Hi everyone, I'm John C. Morley Serial Entrepreneur, the host of
The JMOR Tech Talk Show and Inspirations
for Your Life.
(00:52):
Hey everyone, it is John Seymourley here, serial
entrepreneur.
It's great to be with you on another
fantastic, fabulous Friday.
It's October 10, 2025, if you're watching this
live, and you've tuned into The JMOR
Tech Talk Show, the show that tells you
all about technology, the things you need to
(01:12):
be aware of, and some other great, cool
insights that are always fun to learn about.
If you're new here, I want to take
the opportunity to say thank you and welcome
from the bottom of my heart.
If you are coming out here and you've
been here many times, well, welcome back.
Thank you so much for being here, really
do appreciate that.
If you miss the show or any other
(01:33):
shows, or you want to catch any of
my short-form content or my long-form
content, why not trot on over to BelieveMeAchieved
.com, that is after the show.
Hey guys, if you're thirsty, feel free to
go grab yourself something from the kitchen, maybe
some water, maybe something like a snack, fruit,
nuts, chocolate, peanuts, whatever.
Feel free to get that and come on
(01:54):
back to the show.
All right, guys, without any further ado, let's
go ahead and get this show off the
ground.
Are you ready, guys?
All right.
So again, welcome to The JMOR Tech
Talk Show.
It's so great to have you here.
As a serial entrepreneur, engineer, video producer, marketing
specialist, keynote speaker, graduate student, podcast host, and
(02:18):
coach, and of course, a passionate lifelong learner,
I enjoy diving deep into some great stories
that shape our digital and technical world.
My mission, to spark curiosity, empower conversation, and
fuel your journey to, yes, BelieveMeAchieved.com so
(02:40):
you can learn more about what's going on.
Learning is not something we just do once.
It's something we have to keep evolving to
do.
I always say, as long as we're breathing,
we should be learning.
All right, so our first point is a
really good one, and that is escape or
be trapped.
Just hours left in Gaza.
(03:01):
Yes, Gaza City was facing its most desperate
hours as residents were warned, and it's a
now or never situation to get out.
With roads blocked and deadly airstrikes amidst intensifying,
the world watches as civilians try to escape
a fate sealed by war.
(03:23):
Would you risk it all for one last
chance at freedom?
I don't know.
That's what this is all about, and I
know one thing.
All those people there, I could say it's
not a happy time for them to have
to just pick up and to leave.
Just crazy.
(03:44):
Hospitals, schools, and shelter sites are all under
fire as the offensive accelerates, and humanitarian groups
warn the situation is rapidly increasing and getting
worse.
The Trump-backed peace proposal remains unaccepted as
Hamas holds firm.
Civilians face desperation and disaster as the city
(04:04):
is encircling, and the escape routes are starting
to vanish.
Oh, boy.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, big money, bigger trouble.
A court showdown for Mr. Elon Musk.
Elon Musk isn't just making headlines for rockets
(04:25):
and cars now, he's in a bit of
a predicament in a legal battle over his
Twitter stock buy.
As the SEC holds him to account in
DC, it's a showdown that could redefine what
power and accountability look like for the world's
richest.
(04:46):
So, I think this is an interesting story,
interesting trend, and Musk loses the court bid
for the SEC lawsuit over the Twitter stake
that's a stay in DC.
The federal judge just rejected Elon Musk's claim
that he's too busy to face the SEC
lawsuit in Washington DC over his late disclosure
(05:08):
of buying Twitter shares.
Musk argued for Texas, but the judge said
his global schedule and considerable means don't justify
a move.
The case claims Musk's delay let him buy
500 million shares at a discount, with the
SEC seeking 150 million, and of course, a
(05:29):
pretty hefty fine.
Musk is trying to toss the case, but
for now, the court is staying, well, in
the Capitol.
So, I think this is not over.
It's going to be going on for quite
a while, guys, and just because you're the
richest man or lady doesn't mean that you
can be above the law.
(05:52):
So, will Taiwan's tech strategy rewrite trade within
the United States?
Well, Taiwan is moving the chess pieces on
the board in a global tech, forging bold
alliances with the United States to keep its
semiconductor crown.
As a global set of tensions continue to
(06:15):
mount, their latest moves trigger a shift in
the tech and the trade balance between the
East and the West.
Again, this is more of a power struggle.
I think this is what it's about.
So, Taiwan is exploring new high-tech strategic
partners with the U.S., forcing them to
(06:36):
look at other places, like now focusing on
expanding U.S. production capacity without relocating supply
chains.
The goal for them is to build, quote
-unquote, industrial clusters, close quote, through joint Taiwan
-U.S. cooperation, boosting investment and supply chain
resilience.
Taiwan seeks tariff cuts on exports to the
(06:57):
United States while maintaining its domestic chip manufacturing
dominance, led by TSMC, which is investing $165
billion in the U.S. chip factories, Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation.
Taiwan aims to remain rooted locally while expanding
globally in the industrial cooperation with the United
(07:21):
States despite tensions and some of the global
uncertainty.
So, although they're helping us get ahead, I
think there's things that we have to be
concerned about.
Are we doing the right thing for America?
Are we doing the right thing for the
American people?
I think that's what it really comes down
to at the end of the day.
I think that's a very, very big thing.
(07:43):
And I think a lot of people are
not really, how can I say, aware of
that particular situation.
But it's something I think that everybody needs
to be aware of.
It's not something that just happens in one
day, but it's something that I think people
(08:03):
need to understand why this is going on
this way.
What is the whole purpose?
Does it have a reason?
Or is it just about controlling money?
And that's always possible, guys.
It's always possible.
But I think most people want to do
things for the greater good of all concerned.
(08:24):
I think most people do.
But I will tell you that sometimes that
doesn't always go well.
That does not always go well.
And I think that's a problem for a
lot of people to understand, that it really
takes time to understand what's going on, what
people are doing, why people are doing certain
(08:46):
things.
And again, it may all seem about control.
I mean, I know that's what everything is
about control.
But I have to believe that it's got
to be for something better than that.
It's got to be for something to hopefully
help the greater good of the American people.
I think that's what it's got to be
about.
But it's important that we understand that.
(09:06):
And when I say understand, that I mean
that in a way that hopefully gets us
to understand what's around us, what the infrastructure
is like, and things like that.
I think those are really important things to
understand.
And when we understand that, it's like we
start to recognize what's happening in our lives.
(09:29):
I think that's a big thing for a
lot of people, is to understand what's going
on, and why is it happening, and why
is it transcribing now.
If it's happening later, then that could be
a problem for a lot of people.
But then again, if it isn't, then again,
(09:51):
that could be a big issue.
It could be a big issue.
But I want to tell you, it's important
for you to understand these things, all right?
Really, really, really.
And so ladies and gentlemen, every chat now
fuels your feed.
Would you give up privacy for some perks?
(10:14):
Well, Meta is taking personalization to new levels,
using your AI chat history to tailor ads
and content like never before.
With no way to opt out, the question
is, how much privacy would you sacrifice for
a more custom experience?
I wouldn't want to sacrifice any of it.
(10:36):
And I think you've got to be careful
the information you share with any AI system,
including Meta, because we've seen that they have
been very, how can I say, brutal in
their game in trying to get ahead.
And for them, it's all about money.
It's all about the date and how much
they can sell it to people for it.
So Meta AI chats, power personalized ads is
(11:00):
what it's about.
And it starts December of 2025.
Meta will use every conversation with its AI
to tailor the content and ads across Facebook
and Instagram platforms.
If you interact with Meta AI, your chat
topics help shape what shows up in your
feed, even in reels and ads with no
opt out insight.
(11:20):
Sensitive topics like health and religion won't be
used for ads, thankfully.
But everything else is, well, fair game for
personalization.
And the rollout covers most regions except the
United Kingdom and the European Union and South
Korea, making a massive shift in how Meta
leverages chat data for target advertising.
I think what that means is Meta's afraid
(11:42):
that they're going to get sued with those
other countries.
The United States is not on the ball
with that.
Like, they feel they can pull more over
on the United States.
I don't think it's a great thing, guys.
But for whatever reason, they are trying to
pull things over on the US.
So again, that is a very, very big
problem.
(12:02):
And I want to let you know that
it's something we have to be concerned about.
If we're not concerned about it, then, well,
that's a very, very big problem.
Okay, it's a very, very big problem, because
(12:23):
if you don't understand that, then you're probably
going to be like, well, what is that?
Right.
I mean, I think that's what I think
that's what it comes down to.
Like, you know, what is that?
And what is that is something that I
can tell you is just a little bit
crazy at the moment.
Right.
(12:44):
Maybe you're saying that this is nuts.
And I'm saying that we've got to protect
our data.
Everyone out there is trying to get a
part of our data.
I was somebody the other day, and I
was learning that in China, they actually do
a little bit more than facial recognition.
(13:06):
Some people might actually, you know, cover the
face or put a mask on it.
They use something called your gate.
So what the heck is a gate?
Um, how do I explain this?
What if I asked somebody like what, you
know, what is what is a person's gate?
(13:26):
So a gate has to do with a
walking pattern of movement.
It's the style of coordinated movements involving the
legs, the feet and the arms that propel
the body forward.
A person's gate, that's G-A-I-T,
by the way, is unique and can be
affected by factors like age, injuries, neurological conditions,
(13:46):
and of course, the footwear you're wearing.
So in China, what they do is they
have a digital representation of the person and
they track the person's gate, G-A-I
-T.
So now what they're doing, if let's say
somebody doesn't want to be tracked, so they
might wear a different shoe that makes them
walk differently.
