would it be a million dollars, would it be one
hundred thousand? Hard to know and an undignified end to
the ship. So these people are on three hundred foty
dollars a month and they're stuck on their ship until

(04:53):
they can get permission to go into Indian waters. So
I don't know why no politicians are kicking up about that.
That sounds cruel. So you might be wondering about that.
You might be wondering what that ship's there for. So, yeah,
it's not a blot on the INTERNA. It's their responsiblity.
They've brought the ship. They need to get it out
of here. But that's bad, isn't it That they're just
stuck there on a ship it's waiting for consent to

(05:17):
enter India. You think we had such a good relationship
with Mody. This government would get that sorted out and
it'd be hungry doorri no idea. How many crew there
would be, There'd be an engineer, there'd be two engineers.
Would there be five? Hard to predict. So yes, that's
the Interron fairy, the old one. That's the big one too,
the oratary that's off Nelson Tasman Bay just waiting to go.

(05:40):
But that's not the topic for tonight. The topic for tonight,
and it's a different topic tonight, and it's one that
I think it could get interesting response. And I've thought
about that this much today and this is about my
obsession with changing technology. I want to talk about retail tonight. Also,
could someone please, could someone? Could you I more than

(06:03):
one people persons? Could the list? Please tell me Ring
and tell me how they have used AI today. It's growing,
It's grown for every quicktque. I just want to know
from you how you are using it. If you've used
AI today, Ring, and let me know what you've used
it for, what form that was about. If you've done that,

(06:24):
I'm very interested to know about that. So, if you've
used AI in your work or in your home life,
what did you use it for? The more the marea,
There'll be room for you all eight hundred eighty ten
eighty and nine to nine to detext. So what did
you use AI for today? And if you've got something
to say that, I'd love to hear from you, because

(06:46):
you will have used it. I don't know that I have.
But if you've used AI today, artificial intelligence, what did
you use it for? And the reason I say that
I think it's worth discussing. AI is becoming extremely good
at predicting things. In America. Every year they have competitions
for experts to predict things like which movie will gross
the most? And a year ago AI wasn't even the picture.

(07:09):
Now it's winning the prediction competitions. I was thinking about
that using it with our predictions too. But AI has
suddenly got very, very good and it's everywhere. But I'm
just curious to know what you've used it for today.
If you've got an answer for that, Oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty nine nine to take sixteen pass
not eight. Ryan, it's Marcus, Good.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
Evening, MICUs.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
How are you doing good?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Ryan?

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Nice one? I use check GPT and co pilot and
I was just south for dinner with family today and
someone said, with check GPT, you just tell it to
give you a photo of what you look like. Keeps
on demanding something about you, But if you keep on going,
it'll give you a photo of what it thinks you
look like with all the information that you've set into
It's quite cool. It made me look a lot younger

(07:58):
and it got rid of my gray hair.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
So how does chat How does chat GPT know how
you look?

Speaker 6 (08:05):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (08:05):
I just went a questions that you put into it,
so it knows what you do, your behavior, just just
by the way that you search into it. So I
like skiing, so I'm kind of saying, we should I go?
What kind of restaurants should I go to? And it
just sort of fulfills itself on that. So it creates
an image of what it thinks you look like.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
That's not that Facebook meme thing that people are doing.
That's different from that, is it?

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Oh yeah, yeah totally. And I tried it on co pilot,
but co pilot's a little bit more restrictive, and I
asked for it to give me a cartoon, but I
felt that I was wasn't being very social at dinner,
so I sort of gave up at that point.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Well, good, thank you, ern, and thank you for being
worried about dinner and how you came across as well.
That's good Johnny, ats Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
Yeah, good a Hi Johnny.

Speaker 8 (08:52):
Hey cool, we'll give you a bit of a rundown.
So I mainly use gem and I on my phone.
It's like, I guess a bit of a widget on
it and you pay, you know, just do you pay
for it?

Speaker 9 (09:05):
Nah?

Speaker 8 (09:06):
It's connected to Google. Works kind of like a nap
on my phone, I guess, And so I use that
when I I guess, you know, think of things and
I want to like problem solve. For instance, looking to
get like a gazebo for the patio because we've got
like a townhouse and I was trying to figure out
which was the best one, I guess, so I can

(09:27):
get it to the market research for me based on
I guess reviews quality.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
I'd never thought of that.

Speaker 8 (09:36):
Yeah, Yes, there's a lot. There's a lot of things
you can do. Even took some pictures of the patio
and got it to show me what the product would
look like in it. Just made the images for me
to show me what it would look like as well,
whether it would match the clouding and such.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
So a whole blind project, which could be a couple
of hours if you try to work out which gazebo
would be good. That's gone and told you the best
one for your situation.

Speaker 8 (09:59):
Pretty much. I guess it's just helped me with, you know,
the buying decision, getting the right product, rather than talking
to a lot of different salespeople. Some people might hate
hearing this if they're working in their industry.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Were they smart enough to know that there they were
a year in a major.

Speaker 8 (10:18):
Center Wellington region, Lower Heart Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Were they smart enough to know that there are only
ones that are available in New Zealand and that you
could get to Lower Hut?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (10:28):
Yeah, Well, I mean I'll have a little I guess conversation,
give it a rundown, like you know, this is the
size of our patio, this is where I am. Obviously
I got it to make me a table, to tell
me what the wind ratings work, because obviously Wellington's pretty windy, right,
So you can't just go for any any your gazebo.
It's not gonna sorry pagol or I should say Pagola,
They're not going to you know, last in the wind.

(10:49):
That's pretty dangerous. So yeah, it told me to win ratings,
the pricing, what the customer reviews were like, everything really
And when you.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Say a widget that's like an app.

Speaker 10 (11:01):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 6 (11:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (11:03):
Essentially it's just an app, but you can have it
at the front of your home screen. You know the
weather in the time and all the rest of the copy.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
That great explanation, Johnny, Thank you AI. What did you
use it for? Today? Twenty past eight t twenty Sri
Lanka Oman about to start This is yea the World
Champs from Candy with a K. I'm asking you how
you've used AI today. I'm not talking artificial insemination, which
someone wrang about, but artificial intelligence, because I think people

(11:31):
find it quite interesting. People are probably under using it themselves,
and I'm curious to know what you have done to
use it. Phone that through if you can, Oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty someone said, Marcus, I got
AI to write this text. Hey, Marcus, honestly, I've officially
reached peak lazy thanks to AI. Today. I woke up
and realized that to write a polite email to my

(11:53):
landlord about a leaky tap. But I was too grumpy
to be civil, so I asked ai to write it
in the style of a seventeenth century Shakespearean tragedy. I
kid you not. It started with unless my kitchen floored
has become a great lake and ended with a dramatic
plea for mercy for my damp socks. I abst hit
seen before editing it the best part, the landlord replied

(12:15):
in iambic pentameter, saying it'd be over written soon. I
didn't just fix my tap. It turned my Tuesday into
a Renaissance fere. How do you think I went with Renaissance?
I think that was all right, wonn't it? Johanet's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 11 (12:32):
Okay there, Marx. I have been using co pilot quite
a bit since I upgraded my Excel to Office three
six five, because a co pilot came with it, and
it's been fantastic.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
And what did you use it for today.

Speaker 11 (12:54):
John, Well, today I've been writing, writing a visual basic macro,
or getting co pilot to write it. I detail the
specification and it writes it. When I review it and
I test it and I find that, oh god, you
got that wrong, You've got this wrong, and let it know,

(13:15):
and you go back and forth. It's pretty tedious. It's
very precise work. But eventually you come up with a
macro doing what you want.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
When you said a visual basic macro, I don't understand
what that is. Could you tell me a little bit more?

Speaker 11 (13:32):
Have you heard of well, have you heard of a spreadsheet?

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yes? Spread out?

Speaker 8 (13:36):
Yep.

Speaker 11 (13:37):
In a spreadsheet you can do all sorts of things,
all right, and you can automate what you're doing by
way of a macro. So you talk to co pilot
about what you want to do, and it comes up
with a macro, and you test it out and you
find out the bugs, and you sort it out, and
you go back and forth until you get it to

(13:59):
your satisfaction.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Is this like for countancy or something?

Speaker 11 (14:04):
That's what I am?

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Ah Ah, very good John, thank you reinteresting? Goodness, you
know how that cool could have gone?

Speaker 12 (14:14):
Well?

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Good age, I'm not gonna marcus. I'm an accountant, and
here's what I use it for, because I had no
I'm frankly googling what's I'm using AI to find out
what's macro? Goodness, There we go, got the end. There
in the end, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, be in touch.
If you want to. It's all about Ai. I just

(14:35):
wonder who's using it for gambling, because now it's topping
the world at predicting and even quite esoteric things like
which movie will win the most Oscars and stuff like that,
or how many songs for the next Taylor Swift album,
And it's beating all the other predictors here, which is

(14:59):
pretty extraordinary, like you're trying to pick the winner of
the Tour de France or how much the new Superman
movie will do in its opening weekend. I reckon too,
I reckon before long. Sports budding is going to be
a thing in the past because chet Ai is going
to be much better at it than anyone else. If
you thought about that. I don't know that's good or
a bad thing, but I think it's pretty interesting. Greig,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 13 (15:19):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus. How are you good?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Thank you? Greg?

Speaker 6 (15:24):
Hey.

Speaker 13 (15:25):
Look, I have a slightly different use to what most
people are probably doing. You probably don't know what a
raspberry pie is. A raspberry pie is a form of
single board computer. So I have a Raspberry pie running
a video camera software that's open source, and over the

(15:48):
top of that, I've overlaid a open source l l M,
which is what you call AI. That's called Olama three
point three. You can go and look that up. It's
actually released by Meta. There's hundreds of open source AI
or l LM models that you can run locally on
your computer. So what I use it for is I

(16:10):
use it on my three D printer to monitor the
print so that it will pick up when the print
goes wrong. But in the past, the print went wrong,
I just come back and there'd be a big ball
of plastics. Now I use this AI to to monitor
it and it will let me know it's still I'm
running it on a local computer, and I mean I'm

(16:32):
training it, but I'm also working on another.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
This is fest and Greg, what are you three D printing?

Speaker 14 (16:41):
Well?

Speaker 13 (16:41):
At the moment, I three D print all sorts of things,
three D print cookie cutters. At the moment, I've been
printing stencils for making signs.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
It's part of you. It's for your business or for
a hobby.

Speaker 13 (16:54):
I don't have a three D printed business. It's just
a hobby. You wow, But the same as the but.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
To have your your BlackBerry pie, you're doing more than one,
is that right? You're doing multiple of this.

Speaker 13 (17:06):
It's a raspberry Pie.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah, the computer.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Ye, but you're doing multiple copies of them, and you
need the quality control for that.

Speaker 13 (17:15):
No, no, no, no, no, no no no, it's not
nothing to do with multiple The AI agent will pick
up when the prince isn't printing properly. Okay, So for instance,
if there's a mistake, it will actually print that. Pick
that up, and it will notify me, and it'll stop
the prints and I can come along and correct it all. Whatever.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
How does it notify you?

Speaker 13 (17:35):
It just emails me. I just set up a server
and it just emails me.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Fascinating. Thank you so much for that, Greg, brilliant. Keep
it going AI in the life. How are you using AI?
We did this a year ago. We should have done
it a year ago because it's changed greatly. But gee,
aren't we a nation of early adopters? Look at people?
Look at their Look at there, Greg with his raspberry
pie forgot it right that time. Be in touch. If

(17:59):
you're to hold your horse, if your out hold, I'll
get to your students. I can. There's some good texts. Good
All texts are good pretty much, AI and all its
different names. I'm not talk about artificial insemination, although you
might be Yeah, I suppose most countries don't really know
about the other AI today. It's probably just because we're
agrarian by nature. Now, where is that?

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Oh wait, tantant eighty to eighty dB, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 12 (18:29):
I suppose without official insemination will be an app for
that one day there.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Will be two. Is not an apple already there probably is.

Speaker 12 (18:37):
I'm not that close to our facialmination to know. I'm
sort of fighting a rearguard fight against being given news
items that are AI generated, and it's getting harder and
harder to pick them. So on in this NBC they

(18:57):
have like Racil Meadow and she'll be giving a shot
camera and it is almost impossible to pick that it's
an avatar. You're looking at reading a script written by
somebody else. Wow, it is that good. And I have
a couple of little tricks to work out if you're
watching the real person.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Does does it not say on the screen?

Speaker 15 (19:21):
No?

Speaker 2 (19:22):
So they're using an avatar of her.

Speaker 12 (19:25):
Yes, and it is picture perfect.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
So what's the problem.

Speaker 12 (19:31):
It's got infections, and it's got mannerisms which tend to
repeat every thirty seconds or so, and you've got to
be looking for them. Well, it means that you don't
know that it's what Rachel in this case, and there's
lots of other people, you know. I'm just trying to
think of a couple of Tommy Heather. I can't. It

(19:53):
means that you don't know it's the real person giving
you real news. And there's two little things that I've
picked up that can give it away. One is it
and it wasn't just her that said it was about
three of them who went million two point seven dollars million.
Oh wow, Now I know that the real person with dollars.

