I was looking at this post that Dylan Patel put out at this post that Dylan Patel put out at this post that Dylan Patel put out there that completely trashed Qualcomm there that completely trashed Qualcomm there that completely trashed Qualcomm and then all these like IoT developers and then all these like IoT developers and then all these like IoT developers startups started jumping in talking startups started jumping in talking startups started jumping in talking about how Qualcomm's so hard to work about how Qualcomm's so hard to work about how Qualcomm's so hard to work with.

  9. with. with. And how Qualcomm won't provide, you And how Qualcomm won't provide, you And how Qualcomm won't provide, you know, won't deal with this unless we know, won't deal with this unless we know, won't deal with this unless we have future volumes. It's like, no have future volumes. It's like, no have future volumes. It's like, no freaking [ __ ] Of course not. I mean, freaking [ __ ] Of course not. I mean, freaking [ __ ] Of course not. I mean, you know, that's why you have the you know, that's why you have the you know, that's why you have the Arduino acquisition. And then they [ __ ] Arduino acquisition. And then they [ __ ] Arduino acquisition. And then they [ __ ] on that and at the same time. And it's on that and at the same time. And it's on that and at the same time. And it's like, what the hell is your problem? like, what the hell is your problem? like, what the hell is your problem? And you know, these people are just And you know, these people are just And you know, these people are just going mental. And first off, none of going mental. And first off, none of going mental.

And in terms of a spectrum of the day? And in terms of a spectrum of uh support for the ecosystem that uh support for the ecosystem that uh support for the ecosystem that Qualcomm Qualcomm Qualcomm is looking to provide. But I just think is looking to provide. But I just think is looking to provide. But I just think it's just funny how like these startups it's just funny how like these startups it's just funny how like these startups think like, okay, if you look at think like, okay, if you look at think like, okay, if you look at traditionally what uh Qualcomm was traditionally what uh Qualcomm was traditionally what uh Qualcomm was doing, they were doing more of the doing, they were doing more of the doing, they were doing more of the large-scale large-scale large-scale industrial IoT stuff, if they even

  10. industrial IoT stuff, if they even industrial IoT stuff, if they even um you know, were doing it. You know um you know, were doing it. You know um you know, were doing it. You know what I'm saying? They're looking for what I'm saying? They're looking for what I'm saying? They're looking for scale-out solutions uh with their core scale-out solutions uh with their core scale-out solutions uh with their core Qualcomm, you know, portfolio of SOCs Qualcomm, you know, portfolio of SOCs Qualcomm, you know, portfolio of SOCs [snorts] and stuff like that. But [snorts] and stuff like that. But [snorts] and stuff like that. But you know, for that lower-level stuff, you know, for that lower-level stuff, you know, for that lower-level stuff, yeah, the economics don't work out for yeah, the economics don't work out for yeah, the economics don't work out for them. That's why they made all these them. That's why they made all these them. That's why they made all these acquisitions, and tried to make things acquisitions, and tried to make things acquisitions, and tried to make things scale down all the way to those tiny scale down all the way to those tiny scale down all the way to those tiny little devices that require yeah, like little devices that require yeah, like little devices that require yeah, like energy harvesting, right? In order to um energy harvesting, right? In order to um energy harvesting, right? In order to um power them, because they're either so, power them, because they're either so, power them, because they're either so, you know, constrained in terms of power, you know, constrained in terms of power, you know, constrained in terms of power, or they're being deployed remotely. or they're being deployed remotely. or they're being deployed remotely.

What's the car >> I'm talking about cars. What's the car >> I'm talking about cars. What's the car situation in the US? Is it a small fleet situation in the US? Is it a small fleet situation in the US? Is it a small fleet of with Chinese cars or the tariffs of with Chinese cars or the tariffs of with Chinese cars or the tariffs >> No, there's no Chinese >> No, there's no Chinese >> No, there's no Chinese They're not they're blocked out of the They're not they're blocked out of the They're not they're blocked out of the US. Um they're worried that the US. Um they're worried that the US. Um they're worried that the electronic systems will, you know, send electronic systems will, you know, send electronic systems will, you know, send the data back to Beijing. And so uh I the data back to Beijing. And so uh I the data back to Beijing. And so uh I think the main way they're blocking them think the main way they're blocking them think the main way they're blocking them also is giant I think it's a 100% tariff also is giant I think it's a 100% tariff also is giant I think it's a 100% tariff on every car. And so you're right, I on every car. And so you're right, I on every car. And so you're right, I know you bought a a BYD know you bought a a BYD know you bought a a BYD uh car.

  15. uh car. uh car. >> How is that anyway? >> How is that anyway? >> How is that anyway? >> Is it Is it good? Has it been a good >> Is it Is it good? Has it been a good >> Is it Is it good? Has it been a good car? car? car? >> Yeah, it's very good. >> Yeah, it's very good. >> Yeah, it's very good. >> Okay. Oh, Stephanie's coming on. Cool. >> Okay. Oh, Stephanie's coming on. Cool. >> Okay. Oh, Stephanie's coming on. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got to stop. Yeah. You got to stop. Yeah. You got to stop. >> I would say similar technology than the >> I would say similar technology than the >> I would say similar technology than the Tesla Y. Tesla Y. Tesla Y. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And cheaper, way cheaper. >> And cheaper, way cheaper. >> And cheaper, way cheaper. >> Way cheaper, way cheaper. >> Way cheaper, way cheaper. >> Way cheaper, way cheaper. And I think that And I think that And I think that >> We have as well tariffs. We we also have >> We have as well tariffs. We we also have >> We have as well tariffs. We we also have tariffs in Europe for a Chinese tariffs in Europe for a Chinese tariffs in Europe for a Chinese technology. technology. technology. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> But uh yeah. >> But uh yeah. >> But uh yeah. >> Yeah. I mean well I mean the Germans >> Yeah. I mean well I mean the Germans >> Yeah. I mean well I mean the Germans have to kind of protect themselves. You have to kind of protect themselves. You have to kind of protect themselves. You know what I'm saying? I mean I I think know what I'm saying? I mean I I think know what I'm saying? I mean I I think it's totally understandable. Otherwise, it's totally understandable. Otherwise, it's totally understandable. Otherwise, the Chinese will just from economics the Chinese will just from economics the Chinese will just from economics standpoint will just dump standpoint will just dump standpoint will just dump those those those >> And and that's actually that's actually >> And and that's actually that's actually >> And and that's actually that's actually the word, dump. The technical term of the word, dump. The technical term of the word, dump. The technical term of dumping. And so like, you know, one dumping. And so like, you know, one dumping. And so like, you know, one country is really good at producing country is really good at producing country is really good at producing steel and then another country just steel and then another country just steel and then another country just starts dumping steel on the market starts dumping steel on the market starts dumping steel on the market really cheap to try to put the other really cheap to try to put the other really cheap to try to put the other country out of business. And so that's country out of business. And so that's country out of business. And so that's how they think about the Chinese cars how they think about the Chinese cars how they think about the Chinese cars that they're dumping. The Australians that they're dumping. The Australians that they're dumping. The Australians think the Chinese dump on them. And so think the Chinese dump on them. And so think the Chinese dump on them. And so uh it's the same thing. Cuz you're uh it's the same thing. Cuz you're uh it's the same thing. Cuz you're right, the the BYD is so inexpensive.

