Chris Hayes
Chris Hayes promotes the podcast series The AI End Game: Power, Profit, and Progress, arguing that artificial intelligence is more likely to resemble earlier transformative technologies than cause human extinction. He calls for democratic regulation, warns that white-collar job loss could destabilize politics and describes local resistance to data centers. Hayes also portrays Donald Trump’s ballroom fixation as a refuge from governing and mortality.
Meg Stalter
Meg Stalter discusses the fifth and final season of Hacks while performing an extended bit about abandoning acting for music, wearing an outfit suspiciously similar to Madonna’s and launching a fictional album with hundreds of collaborators. She also claims she organized her own look-alike contest, only to lose to a pug, and repeatedly reverses her supposed retirement whenever an acting offer is mentioned.
