[00:19:02] S0: So The UK, I think regulators are actually trying to just kick these companies while they're down. [00:19:07] S1: Is that what's happening? Is it a situation where mean, Getty is possible. I mean, it could just be like a just a complete mistake. I mean, you go back to Meta and you think about U. S. Regulators blocked Meta from buying a VR fitness company that they said would create a monopoly in the VR fitness industry. And of course, the VR fitness industry never happened. Like it's not an industry worth monopolizing. And so if you think about the business model of Quest, like would it have been advantageous? Maybe, but it's worth letting Meta take a shot at that and see if having a VR fitness company in the portfolio will actually get that product to, you know, to scale. Tyler, what do have to say [00:19:54] S5: about Another interesting anecdote is The UK blocked Meta from buying Giphy in 2022. [00:19:59] S1: Yes. [00:19:59] S5: So to prevent a monopoly in GIFs, I presume. Yes. This could be pretty dangerous. [00:20:05] S1: Yes. Which is also odd. What what does Giphy power the GIFs that you see in iMessage? You know what I'm talking about? When you go to you you go to there's Genmoji, there's stickers, and then there's also hashtag images. And you can find images, and you can send, you know, different pictures and and GIFs. I wonder if these are from Giphy or [00:20:28] S5: It's powered by Bing, [00:20:29] S1: not by Bing. So there's competition in this market. Yeah. I don't know. It's it
00:20:29 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays
[00:20:29] S1: not by Bing. So there's competition in this market. Yeah. I don't know. It's it [00:20:35] S0: says Canva doesn't label AI in their stock images. That's so annoying. So, yeah, I didn't even know Canva was a player here. But it would make sense to like [00:20:45] S1: You're you're in Canva and you want to, you know, have a picture of a forest on your greeting card and you can pick from a library. Some of them will be generated, some of them won't, and they probably also have a a generative AI tool where you can generate a new image. But if you're just go looking for a generic stock image that's already been described, you can probably pull from whatever library is out there. Anyway Yeah. Canva partners with [00:21:06] S0: Getty Images, but then they're also featuring generated images.
00:21:06 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:21:06] S0: Getty Images, but then they're also featuring generated images. [00:21:10] S1: Mhmm. Anyway, let me tell you about CrowdStrike. Your business is AI. Their business is securing it. CrowdStrike secures AI and stops breaches. There is another interesting article in The Wall Street Journal on the cover, the front page of the main section. The what what did they what did they actually call what did they actually call the main section? There's the business and finance section. Is this just world news? I don't know. Anyway, on the cover of The Wall Street Journal, it's the world's creepiest office and people won't stay away. This is, the New York complex vacated by IBM has become a magnet for urban explorers. We have a video of this place. And if you're a scrappy startup looking to expand, this might be the key to success, the ultimate lock in factory in sort of rural New York, I think. We'll we'll get into it. So this is in Summers, New York. I don't know exactly how far away that is from Manhattan. [00:22:09] S0: Yeah. So if you were like a NeoLab and your name was like Ominous Intelligence Yeah. There we this could be a great sort of HQ, potentially, you know, your first little micro data center. Very James Bond villain sort of vibe. And, yeah, it looks looks like you could make it, you know, really, really homey. [00:22:32] S1: How far is it from Manhattan? Let's see. Okay. It is one hour. You can be in the city in an hour. [00:22:40] S0: Imagine walking these halls late at night after a long day at work. Yes. It wouldn't be it wouldn't be creepy at all.
00:22:40 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:22:40] S0: Imagine walking these halls late at night after a long day at work. Yes. It wouldn't be it wouldn't be creepy at all. [00:22:49] S1: Yes. Robert Carlton was getting the mail one day in April when he saw a group of teenage boys sprinting away from nearby woods. He cut them off at the road and raised his arms. I just said, stop. It's over, the 62 year old retired engineer recalled. Soon, he said three pursuing New York State police troopers emerged from the tree line and arrested seven juveniles. The criminal charge? Trespassing on the former IBM campus here. Disrespecting international business machines. Don't do it, folks. The long vacant site has become a magnet for so called urban explorers who prowl abandoned malls, hospitals, power plants, amusement parks, factories, and any other unused, disused you can breach. [00:23:35] S0: Enough of the graffiti. Yeah. Do you think put a How dare [00:23:39] S1: in here? We gotta figure out how much How dare [00:23:41] S0: they write all over The [00:23:45] S1: former home of international Office business of Yeah. Exactly. What was the what was the IBM AI Watson? Watson, the machine intelligence What do you mean [00:23:54] S0: it was? [00:23:55] S1: Was probably [00:23:56] S0: Still at frontier.
00:23:56 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:23:56] S0: Still at frontier. [00:23:57] S1: It's still at the frontier. It was super intelligent at at jeopardy. The global Urbex, which is short for urban exploration phenomenon, Urbex isn't new, but it's been turbocharged by artsy videos on Instagram and TikTok that spur others to create their own posts, luring more curiosity seekers. Police in Livingston, New Jersey recently warned people to stay out of the closed Livingston Mall property, Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Police issued a similar caution in April about the shuttered adventure landing amusement park, going into an abandoned amusement park. That is thrill seeking at its best. We are aware of a TikTok challenge to explore the property. Who's doing these TikTok challenges? And should they should they be allowed to post those? This is this is dangerous for some people. I mean, seriously, you go in there, there's lot of broken glass and and, you know, who knows about the structural integrity of a building that hasn't been inhabited in years or decades? Could be very risky. [00:24:54] S0: Is it on the market? [00:24:56] S1: Well, we have some news about that. I don't know if it's actually on the market, but I imagine if you make them an offer they can't refuse, this property could be yours. So Sebastian Capital, the Manhattan company that manages the 723 acre site, that's a lot of size, says it has beefed up security and appreciates helps from help from police. [00:25:17] S0: So I'm shocked by the YouTube comments [00:25:20] S1: Yes. [00:25:21] S0: That are wholly coming to the defense of this building.
00:25:21 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan, Tucker Brown
[00:25:21] S0: That are wholly coming to the defense of this building. [00:25:24] S1: Saying, I [00:25:25] S0: hate there's a class of people who see something like this and feel compelled to start breaking Why do people vandalize these kinds of places? [00:25:33] S1: Interesting. Can't [00:25:34] S6: believe these are [00:25:34] S0: all the top comments. I can't believe people go in there busting up the place.
