Just found the old list of patents out IP lawyers for Broadcast com were going to file but never got around to under Yahoo. Not saying they all would have been granted, but if you ever need prior art in this area, here you go lol. Potential broadcast.com Patent Applications January 4, 1999 1. Geographic IP Identification Technique for pin-pointing the geographic location of a static IP device by triangulating routes taken by IP packets and building a database of IP addresses and DNS names. 2. Hybrid Networks A commercial network of unicast and multicast enabled networks that terminates at a single point and which enables digital content to be distributed in a one-to-many fashion across multiple networks from a single initiation point. 3. Multi-Network Multicast A commercial network of multicast enabled networks that terminates at a single point and which enables digital content to be distributed in a one-to-many fashion across multiple networks from a single initiation point. 4. Reverse Auction Online auction mechanism in which a buyer who desires to purchase goods defines that desire, along with a maximum price that s/he will pay.  Potential sellers then respond by offering their goods at  a price below any previous bidders and at or below the designated maximum price.
 5. Audio Ad Delivery Software techniques for parsing files served by web server and acting upon text to perform functions such as audio ad rotation and synchronized audio ad/pop-up URL scripting. 6. Web Server Reporting System Software techniques for reporting on very large web server of files across multiple web servers in order to comply with industry-standard web server reporting practices. 7. Commerce Payment Gateway Integration Modular software routines for interfacing with a variety of payment getaway vendors (e.g. Mpact, Cybersource) for pay-per-view/listen and for traditional e-commerce. 8. Streaming Server Parsing And Reporting Software techniques for reporting on very large streaming server log files across hundreds of streaming servers. 9. Streaming Authentication System Custom database and related Software routines that extend RealAudio's 5.x implementation of user and player authentication. 10. Web Page Generation System Set of databases and scripts for automatically generating website sections such as CD Jukebox, Radio Stations, AudioBooks, etc. 11. Live Events Management System Custom data base and web-based system for managing daily events by collecting data on each event and "publishing" collected data to various groups as needed. 12. Automatic Content Promotion Set of scripts that run against live event databases and generate files for publishing to Yahoo!, Real Networks, and CMP. 13. Telephony-Based Content Publication System that allows people to call into a voice-mailbox and leave messages which are then automatically encoded into multimedia content and hosted on a website.

@tbpn @mcuban He's right. @mcuban gets it. If software companies are already rebuilding for agents, why wouldn't physical builders re-engineer for robots?

@missasign @adcock_brett @tbpn Have you seen a surgical robot in full humanoid form ?

@mcuban @adcock_brett @tbpn man you are super successful and smart but what you say here make no sense at all 🥹

.@mcuban says humanoid robots won't last more than 5-10 years. Instead, we'll "design the house to fit the robot, and design the robot to fit the house." "You could create a house where the pantry, the refrigerator, and the washing machines were hidden behind the garage, if you even have a garage. That way you could redesign the house so that all the living space was for people."

Doesn’t take into account that there is value to redesigning homes and other spaces so humans have more and better living space Just like warehouses were redesigned to optimize speed/storage and access. Homes, offices and other spaces can be redesigned Just because a humanoid can do the job, it doesn’t mean it’s the optimal robot for the job and space utilization Why wouldn’t you use a smaller, less expensive, easier to maintain robot that has an environment it was designed for ?

After buying broadcast dotcom for $8,000 in 1997, @mcuban went on a domain name buying spree when he realized he could use simple URLs to route traffic to the site. As a result, he says he now owns democracy dotcom, baseball dotcom, mrpresident dotcom, sandwich dotcom, finalfour dotcom, and more. "You name it, I've bought it."

.@mcuban says he's not worried about AI doom scenarios related to robotics because AI "doesn't understand the consequences of its recommendations": "Right now, LLMs are basically bimodal: it’s almost all text and pictures, with some video. You can’t model the world with that." "AI, right now, doesn't understand the consequences of its recommendations. It has no idea what happens next. A 2-year-old in a highchair and a sippy cup knows if it pushes the sippy cup off the highchair, mom's coming running, and the kid's going to start laughing at mom. LLMs don't understand [that]." "So we have to evolve to models that can capture the world and physics, and deal with the latency of not having access to video that you can't see — you have to try to model that. And not only does that take up a lot of processing power, but it takes up a lot of bandwidth." "And so the Terminators taking over, I just don’t see how it’s going to happen."

@NateWiki @adcock_brett @tbpn I think a humanoid will be the least effective for most tasks

@adcock_brett @tbpn @mcuban he thinks a humanoid is just something in the house 😭

@tbpn I sold baseball and sandwich years ago. Still have the others

@adcock_brett @tbpn Time will tell.

@tbpn @mcuban lol WHAT!!

Great explanation from Dr. Griffith on how PBMs use vertical integration to dictate the market and drive independent pharmacies out of business through discriminatory pricing. Proud to support #HB1959 which simply says you can’t own both a PBM and a pharmacy. Safeguarding free-market practices in TN. @mattmurphyshow @TruthRX @Commpharmacy

BREAKING: @mcuban will be live on TBPN today at 1p PT

Yesterday we announced a $71 Million contract with the @USNavy. We believe in something simple at Gecko, “If it isn’t ready, it doesn’t count.” This phrase caries with it an ethos that the US Navy and Gecko Robotics resonate with. To achieve the @USNavyCNO's goal of unprecedented readiness (80% of fleet), it requires unprecedented technology and action. That is what this contracts represents. A future where predicting what will fail before it does, becomes a science. Prediction leads to superior planning. Superior planning leads to victory. On Gecko’s 10 year anniversary, and the USA’s 250th anniversary, we couldn’t be more proud to build what will define the bar for decades to come: A new standard that we forge together that everyone else will measure themselves against. Onwards 🇺🇸

Everyone wants me to rip on TrumpRx. Reality is, it’s saving patients money on IVF and a few other drugs. A lot of money. IMO, anything that saves patients money is a win. And they truly do have some great people that are making smart moves. You just don’t know their names. Chris Klomp. Mark Atalla, Abe Sutton and so many more. When you talk to them, and see the work they put in, it’s obvious they are focused on trying to do the right thing for patients. Don’t forget they didn’t give the insurance industry a price increase they wanted, and those stock prices got crushed. TrumpRx is just getting started. @costplusdrugs is just getting started.

@solitaryintp Tech companies will need people who understand the latest greatest and can think

@mcuban We'll need fewer people period. The capabilities of Opus 4.6 are out of this world (read the system card). Future tech companies will be much smaller than current ones and Gen Z will bear the brunt of it simply because of timing. Only a handful of "AI native" ppl will be needed

This is wrong. It assumes that new grads don't learn new skills. I'll let you in on a secret. AI, in whatever way we use it, is going to change, continuously, for YEARS GenZ is AI native and will keep up. The non native AI generations?😀 No chance.

@uxcn53 Nothing wrong with it at all. But liberal arts has value in a world of models that need to be trained and evaluated

@mcuban I get what you’re saying but there’s been an over saturation of degree holders to the market. Nothing wrong with going into skilled trades.

@Reniec7 There is a lot more done in a company than programming

@mcuban Seriously? I started my career as a Fortran programmer. And, I no longer use any programmers in my business as with Claude I can do the job of 10. And, I'm as old as the hills. Anyone can pick this up.

@uxcn53 Agree. Someone has to help train the models on that stuff !

@mcuban Those gender studies degrees will be very helpful.

@Thing1Norb The exception that proves the rule !

@mcuban Here’s one Boomer who disagrees with you. I’m using, learning, and improving how I use AI.
