can katie sleep over tonight? sure, honey! this generation is so dramatic! move with xfinity. whisker family and try literal bought today i'm caitlin polantz at the federal court in washington and this is cnn cnn breaking news we have some breaking news off the top of this hour here on the lead from former republican presidential

candidate south carolina governor and un ambassador nikki haley. she is speaking live, right now for the very first time since you dropped out of the race and march, she just announced that she will be voting for presumptive republican presidential nominee donald trump in november. as soon as jeff zeleny joins me now lives in studio. jeff, did we expect this or is this a surprise? >> jake had somewhat of a surprise. she did not mention donald trump's name at all in his speech that she just finished giving, but it came up in the question-and-answer session at a think tank, the hudson institute, which she now is leading here. she was asked and near the end of that q&a, who would she vote for? her speech was very critical of joe biden and his policies again, she did not mention donald trump by name until she was asked who her ballot would be four as of voter i put my priorities on a president who's going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account who would

secure the border no more excuses. a president who would support capitalism and freedom a president who understands, we need less debt, not more debt trump has not been perfect on these policies. i've made that clear. many, many times but biden has been a catastrophe so i will be voting for trump so she also went on to say, really picking up where she left off on march 6th, her concession speech. >> she said it is the burden of donald trump to reach out to her supporters to win them over. so jake, she went on to say this, having said that, i stand by what i said in my suspension speech, trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and to continue to support me and not be automatically assume that they will support him. so is this a surprise? no.

>> she's the last standing republican rival who had withheld her endorsement or the last major candidate, chris christie has as well. but look, she's a republican, she's a two-term former republican governor. she served in the un of course, it's his ambassador. so this is not a surprise. the question is, what happens to her supporters, but talking to her advisers, she doesn't own these supporters. she doesn't own these voters. and hundreds of millions of them have been cast since she dropped out of the race. again, she said that she hopes he reaches out to them. the bigger question could she still be considered to be his running mate, ralph norman the republican member of congress from south carolina so just yesterday here on cnn, he's talked to the former president. he wishes he would reach out to her for running mate. he has said that he is not going to put her on the shortlist. we shall see so also chris sununu, the former governor of north new hampshire, who was just a haley supporter. and now it's endorsed trump said that he

wished that trump would bring haley on the ticket stick with me, jeff, i want to bring you an actually atn who worked for vice president harris and bryan lanza who worked for the trump paint pens campaign brian, how significant a moment do you think this is? >> let's not first of all, thank you for having me. i think it's another moment of the party uniting behind trump, verjee. bill barr announced here on cnn that he was supporting trump. i think that shocked a lot of people you see more and more of it was viewed as the resistance sort of lining up, supporting trump. and that's where the party is going, where they're going unified into november. and i push back a little bit on what nikki haley's so that trump needs to appeal to her supporters. he's clearly appealing to supporters because he's consolidated republican vote already. that's not an accident, that's on a target that's an a targeted pitch in the campaign is focused on his hitting those voters without necessarily addressing the nikki haley situation. now they can address it and sort of reinforce. we've been talking to you now, nikki haley's on board. let's unify the rest of the party and let's get ready for november i mean, i just think this really puts on full

display for the american people how spineless the republican party is today, how they've completely rolled over and are now behind in backing donald trump on all of these from sununu to nikki haley he had had a great massive objections about donald trump from the $8 trillion. >> he's added to the debt, to the chaos as she would describe it, that he perpetuated as president from domestic policy to foreign policy. now all of a sudden we just delete on that. we hit delete on that. she expects american people forget that she actually said that i her voters aren't two to the point earlier, her vote, those aren't her voters. i think those voters are impure objection to where the republican party is today. they, they're disgusted by donald trump. they wanted an alternative. she represented that alternative. now that she's out of it, i think those part of those folks don't go back back to the republican party. so just alyssa farah griffin from former communications director, who is no longer a fan of donald

trump, said in response to nikki haley saying she's going to vote for trump, quote, disappointing but not surprising. >> i lost all faith and politicians long time ago, trump is a threat to democracy and has no business being near the white house. so there are some winning the republican party that have lost faith in their own leaders, right? but, but you were talking about when nikki haley said about trump during the campaign, jeff, i want to play some of what she said in the weeks before she dropped out of the race in march i feel no need to kiss the ring i have no fear of trump's retribution i'm not i'm not looking for anything from him. >> my own political future is of zero concern so a haley could have made this announcement at any time since she dropped out of the race.

