 The reason I'm late it we're live. Do you want to tell the reason you're late? I Want to tell the the the reason The the what's not a reason that I'm late. Oh Not late at all. You've been here the whole time as far as yours. No Yeah, yes, okay, but we're all that I forgot is basically what I was gonna say. Oh, yeah No, I would assume not I just assumed you're asleep Okay, here we go. It's December 31st New Year's Eve. Oh, yeah Daily Tech news show is brought to you by me you're welcome But it's also brought to you by over 4,000 other people who also find some value in it every day If you listen for the next 30 minutes and get even a little bit of value out of it yourself consider going to patreon.com and searching for Daily Tech news show and giving some value back Now roll that beautiful theme music This is the Daily Tech news show for Thursday, December 31st the last day of 2015 Really is I'm Tom Merritt and joining me today is everybody We've got Darren kitchen from hack 5.org. How's it going brother? Oh, so good to be here So excited about the amazing announcements that we just recently made or didn't I Ever may not have gone We're gonna be doing our prediction show Jenny Josephson is here You've got a prediction and you you had the highest percentage for last year Yes, and I'm gonna make sure I have an even higher percentage. I'm going all or nothing with one prediction this year Oh, Justin Robert Young is here. I'm trying to convince him to play just for the love of the game Okay, man. Yeah, no, man. I'm all about the money I The same same fee as usual That's good It's Len Peralta is here You're gonna illustrate and you even have brought a prediction yourself, right? I did I brought maybe a few predictions We'll see how it goes Patrick. Beja is here Which because it's December 31st and it's past midnight where he is that means he's in the future Happy new year Usually am in the future when I joined the show which is in the past However, I am in the future so I can tell you that my predictions suck Wow already already slagging his own predictions there Scott Johnson is here as well You already had no you're only an hour behind. You're fine. Yeah, I'm barely in the future man Tiny bit leak at this point, but yeah, thanks for having me. I'm happy to be and Veronica Belmont also just playing it for the love of the game Right. Oh, yeah, I'm on Hawaii time right now. So that's actually That's your we're both in Hawaii right now You know, we use some really really good screen screen technology to make these predictions, but I'm I'm feeling good I was not I don't believe I did the prediction show last year. So I think this is my first one Yes, well, it's your first DTNS one although you are og predictions from the very first buzz out loud Prediction show. That's right. So you you're like the alpha and omega of our predictions show span. Best. Remember that bitches You have one take away from this prediction show, that's it Well, if that's the case we should start with your predictions We one or two per person if you just can't stop yourself with three That's fine, but we want to we want to keep it moving for people to get into their new year celebration So go ahead Veronica lay it on us. What's gonna happen in 2016? Okay, I am going to say that VR continues its head first Stroll into the mainstream, but specifically it fixes my motion follows a problem. Yes Fixes the motion sickness. I like it Yeah, I think there's already been a lot of strides towards that area But I think that is going to be the big decider for a lot of people particularly for other females who tend to have those Kinds of issues more than the gentlemen do So I'm very much looking forward to that being solved so I can really get into the The lifestyle of being totally immersed in in my gaming and entertainment media Hmm, I think the the current models basically have it figured out then it comes to the type of already because Okay, no, no, I think the the the HTC one is what I've heard gets it best But but other than that I think you're still You're still looking at just that little 1% that can adds up It's like a pebble in your shoe and if you are more sensitive to it Then it just it compounds the longer that you're doing it Which is a problem when you want to be fully immersed. Mm-hmm. I did a wonderful though. Go ahead But the PlayStation VR I tried was had so little latency that basically it negated the Motionist sickness, but I didn't try it for too long So and don't forget it is it does as I mentioned tend to happen to women more than men It's just something about our biology and some something about the way that we're we are dealing with motion and then sitting in one place or So it's it's the Dana Boyd has a great article about it But yeah, it does tend to be women more than men So if they can solve it for the lady folk, I'd be I'd be thrilled ladies be dizzy. Am I right? But they're using VR often yes All right, should I keep going? Yeah, go ahead. What's your number two? Can I reform that one actually because I have a prediction about VR that kind of goes along sure? Yeah, yeah, go ahead once Veronica's prediction comes true and VR is solved and it's ubiquitous I feel like we're going to see a ton of new hardware software Ecosystems everybody vying for the platform is that's where all the money is But mostly I feel like we will see the emergence of kind of like hybrid not quite game Not quite movie entertainment products that the could be best described as akin to like a Star Trek hollow novel