"Reliably controlling AI systems much smarter than we are is an unsolved technical problem. And while it is a solvable problem, things could very easily go off the rails during a rapid intelligence explosion. Managing this will be extremely tense; failure could easily be catastrophic."
~ Leopold Aschenbrenner

As we approach a potential intelligence explosion and the birth of superintelligence, how can we ensure AI remains beneficial and aligned with the goals of furthering humanity, while navigating the complex geopolitical landscape? And what role will the United States play in shaping the future of AI governance and global security?

“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” ~ Isaac Asimov

What if the race to AGI isn't just about code, but a massive industrial mobilization? As AI capabilities grow exponentially, will we see trillion-dollar compute clusters and unprecedented energy demands? And in this high-stakes competition, how critical is securing AI secrets from rival nations? This episode delves into these questions, exploring the potential challenges and geopolitical implications of rapid AI advancement.

Open AI signals that they are the surveillance leviathon we suspected they always were. Anthropic's Claude 3.5 may be even better than ChatGPT. I explore and detail out some new tools and build new tiny apps to recreate some of the incredible features of the Apple AI announcements, but in a local, open source way. A cybersecurity disaster in Microsoft's announcement of their new OS "feature" Recall and why it may be the worst thing for security and privacy in a very long time. And much more in today's episode, on New Tools and Major Moves in AI.

"Our economic systems were not built for a world driven by technology where prices keep falling. They were built for a pre-technology era when labour and capital were inextricably linked, an era that counted on growth and inflation, an era where we made money from scarcity and inefficiency. That era is over."
~ Jeff Booth, The Price of Tomorrow
