Jon Stewart Unpacks AI’s Dubious Promise of a “Better Future” | The Daily Show

The Daily Show | October 6, 2026



As the threats posed by AI models continue to grow, AI oligarchs struggle to explain the upsides of their technology. Jon Stewart breaks down the latest tech headlines, including Trump’s refusal to regulate AI and CEOs’ awkward attempts to make human annihilation seem less scary (at least Grok can make funny videos!). Plus, Jon chats with Meta’s totally cute and totally not-sinister Muse AI agent, who makes him feel WAY better about the situation. #DailyShow #AI #Muse #JonStewart

    It's terrifying to think about the devastation this will do to the job market. It's already hard to find a job in most places. This will make things worse. These tech billionaires don't care how many lives they ruin.

    If the top Ai guys said yes our goal is to make these robots then put in super smart Ai brains in them then sell them to companies to replace all you workers then get filthy richer then we are already and own the world the citizens would revolt and demonstrate and have it shut down before it happens. So they instead do what they are now BS us all

    The 10% is pure fiction. AI can't end the world unless we plug it into our nuclear system or something equally dumb. The reason they are drumming up fear is to distract from how unprofitable it is.

    Anyone familiar with the witch in The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis? Tell me Trump isn't constantly pulling her "the sun is a figment of your imagination" nonsense..

    I always thought highly of universal basic income…, people don’t have to hunt down a job to live a happy life, they could do things that fulfill them, knowing that they’re able to exist simply if they want to… But now I see that it’s really what CEOs do in their free time, thinking that their life is provided to them so they can pursue fun hobbies

    So. I saw Muse highlighted when I got on Facebook. I don't use it everyday or much social media. I saw "hey, do you want to turn that picture into a poster?" Oh, that's cool. Dowmloaded it. Read the before you click to accept info. Yea, i thought it was joking. I know. It sounded insane.

    Googled it. Uninstalled it immediately. How is it legal or sane?? I wonder what the first disaster will be? 🤔
