A.I. Safety Goes Mainstream + a ‘Hard Fork’ Exit AMA

Hard Fork discusses the sudden mainstream attention on AI safety, with frontier AI companies voluntarily calling for regulation while the Trump administration pushes back. The episode also features a debate between Mark Zuckerberg and Anthropic over an AI slowdown, and examines the China-driven argument for accelerating AI development. In the final segment, the hosts answer listener questions about the show and tech in an exit AMA.
