00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.560 All right, no one is prepared for the consequences. 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.120 Open AI's chief scientist calls for an AI slowdown. 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.360 Good afternoon, Tech Time listeners. 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.960 Our lead story today comes straight from the heart of the AI world. 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.879 And a warning that's already sending shock waves across the industry. 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:58.800 OpenAI's chief scientist, Jacob Pochoki, says the global race to build smarter and more autonomous AI systems has gone too far, too fast, and no one is prepared for the consequences. 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:00.960 That's right. 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:08.719 Well, he he kinda, you know, when OpenAI's chief scientist comes on out, it gets a little scary. 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.960 But let's now go more for Jennifer Merrick on this story. 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:15.840 Thanks, guys. 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:28.400 OpenAI's chief scientist, Jacob Pachoki, says the global race to build smarter and more autonomous AI systems has gone too far too fast, and that no one is prepared for the consequences. 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:38.080 Just days after OpenAI rolled out its new enterprise model GPT, Six Astra, Pachoki published a striking message on the company's website. 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:49.360 In it, he argues that AI development should slow down across the entire industry, not just at OpenAI, because machine intelligence is beginning to outpace human understanding. 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:59.120 Pachoki says today's AI systems present clear new dangers to computer security, especially as open AI experiments with recursive self-improvement. 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.639 That's where an AI helps design the next version of itself. 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:09.840 He says, without human oversight, we are in trouble, and a race between open AI and anthropic will cause a problem. 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:11.680 Now back to the studio. 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.399 That could never happen. 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.000 Well, according to Pachoki, the world has two real options. 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:30.319 One, strengthen alignment and keep humans tightly in the loop, or coordinate globally to slow development until safety measures catch up. 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:31.040 Yeah, yeah. 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:31.279 Okay. 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:31.519 Yeah. 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:32.480 You know what? 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.160 You know what we do with warnings? 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:34.879 What is that? 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:35.680 Ignore them. 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:36.000 We do. 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:36.959 Every time. 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.720 You know, you see a warning on something. 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:39.360 Don't do this. 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:40.160 And you know what? 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.000 The first thing that triggers that human emotion is, what if I did do that, right? 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:45.680 I mean, that's kind of a I don't know. 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.000 He's not the only one that's freaked out this week. 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:49.439 No, there's there's a bunch of other people. 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:54.800 There's a bunch of them that are saying that you know AI is going to exterminate us. 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.319 Yeah, it's interesting. 00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:57.439 And here's the problem. 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.040 You have two companies, right? 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.800 You have anthropic and open AI. 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.839 And then Google tries to pretend like they're in this space, and so does uh grok, but they're really not. 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:10.639 So you really have anthropic and open AI racing against each other, and they both want to be the best. 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:18.959 So what they do is they keep on releasing better and better and better models, and where they're not putting safeguards because they don't want to be the one that's behind, right? 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:25.439 The new GPT Astra is better than any of the Claude stuff that I've used. 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:34.800 It is it is just amazing, and it understands when you type in sentences, it actually has the logic and reasoning that it comes up with. 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:40.160 And it can actually think about okay, well, if you're gonna ask for this, you're probably gonna ask for these 18 other things. 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.399 And instead of asking you, hey, do you want to do this? 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:43.120 Do you want to do this? 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.600 It just automatically does it and says, These are the 18 things that I've done. 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.319 Is there anything here that you would like to change or not change? 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:55.600 And some of the stuff that they come up with is just like amazing, and you're like, Oh, that I didn't think about that, I didn't think about that. 00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:03.839 So the conclusion this is the dangerous version of Alexa continuing to ask me questions after I just asked for something. 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.120 Yeah, yeah, right? 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:12.160 Because you ask Alexa something or or your AI something, you say, Hey, where's what what time is this store open? 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:22.560 And it'll tell you the operating hours, and then they always, every single time, do you want to know more about this location or where what you can find here? 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:27.199 Yeah, so they keep on asking, and then if you say yes, then it'll tell you a little bit more and a little bit more and a little bit. 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:32.639 I have yelled and screamed and hollered and tried to get them to stop that, but they won't do it. 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:33.759 They probably not. 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.720 His conclusion is that we need both. 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:44.800 We need to have them immediately,

