We got to pull up this video because we were talking about exactly this. The 964 Cabriolet Junior is a Porsche 964 that has been shrunk. Actually shrunk. Exactly what you said. Look at this video, Cory. Whoa. This is what you asked for. Fully customizable. And look at this. It looks normal size, but wait until this guy gets in it. This is amazing. So it is a go kart that has the bodywork of a Porsche. And so you can get one of these. They go like 60 miles an hour or something like that. Like, they're pretty fast. Yes. So I think if you put a governor on this vehicle, you'd have what you want, which is the vehicle for the kid that is fun, engaging, and highly stylized and made with precision. The group behind this is called End of Stay. S T A Y has periods after it. So I imagine it's some sort of acronym, but what a while. They did it. Yes. They did it. They did it. I'm interested. You can see the YouTube video here. The preview of the 964 Turbo Junior High Performance version. It's an absolutely crazy, crazy video that I got organically served to me. And I was like, this is what we've been looking for, for sure. This is exactly what we were talking about. I need one. I think you do need one. Anyway, GPT live a new generation.
Anyway, on the COVID of the Wall Street Journal. It's the world's creepiest office and people won't stay away. This is the New York complex vacated by IBM has become a magnet for urban explorers. We have a video of this place and if you're a scrappy startup looking to expand, this might be the key to success. The ultimate lock in factory in sort of rural New York. I think we'll get into it. So this is in Somers, New York. I don't know exactly how far away that is from Manhattan. Yeah. So if you were like a Neolab and your name was like Ominous Intelligence. Yeah this could be a great sort of HQ potentially. You know, your first little micro data center. Very James Bond villain sort of vibe. And yeah, looks like you could make it know, really, really homey. How far is it from Manhattan? Let's see. Okay. It is one hour. You can be in the city in an hour. That's. And imagine walking these halls late at night after a long day at work. Yes. It wouldn't be, it wouldn't be creepy at all. Yes. Robert Carlton was getting the mail one day in April when he saw a group of teenage boys sprinting away from nearby woods. He cut them off at the road and raised his arms. I just said stop. It's over. The 62 year old retired engineer recalled. Soon he said three pursuing New York state police troopers emerged from the treeline and arrested seven juveniles. The criminal charge, Trespassing on the former IBM campus here. Disrespecting international business machines. Don't do it folks. The long vacant site has become a magnet for so called urban explorers who, who prowl abandoned malls, hospitals, power plants, amusement parks, factories and any other unused disused structure they can breach. Enough of the graffiti. Yeah. Do you think putting here we gotta figure out how much. All over international businesses. Yeah, exactly. What was the, what was the IBM? AI Watson. Watson, the machine. What do you mean was? Was probably still at the frontier. Still at the frontier. It was super intelligent. At Jeopardy. The global Urbex, which is short for urban exploration phenomenon. Urbex isn't new, but it's been turbocharged by artsy videos on Instagram and TikTok that spur others to create their own posts, luring more curiosity seekers. Police in Livingston, New Jersey recently warned people to stay out of the closed Livingston Mall property. Jacksonville Beach, Florida police issued a similar caution in April about the shuttered Adventure Landing amusement park. Going into an abandoned amusement park, that is thrill seeking at its best. We are aware of a TikTok challenge to explore. To explore the property. Who's doing these TikTok challenges? Should they, should they be allowed to post those? This is, this is dangerous for some people. I mean seriously, you go in there, there's a lot of broken glass and you know, who knows about the structural integrity of a building that hasn't been inhabited in years or decades? Could be very. Is it on the market? Well, we have some news about that. I don't know if it's actually on the market, but I imagine if you make them an offer they can't refuse, this property could be yours. So Sebastian Capital, the Manhattan company that manages the 723 acre site that's a lot of size, says it is beefed up security and appreciates helps from from police. So I'm shocked by the YouTube comments. Yes. That are wholly coming to the defense of this building. They're saying I hate there's a class of people who see something like this and feel compelled to start breaking things. Why do people vandalize these kinds of places? Interesting. I can't believe these are all the top comments. I can't believe people go in there busting up the place. That's crazy. I would have sort of expected people to be on the side of the urban explorers, on the side of the TikTok challenge challengers. Andrew Proto, a defense lawyer, said a 15 second clip isn't worth a criminal record. Don't do it if you've already been arrested. You're not the first call we've taken this month and you won't be the last. Proto says he has represented or advised several minors arrested on the campus. The Summers town court clerk said some defendants received a six month adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, meaning charges will be dropped and their arrest will be sealed if they avoid trouble. Some explorers who have posted about the IBM site say they follow an observe and preserve ethos and reject vandalism. They say they're driven by curiosity, the thrill of roaming forbidden spaces and a zeal to document discoveries and that they're careful and know their limits. Quote. It actually gives me hope when I hear that kids are out there getting into trouble, said Bradley Garrett, a cultural photographer and author of the book Explore Everything Place Hacking the City about his own Urbex adventures. He sees urban exploration as a gateway drug in a good way, sometimes into intellectual curiosity about history and culture. So you go, you break into this abandoned building and then next thing you know you're an IBM consultant driving enterprise value for S&P 500 companies, traveling businessman. Could happen. Who knows? Could happen. Raghav wants to turn it into an Amman. Amman would be good. Data center. Seems obvious. Depending on what about the first Amman with a data center with some local AI. So quickly. You asked about the price. In 2016, IBM sold the property for $31.75 million. And it's owned by a LLC that shares a Fifth Avenue address with Sebastian Capital. So everyone suspects Sebastian's in on the deal. A plan to convert it to a private school foundered during COVID and Sebastian said it is considered. Yeah, foundering is like failing. But yes, foundered. So floundered would be another appropriate term for what happened, but it did not. It was not successfully converted into a private school, obviously. But if you. If you want to take a wild swing, go pick it up. Make Sebastian Capital an offer. Let's see. I wonder what it would trade for today. Lots of work to be done. Car and drive quickly. Tyler had something on the IBM complex. Yeah. So, okay. Planning to go 1.1 million square feet. Historically, you'd see like, I think something like around 10 watts per square feet. Okay, maybe it's a little bit higher tech, right? This is IBM. It is. An estimate I think is reasonable is around 20 megawatts. 20 megawatts? Yeah. So you're looking at a small data center. Is there any natural gas in the ground? Can we frack. Can we put solar panels on the roof? Can we build a nuclear reactor there? What are our options? If we want to get this thing churning out tokens, we want to turn it into a token machine. Interesting. We should go check it out.
