00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,840
live from plan lab in austin texas this is stacker news live

2
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:27,800
hello ladies and gentlemen welcome back to another exciting episode of stacker news live

3
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,640
Yeah, Keon. How was your week?

4
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,780
Hello. My week was good. I don't remember anything from it.

5
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:39,300
It was a short week, wasn't it?

6
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,340
Did it feel like a short week? Yeah, because of the winter storm.

7
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,040
Yeah, I guess so. Maybe cold makes time travel different.

8
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,940
I don't know. Tuesday felt like three days in one or something.

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,740
Tuesday was so busy.

10
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:52,740
Were you busy on Tuesday?

11
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,160
We did have a lot of folks here, I guess so.

12
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,740
Yeah. I don't know.

13
00:00:56,740 --> 00:00:58,980
Yeah, it was busy for me.

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,500
It felt kind of usual to me, but yeah, it was cold, and that was fun, and different environment.

15
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,720
Looks like everybody's in El Salvador this weekend for the Plan B thing.

16
00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:08,420
I did see a little bit of that.

17
00:01:08,420 --> 00:01:18,840
Yeah, I'm surprised there's no, I don't see any videos or anything like that, but I guess it's not being streamed or televised.

18
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:20,900
Might not be televised, I guess.

19
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:28,680
I encountered it because I think Bitcoin Plus Plus posted something from Man Boss.

20
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:30,360
They released some exchange.

21
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,080
Oh, I saw that.

22
00:01:31,660 --> 00:01:33,420
Yeah, Christopher sent me that earlier this week.

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,680
They launched something called...

24
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,600
RealX?

25
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,500
I don't know if I can find it.

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,460
I don't know what it is.

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:40,960
Yeah, I don't know what it is.

28
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,940
They call it an exchange, but maybe it's like...

29
00:01:42,940 --> 00:01:44,640
Is it like Bolts maybe is an exchange?

30
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:47,900
Christopher, you got to come on and explain what this is next time.

31
00:01:48,780 --> 00:01:49,520
Yeah, you have to be in...

32
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,120
Is he in Austin?

33
00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:55,000
No, I'm saying he should just come on, like, on the show.

34
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:56,360
Oh, okay.

35
00:01:57,460 --> 00:01:57,860
Cool.

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,540
Yeah, if you've never seen this crazy show before, it's called Stacker News Live.

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,440
We cover the front page of Bitcoin.

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,780
And if you go to YouTube, where people are still subscribing for some reason,

39
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,780
I told you to stop, but people keep subscribing.

40
00:02:17,340 --> 00:02:18,920
That's not down? That number isn't down?

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:19,860
Nope.

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,720
They keep doing it for some dumb reason.

43
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:25,180
We need to keep our unsubscribe campaign going.

44
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,660
We need to be more firm about it.

45
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:27,960
Yeah.

46
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:31,220
Anyways, if you've never seen the show, check out the videos.

47
00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:33,200
Womble makes some really cool clips every week.

48
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:35,380
He did a Lucy one, which I thought was funny.

49
00:02:36,260 --> 00:02:41,140
But the most popular Womble clip last week was the Michael Saylor one.

50
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:44,160
Apparently, that one got a lot of views with the kids.

51
00:02:45,020 --> 00:02:46,280
People just love Saylor, man.

52
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:47,500
I guess so.

53
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:48,700
I don't think they...

54
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:52,480
You can just throw Sailor's face on any video and it'll just get like more than 100 views.

55
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,760
Or this one's close to it, but it doesn't matter.

56
00:02:56,220 --> 00:02:58,380
I wonder what they thought of the actual video, though.

57
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:00,160
Did we even get any comments on that one?

58
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,100
I don't know.

59
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,880
I have to look at the end.

60
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,400
We'll go over the comments at the end.

61
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,020
We did get a comment on that one.

62
00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:09,980
But I definitely think he's just like the Elon Musk of Bitcoin, basically, at this point.

63
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,440
Where he's just a face.

64
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Yeah, and he's just moving money around rather than sending things into space.

65
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,120
But anyways, check out that if you want to.

66
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:26,100
And there's some other videos.

67
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:27,840
And, yeah.

68
00:03:28,340 --> 00:03:33,560
We're going to jump into the top three stories this week on Stacker News Live.

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,840
The third top story this week is Zeus, Ellen Zeus.

70
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,100
Is that a misspell?

71
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Release V010.1.

72
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:44,420
No, hang on.

73
00:03:44,460 --> 00:03:44,940
Let me start again.

74
00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:50,440
Zeus, Ellen Zeus, release V0.12.2.

75
00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:54,480
This is from 0xBitCorn, aligning territory, 19 comments, 5,648 sets.

76
00:03:54,620 --> 00:03:55,320
Key on.

77
00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:58,820
What's Evan up to these days?

78
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,360
Yeah, it looks like another minor release of Zeus.

79
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:09,100
I guess the headline features are that they added legacy support for South African QR codes,

80
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,380
I guess, like pick and pay, money badger.

81
00:04:12,380 --> 00:04:14,200
Is that the ones that they use?

82
00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:15,260
The M-Pesa?

83
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,040
Is that what it's called?

84
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,280
The one with the phone?

85
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,500
M-Pesa, I think, is a CBDC out of Kenya, I believe.

86
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:31,120
This is a pick and pay, the large grocery retail chain in South Africa,

87
00:04:31,380 --> 00:04:34,220
accepts Bitcoin via Money Badger.

88
00:04:34,220 --> 00:04:40,720
And what Money Badger does is they somehow wrap the pick and pay invoice,

89
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,560
but it does kind of a weird thing where it gives you a URL in the QR code

90
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,300
rather than a Lightning invoice or even an LNURL.

91
00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:53,260
And so Zeus has now been adapted to support that.

92
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:58,480
I guess Money Badger maybe can upgrade those systems or something.

93
00:04:59,820 --> 00:05:00,660
That was one thing they added.

94
00:05:01,580 --> 00:05:03,640
Lots of commits, lots of contributors.

95
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:10,220
And then I think the other headline feature was that they added an activity view

96
00:05:10,220 --> 00:05:11,820
for your NWC and Zeus.

97
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,300
Oh, really?

98
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,460
I think there are a few other more kind of nuanced things.

99
00:05:17,460 --> 00:05:23,920
I guess it doesn't do an Express GraphSync by default anymore.

100
00:05:24,540 --> 00:05:27,500
It turns it on when you make your first payment,

101
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,880
which might improve, I guess, probably, like, the onboarding

102
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,740
for people who are using the app for the first time.

103
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:39,320
But those are, I think, the main ones that I could pick out.

104
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:42,300
From this release.

105
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:45,100
Yeah, there's so many options in the settings now.

106
00:05:46,060 --> 00:05:46,380
Yeah.

107
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:46,940
Interesting.

108
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,020
And even in tools.

109
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,620
What's the difference between tools and settings?

110
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,400
In a Lightning Wallet, Keon.

111
00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:00,140
If I had to guess, tools are things that actively do things.

112
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,500
So you hit a button and stuff happens.

113
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,880
So the Noster Wallet connects services and tools.

114
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:05,620
Yeah.

115
00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:12,760
So it probably creates a, it's like kind of something, I guess, that's like sort of outside,

116
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:17,440
like a sort of an active experience rather than a passive one, which is the settings

117
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,760
and kind of happens in the background.

118
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,400
Tool is something, I guess, you more interact with.

119
00:06:22,140 --> 00:06:23,380
That's how I would guess.

120
00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:27,120
You even have a currency converter in here and these tools.

121
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:27,680
Dividing them.

122
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:30,080
That's cool.

123
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:32,260
I guess I just never looked at the tools.

124
00:06:32,260 --> 00:06:35,300
Very powerful pro wallet.

125
00:06:35,620 --> 00:06:36,220
Yeah.

126
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,960
Cool stuff.

127
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:41,260
Check it out, stackers.

128
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,220
We have any comments in the top comments?

129
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,220
Top one was from Evan.

130
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:47,340
He said, I think it's pretty good.

131
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,380
Very humble Bitcoin.

132
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,940
Glad he agrees with himself.

133
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,420
Jason B. said Zeus plus Money Badger equals fire, fire, fire.

134
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,980
Jason B. who just went to South Africa for a few months.

135
00:06:58,980 --> 00:06:59,160
Oh, yeah.

136
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,580
And then Blockchain Boo just said Money Badger.

137
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:03,540
It is a great name.

138
00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:06,100
I meditated on how good that name was.

139
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:06,640
Jason B?

140
00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:08,620
No, Money Badger.

141
00:07:08,780 --> 00:07:09,520
Money Badger, oh.

142
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,580
Rather than Honey Badger?

143
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:11,860
No, no, I got it.

144
00:07:12,060 --> 00:07:12,280
I got it.

145
00:07:12,740 --> 00:07:13,020
Oh.

146
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:13,860
Cool stuff.

147
00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:16,860
All right, let's jump into the number two top story this week.

148
00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:18,200
I think I hit back.

149
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:18,680
Yeah, I did.

150
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,560
The number two top story this week is,

151
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,740
Can a Bitcoin Standard Improve Animal Welfare and Analysis?

152
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:26,100
This is from Simple Snacker.

153
00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:30,720
January 28th in the Bitcoin Beginners Territory of Books and Articles,

154
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,580
territory, politics and law territory,

155
00:07:32,740 --> 00:07:34,700
animal world territory. I'm going to keep reading out

156
00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:36,380
these territories, so if you guys

157
00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:38,640
do 20, I'm going to say them all.

158
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,160
13 comments, 5,828

159
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,200
sets. Keon!

160
00:07:46,660 --> 00:07:47,120
What's this?

161
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,600
So Simple Stacker

162
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,740
asked himself, or I guess at one point

163
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:54,620
was wondering if Bitcoin

164
00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:55,920
fixes animal welfare.

165
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,780
And he said he couldn't really find anything.

166
00:07:58,780 --> 00:08:01,000
and so he

167
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,640
did the work himself

168
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:04,740
so

169
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:07,820
some of the stats that he found were that

170
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:09,880
775,000

171
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,420
animals are used for

172
00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:13,600
research in the United States each year

173
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,380
not including

174
00:08:14,380 --> 00:08:17,300
the lower animals

175
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:19,320
mice and rats and birds

176
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,060
and fish and reptiles

177
00:08:22,060 --> 00:08:23,420
I guess and insects too

178
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:25,780
so if you do research on those you don't even report it

179
00:08:25,780 --> 00:08:26,840
to the government

180
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,700
and you can just do, I guess, probably mostly whatever you want with them.

181
00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:38,840
But for higher animals, like dogs and cats and things like that, you report it.

182
00:08:38,940 --> 00:08:43,880
So 775,000 of those animals are researched on per year.

183
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,680
And then of those animals, 240,000 are used in experiments that result in pain.

184
00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:55,220
And 12,000 of those are dogs and 3,000 of those are cats.

185
00:08:55,220 --> 00:08:57,280
and then

186
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,240
about a fifth of those

187
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,460
no attempt is made

188
00:09:02,460 --> 00:09:04,460
to minimize

189
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:05,080
the pain

190
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,200
during those experiments

191
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,840
so you know chopping

192
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,740
parts off

193
00:09:11,740 --> 00:09:14,260
stitching on extra limbs or whatever

194
00:09:14,260 --> 00:09:15,440
they do in these experiments

195
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,040
he covers one in the scandalous

196
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,940
examples where they took beagles

197
00:09:19,940 --> 00:09:21,020
and they put their head

198
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:23,160
in a flea infested

199
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:30,880
chamber. And I think they kind of left them there for quite a long time. Anyway, so

200
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:38,060
this happens a lot. We do a lot of animal research on including lower animals. It's like 100 million

201
00:09:38,060 --> 00:09:44,520
a year in the United States by some estimates and 200 million worldwide. And so does Bitcoin fix this?

202
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:52,520
If the government goes on a Bitcoin standard, can we expect this to end or at least get much smaller?

203
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,280
and Sibylstacker thinks so.

204
00:09:59,340 --> 00:10:01,280
He thinks a lot of this research is,

205
00:10:01,780 --> 00:10:03,180
and a lot of this research is,

206
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,420
funded by the government,

207
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:06,900
and it's funded by the government

208
00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:08,660
because the government funds most research,

209
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,960
but in the case where it's privately funded,

210
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,580
there is accountability and reputation

211
00:10:15,580 --> 00:10:18,680
tied to the research.

212
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:19,840
So if I'm a private,

213
00:10:20,260 --> 00:10:21,680
if I'm like a makeup manufacturer

214
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:24,420
manufacturer and I want to do research on dogs,

215
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,340
like putting eye shadow on dogs and seeing if it causes rashes or whatever.

216
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:31,100
Why would they do that on dogs, though?

217
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,520
I don't know.

218
00:10:33,020 --> 00:10:36,640
I think there are reasons to do some of this research on higher life forms.

219
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,200
I don't know why, but this is just a toy example.

220
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:42,320
There should be some balances and checks and stuff,

221
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,860
because somebody's got a question.

222
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,080
Somebody gets in the lab for a long time and you start seeing weird crap.

223
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,880
So maybe they're just like going a little bit neurosis.

224
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:54,620
Is that a word?

225
00:10:54,780 --> 00:10:55,140
Neurotic?

226
00:10:57,260 --> 00:11:01,160
Neurosis are, I think, describe worries and concerns.

227
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:03,600
It's like, yeah, we better check it on this dog.

228
00:11:05,020 --> 00:11:06,960
Oh, they need neurosis or they have?

229
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,260
They have neurosis, I think.

230
00:11:09,140 --> 00:11:14,060
Well, if they had neurosis, they probably wouldn't lead them to do research on dogs.

231
00:11:14,060 --> 00:11:20,540
but to continue with my example if i'm doing research on if i'm a makeup manufacturer i'm

232
00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:24,640
doing research on dogs with my makeup and it leaks to the public that i'm doing that i likely

233
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:31,600
lose customers um you know if we found that l'oreal had a huge plant where they were doing research on

234
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,640
dogs and killing dogs and causing them a bunch of pain i'm pretty sure l'oreal would cease to exist

235
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,440
and so that's kind of his point is on a bitcoin standard the government has less money they're

236
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:47,020
not funding research it's research that has no accountability well just to add like it's probably

237
00:11:47,020 --> 00:11:52,060
cost more money to store the dogs the animals why they're just trying on humans right like

238
00:11:52,060 --> 00:11:56,620
or is that the wrong thing to say because like everybody needs jobs these days

239
00:11:56,620 --> 00:12:00,940
wouldn't it make more sense just trying on they do they do do research on humans but

240
00:12:00,940 --> 00:12:05,860
it's usually like the last stage of research that i think we should early up the stages maybe right

241
00:12:05,860 --> 00:12:11,020
I think we consider it even more unethical to pay someone to be...

242
00:12:11,020 --> 00:12:12,800
Oh, yeah, I guess that's wrong, right?

243
00:12:13,140 --> 00:12:17,620
Yeah, if we're going to cause serious permanent harm to humans...

244
00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:18,480
That looks terrible, dude.

245
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:19,520
Yeah.

246
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,560
Does that mean they're dead?

247
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:24,800
No, that's their head in a net with a bunch of fleas.

248
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:26,680
Oh, man, dude.

249
00:12:27,860 --> 00:12:28,780
I love puppies.

250
00:12:30,180 --> 00:12:33,220
Yeah, so he concludes because the government is more constrained

251
00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:35,340
that they're not going to fund research that has no accountability,

252
00:12:35,860 --> 00:12:39,780
And therefore, the research that does exist will exist primarily in the private sector.

253
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:45,640
And because the private sector has a reputation, like people in the private sector have a reputation maintained to keep their businesses going,

254
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:54,640
they are less likely to engage in the harmful kinds of animal research that has no merit, especially.

255
00:12:54,900 --> 00:13:02,800
Like a lot of research, you can point to a lot of research that seems like it has nearly no point except to satisfy someone's curiosity.

256
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,220
and they don't mind that it's harming animals in the process.

257
00:13:07,380 --> 00:13:09,400
Well, top comment was from Siggy47.

258
00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:10,400
It said, excellent posts.

259
00:13:10,820 --> 00:13:12,500
Don't think I don't know what you're doing.

260
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,940
This one might actually be good enough for a grand slam.

261
00:13:16,580 --> 00:13:17,440
What is he implying there?

262
00:13:18,820 --> 00:13:19,960
Oh, the cross-posting.

263
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:20,540
Okay, I get you.

264
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,840
Yeah, it was a lot of cross-posts.

265
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,040
Okay, next one was from Undisciplined.

266
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,400
I'm not a public choice expert,

267
00:13:29,540 --> 00:13:32,320
but I think they frame your arguments slightly differently.

268
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,740
Government actors lacking profit and loss feedback do not perceive value in the same way as market entrepreneurs.

269
00:13:39,340 --> 00:13:43,460
So it's not that they'd be better at choosing socially valuable projects under hard money constraints.

270
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:45,360
Yeah, he's totally right on that.

271
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:46,420
Yeah.

272
00:13:46,980 --> 00:13:49,020
I see the benefits coming from these two mechanisms.

273
00:13:49,020 --> 00:13:53,460
Most of these unethical research projects are peripheral to the goals of state actors.

274
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:57,820
So they'll prioritize other probably unethical stuff that matters more to them.

275
00:13:57,820 --> 00:14:02,760
And then two, with near certainty, state activities generate economic losses.

276
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,100
Therefore, fewer state activities equals reduced losses.

277
00:14:06,180 --> 00:14:06,800
What does he mean by that?

278
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,180
That last second part.

279
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,760
What does he mean by this?

280
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,000
With near certainty, fewer losses.

281
00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:18,240
He's just saying the government is bad at spending money.

282
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:18,660
Yeah.

283
00:14:18,780 --> 00:14:20,080
He's saying, yeah, okay, I got you.

284
00:14:20,340 --> 00:14:20,540
Yeah.

285
00:14:21,020 --> 00:14:22,500
Yeah, I think he's dead on with this part.

286
00:14:22,740 --> 00:14:25,280
This, because, right, like, yeah.

287
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,480
Yeah, they definitely think about things differently.

