- It's no secret that housing prices in California are pretty outrageous, and the sale of a burned-out home in Torrance is adding fuel to the fire. The dilapidated 1,140-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath property at the corner of Lenore Street and Anza Avenue was uninhabitable after a fire in 2024. Despite being a teardown, the home still sold for over $1 million in a probate sale last June.

- As the June 2nd primary election nears in the race for Los Angeles Mayor, the conversation online has become dominated by a series of fan-created, AI-generated videos that portray Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt in such heroic roles as Luke Skywalker and Batman, defending a dystopian Los Angeles from the likes of Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass. Mayor Karen Bass has condemned the viral videos, calling them "scary" and "violent," but despite the criticism the Los Angeles Times writes that some see them "as a harbinger of how artificial intelligence could reshape political messaging across the country." With more on the videos, tips on detecting the work of artificial intelligence, and whether regulations can put the genie back in the bottle, Micah Ohlman and Cher Calvin are joined by Dr. Chris Mattmann, international expert in A.I. and Machine Learning and Chief Data and Artificial Intelligence Officer at UCLA.
