Okay, I'm going to get started because I know we're getting close to lunch now. I'm not going to try and compete with the food here in downtown Portland. So my name is Stefano. My talk is going to be about open source hardware. I want to start off right away by saying that I'm not going to be talking about a lot of stuff that has to do with Intel, but I do work for Intel. So I work for the Intel Open Source Technology Center, and I work contributing to the Yachto project. My talk is actually going to be about some stuff that's sort of been brewing in my head for the past few years. And I worked for a company before Intel over in Lake Oswego, so right around the corner on the other side of the mountain. And we did embedded software and hardware. So we did display modules that went on medical and industrial, medical industrial stuff. And there was a lot of stuff that I learned while I was there that I really started thinking more about open source hardware because we weren't making open source hardware. The hardware we were making was proprietary, but it got me thinking about it and what we can learn from it and how we can take advantage of it. So I'll just start off by just a quick definition of open source hardware because it's, I know most of you probably know what it is, but it can be sort of nebulous when you try and define it. So the definition I'm using is from Oshawa. Oshawa is the open source hardware association. They were founded in 2012, I believe, in 2012. And so the idea behind defining open source software is that you can't patent a scientific fact. You can't put a label on something and say, this is something I'm going to try to sell if it's a scientific fact. So when you try and create open source software and you try to define it, you run into this issue. You can't make an open source chair, four cylinders and a plane make a chair and you're not going to patent that idea. But the idea behind open source software is more the concept behind the intention. So if your intent is to allow somebody else to reproduce this material and to actually go into production with this hardware, then you essentially qualify as open source hardware. Now Oshawa is doing a lot of stuff to make this much more accessible. They're developing a community around this idea, which is really important. And we're going to get back to that idea of community quite a bit. Because I know that we all understand community and open source software world, but open source hardware is just the same when it comes to community. Another thing about this talk, I'm not going to be trying to convince you that you need to open source your hardware because I know that would fall on deaf ears. That's not my point. In fact, my point isn't even to, I don't want you to love open source hardware. I don't even want you to get excited about it. I just want you to be a part of it and to see where the advantage is. And if you already happen to use open source software, I want to give you tools to go back to your leadership and to your boss and to show them why you need to use more open source hardware and more techniques that are used in the open source hardware world. So let's start off by giving you a couple of examples. And I know a couple of these will look familiar. There's one up in the top right corner that I'm sure a few of you have seen before, and there's a couple of people at the conference you could talk to about the BeagleBone. The other one is the Minnowboard that Intel is offering. It's interesting. So I worked with Reach on embedded stuff, and we did all arm stuff. And when I moved to Intel, one of my first things was to grab the Minnowboard, start playing around, and see what it could do. And one of the things that struck me that hadn't really struck me before was how your development model changes and embedded when you go from cross compilation to no cross compilation. It really is a big win. And I'm not going to try and play the game of let's talk about what the benefits of X86 and ARM are. It's not my point. My point is more is here's an open source board being put out by Intel that uses the X86 platform, and it's open source from start to finish. The software is open source, the hardware is open source. The latest version, I believe, is going to be Class B certified. So I know a lot of you will know that's a big win. So here's a piece of software that you can go get the Gerber files for. You can get the schematics for. And it's completely open to do what you will with it. And I'm also not going to get into licensing. I know licensing is a big thing, but I'm not a lawyer. And I can tell you that there are definitely licenses out there that are more permissive than others, much like software. But I'm not going to get into that. So then the last one I want to talk about a little bit is the Olimax. Olimax is the one in the bottom center. And I know a lot of you probably haven't heard of Olimax. In fact, could you raise your hand if you have heard of Olimax? Oh, nice. That's a pretty good crowd. Awesome. Yeah, I always think of Olimax as creating some of the best open source software from a company that you probably haven't heard of yet. So I think it's Svetan Usanov, which I hope I didn't murder his name, is the head of Olimax. And they're in Bulgaria. And he's actually been running that company for 25 years. So he's been doing this for a long time. And one of the reasons it's up there is because I wanted to talk about his process. He gave a talk at a Hackaday conference recently where he described his process as open source from development to production. And that's an interesting concept because, like I said about open source hardware being all about the community, at the end of the day, if you're open source from your development all the way to your production, then the open source community has a say from when you start developing all the way to when you finish it. And if you use what you already know about open source communities, that means that you gain the knowledge that all those people have right from the get-go. So when you're designing your board and you say, oh, I think these are my requirements, well, see what the community has to say about that. Because that's your guess at what your requirements are. But then watch what the community has to say as you move forward and see if there's maybe a requirements you hadn't thought of or something you could have pulled out, some I.O. you could have pulled out that you wouldn't have thought of. So Olimax is a great company. Check them out. There's a few other companies that I'm sure a lot of you have heard about. So I'm not telling you anything new here, but I have to give props to those who've done a great job. There's also, if you go into the big room in the middle, there's 96 boards. They're doing a great job too. So a lot of people are starting to realize that we all implement SPI. We all implement I2C. Like, we can share these things. These aren't the core competencies of our companies. So there's a lot of value to be gained in the open source community. And if anyone ever says, well, open hardware, how do you make a profit doing that? I would tell them to go talk to the folks at SparkFun. I'm sure they'll have something to tell you about how to make a profit using open source hardware. But again, this all comes back to the communities. And I think this is the big question that I want to be able to answer for you, is I know about open source hardware. I've been using open source hardware. How does it help me? Who cares? What do I do with this information? Well, so I've been at Intel now for a year. And one of the things that they say quite a bit at all the company meetings is they want to concentrate on innovation. Innovation is a huge thing.  They'll always talk about innovation. And the key to innovation is creativity. Now, I realize that creativity can be really hard when you're sitting in the center of four beige fabric walls. But regardless of what your desk space looks like or where you work, open source hardware opens the door to ideas that are new. And anytime you can do that, you're feeding creativity. So by ignoring open source hardware, you're going to ignore all that possibility for creativity. And it also gives you the opportunity to try things and fail. And really, by trying things and failing, we learn that way. That's how we all get started. Anyone in here who programs, and I'm sure everyone would raise their hand if I said that, everyone started by failing. You write some code and it doesn't compile. But that's how you learn. And it's the same with hardware. So what I'd like us to do is try to think more like makers. And I know that, especially anywhere from large corporations to even standard businesses, we'll sort of poo-poo the maker movement. And to be like, well, you have to, in production, you have to have things that are available for 10 years. And there's a strict standard that you need to follow to do all this stuff. But that maker mentality, that hacker ideal, that's the thing that breeds creativity. So while, yes, some of this stuff should not be put into production that you see on the maker websites, at the same time, that core idea of how to be creative and change the way you think is what we're missing in business. So one of the things I like to say is hack your proof of concept. So when we sit down and say, all right, I'm gonna start this proof of concept for either a new product or maybe an addition to a product that already exists, what's the first thing you do? Because it shouldn't be document and have meetings and theorize and research. All these are good things. But the first thing you should do is hack something together. Because just like programming, hardware is the same. Once you hack something together, make some mistakes, you're gonna see things that you didn't see before. And I'm gonna, later in this talk, I'm gonna talk about ways that we can do that given the cultures that we work in. So whether it be big corporations or even medium and small sized companies, there's lots of ways you can do this. Another one, open source hardware is free as in freedom, as in speech, that sort of idea. There's tons of knowledge to be gained. I just mentioned research. The amount of research you can do on your own without taking advantage of somebody else's work, forget it. But take somebody else's work, what they've done, that they've open sourced and learn from that and you've just quadrupled the amount of knowledge you have, especially if the hardware is even related to what you're doing. Often we learn because other people show us the way to go and then we try soldering something to that thing and seeing what happens.  