Downloaded & spent some time playing ROBLOX

Joined a ‘world’ called Brookhaven. Went to grocery store, then the bank. A girl came in and started shouting with a rifle, then bank alarm went off, lol ImageImage
Interesting, but I wasn’t sure what I was meant to do? Do you just walk around and try chat to other characters?

Likely not aimed at me. Suppose I need to experiment more.

But it didn’t ‘catch me’ in my first sitting

Tagging @Matt_Cochrane7 , @MadsC007 Image
Typo - Not shouting - I meant shooting
Thanks @JonahLupton

Trying to understand it better. They asked for my age when I signed up then recommended ‘worlds’ I could join

It’s fluid and easy to control movement.

Maybe this is the new social fabric for the young?
By the way @iramneek

when I went to the bank in the game...

for a second I thought it said Berkshire

Lol😂😂
Junior woke up so I decided to make him a ‘real little Roblox house’

Used tape and cardboard. Am quite proud of how it turned out.

With roof, a door and windows.
In the front it has gardens and a small pool !

Now he says he wants a car!😂 Image
Oh my word, not even half an hour later....

And the house has been demolished.

When I asked him what happened, he says ‘house very weak , wind blew it away’

Noooooooo. I’m gutted!

😂😁 Image
Playing some more

Went back to the Brookhaven Grocery

Found two Pomp Pizzas!
😀😀

@APompliano

PS - haven’t found the BTC dealer yet... Image
PS - in the grocery store I also saw Reese’s chocolates on display

I wonder if they paid to advertise their product in the game?

Need to check Roblox financials to see if they disclose such revenue streams.

Using AI for good

$NOW to acquire Element AI for an undisclosed sum. Article estimates $500m (~0.5% of ServiceNow’s $100b mkt cap)

Sounds good. Adding AI into $NOW ‘s workflows to assist enterprises to work better.

I have a lot of respect for the $NOW CEO, @BillRMcDermott Image
Element AI is a Canadian company founded and run by AI experts. The top skills are staying on at $NOW

They help enterprises to *use* AI to their advantage. NB for the future.

Just read the bios of the two top gents below. There are several more... ImageImage
Element AI has previously raised cash from some of the worlds biggest AI companies.

Read excerpt below from the TechCrunch article.

Microsoft, Intel, Nvidia & Tencent

They also have McKinsey as a shareholder Image

My thoughts on $TWLO 's Segment acq after listening to the conf call:

- Makes sense
- Solving something important - single view of customer
- Buying a leader in a related high growth space
- Raises TAM from $62-79B (27%)
- Accretive to $TWLO - paying lower mult

The CEOs of $TWLO (@jeffiel) & Segment (@reinpk) seem very good together.

Similar developer focus & vision

Could hear the excitement as they answered the conf call qs

All share deal makes sense to me

They're both young & talented so can do GREAT things from here Image

They're solving something very important - to get a single view of the customer.

This helps co's to do more personalised and targeted engagement with their customers.

In an increasing digital world, relevant customer engagement is critical.
