on might drive more political violence. Where do people think it comes from? If it doesn't come from online, what do you think it came from, your neighbor? Did your neighbor get you all worked up to do some political violence? What would it be except for online? That's the only thing that gets us worked up about anything. So yeah, Rasmussen, I believe your poll is correct, if not low. Should have been 100%.

Here's another one. Let's see if you knew the answer to this one. Eric Dolan in the NY Post is writing about a new study that tries to determine why lesbian couples face a higher divorce risk. Okay. Now the funny part about this topic is that it's literally a famous comedy routine about why lesbians have more divorces. But they looked into things like cohabitation length, prior children, and shared children, and they found out that those were not really very indicative. So they're not really predictive. So now their conclusion is that it's a mystery why lesbians have the highest divorce rate. They couldn't figure out what the source problem was.

It's literally a comedy routine that everybody in the world understands. So if you put two women together, because women are usually the ones who initiate divorces, if you put the gender together that generally initiates the divorce, you get more divorces. I think they could have just asked me. I think they could have asked you too. Nope. But whatever you do, don't say women are the problem.

All right. Here's another one from the NY Post. They did a study to find out that your social status has a surprising influence on your biological stress responses. That the lower your perceived status, the more likely you'll be stressed out because you can't change anything.

Well, I can tell you that I had the experience of having no status, as you do when you're a child, and then I went to having no status as a young adult in my twenties and into my thirties, no real status at all. But then Dilbert hit and I became a minor celebrity and I got some status. I gotta tell you that having success and associated status solves most of your stress. I guarantee you that if you ever hit it big and you become either well-known and/or rich or both, it will make you more relaxed. Once you're famous you can walk into any situation with no stress whatsoever because people come to you.

Let me give you just the cleanest example. I get super stressed if I'm late for something. You probably have that too, right? Like if there's a meeting and you know people are already in the room. Oh, that's the worst. If they're already in the room and you're on the road, you got caught up in traffic. That's really stressful.

So before I had status, if I were late I would think, oh God, people are going to hate me more. My status, you know, I'll be creeping into the meeting late and it would bother me. Once I became famous, a weird thing happened. If I showed up late, the people who were already there would apologize for being early or some variation of that. In other words, they would never get on me because they usually needed me to approve something or wanted to work with me or something. So I would go from the thing that bothered me the most, being potentially late, to no problem at all. It just disappears.

So yes, the higher your status, it seems like it would be more work and more pressure. In some ways it is, but the benefits are just way better than the costs.

Well, according to Cell Press, AI was used to write nearly a quarter of corporate press releases in 2024. Now I have been involved with many, many press releases. And let me tell you how press releases are written. Whoever's in charge of whatever entity is supposed to do the press release, they look for the lowest-ranked person in the office who can speak the language and then they say, write us up a press release and make sure that it's the most boring, looks like it came out of a form factory or something. And whatever you do, don't make it interesting 'cause that's the last thing you want to do.

So here's what I know that any of you who have been involved with a lot of press releases can confirm. A press release always looked like AI wrote it. It always looked like AI wrote it. So to me it seems like the most natural thing that you would replace with AI 'cause it's not going to get worse. I mean, press releases are just deadly boring. And they're always, like I said, the first draft is always written by the worst writer in the office. I hate to say it, first draft is always the worst writer. And then it gets to the boss and the boss doesn't want to rewrite the whole thing so they just check the spelling or something. And then it gets to me. Let's say the press release is about me and I just don't give a shit because I know nobody reads a press release. So I have approved I can't tell you how many press releases about me that I've approved from publishers etc. that I didn't even read because it doesn't matter. Nobody else is going to read it either. It's the most unread document that will ever be created. So yeah, a quarter of them going to AI makes sense to me.

OpenAI now has a Sora 2 app that can generate realistic videos of people doing things. And it's OpenAI and they decided to model the new ability by showing a realis
