le to harm themselves, especially minors. And so those are lawsuits too.

So you would have to be enormously rich or well-funded to just survive all the legal challenges. I mean you think about Uber when Uber started. If it had not become somewhat immediately gigantic in terms of funding and value they would not have survived all the legal challenges I think. So that's the biggest challenge to any really successful startup is the legal stuff. Look at all of Tesla's lawsuits. It's just nothing but lawsuits.

I mentioned to you before that when I was in the restaurant business I owned a couple of small restaurants that they became just lawsuit activities. It was just one damn thing after another. And it was all over BS. It was not over anything that you think anybody should have had to sue about but there they were.

All right. So OpenAI apparently released some new paper about why these large language models, the AIs, hallucinate. And the new insight here is that the reason that the AI hallucinates is because it's trained to be rewarded for guessing. So much like if you were taking a test in school and it was multiple choice and there was no penalty for guessing wrong per se, it's just it wasn't right, you would guess on every one. You wouldn't leave it blank. You know you would be rewarded for guessing.

And so in some analogous way it seems that the large language models are rewarded in whatever reward means for AI for guessing. So if they could teach it to know not to guess and instead admit that it doesn't know the answer they could cut down the hallucinating, they think. So we'll see.

I saw a post by Rowan Pelling about that. And OpenAI apparently is going to start working with Broadcom to make its own AI chips. Don't you wonder like I do why is it that chipmaking is so uniquely difficult to compete with? You know why is it that there's for some reason something in Taiwan that we can't do? Because there's nothing else like that, is there? Is it that we don't have the knowhow or is it that maybe there's some kind of patents involved where somebody owns a patent and there's just no way you could make a chip the way they do it legally?

I don't really understand why the United States, even if you make an argument about the US being in decline which I don't think it is, why can't we make chips as easily as some other countries or Taiwan in particular? I don't know. So it feels like maybe there would be something like this is my guess that it will seem like the US is behind in chipmaking until very suddenly it isn't. I think that's what's going to happen. I feel like the US is just going to snatch that dominance back.

Well here's the weirdest news story and I feel like this one might be fake news or lacking some context. So one of my many public services is I try to help you recognize when the news doesn't look like it could possibly be true. This is one of those stories.

So according to multiple sources Speaker Mike Johnson says that Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case. Quote, he was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down. And apparently House Speaker Mike Johnson said that on Friday, so yesterday. And he was speaking to reporters at the Capitol. So it wasn't like he was overheard or he said something accidentally. He said it very intentionally. He was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down.

So that was in
