You want to talk

private data the way

the computers in "The Matrix"
used humans as batteries, right?

Right? I mean...

of data points

on people's private lives...

The data that PINATA uses,
which launches in the new year,

The data is out there.

It is vulnerable
and not because of me.

No, the people in this room
and the companies

they represent have taken it
and sold it

and are doing it a billion times
per second as we speak.

Okay? I'm just the conduit.

I'm... I'm donkey leagues.

Whoo!

Well, there are also rumors

that you have acquired

And will you, likewise, make
the DNA of these people

publicly accessible?

Oh, excuse me.
To your platinum subscribers.

Guilty. It is true.

Huh. Well...
[Audience booing, clapping]

- ...it's one thing to peddle

wouldn't you like to know
if that guy's gonna go bald

or if he's gonna have
a coronary?

Or... Or having kids
with this guy...

What...
What does that mean?

I mean, probability
for things like intelligence,

physical stamina,
drug addiction.

What if there... there's
schizophrenia in the family?

How about if you're hiring
this guy?

Or insuring this guy?

Or admitting him

How about admitting him
to your country?

Boo!

Well, now,
that sounds like...

Okay, now, this... this is gonna

alcoholism, bad breath.

who's going to want that job
