wrong. And my skepticism goes like this. If it were possible that in one year we would see robots learning by watching somebody iron a shirt and then the robot can do it, you would already see that. If that were going to be on the open market in less than a year, you'd see the demonstrations today. But we don't. So I have to conclude that they don't know how to do that. Will they be able to do it…

There are still some of the really early ones like from the '60s where he slaps his girlfriend in the face. You would never see that today. Something tells me they're going to

edit that out too. Yeah. And all of his wild womanizing. Maybe they'll get rid of that too. But here's the good news. James Bond so far is still a white man. Still a white man. I'm pretty sure they're gonna use their AI to replace him with a black woman any day now, but at the moment still a white man. Well, Bad Bunny, the artist Bad Bunny, as you know, has been selected to do the halftime show a…
