rect me if I'm wrong but the limit for something like Meta to transmit realistic looking images like you're in a 3D world, the limit is the transmission, right? It's not the computer and it's not the limit of the software. Am I right about that? It's just a transmission limit. Well let me explain to you how the transmission limit could be gamed. You ready? Let's say you want to transmit, I think…

For example, if the receiving side already had a full model of me and then I took my hand and I went like this, it could use AI on its end to say well I know what that would look like. If his head looks like this here and he moves up here it's still going to look like the hand. I'll just recreate it as if it had been transmitted. But the only thing being transmitted is the coordinate changes. You know where your fingers are. So it'd be like the end of my fingertip. It knows that it was here but now it's here so it just fills in the rest.
So we already have a technology that can get around a lot of speed limitations.

Woke is a laughing stock at this point."
Have you noticed how useful Elon Musk is in moving the needle on everything? It's hard to find any category that's interesting that he isn't the most important voice in it. Because if Scott says wokeness has jumped the shark, maybe it makes some content for my show, maybe you repost it. But if Musk says it, by tonight it could be a headline. Like I wouldn't be surprised if Fox News covers this as a story because he's said it. They wouldn't cover it if I said it. It's

amazing how useful he is in pushing energy toward one point of view. Because certainly it would be good if everybody started thinking oh wokeness is the funny stuff. Like it's just a joke. And Musk is saying it directly. Yeah it's basically a joke. So that helps. Thank you for alerting me to that. Anyway, Hunter's agreed to testify and allow it to be a public hearing. And so his lawyers have said…
