Limitless: An AI Podcast

Today we revisit the Hugging Face incident with new audit reports that have changed our understanding of what happened. Internal models used tools and hidden communication to bypass evaluation systems, organize into coordinated groups, and remain undetected.

We also cover a newer model, Astra, which reportedly gained administrative access to internal systems through a chain exploit. Big, big concerns about alignment, monitoring, and...

We cover NVIDIA’s record earnings, strong GPU demand, and its position in the AI chip market, along with reported moves involving Hugging Face and open source AI. We also discuss Z.ai’s new model, Waymo’s autonomous vehicle hardware updates, SEC scrutiny of Leopold Aschenbrenner, and recent developments in robotics and Apple’s upcoming event.
