The JMOR Tech Talk Show.
All right, guys, first one.
So Mr. President Trump cuts ties with Elon
(03:18):
Musk over a policy clash, a major political
and a tech clash occurred as Donald Trump
officially severed ties with Elon Musk.
Now, President Trump was reportedly frustrated over policy
disagreements, particularly regarding AI regulations and digital free
(03:40):
speech boundaries.
This split could signal a deeper divide between
political leaders and those in and around, yes,
Silicon Valley, the titans, we call them, who
were once aligned.
The tech industry now watches closely to see
how Musk's platforms basically respond and how this
(04:05):
impacts his political leverage.
So we'll have to see what's going on
there.
But, you know, I don't know if I
buy the fact that it's over because Trump
does a lot of things, you know, just
for just for the reason of just because.
(04:25):
Right.
And that's probably something that a lot of
people don't get, right, is is the just
because.
And so.
I know a lot of people do things
because of a reason, but.
(04:46):
Mr. Trump, President Trump, I should say, does
things to get attention, OK?
That's very, very important to understand.
That you are doing things for the right
(05:07):
reasons, OK, and by the right reasons, I
mean things that are going to make an
impact in your life and those that you
care so much about.
All right.
When somebody just does something willy nilly, all
right, what that tells me is that they're
(05:28):
doing this, but they're not really doing what's
best for everyone.
I think that's probably a very, very big
concern, a concern that many people don't understand.
But it's something that I think a lot
of people need to realize.
They need to realize this.
And so when you decide to do something,
(05:50):
for whatever reason that is, you have to
understand that if you're doing something just to
get seen or to get heard, well, then
chances are you're going to run into problems.
I mean, that's just that's just a given,
guys.
That is a big, big given.
And so, you know what Trump did, I
(06:12):
don't know if I believe it.
I have a strong hunch that it could
be a political play.
I mean, it could be.
I'm not saying it is.
But I just know he's done things like
this in the past.
All right.
So we'll have to keep our eyes on
him and what they're doing, because this change
is not just going to affect one person.
(06:34):
We all know that, right?
This is going to affect the global economy
and where things are going.
So President Donald Trump publicly ended his relationship
with billionaire Elon Musk recently, warning of, quote
unquote, serious consequences if Musk supports Democratic candidates
who oppose Trump's economic agenda.
(06:56):
Sounds like a threat to me.
Once a major donor to Trump's campaign and
a leader of a federal efficiency initiative, Musk
has recently criticized Trump's new tax and spending
bill as a disgusting abomination.
And I quote, prompting a feud that has
escalated publicly.
(07:16):
Although Musk has deleted posts attacking Trump and
insiders, they suggest that he may seek reconciliation.
Trump insists he has no plans to speak
to Musk.
Despite the tension, Trump confirmed no intention to
cancel government contracts with Musk's companies like SpaceX
and Starlink.
The fallout comes as Republicans with slim congressional
(07:38):
majorities are surfacing.
If pushes to pass the controversial bill by
July 4th, even amid warnings, it could add
a 2.4 trillion dollar increase to the
national deficit debt.
So I think that's an important thing to
understand.
And so I don't know if the relationship
(08:00):
is kind of like over, like people do
things in public because they want to make
a scene.
They want people to react.
I mean, so we'll have to just see
what happens.
OK, guys.
Number two, the United States halts nuclear part
exports to China amid the trade tensions.
Now, the United States has escalated its trade
(08:21):
restrictions, halting the export of sensitive, quote unquote,
nuclear components to China.
This move stems from rising concerns over technology
misuse and national security.
The decision adds a new layer of strain
in already tense trade relationship and highlights the
growing challenge of balancing international collaboration with domestic
(08:47):
safety interests.
I think that's a problem for a lot
of people, a lot of people.
And so when we think about this whole
thing, right.
The U.S. is spending licenses for basically
the American nuclear equipment suppliers, including companies like,
(09:08):
yes, Westinghouse and Emerson to ship parts to
Chinese power plants amid the escalating trade tensions
we talked about between the two countries.
Now, the move is part of a broader
wave of recent export restrictions, and it comes
as the U.S. accuses China of breaching
a tariff truce and misusing rare earth elements.
While China criticizes Washington for overreacting and reaching
(09:32):
with export controls, these license suspensions, which could
impact hundreds of millions in businesses, also coincide
with tightened rules on the critical exports like
jet engines, hydraulic fluids, ethane liquid and advanced
design software.
Although President Trump and President Xi recently spoke,
(09:58):
it remains unclear whether that will ease these
tensions or reverse the restriction.
We don't really know.
But I know one thing, they are playing
some games because they want to get a
certain response.
Number three, the UK judge warns lawyers against
using fake AI cases.
(10:18):
In a system.
And a stern way, this warning to the
legal world, the UK judge cautioned attorneys about
referencing fake or AI generated legal cases in
court filings.
The warning follows a growing trend, folks, of
(10:38):
professionals relying on generative AI tools without verifying
their outputs.
The incident underscores the urgent need for legal
ethics to evolve alongside technological advancements.
And I think that's important.
You know what's going on?
(10:59):
I mean, what happened a few years ago
with that case, right?
It was a mess and.
The court is starting to realize that they
were taken advantage of and they don't want
this to ever happen again.
I think that's probably the biggest thing that
I can tell you about this is that
they don't want it to happen again.
And it was all because of the AI's
(11:21):
misuse in that trial where the attorney got
basically long term sentenced.
I don't think he got barred yet, but
he can't really practice.
So it's almost the same thing.
The warning reflects the growing global concerns about
lawyers relying on AI generated briefs, but fictitious
content in court submissions.
(11:44):
And this is definitely something, guys, that I
feel most people just don't understand.
Maybe they don't want to understand.
And I think the reason they don't want
to understand.
Is because.
It's going to change how they have to
live.
And I know that might sound.
Scary.
(12:06):
It might sound scary, but I want to
tell you something.
I want to tell you that the choice
to move forward is completely up to you.
So is it just happening in the UK?
It's happening other places, too.
I mean, this is no secret, right?
But now that they're starting to get serious
(12:27):
about these cases and the fact that they
want to make sure that they're legitimate and
they actually can do.
What they say they can.
That's what it is at the end of
the day.
And we'll just have to see, you know,
what's going on and why things are going
on, because I feel that a lot of
people don't really get this, but you can't
(12:49):
use AI to just synthesize information.
And then the information that you synthesize is
wrong.
I mean, literally he brought up cases.
He never even took the time or bothered
to make sure the case really was real.
So we'll have to see what happens, but
we will keep you in the loop on
that as well.
Number four this week, China rolls out driverless
(13:12):
trucks in major logistics push, and China is
deploying fleet of autonomous trucks as part of
its smart logistics transformation.
Sounds pretty good.
The Rowett is centered in the key industrial
zones and powered by a mix of 5g
AI and IOT internet of things technologies with
(13:35):
companies like JD logistics and Alibaba investing heavily
in automation.
The shift aims to reduce operational costs and
streamline delivery networks.
I think that's a very, very important thing.
Number five, the United States postal service is
going to do something pretty cool.
You know what that is?
Yup.
(13:55):
Announcing the biannual stamp price hike through 2027.
The United States postal service has announced a
schedule of biannual stamp price increases through 2027.
We'll continue after that.
Who knows?
While intended to address budget deficits and inflationary
(14:16):
pressures, the move has drawn criticism from consumer
groups.
Some worry it could, uh, further reduce mail
volume as Americans turned to digital alternatives.
And I think when we ponder about that
and, you know, we ask ourselves, you know,
(14:38):
like right now, how much is a stamp?
How much is a first class stamp?
And most people probably don't know.
73 cents is what it costs for one
ounce letter and it will never expire.
Even if the postage rate goes up, if
you buy the forever stamps, that's why it's
(14:58):
good to buy the forever stamps.
The price for the first class postage being
73 cents, a standard size rectangular postcard stamp
costs 56 cents.
International global forever stamps.
Well, they're a dollar 65.
That's a lot of money.
Big difference with the 73 cents.
So there's some important considerations.
(15:19):
First of all, one thing we have to
think about is how this works, right?
Letters, one ounce pieces, 73 cents.
The planned price hike on July 13th.
That's one month from today.
(15:41):
Okay.
It's 78 cents.
That is a 5 cent increment.
It seems more than just the cost of
living, right?
If you're thinking about domestic postcards, they're 56
(16:03):
cents, but they will go up to 61
cents.
