Yeah. This has like 107 00:04:03,566 --> 00:04:06,133 pixel art for the terrain. And yeah, I 108 00:04:06,133 --> 00:04:08,433 was going to say it like it 109 00:04:08,433 --> 00:04:11,266 has that that feel where like 110 00:04:11,366 --> 00:04:13,533 it's not it doesn't feel like it's like 111 00:04:13,533 --> 00:04:16,966 exclusively like 3D geometry. 112 00:04:17,266 --> 00:04:18,633 Like the I don't know if the 113 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,199 textures are fully pixel art or if it's 114 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:22,633 like doing some kind of 115 00:04:22,633 --> 00:04:25,533 like, like perspective 116 00:04:25,533 --> 00:04:29,833 manipulation on on on sprites to make 117 00:04:29,833 --> 00:04:32,066 them appear 3D. But it looks really cool. 118 00:04:33,266 --> 00:04:34,866 Yeah, that that's probably one of my 119 00:04:34,866 --> 00:04:35,966 favorite demos I've tried out 120 00:04:35,966 --> 00:04:37,699 right now. That said, not all 121 00:04:37,699 --> 00:04:39,833 demos have been released yet, of course. 122 00:04:40,433 --> 00:04:41,800 So it's only a matter of 123 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,933 time before I try them all out. 124 00:04:43,833 --> 00:04:46,933 Or try out as many as I can potentially. 125 00:04:48,166 --> 00:04:49,633 But yeah, that's what 126 00:04:49,633 --> 00:04:50,466 I've been doing this week. 127 00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:51,766 I guess I could talk 128 00:04:51,766 --> 00:04:52,633 about what I've been doing. 129 00:04:53,066 --> 00:04:57,233 I and then we'll get to like what 130 00:04:57,233 --> 00:04:58,233 gardeners because gardeners have been 131 00:04:58,233 --> 00:04:59,233 gone for a little bit. 132 00:04:59,233 --> 00:05:02,966 And yeah, you have a lot of good stuff. I 133 00:05:02,966 --> 00:05:03,966 have been messing around 134 00:05:03,966 --> 00:05:07,033 with lossless and FSR four 135 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,966 on the steam deck. And I am both really 136 00:05:10,966 --> 00:05:13,033 impressed and also a little disappointed 137 00:05:14,066 --> 00:05:15,800 because the input lag is a little bit 138 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,600 high on some of the 139 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,966 games. Some games actually 140 00:05:18,466 --> 00:05:20,733 isn't too bad, but the loss. Yeah, 141 00:05:20,733 --> 00:05:21,766 there's some input lag. 142 00:05:22,133 --> 00:05:23,366 And if it's an action game, 143 00:05:23,666 --> 00:05:27,100 that really matters. And so have you guys 144 00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:28,066 played around with the 145 00:05:28,066 --> 00:05:30,000 lossless stuff or FSR 146 00:05:30,066 --> 00:05:34,033 four for the steam deck yet? No, no. It's 147 00:05:34,033 --> 00:05:35,366 impressive. And 148 00:05:35,366 --> 00:05:36,466 honestly, if they baked it 149 00:05:36,466 --> 00:05:38,533 into the steam deck, which they could, 150 00:05:38,533 --> 00:05:39,233 because right now you have 151 00:05:39,233 --> 00:05:40,300 to do it through like the 152 00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:45,833 decky loader. And then you also have to 153 00:05:45,833 --> 00:05:48,000 get like a pre-release of 154 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,866 the lossless or like a certain 155 00:05:49,866 --> 00:05:52,800 plugin to end yet the by lossless on 156 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,166 steam and all that. It's impressive, 157 00:05:55,166 --> 00:05:56,066 especially if you only 158 00:05:56,066 --> 00:05:58,399 have a steam deck, like it definitely 159 00:05:58,399 --> 00:05:59,766 will extend the life of it, 160 00:05:59,766 --> 00:06:01,566 but it also has a little bit of 161 00:06:01,566 --> 00:06:04,133 that input lag, depending on how, because 162 00:06:04,133 --> 00:06:05,266 you can adjust the lossless 163 00:06:05,266 --> 00:06:06,566 to be like two times and then 164 00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:08,600 you can increase your frame rate. And it 165 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,566 very much does so, but a 166 00:06:12,566 --> 00:06:13,733 little bit at the cost of input, 167 00:06:14,699 --> 00:06:18,033 like controller input. So it's definitely 168 00:06:18,033 --> 00:06:20,333 worth it. And I was, if it 169 00:06:20,333 --> 00:06:21,233 was going to work perfect, 170 00:06:21,433 --> 00:06:24,433 then I would potentially have switched 171 00:06:24,433 --> 00:06:26,533 over to like, maybe wouldn't 172 00:06:26,533 --> 00:06:27,866 have gotten the Xbox handheld, 173 00:06:27,866 --> 00:06:29,100 but I'm thinking about still getting 174 00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:32,666 that. But it's pretty interesting. It 175 00:06:32,666 --> 00:06:33,433 doesn't work for everyone. 176 00:06:33,433 --> 00:06:36,699 A thousand dollar handheld? Yeah, but I 177 00:06:36,699 --> 00:06:38,000 can write it off on taxes if I do a 178 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,966 couple of videos on it. 179 00:06:38,966 --> 00:06:42,433 So I have some taxes coming up next year. 180 00:06:44,633 --> 00:06:46,133 And I'm going to, but 181 00:06:46,133 --> 00:06:50,466 yeah, it doesn't, it works for 182 00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:53,066 DirectX 11 and 12, just as a note too for 183 00:06:53,066 --> 00:06:54,133 anyone that's so if the 184 00:06:54,133 --> 00:06:55,733 game supports DirectX 11 or 12, 185 00:06:56,433 --> 00:07:01,333 it uses like DLSS and then tricks it into 186 00:07:01,333 --> 00:07:02,600 using FSR. It's a whole 187 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,666 thing. But yeah, between that and 188 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,833 playing the dwarf game, Deep Rock 189 00:07:13,833 --> 00:07:16,600 Galactic, survivor, 190 00:07:17,833 --> 00:07:18,699 survivor. That's what I've been doing 191 00:07:18,733 --> 00:07:24,266 this week. It's really fun. Nice. Nice. I 192 00:07:24,266 --> 00:07:24,866 know some guys that 193 00:07:24,866 --> 00:07:26,100 like Deep Rock Galactic, 194 00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:29,800 like the actual game though. I like both 195 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,633 a lot. I just, I don't play, 196 00:07:33,633 --> 00:07:34,433 I don't have anyone to play 197 00:07:34,433 --> 00:07:36,433 with. So I play by myself with the 198 00:07:36,433 --> 00:07:38,466 survivor. That's fair enough. 199 00:07:38,933 --> 00:07:41,066 And I think Gardner had some 200 00:07:41,066 --> 00:07:43,066 interesting stories to tell us. He was a 201 00:07:43,066 --> 00:07:44,766 summer special last week. 202 00:07:45,633 --> 00:07:47,066 Yeah, I was in Berlin, Germany 203 00:07:47,833 --> 00:07:49,666 last week. That's why I wasn't on the 204 00:07:49,666 --> 00:07:53,399 podcast. And that was quite 205 00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:56,733 fun. Damn. Tell us about it, 206 00:07:56,733 --> 00:07:59,366 man. What were you doing there? I was 207 00:07:59,366 --> 00:08:03,533 doing a tour of Europe, checking out fast 208 00:08:03,533 --> 00:08:04,466 food restaurants and 209 00:08:04,466 --> 00:08:06,066 how they differ from the United States. 210 00:08:06,466 --> 00:08:07,833 Just kidding. I was actually 211 00:08:07,833 --> 00:08:09,066 at the next cloud conference. 212 00:08:09,133 --> 00:08:14,933 No, dude, the next cloud conference was 213 00:08:14,933 --> 00:08:19,766 sick, man. Here, I'll show a little 214 00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:20,866 slideshow presentation. 215 00:08:22,866 --> 00:08:25,100 So this was my press badge. I was a 216 00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:27,300 member of the press. Yeah. 217 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,666 Really, really fun. Yeah, 218 00:08:30,666 --> 00:08:32,033 which is weird to me because I don't 219 00:08:32,033 --> 00:08:34,466 think of myself as a press guy. But- 220 00:08:34,466 --> 00:08:38,299 I mean, I think we all qualify as quote 221 00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:40,100 unquote press, even if we're not like 222 00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:41,600 with a press outlet. 223 00:08:42,066 --> 00:08:43,933 Gardner Bryant counts as a press outlet, 224 00:08:43,933 --> 00:08:46,166 I guess. But this was me after my 225 00:08:46,166 --> 00:08:47,200 interview with Frank, 226 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,466 the CEO of Next Cloud, which was really 227 00:08:50,466 --> 00:08:52,866 cool. And that's Tech Lord. 228 00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:54,366 You guys know Tech Lord, Henry? 229 00:08:55,866 --> 00:08:58,466 Tech Lord or Tech Lord? Lore, L-O-R-E. 230 00:08:59,166 --> 00:09:00,700 Oh, that would have not something 231 00:09:00,733 --> 00:09:04,799 feels named Tech Lord. Tech Lord. But no, 232 00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:05,666 I don't know who he is. 233 00:09:06,166 --> 00:09:07,533 Yeah. So I met Tech Lord. 234 00:09:07,899 --> 00:09:12,600 He does privacy stuff on YouTube and on 235 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,866 PeerTube, and we actually 236 00:09:13,866 --> 00:09:15,066 have our instances peered, 237 00:09:15,066 --> 00:09:17,866 which is nice. And then also I met 238 00:09:17,866 --> 00:09:19,933 Brandon Hopkins from Tech 239 00:09:19,933 --> 00:09:21,933 Hut, which was he's a really 240 00:09:21,933 --> 00:09:23,433 cool dude. I bet we could get them on the 241 00:09:23,433 --> 00:09:27,633 podcast at some point. Oh, I 242 00:09:27,633 --> 00:09:28,466 thought that guy on the side 243 00:09:28,466 --> 00:09:32,133 was Linux Torvalds. Kind of looked like, 244 00:09:32,366 --> 00:09:33,466 yeah, he kind of looks like 245 00:09:33,466 --> 00:09:34,733 Linus a little bit. That's 246 00:09:34,733 --> 00:09:37,166 Chris. That was Chris Duff. He's my 247 00:09:37,166 --> 00:09:41,366 contact there at Next Cloud. Yeah, it was 248 00:09:41,366 --> 00:09:42,566 great. I made a video, 249 00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:46,066 like a vlog about it on my channel. It's 250 00:09:46,066 --> 00:09:48,100 on PeerTube as well. I did 251 00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:49,233 an interview. It was like 252 00:09:49,233 --> 00:09:52,466 like an eight minute video with Frank 253 00:09:52,466 --> 00:09:55,666 from Next Cloud. And I had a lot of fun. 254 00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:59,466 It was very, very rewarding. I got to 255 00:09:59,466 --> 00:10:01,366 meet cool people. That 256 00:10:01,366 --> 00:10:02,399 is very nice. Do they make 257 00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:05,233 any major announcements or? They dropped 258 00:10:05,233 --> 00:10:08,233 Next Cloud 25, Autumn 259 00:10:08,233 --> 00:10:10,133 Edition. They do like three, 260 00:10:10,133 --> 00:10:12,133 I think they do three major releases a 261 00:10:12,133 --> 00:10:14,866 year. Or maybe they do 262 00:10:14,866 --> 00:10:16,466 three releases a year and one of 263 00:10:16,466 --> 00:10:18,133 them's major. I think this was the major 264 00:10:18,133 --> 00:10:21,166 update. It had some cool new features. 265 00:10:21,533 --> 00:10:24,266 Like if I understand 266 00:10:24,466 --> 00:10:28,500 correctly, I believe they have some AI 267 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,066 optimization stuff. So Next Cloud 268 00:10:31,066 --> 00:10:33,133 actually supports local and 269 00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:36,666 remote AI stuff that you can integrate 270 00:10:36,666 --> 00:10:39,766 like a deep seek or some 271 00:10:39,766 --> 00:10:41,933 kind of image categorization 272 00:10:42,466 --> 00:10:46,566 thing. And you can actually get a similar 273 00:10:46,566 --> 00:10:48,966 experience to Google Photos where it will 274 00:10:49,133 --> 00:10:51,566 scan all your photos and label people, 275 00:10:51,966 --> 00:10:53,433 like familiar faces or 276 00:10:53,433 --> 00:10:55,366 objects or whatever. You can 277 00:10:55,366 --> 00:10:57,133 do that with Next Cloud now, which is 278 00:10:57,133 --> 00:11:01,133 really sick. Next Cloud Talk is also like 279 00:11:01,133 --> 00:11:03,833 this Microsoft Teams 280 00:11:03,833 --> 00:11:07,100 Mattermost situation. And it's like a 281 00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:08,433 drop in replacement in a 282 00:11:08,433 --> 00:11:10,633 lot of ways for Slack and that 283 00:11:10,633 --> 00:11:12,733 kind of shit. And that got some big 284 00:11:12,733 --> 00:11:16,766 updates. And there were like, they had 285 00:11:16,766 --> 00:11:18,466 400 people sign up for 286 00:11:18,566 --> 00:11:22,133 the event to go to the event. And they 287 00:11:22,133 --> 00:11:25,266 had numbers differed, but 288 00:11:25,266 --> 00:11:26,766 they had about 330 people 289 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:28,833 actually show up. And then a bunch of 290 00:11:28,833 --> 00:11:31,333 people just were passing by 291 00:11:31,333 --> 00:11:33,733 the venue, saw Next Cloud and 292 00:11:33,733 --> 00:11:35,000 were like, "Hey, that's cool. I'm going 293 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,033 to go check that out." So 294 00:11:36,033 --> 00:11:37,200 there were people coming in 295 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,733 off the streets to like hang out with the 296 00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:41,366 Next Cloud group. It's 297 00:11:41,366 --> 00:11:42,100 pretty sad. That's cool. 298 00:11:42,333 --> 00:11:46,600 That is pretty cool. Now, aside from Next 299 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,600 Cloud, did you go 300 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,466 anywhere else in Germany? 301 00:11:48,933 --> 00:11:51,266 Did you have some local German food? Did 302 00:11:51,266 --> 00:11:53,066 you go to Octoberfest? 303 00:11:53,866 --> 00:11:57,066 I had a beer. Okay. I'm a type one 304 00:11:57,066 --> 00:11:59,033 diabetic. So I had a beer and that was a 305 00:11:59,033 --> 00:12:00,299 huge mistake because 306 00:12:00,466 --> 00:12:03,133 like it made my blood sugar go very low, 307 00:12:03,133 --> 00:12:05,233 very quickly. And it was 308 00:12:05,233 --> 00:12:06,133 unpredictable for the next 309 00:12:06,166 --> 00:12:10,633 two days. So that was cool. But I had a 310 00:12:10,633 --> 00:12:11,733 beer and it was delicious. 311 00:12:12,033 --> 00:12:13,200 Like I love beer and I wish I 312 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,766 could drink it more often. And then so 313 00:12:16,766 --> 00:12:18,433 not too much Oktoberfest 314 00:12:18,433 --> 00:12:21,166 thing, but I did have two 315 00:12:22,066 --> 00:12:24,933 authentic German dishes. One was called 316 00:12:24,933 --> 00:12:28,200 Rinner-Roulada or something like that. 317 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:28,633 All that. 318 00:12:29,533 --> 00:12:34,133 Imagine a cinnamon roll, but replace the 319 00:12:34,133 --> 00:12:38,933 cinnamon with mushrooms and 320 00:12:38,933 --> 00:12:40,633 then replace the roll with 321 00:12:41,666 --> 00:12:44,633 beef. Oh yeah. Wait, what? 322 00:12:45,366 --> 00:12:46,633 That's a weird way to put it. 323 00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:48,166 Well, I mean, I don't know how to 324 00:12:48,166 --> 00:12:49,000 pronounce it. Like, I 325 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,333 mean, literally it's like, 326 00:12:50,666 --> 00:12:53,133 it was like shaved steak kind of. And it 327 00:12:53,133 --> 00:12:55,833 was like mushrooms in 328 00:12:55,833 --> 00:12:57,100 it and it was rolled up. 329 00:12:57,233 --> 00:13:00,000 It's like, oh, yeah. And it was I mean, 330 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,533 dude, it was like this big around 331 00:13:02,066 --> 00:13:04,466 and then it had like it came with like 332 00:13:04,466 --> 00:13:07,899 potato truffles and red 333 00:13:07,899 --> 00:13:11,366 cabbage, like gravy. It was so 334 00:13:11,366 --> 00:13:14,766 delicious. And then I don't remember what 335 00:13:14,766 --> 00:13:15,566 the other one was, but 336 00:13:15,566 --> 00:13:16,733 it was another beef dish. 337 00:13:16,966 --> 00:13:20,299 Oh, it was beef. Yeah, it was good. I 338 00:13:20,299 --> 00:13:21,666 didn't have schnitzel 339 00:13:21,666 --> 00:13:23,133 because there's a lot of carbs 340 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,666 and schnitzel. So did you have any donor 341 00:13:25,666 --> 00:13:29,133 kabobs? Dude, OK, I was 342 00:13:29,133 --> 00:13:30,799 recommended to go to like one of 343 00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:33,600 the Turkish kabob places that was right 344 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,233 there. And I didn't have a 345 00:13:35,233 --> 00:13:37,233 chance to because I actually 346 00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:39,633 moved my flight back. I was going to be 347 00:13:39,633 --> 00:13:40,933 there for an extra three 348 00:13:40,933 --> 00:13:42,333 days after the conference. 349 00:13:43,033 --> 00:13:45,966 And I had a client emergency that I had 350 00:13:45,966 --> 00:13:47,766 to come home for, which. 351 00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:52,466 Oh, damn. Yeah, that was annoying. But I 352 00:13:52,466 --> 00:13:53,166 hate when I hate when 353 00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:54,366 that happens to me. And I was 354 00:13:54,366 --> 00:13:56,200 you know, I was in Japan, I was trying to 355 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,799 go to that famous Omurice place. Kichiki, 356 00:14:00,233 --> 00:14:02,700 the one that's on the one with the guy 357 00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,100 that's on YouTube. I'm sure you've I 358 00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:04,766 think you've seen it, 359 00:14:04,766 --> 00:14:09,433 right? Sounds familiar. But like he's the 360 00:14:09,433 --> 00:14:10,566 guy that's super excited. 361 00:14:10,566 --> 00:14:11,666 He makes like the perfect 362 00:14:11,666 --> 00:14:14,733 Omurice. And I never got to go when I was 363 00:14:14,733 --> 00:14:15,500 in Kyoto. I was only 364 00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:16,366 in Kyoto for a few days. 365 00:14:16,966 --> 00:14:20,533 Yeah. I still haven't told you everything 366 00:14:20,533 --> 00:14:21,566 about the Japan trip. 367 00:14:23,166 --> 00:14:26,233 Yeah, because like it's like it feels 368 00:14:26,233 --> 00:14:27,133 like almost like a haze 369 00:14:27,133 --> 00:14:28,166 now, but I have to like 370 00:14:28,166 --> 00:14:30,933 I have to recollect a lot of things to. 371 00:14:31,966 --> 00:14:34,299 Yeah, the worst thing about 372 00:14:34,299 --> 00:14:35,733 the client thing is like if 373 00:14:35,733 --> 00:14:39,566 there had been any one technical like on 374 00:14:39,566 --> 00:14:40,366 their team, I could have 375 00:14:40,366 --> 00:14:41,433 like described how to do it 376 00:14:41,433 --> 00:14:44,566 over the phone. But like, well, nobody on 377 00:14:44,566 --> 00:14:45,333 their team would have 378 00:14:45,333 --> 00:14:46,766 been able to to follow my 379 00:14:46,766 --> 00:14:49,266 instructions. So I was like, I have to go 380 00:14:49,266 --> 00:14:51,299 back for this man. If 381 00:14:51,299 --> 00:14:52,133 I was on their team, 382 00:14:52,133 --> 00:14:53,566 I probably could have followed it maybe. 383 00:14:53,933 --> 00:14:55,000 Oh, yeah, dude, it was 384 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,066 really simple. It was just like, 385 00:14:57,799 --> 00:15:01,133 unplug this thing and then like run 386 00:15:01,133 --> 00:15:02,366 another cable and plug this 387 00:15:02,366 --> 00:15:04,566 in. I well, when I was there, 388 00:15:05,233 --> 00:15:06,733 when I was in Germany and I was talking 389 00:15:06,733 --> 00:15:08,266 to them, they were like, 390 00:15:08,266 --> 00:15:09,833 yeah, we can't access the internet 391 00:15:09,933 --> 00:15:12,466 on the point of sale machines. And so I 392 00:15:12,466 --> 00:15:13,566 had no idea what was wrong 393 00:15:13,566 --> 00:15:17,766 and some like long story short, 394 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:19,700 I didn't know what the hell the problem 395 00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:20,600 was. And I thought it 396 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,866 was something like way more 397 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,799 problematic. And then I got there and I 398 00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:26,633 had to just move some 399 00:15:26,633 --> 00:15:27,899 cables around. I was like, 400 00:15:27,899 --> 00:15:29,933 are you kidding me, dude? I hate when 401 00:15:29,933 --> 00:15:31,933 clients do that shit. 402 00:15:32,533 --> 00:15:33,833 Yeah, it sounds like a lot 403 00:15:33,833 --> 00:15:35,266 of fun. I wish.

