and it's costing them money. But they say it in big corporate way. Do you want to hear the big corporate way? You say, "Oh we went too woke and we ruined all our products and everybody hates us." Here's the corporate way to say it in public, quote: "We risk relating to misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment, travel and consumer products." Yes, we're not alig…

So I mean you could have an opinion and a sense of things, but if you have a high level of confidence in that opinion I think that would be unwarranted. So I would say he's probably somebody who did some good stuff and some bad stuff and I have no idea how it nets out.
Well, Peter Zeihan has declared he's going to leave the X platform because he said what was once a platform where you could access open source information that was reliable and free has now been laid to rest by Elon Musk. Yes, I'm talking about that little blue bird we've known and loved for years. Now that seems to be pretty close to the opposite of my experience.

Now I can't read his mind, right? So if you're going to say hey you're reading minds, I'd say well okay you got me there. But here's why I think it. I think it because nobody would have this opinion. Nobody would have this opinion. This is not, I mean it's just sort of on its surface it's obviously ridiculous. So to me it looks like it's just some alliance that he's satisfying with this. I don't know who it would be. But so I'm not going to make any accusations about who he really works for. I

'll just note that a lot of people have that view and that my observation is I can't think of a second way to explain it. I don't know a second way to explain this observation. So here's an interesting update on OpenAI and ChatGPT. So another, we've got a resignation by another board member, Helen Toner.
