0086: The New Tech Shaping Sports And Gadgets

A robot umpire that can overrule a bad strike call sounds like a win for fairness, until you remember how much people love the messy human side of sports. We kick things off with MLB’s Automated Ball Strike System (ABS) and the challenge mechanic behind it, then argue out the real question: is this tech protecting the game or slowly rewriting what baseball even feels like? 

From there we jump into tech current events, including Apple’s Neo MacBook buzz, supply chain pressure, and why “basic” devices still fly off shelves when the price hits right. We also react to Sony’s leaked ultra premium headphones and the growing “pay more for performance” trend across consumer electronics, audio gear, and laptops. 

Then we get into the job market reality: platforms like CodeSignal, HackerRank, and LeetCode are screening candidates before a single conversation, and a Python test can decide your fate. We talk honestly about what these coding assessments measure, what they miss, and how to train for them if you want to compete. Finally, we zoom out on AI tools and the model race, comparing ChatGPT, Claude by Anthropic, and Google Gemini, plus our take on the Claude code leak and why bots now shape everything from sneakers to concert tickets.

Robot Umpires Tease The Future

SPEAKER_00 0:00

What section that AI can never creep in and we have said sports, right? Looks like AI or some type of robotics is creeping into sports. Uh-oh, what you found very man. So have you heard of the ABS system? ABS. What is this? ABS is something that the Major League Baseball is tinkering with. It's basically called automated ball strike system, where it's like a robot umpire.

SPEAKER_02 0:23

As an occasional viewer, um, I'm always looking at that square and I'm always making judgments on the on the on the umpire or not.

SPEAKER_01 0:32

But this is what I get upset about is that the umpire has a camera on top of his head. So when he's bending down on the back of the catcher, he is looking at exactly how the ball is landing. Interesting. But unfortunately, these umpires are calling these games the wrong way that they have to use the EBS for. That's how messed up it is.

SPEAKER_00 0:55

We're doing like the tradition us thinking about this.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

Tradition is at the end of the day, we don't like changes.

SPEAKER_02 1:03

Welcome, welcome, welcome. What up, D Hustle? What's going on? Chilling, my guy. How you feeling? I'm feeling great. We got through March, April's right here.

SPEAKER_01 1:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:12

You know how we do it.

SPEAKER_01 1:12

What's going on, Raymond? Raymond, don't call him Ray Ray. What's up, fellas?

SPEAKER_02 1:16

What's up, player? I'm here. Always looking good, man. What's this new green shirt you got on? The summer of 1980, bro? Yes. Camp Crystal Lake. You never heard of the camp?

SPEAKER_00 1:27

What is it? This is Camp Crystal Lake. What movie is that from, bro? It's one of the best camps. Come on. I know D Hustle knows this.

SPEAKER_02 1:32

You gotta know it. No, I don't. I really don't. Uh-huh. D Hustle knows Camp Crystal Lake. He's laughing. What is that from? What movie is that from?

SPEAKER_01 1:40

You know.

SPEAKER_02 1:42

Are you gonna help your brother-in-law out? Do you remember that conversation about helping your son out? D Hustle's like, he can't even help me out, bro. Camp Crystal A. It's from Jason. Yeah, yeah. See, D Hustle gets it, man.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

See?

SPEAKER_02 2:00

I'm on the other side of that, y'all. I didn't get it. If he knew the answer, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_00 2:04

You remember when he drowned in the camp?

SPEAKER_02 2:07

No, I don't know. Oh my god. It's probably one of my scary childhood memories of not having my eyes open playing. It's like uh Jason and uh what's the one that used to be in the nightmares with the name of Freddie? I couldn't mess with any of those two, man. Also, I was terrified of the movie Fly, too.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

So Fly was way ahead of its time, though. Did you? No, the Fly Transform into a Fly? Yeah, it was creepy though. It was nasty when that movie came out. It was ahead of its time, though.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

That's too much for me.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

Now you imagine if he didn't get into the fly didn't get into there how everything would have been.

SPEAKER_02 2:42

Facts, right? It would have been uh uh uh an actual memorable moment, right? Uh but he transformed it into classic. Thank you for bringing back our childhood, um, especially trauma. Now I don't like the shirt no more.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

You got scared of Tech Sol Massacre too?

SPEAKER_02 3:01

Yeah, I don't mess with none of those. Not a fan of that either. Nah, that that's that my that's my wife type stuff. She she loves those type of horror movies, if anything, but nah, bro. I'm Haitian. You know why, right? There's many, too many stories they told us about voodoo and stuff like that. I don't mess with none of that. But, anyways, welcome to the podcast. If you didn't know, this is the Tech Hustle Podcast. My name is Bobby D. I got my guy D Hustle and my cousin Raymond. Don't call him Ray Ray, and we got a pack show lined up for you this afternoon. Um, it sounds like D Hustle is gonna drop some current events, tech current events. Uh, Raymond's Nuggets. He looks like he got three, four conversation points for us today. Um he's feeling gifty today, man. He's he's oh come on, bro. I know you was gonna miss it, right? That was a mistake. That was a mistake. Um, and then we're gonna have some insights around tech insights where I'm gonna talk to y'all about another um AI option that is uh in the news as of late. I don't know if you have heard of the word clawed, but we're definitely gonna cover that. Um, and then we're gonna have D Hustle come back around with some sports update. We're gonna have some sponsorship, and then we'll have some eye traffic rows. What do y'all think about that?

SPEAKER_01 4:06

Sounds good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:08

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will say that uh we've been getting some really good feedback about our show production. So uh big shout-outs to everybody, big round of applause.

SPEAKER_00 4:19

That's why we're getting the compliments.

Apple Neo MacBook Supply And Price

SPEAKER_02 4:21

Oh, because of the new sounds, the new sounds. Uh, but definitely always want to say uh we appreciate you tuning in. If you don't know or have known, we have been running a podcast for about two years. This is a little bit shamus plug before we jump in the show, and we have been running up numbers on viewership, subscribers. And if you know somebody that would have some joy, some laughter, some fun, following along with what we're talking about, share the link out. Um, and definitely drop a link or a comment below inside the the the comments so that Raymond can see if he's doing well or not. But uh, we're gonna jump right into D Hustle's uh commentary of the tech current events going on today. Um, we are still working on D Hustle sounds, so if y'all have any recommendations, send it over. We definitely he he he said I'm just gonna do it myself. So we're gonna jump right into tech current events. He's been waiting for this moment.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

Good morning, good evening, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Hope everybody had a good Easter. I know I did because I didn't do nothing. So it's always good when you get to chill, bro. Uh, Apple News, ladies and gentlemen.

SPEAKER_02 5:25

Wow, out the gate, huh?

