I'm Jake, but my friends call me Moose Jaw. I'm a blacksmith and I like to work with my hands. I watch and trust true news. Two things are clear to me. World War III has started and the USA is very unstable. I have faith in God, but He expects us to use our brains and our hands to prepare for trouble. There are two things we need. Food and water.

That's why I buy supplies from AmericanReserves.com. American Reserves offers easy-to-prepare chicken and beef meals, pastas, soups, and vegetables that only need boiling water. You can purchase the world-famous British Birkfield gravity-fed water filters equipped with Dalton ceramic handles and other emergency supplies at AmericanReserves.com. My family's security is critical to me. Something big is coming. Procrastination could be costly.

Act today before a crisis suddenly appears. Be ready. Be wise. Go to AmericanReserves.com. rick wiles here with true news i am traveling in the western united states this week attending some very important meetings i'll be gone week, but I have something really special for you this week. I am convinced you're going to like it. Here at Faith and Values, we are introducing a new podcast. The podcast is called Next Tech News, and it will be co-hosted by our own Paul Benson and Eric Rodriguez. You don't want to miss these podcasts. So make sure you watch every day this week, and I'll be back next week. Here's Paul and Eric.

Welcome to Next Tech News. I'm your host, Paul Benson. On this podcast, we covered the latest in artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, transhumanism, and the fourth industrial revolution. Really exciting stuff. Joining me today is none other than Eric Rodriguez. How's it going, man? Good. How are you? We're back again. Yesterday, we said this is it. We had a third episode, but surprise, here we are. Just kidding. Yeah. We are doing episode number four in the series with True News. Really glad to be here again. We spent the day gathering some additional articles and we found out last minute that we needed to produce another show. So we're really excited. We found some amazing stuff.

So let's get into it. Thankfully, there's just so much AI stuff going on that there's plenty of news to pull from. I know. There really is. The moment I think I can't find anything, it's just article after article. It's incredible. So on today's podcast, we're going to be covering CRISPR chickens. I'll explain more.

Well, they're gene modified chickens that are supposed to save the world from the bird flu. So we'll get into that a little bit. We'll be talking about AI, artificial general intelligence. I actually have some updates on that. Elon Musk is going to cure the world of blindness with his new Neuralink blind site. We're going to talk about deep fake and Kate Gate, if you've heard of it. And then we're going to delve into AI and health. So to start things off, we're going to go, Well, actually, I want to mention Faith and Values, of course.

So Faith and Values, we have a Next Tech News community and podcast area. And there you can share articles with us. If we miss something, please drop it in there. We'll get a notification and check it out. Comment. We're already receiving some comments on the first pilot episode that we posted there. So we really appreciate that. Be sure to check it out. There's a seven-day free trial. There's a lot of new content on there and an amazing community. So check out Faith and Values for sure. All right. So we're going to be talking about artificial general intelligence.

And Eric, I believe you found a couple of these articles with Meta, and this was interesting. This kind of was a curveball. I didn't expect this to come out of nowhere, but the title says, Meta is on the brink of releasing AI models, and it claims to have human-level cognition. They're hinting at new models capable of more than just simple conversations. So as I said in previous episodes, this is kind of the next level that we're all looking for

in AI's technological advances. So having new language models and being able to be more human-like, to have full-on conversations. This is something that we're looking for in addition to this human-level cognition. And it just kind of remains to be seen. Each of these companies keep coming out with new buzzwords, and they're trying to keep their investors engaged, because everyone is just, there's so much competition. But coming from Meta, they probably do have something up their sleeve. The next item here, Meta is also rolling out their own version of AI chips. So I guess they're creating hardware. I mean, I had no idea that they were even looking into this, but I think NVIDIA has been supplying all their AI chips.

