Episode notes

Oregon's controversial initiative to decriminalize the “personal use” of drugs was introduced as an effort to curb overdoses, but there have been unforeseen consequences. Ravi and Rikki dive into the first two years of Measure 110 and what we can learn from it.

The backlash against corporate diversity efforts has spiked since SCOTUS’ groundbreaking decision to end affirmative action. As conservative groups challenge corporate America’s policies, the hosts look at the arguments initially used to boost minority representation in the workplace.

An eye-opening study from Gallup says the U.S. is more polarized than ever before. Rikki and Ravi discuss the repercussions of these findings and what everyday people can do about it.

Finally, cybercriminals have built their own language learning models, adapting tools like ChatGPT and Bard to help them commit crimes. What can we do to stop the rise of bad actors using AI?
