Podcast: The Rise of AI Book Ripoffs

•

A rip off summary of Joseph's book, an AI startup dehumanizing workers; and a very particular AI video of Musk and Trump.

We start this week's episode with Joseph finding out someone basically ripped off his book with a potentially AI-generated summary. Emanuel also updates us on some of the impact his reporting on AI in libraries has had. After the break, Sam tells us all about a Y Combinator supported startup that is straight-up dehumanizing factory workers. In the subscribers-only section, we talk about an apparent act of protest from inside the U.S. government involving an AI video of Musk and Trump.
