The duo who helped bankrupt Gawker ten years ago. They're also teaming up to bring the world the steroid-embracing Enhanced Games later this month. D’Souza says Objection.ai is about restoring public trust in journalism and making it more transparent. Critics worry about its ideological bent and what it means to subject journalists, and their sources, to an AI \"judge\". Aron D’Souza joins Jesse to talk about the tech, what it means to \"object\" to a reporter’s work, and if there’s any reason to believe Objection.ai could work at all.
