This 10th year of Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners. Thanks to all of you, including Logan Larson, Mike Aikens, Norm Fasikus and Marlon Thompson.  This is the Daily Tech News for Friday, August 25th, 2023 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Falafel, I'm Sarah Lane. And back in the house, your boy, Chris Ashley. Drawing the top tech stories from Cleveland. I'm Len Peralta. And this shows producer Roger Chang. And just to clarify, I am also Tom Merritt when I'm not in Los Angeles. And Len is drawing the top tech stories and he's in Cleveland. They're not the top Cleveland tech stories necessary. That's always very confusing. So yeah, yeah. So. All right, Chris Ashley. I'm Studio Falafel. Thank you. Thank you. Your studio, there's nothing wrong with your studio. That's a good studio. Right. That's right. This is going to be a late lunch. Chris Ashley, you a Falafel fan? I get periodically not my 100 percent go to. But I have one, you know, if it's there, if it's there, may partake. Yeah. All right. Nibble, Nibble. Yeah, just reach, reach right through that stream yard window into Sarah's studio and have a bite. Let's start off with the quick hits. AMD announced the four hundred forty nine dollar Rx seventy seven hundred XT and five hundred dollar seventy eight hundred XT, both initially coming with a free copy of Starfield. Both cards also average more than 60 frames per second at up to 1440 P resolution without upscaling. And AMD claims that the seventy eight hundred XT outperforms the six hundred dollar RTX forty seventy. So, you know, you're getting more for less. The designs are larger, taking up two point five slots with in a desktop and use up to two hundred sixty five watts of power. AMD also announced its latest upscaling tech uses FSR three, which will add frame generation, which uses machine learning to create frames for more sophisticated motion smoothing. Nvidia added this to DLSS three point. Oh, speaking of DLSS, there's some chatter out there that AMD's Frank Axor is not denying that there's something in the contract with Starfield that prevents it from supporting DLSS. He has somewhat carefully said, quote, if they want to do DLSS, they have AMD's full support and, quote, the new two AMD GPUs and FSR three will all launch together on September 6th. MSI confirmed that the recent spate of blue screens of death. You pluralize that like attorneys general, I guess, blue screens of death. Anyway, if you're getting a blue screen of death because you installed this week's Windows 11 preview update, it's probably because you have an MSI six hundred or seven hundred series motherboard. MSI wrote both MSI and Microsoft are aware of the unsupported processor error and have begun investigating the root cause. Now, MSI basically warns its users if you haven't installed this preview, which you don't need to don't until they get an update. If you have already, they've got instructions on how you can roll back the BIOS and then uninstall the update. However, Microsoft notes that some users may experience Windows automatically uninstalling the updates on its own after experiencing a blue screen of death, which is kind of a cool thing. And several users have confirmed that that indeed has happened to them. Cool. The US view on cryptocurrency a little clearer today, although it's not going to make everybody very happy. The US Treasury Department proposed new rules on Friday to make it harder to avoid income taxes if you're selling digital assets, but also to simplify those taxes. The proposed rules would have exchanges such as Coinbase deal with the IRS in a manner similar to a broker who handles stocks or mutual funds. So starting in 2026, exchanges would send 1099s to taxpayers and also the IRS reporting how much customers paid for assets versus how much they were sold for. Federal taxes would be assessed up to 23.8 percent. That's a lot. Scientific Kings College, London, tested eight popular pedestrian detection systems used by autonomous cars. They used more than 8000 images of pedestrians in the tests. So they were using images, not real life situations. They found that pedestrian detection accuracy was 20 percent higher for adults than it was for children. And it was also 7.5 percent more accurate for light-skinned pedestrians than dark-skinned pedestrians. The accuracy in both cases dropped under low contrast and low brightness tests. Paper has been published as a preprint. It has not been peer reviewed, but you can find it at archive.org with an X that archive. Alibaba launched two new artificial intelligence models, Q1, that's Q-W-E-N-V-L, and Q1-V-L-CHAT designed to make sense of images and also carry out more complex conversations. Q1-V-L can respond to open-ended queries based on images and then generate picture captions. Q1-V-L-CHAT handles more complex interaction, such as comparing multiple image inputs and then answering multiple rounds of questions. Alibaba's new models will be open source and invites researchers, academics, and companies worldwide to create their own AI apps without needing to train their own systems. All right, everybody wants a little PC, ESPN, apparently, these days. What's been going on, Sarah? Well, so Disney's Bob Iger, head of Disney, he's a talker. He says a lot of things. He raised a few eyebrows recently when he said that the company was looking for strategic partners for ESPN. Since that's often sort of code for we want to sell it or sell a part of this property. But it appears what he wants to do is keep ESPN, but sell off or at least contract out part of the distribution business, especially broadcasting cable, because neither of those are growing. He's also said Disney's been working on a streaming only version of the full ESPN experience.  ESPN plus exists, it's a streaming service, but it only gives you broadcast that aren't on ESPN's cable channels, so this would be different. All right, all of that is background to the information reporting that Amazon is in talks with Disney to team up on the ESPN streaming service. And Amazon might even buy a 30 percent minority stake in ESPN. If you don't know, Disney actually only owns 80 percent of ESPN. Hurst owns the other 20 percent. So it wouldn't be unprecedented for a minority stake to be sold. And of course, if they were to team up in any way, ESPN streaming service would be offered through Prime Video once they get that full ESPN streaming service. Sources say the price on ESPN on its own would be expensive. Somewhere between twenty and thirty five dollars a month. Most of this is not surprising. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Verizon and T-Mobile are all rumored to be in talks about ESPN in some way or another. And Disney would like to distribute an ESPN streaming service as widely as possible. In fact, Wedbush Securities Analyst Dan Ives has convinced Disney's going to sell ESPN, not to Amazon, though, but to Apple. So it is now the hot commodity. What's going to happen with ESPN? Is Disney going to sell some of it, all of it, part of it, none of it? Chris, what are your ideas about ESPN's future? Well, I could see them selling all of it. But overall, I find this to be totally silly on the part of Amazon and the rest of these companies, for that matter. And the reason why is, you know, new media is really stepping up. I mean, I haven't watched ESPN in probably the better part of five years. I just don't I don't like anything about them anymore. And, you know, Pat, they fired about 10, 15 hosts just over the last two months. Then they bring in Pat McAfee for 80 million dollars. And how did Pat McAfee get popular by his new media show that they bought into? They could have got Shannon Sharp. They could have got the the two cats from the do the basketball one. They should have used this as an opportunity to build up or invest in in the new media style, because all of these shows and all these former athletes are super popular. And they could have bought a bunch of them together and made their own little ESPN, if they will. Why are they buying into this? I don't know.  And I get your points at the same time. It's like there is only one sports center. I watch that thing all the time. It's it's this is a this is a very valuable product. Yeah, I say, yeah, I can definitely see that, you know, ESPN and Sports Center, the name of it, you know, definitely has some value to it. But if you're spending all this money, I would assume you'd be looking to look towards the future. And how long is ESPN and Sports Center going to be valuable? Verse, what is worth of them today? When there is a game you want to watch and it's on ESPN. Chris, what do you do? I don't watch it. Seriously, I'm being dead serious. I rarely I don't watch a lot of football anymore. In fact, I was just talking about on the show. That's more this week, how I had to repurchase who lives so my wife could watch NFL because I stopped watching as much. And it just I just don't really watch ESPN. I don't watch a lot of sports anymore. OK, OK. And but I do listen to I watch clips on YouTube. No doubt about it. I watch highlights. I love boxing highlights. I love I even love I still love football highlights. Watching the whole game, not as appealing, even though the commanders did reach out to me to get season tickets again. But I don't understand like to me, this is a perfect opportunity because ESPN is definitely losing viewers. This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of where people are shifting their attention to. So my point was going to be, and I think it still is, that the valuable stuff on ESPN is the sports, the sports itself, the games. And I think that's what Iger is seeing