nversation again. We should never ever be talking about Europe ending free speech in America. If they bring it up again I mean I would just say we're out. You know good luck with Putin and just remove all our assets and say good luck. But I definitely wouldn't change anything at X if that's possible.

The US Air Force is retrofitting some of the F-16 jets with software to make it autonomous. So there'll be no pilot. And they've got several of them that they're working on. They've got six of them they're playing with. And apparently they're pretty close to having autonomous jets, at least the F-16s.

Now at the same time that we're putting these F-16s up autonomously, the UK has developed a drone killer laser weapon that only costs them 13 dollars per shot, and it usually takes one shot to take out a drone. So I'm not so sure that F-16 drones are going to last in the battlefield too long because you've got to figure all of our adversaries are going to have these 13-dollar drone-killing lasers too. So your drone better cost a lot less than an F-16. So I don't know if the F-16 drones have much of a future.

According to Ars Technica, most Americans think AI won't improve their lives, but the people in the business think it's going to be terrific. So there's this gigantic difference between the people who are just casually reading the news about AI and saying I don't think this is going to make my life better. And then the researchers and the techies saying oh man this is going to be the most amazing thing. So we're really not on the same page on this. We'll see.

All right, that's the last of my stories. I'll remind you that Owen Gregorian is going to host in just a few minutes an afterparty on this Spaces app which is within X. So go to X and if you can find my account you'll see I reposted the link or you can just search for Owen Gregorian on X. It'll pop right up near the top of his feed and just click that. I will probably be listening maybe anonymously.

But that is all I have to say for today. I hope it made you all a little bit smarter and happier. And I will see you again tomorrow. Same time, same place. And I'm gonna say hi to the Locals people privately in 30 seconds, but I don't want to hold you up too much from going to join the Spaces.
