In this chapter, the speakers share humorous anecdotes from their recent trip to Scotland while addressing deeper societal issues, such as gun violence and political controversies. They discuss President Biden's actions against companies like Shein and Temu, alongside the unsettling normalization of mass shootings in the U.S. The conversation navigates between light-hearted reflections and grave discussions on public safety and the responsibilities of influential figures.
Kara and Scott discuss the apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, and what impact (if any) this will have on the election. Then, Tiktok has its day in court, the Biden administration cracks down on Shein and Temu, and what we're learning about OpenAI's future plans. Our Friend of Pivot is longtime tech journalist Evan Ratliff, who embarked on AI experiment with his new podcast, "Shell Game." Plus, Kara and Scott share some fun stories from the big birthday weekend in Scotland.