otherwise, so he put this out on the company's internal webpage that that we're in danger. 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.800 I don't know how he still has a job, but whatever. 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.199 Okay, I guess he's I guess he's still employed there. 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.319 So he decided to warn everybody at the company. 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.120 Um Are they really gonna fire this guy? 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.120 Hey guys, Skynet's coming along. 00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:58.319 Just want to let you all know. 00:06:58.399 --> 00:06:59.199 Just be ready for that. 00:06:59.360 --> 00:06:59.600 Yeah, yeah. 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.360 Yeah, he's like, oh, you're fired. 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.600 Okay, I'll just go over to Anthropic. 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:04.720 I'm sure they'll hire me. 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.720 And then the Anthropic will hire the other people. 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:07.519 It's interesting. 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:17.519 This is all the fallout from the hugging face breach that we talked about three weeks ago on the show, uh, where AI systems were kind of breaching other AI systems. 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:24.959 But the big question now is whether the rest of the industry will listen with companies racing toward the agents and self-improving systems. 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:34.319 Is the coordinated slowdown gonna happen or are they gonna continue to have their fast paced process so that they can be the leader and dominant? 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.639 I'm suddenly getting a prophecy here. 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.399 Nothing's gonna change, they're gonna continue. 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:40.160 You know why? 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:45.120 Because IPOs are coming on out and they need to be worth money and they don't want to be out of business. 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:46.240 People are stupid. 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.639 That's why people are stupid. 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:48.959 Yep. 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.360 Yeah, I think you're gonna say that more than once in today's show. 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:53.120 I say it all the time. 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.000 I I got a funny feeling that maybe people are stupid. 00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:00.399 But now hang on, but you're listening to us people, so you are not stupid people. 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.120 It's everybody else are stupid people, right? 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:05.360 The AI industry people. 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.040 I think that's what Mike's saying. 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:07.759 All right. 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:12.639 Well, we're we're we hey, yeah, we all make dumb mistakes every day. 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:13.199 We do. 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.079 All of us do. 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:14.879 We do. 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:19.040 And when money is the goal, it just makes it. 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:20.480 You're gonna make a whole lot of money. 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:22.000 All right. 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:22.560 Well, you know what? 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.000 Let's go to story number two. 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.160 Well, I have something that has nothing to do with AI. 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.319 That's you must be excited, isn't it? 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:31.040 That's amazing. 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.559 Okay, well, what do you have? 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.399 Scientists discover a new form of ice. 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:36.799 What? 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.360 Okay, which is hotter than lava. 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:40.000 All right. 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:41.440 Have you ever heard have you ever heard of that? 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:42.399 No, I've never heard of this. 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.159 All right, so I you know, we go to the ice box. 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:46.559 Yeah. 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:51.360 What we used to call the ice box, the refrigerator, the the freezer. 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:52.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.080 Most of us think that ice is something cold. 00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:02.960 The scientists have now created a new form of ice at temperatures above 2300 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than lava. 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:04.879 Okay, so hotter than lava. 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:13.039 So uh I I thought there was only like three states of in in in my biology classes, and there's solids, liquids, that's some that's some old stuff there, buddy. 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:15.759 That's just in basic science. 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.960 Okay, so you just answered your own question. 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:19.759 All right, okay. 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:20.639 What do we got going on here? 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.080 Because I'm wrong. 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:24.480 P O S. 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:25.360 People are stupid. 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:26.000 P-A-S. 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:27.039 People are stupid. 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.159 The secret uh behind this is pressure. 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:40.000 So reacher researchers squeezed tiny water samples between diamonds at pressures more than two million times the Earth's atmosphere and heated them with lasers. 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:41.840 Instead of turning into gas. 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:42.399 All right. 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:42.799 What? 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.639 So they had lasers shooting into this thing. 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:47.200 Yeah. 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:52.799 What? 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:53.600 Who thinks of that? 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:54.480 Okay, continuing on. 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.000 Okay, hey, let me get the lasers. 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:57.039 Let's aim it at that today. 00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:58.159 Okay, that sounds great. 00:09:58.240 --> 00:09:58.559 Okay. 00:09:58.799 --> 00:09:59.519 What happens? 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:01.519 No tactical pandas there. 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:08.080 Instead of uh turning into gas, the water forms an exotic material called superionic ice. 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.360 This strange state is part

