On this week’s show, Patrick Gray and James Wilson are joined by special guest-host Dmitri Alperovitch. They discuss the week’s cybersecurity news, including:
- The US government is mad as hell about Chinese firms stealing American AI technology
- Dmitri has an opinion or two about the US selling Nvidia chips to China
- Speaking of Chinese AI, Kimi’s new 2.6 is very interesting
- The US sanctions a Cambodian senator for earning mega bucks through scam compounds
- And a ransomware family is promoting itself as being … quantum-safe?
This week’s show is sponsored by Trail of Bits. CEO and co-founder Dan Guido chats to Pat about how private inference works and Trail of Bits’ audit of WhatsApp’s private AI setup.
This episode is also available on Youtube.
