**The Dark Side of Surveillance: A Deep Dive into Camera Apps and Government Intrusion**

In recent times, there has been a growing concern about the widespread use of surveillance camera apps that compromise user privacy. These apps, which are designed to be innocuous and convenient, have been found to have a dark side - they can be easily hacked and used for malicious purposes by governments and other entities.

One such app, Tesla, was discovered to be using facial recognition technology in its cameras, which is a clear violation of user privacy. The app's developer, Tesla, had designed the camera to immediately upload all recordings to the cloud without users' knowledge or consent. This means that any information stored on the device, including call recordings and other sensitive data, can be accessed by anyone who hacks into the app.

The app's poor security architecture was exposed when a user discovered that the phone number of the person making the call was included in the network request. When the user asked how this was possible, they were told that authentication was required not just on the website but also on the websites that the app pulled media from. This is a serious security breach and highlights the need for better security measures in place.

The discovery of Tesla's facial recognition technology has sent shockwaves through the tech community, with many calling for greater regulation of surveillance camera apps. The California Consumer Protection Act and GDPR are two pieces of legislation that could provide some protection for users, but it is unclear whether they will be effective in preventing similar breaches in the future.

Another disturbing example of government surveillance is the case of Bangladesh, where phone hacking tools were sold to the country's notorious paramilitary force, Rapid Action Battalion. The tools were designed to extract data from mobile phones and were reportedly used by the government to monitor citizens' activities. The fact that the buyer was a country with a history of anti-Israel sentiment makes this development all the more troubling.

The sale of phone hacking tools to Bangladesh has raised concerns about the involvement of Israel in surveillance activities, particularly in countries with which it has strained relations. The deal was reportedly made through Singapore, where some of the training took place, and highlights the complexities of international relations and the ease with which sensitive information can be shared.

In another disturbing example, a popular iPhone app that allows users to record phone calls has been found to have a serious security flaw. The app, which is designed to upload call recordings to the cloud, does not rely on Apple's iCloud services for data storage. Instead, it relies on its own servers, which are vulnerable to hacking. This means that any user who downloads and installs the app may be exposing their sensitive information to hackers.

The discovery of this security flaw has raised questions about Apple's role in ensuring the security of its apps. The company has a responsibility to protect users' data, but it seems to have failed in this case. The incident highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability from tech companies when it comes to user data.

In conclusion, the widespread use of surveillance camera apps and government intrusion into citizens' private lives is a serious concern that requires attention and action. Users must be aware of the potential risks associated with these apps and take steps to protect themselves, while governments and tech companies must also take responsibility for ensuring the security of user data.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everybody today is march 16th and we're here with another week of level one news and we were talking right before we started this is a weird week because we're doing robots and security and social today i don't think we've ever done robot on a tuesday before it's a brave new world krista and i think that after last week the chat and the patrons need to hear an update what's going on here oh about my new life uh i was gone we're still unpacking but we are farther along than we were all our stuff is at the new house we're getting settled in there are two cats next door who are now hanging out on our patio which i'm kind of into i think they might belong to someone else because they're really friendly but they're uh they're now ours and we need names you're coming to us from uh the new house yeah yeah this is a temporary office setup you can see rue's bed is behind me but she's absent because my husband is making lunch and she's begging for scraps how how many nights so far ah we did our first night i guess that was saturday night after we got all our furniture in so it's been like almost a full week at this point but we're still going back to the apartment to do laundry because we don't have our laundry set up yet and we don't have uh all of our like cleaning done at the apartment yet that's the worst part because you're cleaning something that you're just leaving yeah it's not fun at all and like we've had to patch the drywall and like it's just not fun i didn't do this for me i did it for someone else for a security position i'm not getting anywhere i'm not gonna get back yeah absolutely they're gonna take one look at the dog remnants in that apartment there shouldn't be any like rue was not a puppy at that apartment so like she was a good girl there so there shouldn't be anything there but i'm sure that they'll find a way to keep it so whatever it's not my problem i will never have to deal with that rental company again after like uh you don't know about the economic collapse chris that's true that could still happen you still have a mountain of debt uh well unfortunately the money printer is going burr so that'll drive down the debt if the dollar give me that stemi check but if our first story teaches us anything it's that there's never enough money to protect you from the future because the future can come at you fast and it can really threaten your entire existence and when that happens you kind of gotta lie a lot reuters has the headline facebook asks court to dismiss the u.s government and state's anti-trust cases the reason and i'm not even kidding when i say this is because facebook read the complaint from the ftc and they don't see anything that applies under current antitrust laws they're looking at they're like is this about some other company it's a bold move cotton let's see if it pays off they're saying they don't understand but they're also quietly like shoving some money across the table like let's just make this go away and if you want a beautiful example of lawyer speak and why these people get paid those insane sums of money at this you know corporate law level read what the guy wrote about the emails from zuckerberg that were clearly anti-trust violations because he just the wordsmithing it's disgusting but there's a beauty to it when he said we were going to murder her and leave her body in the woods what he was talking about was a friendly game of badminton it's like uh i don't think so that's accurate the ftc had no comment regarding facebook's response now facebook i think uh we've talked about this before i think even the people who use facebook doggedly understand on some level that it's bad don't you think so more than half of the employees understand that on some level it's bad hopefully yeah apparently at google they can't figure it out but maybe at facebook i don't know but there is one place on the internet that is just it's one of the most unbearable places because of the user base not the code or anything and i don't think those people have any idea what they are and because of that wildly successful in fact beyond most people's dreams reddit hires its first chief financial officer as it prepares to go public i think reddit's got a lot of the same problems that twitter does there's a lot of people there there's not really a lot of ways to monetize those people well this is going to monetize for some people probably not for the retail investors that pile into this this is going to take whatever value reddit is perceived to have create a mountain of debt and then it's going to become a game of how do we get back what the debt is yeah and that's that's all it is so it can only drive reddit out of business or but drive people somewhere else so that will take years