You're >> there's any other way to do it. You're >> there's any other way to do it. You're >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, you're you're measuring temperature, >> So, you're you're measuring temperature, >> So, you're you're measuring temperature, soil moisture, nutrients.

  4. soil moisture, nutrients. soil moisture, nutrients. >> Everything, yeah. >> Everything, yeah. >> Everything, yeah. >> There's something called uh NPK. >> There's something called uh NPK. >> There's something called uh NPK. Nitrogen, blah blah blah, potassium, Nitrogen, blah blah blah, potassium, Nitrogen, blah blah blah, potassium, whatever. And um whatever. And um whatever. And um And the reason you care about that, And the reason you care about that, And the reason you care about that, you know, sometimes it get too much to you know, sometimes it get too much to you know, sometimes it get too much to the to our when we're growing crops, you the to our when we're growing crops, you the to our when we're growing crops, you know, like you know, like people talk know, like you know, like people talk know, like you know, like people talk about over-fertilizing. about over-fertilizing. about over-fertilizing. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Uh and fertilizer can run into run off >> Uh and fertilizer can run into run off >> Uh and fertilizer can run into run off into rivers. That's bad juju, it's not into rivers. That's bad juju, it's not into rivers. That's bad juju, it's not good. And um good. And um good. And um And so when you monitor the soil And so when you monitor the soil And so when you monitor the soil nutrients like NPK and other things, nutrients like NPK and other things, nutrients like NPK and other things, it's back to that precision agriculture it's back to that precision agriculture it's back to that precision agriculture that says, "Oh, no, I don't need to over that says, "Oh, no, I don't need to over that says, "Oh, no, I don't need to over fertilize. No, I'm good to go here. I'll fertilize. No, I'm good to go here. I'll fertilize. No, I'm good to go here. I'll be precise in how I fertilize rather be precise in how I fertilize rather be precise in how I fertilize rather than just randomly spraying everything, than just randomly spraying everything, than just randomly spraying everything, right?" right?" right?" >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Um and then the same with the water, >> Um and then the same with the water, >> Um and then the same with the water, right? Um you know, right? Um you know, right? Um you know, >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> when my crops need water, when my vines >> when my crops need water, when my vines >> when my crops need water, when my vines need water, and how much. And then as need water, and how much. And then as need water, and how much. And then as soon as they're good to go, we're going soon as they're good to go, we're going soon as they're good to go, we're going to shut that stuff off. to shut that stuff off. to shut that stuff off. >> Hey, you know what? Uh uh we could see a >> Hey, you know what? Uh uh we could see a >> Hey, you know what? Uh uh we could see a lot better now.

  5. lot better now. lot better now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh yeah, cuz you were really really Uh yeah, cuz you were really really Uh yeah, cuz you were really really jittery and all of a sudden jittery and all of a sudden jittery and all of a sudden your your uh uplink quality got a hell your your uh uplink quality got a hell your your uh uplink quality got a hell of a lot better. of a lot better. of a lot better. So, that's cool. Yeah. Wow. So, that's cool. Yeah. Wow. So, that's cool. Yeah. Wow. >> I I switched to 6G. >> I I switched to 6G. >> I I switched to 6G. >> You did. >> You did. >> You did. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> 6G, wow, incredible. You You heard it >> 6G, wow, incredible. You You heard it >> 6G, wow, incredible. You You heard it here first. here first. here first. >> We're We're the first [laughter] >> We're We're the first [laughter] >> We're We're the first [laughter] This is the first podcast with 6G This is the first podcast with 6G This is the first podcast with 6G in the planet. in the planet. in the planet. >> 6G, official. >> 6G, official. >> 6G, official. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> Yeah, this is official. >> Yeah, this is official. >> Yeah, this is official. So, how was How was Denmark? How was TM? So, how was How was Denmark? How was TM? So, how was How was Denmark? How was TM? >> Uh >> Uh >> Uh yeah, it's it's a great show. Um you yeah, it's it's a great show. Um you yeah, it's it's a great show. Um you know, know, know, you always learn something and it's you always learn something and it's you always learn something and it's always great to get a sense of the pace always great to get a sense of the pace always great to get a sense of the pace of adoption and uh of adoption and uh of adoption and uh you know, actual deployments of all you know, actual deployments of all you know, actual deployments of all flavors of AI. You know, where where flavors of AI. You know, where where flavors of AI. You know, where where these guys are on their journey toward these guys are on their journey toward these guys are on their journey toward autonomous networks and stuff. So, autonomous networks and stuff. So, autonomous networks and stuff. So, uh yeah, it's it's good. Uh and you uh yeah, it's it's good. Uh and you uh yeah, it's it's good. Uh and you know, the cool thing is is know, the cool thing is is know, the cool thing is is it's so dense and it's all about uh it's so dense and it's all about uh it's so dense and it's all about uh innovation cuz they have these catalyst innovation cuz they have these catalyst innovation cuz they have these catalyst programs and stuff that are really well programs and stuff that are really well programs and stuff that are really well done.

