Google has removed the ability to generate images of people from its Gemini chatbot. We talk about why, and the brewing culture war over artificial intelligence. Did Kara Swisher then start with “Hard Fork”? We clear up some podcast drama and ask about her new book, ‘Burn Book’. And finally, legal expert Daphne Keller tells us how the U.S. Supreme Court might rule on the most important First Amendment cases of the Internet age, and what Star Trek and soy boys have to do with it.

Today’s guests:

• Kara Swisher, technology journalist and former landlord of Casey Newton

• Daphne Keller, director of the Program on Platform Regulation at Stanford University’s Cyber ​​Policy Center