International postcard or letters, $1.65 or $1
.70. So forever stamps purchased at the current
price, 73 cents will still be valid for
sending a one ounce letter, even at the
price increase.
(16:24):
So the moral of the story is to
definitely get those forever stamps.
Also, if you have a postage meter, I'm
not sure if you guys know this, but
postage meters, I think they did, postage meters
save you one penny per postage.
The other thing I like about these systems
is that we have a choice.
(16:48):
Okay.
If you have a first class letter using
a postage meter compared to buying stamps at
the post office, you save 4 cents per
first class letter.
So the question is how much guys is
(17:08):
a metered stamp for one ounce.
So a metered stamp for a one ounce
letter is currently costing 69 cents.
This is a discount from the retail price
of 73 cents for a traditional stamp.
(17:29):
And the price of meter stamps will increase
to 74 cents, 70, 71, 72.
So they're going to go up 4 cents,
70, 71, 72, 74, 74 cents, 70, 71,
72, 73, 5 cents.
You do get a little bit cheaper when
you have a postal meter, but I think
(17:51):
a lot of people are scrounging because the
fact that the postal services keep raising prices,
it's going to be cheaper to call somebody
than it is to mail something.
And that used to be upside down before.
Now it's really messed up.
Number six, NASA risks setbacks.
If SpaceX Dragon program ends, that's a big
(18:18):
one.
That's a very, very big one.
So NASA's reliance on the SpaceX Dragon, we
call it, capsule for the astronaut transport has
raised concerns should the program be discontinued or
delayed.
Now, Dragon has become the cornerstone of crewed
missions to the ISS and any disruption could
(18:39):
derail the U.S. Space goals affecting international
cooperation and of course, technological progress in low
level, um, work.
(19:08):
I think that's something that a lot of
people kind of ponder for a minute.
And I think about where things are going.
And so with this whole thing with NASA
and, uh, Elon Musk and the possible ending
of SpaceX Dragon, it's only possible.
(19:29):
It's not saying it's going to happen.
Dragon has become, I said, the cornerstone of
the crewed missions to the ISS.
If it was to fall out tomorrow, what
would that mean?
It would mean the United States would have
to be, well, very dependent on Russia.
I don't think our country wants to be
(19:50):
known on Russia.
I just, I just don't think so.
I mean, that's just, that's just my, my
guess.
Um, and maybe that's something you don't quite
understand, but I think it comes down to
one thing guys.
(20:11):
And that one thing I want to share
with you is having a plan.
Having a backup plan is so very, very
critical.
So if let's just say tomorrow, okay.
If we just suppose what would happen if
(20:32):
SpaceX Dragon pulled their support?
Well, a lot of things, potential loss of
lives of highly educated, highly sought after people,
(20:54):
the program would likely be put on hold
for at least several months as NASA and
the FAA direct every little step and cubic
millimeter of SpaceX manufacturing and vehicle design at
the conclusion of the investigation, uh, key manufacturing
steps would be improved and emphasize.
New engineering details will lead to new improvement.
(21:14):
The history of engineering is paved through with
the blood.
I should say of many others on the
journey to perfection.
Humanity is not perfect guys or infallible.
So we invent systems to trap our mistakes
before we make it to the launch pad.
(21:36):
And so you might be saying, John, well,
you know, if this happens, are we, are
we going to be able to get anywhere?
And I think the answer is yes, because.
It's going to be a lesson for us,
a journey for us.
So we can't have our heads in the
cloud.
We just, we just can't.
(21:58):
I think that's a very, um, important thing,
guys, a very, very important.
All right.
So we're talking about the iOS by the
way.
Okay.
The next thing is iOS 19 is rumored
to include vision pro design and, uh, AI.
So the question you might be asking is
(22:19):
when it's a very good question.
When is iOS 19 releasing?
When is iOS 19 releasing?
It's likely going to come out in September,
2025 alongside the launch of the new iPhone
(22:39):
17 Apple typically releases major iOS updates with
the new phones.
I mean, that's pretty much, you know, what
they, what they do.
They're doing it for years.
So Apple's planning to merge the design language
from the vision pro with the iPhone user
interface alongside significant AI feature boosts, expected improvements,
(23:03):
including smarter, serious suggestions, adaptive user interfaces, and
more personalized experiences.
Making a leap toward context aware values.
But again, what does all this mean?
(23:24):
Again, it's a new thing Apple's doing.
And so they're looking at calling this, this
iOS, and this is a real interesting change.
They're not going to call it 19.
For the first time, Apple's actually going to
coincide the version with the year.
They're going to call it iOS 26.
(23:47):
And this is what was stated at the
WWDC, the Worldwide Developers Conference.
And so maybe you're saying to me, John,
what's this really going to do for me?
Well, these are only rumors.
These are not valid.
Okay.
iOS 19 or iOS, I should say the
(24:07):
name that they're going to call it, which
is iOS 26, it's expected to be compatible
with all iPhones that currently support iOS 18,
being devices from the iPhone 11 series and
newer will receive the update.
Anything below an iPhone 11, well, sorry, you're
going to have to get a new phone.
This includes the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11
(24:28):
Pro, the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and the
iPhone SE second and third generation.
And so now that you understand a little
bit about that, I'm hoping that you'll appreciate
where it's going and what it's doing.
So we don't have a lot of data
on it, but we do have some rumors
as to the facts that it's going to
(24:49):
be obviously more intelligent screen is going to
be supposedly easier to navigate.
I mean, these are just things that they're
speculating.
We don't have anything in writing on this.
I mean, we really don't.
And I know you're probably saying like this,
this doesn't make sense.
(25:11):
Right.
Apple's trying to really win over a major
market share.
Now they have quite a bit of business
right now, but things have fallen off for
Apple.
Okay.
They've been up, they've been down.
So I think that's important to see.
(25:32):
And so, so what features will be in
iOS?
It's really 19 iOS 2026.
What features will be in there?
Well, there's a new design with liquid glass.
They call it group chat upgrades and messenger
pin music for your Apple music library photo
(25:55):
app, regains navigation to the tab bar, hold
assist for the phone app and brand new
Apple games app.
And I think that's something that we're going
to have to wait and see what the
heck Apple's going to do.
(26:15):
You know, they try to make everything more
intuitive.
So the new design with liquid glass, um,
it's a feature you've likely already heard about,
but it's big iOS 16 introduces a major
new design that impacts every part of your
phone.
That's pretty cool.
(26:36):
Number two group chat upgrades iOS 26 often
gives Apple messages throughout while using it.
I know I was waiting for the phone
to come back.
They're doing a PHP install.
I say a PHP, reinstall an update.
And I think when we appreciate like where
(27:00):
technology was and where technology is going, like
that's just huge guys.
That is so huge.
It's more than I can ever put into
any kind of word or just say words.
And number eight guys, uh, Tesla's optimist robot
VP departs amid program reshuffle the VP overseeing
(27:26):
Tesla's optimist humanoid robot has departed amid that
he insists the project is still on track
industry and the analysts suspect strategic pivots may
be on top.
And that's something that's also, again, this all
could be speculation, right?
(27:49):
It all could be speculation because we really
don't have anything concrete.
Autos was positioned as a breakthrough in AI
driven robotics and leadership changes could slow or
(28:12):
redirect its development over time guys over time.
That is number nine, Italy confirms spyware targeted
migrant activists, not journalists and official investigation was
conducted and Italy confirmed that controversial spyware tools
(28:37):
were deployed against migrant rights activists rather than
the journalists.
So what does that mean?
It means that Italy use their software to
gain intelligence, to spy on people.
This revelation shifts the narrative and raises lots
(29:01):
of questions, especially new ethical concerns about surveillance
practices, transparency advocates argue this, uh, further justify
stronger legal framework along digital surveillance.
And when we understand how an ecosystem works,
(29:22):
when we understand what components are needed in
there, then we're able to be less stressed
because the environment's going to take care of
itself.
And that's pretty much what's going to happen.
Number 10 guys, Apple introduces brain computer interface
for accessibility.
Apple has unveiled a pioneering brain interface.
(29:45):
They call it BCI brain computer interface, pretty
easy to remember.
It's targeted at individuals with mobility challenges at
it does this.
Because people, okay.
(30:09):
Are wanting to have more of a way
in life, right?
And this way is a leap forward into
assistive tech and reinforces Apple's commitment to inclusive
design.
Now that sounds like something that's very, very
(30:30):
easy to understand.
And it is, but there's a lot guys
going on in there.