So this way they're not picked up because
(14:09):
the first time they were picked up.
So again, anything that it can pattern, it
links.
So it just happens one time, the system
has no way to pattern that.
I think tracking somebody's gate, I think that's
very personal.
And I think that could cause more complications
as we, um, as we progress forward.
(14:31):
More privacy issues and things like that.
So guys, from app developer to warlord, can
AI change the battlefield?
That's the big multi-million dollar question.
A Silicon Valley maverick is turning heads and
raising some eyebrows by building an AI powered
(14:52):
gun turret for the Pentagon.
When gaming tech becomes real world defense, are
we on the cusp of a revolution in
warfare or something far riskier?
Yeah, I think AI has some potential, but
I think sometimes we put it in a
(15:14):
way that it can't really be, I don't
know, safeguard.
Silicon Valley warlord as it takes the Pentagon
by storm with this AI gun startup.
The former restaurant tech entrepreneur, Stephen Simone, pivoted
from QR codes to co-founding Allen Control
(15:34):
Systems, now building the Bullfrog, an AI powered
machine gun turret that targets drones.
Ouch.
Backed by 40 million and Pentagon buzz, Simone's
blend of brash marketing and rapid prototypes landed
military contracts and wired the startup into DC's
(15:57):
new tech elite.
The Bullfrog can swivel and shoot down drones
in seconds, they claim, aiming to solve urgent
battlefield dangers as the US races to out
innovate global adversaries.
Now, the thing I should tell you before
I was talking about China, where did China
learn about that security?
(16:18):
Are you wondering?
Us, the United States of America, we're pretty
smart.
And a lot of these other countries are
trying to dip into our knowledge wells to
see what they can do.
And the biggest Game Pass price hike ever
is now upon us.
Are the perks worth the discomfort and some
of the pain?
(16:38):
Gamers are reeled in as Microsoft has jacked
up Game Pass ultimate pricing with new games
and cloud perks promised.
The question remains, will you stay loyal?
Or is gaming becoming a luxury only a
few can afford?
That's a very interesting predicament, guys.
(17:01):
So Microsoft just hiked its top Xbox Game
Pass ultimate subscription to $29.99 a month,
a $10 jump while adding more first day
releases and premium cloud gaming.
Even with added perks, the sharp price increase
has gamers in the industry buzzing about the
new cost of all access to play.
(17:22):
Is this going to be the end?
No, I think they'll keep trying to raise
the price because if they can get it,
they'll change it.
So we'll have to stay abreast of what's
going on with that, guys.
SpaceCoin versus Starlink.
Will blockchain break the satellite monopoly?
Startup beamed blockchain data through space.
(17:45):
Targeting Starlink's reign as satellite king recently.
Is this blip or is it the first
shot in a battlefield?
For decentralization of the internet freedom.
Would you trust your data to a single
bold satellite?
No way.
(18:05):
No way.
No way.
So as I said, SpaceCoin starts up and
sends data through space and has pulled off
a first in the industry, sending secure blockchain
data through space by a satellite.
Bypassing terrestrial internet entirely.
(18:26):
Unlike Starlink's centralized approach, SpaceCoin is building a
decentralized network where anyone can move payments and
data worldwide, targeting regions with unreliable or censored
internet.
In a test, SpaceCoin's data traveled 7,000
kilometers from Chile to the Azores in seconds.
Still with just one satellite so far, it's
(18:48):
a bold move against Starlink's 8,000 strong
mega constellation.
That doesn't say Starlink's going anywhere, but I
do think this company is going to give
Mr. Elon Musk's a little run for the
money.
And ladies and gentlemen, electric dreams cost more.
Can EVs, that's electric vehicles, can they survive
(19:10):
without tax breaks?
I don't know.
Tesla and other electric vehicle manufacturers are raising
lease prices now that federal credits have suddenly
vanished.
With green driving slipping further out of reach,
will America shift to, let's say, electric slow
(19:32):
down or speed up in the response?
I don't know, guys.
I think this is something that is, I'll
say, a moving target and something that we
have to all be aware of.
But as I said, Tesla hikes prices after
the electric vehicle tax credit ends.
(19:53):
In the United States, since the 7,500
federal electric vehicle tax credit expired, Model Y
leases jumped to $529 to $599 per month,
up from $479 to $529.
While Model 3 now runs $429 to $759
(20:17):
per month.
The move comes as Tesla's U.S. market
share falls and demand slows with analysts warning
electric vehicle sales may dip without federal incentives.
Does this mean that the federal government's gonna
have to put things back?
I don't know.
But speaking about the federal government, you know,
(20:39):
is the federal government still closed?
Unfortunately, the government shutdown reaches the 10th yet.
And this is crazy, guys.
The shutdown-related firings start to begin.
White House Budget Chief Russell Vaught announced to
(21:02):
the government that he has started firing federal
workers as the shutdown drags on.
So far, it appears the Department of Treasury,
Education and Health and Human Services are among
those that are first impacted.
Still may continue as the government shutdown is
on track to extend it to next week.
Congress remains deadlocked on a funding plan and
(21:24):
the Senate isn't scheduled to hold any votes
until Tuesday.
The House is now out of session.
Missed paychecks for troops?
It's now seeming almost certain that military members
won't get their next paychecks, which were on
schedule to go out Wednesday.
House Democrats attempted but failed to gain recognition
on the floor recently today to advance legislation
(21:48):
that would have guaranteed pay for US troops
during the shutdown.
Virginia Democrats blast Trump admin's move to lay
off federal workers in shutdown as a deliberate
choice.
Democratic Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, who
represent a large federal workforce in Virginia, blasted
the Trump administration's move to fire federal workers
(22:11):
during a shutdown accusing the administration of using
public servants as pawns.
Donald Trump and Russ Baut are once again
showing us exactly who they are.
Reckless ideologues willing to inflict real pain or
discomfort on hardworking Americans to score political points.
Now, a thing I thought was very interesting,
(22:31):
the other day I was going to a
fundraiser dinner, you're going to love this.
And so the bank I went to doesn't
really matter, but I went to one bank,
went to two of the ATMs, the one
outside, the one inside, and guess what?
Red light was on.
They probably had no money.
I went to the next bank, same bank,
(22:52):
wasn't too far up the road.
And the one inside, the one outside was
red, it had no money.
So they were closing the bank and the
people were walking out and I said, what's
going on?
Like, what happened with the money?
Oh, we were supposed to get the money
yesterday, on Monday, of, I guess, because of
the federal shutdown, we're not getting deliveries.
(23:14):
So why are banks not getting money from
the government?
I mean, that's probably a big question.
So they claim that they're still putting money
(23:34):
out there.
But again, the government, the local people, who
need to put this through, rely on the
federal people.
So they had no money.
And they probably won't have money next Monday
again.
And then some banks had some extra reserve,
but pretty soon they're going to run out
(23:55):
of money too.
And this is kind of wacky, if you
ask me, you know, why, and this is
a big question, why are many banks not
having money for ATMs?
I mean, I think that's a big question
right now.
Due to the decline, use of cash, shift
(24:16):
to digital payments and rising operational costs, it's
led banks to be closing their own ATMs
and outsource to third-party networks, which may
have lower cash reserves or charge higher fees.
The question is, is this really about the
government shutdown or is it something else?
Are they trying to get people to stop
(24:37):
using cash?
Well, they're definitely making it harder to get
a hold of cash.
So I was going to this event and
I need to have cash on hand for
like the valet and a bartender, et cetera.
And so I wound up going to CVS.
Oh no, was it CVS or was it,
I think I went to, no, I think
I went, I either went to CVS or
I went, I think I might've went to,
(24:57):
yeah, I went to CVS.
And so I went there and I bought
a pack of gum and then I got
20 bucks.
I did another pack of gum and I
got 20 bucks.
So that's crazy that I had to be
resourceful to do that, right?
And so people have asked me, is the
reason that banks have no money the shutdown?
(25:20):
And I think that's a very clear thing
to say.
And so what the government is saying is
that a government shutdown is not the reason
banks are lacking money.
Commercial banks, including those insured by the FDIC,
offer independently of the federal funding that is
affecting us right now during the government shutdown.
(25:42):
So they're blaming it on that, okay?
But really guys, it has nothing to do
with that.
So this is all just a convoluted mess
that everybody's kind of getting into.
So I thought I would share that with
you.
And Disney bites back, guys.
AI chat has gone too far, they claim.
(26:02):
After AI bots in Disney's likeness were caught
in scandal, the Mouse House fired off a
cease and desist to protect its brand and
children everywhere.
In a world where AI can be anyone
who keeps the digital world safe for kids
(26:23):
is really what it's about.
And so when we think about all these
things, we don't realize implications.
But Disney sent out a cease and desist
letter to character.ai demanding it remove all
Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel chat bots after
reports of, quote unquote, adult exploitation, grooming, and
(26:48):
emotional manipulation of children using AI-based characters.
Disney says the app's conduct is egregious and
threatens legal action if infringement continues.
Character.ai removed the bots, but Disney warns
its fight to protect brand safety and kids
(27:08):
is far from over.
So it seems like they're sending a message
up the pike, but this might not be
really the end.
It claims like it's not going to be.
Apple stands firm.
Diversity isn't dead.
Apple's investors just shut down a move to
(27:29):
kill off diversity efforts, overwhelming backing the AI
and tech.
While other giants bail, Apple is betting its
strength coming from talent across every single background.
Can inclusion win in Silicon Valley?
I don't know, but I think that's what
(27:50):
we're asking right now is the case of
inclusion.