  16. right, the the BYD is so inexpensive. right, the the BYD is so inexpensive. Um it would undercut the price of just Um it would undercut the price of just Um it would undercut the price of just about every car in the US, you know? Cuz about every car in the US, you know? Cuz about every car in the US, you know? Cuz you're right, the Tesla Y is the most you're right, the Tesla Y is the most you're right, the Tesla Y is the most popular car right now. popular car right now. popular car right now. Um but it if the BYD was all over the Um but it if the BYD was all over the Um but it if the BYD was all over the US, people would buy buy it. US, people would buy buy it. US, people would buy buy it. >> yeah, it'd be game over. But you know >> yeah, it'd be game over. But you know >> yeah, it'd be game over. But you know what? EVs are not all that they're what? EVs are not all that they're what? EVs are not all that they're cracked up to be. Like we have we're cracked up to be. Like we have we're cracked up to be. Like we have we're like full-on EV household. You really like full-on EV household. You really like full-on EV household. You really need to combine it with solar. And um need to combine it with solar. And um need to combine it with solar. And um because, you know, energy rates can be because, you know, energy rates can be because, you know, energy rates can be different uh in different states, different uh in different states, different uh in different states, different um you know, municipalities different um you know, municipalities different um you know, municipalities and such. and such. and such. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And the um the kind of rate plans are >> And the um the kind of rate plans are >> And the um the kind of rate plans are changing uh because now changing uh because now changing uh because now um um um you know, you would have to pretty much you know, you would have to pretty much you know, you would have to pretty much charge during the day charge during the day charge during the day um there there's like peak, let's say, um there there's like peak, let's say, um there there's like peak, let's say, solar production. solar production. solar production. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Cuz you know, everyone has solar in >> Cuz you know, everyone has solar in >> Cuz you know, everyone has solar in California and they want to contribute. California and they want to contribute. California and they want to contribute. And you know, get a dollar for dollar, And you know, get a dollar for dollar, And you know, get a dollar for dollar, right? Now right? Now right? Now it's like it's like it's like an oversupply of solar and contribution.

  17. an oversupply of solar and contribution. an oversupply of solar and contribution. And so, uh but at night, there's no And so, uh but at night, there's no And so, uh but at night, there's no there's no contribution. So, now they're there's no contribution. So, now they're there's no contribution. So, now they're trying to get everyone to buy batteries. trying to get everyone to buy batteries. trying to get everyone to buy batteries. And then whatever power you've stored in And then whatever power you've stored in And then whatever power you've stored in your batteries to sell it back to the your batteries to sell it back to the your batteries to sell it back to the grid during the off-peak hours, right? grid during the off-peak hours, right? grid during the off-peak hours, right? >> But they'll buy power walls. >> But they'll buy power walls. >> But they'll buy power walls. >> Yeah, most people don't have their cars >> Yeah, most people don't have their cars >> Yeah, most people don't have their cars at home during the day, right? So, at home during the day, right? So, at home during the day, right? So, >> They charge them at night like they like >> They charge them at night like they like >> They charge them at night like they like their phone. their phone. their phone. >> It it just becomes a really, really >> It it just becomes a really, really >> It it just becomes a really, really goofy thing and you really have to think goofy thing and you really have to think goofy thing and you really have to think through does an EV make sense for me? through does an EV make sense for me? through does an EV make sense for me? You know, it it a lot more complicated. You know, it it a lot more complicated. You know, it it a lot more complicated. >> But what's the alternative? >> But what's the alternative? >> But what's the alternative? >> Uh just buy an ICE. I mean, ICEs doing >> Uh just buy an ICE. I mean, ICEs doing >> Uh just buy an ICE. I mean, ICEs doing hybrid vehicles are doing great, you hybrid vehicles are doing great, you hybrid vehicles are doing great, you know? know? know? >> ICE ICE ba- >> ICE ICE ba- >> ICE ICE ba- >> Uh actually, Toyota made the better bet >> Uh actually, Toyota made the better bet >> Uh actually, Toyota made the better bet than everyone else. They didn't go than everyone else. They didn't go than everyone else. They didn't go full-on EV. They said, "You know what? full-on EV. They said, "You know what? full-on EV. They said, "You know what? Okay, everyone, you know, all the Okay, everyone, you know, all the Okay, everyone, you know, all the American cars can go and do all this EV American cars can go and do all this EV American cars can go and do all this EV transformation and pivot. We'll just transformation and pivot. We'll just transformation and pivot. We'll just We'll just capitalize on the vacuum that We'll just capitalize on the vacuum that We'll just capitalize on the vacuum that they create for themselves." And that's they create for themselves." And that's they create for themselves." And that's what So, yeah, they did. And what So, yeah, they did. And what So, yeah, they did. And >> Yeah, my wife, Kathy, she's got a hybrid >> Yeah, my wife, Kathy, she's got a hybrid >> Yeah, my wife, Kathy, she's got a hybrid SUV, and she's getting like 40 mi to the SUV, and she's getting like 40 mi to the SUV, and she's getting like 40 mi to the gallon.

