Listen "The AI Argument - E44 - The Valentine Edition - Justin's bromance with JD Vance"
Episode Synopsis
JD Vance thinks AI won’t replace workers. That’s not just wrong—it’s the kind of wrong that makes you question everything else he said. In his speech at the Paris AI summit, he insisted the US will innovate, not regulate, as if those two things are mortal enemies. Justin’s smitten—he thinks Vance is cutting through the fear-mongering. Frank, on the other hand, is questioning the man’s grip on reality. If Vance can be this clueless about AI and jobs, why should we trust him about regulation?Meanwhile, Elon Musk is out here playing billionaire mind games, offering to buy OpenAI just as Sam Altman tries to take it private. Is this a serious bid or just Musk being Musk? Speaking of OpenAI, their new “Magic Unified Intelligence” promises to pick the best model for users—but is it picking the best model for you or for OpenAI’s bank account? Frank’s got opinions, and for once Justin’s mostly agreeing with him.
