00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: Three riveting stories today Juzzy Boy for our first Ossie

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: Telco TPG is setting up a new battle against Telstra

21
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: after partnering with Fox Sales new streaming aggregation platform Hubble.

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: This is juicy, particularly because Telstree is a part owner

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: in foxdaleb Man, So tell me more, so, Juzyboy.

24
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: TPG is the telco brand that merged with the Votaphone

25
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty in a fifteen billion dollar merger. TPG

26
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: had the networks and the broadband, Votophone had the brand

27
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: and the millions of mobile customers. And this marriage has

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: meant the new TPG has become the third largest telco

29
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: network in Australia behind Telstra and Optus. And since the merger,

30
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: TPG has kind of stayed in its own lane, nothing

31
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: too radical.

32
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: But now TPG's announced a new content play for the

33
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: very first time.

34
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeap is just announced a partnership with Hubble, the streaming

35
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: aggregation platform.

36
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Yes, the platform that Haymish and Andy have been walking around

37
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: as human billboards for now.

38
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: The idea of Hubble is to give consumers one single

39
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: interface to view different streaming.

40
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: Apps, meaning you can search for bridget In's Netflix or

41
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: Yellowstone on Stand on the same platform and Jessie Boyd.

42
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: This is all part of TPG's plan to keep its

43
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: customers sticky.

44
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: So what is the key learning here?

45
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: When your business has become so dun commodified, you need

46
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: to show value in new ways.

47
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: Let's face it, b Man, the only differentiator is in

48
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: the mobile networks network range and price.

49
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: And TPG slash Votaphone isn't the leader in either of

50
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: these categories.

51
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: So something else has got to give in order for

52
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: them to retain customers. You see, juzzy boy.

53
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: Even the big dogs of Telstra and Optis have invested

54
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: billions of dollars buying content like.

55
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: Optis buying the sport broadcast rights to the English Premier

56
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: League for six hundred mil.

57
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: Or Telstra partner with the AFL, or streaming platforms like Fetch.

58
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: But so far, be Man. TPG has chosen to focus

59
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: on being a pure play mobile operator.

60
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: But with not much of a differentiation, TPG is hoping

61
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: its new partnership with Hubble might keep its customers as

62
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: loyal as Hamish and Andy to Hubble ads.

63
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: For our second story, YouTube has rolled out a new

64
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: policy that will our users to request taking down a

65
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: high generated content it simulates their face or voice.

66
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: Wow, you got to imagine this is just the beginning

67
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: of this type of stuff, juzzy boy, tell me more.

68
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so we know YouTube, the video on demand platform

69
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: that launched back in two thousand and five, they video

70
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: titled me at the Zoo. Now a bit has happened

71
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: since then.

72
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: It was acquired by Google in two two thousand and

73
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: six for one point six y five billion US dollars.

74
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: It's also become the platform where millions of content creators

75
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: have made it full time salary.

76
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: In fact, there are around fourteen billion videos on YouTube. Yes,

77
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: that's more than one and a half videos for every

78
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: person on this planet.

79
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: But be man. With so many videos online, there's also

80
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: an intense amount of monitoring that YouTube needs to do

81
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: and judge.

82
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: Boy, Since the newish emergence of AI generated content, there

83
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: are even more reasons for monitoring.

84
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: Now YouTube's rolled out of policy for people to lodge

85
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: privacy violations. If there's AI generated content that's been uploaded

86
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: that simulates their face or voice, like.

87
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: A video of Joe Biden Donald Trump engaging in some

88
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: criminal activity like a golf match, that be man submitting

89
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: the request for a takedown. It doesn't necessarily mean the

90
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: content will be removed. YouTube will be the judge of

91
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: that one.

92
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: But this particularly concerning on all tech platforms this year

93
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: because AI generated endorsements could potentially swing elections. Oh big

94
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: call for you, juzzy boy, So what's the key learning here?

95
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: In the digital age? Finding trustworthy sources has become harder

96
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: and harder to.

97
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: Fine and every developer can build AI generated content that

98
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: looks real to the naked eye and be man.

99
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: This industry is just getting started.

100
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: The global AI video generator market size was estimated at

101
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: five hundred and fifty five million US dollars in twenty

102
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: twenty three, but it's expected to grow at nearly twenty

103
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: percent over the next six years, according to Grandview Research

104
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 2: and Jazi Boyd. This means that tech companies that host

105
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: this content have a huge obligation to ensure that content

106
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: on their site is authentic.

107
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: Metters started throwing in labels made with AI to highlight

108
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: to its users that the image or video isn't real,

109
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: and TikTok will also flag users who upload AI generated content.

110
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: But be man, I've got a feeling this is just

111
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: the beginning of this long, long conversation.

112
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: For our third and final story, Nike's share price dropped

113
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: close to twenty percent after it announced that it's expecting

114
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: quarterly sales to drop ten percent.

115
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: In vessus. Sure, I'm giving those numbers of tick, So

116
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: what is going on here. Well.

117
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: Nike is the world's biggest sportswear brand, with a market

118
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: cap of over one hundred and forty four billion US dollars.

119
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: It's known for sneakers like the Air Force one and

120
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: the Airge which does what.

121
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: Nike's origin story has humble beginnings, with the very first

122
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: pair being made using a waffle iron, yes.

123
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Literally, the kitchen utensil used to cook waffles.

124
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: Now, Nike's announced that it's expecting quarterly sales to drop

125
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: by ten percent, which is actually a lot worse than

126
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: the three point two percent drop investors were expecting.

127
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: And with this bad news, Nike stock saw its worst

128
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: day ever last.

129
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: Week yep, Nike's share price drop over twenty percent and

130
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: it lost over twenty eight billion US dollars from its

131
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: market cap.

132
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: And now, Nike says its weak performance is partly because

133
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: of slow economic activity worldwide.

134
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 2: But with its competitors outperforming, it looks like Nike's become

135
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: a bit too tactical with its short term decision.

136
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: So what is the key learning here?

137
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: If you get too caught up in the small things

138
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: in the present, you can lose sight of the future.

139
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: Seebe Man. Nike's been focused on cutting its costs to

140
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: manage the economic downturn.

141
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: In fact, it launched a plan to cut two billion

142
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 2: dollars over the next three years and over fifteen hundred

143
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: jobs to reduce its costs too. But while Nike was

144
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: focusing on these cost cutting initiatives, its competitors were cooking

145
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: up new in avative sexy designs.

146
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: Think Assex, New Balance, and the latest trendsetters On.

147
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 2: And Hooker, which meant Nike's market chair dropped from thirty

148
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: five point four percent in twenty twenty one to under

149
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: thirty five percent in twenty twenty three, and its competitors.

150
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: Market share has jumped fifteen percent in just the last

151
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: three years.

152
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: Yep, they took advantage of Nike releasing fuel designs and

153
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: are giving them a run for their money.

154
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: Flexam, you're listening to this pod, it probably means you
