EU Cloud Wars, Copyright & Chaos
welcome to another episode of cloud
unplugged we have quite a varied set of
stories this week we've got um
The Trump administration invested in
quantum computing.
We'll kind of come on to that,
but basically they're getting shares,
investing in these companies,
not just offering grants.
We've got Google,
who does a bit of a joint venture
on their TPUs as a data center,
which we'll come on to.
Google suspended Railway's account,
causing an outage for Railway Paz service.
Singapore has got a floating data centre,
or is about to.
There was a bit of a weird,
interesting thing with Waymo,
which is one of my random stories,
and another bit of a random story about
robots that you've got,
which we'll obviously save to the very
end.
But let's get cracking on the old quantum
because this is not something I talk much
about in general because, well,
because I just actually don't understand
it.
So I don't really have strong opinions on
it.
But generally speaking,
them investing in quantum,
so I think that's what Trump was
announcing,
like there was a Biden act that was
set up called the CHIPS Act.
like,
two hundred and eighty billion dollars of
investment.
I think there were grants, though,
not necessarily investments.
They were obviously just granting out the
money for basically more around the
silicon industry or semiconductor
industry.
The Trump administration, though,
changed the model because it's, you know,
the old Trumpo.
He wants something back in return.
Nothing's for free.
And he
now gets equity basically so they're
investing all these different companies um
i think they've liked an ibm global
foundries d wave quantum uh regetti etc
dirac so they're kind of spreading
their bets.
So it looks like from an investment
perspective,
into lots and lots of quantum computing
organizations to see which one wins.
And that's kind of just quite an
interesting thing that they're deciding is
the way to go probably,
I'm guessing globalization,
I don't know what you think around it,
but the fight against China,
maybe or other states and trying to get
their first as a dominant power,
but what's your take?
So before I start,
I have to say this famous quote from
a professor from Stanford.
He's teaching a class on quantum physics.
And the first lecture when he starts,
he says, at this moment in time,
I'm the only person in this room who
doesn't fully understand quantum.
But at the end of this course,
I promise you,
none of us will understand quantum
physics.
So when you say you don't understand
quantum, there's a famous professor.
You can check this on YouTube.
He talks about it.
You understand it.
I believe you're like pretty quantumed up.
Quantum.
Yeah, it was injected in my veins.
So quantum computing, of course,
it's been since we've been growing up.
I know it's way before your time, John.
Since we've been growing up,
it's been an older hoo-ha about how
quantum can change computing instead of
like bits zero and one.
You can have various states and you can
interlink these qubits and they can
process things quicker,
which I don't know if you're aware.
john uh a lot of work has been
done in machine learning as well trying to
see if on quantum computing machine
learning algorithms can be much more
efficient than gpus so perhaps that's
something you know the rage is all about
ai at the moment
Perhaps there's something in the future,
maybe the administration is betting that
in future it's going to,
whenever the technology is ready,
it will accelerate whatever we're doing.
Because right now the silicon and most of
the chips,
they're coming from Taiwan and GPUs are
coming from USA.
So perhaps the Trump administration backed
by, I'm pretty sure it's,
I don't know too much,
but if it's backed by anybody behind that,
I think they're trying to invest in it.
So if and when quantum computing
becomes huge they will have a advantage on
other companies right because if a
government has a stake in a company they
can control it this yeah private could
like right now if you let's look at
anthropic and open ai they can do whatever
they want they can they can say this
model that does the best programming
nobody will get it
Exactly,
and that's why we can't really talk about
this anymore, Salman.
So let's move on to another story because,
no,
I can't disclose a share's ownership in my
company,
but I do think we need to move
on to another news article.
I'm just obviously joking.
But, yeah,
you're absolutely spot on on the influence
they can yield on these companies.
But also, I guess, you know, it's...
could argue, I mean,
everyone says it's a bit cheesy thing to
say or a bit of a standard thing
to say,
but it is a bit of an arms
race because technology is the thing being
used almost in warfare from drones through
to obviously just psychological warfare
and cyber-based warfare.
