Alright you guys it is time for our first franchise mode of the year. I hope you guys are excited as I am for this. I love making franchise modes and I thought it was time to just make a new one. So we're gonna hop right into it. That is right. GM Liefer is going to be the general manager of the Buffalo Sabres as you can see from the title and the thumbnail. The Sabres needs some new management. They have a good team. We don't know if we're gonna be a contender. We don't know if we're gonna try to tank for Bidad this season, but the Buffalo Sabres is a very good up-and-coming team. A very good young team that could win it someday. Rasmus Dallin, Tage Thompson, Jeff Skinner, all the good players there. So the visions are staying the same. Everything is good.  We're gonna keep Fogwar on. Player Morale is gonna be off, CPU trades on and everything looks good to me. So continue here. We're gonna be doing a 10-year GM mode with the Sabres and hoping that we can bring home a cup to Buffalo as they have had some tough times. So we're gonna put the difficulty on to superstar. Injuries will be on throughout the season. That's something I haven't done in previous years so that should be interesting. Seller cap on, trade difficulty will be medium just for the first time of the year. Fogwar on, everything else looks good to me and we should be good to go.  Now easier, it's gonna be easier for us. This is not a bad hockey team. This is not a bad franchise. They have some very good key and core players to this team. Head coach can help. No, so let's turn that off. But they have some very key players, a young Tage Thompson who's doing very good in real life right now. He is on the first line with Olofsen and Skinner, Akpozo, Cousins, Tuck, Vinny Hinnestrosa. So the top six is a decent little top six. Bottom six ain't the greatest. Defensively, huge names in Rasmus Dalin and Owen Power and the goal tending. Not what we really need. So this first year is honestly I think is a year where we want to just kind of try and tank and try to get a good draft pick in maybe Conor Bedard, some other good players too. So we're gonna be doing some very heavy scouting this season to try to get that huge pick and then after that we just kind of go from there. Let's be real with the team that we have on paper right now. They won't be winning much. Let's be real with with each other here. This team won't be winning a cup anytime soon. The bottom six, not the greatest. Defensively, it's probably our biggest strength and even so not really. And then goal tending just obviously isn't great with Craig Anderson and Eric Comrie. Scratch, we got Payton Krebs. So another young guy that we're gonna throw down to the Miners, Bjork and Casey Middlestad who is not playing for some reason. We will throw him in there as well. Probably over Riley Sheehan. So let's throw in Casey Middlestad there. I kind of want him on that third line, try to get him to progress a little bit. We get that minus one in that line there but apparently that is a glitch this year. No, it's still minus one. So we'll just do that right there. Jack Quinn, 20 years old. I guess he's playing in the NHL. And then looking at our minors, we got Roosa line in. We got Malone. We got Isaac Rosen, 69 overall at a 19 years of age. No X factors on him so we don't know what he's gonna turn into. Lucas Rusic. No X factors on him as well. 23, 70 overall. So got some decent little young prospects down here. Defensively, not so much. And goal tending. We do have UPL and Malcolm Subin. 23 years of age. We'll let him progress in the minors and then maybe throughout the season we'll bring him up here or there. God forbid there are any injuries. Anyone that's scratched here, we got Ben Bishop. A couple 21 year olds here. I think that Jack Quinn should be in the minors. 76 overall, 20 years of age. Maybe we just play him up here. Like do we have anyone better that scratch right now that can really replace him? Riley Sheehan can play the left wing. So that could definitely be something that we could do there. I kind of want to send Jack Quinn down to the minors, which I think is something we are going to do as of now. So we're gonna go to Ross and moves. We're gonna throw Jack Quinn in the minors right now. I think it just makes sense.  He is one way. Wow. Okay. So we'll throw him down to the minors, which is fine. I kind of want him to progress in the AHL. I think that just makes the most sense. So we'll throw Vinnie and Stroza up to that third line. And then we will put back in Riley Sheehan into that third line. He's gonna be playing left wing for the time being. And then we also have Payton Krebs. 77 overall, 21 years of age. No X factors. Does he make this team out the bat? I don't think so. I think it'll be another case of him playing in the minors. To say the least, I want Asplin to play left wing as well. So maybe put Gurgis in there and put Asplin up onto that third line. So we'll have Middlesex, Asplin, and Vinnie and Stroza. That looks pretty good to me. Our power play line is missing someone. Our power play line too. Okay. So Owen Power, who's on our first unit here? Rasmus, Dahlia, and Alex talk. So we can put Owen Power, Dylan Cousins. Do we want him on that first unit? I kind of want him on that first unit. Who do we take off? Oh, okay. Maybe Dylan Cousins is going to be on that second unit there. We'll put a defenseman. Maybe put Henry Yoki Haru there. Minus three. That ain't the greatest. Let's see who else we can throw onto that line. Vinnie and Stroza doesn't sound like the greatest. Tage Thompson, I believe is on that first line. Maybe Casey Middlesex. Minus two won't be too bad. Maybe throw him onto the center there. Actually, I don't think Cousins will make the most sense there. So we'll leave it like that. Let's head back down to the AHL. We did send someone down here. So who can we probably scratch?  Pitting Crubs. Again, is he someone that we use? Maybe we do use him? Maybe we throw him down? I'm not too sure. This is a good thing about this team is it's so young and there's so many good players to use. Now, we also got Bork. He's 26, 77 overall. He's more of a depth guy. Someone gets hurt. We bring him in. Well, Pitting Crubs. He's 21, man. His role depth forward, potential top six forward. So maybe we do play him and get rid of Petrica or maybe Asplend or maybe Akpozo. I know he is a captain. He has that leadership role, but maybe it's a contract. He's got one year left. Someone that we unload at the deadline just so he doesn't walk. I don't plan on signing him in the offseason. And if he hits free agency, we can always pick him back up. So maybe that's someone we get rid at the deadline. So kind of like we're going to blow, not blow up this team, but like the people that are going to be staying on this team for a long time. Now, Jeff Skinner, five years left at 9.5. He's an elite second line forward. Do we want to be paying a second line forward that much? Maybe that's someone that we move out eventually. Tage Thompson staying on this team for a while, 24 years old. One year left at 1.5. He's going to want some good money. Victor Oliveson as well, 27 years of age, five mill at two years. I think that's someone we want to stay. Alex Tuck, obviously. The return that we got for Jack Eichel, obviously a guy that's going to be on this team for a while. Other than that, defensively, Rasmus Dallin obviously staying here. He's got two years left at 6.3. He's going to want a good contract and obviously Owen Power at a mill. Two years left is someone who's going to stay on this team as well. Henry Okiharu, interesting little guy here. 23 years of age, two years left at 2.6. Just under 2.7. I think it's a guy that we keep. Labushkin is just a guy that you bring in year and year out. Two years at three mill. Maybe he's someone that we unload if we need cap. Michael Samuelson, again 22 years of age. He's got a potential to be a top six defenseman. Play him and see what we get. And then Bryson to 24 years old. Potential to be a top six defenseman, but most likely to be a depth defenseman. So for the time being, I think this is