Well, well, well. That didn’t take long. OpenAI’s leadership hinted yesterday at what we all know: namely, that the company's financing model is unsustainable and its leaders are expecting government to bail them out. I explain how their entire enterprise is not built upon the free market, so all of its economic and social consequences are not in line with the benefits we’ve reaped from legitimate technological revolutions. Unfortunately, the Trump administration continues to deny the economic problems while making data centers the centerpiece of its mission. I explain how and why we could crush the Left if we divorced from Big Tech. Finally, I express concerns about JD Vance’s “aristopopulism,” which mixes the worst elements of elitism and populism rather than the benefits of each.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
