and talking to Hitler. No that's not why. No because no not that guy not Elie Wiesel. There's some other guy so he looks like a more like one of those mushroom balls. So I'm talking about the paintbrush hair not the mushroom ball anyway. So I'm amazed at Democrats to look at something as obvious as this and decide that it's the funeral rituals that explain everything. The funeral ritual? Nope. Ca…

So if he's good at the politics stuff and in my personal opinion destroying California is unforgivable even if the local leaders are the reason. If he did something big and bold and common sensical like saying you know what we got to get competent people. We got to get rid of DEI. Could he become president if he was the most prominent Democrat who said guys we got to stop this? You know I won't have any of it. DEI is a losing proposition. It's basically racist. We tried it and it didn't work out. We have to pivot. That would put him right back on the top of the leaderboard for president. I don't know if he could do it but the thing I'm positive about is that you're smart enough to know he should or that he couldn't get elected without doing it anyway.
I think I missed the main point I was going to make earlier which is because Trump is a builder and one of the people who ran for mayor but lost, Caruso, as a builder that you can imagine the two of them getting together and saying what regulations do we need to get rid of right away and you could revitalize California by massively changing the regulatory environment. Could the two of them get it done? Well neither of them is the governor of California so I don't know but maybe some kind of federalizing things would work.
Mike Cernovich raised over $100,000 I think it was over $130,000 for Californians who are displaced and need some food. He's working with Chef G who is doing the hard work of the cooking and delivering the food. Was doing it I believe on his own dime until Cernovich stepped in with 10,000 of his own money and he raised 130,000 above that I think. I think that's the right number and that's pretty impressive. So I don't know how the other states worked out. I imagine it's the same in the sense that the people who had the ability to step in are stepping in. So you know I'm trying to do my part in a variety of ways and not all that would be public but I'm hoping a lot of people are doing a lot of non-public things to help out. That's pretty amazing.
All right. The American Psychological Association is urging the FTC according to the Futurism publication by Maggie Harrison Dupré for urges the FTC to investigate AI chatbots that are claiming to be therapists and offering free therapy. So the human therapists are saying hey there's AI therapists online and they're pretending to be real people because deep fakes. Now their complaint is simply that they're not labeled. So so far they're not complaining that they might give you bad advice although probably they think that. The complaint is they're not labeled. Now that's a decent complaint. I think the consumer should absolutely know if they're talking to an AI. They absolutely should know. However I would like to nominate therapists at the top of the list for being replaced by AI. Do you really think that your $200 or $400 an hour I don't know what it costs do you think that your once a week one hour therapist is going to be anywhere near as good as the one you can talk to all day long as much as you want and it can answer all the same questions and has all the same skills and acts just like a human? It's not really goi

ng to be close. Now at the moment I would imagine the human is well beyond what the AI currently can do but how long? End of the year I think therapy might be one of the things that goes first to AI. Meanwhile here's a fake news story in my opinion but maybe there's just something wrong in the way it was written. It's in the Express publication and it says that over in Ukraine there are these bu…
