I count up here at 508, we'll drink and toast with a show of the day. And we do have your headlines on the way at 550. But first quick checkup with Mike Hawk and some of the stories and headlines he is not working on. Well, thank you, Miles. X accounts have been limited to 50 posts and 200 replies a day unless they pay for that blue check mark. Hmm. Who posts 50 times a day on X? That was kind of my thought. I mean, my God. I get it. There's the restrictive issue with it where, you know, we should be able to post that as much we want. It's like, also, if you're posting 50 posts a day and 200 replies in a day, you need a break. You're a bot. You are. I mean, seriously, just eradicate the bots.

0:39.0

If it's a real human being, I mean, I know you can tell that with a blue check because they're paying you. Right. But if it's not, just, you know, just you know it's a bot. Get rid of it. Exactly. It's your damn platform. Just clean it out. You know everything about it or somebody who works for you does. Right.

0:52.3

Just get rid of that crap.

0:54.7

Right.

0:55.7

Feel like the AI bots can track down AI bots and just take them out, right? Like, there's got to be a program that can be built for that. It's not a person, man. Like, what was the country that said, look, you need to verify who you are to be on social media? Sure. I think there's, I think that's absolutely awesome.

1:12.9

I don't think, I don't think there's, and also I don't think people realize how many bots and

1:16.4

stuff that are very good, that they're either influenced by or arguing with on social media.

1:21.2

Absolutely.

1:21.6

And it's like, that's not a real person.

1:23.0

Right.

1:23.8

Sometimes I see arguments and comment sections that I look at them and I think like is this entire

1:28.5

argument AI? Yeah. Like is this two accounts that have just created this fictional argument because

1:34.9

that's what we do and it makes it look more authentic? Yeah. Possibly. To be honest with me, if they're

1:39.9

smart it is. Right. Right. At all point is to get people engaged. Right. Or you call, you know, Cal Raleigh not getting an MVP of travesty and then you get 500 replies from Yankees fans. Those were not bots. They were not. A couple of people I interacted with. One guy was really nice. Oh, yeah? Instead, I'm just looking out for my guy. I live in Seattle. He's like, all right, I get it now. But a lot of people, a lot of bald hate. But there be some fat jokes or whatever.

2:02.3

It's just like, one guy, I get it now. But a lot of people, a lot of bald hate. About there being some fat jokes or whatever, it's just like, one guy, just you bald bastard. Does that one in New York have hair? I don't know. It was very, like, I just, again, the level of bald jokes. I was like, all right. You've long since come to grips with your baldness, but damn, it's starting to cut. Yeah. Like that that's what I'm saying. Like, that one really doesn't bug me. Like, I am bald. Don't tell them it doesn't bug you. Don't find something else. You don't know. You're like, do not tell them that. Speaking of AI, grade inflation is booming as every student is basically submitting the same essay. Yeah. Oh, all right. That's how you did it, Dylan. Cool. My buddy's son graduated with a very good GPA. Congratulations. My thing is, then what do you do? You got 30 students in the class. They all roughly turn in the same essay, right? I mean, like, what do you do? Right. That's...

2:51.2

Have them do it again, because they'll just go to different AI to do the same thing. Right. They've already made it clear, we're not here to do the work, we're here to get the grade. I see both sides of this argument as well, because on the one side, there is, there is the, it's the wave of the future. AI is going to find its place in our society, however, and that is one thing that is going to be is random

3:08.3

coming up with essays or whatever it is

3:10.6

random research and stuff and learning about things. Okay, AI is going to play a very big factor in that. On the other hand, I do also understand that we need to show comprehension. That's what these tests and essays are for is showing comprehension, which we don't have right now. I agree. 10,000% that it should be comprehension. But, and I remember being younger, barely. But the idea was, like, look, I want to get this grade, because getting a grade is about me getting a job in the future. And everything we're... But everything we keep telling these same people is that AI is going to be around. So in their mind, they're just ahead of the curve. Like, look, if my job's going to be just, I agree the comprehension is important. Societally speaking, comprehension is important. It is important, but it's not as important as it used to me. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm saying the reality for people is it's about getting a job, getting into college,

4:02.5

all these different things. When influencers are the biggest thing, you can't at the same time tell people the comprehension means anything. Yeah. Did you care about Kim Kardashian? Then I'll tell

4:07.0

them the comprehension. It doesn't matter because some of the dumbest people on earth are the people

4:11.6

that are making... Running things. Right. right tens of millions of dollars so i agree

4:16.0

with you but you also look at the corporate america they don't care about copyright no just
