| 0:00.0 | Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schultmeister and Jason |
| 0:06.8 | DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame. |
| 0:16.4 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks. I'm Jason DeFilippo and I'm Brian Schultmeister. |
| 0:20.6 | We made the feed change Brian. How'd that go? |
| 0:23.6 | Seems to be fairly painless so far. Did we did we do better than Disney plus? |
| 0:28.4 | I think we did better than Disney plus. Yes. If anything, everybody got more content than they paid for. Oh wait, nobody. No, no, nobody paid. |
| 0:36.7 | Well, we do have some people to pay and they keep the lights on. So praise be to the people to pay. But yes, |
| 0:42.1 | seem to be fairly painless. As we go through the weeks, I will be expanding out the back catalog. So the rest will be in the full feed. |
| 0:50.4 | There's only 15 shows right now. As of this one, there will be 16 and we'll just go to keep adding to it |
| 0:57.5 | as things kind of roll out and fall off. So nobody gets 100 to 390 downloads at once. |
| 1:05.6 | One bit of note, somebody slid into our DMs. I can't remember who it was at the moment, but thank you for the update. |
| 1:11.8 | He did mention that in overcast, we've lost our stars on the older episodes. So feel free to restart them. |
| 1:18.8 | Oh, interesting. Okay. Well, I know what I'll be doing after the show. |
| 1:24.0 | Thanks for the heads up there. Don't want to lose our position. Still can't beat Rogan, but we can beat the daily or the New York Times daily podcast, which excellent. |
| 1:33.6 | Yes. So I put out a question last week about who owns the copyright to an AI generated piece of art. Well, turns out that the US patent and trademark office has that same question. |
| 1:47.6 | Right. And this came out on the verge this week after I made my question. And it's apparently been in the works for a while, but the patent and trademark office is asking for, you know, some public opinions on what the hell do we do here? |
| 2:00.2 | Because we don't really know. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, again, I think it's going to come down to whoever wrote the software owns it. Unless they do, you know, basically, |
| 2:09.3 | Blake and licenses or whatever to, you know, here's our tool. You use it. You own it. But that's going to come down to the lawyers in the businesses, of course. |
| 2:18.0 | Yeah. And the terms of service that people adopt on. Yep. So you have till December 16th. If you want to go put in your two cents on this. |
| 2:25.1 | Look how interactive we've been recently. This is the second thing that we get to go comment on. I know what about that? Oh, crazy. |
| 2:31.8 | We talked about Disney plus a second ago. Turns out they had 10 million subscribers that first week. Wow. |
| 2:38.0 | It depends on your definition of subscriber. Well, it says it's signed up 10 million users since it's Tuesday debut, which is a lot of people are on free trials, which I don't consider subscribing. |