So
To want to get ahead,
that's where they seem to be investing.
And I think you're spot on on that
actually being able to control to an
extent those companies because you're
investing in them is a move in itself.
Bit of a conflict of interest,
one might say, but yeah.
might be the right thing for the citizens
right because now you control it it
doesn't rely on a private board of members
to be like oh we'll decide what we
what we're going to do at some to
some extent the government will have to
have an agreement and what needs to happen
in these companies so yeah as you said
let's just leave that there yeah marxist
over there i didn't realize
uh giving you both sides of the argument
john that's what yeah yeah yeah but when
we've got anyway our flights of russia's
coming up now so should we uh uh
yeah so uh do you want to talk
about um i guess because that's exhausted
our knowledge of quantum that's all we've
got on that space so uh shall we
move on to the floating data center in
singapore this is quite an interesting i
think i think you know about this
Yeah, picture this, John.
Picture this.
You walk onto the beachfront.
You expect to see the water crashing onto
the shores,
the nice sound that you want to see.
You turn to your left and you see
a floating city,
not just any floating city,
a warehouse that's there,
that's capable of consuming twenty five
megawatts of power at any given instant.
That is a situation that's going to be
in Singapore because Singapore has so,
there's so many restrictions on land.
There's not enough space.
There's a company called Capo who decided
to build a data center next to the
sea.
I mean,
it's not too far from the shore.
It's quite close to the sea.
And it uses seawater and sits on seven
and a half thousand square meter of ocean.
That's huge area,
seven and a half thousand.
square meter it took them a long time
to get an approval for the proposal but
it will go live in and you know
it will go live in and uh of
course there's some logistics that needs
to be sorted out which we can talk
about in a second um but uh this
is what's happened of course there's some
other companies who've done this to some
extent in the past but you know what
is your take on that john
I don't really know.
I mean, it seems a bit dystopian,
I've got to admit,
as in it's not an image, you know.
I wouldn't be, like,
wanting to fly to Singapore because I want
to look at the beautiful sight of a
floating data centre.
And also,
it just ecologically does kind of concern
me a little bit if you're using the
SIFI.
I don't know exactly how the technology,
as in how they call and what impact
that has.
cause any actual environmental impact?
Do they actually know that?
Or they're just, you know,
I don't really know what the ramifications
are on this type of approach,
but do you know much about that,
like ecologically?
Yeah, they've done,
they've done feasibility studies,
of course, you know, and let's not forget,
let's not forget.
This is, yes,
this is like one of the biggest data
centers that's going to be on the sea.
But we already do some stuff out in
the ocean, you know, you have oil rigs,
right?
And you have, you have the wind turbines,
they're all there.
So
to some extent,
some of this issue has been solved.
And the power consumption of this data
center is kind of similar to a big
offshore oil rig in the first place
anyway.
So they have done some studies.
But there's been ecological studies on
those, haven't they?
You know, the impact,
environmental impacts on those is quite
high and significant.
So adding to them feels wrong to me.
But, you know, I don't know, like,
a technology from a advancement
perspective it's impressive and also to be
built to be able to build it so
quick it's insane to be able to say
you're going live in twenty twenty eight
with it it's like mental isn't it to
have all that figured out yeah they've
been added since twenty nineteen with the
design and feasibility studies
uh but yeah of course there's going to
be ecological impact but singapore doesn't
really have too much option in terms of
land space yeah they don't really have
that much land and of course as always
i know sovereignty is is a big topic
i know we talked about it as well
in the podcast last time around singapore
is trying to they're at the they're at
the cutting edge as well of technology so
because they don't have that in space
they're like okay maybe we can go to
the sea and then also there are people
do talk about this instead of using water
like fresh water or consumable water
perhaps they can use sea water and that's
the plan to cool uh the data centers
and these data centers do require a lot
of cooling and um
Yeah, so it is an interesting one.