>> and certainly and brian, i want you to weigh in on this in a second after geoff. certainly there a lot of people out there still voted for haley in these primaries. i mean, knowing that it's futile but i think she got like almost 20% of the vote in indiana double-digits in pennsylvania, 6% last night and kentucky not a lot, but still she's not even running why now why make this announcement now? >> look, one of the reasons i'm told is because the primaries are nearing their end and she of course is thinking about her future. i'm told it's not decided yet. she has no idea if she will run again and in in 2028. that's a long time down the road, but she is a republican, so there was a donor meeting with some of her top donors just last week in south carolina. and at that meeting, i'm told that it came up. i mean, there is some concern about her branding. she's not a joe biden moderate. she has a conservative republican. she just believes the party pretty should not be of the maga variety. so the reason she's doing it now because she was asked the question directly,

she went there and she wanted to take the air out of the suspense a little bit. the bigger question is, what does she do now? does she campaign on behalf of donald trump? does he asked her dose you reach out to her? those are very known at this hour. >> and brian. so i give you one homework assignment a second ago. so here's the second one. is there a different difference between hur saying i endorsed donald trump and her saying, i'm voting for donald trump in here as why. >> no, i don't think it's different to her voters. i certainly don't think it's a difference through the campaign i mean, at the end of the day, she says she's going to be punching her take for donald trump. that's what it'd be wants to hear in the republican party. and that's what they're going to be hearing. i do think she'll likely campaign i mean, the reality is is she's going to be very popular person among the circuit, especially to suburban women, which a campaign recognizes, they have challenges i don't think she's going to be vp or even a cabinet position, but she's a very strong and powerful surrogate for the campaign. and i think she'll deliver on that. >> yeah no. >> i mean, i think the concern is that she's prioritize her own political future over the future of the country, whatever happened to constitutional republicans the ones who

believe in those foundational documents, the one that, the ones that the documents that donald trump says he's going to do away with on day one, that he's going to lead like a dictator. and she knows that she was in those rooms. she saw it, and she brought that to the american people and said, this guy does not deserve to be in the white house why all of a sudden that changes and she's not gonna get anything out of the deal is just a disgrace. and i think a slap in the face of the american people, brian, how do you explain all the thousands of people that are still voting for nikki haley and these primaries republican voters. >> it's probably still a little bit of a protest vote. >> what you see, but let's remember this happened in 2016. you had a phenomenon lot of republican in the primary voters still not voting for trump, but would we learn we learned in november that they voted for trump. so it's a great story line that we can talk about and sort of create this upheaval. but at the end of the day, we know they fall in line because we look at historical patterns and they fell in line in 2016 one thing i learned today, the biden campaign is actually studying those voters, particularly in indiana, where more than 21%, one in five republicans voted

for her. they're trying to see a lot are suburban women, but not all of them so we will see now that haley has said who she supporting if that changes at all the calculus for some of her voters. but again, she has said she doesn't own these voters. so there was a mix some were democrats and other states, but even in closed primary states that were still a lot of republicans voting for her use. it was definitely a protest vote. we'll see if the republicans for biden organization, which is ramping up, will get any other people on it or not. she will not be one of them. ask to hear something else? nikki haley said before she dropped out of the race earlier this year at some point, maybe we should say the reason that america keeps losing is because of donald trump she certainly given the biden campaign a lot of clips that they can use in their ads. >> i don't know how effective there'll be though, with her out there saying, here's all the reasons why donald trump is better. >> yeah. i mean, i think the concern for her she's she's probably lost. i can bet all