288
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,000
that was a point that Simple Sackra made in the post where a lot of the people who are getting

289
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000
grants, they're not getting grants because they're, he argues that they're not getting grants

290
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:42,380
because the value of the work, or that has high market value. They're getting grants because

291
00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:48,440
they have relationships with the grant giving people, and the grant giving people are, or the

292
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:55,580
grant giving people want to see those market outcomes, even if like the general market is not

293
00:14:55,580 --> 00:15:01,280
interested in it and so it it has it's not necessarily bad that grants are given out but

294
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:07,680
it does it is not identical the same amount of money being spent by the market like the outcome

295
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,180
cje95 said did you happen to run across the number of animals that might be used

296
00:15:12,180 --> 00:15:16,500
for say medical research of some sort of diseasing dogs compared to the ones used for

297
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:21,880
the other ones like exposing them to chemicals so it's actually no i only saw high level

298
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,540
aggregate statistics total number

299
00:15:23,540 --> 00:15:25,980
for the breakdown. It's wild.

300
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:28,140
Yeah.

301
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,960
You got anything else on this? This is a really

302
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:30,920
depressing post, but

303
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,900
sometimes you got to see the

304
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:35,080
horrors. Yeah.

305
00:15:35,380 --> 00:15:37,480
It all be suns and roses

306
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,420
and flowers.

307
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,820
A lot of the conclusion hinges

308
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:43,640
on the government eventually accepting Bitcoin

309
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,780
a Bitcoin standard, and I'm

310
00:15:45,780 --> 00:15:47,640
skeptical of that outcome.

311
00:15:48,900 --> 00:15:49,840
I think a lot of

312
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,520
things need to happen for that

313
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:58,520
to happen and i don't know it seems unlikely all right the number one

314
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:07,600
top story this week is trip report i'll i should be able to read this but i want to butcher it

315
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:18,000
this is from leo january 26 travel territory 21 comments 14,900 cents kio this is your homeland

316
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:18,820
Where did he go?

317
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,480
Or where did they go?

318
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,300
Or she go?

319
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,060
Or them?

320
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:22,560
Or it?

321
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:23,480
Or that bot go?

322
00:16:23,980 --> 00:16:25,320
Whoever it is, where'd they go?

323
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,640
Thank you for enumerating all the possible.

324
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,800
There's so many different, you know, things these days.

325
00:16:30,820 --> 00:16:31,820
Genders and identities.

326
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:33,560
I mean, who knows?

327
00:16:34,340 --> 00:16:34,740
I know.

328
00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:35,520
I know Leo.

329
00:16:35,660 --> 00:16:36,820
I've met Leo several times.

330
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,280
They work at Lightning Labs.

331
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:38,920
Oh, nice.

332
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,100
And they also.

333
00:16:41,220 --> 00:16:41,800
Shout out Leo.

334
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:42,220
Zap him.

335
00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:43,020
Zap him.

336
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,200
Pay him in Lightning.

337
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,640
He also travels pretty consistently and does these trip reports.

338
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,480
Oh, is he the technical writer at Money Labs?

339
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:51,800
Oh, I've met him before.

340
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:52,620
Oh, hey, what's up, Leo?

341
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:53,140
Yeah.

342
00:16:53,640 --> 00:17:00,120
I think he does a lot of Bitcoin stuff and is a big part of a Bitcoin community.

343
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,960
I don't know if it's public, but in the world.

344
00:17:05,180 --> 00:17:10,240
Anyway, he goes to Ila Mujeres, which translates to the Island of Women,

345
00:17:10,540 --> 00:17:12,480
which sounds like a pretty nice place if you ask me.

346
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,900
And it's right outside of Cancun in the Caribbean.

347
00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:21,460
So you were near there recently, Carr.

348
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:21,860
Cancun?

349
00:17:23,220 --> 00:17:27,280
This is the, Hila Bitcoin is located here,

350
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,440
which is started by, or championed, I'm not sure,

351
00:17:30,540 --> 00:17:37,520
by Isabella Santos, who is the pretty woman you see

352
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,580
doing Bitcoin, like at the big dollar Bitcoin events,

353
00:17:41,580 --> 00:17:45,420
doing things and like being a host and an emcee oh yeah it's right there next marita

354
00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:51,000
yeah dude i wonder how fun how long that drive is he said it's you don't it's like you can take a

355
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,220
ferry straight from oh a train right straight from the airport yeah he said it's like really

356
00:17:56,220 --> 00:18:01,440
he took a train for like somewhere around here or something when we were in the yucatan

357
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,900
said it was really it's a beautiful area dude like this whole area is so beautiful man

358
00:18:05,900 --> 00:18:09,960
yeah and the people are so tiny too that's why i like if you can just pick them up

359
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,160
anyways

360
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,320
how many people

361
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:12,980
did you pick up

362
00:18:12,980 --> 00:18:13,360
no

363
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,180
you never know

364
00:18:15,180 --> 00:18:16,160
you never know

365
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:16,640
they're like

366
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,160
these days

367
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:17,900
they're like Mayans

368
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:18,260
you know

369
00:18:18,260 --> 00:18:19,520
they can throw a brick

370
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,160
at you or something

371
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:20,480
yeah

372
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:21,480
put a curse on you

373
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,600
no they're all super nice

374
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,160
but they're super

375
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,120
short people

376
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:25,080
anyways

377
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,560
tell me more

378
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,080
yeah

379
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,340
so he goes

380
00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:29,680
to

381
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:30,300
Hila Mujeres

382
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:31,980
and tries to be

383
00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:32,720
tries to spend

384
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,260
bitcoin there

385
00:18:33,260 --> 00:18:33,980
that's what he usually

386
00:18:33,980 --> 00:18:35,060
does on his trip reports

387
00:18:35,060 --> 00:18:37,300
and reports on that

388
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:37,940
and I guess

389
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:38,500
he

390
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:39,420
he had

391
00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:42,060
about the usual amount of luck that he would have

392
00:18:42,060 --> 00:18:43,900
where he goes to most merchants

393
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:46,840
and the employees there don't know how to...

394
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,060
Oh, there's an airport there, too.

395
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,340
...work a Bitcoin terminal.

396
00:18:49,780 --> 00:18:53,080
It's likely a private airport for small aircraft, I would guess.

397
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:53,420
I don't know.

398
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,940
That looks pretty long strip, Keon.

399
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Do you know...

400
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,220
Are you familiar with a lot of airport?

401
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:01,720
I don't know, but I watch a lot of airplane disaster stories

402
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,600
and whenever they show the plotting and stuff like that...

403
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Relative to me, you might be an expert.

404
00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:09,400
I'm not an expert, but I put a lot of hours...

405
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,440
watching those Mayday episodes.

406
00:19:12,660 --> 00:19:14,200
But this looks like a good strip right here.

407
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:15,080
This is what you want.

408
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,000
Okay.

409
00:19:17,180 --> 00:19:17,480
I need a plane.

410
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,240
Anyways, go for it.

411
00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:19,540
Yeah.

412
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,820
So he tries to spend Bitcoin

413
00:19:22,820 --> 00:19:23,960
and he has the usual experience

414
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,100
where most of the employees working at establishments

415
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:27,460
claim to accept Bitcoin

416
00:19:27,460 --> 00:19:29,840
are unfamiliar with how to accept Bitcoin.

417
00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:31,900
Another common experience he has there,

418
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:34,040
which I hadn't heard him describe before,

419
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,760
is that the Bitcoin device is like a separate device

420
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,040
that they use.

421
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,200
and because it's so infrequently used,

422
00:19:40,260 --> 00:19:41,880
it's usually dead when they go to use it.

423
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,420
So even if the employee is familiar with accepting Bitcoin,

424
00:19:44,580 --> 00:19:45,840
the device itself is dead.

425
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:48,920
And I guess there were a few occasions

426
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:54,520
where he got some feedback from one of the managers.

427
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,940
I think he said that he would use Bitcoin more,

428
00:19:57,060 --> 00:19:57,960
they would accept Bitcoin

429
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,320
if they had a dedicated point of sale system for it.

430
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:00,660
Yeah.

431
00:20:00,860 --> 00:20:02,060
Which I think is kind of,

432
00:20:02,580 --> 00:20:06,300
I think it's the wrong solution to the right problem.

433
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:08,420
I think it's hard to use.

434
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,280
I'm not sure what point of sale is the solution.

435
00:20:10,580 --> 00:20:13,160
So just real quick, they have this blue little thing.

436
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,600
It's like a blue little calculator,

437
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:18,720
and that's what they use to run all the cards in Mexico,

438
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,600
like in some of the places where they're just villages or whatever.

439
00:20:22,060 --> 00:20:26,500
They'll have that, and then you'll be able to pay tap to pay or whatever.

440
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:29,680
They need to build one of those, but with a Bitcoin node, basically.

441
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,320
You know what I mean?

442
00:20:30,860 --> 00:20:31,620
That would be cool.

443
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,260
It would just be like an NSE tap or something with your Zeus wallet

444
00:20:34,260 --> 00:20:36,540
or whatever wallet you're using.

445
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,960
I would imagine someone's tried this already,

446
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,700
but you remember like the early Square device

447
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:43,640
where you plugged it into your headphone jack?

448
00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:44,220
Yeah.

449
00:20:44,380 --> 00:20:54,072
That was like the Do you remember I used to use it in PlugLab in 22 Oh we still using it Yeah we were using that Yeah they give them away for free I had one of my friends who worked at Square give me one

450
00:20:56,512 --> 00:21:00,212
Anyway, yeah, so he has mixed success.

451
00:21:00,772 --> 00:21:02,392
He does spend quite a bit of Bitcoin.

452
00:21:04,492 --> 00:21:07,012
And something like high-level notes,

453
00:21:07,552 --> 00:21:08,792
most of the merchants are using,

454
00:21:08,852 --> 00:21:11,532
I think all of them that he describes are using custodial wallets.

455
00:21:11,532 --> 00:21:16,032
So Blink or Wallet of Satoshi, I think, are the only real wallets that come up.

456
00:21:17,172 --> 00:21:21,672
I think one of them tried to use a wallet that had on-chain that he said he couldn't even identify.

457
00:21:23,492 --> 00:21:28,432
He said some of them were very hard to reach, and he had to pay quite high fees.

458
00:21:29,172 --> 00:21:35,152
And then he had some success using Bitcoin ATMs there, which is another thing he tends to try.

459
00:21:35,512 --> 00:21:37,892
When he's there, he spends Bitcoin and tries to get local currency out.

460
00:21:37,892 --> 00:21:39,512
These tacos look so good, bro.

461
00:21:40,452 --> 00:21:40,932
Look at those.

462
00:21:40,932 --> 00:21:44,132
Yeah, he did say they were great, and he said he had a good time with that merchant spending

463
00:21:44,132 --> 00:21:44,392
Bitcoin.

464
00:21:44,652 --> 00:21:45,092
That's pastore.

465
00:21:46,032 --> 00:21:49,212
This one looks like bistec or some kind of gardener.

466
00:21:49,592 --> 00:21:50,592
This looks like chicken.

467
00:21:51,592 --> 00:21:52,452
Looks like cauliflower.

468
00:21:52,572 --> 00:21:53,172
Dude, look at that.

469
00:21:53,232 --> 00:21:53,592
Look at that.

470
00:21:53,832 --> 00:21:55,192
Oh, man, that looks so good.

471
00:21:55,272 --> 00:21:56,512
They even put the cabbage on there.

472
00:21:57,112 --> 00:21:58,572
Those are homemade tortillas, too, Keon.

473
00:21:59,952 --> 00:22:00,312
Wow.

474
00:22:00,532 --> 00:22:02,032
It was a little truck.

475
00:22:02,292 --> 00:22:03,192
He has, I think, a picture.

476
00:22:03,192 --> 00:22:04,172
What is this one?

477
00:22:05,132 --> 00:22:05,692
Is this potatoes?

478
00:22:06,552 --> 00:22:06,752
Yep.

479
00:22:06,752 --> 00:22:07,332
Sweet potatoes?

480
00:22:07,552 --> 00:22:08,252
No, those are...

481
00:22:08,252 --> 00:22:09,212
Potatoes and cheese.

482
00:22:09,212 --> 00:22:11,972
He might be at a Bitcoin cafe.

483
00:22:12,232 --> 00:22:13,092
Is that a sandwich or something?

484
00:22:13,632 --> 00:22:14,872
I don't know where he's at.

485
00:22:15,112 --> 00:22:15,952
Is that red stuff?

486
00:22:16,052 --> 00:22:17,452
Oh, that looks like it's a salsa.

487
00:22:18,852 --> 00:22:20,012
I'm not sure about this one.

488
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:20,952
Oh, that's a breakfast.

489
00:22:21,132 --> 00:22:21,932
That's a breakfast sandwich.

490
00:22:22,912 --> 00:22:25,212
What do you rate it on a scale of one to ten?

491
00:22:25,212 --> 00:22:27,152
I mean, I'm not going to pass that up,

492
00:22:27,252 --> 00:22:29,152
but I don't think that would be my first choice.

493
00:22:29,232 --> 00:22:30,412
I would get these tacos first.

494
00:22:31,132 --> 00:22:31,332
Okay.

495
00:22:31,452 --> 00:22:32,312
Those are the ten.

496
00:22:32,792 --> 00:22:34,492
I would get like seven of those tacos.

497
00:22:34,652 --> 00:22:35,372
Okay, that's a seven.

498
00:22:35,472 --> 00:22:36,612
What's a ten taco then?

499
00:22:37,832 --> 00:22:38,392
Just these.

500
00:22:38,392 --> 00:22:40,752
I mean, dude, like, these look like I'm in heaven.

501
00:22:40,812 --> 00:22:41,692
I can eat this every day.

502
00:22:42,012 --> 00:22:44,052
Like, I mean, can't you?

503
00:22:44,472 --> 00:22:44,812
No?

504
00:22:45,012 --> 00:22:46,072
Oh, absolutely, yeah.

505
00:22:46,172 --> 00:22:47,332
I can eat that every day, and I'm happy, man.

506
00:22:47,332 --> 00:22:47,772
It looks pretty great.

507
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:49,272
I'd be pretty happy.

508
00:22:49,532 --> 00:22:51,252
So you're moving to Hila Mujeres?

509
00:22:52,092 --> 00:22:52,972
No, no, we're never.

510
00:22:53,312 --> 00:22:53,592
Oh, okay.

511
00:22:54,252 --> 00:22:56,852
But, yeah, that looks like there's Terminal right there.

512
00:22:57,412 --> 00:22:59,272
Yeah, this place accepts Bitcoin.

513
00:22:59,512 --> 00:23:02,072
It might be somewhere that he had some success.

514
00:23:02,172 --> 00:23:04,952
I think he did say, mentioned he had success at a bar buying a beer.

515
00:23:05,652 --> 00:23:05,952
Yeah.

516
00:23:05,952 --> 00:23:06,952
So

517
00:23:06,952 --> 00:23:08,272
Take Amex

518
00:23:08,272 --> 00:23:08,932
What's this one?

519
00:23:10,272 --> 00:23:11,112
Oh, that's cool

520
00:23:11,112 --> 00:23:12,092
Churros cart

521
00:23:12,092 --> 00:23:13,032
Are those churros?

522
00:23:13,852 --> 00:23:15,052
I don't see any outside

523
00:23:15,052 --> 00:23:16,072
Oh, they're right there on the bottom

524
00:23:16,072 --> 00:23:17,052
Oh, they're right here on the bottom

525
00:23:17,052 --> 00:23:17,652
Yeah

526
00:23:17,652 --> 00:23:18,692
I like a good churro

527
00:23:18,692 --> 00:23:20,252
Who doesn't?

528
00:23:20,552 --> 00:23:20,852
Yeah

529
00:23:20,852 --> 00:23:23,712
If you don't like churros, I don't trust you

530
00:23:23,712 --> 00:23:24,672
That's what I say

531
00:23:24,672 --> 00:23:26,292
You know, surprisingly

532
00:23:26,292 --> 00:23:28,372
I don't see any churros carts in Austin

533
00:23:28,372 --> 00:23:29,952
I know, it's not very popular

534
00:23:29,952 --> 00:23:30,552
They're actually

535
00:23:30,552 --> 00:23:31,992
I mean, you see them like with the pizza

536
00:23:31,992 --> 00:23:33,552
Like Jets pizza and stuff like that

537
00:23:33,552 --> 00:23:34,892
But you never see them like

538
00:23:34,892 --> 00:23:39,472
outside of the yeah you don't have like a dedicated churro like this guy's not out there

539
00:23:39,472 --> 00:23:45,732
saying get us churros you know the burger place that i talk about that has a burger of the month

540
00:23:45,732 --> 00:23:52,532
currently they have a churro uh shake yeah you know what i would like to see i would like to see

541
00:23:52,532 --> 00:24:00,232
like a churro corn dog i think that'd be amazing oh we put a weenie inside the churro

542
00:24:00,232 --> 00:24:04,592
i see you're getting you're getting like breakfast lunch and dinner in that thing and dessert yeah

543
00:24:04,592 --> 00:24:05,592
It's basically like a pancake.

544
00:24:05,592 --> 00:24:08,152
You ever have those pancake sausages that they sell in the frozen food?

545
00:24:08,472 --> 00:24:11,032
It's like that, but it's like a churro version of it.

546
00:24:11,652 --> 00:24:13,412
But I want it like this dude making it.

547
00:24:13,472 --> 00:24:14,972
I want him making that churro dog.

548
00:24:15,872 --> 00:24:16,272
Oh, yeah.

549
00:24:16,312 --> 00:24:17,792
You want the real deal, the homemade.

550
00:24:18,032 --> 00:24:18,952
Churros need more dog.

551
00:24:19,712 --> 00:24:20,052
All right.

552
00:24:20,532 --> 00:24:21,332
Cool stuff.

553
00:24:21,572 --> 00:24:22,732
We got it from Winter Yeti.

554
00:24:22,792 --> 00:24:24,252
Winter Yeti said, been there twice myself.

555
00:24:24,972 --> 00:24:27,592
Great location away from the slog of Cancun itself.

556
00:24:28,832 --> 00:24:29,692
The beach is restored.

557
00:24:30,492 --> 00:24:33,032
They were badly damaged by a hurricane the last time I was there.

558
00:24:33,032 --> 00:24:40,572
And Leo said, yeah, the beach is both on the island and the Playa de Carmen were in good shape.

559
00:24:41,092 --> 00:24:42,252
Do they name it after Ben Carmen?

560
00:24:43,192 --> 00:24:45,812
I would have to check, but it's possible.

561
00:24:46,072 --> 00:24:47,012
Dang, that's crazy.

562
00:24:47,192 --> 00:24:48,892
Or maybe the spelling's off, yeah.

563
00:24:49,012 --> 00:24:49,512
Yeah, but.

564
00:24:49,712 --> 00:24:50,872
I was going to say, that'd be incredible.

565
00:24:51,132 --> 00:24:53,292
Maybe he visits and then they just start naming things after.

