AI Debate - Gates vs. Huang; France; Wars; Nationalists; More | Yaron Brook Show

Watch Now: https://youtube.com/live/TG_A3NOP6qE?feature=share
Jensen Huang says AI is about to make humanity richer than it's ever been. Bill Gates says we should regulate it like a loaded gun. They can't both be right β so which billionaire actually understands what reason and capitalism built?
Bill Gates wants AI regulated like a chemical plant. Jensen Huang wants to build as fast as physics allows. Yaron Brook breaks down why this isn't a fight about technology β it's a fight about whether risk-aversion or achievement should run the 21st century, and why Gates' Microsoft could never have survived the rules he now wants to impose on everyone else.
Then: France's municipal elections just handed nationalists dozens more cities and nobody has an answer for them β because the "opposition" is just a different flavor of collectivism. Yaron explains why the real fight in the West isn't left versus right anymore, it's individualism versus every collectivist alternative on offer.
Plus: the wars nobody's finishing, why "nationalist" has become a badge of honor on both continents, and the AMA where Yaron takes your toughest questions live.
π΄ Live audience Q&A included β Yaron takes on your questions about AI regulation, French politics, war strategy, and the rise of the new nationalist right, unscripted.