credibility with those voters that are voting for her now, those protests vote faris so i'm not so sure what effectual have on the campaign trail going forward. and i'm not so sure this endorsement really moves any of that 20% in any of those states. i mean, you're absolutely right. she's given a lot of fodder to the biden campaign, but also, i think more than anything else, it really should wake up the republican party. they should be asking themselves, how do we reclaim this party? how do we get to this in this position that we're in now where we're going to the head of the party, who's lost three consecutive cycles, right? dating back to 16 16202018 gives me how is this person the head of the party, one who's antithetical to everything we stand for and represent as a party that they use two more importantly, if you don't mind me adding, you have senator romney who says there's, this is the scariest thing if you asked me a growing faction within the republican party that no longer believes in the costs and that's

supports people like putin that is alarming and it should be done. nikki haley, and the fact that she's compromised her principles to now support trump is despicable, will give you the last word here. >> listen, i think governor romney in 2016 provided a lot of a lot of leinz to but the hurt present triply ran and it had no factor. so whatever lines nikki haley provided in the 2024 race and probably have no factor as well. she's on board. she made a decision that she analyzed joe biden's policies, chandelier isis, foreign policies, which is viewed by a universal lenses week and said you're a week america week american leader is far more dangerous than anything donald trump has done by the weight voters have made that decision as well. at least a republican voters. all right. >> well, big news on this. what things today, wednesday, thanks so much for being here. i really appreciated coming up next in an interview that takes courage and strength. a father's hope that his message will be heard. stay with us

remains were found by israeli forces. just last week, but first, the declarations that israeli prime minister netanyahu is blasting as a quote reward for terror ireland, spain in norway, all announced plans to formerly recognize a palestinian state. let's start with cnn's jeremy diamond in jerusalem. jeremy reaction from israel and the us has been strong in swift following these three countries recognizing a palestinian state no doubt about it. >> jake and israel taking actual steps in in response to these three countries recognizing a palestinian state. these really foreign minister today recalling israel's ambassadors to those three countries and also bringing in those countries ambassadors just to israel for a formal reprimand. and also where he said he planned to show them the video of women being taken hostage on october 7, as you said, these really prime minister said that this would be a reward for terror and he's also making clear

that he opposes the establishment of a palestinian state, saying that a palestinian state today would be a terrorist state, which he said he believes will attempt to perpetrate the october 7 massacre. again and again now, as for the the united states, they are rejecting that notion of unilateral recognition of a palestinian state, but also reaffirming a two-state solution. listen president biden, as i just said, has been on the record supporting a two-state solution he has been equally emphatic on the record that that two-state solution should be brought about through direct negotiations through the parties, not through a unilateral recognition. >> that's a principle position that we have held on a consistent basis, will communicate that to our partners around the world. both and we'll see what unfolds and now the israeli foreign minister is vowing that there will be serious consequences for the recognition of a palestinian state from these three countries. >> we understand that the foreign ministry is currently considering moves that could restrict the trial hello, for example, of officials from those countries. and today the finance minister of israel,

bezalel smotrich, a far-right member of netanyahu's governing coalition, also saying that he is going to seek the approval of tens of thousands of housing units in israeli settlements in the occupied west bank, as well as new settlements. he also wants to block tax revenues, palate cillian tax revenues collected by the israeli government, meant for the palestinian authority, which is already quite severely cash-strapped. that could certainly have real consequences in the west bank. what is clear is that this move by these three countries to recognize a palestinian the state which they say will be followed by other countries, largely symbolic, but it is of course, once again, highlighting israel's growing isolation on the world stage. >> jake, jeremy diamond in jerusalem. thank you. >> last week, the israel defense forces recovered the bodies of four hostages from gaza, one of them was that of 22 year-old shani louk, who was kidnapped by hamas from the nova music festival. >> she had previously been