So you 415 00:15:58,866 --> 00:15:59,633 can just take a train. 416 00:16:00,166 --> 00:16:02,033 Yeah. Go pick up your 417 00:16:02,033 --> 00:16:03,566 early package and head back. 418 00:16:04,566 --> 00:16:07,299 Exactly. Got to move off the console, 419 00:16:07,299 --> 00:16:10,966 man. Right. Well, so guys, we got some 420 00:16:10,966 --> 00:16:11,799 major stories we got 421 00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:14,566 to jump into. The first one here is 422 00:16:14,566 --> 00:16:17,033 Electronic Arts is being 423 00:16:17,033 --> 00:16:21,266 acquired by the Saudi government 424 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,399 and by some private investors in the US, 425 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,766 which is in no way problematic, right? 426 00:16:29,533 --> 00:16:30,833 EA Sports is in the 427 00:16:30,833 --> 00:16:31,733 private investment firm. 428 00:16:31,766 --> 00:16:36,233 Yeah, it's normally I wouldn't be against 429 00:16:36,233 --> 00:16:39,666 like, I, it's annoying to 430 00:16:39,666 --> 00:16:41,233 have companies be on the 431 00:16:41,233 --> 00:16:42,933 stock market because then they're that 432 00:16:42,933 --> 00:16:43,866 need to adhere to like 433 00:16:43,866 --> 00:16:45,966 making short term gains. And it 434 00:16:45,966 --> 00:16:47,899 really is like ruins a lot of companies 435 00:16:47,899 --> 00:16:48,866 like Blizzard and stuff. 436 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,933 But also having it privately 437 00:16:51,033 --> 00:16:56,533 owned by these major firms is just as 438 00:16:56,533 --> 00:16:58,666 problematic because they'll squeeze it 439 00:16:58,666 --> 00:17:00,533 for whatever reason. 440 00:17:00,566 --> 00:17:02,166 They'll try to influence how things are 441 00:17:02,166 --> 00:17:04,799 made. They'll yeah. And 442 00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:07,133 Saudi Arabia has a goal 443 00:17:07,766 --> 00:17:09,433 in mind for a lot of this stuff. And then 444 00:17:09,433 --> 00:17:11,166 on top of that, Jared 445 00:17:11,166 --> 00:17:13,233 Kushner being a part of this is. 446 00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:17,566 Another issue on. Yeah. 447 00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:18,466 Man, there's going to be another 448 00:17:18,466 --> 00:17:20,033 political episode, isn't it? 449 00:17:20,866 --> 00:17:22,133 Right out the gate, too. 450 00:17:23,066 --> 00:17:25,433 The biggest news. Yeah, it's the biggest. 451 00:17:25,433 --> 00:17:26,700 It is political. Yeah. 452 00:17:26,733 --> 00:17:28,633 When you have a country that has a 453 00:17:28,633 --> 00:17:30,599 private firm like Saudi 454 00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:31,733 Arabia, because they have multiple 455 00:17:31,766 --> 00:17:33,466 private firms and they acquire a lot 456 00:17:33,466 --> 00:17:33,933 because they have a lot 457 00:17:33,933 --> 00:17:34,633 of oil money and they're 458 00:17:34,633 --> 00:17:36,766 diversing, which is actually not a bad 459 00:17:36,766 --> 00:17:37,933 play. It's just Saudi 460 00:17:37,933 --> 00:17:39,866 Arabia. It's not to say anything 461 00:17:39,866 --> 00:17:41,333 bad about people that live there. It's 462 00:17:41,333 --> 00:17:43,433 just, you know, yeah, I 463 00:17:43,433 --> 00:17:44,599 say crap about the US. 464 00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:45,633 I say crap about other 465 00:17:45,633 --> 00:17:47,533 countries. It's just problematic. 466 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:49,833 Yeah. Yeah. 467 00:17:49,833 --> 00:17:51,333 I would want the US to own EA. 468 00:17:52,333 --> 00:17:55,733 So. No. So there is a game. There is a 469 00:17:55,733 --> 00:17:57,066 game company that Saudi 470 00:17:57,066 --> 00:17:58,666 Arabia basically owns now 471 00:17:58,666 --> 00:18:00,666 that used to be a pretty big arcade 472 00:18:00,666 --> 00:18:02,233 developer in Japan called S 473 00:18:02,233 --> 00:18:05,533 and K. They made Fatal Fury, 474 00:18:05,533 --> 00:18:09,633 King of Fighters, Metal Slug. Yeah. And 475 00:18:09,633 --> 00:18:10,533 it seems like they're 476 00:18:10,533 --> 00:18:11,533 doing pretty well now. 477 00:18:12,266 --> 00:18:13,933 I don't think there's any so far. I 478 00:18:13,933 --> 00:18:16,333 haven't seen any effects of the games 479 00:18:16,333 --> 00:18:16,933 that would make it seem 480 00:18:17,033 --> 00:18:19,633 like their Saudi influence 481 00:18:19,633 --> 00:18:23,266 perhaps, but. Give it time. Yeah. 482 00:18:23,933 --> 00:18:25,666 What they're doing is they're acquiring 483 00:18:25,666 --> 00:18:27,433 things to help diversify 484 00:18:27,433 --> 00:18:29,633 their portfolio and then they're 485 00:18:29,633 --> 00:18:31,533 trying to bring it to them. So they have 486 00:18:31,533 --> 00:18:32,666 a lot of events coming to 487 00:18:32,666 --> 00:18:35,500 Saudi Arabia. So there's a lot of 488 00:18:35,833 --> 00:18:37,599 trying to wash things in so they can be a 489 00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:40,933 part of it and just give it 490 00:18:40,933 --> 00:18:42,333 time. It will eventually show 491 00:18:42,433 --> 00:18:46,633 it's ugly head, I think. But the the 492 00:18:46,633 --> 00:18:49,266 problem with going there is that they 493 00:18:49,266 --> 00:18:50,266 don't have very good 494 00:18:52,466 --> 00:18:54,566 rights for human for certain humans. And 495 00:18:54,566 --> 00:18:56,333 so. Yeah. Yeah. Like the 496 00:18:56,333 --> 00:18:59,266 thing is with with the Saudis, 497 00:18:59,266 --> 00:19:03,566 like the effect of them owning the these 498 00:19:03,566 --> 00:19:07,233 media conglomerates is 499 00:19:07,233 --> 00:19:09,333 silent. Right. Like that's the 500 00:19:09,366 --> 00:19:12,233 effect. Like you they command and conquer 501 00:19:12,233 --> 00:19:13,766 has always been a bit 502 00:19:13,766 --> 00:19:15,433 tongue in cheek, but it's also 503 00:19:15,433 --> 00:19:19,933 been a little politically incorrect. 504 00:19:20,366 --> 00:19:22,166 Right. If there's ever a 505 00:19:22,166 --> 00:19:23,366 new command and conquer game, 506 00:19:24,166 --> 00:19:25,733 you can bet that like there won't be 507 00:19:25,733 --> 00:19:27,766 anything critical at all 508 00:19:27,766 --> 00:19:30,066 about, you know, and I mean, 509 00:19:30,066 --> 00:19:31,666 command and conquer is like a joke. 510 00:19:31,666 --> 00:19:32,766 Right. Like the story is 511 00:19:32,766 --> 00:19:35,033 foolish. But you take my meaning. 512 00:19:35,533 --> 00:19:37,433 You know, you have like comedians going 513 00:19:37,433 --> 00:19:40,366 over to the reality comedy 514 00:19:40,366 --> 00:19:42,666 festival. And and these are 515 00:19:42,666 --> 00:19:44,233 like and some of these comedians are like 516 00:19:44,233 --> 00:19:46,833 comedians I respected, but they're not 517 00:19:46,833 --> 00:19:47,799 allowed to criticize 518 00:19:48,733 --> 00:19:52,299 the Saudi government or any religion or 519 00:19:52,299 --> 00:19:53,799 anything like that. And it's like, dude, 520 00:19:55,033 --> 00:19:56,599 put a muzzle on your favorite comedian 521 00:19:56,599 --> 00:19:57,766 and what are they? They're nothing. 522 00:19:58,333 --> 00:20:00,466 It's the same thing here with with these 523 00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:03,033 games. It's very much 524 00:20:03,033 --> 00:20:05,633 they they will see it come to 525 00:20:05,633 --> 00:20:07,500 fruition, I think sooner or later, I will 526 00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:09,733 have to say. And this is bad 527 00:20:09,733 --> 00:20:11,766 on me, but there is one thing 528 00:20:11,766 --> 00:20:13,533 that they could do that make me like 529 00:20:13,533 --> 00:20:16,533 sanctify this relationship 530 00:20:16,533 --> 00:20:17,833 or what others this purchase. 531 00:20:17,833 --> 00:20:19,833 And that's really dead space to remake. 532 00:20:20,133 --> 00:20:22,466 Yeah. But that's just me 533 00:20:22,466 --> 00:20:23,833 being human, I guess. But at the 534 00:20:23,833 --> 00:20:25,333 end of the day, I still don't approve of 535 00:20:25,333 --> 00:20:27,733 it. But if you're going to 536 00:20:27,733 --> 00:20:29,066 do something bad like this, 537 00:20:29,066 --> 00:20:31,233 might as well I'll ask something. Give us 538 00:20:31,233 --> 00:20:32,333 dead space to maybe the 539 00:20:32,333 --> 00:20:33,500 Saudi prince really wants dead 540 00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:35,133 space to and three.

But or Jared Kushner. 582 00:22:18,033 --> 00:22:19,966 You know, you know, the one thing that 583 00:22:19,966 --> 00:22:22,266 really yeah, I didn't make 584 00:22:22,266 --> 00:22:23,733 the connection until they said 585 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,333 until everyone started making a deal 586 00:22:25,333 --> 00:22:27,033 about it being Jared Kushner's company. 587 00:22:28,066 --> 00:22:30,166 That's the one that's more interesting or 588 00:22:30,166 --> 00:22:32,766 more has potentially more 589 00:22:32,766 --> 00:22:35,033 negative. What's the word 590 00:22:35,033 --> 00:22:37,233 I'm looking for implications, so to 591 00:22:37,233 --> 00:22:41,000 speak? Because of those for 592 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,866 those who don't know, Jared 593 00:22:41,866 --> 00:22:44,866 Kushner is the son-in-law of El 594 00:22:44,866 --> 00:22:47,933 Presidente, current sitting El 595 00:22:47,933 --> 00:22:51,866 Presidente. So there is no question 596 00:22:51,866 --> 00:22:53,700 about it that I'm sure he's going to try 597 00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:55,433 to make. The big question is 598 00:22:55,433 --> 00:22:56,533 what is he going to do? Is he 599 00:22:56,533 --> 00:22:57,666 I wonder if he's going to make 600 00:22:57,666 --> 00:23:01,866 Battlefield 7 like US propaganda is going 601 00:23:01,866 --> 00:23:02,633 to make he's going to make 602 00:23:02,666 --> 00:23:04,833 it a less shitty version of America's 603 00:23:04,833 --> 00:23:06,666 army. Well, he's not in the 604 00:23:06,666 --> 00:23:09,166 administration this time, is he? 605 00:23:09,433 --> 00:23:12,666 Do not. Yeah, I don't. I don't think he 606 00:23:12,666 --> 00:23:15,033 is. But he gets a lot of deals 607 00:23:15,033 --> 00:23:16,466 like what they say about said 608 00:23:16,466 --> 00:23:19,566 about Hunter Biden, which some of them, 609 00:23:19,566 --> 00:23:22,533 you know, probably true. Not going to 610 00:23:22,533 --> 00:23:24,233 defend the dude. But 611 00:23:25,599 --> 00:23:27,066 Jared Kushner is just that's what he's 612 00:23:27,066 --> 00:23:29,433 doing. He just uses names 613 00:23:29,433 --> 00:23:30,766 and all that to get his deals 614 00:23:30,833 --> 00:23:32,200 through. I mean, at this point, we can 615 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,366 tell that Trump doesn't 616 00:23:33,366 --> 00:23:36,966 care. He has a lot of investments 617 00:23:37,366 --> 00:23:41,666 that are just out in the open. Right. So 618 00:23:41,666 --> 00:23:44,466 the big question is whether or not 619 00:23:45,133 --> 00:23:46,833 affinity partners is going to just 620 00:23:46,833 --> 00:23:48,833 squeeze EA or if they're going 621 00:23:48,833 --> 00:23:50,666 to turn EA to something else, 622 00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:55,366 so to speak. That's my big concern. This 623 00:23:55,366 --> 00:23:56,200 only just happened a few 624 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:56,866 days ago. So of course, 625 00:23:56,900 --> 00:24:00,366 we don't know for certain. I think this 626 00:24:00,366 --> 00:24:02,433 would have serious red flags even if 627 00:24:03,433 --> 00:24:04,233 the other political 628 00:24:04,233 --> 00:24:07,000 party ODA. Agreed. Yeah. 629 00:24:08,166 --> 00:24:11,933 I don't like you using your political 630 00:24:11,933 --> 00:24:18,133 influence to both like buy and affect 631 00:24:19,266 --> 00:24:21,266 the media like this. Like it needs to be 632 00:24:21,266 --> 00:24:22,700 a little bit less tied to 633 00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:23,633 politics, in my opinion. 634 00:24:23,933 --> 00:24:25,533 Yeah. I mean, I have the same problem 635 00:24:25,533 --> 00:24:27,133 with this that I have with 636 00:24:27,133 --> 00:24:30,033 Oracle taking over TikTok. Like 637 00:24:30,033 --> 00:24:33,333 I have the exact same issue. The only 638 00:24:33,333 --> 00:24:36,500 difference is Larry Ellison's like 639 00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:38,966 private interests and 640 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,466 Oracle has private interests where the 641 00:24:42,466 --> 00:24:46,433 Saudis and even Jared Kushner have like 642 00:24:48,166 --> 00:24:51,133 possibly more nefarious ambitions. So 643 00:24:51,133 --> 00:24:52,299 that's really the only difference. 644 00:24:52,666 --> 00:24:56,166 It's not like EA is doing well. So I'm 645 00:24:56,166 --> 00:24:57,099 really like there's not 646 00:24:57,099 --> 00:24:58,333 like they're buying it because 647 00:24:58,333 --> 00:25:01,233 it's a great investment. So. Yeah. I 648 00:25:01,233 --> 00:25:02,133 mean, the big thing for 649 00:25:02,133 --> 00:25:04,033 me is like, I don't care if 650 00:25:04,633 --> 00:25:06,566 I don't care if like EA starts making 651 00:25:06,566 --> 00:25:08,766 great games. If they come 652 00:25:08,766 --> 00:25:10,700 out with like Mirror's Edge 3, 653 00:25:11,333 --> 00:25:13,266 I'm not going to play it. Like if they 654 00:25:13,266 --> 00:25:14,566 come out with Command and 655 00:25:14,566 --> 00:25:16,799 Conquer Red Alert 4, I'm not 656 00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:18,233 going to play it. I'm not going to buy 657 00:25:18,233 --> 00:25:19,266 it. I'm not going to support 658 00:25:19,266 --> 00:25:21,966 EA anymore. And that's been my 659 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,366 policy for a while. And I did make an 660 00:25:24,366 --> 00:25:27,366 exception to buy the Command 661 00:25:27,366 --> 00:25:28,299 and Conquer games that launched 662 00:25:28,299 --> 00:25:33,366 on Steam recently. But like, that's it. 663 00:25:33,366 --> 00:25:37,599 Like I'm not going to support this. I 664 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:38,733 don't believe in it. 665 00:25:40,333 --> 00:25:44,866 I have a very moral issue if it's Dead 666 00:25:44,866 --> 00:25:46,700 Space. But you know what? I'm lucky 667 00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:47,500 enough to where they 668 00:25:47,533 --> 00:25:49,766 won't release Dead Space 2 or 3. So. 669 00:25:49,766 --> 00:25:53,266 Yeah. So here's another 670 00:25:53,266 --> 00:25:54,433 thing too about this deal. 671 00:25:55,166 --> 00:25:58,066 It's a leveraged buyout, which means EA 672 00:25:58,066 --> 00:26:01,733 owns $20 billion to the 673 00:26:01,733 --> 00:26:05,433 banks. So I mean, that's like a 674 00:26:05,433 --> 00:26:08,466 third of the, that's a little over a 675 00:26:08,466 --> 00:26:10,099 third of the amount that, you know, the 676 00:26:10,099 --> 00:26:11,566 Saudis and Jared Kushner 677 00:26:11,666 --> 00:26:14,966 paid for it. The big question now is what 678 00:26:14,966 --> 00:26:16,500 will they do now to pay 679 00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:18,900 that off? Word has it, they 680 00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:22,200 might be trying to leverage AI more and 681 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,366 laying off more people. But the big 682 00:26:25,366 --> 00:26:26,233 question is, does it 683 00:26:26,233 --> 00:26:29,200 spell the end of EA? Are we witnessing 684 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,900 the death of EA as we speak? Quite 685 00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:34,433 possible. No. The average 686 00:26:34,433 --> 00:26:36,233 person's not going to care. They're not 687 00:26:36,233 --> 00:26:38,099 going to realize what's going on. They 688 00:26:38,099 --> 00:26:38,700 just don't have time 689 00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:41,433 to. Well, dude, I mean, EA's not doing 690 00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:43,366 well right now anyway. No, they're not. 691 00:26:43,766 --> 00:26:44,733 But there is still a 692 00:26:44,733 --> 00:26:46,000 chance, like going private to like this 693 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,099 and all that, like there is 694 00:26:47,099 --> 00:26:49,000 actually a better chance of 695 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,900 this, of them succeeding now than doing 696 00:26:51,900 --> 00:26:53,400 short term gains like they 697 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,733 were doing with being owned on 698 00:26:54,733 --> 00:26:58,433 the stock market or by, you know, being 699 00:26:58,433 --> 00:27:00,933 on stock market. