1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: From Mahard of Where Innovation, Money and Power. 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 2: Collie in Silicon Vallet NBN. This is Bloomberg Technology with 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 2: Caroline Hyde and Ed Love Love. 4 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 3: I'm Caroline Hyde at Bloomberg's world headquarters in New York. 5 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 4: And I'm Ed Lovedlow in San Francisco. This is Bloomberg 6 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 4: Technology coming up. 7 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 3: Tesla asked its investors to approve Musk's fifty six billion 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 3: dollar pay package. Again, we discussed the vote on moving 9 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 3: to Texas and its criticism of the Delaware court that 10 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 3: voided Musk's twenty eighteen award. 11 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 4: Chip making equipment orders dive at ASML as Europe's most 12 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 4: valuable company faces a pullback from its Taiwanese and South 13 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 4: Korean customers. 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 5: Are chip stockpiles back. 15 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: And meanwhile we bring you a key conversation with the 16 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: CEO of debt laden Autos as the French IT company 17 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 3: seeks to save itself. That and so much more coming 18 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 3: up throughout this hour. But let's get your cook check 19 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 3: on these markets. And I want to shine a light 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 3: and what's happening ultimately an the equity market, which pulls 21 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 3: back a little bit from where it had been. We're 22 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 3: seeing a little bit of caution, of course, as we 23 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: digest a more hawkish federal reserve, as we think about 24 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 3: where JA power is really steering us in terms of 25 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 3: number of cuts ubs, thinking it'll be two for this 26 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 3: year starting in maybe September. 27 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 6: Nevertheless, we're seeing. 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 3: Actually bob markets continuing to outperform, and not as much 29 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: as they were earlier. Red currently seeing a twenty year 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 3: yield just down by about two three basis points to 31 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: remember big auction coming ahead of that all important Beige 32 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: Book as well, and moment we're moving on and have 33 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: a look at what's happening in the world of crypto, 34 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: because Bitcoin has actually been well on the downside, even 35 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 3: as the US dollar is for once falling now after 36 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 3: six this is the first time in six days we've 37 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: actually seen the US dollar give up some of its 38 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: strength as we maybe just digest what has been, of 39 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: course an apparent slightly more hawkish shift, where we're looking 40 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 3: at a bitcoin currently off by two and a half 41 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 3: percent riskasset's still cautious out there are but what are 42 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: you watching? 43 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 4: On the micro Tesla continues to dominate headlines and market moves. 44 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 4: We're down for a four straight session, that's the worst 45 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 4: run of declines since the beginning of this year, and 46 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 4: the stock is trading at its lowest level in almost 47 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: a year. And I don't think this is to do 48 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 4: with the two red headlines on the Bloomberg tumil. I 49 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 4: think the proxy revealing that investors will vote on that 50 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 4: original twenty eighteen pay package rejected by a court, and 51 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 4: the idea of incorporating in Texas. I don't think that's 52 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 4: the downward pressure. There's indigestion from the events of the 53 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 4: last four days, executive departures, layoffs, and Elon's comment about 54 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 4: going all in on ROBOTAXI, and I think a lot 55 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 4: of people are trying to understand what's happening, what is 56 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 4: the big picture and when does it happen. But the 57 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 4: stock's under a lot of pressure, while the talk from 58 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 4: Elon Musk on his own platform X is fighting talk. 59 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 5: And I think we've got some pretty good guests to 60 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 5: go through that with. 61 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about the fighting talk, let's talk about 62 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: the reaction throughout. Let's start the Bloomberg's Crow Todell, And 63 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 3: what's so interesting is ultimately coming out fighting to Delaware, 64 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 3: to the court, to the judge that said initially, this 65 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 3: twenty eighteen pay package is far too much and new 66 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: board are not doing enough to push back. But I'm 67 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 3: interested ased why the argument goes that it would cost 68 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: billions more to renegotiate a pay package rather than just 69 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: try and vote through the current one. 70 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 7: Yeah, I do think it's interesting that the board sort 71 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 7: of you know, portrayed this as a nuisance, really this 72 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 7: idea that they would have to take on additional expense 73 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 7: that you know, the company accounted for having to set 74 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 7: up these options and set aside this this compensation for 75 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 7: musk and essentially would have to sort of, you know, 76 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 7: do it over again. It does also strike me just 77 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 7: from the language that was used in the filing that 78 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 7: it was sort of musky in and that Robin Denholm, 79 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 7: the chair of the company, you know, referred to this 80 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 7: idea of essentially that the court had taken away shareholder 81 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 7: or voice. It was kind of a freedom of speech 82 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 7: esque defense of this pay package. But of course, you know, 83 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 7: share you know, corporate governance critics are not going to 84 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 7: look on this very family, this idea of you know, 85 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 7: this this award being slapped down and the board just 86 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 7: going back to the world with the same plan. 87 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 4: Craig, you've been reading the proxy for the last four 88 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 4: hours and thirty minutes. 89 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 5: I know you have been at your desk doing that. 90 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 4: There's some granular detail in it that Tesla explains a 91 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: randy compensation program and the idea of reincorporating in Texas 92 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: in parallel, and my read on it is that they 93 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 4: basically don't want to be accused of using the Texas 94 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 4: incorporation as leverage in this ongoing pay issue. 95 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, they want to kind of pair these two basically 96 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 7: get the shareholders backing again. You know, I guess make 97 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 7: the case really that shareholders, if they didn't already know 98 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 7: what went into this award, the Delaware court just you know, 99 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 7: brought to light a lot of these details, made clear 100 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 7: what was going on here and really sort of put 101 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 7: it back in the court of the shareholders and say 102 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 7: are you okay with this or aren't you? And of 103 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 7: course you know, we have you know, heard rumblings reported 104 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 7: on this idea that retail shareholders were really sort of 105 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 7: an uproar, you know, based on just at least the 106 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,119 Speaker 7: volume of complaints about the way this was handled. Also 107 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 7: Tesla saying in the proxy that four of its ten 108 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 7: biggest institutional investors wrote to the company or you know, 109 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 7: somehow communicated that they were in support of this award. 