And the last one I had to use an acronym because I work for Intel, so always be creating. Part of that process is not thinking of the prototype stages ending. Don't think of your proof of concept as being just one thing. Make it be 10 things. And even if the customer didn't want one of those things, try it out and see how it works. So let's talk about a couple of people that I see doing this in the public sphere today. So open source lab is a book by Joshua Pierce. He's a professor at Michigan Tech. If you haven't gotten this book, I highly recommend you get it. Now, why am I talking about a book about research where I'm actually, raise your hand if you're in medical research right now. Okay, so we got one, whoo. So I worked at OHSU, Oregon Health and Science University right up in the hill, so I've done medical research, if you could call it that. But the idea I'm trying to get across here is applicable to all walks of life in the electronics and technology industry. He talks about how to take advantage of digital design sharing and specifically using things like arduinos and rep wraps. Now, and rep wraps are just three printers, if you haven't heard of that. So the idea here being take advantage of whatever's at your disposal to solve the problem that you need to solve. So one of the things I noticed when I was at the university hospital was that a lot of times the tools that I needed were needlessly expensive. So one of the examples I'm gonna use from this book is the Dremel Fuge. Partly because I love the name, because I have a Dremel on my desk. But here's an example of something with a very high perceived value, a centrifuge. A centrifuge must be expensive, right? That's gotta cost a million dollars, right? Maybe a couple hundred thousand. But the idea being that, yes, if you're working in a medical research facility, you might need that tool. But if you're working in a school, you might just want a centrifuge to show the students how that works. But you're not gonna wanna pay $300,000 for one. So the idea that this book brings out very well is sometimes the tools you'll need are right around the corner. You just need to find the right open source avenue to take.  And for the cost of a Dremel, 100 bucks, take the cost of the paint can, you've got yourself a centrifuge. So solving problems in inative ways sometimes means using things that other people would never have thought of. So you have to dig through wherever you can to find these little tricks. So another great book, which some of you might know, is Building Open Source Hardware by Alicia Gibb. She's the executive director of Ashwa, the nonprofit that I mentioned at the beginning, and the CEO of Lunchbox Electronics. And she wrote this book, which is a great read for anyone who's interested in open source hardware. It sort of goes through the history and the design process, but it also touches on derivatives and that's something I wanted to talk about a little bit. I'm gonna preface by saying that in case you were confused, I'm not a lawyer. So please don't take anything I say in this or the remainder of the talk as legal advice, but derivatives are a very interesting topic in hardware just like they are in software, and I don't wanna get into a GPL talk either. So there are lots of permissive licenses out there that will let you take these Gerber files and these schematics and use them in your proprietary hardware. But even if they don't, the things that you can learn from that are still invaluable. So just because you can't copy and paste out of the Gerber doesn't mean you don't wanna look at that. You still wanna look at that and learn all you can and again, talk to your lawyer, because that's really important. She also talks about 3D printing. 3D printing I think is one of those things we forget about. So I work at Intel, but there is a 3D printer in a lab somewhere that I can go use. So if somewhere in my day I find myself going, oh, if I just had this part, don't think about the vendor, don't think about tenure availability. Think about going and making that part right now so you can try that thing. And they talk about this in the book. And they also talk about production manufacturing and stuff I'm not gonna get into here. But I think that's the idea that I wanna get across is that by using all the resources at your disposal, you'll become more creative. Another talk, I actually wanna just borrow from another talk here. This is the logo with the spanner on it is from a video series called Applied Science. Applied Science is by Ben Kroz now. And he gave a talk at the Hackaday conference that I'm gonna use some of the stuff he said because I think it bears repeating and it's extremely applicable here. So the first one is build first, ask questions later. A lot of times, especially when you're in that corporate mentality, you'll get into the habit of saying, well, I need to have four meetings with these four people, then I need to drop this kind of documentation which we may or may not use. Just build something and see how it works. Gather data. I think it was Arthur Conan Doyle who penned the words that you can't make a decision without data. It's useless. So go out there and build something and see what you get. The next is to prototype early and often. So the idea that there's only one prototype, I know from a corporate standpoint, from a manufacturing standpoint, yes, there's probably only gonna be one, maybe two or three prototypes because those are expensive to spend. But we're gonna get to cost a little bit later in how we can fix that problem. But the idea that there's only one prototype is something you need to get away from. There needs to be dozens of prototypes. And again, we're gonna get back to how we do that without spending thousands and thousands of dollars on prototypes. But one of the things I wanna think about too is getting out of that QEMU mindset. So I mean, my last job at Reach, we only cared about whether or not it worked at the board. Does it boot on the board and does it work on the board? And often we forget that. We get into this habit of saying, well, let's just make sure it runs in QEMU. Okay, it's good enough, let's go. That kind of mentality, I think, is necessary in some instances. But in a lot of instances, we're just not taking advantage of the ability that we have to build interesting things and try it out on hardware. So last thing, again, I'm gonna, or not the last, what's second to last? I'm gonna once again reiterate the fact that I'm not a lawyer, because I just put the word patents up there. And I think I could hear Intel's lawyers shattering. So Ben mentioned this in his talk and claims are sort of not what I'm talking about, not the claims of the patent, but rather the specs and the drawings. There's a lot of data that can be drawn out of that. There's a lot of information you can get just by looking at these things. Now, again, please go talk to your lawyers. I'm not a lawyer, but still interesting stuff that you can use. And then finally, purchasing off the shelf items. This gets back to what I was talking about when I was talking about cost. You wanna know at the end of the day what are my customer's requirements? What do I need to be able to do with this item? And you won't know your requirements until you get stuff in the customer's hands. And you should get as much stuff into the customer's hands as possible. So by using eBay or Alibaba or finding on Amazon or going to the dumpster attack, again, the lawyers are angry at me because I just said that. But whatever you gotta do, if you've gotta go find something on Craigslist, find something, glue it together, get it in the customer's hands, see if it's what they want to use. And that sort of gets me to my examples. So I'm gonna be drawing these examples from where I worked at Reach, my last company. And what I'm trying to do with these is give you an idea for the sort of problems that I solved that I saw. Oh, with that open source hardware, I wouldn't have been able to do this. This is really helpful. So the board I've got up there is the UDO. Actually, show of hands. How many people have used or know about UDO? Yeah, not very many. More people should know it.  This is really amazing stuff. So these guys are in Italy and they're making this MX6, well, they make lots of stuff, but this MX6 board is the one I was using. It's very close to the board we were doing at Reach. The difference is this board has an Atmel processor, Atmel microcontroller on it. So this has got the MX6 SoC and an Atmel all on the same board and it's sort of made hacker friendly, maker friendly. So normally you would think, all right, what am I supposed to do with this thing? And that's the mindset I want to change. There's a million things you can do with this thing to try out things for your customers. So the example that I'm doing here is multi-touch. Multi-touch is one of those things. So our boards at Reach had capacitive and resistive displays and we used TS-Lib and we didn't do multi-touch. The idea of moving over to multi-touch is not a small endeavor. I mean, unless you're lucky, unless you just plug it all in right and it works and you're like, cool, multi-touch. And you all know that's not gonna happen. So getting that working on our board would have been tough, but there's a community around UDO and a really good one. And taking advantage of that community and their knowledge was invaluable because we had a customer who was coming to us saying, well, we like your product and we want multi-touch. So we wanted to know, okay, first off, is our product right for the customer and is that customer right for us? So in other words, is multi-touch right for us and are we right for the customer? And we answered that using UDO. So we just spun up a quick demo on the UDO. We threw a multi-touch image on there. I think it was just out of Yachto. But we threw an image on there that worked with multi-touch. We showed it to the customer. The customer loved it. But when it came down to the end of the day, the customer wasn't right for us. So we didn't go with that project, but we did like the multi-touch. So we decided, all right, let's put this on the back burner and we can come back to this community later and figure out how to implement multi-touch for our board. So the knowledge that we gained from that transaction was worth so much more than research. It was an actual customer opinion of, yes, I wanna buy this from you. So now we know this is a