  6. done. done. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Um uh and yeah, had a >> Um uh and yeah, had a >> Um uh and yeah, had a uh uh I had [clears throat] a run-in uh uh I had [clears throat] a run-in uh uh I had [clears throat] a run-in with uh tons of companies with uh tons of companies with uh tons of companies and talked about and talked about and talked about I actually presented on open what is it I actually presented on open what is it I actually presented on open what is it network APIs which was funny. network APIs which was funny. network APIs which was funny. Yeah, my my my first slide Yeah, my my my first slide Yeah, my my my first slide so they have this weird format there. so they have this weird format there. so they have this weird format there. You have to You have to You have to you have to present stuff in 15 minutes you have to present stuff in 15 minutes you have to present stuff in 15 minutes and I wanted to cram all the stuff and I wanted to cram all the stuff and I wanted to cram all the stuff basically 15 slides in the 15 minutes basically 15 slides in the 15 minutes basically 15 slides in the 15 minutes which was not what I should do. which was not what I should do. which was not what I should do. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> And so I was like I was like frantically >> And so I was like I was like frantically >> And so I was like I was like frantically trying to stuff all the stuff all these trying to stuff all the stuff all these trying to stuff all the stuff all these talking points into talking points into talking points into >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> into 15 minutes and I went I ended up >> into 15 minutes and I went I ended up >> into 15 minutes and I went I ended up running like running like running like 3 minutes over 3 minutes over 3 minutes over but you know like the whole time I've but you know like the whole time I've but you know like the whole time I've like you know tried to rush like you know tried to rush like you know tried to rush >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> all my talking points and um >> all my talking points and um >> all my talking points and um anyways anyways anyways it was well received and it was well received and it was well received and my first my first my first my first what do you call it slide was my first what do you call it slide was my first what do you call it slide was um um um you know rule number one in innovating you know rule number one in innovating you know rule number one in innovating on a network APIs stop talking about on a network APIs stop talking about on a network APIs stop talking about APIs and oh by the way APIs and oh by the way APIs and oh by the way you don't monetize APIs.

  7. you don't monetize APIs. you don't monetize APIs. No one no one buys APIs. No one no one buys APIs. No one no one buys APIs. >> But people but you know what? I remember >> But people but you know what? I remember >> But people but you know what? I remember the early days of this whole API thing the early days of this whole API thing the early days of this whole API thing and even prior when they had proprietary and even prior when they had proprietary and even prior when they had proprietary APIs there were mobile operators who APIs there were mobile operators who APIs there were mobile operators who said if I give you if you're a said if I give you if you're a said if I give you if you're a subscriber to my network and I give you subscriber to my network and I give you subscriber to my network and I give you a little app that's a button and maybe a little app that's a button and maybe a little app that's a button and maybe you're at a football game and you need you're at a football game and you need you're at a football game and you need you need 10 minutes of more bandwidth you need 10 minutes of more bandwidth you need 10 minutes of more bandwidth you're going to push this button and I'm you're going to push this button and I'm you're going to push this button and I'm going to charge you 10 bucks and I'm going to charge you 10 bucks and I'm going to charge you 10 bucks and I'm going to give I'm going to give you going to give I'm going to give you going to give I'm going to give you insane bandwidth for a little bit. Stuff insane bandwidth for a little bit. Stuff insane bandwidth for a little bit. Stuff I remember I just remember ideas like I remember I just remember ideas like I remember I just remember ideas like that floating around you know. that floating around you know. that floating around you know. >> Yeah yeah. >> Yeah yeah. >> Yeah yeah. >> I don't know. >> I don't know. >> I don't know. >> And that that that's >> And that that that's >> And that that that's >> Like right now like right now like right >> Like right now like right now like right >> Like right now like right now like right now we're lucky cuz I have 6G on this now we're lucky cuz I have 6G on this now we're lucky cuz I have 6G on this new phone from the future. new phone from the future. new phone from the future. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> But, if I was a normal human being, I >> But, if I was a normal human being, I >> But, if I was a normal human being, I might say, "Got some in the middle of might say, "Got some in the middle of might say, "Got some in the middle of nowhere. I need you to move a satellite nowhere. I need you to move a satellite nowhere. I need you to move a satellite uplink in my direction right now. I'm uplink in my direction right now. I'm uplink in my direction right now. I'm going to push a button and call an API going to push a button and call an API going to push a button and call an API that has the satellite aim at me." And that has the satellite aim at me." And that has the satellite aim at me." And and some other weird stuff I'm making and some other weird stuff I'm making and some other weird stuff I'm making up, and we're going to get good up, and we're going to get good up, and we're going to get good connectivity.

