Chapter 1: Why are we suddenly seeing ads for products we just talked about?

0.031 - 19.229 Kim Komando

We've always believed it was no coincidence. After talking about restaurants, a new car, or perhaps booking an airline reservation, your phone is suddenly flooded with ads for products you were just talking about. So were they listening to everything that you said? Okay, it was not your imagination or coincidence. Yes, they were and probably are still listening.

Both Google and Apple listened and recorded millions of customers' conversations. And they've been doing this since 2014. Was it illegal? You bet. After a class action lawsuit was filed, Apple's settling for $163 million. Google settled for $95 million. Apple's worth more than $4 trillion. Google, $3.25 trillion. So do you think this really taught them a lesson?

Sam Altman and Johnny Ivey are making this mysterious AI device, and turns out that Apple is actually making one too. Apple has a wearable AI pen. So you remember that AI that didn't work before? Right. Okay, now you're going to have it on a pin. It's a small aluminum glass disc that attaches to your clothing, basically an AirTag.

Chapter 2: What illegal activities did Google and Apple engage in regarding user privacy?

83.059 - 98.036 Kim Komando

It's said to have two front-facing cameras, three mics to hear everything around you, and a speaker for responses. And it wirelessly charges like an Apple Watch. And so they say you're going to have this super smart assistant right on your chest, Probably early 2027.

Chapter 3: What settlements did Google and Apple face for their privacy violations?

121.214 - 145.847 Kim Komando

And it's going to be like a live-in life coach. So maybe if I hadn't run for a couple of days, it'll say, Kim, get your fat butt off the couch. That's very rude. Wouldn't that be something? So it's really interesting to me what's happening in Hollywood and with artificial intelligence. I don't know if you heard about this, but Matthew McConaughey, he filed eight federal trademarks on himself.

Nice.

170.65 - 171.733 Andrew Babinski

So here's what he copyrighted.

172.074 - 173.678 Unknown

All right, all right, all right.

175.278 - 187.136 Andrew Babinski

He copyrighted that phrase? Yes. Which is interesting because he didn't write that phrase. Who did? The writer of Dazed and Confused. But he performed it. I know. This is like an NFT all over again.

Chapter 4: What innovative AI devices are Apple and Microsoft developing?

189.98 - 201.657 Kim Komando

We can't, you can say that. We can't say, all right, all right, all right. No, it's too totally different. So you could say he's raising the bar, you know, like Lincoln lawyer bar exam. Oh, that was such a stretch.
