Trump Wages War On A.I. Doomers
Summary
The Five discusses the debate over AI regulation, with hosts arguing that AI is a tool rather than a nuclear threat and criticizing tech CEOs for using "doomer" narratives to secure antitrust exemptions. They also analyze Gavin Newsom's decision to support Kamala Harris for the 2028 presidential race, viewing it as a strategic move to clear the field. Additionally, the panel covers Macklemore's removal from Ed Sheeran's tour for pro-Palestine statements and Sydney Sweeney's controversial sports betting ad, while promoting Jessica Tarlo's new book on civil discourse.