I mean, you're talking about stuff that sounds
very easy, but the end of the day,
guess what it's not.
It's stuff that you would think would be
easy, but it's just not.
(30:52):
There are so many laws, there's so many
regulations.
And so when we try to figure out
like, you know, what works and what doesn't
work, we have to understand that bridging into
this brain computer interface world that Apple is
supposedly setting up for us could be a
good thing.
(31:12):
And it also, my friends could be a
bad thing, right?
I've told you technology and the tools and
technology, they're tools, right?
They're not good and they are not bad.
It's how we choose to use them.
That makes them so, so now that you
understand like where Apple's going and the reason
(31:33):
they're doing this is because they know that
if they get this going, it's going to
open up a new market.
Like for example, you guys know right now
that Ray-Ban makes the sunglasses.
I actually got them not too long ago.
So Ray-Ban stories, okay.
Won't work right now with TikTok and that's
(32:01):
a problem.
Okay.
There's no integration with TikTok.
You just capture videos with glasses and share
them to your men accounts, but you would
need to upload them manually to TikTok if
you want them to appear there.
The question you're probably asking is will Ray
(32:23):
-Ban, will Ray-Ban stories ever work with
TikTok?
Well, I can't give you an answer to
that because it's like they're two different entities,
they're two different parts of the world.
So you could stream with Ray-Ban glasses,
(32:46):
typically to Facebook and to Instagram.
According to Meta, the live stream ensures your
glasses need to be powered on and connected
to the Meta AI mobile app.
And then you follow the prompts within Facebook
or Instagram app to start the streaming sharing.
The glasses allow for hands-free listening, offering
(33:07):
a unique perspective and showing people that, you
know, these technologies have really some big, big
benefits, but many people implement and they don't
do what's right for the greater good of
all concerned.
Now, somebody asked me just the other day,
(33:28):
John, how do you do what's right for
the greater good of all concerned when many
of the greater good of all concerned, they
all challenge your belief.
They challenge your belief.
Like, what are you supposed to do when
they challenge your belief?
I don't know, but I find that it's
(33:49):
something that you need to be aware of.
I think a lot of the things we
do in life are all about being aware,
right?
If we're aware of something, then we can
obviously avoid something.
(34:10):
We can do the things we need to
do because again, we are in the moment.
We're in that moment.
And that moment may not even be your
moment when you thought about it.
It only becomes your moment when you start
(34:32):
to bring everyone else into it.
That's a little bit crazy, guys, a little
crazy.
So before I go into the points, which,
you know, I always do, I want to
ask everyone here a question, if AI technology
(34:59):
was suddenly gone tomorrow, what would happen now?
It's not going to be gone tomorrow.
Okay.
So don't panic.
It's not going anywhere, but what would AI
do?
What would you do if AI was gone
tomorrow?
(35:19):
What would you do?
Have you ever asked yourself that question?
What would happen if AI disappeared tomorrow?
The world would face a significant set of
(35:40):
disruptions across various sectors.
So that would be industrial and infrastructural disruption,
critical systems, failure, industries like healthcare, banking, transportation,
and entertainment, heavily rely on AI for critical
process and would experience significant disruptions, logical and
(36:04):
security challenges.
AI is embedded in supply chains now and
security systems.
So it's disappearance would cause serious short-term
disruptions in these areas, economic impact, reduced efficiency
and productivity.
AI is used in businesses to enhance productivity
and promote growth.
Without it, companies would struggle to maintain their
current levels of efficiency and competitiveness, slower processes
(36:27):
and bottlenecks, tasks currently handled by AI, such
as data analysis and customer support by chat
bots would revert to manual procedures, leading to
slower processes and potential bottlenecks, impact on daily
(36:49):
life, loss of a personal experience, smart devices,
recommendation algorithms, and personalized experiences would become so
obsolete, making daily life less convenient and individualized.
Adaptation will be required while humans are resilient
and very, let's say, powerful and resourceful, it
(37:14):
would need to force them to learn to
manage without convenience.
AI provides in its various aspects of life,
including transportation, entertainment, and potentially even navigating
without digital maps.
That's just a lot guys.
That is like a lot.
(37:36):
Setbacks in science and medicine, hindered research and
progress, AI is extensively used in medical research,
diagnosis, and treatment planning.
Its absence would impede progress in these fields,
technological regression, stalled advancements.
The disappearance of AI would halt research and
develop in AI related areas like robotics, machine
(37:58):
learning, and automation leading to a reversal of
technological progress, but what does it mean in
short?
A sudden disappearance of AI would be a
jarring effect to the public, causing widespread disruption
and challenges.
The immediate impact would be significant across industries,
the economy, daily life, and significant process.
(38:19):
So people only ask me, would losing AI
tomorrow be like what?
Losing AI tomorrow, would it be like a
change?
(38:39):
And would it be like, let's say, would
it be like the Y2K problem?
Little bit of breakdown on that.
The Y2K problem was a known software bug
that threatened to cause widespread system failures because
it couldn't model two digit years at the
(39:03):
turn of the millennium.
It stemmed from the practice of representing years
with only the two last digits, which could
lead to date related errors.
The Y2K problem was anticipated and largely mitigated
through extensive preparation and remediation efforts by governments
and businesses worldwide.
The impact of losing AI tomorrow is more
complex and very uncertain.
(39:25):
It would depend on nature and scale of
AI usage today.
If AI systems are deeply embedded in critical
infrastructures, businesses, and daily life, a sudden loss
could have significant consequences.
I'm not saying all the time.
I'm just saying that the initial jar is
going to cause people to have that knee
(39:47):
-jerk reaction.
So consequences of it could be things like
job displacement, economic disruption, a decline in human
skills.
That's really key, guys.
And critical thinking due to over-reliance on
AI.
I want to touch on that for a
(40:08):
moment.
And what I want to share with that
is that when we think about AI, okay,
and we think about math and technology, a
lot of kids and a lot of people
in the world, they cannot make change.
They do not go through that mental exercise
in their head.
They just don't.
(40:28):
Society dependent on AI could also face vulnerabilities
to AI failures like cyber attacks or biases.
Other concerns include potential erosion of privacy, risks
of surveillance, and homogenization of thought and creativity.
The concentration and concentration of AI power could
also lead to manipulation or control and the
(40:51):
computational power required for AI models raises environmental
concerns.
Finally, there are worries about diminished human to
human interaction as a result of AI driven
automation.
While the UK, I should say the Y2K
problem was specific, time-bound technical challenge losing
AI tomorrow would be a much more significant,
(41:12):
broader problem, more complex event with potentially far
reaching unpredictable consequences that even if we spend
an hour or two to come up with
them, I come up with many of them,
but there would still be some that we
may not be aware of.
And I think that's a huge thing for
so many people I talk to each day.
AI is not going anywhere, right?
(41:35):
Here's the part of the show that I
really, really love the most.
So I'm going to go ahead and basically
give you, um, some points.
Let me give you some stories.
So I'm going to basically give you, um,
I'm going to give you one personal, uh,
(41:56):
story or lesson for each point.
Okay.
And it's my hope that you'll take these
points and apply them into your life, apply
them into your life.
(42:19):
Now, I'm not going to say guys at
every point is easy.
Okay.
I'm not going to say that, but I
want to let you know that if you
make excuses for yourself, right?
Whether it's, uh, AI or whether it's some
(42:43):
of the technology or something else in our
world.
If we constantly make excuses for something, then
we're obviously going to be causing problems.
Trump cuts ties with Elon Musk over policy
clash.
I remember once collaborating with a powerful business
associate who shared my vision until our values
around data privacy diverged, and I was very
(43:06):
concerned about keeping things safe.
He, on the other hand was not.
Like Trump and Musk, what started as alignment
became a clash more than a disalignment.
The lesson always make sure partnerships are built
on what you need and they have the
core values.
(43:27):
So beliefs don't get in the way, but
when core beliefs collide, even the strongest alliances
can break, can fall apart, thinking about the
U S halting the nuclear part exports to
China and mid trade, big problem.
(43:51):
Years ago, I was doing some work on
a tech export project where we had to
pause everything due to compliance risks.
It reminded me how global partnerships can shift
on a dime, protect the intellectual property and
national interests often outweigh.
The business growth and being proactive and understanding
(44:12):
expert laws is non negotiable guys.
Number three, the UK judge warns lawyers against
using fake AI cases.
I once tested an AI writing tool and
found it made up sources.
It gave wrong answers to math problems.
