We're here just to have fun and uh don't We're here just to have fun and uh don't We're here just to have fun and uh don't you know don't make any kind of serious you know don't make any kind of serious you know don't make any kind of serious decisions based on anything that we say decisions based on anything that we say decisions based on anything that we say and uh we hope you enjoy the banter. Uh and uh we hope you enjoy the banter. Uh and uh we hope you enjoy the banter. Uh it goes on for a long time. But guess it goes on for a long time. But guess it goes on for a long time. But guess what? You know what? If you listen to what? You know what? If you listen to what? You know what? If you listen to IoT Coffee Talk on a weekly basis, it's IoT Coffee Talk on a weekly basis, it's IoT Coffee Talk on a weekly basis, it's a wonderful dose of reality, especially a wonderful dose of reality, especially a wonderful dose of reality, especially to cap off the week, that is typically to cap off the week, that is typically to cap off the week, that is typically filled with a lot of nonsensical, filled with a lot of nonsensical, filled with a lot of nonsensical, ridiculous hype. And so, you can come ridiculous hype. And so, you can come ridiculous hype. And so, you can come here and we will distill everything down here and we will distill everything down here and we will distill everything down to something a hell of a lot more to something a hell of a lot more to something a hell of a lot more reasonable reasonable reasonable than anything that you're hearing or than anything that you're hearing or than anything that you're hearing or listening to out there. So, um, anyways, listening to out there. So, um, anyways, listening to out there. So, um, anyways, uh, we're glad that you're here.

  5. uh, we're glad that you're here. uh, we're glad that you're here. >> We're here to, uh, encourage your >> We're here to, uh, encourage your >> We're here to, uh, encourage your critical thinking. critical thinking. critical thinking. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> We can >> We can >> We can >> in an age where critical thinking is >> in an age where critical thinking is >> in an age where critical thinking is diminishing and there's more and more diminishing and there's more and more diminishing and there's more and more studies coming out about that, right? studies coming out about that, right? studies coming out about that, right? That uh, That uh, That uh, uh, you know, students uh, you know, uh, you know, students uh, you know, uh, you know, students uh, you know, students are basically succumbing to the students are basically succumbing to the students are basically succumbing to the the convenience. And it's not that the convenience. And it's not that the convenience. And it's not that they're cheating. Um, cheating is they're cheating. Um, cheating is they're cheating. Um, cheating is different from different from different from deprivation, deprivation, deprivation, right? It's one thing to cheat. It and right? It's one thing to cheat. It and right? It's one thing to cheat. It and and cheating has its its own um, you and cheating has its its own um, you and cheating has its its own um, you know, unique issues, right? I mean, know, unique issues, right? I mean, know, unique issues, right? I mean, that's like basically gaming your own uh that's like basically gaming your own uh that's like basically gaming your own uh gaming education, right? Uh, in a bad gaming education, right? Uh, in a bad gaming education, right? Uh, in a bad way. Uh but the use of LLMs, way. Uh but the use of LLMs, way. Uh but the use of LLMs, look at more and more of these papers. look at more and more of these papers. look at more and more of these papers. It's it's about cognitive deprivation. It's it's about cognitive deprivation. It's it's about cognitive deprivation. Yeah. It's like you're depriving Yeah. It's like you're depriving Yeah. It's like you're depriving yourself of the exercise of developing yourself of the exercise of developing yourself of the exercise of developing your critical thinking. And so your critical thinking. And so your critical thinking. And so >> yeah, but >> yeah, but >> yeah, but and I've seen a number of these research and I've seen a number of these research and I've seen a number of these research and I think we should always take those and I think we should always take those and I think we should always take those kind of studies with a with grain of kind of studies with a with grain of kind of studies with a with grain of salt as well because the thing is the salt as well because the thing is the salt as well because the thing is the following. People always go the path the following. People always go the path the following. People always go the path the the path of least resistance. So if you the path of least resistance. So if you the path of least resistance. So if you freeze an existing system and say oh now freeze an existing system and say oh now freeze an existing system and say oh now there's these and people go around the there's these and people go around the there's these and people go around the existing system with yeah change the existing system with yeah change the existing system with yeah change the system system system change the system so that you drive the

  6. change the system so that you drive the change the system so that you drive the good behavior. So and that's one thing good behavior. So and that's one thing good behavior. So and that's one thing that you know you you know me for my that you know you you know me for my that you know you you know me for my passion and my kind of opinions here but passion and my kind of opinions here but passion and my kind of opinions here but I I I get very very quickly upset I I I get very very quickly upset I I I get very very quickly upset especially when it comes to education especially when it comes to education especially when it comes to education because it is 100% the responsibility to because it is 100% the responsibility to because it is 100% the responsibility to adapt and adjust education to the tools adapt and adjust education to the tools adapt and adjust education to the tools and to the systems and to the innovation and to the systems and to the innovation and to the systems and to the innovation that exists. that exists. that exists. But I think it it's even with enterprise But I think it it's even with enterprise But I think it it's even with enterprise adoption of generative AI which has been adoption of generative AI which has been adoption of generative AI which has been I mean now it's being very openly I mean now it's being very openly I mean now it's being very openly uh you know talked about as being uh you know talked about as being uh you know talked about as being disappointingly [clears throat] disappointingly [clears throat] disappointingly [clears throat] lackluster in terms of adoption and lackluster in terms of adoption and lackluster in terms of adoption and value. That's exactly the problem. It's, value. That's exactly the problem. It's, value. That's exactly the problem. It's, you know, and so as we look at what's you know, and so as we look at what's you know, and so as we look at what's happening right now where people are happening right now where people are happening right now where people are starting to open their eyes about starting to open their eyes about starting to open their eyes about generative AI in a broad sense, generative AI in a broad sense, generative AI in a broad sense, including with the AI infrastructure including with the AI infrastructure including with the AI infrastructure stuff and all these so-called deals, stuff and all these so-called deals, stuff and all these so-called deals, they're more like announcements. They're they're more like announcements. They're they're more like announcements. They're not deals, right? Um the, not deals, right? Um the, not deals, right? Um the, you know, you know, you know, everyone started off with the wrong everyone started off with the wrong everyone started off with the wrong assumption set for generative AI. It assumption set for generative AI. It assumption set for generative AI. It [clears throat] was completely wrong.

