y easily probably? What's the biggest thing that has to be solved? Misinformation. Misinformation is the biggest thing that needs to be solved. Grok could have the ability to be the best debater among humans and other AIs because if it's built not to be biased by its nature it might be somebody that you could say hey who's right and who's wrong on this Israel stuff. Might actually tell you. Now it…

bet? I'll bet you're going to see it pretty soon because it's just the best idea. There's not even a debate against it really.

All right. Speaking of what's fake, did you see some video of what allegedly is a Gaza hospital rally which shows a courtyard packed with people? What apparently is the Gaza hospital and they're watching screens and we're told that on the screens, although you can't see the screens conveniently, are Hamas what they would call their victories in October 7th. A bunch of shootings and stuff. And the people cheering wildly in favor of the murdering of the Jews in Israel. Did that look real to you? A number of people said yes because I guess the hospital looks like the real hospital. I'm going to say no on that. I'm going to say no because we couldn't see the screens that's number one and we don't know the timing of it. You know we don't know if they were there in some past time for some different event. Just don't know. So I'm going to say that one's don't believe it. But here's why I don't believe it. I don't believe it because it's too on the nose. Here's what's on the nose about it. The number one problem that Israel has right now in terms of public relations is that they're being accused of killing too many civilians. This video would very clearly tell you that there's no such thing as civilians. Right? That's not true. That's not true. We assume that there are all kinds of people who live there with all kinds of opinions. That's almost certainly true. But if you see enough videos where the civilians seem as radicalized as the actual armed Hamas fighters your brain says oh you're all the same. Doesn't it? It's impossible not to have that. Oh you kill them all. They're all the same. So that video was just way too on the nose of what one side would like you to consume. On the other hand it might be exactly what happened. I don't know. But I would say that whenever you see one that's that close on the nose just put a pin in it and don't treat it as true or false. Treat it as don't know. Don't know.

Where can you get Grok? Right now you have to be invited so it's only by invitation. I clicked on something I think it was one of Elon's notices today that had a link where you can go sign up to be one of the early testers. So I just signed up to be an early access but I wouldn't assume that I would be selected. Imagine they're looking for people who are more in the space but I don't know.

d always worth reading. Always worth reading. He's just a real smart observer of things who seems to want what's best for America. And so I always pay attention. To me he seems like a straight shooter even if you disagree you know where he's coming from. He's a clear communicator. So he is really hopping mad at Harvard for what he would say is allowing anti-Semitic behavior wildly and not cracking…