But now, just like OpenAI, they're getting into chip manufacturing anything else you can tell us about this eric yeah yeah if you want to go to down to 2a um talk about the next generation of mtia as part of their broader full stack development program for custom domain specific silicon that addresses their unique workloads and systems and their new version of this MTA is actually doubles the compute power and memory bandwidth so once again as we've talked about in another episode of next tech news with Nvidia you know the goal is is that there's so much data that needs to be pushed through and processing power that's that needs to be happening on a machine these

companies are building these gpus and these chips and things to be able to handle this this new um drive this new uh excitement around ai um and meta as we see here they're they're they're no different they're ready to jump into the game of building their own chips so they're not relying on nvidia anymore um and that's their goal is they're they're aiming to uh basically wean themselves off of uh nvidia's um manufacturing process and to be able to start producing their own their own hardware and when you have your own hardware and your own software you're able to like hardware. And when you have your own hardware and your own software, you're able to, like, Paul, you know, you've built different apps and websites and tech stacks

where, you know, if you're able to have, you know, the hardware and the software and, you know, underneath one house, you're able to move quicker, develop faster, provide updates a lot quicker. And in this race of AI, you You know having both the hardware and software and underneath the same team or the same roof means you're gonna be able to move a lot faster and be able to Gain ground quicker as AI is rapidly growing And I also mentioned I asked me a note here for myself. We talked about previously in another episode that you know will come out here soon,

where Sam Altman is on a mission to roll out his own chip manufacturing facilities worldwide. He's wanting trillions of dollars to do so because, as we saw during the pandemic timeframe, there was companies that couldn't get GPUs. You couldn't get chips. You were basically stuck. You were on hold to be able to build or improve your computer or your server. Well, Sam doesn't like that. He wants to be able to build facilities that are able to produce more because more is going to be needed as more and more companies are rolling out their own feature set when that includes AI. Yeah. And go ahead. And Facebook, you know, imagine the amount of data that they have on all their customers. So not only are they like rolling out new AI,

you know, front end, front facing, customer facing features, but they're also using learning models and bringing all this data in. And so they have their own hardware, their own, I'm assuming this is going to lead to their own data centers. So it does make sense, but it's intense, right? I mean, this meta is growing. And another interesting part of this article that stood out to me is that they were talking about how both in Facebook, Instagram, and threads, they also have an interesting approach to handling media that has been manipulated with AI. And I feel like AI is going to also be used to detect if something's made with AI, which is weird. But they're going to actually have a label out there that's going to label content that

says made with AI when it's automatically detected. So it probably is using AI to detect industry standard AI image indicators when people uploading the content disclose that it's generated with AI. So I thought that was interesting. And as we get to some of these other stories, you'll find why I found that more interesting today. Because it is tough to know what's real, what's fake, what's deepfake, what's manipulated. And having these little tags that will show up probably even in ads, it's interesting to me. I am interested to see what that's like if I'm scrolling through things and I see something that says made with AI. It's almost probably going to be like a friendly thing or it's cool that this is made with AI, right?

Yeah, so if you think about it right now, we have the ability to create stuff with AI, AI to be able to help identify things and or drive things for us, AI that helps with censorship, AI that will then flag AI content. You know, so it's just right there. And, you know, just in these stories right here,

we're seeing where AI is a hardware-driven thing, a software-driven thing, a censorship-driven thing. And we're only two, three articles into this and just touching on this very quickly. So yeah, it's going to be, it's a wild ride with this AI stuff and we're just scratching the surface with this stuff so far. I know it. I know it. We're going to keep moving through it. So next up, we're going to talk about synthetic voices. So OpenAI, who is running ChatGPT one of the leaders here well actually before I move away from Facebook

another thing that was meta was that it was in that article is that meta is kind of positioning themselves to overtake OpenAI and I thought that's OpenAI has so much buzz around them I mean it's kind of like we'll see if they can do it.

But with them making their own chips, they're wanting to be a competitor. And, you know, Meta does have so many users that they really can make claims like that as long as the technology is there. So we'll see what they come up with. And really, one of these companies may come out with some just groundbreaking service that blows all the rest of the competition out of the water. So as this competition continues, we'll give you updates. Okay. So moving on to OpenAI, they are now revealing that they have a voice engine that they have built apparently they've had it for since 2022 and they've been updating it and this is something that me and eric are very familiar with we did a deep dive into like all these companies we had a project that's uh

that is going to use technology like this. So OpenAI has a AI generator tool that can use text and audio sample to create natural sounding speech that closely resembles the original speaker. So down in 3A, I believe we can click

one of these. Some of the most amazing habitats on Earth are found in the rainforest. A rainforest is a place with a lot of precipitation, and it has many kinds of animals, trees, and other plants. Tropical rainforests are usually not too far from the equator and are warm all year. So that's an example of generated audio.