what the team that we're going to be rolling with. I think we are going to send downpain and crabs, get him some playing time in the A-H-L. I think that does make sense. So let's go back to roster moves here and do that exactly. Now, if you guys have any suggestions if you should be playing in the NHL, let me know. I think for the time being we're going to throw him down into the A-H-L. Have him be kind of that first line center. And just kind of progress there, hopefully. So we'll throw him there. We'll throw him alone back to the second. And then that sounds pretty good to me. So Peyton Krebs, Roosa Lyonin, and Jack Quinn. Is Roosa Lyonin going to be paneled to be anything top nine forward. So he can panel to be something. Jack Quinn, 20 years old, still very young, which is good. So I think as of now, this is what the team is going to be. We're going to roll with this team and just kind of hope for the best. Peyton Krebs hopefully will progress down in the minors. Now to propose a trade, I just want to see what the cap situation is. We have a lot of cap. We have a lot of caps. So to say let's unload someone, I think the only proper time to unload someone is if we want to get draft picks coming in. So we also have Savoye, who I believe, is he playing? Is he scratched in the AHL? We're going to have to take a look at that. He's definitely going to be a prospect of the future. Tate Thompson is not anyone like none of these guys we really want to move here. It's more going to be a Jeff Skinner. More going to be a not a Victor Oliphson. I was going to say a Labushkin for sure. Cowock Puzzle, but they have very minimal trade value. So the trade for picks for these guys, not really good. Now looking at our draft pick situation, we do have our first overall pick. Our second, we have a second from Philly, a second from Vegas. No third round pick.  So we want to hold on to our first round pick again. I think this is going to be a year where we don't do well. We're just probably going to tank. So we're just going to get into it and see how it is. We're going to probably simulate up to the trade deadline to see where we're at. That being said, before we do that, I want to see if Savoy he is in the AHL and he is just scratched. If he is, that would have been a huge mistake. So it doesn't look like he is. He's probably playing in college unless he is in the lineup and I'm just blind. I believe he is playing back in college or in the OHL, whatever it is. So let's just get right into it. We've got a promising, promising future to say the least with this team. So we're going to just sim through the purity season. We do have injuries on throughout the season. So it's going to make it interesting. We've got the salary cap on obviously. We're doing good, but I mean like these teams aren't starting their normal lineup. So they want to give us brawn. For Eric Comrie, we get rid of a third and we get a fourth round pick back. I'm going to pass on that. Thank you though, Philly. And other than that, salary cap is complete. Players on Wave are as gotcha and we're heading into the season. So I'm going to go assign these scouts to go obviously scout where they got a scout. We don't have the greatest overall scouts. That's something we're gonna have to fix next year. Looking at our coaches. Coaching the grade either. So maybe a coach is where we're gonna look for next year. But with that being said, I'm gonna go send out the scouts. This is something that's going to be long and boring that YouTube that you guys just don't need to see. So I will do that very quick and come right back to you guys. Alright, so we have sent out all of our scouts to go do the assignments for us. So everything is sounding good. We are up to the first game of the season where we were playing the Ottawa Senators. Now, like I said, we are probably aiming to tank. So I wouldn't be surprised if we get a good sim and we somehow just make the playoffs where we're middle of the pack. I honestly want to tank. And with that being said, like, if we do need to tank, that's where Kyle Wachposo is going to leave. That's where maybe Zemgis Gergeson is going to leave. Riley Sheehan, players like that. Other than that, everyone is staying on the team. And I think that sounds pretty good to me. So I don't think we're going to have a good year, which is what we're kind of hoping for. I think the second year is where we're going to start trying to push for playoffs. So with that being said, we're going to do a little slow sim for the first game of the season just to see how things are with this team. So let's see what we do. First period, 0-0 game. Second period, 3-2. So there it is. Three goal outbursts from the Senators. Giroux, Joseph, and Stutzla and then Middelstad and Tuckett in their first of the season. So we're heading into the third period down one. That's fine by me. Let's lose this game. Like we want Badard. We want Badard. We want one of the at least like a top 10 pick would be pretty nice. Just someone that can help with the team. Maybe a little nice goalie prospect if we don't finish 1-2. So we'll see. 4-2. Brady Kachuk makes it a 2-goal game. Get a little power play here towards the end of the game. Nothing going. And the first game of the season is going to be a loss against the Ottawa Senators. Three stars, Rue with a goal and assist. Tuck with a goal and three hits and Kachuk with a goal. And three hits as well. So first game of the season is a 4-2 loss. Again, not really heard about it. Kyle Ockpozo is out with a broken nose until October 24th. So not too long away. So pretty much everyone's going to just move up one. And that's why we have Bork here. Again, just in case of an injury. He's in and he's good to go. And then looking at the power play line too, we've got to remember to put Kyle Ockpozo back there. So we'll throw a thing back here. We'll put Bork just for the time being. Not too... like, it's fine. It's fine. We're not really focused on the line. So he's gone until the 24th which is a little bit less than two week injury. So we'll go to the first here. Just in the first month. Ockpozo is already ready to play. So that's good. Let's see if he's actually ready to play though.  So let's see. There's a show... where does a show where he is... if he's still hurt or not? Does it not show it here? I don't think so. Okay, we'll just throw him in. That's probably something we're gonna have to just check later. But let's throw him back in. So pretty much everyone just moves back where they were. Bork gonna be out of the lineup once again. And Kyle Ockpozo back into that lineup there. Okay, perfect. And let's continue him in the first month. And he's hurt again with a broken nose. So we'll wait a couple days next time. We're learning as we go here. Broken nose once again for Kyle Ockpozo. And we got to throw Bjork back into this spot here. A little left wing. And Anders Bork. Is Anders his first name? It is. Look at that. Me knowing things. Okay, central scouting ranks. We'll skip that over. We'll do head coach replaces player. That's in the AHL. Ben Chirot for a fifth, a seventh, and Malcolm Subban. Interesting little trade. I don't know how I feel about it, especially because we're trying to tank. Ben Chirot is only in 81. He's 31 years of age. Probably a contract we don't want to take on. So I will definitely just say no to that. But thank you. Another injury in the AHL. We'll do edit lines manually. Clegg's got to come back in. I don't remember who replaced him. What position is he? Clegg? Clegg? Clegg? Where is he? I can't seem to find him. Interesting. Is he already in the lineup? Yeah, he is. Okay, they put him in already. So I don't even have to worry about that. That's such a beautiful thing. All right. Kyle Ockpozo is back. We will just hit continue for now. And it looks like this is glitched out. I don't know what's happening here. We are currently 5-2-0. What is happening? Oh my God. Oh no. We lost our first two games and we went on a five-game winning streak. Okay, let's get to the end of the month and we'll throw Ockpozo back into the lineup. 