I dont think America has ever gone back to the way that it was before the DC sniper the gunman most likely a skilled, marksman fired six times in the course of sixteen hours, the police say they have never had a crime. Quite like this. It is quite a mystery and then, as the DC sniper case, unfolded that terror boldly grew. This was the most intense man Hunt in american law enforcement. History, listen to monster DC, sniper on the eye, hard radio, F, Apple, podcast. Or wherever you get your packets welcome to stop you should now. Hasta for Stockholm paying into the podcast I'm Josh part with Charles W Smiley, face Brian Jerry Party, rolling,
I got no MO geologists, Josh Wink face sure, eggplant, impeach, woe, I know that there are, you can say, eggplant and and get away with even on the tv runs like a delightful meal. It doesn't at all. It is cute for sure They use bit Mogi now, some some which see, is not even in this research so decide, throw it out there early. I want to go on record as saying that, bit. Muggy is one of the best, because I'm honest. And do bit Mogadishu and have that sure? Ok, can you know you design Thing so I found that a lot of people Mozart, very honest. So I don't suppose you mean the being image of the person you're gonna will chubby bearded guy at every Someone like my God, dislike you here and I say yeah chasm, honest right and it make myself supermodel I gotta get.
I thought you meant you dislike like you'd say like I don't like that and mean it, Canada, no, I don't know if I've ever sent you a bit more decided to do that right now. I don't think you have checked in real time. Ok, what do you want You want me, I know of it. Yes, me crying in the rain because you're not near me? Can you try in the rain on an elephant I don't think I can bind the sea there won't survive. Elephant will do alpha, love elephants, where I can find the other now so display a kiss. Ok, so we're we're talking today are not a bit more Gisela they'll qualifies as sub type of this. Yes, but they use a lot of words. It's kind of like when you're playing charades in some ways, like that's closest, close, can't talk man, you have to shut up yet too short
that's the difference between Bit Mogi and EMO Gi and emo g is really what we're talking about today, which is a pic picked, a graph basically like a hieroglyphs. Ok for its yarn hieroglyphic yet, and I will go so go on record as saying dont really use emerges any more because of the bit Margie. And I dont use, and that often, but it's always funny to send a bit mogi to someone like Can I go out on a limb and b. I should I send this then you get one back the government, the first a bit muddied Hodgman, I thought he's gonna, think I'm just so stupid and he sent one right back. On a bit Mogi trying I can buy that for sure, but an oecd don't use. That emerges much anymore, but I did when they when I've. I guess they first gonna hit the the scene on the smartphone
right! Now I get a little I mean because he faces upper fine, but I dont like when I just get like a thief up reply for ok, that's fine or thumbs up is almost a nice. I can barely tolerate you yeah, that's what I feel like to me. That's what they're saying I can't be bothered to type ok right, I say K K cause a really kind of takes okay and in turn to even more personal, oh, I thought you were just jittery now. Amidst a gay and decided. No I'm saying K, K, Zinnia Legend airily fast thumbs. I do it is rather coffee I drink and the speed. I also say this that this article and I mean a kind of picked it because longing to be honest, We needed something a little easier this week. Is it's a tough weak, it is a little more in depth and you may have thought more in depth, unlike way more interesting than I thought sure the whole history of it. I thought was- fascinating. So let's talk about the history of and the the
widely agreed upon the start date for emergencies. Comes back in nineteen eighty to all the way back in eighteen, eighty, two and It wasn't. It emerged that first came out. It was what are known as emoticons, the predecessor of Just remember those days where I'll, just big dummies and type Colin prayers disease season and the way it would mean that they be less I'm anything the column princesses Smiley Face opera, I was thinking, quotation, sorry, yeah right so colon in a parentheses either way is a smiling Laser Phrony face, and that we can point to this is so cool that that day, No, who did this but a guy named Scott Farming, and he was either.