Sounds very realistic. With any of these services, I would always just like put some headphones on, close my eyes and just try to listen for any kind of evidence of it being synthetic. This one sounds very human-like. I don't know what your opinion on it, but-

Oh yeah, I mean, coming from this side, you know, I'm not, I mean, I'm looking, I'm listening to headphones and it does, it sounds like we're listening to a phone call of somebody that was live on the podcast with us. I know it. And the thing with OpenAI is that they seem to be able to scale products better, too, than other companies. A lot of these other companies have different business models, and they're not really thinking big. OpenAI really does think big. They have, they're like a tool set. If you want to create something with AI through APIs, you can do that

with OpenAI. They're very kind of versatile in that way. So seeing something like voice engine coming to open AI, if it is ever released, sounds like there's some questioning on if it's going to be released, but if it is, this could be a big deal and you'll see another jump in using synthetic voices. And that original article, it referenced this next one out of Forbes. And I thought this is hilarious. I was cracking up reading this. I just didn't even know this had happened. So it references 11 labs, which I'm familiar with. And Google also have tools that can mimic voices. And they have this text to voice AI service. But there's concerns around the usage of the tools.

And it's been higher in recent months. Earlier this year in New Hampshire, there were robocalls mimicking President Joe Biden, encouraging people not to vote in the state's Democratic primary. And they traced it to a New Orleans based magician magician like what is this article i don't even know wow um and he said he was hired by democratic political consultant to create the ai generated calls and then the federal communications commission unanimously adopted a ruling that effectively made the use of ai generated voices illegal i'm assuming that means just with on the like phone calls or robo calls that it's it's now illegal um but uh so there you go that's just an example of how a lot of this technology is cool but it's just

going to take a couple people with some bad ideas to ruin the whole game. Yeah, but with this being an election year, are we going to see, if not already, are we going to see a rise of deep fakes, of robocalls, of things like this taking place to try to manipulate people into voting a certain way this year? I mean, that's a big concern, especially if this sounds like, I mean, obviously Joe Biden's not going to call you, but for some people, they might get freaked out and get all excited about it and might think otherwise. But it's something, it's a great concern, especially with it being an election year this year. So we'll see what happens.

No, absolutely. And, you know, in the topic of, of deep fakes, I'd like to move on to number five and then we'll, we'll go to number four later. Um, you may have, have heard us talk about this in the pilot episode. Um, but if this is the first time hearing about it, I wanted to talk about this because moving into the election year with deep fakes and all this, there's a couple of stories today that really challenges what we perceive as real. This is an article. They talked about this when we were at Mobile World in Barcelona.

It's when I first heard about the story. But a finance worker essentially paid out $25 million after a video call with a deep fake chief financial officer. So essentially, bad actors were able to scan the face of the CFO of a large Hong Kong organization and had a video call with an employee and successfully was able to convince them to transfer 25 mil to various bank accounts. And they got away with it, I think initially, um, I don't even know if they had, I believe when I was reading this article, they hadn't recovered the money yet, but there's also been like eight people, um, arrested. Um, but it just goes to show you like, um, how far this will, this could go. Um, and then moving on to, uh, number six. So I want to talk about Kate Gate. This is

interesting. I want to watch a couple minutes of, well, one minute of footage here. Let's see if you guys notice anything odd about this video. We had talked about this previously. I'll tell the story in just a moment, but take a look at this video and see if it seems normal to you guys. I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I've been recovering from surgery.

