Scott. What's. The worst
0:03
piece of tech depreciation you have
0:05
ever personally experienced. Oh. My. God.
0:08
Great. Question. Like
0:10
you bought a Nintendo game cube for one hundred
0:13
ninety nine dollars. but by the time you went
0:15
to sell it at the game stop at the
0:17
mall, the guy would only give you seventy five
0:19
dollars and store credit. I feel like a game
0:21
Consoles oddly. Retain. Value
0:24
Not a game stop. They don't have a
0:26
cane Saturday. I'll bet with that. If you
0:28
keep it either you keep. I'm pro and
0:30
anti hold on the hold on. Ah
0:32
I may think. Biggest.
0:34
Piece of tech depreciation. And.
0:38
He really should a key that question to me before
0:40
us. I had an answer to this because I don't
0:42
get a picnic. Definitely think of when. I
0:45
had it. Easy on your toes my man
0:47
you'd think like a laptops just because like
0:49
the yet they have reached. Such.
0:52
A pinnacle of pricing I can number. There
0:54
was that whole period where like laptops are
0:56
super expensive and then laptops became like free
0:58
like paper and then are not paper but
1:00
like you know I mean like they got
1:02
really cheap like you're buying the graduate to
1:04
Op's for like i thousand dollars or less
1:06
and now they're back to the thing where
1:08
it's like I'm I get a new laptop
1:10
and I go to the Apple store and
1:12
I like look at any price I would
1:14
add one. it's like fifty four hundred dollars
1:16
and I'm like what the hell happened. And.
1:19
Then they'd appreciate, and you'll sell it
1:21
for half the and within like two
1:23
years, you're at half that. Like within
1:25
for five years, they're essentially not usable.
1:27
like you and I both had Intel
1:30
based Mack books the previous Macbook pros,
1:32
and like, I didn't really want to
1:34
sell that thing because it's. The.
1:36
Know it's such a problematic piece of technology,
1:38
like it just overheats in it and with
1:40
spasms out. and it's just not great. So
1:42
it's like I wouldn't like. I've had friends
1:44
be like, should I buy this. It's a
1:46
really good deal on Mike. Absolutely not. I
1:49
wouldn't Yeah, I took a real should kick
1:51
in on their computer to Yep. But luckily
1:53
for both of us, the Cheyenne Supercomputer has
1:55
both of us beat. Built
1:58
and twenty sixteen and. Use for years
2:01
to run like climate prediction models
2:03
and weather forecasting. Some what was
2:05
made up of eight thousand Intel
2:07
Xeon, he five to six, nine,
2:09
seven V for processors cost an
2:11
estimated twenty five million dollars to
2:13
build and recently sold at auction
2:15
off parts. For. About
2:17
four hundred thousand dollars last.
2:21
Checked. Appreciate his real and it is coming
2:23
for are super computers and five wanna talk
2:25
about it? The that the
2:28
thousand and three hundred and thirteen
2:30
terabytes of D R for twenty
2:32
four hundred ram is like pretty
2:34
impressive the like could you imagine.
2:37
If you are like a cyber security firm,
2:40
you could buy this for half a million
2:42
dollars. Granted, it probably costs as a million
2:44
dollars and energy per year there to run.
2:46
it's given the amount of ships that are
2:48
in. it's. But you did! You
2:50
can set of the world's most amazing
2:52
password cracking service. Like. You
2:55
just throw a house in any way to
2:57
three hundred and terabyte sixty. Imagine the size
2:59
of dictionary the you can old an immediate
3:01
access ram. You. Just use
3:03
given away good ideas here. Are you right
3:05
now Mad love this. I love the idea
3:07
of imagine there's a software, the service you
3:09
know run out of some country, the doesn't
3:11
have a little laws about the stasis are
3:13
you dislike throat cancer? file into it or
3:15
a hack database and as be like crack
3:17
these codes his assault hit go in like
3:19
two minutes later you have like. Fourteen.
3:22
Thousand results. Are
3:24
having computations per second The same was
3:26
capable of. Speaking of software as a
3:29
service and cyber for cybercriminals different parts
3:31
of the world. On this chatty chat
3:33
episode of fact, we're talking about the
3:35
Science Supercomputer roster, talking about Lock Bit
3:37
and the true identity it's creator behind
3:39
the six five hundred million dollar for
3:41
hims briefs having been revealed. We gotta
3:43
talk about that. I also want to
3:45
talk with the fact you're finally gonna
3:47
get your money back Scott Summers, because
3:50
Stx is returning What they say, Ninety
3:52
percent of people's money. I think the
3:54
icy returning. A hundred and. Thirteen.
3:56
Percent of people's money to Ninety percent of the people.
3:58
I think it's what I read. That sounds more
4:00
accurate. Weird calculation where you're getting be getting
4:03
more box and you lost given gains and
4:05
but that's only Anthony to ninety percent of
4:07
the creditors which I'm not sure why that
4:09
is by them so there's a perfectly good
4:12
reason for it. He out in the intervening
4:14
years the value of those essence would have
4:16
gone up and that is not what they're
4:18
paying back is very interesting. We got a
4:20
lot to cover in this one. A massive
4:23
rap battle turns into a story about a
4:25
I and word is out. A
4:27
I gadgets like rabbit and to maintain
4:29
our. Yes, No, I'm reading
4:32
this right. Not very good. Got a
4:34
lot to talk about. All that more
4:36
specific Saudi episode of fact. Slocum
4:56
Andrew Wiggins I'm bringing manic
4:59
newscaster and this is my
5:01
new personality and broadcast is
5:03
like news piecing. But.
5:05
With none of the professor says i love
5:07
it I love it I don't think as
5:10
I never had any professionalism setting we'll balances
5:12
and a perfectly. So
5:14
know that I'm increasing at see much
5:16
more dramatic storytelling and now it's just
5:18
like sky frantically running down the road
5:20
shouting about cyber consistent spread out of
5:23
all you gotta grow you know I
5:25
think the first thing we should do
5:27
is given the responses to the last
5:29
have said I'll accept a sad yeah
5:31
I think. We. Just gotta give
5:33
a plug Gallon hat Holland had.com as you've
5:35
got cool stories the you. Wanna.
5:38
Throw at us that we might make
5:40
into a pod. gas fired up all
5:42
an actor com. Yeah. Those are
5:45
incredibly fun to make and since we drop
5:47
that's as he says. we dropped the first
5:49
one more people realized it's a real thing.
5:51
We will talk about the stuff and so
5:53
they submitted more stories in. the stories are
5:55
just getting more and more interesting. The backlog
5:57
of great stuff we have to talk about
5:59
A Toxic I'm looking at you like he
6:01
keeps getting bigger and bigger is very exciting
6:03
and it's a lot of fun to talk
6:05
about the story. So keep it up Paul
6:07
and hacked.com. To. Do do do
6:09
next find adding in an obvious
6:11
ones. Given our great sponsored south
6:13
of I was supplied our source
6:15
of start. I had forecast that
6:17
com. We recently added a crew
6:19
neck and our children shirt as
6:21
to requests from the patrons. so
6:23
please it's you. Seal. The needs
6:25
and if you don't whatever. check it out. Start
6:28
out at Podcast. I can't I be some. they
6:30
are you on a gap there. Check it out.
