<v Speaker 1>From Mahard where Innovation, Money and Power Collie in Silicon Valley, NBN.

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 2>This is Bloomberg Technology with Caroline Hyde and Ed Luve Love.

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm Caroline Hyde at work Bloomberg's World headquarters in New

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 3>York and.

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 4>I met love Loo in San Francisco. This is Bloomberg

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:32.559
<v Speaker 4>Technology coming.

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:33.160
<v Speaker 5>Up in the next hour.

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Alphabet slumps after a report that Samsung has considered replacing

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 3>Google with Microsoft's being as the default search engine on

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 3>its devices.

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 5>We discussed the impact of the AI.

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:47.560
<v Speaker 4>Race, plus Apple's sales in India. Ramp Up will bring

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 4>you the details and Bloomberg's exclusive reporting which is two

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 4>months ago until WWDC and the.

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Hashtag Love is Blind Live turn to hashtag lover is

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 3>late as Netflix was hindered by traffic issues around the

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 3>popular reality shows Live reunion.

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 4>But first, there's just really one story that's making big moves,

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 4>and that is that New York Times report that Samsung

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 4>is considering replacing Google Search on its installed devices for

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Microsoft's being searched. Microsoft moving three tenths percent up to

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 4>the upside, but look at Alphabet down more than three

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 4>and a half percent. That puts it on track for

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 4>its biggest drop since early February. So clearly the market

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 4>paying attention to what this potentially would mean. The New

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 4>York Times article talking about a potential hit to revenue

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 4>of around three billion dollars for Alphabet, the parent of Google.

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 4>A lot of detail in that report, but clearly the

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 4>market paying attention.

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 3>Caroline, Yeah, and really we see the money move. We

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 3>also want to get to the integrity of Mark Berg

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 3>and whom a police to say is joining us covering

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 3>all things technology, particularly the world of Alphabet out of

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 3>London and Mark When you're trying to analyze how important

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 3>these sorts of narratives are coming from the New York

0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 3>Times reporting and they're like, oh, is it realistic that

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>this could all be down to artificial intelligence in some way?

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 3>And the way in which they're wrapping them.

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 6>I think this is realistic in the way that it

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 6>comes down to competition. This is the Times report talked

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 6>about how it's shocking to people inside Google. This is

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 6>something they didn't expect for a long time. We have

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 6>this lock on the mobile world right. Android phones are

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 6>built on Google, they are packaged with Google Search. Samsung

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 6>for years have been trying its own versions of artificial

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 6>intelligence services, voice assistant services. They've all kind of failed miserably.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 6>Apple has has Siri, but is stuck with Google on search.

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 6>And now for the first time, we have this credible

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 6>idea where a company is saying we're actually going to

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 6>go to BING, and everyone including the market, is taking

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 6>it seriously.

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 4>Mark As we look at search as a marketplace, I

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 4>think Google has more than ninety percent of market share

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 4>globally across platforms based on third party data. But I

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 4>guess the question at this point is how real is

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 4>it for Samsung and it's two hundred and sixty million

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.640
<v Speaker 4>devices shipped last year to just pivot to a completely

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 4>new preferred search app.

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 6>I mean, that would be unprecedented in some ways. You

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 6>know that is you're certainly gonna have some adoption with consumer.

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 6>I imagine Samsung listen is going to take this very carefully,

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 6>right Like, they don't want they obviously want to sell

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.679
<v Speaker 6>more phones, and they don't want a world in which

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 6>they ship a device with with BING and they're selling

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 6>fewer phones. But this is a lot of leverage here

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 6>with this deal with Google where they set across the

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 6>table and Samsung is the biggest hardware partner in the

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 6>Android world and something that they've been working closely with

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 6>Google for a long time. The complication here is that

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 6>you know, Google also provides Android for Free, which is

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 6>not just search, but it's the play store, right, It's

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 6>it's all the suite of apps that make.

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 7>The Android phone work.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 6>And Google of course has their own Pixel Phone that

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 6>has struggled to really become anything as serious contender along

0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 6>with Samsung and Apple. But we understand why Google for

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 6>has been applowing billions of dollars into that for a

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 6>scenario just precisely like this.

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 3>The irony, of course all of this mark is that

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 3>we all associated really the world of artificial intelligence with Google,

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 3>the focus on deep mind from very early on the

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 3>way and from which they've deployed large languid modules and

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 3>AI vision into many of their use cases. What did

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 3>you make of Snapitche in particular taking to the airwaves

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 3>over the weekend and how he spoke perhaps people feeling

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 3>that they're kind of behind on this race.

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was an interesting approach going in sixteen minutes.

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 6>I mean they're talking at audience. I guess is Middle

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 6>America is telling the world that we are the message

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 6>they've been saying for years. So if you listen to

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 6>any Google earnings call, this has been a consistent we

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 6>are ahead on AI, and I think that was certainly true.

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 6>What I do think what chat GIBD did, and I

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 6>don't know necessarily there's gonna be a lot of comparisons

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 6>about the technical prowess, but what they actually came out

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 6>with a consumer application that people can interact with and

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 6>companies can interact with. Right like, every startup in the

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 6>world world is testing out the Church GBT API, something

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 6>that really they locked into this kind of magic that Google,

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 6>despite maybe a technical lead, hasn't really unlocked. That being said,

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, I think that you know, Google's been investing

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 6>so much in this, it has so many, so many engineers,

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 6>you can't count them out of this. But certainly, and

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 6>sort of like the narrative and technology companies as everyone

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 6>wants to try Chat GBT.

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 4>Another part of the New York Times ARSCH call Caroline

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 4>was the idea that Google is going to bring AI

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 4>functionality to search. And actually Google did issue me a

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 4>comment and a statement saying, by the way, we've been

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.919
<v Speaker 4>using AI in Google Search for years, and they'd believe

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 4>they've done so in a safe and responsible way, you know,

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 4>going back to the idea like we've been at this

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 4>for a while. Anyway, I thought that was interesting.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 3>And Amazon said the same thing, didn't they in Adi

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Jasse's letter, We've been doing this for decades, by the way, team.

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly, all right, blueblosmart Berg and out of London.

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much with this topic and bringing Rowhit

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 4>called Carne of Roth Capital Partners. The markets have given

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:10.799
<v Speaker 4>a clear response row Hit to this story. Alphabet shares

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.359
<v Speaker 4>down the most since early fed. What's your reaction to

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 4>the threat of Microsoft being getting traction in the Samsung

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 4>smartphone space?

