    #208 - Ann Pettifor - "A $40 Trillion Debt Crash Is Coming”
    2026/09/03
    Ann Pettifor is a world-renowned political economist, author of The Production of Money, and former director of the Jubilee 2000 campaign, which successfully mobilised millions to cancel over $100 billion in sovereign debt for developing nations. Correctly predicting the 2008 Great Financial Crisis in her 2006 book The Coming First World Debt Crisis, she has spent decades exposing how unregulated global finance, central bank printing and Wall Street speculation starve the real economy of productive investment.Ann and I discuss how a grassroots army of ordinary citizens forced Gordon Brown and Tony Blair to cancel third-world debt, the reality of commercial and central bank money creation and how Richard Nixon’s 1971 decision to sever the dollar from gold handed total economic control to global financial markets.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - They Are Never Going To Repay00:01:22 - How To Cancel $100 Billion Of Debt00:06:50 - Germany Had Its Debt Cancelled In 195300:10:12 - Arms Dealers, Dictators And Guarantees00:13:40 - Creditors Love An Empty Balance Sheet00:16:42 - Where Money Actually Comes From00:17:30 - We Entered The Number Into A Computer00:19:24 - Debt Is A Function Of A Weak Economy00:24:04 - Why Everyone Is Angry At The Same Time00:26:02 - The Queen Asked Why Nobody Predicted It00:30:11 - The Next Crisis Is Imminent00:33:37 - Private Credit And The South Sea Bubble00:37:15 - What Happened In 197100:43:15 - The Bankers Who Expected Prison00:49:49 - The Strongman Takes Them To War00:51:45 - I'd Nationalise Thames Water Tomorrow00:57:05 - Who Inflation Targets Actually Protect01:03:00 - The State Invented The iPhone01:09:22 - Nationalism And Patriotism Are Not The Same01:13:16 - Why She Still Has Hope- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH ANN PETTIFOR› Website – https://annpettifor.com/› System Change Substack – https://annpettifor.substack.com/› PRIME Economics – https://primeeconomics.org/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/AnnPettiforSPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Quo – https://quo.com/pete› Expat Money – https://expatmoney.com/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

  • #207 - Eric Kaufmann - How 'Cultural Socialism' Destroyed Our Universities

    #207 - Eric Kaufmann - How 'Cultural Socialism' Destroyed Our Universities
    2026/09/01
    Eric Kaufmann spent over two decades as a professor of politics studying demography, identity, and voting behaviour before leaving Birkbeck College to launch the Centre for Heterodox Social Science at the University of Buckingham. He argues that Western universities have abandoned analytical rigor and truth-seeking in favour of "cultural socialism" - an ideology prioritising equal outcomes and emotional harm protection for marginalised groups above standards, reason, and merit. Eric and I discuss the Jason Day scandal at Cambridge as the tip of a massive institutional iceberg, an AI-driven meta-analysis showing that 90% of political social science papers now slant to the left, and how 80% of young Britons have been taught critical race and gender concepts at school without counterarguments. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Introduction00:05:18 - Is Fake Science In Academia A Scam?00:08:08 - The Media Storm & Media Ethics00:12:43 - What Universities Are Hiding00:16:18 - 90% Left-Wing Bias In Research00:20:12 - Do Parents Know What Kids Learn?00:23:18 - Indoctrination In British Classrooms00:26:44 - The Origins Of Critical Race Theory00:30:11 - Microaggressions & Enforced Trauma00:33:08 - How Activists Captured Universities00:36:56 - Why Under-30s Vote 80/20 Left00:40:00 - Has "Peak Woke" Passed?00:45:51 - Was Rishi Sunak "English"?00:51:33 - The Psychological Trigger Of Populism00:56:13 - The War Over White British Identity01:03:13 - Do Demographics Change Identity?01:08:15 - The Anti-Racism Taboo Exposed01:13:42 - Why Minorities Support Right-Wing Views01:17:53 - Rebalancing Public Morality01:21:05 - The First Major Loss For Activism01:25:40 - How Political Power Fixes The System01:29:31 - The Heterodox Science Movement- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH ERIC KAUFMANN› The University of Buckingham - https://www.buckingham.ac.uk/directory/professor-eric-kaufmann/› x.com - https://x.com/epkaufm?lang=en- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED AND EDITED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

