Your Face Is The Dumb Dumb
Summary
Armstrong and Getty criticize California’s new law, dubbed the "Stop Nick Shirley Act," for criminalizing the exposure of fraud in immigration services. They discuss the rapid, potentially uncontrollable rise of AI, warning that it poses a greater threat than social media because it can become an intimate companion and self-program. The hosts also share a story about a Miss USA contestant who lost weight after a trampoline park incident and mock the unreliability of AI detection tools.
