AI Platform Engineering Upskilling

Speaker 1 0:00

all right, welcome, welcome, welcome. This is bobby d, host of the tech hustle, and we're at episode number 34. What's up? Fellas how's everybody doing? Good feeling good. Good, the music is jamming in the background, getting our week started got our cuban coffee this morning.

Speaker 2 0:16

Oh, did you. What'd you get this morning? You got it too.

Speaker 1 0:18

I mean, yeah, some coffee with leche. It was some good stuff. Plus you got some pastries too, right? Yeah yeah, yeah, you didn't bring no nothing for everybody, though that was like yo, you forgot me kid, they didn't even make it inside of here, dude, I literally swallowed him.

Speaker 2 0:39

There was no chewing for sure.

Speaker 3 0:41

I don't even think you guys thought about me. Oh my, gosh well welcome.

Speaker 1 0:47

Welcome to season or episode number 34. We're not doing seasons, no more. Um, it's me and the crew big shout outs to d hustle, what's up? D hustle, what up? I have my guy d hustle coming in. All right, oh, the music's still jamming. And then we got my guy raymond. Don't call him ray ray, what's up with raymond?

Speaker 1 1:02

with his nuggets yeah, we got got some good conversations going on today. Let me give you all a quick show rundown. We're going to jump right into a tech talk that I have. We're going to be talking about upscaling in the era of AI and our forthcoming cohort, d-hustle, is going to be dropping some gems around, some new OS wear stuff, some solar eclipse things I don't know if y'all caught it yesterday and definitely elon musk that's a comment or two. And then we got raymond's nuggets with his uh two websites that we're going to be kicking today. Right, yeah, dive into it. And then d hustle closes out with some sports. It seems like we had some real cool events that happened a few days ago. And then definitely big shout outs to our sponsorship, because we're going to make sure we shout them out, and and then I'll close it out at the end with some call to action, some news updates. And let me just say it right now If you're not subscribed, subscribed what did you tell them the other day, raymond?

Speaker 2 1:54

Like subscribe. If not, you're a hater.

Speaker 1 1:57

Wow, this guy automatically calling everybody a hater. But we are looking for support. Definitely find us on all podcast platforms and definitely find us on youtube, because we got a new video I'm gonna talk about too. So y'all ready to jump into our talk today? Ready, yeah, yeah, cue up some music. Let's see what kind of music we got. Oh, we got the old joint. That's kicking it. This also reminds me of our, uh, an episode we got on on youtube backstage with bobby d y'all caught that yet? Yeah, yeah, for sure. All right, d hustle, I appreciate you bringing me up on stage. Uh, today we're going to be talking about a topic that a mentee of mine came to me and talked and asked me a question last week. Um, she's a newly grad engineer, um, and I'll give you a little bit more background about her. She's a new grad engineer, um that's studying computer science at, um, I believe it's University of Florida. So one of the Gators.

Speaker 2 2:49

Shut up.

Speaker 1 2:51

You know how I feel about that, but she's a student there and she's graduating this coming May and our conversation was really just about career advice, career development, what should she be prepared for in the industry? And I think the thing that she really just brought to my attention is is how much new grads and everybody are intimidated by the future of ai. Are y'all intimidated at all by it? I'm mad now d hustle said no, I'm not intimidated at all lazy, you know casual attitude about it.

Speaker 2 3:21

I'm terrified.

Speaker 1 3:22

D hustle said I got it, I'm good. He says my role and responsibility is good. What are you terrified about raven?

Speaker 2 3:30

oh, you know typical, you know standard, cliche, you know taking our jobs and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 3:35

So yeah, yeah, I mean it's. It's definitely something that a lot of people are worried about. And what would you feel in d hustle?

Speaker 3 3:41

I feel good about it, man, yeah, if, uh, if they come take my job, that's fine. I'm just gonna be chilling d hustle, said. I'm gonna be good regardless, be like that corona commercial, I'm gonna find my beach, yeah, yeah for sure, what can I do?

Speaker 1 3:57

100 man, 100. So this, this mentee of mine, she's, like I said, was very concerned about the, the error that's forthcoming with ai um, and she actually caught our last episode where we talk about, uh, that software engineering, ai devon.

