And to be a troubleshooter is 158 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 6: to be expansive. And to be expansive you can't be 159 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 6: frustrated and angry.

You know, 167 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 6: the app doesn't load correctly, the little charge light doesn't 168 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 6: come on. Yeah, the plug doesn't work. The latch doesn't work, 169 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 6: something closes, something's broken, the app closes that you get 170 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 6: a weird cryptic timeout bug, you know, all kinds of thing. 171 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,239 Speaker 6: I'm the last Tumbler user on Earth. But Tumblr changed 172 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 6: their HTML editor a few years ago, about a year ago, 173 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 6: and I only just figured out that the reason I 174 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 6: can't type in it unless I flip it to HTML 175 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 6: MO to write raw HTML is that the first character 176 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 6: you enter into it has to have style data. It 177 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 6: has to be like bold or italic, or have a 178 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 6: font size associated with it. So you have to copy 179 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 6: it out of an app that has style data, paste 180 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 6: it in and then and I don't know why, right, 181 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 6: but like now I can reliably type in the Tumblr compositor. 182 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 6: And that's a troubleshooting thing. Yeah, And we all do 183 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 6: this all day long with everything we use. And it's 184 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 6: not just gnarly Linux shit. It's like my LG not 185 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 6: electric stovetop, my induction stovetop. 186 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: Exactly like the beginning of my book Why Everything Stopped Working, 187 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,599 Speaker 2: coming out next year. It's I think I count to 188 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty one within the space of a 189 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 2: day of just shit that went wrong. Aha, Things like 190 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: I went on Reddit to try and look at someone, 191 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: but when I went to click it, the entire things 192 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: stopped responding to touch sure, or the many, the many 193 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 2: times that just my email just decides to reset itself 194 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: or Google Calendars lock me out of sorry, not just 195 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: gone like, yeah, I might look in again. And the 196 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: funniest one, by the way, I don't know any has 197 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: this happened to you? Have you logged into Google Calendar 198 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: as in like and it said log in place, you 199 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: look in and then you go to it and it 200 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: looks you out again. 201 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: Yes, I had contysfunction instantly. Well, you don't use Google. 202 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 6: I know, I use g kel because I have to 203 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 6: share a calendar with a bunch of heterogeny environments. But 204 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 6: the point being that everyone's a troubleshooter all the time. Yeah, 205 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 6: And if you're angry and frustrated and you're just like, 206 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 6: you know you've got the incipient aneurysm throbbing in your temple. Yeah, 207 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 6: and you know your fists are clenched and you're you've 208 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 6: got the you know, black halo contracting around your vision. 209 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 6: You can't fix stuff, Yeah, you need to be able 210 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 6: to kind of step back, Like, have you ever been 211 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 6: trying to cook something with a couple of friends. 212 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 3: Do you cook? Yes? Yes, So you're cooking. 213 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 6: Something with say a friend, and it's not quite gelling, 214 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 6: you know, maybe literally it's not gelling. Something's not right, 215 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 6: and you just like if you're kind of bopping around 216 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 6: the kitchen there's good music, you go taste this, What 217 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 6: does it need? 218 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, I know, maybe try a little salt. Yeah, right. 219 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 6: But like if you're in a pan and you've got 220 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 6: ten people traveling what have you, You're trying to cook and 221 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 6: you're like, how do I get this to work? You're frustrated, 222 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 6: you're angry, it's hard to think creatively. So his point 223 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 6: is that beautiful things make you happy, and when you're happy, 224 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 6: you're a better troubleshooter. And so for things to work well, 225 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 6: they have to be beautiful. 226 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: I love that because I lit my eyes immediately as 227 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 2: you said that.

