The first recipient of the grant is Machine Gods, NPR’s new video podcast from former Hard Fork hosts Kevin Roose and Casey Newton, which is receiving a $480,000 grant from the organization. Tarbell is also separately backing NPR’s “Power and Influence” desk, giving the public media outlet $250,000 to help expand its coverage of how AI intersects with politics, money, and power.

“Crypto already has a branding of ‘it’s just a bunch of scams and scammers,’ and this didn’t help because now even the top guy did the same thing that people hate.” 😂 😂😂 The problem’s not just the branding guys, it’s the product!