6:32
Get a visor he didn't enamel mud does good
6:34
stuff and then you can Now get a crew
6:36
next winter. I'm gonna hit
6:38
right attending church Jordan and I are both
6:41
can get. Yes I am very center for
6:43
them. Next step
6:45
I think. He. Has given those
6:47
requests from the patrons. We should give a
6:49
little Sarah to our patrons. You know if
6:51
you wanna join or patron we'd love it
6:53
but you know have to. But if you
6:55

7:24
at Walk Sarah St. you tell for
7:26
tell for the go for of it's
7:29
rude day for it You through day
7:31
made made my day tackle and Adam

as they so much meat in
8:18
all means the world to us.
8:20
It really genuinely does series and
8:22
we we keep making this show
8:24
because people keep listening to, keep
8:26
commenting and keep just showing their
8:28
support. It means a lot to
8:30
us to usher sports to in
8:32
Gone Hacked, Baucus. Dot com readers for
8:34
a patron we we got the mertz we
8:36
get the that we got all the different
8:38
things sport as however you would like to
8:40
tell someone about the show like subscribe leave
8:42
a comment whenever you can do it means
8:45
the world of get into a man restless,
8:47
get into some stories and he me and
8:49
well we're just talking about and sings easiest
8:51
for the show I think the I went
8:53
and your reviews other day says some pretty
8:55
interesting ones. Some
8:57
very off base ones I people that
8:59
no Context is complaining about. The sell
9:01
button is a bunch. Of really amazing ones
9:04
and I were Ferguson the a major ones. I
9:06
think that's ah if you have time bid love
9:08
it as he didn't give us a review on
9:10
one of the mean as men podcast hours and
9:12
be great for us. So appreciate that the has
9:15
a huge impact, helps the show a lot. One
9:18
keep going. every one of be able to. Spend.
9:21
Time responding to your calls and bullshit
9:23
about weird tech stories but also doing
9:25
more in depth stuff and interviewing people
9:27
and is taking it as far as
9:29
we can sum. total little bit counts
9:31
somewhere during the winter we want to
9:34
Starts: I I kind of the or
9:36
a question like your final tidbit their
9:38
about the humane pain in the rabbits
9:40
eyes, gray places sorry. Yeah,
9:43
I mean I don't really have a ton
9:45
prepared about that. That was more of just
9:47
sort of I drive. I saw that bar
9:49
type situation on how to stray of like
9:51
house the internet is just following Marquez Brownlee
9:53
as he assassinate. Companies are not being very
9:55
good at which is really an influencer taken
9:57
down a bad company. it's a bad company.
10:00
Revealed as such we did not see
10:02
their does about companies just at first
10:04
generation ai products. I have a very
10:06
weird question answer which is why aren't
10:08
they just apps on my phone while
10:10
turns of they are axes is apps
10:12
on your phone isn't of his if
10:14
he's another rabbit it came out that
10:16
is literally just in a Pk install
10:18
on an embedded Android device which you
10:20
know in reality like turn and I
10:22
had this conversation off line when this
10:25
have really slow think it makes total
10:27
sense like in own getting a small.
10:30
Piece. Of hardware built that runs and embedded
10:32
version of Android that comes with the
10:34
development environment and you know all of
10:36
the infrastructure that comes along with being
10:38
an Android device. It's like he would
10:40
be hard pressed to want to build
10:42
a device. Now that's not based off
10:44
of something like an Android O S
10:46
because desert which is comes a semester
10:48
for free. Like why wouldn't you do
10:50
it So it's no surprise to me,
10:52
but. They literally could just
10:55
be apps and your phone. And
10:57
but the interesting thing to me as you
10:59
know you talk about all that utility that's
11:02
just rebuilt and Android that would you start
11:04
from scratch. The thing I find fascinating about
11:06
think it's specifically the rabbit is that. By.
11:10
Building this sort of large I think
11:12
the called the large action mode on
11:14
it's essentially meant to be laws. And
11:16
a I modeled as capable of interacting
11:18
with web sites on your behalf is
11:20
that by. Mediating. Guitar Computing
11:23
Spirits of Ruse out model through
11:25
that voice. Chance diversity ridden. Removed.
11:28
A bunch of the stuff that Android can
11:30
do built in Android knows your Gps location.
11:32
It can figure out what time it is,
11:34
where you are considering how far away you
11:37
are from something. Based on that's and this
11:39
this lamb. Ah, interface of
11:41
they've cooked Ups doesn't seem to be capable
11:43
of interact with any of that stuff on
11:45
the Android back and to you you are
11:47
using a device that knows where you are
11:49
but will not tell you where you are
11:51
the knows what time it is, where you
11:53
are but may not get that. Very
11:56
basic utility. correct? It's this weird
11:58
friends this state where like, We
12:00
we know that being able to talk to
12:03
these assistance and have them do more of
12:05
your computing for you is probably where. This.
12:08
A I think goes is the computer getting
12:10
better at talking back to you up for
12:12
we can get to that. We have to
12:14
remove a bunch of the utility that's their
12:16
and cutbacks. For
12:18
that, the humane thing is the one
12:20
that has a weird little projector eight
12:22
hustling a projects and your and yeah,
12:25
right, yeah, yeah. six. I
12:27
don't like neither of these products I
12:30
saw them really spoke to me at
12:32
all like I'm the guy who doesn't
12:34
like smart watches. I don't want more
12:36
notifications. Allies had a want an Ai
12:38
assessing click to my thing that that
12:40
that projects and my hand basic pixelated
12:42
data like I have a phone. I'm
12:45
happy with my handheld super computer Network
12:47
connected Super computer. So
12:49
as I am not the murder for these
12:51
by think that they've been an interesting run
12:54
in industrial design like I think there's a
12:56
really oh heck yeah interesting the cool look
12:58
at Element of like what could some of
13:00
these things look like in our teenage engineering
13:02
and know did rather right. And it's like
13:05
in a can a group said I've been
13:07
aware of and followed for a long time
13:09
and they're kind of like dipping into this
13:11
new tech world Now the gone from synthesizers
13:14
sir to a I assistance and it's I
13:16
think is going to be a really cool
13:18
excise for for industrial. Designers to look
13:20
at, how to make these things more
13:22
usable and make them more functional So
13:25
centers that positive coming out of it?
13:27
Hundred percent. The rabbit is cool. I'm
13:30
not sure that. It it.
13:32
Seems to have a lot of basically
13:34
you i you x type problems. It
13:36
has a touchscreen can't touch you gotta
13:38
use the little scroll wheel type thing
13:40
and it is on the right hand
13:42
side of the device so you're left
13:44
handed. You can kick rocks but it's
13:46
a cool looking device. Teenage engineering is
13:48
greeted industrial design. The humane pin is
13:50
like of fortress little device. the clip
13:52
on magnet on the back that holds
13:54
that and place. It's all very cool
13:56
but the problem is both of them.