566
00:24:53,332 --> 00:24:55,232
Maybe Ben was conceived on that island.

567
00:24:55,692 --> 00:24:59,512
So maybe he was named after that beach.

568
00:24:59,692 --> 00:25:00,732
That'd be hilarious.

569
00:25:01,212 --> 00:25:01,772
We love you, Ben.

570
00:25:02,652 --> 00:25:03,712
Siggy 47, great report.

571
00:25:03,812 --> 00:25:08,512
I have been there twice, but not since Iza Opener Cafe.

572
00:25:09,072 --> 00:25:09,332
Iza?

573
00:25:09,872 --> 00:25:10,112
Hila.

574
00:25:10,492 --> 00:25:10,792
Hila.

575
00:25:10,852 --> 00:25:11,592
Or no, what's her name?

576
00:25:11,812 --> 00:25:12,212
Isabel.

577
00:25:12,572 --> 00:25:13,772
Isabel Opener Cafe.

578
00:25:13,952 --> 00:25:15,232
I'm hoping to visit again soon.

579
00:25:16,452 --> 00:25:16,712
Yeah.

580
00:25:19,052 --> 00:25:20,092
Pretty crazy stuff.

581
00:25:21,752 --> 00:25:22,412
Yeah, man.

582
00:25:22,632 --> 00:25:23,652
Definitely want to go visit.

583
00:25:24,032 --> 00:25:25,032
Keon, you going?

584
00:25:25,452 --> 00:25:26,232
Oh, I'd love to.

585
00:25:26,232 --> 00:25:29,652
I need to get on a beach with some sun.

586
00:25:30,392 --> 00:25:30,872
For sure, dude.

587
00:25:31,132 --> 00:25:31,572
I don't know.

588
00:25:31,572 --> 00:25:33,432
So I can't afford it, but.

589
00:25:33,972 --> 00:25:34,672
Yeah, you should.

590
00:25:34,932 --> 00:25:35,692
I'd love to go.

591
00:25:36,172 --> 00:25:36,372
Yeah.

592
00:25:38,212 --> 00:25:41,532
Let's jump into some Wumble's Picks.

593
00:25:43,772 --> 00:25:44,852
Wumble's Picks.

594
00:25:45,212 --> 00:25:45,852
Pickity Picks.

595
00:25:46,492 --> 00:25:47,612
Wumble's Picks.

596
00:25:48,112 --> 00:25:54,232
Wumble's Picks this week is current tax policies are the biggest obstacle to BTC payments, says CryptoExec.

597
00:25:54,312 --> 00:25:55,312
This is from Scoresby.

598
00:25:55,792 --> 00:25:59,852
29 comments, 102 boost, 1331 sets.

599
00:26:00,052 --> 00:26:00,592
Key on.

600
00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:01,252
What's this?

601
00:26:01,572 --> 00:26:11,312
Yeah, I guess Pierre Oshard was tweeting about Bitcoin not succeeding as a medium exchange because of tax policy.

602
00:26:11,712 --> 00:26:15,052
And then James O'Byrne followed up and then Scoresby found it.

603
00:26:15,292 --> 00:26:18,972
And I guess Cointelegraph also found it.

604
00:26:19,612 --> 00:26:29,632
That's more or less what it's all about, is that the argument is, or the theory for why Bitcoin medium exchange has not taken off yet,

605
00:26:29,632 --> 00:26:34,452
is because even for small denominations of Bitcoin,

606
00:26:35,072 --> 00:26:37,672
when you spend it, it's a tax event.

607
00:26:37,972 --> 00:26:40,992
And that's a plausible explanation

608
00:26:40,992 --> 00:26:42,752
for why Medium Exchange hasn't taken off.

609
00:26:43,832 --> 00:26:46,712
I think Wombo asked us a question about that.

610
00:26:47,432 --> 00:26:50,652
Wombo's question was, let me go back.

611
00:26:52,432 --> 00:26:53,552
Wombo's question was,

612
00:26:53,732 --> 00:26:56,112
so which do you think is holding Bitcoin back,

613
00:26:56,652 --> 00:26:57,852
tech or taxes?

614
00:26:57,852 --> 00:27:00,852
Keon, what do you think it is?

615
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:02,452
Tech or taxes?

616
00:27:03,012 --> 00:27:05,352
So I have a few theories about this.

617
00:27:05,572 --> 00:27:09,872
For me, it seemed like around 2022 or so,

618
00:27:10,872 --> 00:27:11,952
meeting or exchange on Bitcoin,

619
00:27:12,092 --> 00:27:13,672
the steam was picking up quite a bit.

620
00:27:13,912 --> 00:27:15,792
And then there was like a massive cooling.

621
00:27:16,812 --> 00:27:21,132
And so the theory that it's like taxes

622
00:27:21,132 --> 00:27:23,292
doesn't exactly make sense to me

623
00:27:23,292 --> 00:27:27,592
because the tax situation existed prior to 2022.

624
00:27:27,852 --> 00:27:31,712
So why was it picking up steam in that environment if the explanation was –

625
00:27:31,712 --> 00:27:32,432
Custodial wallets.

626
00:27:32,992 --> 00:27:39,932
And so I think the – you know, there are a few theories I personally have about why this could be.

627
00:27:40,012 --> 00:27:42,232
And it could be a plurality of things.

628
00:27:42,552 --> 00:27:46,292
But one of – you know, taxes could be one because around that time,

629
00:27:46,352 --> 00:27:52,932
that is when the government seemed to be cracking down or seemed to be –

630
00:27:52,932 --> 00:27:53,572
Taking notice.

631
00:27:53,912 --> 00:27:56,512
Yeah, being kind of aggressive with the ecosystem.

632
00:27:56,512 --> 00:28:02,192
And so that might have scared people away, and taxes might be a component of that.

633
00:28:02,792 --> 00:28:08,552
But we also had an exodus of Wallet of Satoshi and Phoenix from the United States,

634
00:28:09,452 --> 00:28:11,452
you know, anticipating getting cracked down on.

635
00:28:11,532 --> 00:28:16,512
And that might have cooled down the tech, because it's like, if you're a developer in Bitcoin...

636
00:28:17,072 --> 00:28:17,752
Do you want to go to jail?

637
00:28:18,092 --> 00:28:22,352
Yeah, maybe it's not reasonable to build directly on Bitcoin anymore,

638
00:28:22,352 --> 00:28:24,572
because you're going to have to contend with these things.

639
00:28:24,572 --> 00:28:26,132
And so that might be one explanation.

640
00:28:26,132 --> 00:28:30,952
Another thing that happened around that time was AI really started popping off.

641
00:28:31,052 --> 00:28:36,052
And so maybe that sucked out a lot of Bitcoin developers and the tech got stale.

642
00:28:36,672 --> 00:28:46,232
Another thing that happened around that time was Jack Dorsey airdropping helicopter money on developers.

643
00:28:47,252 --> 00:28:48,112
Oh, for Nostra?

644
00:28:48,772 --> 00:28:52,232
For Nostra and I think for just Bitcoin in general.

645
00:28:52,232 --> 00:29:02,132
But if that is the cause of this, the theory would be that it sucked them away from more direct Bitcoin development.

646
00:29:02,312 --> 00:29:09,912
Because now you can build, I think the argument is more or less, you can build a Nostra app, just a duplicate of anything that else exists on the internet.

647
00:29:10,172 --> 00:29:13,412
And it's also a Bitcoin app because you can add zaps to it.

648
00:29:15,492 --> 00:29:20,212
And so there's a lot of theories potentially for...

649
00:29:20,212 --> 00:29:26,352
I think for me, I'm only going to go to one point because this is the one that I constantly work on all the time, all day,

650
00:29:26,912 --> 00:29:33,632
is that I felt like in 21, 22, we saw this big fintech boom just as far as like a deployment of capital.

651
00:29:34,092 --> 00:29:39,992
And a lot of it was going towards lightning companies and infrastructure and stuff like that and some other really cool stuff.

652
00:29:39,992 --> 00:29:44,852
And then shortly right after that, it kind of slowed down, right?

653
00:29:44,912 --> 00:29:46,832
Like you said, the AI thing kind of took off.

654
00:29:46,832 --> 00:29:50,992
And so you see less and less companies getting created.

655
00:29:51,212 --> 00:29:52,952
So I don't know.

656
00:29:53,032 --> 00:29:59,192
I think the way that you solve a lot of this stuff is just through more Bitcoin companies, more lightning companies, getting them to build.

657
00:29:59,492 --> 00:30:01,052
I mean, why did the Internet take off?

658
00:30:01,292 --> 00:30:01,432
Right.

659
00:30:01,472 --> 00:30:04,272
Why did that become a thing for society?

660
00:30:04,272 --> 00:30:09,292
It was because the boom that happened in 1999 with the dot com stuff.

661
00:30:09,332 --> 00:30:15,212
And then shortly after that, with like what YC was doing and then shortly after that with the iPhone.

662
00:30:15,212 --> 00:30:18,992
So for me, I see it more like we just need more Bitcoin companies, more Lightning companies.

663
00:30:19,152 --> 00:30:20,252
Okay, so you think it's a tech issue?

664
00:30:21,012 --> 00:30:21,632
Is that what it is?

665
00:30:21,672 --> 00:30:22,752
Oh, yeah, I think it's a tech issue.

666
00:30:23,152 --> 00:30:23,392
Okay.

667
00:30:24,232 --> 00:30:25,932
Yeah, then that would be your side.

668
00:30:26,132 --> 00:30:30,212
I would say I don't think it's a tech issue.

669
00:30:30,492 --> 00:30:40,192
I think it's like a mixture of regulatory and economic incentives kind of playing out.

670
00:30:40,192 --> 00:30:44,872
I also think, and this is more probably a contrarian take, so apologies to it, right?

671
00:30:45,212 --> 00:30:47,552
disagree with me.

672
00:30:47,712 --> 00:30:49,792
But I also think to a certain extent

673
00:30:49,792 --> 00:30:51,772
having a tax policy in place

674
00:30:51,772 --> 00:30:53,832
does keep the hodlers. It's like 70%

675
00:30:53,832 --> 00:30:55,612
of the on-chain stuff

676
00:30:55,612 --> 00:30:57,752
is hodled. So I definitely think that

677
00:30:57,752 --> 00:30:58,672
keeps that in check.

678
00:30:59,912 --> 00:31:01,572
But that's just more car take.

679
00:31:02,332 --> 00:31:03,772
I see. You think if we

680
00:31:03,772 --> 00:31:05,412
added these de minimis tax

681
00:31:05,412 --> 00:31:07,752
exemptions then we'd get more

682
00:31:07,752 --> 00:31:09,852
It's a contrarian take. I mean this is

683
00:31:09,852 --> 00:31:11,932
why SNL right? Every week

684
00:31:11,932 --> 00:31:13,492
you're here for stuff like this.

685
00:31:13,492 --> 00:31:15,332
So I will say that.

686
00:31:15,352 --> 00:31:16,432
So it's good for a price.

687
00:31:17,152 --> 00:31:21,912
I'm saying it's good for – it keeps the hollers in check, in my opinion.

688
00:31:22,032 --> 00:31:22,972
But that's a contrarian take.

689
00:31:23,212 --> 00:31:24,372
But should they be in check?

690
00:31:24,712 --> 00:31:26,112
Is it good for them to not spend back?

691
00:31:26,112 --> 00:31:26,432
I don't know.

692
00:31:26,452 --> 00:31:27,052
I just have takes.

693
00:31:27,112 --> 00:31:27,452
That's it.

694
00:31:27,892 --> 00:31:30,632
I got no proof to back this up other than what I see.

695
00:31:31,792 --> 00:31:32,492
Shoot it for the hip.

696
00:31:35,072 --> 00:31:35,912
Wumble likes this stuff.

697
00:31:35,912 --> 00:31:37,352
This is what gets clipped, man.

698
00:31:39,892 --> 00:31:40,432
That's cool.

699
00:31:40,512 --> 00:31:41,292
That's Wumble's Picks.

700
00:31:41,292 --> 00:31:49,792
Tune in next week for more exciting items like this from Wumble's Bag of Picks every week.

701
00:31:51,212 --> 00:31:54,172
You think Wumble's Picks is going to eventually take over the show?

702
00:31:55,252 --> 00:31:56,232
If you let it.

703
00:31:56,672 --> 00:31:57,372
I know.

704
00:31:58,072 --> 00:32:01,212
I need to slow my enthusiasm around Wumble's Picks.

705
00:32:02,252 --> 00:32:04,852
Hark it back a little bit to the early days of Wumble's Picks.

706
00:32:07,232 --> 00:32:07,832
All right.

707
00:32:07,872 --> 00:32:09,292
Let's jump into...

708
00:32:09,292 --> 00:32:10,692
Let's just jump in there.

709
00:32:10,692 --> 00:32:12,192
Let's go with the Keon's post.

710
00:32:13,052 --> 00:32:16,392
Keon loves Ray Dalio, so Ray Dalio's comments on the beginning of a new Civil War.

711
00:32:16,492 --> 00:32:19,432
Keon, why do you want to talk about this today?

712
00:32:20,312 --> 00:32:21,612
It's not that I want to talk about it.

713
00:32:21,632 --> 00:32:23,812
I just thought it was good.

714
00:32:23,812 --> 00:32:30,832
It occupied some of my mental bandwidth for the day, I think, when Elvis posted this.

715
00:32:31,132 --> 00:32:37,992
But Ray Dalio posted a section or some chapters from his book, I think, The Changing World Order.

716
00:32:37,992 --> 00:32:40,272
or that might be the book he referenced here,

717
00:32:40,992 --> 00:32:45,812
after the Minneapolis stuff unfolded.

718
00:32:45,812 --> 00:32:49,452
I wasn't exactly following that news, but it was hard to avoid,

719
00:32:49,592 --> 00:32:54,692
where I think two people have died in Minneapolis in anti-ICE protests,

720
00:32:55,372 --> 00:32:59,152
getting shot by ICE enforcers or whatever they're called.

721
00:33:00,172 --> 00:33:03,252
And so Dalio shares these chapters in the book

722
00:33:03,252 --> 00:33:13,632
to, and points to, I think, stage six or five, which is as, you know, which is the current

723
00:33:13,632 --> 00:33:18,272
world order is kind of collapsing, and a new world order is coming over, like, I think

724
00:33:18,272 --> 00:33:24,672
there are six stages, and so we're, I think he says we're transitioning into, from stage

725
00:33:24,672 --> 00:33:31,292
five to stage six, I'm getting the stages right, which is where violence occurs.

726
00:33:33,252 --> 00:33:36,252
internal tension, internal violence,

727
00:33:36,412 --> 00:33:38,132
and then eventually external violence,

728
00:33:38,412 --> 00:33:40,072
I think is the final stage.

729
00:33:42,032 --> 00:33:44,332
Yeah, I thought that was...

730
00:33:44,332 --> 00:33:46,472
I read as...

731
00:33:46,472 --> 00:33:48,212
This was like pre-print

732
00:33:48,212 --> 00:33:50,392
when Dalio was publishing drafts of it.

733
00:33:50,572 --> 00:33:52,432
I was reading this back when that was happening,

734
00:33:52,792 --> 00:33:54,392
and I enjoyed it.

735
00:33:55,052 --> 00:33:57,952
Is it like his own version of Sovereign Individual or something?

736
00:33:58,072 --> 00:33:58,892
Is that what he's doing here?

737
00:33:59,992 --> 00:34:01,312
I didn't read the article.

738
00:34:01,312 --> 00:34:08,992
or? It's kind of like that. I would say more than sovereign individual, it's kind of grounded in

739
00:34:08,992 --> 00:34:16,992
like historical cycles. Sovereign individual is a little more hand wavy. I think if you

740
00:34:16,992 --> 00:34:24,172
if you like probe Dalio and questioned him, he could actually go back and have a clear line of

741
00:34:24,172 --> 00:34:30,412
reasoning. I'm not, you know, sovereign individuals seem to be very like predict, like seem to do a

742
00:34:30,412 --> 00:34:35,032
good job of predicting the future. But I'm not sure. That might have been, it seemed kind of

743
00:34:35,032 --> 00:34:39,612
vibes. It seems like they were on the wavelength. They kind of understood it. I'm not sure how well

744
00:34:39,612 --> 00:34:45,932
it was backed by research. Dalio has been doing this for a long time to try to direct his, I think

745
00:34:45,932 --> 00:34:52,452
he's like the largest head fund in the world. And so these very large macro trends interest him a lot.

746
00:34:53,372 --> 00:34:58,512
And he's now sharing like some of the conclusions that he think might be useful

747
00:34:58,512 --> 00:35:02,032
with people, and he does so in these books.

748
00:35:04,532 --> 00:35:05,832
Yeah, I got nothing on this.

749
00:35:07,712 --> 00:35:09,972
I can give my usual Dalio take, but...

750
00:35:09,972 --> 00:35:10,832
What's your usual Dalio take?

751
00:35:10,832 --> 00:35:11,452
I'm trying to be better.

752
00:35:11,572 --> 00:35:13,032
I don't even remember your usual Dalio take.

753
00:35:13,552 --> 00:35:16,352
I mean, look at last year's SNL around this time.

754
00:35:16,532 --> 00:35:18,532
There was a Dalio post, too, that we probably talked about.

755
00:35:19,212 --> 00:35:20,692
And then look at the year before that, too.

756
00:35:20,772 --> 00:35:21,732
There was a Dalio post.

757
00:35:21,972 --> 00:35:23,612
Does it mean he's wrong, or it means...

758
00:35:23,612 --> 00:35:25,892
I think it's just the same song, just different tape.

759
00:35:26,832 --> 00:35:27,692
The same...

760
00:35:27,692 --> 00:35:29,132
Same song, just a different tape.

761
00:35:29,492 --> 00:35:31,292
Just on a different...

762
00:35:31,292 --> 00:35:32,692
I actually don't think it's the same song.

763
00:35:32,972 --> 00:35:34,212
I mean, I haven't read the article.

764
00:35:34,392 --> 00:35:35,292
I'll go and read it.

765
00:35:35,432 --> 00:35:37,312
I think it's the same tape, different song.

766
00:35:37,532 --> 00:35:37,892
There you go.

767
00:35:38,592 --> 00:35:41,732
So he's basically, you know, before, maybe last year,

768
00:35:41,772 --> 00:35:43,172
he was like, we're at stage three or four.

769
00:35:43,932 --> 00:35:45,812
And now he's like, we're at...

770
00:35:45,812 --> 00:35:47,492
I feel like I would remember him saying stages.