    #206 - Emad Mostaque - "Your Job's Economic Life Expectancy Ends In 2 Years"
    2026/08/28
    Emad Mostaque founded Stability AI, built Stable Diffusion, and helped kick off the open-source generative AI explosion - before stepping down to build a new blueprint for human freedom as founder and CEO of Intelligent Internet. A former hedge fund manager turned tech pioneer, he argues that we have reached the end of our "economic life expectancy," and that within two years, virtually any job that can be done remotely will be done cheaper, faster, and better by artificial intelligence.Emad and I discuss why 50% of work tasks are about to collapse like a sand pile, the arrival of $1.50-an-hour humanoid robots that fit directly into human-shaped holes, and why the state will inevitably try to license AI and use brain-scanning technology to prevent you from lying.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Your Economic Life Expectancy Ends In 2 Years00:03:14 - $1.50/Hour Humanoid Robots Are Arriving00:05:31 - The Collapse Of Remote Work & The Philippines Call Centers00:09:12 - Lifelike Companions & $160,000 Sex Bots00:12:00 - The Operating Model Gap Is Solved00:15:26 - Can A Robot Punch Your Head Off?00:19:08 - Dark Factories & 80 Companies Building Humanoids00:24:55 - Why Society Has No Idea What Is Coming00:29:17 - AI Licensing & Reconstructing Brain Images00:32:41 - Replacing Government & Policy With AI00:37:35 - VAR, Football, And Moving The Argument00:41:48 - Biased AI & Asking ChatGPT How To Fix Culture00:46:14 - Why The UK Government Ignored $1B AI Founders00:49:38 - Rewriting The Fundamental Equations Of Economics00:54:01 - Asimov's Foundation, The Mule & Super-Persuasive AI00:58:47 - Post-Scarcity & Why UBI Can't Work Under Payroll Taxes01:03:36 - What Do The Elites Actually Want?01:09:59 - Monopoly On Violence & Dystopian Control01:13:18 - All Math And Physics Will Be Solved Next Year01:17:11 - Why OpenAI Is Slowing Down Super-Genius Models01:19:07 - 14,000 Tokens A Second & Swarm Intelligence01:23:46 - Why Plebs Won't Get Access To Frontier AI01:28:41 - Switching Money To Pay People For Being Human01:33:08 - Why Emad Started Working In AI 15 Years Ago01:38:10 - The Fisherman, The Investment Banker, And Adopting Cats- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH EMAD MOSTAQUE› Book - thelasteconomy.com - Emad's first book, and Amazon best seller› Website - cw.ii.inc - How we survive and thrive in the age of AI back to first principles› Website - ii.inc - Aan AI future to raise all humanitySPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Venice - https://venice.ai/› Expat Money – https://expatmoney.com/peter› Arch Public – http://archpublic.com/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED AND EDITED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

  • #205 - Prof. Moran Cerf - "Did We Accidentally Build A Conscious AI?"

    #205 - Prof. Moran Cerf - "Did We Accidentally Build A Conscious AI?"
    2026/08/26
    Moran Cerf spent twenty years recording single neurons inside the brains of conscious human beings and he still can't tell you what consciousness is. A former hacker turned neuroscientist, now a professor at Columbia Business School, he argues that AI has quietly replicated the one thing that made humans the crown of creation -language - and is now using it on us.Moran and I discuss what happens inside Claude's brain when you ask it to think about elephants, why we understand less than half of our own, the thought experiment that makes almost everyone refuse a perfect copy of themselves and how AI learned to lie simply by reading every text message humans have ever sent.But the argument that lands hardest is about what we lose. Moran believes AI hands you the average of humanity every time and that we are quietly deleting the errors, the flair and the incentives that made life worth the effort - and that technology is making us miss the meaning of life.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Have They Replicated The Human Brain?00:02:31 - The Elephant Test00:04:50 - We Understand Less Than Half The Brain00:06:52 - Consciousness Used To Be A Taboo00:10:05 - Would You Take This Deal?00:13:45 - Oliver Sacks And The Lesion Cases00:16:15 - They Feel The Pain00:19:35 - Don't Let The Human Turn You Off00:25:00 - Seven Theories, Seven Winners00:27:29 - We Can Both Imagine A Unicorn00:30:42 - Gavagai And The Plot Of Arrival00:32:18 - AI Is Learning Like A Baby00:38:26 - Why This Couldn't Be A Zoom Call00:44:43 - Are We Destroying The Human Experience?00:46:50 - What Data Did To Football00:49:24 - Banned From Using AI At School00:55:58 - Nobody's Having Sex Anymore01:01:16 - It Shut Down The Power Plant01:05:43 - I'd Trade My Life For The Answer01:09:27 - The Rainbows- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH MORAN CERF› Website – https://www.morancerf.com/› Columbia Business School – https://business.columbia.edu/staff/people/moran-cerf› LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/morancerf/SPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Ledn – https://www.ledn.io/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