And we'll also see better hardware emerge to take 360 degree Virtual reality videos or something along those lines a little more consumer friendly maybe yeah, definitely and This is the big thing about it though It's once we've passed that hurdle in 2016 I feel like we may in fact see the first ever Intellectual property lawsuit regarding VR And I think it could be something as innocuous as like a DMCA takedown Imagine like a guest at Disneyland is recording Pirates of the Caribbean or the haunted mansion And they post it on YouTube VR or Facebook VR or I feel like it could be something a lot bigger and Patrick you're gonna have to help me out here like imagine the Society day exploitation Dila tour I fell did I get the right? Yeah, so she had an exploitation of that or a failure Which is the intellectual property of the Eiffel Tower which apparently the Eiffel Tower itself is fine You can use the pictures and everything but the lighting is not and the lighting you have to license So basically if you're using it at night You have to license it because the lighting was designed by You know company or whatever it's actually IP protected so yeah, so I feel like if like a Tourist took like a VR video of an Eiffel Tower tour at night and that went viral We could see something like that ultimately I feel like what it comes down to is Corporations like Disneyland would be able to argue that since VR is Almost as good as the real thing churros not withstanding that The unauthorized VR experiences of their properties could actually cause real-world damages in lost ticket revenue I like that a lot. I think that that's I I would put my head my coin in that hat I'll sit there and would your prediction be accurately interpreted as Two part which is we will see entertainment like merged entertainment products like the Star Trek hollow novel and The first-ever IP lawsuit recording VR. Yes, it's kind of like a two-fer. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I think we'll see the lawsuits I don't think you'll actually see lost ticket revenue because someone decided. Hey VR. How do you say it Eiffel Tower Eiffel Tower? Yeah, it's evil tower Veronica what's your tower sir? What's your number two prediction? Okay, so We're going in order If if their topic appropriate, let's keep all the VR ones together make sense. Oh, everyone So my VR prediction is that Facebook will actually launch a VR chat kind of application basically Integrated into a chat app one of the millions they have apparently nowadays or Just launch a VR chat thing for people to get into rooms and start chatting together And I think this will happen very quickly after the Oculus Rift is launched So virtual virtual chat from Facebook and it's probably gonna suck at first emojis Patrick I'm looking out for you here. What take Facebook off there and I feel like like virtual chat I feel like that's something that can definitely am why are you gonna pin it down to Facebook? Because I think I'm it's too easy if you say virtual chat, of course, it's gonna happen I mean, it's we have like what 15 different virtual headsets that are gonna come in come out It's like, oh, yeah, there will be a game in VR. Yeah, of course, duh Obviously, so I'm sort of making it a little bit more challenging and I'm saying Facebook is gonna do it Because you know that this is there the heart of their business and they're gonna start exploring Those kinds of opportunities to add to the Facebook ecosystem However, I really think initially it's gonna be weird and people are not gonna like it and not gonna use it So you don't think that this is like a well's opportunity for a chat room come back Maybe it's possible. Basically, I think Facebook is gonna be doing what we would imagine AOL would have done with chat rooms With VR chat rooms back when you know, they were thing and it makes sense that Facebook owns Oculus that they would Exactly try something cross-platform. I think there's gonna be a lot of interesting uses for virtual reality outside of outside of gaming and traditional Entertainment, I think there's going to be live talk shows. I think there's going to be Therapy sessions. I think there's going to be anything where people in Different places want to get together and have a shared experience And I think chat is definitely going to be a huge player in that category But action that is also that can be a prediction. We'll put that in an official prediction. I don't really know Yeah, I would separate that out. It's real live Things will happen in VR The things all the people tried to do in second life will now happen Okay No That's enough it's really fun trying to talk it all at once in this giant hangout Basically We could have that conversation in the virtual reality penis world, which is obviously going to happen It's going to be the real world was my prediction is everywhere This world opens this year Geez you did say all the things people tried in second life to be fair Do we have any other virtual reality predictions reality prediction Okay, we will see people Start to build blank rooms that are specifically designed to only have a TV and a virtual reality Console and there will be nothing else in the room So that you can move around do whatever you want and have the space for things like hollow lens or magic leap where things are projected outwards and that will start becoming a Feature of big and small homes alike in 2016 blank rooms That's quick. Yeah, that's a I think it's intriguing. I like I'm sure people are going to do that