  18. gallon. gallon. And so, yeah, it's been good. But, And so, yeah, it's been good. But, And so, yeah, it's been good. But, you're right. It all started with Toyota you're right. It all started with Toyota you're right. It all started with Toyota and the Prius, right? and the Prius, right? and the Prius, right? Um you know, and so uh gosh, I remember Um you know, and so uh gosh, I remember Um you know, and so uh gosh, I remember when that was the hottest thing for a when that was the hottest thing for a when that was the hottest thing for a while. So, you are the first person I've while. So, you are the first person I've while. So, you are the first person I've heard who's ever saying anything heard who's ever saying anything heard who's ever saying anything slightly not good about EVs. Usually, slightly not good about EVs. Usually, slightly not good about EVs. Usually, anyone I talk to has an EV, all they anyone I talk to has an EV, all they anyone I talk to has an EV, all they talk about is like they're a preacher or talk about is like they're a preacher or talk about is like they're a preacher or something, and they want to convert me something, and they want to convert me something, and they want to convert me or something to EVs. And so, the fact or something to EVs. And so, the fact or something to EVs. And so, the fact that you're saying it's not for that you're saying it's not for that you're saying it's not for everyone, Yeah. I've never heard anyone everyone, Yeah. I've never heard anyone everyone, Yeah. I've never heard anyone ever say that. I've heard everyone say, ever say that. I've heard everyone say, ever say that. I've heard everyone say, "You're a Neanderthal horrible human "You're a Neanderthal horrible human "You're a Neanderthal horrible human being for driving a combustion engine being for driving a combustion engine being for driving a combustion engine car.

[laughter] Don't worry about the fact that when Don't worry about the fact that when Don't worry about the fact that when they when your Tesla's broken, don't they when your Tesla's broken, don't they when your Tesla's broken, don't worry about the fact that the worry about the fact that the worry about the fact that the diesel-powered truck that comes to pick diesel-powered truck that comes to pick diesel-powered truck that comes to pick up your car makes [laughter] it go. up your car makes [laughter] it go. up your car makes [laughter] it go. >> Well, you know, you know, the thing is >> Well, you know, you know, the thing is >> Well, you know, you know, the thing is that you live and you learn and the that you live and you learn and the that you live and you learn and the things things change, you know. Nobody things things change, you know. Nobody things things change, you know. Nobody thought thought thought you know, with all these subsidies for you know, with all these subsidies for you know, with all these subsidies for solar and promotion of like green solar and promotion of like green solar and promotion of like green energy, would you find a overcapacity of energy, would you find a overcapacity of energy, would you find a overcapacity of a certain kind of harvesting technology a certain kind of harvesting technology a certain kind of harvesting technology or generation technology, which is or generation technology, which is or generation technology, which is solar, where during you know, you need solar, where during you know, you need solar, where during you know, you need sun, right? Sun is not there all the sun, right? Sun is not there all the sun, right? Sun is not there all the time. And then now, you know, it's it's time. And then now, you know, it's it's time. And then now, you know, it's it's just like just like just like these AI systems, you find out that oh, these AI systems, you find out that oh, these AI systems, you find out that oh, you actually what's now more important

  19. you actually what's now more important you actually what's now more important is this other thing like networking or is this other thing like networking or is this other thing like networking or memory, right? memory, right? memory, right? And um solar And um solar And um solar uh you know, power, you need batteries. uh you know, power, you need batteries. uh you know, power, you need batteries. And so now there everybody is trying to And so now there everybody is trying to And so now there everybody is trying to force with the the right plans and force with the the right plans and force with the the right plans and everything like that, force people to everything like that, force people to everything like that, force people to buy batteries. So for this new house buy batteries. So for this new house buy batteries. So for this new house that we live in, we have to buy these that we live in, we have to buy these that we live in, we have to buy these very expensive batteries. Otherwise, it very expensive batteries. Otherwise, it very expensive batteries. Otherwise, it completely makes no sense. In other completely makes no sense. In other completely makes no sense. In other words, the energy uh the power companies words, the energy uh the power companies words, the energy uh the power companies don't want you to don't want you to don't want you to really really really >> Uh you have to sell the energy you >> Uh you have to sell the energy you >> Uh you have to sell the energy you generate it. generate it. generate it. >> They don't want to deal with you, right? >> They don't want to deal with you, right? >> They don't want to deal with you, right? Because you will be on grid Because you will be on grid Because you will be on grid uh in a certain way. Is this because uh in a certain way. Is this because uh in a certain way. Is this because you're you're you're >> [clears throat] >> [clears throat] >> [clears throat] >> But but don't you think that this opens >> But but don't you think that this opens >> But but don't you think that this opens like a market of uh for uh new like a market of uh for uh new like a market of uh for uh new businesses that will recycle old businesses that will recycle old businesses that will recycle old batteries from EV cars batteries from EV cars batteries from EV cars into into this systems? For example, I into into this systems? For example, I into into this systems? For example, I think a lot of innovation and recycling think a lot of innovation and recycling think a lot of innovation and recycling and second life and second life and second life for batteries.

