  • The Right (And Wrong) Ways to Fight Trump

    The Right (And Wrong) Ways to Fight Trump
    Apr 24 2025

    This week, Nate and Maria talk about the Trump administration’s deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia without due process. The stakes are high–but immigration is a stronger issue for Trump in the court of public opinion than tariffs were. Picking a fight with Harvard may also be good politics for the administration. So: how should Democrats, and other anti-Trump forces, respond?

    Further Reading:

    What if There’s No Way to Stop Trump’s Approach to Power? from Ross Douthat at the New York Times

  • Will AI Radically Change the World by 2027?

    Will AI Radically Change the World by 2027?
    Apr 17 2025

    This week, Nate and Maria discuss AI 2027, a new report from the AI Futures Project that lays out some pretty doom-y scenarios for our near-term AI future. They talk about how likely humans are to be misled by rogue AI, and whether current conflicts between the US and China will affect the way this all unfolds. Plus, Nate talks about the feedback he gave the AI 2027 writers after reading an early draft of their forecast, and reveals what he sees as the report’s central flaw.
