Meta's Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun Makes the Case for Open Source | On With Kara Swisher

We're bringing you a special episode of On With Kara Swisher! Kara sits down for a live interview with Meta's Yann LeCun, an “early AI prophet” and the brains behind the largest open-source large language model in the world. The two discuss the potential dangers that come with open-source models, the massive amounts of money pouring into AI research, and the pros and cons of AI regulation. They also dive into LeCun’s surprisingly spicy social media feeds — unlike a lot of tech employees who toe the HR line, LeCun isn’t afraid to say what he thinks of Elon Musk or President-elect Donald Trump. This interview was recorded live at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center in Washington, DC as part of their Discovery Series. Learn more about your ad choices.

How Trump’s Second Term Could Be Bad For EVs, But Great For Tesla | Decoder

Happy Thanksgiving! Pivot is off for the holiday, so we're bringing you an episode of Decoder with Nilay Patel. Nilay is talking about something we've discussed a lot on Pivot — Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Tesla. How is the CEO of an electric car company, an outspoken advocate for combating climate change, going to square his support for Trump and a Republican policy agenda centered on climate change denial? Verge transportation editor Andy Hawkins joins to make sense of it all, and to figure out how Elon and Tesla may still benefit, even if Trump's climate policy reversals and tariffs lay waste to the auto industry.

Pivot Review

I love it when you guys are actually ON POINT talking about things. It’s cute to do SOME “witty repartee” but there is too much and then I drift away. I really like your stuff.

I have been listening to all prof G podcasts for about a year including Pivot. It has struck me recently that this show lacks substance in every imaginable way. Let me save you some time by recapping every episode. Scott humble brags about where he is currently traveling then parrots the exact same talking points he does on all other prof G podcasts. Swisher will give an entirely unexamined and entirely biased recap of every topic saying “that’s just the way it is I’m sorry.” Flippant ad hominem attacks for the same people over and over. It is clear that neither host puts any effort into addressing modern events and Swishers’ journalistic integrity has eroded into crabby griping
It’s perfect