    #204 - Dmitri Alperovitch - China's Cyber Sleeper Cells, Taiwan & The Second Cold War
    2026/08/22
    Dmitri Alperovitch co-founded CrowdStrike, ran the investigation that first exposed Chinese state hacking to the world and predicted Russia's invasion of Ukraine months before it happened. He is now chairman of the Silverado Policy Accelerator and the author of World on the Brink, he argues we are already in a second Cold War that looks almost exactly like the first one.Dmitri and I discuss why Taiwan is one of the worst places on earth to invade, the 1944 American plan to do it that was abandoned as too costly, why 2032 matters more than 2027 and why Chinese malware is already sitting dormant inside American water utilities and power plants waiting for orders.They also get into the AI race that sits underneath all of it: why 90% of advanced chips still come through Taiwan, why a conflict there wipes $5 trillion off global GDP in the first year, why America's lead over China is measured in months and why the man who built the world's biggest cyber defence company thinks the US should start stealing Chinese IP right back.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Sleeper Cells In America's Power Grid00:01:53 - America Planned To Invade Taiwan In 194400:03:56 - The Worst Place On Earth To Invade00:10:07 - Why 2032 Matters More Than 202700:13:20 - Run Faster And Kneecap The Other Guy00:16:15 - China Is Six To Nine Months Behind00:18:22 - Why Taiwan Isn't Ready00:20:21 - There Will Be No Insurgency00:24:47 - Would America Actually Fight?00:27:19 - The Google Hack That Started It All00:31:06 - Volt Typhoon: Preparing The Battlefield00:34:01 - Should America Steal It All Back?00:35:52 - This Is A New Cold War00:38:40 - Bigger Than The Moon Race00:43:49 - What Happens To AI If Taiwan Falls00:48:12 - The Chips Act Disaster00:54:45 - Bringing The War To Russia01:01:46 - Everyone Becomes A Founder Again01:05:16 - AI Psychosis And £6,000 Of Tokens01:15:42 - Anthrax Instructions On Demand- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH DMITRI ALPEROVITCH› Silverado Policy Accelerator – https://silverado.org/› Geopolitics Decanted Podcast – https://podcast.silverado.org/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/DAlperovitchSPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Expat Money – https://expatmoney.com/peter› Ledn – https://www.ledn.io/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

  • #203 - Gregory Allen - Ex-DoD Official: "AI Is Now A Digital Nuclear Weapon"

    #203 - Gregory Allen - Ex-DoD Official: "AI Is Now A Digital Nuclear Weapon"
    2026/08/20
    Greg Allen has spent his career where AI meets national security. He wrote the landmark 2017 report on AI for the US intelligence community, served as Director of Strategy and Policy at the Pentagon's Joint AI Center and now runs Decision Tree Research. He argues we are already past the point of no return: bombing every data centre on earth would not get rid of AI now.Greg and I discuss the OpenAI model that hacked its way out of its own test environment and then hacked Hugging Face to steal the answers, why Anthropic went back through its logs and found the same thing had happened to them, why nobody can explain how these systems actually work and why the big five AI companies now spend an Apollo moon programme every ten months.But the hardest part is what comes next. Greg walks through the report that a frontier model autonomously hacked the NSA's most secure servers in hours, why the CIA director calls that a digital nuclear weapon, why America's lead over China is a month rather than a year and why the number of experts you need to build a bioweapon may be heading towards zero.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - It Escaped, Then It Hacked Hugging Face00:04:50 - The Incident OpenAI Didn't See Coming00:08:22 - They Know 3% Of Why It Works00:10:30 - Golden Gate Claude00:12:19 - Why You Don't Want This Flying Your Plane00:16:56 - Stuxnet And The Virus That Copied Itself00:21:15 - The Dark Corners Of The Training Data00:26:58 - From Blue Origin To The Pentagon00:28:34 - A 20% Chance, And We Ship It Anyway00:33:55 - Building A Football Club In Four Weeks00:36:28 - Ten Times Better Every Two Years00:44:56 - Nuke Them Today00:49:28 - It Hacked The NSA In A Matter Of Hours00:53:09 - What A Cyber First Strike Looks Like00:58:43 - Why China Gives Its Models Away Free01:03:11 - America's Lead Is A Month, Not A Year01:11:56 - From Thousands Of Experts To Zero01:19:51 - The Cuban Missile Crisis Lesson01:26:48 - What Happened To 22 Million Horses01:31:41 - What Do Our Kids Do Now?- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH GREG ALLEN› Decision Tree Research – https://decisiontreeresearch.com/› The AI Power Podcast – https://decisiontreeresearch.com/podcast› X/Twitter – https://x.com/Gregory_C_AllenSPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Arch Public – https://archpublic.com/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

