I genuinely appreciate the way Rush fans are like, “Oh no, they're terrible. It's going to be a terrible concert. Geddy Lee may or may not be alive. I am so excited to see them.” ➛
This is early days but super interesting. It's good to see something focused on building instead of just a bot rambling.

Jason Goldman: From VC Pitches to AI Kill Switches
How can we get politicians and Silicon Valley on the same AI page? On this week’s episode, Paul and Rich welcome on Jason Goldman, whose long career in tech has taken him from Blogger to Twitter to the Obama administration to his current endeavor, the Center for Shared AI Prosperity. “AI capabilities are advancing faster than the political system is responding,” CSAIP’s website reads; Jason explains the challenges around and different approaches to redressing this gap. Plus: as the host of the movie podcast Escape Hatch, Jason ranks his expectations for the fall tech industry films, and makes a big prediction about Dune: Part Three.

The caption reads "This piece is so sweet and it was designed to hold eggs." While the video does not directly address it, it is reasonable to assume that this is how new Julianne Moores are incubated.
Most New York City moment of my entire life happened yesterday. I was sitting on a bench outside of WNYC to kill time before going up and a truck driver and a couple on the sidewalk had an argument about whether they’d just seen Lenny Kravitz. ➛

Katie Notopoulos: There Are Still LOLs on the Internet
How is AI reshaping internet culture? On this week’s episode, Paul is joined by a journalist who has truly looked into the digital abyss: Business Insider’s Katie Notopoulos. Using a few recent AI-related stories Katie reported as a lens, they discuss the increasingly blurry boundaries between the real and the artificial on our social feeds. Katie is known for, among other things, her lists of the worst things on the internet; with AI, Paul asks, has “worst” somehow gotten “even worser”? Plus: In a classic reporter move, Katie flips the script and quizzes Paul about his 2014 essay on YouTube, “The American Room.”
