Hi everyone, I'm John Seymour, the host of
The JMOR Tech Talk Show and inspirations
for your life.

(00:53):
Well, hello there everyone, it is John Seymour
here, serial entrepreneur.
It's always great to be with you on
The JMOR Tech Talk Show as well
as any other show or content that I
have.
So thanks so much for being here with
me.
If this is your first time with me,
I want to say welcome and thank you
for joining me.
If you've been here before, then I would
like to say welcome and thank you for

(01:16):
coming back.
So I think that's an important thing, guys,
to understand what we're here to do.
And I can tell you guys that, you
know, tech is changing every single day, whether

(01:36):
you like it or you don't, it is
changing every day.
And by the way, guys, if you are
new here, I invite you to check out
BelieveMeAchieved.com for of course more of my
amazing, inspiring creations, which you can do right
after the show.
24 hours a day by visiting BelieveMeAchieved.com.

(01:56):
Hey guys, and if you're thirsty right now,
I don't want you to be sitting there
parched, or if you're hungry or what have
you, need a drink, maybe it's something salty,
something sweet, something sour, whatever it is, fruit.
I have my RO water here and that's
really delicious, nice, icy, cool, seven times RO

(02:19):
filtered water.
Really good.
All right, guys, without any further ado, you
know what I want to do?
I want to go ahead and kick this
show off.
Are you guys ready?
All right, let's kick this show off.
So welcome everyone.
Like I said, it is such a pleasure
to be here with everyone.
And I think a lot of times, you
know, people don't get the main thing.

(02:40):
You know what the main thing is?
The main thing is understanding what it is
that we need.
And from technology, I got to tell you
guys, it can get a little bit confusing
as to what's right, what's wrong, and all
those kinds of things, right?
So again, guys, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to

(03:02):
the ever popular JMOR Tech Talk Show.
And the show, it's all about technology.
Who am I?
Sure.
I'm John C.
Morley, a serial entrepreneur, an engineer, marketing specialist,
video producer, podcast host, coach, graduate student, and

(03:23):
of course, a passionate lifelong learner.
You know, each week, I don't just talk
tech.
I dive into the stories that are shaking
up the world, shining a spotlight on the
breakthroughs and the breakdowns that we are experiencing
and the digital era that is.
So get ready, everyone, for a very wild

(03:43):
ride and some amazing headlines and some expert
insights for me and big opinions only found
here where tomorrow's trends hit first.
Yeah, guys, that's right.
It's all about tomorrow's trends because, you know,
if we can learn about something sooner, then
we can actually embrace ourselves to be better

(04:05):
and to grow.
I think that's a really, really important thing,
guys.
So number one is SAP.
So SAP scrambles recently, you know, and in
the issue with, you know, the giant concessions
dodging European Union's record fine.
SAP, believe it or not, is in hot

(04:28):
water.
I don't mean lukewater.
I mean the kind that'll burn you all
across Europe and fighting to avoid historic European
Union fine with regulators circulating the software giant
is making unprecedented offers that could rewrite competition
rules for tech everywhere.
Is this the dawn of fairer digital markets

(04:51):
or just a mega corporate chess move?
I think we might have to wait and
see like what's going on and why things
are going on, but I know it's pretty
amazing, you know, that Europe's software giant SAP
is making big moves to dodge this.
And is it going to reshape competition rules

(05:12):
for every tech player, American, European, possibly?
I think we've got to stay tuned and
figure out what they're up to.
This is just the first kind of the
first introduction that we're seeing, too.
But we know the European Union is definitely
getting up in people's businesses, even if they're
really big companies.
We thought that they were going to leave

(05:33):
Google and certain companies alone, but it turns
out they were kind of in, let's say,
a back step.
But really, they are trying to keep everything
fair and they'll go after companies like Google,
Amazon, et cetera.
Number two, guys, Microsoft's new AI, that's artificial
intelligence.

(05:54):
They claim promises faster, smarter medical diagnoses.
Doctors, what should we say?
Watch out, Microsoft's bold leap into the medical
AI could outsmart human MDs with super intelligent
diagnosis on the horizon.
Imagine an AI system that catches what doctors

(06:18):
miss, making healthcare smarter and maybe even saving
people's lives.
Will this mean a revolution or should doctors
feel threatened?
I don't think doctors should feel threatened because
AI is not going to have the personal
touch.
That's definitely number one.

(06:38):
So Microsoft's making a big debut to want
to unveil the super intelligence that they have
in the super intelligence team for medical.
Microsoft announces the super intelligence team that's focused
on next gen medical diagnoses.
Their goal, AI models that outperform humans and
may boost life expectancy for everyone.