13:59
Are. They need to tell this story
14:01
about have out there what comes after the
14:03
souls because otherwise you can't raise the amount
14:05
of capital necessary to get a product like
14:08
this off the ground. Which means if you
14:10
make it an accessory for the phone that
14:12
the the whole thing falls apart. Which sucks
14:14
because these things want to be phone accessories.
14:16
As if the humane ai Tim was just
14:18
a camera and microphone and a projector the
14:20
connected to your phone. All the processing still
14:23
happened on your phone the you just had
14:25
this little thing you could tap in, interact
14:27
with. Honestly would work pretty well.
14:29
but but like aka contrast it with
14:31
why would they just get a pair
14:33
Smart glasses at that point. Likes those
14:35
things are making large strides. Windy and
14:37
Leno's from Google Glass like I read.
14:40
I read an article the other day
14:42
that was Google glasses and it's time
14:44
and I agree with it. like now.
14:46
We're. In that world where it's like I wanna
14:49
be looking at something, I want my phone to
14:51
know what I'm looking at, I want to be
14:53
on the ask a question about what I'm looking
14:55
at and my phone to tell me the answer.
14:58
Whether. It's is a are and the
15:00
glass or whether it's speaking in in
15:02
my ear like those are the. That's
15:05
a little bridge that I think
15:07
for crossing to making these things
15:09
truly connected functional devices. I
15:11
have some experience. What? Kind of car
15:13
is that. And it's like that said,
15:16
nineteen Seventy three Lotus Bomb. I got
15:18
cool. Thanks. Needs
15:20
their cool. That's great.
15:22
I am not going to steal this idea
15:24
presented as my own. It was the verge
15:26
I think to cook this idea, but it
15:28
it's that. It's starting to feel like. Ear.
15:31
Buds might be the ultimate Ai device
15:33
is what that is a device. the
15:35
let's you interact with your phone just
15:38
by talking. Let's. You receive information
15:40
just by listening but without everyone else
15:42
having here. It is playing over speakers
15:44
on, but it still relegates all of
15:46
the processing of the computation to the
15:48
device that is extremely mature and capable
15:51
of running these models as well as
15:53
a standalone device would like to me
15:55
that of your pods, a pair of
15:57
sunglasses things that are already part of.
16:00
Your life that you carry around for
16:02
another reason already. Make.
16:04
Way more sense to me than like what
16:06
if you had Another thing is basically a
16:08
phone but it isn't your phone but that
16:10
runs a phone up the could run on
16:13
your phone, struggle to see the sales pitch
16:15
except for we had cheated engineering do the
16:17
Id and it's very fun looking. Totally. Totally.
16:20
Etti I think there's gonna be. A
16:23
I think we're another incremental evolution says
16:25
or a fantasy going to step out
16:27
as yeah models get better. Our interactions
16:29
with them will get better. I think
16:31
that that's gonna be an exciting development
16:33
for for mankind. Com I don't. I'm
16:35
not sure if you followed him, but
16:38
Apple had their quarterly financial results here
16:40
today. Big big news. If you're in
16:42
finance as big of you not, they
16:44
did their i've Had events which is
16:46
probably much more consumers. I'd buy one
16:48
of the big things that came out
16:50
of their quarterly results in there are
16:52
other. An investor phone call was at
16:54
their spending a ton of time and
16:56
money on a I. And
16:59
on like creating an Apple
17:01
ecosystem, integrating it within their
17:03
devices which is gonna be
17:05
probably. A huge Saints does
17:07
given how much market share the
17:09
devices whole be at their their
17:11
computers I pods I phones. now.
17:13
maybe we're all the vision prose
17:15
as that's kind of had a
17:17
lukewarm response, but I think that
17:20
but having some the and a
17:22
group that's as good with interaction
17:24
as Apple is taking this on
17:26
is gonna be a big game
17:28
changer. Dub dub as go the
17:30
real Fasting monsieur. Rediscovery Fast Me
17:32
for our A eyes can be fascinating for
17:34
justifying why they sell of three thousand dollar
17:36
I pad is essentially a Mac Book but
17:38
is running a phone operating system like this
17:41
is a lot of questions. Any dancer and
17:43
I say this as a person like I'm.
17:45
Recording. This on an Apple device right
17:47
now and of their stuff, but there's I'm
17:49
very curious for dub dub this year. I
17:51
think that's going to have a. Of.
17:54
That should have a bigger impact on I'm
17:56
on their share price than a new I
17:59
Pad Hardware sonos. The of in the
18:01
I'm months and like week. Take a
18:03
little digression here in a Consumer Electronics
18:05
for like the new I'd have to
18:07
the I pad pro with and for
18:09
chip the can even get an A
18:12
laptop battery. care what the prices but
18:14
here's the thing that bothers me is
18:16
like where the accessory Thunderbolt port. Because.
18:19
You've essentially made me a computer
18:21
like it comes with a metal
18:23
touchpad keyboard the you can buy
18:25
as an accessory to make it
18:27
into a functional laptop and I
18:29
O S is just a skin
18:31
on like essentially a similar core
18:33
Unix infrastructure as Oh, Effects. So
18:35
why can't I toggle between. Laptop.
18:38
Mode and tablet mode depending on what I'm
18:40
doing like you have the ability to do
18:42
this and I'm blown away the you can't
18:44
you can't I'm shocked by us are things
18:46
that I mean the reason. The the
18:49
previously obvious reason why that was the
18:51
case has been complicated recently by antitrust
18:53
cases in Europe and the reason to
18:55
keep that silo does because the only
18:58
software you could install on the I
19:00
pad with software the you downloaded through
19:02
the app store and that offers a
19:04
great deal of control, economic and ecosystem
19:07
to Apple about what does run on
19:09
those devices as it's great for them.
19:11
If everyone shifted over to buying those
19:13
for Mac long term it would be
19:15
probably pretty good for Apple. The problem
19:18
is that. Control the start instead
19:20
eroded. We. Have laws and shine
19:22
Jurisdiction say you have to be able to
19:24
run other apps, Are you have to be
19:26
able to install your own stuff And increasingly
19:28
the question of like, well, why not than
19:31
just let me run Mac O S on
19:33
this thing. It's literally the new one is
19:35
more powerful than my Max better processor And
19:37
at lights just let me run Mac O
19:40
S on this. I could. Do.
19:42
My job on something like this. I would pick
19:44
it up in a heartbeat over. Mac Book is
19:46
it's a Mac book that comes apart turns into
19:48
an I pad. How cool is that? But until
19:50
I can do that it it's It's kind of
19:53
just a non starter for me. I know the
19:55
best thing in Classic Apple Fasten Gina whose proved
19:57
the business case for this device. Makers.