It didn't understand things.
(44:35):
And then when I challenged, it was like,
Oh, you're right.
That shocked me and made me realize how
important it is to cross check every AI
generated claim, every AI generated query, this story
shows why professionals must never blindly trust technology,
especially AI technology without a human review.
I've always said, you got to have at
(44:56):
least one or two humans in the loop.
Tech is a tool guys.
It's not a truth machine.
And, um, it's not good.
It's not bad.
It's how we choose to use it.
That makes it so.
Number four, China rolls out the driverless trucks
in major logistics push.
So I remember a tech conference where I
(45:17):
saw a demo of a driverless delivery robot,
and that was interesting.
I would like to suggest that we look
at what's going on.
I recall a tech conference where I saw
a live demo of a driverless delivery robot.
(45:40):
At first I'm like, wow, this is cool.
It wowed me, it wowed the crowd, but
I also noticed how many safety checks were
running behind the scenes.
China, uh, move shows the scale of what's
possible, but also the responsibility of making it
truly safe and efficient.
And, um, I think that's the thing that
(46:03):
scares a lot of people is that we
can't just be running on things like Terminator,
right?
We have to make sure that the data
is correct.
We can't just look at it once and
say it's correct.
Cause that's going to just screw everything up.
Number five, the United States postal service announces
the biannual stamp price hike through 2027.
(46:28):
This just blows my mind.
I remember running a direct mail campaign and
we do a lot in the marketing company.
Stamps costs eight into our budget.
Very fast.
United States postal service raised prices twice a
year.
And it may seem like you just can't
(46:51):
do it.
Right.
And so the stamp costs, as I said,
eight into, um, a budget very fast.
United States postal service raising prices twice a
year may seem small, but over time it
adds up, especially for small businesses.
(47:12):
It taught me to diversify marketing strategies and
never rely on a single channel because, Hey
guys, a single channel might be wrong and
you can't put all your eggs in one
basket.
You've got to use different baskets.
Number six, our good old friends at NASA.
Yes.
Risk setback.
If SpaceX dragon program ends once I visited
(47:41):
Kennedy space and actually built it a few
times.
And I watched SpaceX's launch.
It was awe inspiring.
SpaceX breed new life into NASA's missions.
But the story reminded me not to leap
too heavily on one solution.
Always build in redundancy and partnerships that can
(48:01):
scale when the time needs that.
Number seven, the iOS 19 rumored to include
vision 17 and pro.
And I think that's a very, um, important
thing.
(48:22):
Apple's rumored updates reminded me, like I said,
of a redesign, uh, that I had for
my own app to be more intuitive, just
small changes in the design boosted engagement drastically.
Apple's strategy shows how merging, uh, creative things
in design can boost engagement.
(48:46):
So Apple strategy shows that this merge with
the hardware and software can create a smarter
and more unified user experience.
And I think that's something that a lot
of people don't really take home.
Tesla Optimus robot VP departs amid program reshuffle.
(49:08):
I've seen promising projects stumble after visionary leaders
have left.
Sometimes they leave for personal reasons, family or
other other times they leave because they don't
want to be part of the project or
people aren't listening to them.
It doesn't always mean failure guys, but it
does require strong hands-off and a resilient
(49:28):
team.
Tesla's reshuffle is a good reminder that leadership
transitions must be planned with precision.
That hits home guys, that hits home.
When somebody leaves the company, they don't want
to leave the company.
(49:49):
They leave the company because of something that
happened, right?
And that's probably a good thing.
If somebody asked me, Hey, John, why do
top executives and engineers leave a company on
their own?
I think what you would get from me
(50:09):
is this.
They're tired of what's there.
They want a new challenge, right?
They feel like they're dead end.
Misalignment with the company's direction and their own
core values.
Leadership restructuring, major organizations or acquisitions can shift
responsibility and reduce autonomy.
(50:30):
This can make former empowered leaders feel sidelined
or undervalued, prompting shifts, culture shifts, or erosion
of company's internal culture is a big deal.
It's a very, very big deal.
And they want to go out on a
high note.
Number six, burnout or work-life rebalancing.
(50:53):
Even the most dedicated professionals can hit a
wall.
Long hours, high stress, or personal life shifts,
family or health or friends.
And it can drive the decision to step
back or just slightly pivot.
Number seven, financial independence, or basically exiting windfall.
(51:16):
If they've cashed out on stock options or
equity, they may simply feel it's the right
time to explore passion projects, start a venture
on their own or take a break, maybe
better offers or poaching has approached them.
Top talent is always in demand.
Sometimes it's as simple as being offered a
(51:39):
meaningful, powerful, creative contract that allows you to
express your freedom.
I think that's something that's a very, very
powerful.
And the lesson with number nine, Italy confirms
spyware targeted migrant activists.
Now not journalists.
(52:00):
Years back, I worked on a cybersecurity case
that involved ethical questions.
It's a delicate balance guys, security versus rights
and freedom.
This news from Italy highlights how easily surveillance
can be misused and reinforces why strong checks
and balances need to happen, not just once,
(52:22):
but many times.
Apple introducing the brain computer interface, the, uh,
the BC, um, I for accessibility at an
expo recently, I met a man using an
eye tracking software to code.
It was life changing for him.
Apple's brain interface tech built on that same
(52:48):
mission, powering those with mobility challenges, tech likes,
this reminds us why inclusivity should always be
central in any design.
Number 11, Arizona Supreme court launching the AI
(53:08):
avatars for legal news.
I once used a chat bot to answer
some facts on my site.
It saved hours each week.
Arizona's use of AI avatars shows how even
the legal world is embracing automation to connect
better with the public, but human oversight is
(53:30):
still essential.
So when I did that, I always went
back and check to make sure those answers
were correct.
That's key.
Number 12 Nintendo switch to launch sparks an
amazing global retail frenzy.
Remember when the original switch launched, I remember
(53:52):
standing in line to buy it.
The excitement was so electric.
You could feel in every muscle, every bone
and cell and ligament tenant in your body.
I sit in line to buy it and
I just waited there patiently.
The excitement was electric.
It reminded me how is he good?
(54:13):
Right.
Basically connect to something else.
And so excitement and the electricity caused me
to really appreciate this.
It also reminded me how great tech connects
people through play switch to his buzz shows
(54:36):
that emotion is a powerful driver in tech
adoption.
13, the NTSB links jet fire to fuel
leak in, uh, and around the maintenance failures
in tech, one overlooked detail can lead to
a complete disaster.
And that disaster guys could mean, unfortunately, someone
(54:57):
losing their life or more.
I once ignored a minor warning until it
caused a full on crash.
The chip fire story is a stark reminder
of why routine maintenance and attention to small
red flags can prevent major failures.
(55:18):
Maybe you're saying, John, you know, my website
is perfect.
I never have any issues.
So I've said this before, guys, it's not
a question of if you're going to get
attack, but when, if you are not properly,
I think that's probably something that most people
don't understand and don't appreciate, not a question
(55:41):
of if you're going to get attacked, but
when, if you're not properly protected, that's pretty
amazing.
So I'm saying to you, it's not a
question of if, but when, if you're not
probably protected, so that means that you've got
to be doing certain things to ensure that
(56:02):
you are doing your best.
Right.
And that you're going to mitigate any damages.
I've said to you before that if you
don't do proactive checks, being reactive is going
to cost you more money than being proactive.
So in this project we're working on, everything
(56:25):
was very smooth.
However, one of the cores we're using for
a chat system said everything was good.
The libraries were good.
Everything was updated.
So we figured everything was fine.
Cause it had like an engine that went
out and checked the core.
Well, we noticed that their site suddenly went
down.
(56:46):
Like what happened?
And so I remember when this happened the
very first time, I remember how I felt.
Of course we were proactive.
(57:07):
Okay.
And I know that by doing
what's going on and doing the things proactively,
I know that that can make a huge
difference in your life and so many other
(57:28):
people's lives.
Okay.
I think that's probably one of the big
things that I can share with you is
that maybe it's not about just today.
It's about the bigger picture.
So we obviously caught this issue of, you
know, what happened and what we wound up
(57:48):
doing was we basically looked at what was
going on and I will tell you that
we discovered the leak was coming from a
vulnerability in a chat script.
Now, even though we saw everything was fine,
we still had to do what we needed
(58:09):
to, to make sure this didn't happen or
cause any problem.
So we were proactive.

the dots for you between today's most important
(02:56):
stories and tomorrow's future.
