eavy one. There's one that's $300 a month. I don't have that one. So Elon Musk says, "We're in the beginning of an immense intelligence big bang right now, and we're at the most interesting time to be alive any time in history." Now, you want to know how I know we're living in a simulation, right? Just imagine this. Imagine it depends where you want to go back. They'll say 300,000 years of human…

The other thing I want to say is I want to start working before I pick an app. So for example if I want to text somebody I know, I want a blank screen every time, nothing but a blank screen, and then just start typing a message. And then the AI says, "Oh, he's making a short message on this topic where he was just talking to Bob." So then it will indicate as I work that it plans to open up a text, send a text message to Bob. Now if that's not what I intended or if there maybe is more than one thing that I might be potentially hinting I want, it would give me a couple of choices, but I would do the selecting of the app at the end or not at all because AI would know.
Suppose I wanted to work on a spreadsheet. So I've got some existing spreadsheets that you know I update now and then. If the only thing I did is start writing the new data for the new spreadsheet, the new spreadsheet should just appear and then it would ask me if I wanted that data to be on this column in this place. So you see how awesome that would be.
But the problem is that Apple has commercialized this whole app model which has been great for revenue I guess but I don't want apps. I don't want any apps. I want just stuff to work and I want to just start working as soon as I open the phone. Now you might say to yourself that that would be a terrible idea but it depends on implementation.
Well, in other news, DJI, that's a big drone maker in China, they have made a drone that can lift about 176 pounds and transport it for 16 miles. That's the weight of a human that can carry for 16 miles. What? And it's not that big. The drone itself looks like I don't know, maybe a six foot wingspan or something like that. But if you can carry 176 pounds for 16 miles, you've got yourself a pretty good assassination machine right there. Because we know now that the Russians have the ability to have a drone that just loiters and just hangs around and looks for its targets and it's unjammable.
So imagine it being unjammable, can travel 16 miles, can find the target on its own after you've specified some stuff I guess, and then it could drop 176 pounds of explosives in that area. So that would be pretty bad. But on the positive side, maybe they'll use it for rescuing people in remote locations. Or maybe it will be delivering your lunch. I don't know.
I tell this story all the time, but I haven't told it in a while, so it's worth re-upping. Years ago when drones were a little bit newer and less powerful, I attended a startup pitch event at Berkeley, you know, Berkeley the college, and I was one of the judges of the pitches. And one of the companies pitching had developed a new kind of blade for drones that they claimed would vastly improve its cargo carrying ability from what it was at the time, which wasn't very much.
And I remember asking the startup crew, now remember this is Berkeley, so it's the most lefty leaning group of people you've ever seen in your life. And I said, "Wow, with this new ability to carry more cargo, I would think the military would be very interested in your product." Well, you should have seen their faces when this left-leaning group of entrepreneurs in Berkeley just realized that they had designed death weapons from above, but they weren't aware of what they had done.

ithuania got attacked by a Russian suicide drone. I'm seeing somebody report that in the comments, but I wouldn't take that as a fact yet. That sounds unusual. Apparently T-Mobile had a thriving DEI program or set of programs, but they're going to get rid of all their DEI according to Newsmax because they need FCC approval for some mergers and deals they want to do. So once again, it wasn't enoug…