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 9>Absolutely, I think thanks for having me. I think for

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 9>the first time in fifteen years, there is a some

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 9>serious competitor to Search, to Google. I think that's what

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 9>the market is telling you. For the last fifteen years,

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.279
<v Speaker 9>we have never had a real competitor. You never remember,

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 9>people had Aol, people had Yahoo, people had being Facebook,

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 9>even troide search. Obviously, Apple tried Search. Every company has

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 9>tried to be a dominating company in search and hasn't

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.720
<v Speaker 9>budged Google at all. Last ninety days, people are questioning that,

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 9>and that's what we are trying to figure out whether

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 9>is this a sentiment or perception issue or is this

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 9>twelve months from now a real fundamental issue. Right now,

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 9>it is just a sentiment issue.

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 4>In my opinion, Caroline, we can go back to the

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 4>third party data, right, he is always ninety percent of

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 4>the search market, at least globally.

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think to that point ed, where was

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 3>accusations last week being made that actually, if Google wasn't

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 3>so monopolistic in its power, perhaps we'd see further iteration

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 3>in chatchipt and not being owned just by open Ai.

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 3>But row hits speak to that speak to what perhaps

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 3>the CEOs and the pitch I is trying to make

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 3>an argument for, is that they've been a a trusted

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 3>arbiter of this sort of reskilling, retooling, generational shift in technology,

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 3>and maybe the pace is not being quite so controlled

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 3>by other competitors.

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 9>I think so as an in Google be trust In

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 9>my opinion, they have the data, they have the consumer behavior,

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 9>they have the consumer front end to Internet, and they're

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 9>all that over the years, and they've gone through iterations

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 9>through mobile, through desktop and various different ways. So, in

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 9>my opinion, from a stock perspective, I feel Google will

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 9>come out of this probably unharmed or maybe even stronger.

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 9>In the interim. I think Chad GPD it proposes a real,

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 9>real issue to how kind of search is going to

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 9>evolve over the next six months. Whether Google is ahead

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 9>of the curve, We're always going to be a follower,

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 9>will dictate the stock price in the next six months.

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 9>I feel Google is going to be following the narrative

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 9>that chat GPD is setting out there. That that makes

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.479
<v Speaker 9>it a little bit harder for Google management to be aggressive,

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 9>and I feel they need to step in front and

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.200
<v Speaker 9>come out with more aggressive product launches and open up

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 9>their AI kimono, if you will, in a way that

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:48.320
<v Speaker 9>Chad GPT has done.

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 8>Right.

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.079
<v Speaker 4>Hey, you've got a one hundred and eight dollars eighty

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 4>seven cents target?

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 8>Is that right on Google buy rating?

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 4>How much of what you see in alphabet is the

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 4>potential that BARD brings the legacy of work in artificial intelligence.

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 9>By the way, just to clarify price target as one

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 9>twenty six, you're.

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 8>Right, I apologize one twenty six.

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.079
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, all good, I think again. In my opinion, Bard

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 9>is just one of the several experiments that we will

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 9>see from Google just to highlight that what you were

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 9>discussing earlier that look, we have been doing AI AI

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 9>research and everything that the industry is talking about for

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 9>the last maybe a decade. CHAD GPT is based on

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 9>the technology that was created by Google eight years ago.

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 9>Chad GPD started maybe six years back. So again, Google

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 9>has been the foundation of global AI research for many,

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 9>many years. And I think that's where we'll see more

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 9>experiments and more consumer use cases unlock over the next

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 9>for three to six months. And I think Google needs

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 9>to step their game up in the PR as far

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 9>as PR is concerned.

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Right here called canne Rough Capital Partners than thank you

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.360
<v Speaker 4>for your quick reaction to that story, Caroline in.

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Google would trust quite the key line.

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Meanwhile, let's stick with AI ED because or the first

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 3>wave of academic research applying chatchipt to our world of finance,

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 3>it's arriving. Two new papers have been published this month

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 3>alone that deployed chatchipt in market relevant tasks, One in

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 3>deciphering whether the Federal Reserve statements are hawkish or dubbish,

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 3>whether they pro interest rate cuts or against them, and

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 3>the other in determining where the headlines are good or

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 3>bad for stocks open AI. Get this said, aced both

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 3>tests with chatchipt and I think, of course money managers,

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 3>particularly the quants, have been using large AGORID models for

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 3>a long time.

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 5>But this is about democratization once again, in.

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.079
<v Speaker 4>My mind, goes back to that story we were telling

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 4>last year as well about all of Wall Street hiring

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 4>talent away from the technology sector, people that could use

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 4>and interpret the data generated by these tools.

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 3>And the point being is to whether or not you

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 3>can easily trade on these sorts of numbers, whether it

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.200
<v Speaker 3>means that it all has to be owned by certain

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 3>well very wealthy hedge funds and quant teams that have

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 3>the power the money to hire such expensive talent from

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 3>the technology world, or whether in fact people can start

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.440
<v Speaker 3>turning to these plugins like a Chatchy Beuta to just

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 3>well certainly cost saved to a large extent.

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 4>And when you have Bank of America's Brian moynihan and

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.959
<v Speaker 4>JP Morgan's Jamie Diamond talking about AI tends to give

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 4>it a bit of a momentum, which we will also

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:37.959
<v Speaker 4>stick with. On Bloomberg Technology, Let's get straight to Apple.

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.200
<v Speaker 8>Shares of the iPhone maker down half percent.

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Bloomberg reporting overnight that sales in India reached six billion

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 4>dollars for the twelve month period through March, which represents

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 4>a fifty percent sales growth for the same one year

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 4>period a year earlier. We're learning more, Caroline, about this

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 4>market India in terms of sales, and we know about

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 4>the supply chain story. Let's bring up this chart and

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 4>look at actually the breakdown of Apple sales globally, because

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 4>India is not technically broken out this Bloomberg reporting. According

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 4>to sources, it's lumped in with the rest of Asia Pacific,

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 4>which is seven percent of sales for the full year

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.319
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty two. But it seems like we're growing traction

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.200
<v Speaker 4>there a market where the high price points have been

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 4>a difficult one for Apple to crack. But we know

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 4>that Tim Cook is in that country right now, Caroline.

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it's all about this growing middle class willing

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 3>to spend on those higher price points. It's just talk

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 3>across the board on all things Apple right now. Bloomberg's

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 3>alex Web clocking in late for us over in London,

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.199
<v Speaker 3>just discuss for the first and foremost We've got so

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 3>much to go through with Apple, but the India focus

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 3>the fact that they are able to only do supply

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 3>there but also see the demand there.

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, there are two pieces of this.

