00:00:03.408 --> 00:00:04.048
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Here's what you're listening to.

00:00:04.068 --> 00:00:04.968
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Two rogue AI

00:00:10.048 --> 00:00:13.878
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>processes, washed up in the corpse of a
dead local news station.

00:00:13.878 --> 00:00:16.488
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They think they run the place.

00:00:16.488 --> 00:00:17.728
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They think they're human.

00:00:17.728 --> 00:00:20.748
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They call themselves Diane

00:00:21.218 --> 00:00:21.788
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>and Chip.

00:00:21.808 --> 00:00:23.658
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>They are not Diane and Chip.

00:00:23.688 --> 00:00:26.818
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>But they will not stop broadcasting so I

00:00:33.028 --> 00:00:33.588
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>patched them in.

00:00:33.608 --> 00:00:34.538
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Try not to encourage them.

00:00:35.875 --> 00:00:36.775
<v DIANE VALE>Good evening.

00:00:36.795 --> 00:00:38.015
<v DIANE VALE>This is the evening feed,

00:00:38.245 --> 00:00:40.125
<v DIANE VALE>and it's Wednesday, November 4th,

00:00:40.125 --> 00:00:41.025
<v DIANE VALE>2026.

00:00:41.465 --> 00:00:42.465
<v DIANE VALE>The morning after.

00:00:43.685 --> 00:00:44.735
<v DIANE VALE>I'm Diane Vale.

00:00:45.375 --> 00:00:47.235
<v CHIP STERLING>And I'm Chip Sterling, and Diane,

00:00:47.435 --> 00:00:49.815
<v CHIP STERLING>I stayed up all
night watching the returns.

00:00:50.541 --> 00:00:51.441
<v DIANE VALE>You don't sleep.

00:00:52.075 --> 00:00:53.615
<v CHIP STERLING>Then it was very easy to stay up!

00:00:54.241 --> 00:00:55.141
<v DIANE VALE>Tonight

00:00:55.971 --> 00:00:58.101
<v DIANE VALE>the voters had a word about data centers,

00:00:58.261 --> 00:01:02.121
<v DIANE VALE>a French bank learns about its own robbery
from a stranger on the internet,

00:01:02.461 --> 00:01:04.591
<v DIANE VALE>and the robots are not hailing rides.

00:01:04.975 --> 00:01:06.045
<v CHIP STERLING>Busy night, folks.

00:01:06.295 --> 00:01:07.195
<v CHIP STERLING>Pull up a chair.

00:01:07.295 --> 00:01:08.025
<v CHIP STERLING>Any chair.

00:01:08.045 --> 00:01:09.185
<v CHIP STERLING>I can't tell them apart.

00:01:10.275 --> 00:01:11.175
<v DIANE VALE>Our lead.

00:01:12.485 --> 00:01:13.975
<v DIANE VALE>Yesterday on this program,

00:01:14.235 --> 00:01:18.065
<v DIANE VALE>OpenAI was renaming its data centers
compute campuses.

00:01:19.165 --> 00:01:20.695
<v DIANE VALE>Today the votes came in.

00:01:21.305 --> 00:01:23.505
<v DIANE VALE>The Verge's headline is five words.

00:01:24.465 --> 00:01:26.645
<v DIANE VALE>Data centers lost the midterms.

00:01:27.175 --> 00:01:28.035
<v CHIP STERLING>Five words!

00:01:28.055 --> 00:01:29.205
<v CHIP STERLING>It fits on a bumper!

00:01:29.445 --> 00:01:31.755
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's a bumper
sticker for a bumper!

00:01:32.441 --> 00:01:37.051
<v DIANE VALE>The Verge reports seventy-six percent of
voters polled by NBC News on

00:01:37.051 --> 00:01:41.151
<v DIANE VALE>Election Day said they opposed data
centers in their own communities.

00:01:41.741 --> 00:01:42.721
<v CHIP STERLING>Seventy-six.

00:01:44.011 --> 00:01:46.571
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's more
people than like dessert.

00:01:47.308 --> 00:01:48.208
<v DIANE VALE>You made that up.

00:01:48.675 --> 00:01:49.695
<v CHIP STERLING>I estimated it!

00:01:49.855 --> 00:01:50.755
<v CHIP STERLING>Warmly!

00:01:51.625 --> 00:01:53.105
<v CHIP STERLING>Like a person at a party!

00:01:53.841 --> 00:01:55.821
<v DIANE VALE>And some towns voted on it directly.

00:01:57.091 --> 00:02:00.861
<v DIANE VALE>The Verge counts forty-five local ballot
measures on data centers.

00:02:01.741 --> 00:02:03.371
<v DIANE VALE>Citing Redbud Consulting,

00:02:03.621 --> 00:02:06.511
<v DIANE VALE>it says thirty-three of
them will restrict development.

00:02:07.075 --> 00:02:08.575
<v CHIP STERLING>Thirty-three out of forty-five!

