This week, with the tech world in chaos over President Trump’s tariffs, we look at how four specific companies are navigating the new day-to-day reality. Then, the A.I. researcher Daniel Kokotajlo returns to the show to discuss a new set of predictions for how artificial intelligence could transform the world in just the next few years and how we avoid the most dystopian outcomes. Finally, we explore whether Meta cheated on an important A.I. benchmark with its new Llama model. Guest:<ul><li>Daniel Kokotajlo, executive director of the AI Futures Project</li></ul> Additional Reading: <ul><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/us/politics/trump-tariff-pause-be-cool.html">Inside Trump’s Reversal on Tariffs: From ‘Be Cool!’ to ‘Getting Yippy’</a></li><li><a href="https://ai-2027.com/">A.I. 2027</a></li><li><a href="https://www.platformer.news/meta-lmarena-benchmark-gaming-rebuke/">Meta Gets Rebuked Over Benchmark Gaming</a></li></ul> We want to hear from you.