So Apple shareholders rejected a proposal to scrap
the diversity, equity, and inclusion proposal policy.
Over 97 votes voted to keep the program,
defying political pressure and recent rollbacks at other
tech giants.
CEO Tim Cook says, quote, Apple's strength comes
(28:13):
from collaboration, hiring the very best people from
diverse backgrounds, quote.
As Trump's push to dismantle DEI sweeps corporate
America, Apple doubles down and investors clearly back
the strategy.
So this is a little bit crazy.
So does that say that Apple, you know,
(28:34):
doesn't want DEI?
It doesn't want to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion.
So this is clear.
It doesn't want to eliminate it.
It does want to keep it in the
wraps.
And only 3% of the stock members
voted against it.
(28:55):
So that's actually pretty good.
More companies should probably be on the bandwagon
to actually be treating people properly.
And tracking ICE, yes, the app freedom, or
is it a security risk?
ICE tracking apps are fueling a heated legal
battle in the United States.
Are they tools for the public safety?
(29:17):
Or are they a threat to law enforcement?
As court's way first amendment rights and the
freedom against security fears, which right will win
out?
I think that's a big problem.
I think it's a big question for a
lot of people.
What's it about?
So ICE tracking apps spark some legal debate
(29:40):
and fight, but the ban, guys, looks unlikely.
The U.S. government is blasting ICE tracking
apps like Ice Block, accusing them of endangering
agents and fueling attacks.
Despite harsh rhetoric and threats from top officials,
legal experts say a ban is unlikely.
The apps are built in the United States
(30:01):
and protected by the first amendment, much like
police scanners.
While Department of Homeland Security claims a thousand
percent spike in attacks on ICE, most users
rely on the apps for safety, leaving federal
efforts to ban them stuck in a constitutional
gridlock.
So the question is, did Apple remove ICE
(30:25):
apps from their store?
And got some news for you.
Guess what?
Apple took down the ICE tracking apps.
So we're going to do everything in our
power to fight this, says ICE Block developer,
Joshua Aaron, after Apple removed his app from
(30:46):
the app store.
Eyes up, one of the many immigration and
customs enforcement-related apps removed by Apple in
recent days was busy on this past Wednesday
evening at a local planning session for the
nationwide No Kings protest, scheduled for later this
month.
(31:06):
When a publication recently and other news bureaus
had checked in, they reached him by phone
and asked to be only identified by his
first name, Mark for safety reasons.
The administration will act on their grudges, he
says, and they are not afraid to do
so frequently.
(31:27):
So Mark's app, a platform built to serve
as a repository for videos and other materials
documenting ICE's activity, is not alone in getting
kicked off Apple's app store.
Early in October, ICE Block was among the
first ICE-related apps Apple removed.
The decision follows claims from the U.S.
(31:49):
Attorney General, Pam Bondi, that such tools endanger
ICE officers, and Apple has also removed other
tracking apps, including Red Dot and the ICER,
as well as Eyes Up.
So like Mark, ICE Block's developer, Joshua Aaron,
is determined to reverse the app store bans.
(32:09):
While we cannot speak to specifics right now,
we do know that ICE Block has an
incredible legal team behind it, and they're gonna
do everything they say in their power to
fight this ban.
So I think they were trying to send
him a message, but this team is definitely
more about a control and a movement than
(32:29):
just an app.
So regarding the Eyes Up, Mark says he
has already appealed Apple's decision to delist the
app twice, and he quotes, I will appeal
every single time they reject me until it's
back in the app store, close quote.
He says, quote, because it's pure cowardice what
they're doing, I'm not gonna let off the
(32:51):
gas with Apple, close quote.
The ban ignited a fire under Mark, who
performing now more community outreach effects and efforts
to let people know about Eyes Up and
encouraging them to upload publicly documented encounters with
ICE agents to the app, which is still
currently available on the Google Play Store and
(33:13):
the Eyes Up website.
So these are some pretty tight things, guys,
what's going on.
The fact that this is happening, you have
to ask yourself, what's this really about?
(33:37):
And I think some of it's for the
protection, but I also feel it's a control
situation.
So let's see what goes on, but we
will definitely keep you guys in the loop.
But like I said, while DHS claims 1
(33:57):
,000% spike in attacks on ICE, most
users rely on the app for safety, leaving
federal efforts to ban them and stuck now
in the constitutional gridlock.
Like I said, that's a problem, guys, very,
very, very big problem.
So who really owns your TikTok feed now?
That's the question of the day.
(34:20):
After months of debate, American investors and a
few from China are taking over TikTok's US
operations.
Does this mean a safer, freer feed or
just different hands on your data and eyes?
The future of short form video and social
media could hang in, well, vows of balance,
(34:43):
hopefully.
And I think this is a big thing
for a lot of people.
So Mr. President Trump claims TikTok deal is
done.
US investors take control.
China retains the stake.
President Trump announced a $14 billion deal for
the United States investors led by Oracle, Silver
Lake, Dell, and Rupert Murdoch to take over
(35:04):
TikTok's American operations with China's ByteDance holding less
than 20%.
The new US only version will have an
American run board and licensed algorithm pending regulatory
approval.
The Trump called situation disagreement, quote unquote, a
win for free speech and national security.
Even as creators and analysts watch close to
(35:26):
see if the new app will keep its
magic, we're gonna have to see what happens.
So you're probably asking a big question is
when, and I think this is the question
everybody wants to know, when will the new
US TikTok app come out?
So still in the thinking phase, I guess
(35:51):
they're still working on some stuff.
They said September 5th, but obviously that didn't
happen.
They said that in March of 2026, the
existing app is expected to be phased out
if the sale is finalized.
So the question is, when will the US
(36:15):
TikTok sale be finalized?
And I think that's really the biggest question,
but I don't know.
I think there's just a lot of back
and forth and I don't really believe anybody.
I think until I see it from my
own eyes, this just seems like AI saves
(36:37):
rivers and it can tech finally clean out
our water.
A major United Kingdom trial proved AI's worth
by preventing hundreds of sewage spills into rivers.
With environmental disasters on the rise, it's this
that we have the proof that we need
now for smart tech.
(36:58):
So it can deliver a cleaner, supposedly greener
future.
So there's a lot of things happening in
the AI world.
As AI helps cut sewage spills, 200 pollution
events stopped in the new UK water trial.
Southwest waters trial using AI and 12,000
smart sensors has helped predict and prevent around
(37:21):
200 sewage pollution events.
The system spots blockages and overflow threats faster
than humans analyzing live center data and CCTV
footage.
Experts say this automated detection is speeding repairs,
reducing environmental impact and saving money, pointing to
a clear future for UK waterways.
(37:42):
Wow, guys, that's a lot of information about
this AI.
I mean, if this works, this could even
be used in the United States.
Virtual MP goes live.
Would you trust an artificial intelligence politician?
I didn't trust the real ones.
The United Kingdom just met its first AI
-powered member of parliament.
(38:05):
Answering questions 24-7 with a quote-unquote
digital twin.
Is this the transparency and accessibility politics needs,
or is it just another fad or gimmick
to widen the gap between real leaders and
the public?
I don't know.
(38:25):
I think this is a big issue.
Labour MP Mark Sewards has become the UK's
first politician to debut an AI version of
himself and always on chat bot designed to
answer constituent questions with real voice.
Sewards says it's about access innovation, but critics
(38:47):
warn it could further disconnect politicians from the
public and confuse those who may not realize
they're talking to a bot.
The project created by startup Neural Voice provides
24-7 contact, but it sparked a lively
debate on the role of AI in politics
and, of course, guys, trust.
(39:08):
So these are things that I think we
have to be aware of and cognizant of.
But the question is, are we ready for
this?
And where's the data going to come from
this?
Is this something that's going to really do
something for us, or is it going to
just cause more confusion and more chaos?
AI in politics.
(39:28):
What do you guys think about that?
What does that ring sound like?
I don't know.
I just think that it could be bad.
I think that it could get into the
wrong hands and this tool could be exploited
so easily.
(39:50):
And there's a lot of issues on AI.
And so if we have AI answer questions
on AI, I don't know how that's going
to work.
There are lots of challenges, guys, in having
an AI political system.
The system always learns, so I guess it
can keep adapting and then re-answering questions
that might be what you want to hear
(40:12):
or maybe not.
I don't know, guys.
Just thinking about these things just makes me
kind of ponder and wonder.
When we think about AI, right?
I think the most important thing we have
to realize, guys, is that AI is a
tool.
It is not good.
It is not bad.
(40:33):
It's how we choose to use it that
makes it either good or bad.
But a lot of people just see AI
as a way to make money.
And I think I get that it can
make money, but I think we have a
responsibility as humans to use AI in a
way that's going to be for the greater
good of all.
(40:55):
So AI, they say, isn't just regular software.
It does much more.
And GPT-5 is now out.
GPT-5 Pro represents a quantum leap in
AI reasoning capabilities.
This isn't just about generating text anymore.
It can navigate complex legal frameworks.
Analyze intricate financial scenarios.
And assist with medical research with unprecedented nuances.
(41:19):
Think of it as having a PhD-level
consultant available 24-7, capable of understanding context,
weighing multiple factors, and providing reasoned recommendations.
Real-world impacts, financial analysts use it to
model market scenarios with dozens of variables.
Healthcare professionals leverage it to cross-reference patient
(41:41):
data with research findings.
Legal teams employ it to review contracts and
identify compliance issues.
Researchers use it to collaborate with thinking partners
for complex problems.
