1:45:49Now PlayingSam Altman says OpenAI is close to building "a genie that can grant any wish" — and Tom makes the case that, timeline aside, he's basically right, walking through the two things (cheap stored solar and near-zero-cost robotic labor) that would actually make it real. Then the big one: New York is opening taxpayer-funded government grocery stores promising 30% below retail, and Tom breaks down — with the receipts from every place that's tried it — exactly why the math can't work and who ends up paying. Plus: Iran's surprise strike on a US base and the munitions problem behind Trump's pullback, and how two separate wars are starting to merge into one.