yeah yeah it'll it'll be a slow decline as the site gets filled with more and more ads and it'll be plenty of time for all the current people to sell out and do something else start you you sell your shares you schedule your sale you hope it lasts that long and then you go to a startup you start a startup is that not the playbook yeah i mean that kind of happened with some of the reddit founders you know before now but the one guy came back the guy that's in charge now yeah he's gonna cash out and the other guy is the guy from mit that uh the prosecutors drove to suicide he's gonna double dip because he already cashed out once now he's back he's cashing out again brilliant terrible for society but you got to appreciate the brilliance of the move now do you remember not unlike our next story do you remember a simpler time i was thinking about this when internet vigilantism was mostly on 4chan and the media thought it was a bad idea because it is oh how things have changed citizen sleuths launched a slick new website to hunt down capital insurrectionists this is on the huffington post so it's almost like they're advocating this yeah i don't i'm you know i i'm very i don't know surprise isn't the right word but it's not often that you and i are saying the same thing exactly but this is a terrible idea and remember pizzagate yeah like why would you do the fbi's job for them well not only that but i mean this like what happened there it's like an onion with multiple layers i don't know this like when when shrek was explaining ogres and it's like an ogre is like an onion there's many layers there's many layers to that i mean there are some politicians that were like you guys need to come down to the capitol armed and you know be prepared to reinstate democracy and it's like if i you know i get it i understand but some people are gonna do that like they're gonna be like okay yeah i was like no there was there was a hidden meaning there was a deep no that's not what that's not what happened there's a lot of people really high up that are responsible for what happened so if you're going to punish the citizens you need to punish everybody and everybody who ride it during the summer yeah yeah i mean just wow so frustrating there's a guy that used to own a barbecue in louisville he died and he didn't deserve to die and nothing is going to happen because he died and he was feeding everyone that's not right and also in other news related to that event we have more and more stuff that is uh coming out there fighting in the courts and in politics to try and again single out anyone with involvement now in this case this guy was probably over the line yeah uh twitter sues the texas attorney general paxton claiming that he retaliated over trump ban they've already got some of i was like uh you know blah blah this is just maneuvering no they've already got some emails in discovery from this guy that are amazing the level of corruption is just astonishing and he is already under investigation from a 2015 event that was completely pre-trump for some uh insider trading some sec problems so apple might have already been rotten the apple is rotten no matter what color it is which is sad very sad like two internet bozos have to point this out to you it makes no sense chewbaccas are not from what is krista i don't know not an internet bozo i'm just a reader was this not an april fool's fool's thing at some point yeah remember that yeah that's funny because you know you wait long enough it just becomes a reality yeah oh yeah sorry twitter is uh is testing an undo option after sending tweets i didn't see that you hit the button i'm sorry um yeah so there's like there's there's you gotta show them the ui here what is there to say about this really like they took the picture out it was in there i remember looking there were several of them there's a there's a video you can still click on yeah but let's not do that it was basically a giant blue button yeah and then it has like a timer it's like oh crap choose now if you want to undo i don't understand well i do understand but i i mean talk about you know human frailty you can't discipline yourself to wait that 30 seconds before you click the button but after you click the button you panic and start making decisions yeah or in my case i make lots of typos and then it's just like i'm just going to delete this and start over again proofreading you have an unlimited amount of time before the click no i can't control myself when you talk about a live tweet well one example of someone who should have definitely used that undo button unfortunately they did not have delete not available to them yet but boy i understand what they were going for here but it was bad it was so stupid well the wording was intentional to catch your attention yep but they caught the wrong kind of attention they caught these hands burger king apologizes for quote women belong in the kitchen tweet it was a tweet it literally did say more women belong in the kitchen but what was it talking about it was talking about burger king announcing on you know women's day that they're going to offer scholarships for more women chefs in the uk because there's not enough professional chefs in the uk that is like the marketing people you know there's no such thing as bad publicity and the marketing people are like oh yeah we're so sorry but secretly they're like yeah now krista have you seen any of the new house that's not between the kitchen and the bedroom no no i i go nowhere i'm not even allowed outside because i'm always barefoot you will eventually need to clean it i imagine yes well you know i'm scrubbing all the time as is my only goal as a woman and i hope that since you've moved in there you haven't worn any shoes please tell me no no no no no shoes i think we need to return to uh you know architecture as late as like the 1950s 1960s uh you know there was a main staircase for the people to live there to use and then there was a separate treacherous staircase that was called the servant staircase which is literally yeah and so which one does rue use in that scenario all the service stairs definitely who's not been trained for hauling though she's not like the dogs in room world didn't rue vomit on some stairs recently uh that was at the apartment yeah it was a few months ago i seem to remember some pee on some stairs when roo came to visit here oh she was excited i cleaned it but yeah i used it she was a puppy she's gotten a lot better about it but when she was a puppy like any time any sort of new experience or new person she would immediately just like pee everywhere she doesn't do that anymore but it was a problem for like the first year the other question here is do you think based on all that does burger king consider their employees chefs that's the other yeah i was kind of like listen i could see this if it was like a nice restaurant but you're burger king like is anyone really like yeah i can't wait to develop recipes for burger king because you don't develop recipes really unless you're like at the very top level yeah they do that in the test kitchens yeah is it possible to have a restaurant like like so if burger king had chefs burger king would have a position that is not soul crushing in my opinion because i could see you know that being fulfilling well actually saying there are like you know a handful of burger king chefs at the home office but yeah it's not every individual franchise is like that though i wouldn't think remember that scene from breaking bad where uh the guy's eating the chicken nuggets oh yeah like that's where that happens not in the stores i even i don't think that would be all that satisfying because it's like you know i'm a really clever amazing chef that's learning how to use dog food level ingredients to produce something palatable but it's like your talents are wasted what if you had a real kitchen and yeah if you invent for example the mcrib and you watch it generate billions of dollars and your paycheck stays the same capitalism well hey in capitalism i would say don't work for burger king if you got talent go do your own thing clear view we hear a lot about clearview and it's all bad but they also just keep growing it seems like and they're becoming a real juggernaut lawsuits are no stranger to them and here's another one clearview ai uses your photos online to instantly id you that's a problem this lawsuit says this headline is worthless this is the california