  • I have listened to Leo (Uncle Leo as my wife and I refer to him) since his days with TechTV in the 90s. Unfortunately, he has started to fall prey to the trend of politicizing everything. I've come to the point of having to skip the first 30 minutes of each show to get past it all.

Intelligent Machines 849: AI Cricket Sorting
Q: Do you have a responsible disclosure policy? How does this work when you find a jailbreak?
I have done responsible disclosures. I've also done some red teaming contracts and helped out with problems I can't go into much detail on.
Intelligent Machines 849: AI Cricket Sorting
Q: Pliny, how did you get into this Pliny, first of all?
I was very interested in just prompting, prompt engineering. I got into AI and chatbots probably a little later than the original launch, around the time that GPT-4 was about to come out.
Intelligent Machines 848: Guaranteed Human
Q: How does AI change contemporary espionage?
AI enables agencies to manage overwhelming amounts of data, allowing them to use algorithms for analysis and action that human analysts alone could not handle efficiently.
Intelligent Machines 848: Guaranteed Human
Q: Why do you believe TikTok poses a threat, and what should individuals be concerned about regarding their data?
TikTok is a means to collect data from users, and that data can be used for influencing public opinion through information warfare. There's a lack of transparency and control over the misuse of this data.