110 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 7: So there is some reason to think that perhaps this 111 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 7: stands a chance of being approved, just as it was back. 112 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 4: In twenty eighteen, it was a load of dents texts 113 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 4: to go through testas down a percentage point. That way 114 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 4: of sessions in moos created ow great work, Thank you 115 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 4: very much. Just keep a conversation going with Pierre Faragu, 116 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 4: who's head of Tech Infrastructure research at New Street Research. 117 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 4: Just give me one sentence, what is the story of 118 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 4: Tesla right now? Just one sentence. 119 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 8: I'm not very good at doing one sentence, you know that. 120 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 9: So the one sentence would be Testa is a car 121 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 9: manufacturer first and for the seable future, they need to 122 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 9: continue to be successful at manufacturing cars, and that's a 123 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 9: platform for them to do additional amazing things. 124 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 8: You have a donomous driving. 125 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 9: They are the most advanced player in the world on 126 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 9: supervised autonomous driving, so your car driving by itself under 127 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 9: your supervision. They're making exceptional progress. There is a very 128 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 9: long term, like over the horizon goal host of being 129 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 9: able to do Robert. It's a much more still challenging 130 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 9: thing to get to very uncertain so and there's also 131 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 9: the opportunity to develop human and humanoid robots on the 132 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 9: same technology platform as FIG And these things will take 133 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 9: us whichever way you look at it. 134 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 8: And we know Elon Musk is very impatient, wants to 135 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 8: accelerate that momentum, but it's going to take us. 136 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 9: And in the meantime, we also need Tesla to see 137 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 9: that Tesla is still going to be a very successful 138 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 9: g manufacturers being able over time to stabilize pricing, to 139 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 9: continue to gain share with the product they have in 140 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 9: the market today, and then in the next two three 141 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 9: years to be able to ramp a large volume, lower 142 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 9: price platform to continue to grow sustainably, and all that 143 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 9: should deliver revenue growth and margin expansion. 144 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 8: And that's really like the near term and the longer 145 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 8: term is yes. But and robotaxes. 146 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 4: It was a loaded question, but you did give me 147 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 4: one sentence just without full stops of punctuation. 148 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 5: That's okay. 149 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 4: The reason I ask it is I'm trying to understand 150 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 4: in the moment the downward pressure on the stock, and 151 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 4: I don't think it's got much to do with the 152 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 4: proxy So of all the headlines of the last four days, 153 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 4: which was of most interest to ups. 154 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 9: Of the last few days, the most important headlines have heard, well, 155 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 9: you know, the most important thing of the last few 156 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 9: days was actually to digest swear the headlines of last week. 157 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 8: And so we've heard, like, we've read a rota's report 158 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 8: mode to. 159 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 9: Being canceled and things like that, and we've had like 160 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 9: you know, ins and indications from Milan Musk and from 161 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 9: this last chief designer that the modity is probably not cancered. 162 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 9: And so the most important breakthrough earlier this week was 163 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 9: the understanding that probably what's happening to that Tesla is 164 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 9: that Tesla is going to prioritize designing developing the robot 165 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 9: taxi in Austin for now, because anyway, the model too 166 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 9: will need to wait for Mexico to ramp in millions 167 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 9: of units, and Mexico is still two three years away, 168 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 9: and so in the meantime, producing only a quarter of 169 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 9: a million Model twos in Austin doesn't really help. 170 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 8: It's it's like a very very little help. 171 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 9: And so my educated guess is that Elan understood that 172 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 9: and thought, okay, let's go all in on robot taxi. 173 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 9: Let's get a platform out, let's have a small flet 174 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 9: on which we can try out tests, improve the technology, 175 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 9: and then let's get back to the model too a 176 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 9: bit later. So hopefully next week when the company reports, 177 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 9: we get a bit more lightly on that. So that's 178 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 9: really the big thing of the last forty eight. 179 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 3: I like the fact that you give us your reasoning, 180 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 3: you interpretation, pr give us your reasoning on whether the 181 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 3: stock should be down by a third so far this year. 182 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 9: Yes, so if you look at the potential of the 183 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 9: company in the long run, that's a nonsense. 184 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 8: Tesla makes electric cards. 185 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 9: Electric cars remain I think the future of cards and 186 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 9: nobody on us can make electric cars as good as 187 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 9: Tesla and as cost efficiently. And if anything, this gap 188 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 9: is widening. I just took delivery of my new medal three, 189 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 9: the high Lander. Like the podcast Testa is making it 190 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 9: doing grades and very cost efficient. 191 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 8: Cards is still mind blowing. 192 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 9: So I think it's still a very powerful company in 193 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 9: the stock is vastly undervalued if you look at it 194 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 9: in the long run. In terms of short term developments, 195 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 9: I have a lot of sympathy for where the stock 196 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 9: is going has been going in the last three months 197 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 9: because Tesla has been hitting a wall in terms of growth, 198 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 9: has been forced to regius pricing lots, you know, like 199 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 9: finding themselves in a situation where they were raising increasing 200 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 9: productions faster than demon could could increase. So they have 201 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 9: to reset the bar and it's not going to happen 202 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 9: over a few weeks. We still have a lot of 203 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 9: inventories ri seeing are still low. Demand is still not 204 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 9: enough to comfortably absorb the production today, so we will 205 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 9: need some time, you know, to get the start back 206 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 9: on track, and of course the stock correcting to that 207 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 9: is the way the market works, and yes, I have 208 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 9: sympathy for that. TESTA is at a low point, is 209 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 9: between two gross trajectories, continues to work on you know, 210 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 9: long terim moonshots like Theroid and a robotaxi, and in 211 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 9: the meantime, like the next couple of years are going 212 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 9: to be years of recovery. 