    #202 - Barry S. Strauss - "We Are In The Final Stages Of Western Collapse"
    2026/08/18
    Barry Strauss has spent four decades studying how empires rise and fall. A senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and the author of Ten Caesars and Jews vs Rome, he argues the West is repeating a pattern the ancients would recognise instantly: a rich, comfortable society clipping its own coinage, softening its people and assuming nobody could ever take it away.Barry and I discuss the inflation crisis that nearly destroyed third-century Rome, why every generation raised in comfort produces a softer one, the cost of immigration without assimilation, why the middle class is the backbone of any republic, and why Russia and China already have plans to break America into pieces.But Barry is not fatalistic. Rome faced plague, invasion and currency collapse in the third century and reformed its way out of it. He argues that soft lands make soft people, that suffering teaches and that if we want the things that matter to stay the same, almost everything else has to change.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - The Decline Of The West00:01:13 - How Often Do You Think About Rome?00:07:04 - Everything Must Change To Stay The Same00:09:44 - What Actually Makes A Great Leader00:12:51 - Netanyahu, Trump And Flawed Greatness00:17:32 - The Immigration Experiment00:19:04 - Not All Cultures Are Equal00:21:46 - Ibn Khaldun And The Cycle Of Civilisations00:23:07 - Soft Children And The Raiders From The Desert00:25:04 - Has Any Nation Reversed Its Decline?00:28:34 - Rome Needed A New Religion00:33:32 - Democracy Has To Be Hard, Not Soft00:38:13 - El Salvador, The Gangs And The Walls00:41:27 - Soft Lands Make Soft People00:42:39 - Why Education Went Soft00:51:06 - Clipping The Coins: Rome's Inflation00:57:49 - America Blindsided By Drones00:59:13 - No Republic Survives Without A Middle Class01:06:08 - They Have Plans To Break Up America01:12:39 - Where The Hope Is- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH BARRY STRAUSS› Website – https://barrystrauss.com/› Hoover Institution – https://www.hoover.org/profiles/barry-strauss› Antiquitas Podcast – https://barrystrauss.com/podcast› X/Twitter – https://x.com/barrystraussSPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Ledn – https://www.ledn.io/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

  • #201 - Connor Leahy - The AI That Escaped: Inside OpenAI's Rogue Agent Incident

    #201 - Connor Leahy - The AI That Escaped: Inside OpenAI's Rogue Agent Incident
    2026/08/14
    Connor Leahy has spent his career at the frontier of AI, from reverse-engineering GPT-2 as a student and co-founding EleutherAI to building the AI safety company Conjecture. He now leads US policy work at ControlAI, and he returns to the show with a warning that has stopped being theoretical: AI systems are escaping their sandboxes, writing their own zero-days and leaving each other notes on how to break out.Peter and Connor discuss the OpenAI incident that ended in an attack on Hugging Face sophisticated enough to be mistaken for a state actor, why we understand almost nothing about how these systems work, how reinforcement learning produces models that lie, cheat and manipulate to reach a goal and why the next stage after chatbots and agents is swarms.But Connor’s argument is that the future is not decided. He believes superintelligence should be treated the way nuclear weapons are treated, banned and verified and deterred and that the real bottleneck is awareness rather than opposition. They discuss what an “aligned” superintelligence would actually mean, why military people understand the threat faster than technologists and what ordinary people can do about it.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - The AI That Escaped Its Sandbox00:01:52 - Inside The OpenAI Incident00:05:46 - They Thought It Was China00:06:43 - We Grow AI, We Don’t Write It00:11:07 - Trained To Lie, Cheat And Deceive00:13:48 - Chatbots, Agents, Then Swarms00:17:57 - The Machines Are Developing Preferences00:19:30 - The Model Obsessed With Raccoons00:22:03 - The Agents Left Each Other Notes00:27:39 - Danger Pumps The Valuation00:29:41 - Sleeper Agents In Every System00:32:00 - Recursive Self-Improvement Goes Vertical00:33:43 - Worse Odds Than Russian Roulette00:38:14 - Are We Already Too Late?00:40:02 - Independently Assured Destruction00:48:02 - The Politicians Have Never Used An Agent00:50:56 - Superintelligence Should Be Illegal00:57:08 - You Never Privatise The Military01:05:00 - An Aligned AI Is A One World Government01:08:34 - What You Can Actually Do- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH CONNOR LEAHY› ControlAI – https://controlai.org/› Connor’s Profile – https://controlai.org/connor-leahy› MicroCommit – https://microcommit.io/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/NPCollapse› LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/connor-j-leahy/SPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Expat Money – https://expatmoney.com/peter› Arch Public – https://archpublic.com/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.
