tart a little bit. Did you know that if you took a room that had Wi-Fi in it and also human beings walking around in that room, and then you let AI study the visual, you know, by video of the people walking around, but also you give it all the information about the Wi-Fi bouncing around, that it can actually learn to identify the shape of a human in the room so that later, when you take the video…

Now what's that do for law enforcement, you ask? Well, I can imagine it would do a lot. But there's a privacy issue of course, so we'll keep an eye on that.
As of this morning I had over 3 million views on my post on X in which I explained what I call the Bill Maher history, which is how could he be so smart and well informed and have such wrong opinions about Trump. Because I used to think it was just, I don't know, he personally didn't like him or maybe just trying to satisfy his audience. But none of those things really added up because he's not the guy who just says what his audience wants to hear. He's just not. I mean he has a very long history of saying things that he knows the audience isn't going to like and even calls it out when he's saying it. So he's not doing it just to make them happy. I'm pretty sure of that.
So my speculation was, and I showed three examples in the post, I won't go over it again, of three things that his news sources clearly never told him that would completely change how you saw the situation. Things that people who use the X platform, people who follow the news on both the left and the right, have known forever. Just really basic stuff. And so I got 3 million views on that, which suggests that I hit some kind of a chord.
Now somebody asked me on X, they said, Scott, why don't you deprogram Bill Maher? Do you know what my answer is? I just did. With 3 million views there's almost zero chance that it won't come to his attention. Would you agree? I mean I don't believe he uses the X platform himself. He probably has staff tweeting stuff. And I know he doesn't follow me on X or follow me in any normal way. But if you get 3 million hits on something that nobody considered crazy, right? Nobody said it was crazy. I very clearly said these are things that you've been told. This is what people who see more of the news see. That's all. Nothing really you could even argue about. So I believe that that's going to have the effect that I hoped, which is that he's going to say to himself some version of, am I not seeing the whole story here? That's reprogramming. If I can simply put into his head that he's not seeing the w

hole information, we're done. I was trying to imagine what would happen if I were to talk to him on Club Random, you know, one-on-one about his Trump derangement syndrome or anything else in politics. And one of the weird things I came to believe is that he and I have enough of a similarity in age and background and demographics, you know, I almost went to the college he went to, upstate New Yor…