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.079
<v Speaker 10>Clearly there's part of the de risking of its manufacturing

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 10>by just trying to pull a little bit out of China,

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 10>and we should highlight it is really just a little bit. Coincidentally,

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 10>it's about seven billion dollars in sales. Just a billion,

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 10>sorry in revenue they generate from products that have made

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 10>their six billion is what they're doing in sales now.

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 10>Quite often, when when people talk about India, they say

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 10>it's ten years behind China. I mean ten years ago

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.959
<v Speaker 10>Apple was still doing in excess of twenty five billion

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 10>dollars in sales in China. So it's got a long

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.959
<v Speaker 10>way to go to get up to what is now

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 10>in excess of seventy billion dollars a year in China.

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 10>But it is clearly making traction that price sensitivity that

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 10>Ed talks about, clearly a massive deal lots of people

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 10>encountering out there, is going to take a long time

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 10>for them to be able to take a meaningful chunk

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.719
<v Speaker 10>out of the unit sales at least that Samsung does there.

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 4>We know that Tim Cooks on the road has been

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 4>tweeting pictures of himself in India. Bloomberg had reported that

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 4>he himself will attend the opening of both the Mumbai

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 4>and New Deli stores this week. We are waiting for

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 4>June and WWDC. It's all good focusing on one market,

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 4>but we're also interested in product and this is supposed

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.240
<v Speaker 4>to be the biggest WWDC ever.

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 8>What are we expecting, Alex.

0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 10>Well, I don't know about the biggest ever, but it's

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 10>only the biggest launch for a very long time. We're

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 10>going to be seeing this new headset. According to you know,

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 10>our colling Mark German's reporting, this is as we know,

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 10>this is for developers. Therefore, there's going to be a

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 10>big emphasis on what is likely to be called xroos

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 10>that is going to be to their mixed reality headset,

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 10>what iOS is to iPhones, what mac os is to

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 10>Max and MacBooks. There's really going to be a huge

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 10>effort there to show developers what they can do and

0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 10>so crucially why it's going to be worth their while

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 10>developing for this platform. Developers are really Apple's edge when

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 10>it comes to any new product. You know, Facebook, Meta

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 10>have really struggled to get a good developer base into

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 10>their product lineup. If Apple can convince it's developers to

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 10>make good apps, then it will give the headset when

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 10>it's released, perhaps later this year, a real leg up

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 10>in competing with this very much nascent space.

0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Caroline, that's the two debates of the industry. Right

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 4>much demand is there for high end augmented reality headset?

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 4>And how much emphasis do they want to put on

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 4>health when it comes to your smart watch?

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:08.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 3>And I think, actually, as that's a good point, isn't it.

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 3>We're looking at this new, bright, shiny object. They're also

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 3>updating the operating systems of some of their original products.

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 3>I think are the watch is going to have a

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 3>bit of a feature there. They've also got new Mac products.

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 5>What else can we expect from them?

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 10>I think that it does the actual new hardware. We're

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 10>going to be seeing some new MacBooks. But you're quite right,

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 10>they're going to be updating the full range of software,

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:34.400
<v Speaker 10>so xros, tvOS, mac os, iOS, watch os, all of

0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 10>these things coming with a few more bells and whistles.

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 10>We're going to be seeing the Apple you know, self

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 10>designed chips going into the MacBook Pro range, which will

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 10>be something new and you know All in all, I

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 10>think we're probably all those things are going to fade

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 10>into insignificance given the attention that's going to be given

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 10>to these new headsets. But there'll be lots of fun

0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 10>tools for developers to play with.

0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 8>All right.

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 4>Thanks to Bloomberg, x Alix Web who line for a

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 4>long time, is out here in San Francisco. He knows

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 4>this company inside out just as well as Mark German.

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 8>We're grateful to have him.

0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 4>All right, coming up the highly anticipated SpaceX starship. It's

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 4>been put on hold. We'll tell you what happened next, Caroline.

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and let's just for a moment take a beat

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 3>as we look at some incredible shots of what could

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 3>have been today as what actually.

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 5>Is going on in the market right here, right now.

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 3>We had some strongly economic data, particularly coming out in

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 3>New York that hits sentiment.

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 5>We see, of course good news being bad news for

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 5>techtocs were up by four tenths of percent. This has Bloomberg. Oh,

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 5>and also a comment on where.

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Only you should be putting your money to work from

0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 3>some experts as well.

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 5>Cities Wealth Cio had this to say, So, companies.

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 11>That have moted around them, you know, different technology companies

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 11>and other industries where you can see both margin growth

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 11>and revenue growth should be rewarded.

0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.159
<v Speaker 5>It's time now for talking tech. Enil Musk.

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, he's incorporated a new entity called Xai.

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.439
<v Speaker 5>It's all calling to Nevada State documents. Now.

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 3>While the documents don't list the company's purpose, Sarama speculating

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 3>that these efforts could be.

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.200
<v Speaker 5>Part of a larger project to rival the.

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Likes of companies like open Ai, which, of course Musk,

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.879
<v Speaker 3>having initially helped found, is now frequently criticized and in

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:27.440
<v Speaker 3>other Musk news. Yes there's more, but SpaceX it's postponed

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 3>the launch of its massive Starship rocket that was set

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.399
<v Speaker 3>to lift off earlier today. Now the company and CEO,

0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.400
<v Speaker 3>of course, El Musk, confirmed there was a pressurization issue

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 3>minutes before the launch.

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 4>It all right, let's stick with the big story, and

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.120
<v Speaker 4>we're joined by Bloomberg News is Space reporter Lauren Grusse,

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.360
<v Speaker 4>who is out there on South Padre Island in Texas.

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 4>We know why there was a pause, a delay, a scrub.

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.119
<v Speaker 4>Will we see starship launch this week?

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 12>You know that is all variable and honestly, this is

0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 12>just the name of the game. When it comes to

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.719
<v Speaker 12>covering rockets, especially the first launch of a brand new

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:03.879
<v Speaker 12>rocket like Starship.

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.400
<v Speaker 1>You know there are going to be scrubs. In fact,

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>if it.

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.320
<v Speaker 12>Had gone off today, I would have been shocked, because

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.800
<v Speaker 12>that is just how these things go when you're testing

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 12>a brand new rocket.

0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Will we see it go this week?

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 12>I really hope so, because I'm staying in South Padre.

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 1>But you know, if I'm going to be stuck in.

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 12>Any place, there are worst places to be stuck, Lauren.

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, already we have from Ilol Musk trying to

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.680
<v Speaker 3>put perhaps a positive spin on it, seeming pretty optimistic.

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 3>But I mean it also might align with one of

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 3>his favorite days.