Yes, 506 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 6: you know, as a like a person who would throw 507 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 6: all the guns into the sea or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, 508 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 6: I still think making geometry illegal is dumb. 509 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: And also yeah, at that point you can't build things, Yeah, 510 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 2: you can't three D print at all. 511 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 6: And also impractical, right, because like what are you actually 512 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 6: going to do because there are so many ways to 513 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 6: express a file that will be that shape because STLs 514 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 6: can express logic, right, I think it'd be parametric. So 515 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 6: you can, like, for example, you can have a shape 516 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 6: file for a key, like a door key, and there 517 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 6: are variables you can set in the shape file for 518 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 6: where you want the teeth and how deep they're going 519 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 6: to go. So it's it's a it is a programmable 520 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 6: piece of descriptive code. And so there are like an 521 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 6: infinitude of ways you could write a program in the 522 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 6: STL description language that would that would emit the illegal geometry. 523 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 6: So how do you police the illegal geometry? 524 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 3: You know? 525 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 6: It just it just feels like if it's it's one 526 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 6: thing to make a law that says something is illegal, 527 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 6: it's another thing to make a law. And even if 528 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 6: that thing is bad and you want to extinguish it, 529 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 6: but if you have no way to administer that law, 530 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 6: you are setting yourself up either for heartbreak or for 531 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 6: something really bad where you just run around and you 532 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 6: ques everyone having broken the law, because no one can 533 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 6: ever tell who's broken the law and who hasn't. Like, 534 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 6: administerability is the single most important factor in policy design because. 535 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 3: And just administability means being able to do can you 536 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 3: administer it? Can you figure out whether someone's violated it? Right? 537 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 6: So to bring this to the internet, are there a 538 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 6: lot of people who are very angry and I think 539 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 6: rightfully so about harassment and hate speech on the platform. 540 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 6: But a hate speech regime is very hard to police 541 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 6: because you have a common definition of hate speech. You 542 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 6: have to evaluate whether a given piece of speech rises 543 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 6: to the definition. You have to make a technical determination 544 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 6: about whether the firm took reasonable technical steps to address 545 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 6: the hate speech. And you know, this is an offense 546 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 6: that occurs on the platform one hundred times a minute, 547 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 6: but it's a question that takes five years to adjudicate. 548 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 6: So this it's just not a good You know, there 549 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 6: are other fact intensive regimes in law, like like probate law, right, 550 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 6: but it's fine because the average person dies one or 551 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 6: fewer times, and so the fact that it takes a 552 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 6: minute to figure out what to do when they die 553 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 6: not a big deal. 554 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 3: But I'm build different. You never say, but I'm going 555 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 3: to die three times. 556 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 6: But you know, you could imagine another regime where like 557 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 6: if you I don't know, if you're a maskeet on user, 558 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 6: but in no so in mastet on, there's this feature. 559 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 6: It's a beautiful piece of design where if you want 560 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 6: to go from one masted on server to another, because 561 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 6: you can access mast it on from a lot of 562 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 6: different services run by lots of different people, you click 563 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 6: a link and it exports all of your data about 564 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 6: who you were following and who is following you, and 565 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 6: then you click another link on the news server and 566 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 6: it imports it and then just all that stuff moves over. 567 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 6: So we could say to Elon Musk, like, yeah, we're 568 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 6: still going to have some standards for a hate speech 569 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 6: and whatever, or we're going to worry about whether your 570 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 6: your chatbot is shitting out child pornography. But at the 571 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 6: same time, what we're going to do is create is 572 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 6: create a mandate that you give people the data they 573 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 6: need that if they leave Twitter and go to another server, 574 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 6: they can still talk to the people they left behind 575 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 6: on Twitter. Because that way, if you don't like the 576 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 6: way you're being treated on Twitter, you can leave one 577 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 6: second later. And then this is very easy to administer 578 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 6: because say you know you're running the server and I 579 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,239 Speaker 6: leave the server and I don't get my file from you. 580 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 6: I go to the regulator, and the regulator comes to 581 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 6: you and says, look, I know you told me that 582 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 6: you gave Corey his file. He says, you didn't give 583 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 6: it to him. I don't care who's right who's wrong. 