It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family but I've had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me for which I'm so grateful. In January I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful however tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I'm now in the early stages of that treatment. This of course came as a huge shock and William and I have been doing everything we can

to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that's appropriate for them

and to reassure them that I'm going to be okay. As I've said to them, I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body and spirits. Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too. As is the love, support and kindness

that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both. All right. So as we were watching this, I actually had planned during this episode to go into a deep dive in explaining the conspiracy theories around this video. So let me just rewind back. So there was initially a photo of Kate Middleton that was released after she disappeared from the public. I'm sure you've already heard of this story, but essentially her hands were edited and it looked like she had been photoshopped in with her children. And then it was released by the palace and then they like pulled it all back and had, you know, retraction of that photo. And there's just a ton of conspiracy theories about like, where's Kate Middleton?

Did something happen to her? And then to like silence all the hysteria and the conspiracy theories, they put out this video. Okay. the conspiracy theories they put out this video okay um well it just fueled the fire because everyone was already worried about kate middleton and not believing what was happening and so they doubled down that this video was fake and i heard about this and i was thinking come on these people need to relax well right okay today I zoomed in on her, the way she was holding her hands. Apparently her ring disappears.

And I even like zoomed in on her eyes and as she's like speaking and I was convinced, I was messaging Eric today. I was like, this is fake. This is deep fake. I was starting to like snowball into the conspiracy theory, believing that it's, it's not real. Um, furthermore, so Getty video,

um, Getty images is, is a service that news organizations use to purchase rights to footage. It's kind of the gold standard with all these videos and images. So Getty is behind this publication and they put out a disclaimer and there actually are articles about this. Yeah, there's one in the independent. So there's an editor's note that says, this is a standard disclaimer. Okay. It says something handout clip was provided by a third-party organization and may not adhere to Getty Images editorial policy. So people were thinking that that must mean that Getty also detected that it might have been deep faked or that AI had generated part of this video. And I'm telling you, it really did appear that way. However, I was able to go to Getty and actually, it was actually a free clip that you could buy. And I've still yet to get the full 1080p version.

I actually had to call Getty and went through all this. I feel like I'm doing this investigative journalism, right? And even the lower quality versions, it looks so much better. And it looks very realistic to me. So on the next episode of the podcast, I'll kind of give my final analysis for what it's worth, but, um, I, I think it possibly is real. Um, and I mean, question for you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did the audio sound different? Yes. Okay. All right. That was the thing on my side, quick on my side i'm listening so i

listened to it on my end before the show now i'm listening to you know through here and i can hear like i don't you know our audio guys be like he doesn't know what he's talking about or saying the wrong words but i hear like the um compression stop or something like i hear words and it goes silent and then when she hears and starts talking again i hear like birds in the background and the compression stop or something like I hear words and it goes silent. And then when she hears and starts talking again, I hear like birds in the background and then it goes silent again. And that's what made me think, well, maybe this isn't real because the audio sounds like it, it was a text to speech audio service.

There's even a point later in the video where her voice literally sounds synthetic and i listened to this one part like over and over again so i believe my hypothesis on this is that there's just a number of things that are just it's coincidental um the youtube version that was put out by them the official youtube version is has terrible compression on it and so and the one from getty is like crystal clear but her even her like fingers look weird her eyes her mouth looks very digital and it's all because it was just compressed really poorly i don't know about the audio um it'll be interesting to see what comes of this. I'm obviously, you know, I'm going to be keeping an eye on this story. And I'm just going to be very careful to make any predictions. I was

ready to come out and say, I think something's going on today. But, you know, I just, I tried to go to the source with this stuff. You know, There's a lot of crazy stuff out there in the internet. And so I'm very skeptical when I read stuff. I'm like, all right, I'm going to actually dig deep. Well, the story will continue on that. That's another reason to listen or watch the Next Tech News podcast. We'll circle back to it. If you're enjoying Next Tech News, I want to ask you a

very special request. If you wouldn't mind taking a few moments and searching for us on YouTube, Facebook, or X and locating our podcast, we'd really appreciate if you would drop us a like or subscribe. We're also on Spotify podcasts and Apple podcasts. We're fighting against the algorithm and search engines and the rankings that be with a new podcast. So all that we ask, go search for us on Google or your social media accounts. We're also going to put the links down below in the description. Again, if you would just take a few minutes to do that, that would be a huge help. We really appreciate it. All right, back to the show.

