Episode Details

A single backroom phone call between Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, David Sacks and President Trump just killed the one executive order that could have put guardrails on the most dangerous AI models ever built. No public debate. No congressional vote. The people with the most to gain financially made the call and America is now racing into an AI future with zero oversight.

Lance Wallnau and Mercedes Sparks break down exactly what was in that executive order, why Anthropic's Mythos model triggered the whole conversation, and what it means that the same AI systems capable of taking down power grids and banking infrastructure are now completely unregulated. Lance and Mercedes also unpack the uncomfortable truth that every person who talked Trump out of signing is financially incentivized to keep government out of the AI space entirely. This is not a left versus right issue. This is a power versus everyone else issue.
