Artifical Intelligence - Tip Shaming With iPad POS - Watching Porn Email Fraud

 

Matt Gagnon: Time to talk to Craig Peterson our tech guru who is on the line right now. Craig

Unknown 0:03
Are you they doing good? I'm down with the heart of the beast today and down in Washington DC

Unknown 0:12
it Halloween? Right? Yes. Waiting ankle deep in the swamp.

Unknown 0:16
So speak about artificial intelligence Oh

Unknown 0:21
gonna be something that we can just have an artificial intelligence in the White House perhaps crack

Unknown 0:27
you know that actually might have

Unknown 0:29
some are we talking about robot president here?

Unknown 0:34
You are under arrest

Unknown 0:38
and Ed tool nine down the street. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, the holy I think is really interesting. And we're already seeing chat box and other things out on social networks where you're trying to talk to a company and you're actually talking to a computer. But we're seeing more and more of this artificial intelligence. Earlier this year, we had a friend over at Google demonstrated in artificial intelligence that could call and make appointments, which is really kind of cool. If you heard those demos. In fact, I even sent them this morning in the email. But it is just amazing where it's going. And one of the things that's really starting to changes of the way we consume our, you know, medical services, right? Do you guys have you ever used one of those online services, we get on Skype or something, and you talk to a doctor remotely,

Unknown 1:33
I've never done that night, but I certainly know that it exists.

Unknown 1:35
Yeah, I've used it before, too, because for as little as like 20 bucks a month, you can subscribe to these things. And if you have something going on, you can just pop on talk to a doctor. And they can actually give some basic prescriptions. And they can also tell you, yeah, don't worry about it, or maybe taking to the emergency room or take them to your physician. So those types of services exist in there cutting some of the medical costs people have, well, when we look far forward, can you know, before the days of the robotic president and learn we're going to be seeing doctors online that are actually artificial intelligence. And the scary thing is the studies that are being done right now for, you know, looking at medicine, looking at computers are showing that computers are more accurate at diagnosing the majority of machine of diseases than the doctors are. So the computers are already doing better in some cases. I guess the ultimate question is, if you end up with something like it at 209 that Matt was referring to where, you know, bedside manner, is it going to be better or worse, if you're working with a computer? I don't know. But it's common. This is gonna be like, the,

Unknown 2:56
this is a nerd alert here, I guess was gonna be like the holographic doctor from Star Trek Voyager. I like this completely artificial intelligence saying treating you arrogant as a terrible bedside manner.

Unknown 3:10
Exactly. But yeah, that's kind of what it's going to be you you'll kind of chat with it. The first versions, you'll chat with them online, you'll describe your symptoms, not like going to the doctor, Google people don't just Google all of your symptoms, because you're going to find it that you are sick, it doesn't matter what your symptom is. And obviously, your heads going to fall off next week. But you're going to chat with them. And they will come up with some basic advice. And then the next step will be that it's going to be able to examine you look at your, the new Apple Watch as you get that, yes,

Unknown 3:44
no, it's gonna be my Christmas present, you know, okay,

Unknown 3:48
well, that Apple Watch today can do some basic cardiac measurements, right. And, you know, give it a few another couple of years, they'll have all kinds of stuff that's they can use that for even the camera on the Apple Watches now are being used to monitor your skin for cancer and various other things. So it's going to be you wearing your shirt to the gym, and your shirts going to be monitoring you telling you, you better stop that treadmill right now, get yourself to the hospital might even call nine one for you. Because I've noticed a major cardiac arrhythmia or your Apple Watch is going to do that it there. Everything's going to change and it's going to be a computer-centric world.

Unknown 4:32
Craig Peterson, tech guru Wednesday morning, 738. It is that time and we're talking to Craig right now. Craig is my Facebook account for sale on the evil dark web right now

Unknown 4:45
here. This is something right. We talked a couple weeks ago about the big pack some 50 million people's accounts were hacked. And we didn't really know what was stolen and Facebook wasn't being totally upfront about everything. And then downgraded at Facebook settle knows more like 30 million people. Just 30 million. Yeah, give her know what they got, what 2 billion subscribers counter something you know. So yeah, what's 30 million? Well yes, it turns out that Facebook has not only been hacked but their information has made it onto the dark web and you can go on the dark web but right now and you can find on the new marketplace you guys know about so grow right yes i did was

Unknown 5:33
i downtown does but I do know I don't

Unknown 5:35
want can might remember the original shirt he's probably old enough yeah what is it yeah yeah

Unknown 5:41
he's doing a legal briefs

Unknown 5:44
reading about matching reading what this thing about porn and fraudulent emails with them and ask them about next. Okay, shut up. Sorry about that.