584 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 6: Give it to me and I'll give it to him right, 585 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 6: And then you just resolve the whole question. So you 586 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 6: could have like one person administering this policy for a 587 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 6: billion users, and then they could all just leave the 588 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 6: platforms where they're being abused without having to pay a 589 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 6: high switching cost. By exiting a community that means something 590 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 6: to them, customers or audience members or family members or 591 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 6: people are the same way disease as them that they're 592 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 6: in a support group with, they could continue to talk 593 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 6: with those people. 594 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 3: Yeah. 595 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 6: So this is a very administrable remedy. It's much more streamlined. 596 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 6: It actually solves a great deal of the problem. It's 597 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 6: not as good as eliminating hate speech. But I don't 598 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 6: think you can. 599 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 2: I just I feel like with some of these platforms, 600 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 2: I'm not talking about Blue Scyt, but the original the 601 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 2: original Twitter problems of like slurs, for example, and it's 602 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 2: like you can't unilaterally ban them. Sure, other than the 603 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 2: fact you could kind of lean that way, I feel 604 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 2: like you could be like you will have to have 605 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: a little more nuanced than that. You will have to 606 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 2: but I feel like starting from there and working back, 607 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll push back on this is just they 608 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: usually go the other way. It's like, well, let people do, 609 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: everything will work out later. I just feel like it's 610 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 2: just a half fss attitude. I run the better offline 611 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 2: reddit with a dread hand. Yeah in the sense, but 612 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: I think the beautiful but the smaller communities you could 613 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 2: do that. 614 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 3: With a large social network you can't. 615 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 6: And you understand the context, right, like the understanding the 616 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,959 Speaker 6: difference between and then I called him this slur and 617 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 6: made him really sad. Ha ha ha, and uh then 618 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 6: I got called the slur and I was sad, please 619 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 6: come and give me comfort. Requires a lot of context knowledge, 620 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 6: and you know, oftentimes the people using the slurs are 621 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 6: like that's their hobby and they're really good at, you know, 622 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 6: working the ref and so it's much more common that 623 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 6: they're figuring out how to use the slur in a 624 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 6: way that doesn't get them kicked off and getting the 625 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 6: people they're using the slur agains kicked off for complaining 626 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 6: about it. 627 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the classic one being like reporting people for 628 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 2: death threats, but it's it's friends being like I'm gonna 629 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: kill you man. That's not the classic. Like, I don't 630 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 2: know how social networks still fall for this shit, but 631 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 2: it's like they will be the the people doing lighthearted 632 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 2: stuff that get banned, and then the people with the 633 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: fourteen words and saying eighty eight gets get to keep around. 634 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 3: I'm boasted, I really. 635 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 2: I am excited to see though, how the world reacts 636 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 2: to Twitter becoming the c SAM generator, because if kiss 637 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 2: Starmer fucking bans X, that'd be the funniest thing I've 638 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 2: seen in my fucking He won't do it. 639 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 3: It doesn't have a spine. 640 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 4: Have you been seeing this came up on my V 641 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 4: today that the right and the left in the UK 642 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 4: having dueling protests about who hates Kiers Starmer more. 643 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 3: Oh?

But actually the only thing that labor 684 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 2: does reliably is produced people that are less popular than 685 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: the conservative because it's just like, well the Conservatives, we'll 686 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 2: give a live in and they're like, right, historic fumble, 687 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 2: historic football every fucking when you watch like Gordon Brown 688 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 2: and you're like, god, I miss him, you know things. 689 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 4: My boy Corbyn win in Oh yeah. 690 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 6: He is also screwing up very badly.