  7. [clears throat] was completely wrong. [clears throat] was completely wrong. And so this is why we end up in these And so this is why we end up in these And so this is why we end up in these places where expectations early on um places where expectations early on um places where expectations early on um eventually just become massive eventually just become massive eventually just become massive disappointments and then eventually disappointments and then eventually disappointments and then eventually people will disregard technology and a people will disregard technology and a people will disregard technology and a great example I just got back from great example I just got back from great example I just got back from fortunately got back from Dallas. Jesus fortunately got back from Dallas. Jesus fortunately got back from Dallas. Jesus Christ. Uh we had a chat about how oh Christ. Uh we had a chat about how oh Christ. Uh we had a chat about how oh this sounds a lot like 5G because we this sounds a lot like 5G because we this sounds a lot like 5G because we still have a lot of these taco tech still have a lot of these taco tech still have a lot of these taco tech companies that you know try to smoke the companies that you know try to smoke the companies that you know try to smoke the next crackpipe. You know what I'm next crackpipe. You know what I'm next crackpipe. You know what I'm saying? And it's like you know okay AI saying? And it's like you know okay AI saying? And it's like you know okay AI all this stuff all this stuff all this stuff you know now you're going to bank you know now you're going to bank you know now you're going to bank [clears throat] on this to float your [clears throat] on this to float your [clears throat] on this to float your company or do whatever the hell you company or do whatever the hell you company or do whatever the hell you know. um you're going to run this race know. um you're going to run this race know. um you're going to run this race instead of looking at what's right in instead of looking at what's right in instead of looking at what's right in front of you, right? And um front of you, right? And um front of you, right? And um 5G is a great example. It's a great 5G is a great example. It's a great 5G is a great example. It's a great there's all this great technology.

  8. there's all this great technology. there's all this great technology. Everyone created the worst expectations Everyone created the worst expectations Everyone created the worst expectations for these things. never did any of the for these things. never did any of the for these things. never did any of the critical thinking to figure out how critical thinking to figure out how critical thinking to figure out how would you actually apply these things in would you actually apply these things in would you actually apply these things in markets and how would you deal with the markets and how would you deal with the markets and how would you deal with the brownfield the stuff that already exists brownfield the stuff that already exists brownfield the stuff that already exists there whether it's Wi-Fi or heart or there whether it's Wi-Fi or heart or there whether it's Wi-Fi or heart or other connectivity protocols out there other connectivity protocols out there other connectivity protocols out there and technologies how how do you approach and technologies how how do you approach and technologies how how do you approach those things but instead everybody just those things but instead everybody just those things but instead everybody just went bonkers with the 5G narrative went bonkers with the 5G narrative went bonkers with the 5G narrative thinking that it's going to solve thinking that it's going to solve thinking that it's going to solve everything I mean remember everything I mean remember everything I mean remember same with open rand and you know um just same with open rand and you know um just same with open rand and you know um just happened. Yeah. Oh no, I had I had I had happened. Yeah. Oh no, I had I had I had happened. Yeah. Oh no, I had I had I had some interesting conversations and I did some interesting conversations and I did some interesting conversations and I did bring up Open Rand Squid Game. bring up Open Rand Squid Game. bring up Open Rand Squid Game. >> Oh. Oh >> Oh. Oh >> Oh. Oh >> yeah. Well, >> yeah. Well, >> yeah. Well, >> red light green light for Mavanir. >> red light green light for Mavanir. >> red light green light for Mavanir. >> Yeah. Well, you know, there there's a >> Yeah. Well, you know, there there's a >> Yeah. Well, you know, there there's a bunch of Yeah, exactly. There there are bunch of Yeah, exactly. There there are bunch of Yeah, exactly. There there are what what am I famous for in the telco what what am I famous for in the telco what what am I famous for in the telco industry? Open rand Squid Game. And look industry? Open rand Squid Game. And look industry? Open rand Squid Game. And look at what happened to them.

  9. at what happened to them. at what happened to them. >> And everybody else had these massive >> And everybody else had these massive >> And everybody else had these massive forecasts about how open Rand's going to forecasts about how open Rand's going to forecasts about how open Rand's going to take over everything. And now everyone's take over everything. And now everyone's take over everything. And now everyone's wondering if it's dead, you know, it's wondering if it's dead, you know, it's wondering if it's dead, you know, it's like is it dead? So I mean, you know, like is it dead? So I mean, you know, like is it dead? So I mean, you know, but the I think you and the thing is you but the I think you and the thing is you but the I think you and the thing is you do believe that and and I, you know, I do believe that and and I, you know, I do believe that and and I, you know, I think we are in general totally aligned think we are in general totally aligned think we are in general totally aligned around over expectation. What is I around over expectation. What is I around over expectation. What is I believe different in this instance is believe different in this instance is believe different in this instance is that this is a technology. No, let me that this is a technology. No, let me that this is a technology. No, let me finish please. This is a techn it is finish please. This is a techn it is finish please. This is a techn it is different in what I'm trying to say that different in what I'm trying to say that different in what I'm trying to say that it is different in the sense that it's it is different in the sense that it's it is different in the sense that it's going to be much more longlasting in going to be much more longlasting in going to be much more longlasting in terms of damage. And the reason I'm terms of damage. And the reason I'm terms of damage. And the reason I'm saying that is because it is not a an saying that is because it is not a an saying that is because it is not a an exotic or nerdy or niche specialist exotic or nerdy or niche specialist exotic or nerdy or niche specialist thing like open rad or 5G. It is and I thing like open rad or 5G. It is and I thing like open rad or 5G. It is and I keep on repeating that every single time keep on repeating that every single time keep on repeating that every single time here. It is about language. So people here. It is about language. So people here. It is about language. So people get because you you if you want to say get because you you if you want to say get because you you if you want to say oh I'm going to save money with 5G oh I'm going to save money with 5G oh I'm going to save money with 5G because it's going to replace that and because it's going to replace that and because it's going to replace that and I'm going to do this and I'm going to go I'm going to do this and I'm going to go I'm going to do this and I'm going to go faster my transaction 2 milliseconds and faster my transaction 2 milliseconds and faster my transaction 2 milliseconds and 5 millcond this is an engineering thing 5 millcond this is an engineering thing 5 millcond this is an engineering thing [snorts] here the perception is I talk [snorts] here the perception is I talk [snorts] here the perception is I talk to that thing that thing replies to me to that thing that thing replies to me to that thing that thing replies to me and does something and oh it's much and does something and oh it's much and does something and oh it's much cheaper than a human. No, but cheaper than a human. No, but cheaper than a human. No, but >> no no but the perception again I'm >> no no but the perception again I'm >> no no but the perception again I'm talking about the perception you're talking about the perception you're talking about the perception you're talking you're talking to the thing it's talking you're talking to the thing it's talking you're talking to the thing it's the first time you have a technology the first time you have a technology the first time you have a technology where you're talking to the technology where you're talking to the technology where you're talking to the technology and the technology replies to you in and the technology replies to you in and the technology replies to you in language it has a very very profound language it has a very very profound language it has a very very profound impact