213 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 8: So ahead of that, seeing the stock quickening makes sense 214 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 8: to me, even. 215 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 9: If I would disagree with that blatantly with evaluation implied, 216 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 9: if she will get it over like a three to 217 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 9: five year horizon, yeah. 218 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: Giving us short term and the long term, we thank you, 219 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 3: Head of Tech infrastructures, research of a new street research. 220 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 6: Some of the longest sentences in the house, but we 221 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 6: love it. 222 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, coming up tech earnings, they're upon us will dive 223 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 3: deeper into what to expect and the current state of 224 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 3: tech market's more broadly aired. 225 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 6: What are you looking at ahead of that conversation? 226 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 4: Philadelphia Semiconductor Index or SOCKS twenty seven names in the red, 227 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 4: three in the green. 228 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 5: Biggest drop on ASML. 229 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 4: The story chip contract manufacturers are not ordering chip making equipment. 230 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 5: What does that tell us? We'll explain next. This is Bloomberg. 231 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 3: Technology ASML chip equipment maker, having its worst day since 232 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 3: June twenty twenty two. Now put it into context, this 233 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 3: is a company that's up about twenty five percent so 234 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 3: far this year. Nevertheless, we see a pullback because it's 235 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: earnings really disappoint on the quarter that we've just seen 236 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 3: in terms of revenue. But also pointing to this quarter 237 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 3: we're already in saying it's going to be low where 238 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: the market had anticipated. Why, Well, we're seeing TSMC Samsung 239 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 3: pull back on perhaps some of the orders that we 240 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: thought for some of their overall chip equipment. 241 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 6: Now, this still shows a chip sector that's. 242 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 3: In recovery when you're thinking of our own purchases of 243 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 3: electronic goods, and they're like, but what of the AI 244 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: revolution ed? This is what's so interesting is the fact 245 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: that actually their number one market, it's China. Basically half 246 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 3: of their revenue is coming from China at the moment, 247 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 3: even though we see those sanctions, those curbs on such 248 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 3: very high EUV chip equipment going to China, they can't 249 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: get their hands on that, but actually they're still relatively 250 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: strong orders for the lower elements of where that chip 251 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 3: equipment has been going. 252 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 4: But notably, look their own revenues that China historically is 253 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 4: big market. The story of the anxiety is about not China, TSMC, Taiwan, 254 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 4: Samsung in South Korea, all this CAPEX commitment, but they're 255 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 4: not fronting up in the short term. The drop was 256 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 4: called on quarter sixty one percent for EUV lithography. Basically, 257 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 4: they ain't buying machines that make chips. Why let's dig 258 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 4: deeper into these markets tech earning seasons also around the 259 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 4: corner epek Oscar Diskay, a senior market analyst over at 260 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 4: Swiss quote. You know, there's the headlines governments in Europe 261 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 4: and the United States right in big checks, saying come 262 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 4: and build chip factories. 263 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 5: It's going to be great. 264 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 4: And Samsung and TSMC gave us better capex outlooks for 265 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 4: this year, and then we've got ASML and things aren't 266 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 4: going so rosy. 267 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 5: What was your read on that? 268 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 10: Well, Actually, ASML Earning is really disappointed this morning in 269 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 10: Europe and kind of raised a couple of ibros regarding 270 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 10: the sustainability of the demand growth from chip makers and 271 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 10: the sustainability. 272 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 2: Of the AI. 273 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 10: Really now, it's important to note that ASML said that 274 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 10: the second half of this year is going to see 275 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 10: a rebound and they actually kept their full year outlook unchanged, 276 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 10: but obviously because now we are used to have fantastic 277 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 10: results from chip makers while the ASML's disappointment. Disappointment has 278 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 10: been a sour taste in investors well mouth this morning. 279 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 10: And I'm actually we actually think that at some point 280 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 10: reasonably the growth and growth expectations for chip makers will 281 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 10: be leveling out, and it's just to see if this 282 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 10: is the quarter that we will see these expectations slow down, 283 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 10: and there is a possibility that we do see them 284 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 10: slow down, and that's going to be able to trigger 285 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 10: actually a sizeable downside correction and profit taking. But more 286 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 10: broadly regarding AI, well, ASMA also said that they expect 287 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 10: AI to continue to contribute to their revenues, and we 288 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 10: do also expect AI really to continue, maybe not in 289 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 10: the same way because we expect some changes within the 290 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 10: AI segments. So what I mean by that is we 291 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 10: saw so far the first phase, what we call the 292 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 10: first phase of the AI really benefit to companies, to 293 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 10: chip makers, data centers, cloud businesses, all these companies that 294 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 10: do provide AI tools other companies. But we are now 295 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 10: thinking that there will be second phase in this AI 296 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 10: really which is expected to benefit two companies that actually 297 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 10: invest in massively in AI technologies and tools and which 298 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 10: should shortly start well seeing the return on their AI investments. 299 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 6: So I think that even though we see. 300 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 10: Some disappointment in terms of chip maker earnings Squart, while 301 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 10: the AI really is not ready to end, you. 302 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 3: Pack brun that out to the rest of earning season 303 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 3: for us, because well, there's a lot of optimism that 304 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 3: AI is already going to be helping with costs for example. 305 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 10: Well, actually, the AI has been the major talking point 306 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 10: and the expectations are quite high. 307 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 5: Mind you. 308 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 10: I mean looking at the magnificent seven socks expectations around 309 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 10: learning's growth of around forty percent for the first quarter. 310 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 10: That's huge number. That's still down from fifty five percent 311 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 10: printed a quarter earlier. But if we single out stocks 312 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 10: like Tesla and Apple who have been in trouble in 313 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 10: the first quarter, will the expectation of earnings growth goes. 314 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 6: All the way up to eighty percent. 315 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 10: So now we're talking about a handful of AI sucks, 316 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 10: namely Nvidia, Microsoft, but also Google, and we're sold by 317 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 10: Facebook and Amazon. So I think that there is a 318 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 10: huge optimism out there. But what we will be really 319 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 10: interested in is who within this AI segment is going 320 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 10: to be profiting from the AI developments, whether it's going 321 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 10: to be the provider of AI tools or are we 322 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 10: going to shift towards well the user of the AI tools. 