(06:59):
The specialists, humanists, super intelligence is coming fast.
Experts predict achievements in medical diagnosis within two
to three years.
But, you know, they're not always right, guys.
That's the thing.
AI makes mistakes.
Yes, it does.
It makes a lot of mistakes.
And if AI makes all these mistakes and

(07:20):
there's problems like, what do we do?
I think we've got to keep that human
connection.
I've said this before, guys.
We've got to keep the human connection.
And if we don't keep the human connection,
then that's a big, big problem.
You know, you've got to understand that it's
all about doing the right thing, not just

(07:40):
for you, but for the entire culture.
And I think that's something that many people
don't realize.
They don't realize, like, why or how or
anything like that, OK?
And so these are some things that a
lot of people, like, they just they just

(08:03):
don't get.
And the reason they don't get them is
that they're wrapped up in their own world.
OK, and I think this is something that
we're starting to see a lot of, and
it's starting to, let's say, permeate a lot
of different markets, not just medical, insurance and

(08:26):
many, many other markets.
So the question is.
Should doctors feel threatened?
No, because the doctors are always going to
be needed to be kept in the loop.
I think that's a very, very important thing.
And if doctors are feeling intimidated by this,
then maybe they should take a few AI

(08:46):
courses.
Maybe they should learn that AI, guys, and
this is the truth, AI.
You know, when people ask me, you know,
will AI replace doctors?
And, you know, when people ask you that,
it is transforming health care very rapidly, OK?
But it's unlikely to fully replace doctors in

(09:07):
the foreseeable future.
AI enhances things, let's get that straight, not
replaces humans.
Medical complexities are there.
Health care isn't just about data.
Doctors assess subtle cues, patient histories and make
nuanced decisions.
Patient trust in his relationships and in his
legal and ethical limitations.

(09:27):
Right.
So in short, AI will become an indispensable
asset and assist it to doctors.
But it's not going to be the be
-all, end-all set to replace them completely.
Doctors and AI working together mean better, faster
and safer health care.
Leveraging tech while keeping human care at the
center.

(09:48):
I think that's a challenge for a lot
of people.
How do you do these things?
Stay on the edge of tech and not,
how can we say, annoy the patients?
Because I was talking to a doctor just
the other day, who's a dentist, and we

(10:08):
were talking about insurance.
And he was talking about, you know, crowns
and what they charge and things like that.
So I don't know if you guys know
this, but let's just take a guess.
Like, what does the average dentist charge for
a crown in New Jersey?

(10:28):
So there's a variety of prices, right?
So the average price for dental crowns in
New Jersey, they range.
You ready?
From $1,000 to $2,500 per tooth.
Now, the thing is, how much do they
get if it's paid by insurance?

(10:49):
That's a kick, right?
That's a real kick.
If it gets paid by insurance, okay, the
insurance will typically pay 50% to 80
% less of the total cost.
So, for example, if the crown costs $1
,500 and your insurance covers 50%, the insurance
payment would be $750, and you would pay

(11:11):
the remaining $750 out of pocket.
Coverage may be subject to annual plan limits,
often to $1,000 to $1,500 total
per year.
And other plan-specific rules might be in
effect.
So it's best to review your individual policy
for precise reimbursement schedules and amounts and any
type of limitations.
So I was talking to this doctor, who's

(11:34):
also a friend of mine, and I was
telling him about what's going on in AI,
and I said, what do you think about
it?
He said, well, he says, you know, we're
dealing with it now every day.
I said, is it affecting you?
He says, absolutely.
I said, so how are you handling it?
He says, well, we have one right now
that, you know, when we get a note

(11:56):
back, a lot of times we get a
note back saying denied, and they'll get something
stupid saying, you know, that the picture wasn't
attached.
And it's all being done manually, but now
that's changing to be digital.
And like, oh, it's not attached.
A lot of times they rip the photo
right off of it or the X-ray
right off of it.
When they know in good faith that they
really are doing the wrong thing, they're just

(12:18):
trying to buy time.
So here's another example of that.
So the insurance company says that the claim
is denied.
Okay, the dentist's office gets that message back.
And so the first thing they ask is,
why?
And so they said, well, because of this
and that.
And so the dentist is like, okay, fine.

(12:42):
I'd like to know the licensed doctor that
rejected the claim.
And guess what happens?
They can't give him a doctor because guess
what?
A doctor didn't make the decision to not
cover the claim.

(13:03):
Artificial intelligence did.
And right now, if artificial intelligence makes a
statement to, let's say, disavow the claim, then
the dentist is like, that's not valid.
Like, they have to pay us.
Soon as that happens, he says, you know,
we're getting paid.
That's done.
But AI is being used to short-circuit

(13:28):
things in our world, unfortunately.
And by short-circuiting, I mean that it's
taking shortcuts, okay?
And that's an important thing to realize, that
it might be about that.
And if it's about that, then that can

(13:52):
be a challenge for people, right?
A very, very big challenge.
And I know that when this happens, this

(14:17):
changes people's trust.
We're seeing it now in job employment.
And so an interesting thing that I want
to share with you, one of my clients,
this person was in an industry for a

(14:38):
long time.
And because of no fault of the person's
own, they were caring for their parents who
were, you know, getting older and they were
passing away, and they had to take care
of them.
And another thing happened, the person's sister actually
was getting sick and had to take care
of that person too.