20:00
The. Microsoft serve in the service Tablets has been
20:02
out for ever and people have totally adopted it
20:05
and people love this services. I think our services
20:07
are great. You get the tablet and you also
20:09
get a lot on. The
20:11
wind when the Sun Elsa came out I was
20:13
like oh my god this is gonna be great
20:15
Lithgow Great these devices are. They've got adoptable keyboard
20:18
that has a touchpad which is a huge thing
20:20
for me. Like the second they put the touchpad
20:22
on the keyboards has like they made a laptop.
20:25
Jackets now no longer a only device and
20:27
and I was like I was trying to
20:29
dig up photos in the early moments of
20:31
the announcement to see the keyboard because I
20:33
expected there to be us be ports on
20:35
it. And there's only one
20:38
which has charging pass through and I
20:40
was like you've gotta be kidding me
20:42
says made essentially a three thousand dollar
20:44
laptop. That. Is also a
20:46
tablet that has no, it's like extensibility really
20:48
without a ton of dongles are playing in
20:50
a dark to it and I was like
20:53
that's crazy It's crazy to me is good
20:55
people but it's crazy. It's. It's.
20:57
A gorgeous piece of hardware. It is
20:59
decision of the tiny math book with
21:01
one us be port with Johnny I
21:04
sat back to life again tears to
21:06
see where it goes but. The.
21:08
Only way I'd be able to afford it
21:10
is if I get my Stx more decide
21:13
which transitions us nice for him, to the
21:15
story or the continuing saga of Ft acts.
21:17
I think we take it over there now.
21:19
for anyone that doesn't know. Who.
21:22
The odd but Fdx was the third
21:24
largest crypto currency change in the world
21:26
when it file for bankruptcy protection. In
21:28
it was twenty twenty two November after
21:31
experienced of basically the equivalent of a
21:33
bank run. Out. Following. Some
21:37
news about it: Ceos car found her
21:39
sandbag been freed, he resigns when exceeds
21:41
collapsed and marshy. Sentenced to twenty five
21:43
year prison term for the massive fraud
21:45
that occurred of the company. Whole thing
21:47
fell apart a became a public symbol
21:49
of the girls Clubs of crypto currency
21:52
in in breed in that industry and
21:54
was recently announced that nearly all former
21:56
customers of Fdx will recover are almost
21:58
one hundred percent or more their loss
22:00
funds from the collapse of the Exchange.
22:03
With. Screen is fantastic news. It's good.
22:05
I, for as much as we,
22:07
we sometimes dunk on elements of
22:09
the crypto currency ecosystem. A It's
22:11
never good when. You know,
22:14
Investors. Get their shit stolen and
22:16
it's always good when they get
22:18
their shit back. So I'm I'm
22:20
very happy to hear about this
22:23
in Mass. I haven't done the
22:25
reviewers dragon another alternative. Pecans still
22:27
can pending but as going, infinite.
22:30
Michael Lewis's But when in the
22:32
last half years that really agitated.
22:35
The shit out of me truthfully as he kind
22:37
of makes this case that like. There
22:40
were there like even though
22:42
Sandbank when fried was spending
22:44
clients' money is taking money
22:46
out of people's accounts and
22:49
essentially investing in and other
22:51
things which is wildly unethical
22:53
and it deserving of a.
22:56
Massive. Just press like
22:58
prison sense. That like
23:00
the money's kind of air in like
23:02
made up tokens that these manipulated the
23:04
method value of and like investments and
23:06
at a company is a gal them
23:08
and five hundred million dollars and Anthropic
23:10
Sunny I company sandbag when Frieden said
23:12
seated. Anyway, As
23:15
whole chapter where he can he goes on
23:17
about like or you know it's did he
23:20
really commit be crime to people's money could
23:22
still be there in these tokens of these
23:24
made and and all these investments and stuff
23:27
and it's ugly. Still committed the crime because
23:29
he never had those that money to invest
23:31
in the first place. Ah yes ah I'm
23:33
just very glad that. People.
23:36
Are getting get some other stuff back. Like
23:38
as much as I don't love Crypto was,
23:40
you might have heard. Was
23:42
as high as I don't know. I don't
23:44
like financial fraud way more and I'm happy
23:47
that like be ever had big chunks of
23:49
money tied up in this company or in
23:51
the see some of it. Yeah, is that
23:53
arguments? That. I'm.
23:56
Lying to people as okay if it happens
23:58
to all work out his i don't. Personally,
24:00
I. Believe. That
24:02
I think that the you service relying on
24:05
like at that point Yes, it's looking like
24:07
that total assets are going to be returned
24:09
or somewhere between forty and haven't sixty and
24:11
a half billion dollars. And as you said,
24:14
it's. Where they get this money
24:16
is a very fascinating question since and
24:18
F T's to the rescue. Apparently they're
24:20
still lot of value in the company
24:22
are tied up in some of and
24:24
the crypto other crypto assets are wind
24:26
outcasts proceeds, they're just they're selling it
24:28
all off on the plane. Was some
24:30
advice to Delaware Bankruptcy court. The
24:33
C O who is brought to do this.
24:35
a lot of people talked about just scanning
24:37
John Jay race third great name is the
24:40
Ceo in our chief restructuring officer. And
24:43
he expressed this plan to.
24:46
Mean. A return for bankruptcy claim amount plus
24:48
interest for non governmental creditors and me, you
24:50
know Triton's trying to get as much money
24:52
to people back. Not. Including what would
24:55
have been the gross and the assets had
24:57
the money been there in the first place.
24:59
Ah, he was appointed a new Ceo. His
25:01
this long time bankruptcy litigator In his sort
25:03
of claim to fame was he was known
25:05
for having cleaned up the mess after the
25:08
collapse of Enron so it's very asked. If.
25:10
It's fastening that he was the due to
25:12
his brought in by know any I think
25:14
the Anthropic invests in alone. They sold for
25:16
a hundred eighty four million. I think over
25:18
the scan to be like a thirty eight
25:20
forty percent. Return. For.
25:23
Together Vitriolic More Net: Five Hundred
25:25
million Eight Tdd Blake Sixty some
25:27
percent. Speak. Freely
25:29
it. Yeah, I get quotes. We
25:31
are pleased to be in a position
25:33
to propose a chapter eleven planned to
25:35
contemplates the return of one hundred percent
25:37
of bankers be claimed the mouse plus
25:39
interest for non governmental creditors. It's interesting
25:41
situation it's I would have loved. I
25:44
would love to know more about what
25:46
that process was. trying to clean up
25:48
a mess of this scale to try
25:50
and find every single penny that's in
25:52
under every single crutch cushion of every
25:54
single khowst this company has across a
25:56
giant portfolio companies and sub companies. That
25:58
was I think intentionally obvious. It might
26:00
have Aikman free. This was not an easy
26:02
company to understand. We have spent a lot
26:05
of prime time trying to understand it and
26:07
I would love to know. You know what
26:09
that journey to find that money looked like
26:11
but it's great news that it has been
26:14
sound. Furthermore, you like the more I dive
26:16
into the sorry in the more the books
26:18
that I've read like number got busy Fox
26:20
Highly recommended. Hopefully we'll see I'm on the
26:22
pods and I'm great. Great back. I go
26:25
through in detail a lot of the like
26:27
the little pieces of in the aftermath is
26:29
about just. The chaos that was last
26:31
because. They were
26:34
apparently. Worse said accounting
26:36
than they were ads not committing
26:38
fraud. To. See
26:41
her. There's very poor accounting records
26:43
and worst at accounting them not
26:45
committing for of asks as as
26:47
his hand like that. this is
26:49
a mess like even the me
26:51
other words and ran the company
26:54
didn't even know where the money
26:56
was in what they held assets
26:58
and investments in. There is no.
