From AI Labs to Warzones: Proteins, Drones & Dog Tech
Hello,
welcome to another episode of Cloud
Unplugged.
We have four news articles
based on this week's news.
We have Microsoft's four
hundred million dollar
investment in basically
expanding the Swiss data
center for AI and cloud infrastructure.
We have the evolutionary scales,
new synthetic fluorescent
protein production produced
through the usage of the
ESM-III AI model.
We have the drone attack on
Russia by Ukraine.
And we also have the
AI-powered dog collar by Fee,
which you can now integrate
into your Apple Watch to
track all the information about your dog.
Lewis... That's what we're leading with.
That's the biggest news article.
It is the biggest,
probably the biggest news article going,
yeah.
Russia, Ukraine.
Yeah, whatever.
The Apple Watch integration for your dog.
That's...
Yeah, okay.
I mean, it's up there.
It's up there as compelling news.
Anything you want to say
about the weekend or
anything else before we get
straight into it?
Well, it was my birthday.
Oh, yes.
How old are you, Dan?
I am four-four, so I'm double four.
Very honest of you.
Yeah, unfortunately, slightly depressing,
but...
Didn't really do very much.
I am going to France soon
and also had other things planned.
I have for some reason
seemed to have acquired
other fellow Dune babies as friends.
So I seem to have quite a
fair few friends that are
in the same time,
but I kind of circle around
the same time as me.
so a lot of the time there's
always like maybe dual
things planned so people
don't have to basically
especially when you share
the same social circle
they're basically going the
same people are going to
multiple birthdays so
they're all the same
birthday almost so yeah um
but yeah nothing too
exciting with good weather
and now it's not so good um
and I'm just planning the
french trip which I'm very
excited about I'm gonna drive
oh nice I'm gonna be driving
there which sneakily they
were like I'm doing the
euro tunnel so the shuttle
um and they were like your
car's very wide um so you
basically we need to
allocate you a different
space and then I was like
kind of going through the
pavement and things like
that and I was like I'm
sure this is way more
expensive than when I drove last time
So that's like fiddling
around with like types of cars.
And when you're doing it,
you then go to another page
and you just have a price
and you just choose the date.
So you wouldn't know that
that kind of price on the
date when you're selecting
was based on your car,
but actually it changes the
price based on the car that's coming in.
But you think the price is
based on the time because
obviously you're on a
completely different screen
with the calendar choosing
which date you want to
travel and what time you want to travel,
and the prices differ on there.
So you wouldn't know if you
go back onto the previous
page and change the car and
then come back again
whether the price would change.
So it's a bit crafty.
Not like I was worried about the price.
I was just like,
I'm sure it's very different,
and it just turns out, yeah,
it was actually more money
for my car for some unknown reason.
Not a very interesting fact,
but I thought I'd share that.
Anyway, how was your weekend?
You can edit.
I suppose the price of your
car and the size of it
compared with a motorcycle
that you chose the first
time would be different.
No, a Hummer.
I'm being facetious.
A Hummer was less.
A Hummer was less.
Wow.
My weekend was good.
I planned a holiday.
So like you, ish,
but it wasn't my birthday.
You're going to France?
No, I'm not.
I'm going to Turkey.
I planned and booked a holiday,
which is all good.
Turkey would be very good.
It'll be very hot though, will it not?
Yeah.
We went to China last year
and it was forty five degrees.
So hot Celsius.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was ridiculous.
Absolutely.
That is insanely hot, to be fair.
It is.
Well, I don't think I could.
you couldn't be outside for
very long no wow extreme
anyway should we do the
news but anyway yeah let's
get stuck into the news so
four hundred million pounds
being spent I think
currently they're expanding
geneva and zurich data
centers um because of the
demand the demand I'm doing
it in speech speech marks
but I I think it's
kind of maybe a bit of both.
Probably is a demand, obviously,
on AI workloads.
Obviously, it's quite a lot of banking,
pharmaceutical companies in Switzerland.
But I think it's to do with
Trump a little bit.
I think that's my... I'm all
for conspiracy theories.