  8. connectivity. connectivity. >> Even though uplink is inherently crappy >> Even though uplink is inherently crappy >> Even though uplink is inherently crappy for satellite, but yeah. No, I I get for satellite, but yeah. No, I I get for satellite, but yeah. No, I I get your point. Maybe even downlink. But, um your point. Maybe even downlink. But, um your point. Maybe even downlink. But, um >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Uh >> Uh >> Uh >> What if we start a new company that's >> What if we start a new company that's >> What if we start a new company that's all about uplink performance, man? all about uplink performance, man? all about uplink performance, man? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You know what? >> You know what? >> You know what? >> Dude. >> Dude. >> Dude. >> I'm seeing people >> I'm seeing people >> I'm seeing people >> now everyone's talking about it. >> now everyone's talking about it. >> now everyone's talking about it. >> I know so many I'm seeing so many >> I know so many I'm seeing so many >> I know so many I'm seeing so many startups coming out of nowhere in the startups coming out of nowhere in the startups coming out of nowhere in the last 2 months that are space-based data last 2 months that are space-based data last 2 months that are space-based data centers. I'm not even I'm not even centers. I'm not even I'm not even centers. I'm not even I'm not even talking about Google. I'm talking about talking about Google. I'm talking about talking about Google. I'm talking about random people. Like, "Yeah, random people. Like, "Yeah, random people. Like, "Yeah, [clears throat] we're going to do it." [clears throat] we're going to do it." [clears throat] we're going to do it." And people are like, "Yes, how much And people are like, "Yes, how much And people are like, "Yes, how much money can I give you?" money can I give you?" money can I give you?" >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And so, it turns out you just say we're >> And so, it turns out you just say we're >> And so, it turns out you just say we're doing it and we're doing it. And, you doing it and we're doing it. And, you doing it and we're doing it. And, you know, here's here's where you need to know, here's here's where you need to know, here's here's where you need to wire the money to our Cayman bank wire the money to our Cayman bank wire the money to our Cayman bank account. account. account. >> Yeah. Well, you know, it it's like with >> Yeah. Well, you know, it it's like with >> Yeah. Well, you know, it it's like with physical AI and robotics, everyone physical AI and robotics, everyone physical AI and robotics, everyone started jumping in as soon as the started jumping in as soon as the started jumping in as soon as the buzzword got hot. It's you know, it's buzzword got hot. It's you know, it's buzzword got hot. It's you know, it's like domain names, man. like domain names, man. like domain names, man. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Now, it's like people just you know, >> Now, it's like people just you know, >> Now, it's like people just you know, trying to get in get their domain name trying to get in get their domain name trying to get in get their domain name and try to turn around and sell it for and try to turn around and sell it for and try to turn around and sell it for like 3,000 bucks or some like that, like 3,000 bucks or some like that, like 3,000 bucks or some like that, you know?

  9. you know? you know? It's This is not how It's This is not how It's This is not how you build an economy. You know what I'm you build an economy. You know what I'm you build an economy. You know what I'm saying? It It's just It's just all of saying? It It's just It's just all of saying? It It's just It's just all of this is just turning into a joke where this is just turning into a joke where this is just turning into a joke where people are people are people are basically just trying to make names off basically just trying to make names off basically just trying to make names off of domain of domain of domain You know, money off of domain names. You You know, money off of domain names. You You know, money off of domain names.