27:01
No organization to as and I can
27:03
only imagine how much of a nightmare
27:06
the suspense of this group whose is.
27:08
The. Fact that the fact that they
27:11
sound enough to get people back there
27:13
are additional investments and a bit more
27:15
is amazing. Isn't happy? Happy to hear?
27:17
happy to hear what's not follow a
27:20
fifteen billion dollar efficient, not a crime
27:22
spree, but look what, sixteen billion dollars
27:24
in damage. But it's probably worth talking
27:26
about. A little character called Lock Bits
27:28
Up in a five hundred million or
27:31
hacking spree and a recent discovery. Tell
27:33
me about this is every most pivot
27:35
to school versus a little bit so
27:38
forth. and there's a search on the
27:40
internet com Lock Bit Some he was
27:42
the are socially the a operator behind
27:44
the lock bit ran somewhere group of
27:46
autism rates more as a service five
27:48
hundred million dollar hacking spree. A
27:51
big character in the ransom, whereas
27:53
a service ecosystem. To
27:55
recently law enforcement in the Us, Uk,
27:57
and Australia have identified Russian national. Me:
28:00
treat your your chest koresh as as
28:02
he alleges operator behind the group they
28:05
figured out who block gets up. His.
28:08
It's a fascinating story is a
28:10
task force named Operation Kronos led
28:12
by you please National Crime in
28:15
a agency that operated and infiltrated
28:17
lock Bit systems smear, bunch of
28:19
arrest seats, sea servers disrupted the
28:21
group's activities. I'm a single over
28:23
this is is is it aside,
28:25
the law enforcement. Names. For
28:28
all of this are always like that.
28:30
They're always like Operation Kronos, the Romulus
28:32
initiatives, stack and exciting Project Titan, and
28:34
then the gang they're taking down as
28:36
I was like the bleep bloop Moyes
28:38
is never notice unless it's always good
28:40
slaves there is to the the hackers
28:42
always have a very funny names and
28:45
in the task force to take them
28:47
down always sounds like it's like a
28:49
Zack Snyder movie. It rules. I love
28:51
it. Every citizen citizen you know it's
28:53
not funny. Now is what their damage
28:55
from this group is like. In
28:57
the billions of catastrophic it's really bad
29:00
has traffic is through their my advice.
29:02
Ah so yep and did it. It's
29:04
into allegedly the guy behind it. Course
29:07
as thirty one years old, sanctioned by
29:09
the Us you can Australia's he says
29:11
us in diamond with twenty six counts
29:14
including conspiracy to commit fraud, extortion, and
29:16
hacking with potential penalties totaling hundred and
29:18
eighty five years in prison Is that.
29:21
He's. A fascinating character. The group target
29:23
in a bunch different entities: Boeing, Royal
29:25
Mail, They often published stolen
29:27
data if France and name ransoms weren't
29:30

again. A you true for the how exactly
30:10
are new True Crime podcast. Honorably
30:13
soon. It's a pretty. It is a
30:15
pretty fascinating story. I'm on the flip
30:17
side of that. It's not the only
30:19
direction that money was being paid like
30:21
but some his also offered bounties like
30:23
essentially offering money for people to train,
30:25
reveal who he is a bug bounties
30:27
for flaws in lock it's code. It's
30:29
really funny that this ransom or as
30:31
a services offered bug bounties system I
30:33
think he made an offer to pay
30:35
anyone to got the locked at logo
30:37

30:41
a character, he's not just. Chair,

Sucky that he's an internet personality.
30:48
There's this longstanding tension between course

30:52
he's been operating this and is
30:55
more flamboyant, almost like supervillain he
30:57
persona whenever he's speaking in public.
31:01
He. Is just an interesting interesting and am
31:03
curious to see what's gonna happen now with

33:41
grocery store. It does. It does what
33:43
it is. It's like of it's. It's.
33:45
A pharmacy, grocery store and also have like
33:47
a photo department and you can buy a
33:50
P Pfizer like assist Us is an interesting
33:52
story. It's a kind of by everything store
33:54
and as know as tools to get those
33:56
two. of us and parcels their the really
33:59
like a memo to know. It's actually A
34:01
and was recently. Attacks are All
34:03
Seventy Nine London Drugs. Stores.
34:06
Across the country were shot for over
34:08
a week, leading customers with a pretty
34:10
tough time axeing prescriptions and other medical
34:12
needs. It's sad Source eclipsed it was
34:15
a sassy thing I went to one
34:17
stood outside staring in transit trying to
34:19
get my. Met. A
34:21
quest to or whenever a piece consumer electronics
34:23
any to to purchase alongside my my old
34:25
milk and I a winless in can get
34:28
inside to the been shut down by ransom
34:30
were attack yes there contingency plan from my
34:32
whether ransom I did they come on say
34:34
was rants more oh i thought it was
34:36
her it's were may not be now I
34:38
am think south stay any release very little
34:40
details or it was that he was a
34:42
breach like a full blown breed says is
34:44
the best. I said that because it is
34:47
a pharmacy the as people's personal information, medical
34:49
records and things like that and. They're
34:51
to dream. Reason was that when
34:53
they realized the breeze they literally
34:55
took the entire store. Seventy nine
34:57
locations offline, locked the doors and
34:59
put signs on thing on the
35:01
front door being like sorry we
35:03
have been the victim of a
35:05
cybercrime and we're really investigating and
35:07
until further notice we're close. So
35:10
they were sent for what it's like, easily
35:13
a week. I don't the exactly what about.
35:15
I think he was around a week at
35:17
an author's a day, seven days Ny as
35:19
but for about a week you couldn't I
35:21
know it. Shy shop in London Drugs was
35:23
closed. Ah. He. Was
35:25
yeah it's a fascinating is dude. there's a
35:27
win at a loss here. It's like on
35:29
one hand I actually think the idea of
35:32
like unplug the stores is is. Probably.
