re right there. I think you could feel it. Best thing happened to you all day long so far.

All right. Well, allegedly at exactly now a new version of ChatGPT is being launched, GPT-5. And would you like to be among the first to overclaim that they've achieved super intelligence? I don't think it will have super intelligence. I do think it will hallucinate just like prior models and I feel like it will be overhyped but still awesome. You know, I feel like it'll still beat a bunch of benchmarks, which it is. So apparently it now beats humans on a test that humans score on average 83%. It does better than that. So it's better than humans, but we'll see.

For reasons that I was trying to completely ignore, apparently the WNBA, the women's basketball professional sport, somebody threw a green dildo on the playing surface, which caused other people to do the same in subsequent games. And now it's a big problem. So it turns out if you give people that idea and then you invite 15,000 people to sit in the same building, at least one of them is going to say, "You know what would be a great idea? I've got an idea. It's been done a lot of times, so it won't be original, but I feel like I want to be the one who gets arrested for throwing the dildo during the game." And then somebody does. Apparently there's no way to stop it from now to the end of time. So the good news is it's one more reason to watch women's basketball.

And apparently there's a betting market for the green dildo now to bet whether it appears or doesn't. And there's more money being gambled on the dildo than on the WNBA game itself according to the Post Millennial. To which I say, well, that makes sense. But I will tell you that women's basketball is way more entertaining than I thought. And some of that is because men's basketball has become really kind of boring. Three-point shot. Three-point shot. He's in the paint. He got fouled every single time. Sometimes they call it, sometimes they don't. But he always complains. It's just the same play over and over again. But the women, the women are a little more, I don't know, relaxed with their defense. You just see more stuff happening.

A high school kid has used AI to clone her mother's voice so that the AI can make phone calls to the school to excuse her from classes. Now, the weirdest part about that story is it's the first time I've heard it. Don't you kind of assume that kids all over the country have already used AI voice cloning and they've cloned their parents' voices? Don't you just sort of assume a lot of people have done that? Could it be that what we're really finding out with this story is that one person got caught? Because how would you catch them? If you're the school, you just get a phone call. That's all you know. You don't know anything else. So I don't know. Maybe just one got caught.

Google is going to spend a billion dollars on AI education and job training. So I would start with that. Whoever did the voice cloning, they sound like they could be trained up. Might be good employees someday. And so that's happening. Makes me wonder if the big corporations will have to get into the education business because the public schools are not creating anybody who could go get a job basically, and they're certainly not going to know how to use AI. So could it be that the one and only way we'll ever take advantage of AI is if the AI companies use their vast wealth to run their own schools basically, which they could use AI to do. So probably pretty efficient.

There's a report per the Washington Times that says that DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are vanishing as school board meetings. And that's because of Trump trying to purge DEI. But then they give the numbers and it goes from the school board meetings used to mention DEI 38% of the time, but now it's down to 33%. To which I say, that's really not much of a difference for something that is pure racial discrimination and illegal at a federal level to only go down from 38% frequency down to 33%. To me, that's a lot more like you can't get rid of it no matter what you do. So I think the DEI will stay clawing to the sides of things to try to survive, and it will. And eventually they're going to wait out Trump. You know, Trump doesn't last forever. And I feel like unless you put people in jail for DEI, it will just revive itself because the incentives for that are pretty high. They'll get rewarded locally but not federally.

Speaking of which, I don't know, is any of the DEI stuff literally illegal or is it all civil kind of stuff? It's not a criminal act, right? It would be a civil violation. I don't even know what I'm talking about. But you couldn't put somebody in jail for pretending that they got rid of DEI at their public school but secretly just changing what you call it. I don't know. Is that actually a criminal act or not? I don't know. It should be criminal. In my opinion, that should be criminal.

But anyway, a federal appeals court according to the College Fix has upheld an Arkansas ban on critical race theory, the so-called CRT. So critical race theory in the classroom tells people that white men mostly are the problem and white men stole all your stuff and turned you into slaves. So you should go to white men to get back all your stuff and you should punish them for it. Basically, I'm summarizing a little bit. But the good news is that the federal appeals court agreed with Arkansas that they can just get rid of that racist nonsense. Again, won't it just come back? Seems like it'll just come back. So I don't know. People got to go to jail.