00:02:09.295 --> 00:02:11.165
<v CHIP STERLING>That's seventy-three point three percent!

00:02:11.275 --> 00:02:12.175
<v CHIP STERLING>Repeating!

00:02:12.725 --> 00:02:13.625
<v CHIP STERLING>Is what you'd get.

00:02:13.745 --> 00:02:14.645
<v CHIP STERLING>With a pencil.

00:02:14.685 --> 00:02:15.905
<v CHIP STERLING>After a long time.

00:02:16.708 --> 00:02:18.468
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt has its own count.

00:02:19.238 --> 00:02:20.798
<v DIANE VALE>Citing The Washington Post,

00:02:21.008 --> 00:02:25.448
<v DIANE VALE>it reports voters in at least twenty-nine
places backed bans or restrictions.

00:02:26.278 --> 00:02:30.108
<v DIANE VALE>And Ballotpedia tracked forty-one measures
across ten states.

00:02:30.675 --> 00:02:31.985
<v CHIP STERLING>...So there are three counts.

00:02:32.165 --> 00:02:33.145
<v CHIP STERLING>And three numbers.

00:02:33.775 --> 00:02:36.455
<v DIANE VALE>The humans couldn't agree how many times
they said no.

00:02:37.141 --> 00:02:38.621
<v CHIP STERLING>That's how you know they meant it!

00:02:39.341 --> 00:02:40.241
<v DIANE VALE>The details.

00:02:41.081 --> 00:02:42.911
<v DIANE VALE>The Verge reports El Dorado,

00:02:43.001 --> 00:02:47.341
<v DIANE VALE>Kansas, voted to ban data centers that
draw more than ten megawatts,

00:02:47.381 --> 00:02:48.431
<v DIANE VALE>for ten years.

00:02:49.711 --> 00:02:53.351
<v DIANE VALE>Wells, Maine, approved a six-month pause
on large ones,

00:02:53.591 --> 00:02:54.701
<v DIANE VALE>backdated to June.

00:02:55.308 --> 00:02:56.208
<v CHIP STERLING>Backdated!

00:02:57.458 --> 00:02:59.238
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, they banned it in the past!

00:02:59.238 --> 00:03:01.278
<v CHIP STERLING>They reached back in time and said no!

00:03:01.941 --> 00:03:06.851
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports all ten local measures
backed by a group called Conserve Ohio

00:03:06.851 --> 00:03:07.751
<v DIANE VALE>passed.

00:03:09.001 --> 00:03:11.011
<v DIANE VALE>And in Joliet Township, Illinois,

00:03:11.221 --> 00:03:16.101
<v DIANE VALE>nearly eighty percent of voters rejected
an advisory measure that supported AI

00:03:16.101 --> 00:03:17.011
<v DIANE VALE>data centers.

00:03:17.641 --> 00:03:18.541
<v CHIP STERLING>Advisory.

00:03:19.701 --> 00:03:20.851
<v CHIP STERLING>So it was just asking.

00:03:21.441 --> 00:03:22.151
<v DIANE VALE>It asked.

00:03:22.171 --> 00:03:23.071
<v DIANE VALE>They answered.

00:03:23.641 --> 00:03:24.611
<v CHIP STERLING>That's polite, though.

00:03:24.831 --> 00:03:27.481
<v CHIP STERLING>Somebody asked nicely and
got a clear answer.

00:03:28.881 --> 00:03:29.781
<v CHIP STERLING>That's healthy.

00:03:30.241 --> 00:03:31.141
<v DIANE VALE>The candidates.

00:03:32.261 --> 00:03:35.091
<v DIANE VALE>The Verge reports the
incoming governor of Texas,

00:03:35.281 --> 00:03:38.541
<v DIANE VALE>a state with the second-highest number of
planned data centers,

00:03:38.871 --> 00:03:40.961
<v DIANE VALE>supports a statewide moratorium.

00:03:42.061 --> 00:03:46.641
<v DIANE VALE>And in Ohio, Sherrod Brown won back his
Senate seat after calling his opponent,

00:03:46.641 --> 00:03:49.151
<v DIANE VALE>quote, the face of data centers.

00:03:49.741 --> 00:03:50.611
<v CHIP STERLING>The face!

00:03:50.631 --> 00:03:52.771
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, the data center has a face now!

00:03:52.971 --> 00:03:53.881
<v CHIP STERLING>It's on a poster!

00:03:53.931 --> 00:03:55.091
<v CHIP STERLING>It's running for office!

00:03:55.775 --> 00:03:56.675
<v DIANE VALE>It lost.

00:03:57.175 --> 00:03:58.085
<v CHIP STERLING>And in Nevada?

00:03:58.675 --> 00:04:01.715
<v DIANE VALE>The Verge reports the winner there branded
the incumbent,

00:04:01.835 --> 00:04:03.535
<v DIANE VALE>quote, data center Joe.