323 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 6: IMPAC great to have your voice in the show. Thank you. 324 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: Ipek Oscar Deshka, Senior market analyst, Swiss quote giving us 325 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: the context. JP Morgan, Chase c Jamie Dinan. He makes 326 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 3: no secret of his firm than it is all in 327 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 3: on artificial intelligence. Now the head of the world's biggest bank, 328 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 3: when he's laying out his vision for the future money 329 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 3: in this AI world. 330 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 6: He spoke with Bloomberg Original's. 331 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 3: Host Emily Chang about that and so much more in 332 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 3: the premiere episode of The Circuits second season, particul Listen. 333 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 2: The best needs be prepared for any business. 334 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 11: I think when you think about really think about things 335 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 11: that can go terribly wrong, can you survive them? You know, 336 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 11: it could be technology, it could be government regulations, it 337 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 11: could be it could be the literally the weather. If 338 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 11: you're a restaurant, you know that might close you down. 339 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 11: If you have if you lose this week's business, you're 340 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 11: out of business. Get enough cash. So you should think 341 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 11: all that through. 342 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 12: Bill Gates once said banking is necessary, banks are not 343 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 12: to what extent could AI or fintech replace traditional banks. 344 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 11: So I think, first of all, I remember him saying 345 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 11: banks of dinosaurs. I spoke to about it in nineteen 346 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 11: ninety seven, and obviously he was dead roll. We probably 347 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 11: agree to that, but he's not wrong. The technology changes everything. 348 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 11: And if anyone is complacent or arrogant or think that 349 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 11: because you have a big position to day, you get 350 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 11: a big position tomorrow, that's a mistake. But the end 351 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 11: of this fine what is banking. Someone's going to have 352 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 11: to hold the money. Someone's got to move the money, 353 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 11: someone's got to raise the money, someone's got. 354 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 2: To do research, you know, around money. 355 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 11: Those services will still be around, and you know, hopefully 356 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 11: we're doing it and using a lot have to do 357 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 11: a better job at it. But I've always thought it's 358 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 11: very possible that some tech thing, you know, distant intermediates 359 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 11: a piece of that. And I've been writing about you know, 360 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 11: big tech going to our business. We've got fintech. We 361 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 11: also have big tech, and they will embed payment systems 362 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 11: in there. Some we're going to white label banks kind 363 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 11: of what Apple did. 364 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 13: Uh. 365 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 2: You know, they have the right to do that. I'm 366 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 2: not against that. 367 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 11: I would be against unfair use of their position to 368 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 11: dominus in a business. 369 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 12: Well, Apple is going deeper into financial services. 370 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 6: Do you worry about the bank of Apple. 371 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 11: Well, we'll get to compete, so they have a tough competitor. 372 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 11: But you know they hold money, move money. Yeah, they're 373 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 11: a form of a competitor. You know, we also partner 374 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 11: with them, but I'm very used to partnering and competing 375 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 11: with lots of people. 376 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 12: Existential threat. 377 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: I don't think it's an existential threat. But I think 378 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: if we were complacent about it. 379 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 4: Yes, that was JP Morgan, Chase CEO, Jamie Diamond, and 380 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 4: right here on set, this is being back in the 381 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 4: regional so it's Emily Chang. Jamie Diamond is kind of 382 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 4: one of the most upset about people like high flying 383 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 4: executive in the person yep, the circuit series too. 384 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 5: That's kind of what's cool. 385 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 4: About it is you get people in a chair but 386 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 4: being themselves. How did you do it this time around? 387 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 14: Oh boy? 388 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 12: And this was my first time meeting him. You know, 389 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 12: it was all about London, right in London, and he 390 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 12: was just there for a tech conference really quick. It 391 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 12: was all about just making the most of every single minute, 392 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 12: the handshake, the walk to the interview room, the chit 393 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 12: chat that you know before we actually got quote unquote 394 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 12: on camera for you know, the formal sit down interview, 395 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 12: and you know, we talked about how many days he's 396 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 12: on the road a year, one hundred and twenty days. 397 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 6: We talked about childhood, family. I asked, you know, how 398 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 6: do you do it? He was like, what do you mean, 399 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 6: how do you juggle it all? 400 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 12: And I think he kind of appreciated that question because 401 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 12: it's you know, you normally ask that to a woman, 402 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 12: and you don't ask that to someone like date Jamie Dimond, 403 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 12: and he was like, look, I don't I don't socialize, 404 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 12: I don't go on red carpets. It's it's work and 405 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 12: family and that's what it is, and family actually comes first. 406 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 12: And so that's kind of where we started, and we 407 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 12: tried to open up from there. 408 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 3: You then, of course peel away not only about his 409 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 3: family and keutles for continuing to ask that of both 410 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 3: men and women, but ultimately about how AI is changing 411 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 3: his business. You're going to be thinking about AI for 412 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 3: the rest of the season as well. 413 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure AI is a. 414 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 12: Huge part of the season, as it is a huge 415 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 12: part of your show. I mean, it's a huge part 416 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 12: of our world. We can't avoid it. One of the 417 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 12: interesting questions I had for him is, you know, Chat JPM, 418 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 12: will something like that exist in the future where we 419 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 12: could ask, you know, I've got thirty years, what should 420 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 12: I do with my money? And he said, essentially yes, 421 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 12: it's already doing that. We've got AI embedded and everything. 422 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 12: It's gonna learn more and more about you. Will I 423 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 12: be able to say to Chat JPM. I want to 424 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 12: get rich quick, and he was like, I hope it 425 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 12: tells you that you're crazy, because that's just. 426 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 6: Not possible. 427 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 5: Really quickly. What can we expect this season? 