is like we will have we have the games. We have the NBA, we have the NHL, we have Major League Baseball, we have Monday Night Football, like that's the valuable part. And how do we capitalize on that? Granted, Sarah, you're absolutely right. Sports Center is also incredibly valuable. It's it's a heritage brand and everything. But all of the rest of it is kind of is kind of interchangeable. And so the streaming service value is I could pay twenty dollars, thirty five dollars a month and get all those games. ESPN has the rights to a lot of the best sports on television. And I feel like that's what's important about it. Oh, the other hand, Chris, you're not alone in being a someone who just is like, oh, no, I watch sports by watching the highlights. Yeah, on YouTube later. And I think they need to take that into account. Let's all be honest. That's that's what we all want. Yeah, like that's kind of one moment that everybody else already saw. I want to see it. You know, the red, the red zone. The red zone channel from Direct TV was absolutely genius, especially at the height of fantasy sports. Just clicking over to the team that's about to score constantly. That kind of begun for me, the more enjoying like the highlight part of it, versus just having to sit back and watch an entire game. Yeah. And you can keep naming sports. I named the biggest ones, but there's other sports that people care about that ESPN has. I think they are going to make sure that they they protect those rights because those are what's valuable. Sure. I think if they're smart, they would get in on that highlight real stuff and start locking that down too and make that part of this offering as well. I miss bowling. Well, the next time you have a bowling party at your house, Chris, you might have a mess to clean up afterwards. Goobles in their house, right? Switchbot has introduced an autonomous vacuum slash mopper called the Switchbot S10. If you're saying, all right, well, what does it do? It's battery powered. Also has a water station connecting to your in-house plumbing. So maybe it would be next to a sink or a washer and dryer that you have in your house. So the robot can drain the dirty water and then refill with clean water autonomously. That's the idea anyway. When S10 docks with the water tank, it also charges the water stations batteries from its own. The charging dock is sold separately, but can also dry a mop as well. So it's not necessarily just everything that has to be wet, but that's sort of the selling point. It also empties dust into the charging dock. So Switchbot says you need to empty the docks dust bin around every 70 days. And you might say, oh, that's not that often. It's kind of often. So it's something that you definitely have to be thinking about as you're thinking about getting this product. Switchbot is also showing off a humidifier that can automatically refill a dehumidifier. If you live in a humid place that the S10 vacuum could also empty. So there's some options there. Now, you might say, OK, but how much I'm interested? All these products are going to be shown off at IFA in Berlin next week. The event runs from between September 1st through the 5th. We'll probably get price and availability at that point. The verge that took a spin with the Switchbot S10 said, this is probably going to be a upwards of $1,000 or more product. Makes sense. Kind of a big deal, yeah. You've got the battery dock, which it's not sold separately. It's just separate from the water dock. So they don't have to be next to each other. And then you have the bot itself, right? So you've got there's a lot. There's a lot of parts there. It's it's good and pricey. Well, and before the show, both Tom and Chris, you were saying like that just wouldn't work with my laundry room. They were either like they're down some stairs or it's just otherwise not accessible. I mean, I think a lot of your home layout will have a lot to do with whether or not this is a great product for you or just something that is expensive and won't work. 100 percent.  I just can't pull the trigger on it. It's so expensive and, you know, I rather hire a clean lady than, you know, drop that loot, but I want one. And then eventually I will get one. And I love the idea of this thing because it solves a problem. Right? If you have something that's automated, the less you have to interact with it, the better automation it is. But it's just not practical, especially in any house that I can think of, unless you live like in a rambler or something.  It ain't climbing the stairs that come up to the middle floor, which is where I mainly want to use it and where my kitchen is. Also, I do want to move my washer and dryer, but I don't want to move it to the middle floor. I want to move it to the top floor where the bedrooms are. So we never have to lug laundry again, not, you know, not going to solve a problem for me there. The other thing I'm thinking of is like who whose house layout really is has an option to not only plug in the water spout to it, but then you figure drains go down, not up. So now you need a drain that's actually going downwards unless it has a pump to pump through the drain.   That's that's the way it looks in that kitchen thing. So you're you're plugging it into the drain the way a dishwasher would plug into the horizontally, I guess. Yeah. OK.  They show a version of a sink where somebody doesn't have a cabinet under the sink. And I'm like, how many people how many people do that?  And I'm like, that's a non-starter. I'm not going to happen all the time. Exactly. I'm with you, man. I I love this idea of like, oh, I don't have to ever refill a tank. It just automatically gets the water. But I don't need to almost rather go through the trouble of running piping to it where I want it to be rather than trying to jimmy it in by the dishwasher or the sink. Hundred percent. If I was to do something like that, I would definitely have to run some plumbing to it. And, you know, and it would not. And the spot it would have in my house, at least I would have to put it. It wouldn't be an easy run, you know, it's like down in the corner. Because you want the idea of these things are to be out of the way, right? When it's not in use and then it can sneak out, you know, at night and do its thing. And then, of course, it has to maneuver itself around my dog, as well as the groceries. I understand. I mean, as a person who I I still use my room, but that I reviewed for live with it years ago, love that thing. But it also it requires a lot of foresight, right? It's like, how long am I going to be gone?  You know, you're introducing water into all of this.  You know, for something like this, it all is a great idea in theory for the right layout, right? Yeah. Yeah. And if you if you're someone who doesn't have cabinets under your kitchen sink or keep anything else there, there's no trash can. There's no boxes. No, so it's. Yeah. Just nothing. I've never thought of putting anything there. This is going to work great for you then. Oh, great point. We can build a house around the vacuum. And I do think it's smart that the battery charger and the vacuum are separated. Like it goes to the water pump. It charges the water pump so you don't have to keep it charged. There's a lot that's elegant about this. We should we should give a credit for that. Sure. The fact that it dries the mop for you at the battery charger station. That's there's there's some good stuff in here. It's definitely we're all we're all getting stuck on like, OK, but how am I really going to hook this up with the water? My current layout won't support this. I hate it to be fair. You don't have to hook it up. You can just fill it up on your own. So we should mention that. You could do that. Yeah, then it's just like a bunch. There's a bunch of other things that do that. So then it's a lot of thing. A lot of things that people don't necessarily get about autonomous cleaning products is like you can do a lot of manual things. And this can still be something that is great for your overall, you know, cleanliness of the house. This is just maintenance cleaning. Not yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, folks, real quickly, I want to remind you that we have a show on our YouTube channel called Top Five, Tom's Top Five, because it's me telling you five things that Roger and I put together every week. This week, surprising projects that Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak did that weren't Apple. We all know they did Apple and they did things together at Apple. But they did things together that were not Apple. And of course, some things independently of each other that are significant as well. And we count down five of them. You can go catch that right now at youtube.com slash daily tech news show. TechCrunch has an article up today discussing the impact of the breach of the Movit file transfer software. We have not covered this a lot. We've mentioned it here and there. The numbers are big. More than a thousand companies affected at this point impacting more than 60 million user accounts. Bleeping Computer had an article Wednesday this week focusing on what happened, what data was accessed. So we thought we'd take this Friday to kind of give you the the thousand foot view of what is going on with Movit. Movit is a corporate file transfer tool from progress software. So they provide the tool that lets corporations manage moving files, which, you know, if you're an individual, you're like, why do I need a big tool for that? If you're an enterprise and you got lots of files, this is a good thing. However, it is managed by progress software, which, as you'll see, is part of the problem. On