solid and part liquid. 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:17.919 The oxygen atoms stay locked in place like a crystal while the hydrogen atoms move freely through the structure. 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:28.480 In the new study, scientists have discovered a previously unconfirmed version of superionic ice called hexagonal close packed or HCP ice. 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.200 As pressure and temperature increases, this new structure becomes a dominant form. 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:42.960 Now this matters because scientists believe that superionic ice may exist deep inside Uranus. 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:45.279 And Neptune. 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:46.240 Oh, okay, the planets. 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:56.879 Understanding this new version of ice could help explain the unusual magnetic fields that people that are recorded from those distant planets. 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:08.799 Now, why this while this sounds impossible, researchers have shown that under extreme conditions, water can become a form of ice that's hotter than love and may hold clues to the mysteries of our solar system. 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.720 Okay, maybe that's what happened with on Mars, huh? 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:19.279 Deep underneath there, maybe there's some that that's at the core of okay. 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:19.840 I don't know. 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.960 There's plenty of movies out there that can tell you what happened on Mars here. 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:25.519 What was that? 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:27.440 Does he play a sound effect? 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:28.399 Uh no, no, nothing. 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:29.200 Anyway, moving on. 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.399 Okay, I don't care. 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:31.039 All right. 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.320 Story number three. 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:36.559 NVIDIA's 10 billion AI bet signals where the industry is headed. 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:37.120 Here we go. 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:46.320 How big is the AI race getting while NVIDIA may be about to write a check that's larger than Europe's biggest tech funding round ever. 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:56.480 According to reports that we've received, NVIDIA is in talks to invest up to 10 billion in the AI company Anthropics upcoming IPO. 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:10.320 If the deal happens, it would help support a public offering aimed at raising as much as a hundred billion at a nearly two trillion of evaluation, potentially making this the largest IPO in history. 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:12.799 What's especially interesting is the timing. 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:22.480 Just days earlier, NVIDIA participated in Mistrolls, AI's record-setting$3 billion funding round, the largest ever raised by a European technology company. 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:27.679 Yet the amount NVIDIA is considering phantropic alone could exceed that entire round itself. 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:32.240 The move highlights NVIDIA's growing influence across the AI ecosystem. 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.960 The company just doesn't supply chips anymore. 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.399 It reinvests back into the companies that are buying those chips. 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.240 So this is such an interesting deal. 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:45.120 NVIDIA sells the chips for AI and then they reinvest into the AI company. 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:47.519 They sell the chips and reinvest the AI company. 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.360 So it's it's like a circular promotion of profit. 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:59.279 Yeah, look, so NVIDIA is going to end up creating you know they're gonna be an exterminating us. 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.639 See how money works? 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:14.799 So NVIDIA is gonna For the love of money, open AI has not been invested by NVIDIA yet. 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:25.279 As soon as NVIDIA decides to invest into OpenAI, then that we'll have the three largest AI companies that buy processors from them reinvesting into the companies itself. 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:32.559 So every single time they go out to NVIDIA and buy another processor, NVIDIA then just reinvests into that AI company and owns more and more. 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:42.639 Soon NVIDIA making the chips for the company with this process could be the global dominant owner of all three AI companies. 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.159 Okay, they can sell them the chips, they can stuff it. 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:47.840 So they invest it, right? 00:13:47.919 --> 00:14:00.080 So they sell them the chips, they invest into these companies, they then control the market because they put their chips in these companies, these companies have to buy it from them, and they continue to reinvest. 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.360 It looks like an AR AI arms race acceleration. 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.879 Nvidia is just there. 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:10.960 Picking up the shovel and taking stakes to the miners gold that's available. 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:20.879 I I sincerely want to thank NVIDIA for all that it's doing because I went I went online to check out prices for new laptops. 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:21.200 Yeah. 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.279 Double the price of what they used to be. 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:24.080 Yes, they are. 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:25.519 They are it's you thank you, NVIDIA. 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:35.360 If you buy a PlayStation 5 or if you buy an Xbox Series X, now they're$700 to$900. 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.200 I bought mine for$4.99. 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.039 Same hardware inside of there. 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.200 It's just the inflation of the chips. 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:41.759 Yep. 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:48.399 Pretty soon, pretty soon I'm just gonna go offline and then I'm not going to have any truck with AI at all. 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:51.759 I'm gonna I'm gonna have to go out and live in the woods and all the stuff. 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:52.960 You're not gonna do that though. 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:56.240 You're you're Alexa a girlfriend who would wouldn't handle that.