428 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 8: Oh? 429 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 12: Well, I hope you love it. We're traveling. We're taking 430 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 12: you to Latin America, going on Netflix sets. That's sort 431 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 12: of the next leg of their global expansion. After South Korea, 432 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 12: we go to see Mary Bara and Troy. We spend 433 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 12: a lot of time with her and really get to 434 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 12: know her behind the scenes. Palmer Lucky, the founder of Oculus, 435 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 12: and of course Anderild now making drones and satellites, AI 436 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 12: and warfare. 437 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 6: I hope you love it, sure. 438 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 5: Well, Bloomberg Original's host Emily Change. 439 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 4: You can catch the full first episode tonight on Bloomberg 440 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 4: six pm Eastern. 441 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 6: Welcome back to Bloombog Technology. I'm Caroline Hyde in New. 442 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 5: York and I'm as our Vote in San Francisco. 443 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 4: A very quick check in on the markets and when 444 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 4: it comes to publicly traded technology names. I'm taking a 445 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 4: look at Tesla sevent tens four percent. It's paired its decline, 446 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 4: but we're still down for a fourth straight session. We 447 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 4: talked about the reasons why earlier in the show with 448 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 4: Pierre Ferugu it's a sock that's below five hundred billion 449 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 4: dollars now in market cap, and you know, I'm looking 450 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 4: for stories. I'm looking for clear downward direction in the market. 451 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 4: Tesla was one name that contributes to that. Bitcoins so 452 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 4: really interesting. Actually during the course of this show, Carrow, 453 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 4: you highlighted it earlier. But we're now down nearer to 454 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 4: sixty thousand US dollars per token on bitcoin, a drop 455 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 4: of four percent in the session of an asset that 456 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 4: trades twenty four to seven on the Bloomberg terminal. There's 457 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 4: a lot of writing about the real world use case 458 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 4: ATMs in Latin America becoming more mainstay, but also the 459 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 4: industry bracing for the harving loads of people saying they're ready. 460 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 4: But if you look at some of the technology related 461 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 4: stocks linked to crypto, those are also seeing some downward pressure. 462 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 5: And we other pieces of news from that industry too. 463 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 3: We do, and let's dive in because Gray Scale Investment 464 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 3: CEO Michael the Sonosheine. He says that the market for 465 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 3: US spot bitcoin ETFs, still relatively new, hasn't seen. 466 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 6: Wide scale institutional adoption at least. 467 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 3: In an exclusive conversation with blouobg TV, the CEO also 468 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 3: spoke about the SEC's approval of bitcoin ETFs and the 469 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: long road to regulatory approval. 470 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 6: Is what we have to say. 471 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 15: Even though they've been in market now for three and 472 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 15: a half months, we still do not have listed option 473 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 15: unspot bitcoin et apps. This is a really important feature 474 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 15: that investors want and they deserve. This can help investors 475 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 15: to manage their positions, manage risk. Ultimately, I do believe 476 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 15: that the SEC should be approving these so that they're 477 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 15: once again not in a position to be treating spot 478 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 15: bitcoin et apps disparately from you know, bitcoin futures based UTPs. 479 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 4: Let's stick with regulation. Moving on to stable coins now. 480 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 4: I'm to push in the House and the Senate to 481 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 4: pass such legislation as soon as next month. Senators Loomis 482 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 4: and Gillibrand are proposing a measure that would ban algorithmic 483 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 4: stable coins and say that bill would protect consumers in 484 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 4: US dollar while enabling innovation in payments. Scout to DC 485 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 4: with Bloombers Kaylee Lyons. I saw a headline on the 486 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 4: terminal this morning that says the legislation has momentum from 487 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 4: one of those senators, does it. 488 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 489 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 16: This is an effort by Gillibrand and Lummis, who have 490 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 16: had cryptoinitiatives in the past. They've introduced in the past 491 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 16: much wider legislation to kind of set regulatory standards for 492 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 16: the industry as a whole. This is a much narrow effort, 493 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 16: and perhaps the narrowness of it is what could actually 494 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 16: get this across the finish line in the way that 495 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 16: other efforts have not. Essentially, what we're talking about here 496 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 16: is a framework for stable coins, as you mentioned, that 497 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 16: would ban algorithmic stable coins. Perhaps the example of an 498 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 16: algorithmic stable coin that looms largest in our head is 499 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 16: terry USD, which of course was supposed to be pegged 500 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 16: one for once and the dollar, but instead of being 501 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 16: backed by reserved to use smart contracts to try to 502 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 16: keep that peg, which worked until it did not and 503 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 16: then collapsed in fabulous fashion with forty billion dollars being 504 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 16: wiped out. So they want to avoid that in the future. 505 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 16: What this regulation instead would do is not allow those 506 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 16: and require one to one reserve requirements for stable coin issuers, 507 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 16: so making sure there actually is a dollar for every 508 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 16: one dollar stable coin that is out there, would set 509 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 16: some other guidelines as well as to the authorities that 510 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 16: federal and state regulators would have. And interestingly, it also 511 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 16: would establish the FDIC as being able to recover lost 512 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 16: assets these stable coins collapse. Obviously, again, that's probably a 513 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 16: product of what we have seen in the past. Will 514 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 16: this initiative actually move forward is kind of a question 515 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 16: that will be left to the Democratic Senator from Ohio 516 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 16: and chair of the Banking Committee, Shared Brown. He is 517 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 16: largely a cryptoskeptic, but in an interview this week he 518 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 16: did suggest that he could see the stable coin measure 519 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 16: attached to other measures that have gone through his committee, 520 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 16: including safe banking for marijuana companies in the clawbacks of 521 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 16: compensation for executives of collapse banks. So we'll see if 522 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 16: this initiative does move forward in the Senate. And I 523 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 16: would note as well that in the House, the Chair 524 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 16: of the Financial Services Committee, Patrick McHenry, along with the 525 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 16: ranking member Maxine Waters, are working on a stable coin 526 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 16: effort of their own. 527 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean already meeting with Senate to Majority Leader 528 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer about this and Kayleie more broadly, how necessary 529 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 3: is is for the industry to have some sort of 530 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 3: robust set of rules of god rails. We've already been 531 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 3: speaking with the European Commissioner, for example, about how they've 532 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 3: been trying to enforce regulation, and at least it's clarity 533 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 3: of some sort. 534 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 16: Clarity is what this industry is often asking for, Caroline, 535 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 16: and certainly this probably does not go as far as 536 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 16: the industry would like, but it would address us a 537 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 16: certain part of it. We've already heard from some industry 538 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 16: lobbying groups, like the Blockchain Associations that they are supportive 539 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 16: of the stable coin effort, and when I've talked to 540 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 16: people here in Washington, a lot of them have expressed 541 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 16: much more optimism that stable coin legislation is the most 542 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 16: likely thing to get through this Congress, versus more wide 543 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 16: sweeping legislation that would actually perhaps delineate what, for example, 544 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 16: the SEC would have control over versus the CFTC. That 545 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 16: has proven a lot more difficult to do. On Capitol Hill, 546 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 16: we have seen an effort get through the Financial Services 547 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 16: and Agricultural committees in the House that would delineate that 548 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 16: regulatory land, if you will, territory for those two different agencies, 549 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 16: but that has not moved forward further. And that really 550 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 16: is what would be required much more sweepingly to provide 551 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 16: clarity for the industry. And in the meantime, of course, 552 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 16: is you all probably know well based on your crypto 553 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 16: conversations here on Bloomberg Technology, the industry really sees that 554 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,719 Speaker 16: at this point it's regulation buy horsemen, and it may 555 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 16: stay that way. Intel Congress actually moves forward more substantially. 556 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 3: Katie Lyon's just so thorough with the analysis and getting 557 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 3: us up to speed. We thank you so much over 558 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 3: there in Washington. Meanwhile, well, let's just talk about the 559 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 3: SEC a little bit more. It's blocked third party messaging 560 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 3: apps and texts from employees work mobile phones. Now it's 561 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 3: bringing its own practices closer to the standards it's enforcing 562 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 3: for the industry, and that includes what'sapp and I Message. Now, 563 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 3: the SEC says it will quote lower risk that their systems. 564 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 6: Could be compromised and enhance record keeping. Interesting one head. 565 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, let's get to another story out of Europe. 566 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 4: The CEO of Atos, which has been struggling with tumbling 567 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 4: shares and a wall of debt, is confident that the 568 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 4: French IT company will be say CEO Paul Seller, spoke 569 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 4: in an exclusive interview with Bloomberg's Caroline Connen in Paris. 570 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 5: Have listened to this. 571 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 13: We are actually working with our creditors, both our banks 572 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 13: and our bondholders for a solution to our high level 573 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 13: of debt, and the maturities are coming due in the 574 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 13: next eighteen months and the dialogue is very very positive. 575 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 13: We're operating under the consoliation, as you have mentioned, is 576 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 13: like a mediator is helping through those discussions, and I 577 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 13: do believe that everybody is aligned. In fact, we recently 578 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 13: had secured some liquidity from those same bondholders and banks, 579 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 13: again an indication. 580 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 2: That everybody is really aligned to find a solution. 581 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 14: So what else could be part of the proposal apart 582 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 14: from this group of bondholders. Are we going to see, 583 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 14: for example, some asset disposal announced before the end of 584 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 14: next week. Is that a possibility or do you totally 585 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 14: exclude this. 586 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 13: I think what we have presented is a comprehensive plan 587 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,959 Speaker 13: that included all the assets of ATOS. Now we're going 588 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 13: to have to see what proposals are going to come through. 589 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 13: Some of them will just keep the whole the whole 590 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 13: of the company together. One of those proposal is likely 591 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 13: to come from one point, one of our largest shareholders, 592 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 13: and others will come in from our bondholders who seem 593 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 13: to also be interested in keeping the whole company. But 594 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 13: we can't just really ago any potential proposal that may 595 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 13: come in and may entail a different mix of ideas 596 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 13: such as asset disposal or not. 597 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 14: Will this whole pen be able to save Atos? 598 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 13: Actually ATOS is a great company. As I mentioned to you, 599 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 13: it's just really is going to be you know, I 600 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 13: do believe that will come up with a plan and 601 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 13: the company will succeed long term, So we'll be saved. 602 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 8: It will be saved. 603 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 6: Carolyn Conan speaking with the h CEO called Sally. 604 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 3: Now coming up, we're going to be joined my Meno 605 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 3: Ventures partner Matt Murphy on the firm's new playbook for 606 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 3: AI applications. 607 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 13: Or on that. 608 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 6: Next, this is Blue Big Technology. 609 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 3: Now it's today's VC Spotlight, and we're going to be 610 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 3: taking a look at some of the winning strategies the 611 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 3: formulas being used by early AI native enterprise companies, because 612 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 3: that's the focus of Meno ventures latest AI paybook. 613 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 6: Here to discuss. This is Meno Ventures partner Matt Murphy, 614 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 6: and you've put out. 615 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 3: Basically, there's seven Golden rules for generative AI apps. So 616 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 3: this isn't the foundational models, but this is the applications 617 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 3: which can be built upon these models that can be 618 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 3: then used cross industry or across sales or marketing. What 619 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 3: have you learned about the similarities some of these breakout 620 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 3: successes we've already seen. 621 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 17: Sure, yeah, so I think basically this is the fastest 622 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 17: innovation cycle we've seen across many like mobile, cloud, et cetera. 623 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 17: And so what really has to happen to create the 624 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 17: foundation for application innovators to move as quickly as they 625 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 17: want to as you need the infrastructure side to be 626 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 17: built out. So you've got kind of the brain, the 627 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 17: heart and soul and something like anthropic and then a 628 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 17: lot of surrounding tooling to get data into the model, 629 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 17: such as an unstructured or a clean lab or pine 630 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 17: cone which kind of help you curate and get data 631 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 17: into the model. So that kind of is well underway, 632 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 17: and we feel like we're at a kind of tipping 633 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 17: point where the infrastructure stack is pretty well solidified and 634 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 17: now we're really going to see a ten year innovation 635 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 17: cycle around applications that's going to move faster and faster, 636 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 17: and now that that tooling infrastructure is in place. 