The Greens are circling. 694 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 6: So after World War Two there was a there was 695 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 6: a reboot of British politics. The Liberal Party collapsed, so 696 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 6: a party that had been around forever, the Whigs, just 697 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 6: ceased to exist. Labor came into existence. That was happening 698 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 6: to the Conservatives as of the last election, and the 699 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 6: Reform Party we're about to basically scoop up all the 700 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 6: Conservative voters who didn't like the way that the party 701 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 6: was being run. But it looks like it's also happening 702 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 6: to Labor. Yeah, and there is there are two potential 703 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 6: places where the left is going to go. The Greens 704 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 6: have not been great historically. They've had a lot of 705 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 6: bad policies. They were into homeopathy for a while whatever. 706 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 6: But they have got a terrific new leader, Zak Polanski, 707 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 6: who is basically young, charismatic Corbin interesting, and Corbin himself is. 708 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 3: Not charismatic Crown and. 709 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 6: Just very bad at organizing, and Polanski's an organizer. I'm 710 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 6: very bullish on the British Greens. 711 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: That'd be nice. I mean, we did lose Scott Galloway. Sorry, 712 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 2: we've got they sent Scott Galloway there. I mean like 713 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 2: they sent Scott Galloway to England. I thought or maybe 714 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 2: he moved from England to Florida. I can't remember which 715 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 2: direction they sent that piece to Florida. Yeah, that's okay. 716 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 2: By the way, just want to just a completely blunt statement, 717 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: if you move from England to Florida, they should put 718 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 2: you on the list. 719 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 3: I know what you are. 720 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, as a Floridian, we have a very long tradition 721 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: of accepting the garbage of the world and making it 722 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: our own. 723 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 2: It's like the Staten Island to Florida thing, except it's 724 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 2: not just because you're old and hate everyone. It's because 725 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 2: you're horny and a new way they haven't quite identified. 726 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're welcome. Check that out. 727 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, the male loneliness crisis is solved in Palm Beach, Florida, 728 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 2: isn't it. 729 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: No, it's Ebor City, is it. 730 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 3: What's that? 731 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: Because even Tampa and has a place they need to 732 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: make mistakes. 733 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 3: I thought that that was just Tampa. 734 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: Now even Tampa has the place to go to go 735 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: make life errors. Yeah, and that is Ebor City. 736 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 3: God. 737 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm And as we look into this year, I 738 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 2: gotta admit I realized things are quite bad and things 739 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 2: are going to get a lot more chaotic. But I 740 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 2: think the chaos is necessary. Coming out of this week. 741 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 2: All I can feel in my gut is like destruction 742 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 2: from this show. Not literally, but this feels like a 743 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 2: reckoning of Like, Corey, you'll have some good historical knowledge 744 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,280 Speaker 2: of like twenty years of hubris in the tech industry, 745 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 2: of moving away from we made a thing that people 746 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 2: could use towards Actually, random question, Corey, you ever read 747 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 2: the case for the Startup by Ben Horwitz? It was 748 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 2: a PC roade actually before software is eating the world, 749 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: Horrowitz even it was basically saying the worst thing hell 750 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 2: was having a startup that was not the leader in 751 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 2: the market. 752 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 3: I know this. I've not read the paper, but I've 753 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 3: heard it described. 754 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 2: It's just it's a it's a guy one of the 755 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 2: Horowitz of Andres and Horowitz early on twenty ten, I think, 756 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 2: and I think ever since then, we have been leading 757 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 2: to this point where you chase out the companies that 758 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 2: are like, Okay, we'll build something cool and we'll compete 759 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 2: in a market, and you'll chase them out in favor 760 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 2: of companies like we will win the market, even if 761 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 2: it means changing the market materially, even if it means 762 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 2: using means such as and to monopolistic tendencies, or just 763 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 2: race to the bottom, or using funding to chase people 764 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 2: out uber to your point ed, and I think what 765 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 2: we're seeing this CEES is what happens when you just 766 