In the wake of the recent election and the current state of affairs surrounding AI and digital communication, they both declare a "state of emergency" in regard to how the digital and so-called "real" worlds are quickly - and dangerously - colliding. Join them for a spirited and necessary conversation about what has happened to bring us here, where we find ourselves now, and where we must be heading.
