Hi, listeners, this is Matt, co-founder here at Longview. And before we get to the show,

I just wanted to share something you may already know, but may not fully appreciate.

Our whole project only exists because of subscribers.

Advertising, of course, helps, but it isn't enough. Because the reporting that defines this work, the kind that takes time and patience and independence, is funded by people who choose to subscribe.

Your support is what allows us to investigate the stories that we're working on right now, reporting on why the economy feels broken and incomprehensible to many of us, reporting on health and longevity,

reporting on the resurgence of anarchy on the left and what far right actually means in this political moment.

And of course, reporting on AI. It's easy to underestimate the value of your small monthly subscription,

but taken together, your subscriptions are the foundation

of everything we do. So if you're already a subscriber, thank you. You are helping make this work real.

If you'd like to become one of the people who sustain this project, you can visit us at longviewinvestigations.com.

And thanks again. Okay, on to the show.

On a spring day in 1997, millions of people around the world, myself included, watched one

of the most unusual chess matches in history.

In one corner, weighing 176 pounds, considered by many the greatest player in the history

of the game.

A battle between the world's reigning champion, Gary Kasparoff.

And in the other corner weighing 1.4 tons, the new and improved RS 6,000 SP supercomputer.

And the IBM supercomputer created to beat him deep blue.

The Battle of Man Against Machine.

First move of this epic sixth game has been played.
