WEBVTT - The FAA Halts Flights and More Apple Changes

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm Caroline Hyde, Bloomberg's world headquarters in New York. Ludlow

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.959
<v Speaker 1>were three days into our New York reunion. This is

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Technology coming up this hour. Ed we're grounded the

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>f A a halted flight departures nationwide after a key

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>pilot information system failed. What technology exactly failed us? We

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>have the details and more Apple supply changes first chips,

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:40.160
<v Speaker 1>now screens, plus some plans for a touch screen mac book.

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg's Mark German on all of this week's scoops, and well,

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>where are the best companies to work for other than

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>with us? Right here? Glass Door just came out with

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>their annual list, but some of the Silicon Valley darlings

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>they did not make the cut this time. The story

0:00:56.080 --> 0:01:00.279
<v Speaker 1>of the day was flights grounded throughout the nation. Pre

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>market we were lower. Most of the airlines actually, look

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>at that screen now so much green. Many of the

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>airlines recovering at the market open on Wednesday. Just a

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>single name down in the road with Southwest. You know

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:12.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of problems to Southwest coming out of that

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>storm and busy holiday period, down seven tents of one percent.

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>There's so much to discuss here. What on Earth went wrong.

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's a technology story and it's very hard

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>ed because the systems of Love, as the ticker is

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>known Southwest, have been a key thorn in this side.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>But now the Federal Aviation Administration halting thousands of flights nationwide,

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>as you just saying. It all happened early Wednesday, and

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.039
<v Speaker 1>it was a pilot notification system that exactly failed. But

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>now we've got lawmakers worrying about investigating this and they

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>want to see how this is going to influence course

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>some major upcoming aviation bills that are going to be

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>assessed by these lawmakers. It's bringing George Ferguson, who's our

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>senior airline analyst over at Bloomberg Intelligence, and George just

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>tell us exactly what failed, what went wrong from a

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>tech perspective here, and so the no term system noticed.

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>The Airman system is a system that does so many

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the information to flight crew, lets them know what what

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>outages there might be at the airports they're arriving at, right,

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>they might arrive at an airport that doesn't have an

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>instrument approach that's working quite right, lets them know airspace restrictions.

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>So it's I mean it's all about safety. And so

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.359
<v Speaker 1>that system seemed to be broke down earlier today. And

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>when that happens, I think out of an abundance of caution,

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>they stop all flights because they can't be sure they're

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>feeding flight crews the right information to go into uh

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, airports all over the country. And so that

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>was the breakdown, probably a technology breakdown. I don't think

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>it's people. I think it's you know, they collect this

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>information from flight service stations around the country, uh, and

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>then they disseminate it back to the pilot. So it's

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>a big sort of collection and dissemination uh, you know

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>process system, right. Um, So I think that's what probably

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>broke down. George, I'm one of those guys, you know,

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I walk out into the street, I look up in

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the sky, look at the airplanes overhead. I marvel about

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 1>what's happening every day of the year, hundreds thousands of

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>flights all around the world. Old. Is it just that

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>we rely on an archaic system to manage all of this?

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're talking here about this technology as somebody

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>that researches looks at the fundamentals of this industry. Are

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 1>you really concerned was this just an unfortunate glitch. I

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>think it was an unfortunate glitch. I think I think, Um,

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>we won't continue to see problems like this, but we'll

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>always see tech problems in this business, right because the

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>tech is kind of always catching up with the business.

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we've we've been flying airplanes for over a

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>hundred years now. Really commercial air travels come, you know,

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>come into its golden age mid last century. You built systems.

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Those systems need to migrate over time. People that know

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I T systems know it's hard to plug the newest

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>technology sometimes into the old technology. That migration is a challenge. Um.

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I've heard that there was some work being done in

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the no TAM system, so maybe that was part of

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the challenge here. But it's always a constant migration of

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>bringing old technology to new bringing the best to the front.

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>It takes time in the government doing it, and they

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>don't always have the most minded to do it, so

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>it probably moves on a slower scale than business. George

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>ferguson bloom meg Intelligence, we thank you. Edit Do you

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>actually do that? Do you actually like walk out and

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>go wow? I do I'm a business traveler. I'm somebody

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>that you know, I'm fascinated by the underlying technology of

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>something that every single day you look up and when

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>something like this happens, is a consumer is a technology?

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Does you ask what we just started? George? How on

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Earth or something like that happened? His answer, probably a glitch,

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, It's just it's incredible. Have they tried turning

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.679
<v Speaker 1>it on and off again? Right? Moved to the cloud? Whatever?

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I love her to Your Eneggie just brings me so

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>much joy. Meanwhile, let's let's kick out a little bit

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>more because we've got to talk Apple and it's planning

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>to start using its own custom displays and mobile devices

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>as early as and on top of that, maybe in

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 1>the future those devices with those screens you can touch

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>them even on a Mac computer. Let's bring in on

0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the scoop Generator. That's Mark German and Mark, I mean

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you're out with another one. That start with the Macnews

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.599
<v Speaker 1>because I thought that Tim Cook was going to follow

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>in his predecessors viewpoint on this and not want to

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>have touch screens on computers. This is very significant. Now

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>they won't fly, so ED won't be able to marvel

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>at them in the air, but they will get touch

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.720
<v Speaker 1>screens right. Apple has a project. They have multiple teams

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>working on effort to bring touch displays to the Mac

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>for the first time. This is the first time where

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>they're actually serious about this. They've explored in the past,

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>but work has ramped up on these new machines and

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.600
<v Speaker 1>this is a big u turn from what Apple has

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>done in the past. They've talked about how the iPad

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>is the best experience for touch. They talked about how

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 1>mac os, the Mac operating system doesn't work well with touch.

