terrifying. i think they re terrifying. i think that when i saw these, i know they re fake. they have fake written all over them. but still, i had a visceral reaction to seeing them. there s something about seeing a former president. let me put up another one. here s another one. this is a this one is about donald trump. it shows him in the middle of a police. fake donald trump, of course, the middle of a police from his falling to the ground and gideon just seeing a former president. in this situation. i sort of viscerally felt sick, and i know it s fake. well this is you know, this is the latest issue of mid journey which is one of these ai image generators. my journey five and it is just leaps and bounds better than the ones that we have been seeing before. and so even though there are lots of ways in which if you look closely, you can spot that these images are fake. it s still the you know the training on trump s face. the ai does that well enough and expressions in the
walking away, that he saw that the president had lost his ever loving mind and was clael going to try and go down this path. and bill barr didn t want to be a part of it. and the people we left behind, donoghue and others didn t want to be a part of it. thank goodness that didn t come to pass. i think what s really important to remember about this case as we contemplate this indictment by jack smith, you know, the complicated part of this is not whether jack smith can make his case but it becomes a little more complicated and i think andrew would back me up here is how strong would donald trump s defense be, and that was he had a reasonable belief there was fraud in the election. and so you re going to have dueling witnesses depending on how immunity comes down which is a whole other topic we could spend an hour on. depending on who s called upon
they were pretty smart, pretty young. this is no fluke. how they re sustaining power over the years. yes and it s also fun to remember that they were broke. yeah best friends and you know they had this hard, bad, hardscrabble past, but they certainly didn t. it wasn t handed to them. it s fun to hear about that. this would my friends would have gotten such a raw end of the deal if i had shared a banking account with them. i mean, i just i was always broke and i would have and i needed you know, gas, money and money for food, and i would have just helped myself. thank goodness they didn t let me have part of their bank account. i remember going to my back in college and being upset that the hmm. wouldn t give me less than $5. that was the lowest you could take out and i was like, i m gonna squander that. i need just $1 from my bank. yeah. so now we have venmo. it makes it way too easy. to pass around money around money. yeah. dangerous yes. all right. so uh, good for those guys. all rig
when we study security systems are safety systems that you want to avoid the single point of failure, right? if you got one pilot, you ve got one single point of failure. and so it s just the most ridiculous thing to how much does it cost to have a second copilot on it to make any movement to not have a redundancy on the one thing thinking about it? it s hard to imagine that some of these planes are you know, some of them as we, as we ve been reporting can be flown by themselves, but it is it is. it s the most absurd, um, action to take because the it s an on off switch if the plane doesn t fly very unlikely. people survive it. or that you would have the luck of having a passenger who has a pilot s license. so this but i, but the bigger issue is the system. the system is telling us something from these near misses, and it s good that we are now starting to pay attention. these are not like oh, thank goodness that didn t happen. this is the system is under stress.
slightly different than maybe other people see who didn t grow up with instagram and facebook, but we have to also acknowledge there s no way that they can sell it off. the chinese government has veto power over it is happening. i mean, i think whether the whether the specific whether it should happen because we have all these other variables to consider whether it s just like other social media. it s happening. the politics have now aligned that for a variety of reasons, including let s just be clear like other social media companies lobbying for tiktok to be banned in the united states because of the competition. we it is it is going to happen, and so we have to prepare for okay, well, what other platforms me? t shirt is going to be banned. politics are uh, foreign policy . diplomatic decisions are often made based on a threat. and a lot of other stuff, and that and for whatever reason, the bullseye has landed on tiktok of all the issues that we have with china and my up late at nigh