June 6th, a ransomware group claimed responsibility for a breach of the tool that had apparently been going on since May. The group said it discovered a vulnerability and was able to access IT environments and sensitive data at companies that used Movit. So they weren't doing the ransomware thing where they locked down and encrypt a system, they were doing the ransomware thing where they say, we stole your data and we'll publish it on the Internet if you don't pay us. The data appears to be personal info about employees and customers. It's unclear what exactly they have. Obviously, things like email addresses, maybe postal addresses, possibly social security numbers or other government ID numbers. It's hard to tell. The vulnerability itself is what's called a supply chain attack. This is what I was referring to earlier, that the problem is that it's managed by a company. So what happens in a supply chain attack is you breach the code in the software that's supplied to the clients and then you can exploit all the clients. You only have to breach once because it's getting supplied to everybody. For example, in this breach, zealous is a payroll provider. The attack on Movit allowed the attackers to access zealous, which allowed access to zealous's customers payroll info. This particular vulnerability was a zero day as well, meaning it was not previously known. And so it wasn't, oh, people should have patched. Nobody was aware of this until it started being exploited. And it appears the attackers knew about the vulnerability as far back as 2021, but did not exploit it in a noticeable way until this year. It was a sequel injection. If you know what that is, basically, it's a way to inject data into a database request that then causes unplanned behavior, which can be exploited for the unauthorized access. In this case, the attackers installed a backdoor in Movit that let them download data from Movit's clients. All right, so we know how it was done. We know what it was. We know it's had a wide impact. Here's my question for the panel. This is a large attack, but I see a lot of hair on fire headlines saying it's the worst attack ever. And I'm not sure how bad it is. I'm not saying it isn't bad, but we don't really know what data is out there. I can't find a clear idea of that. And it does not appear that the attackers have revealed any of the data. So, Chris, how do we assess this? Do you think that's why it's perceived as perhaps the worst one ever? Because everyone's going, we just don't know. So I think it's the the well, first of all, we always like to say every breach is the worst one ever because that's right. But but also it's a large 60 million user counts. That that's a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I think that the headlines are probably over overzealous because they have no idea what was actually taken. But that doesn't mean that the headline is incorrect. And so as a guy who professionally works with software, you know, this attacks like these have do definitely have reverberating effects. So more and more as we go through and we, you know, we try to sell software to companies and stuff like that, we're starting to get questioned more on what is our pen testing plans? What is the we have to actually share the results of those pen tests? A lot of times, what is the scheduling for these? And so you typically, when we started out these type of things, we would do it against certain pieces of software. But now you're going to really have to start testing it against all your software. So imagine now if your costs are going up because you need a team that's managing these things and then can present this type of information in white papers or whatever to custom to people. And then on top of that, it takes time to run these things. And then, you know, if you're holding up a release because something didn't pass or you have to come up with a workaround or or basically a time frame as to OK, this is not as important, but we have to let people know that this exists. So I think this is going to as these things continue to happen, you're definitely going to have to cost are going to go up for people. And then on top of that, you also start to look at it from this is from a professional standpoint that we're having these questions. But some of these companies like Dropbox or whatever were affected by this, too. So now we're talking about consumers and are these guys are now going to have to be expected to start working the chain and understanding. OK, who does this company use for to provide their services to me because, yeah, Dropbox does this, but are they using Azure for storage and are they doing all these things? And no, there's no way that that's going to happen. So I think this definitely has a massive effect. And it is and it's going to be a problem because now you start digging into the trust of these organizations. And, you know, does this then impact a lot of people's move or trust in cloud operated applications? So this is still pretty big. Yeah, no, that's a good that's a good explanation. That kind of clears it up for me to think like, OK, it's a red alert. We may not know how deep the red is, but it's a red alert. Like, even if it's just emails and and and and home and mailing address, the the scope of it is so big that it's going to be costly. And as you pointed out, Sarah, it could be worse. There could be other things in there that we're unaware of. I do wonder how much bluffing is going on since they they've passed several deadlines of if you don't pay us by now, we're going to publish it and have published it. So yeah, there could be a bit of that, right? But but still, even with the threat of the attack, right?  So even if they're bluffing, it still makes people have to work a lot more diligently to prepare for the next attack. So in the case that they're not bluffing, you know what I mean? So it still has an impact no matter what. Well, Bleeping Computer had a really good article going into the like, you know, you need to move to zero trust. Here are the things you do if you are in a company situation. Go go check that out. We have a link to it or you can just go to BleepingComputer.com. Yeah, definitely more companies are doing that too. All right. Well, I think it is time to see what Len Peralta has been drawing for us today. On the show, Len, what's what's at the tip of your pen? Well, you know, one of the great things about working on DTNS is sometimes I get to put two stories together. It's sort of like the Reese's Reese's peanut butter cup of art. So my question is, what if the S10, I'm trying to remember the name, the switchbot S10 and mixed with the move it, what would happen? And I think you got your switchbot in my move it. You get this, right? This is the move it bot 10, the personal data quicker sucker upper. Oh, my God. It's it's kind of going around just grabbing pin numbers and passwords and bank info and private picks and all that stuff. This is as it is the most trusted bot and exploiting your clients vulnerabilities. Absolutely genius. Absolutely genius. Thank you. The move it. Supply chain bot sucker that you don't have to recharge. Yeah. So if you're into like if you like these mashups and everything else, and if you want to see if you want to get this for yourself, you can get it right now at my patreon, patreon.com.

I am very happy to have Chris Ashley on the show as well, not only because there's an apron for barbecue and tech in his background that I would like to purchase for myself. But Chris, let folks know where they can keep up with everything that you do because you're a busy guy. I am, but you can always catch me and the homies on SMR podcast. And today release season five of barbecue and tech episode one, where we did a smoke meatball experiment that is meatballs right off my smoker. They were delicious. And yeah, we have got some really cool interviews lined up for this season. And yeah, some really cool experiments and testing some equipment that we're going to be messing around with. So yeah, come check us out. Always a great listen. I was so happy to have that in my ears this morning. So I'm very excited, barbecue and tech is back. Go check it out, folks. Patrons of DTNS stick around. We have more show for you. Good day. Internet begins right now. And it's the premiere on Friday of GDI debates. We're going to talk, take on the great questions of the day and debate their merits like boneless wings. Are they just chicken nuggets? That is our first question. Stick around when we debate it next. Just a reminder that DTNS itself is live Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. Eastern at 20 hundred UTC. We do it Monday through Friday, y'all.

Right, so what is a share of Snapchat? It's a belief. Doesn't have earnings. It doesn't have dividends. And a token is a belief. Right. But the trend is securing something. So some people refer to sort of Bitcoin as digital gold. You know, and in that sense, like gold is a commodity, but is the root of securities. You know, whether it's gold ETFs or something, because you perceive a limited supply, you perceive a storage of value. So that is where I think Bitcoin sits. But then I think this whole other category of utility tokens that may be considered security tokens by definition of law, that resembles the petrodollar. And as we were talking about earlier, you know, gold used to represent, or a dollar used to represent a share of gold, but it didn't anymore. So what was underpinning it? It was basically, in my opinion, the ability for that token to have utility as an instrument to purchase oil for your energy security. And so I think that's kind of where the utility tokens are today.