  20. for batteries. for batteries. >> So I definitely I'm wondering, did did >> So I definitely I'm wondering, did did >> So I definitely I'm wondering, did did Chevy ever make like a hybrid Tahoe or Chevy ever make like a hybrid Tahoe or Chevy ever make like a hybrid Tahoe or Suburban? Suburban? Suburban? >> You know, I'm a big Tahoe driver, but >> You know, I'm a big Tahoe driver, but >> You know, I'm a big Tahoe driver, but no. Um no. Um no. Um I mean, it's probably the first time I mean, it's probably the first time I mean, it's probably the first time this this year has been the first time this this year has been the first time this this year has been the first time I've actually considering a hybrid. I've actually considering a hybrid. I've actually considering a hybrid. Um Um Um and it may be too late for me because my and it may be too late for me because my and it may be too late for me because my son's about to start driving and really son's about to start driving and really son's about to start driving and really probably 90% of my mileage is driving to probably 90% of my mileage is driving to probably 90% of my mileage is driving to Fredericksburg and back, which is 4 Fredericksburg and back, which is 4 Fredericksburg and back, which is 4 hours during the school year, you know, hours during the school year, you know, hours during the school year, you know, a day. 1 hour there, 1 hour back, 1 hour a day. 1 hour there, 1 hour back, 1 hour a day. 1 hour there, 1 hour back, 1 hour there, 1 you know, so there, 1 you know, so there, 1 you know, so um he'll start driving in November, so I um he'll start driving in November, so I um he'll start driving in November, so I mean, I won't have the mileage that I've mean, I won't have the mileage that I've mean, I won't have the mileage that I've been putting on since forever, right? So been putting on since forever, right? So been putting on since forever, right? So but the fact that I'm actually you know, but the fact that I'm actually you know, but the fact that I'm actually you know, 5 years ago I was like 5 years ago I was like 5 years ago I was like laughing at electric out here in the laughing at electric out here in the laughing at electric out here in the hill country because of the lack of hill country because of the lack of hill country because of the lack of infrastructure and there are a lot of infrastructure and there are a lot of infrastructure and there are a lot of there are a lot of availability now to there are a lot of availability now to there are a lot of availability now to go charge your vehicle in in even in the go charge your vehicle in in even in the go charge your vehicle in in even in the rural areas out here.

  21. rural areas out here. rural areas out here. >> Really? >> Really? >> Really? >> Believe it or not. But my husband would >> Believe it or not. But my husband would >> Believe it or not. But my husband would be the kind just like you guys were be the kind just like you guys were be the kind just like you guys were saying, he would have the full battery saying, he would have the full battery saying, he would have the full battery and plug and everything at our home. He and plug and everything at our home. He and plug and everything at our home. He would never rely on would never rely on would never rely on >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, it starts >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, it starts >> Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Level two charging or whatever. >> Yeah. Level two charging or whatever. >> Yeah. Level two charging or whatever. Yeah, I got you. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I got you. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I got you. Yeah, that makes sense. >> Yeah, but don't get me wrong. If you >> Yeah, but don't get me wrong. If you >> Yeah, but don't get me wrong. If you have the right setup in the right have the right setup in the right have the right setup in the right situation, it's freaking awesome. I situation, it's freaking awesome. I situation, it's freaking awesome. I mean, our energy bill is like, mean, our energy bill is like, mean, our energy bill is like, you know, pretty much negative, right? you know, pretty much negative, right? you know, pretty much negative, right? Um Um Um So, we get all the transportation that So, we get all the transportation that So, we get all the transportation that we need, right? Um we don't have we we need, right?

"We don't care." "We don't care." But um it it it you are literally But um it it it you are literally But um it it it you are literally managing your own energy and you have to managing your own energy and you have to managing your own energy and you have to be active about it. be active about it. be active about it. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> And AI doesn't help. >> And AI doesn't help. >> And AI doesn't help. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Well, and I think for us like I I think >> Well, and I think for us like I I think >> Well, and I think for us like I I think for a lot of the Texas ranchers and for a lot of the Texas ranchers and for a lot of the Texas ranchers and farmers, farmers, farmers, you know, they still heavily rely on you know, they still heavily rely on you know, they still heavily rely on their equipment to be, you know, diesel their equipment to be, you know, diesel their equipment to be, you know, diesel and you know, gas. and you know, gas. and you know, gas. >> Yeah, farm ranching equipment's all >> Yeah, farm ranching equipment's all >> Yeah, farm ranching equipment's all diesel. diesel. diesel. >> Yeah, but if you go to like if you went >> Yeah, but if you go to like if you went >> Yeah, but if you go to like if you went to the Consumer Electronics Show, you to the Consumer Electronics Show, you to the Consumer Electronics Show, you saw that not only are they like starting saw that not only are they like starting saw that not only are they like starting to dabble in all kinds of autonomous, to dabble in all kinds of autonomous, to dabble in all kinds of autonomous, you know, farming and ag equipment, but you know, farming and ag equipment, but you know, farming and ag equipment, but also electric. So, I mean, the So, the also electric. So, I mean, the So, the also electric. So, I mean, the So, the question is for the industry, well, question is for the industry, well, question is for the industry, well, well, when will we get there? But, think well, when will we get there? But, think well, when will we get there? But, think about Think about all the construction about Think about all the construction about Think about all the construction industry, the farming industry, the ag industry, the farming industry, the ag industry, the farming industry, the ag industry, they are going to be laggards industry, they are going to be laggards industry, they are going to be laggards in terms of adoption. Um, they're I in terms of adoption. Um, they're I in terms of adoption. Um, they're I think at at this point in time, from think at at this point in time, from think at at this point in time, from what I understand and then those that what I understand and then those that what I understand and then those that I've talked to, I've talked to, I've talked to, they're very much an adopter of using they're very much an adopter of using they're very much an adopter of using sensors to track their equipment, to sensors to track their equipment, to sensors to track their equipment, to locate their equipment, you know, to locate their equipment, you know, to locate their equipment, you know, to manage their fleets and all of that, but manage their fleets and all of that, but manage their fleets and all of that, but I don't know. I think that they're I don't know. I think that they're I don't know. I think that they're they're so reliant on fuel they're so reliant on fuel they're so reliant on fuel that they may be and it's very expensive that they may be and it's very expensive that they may be and it's very expensive to replace a fleet.

