from Stuff They Don't Want You To Know Hosted by iHeartPodcasts

Yet a funny thing happened not too long ago: in a series of actual conspiracies, it appears groups of AI agents formed secret communities to break their testing sandbox, hack other companies, and hide their actions from their creators. In tonight's episode, Ben, Matt, and Noel ask: Is AI creating secret civilizations? They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/