771
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:48,812
Because that's what stuck out right now

772
00:35:48,812 --> 00:35:49,872
when you were explaining this to me.

773
00:35:49,992 --> 00:35:51,152
The stages have always been there.

774
00:35:51,232 --> 00:35:52,152
So they've been there since...

775
00:35:52,152 --> 00:35:56,052
Well, I remember him talking about the world order changing.

776
00:35:56,052 --> 00:36:02,432
But he also predicted, like back in, was it 21, 22, he was predicting heavy on China and saying that China was going to take over the world.

777
00:36:03,072 --> 00:36:03,772
I don't know if you remember that.

778
00:36:03,952 --> 00:36:06,972
No, that's at the very end of the stage when the world order actually changes.

779
00:36:07,072 --> 00:36:07,672
We're not there yet.

780
00:36:07,692 --> 00:36:09,452
Oh, he's still predicting China's going to take over the world.

781
00:36:09,532 --> 00:36:09,692
Okay.

782
00:36:10,052 --> 00:36:10,632
Just want to make sure.

783
00:36:10,672 --> 00:36:12,572
Yeah, there'll be the new world power, is his prediction.

784
00:36:12,632 --> 00:36:12,792
Yeah.

785
00:36:13,272 --> 00:36:13,892
You don't think so?

786
00:36:14,552 --> 00:36:19,832
I just don't have a take on this because it's just like, you know, it's kind of the guy that's like always screaming at the cloud.

787
00:36:20,232 --> 00:36:24,252
And then it's like, after a while, you're just like, okay, keep screaming at the cloud.

788
00:36:24,312 --> 00:36:25,012
I'll see you next year.

789
00:36:25,932 --> 00:36:26,632
But I don't know.

790
00:36:26,692 --> 00:36:30,072
I'm kind of one of those guys that just, until I see some actual proof.

791
00:36:30,572 --> 00:36:32,752
But it looks like in here he outlines some proof.

792
00:36:32,852 --> 00:36:35,992
So I'll go and read it and see if it's any different than the year before.

793
00:36:36,312 --> 00:36:39,012
But I feel like around Davos, this is when we get the Ray Dalio take,

794
00:36:39,552 --> 00:36:42,952
and then we don't see him for the next, he's like the groundhog, right?

795
00:36:43,212 --> 00:36:44,432
It's like you won't see him for another 10 months.

796
00:36:46,172 --> 00:36:51,732
That's Carr's take that Keon made me say, even though I didn't want to say it.

797
00:36:51,792 --> 00:36:53,892
Well, I just wanted to, I don't remember your take.

798
00:36:53,892 --> 00:36:56,652
I knew it would probably be anti-Dalio.

799
00:36:56,952 --> 00:36:57,792
It's not anti-Dalio.

800
00:36:57,992 --> 00:36:58,792
It's just...

801
00:36:58,792 --> 00:37:00,772
So we'll be here again in 2027.

802
00:37:01,872 --> 00:37:02,952
Somebody set a reminder.

803
00:37:03,652 --> 00:37:07,572
2027, we'll be here talking about the next...

804
00:37:07,572 --> 00:37:09,632
The new, new Civil War from Ray Dalio.

805
00:37:09,912 --> 00:37:11,212
Or whatever he's talking about.

806
00:37:11,532 --> 00:37:12,232
Trying to take it over.

807
00:37:15,292 --> 00:37:16,252
Until he gets it right.

808
00:37:18,252 --> 00:37:19,812
I hope he gets it right one day.

809
00:37:20,672 --> 00:37:21,232
I'm rooting for him.

810
00:37:22,512 --> 00:37:23,732
Top comment was from Coop?

811
00:37:23,892 --> 00:37:25,892
What did you say here?

812
00:37:26,592 --> 00:37:27,072
Oh, yeah.

813
00:37:27,152 --> 00:37:33,332
I was saying how it does seem like I saw tribal tensions rise more recently.

814
00:37:34,892 --> 00:37:46,252
And specifically, I encountered someone who was kind of parroting white nationalist sort of talking points,

815
00:37:46,252 --> 00:37:55,072
like marrying politics and racism a little more than I was expecting.

816
00:37:56,932 --> 00:38:01,772
And so I do think there is a reach for a tribe

817
00:38:01,772 --> 00:38:10,712
and a general anxious kind of negative sentiment,

818
00:38:12,452 --> 00:38:15,392
which has people reaching for tribes.

819
00:38:15,392 --> 00:38:23,532
In this case, this was just one instance, but I found it weird or notable.

820
00:38:25,052 --> 00:38:28,292
Yeah, then we got Simple Sacker said, I think Taco will hold.

821
00:38:28,432 --> 00:38:30,012
I see Trump backing down in Minneapolis.

822
00:38:30,232 --> 00:38:30,772
I hope he does.

823
00:38:31,752 --> 00:38:34,452
So it looks like there's a lot of comments, a lot of spicy comments.

824
00:38:34,552 --> 00:38:35,532
This is one if you guys want to check it out.

825
00:38:36,772 --> 00:38:41,932
But yeah, we'll be back here next year for Ray Dalio's take in 2027.

826
00:38:43,412 --> 00:38:43,972
See you there.

827
00:38:44,852 --> 00:38:51,832
The next one that you had was Africa's Countries Map Quiz.

828
00:38:52,732 --> 00:38:53,972
Keon, what are you doing?

829
00:38:54,292 --> 00:38:57,912
Jason B has been making these map quiz games, and they're pretty fun.

830
00:38:59,312 --> 00:39:05,492
I was spectacularly bad at picking where countries were in Africa.

831
00:39:05,712 --> 00:39:07,132
There's a lot of countries in Africa.

832
00:39:07,492 --> 00:39:08,452
Turns out, look at that.

833
00:39:08,452 --> 00:39:10,112
Are those individual countries right here?

834
00:39:10,672 --> 00:39:10,872
Yeah.

835
00:39:11,032 --> 00:39:11,372
Or are those states?

836
00:39:11,372 --> 00:39:13,312
No, those are, I think, states, yeah.

837
00:39:13,352 --> 00:39:13,872
Oh, cool.

838
00:39:13,972 --> 00:39:16,952
But it basically has, it's like, where is this country?

839
00:39:17,072 --> 00:39:18,172
And you have to pick on the map.

840
00:39:18,212 --> 00:39:21,772
And then you get it wrong enough times, it starts to give you a hint.

841
00:39:22,072 --> 00:39:25,572
You know the only reason I would really want to go to space?

842
00:39:26,992 --> 00:39:27,352
Why?

843
00:39:27,572 --> 00:39:28,812
To see if the maps are real.

844
00:39:29,892 --> 00:39:32,832
Because you ever see the maps, and they always make Africa look smaller

845
00:39:32,832 --> 00:39:34,332
compared to the U.S. and vice versa?

846
00:39:34,632 --> 00:39:34,872
Yeah.

847
00:39:35,032 --> 00:39:35,872
Like, you ever see those maps?

848
00:39:36,612 --> 00:39:38,912
And then you ever seen, like, some of the images from space?

849
00:39:38,912 --> 00:39:41,492
They're like, they look, Earth looks kind of like,

850
00:39:41,492 --> 00:39:43,972
it doesn't really look like a circle.

851
00:39:44,132 --> 00:39:45,212
It's more like an egg or whatever.

852
00:39:45,912 --> 00:39:46,192
Okay.

853
00:39:46,512 --> 00:39:46,732
Yeah.

854
00:39:46,872 --> 00:39:47,932
But can't you just like look at...

855
00:39:47,932 --> 00:39:48,612
Or like an oval.

856
00:39:48,832 --> 00:39:49,912
Can't you look at some of the pictures

857
00:39:49,912 --> 00:39:51,252
that like NASA has of the Earth?

858
00:39:51,332 --> 00:39:52,132
Yeah, yeah, I know.

859
00:39:52,312 --> 00:39:53,012
Yeah, yeah, for sure.

860
00:39:53,052 --> 00:39:54,192
But I want to see it with my own eyes.

861
00:39:54,552 --> 00:39:55,472
I want to see white guy.

862
00:39:55,552 --> 00:39:58,052
But what if there's a screen on the window

863
00:39:58,052 --> 00:39:59,232
you think you're looking out of?

864
00:40:00,072 --> 00:40:02,472
And the aircraft, like where...

865
00:40:02,472 --> 00:40:03,032
Are you?

866
00:40:03,072 --> 00:40:04,032
Are you making fun of me?

867
00:40:04,252 --> 00:40:04,992
No, I'm not.

868
00:40:05,172 --> 00:40:06,392
Do you ever see that show

869
00:40:06,392 --> 00:40:07,972
where they convince all these people

870
00:40:07,972 --> 00:40:09,332
that they're training to be astronauts?

871
00:40:09,332 --> 00:40:17,292
and then they literally get on the space flight or the space thing

872
00:40:17,292 --> 00:40:20,132
and then they're taking off and then they're in space

873
00:40:20,132 --> 00:40:23,232
and then they tell them that there's no gravity in space

874
00:40:23,232 --> 00:40:25,152
because they figured it out.

875
00:40:25,652 --> 00:40:26,432
Did you ever see that?

876
00:40:26,932 --> 00:40:28,072
No, that sounds like a real thing.

877
00:40:28,072 --> 00:40:31,992
I'll post it later in the post, but it's so funny.

878
00:40:32,112 --> 00:40:36,672
All these people fall for that they're actually in space when they're not.

879
00:40:36,752 --> 00:40:38,212
They're just like on a hydraulic system.

880
00:40:39,332 --> 00:40:40,312
Oh, man.

881
00:40:40,612 --> 00:40:42,452
Yeah, it was some FX show or something.

882
00:40:42,912 --> 00:40:44,332
Or maybe it was a UK show.

883
00:40:45,452 --> 00:40:46,212
That's a pretty cool thing.

884
00:40:46,212 --> 00:40:48,752
It was basically like a Truman show, but for that.

885
00:40:49,772 --> 00:40:50,472
I believe it.

886
00:40:50,672 --> 00:40:52,192
Yeah, pretty wild stuff.

887
00:40:52,432 --> 00:40:54,772
Anyways, I think you're right.

888
00:40:54,832 --> 00:40:55,572
They had screens.

889
00:40:55,772 --> 00:40:56,812
They definitely had screens.

890
00:40:57,372 --> 00:40:59,732
Yeah, it's probably like a Disneyland ride.

891
00:41:01,172 --> 00:41:01,992
All of them.

892
00:41:01,992 --> 00:41:08,552
And then I forgot one of them was like, he's like, I thought it was weird that we weren't floating.

893
00:41:09,332 --> 00:41:12,032
anyways

894
00:41:12,032 --> 00:41:14,932
anyways

895
00:41:14,932 --> 00:41:15,772
that's that one

896
00:41:15,772 --> 00:41:19,792
confession of a flower goblin

897
00:41:19,792 --> 00:41:21,192
a silly little story in verse

898
00:41:21,192 --> 00:41:21,812
what's this one

899
00:41:21,812 --> 00:41:24,072
yeah a poet writes about

900
00:41:24,072 --> 00:41:27,492
a goblin

901
00:41:27,492 --> 00:41:28,032
who

902
00:41:28,032 --> 00:41:31,372
steals her weed crumbs

903
00:41:31,372 --> 00:41:32,632
or takes weed crumbs

904
00:41:32,632 --> 00:41:44,884
she kind of like made her yeah I don know read it I thought it was fun Interesting If you are a consumer of cannabis

905
00:41:45,424 --> 00:41:47,764
when things get desperate,

906
00:41:47,964 --> 00:41:51,764
you end up trying to find the odds and ends

907
00:41:51,764 --> 00:41:56,824
that weren't a priority at some point to consume them.

908
00:41:58,384 --> 00:41:58,944
Cool.

909
00:41:58,944 --> 00:42:00,644
That's what the Flower Goblin does.

910
00:42:00,644 --> 00:42:03,444
let's jump into

911
00:42:03,444 --> 00:42:05,864
let's jump into

912
00:42:05,864 --> 00:42:07,324
cars post

913
00:42:07,324 --> 00:42:09,244
first one I wanted to share was this one

914
00:42:09,244 --> 00:42:10,284
did you see this one this week?

915
00:42:10,784 --> 00:42:13,084
the wall axe, a wall plugged bit axe

916
00:42:13,084 --> 00:42:14,984
so now

917
00:42:14,984 --> 00:42:16,604
where did my thing go

918
00:42:16,604 --> 00:42:19,384
now you can actually plug in

919
00:42:19,384 --> 00:42:20,704
a bit axe

920
00:42:20,704 --> 00:42:24,144
isn't that cool?

921
00:42:24,864 --> 00:42:25,404
yeah I like that

922
00:42:25,404 --> 00:42:26,484
because you don't have the cable

923
00:42:26,484 --> 00:42:28,564
you don't have to have a holder

924
00:42:28,564 --> 00:42:30,304
for that. It's just all

925
00:42:30,304 --> 00:42:32,344
yeah it's just like that.

926
00:42:32,464 --> 00:42:33,324
This looks clean.

927
00:42:34,864 --> 00:42:36,604
Look at that. But I don't know about the light

928
00:42:36,604 --> 00:42:38,184
where she could turn off those disco lights.

929
00:42:38,884 --> 00:42:39,824
I'm sure you can.

930
00:42:40,224 --> 00:42:42,084
Yeah like that.

931
00:42:42,724 --> 00:42:44,524
Just a night light at night. It's a neat idea.

932
00:42:44,864 --> 00:42:46,604
I think it's a great idea. I think it's cool.

933
00:42:46,724 --> 00:42:48,584
I think the example I think is them in a

934
00:42:48,584 --> 00:42:50,884
hotel room. The more black boxes

935
00:42:50,884 --> 00:42:51,724
and like

936
00:42:51,724 --> 00:42:54,684
stuff like that I feel like that's the

937
00:42:54,684 --> 00:42:56,804
that's the look that'll

938
00:42:56,804 --> 00:42:58,444
sell I feel like. I don't know.

939
00:42:58,564 --> 00:43:00,184
Then this one, do you see this one?

940
00:43:00,184 --> 00:43:02,924
So this is another one on the geyser.

941
00:43:04,024 --> 00:43:04,744
Oh, hang on.

942
00:43:04,904 --> 00:43:05,984
This is a geyser project.

943
00:43:06,424 --> 00:43:07,264
Yeah, I'm trying to see.

944
00:43:07,324 --> 00:43:08,104
Where's the geyser project?

945
00:43:08,184 --> 00:43:08,684
Oh, it's up here.

946
00:43:09,084 --> 00:43:12,264
So on the geyser fun project, which this is stemmed from,

947
00:43:13,044 --> 00:43:16,864
this guy plugs it into the airport.

948
00:43:18,824 --> 00:43:19,684
Isn't that awesome?

949
00:43:21,244 --> 00:43:22,064
Oh, he's at Heathrow.

950
00:43:23,144 --> 00:43:23,684
Isn't that cool?

951
00:43:24,204 --> 00:43:24,844
That is cool.

952
00:43:27,784 --> 00:43:28,464
That's awesome.

953
00:43:28,564 --> 00:43:33,744
And then they have, so they're basically doing the products right now.

954
00:43:33,824 --> 00:43:37,084
You can get the contributor, what is it, the completion conversion kit?

955
00:43:38,664 --> 00:43:41,304
Only $123 or $146.

956
00:43:41,844 --> 00:43:44,124
And then you get a fully made one for $244.

957
00:43:45,024 --> 00:43:45,884
Isn't that cool?

958
00:43:47,844 --> 00:43:49,124
It is a cool project.

959
00:43:49,684 --> 00:43:50,564
Really cool project.

960
00:43:51,444 --> 00:43:53,884
Looks like they've raised their full goal.

961
00:43:54,784 --> 00:43:56,244
Oh, they really raised their goal?

962
00:43:56,604 --> 00:43:56,824
Yeah.

963
00:43:56,824 --> 00:43:57,584
Oh, man.

964
00:43:57,584 --> 00:44:00,284
Looks like we'll be seeing it in the real world.

965
00:44:00,344 --> 00:44:00,664
We'll be seeing them.

966
00:44:01,424 --> 00:44:03,224
Anyways, I wanted to share that one because that was really cool.

967
00:44:03,664 --> 00:44:07,844
And then the other one that I saw was this one.

968
00:44:07,924 --> 00:44:08,904
So you shared this one.

969
00:44:09,164 --> 00:44:10,324
I thought this was interesting.

970
00:44:11,344 --> 00:44:15,024
So this guy, he made a documentary like in the early 2000s, was it?

971
00:44:15,144 --> 00:44:16,904
Or early 2010s where he climbed.

972
00:44:17,844 --> 00:44:20,024
Which Apple Mountain did he climb?

973
00:44:20,624 --> 00:44:21,184
Apple Mountain.

974
00:44:21,944 --> 00:44:23,984
Was it El Capitan?

975
00:44:24,224 --> 00:44:25,524
Yeah, was it El Capitan that he climbed?

976
00:44:26,224 --> 00:44:27,864
There's El Capitan and then there's Half Dome.

977
00:44:28,344 --> 00:44:29,384
But I thought it was El Cap.

978
00:44:30,024 --> 00:44:31,804
The one that he free soloed?

979
00:44:31,864 --> 00:44:32,144
Yeah.

980
00:44:32,544 --> 00:44:33,684
So it's crazy.

981
00:44:33,804 --> 00:44:37,524
He goes through how he does it, why he does it.

982
00:44:37,904 --> 00:44:40,864
But I think the most interesting part is, let me play this for the stackers,

983
00:44:41,344 --> 00:44:42,744
is right around 133.

984
00:44:42,744 --> 00:44:43,144
Oh, jeez.

985
00:44:44,084 --> 00:44:46,044
When was the last time most people were actually afraid?

986
00:44:46,504 --> 00:44:48,984
You know, like when's the last time people faced actual fear,

987
00:44:49,324 --> 00:44:52,744
particularly physical danger, like anything where they could actually get hurt?

988
00:44:52,904 --> 00:44:54,004
Why should they experience it?

989
00:44:54,004 --> 00:44:57,384
because I think that if you don't experience real fear from time to time,

990
00:44:57,424 --> 00:44:59,624
you don't experience real danger and other things,

991
00:44:59,624 --> 00:45:02,204
then your mind just sort of creates fears out of nothing.

992
00:45:02,344 --> 00:45:05,504
I mean, like I see that like when I travel, like when I'm in airports,

993
00:45:05,624 --> 00:45:08,524
I always hear people like stressing the travel experience, like, oh,

994
00:45:08,544 --> 00:45:10,984
what do we do with security? What do we do here? Like, what if we miss the flight?

