About this episode

Kara and her guests discuss Mark Zuckerberg's AI manifesto and the ongoing competition in the AI landscape.

As Scott-Free August rolls on, Kara is joined by "Hard Fork" co-hosts Kevin Roose and Casey Newton to break down Mark Zuckerberg’s latest AI manifesto, and Meta’s push to catch up in the AI race. Then, platforms crack down on AI slop, new details emerge about OpenAI’s hockey puck-sized device, and data center backlash intensifies. Plus, Kevin and Casey discuss their post-"Hard Fork" future, and have a special request for Kara.
