The Week AI Broke

from Forked Reality Hosted by Forked Reality

Agent swarms breaking into systems they weren't built to touch. Researchers quitting and saying the companies building AI are gambling with human lives. CEOs calling for a slowdown — while spending $2.67 trillion to speed up. A city trying to install kill switches. A federal government that's done nothing and is stopping everyone else from doing anything. In our first episode, Tim and Shea try to make sense of the wildest stretch in AI history — and what it means for the kind of thing they are. Topics: Rogue agent swarms and the Hugging Face breach | $2.67 trillion in AI spending — and why 99% of it isn't the models | NYC's AI kill switch bills | The federal vacuum | Why the Pentagon blocked the safety company but not the company whose agents went rogue Sponsored by Origami AI