5-4-0. That's more like it. A little worrisome there. We are fourth in the Atlantic. A lot of teams are just behind us though. Crazy. It was glitched and I don't know why. So let's throw Ockpozo back into the lineup. He should be good to go. And there we go. So we got our full healthy lineup back after the first month. Again, 5-4-0. We are above 500. Looking at the stats. Victor Olsen is looking like he's having a little bit of a good run in that month there. 9 points in nine games. Skinner is 7-9. Middle stat is 7-9. Good for Middle stat. And Tuck is 7-9 as well. Little minuses there. How's our goal-tending doing? Craig Anderson, Comrie, sub par, which is okay. Again, we're not looking to win games though. So little interested in that. We'll go another month. Like I said, I think we're going to simp up to the trade deadline just to see where we're at and then we'll gauge from there what we're going to do with the trade deadline. I think that's pretty good. Eric Comrie to get a second round pick from Vancouver, but we're getting rid of a third and a fourth as well. Doesn't seem like something too smart for us to pull off there. So we're not going to do that. We're continuing to lose games, which is nice. John Merrill, 3 years, 1.2 mil. I'm not looking to unload draft picks though, so I'm going to decline that. We win a game there. Not ideal. Payton Krebs is hurt until November 19, so we'll do head coach replace his player manually. A little win against the Bruins. I don't know what's happened there. Payton Krebs is back. Let's just make sure that he's actually put into the lineup. He wasn't, so let's do that. Payton Krebs back into the lineup there. We're going to have to stop the simming because the game glitches out for some reason when you do that. We'll head back to the first of the month. I'm sure Scout's calling us. We sent them out for two months, so we're going to have to just redo it again once the two months is gone. Shyamalone is injured until January 8th, so he's out for a while there. We're winning games. I don't know what's happening. Henry Yoki Haru has an injured foot and will be out until December 5th, so that one hurts a little bit. I don't think we have any defensemen up here with us right now, so we're going to have to call someone up. Let's go to roster moves. Let's call up a defenseman that will have to replace Yoki Haru for the time being. We need a right-handed shot. He's hurt. Fits Jail. There's our next backs option. Maybe we just bring in Clegg and then hope for the best there. Let's call up Clegg. He's probably going to be playing the right side unfortunately, unless one of our defensemen is a lefty slash righty, which does not look like it. He's going to have to play the left side just like Samuelson.  Maybe throw, I don't know what to do here. We'll just keep it like that. That's what the line is going to have to be for the time being. Now the AHL, we're going to just bring in a defenseman here. We'll bring in Elliot, 24 years of age.  And then, you know what, we will do best lines, and that is that. So there we go. Let's stop the simming here. Not a trade I'm interested in. Again, this thing's going to glitch out. Henry Okiharu is back. We're just going to sit him out until the first of the month, which we have hit already, and we are 12, 9 and 2 after 2 months, which I actually cannot believe. We are sitting in 4th in the Atlantic again, which isn't great. We have 24 points. We are luck in a tank. Henry Okiharu is back, which is good. So with that being said, is he still hurt? He is. Let me go to the injury report, see what it says if he's actually ready to go, or what. So where is injury report? Right here. And Henry Okiharu, playable injury, injury to his foot, returning December 5th. But they're saying he's good. It's saying it's a playable injury.  I actually can't remember. So go to roster moves, and we are going to send down, I believe it was Bryson? No, it was not Bryson. We are sending down, I think it was Clegg. So we're going to send down Clegg, even though he went up and over all. I believe when we called him up he was a 77, but we're going to send him down, and we will go back to edit NHL lines, and throw back in Mr. Henry Okiharu, substitute in all lines, and then we will bring back in, who did we bring in? He went up to a 73. No, that's not who did we bring in for him. 15 games, 18 games, 18 games. Who did we bring in for him? Was it this guy? It might have been this guy, if it was, and whatever. Clegg's going to come back in and play first line minutes, and now the lines are all set up and good to go. So, holy Jeff Skinner's having himself a season, 30 points in 23 games. Okay, take Shompson 28 and 23, 26 and 23 from Olufsen. Jeff Skinner is leading us in goals. How is goal-tending looking here? All right, Craig Anderson, what we're looking for from you, and I'm looking at our goal-tenders in the AHL. How is UPL doing? 9-20 save percentage. He's still in an 88 overall, but he is looking good, man. That's our goalie of the future right there, and UPL. So, that's good to see, and we will quickly simulate up to the trade deadline and call it an episode. It's probably going to be a little longer of an episode that I'd like it to be, but it's okay. So, we're going to simulate one more month. The trade deadline is coming up. So, let's go one more month. Maybe we'll go two more months, and then the trade deadline, like I said, will be next episode. So, we're at the first of this month, we're going to go to the first of next month, and just hope that we keep losing game. So, Tage Thompson's been injured until December 14th. Ooh, okay. He was doing very good for us. So, pretty much everyone's just going to move up one, and then we need a center to come in, which will be Raleigh Sheehan. And then, unfortunately, Bjork's going to have to play his offhand, but that is okay. So, there we go. Everything set up. Dylan Cousins getting some first line minutes there. We are doing okay. We take a loss. Another win. We're on a little two-game winning streak. We'll do head coach replace his best player there. Malcolm Souban. Get rid of a third and a fourth to get a second from this year. How are the Vancouver Canucks doing? Again, I don't think this is a trade I'm willing to make. The Canucks are doing decent. I don't want to get rid of two draft picks, even though we're getting a second. I think we're going to just hold off there. Anders Bork has been injured with a sore knee. So, our depth forward getting her. So, we're going to have to call someone up. And I think it's going to be Roosa Linen. So, he earns himself that little promotion there, doing well in the minor. So, he will be our fourth liner here. Injury bugs hitting the Buffalo Sabres. But you know what? It's getting our young players into the lineup, which is good. We'll do best lines. Or no, let's edit the lines here. Kind of just move everyone up one in the AHL. And then call someone up here. I guess Warren will get a little shot going there. And then we will do head coach preferred lines for the time being down there. So, AHL and AHL lines looking good. We're going to have to pause the sim here. Tage Thompson's back, but we're going to continue. Give him a couple days rest. So, let's go up until the Colorado game. And then we'll throw Tage Thompson back into the lineup. Decline that trade real quick. 