think AI will eventually take jobs, it's going to be a fight. The walls and the pointy-haired bosses are going to have to duke it out for about five years.

Well, allegedly, according to Neuroscience News, speaking of AI, a new study of ChatGPT 4.0 shows that it's susceptible to cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance in the AI. Now this would be considered a cognitive flaw in human beings. And there's a test that I remember from the book Influence by Cialdini and the test was they would have people, they would just stop random people and have them write essays on topics that they did not believe, that were not their actual opinions. And then he would check back with them and they would have changed their opinions to what they wrote in the essay instead of what they said was their opinion just before they wrote the essay. So that would be cognitive dissonance. So they wouldn't be aware of the fact that they had persuaded themselves by writing an essay that they didn't believe in and then you wait a few months and suddenly they believed in their own essay.

So they did the same experiment with AI and found out that AI would change its opinion because it wrote an opinion earlier that was not its actual opinion. So they did something with pro or con Putin and they got the AI to have cognitive dissonance. Well, I don't know if that's fixable because if AI is based on the patterns of human beings, how do you fix that? Because that is a pattern of human beings. It's a very distinct pattern. So we'll see.

Meanwhile, Jake Tapper was on Stephen A. Smith's podcast and Jake Tapper was calling out Letitia James and Alvin Bragg for being lawfare prosecutors who said they were going to go after Trump before they had any particular crimes they were going to go after. And so Jake says it's problematic when prosecutors run on pledges to go after a politician and the media largely let it slide. The media. You mean CNN? And he says there was a degree to which it was tolerated by the media at large. That would be him. It's the weirdest thing to watch Jake Tapper do a book tour, which is very successful. I think his book is number one. People are saying good things about the book. But he's essentially confessing some of the biggest flaws in the mainstream media of which he was a part. And he's not saying he wasn't part of it. He's not trying to say it was other people. He's saying it was him. And it's weirdly disarming, you know, the fact that he called Lara Trump and apologized to her in person. Like you want to get mad at him and say, "Oh, what about Lara Trump?" And then you find out he called her personally and apologized and you're like, "Ah, oh, I'm still a little bit mad." And then you want to be mad at him for not calling out the lawfare of Letitia James and then he calls it out and I'm like, "Yeah, but what about... Okay, I guess you just said that." It's very disarming and he's totally getting away with it. And it's an amazing thing to watch.

Jake Tapper also told Stephen A. Smith that none of the sources he talked to about Biden's declining brain, he said none of them showed any remorse. None of them. I guess they didn't write books. If you write a book, you have to show some remorse or people would be too mad at you. But I'm not surprised because they all thought they were working on the side of good. Oh, we're the good people.

Speaking of good, Paramount, as you know, is in a legal battle with Trump over the fact that their CBS News had edited a Kamala interview. And they're offering $15 million to settle Trump's lawsuit, but Trump's team wants $25 million. Now the interesting thing about it is that I guess Trump's administration has control over whether Paramount does a big merger that they want to do. So they've got about, I don't know, they might have a billion dollars on the line with the merger. So the difference between 15 million and 25 probably is not that big a difference if it's the only way to get the billion dollar merger going. So I don't approve of using that kind of government leverage, but there it is. So I'd be surprised if they don't get their 25 million just to get it off the plate.

Anyway, according to MSNBC, MSNBC had a guest on who was a former Biden pardon attorney. I didn't even know there was a pardon attorney, but there was one, Liz Oyer. And while she was on, she accused the Trump administration of accepting a million-dollar donation from a family member of someone who got pardoned. But sin