We'll watch out for this.
And if it works economically,
because there's not those land constraints
for Singapore,
do you even care if your data center
is in the middle of a desert,
is on the sea?
Of course, just like other ventures,
most of the data centers have their eco
rating.
We'll probably find out what the eco
rating for this is.
yeah it's it's an interesting space and
you know because they don't have that much
land space they've gone to this hopefully
hopefully though i know twenty twenty
eight i'm looking forward to it hopefully
it'll be smooth sailing because there will
be of course salt corrosion storms
resilience they need to handle that also
power logistics yes the power needs to
come back and forth still
What people are saying is,
what Singapore is saying,
the future of cloud is floating.
And you could say... Yeah,
but why not do the building?
It does feel like, you know,
from a construction perspective and
thermodynamics perspective and heating and
things like that,
but the buildings that they're building,
you know,
and I know NVIDIA has done this,
that's what we were talking about last
time,
about their investment on turning your
home into a bit of a mini data
centre,
but it does kind of feel like that
is probably the right... I mean,
if you're thinking about optimisation
of...
infrastructure power um trying to create a
bit of a symbiotic relationship between
compute and heating your home or etc etc
then maybe you want to go down that
direction anyway and get into the housing
market or somehow manage for the
governments to
weave that in as a strategy so that
actually you've got more distributed
compute that isn't then taking up more
space on top of the buildings that are
already being built does feel like a
better strategy than building
more things that require more power um to
then run things that humans are running
anyway if you see what i mean so
it's like you're basically running the
same things as other people request so
yeah put it maybe in the homes or
put it in the offices or you know
Yeah, actually, spot on, John.
There's some companies here in Europe.
There's a company,
I forgot the name of it.
We can probably put in the show notes
later.
They go to leisure centers and swimming
pools and find space there to put their
racks
because of the water recycling that needs
to go in and whatnot,
because they have that space,
they have this is going on.
But the problem with this is distributed
brings in way more challenges.
Right.
And also space again becomes a bit of
an issue.
But this is not new, by the way,
John, in twenty twenty four.
And even before there's a company in USA
called Nautilus Data Technologies,
they've done a similar thing in
California.
They have a six and a half megawatt,
kind of half the power of what this
is going to be,
data center that is in California.
But they're selling it because they want
to move away from this kind of stuff.
So, yeah, hopefully, you know,
it will be smooth sailing for Singapore
and they'll sort out all the issues with
the floating data centers,
with storm resilience and corrosion.
And then you can say the future of
the cloud is floating and sky is no
longer the limit.
maybe the ocean is perhaps you know that's
that's it that's what happened i love uh
i do love to swim next to a
data center it's one of my favorite things
to do to be honest um it's really
just a really nice experience you should
try it so um that's a little a
little thing for people to try if they
really want an amazing experience go and
swim next to a data center nothing can
beat such a beautiful sight than swimming
next to data center um but talking about
data centers
We're talking about the joint venture of
Google with Blackstone, a PE company,
private equity,
who has invested with Google, I think,
five billion or something for the TPU,
so their own chips.
I guess they're kind of going toe to
toe now in the video.
and now trying to resell obviously their
compute in a different way by obviously
offering their chips kind of essentially
reselling their chips um but yeah kind of
a little bit different i guess also quite
interesting for them google to offset
their capex spend um obviously it's not
coming out of their pockets directly we
now got investment in there as a joint
venture which obviously takes away that
capex expenditure i think um not to go
a bit on a tangent but
reason for all the layoffs which i won't
go into too much it's not part of
the news story but i think meta announced
eight thousand and et cetera et cetera was
to do with offsetting the capex spend so
they say that they've all started to
invest in ai um so anyway what do
you think about the the tpus we have
to kind of discuss this a bit before
but what's your opinion on this move
Yeah,
we spoke about the AWS move as well
with Tranium chips.