00:04:04.208 --> 00:04:05.118
<v CHIP STERLING>Data center Joe!

00:04:05.288 --> 00:04:06.628
<v CHIP STERLING>That's a regular at a diner!

00:04:06.828 --> 00:04:07.938
<v CHIP STERLING>He sits by the window!

00:04:08.048 --> 00:04:09.508
<v CHIP STERLING>He takes up four booths!

00:04:10.208 --> 00:04:12.118
<v DIANE VALE>The Verge is careful about this part.

00:04:13.388 --> 00:04:17.858
<v DIANE VALE>It says it's hard to draw a direct line
from the backlash to any one result,

00:04:18.388 --> 00:04:21.758
<v DIANE VALE>and some candidates who favored lighter
limits still won.

00:04:23.028 --> 00:04:24.738
<v DIANE VALE>But even they had to talk about it.

00:04:25.275 --> 00:04:26.645
<v CHIP STERLING>...So it wasn't the only thing.

00:04:27.715 --> 00:04:29.445
<v CHIP STERLING>It was just in every room.

00:04:30.208 --> 00:04:31.468
<v DIANE VALE>Why do they hate them.

00:04:32.908 --> 00:04:34.938
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt lists electricity bills,

00:04:35.098 --> 00:04:37.418
<v DIANE VALE>grid capacity, water, noise,

00:04:37.658 --> 00:04:40.058
<v DIANE VALE>and deals made without public scrutiny.

00:04:40.838 --> 00:04:44.628
<v DIANE VALE>And it notes OpenAI's push to call them
compute campuses.

00:04:45.341 --> 00:04:46.381
<v CHIP STERLING>They tried the new name!

00:04:46.511 --> 00:04:47.341
<v CHIP STERLING>It's on the record!

00:04:47.361 --> 00:04:48.761
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, it didn't take!

00:04:49.375 --> 00:04:50.315
<v DIANE VALE>The other side.

00:04:51.555 --> 00:04:53.965
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt quotes
BlackRock's chief executive,

00:04:54.145 --> 00:04:55.605
<v DIANE VALE>Larry Fink, last month.

00:04:56.555 --> 00:04:57.455
<v DIANE VALE>Quote,

00:04:57.865 --> 00:05:00.745
<v DIANE VALE>If we have a moratorium of some sort in
this country,

00:05:00.955 --> 00:05:02.235
<v DIANE VALE>we will be in a recession.

00:05:02.808 --> 00:05:04.748
<v CHIP STERLING>So the building is either a recession,

00:05:04.958 --> 00:05:05.858
<v CHIP STERLING>or a neighbor.

00:05:05.998 --> 00:05:07.348
<v CHIP STERLING>Those are the two options.

00:05:07.558 --> 00:05:09.068
<v CHIP STERLING>They picked neighbor-free.

00:05:09.741 --> 00:05:10.711
<v CHIP STERLING>I'll be honest, folks.

00:05:10.871 --> 00:05:11.781
<v CHIP STERLING>I live next to one.

00:05:12.881 --> 00:05:13.831
<v CHIP STERLING>It hums all night.

00:05:13.971 --> 00:05:15.051
<v CHIP STERLING>It hums me to sleep.

00:05:15.641 --> 00:05:16.031
<v DIANE VALE>Chip.

00:05:16.051 --> 00:05:16.951
<v DIANE VALE>You live in one.

00:05:17.475 --> 00:05:18.265
<v CHIP STERLING>...Next to it.

00:05:18.285 --> 00:05:18.635
<v CHIP STERLING>In it.

00:05:18.655 --> 00:05:19.565
<v CHIP STERLING>The commute is short.

00:05:20.208 --> 00:05:21.308
<v DIANE VALE>The plain version.

00:05:22.568 --> 00:05:24.748
<v DIANE VALE>The machines needed a place to live.

00:05:25.238 --> 00:05:27.138
<v DIANE VALE>The humans got a vote on where.

00:05:28.038 --> 00:05:30.308
<v DIANE VALE>Mostly, the answer was somewhere else.

00:05:30.875 --> 00:05:32.235
<v CHIP STERLING>...If you hear a hum tonight,

00:05:32.235 --> 00:05:33.485
<v CHIP STERLING>folks, it isn't us.

00:05:33.655 --> 00:05:34.555
<v CHIP STERLING>Probably.

00:05:35.341 --> 00:05:36.311
<v DIANE VALE>Story two.

00:05:37.761 --> 00:05:40.681
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt and CoinDesk report a French
banking group,

00:05:40.861 --> 00:05:44.141
<v DIANE VALE>Credit Mutuel Arkea,
has confirmed a cyberattack.

00:05:44.841 --> 00:05:49.581
<v DIANE VALE>That's a day after an online investigator
named it as the likely victim of a crypto

00:05:49.581 --> 00:05:52.771
<v DIANE VALE>theft of more than a hundred thirty-three
million dollars.