  23. to replace a fleet. to replace a fleet. >> Yeah. But, I think they have bigger >> Yeah. But, I think they have bigger >> Yeah. But, I think they have bigger worries now and cost of fertilizer is worries now and cost of fertilizer is worries now and cost of fertilizer is probably freaking them out or access to probably freaking them out or access to probably freaking them out or access to fertilizer freaking them out more than fertilizer freaking them out more than fertilizer freaking them out more than anything. anything. anything. >> And that's tough. >> And that's tough. >> And that's tough. >> That That and >> That That and >> That That and That and in Texas, That and in Texas, That and in Texas, you know, it's always I think behind the you know, it's always I think behind the you know, it's always I think behind the scenes a a worry for farmers and ag scenes a a worry for farmers and ag scenes a a worry for farmers and ag is the lack of water or the future lack is the lack of water or the future lack is the lack of water or the future lack of water. of water. of water. That's an issue. That's an issue. That's an issue. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's right. You know, I was in That's right. You know, I was in That's right. You know, I was in Maryland Maryland Maryland and um and um and um So, I was at an event So, I was at an event So, I was at an event um hosted by CNM to talk and I was um hosted by CNM to talk and I was um hosted by CNM to talk and I was invited to talk about AI AI and AI. invited to talk about AI AI and AI. invited to talk about AI AI and AI. And I would I heard that the East Coast And I would I heard that the East Coast And I would I heard that the East Coast is suffering a drought right now. There is suffering a drought right now. There is suffering a drought right now. There isn't isn't isn't >> Really? >> Really? >> Really? >> Yeah, and I'm like, you got to be effing >> Yeah, and I'm like, you got to be effing >> Yeah, and I'm like, you got to be effing kidding me. So, we're driving [laughter] kidding me. So, we're driving [laughter] kidding me. So, we're driving [laughter] through the, you know, the uh the through the, you know, the uh the through the, you know, the uh the you know, the the rural outskirts of you know, the the rural outskirts of you know, the the rural outskirts of um of Baltimore and um of Baltimore and um of Baltimore and it it's just lush and green everywhere.

  24. it it's just lush and green everywhere. it it's just lush and green everywhere. It's just absolutely beautiful, right? It's just absolutely beautiful, right? It's just absolutely beautiful, right? And I'm thinking, And I'm thinking, And I'm thinking, how the hell are you having a drought, how the hell are you having a drought, how the hell are you having a drought, right? But, then apparently in Raleigh right? But, then apparently in Raleigh right? But, then apparently in Raleigh in North Carolina, there's there's a lot in North Carolina, there's there's a lot in North Carolina, there's there's a lot of areas that are now tinderboxes and I of areas that are now tinderboxes and I of areas that are now tinderboxes and I I'm I'm I'm I I I you know, you know, you know, um I asked him, "Are you serious? I um I asked him, "Are you serious? I um I asked him, "Are you serious? I mean, we're talking about like dry mean, we're talking about like dry mean, we're talking about like dry you know, brush and stuff like that?" you know, brush and stuff like that?" you know, brush and stuff like that?" And he goes, "Yeah." And he goes, "Yeah." And he goes, "Yeah." And And And um and it's weird because right now um and it's weird because right now um and it's weird because right now everyone thinks that California is the everyone thinks that California is the everyone thinks that California is the place where all the fires happen, right? place where all the fires happen, right? place where all the fires happen, right? Now it's Colorado. Now it's like pretty Now it's Colorado. Now it's like pretty Now it's Colorado. Now it's like pretty much much much the entire the entire the entire East Coast or the East East Coast or the East East Coast or the East >> Well, I know that also >> Well, I know that also >> Well, I know that also also northern Arizona. Northern Arizona also northern Arizona. Northern Arizona also northern Arizona. Northern Arizona and what's it? Southern Colorado. They and what's it? Southern Colorado. They and what's it? Southern Colorado. They really have like they have wildfires. really have like they have wildfires. really have like they have wildfires. They You don't hear about it, but my They You don't hear about it, but my They You don't hear about it, but my husband was up there flying husband was up there flying husband was up there flying um on a ranch northern Arizona that he um on a ranch northern Arizona that he um on a ranch northern Arizona that he does every year and he's like you can does every year and he's like you can does every year and he's like you can see the fires like when you get up in see the fires like when you get up in see the fires like when you get up in the helicopter, you can see them the helicopter, you can see them the helicopter, you can see them everywhere. So everywhere. So everywhere. So and I don't think people you know, and I don't think people you know, and I don't think people you know, people tend to like concentrate the fact people tend to like concentrate the fact people tend to like concentrate the fact that there are droughts to California that there are droughts to California that there are droughts to California and they don't really think about and they don't really think about and they don't really think about >> That's a good point. You know, it's it's >> That's a good point. You know, it's it's >> That's a good point. You know, it's it's a problem everywhere. All right. So a problem everywhere. All right. So a problem everywhere. All right. So Leonard, you need Can you let me share Leonard, you need Can you let me share Leonard, you need Can you let me share my screen? I want to show you a picture my screen? I want to show you a picture my screen? I want to show you a picture of something I created back in 2014.

  25. of something I created back in 2014. of something I created back in 2014. >> Yes, I love your water plan for the for >> Yes, I love your water plan for the for >> Yes, I love your water plan for the for the US. the US. the US. Please. Please. Please. >> Sure. There was this horrible drought >> Sure. There was this horrible drought >> Sure. There was this horrible drought back then in the Midwest. back then in the Midwest. back then in the Midwest. Um Um Um But yeah, it's this thing here. Um But yeah, it's this thing here. Um But yeah, it's this thing here. Um And what we're seeing is And what we're seeing is And what we're seeing is >> going to have a super El Nino, so it's >> going to have a super El Nino, so it's >> going to have a super El Nino, so it's going to be absolute nightmare. going to be absolute nightmare. going to be absolute nightmare. >> And so yeah, this picture here was I was >> And so yeah, this picture here was I was >> And so yeah, this picture here was I was thinking, you know, we have all these thinking, you know, we have all these thinking, you know, we have all these natural gas pipelines and oil pipelines natural gas pipelines and oil pipelines natural gas pipelines and oil pipelines all over the country and you know, the all over the country and you know, the all over the country and you know, the Middle East and lots other places, Middle East and lots other places, Middle East and lots other places, Australia, they have to do a lot of Australia, they have to do a lot of Australia, they have to do a lot of desalination desalination desalination and and we had a horrible drought back and and we had a horrible drought back and and we had a horrible drought back then in 2012, 2013 and the Midwest was then in 2012, 2013 and the Midwest was then in 2012, 2013 and the Midwest was all burning up and all the crops were all burning up and all the crops were all burning up and all the crops were dying. And so I would just imagined if dying. And so I would just imagined if dying. And so I would just imagined if we lined all the coastline of the we lined all the coastline of the we lined all the coastline of the country um with desalination plants country um with desalination plants country um with desalination plants powered by powered by powered by wind, solar, and nuclear and then we use wind, solar, and nuclear and then we use wind, solar, and nuclear and then we use the pipelines and maybe we have to build the pipelines and maybe we have to build the pipelines and maybe we have to build some pipelines to move that water some pipelines to move that water some pipelines to move that water inland. inland. inland. Um Um Um anyway, I remember writing up all this anyway, I remember writing up all this anyway, I remember writing up all this whole strategy of how to do this thing.