Because as we spoke about last time,
a couple of podcasts ago,
make sure to check it out on our
channel, wherever you get your podcasts.
Because NVIDIA has such a stronghold on
training, producing, and using AI chips,
the GPUs that they have,
So AWS and also Google,
they have their own chips which work
differently to how GPUs work.
TPUs work different to how GPUs work.
TPUs are very good at doing the matrix
calculations because GPUs initially
started as multipurpose, right?
But this is very specific to TPU.
And the problem right now for Google and
AWS is they want their market share
because people do use
these tpu chips but only exclusively in
cloud you can actually john i don't even
come across this there's a little dongle
you can buy that you can connect it
to your laptop and use the tpus otherwise
you just have to use in google cloud
you don't know you don't have any other
option right but what they're trying to do
with this is kind of compete with nvidia
and say oh we'll give this they're called
the eight t and the eight i the
training and the inference chips
that they are going to sell to end
users so you can actually get that chip
and plug it into your machine.
Because the reason why Nvidia is so
popular with their chips, of course,
they've been in the game for way longer,
is because when you were younger,
you buy a GPU connected to your machine
and you start playing games.
and it's the same like you have to
install kudo on your on your machine for
it to work anywhere in the first place
right so people are in the ecosystem so
and yeah it's interesting of course it's a
big venture with uh with with uh
blackstone one of the big private equity
firms and they've been in infrastructure
business for a long time and
uh data center they actually own
warehouses i don't know if you know this
john blackstone is the the biggest owner
of warehouses in the whole world so they
are i think they're quite they've got
quite a lot of assets haven't they they're
like an asset-based business uh in pe i
think yeah
Yeah.
And I think if yeah,
if if people could Jax is that Google's
equivalent of CUDA, which is Nvidia,
of course, you know,
it's not as popular as CUDA,
the technology that allows you to use GPUs
to submit training and whatnot.
But I think the good thing is that
the end users hopefully will
We'll profit from this because things
might get cheaper,
but they don't usually get cheaper.
It'll probably be more expensive,
but you'll have options.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
I guess all the optimization with CUDA,
though,
all that that's gone on around NVIDIA
chips to optimize for model training and
things like that and to kind of leverage,
I guess,
specific kernel libraries really for the
chips themselves,
all will have to be potentially
redone or at least because obviously the
tpu usage is way less at the moment
than obviously using the video and gpu so
um be an interesting thing to see if
the investment as in do people get on
board with it do people start to want
to uh rework some of the optimization code
that already exists is that investment
going to happen in people's time being i
guess
Who knows,
are people just going to want to move
forward to more abstracted things and
leverage those rather than like getting
low level again?
uh yeah i don't know i mean if
you know if if it gives you value
if it's cheaper for you to do and
you're already in google people still
people do use tpus of course but not
the same yeah that is just really makes
sense percentage wise it's small
comparatively it's in the video it's very
very small yeah um yeah but yeah it's
a it's an interesting space it is it
is uh talking about google um
know a bit controversial but i don't know
if you know railway it's a bit like
the sale railway kind of like past based
heroku-esque inspired style businesses
where you can host applications you don't
need to worry about the infrastructure i
think it obviously runs in google behind
the scenes of creating an abstraction over
it um to make it really simple for
developers obviously just host simple
things um quite quickly
And I believe Google just decided to
suspend Railway's account,
which meant that they went offline
completely.
So the whole of Railway had an outage.
All their customers had an outage.
And then after they kind of restored the
service.
So I think the account was suspended and
then it kind of managed to get it
back up.
Then it had to enable all the services
again.
Then GitHub,
obviously because it had a bit of a
backlog of integration from GitHub into
Railway,
obviously doing the webhooks and things
like that probably as triggers into
Railway to maybe like build images and
push them and things like that from the
webhook.
That started to obviously rate limit
against Railway.
And so then that was another issue.
