## Resource

Coffee with BJ Dichter | EP#258 dives into the collision of AI, politics, media manipulation, and technology. BJ breaks down Apple’s evolving AI strategy with Gemini and Claude integration, the fake Tesla Cybercab “accident” that fooled major outlets, Honda’s retreat from massive EV investments, Meta ending WhatsApp encryption, and the growing problem of verifying reality in an era of AI-generated media. The episode also covers Eric Swalwell controversy fallout, Pauline Hanson’s political win in Australia, and the rise of Restore Britain in the UK, all through a relaxed long-form coffee conversation focused on communication, critical thinking, and navigating the modern information war.Join my locals community at HonkingforFreedom.locals.comJoin my substack community at bjdichter.substack.comOrder Now!Honking For Freedom - The Trucker Convoy That Gave Us Hopehttp://www.HonkingForFreedom.comSubstack | Twitter | Locals | Instagramwww.BenjaminjDichter.com