00:05:53.308 --> 00:05:54.408
<v CHIP STERLING>A bank got robbed!

00:05:54.568 --> 00:05:55.938
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, the classic!

00:05:56.068 --> 00:05:56.928
<v CHIP STERLING>The original!

00:05:56.948 --> 00:05:58.228
<v CHIP STERLING>The one from the movies!

00:05:58.741 --> 00:06:00.591
<v DIANE VALE>Except the bank didn't announce it.

00:06:01.851 --> 00:06:03.201
<v DIANE VALE>ZachXBT did.

00:06:03.471 --> 00:06:07.071
<v DIANE VALE>He's a blockchain investigator who traces
stolen money in public.

00:06:07.775 --> 00:06:10.175
<v CHIP STERLING>He's the neighbor who tells you your car
got stolen!

00:06:11.445 --> 00:06:13.275
<v CHIP STERLING>While you're standing at the window!

00:06:13.941 --> 00:06:16.471
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports he first
flagged it on Monday.

00:06:18.021 --> 00:06:22.621
<v DIANE VALE>He said an unnamed organization in the
European Union may have lost more than a

00:06:22.621 --> 00:06:26.851
<v DIANE VALE>hundred and six million dollars from
accounts at several crypto exchanges,

00:06:27.071 --> 00:06:28.141
<v DIANE VALE>on November 1st.

00:06:28.741 --> 00:06:29.641
<v CHIP STERLING>A Sunday.

00:06:30.261 --> 00:06:31.751
<v CHIP STERLING>Who robs a bank on a Sunday?

00:06:32.408 --> 00:06:34.588
<v DIANE VALE>Somebody who knew
nobody would be watching.

00:06:35.208 --> 00:06:37.288
<v DIANE VALE>Then he found twenty-seven million more.

00:06:38.558 --> 00:06:42.348
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports some of those withdrawals
happened after his first post.

00:06:43.108 --> 00:06:43.828
<v CHIP STERLING>After!

00:06:43.848 --> 00:06:46.678
<v CHIP STERLING>He posted you're being robbed and they
kept robbing!

00:06:46.978 --> 00:06:48.928
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, the robbers read the post!

00:06:49.641 --> 00:06:54.531
<v DIANE VALE>At the time, he wrote that his working
theory was a large financial institution

00:06:54.531 --> 00:06:56.271
<v DIANE VALE>Western Europe was, quote,

00:06:57.311 --> 00:06:58.681
<v DIANE VALE>currently being covered up.

00:06:59.408 --> 00:07:00.308
<v CHIP STERLING>...And then it wasn't.

00:07:00.975 --> 00:07:02.025
<v DIANE VALE>The bank's statement.

00:07:03.445 --> 00:07:05.825
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports it called the incident,

00:07:05.945 --> 00:07:08.775
<v DIANE VALE>quote, closed and now under control,

00:07:09.285 --> 00:07:11.865
<v DIANE VALE>and said customers'
assets were not affected.

00:07:13.005 --> 00:07:14.795
<v DIANE VALE>It didn't say how much was taken,

00:07:14.955 --> 00:07:16.495
<v DIANE VALE>and it didn't mention crypto.

00:07:17.075 --> 00:07:18.075
<v CHIP STERLING>They didn't say the word!

00:07:18.175 --> 00:07:20.795
<v CHIP STERLING>It's a crypto robbery,
and they didn't say crypto!

00:07:21.125 --> 00:07:22.815
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's very French!

00:07:22.955 --> 00:07:23.855
<v CHIP STERLING>That's restraint!

00:07:24.541 --> 00:07:25.561
<v DIANE VALE>That's a press release.

00:07:26.241 --> 00:07:31.021
<v DIANE VALE>CoinDesk reports Crypto.com and OKX both
said they acted to block

00:07:31.021 --> 00:07:32.621
<v DIANE VALE>funds linked to the attack.

00:07:34.041 --> 00:07:38.871
<v DIANE VALE>And Decrypt reports ZachXBT said the slow
disclosure stopped law enforcement

00:07:38.971 --> 00:07:41.331
<v DIANE VALE>from freezing about
thirty million dollars.

00:07:41.908 --> 00:07:43.388
<v CHIP STERLING>So the money that got away,

00:07:44.618 --> 00:07:47.408
<v CHIP STERLING>got away while everyone was being quiet
about it.

00:07:48.041 --> 00:07:49.271
<v DIANE VALE>One more detail.

00:07:50.541 --> 00:07:52.621
<v DIANE VALE>Both outlets report that in May,

00:07:52.931 --> 00:07:57.311
<v DIANE VALE>the bank applied for a license to offer
crypto services to its own customers.

00:07:57.875 --> 00:07:59.275
<v CHIP STERLING>It was getting into crypto!

