White Collar Workers are Radicalizing with Noam Scheiber

E

For nearly two decades, prospects for college graduates have been dwindling. The worth of a degree has suffered greatly, and it’s become increasingly clear that college grads suffer many of the same hardships as those seeking employment without degrees. With this change, there’s been a push to the left as well as a new level of organization in industries that previously had been without unions. This week, Adam talks to New York Times reporter Noam Scheiber, author of Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class, about the shift in value of the college degree and the shift in values of the college-educated.

Debunking AI’s “Existential Risk” with Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor

E

Will AI obliterate all of humanity? Will it destroy all of our jobs? There are so many questions swirling around the existential threat that AI poses, and even more completely hypothetical answers. This week, Adam brings back past guests Arvind Narayanan, professor of Computer Science at Princeton, and Princeton PhD student Sayash Kapoor to give expert perspective on our current moment. Their newest essay, AI as Normal Technology, is a rational and evidence-based exploration of AI that offers an alternative vision to the idea of AI as a potential superintelligence. SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAbout Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.

E

The news is relentless in pace as well as issues, isn’t it? This week we’re trying something a bit different: Adam sits with previous guests Jason Koebler, tech journalist from 404 Media, and comedian Dylan McKeever to wade through the muck of this week’s biggest stories. The trio talks about the government’s stiffy for AI-powered war machines, the whoever-wins-we-lose Warner Bros. Discovery merger, and a glimmer of hope for trans rights. SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAbout Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.
