Big Tech vs California, Europe's Far-Right Surge & AI Takes Over
In the first part of today's show, we looked at Google, Meta and TikTok taking California to court over a new law designed to protect children from the harmful effects of social media. Are tech giants defending free speech, or simply protecting their profits? Then we turned our attention to Europe, where far-right political movements are gaining ground. What's driving their growing popularity, and what could it mean for the continent's future? Today's unpopular opinion was "AI will overthrow humanity." Is artificial intelligence destined to turn against its creators, or are we worrying about the wrong threat? In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: "Name a job AI will never replace." From plumbers to therapists, which professions are truly safe from the machines? The ProBoh Show is an English-language variety show hosted by Rob Grams.

Then we talked about Google's controversial approach to artificial intelligence, as users face a choice between embracing AI-powered search and potentially losing access to the traditional search experience. Today's unpopular opinion was "Nothing is beyond redemption, and anyone can change for the better." Can even the worst people genuinely change, or are some actions simply unforgivable? In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: "Name something people do that is difficult to forgive." From cheating and betrayal to lying and abandonment, we put your guessing skills to the test. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.