  10. impact impact >> but it all boils down to trust how many >> but it all boils down to trust how many >> but it all boils down to trust how many times are you going to go back to that times are you going to go back to that times are you going to go back to that same thing when it lies ultimately lies same thing when it lies ultimately lies same thing when it lies ultimately lies to you because it's hallucinating it to you because it's hallucinating it to you because it's hallucinating it doesn't know doesn't know doesn't know >> but Leonard the whole world the whole >> but Leonard the whole world the whole >> but Leonard the whole world the whole world lies to you 100% % of the time. world lies to you 100% % of the time. world lies to you 100% % of the time. >> Not if you have deterministic >> Not if you have deterministic >> Not if you have deterministic expectations of technology. No, they use expectations of technology. No, they use expectations of technology. No, they use it for non-deterministic it for non-deterministic it for non-deterministic applications like adult entertainment applications like adult entertainment applications like adult entertainment and all this other crap that you know and all this other crap that you know and all this other crap that you know doesn't really doesn't really doesn't really your productivity. your productivity. your productivity. >> Wait a second, Dimmitri. Are you saying >> Wait a second, Dimmitri. Are you saying >> Wait a second, Dimmitri. Are you saying that my new AI girlfriend is going to be that my new AI girlfriend is going to be that my new AI girlfriend is going to be lying to me? lying to me? lying to me? >> No, no, no. >> No, no, no. >> No, no, no. I say, I say, I say, >> "No, >> "No, >> "No, >> I'm saying that your existing human >> I'm saying that your existing human >> I'm saying that your existing human girlfriends already lies to you." girlfriends already lies to you." girlfriends already lies to you." >> No, they don't. [laughter] >> No, they don't. [laughter] >> No, they don't. [laughter] >> No, but that's the but that's the point, >> No, but that's the but that's the point, >> No, but that's the but that's the point, guys. The the first of all, the the the guys. The the first of all, the the the guys. The the first of all, the the the if if you still I mean, if you have a a if if you still I mean, if you have a a if if you still I mean, if you have a a an informed conversation amongst an informed conversation amongst an informed conversation amongst friends, yeah, you can probably decipher friends, yeah, you can probably decipher friends, yeah, you can probably decipher what is right and wrong. Okay.

  11. what is right and wrong. Okay. what is right and wrong. Okay. But if you listen to everything around But if you listen to everything around But if you listen to everything around you in the world right now from all the you in the world right now from all the you in the world right now from all the sources, there's how much lies from sources, there's how much lies from sources, there's how much lies from human that there's lies from AI. Come human that there's lies from AI. Come human that there's lies from AI. Come on. on. on. >> No. You know what? Look, even humans, if >> No. You know what? Look, even humans, if >> No. You know what? Look, even humans, if they keep lying to you, you don't trust they keep lying to you, you don't trust they keep lying to you, you don't trust them anymore. You know, it's like going them anymore. You know, it's like going them anymore. You know, it's like going back to the girlfriend, like if you back to the girlfriend, like if you back to the girlfriend, like if you smell, you know, your girlfriend or your smell, you know, your girlfriend or your smell, you know, your girlfriend or your wife is going to, "Oh my god, Rob, what wife is going to, "Oh my god, Rob, what wife is going to, "Oh my god, Rob, what was that?" was that?" was that?" >> Rob's going to lie. He's gonna say, "Oh, >> Rob's going to lie. He's gonna say, "Oh, >> Rob's going to lie. He's gonna say, "Oh, honey, that wasn't me. [laughter] honey, that wasn't me. [laughter] honey, that wasn't me.

[laughter] >> Again, I I >> Again, I I >> Again, I I [laughter] [laughter] [laughter] >> Yeah. Come on. No, it boils down to >> Yeah. Come on. No, it boils down to >> Yeah. Come on. No, it boils down to trust. And you know, you trust tools trust. And you know, you trust tools trust. And you know, you trust tools that you uh you can I mean, you trust that you uh you can I mean, you trust that you uh you can I mean, you trust tools that are reliable and and meet the tools that are reliable and and meet the tools that are reliable and and meet the expectations. And so if your whole use expectations. And so if your whole use expectations. And so if your whole use case and your requirement is fantasy and case and your requirement is fantasy and case and your requirement is fantasy and it can fulfill it, yeah, sure. It's it can fulfill it, yeah, sure. It's it can fulfill it, yeah, sure. It's going to freaking lie. It's going to going to freaking lie. It's going to going to freaking lie. It's going to say, "Oh my god, Leonard, you're so say, "Oh my god, Leonard, you're so say, "Oh my god, Leonard, you're so sexy. You're like more handsome than sexy. You're like more handsome than sexy. You're like more handsome than like freaking, you know, some K-pop."

  12. like freaking, you know, some K-pop." like freaking, you know, some K-pop." >> But no, no, we we live we live in the >> But no, no, we we live we live in the >> But no, no, we we live we live in the world of the few% that actually think world of the few% that actually think world of the few% that actually think they have at least the critical thinking they have at least the critical thinking they have at least the critical thinking to be able to assess trust and and to be able to assess trust and and to be able to assess trust and and decicate whenever something or somebody decicate whenever something or somebody decicate whenever something or somebody talks to you. The vast majority does not talks to you. The vast majority does not talks to you. The vast majority does not do that. This is why advertising works. do that. This is why advertising works. do that. This is why advertising works. This is society where you bombard people This is society where you bombard people This is society where you bombard people with stuff and they believe it. But what with stuff and they believe it. But what with stuff and they believe it. But what I'm saying is that now it's becoming I'm saying is that now it's becoming I'm saying is that now it's becoming artificial and it's going to be at a artificial and it's going to be at a artificial and it's going to be at a scale that we don't imagine. And I'm scale that we don't imagine. And I'm scale that we don't imagine. And I'm actually I'm saying it's going to get actually I'm saying it's going to get actually I'm saying it's going to get worse and worse and worse. Well, yeah, worse and worse and worse. Well, yeah, worse and worse and worse. Well, yeah, it will it will get worse because people it will it will get worse because people it will it will get worse because people will apply generative AI for the the, will apply generative AI for the the, will apply generative AI for the the, you know, for the intent of deceiving you know, for the intent of deceiving you know, for the intent of deceiving and doing and and, you know, stealing. I and doing and and, you know, stealing. I and doing and and, you know, stealing. I I I totally think that that is going to I I totally think that that is going to I I totally think that that is going to be the big frontier market. You know, be the big frontier market. You know, be the big frontier market. You know, cyber cyber cyber >> what we've talked about, right? Maybe we >> what we've talked about, right? Maybe we >> what we've talked about, right? Maybe we should lower the bar instead of the should lower the bar instead of the should lower the bar instead of the you're right the future fantasy thing you're right the future fantasy thing you're right the future fantasy thing about generative AI maybe we just say about generative AI maybe we just say about generative AI maybe we just say what do we agree on that it actually what do we agree on that it actually what do we agree on that it actually does well and just have that and say does well and just have that and say does well and just have that and say okay we're okay like we know that Claude okay we're okay like we know that Claude okay we're okay like we know that Claude is really good at writing code is really good at writing code is really good at writing code >> okay good check >> okay good check >> okay good check >> um it's good at summarizing documents >> um it's good at summarizing documents >> um it's good at summarizing documents >> if I upload a PDF I can ask questions >> if I upload a PDF I can ask questions >> if I upload a PDF I can ask questions about it it's pretty good at summarizing about it it's pretty good at summarizing about it it's pretty good at summarizing documents documents documents >> how that had had had that >> how that had had had that >> how that had had had that [clears throat] conversation. So for [clears throat] conversation. So for [clears throat] conversation. So for like remember last week we had a you like remember last week we had a you like remember last week we had a you know chat about the vibe coding right?