SPEAKER_01 5:26

Apple news. Yep. So if you guys haven't heard, there's a new Apple tablet out right now. Actually, laptop. Uh, it is called the Apple Neo MacBook. Wow. It's basically a long story short, it is facing a lot of supply chains and demands. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There is a lot going on right here. So, from what I've been hearing, I don't know how accurate it is. This Neo MacBook is not the best, yeah, but it's selling out quickly all over because of their price. Yeah, it has it runs an A18 Pro Chip, as you can see. But here's the main concern from what I'm reading here in this thing here. All right, it says one of the options the TSMC is a premium ramp of U8 of A18 Pro Fabrication, which is unclear how much it's gonna be cost per unit. Apple may have to bump their price to Neo to make sure the math work, preserving is uh you know, healthy profit margins, but this could be removing from$5.99 and bumping it up to$6.99 each damn model.

SPEAKER_02 6:29

So the math ain't math, and huh?

SPEAKER_01 6:30

The math ain't math. Um I'm not too sure. Um from what I'm hearing, it's very slow. Um it is not the best uh laptop. Um, from what I'm hearing, it it's good for pricing. Yeah, um the the colorful is there for you guys. So if you like colorful, you know, laptops or you know, this is it for you, yeah um, it does have the a good chip A18. Uh but uh from what I'm hearing, the results is it's it's not working up to expect expectations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh so I don't know how it's exceeding uh their expectations.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

I don't I don't know either. I I will say that uh especially Apple being Apple, everybody's gonna run and cop one. Um but if if they're running out of you know supply for it on the chip side and then they're not even making enough money, um, that's definitely a problem. Um don't they have like a I think you reported before, like they have an Air version and also a pro. Yeah. Um but this is one level below that.

SPEAKER_01 7:33

Yes, it's completely low. It's like it's like uh so what 17 is out right now, so it's like uh a regular 17, the base.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

Oh, just the base version.

SPEAKER_01 7:42

Just the base version. You got the pro, then you got uh as a matter of fact, it's right under the 17E. Ah, there we go. Did they stop those e versions too? They still got them? They still got them, but you said it's right below the 7E. It's the basic of the basic. It's like one of those when you buy a cell phone, you see the one that's five,$5.99. That's the one.

SPEAKER_02 8:03

Ah, so it's more plasticky, and it's not like the real platinum.

SPEAKER_01 8:06

Then you have the iPhone Pro, which is like$1200, the Max is like freaking$1,500. Yeah. This is like the basic of the basic of the basic. Interesting. For some odd reason it's selling out um over here. It's the price, it's the price. The price is right, the color is right, looks like Easter's.

SPEAKER_02 8:23

Yeah, it does have some color scheme there.

SPEAKER_01 8:25

But yeah, it is not um, it is exceeding their expectations, but not exceeding their expectation, if that makes sense, because it's like uh, you know, chain problem with the demand.

SPEAKER_02 8:35

Yeah, yeah. I mean, at the end of the day, they're trying to make money. Um, and they may have not thought it was gonna be popping like that. Uh and and I actually see that it says that it has uh like GPUs in it, which is actually really cool because you can put almost run some AI on it. Um, but man, I'll tell you one thing. Um, Apple's gonna get the price right though. Definitely will. Definitely will. They're gonna make an adjustment to make sure they're catching that money. So uh just be prepared, I guess.

SPEAKER_01 9:03

Definitely.

SPEAKER_02 9:03

That's some good stuff, man. Appreciate you, D.

SPEAKER_01 9:05

Not a problem.

Sony’s Ultra Premium Headphone Play

SPEAKER_02 9:06

What else you got on your list today?

SPEAKER_01 9:07

All right, the next thing I have actually is for you. Oh, for me. It's uh so Sony has leaked out their new and um expensive uh headphones. Uh it is called uh if I'm putting hopefully I don't butch it, Calion.

SPEAKER_02 9:23

Carleon.

SPEAKER_01 9:24

Yeah, colion. It's colion. Wow. It is called. It is uh brand new uh Sony WH1000 XMG. Uh long story short, uh the price, as everybody's not loving it, is between 700 to 725. Comes out May 19. Uh it is more expensive than the iPhone, I'm sorry, than the AirPro Max 2, which is almost$670 for the Air.

SPEAKER_02 9:53

Oh, the the big, big ones that they make wow. So these are more expensive than those. Those are more expensive. Have you ever used those before? The Apple one? No, no. They're not that bad though. Um and especially if they're coming up with these prices, they better be better than that. Oh jeez.

SPEAKER_01 10:08

You know, from what I'm hearing, uh it's uh it's gonna be really, really good. Uh it's gonna be up to their expectations there. Uh basically the bigger picture, new headphones, what could be Sony's way of competing with the ultra premium audio space. Uh just let just last month, Apple Max 2 uh was announced for starting at$5.49 in the US. Uh this one is even priced even higher. So Sony may aim offering more exclusive for users willing to spend extra on designs and performance.

SPEAKER_02 10:39

Extra on design and performance. That is correct. I mean, I'm only gonna pay extra for performance. I don't know if you're paying extra for design. Now that we put a little extra scoop under it, we gotta add an extra hundred dollars.

SPEAKER_01 10:52

This is exactly what I'm telling uh you guys is that if like I was saying back when the 16E came out, if you can build your own with whatever they have, I think it's worth the money. So you can take a little bit of whatever Sony has, or for example, let's go to that iPhone just to give a cross-reference. So the 16E, if I can take the iPhone 16 Pro lenses camera, and add it to the 16E and the chip from the Pro Max to that, and then make it, and then you just make your own cell phone. It's like going in Bolet. You pick your own crap or or Chipotle, make your own stuff and then whatever you want up to your expectation. At the end of the day, it's still the same price. True. Unless you add extra meat, then it's a you know, yeah, pause pause for you guys. I don't know. I don't do pause, but let's let these guys pause. I'm appreciated. I'm just helping out. Uh so yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:50

Uh but I I will say, um, I always like that idea. You've you've you've pitched it a few times, is uh there is uh uh a market for the a la carte type design. So then I can take the best of what I what basically applies to what interests me the most um and ensure that hey uh I get a better camera or I get a better processor. Um I think I've always you know been a tinker like that, so I would love to have something like that for sure. Yeah, um, but but these companies they're also like you know snagging from each other because you know it's like hey, looking at the iPod iPod Max um technology or design, and let's go ahead and incorporate that. Um, but how do you feel about Sony? I mean I love Sony.

SPEAKER_01 12:32

You like Sony, yeah. I always like Sony, uh they're always good with their electronics, yeah. Um never had a problem. Their TV are great, also. Um, and then you know they make the PlayStation. Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_02 12:44

That's true. How about you, Ram? You been a Sony guy?

