Hey guys, it's Artie. We're here at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. We're here for a CES
and we have a big team going this year. We have about 22 people and we've kind of broken
up into teams of three and four to roam around CES and check what's up, but I'm the only
one on my team. So I'm taking you guys along on the journey. Let's get it. And we're here
at least at the Sony booth and we're here with Matt. What's up? Yo, let's go. Let's check it out. And it's Samsung. Oh, no, that's what we're here for.
We're not here for the frame. Wait, hold up. This is this the TV. I don't know if it comes
across on camera, but this thing actually straight up looks like a painting. Dude, what's up with
everybody want to customize their fridge now, dude? It's just because instead of a giant
stainless steel box, now you can at least have one color, two tags. So honestly, it's kind of a
good deal. Speaking about customizable fridges, we're head to LG and they have a fully RGB
fridge. Well, they say that, but we're going to find out how RGB it really is.
The LG RGB fridge. You guys might have seen it, but look at this. And it's there. Each of
the panels have their own lighting zone and you can control it with an app. My question is who
the hell would buy one of these? What up, what up? It's been very busy. My feet hurt. I've talked to
a lot of people, but it's also a good time. Alex, what's good? I'm probably about two videos away
from losing my voice, but I only have two videos to shoot. So I think we're fine. You got TCO.
It appears to be a 24 FPS video playing on a gaming monitor.
This modern warfare, the OG, well, it's stretched if you look at it. This is clearly 16 by 9
content put on a ultra wide. It's incredible how they just don't care. There's been so many gaming
displays, but finally something for us. I love gaming. Although honestly, I didn't know there's
a 240 Hertz 4K TV. That's actually pretty sick. It's not. Oh, it's not. It's not. It either does 4K
or it does 240 Hertz. It doesn't do both at the same time. Oh, the classic. Never mind, I was excited
for a second. TCL laptops. Floppy boy. This one's not too bad? Yeah, this one feels better.
Bugatti. Scooter. It's a nice Bugatti. Yeah, I drive a Bugatti even. It's just a scooter.
I don't know, man. Scooters. What's Bugatti gonna do next? Bikes? The real reason why we're with
Alex and Sven is because we're headed to BMW right now, right? Yes, sir. BMW's iVision D.
And apparently they have like E-Ink displays everywhere that you can change the color of your
car. 32 different colors. They got digital buttons, whatever the hell that means. Digital?
Digital. Digital and physical mixed together, man. It's crazy. BMW's wild. Yeah, the future's here.
Wait, wait, wait a little bit more. I see butterflies. Yeah, we have the butterfly
to make the transition between reality and virtuality. And after the next turn,
you can bring this slider to the next level. Yes.
Yeah, now we are approaching on all the Windows. We can turn all the Windows to black or back.
We have a special system to turn for the transplants to the back.
And we have projectional located here inside for all Windows and the new add up display.
In fact, we could also, we can increase a little bit more of the size depending on the depth of
the dashboard. Oh, so there's a massive curved display up here. It's not, yeah, yeah, it's a
reflection. Something like your smartphone, like that. Because it, yeah, it wasn't sort of, I didn't
understand how it was happening until the whole thing lit up. Yeah. That was very cool.
I don't know what we're supposed to do for social here, but this is very interesting. I really
like how this is thoughtful here. The IAX kind of did that. Something like that, yeah. It's
special. Like I can see how it's sort of like progressing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So can I ask a
question? Yes. What is the reason that BMW wants to focus on like companionship so much?
Right now we have still a strong gap between the interaction at home with your Alex sign,
something like that, and your car. And it's something that we want to reduce. So how you
interact with your ecosystem should be the same in your car. And the speak interaction will be
probably in the future the most used interaction. So we don't want to reduce the interaction to
only the speech interaction. So at BMW, BMW, we always have multimodal interaction staring wheel,
the wheel, the speech, something that we want to keep. But we think that the interaction with
the voice will be the most used. But at the end it will be your choice. We don't want to say you
now you need to interact like that or like that. It's cute. Yes. In the 60s when you wanted to
interact with a computer you needed to learn a language. In the future the car will be able
to learn how you want to interact. So how far out do you think that is? Because like right now
the only thing that gives me pause at any time that I've tried to use voice in a car is just not
worked at all. What makes you think it's going to get there? So the next step is we have a
cooperation with Alexa now. So Alexa will be integrating to our car. And we want to improve
the speech interaction. Do they fit or is there anything? There's something in this one.