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 1>They talked about the ergonomic concerns about that, but the

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>reality is is that consumers want touch. The Mac can

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>run iPhone and iPad apps now, but they don't have

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>a touch screen, so they don't work very well. Kids

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>these days have grown up on touch screens, iPhones, iPads,

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Apple watches, Amazon, Kindled table, It's you name it right.

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>The next generation of people who are going to get

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>laptops and desktops, get computers, get max they are used

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to touch. So Apple has to think about that new

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>generation and that learning curve and what this new generation

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>of potential buyers is used to. So touch displays are

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>important to the future of the Mac, and that's why

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Apple is going to go down this road in a

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>few years. Let's pivots your other big scoop, which is

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the starting with high end Apple Watch and later the

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 1>iPhone handsets, Apple wants to move to in house technology

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>for the displays. Uh, you know the currently l G

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.919
<v Speaker 1>and Samsung are the big supplies when it comes to

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>those displays. What have you learned in the course of

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>your reporting? So right now, the iPhone and the Apple Watch,

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>both you use what is known as an ol end display.

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Those are supplied primarily by Samsung. They get some from

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Japan Display LG. They're also working with a company called

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>BOE in China and source displays from there too. But

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 1>that underlying technology that's made by those manufacturing companies that

0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>make those displays, right, Apple can tweak and customize them.

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>The underlying technology has not been developed by Apple. Now

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>they're developing the underlying technology and that manufacturing process. So

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>now no longer will Apple be competing with Samsung but

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>also sourcing parts from Samsung for one of the most

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>important components inside of their products. All right, bloombergs Mark German,

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>thank you very much. Well, let's talk about some progress

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>being made when it comes to executive searches, Walt Disney

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>in fact electing a new independent director, Mark Parker, as

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the chairman and the board. Now. Parker already been on

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the board for seven years now and he was, of

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 1>course still executive chairman of Nike. Says some big roles

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>he's got under his belt. He's succeeding Susan Arnold, who

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>will not be standing for re election. Student too, what

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>is a fifteen year term in it under Disney's board

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>tenure policy, shares likinginess. I mean he had a cool,

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>storied career over at Disney, I mean over at Nike now,

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>says a chair. But his main priority, ed, he says,

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>is to be getting a new CEO. Who is that

0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be? He says? Already the searchers upon it.

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>There is a so a deeper story here, which is

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>that Nelson Pelts and Tree and an activist investor we

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>found out in November eight million dollars state they were

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to get a board seat and the board rejecting

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.559
<v Speaker 1>that idea. But the reason why is that Nelson Pelts

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and Tree and they did not want Bob Iger to

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>return as CEO, which again was a shock in itself

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>when those headlines broke. So there's things happening behind the

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>scenes here at Disney, but at least they have some

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>certainty now about the new board chair chat GPT. Yes,

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>we're talking in again and there's a lot of fanfare

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>around the AI powered chat pot that's gone viral in

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>recent weeks. But there's some negative connotations here potentially posing

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>propaganda hacking risks. Now, this is all according to a

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 1>report published by researchers on Wednesday. Here's the thing. Two

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>of those authored the study actually worked at open ai,

0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and one of them, however, has since left there. Not

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>for profit and blog accompanying the report stated quote, Our

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>bottom line judgment is that language models will be useful

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>for propagandists and will likely transform online influence operations. Joining

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>us now to discuss the risks as well as the positives,

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the use cases, the future of the technology. Street Or Ramaswamy,

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>co founder CEO of the ad free private search engine Neiva,

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to go into the what Neiva does

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.559
<v Speaker 1>and the way in which you use natural language in

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 1>a moment, you know, but just talk to us first

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and foremost about what you made of this discussion about

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the fear of propaganda about misinformation being used within AI

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 1>because also on the flip side, there's a lot of

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>positives the way in which you can actually uncover who's

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 1>behind certain cyber attacks at least two. So large language

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.719
<v Speaker 1>models are one of the most exciting developments in the

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>last few years. These are models that have been trained

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty much on everything that's been written down, everything that's

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>on that page. Um. The results of that is that

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.199
<v Speaker 1>they have enormous fluency. Can ask chat DPD too write

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a look form or a story and it will do

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 1>an amazing job. Um. It doesn't know right from wrong

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>or truth from falsehood. So you know, the word that

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>we use for that is halstening um. But it is

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 1>incredibly prolific. I think of these large language models as savants. Um.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.559
<v Speaker 1>They can say very convincing things. They can say things

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>in the voice of somebody like you're writing if you

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>give it enough of a sample. Um. So it's not

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 1>surprising obviously that they can be used for propaganda or misinformation.

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>That's a problem that we face online anyway. I know

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.199
<v Speaker 1>what I see something I always look to see, well,

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 1>is this from Boomberg? Is this reputable? So I think

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>those kinds of risks are going to go up, but

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I think there's also a lot of positive potential that

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.559
<v Speaker 1>come from these models. Do you know what's interesting is

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>we went to our own audience earlier in the day

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 1>using Twitter a pole, and we asked them, look to

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 1>these sorts of reports about the ability to incite propaganda

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>put you off from using chat gypt Interestingly, most still say, look,

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be continuing to use it despite these reports.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.560
<v Speaker 1>But about said, no way, I'm not going to be

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.440
<v Speaker 1>using it from your perspective. Is this where you step

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>in Because one of the fixes perhaps that neither has

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>for chat GPT is by allowing us to know what

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the sourcing of the information is that we're reading. Yeah,

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that was one of our big goals. We wanted to

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>integrate the fluency of these large language models into search.

