I love what the CHT is doing. I am not someone that thinks AGI and the singularity is right around the corner. But the dangers of employing LLM’s as agents is already documented. This episode describes in fairly layman terms how an “AI” can go rouge and blackmail people.

So many people seem to confuse bravado with leadership. It’s a cut throat world out there, but we all have the chance to build the work environments we want to work in.
This is good leading.