So you can always catch the latest episode
by visiting BelieveMeAchieve.com and then clicking on
The JMOR Tech Talk Show.
All right, guys, first one.
So Mr. President Trump cuts ties with Elon
(03:18):
Musk over a policy clash, a major political
and a tech clash occurred as Donald Trump
officially severed ties with Elon Musk.
Now, President Trump was reportedly frustrated over policy
disagreements, particularly regarding AI regulations and digital free
(03:40):
speech boundaries.
This split could signal a deeper divide between
political leaders and those in and around, yes,
Silicon Valley, the titans, we call them, who
were once aligned.
The tech industry now watches closely to see
how Musk's platforms basically respond and how this
(04:05):
impacts his political leverage.
So we'll have to see what's going on
there.
But, you know, I don't know if I
buy the fact that it's over because Trump
does a lot of things, you know, just
for just for the reason of just because.
(04:25):
Right.
And that's probably something that a lot of
people don't get, right, is is the just
because.
And so.
I know a lot of people do things
because of a reason, but.
(04:46):
Mr. Trump, President Trump, I should say, does
things to get attention, OK?
That's very, very important to understand.
That you are doing things for the right
(05:07):
reasons, OK, and by the right reasons, I
mean things that are going to make an
impact in your life and those that you
care so much about.
All right.
When somebody just does something willy nilly, all
right, what that tells me is that they're
(05:28):
doing this, but they're not really doing what's
best for everyone.
I think that's probably a very, very big
concern, a concern that many people don't understand.
But it's something that I think a lot
of people need to realize.
They need to realize this.
And so when you decide to do something,
(05:50):
for whatever reason that is, you have to
understand that if you're doing something just to
get seen or to get heard, well, then
chances are you're going to run into problems.
I mean, that's just that's just a given,
guys.
That is a big, big given.
And so, you know what Trump did, I
(06:12):
don't know if I believe it.
I have a strong hunch that it could
be a political play.
I mean, it could be.
I'm not saying it is.
But I just know he's done things like
this in the past.
All right.
So we'll have to keep our eyes on
him and what they're doing, because this change
is not just going to affect one person.
(06:34):
We all know that, right?
This is going to affect the global economy
and where things are going.
So President Donald Trump publicly ended his relationship
with billionaire Elon Musk recently, warning of, quote
unquote, serious consequences if Musk supports Democratic candidates
who oppose Trump's economic agenda.
(06:56):
Sounds like a threat to me.
Once a major donor to Trump's campaign and
a leader of a federal efficiency initiative, Musk
has recently criticized Trump's new tax and spending
bill as a disgusting abomination.
And I quote, prompting a feud that has
escalated publicly.
(07:16):
Although Musk has deleted posts attacking Trump and
insiders, they suggest that he may seek reconciliation.
Trump insists he has no plans to speak
to Musk.
Despite the tension, Trump confirmed no intention to
cancel government contracts with Musk's companies like SpaceX
and Starlink.
The fallout comes as Republicans with slim congressional
(07:38):
majorities are surfacing.
If pushes to pass the controversial bill by
July 4th, even amid warnings, it could add
a 2.4 trillion dollar increase to the
national deficit debt.
So I think that's an important thing to
understand.
And so I don't know if the relationship
(08:00):
is kind of like over, like people do
things in public because they want to make
a scene.
They want people to react.
I mean, so we'll have to just see
what happens.
OK, guys.
Number two, the United States halts nuclear part
exports to China amid the trade tensions.
Now, the United States has escalated its trade
(08:21):
restrictions, halting the export of sensitive, quote unquote,
nuclear components to China.
This move stems from rising concerns over technology
misuse and national security.
The decision adds a new layer of strain
in already tense trade relationship and highlights the
growing challenge of balancing international collaboration with domestic
(08:47):
safety interests.
I think that's a problem for a lot
of people, a lot of people.
And so when we think about this whole
thing, right.
The U.S. is spending licenses for basically
the American nuclear equipment suppliers, including companies like,
(09:08):
yes, Westinghouse and Emerson to ship parts to
Chinese power plants amid the escalating trade tensions
we talked about between the two countries.
Now, the move is part of a broader
wave of recent export restrictions, and it comes
as the U.S. accuses China of breaching
a tariff truce and misusing rare earth elements.
While China criticizes Washington for overreacting and reaching
(09:32):
with export controls, these license suspensions, which could
impact hundreds of millions in businesses, also coincide
with tightened rules on the critical exports like
jet engines, hydraulic fluids, ethane liquid and advanced
design software.
Although President Trump and President Xi recently spoke,
(09:58):
it remains unclear whether that will ease these
tensions or reverse the restriction.
We don't really know.
But I know one thing, they are playing
some games because they want to get a
certain response.
Number three, the UK judge warns lawyers against
using fake AI cases.
(10:18):
In a system.
And a stern way, this warning to the
legal world, the UK judge cautioned attorneys about
referencing fake or AI generated legal cases in
court filings.
The warning follows a growing trend, folks, of
(10:38):
professionals relying on generative AI tools without verifying
their outputs.
The incident underscores the urgent need for legal
ethics to evolve alongside technological advancements.
And I think that's important.
You know what's going on?
(10:59):
I mean, what happened a few years ago
with that case, right?
It was a mess and.
The court is starting to realize that they
were taken advantage of and they don't want
this to ever happen again.
I think that's probably the biggest thing that
I can tell you about this is that
they don't want it to happen again.
And it was all because of the AI's
(11:21):
misuse in that trial where the attorney got
basically long term sentenced.
I don't think he got barred yet, but
he can't really practice.
So it's almost the same thing.
The warning reflects the growing global concerns about
lawyers relying on AI generated briefs, but fictitious
content in court submissions.
(11:44):
And this is definitely something, guys, that I
feel most people just don't understand.
Maybe they don't want to understand.
And I think the reason they don't want
to understand.
Is because.
It's going to change how they have to
live.
And I know that might sound.
Scary.
(12:06):
It might sound scary, but I want to
tell you something.
I want to tell you that the choice
to move forward is completely up to you.
So is it just happening in the UK?
It's happening other places, too.
I mean, this is no secret, right?
But now that they're starting to get serious
(12:27):
about these cases and the fact that they
want to make sure that they're legitimate and
they actually can do.
What they say they can.
That's what it is at the end of
the day.
And we'll just have to see, you know,
what's going on and why things are going
on, because I feel that a lot of
people don't really get this, but you can't
(12:49):
use AI to just synthesize information.
And then the information that you synthesize is
wrong.
I mean, literally he brought up cases.
He never even took the time or bothered
to make sure the case really was real.
So we'll have to see what happens, but
we will keep you in the loop on
that as well.
Number four this week, China rolls out driverless
(13:12):
trucks in major logistics push, and China is
deploying fleet of autonomous trucks as part of
its smart logistics transformation.
Sounds pretty good.
The Rowett is centered in the key industrial
zones and powered by a mix of 5g
AI and IOT internet of things technologies with
(13:35):
companies like JD logistics and Alibaba investing heavily
in automation.
The shift aims to reduce operational costs and
streamline delivery networks.
I think that's a very, very important thing.
Number five, the United States postal service is
going to do something pretty cool.
You know what that is?
Yup.
(13:55):
Announcing the biannual stamp price hike through 2027.
The United States postal service has announced a
schedule of biannual stamp price increases through 2027.
We'll continue after that.
Who knows?
While intended to address budget deficits and inflationary
(14:16):
pressures, the move has drawn criticism from consumer
groups.
Some worry it could, uh, further reduce mail
volume as Americans turned to digital alternatives.
And I think when we ponder about that
and, you know, we ask ourselves, you know,
(14:38):
like right now, how much is a stamp?
How much is a first class stamp?
And most people probably don't know.
73 cents is what it costs for one
ounce letter and it will never expire.
Even if the postage rate goes up, if
you buy the forever stamps, that's why it's
(14:58):
good to buy the forever stamps.
The price for the first class postage being
73 cents, a standard size rectangular postcard stamp
costs 56 cents.
International global forever stamps.
Well, they're a dollar 65.
That's a lot of money.
Big difference with the 73 cents.
So there's some important considerations.
(15:19):
First of all, one thing we have to
think about is how this works, right?
Letters, one ounce pieces, 73 cents.
The planned price hike on July 13th.
That's one month from today.
(15:41):
Okay.
It's 78 cents.
That is a 5 cent increment.
It seems more than just the cost of
living, right?