Speaker 1 4:10

Y'all remember that episode when I talked about that um, and I was telling her about it and I was more or less just giving her some insights, and I really feel like it's like a public service announcement that I need to really make for those that are studying software engineering is y'all going to have to upskill? And what I mean by upskill? I mean you're going to have to learn more than just software engineering in this era that we're in, because AI is coming and it's definitely not going to be something we can compete with as software engineers, because it's just going to do it better than us. So this idea of what skills and or what type of engineering could I basically upskill with the new skill but also be able to be, you know, valued in an organization. So I actually sent her this article that I was reading. It was talking about an engineering skill called platform engineering. Have you ever heard of that before? Platform engineering?

Speaker 2 5:01

I have, I don't know what it? Is exactly.

Speaker 1 5:03

Yeah, for sure, no worries. And she had also not heard of platform engineering. I have I don't know what it is exactly, but yeah for sure, no worries and she had also not heard of platform engineering. But I'm going to quickly describe it and then also put a plug in for our cohort, because that's still going to be one of the ways for you to level up on the skill set. But think of platform.

Speaker 1 5:16

Engineering is an engineering practice around developing a platform that other software engineers use. An example so let's say that I want to go write some code today and, let's say, push it out to the world. Right, I would have to know how to set up a computer. I would have to know how to set up a, let's say, a source control. I would have to learn how to set up all my dependencies. I would have to actually have to install and run AWS or GCP, like. There are so many things that you have to do to get your software on the internet, and what platform engineering does is it takes care of all of that for you, and all you have to do as a software engineer is just write code and then, following the standards defined by your platform engineering team, such as hey, we use something called Bazel for our configuration and build process, we use ZooKeeper for our service discovery, we use Docker Images or Docker itself for our deployment. It's more or less an organization that standardizes how you develop and develop an application and also how you manage and deploy it, and the cool thing about it is that that skill is not going away. There are going to be platform engineers that have to be around to develop the systems that AI is going to write code for, but also being able to automate some of that stuff Right, and she was like all right.

Speaker 1 6:35

So, of all the things that platform engineers would be involved in, what is one skill that I know could definitely be valuable in that organization for platform and engineering and I was like yo as a software engineer, if you can learn the operating system and learn Linux, you could definitely level up and be a resource that is always going to be needed in your organization to develop these platforms and manage these platforms.

Speaker 1 6:59

So I was like yo if you're interested, we should develop those skills and develop those skills and upskill everybody that is so software engineering so that they can have these type of jobs. So that would actually lead me into a plug because I also mentioned it to our mentee, or to my mentee is that the tech hustle is actually creating a cohort specifically upskilling for the era of AI by teaching Linux operating systems to software engineers or any engineers in our organization. So let's get a big round of applause for the tech hustle. We're really going to be out here pushing these endeavors and developing skills at the lowest level and then building our way up. Does that make sense to y'all?

Speaker 2 7:38

Absolutely.

Speaker 1 7:39

Yeah, y'all interested in learning Linux and getting y'all feet wet a little bit. I think everybody's going to have to learn this skill set and the cool thing about it is is I'm going to be the lead instructor, so y'all know me, I'm going to be dropping gems and definitely want to encourage you all to check us out. Definitely this mentee, she'll be in the class in this cohort. But the main thing here and this is not like hey, just a plug for you all to sign up for the cohort, which low key I'm trying to get them to come through but in general, you're going to have to upskill in this era of AI, especially if you're learning cybersecurity, devops, engineering, any type of systems engineering, let's say cloud engineering, software engineering, data scientists, data engineering. You're going to have to understand how these systems work so that you cannot be one of those that is just, you know, automated out of your job by an AI, but, more specifically, left out, right, but more specifically, you actually having the right skills to continue to level up.

Speaker 2 8:39

So, yeah, I'm really excited about it.