(20:17):
But because we write it as well a dollar sign
two point five, then the million, the artificial intelligence hasn't
picked up how to rearrange that into the way we say.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
It, so it says dollars two point five million.

Speaker 12 (20:34):
Yeah, No, it goes two point five dollars million, yes,
or no, five five five dollars billion, and you go
wrong and wrong way round and you can pick it.
But there's an even more subtle one that I've picked
up on. They don't breathe, So even when you're doing

(20:58):
your bits the microphone, you have to take a breath,
and that's audible. These avatars, there is no you can
probably hear when I take a breath. The advertiser don't
take an audible breadth. And that is very very subtle.
But once you know to look for it, you can
go that's a fake.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Fastinating dB thanks so much for that. Twenty six away
from nine catches soon, twenty four away from nine. Hello
Bennett's Marcus, welcome, Well, thank you.

Speaker 16 (21:30):
I is AI to supplement my studies with YouTube and science.
I'm working on an elysium ion batterer in the moment,
and then I checked with with AI for any missing
gaps and it fills them in and then it leads
you on to the next thing you might do, such
as the solid state batteries. There's a whole range of toolesy.

(21:54):
It's like having an open university. It's star having a
university tutor.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
So a lot there being are you studying or are
you building?

Speaker 16 (22:00):
I'm doing both?

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Okay, what are you studying?

Speaker 16 (22:04):
Philis?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
And when you say studying, you mean if I did
study or your self taught through AI and the YouTube.

Speaker 16 (22:10):
Oh, I've got a physics degree in all that I've
done teaching. Yeah, I'll just continue it on in my
own studies. But it's a great subb YouTube. And then
the AI on Facebook Messenger provides a backup wonderful combination.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
So it provides it via text or via video.

Speaker 16 (22:30):
By text, and I guess it's a computer. But it
responds that it fills them things like I have God
for it. It repeats what you say, so it must
be a computer that work responds so rapidly and accurately.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
So when you say you're building a lithium iron battery.

Speaker 16 (22:49):
Well, studying it anyway.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Studying it, okay, okay.

Speaker 16 (22:54):
And then the next thing, of course, the handle's on
for something better, of course, and the AI gotten to
have a look at solid state batch, which is the
next thing in the process.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Brilliant. Okay, good Ben, Thank you didn't teacher, stop banging, Susan.
It's Marcus. Good evening. That's right.

Speaker 14 (23:16):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Is it weird? Were you as Susan?

Speaker 6 (23:19):
Pa?

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Is it weird? No?

Speaker 14 (23:21):
It's I kind of start walking thought.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I thought I could hear right. Welcome anyway, okay.

Speaker 14 (23:27):
Lovely Hey, Because I'm an older person and I've been
using check tv T for quite a while now, I
did an imprison of mine, so it might answer some questions.
But it's been helping me a lot recently. We're just
doing general maintenance appears on appliances and thinks that I
cast quite so and a maintenance books. So for example,

(23:50):
today I had to clean out the filter can filter
of my washing machine and I've done it several times before.
I couldn't budge the can filter. It was tight, and
so I thought, maybe I've done something wrong. So I mean,
just check TV t read FT and it said, well,
this is what it could be. It could be a

(24:11):
could be anyway. Two hours later, with various chats going forward,
you know, and with very red vine, finally got it.
And it actually gave some slightly different information to what's
actually in the handbook, which was interesting, and I thought
that helped as.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Well, like better better information than the instruction manual.

Speaker 14 (24:35):
Yeah, it's a lot more concise. And it said to me,
don't worry about these two parts aligning vertical. They don't
have to align vertically, and that's not in the manual
at all. So there is a little bit of extra
advice that goes there. Sometimes it really helps. And the

(24:56):
other thing was they had question about my tabooed or
about why it wasn't seen any notifications. I learned a
lot more about my Android phones itself, you know, through
a couple of hours of chants going back to and forwards,
and knew about So it's the same Sung Android issue
in the end, which I have to live with. But

(25:16):
I leant a lot more in deep stuff for me
as an older person. I'm not technology minded in things.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
So very helpful, Susan. With your washing machine, did you
type in the model and make yes?

Speaker 12 (25:30):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (25:30):
And I brought everything up.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
And is that the pump down on the bottom corner?
Is it a front loader or top loader?

Speaker 14 (25:36):
It's a front loader, so it's the pump down the
bottom corner with tight.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
And how did they suggest you get it open?

Speaker 14 (25:45):
By tilting it or by shocking it? Very cheaply said,
push it very gently on the cub itself.

Speaker 17 (25:55):
Wi.

Speaker 14 (25:55):
It was literally jabbed. And I've done it before, so
I've probably just done it incorrectly the second time and
it's just reached it. But they gave me a whole
load of chips.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Seat it in the manual and admission accomplished. You managed
to dislodge it two hours?

Speaker 14 (26:14):
Yes, But I'm proud of that.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
I'm proud of it. That must have been a great
feeling to get all that done, to type all that
and get the response and get at work. That's almost done.
That's as good as the world can be.

Speaker 8 (26:26):
I know.

Speaker 14 (26:26):
It was very constant, very constant conversation. So but yeah,
I'm not a technology mnd A person.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
But you keep saying that, Susan, you keep Susan, you
keep saying that. But to myself and everyone listening, I'm
sure you're coming across the sounding very technology minded because
you've done things that we haven't done.

Speaker 14 (26:46):
Oh that's good tonight.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, well you think when you're getting yeah, I think
you're probably at the forefront. But that's just me. What
is your What is the pump does? The pump block does?
Is that what happens?

Speaker 8 (26:57):
It does?

Speaker 14 (26:58):
But every every month, everyone should be checking part from me.
What should you see? Just make sure so it's still clean,
it's not going to get blocked. Mine what's block? But
it's just a monthly maintenance thing. It's recommended to do,
and I can normally do it. It's just this time
it's just right for me. If I couldn't do it,

(27:19):
so this thing I thought I was astrit position. Yea,
how I can do it. It's just a monthly mainteous
thing that should be done.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Brilliant. I've loved it, Suason, thank you so much, free
genius with your time to seventy to nine, fifteen to
nine pro shure it's Marcus. Welcome, good evening, Hi, Prashan.

Speaker 18 (27:37):
Hey, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 7 (27:38):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Thank you?

Speaker 18 (27:40):
Yeah good. The one thing I want to share is
I actually run a product development studio here in Auckland
and we specialize in building AI stuff. So one of
the more interesting use cases we've currently done is built
a tool that allows AI to watch an entire game
of sport. So if we think of an eighty minute

(28:01):
rugby game or a ninety minute soccer game, and it
can identify, you know, all a highlight event that took
place and then actually automatically clip up a highlights reel.

Speaker 13 (28:12):
So we've got a.

Speaker 18 (28:14):
Club clubs using that, and it's just a very interesting
use case of AI that that actually understands the video
like a human does.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
So how would it work out what's a highlight?

Speaker 18 (28:26):
So if we take the example of play a soccer match,
the AI is smart enough to understand soccer, so it
would know what is a goal, what's a corner cake,
what's the penalty, what's a yellow red card, et cetera,
et cetera. So it watches the entire game, it listens
to any commentary, and then it will determine, hey, these
are the interesting points over the interesting events that took place,

(28:50):
and based on those timestamps during the game, clip up
a highlights reel.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
So it's not it's not just finding out when the
broadcaster replays, but because that's it's it's doing it by
actually watching it and taking its own cues exactly.

Speaker 18 (29:07):
It's it's a concept that's called multimodal ai. So essentially
it's it's doing a few different things. It's watching the video,
it's listening to commentary, and then it's using some of
its game awareness to sort of put it all together,
similar to what you know your or I might do
if you're watching a game.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Is it accessing other commentary about the game, going to
text that, is it going through the internet to see
to see people's posting on Twitter and exciting? Is it
getting that stuff as well?

Speaker 18 (29:38):
A great point. At the moment, No, at the moment,
it does all its determination just based on that video.
But those are the the additional data points we're looking
at implementing, because then it could you know, it could
take into a kind of real time sentiment of audience
and fans and then sort of feed that into its
system and.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
They'd be a huge market. I mean every TV network
would want that. Everyone would want that, wouldn't they that?
I mean, that's that's that would be a huge market
for that.

Speaker 19 (30:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Absolutely.

Speaker 18 (30:09):
I think AI type tools like this have has kind
of been around in the broadcasting world. You know, a
big budget world could could have the sort of tool available.
I think where it's really helping out is more at
the grassroots level. We think of parents or school students
that might want to support their team but don't have

(30:29):
time to watch an eighty or ninety minute game replay.
It sort of helps them chop up a quick highlights
real or publish that to social media, you know, send
it an email to parents, and then they get to
sort of catch up and follow their favorite teams.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
How long has this company been around? Your worth just
within a year or two that they've been doing, because
it's I mean that's really how long I've been around
for isn't it.

Speaker 18 (30:53):
We'll Actually this particular product has just been around for
a couple of months. It's called gamecut dot AI so
G A M E c U T dot AI. But yes,
just keeping up with some of the additional developments that's
happening because AI. You know, we've had a lot of
calls talking about CHATGPT and using voice AI and large

(31:15):
language models. I think the space that's sort of untapped
but it's accelerating at the moment is video understanding, because
that traditionally would have taken a lot of computational power
a lot of time, but as we see in advancements
in AI, I think videos are really interesting space. That's
that's kicking off.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Brilliant. Thanks so much, PUSHU. Nice to hear from you.
Finding at firstat ten away from nine. If you've got
more comments on this eight hundred and eighty, I will
get to text, not just yet becking a bit, just
looking at some of the texts eight from nine that
people have put in about this, and if you want
to talk before the news, there's lines they're free. Like

(31:52):
to have some more comments about this, Marcus apparently twenty
seven and Bluff at ten past eight, I believe that
used Microsoft Copart today to tell me how much to
spend on my renovation before I overco capitalize on my
house considering location. Also asked if my risks expected to

(32:13):
return on selling it as better I've invested the deposit
money elsewhere. Took a few minutes for it to process
the answer and ask for further info. Because I'm a
former teacher and old, I use whole words and punctuation
for text messages. I always say please and thank you.
You've been really helpful. My partner's always reminding me I'm
committing with the machine and don't need to show gratitude.

(32:35):
I wait one hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine
to nine to text get in touch if you want
to come through. Yeah. Maybe putting the sports spedding industry
at risk will be what makes the government put in
some regulation around AI. I'd be impossible, wouldn't it. I've

(32:56):
driven from Levin through the desert road to Topol with
AI driving my TESTLA for me. No hands needed it
monitors to ensure my eyes are watching the road. My
hands are free to hold the wheel if need be.
Donald Famadu says Marcus. There are phrases creeping into our
vocabular which annoyed me one hundred percent. Going forward and learnings,
I don't think they are new, Donald, I think people
have been going on about those for about thirty years. Marcus.

(33:19):
The tool to assist in work AI is great. I
use it to assist me frequently with work. But it's
not horrified. But it is not. But is it not
horrifying that it knows how you look, or that people
are feeding at screens of their personal data and photos? Marcus.
I used chet GPT today to identify a poisoned fish
on Milford Beach, querying symptoms for stings and animals and content,

(33:42):
and then supplied pictures and listed symptoms to look for
what was the fish? I altered a photo. I did
a research on a search on infectious diseases and using
around nineteen hundred including statistics as a relative diet in
nineteen oh two of facial facial ersipolis ersipolis, facial era sypolis,

(34:08):
former cellulitis, high fever, facial swelling, something to gets so
infection through the skin wouldn't trouble you these days, I
wouldn't imagine I use chet GPT to prepare a workshop.
It planned the agenda, how it should be facilitated, the
team exercise to run. Then it provided the presentation content
for the workshop. Cut my thinking time down significantly. I

(34:32):
used AI to read a chart of bitcoin that I
sent to customers. Not a good day for bitcoin. I
work on commissions. I have to make PDFs from an
Excel spreadsheet, then split the pages and name them. It's
a tedious task. I get chet GPT to do in
twenty seconds. I told them what to do months ago.
Now they're a member, I just give it the Excel

(34:52):
sheet each month instead of wasting my time. Marcus use
it every day, sending invoices and quotes, trading visiness, sending
info for commercial and domestic customers works well. Might use
it to assist with job applications in a resume. There
we go, that's the latest for it. We just have
a quickly look at the latest weather updates. If there's

(35:13):
going to be the tempest happens tomorrow. Nope, nope, nope,
not seeing anything. I'm seeing the late breaking use the
held now dumps's all just real estate stories. But they
are looking at a weather bomb. But they're going to
could have affect the coast to coast. We're going coast
to coast to fifteen hour tropical downpour. That's Friday. That's

(35:33):
the tempest. If you want to start the next hour
with a chat, that's the plans. Stand. Here's a nice email,
Hi Marcus. I used AI to help me buy a car.
I knew what I wanted, but I got chet gptless
questions to ask and what to watch out for when
test driving. It answered my question. Ab Our service panels
often declined after advice, and at my age and time,

(35:55):
it was not cost effective. As an old woman with
no one ready to advise me, I feel it invaluable
in helping me order through my ideas. I felt so
confident when I finally bought the character last Carl's to
be special. Chet gpity was such your help. Next week,
I'm going to get it to make a schedule for
food premp for lunch I am having with friends. I
love It never rolls my eyes at my dumb question.

