What if the U.S. built its future on AI factories? And what if AGI shows up just in time to run them?

Join Paul and Mike as they break down the White House’s aggressive three-part Action Plan, including its call to build more data centers and ban “woke” AI. They unpack what Nvidia’s staggering token production tells us about the pace of AI development—and how that connects to the rumored, unified GPT-5 model that could reshape everything. Then it’s rapid fire: Nvidia CEO’s advice for college students, the first AI for therapy, AI’s impact on tech jobs and more.