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we 700 00:27:00,933 --> 00:27:01,500 don't know if they're 701 00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:03,066 still going to try to go for short term 702 00:27:03,066 --> 00:27:04,766 gains. I mean, going private doesn't 703 00:27:04,766 --> 00:27:05,533 necessarily guarantee 704 00:27:05,866 --> 00:27:08,133 that they'll just turn things around. No, 705 00:27:08,133 --> 00:27:09,400 but Saudi Arabia owns 706 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,666 this stuff for a long term, 707 00:27:10,966 --> 00:27:12,833 in my opinion, they diversify because 708 00:27:12,833 --> 00:27:14,366 they know that oil will dry up 709 00:27:14,366 --> 00:27:15,233 eventually. I've read a couple 710 00:27:15,233 --> 00:27:17,666 of articles on this already that they 711 00:27:17,666 --> 00:27:20,466 really are trying to diversify because 712 00:27:20,466 --> 00:27:22,333 they know oil is not 713 00:27:22,333 --> 00:27:23,666 going to be around. So this is just one 714 00:27:23,666 --> 00:27:24,933 of those things. And I have 715 00:27:24,933 --> 00:27:26,866 a feeling because they don't 716 00:27:26,866 --> 00:27:28,400 need for money, they don't want for money 717 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,733 right now. They're fine 718 00:27:29,733 --> 00:27:31,500 with long term, like getting it 719 00:27:31,533 --> 00:27:34,233 back into a better state. I could see 720 00:27:34,233 --> 00:27:35,466 that Jared Kushner on the 721 00:27:35,466 --> 00:27:36,566 other end. I don't know, like 722 00:27:36,566 --> 00:27:40,133 anything him or the Trump family touches 723 00:27:40,133 --> 00:27:42,900 is almost always kind of a 724 00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:45,566 scam run. And so it will be 725 00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:47,833 interesting because like right now, the 726 00:27:47,833 --> 00:27:49,200 like upcoming games that EA 727 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,166 is coming out with is like 728 00:27:50,166 --> 00:27:52,666 battle filled six, which is actually 729 00:27:52,666 --> 00:27:55,466 looking okay. Plants versus zombies 730 00:27:55,466 --> 00:27:57,566 replanted, which is interesting. 731 00:27:58,566 --> 00:28:00,433 And then Star Wars Zero Company. Those 732 00:28:00,433 --> 00:28:01,533 are the three that I see on 733 00:28:01,533 --> 00:28:02,900 Steam that they're coming out 734 00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:04,933 with. And so are they still doing like 735 00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:06,933 football, soccer games? 736 00:28:07,666 --> 00:28:10,033 Yes, they still do, Matt. And I 737 00:28:10,033 --> 00:28:13,733 think they lost. They lost the FIFA 738 00:28:13,733 --> 00:28:15,966 license. They lost the FIFA one. Yeah, 739 00:28:15,966 --> 00:28:17,033 that's probably one of 740 00:28:17,033 --> 00:28:18,933 the biggest blows to EA because like, 741 00:28:18,933 --> 00:28:20,966 yeah, people buy FIFA games. They don't 742 00:28:20,966 --> 00:28:23,166 buy fucking FC games. 743 00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:25,133 Yeah. Yeah. Look, it would be awesome if 744 00:28:25,133 --> 00:28:26,433 you people buy it because it 745 00:28:26,433 --> 00:28:27,500 said FIFA on it. Now it doesn't 746 00:28:27,533 --> 00:28:30,466 say FIFA. Yeah, no one's buying it. This 747 00:28:30,466 --> 00:28:31,500 is a hard one. Split 748 00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:34,799 Fiction is published by EA and 749 00:28:35,666 --> 00:28:37,799 Hayes Light Studios. I actually really 750 00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:39,266 think they deserve to be supported 751 00:28:39,266 --> 00:28:40,500 because they do good work. 752 00:28:41,033 --> 00:28:42,866 That's hard. Yeah. Well, I mean, if they 753 00:28:42,866 --> 00:28:44,733 wanted, if they want to be supported, 754 00:28:44,733 --> 00:28:46,433 they should go with an ethical publisher. 755 00:28:47,033 --> 00:28:49,966 Well, yeah, they I don't 756 00:28:49,966 --> 00:28:51,766 know if they can do that now. 757 00:28:51,766 --> 00:28:52,866 That's a really hard. I don't know if 758 00:28:52,866 --> 00:28:53,700 they could do that now. 759 00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:54,299 They'd have to break off. 760 00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:57,033 I think I think it would have to be for 761 00:28:57,033 --> 00:28:58,366 future games. I don't 762 00:28:58,366 --> 00:29:00,333 know. I don't think they can do 763 00:29:00,333 --> 00:29:02,066 it for all. I don't think Joseph Fares 764 00:29:02,066 --> 00:29:04,166 can do it for all of his currently 765 00:29:04,166 --> 00:29:05,400 released games under EA, 766 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,666 but we shall see. No. Well, the problem 767 00:29:07,666 --> 00:29:08,766 is, is that the studio is 768 00:29:08,766 --> 00:29:10,333 most likely like heavily 769 00:29:10,333 --> 00:29:12,466 controlled by the publisher. When you get 770 00:29:12,466 --> 00:29:13,266 into these kind of deals 771 00:29:13,266 --> 00:29:14,566 with EA, you pretty much are 772 00:29:14,566 --> 00:29:16,500 owned by the publisher. So they'd have to 773 00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:17,366 break off, create a new 774 00:29:17,366 --> 00:29:18,966 company and start new IPs, 775 00:29:18,966 --> 00:29:21,033 which they it's not like they don't they 776 00:29:21,033 --> 00:29:22,433 usually do new IPs so they 777 00:29:22,433 --> 00:29:23,733 could easily do it. But yeah, 778 00:29:24,733 --> 00:29:28,700 I mean, dude, the thing is like, you 779 00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:31,200 know, in the Sims, you know, the next 780 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,099 version of the Sims, 781 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,700 will the will the Saudis like allow gay 782 00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:39,733 representation, lesbian representation? 783 00:29:40,633 --> 00:29:41,966 Like, that's really like what this is 784 00:29:41,966 --> 00:29:42,933 coming down to. For me, 785 00:29:42,933 --> 00:29:45,666 it's like, there's going to be 786 00:29:47,666 --> 00:29:51,333 quiet controls and things are just going 787 00:29:51,333 --> 00:29:53,033 to disappear. Things 788 00:29:53,033 --> 00:29:54,299 that we take for granted. 789 00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:58,233 And and it won't be like overt political 790 00:29:58,233 --> 00:29:59,833 messaging either. It will be like 791 00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:02,333 just little things that just start 792 00:30:02,333 --> 00:30:03,933 disappearing. And you don't 793 00:30:03,933 --> 00:30:05,400 notice. Yeah, they'll they'll be 794 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,633 about. And I agree. I think the least 795 00:30:07,633 --> 00:30:08,666 sneaky thing is I bet you 796 00:30:08,666 --> 00:30:09,666 there's going to be a Trump 797 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,666 DLC for Sims Lord of Mercy. I'm not going 798 00:30:14,666 --> 00:30:15,566 to lie. It's going to be 799 00:30:15,566 --> 00:30:17,366 probably like not supposed to be 800 00:30:17,366 --> 00:30:21,099 tongue in cheek, but I don't know, man. I 801 00:30:21,099 --> 00:30:21,933 mean, that doesn't matter 802 00:30:21,933 --> 00:30:22,833 as long as Trump gets paid, 803 00:30:22,866 --> 00:30:25,933 right? But here's the thing. True. Here's 804 00:30:25,933 --> 00:30:26,733 the other thing, too. 805 00:30:31,366 --> 00:30:34,166 EA, I don't know. I mean, I don't know 806 00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:35,033 what to make of this whole 807 00:30:35,033 --> 00:30:36,833 situation. EA is being bought 808 00:30:36,833 --> 00:30:38,700 by Saudi raid. That's something that I 809 00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:39,566 thought I would have ever 810 00:30:39,566 --> 00:30:42,700 seen. But it's clear that 811 00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:45,633 the Saudi government, like first and 812 00:30:45,633 --> 00:30:46,433 foremost, I'm surprised 813 00:30:46,433 --> 00:30:48,333 Saudi even the Saudis even let 814 00:30:48,566 --> 00:30:51,566 Jared Kushner buy a portion of EA because 815 00:30:51,566 --> 00:30:53,066 it's not like they own 100 percent of it. 816 00:30:53,066 --> 00:30:54,233 I don't even know what percent of it they 817 00:30:54,233 --> 00:30:54,933 actually. I don't 818 00:30:54,933 --> 00:30:56,033 know if it's split evenly 819 00:30:56,733 --> 00:30:59,200 or like it's like they are more of it or 820 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,333 Jared Kushner owns more 821 00:31:00,333 --> 00:31:01,866 of EA. So that's that. 822 00:31:03,333 --> 00:31:06,866 Jared Kushner is tight with a lot of 823 00:31:06,866 --> 00:31:09,766 these different. His firm that he manages 824 00:31:10,233 --> 00:31:11,466 is tight with a lot of these different 825 00:31:11,466 --> 00:31:12,933 countries, including Saudi Arabia. So 826 00:31:12,933 --> 00:31:13,666 this is not actually a 827 00:31:13,666 --> 00:31:17,400 surprise. And oftentimes these firms will 828 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,666 split it with others 829 00:31:18,666 --> 00:31:22,166 because for various reasons, but 830 00:31:22,466 --> 00:31:24,966 there might as well just I don't know. 831 00:31:24,966 --> 00:31:25,733 We'd have to get really 832 00:31:25,733 --> 00:31:26,900 deep into this type of stuff, 833 00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:29,033 I think, to understand it. But I'm not 834 00:31:29,033 --> 00:31:31,266 shocked. And I'm not 835 00:31:31,266 --> 00:31:33,133 shocked that EA was like, or that 836 00:31:33,133 --> 00:31:34,766 this is starting to happen. And to be 837 00:31:34,766 --> 00:31:38,633 fair, I think every major company that 838 00:31:38,633 --> 00:31:40,233 you that we know of, 839 00:31:40,266 --> 00:31:42,400 every major publisher is struggling 840 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,933 because they do short 841 00:31:43,933 --> 00:31:44,799 term gains and they're just 842 00:31:45,333 --> 00:31:49,799 fucking themselves over hard. And so EA 843 00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:51,166 being sold to now private 844 00:31:51,166 --> 00:31:52,466 expect this to happen to 845 00:31:52,466 --> 00:31:53,566 more and more companies that are 846 00:31:53,566 --> 00:31:56,733 struggling right now. Like a part of me 847 00:31:56,733 --> 00:31:58,500 is kind of glad Microsoft 848 00:31:58,633 --> 00:32:02,299 picked up Blizzard because I would much 849 00:32:02,299 --> 00:32:03,900 rather have Microsoft even 850 00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:04,666 though I'm not, you know, 851 00:32:05,033 --> 00:32:07,733 the biggest Microsoft fan at times, I'd 852 00:32:07,733 --> 00:32:08,633 rather have them owning 853 00:32:08,633 --> 00:32:10,233 it than than Saudi Arabia. 854 00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:15,733 Yeah. Also, like that 855 00:32:15,733 --> 00:32:18,966 brings us to our next story. 856 00:32:20,566 --> 00:32:21,466 Game pass. 857 00:32:22,133 --> 00:32:25,299 Game pass. I think there's a through line 858 00:32:25,299 --> 00:32:27,766 between this story and the previous one. 859 00:32:28,566 --> 00:32:29,466 What you were saying, 860 00:32:29,466 --> 00:32:30,066 James, where it's like, 861 00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:33,866 triple A games just are not don't seem to 862 00:32:33,866 --> 00:32:35,133 be profitable anymore. 863 00:32:35,466 --> 00:32:37,733 Like they require so much 864 00:32:37,733 --> 00:32:39,900 money and so much investment and so much 865 00:32:39,900 --> 00:32:42,766 time that like, you know, 866 00:32:43,333 --> 00:32:44,733 EA is going private and now 867 00:32:44,733 --> 00:32:47,466 Xbox is raising the price of game pass to 868 00:32:47,466 --> 00:32:48,799 the point where game 869 00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:50,566 pass ultimate is going to be 870 00:32:50,633 --> 00:32:53,900 basically unaffordable for all but the 871 00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:56,766 biggest whales. Right. Yeah. 872 00:32:57,433 --> 00:33:01,433 Yes and no. I this Xbox game pass 873 00:33:01,433 --> 00:33:04,833 increases a little bit of people miss 874 00:33:04,833 --> 00:33:06,233 some of the nuance in it. 875 00:33:06,566 --> 00:33:10,433 But I'm just saying like, I'm not saying 876 00:33:10,433 --> 00:33:11,400 you are or anything like 877 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,433 that, but there's a couple of 878 00:33:12,433 --> 00:33:14,333 things that people don't realize with 879 00:33:14,333 --> 00:33:15,233 this. And that's one of 880 00:33:15,233 --> 00:33:18,000 them is they are increasing the 881 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,366 amount of games that are accessible 882 00:33:19,366 --> 00:33:20,933 through this. So you're getting more 883 00:33:20,933 --> 00:33:23,500 value. But I don't know if 884 00:33:23,533 --> 00:33:25,333 it's a 50 percent increase kind of value 885 00:33:25,333 --> 00:33:26,933 and them doing it so 886 00:33:26,933 --> 00:33:31,366 close to also increasing the 887 00:33:31,366 --> 00:33:33,400 price of the Xbox systems and all that 888 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,733 kind of tell me a little 889 00:33:34,733 --> 00:33:36,466 bit of like they probably had 890 00:33:36,466 --> 00:33:38,433 a lot more wiggle room for those consoles 891 00:33:38,433 --> 00:33:39,733 with tariffs than they 892 00:33:39,733 --> 00:33:40,900 let on because this is like, 893 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,133 OK, if you did that and then increase 894 00:33:44,133 --> 00:33:46,133 this to is kind of making me 895 00:33:46,133 --> 00:33:46,900 think you're just trying to do 896 00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:49,666 a whole run the gamut on increasing 897 00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:50,766 prices across the board. 898 00:33:51,033 --> 00:33:52,766 This is not a tariff as much, 899 00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:54,933 but I still think it is partially a 900 00:33:54,933 --> 00:33:55,733 tariff thing because 901 00:33:55,733 --> 00:33:58,566 other other companies are like 902 00:33:58,566 --> 00:33:59,966 Nintendo and PlayStation are raising 903 00:33:59,966 --> 00:34:01,766 their prices, but like it 904 00:34:01,766 --> 00:34:02,866 doesn't look good for them. 905 00:34:03,266 --> 00:34:05,599 Everything rises. I do agree. It's not 906 00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:07,133 purely like price. Of 907 00:34:07,133 --> 00:34:08,266 course. Yeah. So you offer you 908 00:34:08,333 --> 00:34:10,800 more things. There are a lot of benefits 909 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,400 that game pass does 910 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,833 offer you for games that you 911 00:34:14,833 --> 00:34:16,066 probably wouldn't expect it to like for 912 00:34:16,066 --> 00:34:17,166 like, for example, League of 913 00:34:17,166 --> 00:34:19,266 Legends, you have in Valor, 914 00:34:19,266 --> 00:34:20,866 you have access to all the characters. 