  13. know chat about the vibe coding right? know chat about the vibe coding right? >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> But when you use it for like let's say a >> But when you use it for like let's say a >> But when you use it for like let's say a product manager or product uh you know product manager or product uh you know product manager or product uh you know yeah product u lead uh it wants to yeah product u lead uh it wants to yeah product u lead uh it wants to ideulate it has an idea and they want to ideulate it has an idea and they want to ideulate it has an idea and they want to ideulate. It's a great way of just ideulate. It's a great way of just ideulate. It's a great way of just framing, get some working code out framing, get some working code out framing, get some working code out there. They can test it, but it's ne, there. They can test it, but it's ne, there. They can test it, but it's ne, you know, it's never the final code, you know, it's never the final code, you know, it's never the final code, right? You're, and we've already said right? You're, and we've already said right? You're, and we've already said this before, it you're still going to go this before, it you're still going to go this before, it you're still going to go through an SDLC. It may be adapted um through an SDLC. It may be adapted um through an SDLC. It may be adapted um for this, let's say, um prototype a for this, let's say, um prototype a for this, let's say, um prototype a prototyping type um um process, but prototyping type um um process, but prototyping type um um process, but ideation, it's great for that. And you ideation, it's great for that. And you ideation, it's great for that. And you know we see that even in um a lot of the know we see that even in um a lot of the know we see that even in um a lot of the creative use cases uh in art in music it creative use cases uh in art in music it creative use cases uh in art in music it can be used as a um prototyping and can be used as a um prototyping and can be used as a um prototyping and ideiation tool right and that can ideiation tool right and that can ideiation tool right and that can entirely be a uh you know a different entirely be a uh you know a different entirely be a uh you know a different flow from let's say a more deterministic flow from let's say a more deterministic flow from let's say a more deterministic production or design flow. Those things production or design flow. Those things production or design flow. Those things don't go away. you still need those don't go away. you still need those don't go away. you still need those tools but it's you know I that's where I tools but it's you know I that's where I tools but it's you know I that's where I see a lot of the benefit happening but see a lot of the benefit happening but see a lot of the benefit happening but then also uh in analytics in enhancing then also uh in analytics in enhancing then also uh in analytics in enhancing the data sets that are coming in so the data sets that are coming in so the data sets that are coming in so contextualizing it right contextualizing it right contextualizing it right um and then uh also with the models

  14. um and then uh also with the models um and then uh also with the models enhancing models or whatever algorithm enhancing models or whatever algorithm enhancing models or whatever algorithm but the thing is you're not going to in but the thing is you're not going to in but the thing is you're not going to in most cases because of economics you're most cases because of economics you're most cases because of economics you're not going to run it uh on GPUs or not going to run it uh on GPUs or not going to run it uh on GPUs or anything like that, you're going to be anything like that, you're going to be anything like that, you're going to be running it on traditional stuff because running it on traditional stuff because running it on traditional stuff because it's cheaper, right? So, you might take it's cheaper, right? So, you might take it's cheaper, right? So, you might take something like an agentic flow and something like an agentic flow and something like an agentic flow and reduce it to a uh RPA workflow with an reduce it to a uh RPA workflow with an reduce it to a uh RPA workflow with an algorithm instead of, you know, having, algorithm instead of, you know, having, algorithm instead of, you know, having, you know, [clears throat] an LLM at the you know, [clears throat] an LLM at the you know, [clears throat] an LLM at the end of all the tooling. you're going to end of all the tooling. you're going to end of all the tooling. you're going to try to reduce the cost and actually try to reduce the cost and actually try to reduce the cost and actually codify [clears throat] whatever codify [clears throat] whatever codify [clears throat] whatever intelligence that you want to scale out intelligence that you want to scale out intelligence that you want to scale out or whatever automation you want to scale or whatever automation you want to scale or whatever automation you want to scale out. And so, you know, I think again I'm out. And so, you know, I think again I'm out. And so, you know, I think again I'm outlining something that actually is outlining something that actually is outlining something that actually is going to be boring as hell for most going to be boring as hell for most going to be boring as hell for most people. But worst of all, for all the AI people. But worst of all, for all the AI people. But worst of all, for all the AI [clears throat] gear heads out there [clears throat] gear heads out there [clears throat] gear heads out there that have taken things over overboard, that have taken things over overboard, that have taken things over overboard, it it's not going to or these it it's not going to or these it it's not going to or these infrastructure guys, it's not going to infrastructure guys, it's not going to infrastructure guys, it's not going to require a lot of uh GPUs. You're going require a lot of uh GPUs. You're going require a lot of uh GPUs. You're going to resort to other cheaper forms of to resort to other cheaper forms of to resort to other cheaper forms of comput. But I think Rob, I would I would comput. But I think Rob, I would I would comput. But I think Rob, I would I would actually take the counter point because actually take the counter point because actually take the counter point because I think that the approach I think that the approach I think that the approach using the same my same line of thinking, using the same my same line of thinking, using the same my same line of thinking, the approach of saying, "Oh, let's the approach of saying, "Oh, let's the approach of saying, "Oh, let's figure out what it's good at."

  15. figure out what it's good at." figure out what it's good at." It's not going to cut it. Because if you It's not going to cut it. Because if you It's not going to cut it. Because if you ask me what is it good at, my answer, my ask me what is it good at, my answer, my ask me what is it good at, my answer, my answer is going to be it's good at answer is going to be it's good at answer is going to be it's good at talking to you. It speaks the same talking to you. It speaks the same talking to you. It speaks the same language as you. It communicates with language as you. It communicates with language as you. It communicates with you with language. Again, I'm going to you with language. Again, I'm going to you with language. Again, I'm going to go back to that. So you can very well go back to that. So you can very well go back to that. So you can very well said you it's like a human. You're said you it's like a human. You're said you it's like a human. You're talking to it, but you don't know if you talking to it, but you don't know if you talking to it, but you don't know if you can trust it. You don't know if he's can trust it. You don't know if he's can trust it. You don't know if he's right. You don't know if he's wrong. You right. You don't know if he's wrong. You right. You don't know if he's wrong. You don't know if he's smoking something. don't know if he's smoking something. don't know if he's smoking something. You don't know if he has weird ideas. You don't know if he has weird ideas. You don't know if he has weird ideas. You don't know that. So now we're going You don't know that. So now we're going You don't know that. So now we're going to have to live in a world where you to have to live in a world where you to have to live in a world where you have those digital entities that have those digital entities that have those digital entities that actually communicates with you the same actually communicates with you the same actually communicates with you the same way you communicate to humans. They're way you communicate to humans. They're way you communicate to humans. They're going to scale in numbers, but you have going to scale in numbers, but you have going to scale in numbers, but you have no idea what's behind. And it's your job no idea what's behind. And it's your job no idea what's behind. And it's your job to investigate, to interrogate it, to to investigate, to interrogate it, to to investigate, to interrogate it, to understand what it's good at. But understand what it's good at. But understand what it's good at. But there's no silver bullet. It's good at there's no silver bullet. It's good at there's no silver bullet. It's good at that, it's bad at that. And the trouble that, it's bad at that. And the trouble that, it's bad at that. And the trouble again is it talks to you. That I think again is it talks to you. That I think again is it talks to you. That I think that's people don't realize how profound that's people don't realize how profound that's people don't realize how profound this is from an interface. This is the this is from an interface. This is the this is from an interface. This is the first technology we have where the first technology we have where the first technology we have where the interface is your natural language. This interface is your natural language. This interface is your natural language. This is why there's so much buzz to me around is why there's so much buzz to me around is why there's so much buzz to me around it.