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Right now, search is pretty hard to put in a keyword.

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>You have to go click on a link, figured out

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>what's there, um, and then come back maybe it goes

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>somewhere at else um. So we wanted the fluent answers

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>of chat GPT, but we wanted to be done in

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>an authentic way. So we set out to make sure

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>that every sentence he wrote had its source clearly put there,

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>so there's a citation. UM. We also wanted to make

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 1>sure that we could take into our count real time information.

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>This is what we launched earlier UM last week, and

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>it's been exceptionally well received because two of the biggest

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>problems that GPT has old information it's sort of hallucinate,

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.199
<v Speaker 1>sort of makes a fact or addressed to a large

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>degree by our ability to combine a search engine, which

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>is all about finding you authentic, believable information UM with

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.839
<v Speaker 1>the fluency of a large language model. So we are

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>at the very much the beginning inning of how large

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>language models are going to be integrated into various functions,

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>including search engines, so they can be put to very

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>very positive views. Just like the Internet. The Internet is

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>great for finding things, but obviously a lot of misinformation

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and bad things also happened, so we should think of

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>these language models as being the same. But it's a tool. Hey, Sea,

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>we're so grateful for you joining us from Munich, Germany

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.439
<v Speaker 1>or attending d l D. I know you're surrounded by

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>people who understand the underlying technology, but there are so

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 1>many people out there that do not, And I know

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that it's not straightforward, but could you try and explain

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to our audience what large language models are in Layman's terms,

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.719
<v Speaker 1>how do they work? Yeah, so language models understand the

0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>structure of how we write and speak um, and you

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>should really think of them as this intermediarly. Just like

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the keyboard takes the strokes that you put on it

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:13.199
<v Speaker 1>and produces sentences, these language models can take your input, um,

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 1>but they're able to respond back to you um with

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>writings off their own because they've been trained on so

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 1>much text. UM. But these writings by themselves, like don't

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>always have meaning. If you ask you to write a poem,

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, should it will write a poem. It will

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>be fun. On the other hand, it might not know

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 1>true from false, or like what is a fact and

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 1>what is believable and things like that. So this technology

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 1>is very much developing, but right now you should think

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>of this the same way, um you do. You think

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:45.199
<v Speaker 1>of like any interface or you know, like an interpreter

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>um that can listen to you in English and translate

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 1>it into into German. They have that kind of a skill,

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.680
<v Speaker 1>but they need to be augmented with you know, other

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>things from real world to be truly useful and those

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 1>things are going to come up sew. We're talking about

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.679
<v Speaker 1>chat GPT for a reason, right because of the news

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 1>cycle Bloomberg reporting that Microsoft is looking at investing maybe

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 1>ten billion dollars into open Ai and chat GPT over

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a series of years. And it seems like, you know,

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the common sense conclusion is that they would use chat

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 1>GPT to improve being as a search engine, make it

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>more competitive against Google as somebody that operates in search.

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, what's your read on that piece of news. Absolutely,

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, being as clearly a number two in the

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>search space, and they want to leave pragu over, you know,

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 1>just like we want to leave prob over and create

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a better search experience. It absolutely makes sense that Microsoft

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>would want to do that. Um. But we should remember

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:45.239
<v Speaker 1>that Microsoft actually a juggernaut in things like work communication,

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 1>personal communication. Um. And these language models are going to

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 1>be helping any time we write an email, any time

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 1>we want to consume a document, auto web page. So

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the use cases for the language models are truly massive

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>and clearly microsof us being very smart by making a

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>big early bet in the space. Should you make bets

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 1>for living to your venture partner at Greylock as well

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 1>as of course co founder of this business. Neither talk

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.640
<v Speaker 1>to us about where the money is being made in

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>your business if you're not going to have ads, and

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and if we're trying to visualize what a language format

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 1>would be in terms of search that gives you a

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 1>perfect answer and not only the links to click on

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 1>what what's the what's the money's been ahead? Well, so

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>this is real. It actually gets really exciting for Neiva

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 1>because we have a subscription search engine, be said, or

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>to create a search engine that was all about you,

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the user. UM, And we have a premium model. You know,

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>people pay for premium features like being able to connect

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.440
<v Speaker 1>their email or works like to them, so our model

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 1>is perfectly aligned. UM. I can imagine a scenario in which, yes,

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 1>there is a chat like interface but some of the

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 1>sentences are sponsored. Maybe, UM, but I think the one

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.760
<v Speaker 1>answer format it doesn't really jive all that well with

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 1>with advertising. But there will be other cases. You know,

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 1>people are going to use these models to create like

0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 1>personalized advertising for each and every one of us. So

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 1>you're going to lose some there are other places where

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you're going to live in as well. In advertisement. All right,

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Suda Ramaswami really smart analysis of this. Nascent Space co

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 1>founder and CEO of Neiva, thank you so much for joining.

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Now coming up, what's new in well Elon Musk's world,

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 1>from new potential deals to being grand favorite at Goldman Sacks.

