ething in a particular audience or at a particular time. So he's really good at making sure that the things he says are a little bit inappropriate for the audience. That's sort of the secret of what makes you laugh about it. Well, here he's talking to the White House Faith Office at a luncheon and he was talking about the good things that his big beautiful bill would do to make everybody richer.…

Mark Zuckerberg, who allegedly is using gigantic piles of money to recruit AI experts to Meta, says it's not just because of the money that people want to work for him for another reason that might not be so obvious to you, but not just about the money. The researchers want access to the maximum amount of compute because you could be an AI expert, but if every time you log on to do some AI stuff, you don't have enough compute power, you're not going to go very far. So it sounds like the people who know the most about AI really want to be in an environment where they have the maximum GPUs. And Zuckerberg promises them that they'll be part of a smallish team that'll report directly to the CEO. And I'm thinking to myself, that's actually a pretty good package if you knew you were directly connected to the top guy and you were getting a lot of money, but also you had the most compute power, which they don't have yet.
But listen to this. Now this is something I saw on X by Sawyer Merritt. He has a good site. He's a good follow, Sawyer Merritt. He does a lot of reporting on X about Tesla and Musk related stuff. But he's got this story that I'm having some trouble believing. So it is true I believe that Zuckerberg is planning enormous building buildouts of computer centers to run his AI stuff. And they're building several multi-gigawatt clusters. They're calling the first one Prometheus and they're building another one called Hyperion. To which I say, I love this idea of giving your data centers awesome names like Hyperion and Prometheus. It's pretty good. Pretty good naming.
Anyway, the reporting says that just one of these buildings that will compute massive computing, that one of them will cover a significant part of the footprint of Manhattan. Now it's not going to be in Manhattan. They're just using Manhattan as a comparison. And I saw a graphic of how big the building would be compared to the entire island of Manhattan and it covers most of it. Now, does that sound true to you? Do you believe that Facebook is right now building multiple data centers for AI? Each one, just one of them would be the size almost of the entire Manhattan Island. Do you believe that? I mean it's in Sawyer Merritt's X feed. So I think he's quite credible, but I would be surprised if that's even possible. It doesn't seem like it's possible.
You're probably aware according to Wired magazine that there are a bunch of AI Nudify websites. Nudify, there are about 85 of them. And what they do is you can take a picture of somebody's face and it will give them a naked body. So AI adds a naked body. And there are 85 of t

hem and they're making millions of dollars. And of course you might be surprised and amazed to learn this. I know this will be quite a surprise, but apparently the Nudify AI websites are quite used by male high school students to bully their classmates. Now that's the most predictable thing you could have ever predicted. Scott, we're thinking of making an AI website that will make any picture of a…