(14:58):
So this is why the person was out
of work for a few years.
And then the person did some work for
a company, same industry, and they got fired.
This is somebody that has 25 years senior
experience in this industry.
And I said, well, what happened?
She said, Don, it was all unfair.
I said, well, what happened?
She said, well, what they did was, you

(15:20):
know, a person came into the, let's say,
the store, the retail, whatever it was, and
the person was not trained appropriately on their
equipment.
So the first thing she did was she
said, give me a moment, I want to
talk to my manager.
She wanted to talk to the manager, and
the manager came right out and threw her

(15:42):
under the bus, didn't keep a confidential, didn't
come out and say, okay, gee, what can
we help you with it?
There's an issue with something, and I tried
to help.
No, they made her look like a jackass.
And guess what happened next?
The manager fired her the next day, and
guess what happened a few weeks later?

(16:03):
That manager got fired.
But because of the reputation, because of what
happened, and the customer being upset, they just
fired that person.
Now, they would never hire her back, but
here's the thing I want to share with
you.
She'd been trying for months to get, you
know, different, let's say, jobs, and she's not

(16:25):
getting hired.
We're working on this for months.
Good resume, everything.
And so I finally decided to talk to
some people in this industry, because I said,
this just doesn't make sense.
How could she be getting declined from so
many in this industry when she has all
this experience?
The pre-interview goes well.

(16:46):
The other interview that she takes in person
goes well.
And then she gets a letter saying, thank
you for your time, and we've decided to
move forward with other candidates.
Unfortunately, they'll say something like, you know, we've
decided to move forward with another candidate who

(17:06):
we feel better suits this position or something
like that.
So this kept happening for months.
So I talked to two people I know
that are top in this industry, and they
explained to me what was going on.
It's very, very underhanded.
When you fill out an application to work
with these companies that we did, a lot

(17:28):
of times we were filling it out for
the same company, just different locations.
And so they said to me, they asked
me some questions about the person.
You know, are they working?
I said, no.
Credit?
I said, well, probably not great.
And he said, well, that's the problem.
I said, what do you mean?

(17:48):
They never ran a credit check.
He said, well, actually, yes, they did.
So how did they run a credit check?
They never asked her.
It's buried in the application somewhere that, you
know, you agree.
And once you have a driver's license, okay,
pretty much that company owns you.

(18:10):
Like, they know everything down to your first
of kin.
And even beyond that, right?
Mother laws, son laws, father laws, et cetera.
Not just one level, but several levels deep.
And so the interesting thing that was happening

(18:30):
here is, I said, what's going on?
They said they ran credit checks.
And when either A, if let's say her
address didn't match, that could have been one
thing.
The second thing could have been that the
person didn't have a job.
The third thing could have been they found
that she was fired.
The fourth thing could be her credit's not
great.
I said, this is all really bad.

(18:51):
Like, they don't call back.
So that's just kind of how they work.
And so I did some checking into this
and I said, that's what's going on.
This is why you're not getting hired.
So there is a program that I found
out through another friend of mine that helps
to solve this problem.

(19:12):
When there are people that are good people,
there is something that can be done with
the federal government.
I think this is, and it's a plan
that they don't really talk about.
Too much.
It's basically, we call a bonding from, in

(19:32):
this case, it's New Jersey Labor Board.
And so there's two programs that are pretty
similar, but are for different purposes.
The federal bonding program for hard to place
job seekers and New Jersey Family Leave Insurance,
NJFLI, for bonding with a new child.

(19:54):
The federal bonding program provides a fidelity bond
to an employer to cover potential financial loss
from a dishonest employee.
While NJFLI provides cash benefits to an employee
during a leave of absence to bond with
a new child.
Now, this person never had any issues with
any place she worked, except for this one

(20:16):
issue, the way they were treating her at
this one particular place.
And I have to tell you, a lot
of times today, they don't cover your butt.
You've got to cover your own.
So again, the federal bonding program is sponsored
by the United States Department of Labor, and
it provides a fidelity bond to employers for

(20:36):
at-risk job applicants.
This protects the employer against employee dishonesty, resulting
in a loss of money or property.
The purpose is to help individuals who may
be seen as risky candidates by employers, such
as those with poor credit, irregular work history,
or a justice-involved background, like they were
incarcerated, et cetera, get hired.

(20:57):
How it works, the bond is provided to
the employer at no cost to them, or
the employee, and typically covers the first six
months of employment.
How do you apply for it?
Well, you contact the New Jersey Department of
Labor for information on the federal bonding program,
and how to get a bond to present
to a potential employer.