That's what I want to...
be based on um I don't know
what you think about I
don't know if you followed
much about this and the
cloud act and all those
shenanigans and what it all
means I mean I just read a
surface um level really uh
you know I heard that
they're investing in as a
region um into existing data centers um
but also to the Swiss
economy and into AI
excellence and other programs.
so yeah I mean it's a center
for regulation un and ngo
headquarters in geneva it
seems you know their
government wants to
reciprocally receive money
in these areas um and their
industry also one want to
have local um ai uh
excellence so yeah but I
haven't really known about
the the the trump angle well
I could be completely wrong
and it could just literally
be just pure demand.
Um,
but I just think there's a bit of
obviously the geopolitics at the moment,
you know,
and the announcements on trying
to get a deal with the USC,
trying to get a deal.
They're not going anywhere.
The deal's going nowhere.
They're not working with us properly.
Okay.
So I just think there's
obviously a lot of uncertainty,
the whole Ukraine kind of element,
and then the EU having to
pick up the pieces and the
UN and EU not pulling their weight,
essentially.
I just think it's just geopolitically,
obviously, just a lot going on.
But when he was in power in
two thousand eighteen,
Microsoft and the FBI,
there was a court case
going on where the FBI
wanted access to the emails.
They wanted the emails.
I can't remember exactly
what the trial was about,
but they wanted these
emails for evidence reasons.
But they were obviously on
the island's data center storage.
And they refuted saying you
can't have them because
they're an island and it's
not in your jurisdiction.
So they passed the bill to say, well,
we'll need to change that
because there's already an act,
some storage act,
which obviously protects
the fact that if it's not
in their jurisdiction,
so they created the cloud act, which says,
well, irrespective of where the data is,
you're a US company.
This is US law.
You now need to just give us
the data anyway, because we want it.
So, and then that happened.
And then now he's back,
twenty twenty five.
So your conspiracy is
basically that the US
administration are helping.
Politically,
to somehow enable these
companies to give away free
or to have good rates
reciprocally with
government sovereign data
centers around the world,
a bit like they did for Saudi.
but in all territories so
that they can say, yeah,
whatever your laws are,
we're actually going to
look at the data anyway.
Is that in summary?
I think something a little bit like that,
yeah.
I think, though,
obviously the Cloud Act
would have to be an agreement, I imagine,
between – I mean,
I don't – I'm not obviously
a legal individual.
This is, like, way beyond my knowledge –
but we,
I do know that the UK has signed
the cloud act or has
entered into the cloud act.
Um,
and Europe is still negotiating the
cloud act and obviously
Switzerland being
Switzerland feels like a safe bet, um,
out of all the places to
remain pretty protective
and data sovereign.
I would say Switzerland's
pretty much up there.
So if you are gonna choose
where to expand and, um,
within the European continent,
it seems like a safe bet
given what's going on at
the moment geopolitically.
So that's my hunch.
But on why there?
Like, why not?
I mean, they are expanding to other places,
but why make such a big
investment compared to others?
And it could just be demand.
I don't know.
But it just seems a little
bit suspect to me.
It just seems a little bit suspect to me,
that's all.
But they are going to train
a million people on AI by
twenty twenty seven.
So I just wonder if they're
going to use AI to train a
million people on AI.
They are.
And then they're going to
train the AIs on the people
and then use those people
to train their AIs.
Yes.
That's how it needs to be, yeah.
Perfect sense.
To not exfiltrate any data
on sovereign soil.
That's what they're going to
train it to do.
Until you basically can't
work out who's people and
who's AI and who's training who, really,
in the end.
Are we serious?
Are we actually serious?
A little bit silly.
yeah so you obviously don't
think that you think it's
all pretty I don't know the
the cloud companies spend a
lot of time and money
trying to demonstrate how
their encryption is um
asymmetric and you can't
decrypt and they can't
decrypt it and everything's
safe but obviously if you
insert yourself at the
right part of the process
at some point it's in memory
at some points in memory but
there's you know there's
safe memory sort of
observation all sorts of
things but yeah I don't
know it gets pretty
technical pretty fast um
about how uh how effective
all these measures are and
which exploits are
available but I don't know
it's a bit of a stretch to
say the government's
listening from america
But, yeah, not impossible.