Speaker 1 8:44

So, yeah, I'm really excited about it. Thanks for the big shout out there and definitely I look forward to everybody. If you are interested in joining this cohort, like I said, we're going to be learning Linux administration. We're actually going to be working towards getting a certification called the Linux Plus by CompTIA and then there's going to be some more opportunities to get more certifications. But in general it's a six-week cohort um. Check us out on our website, thetechhustlecom. You can find out all the information there and, yeah, I can't wait until I get a chance to do some more teaching and show y'all you know this skill set that I'm not afraid of ai. I'm not afraid of ai at all I'm ready.

Speaker 2 9:18

I'm definitely not raymond said I'm terrified. Have we not learned anything from Terminator?

Speaker 3 9:25

Yeah, he died and came back.

Speaker 1 9:30

And they keep coming back. But the thing about Terminator let's just put that on the table there had to be individuals, people that understood how the machines work right, and this is the skill that we'll be developing is really understanding how the operating system work that these machines use. If we all don't learn it, then, yeah, machines will take over. So if you all want to learn some skills, come and holler at us. We got you here at the tech house for sure. All right, all right. Well, thank you all so much for letting me drop that plug and definitely big shout outs to my mentee. She's going to be in the cohort. We got a few slots available still, so definitely come and holler at us. Um, and yeah, d house is going to host, host another course or two. Um on there talking about you know personal development, how to continue to hustle the hustle. That's another.

Speaker 1 10:14

That's another project, that's another project, and then raymond is going to be our mr public speaker, mr toastmaster, right, yeah, yeah yeah, he's going to be leveling everybody up but we got a lot of things coming up. But definitely follow along if you're not already following, so you can get update on all the things that we have to offer, because we're really trying to impact our community directly I even throw in some scrum masters, some, yeah, expertise just in case you see that's the guy the plug right, he gots it all right, fellas well.

Tech Updates, Eclipse Talk, and AI

Speaker 1 10:40

thank y'all for tuning into uh well audience. Thank y'all for tuning in to uh the audience. Thank you all for tuning in to the Tech Hustle Tech Talk this morning. Big shout-outs to my mentee. Like I mentioned to you Shout-outs, Come and check us out over here. For our cohort Next up we've got Mr D Hustle. What's going on. I heard you got some new update on these watches.

Speaker 3 10:58

What's good? Yeah, man, I talked about this last episode. If you guys haven't heard yet about the OnePlus, watch yeah.

Speaker 2 11:04

That's switching over.

Speaker 3 11:05

So now you're able, it's official. Now it's official. Now Wear OS you can transfer your data.

Speaker 1 11:11

Oh, that's what's up, that's what's up.

Speaker 3 11:15

So what I did is I've added it to the discourse so you guys can see what's going on. They even give you guys instructions on how to make that happen. Nice. That's what's up we want to go ahead and uh, don't have to buy Apple watch.

Speaker 1 11:27

You know, make it happen, yep, uh second oh, so this is going to be like a uh, an alternative to Apple watch, right?

Speaker 3 11:36

Yeah, for sure, I feel you know and then last, thing, you guys seen the eclipse yesterday.

Speaker 1 11:49

Oh, let me tell you, um, I didn't see it. Well, I hope you won't be able to see anything right now.

Speaker 3 11:52

I hope y'all didn't see it, but I heard I don't want to see, when I put it on my instagram, I see a lot of people with the eclipse. I'm just gonna have to fast because I'll fuck up my eyes.

Speaker 1 11:58

Yeah, you know just even looking at it right, I tell you that that was an experience, though if you just think about the era that we've lived in, um I don't how many eclipses can y'all remember? Y'all y'all have heard of I remember one back in 2017 we had one right, and then now we just had this one here so yeah and I heard this like another 20 years until the next one that we'll have yeah, is it 20?

Speaker 2 12:18

they said like 20, yeah, 2050 or something like yeah 2050 or something like that.

Speaker 1 12:23

Okay so yeah, did your kids get outside and um, do some score stuff no, no, I told him not to mess up their eyes. Yeah, for sure but my son comes walking into the house like he's blind and I'm like what did you do? He's like I just looked up. It's like, bro, don't play with that. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 12:39

You have to wear some special type of glasses yeah, for sure tells you guys not to wear, not to so. Nasa says don't take photos of the eclipse on your iphone oh and they say warns. Basically, from what they're saying here is that the phone sensor could damage, just like any other image sensors point directly at the sun, especially if it's using any type of sort of magnifying lens on your phone, so it can really mess up your phone. You pay a thousand dollars for a phone facts, what you don't blame eclipse I mean.