(21:18):
So that's how you do it, and it
doesn't take very long to do.
You can go to your local place, job
place, workforce, whatever that might be.
And basically, what you do is you ask

(21:41):
them for this.
And so that's how it works.
And so I've got to tell you that
if you're in the industry, and you're wondering
why you're not getting hired, and you're top
-notch in your industry, you've had really great
experience, could be because of your credit.

(22:04):
And now there is a solution to help
you get back.
So I want to share that with everybody,
okay?
Uh, number three, Starlink connects millions of space
quotes.
They could replace cell towers.
Hmm, that's interesting.
We have to keep an eye on that.
I wonder if that means prices are going

(22:24):
to go up on the per minute, right?
I remember having a cell phone.
Actually, the phone that I had several years
ago was actually a cell phone.
It was a sat phone.
So it operated by placing a call on
a satellite.
I don't know if you guys know, and
this is probably something interesting to share with
you, how much per minute are, we call

(22:49):
them sat phones.
That's what they're called, sat phones or satellite
phones.
So the cost per minute for satellite phones
vary by plan ranging from approximately $1.50
to over $2.50 for prepaid services.
While plans can reduce the cost to $1
per minute with higher usage.
For instance, one prepaid plan is $1.89
per minute for 100 minutes.

(23:12):
So that's $189, while a higher tier plan
with 100 minutes might cost $95.
So 95 cents per additional minute after the
monthly allowance is used.
So again, $1.89 per minute for 100
minutes, while a higher tier plan with 100

(23:32):
minutes might be costing less.
And, you know, charged with additional minutes.
So a 100 minute prepaid plan costs about
$189 averaging $1.89 per minute.
A 200 minute plan roughly costs about $599
averaging $2.99 per minute.

(23:54):
And a 600 minute prepaid plan costs $912
averaging $1.52 per minute.
So if we look at that, right, it
looks pretty interesting, doesn't it?
The 600 minute plan seems to be like

(24:15):
the real sweet spot.
So, you know, a 2000 minute plan, for
example, is now coming out about $0.99
a minute.
So there's other costs, by the way, like
incoming calls are often free on many plans,
but this can vary.
So it's important to check with your specific
plan details and your carrier.
Data calls can be more expensive than voice

(24:36):
calls.
Some providers may charge extra for a US
-based phone number to reduce costs for people
trying to call you.
So who does this?
One of them is Iridium.
There's other companies, but I've known about them
for a while.
They're called Iridium.
And so they have a phone and it's
used for a couple of reasons.
So you have the Iridium Extreme.

(24:57):
Then you have Iridium Go, which is used
for like doing satellite, like, you know, credit
card transactions, touch or swipe all through satellite.
They have the Iridium Extreme Push to Talk,
which was like the old Nextel.
Then they had the basic Iridium 9555.
Then, of course, they have other products like
the Bivy Stick.
They have the Garmin Montana, right?

(25:22):
So, you know, these are interesting things and
they're around, okay?
And so you're probably wondering, you know, Bivy
Stick uses LoRa technology to provide reliable off
-grid connectivity without cellular coverage.
And a lot of people find that this
is something that works really well.

(25:44):
So it's dual satellite and LoRa-enabled mesh
communication.
Again, it harnesses the power of LoRa technology
to create self-sustaining, decentralized networks that allow
devices to communicate directly.
So basically what that means is it connects
to the satellites.
And then what happens is you can then

(26:06):
allow it to connect to different devices that
you might need, your phone, your laptop, et
cetera.
So the Bivy Stick is a two-way
communicator.
And then there is the mesh version, which
is the two-way satellite plus LoRa-enabled
communicator.
So Bivy is not that new.

(26:26):
They've been out for a little while.
Bivy allows you to stay connected with your
group.
And so, you know, this is kind of,
you know, what they're doing right now.
There's things like Somewhere Global Hotspot you can
wear.
There's something called Azolio that is out there
right now.

(26:47):
Azolio is a global messaging coverage unit.
And again, you can use this as a
hotspot so your phone can connect and it
has a one-touch button for SOS.
So, you know, who uses this technology?
Hikers, fishers, campers, bikers, right?

(27:10):
I know when I'm taking my hike, my
cell phone service literally just dies when I'm
in certain parts of the hike.
You see the ending part where it's almost
like I'm off the grid.
So the thing about, you know, using a
cell phone, it's a lot cheaper than using

(27:33):
a SATCOM.
But a SATCOM is something that is becoming
more popular because areas you go to don't
have great coverage.
I know some people that their coverage is
so bad that they literally got these extenders
inside the house.

(27:56):
So Starlink's direct-to-cell deal puts the
cosmos, basically, a claim in your pocket.
Phones that will allow you to connect to
satellites, not towers.
Now, billions could soon dial up from anywhere,
turning remote villages into, well, global hotspots.

