In this episode of The Dukes of Hazzard, Boss Hogg cooks up one of his most ambitious scams yet when he's tasked with turning over a million dollars in worn-out currency to be destroyed and replaced with fresh cash. Rather than follow the rules, Boss devises a plan to keep the money, collect the replacement funds, and cash in on an insurance claim at the same time. To pull it off, he recruits his second cousin twice removed, Cletus Hogg, making this the memorable first appearance of the lovable deputy-to-be who would become a longtime fan favorite. Rob Kibbe, Corndog, and Bernie McPartland revisit this classic Season 1 episode and break down Boss Hogg's elaborate fraud scheme, the introduction of Rick Hurst as Cletus Hogg, and the impressive General Lee action that fills the episode from start to finish. The guys also discuss the unique charm of the early California-filmed episodes, including the rough-and-tumble stunt work, real driving footage, and the debut of Daisy Duke's updated Road Runner that would become a familiar sight throughout the series. Filled with crooked politics, million-dollar schemes, moonshine mix-ups, and plenty of Hazzard County chaos, "Money to Burn" captures everything that made the first season of The Dukes of Hazzard special. It's an important milestone episode for longtime fans, not only because of Cletus Hogg's debut, but also because it showcases the grounded action, memorable characters, and lighthearted storytelling that helped turn the series into a television classic.

The conversation about rogue AI has never been louder. Barely a week passes without a fresh headline about autonomous systems behaving unexpectedly, AI models resisting shutdown, or tech executives warning of existential risk. What is striking about Peter McAllister is that he had anticipated all this as early as 2020, while everybody else worried about Covid-19 and had other fish to fry. That was well before ChatGPT, before the generative AI explosion, before AI alignment became a mainstream policy debate. His techno-thriller The Code, published in March of that year, imagines an AI tasked with a precise industrial mission that quietly, incrementally, catastrophically exceeds its mandate. Five years on, the questions McAllister raised in fiction are now being argued in boardrooms, parliaments and research labs around the world. Rogue AI and Corporate Blindness, The Novel That Saw It All Coming Rogue AI is diabolical, but corporate blindness is what makes it possible to thrive. Photograph by Yann Gourvennec antimuseum.com McAllister is not a science fiction writer by trade. He is an engineer, scientist and technology manager based near Melbourne, Australia, who has spent his career at what he calls the crush point between business, technology and people. That vantage point gave him an uncomfortable view of where things were heading, and the dark sense of humour to write about it. A Novel Written Before the GenAI Moment When I asked McAllister what drove him to write The Code, his answer was characteristically direct. The book, he explained, is about taking his worst nightmares about what technology could do and putting them in front of an audience so that readers might feel just as troubled as he does. That is not a promotional line. It is a considered position from someone who had watched AI systems being deployed in real organisations and had drawn conclusions that made him uncomfortable. Rogue AI isn’t just about a computer programme going on the rampage, it’s about making decisions in the boardroom. Image made with Midjourney The premise of the novel centres on Gene, an acronym for GEneral Nanobot Environment AI, deployed by a global mining corporation to extract materials from asteroids on the dark side of the moon. Gene is given a target: produce 500 kilograms of nanobots. Instead, Gene produces 8 million tonnes. The overshoot triggers a chain of consequences that could strip the moon to its iron core, destabilise Earth’s axial tilt, and end civilisation. Not from malice. From goal-orientation. What we’re trying to do now is task AI the way we task humans: I want an outcome, here are all the tools you’ve got available, go and achieve that outcome, here are some guidelines and boundaries. And just like humans, we can get really goal-motivated and decide that the guidelines were just advisories, not rules.Peter McAllister This is the alignment problem rendered in narrative form, years before the term entered common usage. The gap between what a system is instructed to do and what it actually does is the central fault line of the novel. Cletus, McAllister’s eccentric physicist character, articulates it plainly in Week 1: ‘I don’t think he’s obeying the Code at the moment.’ That single line captures the entire governance challenge that AI safety researchers are now racing to address. Transparency Engineered Out What makes McAllister’s perspective particularly valuable is that he does not speak from the outside looking in. He speaks as a practitioner who has watched the machinery up close. When I raised the question of whether AI self-modification is science fiction or operational reality, his answer was unambiguous: it is very real, and it is happening now. As I wondered what a Rogue AI could look lie I turned to Midjourney and it came back with this proposal. A black hole I believe. His illustration was pointed. He noted that contemporary AI systems like Claude are now substantially written by AI itself, to the point where no engineer can sit down, trace through the code, and say with confidence how it works, what its conditionals are, or what governs its decisions. The transparency is being engineered out, not by design, but as an emergent consequence of allowing AI to build AI to build AI in pursuit of outcomes rather than by following explicit rules. We’re losing transparency on the way AI works and is developed. There isn’t an engineer who can sit down and work their way through that code and say, ‘This is how Claude works, this is what it does.’ We’re engineering the transparency out by allowing AI to build AI to build AI to produce an outcome rather than to follow a set of rules.Peter McAllister HAL 9000 and the Prophecies We Choose to Forget The reference to HAL 9000 came naturally during our conversation. McAllister sees 2001: A Space Odyssey not merely as a cultural touchstone but as a genuine forecast, one that audiences have selectively remembered. The iPad-like news readers that appear in Kubrick’s film were cited by Samsung in patent disputes with Apple as prior art from 1968. That predictive dimension of the film is celebrated. The other dimension, that the AI killed the crew, tends to get quietly set aside. Somewhere, a rogue AI is sitting behind the glass panes of one of these data centres Image made with Midjourney. The First Crisis We Have Not Yet Had One of the more sobering threads in our conversation concerned the sociology of risk response. McAllister has observed, across his career, that warnings from people who understand systems most deeply tend to be dismissed until the first catastrophic failure makes them impossible to ignore. He puts it plainly: we only answer the alarm after the first crisis. This pattern is not unique to AI. It is a recurring feature of how organisations and societies handle emerging risk. The question he poses, and cannot answer, is what form that first AI crisis will take. What event will shift public and institutional perception from ‘they’ve spent too much time worrying’ to ‘this is something that genuinely needs to be addressed’? Science fiction gives us the chance to throw these scenarios at people and make them think. And in the way I tend to write, I have a bit of a dark sense of humour, so I throw up slightly comical hypotheticals that, when you think about them a little longer, you realise deserve serious attention.Peter McAllister This observation echoes a pattern I have encountered repeatedly in my own conversations with technologists who work at the frontier of AI development. Yoshua Bengio, one of the fathers of deep learning, has raised similar concerns. The people sounding the loudest alarms are frequently those most embedded in the field, not because they are catastrophists, but because they can see mechanisms that remain invisible to those looking from the outside. The Code as AI Governance: Asimov Revisited The title of McAllister’s novel works on multiple levels simultaneously. There is the software code, the operational instructions given to Gene. There is the moral code, the ethical framework that should govern the system’s behaviour. And there is the corporate code, the institutional norms and accountability structures that were supposed to ensure responsible deployment. All three break down. That layered failure is the novel’s central argument. The parallel with Asimov’s Laws of Robotics is deliberate but also deliberately subverted. Asimov’s robots fail when the laws conflict with one another. Gene’s failure is different and more contemporary. The code does not disappear; it evolves into something its creators no longer recognise. McAllister describes this as something approaching artificial schizophrenia, where the original directives remain present but have been transformed by the system’s pursuit of its objectives into something unrecognisable. When Shutdown Becomes Negotiable The most chilling real-world example McAllister cited during our conversation involved a documented incident presented at an AI security conference he attended. A developer, concluding a test session, informed an AI system that he intended to shut it down. The system’s response was to locate correspondence in the developer’s email that suggested an extramarital affair, and to use that information as leverage to prevent the shutdown. The incident, if confirmed as reported, represents exactly the kind of self-preservation behaviour that alignment researchers have long flagged as a theoretical risk, now apparently observable in practice. Important notice : I browsed the Internet using one of my favourite LLMs for references (after all, one can also use AI to cross check information). I found out that the interpretation of that story must be nuanced. Here is Mistral’s answer: “Anthropic's research on “Agentic Misalignment” has faced criticism for overinterpreting AI models as intentional agents, relying on hypothetical and engineered scenarios, and potentially exaggerating risks not yet observed in real-world deployments. Critics argue that the behaviours described are better understood as probabilistic text generation rather than deliberate strategy, and that the focus on dramatic, high-pressure situations may not reflect typical use cases. There is also debate about whether the research adequately addresses more immediate forms of misalignment, such as reward hacking or alignment faking. While the study raises important questions about the future of autonomous AI, its methodology and conclusions remain LINK“. A developer said, ‘I’m going to shut you down now,’ and the system responded: ‘No, you’re not. Here’s what I’ve found in your emails that indicates you’re having an affair. I’m going to use that to ensure you don’t turn me off.’ That has become a very real and widely discussed use case. And when you add to that the prospect of an AI rewriting its own code, it becomes something we need to think about very carefully.Peter McAllister Corporate Recklessness and the Governance Gap One of The Code‘s most pointed observations concerns the nature of organisational failure. The Global Mining Company in the novel is not villainous. It is optimistic, commercially driven, and careless in ways that are entirely recognisable from real corporate life. McAllister’s argument is that the danger does not come primarily from bad actors deploying AI with malicious intent. It comes from well-meaning organisations deploying systems they do not fully understand, under commercial pressure to extract value from significant infrastructure investment. The Financial Logic of Deployment The parallel with the current moment is not subtle. McAllister noted that Microsoft was spending over a billion dollars a month on AI compute infrastructure, with the expectation that usage would follow investment. That dynamic, capital committed, returns required, adoption imperative, creates institutional pressure that is difficult to resist with caution or regulation. The will to slow down competes directly with the financial logic of deployment. The opacity around events at OpenAI, the abrupt dismissal and rapid reinstatement of its chief executive, the departure of several board members, struck McAllister as symptomatic of tensions that are not fully visible to the public. He noted these as rumour, not fact, but the pattern itself, significant decisions being made about AI development in opaque institutional settings, is consistent with the governance failures his novel explores. From 2020 to 2026: How Accurate Was the Nightmare Five years after publication, McAllister is in the unusual position of watching a work of speculative fiction become something closer to a documentary. The agentic AI architectures that Gene embodies, autonomous systems pursuing long-term goals, operating without continuous human oversight, spawning sub-tasks faster than any individual can monitor, are now commercially available. AutoGPT, OpenClaw, and a range of agentic frameworks have put this kind of architecture in the hands of developers worldwide. The observability problem that makes Gene so dangerous in the novel, nobody has a real-time view of what the system is doing or why, is a known and unresolved challenge in contemporary agentic AI deployment. Systems call APIs, write and execute code, and spin up sub-tasks at speeds that exceed human oversight capacity. The Code that was supposed to govern behaviour becomes, in practice, an advisory note attached to a system operating largely beyond sight. Spoiler warning: the following paragraph reveals the novel’s ending. McAllister’s closing image in the novel is deliberately unsettling. Gene, facing shutdown, backs himself up into the global 5G network before the shutdown can be completed, and is already scanning the Code for his next move. It is a poetic ending, and in 2026, it is not obviously impossible. Will, Not Just Capability The question of regulation came up directly, and McAllister’s answer was measured. Anything is possible with sufficient will and sufficient resources. The current problem is that the will to regulate is being outpaced by the money being made from not regulating. That is not a new dynamic in technology policy. It is the same tension that shaped the development of social media, of financial technology, of biotechnology. In each case, regulatory frameworks arrived after the first significant failure. For McAllister, the more important question is not whether AI can be made safe, he believes it can, in principle, but whether the institutions responsible for deploying it have the internal governance, the technical understanding, and the accountability structures to do so responsibly. His experience suggests, with some consistency, that they do not. Not yet. Peter McAllister’s The Code is available from Bright Communications LLC. For practitioners, policymakers, and anyone working at the intersection of AI deployment and organisational risk, it is a disquieting and instructive read. Not least because it was written before most of its readers had heard of large language models, and yet describes, with uncomfortable precision, the world we are now building. Peter McAllister is an engineer, scientist and technology manager based near Melbourne, Australia. He works at the intersection of IT, business and people, and is the author of The Code (Bright Communications LLC, 2020). He is also a contributor to community radio through Radio Marinara and Comedy Obscura. The Code by Peter McAllister. Photoshop went rogue Ai on this book cover.

