Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's move into Tech Tuesday with Rich Tomorrow, who has
heard every Saturday here on KFI Live as opposed to
being dead eleven am to two, and he's on KTLA
every day.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Got I'd love to you know, there are a lot
of dead people in my life.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I'd love to talk to and instagram at Rich on
tech website, richontech dot TV.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
All right, Rich, let's start moving.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Let me see the stories restaurant restaurants pushing back on
Google AI explain that please.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Oh, I thought this one was really funny. There's a
restaurant in Missouri that basically posted on their Facebook page, please.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Do not use Google AI to find our.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Specials, because basically people are you know, Google AI shows
up at the top.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Of your Google search results.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
People probably google the name of this pizza place, Stephanina's,
and they probably say, you know, Stephanina's specials, And at
the top it probably has an AI overview that says, oh.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah, you can get a large pizza for the price
of a.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Small And if people call in for this pizza and
the pizza place like, no, we don't have that special
and so it's now saying do not use AI for
our specials. And I just think this is a such
a telling story because we are all using AI, or
many of us are, and I'm not kidding.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
It makes up stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So much of the time people just think it's the
right thing, and it's not unless you know differently.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Is this a hallucinan a hallucination that's being created by AI?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, in a way, Yeah, I guess so it is.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I mean AI is known to hallucinate because it gets
all this different stuff and just kind of mixes it together.
And a lot of the times it's great and it's right.
But if you really look a little bit deeper, no
matter what you're doing, whether it's creating a picture, whether
you're doing research, like there's a little tiny nuggets, it
gets wrong sometimes, you know. And for this, I think
(02:00):
what's happening is, you know, it's just finding a lot
of information on the web about pizza specials and the
name of this place, and when it scrapes all that information,
it's kind of just a big jumble of data that
it's trying to make sense of and it just is
not getting it right.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And that's not to say that they haven't or will
have that special it's just it's not going on. Now,
I'm assuming and the AI is just saying it is,
and it's just dead wrong.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Do I have that right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I think it's two parts.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I think at some point maybe they ran a similar special.
But I think at the other side of things, AI
is just taking all the information about the specials, all
the information it knows about pizza, all the information it
knows about this pizza place, and just jumbling it all
together in this big stew and trying to spit something
out at the top of Google to like make sense.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
And it's just not true. None of it's true.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Okay, this one is personal for me Apple TV Plus
price fight because I am a subscriber to Apple TV Plus.
So what am I looking at in terms of more money?
What am I going to pay?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, Bill, you are now going to pay thirty percent
more every single month, which equates to three dollars a month.
But I mean, look, I'm saying it a little facetiously.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Three dollars. I get it.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
It's not going to make or break a lot of
subscribers to Apple TV Plus, but it's part of a
bigger trend that I always say. We have three things
in life, life, death, taxes, or all right, we have
two things in life. Three things death taxes, and the
price of streaming services will go up regularly. It's just
(03:43):
like cable TV back in the day.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
So we're talking.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Apple TV Plus started at five bucks a month. It
was like a no brainer. They gave it to people
for like a year free, and then it just slowly
but surely, the price just keeps ratcheting up. Went to six, nine,
nine ninety nine and now twelve ninety nine. And you know,
I'm not getting that.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Value out of Apple TV Plus, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
But of course I will probably remain a subscriber since
I have the Apple one, which has like ten thousand
things that Apple offers for like forty bucks a month.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Also, I'm looking at the price of everything else, and
when you talk about price creep if you are like
me and I am really.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Into these streaming services.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So I have Hulu and Netflix, and I have Apple
TV and Discovery Plus, and we just keep on going
and going. I'm paying buckets of money, and the last
thing I need is three dollars per and all of
a sudden, over eight or ten platforms or even five platforms,
(04:46):
which a lot of people have, man you're talking about
some money. I mean, what is Netflix without commercials? I
don't even eighteen dollars a month something ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, I mean I think I'm at yeah, eighteen bucks
a month. That's for the I think that's for the standard.
The premiums even higher. Because I'm up to like thirty
four dollars a month for Netflix. I'm paying for an
extra member. Are you doing that yet? I mean, I'm
paying for like another member of my family to have
Netflix for free.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
That's how nice. I don't build.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing. I don't handle it.