(28:18):
Are we entering the era of true space
-driven communication?
Possibly.
But the costs of it, like I said,
are a lot more expensive than brand lines,
right, and the traditional cell phone.
So that's a big problem.
So Starlink's biggest satellite-to-cell deal, Starlink

(28:39):
locks in its largest direct-to-cell deal
ever with Vinan, Vinan, bringing satellite networks access
to 150 million plus people.
Smartphones in remote regions like Kazakhstan to Ukraine
will soon connect directly to satellites and no
more towers needed.
Competition in the satellite-to-phone race is

(29:01):
heating up, with Starlink's leading rivals like Amazon
and AST and the Space Mobiles closing.
It seems like whatever makes money, Amazon thinks
they just want to jump in.
They don't have great service, right, but they
all just want to jump in.
Cisco does the same thing.
They don't always build something.
They want to buy something so they can
have the resource, but they can't even do

(29:25):
what they have.
So I think that's just really, I got
to tell you, I think that's pitiful that
they do that.
And number four, guys, the European Union bans
adult content and weapons platforms, and the cleanup
is what they're saying, or get out.
So Europe is cracking down.
Digital platforms must block illegal content or face

(29:48):
the wrath of the music.
With stricter controls, Europe is leading a digital
revolution cleanup.
Will these moves set a new gold standard
for online safety or push users to darker
corners?
Well, only time is going to tell, but
one thing's for certain.
It looks like there's not going to be
any favoritism in this industry.

(30:10):
Number five, guys, Rockstar fires 31 unions as
the strike goes on.
Will the GTA VI survive the chaos?
I don't know.
The gaming drama explodes as Rockstar axes 31
workers.
Now, unions are rallying about the GTA VI

(30:32):
hype train wobbles, and insiders claim morale is
plummeting.
Is the world's hottest game studio risking it
all as workers fight for respect?
I don't think that's important, guys.
A lot of times, you know, you could
have everything you want, but you know what
you don't have?
You may not have respect.
And I've always been told that you have

(30:53):
to respect people all the time.
And so, as we said on other shows,
you've got to do what's right, even when
no one else is watching.
I think that's a really important thing to
understand.
And number six, guys, King Charles, yes, King
Charles warns NVIDIA, AI risks now royal business

(31:18):
in unprecedented royal move.
King Charles personally warns NVIDIA CEO about the
looming AI threat.
When AI headlines reach literal royalty, you know
the digital stakes are, well, sky high, no
pun intended.
Is AI the next revolution or the world's
biggest risk?

(31:41):
I think it's both.
I think it is the next thing, but
I think it's also a damage because, you
know, it's like fire, right?
Fire is not good.
It's not bad.
When we know how to use fire, it
can do things like help us.
It can, you know, it can warm us
and stuff like that, right?
But if fire is used in the wrong
way, it can also be destructive.

(32:02):
So I think we've got to understand this
tool and we've got to realize how do
we make this tool something that we're going
to be able to use all the time?
How do we do that?
I think that's a very, very big issue.
Number seven, guys, Musk's Grok bot calls out

(32:23):
the UK.
The MP AI drama goes, well, yes, it
goes public.
So Elon Musk's Grok AI bot just labeled
a UK MP rape enabler, sending shockwaves across
tech and politics.
Now questions about AI's role in society.
Will they explode?
Can we trust bots to play fair or

(32:45):
is digital drama our new normal way?
I don't know, guys.
I think it's coming down to a main
thing.
You know what that is?
It's coming down to money.
That's what it's coming down to.
And so with this happening, the MP fired
back demanding the bot be shut down and
warning that AI platforms need urgent regulation.

(33:09):
Can we trust AI to play fair or
will spicy tech cross the line again?
I think we can't trust AI to be
fair because it doesn't know what fair is.
It knows that it needs to do something.
But it doesn't understand consequences.
It doesn't understand why it does something.

(33:30):
It's not conscious.
Number eight, Australia bans kids from TikTok and
more.
Yep, the next stop, global crackdown.
You're the union in a move now to
set and shake up the internet.
Australia will block under 16-year-olds from
TikTok, Instagram and more.

(33:51):
What they claim are threatening issuations with massive
fines for rule breakers.
And the goal, they claim, is to protect
the kids.
Now critics will be putting bans in place.
And by doing this, if they did, it
would just fuel digital rebellion.
So I think they've got to be careful
about how they do this.

(34:11):
And they've got to get buy-in or
they could have, in my opinion, they could
have a serious anarchy on their heads.
Number nine, guys, council leak exposes 600-plus
locals.
Will your data be next?
Could be.
Simple council error leaked private information of hundreds,

(34:33):
igniting fears about data security everywhere.
If it could happen to them, well, it
could happen to your personal details.
And maybe those would be tomorrow's headlines.
That would not be a very pleasant story
that you would want to hear about.
Oh, here's one I think that is important.

(34:55):
And I think it's one that people don't
think is possible.
I don't want to scare people, but I
want to just make people aware.
Number 10 is a person had a pension,
is a pensioner.
He loses all, you know, he loses it
to a dating site.
Because the fine print says love hurts.
A vulnerable pensioner's entire savings vanished over sneaky

(35:19):
small print on a dating app.
The lesson, always read the fine print or
risk a heartbreak that hits your bank account.
So what can you do in these situations?
Well, one, you can use a rechargeable or
just a card that you get from your
bank or like a rechargeable visa.