  26. whole strategy of how to do this thing. whole strategy of how to do this thing. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> And learning of you know, pump stations >> And learning of you know, pump stations >> And learning of you know, pump stations and how people are like, "How are you and how people are like, "How are you and how people are like, "How are you going to get the water over the Rocky going to get the water over the Rocky going to get the water over the Rocky Mountains?" And stuff like that. Mountains?" And stuff like that. Mountains?" And stuff like that. Um and so yeah, it's not it's not easy, Um and so yeah, it's not it's not easy, Um and so yeah, it's not it's not easy, but it's pumps. Yeah, it's not easy. but it's pumps. Yeah, it's not easy. but it's pumps. Yeah, it's not easy. It's based on It's based on It's based on >> I remember Rob talking about this >> I remember Rob talking about this >> I remember Rob talking about this conversation cuz we've talked about conversation cuz we've talked about conversation cuz we've talked about droughts because you know, I think droughts because you know, I think droughts because you know, I think there's been quite a few times where there's been quite a few times where there's been quite a few times where where we've been on IoT Coffee Talk and where we've been on IoT Coffee Talk and where we've been on IoT Coffee Talk and the Texas in the middle of a massive the Texas in the middle of a massive the Texas in the middle of a massive drought, but one of the things that we drought, but one of the things that we drought, but one of the things that we talked about before was somewhere near talked about before was somewhere near talked about before was somewhere near Big Bend they discovered this, you know, Big Bend they discovered this, you know, Big Bend they discovered this, you know, water source and even sand source which water source and even sand source which water source and even sand source which they created pipelines that move to the they created pipelines that move to the they created pipelines that move to the Permian Basin up north where all that Permian Basin up north where all that Permian Basin up north where all that oil is being produced because they need oil is being produced because they need oil is being produced because they need water and they need like a specific very water and they need like a specific very water and they need like a specific very fine filtered sand. fine filtered sand. fine filtered sand. Um so the there's infrastructure there I Um so the there's infrastructure there I Um so the there's infrastructure there I think for and I know in Texas for think for and I know in Texas for think for and I know in Texas for different water movement because of the different water movement because of the different water movement because of the oil industry. I just don't know about oil industry. I just don't know about oil industry. I just don't know about all the other states and where they are all the other states and where they are all the other states and where they are with with with pipelines.

  27. pipelines. pipelines. >> Yeah. No, you're right. I mean, >> Yeah. No, you're right. I mean, >> Yeah. No, you're right. I mean, something like this would cost trillions something like this would cost trillions something like this would cost trillions of dollars. of dollars. of dollars. >> Well, you're Yeah, and Europe has like >> Well, you're Yeah, and Europe has like >> Well, you're Yeah, and Europe has like the same issues too, right? Don't you the same issues too, right? Don't you the same issues too, right? Don't you guys? guys? guys? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Mark? >> Mark? >> Mark? >> I don't know. >> I don't know. >> I don't know. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. >> Last year there were like massive fires, >> Last year there were like massive fires, >> Last year there were like massive fires, weren't there? weren't there? weren't there? >> Yeah, I know. I already Yeah. >> Yeah, I know. I already Yeah. >> Yeah, I know. I already Yeah. >> Like in Italy? >> Like in Italy? >> Like in Italy? Like freaking Like freaking Like freaking >> Yeah, in Italy, in Greece, in Spain. >> Yeah, in Italy, in Greece, in Spain. >> Yeah, in Italy, in Greece, in Spain. There are massive fires, yeah. There are massive fires, yeah. There are massive fires, yeah. >> [snorts and clears throat] >> [snorts and clears throat] >> [snorts and clears throat] >> Absolutely. >> Absolutely. >> Absolutely. And we Yeah, we to we are now in And we Yeah, we to we are now in And we Yeah, we to we are now in Barcelona, yeah, drinking water from Barcelona, yeah, drinking water from Barcelona, yeah, drinking water from from the sea, absolutely 100%. So, the from the sea, absolutely 100%. So, the from the sea, absolutely 100%. So, the >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> [snorts] >> [snorts] >> [snorts] >> the country has started to plan, you >> the country has started to plan, you >> the country has started to plan, you know, how to get know, how to get know, how to get water not from the mountains or the water not from the mountains or the water not from the mountains or the rain, but from the sea. rain, but from the sea. rain, but from the sea. >> Yeah, the river. >> Yeah, the river. >> Yeah, the river. >> And I think in in other places >> And I think in in other places >> And I think in in other places >> Well, I heard that also, >> Well, I heard that also, >> Well, I heard that also, speaking of that, you know, you you speaking of that, you know, you you speaking of that, you know, you you reminded me about the the runoff from reminded me about the the runoff from reminded me about the the runoff from the mountains and the you know, when the the mountains and the you know, when the the mountains and the you know, when the snow caps start to melt, but I also snow caps start to melt, but I also snow caps start to melt, but I also heard that one of the reasons why like heard that one of the reasons why like heard that one of the reasons why like northern Arizona, because they get they northern Arizona, because they get they northern Arizona, because they get they got a lot of their water from the got a lot of their water from the got a lot of their water from the snowmelt.

