🚨449. Efficiently Drowning in Work🚨 We talk about two big studies into the effects of AI on workloads, which show with in-depth empirical detail how AI intensifies and expands labor, rather than lightens and shrinks workloads. Weird! Did anybody know this would happen???

In this episode we talk Anthropic-OpenAI-Pentagon and the limits of ethics discourse when we are talking about already existing mass surveillance and already existing AI-assisted assassinations

🚨447. The Shinji Problem🚨 We lay out the love/hate triangle between Anthropic, OpenAI, and the Pentagon and how the competing (a)moral visions for AI and war really come down to a difference of opinion about technical capabilities, not ethical or political concerns.

Crucially, this lovers spat between Anthropic and Pentagon must not trick you into labelling Dario Amodei a righteous purveyor of resistance tech. Do not draw your boundary of good and evil between Anthropic and OpenAI. Get real!
