Never push updates on a Friday - you might bring the world grinding to a halt…
We all know the scale of Crowdstrike’s impact on the global economy, but how on earth did it ACTUALLY happen, and could it happen again?
This week’s episode of Disconnected goes beyond the corporate bull, and shares the real story, plus Tesla’s plan on bringing humanoid robots to life, and the gold standard of AI innovation on show at Paris 2024.
This episode of Disconnected covers:
The Olympic Games’ use of AI technology to enhance our viewing experience
Elon Musk’s ambitious goal to employ humanoid robots from next year
How the Crowdstrike crash actually happened, and whether we should be worried about more cyber-calamities
Episode Highlights:
“Crowdstrike charges its customers billions per year, yet they brought the world down in ways that hackers could only dream of!” - 6:30 - Jason Kapadia
“In 2010, if any critical infrastructure was affected, it was still closer to parts in history where people still remember how to do things prior to doing everything online. Whereas now, the technology is so deeply entrenched into everything that we do that one key pin falls over, and we're at a loss until the tech bods get us a fix.” - 13:55 - Jag Sharma
“I think two weeks will go by, we won't hear anything, and it will be long forgotten… until 10 years time when it happens again, we're on the Disconnected podcast and Jag goes ‘Remember back in July 2024, when we had that problem with a blue screen? It's happened again…’” - 18:45 - Jen Campbell
“I love all the tech that they're bringing to the Olympic Games. I think they're going to be broadcasting in 8k as well, so it's good that they're pushing the tech here.” - 33:25 - Jason Kapadia
“I still can't get my head around the idea that I could walk into my living room and there's a robot in there doing the ironing. It's just one of those things that, until I see it, I won't really believe it.” - 25:00 - Jen Campbell