If you're thinking about domestic postcards, they're 56
(16:03):
cents, but they will go up to 61
cents.
International postcard or letters, $1.65 or $1
.70. So forever stamps purchased at the current
price, 73 cents will still be valid for
sending a one ounce letter, even at the
price increase.
(16:24):
So the moral of the story is to
definitely get those forever stamps.
Also, if you have a postage meter, I'm
not sure if you guys know this, but
postage meters, I think they did, postage meters
save you one penny per postage.
The other thing I like about these systems
is that we have a choice.
(16:48):
Okay.
If you have a first class letter using
a postage meter compared to buying stamps at
the post office, you save 4 cents per
first class letter.
So the question is how much guys is
(17:08):
a metered stamp for one ounce.
So a metered stamp for a one ounce
letter is currently costing 69 cents.
This is a discount from the retail price
of 73 cents for a traditional stamp.
(17:29):
And the price of meter stamps will increase
to 74 cents, 70, 71, 72.
So they're going to go up 4 cents,
70, 71, 72, 74, 74 cents, 70, 71,
72, 73, 5 cents.
You do get a little bit cheaper when
you have a postal meter, but I think
(17:51):
a lot of people are scrounging because the
fact that the postal services keep raising prices,
it's going to be cheaper to call somebody
than it is to mail something.
And that used to be upside down before.
Now it's really messed up.
Number six, NASA risks setbacks.
If SpaceX Dragon program ends, that's a big
(18:18):
one.
That's a very, very big one.
So NASA's reliance on the SpaceX Dragon, we
call it, capsule for the astronaut transport has
raised concerns should the program be discontinued or
delayed.
Now, Dragon has become the cornerstone of crewed
missions to the ISS and any disruption could
(18:39):
derail the U.S. Space goals affecting international
cooperation and of course, technological progress in low
level, um, work.
(19:08):
I think that's something that a lot of
people kind of ponder for a minute.
And I think about where things are going.
And so with this whole thing with NASA
and, uh, Elon Musk and the possible ending
of SpaceX Dragon, it's only possible.
(19:29):
It's not saying it's going to happen.
Dragon has become, I said, the cornerstone of
the crewed missions to the ISS.
If it was to fall out tomorrow, what
would that mean?
It would mean the United States would have
to be, well, very dependent on Russia.
I don't think our country wants to be
(19:50):
known on Russia.
I just, I just don't think so.
I mean, that's just, that's just my, my
guess.
Um, and maybe that's something you don't quite
understand, but I think it comes down to
one thing guys.
(20:11):
And that one thing I want to share
with you is having a plan.
Having a backup plan is so very, very
critical.
So if let's just say tomorrow, okay.
If we just suppose what would happen if
(20:32):
SpaceX Dragon pulled their support?
Well, a lot of things, potential loss of
lives of highly educated, highly sought after people,
(20:54):
the program would likely be put on hold
for at least several months as NASA and
the FAA direct every little step and cubic
millimeter of SpaceX manufacturing and vehicle design at
the conclusion of the investigation, uh, key manufacturing
steps would be improved and emphasize.
New engineering details will lead to new improvement.
(21:14):
The history of engineering is paved through with
the blood.
I should say of many others on the
journey to perfection.
Humanity is not perfect guys or infallible.
So we invent systems to trap our mistakes
before we make it to the launch pad.
(21:36):
And so you might be saying, John, well,
you know, if this happens, are we, are
we going to be able to get anywhere?
And I think the answer is yes, because.
It's going to be a lesson for us,
a journey for us.
So we can't have our heads in the
cloud.
We just, we just can't.
(21:58):
I think that's a very, um, important thing,
guys, a very, very important.
All right.
So we're talking about the iOS by the
way.
Okay.
The next thing is iOS 19 is rumored
to include vision pro design and, uh, AI.
So the question you might be asking is
(22:19):
when it's a very good question.
When is iOS 19 releasing?
When is iOS 19 releasing?
It's likely going to come out in September,
2025 alongside the launch of the new iPhone
(22:39):
17 Apple typically releases major iOS updates with
the new phones.
I mean, that's pretty much, you know, what
they, what they do.
They're doing it for years.
So Apple's planning to merge the design language
from the vision pro with the iPhone user
interface alongside significant AI feature boosts, expected improvements,
(23:03):
including smarter, serious suggestions, adaptive user interfaces, and
more personalized experiences.
Making a leap toward context aware values.
But again, what does all this mean?
(23:24):
Again, it's a new thing Apple's doing.
And so they're looking at calling this, this
iOS, and this is a real interesting change.
They're not going to call it 19.
For the first time, Apple's actually going to
coincide the version with the year.
They're going to call it iOS 26.
(23:47):
And this is what was stated at the
WWDC, the Worldwide Developers Conference.
And so maybe you're saying to me, John,
what's this really going to do for me?
Well, these are only rumors.
These are not valid.
Okay.
iOS 19 or iOS, I should say the
(24:07):
name that they're going to call it, which
is iOS 26, it's expected to be compatible
with all iPhones that currently support iOS 18,
being devices from the iPhone 11 series and
newer will receive the update.
Anything below an iPhone 11, well, sorry, you're
going to have to get a new phone.
This includes the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11
(24:28):
Pro, the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and the
iPhone SE second and third generation.
And so now that you understand a little
bit about that, I'm hoping that you'll appreciate
where it's going and what it's doing.
So we don't have a lot of data
on it, but we do have some rumors
as to the facts that it's going to
(24:49):
be obviously more intelligent screen is going to
be supposedly easier to navigate.
I mean, these are just things that they're
speculating.
We don't have anything in writing on this.
I mean, we really don't.
And I know you're probably saying like this,
this doesn't make sense.
(25:11):
Right.
Apple's trying to really win over a major
market share.
Now they have quite a bit of business
right now, but things have fallen off for
Apple.
Okay.
They've been up, they've been down.
So I think that's important to see.
(25:32):
And so, so what features will be in
iOS?
It's really 19 iOS 2026.
What features will be in there?
Well, there's a new design with liquid glass.
They call it group chat upgrades and messenger
pin music for your Apple music library photo
(25:55):
app, regains navigation to the tab bar, hold
assist for the phone app and brand new
Apple games app.
And I think that's something that we're going
to have to wait and see what the
heck Apple's going to do.
(26:15):
You know, they try to make everything more
intuitive.
So the new design with liquid glass, um,
it's a feature you've likely already heard about,
but it's big iOS 16 introduces a major
new design that impacts every part of your
phone.
That's pretty cool.
(26:36):
Number two group chat upgrades iOS 26 often
gives Apple messages throughout while using it.
I know I was waiting for the phone
to come back.
They're doing a PHP install.
I say a PHP, reinstall an update.
And I think when we appreciate like where
(27:00):
technology was and where technology is going, like
that's just huge guys.
That is so huge.
It's more than I can ever put into
any kind of word or just say words.
And number eight guys, uh, Tesla's optimist robot
VP departs amid program reshuffle the VP overseeing
(27:26):
Tesla's optimist humanoid robot has departed amid that
he insists the project is still on track
industry and the analysts suspect strategic pivots may
be on top.
And that's something that's also, again, this all
could be speculation, right?
(27:49):
It all could be speculation because we really
don't have anything concrete.
Autos was positioned as a breakthrough in AI
driven robotics and leadership changes could slow or
(28:12):
redirect its development over time guys over time.
That is number nine, Italy confirms spyware targeted
migrant activists, not journalists and official investigation was
conducted and Italy confirmed that controversial spyware tools
(28:37):
were deployed against migrant rights activists rather than
the journalists.
So what does that mean?
It means that Italy use their software to
gain intelligence, to spy on people.
This revelation shifts the narrative and raises lots
(29:01):
of questions, especially new ethical concerns about surveillance
practices, transparency advocates argue this, uh, further justify
stronger legal framework along digital surveillance.
And when we understand how an ecosystem works,
(29:22):
when we understand what components are needed in
there, then we're able to be less stressed
because the environment's going to take care of
itself.
And that's pretty much what's going to happen.
Number 10 guys, Apple introduces brain computer interface
for accessibility.
Apple has unveiled a pioneering brain interface.
(29:45):
They call it BCI brain computer interface, pretty
easy to remember.
It's targeted at individuals with mobility challenges at
it does this.
Because people, okay.
(30:09):
Are wanting to have more of a way
in life, right?
And this way is a leap forward into
assistive tech and reinforces Apple's commitment to inclusive
design.