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 2: chase growth. Because the thing about all these companies is, yeah, 767 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 2: you can judge them, and you should judge them, and 768 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 2: they fucking suck. And I think all of these LLM 769 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 2: rappers deserve gone the trash along with their founders. But 770 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 2: at the same time, it's like scorpion the frog. It's 771 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 2: when you incentivize bringing things to a show that do 772 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 2: not exist, when you give them awards, when you write 773 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 2: them up and act like they're real year after year, 774 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 2: regardless of whether the fucking thing actually exists. Of course 775 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,439 Speaker 2: you're going to get a CES predominantly made of things 776 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 2: that don't and that things that exist only to get 777 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 2: invested in from the normally people who came here like 778 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 2: Chloe Redgcliff to the extremely technical people like Corey. It's 779 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 2: the same thing of like, this is just a company 780 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 2: that's here to jingle the keys in front of the 781 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 2: investors or the not even the buyers, just investors invest 782 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 2: in me or in front of the press. And I 783 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 2: think in this next year, we're going to see what 784 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 2: happens when you do that everywhere, and we're going to 785 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 2: see the collapse of these AI startups that never had 786 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 2: a point and we're never built for anything other than 787 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 2: selling to someone else or dumping onto the public markets. 788 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 3: Except none of them can chase that, all the smart 789 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 3: people in favor of people you can't count. 790 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 6: So I think if you want to identify something over 791 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 6: twenty years that's monotonically increased, it's the way that it 792 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 6: comments are able to block new market entry. So you know, historically, 793 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 6: if you're going to make something new, you would make 794 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 6: it work with the thing that already existed. You know, 795 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 6: canonical example, like when we opened up AT and T 796 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 6: after the breakup in nineteen eighty two, the modem just 797 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 6: plugged into their shit, right. You didn't need to make 798 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 6: a phone network, You just needed to make a modem, right, 799 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,760 Speaker 6: and that everything exploded and that happened, right. It's sometimes 800 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 6: called permissionless innovation. Sometimes it's called disruption. Both of those 801 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 6: terms have got into bad odor. But you know this 802 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 6: idea that you don't create a market denovo, you raid 803 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 6: the high margin lines of sclerotic you know, legacy companies 804 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 6: that are dominating the market. And you you, you know, 805 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 6: this is what Jeff Bezos said to the publishers when 806 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 6: he launched Amazon. Infamously, he went to a boardroom full 807 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 6: of publishers and he said, your margin is my opportunity, right, 808 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 6: so you take those high margins, you make them your opportunity. 809 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 6: And so when AT and T gets broken up and 810 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 6: they lose the ability to control what you plug into 811 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,800 Speaker 6: the phone jack, we see modems, we see an explosion 812 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 6: of answering machines PBX. It's just all this stuff that 813 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 6: is just like built layered on top of the existing stuff. 814 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 6: But you can't do that anymore, you know. In Facebook launch, 815 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 6: they had this problem that everyone who could have used 816 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 6: Facebook had a MySpace account, and so he gave you know, 817 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 6: Zuck gave everyone who had a MySpace account a bot 818 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 6: that you fed your MySpace credentials to and it would 819 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 6: go to MySpace several times a day and impersonate you, 820 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 6: scrape everything waiting for you and put it into your 821 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 6: Facebook feed.

It's not technically challenging, and it's 831 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,759 Speaker 6: not hard to think of cool things to do, so 832 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 6: you know. Twenty twenty four, there was a startup from 833 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 6: two teenagers called og app say almost the same thing. 834 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 6: You gave it your Insta credentials. It logged in as you, 835 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 6: It grabbed everything Insta had waiting for you. It discarded 836 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 6: all the suggestions, all the ads, all the recommendations, all 837 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 6: the boosted content, and all the clickbait, and showed you 838 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 6: things from people you followed from in reverse chronological order. 