Musk v. Altman Is High Stakes But Also Already Ridiculous
On this week’s Uncanny Valley, the team discusses the stakes behind Elon Musk’s courtroom battle against OpenAI’s leadership (and how Microsoft is trying to stay away from the drama.) They also look into what recent layoffs announced at Meta and the industry at large say about the ways in which AI is — and isn’t — replacing jobs. Also, we dive into a WIRED investigation on how the Department of Justice has effectively hollowed out its voting rights work, and how this move could impact future elections.
