Hi, I'm Cleo Abram and this is the Wired Autocomplete interview.

Cleo Abram podcast!

Oh that's so cool!

I don't have one!

Alright, what does Cleo Abram do?

I'm a YouTuber.

I make a show called Huge If True.

It's a really optimistic show about technology and science

and how we can use both of those things to make the world better.

Is Cleo Abram a scientist?

No, I'm a journalist,

which means I get to talk to scientists all the time about the things

that they know best and that they are most passionate about,

and then my job is to try to better understand the context

and explain how that science applies to people like you and me.

Cleo Abram, YouTube.

It's my home base, it's my creative home.

I've been on YouTube for maybe seven or eight years now and love what I do so so much.

All right, Cleo Abram, Boston Dynamics.

I went to visit Boston Dynamics and got to meet

and also shove their humanoid robot named Atlas who has since been retired.

They have a new humanoid robot now which I would love to go meet.

When I shoved this robot it reacted almost like a human would in the sense

that it stumbled backward on one of its legs and caught itself.

The difference was that I was shoving it incredibly hard.

I felt genuinely guilty about shoving this humanoid robot and it recovered beautifully every single time.

I couldn't physically shove it over.

And then actually I, because I felt so guilty,

I asked one of the Boston Dynamics engineers to shove me in the same way I had shoved Atlas.

I didn't fall over but I did stumble back quite a bit farther than Atlas did.

I thought you said you were going to ask to give it a hug.

I should have asked to give it a hug.

I I don't know if they would have allowed me to hug it.

Next time.

Cleo Abram and MKBHD.

I've collaborated with Marquez a couple times.

One episode on quantum computing, which was awesome.

We got to go see IBM's quantum computer.

It helps me better understand why the heck people are talking

about quantum computing as a scary thing that's going to interrupt all encryption and we have to get ready for it,

et cetera, et cetera.

And also somehow it's going to help scientific progress.

One of the answers to that question is that to model quantum dynamics,

it may or may not be helpful to have a quantum computer.

That's one area people are really excited about.

So we went and we saw these quantum computers that look like the craziest chandeliers you've ever seen in your life.

If there's ever an old quantum computer that no one ever wants anymore,

I would love to hang it in my house.

Clio Abram AI.

I'm real, I'm interested in AI.

I think that there are lots of applications that could make people's lives better and lots that I'm concerned about.

So for example,

I did a story recently where i talked about alpha fold

alpha fold tries to better predict the shape of a protein by its amino acid bases

which is important

because you can then create better medicines for people more quickly

on the flip side i talk a lot about ai

and the need to find the right balance between using it for good

and confining its worst applications for example i made a video for for Vox about deepfakes

and the use of deepfakes on the internet,

I have made a video that I'm really proud of

that tries to explore how AI is being used in music and what the implications might be for artists and musicians.

AI music.

I find this area totally fascinating.

I have spoken with the CEO of Spotify,

Daniel Ek, about this at length.

I think the general topic of AI music is obviously thorny and nuanced.

If you get more and more specific,

you start to see really interesting things in the way the technology actually works,

the way that it's trained,

the way that it might help or hurt musicians in the future.

One of the things

that I think is important for people to understand about AI

music is the music industry actually has pretty detailed systems for how to treat things like sampling

or referencing previous music and previous music tracks in existing songs.

There's sort of a flow chart of whether you're specifically drawing from the actual recording of the song,

which requires a certain kind of licensing fee,

or you're drawing from the composition, which requires something else.

And so the question of who gets paid based on what you were inspired by

and what the end result is of your music has actually been,

I won't say well answered because it's constantly being debated within the music industry,

but there are lots and lots of rules for this.

And so the interesting question that I've done a lot of research on

and made videos about is how does AI music either fit into the already existing music system for paying artists

and making sure

that people can also be inspired by what they hear versus where does it actually break

that system and where do we need new rules.

Cleo Abram's CERN.

I went to visit CERN recently.

I got to see what's called the Large Hadron Collider,

which is this enormous underground tunnel basically where they have a smaller tube

that they send protons flying around in opposite directions

and they speed them up faster and faster and faster

and then when they're going fast enough they collide them together in these massive detectors

so that they can better understand what kinds of particles were present close to the big bang

and how did they relate to each other

and how might we better understand the universe

that we live in this is a stretch for me

because i had to try to understand particle physics and how the heck that would apply to my daily life.

100

But it was so, so cool to see this enormous machine.

101

That's fine.

102

Okay, Cleo Abram podcast.

103

Oh, that's so cool.

104

I don't have one.

105

I didn't realize that this was a big search.

106

Maybe now I'll start a podcast.