sellable thing and we know there are people that have got it working on the chip we're using. So it's win-win. The idea that I like to think of when I think of this example is that we're able to make quicker decisions. It would have taken us a while to get multi-touch working on our board and we probably would have been great with it. That would have been awesome. But we were able to do this much, much quicker. So the time savings was worth it. The next one, same board, this time, Android. How many people out here have done both Android and custom embedded Linux on a board? Anybody? Okay, so you guys know that is not a simple switch. You know through experience. Everybody else knows because they think about it in their head and they go, yeah, that doesn't sound like an easy switch. That's not an easy switch. That's, nobody would say to their client, sure, yeah, we run Linux that we built with Yachto and yeah, I'm sure we could do Android too. Like, no, no, no. So this customer wanted Android and again we wanted to know are we right for the customer? Is the customer right for us? So we went back to the Android forums. We found people that were running images, running Android. We got Android on the bar and we started working with the customer. Now this is interesting because my boss at the time hated the idea of Android. He was an old school embedded guy so Android was like the last thing in the world he ever wanted to put on a board. But as soon as you get a customer with enough units suddenly it's an interesting idea. So by being able to do a demo with these clients with Android running on the Udo we were able to see that not only were we not right for the customer as a company, we didn't want to be in the Android space. Now the reason why is because we would have had to have hired a headcount which means we would have had to go out and get the funding from a client to get that headcount to support Android because none of us were good enough with Android to be able to do it. So by using this as an example we learned that we didn't want to add that to our core competency and that took zero meetings, zero dev time. Our hardware people had to do exactly zero hours of work and we knew Android not for us. So I'm not saying don't use Android don't get our impression but we learned something really quickly and didn't have to spend any cycles on it. So when your boss says why should I use open source hardware or why should I let you use open source hardware to do proof of concept tell them well would you rather the hardware guys start spending cycles and they could try stuff out because I'm sure that'll sort of connect the dots for. So the last one, different board, same idea. This is the wand board and I don't know anything about its open source status that you do, you can go online and get the Gerber files and the schematics and all that lovely stuff. I don't know about the wand board. I do know you can get the schematics but I don't know about the rest. But that's okay because the point I'm trying to make here isn't about so much needing the Gerber files or anything like that. The idea here is between how do you debug something complicated without doing a whole lot of work? That just sounds like I'm trying to sell a snake oil now that I said it. But what we did was we mocked up we had a customer who was using our prototype we had already reached the prototype stage we'd spun a board and we were showing it to customers and we ran to an issue with the fi we were using a micro fi. All right, so anybody who's been in the situation where you got your prototype something's going wrong you're about to like break out the checkbook, right? We're gonna need hours of development work hours of hardware work this is gonna be hard. So what we did is we saw that, all right well you've got the wand board out there and the wand board is using the atheros fi and the you do is using the micro fi. So, well a fi is a fi why are they using different fies? So you start digging into those communities into the forums and you'll find other people with the you do are having the same problem. So with exactly zero hours of dev time exactly zero hours of hardware spinning or debugging I don't even know how you debug a fi. Can't imagine it's fun. But without doing any of that debugging we found a possible cause to our errors a possible cause to our bug. We swapped out the fies on our next prototype rev we used the atheros and it worked fine. So using this example this is the perfect example of how community is invaluable. Without those forums on the you do site saying yeah I'm trying this and I'm getting the same thing oh yeah here's the thing I did to fix it I just threw this in the kernel config and now it works fine and you know it works fine and that it's slower and seems buggy but I think it's okay.  So that transition was so much easier because of that community. So not taking advantage of these communities just seems crazy to me.  So this is sort of the point I'm trying to get across is that there is all of this information all of this knowledge out there and if you don't go out there to the wild with that knowledge you're just missing out.  And if you think that the world acts like it does in the four beige cube walls it doesn't. Outside people will experiment with different things that you didn't think of soldering together. So if you think your problem is really unique and nobody else is doing this thing go check out the forums.  So I've talked a whole lot about the good parts of using open source hardware. Let me give you a couple of quick pitfalls that I ran into so that you guys don't make the same mistakes. The first one is confusing the customer. So it's always a great feeling when you get to open source something. So I wrote a program that interacted with our boards at reach and I realized one day this program interacts with our boards and customers all use it. I'm just gonna put this up on GitHub. Why not? Let's make it open source. I mean, right? It sounds like a great idea. I mean, we're all on the same page, right? This is a Linux convention. So I put it up there and I was like, all right, I feel good about myself. I'm like, hey, look, I'm an open source programmer. This is really cool. Took about three days and tech support was sitting next to my desk and saying, hey, so why is this on GitHub? And I said, well, because, right?  This is just code that interacts with our board. Who else is gonna use this? This is cool. And he's like, no, no, no, no. Customers are going to GitHub and downloading the wrong version. So, okay, so open source, good. Not documenting bad. So definitely be careful when you open source stuff. It doesn't matter if it's your hardware or your software. Document, document, document. The community is the invaluable source behind the invaluable part of open source. So if you haven't thought about the fact that you're gonna develop a community, think about it, because it's really necessary. Your customer is gonna hit GitHub and they're gonna hit the branch that has four versions back on it and they're gonna try and put it on the latest board. The next one is losing set at the target. So a lot of times you can get sort of cut up in the maze that is the internet of the maker world. There is tons of information out there and tons of stuff. And you're gonna think, all right, well I'm gonna use this part and this part. I'm gonna develop a community around this idea. Oh, that'll be awesome. And next thing you know, your email is starting to get filled up by makers that have Gmail addresses and your core audience is 1,000 units a month. And this isn't to knock on communities. Like I said, the community is the important part, but be sure that you're ready for that. Be ready to support a community. So if you do wanna do something in the open source realm, develop that community around it because the community will come back to bite you if you're not ready for it. And the last one, I'm gonna reiterate this one more time so that nobody yells at me. As they say then, so I'll take five and go talk to legal. All the stuff I'm saying here is my experiences, just stuff that I've tried and it works really well. But I'm not a lawyer even remotely. My degree is in English and French literature. So if you take legal advice from me, keep that in mind. Okay, so I know lunch is already upon us. So let me just close this up really quick. The idea here is to always think open. All of us use open source software. Why not use open source hardware? I've just demonstrated some great benefits behind it. The idea that you can think like a maker. Use that to innovate. If your customer comes to you and needs a real time clock, don't build a real time clock. They're out there. Just go find one on eBay and glue it to your machine and try it and see if it works. Sometimes J.B. Weld is the best solution. Real time clocks are just a personal example because we did have a client that wanted that and we did kind of J.B. Weld it to our board. So the next one is be part of a community. Really quick, there was Olamex mentioned in their talk, this really great part of the community that sort of came into effect for him. So he does all his open source stuff right from the get-go. And right from the get-go, he was using 3.3 volts to feed his SD card. And he was doing that because that's what it says in the data sheets. And as we all know, the data sheets never lie. So definitely follow them. So he's feeding it with 3.3 volts and somebody in the community comes up and goes, hey, so I see you're doing that thing that we're all doing. Well, we found that actually there's a way to feed that with 3.3 volts and 1.8 volts and you get a lot more speed. And by a lot more, it was four times the speed.  There might be some really valuable information in that community. And the final one is to, if there's one thing you take away from this, it's to hack first and gather data second. It just, like I said, JB welds something together and see if it makes any sense because all the meetings in the world can't give you the requirements you need. They'll give you the requirements you think you need. And then you'll go to the client to find out the 30 requirements you didn't have. So just cobble something together. So that's my talk. If you wanna yell at me in public, there's the at symbol thingy that you can use. If you wanna send me an email, there's that thing as well. And I'm happy to take any questions. And there's a microphone somewhere, but I'll just repeat your question. Go ahead. So the question was about the open source FPGA world. I do not. There are people at an FPGA booth over there that might know something. I'm actually studying FPGAs right now at PSU at the college here. So I'm really interested in that subject, but I didn't have time to research that from this. Does anyone here know? True. No, like, but it's all that FPGA though. Okay. There are four. Okay, and they're Lattice. Okay, so just to repeat, it's Lattice FPGAs and who is the person? Clifford Wolff. Clifford Wolff. The name is Wolff Sys. Yossys. Yeah. Okay, Clifford Wolff. That's probably easier to Google. Awesome. Anybody else? How's your chance? See, this or lunch? I know it's a tough decision. All right, everybody go to lunch.