An admin or a frequent user or whatever had something to do with the message for the electronic message board, which a very, very early like chat, room forum, prototype back and nineteen. Eighty two, four Carnegie Melon University yeah, which we did some time their research. I descended we did not. We D Lula, we'll short video, corny melon four days short for days, but yet nineteen, eighty two here I don't know if you said specifically, but September, nineteen actually had the actual date right, which is amazing. And he said on bulletin board. If you put a smiley face using this Actually even Gus heated up with the dash is than others that they lost the dash pretty quick owing to dash. Do you assorted it's over
Do you know what I like earth like a horse face when I, like other people that are, can do like a whole picture out of typing things, like the shrug guy near there are none at all, I mean like this. Whole pay age with a big rooster like the kids in me, you and everyone we now yeah exactly they have heard they had like the book as well as the cutest touchy. I could. Maybe that is the one movie that has done Whimsie right and didn't go over the edge. It was whimsical with an exactly perfect non annoying degree, to every other movie with whimsy. You hate, yes, like shrug guy, though should I have never learned it is copy and paste. Well, I've never done it myself, but I dislike the way. It looks, and I thought that's creative because it looks exactly like what it is.
And I was always partial toot as well to the awkward which was, which was the Kohen ash o thou one going feelings about, because it can also mean, like I'm, really disappointed her. It's like sure, remains. That's why I like it, I think very personal. It is versatile. Is law too I so anyway, he's if you use a smiley, face, Colin in that dash in parentheses, In your comment to say it's humorous, then I think we can avoid it. Can I use to clear up like the acuity of text and things like that, not texting, but you know sometimes it's hard to read like weight as his person making a joke. Right. So some owes joking or being sarcastic gaelic useless thing you right and then the person will know- and we won't have an argument on the message board, because the poorest no you're joking right here and it started in nineteen. Eighty two and one
as we'll see what form and hit on the head was. The very point that emerges fulfil, which is they add, context to wane text, which is important so farm and came up with its triumphant victory like you said, September nineteen nineteen, eighty two now he said not a mountain of cash and eliminating trade market very wisely. So hopefully everybody sending him the money if I may use that emoticon, but before him- and I thought this was super interesting people have always, of course, but little smiley faces and letters, and things like that. So this was an extension of that, but some historians say in one thousand: six hundred and forty eight Robert Herrick wrote a poem entitled to fortune and it seemed as if he is purpose we included in a motor aligned upon my ruins smiling yet, and he puts
Colin and parentheses, app The word smiling and people say that. May have actually been. The very first use of this right read the little article that that had that there is a there is an addendum, an appendage. If you will see this is basically a really said in it, and it was from an english professor who said that at this time, in what sixteen forty eight in the mid seventeenth century there was no standardized punctuation, and so even a poet writing something sending it off to the printer would not certainly expect the printer to follow his punctuation to a t. I think it's a bit of a lame explanation. Why even go to the trouble yeah? Maybe
maybe this professor was saying the printer himself could have added this and that it wasn't the poets intent and there was this accident. I'm not sure I like to think that yet this guy had a tremendous amount of foresight and song, I believe in and in sixteen forty eight is Robert Herrick said he was your first emoticon everybody comeback, find me into them. Twelve story: that's where we going so we had the emoticon either beginning in one thousand, six hundred and forty eight or definitely beginning in nineteen. Eighty two and that's all we had to deal with for the good thirteen years It was the ladder and then ninety ninety five, we finally get our first emerges and we know where those key, from two and believe it or not, everybody became from Japan. I tell no surprise right right. When called n t t
The little o big see little M little low, don't come on we're gonna call dogma, because that's what it spells. And they had to icons of phone and a heart. And this is when and ninety ninety five people had pagers mere beepers. Did you ever have a painter? Okay, I M tonnes. Did you really You like two or three days, I'm depending on you, know what you needed, but I don't think I made I did, I think, when I got to the film business a headache. Pager, but was very very soon after that, my first like Nokia, phone right came to play. I didn't have a for years and years and yet a page of like a year gets a member correctly they were for those of you for your kids out there. This Pollard plenty of kids who listens to have no idea. What a pagers was. Tell him. It's like a little a little jackass did you
one thing that was like the size of her. It was like the size of a cigarette pack, but you guys all maybe not smoke the smaller than that a k is the size of bomb. I don't even know what says the size of a very tiny self. I guess we could say inches. It was about like two inch, by an internet just some unknown about a centimeter. If I small little box and you carried it with you and L a clip they could put on your belt. It was a magic little box because somebody would call a number now was associated with your pager and they would like in their phone number after the beep and hang up or press pound. I think afterward hang up, and then you go.