I don't want to I don't want to freak anybody out, but I've set aside a space that we're not currently using in this house for this exact You could make the prediction come true Blank room finished, but when we're done It'll be a space where you know you can put up the sensors and it'll tell how where the walls are and you know We'll work nicely with what the vibe is doing and that's the entire idea of it So I I hope that your prediction is right I think that's how a lot of people are gonna find maybe some of their better experiences Not everyone will be able to do it sadly So who knows what the adoption of such a thing will be but new homes and things like that Maybe maybe that's a few years off, but I I don't not like it Jenny. I like it No, no, no because if Scott's doing it then you are only two people away from a New York Times trend That's right Does my metric for success have to be a New York Times article because I kind of think it does it's a fairly low bar Section here we go every New York Times trendpiece the headline should be writer has two friends that do a thing yep And Scott's one of them all right any other virtual reality predictions Is connected to VR, but I don't I'm not kidding it really is and it's a really cool thing, but it's not it's not like oh VR is gonna take over this or that But it is it's about creators and VR. So if you want to hear it now, I totally tell now Veronica dude, will you allow it? Yes? Take it take it take it Scott. All right here it is so I Think a lot about what I'm gonna be able to do with VR other than consume whatever it is We're gonna do both its chat rooms and consuming that experience or movies interactive film or Video games or whatever I like to start to try to think about what it will mean to have it as a tool in my life and One way I think that we're going to see VR become a tool is the way that it was kind of hinted at and shown to us through that video with with Glenn Keen who used to work for Disney as one of their chief animators and The idea is this this is my thinking we already know that tool exists And he's there's no need predict predicting that because he was in there doing it What I'm predicting is that one day people like Len and I Will be able to stand in a virtual studio space. This is partly why I'm making this room So that I can draw in 3d space create sculpt whatever in 3d space Walk around my drawings looking from different angles smear paint around with an entire hand Really work up in detail zoom right into very fine detail zoom out in other words create a virtual palette and Canvas to work on and when I'm done be able to hit a virtual button in that space and have it 3d print or have it actual print or Send it off to a printer or send it off to a client to look at Or show up on the web as the graphic I was creating for an article or whatever Let's say a web comic whatever it is that we'll be able to use that space To eventually maybe not this next year But eventually to replace the tools that we buy now that are very static and they're like screens Which really are just pads, which are really just like paper and canvas We'll get to a place where we're making all of that content inside that world But publishing it and making it outside of there. We're printing it all out We're sending it out just like we do out of Photoshop now or out of Illustrator or whatever But we're gonna be doing it from that VR space painting in the air printing out of nothing And I think that's gonna be huge in 2016 It sounds like a long way off thing But I think the minute people get their hands on it this stuff's gonna come out like crazy And you'll see the usual players want to get involved. You'll see Adobe trying to do stuff You'll see other independent People who make different kinds of apps now that compete with that software macro media will get in on this 3d stuff will get in on this and before you know it Everybody's making things in there that are now translating into real-world work and can be used as an actual work tool Not just for fun. I think you're a little bit early on the big players getting in on this. However Initially in VR, there's really gonna be nothing of value There's gonna be a lot of trial and error and I think those kinds of demos with Tools that might already exist like the ones that were demoed where they there's the 3d light painting Are great because they allow for you know people to create its content created by users which can propagate very quickly and can be plentiful very quickly and since the Entertainment value initially when people are still figuring things out. They're so low This might see a lot of play initially and then maybe later having the macro medias and and you know I mean adobe and everyone join in but And then you'll be able to have an audience watch you in that virtual space create that virtual art And they'll they'll monetize that and call it rich Mm-hmm. I already I actually kind of disagree I think it's going to happen more on the quick end because there's already 3d modeling sets for in virtual reality before Clay modeling and doing things in cad like designs. So I think that's actually gonna be a pretty pretty fast turnover Yeah, I think if you're if the point that you're making Patrick I think is totally correct that you know initially virtual reality will be going through a lot of Trial and error where a lot of people don't care But I just think that's now where we're at now now like there are plenty of products that are out there that I think are Continuing to