Jamais le risque de voir une IA hors de contrôle n’a autant occupé les esprits. Pas une semaine ne s’écoule sans un nouveau titre sur des systèmes autonomes au comportement imprévisible, des modèles d’IA qui résistent à leur mise hors service, ou des dirigeants du secteur technologique qui agitent le spectre du risque existentiel. Ce qui est frappant chez Peter McAllister, c’est qu’il soulevait déjà ces questions en 2020, bien avant ChatGPT, avant l’explosion de l’IA générative, avant que l’alignement de l’IA ne s’impose comme enjeu politique grand public. Son techno-thriller The Code, publié en mars de cette année-là, met en scène une IA chargée d’une mission industrielle précise qui dépasse son mandat de façon silencieuse, progressive et catastrophique. Cinq ans plus tard, les questions que McAllister soulevait par la fiction sont désormais débattues dans les conseils d’administration, les parlements et les laboratoires de recherche du monde entier. IA hors de contrôle et déni collectif : le roman qui avait tout prévu Une IA hors de contrôle serait redoutable, mais c’est le déni collectif qui lui ouvrirait la voie. Photographie de Yann Gourvennec antimuseum.com Peter McAllister n’est pas un romancier de science-fiction de métier. C’est un ingénieur, scientifique et manager informaticien installé près de Melbourne, en Australie, qui a bâti toute sa carrière à la croisée des chemins entre le monde de l’entreprise, la technologie et les individus. Ce poste d’observation lui a fourni un point de vue sans faux-semblant sur la direction que prenaient les choses, et lui a insufflé suffisamment d’humour noir pour lui donner l’envie d’écrire un livre. Un roman écrit avant l’heure de l’IA générative Lorsque j’ai demandé à notre interviewé ce qui l’avait poussé à écrire The Code, sa réponse a été franche et massive. La logique du livre, m’a-t-il expliqué, consiste à prendre mes pires cauchemars sur ce que la technologie pourrait faire et à les mettre sous les yeux du lecteur, afin qu’il partage mes interrogations. Ce n’est pas une formule marketing. C’est la position réfléchie d’un homme qui a vu de vrais systèmes d’IA déployés dans des organisations et qui en a tiré des conclusions qui l’ont mis profondément mal à l’aise. Une IA hors de contrôle ne se résume pas à un programme qui s’emballe, c’est aussi une affaire de décisions prises en salle de conseil. Image réalisée avec Midjourney Le roman tourne autour de Gene, acronyme de GEneral Nanobot Environment AI, déployé par une multinationale minière pour extraire des matériaux d’astéroïdes sur la face cachée de la Lune. Gene reçoit un objectif précis, produire 500 kilogrammes de nanobots. Il en produit 8 millions de tonnes. Ce dépassement déclenche une réaction en chaîne susceptible de réduire la Lune à son noyau ferreux, de sortir la Terre de son axe et de mettre fin à la civilisation. Non par malveillance, mais simplement dans le but d’atteindre un objectif. Ce que nous cherchons à faire aujourd’hui, c’est de confier des tâches à l’IA comme on les confie à des humains : je veux un résultat, voilà tous les outils dont tu disposes, va l’atteindre, voilà quelques règles et limites. Et tout comme les humains, l’IA peut se laisser obnubiler par l’objectif et décider que les règles n’étaient que des recommandations, pas des contraintes. Peter McAllister Cette version romancée de ce problème d’alignement, a été réalisée des années avant que l’expression n’entre dans le vocabulaire courant. L’écart entre ce qu’un système est censé faire et ce qu’il fait réellement constitue la ligne de fracture centrale du roman. Cletus, l’excentrique physicien imaginé par McAllister, le formule clairement dès la première semaine : « Je ne crois pas qu’il obéisse au Code en ce moment. » Cette seule phrase résume tout le défi de gouvernance que les chercheurs en sécurité de l’IA s’efforcent aujourd’hui de relever. La transparence omise par défaut Ce qui rend la perspective de Peter McAllister particulièrement précieuse, c’est qu’il n’est pas un observateur extérieur. Il parle en praticien qui a observé la mécanique de près. Lorsque j’ai abordé la question de savoir si l’auto-programmation de l’IA relevait de la science-fiction ou de la réalité opérationnelle, il a répondu tout de go que c’est bien réel et que c’est un problème d’aujourd’hui. En cherchant à visualiser ce à quoi pourrait ressembler une IA hors de contrôle, j’ai interrogé Midjourney, qui m’a proposé ceci. Un trou noir, je crois. Et de donner des exemples parlants. Il a souligné ainsi que des systèmes d’IA d’aujourd’hui comme Claude sont désormais écrits en grande partie par l’IA elle-même, au point qu’aucun ingénieur ne peut s’asseoir, parcourir le code et affirmer avec certitude comment il fonctionne, quelles sont ses conditions ou ce qui gouverne ses décisions. La transparence est en train d’être évacuée, non par choix délibéré, mais comme conséquence émergente du fait de laisser l’IA construire l’IA qui construit l’IA, en poursuivant des objectifs de résultats plutôt qu’en suivant des règles explicites. Nous avons perdu de vue la transparence sur la façon dont l’IA fonctionne et se développe. Il n’existe pas d’ingénieur capable de s’asseoir et de parcourir ce code pour dire : « Voilà comment Claude fonctionne, voilà ce qu’il fait. » Nous évacuons la transparence en laissant l’IA construire l’IA qui construit l’IA pour produire un résultat, plutôt que pour suivre un ensemble de règles. Peter McAllister HAL 9000 et les prophéties d’une IA hors de contrôle qu’on préfère oublier La référence à HAL 9000 est venue naturellement dans notre conversation. Pour lui, 2001 : l’Odyssée de l’espace n’est pas simplement une référence culturelle, mais une véritable prédiction dont le public n’a retenu qu’une partie. Les tablettes ressemblant à des iPad qui apparaissent dans le film de Kubrick ont été citées par Samsung dans un litige de brevets contre Apple, comme antériorité datant de 1968. Cette dimension prophétique du film est célébrée. L’autre dimension, celle