A little alert on that little thing you on your belt, then it it would be like B, B, B b peep, it was very annoying and that the persons number would be next to it and if they really need to talk to you than nine on one F, yes, you would then pull your car over, find a pay phone call. The number on your pager and say you got the stuff. Another important night yeah. That was how people communicate with one another before cell phone. It's really, it seems like a hundred years ago, and it's really funny that it was the mid nineties right and then of people said both we just make funds more portable, no, like ah that's actually And thought about that good idea examining it that bag phones and car funds at the time by visiting so the the Japanese, the entire country of Japan pagers in the early nineties there were early doktor here for sure and M this dough come oh
they had a line called a pocket bell pagers and they were the ones that first added emerges. There was a heart and a phone get a phone call me the heart very sweetly that the heart was one of the first ones, basically sending a message of love and then later on in the message- late love- I guess they on streamline that get rid of those icons because apparently Pocket bell pagers go out of, people that use them and they weren't into it. So that in ages were like forget you Doha were out here, we're going to Tokyo messaging cause. They ve got these little but would eventually be called emerges. I love that that the dogma like they got all business like they re like we can have the hard on their yeah. That reminds me of parliament favour onion headline of all time, man, gently ends. Business call with. I love you who have the greatest ever that's a good one,
my favorite was always drugs. When war on drugs did you the video they made with the I think, lil Wayne with it They are saying the d a had tat, Lil Wayne too good, like carry out the work. Drugs by doing all the drugs logistic pictures as Asia were yet, but they would they usually clips of him like honoured to uninstall robust chain to talk, but he's so wasting diamond making sense in the additive clip they they interspersed it like. It was a news report and he was doing a great job is kids. It's funny to you After ten years of doing this, we gotta do some. Cool things. Because of the show and one of my favorite things ever still is. That when we knew people at the onion. They took my picture one day and at still trot that out as area man- and I will be-
Mug will be in an onion article every now and then really cause area and yes shut out Joe Randalls over Jonathan back in the deck illness in the office are right. So you take a break. Ok, we haven't yet Let us take a break and we'll be back to talk
where they went with document register this high. This is celebrity acting coach, Tracy more and I have a brand new podcast, this spirited actor, where I gave you the tools to succeed as a working actor. My clients include, must arrives fifty sad, Lala, Anthony and Cardy, be just to name. A few here were thought to yourself. How can I learned the craft of acting and break into the business? Well, each week I'll talk to industry, guess like casting directors, agents, directors and producers and I'll have celebrity Gaslight Vanessa, Simmons, Angela Ye Sean Ringgold and many many more. They will share their failures. Their struggles, Emily triumphs on their journey in this business. These are not just the leading experts there, my
and so we're gonna keep it one hundred for you all the time. So join me on the spirited actor podcast each week on the Iheart radio, Apple apple, podcast or wherever you get your podcast remain so dogma said. We're done with your kids. It is in no way God come back you're like a third of our because we had no idea Luckily they had an engineer named, she could coup cootie you can. Get it. The japanese room around it and I guess Cootie the sun will go He was working on a mobile internet platform called I'm owed, and he said you know what we are just trying to get some pretty basic thought to cross here
am I gonNa Earl, unlike a mobile network, so, like your phone suffer the news or the whether something like that you're headlines literally had news headlines and what the stock markets doing or if its sunny out right right and stuff, it's going to, like repeat like pretty predictably over like fairly short timescale, so you're gonna be Sonny this day and it's probably gonna be sunny against you. Gonna go back to the sunny thing over and over again, rather than you know, typing out sunny worth has had an icon of a son right, and this is a huge breakthrough and what this guy did was create the very first emerges for this. I mode platform and he actually coined the terminology to sugar. Tucker could eat that's right and there was a character one or two hundred fifty character limit, which is one of the main,
reason behind. Why we have emerges is good. So, like you said, he didn't have to type out sunny kiddies he's one character and in nineteen ninety nine sounded like the future. Back, Remember it's crazy, He developed a hundred and seventy six. These initial emoticons. Four things dealing with the weather, sports food and drink love course, and, like you said he be made up the word II, which was picture. Oh gee, which was character and that's where it comes from yet so the The thing was, then you had how many, come up with two hundred and two hundred and seventy six initial ones. Okay. So the thing is this: this mobile platform I mode to get. This is Eighteen. Ninety nine we're talking about they. They had a like two hundred fifty characters, tat