Speaker 1 13:07

I don't know if that's covered under the warranty play it was definitely wow, wow. I tell you there was some really beautiful pictures, though my wife called it uh live, yeah, this like images like this.

Speaker 2 13:19

But uh, just posted a nice video. If you guys click on it, my boy got a nice yeah nice. Uh, I don't know if you can play that through the group chat there or not.

Speaker 1 13:27

We have it here. We dropped it here.

Speaker 2 13:30

Is this your agreement? Yeah, click on that. He got a nice view of it. It's a nice little video.

Speaker 1 13:34

I don't know if this is a video. This looks like it's just a screenshot. Let me see. Let me see. General, I will say that, uh, marlene also got a really nice one on um from the news, I guess when it was going over dallas, um, or mexico, one of them where it just like the, the, everything disappeared and then all of a sudden you had this perfect ring around the sun, um, but that the other thing that's really crazy about these eclipses this is like one of those things that have me thinking. You know, like um, like the moon was purposely put where it was put at, because it's perfectly at the perfect distance that it needs to be to be from the sun moon to the earth so that the moon can actually eclipse the sun. Like y'all y'all not really like catch that in terms of like, how brilliant that is. That's pretty fascinating.

Speaker 1 14:25

Yeah, I don't know. It's like really just having me question and like where, where and what all this stuff and when does it all come? You know, where does it come from? Question about God, question about, you know, creative creation and stuff like that, because this is something like really amazing If you think about it, like everybody in the world can see this happen and everything is perfectly aligned. I don't know Something's going on.

Speaker 2 14:49

Yep, check out that video. I want to get your reaction while we're on the podcast here.

Speaker 1 14:52

So it's, all natural.

Speaker 2 14:53

So yeah, my boy got a nice, nice shot of that yesterday so he sent it to me. But yeah, it's a nice little video. I don't know if it has any audio. Yeah, it doesn't have any audio. So whoa. So?

Speaker 3 15:12

my boy got a nice shot of that.

Speaker 2 15:14

Yesterday he said that to me raymond, you, you're hilarious bro.

Speaker 1 15:19

uh, we got to keep this show rated pg bro, we got a shot of it yesterday, wanted to share it with my brother, all right so y'all got to see this exclusive inside of our Discord here.

Speaker 3 15:31

I have no part of this. I have no part of this.

Speaker 1 15:33

And you'll see the name of the person that posted it Raymond, with some good entertainment early this morning, my gosh bro.

Speaker 3 15:43

Back to our original program. Yeah, thank you. What's?

Speaker 1 15:46

next up D-Hustle.

Speaker 3 15:47

Elon Musk, elon Musk.

Speaker 1 15:50

What's up, Elon he?

Speaker 3 15:51

predicts superhuman AI will be smarter than people next year.

Speaker 1 15:55

Ooh, superhuman AI will be smarter.

Speaker 3 15:58

I was talking about your last segment.

Speaker 1 16:00

Yeah.

Speaker 3 16:02

About Mr Raymond.

The Impact of AI on Society

Speaker 2 16:03

Don't call me Ray Ray, he's going gonna be terrified yeah, yeah, I'm saying all right, so just getting more into this. I mean, you guys are not afraid of like all the deep fakes that ai is doing I mean it's, it's definitely um got the deep fakes of taylor swift. Yes, people thought they were real of her. You got aoc now. Now there's a pandemic in high schools where yeah they're like getting naked pictures of the girls and stuff and people think they're real yeah I mean think about your daughters and your nieces.

Speaker 2 16:30

This stuff is scary. Yeah, this is the stuff that I'm, not just the jobs, just this type of stuff that ai can do. It's just it's. It's scary. I mean, you don't even know if it's real.

Speaker 1 16:40

I get you and, and I think the last time we talked about this, especially when you have the same energy I said do you remember how it was when the Internet was first created? Right?