SPEAKER_00 12:46

Yeah, I remember back in the days, you know, like if you had Sony, it was always high end. Yeah. If you had anything Sony, but then like, you know, yeah, I love their products. Yeah, for sure. It's just that Samsung kind of crept in and took over the TV market. I felt like Samsung wasn't playing. I can't remember. Like back in the days, if you had anything Sony, people were like, You got money on the right. You got money, you're rich, right? But uh, but yeah, no, Sony makes good stuff.

SPEAKER_02 13:08

I'm just happy to see them still competing in the market, man. Yeah, um Sony, I've always thought they were a great, great product. Um, and and I also they're a Japanese company, right? Isn't Sony Japanese? Like, I don't I haven't I think when Samsung, Samsung is a Vietnamese company, right? Or or uh um where's not Vietnamese, Korean. Is it Korean? No, Samsung's Japanese too? Yeah, I don't even know what I'm thinking about then. I'm thinking about Mishibishi. That's what I'm talking about. That's the other Japanese. But I've always thought that the quality of electronics on that side of the table were always next level. Um so I'm happy to see them come out with something really cool, man.

SPEAKER_01 13:42

Um I don't know if the price tag is something I would get, but yeah, but you we're down to this beautiful world of everything is going up. Facts. So even if that shit is a piece of shit and they'll make it for like ten dollars, they're gonna push it up in the United States for like three, four hundred dollars so they can go ahead and make make a profit.

SPEAKER_02 14:00

Yeah. They're looking to make a profit. All right, then D, anything else on your list, player? All right. Well, take a look at the pictures that our video guy's throwing up there. If any of the devices you like and you want to give D Hustle your feedback on it, definitely put them in the comments. It sounds like next up we got my guy Raymond. Don't call him Ray Ray. What's up, player? What's up, gentlemen? Raymond's Nuggets. Well, what you got on your list today, player?

SPEAKER_00 14:22

All right, so I got a discussion to have with you guys. I know we've talked about this in the past. We're always talking about AI and what um section that AI can never creep in, and we have said sports, right? You asked me, what do I think about will AI get into sports? Or you're like, no, that's bulletproof. Like, you know, comedy is bulletproof. And um, it looks like AI or some type of robotics is creeping into sports. Uh-oh, what you found where you mean. So have you heard of the ABS system? ABS system. No, I haven't heard of it. Uh no, I'm gonna drop in my chat. Is that like a new part for the engine? Uh yeah, and Major League Baseball. I'm sure D. Huss will have heard of this. Yes. ABS. What is this? ABS is something that the Major League Baseball is tinkering with. It's basically called automated ball strike system, where it's like a robot umpire. So, you know, like the umpire calls to strikes and stuff like that. So apparently they're testing out some type of robot to do this now. Uh-huh. And there are some mixed feelings. Some of the fans feel like testing's.

SPEAKER_01 15:27

Oh, there's no testing.

SPEAKER_00 15:28

Is that it? It's already live. It's already out. Oh, it's out and like oh, wow, okay. Yeah. Am I bad?

SPEAKER_02 15:34

Yeah, now how much different is this from when you watch the game, you see the box, and then the ball, it shows where the ball went in. Is that so? So it's a circle.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

It's basically not a circle. I apologize. It is a square. A square. Uh, you the pitcher has to pitch inside the square in order to call it a strike. Got it. Now, here's exactly what this comes in play. So for people that don't know about sports. Uh, so let's say the pitcher is gonna go ahead and throw to a player, uh, to a batter, uh, and it's already out the box. And the pitcher, uh not the pitcher, the umpire calls a strike. Uh-huh. So what happens is you're able to challenge the play. Oh. So when you see the guys go like this, tap their head, that means they want to challenge the strike. So what happens? That's when that comes out, and they show and you see the fans going, it's a ball, even though he calls a strike, it's not a strike, it's a ball. People just like boo, yeah, or whatever the the rhythm the reaction will be. And they had to recall that that play. Oh, and interesting goes from there.

SPEAKER_02 16:33

How many of those do you get a game? Uh, I think you get maybe three, something like that. Almost like football. Like, was around there. Why didn't they use that in the World Baseball League three weeks ago? Like when Dominican Public got one of the worst strikes ever called in my life.

SPEAKER_01 16:52

That is one of those calls that it was an uh out. Um, it was a ball guy called a strike. Um, but unfortunately it didn't use that. So they're trying to implement that for next year. That is crazy. Okay. Yeah. But baseball is using that now as we speak. This is brand new. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

Well, yeah, I'm glad I wanted to bring it up because I know D hustlers are a big baseball guy. Yeah, he is. Huge on baseball. So what do you think about it?

SPEAKER_01 17:16

I think it's good. I think I like it. Um, it's it shows the how fucked up the empowerment um calls the the game. If if if it's a strike, right, and he calls a ball, you can the guy can basically tap his head and say, I want to review it. And they basically review it. And then I guess from what I was advised, you're able to uh you know, you're not able to lose that. You get it again for another time.

SPEAKER_02 17:47

Oh, like if if if you called it right. Yeah. Okay, I got you. Yeah, I mean, I I uh I I would definitely say that um as a viewer, uh uh uh not not as a viewer, as an occasional viewer, um, I'm always looking at that square and I'm always making judgments on the on the p on the umpire or not.

SPEAKER_01 18:09

But this is what I get upset about is that you the umpire, if you guys watch baseball, if not that's fine. But the umpire has a camera on top of his head. So when he's bending down on the back of the catcher, he is looking at exactly how the ball is landing. But unfortunately, these umpires are calling these games the wrong way that they have to use the EBS for it. That's how messed up it is. Okay. Uh there's a lot of bad calls, a lot of controversy going on with it. Um, but I like it. I have no problem with it. Um just call the just call it fair game. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:48

I mean all right. What about your what about like some fans that says it's you know they like the human element? One fan said it feels too perfect. It's like, you know, it's different from the traditional calls. What are your take on that?

SPEAKER_01 19:01

Well, traditional if the if the shit is 15 miles away and he's calling a freaking strike, you're gonna be okay with it. I mean, it's the same thing that they said just about the pitching. They they they the the pitching timing was a lot. Now they minimize the pitching so you now you don't have to wait 15 hours for a fucking pitcher to throw the ball. Uh they're making it quick now, they cut that time down quick. You gotta see you got like 13 seconds or 15 seconds to pitch. If not, the you automatically guy gets to walk.