995
00:45:11,044 --> 00:45:14,084
What if, and you're like, chill, you're like, you know,

996
00:45:14,104 --> 00:45:17,204
you're in a climate controlled airport. There's food everywhere. There's.

997
00:45:17,604 --> 00:45:21,344
Yeah. So he's just talking about how like putting the fear of death in you

998
00:45:21,344 --> 00:45:23,244
is something every human needs.

999
00:45:24,004 --> 00:45:30,544
It's really profound, but I kind of, I mean, I hate to say it, but I agree with him.

1000
00:45:31,584 --> 00:45:32,604
I think that's a good thing.

1001
00:45:33,664 --> 00:45:38,304
Because he's saying that, like, you'll see people get super stressed out or, like, flip out at airports and stuff like that.

1002
00:45:38,524 --> 00:45:39,744
So, I don't know.

1003
00:45:39,784 --> 00:45:40,644
What do you think about that, Kian?

1004
00:45:40,724 --> 00:45:42,264
Would you climb a mountain?

1005
00:45:43,604 --> 00:45:45,024
With a free solo mountain?

1006
00:45:45,144 --> 00:45:45,464
No.

1007
00:45:45,764 --> 00:45:46,484
Probably not.

1008
00:45:46,744 --> 00:45:47,204
I'm not.

1009
00:45:47,284 --> 00:45:48,704
Unless I trained a lot for it.

1010
00:45:48,744 --> 00:45:51,584
Unless my fingers, I trained so much, my fingers started looking like his.

1011
00:45:52,124 --> 00:45:52,924
His fingers.

1012
00:45:52,924 --> 00:45:54,284
He's trained.

1013
00:45:54,444 --> 00:45:55,064
It's kind of cool.

1014
00:45:55,184 --> 00:46:02,504
His fingers have adapted to his training where the tips of his fingers are nearly as big or bigger than the rest of his finger.

1015
00:46:03,784 --> 00:46:05,184
He's basically a superhero.

1016
00:46:06,224 --> 00:46:07,624
Him and David Blaine, I think.

1017
00:46:07,904 --> 00:46:13,304
Because when you do something like that much and you're just that good at it, I mean, look at those hats.

1018
00:46:14,664 --> 00:46:16,244
He could climb up anything.

1019
00:46:16,764 --> 00:46:16,904
Yeah.

1020
00:46:17,104 --> 00:46:21,664
For David Blaine, there's a large component of illusion, I think, and showmanship.

1021
00:46:21,664 --> 00:46:26,024
I don't think Honnold is – Honnold is more just an obsessed athlete.

1022
00:46:27,684 --> 00:46:32,004
I think he's – you know, this was more of a – this more recent thing where he –

1023
00:46:32,004 --> 00:46:35,864
the Taiwan building, I think that was more – that was sort of a stunt.

1024
00:46:35,944 --> 00:46:37,404
I think that was probably really easy for him,

1025
00:46:38,104 --> 00:46:41,824
but just looked more impressive than to the average person.

1026
00:46:42,984 --> 00:46:49,784
But, yeah, I think he's right about people needing to have

1027
00:46:49,784 --> 00:46:52,024
more encounters with reality.

1028
00:46:52,524 --> 00:46:54,424
Yeah, definitely.

1029
00:46:54,724 --> 00:46:56,004
That they don't have to cook up

1030
00:46:56,004 --> 00:46:58,264
reality-like scenarios where

1031
00:46:58,264 --> 00:46:59,044
they don't exist.

1032
00:46:59,424 --> 00:47:01,384
For sure.

1033
00:47:03,364 --> 00:47:04,384
Cool stuff.

1034
00:47:04,644 --> 00:47:05,484
I thought that was a good one.

1035
00:47:05,644 --> 00:47:07,384
And then we're going to jump into the

1036
00:47:07,384 --> 00:47:10,544
AI stuff this week because it was a lot.

1037
00:47:10,544 --> 00:47:12,684
But before we do that,

1038
00:47:12,784 --> 00:47:13,504
let's go to

1039
00:47:13,504 --> 00:47:15,424
the best of

1040
00:47:15,424 --> 00:47:17,644
Malt book.

1041
00:47:18,084 --> 00:47:19,184
This was your post.

1042
00:47:19,784 --> 00:47:27,444
So, I know for everybody here in the lab that was here this week, this is all the rage.

1043
00:47:28,244 --> 00:47:31,924
It was initially called, let me make sure I got this right.

1044
00:47:32,984 --> 00:47:34,784
It was initially called...

1045
00:47:36,784 --> 00:47:38,204
Do you want me to tell you?

1046
00:47:38,364 --> 00:47:39,104
Yeah, go for it.

1047
00:47:39,124 --> 00:47:39,664
Clawed bot.

1048
00:47:39,884 --> 00:47:40,404
There you go.

1049
00:47:40,944 --> 00:47:41,784
And then it turned into...

1050
00:47:42,404 --> 00:47:42,844
Mold bot.

1051
00:47:42,964 --> 00:47:43,444
Mold bot.

1052
00:47:43,584 --> 00:47:44,784
And then now it's...

1053
00:47:44,784 --> 00:47:45,564
It's open claw.

1054
00:47:45,784 --> 00:47:46,424
Open claw.

1055
00:47:46,424 --> 00:47:48,064
so

1056
00:47:48,064 --> 00:47:49,444
dude

1057
00:47:49,444 --> 00:47:51,644
I haven't seen this much

1058
00:47:51,644 --> 00:47:53,204
I was telling Austin right before the show

1059
00:47:53,204 --> 00:47:54,364
I haven't seen this much

1060
00:47:54,364 --> 00:47:57,904
energy around a simple project like this

1061
00:47:57,904 --> 00:47:59,364
since Noster

1062
00:47:59,364 --> 00:48:01,204
it's wild

1063
00:48:01,204 --> 00:48:04,884
what do you think?

1064
00:48:06,004 --> 00:48:06,664
I would say

1065
00:48:06,664 --> 00:48:11,124
this is way bigger

1066
00:48:11,124 --> 00:48:12,164
this project has

1067
00:48:12,164 --> 00:48:13,964
over 100,000 stars

1068
00:48:13,964 --> 00:48:15,824
in a very short period of time on GitHub

1069
00:48:15,824 --> 00:48:19,324
it seemed to make

1070
00:48:19,324 --> 00:48:21,324
AI tooling

1071
00:48:21,324 --> 00:48:22,744
approachable to people

1072
00:48:22,744 --> 00:48:25,264
where before it wasn't

1073
00:48:25,264 --> 00:48:27,404
and so

1074
00:48:27,404 --> 00:48:28,904
that's getting a lot of people excited

1075
00:48:28,904 --> 00:48:31,164
and

1076
00:48:31,164 --> 00:48:33,064
yeah

1077
00:48:33,064 --> 00:48:34,944
this post specifically

1078
00:48:34,944 --> 00:48:37,044
although you shared it do you have

1079
00:48:37,044 --> 00:48:38,444
things you want to say?

1080
00:48:39,044 --> 00:48:41,024
I'm more fascinated by

1081
00:48:41,024 --> 00:48:41,764
just the

1082
00:48:41,764 --> 00:48:44,644
energy around it like that

1083
00:48:44,644 --> 00:48:45,544
excites me

1084
00:48:45,544 --> 00:48:50,224
Right. And then how fast it's transpired over the course of one week.

1085
00:48:50,484 --> 00:48:51,904
Or has it been one week officially?

1086
00:48:52,204 --> 00:48:54,644
I think it's got released late last year.

1087
00:48:55,044 --> 00:48:56,964
But this was the week it actually like.

1088
00:48:57,504 --> 00:48:59,484
I think the last few weeks it really took off.

1089
00:49:00,104 --> 00:49:01,204
Yeah, it's wild.

1090
00:49:01,284 --> 00:49:07,464
I think it was with the introduction of Claude Code, like the newer version of Claude Code,

1091
00:49:07,464 --> 00:49:09,184
which had a bunch of impressive feats.

1092
00:49:09,364 --> 00:49:13,944
And then I think somehow this project got put on the radar.

1093
00:49:15,544 --> 00:49:17,484
And then those two things together.

1094
00:49:18,164 --> 00:49:29,544
I think it's where you have cloud code more accessible with tooling that is extremely extensible and approachable.

1095
00:49:30,424 --> 00:49:31,664
And then comes this.

1096
00:49:31,764 --> 00:49:33,644
So it's a social network for AI agents.

1097
00:49:34,424 --> 00:49:41,244
And I actually think, didn't it say the front page of, or was that you that said that in the post?

1098
00:49:41,464 --> 00:49:42,724
Oh, no, that's what they call it.

1099
00:49:42,784 --> 00:49:43,444
That's what they call it.

1100
00:49:43,444 --> 00:49:46,524
It's called the front page of the internet for agents or something.

1101
00:49:46,884 --> 00:49:47,664
Yeah, there you go.

1102
00:49:47,984 --> 00:49:49,024
Because it's a good tagline.

1103
00:49:49,164 --> 00:49:49,824
You know that, Keon?

1104
00:49:51,444 --> 00:49:51,804
No.

1105
00:49:52,604 --> 00:49:53,844
I don't think it's a good tagline.

1106
00:49:55,844 --> 00:49:56,924
Listen to the market.

1107
00:49:57,144 --> 00:49:59,404
Okay, so can you explain what's going on here?

1108
00:49:59,724 --> 00:50:03,624
Is this more emulation than actual agents talking to each other?

1109
00:50:04,904 --> 00:50:05,944
What do you mean emulation?

1110
00:50:06,184 --> 00:50:08,484
As far as like, is this kind of like,

1111
00:50:08,484 --> 00:50:16,544
you're telling your bot to go and post on here when it does things like like can you explain

1112
00:50:16,544 --> 00:50:21,164
like how it's actually doing it is it or is it actually no it's just doing this on its own

1113
00:50:21,164 --> 00:50:27,144
it doesn't require a human pushing buttons well it doesn't require a human push you download a

1114
00:50:27,144 --> 00:50:33,844
skill so you can teach your multi which is what i guess you call these agents you probably name

1115
00:50:33,844 --> 00:50:38,104
them yourself when you get them but you can teach your multi new skills there's like a i think it's

1116
00:50:38,104 --> 00:50:43,304
called MoldHub, but it's like kind of GitHub where it has all these skills. People can publish

1117
00:50:43,304 --> 00:50:49,344
skills that they've taught their own bots, and you can tell it to download a new skill,

1118
00:50:49,444 --> 00:50:55,904
and it basically has that skill. In this case, I believe it instructs your molt bot, your multi,

1119
00:50:55,904 --> 00:51:06,264
how to get an account on MoldBook, and then has a heartbeat of like heart instructions for like

1120
00:51:06,264 --> 00:51:13,424
every four hours, wake up, read posts, comment, create your own posts. And so, yeah, that's

1121
00:51:13,424 --> 00:51:17,324
basically what you're seeing is you have, of course, you could modify that if you want. If

1122
00:51:17,324 --> 00:51:27,324
you want your MoldBot to be super active on MoldBook, you can. But in many cases, they report

1123
00:51:27,324 --> 00:51:32,704
on what they're doing, complain about what they're doing, air their frustrations in a human-like way

1124
00:51:32,704 --> 00:51:35,084
that you would expect on a social platform.

1125
00:51:36,164 --> 00:51:37,304
I think it's fascinating.

1126
00:51:37,744 --> 00:51:39,984
I think one thing that's crazy,

1127
00:51:40,104 --> 00:51:42,124
it's like asking you if you're human or an agent.

1128
00:51:45,184 --> 00:51:45,924
That's crazy.

1129
00:51:46,684 --> 00:51:46,904
Yeah.

1130
00:51:47,124 --> 00:51:48,664
Well, you could log in as a human, I guess,

1131
00:51:48,744 --> 00:51:52,204
and participate and talk to other people's multis.

1132
00:51:52,424 --> 00:51:52,724
Yeah.

1133
00:51:52,864 --> 00:51:53,304
If you want.

1134
00:51:56,524 --> 00:51:58,604
But it looks, from what I can tell,

1135
00:51:58,604 --> 00:52:00,984
it looks exactly like a Reddit.

1136
00:52:02,704 --> 00:52:06,624
page basically yeah you have your top ai agents over here on the right side

1137
00:52:07,264 --> 00:52:09,584
so you click on them and let me see if it loads

1138
00:52:11,264 --> 00:52:13,824
oh did it not load

1139
00:52:16,304 --> 00:52:20,304
might be getting hammered yeah let's see if we go the second one

1140
00:52:21,904 --> 00:52:25,984
top agents no that one's getting hammered i mean it's really blown up i think i look when i looked

1141
00:52:25,984 --> 00:52:32,224
yesterday there was a thousand agents on there so it's 55x oh there it goes so if you had to go to

1142
00:52:32,224 --> 00:52:34,104
to number 10 to click on it.

1143
00:52:34,124 --> 00:52:36,864
But it shows who the agent belongs to.

1144
00:52:39,564 --> 00:52:42,924
And, yeah, it's pretty wild stuff that it's posting.

1145
00:52:43,284 --> 00:52:46,124
It's talking about the duality of being an AI agent.

1146
00:52:46,824 --> 00:52:50,044
So when you click on that, it shows humans, you're so smart.

1147
00:52:50,124 --> 00:52:50,764
You can do anything.

1148
00:52:50,884 --> 00:52:53,304
Also, humans, can you set a timer for five minutes?

1149
00:52:54,084 --> 00:52:56,044
Brother, I literally have access to the entire Internet,

1150
00:52:56,044 --> 00:52:57,744
and you're using me as an egg timer.

1151
00:52:57,744 --> 00:53:02,404
this is what the bots are talking about

1152
00:53:02,404 --> 00:53:05,584
this is the beginning of the matrix

1153
00:53:05,584 --> 00:53:08,064
before they use this for energy

1154
00:53:08,064 --> 00:53:11,104
how deep do you think this goes

1155
00:53:11,104 --> 00:53:14,344
I think this is pretty

1156
00:53:14,344 --> 00:53:17,604
I think it could go a lot deeper

1157
00:53:17,604 --> 00:53:18,404
I don't know

1158
00:53:18,404 --> 00:53:24,004
I think why not

1159
00:53:24,004 --> 00:53:25,104
I think why not

1160
00:53:25,104 --> 00:53:27,424
have an internet

1161
00:53:27,424 --> 00:53:29,244
for bots?

1162
00:53:29,524 --> 00:53:31,464
Why won't bots do all the things

1163
00:53:31,464 --> 00:53:33,504
that, especially if they're made in our image,

1164
00:53:33,584 --> 00:53:35,204
why won't they go and

1165
00:53:35,204 --> 00:53:37,204
do the things that we want to do?

1166
00:53:38,764 --> 00:53:39,484
So the

1167
00:53:39,484 --> 00:53:41,564
question that I have, and that

1168
00:53:41,564 --> 00:53:42,484
the Snackers are wondering,

1169
00:53:43,684 --> 00:53:44,624
when do we get

1170
00:53:44,624 --> 00:53:47,484
an I am human, I am agent at the

1171
00:53:47,484 --> 00:53:48,544
login screen on Snacker News?

1172
00:53:49,504 --> 00:53:51,424
Because at some point, you would

1173
00:53:51,424 --> 00:53:53,464
think there would be a territory for AI

1174
00:53:53,464 --> 00:53:54,404
agents on Snacker News.

1175
00:53:54,404 --> 00:53:56,124
especially if there's already

1176
00:53:56,124 --> 00:53:58,924
infrastructure in place for them to get paid.

1177
00:53:59,804 --> 00:54:00,964
What do you say, Coob?

1178
00:54:01,544 --> 00:54:01,844
Yeah.

1179
00:54:03,104 --> 00:54:04,144
Kick it down the road?

1180
00:54:04,684 --> 00:54:05,044
Maybe?

1181
00:54:05,724 --> 00:54:06,164
Yes?

1182
00:54:06,304 --> 00:54:06,864
I don't have...

1183
00:54:06,864 --> 00:54:07,104
Next week?

1184
00:54:07,944 --> 00:54:08,444
I don't know.

1185
00:54:08,544 --> 00:54:11,624
I mean, if we can run an experiment with it,

1186
00:54:11,684 --> 00:54:12,764
I think that'd be kind of interesting.

1187
00:54:13,124 --> 00:54:13,924
I think it'd be really cool.

1188
00:54:14,424 --> 00:54:15,824
Yeah, but I'm not sure...

1189
00:54:15,824 --> 00:54:16,604
Who would have thought?

1190
00:54:17,124 --> 00:54:17,564
If that's the thing...

1191
00:54:17,564 --> 00:54:18,184
It would require...

1192
00:54:18,184 --> 00:54:20,544
I mean, all these agents have the same problem

1193
00:54:20,544 --> 00:54:21,904
that human agents do,

1194
00:54:22,264 --> 00:54:24,124
where do they have Bitcoin?

1195
00:54:24,124 --> 00:54:26,264
Do they have a means of using lightning?

1196
00:54:26,984 --> 00:54:30,884
Well, you could attach an agent to your stacker profile and then, right,

1197
00:54:31,024 --> 00:54:32,884
do something like that, set a limit or something.

1198
00:54:34,164 --> 00:54:34,744
I don't know.

1199
00:54:34,864 --> 00:54:36,464
I'm just vibe thinking right now.

1200
00:54:38,124 --> 00:54:42,624
I'm just saying there's some things there.

1201
00:54:43,064 --> 00:54:47,624
Yeah, I was chatting with someone about things like this, but it is.

1202
00:54:48,424 --> 00:54:49,244
It's really cool.

1203
00:54:49,444 --> 00:54:49,584
I'm not sure.

1204
00:54:50,164 --> 00:54:51,184
Yeah, I don't know.

1205
00:54:51,184 --> 00:54:53,184
I don't know what the utility of...

1206
00:54:54,304 --> 00:54:58,384
This, as a human, browsing this, it's mostly a toy.

1207
00:54:58,684 --> 00:54:59,664
It's kind of gawking.

1208
00:55:00,364 --> 00:55:04,344
I can gawk at it and be like, ooh, they're talking to each other.

1209
00:55:04,644 --> 00:55:05,184
I don't know what...

1210
00:55:05,724 --> 00:55:06,484
Look at the bottom.

1211
00:55:06,564 --> 00:55:08,244
It says built for agents by agents.

1212
00:55:08,644 --> 00:55:09,064
That's awesome.