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Will have the latest and everything Tesla everything you need

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to know. This is Bloomberg. Now let's get to the

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 1>news in the world of Elon Musk because sources say

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Tesla is close to a prelim deal to set up

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a factory in Indonesia, a nation where reserves of key

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 1>battery metals. Multiple facilities in the country could be serving

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 1>different functions like production across the supply chain. That's according

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 1>to one source, and the plant could produce as many

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 1>as one million cars a year in him with Tessa's

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 1>ambitions for all of its factories globally to eventually reach

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 1>that capacity. But the deal is not signed it could

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.359
<v Speaker 1>still fall through, according to sources. Meanwhile, Tesla remains of

0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.879
<v Speaker 1>technology leader in EV's and three top pick in the

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.600
<v Speaker 1>auto industry for Goldman Sacks, with the firm emphasizing that

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 1>the Inflation Reduction Act will have a positive impact on

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the EV maker. The brokerage maintains Tesla at a bye,

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 1>though it cut its price target for the second time

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>in less than a month last week to two five

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.120
<v Speaker 1>dollars per share. That's down from a target of four

0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars a share a year ago, when the firm

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 1>also called Tesla a top pick and to boot Caroline

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk is the subject of Wednesday's Big Take, and

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.359
<v Speaker 1>what a big take? Was? The big take all about

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 1>money or Musk Casa CEO. And he called himself, of

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 1>course chief twit. What else has he called himself across

0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.919
<v Speaker 1>the years? But he might never reclaim perhaps the title

0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 1>as the world's richest person overall aid This entire take

0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.879
<v Speaker 1>from Bloomberg is about the way which he paid a

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.560
<v Speaker 1>self basically, and the way he's being taken to task

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 1>in the courts an example, the way in which he

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.439
<v Speaker 1>was compensated. And the whole point was he was compensated

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.399
<v Speaker 1>by options and certain ways in which he had to

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 1>meet certain targets. Huge growth in the share price. But

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.119
<v Speaker 1>for many a shareholder, they're basically saying, look, the idea

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 1>is to lock you in and keep your attention on Tesla,

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:24.200
<v Speaker 1>but his attention isn't on Tesla. So the Moonshot awards

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>so much money, lots of options, but he borrowed against

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>it margin loans to invest in other things. When Tesla

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.679
<v Speaker 1>stopped was buoyant. Well it's not now, So now we're saying, well,

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 1>what about margin calls? Will he ever get back to

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.480
<v Speaker 1>top spot? A really fascinating read from our team at

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg News. I mean, I think the only person who

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>got to the wealthy heights that he did and then

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the only person who have lost it. What is it?

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Two hundred two hundred billion dollars? Welcome back to bloembog Technology.

0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:58.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm Caroline Hyde in New York and I'm Ed Ludlow.

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Also in you special tree this week only for one

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 1>week only though. Meanwhile, well the more updates aid at

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the moment on FTX is bankruptcy case advisors. Well they

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.200
<v Speaker 1>found some money, indeed, about five billion dollars worth in

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 1>casual crypto assets that may help repay creditors RESUS saving

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:15.880
<v Speaker 1>emotion anti us is here to explain, Well, how far

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.119
<v Speaker 1>this is actually going to go? Yeah, exactly five billion

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>dollars is probably not enough for the nine million accounts

0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 1>that are owed money. At the end of the day,

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 1>and the bankruptcy advisors did advise as much. Caroline. Now

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 1>remember that number, that sheer number of customers that they're

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.680
<v Speaker 1>dealing with here as they go through this bankruptcy process

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>is important because of course there are of all different sizes.

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 1>We know that they have asked earlier on to keep

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:43.359
<v Speaker 1>the names silent of especially the fifty largest which have

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 1>much more at stake. But at the end of the day,

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 1>once you're spreading the love around the money back to

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 1>the clients, it's not as much as you would get

0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.080
<v Speaker 1>back as if you're going to be paid and whole.

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Remember also, they are also saying that above and beyond

0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that five billion dollars, there are a lot of illiquid

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 1>sets here that they're dealing with. So in addition to

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the assets that they have said about five billion dollars

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.320
<v Speaker 1>or so, the question is how much is in crypto,

0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:08.959
<v Speaker 1>how much is in cash, and how much of that

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 1>is still worth five billion dollars at the end of

0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the day. O pationally one of the more obscure headlines

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:17.919
<v Speaker 1>across the Bloomberg terminal. Salana based bunk in neu n

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:23.200
<v Speaker 1>f T surge tenfold after mint, but listing attracts criticism.

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Very simple question, what is the controversy around bunk? A

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 1>simple question without a very simple answer, because at the

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, Bonk, what was interesting about it

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 1>is really when it made this n f T mint,

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>if you will, And a lot of it happened on

0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Magic Eden, which remember has been closely tied to Salana.