SPEAKER_02 19:30

Oh wow, so so they've they've definitely introduced a lot of tech in baseball now. Yeah, um, and the AI element now is uh more accurate calling, which I I mean that's part of the game, in my opinion, right? When the referees mess up, that's what they miss a call, right?

SPEAKER_00 19:49

Yes, that's kind of what I'm getting at. Like, you know, in the NFL, they use the replay, but they still get the plays wrong. Yeah, like I'm like, what are you looking at? You've looked at that and they still get it wrong.

SPEAKER_01 19:59

So you tell that person, whoever said made that comment or whatever, you tell them like this World Series, his favorite team is batting up, the pitcher throws a ball, and the umpire calls a strike. Will you want to challenge that, or you just want to leave it as is? And then the after that, if he calls a strike, the game is over, your team lost because of a bad umpire mistake. Tell them to get back at me later. Tell them to come bring bring bring that heat over here.

SPEAKER_00 20:31

That's a fair question. Okay, yeah. What are like the traditions thinking about this?

SPEAKER_01 20:36

Tradition is, I mean, it tradition is at the end of the day, we don't like changes. Yeah. At the end of the day, yeah. Uh, we would like it to be called fair, but again, I see a lot, a lot, especially against them as against Juan Soto. When I'm watching baseball, the balls he's calling strike and is actually your ball, especially when these guys throwing these sliders and these sinkers that the ball is coming up and then it goes right down. Yeah, but I don't know if you guys ever see when the catcher catches, he catches it and then brings the right back up to try to get the strike. Yeah, that's almost the same routine. Now we don't need you to go like that. We just got that box, that EBS, we're ready for you to make the right call and call it a day. Facts.

SPEAKER_02 21:18

Facts. Okay. Wow. Well, I will say that baseball calling is gonna be more accurate for sure. Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_00 21:25

Um baseball seems to be being very progressive. Yeah, yeah. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 21:29

I mean, football is almost there too. Yeah, football is too. With some replay, but I don't know if it's there an AI component to it. Yeah. Um, we have to see this season. I think there's gonna be a lot more.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

I think it's all up to New York and football. I, you know, they always gotta say, let's call New York, let's see if they can get the call right. And at the end of the day, it's like how much you want to how much you want to want the game to go on, or you want to cancel it right here?

SPEAKER_02 21:50

Like, what's the parlay on this?

SPEAKER_01 21:51

All right, how much we up? Okay, we're done.

SPEAKER_00 21:53

Last question for D hustle. Are they ever gonna get rid of the empires and go with this? I doubt it.

SPEAKER_01 21:59

I doubt it. Yeah, I I doubt it. At the end of the day, it's you still need so it's it's a a dumb scenario. So for example, let's say we take away the umpires. So now if a pitcher throws the ball and if it's a strike or not, now we gotta wait for the ABS to call it is if it's a strike or not. So now we gotta wait for the thing to show up on the screen and all that. When the umpire is right there, he can just say, but it's the ABS is only if the call that they made is wrong. Yeah. Correct. That's all the ABS is there for. You know, if it's a ball and you call the strike, I want to challenge it. That's it. Yeah, that's nothing more to it.

SPEAKER_00 22:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:40

Okay. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 22:41

All right. So it's like a hybrid system, then you got the empire and you got the ABS. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:45

ABS is uh is uh it's like a challenge, yeah. Okay, I'm I'm challenging, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

Okay, but you don't see it replacing uh umpires.

SPEAKER_01 22:53

I don't see it replacing umpires. That's that's legendary. That's like and if they do them, that's that's crazy. I mean all right, I'm just saying you're adding that.

SPEAKER_00 23:02

What's to say? They don't creep in and just get rid of the umpires, nobody's losing their jobs or anymore.

SPEAKER_01 23:07

This is why I wanted to bring it up. I'm just saying, why have the umpires make a lot of money umpireing, studying the game, knowing the things, you yeah, you can't.

SPEAKER_02 23:18

I mean, they are true students of the game, right? Because they have to basically watch the game, not watch the game, right? Yeah, so I mean, I I don't know. You worried that they might uh replace them.

SPEAKER_00 23:30

I just know how baseball is so old school, and I'm like really like surprised they're at they added this because you know, I'm like, damn, they're being pretty progressive. Like, you know, it's like the oldest game, right? Yeah, so but I'm like, okay, all right.

SPEAKER_01 23:44

Yeah, that's what's up, man. Yeah, just I mean, now stop questioning once it starts saying if it from nine innings going to seven innings. Now I'm like, what the fuck is going on? Baseball's fucked up right now. It's not there yet. It's not there yet.

SPEAKER_02 23:55

It's not there yet.

SPEAKER_01 23:56

Let's enjoy. I mean, when I die, it probably changed. That's your problem.

CodeSignal Tests And Hiring Gatekeepers

SPEAKER_02 24:00

Decent, I enjoyed it while I was here. Okay. All right, my guy. Thank you so much for that nugget there. Well, what else you got on your list, player?

SPEAKER_00 24:06

All right. Next one I got here is one of my friends here um applied for a job and he got yeah, well, not really. He got turned out.

SPEAKER_02 24:16

Uh unfortunately.

SPEAKER_00 24:17

So, what these jobs now are doing, guys, is I want to drop this link in here. Have you heard of a program called Code Signal or a site called Code Signal? Yeah, I've actually heard of them before. Okay, so my friend um applied for a job. They didn't even talk to him or nothing like that. They send you this code signal thing to where he actually um had to show them that he knows Python. Yeah, yeah. So they don't even they don't care what school you went to, what place you worked at, they send you this link and literally you got a code or you got to do this challenge right there on the spot. Yep. It's like a little pre-screening thing. And he basically failed it, and he is now using this same tool to do some daily challenges and get his skills up so he can get his coding up.

SPEAKER_02 25:01

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:02

So Python. So not only just for programming, it looks like it does some other stuff too. If you want to learn some AI or business skills, so these companies now are not even talking to you, they're just like sending you this. Show me if you can really do the job. Yeah. So I kind of thought I was like, oh, this is interesting. So I kind of bookmarked it. So now I'm kind of like doing some daily stuff on it too for AI to kind of learn some AI. But yeah, I thought that was interesting that they're don't care what school you went to, how many years of experience, they're just sending you this and prove to me that you know this stuff. So yeah, he told me about this the other day. Like, um, he didn't get the job they used this to kind of pre-screen them and yeah, he failed it. So it's like uh so yeah, but it was interesting.