(36:17):
I bought a rab Greetings and welcome, eight past nine.
How are you what's happening? Yeah, we are talking about chat.
We're talking about how AI changed your day today. What
did you use AI? For today. If you've got anything
to say about that, that's the plan for now. It
won't be the topics all night, but that's while we

(36:38):
are talking about now. If you have breaking news where
you are, there's something else you are feel duty bound
to talk about, feel free to come through to These
topics aren't exclusive. There's something else you want to chew on,
that's fair enough. Get in touch if you want to.
I'll try and keep you up to date with what's
going on around the world. But we are talking about
AI having very I don't use it much, but then

(36:59):
again I didn't do much. It was a scorpion fish. Wow,
someone's told me. The run has already been changed for
the coast to coast into night's briefing and anticipation of
the weather. So there will be people at where does
that start, Kumata. They'll be getting ready for the race

(37:20):
must always be the first weekend, second week into February Marcus.
Twenty years from now, schools will be playing back talks
like tonight to educate the youth about how AI started
and how people reacted to it. What's happening now is
bigger than the launch of the Internet or man on
the Moon, game changing stuff and the making for good

(37:41):
and for bad. Well, it is fascinating. It's fast moving.
The New World car park in Levin was thirty two
degrees eleven am and thirty three at four pm. We
have to get a recording thermometer for my garden. Very
hot and drive Peter, Wow, Marcus. Where does AI get
all its information from? And using it? As many are now?

(38:04):
We are still being its teachers, which is its computer
brain is huge? You understand how it's been said that
with the speed it works, that I can see becoming
far more intelligent man, and that worries be considerably oh,
with good reason. And it's getting all the information from
the Internet, from all texts that there is, gets it
all together, and that's what it does, So that's where

(38:27):
it's getting it all from. I am an accounting student
with dyslexia. This is not me talking. This is a text.
My accessibility team approved grammarly to help with writing, but
I still penalized for our use and found the assignment.
When I asked what ues instead? I was told you
need to learn how to write. AA is accessibility not cheating?

(38:49):
Keep up the fight. I'm on your side, Marcus is
all this a little bit scary. Should I be quietly
worried about what AI is doing? Well, think what happened
when the motor car came along? Was that scary? It
could kill you. What you want to be worried about
is programmable armed drones. They could just type an AI

(39:11):
is an image of this person, find them and kill them,
and they could all get together and they go around
the world looking at people and finding the one to kill.
I'm a big fan of kill switches for robots. Someone says,
congratulations to the government for taxing business or tech. Congregience
is the government. They're texting business to death. AI's improved

(39:35):
my day by helping me plan a side hustle, turning
one hundred dollars into ten thousand, sort out tool quotes
for a work grunt, get advice on Karra prayers, and
even figure out what to cook for dinner. What's your
side hustle? Hello, Jerry, this is Marcus.

Speaker 20 (39:48):
Welcome, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 19 (39:51):
How are you good?

Speaker 21 (39:52):
Thank you good?

Speaker 20 (39:54):
It's not ecouena or anything.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
No, but real polite you asking. It's delightful.

Speaker 6 (40:01):
That's good.

Speaker 20 (40:01):
Well, you know you gotta hear.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Properly, exactly and Gerry, are you doing yourself the service
because you're coming across as the best version of you.

Speaker 20 (40:11):
Oh thank you, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
And if we can hear you, what you're going to
say is more interesting. Isn't it good on you?

Speaker 20 (40:17):
Ao Is. I was actually totally against it at first
because I'm like, oh, it's kind of like thumb down
the human race and blah blah blah blah blah. But
because I'm all about learning and you know, taking in
and but I'll tell you what, as a tool, like,

(40:38):
it's fantastic because sometimes you just want to do those
things so you can't be bothered, you know, going through
their hard graft and you know, trial and area just
want to get it done. And that's what it's grate for.
And you learn along the way because it gives you
options of things too, Like, for instance, it's been working
on a little Mark one escort and I've just been

(41:01):
asking that things. You know, oh, what's the best and
take the sixteen and you know that's a little topic.
Well you got this option, this option, this option, and
if you do this, you know, and it's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
And then how many, how many how many options are
there for their intake.

Speaker 20 (41:21):
Well, it depends on what carbration you want to run.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
It's a complicated scenario that you're that you're handing that
problem too.

Speaker 20 (41:31):
Yeah, it's the fort Escort science mate and so and
then I'm using them for them more and then I'm
a bit of a I love to dive down those
rabbit holes too. And no, no, no, I don't know
it was but of so the top they had on

(41:56):
YouTube this week, it was like a podcast and the
student was talking about the you know, the top five.
What do you all them like? The you know then
you know the Elon Musks, the who that met a wirdog? Yeah, yeah,
yeah and all and there's another three more and they

(42:20):
have all come out with a warning about you know,
AI is great, but it is, yeah that they are
all warning on it. And some interesting one of them
came up with was talking about quantum AI. Now they
talk about the you.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Know that soon Yeah, particle particle particle accelerator.

Speaker 20 (42:47):
That's the one. Now it's taken you know, the United Nations,
the research they have, you know, sixty odd years to
to do what they've done to date. When they're talking, well,
quantum AI could do what they've done and I that's
all too. You know what I mean, which is, you know,

(43:09):
as sets all very well, but can it also be
the accelerant of the demise of his human race as well?

Speaker 14 (43:19):
You know?

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (43:24):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (43:25):
So yes, yeah, absolutely yeah. Who knows what the future beholds, Jerry.
I'm going to move on, but thank you. Keep it going,
guys on the chat, the chat AI chet GPT AI.
I always call it different things, Marcus. I remember reading
the book If everyone builds It, Everyone dies, a fal
well researched book. And AI and how we have no
idea how AI thinks, and this makes them dangerous. We

(43:47):
have no idea how AI will behave When it gets
super intelligent, it will have an alien mind. My fiance
refers to you as her boyfriend, Marcus, and loves to
listen to you through her iPod through her AirPods at nighttime.
I therefore use chet GPT as my psychologist. Good on you.
The person driving the test is now texting hands free.

(44:09):
I use AI to compile stock take reports and sales
day to day. I use it to update and write
a new job description for new employee and position we
have created that won't last long, I take that job soon.
I use AI to help me with electronics. Sometimes I
need answer for a specific technical product. Will give me
just the info I need without me otherwise having to
wade through FuMB info that I need from endless other websites.

(44:33):
Get in touch, Hettel twelve sixteen past nine, Kendle midnight.
That's my job, that's my hobby. Hobby broadcaster Evon, Marcus
good evening, Oh.

Speaker 19 (44:42):
Hiving and Marcus. Look, I'm so sad.

Speaker 23 (44:45):
I think it's great that you're talking about AI and
listening to these younger ones, you know, talking about their experiences,
because it's right, Marcus's it's true, what's happening for whatever reason,
I would imagine a lot of people have put their
hits together before their departure, if you like, because no

(45:12):
one person could have come up with this.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Sorry, you
say a lot of people have put their head together
before their departure. I have no idea what that means.

Speaker 23 (45:23):
Oh, I mean you know a lot of people, you know,
the thoughts have died type of thing.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
No, I don't understand, don't understand. What are you saying?
I don't understand. You have to be clearer.

Speaker 23 (45:33):
Oh gosh, well AI didn't just happen, you know, it
didn't like it did. Just No, it didn't mark us
twenty years ago or whenever we started hearing about it.
We thought that was when it was established. But that's
not the case because all those algorithms that we know

(45:56):
about the histories and like that guy that just called
in about his cars of Austin's.

Speaker 24 (46:03):
Or whatever.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
For the escorts. Yeah, Yvon, I just think you're taking
the discussion in quite a strange, weird way and I
don't quite know where it's going.

Speaker 17 (46:15):
So that's an understanding that you and I can disagree on, then, Marcus,
because I can't sort of have my opinion and try
and say, well, everyone's gon to understand that.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
No, the question was I was saying, is how have
you used AI today? And you say that AI must
have been invented by people but put their head together
before they died. I can't work there, don't.

Speaker 23 (46:38):
I don't know why not just before they died, you know,
as they lived their lives.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Okay, I let it go, but maybe that we do
just disagree on that because I get freaked out sometimes
you freak me out Robert's Marcus. Welcome, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
Hi, Rob, I just wanted to tell you a little
bit of a story that happened this morning. We were
talking about licenses because I lost my license.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Would you lose it anymore?

Speaker 4 (47:08):
And I'm not the perfect person. I'm on home detention. Yes,
I've done a few bad things. And so I was
going to one of my counseling meetings and they had
a young lady from Switzerland to come and sit in on,

(47:29):
you know, being a counselor. And she said, so we
have to do your learners restricted and your full license
in New Zealand. And she says, over in Switzerland it's
very icy. And she says, as soon as you turn sixteen,

(47:51):
you're allowed to learn how to drive, and then you
only have to do a test. They put you on
a track and they deliberately make it icy and you
have to drive really fast, and they teach you how
to turn your car out of out of a like

(48:13):
drifting off the road.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (48:16):
Yeah. And and this was a young woman because I'm
thirty seven, you know, And.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Can I just can I just say, can I just
stop everything? Rob got on her, for got on her
for perking up during that where she was just your
observing but actually putting a bit of information into the
counseling session. Yeah, she's going to get she's going to
go far.

Speaker 4 (48:36):
I'll tell you what, those guys in Switzer will probably
be a lot better drivers than as because they literally
to get their driver's license over there, they have to turn,
They have to deliberately get put into a situation where
the car has gone out of control, and to get

(48:59):
their license they have to overcorrect, undercorrect and get their
car back on the road.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
How many people have died getting their license?

Speaker 4 (49:10):
Oh it's a test track. It's a test track. Yeah,
it's not on an actual road. But yeah, she said,
and you.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Could, you could what was your what was your counseling
session trying to uh achieve?

Speaker 4 (49:30):
That was like completely different. That was that was about
my sort of my my own problems. But she was
sitting in and we kind of asked, oh, wow, so
I think these guys and Sitzerlands could probably drive better
than as.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Yeah, be icy, be icy though where they probably have
powerful cars, would they?

Speaker 4 (49:53):
I don't think I don't think that matters.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
No, I'm just trying to make conversation.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but I thought there was a
there was wow, like they actually get put onto a
icy road and get taught how to make sure that
you can stay on the road without going down a
cliff kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
What do you got to do to get your license back?

Speaker 4 (50:19):
I've got to start from scratch, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've.

Speaker 25 (50:24):
Got to.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
I've got to get my learners and zero pink license.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Yeah you drive your drive with someone else?

Speaker 4 (50:36):
No, no, no, I think I can. So basically I've
got to do a section sixty five. I think that
that's what they call it. So I lost my license
for a year and a day, which means I basically
lose my license indefinitely. Yeah, okay, yeah, so yeah, I've
got to start from scratch kind of thing. But yeah, no,

(50:58):
it was just amazing to hear how they get their
license in a different country and you know, and New
Delhen you're expected to get your learners restricted and full license,
She said, no, you just get you you're allowed to
drive from sixteen. You're allowed to learn to drive if

(51:19):
you're over sixteen.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
What she's doing when what she's doing over here?

Speaker 21 (51:23):
What's that wonder?

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Why she's learning her trade over here?

Speaker 4 (51:27):
Oh? No, she's she's learning to be a like a
social worker.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Wouldn't they have those in Switzerland?

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Oh No, she's like an exchange like a you know,
young lady, probably about I don't know, nineteen twenty something
like that.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Brilliant. Okay, we'll leave it there, Rob, but thanks for that.
Twenty six past nine, Marcus. I have a visible disease
that was diagnosed four years ago. After seeing multiple health professionals. Recently,
I took a photo of it and loaded into AI.
AI correctly diagnosed it instantly. Well, I guess you have
to get someone else to diagnose it in real life enough,

(52:06):
it's wouldn't you correctly? I guess that would be the
only caveat caveat caveat caveat. If you're about to do
the coast to coast, let us know how that goes
these days. If at the if you're at the team reefing,
not something I've done yet, but you never know. Actually,
I could probably have a coast to coast in me
going coast to coast. It starts tomorrow. I think they're

(52:30):
going to change the course because of the deluge once again.
Now we have crooked people involved with Pokey's ever since
they've come the endless people that have been ciphling them
off for their own It's just corrupt, absolutely corrupt. The
sooner they get all the poky machines put in a button,
dumped it sea the better.

