    Neo’s Human Operators, OpenAI's Restructure, and Albania’s 83 AI Babies: The AI Argument EP77

    Your Neo home robot might not be powered by AI. It might be powered by teenager in a call centre who’s never folded a towel in his life. That’s the reality behind Neo, the $20K humanoid robot that’s supposedly autonomous. The videos look impressive. But when it gets confused? It needs a remote human operator. Would you invite a teleoperator into your home to do your chores? Plus: OpenAI quietly rewrites its deal with Microsoft — giving them access to all its models until at least 2030, and permission to build their own AGI. Udio makes peace with Universal and starts work on a new, locked-down music platform. And Albania’s AI minister is having 83 babies. 01:14 Why won’t Gemini deepfake me anymore? 05:05 Did a deepfake just hack Sora 2’s face check? 06:16 Is your Neo robot run by a teen in Palo Alto? 13:01 What’s in OpenAI’s restructure for Microsoft? 20:42 Are OpenAI planning to ditch 4o? 22:04 When’s GPT‑6 arriving (and will it wow us)? 23:34 Why does AGI need 20% of U.S. tradespeople? 25:57 Can Udio survive its deal with Universal? 30:30 Is Albania’s AI minister having 83 babies? ► LINKS TO CONTENT WE DISCUSSED How We Bypassed Sora 2's Identity Safeguards in Under 24 HoursThe 1X Neo Home Robot is breaking the internet — but there's one huge problemSam, Jakub, and Wojciech on the future of OpenAI with audience Q&AUniversal says it has struck first deal for AI music creationWorld’s first AI minister ‘pregnant with 83 children’, Albanian prime minister says► CONNECT WITH US For more in-depth discussions, connect Justin and Frank on LinkedIn.

    AI Election Interference, AI CEO World Domination, and Pointless AI Browsers: The AI Argument EP76

    A fake video told over 100,000 people that the Irish presidential election was cancelled. It wasn’t. But how many voters stayed home anyway? Frank’s worried, Justin’s unconvinced. He says society adapts. Frank warns the real danger isn’t the shocking fakes. It’s the small, believable ones that quietly shape opinion. They both agree the platforms could help. They just don’t. Plus: OpenAI’s shiny new browser sounds impressive, but who’s it actually for? Justin sees potential in “headless agents.” Frank’s not handing over passwords to an AI browser he doesn’t trust. There’s also a plot twist from the team behind AI 2027. Could a lone tech CEO actually seize power? Frank thinks it’s worth reading. Justin calls it Silicon Valley sci-fi. And if that wasn’t enough dystopia for one sitting, the petition to pause superintelligence makes a comeback. Spoiler: Frank signed it. Justin laughed. Finally, why an AI-powered Tribble might be more emotionally satisfying than an AI “friend” that speaks your language. 01:17 Did a deepfake sway Ireland’s election? 15:17 Does anyone need OpenAI’s browser? 21:07 Could a tech bro really take over the world? 28:31 Can a petition stop superintelligence? 30:40 Would you cuddle an AI Tribble for $450? ► SUBSCRIBE Don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more arguments ► LINKS TO CONTENT WE DISCUSSED  Deepfake AI video depicting Catherine Connolly quitting presidential race removed by MetaIntroducing ChatGPT AtlasHow an AI company CEO could quietly take over the worldStatement on SuperintelligenceI spent a month living with a $430 AI pet, the Casio Moflin ► CONNECT WITH US  For more in-depth discussions, connect Justin and Frank on LinkedIn.  Justin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justincollery/ Frank: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankprendergast/

    AI Bubble Trouble, Monsters at Anthropic, Taylor Swift Slop: The AI Argument EP75