915 00:34:21,733 --> 00:34:24,099 But like, I don't know if 916 00:34:24,099 --> 00:34:25,366 anyone I don't know if everyone 917 00:34:25,366 --> 00:34:27,633 would want that, though, because like I 918 00:34:27,633 --> 00:34:28,733 don't see the same type of 919 00:34:28,733 --> 00:34:29,833 person that has game pass 920 00:34:29,833 --> 00:34:31,466 being the same type of person that also 921 00:34:31,466 --> 00:34:32,466 plays League every day. 922 00:34:33,133 --> 00:34:37,066 You know, well, yeah. So and 923 00:34:37,433 --> 00:34:39,633 also a fortnight to eat. They also just 924 00:34:39,633 --> 00:34:41,266 included a fortnight crew. 925 00:34:42,433 --> 00:34:43,333 I don't exactly know what 926 00:34:43,366 --> 00:34:48,433 fortnight crew gives you, but this is for 927 00:34:48,433 --> 00:34:50,800 Gen Z. It's Gen. The 928 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,233 fortnight crew is generally 929 00:34:52,233 --> 00:34:57,300 twelve dollars a month by itself. And of 930 00:34:57,300 --> 00:34:58,366 course, Ubisoft Plus is 931 00:34:58,366 --> 00:35:00,199 included now as well. Sixteen a 932 00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:02,633 month. And I think EA included included 933 00:35:02,633 --> 00:35:05,166 as well. It's just a matter 934 00:35:05,166 --> 00:35:06,366 of whether or not you want all 935 00:35:06,366 --> 00:35:09,033 of this. And personally speaking, if I 936 00:35:09,033 --> 00:35:10,866 were the average consumer, I 937 00:35:10,866 --> 00:35:11,966 would cut up every single one 938 00:35:12,033 --> 00:35:13,533 of those anticipated benefits and just 939 00:35:13,533 --> 00:35:15,333 have a lower Xbox game pass 940 00:35:15,333 --> 00:35:17,433 price. Well, they have that. 941 00:35:17,966 --> 00:35:19,533 So you can see right here, they have 942 00:35:19,533 --> 00:35:21,066 still the essential and the 943 00:35:21,066 --> 00:35:24,900 premium. But the if day one, 944 00:35:25,133 --> 00:35:26,266 because they were losing a lot of money 945 00:35:26,266 --> 00:35:27,433 on Call of Duty's releases 946 00:35:27,433 --> 00:35:28,366 in the past few years, and I 947 00:35:28,366 --> 00:35:31,366 don't think I think Microsoft kind of had 948 00:35:31,366 --> 00:35:32,266 to do this because their 949 00:35:32,266 --> 00:35:33,533 shareholders were not happy 950 00:35:33,933 --> 00:35:36,066 with they were they lost the potential. 951 00:35:36,266 --> 00:35:38,000 And this is stupid to say because 952 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,266 potential means nothing. 953 00:35:39,266 --> 00:35:42,233 They think they lost 300 million because 954 00:35:42,233 --> 00:35:43,466 last year's Call of Duty 955 00:35:43,766 --> 00:35:45,400 release didn't make as much because it 956 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,933 was tied to day one of the game pass. 957 00:35:48,266 --> 00:35:49,599 I will say this right now, though, too, 958 00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:50,966 with the game pass, this 959 00:35:50,966 --> 00:35:52,466 is a really good deal if you 960 00:35:52,733 --> 00:35:54,633 are able to beat these games pretty 961 00:35:54,633 --> 00:35:56,500 quickly. Like I have a couple of people 962 00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:57,566 in my community, they 963 00:35:57,766 --> 00:35:59,599 beat their games within a week in a 964 00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:01,533 month. And so this makes 965 00:36:01,533 --> 00:36:03,366 sense. They're getting really good 966 00:36:03,366 --> 00:36:05,266 value, even at 30 dollars, really good 967 00:36:05,266 --> 00:36:07,699 value. But for the average person, even 968 00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:08,366 for me, that this is 969 00:36:08,433 --> 00:36:10,766 starting to become I don't beat my games 970 00:36:10,766 --> 00:36:14,366 in a month. It's well, I 971 00:36:14,366 --> 00:36:15,366 was going to say, like, 972 00:36:16,366 --> 00:36:19,766 the fact is that they're adding all this 973 00:36:19,766 --> 00:36:21,233 value, quote, I'm doing 974 00:36:21,233 --> 00:36:22,966 heavy air quotes right now 975 00:36:23,433 --> 00:36:26,133 so that they can justify the price 976 00:36:26,133 --> 00:36:29,966 increase. And what they're really doing 977 00:36:29,966 --> 00:36:32,333 here is trying to push 978 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,266 as many people off of Game Pass Ultimate 979 00:36:35,266 --> 00:36:36,500 so that they have to 980 00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:37,833 then go buy the games again, 981 00:36:38,266 --> 00:36:41,599 because games are not you. This is I have 982 00:36:41,599 --> 00:36:43,833 been saying since 2020, I 983 00:36:43,833 --> 00:36:45,766 made a video in 2020 saying 984 00:36:46,066 --> 00:36:50,433 Xbox game pass is a scam. And I predicted 985 00:36:50,433 --> 00:36:51,733 almost exactly this 986 00:36:51,733 --> 00:36:54,033 scenario. But they have hit this 987 00:36:54,033 --> 00:36:56,166 time. They they have accelerated the 988 00:36:56,166 --> 00:36:57,766 timetable from what I thought 989 00:36:57,766 --> 00:36:59,433 would take 10 years to five. 990 00:37:00,566 --> 00:37:03,566 This this they got people addicted to the 991 00:37:03,566 --> 00:37:05,033 idea of a Netflix 992 00:37:05,033 --> 00:37:07,466 Netflix style subscription to 993 00:37:08,333 --> 00:37:11,833 all you can eat games. And and then now 994 00:37:11,833 --> 00:37:13,699 they're increasing the price. I'm a 995 00:37:13,699 --> 00:37:15,433 cynic. This is this is 996 00:37:15,533 --> 00:37:18,566 like clearly what Game Pass was designed 997 00:37:18,566 --> 00:37:20,866 to be. This is exactly the 998 00:37:20,866 --> 00:37:22,233 play that I expected Microsoft 999 00:37:22,233 --> 00:37:24,333 to take. And I am shocked that it only 1000 00:37:24,333 --> 00:37:25,466 took them five years and 1001 00:37:25,466 --> 00:37:29,266 not 10. Sorry. Go ahead. 1002 00:37:29,666 --> 00:37:34,166 Go ahead, James. So I don't think it's a 1003 00:37:34,166 --> 00:37:36,766 scam quite yet, but I think 1004 00:37:37,766 --> 00:37:40,933 James, once they lock it behind the like 1005 00:37:40,933 --> 00:37:42,733 the like, let's say a new 1006 00:37:42,733 --> 00:37:43,900 game comes out and you can only 1007 00:37:43,900 --> 00:37:47,733 get it when it's on the membership. I 1008 00:37:47,733 --> 00:37:48,766 think it becomes more of a 1009 00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:49,699 scam at that point, because I'm 1010 00:37:49,699 --> 00:37:51,266 don't want I don't like that. I like to 1011 00:37:51,266 --> 00:37:52,533 own my games, right? And I 1012 00:37:52,533 --> 00:37:53,400 have a feeling they're trying 1013 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,033 to gear up to to do two things. One, they 1014 00:37:56,033 --> 00:37:57,066 want to start locking some 1015 00:37:57,066 --> 00:37:58,500 games behind membership so they 1016 00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:00,566 don't they can be guaranteed monthly 1017 00:38:00,566 --> 00:38:02,033 income because if you start playing that 1018 00:38:02,033 --> 00:38:03,266 game, you're not like 1019 00:38:03,266 --> 00:38:05,199 for me, like I have doomed the dark ages. 1020 00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:06,099 I'm playing on Game Pass. 1021 00:38:06,099 --> 00:38:07,966 I'm like, well, I'm gonna 1022 00:38:07,966 --> 00:38:09,133 have to like, but I'm not on the 1023 00:38:09,133 --> 00:38:10,466 ultimate. I think I could still access 1024 00:38:10,466 --> 00:38:11,300 off the double check 1025 00:38:11,433 --> 00:38:12,599 because I'm on the like they're getting 1026 00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:13,666 rid of the PC one, but I 1027 00:38:13,666 --> 00:38:15,000 think it's going to be next month. 1028 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,466 So I need to beat doomed dark ages, but 1029 00:38:17,466 --> 00:38:19,166 that's a whole other thing. 1030 00:38:20,133 --> 00:38:23,033 But my my thing is once you 1031 00:38:23,033 --> 00:38:24,433 start getting locked into this, they're 1032 00:38:24,433 --> 00:38:25,633 going to continue increasing 1033 00:38:25,633 --> 00:38:27,333 this price every year or two. 1034 00:38:27,433 --> 00:38:28,666 Yes, this is my problem with 1035 00:38:28,666 --> 00:38:31,066 subscriptions and they've proven it and a 1036 00:38:31,066 --> 00:38:32,466 lot of these companies 1037 00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:35,800 right now it used to be a lot cheaper to 1038 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,633 cord cut from cable. Now it 1039 00:38:37,633 --> 00:38:39,066 is just as expensive to get 1040 00:38:39,066 --> 00:38:41,566 all the different services. I'm worried. 1041 00:38:42,766 --> 00:38:45,166 Yeah, it's more expensive. And I'm 1042 00:38:45,166 --> 00:38:45,966 starting to actually buy 1043 00:38:45,966 --> 00:38:50,666 my media again. I bought Superman on on 1044 00:38:50,666 --> 00:38:52,566 4k Blu-ray. Yeah, I haven't 1045 00:38:52,566 --> 00:38:53,800 done that yet, but I need to. 1046 00:38:54,866 --> 00:38:56,533 The hard part is it's already out on 1047 00:38:56,533 --> 00:38:57,166 something and I can just 1048 00:38:57,166 --> 00:38:57,966 watch it and I just need to watch 1049 00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,766 it one more time and then I'll buy it 1050 00:38:59,766 --> 00:39:00,633 later on when it's on sale. 1051 00:39:00,966 --> 00:39:03,833 But they've got me like these 1052 00:39:03,833 --> 00:39:05,266 subscription services have kind of got 1053 00:39:05,266 --> 00:39:06,000 me, especially since 1054 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,699 having kids. But this is my 1055 00:39:09,699 --> 00:39:12,733 like my warning to people that are that 1056 00:39:12,733 --> 00:39:15,199 with the Xbox game pass, it 1057 00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:16,533 will continue to increase the 1058 00:39:16,533 --> 00:39:20,633 price. Just expect it every year or two. 1059 00:39:20,866 --> 00:39:21,900 They probably won't try 1060 00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:22,766 to do it every year because 1061 00:39:22,833 --> 00:39:25,666 it will be too often, but they will be 1062 00:39:25,666 --> 00:39:27,199 increasing the price and 1063 00:39:27,199 --> 00:39:28,166 then they're going to try to 1064 00:39:28,699 --> 00:39:31,466 hostage you into the situation because 1065 00:39:31,466 --> 00:39:32,766 that's just what their 1066 00:39:32,766 --> 00:39:35,233 shareholders are going to want. 1067 00:39:35,933 --> 00:39:39,300 Yeah. So now to the, you know, to go back 1068 00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:40,466 to the Netflix example, 1069 00:39:41,366 --> 00:39:42,800 how much longer until we get a Netflix 1070 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,066 style situation with 1071 00:39:44,066 --> 00:39:46,133 Xbox game pass where, if you 1072 00:39:46,133 --> 00:39:48,766 recall, Netflix back in the day used to 1073 00:39:48,766 --> 00:39:50,000 have basically every 1074 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,566 major networks like shows and 1075 00:39:51,666 --> 00:39:53,266 whatnot. It used to be the one place to 1076 00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:54,466 get everything. Right. 1077 00:39:55,066 --> 00:39:56,166 And then now all of a sudden 1078 00:39:56,233 --> 00:40:00,266 like NBC, ABC, Disney all broke off into 1079 00:40:00,266 --> 00:40:01,866 their own their own 1080 00:40:01,866 --> 00:40:02,933 streaming services. Right. 1081 00:40:03,733 --> 00:40:05,733 How much longer until that happens? A 1082 00:40:05,733 --> 00:40:07,833 game pass where game pass 1083 00:40:07,833 --> 00:40:09,733 goes up in price, but Ubisoft 1084 00:40:09,833 --> 00:40:11,099 doesn't want to be a part anymore. 1085 00:40:11,433 --> 00:40:13,566 Neither does EA. So they break off, but 1086 00:40:13,566 --> 00:40:14,766 then the price, you know, 1087 00:40:14,766 --> 00:40:16,133 still remains the same as if they were 1088 00:40:16,133 --> 00:40:19,266 still on there. So right now it is 1089 00:40:19,266 --> 00:40:20,866 already a really good 1090 00:40:20,866 --> 00:40:22,433 deal if you play a lot of games a month. 1091 00:40:22,433 --> 00:40:23,333 If you beat these games in 1092 00:40:23,333 --> 00:40:24,699 a month, this is an amazing 1093 00:40:24,866 --> 00:40:28,433 deal. The problem is, are you going to be 1094 00:40:28,433 --> 00:40:29,466 able to stop the deal once 1095 00:40:29,466 --> 00:40:31,166 it goes up to $60 a month? 1096 00:40:32,133 --> 00:40:33,433 The deal has altered. 1097 00:40:34,099 --> 00:40:35,066 Yeah, I don't. 1098 00:40:36,633 --> 00:40:39,833 This is this is why this is why I don't 1099 00:40:39,833 --> 00:40:40,766 think that that's 1100 00:40:40,766 --> 00:40:41,833 going to happen. High tech. 1101 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,233 Microsoft is the only company in the 1102 00:40:46,233 --> 00:40:48,199 gaming industry that can 1103 00:40:48,199 --> 00:40:51,333 subsidize this level of scam 1104 00:40:51,333 --> 00:40:55,066 for this long. OK. And I, you know, like 1105 00:40:55,066 --> 00:40:56,766 James, I was going to ask 1106 00:40:56,766 --> 00:40:58,900 you, like, if this isn't a scam, 1107 00:40:59,433 --> 00:41:03,933 then how come Microsoft continues to put 1108 00:41:03,933 --> 00:41:06,733 so much money into it? It 1109 00:41:06,733 --> 00:41:08,866 to me, it seems like it is 1110 00:41:08,966 --> 00:41:12,833 designed from Adam to not be a loss 1111 00:41:12,833 --> 00:41:14,033 leader, but to like get 1112 00:41:14,033 --> 00:41:15,733 people addicted to the idea. 1113 00:41:16,233 --> 00:41:18,366 I don't think Electronic Arts could do 1114 00:41:18,366 --> 00:41:19,533 this. I don't think 1115 00:41:19,533 --> 00:41:21,366 Ubisoft could afford to do this. 1116 00:41:21,666 --> 00:41:23,166 I don't think Sony could afford to do 1117 00:41:23,166 --> 00:41:26,333 this. Like it is such an 1118 00:41:26,333 --> 00:41:29,766 astronomical loss for them 1119 00:41:31,933 --> 00:41:34,233 when, you know, it's like they lost how 1120 00:41:34,233 --> 00:41:35,833 much $300 million they 1121 00:41:35,833 --> 00:41:38,533 supposedly on the on the last call 1122 00:41:38,566 --> 00:41:41,066 of duty. It's like that's cannibalizing 1123 00:41:41,066 --> 00:41:41,966 their own real gains. 1124 00:41:42,233 --> 00:41:43,966 That's that's right. Always what 1125 00:41:43,966 --> 00:41:44,633 they're going to say. They're always 1126 00:41:44,633 --> 00:41:46,199 going to put it up much higher than they 1127 00:41:46,199 --> 00:41:47,400 probably do some type 1128 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,533 of write off and stuff on it. So right. 1129 00:41:50,833 --> 00:41:52,266 But like you could make you 1130 00:41:52,266 --> 00:41:54,166 make more money. You stand to 1131 00:41:54,166 --> 00:41:56,599 make more money by selling a copy of a 1132 00:41:56,599 --> 00:41:57,633 game, especially an 1133 00:41:57,633 --> 00:42:00,633 annualized like series like Call 1134 00:42:00,633 --> 00:42:02,633 of Duty or whatever. You stand to make 1135 00:42:02,633 --> 00:42:03,733 more money that way. Just 1136 00:42:03,733 --> 00:42:06,633 point blank. Unless you also 1137 00:42:06,733 --> 00:42:08,433 continue to increase the price of Game 1138 00:42:08,433 --> 00:42:10,199 Pass. I think Call of Duty 1139 00:42:10,199 --> 00:42:11,666 is also drying up more than 1140 00:42:11,666 --> 00:42:13,133 they realize. Oh, yeah. Let on. That 1141 00:42:13,133 --> 00:42:13,800 could be another thing. 1142 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:14,866 They're they're hiding a lot of 1143 00:42:14,866 --> 00:42:16,366 this stuff. They're like, oh, I could 1144 00:42:16,366 --> 00:42:17,433 have made $300 million. Well, 1145 00:42:17,833 --> 00:42:19,099 probably not because I don't 1146 00:42:19,099 --> 00:42:21,933 think Call of Duty like they've I don't 1147 00:42:21,933 --> 00:42:23,433 think is dying off per se 1148 00:42:23,433 --> 00:42:24,500 like some of these other 1149 00:42:25,433 --> 00:42:28,366 like MMOs and stuff. But it is definitely 1150 00:42:28,366 --> 00:42:30,300 not the cash cow it used to be. 1151 00:42:30,833 --> 00:42:33,066 And they aren't interested in Call of 1152 00:42:33,066 --> 00:42:33,699 Duty anymore. They're 1153 00:42:33,699 --> 00:42:34,866 playing like they're playing 1154 00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:36,166 Fortnite and Roblox. They're not even 1155 00:42:36,166 --> 00:42:36,766 playing the most 1156 00:42:36,766 --> 00:42:37,966 graphic intense games anymore. 1157 00:42:38,466 --> 00:42:40,533 No, they're playing Fart Night. I know. 1158 00:42:40,533 --> 00:42:42,300 That's what I thought you said. Yeah. 1159 00:42:43,466 --> 00:42:45,633 Yeah. No, but like seriously, they're not 1160 00:42:45,633 --> 00:42:46,333 even playing the most 1161 00:42:46,333 --> 00:42:47,400 graphic demanding games, 1162 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:48,933 which makes me wonder why do they even 1163 00:42:48,933 --> 00:42:51,233 why do developers even bother making 1164 00:42:51,766 --> 00:42:54,500 super graphically demanding games if like 1165 00:42:54,500 --> 00:42:55,433 the next generation of 1166 00:42:55,433 --> 00:42:57,466 gamers don't give a fuck? 1167 00:42:57,466 --> 00:42:59,466 It depends themselves into a corner with 1168 00:42:59,466 --> 00:43:00,433 marketing or it's like 1169 00:43:00,433 --> 00:43:01,233 it's the best looking 1170 00:43:01,366 --> 00:43:04,866 game this you know of ever created or you 1171 00:43:04,866 --> 00:43:06,633 know, they should do they should market. 1172 00:43:07,099 --> 00:43:09,466 Oh, it's the most destructive game ever. 1173 00:43:09,466 --> 00:43:11,933 Yeah.