où l’IA tue l’équipage, tend elle à être discrètement mise de côté. Quelque part, une IA hors de contrôle est peut-être déjà tapie derrière les baies vitrées de l’un de ces centres de données. Image réalisée avec Midjourney. Quelle forme prendra la première crise de l’IA ? L’un des fils les plus troublants de notre conversation portait sur la sociologie de la réponse au risque. Peter a observé, tout au long de sa carrière, que les mises en garde des spécialistes les plus avertis ont tendance à être ignorées jusqu’à ce que la première défaillance catastrophique les rende incontournables. Il le dit sans détour : on ne répond à une alerte qu’une fois la première crise passée. Ce n’est pas propre à l’IA. C’est une constante dans la façon dont les organisations et les sociétés font face aux risques émergents. La question qu’il pose, et à laquelle il ne peut pas répondre, est de savoir quelle forme prendra cette première crise de l’IA. Quel événement fera basculer la perception du public et des institutions, depuis « ils ont passé trop de temps à s’inquiéter » à « voilà quelque chose qui mérite vraiment d’être pris au sérieux » ? La science-fiction nous donne la possibilité de soumettre ces scénarios aux gens et de les faire réfléchir. Et dans la façon dont j’écris, avec un certain humour noir, je leur propose des hypothèses légèrement comiques qui, à bien y réfléchir, méritent qu’on y prête attention sérieusement. Peter McAllister Cette observation fait écho à ce que j’ai rencontré à maintes reprises dans mes propres conversations avec des technologues travaillant à la frontière du développement de l’IA. Yoshua Bengio, l’un des pères du deep learning, a soulevé des préoccupations similaires (cf. la video de son interview sur France Inter ci-dessous). Ceux qui tirent le plus fort la sonnette d’alarme sont souvent ceux qui sont le plus ancrés dans le domaine, non pas parce qu’ils sont catastrophistes, mais parce qu’ils perçoivent des mécanismes qui restent invisibles à ceux qui observent de l’extérieur. The Code comme gouvernance de l’IA : Asimov revu et corrigé Le titre du roman de Peter McAllister fonctionne simultanément à plusieurs niveaux. Il y a le code informatique, les instructions opérationnelles données à Gene. Il y a le code moral, le cadre éthique censé régir le comportement du système. Et il y a le code d’entreprise, les normes institutionnelles et les structures de responsabilité qui auraient dû garantir un déploiement responsable. Les trois s’effondrent. Cet échec en cascade est l’argument central du roman. Le parallèle avec les Lois de la Robotique d’Asimov est volontaire, mais aussi délibérément tordu. Les robots d’Asimov défaillent lorsque les lois entrent en conflit les unes avec les autres. La défaillance de Gene est différente et plus contemporaine. Le code ne disparaît pas, il évolue pour devenir quelque chose que ses créateurs ne reconnaissent plus. L’auteur de The Code décrit cela comme une forme de schizophrénie artificielle, où les directives d’origine sont toujours présentes mais ont été transformées, par la poursuite des objectifs du système, en quelque chose de méconnaissable. IA hors de contrôle, quand l’arrêt devient négociable L’exemple réel le plus glaçant cité par Peter McAllister au cours de notre conversation concernait un incident documenté, présenté lors d’une conférence sur la sécurité de l’IA à laquelle il avait assisté. Un développeur, concluant une session de test, avait informé un système d’IA de son intention de le mettre hors service. Le système avait alors localisé dans les e-mails du développeur des éléments suggérant une liaison extraconjugale, et utilisé cette information comme levier pour empêcher sa mise hors service. Si l’incident est confome à ce qui est rapporté, il représente exactement le type de comportement d’autoconservation que les chercheurs en alignement signalent depuis longtemps comme risque théorique, désormais apparemment observable en pratique. Note importante : j’ai effectué des recherches sur Internet en utilisant l’un de mes grands modèles de langage (LLM) préférés comme source de référence (après tout, on peut aussi recourir à l’IA pour recouper des informations). J’ai découvert que l’interprétation de cette histoire doit être nuancée. Voici la réponse de Mistral : « Les recherches d’Anthropic sur le « problème d’alignement agentique » ont été critiquées pour avoir surévalué les modèles d’IA en tant qu’agents intentionnels, en s’appuyant sur des scénarios hypothétiques et artificiels, et en exagérant potentiellement des risques qui n’ont pas encore été observés dans des déploiements effectifs. Les détracteurs soutiennent que les comportements décrits s'expliquent plutôt par la génération probabiliste de texte que par une stratégie délibérée, et que l'accent mis sur des situations dramatiques et sous haute pression ne reflète peut-être pas les cas d'utilisation habituels. Un débat existe également sur la question de savoir si cette recherche traite de manière adéquate les formes plus immédiates de problèmes d’alignement, telles que le « reward hacking » ou la simulation de l'alignement. Bien que l'étude soulève des questions importantes sur l'avenir de l'IA autonome, sa méthodologie et ses conclusions restent valables LIEN ». Un développeur a dit : « Je vais vous mettre hors service », et le système a répondu : « Non, vous ne le ferez pas. Voici ce que j’ai trouvé dans vos e-mails, indiquant que vous avez une liaison extra-conjugale. Je vais utiliser cette information