AI:AM LIVE — June 16, 2026 — Doom, Policy, and the Physical Economy: Liron Shapira, Samuel Hammond, Matt McKinney

A morning that ran from AI existential risk to the physical economy. The open took on the SpaceX acquisition of Cursor and what it reveals about frontier AI as a gravitational black hole absorbing the application layer — then three guests: Liron Shapira of Doom Debates on whether near-certain AI doom is calibrated or unfalsifiable; Samuel Hammond of the Foundation for American Innovation on state capacity, the Fable export-control standoff, and AI-driven governance; and Loop CEO Matt McKinney on where enterprise AI is actually delivering ROI in supply chains. The show ran nearly three hours.