But you get what I'm saying, 1183 00:43:32,466 --> 00:43:33,966 right? Like I saw red faction. I thought, 1184 00:43:34,233 --> 00:43:36,566 wow, this is a feature of games. You can 1185 00:43:36,566 --> 00:43:38,666 destroy shit. And it was 1186 00:43:38,666 --> 00:43:40,666 so awesome. And I mean, 1187 00:43:40,666 --> 00:43:42,900 crackdowns kind of like that, too. But 1188 00:43:42,900 --> 00:43:45,733 like, and then 30 years later, you get 1189 00:43:46,099 --> 00:43:49,333 Doc O'Connor Bonanza. Yeah, that's the 1190 00:43:49,333 --> 00:43:51,166 feature of gaming. That's it. 1191 00:43:51,566 --> 00:43:52,566 Oh, man, I really want to play 1192 00:43:52,566 --> 00:43:53,833 that, but I'm not going to because 1193 00:43:53,833 --> 00:43:57,866 Nintendo sucks. Not yet. Is it gorilla or 1194 00:43:57,866 --> 00:43:59,266 is it like Armageddon? 1195 00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:01,199 Well, the first red faction I think 1196 00:44:01,199 --> 00:44:02,166 wasn't what I'm thinking of. 1197 00:44:02,966 --> 00:44:04,666 The first red faction had destructible 1198 00:44:04,666 --> 00:44:05,466 environments, too. I 1199 00:44:05,466 --> 00:44:06,666 think I think they all do. 1200 00:44:07,266 --> 00:44:09,099 It's one of the biggest selling points is 1201 00:44:09,099 --> 00:44:10,066 that you can destroy things 1202 00:44:10,066 --> 00:44:11,433 and they make it easy because 1203 00:44:11,433 --> 00:44:13,199 it's on Mars. And so they don't have to 1204 00:44:13,199 --> 00:44:14,466 worry about high 1205 00:44:14,466 --> 00:44:16,566 environmental details like foliage 1206 00:44:16,566 --> 00:44:19,066 and stuff like that. So yeah, but imagine 1207 00:44:19,066 --> 00:44:20,933 like red factions put on 1208 00:44:20,933 --> 00:44:22,433 Earth with a bunch of like 1209 00:44:22,433 --> 00:44:24,466 foliage and all that cool shit. Now, 1210 00:44:24,466 --> 00:44:26,633 they're often our games kind of like 1211 00:44:26,633 --> 00:44:28,033 that. I'm trying to, 1212 00:44:28,099 --> 00:44:30,000 is it just cause? I don't know. There's a 1213 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:30,900 couple of games that do 1214 00:44:30,900 --> 00:44:32,266 have a lot of environmental 1215 00:44:32,266 --> 00:44:35,699 destruction. Oh, dude, have you guys 1216 00:44:35,699 --> 00:44:37,333 played? Have you guys played teardown? 1217 00:44:37,966 --> 00:44:40,366 No. So teardown is like 1218 00:44:40,366 --> 00:44:42,933 an indie game where your goal is to like, 1219 00:44:43,833 --> 00:44:44,566 there's a bunch of different 1220 00:44:44,566 --> 00:44:45,933 objectives. But like the main 1221 00:44:45,933 --> 00:44:48,266 selling point is destruction, like voxel, 1222 00:44:48,266 --> 00:44:48,966 destruction, physics. 1223 00:44:50,133 --> 00:44:50,933 There's a mantra called 1224 00:44:50,933 --> 00:44:53,333 structural integrity, which tries to like 1225 00:44:53,333 --> 00:44:54,699 mimic like real life 1226 00:44:54,699 --> 00:44:56,033 structural destruction. 1227 00:44:57,666 --> 00:44:59,466 So like if you blow open like a few 1228 00:44:59,466 --> 00:45:00,366 walls, eventually like 1229 00:45:00,366 --> 00:45:01,166 the building will like 1230 00:45:02,066 --> 00:45:03,966 like the remaining like foundation will 1231 00:45:03,966 --> 00:45:04,966 start to like crack and 1232 00:45:04,966 --> 00:45:06,066 then eventually collapse 1233 00:45:06,566 --> 00:45:08,866 under pressure. And it's thinking of 1234 00:45:08,866 --> 00:45:10,400 collapsing under pressure 1235 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,666 after Microsoft announced the 1236 00:45:12,666 --> 00:45:15,133 game pass changes their website to 1237 00:45:15,133 --> 00:45:16,666 cancel. These subscriptions 1238 00:45:16,666 --> 00:45:20,866 crash. Yeah. That's crazy. 1239 00:45:21,366 --> 00:45:22,966 That's going to happen a lot, though. 1240 00:45:23,433 --> 00:45:24,333 Like people are very 1241 00:45:24,333 --> 00:45:26,400 reactionary. And if we haven't noticed 1242 00:45:26,466 --> 00:45:28,466 before in the past, a lot of people end 1243 00:45:28,466 --> 00:45:31,699 up coming back. But I 1244 00:45:31,699 --> 00:45:33,966 think the amount that they 1245 00:45:33,966 --> 00:45:36,166 were going to make up, they're probably 1246 00:45:36,166 --> 00:45:36,866 going to lose from 1247 00:45:36,866 --> 00:45:38,433 cancellations. I don't think at the end 1248 00:45:38,433 --> 00:45:41,366 of the day, they're going to increase 1249 00:45:41,366 --> 00:45:42,766 much maybe over the few 1250 00:45:42,766 --> 00:45:45,066 years, maybe, but like even I'm 1251 00:45:45,066 --> 00:45:49,333 thinking about canceling mine. And while 1252 00:45:49,333 --> 00:45:50,666 I'm almost done with Doom Dark Ages, 1253 00:45:50,933 --> 00:45:51,833 which is it gets better, 1254 00:45:51,933 --> 00:45:55,199 by the way, Gardner, but it does. But 1255 00:45:55,199 --> 00:45:55,800 it's definitely not 1256 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,000 nearly still it's not as good 1257 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,266 as doing eternal. And so I'm going to be 1258 00:45:59,266 --> 00:46:00,266 wrapping that up and then 1259 00:46:00,266 --> 00:46:02,166 anything else I'm playing, 1260 00:46:02,166 --> 00:46:06,133 I'm just going to buy it because I I just 1261 00:46:06,133 --> 00:46:07,166 prefer to own the games. 1262 00:46:07,833 --> 00:46:10,099 Do people still play cod? This is crazy. 1263 00:46:10,099 --> 00:46:12,233 I see a clip. I saw a 1264 00:46:12,233 --> 00:46:13,266 clip of someone with like the 1265 00:46:13,266 --> 00:46:17,133 sniper in the new Call of Duty beta. And 1266 00:46:17,133 --> 00:46:19,033 apparently it looks like it's just a 1267 00:46:19,033 --> 00:46:19,900 sniper with built in 1268 00:46:19,933 --> 00:46:22,633 wall hacks and built in sheets through 1269 00:46:22,633 --> 00:46:24,266 walls to kill enemies to. 1270 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000 I don't know. I'm sure they 1271 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,166 still like there's still plenty of people 1272 00:46:30,166 --> 00:46:31,900 that play Call of Duty. It's just they're 1273 00:46:32,099 --> 00:46:33,133 heavily invested. And that's what they've 1274 00:46:33,133 --> 00:46:33,666 been playing for 1275 00:46:33,666 --> 00:46:34,599 years. It's kind of like, 1276 00:46:34,733 --> 00:46:38,166 it's like Stock syndrome. It's like a 1277 00:46:38,166 --> 00:46:39,866 sports thing. So it's a 1278 00:46:39,866 --> 00:46:41,233 sports thing. People see it 1279 00:46:41,233 --> 00:46:42,733 as a sports thing. Some people like 1280 00:46:42,733 --> 00:46:43,733 football. Other people like 1281 00:46:43,733 --> 00:46:44,666 playing Call of Duty. And that's 1282 00:46:44,666 --> 00:46:45,566 what they do after they get done with 1283 00:46:45,566 --> 00:46:47,833 work. They just want to relax and play 1284 00:46:47,833 --> 00:46:48,366 something. They play 1285 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,266 Call of Duty. I'm not going to like even 1286 00:46:51,266 --> 00:46:52,466 if people choose to do 1287 00:46:52,466 --> 00:46:54,366 Fortnite, like I'll say this, 1288 00:46:54,833 --> 00:46:58,033 we are all like gamers are a variety. 1289 00:46:58,566 --> 00:47:01,033 There's like a variety of different 1290 00:47:01,033 --> 00:47:02,500 gamers. Me, I actually 1291 00:47:02,566 --> 00:47:04,966 do like pushing the graphical envelope 1292 00:47:04,966 --> 00:47:06,766 quite a bit. I just don't 1293 00:47:06,766 --> 00:47:09,033 think these game developers 1294 00:47:09,033 --> 00:47:11,333 or publishers are doing it the right way, 1295 00:47:11,733 --> 00:47:13,033 in my opinion, but I like 1296 00:47:13,033 --> 00:47:15,266 doing that. I like a little 1297 00:47:15,266 --> 00:47:16,900 bit of artistic flair to it. And they 1298 00:47:16,900 --> 00:47:18,166 oftentimes don't do that. They try to 1299 00:47:18,166 --> 00:47:19,066 make it too realistic. 1300 00:47:20,300 --> 00:47:22,333 And so, which is bullshitting. I kind of 1301 00:47:22,333 --> 00:47:23,166 brought it back into that. 1302 00:47:23,166 --> 00:47:24,133 It's just there are a lot of 1303 00:47:24,133 --> 00:47:26,000 different people, which is bullshit too, 1304 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,466 because like movies aren't 1305 00:47:27,466 --> 00:47:28,833 even that realistic. Like 1306 00:47:28,833 --> 00:47:30,433 there are a lot of like, no, like 1307 00:47:30,433 --> 00:47:33,199 obviously movies have like real actors. 1308 00:47:33,199 --> 00:47:33,966 It's probably way more 1309 00:47:33,966 --> 00:47:36,300 realistic than a game will be. But at the 1310 00:47:36,300 --> 00:47:37,233 same time, though, like 1311 00:47:37,233 --> 00:47:39,166 the like directors play with 1312 00:47:39,199 --> 00:47:41,800 the lighting, they make they make it so 1313 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,900 it gets a good shot at the 1314 00:47:43,900 --> 00:47:45,199 cost of sometimes realism. 1315 00:47:46,166 --> 00:47:50,099 Set design to it. And the fact that these 1316 00:47:50,099 --> 00:47:52,033 game developers haven't 1317 00:47:52,033 --> 00:47:52,966 really caught on to the fact 1318 00:47:52,966 --> 00:47:55,833 that that's why movies look so good is 1319 00:47:55,833 --> 00:47:56,866 insane. It's like the 1320 00:47:56,866 --> 00:47:58,366 different way in a YouTube video and 1321 00:47:58,366 --> 00:48:01,566 in like a movie movie, right? I think 1322 00:48:01,566 --> 00:48:02,366 there's just a lot of 1323 00:48:02,366 --> 00:48:03,466 different games. I don't know if 1324 00:48:03,466 --> 00:48:04,766 that's fair because there's a lot of 1325 00:48:04,766 --> 00:48:06,199 movies that try to be as realistic as 1326 00:48:06,199 --> 00:48:07,033 possible. They do it 1327 00:48:07,033 --> 00:48:08,400 with lighting and stuff like that. 1328 00:48:08,766 --> 00:48:10,933 There's games that do well by saying, 1329 00:48:10,933 --> 00:48:12,066 hey, this is realistic. 1330 00:48:13,199 --> 00:48:15,000 They're not going to be doing the best, 1331 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,233 but we have a variety of 1332 00:48:17,233 --> 00:48:18,099 different games. I don't think 1333 00:48:18,099 --> 00:48:20,733 it's a bad thing. It's just the trends 1334 00:48:20,733 --> 00:48:22,466 right now for a lot of 1335 00:48:22,466 --> 00:48:25,766 the triple A are not great. 1336 00:48:26,699 --> 00:48:28,000 Because I don't think going the Fortnite 1337 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,033 route is going to be the 1338 00:48:30,033 --> 00:48:31,300 right way for all of them. 1339 00:48:31,900 --> 00:48:34,366 And they'd like to chase that. So these 1340 00:48:34,366 --> 00:48:35,366 triple A just try to chase 1341 00:48:35,366 --> 00:48:36,699 whatever they think is trendy. 1342 00:48:37,766 --> 00:48:41,699 I don't know. It's. I don't want really 1343 00:48:41,699 --> 00:48:44,333 like some realism to go away. I don't 1344 00:48:44,333 --> 00:48:45,033 want it just to play 1345 00:48:45,033 --> 00:48:47,766 Fortnite games, I'll be honest. I mean, 1346 00:48:47,766 --> 00:48:48,500 that's totally valid, 1347 00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:51,066 too. If they keep it at like 1348 00:48:51,066 --> 00:48:53,366 Dead Space remake level of like detail, 1349 00:48:53,366 --> 00:48:55,199 I'm down for that. Oh, 1350 00:48:55,199 --> 00:48:57,766 yeah, dude. The thing about like 1351 00:48:58,466 --> 00:49:00,466 that era, I think that that was like peak 1352 00:49:00,466 --> 00:49:03,300 gaming because there 1353 00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:06,133 wasn't huge demand on hardware. 1354 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,933 Like they were pushing the 360 and stuff 1355 00:49:08,933 --> 00:49:10,000 at that time. But like, 1356 00:49:11,433 --> 00:49:13,699 you know, today's hardware, especially 1357 00:49:13,699 --> 00:49:15,133 like the Steam Deck, can play 1358 00:49:16,866 --> 00:49:19,500 these remakes of old games like Gears of 1359 00:49:19,500 --> 00:49:21,933 War, right? Anything from 1360 00:49:21,933 --> 00:49:23,199 that era works really well 1361 00:49:23,199 --> 00:49:25,633 on the Steam Deck. And that I think we've 1362 00:49:25,633 --> 00:49:26,733 been kind of talking about 1363 00:49:26,733 --> 00:49:27,599 the future of gaming a little 1364 00:49:27,599 --> 00:49:29,966 bit like Red Faction. No, no, no, the 1365 00:49:29,966 --> 00:49:32,066 future of gaming is this like 1366 00:49:32,066 --> 00:49:34,000 handheld market. Like that's 1367 00:49:34,333 --> 00:49:36,866 what I think the future is. And so if we 1368 00:49:36,866 --> 00:49:38,000 can like kind of reset 1369 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,900 our expectations to like, 1370 00:49:40,233 --> 00:49:42,133 it looks good enough. You can tell what's 1371 00:49:42,133 --> 00:49:44,433 going on and you have fun. 1372 00:49:44,766 --> 00:49:46,133 That's the critical aspect 1373 00:49:46,133 --> 00:49:49,133 of game. Yeah. So and that's my 1374 00:49:49,133 --> 00:49:51,866 curmudgeon take. Well, speaking of the 1375 00:49:51,866 --> 00:49:52,966 future of gaming, right? 1376 00:49:53,566 --> 00:49:57,166 Like as handheld and they everyone knows 1377 00:49:57,166 --> 00:49:58,766 it. That's why the cost is going to be 1378 00:49:59,533 --> 00:50:01,266 a thousand dollars to enter that future. 1379 00:50:01,933 --> 00:50:03,666 Well, the future is 1380 00:50:03,666 --> 00:50:05,833 actually today for some people 1381 00:50:06,333 --> 00:50:09,066 in France, in France. True. Hi, tech. 1382 00:50:09,066 --> 00:50:10,033 Tell me what's going on 1383 00:50:10,033 --> 00:50:10,933 with this. I hadn't heard this 1384 00:50:10,933 --> 00:50:14,566 story. So a Redditor posted on Reddit 1385 00:50:14,566 --> 00:50:16,000 that they received it a 1386 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,599 little early or the next day. 1387 00:50:18,099 --> 00:50:21,733 The Xbox, the RG Xbox, the X, the X. 1388 00:50:22,266 --> 00:50:23,633 Yeah. The post has since 1389 00:50:23,633 --> 00:50:25,733 been deleted by the author. 1390 00:50:26,733 --> 00:50:30,533 But I mean, from what I remember of the 1391 00:50:30,533 --> 00:50:31,666 article, it looked like 1392 00:50:31,666 --> 00:50:33,866 he was doing pretty well. 1393 00:50:34,433 --> 00:50:36,366 You know, decent battery life. It seems 1394 00:50:36,366 --> 00:50:38,033 like it has a lot better gains. 1395 00:50:39,466 --> 00:50:42,033 Like the upper gains aren't too many FPS 1396 00:50:42,033 --> 00:50:44,333 increases, like at a higher wattages, 1397 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,433 like compared to the original ally. But 1398 00:50:46,433 --> 00:50:47,733 the efficiency gains 1399 00:50:47,733 --> 00:50:49,066 for like lower wattages is 1400 00:50:49,933 --> 00:50:53,366 a lot better. Which is good, which is 1401 00:50:53,366 --> 00:50:54,766 good. No, that's that's true. Like 1402 00:50:55,266 --> 00:50:56,333 there's supposed to be some 1403 00:50:56,333 --> 00:50:57,933 updates coming out for the 1404 00:50:59,533 --> 00:51:02,000 Z1, or Z2 extreme to make it 1405 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,333 a little bit better at higher 1406 00:51:03,766 --> 00:51:07,666 TDPs. But like mid range TDPs do really 1407 00:51:07,666 --> 00:51:09,033 well. And it does have a 1408 00:51:09,033 --> 00:51:10,733 pretty sizable increase. 1409 00:51:11,033 --> 00:51:13,166 Is it a sizable increase to say, like, 1410 00:51:13,166 --> 00:51:14,533 hey, if you have an Xbox 1411 00:51:14,533 --> 00:51:16,766 or let's say an ROG Ally X, 1412 00:51:17,433 --> 00:51:20,300 and you want to get the Xbox Ally X or, 1413 00:51:20,633 --> 00:51:21,599 you know, all the 1414 00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:23,033 naming convention shit. But 1415 00:51:23,833 --> 00:51:26,633 I hate it. It catches me up every time. I 1416 00:51:26,633 --> 00:51:28,733 would definitely say no. Like if you have 1417 00:51:28,733 --> 00:51:30,900 just a regular Ally X, don't get the Xbox 1418 00:51:30,900 --> 00:51:32,866 Ally X because you're just 1419 00:51:32,866 --> 00:51:34,133 not going to get enough gains 1420 00:51:34,333 --> 00:51:38,366 to warrant paying $300 more for a device 1421 00:51:38,366 --> 00:51:40,766 that's not that much different. 