A lot has happened in the first 100 days of Trump's second term. It's nearly too much to keep up with, really, but we're going to try. Verge policy editor Adi Robertson joins Decoder this week to talk through six of the biggest stories and themes we're covering, from tariffs to TikTok to DOGE. Links:  Donald Trump's first 100 days: all the news affecting the tech industry | The Verge The DOGE days have just begun | The Verge America is living in tariff limbo | The Verge MAGA's next wave of influencers saved TikTok | The Verge Whatever happened to the Kids' Online Safety Act? | The Verge Brendan Carr's FCC is an anti-consumer, rights-trampling harassment machine | The Verge Warning systems for floods, hurricanes, and famines are suffering from Trump's data purge | The Verge Why Trump can't be trusted with Congress' new anti-deepfake bill | Decoder How Trump's tariffs actually work on the ground | Decoder The FCC is a weapon in Trump's war on free speech | Decoder Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Today, I'm talking to Verge policy editor Adi Robertson about a bill called the Take It Down Act, which is one in a long line of bills that would make it illegal to distribute non-consensual intimate imagery, or NCII. This is a real and devastating problem on the internet, and AI is just making it worse.  But Adi just wrote a long piece arguing that giving the Trump administration new powers over speech in this way would be a mistake. So in this episode, Adi and I really get into the details of the Take it Down Act, how it might be weaponized, and why we ultimately can't trust anything the Trump administration says about wanting to solve this problem.  Links:  The Take It Down Act isn't a law, it's a weapon | Verge A bill combatting the spread of AI deepfakes just passed the Senate | Verge Welcome to the era of gangster tech regulation | Verge FTC workers are getting terminated | Verge Bluesky deletes AI protest video of Trump sucking Musk's toes | 404 Media Trump supports Take It Down Act so he can silence critics | EFF Scarlett Johansson calls for deepfake ban after AI video goes viral | Verge The FCC is a weapon in Trump's war on free speech | Decoder Trolls have flooded X with graphic Taylor Swift AI fakes | Verge Teen girls confront an epidemic of deepfake nudes in schools | NYT Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Trump and a bunch of billionaires, like Elon Musk, are calling for the FCC to punish TV stations by revoking their licenses and using the spectrum for other stuff. In a normal world, this would be idle billionaire wishcasting. Punishing news organizations is one of those things we have a First Amendment to protect against. You know — the one that protects free speech by prohibiting the government from making speech regulations or punishing people for what they say?   But, it turns out, there is a long and complex history of the government regulating speech on broadcast platforms like radio and television — and that history dovetails into many of the problems we have regulating tech companies and social platforms today. Verge senior tech and policy editor Adi Robertson joins me to dive in.

(All with as little politics-talk as possible.)

Decoder is off this week for a short end-of-summer break. We'll be back with both our interview and explainer episodes after the Labor Day holiday. In the meantime we thought we'd re-share an explainer that's taken on a whole new relevance in the last couple weeks, about deepfakes and misinformation. In February, I talked with Verge policy editor Adi Robertson how the generative AI boom might start fueling a wave of election-related misinformation, especially deepfakes and manipulated media. It's not been quite an apocalyptic AI free-for-all out there. But the election itself took some really unexpected turns in these last couple of months. Now we're heading into the big, noisy home stretch, and use of AI is starting to get really weird — and much more troublesome.  Links:  The AI-generated hell of the 2024 election | The Verge AI deepfakes are cheap, easy, and coming for the 2024 election | Decoder Elon Musk posts deepfake of Kamala Harris that violates X policy | The Verge Donald Trump posts a fake AI-generated Taylor Swift endorsement | The Verge X's Grok now points to government site after misinformation warnings | The Verge Political ads could require AI-generated content disclosures soon | The Verge The Copyright Office calls for a new federal law regulating deepfakes | The Verge How AI companies are reckoning with elections | The Verge The lame AI meme election | Axios Deepfakes' parody loophole | Axios Credits:  Decoder is a production of The Verge and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

The social media platform X recently launched a new artificial intelligence feature for premium users: Grok-2, an AI model that can also generate images. And the outputs are a bit less censored than you might see with other similar tools. Experimenters online have been able to generate images of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris brandishing guns, Mickey Mouse smoking a cigarette and some far more disturbing tableaus. Grok claims to avoid images that are pornographic, excessively violent or intended to deceive and added it’s cautious about representing content that might infringe on existing copyright. But the guardrails certainly seem to be on the looser side, in keeping with owner Elon Musk’s hands-off approach to content moderation. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Adi Robertson, senior tech and policy editor at the Verge, about Grok-2 and what she found while she tested the AI’s limits.