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspie's Case Breaks.com. Happy Choo-Choo's Day. We're coming at you with some 2023 Tops Chrome Baseball Jumbo Edition. Eight box. Pick your team number 13. All-Card chip and big thanks to this group for making it happen. You have another Jumbo. I sure did. Where are they? Oh, they're right there, right? Right in the baseball section. Really? Yeah, there's two cases left. One I posted and one is unclaimed. Who knows who's gonna get that? David with LastBot Mojo with Dodgers. There's everybody else. Let's pop this case open. Was it an exciting trade window? Or trade deadline? What does everyone think? Dodgers were linked to a lot of players They're linked with Justin Verlander for a second. He ended up going back to Houston. They were linked with Michael Lorenzen, who went to the Phillies. Dodger were linked to Eduardo Rodriguez, who has some no-trade features in his contract. I guess he enjoys staying in the Detroit area. Said no. Jack Flaherty went to the Orioles. I think, was there some talk about maybe Bill and Cease? I don't think Bill and Cease went anywhere, right? Dodgers got a lefty arm Yarbrough from the former Ray, current Royal. He got Yarbrough, who is probably most likely gonna, I think he was used as an opener somewhat frequently in his raise days, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure what the Dodgers plans are for him, but kind of a quiet trade window for the Dodgers, trade deadline for the Dodgers. I think Dodgers fans, especially myself, expect a little bit more than that. But we'll see how it works out for my boys in blue. Their offense has been playing really well. Starting pitching is a little bit of a concern, but maybe they're not as concerned as we thought. There's Michael Toglia. Rookie Otto for the Rockies. The camera, the switch cameras again, I think this camera is having a hard time focusing here. Let me try to adjust this really quick. Let's go manual focus. And I want that focus to be set at a certain distance. Right here is probably good, right? It looks a little too bright as well. Sorry, we have a new camera. A little bit better, I guess. We'll have to dial in down the brightness a little bit here. We'll see. We'll have to live with it for now. I think it's good enough for now. All right, so Rocks, that's going to be for Tim and the Rockies. Ryan Boone saying the Guarding got rid of Josh Bell. Thank God. I can't believe someone wanted him. Too bad they couldn't get rid of Miles Straw as well. There's Ezekiel Tovar, 25. Orange Wave for the Rockies, another Rock for Tim. We always got more of the Dodger and Podger than when they traded Chapman. Yeah, so who were the prospects that went to the Royals? Gilo, I think when I saw the news, I didn't see who ended up being moved. There's a base Corbin Carroll for Tyler. And our next autograph is Alec Burlson for $69 out of $4.99. Cardinals making a lot of changes, trading away a lot of pitching. That's going to be for Sam Rael, St. Louis. We've got a Alexis Diaz, $254 out of $3.99 for the Red Legs. That'll be for Michael S. And our third and final autograph of our first box is Nolan Jones. Oh, nice. Thank you. I was going to move that at some point today. There's Rockies. That's going to be another Rock for Tim. I'm going to keep it there. I'll find a room for it. Once all the offices are moved around, we'll find a good home. Got to take my board. All right, we'll do an autograph recap at the end of the break. Next box, Devin Mann and Derlin Figueroa. I've never heard of those guys. I'm not sure if they're on the, they might be in the top, I don't think they're in the top 30 prospects for the Dodgers. No, Devin Mann's actually number 29, an infielder. Derlin's not on this list, though.  Many Scouts regard Mann as more of a good college player than a quality prospect while he was at Louisville, but the Dodgers like to unlock some more upside, draft him to the fifth round. He has increased his power defensively as a pro. A little bit on the older side, enjoying his besties. He has a 26 year old in triple A in 2023. He doesn't have a huge healing, but could fill a utility role at the big league level. That's not bad for Ryan Yarbrough.  That always needs players like that. Next box. We got Will Benson, 77 out of 2.99. That's going to go to Ryan and his Guardians. Aaron Savalga moved somewhere, and the Guardian's kind of retooling, trading, retooling a little bit. Rex is saying to you, I'm not like, I'm not sure how I like having to go back and forth, although I'm seeing now both next out and, and what, YouTube on at the same time on your phone? There you go. I mean, if you want to watch Instagram, you'd have to do the same thing. It's not any different. Flipping between YouTube and Instagram. Not sure what the complaint is. Photo negative, Brian Reynolds, Pirates, Mark, and we got David Valar, rookie auto for the Giants. That's going to go to Tyler. And there's an Adley Rushman, rookie refractor. Nice. That's the sort of stuff we want to see. Aaron and the O's. Oriel's picking up Jack Flaherty. That was a nice move. Ah, that's true. I guess you don't really do personals as often. Well, I suppose you'll just have to learn, Rex. You don't have to be nimble. You don't have to, you don't have to figure that out. Maybe, uh, maybe two devices. You can have an iPad. You can have a phone for one stream and iPad for the other stream. Man, there's Shay Lang Lears. A's, rookie auto for Eric M. And it's strange how many players, uh, that's, you know what? That is true. I kind of noticed that, too. A lot of, I guess a lot more players than, than usual seem to be going back to teams they used to play for at one point or another. There's Matt Libertura to 199. I don't know why I top-footed that, but, but there it is. Box two in the books. Next box, next jumbo box. Forgot to put this in the schedule, but I don't think there's anything sold out after this, but the spray will take about an hour. We're already about 13 minutes in. So with the moves that were made, who, I guess, who won the trading deadline? A lot of people talk about who wins the off season, but I don't know if that's usually indicative of how, especially in baseball, how a team's going to look the following year. Look at the Mets and Padres did and now, now look at them. Although the Padres don't look now, but the Padres in the last month have been playing some great baseball. So maybe, I think they were buyers. I think they added, added some players. I think they're looking, they're looking to make a run. In the AL, the Orioles made some moves. They're leading the division. So is Texas, so is Minnesota. Toronto made some moves. They're third in the wild card. Yeah, Houston picked up Verlander. Houston picked up Verlander and they're second in the wild card and the Razor first in the wild card race. They're five games ahead. I think they're going to be fine, but Houston and Toronto make some moves. Red Sox not making moves. Yeah, the Angels are only three back of a wild card spot and they picked up Geolito among others. They need some help on that front part of that rotation. You know, give the team a little confidence as well. Sometimes that alone helps with your team's abiding team. They added some hitters too, which made an impact the other night already. Here is Tyler Freeman for Ryan and the Guardians. Cleveland! This is for you! Another Guardian for Ryan. So yeah, Angels making moves. So that's good for them. Yankees not really making moves. They're three and a half back of the wild card at Albert Pujols to 125. Seattle is three and a half back. They're within striking distance, but I don't know if they really made too many buys. Look at that. An ultraviolet, Adley Rushman. Nice one for Aaron and the O's. It's a case hit. Yeah, the Angels needed that starting help and that's for sure. They can't just rely on Ohtani. Although Patrick Sandoval is having a decent season. But yeah, they could use another guide towards the front of that rotation. And then we got a Rookie Auto. Joey Manessus, 196 out of 499. Rookie Auto for Patrick Davis and the Nationals. Lacey up in this. Got a nice rookie silver here and Michael Harris. That's going to go to Matt and the Braves. So let's see how the trades shake out in the AL. What about the NL? Do we have any difference makers in the NL? Trade windows. So the Braves are already leading the east, Todd is leading the west, Cincinnati is leading the central. Did Cincinnati make any additions? Anyone remember? Mark Vientos, 299. I thought they'd be a lot more aggressive, but maybe they like what they have. Dodgers made some moves. We're going to see Lance Lynn tonight. That was the Dodgers pick up. Hopefully he can eat up some innings. But the rest of the Dodger starters get healthier and hopefully work through some a little bit of a slump. 