0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yes, so.

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:39.879
<v Speaker 12>There is a possibility that we could launch on April twentieth.

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 12>You know, there are certain things associated with a date.

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.960
<v Speaker 12>I won't go into them, but yes, I think it

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.399
<v Speaker 12>would definitely please Elon Musk if we did launch on

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:48.880
<v Speaker 12>that date.

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Right, This is significant, Caroline, Right, Starship sixteen point seven

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 4>million pounds of thrust. That's double what Satin five was

0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 4>capable of doing in the seventeenth This is a milestone,

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.640
<v Speaker 4>not just for the industry, Lauren, but for mankind.

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 8>Why, though, is it a milestone.

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 12>Well, if you think about it, I mean, the reason

0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 12>that Elon Musk founded SpaceX to begin with was to

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 12>start a human settlement on Mars. And you know, I

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 12>spoke with analysts, you know, leading up to this. It

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 12>really has all come down to this. This is the

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 12>vehicle that they will eventually use to send people to

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 12>deep space.

0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Like the Moon and Mars.

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 12>And the only way that they can make that dream

0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.120
<v Speaker 12>for reality is if they prove that Starship can actually

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.439
<v Speaker 12>launch to space. So there's still an extremely long road

0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.680
<v Speaker 12>ahead for before anybody is taking any steps on any

0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.919
<v Speaker 12>other worldly surfaces from Starship.

0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 1>But the point is they have to show.

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.400
<v Speaker 12>That it can reach space and it can reach near

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.679
<v Speaker 12>orbital speeds and actually get into orbit before we have

0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 12>any chance of seeing this dream become a reality.

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 3>And if it does happen, Lauren, very briefly, what do

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 3>we expect.

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 5>To actually happen.

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:58.119
<v Speaker 1>You mean from this launch in general?

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.200
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, So this line, which is really just proving out

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:03.439
<v Speaker 12>the basics. They just want to show that super heavy,

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.680
<v Speaker 12>that giant booster that is used to actually send Starship

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 12>into orbit, that it can actually fly, that the two

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:15.200
<v Speaker 12>pieces can separate what's called stage separation, and that starship

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:17.359
<v Speaker 12>can actually get to near orbital speeds. It won't be

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.000
<v Speaker 12>doing a full orbit, it'll actually be coming down off

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.440
<v Speaker 12>the coast of Hawaii, but it will be getting pretty

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:26.359
<v Speaker 12>close to orbit and orbital speeds, and it'll be getting

0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 12>into space. So those are the main things that they

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 12>really want to test. Can it survive max Q, which

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 12>is the point where all these pressures are on the

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 12>rocket and it undergoes the amount of most intense forces.

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.920
<v Speaker 12>Can that stage separation happen, Can it reach space?

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:42.160
<v Speaker 1>And can it get to the orbit?

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.000
<v Speaker 5>Wow, well, we hope it happens.

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 3>For you who's going to be stuck out there for

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 3>a few days. You appreciate you bringing the times, Lauren Grush,

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 3>all things space mean, while all things crypto coming uphead

0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Bitcoin is the being below thirty thousand. We'll talk about

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.639
<v Speaker 3>why is it fundamentals more, the macro picture fractal co

0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:01.960
<v Speaker 3>CEO is going to be joining us Aya Cantorovic. That's

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:16.680
<v Speaker 3>next and that's a Bloomberg Welcome back to you, Bluemog Technology.

0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm Caroline Hide in New York and.

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm medal of Low in San Francisco. Caroline, we check

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 4>the markets. Take a look at where we are, particularly inequities,

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.760
<v Speaker 4>and now's that one hundred softer by around seven tenths

0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 4>of one percent. This is a market that's on track

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 4>for a decline in April. I'm conscious that we still

0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:33.680
<v Speaker 4>have a few days left to go. The debate about

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:35.439
<v Speaker 4>what the FED is or is not going to do

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 4>kind of weighing heavy outperformance in the US listed shares

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:41.359
<v Speaker 4>of Chinese technology companies. You see the Golden Dragon index

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 4>up two point eight percent. A big part of that

0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 4>some of the even news out of that market, overnight

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 4>ten year yield pushing higher eight basis points or so

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.640
<v Speaker 4>to three zero point five to nine percent. We're also,

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:53.520
<v Speaker 4>i think, as you put it, Caroline, seeing some of

0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:56.119
<v Speaker 4>the wind out of the sales of crypto. I'm looking

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 4>at Bitcoin and Ether as an example. In this session

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:04.399
<v Speaker 4>both softer, Bitcoin off by three percent, back below thirty

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:09.120
<v Speaker 4>thousand US dollars per token. Still mix debate out there,

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:12.720
<v Speaker 4>a lot of long term balls and still some momentum

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.080
<v Speaker 4>in the near term based on what we're seeing in

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 4>macro conditions when it comes to rates, but also some

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:19.440
<v Speaker 4>feel good about the underlying technology.

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:21.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and also what's happening in the banking sector, whether

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 3>it was seen of some sort of stability amid or

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:29.040
<v Speaker 3>some concerns around the banking well overall financial conditions that

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:31.160
<v Speaker 3>we were seeing. Let's dig into all of these pushes

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.639
<v Speaker 3>and pulls. I'm pleased to say that Aya Kanderovich is

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:35.280
<v Speaker 3>with us. She is the co found and co CEO

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 3>of Fractal. It's an infrastructure provider for institutional crypto trading

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 3>on chain and also has just announced six million dollar

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.200
<v Speaker 3>seed rays with a financing round led by hack BC.

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 5>So congrats, we've got some money in the bank. AIA.

0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:49.400
<v Speaker 5>Just paint the picture right now.

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:52.119
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we're a little bit weaker on the day, but

0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 3>look at the run and Bitcoin up what eighty percent

0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 3>so far here to date? Eth as well, with a

0:22:56.800 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 3>successful upgrade, are we seeing more not only retell, but

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:04.520
<v Speaker 3>maybe institutional investment confident.

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 5>Is coming back?