Okay so that was actually an NFC chip. Jason is so mad that I'm the one that caught the BMW
driving gloves. That was actually sick. I assumed that it was going to just be like AI nonsense but
oh my god the E-access delay. I went in with low expectations and my mind was blown and I feel like
I need eight espresso shots to actually comprehend everything. Here in my garage just got a new Sony.
It's a Sony car. You can game. We played Sackboy in the car. It's pretty sick. Very comfortable car
I will say. It's maybe not as good as a Taycan but that's also $200,000 so I think this is pretty
good. Everybody that sat in it was like these seats are super comfortable. The tech is super cool
but we got to wait 2025 before we're even taking pre-order so we'll see more in a few years.
Oh wow that looks awful.
So if we turn it off does it go in? We might just have to turn it off. Yeah it's still weird though.
It's already pretty low. Is it just maybe the lighting in here? I mean it's actually pretty
dark in here. Yeah it doesn't feel like it though it is. Yeah. Zach can you still see that? Yeah I
just barely suck. It's enough. I guess probably enough. Okay all right thank you. So thank you
That's better now yeah. It's pretty dark dude. Is it? Oh I'm at the sledge.
Maybe. Artie you want to hold the prompter? I could. It's so hard to do it like that.
Would you just be okay with just your left hand? I have to look at a lot. I would rather have the
prompter. Yeah okay. So like is this fine now or just put there? No it's better now but I think
the prompter is also just needs to maybe I'll make it gray. It's a little dirty. What's the issue
with the prompter? You can't you literally can't see it? No it's like causing like a like a halo
effect on my camera which it never does. This is weird. Oh no. That's probably gray.
How's that? I can read that way better. Yeah but can I turn it down to brightness a bit or not?
How does it look? Yeah it looks bad. Bruh. It's so dark there. Yeah. Okay can you go like
halfway between those two? Like I just need a little bit. Yeah.
Yeah I can actually see. And then move just move the net just for me.
You moving them right now? Yeah. Okay we're fine. Yeah we're fine. Is it still halo-ing?
Yeah. Should I just turn the lights off?
It looks like that everywhere. I know it looks. What the f**k? It's weird isn't it? We need like a sun
but I think it's the lights bouncing off the phone. Yeah let's put it right. That's the time.
Do you like tape? Like a gaff tape or? I do. Sure tape. Sure tape?
Um just like yeah I'll just add a hood to it.
Is this gonna f**k with the camera? Feel the view? No.
This is funny because this is what I was planning on using the tape for. Okay and then
yeah put it's working. Much better.
I mean there's still we can add more.
For reference if you look at like the WAN Show set you'll see the cameras have a big piece of like
metal foil over the front of them and it's to help with stuff like this. Oh if it works it's not
stupid. Now you know what the annoying thing is? Is that it's the shine it's also the shine
inside the like why isn't that matte? That bit of plastic in there because it's cheap. How's that?
Yeah it's better. Better? Yeah it's still a little bit but it's better for sure. How much better are
we talking? Uh we're gonna say the tilt? Yeah oh yeah minus tilt. Is that it?
Yeah and just for you guys to see.
It's lit. It's got the juice. It's got the juice. It's corn. Adam where are we right now? Where
did the Tesla loop the dumbest thing in Las Vegas? I'm not sure where it goes but I figured we had to
hit it up. This is the Elon Musk boring company project where they decided to drill a big hole
and the idea was that it was supposed to load these Teslas onto cars that would allow them to go
really really fast through the tubes but then that didn't happen so there's normal Teslas and then
going fast through the tubes was dangerous so now they only go through it about 40 kilometers an hour
so it's not really fast it's marginally faster than taking out I don't know the monorail
and it costs a city billions and billions of dollars and it makes no money. It's a complete
failure in like every sense of the word. The idea was that there's gonna be elevators for cars to
come off the streets which doesn't make any sense because you don't put cars in elevators it's so
inconvenient that's a you could think about how many people you can fit in one elevator if they're
on foot. It's it's an embarrassment and this city should be ashamed what Las Vegas needs to do is
actually invest in public transport but they don't because it's more profitable to keep people to
force people to take cars and rent cars and spend money. I just got dripped on in here.
What the hell?
You can't actually have gas vehicles down here either because it's not proper ventilation so
you have to have zero emissions vehicles. Just think about how many more people they could take
if this was a subway. Each car holds five people and we need to brace this whole lane on just five
people per car tops. What if there was this thing that was on rails because you can only go down one
lane in one direction and it held hundreds of people per car and it came in a regular fashion.
Oh wait that already exists. This is the inside of Elon Musk's butthole.
