als because they came into the country illegally. They're all criminals. Scott, Scott, Scott. So if you're an NPC, I'll give you a few minutes to say the most obvious thing you could say, which is whenever we talk about criminal non-citizens, you feel it's necessary to remind us as if we didn't know that coming into the country is itself illegal. So get it out of your system. I know some of you ne…

Now what would be another name for synthetic training data? Well, it would be imagination. It would be imagination because it's not based on reality, but you perceive it as if it's reality but you know it's not. And I would only add I think that's how humans work. When you're thinking about doing something that you know is not routine, don't you imagine all of the outcomes? And when you're imagining all the different outcomes, is that not you using your human brain for what the AI would call synthetic training data? I do. I mean is your brain different than mine? If I'm considering any kind of big move or anything important, I imagine it going right. I imagine it going wrong. And I imagine all the other possibilities and each of them are not real. They're synthetic training data from my own brain. And then once I've seen a bunch of synthetic imaginary possibilities, that retrains my brain for whichever one of those I think is the most likely or the favored one or whichever one scares me the most, I want to avoid the most, etc. But I feel like this is a perfect description of what a human brain does. It imagines synthetic data and then it rewrites your own brain based on your imagination. That's what TDS is. TDS is people imagining this authoritarian king and then they rewrite their brains in this case into mental illness. So it's not always good. AI might have the same problems. But it seems to me that imagination, if it works correctly, it helps you make a better decision. But if your imagination is flawed, as it is with the authoritarian Trump stuff, he's going to be your king. If your imagination is flawed, which you might call your synthetic training data, then you're going to have mental illness. So I predict that AI will have mental illness. So that's my prediction, mental illness.
And furthermore, that the only way to fix the mental illness if it gives it to itself by creating synthetic training data and then convincing itself that it's true or acting as though this is reality that you're going to need something like an AI therapist that you would have to there would have to be a separate AI that would work with your AI to help it with its mental problems because it's imagining that a king is going to take over or it's imagining that executive orders are authoritarian or something. So that's coming.
According to Breitbart, Bob Price is writing about a sophisticated cross-border tunnel that's been found that links San Diego to Tijuana. Apparently it's just this massive tunnel they found. Which makes me ask the following questions. Has not the Trump administration been bragging about zero people getting across the border or zero people released? I forget what the exact phrase is, but how would we know how many people are coming through tunnels that we haven't found? Would we know?
They were thinking that this tunnel is for moving drugs because it had like a railroad component to it. So it looked like it was for moving large weights. But if it were moving people, would we even know? I don't know. Because we didn't know about this tunnel until recently. So I don't know if it was functioning actually. But how many tunnels are there? There must be a lot of them. There's got to be at least one tunnel for every cartel.
Wired publication and Reese Rogers is talking about Amazon is upgrading their Alexa. I won't say it out loud because it'll activate your devices at home. But the thing that Amazon has that you talk to is using a staggering amount of AI tools to rewrite it. So here's the advantage of being a slow follower of a trend. If Amazon had been a fast follower or tried to be like the leading edge of AI, they would have had whatever tools you have when you first start, which would not be that great. But because it seems like they waited too long, it feels like they're at least a year behind AI, they get the advantage of using all the AI tools to build their AI. So apparently they've done a massive amount of coding using AI to do the coding in the process of building their own AI that will drive their Alexa. So I guess that's being rolled out to some specific power users, but we'll see it pretty soon. I just was impressed by the fact that when you start makes such a difference. Being first like IBM was the first with Windows computers but they didn't last. So being a follower who jumps in right at the right time when all the tools are there and you really know what you can and cannot do. Pretty good approach. Jeff Bezos' team doing

it again. The BBC is reporting that the founder and boss of the Telegram app, it's a messaging app, plans to leave his multi-billion dollar fortune to over a hundred children he fathered. A hundred. Now he didn't do it the Elon Musk way. He only had six children the normal way that people have children and all the rest of his hundredish children were because he had donated to a sperm bank. So he…