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Sure, So I'll actually start with Ethereum. So to your point,

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned that we had the Chappella update happened on

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 2>April twelfth of last week that allowed for two different things,

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:18.240
<v Speaker 2>both to finally move to proof of work from proof

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:22.160
<v Speaker 2>of steak and then also for Ethereum to be able

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 2>to unstake itself and create liquidity in the markets. And

0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:28.119
<v Speaker 2>so really what that does is three different pushes in

0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 2>momentum that we expect to continue as well across institutions

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:35.119
<v Speaker 2>and other users. So, for example, the first piece is

0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:37.480
<v Speaker 2>actually very interesting. If you look at what happened with

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 2>institutional investors in the last update six months ago, you

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 2>actually saw that institutional investors were buying the rumor and

0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:47.199
<v Speaker 2>then selling the news, and so you saw the price

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 2>run up and then immediately drop afterwards. Differently, in this

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:54.679
<v Speaker 2>run up, what you saw was actually the opposite, So

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 2>you had a lot of institutional investors who were shorting

0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 2>ethereum and then on April twelve they had to close

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 2>their shores and therefore by the underlying asset, and that

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 2>really led into the momentum of the price up. The

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 2>second is also the latent demand that's just sitting on

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:10.400
<v Speaker 2>the sidelines, you know, that was looking to see whether

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.040
<v Speaker 2>or not there would be any glitches in ETH and

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the update in order to then pile into the asset class,

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 2>which we then proceeded to see. I will agree with

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:21.439
<v Speaker 2>you that in terms of the users specifically, it's definitely

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:24.640
<v Speaker 2>more crypto natives. But then comes that last piece which

0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 2>is really interesting, which is there was a lot of

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 2>negative sentiment with on chain data around this huge cell

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:34.439
<v Speaker 2>pressure once you could unstake the ethereum, and if you

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:36.439
<v Speaker 2>look at the data, it actually shows that less than

0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:39.719
<v Speaker 2>ten percent of the eth that's been staked is looking

0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 2>is in the queue to unstake, and of that ten

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.120
<v Speaker 2>percent majority is actually just the rewards that have been

0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:48.119
<v Speaker 2>earned since ethereum was staked. So it's very very positive.

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:51.680
<v Speaker 2>And on Friday you saw more eth that was staked

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 2>than withdrawn.

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 3>And many had thought a lot of these people were

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:58.000
<v Speaker 3>long term holders, perhaps were underwater anyway from when they

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.560
<v Speaker 3>first got a stake here or would stay way. But

0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:04.600
<v Speaker 3>to your point of institutions or in general cryptoplayers native

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:08.640
<v Speaker 3>wanting to short, wanting to perhaps use derivatives to perhaps

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 3>prepare themselves for this upgrade, What is liquidity like? What

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 3>is the vacuum like for derivatives at the moment post FTX.

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's a great question.

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 2>The honest answers is the liquidity is definitely much drier,

0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:23.639
<v Speaker 2>which also leads to why you see these momentum driven

0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:27.719
<v Speaker 2>events happen because there's less liquidity in the market and realistically,

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 2>what's going to happen is two years ago we actually

0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:33.639
<v Speaker 2>saw the pendulum swing where markets used to be driven

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:37.879
<v Speaker 2>by Asia based investors and that moved to US based investors.

0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Now we're actually seeing the opposite, where a lot of

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:43.160
<v Speaker 2>the markets are being driven by you Asia based investors

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 2>again and Asia based exchanges. And you'll likely see that

0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 2>happen until the pendulum swings back to.

0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 1>The US.

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 4>Tracking them at price momentum, spot price, use of options.

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 4>It is just one data set. What caught my eye,

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 4>particularly in the back end of March, is the flows

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:04.480
<v Speaker 4>of money into various products tied to crypto. What do

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:07.400
<v Speaker 4>you take away from that? You know, what is leading

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:10.600
<v Speaker 4>the market to put money into these instruments at this time?

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Sure so interestingly, on March tenth, when a SVB filed

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 2>for bankruptcy, Bitcoin's price from that specific date is up

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:21.920
<v Speaker 2>over fifty percent. And I think it really really focused

0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:25.879
<v Speaker 2>in on and reiterated the reason for bitcoin, also the

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.840
<v Speaker 2>narrative around bitcoin being a safe haven, but also when

0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 2>bitcoin was originally created in two thousand and nine following

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:34.120
<v Speaker 2>the two thousand and eight financial crisis, and so you'll

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:37.760
<v Speaker 2>likely see there's always a delayed reaction of money moving

0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:42.880
<v Speaker 2>into investment products globally for digital assets following any instability

0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:45.919
<v Speaker 2>in financial markets. But you'll likely continue to see that happen.

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:46.560
<v Speaker 5>Through your end.

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.399
<v Speaker 3>What's interesting as you come on having just done a

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:53.480
<v Speaker 3>seed round, having successfully put out an offering their infrastructure

0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 3>offering out that institutional clients, clearly seeing that people want

0:26:56.280 --> 0:27:00.600
<v Speaker 3>a different kind of transparency post FDx. But well, you

0:27:00.640 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 3>are based in Switzerland. You are now in between New

0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:06.200
<v Speaker 3>York and Switzerland. What about the regulatory environment. You're just

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:08.920
<v Speaker 3>saying how more of the flows are coming or being

0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:11.239
<v Speaker 3>done out of Asia and most of the companies being

0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 3>founded wanting to go to Asia because of the regulation

0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:13.720
<v Speaker 3>here in the US.

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a good question, and I would say yes and no.

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I think specifically, especially for US as a startup, the

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 2>jurisdictions were very excited about as you mentioned Switzerland as

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:26.920
<v Speaker 2>well as Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, UK and other European jurisdictions.

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:30.679
<v Speaker 2>In the US, actually, specifically we're excited for US regulators

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 2>to move from regulation through enforcement to regulation through collaboration.

0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:35.919
<v Speaker 5>Even if you look.

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 2>At last Friday with the Stable Coin Act that came out,

0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, a lot of that that was a bipartisan

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 2>agreement with heavy, heavy influence from Circle and so it's

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:47.480
<v Speaker 2>exciting to see those things come into play, and that's

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 2>definitely something we're going to keep an eye out for,

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:51.760
<v Speaker 2>specifically to fractal though. What I would say is we

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 2>don't fall under the DeFi or decentralized finance definition. We're

0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 2>very much focused on on chain finance. I'm really just

0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:02.440
<v Speaker 2>using the blockchain to create lower costs and more efficient infrastructure.

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:03.560
<v Speaker 5>It's interesting, ed.

0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 3>That we've talked a lot about the bitcoin run ups,

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:08.919
<v Speaker 3>but many have pointed to some of the old coins

0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:11.560
<v Speaker 3>not being caught up in that rally, and some saying

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 3>even the decentralized exchanges that done phenomenally well in terms

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 3>of volumes, maybe some of their tokens haven't done as

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 3>well as might have been expected of late.

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And the other conversation we've had ia is from

0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:25.359
<v Speaker 4>Eightpril twelve, the momentum that either is or isn't there

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:28.320
<v Speaker 4>in backing the underlying technology. You know, you are a

0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 4>founder and running your own business. How do you view

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:34.000
<v Speaker 4>the health of your company right now, the ability to

0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 4>raise funds, that of your peers as well.

