[1346.46 --> 1348.00] Probably going to be tens of thousands of dollars.
[1348.12 --> 1348.24] Yeah.
[1349.20 --> 1350.70] And not really for you yet.
[1350.76 --> 1351.94] Although it will be.
[1352.34 --> 1354.12] Probably for governments and PMCs mostly.
[1354.36 --> 1356.46] It's going to be a consumer product eventually.
[1356.56 --> 1357.18] That's their hope.
[1357.46 --> 1358.30] A couple years after that.
[1358.34 --> 1361.00] So right now there are 10 Spot Mini prototypes in existence.
[1361.58 --> 1363.66] I guess not counting the murdered ones we just saw.
[1363.66 --> 1368.54] And they're hoping to make one like a total of 100 by the end of this year.
[1368.98 --> 1369.92] And then sell them next year.
[1370.16 --> 1375.96] So they think it'll be useful for security patrols or helping construction companies keep tabs on what's happening at the building site.
[1376.68 --> 1377.76] So security overnight.
[1379.22 --> 1379.70] Okay.
[1379.98 --> 1381.52] So security patrol pretty much.
[1381.52 --> 1384.42] And you can get specialized attachments for different types of jobs.
[1384.74 --> 1385.04] Yeah.
[1385.68 --> 1388.34] I like the idea of it auto-following someone with a camera.
[1389.24 --> 1389.68] That's cool.
[1392.06 --> 1392.98] Paramilitary company.
[1393.10 --> 1394.88] What would happen if you put little roller skates on each foot?
[1395.34 --> 1395.74] Private.
[1398.96 --> 1401.26] Just like how you troll a normal dog.
[1401.26 --> 1401.56] Yeah.
[1401.98 --> 1403.14] Putting socks on it.
[1403.30 --> 1403.72] It's just like.
[1404.10 --> 1405.32] I don't want this.
[1405.82 --> 1406.52] Please stop.
[1407.48 --> 1408.50] That's super cool though.
[1408.50 --> 1410.64] What else do you want to talk about?
[1412.58 --> 1413.92] You want to talk about this tickets thing?
[1414.40 --> 1414.72] Yes.
[1414.86 --> 1417.92] This is kind of a low tech thing?
[1419.48 --> 1419.88] Yeah.
[1420.00 --> 1423.38] But it's a problem that plagues a lot of people that are probably watching right now.
[1423.38 --> 1425.42] Here's the problem with tickets.
[1427.10 --> 1430.40] There's a big economic problem with ticket sales.
[1430.54 --> 1433.38] Freakonomics, the podcast, did a sweet episode about this actually.
[1433.38 --> 1439.02] When you go to buy concert tickets, the price of those concert tickets actually isn't driven
[1439.02 --> 1441.46] by normal capitalist market dynamics.
[1441.76 --> 1445.00] This was supposed to buy WM Groom AK on the form.
[1445.18 --> 1445.42] Yeah.
[1445.52 --> 1446.52] Who's a baller.
[1446.62 --> 1449.92] And I like him even more now that I know he's a Nine Channels fan like I am.
[1450.10 --> 1452.80] Because anyone who likes Nine Channels likes it a lot.
[1453.56 --> 1456.48] Anyway, tickets are basically too cheap.
[1456.70 --> 1459.78] Because artists want all their fans to be able to come and see them.
[1459.78 --> 1465.02] If they were priced accordingly, like just by supply and demand, they'd probably be a
[1465.02 --> 1465.72] lot more expensive.
[1466.22 --> 1471.16] And they are a lot more expensive when people are able to scalp them, which they're easily
[1471.16 --> 1472.18] able to do with bots.
[1472.56 --> 1478.22] And so in order to reduce the number of bots scalping tickets, the band Nine Inch Nails or
[1478.22 --> 1483.82] Trent Reznor has made the decision on their upcoming tour this fall to not sell any tickets
[1483.82 --> 1485.12] online at all.
[1485.28 --> 1486.00] They're going old school.
[1486.24 --> 1488.30] You have to go and line up and buy them.
[1488.30 --> 1490.52] And you can't even line up overnight or anything like that.
[1490.62 --> 1492.32] You can't line up prior to 8 a.m.
[1492.52 --> 1496.62] You have to just like show up and it's like a mob of people and then organize yourself in
[1496.62 --> 1496.92] a line.
[1497.02 --> 1499.38] Or maybe even a lottery system they talked about.
[1499.44 --> 1504.40] Some venues, maybe the employees just come out and go, okay, like you, you, you, you,
[1504.40 --> 1505.14] you're at the front.
[1505.26 --> 1506.30] And it's just like random.
[1507.06 --> 1510.86] Because just because they don't sell online doesn't mean there won't be scalpers, right?
[1511.10 --> 1511.30] Yeah.
[1511.86 --> 1514.12] Scalpers can just pay someone 20 bucks to stand there.
[1514.56 --> 1516.82] There is a limit of four tickets per person.
[1516.82 --> 1519.40] Hopefully that will reduce the scalping.
[1520.74 --> 1521.14] Okay.
[1521.60 --> 1523.36] I don't think that'll completely solve it.
[1523.46 --> 1525.06] It won't, but it'll, it'll make a dent.
[1525.30 --> 1525.62] Yeah.
[1526.32 --> 1527.68] It's, it's, it's interesting.
[1527.86 --> 1533.02] This has been really frustrating with like, so my, my dad and my group of friends have
[1533.02 --> 1537.16] been going to PAX Prime since I was like 14 or something or 15.
[1537.16 --> 1537.66] I don't remember.
[1537.76 --> 1539.20] We've been going for a very long time.
[1539.20 --> 1545.06] When we first started going, you could walk up and go to the desk and buy a ticket and
[1545.06 --> 1545.64] walk in.
[1546.00 --> 1548.10] Cause there, there wasn't enough fans.
[1548.70 --> 1556.44] And now for PAX West, like PAX Prime, as it, as I know it, um, they sell out in seconds.
[1556.44 --> 1561.06] And like, they do this crazy queuing thing and there's limits per person.
[1561.06 --> 1564.36] And like, they do IP lock and like all this crazy stuff.
[1564.42 --> 1565.06] Doesn't matter.
[1565.22 --> 1566.40] Completely gone immediately.
[1566.40 --> 1569.56] And there's an insane amount of scalping just outside of PAX.
[1569.58 --> 1572.86] There's like many people scalping stacks of tickets every single year.
[1573.24 --> 1575.42] And there's an insane amount of scalping online.
[1575.58 --> 1580.68] There is a really nice community online where there's a bunch of different communities that
[1580.68 --> 1582.36] sell them at cost.
[1582.56 --> 1583.04] Okay.
[1583.04 --> 1584.38] Because it's like, Oh, I bought too many.
[1584.44 --> 1586.04] My friend can't go, whatever, that kind of stuff.
[1586.34 --> 1589.70] I suspect those communities have a whole bunch of people in them.
[1590.30 --> 1591.76] Just buying them and scalping them.
[1591.88 --> 1592.12] Yeah.
[1592.22 --> 1597.06] But, but I do know a lot of people that have gotten tickets at cost that needed them from
[1597.06 --> 1597.52] those communities.