They're not listening.
It's just the fact that they
maybe worry about, you know,
if you are trying to protect,
if you're a cloud company
that's about growth and you
want Europe to be investing
and you can see investments
moving out of the U.S.,
into europe because of the
instability of the us and
you're wanting to attract
the usage of your cloud to
you know obviously grow
your investment then it's a
better choice to be like
well just in case you were worried
about maybe the US getting
access to your data or
there's some reasons why
you may not want to use
Microsoft because of the
things going on in the
States that may move your
workloads into some
competitors or some local, you know,
more regional.
American companies are
involved at all points just because.
Exactly.
Then let's do Switzerland.
Yeah, you've got data sovereignty.
We're not going to give you data,
not part of the cloud.
I think anyway.
Fair, fair.
That's just my opinion.
So evolutionary scale.
I didn't really know much
about evolutionary scale at
all until it popped up on
actually did pop up on my
phone randomly around.
There's a bit of news around
this synthetic protein,
fluorescent protein that
they managed to produce using AI modeling,
using AI model on obviously
the protein itself to
actually generate a synthetic protein.
And they managed to achieve it,
the first ever one, apparently.
And that's what it said on
the article I read.
And it's called ESM-III is the model.
But yeah,
you're obviously more connected
to pharmaceutical individuals than I am.
You've got friends that are
in this space and...
uh what do you think about
you're more credible than I
am on this I don't know
about more credible I I
yeah I did um listen to
some information about this
company um and that they're
they're a spin out from um
meta um ai researchers um with a um
a specific model to that's
multimodal and not really not
traditional element it uses
transformers at its base
but um it has three d
spatial information about
the structure of proteins
but also how that structure
relates to amino acid
sequence so you can
sequences which are in turn
related to dna sequences
and then at the other end
related to traits of how specific
folded protein structures
affect the world and are
affected by the world.
So therefore could be have
efficacy in drugs or in
specific bio applications.
And
They're building on other
open source models in this
area and data produced by those models.
So AlphaFold produced by Google.
Was that this year or last year?
DeepMind.
Yeah, DeepMind, Google produced AlphaFold,
which can accurately
predict protein structure
from amino acid sequences,
which is absolutely insane
and is one of the,
one of the cornerstones of
biology and it basically
reduces ten years worth of
effort into hours which is
unprecedented and it's the
rate of acceleration of all
these fields as a result
and this is a result where
this model has been able to
actually produce
bioluminescence
artificially in a new
protein unbeknownst to
nature or unbeknownst to
Well, not nature created, I guess.
Not nature created or knowingly,
or we don't know it to be
available in nature.
And so it's fully artificial
and has the same strength, which is,
it's amazing news because
bioluminescence allows you to test
other biological processes
so you insert
bioluminescence into
experiments and then you
can see if neurons light up
or if digestive tracts
light up or whatever
whatever it is it's a
cornerstone of feedback of
uh research in biology
And this company is
investing into both the
models but also into
robotics to test and
validate these protein
structures so you can close
the loop and get
reinforcement learning
quickly on candidate structures.
It's insane,
the rate of pace in this world.
Things that were pure sci-fi
only a year ago now seem to
be dropping away to
progress in this space.
And AI is part of that.
They also open sourced the model, which...
is a bit scary to people in
pharmaceuticals or life
sciences because models
that could generate protein
structures that could be
used to create novel viruses,
for instance,
might be seen as quite scary.
But they did some very
specific controls of after
training the model once,
They trained it a second time,
but without the data
sources for viruses and
other specific pathogen and
toxin targets.
So they cleaned the data.
Let's wind back a bit though,
a little bit.
Come back up a bit.
I'm enjoying the weeds.
but the protein folding
which is what you're
talking about which is the
three d shape the dimension
of the sequence of the
amino acids how they're
shaped in the end when they
misfold which is um then
they create obviously
sometimes negative things alzheimer's or
other constraints, right?
