Why AI is Failing, with Cory Doctorow

While AI companies look to push their increasing losses onto American retail investors (and even the American taxpayer), Cory Doctorow's new book, The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After A.I. (available June 23rd), provides a look at "how we found ourselves in this dire situation and how we can get through it, to a life 'after' AI in which the tools work for us, not the other way around."Alvaro and Max sat down with Cory to discuss his new book and the ways Americans are being deceived and defrauded by AI hype. Along the way you'll learn about Byzantine Premiums and the Ulysses Pact as well as fascinating facts underlying America's AI obsession.Image courtesy of Cory Doctorow under CC BY 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en.
