Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/18/2023):
3:05pm- During a long-form interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, billionaire Elon Musk warned that there are dangers associated with rapid advancements in artificial intelligence—specifically A.I.’s potential ability to manipulate public opinion without anyone realizing it. Musk also hypothesized that A.I. could be used to lie or withhold pertinent information from users. Could A.I. be used by political parties to acquire power?
3:30pm- While testifying before a House Committee hearing, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona was unable to define what a “woman” is when pressed by Congressman Andrew Clyde (R-GA).
3:45pm- In response to Bud Light, and its parent company Anheuser-Busch, partnering with LGBTQ+ activist Dylan Mulvaney, friends of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis released a “Real Men of Genius” parody commercial—but the commercial sounds incredibly similar to Mike Opelka’s parodies, which aired last week. Did the DeSantis campaign team derive inspiration from Opelka? It certainly seems like it.
4:05pm- On Monday, Governor Phil Murphy spoke with Eric Landskroner of News 12 and took questions from New Jersey residents. During the 40-minute segment, Gov. Murphy denied that the unusual number of whale deaths along the Atlantic Coast could be linked to offshore wind development’s usage of sonar to map the ocean’s floor, despite concerns expressed by environmental experts. At one point, Gov. Murphy baselessly alleged that studies suggesting marine life may be jeopardized by windfarm development are being funded by the fossil fuel industry. Moments later, he conceded that he had no evidence to support those claims.
4:40pm- Who Won Social Media, Rich forgets to mention he was on Fox News, and Matt is rocking a mustache today…
4:50pm- While speaking with Dan Bongino on Fox News, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Physics Professor Max Tegmark said “we have no clue” how advanced artificial intelligence will actually work.
5:05pm- The Drive at 5: During a long-form interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, billionaire Elon Musk warned that there are dangers associated with rapid advancements in artificial intelligence—specifically A.I.’s potential ability to manipulate public opinion without anyone realizing it. Musk also hypothesized that A.I. could be used to lie or withhold pertinent information from users. Could A.I. be used by political parties to acquire power?
5:15pm- During his conversation with Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk noted that Meta—parent company of Facebook—CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent $400 million in 2020 which ostensibly benefited Democrats. He then rhetorically asked, “does that sound unbiased to you?”
5:20pm- While appearing on Fox News, billionaire Elon Musk recalled an alarming conversation he once had with Google co-founder Larry Page who vowed to build a “digital god” using artificial intelligence.
5:40pm- Surprisingly, Elon Musk revealed that he voted for President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election—though, he emphasized he’s “not a huge fan” of many of his policies.
5:50pm- On Monday, Governor Phil Murphy spoke with Eric Landskroner of News 12 and took questions from New Jersey residents. During the 40-minute segment, Gov. Murphy was asked why he spent $500,000 on Statehouse office furnishings.
6:05pm- On Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. During questioning, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) quoted a recent New York Times article documenting the Biden Administration ignoring multiple warnings that migrant children were being exploited for labor. Sen. Hawley stated that Sec. Mayorkas should resign for putting the lives of innocent children in danger.
