Summary

As America tears itself apart over social issues, like Roe vs Wade and whether to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, technology could soon make things even worse in this country. Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of Box, joins Nick to discuss potential massive job loss, gross inequality and A.I. being used against America with the power of digital nuclear bombs. As Levie and Nick discuss, Silicon Valley has shown that it is incapable of seeing how the future can be used against us, and yet Donald Trump and his administration are oblivious (or don't care) about what's coming next. Stick around after the show, when Jon Kelly joins Nick to voice their dismay over the GOP, and discuss the Vanity Fair New Establishment list. Learn more about your ad choices.