35:34
Kind of a good idea depending on the level of
35:36
the breach. Like to Just literally said we're not running
35:39
out of the sub, we're We're willing to acknowledge something
35:41
very very bad has happened here recently on the stores
35:43
that to me as kind of a when setting the
35:45
amount to which they have communicate about this is a
35:47
little bit more of a loss because if you go
35:49
digging. Around incredibly nice
35:52
cybercrime in Canada communities, the speculation is
35:54
just frantic and I think a lot
35:56
of people to seeing basic news coverage
35:58
about it. Part play, Worried about what
36:01
was or wasn't. Released.
36:04
Acquired. By these hackers. Everyone to think about
36:06
it either. They've come out and said that
36:08
there's been no evidence a customer data was
36:10
taken as in that was their bags. Control.
36:13
Points as they wanted to make sure they're
36:15
like if there was a breach in customer
36:18
information was touched that they didn't acquire more
36:20
customer for Mason like they are Now I'm
36:22
pretty sure that's monetary. Part of the shutdown
36:24
was they literally pulled the plug and said
36:26
let's see how bad this was an and
36:29
then was they had an open so they
36:31
reopened. I was in when the other day.
36:35
They. Are on. The. Or have
36:37
all their systems back online. Service adding
36:39
with than one of the people of
36:41
the tell and they were like our
36:44
still were operating but we're kind of
36:46
not like the rail. lots of their
36:48
data systems were still be removed and
36:50
they were able to advertising so tight.
36:52
They're still doing forensic scientists in front
36:54
of figure out exactly what has happened
36:57
so I can understand a bit of
36:59
their life lock blips. Because.
37:01
I'm still think the price has figure out what had
37:03
happened. Moving. South
37:06
Well. Let's. Both ticket over
37:08

37:10
of the money. were about to reading these

problem is that most t shirts are not
37:43
acceptable to were at work or on our
37:45
hot days it's they sponsor cuts. It
37:48
seems the game. Cause. T shirts are

45:01
That's. Where.
45:04
To Now following. This
45:06
is very brief. I don't think we
45:08
i want to get to the Cheyenne
45:10
Computer supercomputer before we before we go,
45:12
but I'm not sure if you've been
45:14
following the Earth immersing conflicts between two
45:16
of our great cultural institutions Kendrick Lamar
45:19
and Drake Com, but that story briefly
45:21
touched on a I in copyright two
45:23
things that we really like to talk
45:25
about on the show. When
45:27
Drake really to track whole tailor made
45:30
freestyle that featured in a I generated
45:32
voice mimicking the late rapper Tupac. He
45:35
follow this idea as I did. It was
45:37
has our to ignore or do is hard
45:39
to miss. It was hard to miss Ceci
45:41
with the recent shooting a Drakes house and
45:43
Sra now. Sits. Yeah
45:45
Megan, real news now. Is.
45:48
Make and real real news. It was a. Yeah.
45:51
It's a it's a wrap our from up
45:53
from a bygone age or in the middle
45:56
of this big bag of for it was
45:58
we're not going against it is not a
46:00
a pop culture music show but to very
46:02
famous musicians are having a rap battle it
46:04
accelerates he gets very uncomfortable for everyone involved
46:07
but in the middle of it and drag
46:09
release his uncle Taylor me freestyle it features
46:11
this to parks as. You. Know
46:13
a I generated voice and as
46:15
secure as states issues a legal
46:17
threat. Getting Drake to remove the
46:20
track The Stapler how can Resists use
46:22
regarding personally resin copper infringement and I
46:24
just I wanted to talk about this
46:26
because I I find it fascinating. Oh
46:28
and two things at play here. this
46:30
personality rights deep state controls the distinctive
46:32
style and public likeness of to park
46:34
and making unauthorized you straight forward to
46:36
challenge but and is awesome the copyright
46:38
element of it which is really fascinating
46:40
an Ai cases more complex. And
46:43
it involves two bucks recordings and songs. And
46:45
the me legal question here is the permissibility
46:48
of using. A I to Replicate
46:50
to Pox style which invariably involves
46:52
copying from his original works In
46:54
order to replicate to Pox voice
46:57
effectively day I am and must
46:59
access and print copies of those
47:01
recordings. This act itself could constitute
47:03
copyright infringement which I care severe
47:06
penalties of up to hundred fifty
47:08
as us hundred fifty thousand dollars
47:10
us per work. Which.
47:13
Depending on the number of to park
47:15
tracks were used to process and create
47:17
the model could total significant amounts. Pretty.
47:20
Pretty big money on the line here
47:22
in it Raises this really interesting question
47:24
every time we get a new piece
47:26
of technology. Digital technology. Has.
47:28
To create copies of things to function
47:30
and that puts it at odds with
47:33
copyright pa do. When we got Vhs
47:35
cassette tapes, we had to go through
47:37
a court process of figuring out who
47:39
you know what's legal With this is
47:41
it is creating a copy of the
47:43
cassette tape? Legal? Is the cassette tape
47:45
pushing it to the television? Kind of
47:48
creating a colleague. It's all ambiguous. When
47:50
we got computers, the exact same thing
47:52
happened. Computers create, copy the files all
47:54
the time. It's all very blurry. what
47:56
is and isn't and allowed use. And
47:59
were clinic going through that right now with
48:01
a i try to figure out are these
48:03
copies Is it interpretations? what's going on here
48:05
and his passing to see that come up
48:07
in the context of a rap battle. Or
48:10
that nursing that I also enjoyed about
48:12
this is that Drake. ah I was
48:14
gonna say the victim but I don't
48:16
allow us to describe it but somebody
48:18
had it's as had made a Sage
48:20
Drake songs the got super popular yeah
48:22
Ghostwriter, the tartars hard on my sleeve
48:25
and I was taken the weekends and
48:27
a he was one of the first
48:29
people to be like. Targeted.
48:31
By this use of technology and
48:33
didn't like it very much and
48:35
was pretty vocal about of on
48:37
the internet and now you're using
48:39
it himself in a in a
48:41
in a scrap. With. Another
48:43
apparatus and enough circle
48:45
those rounds. Interesting. Yeah.
48:48
It's a really good point. I'd completely forgotten about that.
48:50
That was the first big viral A I tracks as
48:52
Drake and he i think you're at it he wasn't
48:54
too fond of it's I would at interesting I would
48:57
say that I haven't heard any other. a barrel of
48:59
A I tracked sense that have you like his era
49:01
an ai. I listen to the tailor made freestyle one.
49:03
I was kind of following this. it was happening over
49:05
the weekend in it. As. We
49:08
were hanging out with her a group of friends,
49:10
one of whom also likes hip hop and so
49:12
her and I were talking about it quite a
49:14
bit says. I caught the the
49:16
Drake track before we move on to
49:18
I think probably the last thing that
49:20
I wanna talk about which is the
49:22
story that we start of the episode
49:24
with is not a lot to it
49:26
is it's fascinating to me is be
49:28
shy and supercomputer arm and again one
49:30
of the nor least cases of tax
49:32
depreciation I think I've ever heard. So
49:36
the science of computer was assault the
49:38
Ncr Wyoming Supercomputer Center during the second
49:40
half of Twenty Sixteen. He was originally
49:43
used for climate modeling, weather and climate
49:45
research in support of National Science Foundation,
49:47
other scientific endeavors across Wyoming a nationwide.