Hello, beautiful souls. I want to share today some downloads I received around the total solar eclipse on August 8th. So this energy update is going to cover mainly that we're also going to be looking a little bit more at the general energies of April 2024. And before I dive into this, I just want to share that there has been just more massive resistance to getting this information out and anything. Anything related to it that I have ever encountered before there's been like, I was trying to get this other video out before this and it just would not upload. It was like two days and and so forth. And I finally got the messages like this is just a delay to what really needs to be said. And so that's why I'm going live here. So hopefully this will actually get out there. So before I go into the nitty-gritty details, I think I just want to bomb you with kind of the big picture of what I'm receiving about this eclipse is that if you superimpose the life of Christ, I'm going to be using some some Christian symbology. I don't want that to put anybody off because I'm looking at this from a metaphysical standpoint and looking at the big energies. And over the past few years, I've keep being shown that the Christian story, the Christian myth, the life of Jesus is very significant as a blueprint for human ascension and planetary ascension. So I personally have had some baggage around Christianity. If that is you as well, I really encourage you to drop it because, you know, just for just take what is meaningful to you out of this. And I'm not meaning to bash Christianity at all either. I but this is really, I think it is very appointed thing to that has a lot of wisdom to point to what's going on here with human ascension. And with this eclipse also in particular. Okay, so the so basically what this eclipse is is if you superimpose the life of Christ over the whole planetary ascension timeline, this eclipse corresponds to the crucifixion. Okay, so this is a symbolic almost ritual crucifixion that we're about to enter into this this time period. Okay, and that will have repercussions for humanity going forward after that. But we'll address that later on in this talk and and what we can do to prepare for this and how we can really prepare ourselves spiritually as well as physically so. All right, so I'm going to look at kind of the eclipse happens on April 8. Right. And this is a total solar eclipse. Everything is going to go dark for a big swath right through North America. And but I want to point out that it's not just that it's a great big huge solar eclipse that's not going to happen again for for years and years. But there's so many astrological things happening around and related to this eclipse that I want to just briefly go over those because I feel like these all point to very they all have very similar energies around them. Okay, and so going back to February, we in February 2024 here, and I went into this pretty in depth in my February energy update, but we had the North node conjunct Kyron, and the symbol would be this one here. And what that is is the wounded healer is Kyron and conjunct the North node. The North node is like our destiny right or our purpose or our kind of moving forward into our higher purpose. And so what that did was kind of opened up this whole eclipse timeline this whole eclipse season with this kind of flushing up of old wounds so that they can be healed and really so that we can step into our purpose. And it felt to me like super significant at the time. And it still does. Okay, so that was kind of entering this whole eclipse timeline in February. In March, we had a lunar eclipse that felt like there was a lot of power around that I won't go into it here you can watch my March video if you'd like a little bit more insight into that. But now moving into this window of the eclipse, which we're in this week right now, we just had Mercury go into retrograde, which is throwing a lot of communication stuff into it.  It's a blocking out of the energy of the sun. And so there, it does have a lot to do with hidden energies and things being blocked. Okay. So I'm feeling this in spades, not everybody is and if it's not affecting you that's awesome. And but if it is, just know that this is a very, very intense energy that we're dealing with right now. Another couple of things happening. There is a comet that is called what ponds, I can't remember the comet 12p ponds Brooks, and it's known for having these little horned appearances on it as it gets closer to earth. And it's been called the devil's comet. I feel like, well, you know, you can read into that anything that you want but that comets are usually considered a symbol of impending change or transformation. Eclipses also have this association with change transformation. So this is clearly a very, the comet appearing in the sky at the same time it just really shows the depth and the power of this particular eclipse. And then there's one more, one more astrological event that's very, very significant happening later this April on April 20. And that is Jupiter, the planet Jupiter, conjuncting the planets Uranus. So that is also associated with change transformation and the growth and awakening of human consciousness. It also has a connection with the values of freedom versus totalitarianism. All right, so there's those energies going on and that's going to really play into these eclipse energies in a really big way. So a couple of things that I wanted to bring up and, you know, I was just, I was just guided to do this live stream right away just get this out. So I'm not completely, I'm hoping that I can get everything out there that wants to be said. But, oh, another, just another thing I'd like to share is that back in December, I have a group as part of the ministry, I do twice monthly gatherings. Which is free to whoever is feeling pulled to join us. But we did a group oracle reading for the year of 2024 and the person who pulled the card for April pulled the tower card. And I feel like, you know, I wasn't quite aware at the time of all the stuff that was going to come down and come to a head in April. But now that I look back at it, it's like, well, this card is really, really reflecting all the energies that we're seeing in the astrology and what's happening here. And the, but the interesting thing about it was, it's, you know, the tower card isn't always isn't is not meant to be negative. It's meant to be a radical change and transformation and it can actually be what triggers a beautiful new growth. Okay. But the particular deck that was used was, I think it's called, not sure, it was like some kind of nature, nature tarot. And it's actually, I don't know if you can see it, but it's full of butterflies. And so I'm feeling that this, we need to really, really be aware of that this is a positive change. Okay. This is a positive change. But it may not feel like that. Right. So it's really, really important to hold the big picture in mind. Okay. And so this is also what I was told when I felt into the energies of the eclipse and asked for Akasha guidance around that first thing they showed me was this figure with two faces, one facing forward and the other behind. I have a feeling that it probably has something to do with Janus, the Roman God of beginnings and transitions. It's also a God of war and peace. Okay. And so the message that I got was to navigate this time portal. It's important to have an accurate understanding of origins, where we're coming from. And also of our intended destination, where we're going. Okay. So when these are accurate in our vision, then we can use the power of this time portal to amplify or consolidate our personal power. Okay. And our collective power because it operates on both levels. Right. So we can open a portal of power. I was told to open a portal of power within our hearts and within our mind and which energetically will help us to step into a higher level of consciousness. And they said this is done by going within. Okay. They say the key word is to consolidate, meaning that we're bringing all existing timelines to center into the heart and blessing them with our hearts pouring blessings on all time space. And what they told me was that this was indicated the center of the cross. Right. So part of what's happening with the eclipse is that we're being encouraged. You know, with the darkening of the sun, the sun represents light, represents creator, right. The whole creator and everything that is good. But when we darken that, we have no choice but to go within and find the light within. Okay. And so this is something that I think is usually taught by very, very traditional societies, indigenous societies is not to go out in an eclipse and look at it, but actually to go within to pray and to, you know, look to that light within and to sustain because what we're doing here is bridging. This is a an incredibly pivotal moment because what this is in actuality is like this gap between dimensions. Okay, that we as a collective humanity as a whole, the earth has been trucking along in this 3D kind of state of consciousness. And where this eclipse is going to, what this eclipse is going to trigger is a massive awakening into the fourth dimension. Okay, now we know we're ultimately headed way up into the fifth dimension into new earth, but we've got the whole fourth dimension to traverse. Okay. And there's not time to go into all of it here, but I'm going to encourage you if you want to learn more about this. I have a link in the description box below to an event called the New Earth, Elders of the New Earth Symposium. It's happening next week. It's free. You can just sign up and you'll get videos from a number of people talking about new earth energies. I will be speaking in that on human evolution and AI and I go in quite into detail into how all this connects with the planetary timeline. Okay. But basically, we are right now at this transition point. Many of us have been through this or are going through this individually, this opening up into the fourth dimension. But we're going to see this massive, massive awakening into that. And it's going to trigger a lot of chaos, right? If you've ever been through a dark night of the soul yourself, that's what we're heading into on a collective level. And I'm not saying this to scare anybody, but to prepare