The AI boom in 2023 left Intel chasing rival Nvidia, whose chips — and shares — have been in high demand. Like other laggards amid this year’s AI mania, Intel is now fighting back, announcing the first-ever AI PC. Intel’s CEO Pat Gelsinger sits down with Rapid Response host Bob Safian to discuss how the company is working to re-establish itself — and sharing lessons for leaders everywhere about the long-term trajectory of the AI wave and how to practically position yourself to ride it. Plus, Pat shares leadership insights from his unceremonious exit from Intel a decade ago, and how he’s applying those learnings now in his second tour of duty.

Some big Republican donors are in a bind. They’ve been hoping for an alternative presidential nominee to Donald Trump to write their checks to, but now they seem to be giving up on that idea and are keeping their money on the sidelines. We’ll discuss what that means for spending in the 2024 election. Plus, what’s happened to Greece since its debt crisis? And what Kimberly discovered about cocktails and ChatGPT when she walked into a bar.

Here’s everything we talked about:

• • “Big GOP donors hoped for an alternative to Trump. Now some are giving up” from Politico

• • “Greece, Battered a Decade Ago, Is Booming” from The New York Times

• • “OpenAI’s ChatGPT offers new multimodal support for images and voice search” from Axios

• • “Fetterman Plans to Give Back Menendez Donation In Cash-Filled Envelopes” The Messenger

• • “Mammals’ Time on Earth Is Half Over, Scientists Predict” from The New York Times
