There's a whole subculture around print and play, but that's paper. 710 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,540 There, to my knowledge, is not much of a 3D print and play games. That's sweet. 711 00:31:44,060 --> 00:31:49,640 Well, and if you like, I feel like Kickstarter has evolved to where it's, there's a ton of games. 712 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:59,380 It's like a huge segment of Kickstarter backers, or it's games, whether it's RPG or whatever, but 713 00:31:59,380 --> 00:32:06,260 If you reach scale with your kiosk distribution, that could be a backer reward at a lower value. 714 00:32:07,740 --> 00:32:13,360 Instead of us shipping you the game, you go and print it out at your local game shop, 715 00:32:13,460 --> 00:32:19,560 like find one near you. So it could be a way to enable games to be launched and tested 716 00:32:20,420 --> 00:32:24,980 after they're successfully funded on Kickstarter without them having to go through the arduous 717 00:32:24,980 --> 00:32:30,620 manufacturing process which is where a lot of those campaigns fail. So true. 718 00:32:31,260 --> 00:32:34,540 Like I bet people would pay a little extra if it meant that they could get it 719 00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:39,520 sooner and it's like that limited release or like out of a card shop or 720 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:45,760 like a board game shop. Dude in the 90s when I was a kid my aunt took me to the 721 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:54,960 the mall once and it had like a CNC marker machine that you could pick a 722 00:32:54,960 --> 00:33:00,880 And it would grab the markers and like CNC draw the greeting card right in front of you. 723 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,920 Like in this machine in the mall. 724 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,420 And I just, that's like stuck with me since I was like in elementary school as like an 725 00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:11,580 awesome thing to see it produced right before your eyes. 726 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,540 You can have it type a sentimental greeting. 727 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,220 I've loved you since insert date here. 728 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,580 It make it look like you hand wrote it. 729 00:33:20,340 --> 00:33:20,520 Yeah. 730 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:27,080 I mean, I'm I think like watching your the game that you're taking home to your family to play or with your buddies or whatever 731 00:33:27,220 --> 00:33:30,660 Watching it built right in front of your eyes. It's just like a memorable experience 732 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:42,260 They have it was cotton candy now - there's like a cotton candy kiosk in the mall that makes like crazy-looking cotton candy 733 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,380 Whoa, I've seen that. Yeah 734 00:33:45,820 --> 00:33:48,880 It'd be like that dude malls would be a great place to start with this 735 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:56,340 Yeah, yeah, what's left of them instead of having a whole game store like there's a game store in our local mall. Yes 736 00:33:56,900 --> 00:34:01,880 30 to 50 percent of the storefronts are empty but instead of a whole game store 737 00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:07,060 It's just a game vending machine with a 3d printer and you're just cranking out games 738 00:34:07,380 --> 00:34:10,399 Put it at the front of the grocery store put it at the bank. Put it at the 739 00:34:11,179 --> 00:34:15,260 Post office put them everywhere. Yes, they're constrained enough 740 00:34:15,260 --> 00:34:20,560 You don't really put them like wherever there's a red box shadow that used to be a red box 741 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,780 The empty area where those were in front of your CVS, but this 742 00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:31,560 Filled with our little optometry stations. Yeah. Ah, yes. That's like in your business plan is is 743 00:34:31,980 --> 00:34:34,100 benchmarking where red boxes were 744 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:41,580 And buying the remaining red boxes as our shell that we're gonna hollow out. There you go retrofitting 745 00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:45,520 There you go, like how they retrofit arcades now and yep 746 00:34:50,780 --> 00:34:53,300 All right, Nick, what do you have for us this week? 747 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,060 All right, so I work from home got two dogs 748 00:34:58,700 --> 00:35:04,440 They're always running around when I'm when I'm here all day by myself. They're they're my co-workers, right? 749 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:05,900 so 750 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:11,680 now 751 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:19,640 drop the AI word in here, but I'm shocked that no one has done this, but it's a dog 752 00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:25,620 collar that uses AI and a voice chat agent.

Now 755 00:35:41,660 --> 00:35:47,360 exists to do this in a very simple way. Right? You just load a LLM onto it or 756 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,960 whatever like a local, it runs locally. You got a little bit of hardware, it clips 757 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,780 right onto their existing collar and boom you have a dog that you can just 758 00:35:55,820 --> 00:35:59,920 have full-on conversations with. You're not rubber ducking anymore, you're just 759 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,720 talking to your dog. Yes. You have a problem to think through.

So are these, are these thoughts and responses that the dog is quote unquote having? 762 00:36:16,140 --> 00:36:20,580 Are they based off of the dog's behavior or any metrics or signals? 763 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:26,980 Yeah, so like, okay. I was brainstorming this with my wife a little bit like a year ago when we first came up with it was 764 00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:34,100 you could use an accelerometer to easily tell that the dog is wagging their tail. Like even at the neck level, like their whole body's moving. 765 00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:38,740 So you could tell if they're getting excited or if they're bored. If they haven't moved in a while, 766 00:36:38,740 --> 00:36:41,460 they can say, "Hey, you know, you want to go for a walk?" 767 00:36:42,860 --> 00:36:46,980 So I think your MVP, it can just be conversational. 768 00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:47,820 Yeah. 769 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,200 Over time, you can evolve it or maybe you upgrade it with software. 770 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,760 A subscription has an upgrade where it's actually taking biofeedback from the dog. 771 00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:56,900 Just a heart rate. 772 00:36:56,910 --> 00:37:00,740 I can tell when the head cocks to the side because I'm listening really intently. 773 00:37:01,260 --> 00:37:01,600 Wow. 774 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,960 It could get more and more accurate. 775 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:05,400 Yeah, it gets smarter. 776 00:37:05,570 --> 00:37:06,900 You got to train its collar too. 777 00:37:06,980 --> 00:37:07,460 It evolves. 778 00:37:07,860 --> 00:37:08,000 Yeah. 779 00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:15,820 Like in Interstellar, how he can set the, you know, the humor level, the honesty level of the robots. 780 00:37:16,380 --> 00:37:20,120 You could play with the settings a little bit until it's exactly where you want it. 781 00:37:20,380 --> 00:37:24,240 Completely erase that dog's memory and voice if you don't like that anymore. 782 00:37:24,420 --> 00:37:27,240 You just get a new dog, like by just replacing the whole model. 783 00:37:27,490 --> 00:37:28,980 You put that voice to sleep. 784 00:37:30,140 --> 00:37:32,200 I am not in the mood for your crap today. 785 00:37:32,220 --> 00:37:33,460 And that voice to the farm. 786 00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:38,800 The cool part about this is the accessory could be aware of what you're working on. 787 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:43,100 So you could be like, "I'm really confused by line 136 of this Python thing." 788 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,500 Well, actually, you're not supposed to use a while true. 789 00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:45,520 [laughter] 790 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,420 >> Or your dog's just asleep in the corner guiding you through it. 791 00:37:48,420 --> 00:37:54,099 >> Right.