us. Okay. Because we can prepare for it and the more that we're aware of it, aware of what's going on and keeping that big picture in mind, the better is it's going to be, we're going to be able to hold our energy and be stay grounded and help those around us to realize what's happening, right? So, okay. They told me some information about the cross and the symbol of the cross, which I think I'm going to leave for another video. But I think what's important to remember right now is that we're being encouraged to go within during this Eclipse season to really enter into the heart and to invite a lot, a lot of light into our hearts, into our minds. There are three energy centers, heart, mind and the gut, right? All of which, you know, we use all of these, but we're really being encouraged now to move more and more into the heart and make the heart the ruler or the king or the sovereign over, you know, all the rest of us, okay? And so this particular eclipse and this time, this whole week that we're in is a beautiful time to bring a lot of light into the heart and to really go into that heart center because it will prepare us and prime us for everything that's ahead. We're going to be asked to be, to take on the spirit of the sun, okay? And the sun spirit is basically it's Christ consciousness, Buddha consciousness, Krishna consciousness. Every tradition has a symbol like this, right? And it's talking about that life energy, the light energy that we can really, as we move up and descend, that's what we actually bring into our hearts and take on. I would like to invite you to an event this coming Sunday, April 7th, which is a guided meditation event that I will be giving to anyone who signs up on my email list. And we do, I offer twice monthly gatherings, but this one especially is the day before the eclipse. And it's meant to prepare us to help to prime these energy centers and to really bring light into our bodies, into our minds, into our hearts, okay? And doing that as a ritual with others is going to really amplify the power of that. So, oh, and then the other thing that I really wanted to mention is that all these things, right? The Jupiter conjunct Uranus, the Kyron conjunct the North Node, the solar eclipse itself. One of the biggest, probably the prime thing that we're dealing with here is going to be the issue of sovereignty, right? It is which means coming into your own power, connecting and becoming one with your own Christ consciousness, right?  Because as individuals, we can come together and as long as we don't lose our own individuality, when individuals who are really fully in their own truth come together, then their energies combine to create something incredible, right? Something far greater than the sum of its parts, right? So sovereignty is going to be a key, key, key issue going forward in the days, weeks, months, years, and maybe even decades and centuries going forward. So as we move through this 4D time period, it's going to revolve a lot about issues of sovereignty and control. Are you going to be looking within for control or are you going to be controlled from without, okay? And these are really basic things, but they're going to show up everywhere, right? They're going to show up in our governments. They're going to show up in the way we interact with social media. They're going to show up with AI. They're going to show up in our relationships and in our relationship with the Earth and all sorts of things, right? So it's really, really, really critical that we mind our boundaries, right? And that we really seek the truth within ourselves. And this is the principle of free will choice. And it's very central to navigating the fourth dimension, okay? And then one last word that I wanted to speak and it's somewhat a warning, but it's also kind of an encouragement is that things may get very, very chaotic. I'm looking forward, you know, this year and for the next few years. So it's really, really important to, first of all, have some ritual that you can use to ground yourself, right? Have that spiritual, you know, routine to help yourself stay grounded, stay centered and stay connected with your inner self, with your higher source of power, right? That's A number one. Number two is as much as you can connect with your neighbors in ways that are mutually supportive of getting to know your neighbors, whether that's neighbors in a metaphorical sense, right? Your soul tribe, which could be anywhere on the Earth, but also your physical next door neighbors, right, in your local area. People are going to need to start coming together and supporting each other because things are going to get rough. But when we have that mutual support, that's how we get through it, all right? And as light workers, we're here really to shine that light from within because people may not see it. There may be people that just have a hard time seeing the light. So when we can really be that presence, even if you don't feel like you know what your purpose is, you have a beautiful light within you. And that's going to be such a blessing to everyone around you moving forward during these times, okay? And then also, again, back to this tarot card, we have the squirrel and she's sitting there looking at all this stuff going down, but she's got her nuts right there. And it's going to be very wise, I think, to if you haven't yet stored up some extra few months worth of food, water, any kind of emergency supplies. Hopefully we won't need those, but you never know, and it's really, really best to be prepared. Plus, if something does go down and you have some extra, and you know, that's another way we can be there for our neighbors and to help to build and create and maintain strong communities, because fourth dimension and the way we're traversing through this is all about finding our own sovereignty and then connecting with others so that we have strong communities. We're going, as we go through 4D, we're going to be building these heart connections with others, and that's what's going to pull us through this into 5D and the new earth that we're here to build and here to bring into the world, right? So, I just wish you all the best for this eclipse. Do enjoy the eclipse season, whether you choose to go out and see it or join me in just sitting inside and going within. Enjoy the season and focus on what we're building together. The beautiful new earth and the 5D world that we're here to create, keep that in mind as we move forward, that's what we're here for, that's what we're doing, and so it is, right? Take care and remember you were born to be free.


Good morning everyone. I'm Pooja Tripathi. I'm the senior PMT within Amazon. Alexa to be more specific and I'm here to talk about ML data labeling as a product too. So before we jump on what is ML data labeling as a product, I would first like to discuss about the impact of ML data labeling for ML modern development. So as we know that data labeling means that a human is looking at some data which would be fed to a model to train the model and the more accurately the human predicts that data or annotates or labels that data, the better will be the model accuracy because the model is actually getting trained on that label data. Therefore the quality of the label data is like one of the prime factors which determine how the quality of your ML development to an ML model would be and therefore it becomes imperative to improve the quality of data labeling when it comes to improving the accuracy of ML models. Now who when I think of data labeling or a product manager in the data labeling space, the first question which might come is who is the customer and the customer in this case definitely are the scientists or the modelers who are building models and who are sending you data to label it and your customers might also be finance partners who are actually looking at you to lower the cost of data labeling while you are maintaining the same quality for the scientists. So in my view those two become the primary customers of ML data labeling while there might be a lot of other stakeholders in this pipeline as well. Now the second question which comes is what is data labeling as a product and how to think about data labeling? So as any product manager would start off the first point is who is a customer and as we discussed the first customer is the scientist who are sending us data for labeling. When we think about the KPIs for the label data, cost of the label data is one of the many important KPIs which are PM or a product manager in the data labeling space controls. We cannot increase the cost of label data beyond a certain point because then it starts giving us limited ROI by the model as well as the data becomes more and more we actually want to train the model and more data and if the cost of label data is increasing then we cannot have more label data. The second thing is the quality of label data which is extremely important as I have discussed before as well. So the challenge here is maintaining a very high quality of label data while reducing the cost and that's the tension which any product manager in this space goes through. I being one of them. So now how do I actually think about loading the cost of label data? So when it comes to loading the cost of label data the way to think about it is who labels the data? It's humans. So the easiest thing is that sending this data to some countries where the cost of label might be cheaper and you can get that data annotated for a cheaper cost. Sounds easy but very difficult to implement because as you will start on it there will be a lot of issues. First there will be excellent issues if you're sending the data to the same speaking country. So example sending someone sending data from US for annotation in India that humans in India might understand English but there might be negativity issues. There might be excellent issues and therefore you will feel that the quality of the data label is actually lower. Second thing is the regulations themselves. There are a lot of regulations. GDPR being one of them which don't allow us to transfer data across regions. So both of these somehow will impede you from take sending the data to a lower cost or lower human capital country where the cost of labor is lower. So if that is the limiting factor then how do we still reduce the cost of data