Datarock, the beginning

Every company starts somewhere, this is Datarock's origin story
00:00 - 00:05 | So I was manually logging RQD for the customer |
00:05 - 00:07 | It was taking a while |
00:07 - 00:10 | So the customer asked |
00:11 - 00:16 | Can you do this quicker? |
00:17 - 00:21 | I said yes, with AI |
00:21 - 00:24 | I don't even know what AI is |
00:29 - 00:31 | I had to google it |
00:31 - 00:34 | Brenton had no idea either |
00:38 - 00:40 | We were stuffed |
00:41 - 00:47 | We started hiring, all the people we knew |
00:47 - 00:50 | No one had any idea |
00:50 - 00:56 | But they were offering so much money |
00:58 - 00:59 | Start with consulting |
00:59 - 01:01 | Surely one of them will know |
01:04 - 01:06 | All theoretical |
01:06 - 01:08 | No practical |
01:13 - 01:14 | We need engineers |
01:14 - 01:16 | Alright let's start a company |
01:16 - 01:20 | They will figure it out |
01:21 - 01:27 | I barely know RQD |
01:35 - 01:36 | Let alone learning about AI |
01:36 - 01:39 | I'll do what I do best |
01:41 - 01:44 | Outsource it |
01:44 - 01:47 | Hire people |
01:47 - 01:49 | Put AI on the job titles |
01:50 - 01:53 | They'll figure it out |
01:54 - 01:56 | And I'll be the boss |
01:56 - 01:58 | I'll still live in Tasmania |
01:58 - 02:02 | No one comes here |
02:05 - 02:07 | They won't even check |
02:10 - 02:11 | That I don't know anything |
02:11 - 02:13 | It's perfect |
02:15 - 02:17 | I'll hire mainlanders |
02:17 - 02:20 | They will do all the work |
02:21 - 02:28 | While the Tasmians will get a fake office |
02:29 - 02:30 | For meetings |
02:30 - 02:32 | They won't suspect anything |
02:36 - 02:39 | We will get lunch beers |
02:40 - 02:42 | Catch ups won't be here |
02:50 - 02:55 | They'll be on the mainland, not too far |
02:56 - 02:58 | Where |
02:58 - 03:04 | Melbourne, it's the closest |
03:04 - 03:09 | We get scared if we go too far |
03:09 - 03:11 | There was just one thing |
03:16 - 03:20 | We don't have a name |
03:23 - 03:26 | Need something fancy |
03:31 - 03:36 | So hopefully someone buys us |