SPEAKER_01 25:41

I agree. So when I applied for uh Palm Beach Sheriff's Office uh there, they wanted to know if I was able I was expert on Excel, um also Microsoft, um, and uh also wanted to know if I knew uh as far as that accounting. Which is good because I was able to knock it out. Um, but when it came to the accounting part, I didn't know not a goddamn thing and I failed the test. But it it's it's basically it's them saying, okay, this guy knows how to do his freaking job, so we don't have to be on top of him. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 26:14

Yeah. Yeah, this this is uh a site that uh I've had mentees uh go and um have to go show show show that they can actually do it. Oh, okay. So you've heard about it and yes, yeah, code code code signal before. There's another one called uh Lee Code. Um and it's basically where they give you a coding challenge and they set a timer. Um, they also use something called hacker rink. Um and basically they say, hey, uh here goes the problem. You got uh 15 minutes to solve it um and submit your code in the best, cleanest way possible, um, and then we'll look at it afterwards and make a decision. Um they actually use it to weed people out because you know, in our era of computing, you know, how many people are studying computer science or how many people can say they can write Python code, right? Right. It's like how do you really interview people that really know what they're talking about, not just you know, um saying that they know how to do it just so that they can get in a conversation. Um I personally don't like them. Um, I think we we lose out on a lot of opportunities uh for let's say somebody like D Hustle, like just because they hustle couldn't answer X question doesn't mean that D Hustle's not a great employee, right? Yeah, like he can learn that skill set, we can teach him that skill set, and technically, even when he gets here, we got to teach him how we do it, right? So I've always felt like these um uh like screening um software systems were not were leaning more to um can you just solve a rubrics cube? Oh yeah, now we can you know interview you rather than all the qualities that people bring, like the interpersonal skills, their learning and development. And I mean, hey, uh you still have to come and learn the way that we do it when you start the job. So um, why does this have to be uh a gatekeeper? And that's what I really feel like it is. Um but jobs do use it. So you recommend people doing this or not?

SPEAKER_00 27:58

Because it looks like you are using your you are making your mentees or having them use it.

SPEAKER_02 28:02

Yeah, if that's the hustle. If if if they're saying if the so one of the things I always tell my mentees is uh learn the skills that the job market's looking for. Um so if the job market is looking for you to have this skill and you have to show it on this platform, you need to go learn how to do it, right? So yeah, go sign up for code signal, hacker rank, lead code, and spend time, you know, sharpening that skill. But I personally don't feel like it's a great way to represent what a great engineer is or someone's capability because you're gonna lose out on so many people. Um, but if that's the way they're interviewing, you better go learn it. You better be familiar with it.

SPEAKER_00 28:36

I mean, I'll I'll tell you who the friend is. It was Ori. So he applied for FPNL, yeah, and he got turned down. They used Code Signal to screen him out for Python, and now he's using Code Signal now to level up to kind of like brush up on his skills or get better on Python. I was like, damn. Yeah, yeah. So I didn't even know that, yeah.

War Machine Review And Moon Talk

SPEAKER_02 28:53

So yeah, they they're throwing this in people's faces, like they only like don't even come through the door unless you know what it really is. And can you actually really do it? That sucks. I mean, there's thousands of people out there that that say they can do it. So yeah, it's a sucky thing. Um because no matter what, when you go to that job, you're gonna have to learn how they use a programming language, it's not used the same everywhere. So um, do you know what variables are, functions are, classes are? This is what they're really weeding people out on. Okay, yeah. But yeah, I don't believe in it, but this is the hustle, you better go learn it. Yeah, all right, my guy. So check out Code Signal. Yeah, um, if you do sign up for Code Signal, let us know in the comments below. Um, we've always looking for sites that we can try to get discounts for. So if y'all are using it, Raymond will put out a request so that we can get y'all some discounts out there. So just let us know the utility sites that y'all use for Raymond. But it sounds like you got one more list, one more on your list, player.

SPEAKER_00 29:47

Yes, I do have a movie. I don't think I've mentioned this to you guys. It's been out for at least a month and a half, two months now. Um War Machine. Have any of you guys seen this? War Machine, yes, I actually did see this.

SPEAKER_02 30:00

If you are looking for a movie, did you get the wrong one?

SPEAKER_00 30:06

Or actually I have a complaint about the I mean, let me get my uh if you are freaking if you are looking for a movie with no thinking, uh-huh, no plot, uh-huh, you just want action and be entertained. Yeah, this is the movie for you. I repeat, there is no plot, there is no thinking, there's no backstory. You will be entertained. Uh-huh. Action, blood, murder, kill. It's not high intellect. This is the movie for you. War machine. Gotcha. That's all I gotta say. I was entertained. You were entertained. Yes, that's all I asked for. There's no crazy plot line. I don't need no thinking. It's just I was entertained.

SPEAKER_02 30:47

You was you was entertained. Yes. I I I I agree, but I want to hear what uh D Hussel's gonna say.

SPEAKER_01 30:52

First of all, shout out to the movie.

SPEAKER_02 30:55

I thought you were gonna shout him out first.

SPEAKER_01 31:00

Shout out to the shout out to the same guy the reaching. Yeah, yeah. Um but I kind of give it for the movie at the end, man. It's just not for me. You can say um action slash sci-fi. Uh, I'm not gonna mess it up for anybody who hasn't watched it. You know what? Fuck it. At the end of the day, uh, I'm just not feeling how he destroyed the fucking machine.

SPEAKER_02 31:31

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 31:32

Everybody died.

SPEAKER_02 31:34

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 31:34

Except for him.

SPEAKER_02 31:35

Except for him.

SPEAKER_01 31:36

And the only reason he figured it out is because the guy that was crippled will say, What would your brother do?

SPEAKER_00 31:47

So like I said, there is not a lot of thinking crazy plot. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:53

It just, you know. I will correct you. There was one other person that was a black guy that survived. Yeah, the cripple guy.

SPEAKER_01 32:00

Yeah. That's the one who said, What will your brother do?

SPEAKER_02 32:02

Yeah, I was happy that he survived. I I called him early, but he survived through the whole thing, which was uh amazing.

SPEAKER_01 32:08

Uh, but because he was cripple.

SPEAKER_00 32:11

Well, all right, let me ask the hustle this. Were you not entertained?

SPEAKER_01 32:14

I was I was entertained. I felt good about the guy. Uh, first of all, it all started off great. Yeah, yeah. Uh at the end of the day, I guess he's trying to approve something for his brother. That's the reason why he wanted to become a ranger.

SPEAKER_02 32:26

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:27

Um, and uh, great movie. Great movie, but put it this way if he didn't figure that out, everybody in the world has been fucked. Facts, yeah. So it's like, what would you call it? World ending. Uh what was that movie with um World of the Wars? World of Wars, yeah. Yeah, it's a done deal. If he didn't figure out how to do with the vents with the rocks, yeah, it would have been around deal. Yeah, he would have stood been trying to figure out fighting. Now, if he would have done like some freaking predator that he has to put some stuff on him and shit, they won't be able to because you see how they were scanning, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, um things like unbeatable. Like, how do you yeah, there's no way that's he was chasing them down too?