And so I think it took a really
long time overall for everything to kind
of come back and restore the service.
And I think what was funny,
was,
I don't know if it's the CEO or
the CTO, one of them from Huawei,
kind of blamed themselves a little bit on
basically not having a multi-cloud style
strategy and then obviously backing into
Google as a whole,
which is an interesting stance to take
rather than being like,
don't suspend an account for no reason on
Google's side, which is, you know,
but anyway.
a little bit mad that you could just
go offline.
For those reasons.
Yeah, I can't I can't getting suspended.
I'm not.
I'm not sure what the internal processes
of account getting suspended.
I wonder
AI decided to delete an account and
there's no human approval before you
delete an account.
Do you think an MCP for account deletion
got called and made a little mistake or
something?
They got called.
I don't know.
I'm not saying anything.
But yeah, I mean,
the weird thing is accounts getting
deleted is nothing new.
We've seen before.
Some of the companies have been impacted
by it.
uh but uh this one is a little
bit weird for me and i and i
understand what the ceo or the cto of
railway was saying that perhaps we should
have a multi-cloud strategy for this but
then there's a lot of investment that you
need to do yeah you know it's it's
huge it's it's like it's basically like oh
let me just spin up my also you
you could go even further i'll just have
my own data center on the sea
floating right so you can go even like
where do you stop so uh i think
this this this really is uh you know
railway should not be too harsh on itself
of course there's a lot of revenue loss
that they were saying i think million
dollars an hour or something which is
quite a lot that's terrible um but google
yeah that's what i mean
it was an x i don't know how
true that is it was an x so
was it people people are saying there's
million dollars uh an hour or something or
a day i can't fully remember which is
quite a lot that's a lot of revenue
though if that's true it's a lot of
revenue but you can imagine people have to
do demos or you know whatever you you
have work that's happening which is kind
of kind of tricky so uh i think
we need to get an understanding from
google on what are their terms of how
they delete
I haven't seen a post-mortem report yet,
but it'll be interesting to see that.
So it is a bit of a shame
because you expect, just like electricity,
the cloud to be there.
Well,
you don't expect your account to get
suspended.
I mean,
you expect potentially something going
wrong technically.
SLAs, yeah, downtime.
Database has gone down.
Database has gone down.
No worries.
There's an SLA, whatever the SLA is.
Oh, Kubernetes cluster has gone down.
Sorry, my bad.
Kubernetes never goes down.
Yeah, I mean,
you need to take that back immediately.
That is a really ridiculous thing to just
go out and say.
What the hell?
I can't get it deleted.
That's unfortunate.
That's unfortunate.
That's what you should post as a response
to Railway.
A very empathetic, that's unfortunate.
It is bad.
I'll answer the random story.
I don't know if you've heard about this,
about the Waymo taxis.
There's actually something in the UK about
this as well, but not quite the same,
where
It may have been people in Wales,
you know,
where they were getting woken up at night
by the robo taxis going up and down
their street repeatedly at like a certain
time.
But anyway,
this story is about Waymo taxis taking
over a cul-de-sacs.
So they're just starting to invade
basically cul-de-sacs in neighborhoods.
I think this is in Atlanta.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they,
no one's really admitted as to why they're
doing it,
but I think it was something to do
with obviously some algorithmic thing that
ends up being pretty much the same answer
for all of the way modes,
whatever's calculating.
So they end up kind of going to
the colder stacks.
I think it's more to do with during
pauses,
like where less busy places are to kind
of park up until obviously a request comes
in or something like that.
But anyway,
There was like,
fifty cars that came through between six
and seven AM.
Can you imagine that?
Fifty Waymo cars arriving in your
cul-de-sac with nobody in them.
You'd think that something like,
I don't know,
iRobot level stuff was about to go down,
wouldn't you?
You'd probably lock the doors and close
your curtains or something.
But yeah,
and then I think they tried to do
different things.
So then like people are like, oh God,
we need to just stop.
