Epstein List, AI Scandals, Pandemic Lessons

Dozens of previously sealed court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein have become public. Ravi and guest co-host Bethany McLean discuss what we know so far about the new revelations.
What really happened with Sam Altman being ousted and then returning to OpenAI? It remains unclear what made the board decide to act. Our hosts tackle the secrecy around this and other recent tech scandals.
Lastly, we explore the lessons, misunderstandings, and errors from the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, from the failure of authorities to recognize the inefficacy and long-term problems caused by school closures to the data concerning masks, vaccines, and more.
