About this episode

Kara and Scott discuss recent legal issues faced by Meta and YouTube, market reactions to Iran's statements, and the shutdown of OpenAI's Sora.

Kara and Scott unpack the Trump administration stacking an AI council with Big Tech names, the market-moving chaos around shifting Iran statements, and surprising Democratic wins in Florida — including in Trump’s own backyard. Then, the TSA mess continues, Meta and YouTube are found liable in landmark social media addiction cases, and OpenAI calls it quits on Sora, just as Scott predicted.