  16. it. it. >> Yeah. But you know like um if I go >> Yeah. But you know like um if I go >> Yeah. But you know like um if I go beyond the summarizing but like the beyond the summarizing but like the beyond the summarizing but like the reason I've been pushing this whole reason I've been pushing this whole reason I've been pushing this whole enterprise brain thing and it is back to enterprise brain thing and it is back to enterprise brain thing and it is back to hey I kind of know what I you know it hey I kind of know what I you know it hey I kind of know what I you know it can it do more than what I'm saying? can it do more than what I'm saying? can it do more than what I'm saying? Sure. I think of it like a database and Sure. I think of it like a database and Sure. I think of it like a database and it is it is a kind of a database. It's it is it is a kind of a database. It's it is it is a kind of a database. It's this vector thing. Um, if I when I talk this vector thing. Um, if I when I talk this vector thing. Um, if I when I talk about the enterprise brain and I'm about the enterprise brain and I'm about the enterprise brain and I'm putting all the data from a company, all putting all the data from a company, all putting all the data from a company, all its documents, all its PDFs, its documents, all its PDFs, its documents, all its PDFs, spreadsheets, databases, tables, and spreadsheets, databases, tables, and spreadsheets, databases, tables, and suck it in there. All of a sudden, it suck it in there. All of a sudden, it suck it in there. All of a sudden, it does a great job of now I I can it's does a great job of now I I can it's does a great job of now I I can it's like a select star from vector database like a select star from vector database like a select star from vector database where blah blah blah blah blah except it where blah blah blah blah blah except it where blah blah blah blah blah except it seems more natural and like you say, it seems more natural and like you say, it seems more natural and like you say, it talks to you and everything like that. I talks to you and everything like that. I talks to you and everything like that. I think it's I think it's good at that and think it's I think it's good at that and think it's I think it's good at that and I think there's value for organizations I think there's value for organizations I think there's value for organizations for something because we do it today for something because we do it today for something because we do it today like we we do queries on relational like we we do queries on relational like we we do queries on relational databases to get an answer to a databases to get an answer to a databases to get an answer to a question. And so when I think of it like question. And so when I think of it like question. And so when I think of it like that way and and I'll probably get fired that way and and I'll probably get fired that way and and I'll probably get fired for you know lowering the bar so much on for you know lowering the bar so much on for you know lowering the bar so much on what I think AI is about because what I think AI is about because what I think AI is about because everybody else is like oh it kicked ass everybody else is like oh it kicked ass everybody else is like oh it kicked ass on humanity's last exam and it's PhD on humanity's last exam and it's PhD on humanity's last exam and it's PhD level and all these things and it's level and all these things and it's level and all these things and it's going to do this.

  17. going to do this. going to do this. >> This is [laughter] All the >> This is [laughter] All the >> This is [laughter] All the really smart people think it's not really smart people think it's not really smart people think it's not but it doesn't mean they're but it doesn't mean they're but it doesn't mean they're right. right. right. >> What do you find smart? >> What do you find smart? >> What do you find smart? >> I know PhDs from MIT and you know that's >> I know PhDs from MIT and you know that's >> I know PhDs from MIT and you know that's smart. Those are smart guys and they smart. Those are smart guys and they smart. Those are smart guys and they live it dayto-day and so and when I hear live it dayto-day and so and when I hear live it dayto-day and so and when I hear them and they talk deeply about it, I them and they talk deeply about it, I them and they talk deeply about it, I don't think they're making stuff up. don't think they're making stuff up. don't think they're making stuff up. there see but in my mind I was like there see but in my mind I was like there see but in my mind I was like here's how my simple brain works and here's how my simple brain works and here's how my simple brain works and it's just about a store of data and it's just about a store of data and it's just about a store of data and easily retrieving it maybe more easily easily retrieving it maybe more easily easily retrieving it maybe more easily than a SQL statement when they say that than a SQL statement when they say that than a SQL statement when they say that AI like the latest chatbt 5.1 or AI like the latest chatbt 5.1 or AI like the latest chatbt 5.1 or whatever let's just say it passes the whatever let's just say it passes the whatever let's just say it passes the MCAT so that it can go to med school or MCAT so that it can go to med school or MCAT so that it can go to med school or it passes whatever medical exams and so it passes whatever medical exams and so it passes whatever medical exams and so now it's as good as any doctor now it's as good as any doctor now it's as good as any doctor people get excited about that but at the people get excited about that but at the people get excited about that but at the same time I go Well, wait a second. The same time I go Well, wait a second. The same time I go Well, wait a second. The reason it can pass the exam is because reason it can pass the exam is because reason it can pass the exam is because the new updated version of the models, the new updated version of the models, the new updated version of the models, you've pumped in all the questions and you've pumped in all the questions and you've pumped in all the questions and answers to every medical question ever answers to every medical question ever answers to every medical question ever made in history and it's in the made in history and it's in the made in history and it's in the database. And so when it's looking at database. And so when it's looking at database. And so when it's looking at the test and having to answer the the test and having to answer the the test and having to answer the questions, probably with the help of a questions, probably with the help of a questions, probably with the help of a person, um, of course it gets 100% on person, um, of course it gets 100% on person, um, of course it gets 100% on the exam because the answers are already the exam because the answers are already the exam because the answers are already in its vector database. That's why in its vector database. That's why in its vector database. That's why people are like, it's amazing. But it's people are like, it's amazing. But it's people are like, it's amazing. But it's like, well, no, it scraped everything.

