President Biden issued an executive order on Artificial Intelligence. How does the US government see AI today based on this executive order? What are the implications of Microsoft's breakthrough with their small AI model, Phi 1.5? And how social media influencers sharing news are starting to have more reach to a younger generation than legacy news outlets.

• How is legacy media keeping up with news being broken and shared by influencers? Jason shares a fascinating article from Taylor Lorenz about how the economics of journalism have shifted heavily in recent years.
• And finally, Mikah talks about how AI was used maliciously to generate fake nudes of real students at a New Jersey high school and the urgent need for laws to keep pace with technology.