All right, moving along. Let's get into CRISPR chickens. You wanted to say crispy chicken, didn't you? I did. I was thinking I'd do like a pun there, but yeah. CRISPR is in the news again. Man, it was so interesting when this first was coming out. I think we originally did some old school Next Tech news

on CRISPR back in the day when it was first announced. So if you don't know what that is, it is gene editing. And this is in the news actually because of bird flu also being in the news. And I know that True News also covered

this on I believe it was April 11th, they covered the bird flu. So H5N1 is infecting cattle and it's jumped from mammal to a human for the first time. So I'm bringing this up because CRISPR is in this article, and this is from Wired, and it got me interested. Why is this story in the Wired publication? So as I was reading the article, it goes further to discuss these predictive models, and they're using AI-driven technologies to prevent these infections in the first place, which I found interesting. I don't know how they're using AI to do it, but apparently even in satellite imagery, and machine learning to understand how waterfall behavior around different farms is changing. And they can use this information to understand which of the 50,000 to 60,000 commercial poultry facilities in the U.S. are most at risk and form strategies to protect all birds in those facilities. This next part is super interesting to me. Technology may ultimately offer a path towards eliminating the virus in commercial poultry. In October, a team of

researchers in the U.K. published a study in the journal Nature Communications, demonstrating that it is possible to use the gene editing tool CRISPR to make chickens resistant to the avian influenza. This was done through the editing of genes that make the proteins, these certain proteins in chickens, which the virus uses to access to chicken cells. So the question may eventually be, do you want to eat gene edited chicken? Um, we probably already are, but, uh, officially they may, they may bring in CRISPR and gene editing as a way to stop viral disease from spreading. Who knows what this means and if there's any long-term side effects from consuming consuming poultry or other animals that have been gene edited. This just, I don't know. We'll see what this means. This could be, you know, on the most innocent side of this,

it possibly could help solve a terrible problem. Um, but, uh, any, any kind of gene editing is DNA alter alteration is just, I mean, it's, it's, uh, who knows, who knows what they're doing and who knows what the long-term effects of something like this will, will, will have on humanity. Um, I don't know. I found it kind of interesting. Anytime CRISPR is in the news, because this is, this kind of, I learned about this way back in high school watching, I remember we watched the movie Gattaca in our science class. And, you know, that's when I first, the concept of, you know, designer babies or being able to choose, you know, what kind of features your child would have. They were able to, it was in this futuristic world where gene edited humans were kind of the highest society. And if you weren't, if you weren't part of that program, you were like lower society. It's a good movie. If you haven't seen it check it out um but anytime i see this stuff in the news i always want to

pull it out because it's uh it's definitely interesting to me and i i feel like there's they're gonna take an opportunity like this to uh create these publications and get the public a little more used to, okay, CRISPR is good. CRISPR is going to help me. And it may unlock some amazing things in the future. But we skeptical ones have our eyes on this stuff. Yeah, the idea of being able to remove something that could be a long-term health side effect, the idea around it sounds great. You know, be able to fix it, to manipulate it to where it becomes not bad, I guess you can say.

But to what degree? You know, it's like these scientists, these technologists are playing God, basically, and manipulating DNA and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, it just, yeah. Definitely. Go ahead. It's amazing technology, but it's just going to take one scientist that doesn't know what they're doing to accidentally start the zombie apocalypse, in my opinion. There you go. But hopefully not. Yeah, right. they're doing to accidentally start the zombie apocalypse in my opinion there you go so um yeah right it's our last broadcast the zombie apocalypse takes over all right so um moving on

we have some awesome health articles um eric you kind of went into a deep dive starting out with this Google article unveiling MedLM generative AI models for healthcare. What can you tell us about this? Yeah, so this article came out December of last year. And I follow a lot of different tech news, YouTube channels, a lot of AI channels that discuss the latest in AI. And a lot of them tend to, you know, talk about the latest in things that would help like your work and your productivity or like the whole meta stuff or NVIDIA, you know, new chips and whatever they're doing. But not a lot of them have really touched on the latest from Google and whatever they're doing. But not a lot of them have really touched on the latest from Google and what they're doing in partnering with a lot of healthcare providers or even