  18. like, well, no, it scraped everything. like, well, no, it scraped everything. That's why it seems so smart. That's why it seems so smart. That's why it seems so smart. >> Rob, you you exactly would explain what >> Rob, you you exactly would explain what >> Rob, you you exactly would explain what I meant by And that's why I I meant by And that's why I I meant by And that's why I said you the people that say that are said you the people that say that are said you the people that say that are saying By the way, I would saying By the way, I would saying By the way, I would oppose if you seen the meta guys that oppose if you seen the meta guys that oppose if you seen the meta guys that actually left Meta to go work on another actually left Meta to go work on another actually left Meta to go work on another company who is really seeking Lan what company who is really seeking Lan what company who is really seeking Lan what is real intelligence. That's a smart is real intelligence. That's a smart is real intelligence. That's a smart move and and it's a logical move. But move and and it's a logical move. But move and and it's a logical move. But what I've also because I've commented what I've also because I've commented what I've also because I've commented actually on that on on LinkedIn. I think actually on that on on LinkedIn. I think actually on that on on LinkedIn. I think for a company like Meta what those model for a company like Meta what those model for a company like Meta what those model do is fantastic. do is fantastic. do is fantastic. >> No. Yeah. You know why >> No. Yeah. You know why >> No. Yeah. You know why >> does it influence people to buy some >> does it influence people to buy some >> does it influence people to buy some stuff but is it really intentious? No, stuff but is it really intentious? No, stuff but is it really intentious? No, it is. Now I agree with you. If you it is. Now I agree with you. If you it is. Now I agree with you. If you point those train model to knowledge point those train model to knowledge point those train model to knowledge that is creating of good value it is that is creating of good value it is that is creating of good value it is extremely effective and fantastic at extremely effective and fantastic at extremely effective and fantastic at distilling it and also finding distilling it and also finding distilling it and also finding misalignment in pattern. I use it for misalignment in pattern. I use it for misalignment in pattern. I use it for that myself in my everyday job. I have that myself in my everyday job. I have that myself in my everyday job. I have reference stuff messaging documents and reference stuff messaging documents and reference stuff messaging documents and every time I build marketing assets say every time I build marketing assets say every time I build marketing assets say hey check that across the messaging and hey check that across the messaging and hey check that across the messaging and it's fantastic at that. So if you point it's fantastic at that. So if you point it's fantastic at that. So if you point I think that the way it is what is great I think that the way it is what is great I think that the way it is what is great at is actually distilling and giving you at is actually distilling and giving you at is actually distilling and giving you information about knowledge assuming information about knowledge assuming information about knowledge assuming that knowledge is the good thing. Now if that knowledge is the good thing. Now if that knowledge is the good thing. Now if you put bad knowledge it will give you you put bad knowledge it will give you you put bad knowledge it will give you bad bad sting but it is consistent bad bad sting but it is consistent bad bad sting but it is consistent because it's by nature it finds because it's by nature it finds because it's by nature it finds patterns. So it is consistent. It give patterns. So it is consistent. It give patterns. So it is consistent. It give you consistency. You give him crap, it you consistency. You give him crap, it you consistency. You give him crap, it will give you crap. You give him not will give you crap. You give him not will give you crap. You give him not enough, it will hallucinate.

  19. enough, it will hallucinate. enough, it will hallucinate. >> You give him great, it will reive you >> You give him great, it will reive you >> You give him great, it will reive you great. So So it is a great tool. But great. So So it is a great tool. But great. So So it is a great tool. But again, you have to understand, again, you have to understand, again, you have to understand, you know, the way to interact with it. you know, the way to interact with it. you know, the way to interact with it. And you said the words the first step of And you said the words the first step of And you said the words the first step of AI is pattern matching. AI is pattern matching. AI is pattern matching. >> Um, you know, machine learning, we're >> Um, you know, machine learning, we're >> Um, you know, machine learning, we're matching and and we did that with all matching and and we did that with all matching and and we did that with all our analytics actually. And so I our analytics actually. And so I our analytics actually. And so I remember thinking a great early use back remember thinking a great early use back remember thinking a great early use back to summarization and stuff what like to to summarization and stuff what like to to summarization and stuff what like to tie it into IoT is I might use analytics tie it into IoT is I might use analytics tie it into IoT is I might use analytics or if this then that or maybe machine or if this then that or maybe machine or if this then that or maybe machine learning on a machine and the machine I learning on a machine and the machine I learning on a machine and the machine I it says it's going to fail next Tuesday. it says it's going to fail next Tuesday. it says it's going to fail next Tuesday. I want to fix it before it fails and I want to fix it before it fails and I want to fix it before it fails and here's what's wrong and I'm a journeyman here's what's wrong and I'm a journeyman here's what's wrong and I'm a journeyman mechanic and I don't know how to fix it. mechanic and I don't know how to fix it. mechanic and I don't know how to fix it. But if I take for that particular But if I take for that particular But if I take for that particular machine, if I've uploaded the user machine, if I've uploaded the user machine, if I've uploaded the user manual and everything about that machine manual and everything about that machine manual and everything about that machine to AI and it's already got distilled to AI and it's already got distilled to AI and it's already got distilled now, I can take the information I got now, I can take the information I got now, I can take the information I got from my IoT system and plug it in there. from my IoT system and plug it in there. from my IoT system and plug it in there. And I've seen people do this and they And I've seen people do this and they And I've seen people do this and they go, "Oh yes, when you see this problem go, "Oh yes, when you see this problem go, "Oh yes, when you see this problem pattern matching again, right, do you pattern matching again, right, do you pattern matching again, right, do you need to go take a screwdriver and do need to go take a screwdriver and do need to go take a screwdriver and do this and do that and replace this?" And this and do that and replace this?" And this and do that and replace this?" And so, and so kind of completing the so, and so kind of completing the so, and so kind of completing the problem, you know, we s we found there's problem, you know, we s we found there's problem, you know, we s we found there's a problem, now we got to solve it, and a problem, now we got to solve it, and a problem, now we got to solve it, and I'm an idiot, but AI can help me. Well, I'm an idiot, but AI can help me. Well, I'm an idiot, but AI can help me. Well, it's because it's it's been trained on it's because it's it's been trained on it's because it's it's been trained on the information about that machine. And the information about that machine. And the information about that machine. And so, it helps you complete the task. And so, it helps you complete the task. And so, it helps you complete the task. And so, uh, I I think it's I think it's good so, uh, I I think it's I think it's good so, uh, I I think it's I think it's good for that stuff. I just don't know. We're for that stuff. I just don't know. We're for that stuff. I just don't know. We're still waiting for it to still waiting for it to still waiting for it to >> come up with new things. People are >> come up with new things. People are >> come up with new things. People are waiting for it to be brilliant on stuff

