On today's episode of The Blindspot, I start by talking about the death of Pope Francis, and then note that Presidents Trump and Zelenski met at St. Peter’s Basilica before the funeral, which leads me into a broader conversation about Zelenski’s fashion choices and the state of the Russia-Ukraine war. From there, I get into the American economy after a series of highly unorthodox moves by Trump, and how he's placed a massive bet that will rise or fall on economic results. I point out how Trump's actions on both Ukraine and the economy don’t even make sense by the standards of their own stated logic. Then I move into how the Democrats are bungling their messaging around Kilmar Garcia, before closing with a brief lament about the Israel-Gaza situation. Enjoy!

The gap between what AI can’t do and what it can do is closing fast. Half the code out there isn’t even written by people anymore. Half the images aren't drawn by people. You can talk to a machine now—and it talks back. Ten years ago that was science fiction. Now it’s just a Tuesday. It’s getting easier to make all sorts of things, and the world is getting stranger.

On this episode of The Blindspot, I’m talking about what it’s like to actually live with generative AI—mostly through the lens of ChatGPT. I get into how I’ve used it, why I somehow am no more productive, despite using it constantly, and why it’s so damn hard to tell anyone else how to use it well but also why it's worth telling them to try.

A man named Kilmar Garcia was deported—illegally. The Supreme Court ordered him returned. The Trump administration said no. In this episode of The Blind Spot, I break down why that refusal matters more than the man himself. It’s not about immigration. It’s about a presidency testing the limits of power by picking targets no one will defend. If you think the rule of law is just a talking point, this episode is your wake-up call.