labeling? So there's another way and the other way is that we use some active learning models actually to find out what data actually needs to go to the model to improve its performance. Maybe previously we were using the model with 100 units of data but actually of those 100 units 80 are just repetitive units. We have already trained the model on that data before and we have seen that the model performs well and why to send those 80 units again for labeling and again train the model on it. Why not just send the 20 units to label the data to label it and that's where the active learning models come very handy and it's an industry practice now where modelers or scientists across geographies are actually first using active learning models to identify which subset of the data if the new model is trained on will give the maximum ROI and they only send that data for data labeling. Now there's a third approach as well here and the third approach is you can use existing ML models and even if they cannot do the entire data labeling that model can actually partially label the data that would help a lot in saving the time of humans to label the data. As an example if there is a model for which we need to train the data on two sets so first is was this utterance completed successfully and the second might be what was the user objective meant. If the model can actually predict the first part was this utterance completed successfully that actually saves a lot of time for the human because in the human only has to answer the second point and since it's ML data its quality will ML model its quality will continue to evolve better and better. So the best solution to lower the cost in the industry wide has been to use active learning or use existing ML models for partial labeling. Both of these solutions actually help you to reduce the cost of data labeling either by reducing the volume of data to be labeled or by partially labeling the data through ML. Now the third the second point is how to measure quality of label data and then if once you measure it how to improve upon it so measuring quality of label data is not straightforward. The best way to do that is you have humans who are annotating the data or labeling that data sending the same data or sending a subset of that data to SMEs or subject matter experts to annotate it as well and then see how many errors you identified in that subset between humans and the SMEs and based on that taking a call on how does the quality look like. So as an example if the human annotated 100 units we can take like three units of the data and send it to subject matter experts and then compare how does the quality of human who label the data versus SME look like. The more agreements are between the humans and the SMEs in this case if three is the if all three units labeled by the human match with SMEs then it's actually 100 percent quality. If only two match then 67 percent two by three and if one matches it's 33 percent and if no match happens it's actually 0 percent. This way we can definitely we can predict the quality of the of the subset and extrapolate it for the entire sample. It has one issue though. What if the SME is not an expert? There might be chances when the SME ended up labeling the data incorrectly. For such situations what we have to think is continuously auditing the data actually done by SME to ensure that there is no gap between SME label data so that we accurately predict the quality of humans. Once we are able to predict the quality of the data then the second effort is to improve that quality. Now to improve that quality the first part is it's human who is actually labeling the data for you so train the human more and more to label the data and how would you do it? Ideally the human is labeling the data based on some rules so simplifying those rules for the human making them as intuitive and as simple so that the mistakes done by the humans are less illness. Second auditing the quality of the data by humans on a daily basis and finding some trend errors. So suppose if I pooja I'm labeling a data and every day if somebody is auditing my quality and seeing that I'm making mistakes on similar type of data or similar type of mistakes I'm making then just hyper training me on those set of utterances or those set of data to improve the quality. That's another way a very well proven strategy to improve the quality of label data. And the third one is use ML models again. In this case the ML models actually help you product if the quality of label data is if the quality of the data labeled by one by the first human is good or bad. If the ML model says that the quality is not correct based on multiple parameters then read out that data and send it to another human or an SME for labeling. That way you can still control the quality although you're not controlling quality at the root of it because you are just correcting a defect in the system but still to the end user you're giving a quality data. So these are the three main levers used in the industry to actually improve the data labeling requirements or the data quality. That brings me to the end of this presentation. I'm happy to answer more questions if you have, feel free to reach out and with this I'm going to stop the presentation. Thank you.


And welcome to another episode of Frightfully Forgotten's Trash or Treasure. But before we get started, what are we drinking? Today we are drinking Lords of Death Hopped Rice Lager. Today we're going to bring to you 1988's Dead Heat, directed by Mark Goldblatt. And uh, he directed The Punisher with Dolph Lundgren. Oh yeah. That's right baby. He was the editor in tons of wicked movies. The Howling, Halloween 2, and then Terminator 1 and 2. Yeah.  Tons of stuff. Tons of Schwarzenegger movies. You had Commando? Yeah. And stars Treet Williams. What kind of name is that? Treet. Maybe it's supposed to be Tret. Tret? That makes sense. Give us some woman. Oh Treet! You're real Treet.  Is it safe? Joe Piscopo was in this, and he was in SNL for a good four years during the 80s. And he was also in one of the best martial arts movies of all time with Chuck Norris Sidekicks. Chuck Norris kicks.   The movie starts off with partners Roger Mortis and Doug Bigelow, and they're called to this jewelry heist, and they show the two thief guys, and they're all wearing like those SNL type of executioner. But they get to the jewelry store and they start smashing all the cases and everything and start intimidating all of the people who worked here. Come on, lady, give it up!   Up pulls the, like, almost the whole damn police force, and who's in charge, but Robert Picardo, who's the hologram doctor and voyager. He's also in the howling. Yeah, that's right.   He ends up just running right into another one. The woman at the morgue, she's like, well, these guys, they've already been here. These guys have already been sewn up. What made them come to life? So it's a drug that Dante Pharmaceuticals has created. So Doug and Roger go to check out the Dante Pharmaceuticals. They get introduced to Randy James, who kind of, like, oversees the running of this place, and she shows them around and shows them the decompression chamber. Doug kind of stumbles upon this room where there's this carcass unveils it, and it's this weird biker looking guy with, like, three faces kind of all melding together.  Bung, bung. Roger, like, he just shoots the front desk guy, and he gets thrown into that decompression chamber and accidentally gets, the button gets pressed, and he dies. The cops and Rebecca show up to the scene to find out that Roger is now dead. While investigating, they stumble upon this weird machine, and she's kind of looking into it. And of course, there's a phone on the console. Yeah. That's how 80s it is. Every console has a phone on it. And she knows how to work it, too. She knows how to work it.  He's still decomposing, and in 12 hours, he will be decomposed and no longer alive. So they have 12 hours to find out who's behind these robberies and who has created this resurrection machine. Right. And what's it all about? Yeah, and yeah, kind of how it all ties in together. Okay, so to get to the bad of this movie, right? The trash. The characters in this movie, even though you might think that they're pretty strong, they're actually not. They're pretty weak. Yeah, they're not really fleshed out very well. There's just basically Roger and Doug. They're not even that different, really. No, no.  Not that well, really, you know. Yeah. Like, there's a lot of one-liners that don't seem to really land all that well. Especially on Joe Piscopo's part.  Is that supposed to be bad? Like, you don't really know. Yeah. You should know. I know it's a joke, but it's just not all that funny. And there's also a lot of dead air like between them that could be filled with more stuff. More interaction between Doug and Roger, I think. Because like, yeah, like when Roger dies and Doug's in that chair and he's all depressed. Like, yeah, you kind of feel it, but there's not, when there wasn't enough there before to really make you kind of feel like, ah, that's shitty, you know, that he's dead. Like, you don't really care. Exactly, yeah.  Like, everything about this movie is one giant plot hole, really. So Roger's dead and they find a resurrection machine which brings him back to life and nobody really seems to like, care or really dig into like, where did this machine come from? Or like, why is this here? And like, or wow, wow.   Randy, she just gets away. Like, they have to chase her down later.  There's also a lack of a score or music to which is strange for an 80s movie. Yeah, and it's sort of... You can feel the hole that it leaves, right?  But at the end of the movie, the credits are that dead heat song, which is like, oh yeah, that's pretty good. Like why wasn't that in the movie? Exactly, they should have played throughout the entire thing, right, as the theme. Yeah exactly!  I don't know. Oh Christ. Alright and that'll bring us to the treasure of this movie. The effects. Oh yeah. They look great like the like that first zombie you see the biker zombie with the three faces.  He looked great. Also there's that scene where they where they go to that butcher shop. The guy who owns the butcher shop he like pulls that lever and there's all that lightning and everything that starts making everything come to light. That mini resurrection machine on the ceiling. Yeah and like all the chickens and everything start moving and like everything.  