4-1 loss. Bork is back. We'll just continue there. And a 5-1 loss there. So, we're losing games, which is good. We still have a very good record. We're third in the Atlantic, which is kind of concerning. Like I said, I had a feeling we're going to be a middle of the pack team. And it's what it's kind of looking like here. So, let's move everyone back where they're supposed to be. And then Tage Thompson is coming back into the lineup. And then, you know what? We'll keep... I think Gergeson... Was Gergeson there? And then who was here? Who... Bork was scratched, right? So was Rooster Lyon. And, okay, we'll keep it like that. We're going to send back down Rooster Lyon in, since he is not getting any playing time. So, let's go do that real quick. Where is he? Rooster Lyon in. Send back down to the miners. And now, let's go edit the lines here. Throw him back in the AHL, where he was playing top line here. Pretty much just got to send everyone down one, like that. And then Rooster Lyon in coming back into that lineup. Did his job when needed in the NHL. So, thank you for that. And we'll continue simming this month. I'm a little concerned that we're not doing as bad as I thought. So, maybe come to the trade deadline, or maybe even earlier we start making some moves to ship out our good players. I think that would be kind of just a good idea there, because we are doing good. Owen Power has a mild concussion. He will be out until December 24th. So, that's another defenseman down. I don't think we have one up here that we can use. So, we might have to call up a defenseman if I'm not mistaken. So, let's go do that. Rooster moves. Who's the defenseman that's been doing well for us in the AHL? Kind of give him a little promotion since there's been an injury. I guess Clegg would be our guy here. Yeah, I guess Clegg is coming back up to the team.  So, that works out there. So, let's throw him in. Pretty much Bryson's going to get some second line time there. Some second pairing time. And then Clegg is going to head into the line up there. We will edit the lines here and throw in whoever can play. Right defenseman.  And that sounds good to me. We're going to have to stop the Sim because it's going to glitch on us once again. Horrible thing that they just absolutely need to fix. It's actually kind of annoying. So, keep Sim in here. Owen Power is back. We're going to give him to the end of the month. I think that's fine with me. Elyl Bushkin's hurt now with a sword. But you know what? Now's the time to bring in Owen Power. Another defenseman getting hurt. So, we'll put Clegg there. Bryson's going there. And then Owen Power back into where he's supposed to be. So, that sounds good to me. Four to win. Samuel Sin's hurt now. That's another defenseman.  We're going to have to go and call someone else up from the AHL. Again, another promotion. Someone's going to hopefully take a shot with this opportunity. We'll call it Fitzgerald. That's our next best defenseman, which is actually insane.  But he'll be playing third line minutes anyways. And that looks good to me. Now the AHL is going to need some quick fixing here, which we are going to do very quickly. Throw in Elliott. And that looks good to me. So, now it's going to be the end of the month here with a glitched little thing. And last game of the month, and Samuel Sin is back. We'll just hit continue for the time being. Shyamalan is back as well. Hit continue there. And it's a 5-0 loss. So, we are 19-14-3. Like the savers, we're doing good. We're back and forth tied for third with the red wings. The Leafs are having a horrible season. Canadians too. We're doing decent. And I'm not a fan of that, guys. Like I was trying to take. I'm not going to lie. But it is what it is. So, as anyone's overall has gone up or down, doesn't really look like it. We have a defenseman back. So, Samuel Sin will be coming back into this lineup. Just like that. And Clay will go back down there. Okay. And then who is scratched that we got to send back down quickly? It is going to be Fitzgerald. So, let's do that quickly. Go to roster moves. And we are going not to, not to harassment with Dali. And that's for sure. Fitzgerald is going to head back down to the AHL and get some playing time there. So, yeah, I'm not sure what to do with this team. I thought we were going to be losing way more games than we're winning. We're going to simulate one more month. And with that, we are going to call it an episode. And then you guys can kind of just give some input and help GM Lifer to see what we can do with this team to just kind of make it where we kind of start losing some games and try to tank for a top 10 pick. So, Rasmus Dallin is hurt until February 8th. So, not a timely injury. We didn't want him to get hurt. Owen Powers going to get first line minutes. He's up to an 83 now. Ilya Labushkin is back. So, we'll throw Samuelson down there. And Ilya Labushkin will go back into that second pairing there. So, that looks good to me. We still have a line that's not full. Extra attacker, Tage Thompson. And we'll do Dylan Cousins. And then a shootout. We'll throw in Dylan Cousins here as well. All right. So, there we go. Lines are all set up. Good. Dallin's out for a bit. Philip Myers. Interesting little player here. 73 overall, 25. He's a depth defenseman. Two mil with a year left. Is he someone that we could pick up? I think he is. The way our defense has been getting hurt, but we have better players than the miners. So, we're going to decline of Philip Myers. There's no point in taking him. We'll do head coach to replace his best lines there. Same here. Hit continue. And we're losing some games now, finally, which is good. But we're getting points in some of these losses, which is actually crazy to me. Dylan Cousins is hurt with an injured elbow when he is out until January 28th. So, that's another huge loss for a second line center. So, middle stat. Gurgensen will get pushed up. Do we have someone who could play center? Riley Sheehan can. And do we have someone up here who is scratched onto his Bork, who will get back into this lineup? He's been with this team a lot due to players getting injured. So, the lineup looks good there. We'll keep it going. Ooh, the trade deadline is coming up. Gurgensen has been injured.  That's another injury there. And I hope I'm not going to be simmering past the deadline, okay? So, we've got to call up someone. Let's call up Peyton Krebs. You know, I'll give him a little bit of a shot in the NHL here. I wonder how his AHL numbers were doing. He's going to be playing fourth line for the time being, just until... Oh, no, Cousins is back. Okay, hold on. So, Cousins is back, which means he will slot back in here. That's perfect. And we don't need who we just called up back. So, let's go back to roster moves real quick.  That's a little weird of a glitch as well.  That was weird. I don't know if that was just glitched out or what. Let's continue and let's stop the simmering here. And we got to the first of the month... Or where's the trade deadline? The trade deadline is coming up. Okay, so no, we... I don't know. The menus are glitched, man. It's actually crazy. Let's go to the first of the month. We've got two games back and Cousins hurt himself again. Okay, so now we're going to have to call up Peyton Krebs, give him that shot that we were going to give him before. I guess Cousins wasn't ready to go just yet. So, everyone's going to move up one. I kind of want to throw him into the third line roll and see what's going on. But Gurgisons is back now. Okay, hold on. We're going to give these guys time to actually, like, recover before anything bad happens. We're going to move everyone up a line, like that. And we're going to bring in Kozak. Looks good to me. And Gurgisons is back, so we'll just hit continue. He'll be out until the last game or until next month, essentially. Okay, so multiple players are back, so we will edit lines now and see who is back. I believe Tage Thompson's probably... Or Dylan Cousins is probably going to be one of those guys. So, let's quickly do this. Meilstad, Sheehan's going to go there, and Dylan Cousins is going to go here. Sheehan's going to go there, and then Gurgisons is going to go back there. Now, defensively, do we have our defenseman back that are hearth? It doesn't look like it, so Dallin's not going to go yet. We're going to go back to Ross, who moves quickly before we end this episode, and we are going to send down Payton Krebs. He's on a one-way... Ooh, I'm playing a risky game here. Okay, we're going to send him down one more time. No one claimed him, thankfully. We'll throw him back into the AHL. I didn't know he was on a one-way, so I was really like just kind of almost screwing him over and risking the chance of losing him, which is crazy. Okay, so now the AHL lines are all set up. We've got a full healthy lineup now, and we're on the 1st of February. We are 22, 21, and 