This week, Logan and Evan dive into the latest major battery projects in Kentucky, including EnerVenue\'s investment of $264m into a gigafactory in Shelby County, and Microvast\'s $504m investment in Hopkinsville. These announcements solidify Kentucky as the EV battery production capital of the United States.

We also discuss Kentucky\'s latest legislation on medical marijuana and sports betting, with the recent passing of Senate Bill 47 to legalize and regulate medical marijuana in Kentucky, and our thoughts on the potential pivot of AppHarvest to growing medical marijuana.

In our AI Edge Segment, we discuss the recent call by tech industry leaders, including Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, for a six-month pause in the development of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4. They believe that the risk to society is too great as AI becomes increasingly human-competitive at general tasks, potentially flooding information channels with propaganda and causing job displacement on a massive scale. Goldman Sachs predicts that over 300 million jobs could be replaced by AI like ChatGPT worldwide. Finally, we ask ChatGPT to simulate a scenario related to AI alignment.
