Transcript excerpt

The channel description that I have had since the beginning, quote, covering the arrival of smarter than human AI, end quote, may have for many felt naive, laughable when it was first written at the beginning of 2023. But you might agree that despite models obviously still having glaring blind spots, that description feels a lot more apt as the weeks go by. pretty fair to say that there's just too much happening now for one human mind to fully grasp what's going on, let alone cover on a channel. Nevertheless, I'm going to try to cover AI models making discoveries that would have been labeled genius had they been made by humans and clearly how that capability is spilling over predictably into cyber security incidents making global headlines. Plus what the tumult at Google says about AI shaking multi- trillion dollar companies. Oh, and like 23 other things, maybe. Yes, I've human read full…