Apple has now upped its investment plans for the US up to $600 billion over what period of time? I don't know. So that makes it much less impressive if you realize it's over many years. But their stock is going up and I guess they've committed to building a factory in the US where they make the glass for the iPhone. And I don't know if you saw it, but there was a very cringy point where Tim Cook of Apple was trying to give Trump an award, which was a piece of glass. That's a special kind of glass they're going to make in this new facility. And it has a little gold stand. And it was very, very unimpressive as a gift. It was just a piece of glass and a stand. And I get that it was cool glass, but it was a little bit more of an Apple employee of the month gift than it was a gift for the president when you're announcing $600 billion of investments. And then he had a little awkward setting it up. Anyway, it was sort of cringy, but so this actually happened.

So Trump is thanking Tim Cook who has now done mostly what Trump wants, which is bringing massive investment into the US. And so he's happy with Tim Cook. And at the end of the meeting, Trump says in public, he says this: "I want to thank Tim Cook. He's a great, great man, a visionary, a businessman, just about every quality he can have other than athleticism. I'm looking at him. I'm not 100% sure." Okay. Is that the funniest thing that Trump has ever said? I'm just going to read it again. And I'll remind you this is something he really said. He actually said this in public about Tim Cook after Tim Cook had done everything he wanted.

"I want to thank Tim Cook. He's a great, great man, a visionary, a businessman. Just about every quality he can have other than athleticism. I'm looking at him. I'm not 100% sure."

Oh, come on. That is literally the funniest thing he has ever said. He's sort of an unintentional bully that it doesn't matter what somebody does, if he can find your weak point, he's going to put his finger on it.

Elon Musk reminds us, if he didn't already know, there will be no code writing in the future. You'll just say what you want and he gave an example: build me a fitness tracker with push notifications and it will just build it. You won't have to know what language it used or anything. And Elon says syntax is dead. Abstraction won. Your job title is about to change from engineer to idea whisperer.

Now, I would agree that the engineering profession is going to take a hit because logic and all the things that engineers know, it does feel like the kind of stuff that AI could do a lot of it. It does seem like the one place that AI doesn't know how to get better is in creativity. So the part that will have value is the part where you know what to tell it to make that would be valuable and that's it. And AI really can't do that so well. I mean it could iterate but it'd have to test it. Whereas a human, if you got the right humans, there's some humans who can guess what kind of product people would want.

There's a friend of mine who years ago started a company for some auto parts, you know, little add-ons to your car. And he had an ability to know what other car enthusiasts would want to buy. Just this uncanny ability to say, you know, if we made this, I'll bet a lot of people would buy it. You know, things that you and I maybe would never even have thought of. For example, how many of you have ever seen on a car that someone has upgraded the gas cap to a silver cool-looking gas cap? Have you ever seen that? Usually on trucks. That was my friend. He invented that. Nobody had ever done that before. And he built a company and made that part and sold it. And eventually he got knocked off by the Chinese. So there's lots of competition and he's out of that business. But one after another he simply said, "Hm, you know what people would buy," and then he made it in his own machine shop and then he sold it and he became quite rich.

So yeah I think knowing what to tell AI to do is where all the money will be and just there's some people who know how to do that and some don't.

All right. So I saw that apparently this story about the Republicans in Texas wanting to redistrict is getting deeper and more interesting than I thought. So it seems, and I mentioned this yesterday, that if the Democrats decide to retaliate, say, "All right, we'll do California if you do Texas." And then, I guess the Republicans would say, "Oh, yeah. Well, we'll do Florida." And then they would do New York. But apparently if you follow that through, you would find that Republicans would likely come out way ahead. So there's a possibility that if the Democrats decide to go toe to toe and if you do this, we'll do it too, that they'll end up way behind. And the worst thing they could do is to legitimize all this new redistricting by doing it themselves because they would just apparently the numbers work out that they would lose seats in the end. And the number of seats they lose could be a lot. Could be as many as like 15 seats in 2026.

But it gets worse because there's this thing called some kind of voting act that's being decided on by the courts. And the idea is that some of the districts were made based on racial composition. And I think the Supreme Court is going to say, "Hey, you can't do that. You can't say we'll make this a district because it's got all the Hispanics in it and they'll vote a certain way." So if that goes away, the advantage for the Republicans would double from 15 to something in the high 20s. So almost anything is possible with this story. It could complet
