About this listen

In this episode of The AI Revolution, I sit down with Eric Hartford, the mind behind Dolphin and Samantha, two powerful open-source AI models shaping the future of artificial intelligence. We dive deep into:

  • The philosophy behind open-source AI and why Eric believes AI models should be free from baked-in restrictions.
  • The existential question of AI outlasting humanity—inevitable or preventable?
  • The coming wave of job automation and why Universal Basic Income (UBI) might be the only way forward.
  • The risks nobody is talking about—like AI-driven relationships and the future of digital rights.
  • Whether AI alignment is actually solvable—or if we’ve been asking the wrong question all along.


Eric brings bold, unfiltered insights into the future of AI, automation, and societal transformation. Whether you’re an AI enthusiast, researcher, or just curious about the next decade of technological change, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
