Like so many others, we’re still reeling from the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. To open the show, we talk with Adi Robertson about how videos of the incident moved around social platforms, how even well-intentioned people got confused by AI imagery, and what we’ve learned about the state of misinformation.

The way I've come to understand the United States Department of Justice under Donald Trump and Pam Bondi is that it's a hype house. They make content together all day long. And that is their purpose. >> But they all do kind of guest star in each other's things. >> Yeah. They're all they're all in each other's videos. They're doing collabs, >> right? They there's phrases. They're clearly marketing products. They're just running a slightly worse business than like Logan Paul invented many many years ago. I'm ...

If you make true AR glasses that are AI enabled, that can see the world around you and provide useful information in your line of sight. Obviously, number one. >> Okay.>> I do not believe that product will exist in any time scale that we live in. >> I think that's right. But I I do agree that even for for perspective reasons alone, the the idea that it can see what I see makes glasses more powerful than any of these other things >> and it can layer digital information over the real world.>> Yeah. >> Fine.

With this weekend's big winter storm, you might hear people say things like, "I thought the planet was warming. What about climate change?" Climate change is not just about extreme heat.>> Climate change is an increase in the baseline temperatures, but it's also an increase in extremes from both ways. >> For example, the Arctic is warming even faster than the rest of the planet.
