EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Kara and Scott unpack Nvidia’s record stock buyback and its new guardrails for rogue AI. Then, they break down Big Tech’s prime seats at the state dinner, and the privacy concerns surrounding VoteSafe.org, a voting-information site run by Elon Musk’s America PAC. Plus, the GOP’s midterm outlook is reportedly “craptastic,” but Scott is still nervous — and Kara gets a kick out of SNL’s “Dario Amodei.” Kara and Scott are going on tour!
