Former President Trump, speaking at a New Jersey rally, made an unusual comparison of migrants to Hannibal Lecter, calling the fictional character "wonderful." Meanwhile, President Biden was busy on the West Coast, engaging in fundraisers and criticizing Trump's rhetoric. Biden is gearing up for a return to the West Coast for a star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles next month, and plans an early summer fundraiser with Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Associated Press' Darlene Superville joins Way Too Early to discuss the contrasting campaign strategies.

$6M fine for robocaller who used AI to clone Biden's voice
The FCC has proposed a $6 million fine for the scammer who used voice-cloning tech to impersonate President Biden in a series of illegal robocalls during a New Hampshire primary election. It's more about robocalls than AI, but the agency is clearly positioning this as a warning to other would-be high-tech scammers. This was, of course, fake — a voice clone of President Biden using tech that has become widely available over the last couple years.

Canva launches a proper enterprise product -- and they mean it this time
Back in 2019, Canva, the wildly successful design tool, introduced what the company was calling an enterprise product, but in reality it was more geared toward teams than fulfilling true enterprise requirements. On Thursday, the company changed that, announcing a new enterprise version that is truly geared toward the needs of larger organizations. Cam Adams, co-founder and CPO at the company, says in 2019, they were looking at moving from supporting mostly individual users to supporting small teams from between five and 100 users.

X should bring back stars, not hide 'likes'
Elon Musk's X is preparing to make "likes" private on the social network, in a change that could potentially confuse users over the difference between something they've favorited and something they've bookmarked. According to new posts by company employees, the decision to hide likes is meant to incentivize engagement, by allowing people to favorite content that seems "edgy" and to protect their public image. The change comes across as somewhat unnecessary, given that X, the company formerly known as Twitter, already had a private way to save posts on the platform: bookmarks.