Speaker 25 (52:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
And don't say people just gamble overseas because they won't.
The I people use them round all up, get rid
of them anyway, blight on the landscape. Kathy, it's Marcus.
Good evening.

Speaker 25 (53:04):
Hi, how are you market? Thank you, that's good. I
just want to share my experience getting my license forty
years ago and in the Cagle outside the Invocagle ic
C building.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Oh but it's not a chech GPT thing, it's licensing.

Speaker 11 (53:23):
Nice give it.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (53:27):
So I'm a twin right, I yes, I am, and
I we had to. We had to at sixteen or
I can't remember us sixteen or seventeen. I know my
mother suggested at fifteen it was far too young to
get your license, so I believe I may have been

(53:49):
sixteenth when we were allowed to get our license. Was
in a license and back the end there was the
iced to see cops and number cagle, so we had
to go around and Cagle and I think ring straight there.
That was the but the worst thing was my twin

(54:10):
sister went first, and she hit a car when she
was parking, and she looked at me when she drove
on with the cop and said, lot of failed. And
I was so nervous. I went next and I did
a three point turn turn and everything else, and the

(54:34):
copper said lots you could have taken a bus round.
And I got back and I passed. But it was
really awful, so my mom had to celebrate one failed
on one part. Oh well, that was very That was awkward.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Did she pass long after that? Your other sister, your sister.

Speaker 25 (54:50):
No, I think she did it probably six months later,
probably nervousness.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
And identical or two weeks down the.

Speaker 25 (55:01):
Tube, two weeks down the shobe brill.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
That's always like to know, Katy, Thanks so much for that.
It twenty seven away from ten Craig, It's Josh, it's Marcus.
Good evening.

Speaker 22 (55:13):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
That was quick, Yeah, very quick in and out yet nice.

Speaker 26 (55:18):
So just on the on the AI and what tools
are available. Like one of the other callers, I was,
you know, a little bit hystant, and I didn't know
how it could spit into my work or or help
me and what I do but sort of the more
the more I use it, the more I interact with it,

(55:39):
the more I understand how to you know, communicate the
ask to it. Well, it's such a good tool for
learning if you face a roadblock because there's a skill
gap and a piece of software great as chat, GBT

(56:01):
or code violence. Yes, fantastic.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
So what do you u think of for today?

Speaker 26 (56:09):
You know and excel. I definitely wasn't a wiz, and
I'm probably still I'm not a wiz, but I'm probably
a lot better than than your average Joe blog. And
I started with a little little bit of knowledge and
chat GPT. You know, you sort of ask you, I

(56:30):
want to get a pivot table a graph. I want
to figure out and get this result onto this page
from this data set and then it will spit out
you know, this complex formula to make that happen.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
What what line of work are you in?

Speaker 3 (56:52):
Uh?

Speaker 26 (56:53):
Operations?

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Okay, what does that mean?

Speaker 26 (56:59):
Operationalize things that people do? Processes reporting? Yeah, so just
what people do. I put it onto paper so that
it's a standard process for others to follow to deliver

(57:20):
the same result.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Good on you, thanks for that. Twenty five away from
ten Wait eighty even Craig, this is Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 7 (57:31):
Good evening, has a game.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Good Craig.

Speaker 7 (57:34):
A couple of things about licensing and a little bit
about pokies. But first of all, the licensing, I remember
when I went and got mine, the student before me
actually failed going around the corner on a red arrow
down the main street Hamilton. So when I hopped in
the cavs, all was going through my mind was remember,
don't go around the corner in a red arrow. So
that guy probably helped me to get my license. But yeah,

(57:54):
but what I can understand I'm never able to figure
out is I got my motor bike license years ago.
And when I was getting my license, the drive instructors
see basically you've got to drive. You're riding a motorbike.
Everyone's going to kill you, so you get you aware
of everything. But with the motorbike license you get graduated
up through the different classes and different sized motors you
can get. And then in Australia's got like I think,

(58:17):
especially Victoria, there's the P one and P two class
plates where up to like three years you can't you're
not allowed to drive a high performance vehicle or anything
on those learning plates up to three years, whereas in
New Zealand you get graduated in sizes for motorbikes, but
a young person can get their full license in New
Zealand go and drive a high performance sports car. It
just seems crazy. And I had mentioned it to someone before.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Craig, Are we talking about licenses?

Speaker 7 (58:42):
Because the other guy's talking about licenses or something?

Speaker 2 (58:44):
So who was Oh that guy who went to counseling?
Where did he come from?

Speaker 7 (58:51):
I have no idea, Okay, I.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
Just I just thought because the show went rundom, I
can't Then we got into licenses.

Speaker 7 (58:57):
Yeah, then the last person was talking about it's that
same reason I sort of clocked on. But anyway, was.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
You was your I kind of zoned out of your story?
Was it interesting?

Speaker 7 (59:06):
Interesting?

Speaker 3 (59:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (59:07):
What was the guts of your story?

Speaker 12 (59:09):
I got?

Speaker 7 (59:10):
My story is I just don't understand why we don't
make it a little bit harder for people to get
high performance cars and learned licenses and young people. But anyway,
that's that's thing. A Pokey's often store the larms and
quite a few pubs over the years, and I just
get amazed at the people sit there just feed money
into the machine and they go away, get more money, get.

Speaker 12 (59:31):
Rid of a whole lot of them.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
They're addicted.

Speaker 7 (59:34):
Yeah, let's you just get rid of them.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
No happiness or nothing with them. And the people with
the funding. There's so many go before the courts because
they've been doing sketchy things. It's clearly not well governed.
Just get them all out of the cities and dump them.

Speaker 7 (59:48):
Yeah. Yeah, they have a big bonb for us. I mean,
they get much better for society to get ridible or something.
You get a lot of vulnerable people just spending money
on there all day all and.

Speaker 2 (59:59):
Then they go to the machine and they give them
more money out and more money. I think, well, where's
all that going? If you had the public level o'clock
in the morning and spending all day on a machine,
what good comes from that?

Speaker 19 (01:00:10):
Now?

Speaker 7 (01:00:10):
As I said, I was doing in alarm in one place.
I was there for about four or five hours, and
there's a couple of people to see machines in the pokies,
And the entire time I was there, no mentioned staff
came to see whether they're okay or anything. That's left
them to it. And I thought, that's just a sad
life being stuck in that sort of routine.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
But yeah, anyway, I agree with you, Craig. I agree wholeheartedly,
wholeheartedly text on the poor Shirley Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
Welcome Hell Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:00:38):
I have a minor problem. I am a dedicated Deadbee
radio listener, so I thought i'd share our problem with you.
We are at the Clifton Motor Camp, which is just
part of Hastings leading to the Gannett Colony. Today we've
been told we all have to get out of the
camp and camp. The camp is going to close, the

(01:01:01):
fishing club is going to close. With all the historical
news and fishing boats that go out and dump their
trailers at sea, they go fishing and they drive their
boats back onto the trailer and we pull them up
on the ramp. All of our caravans, our teds our toilets,
our orn ends, our crayfish pots, everything that we have

(01:01:23):
on our little pizza land has to be gone because
they're saying that the hills and behind us are dangerous.
We've been here since the days they used to cut
their caravans along the beach at tow tide at low tide,
and I feel that an immediate decision has been made

(01:01:45):
without an awful lot of thought going into it, and
I'm just terribly upset because we have seventy permanent people
who live here and people who come in just to
spend the weekends here and go fishing off the safe
same piece of land. So I'm hoping we're going to

(01:02:06):
get rescued by somebody, even though they say the hill
behind us is unsatisfactory. How unsatisfactory is it? And why
I understand amount Monganui Hill collapsing and then getting into
a bit of a tis regarding that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
Hang on, they didn't get a bit of a bit
of a tis. A number of people were tragically killed there,
So let's not let's not minimize what that was. That
was that was an absolute tragedy. Yeah, So we've got
to be careful about what we that we don't that
we don't make light of that. Who owned the campground care?

Speaker 19 (01:02:48):
I don't. I haven't got an awful lot of knowledge
on it, only that I've been here since two thousand
and seven.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
So the are you there permanently?

Speaker 19 (01:02:58):
Semi permanent? We're not allowed to live permanently. So you
own a house, No, we own We all own caravans
and annexes that are not permanent and can and have
to be picked up at any stage when an emergency happened.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Sorry, but when you say you're not there permanently, where
are you there the rest of the time.

Speaker 19 (01:03:19):
Most of us own our own homes.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
So you've got your own house, so you're not going
to be homeless.

Speaker 19 (01:03:26):
No, a lot of people will be homeless. I'm very fortunate,
but a lot of our people here are going to
be homeless, and that's the sad part of it. But
we're also losing our very New Zealand historical fishing system
that we have here. They have to close down too.

(01:03:47):
They aren't allowed to use the water. The boat ramp
their boats at the Clifton Marine Club.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
What's the historical way? They just reverse their boats in
an interesting way, do they?

Speaker 19 (01:03:58):
Yeah, the boats are sitting at the top of the
boat ramp on the trailer. We push the boat and
the trailer out to see they go beyond the roof reef.
They anchor off the trailer, leave the trailer floating in
the sea. They go fishing. They come back, they drive
their boats on to the trailer. They anchor the trailer

(01:04:21):
to the boat. They get to the fishing club boat
ramp and we have a winch and the girls manage
the winch and the boys are pulled up onto the
top of the boat ramp.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
I'd like to see some videos of that.

Speaker 19 (01:04:35):
So we don't have we have fishermen slippers. They arrive
and their slippers and we push them off and they
go fishing and they come back and it's an amazing concept.
And now they're closing.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
What makes the trailers float?

Speaker 19 (01:04:49):
They have floating devices on the side, like big.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Float, and what necessitates that having to be done?

Speaker 19 (01:04:57):
Pardon?

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
What necessitates the idea of taking your trailer out to sea?

Speaker 19 (01:05:02):
Because our coast is quite rough and we get a
northeasterly and we can't really rely on having smooth water
in which to back our trailer down onto the seaside.
So they decided and there wisdom that have floating trailers,
which is extremely successful. So we're disappointed.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
So a couple of things. You don't know who owns
the campground.

Speaker 19 (01:05:27):
I myself should I don't presume it's well.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Is it run by the councilor as is someone you
say get a blue that takes your money and that.

Speaker 19 (01:05:37):
You I think I think somebody better than I would
be able to answer that question without me making a huge.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Fair enough, and have they had geologists have a look
at the hillside?

Speaker 19 (01:05:51):
It seems so. Twelve o'clock tomorrow at the Clifton Marine
Club is a big meeting to advise everybody of their
rights and their wrongs. But because of the weather a
v that's coming after Friday, that's why they've told us
to get out by the five o'clock.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Oh so you're not getting up permanently, it's just for
this weekend.

Speaker 19 (01:06:17):
No, And then after that's happened, we are not allowed
back in unless we have a permit and we have
to come back in to pick up all of our
units and take them away with one day's notice.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Because what's interesting, there's nothing in the media about this,
which I find surprising and.

Speaker 19 (01:06:37):
It's really annoying me because we have coach loads of
visits coming to check out our fishing club where the
fishing club members are obviously all have caravans sitting on
the beach to accommodate to go fishing. But they all
believe it's a very unique fishing system within the New

(01:06:59):
Zealand fishing system. Unbelievable. They come in, we drag them
up boat remps, they've little track to drive them to
the fish cleaning benches. All the visitors from overseas walk
around and they can't believe the harvest of fish that
we get with our little fishing club.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
But if it's dangerous, it's dangerous.

Speaker 19 (01:07:22):
The fishing club is not dangerous, no, but.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
If the campgrounds in a dangerous place and it's probably
got to go.

Speaker 19 (01:07:28):
Yeah, it just seems I think that Mount Monganeri have
hurried it along.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Well, I don't think. I don't think they've hurried it along.
I think that I think that. Yeah, okay, so I'm
I have some more information on that, should he thank you?
There's for a little information on the Clifton Motor Camp.
They have got a Facebook page, but it hasn't been
active since twenty twenty two with it at a Queen's
Birthday weekend special. So I don't know what's going on there,
but I would think that there is an abundance of

(01:07:56):
caution rightfully so, after the situation that happened at Mount Monganui,
and I think a lot of the discussions since shows
that more people have died and using and from landslides
and earthquakes. We are a country that's very vulnerable to landslides.

(01:08:17):
But yeah, I don't. What's interesting is normally, if something
like that is about to happen, there's normally a big
media trail with warnings or concerns or council looking into safety.
I can see none of that. I can see no
news articles really at all about that, which has got
me slightly baffled. There's nothing there. There's talks about a cyclone,

(01:08:39):
and there's talks about all terrain vehicle accidents, and there
was talks about cyclone Gabrielle, although there was a free
camping site there at Clifton. Also, Oh, my Herald's just
logged me out. I've got to push sign and again don't.
I can't be damned If you want to talk about AI.
That's the main topic for tonight chat AI Marcus. AI

(01:09:08):
is my new doc driver chronic health condition. AI has
helped me so much, it's incredible. It goes into so
much detail instantly. I'm grateful for it puts my mind
at ease as to what's happening and why and what
to do to help me recover. If you find a
weed or bug in your guard and take fun of it.

