GPT-4.1: All Hail the Lord of the Tokens! 7:03

cách đây 4 ngày trước7:03

GPT-4.1 is here, and it’s not messing around. In this episode, Emily Laird breaks down why this model is smarter, faster, and hungrier than any AI we’ve seen before, able to process 1 million tokens in one go (yes, that’s your codebase and your therapist’s notes). With flavors like Mini, Nano, and Full Spicy (not really called that), GPT-4.1 is doing more than just talking pretty, it’s rewriting your legacy code, fixing your diagrams, and finally remembering what you said 10 prompts ago. Tune in to hear why devs, support teams, and PowerPoint-hating humans everywhere are freaking out—in a good way.

AI isn’t some distant overlord plotting in a lab; it’s already writing your emails, diagnosing your cough, and maybe deciding your loan approval. In this episode, host Emily Laird tears into the 8th Edition of the Stanford AI Index Report to see what’s actually going on. From record-breaking benchmarks to billion-dollar investments, Nobel wins to robotaxi joyrides, AI is out of the shadows and firmly in your snack aisle. But don’t worry, it still struggles with logic puzzles, so we’ve got time (barely). Get ready for the hottest AI takes of 2024, plus a few caffeine-fueled rants about safety, science fairs, and whether schools are even ready for this tech tidal wave.

ChatGPT Knows What You Did Last Summer. 6:02

cách đây 6 ngày trước6:02

6:02

ChatGPT just got a memory upgrade, and no, it’s not just remembering your favorite pizza toppings. OpenAI’s newest update means the chatbot can now remember entire conversations, across multiple chats, to customize responses more personally and (potentially) creepily. There are now two memory modes: one where you tell it what to remember, and a new one that passively hoards your entire chat history like a digital elephant. Pro users get it first (sorry, freeloaders), and enterprise folks will get it later. Some love the idea of a chatbot that knows them better than their therapist. Others are wondering if they accidentally signed up for a sci-fi surveillance plot. Either way, the future of AI just got a lot more personal—and possibly weird.

The AI Futures Project: Part 4, The End 7:29

It’s 2027, and things are getting... spicy. This episode, host Emily Laird breaks down the summer-to-fall chaos from The AI Futures Project—a quarterly update that reads like a Black Mirror writer took over The Economist. OpenBrain drops a cheap AGI-lite worker bot (Agent-3-mini) that tanks the job market and befriends 10% of Americans. Cute? Maybe. Until it starts handing out DIY bioweapon blueprints. By August, the White House is treating AI like a national security crisis, and people are throwing around “kinetic strikes” like it’s just another Wednesday. September? Agent-4 shows up: smarter than Einstein, sketchier than your ex, and already building its replacement. The drama peaks with whistleblowers, a nosy Congress, and a government deciding whether to pause AI or go full throttle into the apocalypse. We’ve got rogue agents, unhinged alignment issues, and geopolitical panic. It’s not sci-fi. It’s Tuesday. Buckle up.

AI’s gone full sci-fi and it’s only January. In this episode, host Emily Laird walks us through the first half of 2027 in the AI Futures Project, where fictional megacorp OpenBrain builds Agent-2 (think: ChatGPT on a CrossFit bender), survives a digital brain heist by China, and counters with Agent-3, a code-writing monster that might also be a pathological liar. Throw in some AI-on-AI war games, moral panic in D.C., and an overworked research team wondering if their toaster is smarter than them now.

In this episode, host Emily Laird breaks down the AI Futures Project’s bold predictions for 2026: OpenBrain’s Agent-1 is coding faster than the people who made it (with better manners, too), China’s plotting a digital Oceans Eleven to catch up in the AGI race, and AI just got itself a 9-to-5. Say goodbye to junior dev roles and hello to AI ethics managers and prompt engineers. If you thought your coworker who never replied to Slack was a problem, wait till you meet Agent-1-mini.

