Mathilde hijacks this episode with a question directed at co-hosts, Marcus and Annette. No warning. No prepping.

He also introduces us to Channel 1, a news channel in the making, which promises a "personalized global news network", fronted by entirely AI generated presenters, breaking real, factually accurate news.