839 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 6: Right and oh the Facebook I want Yeah, And that 840 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 6: day it hit the top ten of both app markets 841 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 6: and that night met us at a takedown notice to 842 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 6: Apple and Google and they removed it. 843 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 3: Nice, and that's that's they won't remove x though. Sure no, 844 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 3: but that's no. 845 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 6: But there's honor among thieves exactly, yeah, yeah, no, No, 846 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 6: these guys are not really competitors they all sat behind 847 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:56,760 Speaker 6: Donald Trump. 848 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 2: On the dayas But that's the thing though, the egregious 849 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 2: of that is large language models, hear me out. So 850 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 2: none of these companies can be run on cash flow 851 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,399 Speaker 2: doing the bit. But you can't compete with open AI. 852 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 2: You can't compete with Anthropic. You can't because the train 853 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 2: these models requires that at best, millions and millions and 854 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,359 Speaker 2: millions and millions of dollars and access to infrastructure at 855 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 2: a scale. What I mean, if you want to compete 856 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 2: with them, you need hundreds of millions of dollars, and 857 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 2: you need the talent a big capital mote, well the 858 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 2: capital mote, but also the talent mode sure, and the 859 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:31,399 Speaker 2: RSU mode. 860 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 3: They can just offer stock. So it's impossible to enter there. 861 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 2: But even as an AI startup, you can't compete with 862 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 2: the venture capital industry. 863 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,280 Speaker 3: There is no scrappy AI startup. 864 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 2: Sure you can say, oh, well we've got you know, 865 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 2: we scrape by with how much hundreds of thousands of dollars. 866 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 3: I think you're right. 867 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 6: I think AI has got formal characteristics that make it 868 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 6: attractive to VC, and one of them is that it 869 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 6: looks like it tends towards a winner. Take all market, 870 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 6: which is the thing VC's very obviously loved. This is, 871 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 6: you know, zero to one, all of those all the 872 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 6: VC nonsense. 873 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 3: I think. 874 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 6: The other one is that the jobs that they think 875 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 6: AI will take our capital p professional jobs in the 876 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,919 Speaker 6: sense that a professional is someone, yeah, a professional, someone 877 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 6: who's bound to a code of ethics that not only 878 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 6: permits them but requires them to tell their boss to 879 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 6: fuck off if their boss asks them to do something 880 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 6: that's not moral. And so you have this whole class 881 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 6: of people teachers, nurses, rad techs, you know whatever, who 882 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 6: are like obliged to say fuck off to their bosses. 883 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 6: And no wonder they're having such an easy time selling 884 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 6: this otherwise vaporous technology because bosses have been furiously fantasizing 885 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 6: about firing everyone who's allowed to tell them to fuck 886 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 6: off since the idea of a profession emerged. And so, 887 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 6: you know, you have all these different formal characteristics. The 888 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 6: winner take all dynamic, we fire all the people who 889 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 6: get to tell us to fuck off dynamic, you know, 890 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,800 Speaker 6: like it's very exciting. 891 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: And the fight to maintain the codes of ethics. It 892 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: also often t ching students that this is why I 893 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: demand this of them, and why they should demand it 894 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: for themselves may often be the first time they've ever 895 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 1: heard for the concept of a code of ethics, which 896 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: is depressing, but also it warms my heart for I 897 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: get to be the person who teaches you to care 898 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: about yourself. 899 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 2: The thing is, though, I also think there's something quite simple, 900 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,919 Speaker 2: which is all of that's true, and none of these 901 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 2: people know what their people actually do, like the people 902 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 2: they want to the people they want to fire, they 903 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 2: truly do not understand what it is they do.

That didn't work. 908 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 2: But you know we're going to say we're AI first. 909 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 2: What does that mean?

I think 1002 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 2: the venture capital era is coming to an end. I'm 1003 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 2: not saying VC will go away, but I don't think 1004 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 2: people add a six things. 1005 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,360 Speaker 4: He just raised their biggest fun and they get their return. 1006 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,240 Speaker 4: They're gonna make the tech industry multiples larger. 1007 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,360 Speaker 2: The funniest thing I saw though, was someone posting about, Wow, 1008 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 2: look how great Andrew says.

