Holiday Special: AI Safety Update
In our holiday episode, Mason opens a rather unique Christmas present from Perry, we invite a special guest to help explain the infamous "Paperclip Maximizer" thought experiment, and we discuss an interesting (and somewhat disturbing) new AI Safety paper from Apollo Research.
Welcome back to the show that keeps you informed on all things artificial intelligence and natural nonsense. Warning: today's episode gets a bit dark as we chat with seasoned prosecutor and founder of Operation Shamrock, Erin West, about a devastating combination of attacks known as "Pig Butchering" scams. We go deep into how they work and what we can do about them.
AI Gone Wild: Worrisome Leaks, Misguided Conspiracies, and More
Mason shares how ChatGPT became an unexpected hero in solving his home networking and studio challenges. Perry dives into the mysterious case of "David Mayer" and how a simple ChatGPT privacy patch sparked widespread conspiracy theories. We explore Tencent's bold entry into AI video generation with their open-source HunyuanVideo model. And in our AI Dumpster Fire of the Week, we unpack the drama surrounding leaks of multiple models from OpenAI.
Mason has an update on last week's shocking story of Google Gemini’s alleged threats against a user. Is this a glitch, a hack, or something more sinister? We sit down with cybersecurity expert Justin “Hutch” Hutchins (author of The Language of Deception) to dive into his experience weaponizing large language models and what it means for the future of AI. And finally, we lighten things up with some fun AI music experiments, showing that Perry and Mason may have too much time on their hands.
