About this episode

Beth discusses a significant Trump tweet related to AI surveillance and its implications, connecting it to Snowden's warnings.

Beth unpacks the Trump tweet that got buried while we bombed Iran — the one where he blacklisted an AI company for refusing to let its technology surveil Americans. She traces the AI beef from Elon's birthday party in 2013 to Snowden's warning playing out in real time, and lands somewhere nobody expected.
