ds. Now, do you think that you could prosecute the governor or that if you looked into it, you would find evidence so you could because there's no way to believe that he was unaware? Well, here's the weird thing. Governor Walz does not have obvious signs of wealth, does he? Does it look like he made millions of dollars?

on all these things than you and I have. So when he says prosecute Tim Walz, some of that might be that it seems obvious that he couldn't have not known. Some of it might be that Tim Walz has tried to prosecute Elon Musk and tried to destroy his companies. Tried really hard to destroy his companies and he did it publicly that you're just seeing an obvious kind of response to that.

Now, I'm not sure that's what's happening, but it sure looks like it, doesn't it? It looks a little steely.

Anyway, apparently over in China, according to Interesting Engineering, China did some kind of demonstration with robots and hackers and found that one hacked robot could infect other robots just by being near it. So one rob

ot could, if it had been hacked into doing something evil, could co-opt another robot without using the internet. Because the thing we worried about is if all the robots are on the internet, somebody would hack them all or the bad robot would have access to the other robots and they all go. But it would make this awesome movie whe