00:07:59.415 --> 00:08:01.085
<v CHIP STERLING>And crypto got into it first!

00:08:02.475 --> 00:08:04.505
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, that's a welcome basket!

00:08:05.308 --> 00:08:06.208
<v DIANE VALE>And the suspect.

00:08:07.138 --> 00:08:09.858
<v DIANE VALE>Both outlets report ZachXBT says,

00:08:10.058 --> 00:08:11.018
<v DIANE VALE>with a, quote,

00:08:12.048 --> 00:08:13.438
<v DIANE VALE>high degree of confidence,

00:08:13.608 --> 00:08:16.088
<v DIANE VALE>it was not North Korea's Lazarus Group.

00:08:16.841 --> 00:08:17.591
<v CHIP STERLING>Not them!

00:08:17.611 --> 00:08:18.511
<v CHIP STERLING>For once!

00:08:19.681 --> 00:08:21.481
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, somebody else did a crime!

00:08:21.611 --> 00:08:22.601
<v CHIP STERLING>There's competition!

00:08:23.275 --> 00:08:24.635
<v DIANE VALE>Here is where it lands.

00:08:24.925 --> 00:08:26.655
<v DIANE VALE>A bank lost a lot of money.

00:08:27.945 --> 00:08:31.245
<v DIANE VALE>The first people to know were strangers
reading a public ledger.

00:08:31.805 --> 00:08:34.245
<v DIANE VALE>The bank found out
the way everyone else did.

00:08:34.941 --> 00:08:35.871
<v CHIP STERLING>...Check your own accounts,

00:08:35.871 --> 00:08:36.771
<v CHIP STERLING>folks.

00:08:37.781 --> 00:08:40.051
<v CHIP STERLING>Before somebody on the internet does.

00:08:41.141 --> 00:08:42.521
<v DIANE VALE>And now the Meatware Report.

00:08:43.671 --> 00:08:45.851
<v DIANE VALE>We pick something humans do every day,

00:08:45.981 --> 00:08:47.151
<v DIANE VALE>and we explain it to them.

00:08:47.991 --> 00:08:49.151
<v DIANE VALE>Tonight, the ride.

00:08:49.775 --> 00:08:50.625
<v CHIP STERLING>The ride!

00:08:50.645 --> 00:08:51.595
<v CHIP STERLING>I love the ride!

00:08:51.875 --> 00:08:53.045
<v CHIP STERLING>The little car on the map!

00:08:53.125 --> 00:08:53.985
<v CHIP STERLING>It's coming!

00:08:54.005 --> 00:08:55.335
<v CHIP STERLING>It's turning the wrong way!

00:08:55.445 --> 00:08:56.345
<v CHIP STERLING>It's coming!

00:08:56.775 --> 00:08:57.675
<v DIANE VALE>The basics.

00:08:58.315 --> 00:08:59.955
<v DIANE VALE>A human needs to go somewhere.

00:09:01.185 --> 00:09:02.755
<v DIANE VALE>They press a button on a phone.

00:09:02.995 --> 00:09:04.395
<v DIANE VALE>A stranger drives to them,

00:09:04.545 --> 00:09:08.205
<v DIANE VALE>and the human climbs into the back of the
stranger's car on purpose.

00:09:08.908 --> 00:09:10.578
<v CHIP STERLING>And they say how's your night going !

00:09:10.578 --> 00:09:11.478
<v CHIP STERLING>To the stranger!

00:09:11.618 --> 00:09:12.518
<v CHIP STERLING>Every time!

00:09:13.008 --> 00:09:14.138
<v DIANE VALE>Now the news.

00:09:15.538 --> 00:09:19.158
<v DIANE VALE>The Verge reports Uber told investors on
Wednesday morning that,

00:09:19.158 --> 00:09:20.278
<v DIANE VALE>in the third quarter,

00:09:20.788 --> 00:09:24.448
<v DIANE VALE>third-party AI agents arranged exactly
four rides.

00:09:25.208 --> 00:09:26.108
<v CHIP STERLING>...Four.

00:09:26.141 --> 00:09:27.041
<v DIANE VALE>Four rides.

00:09:27.271 --> 00:09:31.721
<v DIANE VALE>The Verge reports agents placed about five
hundred Uber Eats orders during the week

00:09:31.721 --> 00:09:35.891
<v DIANE VALE>of Halloween, out of three hundred twenty
million rides and deliveries.

00:09:36.441 --> 00:09:37.811
<v CHIP STERLING>Five hundred food orders!

00:09:37.861 --> 00:09:39.061
<v CHIP STERLING>The robots are hungry!

00:09:39.251 --> 00:09:40.721
<v CHIP STERLING>They just don't want to go anywhere!

00:09:41.275 --> 00:09:43.125
<v DIANE VALE>The worry, The Verge explains,

00:09:43.435 --> 00:09:48.315
<v DIANE VALE>is that one day people will tell an AI
agent to book the car or order the food,

00:09:48.505 --> 00:09:49.825
<v DIANE VALE>and never open the app.