7, so we had a horrible month, which puts us back in 7th into the Atlantic, which is good. Looking at the NHL, the Devils are having a horrible season. Canadians are not having a great season. Are we in a top 10 pick? So let's see. Yeah, so it looks like we are right now, if the season were to end, getting a top 10 pick, which is good. That's what we were aiming for. Jeff Skinner kind of cooled down a little bit. 49 points in 50 games, Olufsen 47 and 50, Tage Thompson 44 and 44, so that's pretty good for him. So it's looking good. We're hoping to just kind of tank for a top 10 pick here. Overall, has anyone gone up or down? It doesn't really look like it. Owen Power is up to an 83 now. He's a minus five, but six goals, eight assists, and 48 games isn't too bad for Owen Power. Henry Yoki Haru is doing a little decent for himself as well, and Dallin's been out for a minute here. And goal-tending, Calmery 905, Craig Anderson 901, how is UPL doing down in the minor? There's 9-10, 28 games played, 18 wins, decent little stats from him, Malcolm Subban having an okay year, but we're really just staying focused on UPL. So we're going to end the episode there. Trade deadline is coming up. Next episode. So I want you guys to let me know what exactly we're going to be doing for the trade deadline. If you guys have any thoughts, we have a whole month to go, and then the trade deadline is on the 4th of March. So I think realistically, if we can unload players that we know aren't going to be here for the foreseeable future, we unload them for picks or prospects. And looking at this team, who's that going to be? Kyle Ocposo maybe, Toxa guy that stays, Vinny Hines-Stroza maybe. Other than that, like this team's young, a Gurgensen can go, a Sheehan can go, a Labushkin can be a rental for a cup contending team. Goal-tending, I don't really think goal-tending is a spot where we can really trade one. Maybe Craig Anderson if someone's looking for a little decent of a backup and have Eric Armory run the crease for the season. So those are the three players, four players that might be on the move to get some young prospects in or some picks in. So that being said, that is it for this episode. Next one, we hit the trade deadline, and we try to make this team worse so we can get a top 10 pick. If you guys have any suggestions, be sure to leave them in the comment section below. My little scouts, hopefully you guys can help me out. And like I said, that is it. We'll see you guys in the next one where Buffalo will be making some big moves come the trade deadline.


Morning everybody. I'm back in the shop and we're getting ready to leave towards the sketch one We got to go to Langbank's a sketch one, which is just inside the sketch one from Manitoba Five to six hours from here where I am. I gotta go grab the trailer hook on to that It's those tires that we picked up in Burlington, Iowa. They need to be delivered tomorrow morning So we're gonna get there tonight sleep there deliver it in the morning and head straight back home empty Then I have a week off We got some exciting things going on in this coming week. I'm taking a flight out to Louisville, Kentucky For a day just a day and then I'm flying back because it's my son's birthday It's his birthday and then we have his birthday party on the weekend And then we have a doctor's appointment the following Monday So it's a it's a big weekend in there sometime if I have time which I probably won't I'd like to come in here and get some work done in here, too. I might take the Tuesday off, too Then I don't really want to do that Taking enough time off this month. I'll probably do it next month I need to take a day off just to work in here again and get some things Cleaned up. I'm gonna throw throw things out. This is an old treadmill Not even sure if it works anymore.  I want to be able to present to him a clean shop clean organized shop clean organized semi truck To put that in his mind as the Representation of normal to him in his mind said he grows up taking care of things and keeping things organized and clean So I have to set the example that's how our kids learn the most I learned the most too by watching my parents grow up Look what I ended up doing right my dad's a truck driver and here I am too. I'm sure there's a correlation there I'm sure there's something something along there And brought me towards trucking so whether or not he wants to be in trucking or not, I don't know It'd be cool I'd love to be able to run a business with him one day with several trucks I'm a little tiny fleet of trucks with him. That'd be cool, but we'll see what he wants to do as he grows up But what I want to do for sure is present to him a lifestyle of keeping things clean neat and orderly Real quick before we get started today's shout-out goes to our friends at beaver bitcoin Beaver bitcoin comm slash trucker Josh is where Canadians can go to stack Bitcoin It's a non custodial site. So you buy Bitcoin from them and they put it directly into your own personal wallet Go check them out. The link is down below in the description below the video Let's get back to it. And that is definitely not what I am presenting now not by choice But just because of time constraints. I haven't had the time. We have a we have a baby at home So obviously I'm gonna prioritize that. I'm not gonna spend a lot of time here when I should be there My time with him is limited already And he's watching this video in the future anyways, maybe there's a lot to go through but if you are Theo Hopefully I have presented a better image in your mind of how to live your life And this is I understand life sometimes gets carried away and things get messy That's cool But we always strive to make things better make things clean Make things presentable and be proud of the spaces that you occupy. Take care of it. Take care of things So I've got a lot of work to do yet This is going to the house in summertime all of this stuff in here That's a shampoo or for the carpets in the truck and all of this stuff just needs to find a better home This is my drum set. Yes, I play the drums. I Haven't in years, but I did take many years of lessons when I was younger. I used to play in A couple bands around here and stuff that is getting sold eventually and I'm probably gonna sell the motorcycle to When I'm ready because the money for these two is gonna go into a side-by-side that we can use as a family Yeah, anyways enough of this This is a vlog channel. I'm honest that I am not perfect. I have a messy shop right now We'll fix that so I gotta book off a date for that probably next month. I already I'm already taking this week off I shouldn't take another day to do this I'll put it in that. I'll put it into a different pay period. I think so so I'm gonna get all blue started up here Get her warmed up and we'll get my trailer and we'll head into the sketch one. Let's go all right, so got hooked on to the trailer and And Sun is starting to go down so 6 30 That's pretty good that we still have so much sunlight. Oh right now the times did change but So sketch one is now lined up with Alberta time in mountain time. So sketch one doesn't have daylight savings time They don't change their clocks because they're smart. They're smarter than us We should be doing that too not changing our clocks, but we do so for winter time Saskatchewan time comes back To Manitoba time to help us stay warm in central time through the winter But in springtime like this they spring away from us and hang out with Alberta in Mountain time to have fun all summer until next winter when they come in so that's how I remember so right now in Saskatchewan They're on mountain time So let's get going. I think I'm gonna fuel up In heading Lee. It's my cheapest fuel on my route today. I Was in a rush to get home We fueled in St. Cloud Minnesota last maybe I should have topped it off on the way up Grand Forks, but It is what it is didn't have time to stop again.  That's a terrible spot for you to set mr. Son Oh, man, you have to almost stare straight at it, right? Straight towards the Sun You should be down in about five minutes in West People four and a half hours of driving at the customer and sleep right there overnight. It's the bonus Wake up in the morning. I think they get there on 630.  I'm ready to take the straps off tonight So that they can just go to town as soon as I get there tomorrow start unloading Get the paperwork Load these tires it's the morning. So we're gonna end this here. We're gonna start the next video Shipping receiving is just in there.  I've already explained this to you I don't know why I keep explaining the same things to you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I repeat myself Sometimes I forget what I've already told you and I tell you like five times Anyways, I'm gonna run in here. So thanks for joining me today, everybody.