So diseases through
misfolding and then
obviously the functionality
of that shape of the
protein is what's quite
important and how it's
going to bind to other things,
antibodies or how it's
obviously for hormones and
things like that.
So by being able to predict
and to validate
the shapes of the protein
and the dimensions of the
protein in the end is the
thing that could help
obviously biological events, right?
Not just protein structures,
it's the relation between amino acids,
protein structures and the outcomes.
So it's holding it all in its head,
in its model,
in the relationships in the
model such that you can go
from like the desired traits
to come up with an amino
acid sequence that would
then generate the right protein.
So you can literally request
novel proteins completely
synthetically and on demand.
That's closing the loop.
That's a thing which is pure
sci-fi and has been shown to be valid.
It's learned enough about...
how nature works to be proven,
like in the sixty percent.
I think they trained it
first and it was like
thirty percent capable when
it takes a long time to
obviously close the loop
and prove that the protein
structures really work.
So robotics and remote and
robotic laboratories to
validate a part of this loop.
But
By doing it once and then testing,
they will then be able to
use reinforcement learning
to get reality back in to
the inputs to then prove
out the fact which
candidate learning is
working and give the right
signals back to the model.
So the model went between, like,
sixty percent.
But it means, like, that's a step change.
It actually might have been, like,
five percent to sixty percent.
A little dramatic.
dramatic difference so you
know going around the loop
a few two more times could
mean like crazy progress in
life sciences and it's just
one company with one one
model but a lot of money
going do you think there's
a risk obviously on the
amount of um training data
use obviously insane um but
do you think there's a risk
on people be able to create
obviously the reverse is obviously
non-beneficial aspects of it
and being absolutely great
so they open sourced um a
version of the model but
they did take very specific
safety mitigations about
making sure they cleaned
the training data
effectively to make sure
that the models uh the open
source version of the model
they thought the
the biodefense community
needed models just as much
as any adversarial agents in this space.
So it seemed like the right
thing to do would be to
allow the goodies to have
access to a model like this,
but clean the data first
and hope that's the right sort of angle.
But yeah, it's moving fast.
And yeah.
It's good.
It's good.
But a little bit scary on the edge.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess like many things,
I guess just the impact,
but I guess if you can
remodel the model that's
been used and then use the
model to predict what drugs
to use to validate,
you can just basically do a cat and mouse,
a cat and mouse effect, um,
using models to keep
resynthesizing and then re basically, um,
coming up with, uh,
the medical advancements to
obviously cater for them,
if it was to happen, I suppose.
But anyway, what do you think,
which is very, very,
very different type of
topic for us to discuss,
the Russian drone attack by the Ukraine,
the Trojan horse of crates, essentially,
rather than a horse, the Trojan crates.
And I know you were
obviously talking about this before,
but what do you think about
it all from a technological perspective,
obviously not from a strategic war
Yes, we'll stay out of too much politics.
Yeah, from a tech perspective,
it reads straight out of a
sci-fi novel of my youth, you know,
growing up, you know,
there's so many stories
about drones and swarms of drones and,
you know, this type of air.
But the audacity of the way,
the attack unfolded having
you know a covert angle to
to smuggle crates of drones
um behind enemy lines and
then to use the forgy uh
network to literally remote
control not just
doors on crates or vehicles
to release the drones which
is quite insane but also to
allow for remote piloting
of these fpv drones
in a swarm that's
coordinated so that if you
lose a signal to one drone,
you don't lose it to all of them,
an autopilot takes over.
So there's an AI element, ErdoPilot.
There's an open source
software package that's
believed to be used and
running on these drones to
allow them to navigate and to...
detect targets but with very
much human in the loop for
a pilot to be able to
switch between drones
within the swarm and then
to give the final kill
signals when they've got
confirmation of of target
acquisition but like all of
the things about this it I just
again it's showing the rate
of change of tech of ai to
run on tiny little devices
that cost and then
attacking seven billion
dollars worth of aircraft
assets um from you know
thousands of miles away
yeah three thousand miles
isn't it or something insane
just using the cell phone network.
