Listen: In this edition of the GZERO World podcast, Ian Bremmer speaks with Stanford’s Francis Fukuyama about the state of democracy worldwide and here in the US. 2024 will be a pivotal year for democracy, and nowhere more so than here at home. A quarter of Americans believe that the FBI was behind January 6. But as the late New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, “You’re entitled to your own opinions, but you’re not entitled to your own facts.” But today, in America, we cannot agree on basic facts. On this note, Fukuyama joins Bremmer to discuss the global and domestic threats to democracy.

ChatGPT is a prude. Try to engage with it about sex or other risqué topics, and it’ll turn you down. The OpenAI chatbot’s usage rules specify that even developers who build on the platform must be careful to design their applications so they’re age-appropriate for children, meaning no “sexually explicit or suggestive content,” except for scientific and educational purposes. But the company is reportedly now looking into its blue side.