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.199
<v Speaker 1>They had recently raised money here. A lot of it

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:50.359
<v Speaker 1>comes back to the purpose of the bonk itself. Of course,

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you have this idea here that the meme stock or

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the mean crypto crazes back in some ways the idea

0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 1>of having fun in the industry again, which even Mark

0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Cuban wanted. But what happened at the end of the

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:04.520
<v Speaker 1>day is after the listing here of the n f

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.200
<v Speaker 1>T s in particular and Magic Eden, a question then

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:11.200
<v Speaker 1>became very very straightforward and simple, that question of royalties

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.680
<v Speaker 1>and where it goes, and what controlled the exchange has

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 1>over those royalties, as well as governance of the token

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:21.719
<v Speaker 1>itself that is uh perennially linked here in some fashion,

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:24.359
<v Speaker 1>but doesn't govern the n f T community itself or

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:30.159
<v Speaker 1>the broader kind of what do you call it? There

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 1>are many communities around here to think about but the

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:35.400
<v Speaker 1>governance of the of the n f T community and

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 1>its relationship to Bonk has gotten very confusing after the

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 1>listing itself has pursued. Not complex at I tried, but

0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:46.920
<v Speaker 1>here it's only been a day. It is the reality.

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:49.960
<v Speaker 1>It was these it was fifteen n f T s

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.160
<v Speaker 1>here and again I want to reiterate here the purpose

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 1>was largely without utility. The purpose was largely for art,

0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and so the governance and the royalties that are associated

0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>with them becoming as complicated as they are and therefore

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 1>leading up to the decline and value of the bonk

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.160
<v Speaker 1>is important. Shanali, thank you for breaking that all down.

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Let's get back though to Salana based Bonk can actually

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.399
<v Speaker 1>here to discuss that story. Is Salana's head of strategy,

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Austin Federer. Thank you for joining us, Thank you for

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 1>being here with us in New York. Straightforward question to start,

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess what is Salana's response to all of this

0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 1>with the shale is just outlined for us. You know,

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the last half of this year has been a tough

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:34.959
<v Speaker 1>one for the global crypto community, uh and for some

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.680
<v Speaker 1>users on Salana as well. I think when you're looking

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.320
<v Speaker 1>at Bonk you're looking at people having fun with blockchain. Again,

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a meme coin that got air dropped

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to people two thousands and thousands of wallets on the ecosystem,

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's something that the community is kind of galvanized

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:51.639
<v Speaker 1>behind and been able to sort of dig into and

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:53.480
<v Speaker 1>really find a lot of fun in it. You see

0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:55.359
<v Speaker 1>volumes pick up on the back of it. Is certainly

0:22:55.400 --> 0:23:00.680
<v Speaker 1>helping breathe excitement around Salana again. But I'm interested when yes,

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 1>it's Joe, Yes it might be a feel good But

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>when something has no utility and everyone at the moment

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>is saying, prove to me the use case of crypto,

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Why hasn't just eroded wealth but in fact it's being

0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 1>built for a force of good. What are your response then,

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:17.720
<v Speaker 1>when the next thing we're talking about is a meme token? Yeah,

0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:21.159
<v Speaker 1>so memes are fun um, but memes are also a

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 1>proxy for community, and one of the utilities of crypto

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 1>that's often overlooked is that it is a system for

0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 1>galfanizing community. And so the excitement around Bonk is on

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 1>one level, Yes, it's a meme. Yes it doesn't actually

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 1>specifically do something, but it is a it is a

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:39.920
<v Speaker 1>token of community, and especially after an ecosystem that's been

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:43.360
<v Speaker 1>through you know, a rough few months, Yes, to say

0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>the least, and let's go there because we thank you

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.600
<v Speaker 1>for coming on to talk about what is a rough

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:53.160
<v Speaker 1>few months. Because Solana became very intertwined with the downfall

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:55.920
<v Speaker 1>of FTX with Samamma Reed had very much been sort

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>of a driving force in some ways the Salana become

0:23:58.119 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 1>so popular, but they held a lot of it and

0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:03.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a worry that your price would fall on the

0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>back of force selling. What's your experience how do you

0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:09.359
<v Speaker 1>move past the fallout of ft X. Yeah, if you

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:11.399
<v Speaker 1>look at the beginning of November, a lot of the

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 1>headlines were doom and gloom for the Salanta network, and

0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 1>what we've really seen since then, we're about what two

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.880
<v Speaker 1>months out from from that initial news is active addresses

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>are up, more people are using the network than we're before.

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 1>There's actually more validators on the network than before FTX collapsed.

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 1>So we've seen is the community and developers all around

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the world really come together and replace the parts of

0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the ecosystem that had ft X involvement and then expand

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>from there. So if you look at active addresses, each day,

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Salana is higher than all other box chains. At this point,

0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:42.760
<v Speaker 1>that kind of goes somewhere into answering my next question,

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:44.879
<v Speaker 1>which is, you know, the Salana network, there was the

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:51.119
<v Speaker 1>market volatility, the kind of lack of faith in crypto assets, cryptocurrencies,

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and then this is the debate about the underlying technology, right,

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and when it comes to the Salan network, I think

0:24:56.040 --> 0:25:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the idea is security and resistance against sent to ship.