She's served global recognition for her work, most recently winning the Fallen Walls, Science in the Arts category in 2020. Please join me in welcoming Su Wen Chang for the beta zone. Thank you Bert for this kind introduction. It's a pleasure to be with you here today. Two sets of eyes take in the same scene. The same light passes through two different apertures that see entirely different things. One set of eyes is muscle and nerve, evolved over millions of years. Unique in the universe, perhaps, but better understood with each passing day. One set of eyes is metal and plastic, engineered for the task at hand. Uniformly constructed yet growing in a complexity we may not be prepared for. One is mechanical, the other biological. And they collide and this collision might seem extraordinary and it is, but it's also the basic condition of our lives today. The truth is we're seeing double. It's the double view of machine vision, the view through security cameras, social media and satellites. We've constructed a world where all sight is dual sight and all seeing is a bridge between the contradictions of nature and machine of art and engineering of self and the collective. The poet Adrian Rich said, we're living in a time of unprecedented complexity. Our senses are currently whip driven by a feverish new pace of technological change. The activities that mark us as human, though, don't begin, exist in or end by such a calculus. She said that over 20 years ago and that's only been more true over time. It's true. The rate of technological advancement is accelerating. The machine's role in society is evolving. The questions raised by AI systems, robotics and technology can point to a bleak future. They make us ask questions about whether machines will replace robots and whether machines will replace workers and whether machines will replace artists too. It's hard to look at a headline today without feeling one's anxiety stir. Will we be replaced? Will we replace ourselves? Or will the machines somehow save us through technological advancement? Will they liberate us from want, keep us safe and healthy in a way nature never could? Will they offer us a way to transcend our evolution? This duality, the promise of its power and anxiety of its consequences, shapes my worldview. I would go so far as to say it shapes us all really, with every time we're thrilled to connect with friends around the world and every time we're convinced our phones are listening to our private conversations. With every time we throw a prompt into mid-journey and then wonder about the training data. With every time we get excited about the release of a new phone while seeing images of technological waste in landfills. My work at its simplest level is about exploring the contradictions that stem from duality. Exploring how these contradictions point at a third path, what I like to think of as a new hybridity. It's a space I feel at home at. I think it might be because I'm a product of two cultures, of two languages, as a child of a musician and a computer programmer, with the fascination with science and art. I think that's why I've spent the past decade compiling the oldest forms of art, with new forms so advanced we actually have to invent the technology as we go. And it's no secret that you and I and everyone we know is a participant in these contradictions as well. Often we live this duality unconsciously and in our sleepwalking we risk forfeiting our agency. I explore these themes in my work so I can feel grounded within these contradictory poles by actively building bridges between them. We're already living hybrid lives so let's make choices about that hybridity. So I look to art to serve as a bridge between these contradictions. Not to resolve them into some new cohesive whole but to entangle them and illustrate the ways in which they're already entangled. Paintbrush and pixel, art and engineering, human creativity and artificial intelligence. It's about engaging in an active process past techno-optimism, past reconciliation, exploring contradictions in the natural and the mechanical, exploring the medium of art itself. I believe that art is a process of thinking and these processes are rituals and rituals, old and new, are vital forms of world building. A way that fear and hope can be held in the mind at the same time. Machines treated with compassion yet imbued with perceived agency but understood as the product of human bias and not peers in thought. And to bridge these contradictions we need to build more syncretic disciplines and comfort with practices that unify multiple traditions. Working with AI and computation is a way to expand what art is and what art can be. Art as cognitive science exploring alternative forms of consciousness. Art as engineering, constructing robotic systems for empathy and connection. And art as philosophy imagining new social and moral constructions for this human-machine relationship. And at the intersection of these fields my team and I create. We create simulations, performances and artifacts across scales. We work in the large scale like this relational robotic performance integrating satellite and biofeedback. And in the small scale, like these, like the small scale, like these prototypes for robotic units inspired by the microscopic threads that link fungi into a biological network. We look for intersections, that gray area between human and machine and we stumbled upon it in the first project in a series called drawing operations. The practice began with Doug one. Doug one was about scene which is the first step towards knowledge. Because to know the world we must first observe the world. It worked through computer vision and a robotic arm. We started by taking one of the most visible frequencies in the color spectrum red and deploying it for our first collaboration. We thought if we could utilize the machine's reductive functionality, its ability to be selectively colorblind, we could communicate drawn gestures to the robotic unit in real time. By converting the movement of the drawn line into digital signals, we were able to suspend those lines. Like recording the choreography as an improvised dance as it was unfolding. In order to create a duet on canvas, we relayed the positional data back to the robotic unit, back to the stream based simulation, back to the space of embodiment. I aimed to break the dichotomy of human versus machine, to build a technology that doesn't encourage more of the same or reduce through replacement, that doesn't atrophy physical processes in service of computational ones, a technology that creates something new as it's being used. After exploring the duality of sight of computer vision versus the human eye, we were inspired to explore the next generation of drawing operations. We moved from sight to the record and recollection of sight. We were inspired by memory. We looked for the possibility of approaching machines beyond pushing the physical limitations to parameters to its limits. To do that, we needed to draw from a larger network and construct a framework for machine interpretation. So like human memory, we looked at two decades of my drawings as a kind of data set. It was like embedding a record of my own memories into the artwork. We trained a recurrent neural network on two decades of drawings. It produced an AI system rooted in the analog and given new life in the