Jason Calacanis explains how AI will provide the "bottom half" of the economic K-shaped recovery with services previously reserved for the wealthy, such as personal assistants and travel agents.

Bonta emphasizes that the core of the case is Meta's alleged deception of Congress and the public regarding product safety.