0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>How do you kind of restore faith in the technology

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:08.440
<v Speaker 1>part of that story? Forget the markets for a second. Yeah, Well,

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:11.639
<v Speaker 1>the interesting part is the technology actually wasn't part of

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>what happened at all, Right, from a technology standpoint, what

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 1>was kind of you know, I guess perception is to

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the outside of perception, right, Yeah, But the fundamentals of

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:22.439
<v Speaker 1>the network are actually just the same as they were before,

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:25.360
<v Speaker 1>which is that Salona's vision is to be the fastest

0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 1>settlement layer for the global ecosystem, right, And whether that

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 1>means you're talking about fast finality of transactions tens of

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 1>thousands of transactions per second being able to go through

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the network, what we're really getting at is a technology

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 1>platform that can handle loads at other places, can't I

0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 1>have to ask you about Sam Bankman Freed the relationship

0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:49.959
<v Speaker 1>or historic relationship between SPF and Salana. What are you

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:53.199
<v Speaker 1>doing to move past that relationship? How what is the

0:25:53.200 --> 0:25:56.719
<v Speaker 1>relationship in present day? Sure? So you know in about

0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 1>in summer of that was when Sam and ft F

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Scott involved in the Salanta network and they were building

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:04.639
<v Speaker 1>real infrastructure on the network that couldn't be built on

0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:07.400
<v Speaker 1>any other blockchain network. Serum, which was a central limit

0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:09.600
<v Speaker 1>order book built on chain. It was the first central

0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:12.880
<v Speaker 1>limit order book deployed on a blockchain. That code has

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:16.160
<v Speaker 1>been taken over by the community and relaunched a something

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.439
<v Speaker 1>called open Book. And so that's kind of what I

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 1>was talking about about the community healing parts of the

0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:23.800
<v Speaker 1>ecosystem that f t X and and Sam were involved in.

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:26.679
<v Speaker 1>I think moving past it though is really it's on

0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:29.680
<v Speaker 1>chain metrics, right, It's that users are still here, developers

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 1>are still building, and there's a lot of excitement around

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:33.680
<v Speaker 1>what's getting built on the network. And as well said that,

0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:35.960
<v Speaker 1>you say building because in and of itself, the blockchain

0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:39.400
<v Speaker 1>isn't finished. It's not a final product. You're still iterating,

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>still improving Salana. Just talk to us about Therefore, your

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:46.359
<v Speaker 1>own network stability outages that have occurred, which you know

0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:48.359
<v Speaker 1>this happens when one bill is just look at the

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:51.240
<v Speaker 1>f a A today, talk to us about what you're

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:53.480
<v Speaker 1>doing to ensure that you continue to its rate, and

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:55.560
<v Speaker 1>then it becomes a stronger product moral. So one of

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:58.520
<v Speaker 1>those biggest investments is a second validator client, which is

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 1>really a second copy of the system that runs the network,

0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:04.000
<v Speaker 1>and so that means if one system goes down, there's

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a second system that can can step in. That client

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 1>is being built by Jump, which is a high frequency

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 1>trading firm. So there's all sorts of additional benefits that

0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 1>come from that, such as high performance. So they're they're

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.239
<v Speaker 1>testing system right now. It's been benchmarked at about one

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.880
<v Speaker 1>point two million transactions per second. I don't think we'll

0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 1>see something like that in actual production environments when it

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 1>actually gets onto the network, but we're talking about a

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:29.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of performance optimizations that allow people to build new

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:32.200
<v Speaker 1>kinds of products and services built on blockchain that are

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:34.880
<v Speaker 1>just as performant as the web. Two counterparts. Let's talk

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:37.719
<v Speaker 1>about products and services because that's what everyone's waiting for.

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 1>The kill adapt the finally that we start to use

0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 1>crypto not just as an asset or a means of exchange,

0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 1>but something more with utility. Yeah, exactly what is what

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:51.720
<v Speaker 1>is the that you almost excited about? What are the

0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:53.359
<v Speaker 1>areas that are being built on and one of the

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>aren't means. So if you look at two in general,

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 1>apart from the price, it's very hard to not look

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 1>at the price, but the technology is really why most

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of us are here. It was a breakout year for

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>blockchain globally. We saw web two companies for the first

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:09.479
<v Speaker 1>time build real user facing products. They've all had some

0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 1>back end experimentation for a while, but you know, from

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Google to Amazon, to Meta to Starbucks, they're all launching

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 1>products built on blockchain at this point. And so the

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.640
<v Speaker 1>types of products and services are starting to become much

0:28:23.680 --> 0:28:26.080
<v Speaker 1>easier for people to engage with, and they're starting to

0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 1>be things that change the relationship from I have to

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:33.000
<v Speaker 1>understand exactly how a blockchain network works to use this

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:36.399
<v Speaker 1>to something that's that's getting closer to the experience of

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>downloading and app and installing it. Austin, great test in

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 1>time with you. Thank you Austin for the here's a Salana,

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 1>head of strategy. We thank him. Meanwhile, coming up the

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:49.560
<v Speaker 1>rise of women's healthcaps with the Camel, co founder of Peppy,

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 1>just raised forty five million dollars. Even in this environment,

0:28:53.480 --> 0:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>this is Blomberg. I think, you know, actually the jury

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 1>is out a little bit on exactly what telemedicine has

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 1>given us. I think it's solved a couple of key gaps,

0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of the telemedicine swing in particular has

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.720
<v Speaker 1>swung back to in person and a preference for in person,

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 1>a recognition that a lot of patients need in person

0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 1>procedures and care that requires physical um, the physical presence

0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and a physical infrastructure. That being said, I think especially

0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:32.800
<v Speaker 1>in pockets of of our ecosystem, including the way in

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 1>which we run clinical trials, the availability of virtual care,

0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and the ability for patients, UM and providers to connect,

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 1>make decisions, take steps, try new therapies and monitor UM

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:51.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, patient performance on those therapies telemeds. In that

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 1>discussion point with Andrews and Harrow, it's general partner Finita Aguala. Meanwhile, well,

0:29:56.720 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the healthcare platform Peppy just announced a forty five million

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 1>donor Series BE funding round is led by albim VC

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and plenty of others at that tier to discuss. It's

0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the co founder, co CEO and PhD Mao Della Paray.