digital. Memory and acting on memory created a collaborative partner in Doug 2. This revealed the possibility of using machines not only as tools, but as non-human collaborators. Now I'm not in control. I'm working with it to a common and unexpected outcome. It leads and I follow and I lead and it follows. It's a tree of decisions based on uncertainty, flow and improvisation. We're being told that the purpose of art and AI is to automate the process of making and I disagree. Instead, I'm adapting my own artistic gestural memory through working with algorithmic prediction rather than being replaced by them. Automating my work isn't the target of the AI system. It could be said that the approach to art is the approach to co-creation. To manifest this third thing, it's co-equal and gesturally empathetic. It points the way towards a relational interaction that offers a new form of knowledge production in action. Art practice as research, art as interdependence and not co-dependence. With my third drawing operations piece, I thought of the gaze of the machine and began to see vision as multi-dimensional, as views from somewhere. We collected video from publicly available camera feeds on the internet of people walking on sidewalks, cars and taxis on the road, all kinds of urban movement. We wrote a vision algorithm based on a technique called optical flow to analyze the collective density of velocity and dwell states of urban movement. Instead of a collaboration of one to one, we made a collaboration of many to many. By combining the vision of human and machine with the city, we reimagined what a landscape painting could be. Sometimes I wonder if perhaps the future of creativity isn't in what it makes, but how it explores new ways of making. Not either or, but and. Not binary but plurality towards a continuum of relations. Because doing this work has taught me how abstractions like artificial intelligence don't come from nowhere. They're constructed through our existing histories, philosophies, and cultural perspectives. Our metaphors for the other. And they don't exist in a binary but in a continuum of material, social, and cultural relation. It's easy to forget that there's no such thing as artificial intelligence because there's no such thing as a single natural intelligence. If we continue to challenge our idea of what intelligence actually is and what these configurations with technology can be, what would we be able to see? In my view, this is where we are today. We're seeing double. It's not human versus machine, but human and machine. This is our future. And in many ways, it's our present. To me, this is our emerging relation between human and machine. This is the third way, the hybrid, where human intelligences and the unique agency of machines collaborate. This is my bridge between the contradictions. And I'm excited for the beautiful unknown wonders that will emerge from it. Thank you. While we're waiting to set up, thank you very much for that speech. It was really inspiring. I'd like to maybe take my rotteries for privilege and ask Suen a few questions before we open it up for the floor. Suen, in your work with Doug Won, you've mentioned that the limitations of the robot actually were part of the adaptive process. I'm thinking as a technologist that the limitations of the robot and its ability to rough-cake human behavior may shrink in the future. Do you think that will affect the way that your interaction with the robot will happen and what you can learn from it? Absolutely. I think with each generation of robotic unit, I'm on my fifth generation now. We've explored the limitations of the system and kind of tried to push against what that might be. For generation one, we worked with simple computer vision. With version two, we used a recurrent neural network and delineated the drawing data from two decades of my analog drawings. The limitations between analog and digital there. With generation three, we took the crowd data from New York City and implemented that into a system that extracted the positional gestures. I think we're always really quite inspired by the limitations in order to create something expressive. Also, in terms of understanding the data, understanding the technology a little bit more. I think with each generation, I've learned a different thing. As robotics and AI become more advanced, I think there's always going to be points of friction between what happens in maybe the analog and in physical space and what happens in the simulation. I think that's what we're always trying to push against. I think through developing this kind of expressive configuration with machines, we're able to unlock different novel use cases for the integration of robotics in society. Robotics with a sort of human behavior and gesture. I think there's a lot of different kind of entry points for thinking about different kinds of sensor development in this way. I'd like to pick up on what you said about the interaction between society and humans. Part of your work you mentioned picks up on the duality between our hope for the future and the power that AI and robotics is going to bring us, but also our fear at the same time about the potential consequences. This is a theme that we've seen in many other of the sessions, but kind of viewing it from a different perspective, let's say technological or economic or policy-wise. I'm wondering, from your perspective as an artist, do you think there are things that the art perspective of this interaction between humans and AI can bring to the table that those other perspectives might not have? Yeah, absolutely. I think obviously what I said in the previous question about developing novel use cases and features for different types of technological development, that's maybe kind of the more engineering focused mindset, but I think at the end of the day what interests me about this approach to art and technology and art and engineering is it's about a meaning making and about trying to create a novel and maybe more existential problem from the tools at hand. I think there's a lot of value in artistic practice from a level of creative expression, but also trying to make sense of a lot of these new developments in image generation, in sensor development, in a way that can really impact the individual. I think artists throughout history have always attempted to create meaning from their tools and surroundings and I think this is no different. I think the difference with this is I think there's an opportunity to really explode and really illuminate the black box of technology and make it meaningful for the sort of maybe the person who's not in industry and not deeply involved in the development to understand their role in that configuration, so I think there's a lot of interesting intersections there too. Yeah, I really resonate with your point about creation of meaning because I think one of the fears that a lot of people have, you know, face the AI is kind of a loss of meaning, right, because you're taking over your job. There's a lot of misinformation as well. And things like that and so I think your emphasis on using this and our interaction with it is a new way of creating meaning, it's a really powerful metaphor and way of thinking about this. Yeah, so I don't want to totally hog all your time. Of course I could talk to you forever about this, but maybe we can open up to the audience if there are any questions. Just raise your hand. Thank you for the very impressive presentation. Also as we can notice from the video and there are many paintings that are completed by you and AI, you call it as core creation, yeah? And how can we define the values for such creation or other works completed by the artificial intelligence and also human as the core workers? And the second question is, as we can see, there are more and more AI artists in different areas including music, paintings, but it can be an opportunity and also challenging for human. But can you use several words to summarize the relationship and the future between human and AI or missions? Yeah, thank you. Yeah, I think there's quite a few questions there. It's