I just wondered if you could shed some light on, on what's going on there, please.
18:12
please.I think this is fascinating, the, the cost of tokens discussion.
18:16
Um, so they went down for, you know, the last five, six years, they've just been going down.
18:20
In fact, they've gone down like ninety-nine-point something percent, and then they went up in May and June.
18:25
Uh, but there's a couple of little misleading things in there.
18:26
One is it's only the frontier models where the pricing's gone up, not the average lower-end models.
18:32
So it's, it's kind of Anthropic and OpenAI.

6 MINS LATER

24:52
Yeah.
15:33
How did you get started into cams, and what, like, kinda what brought that on?
15:38
That was, uh, from a fly-in hunt.
15:41
Um, Dad and I flew into an area sheep hunting and found a little mineral deposit.
15:48
Uh, it wasn't very big, you know, like a little 20-foot squared section where you, you could see animals had been digging up the ground, um, against kind of a rock wall cliff, and the, it, it was water seeping out of this cliff.
16:02
And it, by the, all the droppings, you could tell that animals were in there kinda licking this cliff, and it's, it kinda goes underneath a cliff wall.
16:11
Kinda like, almost like a cave, right? So the next year, uh, we flew in there again, and I took a game camera and an external battery box, one of those little six-volt or 12-volt batteries, and hooked it up.
16:25
And then the third year, uh, it was actually a guy I was working for, [clears throat] excuse me, Ed was flying in there.

1 HR 3 MINS LATER

79:55
Yeah.
87:04
Oh
87:04
... for sure, though.
87:04
It's amazing.
87:05
Like even in September you, you got six inches of hair, seven inches of hair on top of the back.
87:11
And, uh, especially like we were talking about, uh, you were talking about bedded goats last night.
87:16
Um, I think that's even more pronounced on a bedded goat, you know.
87:20
When that hair, when it, uh, stands up, it, it's easy to mistake.
88:19
Yeah.