(35:43):
And when you do that, you have a
little more control of maybe what's going on
in your life and what has control and
what doesn't have control.
I mean, I think that's a very important
thing, guys.
I mean, a very, very important thing.
So number 11, London teens win the robotics

(36:06):
gold.
The dreams go worldwide now.
South London school, very happy.
Their robotics team smashes the United Kingdom championship
and heads global.
From local dreams to international glory, they have
proven that passion and teamwork break every single
barrier.

(36:26):
And heads off to them.
I think that's really, gotta get some more
water here.
I think that's really remarkable to inspire people.
I mean, I like to build any age.
I like to build that.
And I think when you have the sense
of accomplishment, I don't care how young or
how old you are, it fuels you.
It moves you, kind of like, you know,

(36:46):
music fuels and moves you.
I think that's a very important thing to
realize.
If we can understand that, then I think
there's not too much that we don't understand
our life.
I think that's a very important thing.
I think that's an important thing to understand.

(37:07):
Number 12, guys, Jersey slashes tech funding.
Digital skills on the chopping block right now.
And this is serious business.
Major funding cuts could erase tech classes island
wide.
Supporters are warning of a skills crisis that

(37:29):
could emerge.
While officials are saying, quote, just YouTube it,
close quote.
Should digital learning depend on luck or investment
or something else?
I think these are the questions that a
lot of legislators and a lot of people
are asking.
Everybody thinks it's all about cutting the money.
And speaking about money, I mean, I think

(37:50):
this is a very interesting thing.
Everybody is asking this, is the government open
yet?
It's still closed.
And this is very, very sad.

(38:12):
Because, you know, they don't really seem to
want to do anything big.
The longest government shutdown in U.S. history,
it's interesting to understand, like, you know, what
had happened.

(38:33):
And so what's important, it's over the federal
agencies reopening employees returning to work.
I mean, that's the whole thing.
But the question is, did Washington, okay, reopen

(38:53):
the government?
Did they reopen the government?
So the government shutdown, I have news for
you guys, as of November 13th is officially
over.
But not everything is back to normal.
The longest government shutdown in United States history
is officially over after President Trump signed a

(39:14):
bill passed by Congress on Wednesday late night.
The federal government is reopening, but after 43
days on pause, things may not return to
business as usual right away.
For instance, federal workers are still awaiting back
pay and air travel disruptions are expected to
linger.
And some impacts could continue much longer than
six weeks.

(39:34):
Whether that's National Park trying to make up
for lost visitor revenue or taxpayers waiting longer
for refunds from a backlogged IRS service, there's
also the looming threat of another potential shutdown
in the not too distant future.
Since this bill only funds the government, guess
what, guys, until January 30th.
So we have to be thankful for what

(39:57):
they're doing.
But I think the reason they did this
is they want to get through Thanksgiving.
I said it'd be really a bad thing
to not have the government reopen at Thanksgiving
time.
Number 13, guys, Peloton unfortunately recalls 833,000

(40:17):
bikes, the fitness firm in a free fall.
Peloton's back in the recall spotlight after more
seat breaking reports are hitting.
Over 833,000 bikes recalled.
Is the fitness darling spinning out or can
it repair consumer trust?

(40:39):
I think that's a question that a lot
of Americans and different people around the world
want answers to.
What's going on?
Did Peloton lose their trust?
And I think right now, yes, Peloton has
lost trust, primarily due to high profile products,

(41:01):
recalls, and initial resistance to acknowledge safety issues,
which was compounded by a post-pandemic drop
in sales and a loss of confidence from
investors and customers.
The company's initial defensive stance on its tread
and treadmill recall, which was linked to a
child's death, severely damaged its credibility.

(41:23):
So just because a product is like the
latest thing and the greatest one day doesn't
mean it's always going to stay that way.
I recently had an issue with a shoe
company and the shoe was not made the
way they used to be made.
They're doing things to save money.

(41:44):
I mean, that's just the long and the
short of it.
Number 14, guys, Discord launches teen safety tools.
Parents rejoice about this.
They're very happy.
Discord rolls out major new controls for teen
accounts, giving parents real insights and more power
to protect.

(42:05):
Is this the future of social media?
Or just one step into the safety race
that's currently going on?
So I think it's important that we know
where technology is today and we understand that
it's always moving, right?
It's a moving target.

(42:25):
And although I think there's a lot of
benefit in artificial intelligence, my problem is that
people are lying, or prevaricating is a nicer
way to say it, but it's still lying,
about the potential of AI.

