The AI Futures Project: Part 4, The End
Manage episode 476411173 series 3578824
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.
