1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,919 Welcome to Top 5 Tech, my weekly show sharing something to watch, listen to, read, download, 2 00:00:04,919 --> 00:00:06,419 and something deep every week. 3 00:00:06,419 --> 00:00:10,640 This week you have got to watch Cleo Abrams' video about Antarctica. 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,160 It's on her huge IfTrue YouTube channel and it is basically a mini-documentary. 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,519 I don't even know if it's mini, I mean, she went to Antarctica personally, she talked 6 00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:23,160 about ice cores and drilling them, and the lakes under Antarctica that scientists have 7 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,440 actually gotten to study and whether or not they have found life. 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,399 I won't spoil that part, but you've got to see it. 9 00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:29,399 It's an incredible video. 10 00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:33,759 Next up to listen to, this is Tech Adjacent, and I did listen to the audio-only version, 11 00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:37,799 but if you also want to watch it, this is on YouTube, but Jonah Hill was a special guest 12 00:00:37,799 --> 00:00:42,000 on a live, smartless podcast, and I know there's a lot of celebrity podcasts out there and 13 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,200 they vary in how good they are, but I really enjoyed Jonah Hill's interview. 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,359 He feels very authentic, genuine, you know, he did a lot of movies, big movies like Wolf 15 00:00:51,359 --> 00:00:55,799 of Wall Street and Moneyball, seemed to have gotten burned out and then started a family, 16 00:00:55,799 --> 00:00:59,640 got back into writing, and as I hear him on this podcast, it really feels like he genuinely 17 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,600 loves what he's doing right now. 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,079 Just hearing someone talk passionately about something they love doing, that they would 19 00:01:05,079 --> 00:01:09,180 do it no matter what, however much they're getting paid for it, it was really enjoyable. 20 00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:11,480 So that's the Jonah Hill interview on the smartless podcast. 21 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,879 I want to read this week, there's only one thing you should be paying attention to, and 22 00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:17,519 that's the new book by Joanna Stern, I Am Not a Robot. 23 00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:20,439 It's actually out, you can get it, mine was delivered earlier this week. 24 00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:22,200 I've already started reading it and I'm already hooked. 25 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,079 You can also listen to the audio book, it's also read by Joanna Stern, teaser, we might 26 00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:30,079 get her as a special guest on a podcast pretty soon, so I'm excited for that. 27 00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:33,500 Just reading the introduction and first chapter, it's already incredible. 28 00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:36,500 I've also been watching her YouTube videos, so I am not a robot. 29 00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,500 And I mentioned her a couple weeks ago as well, so I will shout out one other book. 30 00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:43,000 Not necessarily tech-related, but my wife and I have been reading The Body Keeps the Score. 31 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000 We're on the very last chapter. 32 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000 It is a heavy book, both heavy in terms of the content, lots of studies, psychology, 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000 and also some of the stories that are told in it. 34 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000 But learning about trauma and the brain and how it affects the body, it has been a pretty wild book. 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,960 heard Merlin Mann talk about this book and mention it on several of his podcasts. 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,039 I want to download this week, well of course it's Jason Aytens at my co-host on Primary 37 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:13,479 Technology, Contextly is now out on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, syncs your notes across all the 38 00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:18,680 devices, it is free to use, write your notes, use Markdown, connect your events, attach 39 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,800 those notes to events, all that is completely free. 40 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,360 Then if you want to try some of that audio recording, transcribing, and Apple intelligence 41 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,039 features, you could pay the $5 a month or $40 a year. 42 00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:32,919 I'm doing these downloads because I just did a video on some Mac apps that you've probably 43 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,919 never heard of. 44 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,400 I'm really enjoying a new app called Gnome for the Mac. 45 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,919 This is a fast GIF search, you can use a keyboard shortcut, bring up the search, quickly put 46 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,400 a GIF on your clipboard, it's a $7 one-time purchase. 47 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,120 Really been loving the Gnome app. 48 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,360 And also if you're looking for a completely, completely free app, Swim the Dive Swimmer 49 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,199 House is an incredible developer. 50 00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:57,000 He makes the apps like Actions for shortcuts, and Short Cutie, Supercharge, Today, he makes 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,960 so many incredible apps, and today is one of his free ones. 52 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,099 And he has lots of free ones, but if you just want to see the events for today on your calendars 53 00:03:04,099 --> 00:03:07,280 You can choose what calendars show up. It's a little menu bar icon 54 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,360 You just click it shows your events quickly 55 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,439 You can also program a keyboard shortcut just to toggle it on and off very quickly 56 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:18,379 But that app is completely completely free and finally for something deep. We talked about it on today's primary technology 57 00:03:18,379 --> 00:03:22,000 I record this on Thursdays, and this was a clip from the University of Central Florida 58 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:28,520 Commencement address and apparently was a guest speaker speaking and she mentioned AI and how it's the new industrial revolution 59 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,240 posted this video on blue sky and he said with quote when you're inside the bubble you think everybody else is but everybody isn't and 60 00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:39,240 This clip just it kind of blew my mind 61 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:46,159 I did not think that hundreds of college graduates would be booing at a commencement address when it comes to AI 62 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,240 the rise of artificial intelligence is 63 00:03:51,539 --> 00:03:53,539 the next industrial revolution 64 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000 I 65 00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:07,360 Struck a chord 66 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:14,539 Now I have kids they're in high school and younger and their relationship with AI is maybe looking up using it for research asking it questions 67 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,879 Sometimes it can just be funny, but I don't feel like they have the harsh reaction to it 68 00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:23,839 Like these college graduates do but I also see a lot of memes on Instagram and tick-tock of people saying 69 00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:29,860 Managers and employers love AI and want their employees to use it because they think that raises productivity 70 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,920 And all the employees can't stand it and feels like it's getting shoved down their stroke and they feel like it's getting shoved down their 71 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,040 Throat, so I'm really curious if you're younger generation Gen Z or younger and you're listening or watching this podcast 72 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:47,680 I really want to know how you feel about AI in relation to your day-to-day use and also what it means for your work and 73 00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:52,439 Employment opportunities in the future. Is it scary? Is it frustrating? 74 00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:57,720 Are you more annoyed that some managers gonna ask you to use AI and maybe requirement just in your daily work? 75 00:04:57,879 --> 00:04:59,939 Even if you don't need to I would love to 76 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,060 I'm gonna leave an email address down in the show notes along with all the links to everything 77 00:05:03,060 --> 00:05:05,379 I talked about in today's episode. 78 00:05:05,379 --> 00:05:09,120 And you can also get these episodes as a newsletter that are delivered every Friday. 79 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,000 Get those links in an easy email, you can watch, listen, download and all the things. 80 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,680 And if you haven't yet, I'd appreciate a five star rating and review in Apple Podcasts if 81 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,160 you're watching and listening there or in Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. 82 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,519 Thanks for tuning in. 83 00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:23,100 We'll catch you next week for Top 5 Tech.