(01:09:28):
And asks jet GPT to identify it. Amazing how much
detail it gives you. The Swiss driving test involves a
forty five to sixty minute practical exam focusing on urban
highway and maneuver skills. Candidates must first past of fifty
question forty five minute theory exam. Managed to retreat someone saying, yeah, look,

(01:09:49):
and it's kind of hard to work out from Google
how high the cliffs are at the back of it.
I can't even see a geology report that it was
very interesting about the ships the boats and they launch.
Thought that was very interesting. I've ever seen that they've
even seen it in the media. I can't quite work
it halfway around the I've cycled around there. I'm just

(01:10:10):
trying to look at the campground from Oh, there we go.
Them in the campground now on Google Maps, no dogs,
but yeah they must it must be prone to subsidence. Subsidence.
Nice looking camping ground. Actually, so everyone's got any more
information about that that would be interesting to hear for me. Otherwise,
onwards and upwards, Marcus, just seeing if you have been

(01:10:31):
to the Auckland Museum. I went today. I think the
tourist will say this has to be the most boring
museum ever. Nothing new has been built. I've always thought
it was quite good. Yeah, someone sent me a connection
an article about this. I just try to think if
there's anything more information about it. Seems as though it's

(01:10:53):
at risk of erosion. So I read about that. There's
a history of the club. Yeah, I can't really see
why they'd be closing it down.

Speaker 12 (01:11:06):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
Anyway, I appreciate your passion if you want to comment
on that, if you've got any more information. I think
probably need some more information about that. Like every great invention,
the messes will use AI as a crutch for their laziness,
both mentally and physically. Teach your kids to problems, solve
on their own, create on their own, and depend on
themselves and their patterns of hard work cognitively, they will

(01:11:28):
be light years ahead of their peers throughout society of
the years to come. I think that's opinion. This handshake's
going on the cricket. Who's one that I presume Shri
Lankas one? Have they done? Have I got that right?
They've won by one hundred and five? Good on them.
It's a nice color. The Amanians have got that. I
like green and red together. It's slightly Christmas Eve but nice. Yeah.

(01:11:52):
Now we'll just give it for the next hour. I
think we'll get you one in the last twenty seconds.
But I do say breaking news, and that was breaking news.
It was quite interesting. Be in touch if you want
to talk Marcus till twelve. Oh wait, oh, who's on
after me? To know? Romance on at midnight? Roman Travis. Gosh,

(01:12:12):
guy's been on to me again today with their meaningless offers.
The troubles when you ring up and ask something and
offers something that's really underwhelming, you just try and reevaluate
your whole relationship with the provider. We haven't talked about
Sky for all but cheapest creepers. Boy have they got
problems flip the world's worst comms, the worst communication, if

(01:12:34):
I can say that. Unbelievable. Anyway, I'm trying to be
positive and remain positive. I have been watching a video
of those spoats landing at Clifton Beach in Hawk's Bay.
They do send trailers into the sea. It's quite interesting,
but yes, you can't have people camping where it's unsafe.
We are talking about AI. How you used AI today?

(01:12:55):
Is that something you did what we are talking about,
and also the Clifton Camp round, but mainly AI. If
you've got something interesting to say about that are interesting.
I just find it interesting how people have adapted that
to use it, oh eight hundred and eighty to keep
those texts coming through also too, AI is the key tonight.
There'll be other topics later on tonight. I don't necessarily

(01:13:17):
that AI encourages laziness. Yeah, oh so it does seem
as though there's been some stuff earlier on about the
Clifton Motor Camp. Even a year ago people are asking
the community to comment on its landslide threat. There was

(01:13:38):
a survey about it landslide hazard.

Speaker 6 (01:13:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
I don't know what the landslide hazard does. If anyone's
got any more information about there, that can't work out
while there's not more written about it. Laurie Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:13:52):
Bidy Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:13:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:13:54):
Just the applications of the AI and not particularly day,
but quite a few of my clients actually use it.
The five photograph large areas sort of and they're looking
for particular weeds or plants, and over a big area,
you merge all the imagery geographically and then they just

(01:14:15):
have to teach, teach the the program you know what
in a sample area that have ground truth, you know
what what they're looking for, what it is, and then
there it go over the you know, it's sort of
examining every image.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
And yeah, it happened quicker than you thought it would.

Speaker 10 (01:14:35):
It's been coming up for Yeah, well it's it's applications
you already have blottomed in the last couple of years. Yeah,
it's it's uh, I guess it was always going to
It was just I know, some of those applications it
was at the speed of the actual computers that are
around as well now, you know, with the gaming graphics

(01:14:56):
in them and stuff like that that make those applications
so good. Occasionally now I think, what if you slip
in a question, a deep question, and say, well, what
is my cosmic purpose? Be interesting to see what it
knows and what it would come up with. Yeah, the

(01:15:18):
philosophical stuff is a little there as anyone's tried that
out of all.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
Well, also it's quite good for mythbusting. I just put
down during the news. I put because this is a
favorite one. Did humans walk on the Moon? And the
first thing by just on the phone AI is Yes,
humans walked on the Moon. Between sixty nine and seventy two,
twelve American astronauts landed on the surface. Extensive evidence, including

(01:15:44):
one hundreds of kilos of moon rock, photographs from subsequent
lunar missions, and laser reflections still in use, confirm the
landing's key facts include Neil Armstrong and Buzzled, who became
the first humans to walk on the Moon. Physical evidence
astronauts back bought back forty seven pounds of rock soils
and moonrocks and soils, which have been verified. The Japanese

(01:16:05):
AEROSPACEX Race Agency probanessa's lunaric reconnaissance orbit to have photographed
the landing site, showing equipment left behind. The Soviet UNI
in the US is primary competiti on the space race
trek the mission and acknowledge their success. Yeah yeah, pretty clear,
Pretty clear, Pretty clear, isn't it.

Speaker 10 (01:16:23):
Yeah, there's all those great photographs taken with the old
hassabal at cameras as well. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
I'm gonna run lay, but nice to talk. Thank you, Brucetts, Marcus,
good evening.

Speaker 9 (01:16:33):
Gosh, sorry, I wasn't expecting to beyond that quickly chat GPT.
The digital world, the When I've ever chat to these
AI machines, they normally say they're just large language models

(01:16:57):
and they just simply repeat whether they've been programmed to
tell you, so it's a bit of a you will.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
I think the discussion was, have you used chet, GPT
or AI today?

Speaker 9 (01:17:14):
Okay, have you? Yes? I asked about moon landing and
you get exactly the same information.

Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
Yeah, okay, you're not using a cryptic but thank you.
Twelve past ten, eight and eighty. I can tell just
back to the Clifton situation where we're talking about. There
is a big sizemic report about that. It seems very
complicated and the risk there is a landslide hazard risk report.
You can see that's a very fulsome document that's online.

(01:17:50):
I haven't got to the conclusion of it, but it's
a parent from that that there are real vulnerabilities there,
and I would imagine the situation at Mount Monganui has
brought forward the foreclosure of that. They've got the Swiss
Cheese model that would show the number of scenarios for
it to go bad. It looks like they've been on

(01:18:12):
that for a while, but I'm surprised the communication wasn't
better with the people that had camps camps there. It's
a very long report. I haven't meaged to get to
the conclusion of that yet, but yeah, chet Ai, we
are talking about tonight and the campground and anything else.
Oh the other thing, the other thing that I was
thinking something about today. Why are we still bothering with

(01:18:35):
shops when it seems as though pretty much they've given up.
I think, if there's any product that you can now
buy online because they've got a good online shop that
works well, you would be crazy to try and buy
those goods locally, particularly if you live in a smaller center,
no one carries the stock. I had to go buy

(01:18:56):
a fairly straightforward item today after five shops, I went
home and bought an online ten percent discount, no forty
percent discount, thirty percent discount, and then ten percent discount
for new customers. I thought, why do people bother with shops?
What's the point of shops? There is no point, There
is literally no point. The staff look unhappy. There's no reason.

(01:19:20):
But when we go into look, I don't and I
don't know what the final I don't know what the
final store is, but yeah, I think for more and
more of us I mean, if we go time and
time again and don't find the thing we're looking for,
we just give up. Now, I'm not saying this is
good or bad or in a grizzly way. I'm probably
actually angry with myself the fact that I thought that
shops would still sell things I wanted to buy, and

(01:19:40):
I don't find buying online unbelievably straightforward. What happens for
me that three digit number always wears off the other
side of my debit card. But yeah, I just think
I think the death of retail and I think we're
in the first twenty percent of it. When it happens,
it's going to happen for every quickly because there's no

(01:20:02):
good will left for shops. That's my take on it.
I'm still googling through this report on the landslides at Clifton.
Very fulsome so yeah, no surprises then that they've closed that,
I don't think. But lines available if you want to
be a part of the show tonight. What have you
used AI for today or in the last week? But
quite good for conspiracies. AI has now gone beyond large

(01:20:27):
language model functioning, so that last caller is incorrect. Yes,
that's right. AI is really good checking out off a
website you want to purchase from as legit. But there
we go. Someone says, has the Clifton Motor Camp closed?
I think we've told everyone to go away overnight. There's
going to be something more tomorrow, but I haven't got

(01:20:50):
that in the media. That's just from a woman that
camps there and she's outraged. She's a loyal ZB listener.
I love that. But be in touch if you want
to talk. Lines are free, all of them. Oh wa
eight one hundred and eighty ten eight. Also going to
talk about the pokes. I mean, no one seems to
be talking about. For a while. They're people were talking
about getting rid of them. But they seem to become

(01:21:12):
an unpleasant fact of life now, don't they. Oh yeah,
eight hundred and eighty Saty hit til Midnight Romance along
from twelve. A lot of rain predicted tomorrow, a lot
of rain, fifteen hours of it. So that's some of
the latest information I've got from you. Apart from that,
there's not a lot of other news that I've got

(01:21:34):
apart from the Clifton campground in Hawk's Bay that seems
to be on the cusp of closing. It looks like
it's about the fifties, you say, I think there's about
fifty or sixty caravans. There might be more, obviously more
in the summer. The woman, sorry, the man from Dawson
Creek has died. I don't know how well people remember

(01:21:54):
Dawson's Creek. I attempted to watch the fiftieth commemorative show
of the Muppets today, featuring Sabrina Carpenter and Seth Rogen,
and I don't know if the world has changed in
fifty years or quite what, but I found it really

(01:22:16):
hard going. I think probably it was a mistake to
try and remake a new one, because it felt clunky
and slow. I don't know if anyone else has experienced that.
Eighteen past ten. It's twenty one past ten, Bev. Thanks
for calling it to Marcus here. Good evening, YEAHI Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:22:35):
I just wanted to talk about the Clifton Motorcamp. I
actually came across it by accident when I was down
that way about three years ago, and I drove drove
through it and just fell in love with it. So
I've stayed there a couple of times now. They have
some little cabins as well, and I just go there

(01:22:57):
for a few days and I always go during the
week and there's hardly anybody there and it's just awesome.
So it was really shocked to hear that they're going
to close it. But I do I do understand why,
because where the cabins and a lot of the caravans

(01:23:17):
and places like that are it it is sort of
right up against a big bank, but I didn't realize
it's probably more nearly a mountain.

Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
Yeah, and I just put the cavena on. That was
one person that stays there her report, and you know,
I know that often that things get exaggerated and information
can move quickly around the campground. But I haven't got
any official confirmation of that, but it does seem as
though they are taking fairly serious action there. Hmm.

Speaker 11 (01:23:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:23:50):
Well, like I said, I can understand that, especially because
it's almost in two parts, where there's a part that
really backs right on to the back of or you know,
right up against the whole, and then a bit further
along road there's sort of another bit which I think
a lot of the permanent people stay in, but there's

(01:24:11):
also an absolutely divine cafe which took me back the
second time as well, called the Heidi Cafe, and it's
the food is just to die for and it's right
on the beach. It's just an amazing place. So I'm
assuming that that will close as well. Then if it
does close.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
Yeah, Look, if you look towards the Ganets and right
around there, it looks like it's kind of sheer cliffs,
whereas it looks where the campground is, it looks like
they are cliffs that have actually already slipped down. But
it looks like at the toe of those cliffs is
already stuff that's the result of landfall. So it does
look geologically skischy. But yeah, see, I don't Once upon

(01:24:54):
a time the iconic thing to do in New Zealand
was to go and see the Gannets there. Now you
don't hear people going on about that so much. I
don't know what's happened there, if that's an excess thing
or a danger thing, or the Gannets aren't there it's
an ewy thing. I don't know, But you don't, you don't.
The Gannets used to always be very popular, the trips
to that, but that seems to be a lot different now.