49:49
It was like a big story when
49:52
he built as he was like a
49:54
heartland America supercomputer and it was sort
49:56
of bleeding edge at a time. Back
49:59
and Twenty Sixteen. I
50:01
got the numbers up in front of
50:03
me: eight thousand, Sixty four Intel Xeon,
50:05
he five to six, nine, seven V
50:07
for processors each with eating corps and
50:10
thirty six threads a two point three
50:12
gigahertz valued about fifty bucks each shown
50:14
time recording on E Bay at not
50:16
what they cost when it was built
50:18
I'm and a bunch of stories of
50:20
is not included in the sale and
50:22
is massive massive super computer. Goes.
50:24
Up for auction. The auction itself becomes
50:26
a story. twenty seven bettors. It was
50:29
covered in length by bunch different folks
50:31
at Tom's Hardware. Tom's Hardware coverage was
50:33
really, really good. They're following it very
50:35
closely. That's who I was reading is
50:38
it went I'm and it was sold
50:40
off at auction for about four hundred
50:42
thousand dollars. Reasonable. Reasonable.
50:45
Reasonable? Yeah, I. Saw
50:47
and estimates to debts or the potential resale
50:49
value. The processes and ram which is what
50:51
they bought can reach about seven hundred thousand
50:54
dollars if all of the components function properly.
50:56
Ah that is a Big East they were
50:58
is use at the site as intersect water,
51:00
leakage and stuff. It's not totally clear how
51:03
good a shape this is all in, but
51:05
it is like the most extreme version of
51:07
through those shows where you buy an old
51:09
storage locker in hopes of the buildings are
51:11
some things so I you know it's worse.
51:14
Say it's like the most extreme version of
51:16
storage or. As of ever see where it's
51:18
I were you spend four hundred thousand dollars
51:20
because if the stuff inside the storage lockers
51:23
good we could get up to seven hundred
51:25
thousand dollars for it. Like year habit his
51:27
using is like. What
51:30
can and market is there were can
51:32
a client demand is there for eight
51:34
sign and sixty four antiquated processors e
51:37
bay like circenses there he terrorist acts
51:39
dollars and you can says never talk
51:41
about a gonna make money from As
51:44
for like actually find a market like
51:46
I can understand somebody wanting to buy
51:48
a budget supercomputer liked even though it's.
51:51
Antiquated for today's date. Surmount
51:54
of fussier processing power and has
51:57
to kind of rebuild this modern
51:59
technology would. We still costs more
52:01
than four hundred and eighty thousand
52:03
dollars. So like food released by a
52:05
budget supercomputer? like if you were in
52:08
the in the market for needing i
52:10
don't know say a massive password tracking
52:12
device or a loser insert chess algorithm
52:15
A I hear this sub pretty good
52:17
deal Deal takes you from zero
52:19
to you know, seventy five percent for
52:21
a reasonable amount of money. It's not
52:24
twenty five million. Yeah, It
52:26
really reads like dirt. I. Don't
52:28
get the said for gonna try and do
52:30
anything with this. I get the sense to
52:32
go to sell it off for some parts
52:34
and part of what makes you think that
52:37
is it. Part of the terms of the
52:39
sale is that the buyer must handle the
52:41
removal of Science Thirty server racks which include
52:43
tweet processing racks to air cooled management racks.
52:45
ah the will receive no logistical support from
52:47
the government and to sell did not include
52:50
Eastern at her optical cable in required for
52:52
operation slowly. me feel like it's we just
52:54
want this space back says you can get
52:56
the shit out Still sell. It to for
52:58
four hundred thousand dollars. Like it really feels
53:01
like it's like it is to scrap to
53:03
us at this point. Spear right? It. It
53:05
one man's trash. You know it's nice. Probably
53:08
do something pretty interesting with the Cia Alligator
53:10
I. It's like it is. Each ship has
53:12
eighteen cores. Sense that you have a hundred
53:15
and forty five thousand, one hundred and sixty
53:17
two cores. And as
53:19
eaters course, cable threads Thirty two threads
53:21
Eat have two hundred and fifty thousand
53:23
and forty eight threads. Which.
53:26
Is did the my lot like you know,
53:28
I'm sitting here on earth and I've had
53:30
a be Pc Terry next to me and
53:32
it's got thirty two threads like imagine with
53:34
two hundred and sixty eight thousand dresses like
53:36
like that makes. At around that
53:38
it I am sad that they're just
53:41
dissembling and scrapping it as he like.
53:43
There was only there was a cool
53:45
second home and second use their for
53:47
like one of the world's big supercomputers.
53:49
This. Is an aside. I
53:52
was following recently a story about increased
53:54
so we're gonna need a lot more
53:57
servers like a I is going to
53:59
of course. Yeah if or for however
54:01
much we have for how would a sinner the
54:03
man is it's gonna go through the freak and
54:05
roof. And that alone
54:07
is interesting because is increasing demand a
54:10
large, incredibly demanded. Product. We talked
54:12
about doesn't lot less hall and hacked. But
54:16
the thing I find fascinating is. A.
54:19
Bunch of really big tech companies
54:21
such. he started investing in nuclear
54:23
energy projects a nice because of
54:25
like just starting to do basic
54:27
forecasting of like the sheer amount
54:29
of energy that we are going
54:31
to consume. Bringing.
54:34
This. Product. Nice. Getting.
54:37
This into everyone hands. It's going
54:39
to consume an obscene amount of
54:41
money. Com and Nuclear might be.
54:44
Really? The most immediate option for
54:46
you know of renewable energy source that
54:48
could provide the energy needed for a
54:50
I he as bad as a whole
54:52
and Vassar prospectus about the stuff going
54:54
on and then that since release around
54:56
data center grass and and what a
54:58
mean tas processing and habits power and
55:00
more data centers are gonna need been
55:02
a lot of the big tech companies
55:04
and a lot of the governmental initiative
55:06
to reduce carbon output. The obvious he
55:08
says in the past power as equals
55:10
carbon the I you want more power
55:12
to make our carbon. So
55:15
is masses. Undertakings
55:17
to try and figure out. Okay, where for
55:19
going in this direction? where we're gonna like.
55:23
And I'll. Stick. Goes out
55:25
on the power use. our going to
55:27
fulfill that without making carbon sent to
55:29
goes up like and can't burn more
55:32
coal. China. Is burning Merkel
55:34
by like North America I think send
55:36
a lot of that develop more developed
55:38
countries are the chances are developed are
55:40
are looking at ways sas. To.
55:43
Really ramps up. Sorry I didn't surprise me
55:45
at all. I think that they smell a
55:47
Pr crisis. yeah and it's that these tools.
55:49
At a certain point the excitement about what
55:52
they could become wears off, the growth slows
55:54
and it becomes a question of is what
55:56
we're getting out of these tools worse he
55:58
frankly catastrophic energy consumed. Levels that are required
56:00
to do it and I think that what they're
56:03
trying to do is create a a little bit
56:05
of are starting to build the case for no
56:07
no no. We're. Not consuming.