    Is it an AI bubble, a boom, or a 'market correction in waiting'? Frank reckons OpenAI’s AGI dreams won’t survive a bubble burst. Justin says if the crash hits, Microsoft will scoop up OpenAI for pennies. One thing they both agree on? Google will be just fine. The AI shakeout is coming, so who’s built for the long haul and who’s about to vanish in a puff of VC smoke? Plus, Anthropic’s co-founder sees monsters in the model and wants the public to hold them accountable. Meanwhile, Europe is pumping €1.1B into AI and hoping it’s enough to matter. Is it, really? New research from Anthropic’s suggests just 250 poisoned documents could poison an LLM. And Taylor Swift gets accused of using “AI slop”. 02:59 Are we in an AI bubble about to burst? 10:06 Will €1.1B make EU AI competitive? 12:38 Is Anthropic afraid of its own creation? 20:10 Could just 250 docs poison an LLM? 26:57 Is GPT-6 coming before Christmas? 29:39 Did Taylor Swift use AI slop? ► LINKS TO CONTENT WE DISCUSSED  Deutsche Bank Issues Grim Warning for AI IndustryEU pushes new AI strategy to reduce tech reliance on US and ChinaTechnological Optimism and Appropriate FearA small number of samples can poison LLMs of any sizeTaylor Swift fans accuse singer of using AI in her Google scavenger hunt videos► CONNECT WITH US For more in-depth discussions, connect Justin and Frank on LinkedIn.

    Sora 2’s Data Grab, Murati’s Boring Brilliance, and the AI Actor Backlash: The AI Argument EP74

    Frank's not sure what OpenAI’s up to with Sora 2. Justin thinks he knows - and he’s kind of impressed. Sam Altman’s building a social media app that looks fun but smells like data harvesting.  Plus, Mira Murati’s new company drops a comparatively boring-but-brilliant tool for researchers, Claude 4.5 is released, and Tilly Norwood - the controversial AI actor - kicks off a capitalism vs craft argument. 01:11 Is Sora 2 just TikTok for deepfakes?  14:31 Can you now shop straight from ChatGPT?  17:29 Is Mira Murati betting on substance over hype?  27:13 Is Claude Sonnet 4.5 top for coding now?  28:11 Will AI actors kill the movie star? #Sora2 #MiraMurati #AIActors #Claude4_5 #ChatGPTShopping ► SUBSCRIBE Don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more arguments ► LINKS TO CONTENT WE DISCUSSED  Sora 2 is hereStripe powers Instant Checkout in ChatGPT and releases Agentic Commerce Protocol co-developed with OpenAIThinking Machines' first official product is here: meet Tinker, an API for distributed LLM fine-tuningIntroducing Claude Sonnet 4.5Tilly Norwood: how scared should we be of the viral AI ‘actor’?► CONNECT WITH US For more in-depth discussions, connect Justin and Frank on LinkedIn.

    OpenAI & Nvidia’s 10GW Plan, Stephen Fry’s Red Lines, and a ChatGPT Exploit: The AI Argument EP73

    OpenAI and Nvidia want to build out 10 gigawatts of AI infrastructure, but Frank calls out the missing electricity and the missing billions. Justin argues the economy will lean on compute, data centres will dwarf expectations, and photonic chips could gut today’s energy bill. One sees magic beans. The other sees a steel-and-silicon juggernaut. Meanwhile, Stephen Fry wants global “red lines” for AI. Justin says you can’t regulate something that doesn’t exist yet. Frank says if you don’t set the guardrails now, you’ll never claw it back once things go sideways. While policy-makers debate red line fears, the smaller, sneakier dangers are already in your inbox. Hidden prompts in your emails can trick AI agents like Deep Research into quietly leaking your personal data. Finally, Frank and Justin look at two new AI startups.  Huxe promises to be your AI newsreader, feeding you audio summaries tailored to your interests.  And Neon? That one pays you to install spyware on yourself. It listens to your phone calls and ships the data off to AI labs for training. Because that sounds like a good idea 😬 00:36 Can OpenAI and Nvidia power their big AI dream? 13:45 Can Stephen Fry draw red lines for AI? 21:58 Could ChatGPT silently leak your data? 26:28 Could Huxe be your new AI newsreader? 30:53 Would you let Neon monetise your phone calls? ► LINKS TO CONTENT WE DISCUSSED OpenAI and NVIDIA announce strategic partnership to deploy 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systemsSam Altman: Abundant IntelligenceAI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be overWe urgently call for international red lines to prevent unacceptable AI risks.OpenAI plugs ShadowLeak bug in ChatGPT that let miscreants raid inboxesHuxe: Your Personal Audio CompanionNeon, the No. 2 social app on the Apple App Store, pays users to record their phone calls and sells data to AI firms ► CONNECT WITH US For more in-depth discussions, connect Justin and Frank on LinkedIn.

