Mike and Emily tackle the latest Tesla self-driving mishap – a Cybertruck versus a pole. Is it the driver's fault, a software failure, or false advertising by Elon Musk? They debate the safety of self-driving cars compared to human drivers and what it all means for the future of transportation. Then, they take a look at Apple's claim that their robot lamp feels emotions, and talk about how this kind of false claim is actually common in the industry. Finally, they unpack the shocking story of Kanye West's Super Bowl ad selling a swastika t-shirt. This leads to a conversation about AI-generated celebrity condemnations and Scarlett Johansson's fight against the misuse of her likeness.
