ing to work at all. So once again I think we're going to learn that the people who have all the advantages—and in this case it would be the rich, smart people—probably can get a huge advantage from using AI as part of their process. But I'm not so sure that AI is going to work for every kind of student. It might only work for the top students, and then everybody else has to figure it out. We'll s…

Meanwhile, Zero Hedge is reporting that there was this gigantic $250 million fraud involving a Child Nutrition program, a federal Child Nutrition program. And a whole bunch of Somali immigrants stole $250 million in Minnesota. Now that was between March 2020 and January 2022. Now, how many times have we heard a story about gigantic amounts of money being stolen? I'm starting to lose sort of the distinction between all the stories. But it does feel to me like quite a few billions of dollars are being stolen from taxpayers. And it's like the government never heard of anything like auditing or accounting or tracking your progress.

And so the Associated Press had to correct their story because it was wrong.
But the fun part of the story is that the reporter who wrote it, one of his prior jobs was he was part of the AP's first misinformation beat team, focusing on explaining falsehoods, propaganda, and conspiracy theories while exposing the creators of this material and their techniques for dissemination. How many times have the fake news people got onto the, hey, we'll check the fake news for the other people? Sometimes it's exactly what you'd expect. You know, I have this theory that shoe salesmen, if it's men who are selling shoes to women, that eventually it will be only men who have foot fetishes, because they would be most drawn to the field and they would work longer hours cheaper because they were getting an extra benefit from it. And it just seems to me that the organizations that are tryin

g to fact-check other organizations, probably they're filled with fake news people, because it just feels like that's what would be drawn to those jobs. Oh, so I can just call other people fake news? Yeah, that would be your job. All right, I'm in. Well, Trump is saying on Truth Social it's time to defund NPR and PBS immediately. He says that they're both horrible and they're completely biased pl…