(42:47):
AI has a lot of great features, but
if I had to ask right now, why
is AI so bad?
And it comes to the environment.
There's a negative side to explosion of AI
and it's associated with infrastructure, according to a

(43:08):
lot of researches that was done.
Proliferating data is centering that house AI servers
produce electronic waste.
They are large consumers of water, which is
becoming scarce in many places.
So people, actually from the Virginia Tech School,

(43:28):
was saying AI is the good, the bad,
and the scary.
And so, you know, I think a lot
of people are not taking this seriously.
And I'll tell you why they're not taking
it seriously.
Because it's not directly impacting them.
I don't want it to impact you, but
when something impacts you personally, that is when

(43:53):
you're like, oh, you know what?
I better pay attention to this stuff.
I better pay attention, because if I don't
pay attention, you know what's going to happen?
I am going to, well, I'm going to
possibly make the wrong decision.
The wrong decision.
And that could be a very important thing

(44:16):
to know, is that decision that's being made.
And the decision that's being made is something
that is interesting, guys.
But it's something that I think a lot
of people don't realize.
They don't realize the fact that AI needs,
well, research.

(44:40):
And if AI needs research, then I would
say to you that we need to be
concerned about how we are doing certain things.
I mean, I think that's the bottom line.
If we cannot be, let's say, 100%

(45:03):
trusting, I don't think we're ever going to
be 100% trusting in artificial intelligence.
I'm sorry.
We have to remember that we always have
to keep a human in the loop.
I don't care whether it's something about traffic
lights, whether it's making a human health diagnosis,
whether it's analyzing national defense, whether it's being

(45:26):
used to help law enforcement.
I don't care what the reason is.
I'm saying that a human needs to always
be in the loop.
And you might say to me, that's great,
John.
But I think we're wasting too many resources

(45:46):
on this.
And I would say to you, no, we're
not.
And that is because people are not seeing
the negative side of AI.
They're just not seeing it.
And because they're not seeing it, they're not

(46:06):
embracing the whole concept that AI is a
tool, but it's also a very beginning stage
work in progress.
Right?
A beginning stage work in progress is something
that a lot of people don't understand necessarily.

(46:29):
And so what I can tell you is
that when we do this, when we understand
and when we start to be, let's say,
more questioning of what AI is doing and
what AI can't do, I think that, guys,
is the major, major thing that is going

(46:50):
to help or hurt.
That's very, very important to understand.
And if that is that way, then maybe
you can understand something about this.
Right?
And again, these are things that are all
gonna be about people's perception.

(47:12):
Okay?
And I'll tell you, it's
about the ethics.
It's about, is it doing the greater good

(47:33):
for all concerned?
Okay?
That's important to know, guys.
It's very important to know because if it's
important to know, then maybe you'll start to
realize what's happening.

(47:53):
And if you know what's happening, then maybe,
just maybe, you will be able to realize
why things are happening the way they are.
Okay?
And I think that's something that a lot
of people don't understand right now because it's

(48:17):
not directly impacting them and their well-being.
Again, I don't want it to impact you,
but I find that same thing, like with
all these things in Congress, the reason that
they weren't getting a decision is that it
wasn't affecting anybody.
All the people in Congress, in the House,
they were still getting paid this whole time.

(48:38):
That's what blew my mind.
I don't want to get political, but they
were getting paid and we couldn't get the
government back open.
So again, this bill is only going to
fund it till the end of January, which,
so we're safe for a little bit, November,
December.
But the thing is, why are we banning
things?
Why can't we come up with a solution

(48:59):
that's actually going to be for the greater
good of all concerned, right?
I think we talked a lot tonight about,
like I said, the tsunami, and I'm saying
the tsunami as a thing that I'm bringing
up to you because the thing about it
is that it's just this whirlwind of everything

(49:20):
we have, unfortunately, going wrong all at one
particular point in time.
I mean, nobody really wants to celebrate that,
right?
But it's like, what do you do, right?
Some of you don't know whether to laugh
or whether to cry.
And I think that's a huge, huge problem
for so many people, right?

(49:42):
And so, you know, things, whether we're talking
about privacy, like on social media, such as
Discord, Instagram, Facebook, right?
New controls.
I mean, I think we want to approach
things.
The problem is we just get one idea
and we run with it.

(50:03):
But that idea, guys, might not be the
greatest idea.
In fact, it might be the worst idea
that we could actually have.
Yeah, it could be the worst idea.
And if it's the worst idea we have,
we don't want to pick it, right?
We do not want to pick it.

(50:25):
And that's something that maybe a lot of
you don't quite understand, okay?
And this happens for one reason, and it's
because of a perception.
Now, I've said this before.
Your life comes from perceptions.

(50:54):
Your life, what happens to you, all happens
because of your perceptions.
Now, your perceptions in life are about that
one main thing.
And that one main thing, okay, is about
how you expect the world to show up

(51:20):
for you, right?
To show up for you.
Maybe you're complaining about the way or why
the world showed up for you.
Maybe that's what you're complaining about.
But I don't think that's fair.
Because if you're thinking life is going to

(51:40):
be one particular way, right?
Maybe you are, maybe you're not.
That one particular way is something that a
lot of people just, well, in argument's sake,
they take it for granted because they feel
they can.

