ody associated with it just paid $100 to see what I thought about it, so I hope you got your $100 worth. Freedom GPT, worth a Google search. I haven't looked into it, but seems like the free market might be responding. All right. So yeah, that's Oakland. The murder rate in Oakland is so high that there's only been one murder that I can remember in my town and it was a resident of Oakland who drov…

We see that AI will probably bring a bunch of benefits. If the only thing that AI did was make it easier to do paperwork it would change everything. Do you know how much of my day involves — well right now literally you know I print out my notes but then I have to review a detailed contract and then I had to fill out like five different international forms last night because of some rebate thing for investment I did. If AI would just do my paperwork and do my bookkeeping and stuff, oh my God that would be amazing. So I think AI will be — there's definitely an existential threat so I agree with the people who say it's unpredictable. Anything could happen. So yes it's an existential threat but not likely.

No disrespect to the trans community. It's just maturity if we can talk honestly about what's true and what's not.
So inflation may not go away directly in terms of too much money printed, but we might be able to deal with it indirectly by lowering the actual cost of housing and energy. Imagine if a Republican becomes president. Very likely probably America will start drilling like crazy and that should almost immediately lower the cost of energy. Energy being the primary ingredient in everything should lower everything as energy goes down. We're also seeing — it's going to be hard but — repatriating American businesses, especially the important ones like pharma, getting it out of China, getting it over here. I think the border will be closed by the next president. Honestly almost everything is trending in the right direction.
Now suicides are up but I'm going to give you a contrarian opinion on that. People who kill themselves are getting what they want. So you

know there's a slice of them that could be saved and should be if you could do it. So there's a tragic part of it that's undeniable. But it's also true that you could easily imagine yourself in a situation where you're 95 and you've got nothing but pain left. You know all your loved ones died before you did. You know that sort of — you could imagine somebody saying you know what I'm going to do th…
