AI companies sold us the future. What happens if they can’t deliver and taxpayers get stuck with the bill?

This week, we get into OpenAI, Anthropic, massive AI valuations, and why we think the sudden push to slow things down deserves a closer look. Is this really about safety, or protecting their businesses before the money runs out?

We also discuss the backlash against the Lindsay Clancy holdout juror, the Houthis and rising energy costs, James Talarico, the Epstein files, and JD Vance’s problem with being tied to Trump. Plus, the CLARITY Act debate raises another question: why are politicians who barely understand technology deciding its future?

Then we get into Catholicism’s appeal to younger generations, the GTA 6 Online release rumors, new Apple gear, and our weekly peptide and weight-loss updates.

Do you think AI will deliver what these companies promised, or are we watching the setup for another bailout? Let us know in the comments.