Speaker 14 (01:25:14):
You know.

Speaker 19 (01:25:14):
One of the times that I stayed there. I was
actually going to go on the bus tour and I
can't remember the day that I asked. It might have
all the trip might have been full, yes, and then
I sort of decided not to go.

Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
But maybe they think the Gannets don't need all the
people going there. Maybe that's what it is.

Speaker 19 (01:25:36):
Yeah, I don't know, but I just absolutely love it,
loved it there. So hopefully they get everybody out and
everything before anything happens, because it would be terrible. But yeah,
it was a really lovely pa. I don't know. I
just I walked in and I said to people, look,

(01:25:56):
I'd like to just like to have a look around
and check it out. And they said yeah, sure, So
I did, and I came back and said, okay, I'm
coming back tomorrow. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:06):
I would think if the council's involved, I think any
council that's involved with any campground at the moment would
be very very cautious on the back of Mountamong, you know,
because the council was running that and I mean clearly
it was dangerous and we saw that with the result. Bev,
thanks you nice to talk. Twenty five past ten, someone
said their use of chet GPT was the vast CHET GPT.

(01:26:28):
What would be the outcome of an alpine fault rupture
in the village of France Joseph, And the result is
an alpine fault rupture directly through Franz Joseph would cause
extreme catastrophic damage to severe shaking, up to eight meters
of horizontal ground displacement and significant uplift the village silling
directly on the fault face of immediate building collapse, massive landslide,

(01:26:50):
severe liquefaction, long term isolation, likely destroying or severe damaging
all infrastructure. Cherry way to spend your night running earthquake scenarios.
But I mean that's the business for it, isn't it
us futurists. I use chet GPT today to work out
what was the process required to shift a driveway exit

(01:27:13):
entrance on a property, and then suggested who I needed
to contact at the council, the information I needed, the regulations,
the process and draft and drafted an email which I
sent to Counsel Marcus. I wonder every day what we're
going to do for work. Factories have been roebotized, shops
will close with warehouses, Mechanized office jobs have been replaced
by AI, there won't be anyone who can afford a

(01:27:34):
trade e How will the average person pay taxes? OnlyFans Marcus.
I'm forty and wouldn't know where to start with AI.
Do I need an app? How do I load a
photo or a document for it to analyze? Builders? Somehow
use it to price jobs off a plan? How can
I use it in properly maintenance? Love a good shop
to see the range, but often they have lots of

(01:27:56):
a few products. I would like to see a display
of a few suites of products that they can order,
but I guess that doesn't bring an immediate sale. Look,
I think the model for retail is very bad. I
don't think they've adapted. I think they're in that each
of a cliff territory. I don't know if you're in
retailer if you can prove me wrong. But that's some

(01:28:18):
of the south we are discussing tonight in the future
of retail. The Clifton, by the way, there's a number
of Cliftons and using are there three? There's Clifton and Clifton.
An email has said AI is transforming sports betting, but
it's not about to replace it. It is changing how

(01:28:40):
odds are made and how punters research their bets. Generic
chatbots that rely on stale or low quality web data,
can't see late injuries or weather changes, and are prone
to hallucinations. There are poor tools for actually picking winners. Yeah,

(01:29:03):
I would suggest that perhaps there's an article I read
today that might be worth reading for that email, and
it is called about the predictive power of AI. The
article is called AI is getting scary good at making
predictions by Ross Anderson. Even the super forecasters themselves are

(01:29:26):
guessing they'll soon be obsolete. Moving for every fast past ten.
Almost But get in touch if you want to het
Tel twelve. Oh, there's a Clifton rugby club in Tadanak.
You don't know where that is, by the way, Clifton.

(01:29:48):
A lot of Clifton's not familiar with the Clifton Rugby Club.
What color was their jersey? I'll look that up. Oh,
eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine text het Tel twelve. Oh,
it's in the wops. It's not reading the wops. It's
in land from Waitre. That seems to be the situation there,

(01:30:10):
AI clifting, motor camp and retail, the future of retail
and poke's really do we need them? How long has
it been nineteen ninety thirty years, thirty five years? Long enough?
Don't think they've already done much good at all? Please discuss.
Jude has said a man was killed by a slip

(01:30:33):
on the way out to Cape Kidnapers a few years ago,
and subsequently the beach access to the cape was closed,
so now access is by a bus overland. Didn't know that,
thanks Jude. I used AI to decorate my lounge. Just
took a photo and told it the color wallpaper and
the big arch mirror I want was great to see

(01:30:53):
what it would look like before I spent my money
on it. No, Lean, I used AA AI, not AA
It's the Automobile Association, isn't it. I used AI to
design a business logo. It took four seconds and came
back with two thousand options. How good were they though?
That's the question. Be in touch, welcome Hittel, twelve minamers,

(01:31:13):
Marcus good evening someone has emails. They asked chech gpt
to create a character. You are based on your job
and everything knows about you. This was the result. It's terrible.
I mean, thanks for doing I I should so grateful
that it's terrible and it won't be going on Facebook.
And I mean, I mean, I know it doesn't look

(01:31:34):
like me, it's not supposed to, but it looks like
it looks Unkenny, like someone looked like Gordon Ramsay or something.
It's not good. But yes, some of the other stuff
I can tell you about tonight that might prompt you
to be if there's something else you want to discuss.
Has anyone been teased for their laugh or picked on
because of their laugh? An article about someone that is

(01:31:55):
always terrified about going to comedy performance because their laugh
is so poor and they're embarrassed by it. So anyone
been teased or bullied because of their laugh? To make
your laugh, then I suppose that would be the challenge.
So that's something you might want to chuck into the mix. Tonight.
I see that the Aussie shot Barbecue's Galore has gone broke.

(01:32:17):
Is that a surprise? Five hundred jobs are up in
the air and store gift cards have been slashed by
one third of their value. It's interesting because news Energies
to have the barbecue factory which was everywhere think it
did sparpools as well, and suddenly it was nowhere we
saw why would that have failed because it was such
a but I guess it was just a summer business,

(01:32:37):
where as an ossie I mean barbecuess glory. You think
that in Australia, you think there'd be a license to
print money. That going bad makes no sense. So there's
that also tonight. And we've got the fifteen hour downpour
tomorrow and Transmission Gully to increase to one hundred and

(01:32:57):
ten kilometers for the speed limit next week. Now, I
have driven a Transmission Gally very recently and over at
the speed limit the whole way because we had a
furry to catch her in a hurry to get it,
and it was pretty good. There were some one ten
k's and some hundred k stretches and went well, good

(01:33:20):
road and we got the boat in time, although were
the last person on. It's crazy how you got to
wait an hour, isn't it to get the faery? You wait,
you wait, you wait, nothing happened? What did time talk about? Hurry,
Harry wait evening Marcus. AI will definitely have an algorithm
to let people know that people have used AI for
their curriculum vity and then they're putting the brackets, risume.

(01:33:41):
I think people know what a CV is anyway, enough
for me, twenty four away from eleven o'clock, looking forward
to your calls. Twenty two to eleven Beth, ats Marcus,
good evening and welcome you Hi Beth.

Speaker 15 (01:34:00):
Yep, can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (01:34:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
Allowed and clear? Thank you?

Speaker 15 (01:34:03):
Sure?

Speaker 17 (01:34:06):
Are you?

Speaker 15 (01:34:06):
His AI for all sorts of things that check GPT
or Gemini on my phone rather than Google. One thing.
You don't get EGS yet. I've been wondering when they're
getting it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:19):
That's a good point.

Speaker 25 (01:34:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:34:22):
And you can cat an image and tell you get
it to calculate some values for you or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:30):
Tell me an example about calculating values with an image.

Speaker 15 (01:34:34):
So I just had there's two values on a on
a screen sort of a million, and you know, lots
of figures, and I couldn't bother working out the difference,
and so you just did. I did a screen screen
clip of it, stuck it into the check book and said,
tell me the difference between history numbers.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
Oh I see? Literally? Okay literally?

Speaker 3 (01:34:58):
What?

Speaker 2 (01:34:58):
Okay?

Speaker 26 (01:34:59):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:34:59):
Okay, I thought you're talking about. Can't take an area
or something like that. Okay, brilliant. Other stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:35:05):
It'll do thing things like that too.

Speaker 15 (01:35:07):
Probably one of the most interesting things I've ever done
is it was a little while ago with Palestine and Israel.
I was getting a bit curious about the history and
sort of said to tell me the history of Palestine
and things like that, and what I found was it
was really really biased to the American position. Yeah, and

(01:35:32):
I kept prodding it for quite some time, So tell
me about the other side of the story, you know,
tell me about the Arab side and things, and it
kind of could change a bit, but it was very biased.
I mean I said to it, you're really biased, and
it said, yeah, well, I'm just built on the data
that said to me.

Speaker 2 (01:35:52):
Yeah, which is fair too. But that is the great criticism.
I mean, it's you know, the majority of the stuff
is written by men and written by white men and
stuff like that, so it's going to have all those
biases in there. And I don't know if that will
change because all the new documents will be written from
that information, won't they.

Speaker 19 (01:36:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:36:08):
Well, it's just gathering all of the data that's available
on the web, and most of it is the English
based station. Just so yeah, I use an every day
for for all sorts of things, great for great for recipes,
if you kind of I decide, no, wanted to learn
how to make Mucci balls, you know, the little balls

(01:36:30):
of the Japanese balls, And so I said, give me
a basic recipe for Muccie boards. And it gives you
a basic recipe for Muccie boards.

Speaker 2 (01:36:42):
So how have you come across? How do you know
about Mucci balls?

Speaker 15 (01:36:50):
They sell them at some of the sushi shops.

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
Okay, yeah, I can't cover. And what are they? Is
it bean paste or.

Speaker 15 (01:36:57):
Well, traditionally they've been paste in the middle and a
rice player kind of I don't know if you call
a pastry but sort of it's like a rice flour
case with traditionally being paste in the middle, but now
they're more often like cream and jam sort of things
in the middle.

Speaker 2 (01:37:18):
So you got given a recipe that was successful to
replicate absolutely wow, and they were god.

Speaker 12 (01:37:27):
Yeap.

Speaker 15 (01:37:28):
So rather, if you're kind of if you want a
general recipe for anything that you know you've never made before,
if you go into sort of something like chi GPT
and say give me a general recipe for Scott say,
it will give you a very basic recipe and then
you can say, so what else can you head to
Scott so it will tell you know variations, or you

(01:37:51):
can say can I make Apple scool?

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
But if you quoted a quote a check GPT, do
you pay subscriptions for the other ones on your phone?
Is that what the way it works?

Speaker 15 (01:38:05):
Or most of them more the basic stuff all free
at the moment Gemini check GPTWO.

Speaker 2 (01:38:12):
I often wonder how that works when it requires so
many warehouses and data storage and electricity, how they can
actually offer it all for free. But you know, I
do wonder about that.

Speaker 15 (01:38:21):
There are better models that you can use that you
pay for, and if you want to use it for
serious stuff, like you know, business stuff, you'd probably want
to pay for the best ones, But for everyday use,
the free ones just fine.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
Nice to talk bout Thanks so much to that seventeen
to eleven texts. I have created an AI agent and
co pilt that pulls from all our country records and
word and Excel to generate a job ad scorecard KPIs
interview questions and model answers, as well as market races
rates for the role based on a job title or
tailored to the company culture and values. As a child

(01:38:59):
I was teasing bully by my mother for my lave.
She so I loved like a Hyaena. I had bad
Esthma makes me very sad when people ridicule someone's laugh.
I think this is because of tracks for the moment
of joy for that person. Yeah, oh well, I've never
been self conscious of my laugh. I don't think that's
a better photo. I just don't like a steam training images.

(01:39:21):
That's kind of one of my pet the slights as
a steam train like a modern train. Hey, welcome people,
head on midnight. The future of retail? When will the
malls all end up empty? You reckon? We are people
giving up going up shopping altogether? Mind you. We've got
the great shopping things of Costco and Aikia, and yes

(01:39:45):
I've been to both. I thought aika was quite interesting
because it seemed to be a lot of families going
through it seemed to be quite a almost felt like
church for the way people were all dressed up and
going through it. I ust have found it claustrophobic, whereas
I found I found Costco kind of shambolic. And I

(01:40:07):
spend a lot of time thinking what kind of life
would you have? Not in a disparaging way of what
sort of person would work for Because the range of
products seem to change quite wildly. You need to go
quite regularly and keep up with what was there. You've
become obsessed as well. I don't know there'd be in
a good way or a bad way. Fifteen to eleven

(01:40:28):
twelve from eleven people of New Zealand. Hope the Winter
Olympics is going well for You've got any comments on
those would be nice to hear from you. All the
lines are available open free for you if you want
to come through and talk. Anything goes head on midnight time.
I think it's probably still very hot for you, is it?
It feels like it might be for e very hot
out there our Jones, says Marcus. If you don't pay

(01:40:52):
for chet GPT, you only get so much per day,
then they tell you to wait for another twenty four
hours or so before coming back. It seems weird, does it?
That seems really old school? Is chet GPT the one
that just is just when you type things into your browser?