Now that sounds like something that's very, very
(30:30):
easy to understand.
And it is, but there's a lot guys
going on in there.
I mean, you're talking about stuff that sounds
very easy, but the end of the day,
guess what it's not.
It's stuff that you would think would be
easy, but it's just not.
(30:52):
There are so many laws, there's so many
regulations.
And so when we try to figure out
like, you know, what works and what doesn't
work, we have to understand that bridging into
this brain computer interface world that Apple is
supposedly setting up for us could be a
good thing.
(31:12):
And it also, my friends could be a
bad thing, right?
I've told you technology and the tools and
technology, they're tools, right?
They're not good and they are not bad.
It's how we choose to use them.
That makes them so, so now that you
understand like where Apple's going and the reason
(31:33):
they're doing this is because they know that
if they get this going, it's going to
open up a new market.
Like for example, you guys know right now
that Ray-Ban makes the sunglasses.
I actually got them not too long ago.
So Ray-Ban stories, okay.
Won't work right now with TikTok and that's
(32:01):
a problem.
Okay.
There's no integration with TikTok.
You just capture videos with glasses and share
them to your men accounts, but you would
need to upload them manually to TikTok if
you want them to appear there.
The question you're probably asking is will Ray
(32:23):
-Ban, will Ray-Ban stories ever work with
TikTok?
Well, I can't give you an answer to
that because it's like they're two different entities,
they're two different parts of the world.
So you could stream with Ray-Ban glasses,
(32:46):
typically to Facebook and to Instagram.
According to Meta, the live stream ensures your
glasses need to be powered on and connected
to the Meta AI mobile app.
And then you follow the prompts within Facebook
or Instagram app to start the streaming sharing.
The glasses allow for hands-free listening, offering
(33:07):
a unique perspective and showing people that, you
know, these technologies have really some big, big
benefits, but many people implement and they don't
do what's right for the greater good of
all concerned.
Now, somebody asked me just the other day,
(33:28):
John, how do you do what's right for
the greater good of all concerned when many
of the greater good of all concerned, they
all challenge your belief.
They challenge your belief.
Like, what are you supposed to do when
they challenge your belief?
I don't know, but I find that it's
(33:49):
something that you need to be aware of.
I think a lot of the things we
do in life are all about being aware,
right?
If we're aware of something, then we can
obviously avoid something.
(34:10):
We can do the things we need to
do because again, we are in the moment.
We're in that moment.
And that moment may not even be your
moment when you thought about it.
It only becomes your moment when you start
(34:32):
to bring everyone else into it.
That's a little bit crazy, guys, a little
crazy.
So before I go into the points, which,
you know, I always do, I want to
ask everyone here a question, if AI technology
(34:59):
was suddenly gone tomorrow, what would happen now?
It's not going to be gone tomorrow.
Okay.
So don't panic.
It's not going anywhere, but what would AI
do?
What would you do if AI was gone
tomorrow?
(35:19):
What would you do?
Have you ever asked yourself that question?
What would happen if AI disappeared tomorrow?
The world would face a significant set of
(35:40):
disruptions across various sectors.
So that would be industrial and infrastructural disruption,
critical systems, failure, industries like healthcare, banking, transportation,
and entertainment, heavily rely on AI for critical
process and would experience significant disruptions, logical and
(36:04):
security challenges.
AI is embedded in supply chains now and
security systems.
So it's disappearance would cause serious short-term
disruptions in these areas, economic impact, reduced efficiency
and productivity.
AI is used in businesses to enhance productivity
and promote growth.
Without it, companies would struggle to maintain their
current levels of efficiency and competitiveness, slower processes
(36:27):
and bottlenecks, tasks currently handled by AI, such
as data analysis and customer support by chat
bots would revert to manual procedures, leading to
slower processes and potential bottlenecks, impact on daily
(36:49):
life, loss of a personal experience, smart devices,
recommendation algorithms, and personalized experiences would become so
obsolete, making daily life less convenient and individualized.
Adaptation will be required while humans are resilient
and very, let's say, powerful and resourceful, it
(37:14):
would need to force them to learn to
manage without convenience.
AI provides in its various aspects of life,
including transportation, entertainment, and potentially even navigating
without digital maps.
That's just a lot guys.
That is like a lot.
(37:36):
Setbacks in science and medicine, hindered research and
progress, AI is extensively used in medical research,
diagnosis, and treatment planning.
Its absence would impede progress in these fields,
technological regression, stalled advancements.
The disappearance of AI would halt research and
develop in AI related areas like robotics, machine
(37:58):
learning, and automation leading to a reversal of
technological progress, but what does it mean in
short?
A sudden disappearance of AI would be a
jarring effect to the public, causing widespread disruption
and challenges.
The immediate impact would be significant across industries,
the economy, daily life, and significant process.
(38:19):
So people only ask me, would losing AI
tomorrow be like what?
Losing AI tomorrow, would it be like a
change?
(38:39):
And would it be like, let's say, would
it be like the Y2K problem?
Little bit of breakdown on that.
The Y2K problem was a known software bug
that threatened to cause widespread system failures because
it couldn't model two digit years at the
(39:03):
turn of the millennium.
It stemmed from the practice of representing years
with only the two last digits, which could
lead to date related errors.
The Y2K problem was anticipated and largely mitigated
through extensive preparation and remediation efforts by governments
and businesses worldwide.
The impact of losing AI tomorrow is more
complex and very uncertain.
(39:25):
It would depend on nature and scale of
AI usage today.
If AI systems are deeply embedded in critical
infrastructures, businesses, and daily life, a sudden loss
could have significant consequences.
I'm not saying all the time.
I'm just saying that the initial jar is
going to cause people to have that knee
(39:47):
-jerk reaction.
So consequences of it could be things like
job displacement, economic disruption, a decline in human
skills.
That's really key, guys.
And critical thinking due to over-reliance on
AI.
I want to touch on that for a
(40:08):
moment.
And what I want to share with that
is that when we think about AI, okay,
and we think about math and technology, a
lot of kids and a lot of people
in the world, they cannot make change.
They do not go through that mental exercise
in their head.
They just don't.
(40:28):
Society dependent on AI could also face vulnerabilities
to AI failures like cyber attacks or biases.
Other concerns include potential erosion of privacy, risks
of surveillance, and homogenization of thought and creativity.
The concentration and concentration of AI power could
also lead to manipulation or control and the
(40:51):
computational power required for AI models raises environmental
concerns.
Finally, there are worries about diminished human to
human interaction as a result of AI driven
automation.
While the UK, I should say the Y2K
problem was specific, time-bound technical challenge losing
AI tomorrow would be a much more significant,
(41:12):
broader problem, more complex event with potentially far
reaching unpredictable consequences that even if we spend
an hour or two to come up with
them, I come up with many of them,
but there would still be some that we
may not be aware of.
And I think that's a huge thing for
so many people I talk to each day.
AI is not going anywhere, right?
(41:35):
Here's the part of the show that I
really, really love the most.
So I'm going to go ahead and basically
give you, um, some points.
Let me give you some stories.
So I'm going to basically give you, um,
I'm going to give you one personal, uh,
(41:56):
story or lesson for each point.
Okay.
And it's my hope that you'll take these
points and apply them into your life, apply
them into your life.
(42:19):
Now, I'm not going to say guys at
every point is easy.
Okay.
I'm not going to say that, but I
want to let you know that if you
make excuses for yourself, right?
Whether it's, uh, AI or whether it's some
(42:43):
of the technology or something else in our
world.
If we constantly make excuses for something, then
we're obviously going to be causing problems.
Trump cuts ties with Elon Musk over policy
clash.
I remember once collaborating with a powerful business
associate who shared my vision until our values
around data privacy diverged, and I was very
(43:06):
concerned about keeping things safe.
He, on the other hand was not.
Like Trump and Musk, what started as alignment
became a clash more than a disalignment.
The lesson always make sure partnerships are built
on what you need and they have the
core values.
(43:27):
So beliefs don't get in the way, but
when core beliefs collide, even the strongest alliances
can break, can fall apart, thinking about the
U S halting the nuclear part exports to
China and mid trade, big problem.
(43:51):
Years ago, I was doing some work on
a tech export project where we had to
pause everything due to compliance risks.
It reminded me how global partnerships can shift
on a dime, protect the intellectual property and
national interests often outweigh.
The business growth and being proactive and understanding
(44:12):
expert laws is non negotiable guys.
Number three, the UK judge warns lawyers against
using fake AI cases.