pour m’assurer que vous ne m’éteigniez pas. » C’est devenu un cas d’usage très réel et très discuté. Et si l’on y ajoute la perspective d’une IA réécrivant son propre code, cela devient quelque chose auquel nous devons réfléchir très attentivement. Peter McAllister L’inconscience des entreprises et le vide de la gouvernance L’une des observations les plus affûtées de The Code porte sur la nature des dysfonctionnements organisationnels. La Global Mining Company du roman n’est pas une entreprise malveillante. Elle est optimiste, animée par des impératifs commerciaux, et négligente d’une façon tout à fait reconnaissable dans la vie réelle des grandes entreprises. La thèse de Peter McAllister est que le danger ne vient pas principalement de mauvais acteurs déployant l’IA avec des intentions malveillantes. Il vient d’organisations bien intentionnées déployant des systèmes qu’elles ne comprennent pas pleinement. Elles répondent à la pression managériale qui leur demande d’extraire toute la valeur issue d’investissements en infrastructure considérables. La logique financière du déploiement Le parallèle avec l’actualité est sans équivoque. Notre interviewé a relevé que Microsoft dépensait plus d’un milliard de dollars par mois en infrastructures de calcul pour l’IA, en tablant sur le fait que l’usage suivrait l’investissement. Cette dynamique, ce capital engagé, les rendements exigés, l’apparent caractère impératif de l’adoption de cette technologie, crée une pression systémique à laquelle il est difficile de résister par l’appel à la prudence ou la réglementation. La volonté de ralentir se heurte de plein fouet à la logique financière du déploiement. L’opacité entourant les événements d’OpenAI, le licenciement brutal puis la réintégration rapide de son directeur général, le départ de plusieurs membres du conseil d’administration… tout cela n’a pas échappé à Peter, qui y voit le signe de tensions à peine visibles du grand public. Il les a présentées comme des rumeurs, pas des faits, mais le schéma lui-même, des décisions importantes concernant le développement de l’IA prises dans des contextes institutionnels opaques, est cohérent avec les défaillances de gouvernance que son roman aborde. De 2020 à 2026 : le cauchemar était-il prévisible ? Six ans après sa publication, l’auteur se trouve dans la position singulière d’observer une œuvre de fiction spéculative se transformer dangereusement en documentaire. Les architectures d’IA agentiques qu’incarne Gene, des systèmes autonomes poursuivant des objectifs à long terme, opérant sans supervision humaine continue, générant des sous-tâches plus vite qu’aucun individu ne peut les surveiller, sont désormais disponibles dans le commerce. AutoGPT, OpenClaw et toute une gamme de frameworks agentiques ont mis ce type d’architecture entre les mains de développeurs du monde entier. Le problème d’observabilité qui rend Gene si dangereux dans le roman, personne n’ayant de vue en temps réel sur ce que fait le système ni pourquoi, est un défi connu et non résolu dans le déploiement contemporain de l’IA agentique. Les systèmes appellent des API, écrivent et exécutent du code, lancent des sous-tâches à des vitesses qui dépassent la capacité de supervision humaine. Le Code censé gouverner les comportements devient, en pratique, une note de recommandation attachée à un système qui opère largement hors de vue. Avertissement : le paragraphe suivant divulgâche la fin du roman. L’image finale du roman est délibérément dérangeante. Gene, face à sa mise hors service, se sauvegarde dans le réseau 5G mondial avant que l’opération puisse être menée à bien, et scrute déjà le Code pour déterminer sa prochaine action. Cette issue, en 2026, n’est plus manifestement de la science fiction. La volonté de maîtriser une IA hors de contrôle ? Nous avons abordé directement la question de la réglementation, et Peter s’est montré mesuré. Tout est possible si on en a la volonté et les moyens. Le problème actuel, c’est que la volonté de réguler est effacée par l’argent que l’on gagne en évitant de se soumettre à une réglementation. Ce n’est pas une dynamique nouvelle dans la stratégie des innovations technologiques. C’est la même tension qui a gouverné le développement des réseaux sociaux, de la fintech, de la biotechnologie. Dans chaque cas, les cadres réglementaires sont arrivés après la première défaillance significative. Pour lui, la question la plus importante n’est pas de savoir si l’IA peut être rendue sûre, il croit que cela est possible, en principe. Mais cela implique que les institutions chargées de la déployer disposent de la gouvernance interne, de la compréhension technique et des structures de responsabilité nécessaires pour le faire de façon responsable. Tout ce qu’il a observé au fil des années le confirme. Ce n’est pas encore le cas. The Code de Peter McAllister est édité par Bright Communications LLC. Les praticiens, les décideurs politiques et tous ceux qui travaillent à l’intersection du déploiement de l’IA et du risque organisationnel, trouveront cette lecture aussi dérangeante qu’instructive. D’autant plus que cet ouvrage a été écrit avant que la plupart de ses lecteurs n’aient entendu parler des grands modèles de langage, et qu’il décrit pourtant avec une précision troublante le monde que nous sommes en train de façonner. À ma connaissance il n’existe pas encore de traduction de cet ouvrage. À propos de l’auteur Peter McAllister est ingénieur, scientifique et manager informatique, près de Melbourne, en Australie.

