I enjoy these podcast videos because it's not a show, it's just a group of friends talking about something they love and having a fun time interacting with and off each other. That's what makes a podcast entertaining, regardless of the topic or theme, it's friends having a good time hanging out.
The lifted truck wheel (and entire hub assembly) separating and flipping that Kia Soul was terrifying. Reddit had a really good conversation about exactly what failed and how dangerous that lifted truck was even beyond the separated wheel hub. Worth a search if anyone is curious.
Lifted trucks (aka Mall Queens) are a scourge on the roads. Show me one dude driving a poorly lifted Ram 3500 or Ford F-350 who isn't suffering from micropenis.
The fact that they are talking about Astro as he was a child/pet, and retelling the f ups as funny stories, says this is the direction future androids should take
That stuff concerning the AI was scary. It brings up the old adage: “We were so focused on if we could that we never stopped to consider if we should…”
You guys HAVE to film the "going into the coffee shop with the jankiest gadgets" video. I know embarrassing public reaction videos aren't your schick, but it would be so good.
Andrew being so vocal about and stressing over how great the yellow check mark is. I got a feeling that he was indicating to Marques to get a business verification for MKBHD and have Andrew's personal account verified as an affiliate with a business expense 😂
Andrew said, "Tim Cook has it", during the Twitter segment and I paused and thought, "Does he mean Tim Apple?" and then realized the internet has ruined my mind far more than I initially thought.
Anyone else notice the dead pixel line on Ellis' and Adam's camera about 20 minutes in? It's right next to the mic. Might also just be an exporting artifact.
Just asked bing to break down the ARC test and part of the response was 'the results of the test are not publicly available yet, but OpenAI said that they will share them in a future blog post'. Not sure that will happen any time soon.
I know you guys don't normally delve too deep into Apple rumors, but as someone who does I feel like you have missed a lot of points to be made about the headset. I'd love some deeper discussion about it from you guys if you decide to look more into it! I'm sure you all would have a lot of fun talking about the rumored front facing display on the headset to display your eyes haha
They were wrong about the transformer in a phone. There is not a transformer in phones no matter if they have a wireless charger or not. The transformer is the brick that plugs into the wall is the transformer. This is for both wireless chargers and plug in chargers. For your phone to take wireless charging and covert it into your battery, it uses a rectifier which converts the AC current from the wireless charger to a DC current for your battery. IE no transformer is needed in your phone since the voltage is already converted to 5 volts before it even gets to your phone. PS, the first two sounds of the transformer they were playing have an arcing sound which basically means the transformer is probably about to explode so.
VW Polo is similar in size to the Toyota Yaris Hatchback or Prius C and a little bit bigger than the Chevy Spark. Those models have been available in the US currently or previously. Hope that size comparison helps.
1:03:15 - I mean, there *are* the other features of Blue that can be valuable (video uploads, edit/undo, folder bookmarks, etc.). Back when Blue was just $3 and *didn't* include verification, I was happily paying that, cause the features were valuable to me. Now, it's silly because that same feature set gives you a badge of shame on the site. and for more $. That's why people would want the ability to hide it.
The alignment problem isn't a question of whether it's 'evil' in the sense that it is intending to do harm - but rather whether it's goals are 'aligned' with our own. Example: you may not intend to harm a colony of ants on your way to work, but may end up driving/stepping on them nonetheless. Your goal wasn't malicious or intending to do harm - you simply had a goal/destination and they happened to be in the way.
The shoes just sound like a worse version of heelys. They weigh too much, they're loud, you have to charge them, etc. whereas heelys have none of that - some models can click a little but hardly noticeable, especially not through walls. The entire time they're talking about using them in an airport I'm just thinking of all the decade old videos of people speedrunning through airports with heelys. Jan Rezab has a quite a few videos running through a bunch of different airports with them.