107

I've been thinking about it because I do these long interviews with people,

108

some of the most interesting people to me in the world.

109

And I end up with like two hours of conversation,

110

but then I only use maybe six or seven minutes in my videos because it's a pretty tightly crafted story.

111

So I've been thinking about how to make those into a podcast,

112

but I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet.

113

Cleo Abram, Twitter.

114

I mean, I do think Twitter is a really important place for discourse between people who have something to share.

115

So whether that's a specific scientific area,

116

I know artists that are sort of sharing things back and forth on Twitter.

117

I'm a part of some specific communities that help each other do research.

118

And so when I have a topic area in mind,

119

I will very often go to Twitter and,

120

or X, what are we calling it now?

121

And search for that topic and DM people who seem to be talking about

122

that topic from a scientific perspective and try to better understand it.

123

Cleo Abrams' spacesuit.

124

I tried on NASA's new spacesuit that they're planning to use to take the next humans to the moon.

125

It was awesome.

126

And it was really, really heavy.

127

They didn't share exactly what the weight was.

128

It was maybe 150 pounds, 160 pounds.

129

I was actually hanging a little bit from straps on the ceiling to mimic what it would feel like

130

if I were actually on the moon.

131

I think the request from NASA to a company called Axiom Space,

132

which built the actual spacesuits,

133

was that they needed to make a suit that could fit,

134

I think 90% of the American population,

135

which is a big ask.

136

And I believe that they succeeded.

137

This spacesuit is very, very cool.

138

Cleo Abram X-59.

139

I went to see a supersonic plane.

140

And the thing about supersonic planes is that we used to have them and now we don't.

141

So the Concorde was a very famous supersonic plane that used to take people on flights over water.

142

And the reason why they could only go over water was supersonic planes are super loud.

143

You may have heard of a sonic boom.

144

The thing that I didn't fully understand before I began doing research into supersonic planes is

145

that a supersonic boom doesn't just happen once.

146

It's not a boom when they cross the sound barrier.

147

It's a boom that happens the whole time over everywhere they fly over.

148

So if there were supersonic planes going back and forth over us right now,

149

we would hear sort of a car door slamming a little while away.

150

Over and over and over again that can get really annoying

151

and so the FAA banned the use of supersonic planes over land and a bunch of other countries did the same,

152

which hurt the business of supersonic planes,

153

which meant they were only flying over the ocean,

154

which meant that eventually the Concorde shut down.

155

The X-59 is a new plane that NASA is working on to try

156

and see if we can bring back supersonic planes by making them quieter.

157

If you look at this plane,

158

it's very very long and it's flat on the bottom

159

and what they're trying to do is send all of the sound waves up

160

so that they go away from people on the ground who might hear them.

161

Clio Abram, Apple Vision Pro.

162

I made a video about it.

163

I think the Apple Vision Pro is an interesting example of the path toward a future

164

that I would love to see with VR and AR and the way that those technologies actually feel to you and me.

165

What I was most excited about was AR or VR

166

or any of these tools as the next step in the

167

progression from telegram to telephone to FaceTime to feeling like you're actually in person with someone.

168

Cleo Abram, quantum computing.

169

I love quantum computers.

170

They're so crazy looking and so fascinating.

171

When I was doing research on quantum computers,

172

I spoke to a quantum physicist who gave me an analogy that I really,

173

really love, which is I was thinking about quantum computers as a more powerful computer,

174

but that's really not the way to think about it.

175

It's not that we're going to have quantum iPhones in the near future.

176

It's much more likely that scientists and researchers are going to use quantum computers to explore other areas.

177

And the analogy that the physicist gave me was,

178

if you think about the progress up until this point of computers as making cars faster and faster,

179

he said the better way to think about quantum computers is that they are not faster cars, they're boats.

180

And so it allows us,

181

hopefully, to explore other different areas.

182

And there would be things that a normal computer is good for and things that a quantum computer is good for.

183

For example, exploring the quantum physics that is at the core of most of the biological world.

184

A quantum computer might be able to really help with that in ways that a normal computer might not.

185

Cleo Abram Emmy.

186

A show that I was part of on YouTube called Glad You Asked was nominated for Emmy.

187

I sat on a computer and looked at the ceremony.

188

So this must have been during lockdowns.

189

We didn't win.

190

Cleo Abram dog.

191

My dog is the best.

192

His name is Thor.

193

He's a 10 pound, probably, Australian shepherd.

194

He's the cutest thing to ever exist.

195

And I'm just, oh, he's the best.

196

That's all the boards.

197

Those questions were great.

198

A lot of them were about topics that we've covered on the show.

199

I love the question about my dog,

200

because I could talk to you about him all the time.

201

See you next time.
