Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Rick Rosner unpack Elon Musk’s Grok—fluent, unflappable, and a little Turing-testy—after a neutron-rivets gag melts into an ethics riff on AI “feelings.” Rosner’s alarm bell rings louder over AI creeping into nuclear command, where human judgment has historically averted catastrophe. Alien: Earth twists canon as Wendy calms a fledgling xenomorph; Noah Hawley widens possibility without declaring a “pet,” while Timothy Olyphant’s Kirsh threads corporate menace. Meanwhile, blurry Donald Trump sightings fuel health speculation ahead of an Oval address; Rosner imagines a 2028 Senate pivot if the Twenty-Second Amendment blocks another run, boosted by neurotech theatrics and donor gravity.