56:10
Energy That was going to. We've we got
56:12
our own energy. We're making our own clean
56:14
energy. You don't need to worry about it.
56:16
We're not contribute to the problem. I'm not
56:18
sure. That. On a global
56:20
carbon footprint level, that argument holds water,
56:22
but I think it is. The argument
56:24
that is attempting to be constructed is
56:27
that we're creating our own age energy.
56:29
For this editor, I find it fascinating.
56:31
Was quite the rappeled a goddamn. I'm
56:34
curious to hear more about the
56:36
investor perspective side of the hey
56:38
easy. Say that about Pr nightmare?
56:40
Yes. And here we set like
56:42
sixteen years in and as a
56:44
coin, still crew than a loss.
56:46
Yeah, turning power into the utility.
56:48
The decline bring society is all
56:50
that. utilities. I mean, As
56:53
if Bitcoin was. That
56:56
sucks to, I guess is what I'm trying to say.
57:00
Like know that was bad as well.
57:02
Flick? I don't like that one at
57:04
all. I'm by. you know, Google doesn't
57:06
own it right? Like these massive public
57:09
rec rated companies that do have to
57:11
answer to and some one at some
57:13
point on some board or some shareholder.
57:16
A. Hour. And. A?
57:19
I'm I'm curious. actually. What The? A?
57:21
Global. Global. Emissions of Crypto
57:23
versus the global emissions as a I
57:25
are at currently and the point at
57:27
which those two lines intersect and one
57:29
becomes greater than the other. I think
57:31
that's actually, now that you mention it,
57:33
a really, really interesting question. A
57:37
Twenty Twenty Two, Two Thousand Twenty
57:40
Two non peer reviewed commentary published
57:42
by Jolie estimated that between mining
57:44
resulted in annual carbon emission of
57:46
sixty five emcees of C O
57:48
Two representing approximately point two percent
57:51
of global emissions that was Crypto,
57:53
which is comparable to the level
57:55
of the emissions for the entire
57:57
country of Greece. Yeah,
58:01
wow, he was non peer reviewed so
58:03
like scherzer a grain of salt but
58:05
it is fascinating in the south year.
58:08
And will be wonder worth digging into
58:10
more on our third show with in
58:13
a shell out some carbon emissions of
58:15
wacky tech I. Must
58:17
keep going down. This allows us
58:19
as as talk about we haven't
58:21
had an accent that over ever
58:23
since since a good twenty five
58:26
minutes ago System A Sign: Coin
58:28
Mining A You ends have report
58:30
suggested Bitcoin Mining has admitted approximately
58:32
eighty six and season C O
58:34
two during the twenty twenty to
58:36
twenty twenty One period. So that
58:38
is. About. That's
58:41
sixty percent higher. The last summer he
58:43
retakes foods he didn't says eighty six,
58:45
so. Yeah so
58:48
a grease and ask recent releases increase in
58:50
the house and a bit you like to
58:52
see and you need to surveillance and nuclear
58:54
reactors if we were going to have a
58:56
process and he don't were all collectively could
58:59
continue having. a very big problem is is
59:01
this is really fascinates as long as as
59:03
long as a I produces more utility for
59:05
society than crypto I think people because it
59:08
yeah but if I could see a crypto
59:10
companies in a building nuclear reactor so they're
59:12
not using the same energy like pulling from
59:14
the same her that I am I would
59:17
do. That if I thought I would
59:19
but I don't think I can
59:21
so much is it go over
59:23
here. I believe that exist. At
59:26
all as Agassi be like as relax or
59:28
by the gimmickry go away our topic now
59:30
and as we elect fighting create in the
59:32
demands on a grander becoming more and more
59:34
selling know yes Three missing Use Electric Seat
59:37
in are you in Vancouver the home of
59:39
the He pumps and. That.
59:42
As we go down that unless you the
59:44
case and thing and as we introduce more
59:47
non sincere renewables to the grid. I.
59:49
Think those data companies have to be
59:51
looking at ways to make sure that
59:53
their services are providing a consistent basis
59:56
because insists I think Wind and Solar
59:58
and Battery Technologies is no need. The
1:00:00
Be Fresh use it as an actual
1:00:02
storage device for that scales. Serve
1:00:05
as an I think they have to like new
1:00:07
to me. Seems like it's gonna be one of
1:00:09
the I things that they can really truly get
1:00:11
into that would check all the boxes as long
1:00:14
as it doesn't mean. Cause
1:00:16
greater harm. Yeah, I'm of the letter
1:00:18
thousand flowers bloom approach when it comes
1:00:20
to renew Ma'am We're off topic, but
1:00:22
when it comes to renewable energy, I
1:00:24
don't I'm I'm agnostic. If if you
1:00:26
can produce a megawatt of energy with.
1:00:30
Do. As little emissions as possible go out
1:00:32
at you and your geothermal. Fantastic. You need
1:00:34
to be slowed nuclear. That's cool. You want
1:00:36
to rig up some crazy. We push water
1:00:38
up a mountain and like gravity bring it
1:00:40
back down to turn turbines like go for
1:00:43
it. I think this is a it's cool
1:00:45
tech adding is necessary tech rate I say.
1:00:47
I. Say try it all. Totally. Totally.
1:00:51
Just. Like to say that rabbit and
1:00:54
the he made in China anthrax try
1:00:56
it on maybe have to these engineering
1:00:58
design it's yo teenagers nearing solar panels
1:01:01
for your house? get. On.
1:01:03
It they would move some units. Could
1:01:05
you imagine it would move Eunice. They.
1:01:08
Would move now and they really sell. Like
1:01:10
Alison as an anachronism team is nearing. I
1:01:12
love you. buy your products. There's an area
1:01:14
Sir and Seven Veils. Been on a boutique?
1:01:16
Super people? Yeah, not it's is now utility
1:01:18
grade saffron We can to save money on
1:01:21
my power beller like produce a little bit
1:01:23
less car in the and yet I see
1:01:25
that little Opie One synthesizer. There's an interesting
1:01:27
overlap with people that love that company and
1:01:29
I. I love the way the stuff looks,
1:01:31
but and then people that love to spend
1:01:33
compulsively large amounts of money on A weird
1:01:36
thing that no one really nice. but. God
1:01:38
you just want to have a sitting on
1:01:40
the shelf. Yeah like the Opie One synthesizer
1:01:42
of solar panels is not a good idea
1:01:45
but it might be a greatest says all
1:01:47
these physical nods and sixty nine length right
1:01:49
the primary color right yellow when you know
1:01:51
and meet see high what is his do
1:01:54
like an I need why am I on
1:01:56
it Okay I think that's it. I'm.
1:01:58
As you think we're we're after. We're out and
1:02:00
were after else are they grocery bags through
1:02:03
it for make it into the and to