I once tested an AI writing tool and
found it made up sources.
It gave wrong answers to math problems.
It didn't understand things.
(44:35):
And then when I challenged, it was like,
Oh, you're right.
That shocked me and made me realize how
important it is to cross check every AI
generated claim, every AI generated query, this story
shows why professionals must never blindly trust technology,
especially AI technology without a human review.
I've always said, you got to have at
(44:56):
least one or two humans in the loop.
Tech is a tool guys.
It's not a truth machine.
And, um, it's not good.
It's not bad.
It's how we choose to use it.
That makes it so.
Number four, China rolls out the driverless trucks
in major logistics push.
So I remember a tech conference where I
(45:17):
saw a demo of a driverless delivery robot,
and that was interesting.
I would like to suggest that we look
at what's going on.
I recall a tech conference where I saw
a live demo of a driverless delivery robot.
(45:40):
At first I'm like, wow, this is cool.
It wowed me, it wowed the crowd, but
I also noticed how many safety checks were
running behind the scenes.
China, uh, move shows the scale of what's
possible, but also the responsibility of making it
truly safe and efficient.
And, um, I think that's the thing that
(46:03):
scares a lot of people is that we
can't just be running on things like Terminator,
right?
We have to make sure that the data
is correct.
We can't just look at it once and
say it's correct.
Cause that's going to just screw everything up.
Number five, the United States postal service announces
the biannual stamp price hike through 2027.
(46:28):
This just blows my mind.
I remember running a direct mail campaign and
we do a lot in the marketing company.
Stamps costs eight into our budget.
Very fast.
United States postal service raised prices twice a
year.
And it may seem like you just can't
(46:51):
do it.
Right.
And so the stamp costs, as I said,
eight into, um, a budget very fast.
United States postal service raising prices twice a
year may seem small, but over time it
adds up, especially for small businesses.
(47:12):
It taught me to diversify marketing strategies and
never rely on a single channel because, Hey
guys, a single channel might be wrong and
you can't put all your eggs in one
basket.
You've got to use different baskets.
Number six, our good old friends at NASA.
Yes.
Risk setback.
If SpaceX dragon program ends once I visited
(47:41):
Kennedy space and actually built it a few
times.
And I watched SpaceX's launch.
It was awe inspiring.
SpaceX breed new life into NASA's missions.
But the story reminded me not to leap
too heavily on one solution.
Always build in redundancy and partnerships that can
(48:01):
scale when the time needs that.
Number seven, the iOS 19 rumored to include
vision 17 and pro.
And I think that's a very, um, important
thing.
(48:22):
Apple's rumored updates reminded me, like I said,
of a redesign, uh, that I had for
my own app to be more intuitive, just
small changes in the design boosted engagement drastically.
Apple's strategy shows how merging, uh, creative things
in design can boost engagement.
(48:46):
So Apple strategy shows that this merge with
the hardware and software can create a smarter
and more unified user experience.
And I think that's something that a lot
of people don't really take home.
Tesla Optimus robot VP departs amid program reshuffle.
(49:08):
I've seen promising projects stumble after visionary leaders
have left.
Sometimes they leave for personal reasons, family or
other other times they leave because they don't
want to be part of the project or
people aren't listening to them.
It doesn't always mean failure guys, but it
does require strong hands-off and a resilient
(49:28):
team.
Tesla's reshuffle is a good reminder that leadership
transitions must be planned with precision.
That hits home guys, that hits home.
When somebody leaves the company, they don't want
to leave the company.
(49:49):
They leave the company because of something that
happened, right?
And that's probably a good thing.
If somebody asked me, Hey, John, why do
top executives and engineers leave a company on
their own?
I think what you would get from me
(50:09):
is this.
They're tired of what's there.
They want a new challenge, right?
They feel like they're dead end.
Misalignment with the company's direction and their own
core values.
Leadership restructuring, major organizations or acquisitions can shift
responsibility and reduce autonomy.
(50:30):
This can make former empowered leaders feel sidelined
or undervalued, prompting shifts, culture shifts, or erosion
of company's internal culture is a big deal.
It's a very, very big deal.
And they want to go out on a
high note.
Number six, burnout or work-life rebalancing.
(50:53):
Even the most dedicated professionals can hit a
wall.
Long hours, high stress, or personal life shifts,
family or health or friends.
And it can drive the decision to step
back or just slightly pivot.
Number seven, financial independence, or basically exiting windfall.
(51:16):
If they've cashed out on stock options or
equity, they may simply feel it's the right
time to explore passion projects, start a venture
on their own or take a break, maybe
better offers or poaching has approached them.
Top talent is always in demand.
Sometimes it's as simple as being offered a
(51:39):
meaningful, powerful, creative contract that allows you to
express your freedom.
I think that's something that's a very, very
powerful.
And the lesson with number nine, Italy confirms
spyware targeted migrant activists.
Now not journalists.
(52:00):
Years back, I worked on a cybersecurity case
that involved ethical questions.
It's a delicate balance guys, security versus rights
and freedom.
This news from Italy highlights how easily surveillance
can be misused and reinforces why strong checks
and balances need to happen, not just once,
(52:22):
but many times.
Apple introducing the brain computer interface, the, uh,
the BC, um, I for accessibility at an
expo recently, I met a man using an
eye tracking software to code.
It was life changing for him.
Apple's brain interface tech built on that same
(52:48):
mission, powering those with mobility challenges, tech likes,
this reminds us why inclusivity should always be
central in any design.
Number 11, Arizona Supreme court launching the AI
(53:08):
avatars for legal news.
I once used a chat bot to answer
some facts on my site.
It saved hours each week.
Arizona's use of AI avatars shows how even
the legal world is embracing automation to connect
better with the public, but human oversight is
(53:30):
still essential.
So when I did that, I always went
back and check to make sure those answers
were correct.
That's key.
Number 12 Nintendo switch to launch sparks an
amazing global retail frenzy.
Remember when the original switch launched, I remember
(53:52):
standing in line to buy it.
The excitement was so electric.
You could feel in every muscle, every bone
and cell and ligament tenant in your body.
I sit in line to buy it and
I just waited there patiently.
The excitement was electric.
It reminded me how is he good?
(54:13):
Right.
Basically connect to something else.
And so excitement and the electricity caused me
to really appreciate this.
It also reminded me how great tech connects
people through play switch to his buzz shows
(54:36):
that emotion is a powerful driver in tech
adoption.
13, the NTSB links jet fire to fuel
leak in, uh, and around the maintenance failures
in tech, one overlooked detail can lead to
a complete disaster.
And that disaster guys could mean, unfortunately, someone
(54:57):
losing their life or more.
I once ignored a minor warning until it
caused a full on crash.
The chip fire story is a stark reminder
of why routine maintenance and attention to small
red flags can prevent major failures.
(55:18):
Maybe you're saying, John, you know, my website
is perfect.
I never have any issues.
So I've said this before, guys, it's not
a question of if you're going to get
attack, but when, if you are not properly,
I think that's probably something that most people
don't understand and don't appreciate, not a question
(55:41):
of if you're going to get attacked, but
when, if you're not properly protected, that's pretty
amazing.
So I'm saying to you, it's not a
question of if, but when, if you're not
probably protected, so that means that you've got
to be doing certain things to ensure that
(56:02):
you are doing your best.
Right.
And that you're going to mitigate any damages.
I've said to you before that if you
don't do proactive checks, being reactive is going
to cost you more money than being proactive.
So in this project we're working on, everything
(56:25):
was very smooth.
However, one of the cores we're using for
a chat system said everything was good.
The libraries were good.
Everything was updated.
So we figured everything was fine.
Cause it had like an engine that went
out and checked the core.
Well, we noticed that their site suddenly went
down.
(56:46):
Like what happened?
And so I remember when this happened the
very first time, I remember how I felt.
Of course we were proactive.
(57:07):
Okay.
And I know that by doing
what's going on and doing the things proactively,
I know that that can make a huge
difference in your life and so many other
(57:28):
people's lives.
Okay.
I think that's probably one of the big
things that I can share with you is
that maybe it's not about just today.
It's about the bigger picture.
So we obviously caught this issue of, you
know, what happened and what we wound up
(57:48):
doing was we basically looked at what was
going on and I will tell you that
we discovered the leak was coming from a
vulnerability in a chat script.
Now, even though we saw everything was fine,
we still had to do what we needed
(58:09):
to, to make sure this didn't happen or
cause any problem.
So we were proactive.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm John C.