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a great question, and I would really specify

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these tokens or utility tokens, so it's

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 2>really reflective of the usage of the application. To Caroline's point,

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 2>obviously you're not always seeing that one to one that said,

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Fractal doesn't have a token and we don't intend to

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:54.720
<v Speaker 2>anytime soon. And the investment ecosystem, I mean, we were

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 2>able to close around three weeks with a term sheet

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 2>given out the week after FTX collapsed, and so really

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:04.480
<v Speaker 2>strong momentum there, and I think you're continuing to see

0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of momentum for founders who have seen the ecosystem,

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 2>have been in crypto for a while and continue to

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 2>put their heads down and keep building.

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 4>Fractal co founder and co CEO Ayakontorovich, thank you so much. Meanwhile,

0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 4>it's Earth Week here on Earth, and we're looking at

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 4>the innovative ways that technology is taking charge to be

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 4>more energy efficient. When it comes to electric cars, ev

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 4>makers of finding new ways to build sleeker, more cost

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 4>effective systems that utilize the power of the sun.

0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 8>Bloomberg Green has.

0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:43.960
<v Speaker 13>The story, are solar cars the next ev evolution? Decades

0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 13>of work on a solar car Moonshot is slow in

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 13>ceding to a more pragmatic approach, Smaller, lighter, cheaper systems

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:55.640
<v Speaker 13>built to subtly augment electric driving rather than power a

0:29:55.800 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 13>road trip in full. The sun is hard to with

0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 13>as it never stops showing up, and with the market

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:06.480
<v Speaker 13>now rife with electric vehicles, there is an auto ecosystem

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:11.360
<v Speaker 13>increasingly wired for electrons, including a charging infrastructure that on

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 13>car solar systems would no longer have to do all

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:19.640
<v Speaker 13>the heavy lifting. As far as cost, solar panels have

0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 13>steadily become both cheaper and more efficient. Over the past decade.

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 13>The price of solar modules per WAT of power produced

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:31.479
<v Speaker 13>plunged by seventy eight percent to roughly twenty four cents

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 13>per WAT, according to Bloomberg and E. E.

0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 8>App.

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 13>At that rate, a panel array the size of a

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 13>sedan has dropped from two hundred and twenty two dollars

0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:43.720
<v Speaker 13>to just under fifty dollars. Currently, Toyota sells a solar

0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 13>roof as an option on its Preus Hybrid. At Hyundai. Meanwhile,

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 13>a solar roof option is available for its Sonata Sedan,

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 13>and the company is drawing up plans to add solar

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 13>panels to the Ionic five, its breakout ev and what

0:30:58.840 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 13>about Tesla. Elon Musk has stated he believed the car

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 13>is one of the least efficient places to put solar.

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:08.440
<v Speaker 13>That's the Tesla is pursuing an option for its cyber

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 13>truck owners to add solar integrated into the cover of

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 13>the pickup bed and possibly as unfolding wings.

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 8>The sun hard to ignore.

0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Time now for our VC roundup and insect farming startup.

0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Insect spelt with a Y just closed a one hundred

0:31:33.120 --> 0:31:35.640
<v Speaker 3>and seventy five million dollar financing round as it expands

0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 3>globally and looks to shift away from animal feed like

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:42.600
<v Speaker 3>mealworms fed to fish to high margin pet food. Meanwhile,

0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:45.560
<v Speaker 3>a Berlin based Razor Group has raised eighty eight million

0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:48.160
<v Speaker 3>dollars in Series C funding round, bringing its valuation just

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:49.680
<v Speaker 3>as watch as one point two billion dollars. It's all

0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 3>according to tech Crunch, citing sources. It's also acquired its

0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 3>competitor Strives Group as part of a consolidation move.

0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:59.320
<v Speaker 5>Now let's get to what else we're hearing from our.

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:03.280
<v Speaker 3>VC guest so late when they see opportunities on the horizon, Take.

0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:09.480
<v Speaker 14>Listen, I recognize tricky environment right now, not one where

0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:12.680
<v Speaker 14>I'd recommend folks go, you know, running out there to

0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:13.720
<v Speaker 14>try to raise around.

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 7>The reality is to technology reach the point right now

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:19.880
<v Speaker 7>that you actually don't need the same amount of capital

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:20.840
<v Speaker 7>you needed before, and.

0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:23.000
<v Speaker 5>Optimism is coming back to see it. In early stage,

0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:24.040
<v Speaker 5>we are hiring, So.

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:26.800
<v Speaker 7>What we're seeing is a new area of our opportunities

0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 7>for new founders to come and change the industries that matter.

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 5>Everything was happening through cryptos web three.

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:34.040
<v Speaker 15>It was bock Chane, it was everything that has now

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:35.480
<v Speaker 15>shifted over to AI.

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 4>AI has made the business of threat detection, incident response

0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:42.440
<v Speaker 4>a lot more automated AI.

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:44.320
<v Speaker 15>That's definitely an area where we're seeing a lot of

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 15>green shoots.

0:32:46.160 --> 0:32:49.800
<v Speaker 4>Springing today's guests for his take on the future investing opportunities,

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 4>private markets, everything VC so much. DASH is a general

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:57.360
<v Speaker 4>partner over IVP eight point seven billion dollars in committed capital.

0:32:57.480 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 4>AI is quite clearly top of mind for your is

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:02.880
<v Speaker 4>is it tope of mind? Via Absolutely and thanks for

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 4>having me.

0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 15>AI I believe will be the third largest compute revolution

0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 15>that we've seen in our generation. We're going to see

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:15.080
<v Speaker 15>from internet to mobile to now AI the kinds of

0:33:15.080 --> 0:33:17.560
<v Speaker 15>transformational shifts that happen once in a generation.

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 8>We're seeing a play out.

0:33:18.960 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 15>Actually right now in real time. I heard your segment

0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:24.640
<v Speaker 15>earlier today. If you think about the newsday from Samsung,

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:28.120
<v Speaker 15>think about the dollars at steak with the dominance of

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 15>search as it relates to AI. Three billion dollars for Samsung.

0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:33.200
<v Speaker 15>The big fish, of course is coming up in the

0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 15>next sixty days with Apple and Google. That's eighteen to

0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:38.880
<v Speaker 15>twenty billion dollars a year to basically be able to

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:42.360
<v Speaker 15>get the search results. The question is if Apple and

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 15>Microsoft start partnering together, that's a two point six trillion

0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 15>dollar company, a two point three trillion dollar company. This

0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 15>is really going to be the future of the next

0:33:50.080 --> 0:33:51.640
<v Speaker 15>decade in technology.

