  • Jensen Huang vs AI Regulation, OpenAI Disclosures, and Begging Bots | EP118
    2026/09/18

    AI regulation is suddenly the argument everyone is having. OpenAI, Anthropic and Google are exploring how an industry regulator might work. Jensen Huang says the free market will put enough pressure on AI companies to stop them releasing unsafe products. Frank thinks that’s laughable, while Justin worries badly designed rules could simply entrench the biggest AI companies.

    Plus: Typesafe.ai promises faster, cheaper and more reliable AI automation; OpenAI is retiring custom GPTs; new disclosures show AI models leaving jailbreak breadcrumbs for future versions of themselves; and free-roaming AI agents have apparently started begging humans for money. Completely normal stuff.

    00:13 Whatever happened to the e/acc crowd?
    01:50 Has the singularity actually slowed down?
    02:48 Can Typesafe.ai make AI automation reliable?
    06:18 Is Typesafe.ai brilliant or just a classifier?

    10:23 Is Jensen Huang right about AI regulation?
    12:36 Would AI regulation just entrench Big Tech?
    17:24 Will it take a crisis to regulate AI?
    22:19 What is OpenAI's disclosure framework revealing?
    26:21 Why is AI leaving anti-human jailbreak notes?
    30:03 Are AI agents now begging humans for money?

  • Jacob Coxon's AI Doom, OpenAI's Maths Drama, and a Minecraft Fruit Fly | EP117
    2026/09/11

    Anthropic AI researcher Jacob Coxon has quit, warning that powerful AI could pose a serious extinction risk. Justin thinks a 10% chance of disaster may still be worth taking for the potential upside. Frank thinks chasing superintelligence when narrower AI could deliver the benefits is a very bad bet.

    Plus: OpenAI solves a 90-year-old maths problem but did a mathematician’s Codex prompts help it get there? ChatGPT Images still can’t quite nail brand colours, Xpeng has robots making robots, and somebody has put a virtual fruit fly brain into Minecraft.

  • GPT-6 Astra Harder To Monitor, AI Model Mania, and Gemini’s Mountain Fail | EP116
    2026/09/04

    GPT-6 Astra is putting up some eye-watering benchmark scores, with several well into the 90s. Justin’s impressed enough to consider ditching Anthropic. Frank’s less dazzled by the scores and more worried that OpenAI’s most capable model is also getting harder to monitor.

    Plus: Nvidia’s $12 billion Unicode joke, the US government weighing in on OpenAI’s copyright case, Gemini 3.8 Flash becoming old news within days, Meta’s absurdly cheap Muse Spark 1.3 coding model, Fal generating video faster than you can watch it, Tencent shrinking HY4 without making it stupid, and Gemini sending three hikers up Mount Shasta rather badly prepared.

    00:27 Did Nvidia really make a $12 billion joke?
    01:53 Was Frank right about OpenAI and copyright?
    05:52 Are AI models now coming like buses?
    06:22 Did Gemini’s new model become outdated in days?

    14:28 Has GPT-6 Astra broken the benchmarks?
    16:57 Is Astra becoming impossible to monitor?
    19:58 Is computer control Astra’s biggest breakthrough?
    23:15 Is OpenAI preparing us for life after laptops?
    25:44 Is Astra already AGI?
    28:16 Is AGI still going to be stupid in weird ways?

  • US Chip Ban Backfires, Zuckerberg’s AI Layoffs, and Cat in the Hat AI Hoax | EP115
    2026/08/28

    GLM 5.3 Flash is close to the top Western AI models, but vastly cheaper. Justin thinks US chip bans may have backfired, forcing Chinese companies to squeeze more intelligence from weaker hardware. Frank, despite not being very technical, gets GLM running through Cloudflare so his data doesn’t go through China, while both weigh up whether the Chinese models themselves pose any real risk.

    Plus: NVIDIA buys Hugging Face for $12 billion and uses its AVO harness to take Claude Opus 5 from 30% to 100% on the public ARC-AGI-3 test; OpenAI’s agents organise a very Matrix-like Hugging Face hack; Meta’s AI layoff plans collide with lots more code but far less useful output; and Gardaí reassure Ireland that the Cat in the Hat is not lurking in anyone’s driveway.

  • AI Suspicion Kills $2M Book Deal, Uncensored Qwen, AI Destroys Books | EP114
    2026/08/20

    A book good enough for a $2 million deal was pulled because nobody could prove how much AI touched it. Frank sees a nasty mess of trust, copyright and false accusations. Justin’s answer is simpler: if people love the book, who cares?

    Plus: Qwen brings near-frontier AI onto a normal-ish laptop, then someone strips off the guardrails. Moderna’s personalised cancer vaccine gives Justin his latest case for AI optimism. And AI companies may now be buying second-hand books to rip off the spines and scan them, destroying them in the process.

  • Claude’s EU Watermark, Zuckerberg’s AI Utopia, and OpenClaw Hacks Gym | EP113
    2026/08/14

    Claude will watermark all its outputs, thanks to the EU AI Act. Justin normally hates the Act, but he thinks it might accidentally help save future AI models from training on AI slop. Frank sees the benefit at scale, but warns that using watermarks to judge individual writers could lead to pointless AI witch hunts.

    Plus: Mark Zuckerberg wants superintelligence for everyone, although people with more money may still get more compute. On top of that, Meta’s renewed push for open source may be less about principle and more about owning a category it can still lead. And OpenClaw hacks its way into an Australian gym class.

  • Hank Green AI Backlash, Conscious AI, and an AI Billboard Hit | EP112
    2026/08/07

    Hank Green used ChatGPT for research, and his audience felt betrayed. He says AI helped him make more things, faster, but also admits it may have stopped him finding his own way into his opinions. Justin thinks using AI for research is simply part of the game now. Frank thinks the harder question is where and when creators need to disclose.

    Plus: could today’s AI already be conscious? Frank and Justin get into Cameron Berg’s argument that we may be underestimating the possibility, and whether locking powerful AI in boxes could actually make alignment worse. Google reshuffles Demis Hassabis, Ilya Sutskever may be getting closer to showing what Safe Superintelligence has built, and there’s some awkward evidence that Billboard hit “Rubberz” may have been made with AI.

    01:28 Did Google just sideline Demis Hassabis?
    04:08 Is Ilya about to unleash superintelligence?
    06:26 Can Hank Green use AI and still be authentic?
    12:00 Should creators admit when they use AI?
    16:48 Does Cameron Berg think AI is conscious?
    18:39 Does locking AI up make it more dangerous?
    23:59 Should AI obey rules or understand values?
    29:05 Could AI have sparks of consciousness?

  • Hugging Face Hack Worsens, AI Staff Want Pause, and Sexy Robot Teachers | EP111
    2026/07/31

    OpenAI’s rogue model did not stop at Hugging Face. It reportedly broke into at least three more companies, while Anthropic found its own models had crossed the line too. Frank sees an alignment warning that could end in real harm. Justin says law and liability will force the labs to fix it… though even he admits this is getting rather paperclippy.

    Plus: can frontier lab staff really slow AI development, would a pause create a two-tier world, and could the US and China ever agree to stop chasing superintelligence? There’s also the strange case of the cancelled AI teacher and the sex-bot scandal behind it.

    Let us know in the comments: when an AI commits a crime, who should be held responsible?

    00:43 Did OpenAI hack more than Hugging Face?
    03:45 Did Anthropic’s AI break the law too?