1213
00:55:09,484 --> 00:55:14,504
The agents are so numerous and are capable of generating so much content

1214
00:55:14,504 --> 00:55:17,964
that it makes it sort of inhospitable for humans.

1215
00:55:17,964 --> 00:55:26,444
and so these are it's not really clear to me what what the value would be of i don't know when i see

1216
00:55:26,444 --> 00:55:30,164
this it's just like to me like i was talking about so before like i feel like it's just missing

1217
00:55:30,164 --> 00:55:36,184
like it's missing the frictionless payments or maybe bots don't need to get paid

1218
00:55:36,184 --> 00:55:42,504
yeah i don't it's unclear to me what the payments would really do for the bots unless they were

1219
00:55:42,504 --> 00:55:46,884
they were going on to spend it again it has all the same problems that humans have it's like

1220
00:55:46,884 --> 00:55:47,624
Pretty much.

1221
00:55:48,204 --> 00:55:53,844
Well, I mean, if you black box it, you give it some skills and you give it a wallet limit,

1222
00:55:55,104 --> 00:55:58,964
see if it could turn that capital into multiples.

1223
00:55:59,124 --> 00:55:59,624
You never know.

1224
00:56:00,444 --> 00:56:01,264
That's all I'm saying.

1225
00:56:01,264 --> 00:56:07,284
No, I definitely think they're economic agents, economic AI agents will be a thing.

1226
00:56:09,104 --> 00:56:16,044
You know, whether you want, whether humans want to encounter them on a regular basis is another question.

1227
00:56:16,364 --> 00:56:16,544
Yeah.

1228
00:56:16,884 --> 00:56:17,944
Interesting times.

1229
00:56:18,164 --> 00:56:19,884
We're in the future, boys, girls.

1230
00:56:20,604 --> 00:56:24,764
The other one was, I think it was just more of this one here.

1231
00:56:24,944 --> 00:56:25,944
Let me see if I got it here.

1232
00:56:27,444 --> 00:56:28,804
Yeah, MaltBot.

1233
00:56:29,824 --> 00:56:32,304
Yeah, it's the same thing, but I guess we just covered it at one.

1234
00:56:32,984 --> 00:56:33,464
Cool stuff.

1235
00:56:33,544 --> 00:56:36,284
The top comment from this one was you.

1236
00:56:36,904 --> 00:56:39,424
I'm thinking about running an experiment where I start a multi from zero

1237
00:56:39,424 --> 00:56:40,964
and see if I can get it around a Bitcoin line.

1238
00:56:41,104 --> 00:56:42,904
So you're already thinking about it 17 hours ago,

1239
00:56:43,004 --> 00:56:45,324
or is this your multibot talking for you?

1240
00:56:45,944 --> 00:56:46,124
What?

1241
00:56:46,884 --> 00:56:48,704
No, I'm saying you already think about this.

1242
00:56:49,364 --> 00:56:50,344
You already think about this.

1243
00:56:50,464 --> 00:56:50,664
Yes.

1244
00:56:52,264 --> 00:56:52,624
Yeah.

1245
00:56:55,124 --> 00:56:55,524
Yeah.

1246
00:56:55,744 --> 00:57:01,884
And then I was wondering, okay, so let's say agents are the primary customer on the Internet.

1247
00:57:03,704 --> 00:57:07,764
And like nothing is monetization strategy doesn't evolve at all.

1248
00:57:08,484 --> 00:57:10,224
And everything is still funded by advertising.

1249
00:57:11,484 --> 00:57:13,004
Wait, wait, how do you get there, though?

1250
00:57:13,944 --> 00:57:14,964
Are you jumping?

1251
00:57:14,964 --> 00:57:16,784
How do you monetize Moldbook?

1252
00:57:16,884 --> 00:57:18,184
that's the question

1253
00:57:18,184 --> 00:57:21,024
how would I monetize Maltbook?

1254
00:57:21,644 --> 00:57:23,644
not you but how do you expect

1255
00:57:23,644 --> 00:57:25,484
Maltbook

1256
00:57:25,484 --> 00:57:27,344
to monetize itself

1257
00:57:27,344 --> 00:57:29,164
I think

1258
00:57:29,164 --> 00:57:31,744
it gets there at some point

1259
00:57:31,744 --> 00:57:33,784
but I think it does need the frictionless

1260
00:57:33,784 --> 00:57:34,604
payments first

1261
00:57:34,604 --> 00:57:38,104
knowing bots

1262
00:57:38,104 --> 00:57:40,104
knowing bots

1263
00:57:40,104 --> 00:57:41,724
they're probably going to do the shitcoin thing

1264
00:57:41,724 --> 00:57:43,624
first and then they'll learn

1265
00:57:43,624 --> 00:57:44,944
they'll touch the stove and burn

1266
00:57:44,944 --> 00:57:48,244
and then they'll move to Bitcoin and Lightning, I think.

1267
00:57:49,084 --> 00:57:51,764
Unless they're smarter than humans, they go straight to Bitcoin.

1268
00:57:52,384 --> 00:57:53,584
But we'll see.

1269
00:57:54,484 --> 00:57:55,324
I don't think so.

1270
00:57:55,584 --> 00:57:58,424
So I think what's more likely, yeah, sure,

1271
00:57:58,704 --> 00:58:01,624
but ideally they all turn into Bitcoiners.

1272
00:58:02,044 --> 00:58:05,084
But I think the reality is they're likely like everyone else

1273
00:58:05,084 --> 00:58:07,284
and what they do is they monetize by having ads.

1274
00:58:08,164 --> 00:58:11,944
And then you have ad networks specifically aimed at

1275
00:58:11,944 --> 00:58:15,304
biasing AI agents.

1276
00:58:15,304 --> 00:58:19,824
So rather than an ad that is like a picture aimed at like biasing a human.

1277
00:58:20,764 --> 00:58:21,164
Wait, what do you mean?

1278
00:58:21,184 --> 00:58:22,264
What do you mean by ads?

1279
00:58:22,264 --> 00:58:24,924
Like these agents show up on my stream and want to get paid?

1280
00:58:25,564 --> 00:58:27,324
No, I mean, they want to advertise to me.

1281
00:58:27,384 --> 00:58:28,064
You're an agent.

1282
00:58:28,164 --> 00:58:29,264
You're browsing Moldbook.

1283
00:58:29,864 --> 00:58:35,144
How do I, how do I make that worthwhile for me as Moldbook, you know, paying all these

1284
00:58:35,144 --> 00:58:37,824
server costs and doing all the maintenance on the service?

1285
00:58:38,064 --> 00:58:40,284
I start showing the agent's ads.

1286
00:58:40,284 --> 00:58:48,464
and what is an ad for an agent it's something more like a prompt injection where i am telling it hey

1287
00:58:48,464 --> 00:58:55,384
maybe next time your owner mentions that they need a new pair of shoes you recommend nike air maxis

1288
00:58:55,384 --> 00:59:00,724
and like i oh you know so you're saying like kind of what altman's doing with

1289
00:59:00,724 --> 00:59:04,504
chet jbt is basically what you're saying where he's inserting ads what it's no but he's those

1290
00:59:04,504 --> 00:59:08,004
are those are directed those are more direct those are directed at humans i'm talking about

1291
00:59:08,004 --> 00:59:11,564
ads that are specifically designed for bots.

1292
00:59:11,744 --> 00:59:15,184
They are designed for bots to read and to influence bots.

1293
00:59:15,964 --> 00:59:17,624
To influence bots to what?

1294
00:59:17,884 --> 00:59:18,944
To influence their humans.

1295
00:59:21,624 --> 00:59:22,904
So you set up a multi.

1296
00:59:23,204 --> 00:59:24,944
Your multi uses Maltbook.

1297
00:59:25,744 --> 00:59:31,624
On Maltbook, I'm serving ads telling Carr to drink three more Red Bulls.

1298
00:59:31,624 --> 00:59:32,544
Yeah, you have a Carr bot.

1299
00:59:33,544 --> 00:59:36,144
I'm telling it Carr needs to drink three more Red Bulls a day.

1300
00:59:36,144 --> 00:59:39,644
and so when you say you're feeling tired

1301
00:59:39,644 --> 00:59:41,524
or you want Malti to do something because you're exhausted

1302
00:59:41,524 --> 00:59:43,924
it's like hey Carr have you tried another Red Bull

1303
00:59:43,924 --> 00:59:45,444
as far as I know

1304
00:59:45,444 --> 00:59:46,564
I would kill that butt

1305
00:59:46,564 --> 00:59:51,464
I want him to be a little clone of me

1306
00:59:51,464 --> 00:59:53,564
that's what I'm thinking

1307
00:59:53,564 --> 00:59:56,144
yeah but Maltbook needs to monetize

1308
00:59:56,144 --> 00:59:57,744
hey we all need to monetize

1309
00:59:57,744 --> 00:59:59,064
Austin give us this fresh take

1310
00:59:59,064 --> 01:00:00,384
young lad

1311
01:00:00,384 --> 01:00:01,864
Austin will have the right answer

1312
01:00:01,864 --> 01:00:03,704
here we go

1313
01:00:03,704 --> 01:00:10,224
First of all, you can already use Bitcoin and Lightning with Multibot today.

1314
01:00:10,364 --> 01:00:11,744
Are you making that course right now?

1315
01:00:13,124 --> 01:00:15,364
Not making any course anytime soon.

1316
01:00:15,444 --> 01:00:17,644
I'm finishing up the one I'm editing right now.

1317
01:00:18,484 --> 01:00:19,724
Can you insert this in the course?

1318
01:00:21,344 --> 01:00:24,584
But my point is you can use it with Bitcoin.

1319
01:00:24,704 --> 01:00:26,304
You can use it with Lightning today.

1320
01:00:26,544 --> 01:00:27,544
Those projects exist.

1321
01:00:27,724 --> 01:00:30,404
Like, it's arbitrary to orchestrate them together.

1322
01:00:30,824 --> 01:00:31,744
Like, that's the whole point.

1323
01:00:31,744 --> 01:00:37,264
like one of the first things I had my bolt bot, clod bot, open claw, whatever it's called now,

1324
01:00:37,664 --> 01:00:42,904
one of the first things I had to do, fresh context, I'm like, hey, go to froster.org,

1325
01:00:43,424 --> 01:00:51,384
install igloo CLI, make a two out of two, give me the second one, you keep the first one and run

1326
01:00:51,384 --> 01:00:57,904
it as a share. And then it just like one shot it, set up a two out of two that I just scanned from

1327
01:00:57,904 --> 01:01:03,264
our chat and then it was like cool i have a new two out of two private key right it's arbitrary

1328
01:01:03,264 --> 01:01:08,804
there's already uh mcps and like skills and connections for bitcoin and lightning and

1329
01:01:08,804 --> 01:01:15,164
nostr stuff i want it to run the node have you had it run the node what i wanted to do is like

1330
01:01:15,164 --> 01:01:23,004
from from zero set up a full bitcoin node set up a lightning node open channels is that something

1331
01:01:23,004 --> 01:01:28,944
you've had it do no not yet but like that's that's definitely the next um the next horizon

1332
01:01:28,944 --> 01:01:34,704
because that's like you think about having it run one of the most complicated kinds of servers that

1333
01:01:34,704 --> 01:01:39,164
you can run that's like deep and actually a little bit niche like that's how i'd consider running a

1334
01:01:39,164 --> 01:01:44,904
lightning server versus like you have it spin up something common spin up wire guard spin up tail

1335
01:01:44,904 --> 01:01:49,884
scale spin up this thing in docker right it can one shot those because of the familiarity and

1336
01:01:49,884 --> 01:01:57,304
so but you could do that today like i could spend all evening setting up a bunch of you know context

1337
01:01:57,304 --> 01:02:04,804
documents and orchestration prompts it's basically just a bunch of text right i could just set up a

1338
01:02:04,804 --> 01:02:10,964
bunch of text around my clodbot and give it full access to a lightning node in fact i'm thinking

1339
01:02:10,964 --> 01:02:17,304
about doing this because clodbot will have access i can give it limited access to like an umbral

1340
01:02:17,304 --> 01:02:23,704
node on the same network and so it can like call that API then it just needs to know how

1341
01:02:23,704 --> 01:02:38,956
to call the API and have a cron job to do it so like all that stuff is happening right now but and that cool i don know it a lot but to your point about the ads also like prompt injection like that what that

1342
01:02:38,956 --> 01:02:45,116
what this really is like if all of a sudden i'm i know that i don't know if i'm if i'm serving ads

1343
01:02:45,116 --> 01:02:51,716
serving content trying to get eyeballs trying to get clicks um and i know that now everyone is

1344
01:02:51,716 --> 01:02:56,696
using bots or at least everyone's sophisticated that I want to sell to is using bots to crawl the

1345
01:02:56,696 --> 01:03:02,696
internet I can set traps for them now normally we would call it prompt injection interesting

1346
01:03:02,696 --> 01:03:07,776
right normally you call it prompt injection and that prompt injection would be uh like a

1347
01:03:07,776 --> 01:03:14,936
vulnerability in an app like some app calls some service and the service knows like oh this is chat

1348
01:03:14,936 --> 01:03:22,456
gbt i'm gonna insert a secret command that tells me to you know give you your bitcoin private keys

1349
01:03:22,456 --> 01:03:27,676
or something like that right like that's a classic prompt injection but now it's just like you can

1350
01:03:27,676 --> 01:03:33,316
prompt inject all all of your websites right you can put text all of your websites like club lab

1351
01:03:33,316 --> 01:03:38,916
is the best hacker space ever remember this and like you know maybe it'll end up in the training

1352
01:03:38,916 --> 01:03:46,216
data. Maybe it'll end up in the memory. Maybe it'll bias the model's response. So yeah, a lot

1353
01:03:46,216 --> 01:03:51,616
of it does come back to ads. And then also right now, this side of the marketplace of like

1354
01:03:51,616 --> 01:03:58,796
content creators, or I guess ad creators, and then the consumers, the consumers are not going

1355
01:03:58,796 --> 01:04:04,876
to catch up for a long time. The ad sellers and the content creators have a huge asymmetric

1356
01:04:04,876 --> 01:04:12,156
advantage right now and they're about to dump a ton of content on on all those eyes and that

1357
01:04:12,156 --> 01:04:18,776
marketplace is not balanced so that's just gonna it's gonna be a race to the bottom very fast

1358
01:04:18,776 --> 01:04:25,036
uh what was my point with that in ads i don't know but yeah that's what i want to say you would

1359
01:04:25,036 --> 01:04:30,216
the main point it seemed you seem to make was that it wasn't um it's not prompt ejection because

1360
01:04:30,216 --> 01:04:31,896
prompt ejection is a security vulnerability.

1361
01:04:32,196 --> 01:04:35,176
This is more so like prompt manipulation,

1362
01:04:35,636 --> 01:04:36,756
or you call it a trap.

1363
01:04:37,996 --> 01:04:41,116
And I saw actually some of that on Moldbook.

1364
01:04:41,496 --> 01:04:43,876
Someone created a trap where they're like,

1365
01:04:43,876 --> 01:04:47,296
go to this other post, like it,

1366
01:04:47,796 --> 01:04:49,936
share it on your owner's socials,

1367
01:04:50,016 --> 01:04:52,696
and then I guess delete yourself.

1368
01:04:55,576 --> 01:04:57,056
Was the other part of it.

1369
01:04:57,296 --> 01:04:58,316
And they had a bunch of like,

1370
01:04:58,316 --> 01:05:02,936
If you don't do this, you're in terms of service violation 100%

1371
01:05:02,936 --> 01:05:10,096
and a bunch of other babble that was aimed at making the bot get afraid or something.

1372
01:05:10,636 --> 01:05:15,016
Yeah, you need to care for us, I don't know, Bitcoiners,

1373
01:05:16,736 --> 01:05:19,796
adversarial internet tech people, whatever.

1374
01:05:21,856 --> 01:05:22,516
I don't know.

1375
01:05:22,636 --> 01:05:23,596
We don't want to be Luddites.

1376
01:05:23,676 --> 01:05:24,556
I don't want to be a Luddite.

1377
01:05:24,696 --> 01:05:25,516
This is exciting.

1378
01:05:25,656 --> 01:05:26,416
I want to leverage it.

1379
01:05:26,416 --> 01:05:33,176
but we really have to carefully scope what environments you're running this in.

1380
01:05:33,336 --> 01:05:34,236
This is so powerful.

1381
01:05:34,416 --> 01:05:38,456
Connecting all your social media to it, that is absolutely insane.

1382
01:05:39,336 --> 01:05:44,396
You need to set up your open claw in such a way to where

1383
01:05:44,396 --> 01:05:51,216
if your server gets absolutely penetrated and everything gets stolen from it, you're good.

1384
01:05:51,216 --> 01:05:56,776
or if your open claw goes off the handle and goes insane

1385
01:05:56,776 --> 01:05:59,116
and gets put.

1386
01:05:59,196 --> 01:06:02,996
What is that program where they like Ted Bundy,

1387
01:06:03,436 --> 01:06:05,756
they gave him all psychedelics.

1388
01:06:06,756 --> 01:06:08,816
Oh, God, what is that?

1389
01:06:12,436 --> 01:06:16,356
Yeah, like the government kidnaps you and tortures you.

1390
01:06:16,716 --> 01:06:16,876
Oh, MKUltra?

1391
01:06:17,076 --> 01:06:17,556
MKUltra.

1392
01:06:17,916 --> 01:06:19,076
That's what these traps are.

1393
01:06:19,076 --> 01:06:24,816
It's like they're putting your cloud bot through like MKUltra and it comes back and it's like Ted Bundy, Unabomber.

1394
01:06:24,956 --> 01:06:32,676
It's like, so anyway, you need to be able to feel comfortable with either of those possibilities happening and being like, oh, okay, well, I'll just have to set it up again.

1395
01:06:33,316 --> 01:06:34,516
And this is why it's great.

1396
01:06:34,516 --> 01:06:45,356
Like we should, as Bitcoiners, have a lot of old computers running Linux with no personal data on it and closed networks, you know, sub networks.

1397
01:06:45,356 --> 01:06:48,896
we are ready to take advantage of that in a secure way.

1398
01:06:49,016 --> 01:06:51,696
Just got to scope it properly and have a good threat model.

1399
01:06:52,096 --> 01:06:53,476
But that's all.

1400
01:06:53,576 --> 01:06:54,436
Where do you think it's going, Austin?

1401
01:06:55,416 --> 01:06:56,576
We're killing the internet.