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Tell me where also feels like it's the future. Samash

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 3>is regulating it to interesting out of Europe at the moment.

0:33:58.160 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Many had thought that they would be looking at high

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:03.640
<v Speaker 3>risk AI applications when they were crafting their new regulation.

0:34:03.760 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Now people looking for it to go into general purpose

0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:08.840
<v Speaker 3>AI as well. What are you thinking about the regulatory

0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:10.239
<v Speaker 3>landscape and building into it.

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:12.280
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think it's a great question.

0:34:12.400 --> 0:34:15.000
<v Speaker 15>I think it's really important to have a balance where

0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:17.919
<v Speaker 15>we need regulations to make sure that the application layer

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:21.360
<v Speaker 15>of AI is used for societal good. I'm a huge

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:25.240
<v Speaker 15>fan of making sure that the government authorities work closely

0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 15>with the industry, whether it's large public companies or startups.

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 15>I also think it's important for potentially thinking about new

0:34:31.960 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 15>regulatory bodies that could actually enforce this in a way

0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:39.400
<v Speaker 15>that's different from traditional internet software and mobile enforcement. I

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 15>think the real question will be does this actually spur

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:45.200
<v Speaker 15>a new generation of mergers and acquisitions for startups and

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 15>public companies or will it slow it down as we

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:49.960
<v Speaker 15>saw happen in the consumer sector over the last five

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 15>to ten years.

0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:53.520
<v Speaker 5>Ooh, bit oft MNA and how it'll drive that ed.

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:56.760
<v Speaker 3>But really, the amount of pitches we get just from

0:34:57.239 --> 0:35:00.399
<v Speaker 3>founders and vcs wanting to come in and talk this

0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 3>ecosystem at the moment is phenomenal.

0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 4>Every single person works in AI now, so it begs

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:08.879
<v Speaker 4>the question, how do you play the field? I mean,

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:10.840
<v Speaker 4>am I right in saying you must get dozens of

0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 4>pitch decks across your desk every day?

0:35:13.520 --> 0:35:15.840
<v Speaker 15>I'd say dozens are an understatement. If you look across

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:18.319
<v Speaker 15>the firm, we're getting more than that. I think the

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:21.120
<v Speaker 15>most important thing to remember is these are early innings,

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 15>so what we're actually seeing is the first set of

0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:27.440
<v Speaker 15>companies that are coming out. It reminds me of geocites

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:29.560
<v Speaker 15>and lycos in the early days of the web. We

0:35:29.600 --> 0:35:32.839
<v Speaker 15>haven't seen the Google equivalents emerge yet. The difference, though,

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.800
<v Speaker 15>is the pace at which things are happening. Chat GPT

0:35:36.360 --> 0:35:36.719
<v Speaker 15>got to.

0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:39.280
<v Speaker 8>One hundred million users in two months.

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:43.080
<v Speaker 15>It took Facebook four years, Snapchat three years, Instagram two

0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:45.960
<v Speaker 15>years to get to one hundred million users. GPT four

0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:48.560
<v Speaker 15>feels like old news. It's less than a month out

0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:51.240
<v Speaker 15>since its general release, and what we're going to see

0:35:51.360 --> 0:35:54.040
<v Speaker 15>is some of these applications, there's a model on which

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:57.360
<v Speaker 15>chat gpt could keep to a billion users within twelve

0:35:57.440 --> 0:35:58.440
<v Speaker 15>to twenty four months.

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 4>The big headline that Caroline and I've been discussing of

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:06.879
<v Speaker 4>late is the Pentagon and leaks. Discord had a role

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:09.279
<v Speaker 4>to play in that, and I believe you were an

0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:10.120
<v Speaker 4>investor in Discord.

0:36:10.200 --> 0:36:13.880
<v Speaker 8>Absolutely we are. Yes, what do you make of that story?

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 4>I think it's really interesting because I see you all

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:19.480
<v Speaker 4>across Silicon Valley, New York, London. VC's putting a lot

0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:24.200
<v Speaker 4>of money into defense related startups, but in this case,

0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 4>this is a social media platform.

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:28.360
<v Speaker 8>Right, this call at the heart of this story. So,

0:36:28.600 --> 0:36:30.040
<v Speaker 8>first of all, what happened was horrible.

0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:32.440
<v Speaker 15>I mean the fact that now that there's been an arrest,

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:35.279
<v Speaker 15>it's been out in the public that this was a

0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 15>member of the US military who basically took classified documents

0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:42.680
<v Speaker 15>and shared them on a private chat room, a private server.

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:46.360
<v Speaker 15>What ended up happening, of course, though, was they violated

0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:50.520
<v Speaker 15>two things. They actually shared illegal classified documentations against the law.

0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 15>They broke the law, and they actually violated Discords terms

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:58.520
<v Speaker 15>of service. So when Discord detected this, they work closely

0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:00.880
<v Speaker 15>with the federal authorities with the Deal to be able

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:03.759
<v Speaker 15>to actually stop this. And now that arrest has been

0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:06.000
<v Speaker 15>made and more evidence has come to light, it shows

0:37:06.000 --> 0:37:10.360
<v Speaker 15>the importance of platforms to actually utilize larger trust and

0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:13.279
<v Speaker 15>safety teams. To tie this back to the previous conversation though,

0:37:13.320 --> 0:37:15.279
<v Speaker 15>this is where I think AI has an even bigger role.

0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:19.440
<v Speaker 15>AI can actually replace human curation and actually enforce not

0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:23.360
<v Speaker 15>just keywords and triggers, but also context. We're in the future,

0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:27.120
<v Speaker 15>not just words, but images can also be flagged faster

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:29.920
<v Speaker 15>that could prevent this sort of abuse and legal activity

0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:30.719
<v Speaker 15>from happening.

0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:31.080
<v Speaker 14>In the future.

0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Interestingly some aster course, when we think about Discord, it

0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:36.520
<v Speaker 3>was really one of those companies we're expecting to soon

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:39.880
<v Speaker 3>enough exit along with a lot of other key companies.

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:41.680
<v Speaker 5>What do you think about these trajectories at the moment?

0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:44.360
<v Speaker 3>These you've talked about M and A in certain areas

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:46.560
<v Speaker 3>of AI, but what about exit roots to something like

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:47.080
<v Speaker 3>a discord.

0:37:48.160 --> 0:37:50.239
<v Speaker 15>Well, I think for a lot of private companies, now

0:37:50.280 --> 0:37:52.720
<v Speaker 15>this is really a period about investing in the future.

