Episode description as stored

As the threats posed by AI models continue to grow, AI oligarchs struggle to explain the upsides of their technology. Jon Stewart breaks down the latest tech headlines, including Trump’s refusal to regulate AI and CEOs’ awkward attempts to make human annihilation seem less scary (at least Grok can make funny videos!). Plus, Jon chats with Meta’s totally cute and totally not-sinister Muse AI agent, who makes him feel WAY better about the situation. Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher who spoke out about the dangers of artificial intelligence, opens up to Jon about the grim reality of the tech industry— from malicious hacks to potential biological attacks. The two discuss the future, AI-led utopia that tech companies are trying to sell us, the megalomania and riskiness that underlies the industry, and the terrifying capabilities Coxon witnessed while training AI models at Anthropic and OpenAI. --Go to https://Quince.com/dailyshow for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. --https://homeserve.com/tds -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
