I get it but I bet none of them have a clue about new AI systems.
I think I need a “Small Business Doola”. Does such a person exist?

It looks like Starlink is being blocked in Iran. Starlink receivers use GPS to position. Since Thursday there's been a 30-80% loss in packets being sent by Starlink devices. Mobile jammers may also be to blame. www.timesofisrael.com/iran-appears...
Move government accounts to BS. Encourage population to create accounts and use Sky Follower Bridge to find and follow people you were following on X. Just an idea.

Plenty of investors wanting to jump on the AI bandwagon, that’s who! 🤣
Geez, there are SO MANY Michael Jackson Sora / AI deepfake videos now. I should think his estate must be planning a several billion-dollar law suit.
