tration just this year in one year. And that would be a 12 and a half percent decrease in the federal workforce since January. You know what? That impresses me. Now, I suppose we'll hear about all kinds of stories of, oh, if we hadn't decreased this workforce, this would not have gone wrong. But a 12 and a half percent decrease in government workforce in six months. If we actually get that, it's not what we have yet, but it looks like what could happen. That'd be pretty impressive, I'd have to say.

Sam Altman of OpenAI agrees that AI might be in a bubble. Not necessarily his company, but there are a lot of startups that are getting ridiculous valuations. So he thinks AI is in a bubble. I agree. It's definitely in a bubble. I think two things can be true. That it will be the biggest thing ever and there's a lot of startups that are still going to fail. So there's a bubbish quality to it, but it's based on some real stuff.

According to new research, red meat in a healthy diet could benefit your brain. I think this is all part of the understanding that your gut health is directly related to your brain health, your mental health, and your brain function. So again, I would throw this in the category of why would you believe anything that science says about nutrition? Science has been wrong about nutrition every day I've been alive. It's the wrongest science ever about anything. So yeah, I mean, there's a study. And I'm tempted to eat a steak today to see if I feel any different. But just so you know, there's some people who think steak's good for you. I'm sure there are people who would say it's not, and that will probably change back and forth forever.

Well, there's a social media company called Gab, which I believe is sort of like an X clone, right? It's a messaging kind of thing. And they're a little more controversial. So they have more users who are provocative, let's say. And their payment processor just cut them off. Now, I'll tell you, I feel like I would like a list of all the banks and payment processors who have cut off people because they didn't like what they were saying because the rest of us need to cut off those banks and payment processors. Assuming that there's competition in those areas, I'd love to know who did it so that we could do it back to them.

Well, in Oakbrook, Illinois, police now have a fully autonomous drone. So apparently they have a drone that sits on the police department building and they can activate it to go check on a crime scene before the humans on the ground can get there. And most of the time it would be able to get there before the humans could. So at least you'd have some witness, maybe you could break up a fight or something if they thought they were being filmed. I don't know. But to me, this is a great idea. It seems to me that there should be police drones in the sky or nearby everything. I kind of like that idea. I know it's going to feel like a violation of privacy and blah blah blah, but that's already gone. You lost your privacy a long time ago.

Well, I saw a post on X that's been fascinating me all morning. You've heard about people who don't have an internal monologue, right? So they don't hear voice in full sentences in their head. Now, I do and always have. I don't know what the percentage breakdown is, but to me, there's just like a demon in my head who's talking to me all the time. I don't think of it as a demon. I think of it as myself. But apparently some people don't have that. But on top of that, there are people who don't imagine things visually. And I don't even know how you could live like that. How many of you do not have a visual imagination? So in my case, I can produce an entire movie just like a Netflix film and run it in my imagination. I don't even have to close my eyes. I can see every part of it. I can see all the detail. I can move the camera angle around so I can see the movie from any angle and I can replay it and change the dialogue and just change the movie. Now, can any of you not do that? Is there anybody here who can't produce a full motion picture in their head and then just watch it? It makes me wonder how much of it is practice related and how much is natural. I feel like it's always been the same for me, but I also practice it every day because a