Speaker 1 16:48

It's like all of the things that, because of the Internet, has been created the bad things that happen, but also the good things that happen. Right, it's like we couldn't predict the value of what the Internet would have been when it first came out. Right, if we only focused on the bad things, then we would probably throw on the internet and the garbage and we'd still be using rotary phones and um you know so, just so.

Speaker 1 17:08

What you're saying to me is that you guys will not have a superhuman AI if they're passing them out, I'm going to get one.

Speaker 3 17:18

This goes back to remember the Y2K, uh-huh uh-huh. We're going to all die. It's the last.

Speaker 1 17:24

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 17:25

I was living that life, I was excited.

Speaker 1 17:30

D-House was like I'm ready, I'm ready.

Speaker 2 17:33

All the computers are not going to turn on and stuff.

Speaker 1 17:35

Yeah, we just yeah, computers are not going to turn on and stuff. Yeah, we just yeah. Well, that's what I'm saying, like we, we focus on the worst part of it, but hey um, what are the good things that ai is doing? Tell me I mean, in my opinion, I think that it's going to change the way that we live our lives for the best. I think they're going to be terrible things like in terms of like education. I think it's going to definitely level up education. I'm glad you brought up education.

Speaker 2 17:55

I just read an a couple of days ago where teachers are using AI now to grade the essays.

Speaker 1 18:00

Yes, they are.

Speaker 2 18:01

And people are freaking out about it. They said that's not ethical, why not? What do you mean?

Speaker 3 18:05

why not how?

Speaker 2 18:06

are you going to use AI to grade my kid's essay? Okay, like you're a teacher, use your brain, read it. Use the human element. What do you mean? Ah, use the human, so you're okay with the teachers just grading a kid's essay.

Speaker 3 18:22

Yes and no Number one. I'm not okay with them using it, but if that's what they have to use, to work it because, if you don't see, nowadays you're able to use tablets in school.

Speaker 2 18:33

Yeah, yeah, but they still got to use their brain to write it Still teachers these days are not getting paid what they need to get paid.

Speaker 1 18:39

Facts, facts. I just learned about one of my daughter's teacher and how much he makes.

Speaker 3 18:43

They have to deal with our fucking kids. That's their choice, which we're not listening.

Speaker 2 18:48

That's their choice to go into that field.

Speaker 3 18:50

I mean I praise all teachers, but you can't talk to them, though that's what they do, my kid has to use his brain to write the essay, but they're not using their brain. How did you get your degree. A teacher did not help you out with that.

Speaker 1 19:02

A teacher taught me all I'm going to say is, if you think about what the teacher is doing, they're able to get through more by using this. If they have 100 students and it takes them 5 minutes a student to read through them, that's a lot of time, rather than just putting it into the AI and then 5 minutes it and it takes them five minutes a student to read through them.

Speaker 3 19:17

That's a lot of time.

Speaker 1 19:17

There's a lot of things changing, rather than just putting it into the AI and then five minutes it reads all 100 students and gives you a report. Right, and they can influence the AI. It's not like it's an AI that's dumb. It's an AI that you potentially could influence on how it teaches, how it learns or how it grades. Right. It's not going to grade it at a college level. If they're in elementary school it's going to be like, hey, this is a student in third grade and they have difficulties with putting words together. Can you give me an evaluation of this essay? And that's it? Right? That's going to be the output or the input, and then the output is what the AI generates, what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 19:55

A lot of things has been changing.

Speaker 1 19:57

We used to do christmas tree on tests yeah, we do tests on the laptop did you hear what he said he used to do christmas trees on the test? Yes, I used to only pick c.

Speaker 3 20:08

You know a lot of things, I. I don't care, man. If they want to use it, that's fine yeah, at the end of the day, it's the schools has to pay for the ai.

Speaker 1 20:18

It's same for free yeah, I mean it's definitely going to be like they're going to have to use it. They got to keep up, the teachers got to keep up or they're going to get left behind if not, this is like raymond said it's not your profession.

Speaker 2 20:29

I don't know what I'm saying raymond said it was your choice it just doesn't seem ethical, like the article saying, it doesn't seem ethical that you're using AI to create essays and stuff, so let me ask you this you got to program it, right?

