Trump Is Imploding—We Need to CRUSH Him! Plus: Can We Trust AI Tycoons? | Bulwark Podcast

AI poses real existential threats. The global economy is dependent on it, it's being deployed in war zones and used for domestic surveillance, and it's increasingly integrated into our medical and financial sectors. But the guy sitting atop the world's biggest AI company, Sam Altman, is regarded by some colleagues as a liar, driven by a quest for power, and someone with sociopathic tendencies. When Biden was in the White House, Altman was worried about the limited regulation of AI; under Trump, he's loving that the shackles have come off. Plus, Tim on how the Dems need to get the politics of the Iran war right: Welcome converts into the fold, and prioritize American interests.

Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz join Tim Miller to discuss their New Yorker piece on Sam Altman.
