I mean, isn't it? I mean, it's just, it's actually crazy. All day and all night. And we're going to start with the Magnificent Seven.
that was the term given to the seven most powerful tech companies these are the movers and shakers they can make or break wall street on any given day now the seven alphabet amazon apple meta formerly facebook do we have to keep saying that no uh microsoft nvidia and tesla so here's what happened
Apple came out, remember with all those ads, our new iPhones are going to have the best artificial intelligence ever. Of course, Apple AI. It's going to be amazing.
Chapter 5: How do scammers create fake identities and relationships?
It's going to change your world. It's going to give you more hair, make your thighs thinner, and you're going to make more money than ever. And then it came out. And what would your review be of that in one word?
Well, I got in on the beta testing. Okay. And then I never beta tested it because I never used it.
Chapter 6: What types of scams do victims face after establishing a relationship?
Okay.
and i have tried to use it without fail because i am the the hopeless optimist when it comes to tech i'm always thinking you know maybe that next update is going to do it but even this morning i'm driving in and i wanted to ask what it what time is the sunset today because i was trying to figure out if i get home can i go for a run right i don't like to run in the dark okay
And it lights up and it teases you. It's like, oh, I'm going to give you the answer. And then it just evaporates.
So back to the Magnificent Seven. Do you know, on my phone, when I do that in the car, it says, I can't answer that, but if you want to connect ChatGPT to me, then I can.
Well, you know, they were going to do a deal with ChatGPT, but this past week, I think they actually said they're going to do using Google's AI. But now Apple's still huge, but they're not driving the market. Meta, the Metaverse, they lost over $70 billion. Ooh, is that a lot? Yeah. How do you lose $70 billion?

So Meta's out.

Chapter 7: What should you do if you suspect a romance scam?
Nobody's really buying anymore. When we talked about this earlier, I said to you, I was like, well, Facebook's still relevant and marketplace and all this stuff. And then you said something that was really important is they don't innovate.
Chapter 8: What tech products are recommended for safety this Valentine's Day?