That liver all goes into Roger's face. It all rolls down that counter. And all those ducks and everything.  They have to fight it? Yeah they have to fight it.  It looks legit. Not once do you think oh that's fake that looks crappy. You didn't know it's like this kind of outlandish thing. Yeah. It looks real. It does. Yeah it looks great.  It's so good. That looks better than a lot of effects today. It rivals some of the it actually it rivals some of the best movies back then. It does yeah totally does. This movie has a lot of really cool cameos from people that just like whoa cool like the first one it knocked me on my ass. Bigelow finds his tape. It's like where's VHS tape? VHS tape. Let's pop it in. Vincent Price is on there.  It's like oh man this it gives the movie like instant legitimacy. Master Poe is in this from Kung Fu. Yeah. And from Star Trek is in that episode of Whom Gods Destroyed. And Sub-Zero is in this from The Running Man. Hey Kellyanne. It's Sub-Zero. Now playing zero. What is that even mean? Playing zero. Sub-Zero is already below zero so wouldn't like anything above that be better? It's a good story to find out who made this resurrection machine and why it exists and who's funding it. It plays very well into the whole rich and poor right?  Yeah which is basically the theme of the movie. It has a lot of twists in it too right? Like a lot of the characters in this movie actually die. The main character of Roger dies in the first 20 minutes like what?   Yeah. Then just find him just dead in that fish tank hanging upside down like what? Suddenly he's just dead like I thought he was supposed to be the hero now. Well now he's not. And then you think okay well Randy James she's the only one left she's gotta be the hero and she dies too right? Like what the fuck? Like everyone's dying. Yeah and actually with Randy she was dead all along. Yeah. Which is cool. Even though the comedy doesn't always land. No. It's not a complete bust with the comedy there's enough that lands where it's worth it and it works with the action and the zombies just kind of it's a nice little mesh right? Exactly.  Yeah. You got like a couple of hours why are you wasting time showering and like but nope he's gotta look good though right? It's the 80s man. So all in all I think we're gonna rate this movie. Treasure. It's a treasure.   Exactly. Don't judge a book by its cover right yet. So it is a treasure disguised as a trash. That's right. And until next time. Keep drinking. And dying. And leaving again. And dying again.


When you're first starting out you might be wondering George, you know, I hear from you to write articles make videos create content But why would anyone pay attention to me? when there are Much more experienced thought leaders in my industry people who are more well-spoken than me or better writers than me who Have been in the field for 10 20 30 years and have so much experience to share. Why would anyone? Listen to me and and why should I be even out there saying anything when I could just point people to the thought leaders of my field? That's a real question and maybe it's one that you has kept you stuck perhaps Or maybe you know somebody who is stuck because of this question. Well, I hope that this video will help to re-inspire you Into creating content again or to creating content for the first time. So let's talk about this So I want to ask you first a question for you to to reflect back to me and the question is What makes you view my videos and not the videos of all the other famous business experts in my field Yeah, I don't have to name any one of them But there are there is more videos there are more videos to watch online Then any person can do in probably a hundred lifetimes Right, there's more than enough content online Lots of it is amazing Even the most amazing content we don't have time to watch for the rest of our lives So what makes you spend the time watching my? You know not so entertaining videos compared to all the shows you could watch all the even the educational content That's more entertaining or more Well-produced my videos are certainly they're not at all produced.  I I urge you to pause this video now and please comment below because Your response is going to help Me Tremendously and it's going to help others who are asking this kind of question as well and might even help you So go ahead and pause now and comment below Before you go on. Okay. All right. I'm assuming you've already commented because otherwise pause. All right before you go on all right, so I first Answered this question About a year and a half ago. Well, yeah about November of 2017 and My answer then is slightly different than my answer now So I could you could say that I've gone through a different stage Since I answered this question, but I'm going to answer the question first from The level that probably most of you are at which is you are still you are either building an audience from the from the start or you are Building a small audience into a medium or larger audience. Okay, so You know what actually Before I share my my five points or whatever I'm going to actually read out a couple of Comments from From some of you the last time that I asked this question Okay so Sandy Freshie wrote Okay, here's my response before I here's your here yours George Even if the content is relatively the same Everyone brings their own frequency To how they express it it comes through in the person's Continence the tone of their voice the ordering of the words the environment etc I may hear a similar message from somebody else But it might not inspire me in the same way And there's also the relevance of relevance of relevant There's also the issue of relevance and timeliness Marie Forleo may have talked about the same exact thing six months ago But if your video on this topic pops up, you know in my feed at the time when I'm looking for the guidance I'm going to watch your video and not necessarily think to go searching for the answer from other sources. I Think Sandy is hit on a lot of the very good points here And when I share the blog post to this video that you can read later if you want There are other comments that I received last time that I thought were very wise about About why we should why we little old us Little old me little old you could why should we make any content at all when there's already smart and brilliant and Entertaining people out there doing exactly what we want to do okay creating exactly what we think we should be creating so One here. Let me give you my my answers One is that you can be way more accessible Than the gurus in your field you could be way more accessible than the gurus in your field so Think of I don't know think of a thought leader in your field.  It's not him You can't expect that you're going to privately message Tony Robbins or Marie Forleo or Brunei Brown or Byron Katie or you know at cartole or whoever Okay, you can't expect to message them And get a private message back anything and if they do it's like two two words or three words I mean that nothing thoughtful. Well, I still to this day well, let me tell you this so When I made the original video November 2017 I was still able to Reply to every single person's You know if a person commented multiple times I might only reply once but I I would reply to every person who Commented on all of my videos and all of my blog posts all of my social media I would reply at least something to say thank you so much I see you know some acknowledgement and and some maybe some additional insight if there's something that's relevant, so You could say that basically if you're in a In a stage of still building your audience where you're not yet Overwhelmed with client requests. Okay, I'll just say it that way if you don't yet have a waiting list Okay, if you still have space for clients Then you are at the stage where I would recommend that you reply to every Person who comments on all of your social media every person who emails you should get a Thoughtful response from you now thoughtful doesn't have to be long and it doesn't have to take a long time Okay, that's key. You could be thoughtful and friendly without taking an hour to write a response You know even my thoughtful responses take at most ten minutes, right? And that's a very thoughtful response that's a very long response, but You can be friendly supportive acknowledging Without taking a long time Okay, so you can be more accessible way more accessible than the Guru's refueled and people find that to be so So Wonderful they they they they that is a huge Advantage that you have So when you start making your videos or writing your articles and then you use Facebook ads for example or Instagram ads or Or Google ads or YouTube ads or whatever to get that get it out there and you start getting you start getting a comment or two By all means as soon as you can now not not saying you should be online all the time But at whatever rhythm is sustainable for you go and reply publicly through those comments because not only is that person who commented going to be Pleasantly surprised that they get a reply from the creator the content creator not only that But other people who are watching your video who are reading your article are going to say wow this person is actually there This person is actually Engaged that I can actually reach them Okay, and they actually say something back to me that is not happening when you view Joe Rogan's videos or you know even Gary Vaynerchuk who prides himself on hustling and working 24 hours a day And it's trying to he says he not not anymore, but he used to reply to everything right doesn't matter those gurus Can no longer can do that and by the way I Since I you know since the time I made this video originally back in 2017 now in 2019 I'm just I'm getting to that. I'm not a not a guru by any means, but my my I have a I have a very consistent waiting list my my group program is consistently full with waiting list my one-on-one and My business is such that I am no longer able to reply or you could say I'm no longer have the energy or willingness to reply To to all the comments. I I almost never reply anymore to comments. So I have lost that