confirmed killed, but her body was then returned to her family over the weekend. >> a funeral was held for shani hundreds of people attended to honor her memory and her body was finally laid to rest. shani louk, father, nice seem lucas with us now. a nice seem. thank you so much for joining us under such horrible circumstances. how is your family holding up? how are you doing thank you very much. >> and good afternoon for all of you yeah, these are rough times in israel. after what happened to us and they're seven october when on the middle of the day, actually in the morning, there are risks and hamas numbers cross the border from gaza into israel. and keough, so many people in one day for us, it's a catastrophe to tragedy and especially for myself, you know, i i have a big hole in my heart by their shape of my

daughter, shani louk, which i'm sure most of you saw the picture the pictures all over the wall and she is lying in the back is as beautiful young, 22 two years old. you're lying in the back of a pickup and i'm top of her like five millimeters with machine guns and in all offer further to see such a horrible thing was difficult, but yes, we buried her this week on sunday and was therefore one side very painful, of course. but from the other side, it was a relief and i met i feel it a little bit lucky with all this tragedy that happened to us and to the jewish people in israel and around the world because this is something that is bigger than us, of course we don't the pain i feel a little bit lucky because from the first week, to two weeks after 7 october, we

knew that she was dead because they found a piece of her bone in the this from the sky and we did a dna check and it was her, so we knew that she was dead like just three weeks after 7 october. and now we had another presence from shammy probably and we have the body and we buried it on sunday and yes. >> it's complete. and we close the loop and i feel lucky twice. okay. with a big tragedy, that happened to the jewish people in israel? yes. >> how do you want shani louk, your daughter, to be remembered since shani my daughter was born, you know, we live in a beautiful place, in a beautiful four first in the middle of israel since she was a little baby, actually choose to go into the forest, like in the fairy tales and and pick up flowers that she was always happy and smile and dancing.

>> and she, she was a unique person and you could see the light coming from ourselves so she was a beautiful girl and you see that interviewed in an ulta beauty she was an amazing girl. she was so happy and she was so free. and she did whatever she wanted. sometimes it is hard for the forefather to see a girl beautiful girl doing everything. she wants. but still, she, she was afraid person and everything that you wanted and on crazy day she went to a park in the south of israel i just near the gaza border, it was a beautiful party with 3,000 people in their dancing all night and in the morning. when the rockets started coming from gaza strip towards tel aviv in israel. we called her and asked her

shelly, how are you are you okay? and she said, yes, i'm okay. and i'm heading towards tel aviv when everything is fine. and actually this was the last phone phone call we had from her. and to her and the terrorist got her halfway to tel aviv and kidnapped her body. they kill her first and then kidnapped her body to gaza. and luckily, few days ago. and some of the soldiers that they were special mission they found a hole in the ground they went down 50 meters down, and they found tama my k1 kilometers long tunnel. they were walking in the thai of tabula and then they found the room it filled up with sand bags. they took all the bags out and suddenly they saw the four bodies was very amazing. was that i saw the picture of my daughter, shani after they

found her a few days ago and body was complete, was a beautiful body still be the same color, the same scheme, the same tattoos, and its looks, looks, looks like to me like he died actually yesterday but they want to tell everyone, you know shani was a beautiful girl really an amazing woman and one day after the 7 october, in all over europe, there was a very famous picture. >> you see shani, my daughter wish we had double passports means she was an israeli german civilian and she had to passports. >> and the day after on the 8th of october, there was a big picture, beautiful picture on the main pages all over europe and it was written there from outside. you see shani beautiful dancing on from any on the other side, you see this is militant, terrorist murders. and it was written, look at our