1422 00:51:41,933 --> 00:51:43,933 I also don't think this is a good deal. I 1423 00:51:43,933 --> 00:51:45,133 have a reservation for 1424 00:51:45,133 --> 00:51:45,966 this. I don't know if you know 1425 00:51:45,966 --> 00:51:47,866 that gardener, but I've talked about it 1426 00:51:47,866 --> 00:51:49,333 in the past. I think 1427 00:51:49,333 --> 00:51:52,366 episodes, but I do have 1428 00:51:53,666 --> 00:51:58,533 reservation for the Xbox Ally X. I don't 1429 00:51:58,533 --> 00:51:59,300 know if I'll keep it or 1430 00:51:59,300 --> 00:52:01,066 not. I'm trying to convince 1431 00:52:01,066 --> 00:52:04,400 myself to keep it because I like every 1432 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,166 aspect of it besides the 1433 00:52:06,166 --> 00:52:08,199 screen. And I want something 1434 00:52:08,199 --> 00:52:09,766 that can be just a little bit better and 1435 00:52:09,766 --> 00:52:12,166 have a USB for interface. 1436 00:52:12,300 --> 00:52:16,266 Well, you know what device has that both 1437 00:52:16,266 --> 00:52:18,599 of those things, the Lenovo device? 1438 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,599 Yeah, but I can't get one right now. Are 1439 00:52:22,599 --> 00:52:25,766 you talking about the Legion go to? 1440 00:52:26,433 --> 00:52:26,633 Yeah. 1441 00:52:27,266 --> 00:52:30,033 Yeah, it's not. They pulled it and it's 1442 00:52:30,033 --> 00:52:30,966 for pre-order again. 1443 00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:32,633 They had a bumper issue. 1444 00:52:33,166 --> 00:52:33,366 Oh. 1445 00:52:34,166 --> 00:52:36,366 And so if I go and look to see if I can 1446 00:52:36,366 --> 00:52:37,033 get it, I don't know what's 1447 00:52:37,033 --> 00:52:37,766 going to come out. I don't even 1448 00:52:37,766 --> 00:52:39,133 know if they have a date. I'd have to, 1449 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:40,433 maybe I could find it, but 1450 00:52:40,433 --> 00:52:42,266 they released it. They had 1451 00:52:42,266 --> 00:52:43,066 a bumper issue, which 1452 00:52:43,066 --> 00:52:44,666 seems stupid to, I don't know. 1453 00:52:44,933 --> 00:52:45,566 A bumper issue? 1454 00:52:46,233 --> 00:52:48,166 Yeah, the bumper, like the right bumper 1455 00:52:48,166 --> 00:52:52,466 gets stuck really bad 1456 00:52:52,466 --> 00:52:53,333 for a lot of people. 1457 00:52:53,333 --> 00:52:53,633 I can see that being a 1458 00:52:53,633 --> 00:52:54,699 huge issue, to be honest. 1459 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,566 Yeah. And so they did a recall from 1460 00:52:57,566 --> 00:53:00,833 understanding. And so, and at the end of 1461 00:53:00,833 --> 00:53:01,733 the day, it's nice that 1462 00:53:01,733 --> 00:53:03,966 it has an 8.8 inch screen and OLED, but I 1463 00:53:03,966 --> 00:53:05,433 really did not like the 1464 00:53:05,433 --> 00:53:06,966 Legion go 1s. And I don't think 1465 00:53:06,966 --> 00:53:09,666 they changed the controller itself enough 1466 00:53:09,666 --> 00:53:11,533 because the Legion go 1 1467 00:53:11,533 --> 00:53:13,033 controllers were too mushy for 1468 00:53:13,066 --> 00:53:16,300 me. I didn't like it. And the allies are 1469 00:53:16,300 --> 00:53:16,966 a little mushy, but 1470 00:53:16,966 --> 00:53:18,433 they're not quite as bad. Like, 1471 00:53:18,433 --> 00:53:19,766 it just felt very cheap 1472 00:53:19,766 --> 00:53:21,133 holding those controllers. 1473 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:22,766 Fair enough. 1474 00:53:23,266 --> 00:53:26,133 I hate to say this, but they probably 1475 00:53:26,133 --> 00:53:26,833 should have thrown a 1476 00:53:26,833 --> 00:53:27,966 little bit more weight into the 1477 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,333 controller, which is not a good thing for 1478 00:53:31,333 --> 00:53:33,866 a handheld, but I don't 1479 00:53:33,866 --> 00:53:35,233 want to lift something 1480 00:53:35,233 --> 00:53:37,233 that feels so plasticky and fake. 1481 00:53:37,766 --> 00:53:39,433 There is a way to enable the new Xbox 1482 00:53:39,433 --> 00:53:41,733 interface on your existing handhelds, 1483 00:53:41,833 --> 00:53:43,566 if you're running Windows on them. And I 1484 00:53:43,566 --> 00:53:44,633 tried that on my Ally X, 1485 00:53:45,466 --> 00:53:47,699 and it seems to work pretty okay. The 1486 00:53:47,699 --> 00:53:50,233 problem is that the Xbox interface itself 1487 00:53:52,233 --> 00:53:54,333 kind of bare bones, to be honest. 1488 00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:57,733 Unless you're playing games like on the 1489 00:53:57,733 --> 00:53:59,466 actual Xbox itself, like 1490 00:53:59,466 --> 00:54:00,966 the Xbox service itself, 1491 00:54:01,866 --> 00:54:04,766 it's kind of bare bones. Apparently, in 1492 00:54:04,766 --> 00:54:06,466 the future, you should be 1493 00:54:06,466 --> 00:54:07,866 able to replace that launcher 1494 00:54:08,166 --> 00:54:10,233 that you launch with by default with a 1495 00:54:10,233 --> 00:54:11,099 different program. So it 1496 00:54:11,099 --> 00:54:12,099 seems like maybe in the future, 1497 00:54:12,099 --> 00:54:13,566 you can just launch to Steam Big Picture 1498 00:54:13,566 --> 00:54:14,633 mode, but it's 1499 00:54:14,633 --> 00:54:16,966 running Windows underneath. 1500 00:54:17,933 --> 00:54:19,000 I don't know how well that's going to go 1501 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,466 over, to be honest, but I mean, 1502 00:54:21,166 --> 00:54:22,766 it's nice that they're improving Windows. 1503 00:54:23,933 --> 00:54:27,199 I just wish it wasn't super late. 1504 00:54:28,633 --> 00:54:32,433 My stance has been that Microsoft, in the 1505 00:54:32,433 --> 00:54:33,066 history of their 1506 00:54:33,066 --> 00:54:34,533 company, has never been able to 1507 00:54:35,366 --> 00:54:39,433 sustain a product to be good for three 1508 00:54:39,433 --> 00:54:42,366 years. It takes them three 1509 00:54:42,366 --> 00:54:44,199 years to take a good product 1510 00:54:44,199 --> 00:54:46,366 and ruin it. That's what Microsoft does. 1511 00:54:46,733 --> 00:54:48,099 That's their entire track 1512 00:54:48,099 --> 00:54:49,466 record over the entire history 1513 00:54:49,466 --> 00:54:53,733 of their company. And so they might be 1514 00:54:53,733 --> 00:54:56,766 able to make the Xbox UI for Windows 1515 00:54:56,766 --> 00:54:59,433 good, but very quickly, 1516 00:54:59,433 --> 00:55:02,033 it will become corrupted by outside 1517 00:55:02,033 --> 00:55:03,733 departments, outside the Xbox 1518 00:55:03,733 --> 00:55:05,733 and Windows teams that want to 1519 00:55:06,066 --> 00:55:08,366 shove extra crap into it, or you won't 1520 00:55:08,366 --> 00:55:09,533 only be able to access it 1521 00:55:09,533 --> 00:55:10,800 if you have game pass, or 1522 00:55:11,133 --> 00:55:13,766 it's going to happen. Microsoft is going 1523 00:55:13,766 --> 00:55:15,933 to ruin it. And that 1524 00:55:15,933 --> 00:55:17,133 gives me hope for the future. 1525 00:55:19,099 --> 00:55:21,766 Very pessimistic take on that. I don't 1526 00:55:21,766 --> 00:55:22,866 think you're wrong about that. 1527 00:55:22,866 --> 00:55:23,066 We're talking about Microsoft. 1528 00:55:23,466 --> 00:55:24,433 Yeah, I don't think 1529 00:55:24,433 --> 00:55:25,199 you're necessarily wrong. 1530 00:55:25,199 --> 00:55:25,733 That is true. 1531 00:55:26,066 --> 00:55:30,233 I... They're going to inject the AI stuff 1532 00:55:30,233 --> 00:55:32,599 somehow into it. And I 1533 00:55:32,599 --> 00:55:34,266 will say, if they brought back 1534 00:55:34,266 --> 00:55:37,166 Cortana, cool, do it. Actually have a 1535 00:55:37,166 --> 00:55:38,633 game character be it. Cool. 1536 00:55:39,166 --> 00:55:39,900 They're not going to do that. 1537 00:55:40,233 --> 00:55:41,800 And I'm really frustrated because that's 1538 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:42,566 the only thing they had 1539 00:55:42,566 --> 00:55:43,633 going with the AI stuff, 1540 00:55:43,633 --> 00:55:46,733 then they got rid of it. But just because 1541 00:55:46,733 --> 00:55:48,233 I'm not the biggest Halo 1542 00:55:48,233 --> 00:55:49,666 fan, but I think it's really 1543 00:55:49,766 --> 00:55:52,833 cool to actually have the AI in Halo to 1544 00:55:52,833 --> 00:55:54,733 actually be at least a little bit of a 1545 00:55:57,533 --> 00:56:01,300 cover for the AI to have the voice that 1546 00:56:01,300 --> 00:56:02,966 sounds like Cortana. I don't know. 1547 00:56:03,266 --> 00:56:06,433 The veneer of Halo. And when you pay 1548 00:56:06,433 --> 00:56:08,733 extra for Cortana, DLC for Co-Pilot? 1549 00:56:10,933 --> 00:56:13,433 Well, per month, no. One time, yeah. 1550 00:56:14,699 --> 00:56:16,199 Well, would you be... 1551 00:56:16,199 --> 00:56:17,966 It takes money to make that stuff.

I don't like it 1795 01:04:51,866 --> 01:04:52,599 either, to be honest. 1796 01:04:54,199 --> 01:04:56,000 I'm not I'm not a pro fighting game 1797 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:57,433 player, though I do double in 1798 01:04:57,433 --> 01:04:58,633 quite a bit of fighting games. 1799 01:05:00,966 --> 01:05:02,366 One of these days I'll make it to Evo. 1800 01:05:04,133 --> 01:05:07,366 Dude, imagine imagine the kind of hell 1801 01:05:07,366 --> 01:05:10,466 that Evo or any other one, 1802 01:05:10,900 --> 01:05:12,733 any other like competition that 1803 01:05:12,966 --> 01:05:16,033 like does Smash Bros. 1804 01:05:16,966 --> 01:05:19,000 Competitively, the kind of hell they 1805 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,566 would unleash if they did 1806 01:05:20,966 --> 01:05:22,633 pay per view. But for a Smash Bros 1807 01:05:22,633 --> 01:05:23,333 tournament like 1808 01:05:23,333 --> 01:05:25,333 Nintendo would go ape shit. 1809 01:05:26,166 --> 01:05:27,333 I don't. Yeah, I don't think Nintendo 1810 01:05:27,333 --> 01:05:28,733 would allow it. I mean, Nintendo 1811 01:05:29,199 --> 01:05:30,866 barely even allows the game to be 1812 01:05:30,866 --> 01:05:32,000 streamed at all, to be honest. 1813 01:05:33,066 --> 01:05:35,866 Yeah, it's insane. So crazy. 1814 01:05:36,733 --> 01:05:40,966 So there was an update to the security 1815 01:05:40,966 --> 01:05:42,099 incident on Discord. 1816 01:05:43,199 --> 01:05:44,966 What's going on here? I think I missed 1817 01:05:44,966 --> 01:05:45,933 this story completely. 1818 01:05:47,933 --> 01:05:49,300 Yeah, I did, too, actually, when this 1819 01:05:49,300 --> 01:05:50,766 happened. But essentially, 1820 01:05:50,766 --> 01:05:53,433 on September 20th, Discord was 1821 01:05:53,433 --> 01:05:55,533 hacked, but not necessarily Discord 1822 01:05:55,533 --> 01:05:58,466 itself, but one of their third party 1823 01:05:58,466 --> 01:05:59,533 providers that they use 1824 01:05:59,533 --> 01:06:01,433 for like, or like a customer support and 1825 01:06:01,433 --> 01:06:03,466 whatnot. And as you can see, 1826 01:06:03,466 --> 01:06:04,833 there are a couple of things 1827 01:06:04,833 --> 01:06:06,800 that have been compromised. For example, 1828 01:06:07,433 --> 01:06:09,033 names, government IDs, 1829 01:06:10,033 --> 01:06:11,900 Discord IDs, emails, other 1830 01:06:11,933 --> 01:06:14,033 contact info provided the last four of 1831 01:06:14,033 --> 01:06:15,166 your credit card or 1832 01:06:15,166 --> 01:06:18,033 purchase history, your IP address, 1833 01:06:18,300 --> 01:06:19,900 messages with customer support and some 1834 01:06:19,900 --> 01:06:23,733 like internal corporate data. 1835 01:06:26,333 --> 01:06:30,366 Damn. And this is a lot of this happened. 1836 01:06:30,733 --> 01:06:32,433 A lot of like, what could 1837 01:06:32,433 --> 01:06:33,166 have been avoided were the 1838 01:06:33,166 --> 01:06:34,566 government IDs. But a lot of these 1839 01:06:34,566 --> 01:06:36,066 appeals were about age 1840 01:06:36,066 --> 01:06:38,133 verification. And as you know, 1841 01:06:38,166 --> 01:06:39,833 I think they started they started doing 1842 01:06:39,833 --> 01:06:42,099 that like in the UK, if I'm not mistaken. 1843 01:06:43,366 --> 01:06:46,833 Hmm. Yeah. So this is just like more 1844 01:06:46,833 --> 01:06:48,633 proof positive that like, 1845 01:06:49,833 --> 01:06:52,900 that that UK law is probably a bad idea, 1846 01:06:52,900 --> 01:06:55,566 right? I would say so. Yes. 1847 01:06:56,633 --> 01:06:58,966 So they were handling it themselves. 1848 01:06:59,866 --> 01:07:01,866 That's crazy. Well, it 1849 01:07:01,866 --> 01:07:03,233 looks like it was a third party. 1850 01:07:03,300 --> 01:07:05,233 Oh, it was a third party. I just must 1851 01:07:05,233 --> 01:07:06,933 have missed that. Oh, 1852 01:07:06,933 --> 01:07:08,233 yeah, yeah. Third party. I was 1853 01:07:08,233 --> 01:07:12,266 going to say like, damn. If you have a 1854 01:07:12,266 --> 01:07:13,866 proper third party, I don't 1855 01:07:13,866 --> 01:07:16,966 know. It's we have so many 1856 01:07:16,966 --> 01:07:20,566 different verification processes like AYC 1857 01:07:20,566 --> 01:07:23,699 and stuff like that. That 1858 01:07:23,699 --> 01:07:27,266 this is inevitably going to 1859 01:07:27,300 --> 01:07:30,433 happen. But this is definitely not a good 1860 01:07:30,433 --> 01:07:32,366 track record that they 1861 01:07:32,366 --> 01:07:33,766 just started doing this and it 1862 01:07:33,766 --> 01:07:36,599 leaked. Yeah, it's been a few weeks. Like 1863 01:07:36,599 --> 01:07:38,866 you can measure it in weeks. 1864 01:07:39,433 --> 01:07:40,866 They're definitely going to 1865 01:07:40,866 --> 01:07:43,066 have to secure that shit. I'm still of 1866 01:07:43,066 --> 01:07:44,166 the opinion, like they have 1867 01:07:44,166 --> 01:07:45,766 opt in kind of stuff like I'd 1868 01:07:45,766 --> 01:07:48,699 rather have opt in with like online 1869 01:07:48,699 --> 01:07:49,933 gaming and a lot of other 1870 01:07:49,933 --> 01:07:51,500 stuff to where I'm like, yeah, 1871 01:07:51,933 --> 01:07:53,966 if I can opt in, that's who I play with 1872 01:07:53,966 --> 01:07:56,266 is people that are verified. Sure. 1873 01:07:57,699 --> 01:07:59,666 But to force it on everyone. 1874 01:08:00,300 --> 01:08:03,900 I'm not a fan of that. Yeah. 1875 01:08:05,266 --> 01:08:08,833 It's you know, it this just goes to show 1876 01:08:08,833 --> 01:08:10,433 that like it's not enough 1877 01:08:10,433 --> 01:08:11,466 for like a government to 1878 01:08:11,466 --> 01:08:14,133 just say, oh, you guys need to like 1879 01:08:14,133 --> 01:08:15,233 implement age controls. 1880 01:08:15,633 --> 01:08:17,966 Like if they want age controls, 1881 01:08:18,066 --> 01:08:20,699 they have to provide a secure system that 1882 01:08:20,699 --> 01:08:22,133 is ubiquitous, that 1883 01:08:22,133 --> 01:08:23,633 that provides a baseline, 1884 01:08:24,466 --> 01:08:26,466 you know, and then there could be, you 1885 01:08:26,466 --> 01:08:28,766 know, private entities that do 1886 01:08:28,766 --> 01:08:30,233 something on top of that. But 1887 01:08:30,233 --> 01:08:33,466 like just this just proves that like 1888 01:08:33,466 --> 01:08:35,300 these companies cannot be 1889 01:08:35,300 --> 01:08:36,833 trusted with your private 1890 01:08:36,966 --> 01:08:40,833 information, you know, I it's so 1891 01:08:40,833 --> 01:08:42,766 difficult to like use the Internet now 1892 01:08:42,766 --> 01:08:43,533 because I don't want 1893 01:08:43,533 --> 01:08:46,500 my shit to get leaked.

But yeah, that's also 1897 01:08:53,266 --> 01:08:54,333 another thing I think on 1898 01:08:54,333 --> 01:08:56,266 users is that you probably 1899 01:08:56,399 --> 01:08:59,066 should be always being diligent on your 1900 01:08:59,066 --> 01:09:00,766 stuff being leaked because 1901 01:09:00,766 --> 01:09:02,533 it will eventually happen. 1902 01:09:03,466 --> 01:09:05,333 I mean, heck, if you touched PlayStation 1903 01:09:05,333 --> 01:09:07,766 at all, your stuff's gone. 1904 01:09:09,066 --> 01:09:10,699 How many leaks they've had.

