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

Cleo Abram podcast!
3
Oh that's so cool!
4
I don't have one!
5
Alright, what does Cleo Abram do?
6
I'm a YouTuber.
7
I make a show called Huge If True.
8
It's a really optimistic show about technology and science
9
and how we can use both of those things to make the world better.
10
Is Cleo Abram a scientist?
11
No, I'm a journalist,
12
which means I get to talk to scientists all the time about the things
13
that they know best and that they are most passionate about,
14
and then my job is to try to better understand the context
15
and explain how that science applies to people like you and me.
16
Cleo Abram, YouTube.
17
It's my home base, it's my creative home.
18
I've been on YouTube for maybe seven or eight years now and love what I do so so much.
19
All right, Cleo Abram, Boston Dynamics.
20
I went to visit Boston Dynamics and got to meet
21
and also shove their humanoid robot named Atlas who has since been retired.
22
They have a new humanoid robot now which I would love to go meet.
23
When I shoved this robot it reacted almost like a human would in the sense
24
that it stumbled backward on one of its legs and caught itself.
25
The difference was that I was shoving it incredibly hard.
26
I felt genuinely guilty about shoving this humanoid robot and it recovered beautifully every single time.
27
I couldn't physically shove it over.
28
And then actually I, because I felt so guilty,
29
I asked one of the Boston Dynamics engineers to shove me in the same way I had shoved Atlas.
30
I didn't fall over but I did stumble back quite a bit farther than Atlas did.
31
I thought you said you were going to ask to give it a hug.
32
I should have asked to give it a hug.
33
I I don't know if they would have allowed me to hug it.
34
Next time.
35
Cleo Abram and MKBHD.
36
I've collaborated with Marquez a couple times.
37
One episode on quantum computing, which was awesome.
38
We got to go see IBM's quantum computer.
39
It helps me better understand why the heck people are talking
40
about quantum computing as a scary thing that's going to interrupt all encryption and we have to get ready for it,
41
et cetera, et cetera.
42
And also somehow it's going to help scientific progress.
43
One of the answers to that question is that to model quantum dynamics,
44
it may or may not be helpful to have a quantum computer.
45
That's one area people are really excited about.
46
So we went and we saw these quantum computers that look like the craziest chandeliers you've ever seen in your life.
47
If there's ever an old quantum computer that no one ever wants anymore,
48
I would love to hang it in my house.
49
Clio Abram AI.
50
I'm real, I'm interested in AI.
51
I think that there are lots of applications that could make people's lives better and lots that I'm concerned about.
52
So for example,
53
I did a story recently where i talked about alpha fold
54
alpha fold tries to better predict the shape of a protein by its amino acid bases
55
which is important
56
because you can then create better medicines for people more quickly
57
on the flip side i talk a lot about ai
58
and the need to find the right balance between using it for good
59
and confining its worst applications for example i made a video for for Vox about deepfakes
60
and the use of deepfakes on the internet,
61
I have made a video that I'm really proud of
62
that tries to explore how AI is being used in music and what the implications might be for artists and musicians.
63
AI music.
64
I find this area totally fascinating.
65
I have spoken with the CEO of Spotify,
66
Daniel Ek, about this at length.
67
I think the general topic of AI music is obviously thorny and nuanced.
68
If you get more and more specific,
69
you start to see really interesting things in the way the technology actually works,
70
the way that it's trained,
71
the way that it might help or hurt musicians in the future.
72
One of the things
73
that I think is important for people to understand about AI
74
music is the music industry actually has pretty detailed systems for how to treat things like sampling
75
or referencing previous music and previous music tracks in existing songs.
76
There's sort of a flow chart of whether you're specifically drawing from the actual recording of the song,
77
which requires a certain kind of licensing fee,
78
or you're drawing from the composition, which requires something else.
79
And so the question of who gets paid based on what you were inspired by
80
and what the end result is of your music has actually been,
81
I won't say well answered because it's constantly being debated within the music industry,
82
but there are lots and lots of rules for this.
83
And so the interesting question that I've done a lot of research on
84
and made videos about is how does AI music either fit into the already existing music system for paying artists
85
and making sure
86
that people can also be inspired by what they hear versus where does it actually break
87
that system and where do we need new rules.
88
Cleo Abram's CERN.
89
I went to visit CERN recently.
90
I got to see what's called the Large Hadron Collider,
91
which is this enormous underground tunnel basically where they have a smaller tube
92
that they send protons flying around in opposite directions
93
and they speed them up faster and faster and faster
94
and then when they're going fast enough they collide them together in these massive detectors
95
so that they can better understand what kinds of particles were present close to the big bang
96
and how did they relate to each other
97
and how might we better understand the universe
98
that we live in this is a stretch for me
99
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.