Sora 2, you probably know, is your personal
film studio.
They claim it'll blow your mind.
(42:02):
Mattel has already partnered to revolutionize toy marketing.
Independent filmmakers now have access to production capabilities
that would have cost millions just years ago.
A solo creator with a compelling story can
now produce studio-quality visual content.
The question you might be asking is, who
has chat?
(42:23):
Or how much more is chat GPT-5?
So chat GPT-5 is included with the
free chat, but it comes with usage limits.
After hitting the cap, the system automatically switches
to the less powerful GPT-5 mini model.
(42:45):
So we're no longer in the 4 to
3, so now we're staying in the mini
model.
So the question you might be asking is,
differences, and this is a great question, differences
between chat GPT-4 and 5.
So 5 is a big upgrade.
It has unified architecture with automatic model selection,
(43:08):
sharper and more seamless multimodal capabilities, text, image,
audio, and video, and extended context window for
handling massive documents.
Now, people are saying the chat GPT-4
is better than chat GPT-5, and the
thing is this, a lot of people were
(43:31):
saying, okay, that 4 is better than 5.
Well, now they're starting to realize that there's
a difference.
So many people basically thought the same thing,
said this, and today they're humbly taking their
words back.
Chat GPT was supposedly to be a faster
(43:52):
model, but unfortunately, it's not as fast.
Chat GPT talks to me like it's a
corporate therapist.
But I think a lot of people are
looking for more.
They want to know the difference.
(44:16):
And so I think it's great that they're
doing things like this, but I think we
have to be cognizant that it's got to
all be in context.
So chat GPT-4 launched in March 2023.
Reasoning is fixed.
Factual accuracy is 128,000 tokens.
(44:38):
Performance is okay.
Code generation, there's plugins you can use.
GPT-5 rolled out in August 2025.
Adaptive thinking model, 40% fewer hallucinations, handles
complex tasks faster, and 74.9% are
(45:01):
in the free version, and there's also enterprise
tiers.
So there are some free enterprise tiers, but
I think a lot of people out there
don't realize what you use chat GPT for.
You use chat GPT to take a lot
of information and give you a summary, or
to analyze something or compare something.
(45:24):
But you have to be the person that
is going to know you're going to compare
it to.
I think that's the important thing.
AI has a lot of benefits, but if
you don't know what you want to look
for, what you want to scale, it's just
going to be another tool, right?
(45:46):
If you were trying to cut a hole
in a piece of wood, right, and you
had a drill, and let's say there are
different kinds of bits.
Well, the drill doesn't know which bit you
need for which screw.
You have to know whether it's a quarter,
an eighth, what kind of thing, how many,
you have to know those things.
If you don't know those things, then I
(46:08):
feel that's a very, very big problem.
All right, a very, very big problem.
So you have to be aware of what
you're doing.
And I think the chat systems out there,
and there's other ones out there that can
actually give you some, let's say some inferences
of how to use the tool, right?
(46:30):
But I mean, the biggest thing right now,
you know, you might be asking, so what
is everyone using chat GPT 5.4?
Some of the biggest cases for that, as
I said, the multimodal deep reasoning, they're using
it more in the medical field, the legal
(46:50):
field, people using it to generate debug code,
front end development, they're using it to be
like agents, people can answer questions like a
chat bot.
It has a lot more capabilities to access
(47:12):
things that didn't exist in the past.
So that's a huge benefit for a lot
of people to understand how that actually works.
So hopefully, you can understand like, you know,
like what this is and the purpose of
this, but chat GPT or any of the
(47:34):
systems out there, we have to realize what
its context is.
And the system might not always know its
context.
And then you need to apply those reasoning
examples to your real world situation, okay?
(47:56):
If somebody said to me, John, you know,
what are the best things in AI?
Just a few things to name off the
top of my head, you've got advanced data
analysis, you've got automation, you can do things
with social media, agriculture, AI and healthcare, chatbots,
climate changes assessments, digital assistance, enhanced customer service,
(48:19):
finance, healthcare, Amazon Alexa, cost reduction, fraud detection,
video games, Google Maps, improve your writing style,
increase productivity, navigation, personalization, robotics, smart decision
-making, automobiles, and reduce human error.
(48:40):
Many people I talk to say, you know,
you can use chat GPT or any of
these systems to help you with a certain
scenario.
But the problem is if you don't know
how you're gonna use the tool, like if
you've never used a drill before, right?
You probably could figure it out, but you
might not get the same results as somebody
(49:01):
that's had, let's say, experience using one for
many, many years.
I mean, I think that's a huge thing
that a lot of people just don't realize,
you know, that it is about that.
And so when I say it's about that,
I mean this because if you can analyze
what's going on, it's
(49:30):
important to realize, okay?
I think that's an important thing.
That's the most important thing to, you know,
to understand, okay?
That's really the only thing to understand.
(49:52):
And hopefully this makes some sense to you.
If you understand, like, you know, what works,
then hopefully you will be able to know
that chat GPT and other AI systems are
good, but they're all about how things work.
(50:20):
And so if you want to think about
a chat GPT system, okay, you have to
realize, use something called an LLM, a large
language model.
And based on that information, okay, the system
can then learn.
So a lot of times things use stuff
like, you know, like what's going on, right?
(50:43):
And so I want to tell you that
these are very, very important things for you
to realize, okay?
If you understand that, then maybe you'll understand,
like, why chat GPT is becoming so very,
very important.
(51:04):
And I think the reason it's becoming so
important is that we only have so many
hours in a day, right?
And if we have so many hours in
a day, then I think other things can
be accomplished by being smart with that time.
(51:25):
Does that make sense?
Hopefully it does.
But if it doesn't make sense, then maybe
you can say to me, John, well, I
don't get the reason for chat GPT.
And I would just say to you that
it's about you realizing its potential, okay?
(51:48):
It's about you realizing its potential.
And that's the whole thing I want to
tell you about, okay?
It's about that type of thing.
And so if you understand that you can
use it as a reference point, okay?
(52:09):
A reference point, that's what I'm saying.
A reference point.
A reference point is something that hopefully you'll
be able to understand and get data.
Does that make sense?
I mean, I hope it does.
If it doesn't, then definitely let me know
(52:31):
what's going on.
Because I think if you can realize that
it's a model and that's how it is
accomplished, it's accomplished just like that.
And thinking about that it learns.
(52:59):
And as that happens, it might change what
you think about.
Does that make sense to everybody?
I hope so.
And if it makes sense to everybody, then
maybe you'll understand that chat GPT is a
(53:24):
tool that can help us be better, okay?
I know that a lot of you are
saying to me, John, like this doesn't make
sense, okay?
(53:45):
But what we have to realize is one
thing.
Chat GPT is designed to look at lots
of information, like huge amounts of information.
And with that information, then we can go
forward.
Does that make sense?
I mean, I'm hoping that makes some kind
(54:07):
of sense.
If it does, then you'll realize that it's
about to know what is happening, what is
going on.
And if that is the case, then you'll
realize the chat GPT or any AI system
(54:29):
is something that's gonna allow you to take
data, okay, and compare it to a model.
The model may already exist, or it might
have to keep building the model.
Let me give you an example.
Let's say we wanted to figure out the
cheapest and most efficient way to get from,
(54:51):
let's say, Dallas, Texas to Washington DC.
And this is a perfect use of AI.
We can use things like weights, and not
to get into all the situations and the
parameters, but things like, maybe there's a cost
if we go through this airport.
If we go through this airport, it might
(55:11):
be slower, but it's gonna have a, so
if we said, I wanna get the cheapest
way, I didn't say the fastest way, I
said, I want the cheapest way.
Then we have to compare cheapest or efficient
way.
Is efficient only time?
Is efficient only money?
What is it?
I think those are the important things that
we have to realize.
(55:32):
And if we can do that, then we
can start to understand that these systems can
help us to solve or understand our current
dilemmas by comparing them to an existing model
that somebody else has.
Like after studying for many hours that when
we go through this weight, or we do
this at this airport, or we take this
much time, it actually costs us twice the
(55:54):
amount of money.
Or if I was flying, let's say from
New York to Florida, it might be more
expensive to fly from Newark than New York
or vice versa.
Because there might be other things that I'm
not directly aware of.
So I think ChatGPT is very good at
taking those details, providing that we give the
(56:18):
details to the chat system and the AI
system, and then it can take them all
together.
I'm hoping that the chats will get better
with math.
They make a lot of mistakes in math,
but they're very good when it comes to
details and saying, do this.
I do still find that a lot of
them, when you tell them to do something,
they still can't count properly.
They can't understand a simple thing.
But when you give it something complicated, they
(56:40):
understand it, which is kind of strange.
Well, guys, let's get with it today.
And let's bring your curiosity and catch all
the action with The JMOR Tech Talk
Show, your front row seat to tech's next
viral headlines.
We are on every single Friday.
(57:03):
And if you do miss the live show,
well, of course, you can go back and
you can watch the replays at believemeachieve.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, whether you're using technology for
your home or your business or both, remember
one thing, technology is a tool.
(57:25):
It's not good and it's not bad, but
it's how we choose to apply it that
makes that so.
I hope that you've learned a lot about
these really jaw-dropping stories today.
And I hope that this'll get you to
probe deeper in your mind and say, you
know what?
I think we gotta do more of this.
(57:45):
I think I gotta be more aware.
I wanna leave you with this thought, and
that is when we can choose to be
aware of a situation, we can then look
at the measurements.
We can then analyze.
But if we can't be aware, we won't
know what to do.
That's the key.
Have yourself a great rest of your night
or weekend.