be baked, but you know from from everything you hear on that HTC thing that could be the breakout You know that could be the like ready for prime time You know you've got to wear these and and experience it kind of thing that that you know We've always wanted virtual reality to become for the last 25 years All right, anyone else with a virtual reality prediction Because I have one Will come out in a developer kit Augmented reality very different thing Very different Ancillary okay your your point What's gonna come out in an SDK there will be a magic leap developers kit not SDK like a like a prototype Developers kit not really limited maybe like a hundred I don't know about the number exactly but we will actually see a physical magically product Available for a limited number of people by the end of 2016 and everyone is gonna be underwhelmed because it's gonna be basically what the HoloLens is but a little bit different I don't know about that. I don't not agree with that Listen magically business a company that is you know shrouded in secrecy We've only seen very very little and it's been they've been very very good at controlling their message This has got to be the year that we see something from them, right like that would that would make a Lot of sense, but you know the old the pride of Plantation, Florida They're their headquarters are like a half mile from my high school Anti VR prediction Why not VR from Apple in 2016 no VR from Apple. No VR. I think that's pretty safe. I agree with that I think that's safe. Yeah, I here's my VR prediction We're all going to be making VR predictions a year from now because we'll be in this exact same spot where we're gonna That it was better. It's probably the best. That's probably the closest accurate of all of them that we've made so far Okay, all right number two An hour later Bots bots that are actually smart and help you with stuff So software bots things that can schedule your meetings that can be your task manager That can be your personal assistant and all of them in slack Wait, can you say that again? I was still typing software bots, right? Yeah, start smart software bots Well, we'll inhabit everything including slack Personal bots like virtual assistants. Are you Yeah, no the actual good ones I think so So we're this sounds dangerously close to a kind of all-encompassing clippy, but like, you know But but actually helpful. Yeah, but Veronica, you're talking like cross-platform, too You're talking about like script and code that lives on the internet that follows you no matter where you go on whatever device Whatever piece of software you're in be it slack or messaging or whatever it is Die, I'd love this prediction if they can do this in 2016. I am signing up because that's an amazing idea I love it. I think it's already happening. Yeah, that's my what's the difference What's the difference with a Siri your Cortana though because they're not smart. They're not smart They're they're filling out. They're badly doing requests that you're asking for They're like over the they're like hovering over your shoulder But only in very minute specific places Google now and Siri aren't in your slack aren't in your Trello aren't in your everything else They're just in your Google or in your Apple Yeah, there's a lot of personal assistant apps out there that are doing stuff that that I think are very promising But I don't think they're quite there yet But I think now especially with you know It's kind of the not not the death of email, but just the the growth of slack As a messaging platform and a co-working platform I think there's going to be bots that just get a lot of work done in in on that platform So so let me let me ask like just so I can get a clear idea of what you're talking about like this would be Slack and beyond right like I'm talking to I'm texting with you or or you know, we're communicating It's like oh, let's get coffee, you know sometime next week now our our virtual bots are Hammering out good times because it knows our schedules and automatically updating stuff for us So there's an automation to a lot of this totally. Yeah, that that gets kind of okay I want I want to go into slack and right I need to ship this book and it knows what book I'm talking about and it like it goes to ship and Orders the person to come and get like it just does everything. Yeah, we're like Send this book to Dan and yeah, I will know what which figure out which Dan you're talking about know exactly What his address is and then yeah have a guy from ship come over and send out everything out automatically So you're like you're driving you're following the GPS navigation on your phone in your car And then you're like where's this blue line taking me and then you're at Safeway And then the bots like remember you needed some You know, yeah, sure. Absolutely. Yeah Geofencing and geolocation Point you could just be like I don't know what I do in my life. I just follow the blue line Darren on a scale from one to diamond how physically excited with the NSA be about the proliferation of these particular technology I give that 1110 tin foil hats All right, any other bot predictions I just had a thought when I heard all of you talk incessantly about I think about slack I think you guys are putting a little bit too many eggs in your slack basket. I think That slack might see its bubble. It's not a prediction just a Wondering out loud and I can see you Veronica. I could not disagree with you more. Yeah, okay. I haven't said anything yet I already disagree