se there's so much of a problem with hallucinations. Can you imagine a customer service rep being AI and then just hallucinating every time the customer asks it a question and the customer would just get more and more mad? You can't have a customer service rep with this form of AI. And we've not invented another form. There's only one form of AI as far as I know. I mean one that you could use in…

I didn't see the original story but I saw a post by Dr. Interracial who's a real good follower. Dr. Interracial. He's in an interracial marriage and has lots of insights from that. But apparently the thing that people thought was outrageous, somebody putting handcuffs on a toddler, there was somebody putting handcuffs on a toddler. His father, when they played cops and robbers. It was literally his father playing cops and robbers and the kid was enjoying every minute of it. He's like, you know, give me your hands. And he handcuffs him.

So there's that.
I guess the Trump administration is looking into whether the so-called furloughed federal workers, the ones who are not working because of the shutdown, are going to be guaranteed back pay. Apparently there's an argument that they shouldn't be. Now I don't know if that applies to everybody who's furloughed but for some of them it looks like the Trump people want to make

it optional so that they don't necessarily get back pay. That doesn't feel like a good idea, does it? Like how could you win politically by cutting a little bit on the budget but doing it on the backs of the people who had nothing to do with the shutdown? You don't punish the people who had nothing to do with the shutdown. So I don't know if they're just floating this idea and it won't happen but…