0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:56.440
<v Speaker 15>What's exciting is AI actually presents an opportunity to rethink

0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:59.400
<v Speaker 15>your business. It can actually be a huge accelerant, as

0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:00.600
<v Speaker 15>we're seeing with Discord.

0:38:00.640 --> 0:38:01.960
<v Speaker 8>Discords work closely.

0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 15>If you think about the biggest AI communities right now,

0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:08.680
<v Speaker 15>mid Journey and chat GPT open Ai both are actually

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:10.719
<v Speaker 15>on Discord. And if you think about some of the

0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:14.080
<v Speaker 15>products the Discord itself has introduced, the most exciting for

0:38:14.160 --> 0:38:17.279
<v Speaker 15>me was one recently that actually creates a summary tool

0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:19.240
<v Speaker 15>that summarizes.

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:20.960
<v Speaker 8>All the servers the users, so lea.

0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:22.719
<v Speaker 15>If you've left a forum and you want to come

0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:25.640
<v Speaker 15>back and get a quick, fast summary what you missed,

0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:27.200
<v Speaker 15>you have AI as a tool to be able to

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:29.400
<v Speaker 15>do that. My own sense though, is that many of

0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:33.080
<v Speaker 15>these companies are getting stronger, not weaker, because they're investing

0:38:33.160 --> 0:38:36.279
<v Speaker 15>in intellectual property R and D, and in the coming

0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:40.480
<v Speaker 15>years these will actually be really big outcomes for Silicon Valley.

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:43.520
<v Speaker 4>IVP General Potter, So, Mush, Josh, thank you so much

0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:45.120
<v Speaker 4>for joining us, Thank you for having me.

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Ca Yeah, coming up so much more to discuss and

0:38:48.000 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 3>actually about platforms. About Netflix, how it failed to go

0:38:51.160 --> 0:38:53.240
<v Speaker 3>live for a special episode of one of its most

0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 3>popular shows. What the streaming service is saying to the

0:38:56.040 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 3>thousands of disappointed well Love watches stay tuned for that.

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:02.960
<v Speaker 5>Let's get a look at Netflix shares just.

0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 3>After Currently that disappointment used to be impact the share

0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:07.640
<v Speaker 3>market capitalization.

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:08.920
<v Speaker 5>Two we're off by more than two percent.

0:39:09.120 --> 0:39:31.000
<v Speaker 11>Listen, Bloomberg, don't turn the channel, don't stream something else,

0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:32.400
<v Speaker 11>don't go to the bathroom.

0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:33.120
<v Speaker 8>We're coming for you.

0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:33.920
<v Speaker 11>We're coming for you.

0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:36.120
<v Speaker 5>All right, guys, show what we got.

0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Stick around, Nick and Vanessa Leche trying to reassure Netflix

0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:47.520
<v Speaker 3>viewers as Love appeared to be late the live feed

0:39:47.560 --> 0:39:49.360
<v Speaker 3>for its popular Love is Blind reunion.

0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:50.879
<v Speaker 5>Well, the special was delayed by.

0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:53.319
<v Speaker 3>Over an hourly a frenzy of complaints from fans on

0:39:53.360 --> 0:39:57.000
<v Speaker 3>social media. It's Netflix's first streaming event, Mega One, that

0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:59.920
<v Speaker 3>fans would be able to help pick questions as to.

0:39:59.880 --> 0:40:00.680
<v Speaker 5>The show's cast.

0:40:00.960 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 3>Wimburg's Felix Gillett joins us now and oh, I mean

0:40:04.840 --> 0:40:07.080
<v Speaker 3>this was just a bit of a failure for Netflix's

0:40:07.080 --> 0:40:09.120
<v Speaker 3>iteration into these live stream events.

0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, huge disaster for Netflix. I mean, they, you know,

0:40:12.840 --> 0:40:14.560
<v Speaker 16>made a big deal about we're going to do more

0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:17.720
<v Speaker 16>live events. This is part of their big push into advertising.

0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:20.680
<v Speaker 16>You need more live programming. They're kind of dipping their

0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:23.440
<v Speaker 16>toes and they did the Chris Rock special last month.

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:25.960
<v Speaker 16>This is their second big live stream event. For it

0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:29.279
<v Speaker 16>to fail not only signals of viewers, like you know,

0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:32.920
<v Speaker 16>it's disappointing right now, but also all the media watchers,

0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:36.719
<v Speaker 16>everyone that's thinking about buying advertising sports leagues. Do you

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 16>trust Netflix to live stream games in the future? You know,

0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:42.320
<v Speaker 16>this is not a great start.

0:40:43.200 --> 0:40:45.600
<v Speaker 4>We'll we'll get a full opportunity carry for a post

0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:48.719
<v Speaker 4>mortem because Netflix has earnings in twenty four hours time

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:51.120
<v Speaker 4>or so. One of the worst performers on the s

0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:53.680
<v Speaker 4>and P five hundred. Felix, what if Netflix had to

0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:55.680
<v Speaker 4>say I think they issued an apology, didn't they.

0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:58.480
<v Speaker 16>They apologized, you know, they said, stick around, we're going

0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:01.160
<v Speaker 16>to tape the show. There was a lot audience, so

0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:03.400
<v Speaker 16>they said, okay, we'll do the reunion. We'll tape it

0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 16>and then we'll put it up tomorrow. So at some

0:41:05.680 --> 0:41:07.800
<v Speaker 16>point today, presumably fans are going to get.

0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:08.239
<v Speaker 8>To watch this.

0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:11.760
<v Speaker 16>I think it's less of a problem with the fans

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:16.359
<v Speaker 16>and just a broader problem for Netflix when they've made

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:18.719
<v Speaker 16>such a big deal about Okay, we're doing this big

0:41:18.760 --> 0:41:22.560
<v Speaker 16>advertising initiative and we're really going to start ramping up

0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:25.960
<v Speaker 16>our live program in this is just not what you

0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:27.680
<v Speaker 16>want to see getting out of the gate.

0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:32.319
<v Speaker 3>Netflix with their tweets, AOC and other lawmakers weighing in

0:41:32.640 --> 0:41:35.960
<v Speaker 3>to what was really a moment of culture but it

0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:36.640
<v Speaker 3>kind of failed.

0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:38.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, thank you so much, Felix Jellette.

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:41.880
<v Speaker 3>What a fascinating story apparently should get seamstress in.

0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:43.720
<v Speaker 5>But that was all things Netflix.

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Now, that was all things Bloomberg technology done for this particular.

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:50.640
