ets it. We should just maybe give no money to anybody. You know, if this were the only story today, I would be filled with outrage because my tax money went to loans to children. But I'm having outrage exhaustion. Anybody else have that? It's like every time I look at social media, oh, there's another $100 million somebody stole. Oh, there's another $200 million somebody stole. And it all starts just looking like baseline after a while. So I worry that we will stop being outraged by stories that are really outrageous.

Well, there's a new AI that everybody's talking about called Manus, and it's a Chinese AI. And the people who have tested it and written about it on social media seem to be blown away by how good it is. So it's not a regular AI. It's an AI agent. Now the difference between a regular AI and an AI agent is that a regular AI, you can talk to it and then ask it questions and it can give you good answers and it can tell you how to code something. But an agent, you can just tell it to go do a thing and then it'll go do a thing. Now I'm not entirely clear about what things it could have access to, which of your other apps or your databases or whatever. But apparently it's wowing the people who are trying it. And they think that China is not only not behind the United States in AI, but if you look at DeepSeek and you look at Manus together, they suggest that China might already be ahead.

Now it could be that the only thing they're ahead in is doing things that we wouldn't do here, such as unleashing an agent. You know, because the agent feels like that's a security risk. And you would not be surprised that Tennessee is the first state to already ban it. So Manus has just come out within the week. It's already banned in Tennessee. And I think there's more efforts by other attorney generals to ban all the Chinese AIs, to ban DeepSeek. And probably more of them want to ban Manus. Probably a good idea. I can tell you that there's not a chance I would put that on my computer. I would never put on my computer something that's not only a Chinese AI but it's an agent. Isn't that just asking for it? It's even called an agent. It just sounds like the most dangerous thing you could put on your computer.

Meanwhile, according to the Wall Street Journal, one in four new US jobs posted are going to ask for AI skills. So it's not just that they want you to be an AI expert, but that whatever your job is, you should have a little capability with AI. Now if I could give you any job advice whatsoever, it would be learn AI. You know, you don't have to learn how to create it. You know, that's for other people. But you should know which AIs do what, and you should know generally how to make it do some stuff, and you should know how to ask questions and how to query things. And you should know AI. It's not really optional if you're going to be a job seeker especially. So make sure you know AI.

Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau is out and Mark Carney has got the new leadership position. That looks like he'll be the next prime minister as soon as they call it for a vote. I guess that's how their system works. So he's not official