I mean, how do you block that?
You have some burner Sims on
a bunch of drones and how
do you defend against that?
I mean, it is interesting that from a, um,
I guess from a technological perspective,
because also the, uh,
Israeli thing with the pages,
the exploding pages, um, for Hamas, um,
Like the tactics being used
are not expensive, but effective.
This is exactly it, yeah.
The typical defence is a three million,
five million,
ten million dollar sidewinder missile.
And this is not in that space at all.
Exactly,
which is making it a much more
cheaper prospect, I suppose,
to some degree.
Cheaper and more effective
prospect in terms of the
advancements of technology
and what that now means.
to war and the tactics in
war which actually makes it
kind of harder because it's
like you're saying like
missiles and missile
prevention and detection
obviously there is
investments going on that
and how do you prevent
missiles and detect them
but I mean drones being
smuggled in and like you
know thousands of them say
all I mean running around
yeah totally different
The slightly Black
Mirror-esque sort of
perspective of thousands of drones.
I think this was just
hundreds or maybe... Yeah, I mean, no.
If you imagine a future with
thousands of drones
swarming and being released
fairly innocuously or very covertly...
It's a scary new world.
I mean, you know,
with AI software that can auto target,
I mean,
maybe you're just going after one person,
but where do you hide when
there's thousands of drones
being released after you?
And they could be pretty
tiny in the future.
I mean, anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who's leading in the drone space, you know,
geopolitically?
You know,
China make the best consumer drones.
The DJI franchise, I mean, not franchise,
the company is, like,
at the cutting edge.
Didn't you say you just got
that from China?
Yeah.
Interesting.
Last year.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I don't know what you're saying.
I have no idea.
I'm not saying anything.
I'm just saying it's just interesting.
That's all.
That's all I'm saying.
I'm not one of the conspiracy theories.
No, you're not.
Just to feed your conspiracy,
what do you think of the
fact that China does very
famously on social media show off
massive drone displays.
And is that really for their
public to be wowed like a
firework display?
Or is it a little bit
geopolitical show their
leadership in massive drone
swarm coordination
capability in their companies?
Just saying.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
But they do do very cheap car.
The BYD.
So, you know,
by the kind you can zoom off.
The other thing,
like to get off the lead
you away from the China very quickly.
Operation Spiders Web was
the name of the operation.
Everything's a spider, isn't it?
In cyber warfare.
Yeah, that was a cyber attack, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Anyway.
Yeah, I don't know why.
All spiders.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I don't really know why Operation
Spider's web.
What do you think of the
drone swarm attack from afar?
Have you got any specific takes?
I think really,
I kind of said it a little bit,
my opinion,
I think it just changes the
barrier for entry almost in
some ways on how much money
countries need to have to
be still quite effective.
Um,
and so it does kind of change the game
a little bit,
but we kind of already saw that,
like I was saying with the
pages in Israel and things like that,
like sometimes it's just, you know,
not like it's a great thing
to be discussing just
generally about wiping out
elements of the human race
for political reasons or
religious reasons, but, um,
effectiveness when on the
technology and what they're
doing and the approach is
obviously like changing you
know how small things can
become how discrete things
can become but how powerful
those discrete things are
becoming plus ai powered
and how much they really
need to function is
obviously becoming less um
in some ways so there's a lot of
there's a lot of moving things.
I mean,
even some of the articles we've
just spoken about with the ESM three and,
you know,
biological warfare as well and
things like that.
Like it's,
there's a lot that there's a
negative element to it,
obviously on what could be
leveraged and there's
positive elements that you're just saying,
well, here's amazing display.
Isn't it pretty?
Oh,
we've also just taken out a load of
people with some drones and you're like,
you know,
there's like dual use cases that
aren't always...
it reads like a cyberpunk
novel um all of this but it
shows the asymmetry isn't
just about you know
military um it's the power
of less and less entities
so the power of an individual
is also going up.