I feel the same way, everybody is implementing an experimental not well understood model into products that impact real people and could potentially cause a lot of harm. Very frustrating to see
funny thing is, here in germany, you see about as many polos as you do golfs (maybe more like 35:65). It is wild to me, that y‘all know the golf so well but have never heard of the polo :O😅
My issue with Twitter and what Elon has done to the For You page on Twitter is, not only is he now limiting it to only people who are paying for Twitter Blue, which like Andrew said will ruin virality of Tweets from people with small-medium followings. But i also hate the Elon's Twitter algorithm for the For You page favors content that is meant to make you mad or illicit a reaction out of you for engagement (for the sake of Twitter's financials), rather than serving you content that is similar to what you like or might like but never would have found otherwise. At least TikTok's algorithm is actually meant to serve you more of stuff you actually like and want to see more of.
Finally I found someone who understands and explains how the twitter for you section works and what the change is going to do. I only use twitter for few accounts I follow and post some stuff on my new account as well. So I didn't yet understand that from other channels. And funnily nobody on my twitter even noticed that it was announced.
I feel like the Astro review prompt should be rephrased: “Would you split the cost of $1600 among your entire office staff to have an office mascot/pet at your place of work?” I feel like THAT is where this product shines. 😂
I once saw a c5 corvette t-bone a minivan at speed. It acted like a wedge, flipping the van over on its roof. Oddly, the vette was barely damaged. Van was totaled. Nobody was hurt thankfully. I think the tire might have just bounced off a low car with a wedge shaped front end.
You guys should recreate that coffee thing, visually looked strange and dope. Interesting how others would react. Everyone will share/repost that video
I hate that the podcast shows up first in my podcast app and I have to continuously refresh my yt waiting for it to show up because I prefer watching it on TH-cam
Hey Andrew I might be wrong but companies have to pay 50USD per affiliated account on top of the 1,000 USD - so not really worth for large companies as well considering most SaaS tools enterprise packages cost 15-20 buck per user, not sure of Twitter out values those
That really subtle line that goes through Adam whenever the camera is pointed at him had me really thinking there is something wrong with my laptop screen. 🤦
Being able to get around captcha should have been easy for the AI. The fact that it tried to hire someone to do something that it should have been able to do on its own is more of an indicator that it has a very surface-level understanding of what it's interacting with.
my problem with the AI test is why is the AI lying. It should be honest so why are they training it to be mischievous? Plus the ability to hold on to an agenda is extremely dangerous.
@@MyMainMan90 yeah I agree. My point was moreso that if it doesn't understand itself well enough to know that it can easily mimic a human to pass the captcha test, it probably doesn't understand the concept of lying.
davids a permanent host now let's gooo!!! also man this episode was such a downer lol. the AI feels like its about to tear the integrity of humanity apart then talking about the twitter FYP which puts a bad taste in my mouth because I feel like the algorithms gonna make everyone a lot more hateful because that's what gets clicks. although im very excited for dub dub ^^ and the headset!! ill prob buy the first gen because im apple brained but damn I know the next generation is gonna be way better and leave early adopters in the dust.
12:50 ish, when David said google, it activated my home and after I dismissed it it started reading about some Hindi Action movie called 'duplicates'. Even though I dismissed it, it bugged out and it kept speaking the whole thing😭
The fact that astro was referred as 'he' and not 'it' is the best compliment for engineers who worked on giving a robot personality.
YEEA
Did you just assume Astro’s pronouns? /s
Excuse me sir, just because they're a disaster and keep falling down the stairs doesn't mean they have to tolerate such comments.