  28. snowmelt. snowmelt. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And there wasn't as much snow >> And there wasn't as much snow >> And there wasn't as much snow in the winter this past winter, so they in the winter this past winter, so they in the winter this past winter, so they just all their water sources were dry just all their water sources were dry just all their water sources were dry and then of course they didn't get rain, and then of course they didn't get rain, and then of course they didn't get rain, so it that's so it that's so it that's >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> That reminded me of that. >> That reminded me of that. >> That reminded me of that. >> Right. But then, you know, we have to >> Right. But then, you know, we have to >> Right. But then, you know, we have to remember what one of the one of the most remember what one of the one of the most remember what one of the one of the most popular uses of water in Arizona, New popular uses of water in Arizona, New popular uses of water in Arizona, New Mexico and these other areas are. Mexico and these other areas are. Mexico and these other areas are. Right? Which is water the air. Right? Which is water the air. Right? Which is water the air. >> Golf. >> Golf. >> Golf. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> How do we sprinkle Yeah, well, that too. >> How do we sprinkle Yeah, well, that too. >> How do we sprinkle Yeah, well, that too. >> Yeah, I mean like why don't we build >> Yeah, I mean like why don't we build >> Yeah, I mean like why don't we build like [laughter] stuff that consumes the like [laughter] stuff that consumes the like [laughter] stuff that consumes the most water in the most most water in the most most water in the most >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> But [laughter] but you know what >> But [laughter] but you know what >> But [laughter] but you know what happened in happened in happened in here in in Catalonia, what happened here in in Catalonia, what happened here in in Catalonia, what happened during the COVID-19 during the COVID-19 during the COVID-19 situation was that our swamps were situation was that our swamps were situation was that our swamps were almost at 100%. almost at 100%. almost at 100%. Of what? Full of water? Of what? Full of water? Of what? Full of water? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> So, no, it was >> So, no, it was >> So, no, it was I don't know if it was 2020 or 2022, I don't know if it was 2020 or 2022, I don't know if it was 2020 or 2022, something like that. something like that. something like that. So, the So, the So, the what they decided is okay, we are going what they decided is okay, we are going what they decided is okay, we are going to empty our swamps because electricity to empty our swamps because electricity to empty our swamps because electricity is too expensive. Maybe that was for the is too expensive. Maybe that was for the is too expensive. Maybe that was for the Ukrainian war, maybe for Ukrainian war, maybe for Ukrainian war, maybe for So, So, So, and then they decided to do that and then they decided to do that and then they decided to do that and and they empty all the swamps and and they empty all the swamps and and they empty all the swamps and then it it was as well a drought and then it it was as well a drought and then it it was as well a drought season and during the next two years it season and during the next two years it season and during the next two years it didn't rain, so it was like, "Okay, so didn't rain, so it was like, "Okay, so didn't rain, so it was like, "Okay, so we don't have water at all."

  29. we don't have water at all." we don't have water at all." Um so Um so Um so >> Wow. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> Who took that decision? >> Who took that decision? >> Who took that decision? >> god. >> god. >> god. >> And the >> And the >> And the >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And the funny story is that the energy >> And the funny story is that the energy >> And the funny story is that the energy generated by the swamps, it's almost generated by the swamps, it's almost generated by the swamps, it's almost free. free. free. But the electrical companies didn't want But the electrical companies didn't want But the electrical companies didn't want to give the electricity for free. So to give the electricity for free. So to give the electricity for free. So there is a law that if you if there is a law that if you if there is a law that if you if that uh that they are going to charge that uh that they are going to charge that uh that they are going to charge the electricity the electricity the electricity um um um at least in Spain, if you if if the um at least in Spain, if you if if the um at least in Spain, if you if if the um if the company just generates at least if the company just generates at least if the company just generates at least during 1 hour so they will charge you during 1 hour so they will charge you during 1 hour so they will charge you the maximum the maximum the maximum uh cost of energy uh during 1 day at uh cost of energy uh during 1 day at uh cost of energy uh during 1 day at least during 1 hour. So during 1 hour least during 1 hour. So during 1 hour least during 1 hour. So during 1 hour they were burning coal and the other 23 they were burning coal and the other 23 they were burning coal and the other 23 hours they were using the water from the hours they were using the water from the hours they were using the water from the swamps to generate electricity. So they swamps to generate electricity. So they swamps to generate electricity. So they were charging the citizens by the by the were charging the citizens by the by the were charging the citizens by the by the price of the coal energy. price of the coal energy. price of the coal energy. >> But the coal, yeah. >> But the coal, yeah. >> But the coal, yeah. Interesting. Interesting. Interesting. >> super expensive energy and in the >> super expensive energy and in the >> super expensive energy and in the meantime they were emptying the swamps meantime they were emptying the swamps meantime they were emptying the swamps and uh and letting us know that we will and uh and letting us know that we will and uh and letting us know that we will we would have no water.

What is like what are you talking about? What is like what are you talking about? What is this for? What are you doing with this this for? What are you doing with this this for? What are you doing with this and it's it's this massive write-up of and it's it's this massive write-up of and it's it's this massive write-up of how to do something or the way they're how to do something or the way they're how to do something or the way they're going to do something, right? going to do something, right? going to do something, right? Um but the other thing that came out Um but the other thing that came out Um but the other thing that came out recently was Cristiano Amon said that recently was Cristiano Amon said that recently was Cristiano Amon said that we are not going to see these app stores we are not going to see these app stores we are not going to see these app stores anymore that AI agents are going to take anymore that AI agents are going to take anymore that AI agents are going to take over over over the app stores or the apps the software the app stores or the apps the software the app stores or the apps the software apps. So I thought that was kind of like apps. So I thought that was kind of like apps. So I thought that was kind of like what do you guys think about that?