How much you can get done as
an individual and what
power you wield is
increasing with the
availability and the price
of entry of all of these tech.
Yeah, we're in a funny place, aren't we?
We're in a very strange
inflection point where I
feel like it's a bit of a
limbo phase of a huge
amount of progression.
but there seems to be quite
a lot going on geopolitically,
a lot of negative connotations,
a lot of nationalist,
protectionist viewpoints kind of going on,
and obviously,
politically moves being made.
And then you kind of think,
where's the fun,
creative aspect of the
world at the moment?
Where's the music?
Where's the creativity being produced?
Where's all that going?
So I feel like at some point
maybe AI is an enabler for
those things again, maybe,
or some different phase.
But we're in a very strange...
We are.
It's hard to know the outcomes, isn't it?
Because it's like there's so much change.
You can see it around you at
work in the slight and on the edge,
but it doesn't feel like
it's fully hit yet.
It hasn't hit home in our
heads and it hasn't hit as an outcome yet,
knowingly,
not to our everyday lives as much,
but it feels like it's
about to on many fronts.
Yeah, it feels like there's...
eight thousand balls all in
the air and just a couple
need to fall on the floor
so we can play a game but it's like
Sorry, carry on.
The balls?
It's like eight thousand
balls in the air and you're
waiting for just a few to
fall off the ground so you
can all play a game,
a football or play some sport.
But you're almost like
you're all looking at the ball.
You don't know which one's
going to come down.
Maybe all of them do.
Maybe just a few of them do.
But you need the few to get
creative on what game
you're going to play.
And I think that's kind of
in this strange place where
you don't know what you're
really trying to even do
yet with what is there.
We do know.
We know how this is all going to pan out.
Go.
Tell me, Lewis.
And this is one of my great connections.
The dog colour on your watch.
I mean,
that's ground-shakingly insane
geopolitical ramifications
of dogs on your watch, right?
Firstly, I have to find out...
What is your issue with dogs?
What has happened to you?
I'm alluding to your story.
Fy launches an iPad.
It's Fy, all right?
It's Fy.
And there's a lot of dogs.
Right now, think about it, Lewis.
Right now, today, there are loads of dogs.
either sleeping, mulling around,
maybe going for walks,
chasing bulls and doing all those things.
Do you know their biometrics
and what's happening?
Do you know their heart rate
when they're running?
Do you know their GPS location?
No.
You don't, but you should.
You should know all that data.
You can't just keep it to
yourself in your Apple Watch.
It can't just be about your
pulse rate and your heart rate.
What you need to do is you
need to find out.
about what your dog is up to, you know.
So is that what it's called?
It's spying on your dog's location?
Or do you get a dog camera?
That's just one of many facets.
So I think it's just the same as a normal,
like basically it's like wearing a watch,
but as a dog collar.
And so it's getting the same
kind of biometric
information to a degree and
heart rate and exercise
levels and things like that.
So I think it's there to say,
maybe your dog needs a walk.
Or, you know,
sometimes it's like you should move.
You've been sat down for a while.
I don't know if you've been
watching Clarkson's Farm,
but they have these collars
that they fit into their
goats with geofencing and
it gives them electric
shock if they go outside the boundaries.
So does it do that?
Can you remote control the dog?
Yeah, it does that.
It also has a helicopter
propel that comes up as well and
basically if you lose your
dog and your gps and you
see you press and it
propels and you helicopters
the dog back to you brings
it back to you brings it
back it's just yeah yeah
the blades come out it's a
doggy drone and you can
essentially like navigate
itself yeah whether it's on
the scruff of the neck if
you don't have it the right
way around it could be like
yeah there obviously are
issues with that design now
you've said that now you've
said it and done it like a
noose around the dogs I can
see there are flaws on that
design you might have to
rethink um I might and then
remove the pain aspect that
might be a bit yeah exactly
maybe maybe maybe it's not
a wise thing but yeah
anyway I I thought it was
just quite funny bit of a
funny little ad because we
always do always do like a
bit of a silly one but um I
imagine it'd be like I
think a bit like um
I've got a Garmin watch.