yeah, but these broadband networks were invented. Yet this is all a really low, fi stuff still sure. So his view which, ahead of his time, so we can ahead reverse engineer how to get these things across they had a stroke of genius is theirs finite number, these things, rather than sending a picture. From one phone do another. When one user wanted to send that emerged, they stored the pictures in the phone yeah and they could activate those emerges from a simple to two Alfred too. I guess to buy. Now a numeric code So when your phone got the right alphanumeric code, it would produce a smiley face, get really set the state for what we have today, yeah yeah yeah, Jimmy was over there at this time. She's in Japan teaching and she told me like you know she came back and I was like. Why would we don't have texts like every
tax. You dont have hello Kitty and it was like years before, like Japan was definitely doing this, fairly early compared to us? I remember, seeing the first hand held, cell phone that wasn't the big brick phone. Some of those in ally in the in the late eighties early nineties, like literally a Hollywood backlog. Some producer had a brick bone right, like oh, my god, but the first I kind of cell phones. When I was, I was in London and I guess it would. Add to a ban ninety five or ninety six, I had never seen one was it like that this big rectangle with the flip down mouth piece in the pull up ten or something like that may not have had the flip down, but it was. You know it was smaller than phone, but I Member thinking why, like London, there on the leading edge of technology, I've never seen that before when the worlds
I don't get you home and I fear that thing So many years pass more. They call them. I don't know how much they call them ammo geezer icons back then. Probably but now the guided coined the term emotive yeah, but I just don't know if it was like the popular term. At the time I see, I think it was in Japan, ok, yeah again ahead of the head of the thing out of the curve yeah. I just want to make sure that that get been gotten across. Very much. I and two thousand ten a company called. The code consortium well was company? Was the Eunuch consortium year or non profit? and they are a group of tech companies, and when tears from the tech industry that basically really understood this, saw the writing on the wall, but the emerging on the wall and where going in there is. What do we do? This we need to create. A library needs, be standardize because I remember early on- was smartphones in a different platforms, someone
send you an email and emerging from an Android Iphone. It wouldn't come across, so they. So we need to standardize this, so it can offer across all? I always devices yeah or even, if, like the phones head, same emerges. They may not used the same codes right, so you might get like the opposite of what you're looking for you lookin for a peach and you get it right. He said. Why are you trying to say man, so there, there was this great need for uniformity, but it didn't come out until with what year was the two dozen ten man. So this unit code consortium- and the daily mail by the way call it the unicorn consortium. If you noticed- and I called at the Eunuch consortium, we either way, can you pronounce it both ways? I think the its do. That nurseries. Are you for cell phone, so full circle yeah, so eunuch get together and they say we're gonna we're gonna make. This is like collective, open source, nonprofit effort to encode
these things and create a universal standards, and in doing so they ve made what some people point tools will see as one the first universal languages yet, and also by did not really. Strangely it it's it. It shocked me to know that no one owns this love that there is no path. Or ip property rights to emergencies and love it it's great, but it's kind of shocking that something so yeah liquid, some like no one's making money off of it. I love that it's wonderful in written, so rare, that's quite shocking it is now. We should say that some people point to the Unicorn consortium being. Dominated by some major major companies, think Google, it Apple really have a lot people in their area, but again it's a nonprofit,
group, and there are rules that are followed. I think the implication is that their if Google or apple puts up some suggestions which they do Sometimes they may have a little more likelihood of getting past. Then other people's emerges, maybe probably and then also since they're, both american companies, the unit, The set of emerges tend to skew a little more american lagging behind in hamburgers and french fries riser there, and now they're just now starting to get too like euros, and things like that. These are not to huge downfall, in return for this thing, being open source and unknown by anybody, except for the entire world right, but one huge downfall, because it's open source and anyone can do anything with these movies is it we got Mogi movie, because some Hollywood executive was I we don't have to pay for them.
