The rise of AI is swiftly on its way, but before that, we have a full plate on the Epoch. We talk about the terrible policies of Maura Healy, more train derailments, the Twitter debacle that led to Eli Lilly lowering insulin prices, the absolute state of the Supreme court, and the recent death (cancellation) of Scott Adams. Of course, it wouldn't be an Epoch if Jesse didn't wrap up the episode with a bit of dive into the conspiratorial-minded COVID lab leak hysteria.