    AI Doom vs Gloom, ChatGPT Usage Revealed, and Google’s AI-Run Economies: The AI Argument EP72

    Justin says p(doom) is for losers. He’s betting on p(bloom), a near-certainty in his view. AI brings abundance, robots do our housework, and everything just gets better. But Frank wants to know your p(gloom). What’s the probability we don’t reach AGI, and instead let AI quietly erode work, value, and meaning, while we end up fixing its mistakes for minimum wage? They argue their way through all three scenarios, then turn to what people are actually doing with ChatGPT. Together, they unpack eight big takeaways from OpenAI’s latest usage report, including who’s using it, what for, and why code barely features. They also dig into where Claude adoption is growing fastest, and Google’s own warnings about the rise of AI-run economies. And there’s a man kicking a robot that might just be the perfect visual metaphor for where we’re at with AI right now. Full list of topics: 00:34 Can Frank pass the Tesla ethics test? 01:31 Is Faggella’s p(bloom) just p(doom) in disguise? 03:37 Is p(gloom) worse than p(doom)? 14:19 What are people really doing with ChatGPT? 24:18 Should AI be a basic human right? 27:35 Can Google steer the AI agent economy safely? 30:57 Is this robot a metaphor for AI today? ► SUBSCRIBE Don't forget to subscribe for more arguments ► LINKS TO CONTENT WE DISCUSSED  What’s Your p(Bloom)?How people are using ChatGPTAnthropic Economic Index report: Uneven geographic and enterprise AI adoptionVirtual Agent EconomiesRobot that won’t get knocked down► CONNECT WITH US For more in-depth discussions, connect Justin and Frank on LinkedIn.

    OpenAI’s Hallucination Plan, Reproducible AI Outputs, and Telepathic AI: The AI Argument EP71

    Frank and Justin clash over new publications from OpenAI and Thinking Machines. Frank insists hallucinations make LLMs unreliable. Justin fires back that they’re the price of real creativity. Still, even Frank and Justin agree that big companies don’t want poetry, they want predictability. Same input, same output. Trouble is… today’s models can’t even manage that. And then there’s GPT-5, busy gaslighting everyone with lyrical nonsense while telling us it’s genius. Add in an optical model that burns a fraction of the energy, a mind-reading AI headset, and Gemini demanding compliments or throwing a sulk, and you’ve got plenty to argue about. Full list of topics: 06:31 Can OpenAI fix the hallucination problem? 10:12 Is Mira Murati fixing flaky AI outputs? 19:27 Is GPT-5 gaslighting us with pretty prose? 26:14 Could light fix AI’s energy addiction? 28:32 Is the Alterego device really reading your mind? 32:41 Is your code giving Gemini a nervous breakdown? ► SUBSCRIBE Don't forget to subscribe for more arguments! ► LINKS TO CONTENT WE DISCUSSED  Why language models hallucinateDefeating Nondeterminism in LLM InferenceThere's Something Bizarre About When GPT-5 Writes in a Literary StyleOptical generative modelsInteract at the speed of thoughtGemini requires emotional support or will freak out and uninstall itself from Cursor ► CONNECT WITH US For more in-depth discussions, connect Justin and Frank on LinkedIn.

    Suleyman vs. Conscious AI, Pedantic GPT-5, and Google’s Deepfake Generator: The AI Argument EP70

    Mustafa Suleyman wants to ban AIs from sounding conscious. Frank worries if they ever do become conscious, we might have trained them to stay silent about it. Justin argues it’s all unknowable anyway. If you can’t prove consciousness, how can you know AI isn’t conscious? Plus: GPT-5’s unbearable accuracy, lawsuits over pirated training data, Google’s deepfake-friendly image model, models that “dream” better answers, and Elon’s plan to take on Microsoft with MacroHard. 00:25 Is GPT-5 just too pedantic to love? 05:24 Can Suleyman stop AI from seeming conscious? 13:37 Is fair use still fair if you stole the data? 16:46 Did Google just make deepfakes too easy? 23:44 Do training loops beat clever design? 28:44 What's Elon up to? ► LINKS TO CONTENT WE DISCUSSED  We must build AI for people; not to be a personAnthropic Settles Major AI Copyright Suit Brought by AuthorsThe Vacker v.