We must go and make a movie right will be the first one with an emerging movie it since we do have to pay, for we can put all that money into making something really great is ethically and they did I, I did it obviously but in it, but I remember when it was announced there would be oh movie. I just remember thinking and while it really delivered on on that reaction from what I understand them, you think it was a bomb in all respects, but they still made like four times what they into, I think the box, I don't hundred million and they spent like fifty million on it But I will say this: I have no idea what it's about at all about emerges, but but my prediction, having, seen it read anything about it is it was sums dumb story about the different emotions coming together in the end to solve some prop sure, you're right
I'm sure you Jackman was in it a jeered from where you are beaten up by his sharp little yeah. There's a shark NATO. Although they get one of the guys who used to be in Silicon Valley, T J, Mitchell, Dj Miller Miller. He was in it and says looking up the emerging movie and he apparently is accused of in a bomb and remain just saw that in that crazy here he, I don't know how he's doing that article made me worry for him there. He I think he got in some. Are and on a train with the lady and then and then was there another train and called in a bomb threat on the train that she had a bomb right and you can't you can't do that. The alleged allegedly allegedly, you can't do that. T J, though you really but yeah I lay on either the emerging movie, could lose the star absolutely, but was here said he I planted the beach. Well he was the star. Then
probably would have been crying with laughter because in two thousand seventeen nice and I believe for three straight years, thus fifteen sixteen and seventeen with laughter- was the most popular emerging, which I have issue with that and into in fifteen. It was actually this what I have problem with action. Dictionary chose. It is the word of the year. I don't have a problem with that really yeah that shows x for dictionaries, keeping up with, with the ever evolving language? Their descriptive is not prescriptive. That makes them a opening in my book. So what's your problem, my problem is That means that crying with actors overused none of the people, maybe one hundreds of one percent of the people who sent the crying with laughter emerging world actually, crime lameter, whose origin laugh out how people like Ella will
That's not what that means. Everybody you ruined your ruin. Laughing allowed, you're, ruining the crime. Was that your saying literally, if you're crying with laughter is the only time you can send that not just saying laughter is the only time you can send that not just saying it's really funny. It would be a much better world if that were the case. Ok, I, you think it's over used and I think this part of the by things. One reason why everybody so cynical and sarcastic is because her so out of town. Their emotions that we have the symbolic room to stand in for us that, instead of actually experiencing in everything, has to be so much bigger and bold razor actually is, there's no settled to your new ones It is ironic because there's tons subtlety and new ones in actually communicating with the movie right. I mean there's a medium laughter, emoticon, probably right, but I'm sure poem later emerging. But it's the same thing is using exclamation points trapped in you know
so like all of a sudden. If you take away the exclamation point, people are like. Are you mad at me what's wrong to adapt? Definitely gotten in tax exchanges, like do you wanna go? Do this thing or whatever, and if someone since back sure You do that or yeah you do that alot. If you do some back, she were like one August, I not very happy about this. I guess I'll start adding exclamation point no, but you shouldn't have to is my point. You should not have to, and rethink reasoning rip. The bandit. I won't ever want to see an exclamation point out again that you dont me much less. A double the one. That really is unsettling me when, when somebody please with sure period. Ass. His lower case means that means things are not good well. Right, then sure You don't want me to be a funny, MRS Schreyer, I mean sure, but that's how I say at my head
So I say at my head, but I guess lower case. Your period is definitely that saying something as an apparently under the lower case. Word you sending a message, but if you're, not if you're just saying sure, like normally that that's the problem with with text based, lacks context that wax emotion, female. How were used to communicate right any kind of tax base year. That's all I'm saying they just just well yeah you're right that you have to add some punctuation about the role that emerges, fulfil and we'll talk about that after break. However, that sure lowercase period I'm Laurie,