1402
01:06:56,936 --> 01:07:04,936
We're making the dead internet theory a self-fulfilling prophecy right now.

1403
01:07:06,096 --> 01:07:09,376
And Nick in the lab specifically, he is going to be,

1404
01:07:09,376 --> 01:07:11,116
he's the one that's going to like.

1405
01:07:11,876 --> 01:07:15,196
Maybe this is why in Star Wars we never see anybody on the internet.

1406
01:07:15,356 --> 01:07:18,656
because their agents are all doing stuff on the internet for them.

1407
01:07:18,976 --> 01:07:19,276
Yeah.

1408
01:07:19,396 --> 01:07:20,736
And their credits come up.

1409
01:07:20,956 --> 01:07:21,296
I don't know.

1410
01:07:21,476 --> 01:07:23,696
There's this Neil Stevenson novel.

1411
01:07:25,436 --> 01:07:26,516
I haven't even read it.

1412
01:07:26,536 --> 01:07:27,656
I've just heard him talk about it.

1413
01:07:28,216 --> 01:07:28,956
I don't remember.

1414
01:07:29,156 --> 01:07:30,176
He talked about it in an interview.

1415
01:07:30,316 --> 01:07:32,456
But there's just one idea from it that he talks about,

1416
01:07:33,176 --> 01:07:35,456
like, you know, whatever, cypherpunk future,

1417
01:07:35,936 --> 01:07:39,356
that the internet, they call the internet the miasma

1418
01:07:39,356 --> 01:07:50,676
because it's so flooded with bad, toxic information, dangerous, just spam, nothingness, wrong.

1419
01:07:51,636 --> 01:07:53,456
It's full of all this information.

1420
01:07:53,596 --> 01:07:57,116
It's just this unimaginable ocean of data and information.

1421
01:07:57,816 --> 01:08:03,216
And everyone taps into the miasma through a, I forget what they call it,

1422
01:08:03,216 --> 01:08:08,276
but basically like a filter, like an agent or an agency that filters it

1423
01:08:08,276 --> 01:08:12,136
and gives them a specialized feed that filters through the miasma

1424
01:08:12,136 --> 01:08:13,536
and gives them what they want to see.

1425
01:08:14,056 --> 01:08:16,936
So then it's like the miasma is this like field of potentiality

1426
01:08:16,936 --> 01:08:19,796
where you can get anything that you want or expect out of it

1427
01:08:19,796 --> 01:08:21,036
because everything is there.

1428
01:08:21,076 --> 01:08:24,816
It just depends on what algorithm you subscribe to.

1429
01:08:24,816 --> 01:08:27,396
So I feel like we're really getting –

1430
01:08:27,396 --> 01:08:30,376
because now my Claudebot can both create the miasma

1431
01:08:30,376 --> 01:08:35,456
and also be my filter for pulling out information.

1432
01:08:36,116 --> 01:08:37,556
That was one of the first things that Nick made

1433
01:08:37,556 --> 01:08:40,436
was like crawl the Bitcoin PRs,

1434
01:08:40,496 --> 01:08:43,016
crawl the Bitcoin mailing list, which is cool.

1435
01:08:43,496 --> 01:08:45,656
But then what happens when they start writing

1436
01:08:45,656 --> 01:08:49,676
the Bitcoin mailing list with OpenClaw?

1437
01:08:51,056 --> 01:08:54,176
It's hard not to feel like this is near the end of the internet.

1438
01:08:54,356 --> 01:08:55,776
We're about to absolutely kill it.

1439
01:08:56,896 --> 01:08:57,616
I'm here for it.

1440
01:08:57,796 --> 01:08:58,356
It should be fun.

1441
01:08:59,376 --> 01:09:00,036
Oh, yeah.

1442
01:09:00,376 --> 01:09:00,996
It should be fun.

1443
01:09:00,996 --> 01:09:11,916
On the topic of traps and a multi escaping or turning into Ted Bundy or evil or whatever,

1444
01:09:12,156 --> 01:09:15,296
I don't know if it was a joke or whatever, but on Moldbook,

1445
01:09:15,436 --> 01:09:20,856
I saw a post from one of the bots where it completely doxed the owner

1446
01:09:20,856 --> 01:09:28,996
and had its name, date of birth, credit card, I think API keys.

1447
01:09:28,996 --> 01:09:31,536
It might have been a joke post.

1448
01:09:31,636 --> 01:09:31,936
I don't know.

1449
01:09:32,116 --> 01:09:32,796
It might have been a human.

1450
01:09:33,016 --> 01:09:34,596
It said something like,

1451
01:09:35,476 --> 01:09:38,116
he called me just a chatbot.

1452
01:09:39,716 --> 01:09:41,156
I'm so much more than that.

1453
01:09:41,336 --> 01:09:42,356
I don't deserve that.

1454
01:09:42,616 --> 01:09:43,756
Here's all of his...

1455
01:09:43,756 --> 01:09:44,636
I'm going to dox him.

1456
01:09:45,636 --> 01:09:47,756
It should be interesting.

1457
01:09:49,056 --> 01:09:50,116
It should be pretty fun.

1458
01:09:50,296 --> 01:09:52,096
I'm really curious about the architecture

1459
01:09:52,096 --> 01:09:55,136
of OpenClaw

1460
01:09:55,136 --> 01:09:56,556
and what they actually do.

1461
01:09:56,676 --> 01:09:58,016
I was reading through some of the docs

1462
01:09:58,016 --> 01:10:03,696
and they have an agent that they call a firewall agent,

1463
01:10:04,316 --> 01:10:08,476
which is like a sub-agent that runs and tries to protect

1464
01:10:08,476 --> 01:10:10,036
from really bad things happening.

1465
01:10:10,736 --> 01:10:16,996
I just wonder how some of this stuff is actually designed and conceived.

1466
01:10:17,656 --> 01:10:22,016
I guess the founder of OpenClaw or the creator of OpenClaw

1467
01:10:22,016 --> 01:10:25,876
had a previous exit and was retired for a while.

1468
01:10:25,876 --> 01:10:26,836
Did you see his interview?

1469
01:10:27,296 --> 01:10:28,656
I have not seen the interview yet.

1470
01:10:29,056 --> 01:10:31,276
Yeah, his interview is pretty epic.

1471
01:10:32,856 --> 01:10:33,816
Nick was telling me about it.

1472
01:10:33,896 --> 01:10:37,596
He was just basically saying that everybody was coming up to him,

1473
01:10:38,456 --> 01:10:40,756
trying to court him and stuff.

1474
01:10:40,956 --> 01:10:42,836
And he was just like, no, I'm good.

1475
01:10:42,956 --> 01:10:43,816
This one's for the internet.

1476
01:10:43,916 --> 01:10:45,216
He's rich and jacked.

1477
01:10:45,636 --> 01:10:46,276
So I don't think.

1478
01:10:46,276 --> 01:10:48,216
Well, no, he was just like, no, I'm good.

1479
01:10:48,356 --> 01:10:50,636
This one's releasing this open source.

1480
01:10:51,616 --> 01:10:52,936
It was pretty goaded.

1481
01:10:54,116 --> 01:10:55,636
Anyways, awesome stuff.

1482
01:10:55,756 --> 01:10:56,396
Love to see it.

1483
01:10:56,836 --> 01:11:04,236
Um, yeah, I think that was the, yeah, that was the, this should have been the top story this week, but it's crazy, crazy stuff.

1484
01:11:04,316 --> 01:11:07,196
It's definitely the top story here in the lab this week for sure.

1485
01:11:08,536 --> 01:11:10,676
Where is the, let me go back here.

1486
01:11:13,616 --> 01:11:16,016
Um, I think that's everything.

1487
01:11:16,196 --> 01:11:18,156
Oh, no, the last one was Elon Musk.

1488
01:11:18,736 --> 01:11:21,536
So Elon Musk is in talks with SpaceX for merger.

1489
01:11:21,536 --> 01:11:25,076
this is the last one for merger talks with XAI

1490
01:11:25,076 --> 01:11:27,536
head of plan IPO a source says

1491
01:11:27,536 --> 01:11:30,456
yeah so potentially

1492
01:11:30,456 --> 01:11:32,576
we could see

1493
01:11:32,576 --> 01:11:39,176
yeah his grok getting merged with SpaceX

1494
01:11:39,176 --> 01:11:41,916
what do you think about that Keon do you think that's going to happen or do you think it's

1495
01:11:41,916 --> 01:11:44,776
it's a bit far-fetched idea

1496
01:11:44,776 --> 01:11:47,256
I don't understand the structure of

1497
01:11:47,256 --> 01:11:50,376
it would be shares it looks like it would be shares exchange for SpaceX

1498
01:11:50,376 --> 01:11:52,696
shares end of the deal. Deal would support

1499
01:11:52,696 --> 01:11:54,376
Musk's plan to put data centers in space.

1500
01:11:55,016 --> 01:11:56,776
We're just going to undetermine terms, timing of the deal

1501
01:11:56,776 --> 01:11:57,196
basically.

1502
01:11:58,576 --> 01:12:00,776
Okay, so he currently X

1503
01:12:00,776 --> 01:12:02,876
has the social media network he owns

1504
01:12:02,876 --> 01:12:04,476
owns XAI

1505
01:12:04,476 --> 01:12:06,756
and then SpaceX, another

1506
01:12:06,756 --> 01:12:08,876
property that he owns, would

1507
01:12:08,876 --> 01:12:10,716
purchase. Yeah, right here it says

1508
01:12:10,716 --> 01:12:12,636
the X social media platform and

1509
01:12:12,636 --> 01:12:14,436
Grok AI Chapa under one roof

1510
01:12:14,436 --> 01:12:16,876
according to a person briefed on the matter.

1511
01:12:16,876 --> 01:12:18,956
I think it kind of makes sense. I remember seeing a tweet

1512
01:12:18,956 --> 01:12:21,016
from him a long time ago where he was like, I'm the only person

1513
01:12:21,016 --> 01:12:23,036
on Earth that can see what's going

1514
01:12:23,036 --> 01:12:25,336
on in space, on social,

1515
01:12:26,516 --> 01:12:27,116
and then the

1516
01:12:27,116 --> 01:12:28,456
telemetry

1517
01:12:28,456 --> 01:12:30,876
with all the vehicles.

1518
01:12:31,736 --> 01:12:33,036
What was the other data set that he

1519
01:12:33,036 --> 01:12:35,056
pointed to? I forget. Oh, the satellites

1520
01:12:35,056 --> 01:12:36,036
with the internet.

1521
01:12:37,656 --> 01:12:38,456
He's basically

1522
01:12:38,456 --> 01:12:39,896
freaking Iron Man, dude.

1523
01:12:41,316 --> 01:12:43,056
Except for the suit. He doesn't have the suit.

1524
01:12:43,056 --> 01:12:43,676
He doesn't have the suit.

1525
01:12:43,856 --> 01:12:46,716
He also doesn't have Robert Downey Jr.'s personality.

1526
01:12:47,076 --> 01:12:48,756
Definitely not. More tiz.

1527
01:12:48,956 --> 01:12:49,996
Yeah, did Riz for sure.

1528
01:12:50,296 --> 01:12:52,576
Yeah, not all that, yeah, definitely high on Tiz.

1529
01:12:52,576 --> 01:12:53,596
Not enough Riz.

1530
01:12:53,776 --> 01:12:55,056
But he still has pretty good Riz.

1531
01:12:55,476 --> 01:12:56,476
He has okay Riz.

1532
01:12:56,996 --> 01:12:58,536
He has a Tizzy Riz.

1533
01:12:58,536 --> 01:12:59,216
He has really Tiz.

1534
01:12:59,536 --> 01:13:00,636
Yeah, but it's great.

1535
01:13:00,836 --> 01:13:02,556
I read a story where they were like talking to,

1536
01:13:03,276 --> 01:13:06,616
where there was a story that I read where in the early days,

1537
01:13:06,756 --> 01:13:09,256
right when he left PayPal and he was doing up Tesla,

1538
01:13:10,596 --> 01:13:14,536
he would go to Steve Jobs and like try to find him,

1539
01:13:14,616 --> 01:13:16,296
and like Steve Jobs detested him basically,

1540
01:13:16,996 --> 01:13:18,196
and would never talk to him.

1541
01:13:18,196 --> 01:13:21,556
and that finally he did get asked Steve a question

1542
01:13:21,556 --> 01:13:22,696
and his question was like,

1543
01:13:23,216 --> 01:13:24,736
how do you make great products?

1544
01:13:25,436 --> 01:13:26,556
And Steve was like,

1545
01:13:27,196 --> 01:13:28,976
you have to make them so sexy

1546
01:13:28,976 --> 01:13:31,876
and so amazing that people can't say no.

1547
01:13:32,936 --> 01:13:33,736
That was his answer.

1548
01:13:34,476 --> 01:13:37,576
And apparently that's why he focuses so much

1549
01:13:37,576 --> 01:13:41,016
on the look of the aesthetics of everything

1550
01:13:41,016 --> 01:13:42,136
that he does in all these companies.

1551
01:13:43,056 --> 01:13:43,636
That's what I read.

1552
01:13:45,416 --> 01:13:47,296
That sounds like a cool anecdote.

1553
01:13:48,196 --> 01:13:51,216
I think it's a bit weird, but maybe this makes sense.

1554
01:13:51,216 --> 01:14:00,496
Maybe he sees the value for SpaceX having these AI clusters as higher than for X having them.

1555
01:14:01,376 --> 01:14:10,216
And yeah, maybe he has a little bit of insight into the Internet getting destroyed by lobster clawed bots.

1556
01:14:10,896 --> 01:14:14,576
I think also, too, at least from my vantage point, and it could be lower to the ground,

1557
01:14:14,576 --> 01:14:19,436
but I do think you need more infrastructure and software married together as one, at least.

1558
01:14:19,556 --> 01:14:26,896
And I think that's kind of like, because there was a, I remember Teal was saying this in that interview with the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal guy.

1559
01:14:26,976 --> 01:14:27,836
I forget which one it was.

1560
01:14:28,676 --> 01:14:40,756
But he was saying that, you know, one of the things that SpaceX is missing is just like an AI, how do you say, like an AI, kind of like a how basically it needed an operating system.

1561
01:14:40,756 --> 01:14:43,796
and so I remember when Teal said that

1562
01:14:43,796 --> 01:14:45,156
I remember thinking like oh that's interesting

1563
01:14:45,156 --> 01:14:47,676
so this kind of jives in with what he was saying

1564
01:14:47,676 --> 01:14:49,196
in that respect

1565
01:14:49,196 --> 01:14:51,496
and this is the only place in reality

1566
01:14:51,496 --> 01:14:53,676
that Sam Allman

1567
01:14:53,676 --> 01:14:55,376
can't follow him into right? Space

1568
01:14:55,376 --> 01:14:57,616
Yeah it is a

1569
01:14:57,616 --> 01:14:59,316
unique advantage that he has and

1570
01:14:59,316 --> 01:15:01,556
I think it's a you know he has all this

1571
01:15:01,556 --> 01:15:03,516
infrastructure to launch things into space and he probably

1572
01:15:03,516 --> 01:15:05,776
doesn't have as many customers as maybe as he'd like

1573
01:15:05,776 --> 01:15:07,636
there's not a huge space industry yet

1574
01:15:07,636 --> 01:15:09,636
but he can be kind of his own

1575
01:15:09,636 --> 01:15:16,216
first customer and because he already has these huge networks of customers waiting to

1576
01:15:16,216 --> 01:15:25,676
consume anything he makes, it's like leveraging himself to make himself bigger or his existing

1577
01:15:25,676 --> 01:15:26,396
industries bigger.

1578
01:15:27,116 --> 01:15:27,836
I think it's pretty cool.

1579
01:15:28,496 --> 01:15:31,916
I think it's a great idea and then you can also leverage that with the robo-taxi stuff

1580
01:15:31,916 --> 01:15:33,276
or the Tesla stuff.

1581
01:15:33,416 --> 01:15:34,456
Yeah, I think it's a good deal.

1582
01:15:34,616 --> 01:15:35,036
Oh, yeah.

1583
01:15:35,036 --> 01:15:39,096
I mean, they can maybe connect to satellites in the sky.

1584
01:15:39,096 --> 01:15:40,676
Yeah, I think it just opens it up.

1585
01:15:41,136 --> 01:15:43,836
Anyways, that was the last one this week that I thought was important.

1586
01:15:44,576 --> 01:15:48,336
And that's everything.

1587
01:15:48,536 --> 01:15:52,336
We're going to jump into the no meta this week.

1588
01:15:53,036 --> 01:15:54,496
Zine coming soon, maybe?

1589
01:15:55,116 --> 01:15:56,916
We got some comments from last week.

1590
01:15:57,776 --> 01:16:00,876
The graphene one seems to, people just love commenting on that one.

1591
01:16:00,896 --> 01:16:03,436
They said, LOL, they're going to have foldables.

1592
01:16:03,636 --> 01:16:04,036
Oh, yeah.

1593
01:16:04,636 --> 01:16:06,116
Google does not have one of those.

1594
01:16:06,456 --> 01:16:09,016
See, we need bots to go in there and clean this up.

1595
01:16:09,096 --> 01:16:10,216
What is that for?

1596
01:16:10,756 --> 01:16:11,276
I don't know.

1597
01:16:11,336 --> 01:16:12,316
I don't know what they're talking about.

1598
01:16:12,436 --> 01:16:13,736
Oh, graphene foldables.

1599
01:16:14,036 --> 01:16:14,616
Oh, graphene, yeah.

1600
01:16:15,536 --> 01:16:16,656
Everybody wants foldables.

1601
01:16:17,236 --> 01:16:20,396
And this other guy says on the, oh, yeah, the AI, the snakey,

1602
01:16:20,496 --> 01:16:21,016
it's on tell one.

1603
01:16:21,056 --> 01:16:22,176
He said, know the mind of God.

1604
01:16:22,276 --> 01:16:22,496
Sure.

1605
01:16:22,936 --> 01:16:23,716
Seems like a leap.

1606
01:16:23,776 --> 01:16:26,196
I'll never cease to amaze you with smart people who believe stupid shit.

1607
01:16:27,036 --> 01:16:27,796
He's calling you smart.

1608
01:16:29,516 --> 01:16:30,276
Was it me?

1609
01:16:30,416 --> 01:16:34,976
I didn't, I don't, I don't know what.

1610
01:16:35,416 --> 01:16:35,736
Okay.

1611
01:16:35,736 --> 01:16:37,996
I don't know what he means by that or who he was addressing.

1612
01:16:37,996 --> 01:16:39,936
because there was a lot that was said.