healthcare companies that provide technology to hospitals and things like that. So Google is making a huge push in their health and AI. Just here a few weeks ago or so, they've announced more additions and more advancements and features to their learning models. And Gemini is playing a key factor. So this right here goes on. It says Google's work on generative AI models in healthcare has advanced rapidly since it rolled out MedCalm, a large language model designed to provide answers to medical questions just a year ago. Google says it's been working with companies to test med LM, which is large or a language

model. And those companies are now moving into production in their solutions or broadening their testing. One of these companies that they kind of highlight is called called Aug medics. And they utilize Google's cloud clouds vertex AI platform to fine tune some models using training data created by the company's existing technology, which generates 70,000 notes per week and spans more than 30 specialties. The company anticipates that integrating the Google's MedLM into its ambient medical documentation, now that's a new phrase I want to keep an eye out for, will improve the

quality of medical note output and provide faster turnaround time, augmented autosub plans to rapidly expand into more subspecialties through 2024 and i've got a quick little youtube video to demonstrate um what augmedics is going to offer and i want to get one again i want to highlight uh keep an eye out whether it be at you know your next doctor visit um or your you know you had to go to the hospital for something, keep an eye out for this term, ambient medical documentation, or also known as ambient clinical listening. And here's an example of what that will look like. It's a more natural clinician patient interaction. Good morning. How are you feeling today? Really well, actually. Regarding your diabetes, has the continuous glucose monitor made it easier to control your blood sugars? Yeah. It's nice just to look at a monitor and see how much insulin I'll need.

That's good to hear. In addition to the insulin, let's continue on the metformin 500 milligrams twice a day for now. Augmedics Go helps clinicians and patients form a human connection at the point of care through simple technology that works passively in the background. All right. So you see here where the idea around this technology is that they're wanting the patient and the doctor or the physician to have more of a face-to-face connection. And so what they're doing is they're putting a tool, in this case, a cell phone, that's built with this AI or has an AI app on it that is basically transcribing the communication between the physician and the patient.

And it's basically taking notes and analyzing, okay, what keywords are being said, what prescription is needed, or what's going on. Is there a spike in something? Is something improving? And it's going to start giving real-time information to the physician as to how to better treat the person as a means to help them quicker. That is amazing. So this is something to keep an eye out on. So this is, like I i said one of the companies that they're that google's working with to bring um ai into the the hospital room basically that is

that is mind-blowing to me because you know where this is going right um because we've seen um with covid right it was there was uh being able to get phone consultations with doctors and have medicine prescribed was has become very widely used. just like on yesterday's show we talked about um going shopping and how you know it's all going to potentially be automated in the future to keep costs down so imagine being able to get um have an ai doctor visit where the actual nurse or the doctor will only get involved if something's flagged or maybe they just review and approve what ai has already done so you can meet with a robot and have a conversation about what's going on and um have it's just another human interaction taken away um i mean so but it but it's really, it's cool that they have this technology. Anything like this is going to help with, you know, in hospital workers.

But let's see where it goes in the next 10 to 15 years. I'm sure it will just keep on going just like all of these. Well, actually, on that note, let's skip down to 9b really quick uh lee if you could start at um the 20 second mark on this video just let's go ahead and play this and um it goes along with what paul was kind of hinting towards as far as getting access but let's go another step further. What if you yourself had the ability to understand and kind of self-diagnose to an extent? Let's go ahead and play this real quick. What if someday you could have personalized health insights that honor your strength? Your resilience. Your family.

Your needs as they evolve every day. Over the course of your whole life. In the future, your health journey should reflect everything that you are and help you make the right choices for your body. All right. So there you go. So this is where Google's heading with their new Google Health AI. You saw there where I don't know if that lady was basically

through her phone in some fashion doing an ultrasound or if she was able to have some kind of connection with her health records that allowed her to be able to see an ultrasound through her phone uh but then you had the guy who was able to just scan his eye to determine um different things you know so this is where google's heading um and when i was doing some research on on this health and ai there was different words that were coming up and it was one of them was burnout that a lot of physicians and doctor's offices are experiencing burnout because of the increase of health uh care that's taking place and the decrease of people in the

field to be able to support and take care of these people. So I heard that multiple times in different articles where they're using AI as a means to gain quicker access to medical records. You're having quicker diagnosis. You're able to have quicker real-time monitoring of what's going on and or remote monitoring of what's going on you know um what are your thoughts on all this so far paul oh man i i mean i can just see how many doctor visits could be alleviated with this kind of technology. It's tough, man. I'm right in the middle with this stuff because I can see the good and the bad, right? And the ugly.

