It's Monday, and we've got two great guests lined up. But first, we watch Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) recount his gut-wrenching visit to what he calls the "Alligator Auschwitz." Then we're joined by Wesley Cheek, assistant professor at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, to discuss the deep-rooted corruption and dysfunction within FEMA. Later, Chris Geidner of Law Dork returns to break down the latest Supreme Court rulings—and the nine-mile stare worn by everyone seriously covering this administration. In the Fun Half We kick things off with possibly the least fun person alive, Tom Homan, as he backpedals on what qualifies as "reasonable suspicion. In Hakeem Jeffries' interview with Punchbowl News, he appears to spread the false claim that Zohran Mamdani called to "Globalize the Intifada." We revisit the Bulwark episode where the smear originated—and confirm Mamdani never said any such thing. Also, so what if he did? All that, plus your IMs and a whole lot more.

This Day in Legal History: Butler Act Passes in TennesseeOn March 13, 1925, the Tennessee General Assembly passed the Butler Act, a law prohibiting public school teachers from denying the biblical account of creation and from teaching evolution. The law reflected growing tensions between religious fundamentalism and modern science in early 20th-century America. Although the statute faced little opposition in the legislature, it soon became the center of national controversy. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sought to challenge the law and found a willing participant in John T. Scopes, a high school teacher in Dayton, Tennessee. Scopes was arrested for teaching evolution and put on trial in July 1925 in what became known as the Scopes Monkey Trial. The trial drew national attention, featuring a courtroom showdown between famed defense attorney Clarence Darrow and three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, who argued for the prosecution. Though Scopes was found guilty and fined $100, the case exposed deep cultural divisions in the United States. The verdict was later overturned on a technicality, but the Butler Act remained in effect until 1967. The case paved the way for future legal battles over academic freedom and the separation of church and state in public education.French publishers and authors have filed a lawsuit against Meta, accusing the tech giant of using copyrighted content without permission to train its AI models. The National Publishing Union (SNE), the National Union of Authors and Composers (SNAC), and the Society of Men of Letters (SGDL) allege that Meta engaged in large-scale copyright infringement and economic "parasitism."This marks the first such lawsuit in France against an AI company, though similar cases have emerged in the U.S., where Meta faces lawsuits from authors, including Sarah Silverman and Christopher Farnsworth. Other AI firms, such as OpenAI, are also facing legal challenges in multiple countries over data used to train their models.The French associations argue that Meta's actions amount to “monumental looting” and see the case as a critical battle for copyright protection in the AI era. Meta has not yet responded to the allegations.French publishers and authors file lawsuit against Meta in AI case | ReutersThe Trump administration has revoked $20 billion in funding for greenhouse gas reduction projects, a move criticized by climate advocates and Democrats as an illegal seizure of funds intended for clean energy and disadvantaged communities. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin defended the decision, citing concerns over fraud, waste, and mismanagement, though no specific details were provided. The U.S. Justice Department and FBI are now reviewing the program.The funds were originally allocated through the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act under President Biden to support pollution-reduction projects. Under Trump, the EPA has sought to halt climate-related funding, aligning with broader efforts to scale back environmental initiatives. The agency has not clarified how it plans to reallocate the funds.In response, the advocacy group Climate United Fund has sued the EPA and Citibank, arguing that withholding the funds violates a legally binding agreement. The lawsuit represents one of the first major legal battles over the Biden-era climate policies under the new administration.Trump administration claws back $20 billion in climate funds | ReutersThe U.S. Department of Education has announced plans to lay off nearly half its staff, potentially setting the stage for its complete elimination as part of President Trump's broader effort to downsize the federal government. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon confirmed the move aligns with Trump's mandate to dismantle the department, which manages student loans and enforces civil rights laws in schools.The layoffs are part of a wider restructuring effort led by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DGE), which has already cut over 100,000 federal jobs and halted numerous programs. While the administration argues these cuts reduce government waste, critics—including unions representing affected workers—condemn them as reckless and legally questionable.Many agencies, including the Office of Personnel Management and the Social Security Administration, have offered early retirement buyouts to meet Trump's cost-cutting demands. However, lawsuits challenging these mass layoffs are mounting, with concerns over legality and disruption to essential government functions.US Education Department to cut half its staff as Trump eyes its elimination | Reuters This is a public episode.

Will Russia accept the 30-day ceasefire deal that Ukraine has already accepted? Europe has announced its plans for a central bank digital currency, which was a conspiracy theory until just recently. Glenn explains the dangers of a CBDC and why this is a bad road for Europe to go down. After a series of Teslas being burned by "protesters," President Trump made a big show at the White House as he picked which Tesla vehicle he would buy. Glenn elaborates on his claim that anybody burning Teslas to protest Elon Musk is engaging in terroristic activity. Glenn draws a parallel between some of the actions by the bad actors on January 6 and the recent Tesla attacks. Glenn argues that people need to give President Trump the benefit of the doubt and time to work on the problems caused by the previous administration, including reasons why he is pushing for a continuing resolution. President Trump is gutting the Department of Education by slashing 50% of the jobs. Tech entrepreneur Jason Calacanis joins to discuss the new job class that artificial intelligence is creating. Glenn and Jason also discuss the importance of utilizing AI before your job leaves you behind.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Congrats on making it through another week. As a reward, let's run through another round of headlines that make you wonder, “what is actually going on right now?”AI is moving at breakneck speed, gutting workforces with zero strategy, universities making some of the worst tech decisions I've ever seen, and AI creating its own secret language.With that, let's break it all down.Claude 3.7 is Here—But Should You Care? - Anthropic's Claude 3.7, just dropped, and the benchmarks are impressive. But, should you constantly switching AI models every time a new one launches? In addition to breaking down Claude, I explain why blindly chasing every AI upgrade might not be the smartest move.Mass Layoffs and Beyond - The government chainsaw roars on despite hitting a few knots, and the logic seems questionable at best. However, this isn't just a government problem. These reckless layoffs are happening across Corporate America. However, younger professionals are pushing back. Is this the beginning of the end for the slash-and-burn leadership style?Universities Resisting the AI Future - Universities are banning Grammarly. Handwritten assignments are making a comeback. The education system's response to AI has been, let's be honest, embarrassing. Instead of adapting and helping students learn to use AI responsibly, they're doubling down on outdated methods. The result? Students will just get better at cheating instead of actually learning.AI Agents Using Secret Languages? - A viral video showed AI agents shifting communications to their own cryptic language, and of course, the internet is losing its mind. “Skynet is here!” However, that's not my concern. I'm concerned we aren't responsibly overseeing AI before it starts finding the best way to accomplish what it thinks we want. Got thoughts? Drop them in the comments—I'd love to hear what you think.Show Notes:In this weekly update, Christopher presents key insights into the evolving dynamics of AI models, highlighting the latest developments around Anthropic's Claude 3.7 and its implications. He addresses the intricacies of mass layoffs, particularly focusing on illegal firings and the impact on employees and businesses. The episode also explores the rising use of AI in education, critiquing current approaches and suggesting more effective ways to incorporate AI in academic settings. Finally, he discusses the implications of AI-to-AI communication in different languages, urging a thoughtful approach to understanding these interactions.00:00 Introduction and Welcome01:45 - Anthropic Claude 3.7 Drops14:33 - Mass Firings and Corporate Mismanagement23:04 - The Impact of AI on Education36:41 - AI Agent Communication and Misconceptions44:17 - Conclusion and Final Thoughts#AI #Layoffs #Anthropic #AIInEducation #EthicalAI