00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:05.839 I'm not sure that happens in real life, but I don't think so. 00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:12.799 I've never gone to a supermarket, try to buy a gift card, and say, you know what, I want to buy the$25 one, but we put$50 on this one. 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:16.319 But we're gonna put$50 on, and I'm only still gonna pay that the price. 00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:18.559 So it comes up to lets you choose the price itself. 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:19.519 It's like gambling. 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.000 You can just I'll put$50 on that gift card. 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:23.039 Well maybe I'll get it. 00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:24.319 So then you start clicking. 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:28.640 So so I I type in$100 because I'm gonna go for the the the maximum amount. 00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.680 And then I click next, and the page doesn't go anywhere. 00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:32.000 No. 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.400 And then I click next, and the page doesn't go anywhere. 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:34.559 No. 00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.559 So now so so now this is almost kind of a dumb criminal type of deal. 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:40.880 So first of all, you shouldn't be clicking on any of these things, right? 00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:42.160 Yeah, don't click on anything. 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:42.640 Stop it. 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:43.039 Stop it. 00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:43.839 Don't okay. 00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:54.319 So when you do that, but then if you really want to get somebody, you put them in this infinite loop where I didn't know what was happening, and I didn't know if I was gonna get the card or not get the card. 00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:55.039 Oh no. 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:56.799 And then it had at the very bottom. 00:23:57.839 --> 00:23:58.480 Do you feel my pain?

That's right. 00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.319 Uh, not human interns, infinite interns. 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.680 Interns that don't sleep and they don't complain, and they never ask if there's free pizza in the break room. 00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:47.279 So they're probably going to be. 00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:51.680 Isn't that like a Silicon Valley dream right there that your workers don't complain? 00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:54.640 Everybody's dream. 00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:55.519 Okay. 00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:01.920 We all think we all have this idea that people that are building businesses do it to help people get jobs. 00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:02.559 That's not true. 00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:05.200 Because if they could do the work without people, they would do that. 00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:05.599 Okay. 00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:06.720 So we see that every day. 00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:11.519 So now the gangs and cyber criminals are are doing the same thing, so yeah, well, yeah. 00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:13.920 That's kind of that's kind of a non-starter, right? 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.240 We already know who's gonna use this. 00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:22.000 Cyber criminal gangs are using this stuff for research, planning, writing, and analysis. 00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:27.839 At this point, AI has become the most overclaw overqualified employee in organized crime. 00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:35.599 The AI companies keep telling us, yeah, yeah, yeah, AI is just a tool that's gonna come and exterminate us one day, but hey. 00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:37.599 And I agree. 00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:40.559 I do use it. 00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:43.599 I'm not gonna sit here and say that I don't use AI. 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:44.000 Okay. 00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.880 But let's not pretend this is a hammer. 00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:47.279 Okay? 00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:50.319 This is more like a Swiss Army knife with a PhD. 00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:54.720 Access to the entire internet and a healthy desire to be helpful. 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:58.559 The funniest part is everyone keeps talking about artificial intelligence. 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:01.279 The real risk might be artificial competence. 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:09.360 For centuries being a criminal required effort, now apparently all you need is a Wi-Fi signal and and some confidence in your typing ability. 00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:09.760 Okay? 00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:12.719 Every IA company is the same message. 00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:14.559 We've built guardrails. 00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:16.480 Fantastic. 00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:22.639 Because history shows that humans absolutely love respecting guardrails. 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:27.199 Nobody has ever ignored a warning label. 00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:27.920 Oh no. 00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:29.039 Never. 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:31.119 Yep. 00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:36.159 That's why your hair dryer has a label on it that says, Don't use this in a shower. 00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:37.360 Or or a bathtub. 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:37.519 Right. 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:38.159 Or a bathtub. 00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:39.760 Because people have done it. 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:40.159 Yeah. 00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:43.199 Nobody has ever bypassed a security controller. 00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:48.000 Nobody has ever looked at a restriction and thought, hmm, challenge accepted. 00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:53.760 What makes this story interesting isn't that AI is becoming evil, because it is. 00:34:54.960 --> 00:35:01.519 It's that AI is becoming available to everyone, which includes the good guys, the bad guys, and the weird guys. 00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:02.719 Let's be honest. 00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:09.280 The internet has never exactly struggled to produce weird guys, and cyber criminals are as bad as it gets. 00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:15.679 So the takeaway is I'm not worried that AI will become self-aware. 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:16.800 I'm not? 00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:18.000 I guess not. 00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:18.320 Okay. 00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:20.320 I'm just reading the script, buddy. 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.599 I'm worried that it keeps making humans more efficient. 00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:24.639 No, no. 00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:28.559 I I I uh I don't know if I agree with those statements. 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:34.800 Because if you spend enough time in cybersecurity, you know the scariest thing in technology has never been the machines. 00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:36.480 It's the people using them. 00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:37.840 Yeah, I say this all the time, right?