SPEAKER_02 33:06

Yeah, like I I was very entertained. I was entertained. There was definitely a few scenes, especially when they were driving riding away and they were getting away, and it was like, How in the world do y'all survive this? Yeah, um, and everybody else dies except that guy, and then the guy, uh the black guy got thrown out of the thing, so it was like, how how but at the end of the day, I'm I'm just happy my brother came through. He survived all the way to the end. Um, but yeah, there is some missing pieces to it.

SPEAKER_01 33:36

Walked him to the fucking finish line.

SPEAKER_02 33:38

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He did his job.

SPEAKER_01 33:41

We out there died, he walked him out to the finish line.

SPEAKER_02 33:44

And at the end, they made him go back out again. It wasn't even like great job.

SPEAKER_01 33:50

He's a beast. Leaping on the fucking helicopter, then he can't fight.

SPEAKER_02 33:55

What's his name? 81. Yeah, 81. Yeah, I was like, bro, you would have you would not have seen me on another plane.

SPEAKER_01 34:02

You just saved thousands of lives. No, nigga, you still have millions of lives. I mean, he's he's a beast though. Because I didn't know, I didn't know the the whatever the the robot was on every other state. Yeah, like there was more than one. Yeah, so they was like, could they hear, here. I'm just like, oh shit. Yeah. So every you could imagine how everybody else had died fast. Yeah, man. It's a good movie, but I just didn't like that part. I'm just like, fuck, it's gotta be something.

SPEAKER_00 34:29

I I said, you know, it's not high intellect, crazy plot line. So but it's a deep decent movie for sure.

SPEAKER_02 34:37

Yeah, it was. I I will say another thing that I'm always like um feeling about these movies is are are they hinting to us? Like, yes, they are. I wasn't gonna say something's not there.

SPEAKER_01 34:46

There's a lot of stuff that's going on on movies and that they're hinting that things happen, you know?

SPEAKER_02 34:51

Yeah, like I I I'm am I missing something? Am I still should I start to get prepared and and start you know getting ready for some some type of invasion?

SPEAKER_01 35:01

The US government just you know, if you if you look at the US government, they're they're finally just said that they are aliens out here.

SPEAKER_02 35:07

They they're they're slowly releasing this stuff.

SPEAKER_00 35:09

Yeah, yeah. I saw they just purchased a website to alien.gov or something like that. What? So yeah. Wow. Wow.

SPEAKER_02 35:17

Oh, what do y'all say about the um aren't we going on a mission to the moon? Yeah, they're gonna be able to do that. Yeah, they already did. Yeah, they already went around it?

SPEAKER_00 35:25

Yeah, well, they're there now.

SPEAKER_02 35:27

They're yes, they're they're heading out there still. Yeah, they're okay. They're not heading back yet. No, okay, okay. But that's that's also a lot of like speculations around that. Um, like well, first off, why are we going to the moon? Well, why are we not publicizing it more? It was like my son actually came to the house and mentioned it to me, and I was like, Word, we were actually going back to the moon? Uh why and what why why just find this out on the day after it launched?

SPEAKER_00 35:51

Yeah. I think Netflix is supposed to be streaming something. Oh, word?

SPEAKER_02 35:56

Well, I need to get more informed.

SPEAKER_01 35:59

Well, supposedly they're supposed to be going around the moon, yeah for it, and then come back or whatever. I don't know. Wow, yeah, yeah. I mean you you fucking we owe a lot of money, and the first thing you want to take this tape out and fuck the moon. What are you guys hiding in America? What are you hiding?

SPEAKER_00 36:14

This is like the first step on seeing what we can do to set up in the moon. But I thought we'd been there already. But now we're talking about like setting up there. Okay, colonating the moon.

SPEAKER_01 36:25

And only the people who got money are able to go up there. Yeah, like give me another lollibus story, anyways.

SPEAKER_02 36:31

Well, thank you so much for that movie. And it sounded like you you actually you know got got a shout-out from D Hustle. Yeah, it was a good movie. It was a good movie.

SPEAKER_01 36:38

I just didn't like the ending, but it was a good movie. That's what's up.

SPEAKER_02 36:41

Like I said, I bring good nuggets, man. Good job, Raymond. You've been doing good these past two, maybe three episodes.

SPEAKER_00 36:48

You mean every Eddie four episodes? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:51

Well, I will say, audience, let him know in the bottom what you thought about the movie. And remember, we check every comment. Uh, so we'll definitely follow up on you. Let us know that you or do you one of the two. Let us know what you like. Let us know.

SPEAKER_01 37:06

War machine. And another one's coming out.

SPEAKER_02 37:08

So another what?

SPEAKER_01 37:09

War machine. Oh, they're coming out with part two. Yeah, with that garbage. Oh, they are they were talking about it. Um I was like, uh I'll skip, I'll wait for it to come on Netflix again. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 37:22

I I figured they would have to. Yeah. They set it up perfectly. Interesting. Netflix, you mean? Yeah. What do you mean by that? Storyline.

SPEAKER_02 37:29

Well, because it there's still some more to go to it, right? Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. I I don't know. Could you go see see yourself going to the theater and watch it? No. Yeah, probably not. D didn't waste no time. How about you, Ray? No. Strictly, no. No royals, uh, three, three, what is that? Live 3D type stuff? No? No. Nah. Or what's that? What's that theater do you go to down in Fort Lauderdale? 4DX. 4DX. It's not a 4DX type movie. No, it's not.

SPEAKER_00 37:57

Nah, I feel like. The only thing for that is Dune and Doomsday.

Claude Leak And Choosing The Right AI

SPEAKER_02 38:00

Uh-huh. Oh, man. No worries. Well, we appreciate you with the Remens Nuggs as always. Um, next up, we got queued up. It sounds like we got uh Tech Insights with your boy Bobby D. Yeah, I hope y'all stuck around to hear the tech insights. Uh, we got a really cool conversation lined up around um, first of all, question in the room: who used Chat GPT? Raise your hand if you use ChatGPT, right? Right. Everybody, and if if you are at home and you didn't raise your hand, I want to encourage you to at least use some type of AI, and ChatGPT is a great one. Um, how about Claude? Any of y'all use Claude? So Claude is uh a new one that I've been doing.

SPEAKER_00 38:39

I've been using it more and more now, a little bit tinkering with it.

