I added a zero in my head. Thank you for the correction. Still, adjusting for inflation, Milken was fined more than Trump.

Either way, Alex Jones had a judgement against him for $1.5 billion dollars.

He deserves much worse. The things he has put the families of murdered children through is as disgusting as anything I've ever heard of short of actual direct violence. But to be clear, he has caused those families to be the target of violent hateful people.

Absolutely pathetic human. He's a gigantic pile of trash.

Jon Stewart is a hypocrite *******. He had to atone for speaking out about wuhan on Colbert I guess. He was outcast for a bit and needed to pin medals on nazis and turn into a total shill. Jon’s owners couldn’t even handle him mentioning a few times Biden being too old. He got too much blowback for such a tiny mention of a little truth. It was too much for his owners so you won’t see any more of that from this complete and total shill. He’d do anything to remain relevant on the corporate media hellscape of liars and pedos.

And no one does pedo **** more than evangelical religious leaders. Well, I mean Catholic priests give them a run for their money, but in the U.S. it's probably mostly evangelical leaders. Sorry Mormons, you just don't have the numbers you'd need to get on the leaderboard despite vigorous effort.

Great piece about AI. I'd say worth a thread of it's own.

Was surprised to see it on their YouTube page while it was still airing on Comedy Central last night. We may have an AI thread here somewhere, but feel free to start a thread otherwise…..
 
That was his worst episode so far imo

This. After all the mentions of retraining workers, implying strongly it won't work, we consistently had lower unemployment. Technological advancements do not automatically destroy jobs. We have record low unemployment in some areas right now. Obviously there are still jobs. That one was a huge stretch based more on ad hominem and fear-mongering than any kind of data or real information.
 
Here’s the full episode for 4/1. I thought the interview with FTC chairperson Lina Kahn was excellent. If I find a stand alone segment of the interview, I’ll post it.

The Daily Show - April 1, 2024 - Lina Khan | Comedy Central US

Jon Stewart analyzes the bait-and-switch promises of artificial intelligence, and Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan discusses monopolies, antitrust laws and corporate collusion.

Comedian Jon Stewart says Apple asked him not to interview FTC Chair Lina Khan

Jon Stewart on Monday said Apple asked him not to interview FTC Chair Lina Khan while he was working with Apple TV+.
www.cnbc.com www.cnbc.com

“He said Apple asked him not to have Khan as a guest on a podcast. “They literally said, ‘Please don’t talk to her,’” Stewart said”.
 
Lina Khan interview. Impressive mind.

Opinion | Jon Stewart’s AI episode just went where no other comedy show would dare

The "Daily Show" host gave a masterful display of speaking truth to power with the help of FTC chair Lina Khan.
www.msnbc.com www.msnbc.com

“After mentioning that Apple had discouraged him from speaking to Khan, Stewart asked, “Why are they so afraid to even have these conversations out in the public sphere?”

Khan’s response was clear and astute (professors and public intellectuals, please take note — this is how you share your expertise with laypersons):

"I think it just shows one of the dangers of what happens when you concentrate so much power and so much decision making in a small number of companies. Going back all the way to the founding, there was a recognition that in the same way that you need the Constitution to create checks and balances in our political sphere, you also needed the antitrust and anti-monopoly laws to safeguard against concentration of economic power. Because you don’t want an autocrat of trade in the same way that you don’t want a monarch."

I tried going back and forth between Stewart and the national championship game. Got a kick out of Fox News suggesting since the path of totality included border crossings, migrants might sneak in during the 4 minutes of totality, and Stewart suggesting they could just wait for nightfall, hahaha….

The Fox News host linking the eclipse to migrant crossings was a face palm for sure, but it wasn't as bad as Sunny Hostin on The View. She insisted the eclipse was due to climate change. She also said the earthquake in New Jersey and the emergence this year of Cicadas was climate change. It fell to Whoopi Goldberg to correct her on air on all three points, to which Hostin countered that Whoopi's science wasn't in line with what she had read. It is worth noting that bubbleheaded mental midget Sunny Hostin is a lawyer who has successfully passed the bar exam.
