Newt's World

Title 42 expired on May 11th, 2023. The Trump administration began the policy in March 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. The policy allowed U.S. officials to turn away migrants who came to the U.S.-Mexico border on the grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19. With the end of Title 42, many are concerned about what will happen with the volume of people entering the United States along the southern border. Newt’s guest is the Mayor of Yuma, Arizona, Douglas Nicholls. He just recently sent a letter to President Joe Biden requesting a State of Emergency in Yuma due to the crisis at the southern border.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Open AI’s ChatGPT-4 continues to develop and gain media attention and public debate, it has provoked a conversation in the creative community about when and how it should be used and who owns the rights to the work. Journalist Stephen Marche has been immersed in the world of AI since 2017. He is a believer in the benefits of AI as a tool for creative expression. His new novella, “Death of an Author” was written by three cutting-edge AI-writing platforms. The result is a gripping mystery that is 95% written by AI (his AI author’s name is Aidan Marchine), and 5% by Marche, who skillfully crafted the story outline and machine prompts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
