A new interview with Time Magazine paints a disturbing picture of what a second Trump term could look like. Norm Ornstein, senior fellow emeritus at the American Enterprise Institute, joins Ali Velshi to discuss the most alarming revelations from the interview, why outright statements about his plans to misuse federal power are so unusual, and the challenges it poses for the media covering Trump and Biden this election cycle. "If Joe Biden said even a quarter of this, it would be glaring DEFCON 1 for everyone,” Ornstein says.

This Week in AI: OpenAI moves away from safety
This week in AI, OpenAI once again dominated the news cycle (despite Google's best efforts) with a product launch, but also, with some palace intrigue. The company unveiled GPT-4o, its most capable generative model yet, and just days later effectively disbanded a team working on the problem of developing controls to prevent "superintelligent" AI systems from going rogue. Reporting -- including ours -- suggests that OpenAI deprioritized the team's safety research in favor of launching new products like the aforementioned GPT-4o, ultimately leading to the resignation of the team's two co-leads, Jan Leike and OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever.