El Diabolo, it's like a Mexican fighting chicken, it's like a Mexican fighting chicken, it's like a Mexican fighting chicken, you know, things like that. That's all you know, things like that. That's all you know, things like that. That's all good. good. good. Did you see my friend Did you see my friend Did you see my friend Axel? Axel? Axel? >> Uh Axel, yeah. Yeah. >> Uh Axel, yeah. Yeah. >> Uh Axel, yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Oh dude, dude, dude. I the approach >> Oh dude, dude, dude. I the approach >> Oh dude, dude, dude. I the approach these guys have is just so cool. So, you these guys have is just so cool. So, you these guys have is just so cool. So, you know, they're handing out little badges. know, they're handing out little badges. know, they're handing out little badges. So, it's Pegasus Systems, right? So, it's Pegasus Systems, right? So, it's Pegasus Systems, right? >> Yeah, right. >> Yeah, right. >> Yeah, right. >> do like workflow management, BPM, uh you >> do like workflow management, BPM, uh you >> do like workflow management, BPM, uh you know, like analytics and data stuff, but know, like analytics and data stuff, but know, like analytics and data stuff, but mostly like BPM auto based automation.

  10. mostly like BPM auto based automation. mostly like BPM auto based automation. And And And um um um it it was so funny cuz they they were it it was so funny cuz they they were it it was so funny cuz they they were handing out bad these little pins that handing out bad these little pins that handing out bad these little pins that said no tokens. said no tokens. said no tokens. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> I love it. No tokens. >> I love it. No tokens. >> I love it. No tokens. >> Oh dude, I was like, "Oh my god." >> Oh dude, I was like, "Oh my god." >> Oh dude, I was like, "Oh my god." Then, you know, these guys like Then, you know, these guys like Then, you know, these guys like they proceeded, you know, I dropped by they proceeded, you know, I dropped by they proceeded, you know, I dropped by their booth and they proceeded to hog up their booth and they proceeded to hog up their booth and they proceeded to hog up like a lot of my time, but they were so like a lot of my time, but they were so like a lot of my time, but they were so excited to just you know, get in my face excited to just you know, get in my face excited to just you know, get in my face and tell me about their approach. And and tell me about their approach. And and tell me about their approach. And it's so interesting, man. Their whole it's so interesting, man. Their whole it's so interesting, man. Their whole approach is approach is approach is how to how to how to how to to get to how to to get to how to to get to a automation configuration that gets you a automation configuration that gets you a automation configuration that gets you as close to autonomous as possible as close to autonomous as possible as close to autonomous as possible where the agent where the agent where the agent uh is positioned to burn the least uh is positioned to burn the least uh is positioned to burn the least amount of tokens, deliver reliability, amount of tokens, deliver reliability, amount of tokens, deliver reliability, and you know, for whatever task, but and you know, for whatever task, but and you know, for whatever task, but it's like literally taking a whole it's like literally taking a whole it's like literally taking a whole process flow, looking at decisions that process flow, looking at decisions that process flow, looking at decisions that need to be made, determining, "Okay, can need to be made, determining, "Okay, can need to be made, determining, "Okay, can a LLM or a a LLM or a a LLM or a agent, you know, agent, you know, agent, you know, GenAI driven agent GenAI driven agent GenAI driven agent be valuable here?" And then configure it be valuable here?" And then configure it be valuable here?" And then configure it in a way where in a way where in a way where it's going to do some valuable stuff it's going to do some valuable stuff it's going to do some valuable stuff without burning a ton of tokens.

And so is the take And so is the take And so is the take so all of a sudden, let's just think so all of a sudden, let's just think so all of a sudden, let's just think about that for a second. about that for a second. about that for a second. Lots of companies, lots of enterprises Lots of companies, lots of enterprises Lots of companies, lots of enterprises because so many people are just like, because so many people are just like, because so many people are just like, you know, drinking the Kool-Aid, they're you know, drinking the Kool-Aid, they're you know, drinking the Kool-Aid, they're all taking dependencies on these LLMs, all taking dependencies on these LLMs, all taking dependencies on these LLMs, these frontier models to run all these these frontier models to run all these these frontier models to run all these enterprise systems. enterprise systems. enterprise systems. All of a sudden, there's the possibility All of a sudden, there's the possibility All of a sudden, there's the possibility that you could have the rug pulled out that you could have the rug pulled out that you could have the rug pulled out from under your whole system because the from under your whole system because the from under your whole system because the US government says, "We need to shut US government says, "We need to shut US government says, "We need to shut that down." Or now these people can't that down." Or now these people can't that down." Or now these people can't use it. use it. use it. Who in their right mind would take a Who in their right mind would take a Who in their right mind would take a dependency on things where dependency on things where dependency on things where there's not a guarantee that it's going there's not a guarantee that it's going there's not a guarantee that it's going to be there. If if US government can to be there. If if US government can to be there.

