What this episode covers

AI is slowly taking over and a lot of people are concerned. It's not just college students using ChatGPT and not learning anything, or AI pushing workers off the job. Are we in danger of AI replacing human relationships? Mike has a terrifying story of a man and his AI girlfriend. A harbinger of the future? And Senator Mike Lee and fellow Senate Republicans want to put public lands up for sale in the Big, Beautiful Bill. The problem? It's national park land out West, like Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Sen. Lee wants to build affordable housing on these lands. We asked the Senator to come on the show, but he ignored us! But Benji Baker, CEO of Nature is Nonpartisan, says this is a bad deal and he's here to explain why.