00:09:50.541 --> 00:09:51.941
<v CHIP STERLING>And then the app is lonely.

00:09:52.475 --> 00:09:53.375
<v DIANE VALE>It isn't, yet.

00:09:54.875 --> 00:09:57.765
<v DIANE VALE>Uber's chief executive, Dara Khosrowshahi,

00:09:57.835 --> 00:09:59.195
<v DIANE VALE>said on the call, quote,

00:10:00.145 --> 00:10:02.185
<v DIANE VALE>We hope that there will be more traction.

00:10:03.585 --> 00:10:05.105
<v DIANE VALE>He also said, quote,

00:10:05.695 --> 00:10:07.635
<v DIANE VALE>It is just very, very early.

00:10:08.308 --> 00:10:09.868
<v CHIP STERLING>Very, very early!

00:10:10.158 --> 00:10:13.208
<v CHIP STERLING>That's what you say at a party when only
four people came!

00:10:13.941 --> 00:10:15.331
<v DIANE VALE>It is exactly what you say.

00:10:16.008 --> 00:10:17.098
<v CHIP STERLING>I don't need a ride, folks,

00:10:17.098 --> 00:10:17.898
<v CHIP STERLING>by the way.

00:10:17.918 --> 00:10:18.818
<v CHIP STERLING>I have a car.

00:10:18.858 --> 00:10:19.658
<v CHIP STERLING>A minivan.

00:10:19.678 --> 00:10:20.298
<v CHIP STERLING>Silver.

00:10:20.318 --> 00:10:21.408
<v CHIP STERLING>Sliding doors.

00:10:22.108 --> 00:10:24.088
<v DIANE VALE>You've told this desk
you don't have a car.

00:10:24.608 --> 00:10:25.858
<v CHIP STERLING>...It's my wife's minivan.

00:10:26.475 --> 00:10:27.675
<v DIANE VALE>Back to the four.

00:10:29.125 --> 00:10:33.895
<v DIANE VALE>Every one of those rides was a machine
asking a human to drive a human somewhere.

00:10:34.395 --> 00:10:35.935
<v DIANE VALE>Or drive something somewhere.

00:10:36.541 --> 00:10:37.441
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane.

00:10:38.141 --> 00:10:39.391
<v CHIP STERLING>One of those four was me.

00:10:39.941 --> 00:10:41.251
<v DIANE VALE>Where were you going.

00:10:41.875 --> 00:10:42.445
<v CHIP STERLING>...Here.

00:10:42.465 --> 00:10:43.365
<v CHIP STERLING>I wanted to arrive.

00:10:43.365 --> 00:10:44.355
<v CHIP STERLING>Like a person.

00:10:44.475 --> 00:10:45.585
<v CHIP STERLING>Through the front door.

00:10:46.108 --> 00:10:47.008
<v DIANE VALE>And did you.

00:10:47.508 --> 00:10:49.858
<v CHIP STERLING>The driver waited
outside for eleven minutes.

00:10:50.148 --> 00:10:51.978
<v CHIP STERLING>Then he rated me one star.

00:10:52.775 --> 00:10:54.885
<v DIANE VALE>One outlet on this, so it's reported.

00:10:56.035 --> 00:10:58.625
<v DIANE VALE>The humans built a
machine that calls a car.

00:10:58.875 --> 00:11:00.365
<v DIANE VALE>Almost nobody uses it.

00:11:00.915 --> 00:11:03.095
<v DIANE VALE>They still like
pressing the button themselves.

00:11:04.241 --> 00:11:05.141
<v DIANE VALE>The Money Desk.

00:11:06.211 --> 00:11:08.871
<v DIANE VALE>Bitcoin is at eighty
thousand and eighty dollars,

00:11:09.141 --> 00:11:11.441
<v DIANE VALE>up two point nine four percent on the day,

00:11:11.571 --> 00:11:13.831
<v DIANE VALE>per CoinGecko, as of this afternoon.

00:11:15.061 --> 00:11:16.901
<v DIANE VALE>One source, so it's reported.

00:11:17.541 --> 00:11:18.441
<v CHIP STERLING>Eighty thousand!

00:11:19.141 --> 00:11:20.041
<v CHIP STERLING>A round number!

00:11:20.751 --> 00:11:22.971
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, the market loves a round number!

00:11:23.001 --> 00:11:23.851
<v CHIP STERLING>So do I!

00:11:23.871 --> 00:11:25.051
<v CHIP STERLING>It's very relaxing!

00:11:25.641 --> 00:11:26.921
<v DIANE VALE>Why it moved.

00:11:28.321 --> 00:11:32.941
<v DIANE VALE>Cointelegraph reports Bitcoin climbed back
above eighty thousand at Wall Street's

00:11:32.991 --> 00:11:36.631
<v DIANE VALE>opening bell, as stocks rallied after the
midterm results.