with you. I Virtual slack Basically, yeah, I think the slack bubble might burst and it's a lot. It's not as Incredible as you are old well, it's because you refuse to use it, but I do use it. I have to remind you No, I Every Tuesday I get into this slack and I say hey guys. I have no idea for the discussion topic That's true. Actually, you're pretty good about that. Yeah, you print out my emails for me so I can read them on the can I Don't buy into this email thing Slack has changed the very way I function and I don't not Lacing that with hyperbole and I couldn't be happier that between Tom and Veronica. They introduced me to it It changes the way I work in all positive ways Across the board with a ton of different people and lots of weird kind of ways not just sharing Giffy's or any that crap Like like it's actually We'll be a bot that improves this year Guys, I'm not saying you guys are gonna stop using it what I'm saying is it's not gonna become Dropbox and be in everyone's computer Well, I'll see slack related three words hosted crypto slack A mouth watered a little when you said that I Swear if you move us to some chankey open-source slack Just sign my PGP key. Why are you not signing my? That'll be for Fridays, sorry Lynn, right Patrick that Patrick I do disagree. I think that that we're going to see more more growth in slack outside of just the you know Slap each other on the back so hard that we break our arms San Francisco Community that has obviously adopted it for which I'm one. All right, Patrick Beja What is your I mean? You have a couple now with Facebook launching a VR chat and now the demise of slack and it's Okay Am I done with my predictions are are you I you told me you had to do you have more? I have two more, but we don't have to go through all of them. I mean, I'll just do one I'll just do one bad one someone's gonna die on one of those bull crap hoverboards this year They're banded CES someone's gonna die. I Don't know where I don't know when Don't have it, but they don't have a body called they don't have a nobody owns the patent on these things They're like these Chinese made by the dozen blue glowing hoverboards. I agree someone's gonna die Yeah, oh dark. I was gonna say Veronica's stuff was very positive this year Got the negative aggressive award, but Faces of death I Had a really I had a really dark prediction, but I don't you know, I don't want to bring the mood down So I just did that farther than death Len. Maybe I'll bring us back up. Oh Well, yeah, oh was was Veronica done with her prediction. Yes, I Was gonna say my one prediction my you know I always tend to get really dark on these shows with prediction shows I always think the worst, but I think there's going to be a major cyber attack on a major city Next I was gonna say that it wasn't my second prediction, but yeah, I was I was gonna say it too Hackers are gonna take down a city next year. Oh, take down the CD. Okay. No, I actually I wasn't gonna say that Okay, but does that mean? Electrical grid like what is what is that? What is it? I leave it open to interpretation. I think Happen to a major city where it's going to get this is the result of Len being on Fridays all the time But Justin he's saying take down the city I think we'll know, you know, the if the that line is crossed. I think we can we can say Transportation communication all kinds of things. I mean if they're gonna cripple a city Correct way of the city. All right. Okay, Patrick. What are you saying? Oh? You mean on the on the hackers? Exploding our computers thing. I was thinking a serious instance of a non-state-sponsored cyberterrorism Basically, you know Isis or something like that Doing some kind of terrorist cyber attack not an entire city level But something serious like like disrupting a subway or causing a crash or an explosion of a power grid or two What do you think I don't the end would be that they want to cost mass destruction and possible death because the city's down The electric grid's off or whatever it you just think it's like no, I'm not I'm not even going to physical consequences But but I don't know disrupting some kind of governmental service for an extended period of time The New York Stock Exchange down a way that happens anyway because of bugs in their software never mind for a non-nation state actor That kind of stuff doesn't actually do as much damage as just leaking a politician's Private email things of that nature and that's what we've typically been seeing is data breaches or or data leaks Where you know the the paste bin the torrents full of you know the the Ashley Madison type of stuff We haven't actually seen too much of the whole power grid going down stuff So I'm going to say no on the whole exploding Stuff and power going out and people getting trapped in elevators and more of the like scandal-esque Sony like hack Tony like leaky stuff. Yeah, all right Patrick any others right? Yes, actually mice my real second prediction was that the it's it's you know halfway between tech and Video games actually let's be honest. It's completely video games the Nintendo nx is going to launch before the end of the year and It will have so double whammy it will have Zelda Not as a launch title the Zelda that is currently scheduled for the Wii U is going to be launched as a double Launch on the nx as well and all of that will happen before the end of the year Gary I agree Not totally agree and the reason I agree is because this is a pattern they followed before when things weren't working so well