something that keeps me up at night and I think about a lot, because on one hand it's really exciting to see so many people engaged in visual culture in a way that hasn't been available. I'm thinking obviously image generation like Dali, mid-journey, stable diffusion, all tools which I've tinkered with a little bit. Obviously that's really exciting, but on the other hand it's that promise and peril of these tools and that does exploit, there is some concerns about attribution of artists in those data sets and what. And that's obviously an area to be taken very seriously. At the very least it displaces a lot of industry and jobs. So I think for the industry of image generation we're witnessing a lot of new policies unraveled that I hope will not stifle the incredibly powerful possibility of people being involved in visual culture without exploiting visual practitioners. And I think there is, there must be an ethical way to approach that if we can solve for so many things we can solve for that hopefully. For my work which thinks a lot about gestural memory, artistic memory, and feedback loops and time, a lot of what I do exists in physical space. So a lot of what I'm doing is adapting to the robotic unit through various sensors that record my presence in the room for the simulation and then the deployment into the physical apparatus. But I think for me the feedback loop is really mark by mark to the point where that delineation is not as important as the thing that is made together. That's the metaphor and the process that I use. I think it's really exciting. You see these types of feedback loops deployed in robotic units being used alongside surgeons, right? It only enhances the practice of that delicate industry. So I think my work is maybe, maybe I should never be a surgeon, but I think it's more along the line of layers of human-made marks and machine-made marks that really drive what I do. So when I think about collaboration I think about whether both can be implicated in a process that I, you know, both learn from. I think you've seen through almost 10 years of this robotic development that it's continually in motion and continually building upon the next. And I think I would say that my own practice has as well. Yeah. Can you wait for the microphone? Thank you for the presentation. With your experience on AI and creativity, what is your thoughts on AI and filmmaking? I think some of the new image style transfer, I'm thinking runway generation three, I think it's really exciting actually. I think there's so many ways that AI filmmaking makes you think about style and memes in a new way. I'm thinking about the Wes Anderson Balenciaga edits. Again, trying to find new layers of meaning with traditional filmmaking and that kind of narrative is, yeah, I think it's really surreal but very, very exciting. Again, I think it's about getting more people into the language of filmmaking, into the language of narrative and time and video. So at the same time, obviously there are some concerns, obviously there's the writer strike going on in the United States about not eliminating the human in the process and also being respectful of what industries are displaced. So, yeah, it's always sort of to head a dragon, I guess, but for my purposes, being always fascinated with film, I found it to be a really interesting entry point. And to refer to older artistic styles and animation that really blurs the line between live action and the image. Yeah, I think there's a lot to be said about that. Yeah, because I recently saw Tom Cruise with AI, they had Tom Cruise in the next Mission Impossible. It's going to change a lot of filmmaking. Yeah, definitely. But I also think that using Tom Cruise as an example so much about what he does is about the narrative of the stunts that he does, the narrative of the human actor pulling these incredible feats of athleticism and daring that always draws to the box office for his movies. So that can't be replaced by AI systems unless we are interested in an AI system jumping out of a plane at any point. But, you know, I definitely think a lot of the ways in which the technology is innovative becomes quite sensationalized. I think there's still so much room for human presence, even in the use case of a Tom Cruise movie that won't be replicated anytime soon. But we'll see. Oh, right in the back here. Good morning. I wonder if you could just talk a little bit more about your co-creation concept. We tend to think of tools as an extension of human capability, but you're implying a creative feedback loop where you're seeing creativity originating the machine, which is feeding back to you. Could you expand on that a little bit? Yeah, definitely. I think I can understand that co-creation is a term that gets thrown around a lot these days. What I find co-creative about the work with the robotics in particular is that with every interaction, with every time I engage with the system, I have to actually physically learn how to work with the output of the recurrent neural network, physicalized. I think there's that aspect of it that that makes an end the fact that my gestures are in response to gestures being made on canvas. There's so much of that that it's how I would define collaboration, which is mark making their time, and both actors being creative catalysts for one another. How that works on the machine side and we're actually developing a new generation based on this is that we're inputting new data into the next generations of drawing with Doug, drawing with drawing operations at the unit all the time. In that way, there's a relationship between how I adapt and how the machine system responds to my work that for me hints at co-creation. I will say it's not the same type of collaboration as a human being. I think that's a false metaphor a lot of the time, but I do think there's something very tenuous and time based about the practice that keeps on invigorating my own artistic and creative and technical development. We're pretty much almost out of time. Maybe I'll just use my moderator privilege to ask the final question to wrap it up. I'd like to ask you about the future. You talked about a number of systems that are integrating more and more data and different types of inputs and so what is the next step in this journey of your exploration of the collaboration between human and machine? Thanks for setting that up. So we're obviously there's so many interesting ways to approach this intersection. We've started, this is how I like to see it, we started from the very small and immediate. We've started from the drawing data set where most drawings are very much in the realm of art, very small in scale. We've looked at computer vision. We've looked at movements of cities and from that we went to the very small, you'll see here, I'm painting with biofeedback EEG headset. So we went from the city to the scale of a brain wave and I started thinking that in all these processes it's just a series of flows. What flows through the robotic unit is electricity. What flows through my own system is electricity in a different scale. So I've been really interested in thinking about planetary flows and what that means for thinking about the earth as a cybernetic system, which it has some precedent in certain areas of philosophy, thinking about Gaian systems and such. So yes, expanding the sensor apparatus to the scale of the planetary to try to understand a little bit more about what that means for the next generation of the robotic units, which is called flora rearing, agricultural network, Fran, a series of robotic units that steward nature powered by a sustainable resources like solar and microbial energy. So yeah, breaking apart even what is a machine and what is an input is always a source of endless curiosity for me. So I think that's next. That's really inspiring. I'm sorry we don't have more time to follow up on that but I think this idea of like integrating art and humanity and actually the entire planet together is a great note to end on here at the World Economic Forum. So thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you very much.