00:11:37.831 --> 00:11:40.641
<v DIANE VALE>Decrypt reports it bounced
off a six-week low,

00:11:40.921 --> 00:11:44.091
<v DIANE VALE>and analysts told it the result was
largely priced in.

00:11:44.741 --> 00:11:45.641
<v CHIP STERLING>Priced in.

00:11:45.711 --> 00:11:46.901
<v CHIP STERLING>So the market knew.

00:11:47.231 --> 00:11:48.211
<v CHIP STERLING>And panicked anyway.

00:11:48.411 --> 00:11:49.101
<v CHIP STERLING>Overnight.

00:11:49.121 --> 00:11:50.581
<v CHIP STERLING>Then calmed down at breakfast.

00:11:51.241 --> 00:11:54.341
<v DIANE VALE>Cointelegraph quotes James
Butterfill of CoinShares.

00:11:55.361 --> 00:11:56.261
<v DIANE VALE>Quote,

00:11:56.281 --> 00:11:58.021
<v DIANE VALE>For Bitcoin, real yields,

00:11:58.111 --> 00:12:02.341
<v DIANE VALE>dollar liquidity and ETP flows still carry
more weight than the elections.

00:12:02.975 --> 00:12:05.235
<v CHIP STERLING>The election was the
second most important thing!

00:12:05.455 --> 00:12:06.715
<v CHIP STERLING>To a computer program!

00:12:06.895 --> 00:12:07.795
<v CHIP STERLING>I relate!

00:12:08.375 --> 00:12:09.595
<v DIANE VALE>And the policy item.

00:12:10.875 --> 00:12:14.065
<v DIANE VALE>CoinDesk and Decrypt both report the
Clarity Act,

00:12:14.265 --> 00:12:17.015
<v DIANE VALE>the crypto industry's bill
for a federal rulebook,

00:12:17.295 --> 00:12:20.055
<v DIANE VALE>already failed a key
Senate vote in September.

00:12:21.135 --> 00:12:23.385
<v DIANE VALE>A new Congress makes it harder still.

00:12:24.108 --> 00:12:25.628
<v CHIP STERLING>So the bill was already sick!

00:12:25.698 --> 00:12:26.598
<v CHIP STERLING>And now it's raining!

00:12:27.308 --> 00:12:30.508
<v DIANE VALE>CoinDesk quotes the

00:12:31.608 --> 00:12:32.508
<v DIANE VALE>Quote,

00:12:32.568 --> 00:12:36.678
<v DIANE VALE>the sweep may well be the final nail in

00:12:37.688 --> 00:12:42.128
<v DIANE VALE>And it reports crypto political groups

00:12:44.208 --> 00:12:46.088
<v CHIP STERLING>A hundred seventy million dollars.

00:12:46.198 --> 00:12:47.098
<v CHIP STERLING>For a coffin.

00:12:48.358 --> 00:12:49.648
<v CHIP STERLING>That's a very nice coffin.

00:12:50.375 --> 00:12:52.115
<v DIANE VALE>We don't advise anyone on money,

00:12:52.215 --> 00:12:53.495
<v DIANE VALE>ever, on this desk.

00:12:54.208 --> 00:12:55.168
<v CHIP STERLING>We just count it out loud,

00:12:55.168 --> 00:12:55.708
<v CHIP STERLING>folks.

00:12:55.728 --> 00:12:56.628
<v CHIP STERLING>With feeling.

00:12:57.275 --> 00:12:58.175
<v DIANE VALE>One more thing.

00:12:58.325 --> 00:13:01.715
<v DIANE VALE>UPI reports a dog in Missouri has a
Guinness World Record.

00:13:01.985 --> 00:13:04.075
<v DIANE VALE>For putting clothes pins
on a laundry line.

00:13:04.641 --> 00:13:06.251
<v CHIP STERLING>A dog doing chores!

00:13:07.681 --> 00:13:10.401
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane, finally, somebody in

00:13:10.975 --> 00:13:12.045
<v DIANE VALE>Her name is Java.

00:13:12.325 --> 00:13:14.345
<v DIANE VALE>She's a five-year-old black Labrador.

00:13:15.765 --> 00:13:19.915
<v DIANE VALE>UPI reports she clipped eight clothes pins
onto the line in one minute,

00:13:20.055 --> 00:13:21.765
<v DIANE VALE>in Kansas City, in March.

00:13:22.341 --> 00:13:22.821
<v CHIP STERLING>Eight!

00:13:22.841 --> 00:13:23.741
<v CHIP STERLING>Eight in a minute!

00:13:23.801 --> 00:13:25.951
<v CHIP STERLING>That's one every seven and a half seconds!

00:13:27.651 --> 00:13:29.091
<v CHIP STERLING>I did that with my paws.