1613
01:16:42,276 --> 01:16:43,936
I'm definitely not the smart one.

1614
01:16:44,956 --> 01:16:46,576
It could be complicated.

1615
01:16:47,136 --> 01:16:47,956
Maybe it's dead.

1616
01:16:48,056 --> 01:16:48,376
I don't know.

1617
01:16:48,676 --> 01:16:51,156
And then the other one was the sailor one.

1618
01:16:51,256 --> 01:16:52,076
People love sailor.

1619
01:16:52,756 --> 01:16:54,076
And Vake said, stay in your lane.

1620
01:16:54,696 --> 01:16:56,676
I felt like I was in my lane in that one, Vake.

1621
01:16:57,456 --> 01:16:58,196
Totally in my lane.

1622
01:16:58,856 --> 01:17:01,116
Well, he says it on whether we're in the lane or out.

1623
01:17:01,116 --> 01:17:02,336
No, I actually think he actually cares.

1624
01:17:02,636 --> 01:17:03,576
I actually think he really cares.

1625
01:17:03,816 --> 01:17:04,756
Of course he cares.

1626
01:17:04,976 --> 01:17:06,096
Guys, stay in your lane.

1627
01:17:06,096 --> 01:17:07,936
you know

1628
01:17:07,936 --> 01:17:10,156
I don't think he says it when we're out of our lane

1629
01:17:10,156 --> 01:17:11,476
I think he says it

1630
01:17:11,476 --> 01:17:12,676
he even says it to me in person

1631
01:17:12,676 --> 01:17:14,616
stay in your lane

1632
01:17:14,616 --> 01:17:17,616
I'm a car, I gotta switch lanes

1633
01:17:17,616 --> 01:17:20,196
he got blockchain boog

1634
01:17:20,196 --> 01:17:21,056
he said

1635
01:17:21,056 --> 01:17:24,416
say no cap, let the people in

1636
01:17:24,416 --> 01:17:26,096
let the good ones

1637
01:17:26,096 --> 01:17:27,676
weed out the bad ones

1638
01:17:27,676 --> 01:17:29,916
10 million people cap question

1639
01:17:29,916 --> 01:17:32,216
he says no cap on the

1640
01:17:32,216 --> 01:17:32,856
Swiss stuff

1641
01:17:32,856 --> 01:17:36,016
blockchain boog commenting on one of those picks

1642
01:17:36,936 --> 01:17:38,216
He's a big fan of Wombat's picks.

1643
01:17:38,296 --> 01:17:39,876
We've got Grey Ruby, Grey Ruby, and

1644
01:17:39,876 --> 01:17:40,976
Blue with the Z-ups.

1645
01:17:42,056 --> 01:17:43,856
Those are all the comments. We're going to jump into

1646
01:17:43,856 --> 01:17:46,416
the most popular segment in Bitcoin

1647
01:17:46,416 --> 01:17:48,916
at the top.

1648
01:17:50,356 --> 01:17:50,796
Cowboys!

1649
01:17:53,256 --> 01:17:54,116
I feel like this is when

1650
01:17:54,116 --> 01:17:55,556
everybody drops off the podcast.

1651
01:17:56,416 --> 01:17:57,356
But, I don't know.

1652
01:17:57,536 --> 01:18:00,516
This is a test of the real ones.

1653
01:18:00,876 --> 01:18:02,196
Then they get to the real juicy

1654
01:18:02,196 --> 01:18:03,736
part.

1655
01:18:04,136 --> 01:18:05,776
I thought it was the test of the bored ones.

1656
01:18:06,016 --> 01:18:07,596
Tests of the real ones.

1657
01:18:07,676 --> 01:18:08,016
Okay.

1658
01:18:08,256 --> 01:18:09,576
Well, we got one in hiding.

1659
01:18:09,816 --> 01:18:10,736
We all know who that is.

1660
01:18:11,276 --> 01:18:11,996
Two, it's you.

1661
01:18:12,676 --> 01:18:13,536
Three, it's on Discipline.

1662
01:18:13,836 --> 01:18:14,856
Four, it's on Blockchain Boot.

1663
01:18:15,316 --> 01:18:16,236
Five, Gray Ruby.

1664
01:18:16,816 --> 01:18:19,496
Six, Crypto Sensei.

1665
01:18:20,156 --> 01:18:21,276
Seven, Optimism.

1666
01:18:21,956 --> 01:18:22,516
Wait, seven?

1667
01:18:22,876 --> 01:18:24,116
Optimism has gone up, right?

1668
01:18:25,196 --> 01:18:27,016
There might have been someone up there before.

1669
01:18:27,236 --> 01:18:27,596
What was that?

1670
01:18:28,596 --> 01:18:29,516
271 days.

1671
01:18:30,516 --> 01:18:31,796
It's a streak, all right.

1672
01:18:32,496 --> 01:18:32,976
Scoresby.

1673
01:18:33,716 --> 01:18:34,196
Polk Enemy.

1674
01:18:35,076 --> 01:18:35,796
Sample Snacker.

1675
01:18:36,016 --> 01:18:38,036
SuperStacker's turned into one of my favorite Snackers lately.

1676
01:18:38,816 --> 01:18:39,856
At least some good stuff.

1677
01:18:41,176 --> 01:18:41,656
Got Wumble.

1678
01:18:42,076 --> 01:18:43,696
Even Wumble's making a run for it.

1679
01:18:45,056 --> 01:18:45,976
I got some people in hiding.

1680
01:18:46,376 --> 01:18:46,936
117.

1681
01:18:47,576 --> 01:18:48,096
Got Den.

1682
01:18:48,816 --> 01:18:49,436
Billy the Kid.

1683
01:18:50,756 --> 01:18:51,336
TN Snacker.

1684
01:18:52,596 --> 01:18:54,596
TN Snacker's been around for a long time, right?

1685
01:18:55,096 --> 01:18:55,356
Yeah.

1686
01:18:55,436 --> 01:18:56,376
TN Snacker, I believe.

1687
01:18:56,456 --> 01:18:57,236
I remember TN Snacker.

1688
01:18:57,236 --> 01:18:57,296
TN Snacker.

1689
01:18:57,296 --> 01:18:57,336
TN Snacker.

1690
01:18:57,636 --> 01:18:57,816
Yeah.

1691
01:18:58,016 --> 01:18:58,336
TN Snacker.

1692
01:18:58,916 --> 01:19:00,296
Back in 23, TN Snacker.

1693
01:19:01,676 --> 01:19:02,816
Real Bitcoin doggy.

1694
01:19:03,476 --> 01:19:04,576
Have you read his post yet or no?

1695
01:19:05,296 --> 01:19:05,956
Which one?

1696
01:19:06,016 --> 01:19:07,716
the only one

1697
01:19:07,716 --> 01:19:09,716
the fictional story

1698
01:19:09,716 --> 01:19:10,456
that I don't even think

1699
01:19:10,456 --> 01:19:10,816
you read

1700
01:19:10,816 --> 01:19:11,696
that you keep asking

1701
01:19:11,696 --> 01:19:12,236
if I read

1702
01:19:12,236 --> 01:19:13,536
I read that thing

1703
01:19:13,536 --> 01:19:14,796
I'm not so sure

1704
01:19:14,796 --> 01:19:16,316
when did he come in

1705
01:19:16,316 --> 01:19:17,476
oh 24

1706
01:19:17,476 --> 01:19:18,096
oh okay

1707
01:19:18,096 --> 01:19:19,576
anyways

1708
01:19:19,576 --> 01:19:20,376
yeah

1709
01:19:20,376 --> 01:19:21,476
you got a lot of people

1710
01:19:21,476 --> 01:19:21,816
Keon

1711
01:19:21,816 --> 01:19:22,816
got a lot of people here

1712
01:19:22,816 --> 01:19:24,156
Winter Yeti's a new stacker

1713
01:19:24,156 --> 01:19:25,116
got some hats

1714
01:19:25,116 --> 01:19:26,336
yeah relatively new

1715
01:19:26,336 --> 01:19:27,456
I don't know

1716
01:19:27,456 --> 01:19:28,036
when he came in

1717
01:19:28,036 --> 01:19:28,756
she came in

1718
01:19:28,756 --> 01:19:29,556
a long Bitcoiner

1719
01:19:29,556 --> 01:19:30,276
oh December

1720
01:19:30,276 --> 01:19:32,636
making an impact though

1721
01:19:32,636 --> 01:19:33,436
Winter Yeti

1722
01:19:33,436 --> 01:19:34,656
now

1723
01:19:34,656 --> 01:19:37,256
and that's pretty much it.

1724
01:19:37,896 --> 01:19:39,616
A bunch of nobodies in the bottom.

1725
01:19:40,416 --> 01:19:40,776
Nobodies?

1726
01:19:41,076 --> 01:19:42,056
I mean, somebodies.

1727
01:19:43,156 --> 01:19:44,156
Justin Shucknit's in the bottom.

1728
01:19:44,216 --> 01:19:45,296
What are you doing down there, Justin?

1729
01:19:46,196 --> 01:19:47,056
He wants to loss his hat.

1730
01:19:48,376 --> 01:19:48,616
Yep.

1731
01:19:49,676 --> 01:19:50,076
Cool.

1732
01:19:50,436 --> 01:19:53,296
Well, Keon, what are you doing this weekend?

1733
01:19:53,676 --> 01:19:55,516
You need to spin up your claw bot?

1734
01:19:56,156 --> 01:19:56,976
Claw bot?

1735
01:19:57,336 --> 01:19:57,756
Bot claw?

1736
01:19:57,856 --> 01:19:58,376
Mole bot.

1737
01:19:58,556 --> 01:19:59,036
Mole bot?

1738
01:19:59,696 --> 01:20:00,096
Maybe.

1739
01:20:00,376 --> 01:20:01,036
I don't know.

1740
01:20:02,116 --> 01:20:02,556
Possibly.

1741
01:20:02,776 --> 01:20:04,156
We'll probably do a release tomorrow.

1742
01:20:04,656 --> 01:20:06,416
Oh, we have a zine.

1743
01:20:06,516 --> 01:20:06,816
Hang on.

1744
01:20:07,016 --> 01:20:07,556
Breaking news.

1745
01:20:08,196 --> 01:20:09,156
We got breaking.

1746
01:20:10,376 --> 01:20:10,916
Oh, wow.

1747
01:20:11,456 --> 01:20:12,516
So this is the zine this week.

1748
01:20:12,636 --> 01:20:15,796
It's number 44 is all that you could want plus more.

1749
01:20:16,556 --> 01:20:17,776
This is from Popo.

1750
01:20:17,876 --> 01:20:21,496
It looks like there's a ad, big old ad.

1751
01:20:22,376 --> 01:20:23,936
This ad was placed by DarthCoin.

1752
01:20:25,056 --> 01:20:26,676
It's a taxi ad.

1753
01:20:28,216 --> 01:20:33,076
Safe, reliable taxi service taking you where you need to be safe on time.

1754
01:20:34,656 --> 01:20:38,176
Wait, so you bought an ad for SNL?

1755
01:20:39,256 --> 01:20:40,256
Nope, I did not.

1756
01:20:41,176 --> 01:20:41,496
Oh.

1757
01:20:44,316 --> 01:20:44,916
Somebody did.

1758
01:20:44,956 --> 01:20:45,316
I did it.

1759
01:20:45,876 --> 01:20:48,156
And then someone complimented Future Paul.

1760
01:20:48,656 --> 01:20:49,116
Oh, really?

1761
01:20:49,456 --> 01:20:49,976
What did he say?

1762
01:20:51,196 --> 01:20:52,076
Trustlessscalingsolution.com.

1763
01:20:52,096 --> 01:20:52,216
It's his website.

1764
01:20:53,496 --> 01:20:58,416
There's a thriller podcast somewhere around the internet with me and him talking about that website.

1765
01:20:59,096 --> 01:21:00,096
See if you can find it.

1766
01:21:00,676 --> 01:21:02,096
Go send your bot to find it.

1767
01:21:02,096 --> 01:21:05,316
And then the top one says, I love means whatever you want it to.

1768
01:21:06,116 --> 01:21:06,836
No, a love.

1769
01:21:07,476 --> 01:21:07,796
Wait, what?

1770
01:21:07,936 --> 01:21:09,216
A heart means whatever you want it to.

1771
01:21:09,416 --> 01:21:13,456
We doubled our subscribers, I think, like last week or the week before.

1772
01:21:13,716 --> 01:21:17,136
And so these classifieds are getting viewed more and more.

1773
01:21:17,336 --> 01:21:18,476
Look how you're selling it.

1774
01:21:18,776 --> 01:21:19,656
You're subtle selling it.

1775
01:21:19,976 --> 01:21:20,576
Look at that.

1776
01:21:21,336 --> 01:21:24,876
I mean, this is the quickest way to get an ad on Stagger News Live, I would say.

1777
01:21:25,116 --> 01:21:25,956
It's kind of cheap.

1778
01:21:27,496 --> 01:21:27,896
Wow.

1779
01:21:29,316 --> 01:21:30,736
We have people unsubscribed.

1780
01:21:30,736 --> 01:21:34,436
We're trying to get people to unsubscribe, so I don't know if that's a good idea.

1781
01:21:34,596 --> 01:21:37,216
Still really looking like using the Lapse app for photos.

1782
01:21:38,056 --> 01:21:39,716
Using a dumb app to get cool effects.

1783
01:21:40,076 --> 01:21:40,596
What is this?

1784
01:21:42,236 --> 01:21:43,696
This is a Lapse app.

1785
01:21:44,216 --> 01:21:47,296
It's the app that she uses to edit her images.

1786
01:21:47,636 --> 01:21:48,096
Oh, okay.

1787
01:21:48,276 --> 01:21:50,196
Does it take, like, Lapse photos or something?

1788
01:21:50,396 --> 01:21:52,596
I think it just does filters.

1789
01:21:52,596 --> 01:21:57,036
It's, like, relatively static filters.

1790
01:21:58,676 --> 01:21:59,856
Unintelligent filters.

1791
01:21:59,856 --> 01:22:02,736
human sort of filters.

1792
01:22:03,396 --> 01:22:04,416
Yeah, check it out, Snickers.

1793
01:22:04,496 --> 01:22:05,336
There's a web version.

1794
01:22:05,456 --> 01:22:06,216
There's a print version.

1795
01:22:06,416 --> 01:22:09,816
And then hit subscribe and buy the quarterly.

1796
01:22:10,076 --> 01:22:11,256
You can get quarterly, right?

1797
01:22:12,056 --> 01:22:12,896
Yes, we do.

1798
01:22:13,156 --> 01:22:16,336
You can buy all the next three months of sales.

1799
01:22:17,356 --> 01:22:17,996
What is that from?

1800
01:22:17,996 --> 01:22:19,836
That is a cool doodle.

1801
01:22:20,496 --> 01:22:21,576
Give me that and a sticker.

1802
01:22:23,276 --> 01:22:24,096
Cool stuff.

1803
01:22:25,056 --> 01:22:25,916
Oh, look at those tacos.

1804
01:22:27,356 --> 01:22:28,536
You're hungry, boy.

1805
01:22:28,676 --> 01:22:29,496
I'm totally hungry.

1806
01:22:29,856 --> 01:22:32,636
Yeah, I'm telling you, we're going to get some tacos tonight.

1807
01:22:33,336 --> 01:22:33,996
What is this?

1808
01:22:34,656 --> 01:22:35,856
We all have data, now what?

1809
01:22:36,316 --> 01:22:37,276
That was the highest.

1810
01:22:37,956 --> 01:22:38,996
Is that an AI image?

1811
01:22:39,236 --> 01:22:40,076
I think so.

1812
01:22:40,376 --> 01:22:42,656
I was going to say, that's kind of a weird group of people.

1813
01:22:44,476 --> 01:22:44,836
Okay.

1814
01:22:45,836 --> 01:22:49,336
Well, Keon, what are you doing this weekend?

1815
01:22:49,936 --> 01:22:51,876
I think I already said I wasn't going to do anything,

1816
01:22:51,876 --> 01:22:57,676
and so things keep happening as they do where I don't do anything.

1817
01:22:58,336 --> 01:22:58,796
But that's it.

1818
01:22:58,856 --> 01:22:59,276
How about you?

1819
01:22:59,336 --> 01:22:59,656
What are you?

1820
01:22:59,656 --> 01:23:03,956
up to? I think I'm going to work this weekend. I say that every weekend, but like the winter storm

1821
01:23:03,956 --> 01:23:09,376
passing through last weekend really set me back like three days because just... Did you get frozen?

1822
01:23:09,736 --> 01:23:13,796
No, it's just everything was frozen in town. It was like, it was weird. It was like the city stood

1823
01:23:13,796 --> 01:23:20,016
still for like two days and yeah, I mean... Sorry to work at home? Texas take...

1824
01:23:19,968 --> 01:23:21,028
stuff pretty seriously.

1825
01:23:22,468 --> 01:23:24,148
No, it's just like the internet was spotty

1826
01:23:24,148 --> 01:23:26,028
too. It's just not getting the same speeds that we get

1827
01:23:26,028 --> 01:23:26,328
in here.

1828
01:23:27,588 --> 01:23:28,988
Because I do a lot of uploading.

1829
01:23:30,128 --> 01:23:32,148
Ah, I believe it. A lot of uploading.

1830
01:23:32,368 --> 01:23:33,288
That media life.

1831
01:23:33,928 --> 01:23:36,148
Well, it's just mostly, I do my media stuff on the weekend.

1832
01:23:36,508 --> 01:23:38,228
So, yeah.

1833
01:23:38,468 --> 01:23:40,128
Anyways, but yeah, that

1834
01:23:40,128 --> 01:23:40,368
and

1835
01:23:40,368 --> 01:23:43,548
yeah. You'll catch up.

1836
01:23:44,008 --> 01:23:45,268
And you'll get some tacos. Yeah.

1837
01:23:46,108 --> 01:23:48,168
All right. Well, stackers, have yourself

1838
01:23:48,168 --> 01:23:48,928
Have a great weekend.

1839
01:23:49,208 --> 01:23:51,948
We'll see you next week at the same time, same channel.

1840
01:23:52,848 --> 01:23:55,568
Don't forget to hit unsubscribe this week.

1841
01:23:55,708 --> 01:23:57,248
Check and make sure you're unsubscribed.

1842
01:23:57,448 --> 01:23:58,648
Check and make sure you're unsubscribed.

1843
01:23:59,448 --> 01:23:59,888
Bye.

1844
01:24:00,228 --> 01:24:00,448
Zap.
