do you use siri? 's to. >> i do just a little bit. someone should remake 2001 a space odyssey with siri there. and hopefully that is the truth. >> i found this on the web. how advanced is siri and she is kind of a play in the sense. about how much time with spent putting our eyes into things that aren't there. starting with perspective in painting. and going through the magic lantern --dash lantern shows. there's something about just as with an optical illusion you know that it's it to the image image-based still see the 3d scare and you can't tell it otherwise. that's just the way our brains are wired. once you get to more than 12 frames per second on a close-up of the human being talking with audio you just feel like you know that person. you feel like you've built in some kind of that. and what american experience. the similar emotional illusion where we have that. the assistance and actually know us a little bit. they change over time and so after you been with us for a year. people will develop very intense emotional connections.

genie: these talks on siri are different than others we have seen in the past. and for the first time, a military arm from the rebel movement is at the table. robert parsons has more. robert: it is the first time this has happened. it does several things. first of all, it tells us that the situation on the ground has changed. the big change, obviously, is in the form of aleppo. the position of the rebels is much weaker than before, and the russians clearly want to use the changed military situation to make sure that the peace negotiations, when they get moving, reflect the changes on the ground. in part, it is about what we are going to be talking about, and that is primarily not politics of a cease-fire. there had been a suggestion that they were going to be pushed into making a political concession. they wanted to make it quite clear, as we heard, that they will not talk about politics. they will not be pushed by the russians or the syrian government into making political concessions. that will be left for a later date, presumably at geneva, when the political

this is delicious, siri!ggersons. >> carson and i talked about this before. i was not, in theory a fan of the sweet potato. but eating it now, siri, very good. >> thank you, al. >> it goes back in the oven. cook it for another 15 minutes until the eggs just set. if you want to cook them a little longer so you don't have the runny yolks, you do that. >> i like the runny yolks. garnish them. we have sicilantro, avocado, bacon, cheese. >> i want to get to this. this has or it your favorite. we're not going to make the recipe. >> right. you can get it online. if you have a little time. these are banana bread cinnamon rolls. those are ridiculous. >> if you have ripe cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. i'll throw that in. we're going to whisk it up and you have a cream cheese icing. >> those are like so. and you can't go wrong. >> really good. >> siri, thank you very much. breakfast with the daily's. you can get the recipe on our website. back after your local news. >>> 8:56 is your time now on this tu

i did not know the name siri but we talked and i was careful in the book, even though he told me a lot of things in detail what he wanted to do, i decided, you know, i shouldn't put in things in that he might not be able to do and that apple may be working on for the next couple of years. but at the last board meeting when he tenders his resignation as c.e.o., they have a lunch afterwards. all the engineers bring out the various things they're working on. and one of them which i knew was voice out soon was this recognition thing. and they know steve is not feeling well but he has been brought into the meeting so he is going to try to make it look bad. so he asks what is now called siri, do i need an umbrella, and it says, the prediction is for sunny day tomorrow in palo alto. so, it really is doing the beautiful thing. so finally steve says, are you a man or are you a woman? and they all kind of hold their breath because he is trying to trick the machine, and siri is very good. the two layers, and it says, they have not yet assigned me a gender.

odyssey where siri is like i'm sorry, dave. [laughter] a >> host: she is kind of a play toy in a sense. >> guest: there's a chapter in the book on evolution about how much time they spent trickingw our eyes into perceiving things that are out there starting with the perspective of going through the magic lantern shows and one of the arguments i made in the chapter is there is something about just as with an optical illusion, you can't -- you know that it is a to be image that you see the three d. square and can't tell your brain otherwise. that's just the way that our brains are. once you get to more than 12 frames per second and a human being talking with audio you feel like you know that person didn't like there is some kind of an emotional connection to that person. what we are going to experience pretty soon is a similar kind oi emotional illusion where we have these virtual systems like siri only they actually know us a little bit and engage in real conversation and change over time. there would be this personality to deve

caitlin: apple's assistant siri has been out for five years since it debuted on the iphone 4-s but it's use has been mainly used to the iphone, which could be a problem for apple, because by some estimates only 23% of smartphone owners actually use voice assistants like siri on a weekly basis. >> it's so important of a category and amazon has so proven that there is a customer demand and that it's a sexy new kind of interface for information, that apple would be insane not to get out there with a product that's similar. but it's all about the implementation, and it's also going to be a real disadvantage not to have been first. caitlin: but then again, apple wasn't first with the smart phone or tablet market either. and back in september, bloomberg reported that apple is, in fact, pushing ahead with an echo style competitor. so we can only expect this arket to keep growing in 2017, with idc forecasting shipments jumping 130% to 21 million. caroline: caitlin meehan with that report. and we'll bring you more on the breakthrough tech of 2016, including the hits and the misses in the quest f

