Ariel and Producer Josh discuss Karen Hao’s book Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI, a chronicle of tech’s current AI fervor and everything left in its wake. Along the way, everything AI tumbles out: Trump banning “woke AI,” whether this AI boom is just a financial illusion or a catastrophic arms race, and the problems for which AI solutions would be actually useful. In Falcon Mode, we explore ways to filter out AI search results.