consumer privacy act stuff they can't do what they do without violating the california consumer protection act and this is not the first time we've seen this and this is going to proceed to court and there's probably going to be something that happens just otherworldly in order to make this okay because it's not okay and you can't opt out of it and more and more the cameras are just simply everywhere we have a hard time avoiding it and just functioning in the world and the thing about you know cameras everywhere is now they are armed with ai and we know how dangerous facial recognition is but the question the algorithm is silently judging me while i go buy apples yeah and the question that is constantly asked about this and you know the big criticism is how accurate is it because if it's not accurate or if it has gaping holes like you know skin pigmentation then why are we using it and one gaping hole that we didn't even know about before has been pointed out here and it's hilarious open eyes state of the art machine vision ai is fooled by handwritten notes so you can take a handwritten note write ipod on it and stick it to an apple and it's like oh that's an ipod 99.7 sure it's technically not wrong i like how that point one percent got it right come on guys it's obvious this one's even better because uh they didn't even need paper they put these on there after the fact digitally piggy bank that's uh i mean it could be a piggy bank i guess you took all the stuff out of it put the shell back together are people just going to be walking around with like papers on their heads to avoid yeah this is like the banana i was just messing around i was messing around with the uh the hike vision face recognition and if you've got a pair of glasses like mine you can just strap some ir leds to the uh you know like the side bands and then it's so bright it can't recognize your face it's like it has no idea they sell like baseball caps of course you're always walking around with really bright lights in your eyes well i mean the same kind of a thing you could just wear an ipod thing on your hat and it's like oh that's a walking ipod no nothing to see here totally normal that'd be funny if you're like the most popular brands of things it's like why are there a ton of harley-davidson's in the mire let's see a computer reconstruction of that event and that's just anthropomorphic harley-davidson's walking around they're in the store they're concentrated in the produce section for some reason so yeah the computer vision stuff has huge flaws and when you see a flaw like that and you think about like if text fools image recognition and you're walking down the street with something written across your butt terrible things can happen from this huevo simulated real world crashes to prove that self-driving cars can prevent deaths so it recreated the circumstances of a bunch of accidents and was able to show that hey if these were self-driving cars it wouldn't happen this is ultimately going to be used as a prop to convince legislators that it's too dangerous to let meat bags drive yeah and they talk about how most of these things that they studied was uh single car crashes but when they added the second car into it they claimed that the offending car if the offending car was a waymo almost every death would be uh a life saved they didn't go into detail i wonder if that was like coma for the rest of your life but not a death they just nudge the numbers well i don't i don't think they could predict with that level of accuracy i think they're just saying that my take away from it was that even if only half of the cars driving are way more cars that is still going to dramatically cut the number of driving deaths that exist well when there is a collision and you don't need any legislation for this when there is a collision if one of the cars is self-driving car that insurance company is going to bludgeon you yeah with the fact it's like well you were driving the car it had to be your fault yeah and that's we're just going on their word you don't understand i had a i had a bumper paper of a holographic banana that's the whole problem they're like no that's impossible waymo investigated itself and found that it was totally worth it and that you should totally invest in it the ai is like i had more than seven feet of clearance around the floating banana and i know that bananas can't accelerate that uh when it comes to ai research krista you point out something important and that is you know not only was google sort of uh you know grading their own papers there but when it comes to how we reproduce ai research do you think that google gave out the code for the weigh mode so that you could test this yourself no absolutely not yeah probably not and it turns out almost no one does when they do machine learning papers furious ai researcher creates a list of non-reproducible machine learning papers so scientists publish papers so this article says a lot of the time it's for uh conferences people want to go to conferences and present stuff they might fudge the numbers a little bit in order to get that out the door it's a pretty common thing in academia so theoretically with a published paper a reader that's sort of familiar with the knowledge domain that the paper is in should be able to take the paper the information contained within and recreate whatever it is that you did in the paper this person says they spent a week building something that was described in the paper it didn't work and there are forms you can go to and talk about this kind of thing and everybody that responded to him was that a middle bowl yeah there's a metal ball's back oh sorry that was him in the kitchen i think um the uh everybody that responded was like i've 70 of what i try i can't get to reproduce these just don't work so you're going on the naughty list now they're building a naughty list probably a good thing it's disgusting that like in 2021 you must question everything right yeah right the most fundamental truths are under attack yep and the entire research world we just cannot trust it the apple is rotten to the core it's getting a lot of papers are going to be like go to this github profile and type these commands in a terminal and then you can recreate it and otherwise it's not going to be accepted for publication i but who's going to do that it's so intensive labor to do that well the programming part of it that's not a big deal like that's the least amount of labor but the data set is what's problematic it's like oh i used amazon's something something data set and it's like well you're never going to get that so you're never going to reproduce that no but see they point out in some cases if you're doing machine learning research for google google is not going to let you give out your code and anything for that yeah so then what do you do you're just stuck you just produce a nice marketing paper for google saying oh it's totally okay don't worry about it here's my paper i mean they kind of do that although i mean mapreduce is the thing that made google and the paper on it is very good but you know the data set not all that useful well if you're the person who has to do all that stuff i understand that your job is going to be very stressful and unrewarding you're going to be miserable and maybe sometimes you feel like you just got to get out of there just go outside clear your head just take a walk but now there's a new danger involved with taking a walk only to your shins sidewalk robots get legal rights as pedestrians so if you hit one of those with your car it's your fault and if you you know are being aggressive on the sidewalk it's your fault assault people tend to just smash them yeah people get really angry which i don't understand but so i think uh 550 pounds is what they set the limit at and 12 miles per hour so i mean if 550 pounds fell off a sidewalk onto your shin yeah that would be bad painful it could roll the old ankle so uh they also point out that starship is this company who is kind of pushing for this because they have these delivery robots and uh they have had several that have yellowed into some water and some that just got stuck and like you know just like kept trying to turn and there's banging into something that'll be funny to see oh you're a pedestrian i'm not allowed to help you so let's uh look forward to more robots on the sidewalks i gotta think about around here yeah like around here don't you think