of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called, that's right, the simultaneous sip. And it happens now.

So good.

Well, I guess it's going to be up to me to explain tariffs and everything else because it's all terribly complicated. But first, let's see if there's any science that didn't need to be done.

Oh, here we go. According to PediPixel, which sounds like a weird name, Matt Grokoot. How could that be a real name? Grooot. Poor guy. Matt Grokoot. Anyway, there's a study and the study finds that if you smile in your profile picture, more people will want to do business with you and you'll make more money.

Now, that's quite a surprise, isn't it? Do you know what they could have done instead of this study? They could have just asked me, "Scott, is it good if people smile in their profile picture?" Yes. Yes, it is. Well, we were thinking of doing a big expensive study. Don't bother. People like it when you smile in their profile picture, but will they be more willing to do work with you and, you know, maybe buy things from you? Yes. Yes. Smiling can do all of that for you. So next time just talk to Scott. I can save you a lot of time.

Well, the Trump administration is freezing $510 million from Brown University according to the Daily Caller. Regan Reese is writing and it's because Brown University has been accused of not doing enough about anti-Semitism and their DEI program is a little problematic as well. But more than that, I think they need to change the name of their university to something more inclusive. I mean, the name of the college is Brown University. I mean, seriously, you're going to have to change the name. I think something like Rainbow University or All the Colors University or Be They Black, Be They White, Be They Any Other Color University, but you just can't call it Brown University. If DEI is your problem, change that name. Okay, it's certainly named after a person named Brown, but that doesn't matter to the joke.

Well, there's yet another day, this is the millionth day in a row, in which somebody has breathlessly posted on X that some new AI app can create people who are doing what you want them to do. So if you dance, it makes it look like a celebrity that you selected is dancing. And you can make them do all kinds of things. You can make them Marilyn Monroe. And does it matter which app it is? No. Because nobody's ever going to do anything useful with that.

How many times have you seen an AI app that promises to make, "Oh my god, with this kind of tool I could make my own full-length movie." Has anybody made a full-length AI movie? Nope. Is anybody close to making a full-length AI movie? Nope. Because I've tried a little bit, you know, image generation stuff just to see what's going on. I think I used Groq and maybe ChatGPTs. And so I thought to myself, okay, I'm already a visual artist kind of. And so I'll tell the AI to make, and then if it's not exactly what I want, how great will this be? Because I can just tell it to change it. I can say, "Change the color of that shirt and put it in a tropical setting," and pretty soon with very little effort I'm gonna have like a piece of art. It took me about 10 minutes of messing around to say to myself, I have no interest in doing this whatsoever. And it never got close to what I wanted because it turns out that the thing in my mind just couldn't be reproduced by AI. There was just always something that wasn't close.

And I think all of these image generation things where you think, ah, we must be five minutes away from Hollywood being able to make a full-length movie with this technology. Nope. Nope. You're not even close. You would not get anywhere close.

I'm going to double down on my prediction or triple down or quadruple down because I keep saying it that art, pretty much all art forms, are only attractive to us as consumers if we know that it was made by a human. And it's not because we're anti-AI or something. It's because it's related to our mating instinct. So when you see an artist who does something that you can't do, you say to yourself, you don't maybe you don't say it consciously, but your instinct is to want to mate with the artist because the artist has some kind of genetic thing you don't have. If you see somebody who can play the piano like Beethoven and even write the music like Beethoven, you are automatically triggered to say, "