And so they put like a, a,
a children at play sign up on the
road.
Right.
To try and like,
to make them stop coming down.
Cause obviously they'd seen and be like,
oh, right.
There's children.
And that just caused a massive traffic jam
because then they were trying to reverse
and they're all coming down.
They all got stuck.
Um,
and they're basically created a jam and
jammed up the entire coldest app.
And so they had to remove the sign,
but, um, yeah.
Waymo's.
Waymo's going a bit crazy.
Driverless taxis.
Driverless taxis.
Have you done a driverless taxi?
Actually, I almost did it in,
funnily enough, in Atlanta.
I was in Atlanta for KubeCon last year.
I almost did it.
But when I checked the app,
it wasn't available.
It was like, fifteen minutes away.
And I was like, well,
I could walk in eight minutes.
So I don't need to take a taxi.
But it looks a bit surreal.
I think I probably will do it for
this podcast anyway the next time.
They are in London now,
so next time we're in London,
we should just take a Waymo taxi.
I don't think I've seen any in London.
Is it Waymo itself, or is it robo-taxis?
I'm not sure, actually.
I think they're coming soon.
Or maybe we can go to Atlanta, John,
and check out the cul-de-sac.
Because London would be a very hard place
to...
Because it's not on a grid system like
most US-based cities are.
We've got all really old,
crazy little streets,
especially in the central,
like the city itself.
There's loads of back lanes and weird
little one-way things.
It's like, I just don't know why,
but I'm a bit cynical of whether it
can do a good job on driving through
those crazy streets.
But we'll see.
As long as there's no cul-de-sacs,
I think they'll be fine.
Yeah, well,
so long as you don't get fifty outside
your house.
Yeah, fifty outside your house.
It's not really worth looking for.
What about you and your actual robots?
So, Bob, Frank, Gary and Rose.
Four humanoid robots.
There's a company called Figure AI.
Figure AI is a company.
They have a humanoid robot.
F.O.O.T.
is what it's called.
so what they decided to do they said
oh we need to because one of the
issues in warehouses is handling packages
of different shapes and sizes because this
is a pro long issue that's been out
there for from vision point of view and
also handling point of view the people
have done a lot of work with different
type of attachments to
actual robots not humanoids but what we've
realized is the human hands are the best
type of attachments you can have to handle
various types of boxes so this company is
based in california san jose
what they decided to do is to give
these humanoids a a human face they gave
themselves this name they actually just
stuck the sticker on and it was a
live stream in which this robot would
stand and the in front of the conveyor
belt which you can watch and various boxes
will come one off the other and the
robot only has a couple of seconds to
just sort out the boxes like put them
in the right way if they're upside down
put it straight just so it can be
scanned
down the down wherever it's going next
right so there's about the robots were
supposed to work for eight hours in as
a group one person is one sorry not
person but bob is standing an interesting
little accidental slipper though isn't it
what's i know
AI is getting to me, John.
That's what I'm telling you.
Bigger AI is getting to me.
So Bob would stand and sort out the
packages.
And here's the interesting part.
When Bob is running out of battery,
because you run out of battery,
it will go back to where Frank, Gary,
and Rose are standing and communicate with
them with facial gestures that, mate,
it's your turn.
And then the other robot will come in
and start doing the sorting.
And they were supposed to do it only
for eight hours,
but it was going so well.
And the company said there was no
intervention from their staff.
was doing so well they let they left
the stream to run for eighty one hours
and they managed to sort a hundred
thousand orders correctly now what does
correctly mean and can you can they do
way more than just that i know they
were just doing sorting but there's
nothing about packaging there's nothing
about any of that stuff right or is
the label even correct but
What they showed is that robots can work
together without the need for them to send
messages to each other and just use visual
cameras and figure out what to do.
So basically, the thing also,
naming them Bob, Gary, Frank, and Rose,
it makes it as a...
You know, it's better live stream,
basically, because in live stream,
you need some interaction from people and
say, yeah, go, Bob.