somebody would steal that yeah absolutely i mean you're thinking that's not happening more and you're thinking well that's 550 pounds well yeah everybody's got a pickup truck around here and like six meth friends we have a problem with atms disappearing yeah so yeah that's definitely going to happen i found this atm and a concrete fault and uh when it comes to robots navigating themselves of course we're constantly trying to move that forward to get better at recognizing these things and that's what waymo is doing but they're not the first to reach the coveted level three honda launches the world's first level three self-driving car but they're only going to sell 100 of them because they're ultra ultra cautious so level three is even beyond what tesla currently has which is exciting krista what would you pay for a level three self-driving car uh not that much because i'm a cheapskate and i don't really care about cars that much yeah but what's your number for assault like a nice self-driving car i don't know like if you were looking at the car and it cost x number of dollars more to get it with a self-driving package what is that number i would think like 10 000 more i don't know this car is going to set you back 100k wow yeah also i love this photo of like the suit standing around the car they look like wax figures like they don't know what to do with their hands isn't that something they train you about how to stand with your hands down like that yeah to seem more professional because you never know what to do with your hands yeah i mean i kind of would probably do the same thing because like even sometimes when we're filming i don't know what to do with my hands but this is like it's especially awkward with this photo i never would have guessed that the uh you know as we inch closer to the uh knight rider kit future it's a honda yeah they were the first to do it that is surprising it's a pretty color that picture it's a pretty color card so they are saying that the limited rollout is not only to make sure that it works everywhere but also as they claim to educate the public because they don't want to get into that elon musk loophole because what they're saying is the only time this becomes fully self-driving is in traffic less than 50 kilometers per hour so when you're like miserable in traffic you just turn it on and go to sleep or whatever although you're supposed to be able to take the wheel back within seconds yeah yeah you're still supposed to pay attention at level three but when you break out of the traffic and it gets back above 60 kilometers per hour it's back to all you which is probably a better system right now don't you think yeah especially traffic up there well i imagine uh yeah what was that in asia somewhere right yeah japan so i don't know how the japanese roads are compared to ours well tokyo is pretty crazy engagement challenge the big microsoft outlook hack happened and we talked about that last week but we were saying i wonder what's going to happen with this well it turns out a lot because after microsoft announced it it actually hadn't been used that much but then microsoft is like all right we're announcing this this is real you need to patch and the threat groups when they saw that announcement they just just the throttle went all the way up they went after everybody at least 30 000 us organizations newly hacked via holes and microsoft's email software that's exchange if you're uh you know engagement challenge if you're an exchange administrator and you didn't patch how's your day going because the ransomware is already being deployed now that's in the us up to sixty thousand computer systems exposed in germany to microsoft fla a flaw according to the bsi so this is berlin a lot of people running exchange on premise because they don't trust the cloud it's a very bad day very bad weekend and european banking regulator eba targeted in microsoft hacking yeah exchange is a popular product and not one that you're thinking about updating every day no because everybody will scream at you if they can't get their email for five minutes right because it's you know it's critical is it though is it really i would kill not to have like an involuntary reaction when i hear my email sound ding on my phone well krista if you were to kill i guarantee you'll never hear that again it's not not unlike the salad bowl ding to the audience we should make that available as a notification krista what is your home security plan uh well we have a dog and also we live in the middle of nowhere now i happen to know a few things about your dog christopher a question yeah my mom swears that she's like oh rue would be such a good guard dog like she would protect you i'm like mom she loves everybody she's ever met someone could break in here and she'd be like awesome new friend you know we can test that i'll pop on a ski mask you set up some cameras just hop right on in well you might be lucky krista that you have not installed a certain brand of cameras because oh boy was this embarrassing uh hackers exposed uh a bunch of places tesla yeah tesla v tesla jails hospitals a bunch of people using these cameras it was one of the big tech companies too i can't remember which one it was yeah they uh uh they got their internal stuff was attacked which all this stuff phoned home but i forgot the name of the company yeah it started with a v didn't it uh vacata there you go so ricotta i don't know anybody that's using these so i feel like i dodged a bullet tesla well no i mean i don't know like personally don't know anyone so the tesla was a an asian factory it wasn't in the u.s and that was the only factory apparently that uses these but the jails and so many other places were using these and if you were using these anywhere you got compromised would be not unlike compromising the highqvision update server handy so watch out if you're running those cameras or any cameras really because just you know they're just not here also the other amazing thing about this is that they uncovered a very clear view like uh facial recognition system built into these things and some of these are public places where that should not be allowed and is not allowed under the california consumer protection act so or gdpr for that matter maybe we find something out there i doubt the one in china will be affected by that maybe because they're not using the official cameras from the ccp and if you are someone who likes to record your phone calls there's already some laws about that we're a two-party state right yeah uh no one oh really yeah i should just be recording all my calls then but i won't be using this app a bug in a popular iphone app exposes thousands of call recordings this app is designed to immediately upload all of the recordings to the cloud because it is insanely brain dead architecture and guess what that cloud not secure i feel like that should be like like apple tap security and like they've got the app the advertising thing for applications it's like does this application store data on my phone or does it send it to the cloud because this kind of thing should not send it to the cloud immediately or it should rely on apple for like icloud services for data storage not its own now this was they were depending on the calls the network calls from the page being fine as long as you were already authenticated in your app but somebody who was looking at that said hey the phone number's in the network request what happens if i change that and the answer was you get all the recordings from that phone number me oh great yeah turns out that you have to uh authenticate not just on your website but the websites that you're pulling media from i just recently figured out how to use youtube dl to get the kalturas that segment them that's a game changer and finally bangladesh bangladesh is a i think we've talked about them several times before and it's always in the the frame of wow the government shouldn't be doing that especially when it comes to the internet and technology and this is a big one but the crazy thing here is who sold it to them considering the socio-political uh problems between the two countries bangladesh bought phone hacking tools from israel what document show the country's notorious paramilitary force rapid action battalion was among those uh trained to extract data from mobile phones so the next time you've got a bill bar type telling you oh we can have safe law enforcement back doors show