Episode Description


A former Anthropic safety researcher put the odds of AI wiping out humanity in the next ten years at 10%. Days later Anthropic announced a model too good at hacking to release, half the industry begged Washington to regulate them, and Trump said the only regulation we need is a president with a high IQ.
Adam Conner, VP of technology policy at the Center for American Progress, gives us his own read on that number and explains why the damage short of extinction is the part nobody's planning for. Also: how Trump quietly made himself the man who decides which AI models get released, what happens to the economy when the bubble pops, and the campaign plank we're stealing on air. Robots will not fire you.