  20. waiting for it to be brilliant on stuff waiting for it to be brilliant on stuff we don't know yet. When I when I hear we don't know yet. When I when I hear we don't know yet. When I when I hear the guys on Moonshot talking about we're the guys on Moonshot talking about we're the guys on Moonshot talking about we're going to solve maths, going to solve maths, going to solve maths, >> we're going to solve physics, >> we're going to solve physics, >> we're going to solve physics, >> we're going to solve everything, and >> we're going to solve everything, and >> we're going to solve everything, and then all of a sudden all the secrets of then all of a sudden all the secrets of then all of a sudden all the secrets of the universe are be like bing. the universe are be like bing. the universe are be like bing. >> Yeah. Not not with the contact, not with >> Yeah. Not not with the contact, not with >> Yeah. Not not with the contact, not with the contact. I I totally agree with the contact. I I totally agree with the contact. I I totally agree with that. I think it's a it's a great source that. I think it's a it's a great source that. I think it's a it's a great source of knowledge and again great at of knowledge and again great at of knowledge and again great at distilling stuff. So, it's a fantastic distilling stuff. So, it's a fantastic distilling stuff. So, it's a fantastic tool and this is I'm I'm with you on tool and this is I'm I'm with you on tool and this is I'm I'm with you on that. We had this conversation I think that. We had this conversation I think that. We had this conversation I think last week or the week before. What I'm last week or the week before. What I'm last week or the week before. What I'm personally fascinated is all those personally fascinated is all those personally fascinated is all those people you mentioned say, "Oh, it's people you mentioned say, "Oh, it's people you mentioned say, "Oh, it's going to solve all this problem we going to solve all this problem we going to solve all this problem we haven't solved as human." I'm not haven't solved as human." I'm not haven't solved as human." I'm not interesting in that. I'm interested in interesting in that. I'm interested in interesting in that. I'm interested in something that actually give me access something that actually give me access something that actually give me access to knowledge I don't have very quickly. to knowledge I don't have very quickly. to knowledge I don't have very quickly. I want to fix a problem. Something is I want to fix a problem. Something is I want to fix a problem. Something is very knowledgeable. I go to it, it helps very knowledgeable. I go to it, it helps very knowledgeable. I go to it, it helps me fix the problem. That's great. me fix the problem. That's great. me fix the problem. That's great. >> But but that the problem is generalizing >> But but that the problem is generalizing >> But but that the problem is generalizing that because it takes a lot of work. that because it takes a lot of work. that because it takes a lot of work. what we're what I'm seeing in all the what we're what I'm seeing in all the what we're what I'm seeing in all the research I've done in three years on research I've done in three years on research I've done in three years on this the generative AI genie this the generative AI genie this the generative AI genie you know release is it's a hell of a lot you know release is it's a hell of a lot you know release is it's a hell of a lot harder than that to get to good and harder than that to get to good and harder than that to get to good and again it boils down to trust and again it boils down to trust and again it boils down to trust and trustworthiness and then underneath that trustworthiness and then underneath that trustworthiness and then underneath that you have to have reliability you have to have reliability you have to have reliability it has to be safe and it has to be it has to be safe and it has to be it has to be safe and it has to be accurate right and sound those are accurate right and sound those are accurate right and sound those are really really difficult to achieve for really really difficult to achieve for really really difficult to achieve for almost any application. So when you say almost any application. So when you say almost any application. So when you say knowledge, yeah, if it's just a guess, I knowledge, yeah, if it's just a guess, I knowledge, yeah, if it's just a guess, I wouldn't call it a knowledge it a base,

  21. wouldn't call it a knowledge it a base, wouldn't call it a knowledge it a base, it's a guess base. U the the thing is is it's a guess base. U the the thing is is it's a guess base. U the the thing is is it is it it time and time again the it is it it time and time again the it is it it time and time again the experts have been wrong. Okay, it experts have been wrong. Okay, it experts have been wrong. Okay, it doesn't matter whether or not they have doesn't matter whether or not they have doesn't matter whether or not they have a degree from MIT, there's exaggerations a degree from MIT, there's exaggerations a degree from MIT, there's exaggerations that have colored all the narratives. that have colored all the narratives. that have colored all the narratives. You know, LLMs have fallen flat on their You know, LLMs have fallen flat on their You know, LLMs have fallen flat on their faces on their promises and the faces on their promises and the faces on their promises and the expectations. The scaling laws didn't expectations. The scaling laws didn't expectations. The scaling laws didn't work out. So, what do they have to do? work out. So, what do they have to do? work out. So, what do they have to do? They had to move toe. Then next, in They had to move toe. Then next, in They had to move toe. Then next, in order to improve the um you know the order to improve the um you know the order to improve the um you know the accuracy, they had to move to to um you accuracy, they had to move to to um you accuracy, they had to move to to um you know this long these long thinking know this long these long thinking know this long these long thinking reasoning models, right? Which actually reasoning models, right? Which actually reasoning models, right? Which actually weren't improving on top of the LLMs. weren't improving on top of the LLMs. weren't improving on top of the LLMs. And then we realize that oh wow this is And then we realize that oh wow this is And then we realize that oh wow this is like these things can not only like these things can not only like these things can not only hallucinate they can get into chains of hallucinate they can get into chains of hallucinate they can get into chains of confusion. And by the way that chain of confusion. And by the way that chain of confusion. And by the way that chain of confusion thing that I observed early on confusion thing that I observed early on confusion thing that I observed early on is a real real thing and it impacts the is a real real thing and it impacts the is a real real thing and it impacts the the economics of anything that anybody the economics of anything that anybody the economics of anything that anybody is imagining they can do with this is imagining they can do with this is imagining they can do with this stuff. The one thing that people haven't stuff. The one thing that people haven't stuff. The one thing that people haven't haven't realized yet and it definitely haven't realized yet and it definitely haven't realized yet and it definitely hasn't trickled up to Jensen Huang is hasn't trickled up to Jensen Huang is hasn't trickled up to Jensen Huang is how expensive it is to do anything with how expensive it is to do anything with how expensive it is to do anything with this stuff. And so you have a lot of this stuff. And so you have a lot of this stuff. And so you have a lot of developers who are saying this is not developers who are saying this is not developers who are saying this is not viable. Uh and so but and the illusion viable. Uh and so but and the illusion viable. Uh and so but and the illusion there's this constant illusion and there's this constant illusion and there's this constant illusion and disconnect from reality grounding which disconnect from reality grounding which disconnect from reality grounding which always brings you back to the question always brings you back to the question always brings you back to the question of can I trust this stuff right and this

  22. of can I trust this stuff right and this of can I trust this stuff right and this you know the people who think about this you know the people who think about this you know the people who think about this very sha in a very shallow way very sha in a very shallow way very sha in a very shallow way non-technical way have [clears throat] non-technical way have [clears throat] non-technical way have [clears throat] not yet not yet not yet arrived at these questions or um arrived at these questions or um arrived at these questions or um grounding grounding realities you know grounding grounding realities you know grounding grounding realities you know and so these are that's why everyone is and so these are that's why everyone is and so these are that's why everyone is so behind on IoT coffee talk quite so behind on IoT coffee talk quite so behind on IoT coffee talk quite frankly cuz a lot of the conversations frankly cuz a lot of the conversations frankly cuz a lot of the conversations we've had on the show have already we've had on the show have already we've had on the show have already addressed a lot of these things for the addressed a lot of these things for the addressed a lot of these things for the last two years since Jack 3 years since last two years since Jack 3 years since last two years since Jack 3 years since chat GPT has come out and you know um chat GPT has come out and you know um chat GPT has come out and you know um and these are not learning systems and and these are not learning systems and and these are not learning systems and this is a huge misconception that I this is a huge misconception that I this is a huge misconception that I still hear a lot of people um you know still hear a lot of people um you know still hear a lot of people um you know make is that they they say these things make is that they they say these things make is that they they say these things are learning no they're trained it's are learning no they're trained it's are learning no they're trained it's different the cost of actually learning different the cost of actually learning different the cost of actually learning Having these things learn is Having these things learn is Having these things learn is tremendously expensive. So these aren't tremendously expensive. So these aren't tremendously expensive. So these aren't learning systems. They don't learn learning systems. They don't learn learning systems. They don't learn merely merely merely remotely as quickly as humans do. Humans remotely as quickly as humans do. Humans remotely as quickly as humans do. Humans learn like that. these things. You gotta learn like that. these things. You gotta learn like that. these things. You gotta freaking send a data set, make sure that freaking send a data set, make sure that freaking send a data set, make sure that data set is kosher, and then run it data set is kosher, and then run it data set is kosher, and then run it through like millions of dollars of uh through like millions of dollars of uh through like millions of dollars of uh GPU hours in order to retrain the model.