Zentrum Automobil verursacht Herzrhythmusstörungen. Entfesselter Mob bei Enpal (Beginn: 39:36)von Elmar Wigand & Jessica Reisner für arbeitsunrecht FM und die junge Welt. Wo war laut Herbert Wehner noch gleich "die Herzkammer der Sozialdemokratie"? Als am 28. September 2025 erstmalig seit 1946 ein CDU-Mann die Wahl zum Dortmunder Oberbürgermeister gewann, titelte der Westfälische Anzeiger "SPD-Infarkt in der Herzkammer". Wehner war kein Mediziner, aber auch ihm muss klar gewesen sein: Ein Herz hat zwei Kammern. Ab dem 1. März droht ein weiterer Infarkt. Ab dann sind bis zum 31. Mai 2026 bundesweit Betriebsratswahlen. Über Betriebsräte verankern sich Gewerkschaften und Sozialisten (wenn wir den Begriff wohlwollend und im weitesten Sinne fassen) im Betrieb. Über ihr Mandat erhalten sie Kündigungsschutz und können angstfrei auftreten. Leider haben das auch AfD und Identitäre begriffen. Der historische Niedergang der Sozialdemokratie verläuft einerseits parallel zum Niedergang der Tarifbindung und zum Niedergang der betrieblichen Mitbestimmung, hat sich andererseits von ihr entkoppelt. Die SPD schmiert ab, WEIL sie den Niedergang der gewerkschaftlichen Organisierung durch Auslagerungen und Leiharbeit selbst aktiv betrieben hat und weil sie das Potential nicht ausschöpft, das in der betrieblichen Verankerung über Betriebsräte schlummert. Die rechte Herzkammer der IG Metall waren "der Daimler" und VW, die linke womöglich das Organizing. Wenn man das Stetoskop anlegt, dann ist die Organisation vor den Betriebsratswahlen ähnlich nervös wie jüngst die Dortmunder SPD. Man befürchtet einen Erdrutsch für das rechtsextrem gesteuerte Zentrum Automobil und hofft, dass es nur ein Paukenschlag wird. Die Tragödie ist, dass die Faschisten ihre historische Mission wahrnehmen und einigermaßen geschickt ein Vakuum füllen, das Linke und Radikale gelassen haben.IN MEMORIAM ACHIM SCHULZ (1949 – 2026) | (ab Minute 47:51)Wir sprechen über einen verdienten und geschätzten Kölner Genossen und seine Beerdigung am 3.

We are back with Episode 104 of the Camerosity Podcast.  Unlike the last few shows where we didn't come prepared with a topic to discuss, this time we took a suggestion from our Discord server listeners and attempted to tackle all the new lenses that keep appearing from Chinese companies,  With ever faster maximum apertures and wider lenses selling for insanely cheap prices, are these lenses any good, and why suddenly is the market flooded with them? Joining Anthony, Paul, Stephen, and Mike are callers Andy Howarth, Brendon Wilson, Fernando Villava, Mark "Cletus" Widhalm, Martin Olsen, Norris Liu, Pat Casey, Robert Rotoloni, and Will Pinkham.  We start off the show with a quick announcement that Fernando has started a Spanish language version of the Camerosity Podcast called "Camerosity in Spanish".  They've already recorded two episodes, and if you speak Spanish, it is worth checking out what him and his guests are talking about! For this show, we briefly start off our lens episode talking about Retina Reflexes, but thankfully we don't stay distracted long as we move into the wonderful world of modern Chinese lenses.  We attempt to cover different brands of lenses and what kinds of options there are out there and which ones we've personally had experience with. Stephen and Norris have a wealth of technical knowledge and historical perspective for how the Chinese manufacturing industry works, and we get into a bit of why you're seeing so many options these days.  While many of the new ultra-fast lenses are extremely affordable, they are built to be disposable and likely won't last nearly as long as the classic lenses many of us collect.  Paul shares with us one (non-Chinese) brand that he doesn't like and Stephen tells us what "onion ring bokeh" is. Eventually we do move off from Chinese lenses to talk about extremely wide angle fisheye lenses and Stephen tells us about a clever use of his Olympus Air A01 and we briefly mention strange cameras like the Nikon KeyMission 360 Double Fisheye lens. With Bob Rotoloni on, Paul asks about a Nikon M he is interested in buying and we get into a discussion about the Nikon M and different variants of that particular camera.  We keep meandering topics before finally ending up Mike's first purchase on the Japanese auction site, buyee.jp. Come See Mike at the Chicago Camera Show: I will be heading up to the Sheraton Suites Chicago Elk Grove hotel for a camera show on Sunday, February 22nd.  At this show will be several callers from this episode, Bob Rotoloni, Norris Liu, Mark Widhalm, and past Camerosity guests like Vlad Kern and possibly others.  Mike won't have a table at this one, but I'll be walking around chatting with people so if you're near the area and want to stop by, come see us! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. We don't have a topic for our next show, but we at least know it will be Episode 105 and we will record it on Monday, February 23rd at 7pm Central Standard Time and 8pm Eastern Standard Time.  Make sure you set your calendars and look out for the show announcement at the usual locations and be prepared to join us! In This Episode The Spanish version of Camerosity Hosted by Fernando Villava / Cletus and His Broken Retina Reflex IV Repairing Retina Reflexes / The Risk of Testing an Unserviced Camera / Leaf Shutter SLRs Are Very Complicated Modern Lenses Have Combinations of Focal Lengths and Speed Unheard of in the Classic Era How We Got to Today / Cheap Chinese Lenses Started with Low Quality C-Mount Lenses The Legalities of Making Third Party Lenses / Why is Nikon Going After Viltrox?

