Summary
This week, we’re joined by political journalist Zoë Grünewald, who talks to us about the attempts to regulate and rein in X in the UK, and whether the state has the ability to regulate an AI system like Grok. Zoë also explains why some MPs are unwilling to let go of their accounts, even as the platform gets overrun with abusive and racist material. Of course, we also touch on the most important story facing the world right now, namely, the implosion of the Beckham family, and ask whether they could be put back together through the power of Cruz Beckham’s electro-indie musical project.