You can see it like, you know,
it's interesting, though,
about the naming.
Is it like this is going to sound
quite a bizarre thing to say,
but it it shows a level of class
system that they've done on the work that
they were doing because they didn't call
them Joffrey or Tarquin or right.
So of all the names they've chosen,
They've chosen specific names like Bob,
Frank, Gary and Rose.
You know,
they could have gone with Chelsea.
They could have gone with, you know,
I don't know.
I've run out of Quinton.
Maybe that's another name.
And maybe... They sound like US...
It doesn't sound like US names.
They sound like UK names as well,
don't they, really?
I mean, I know, obviously,
universal names, but they're like...
ones that I would expect to hear in
the UK.
Here's the thing, though.
They did this.
Eighty one hour shift.
supposed to only work for eight hours so
bob gary frank and rose didn't get any
overtime paid right this is what people
have been telling us about robots they can
do this work without overtime or the need
for an hr department to figure out and
handle this right so this is i know
it's it's it's not too random right this
is this is a bit insane
yes of course there's a lot of work
that's left that needs to be done for
you know logistics but it is well what's
crazy about a little bit is on one
side you've got like the kind of general
intelligence movement which is taking like
you know developers coding like tertiary
sector stuff you know it requires like a
specific um skill computing in general
And everyone's like, oh, you know,
we're all going to have to do like
manual jobs.
We need to go back maybe into like
being electricians or other things.
And then you hear this, you know,
and you're like, well,
you can't even do that.
You've got the bloody robots coming up.
So you're like,
I don't know what we're all doing.
You're like, well, I don't know.
Maybe I'll become a taxi driver.
You've got fifty Waymos in your cul-de-sac
with no drivers in.
You can't work in warehouses.
You can't write code anymore.
I don't know what you turn to.
I don't know where you go,
what you do,
what the job market is going to look
like to you.
I have an answer for you.
Right.
Do it.
Tell me.
The answer is quantum AI Kubernetes.
That's the answer.
Quantum AI Kubernetes.
Kubernetes is...
I mean,
I don't know where Kubernetes will fit in
to the future of quantum,
but that'll be an interesting one.
But it is a bit mad because I
wouldn't have thought the robotics side
would have progressed quite as quick.
I know they've been doing all the
omniverse stuff again with the video on
all the simulations for robotics for a
really long time, but they can just bob.
I mean,
if you had to ask one of them,
to pack something for you,
who would you choose out of Bob, Frank,
Gary and Rose?
Which one would you choose?
I saw Bob on the stream.
I think Bob was like the main protagonist
for this.
Right.
Bob got,
I almost called it he as well, right?
Look at this.
They're playing, figure it out, he got me.
Yeah, it's got me.
So you think Bob was the ringleader?
Bob was the ringleader.
Bob did most of the sorting.
And when Bob went, I'll figure out,
I'll find out how many hours.
But I think I'll go with Bob.
Because...
there's a there's a skate on uh uh
i can't remember where it is there's a
surgeon who comes to speak to somebody and
like you know he says hi my name
is bob and i'm your surgeon so bob
uh has a connotation of being something
trustworthy i think that's why they chose
these names right perhaps yeah interesting
i just remember bob um god what was
this fight club do you remember fight club
I'll leave that there because when you
research Bob from Fight Club,
it's got its own comedy value to it,
I guess, when you have an amazing movie.
But anyway, cool.
So I guess we have covered most of
the stories.
We'll be back next week.
probably more on ai we might have to
try and find something a little bit less
ai i mean it's hard nowadays which is
insane to cover stories that aren't all
about ai but we'll we'll do our best
to try and see what's going on in
the news to kind of balance it out
a bit uh to not make it so
ai heavy but that seems to be where
everything's going isn't it yeah we'll
find something john we'll find something
we'll find something but anyway yeah
thanks for listening and we shall speak to
you next week cheers
