Now, I live in the U.S.
and the U.S.
government at the beginning of what, last year, mid last year, made a big announcement how they were going to revitalize all these departments using AI.
Elon Musk came in with Doge to try to do that.
I don't know if U.S.
Customs and Immigration Services is using AI to process applications.
May they in the future.
It's just so wild that like governments might be using these tools to process applications and then applicants are using the tools to generate the applications.
What is even real anymore, Carmi?
I don't even know.
Okay, let's move to our next story.
It involves travel.
One of my biggest fears is I'll be in the cabin of the plane and somebody's sketchy device.
Maybe it's like a battery charger.
Maybe they stuffed one of those, not scooters, but like hoverboard things into their backpack with a lithium ion battery.
And it's a poorly made battery.
And it explodes and fills the plane with toxic smoke.
I know this has happened.
The planes usually land or don't take off.
And the only issue is people coughing.