SPEAKER_02 38:42

Yeah. Yeah. So uh one of the cool things about this AI venture that we're on is that more companies are starting to compete with open AI. Um, Google has been trying to compete all the time. Any of y'all use Gemini? Yeah. Gemini is another one. Yeah. Actually, you were telling me that you use it just for search now. You don't even use regular search.

SPEAKER_00 39:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:02

I mean, you still are using it, but you're not using the search engine no more. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but what I'm really getting to is that there are at least three really um uh solid foundational models or companies out there ChatGPT, OpenAI, uh, Google's Gemini. And actually the one that's in second place is the one from Anthropic called Claude. They've been in the news a little bit. Um, but the real topic that I wanted to talk about today, Deep Seek is on the list too, but that that's that's the open source one. Um and they're supposed to be coming out with a new one. I don't know what happened with them. They haven't they haven't come back out. They they they low-key, you know, doing something to to catch catch everybody slipping. But um, I don't know if y'all heard about this new big article about Claude um where somebody accidentally leaked um like how Claude code works um in the background. Did y'all hear about that?

SPEAKER_00 39:54

I did hear about it last week.

SPEAKER_02 39:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:56

What you thought about it? Um, I didn't really go into it. I just saw kind of like the headlines, uh, code got leaked. I didn't really like dive into it too much.

SPEAKER_02 40:05

So yeah, I mean, I got the article right here. It says that uh there was a uh a scientist or researcher, a security researcher that stumbled upon a package that um or a um uh a comp like a coding structure already built into something called an NPM package. It's like a way that you're able to install things on people's computers. Um it's almost like you know, double clicking on an exe, but you just type in command. Um and what they found was the source code for clawed code, which is one of their flagship products. And the reason why I'm bringing this up is uh a lot of people that found out about it just ran to go create their own. So it's like state secrets, it's open, I mean um anthropic's um intellectual property, like it's a secret, like letting this source code go is almost like you ever hear um social media companies talk about the algorithm, like hey, nobody knows the algorithm, or is like imagine if they put the algorithm on the internet and then somebody found it and then told everybody about it. Is basically what this leak um has introduced. But the the the underlying challenge with this is that um how much do you think Claude would lose business? And I actually haven't seen them lose much business because I hear you're still using it, I'm using it, and other people are using it. Um is I don't know if they're just gonna brush this off as like, hey, it happens. Um but I just wanted to see what you thought about the code being leaked like that.

SPEAKER_00 41:35

How does that happen though? That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 41:37

How does it happen? It it's um I'm still waiting for a detailed report for them to release it, but it definitely sounds like it's a user error or an AI automation error. Um, because when you're releasing code to the world, you usually have uh like something called a CI C D. You ever heard of that? CI C D like continuous integration and continuous delivery. Oh yeah. So it's basically like, hey, as you're shipping code, it automatically gets released and pushed out. But when you have that automation in place, you usually have some checks and balances before it gets released so that you don't do things like this and it looks like somebody missed something. Either somebody added it or they did not uh pay attention to the So what is claw-who is Claude's competition? So Claude's competition is chat GPT.

SPEAKER_01 42:22

Okay, and uh I haven't used Claude, so I'm just trying to figure out what is the difference between Chat GPT and Claude. Which which one will you recommend for our audience to uh to start off with?

SPEAKER_02 42:34

So uh either of them, then the where we are right now, either of them is a good starting point. It just depends on what you want to use it for. If you're doing just general conversation, draft me an email, read this document, chat GPT does an amazing job at it. If you want to do more like coding things, like hey, go make me a website that does the XYZ, Claude is the better of them that does that. All right. Uh let's say that you want to have like um an AI take an image and uh enhance the image or remove somebody in it, everything Google uh actually does really good at those imaging. So it's almost like using the the AI for what problem you're trying to solve. But I always recommend at least start with chat. It's a very easy uh chat interface, and I believe Raymond said that it still allows a free account, not a free account, but you don't have to log in to actually use it.

SPEAKER_01 43:26

So if I want to do a bot, should I if you're gonna create a bot, I would use Claude. Claude?

SPEAKER_02 43:32

Yeah, yeah. I mean ChatGPT can do it, but Claude is gonna do it better. Right? Because it was actually created specifically with the idea that it would be a software engineer. Uh OpenAI's version was more um the idea like being trained to be a conversational uh a bot. Um and then Gemini has all of that, but they really do good at image generation with something called nano banana. So if you've ever seen like um Like some really good, like man, I can't believe AI did that. Most likely it's done by Google's um AI. So they have different use cases for them.

SPEAKER_01 44:08

I got it. Well, what kind of bot you trying to create, player? Uh, I'm trying to buy some merchandise online. Uh unfortunately, every time I go is always selling out. Oh, smart. So for me, is if I do a bot, uh, which I seen a lot of people for with a sneaker industry use a bot to get like hot releases. But there are like some merchandise as far as me buying as uh, you know, clothing-wise, and and oh I mean I can use it for sneakers too, because I just thought about the sneakers also. But every time I try to go get it, I could buy. And that for me, instead of me buying, paying over retail price, I can use the box and then buy regular price.

SPEAKER_02 44:47

I want I want the uh MSAR MSRP price. Yeah, I want the MSRP price. Not the bump price.

SPEAKER_01 44:53

I'm not trying to spend$200 extra just for a pair of of clothing or whatever the case be. I mean, I I love it, but it's I got to the point that I used to pay over retail. Yeah, but I got to the point in my life I'm like, oh fuck, if I miss it, I miss it. I I don't I don't care no more about it. Yeah, I'll wait until the next release or the next uh you know.

SPEAKER_02 45:13

But now you can get Clog Code to design something for you that just runs.

SPEAKER_00 45:18

All right, just to kind of bring this up, are you up are you not mad at the people who use bots that allow you not to community?

SPEAKER_01 45:24

Yes, I am mad. But I can't have to play it. I gotta hate the game.

SPEAKER_00 45:30

Okay, that's that's that's a very uh adult response from you. So because I hate that the people like they use the bots to buy that stuff because yesterday uh tickets for Dune 3 went on sale. Yeah, you could have used the bot. Yeah, they went on sale. I'm gonna go on a rant here. They went on sale yesterday, they gave a 30-minute notice, they sold out in eight minutes. Wow. And now people are on the internet selling the tickets. I saw yesterday someone sold Dune tickets on eBay for$999. Wow. Pisses me the fuck off. This movie doesn't come out until eight months, guys.

SPEAKER_01 46:04

December, right?

SPEAKER_00 46:04

Yes, yeah. They're selling these tickets for like a thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_01 46:08

I had the same issue with the concert. Uh, wanted to go to a concert, I couldn't get it because it sold out like in two minutes. I'm like, what the fuck? Like, how in the world? And then you see it on Facebook, you see it on eBay, you know. I'm like, seriously? So you guys don't want to go watch the concert or you just want to make money? Which uh I get it, but it is what it is.