They just go and 1019 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,760 Speaker 2: or at a later round or Yeah, they will always 1020 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,800 Speaker 2: know that they can get in there and that company 1021 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 2: will help. 1022 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 4: That's a big thing of theirs is that you know, 1023 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 4: if you fuck up and you don't get in on 1024 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:17,799 Speaker 4: the winner, then get in on the winner on the 1025 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,359 Speaker 4: next round and crowd everyone out. 1026 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1027 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,840 Speaker 2: And the thing is, though venture capitals running out of money, 1028 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 2: fifteen billion dollars go to Andresen Horowitz. 1029 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:28,839 Speaker 3: That's going to drain it from all the other people 1030 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 3: that need it. The thing is is why the fuck 1031 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,839 Speaker 3: they're going to sell these stops to Aquaman? Like what's 1032 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:34,279 Speaker 3: going on? 1033 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 6: See, I think there's so much money to be made 1034 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 6: out there if we can. 1035 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 3: Unlock the silos. 1036 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 6: Right, So, like just think about some of those fast 1037 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 6: adopted technologies in the history of the world like the VCR, right, 1038 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 6: people love home recording. We don't have VCRs anymore because 1039 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 6: it's illegal to break DRM. So it's still legal to 1040 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 6: record shows. It's just every show that arrives in your house, 1041 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 6: either rise by streaming, cable or satellite. They're all encrypted. 1042 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 6: It's against the law of break the encryption. Because of 1043 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 6: the DMCA, the recording is legal, the breaking the encryption 1044 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:02,919 Speaker 6: to do the recording isn't. 1045 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,319 Speaker 3: Who who would not like? 1046 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 6: I think you could sell every person in America a 1047 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 6: PVR for streaming, Well, just like recording. 1048 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 3: Recording the stuff you watch. 1049 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 6: So you know everyone's like, oh, I hate streaming because 1050 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 6: they take away the shows I love. You should just 1051 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 6: record them. You should just record them the way you 1052 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,800 Speaker 6: did off your television. It is legal and exactly the 1053 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 6: same way it was legal. 1054 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 3: To record it off your TV. 1055 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 2: Seeing this company called play On I worked with like 1056 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 2: fifteen years ago, so it's okay, likes I just I 1057 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,280 Speaker 2: can say that does that they seem to exist? 1058 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 3: Were they using the analog outputs? I got no idea. 1059 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 6: You're now seeing downsampling on the There's a thing called 1060 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,320 Speaker 6: selectable output control that we fought really hard in cable 1061 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,840 Speaker 6: card and lost on where they downsample the analog outputs 1062 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,359 Speaker 6: and so the analog outputs are just garbage. So what 1063 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,320 Speaker 6: you record off of it is like a postage stamp. 1064 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 6: And so you know, that was like there were the 1065 00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 6: Elgado did this for a long time. There were a 1066 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 6: bunch of companies that had that had analog stuff. There's 1067 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 6: actually a name for what they wanted to do about this. 1068 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 6: They called it plugging the analog hole, which is like 1069 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 6: the people who ride themselves and their ability to communicate 1070 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,280 Speaker 6: with the public. Coming up with we will now plug 1071 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,279 Speaker 6: everyone's analog holes was just a moment. 1072 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 3: Of just incredible ice. 1073 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, And I wrote something about it that got translated 1074 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:28,320 Speaker 6: into German. I learned my most useful German UH phrase, 1075 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,440 Speaker 6: which is plugging the analog hole in German, which is 1076 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 6: dust analogy lostoffen. And so now if I ever need, 1077 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 6: I can order tap water, I can ask if there 1078 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 6: are any hotel rooms, and I can tell you I 1079 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 6: want to plug your analog hole in German. 1080 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 3: That's which is a very common German conversation. 1081 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:44,959 Speaker 1: Clubs all the time. 1082 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 3: I just think. 