Lifted trucks (aka Mall Queens) are a scourge on the roads. Show me one dude driving a poorly lifted Ram 3500 or Ford F-350 who isn't suffering from micropenis.
Terrifying - glad the driver was ok. Can we consider for a moment though the "insult to injury" of the tire re-hitting the car at the end?
The fact that they are talking about Astro as he was a child/pet, and retelling the f ups as funny stories, says this is the direction future androids should take
From now on the first half of the podcast needs to be “How everything changed and what we got wrong last week”, just to keep us up to date😊
So glad David is a regular now. Great job guys
I literally skip the episode where David is not here .-.
This podcast feels like a few of my friends just buying the tech they're curious about and talking about it honestly
man, Andrew saving Astro made me laugh so hard hahaha
My favorite moment also, especially how funny David found it
I actually genuinely look forward to this podcast every week.
Same especially now in AI era
this and wan show are >>>>>>>>>>
Wan show is trash

@@theglowcloud2215 Are you AI-generated? Is the world real?
We need a segment where they discuss everything that changed from the previous episode.

A cup of coffee and WaveForm on every Friday evening has become a tradition for me. Great consistent content.
Its how I start my workday Fridays.
Evenings damn
Astro sounds exactly like a cat. Seriously, relisten to this imagining it as a cat and it's bang on
I love how astro has lowkey become a goofy little tech doggo that's just doing his best.
While stalking you for amazon
DAVID DESERVED THAT POINT, the strict adherence to the timer isn't called for here because Ellis was talking!
6PM over here. What a way to lay back and relax in the evening. Love the timing on the uploads.
Girl same. Especially corrections
London?

Best podcast going... hands down!
Best tech podcast out right now ✌️
Andrew said, "Tim Cook has it", during the Twitter segment and I paused and thought, "Does he mean Tim Apple?" and then realized the internet has ruined my mind far more than I initially thought.
For the people in USA, the VW Polo is about the same size as the 5 door mini cooper (not the suv one, the 5 door hatch)
Cant believe they talked about how cute the robot is but then absolutely dunked on him at the same time.
Anyone else notice the dead pixel line on Ellis' and Adam's camera about 20 minutes in? It's right next to the mic. Might also just be an exporting artifact.
Was waiting for Astro to kick the door down and stride confidently into the pod room.
1:17:40 Isn't the Microsoft Hololens an enterprise AR headset?
Just asked bing to break down the ARC test and part of the response was 'the results of the test are not publicly available yet, but OpenAI said that they will share them in a future blog post'. Not sure that will happen any time soon.
7:11 - "Miles, I missed you." - I almost spat my coffee out when he made that joke LOL, gotta love Astro
The tech commentary on this comedy podcast is also great!
The Volkswagen Polo is awesome for the size guys!! And the 2022+ GTI version is pure gold
It's crazy that you've never heard of the VW Polo , in Europe and north Africa that car is literally EVERYWHERE

Is there a thin black vertical line on the production camera view for anyone else?
i shed a tear when Marques asked "so... electrical transformers?" and no one acknowledged it cuz i thought the same joke
The Polo was actually a rebadged Audi 50, of which only one is said to have been officially imported to the US back in the 70s.
1:10:52 yes, david you did it !

VW polos are very popular in UK/ Europe, I have one myself. Everything really must be bigger in America
The dope tech video and the recap here are both very fun. Hope to see more of those!
Absolutely love this Podcasts because very good for Adults and kids.Funny, knowledgeable and just nice to see the Fur Babies too. Thanks so much.✌️💯
Astro would seem to be one of Amazom's R&D tax-deductible line items (this is why Amazom pays zero tax in so many territories because P&L)
How do ya feel about the new fed now payment system coming out this year in July I think ? I haven't hurd ya talk about it or maybe I missed that ep.
I thankful for AI for making people fact check the info they get from internet
Lmao David deserves that point

Like those lights during the quiz jingle. Nice.
Polo has been a famous sub 4 metre car in Indian automobile market especially for it’s performance. Sadly, it has been discontinued by VW in India.
funny thing is, here in germany, you see about as many polos as you do golfs (maybe more like 35:65). It is wild to me, that y‘all know the golf so well but have never heard of the polo :O😅
Well, there are a few enterprise-ready AR solutions out there that are certified and being used, e.g. Microsoft Hololens 2. How can you not know that?
Ya'll never heard of a VW Polo, WOW!!! As a South African I'm actually shocked 😂
European ass here. I’m shocked as well. It’s like they never hear of water lmao
Right there with you. Lol!
This was a reminder that cars a region locked as well. 😂 Just like phones.
Andrew's jumper is Dope Tech
I EXPECT to see david go get coffee and do all of those things at once,

in the points UI for trivia, david's arrow is off and I think Marques's number too.
Another banger episode today. Keep it up guys
53:00 for some reason, I only see fights in my "For You" feed
I can't believe I got the transformer question right! Yay me. 1 out of 20 is good, right??! LOL. Great episode. Thanks guys!

“Would you split the cost of $1600 among your entire office staff to have an office mascot/pet at your place of work?”

They had the new Google Glass prototype last I/O. Do you think we will see any news in I/O regarding it?
There needs to be a special section in every episode for crazy things happening at twitter
I’m surprised people in America don’t know what a polo is , here in Asia , that’s considered a reasonably sized hatchback lol