(52:01):
So we've been talking a lot about different
tech, right?
We've been talking about tech that's keeping people
from getting jobs.
One other thing that happened, this was kind
of funny in one sense.
So the person applied for some jobs, and
then they got an email last week.
And the email said, congratulations, you know, we

(52:22):
look forward to meeting you on at.
There was no date, there was no time,
there was no nothing.
And you didn't know whether it was a
phone call, whether it was a Zoom, nothing.
So I think a lot of times AI
messes up.
You know why?

(52:43):
Because people don't give it the right prompts.
They don't give it the right prompts.
And although AI has a lot of potential,
I mean a lot of potential.
Like AI is very good at summarizing.
Like if you wanted to, let's say, let's
download my show and say, hey, you know,
give it a summary.

(53:03):
It's not the same thing.
But I think if we know that a
hammer is meant for hammering a nail, and
we know that a screwdriver is meant for
screwing and unscrewing a screw, okay?
And we know that a saw is meant
for cutting something.
And we know that a drill is meant

(53:25):
for drilling a hole.
We would not try to use the drill
to hammer a hole, right?
Or we would not use a screwdriver in
the back of a screwdriver to bang in
a nail.
I know people have done that.
But that's not the intended purpose of it.

(53:45):
And I think when we can embrace the
purpose and the meaning for why things happen
in our lives.
You know, sometimes we don't always get the
reason why.
We're like, oh, you know, this is how
this happens.
I get it, right?
But is what we're doing in alignment with
our core values.
You know, I've talked about this many, many,

(54:08):
many times.
Our core values.
Our core values are something that is very
important.
Can we change our core values?
Absolutely, we can change them.
Do we want to keep changing them?
No, we do not.
Because if we keep changing this, that makes

(54:31):
us possibly become confused.
Nobody wants to be confused.
So artificial intelligence, okay, is a compilation of
algorithms, of data.

(54:51):
And with the data and the algorithms, it's
able to process.
Now in the world of AI, we call
the data, we call it LLM, a large
language model.
So that when you say something or you
ask it something, it has a way to
go back and reference it.
And although it has a context, it never
will have the context as you and I

(55:12):
of what we see.
I think that's a very, very important thing
to realize.
And I think a lot of people need
to understand this one thing.
You know what the one thing is?
The one thing is, know the tool that
you have.
Learn its strengths and learn its weaknesses.

(55:35):
And the reason you want to know that
is you want to learn what else you
need to support something.
Maybe you're building something.
And you know that what you have is
sufficient for this, but now you need it
to support more weight, let's say a shelf.
And so you realize you might have to
add something else, like more support, right?

(55:58):
Whether it's a back brace on the shelf
or whether it's adding another, let's say, a
leg or arm to hold the shelf up.
So these are important things that I think
everyone in our world comes across.
But the reason people don't make the right

(56:19):
choices is because they are too much in
a hurry.
Yeah, they're in a hurry.
And the thing is, when they're in a
hurry, you know what happens?
Haste makes waste.
So now they now have to do the
stuff over and over and over and over
again.
I mean, they have to just keep doing
it over and over again.
And this becomes, well, not just a chore,

(56:42):
but now it's like we've lost the purpose
to why the heck we even do something.
All right, I think that's a very, very
important thing to understand.
And I think if we can embrace that
whole percentage, that whole point, I think you

(57:04):
will understand more why this is becoming more
of a, I'm going to say it's becoming
more of a competition, more of a competition.
And the competition that you have might sound

(57:29):
great, guys.
I mean, it might sound like the best
thing in the world.
I mean, like really, really the best thing
in the world.
And if that happens, then I feel that
life can be pretty amazing, pretty different, right?

(57:52):
But if we don't do those things, if
we don't do the right things, then suddenly,
I don't know, guys, it gets to be
a problem.
Because now it starts to get in the
way of your core values, okay?
It gets in the way of your core

(58:13):
values.
And that's something that I think a lot
of people, like I just don't think they
understand the why, okay?
And that why might be something that you're
saying, well, John, I don't get this.
I think that I can do whatever I
want.
Okay, I mean, I'm not trying to stop

(58:34):
you, but I'm trying to give you an
idea of how and why things happen the
way they do.
And I think that's probably the best thing
that I can do for you guys is
let you understand what that really means.
And that's something that I believe is going

(58:55):
to change, like your whole outlook in life,
all right?
And that outlook is something that I believe
is really something that you're not going to
understand today.
You're not going to understand tomorrow, but you
will understand after you've done this for quite

(59:16):
a while.
So, hey, guys, I'm John C.
Morley.
I hope you guys have a fantastic, amazing
rest of your week, weekend.
I'll catch you guys next week.
Be well, everyone.
