The debt limit is the big economic news story of the day, but yes, you *still need to keep an eye on inflation. The personal consumption expenditures price index, a measure of consumer spending, ticked up last month. That’s bad news if you were hoping interest rates, the tool the Federal Reserve uses to fight inflation, might come down soon. And, some musing on the nature of consequences: Three members of the far-right militia known as the Oath Keepers were recently sentenced to prison for their part in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Plus, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty! Here’s everything we talked about today: “Sedition Sentence for Oath Keepers' Stewart Rhodes Marks Moment of Accountability” from The New York Times “Jessica Watkins: Oath Keepers member and Army veteran sentenced to 8.5 years in prison for January 6” from CNN Politics “US Inflation (PCE), Consumer Spending Pick Up in Sign of Economic Resilience” from Bloomberg “The Fed’s favorite inflation gauge just heated up — and that could mean another rate hike” from CNN “Atlanta Fed CEO on the debt limit debacle and curbing inflation” from Marketplace “Band-Aid is the most trusted brand in the US, beating out Amazon and Visa” from Business Insider “Netflix's password-sharing crackdown is here — and it costs $7.99 per month” from The Verge “The Restaurant QR-Code Menu Is Being Shown the Door” from The New York Times “The steel sector is carbon-intensive. “Green steel” could be a game changer.” from Marketplace “Admit it — you miss socializing at the office” from Marketplace It’s the last day of our May fundraiser.

Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, who as of this week also has the new title executive vice president of AI, oversees Microsoft's AI efforts, including the big partnership with OpenAI and ChatGPT. Kevin and I spoke ahead of his keynote talk at Microsoft Build, the company's annual developer conference, where he showed off the company's new AI assistant tools, which Microsoft calls Copilots. Microsoft is big into Copilots. GitHub Copilot is already helping millions of developers write code, and now, the company is adding Copilots to everything from Office to the Windows Terminal. Basically, if there's a text box, Microsoft thinks AI can help you fill it out, and Microsoft has a long history of assistance like this. You might remember Clippy from the '90s. Well, AI Super Clippy is here. Microsoft is building these Copilots in collaboration with OpenAI, and Kevin manages that partnership. I wanted to ask Kevin why Microsoft decided to partner with a startup instead of building the AI tech internally, where the two companies disagree, how they resolve any differences, and what Microsoft is choosing to build for itself instead of relying on OpenAI. Kevin controls the entire GPU budget at Microsoft. I wanted to know how he decides to spend it.  We also talked about what happened when Bing tried to get New York Times columnist Kevin Roose to leave his wife. Like I said, this episode has a little bit of everything. Okay. Kevin Scott, CTO and executive vice president of AI at Microsoft. Here we go.

Section 230 protects tech companies from being held liable for users’ content, but it has been criticized for being out of step with technology.

Autonomous vehicles are here, and they’re causing some problems. Reports over the past year show driverless cars occasionally getting glitchy in cities like San Francisco and Phoenix. Andrew Hawkins, transportation editor for The Verge, says driverless cars are in a confusing moment. Most of the time, they work remarkably well, until suddenly, they don’t. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Hawkins about the state of autonomous vehicles today and an industry beset by technological and financial problems.

Today we're sharing an episode of Into It: A Vulture Podcast with Sam Sanders AI is making fake Drake/The Weeknd songs, weird images, and there's a worry that TV and movie scripts could be written by ChatGPT. But it's also about to dramatically change the way we consume, share, and obsess over pop culture. Nilay Patel, Editor-in-Chief of The Verge, explains to Sam how pretty much everything we search on the internet is mediated by Google… and how AI is about to disrupt it all.

Hello and welcome to Decoder. I'm Nilay Patel, editor in chief of The Verge, and Decoder is my show about big ideas, and other problems. We have a special episode today – I'm talking to Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google and Alphabet. We hung out the day after Google IO, the company's big developer conference, where Sundar introduced new generative AI features in virtually all of the company's products. It's an important moment for Google, which invented a lot of the core technology behind the current AI moment – the company is quick to point out the T in chatGPT stands for Transformer, the large language model tech first which was invented at Google. But openAI and others have been first to market with generative AI products — and openAI in particular has partnered with Microsoft on a new version of Bing that feels like the first real competitor to Google search in a long time.  So I wanted to know what Sundar thinks of this moment – and in particular, what he thinks of the future of search, which is the heart of Google's business. Web search right now can be pretty hit or miss, right? There's a lot of weird content farms out there, and AI-based search might be able to just answer questions in a more natural way. But that means remaking the web, and really, remaking Google. Sundar is already going down that path – he just reorganized Google and Alphabet's AI teams, moving a company called DeepMind inside Google and merging it with the Google Brain AI group to form a new unit called Google DeepMind. I can't resist an org chart question, so we talked about why he made that call – and how he made it. We also talked about Sundar's vision for Google – where he wants it to go, and what's driving his ambition to take the company into the future. This is a jam-packed episode – we talked about a lot, and I didn't even get to Google's AI metadata plans, or what's going on with RCS and Android. Maybe next time.  Links: The nine biggest announcements from Google I/O 2023  What happens when Google Search doesn't have the answers?  Microsoft thinks AI can beat Google at search — CEO Satya Nadella explains why  Let's chat about RCS - The Verge  Transcript: https://www.theverge.com/e/23484772  Learn more about your ad choices.

(0:00) Zolak & Bertrand start the show by reacting to the Celtics dropping Game 5 against the 76ers and being on the verge of elimination. (13:04) We continue to dive into last night's game and the Celtics consistently not showing up at home. (23:17) The crew goes back and forth on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown's reaction to last night's loss. (31:41) We decipher where blame will land for the Celtics if they end up getting eliminated by the 76ers.

Hour 1: Max Scherzer was scratched yesterday with neck spasms and then the Mets went out and lost again, this time to the Reds. The Mets did dodge a bullet not getting Carlos Correa who is currently being booed in Minnesota. The Mets starting pitchers are taking up over $114 million dollars and not pitching. Boomer said this all started with the injury to Edwin Diaz at the World Baseball Classic. Where will the Mets be at the trade deadline and will they be buyers or sellers? Right now they are looking like sellers. It's not even where the Mets are in the standings. It's who they're losing to which is discouraging. This is a sign the Knicks are going to lose tonight. Boomer thinks they will win tonight as they will be highly motivated. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with sound from last night's Mets loss to the Reds. The Mets are now 17-19. Buck Showalter talked about the play that got him thrown out of the game. Lindor also called about the non-interference play at second. Francisco Alvarez hit 2 HRs for the Mets in the loss. Max Scherzer talked about his stiff neck. Boomer said he woke up with a stiff neck one time when he was with the Jets. Jake Bauers had a mighty HR to left center. Jerry went around the NBA playoffs last night. The Devils lost to the Hurricanes and are on the brink of elimination.

Boy (semi-serious) talk this week!

HOUR 1: Is the Knicks season over? Your best audio of the day in Sound Check. Why would the Commanders look into Luck?

Brian Chesky, the co-founder and CEO of Airbnb, was previously on the show in 2021. Back then, Airbnb was betting big on long-term stays for remote work amid the pandemic, and Chesky had just restructured the company to a more functional organization, getting rid of the divisions it had before. Now, the pandemic is ending, Airbnb has itself adopted a hybrid policy, Chesky's back in the office several days a week, and they're two years into that new structure. So that's pure Decoder bait. I wanted to ask Chesky how that restructure is going. Has it really made the company more agile and cohesive like he hoped? Has the bet on working from anywhere paid off?