1083 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:57,319 Speaker 8: That, oh my god, we're gonna and I just think 1084 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 8: entering this year I'm just I'm excited for because I 1085 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 8: live in cash. 1086 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,240 Speaker 2: But it's I will say, every day I keep seeing 1087 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 2: people increasingly more frantic about this market and about VC. 1088 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 2: And also we can't sell any AI companies. No one's 1089 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 2: buying them. They have to do these weird like deals 1090 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 2: where it's like, yeah, we're not hiring you, we're signing 1091 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,319 Speaker 2: a license and we're not going to pay all the 1092 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 2: people off. We're going to play the top brass off 1093 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,320 Speaker 2: who will then join our company the IP. 1094 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to license it. We don't really care, 1095 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 3: We're just getting the talent. Yeah, it's just acquhirer. Yes. 1096 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 3: The thing is aquahias traditionally. 1097 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm old enough to remember back in 1098 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 2: like twenty thirteen when an aquhi was you losing? 1099 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, it was like when we sort of I mean, 1100 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 6: there were a lot of startups that were effectively just 1101 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 6: like there were a lot of vcs who said, really 1102 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,400 Speaker 6: what I am as a headhunter? And I go out 1103 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 6: and I get a bunch of promising people, maybe people 1104 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 6: who are already working a big tech I give them 1105 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,160 Speaker 6: some money to build what amounts to a postgraduate project, 1106 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 6: and then they get high. You're back at either their 1107 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 6: former employer or a new employer, and they get a 1108 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 6: hiring bonus in the form of their stock being bought 1109 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,520 Speaker 6: by the company. I get a finder's fee in the 1110 00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,440 Speaker 6: forum of my stock being bought by the company. Was 1111 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 6: just the shittiest way to run an executive recruiting. 1112 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,400 Speaker 1: The thing is, the company gets the patent. 1113 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,240 Speaker 2: But the thing is, though, that's not even happening anymore 1114 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 2: because there are no patents. Yeah no, what you can't 1115 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,399 Speaker 2: patent prompt engineering. You can't patent the fuck it because 1116 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:24,120 Speaker 2: that's all it is. 1117 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 3: I haven't looked into it. 1118 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 6: So the USPTO is not issuing a ton of it's 1119 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 6: a shitty AI patents. 1120 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:34,400 Speaker 1: Also, they damaged deeply the USPTO with doge. 1121 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 3: Oh that's funny. 1122 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 2: And it's also just I don't think you can patent Yeah, 1123 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 2: I mean maybe you can try, but I haven't seen 1124 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,560 Speaker 2: people patenting prompts. 1125 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 6: Well, the USPTO has historically been very bad about granting 1126 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 6: bullshitty patents. You know, we fought and killed a patent 1127 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 6: that effectively would have allowed one company to control all podcasting. 1128 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,439 Speaker 6: So like, the reason this podcast is on the air 1129 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 6: is that we we we killed this patent. The trumpetman 1130 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,840 Speaker 6: is now moving to make it harder to get patent 1131 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 6: re examination. So if a bullshit patent issues, it's harder 1132 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 6: to challenge the patent. So I think we're going to 1133 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,919 Speaker 6: see a lot more garbagee patterns, more patent trolling. There's 1134 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 6: a town in East Texas, yeah, where they have a 1135 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 6: made judge and all of the all the patent cases 1136 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,000 Speaker 6: go there to die. There's like seven hundred companies that 1137 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 6: are headquartered in like one dusty building and it's just 1138 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 6: a bunch of mailboxes with you know, brass keys. And 1139 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,840 Speaker 6: then all the big companies that get sued by patent 1140 00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:35,319 Speaker 6: trolls try to sweeten the jury by putting money into 1141 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 6: public work. So Samsung built them a year round outdoor 1142 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,239 Speaker 6: ice skating rink in I think it's West Texas. In 1143 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,280 Speaker 6: like it's one hundred and fifteen degrees in the summer 1144 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,399 Speaker 6: and they have a year round outdoor ice skating rink 1145 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:47,279 Speaker 6: that Samsung pays for. 1146 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 3: This is like a capitalist libertarian paradise. 1147 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,840 Speaker 2: This is just like what if actually, like this is 1148 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 2: the world that the libertarians think that they could build. 1149 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 3: But you'll never beat Samsung. 1150 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 2: Samsung. Samsung will fuck thank you what big time? All right, 1151 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 2: I think we're gonna wrap this up. It has been 1152 00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 2: such a wonderful show. It's been fun, great enjoyed having 1153 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,799 Speaker 2: all of you here.