it. 2723 01:38:19,866 --> 01:38:21,466 Oh, man, I wish I could do Bender. 2724 01:38:21,733 --> 01:38:22,766 Bender is such a great voice. 2725 01:38:24,233 --> 01:38:24,600 Rapping. 2726 01:38:25,366 --> 01:38:28,966 Now we're going to. 2727 01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:30,866 You guys auditioning 2728 01:38:30,866 --> 01:38:32,133 for voice acting now. 2729 01:38:33,300 --> 01:38:34,833 Now that you know an A.I. can do it. 2730 01:38:35,300 --> 01:38:36,399 What auditioning, man. 2731 01:38:37,133 --> 01:38:40,133 Oh, strong man. 2732 01:38:40,533 --> 01:38:40,766 Yeah. 2733 01:38:41,666 --> 01:38:42,233 It's anyway. 2734 01:38:43,366 --> 01:38:46,199 So so how does this work? 2735 01:38:46,199 --> 01:38:48,566 It's just like a digital A.I. actress 2736 01:38:48,566 --> 01:38:50,433 gets injected into like movies. 2737 01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:53,466 Well, all I know is that 2738 01:38:53,466 --> 01:38:55,233 A.I. talent studio Sequoia. 2739 01:38:55,466 --> 01:38:56,466 That's how you pronounce it, by the way. 2740 01:38:57,933 --> 01:39:01,633 I think Sequoia owns this 2741 01:39:01,633 --> 01:39:03,666 character, not even a character. 2742 01:39:03,866 --> 01:39:05,633 They own a quote unquote actress. 2743 01:39:06,233 --> 01:39:09,966 And I would imagine they're using A.I. to 2744 01:39:09,966 --> 01:39:10,933 like, I don't know if 2745 01:39:10,933 --> 01:39:11,500 they're going to like 2746 01:39:11,500 --> 01:39:12,733 put her against it. 2747 01:39:13,066 --> 01:39:14,366 Fuck. 2748 01:39:14,833 --> 01:39:16,699 Now I have no idea how this even works. 2749 01:39:17,566 --> 01:39:17,766 Okay. 2750 01:39:18,066 --> 01:39:19,966 So my understanding is that this is 2751 01:39:19,966 --> 01:39:21,133 basically Hatsune 2752 01:39:21,133 --> 01:39:23,300 Miku, but like for acting. 2753 01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:24,533 Yeah, dude. 2754 01:39:24,533 --> 01:39:25,766 But this is yeah. 2755 01:39:26,033 --> 01:39:27,333 Here's the thing that Hatsune Miku was 2756 01:39:27,333 --> 01:39:29,833 like ancient technology at this point. 2757 01:39:29,833 --> 01:39:30,899 It's like 20 years old. 2758 01:39:31,366 --> 01:39:31,800 Yeah, I know. 2759 01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:32,466 But this is it's basically the same thing. 2760 01:39:33,433 --> 01:39:36,133 But like it's an A.I. puppet rather than 2761 01:39:36,133 --> 01:39:40,100 a, you know, whatever Hatsune Miku uses. 2762 01:39:41,833 --> 01:39:44,566 So I could see them using the epic engine 2763 01:39:44,566 --> 01:39:46,866 because there's a lot of new TV shows and 2764 01:39:46,866 --> 01:39:49,600 movies that use it now and use a lot of 2765 01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:50,666 green screening and they 2766 01:39:50,666 --> 01:39:52,233 could probably pretty easily 2767 01:39:52,233 --> 01:39:53,166 inject her in. 2768 01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:54,000 Yeah. 2769 01:39:54,100 --> 01:39:54,300 Yeah. 2770 01:39:54,466 --> 01:39:55,733 But we use her likeness 2771 01:39:55,733 --> 01:39:57,000 since she's not a real person. 2772 01:39:57,933 --> 01:39:59,566 No, she's a copyrighted thing. 2773 01:39:59,933 --> 01:40:00,233 Yeah. 2774 01:40:00,233 --> 01:40:02,166 Oh, but like, can we like make slight 2775 01:40:02,166 --> 01:40:04,699 adjustments to it and then say we can 2776 01:40:04,699 --> 01:40:06,433 call her Nilly Torward. 2777 01:40:08,433 --> 01:40:09,033 Yeah, you could. 2778 01:40:09,533 --> 01:40:11,766 Should I look at one of the A.I. services 2779 01:40:11,766 --> 01:40:13,466 and I can probably make something. 2780 01:40:14,166 --> 01:40:16,033 We'll have her on as a guest. 2781 01:40:16,533 --> 01:40:17,366 Oh, God. 2782 01:40:20,366 --> 01:40:22,566 We are not generating our guests. 2783 01:40:23,266 --> 01:40:25,266 Dude, that would be so awesome. 2784 01:40:25,266 --> 01:40:26,133 I'm not going to lie. 2785 01:40:26,133 --> 01:40:26,733 I'd do it. 2786 01:40:26,733 --> 01:40:28,633 I couldn't do it very often. 2787 01:40:29,366 --> 01:40:31,533 But and all we would do 2788 01:40:31,533 --> 01:40:33,266 is like insult the A.I. 2789 01:40:33,466 --> 01:40:33,666 guest. 2790 01:40:33,899 --> 01:40:35,366 I know we'd probably I probably get death 2791 01:40:35,366 --> 01:40:36,733 threats online from her. 2792 01:40:36,733 --> 01:40:37,699 So I don't know. 2793 01:40:38,899 --> 01:40:45,033 But I mean, former quote unquote, A.I. 2794 01:40:45,033 --> 01:40:45,833 quote unquote artist, 2795 01:40:46,300 --> 01:40:48,199 whom says that all of the big studios are 2796 01:40:48,199 --> 01:40:49,366 working on the assistant projects. 2797 01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:50,533 But of course, she can't 2798 01:40:50,533 --> 01:40:52,566 specify which ones are generated. 2799 01:40:53,233 --> 01:40:55,500 The question is, can you even tell at 2800 01:40:55,500 --> 01:40:57,266 this point if Hollywood's behind it? 2801 01:40:59,033 --> 01:40:59,433 Yes. 2802 01:41:00,966 --> 01:41:03,833 Stop paying these actors hundreds of 2803 01:41:03,833 --> 01:41:04,366 millions of dollars. 2804 01:41:04,366 --> 01:41:05,533 Just find someone that's 2805 01:41:05,533 --> 01:41:07,433 decently priced as a decent actor. 2806 01:41:07,433 --> 01:41:08,933 There's plenty of them and just pay them. 2807 01:41:09,233 --> 01:41:11,366 And there's plenty of older movies, too. 2808 01:41:11,366 --> 01:41:13,166 I mean, honestly, if all new movies suck, 2809 01:41:13,166 --> 01:41:14,366 why even bother, right? 2810 01:41:15,366 --> 01:41:16,633 That's the thing with movies, too. 2811 01:41:16,633 --> 01:41:18,133 People are more willing to accept 2812 01:41:18,133 --> 01:41:19,399 watching older movies, 2813 01:41:19,766 --> 01:41:20,800 but they're not willing to 2814 01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:22,966 accept playing a fucking NES game. 2815 01:41:24,166 --> 01:41:25,500 That's like ludicrous to me. 2816 01:41:26,500 --> 01:41:28,933 I guess that's proof that game that 2817 01:41:28,933 --> 01:41:31,300 gamers can't see games as art. 2818 01:41:32,066 --> 01:41:32,300 Right. 2819 01:41:33,233 --> 01:41:34,433 But no, there's tons of people. 2820 01:41:34,966 --> 01:41:37,133 Art is not the older like not everyone's 2821 01:41:37,133 --> 01:41:38,333 going to see art the same way. 2822 01:41:38,733 --> 01:41:39,566 Not everyone's going to go 2823 01:41:39,566 --> 01:41:40,866 back and watch old movies. 2824 01:41:41,333 --> 01:41:43,933 I do somewhat, but like I go back to the 2825 01:41:43,933 --> 01:41:44,733 90s and some of those 2826 01:41:44,733 --> 01:41:45,866 movies are pretty bad, though. 2827 01:41:46,433 --> 01:41:46,633 Yeah. 2828 01:41:48,166 --> 01:41:51,199 I mean, it's I can't say it's like a one 2829 01:41:51,199 --> 01:41:52,266 size fits all thing. 2830 01:41:52,566 --> 01:41:53,800 Like, yeah, when I was 2831 01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:54,800 growing up, my grandparents 2832 01:41:55,066 --> 01:41:59,033 had a museum of antique music machines, 2833 01:41:59,766 --> 01:42:01,533 which was really, really, really awesome. 2834 01:42:01,833 --> 01:42:03,500 So like, do you know 2835 01:42:03,500 --> 01:42:04,766 what a Nickelodeon is? 2836 01:42:04,766 --> 01:42:05,800 Not the TV channel. 2837 01:42:06,733 --> 01:42:08,366 I did not know that was 2838 01:42:08,366 --> 01:42:09,533 a thing that wasn't yet. 2839 01:42:10,199 --> 01:42:12,066 So Nickelodeon, the TV channel gets its 2840 01:42:12,066 --> 01:42:13,866 name from antique 2841 01:42:13,866 --> 01:42:15,866 jukeboxes before they had records. 2842 01:42:16,533 --> 01:42:19,399 And so these jukeboxes basically had 2843 01:42:19,399 --> 01:42:23,033 computers in them that 2844 01:42:23,033 --> 01:42:24,666 were powered by vacuum tubes. 2845 01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:26,600 And they had like little punch cards on 2846 01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:28,633 rolls that would like go 2847 01:42:28,633 --> 01:42:29,699 over these little holes 2848 01:42:29,833 --> 01:42:33,333 that were then there were like 2849 01:42:33,333 --> 01:42:35,566 instruments inside the Nickelodeon. 2850 01:42:36,133 --> 01:42:38,233 And the based on the the punch card 2851 01:42:38,233 --> 01:42:40,300 program, it would play the instruments. 2852 01:42:40,866 --> 01:42:41,766 OK, so like almost like 2853 01:42:41,766 --> 01:42:44,866 almost like a MIDI, almost like. 2854 01:42:45,133 --> 01:42:45,333 Yeah. 2855 01:42:45,566 --> 01:42:47,533 But the name piano role in 2856 01:42:47,533 --> 01:42:50,000 like a DAW comes from that. 2857 01:42:50,300 --> 01:42:51,966 Like those are called piano rolls. 2858 01:42:52,033 --> 01:42:52,766 Have you ever seen like 2859 01:42:52,766 --> 01:42:54,033 a player piano before? 2860 01:42:54,266 --> 01:42:54,899 It's like that. 2861 01:42:55,966 --> 01:42:58,533 And so anyway, I had a 2862 01:42:58,533 --> 01:42:59,433 reason for bringing this up. 2863 01:42:59,766 --> 01:43:03,233 Oh, but like so for me, like the 2864 01:43:03,233 --> 01:43:04,366 experience of going back 2865 01:43:04,366 --> 01:43:06,033 and playing like any games 2866 01:43:06,166 --> 01:43:08,500 or even Atari games is kind of the same 2867 01:43:08,500 --> 01:43:10,966 experience as me going back and listening 2868 01:43:10,966 --> 01:43:14,066 to like Nickelodeon music versus like 2869 01:43:14,066 --> 01:43:16,300 listening to like a recording, you know, 2870 01:43:16,300 --> 01:43:18,766 or like a studio produced song. 2871 01:43:19,199 --> 01:43:23,133 So I don't have a problem with going back 2872 01:43:23,133 --> 01:43:25,066 and playing these old games, but like 2873 01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:27,699 the the issue is going to be when this, 2874 01:43:28,566 --> 01:43:29,633 you know, when Tilly 2875 01:43:29,633 --> 01:43:32,766 Norwood becomes like, you 2876 01:43:32,766 --> 01:43:36,133 know, movies starring Tilly Norwood is 2877 01:43:36,133 --> 01:43:37,300 going to they're going to go. 2878 01:43:37,733 --> 01:43:39,233 They're going to become like unwatchable 2879 01:43:39,233 --> 01:43:41,733 because it's just going to 2880 01:43:41,733 --> 01:43:43,399 be like painfully obvious 2881 01:43:43,399 --> 01:43:46,833 how she's not like a real person. 2882 01:43:47,066 --> 01:43:47,699 It's going to fall into 2883 01:43:47,699 --> 01:43:47,966 uncanny valley, I think. 2884 01:43:48,733 --> 01:43:49,033 Yeah. 2885 01:43:49,933 --> 01:43:51,233 Yeah, it's going to be interesting. 2886 01:43:51,466 --> 01:43:52,266 I'll be honest. 2887 01:43:52,266 --> 01:43:53,866 I will watch a movie with this because 2888 01:43:53,866 --> 01:43:55,433 I'm just I'm a future 2889 01:43:55,433 --> 01:43:56,333 facing kind of person, 2890 01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,133 but I don't if they start putting this 2891 01:43:59,133 --> 01:44:00,333 person like in every move 2892 01:44:00,333 --> 01:44:03,100 this AI into every movie 2893 01:44:03,199 --> 01:44:05,000 or overdo it, then it's just going to 2894 01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:06,000 turn me off completely. 2895 01:44:06,566 --> 01:44:07,633 The novelty I'm 2896 01:44:07,633 --> 01:44:09,500 interested in beyond that, though. 2897 01:44:10,966 --> 01:44:11,666 So I'm going to save 2898 01:44:11,666 --> 01:44:12,633 him as head ass tape. 2899 01:44:12,666 --> 01:44:15,633 If you're going to seriously call 2900 01:44:15,633 --> 01:44:18,366 yourself a gamer, like unironically, 2901 01:44:19,466 --> 01:44:21,833 then you should be OK with going back and 2902 01:44:21,833 --> 01:44:22,866 playing older games. 2903 01:44:23,866 --> 01:44:25,300 There are many ways to play older games, 2904 01:44:25,300 --> 01:44:26,833 too, in case you can't 2905 01:44:26,833 --> 01:44:28,333 actually get access like old 2906 01:44:28,333 --> 01:44:28,800 hardware. 2907 01:44:30,066 --> 01:44:31,333 I would say learn how to watch it. 2908 01:44:31,766 --> 01:44:32,266 That's my head ass 2909 01:44:32,266 --> 01:44:34,633 tape, but it's

like four frames of it. 3020 01:48:25,333 --> 01:48:27,800 So very recently, though, very recently, 3021 01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:29,533 though, they disabled Nintendo characters 3022 01:48:29,533 --> 01:48:30,333 from being generated. 3023 01:48:30,666 --> 01:48:31,866 This is before they disabled it. 3024 01:48:32,333 --> 01:48:34,899 And as you can imagine, so apparently in 3025 01:48:34,899 --> 01:48:37,333 order for your IPs not be usable, 3026 01:48:38,233 --> 01:48:40,766 you as an IP holder have to contact them, 3027 01:48:41,033 --> 01:48:42,033 which I'm pretty sure that's not. 3028 01:48:42,366 --> 01:48:43,000 I don't think that's how 3029 01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:43,899 that's supposed to work. 3030 01:48:44,733 --> 01:48:47,733 No, but Nintendo did anyways. 3031 01:48:49,233

01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:04,533 Imagine if they made a horror movie based 3152 01:53:04,533 --> 01:53:07,666 on like how bad AI used to look. 3153 01:53:08,300 --> 01:53:09,266 Is this cyberpunk? 3154 01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:11,933 Yeah, so it's fully recreated. 3155 01:53:11,933 --> 01:53:15,766 It's recreated gameplay from AI. 3156 01:53:16,433 --> 01:53:17,533 You can see the HUD like 3157 01:53:17,533 --> 01:53:18,733 changes multiple times. 3158 01:53:19,333 --> 01:53:21,433 Yeah, I don't know if that background is 3159 01:53:21,433 --> 01:53:23,466 generated by AI, though. 3160 01:53:25,266 --> 01:53:25,966 What do you mean? 3161 01:53:27,366 --> 01:53:30,066 Meaning the gameplay itself, except for a 3162 01:53:30,066 --> 01:53:31,133 few things, seems like it 3163 01:53:31,133 --> 01:53:32,533 was probably heavily copied. 3164 01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:35,633 I mean, yeah, I mean, yeah, but you can 3165 01:53:35,633 --> 01:53:38,633 like recreate fake gameplay with AI, 3166 01:53:38,666 --> 01:53:42,800 which has saved me. 3167 01:53:44,166 --> 01:53:52,433 Yeah, the water just continues to fill up 3168 01:53:52,433 --> 01:53:54,133 slightly by itself after he stops. 3169 01:53:55,466 --> 01:53:55,666 Yeah. 3170 01:53:57,566 --> 01:53:59,399 The bottom air gets cut off like 3171 01:53:59,399 --> 01:54:01,366 entirely, which I'm pretty sure that's 3172 01:54:01,366 --> 01:54:02,333 not supposed to happen. 3173 01:54:03,300 --> 01:54:04,033 No, dude. 3174 01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:05,866 Yeah. 3175 01:54:06,166 --> 01:54:08,766 I mean, just imagine how many trees in 3176 01:54:08,766 --> 01:54:10,033 the rainforest have to get 3177 01:54:10,466 --> 01:54:13,399 killed to create produce this AI slot. 3178 01:54:13,399 --> 01:54:14,800 We still have trees in the rainforest. 3179 01:54:16,933 --> 01:54:18,366 Not anymore, we don't. 3180 01:54:18,366 --> 01:54:20,233 Definitely not enough. 3181 01:54:20,666 --> 01:54:23,233 Not enough to not enough to fulfill Sam 3182 01:54:23,233 --> 01:54:25,166 Altman's dream of being 3183 01:54:25,166 --> 01:54:27,133 immune to criminal activity 3184 01:54:27,133 --> 01:54:29,233 because he can say, oh, but it's AI. 3185 01:54:29,500 --> 01:54:30,166 It's all AI. 3186 01:54:32,500 --> 01:54:33,933 Imagine if he actually walked into a 3187 01:54:33,933 --> 01:54:35,333 store and pickpocketed something. 3188 01:54:35,533 --> 01:54:37,233 People could just say, oh, it's AI. 3189 01:54:40,300 --> 01:54:41,133 That's why we, 3190 01:54:41,133 --> 01:54:42,366 there's going to need more. 3191 01:54:42,366 --> 01:54:43,966 Oh my gosh, we do not have an 3192 01:54:43,966 --> 01:54:45,166 administration that's going to, 3193 01:54:45,166 --> 01:54:48,133 we need a whole arm on like detecting AI 3194 01:54:48,133 --> 01:54:49,533 fakes and certifying stuff. 3195 01:54:50,333 --> 01:54:50,533 Okay. 3196 01:54:51,033 --> 01:54:52,833 Listen to your audience. 3197 01:54:54,100 --> 01:54:55,933 This is probably one portion of the video 3198 01:54:55,933 --> 01:54:59,433 that you should watch on YouTube because 3199 01:55:00,633 --> 01:55:02,233 while we just watch a bunch of videos and 3200 01:55:02,233 --> 01:55:06,766 it's kind of hard to really grasp of what 3201 01:55:06,766 --> 01:55:09,766 we're seeing unless you watch it as well. 3202 01:55:10,466 --> 01:55:10,666 Yeah. 3203 01:55:10,966 --> 01:55:14,533 I mean, what we just watched was pretty 3204 01:55:14,533 --> 01:55:15,899 convincing if you 3205 01:55:15,899 --> 01:55:17,633 weren't paying close attention. 3206 01:55:18,433 --> 01:55:20,633 For an ad, I will say for that ad, 3207 01:55:20,933 --> 01:55:21,833 Epstein won, even though it was a parody, 3208 01:55:23,266 --> 01:55:25,633 I will say anyone that is an actor or 3209 01:55:25,633 --> 01:55:27,199 voice actor is going to 3210 01:55:27,199 --> 01:55:29,033 be royally screwed in the 3211 01:55:29,033 --> 01:55:29,399 near future. 3212 01:55:29,666 --> 01:55:32,633 I think for ads, it's just going to make 3213 01:55:32,633 --> 01:55:34,333 sense for these companies just to do this 3214 01:55:34,333 --> 01:55:36,266 because they'll be much cheaper and no 3215 01:55:36,266 --> 01:55:37,033 one really pays 3216 01:55:37,033 --> 01:55:38,633 attention to most ads nowadays. 3217 01:55:39,166 --> 01:55:40,833 Well, here's the crazy part though. 3218 01:55:42,266 --> 01:55:42,966 People go on strike 3219 01:55:42,966 --> 01:55:44,966 and actors have success. 3220 01:55:44,966 --> 01:55:45,633 I think they should go 3221 01:55:45,633 --> 01:55:46,800 back on strike to be honest. 3222 01:55:47,666 --> 01:55:47,866 Yeah. 3223 01:55:48,833 --> 01:55:49,933 They probably will. 3224 01:55:49,933 --> 01:55:51,033 If I were an actor, I'd 3225 01:55:51,033 --> 01:55:52,133 probably go on strike too. 3226 01:55:53,066 --> 01:55:53,266 Yeah. 3227 01:55:53,766 --> 01:55:55,533 It's just why we need unions all around. 3228

3286 01:57:44,633 --> 01:57:45,600 That's how bad it's gotten. 3287 01:57:49,066 --> 01:57:50,433 Like his back pain is insane. 3288 01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:53,333 It's kind of crazy to think about artists 3289 01:57:53,333 --> 01:57:54,300 getting physical pain 3290 01:57:54,333 --> 01:57:56,266 when you have people in construction that 3291 01:57:56,266 --> 01:57:57,333 risk their lives every