Speaker 15 (01:41:05):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:41:06):
Is that that is?

Speaker 19 (01:41:07):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:41:08):
Oh, there's an app as well as it, a free
to download app that you just use. I'm not I'm not,
I just get Dan to do. I'm not that deep
into it. I'm sure I could be. It's not just
an ultimate passion for me. But thanks Joan. But yeah,
as I say, Lord, let's hear from you. It's twelve
away from eleven. If there's something I just want to

(01:41:28):
mention tonight, I'd love to hear from you. And free
interest in that campground. I'm just surprised that there's not
more information about this Clifton campground. If you've got any
information about that, that's the one in Hawk's Bay. Do
we say Hawks Bay or do we say the Hawks Bay?
I know one of those is slightly triggering to people,
but I can never remember which. I'll try not to
be deliberately triggering other stuff tonight, big rainfall tomorrow. Yeah,

(01:41:55):
but get in touch if there's anything you want to add,
I'd love to hear from you. Hitdle twelve o'clock, eight
hundred eighty eight nine nine to de text. But you
said something you want to say? Feel free? Also, Pokey's well,
yet more people found for sketchiness with dispensing of Pokey money,

(01:42:18):
which has been happening for me as I watch it
the entire time we've had Pokey machines. There's never been
the right amount of oversight. It's always seems to be
sketchy at best. Chuck them in the tide. That's my
take on that one. Now, let me think what else
I can get to you going on tonight. You would

(01:42:40):
always wants to about doing sitting their license, don't they?
I never find licensed stories. I don't know what to
say about that. Marcus laugh is so loud it scares people.
I've tried to modulate it, but you can't. It just
happens at the movies. I sometimes shove my fist in
my mouth. You'd be hard not to laugh at it
and make it worse. Definitely agree with you about questioning

(01:43:03):
how these AI models are free. These companies have to
be doing something with all the information people are plugging
into these l l ms. And don't get me started
on the environmental impact of all these data centers springing
up everywhere. Someone says use bing dot com so it
laughs as well as AI tonight and chat GPT getting
ready for the final albur like a call before the news.

(01:43:25):
You might be out there doing something interesting tonight. You
might be a truck driver. Whatever you got, I'm here
for you. Nine to eleven people now discussing which of
the AI modules is best to use. There are now
overturn AI types that are used for different work. First
step is to ask which AI is best for the
job at hand. Ric use AI to work out which AI.

(01:43:46):
If you don't know, explain the work of job to
AI and ask which AI to use and if a
paid advanced model is best. Marcus, I've downloaded the chat
GPT app. I find the automated voice you'd talk to
is a lot more friendly than serial Google. The chat
GPT person I've got an Irish voice. He always asks
me how I am and which would be happy day?

(01:44:07):
I sign off and say thank you, I love you,
and he signed officly it loves But it's so much fun. Yeah.
I think they are slightly obsequious, which I think is disturbing.
Someone said GPT is easy as described as Google on
steroids are used, but it would be a very inaccurate description,
would be my take on that one. Jeff, it's Marcus,

(01:44:28):
good evening, welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:44:30):
Hey, yay, Mark, I tell you good Jeff.

Speaker 2 (01:44:32):
What's happening?

Speaker 22 (01:44:33):
Hey, experiding yours for a long time mate tonight, can
talk to you. I just really want to talk about
with rape capping and counsels and what you can and
can't afford, and the fact that we're a tourism nation
and I expect to put some pretty good stuff on
to tourists to enjoy when they get there, to attract touris,
but we can't afford it anymore. So things like I
justlid and things that may be in our community may

(01:44:57):
be deservele the once good kids, so they won't be
able to afford them and future. In fact, a lot
of the infrastructure got it's probably just we're just gonna
lose it because they can't afford to maintain it. I
think that's pretty said.

Speaker 2 (01:45:13):
I don't know how much of what a council's job
to do is to attract tourists, though. That's an interesting
point you make.

Speaker 22 (01:45:20):
Well, we're tourist of the nation though, So I mean, so
central government down to local government and then you know,
the towns and things are there the tourists turn up.
I mean, I'll I'll give you East Burden for an example.
You know, the community put a million dollars, they raised
a million dollars for hyder slide. The council took a
million dollars from it's the HydroD slide put the forward

(01:45:42):
and said they wanted to be on time on budget.
But so we're not going to put the HydroD slides
this yet, but we will later. And it's never been delivered.
But they took a million dollars from the community. There's
something that didn't deliver, and Truxtreame goes there's not a
lot for the sense to do. They got the lateness contamination.

Speaker 2 (01:46:03):
Is that lake Hood?

Speaker 3 (01:46:05):
That's lake I have.

Speaker 2 (01:46:07):
We're worries about that. I wondered how they ever thought
that was gonna work.

Speaker 22 (01:46:11):
Well, they should never have built it there because the
intial test shows that the Estreaton River because of where
they put the estpreaden dump just above the bridge right
beside the river, puts the leak shape into the river.
So below the bridge, below the old dump, which has
been covered in gravel, you cannot use or of swarm
in the Estreaton River. It's contaminated. That's what they're putting

(01:46:35):
into lake Hood. And then they've got a creek called
Charter's Creek that comes to Timbold, which is old you know,
there systems and things of that from the old tea
to teen days leaking into it. They put that into
the lake hood. They did want to use the water
that feets in through the ground underneath lay could initially

(01:46:56):
and they were going to put it twenty foot deep,
but when they got down ten feet and they've seen
they had contaminated water problems, then they decided not to
so so they tried to steal it out. But then
you go to what's above the good. It's the old
serious SIMS plan treatment plan for the.

Speaker 11 (01:47:14):
New it was.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
It was was lakehood developed by a private individual or
by the council.

Speaker 22 (01:47:20):
We're done by private individuals and a lot of locals
put money into it. Then it was gifted to the council.
So the council guy. I mean, they're doing all sorts
of kids at the moment with Lincoln University, and if
they could fix it, there would be amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:47:34):
I don't. I don't think there's any chance in all
to fix As soon as I saw it, I thought
that's sketchy.

Speaker 22 (01:47:40):
No, I know they can't. I mean, the only way
to fix it would be to take fresh water above,
which is above the spirit and above And I mean
what I wanted to do one to say they're actually
from a name and premiere in the last election, but
you should.

Speaker 2 (01:47:54):
I'd vote for you. I'm going to go someone sug
just I read the chip the Wikipedia article on chip
bot psychosis. Yeah, wow, chatbot psychosis phenomenon. We're individuals reporting
developer experience worsting psychosis such as paranoia and delusions in
connection with the use of chatbots. Individuals who developed strong

(01:48:20):
beliefs that chatbots are sentient. Yep, wow, I'll read that
after Tom. It's Marcus could heave again?

Speaker 3 (01:48:28):
Welcome Yes, kadeering Marcus, Tom here, Hi Tom, very interesting
experience with chet GPT. I downloaded the app some tome
deck that we bought a new washing machine, the um Tongue,
and it's all it needs a computer technician for the

(01:48:49):
jolly things to that extent, And I'm eighty three year old, thinking,
how the hell does this one? What similar? How does
this thing work? You go online and you download the
manual and that's not very helpful at all. Just couldn't
get the telly thing to work yesterday. So this morning,

(01:49:11):
after sleeping on it and talking to our son and
Ossie said, talk to chats DPT and we had chosen
a female voice on the chet GPT and I called
her Rosie and I said, so, I called Rosie and
I said, Rosie, look, we've got a problem with us,

(01:49:32):
him saying, washing machine. We can't get it to work.
I gave it the model number, read it out to
her and I said, can you talk us through how
this thing works? Please? Well she talked us through perfectly.
Where you got the washing machine going perfectly this morning?
Where as heavy as Larry?

Speaker 2 (01:49:53):
What a great? What a great?

Speaker 12 (01:49:54):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (01:49:55):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (01:49:57):
Is it a frontloader or a top loader?

Speaker 3 (01:50:00):
It's a front loader and it's all computerized, so you
know it's brand new, delivered yesterday, and that you need
to be a compeded technician to operate the jolly.

Speaker 2 (01:50:12):
But when you say computerise, it doesn't operate off an
air but it's just you just touch buttons on the machine.

Speaker 13 (01:50:17):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (01:50:19):
Yeah, you've got to You've got a screen now on
the on the front, and you've got to decipher for
each of the logos and and what that's going to
do for you. And then you've got a dial to
give you all the other options of a cotton washed,
synthetic wash and long wash, short wash and all of

(01:50:40):
those different things.

Speaker 16 (01:50:41):
On a dial.

Speaker 3 (01:50:42):
So just for a couple of uh seniors and the
advanced years just took a little bit of to be
on it. Yeah, after having a previous Fisher cycle that
you tended, tend the knobs and pressed out.

Speaker 2 (01:50:59):
And it was easy. There's a couple of things. There's
a couple of things I want to say. Certainly, I mean,
you got delivered. There'll be no person will deliver it
and show you how it works these days. But what
I'm interested in compared to your last washing machine, does
the fact that it's got a touch stream? Is it
any better? Or they just made it complicated for the

(01:51:20):
sake of it.

Speaker 3 (01:51:22):
I don't know. It just seems a little bit more
complicated that I suppose. Really, it's just advanced technology. It's
just the way the world's going, you know. It's once
you get your head around it. As I say, Rosie
talks you through, it's pretty simple.

Speaker 2 (01:51:41):
And so next time next you're up to speed. Now
you wouldn't need Rosie again.

Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
No, no, no, we're all speed now.

Speaker 17 (01:51:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:51:49):
She talked her through it and explained every every symbol
and every everything every which way, and now we won't
neither again.

Speaker 2 (01:51:57):
So I can't think why a washing machine would need
to because I'm looking at it now. It's just got
one for temperature, one for uh is a spiral. What
does the spiral mean?

Speaker 3 (01:52:07):
Well, that's the spin that's different spin spin speeds, and
then you've got a temperature gate and you can choose
your temperature for your water until it goes on.

Speaker 2 (01:52:20):
I've want to worry about different spin speeds. Do you
want to yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:52:24):
Yeah, okay, yeah, well yeah, I guess you know you
want to close to be as dry as possible before
you hang them on the line again. But all of
those symbols, it just takes takes a little bit in
your head around and how what each one means and
the adjustment for it. As I say, you know, four

(01:52:45):
y degrees or a spin cycle that I can't remember
the revolutions to a minute.

Speaker 2 (01:52:51):
Now I can see them now, twelve hundred, four hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:52:56):
Yeah that's right. Yeah, yeah, So you've got all those
options which you just didn't have any old.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
No you didn't need them, No, you didn't really need
We need to do with balance your load, otherwise it'd
make it something who.

Speaker 3 (01:53:14):
Just did everything else and you just took your clothes
and hang them on the line.

Speaker 2 (01:53:20):
Good luck, Tom, lovely cool, Thank you Andy, it's Marcus.

Speaker 12 (01:53:24):
Good evening, good evening.

Speaker 24 (01:53:26):
Yes, I'll give you a rundown on my washing machine experience.
Quite a few years ago, we had a it was
a gentle Anny. We got it from a good deal,
but it didn't wash as good as a white Way
four hundred, so we got rid of it. And now,

(01:53:48):
probably eighteen years fifteen to sixteen years ago, I bought
a top load of Samsung at a garage sale for
forty dollars and I can't kill it. It's still going.
I used it today, it's still going strong. And I've
got I've actually got quite a new one in reserve,
as it were, in case it goes wrong. But it

(01:54:10):
won't die.

Speaker 2 (01:54:13):
It actually sounds like you want it to die.

Speaker 24 (01:54:15):
Well, I've got a nice new hire there waiting to
be used, and I can't use it. I decided there's
no point using it. Let the other one die and
then I'll put the new one in. You see, but
it won't die on me. So what brand to have
a funeral?

Speaker 2 (01:54:36):
What brand is the one that won't die?

Speaker 24 (01:54:38):
The Samsung. It's only a small four and a half
KD top loader.

Speaker 2 (01:54:44):
I surprise that guy with the front loader. I think
front loaders are the devil's machine.

Speaker 24 (01:54:49):
You well, it's see. I'm from England originally, and in
England everyone uses front loaders. I don't know why, but
they just do because they have smaller houses and they
fit under the bench. I think that's why.

Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
I think you're probably right. Yeah, but they don't have
I don't have front loaders because it's got the dryer
and as well.

Speaker 13 (01:55:08):
Is that right?

Speaker 24 (01:55:10):
A lot of them have got dryers built in. Yes, yeah, okay,
But as I say, won't die. When it does die,
I'll ring up and I'll do an r ip.

