Here is what we know about Doge 2.0

Leah Fegar: When we go back, we will share our recommendations about what to check on WARED.com this week. Welcome to Wadi Gharib. Before I fell, I tell Makena, Tori, our listeners about what they should read on Wired.com today. Tori, what do you have for us?

Vitoria Elliot: Our colleague Kate Knibs wrote about the malnutrition crisis that waved on the horizon following the US Agency for International Development. I think this is really important because if you have worked abroad, you have worked for me in some capabilities in international development or around these circles, you know exactly how important food aid is in the United States. A, it is really useful for farmers to buy the United States government their excessive crops and charge them abroad, as it provides a really important market for American farmers. But in humanitarian crises, as we see around the world now, American food is a real line for people in harsh situations. What Kate’s reports found is that since the US Agency for International Development was severely cut by the Trump and Doug administration, this food sits in warehouses, wasted, and in places like South Sudan, children feel hungry. I think it is a really wonderful example of the way these systems are not invisible for the average, every day in the United States is very important for other people around the world, and frankly it really helps the United States’ diplomatic position as a strong entity and support for many people.

Leah Fegar: Good recommendation. Heavily, heavily agrees. Makina, what about you?

McKena Kelly: Yes. This week was Grok Week.

Leah Fegar: Lap.

McKena Kelly: Chatbot from Elon Musk, it became Hitler-Mode this week and said that some terrifying and anti-Semitic publications online. But I believe that I recommend everyone to read after all this is the reports of Paresh Dave on Grok 4, the new version of this chat that is released after this absolute chaos for a week for Eleon and his company.

Vitoria Elliot: Leah, what is your choice for this week?

Leah Fegar: Well. It is incredibly different from both, which I think is a good thing, and a slightly lighter memo to end it. Elana Klein wrote an article about Zillow and how people are looking for the cost of their friends ’homes, and this entire culture around it. It is in the culture department, it is a good reading. Everyone is very gathered, enjoyable, and forth in finding information about the net net friends. We recommend so much.

McKena Kelly: I will say that I am guilty of this!

Leah Fegar: Yes, of course you are. We are all.

Vitoria Elliot: I will say that after going to a certain party once in the past year, my partner, after we left like, “You know, I started thinking that this person may have family funds”, when I looked for something zillow.

Leah Fegar: All these articles we recommend are really wireless at their best. It is like, “Oh, Amnesty International is Hitler now, Dog, Dog, all these collapses. Also, Zillow, what happens there? How can we use technology to spy on our friends and family?” This is our offer for today. We will link all the stories that we talked about in the display notes.
