As the threats posed by AI models continue to grow, AI oligarchs struggle to explain the upsides of their technology. Jon Stewart breaks down the latest tech headlines, including Trump’s refusal to regulate AI and CEOs’ awkward attempts to make human annihilation seem less scary (at least Grok can make funny videos!).
