Creator of Siri speaks! -- Steve Jobs secrets, life advice, and Penn & Teller FOOL US stories

An interview of Adam Cheyer, the creator of Siri, engineer, magician and a founding member of Change.Org. In this interview, we hear about Adam's experiences working with Steve Jobs, the Deep Fake Penn voice that was created for Boris Wild's Fool Us act, how Siri first began, the origin of the voice for Siri, and some life advice for all of us. Plus Adam helps me analyze an Aesop's Fable.

** I personally use these items below for filming my videos!
📷 My Main Camera (fast autofocus): amzn.to/2MwhPEA
🎥 Lens for "talking to the camera" (great bokeh): amzn.to/2MtgAWQ
💡 Powerful Light (helps video quality): amzn.to/2QOTFcw
👍 Soft Box (for that nice soft light on your face): amzn.to/2NriW99
🎙 Microphone with arm: amzn.to/33xgV3x
Extra equipment
🔵 Tripod for camera: amzn.to/2U1O8Ri
🔵 Light Stand: amzn.to/3aawnoM
This light stand is kinda not sturdy enough because the light and soft box are so large; the whole thing can tip over easily. But it's what I use! 😆 Or you can perhaps find another light stand that is rated to hold more weight. Or just put something heavy (like sandbags) onto the bottom to lower the center of gravity.
-- AESOP'S FABLES book -- In case you want to follow along. :) This version looks almost identical, but I see mine was published in 2014 and has a bear on the front cover. I believe it's the exact same concept though. A fun little book with thought-provoking stories from long ago.

Hope you enjoy this interview! 👍🏻 BTW... Unfortunately, my entire KZbin channel is currently under attack (no joke), and as of April 2nd... ~18 of my most recent reaction videos have been blocked worldwide. 😐 They can't be viewed anymore. More to be coming on this soon... but if you would like to help out... it can be done with any (or all) of the following options: 1) like / subscribe / comment 2) watch the whole video instead of only a little snippet 3) possibly share this video with a friend, on a forum, or on social media 4) consider joining my Patreon to help support my channel more directly. www.patreon.com/JasonParker I imagine that about half of my revenue will be disappearing soon... which is NOT the magic trick I was hoping to perform. 😅 Anyway... on the Patreon I have some magic tutorials, so that's also a bonus to say thanks for helping out. Sorry for this big downer of a message -- but it's something that just occurred recently and I'm still trying to figure out what options are available... BUT... most of all... thanks for being here in the first place. Thanks for watching 🙂

[@onedaya_martian1238]

Can you write with a penn, and teller us if this is because of using other magicians show material ? Wow !! Or is someone russin' to block U. in some other country. There have been a lot of my favorite KZbinrs hit with stuff...changes from green (ad friendly) to yellow ( not ad friendly), killing their revenue as well as blocking some content. Something is up !!!

[@TreyCook21]

Wow! What a terrible thing to wake up to; demonitization on a large scale. I'm letting this interview play out to gain you a view, but honestly, I don't watch them.... but I still let them play so you get that statistic. I do love the reactions and fables, though. I still think stuff just happens for some people. Even the most unmotivated people can end up being big stars and people that try everything get shot down. Adam can try to be the motivational poster child for success, but sometimes we can't get out.

Sadly, yesterday when i tried to re-watch some pen & teller playlists on KZbin, 90% of the videos that i previously watched without issues were now marked as blocked in my country, so it might be something wider that is not limited to your channel.

As a computer science engineer that is really into AI and cutting edge science, It was a really nice unexpected surprise to find a proper tech talk on a channel mainly focused on magic tricks. :) Compering the thought process of magicians and entrepreneurs was eye opening and thought provoking. Thank you for sharing this. Great talk, loved it.

[@Dark_eVader]

WOW! This was a very mind opening interview that you have given us Jason. Adam Cheyer reminds me of Tom Cruise and Steve Jobs rolled into one. I'm also waiting for that time that Siri can be what Adam envisioned it to be for everyone around the world but because of how Apple put so much limitation, it looks like it would be several more years before that happens. Adam those are very thought provoking advices that you have shared to the community. Thank you both so much. I'm in my 60s and couldn't really claim to have accomplished anything. In several self help books including Rich Dad Poor Dad, they also talk about having focus on one goal and as much as I tried, maybe I didn't have the patience to see it through. Adam's final advice is what I could focus on and hopefully make that change. Stay safe and much love from the Philippines.

[@harshreality2672]

I just watched this whole interview. I really enjoyed learning about Adam and his life! He has some terrific advice in how to obtain your goals and gain success 😊. Thanks so much for doing this interview Jason! 💜😉🙌👍💜

Super interesting interview. Well done! I like how you’ve taken the deep fake voice thread, followed it to Adam and took it to new heights with unveiling some tech history and sprinkling in life advice. Given I lived in the Bay Area up until last week (yes - I’ve now moved!), I found it particularly captivating.

[@AwesomeMetalBands]

Phenomenal interview!!!!

[@FirstLast-gw5mg]

The way I understood the fable, at the end of it the peasant actually didn't chop the tree down. When he didn't find the company of the birds and grasshoppers enjoyable enough to preserve their habitat, he did find the honey useful enough to preserve the _bees'_ habitat. So the birds and grasshoppers had actually benefited indirectly from taking shelter in the same tree as the bees. I wonder if the moral of this story could be something like "associate with successful, useful people" LOL

[@onedaya_martian1238]

Nice, positive interpretation !!

That's what I thought as well!! It says at the end: "The old tree is worth keeping after all." 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Great video as usual!

Well I don’t know... :( I think it might be because of what I mentioned in my pinned comment up above. 20 of my most recent videos have suddenly been blocked and are not visible to anyone. The channel is under attack. And now because of this, it seems that when I posted THIS interview then KZbin didn’t recommend it to many people at all. Either that or people aren’t watching because it’s not about magic. But I have to admit I am surprised… I thought this video would do better. :-/

[@onedaya_martian1238]

@@JasonParkerMagic I think that the P&T producers saw that there was complete, but interrupted used of the episodes. Fair use allows only partial use (not sure what %) sooo, if it was possible to watch the entire segment of a presentation on this channel without needing to see P&T's channel (which IS the case) and there was no permission or other arrangement with the owners of that channel, it seems that there was a violation. It may be the case that rather than send a legal notice or worse, because the channel wasn't huge, they just told YT to shutdown the uploads with violations and leave you alone. It is unfortunate that there wasn't more information given, but because take downs are automated and there is no money in arguing why duplicated video in non owning channels should be allowed, this is what possibly happened. Just a thought.