48 out of 150. Logan Ohapi for the Halos. That's going to go to Kenny. I think San Francisco made some moves. They're leading the wild card. Philadelphia made some moves. They added Michael Lorenzen, I believe, which kind of short up their pitching staff. Who trade turners been slumping a little bit? He needs to, he wakes up and everything starts clicking. That'll be good. Ah, Ryan's thinking the reds picked up a relief for the A's. Um, I think Arizona made some additions. Miami made some additions. I think Brewers added a reliever. Cubs are three and a half games out. They made some, they made some moves here, made a couple little moves to help them out. The Padres even made some moves. There are five games back of a wild card spot. I think they're, I think they're trying to go for it. That's going to be a tight race between the Diamondbacks, Miami and Milwaukee are all tied for, well actually it's super. I mean San Francisco, Philadelphia, Arizona, Miami, Milwaukee, they're all within a game of each other. And then the Cubs are currently on the outside looking in at three and a half games back. The Padres are five games back. Those are the teams that seem to be pushing for a wild card spot. That, that, that list, that whole entire list could be completely different within a couple of weeks. Mets are six games back, but it looks like they're putting up the white flag for the season. So dumb question, Rex is saying, no one can do any trading for the rest of the season, correct? However, they can sign people. Yes. So players that are released can be signed, I guess at any time. There's Connor Cappell. Yeah, it does Ryan. If anything, it creates more, more aggressive buyers in the market, right? That extra wild card spot having three total A's, that's for Eric M. So it kind of prevents nice Jordan Walker rookie refractor prevents straight up fire sales for most teams keeps most teams in it makes more player more teams makes more than buyers and there's Esther Ruiz, the speedster out of 299. And if you are trading, you probably get a decent return because there's not as many sellers and a lot of buyers. So it's teams that do have to sell might get some better, it might get a better return. It's 14 out of 250, Brandon Hughes, purple chrome autograph. So maybe that maybe it works for everybody for the cubbies that's going to go to Stephen Carney. There's a Josh Young rookie refractor that's going to go to Tristan in Texas. Yeah, that one game wild card was a little awkward. Now we've got now we've got a short little series and that makes a little more sense in terms of baseball. That's a might might not be a bad we'll keep seeing how it plays out as the years go on but not a bad move by a major league baseball. I think we've got a Jeremy Pena flipped around here. Is that maybe a short print? Maybe not, I don't think so. I think the end of the card should be 181, base is 121, this is 121. Yep, yeah, a little, a little nice little eight game whether we're there on an eight game winning streak and Cubs. Yeah, that's enough to change a team's mind. I think that's what happened with the angels as well. They had a nice little week and that kind of changed their mind. They're like, well effort, let's go for it. There's Anderson Espinoza, rookie auto for the Padres, that'll be for Brooks and the Friars, DL Hall to 399. I mean, it'd be hard to believe that like the DFA market is not going to be great. I doubt the Cubs are going to get anybody in the DFA market the next few weeks because like, who are they going to take off the roster for that player? I mean, I guess maybe they'll pick them up for for a minor league role, but I mean, Nelson Cruz got DFA. Is he going to get picked up by the Cubs and drop a player from their current 25, 26 man roster? There's an injury maybe. Yeah, I thought the, I don't know, we'll see how the dust settles on what happened with Dylan Sees, but I thought Dylan Sees was a good candidate for the Dodgers. I thought they would make a real big push for him, but maybe the asking price was was too high. Yeah, so let me see. According to mlbtraderumors.com, Red Sox acquired Luis Urias. This is what Ryan was talking about earlier. Josh Bell went to the Marlins. And Guardian's got some guys back. Got Khalil Watson will Khalil Watson and will release Jean to grow. Khalil Watson is, I feel like was was at one point a higher touted prospect for the fish. I dodged, he's got Ryan Yarbrough. So he's kind of bolster the pitching staff. Padres acquired Scott Barlow. Blue Jays got Paul de Young. But I don't think, yeah, he was a first round pick, right? So I don't know why they were moving him for Josh Bell, but maybe, maybe there was no space for him. Maybe Watson hadn't progressed as, as quickly as they wanted him to. Tommy Pham to the Dyman's back. That was a good move too. Well, Padres also got Rich Hill and G-Man Choi from the pilot. Rich Hill's been having a decent season. He's a, he's a great, great pitcher for the back of that rotation. So Padres are really going for it. So let's see how all these trades shake out. It'll be very interesting to see. We've got something for the twins, Louis Varlin. Rookie Otto for the twins. That'll be for Dylan. Ah, he hasn't been hitting that well on A-Ball. Well, if the Guardians minor league system can unlock something, if their coaches can unlock something in them, that'll be a great deal. There's Clayton Kershaw, photo negative. He'll be coming off the IL soon. Dodgers just rolling with it. They're like, hey, we don't, we don't need to add too much. We like what we got, apparently. Or perhaps the price was just too high. A lot of teams knowing how rich that Dodgers farm system is. Oh yeah, I know about the auction thing, Rex. We've been working pretty closely with Fanatics over this past year on all sorts of fun features. 60 out of 299, Spencer Steer. Purple speckle. Got him on my fantasy team early on this season. Picked him up off the waivers. He's been playing great. I feel like if there are a few other rookies that didn't exist in the NL, you know, he might have a good shot at some, uh, some rookie of the year votes. And yeah, that auction feature on Fanatics Live, I think it's going to be one of those things where, um, you know, that'll, that'll, in lieu of say, let's say we're trying to move a team or something like that or a few teams, maybe in lieu of a filler, we can use that auction function and just move teams that way. It makes it a little more interactive and fun. And that app allows that kind of fun. We're going to have a lot of fun with that app, especially it's still, it's still in beta. We were, we, we had a nice meeting with Fanatics at the national on Friday and spent some time with them. And, uh, and some of the big wigs, some C-suite guys. Here's Nelson Velazquez. Was this the player? Was Nelson Velazquez moved? Yeah. He's on the Royals now. So Stephen Carney with the Cubs. Still Cubs edition in this set. But that's what he's about. Bigger post that's here? Yeah. Checking the back cabinet or Marin might have something. Three boxes to go. But yeah, talks a lot of Fanatics folks, couple of C-suite guys, some of the Fanatics events guys. Um, so they've got a lot of, uh, they got a lot of big ideas in the pipeline. Now for now, I think the, the reminder to everybody is that the Fanatics Vibe app is still in a, uh, in beta form. They do, I do have to make some adjustments on the, on the back end of things in terms of shipping. So there may be, unless they fix that already, they've been fixing a lot of things pretty quickly, but, um, but I think shipping wise, it takes a little extra time. So giving them the little patience there, but yeah, that should be a pretty, it should be a pretty fun app. A lot easier for us to use on that end as well. They're not, Adam. They're working on it as we speak. It's Gabriel Moreno, 230 at 250. It is, it is a, an issue. It's a known issue. It was, that was the plan anyway. They wanted to start with iOS, but they're, they've also concurrently have Android in the works. That should be out in a month or two, but they're not ignoring Android and how many, how many people in the world use, use Android. I think from a, from, uh, if you're not familiar with develop, development, developing, a lot of developers will, will build on the iOS platform first. I think there's just a lot more challenges to making it work for iOS and a lot more, a lot more challenges to get that into the iOS app store. A lot of regulations there. So that's why most apps, I think even back in the day when like Instagram, Twitter, Uber, Lyft, stuff like that, when a lot of those beta apps were released, they're all for iOS. So once you can clear that Apple store platform and the complexities of iOS, then it's a lot easier to build right on top of Android and then push that out. 47 out of 299, Bryce Johnson. Yeah, we saw some base Corbin carols, but nothing numbered, no color, no autograph just yet, Tyler Z, but thankfully we saw one more autograph in this stack and two more boxes to go. We got Michael Conforto, gold wave to 12, 12 out of 15. More people also use iPhones. I thought Android was probably, isn't that the most used platform though? Between, between Galaxy and LG and Google Pixel and here's a James Almond autograph. Nice rookie auto for David and the Dodgers. Last fought mode, nobody wanted him. Everyone just stared at the Dodgers. Didn't want to take him, James. Almond hitting a lot better in the last month or so. Might want to get the power numbers up just a tad, but he's playing well. All right, two more box to go, six autos to go. Yeah, that's what I thought. Android has 70% market share, but it's not like Fnatic was like, oh, I forgot about Android. No, they did not. This was planned from the get go. Also developing a desktop version as well. I don't know which is going to come out first, but they're working on it. Here's Christopher Morel, 113 out of 150.  And I know it's kind of hard to see from the viewer perspective, but they've got a big team. They've got a really smart team there. There's Ramon Laureon from 199. A's, that will be for Eric, but they've, you know, Fnatic's either poached or recruited a lot of smart programmers from around the industry.  Yeah, this is a short print. Josh Young, you can already tell it looks a little different. So you can see there's that tiny little serial number ends with 173 instead of the usual 121, which is the base. 181 is a super short print. This is just a short print here. Very nice. Rangers. It's going to go to Tristan, who got Texas straight up. And we've got Simeon Woods Richardson, twins. That will be for Dylan in Minnesota. We've been seeing a number of those base Corbin carols. I'm going to find some, some actual Corbin carols, some, some Parallels, some Autos, 72 out of 350, Danesby, Swanson for the Cubs, Steven. Ah, Gilo saying that iPhone has more U.S. market share. Adam didn't admit though that he was not doing super in depth research, just did a quick, quick Google search. Behind Bregman is Brett Beatty. Refractor autograph for the Mets. It's going to be from Mark. Actually, David, you're right. Yeah, that should be that. I should have been, well, all cars should have. You'll get it. Take care of those Otanis and those Akunya juniors because TOPS is bringing back that, what should we call it, that MVP buyback program. Do you remember that?  