Shoring up the fate of OpenAI

You’re gonna need a bigger moat.

This week, Tasia and Tristan check in on some Samsung speculation and Google goings-on before diving into the murky depths of the legal, ethical and societal challenges posed by AI deepfakes — celebrity and otherwise — and law enforcement's in challenges pursuing the purveyors of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in the age of AI. Then we tack toward Sam Altman's prediction of AGI's imminent arrival, his pursuit of sustainable fusion energy to power AI's future, and his in-house chip development ambitions to fortify OpenAI's competitive position. Join us as we navigate the choppy waters of AI's potential — and real-world considerations.