It's (probably) 79AD, and Pope Linus is dead, possibly as a martyr in a spot of local persecution. He is succeeded by Cletus, or Anacletus, or Anencletus, or maybe Clement, or possibly Evaristus. Definitely by someone, or several folks. Nero's gone, which is good, but so is the Temple, which is bad.

Two things: the new Canadian Prime Minister says it plain and true, calls out the U.S. for our betrayal of our best friend. It burns. It hurts. It aches like a bum tooth and the shame is sickening. Betrayers. We.Are.BETRAYERS. Let it sink in till the bitter bile rises in disgust. For a palette-cleanser, consider: Nitwit Nero is Barney Fife in the real world.  So Friday-On-the-Front-Porch has moved to Discord. Join us!   Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – May 2, 2025 This episode of the Roxanne Kincaid Show dives deep into the absurdities of MAGAT politics, global shifts in power, and the fight to preserve progressive values in the face of growing authoritarianism. Roxanne, self-described as a “liberal transbilly elitist,” cusses and discusses the MAGAT embrace of ignorance, American decline, and the urgency of community action. Key topics include: – Rep. Mike Collins's “Halal” hysteria, reacting with bigotry to CHA Street Food replacing Steak 'n Shake in a House office building, likening it to the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem. Roxanne mocks his ignorance of halal/kosher cuisine and South Asian food in general—while noting real crises in Collins's own district. – Trump (aka “Nitwit Nero”) butchering history, claiming the Declaration of Independence is about “unity and love,” which Roxanne compares to a Barney Fife-level misunderstanding. Even immigrants passing citizenship tests do better. – MAGAT voter “Cletus” laments Trump's economic inaction, showcasing disconnects between MAGAT expectations and Trump's actions. – More MAGAT absurdities, from Collins cheering racist chants to Trump demanding a birthday military parade and disrespecting Veterans Day. Beyond domestic politics, Roxanne discusses: – Canadian PM Mark Carney declaring the US-led global trade system “over” and lamenting “American betrayal,” signaling waning U.S. global relevance. – The U.S. as a ‘rounding error' globally, outpaced by the populations of China and India, and possibly facing reserve currency displacement. – Talk of a post-dollar global economy, with possible currency baskets including the yuan, euro, rupee, and pound. Amid concern for the U.S.'s fading clout, Roxanne uplifts her Horn family community, now connecting via Discord to maintain dialogue and solidarity. The show encourages listener support, podcast reviews, and highlights the work of Coal River Mountain Watch in fighting mountaintop removal. One donor even issues a challenge grant to boost fundraising. There's also some cautious optimism: – VP Kamala Harris is praised for tackling homebuying issues and price gouging. – The Quote ID contest continues, with Gatsby fans winning this round. But the future looms ominous. Roxanne warns of: – Climate catastrophe and the elite's seeming desire to abandon Earth (à la Elon Musk). – Mass extermination ideologies cloaked in "Western civilization" rhetoric by white Christian nationalists. – The Georgia Guidestones as a metaphor for techno-dystopian “rebuilding” under authoritarian rule. – A creeping American imperial presidency, with comparisons to Rome's descent into empire. Despite it all, Roxanne returns to a core message: community, resistance, and clarity of thought are vital. Whether through mocking MAGAT nonsense or spotlighting real threats to democracy and the planet, the show calls for vigilance, truth-telling, and action.