them this well technically it's not law enforcement i mean it is in bangladesh but yeah not in israel but the crazy thing here is bangladesh is a country whose official stance is basically death to israel like they totally support palestine and they make no secret about it in fact the guys from um celebrity this is the you know those people they were not comfortable going to bangladesh as jews they had to do the training in singapore to get around that and no one that didn't raise any flags i feel like we should do a separate video on this the feel-good story of the american dollar bringing you know hate groups together repressive regimes breaking through cultural barriers that's the the topic of that so a lot of people inside of israel a lot of these uh ethics groups and stuff like that are really trying to stop this but it seems like celebrate is just does what they want if they're doing this in the open imagine what's happening behind closed doors that's i mean just you got you have no idea it's it's just insane so if you are in bangladesh watch out because if they get a hold of your phone they get everything even if they don't get a hold of your phone if you connect to one of their towers i feel like that's just true everywhere now like if you're in any country watch out yeah i suppose that uh europe has some decent laws about it but whether or not that step stops the cops on the ground is another question yeah maybe in discovery after you've been in jail for six months and you get some discovery maybe that'll save you maybe not i doubt in bangladesh you get that due process well krista uh i you this week's goodbye has to be you know like finally homeowner goodbye uh put my pinky up because i'm landed gentry do you have a wine glass i do but it's in the other room for god's sakes don't go to the kitchen women don't belong in the kitchen youhello everybody today is march 16th and we're here with another week of level one news and we were talking right before we started this is a weird week because we're doing robots and security and social today i don't think we've ever done robot on a tuesday before it's a brave new world krista and i think that after last week the chat and the patrons need to hear an update what's going on here oh about my new life uh i was gone we're still unpacking but we are farther along than we were all our stuff is at the new house we're getting settled in there are two cats next door who are now hanging out on our patio which i'm kind of into i think they might belong to someone else because they're really friendly but they're uh they're now ours and we need names you're coming to us from uh the new house yeah yeah this is a temporary office setup you can see rue's bed is behind me but she's absent because my husband is making lunch and she's begging for scraps how how many nights so far ah we did our first night i guess that was saturday night after we got all our furniture in so it's been like almost a full week at this point but we're still going back to the apartment to do laundry because we don't have our laundry set up yet and we don't have uh all of our like cleaning done at the apartment yet that's the worst part because you're cleaning something that you're just leaving yeah it's not fun at all and like we've had to patch the drywall and like it's just not fun i didn't do this for me i did it for someone else for a security position i'm not getting anywhere i'm not gonna get back yeah absolutely they're gonna take one look at the dog remnants in that apartment there shouldn't be any like rue was not a puppy at that apartment so like she was a good girl there so there shouldn't be anything there but i'm sure that they'll find a way to keep it so whatever it's not my problem i will never have to deal with that rental company again after like uh you don't know about the economic collapse chris that's true that could still happen you still have a mountain of debt uh well unfortunately the money printer is going burr so that'll drive down the debt if the dollar give me that stemi check but if our first story teaches us anything it's that there's never enough money to protect you from the future because the future can come at you fast and it can really threaten your entire existence and when that happens you kind of gotta lie a lot reuters has the headline facebook asks court to dismiss the u.s government and state's anti-trust cases the reason and i'm not even kidding when i say this is because facebook read the complaint from the ftc and they don't see anything that applies under current antitrust laws they're looking at they're like is this about some other company it's a bold move cotton let's see if it pays off they're saying they don't understand but they're also quietly like shoving some money across the table like let's just make this go away and if you want a beautiful example of lawyer speak and why these people get paid those insane sums of money at this you know corporate law level read what the guy wrote about the emails from zuckerberg that were clearly anti-trust violations because he just the wordsmithing it's disgusting but there's a beauty to it when he said we were going to murder her and leave her body in the woods what he was talking about was a friendly game of badminton it's like uh i don't think so that's accurate the ftc had no comment regarding facebook's response now facebook i think uh we've talked about this before i think even the people who use facebook doggedly understand on some level that it's bad don't you think so more than half of the employees understand that on some level it's bad hopefully yeah apparently at google they can't figure it out but maybe at facebook i don't know but there is one place on the internet that is just it's one of the most unbearable places because of the user base not the code or anything and i don't think those people have any idea what they are and because of that wildly successful in fact beyond most people's dreams reddit hires its first chief financial officer as it prepares to go public i think reddit's got a lot of the same problems that twitter does there's a lot of people there there's not really a lot of ways to monetize those people well this is going to monetize for some people probably not for the retail investors that pile into this this is going to take whatever value reddit is perceived to have create a mountain of debt and then it's going to become a game of how do we get back what the debt is yeah and that's that's all it is so it can only drive reddit out of business or but drive people somewhere else so that will take years yeah yeah it'll it'll be a slow decline as the site gets filled with more and more ads and it'll be plenty of time for all the current people to sell out and do something else start you you sell your shares you schedule your sale you hope it lasts that long and then you go to a startup you start a startup is that not the playbook yeah i mean that kind of happened with some of the reddit founders you know before now but the one guy came back the guy that's in charge now yeah he's gonna cash out and the other guy is the guy from mit that uh the prosecutors drove to suicide he's gonna double dip because he already cashed out once now he's back he's cashing out again brilliant terrible for society but you got to appreciate the brilliance of the move now do you remember not unlike our next story do you remember a simpler time i was thinking about this when internet vigilantism was mostly on 4chan and the media thought it was a bad idea because it is oh how things have changed citizen sleuths launched a slick new website to hunt down capital insurrectionists this is on the huffington post so it's almost like they're advocating this yeah i don't i'm you know i i'm very i don't know surprise isn't the right word but it's not often that you and i are saying the same thing exactly but this is a terrible idea and remember pizzagate yeah like why would you do the fbi's job for them well not only that but i mean this like what happened there it's like an onion with multiple layers i don't know this like when when shrek was explaining ogres and it's like an ogre is like an onion there's many layers there's many layers to that i mean there are some politicians that were like you guys need to come down to the capitol armed and you know be prepared to reinstate democracy and it's like if i you know i get it i understand but some people are gonna do that like they're