They were having trouble toward the tail end of the GameCube cycle and what did they do? They made a new Zelda game for that and then switch gears all right. It's coming out on both But came out on the Wii at launch all reversed inexplicably with none the less So wouldn't shock me to see Nintendo both make a real play for the nx to be important in 2016 because they need to do it soon and also Leverage their most important property Which is I think yeah, I think I'm it's a little bit more unlikely that it comes out in 2016 it might come out before the end of March 2017 But whenever it does I think Zelda coming out on it as well is is would surprise no one anywhere Yeah, I can't disagree with that either. I think the nx probably I think they're pretty sure that's gonna launch and launching with Zelda makes perfect sense. So I'm with you there Scott. You've had one prediction about a blank room ish kind of use What's your other prediction? I believe that VR will be just kidding. I'm not talking about VR. I Didn't have a secondary one in case someone took mine, but no one did so it's fine I believe that in the next year I'll go with this one Facebook will announce that they've either acquired somebody big Or they've done it themselves, but they become a search engine or they want to deploy one Some sort of search product. Yeah, and this is not my prediction of how well it will succeed because I don't think it will do That great I think it'll be the bing of search engines now that being is already the bing of search engines a good search engine Not a solid product, but not maybe the a nine of search engines I'm not saying though I don't know who in particular they would it makes with all this yahoo stuff lately Maybe that actually makes sense But I just think that they have gone they show too many other signs of saying we need to come up with ways to one up Google VR being one of them by the way. I Disagree and let me tell you why I disagree because I think Facebook has succeeded at becoming a walled garden And I think that they don't They don't benefit by taking people outside of the Facebook ecosystem, but will this be internal search or external? Well, because they have plenty of search internal right because that exists the I'm Scott you mean some kind of external product That's no my thinking is that it would be and again The success of it is very dubious if it ever did happen But I think it would be something that would be a bit of a hybrid something that would encourage people to stay and not leave To go search for things, but they could take them out and I don't have a good modern analog for this But back in the old days to keep people on your site when you went to go get something outside of it You'd make frames or something and have that target data end up not a not a future with frames, please I'm not saying I want frames back return of the frames already do this with news sources these select news sources They're working with now where they keep you there So I'm just saying it's not that crazy to think that they may extend that into an area like search Where they could do something like Google's accelerated mobile pages Within the Facebook app. Yeah, I think that there's certainly a lot of room for them to improve their search Experience and to make Facebook a little bit more of a navigatable site beyond your news feed And I wouldn't be shocked if they gave it a fancy name or its own fancy app or something The one thing that I think works against it is that they seem to be very news feed focused And and and their their business model Revolves around you just kind of scrolling down or if you do take a left turn It's into a a video page or something like that, but that's because they have you know this big bone yay for videos You know, I think that to go to have people Leave their news feed a place where they can't necessarily sell You know better placement on I think you know, I don't know that might as they start selling web Yes Yeah So a lot of stuff outside of Facebook already they don't Exploring the content or finding the content that is on Facebook is already is kind of very badly organized So maybe a proper internal Facebook search engine You know that presents results properly could be a thing that I could see it happen This is something they build or buy I think that this is something they buy and then and then tweak I don't think they're gonna start anything from the ground up. They certainly have the cash to do it They could do it, but it's possible. This is the other my other part of the theory It's a little more conspiratorial, but it's possible this new holding company not holding company But this LLC thing that that Zuckerberg spun off To do is a charity everything else. It's possible that some of those money-making to those ends Resources could be thrown at this so that they could build this out as the thing that makes the web more accessible across the world Part of their sort of Facebook anywhere stuff And it's possible that all of that might be tied to one of these that could be an initiative I find that doubtful because I think they would take too much flack for it Maybe not but to me it seems smarter if I were them to buy Existing you know like existing wad of algorithms and say all right We're gonna make this ours and you know that wouldn't be unheard of for them to do or anyone else to do for that Matter maybe yahu, maybe yahu's got the most robust Catalog to do that with and my by catalog I just mean most of the work already done and they