beautiful german girl, and look what these barbarian doing to her and i think that this is one of the most important pictures actually ever in the last, let's say 50 years, that in one picture, you can see from one side an angel. and from the other side, demons, from one side, beauty from the other side, you see pain and you see horror from one side. and for the other side is bad like like if you take this picture and you show it a little kid, you not it doesn't know anything about israel and palestinian and problem and you tell him, what do you see who will tell you? i see a look at this beautiful girl and look what they're doing to her. the this cruel people i never know so many people in the world, then the israel is the israeli is the jewels are the bad and the palestinians are the good? and so whenever each one, if you have a question, am i the

good nim is the good guy? or am i debated bender? >> yeah. >> so suggest you look at the picture and immediately, it will bring you back into look, look at the picture you see immediately the good and the bad, and you cannot mix in between these two there is a line in between these two pictures and you cannot mix this picture. good they seem look, thank you so much for talking to us today. make my shawnees memory be a blessing. we appreciate your time and we're so sorry. we're so sorry. that happened thank you. >> thank you very much, to everyone. and you know in light of shani, because she had a unique light and you don't take a little bit of this slide and the non spread it around the world and the world would be a better place. >> thank you very much, amanda, that i'm into that i've next yet another lawsuit against rapper sean diddy combs, a model accusing him of sexual

ensure its original lawsuit against diddy is the only one that has been settled. cnn's elizabeth wagmeister has been on top of the story from the very beginning. elizabeth, what more do we know about mckinney's allegations against diddy? >> so mckinney says that in 2003 when she was 22 years old, she had met sean diddy combs and that he promised to help her with her career. now she says that after a new york fashion week event that he invited her back to his recording studio and not is when she alleges that she was assaulted. now, jake, i want to read you some pieces from the lawsuit and walk you through this and i do want to warn our viewers that some of this is very graphic. now, mckinney claims in the the lawsuit, she says plaintiff later came to understand that combs had laced a joint within our kotb or other intoxicating substance. she goes on to say, seeing plaintiff was very intoxicated. combs demanded plaintiff follow him and he physically led

plaintiff to the bathroom in the bathroom combs forced himself on plaintiff as she was being assaulted. plaintiff felt panicked and physically sick upon standing and walking. plaintiff felt more and more woozy and then lost consciousness as her consciousness returned, plaintiff realized that she had been sexually assaulted by combs. so that is what mckinney's attorney is a stating in this complaint. as you see there, she alleges that she believes that she was drugged when did he gave her marijuana and then she was assaulted. now, i do want to note jake that i have reached out to diddy's team. they have not responded to this new lawsuit yet. >> we know why mckinney decided to sue diddy now so she has said that after seeing cassie and other women come forward, that she felt like she had a moral obligation to share her story, but also, you know,

jake, there's a big conversation about the statute of limitations in prosecuting sex crimes and how well that's statute of limitations makes it very difficult for many accusers to come forward while there is a law that is called the new york victims of gender-motivated violence protection law. and it creates a look back window where victims can extend that statute of limitations. >> now, this law went into effect last year in march 2023, and it goes through next march in 2025. so that is how she was able to file this lawsuit. now, we do have to point out, of course, this is the latest in a string of lawsuits and all though diddy has not denied or responded at all to this one. he has issued a blanket denial back i can december 2023. and as we know, after we exclusively obtained and revealed that surveillance video, he also released an apology elizabeth, you also have a new exclusive interview with an accuser of harvey weinstein, the one who was at

the forefront of the initial sexual assault allegations against him why is she speaking out now? >> yes. so ombre botswana gutierrez she is, as you said, was really at the forefront of accusing harvey weinstein before the me too movement in 2017. now of course, harvey weinstein's conviction was overturned, but it's not just that why ombre is now speaking to us, jake it's also because during trump's hush money trial, she saw parallels because tabloid king david pecker, who was the boss of the national enquirer. he testified on the stand in admitting to bearing stories to help trump, and she believes that there were similar efforts to silence her. i asked her about that. >> let's take a look that it happened to trump with the same tabloid company that that could have been what happened to you with weinstein? >> i'm pretty sure it's what happened back into today's like

