Why is it that when it's time to buy your friend a gift,
0:03
it is impossible to think of something
0:06
that will actually be meaningful to them
0:08
and not just a piece of junk?
0:10
And what can we do as a society to correct this problem?
0:15
This is the bane of my existence, Ariel.
0:17
I am terrible at gift giving.
0:19
It is not my love language.
0:21
It is not my circus.
0:23
Certainly not my monkeys.
0:26
I am bad at gift giving and the primary reason is
0:29
I have a terrible memory for things people tell me they want.
0:32
I just don't remember.
0:33
And people don't go around walking,
0:36
talking about the gifts that they want.
0:39
But like, you hear people, they'll be talking
0:41
and they'll say like, ah, I wish I had that thing.
0:43
Or like, ah, I need to solve this.
0:44
Like, you do hear it in your day to day with your friends.
0:48
Well, a couple of years ago, I started trying
0:49
to solve this problem by every time a thing in my brain went,
0:53
they just mentioned something they might like some day.
0:56
I write it down in my little contacts app as a note
0:58
so that later when I'm thinking, ah, I'd like to buy Ariel a gift.
1:02
I can pop open the note and see what Ariel has mentioned
1:05
in my presence as a thing she might like.
1:08
And I can give a more personalized gift
1:10
and I'm not freaking out making a decision on the fly.
1:15
You can remember later, Tip and Dale's.
1:17
Go to our website, DailyTips podcast, nailed it.
1:21
And tell us a tip that helps you in your life.
1:24
We have a form there where you can submit.
1:27
And we love to do guest tips usually on Fridays.
1:31
You know, I'm just realizing Ariel.
1:33
We're like almost two and a half years into this podcast.
1:36
We really should come up with a different name
1:39
between our guest tippers and the tip of Dale's submitted tips
1:42
Did I call it a guest tipper?
1:44
Yeah, I do it every time.
1:46
Right, we've got guest tippers.
1:48
We've got Tip and Dale's.
1:49
That's the general question.
1:50
Tip and Dale's, can you please submit to us your ideas
1:53
for names we could call tip and Dale's submitted tips?
2:00
It's something else.
2:02
Tip and tips is crazy.
2:03
Tip and Dale's help us out.

2:20
is changing the business world and our lives.
2:22
So each week on Big Technology,
2:24
I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech

Asking where this is all going,
2:31
they come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon,
2:35
So if you want to be smart with your wallet,
2:37
your career choices, and meetings with your colleagues
2:40