can just kind of make it internal and make it somehow work But for whatever reason it just feels like this one place That they haven't done anything with that seems like they could benefit from and still keep the walled garden intact What if it was in virtual reality? I Close that topic. I got one final thing to say and this is all I ever say about this topic I just want to make it clear and I've been making the prediction for a long time now Mad Max very roadal. I get a nomination for best I got the nom for gold globe or did it can't not get the nomination of course It's gonna get the nomination. Do you think it's gonna get the the actual world all I think is though All he's ever said all I've ever said is it will get nominated and everybody and their dog seems to not agree with me So what I agree with you Scott. I'm a hundred percent with you Stand I stand with my French brother When Scott said this back in November though people laughed at him You're all on the Scott bandwagon now, but where were you? All right, Darren kitchen we've we've seen one hollow novel prediction from you. Do you have another? Yes Sadly spectacle fest 2016 will be postponed I actually have a real drone prediction. Okay. Yes, okay So I feel like the DOT and the FAA are going to accept the proposal that they got from the task force that they made for the whole registration of drones or small and mandarial systems if you will and It's going to include the exciting accept Exemption for craft under 8.8 ounces or 250 grams for the metric inclined and that Will spur a lot of development within the model aircraft community to build sub 250 gram Things like quadcopters and tricopters and stuff of that like Until and it comes with like a caveat So my whole production is actually hinging on whether or not this this exemption gets accepted, but exemption for what was the weight? Sorry say at the weight of grams or 8.8 ounces For the and this is for the registration right until there's an incident regarding an unregistered drone that causes a reinterpretation of that exemption to include not only the craft's actual weight, but You know it being under 250 grams, but also it's available thrust See typically drones have between like a 3 to 1 or a 10 to 1 thrust to weight ratio depending on if it's like acrobatic or whatever And so when evaluated as what they currently write as maximum takeoff weight The 250 gram exemption may actually be for a toy somewhere between 30 and 80 grams And that will make people very sad Mmm, so you think somebody's gonna get hit in the eye by a fast small drone and I'm just gonna go with incident Regarding yeah, yeah, no, that's good. That's good for your prediction But I get where you're going and the second part to that is that that you know It's gonna spur a lot of development in really light drones, but But it still may be like an underground thing at the end of the day So we will have a mighty wave of tiny drones that will then also be Legislated into having to be registered, which doesn't mean they won't be able to be used obviously It just means you have to go through a couple more hoops to use them. Yes, and then we will get the Smart insects drone. Oh the bio-member case stuff is amazing. Yeah, and then last really weird Tiny prediction is that in a 2016 a qubit on a quantum computer will remain in a superposition until it's observed Would you write that one in yourself happened in 2015 to you think so yeah, I think it did okay How about export control on quantum computers in regards to encryption? Oh my lord That one you should write in for Jenny yeah I how I interpret that was some some some quantum some some some So why don't you just type that one right in the yeah, and do you think it's gonna come from Google and NASA? I have no idea words The quantum computer we're actually making some use out of the exploit. Yeah, that's oh the export control that'll come BIS that'll come from Department of Commerce right, but we'll come in reaction to Google and NASA showing something is real And they're like oh wait, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, this is here. It just doesn't do much. It makes numbers go faster All right, Justin Robert Young You predicted we would be making VR predictions next year, but what else you got? All right, two of them I predict that Uber will lose their lawsuit the class action lawsuit for which Could very much complicate its business practices as they are already doing I believe uber's reaction to this will be to press state legislatures to pass laws In their favor saying that the you know the whole gig economy Independent contractor things should be protected so they're going to try and solve their problem through legislation Which here's my final? My final element is that this will become a federal government issue in? 2016 when president elect Bernstein bear creator Just kidding. She's dead On the board John Draper actor John Hamm Will you know make it make it an issue? I think that in this presidential campaign. We're going to see federal You know a promise to fight for the little guy from you know, Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton or a newly resurgent Lincoln chaffee with his company Ohio and Florida have regulations governing uber in under consideration They would join North Carolina, Arkansas and Indiana so that that road is definitely being paved right now That's a good solid prediction right there. That's what yeah, I think that that It will become a federal government talking point And that it uber