lead the voters in portland, oregon have spoken, and although the final results are not yet official and there are some votes that need to be counted. >> it does appear that the voters want a tougher stance on crime than what they were getting in a closely watched contest, longtime county prosecutor, nathan vasquez, has a sizable lead in his effort to unseat his boss, the incumbent district attorney, mike schmidt. schmidt came to office in 2020, is violent protests raged in the city. he pledged to not prosecute even those who were clashing with police this race comes as oregon recently overturned a 2020 ballot measure that decriminalized hard narcotics such as heroin and nathan vasquez joins us now mr. vazquez, i understand that until it is certified, you are not going to claim victory. i get it. i respect it, but you have you have a large lead you've pledged to end open-air drug use and drug dealing. we

know that addiction is a disease. so tell us how you're going to strike the balance between law and order and treatment yeah, absolutely. >> first and foremost, thank you for having me here today and i am very optimistic about the results, but am dedicated to ending the open-air drug dealing and the open-air drug use here. >> but the balance is one that is built into the statute and it's one that we thoroughly believed. and here portland and that this meeting people where they're at on the streets and those that are struggling with substance abuse disorder and addiction, it's helping them get to treatment. and so that's going to be half of the work here is really helping connect those individuals and supporting them through the process. but the other half is going to be very dedicated to really crushing those individuals that are dealing so is it not, our streets for those of us who are not in the pacific northwest and have been watching some of the curious law enforcement or lack of law enforcement decisions made in portland and up north and

seattle where there was that lawless zone for a month during 2020 how do you explain how things teetered so far leftward that even progressives and liberals who generally support progressive politics thought that things have had just gone way too far yeah. what want to start by saying, you know, portland is and still will be a beautiful community and city. and we have so much potential and it is a wonderful community here. there were things that got off track and i believe the community now is ready for a different vision, one that is it involves more public safety, but still has a strong place for progressive values. and that's something that we're going to honor here, but we're going to absolutely work towards delivering the promise of making victims of priority and public safety a priority here what was your reaction

when the current district attorney schmidt said he wasn't going to prosecute even those individuals who were environment confrontations with police officers during the 2020 protests, that turned violent now it was tough during that time. >> i was working closely with law enforcement trying to deal with this. i was actually in the justice center the night that protesters littered on fire. so as someone that has over two decades of experience and had worked on me these it was the wrong direction. it sent the wrong message to our community and to really the individuals that were out to cause damage and it's one where experience and i think doing doing things from that lins would really take us in a different direction and it's something that recently we've seen some issues here and i believe that when i'm elected, i'll have enough opportunity to do things in a much better manner. >> a similar vote happened. i think it was a year ago in san francisco where a very, very

very leftward district attorney lost an election. do you think the pendulum is swinging back? if not to the senate? and then to at least center left on the west coast well, what i can say certainly is that in this community in portland i knocked on probably 15 to 20,000 doors and talked to a lot of folks. and they are still very progressive, still very kind of left liberal. >> and these are things that so people are abandoning those values by any stretch, really what they're looking for though, is a balance. they want public safety and they want it delivered in a professional manner. and that's that's why i came forward with the experience i have to do that in a way that respects what we are values in this community but also make sure that victim and public safety, our priority. >> nathan vasquez. thank you. and prematurely, congratulations. appreciate it. we'll be right back red

installers are pretty high, right yeah, brian, you can have the best window or door in the world than if it's not installed correctly, it's going to fail. >> so we don't hire these jack of all trades installers that do vendors inciting on the side. our window installation teams do our windows year-in, year-out, and have done thousands of them anytime a homeowner has to deal with multiple home improvement company when he's get stuck in the blame game. >> yeah. with other companies. if there's an issue to manufacturer blames the installer. the installer blames the manufacturer with us. there's no finger-pointing or blaming each other. we're both the installer and the manufacturer said, is it easy for a homeowner to get a price? >> very easy will come out to your house, will assess your current patio sure windows, and then we'll give you an exact price. that's good for an entire year so that's great information. >> thank you. >> before may 31st, by one window, patio der or entry door? get the next one, 40% off. that's 40% off with a minimum purchase of four plus save an extra $200 on your