I was at the world internet com I was at the world internet com I was at the world internet com conference which is conference which is conference which is that you know, big it's sort of like the it's sort of like the the the the how would you I describe it? how would you I describe it? how would you I describe it? Anyways, it's it's it's that Anyways, it's it's it's that Anyways, it's it's it's that big big big digital tech conference that Xi Jinping digital tech conference that Xi Jinping digital tech conference that Xi Jinping really sponsored because it's really sponsored because it's really sponsored because it's it takes place in Wuzhen which is it takes place in Wuzhen which is it takes place in Wuzhen which is in the province that he used to be the in the province that he used to be the in the province that he used to be the governor of.

  17. governor of. governor of. Anyway, long story short, Anyway, long story short, Anyway, long story short, the theme at that time was digital the theme at that time was digital the theme at that time was digital sovereignty. So that's what the Chinese sovereignty. So that's what the Chinese sovereignty. So that's what the Chinese were pitching at the time. were pitching at the time. were pitching at the time. >> Yeah. Right. >> Yeah. Right. >> Yeah. Right. >> And everybody thought that was like such >> And everybody thought that was like such >> And everybody thought that was like such a a a anti-movement anti-movement anti-movement global movement type of thing, right? global movement type of thing, right? global movement type of thing, right? Because the whole idea was everything Because the whole idea was everything Because the whole idea was everything should be global, everything should be should be global, everything should be should be global, everything should be open, China, you should open up. And you open, China, you should open up. And you open, China, you should open up. And you know, there was a lot of pressure know, there was a lot of pressure know, there was a lot of pressure globally in the region to have China globally in the region to have China globally in the region to have China open up their markets and you know, uh open up their markets and you know, uh open up their markets and you know, uh but this whole agenda of digital but this whole agenda of digital but this whole agenda of digital sovereignty and they wanted to promote sovereignty and they wanted to promote sovereignty and they wanted to promote it um you know, through the companies it um you know, through the companies it um you know, through the companies like Huawei, which at the time had it like Huawei, which at the time had it like Huawei, which at the time had it didn't have the notoriety that they had didn't have the notoriety that they had didn't have the notoriety that they had until maybe about 2018 when all of a until maybe about 2018 when all of a until maybe about 2018 when all of a sudden everybody learned who Huawei was, sudden everybody learned who Huawei was, sudden everybody learned who Huawei was, right? Um right? Um right? Um but but but it you know, now it you know, now it you know, now the rules have flipped.

  18. the rules have flipped. the rules have flipped. China is for open. China is for open. China is for open. The US The US The US is driving sovereignty. is driving sovereignty. is driving sovereignty. It's I mean, where Europe and and It's I mean, where Europe and and It's I mean, where Europe and and everyone was criticizing China back in, everyone was criticizing China back in, everyone was criticizing China back in, you know, you know, you know, uh 2017 uh 2017 uh 2017 for and you know, the Western world was for and you know, the Western world was for and you know, the Western world was basically maligning China for that basically maligning China for that basically maligning China for that sovereign agenda and now they're the sovereign agenda and now they're the sovereign agenda and now they're the ones ones ones uh taking up that mantle, you know. uh taking up that mantle, you know. uh taking up that mantle, you know. Which is I dude, it is so ironic. It Which is I dude, it is so ironic. It Which is I dude, it is so ironic.

So, all our talks automation stack. So, all our talks automation stack. So, all our talks about IoT and digital twins and about IoT and digital twins and about IoT and digital twins and knowledge, you know, we've been knowledge, you know, we've been knowledge, you know, we've been uh you know, um we've been talking about uh you know, um we've been talking about uh you know, um we've been talking about knowledge how and you know, I've been knowledge how and you know, I've been knowledge how and you know, I've been saying this for years, AI is about saying this for years, AI is about saying this for years, AI is about knowledge, it's not about data, right?

  21. knowledge, it's not about data, right? knowledge, it's not about data, right? Uh it models react to data. Uh it models react to data. Uh it models react to data. You know, the AI the AI is based on uh You know, the AI the AI is based on uh You know, the AI the AI is based on uh knowledge. Now, everyone's talking about knowledge. Now, everyone's talking about knowledge. Now, everyone's talking about knowledge and knowledge bases, but then knowledge and knowledge bases, but then knowledge and knowledge bases, but then it's funny because most people have no it's funny because most people have no it's funny because most people have no idea what knowledge management is like idea what knowledge management is like idea what knowledge management is like and what what it takes to curate and what what it takes to curate and what what it takes to curate knowledge.