And I think you get like some sort of, I think we give you some sort of credit in return. I think we saw a few Otanis in here, but, but yeah, I think on a certain day next year, it'll be a day where a week or so where you can bring in your base and you can get some nice credit from your local hobby shop. And that goes back to TOPS and then they do something with it. I don't know, they must have something special planned. Yeah, Otani base going for like a hundred bucks, even now? I think by the time that promo happened, it might not be that high, but, but yeah, Otani seems like a lot. Oh, 10 bucks. Sorry, I read 100 bucks. Still, I think the credit was more than that. Is Evan around? Yeah, we were looking at who the favorites were for those awards yesterday. And yeah, Otani was a super heavy favorite. No one was really even close. And then here's Otani right here. And Akunya Jr. on the NL side was also not as, not as, not as heavy a favorite as Otani, but he was a favorite. Usually a lot of times they're not as, not that heavy a favorite, even at these stages of the season, they're all usually at underdog prices. You got Bo Nailer, 19 out of 2.99. This for you, Ryan with the Guardians. We got a George Springer photo negative for the Blue Jays, Dominic with the Bluebirds, and nice Christian Yellow to Relic. These generally fall one per case, one every other case, something like that. And that will be for Brian Kay and the Brew Crew. There's Mike Trout, and the second half of the final box. Good luck, my friends. We've got another case in the store. We can run it back at some point tonight. And Sean Bouchard, 15 out of 199. Aqua Shimmer is our final autograph of the Reagan, unless there's a bonus one in there. That'll be for the Rockies Tim Lehi. Or no, we should have one more. Sorry, there was two autographs and that one was just the Relic. So we still have a third and final autograph out of this box. Who could it be? Now, Francisco Alvarez, rookie refractor for the Metz. We've got Riley Green, Green. 599 Greenway for Detroit. That'll be for David O. Got a Gunnar Henderson rookie refractor. And behind Riley Green is a Caleb Killian autograph. Chicago Cubs, rookie auto for Stephen Carney. The Gunnar Henderson refractor will go to Aaron and the O's. Let's see if there's any other parallels to close things out. I've got a Gunnar Henderson insert, Mackenzie Gore, and a DJ LeMayhew refractor. There you go, boys and girls. Hey, Evan. When we did that MVP buyback thing, what was the credit? It was $20 for a base, $40 for a refractor, $100 for a number to over $100, and then $200 for anything $99. Store credit. Yes. Participating locations only. So whoever has the angels in this break, which will be Kenny, and whoever has the braves, Matt, you know, you're more likely to hold onto that base and see if you have a participating store location that'll do that for you or, I guess, maybe put it on a secondary market, I'm sure there'll be someone who has a participating store. That's a short print right here. It's a participating store that'll be happy to buy. Here's the recap.   Nice break, ladies and gentlemen. More in the store at jaskyscasebreaks.com. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.


Hi everyone, Joe for jashbyscasebreaks.com coming out to a 2022 Panini Donriss optic football six box half case pick your team number three All card ship a lot of fun stuff in here and a wax party invite at the end Big thanks everybody Right here for getting out of the action We're talking a little AI before we started the break. There's Joe Andreessen with the Broncos last spot mojo star next to his name if you have Optic nation that means you won that team in that optic pack, you know If if technology listen think about how fast AI technology expanded in the last five years It grew very quickly and exponentially. So imagine where we'll be at in another five years. So And think about how many how many hours? Someone calculate that how many hours of breaking do you think? I've done in the nine years. I've been doing this There's hours and hours of data, you know, they could probably take all the stuff that I've said Generate an AI version of me put it in some sort of robot form and I Just raking the money I don't have to do a thing One two three for the left side four five six for the right side. I Got six right side Be awesome There's enough things that I've said over the years. We can just Aggregate all that information Be amazed In the cloud data storage is another another thing you should invest in Logan data storage Cloud storage data storage and clean energy. We got a we got a power all these servers and storage areas as well Rex is going through some cards are Jared Vanderbilt rookies worth holding Probably not he's a nice player But I'm not sure I Think whatever his price is now is probably what it's gonna. What it's gonna be Yeah, that's that's that's where it's that's where it's gonna be especially as technology expands. We're gonna need More efficient ways to power it and we got to find ways to store it. So if you're looking for future Investments in fact some some Bitcoin bulls have have argued that hey We're we are pushing advancements in different kinds of energy, you know, so Production of energy might be more efficient could be more efficient power storage another thing to once you generate a lot of Electricity from a wind a windmill, right a wind farm. Where do you store it? Battery storage also another thing got to think about power storage There was a cool thing I saw that had to do with dumping water into a thing where Where when you save energy it pours water into this whole big spig tube And then when you need energy released then you release the water and it fires through a turbine and generates the electricity Forget what that's called, but It's really cool stuff Sam d'Arnold to $2.99. That's for Carolina. That's for Brian T And there's Evan Neil to $99 for the Giants Now we're gonna need a lot of power and data storage to create an AI Joe Jaspie It's Chris Godwin to $1.79 There's Odafe Owe to $1.99 Now the only problem is What happens when When this AI realizes it wants money of its own to buy things For itself and it realizes that I've just been taking all of its money. There's Joe Burrow Blazers Insert, I don't know if this is a This is a short print or not, but I feel like it's the first time I'm seeing this insert That's pretty cool. Sean Maddock in the Bengals Eric Dickerson to $2.99 And Aidan Hutchinson gridiron King's autograph nice That's game record here going to Ben and the Lions Won that in the filler sounds like the script of bison teniel man. Never seen it Never seen it, but maybe it's a movie ahead of its time Of course, there could be terminator scenarios for a I guess I guess I was listening to this thing on NPR I think the short-term risk of AI is It's gonna be harder and hard see it's hard now But it's gonna be more hard to figure out what's real and what's not real on The interwebs There's Kenny pick it right here for the Steelers. It's gonna go to Brian T The that that's this that's the short-term concerns for for AI if anybody is in between jobs and wants wants to make a lucrative wants to work on making a lot of money you could be a A debunker. I don't know how that would work, but you could probably be a debunker of stuff Be like I don't do what snopes is doing. I guess And if you can if you can win on that That could be huge a medium term is obviously potential job loss AI job loss Most I feel like most most AI experts Well, I'm not know. I'm sorry. There's something to do. It's it's who knows what's gonna happen, but I Think the interview that I was listening to Was with the guy that worked for that you recently quit Google over his fears of AI his main fear was not necessarily like not necessarily job loss per se and he is concerned about that or You know or just people being fooled by stuff, you know People don't do their research or just take everything at face value on the internet is gonna That's always gonna happen, but his main fear was How it's going to Be used against yeah Rex. How can yeah, how do you see it? How do you how can you see it turning against each other? I agree Simon invest in water too. Yeah movie I robot Why did why where there's so many robots built? Well, what why were there so many robots built in that movie in that movie's world? There's Clyde Edwards you layer to 299 There's Jalen Naylor to 99 Vikings We'll we program. What's to say someone gets ahold of our AI reprogrammed and do harm right It's max Crosby to 179 but is our smart speaker actually gonna hurt us is that oh? Nice Desmond this doesn't hurt This is this is good Desmond Ritter rated rookie red For Scott and the Falcons got randomized the Falcons in the filler that's to 75 It's Jordan poyer to 125 Because I was thinking the same thing when I was listening to the interview I was like yeah in my head somehow there's a terminator scenario that happens, right, but like what's actually gonna harm us Is our smart speaker gonna tell us to put like acid in our pasta like we're not gonna listen to that Hopefully there'll be some common sense You know are we building actual robots our Roomba is not gonna kill us You know the the customer service AI is not gonna kill us. What's what would kill us and? So this guy this this former Google exec who is heading the AI department Ultimately it was like being like well Think about it AI is gonna be Probably militarized and then when you build When you build soldiers that our machines rather than flesh and blood Brock Purdy going to bill. This is this guy's theory because The defense to our our defense department has had had recruited a bunch of corporations to including Google to to develop AI for them and So we're talking about like drone technology on steroids And sure on one hand you're thinking yeah, well, that's less human lives, right, which is great you know as As an American and as a Military superpower we're probably thinking great it'd be awesome not sending Americans to die But that wasn't the fear the fear was The fear was If you have other countries that could gain access to technology the barrier of entry for them to invade another country is a lot lower So that's where that's that's where the fear that's where the fear is This is way down the line 50 years 100 years maybe but But that could be the one that that that gets us Well, yeah, well for power grids and stuff like that I Feel like unless And it's good to be thinking about the stuff now there better be checks and balances against that like not one thing should be controlling Infrastructure for example if AI is being used divert power during high usage times and make it super efficient That's being automated with the use of AI. We better be checks and balances Hopefully a human Human being and also inherently AI created