I'll catch you real soon.
Be well, everyone.
Hi everyone, I'm John C. Morley Serial Entrepreneur, the host of
The JMOR Tech Talk Show and Inspirations

fantastic, fabulous Friday.
It's October 10, 2025, if you're watching this
live, and you've tuned into The JMOR
Tech Talk Show, the show that tells you
all about technology, the things you need to
(01:12):
be aware of, and some other great, cool
insights that are always fun to learn about.
If you're new here, I want to take
the opportunity to say thank you and welcome
from the bottom of my heart.
If you are coming out here and you've
been here many times, well, welcome back.
Thank you so much for being here, really
do appreciate that.
If you miss the show or any other
(01:33):
shows, or you want to catch any of
my short-form content or my long-form
content, why not trot on over to BelieveMeAchieved
.com, that is after the show.
Hey guys, if you're thirsty, feel free to
go grab yourself something from the kitchen, maybe
some water, maybe something like a snack, fruit,
nuts, chocolate, peanuts, whatever.
Feel free to get that and come on
(01:54):
back to the show.
All right, guys, without any further ado, let's
go ahead and get this show off the
ground.
Are you ready, guys?
All right.
So again, welcome to The JMOR Tech
Talk Show.
It's so great to have you here.
As a serial entrepreneur, engineer, video producer, marketing
specialist, keynote speaker, graduate student, podcast host, and
(02:18):
coach, and of course, a passionate lifelong learner,
I enjoy diving deep into some great stories
that shape our digital and technical world.
My mission, to spark curiosity, empower conversation, and
fuel your journey to, yes, BelieveMeAchieved.com so
(02:40):
you can learn more about what's going on.
Learning is not something we just do once.
It's something we have to keep evolving to
do.
I always say, as long as we're breathing,
we should be learning.
All right, so our first point is a
really good one, and that is escape or
be trapped.
Just hours left in Gaza.
(03:01):
Yes, Gaza City was facing its most desperate
hours as residents were warned, and it's a
now or never situation to get out.
With roads blocked and deadly airstrikes amidst intensifying,
the world watches as civilians try to escape
a fate sealed by war.
(03:23):
Would you risk it all for one last
chance at freedom?
I don't know.
That's what this is all about, and I
know one thing.
All those people there, I could say it's
not a happy time for them to have
to just pick up and to leave.
Just crazy.
(03:44):
Hospitals, schools, and shelter sites are all under
fire as the offensive accelerates, and humanitarian groups
warn the situation is rapidly increasing and getting
worse.
The Trump-backed peace proposal remains unaccepted as
Hamas holds firm.
Civilians face desperation and disaster as the city
(04:04):
is encircling, and the escape routes are starting
to vanish.
Oh, boy.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, big money, bigger trouble.
A court showdown for Mr. Elon Musk.
Elon Musk isn't just making headlines for rockets
(04:25):
and cars now, he's in a bit of
a predicament in a legal battle over his
Twitter stock buy.
As the SEC holds him to account in
DC, it's a showdown that could redefine what
power and accountability look like for the world's
richest.
(04:46):
So, I think this is an interesting story,
interesting trend, and Musk loses the court bid
for the SEC lawsuit over the Twitter stake
that's a stay in DC.
The federal judge just rejected Elon Musk's claim
that he's too busy to face the SEC
lawsuit in Washington DC over his late disclosure
(05:08):
of buying Twitter shares.
Musk argued for Texas, but the judge said
his global schedule and considerable means don't justify
a move.
The case claims Musk's delay let him buy
500 million shares at a discount, with the
SEC seeking 150 million, and of course, a
(05:29):
pretty hefty fine.
Musk is trying to toss the case, but
for now, the court is staying, well, in
the Capitol.
So, I think this is not over.
It's going to be going on for quite
a while, guys, and just because you're the
richest man or lady doesn't mean that you
can be above the law.
(05:52):
So, will Taiwan's tech strategy rewrite trade within
the United States?
Well, Taiwan is moving the chess pieces on
the board in a global tech, forging bold
alliances with the United States to keep its
semiconductor crown.
As a global set of tensions continue to
(06:15):
mount, their latest moves trigger a shift in
the tech and the trade balance between the
East and the West.
Again, this is more of a power struggle.
I think this is what it's about.
So, Taiwan is exploring new high-tech strategic
partners with the U.S., forcing them to
(06:36):
look at other places, like now focusing on
expanding U.S. production capacity without relocating supply
chains.
The goal for them is to build, quote
-unquote, industrial clusters, close quote, through joint Taiwan
-U.S. cooperation, boosting investment and supply chain
resilience.
Taiwan seeks tariff cuts on exports to the
(06:57):
United States while maintaining its domestic chip manufacturing
dominance, led by TSMC, which is investing $165
billion in the U.S. chip factories, Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation.
Taiwan aims to remain rooted locally while expanding
globally in the industrial cooperation with the United
(07:21):
States despite tensions and some of the global
uncertainty.
So, although they're helping us get ahead, I
think there's things that we have to be
concerned about.
Are we doing the right thing for America?
Are we doing the right thing for the
American people?
I think that's what it really comes down
to at the end of the day.
I think that's a very, very big thing.
(07:43):
And I think a lot of people are
not really, how can I say, aware of
that particular situation.
But it's something I think that everybody needs
to be aware of.
It's not something that just happens in one
day, but it's something that I think people
(08:03):
need to understand why this is going on
this way.
What is the whole purpose?
Does it have a reason?
Or is it just about controlling money?
And that's always possible, guys.
It's always possible.
But I think most people want to do
things for the greater good of all concerned.
(08:24):
I think most people do.
But I will tell you that sometimes that
doesn't always go well.
That does not always go well.
And I think that's a problem for a
lot of people to understand, that it really
takes time to understand what's going on, what
people are doing, why people are doing certain
(08:46):
things.
And again, it may all seem about control.
I mean, I know that's what everything is
about control.
But I have to believe that it's got
to be for something better than that.
It's got to be for something to hopefully
help the greater good of the American people.
I think that's what it's got to be
about.
But it's important that we understand that.
(09:06):
And when I say understand, that I mean
that in a way that hopefully gets us
to understand what's around us, what the infrastructure
is like, and things like that.
I think those are really important things to
understand.
And when we understand that, it's like we
start to recognize what's happening in our lives.
(09:29):
I think that's a big thing for a
lot of people, is to understand what's going
on, and why is it happening, and why
is it transcribing now.
If it's happening later, then that could be
a problem for a lot of people.
But then again, if it isn't, then again,
(09:51):
that could be a big issue.
It could be a big issue.
But I want to tell you, it's important
for you to understand these things, all right?
Really, really, really.
And so ladies and gentlemen, every chat now
fuels your feed.
Would you give up privacy for some perks?
(10:14):
Well, Meta is taking personalization to new levels,
using your AI chat history to tailor ads
and content like never before.
With no way to opt out, the question
is, how much privacy would you sacrifice for
a more custom experience?
I wouldn't want to sacrifice any of it.
(10:36):
And I think you've got to be careful
the information you share with any AI system,
including Meta, because we've seen that they have
been very, how can I say, brutal in
their game in trying to get ahead.
And for them, it's all about money.
It's all about the date and how much
they can sell it to people for it.
So Meta AI chats, power personalized ads is
(11:00):
what it's about.
And it starts December of 2025.
Meta will use every conversation with its AI
to tailor the content and ads across Facebook
and Instagram platforms.
If you interact with Meta AI, your chat
topics help shape what shows up in your
feed, even in reels and ads with no
opt out insight.
(11:20):
Sensitive topics like health and religion won't be
used for ads, thankfully.
But everything else is, well, fair game for
personalization.
And the rollout covers most regions except the
United Kingdom and the European Union and South
Korea, making a massive shift in how Meta
leverages chat data for target advertising.
I think what that means is Meta's afraid
(11:42):
that they're going to get sued with those
other countries.
The United States is not on the ball
with that.
Like, they feel they can pull more over
on the United States.
I don't think it's a great thing, guys.
But for whatever reason, they are trying to
pull things over on the US.
So again, that is a very, very big
problem.
(12:02):
And I want to let you know that
it's something we have to be concerned about.
If we're not concerned about it, then, well,
that's a very, very big problem.
Okay, it's a very, very big problem, because
(12:23):
if you don't understand that, then you're probably
going to be like, well, what is that?
Right.
I mean, I think that's what I think
that's what it comes down to.
Like, you know, what is that?
And what is that is something that I
can tell you is just a little bit
crazy at the moment.
Right.
(12:44):
Maybe you're saying that this is nuts.
And I'm saying that we've got to protect
our data.
Everyone out there is trying to get a
part of our data.
I was somebody the other day, and I
was learning that in China, they actually do
a little bit more than facial recognition.
(13:06):
Some people might actually, you know, cover the
face or put a mask on it.
They use something called your gate.
So what the heck is a gate?
Um, how do I explain this?
What if I asked somebody like what, you
know, what is what is a person's gate?
(13:26):
So a gate has to do with a
walking pattern of movement.
It's the style of coordinated movements involving the
legs, the feet and the arms that propel
the body forward.
A person's gate, that's G-A-I-T,
by the way, is unique and can be
affected by factors like age, injuries, neurological conditions,
(13:46):
and of course, the footwear you're wearing.
So in China, what they do is they
have a digital representation of the person and
they track the person's gate, G-A-I
-T.
So now what they're doing, if let's say
somebody doesn't want to be tracked, so they
might wear a different shoe that makes them
walk differently.
