My book “The Future of Truth: How AI Reshapes Reality” had just been published when The New York Times found a handful of quotations that didn’t hold up.

Trump’s Brand Graveyard
If you don’t think Trump can destroy America, look at what happened to the brands that carried his own name. His record is not simply a few bad bets.