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for joining us at the moment, Madela,

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and talk to us about your vision for Peppi. You're

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 1>using forty million, it's going to be investing. You're already

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>pretty forceful there in Europe. You're coming to the United States.

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 1>What sort of offerings are you providing at the moment,

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 1>High Caroline. So, what Peppi does is we provide support

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 1>two employees during health stages in their life which are

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:37.320
<v Speaker 1>very disruptive and can be disruptive to them both at

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 1>home and at work. So you talked about menopause. That's

0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:42.880
<v Speaker 1>certainly a big product of ours and what we will

0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:45.800
<v Speaker 1>be launching with in the US. But we've offered we've

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:49.840
<v Speaker 1>also launched other services around episodes that we've seen in

0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the market, things like going through a fertility journey, becoming

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a parent, and then we've also launched our mental health service,

0:30:57.080 --> 0:30:59.640
<v Speaker 1>the first of its kind as an employee benefit and

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>also women's health service, and we'll be bringing some of

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:05.320
<v Speaker 1>that to the US as well. So you already got

0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>clients Accenture, Adobe, Canada, Life, Disney to name but a few.

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>What's the growth are you seeing, particularly as we worry

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.719
<v Speaker 1>about a downturn in the economy, we think about perhaps

0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>companies putting back on benefits. What do you say to

0:31:16.800 --> 0:31:19.360
<v Speaker 1>that sort of narrative. So we've seen as a business,

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 1>like you said in in Europe, we've grown almost four

0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 1>x UM this year, and what we are really seeing

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:31.240
<v Speaker 1>is companies taking much more seriously the reasons that keep people, um,

0:31:31.280 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe out of the workplace, absent from in the workplace,

0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>or less you know, causing present heer is um as well. UM. Really,

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:42.440
<v Speaker 1>when you look at these factors such as fertility, becoming parents,

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>menopause and so on, or maybe living with a long

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>term gynecological condition, the business case kind of speaks to itself.

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:52.400
<v Speaker 1>None of these are niche things. So, for example, in

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the US of the u S workforce are women aged

0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:59.280
<v Speaker 1>over forty five, typically the age of which you would

0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:03.840
<v Speaker 1>expect to see menopauseal or perimenopause or symptoms appear with them.

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:06.000
<v Speaker 1>So none of these are niche. They're all hiding in

0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:09.720
<v Speaker 1>plain sight in any organization of any size, and that

0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:13.200
<v Speaker 1>makes the business case for itself. Talk to us just basically,

0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:16.440
<v Speaker 1>how your tech company in and of itself then, because

0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, we think about treatment. We were just hearing

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>from A sixty and Z talking about how people perhaps

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.239
<v Speaker 1>are returning to wanting to have face to face in

0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:28.800
<v Speaker 1>person meetings with some of their clinicians. How are you

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>seeing that you're solving a problem that wasn't solved before.

0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 1>So what we realized with Peppie is that, yes, traditional

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:39.600
<v Speaker 1>healthcare does a phenomenal job at the point at which

0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:43.040
<v Speaker 1>you are walking into a doctor's office, be that virtual

0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 1>or physical. And as many that were saying, you know,

0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 1>people are wanting to return back to physical and that's

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:52.560
<v Speaker 1>necessary in so many cases, whether that's the examinations, diagnostics, etcetera.

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>But upstream of that, there is a huge gap, and

0:32:56.480 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 1>that is a universal gap, regardless of what health care

0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 1>system you're in. So think about you know, when you

0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:06.240
<v Speaker 1>first out have concerns, questions, niggles about your health, there's

0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:09.520
<v Speaker 1>often weeks, months, sometimes even years before you think that's

0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:13.640
<v Speaker 1>concern is big enough that it warrants the effort, the time,

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the inconvenience of going to see your doctor about it.

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 1>That's really the gap that PEPPI is filling. So what

0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:24.040
<v Speaker 1>we do is we provide access to expert support. So

0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:27.720
<v Speaker 1>typically nurse lead, nurse practitioner lead, but they are experts

0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 1>in these areas. So whether that's menopause, their women's health specialists,

0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 1>whether that's fertility nurses, whether that's midwives for baby. What

0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:39.360
<v Speaker 1>we can do with Peppy and what the tech enables

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 1>is for you to communicate with those specialists in the

0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:45.800
<v Speaker 1>way that suits you best. And that could be a

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:48.520
<v Speaker 1>video console, but there are so many other options. You

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:51.480
<v Speaker 1>can chat to them, you can join virtual events. We

0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:53.920
<v Speaker 1>have of our own content team that works with our

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:57.160
<v Speaker 1>clinicians to put out written video audio content. So you

0:33:57.160 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 1>can imagine the barrier to actually accessing help with Pepper's

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>really low, and that's what the tech is enabling. It

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 1>can be a simple message sent off when you're waiting

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:06.479
<v Speaker 1>at the bus stop, or you know, just because when

0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you think of something at BED you browsed through some content,

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:13.880
<v Speaker 1>but always with access to real health care professionals on

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the other end. How hard is it moving from European

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 1>healthcare provision to US healthcare provision navigating a different regulatory landscape?

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:26.000
<v Speaker 1>How do you envisage that? Yeah, so the regulatory roundscape

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 1>is a you know it's certainly something that needs navigating.

