Cesar Chavez, the late civil rights icon best known for his work in organizing California farm laborers, has been accused of sexually assaulting two underage girls during the 60s and 70s, according to an investigation by the New York Times. The allegations add to the figure’s complicated legacy, which includes multiple instances of extramarital affairs and secret children. The investigation says that key figures in the labor movement knew about allegations of sexual misconduct for years, but took no actions. The investigation comes one day after the United Farm Workers, the organization spawned from Chavez’s worker movement, said they would not take part in celebrations of Cesar Chavez day. For more on these revelations, and how Chavez’s legacy is being altered, are Gustavo Arellano, columnist for the Los Angeles Times, and Miriam Pawel, author of "The Crusades of Cesar Chavez: A Biography."

At this point, for most consumers, the use of Artificial Intelligence is a no-brainer. The ability to produce quick results while minimizing labor has revolutionized workflow in every single sector, with the latest being climatology. AI tools like Claude are running real-time climate model simulations in a matter of minutes instead of days now. But these ambitious abilities do not come without their inherent flaws, as AI systems still produce hallucinations with inaccurate information. This poses the obvious challenge as it relates to the nuanced nature of scientific research and judgment. Today on AirTalk, we are joined by Zeke Hausfather, a climate research lead at Stripe, a financial technology company, and co-author of the Substack newsletter The Climate Brink, to talk about what being an AI-augmented scientist could look like.