So this way they're not picked up because
(14:09):
the first time they were picked up.
So again, anything that it can pattern, it
links.
So it just happens one time, the system
has no way to pattern that.
I think tracking somebody's gate, I think that's
very personal.
And I think that could cause more complications
as we, um, as we progress forward.
(14:31):
More privacy issues and things like that.
So guys, from app developer to warlord, can
AI change the battlefield?
That's the big multi-million dollar question.
A Silicon Valley maverick is turning heads and
raising some eyebrows by building an AI powered
(14:52):
gun turret for the Pentagon.
When gaming tech becomes real world defense, are
we on the cusp of a revolution in
warfare or something far riskier?
Yeah, I think AI has some potential, but
I think sometimes we put it in a
(15:14):
way that it can't really be, I don't
know, safeguard.
Silicon Valley warlord as it takes the Pentagon
by storm with this AI gun startup.
The former restaurant tech entrepreneur, Stephen Simone, pivoted
from QR codes to co-founding Allen Control
(15:34):
Systems, now building the Bullfrog, an AI powered
machine gun turret that targets drones.
Ouch.
Backed by 40 million and Pentagon buzz, Simone's
blend of brash marketing and rapid prototypes landed
military contracts and wired the startup into DC's
(15:57):
new tech elite.
The Bullfrog can swivel and shoot down drones
in seconds, they claim, aiming to solve urgent
battlefield dangers as the US races to out
innovate global adversaries.
Now, the thing I should tell you before
I was talking about China, where did China
learn about that security?
(16:18):
Are you wondering?
Us, the United States of America, we're pretty
smart.
And a lot of these other countries are
trying to dip into our knowledge wells to
see what they can do.
And the biggest Game Pass price hike ever
is now upon us.
Are the perks worth the discomfort and some
of the pain?
(16:38):
Gamers are reeled in as Microsoft has jacked
up Game Pass ultimate pricing with new games
and cloud perks promised.
The question remains, will you stay loyal?
Or is gaming becoming a luxury only a
few can afford?
That's a very interesting predicament, guys.
(17:01):
So Microsoft just hiked its top Xbox Game
Pass ultimate subscription to $29.99 a month,
a $10 jump while adding more first day
releases and premium cloud gaming.
Even with added perks, the sharp price increase
has gamers in the industry buzzing about the
new cost of all access to play.
(17:22):
Is this going to be the end?
No, I think they'll keep trying to raise
the price because if they can get it,
they'll change it.
So we'll have to stay abreast of what's
going on with that, guys.
SpaceCoin versus Starlink.
Will blockchain break the satellite monopoly?
Startup beamed blockchain data through space.
(17:45):
Targeting Starlink's reign as satellite king recently.
Is this blip or is it the first
shot in a battlefield?
For decentralization of the internet freedom.
Would you trust your data to a single
bold satellite?
No way.
(18:05):
No way.
No way.
So as I said, SpaceCoin starts up and
sends data through space and has pulled off
a first in the industry, sending secure blockchain
data through space by a satellite.
Bypassing terrestrial internet entirely.
(18:26):
Unlike Starlink's centralized approach, SpaceCoin is building a
decentralized network where anyone can move payments and
data worldwide, targeting regions with unreliable or censored
internet.
In a test, SpaceCoin's data traveled 7,000
kilometers from Chile to the Azores in seconds.
Still with just one satellite so far, it's
(18:48):
a bold move against Starlink's 8,000 strong
mega constellation.
That doesn't say Starlink's going anywhere, but I
do think this company is going to give
Mr. Elon Musk's a little run for the
money.
And ladies and gentlemen, electric dreams cost more.
Can EVs, that's electric vehicles, can they survive
(19:10):
without tax breaks?
I don't know.
Tesla and other electric vehicle manufacturers are raising
lease prices now that federal credits have suddenly
vanished.
With green driving slipping further out of reach,
will America shift to, let's say, electric slow
(19:32):
down or speed up in the response?
I don't know, guys.
I think this is something that is, I'll
say, a moving target and something that we
have to all be aware of.
But as I said, Tesla hikes prices after
the electric vehicle tax credit ends.
(19:53):
In the United States, since the 7,500
federal electric vehicle tax credit expired, Model Y
leases jumped to $529 to $599 per month,
up from $479 to $529.
While Model 3 now runs $429 to $759
(20:17):
per month.
The move comes as Tesla's U.S. market
share falls and demand slows with analysts warning
electric vehicle sales may dip without federal incentives.
Does this mean that the federal government's gonna
have to put things back?
I don't know.
But speaking about the federal government, you know,
(20:39):
is the federal government still closed?
Unfortunately, the government shutdown reaches the 10th yet.
And this is crazy, guys.
The shutdown-related firings start to begin.
White House Budget Chief Russell Vaught announced to
(21:02):
the government that he has started firing federal
workers as the shutdown drags on.
So far, it appears the Department of Treasury,
Education and Health and Human Services are among
those that are first impacted.
Still may continue as the government shutdown is
on track to extend it to next week.
Congress remains deadlocked on a funding plan and
(21:24):
the Senate isn't scheduled to hold any votes
until Tuesday.
The House is now out of session.
Missed paychecks for troops?
It's now seeming almost certain that military members
won't get their next paychecks, which were on
schedule to go out Wednesday.
House Democrats attempted but failed to gain recognition
on the floor recently today to advance legislation
(21:48):
that would have guaranteed pay for US troops
during the shutdown.
Virginia Democrats blast Trump admin's move to lay
off federal workers in shutdown as a deliberate
choice.
Democratic Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, who
represent a large federal workforce in Virginia, blasted
the Trump administration's move to fire federal workers
(22:11):
during a shutdown accusing the administration of using
public servants as pawns.
Donald Trump and Russ Baut are once again
showing us exactly who they are.
Reckless ideologues willing to inflict real pain or
discomfort on hardworking Americans to score political points.
Now, a thing I thought was very interesting,
(22:31):
the other day I was going to a
fundraiser dinner, you're going to love this.
And so the bank I went to doesn't
really matter, but I went to one bank,
went to two of the ATMs, the one
outside, the one inside, and guess what?
Red light was on.
They probably had no money.
I went to the next bank, same bank,
(22:52):
wasn't too far up the road.
And the one inside, the one outside was
red, it had no money.
So they were closing the bank and the
people were walking out and I said, what's
going on?
Like, what happened with the money?
Oh, we were supposed to get the money
yesterday, on Monday, of, I guess, because of
the federal shutdown, we're not getting deliveries.
(23:14):
So why are banks not getting money from
the government?
I mean, that's probably a big question.
So they claim that they're still putting money
(23:34):
out there.
But again, the government, the local people, who
need to put this through, rely on the
federal people.
So they had no money.
And they probably won't have money next Monday
again.
And then some banks had some extra reserve,
but pretty soon they're going to run out
(23:55):
of money too.
And this is kind of wacky, if you
ask me, you know, why, and this is
a big question, why are many banks not
having money for ATMs?
I mean, I think that's a big question
right now.
Due to the decline, use of cash, shift
(24:16):
to digital payments and rising operational costs, it's
led banks to be closing their own ATMs
and outsource to third-party networks, which may
have lower cash reserves or charge higher fees.
The question is, is this really about the
government shutdown or is it something else?
Are they trying to get people to stop
(24:37):
using cash?
Well, they're definitely making it harder to get
a hold of cash.
So I was going to this event and
I need to have cash on hand for
like the valet and a bartender, et cetera.
And so I wound up going to CVS.
Oh no, was it CVS or was it,
I think I went to, no, I think
I went, I either went to CVS or
I went, I think I might've went to,
(24:57):
yeah, I went to CVS.
And so I went there and I bought
a pack of gum and then I got
20 bucks.
I did another pack of gum and I
got 20 bucks.
So that's crazy that I had to be
resourceful to do that, right?
And so people have asked me, is the
reason that banks have no money the shutdown?
(25:20):
And I think that's a very clear thing
to say.
And so what the government is saying is
that a government shutdown is not the reason
banks are lacking money.
Commercial banks, including those insured by the FDIC,
offer independently of the federal funding that is
affecting us right now during the government shutdown.
(25:42):
So they're blaming it on that, okay?
But really guys, it has nothing to do
with that.
So this is all just a convoluted mess
that everybody's kind of getting into.
So I thought I would share that with
you.
And Disney bites back, guys.
AI chat has gone too far, they claim.
(26:02):
After AI bots in Disney's likeness were caught
in scandal, the Mouse House fired off a
cease and desist to protect its brand and
children everywhere.
In a world where AI can be anyone
who keeps the digital world safe for kids
(26:23):
is really what it's about.
And so when we think about all these
things, we don't realize implications.
But Disney sent out a cease and desist
letter to character.ai demanding it remove all
Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel chat bots after
reports of, quote unquote, adult exploitation, grooming, and
(26:48):
emotional manipulation of children using AI-based characters.
Disney says the app's conduct is egregious and
threatens legal action if infringement continues.
Character.ai removed the bots, but Disney warns
its fight to protect brand safety and kids
(27:08):
is far from over.
So it seems like they're sending a message
up the pike, but this might not be
really the end.
It claims like it's not going to be.
Apple stands firm.
Diversity isn't dead.
Apple's investors just shut down a move to
(27:29):
kill off diversity efforts, overwhelming backing the AI
and tech.
While other giants bail, Apple is betting its
strength coming from talent across every single background.
Can inclusion win in Silicon Valley?
I don't know, but I think that's what
(27:50):
we're asking right now is the case of
inclusion.