I remember a story I like to tell. One of the tech conferences we went to years ago when 5G was just announced. And when 5G was announced, I'm thinking, these cell towers are going to melt our brains and all this stuff. And it was, but the technology, so there was one use case that really stood out to me. And it was this for patients that have traumatic brain uh, I believe it was a brain bleed. If I remember correctly, there's a procedure where the doctor has to literally the only procedure for this, uh, for this moment would be to draw a spot on the back of someone's head and then jab a long syringe into the back of

their skull and if they're off by like a millimeter the patient dies and um you know hopefully none of us are ever in that position but what this uh doctor had spent years developing and 5G was allowed, enabled him to complete his work. If I can ever find the name of that doctor, I'll bring it to the show. He was able to create this process where they would do a CT scan or an MRI of the patient, and then using augmented reality, he's able to put on these goggles. The doctor would then be able to see the patient lying on the table, be able to see through the patient, see his brain, and then be able to find the perfect path. So rather than just praying and hoping that this thing isn't going to kill the person, they're able to they literally were able to create their own procedure using this advanced technology. So, you know, we can all gawk at this stuff and point at it and say it's, you know, the end of the world, which it might be. But there are some good use cases for this, I think, in healthcare. So just a quick story on that, but it's all very interesting. I think we should keep

going back to healthcare with this, Eric. Every couple of weeks, we should definitely just browse through all this stuff because there's always something new and interesting coming through healthcare for sure. Absolutely. Yeah. There's, um, and if I want to jump back up here real quick to, um, number nine, you know, those of those of you who are, who are used fit bits, you know, the, uh, the smartwatch or fitness tracker, you know, uh, Fitbit is owned by Google. So Google is definitely ramping up their ability to use Gemini and AI to start to start seeing more AI being trained with your data and or the system on the back end being able to to be helping people uh analyze sleep better be able to detect stress levels in a way that would hopefully prompt you to do something different with your life like get up and move or breathing exercises and things like that so you're seeing uh you're gonna be seeing a rise in that and um i have a little uh chart here where according to

the tista i hope i'm saying that correctly the smart watch market worldwide is projected to reach 47 nearly 48 billion this year alone so that's a lot of data for google and companies like apple samsung to be able to uh you utilize your health data to understand you better and to hopefully provide you with more insights on what's going on with your life. We've seen stories where the Apple Watch, the whole fall detection where people have fallen or they've gotten lost and is able to trigger something or a heart attack happens. and it was able to do things that if they didn't have the Apple watch, it would have been a problem. So you're going to start seeing a rise of, of that, uh, here in this coming year. Yeah, absolutely. There's, there's a number of

technologies that are out there that you don't really think about it until you need them. And when you need them, you'd be really thankful that they're there. One of them, I don't even know if you know about this, Eric, I learned about this in mobile world. Did you know that if you have a current generation iPhone, that it can connect to satellites? Yeah. Yeah. I have a 15 Pro. You do. So you know about this. So this is is incredible if you're ever in a dire situation and you're out wandering the wilderness um and you're really in trouble hide from those zombies right um your phone will connect to a satellite that's passing over um and i listened to this

gentleman who was talking about this this technology and how it all works. And he was involved in one of the first phone calls where they tested this on a remote island that didn't have any kind of connectivity. And we've all heard of hikers and someone getting lost. Right. But now your phone can literally connect to a satellite as it's going over just using current generation technology, actually older generation technology. So that's just an example of how this technology is not against us and it can be used for good. But that's what this show is all about, is giving you these tough questions where you have to kind of balance morality, spirituality, and just the general well-being of humanity.