01:58:02,633 cases where this happens. 3296 01:58:02,633 --> 01:58:03,433 And if AI just... 3297 01:58:06,433 --> 01:58:07,333 I don't know what to tell you. 3298 01:58:07,333 --> 01:58:07,866 I don't

01:58:24,266 I'm sorry, but the future is 3310 01:58:24,266 --> 01:58:27,666 very bleak in a lot of ways. 3311 01:58:30,633 --> 01:58:30,833 Yeah. 3312 01:58:30,866 --> 01:58:32,533 You've heard of the grim dark universe. 3313 01:58:33,233 --> 01:58:35,033 We live in the grim shit universe. 3314 01:58:38,133 --> 01:58:39,233 Is it worse? 3315 01:58:40,433 --> 01:58:40,933 I don't know. 3316 01:58:40,966 --> 01:58:45,500 It definitely... 3317 01:58:47,066 --> 01:58:49,233 I just remembered when AI used to... 3318 01:58:49,266 --> 01:58:51,266 The whole idea behind AI used to be that 3319 01:58:51,266 --> 01:58:53,166 they were like sentient life forms. 3320 01:58:53,166 --> 01:58:53,500 They were basically 3321 01:58:53,500 --> 01:58:55,199 like people, but like... 3322 01:58:55,600 --> 01:58:55,933 Robots. 3323 01:58:57,133 --> 01:58:57,399 And like... 3324 01:58:57,399 --> 01:58:58,566 That's technically why AI is supposed to 3325 01:58:58,566 --> 01:58:59,566 be artificial intelligence. 3326 01:59:00,533 --> 01:59:00,733 Yeah. 3327 01:59:00,866 --> 01:59:02,066 Well, I guess people are 3328 01:59:02,066 --> 01:59:03,366 just naturally stupid, right? 3329 01:59:06,566 --> 01:59:07,233 I guess. 3330 01:59:08,666 --> 01:59:09,266 I mean, fucking... 3331 01:59:09,833 --> 01:59:12,666 We affixed the term AI to list what 3332 01:59:12,666 --> 01:59:14,800 really it should be machine learning. 3333 01:59:15,800 --> 01:59:17,133 A lot of it is machine learning. 3334 01:59:17,666 --> 01:59:18,633 There's a couple aspects. 3335 01:59:18,633 --> 01:59:18,966 There's a lot... 3336 01:59:19,233 --> 01:59:21,800 AI is a very complex issue and there's... 3337 01:59:22,266 --> 01:59:23,866 In order to actually have artificial 3338 01:59:23,866 --> 01:59:26,566 intelligence, there's a lot of different 3339 01:59:26,866 --> 01:59:28,966 modular pieces that go into making like 3340 01:59:28,966 --> 01:59:31,433 us, who we are intelligent. 3341 01:59:32,100 --> 01:59:32,966 And so, yeah. 3342 01:59:36,133 --> 01:59:36,366 Yeah. 3343 01:59:36,433 --> 01:59:38,433 They haven't changed the term because 3344 01:59:38,433 --> 01:59:40,766 people had to 3345 01:59:40,766 --> 01:59:44,766 essentially monetize AI as a term. 3346 01:59:45,033 --> 01:59:45,933 And that's where we're at now. 3347 01:59:48,433 --> 01:59:50,133 I just can't wait till this era of AI 3348 01:59:50,133 --> 01:59:51,666 ends where they have to fix the term 3349 01:59:51,666 --> 01:59:53,300 AI to every single product. 3350 01:59:54,266 --> 01:59:54,466 Fucking... 3351 01:59:55,100 --> 01:59:59,333 Rise in AI plus Max. 3352 02:00:00,399 --> 02:00:01,633 395 plus. 3353 02:00:03,533 --> 02:00:04,966 Who knows if it will... 3354 02:00:06,533 --> 02:00:08,533 Did you get it right? 3355 02:00:09,199 --> 02:00:09,866 Yeah, did I get it right? 3356 02:00:10,666 --> 02:00:11,533 I don't know. 3357 02:00:12,233 --> 02:00:13,866 It's too long to remember anymore. 3358 02:00:13,866 --> 02:00:16,133 Like that's the models and naming 3359 02:00:16,133 --> 02:00:18,833 conventions should be easy 3360 02:00:18,833 --> 02:00:22,833 for the buyer or anyone using it 3361 02:00:23,033 --> 02:00:23,866 to remember. 3362 02:00:24,600 --> 02:00:25,066 This is... 3363 02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:27,066 We have gone off the 3364 02:00:27,066 --> 02:00:28,966 deep end on naming stuff. 3365 02:00:29,366 --> 02:00:33,033 Like if us PC gamers and PC builders and 3366 02:00:33,033 --> 02:00:36,366 tech guys sometimes get this shit wrong, 3367 02:00:37,033 --> 02:00:38,699 then what about the regular consumer? 3368 02:00:39,199 --> 02:00:40,266 How the hell do they 3369 02:00:40,266 --> 02:00:40,966 don't stand a chance? 3370 02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:42,833 That's the problem. 3371 02:00:43,133 --> 02:00:44,466 So they'll just go buy a pre-made... 3372 02:00:44,800 --> 02:00:45,466 At the end of the day, 3373 02:00:45,466 --> 02:00:46,133 it doesn't even matter. 3374 02:00:46,133 --> 02:00:47,366 I don't know why they named this stuff. 3375 02:00:47,933 --> 02:00:48,699 It doesn't matter 3376 02:00:48,699 --> 02:00:49,466 because the normal person, 3377 02:00:49,733 --> 02:00:51,233 like the average person's gonna go and 3378 02:00:51,233 --> 02:00:53,233 buy a pre-made and not really understand 3379 02:00:53,233 --> 02:00:53,733 what they're getting. 3380 02:00:54,633 --> 02:00:55,466 Like sometimes that's 3381 02:00:55,466 --> 02:00:56,300 kind of the point though. 3382 02:00:56,300 --> 02:00:57,833 Yeah, like sometimes Apple gets it wrong 3383 02:00:57,833 --> 02:00:59,533 with like the pros and the 3384 02:00:59,533 --> 02:01:02,133 pluses and the pro maxes. 3385 02:01:02,733 --> 02:01:04,033 But sometimes they get it right. 3386 02:01:04,266 --> 02:01:04,466 They sometimes... 3387 02:01:04,766 --> 02:01:05,433 Like the M1. 3388 02:01:05,433 --> 02:01:06,033 It's still simple. 3389 02:01:06,633 --> 02:01:08,933 It's still drastically more simple. 3390 02:01:09,233 --> 02:01:12,566 And their GPUs and their CPUs are based 3391 02:01:12,566 --> 02:01:14,233 off of core accounts typically. 3392 02:01:14,233 --> 02:01:16,633 They're like, it's the M4 and then you 3393 02:01:16,633 --> 02:01:17,933 can have up to 40 cores, 3394 02:01:17,933 --> 02:01:20,033 let's say in the MacBook Pro. 3395 02:01:20,666 --> 02:01:24,066 I think that's much easier to understand 3396 02:01:24,066 --> 02:01:25,466 than what AMD is doing. 3397 02:01:28,866 --> 02:01:30,300 And I'm sure it's not the investors 3398 02:01:30,300 --> 02:01:31,666 saying to these guys, 3399 02:01:31,666 --> 02:01:34,899 "Oh, you need to make these names have 3400 02:01:34,899 --> 02:01:36,233 the word AI and like 3401 02:01:36,233 --> 02:01:37,333 the fucking throw off 3402 02:01:37,333 --> 02:01:39,366 the naming product schemes of products." 3403 02:01:39,766 --> 02:01:40,600 Definitely investors 3404 02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:41,766 like AI being injected. 3405 02:01:42,066 --> 02:01:42,366 It will... 3406 02:01:43,100 --> 02:01:44,733 Putting AI into anything will make your 3407 02:01:44,733 --> 02:01:46,266 stock go up a little bit. 3408 02:01:47,600 --> 02:01:48,566 That's like proven. 3409 02:01:52,166 --> 02:01:52,766 Here's the thing. 3410 02:01:52,866 --> 02:01:53,933 I'm probably part of the 3411 02:01:53,933 --> 02:01:55,766 problem because I don't mind AI. 3412 02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:56,533 I like AI. 3413 02:01:58,233 --> 02:01:59,933 But I don't like it. 3414 02:01:59,933 --> 02:02:00,500 I like a demo... 3415 02:02:00,733 --> 02:02:03,399 I want it to be democratized more and not 3416 02:02:03,399 --> 02:02:05,033 have it be in the hands of 3417 02:02:05,033 --> 02:02:06,433 just like a select few people 3418 02:02:06,433 --> 02:02:09,133 because this is going to end poorly. 3419 02:02:10,366 --> 02:02:10,566 Yes. 3420 02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:11,233 Yeah. 3421 02:02:11,733 --> 02:02:15,699 AI is cool in a few ways. 3422 02:02:15,699 --> 02:02:19,766 The new version of Audacity is going to 3423 02:02:19,766 --> 02:02:24,199 have open model weights from Intel in it. 3424 02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:25,933 And you'll be able to 3425 02:02:25,933 --> 02:02:28,866 generate music, generate audio, 3426 02:02:29,833 --> 02:02:32,033 and do noise reduction with 3427 02:02:32,033 --> 02:02:33,633 it, which is freaking awesome. 3428 02:02:33,866 --> 02:02:35,566 And it's all run locally on your machine. 3429 02:02:36,266 --> 02:02:38,533 The same goes with DaVinci Resolve. 3430 02:02:38,833 --> 02:02:41,033 All of the models are run 3431 02:02:41,033 --> 02:02:42,333 locally on your machine. 3432 02:02:42,733 --> 02:02:43,600 If you could run... 3433 02:02:45,366 --> 02:02:50,266 I have a machine, a GPU in my server that 3434 02:02:50,266 --> 02:02:52,466 is doing image 3435 02:02:52,466 --> 02:02:54,300 categorization in my next cloud. 3436 02:02:54,600 --> 02:02:55,233 That's all great. 3437 02:02:55,533 --> 02:02:58,033 But as soon as it's being gate kept by 3438 02:02:58,033 --> 02:02:59,166 these huge corporations 3439 02:02:59,166 --> 02:03:01,266 that cannot be trusted, 3440 02:03:02,966 --> 02:03:03,566 that's when it 3441 02:03:03,566 --> 02:03:05,366 becomes dangerous, I think. 3442 02:03:06,433 --> 02:03:07,500 I agree with you, James. 3443 02:03:07,500 --> 02:03:09,133 I think democratization is key. 3444 02:03:10,666 --> 02:03:11,133 Well, thankfully 3445 02:03:11,133 --> 02:03:12,766 DeepSeek is open source, right? 3446 02:03:14,433 --> 02:03:15,533 Not really. 3447 02:03:16,466 --> 02:03:16,666 No. 3448 02:03:17,399 --> 02:03:19,866 I mean, it has some open weights, but 3449 02:03:19,866 --> 02:03:21,833 they're kind of truncated compared to... 3450 02:03:22,166 --> 02:03:22,933 What's the term? 3451 02:03:22,933 --> 02:03:23,500 Not truncated. 3452 02:03:25,533 --> 02:03:29,600 The open weights are a reduced precision. 3453 02:03:29,966 --> 02:03:31,800 I don't remember what the term is. 3454 02:03:32,399 --> 02:03:32,600 Interesting. 3455 02:03:32,933 --> 02:03:34,166 Oh, I thought that was 3456 02:03:34,166 --> 02:03:35,433 the whole selling point. 3457 02:03:35,433 --> 02:03:38,766 It was a lighter model that was also kind 3458 02:03:38,766 --> 02:03:39,733 of open source almost. 3459 02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:42,733 Well, it's hard to make an AI 3460 02:03:42,733 --> 02:03:45,399 open source because not only... 3461 02:03:45,933 --> 02:03:47,966 You have to make all of the training data 3462 02:03:47,966 --> 02:03:51,300 not available, but 3463 02:03:51,300 --> 02:03:54,066 ethical in order for it to be 3464 02:03:54,433 --> 02:03:55,033 open source. 3465 02:03:55,266 --> 02:03:57,300 And so I don't think DeepSeek was trained 3466 02:03:57,300 --> 02:03:58,333 ethically, and I don't 3467 02:03:58,333 --> 02:04:00,600 think that their full 3468 02:04:01,033 --> 02:04:02,633 weights have been published. 3469 02:04:04,633 --> 02:04:05,166 That makes sense. 3470 02:04:05,966 --> 02:04:06,166 Yeah. 3471 02:04:06,300 --> 02:04:06,733 Oh, well. 3472 02:04:07,566 --> 02:04:10,066 AI is still one category. 3473 02:04:10,066 --> 02:04:14,233 I'm still not fully into. 3474 02:04:14,633 --> 02:04:16,500 Like, I just don't fully... 3475 02:04:17,033 --> 02:04:17,800 I guess I just don't 3476 02:04:17,800 --> 02:04:19,300 fully get it just yet. 3477 02:04:19,500 --> 02:04:20,866 I think eventually I will 3478 02:04:20,866 --> 02:04:23,033 be, but only time will tell. 3479 02:04:23,766 --> 02:04:26,899 Truthfully, if AI can be used to help 3480 02:04:26,899 --> 02:04:29,433 save creatives time, 3481 02:04:30,266 --> 02:04:31,600 that's when it's useful and 3482 02:04:31,600 --> 02:04:32,033 that's when it's 3483 02:04:32,033 --> 02:04:33,866 interesting, and that's when it's good. 3484 02:04:34,366 --> 02:04:37,366 But everything else about AI is garbage. 3485 02:04:37,866 --> 02:04:39,433 If it's just posting... 3486 02:04:40,733 --> 02:04:41,833 If it's just flooding 3487 02:04:41,833 --> 02:04:42,833 the internet with shit. 3488 02:04:43,866 --> 02:04:47,033 If it's being used to manipulate people. 3489 02:04:47,933 --> 02:04:48,433 If it's... 3490 02:04:48,699 --> 02:04:48,899 Yeah. 3491 02:04:49,366 --> 02:04:50,966 There's just so much wrong 3492 02:04:50,966 --> 02:04:53,933 with the way AI is being used. 3493 02:04:55,699 --> 02:04:56,199 It's... 3494 02:04:56,566 --> 02:04:58,333 Here's the problem too. 3495 02:04:58,533 --> 02:05:01,066 For me, I use it and it saves me a lot of 3496 02:05:01,066 --> 02:05:02,699 time that I can spend with my kids. 3497 02:05:02,699 --> 02:05:03,166 I spend a little bit 3498 02:05:03,166 --> 02:05:04,100 more time with my kids now. 3499 02:05:04,766 --> 02:05:07,600 That for me is invaluable because then I 3500 02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:08,133 can get some of the 3501 02:05:08,133 --> 02:05:09,133 stuff I need to done on a 3502 02:05:09,133 --> 02:05:10,966 creative level, and then I 3503 02:05:10,966 --> 02:05:12,000 can spend more time with them. 3504 02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:12,399 But it's not... 3505 02:05:12,699 --> 02:05:14,066 It also does bother me that 3506 02:05:14,066 --> 02:05:15,899 it's still not very ethical. 3507 02:05:16,333 --> 02:05:17,500 Have you guys seen... 3508 02:05:18,633 --> 02:05:20,566 Did I show you my Kezeta video? 3509 02:05:22,366 --> 02:05:23,133 Can you hear this? 3510 02:05:24,033 --> 02:05:24,933 Guys, I just finished... 3511 02:05:24,933 --> 02:05:26,433 I think you told us about this. 3512 02:05:26,433 --> 02:05:28,233 Yeah, you told us about this a while ago. 3513 02:05:29,066 --> 02:05:29,366 I did. 3514 02:05:29,699 --> 02:05:30,733 So basically, I'll tell 3515 02:05:30,733 --> 02:05:31,533 the story again real quick. 3516 02:05:31,766 --> 02:05:33,600 I was holding my phone like this, right? 3517 02:05:34,233 --> 02:05:36,300 And to do that intro part. 3518 02:05:36,800 --> 02:05:38,800 And I was covering the microphone. 3519 02:05:39,166 --> 02:05:39,666 Oh no. 3520 02:05:40,166 --> 02:05:42,066 So it was like this really muffled thing. 3521 02:05:42,066 --> 02:05:43,466 You could still hear what I was saying, 3522 02:05:43,466 --> 02:05:44,366 but it sounded like shit. 3523 02:05:44,566 --> 02:05:46,166 I didn't have time to rerecord it. 3524 02:05:46,766 --> 02:05:50,466 I had already trained DaVinci's AI model 3525 02:05:50,466 --> 02:05:52,033 on one of my old videos. 3526 02:05:52,566 --> 02:05:55,500 So I had a model of my own voice that I 3527 02:05:55,500 --> 02:05:56,500 had trained previously. 3528 02:05:57,066 --> 02:06:00,166 I just right clicked on the audio clip 3529 02:06:00,166 --> 02:06:03,833 for this handheld portion right here. 3530 02:06:04,766 --> 02:06:08,433 I generated my own voice over top of it. 3531 02:06:09,033 --> 02:06:10,733 And if you listen to this... 3532 02:06:10,733 --> 02:06:11,233 There's a number of reasons. 3533 02:06:11,766 --> 02:06:13,733 But the first is because it's 3534 02:06:13,733 --> 02:06:14,733 basically indistinguishable. 3535 02:06:15,266 --> 02:06:16,833 Nobody knew in the comments, 3536 02:06:17,233 --> 02:06:18,266 even though I said it here, 3537 02:06:19,933 --> 02:06:21,600 that's the cool shit 3538 02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:22,833 that you can do with AI. 3539 02:06:23,033 --> 02:06:24,300 And I really love that. 3540 02:06:26,166 --> 02:06:26,866 It does sound interesting. 3541 02:06:27,233 --> 02:06:28,833 Yeah, I blew my mind when I first started 3542 02:06:28,833 --> 02:06:30,466 because you had us preview it before. 3543 02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:31,300 And I was like... 3544 02:06:31,300 --> 02:06:31,699 That's right. 3545 02:06:31,699 --> 02:06:32,366 Oh yeah, I sent it to 3546 02:06:32,366 --> 02:06:33,199 you guys in Discord. 3547 02:06:33,199 --> 02:06:33,500 That's right. 3548 02:06:33,733 --> 02:06:34,199 Yeah, like an earlier 3549 02:06:34,199 --> 02:06:35,266 version of that video. 3550 02:06:35,800 --> 02:06:36,000 Yeah. 3551 02:06:37,266 --> 02:06:39,100 I've had to regenerate some audio too. 3552 02:06:39,133 --> 02:06:42,000 But I didn't do it with DaVinci Resolve. 3553 02:06:42,333 --> 02:06:44,933 But now that I have a copy that I can, I 3554 02:06:44,933 --> 02:06:46,766 will try to do that more. 3555 02:06:46,766 --> 02:06:48,000 But I've done it with 3556 02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:50,366 Descript and it was very convenient 3557 02:06:50,399 --> 02:06:51,033 because I didn't have 3558 02:06:51,033 --> 02:06:51,833 to rerecord something. 3559 02:06:52,266 --> 02:06:55,266 Yeah, but people are using AI for their 3560 02:06:55,266 --> 02:06:56,600 own nefarious purposes. 3561 02:06:56,600 --> 02:07:00,399 For example, there was someone that was 3562 02:07:00,399 --> 02:07:02,500 using AI to generate 3563 02:07:02,500 --> 02:07:03,933 cosplay photos of themselves 3564 02:07:04,566 --> 02:07:06,366 and selling those photosets because 3565 02:07:06,366 --> 02:07:08,233 that's what cosplayers do online. 3566 02:07:08,233 --> 02:07:10,699 And one of my cosplayer 3567 02:07:10,699 --> 02:07:12,933 friends, she got really mad. 3568 02:07:13,333 --> 02:07:15,000 She got really pissed off because she 3569 02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:17,199 does actual cosplay 3570 02:07:17,199 --> 02:07:18,600 yourself and it's kind of crazy. 3571 02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:21,233 Damn. 3572 02:07:21,966 --> 02:07:22,166 Yeah. 3573 02:07:22,366 --> 02:07:24,366 So I guess at the end 3574 02:07:24,366 --> 02:07:26,433 of the day, AI is a tool. 3575 02:07:27,133 --> 02:07:29,066 It's just a matter of who is using it. 3576 02:07:29,066 --> 02:07:30,566 And obviously the people trying to use it 3577 02:07:30,566 --> 02:07:31,933 to scam other people. 3578 02:07:32,233 --> 02:07:35,500 Like AI artists online trying to pretend 3579 02:07:35,500 --> 02:07:37,100 like they're making actual art. 3580 02:07:37,533 --> 02:07:38,366 Obviously, it's just a 3581 02:07:38,366 --> 02:07:39,666 matter of greed, to be honest. 3582 02:07:40,600 --> 02:07:40,800 Yeah. 3583 02:07:41,666 --> 02:07:41,866 Yeah. 3584 02:07:42,866 --> 02:07:43,833 That's definitely one 3585 02:07:43,833 --> 02:07:44,733 thing that we need to fix. 3586 02:07:45,033 --> 02:07:46,633 And there's a lot of different ways to do 3587 02:07:46,633 --> 02:07:47,399 that, but I don't know 3588 02:07:47,399 --> 02:07:47,933 if it's going to happen. 3589 02:07:49,300 --> 02:07:49,500 Yeah. 3590 02:07:49,933 --> 02:07:51,433 I'd love to know what everyone in the 3591 02:07:51,433 --> 02:07:52,633 audience thinks about AI. 3592 02:07:52,866 --> 02:07:54,333 Because I've seen lots of 3593 02:07:54,333 --> 02:07:55,600 different varying opinions. 3594 02:07:56,433 --> 02:07:58,199 And I'm curious, you 3595 02:07:58,199 --> 02:07:59,633 guys, leave us a comment. 3596 02:08:00,100 --> 02:08:00,933 You can interact with 3597 02:08:00,933 --> 02:08:02,166 the show on the Fetaverse. 3598 02:08:03,966 --> 02:08:05,100 You can follow us on the