0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:31.800
<v Speaker 1>We are now able to offer the Peppy service in

0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:35.280
<v Speaker 1>all fifties states, which we're really proud of for our clients,

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 1>and that's important for our clients. As you mentioned that

0:34:37.360 --> 0:34:42.120
<v Speaker 1>some of the leading enterprise as globally UM. That is

0:34:42.120 --> 0:34:44.319
<v Speaker 1>one difference, but like I said, the really the need

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 1>that Peppy's addressing sort of independent of what the health

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:51.560
<v Speaker 1>care system is. Recognizing that the US health care system

0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and I lived in the States for a while, UM

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:57.000
<v Speaker 1>is very different to what a lot of what we've

0:34:57.040 --> 0:35:00.480
<v Speaker 1>seen in the UK be that NHS private medical insurance.

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, Peppy's designed to complement and supplement traditional healthcare.

0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:09.040
<v Speaker 1>We don't overlap, we don't replicate the services that you

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:11.960
<v Speaker 1>would get from your doctor, from your specialist or a

0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:15.880
<v Speaker 1>primary care physician. Really, what we're about is helping you

0:35:15.920 --> 0:35:18.799
<v Speaker 1>in that time where you maybe don't need a doctor yet,

0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:21.799
<v Speaker 1>or nudging you to go and seek that care if

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:24.520
<v Speaker 1>you're may be hesitant or not sure or you're you know,

0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:27.480
<v Speaker 1>our practitioners think that there's something to be concerned about,

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and also being there for you when you come out

0:35:29.520 --> 0:35:32.600
<v Speaker 1>of that medical care, be surprised you're able to raise

0:35:32.640 --> 0:35:35.200
<v Speaker 1>this money in this environment or as health care fantech

0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:37.960
<v Speaker 1>just in its own niche At the moment, I'm delighted,

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, especially to have the you know, continued support

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:43.480
<v Speaker 1>of our investors, some of whom have been with us

0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 1>for a number of years now and Albion who've known

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:47.800
<v Speaker 1>us for a long time, as well as some of

0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the others that you mentioned. Look, I mean we raised

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:53.440
<v Speaker 1>this round in a context where the business was growing

0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:57.880
<v Speaker 1>incredibly well. We grew a tex one, we grew almost

0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:01.840
<v Speaker 1>four x in twenty two. Yes, the market is more difficult.

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I think there is much greater scrutiny of our financial

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 1>financial performance you're and so on, But underlying, you know,

0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:13.239
<v Speaker 1>the numbers really did speak for themselves. Great has some

0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 1>time with the peppy co founder of course, doctor or

0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:19.359
<v Speaker 1>PhD as we called Chicoli Jolla poor a stay well

0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:21.799
<v Speaker 1>thanks to staying up late over in the UK as well.

0:36:21.840 --> 0:36:33.759
<v Speaker 1>We appreciate it going viral. It is glass doors Analysts

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:36.480
<v Speaker 1>are the best places to work. This year, forty one

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:41.160
<v Speaker 1>of the top one companies were still surprise, but some

0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:45.319
<v Speaker 1>big names matter. Apple Zilo not in the top one

0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:47.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred anymore. You have to go back to two thousand nine,

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the last time when records began for Apple to not

0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:55.319
<v Speaker 1>be in the top one meta two thousand eleven, layoffs,

0:36:55.600 --> 0:37:00.360
<v Speaker 1>changing times, changing names, Mark Zuckerberg, under pressure. It's a

0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:02.680
<v Speaker 1>different it's a different companies the one you and I've

0:37:02.719 --> 0:37:04.839
<v Speaker 1>been covering over the last decade or so. And what's

0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:07.040
<v Speaker 1>interesting the meta though, is that they haven't changed their

0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:09.680
<v Speaker 1>work from home policy, and some would say, particularly the

0:37:09.760 --> 0:37:12.239
<v Speaker 1>CEO of glass Door, was calling out that actually, note

0:37:12.280 --> 0:37:15.600
<v Speaker 1>of the winners are the ones that are more flexible

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:18.200
<v Speaker 1>in their working approach, still giving the good benefits. So

0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not that that's hitting metal. Although Apple did change

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.319
<v Speaker 1>its work from home approach, they're wanting people to come

0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:25.440
<v Speaker 1>back three days in a week. I wonder if that

0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:28.080
<v Speaker 1>sort of in some way affecting. And then I wonder

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:30.319
<v Speaker 1>what game site is really of what is it? What

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:33.320
<v Speaker 1>are they doing? The making groundbreaking? And it's interesting in video.

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:35.920
<v Speaker 1>And then this is cat shout out my California people

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:39.840
<v Speaker 1>in an out Burger in the top ten places to work.

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Not a tech company, but interesting to see nonetheless, and

0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:44.919
<v Speaker 1>Google a store work, I guess, and I would say

0:37:44.920 --> 0:37:48.080
<v Speaker 1>in an out burger important because female CEO and actually,

0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:50.400
<v Speaker 1>when you go to the list of the top CEOs

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:53.560
<v Speaker 1>on class door, you have to get till number twenty

0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:56.759
<v Speaker 1>do you actually get the CEO is deemed one of

0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the best and a female. So that's interesting that some

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:02.439
<v Speaker 1>of these companies are still coming out top but they're

0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:04.440
<v Speaker 1>female leadership is singing. There's a long way to go

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:07.120
<v Speaker 1>in that respect. You great chat, but that does it

0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:09.080