gone, and I spent the last decade reporting on technology. I helped introduced the world to companies like Instagram maneuver when they were just a handful of people and an idea. Interviewing founders like Mark Zuckerberg, Inject Dorsey, as their companies quite literally changed the world. But now I want to show you my Silicon Valley. It's a new weekly podcast series called first contact with lorries. Evil. First contact will give you what I like to call dinner table access, detect leaders how I see them human. What new acts and sometimes emotional conversations about us, humans and technology and will tackle ethical issues of the future, because these not complicated really quickly from engineers coating thoughts to surf the dating acts to enter my conversations with tech leaders. First contact will bring you rare access to the billion airs and also the people on the fringes, the ones that you made for we're, but I The future listen first contact with lorries evil. That's me on the radio out on Apple pie, chasms or wherever you get your podcast.
All right. So we'll cover some interesting stature. Ninety two percent of people use emerges online. What but, MRS almost everybody while surprising and the other eight percent on the other. The other eight percent on the other, a percent have their arms folded like I'm not going to do it. Darn it We ve been dancing around this speech in eggplant thing long enough begin there now, where we might as well. So these a faint We become stand ends for body parts right. The peaches, unlike the almond brothers sense of the word, and so they met the. Never thought about that. Oh yeah eat a pitcher so
and became a thing to send a peach with an egg plant, I M so old and that loop that I didn't know this was a real thing. I didn't either in until this article. Like our yeah, obviously weapons, especially after eating about em like then you look at playing a girl. Another famous emerges the poop icon to see one of the most ubiquitous. Very popular in Japan has become huge in Japan, popular in America. With its one little googly eyes and I think in Google even have flies buzzing around the poop, the first poop, which was a little much frankly but yeah. I think we're back and like two thousand eight or something like that. Google came out with their their own poop icon for Gmail to dozens
and they put flies around. There was his growth, but they it since somebody added the googly eyes later on, and now it's like a mass got yet approved. The pupil Oh without the eyes like gross like what's wrong with you, I would you send there, gross like what's wrong with you. I would you send that it's like sure period rises, lecture exclamation point right: ok, I think you're a falling along, there has been a lot of the kind of man. I will call them controversies over the years like at last. Just last year, Google in two thousand seventeen had a cheeseburger icon that had the choice. He's under the meat Patty and people went berserk, that's really stupid. The people went berserk, but is also still but the cheese under the media is justified. Your joy did that in some of the person who make that never see a cheeseburger before it's a really ducking stupid thing to do
If it was somebody who really had never seen a cheeseburger before than God bless him and I feel bad form for the outrage they created, because even if even put the bonnet upside down, even if they left off the ketchup doesn't matter. It still looks a cheeseburger. I now settled down. Sometimes I wonder if they do that. Some of the Socrates programme owners are designers. Coders. Whoever does these they did on purpose system. Rib people, like I'm gonna, put the cheese and why does it it yeah said, the family did apparently the ceo of Google I did not know that this is the sea of Google Sunday, but I guess he said we are going to drop everything else. We are doing to go sort this out here. Imagine fairly sarcastically. I would think so. Sarcastic emoticon re whatever that is, that is like I dont know. If that would be. I think you gotta use
you know what you would. What is a sarcastic amount bet, there's one people use and where does not hip to that when they might ask another word, is old there was a survey for matched outcome that claimed that people who used emerges head sex more often than those people who and apparently the wine Mogi is huge in Britain. Stray lions, love their drug, related emerges and we're gonna be in Australia. Rights organ of another- that's all about when went guiana- and of course we need to talk about the skin tone very early on it was I think in two thousand and fifteen, the unit Code consortium change the default. In turn to what they call Simpsons, yellow but then he had the ability to tell them to different think five different skin tones to represent. You know at least five different shades of skin right, which