things are Until they become sentient I guess They're essentially psychopaths They have no feelings there they have like we have one operation we need to do we're gonna do it and especially from You know from military operations and perspectives like that if You know without exacting parameters Right, there's a chance that that they might do whatever it takes to complete the task, you know So it's almost like You have to have like never have like lawyers making sure you every clause and every possibility taken care of Yeah, that I heard Logan that's pretty scary There there is like some AI technology that's able to copy voices and calling families and saying they're they're kidnapped Please send money There's some real stories about that Redemption Devonte Adams for the Raiders. I think I did hear something like that Rex in this very In this very NPR, I think story that I was listening to where there was a certain AI robot that apparently gained enough sentience where it was like He's tasks and I'm doing a pointless and shut itself down essentially killed itself Michael Thomas 65 But like the short-term thing for you and I over the next five years is probably just being aware of Not Just I mean I I know too many people who just see one video or one picture one headline and they're like They're like, oh my god Did you see what happened? Did you see what? such-and-such Politicians said or what such-and-such celebrity said and like the idea of like deep fakes can be You know this is gonna be very real and And so So that's that's the that's the near-term concern in the next like now even From now for the next handful of years Brock Purdy This is real folks. This is not AI generated. This is a rated rookie autographs read Brock Purdy Doesn't expire until November 30th of 2024 Not AI generated today is Thursday, June 1st, 2023 1013 p.m LA time Los Angeles time Joe Jaspy pulling Brock Purdy for bill Got the Niners straight up in optic football half case pick your team number three from Jaspy's case breaks calm Sova no Not until we fill the second half of this case Simon yes, I think if you AI generated If you AI generated a group breaker today if I pull this Brock Purdy autograph I'm supposed to rip my shirt off and and start slamming my biceps and screaming at the top of my lungs That's how you know. I'm not AI generated Simon I'm not an AI generated Breaker good if you want me I could AI generate a That's how you break with this thing. I think that's Provide a we provide a nice chill alternative to some of the other guys Simon. I think people appreciate that. I could though. Oh My god, Brock Purdy Jason Jaspy Brock Purdy Brock Purdy. I mean I could do it pop on some rubber gloves Don't do anything Put that Brock Purdy redemption in a one-touch Maybe offer to buy it from the guy bro, bro, bro, bro. I'll give you I'll give you a thousand bucks right now Right now. I've probably seen people make more mistakes While wearing gloves and I have the people who don't It's mishandling of cars for Be courts says I'm pretty good at that. I don't know. I've seen the competition Yeah, that's the other thing Simon. This is security issues for there is Evan Ingram I don't know why I've slipped around with areas Evan Ingram. It's Gabriel Davis to one to 79, you know, that's why I actually Don't collect First of all, I enjoy just ripping this stuff open so I get my fix that way But it's like the breakers are also serious collectors You know, I I can imagine that the temptation to do something not kosher maybe May creep into one's mind Especially if one is young and dumb enough There's Daryl and James It's Jim Kelly as well. It's Michael Parsons to $2.99 for dollars T Higgins to 99 There's Michael Carter to 50. I don't know. Maybe an AI generated Joe Chiaspee If the AI takes Takes information from all other breakers, maybe an AI Joe Chiaspee would be will be just over the top and obnoxious It's possible There's Drew Brees to one 79 Maybe we'll wait until that AI technology gets a little bit more advanced. I guess I'm not retiring anytime soon Sanders to 125 I think there's like a Chat GP T barred type thing Now I forget what I forget what it is what that the program actually is but where you can just now Give the AI generator a series of prompts to create an image for you Which I think is pretty scary although we're not I mean, I guess me as a public figure Would have to wear it. I might have to wear it. So I'm gonna be like Joe Chiaspee You know riding on a train riding on a steam train with a conductor's hat in overalls You know, and then that image will look here Man, it might look very convinced Imagine the future if everyone has personal AI in their home The way everyone has a lex. Does everyone have an alexa in their home? What is the percentage of alexa owning households in the United States? This can't be right In 2020, this is an old article in 2020 amazon determined that 25 of us households have at least one alexa device That's got to be more now you think right? Anyway, then it becomes any and just start spending your money through all of your apps You would think there'd be a way to stop that right your bank would be like Hey, did you make this transaction? And you'd be like no and they'd be like, okay I'm not worried about that It's Carson strong Jalen Naylor at 299 And diamond AJ diamond hands AJ Brown He should have probably had his hands in that sort of a diamond shape Which is often a good way to to catch a football I feel like I haven't seen this insert a lot either I don't know how short printed this is but this is going to go to Benjamin and the Eagles Joe makes him to 125 Speaking of spending money. I was looking at getting A topler binder for some of my cars anyone have one if you do are they worth it? That sounds kind of cool It's like a traditional binder, but the pages are actually top loaders All right, so it'd be like top loader top loader top and you just put them into sleeves like that Am I hearing am I reading that right? I don't think we have anything like that in our store. I should check It's Vaughan Miller to 199 And we've got Khalil Shakir Buffalo The Buffalo bills Khalil Shakir Brian T with the bills got some cracked ice It's out of 15 nice low number Let's hope he becomes a pro bowler this year Nice that went through Rex See we just we just used the the stock symbol for all those major companies and you'll be able to Say whatever you wanted to check There's Nick Bolton to 299 Mike Evans lime green to 35 Darren Waller to 99 Red hot rookies sauce gardener The rookies can you pick it for the stealers?

It's a new year, new me, and I'm ready to see what books I'm gonna be reading to start off this year. I just realized I haven't properly said happy 2022 to you, so happy 2022. I hope it's going on right for you so far and welcome to the January edition of Tiamya. Say it like that, I just get so excited. The light is going in and out, in and out today, so apologies for any light changes that we have, but hello. So if you don't know, TBR Cluedo is my TBR game that I play every single month, themed off of Super Cluedo. Nothing has changed, it's staying the same, all the rules are the same. So I'll leave the link down below to the playlist where you can watch the first episode, that has all the different rules in it if you don't know anything about it yet. Let's just get straight into it. So December's TBR was, oh my, whoa. Throwing them in the air. I just thought throwing them, they'd come back in the same order. Anyway, it was these five books plus the audio book for the novella Christmas at the Grange. I have read these four and Christmas at the Grange. Midnight Everwood was our book club pick for December over on my Patreon. We had to push the live show back to this weekend to give those in the US a bit more time to get their hands on it because it was a little bit hard for them to get their hands on it. So I've started it, I'm about 50 pages in, so no punishments, but by the time this goes up anyway I will have finished it because our live show for the book club is happening right after this premiere. So also if you can hear loads of banging around my house today, we've got loads of work going on. This is my only time to film. So we have no choice. Anyway, I think that is all of our housekeeping for this month. So let's just get into the first roll of TBR Q&A for the new year. Oh my God, how exciting. Okay, time for roll one. Person number two, which is purples are a mystery. And how many are we gonna roll? Whoa, a five or a one? Okay, one, two, three, four, five. Okay, which is number 16, which is a mystery with four or more words in the title. Okay, so roll one was a mystery with four or more words in the title. And for this I have chosen to read As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson. I wanted this to be my first book I read this year anyway. So we're lucky that it fits into the TBR. But I basically haven't read anything the first half of this year. I haven't finished a book yet. And I've got to finish Midnight in Everwood because it is our book club pick. So I've read the first like 60 pages of this, but that's all I've read. Like I'm not like into working like that. Like I can do like show some media every now and then but like I don't wanna like go nine to five job. I'll come back to it in the next week or so. But this is basically the final installment to one of my favorite mystery series ever, A Good Girls Guide to Murder. If you watched my recent best books of 2021 video, you'll know it was on there. I'm scared for this one because people have said it goes down a very different route than the first two books. We're following Pip who's kind of this like teenage detective in her local town.  