gonna be like okay yeah i was like no there was there was a hidden meaning there was a deep no that's not what that's not what happened there's a lot of people really high up that are responsible for what happened so if you're going to punish the citizens you need to punish everybody and everybody who ride it during the summer yeah yeah i mean just wow so frustrating there's a guy that used to own a barbecue in louisville he died and he didn't deserve to die and nothing is going to happen because he died and he was feeding everyone that's not right and also in other news related to that event we have more and more stuff that is uh coming out there fighting in the courts and in politics to try and again single out anyone with involvement now in this case this guy was probably over the line yeah uh twitter sues the texas attorney general paxton claiming that he retaliated over trump ban they've already got some of i was like uh you know blah blah this is just maneuvering no they've already got some emails in discovery from this guy that are amazing the level of corruption is just astonishing and he is already under investigation from a 2015 event that was completely pre-trump for some uh insider trading some sec problems so apple might have already been rotten the apple is rotten no matter what color it is which is sad very sad like two internet bozos have to point this out to you it makes no sense chewbaccas are not from what is krista i don't know not an internet bozo i'm just a reader was this not an april fool's fool's thing at some point yeah remember that yeah that's funny because you know you wait long enough it just becomes a reality yeah oh yeah sorry twitter is uh is testing an undo option after sending tweets i didn't see that you hit the button i'm sorry um yeah so there's like there's there's you gotta show them the ui here what is there to say about this really like they took the picture out it was in there i remember looking there were several of them there's a there's a video you can still click on yeah but let's not do that it was basically a giant blue button yeah and then it has like a timer it's like oh crap choose now if you want to undo i don't understand well i do understand but i i mean talk about you know human frailty you can't discipline yourself to wait that 30 seconds before you click the button but after you click the button you panic and start making decisions yeah or in my case i make lots of typos and then it's just like i'm just going to delete this and start over again proofreading you have an unlimited amount of time before the click no i can't control myself when you talk about a live tweet well one example of someone who should have definitely used that undo button unfortunately they did not have delete not available to them yet but boy i understand what they were going for here but it was bad it was so stupid well the wording was intentional to catch your attention yep but they caught the wrong kind of attention they caught these hands burger king apologizes for quote women belong in the kitchen tweet it was a tweet it literally did say more women belong in the kitchen but what was it talking about it was talking about burger king announcing on you know women's day that they're going to offer scholarships for more women chefs in the uk because there's not enough professional chefs in the uk that is like the marketing people you know there's no such thing as bad publicity and the marketing people are like oh yeah we're so sorry but secretly they're like yeah now krista have you seen any of the new house that's not between the kitchen and the bedroom no no i i go nowhere i'm not even allowed outside because i'm always barefoot you will eventually need to clean it i imagine yes well you know i'm scrubbing all the time as is my only goal as a woman and i hope that since you've moved in there you haven't worn any shoes please tell me no no no no no shoes i think we need to return to uh you know architecture as late as like the 1950s 1960s uh you know there was a main staircase for the people to live there to use and then there was a separate treacherous staircase that was called the servant staircase which is literally yeah and so which one does rue use in that scenario all the service stairs definitely who's not been trained for hauling though she's not like the dogs in room world didn't rue vomit on some stairs recently uh that was at the apartment yeah it was a few months ago i seem to remember some pee on some stairs when roo came to visit here oh she was excited i cleaned it but yeah i used it she was a puppy she's gotten a lot better about it but when she was a puppy like any time any sort of new experience or new person she would immediately just like pee everywhere she doesn't do that anymore but it was a problem for like the first year the other question here is do you think based on all that does burger king consider their employees chefs that's the other yeah i was kind of like listen i could see this if it was like a nice restaurant but you're burger king like is anyone really like yeah i can't wait to develop recipes for burger king because you don't develop recipes really unless you're like at the very top level yeah they do that in the test kitchens yeah is it possible to have a restaurant like like so if burger king had chefs burger king would have a position that is not soul crushing in my opinion because i could see you know that being fulfilling well actually saying there are like you know a handful of burger king chefs at the home office but yeah it's not every individual franchise is like that though i wouldn't think remember that scene from breaking bad where uh the guy's eating the chicken nuggets oh yeah like that's where that happens not in the stores i even i don't think that would be all that satisfying because it's like you know i'm a really clever amazing chef that's learning how to use dog food level ingredients to produce something palatable but it's like your talents are wasted what if you had a real kitchen and yeah if you invent for example the mcrib and you watch it generate billions of dollars and your paycheck stays the same capitalism well hey in capitalism i would say don't work for burger king if you got talent go do your own thing clear view we hear a lot about clearview and it's all bad but they also just keep growing it seems like and they're becoming a real juggernaut lawsuits are no stranger to them and here's another one clearview ai uses your photos online to instantly id you that's a problem this lawsuit says this headline is worthless this is the california consumer privacy act stuff they can't do what they do without violating the california consumer protection act and this is not the first time we've seen this and this is going to proceed to court and there's probably going to be something that happens just otherworldly in order to make this okay because it's not okay and you can't opt out of it and more and more the cameras are just simply everywhere we have a hard time avoiding it and just functioning in the world and the thing about you know cameras everywhere is now they are armed with ai and we know how dangerous facial recognition is but the question the algorithm is silently judging me while i go buy apples yeah and the question that is constantly asked about this and you know the big criticism is how accurate is it because if it's not accurate or if it has gaping holes like you know skin pigmentation then why are we using it and one gaping hole that we didn't even know about before has been pointed out here and it's hilarious open eyes state of the art machine vision ai is fooled by handwritten notes so you can take a handwritten note write ipod on it and stick it to an apple and it's like oh that's an ipod 99.7 sure it's technically not wrong i like how that point one percent got it right come on guys it's obvious this one's even better because uh they didn't even need paper they put these on there after the fact digitally piggy bank that's uh i mean it could be a piggy bank i guess you took all the stuff out of it put the shell back together are people just going to be walking around with like papers on their heads to avoid yeah this is like the banana i was just messing around i was messing around with the uh the hike vision face recognition and if you've got a pair of glasses like mine you can just strap some ir leds to the uh you know like the side bands and then it's so bright it