  23. GPU hours in order to retrain the model. GPU hours in order to retrain the model. Then it learns. Then it learns. Then it learns. Think about how crappy that is, Think about how crappy that is, Think about how crappy that is, [clears throat] right? And then rag and [clears throat] right? And then rag and [clears throat] right? And then rag and all this other stuff are proxies for all this other stuff are proxies for all this other stuff are proxies for learning. So it creates not only a learning. So it creates not only a learning. So it creates not only a illusion of thinking, illusion of illusion of thinking, illusion of illusion of thinking, illusion of creativity also creates these additional creativity also creates these additional creativity also creates these additional constructs create an illusion of constructs create an illusion of constructs create an illusion of learning and but they don't learn. The learning and but they don't learn. The learning and but they don't learn. The LLM does not learn and that's the big LLM does not learn and that's the big LLM does not learn and that's the big problem they or all kinds of constructs problem they or all kinds of constructs problem they or all kinds of constructs and all of them are falling short. and all of them are falling short. and all of them are falling short. >> Well, it it it it does not learn the >> Well, it it it it does not learn the >> Well, it it it it does not learn the same way humans learn. It learns between same way humans learn. It learns between same way humans learn. It learns between versions of models. But you covered on versions of models. But you covered on versions of models.

No, but what I'm saying the problem with the trust the problem with problem with the trust the problem with problem with the trust the problem with the trust argument Leonard is you can the trust argument Leonard is you can the trust argument Leonard is you can replace AI by human and you have the replace AI by human and you have the replace AI by human and you have the same question. So that's why I'm saying same question. So that's why I'm saying same question. So that's why I'm saying it doesn't resonate psychologically to it doesn't resonate psychologically to it doesn't resonate psychologically to people. You have you have the same people. You have you have the same people. You have you have the same problem with humans. How do I trust you?

They're just layering on more five now. They're just layering on more five now. They're just layering on more abstractions to not only scale this abstractions to not only scale this abstractions to not only scale this thing out, but to uh make this thing thing out, but to uh make this thing thing out, but to uh make this thing look like something that it isn't and look like something that it isn't and look like something that it isn't and allow people to actually leverage this allow people to actually leverage this allow people to actually leverage this thing uh in a way that makes it look thing uh in a way that makes it look thing uh in a way that makes it look more like a security, right?

The US currency was always backed by The US currency was always backed by The US currency was always backed by gold in Fort Knox and in New York. Uh gold in Fort Knox and in New York.

A lot of people think it was anymore." A lot of people think it was anymore." A lot of people think it was an arbitrary thing to get off the gold an arbitrary thing to get off the gold an arbitrary thing to get off the gold standard, but it was like it was weird. standard, but it was like it was weird. standard, but it was like it was weird. It was almost like rational economics It was almost like rational economics It was almost like rational economics for a change, which we don't have today. for a change, which we don't have today. for a change, which we don't have today. And it was like we don't have enough And it was like we don't have enough And it was like we don't have enough gold to back the dollar anymore. And so gold to back the dollar anymore. And so gold to back the dollar anymore. And so we're going to create fiat currency we're going to create fiat currency we're going to create fiat currency where we're just going to now say the where we're just going to now say the where we're just going to now say the dollar is backed by the full faith and dollar is backed by the full faith and dollar is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. What I credit of the United States. What I credit of the United States. What I often tell you, and I've heard other often tell you, and I've heard other often tell you, and I've heard other people say similar things, it's backed people say similar things, it's backed people say similar things, it's backed by ICBMs. by ICBMs. by ICBMs. Other people will say it's backed by the Other people will say it's backed by the Other people will say it's backed by the fact that the US military can just take fact that the US military can just take fact that the US military can just take out anybody. And so there's no such out anybody. And so there's no such out anybody. And so there's no such thing as America defaulting and oh no, thing as America defaulting and oh no, thing as America defaulting and oh no, it's over for us. It's like suck it, you it's over for us. It's like suck it, you it's over for us. It's like suck it, you know? That's that's the difference. It's know? That's that's the difference. It's know? That's that's the difference.

And so, you know, here >> And so, uh, yeah. And so, you know, here >> And so, uh, yeah. And so, you know, here we go. And so, it's funny to seeing we go. And so, it's funny to seeing we go. And so, it's funny to seeing these crypto guys stocking up on gold.

  41. these crypto guys stocking up on gold. these crypto guys stocking up on gold. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> To try to create the illusion that >> To try to create the illusion that >> To try to create the illusion that there's something backing their crypto. there's something backing their crypto. there's something backing their crypto. >> Well, in the case of stable coins, it is >> Well, in the case of stable coins, it is >> Well, in the case of stable coins, it is a viable model if you back it up with a viable model if you back it up with a viable model if you back it up with assets. It actually, as I said earlier, assets. It actually, as I said earlier, assets. It actually, as I said earlier, it actually realize the idea of a it actually realize the idea of a it actually realize the idea of a digital currency. digital currency. digital currency. >> Yeah. But you don't need it. Well, not >> Yeah. But you don't need it. Well, not >> Yeah. But you don't need it. Well, not really. Um, it's a digital it's a form really.

And so pay payment mechanism, right? And so pay payment mechanism, right? And so this is where people get payments this is where people get payments this is where people get payments confused with um currency. And it confused with um currency.

But I was like, huh, I wonder if I could show up at the closing and if I could show up at the closing and if I could show up at the closing and say the the closing cost, the down say the the closing cost, the down say the the closing cost, the down payment, all that stuff. I wonder if I payment, all that stuff. I wonder if I payment, all that stuff. I wonder if I should show up and say, I'm going to pay should show up and say, I'm going to pay should show up and say, I'm going to pay for that with a stable coin. And for that with a stable coin. And for that with a stable coin. And [laughter] I'm like, I'm going to use [laughter] I'm like, I'm going to use [laughter] I'm like, I'm going to use crypto to pay for it cuz you know, all crypto to pay for it cuz you know, all crypto to pay for it cuz you know, all these guys are all talking a good game. these guys are all talking a good game. these guys are all talking a good game.