637 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: So what we really took a look. 638 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 17: At in this report is what are some of the 639 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 17: early breakout applications, what have they done differently? And so 640 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 17: we came up with the seven Golden rules. So for example, 641 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 17: things like having an almost infinite content loop. If you 642 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 17: think about a lot of applications, before you basically had 643 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 17: to have a designer, design creative for each potential campaign. 644 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: You would then test that, take it back, iterate. 645 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 17: The way generative AI works is it can make end 646 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 17: different campaigns and actually kind of close the loop and 647 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 17: have this constant feedback system. So one of the companies 648 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 17: that does that really well is a company called Typeface, 649 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 17: which is the former CTO of Adobe and based recreating 650 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 17: the Adobe Creative. 651 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: Cloud with generative AI. So that's one very concrete example that's. 652 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 3: Obviously one of your portfolio companies start to jump in there. 653 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 3: But what's so interesting is what sets that particular business 654 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 3: apart from others that you're pitched. I mean you also say, look, 655 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 3: you want to see within these AI apps target work 656 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 3: that is high value, high volume, or facing labor shortages. 657 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 3: So basically, where is AI going to have the biggest impact. 658 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 3: What are some of the winning formulas there? 659 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, so what you want to do? Basically, there's 660 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: two ways that an a generator model can work. 661 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 17: It can work as a kind of an assistant, call 662 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 17: that a copilot, where it makes a worker smarter, better, 663 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 17: more efficient at their job. And then sometimes it'll actually 664 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 17: be able to replace that job and allow a work 665 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 17: to do something else, like a higher value, higher skilled activity. 666 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 17: Things like customer service are a great example of that, 667 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,439 Speaker 17: and you kind of look for these pattern based, high 668 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 17: volume workflows. On the other end of the spectrum, there 669 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 17: are these high value, lower maybe amount of people workflows 670 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 17: like let's say a paralegal who spends all this time 671 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 17: digging through documents and matching terms and things like that, 672 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 17: when they could really do the analytic work if a 673 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,919 Speaker 17: system built that for them. So that's kind of what's 674 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 17: being reimagined here with general AI is how do you 675 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 17: kind of take the bulk work and allow workers to 676 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 17: do more higher value add activities. 677 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 4: On top of that, Matt, I'd like to discuss how 678 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 4: backward or forward looking your report is and how crowded 679 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 4: the field of activity is in this space, I would 680 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 4: say that. Caroline and I talk about companies and platforms 681 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 4: targeting developers and apps quite regularly, an example being Salesforce. 682 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 5: And the app Exchange. 683 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 4: Right, they have brought in generative AI layer to their 684 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 4: existing products. 685 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 5: Just how busy is it right now in what you 686 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 5: see happening? 687 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's extremely busy, right. 688 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 17: I mean so if you look even anecdotally at our 689 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 17: portfolio over fifty companies early half of last year, maybe 690 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 17: twenty percent of companies were doing something with the generative AI. 691 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 17: Now it's pushing up against one hundred percent, and I 692 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 17: think that's a good proxy for what's going on in 693 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 17: the market. If you're an existing software company, it's not 694 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 17: doing something with generative AI, you're falling behind. 695 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: So that's one wave. But frankly, the. 696 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 17: Wave that we're most excited about is people kind of 697 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 17: rebuilding from the get go now with new capabilities of 698 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 17: generative AI, like a couple that I mentioned, Because the 699 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 17: most creative and innovative way to disrupt applications is to 700 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 17: kind of start with a founding team that has the 701 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 17: DNA around AI and thinks about how to build the 702 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 17: application from the bottoms up. 703 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: That way, whenever you bolt something on later. 704 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 17: It's beneficial, it's additive, it's going to be great for 705 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 17: Salesforce and other companies. But when a new company comes 706 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 17: in and says, hey, you could just this application shouldn't 707 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 17: even exist without generative AI. 708 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: I can give you an example if you'd like. 709 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 17: For example, take a company like Elios, which is doing 710 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 17: kind of a generative AI for a therapist conversation, so 711 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 17: you can listen to the conversation, use your own model 712 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 17: to kind of parse that and give doctor notes as 713 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 17: well as a potential diagnosis, and use generat AI to 714 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 17: package that up and curate the content that comes. 715 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 4: Out of that. 716 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 17: These are kind of capabilities that a model was never 717 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 17: able to process before, nor synthesize it down as something 718 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 17: as precise and important as a diagnosis. 719 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 4: Matt, one of your bullets is build where incumbents aren't, can't, 720 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 4: or won't. But you know, in the history of Silicon 721 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 4: Valley often something gets built because a founder realizes there's 722 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 4: a problem because they were at another tech company where 723 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 4: they were frustrated by something. Do you have any sense 724 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 4: that the end markets actually know what their use cases 725 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 4: are yet how they're supposed to be using generative AI 726 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 4: in whatever it is the business does well. 727 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 17: I think that's kind of my point is, like, I 728 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 17: think everyone knows that generative AI is a great writer. 729 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 17: It can take all the content you have, synthesize it 730 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 17: down and help people get through it really quickly. If 731 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 17: you've got a graph or a set of output, you 732 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 17: can distill all that down and it makes it so 733 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 17: much more effective for the user to consume the output. 734 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 1: Of your application. But that's kind of table stakes. 735 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 17: The things that again we're most interested in is how 736 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 17: are you using that technology to the make the application 737 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 17: completely different than what the incumbent has done and in 738 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 17: the past. 739 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: And that's really the opportunity lies here. 740 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,959 Speaker 17: Seeing a bunch of examples of that in the legal 741 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 17: vertical that's a fast mower out of the gate and 742 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 17: areas like that. I already mentioned customer service. So it's 743 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 17: just different when you say let's change the entire workflow 744 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 17: versus bolt on the capability after. 