Speaker 1 20:44

Yeah, you got to program it and you got to tell them the correct answer, facts.

Speaker 3 20:48

So all they're doing is just like your lottery you put that in and give you whatever number it is. Come right back up.

Speaker 1 20:53

Facts, facts.

Speaker 2 21:04

D right back up facts, facts.

Speaker 1 21:05

D hustle's right. Right, that's what I was going to ask you like. How do you actually feel about an ai being programmed on your consciousness? I don't like it, you don't like it, no, so that you could be like 10 times more effective or 10 times more efficient I don't like it you don't like it.

Speaker 1 21:12

No, so that's what they're using they. They're using the idea, the concept of being able to take the way that you think. Like D Hustle, say, program that AI to be like you, and then that AI would be in representation of you because you've programmed it or you've provided input on how you think. So technically, it's only following what you define in the program or you define in the prompts. You still don't like it.

Speaker 2 21:36

I still don't like it Raymond.

Speaker 1 21:38

how are you going to survive, bro?

Speaker 2 21:40

I know, I have to adapt, but I think we should. You know, baby steps, Baby steps.

Speaker 1 21:47

How slow do you think we should go?

Speaker 2 21:49

Baby steps you got to crawl before you walk.

Speaker 1 21:52

I do agree about baby steps because it's only been two years.

Speaker 3 21:56

Isn't that what jazz GPT is about? Yeah, that's baby, baby steps, because it's only been two years.

Speaker 1 22:01

Yeah, it's two years. It is baby steps.

Speaker 2 22:02

So you have to use it but it's look, look how many steps it took in just two years and it's making deep fakes of people like anything could like turn the election this year too. You know all the, you know I mean it's pretty scary. So yeah, I think political or nothing.

Speaker 1 22:14

But no, but I think a lot of people always think of the the more, uh, bad part of the whole situation rather than the good part. Right, imagine if I were to say that AI actually saves the election because it's able to detect that there are a lot of deep fakes out there. Right? It's like hey, let's say that you get something in your thread and then all of a sudden, instagram, facebook and twitter automatically starts to put hey, might be ai generated on it?

Speaker 1 22:40

right, that's using ai to detect ai yeah, right, that's cool I mean that combats this idea that we would be unintentionally like, uh, persuade in one way without actually knowing that. Hey, this is ai generated and I'm being persuaded right. Right is, I think there's a lot of safeguards that should be in place. Um, but at the speed that this thing is moving, bro, yeah, it's crazy like, um, there's there's no way to hold it back other than them shutting it all down, and I don't think they can shut it down yeah, I really don't.

Speaker 1 23:10

Yeah, they're already deep in yeah, they're more than knee deep in, but just like the eclipse, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 23:18

So, speaking of eclipse, one of the goons went to the hospital because he stared at the eclipse yesterday. Oh my, gosh, yeah. I wonder how many hospital visits, yeah, were increased by yesterday my favorite day of the year is this day to see how many people went to the hospital. Oh, lord and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 23:34

I bet you if it was an ai, if it was a superhuman. But I guess back to elon musk. Elon musk is making a lot of production about ai. Um, him and I are not on this. On the uh, how can I say talking terms right now?

Speaker 3 23:48

um, elon you had a fight with him yesterday. What's going on?

Speaker 1 23:50

I mean, elon and I mean elon, don't be a check kid. I mean I'm trying to make sure you know he settles up on that before speaking of your former employer and elon I don't know if you read that elon is turning the corner with the twitter now what is he doing?

Speaker 2 24:04

he's gonna, you know, give these celebrities the blue check.

Learning Languages and Phishing Tactics

Speaker 1 24:07

They don't have to pay for it because the platform is floundering, so whatever, whatever let me tell you something about the blue check real quick. So I remember when, when I was working at twitter, uh, one of the things that they did was, uh, they tested out employees to make sure that they would not click on emails. It's called phishing, it's in cyber security, it's a concept that kind of like validates the human part of um, like, uh, breaking into systems. So one of the things that they used to do to new employees is they used to send you an email that says hey, do you want to get a blue check? Right? And it was like oh shit, let me click on this email. And then you read through it and it's like yeah, if you want to get this email, click on this link here, before some mysterious link. You click on the link and then ask this for your username and password. I type in my username and password. Boom, it says no access. All right, let me try it again. Username and password. And it says oop, you're in right, wait for an email. Tell me why.