SPEAKER_00 46:30

That's the aspect that pisses me off. Like a real human doing it. Yeah, okay, but you know, just some nerd got his bots get.

SPEAKER_02 46:37

Why he gotta be some nerd? It might be me, bro.

SPEAKER_00 46:39

Like if you talk about this buying up the tickets and then selling them for tiny. I'm like, come on, man. I mean, they're making a grip or two, bro. I mean, they're not gonna be selling it. Tickets are coming like ticket concerts now. Yeah. So if this is for Doom, imagine what's gonna happen for Doom. It's gonna be crazy. For what? For what? For Doom. Doomsday. Oh, Doomsday.

SPEAKER_02 47:00

Yeah. Because I thought you said Doom, and then you said Doom Doom. Doomsday, which is uh uh that's a Marvel game. A Marvel, yes. Okay, okay. We're on the same page. Crazy. I mean, I don't know. I'm I'm I'm I'm kind of like catch 20. Don't hit the player, hit the game. I get with D Saying, but I also know that as soon as that happens, I'm not going to go to the city.

SPEAKER_01 47:21

I mean, don't get me wrong, I did curse a couple times and then I'm like bastards and all that shit. It's not fair. But then at the end of the day, they're like, it is what it is. Yeah, the hustle. What can I do? I mean, put me in now, make me an account. I'm I'm ready. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 47:34

But don't you don't you think that it's on the ticket master side of the house to uh throttle that in some sense?

SPEAKER_01 47:41

It could be. I'm thinking that it it's employees get first um you know, advantage of the site or whatever the case, they gotta they they gotta get a discount also. Make some type of incentive. Yeah, sometimes. Uh but yeah, I mean it happened in the shoe game also. I remember uh perfect example. I I back in the days when I used to do sneaker that I that I wanted, I always go to Foot Lock or Champs like, hey, how many how many um how many uh you know inventory did you guys get into? Yeah. And they were like, Oh, we got 48 in. I was like, okay, so if I uh so how does this work? Oh, you gotta come first come, first serve. Well tell me one day I went, uh the guy told me he had 48. I go to the store, uh, you know, waiting line. Uh and then the guy comes out, opens up the gate, he goes, Oh, we only got 12 sizes. What? I said, I'm looking around, I was like, what the fuck does that mean? Like, what happened to the other 24, you know, or or whatever the case may be. It's all employees, employees are all holding it to the side. I found out that employees had their sneakers to the side, they're selling it to the side, they're doing backdoor action going on, and I was like, boom. So I was like, damn. So I waited out here for God knows how long, and then my size is not even available. There was a lot of heated people.

SPEAKER_02 49:00

I bet you so. A lot of heated people. But you know what his resolution was? D Hustle's resolution? He went to go work at so he could be the guy. So then now you gotta go through him because now he's the plug. He's ghost. He's right. He's like, I ain't gonna have this problem ever again. You want my W-2? You want my social, my bank account? Well, let's make it happen.

SPEAKER_01 49:28

Actually, I had that same issue happen to me with Marcus Jordan in Orlando, uh, Jordan's son, if you guys don't know who Marcus Jordan is. Um, so he had he opened up trophy room um in Orlando, um, and a buddy of mine was his right-hand man. Yeah, yeah. Um, and uh, which he was uh a director. Uh so I was like, hey man, uh these shoes are coming out. You got me. And he was like, Yeah, I got you. Uh so I don't have to pay over, I didn't have to do nothing. I just all I had to do was go over there. Two things can happen. Or I'll take the trip to Orlando or he'll ship me the shoe. I appreciate him pretty much because sometimes I'm not gonna go up there for fucking two hours. Yeah, yeah, then to come right back down. Anyway, long story short, uh Marcus uh decided to take my pair that he put to the side and told him if he wants these shoes, he has to give me$1,500 for it. What? And I was like, and my boy was called me up. He goes, Yo, listen, man, the boss said I can't, I got no strings. I mean, I I pull your shit to the side. He was like, if you want it, you're gonna have to call for this money. If not, you just lost yourself a pair. I thought about it for like two minutes and I told him no, yeah, I can't. Yeah, thank you for your time, but I do appreciate it. Yeah, but you were selling it for more. Actually, the nerve that he told me for$1,500 was fine, but I'm finding nine, he's selling it for$3,500 plus. Wow. He was giving me a discount because I was his boy. That was like, damn, that's in my mind. I was like, shit, I should have bought it and just flipped it, but I didn't I thought about it too late.

SPEAKER_02 51:05

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 51:06

But anyway, at the end of the day, that's that's how it bros.

SPEAKER_02 51:08

Wow, that that's what happened in that story, huh? I've I've heard pieces of the story, but now I got the full pictures. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now now I got clarity. Yeah, y'all need to honor your deals, bro. If you shake on it, you shake on it, player. Like Darren's like, I don't even go to Orlando no more now.

SPEAKER_03 51:25

Crazy.

Sports Roundup And Playoff Watch

SPEAKER_02 51:27

All right, y'all. Well, uh, back to D Hustle's questions, tech insights. Uh, Claude is a new kid on the block. Um, I would encourage you all to get familiarized with it. Um, there are different plans for it, just like on ChatGPT. If you are gonna spend some money, I would just get the$15 to$20 one. That's it. Low-key, I would actually invest$40 a month, have one on Chat GPT for$20 and one on Claude for$20. And I guarantee you you're gonna level up because now you'll be able to use them both for different use cases for them. Um, definitely keep an eye on this race. Um, I was actually telling Raymond the other day that this is almost like I don't know if y'all remember when Microsoft Windows came out and then Macintosh Apple came out, and then there's another operating system out there called Linux that nobody kind of knows, but it runs the whole world. Is right now open AI is like Macintosh Windows. I mean, sorry, like Microsoft Windows. I said Macintosh Windows, that's crazy. Um, open AI is like Microsoft Windows, uh, Claude is like Apple's Mac OS, uh, Gemini is like a Linux version, like Ubuntu or stuff like that. Is this new race that's happening? Is like what is the interface that we all get accustomized to use? And my opinion is always just be familiar with them all so that you can use them as you want to, but keep an eye on it, even though they had this big leak, uh, they're still a big player in the game. Um, and shout outs to them, you know, the decisions that they made to continue to move things forward, even if this thing was out, um, because it's definitely gonna heat up even more. And I'll be talking more about it. Obviously, I'm always talking about AI, but that's all that I got for tech insights, fellas. All right, all right, all right. If you like and you want some more comments, or if you want to talk some more about it, jump into the comments below.
