Breaking Points is an independent news program hosted by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC are ripping us apart and making millions of dollars doing it.

4/4/25: China Calls Trump's Bluff, Stocks Plummet, Lawyer Responds To JD Vance
3 hours ago

@BreakingPoints you know what would be a fun idea? The next day after events like the State of the Union, when you all have done a pre and post live coverage, release the speech with you all watching it so we can hear your comments as things where happening. Kind of a Science Theater 3000 thing. I would decently listen to the State of the Union again to hear your real time reaction the next day

@BreakingPoints please, please, please!!! Bring on an objective pro data scientist and data engineer to help with your coverage of AI. Not a concept person who interviews well. Someone with real experience actually building things. I think if you do that, you’ll pretty quickly figure out that:

(1) AI’s capabilities are exaggerated vs actual requirements in any accountable, production level system;

(2) even entry level work still needs humans to be done with any quality control or accountability;

(3) AI agents - sure… hand over your personal decision making to a robo toddler… Just cannot see that working on mass. It’s just not that simple;

(4) Learn what GPT models acrually are. They are not intelligent. They’re encoders not brains. The mind isnt simply encoding;

(5) Valuations are concordantly exaggerated… the consequences to the markets are obvious once this is all understood properly;
