Kara and Scott are joined by Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, and the author of the new book: "Superagency: What Could Possibly Go Right with Our AI Future." They discuss DeepSeek hype and fears, and why spending money on AI is a good thing. Then, Meta settles with Trump for $25 million, and the White House takes a page out of Elon's playbook to offer buyouts to federal employees. Plus, the contentious (and frightening) RFK, Jr. hearings. And will Kara get a podcaster seat at the White House briefings?Follow us on Instagram and Threads at <a href="https://www.threads.net/@pivotpodcastofficial">@pivotpodcastofficial</a>.Follow us on Bluesky at <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/pivotpod.bsky.social">@pivotpod.bsky.social</a>.Follow us on TikTok at <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@pivotpodcast?_t=8eqFuISXr1a&amp;_r=1">@pivotpodcast</a>.Send us your questions by calling us at 855-51-PIVOT, or at <a href="http://nymag.com/pivot">nymag.com/pivot</a>.
