Ronny Chieng dives into the expanding world of AI: Elon Musk's de-wokified Grok goes Nazi, a Marco Rubio imposter fools government officials, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt appreciates the mediocre world of AI-generated music. Don't worry about Trump's Big Beautiful Bill passing, because Michael Kosta is cracking the code on how you can exploit Medicaid cuts, gambling taxes, and even Alaskan tax breaks to make some sweet dough. Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Lauren Greenfield and Ronny Chieng dive into the effects of social media on teens, which she explores firsthand in her latest docu-series, "Social Studies." She shares how she built up enough trust with the teenage documentary subjects to record their phone activities and how their discussion group highlighted kids' hunger for in-person conversation and connection with their peers. Greenfield also discusses the unique duality of technology as both a "lifeline and a loaded gun" and how parents, companies, and governments need to do more to protect young people from the harms of social media by regulating the algorithm, withholding phones until kids are older, and implementing time limits on apps.