wheeler: you know when siri , does not get it, you are in trouble. [laughter] so, let me make the case for, for choosing the fork in the road that says that we are going to keep moving things forward. first, first, because i believe in the value of history and the historical facts are clear. those who build and operate networks have both the incentive and the ability to use the power of the network to benefit themselves even if doing so harms their own customers in the greater public interest. now, this is not casting aspersions at the network operators. it is simply stating a historical fact that reflects basic human nature. it is no different than the human impulse that prompted the imposition of speed limits. the question going forward is whether the isps and policymakers will recognize that obeying speed limits helps everyone. the second point in favor of staying the course is that it certainly appears to be working. the overall goal of the new policies was to promote a thriving broadband echo system, and that is exactly what is happening. in the

we looked at how it's impacting the consumer world with alexa and siri. our mission is similar.o take the productivity software and enable companies to move from email and file attachments that we've been living in for the past decades. i love the idea of ringing in people with a consumer product assignment talent he to see how we can improve our work life. caroline: it such a hot competitive space. the ucs competition and friendly fire and helping push your vision? who do you really admire? bret taylor: those are great examples. they have a similar mission, can we be productive without email? you probably do not email your spouse anymore, you text. everyone under the age of 25 probably has four or five messaging apps on their phone. i believe there's a better way of doing things and i really think we are on a mission together to prove to the world that this is a mainstream trend. we are going to move on from email in the traditional office to something better. showk at us is trying to businesses through results that there is a better way of being productive. do companies such a

where is siri? >> in the meantime, it was so good to see sunshine this morning. >> and you're lucky. your walk in the parking lot may be the sunniest all day. >> it was great, though. >> i bet it was. the first sliver of sunshine since mid to late last week moved into the area. but almost as soon as the sun started to warm things up again, oh, the clouds are back. look at our tower camera here. lots of clouds have bubbled back up into our skies right now. and they're racing on by in a fairly stiff northwesterly breeze. this is going to be with us for the remainder of the day. big area of low pressure, the nor'easter now off the delaware coast. the main center of low pressure is spinning moisture back up into new england. it's all rain at the elevations inland and back out to our west, winter storm warnings from the twin cities through iowa. that will be by passing us to the north, though it will bring a little chance for a sprinkle or two i think early on thursday morning. for today, though, look at

google home, alexa, siri from apple. >> you talk about too much hype going on, one may think of the likes of nvidia with 200% growth last year. do you think that's overdone? >> so we like nvidia as a story. there's a huge move towards using gpus for artificial intelligence. i think it had a huge move last year driven mainly by gaming. the artificial intelligence in other areas is lacking at the moment, though i think it will be big. my expectation is nvidia reflects the typical hype cycle. a lot of excitement, things get pushed up way too high initially. then they tend to come back. this would have been 1999, 2000, things come crashing back down and then a period of much more enlightened growth. so we are in that peak of inflated expectations. the real opportunity has yet to come. >> you put a big bet on growth stocks. has not entirely paid off yet. is this the year that changes? >> i think it is. two k over a series of time, growth names have went down. google is trading lower than texas instruments or microsoft. that's the first thing. the second is the trump victory drives reflation tr

the feature part of the starbucks app doesn't use siri but its own digital brearista tt listens for orderseven something wild and complicated. and pay ahead of time. >>> starbucks customers will also be able to order their favorite cup of coffee using their voice. the company is teaming up with the alexa customers can use a starbucks reorder skill on the devices to place their orders and send to a starbucks location. customers can also place the order by talking into their smartphone just as if they were talking to a barista. that feature is expected to roll out in phases nationwide throughout the summer. people at starbucks are asking for all kinds of crazy no foam, no whip, extra hot -- >> now you got to talk to that thing. >> see thi just want a black c. i don't even want to put cream in it. i totally feel you. today it is actually going to shape up to be a nice day. we have the sun coming out through much of the area. 44 degrees is the temperature in the district. most of the area mostly mid to low 40s right now. as we go through the afternoon you are going to start to warm up a bit. i