All I know is I write the checks.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
And it's so you're writing a check to Netflix.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I don't know we're paying. I have no idea how
it's being paid. No, I don't write checks. I mean
I write the checks. That's rhetorical. I pay for it. Okay, God, Oh,
that's like a term people use. Right. Probably until about
six months ago, I wrote the checks and now and
then I just got tired of people.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Looking at me and saying, you old old man, stop it.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Oh, like at the grocery store, when they like the
person who I actually had seen that like a couple
of weeks ago, Like at the grocery store, someone was
writing a check. My kids were like, what is happening
right now? And I had to explain that I don't
know why they were writing a check, but they were.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Anyway, Look, the.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Bottom line is all these streaming services, as far as
I can tell, every single time I get a renewal,
the price is going up, like whether you know, I'm
trying to pay now and this is the cheapest way
to subscribe to these things is the year in advance, right.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Like Disney Plus, I paid for like the whole year, but.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Of course I got the renewal notice and it's like, oh,
it's going from one forty for the year to one
sixty for the year. Same thing with all these services. Now,
Apple TV Plus does not let you pay in a
year in advance as far as I know. But again,
this price creep, like you said, is real, and people
are deciding, you know, which services am I getting the
most use out of which one should I cancel and
(06:40):
just pick up again when a good show comes out
on them?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Okay, Chuck E Cheese is Chuck E Cheese is now
Chuck's Arcade.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I went to a birthday party at Chuck E.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Cheese's a few months ago, maybe a year ago, and
it was a birthday party for a two year old
or something. This is my daughter's husband's nephew.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I think.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
In any case, I think it's the last audio animatronic
Chuck E Cheese show that exists in the country. And
the yeah, north Ridge, and it is great story there. Yeah,
the technology is phenomenal. Do you remember Clutch Cargo the cartoon,
(07:26):
No clutch cargo the cartoon, only the mouth worked. They
that was it. It was pretty basic. This one was
pretty basic. That's for starters. Not much there. And you
said that they have a new concept no pizza.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
So this is a new place I visited called Chuck's Arcade.
This is a spinoff brand from Chuck E Cheese and
the first California location just opened at the Braham All.
So on Friday, I went there. I was one of
the first people in there. And it is basically bill
like an arcade you might remember from your youth, right, Like,
you go in there, there's a bunch of games and
(08:07):
you just play games. Of course, you know there's prizes.
There's there's no food, but there's like you know, candy, stuff,
like that merchandise. And the cool thing is, you know
all the games. You know, they got like retro games
like the pac Man and stuff, but they also have
the new high tech games and also the Claw games,
which apparently all the kids are into, including mine. But
(08:28):
the thing is about this is that they have the
old animatronics. Each location that they're building, they're you know,
cause they've decommissioned all the animatronics from all the locations
of Chuck E Cheese except for that one in Northridge,
and so they're putting one of those animatronic guys into
each one of these locations, but behind glass and it
doesn't move.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It's just like a museum piece almost. But it's cool.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I mean, this is a great place for kids to
go and play adults. It's basically for people of all ages.
So adults now that remember Chuck E Cheese as a kid,
and just like arcades can go in there. Kids can
go with their parents, teenagers can go in there after school.
Most of them are in malls. They've got about ten
of them open so far, and it's just kind of
a new way to you know, expand the Chuck E
(09:12):
Cheese brand.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, that makes sense when you think about it, because
they do birthday parties there. The one I went to
was a birthday party. And the pizza they serve there,
which every year wins first prize from the National Association
of the worst pizza on the planet, and it's the arcade.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
That's what they go for.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
The kids love the arcades and they spend a fortune
because mom and dad give them buckets of money and
it's not particularly cheap. And so I'm assuming how much
you just your kid went there?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Right, Well, so no, I can't tell you how much
the games cost at the arcade because since I was media,
they let me play, you know, like it's all those cards.
Now by the way, there's no more quarters. It's those
like tap cards. So it's tough to tell because you
buy the anyway you buy the card, you charge it up,
and then.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
You use it.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Each game uses a certain amount. But look the reality,
I mean, I asked.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Chokichia, said is this affordable?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And they said, look, it's you know, compared to a
lot of forms of entertainment out there. It's all how
much you want to spend. You want to put twenty
bucks in the card you play twenty bucks, you want
to play forty dollars, you know, but kids beg their
parents for more and more. But look, it's just it's
another way of them to expand this brand name that
so many people love and have a lot of memories
for too. But again, no pizza, no restaurant, no birthday
(10:34):
parties inside the Chuck's arcade.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
It's just purely an arcade, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Makes sense.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And by the way, their argument that there are other
forms of entertainment that costs more, that's true, like front
row seats at Hamilton when it comes around, it's cheaper
than that.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, yes, it is slightly cheaper than a Taylor Swift
concert too. Yeah, they do have that going for them.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And by the way, when I talk about quarters going
in the machine, even I'm aware that that's just a
term that I know it's cards.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So there, Yes, I don't Bill.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I remember Vegas had coins, remember, I mean, you go
to Vegas and you had a bucket of coins.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
That's gone.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Oh I didn't know that you can't put coins in
the slot machines anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I mean maybe at like a circus circus they have
like a coin one, but no, the restaur all I
don't even know what it is.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
It's like just dollar. Yes, I guess I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I don't gamble, so I have absolutely no idea. Yeah,
well I gamble every morning. Yeah, I gamble every morning,
waking up and coming here. There's my gamble. All right, Rich,
we'll catch you next week and over the weekend Saturday,
right here on KFI at eleven o'clock.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
You have a good one, you two