745 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:57,280 Speaker 4: The fact Menlovench has partner Matt Murphy. Thank you very much, Caroline. 746 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's have a quick check on talking to he 747 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 3: first up to Shiba is seeking to cut five thousand jobs, 748 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 3: or roughly ten percent of its head count in Japan. 749 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 6: That's what the NIK is currently reporting now. The move could. 750 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 3: Initiate one hu Jupan's biggest rounds of staff reductions this 751 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 3: year in a country that has some of the world's 752 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 3: strictest worker protection laws. Plus, Apple is wearing a possibility 753 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 3: of making some of its gadgets in Indonesia now, the 754 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 3: iPhone maker has been exploring production bases beyond its longtime 755 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 3: stronghold of China. Of course, that to minimize geopolitical risks 756 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 3: as tensions they rise between the world's two biggest superpowers. 757 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 6: And business software start up Rippling. 758 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 3: Well, it's a reporter that's in talks to raise new 759 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 3: funding and evaluation between thirteen and fourteen billion dollars and 760 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 3: the company we understand is planning to raise about five 761 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 3: hundred million in a deal. According to sources, the talks 762 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 3: with investors are ongoing, with plans to finalize terms within 763 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 3: a few weeks. It might be said that Rippling so 764 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 3: far has denied some of those reports. So the Bloomberg 765 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 3: NEF Summit, it's in full swing here in New York, 766 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 3: convenient leaders and energy, industry, transport, technology, finance, and government 767 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 3: to discuss just how to shape a cleaner and more 768 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 3: competitive future. I'm pleased to say we're speaking to a 769 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 3: person who's doing just that. Cuna, your CEO, Spante Fresh 770 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 3: Office panel from the summit and Claude. What's so interesting 771 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 3: is you are providing the technology, the filters, the ability 772 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 3: for companies such as say manufacturing makers to carbon capture. 773 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 8: How well. 774 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,320 Speaker 18: We kind of focus on a problem that we stated 775 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 18: the one hundred and thirty five years ago by fellow 776 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 18: called Venti Ernius, and we took the name Vante similar 777 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 18: to Tesla Fuish on the EV. So we're unicorn and 778 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 18: focusing on carbon management by providing solution to avoid SEE 779 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 18: two going out in the atmosphere in the first place, 780 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 18: industrial factory, cement pulp on paper plants, or even removing 781 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 18: the SU two from the atmosphere that's sorry above the ground. 782 00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 18: So we are working in that case with the company 783 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 18: called clim Works and we provide the filters inside the 784 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 18: contactor that they have to collect the C two from 785 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 18: the atmosphere. 786 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 3: You built a lot of partnerships, You're working with a 787 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 3: lot of companies and emitter is how long a timeframe 788 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 3: is it to build such you know, to manufacture to 789 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 3: actually get this going when you know that one of 790 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 3: your clients wants indeed. 791 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 18: Action this so for a legacy is that we're sixteen 792 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 18: years in research, in developing the technology, the product, product, 793 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 18: proving out in the market, and raising all these partnership 794 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 18: to get there. We've raised five hundred million dollars to 795 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 18: get to the point where we are, and we're currently 796 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 18: building a factory to make the filters that we'll be 797 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 18: able to equip the equivalent of ten project of a 798 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 18: million ton. The world needs to get to ten thousand 799 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 18: plant of a million ton in the next thirty years. 800 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 2: Wow. 801 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 18: So this is factory number one for us, and we're 802 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 18: almost there in terms of building up the capacity to 803 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 18: deliver projects. So now when you look at the specific 804 00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 18: project with one a meter, normally it takes about almost 805 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 18: two years of discussions studies to evaluate how we're going 806 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 18: to integrate the capture project into let's say a cement 807 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 18: factory or a pulp and paper plant, and then it 808 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 18: takes two years to construct. So these projects are to 809 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 18: take a certain amount of time to deploy, and imagine, 810 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 18: you know, we need to deploy at the rate of 811 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 18: two capture plant every week for the next thirty. 812 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 4: Years clause your twenty twenty two Series E three hundred 813 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 4: and eighty million dollars led by Chevron's venture arm I 814 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 4: remember twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, there was a 815 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 4: lot of energy, pardon the expression behind your industry and 816 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 4: financial backing. Had things slowed down in terms of corporate 817 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 4: interest and public commitment to what you're trying to do, well, 818 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 4: you have? 819 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 18: Your question is two fold one. The corporate commitment has 820 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 18: been there and it's growing as well. I think the 821 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 18: support we got from the audio gas industry and primarily 822 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:58,360 Speaker 18: led by Chevron, is instrumental in us being here today 823 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 18: be able to talk about about management. But you know 824 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,240 Speaker 18: what's missing now to grow the business at the scale 825 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,760 Speaker 18: that needs to be done is we need the private 826 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 18: equity infrastructure funds to come to play, and so far 827 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 18: they never come to the value of debt of early 828 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 18: start startup companies and help them to deploy. So this 829 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 18: is something that we're working on these days to bring 830 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 18: the two together because it's the sum of the financial 831 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 18: sector plus the corporate that will make this thing work. Now, 832 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 18: from a consumer point of view or the public acceptance, 833 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,800 Speaker 18: I think that it's a slow process. And the analogy 834 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 18: I can give you is we've been throwing see you 835 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,760 Speaker 18: two in the atmosphere freely for the last one hundred 836 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 18: years with no consequences. In the minds of people, the 837 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 18: analogy is the waste management. At the same time you 838 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 18: know you're rubbish at home. The waste management somebody collects 839 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,760 Speaker 18: and transport and recycle and store your rubbish. That's because 840 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,399 Speaker 18: it smells and you can see it. You cannot see 841 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,359 Speaker 18: and smell Coe two. So it's very difficult for people 842 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 18: to associate that the common management industry needs to exist. 843 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 18: And the price of collecting your rubbish is about one 844 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,320 Speaker 18: hundred and fifty dollars per per ton of SE two equivalent. 845 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,919 Speaker 6: So Claude, we will share more time.