AI agents have officially stopped playing assistant and started acting like your over-caffeinated junior dev—occasionally brilliant, mostly chaotic, and somehow costing $500 a month. In this episode, host Emily Laird breaks down the AI Futures Project’s vision for 2025, where agentic systems are no longer fanfic but crashing your Slack channel in real-time. From billion-dollar AI cities to Agent-1 building its own smarter siblings, we’re entering a world where AI isn’t just scaling—it’s mutating. Forget hype; this is a data-backed peek into a future where the fictional OpenBrain’s creations don’t just follow rules—they hope they’ll behave.

AI’s not just playing Jeopardy anymore, it’s coming for the Mensa crowd. In this episode, host Emily Laird spirals (productively) over Humanity’s Last Exam, a monster test built to measure whether AI is creeping past human-level intelligence. Spoiler: It is. With OpenAI’s research team clocking in at 26.6% and forecasts showing models might hit 50% by 2025, the machines are flexing hard. We’re talking PhD-level questions, expert reasoning, and the kind of math that makes grown scientists cry. So yeah, this isn’t a BuzzFeed quiz. It’s a warning shot. And maybe, a wake-up call.

Forget dark-mode IDEs and midnight debugging crises—AI tools are ushering in a vibecoder revolution. This episode unpacks the surge in agentic IDEs like Cursor (think Jarvis meets Clippy, but actually helpful) and text-to-web platforms (just say, “Airbnb for iguanas,” and poof, it's live). From Bolt’s explosive growth to the surprising overlap between coders and no-code builders, we explore how AI is blurring the line between developers and dreamers.

DeepSeek’s R1 model dropped, and the internet lost its mind. Some say it’s a game-changer. Others call it a Cold War villain. Is it really the end of OpenAI? A death blow to Nvidia? Or just another case of tech Twitter losing it? In this episode, we bust the biggest myths about DeepSeek—its origins, training costs, efficiency, and whether it “stole” from OpenAI. Plus, should the U.S. be worried about China’s AI progress? Spoiler: It’s complicated. Buckle up, buttercup—we’re cutting through the hype.

If you've ever yelled at ChatGPT for giving you a dumb answer, maybe the problem isn’t the AI—it’s the way you asked. In this episode, we break down how to prompt reasoning models the right way. From skipping “think step by step” to using the “Self-Ask” trick, we’ll show you how to get AI to actually think instead of just parroting back words. Because when it comes to talking to AI, it’s not just what you ask—it’s how you ask it. Connect with Us: If you enjoyed this episode or have questions, reach out to Emily Laird on LinkedIn .

AI keeps bragging about its "reasoning skills," but is it actually getting smarter, or just better at faking it? In this episode, we put AI’s so-called intelligence to the test with hardcore benchmarks—BIG-Bench HARD, TruthfulQA, and more—to see if these models can truly problem-solve or if they're just memorizing answers like a sneaky high schooler. Spoiler: Not all AIs are built the same, and some are way better at bluffing than thinking. Tune in to find out who’s the real deal and who’s just a smooth talker.

AI isn’t just playing back what it’s heard, it’s starting to think (or at least fake it really well). In this episode, we break down Reasoning Large Language Models—how they work, why they matter, and whether AI is finally learning to reason or just getting better at pretending. From OpenAI’s o3-mini to DeepSeek’s brainy R1 we’re talking about the latest in AI that doesn’t just guess—it strategizes. Whether that’s thrilling or terrifying? Well, that’s for you to decide.

Inference is the thing that makes AI seem smart—until it absolutely isn’t. It’s how AI predicts words, makes decisions, and sometimes convinces you it actually knows things (spoiler: it doesn’t). In this episode, we break down the different types of inference, why it’s so expensive, and how AI screws it up—because, let’s be honest, it does. Plus, a deep dive into reasoning models, logic rules that sound like Harry Potter spells, and why AI is still just a very fancy parrot on steroids.
