Andrew Yang, founder of the Forward Party and CEO of Noble Mobile, discusses taxing AI as concerns mount about its impact on resources and the labor market. A screw worm was found in Texas, and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon is reportedly pitching the SpaceX IPO to wealthy clients, and the U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution to end military action in Iran. Plus, “The Social Network” author Ben Mezrich has written a new book: “Checkmate: Genius, Lies, Ambition, and the Biggest Scandal in Chess.” He recounts the cheating scandal, the “bad boys of chess,” and the big money–and growing fanbase of the game.