Unknown 5:54
So. So this is going to interesting because between three and co dollars on the dark web, you can go out and buy the information from the hat accounts. So it looks like this is credible. It's on dream market, which is the new big dark web market, you know, Silk Road went away was it was taken down by the FBI, the guy apparently behind it all in, you know, criminal charges and everything and some jail time. So now dream market is the new market that has replaced it. And if your Facebook information was stolen, it is apparently now for sale online.

Unknown 6:37
Alright, so Ken has a porn question. But you also have the one about about tipping by your tipping when you buy a muffin. So it's, um, it's a toss up what question I will answer. But well, knowing where your mind goes, I'm gonna go ahead and guess that pornography is. So let me get this straight. Some people are emailing us saying I caught you looking at adult website. And if you don't give me money, I'm going to drop a diamond. You basically can expose that to the public.

Unknown 7:04
That's exactly what it is. And when you got that can

Unknown 7:11
I said I don't know what you're talking about. Because I don't look at a website. I did. I did google home early this morning. But that was not on a porn website.

Unknown 7:25
But that is what's happening. But here's what's going on this. These scammers have found people's email addresses and passwords from a various online systems that have been breached. Now, what can trust me what this whole thing tells me is we are not using passwords properly. You know, you're supposed to be using a different password on every website, even a different username, different email addresses, right. So here's what happened. The bad guys got all of us information that was stolen from a bunch of different websites out there, they put it all together into a pot. And then they started mailing out these pieces of mail saying exactly what you said, Hey, we found your user information out on this porn site. And by the way, here's your password. And here's your username, which is typically your email address. If you don't pay us we will let everybody in your contacts and know that you were at this porn site and that you are a member now it's interesting because this is in fact people are getting scared because it is their password but they never visited that porn site.

Unknown 8:43
So sure they have Craig

Unknown 8:47
so what it meant in my case is I was using the same password to each site and that's what's happening out there. People are just you're using the same password and all of these sites and they're getting upset and worried because it is the password that they use but it was not hacked that porn site it was just hacked somewhere else so so you

Unknown 9:08
just

Unknown 9:11
want to make sure since I've never gone to a porn site of course that they look at my camera and be filming me looking at the porn site

Unknown 9:18
yeah well that's possible too well I was down here we did a demo of how it only takes about 90 seconds to hack somebody's computer and just from a drive by download and turn on their camera but yeah that's possible that can happen they can watch you watching porn now for me it's just my mouth starts to water cuz I love that porn but um. There's a lot of different types of poor air might not want to have that app don't visit those bites right there the worst when it comes to drive by downloads and viruses and just all kinds of bad

Unknown 9:57
let me delete hope yeah okay of nastiness would be the right place the right What do you want to ask your muffin question? Well yeah you know you bring this up that you go into a place on I will miss the place but I go in and I give them my Apple Pay or give them a credit card and they turn around and it has a tip on it I got it I mean they just hated me a muffin Why am I turning around and handing me a muffin

Unknown 10:26
something right it's a guilt play my age you feel a little guilty when they interesting my wife said to me one

Unknown 10:33
time when you go pick up the Chinese food do you leave a tip and I never asked don't yet but I've started doing it because I think it will they all put in the mail to you always tip your takeout I person Yeah. So I guess in fact, I actually tipped them Oh, I don't really well. I don't either.

Unknown 10:49
They know who you are, you know,

Unknown 10:51
can I tell your story and Sorry, I'm gonna go ahead and indulge myself here a little bit. But what one of the places that I go a lot, is a famous Daves in Scarborough. Whenever I'm in the neighborhood and they get some get a chicken salad. They're beginning for years. Because I like it. I tip them very well. And I treat them very nicely and they just changed it. Listen to me. They just changed their menu. And like two weeks before they change the menu. They're like, Man, you know, you know that we're changing the chicken. And we want to make sure that we have your opinion on this. So I made you a badge of the new chicken. Would you try it? Oh, wow. Yes, by the way, excellent chicken. But I'm saying you get treated like goals. So if you say you should check them out, your recommendation

Unknown 11:29
is a problem is because they have these little, you know, iPad or tablet and they run your card and then they turn it around to you. Now you're standing in line there are people in line behind you plus the guy that just turned this around to you. And the default tip amounts are like 1520 or 25% for handing them a muffin or grabbing some coffee. You know what what's going on here it is it's really awkward and I've been there myself and for usually just say other and I give them some minor tip like a box or something as opposed to the two or $3 it might be recommending it you know, they're not paid terribly well. But I I think that's kind of tip shaming should go away. That's a part of technology. I definitely don't like

Unknown 12:22
yes, shaming should go but you should still tipping point shaming should go away to

Unknown 12:28
Craig

Unknown 12:29
Well, typically

Unknown 12:30
absolutely as you should. We're going to go and leave it there Craig, appreciate you joining us and we will talk to you again next week. Sir.

Unknown 12:36
Hey, take care guys. Bye bye. Alright, great. So of course

Unknown 12:41
ties into a script doing