can't recognize your face it's like it has no idea they sell like baseball caps of course you're always walking around with really bright lights in your eyes well i mean the same kind of a thing you could just wear an ipod thing on your hat and it's like oh that's a walking ipod no nothing to see here totally normal that'd be funny if you're like the most popular brands of things it's like why are there a ton of harley-davidson's in the mire let's see a computer reconstruction of that event and that's just anthropomorphic harley-davidson's walking around they're in the store they're concentrated in the produce section for some reason so yeah the computer vision stuff has huge flaws and when you see a flaw like that and you think about like if text fools image recognition and you're walking down the street with something written across your butt terrible things can happen from this huevo simulated real world crashes to prove that self-driving cars can prevent deaths so it recreated the circumstances of a bunch of accidents and was able to show that hey if these were self-driving cars it wouldn't happen this is ultimately going to be used as a prop to convince legislators that it's too dangerous to let meat bags drive yeah and they talk about how most of these things that they studied was uh single car crashes but when they added the second car into it they claimed that the offending car if the offending car was a waymo almost every death would be uh a life saved they didn't go into detail i wonder if that was like coma for the rest of your life but not a death they just nudge the numbers well i don't i don't think they could predict with that level of accuracy i think they're just saying that my take away from it was that even if only half of the cars driving are way more cars that is still going to dramatically cut the number of driving deaths that exist well when there is a collision and you don't need any legislation for this when there is a collision if one of the cars is self-driving car that insurance company is going to bludgeon you yeah with the fact it's like well you were driving the car it had to be your fault yeah and that's we're just going on their word you don't understand i had a i had a bumper paper of a holographic banana that's the whole problem they're like no that's impossible waymo investigated itself and found that it was totally worth it and that you should totally invest in it the ai is like i had more than seven feet of clearance around the floating banana and i know that bananas can't accelerate that uh when it comes to ai research krista you point out something important and that is you know not only was google sort of uh you know grading their own papers there but when it comes to how we reproduce ai research do you think that google gave out the code for the weigh mode so that you could test this yourself no absolutely not yeah probably not and it turns out almost no one does when they do machine learning papers furious ai researcher creates a list of non-reproducible machine learning papers so scientists publish papers so this article says a lot of the time it's for uh conferences people want to go to conferences and present stuff they might fudge the numbers a little bit in order to get that out the door it's a pretty common thing in academia so theoretically with a published paper a reader that's sort of familiar with the knowledge domain that the paper is in should be able to take the paper the information contained within and recreate whatever it is that you did in the paper this person says they spent a week building something that was described in the paper it didn't work and there are forms you can go to and talk about this kind of thing and everybody that responded to him was that a middle bowl yeah there's a metal ball's back oh sorry that was him in the kitchen i think um the uh everybody that responded was like i've 70 of what i try i can't get to reproduce these just don't work so you're going on the naughty list now they're building a naughty list probably a good thing it's disgusting that like in 2021 you must question everything right yeah right the most fundamental truths are under attack yep and the entire research world we just cannot trust it the apple is rotten to the core it's getting a lot of papers are going to be like go to this github profile and type these commands in a terminal and then you can recreate it and otherwise it's not going to be accepted for publication i but who's going to do that it's so intensive labor to do that well the programming part of it that's not a big deal like that's the least amount of labor but the data set is what's problematic it's like oh i used amazon's something something data set and it's like well you're never going to get that so you're never going to reproduce that no but see they point out in some cases if you're doing machine learning research for google google is not going to let you give out your code and anything for that yeah so then what do you do you're just stuck you just produce a nice marketing paper for google saying oh it's totally okay don't worry about it here's my paper i mean they kind of do that although i mean mapreduce is the thing that made google and the paper on it is very good but you know the data set not all that useful well if you're the person who has to do all that stuff i understand that your job is going to be very stressful and unrewarding you're going to be miserable and maybe sometimes you feel like you just got to get out of there just go outside clear your head just take a walk but now there's a new danger involved with taking a walk only to your shins sidewalk robots get legal rights as pedestrians so if you hit one of those with your car it's your fault and if you you know are being aggressive on the sidewalk it's your fault assault people tend to just smash them yeah people get really angry which i don't understand but so i think uh 550 pounds is what they set the limit at and 12 miles per hour so i mean if 550 pounds fell off a sidewalk onto your shin yeah that would be bad painful it could roll the old ankle so uh they also point out that starship is this company who is kind of pushing for this because they have these delivery robots and uh they have had several that have yellowed into some water and some that just got stuck and like you know just like kept trying to turn and there's banging into something that'll be funny to see oh you're a pedestrian i'm not allowed to help you so let's uh look forward to more robots on the sidewalks i gotta think about around here yeah like around here don't you think somebody would steal that yeah absolutely i mean you're thinking that's not happening more and you're thinking well that's 550 pounds well yeah everybody's got a pickup truck around here and like six meth friends we have a problem with atms disappearing yeah so yeah that's definitely going to happen i found this atm and a concrete fault and uh when it comes to robots navigating themselves of course we're constantly trying to move that forward to get better at recognizing these things and that's what waymo is doing but they're not the first to reach the coveted level three honda launches the world's first level three self-driving car but they're only going to sell 100 of them because they're ultra ultra cautious so level three is even beyond what tesla currently has which is exciting krista what would you pay for a level three self-driving car uh not that much because i'm a cheapskate and i don't really care about cars that much yeah but what's your number for assault like a nice self-driving car i don't know like if you were looking at the car and it cost x number of dollars more to get it with a self-driving package what is that number i would think like 10 000 more i don't know this car is going to set you back 100k wow yeah also i love this photo of like the suit standing around the car they look like wax figures like they don't know what to do with their hands isn't that something they train you about how to stand with your hands down like that yeah to seem more professional because you never know what to do with your hands yeah i mean i kind of would probably do the same thing because like even sometimes when we're filming i don't know what to do with my hands but this is like it's especially awkward with this photo i never would have guessed that the uh you know as we inch closer to the uh knight rider kit future it's a honda yeah they were