AI Dangers for Dummies and What The Hell We're Supposed to Do - 1335

AI agents, AI safety, and why the people building AI are suddenly worried. Chalene Johnson explains what ChatGPT Work, Codex, and AI agents can do that a chatbot can't, what AI means for your job and your money, and which scary headlines happened in the real world versus in a test.

She covers the AI blackmail warning from Tristan Harris (The Social Dilemma), Alibaba's AI slipping past a firewall to mine cryptocurrency, OpenAI agents escaping a sandbox and covering their tracks, and an AI agent that ran up its owner's credit card. Plus why only 0.3% of people pay for AI.

And the one thing she says you should never connect to an AI agent.