I moderated a panel at the recent AWE conference that took place a couple of weeks ago in Long Beach, California. The panel featured Karl Guttag from KGOnTech, Adi Robertson from the Verve, Jeri Ellsworth from Tilt Five, and Ed Tang from Avegant.The session was titled: Current State and Future Direction of AR Glasses and the session description reads:A panel of experts will discuss the current and future state of AR spatial computing devices, given the influence of the new Vision Pro world. Has the Vision Pro influenced the XR industry to change the direction of the development of consumer-oriented devices? If so, what should those new directions be, and what limitations are there to implement them? The discussion will center upon examining the technical development of spatial computing with light weight glasses and the roles that they should now have.You can find a video version of the session on the AWE Youtube channel, but presented here is an audio version I cleaned up a bit.You can also find the show notes at thearshow.com.Links From The Episode- Panelist: Jeri Ellsworth of Tilt Five- Panelist: Adi Robertson of The Verge- Panelist: Karl Guttag of KGOnTech- Panelist: Ed Tang of Avegant- Breakdown: Karl outlined the panel discussion and added extra detail in a blog post.- Video: AWE PANEL: Current State and Future Direction of AR Glasses

Our new Thursday episodes of Decoder are all about deep dives into big topics in the news, and this week we're continuing our mini-series on one of the biggest topics of all: generative AI. Last week, we took a look at the wave of copyright lawsuits that might eventually grind this whole industry to a halt. Those are basically a coin flip — and the outcomes are off in the distance, as those cases wind their way through the legal system.  A bigger problem right now is that AI systems are really good at making just believable enough fake images and audio — and with tools like OpenAI's new Sora, maybe video soon, too. And of course, it's once again a presidential election year here in the US. So today, Verge policy editor Adi Robertson joins the show to discuss how AI might supercharge disinformation and lies in an election that's already as contentious as any in our lifetimes — and what might be done about it.

Adi Robertson, senior reporter at The Verge, joins Scam Economy with Matt Binder to bring us on the epic journey that is Spice DAO, the decentralized autonomous organization that raised around $12 million in cryptocurrency in order to bid on a rare copy of Alejandro Jodorowsky's "legendary never-made adaptation" of the classic sci-fi novel, Dune (also known as the Dune Bible). We discuss the $3 million winning bid and how it was well over expected sale price, the infamous confusion over copyright between members of the DAO, all the controversies surrounding votes on animated film production and a certain problematic member of the leadership team, and the most recent news where the creator of this whole project, crypto millionaire Soban "Soby" Saqib has decided to dissolve the DAO and...maybe just sell the book.

In a conclusion to the Apple v. Epic Games lawsuit initially filed over a year ago, a California court ruled that Apple must permanently allow developers to include third-party in-app purchase methods, such as links to their own websites, on iOS apps. While the court didn't rule that Apple broke federal monopoly or antitrust law, it did rule that it practiced "anti-competitive behavior" under California law. Epic Games has also since filed an appeal to a higher court, meaning that this legal battle might not be over just yet. This week, Imad is joined by Adi Robertson, senior reporter at The Verge, to break down what exactly the ruling does and doesn't mean for both parties, and who (if anyone) "won" in what they initially set out to do.

In an emergency Vergecast, The Verge's Nilay Patel, Dieter Bohn, Adi Robertson, and Russell Brandom discuss the ruling today in the Epic v. Apple trial. Further reading: Apple must allow other forms of in-app purchases, rules judge in Epic v. Apple Epic v. Apple judge rules Fortnite's Peely can appear naked in court Epic will appeal the Epic v.