Got it for my birthday.
Not too flashy.
Not trying to show off, but I am.
For my birthday present.
Yeah, exactly.
Nice.
And it has been quite a
funny experience because, one,
I've never had a watch.
So, you know,
a lot of years never needed a watch.
But secondly,
I'm a bit funny with the data thing.
And actually, I find it...
a little bit gimmicky and comical,
but I wanted it for running
because I always take my
phone and I get sick of
running with my phone
because it's like I've got
to strap it to my arm and play music.
So it's much better just for that.
So I kind of really got it for that.
But it tells me, you know,
it thinks it knows how well
I've slept and it thinks it
knows quite a lot of stuff.
And the other day it gave me
a score of eight T.
and I and I was like really
tired and woke up oh my god
I'm so tired and it's like
yeah you kind of slept
quite well and I'm thinking
I can't have done I
literally feel exhausted
still so I don't think
that's true and then this
morning I woke up and I was
like I feel bloody great
let's look at my score
sixty less than the day
before apparently I slept
really badly but I felt
amazing this morning I was
like so I think it's
How I feel and what it's telling me.
Yeah, I think it's a little bit made up.
I don't know how it knows
how asleep you really are.
It said it knows what REM, you're in REM.
I don't know how it knows I'm in REM.
So unless it's watching.
You sound like, I don't know,
there's comedians that do that sort of.
I don't know how he knows.
How does he know that?
Is he looking at me?
What's he going on?
Just tell me about my dog.
Biosensing tech like
infrared checks your heart rate.
Tell me how it knows I'm in REM sleep.
How does it know I'm in REM?
It wakes you up and goes,
were you in REM sleep?
It's looking at my eye.
It comes,
my arm moves and goes right to my eyes.
Are those eyes rapid?
Rapid eyes.
It's just like the dog collar thing.
A thing sprouts out,
a little helicopter flies around,
takes out your eyes, scans you.
That's a lot of rapid eye
movement I can see there.
I think he's definitely REM, yeah.
I don't know how it really
does know I'm sure but I
might have a little I might
have to ask a chat gpt that
how on earth does this
watch no I'm in ram I'd be
like to understand that but
uh yeah I think it's still
still good things though
it's you know quite a
little good gimmicky gift
I'd look at it every so
often to see your
notifications on it now
well weirdly I did turn off
every single notification I got none
and then try to work out
what I would want to be notified on.
I don't wear a watch either,
but I keep toying with it
for swimming and heart rate
sort of health stuff.
I would imagine out of everybody,
out of both of us,
I would have assumed you would have.
I just don't like wearing,
like I can't wear, I can't, I can't just,
I don't like.
Yeah, I was the same.
I don't, I'm not used to it,
but there's a collar.
We could get you a collar if
that's more appropriate.
Yes.
As long as you can promise me, like,
you are my boss as well,
that you won't use the
geofencing pain option.
Okay.
There's lots of options.
Nipple rings.
Do you want a nipple ring instead?
Does it have the same health
benefit as the nipple version?
It doesn't have the same health benefit.
It actually has lasers.
that come out so you can cut
through things.
All sorts of... Yeah, exactly.
Very advanced tech.
Yeah, very advanced.
I like that.
That sounds... Yeah,
we should get one for everyone at work.
Yeah, we will.
We'll invest in that technology.
I'm going to then... I'm now
going to go and find out
how it knows I'm in RAM.
That's going to be my next endeavour.
Surely it's got a lot you
can chat to about.
I'm about to have a
conversation with an AI about it, yeah.
Yeah.
But yeah, anyway, interesting.
Lots going on.
We'll be back, obviously, as always,
next week.
I think I'm going to have to
do it from France, you know.
That'll be all right.
Cool.
That'll be awesome.
If you do that, that'll be... Yeah,
so we'll do it from France.
Yeah.
Indeed.
If I make it there in the car,
my big wide car that's bigger cars,
but seems to be costing my money.
Anyway, great speaking as always.
And we should be back next week.
Have a good one.
Bye.