advantage You see what I mean? I have lost the advantage that you have When you have a smaller audience Where you can actually build relationships with your audience. I've lost that advantage I have to have a different advantage now But let me let me continue on with your advantages because that's what we're talking about here secondly You are more relatable You are more relatable than the gurus are to your audience You are just One or two steps ahead of your audience now you could say well Maybe some of you have been studying your your field or been helping people in your field for years but still being That you are not yet a guru and have Thousands of clients or whatever you are still more relatable than the gurus are and People really like that and you need to make that a strength of yours You need to you need to mention that and you know in your content to say, you know Yes, there are the celebrities or there are the gurus who have so enlightened and there's but you know I am not that different from you. I'm like you and that I also struggle with this I also struggle with that. I also am working on this, but I have found a way to Working on it that I wish I could tell I could help myself from a year ago or five years ago or whatever So you are more relatable and when you tell your stories tell the stories from that Perspective that you're not trying to be perfect Because you aren't Okay, you're not trying to be enlightened Because hopefully you know you can see that you have more work to do but you could tell stories from a place of I Get you I Understand what you're going through because I'm going through that now or not so long though. I was there Be relatable Because you you actually can be compared to because have you ever heard the term the curse of the expert? well It's going to happen to you too and it's it's happening to me more and more every year Which is I forget what it's like to free starting out. I mean, I've been I've been in my business Full-time full-time income for ten years ten years I've had a full-time income working from home doing what I what I love of Course it's hard for me to relate to those of you who are just starting out. It's hard I try and you might be getting benefit from some of my guidance But there's probably some other business coach who's a little bit farther ahead of you who's going to be able to relate to you better, right? I've been creating content consistently now for five years, you know since 2014 So it's harder for me now to relate to those of you who are just getting started I have to try to remember how to try to imagine what it was like again. You see what I mean, so Whatever I'm helping people with whether it's Facebook ads or whether it's how to write a book or how to create an online course It's like I'm so used to doing it now that I'm less relatable than I used to be So use where you are now see it as a gift See it as like this is such a precious moment for me to document to meet the journal for me to publicly share What I'm experiencing now because I'm just one or two steps ahead of the people I want to help and it's I'm not going to be Disrelatable ever again and and you could say that well every at every step along the way You're just helping the people who are a step or two ahead of you Like I I think my ideal clients are not just starting out anymore because again It's hard for me to relate. I think my ideal clients are people who have who have some audience And they want to grow to the size that I have or even beyond right? It's like okay It's more relatable because yeah, I was just there a couple years ago, you know, so So so I think that's those are two big strengths. You're more accessible You're more because you reply to comments and you apply to emails and private messages at a more timely way than Gurus can and you to reply personally not Yes, I am, you know, Tony Robbins team member 842 replying to you now, you know, so you're more relatable and I think that's actually those are the those are the key things and the key really is to be among the people Be willing to be among the people, you know reach out to people and and you know Who are part of your audience if you can reach out one to one to the people who are commenting? That's that's really that's really even better So I think that's all I want to say for this video. I'm gonna thank those of you who are Watching you could say that my my live videos are still a small audience So I'm able to thank the the Facebook live Watchers I still can still be accessible in that way Alejandra. Thank you. Good. You're in. Thank you Lisa. Thank you Yeah, so that's I think it's the three of you as far as I can tell anyway Facebook doesn't always perfectly update all the watchers and comments But I want to thank you for all of your thoughtful comments here Alejandra Especially and Lisa and Gudrun so I'll be sure to read them later And I I read I still read all of my comments it but I don't have the energy to reply I just click on like or love whenever I can though So, oh, I was gonna say I didn't complete my thought here It's like most of you are where I've just been talking about in this video, but once you get to my Sort of where I'm at now, which is I would I would consider myself having well, it's always relative I mean some people would consider me having that very tiny audience only 5,000 people but on Facebook That's it right only 3,000 people on YouTube. Yeah, you have a tiny audience George But I think to most of you I would I you might consider me having a medium-sized audience I don't have a big audience yet, but I would have a medium-sized audience not a not as maybe not as Where you maybe beyond where you are so at my level how do I stand out? From the bigger and more experienced players in my field. Well, I have found my voice And that's what you need to do too You need to create enough need to experiment enough. You need to try enough publish enough post enough And the more you do it the more you find your voice your authentic voice and Your authentic message and the biggest not the biggest mistake But a big mistake people make is they think they need to find their voice and their authentic message first Before they make videos before they write articles before they publish books before they create courses before they fill in the blank.   Oh, you're so great No, you need to get out there to the bigger world and Try with the general with a bigger audience Which can be done through Facebook ads or Instagram ads or YouTube ads or whatever it is and through partnerships and collaborations with other people's audiences But you've got to find your your your most authentic voice Which of course I'm I'm still even though I'm much more Myself much more my authentic higher self now than I was three five years ago. Even a year ago I'm still it's a it's a lifelong Eternal journey of continuing to deepen continuing to expand our understanding and our power Authentic powers really what we're talking about here. You have an authentic power that will keep on Growing as you are are willing to take that next step of clicking publish clicking post to say I'm gonna test publicly I'm going to express myself publicly and knowing that I never have to be afraid a first Making a bad first impression or a bad second impression or a bad third impression because you have unlimited Ex-opportunities you have unlimited our impressions that you can make truly I think I said this in other videos, but the people who are meant for you is Way more people than you realize first of all and second of all they will sense your energy There's an energy signature. There's some kind of like a soul group thing. I don't know what it is, but Doesn't matter if you Not if you offend them or you're not gonna offend them Okay, but the most you're not going to impress them And but you're probably not going to impress them the first or second or third time They see your thing because you're still trying to find your footing. You're still trying to figure out what you're trying to say You should try to figure out your voice. Okay, so I'm trying to figure out your style. What is my authentic style? I don't want to copy George. I don't want to copy Marie Forleo. I'm gonna cut. I don't want to copy Brené Brown I don't want to copy the I want to find who I am and you might take elements of what I do Elements of what Brené does well, but it's really about you. It's about your authentic powers. So Don't be afraid to not impress people Because people are not going to be impressed by the first second hundreds video you make But they will keep coming back. I promise you Your right people will keep coming back now They might not come back right away. They might come back three years later or they might come back three weeks later But they'll keep coming back to you until they see they recognize that energy signature like ah Yes, this is my one of my soulmates. This is one of my this is they're not gonna say that but I really like this person And I never knew why I like this person now. I know why I like this person Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Put put everything out there. Put everything out there Okay, test and experiment with what your authentic power is because When you get to my stage you realize, okay This is how I'm setting myself apart now. I can't be accessible as you are I can't be relatable as you are but I have found my authentic power more than I did before And so that's what you're attracted to now. You're attracted to my authentic power and You know now I'm kind of getting into that guru. Guru-ness. I hope I One of the things I was I hope I don't grow too fast because I can barely handle what I've got now So I want to grow gradually But but that means but that's realistic because we always find our authentic power gradually that thing. That's that's true as well so I hope this is helpful and Thanks to also Stacy Mila has joined us as well So thank you Stacy for hanging out here and with that and Paolo Good to see you here as well. I think that's all I can see here on the screen Thank you. I see you. I will see you in the next video until then Create Experiment publicly knowing that you have unlimited opportunity. You don't have to Be afraid of displeasing anybody because they will always come back always will come back to you. All right blessings be well