In book one, I was like, oh my God, I can so relate to Pip. And now I'm like, girl, you've gone down a different route in life than I did. Like I can't really relate to where you're at at this point in your life. So she's been through a lot in the kind of various cases she's tried to uncover. She's seen a lot of horrible things. And in this one, I believe she has a stalker and the kind of mystery is trying to figure out who her stalker is. So I'm very excited to read it. Very excited to finish off one of my favorite series. I'm hoping it's still gonna be like a 4.5 star like the other two books were for me, but I'm nervous because everyone has said it goes down a complete different route. So I don't know what to expect, but we're gonna hope for good things. Okay, time for roll number two. Person number one, which is green. A five and a five. Okay, let's just use, I could, because I've already doubled, I could move and then roll again. But I think I'm just gonna pick something in this room. So let's see, let's just go one, two, three, four, five. That was easy. That is number 13, which is a TBR veteran. Okay, so roll two was a fantasy that is a TBR veteran and for this, can you guess what I picked? I'm finally gonna read King of Crows by Libba Brace. You've got to be shitting me. So I have promised to read this many times. It was in a TBR for TBR creator a couple months ago. There's been many reading blogs where I say at the start, I'm gonna read this book and then I don't. I'm just scared, okay? I'm just... This is the final book in the Divinus series and I really liked the Divinus, gave it four stars, loved Lair of Dreams, a five star, before the day of breakthrough 2.5 and then everyone doesn't really like this and says it's worse than before the day of breakthroughs. So like, what am I gonna do? So we're in New York in the 1920s and we're following this kind of scooby gang of friends who have these magical powers. Listen, I'm just hoping for good things. I don't think, from what I've heard, people's stories, like individual character stories don't get wrapped up in the best way. It's big, like it's a big book. Like it's very long, small, fun. Like it's a lot of reading, but I do wanna finish this series off and I really like Libra Bray. Libra Bray's books have this kind of like drama to them that I really like. As someone who did a drama all my life up until the age of 18, I did it for A level. I've done it ever since I was a kid. I love like theatrics in books. I love stuff that's a bit over the top and like I really feel like the Divinus is that and kind of looks at it in a kind of theatric point of view and Libra Bray used to be in like theatre, I believe. I think I was listening to a podcast she did and I think she spoke about that being what she did at uni and you can definitely feel it. So I really like Libra Bray's writing. I'm hoping for great things, but I'm really nervous. Okay, role number three. Person number three, which is red up here in historical. Ooh, a one out of four. One, two, three, four, five. Which is number 21 and that is a title with two words. Something about the books that are talking about how many words a book has in the title I seem to be attracted to in this game and I'm not sure why. So role three was a historical fiction with two words in the title. And for this one I decided this would be the choice that my patrons voted on for our book clubs. If you don't know I have something called the Cat Tales Book Club with my patrons. When we read a book together in a month we have a discussion live show for it. I do an exclusive reading vlog for that book and they get to vote on one round of TBR Cludo every month to pick what that book is. So the choices that I gave them for this were Lovely War by Julie Berry, Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead and The Perishing by Natasha Dionne. Now these two were definitely the front runners but one of these won by quite a lot and it was Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Now I don't know how I feel about the fact we are gonna be reading an ultra summery book in winter.  We picked Midnight Everwood last month because it was like a wintery like in the mood book and then this is like height of summer. So maybe we're all just craving summer and we're gonna live through it by kerosene for this. But I am super excited to finally be reading this. It was such an anticipate release to me. I absolutely loved both the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones and the Six. I'm hoping to reread both of them quite soon actually. So I'm really excited to read this with my patrons. The link is always down below if you wanna come join us for the book club. It's so much fun. Our live show discussions are always like one of my highlights of the patron. I love them so, so much. And I'm gonna hopefully experiment with the patron soon of like getting some of you guys onto the live shows. I think I'll be really fun in the book club and stuff. So this is what we're gonna be reading. I'll be doing a reading vlog over there for it. So you won't see it in a reading vlog on the channel. All I know about this is that we're following Mick Reaver's children and it's like set during 24 hours I think at this party that they're throwing in August 1983. And we're kind of following all the different siblings and what they have going on. Very intrigued. It hasn't been as highly rated and like loved as her other two most popular books. But I'm still really excited to read it. Roll number four. Person number seven, which is Brown over here. And five and a five. Okay, I've got to think about how I do this. I haven't really got anything like magical realism that I really want to read this month. So I think I'm going to maybe try and get into horror. I've got a horror quite like to read this month. So because I rolled a double, I can move that and roll again. So we're gonna go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. And then roll again, got a one and a five. We can get in there. One, two, three, four, five. That is number nine, which is a book with under 6,000 ratings on Goodreads. Roll four was a horror that has under 6,000 ratings on Goodreads. So they're kind of like an underhyped, less red book is the kind of idea of this prompt. And I have chosen The Nesting by CJ Cook. I don't really know much about this. I'm reading it for a secret TBR that's coming out this month. So I bought it for that and I don't really know anything about it. All I know is that it's a horror and it had under 6,000 ratings on Goodreads. So it worked for me. It worked for the prompt. I'm not getting involved.  I just want to be me. A house stands alone in the woods, deep in the forests of Norway, Lexi finds a fresh start with Tom and his two daughters working as their new nanny. The darkness creeps closer, but Lexi is telling lies because she's not the only one. The family has a history and this place has a past. Ooh, okay, sounds interesting. Yeah, I didn't know too much about it, but I'm very excited to read it all the same for the vlog that'll be coming out this month. Role number five, person number eight, which is blue down in contemporary. I would quite like to get the rose prompt this month for my patrons. So let's see if we can get to that. Okay, we've got a five and a five. I think we can maybe get to it with 10. Let's see how we do this. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. There we go. So that is the rose prompt, which means my patrons will pick what I read. Role five was the rose prompt. I haven't had this for the past couple months, but I always really want to try and pick it because I really want to pick what my patrons have told me to read. So if you don't know, everyone who joins my Patreon gets to pick two books off of my TBR. I send them like my Goodreads TBR, that I have everything listed on there that I own, and they can pick two books off of it that they want me to read. And it goes into this jar. There will be a lot of casualties. We're gonna have a lot of casualties. Then yes, there will be some casualties. Yes, there will. Okay. Picking something out of here because it is packed tight. Oh, we already had one. I need to transfer it to something else other than this, because we're overflowing. We've got too many, but I'm just gonna pick one of these and whatever it is, I have to read it this month. Okay, oh my God. They're just, okay, I've just got to pick one. Okay. Oh, what is that? Oh, Monday's Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson. Okay, so only one patron has picked this. Both times I've done the rose prompt, I've gotten a book that only one patron has picked. I've always expected it to be like, there's some books in here that like 10, 15 people have picked. And I always expected it to be one of them. There's only one, and it was Memo. So Memo picked Monday's Not Coming by Tiffany D. Jackson. I have the audio book of this, so that's how I'm gonna be reading it. I can't remember much about it. I think it's about this girl whose best friend goes missing, and it's her trying to find her. Tiffany D. Jackson is definitely an author I wanna make my way through her back this. I did read White Smoke this year, last year, oh my God. Happy New Year! And I didn't love it. I didn't love it, but I felt like I could still love her other stuff. So I really wanna read Grown and Monday's Not Coming this year, and I'm gonna be reading Monday's Not Coming this month, which is super exciting. Okay, time for our last roll. And then final roll, person number six, which is Yellow over here in Thriller. And let's see how many we roll. You've got one and a three. Okay, let's just go one, two, three. That is number one, which is a new to me author. So our last roll was a Thriller with a new to me author. So an author I have never read before. And I have chosen Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeney. So I've never read anything by Alice Feeney. I feel like she's quite a popular Thriller author, but I've never read anything by her. I know this is about a couple who have had some marriage issues and they're going on this trip to this really isolated, snowy place together and shit starts occurring. Now I love isolation. Isolation needs to be like a character in a book for me. Like I love it that much. We need this. This is essential. This is a crisis. Isolation as a trope just gets me going. I don't know why, but I love it. So I'm so excited to read this. It's been like one of my most anticipated thrillers to get to. It's not very long. It's under 300 pages as well, which gets me excited. So I'm really excited to pick this up. This is for another vlog as well that's coming out this month. And yeah, I'm super excited for you to watch me read this. And hopefully I feel like I'm gonna have fun reaction to this book. I just have a good feeling. So that is our TBR for this month of January, plus Monday's not coming on the audiobook. I'm super happy with what I've picked. We've got some series that we're finishing. We've got some really hyped books we're gonna be reading. So I have a good feeling. Let me know down below what is on your January TBR. I'd love to know what books you're almost hoping to get to this month. Thank you so much for watching as always. I have so many fun plans for the channel coming out this year. And I just love you guys so much. Thank you for all your support. And I'll see you soon in another video. Bye.