So Apple shareholders rejected a proposal to scrap
the diversity, equity, and inclusion proposal policy.
Over 97 votes voted to keep the program,
defying political pressure and recent rollbacks at other
tech giants.
CEO Tim Cook says, quote, Apple's strength comes
(28:13):
from collaboration, hiring the very best people from
diverse backgrounds, quote.
As Trump's push to dismantle DEI sweeps corporate
America, Apple doubles down and investors clearly back
the strategy.
So this is a little bit crazy.
So does that say that Apple, you know,
(28:34):
doesn't want DEI?
It doesn't want to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion.
So this is clear.
It doesn't want to eliminate it.
It does want to keep it in the
wraps.
And only 3% of the stock members
voted against it.
(28:55):
So that's actually pretty good.
More companies should probably be on the bandwagon
to actually be treating people properly.
And tracking ICE, yes, the app freedom, or
is it a security risk?
ICE tracking apps are fueling a heated legal
battle in the United States.
Are they tools for the public safety?
(29:17):
Or are they a threat to law enforcement?
As court's way first amendment rights and the
freedom against security fears, which right will win
out?
I think that's a big problem.
I think it's a big question for a
lot of people.
What's it about?
So ICE tracking apps spark some legal debate
(29:40):
and fight, but the ban, guys, looks unlikely.
The U.S. government is blasting ICE tracking
apps like Ice Block, accusing them of endangering
agents and fueling attacks.
Despite harsh rhetoric and threats from top officials,
legal experts say a ban is unlikely.
The apps are built in the United States
(30:01):
and protected by the first amendment, much like
police scanners.
While Department of Homeland Security claims a thousand
percent spike in attacks on ICE, most users
rely on the apps for safety, leaving federal
efforts to ban them stuck in a constitutional
gridlock.
So the question is, did Apple remove ICE
(30:25):
apps from their store?
And got some news for you.
Guess what?
Apple took down the ICE tracking apps.
So we're going to do everything in our
power to fight this, says ICE Block developer,
Joshua Aaron, after Apple removed his app from
(30:46):
the app store.
Eyes up, one of the many immigration and
customs enforcement-related apps removed by Apple in
recent days was busy on this past Wednesday
evening at a local planning session for the
nationwide No Kings protest, scheduled for later this
month.
(31:06):
When a publication recently and other news bureaus
had checked in, they reached him by phone
and asked to be only identified by his
first name, Mark for safety reasons.
The administration will act on their grudges, he
says, and they are not afraid to do
so frequently.
(31:27):
So Mark's app, a platform built to serve
as a repository for videos and other materials
documenting ICE's activity, is not alone in getting
kicked off Apple's app store.
Early in October, ICE Block was among the
first ICE-related apps Apple removed.
The decision follows claims from the U.S.
(31:49):
Attorney General, Pam Bondi, that such tools endanger
ICE officers, and Apple has also removed other
tracking apps, including Red Dot and the ICER,
as well as Eyes Up.
So like Mark, ICE Block's developer, Joshua Aaron,
is determined to reverse the app store bans.
(32:09):
While we cannot speak to specifics right now,
we do know that ICE Block has an
incredible legal team behind it, and they're gonna
do everything they say in their power to
fight this ban.
So I think they were trying to send
him a message, but this team is definitely
more about a control and a movement than
(32:29):
just an app.
So regarding the Eyes Up, Mark says he
has already appealed Apple's decision to delist the
app twice, and he quotes, I will appeal
every single time they reject me until it's
back in the app store, close quote.
He says, quote, because it's pure cowardice what
they're doing, I'm not gonna let off the
(32:51):
gas with Apple, close quote.
The ban ignited a fire under Mark, who
performing now more community outreach effects and efforts
to let people know about Eyes Up and
encouraging them to upload publicly documented encounters with
ICE agents to the app, which is still
currently available on the Google Play Store and
(33:13):
the Eyes Up website.
So these are some pretty tight things, guys,
what's going on.
The fact that this is happening, you have
to ask yourself, what's this really about?
(33:37):
And I think some of it's for the
protection, but I also feel it's a control
situation.
So let's see what goes on, but we
will definitely keep you guys in the loop.
But like I said, while DHS claims 1
(33:57):
,000% spike in attacks on ICE, most
users rely on the app for safety, leaving
federal efforts to ban them and stuck now
in the constitutional gridlock.
Like I said, that's a problem, guys, very,
very, very big problem.
So who really owns your TikTok feed now?
That's the question of the day.
(34:20):
After months of debate, American investors and a
few from China are taking over TikTok's US
operations.
Does this mean a safer, freer feed or
just different hands on your data and eyes?
The future of short form video and social
media could hang in, well, vows of balance,
(34:43):
hopefully.
And I think this is a big thing
for a lot of people.
So Mr. President Trump claims TikTok deal is
done.
US investors take control.
China retains the stake.
President Trump announced a $14 billion deal for
the United States investors led by Oracle, Silver
Lake, Dell, and Rupert Murdoch to take over
(35:04):
TikTok's American operations with China's ByteDance holding less
than 20%.
The new US only version will have an
American run board and licensed algorithm pending regulatory
approval.
The Trump called situation disagreement, quote unquote, a
win for free speech and national security.
Even as creators and analysts watch close to
(35:26):
see if the new app will keep its
magic, we're gonna have to see what happens.
So you're probably asking a big question is
when, and I think this is the question
everybody wants to know, when will the new
US TikTok app come out?
So still in the thinking phase, I guess
(35:51):
they're still working on some stuff.
They said September 5th, but obviously that didn't
happen.
They said that in March of 2026, the
existing app is expected to be phased out
if the sale is finalized.
So the question is, when will the US
(36:15):
TikTok sale be finalized?
And I think that's really the biggest question,
but I don't know.
I think there's just a lot of back
and forth and I don't really believe anybody.
I think until I see it from my
own eyes, this just seems like AI saves
(36:37):
rivers and it can tech finally clean out
our water.
A major United Kingdom trial proved AI's worth
by preventing hundreds of sewage spills into rivers.
With environmental disasters on the rise, it's this
that we have the proof that we need
now for smart tech.
(36:58):
So it can deliver a cleaner, supposedly greener
future.
So there's a lot of things happening in
the AI world.
As AI helps cut sewage spills, 200 pollution
events stopped in the new UK water trial.
Southwest waters trial using AI and 12,000
smart sensors has helped predict and prevent around
(37:21):
200 sewage pollution events.
The system spots blockages and overflow threats faster
than humans analyzing live center data and CCTV
footage.
Experts say this automated detection is speeding repairs,
reducing environmental impact and saving money, pointing to
a clear future for UK waterways.
(37:42):
Wow, guys, that's a lot of information about
this AI.
I mean, if this works, this could even
be used in the United States.
Virtual MP goes live.
Would you trust an artificial intelligence politician?
I didn't trust the real ones.
The United Kingdom just met its first AI
-powered member of parliament.
(38:05):
Answering questions 24-7 with a quote-unquote
digital twin.
Is this the transparency and accessibility politics needs,
or is it just another fad or gimmick
to widen the gap between real leaders and
the public?
I don't know.
(38:25):
I think this is a big issue.
Labour MP Mark Sewards has become the UK's
first politician to debut an AI version of
himself and always on chat bot designed to
answer constituent questions with real voice.
Sewards says it's about access innovation, but critics
(38:47):
warn it could further disconnect politicians from the
public and confuse those who may not realize
they're talking to a bot.
The project created by startup Neural Voice provides
24-7 contact, but it sparked a lively
debate on the role of AI in politics
and, of course, guys, trust.
(39:08):
So these are things that I think we
have to be aware of and cognizant of.
But the question is, are we ready for
this?
And where's the data going to come from
this?
Is this something that's going to really do
something for us, or is it going to
just cause more confusion and more chaos?
AI in politics.
(39:28):
What do you guys think about that?
What does that ring sound like?
I don't know.
I just think that it could be bad.
I think that it could get into the
wrong hands and this tool could be exploited
so easily.
(39:50):
And there's a lot of issues on AI.
And so if we have AI answer questions
on AI, I don't know how that's going
to work.
There are lots of challenges, guys, in having
an AI political system.
The system always learns, so I guess it
can keep adapting and then re-answering questions
that might be what you want to hear
(40:12):
or maybe not.
I don't know, guys.
Just thinking about these things just makes me
kind of ponder and wonder.
When we think about AI, right?
I think the most important thing we have
to realize, guys, is that AI is a
tool.
It is not good.
It is not bad.
(40:33):
It's how we choose to use it that
makes it either good or bad.
But a lot of people just see AI
as a way to make money.
And I think I get that it can
make money, but I think we have a
responsibility as humans to use AI in a
way that's going to be for the greater
good of all.
(40:55):
So AI, they say, isn't just regular software.
It does much more.
And GPT-5 is now out.
GPT-5 Pro represents a quantum leap in
AI reasoning capabilities.
This isn't just about generating text anymore.
It can navigate complex legal frameworks.
Analyze intricate financial scenarios.
And assist with medical research with unprecedented nuances.
(41:19):
Think of it as having a PhD-level
consultant available 24-7, capable of understanding context,
weighing multiple factors, and providing reasoned recommendations.
Real-world impacts, financial analysts use it to
model market scenarios with dozens of variables.
Healthcare professionals leverage it to cross-reference patient
(41:41):
data with research findings.
Legal teams employ it to review contracts and
identify compliance issues.
Researchers use it to collaborate with thinking partners
for complex problems.
Sora 2, you probably know, is your personal
film studio.
They claim it'll blow your mind.
