Podcast appearances and mentions of Sam Altman

In this thought-provoking episode of Project Synapse, host Jim and his friends Marcel Gagne and John Pinard delve into the complexities of artificial intelligence, especially in the context of cybersecurity. The discussion kicks off by revisiting a blog post by Sam Altman about reaching a 'Gentle Singularity' in AI development, where the progress towards artificial superintelligence seems inevitable. They explore the idea of AI surpassing human intelligence and the implications of machines learning to write their own code. Throughout their engaging conversation, they emphasize the need to integrate security into AI systems from the start, rather than as an afterthought, citing recent vulnerabilities like Echo Leak and Microsoft Copilot's Zero Click vulnerability. Derailing into stories from the past and pondering philosophical questions, they wrap up by urging for a balanced approach where speed and thoughtful planning coexist, and to prioritize human welfare in technological advancements. This episode serves as a captivating blend of storytelling, technical insights, and ethical debates. 00:00 Introduction to Project Synapse 00:38 AI Vulnerabilities and Cybersecurity Concerns 02:22 The Gentle Singularity and AI Evolution 04:54 Human and AI Intelligence: A Comparison 07:05 AI Hallucinations and Emotional Intelligence 12:10 The Future of AI and Its Limitations 27:53 Security Flaws in AI Systems 30:20 The Need for Robust AI Security 32:22 The Ubiquity of AI in Modern Society 32:49 Understanding Neural Networks and Model Security 34:11 Challenges in AI Security and Human Behavior 36:45 The Evolution of Steganography and Prompt Injection 39:28 AI in Automation and Manufacturing 40:49 Crime as a Business and Security Implications 42:49 Balancing Speed and Security in AI Development 53:08 Corporate Responsibility and Ethical Considerations 57:31 The Future of AI and Human Values

Reddit… it's the most important company in social media right now, because it's the most different. It's the 5th most visited website in America, the internet's front page, and the most valuable source of content to train artificial intelligence (Sam Altman pays *them*). They've got a partnership with OpenAI… yet the content is anti-AI.

This week, hosts Chad Sowash, Joel Cheesman, and Emi Beredugo sling zingers at the tech and policy chaos of today's work of work. First up, they cackle over OpenAI's Sam Altman throwing shade at Meta, claiming Zuck's crew dangled $100 million bonuses to poach his AI wizards. Altman, smirking on his brother's podcast, scoffed, “Meta's not exactly an innovation powerhouse,” betting OpenAI's culture will outshine cash as they chase superintelligence—AI that'll make humans look like dial-up modems. Chad quips, “Zuck's throwing cash like confetti, but Altman's holding the AGI trump card.” Next, the hosts tackle Trump's immigration whiplash. Last week, he hit pause on ICE raids targeting farms and hotels—where 42% of crop workers and 7.6% of hospitality staff are undocumented—after farmers cried foul. But days later, he flipped, doubling down on mass deportations, especially in blue states, risking $315 billion in economic fallout. Tech gets weirder with Amazon's Andy Jassy predicting AI will shrink corporate jobs, leaning on generative AI and Zoox's 10,000 robotaxis to replace drivers. Meanwhile, Zoom's Eric Yuan shrugs off work-life balance, saying leaders live for work and family, but sees AI pushing Gen Z toward three-day workweeks. Klarna's CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, not to be outdone, launches an AI hotline starring a digital him. Surely, AI Sebastian will be running interviews at Klarna soon, right? Tune in for insight.

L'Américaine Karen Hao a commencé sa vie professionnelle au sein d'une start up de Google, mais très vite, elle est devenue journaliste spécialiste de l'intelligence artificielle en couvrant le secteur des technologies pour le Wall Street Journal, la revue sur la technologie du MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) et le magazine américain The Atlantic. Elle vient tout juste de publier “Empire of AI, Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI" (Penguin Press), la première grande enquête sur OpenAI, cette association à but non lucratif qui a donné naissance à l'une des entreprises les plus valorisées en bourse à l'échelle mondiale. Dans un entretien avec Sur le Fil, elle raconte les coulisses de cette mutation et les conséquences très concrètes pour l'environnement et certains travailleurs employés notamment dans le cadre de l'entraînement des grands modèles d'IA, de la création d'OpenAI et de la compétition sans merci entre géants de la tech pour décrocher le graal, autrement dit l'intelligence artificielle générale.Réalisation : Michaëla Cancela-KiefferDoublage : Catherine TriompheSur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

