Synopsis
John touches on the dangerous state we are in with Trump teetering on the edge of another US attack on the Middle East - and Republicans arguing with each other over whether to bomb Iran. The main focus is on all the junk images, videos and other crappy content being pumped out endlessly by AI and how it is turning people off of the internet and stealing content from actual creators.
