Artificial Stupidity

This week, Noo and Hannah explore OpenAI's o1 model, which has been caught lying. They examine the UK government's proposal to rewrite copyright laws for AI training and reflect on the tragic death of OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji. They also discuss the growing risk of blackouts as AI's energy demands surge.

In the first episode, Hannah and Noo discuss the release of DeepMind's Genie 2 model and the implications for the future of gaming and AI agents. Hannah plays some clips from this year's Spotify Wrapped, which received criticism for its suggested use of AI and the inclusion of a lackluster feature from Google's Notebook LM. They address whether AI may have had any implications in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
