The New Yorker staff writer and historian Jill Lepore joins Tyler Foggatt for a conversation about how public feeling around artificial intelligence, and the backlash to the industry, affected the recent midterm elections. They discuss how voters rejected data centers in forty out of forty-one local ballot initiatives, whether the rising tide of fury at Big Tech will prompt the new Congress to pursue regulation of A.I., and what the scandal surrounding Nvidia's C.E.O., Jensen Huang, could mean for the future of Silicon Valley.