Speaker 1 25:00

A minute later, I get an email from the it security department saying hey, um, did you just click on this email? Um, did you just sign up for a blue check? Because employees can't do and qualify for blue checks. I actually need you to attend this security class so that we can tell you what you need to be ready for. And it was one of the craziest things in terms of getting fished in real life because of the damn blue check. So it is a very valuable asset for everybody and for him to take it away the way they take it away and then say, hey, you can pay for it. Then anybody can do it. Yeah, it's weak, it devalues the product.

Speaker 2 25:37

Devalues the product but you know he's turned the corner. Now he's given some, you know news organizations and very important people the blue check for free yeah well so you got to pay for a blue yes, yeah, eight dollars a month

Speaker 1 25:49

yes, the house is like oh so, so that that's the hustle, huh so.

Speaker 3 25:56

I get the blue check and basically I'm supposed to be on top.

Speaker 1 25:59

Yeah, and that's the thing right. That's why it's like the blue check and technically, Twitter kind of invented that blue check concept.

Speaker 3 26:07

I thought it was just to say you verify.

Speaker 2 26:09

Well, it's verify, but you're important.

Speaker 3 26:11

Yeah, you're like a celebrity Even though I could be a nobody.

Speaker 2 26:15

I still be important Now. Yeah, I could be a nobody. I'd still be important Now. Before it was only for important people.

Speaker 1 26:19

Well, I wouldn't say important people. It's kind of validated that you are who you say you are, because there could be like 20 Drake accounts. But is that really Drake? Oh, the one with the blue check? Yeah, that's really Drake type stuff that make sense.

Speaker 2 26:31

Yeah.

Speaker 1 26:34

But hey, elon is doing what he's doing. Hey yo, if you're listening to this podcast, mr Muss, come and holler at your boy. I got a backstage with Bobby D that we're waiting for you, so holler at him.

Speaker 3 26:43

I agree to that man. I got questions myself. I definitely got questions myself.

Mr Muss, let's see if we can really talk about AI.

Comic.

Speaker 1 32:28

Con yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 32:40

Comic imagine you walking in the interview.

Speaker 3 32:41

And then the other person has one yeah, cleon is coming out off the rip, exactly right.

Speaker 2 32:44

Yeah, that'll be fired up oh my gosh, yeah, so all right, so we got.

Speaker 1 32:49

Uh well, what is the dual lingo?

Speaker 2 32:51

dual lingo. Check it out, guys. Yeah, if you want to learn any language for free so including cling on.

Speaker 1 32:55

All right, what's up next, raymond?

Speaker 2 32:57

uh, final one is you know, we're always seeing the news about people getting hacked and stuff like that. Um, we have a million and million passwords how do you guys?

Speaker 1 33:06

save your passwords or keep track of them, bobby man, passwords are probably like, uh, the worst thing ever created in my opinion, bro. Um, because I don't know if you have a parent, but I have an in-law, um, and she never remembers passwords. Um, she writes them down everywhere on papers, um, and actually don't ever remember to look at them and then ask me to reset the password for her every time.

Speaker 3 33:31

Um, it's, it's probably shout out to that lady that's my mom's let's get the shit out right now. It's my mother. She's old school mentality, all right.

Speaker 2 33:44

It's all right. I love you, bernie. Yeah, wow, all right.

Speaker 1 33:48

So passwords have been the death to me, bro. Like seriously, If you're not using a password.

Speaker 3 33:53

Old school mentality, yeah, mentality, yeah, no matter what. She won't even put it on her phone yeah, wow, okay, well, um, that's interesting.

Speaker 2 33:59

I don't know if the solution would help her out. I mean, I think it works, okay, you just have to know where the passwords is. That if you're writing on the piece of paper, put it somewhere, store.

