Welcome to another episode of the Wes & Dylan Podcast! We are diving deep into some of the most mind-bending, dystopian, and revolutionary updates in the world of Artificial Intelligence.
From Meta secretly acquiring an entire network of talking AI agents to Andrej Karpathy dropping an autonomous "Auto Researcher" that upgrades models while you sleep, the AI landscape is shifting faster than ever. We also explore the ethical boundaries of AI with the latest developments from Anthropic, and we sit down with Legal Tech attorney Matt Mishach to discuss what happens when the Pentagon, AI, and the US legal system collide.
But it gets weirder. We discuss the lab that taught a petri dish of human brain cells to play Doom, and Eon Systems' groundbreaking project: uploading a complete fruit fly connectome into a virtual simulation. Are we watching the first biological creature enter the Matrix? And what does that mean for our own reality?
Tune in as we discuss AI psychology, the death of user interfaces, bio-hacking, and the simulation hypothesis.
