AI Shenanigans

from Cyber Sitrep

AI is moving fast. Really fast. And with seemingly everyone trying to build the next great AI model, things are starting to get a little... interesting.In this episode of Cyber Sitrep, Eric and Mike dive into some of the latest AI shenanigans happening across the industry. We look beyond the biggest names in AI and discuss some of the alternative models entering the space, what makes them different, and why some have generated controversy.One of the biggest questions is: How are these models actually being trained?As competition heats up, concerns have emerged around AI models potentially learning from the outputs of larger, established models. That opens up some fascinating questions about model distillation, training data, intellectual property, and where the line falls between building on existing technology and taking shortcuts to catch up.Eric and Mike also discuss the broader AI landscape, some of the strange things these systems can do, and just how difficult it has become to keep up with technology that seems to change every week.Is this simply part of AI's rapid evolution, or are some of these AI shenanigans signs of bigger issues ahead?Tune in and join the conversation!🎙️ New episodes of Cyber Sitrep release every Wednesday at 1 PM Mountain Time.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss the next episode!💬 What do you think?