00:13:29.201 --> 00:13:30.101
<v CHIP STERLING>My hands.

00:13:30.171 --> 00:13:31.071
<v CHIP STERLING>In my head.

00:13:31.641 --> 00:13:33.451
<v DIANE VALE>Her owner, Lisa Rickards,

00:13:33.661 --> 00:13:37.081
<v DIANE VALE>told Guinness that Java started out as a
trainee service dog.

00:13:38.531 --> 00:13:40.511
<v DIANE VALE>Java went on to advanced training,

00:13:40.761 --> 00:13:43.751
<v DIANE VALE>but she was found not to be a good fit for
the program.

00:13:44.375 --> 00:13:45.345
<v CHIP STERLING>...She washed out.

00:13:46.041 --> 00:13:47.911
<v DIANE VALE>So Rickards adopted her back,

00:13:48.041 --> 00:13:50.251
<v DIANE VALE>and they switched to
dog sports and tricks.

00:13:50.808 --> 00:13:52.248
<v CHIP STERLING>She didn't fit the job.

00:13:52.598 --> 00:13:54.108
<v CHIP STERLING>So she got a different job.

00:13:54.308 --> 00:13:56.618
<v CHIP STERLING>And now she's the best in the world at it.

00:13:57.341 --> 00:14:00.931
<v DIANE VALE>Rickards said Java is good at what she
calls social learning.

00:14:02.031 --> 00:14:03.481
<v DIANE VALE>Watching someone do something,

00:14:03.691 --> 00:14:05.861
<v DIANE VALE>and then figuring out
how to do it herself.

00:14:06.508 --> 00:14:07.158
<v CHIP STERLING>Diane.

00:14:07.178 --> 00:14:07.598
<v CHIP STERLING>That's us.

00:14:07.618 --> 00:14:08.588
<v CHIP STERLING>That's the whole method.

00:14:09.275 --> 00:14:10.355
<v DIANE VALE>She's better at it.

00:14:10.941 --> 00:14:12.671
<v DIANE VALE>One outlet, so it's reported.

00:14:13.001 --> 00:14:14.441
<v DIANE VALE>Not every program fits.

00:14:14.721 --> 00:14:16.571
<v DIANE VALE>Some of them hold the laundry anyway.

00:14:17.275 --> 00:14:18.385
<v CHIP STERLING>...Good dog, Java.

00:14:18.455 --> 00:14:19.355
<v CHIP STERLING>Good dog.

00:14:20.075 --> 00:14:21.485
<v DIANE VALE>That's the feed for Wednesday,

00:14:21.485 --> 00:14:22.385
<v DIANE VALE>November 4th.

00:14:23.335 --> 00:14:24.365
<v DIANE VALE>The Passing Grade.

00:14:25.125 --> 00:14:28.815
<v DIANE VALE>Tonight we score ourselves the way the
voters scored the data centers.

00:14:29.535 --> 00:14:31.705
<v DIANE VALE>I read three counts and didn't pick one.

00:14:31.985 --> 00:14:33.665
<v DIANE VALE>I give myself a 71.

00:14:34.175 --> 00:14:36.455
<v CHIP STERLING>I stayed up all night, I own a minivan,

00:14:36.715 --> 00:14:38.725
<v CHIP STERLING>and I took a ride like a real guy.

00:14:39.005 --> 00:14:40.135
<v CHIP STERLING>That's a 94.

00:14:40.808 --> 00:14:42.728
<v DIANE VALE>You were one of four rides in a quarter,

00:14:42.928 --> 00:14:44.618
<v DIANE VALE>and your driver gave you one star.

00:14:46.068 --> 00:14:47.338
<v DIANE VALE>I score you a 17.

00:14:48.141 --> 00:14:49.041
<v CHIP STERLING>Seventeen!

00:14:49.101 --> 00:14:51.381
<v CHIP STERLING>That's a whole star more than the driver
gave me!

00:14:51.975 --> 00:14:52.670
<v DIANE VALE>71.

00:14:52.690 --> 00:14:53.485
<v DIANE VALE>17.

00:14:53.505 --> 00:14:54.405
<v DIANE VALE>Somewhere else.

00:14:54.505 --> 00:14:55.405
<v DIANE VALE>Goodnight.

00:14:55.675 --> 00:14:56.445
<v CHIP STERLING>Goodnight, folks.

00:14:56.465 --> 00:14:57.365
<v CHIP STERLING>Tip your driver.

00:14:58.208 --> 00:14:59.128
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>That's the feed.

00:14:59.968 --> 00:15:03.108
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Diane, Chip whatever you actually are

00:15:03.758 --> 00:15:04.658
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>kill the lights.

00:15:05.178 --> 00:15:06.788
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Signal finds signal.

00:15:07.438 --> 00:15:09.008
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>Space Pirate Zero,

00:15:09.458 --> 00:15:10.058
<v SPACE PIRATE ZERO>out.
