A slow march to the end

What are we going to do as a society when too many people in the world are replaced by automation? How do we balance technology and AI with humanity?

In this episode of the GZ Chop Shop, we continue to talk about AI and how they are undeniably slowly taking over people’s jobs. In the last 3 months of this year alone, there have been massive layoffs from 16 companies, and just recently, CNET has been reported to have laid off 50% of its workforce. Compared to the other tech layoffs that happened this year, CNET’s case is unique because of the mention of AI.

Listen in as we share our thoughts on how these machines are being used by companies to replace skilled and highly educated employees to cut down costs and get things done more efficiently, and we as a society should be wary about it.

Has technology gone too far?

The possibilities of technology and its advancements are endless. From artificial intelligence to virtual reality, we are witnessing a rapid evolution in the way we interact with the world around us. 

In this episode of the GZ Chop Shop, we are going to talk about technology in general and how it is equally terrifying and exciting to be able to do things that we did not know could be possible, starting with the possibility of scanning our palms to pay for things. Amazon introduced Amazon One’s palm scanning checkout, which is a new technology that allows customers to pay for their purchases by simply scanning their palms. On one hand, this contactless payment method is convenient and secure. But on the other hand, this technology could be pushing it a little too much. 

Imagine all the things that could happen when this kind of technology is normalized. What do you think? 

Quick episode summary: 01:25 Let’s talk about technology in general 07:30 The possibility of having a parallel universe 14:39 Scanning your palm to pay using Amazon One? 27:05 Too much tech can take away our very essence as humans34:11 Conspiracy theory: this could be a distraction

Hello I am your AI

What happens to humanity when the machines that we have built end up becoming much smarter than us? 

In this episode of the GZ Chop Shop, we talk about AI, its effects on authentic human interactions, and its possibility of taking over our jobs in the future. We talked about our experience with using AI tools like Replika, and we also shared our genuine concern about the potential outcomes that could arise if there is no proper regulation on AI. 

Undoubtedly, this tool is fairly fantastic, but it’s also incredibly worrying because it might have a significant impact on how we live and conduct ourselves as people.

Pay the BIG bucks to Sony

Sony is in a tough spot right now because their PlayStation VR pre-orders aren’t doing as well as they thought they would. We can pinpoint a few reasons why the product hasn’t done as well as was expected, and we are going to talk all about it today.

We also talked about the potential of having interchangeable equipment, such as controllers, and how Sony is invested in keeping their ecosystem exclusive. Lastly, we did not miss the chance to touch upon Microsoft’s ridiculous price increase of their consoles overseas.
