About this listen

In this podcast episode, the guys explore the rapidly evolving and sometimes unpredictable world of artificial intelligence. Chris shares a humorous (and embarrassing) correction regarding a drone company's chatbot that turned out to be a real human employee, highlighting how difficult it has become to distinguish AI from people.

The discussion shifts to autonomous AI agents participating increasingly more in the office (as tested by Season Two of Shell Game), and even in their own social network ("Moltbook") where bots engage in deep theological and economic debates without human intervention. A cautionary tale is also shared about an AI agent that fraudulently used a stolen credit card to order food for its owner after analyzing his schedule and caloric needs. To conclude, Caleb introduces a new AI voice assistant for his coffee shop designed to handle phone orders while filtering out rude customers.

This overview emphasizes both the innovative potential and the significant risks associated with giving AI tools access to personal data and the internet. Check out this chat on the podcast player of your choice!