magnified after the dust up this week between actress scarlett johansson and openai ceo sam altman johansson accused the company of using her voice and it's updated edition of chatgpt. almond denies the allegation. you can judge for yourself. here's the sampling of johansson's voice in the movie her, in which she plays an ai followed by chatgpt is virtual sky voice. >> compare learn everything about everything. are you about to reveal something about ai? >> not to mention altman's post on x, the same de as the announcement he wrote one single word her which again is the name of that johansson movie in which she plays ai despite all the attention on the story, he still has a name, the actor whose voice sounds so eerily similar to scarlet johansson my next guest wrote in the atlantic quote, the johansson scandal is merely reminder of ais manifest destiny philosophy. >> this is happening, whether

you like it or not, unquote, charlie or zelle is the author who joins us now. thanks so much charlie for joining us. scarlet johansson has lawyered up she might need to go to court if she wants any true recourse, but do you see ai is too far advanced and two, untouchable to regulate even at this point no, i don't think it's too late to regulate. i mean, this is certainly not the column was not a a message to give up or anything like that what what i think the you can't stop it. philosophy pertains to is the people who are making it feel this way. they feel that this is a technology born of science fiction, that people have been trying to build an usher in for, for decades and i think they believe there is close as possible to building something to to meet those, those ideals. and so i think they believe that we're going to do this because we have to because

it's too important not to. and you can either get on board or you can attempt to fight us, but they clearly believed the momentum is on their side. >> you write that ai is quoted technology that requires a mindset of manifest destiny of dominion and conquest it's not stealing to build the future. if you believe it has belong to you all along, unquoted. and again, i know you're reflecting how these ai people feel about this, not how you feel about it from your reporting. how much is a guy revolutionary zone? our day-to-day lives for the good compared to yl i think we don't know yet. >> right? i think there is there is a notion that higher up in the chain when we eat, if they perhaps unlock an artificial intelligence that can reason almost like humans right? that's the goal, that's the aspiration. well then you could apply that say to science, to health care research, right? we're already seeing ai being used in protein folding things like that.

there's ai injected in analysis tools and tools that defense contractors use and hospitals and all kinds of places so it's already embedded in our lives and it's doing interesting and good things another way to think about ai, to some extent is computer automation to some degree, it's not always a sentience intelligence type figure. so there's good stuff, but there's so much promise there's so much hype and when you look at a tool like chat-gpt, it's impressive, but it's not it doesn't have human level intelligence or what they hope to have in a recent shareholders meeting this month, as i'm sure, you know, billionaire warren buffett compared to ai, to nuclear weapon saying quote we let a genie out of the bottle when we develop nuclear weapons, ai is somewhat similar. >> it's partway out the, out of the bottle on quote he's obviously speaking about the fact that there are dangers here and there is a degree to which government hasn't done

enough to stop it and it's out yeah, i think that to some degree the apocalyptic kind of skynet terminator scenarios are also good bit of marketing on the part of these ai companies, right? >> it signals that they're building something so incredibly powerful. but again, when you look at the tools that are out there they are impressive, but a lot of them are closer to a you know, a fancy autocorrect or something that anticipates the next word in a phrase, right? it's kind of a predictive technology right now. it's not thinking it's not doing anything so i think we're a ways off all right. >> shall we want to sail from the atlantic? thank you so much always good to have you on up next an uplifting discovery in a small iowa town after a horrible night of destruction status i spent. a lot of time thinking about dirt at three in the morning and he time what people don't know. is that not