So we won't try to let you have your own opinion on this, but we're just simply bringing this information so you can kind of have an insight into what the future holds. Another topic, I want to go to 13. So we've been talking a lot about Neuralink and this is one that really stood out to me today. I have been researching Neuralink like crazy all week and somehow I missed blindsight. So, I mean, this title of this article, Elon Musk claims Neuralink's brain computer chip can cure blindness. You know, I just immediately was thinking about, I kind of had this Elon Musk is, is also claiming that he can clear a cure blindness. Um, now this isn't necessarily just theory. They, um, they have already used Neuralink and monkeys and they have the blind sign implant and it's already

working with monkeys. Apparently this is in like a very like they called it early early Nintendo graphics but would potentially exceed normal human vision in the future. So the way that this is explained, you would essentially have a camera on your forehead and it would be connected to your smartphone. And then the image is then transferred to brainwaves. And through the Neuralink, you're able to receive an image and your cortex will bypass eyesight. So somehow they're able to do all of that. I mean, this is intense. It's crazy. And I couldn't imagine having lived my, imagine people that have been blind their whole life reading an article like this. I mean, this is incredible. But I want to be sensitive to, you know, what this means.

I was kind of I'm excited about this. It's interesting. At the same time, I'm like somewhat sad. You know, you have all these, you know, blind people that essentially there's no one, there's no healing ministries going around anymore. I don't hear about this stuff anymore. You know, I've heard of people being healed from blindness. And, you know, there is a healer that could heal you from blindness, but on the other side you have technology where they're able to put a brain chip. You know, they have to cut a hole in your skull and place this chip

and then bring your skin back over the chip, and then you're able to charge it. It's interesting. We'll see what comes of it. It's another one of those things that kind of pulls on your heartstrings and you're thinking, how can I not agree with something like this? I wouldn't want people, if the technology is available, someone to go about life without having vision. It's just amazing. So, you know, with all of this, I want to finish things up today. Let's just kind of have an open discussion, Eric. We got about four minutes left. I got a couple more articles, but let's just kind of unpack some of what we've learned

in this week. We got thrown into this and we have covered some of the biggest topics, um, in the tech world. We're not just talking about little updates and interesting things. These are big, big topics. And I'm sure people that have been watching this are wondering what we think of it, why we're going over it. And I'm sure some of it's also kind of scary. This is the conversation that we're starting. This is why we're doing this. I think the future is bright.

I feel like we can go a number of different ways and we're just going to be reporting on this. Eric, do you have any thoughts just on anything that stood out to you this week that's impacted you and you're thinking, have you changed? Have any of your perceptions on this changed in the past week or anything you'd like to add as we close? The only thing that's really stood out to me is just the advancement of what's taken place literally in just this week alone. We're just seeing a lot of advancement you know across different industries that are meant to help people but at the same time it's bringing a lot of fear and a lot of uncertainty to people and i i i've always had the the viewpoint when it comes to new technology

like when 5g rolled out you heard everything about that and um just kind of thinking like you know just you probably had the same ideas and thoughts when 4g came out and 3g came out just learn about what's happening you know i'm not saying being open to my have being open-minded about different things and being naive to certain things but a lot of this technology is here to help. And if there's certain things that you're not for, like putting a chip in your brain, like I'm definitely not for that personally. But at the same time, I can't be mad or upset if someone else does it because I don't have like how you said, you know, got to be very sensitive to people who are in places where technology is helping them.

All technology is not bad. And you just have to learn and take a moment to learn and understand what is taking place and how it can help you in your life, at work, at home, wherever. But this is the conversation that we can also have at Faith and Values. So we're wanting to extend in the Next Tech News to having new conversations. This'll be interesting to see where this takes us.

We also have the ability to hold live streams on Faith and Values. So I think once we get our community kind of up and running, we're able to meet with up to, I believe, nine individuals on a live stream, live video call. This could lead to having a live Q&A session where have people join us, ask questions. Definitely, if you guys have a topic or articles that you guys find and you want us to review them or you want to get our take on them, do a deep dive into a topic, please let us know. Again, check out Faith and Values. Hey, on behalf of Eric Rodriguez and the
