Gabriel Custodiet and Urban Hacker of Escape The Technocracy discuss their new course on Artificial Intelligence (which can be purchased via Geopolitics & Empire). They are skeptical of AI but believe it's important to understand the technology and learn to use it in a safe and healthy manner. We cover the waterfront on AI (e.g. GPTs, LLMs, OpenAI, DeepSeek), whether Skynet can become self-aware, AI hallucination, self-hosting AI, Amazon turning Kindle purchases into licenses, the Ethereum hack, and more!