the first to do it that is surprising it's a pretty color that picture it's a pretty color card so they are saying that the limited rollout is not only to make sure that it works everywhere but also as they claim to educate the public because they don't want to get into that elon musk loophole because what they're saying is the only time this becomes fully self-driving is in traffic less than 50 kilometers per hour so when you're like miserable in traffic you just turn it on and go to sleep or whatever although you're supposed to be able to take the wheel back within seconds yeah yeah you're still supposed to pay attention at level three but when you break out of the traffic and it gets back above 60 kilometers per hour it's back to all you which is probably a better system right now don't you think yeah especially traffic up there well i imagine uh yeah what was that in asia somewhere right yeah japan so i don't know how the japanese roads are compared to ours well tokyo is pretty crazy engagement challenge the big microsoft outlook hack happened and we talked about that last week but we were saying i wonder what's going to happen with this well it turns out a lot because after microsoft announced it it actually hadn't been used that much but then microsoft is like all right we're announcing this this is real you need to patch and the threat groups when they saw that announcement they just just the throttle went all the way up they went after everybody at least 30 000 us organizations newly hacked via holes and microsoft's email software that's exchange if you're uh you know engagement challenge if you're an exchange administrator and you didn't patch how's your day going because the ransomware is already being deployed now that's in the us up to sixty thousand computer systems exposed in germany to microsoft fla a flaw according to the bsi so this is berlin a lot of people running exchange on premise because they don't trust the cloud it's a very bad day very bad weekend and european banking regulator eba targeted in microsoft hacking yeah exchange is a popular product and not one that you're thinking about updating every day no because everybody will scream at you if they can't get their email for five minutes right because it's you know it's critical is it though is it really i would kill not to have like an involuntary reaction when i hear my email sound ding on my phone well krista if you were to kill i guarantee you'll never hear that again it's not not unlike the salad bowl ding to the audience we should make that available as a notification krista what is your home security plan uh well we have a dog and also we live in the middle of nowhere now i happen to know a few things about your dog christopher a question yeah my mom swears that she's like oh rue would be such a good guard dog like she would protect you i'm like mom she loves everybody she's ever met someone could break in here and she'd be like awesome new friend you know we can test that i'll pop on a ski mask you set up some cameras just hop right on in well you might be lucky krista that you have not installed a certain brand of cameras because oh boy was this embarrassing uh hackers exposed uh a bunch of places tesla yeah tesla v tesla jails hospitals a bunch of people using these cameras it was one of the big tech companies too i can't remember which one it was yeah they uh uh they got their internal stuff was attacked which all this stuff phoned home but i forgot the name of the company yeah it started with a v didn't it uh vacata there you go so ricotta i don't know anybody that's using these so i feel like i dodged a bullet tesla well no i mean i don't know like personally don't know anyone so the tesla was a an asian factory it wasn't in the u.s and that was the only factory apparently that uses these but the jails and so many other places were using these and if you were using these anywhere you got compromised would be not unlike compromising the highqvision update server handy so watch out if you're running those cameras or any cameras really because just you know they're just not here also the other amazing thing about this is that they uncovered a very clear view like uh facial recognition system built into these things and some of these are public places where that should not be allowed and is not allowed under the california consumer protection act so or gdpr for that matter maybe we find something out there i doubt the one in china will be affected by that maybe because they're not using the official cameras from the ccp and if you are someone who likes to record your phone calls there's already some laws about that we're a two-party state right yeah uh no one oh really yeah i should just be recording all my calls then but i won't be using this app a bug in a popular iphone app exposes thousands of call recordings this app is designed to immediately upload all of the recordings to the cloud because it is insanely brain dead architecture and guess what that cloud not secure i feel like that should be like like apple tap security and like they've got the app the advertising thing for applications it's like does this application store data on my phone or does it send it to the cloud because this kind of thing should not send it to the cloud immediately or it should rely on apple for like icloud services for data storage not its own now this was they were depending on the calls the network calls from the page being fine as long as you were already authenticated in your app but somebody who was looking at that said hey the phone number's in the network request what happens if i change that and the answer was you get all the recordings from that phone number me oh great yeah turns out that you have to uh authenticate not just on your website but the websites that you're pulling media from i just recently figured out how to use youtube dl to get the kalturas that segment them that's a game changer and finally bangladesh bangladesh is a i think we've talked about them several times before and it's always in the the frame of wow the government shouldn't be doing that especially when it comes to the internet and technology and this is a big one but the crazy thing here is who sold it to them considering the socio-political uh problems between the two countries bangladesh bought phone hacking tools from israel what document show the country's notorious paramilitary force rapid action battalion was among those uh trained to extract data from mobile phones so the next time you've got a bill bar type telling you oh we can have safe law enforcement back doors show them this well technically it's not law enforcement i mean it is in bangladesh but yeah not in israel but the crazy thing here is bangladesh is a country whose official stance is basically death to israel like they totally support palestine and they make no secret about it in fact the guys from um celebrity this is the you know those people they were not comfortable going to bangladesh as jews they had to do the training in singapore to get around that and no one that didn't raise any flags i feel like we should do a separate video on this the feel-good story of the american dollar bringing you know hate groups together repressive regimes breaking through cultural barriers that's the the topic of that so a lot of people inside of israel a lot of these uh ethics groups and stuff like that are really trying to stop this but it seems like celebrate is just does what they want if they're doing this in the open imagine what's happening behind closed doors that's i mean just you got you have no idea it's it's just insane so if you are in bangladesh watch out because if they get a hold of your phone they get everything even if they don't get a hold of your phone if you connect to one of their towers i feel like that's just true everywhere now like if you're in any country watch out yeah i suppose that uh europe has some decent laws about it but whether or not that step stops the cops on the ground is another question yeah maybe in discovery after you've been in jail for six months and you get some discovery maybe that'll save you maybe not i doubt in bangladesh you get that due process well krista uh i you this week's goodbye has to be you know like finally homeowner goodbye uh put my pinky up because i'm landed gentry do you have a wine glass i do but it's in the other room for god's sakes don't go to the kitchen women don't belong in the kitchen you\n"