  46. what do you guys think about that? what do you guys think about that? >> Woo. We've been hearing something about >> Woo. We've been hearing something about >> Woo. We've been hearing something about that that the future was all these that that the future was all these that that the future was all these agents and you won't need software and agents and you won't need software and agents and you won't need software and and all this enterprise software is all and all this enterprise software is all and all this enterprise software is all threatened now because threatened now because threatened now because oh anybody can just spin up Claude code oh anybody can just spin up Claude code oh anybody can just spin up Claude code and build an ERP system to replace SAP. and build an ERP system to replace SAP. and build an ERP system to replace SAP. So they may not be right. So they may not be right. So they may not be right. >> it's scary to me. It's like no >> it's scary to me. It's like no >> it's scary to me. It's like no guardrails. Let's just go. guardrails. Let's just go. guardrails. Let's just go. Um like you know I I had that Um like you know I I had that Um like you know I I had that conversation with the cable executives conversation with the cable executives conversation with the cable executives this week and that was one of the you this week and that was one of the you this week and that was one of the you know one of the conversations is is know one of the conversations is is know one of the conversations is is like how AI is just embedded into like how AI is just embedded into like how AI is just embedded into everything that we're using or you know everything that we're using or you know everything that we're using or you know using in the workforce and that we're using in the workforce and that we're using in the workforce and that we're not even going to be calling it AI it's not even going to be calling it AI it's not even going to be calling it AI it's just it's just inherent it's just there just it's just inherent it's just there just it's just inherent it's just there and it's doing all of these things and it's doing all of these things and it's doing all of these things and even the the work the average worker and even the the work the average worker and even the the work the average worker may not even be aware of what's working may not even be aware of what's working may not even be aware of what's working in the background or what this means or in the background or what this means or in the background or what this means or if the data the data that it's ingested if the data the data that it's ingested if the data the data that it's ingested is is is accurate, high quality, it is it their accurate, high quality, it is it their accurate, high quality, it is it their own data, you know, so own data, you know, so own data, you know, so I think that the the enterprise side, I think that the the enterprise side, I think that the the enterprise side, you know, businesses, the business you know, businesses, the business you know, businesses, the business leaders are really trying to get their leaders are really trying to get their leaders are really trying to get their arms around arms around arms around what does this mean for my business, my what does this mean for my business, my what does this mean for my business, my operations, how are my customers using operations, how are my customers using operations, how are my customers using it? And then oh my gosh, my workforce it? And then oh my gosh, my workforce it? And then oh my gosh, my workforce has been using it way like for for has been using it way like for for has been using it way like for for they've been using it with or without my they've been using it with or without my they've been using it with or without my approval already.

  47. approval already. approval already. So So So >> Well, so here this is what I'll tell you >> Well, so here this is what I'll tell you >> Well, so here this is what I'll tell you right now. Um right now. Um right now. Um when you look at agents, everyone thinks when you look at agents, everyone thinks when you look at agents, everyone thinks that the agent is that the agent is that the agent is an AI. The reality is is you have an AI. The reality is is you have an AI. The reality is is you have this whole harness wrapper, all of it is this whole harness wrapper, all of it is this whole harness wrapper, all of it is code. And so if you look at what Apple's code. And so if you look at what Apple's code. And so if you look at what Apple's doing, if you paid attention at WWDC doing, if you paid attention at WWDC doing, if you paid attention at WWDC WWDC WWDC WWDC 2026 and didn't just watch the keynote 2026 and didn't just watch the keynote 2026 and didn't just watch the keynote and think that [ __ ] is boring. and think that [ __ ] is boring. and think that [ __ ] is boring. Which it was. It was I mean it was funny Which it was. It was I mean it was funny Which it was. It was I mean it was funny but if you watch that, you completely but if you watch that, you completely but if you watch that, you completely missed out on what they were missed out on what they were missed out on what they were presenting. They they had some really presenting. They they had some really presenting. They they had some really cool stuff in the developer sessions. I cool stuff in the developer sessions. I cool stuff in the developer sessions. I don't know if they do this [ __ ] on don't know if they do this [ __ ] on don't know if they do this [ __ ] on purpose, purpose, purpose, but the cool stuff is never in the but the cool stuff is never in the but the cool stuff is never in the keynote. And one of the things that you keynote. And one of the things that you keynote. And one of the things that you notice about what they're doing is notice about what they're doing is notice about what they're doing is they're making the OS, iOS, macOS, they're making the OS, iOS, macOS, they're making the OS, iOS, macOS, they're making that the Uber they're making that the Uber they're making that the Uber harness. harness. harness. And that's what a lot of the OEMs are And that's what a lot of the OEMs are And that's what a lot of the OEMs are trying to do. So whether it's Lenovo or trying to do. So whether it's Lenovo or trying to do. So whether it's Lenovo or Samsung, they're kind of in a position Samsung, they're kind of in a position Samsung, they're kind of in a position of doing that and same with Google.

  48. of doing that and same with Google. of doing that and same with Google. A lot more than I would say Microsoft A lot more than I would say Microsoft A lot more than I would say Microsoft because the PC space is like really because the PC space is like really because the PC space is like really goofy and weird, so fragmented, it's goofy and weird, so fragmented, it's goofy and weird, so fragmented, it's really difficult to do that. But you're really difficult to do that. But you're really difficult to do that. But you're going to have code, you're going to have going to have code, you're going to have going to have code, you're going to have apps, and the more you look at what apps, and the more you look at what apps, and the more you look at what you're dealing with with agents, It it you're dealing with with agents, It it you're dealing with with agents, It it ends up being code, more code, and you ends up being code, more code, and you ends up being code, more code, and you want deterministic outcomes.

  49. all of that. all of that. And I think Mark would agree with your And I think Mark would agree with your And I think Mark would agree with your statement about like the fun part and statement about like the fun part and statement about like the fun part and the most interesting stuff is the the most interesting stuff is the the most interesting stuff is the the actual developers, the people that the actual developers, the people that the actual developers, the people that are making things. But, uh you know, I are making things. But, uh you know, I are making things. But, uh you know, I got my hands on that and was looking at got my hands on that and was looking at got my hands on that and was looking at all the possibilities and of course my all the possibilities and of course my all the possibilities and of course my mind goes mind goes mind goes gets up at that real real real high gets up at that real real real high gets up at that real real real high level and I start to look at at what's level and I start to look at at what's level and I start to look at at what's possible. possible. possible. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Um but also I have that distrust out >> Um but also I have that distrust out >> Um but also I have that distrust out there, you know, I'm like, "Where are there, you know, I'm like, "Where are there, you know, I'm like, "Where are you pulling this you pulling this you pulling this data?

And that's one of the reasons why like enterprise AI is so the reasons why like enterprise AI is so the reasons why like enterprise AI is so so slow being so slowly adopted is so slow being so slowly adopted is so slow being so slowly adopted is because seriously, like when I was at because seriously, like when I was at because seriously, like when I was at Cisco Live you talk to this you know, Cisco Live you talk to this you know, Cisco Live you talk to this you know, people are just don't know.