will be the poster child of it because they are obviously the most brash and loud But it will be about all of the you know the big quote-unquote gig economy. Yeah I think I think that I think uber as a presidential campaign issue is almost for sure like it already is no I don't already. Yeah, so so this this narrowing of it, right? I think this is pretty smart All right money on that second prediction I believe that Batman v. Superman will be regarded as the worst comic book movie ever Oh That will be savaged by critics as being just terrible and I want to make a rotten tomatoes guess I sub-20 Right the one trailer really got under your cheese didn't it? I mean it well objectively terrible and I feel like this is more to do with the fact that I feel like critics Are are really want a big loud comic book movie failure Worse would it be a suit a suicide squad or Batman v. Superman? What do you think what the lower rating Batman v. Superman? Well because there's more there's more consequence to it You know because you're doing something with these two big characters and here's my big the the big prediction I believe somebody high up at Warner Brothers will lose their job based on the fit What floor how high? Wait a second Justin. Have you seen the latest fantastic for movie? I have not no, okay, because that was pretty much. I think as low as anything could ever go And yeah, and that has a 27 rating on Metacritic Justin what you're saying you're not saying but it's gonna be the biggest flop based on what a cost or anything like that What you're saying is this is Superman and Batman these are your the most iconic characters in the history of the medium And if they are gonna make it it's gonna be that much worse because they're that big or there's so much more to lose Because they ruined these okay, but okay, but so you said it's the worst comic book adaptation just for reference Yeah, fantastic for on rotten tomatoes. It's really a terrible movie It has ten percent cool rotten tomatoes and the one that the one from 2015. Yeah, yeah a few months ago Yeah, no, I think we're looking where we're at. We're we're we're we're sub 20. I don't know if it'll be I don't know if it'll be sub 10, but okay I think this way you're going to see reviews like this is the death of the comic book movie like I That's not true because they're still good comic book movies, right prediction Say stuff like that for sure Like I break movie critic hyperbole. That'll be interesting because I predict you got the civil war chaser right after it there So yeah, it should be interesting to see what happens. Oh the movie will be Going to say this is the rebirth of the comic book movie they can wrap it. Yeah, right exactly All right, well, I've got one more prediction myself And it seems like a really boring one considering everything that we've been going through here It's not that let me undo that It is that some phone company is going to market their service as 5g in 2016 Even though it has nothing to do with LTE you or the 5g standard, which isn't even ratified yet That's going for I'm going for success with this one. Yeah, I like it I just think it's true. Yeah, I just think it will happen Me it feels good. Yeah, one critic saying this is the death of the comic book movie. You don't believe no These are my prediction Reactions Titled to them my prediction reaction. All right before we finish up here. Oh, I have two little predictions Oh, you do. Oh, I thought you got the cyber attack was your prediction. I'm sorry, Lynn Okay, these are kind of ones. It's actually on my drawing Tony Bennett lady Gaga and Justin Bieber will team up to do with Netflix special from the moon via SpaceX Wow, wow Yeah, we'll team up to do a Netflix special from the moon via space I think you might get that half right or even two-thirds, right? So that's my you know, I the reason I do this because every I read a National Enquirer years ago And that was a Jane Dixon prediction for me. It was red It was red Fox Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy would do a special from the moon that was that was her prediction for like 1983 so close My other prediction and this is a this is a sure bet Is that a a certain artist who works uh, uh on dts on fridays will have multiple games coming out for Steve Jackson next year? Well, well, well, I predict a eighth baby. That's what I Afraid he's gonna say multiple babies There for a second Yeah, could you imagine no no no games Steve Jackson games? All right Keep an eye. I don't know. What's your money on that horse seven sounds outrageous already. So it's like what's an eight gonna do? All right, before we get out of here a consensus prediction. Is there one prediction that all of us can get behind? VR is going to be important There you go. Yeah, Batman and Superman's gonna suck Business models like selling pet food, but in VR I like I like Darren's um, there's gonna be a VR lawsuit VR lawsuit. Yeah. Yeah, we want to go with VR lawsuit. I think he's right. Yeah I think that there's gonna be I don't know what it'll be though yet. I didn't want to post Yeah, that's a good one. Um, like kind of like uh, Exactly, you know, it'll be like that. It'll be like a really controversial like you can't 3d print a gun You can't VR the Tour de France or whatever you can't do that Yes, someone's going to get mad at someone making a VR representation of something Carried I get behind uh, I get behind Justin zuber prediction. I think that's a pretty strong one Or we already carried the other one.