a good start right. It was a good start. In there I mean there's they are still just getting going. There's plenty that have been left off like they just now are staring at redheads two things curly heard people, that's crazy, which is crazy. I'm cool that their adding it but yeah there's, there's always somebody who's feelings are her because their left out by the emerging people, every They also say that too many smiley faces. If dealing with work and if you're doing with work, maybe avoid emerges would be my guest. It depends on who you talking with me: if it's a friend or whatever depends on your job to yeah, I fear and banking, in communicating with the client. You just met, depends what job it is to. Of course, sir, There is apparently a study other they said, contrary to what you think using see too many smiley. Emoticons dont increase your perception of warmth. They decrease perception of competence. I totally,
the bigger study was from oh the journal social cycle. Go impersonality. Science is a two thousand. Seventeen studying they said Not only is it a smiley face emerging, not a smile, it has some of the opposite effects, which is like my minutes. It's totally makes sense. If you think about it somebody smiling you like. Oh, I want to be rather person so may soon, but a smiley face you like I'll what an idiot Vienna it's really easy to cross line while year in its also really easy to get in trouble. Do do not send emerging threats, because that's a real thing there. People all over the world that have been arrested for sending like her. Gun emerges will that they were angry at and getting arrested for, making like actual threat threat, threat that that counts legally, which so that were raised.
Some questions about what emerges? Are they language? Are they art, there's actually wanna give there's this guy. I think rapport, actually name young Jake? Why you and G Jake? You said that Absence of the o in young indicates he might be wrapper young, young Jake you in car, but young Jake is an emerging portrait, honest man, that's that was so cool. That also year, so this guy does portraits of people really good portrait strictly from jeez layered then really interesting ways. He's Gallagher the great Instagram you check out to why you Angie Jake, but good check that one out. Also do name Fred, Bennington and he trains it'd Moby Dick into, What emerges is called them. Would you dick in every word, Every line of Moby Dick has been trained,
it in due emerges, and this guy did this right? He hired three people to translate. Single line, and then he had he hired another group of people who would like at each line and then look at the line of text in say this is the one of the three that's the that best. This across every line, soon get emerging dick online for two hundred bucks for hard copy two hundred dollars, but I think he sells it by the pdf or five bucks, and is Moby Dick represented by an egg platinum, each term release. Yet quite so, there's a lot of like it's obvious that emerges art, but there's a lot people out there in linguists included, who are saying, oh geez words too, and maybe a language is developing in front of our eyes- is pretty interesting as dance. Now, though, technically, if your linguist, it is not a languid right as it lacks grammar witches
pictures that allow you to take words and put them into different combinations to create higher thoughts. Oh, do not yet allow us to do that because they re out real rules. But there I mean there are people studying at this one article he said, woman aim Rachel TAT men, a linguist six Phd candidate from University of Washington GO huskies sure she did sums Bodies like where she would show people pictures like photographs. Yeah and then say. How would you emerged that description of that picture right right in their different pictures that were suddenly different right I mean there are obviously different like there are. The first one was a man counting money and she would say, would use. Would you should say what this picture doing by emerging? Man, emerging dollar bill remote, dollar bill. Emerging man and the results I mean
It seemed like you didn't get alot. There were fifty fifty for any. He's a seem like most of them that she got were like seventy five to eighty percent of people. Can a citing one way or the other. As far as fart as far as There goes so she believes kind of firmly that she's pretty and that thereby directional will depends depend so with the one of the main counting money at eighty percent of the people, said that they would. They would depict that emerging wise with man and then dollar bill. And the reason why she said it was because there was an agent patient relationship right agent. Was the man sitting on the money patient, and it was very clear, So there's really only one way to say it: man, money remain, is counting money very much like a subject in a pretty kitten, a sentence: that's one way they could They can also be. They can also kind of disk ride the lay out of a photo too