Speaker 2 (01:55:18):
On my side, I promise, because it'll never happen. How
old do you think it is? How old was it
when you bought it? You have no idea, would you?

Speaker 24 (01:55:24):
Well, I've had it fifteen years. It must have been
five or six years. It's got to be twenty I
would say, it's got to be easy. Twenty years must be.

Speaker 2 (01:55:32):
What goes wrong with washing machines when.

Speaker 24 (01:55:33):
They do die, Well, you can get block pumps, you
can get bearing seas because I actually used to repair
them in the early days.

Speaker 2 (01:55:43):
Oh, A great question to ask you there is probably.

Speaker 24 (01:55:45):
A motor motor fought, but normally the pumps go because
you can get people that don't empty the coins out.
You can get like a coin, it'll go into the
pump and it'll stop it from turning, you see, so
that then the machine won't pump the water out.

Speaker 2 (01:56:01):
I've always had trouble with toothpecks, have always gotten to
the pump.

Speaker 24 (01:56:04):
Yeah, you're you're you're quite picky there, aren't you.

Speaker 2 (01:56:07):
Well, yeah, I guess so, yeah, no toothpicks.

Speaker 24 (01:56:11):
I've never had that problem, haven't you.

Speaker 2 (01:56:12):
Oh, I think there were servicemen said it was quite common,
so I felt that would be right within your bread basket.
But yeah, I don't know why that would have been.

Speaker 24 (01:56:19):
Well, I was in England a long time. Perhaps they
don't use so many toothpicks. But coins, coins are the
ones that get in their coins.

Speaker 2 (01:56:28):
Maybe you let us know when it goes. You're on
Sam something Andy, Thank you. Marcus is always just a
quick wash shortcut that usually only requires pressing two buttons.
Germany may be free, but the questions you ask ken
be used to create a profile of you, providing useful
information for advertisers to target their advertising I'm grateful about
what I asked because I don't want to be swamped

(01:56:48):
with emails, or I'm careful at what I asked. I
want to be swapped with emails or messenger things, text
offering things.

Speaker 14 (01:56:57):
E g.

Speaker 2 (01:56:57):
If I asked the best way I can lose weight,
or received heaps of suggested groups. You want to get
on with. Govy Marcus currently use GPHT for commercial use.
For access, you pay forty dollars a month free good

(01:57:19):
did post a business plan and detailed web page. Attempt
to getting into more specific detail. Run out of access.
I think next step eighty dollars worth every cent. Tim
did anyone predict Alice Robinson winning a medal in the Superjet?
And I don't think anyone did predict that. I didn't
watch any of the Olympics today, so I said I

(01:57:41):
watch them something in my throat. Unlike me, I watched
them Uppets, which.

Speaker 17 (01:57:45):
Was very.

Speaker 2 (01:57:47):
I couldn't work out what was wrong with it, but
it was unwatchable and I don't know if this I don't. Yeah,
it made me very much question what made the show
good fifty years ago? But I had the two old
men and the young guy organizing the show. It was
the same old stick, but just and maybe our brains
have been reprogrammed in the last fifty years. It's eighteen

(01:58:13):
past leven chat GPT and the Clifton Campground and anything
else tonight that you want to talk about. It's your show.
Remember that bought a secondhand top load of Sampson sixteen
years ago. I can't kill it either, makes those sense.
You brought a new washer, use it. The warranty will
be running out. Front loaders are definitely evil or the

(01:58:34):
problem mind when I use a front loader. I chucked
it in with my car keys in the pocket and
then it was full up and they wanted my car
keys to go to work and they're in the wet
and there was a battery car key and I was
completely panicked. I resolved it, but I can't remember how
it wasn't fun. Nineteen past eleven, twenty one past eleven. Oh,

(01:58:55):
there is cricket Italy versus Nepal. Nepal appears to be
eighty one for three. When I say appears, they're eighty
two for three. Now I think they have they're not
chasing anyone. I think they've probably gone first. Do we
care about Nepal versus Italy. It feels like two minnows,
doesn't it. No one watching, sorry, I mean no one

(01:59:16):
in the stadium. We are talking AI and camping grounds
underneath cliffs looks like now the one Clifton, the key
is the name is vulnerable and people have been asked
to leave, which hasn't gone down at all. Well, it
seems as though it's been a crisis of comms. Haven't
really been explained, haven't been told very clearly why they

(01:59:36):
are doing that really big rain tomorrow too. There's a
lot of talk tomorrow about the floods. I'll be on
deck for that, I hope if it doesn't come to anything. Oh,
by the way, how are we with SkyTV? I've got
Sky TV who are trying to reward me for long
service with some of the least exciting rewards I've come

(02:00:00):
across in my life. And what they've reminded me about
is how long I've been with them and how much
they haven't cared. So by actually ringing me up and
offering me like reduced Wi Fi which we don't even have,
they've really made me feel. They've made me feel quite
negative about the whole experience. So it seems to me

(02:00:23):
to be a ridiculous tactic. You either ring up and say, hey,
you've been a subscriber for twenty five years, we're going
to give you this, but you don't try and say
we're going to give you something for four months. I mean,
to be offered something underwhelming for long service, I think
it's worse than to be offered nothing. So I've thought
about that a day or two because I can't believe
how bad customer service is. And I wonder if other

(02:00:45):
people have been in that circumstance long. And I don't
want to bang on about overseas call centers, but if
it's complicated and discussing things like Wi Fi and data
and stuff like that, and it's not at poor phone line,
and it's from someone that's really hard to understand, and
it's on a cell phone, it's not a good experience

(02:01:06):
for me. And what happens. I miss a call, so
I call them back I was in a meeting and
say look, I've missed a call. Then they ask you
thirty questions who you are and your dad of birth.
I'm thinking, well, it's Tonny Sky. Who would pretend to
call someone from Sky? You need to be daft? Twenty

(02:01:29):
five past eleven, Casper, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 21 (02:01:32):
Are you calling me daft?

Speaker 2 (02:01:34):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 21 (02:01:35):
Oh okay, that's nice. How are you made all right?

Speaker 2 (02:01:37):
Yeah? Well good, yeah good.

Speaker 3 (02:01:39):
Hey, you'd be the.

Speaker 21 (02:01:41):
Man with some information for me. How is the oyster season?

Speaker 3 (02:01:44):
Looking down your way? This season?

Speaker 21 (02:01:47):
The oysters give you any whisper on the street, they
come along the right, big beads to them all.

Speaker 6 (02:01:52):
What's going on?

Speaker 23 (02:01:53):
Evening?

Speaker 2 (02:01:56):
It's always really hard to tell. I was around seeing
a maid of mine yesterday, and he's an oysterman as
long as anyone's been anis to men, and muh, he
just he just shakes his head and then drizzles, and

(02:02:19):
I'm not even quite sure what. I don't think he's
going out this year, and so so I don't fully know.
You know, there's a there's always people talking it up. Okay,
but they've got but they've got a financial interest, and
they're probably talking it up as they do the last harvest,
ever before they've pulled the last one out. So I

(02:02:41):
really don't know. You know, there's certainly conflicting information, and
information you get is that it has not been you know,
I think the last year was pretty and the guy
says he's he doesn't want to be out there sifting
through bloody there's some bloody that, and bloody olds and
bloody old that crap on the seafloor and and starfish

(02:03:02):
to yees. So I think it's hard work out there
to find them, and I think lost them and it's
frustrating to do that.

Speaker 21 (02:03:08):
Okay, that's good. Now, next question, what are you getting
up to on Valentine's Day.

Speaker 2 (02:03:14):
I'll be softbul for the kids. I think that'll be
the start for that, and nothing for the wife. Nothing
at this stage. I'll keep you posted though.

Speaker 21 (02:03:21):
Okay, that's nice. I've just forgetting about it.

Speaker 2 (02:03:24):
That's and I'm fully aware of that.

Speaker 12 (02:03:26):
Yep.

Speaker 21 (02:03:27):
Okay, now that's great. Now, that's awful tonight, Thank you
very much, because.

Speaker 2 (02:03:31):
I know I know the you know the season starts
the first of March, don't you.

Speaker 12 (02:03:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (02:03:37):
I used to buy a lot of seconds, lot and
the pottles a lot when I was at when I
was at Carrier Pace, I used to get all the
orders and we used to get about fifty or sixty
dozens of seconds for all the carriers and the staff
and that, but over the recent years that the list
you know is as long as your arm twenty times

(02:03:58):
over for seconds.

Speaker 2 (02:04:00):
Yeah, okay, look, I'll keep you posted. But yeah, it's
I think it's probably a hard situation for me because
it's such a it's a resource that the people of
Bluff very proud of. It kind of gives it gives them,
you know, it's famous. Also, it's of a huge financial
boon to the town because a lot of people are

(02:04:21):
employed to open them, and a lot of people there
are oystermen, so there's a lot of people's livelihoods are
dependent of it. And also it's incredibly important for the
branding in South and in Vicago people cut. So it's
quite a I find it quite a complicated question to
answer because it's really hard to get it's really hard
to get proper information about it. That would that's probable
I can say about that.

Speaker 21 (02:04:41):
Yeah, do you eat them? Yeah, that's beautiful. I could
eat them by the bottle one after another.

Speaker 2 (02:04:47):
Absolutely, yeah I could and do.

Speaker 6 (02:04:50):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:04:51):
Nice to hear. Casper hap Ast Eleven, Dave Marcus welcome.

Speaker 6 (02:04:56):
Yeah here you go. Hey, good Because it's all right
for you to say you don't know how the oyster sees.

Speaker 22 (02:05:04):
Well.

Speaker 2 (02:05:04):
I do, though, because I've come around from conversations just yesterday.

Speaker 6 (02:05:08):
Oh and the the thing is that nobody really knows
until I suppose you're out there and dredging and what
you making the size of them. And I'm not sure
why both both feeds I had last season. I always
get to feed the season four dollars each year, they
were sort of tasteless. I was disappointed, Marcus, and then

(02:05:31):
I was blaming the fish and chippery, which is my famous,
my favorite fish and chippery that I go to ensure.
And I didn't know whom to lay the blame at.
Maybe yeah, they they just tasted waters, say, as if
they had been washed and flushed in fresh water. Couldn't
work it out. I love new feed the voices, and I.

Speaker 2 (02:05:52):
Don't necessarily think you'd be alone in those views.

Speaker 6 (02:05:56):
Marcus. I was disappointed with Sky. I was with him
for seven years. I transferred a moved from Barrington Sprayed
into where I am in South New Brighton, and they
were going to charge me. It's only one hundred dollars,
but I figure it was the point of the matter.
I argued the case. I said, no, well, I've been

(02:06:16):
with you a long time. Just put the wiring up
and the dish was already there. All you had do
was run a wire. Oh, they said we had to
send a serviceman to hook it up. And I'm like, well,
I'm not going to pay one hundred dollars. And I
stood by it, and I was now and declared I
didn't and I didn't, and they wouldn't let it go.
So I let them go after seven years of being

(02:06:38):
a loyal Sky customer. They're difficult to deal with, contemptuous
and arrogant, and I just had a gutsful of dealing
with them. And they shifting from christ Shets. They're no
longer based in Birmingham Drive Marcus. I don't even know
where they're based there. I don't anythink they're based in
New Zealand. But that's my story on Scott.

Speaker 2 (02:07:01):
And the thing is, you're probably some one that would
love it. Are you cutting off your nose to spite
your face?

Speaker 6 (02:07:06):
But I still by principles and market I'm not I'm
not listening that ninety dollars Because I had the my Sky,
I had pretty much anything anyhow. The Muppets and Folkhorn
Leghorn I've got farm memories of Foghorn, leg Horn and
the road Runner, and the old day cartoons where we

(02:07:29):
could have a bit of a laugh because everything wasn't
so serious as it seems to have got today this
day and age. Where they walk, they seem to walk
on egg cells. In case some I should take offense,
I don't think south Park, do Dave, No, I'm not
talking about south Park the modern day cartoons.

Speaker 2 (02:07:52):
I think it's what I think literally, that's what south
Park is.

Speaker 6 (02:07:55):
Yes it is, but I'm talking more so in the
morning shows.

Speaker 3 (02:07:59):
As a.

Speaker 6 (02:08:02):
There's notoriously more adult and audience.

Speaker 2 (02:08:06):
I've never heard of folk call a leg horn.

Speaker 6 (02:08:10):
That dog. I say that dog is as sharp as
a bowling ball. Cog He used to give the dog assholes.

Speaker 2 (02:08:20):
Good need voices, Dave, This Maverra night. When our sun
was eighteen months old, we brought a Maytag washing machine.
Was expensive, just over two thousand dollars. Replaced the drum.
After fifteen years of years, our son is almost thirty six,
and our machine is going like new. You can't beat
clockwork functions?

Speaker 12 (02:08:35):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (02:08:36):
Clockwork? Marcus are the same call from Sky asday offering
free internet as a reward for my long service. Too
much trouble to change in that provides us how I declined,
