In This Episode
Trump dismisses the AI CEOs at Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI who are calling for a “global slowdown” of AI development, saying the only government regulation the industry needs is a “high IQ” president.
Jon, Tommy, and Lovett break down the “sick conspiracy” claim the administration and tech investors have leveled at AI makers, the recent developments that united Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk, and the chances that meaningful AI regulation could pass before the election or in a lame-duck Congress.
Then they turn to AI’s impact on the 2028 presidential election, a Russian oligarch’s unusual involvement in Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding festivities, and the worst Republicans on and off the ballot in Texas. Then, Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, stops by the studio to talk to Jon about her new book, “How to Eat an Elephant.”
