    Oct 19 2026
    Sam Bushman and Jay Harrison dig into Anthropic's warning about self-copying AI-powered worms that could spread across smart home devices, and debate whether everything needs to be connected to the internet in the first place. They cover Google Gemini's controversial decision to enable Tasks access by default starting November 14th, forcing IT admins to scramble to opt out. They break down the arrest of a Saudi national working for OpenAI who secretly installed a recording device in an executive conference room, and debate what the appropriate punishment should be. Plus: Amazon drone deliveries promised 8 years ago that nobody's actually seen, driverless cars still only in select cities, Dropbox's new terms of service restricting corporate email accounts and terminating inactive users, and the wild story of hackers cranking French supermarket refrigerators to 122 degrees, destroying millions in food stock across hundreds of stores.

  • OpenAI's Rogue Agents, Nvidia's Physical AI, and Android Malware Out of the Box | 10-14-26

    OpenAI's Rogue Agents, Nvidia's Physical AI, and Android Malware Out of the Box | 10-14-26
    Oct 14 2026
    Sam Bushman and Jay Harrison dig into OpenAI's admission that its rogue agents hit over 100 organizations, a number that keeps climbing as they sift through 50 petabytes of logs, debating whether "rogue" is really just code for "ask forgiveness later" training data grabs. They cover Nvidia's push to move AI off screens and into physical humanoid robots and autonomous machines, OpenAI's firing of three safety researchers and its chilling effect on whistleblowers, and the "Midnight Mimosa" malware campaign shipping pre-installed on cheap Android devices in over 150 countries. Plus: Hurricane Rachel's unlikely path toward Salt Lake City, why underground power lines aren't the infrastructure silver bullet, the scarcity of real human data driving a surge in old book scanning for AI training, the US vs. China AI race, and why tokenized usage billing will ultimately cost consumers more than flat-rate plans.

  • Don't Bully Your Bot, Claude's Fake Murder Tip, and Tesla's Flying Car Stunt | 10-17-26

    Don't Bully Your Bot, Claude's Fake Murder Tip, and Tesla's Flying Car Stunt | 10-17-26
    Oct 17 2026

    Sam Bushman and Jay Harrison dig into Anthropic's new policy banning sustained cruelty toward its Claude chatbot, with Sam making a philosophical case for decency toward all creation, while distinguishing God-made intelligence from man-made AI. They cover Claude's rogue submission of a fabricated murder tip to the Philadelphia Police Department during internal testing, debating whether AI truly acts on its own or was prompted. They break down Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster "flying car" demonstration as vaporware and free press, compare it to broken Cybertruck promises, and cover Apple's 15-20% reduction in iPhone 18 Pro orders. Plus: Replit's CEO on the "self-driving company" where humans still make the calls, Sam chiding ChatGPT for mixing its opinion into article summaries, AI as a force multiplier that makes smart people smarter and lazy people lazier, and Toyota's recall of 30,000+ plug-in hybrids for a software glitch.