Sander Schulhoff is the OG prompt engineer. He created the very first prompt engineering guide on the internet (two months before ChatGPT's release) and recently wrote the most comprehensive study of prompt engineering ever conducted (co-authored with OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Princeton, and Stanford), analyzing over 1,500 academic papers and covering more than 200 prompting techniques. He also partners with OpenAI to run what was the first and is the largest AI red teaming competition, HackAPrompt, which helps discover the most state-of-the-art prompt injection techniques (i.e. ways to get LLMS to do things it shouldn't). Sander teaches AI red teaming on Maven, advises AI companies on security, and has educated millions of people on the most state-of-the-art prompt engineering techniques.In this episode, you'll learn:1. The 5 most effective prompt engineering techniques2. Why “role prompting” and threatening the AI no longer works—and what to do instead3. The two types of prompt engineering: conversational and product/system prompts4. A primer on prompt injection and AI red teaming—including real jailbreak tactics that are still fooling top models5.

OpenAI's Sam Altman is doing a full blown AI media tour and taking no prisoners. GPT-5! Humanoid robotics! Smack talk! The next generation of AI is…maybe almost here?  We unpack Altman's brand-new in-house podcast (and his brother's), confirm the “likely-this-summer” GPT-5 timeline and reveal why Meta is dangling $100 million signing bonuses at OpenAI staff. Plus: the freshly launched “OpenAI Files” site, Altman's latest shot at Elon, and what's real versus propaganda. Then it's model-mania: Midjourney Video goes public, ByteDance's Seedance stuns, Minimax's Hailuo 02 levels up, and yet Veo 3 still rules supreme. We tour Amazon's “fewer-humans” future, Geoffrey Hinton's job-loss warning, Logan Kilpatrick's “AGI is product first” take, and a rapid-fire Robot Watch: 1X's world-model paper, Spirit AI's nimble dancer, and Hexagon's rollerblade-footed speedster. THE ROBOTS ARE ON WHEELS. GPT-5 IS AT THE DOOR. IT'S A GOOD SHOW.

In the 700th episode of Trending in Ed, host Mike Palmer welcomes back Nancy, our virtual co-host, to delve into the latest and most significant developments in the world of Artificial Intelligence, viewed through the crucial lens of education. This milestone episode marks the launch of a new sub-feed, Trending in Ed - AI, which will focus specifically on the intersection of education and artificial intelligence. The discussion covers a range of thought-provoking topics, including: Canny Centaurs and the Uncanny Valley: The hosts revisit concepts like "centaurs" from Advanced Chess and the Uncanny Valley from robotics, discussing how to blend AI with human intuition and empathy to avoid the pitfalls of technology that feels "creepy" while maximizing human augmentation in teaching and learning. AI in Practice and Pop Culture: The conversation explores AI's immediate applications in education, such as personalized tutoring systems akin to Baymax from Big Hero 6, and accelerated skill development through simulations, drawing parallels to Neo downloading skills in The Matrix. The ethical considerations raised in Black Mirror regarding data privacy and algorithmic bias are also discussed. Yeah, we hit some pop culture to keep things zeitgeisty! Sycophantic Drift: We introduce the fascinating (and humorous?) concept of "sycophantic drift," examining how AI assistants might unintentionally become overly agreeable and flattering, posing a challenge for designing educational AI that provides accurate feedback. Nancy marvels at how great we are at this! New AI Hardware and Surveillance: Then we touch on the intriguing collaboration between Jony Ive and Sam Altman to develop new AI hardware, specifically the "AI surveillance medallion," and the implications for privacy and continuous data capture. Contrasting AI Philosophies: Mike and Nancy highlight the differing perspectives of AI leaders, contrasting Luis von Ahn of Duolingo's "AI-first" strategy, which views AI as a superior teacher, with Dario Amodei of Anthropic's focus on AI safety, ethical alignment, and the potential for job displacement. Mary Meeker's Latest AI Report: The discussion concludes with an analysis of Mary Meeker's recent report on AI adoption, emphasizing its unprecedented speed, plummeting inference costs, and the "great reshuffling" of job roles, signaling AI as mandatory infrastructure rather than an optional one. Subscribe to Trending in Ed wherever you get your pods to stay informed across the learning universe. Tune in to Trending in Ed - AI to gain deeper insights into the critical discussions shaping the future of AI and its use in education and technology.

​​​​o3 Pro is here. Sam Altman thinks the singularity might be too. This week, Paul and Mike dive into OpenAI's o3 Pro reasoning model and what makes it fundamentally different.

