Open AI and Meta are developing advanced AI models capable of reasoning, bringing them closer to artificial general intelligence with human-level cognition. Elon Musk predicts AI smarter than any individual by next year, signaling rapid advancement. The concern lies in the speed of AI's development, likened to an evolutionary process from amoeba to T-Rex. The key lies in implementing stringent regulations and fostering international cooperation to mitigate potential risks.
Kara and Scott discuss Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's showstopping appearance at the White House state dinner, David Chang's chili crunch drama, and Meta facing pushback on its political content restrictions. Then, OpenAI prepares to fight numerous legal battles, but do they have a winning strategy? Plus, Paramount Global's proposed merger with Skydance Media is facing opposition from shareholders. Will the deal go through? Finally, our Friend of Pivot is Isaac Arnsdorf, Washington Post national political reporter, and author of "Finish What We Started: The MAGA Movement's Ground War to End Democracy." Isaac explains why Steve Bannon believes the MAGA movement could "rule for a hundred years."
