at my mom's house and it's late at night.
And I just saw on social media, I saw this little short video of like drone footage of water gushing through the dam.
And then I go, oh, my God, the dam has been blown.
And I was like, eh, has it?
Because it's not on the BBC.
It's not on CNN.
It's not on Reuters.
It's not in the news.
And, you know, I said, like, this could be fake for all we know.
And then somebody goes, oh, no, look, look, you can see the water flowing.
Like, you can't do that with Aon.
I'm like, well.
I mean, this is a few years ago.
By today, I think everybody will go, well, of course you can fake water flow with AI.
Anyway, as it turned out, I didn't believe it until the next morning.
And then I got up and it was in all the news everywhere because journalists had checked it and da, da, da, da.
And I'm like, yeah, okay.
I'm proud of myself in this case.
I didn't jump to a conclusion.
Turns out it was true, but I was waiting to check.