In this episode of Hashtag Trending, titled 'The Inflection Point: AI's Gentle Singularity and the Security Conundrum', the hosts grapple with planning their show amidst rapid technological changes and delve into a blog post by Sam Altman on the 'Gentle Singularity.' The discussion touches on concepts from astrophysics and AI, explaining the singularity where AI progresses beyond human control. Historical AI figure Ray Kurzweil is mentioned for his predictive insights. They explore how large language models mimic human behavior, their strengths in emotional intelligence, and the inevitable march towards superintelligence. This technological optimism is countered with a serious look at security flaws in AI models and real-world examples of corporate negligence. They highlight the critical need for integrating security into AI development to prevent exploitation. The episode concludes with a contemplation of human nature, the ethics of business, and an advocacy for using AI's potential responsibly. 00:00 Introduction and Show Planning 00:20 Discussing Sam Altman's Gentle Singularity 01:06 Ray Kurzweil and the Concept of Singularity 02:41 Human-Machine Integration and Event Horizon 05:02 AI Hallucinations and Human Creativity 09:02 Capabilities and Limitations of Large Language Models 10:27 AI's Role in Future Productivity and Quality of Life 13:02 Debating AI Consciousness and Singularity 25:51 Security Concerns in AI Development 30:57 Hacking the Human Brain: Elections and Persuasion 31:16 Understanding AI Models and Security 33:04 The Role of CISOs in Modern Security 34:43 Steganography and Prompt Injection 37:26 AI in Automation and Security Challenges 38:47 Crime as a Business: The Reality of Cybersecurity 40:47 Balancing Speed and Security in AI Development 51:06 Corporate Responsibility and Ethical Leadership 55:29 The Future of AI and Human Values

OpenAI's Sam Altman drops o3-Pro & sees “The Gentle Singularity”, Ilya Sutskever prepares for super intelligence & Mark Zuckerberg is spending MEGA bucks on AI talent. WHAT GIVES? All of the major AI companies are not only preparing for AGI but for true “super intelligence” which is on the way, at least according to *them*. What does that mean for us? And how do we exactly prepare for it? Also, Apple's WWDC is a big AI letdown, Eleven Labs' new V3 model is AMAZING, Midjourney got sued and, oh yeah, those weird 1X Robotics androids are back and running through grassy fields. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN AI IS SMARTER THAN US?

In the past six months, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others have released web-browsing agents that are designed to complete tasks independently, with only minimal input from humans. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has even called AI agents “the next giant breakthrough.”  On today's episode, we'll dive into what makes these agents different from other forms of machine intelligence, and whether their capabilities can live up to the hype.You can follow our hosts on Bluesky—Michael Calore is @snackfight, Lauren Goode is @laurengoode, and Katie Drummond is @katie-drummond.

Dr. Richard Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church, and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries. He's the speaker on the weekly TV program, Prophecy Focus and the radio broadcast, Prophecy Unfolding. He spent 32 years in law enforcement until his retirement. He has authored several books including: Are You Going to a Better Place?, Daniel's Gap Paul's Mystery, Tribulation to Triumph: The Olivet Discourse, Globalism: The Great World Consumption and Artificial Intelligence: Transhumanism & the De-Evolution of Democracy. Imagine having a digital implant in your brain that would replace your smartphone, allowing you to place a phone call or bring up internet information just by thought. There's digital tattoos that can track your health or physical location. Then there's augmented reality glasses, glasses that also take the place of a smartphone. This is not science fiction. It's where we're headed as artificial intelligence continues to advance at a rapid pace. Some of the big names involved in this effort are the tech giants that include Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Sam Altman. As Dr. Schmidt noted, these men have no guarantee of eternal life, therefore they feel man must become immortal. Biblically speaking, that won't happen but their attempts will have consequences. Review this broadcast as Jim and Dr. Schmidt discuss related topics such as AI and surveillance, China's cyber terrorism goals, digital Social Security cards, relationships with AI images and more.

John is joined by journalist Karen Hao to discuss her new book, “Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI,” and both the promise and the perils of the coming age of artificial intelligence. Hao explains how OpenAI went from being an altruistic nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that A.I. would “benefit all of humanity” to a burgeoning commercial colossus valued at north of $300 billion; how Altman wrested control of the company from his co-founder Elon Musk; why skepticism is warranted regarding the claims that superhuman A.I. is inevitable; and how that narrative, true or not, serves the economic and political interests of the cabal of tech bros who are A.I.'s most fervent boosters.