there is not a very strong agent patient relationship right so take away. Basically is that they can represent like the physical arrangement of things and also where so. There is a though another one was a picture of a man walking past a castle and the castles, basically that the big part of the picture in the man's pretty small, but the man is in the lower right corner. Some most people said that they would do castle. Man because the man's that acting a right has the council acting on a man, but that's the way they see it yeah, that's the way it arranging the picture, that's what I would do so she was saying that it can it can. It can mimic the structure of sentences in it can also mimic the structure of pictures. Makes a movie definitely their own thing near, but The whole reason the whole point of emerging, the reason that we use them. There's a guy named Viv Evans. I think he's Bangor University he's a huge proponent of,
Oh geez, as a new way to communicate rather than a step backwards. Casinos alot of people but people who hate vocal fry emerges stupid any by using the most stable and is a giant step backwards for language, which is what why I think the Oxford English dictionary was making such a statement by choosing crying faces the word of the year right they were, they were casting their lot on the side of emotion, being a new form of communication there. So with Evans is like yes, it's absolutely true and they what they do is they stand in for things like gestures in intonation thing that are missing in its strictly text based right. It's like texting or twitter, or an email and that's what emerges do they add emotion? They convey new, wants to it, otherwise in there and their fun sure like get the stick from your speech,
He could stick at a european level, fun with emerges, but you know it's fine chuck is the apparently. The mystery is never been solved as to exactly why eggplant is in there in the first place you, don't have a weird when considering we didn't have redheads until recently media or curly hair people, but there has always been an egg play its. It makes you wonder for sure, and this hey I've got was something he said, which is a kind of a cool move. Apple wants to be more inclusive with their emerges soda are proposing as a starting point and not a comprehensive list there. Proposing, including emerges to represent people disabilities. So things like a man or a woman with a cane prosthetic legs and arms and a guide dogs hearing AIDS people in wheelchairs stuff, that right and those will be part of emerging twelve point. Oh, what should come out in March, two thousand and nineteen, and they just released
gee eleven point out to the public, which includes the partying face cup. Eggs. Is that with this huge losses? Yet these are all available. Now they're going to be available on phones in August error that what the list was released to the public and this this unicorn consortium there Take all these under environment that they also put him out into the public. To say what do you guys think about these two right and there's a that they will never take they never will. We will accept one of a living person, a deity or a business ago, all those are off the table immediately, but then other when they want to make sure to specific and like the golden arches you'll, never see something not as long as it's open source as there are some pretty ones coming down the pike. This August, gonna supervillain is its a guy twisting, as MR it's kind of like good doctor. Stranger Stranger, whatever doktor strangely pop collar, Cape gay.
These have yeah. It obviously gets across, especially when its next to the superhero one that it's the supervillain I think of my favorites coming soon are. Now, our amulet. That is, I don't either mosquito. That seems relevant. There's, there's one it's coming is probably the best and, most of all time the clown face. The thing you it's really well done, yak is at so versatile, is. But it's also like a good looking emerging here is Eric Blount. No, it's a great perfect, universally beautiful, and I can offer you know we did our corner besides, I care member. If it's in August counter what what type year round it is, but it's a great cloud in you. See all these. By the way it emerged Peter I just I saw it. I would you think I don't I don't use. It feels good.
I did penny wisely error, which brother Eliza scars Guard. That's why you say we don't know the never know by Adam. He Just amazing John yeah and I had no skin in the game. I had never read any of it or seen any previous versions at all, and I just thought I had a lot of heart and was creepy and I thought it was really good. I thought I was good too, but you could also tell that stranger, said, come out while they were writing this, like odorless retool, is a little bit too really hit the stranger things crowd. I don't think that's true. I think it is true. I think there were. I think that script was locked long before stranger things came up and I think they retooled it. Anything else and well just a kid from stranger things in it: those low on the nurse I'm curious about the timeline there so there's another one coming out to its a dude with FRO who looks exactly like slim, good body, that's coming out, Gee Pd L away his slim good body land