Password Management Tools

Speaker 2 34:09

Yeah, this would definitely be better than the paper, so maybe this would help her out. So, like, yeah, I'm trying to teach my kids on how to, like you, know their passwords for their iPads and the websites that they use. I immediately forced them to document it. So I make them go into Google Drive Maybe it's not the most efficient way, but they have a document in there called passwords and you need to protect it. But I have them document literally everything. I make them go ahead and write the website username, password.

Speaker 1 34:37

You're teaching them well, right. So I I'm trying, but there's a better tool that we could use, a better tool that we can use. What is the tool?

Speaker 2 34:45

there's a tool here. It's called bit warden, so it is one of the more commonly used websites or apps out there. It is a necessity if you have a million passwords 100 so they have a free and personal use. If you're going to use it for personal use, you have unlimited passwords and unlimited accounts you can put on there and it's more than enough for anybody. The passwords and your stuff is completely encrypted. The people at bitwarden cannot see or read any of your information so it's a password manager.

Speaker 2 35:17

It it's called Bitwarden. Yeah, it's compatible across all platforms Linux, apple, windows. Check it out. If you have a problem like your mother-in-law, you know writing passwords down on a piece of paper, this could be a solution for her, where it captures all your passwords for you.

Speaker 3 35:33

So Bitwarden, it's free. I think it's a good plug, a good gem, but I think some people have to take the initiative to write these things down, slash, you'll put it in there, Because nine times out of ten a lot of people save their passwords on their phones and then forget the password.

Speaker 1 35:49

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 35:51

For sure, I would definitely like it's just an app, you download it.

Speaker 1 35:55

Yeah, it'll help you out a lot. Yeah, I would definitely say it's like just don't forget this password, that's true, you're screwed.

Speaker 2 36:03

If you forget this password, then, yeah, there's no help for you. Don't forget this password, right? Yeah, there's no help for you, so yeah.

Speaker 1 36:08

And then, after you get this password, then you can store all your passwords. And yeah, you are right, raymond, password managers are basically the way to go, because they can generate really lengthy passwords, randomize, and the way that I like to teach people, especially when we start talking about password management, is actually you shouldn't know the password, you should only know one password, correct One password, which is the password manager Yep.

Speaker 1 36:33

That's what I have, yeah, and there's other password managers out there and I kind of put a plug in there for one password being one of them.

Speaker 3 36:39

Oh OK, Last pass is another one.

Speaker 2 36:40

Last pass.

Speaker 1 36:41

And then the one that you dropped here what is called again?

Speaker 2 36:44

Bit Warden.

Speaker 1 36:45

Bit Warden is really really like. If you're not already using a password manager, definitely enable it. How do you feel about the password manager on your iPhone, though, Because you know we got a password manager there?

Speaker 2 36:55

We do that. One's pretty good. Actually, you know you have to. It's pretty good, but sometimes, like, if you don't update the password, then you know Apple's still using your old password. So that is kind of the thing you have to update the password within Apple if you update it on the website, so it's pretty good, though, actually.

Speaker 1 37:12

Yeah.

Speaker 2 37:22

But this one is more cross-platform, so you can carry it, not just from your iphone. Yeah, you can use your laptop to your workstation. You can use it on multiple devices, unlimited passwords, unlimited devices. So, yeah, this is better than apple, so you can use it across platforms, like I said. So, yeah, that's what's up. That's what's up.

Speaker 1 37:29

Well, thank you for that nugget, raymond, and of course, if you are looking for a password manager, bit warden is, uh, definitely something we're going to have posted out there. Now, raymond, um and I'm going to talk to whoever owns bit warden and um, dual lingo. My guy is giving y'all some free promotion here. If, if y'all didn't know how well we do on this station here called the tech hustle podcast, um, y'all need to start sending us checks, free access to this stuff, because we out here promoting your stuff off rip. So thank you, raymond, for making a plug, and you Bitwarden and Duolingo, the other one, holla at your boy D Hustle's here. He got it, he sponsorships and all that stuff. We'll make sure it happens.

Speaker 1 38:11

Sounds good I like it, I like it. Send us a check or two. All right, fellas, raymond. Again, thank you so much for them, nuggets. Uh, very much appreciate it. Uh, and we're going to jump right into our final section over here. We're going to talk about some current event, sports, what's up?
