The engineers building artificial intelligence don’t fully understand how it works.
Many people think AI is carefully engineered. In reality, it’s closer to something being grown and these systems are evolving in ways even their creators struggle to predict.
AI researcher and former LLM builder Connor Leahy explains what’s happening inside the labs: why the alignment problem remains unsolved, why the race to AGI is accelerating, and why the people leading it may be moving faster than they understand.
We also discuss AI risk, Silicon Valley’s power dynamics, the Department of Defense’s growing involvement and the rise of “AI psychosis.”
