and just replace the entire smartphone industry with some kind of AI phone that works on satellites? I feel like that could happen kind of quickly.

So there's some new news on the large language models. Apparently somebody did in fact come up with a new algorithm dubbed calibration aware low precision decomposition. Okay doesn't matter what it's called but somebody found a way to massively change the size of the computing and increase the efficiency to the point where it's sort of knocking on the door of making Nvidia, I won't say obsolete, but you wouldn't need as much of it. And while I don't think you could bet on any one breakthrough, I'm not saying this will change Nvidia's fate, I just feel like the whole AI thing is just begging for some kind of massive disruption. Or somebody says instead of this 10 billion data center watch I put it on your phone. That's basically what these guys did. It's a little less good than if it ran through the data center and it uses too much electricity on your phone so it drains your phone. But if those are the only problems, it's a little less efficient and it uses a little more electricity than your phone, to me that sounds kind of dangerous to the people who sell billion dollar data centers. But again I don't think this breakthrough is going to change everything but I feel like there's going to be some massive AI related technological breakthrough that makes the data centers less important. That's my prediction.

The FBI says that if you text between an iPhone and Android it's not secure meaning that it's not encrypted. And so they're saying maybe you should use WhatsApp and Signal. I'm here to tell you again as a public service if you send a message in any way to another human being you don't have a secure anything. It doesn't matter if it was secure when it went across the network. It ended up with a human being. Human beings can't be trusted. Are you kidding me? No there's no such thing as a secure message. Trust me on this. If there's one thing you can be sure of you can't trust the person on the other side of the message. That's a guarantee. So no, just treat everything like it's public and you'll be better off.

Surprisingly the jobs report was revised to make it better in September. Usually that close to the election I would have thought it would go the other way but revised up the number of jobs that were created and unemployment at 4.2 which is a little high but it's not crazy high. So that's looking pretty good.

All right we got to talk about this United Healthcare CEO stuff. On one hand I usually don't like to talk about individual crimes so I usually don't talk about the murder or the one migrant who did some terrible things no matter how bad they are because they seem anecdotal and you get too hypnotized by the anecdote and then you think it means something larger than it does. Sometimes it does but you could be fooled by that.

But this healthcare CEO murder really is touching a lot of third rails. What would I say? Touching a lot of triggers because people have so many issues with healthcare and with insurance especially. So here are some things that are reported. Number one that these shell casings had somehow carved into them, what do you call it when you carve something into the metal? Etched in. And that it said something about delay, deny and defend which is the name of a book which is about how healthcare insurance companies deny claims to make money. And so the thinking is oh this was a sort of a political statement something about the company and the way it did business.

But I don't think it's confirmed that those shell casings have that engraved. Thank you, engraved is the word I was looking for. I don't think that's confirmed. I feel like there was one source that said it and then it got repeated. I'm going to wait on that one. If I had to bet I would place a small bet that the shell casings don't have that on them and that that's just fake news. Does anybody have the same feeling? I wouldn't place a big bet on it but I'd bet a hundred dollars if somebody wanted to bet me. I bet a hundred dollars that there's nothing on the shell casings because it's exactly too on the nose. But it's possible.

Now if there is something on the shell casing does that mean that it was a political event? No because the one thing we know about the shooter is there was a lot of preparation. If there was a lot of preparation it also opens up the possibility that part of his escape plan was to make you think it was done for a different reason. So if he had done it for personal reasons and he wanted to make you look for people who had political reasons so the attention would be diverted, well maybe that would be exactly how you'd do it. Maybe you'd put something on a shell casing so they think ah we got him now it's political. But I feel like if it were political you wouldn't do it that way would you? Wouldn't you just type out a message and drop it there or something? It doesn't feel right to me.

The other thing I learned from this is that you can't trust gun experts. Did you have the same experience I did which is oh finally here's a gun expert who's going to explain what we just saw and I go okay, oh got it
