Interview - How Serious Is the AI Threat? Plus, A Guide to Simplifying Your Life Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

How worried should we be about AI, and who should be making the decisions about its future? Mosh sits down with Jim VandeHei, co-founder of Politico and Axios and current CEO of Axios, for a wide-ranging conversation about the technology reshaping our lives.Jim explains why he takes warnings from AI researchers seriously, what’s at stake in the race with China, and what AI could mean for jobs, journalism and American politics.

They also get into Jim’s new book, ⁠Simplify: How to Do Less and Get More Done⁠. Jim shares how he’s applied that idea at Axios and in his own life: identifying the work that matters most, cutting obligations that consume time without adding much, and using AI to make life simpler instead of busier. It’s a conversation about the future, and how to spend your time well right now.
