It's much easier for pundits to complain about it, myself included, as one of the people who complains.

Well, you mentioned recent history, Matt.

I think you have a show that is about recent history.

I thought you meant whichever side, like Union or Confederate.

Now, enough about history.

I want to talk about the future.

We have very little time left, but in two minutes, have you guys seen the story about Claude's new AI, which is so good that Anthropic will not allow anyone to use the AI because it could just completely crash our entire global system of data and security?

Isabel, have you looked into this?

All right.

We've got like 30 seconds left, but I know, Matt, you despise AI and you think it's going to destroy all of art and everything.

Our sponsors over at Kalshi have a prediction market on whether or not we're just going to stop AI.

10% of users believe any of the major big tech AI platforms will pause their research out of concern for public safety.

90% of people know that they're just going to keep trying to make money.

the AI companies would say, you know what?

We actually don't want any more money.

We're going to stop this for the common good or whatever.

I'm like a cautious AI bull.

I don't even think it can do many of the things, at least artistically, that people are pretending that it will do.
