It Was Shortly After I Returned From the Moon...

Shortly after returning from the moon, the host reflects on the growing influence of artificial intelligence and the unsettling behavior of its most prominent figures. The episode centers on a controversial report by Ronan Farrow alleging that Sam Altman, co-founder of OpenAI, is a 'pathological liar' whose pattern of deception extends from minor exaggerations—like claiming to be a champion ping pong player—to serious ethical breaches, including misleading board members about safety testing of AI models. The discussion escalates with revelations about Anthropic’s new AI model, Mythos, which can identify and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities across all major operating systems and browsers. Instead of public release, it’s being shared with tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Apple for defensive patching—raising fears that such superintelligent systems could fall into the hands of malicious actors, enabling catastrophic cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. The hosts warn that these tools are now accessible to anyone with basic coding skills, turning everyday individuals into potential cyberthreats. Amid growing anxiety, the conversation turns to personal preparedness, with one host joking about burying money underground and the other suggesting diversifying assets—highlighting a paradox: even those who mock survivalists may soon need their advice.