(42:02):
Mattel has already partnered to revolutionize toy marketing.
Independent filmmakers now have access to production capabilities
that would have cost millions just years ago.
A solo creator with a compelling story can
now produce studio-quality visual content.
The question you might be asking is, who
has chat?
(42:23):
Or how much more is chat GPT-5?
So chat GPT-5 is included with the
free chat, but it comes with usage limits.
After hitting the cap, the system automatically switches
to the less powerful GPT-5 mini model.
(42:45):
So we're no longer in the 4 to
3, so now we're staying in the mini
model.
So the question you might be asking is,
differences, and this is a great question, differences
between chat GPT-4 and 5.
So 5 is a big upgrade.
It has unified architecture with automatic model selection,
(43:08):
sharper and more seamless multimodal capabilities, text, image,
audio, and video, and extended context window for
handling massive documents.
Now, people are saying the chat GPT-4
is better than chat GPT-5, and the
thing is this, a lot of people were
(43:31):
saying, okay, that 4 is better than 5.
Well, now they're starting to realize that there's
a difference.
So many people basically thought the same thing,
said this, and today they're humbly taking their
words back.
Chat GPT was supposedly to be a faster
(43:52):
model, but unfortunately, it's not as fast.
Chat GPT talks to me like it's a
corporate therapist.
But I think a lot of people are
looking for more.
They want to know the difference.
(44:16):
And so I think it's great that they're
doing things like this, but I think we
have to be cognizant that it's got to
all be in context.
So chat GPT-4 launched in March 2023.
Reasoning is fixed.
Factual accuracy is 128,000 tokens.
(44:38):
Performance is okay.
Code generation, there's plugins you can use.
GPT-5 rolled out in August 2025.
Adaptive thinking model, 40% fewer hallucinations, handles
complex tasks faster, and 74.9% are
(45:01):
in the free version, and there's also enterprise
tiers.
So there are some free enterprise tiers, but
I think a lot of people out there
don't realize what you use chat GPT for.
You use chat GPT to take a lot
of information and give you a summary, or
to analyze something or compare something.
(45:24):
But you have to be the person that
is going to know you're going to compare
it to.
I think that's the important thing.
AI has a lot of benefits, but if
you don't know what you want to look
for, what you want to scale, it's just
going to be another tool, right?
(45:46):
If you were trying to cut a hole
in a piece of wood, right, and you
had a drill, and let's say there are
different kinds of bits.
Well, the drill doesn't know which bit you
need for which screw.
You have to know whether it's a quarter,
an eighth, what kind of thing, how many,
you have to know those things.
If you don't know those things, then I
(46:08):
feel that's a very, very big problem.
All right, a very, very big problem.
So you have to be aware of what
you're doing.
And I think the chat systems out there,
and there's other ones out there that can
actually give you some, let's say some inferences
of how to use the tool, right?
(46:30):
But I mean, the biggest thing right now,
you know, you might be asking, so what
is everyone using chat GPT 5.4?
Some of the biggest cases for that, as
I said, the multimodal deep reasoning, they're using
it more in the medical field, the legal
(46:50):
field, people using it to generate debug code,
front end development, they're using it to be
like agents, people can answer questions like a
chat bot.
It has a lot more capabilities to access
(47:12):
things that didn't exist in the past.
So that's a huge benefit for a lot
of people to understand how that actually works.
So hopefully, you can understand like, you know,
like what this is and the purpose of
this, but chat GPT or any of the
(47:34):
systems out there, we have to realize what
its context is.
And the system might not always know its
context.
And then you need to apply those reasoning
examples to your real world situation, okay?
(47:56):
If somebody said to me, John, you know,
what are the best things in AI?
Just a few things to name off the
top of my head, you've got advanced data
analysis, you've got automation, you can do things
with social media, agriculture, AI and healthcare, chatbots,
climate changes assessments, digital assistance, enhanced customer service,
(48:19):
finance, healthcare, Amazon Alexa, cost reduction, fraud detection,
video games, Google Maps, improve your writing style,
increase productivity, navigation, personalization, robotics, smart decision
-making, automobiles, and reduce human error.
(48:40):
Many people I talk to say, you know,
you can use chat GPT or any of
these systems to help you with a certain
scenario.
But the problem is if you don't know
how you're gonna use the tool, like if
you've never used a drill before, right?
You probably could figure it out, but you
might not get the same results as somebody
(49:01):
that's had, let's say, experience using one for
many, many years.
I mean, I think that's a huge thing
that a lot of people just don't realize,
you know, that it is about that.
And so when I say it's about that,
I mean this because if you can analyze
what's going on, it's
(49:30):
important to realize, okay?
I think that's an important thing.
That's the most important thing to, you know,
to understand, okay?
That's really the only thing to understand.
(49:52):
And hopefully this makes some sense to you.
If you understand, like, you know, what works,
then hopefully you will be able to know
that chat GPT and other AI systems are
good, but they're all about how things work.
(50:20):
And so if you want to think about
a chat GPT system, okay, you have to
realize, use something called an LLM, a large
language model.
And based on that information, okay, the system
can then learn.
So a lot of times things use stuff
like, you know, like what's going on, right?
(50:43):
And so I want to tell you that
these are very, very important things for you
to realize, okay?
If you understand that, then maybe you'll understand,
like, why chat GPT is becoming so very,
very important.
(51:04):
And I think the reason it's becoming so
important is that we only have so many
hours in a day, right?
And if we have so many hours in
a day, then I think other things can
be accomplished by being smart with that time.
(51:25):
Does that make sense?
Hopefully it does.
But if it doesn't make sense, then maybe
you can say to me, John, well, I
don't get the reason for chat GPT.
And I would just say to you that
it's about you realizing its potential, okay?
(51:48):
It's about you realizing its potential.
And that's the whole thing I want to
tell you about, okay?
It's about that type of thing.
And so if you understand that you can
use it as a reference point, okay?
(52:09):
A reference point, that's what I'm saying.
A reference point.
A reference point is something that hopefully you'll
be able to understand and get data.
Does that make sense?
I mean, I hope it does.
If it doesn't, then definitely let me know
(52:31):
what's going on.
Because I think if you can realize that
it's a model and that's how it is
accomplished, it's accomplished just like that.
And thinking about that it learns.
(52:59):
And as that happens, it might change what
you think about.
Does that make sense to everybody?
I hope so.
And if it makes sense to everybody, then
maybe you'll understand that chat GPT is a
(53:24):
tool that can help us be better, okay?
I know that a lot of you are
saying to me, John, like this doesn't make
sense, okay?
(53:45):
But what we have to realize is one
thing.
Chat GPT is designed to look at lots
of information, like huge amounts of information.
And with that information, then we can go
forward.
Does that make sense?
I mean, I'm hoping that makes some kind
(54:07):
of sense.
If it does, then you'll realize that it's
about to know what is happening, what is
going on.
And if that is the case, then you'll
realize the chat GPT or any AI system
(54:29):
is something that's gonna allow you to take
data, okay, and compare it to a model.
The model may already exist, or it might
have to keep building the model.
Let me give you an example.
Let's say we wanted to figure out the
cheapest and most efficient way to get from,
(54:51):
let's say, Dallas, Texas to Washington DC.
And this is a perfect use of AI.
We can use things like weights, and not
to get into all the situations and the
parameters, but things like, maybe there's a cost
if we go through this airport.
If we go through this airport, it might
(55:11):
be slower, but it's gonna have a, so
if we said, I wanna get the cheapest
way, I didn't say the fastest way, I
said, I want the cheapest way.
Then we have to compare cheapest or efficient
way.
Is efficient only time?
Is efficient only money?
What is it?
I think those are the important things that
we have to realize.
(55:32):
And if we can do that, then we
can start to understand that these systems can
help us to solve or understand our current
dilemmas by comparing them to an existing model
that somebody else has.
Like after studying for many hours that when
we go through this weight, or we do
this at this airport, or we take this
much time, it actually costs us twice the
(55:54):
amount of money.
Or if I was flying, let's say from
New York to Florida, it might be more
expensive to fly from Newark than New York
or vice versa.
Because there might be other things that I'm
not directly aware of.
So I think ChatGPT is very good at
taking those details, providing that we give the
(56:18):
details to the chat system and the AI
system, and then it can take them all
together.
I'm hoping that the chats will get better
with math.
They make a lot of mistakes in math,
but they're very good when it comes to
details and saying, do this.
I do still find that a lot of
them, when you tell them to do something,
they still can't count properly.
They can't understand a simple thing.
But when you give it something complicated, they
(56:40):
understand it, which is kind of strange.
Well, guys, let's get with it today.
And let's bring your curiosity and catch all
the action with The JMOR Tech Talk
Show, your front row seat to tech's next
viral headlines.
We are on every single Friday.
(57:03):
And if you do miss the live show,
well, of course, you can go back and
you can watch the replays at believemeachieve.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, whether you're using technology for
your home or your business or both, remember
one thing, technology is a tool.
(57:25):
It's not good and it's not bad, but
it's how we choose to apply it that
makes that so.
I hope that you've learned a lot about
these really jaw-dropping stories today.
And I hope that this'll get you to
probe deeper in your mind and say, you
know what?
I think we gotta do more of this.
(57:45):
I think I gotta be more aware.
I wanna leave you with this thought, and
that is when we can choose to be
aware of a situation, we can then look
at the measurements.
We can then analyze.
But if we can't be aware, we won't
know what to do.
That's the key.
Have yourself a great rest of your night
or weekend.
I'll catch you real soon.
Be well, everyone.
