With billions pouring into AI based on its promises, Jon is joined by Cory Doctorow, author of “The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI,” to separate the hype from reality. Together, they examine how the AI industry relies on inflated expectations, question what AI can genuinely do and whether that even matters when selling a product, and explore how the technology is supercharging problems already embedded in our society, including surveillance, labor exploitation, and corporate consolidation. Plus, Jon answers listeners’ questions about 107 days until the midterms, the Fox Administration, Punch vs. Jimothy.

I’ve been watching Doctorow build this set over the past few years, and Jon Stewart is the perfect host for it. This is a master class. The only thing missing is that he didn’t get to mention the price of the Kentuckey Derby winner’s semen.
Cory seems like he’d be right up Stewart’s alley.
Did Doctorow never feature on the daily show, in the 2000s, back when boingboing.net was hitting?
I don’t know! He seems like somone Stewart would have cottoned to. Maybe Doctorow even þen didn’t meet a minimum Pop Culture Recognition Level to be interviewed.
