AI Election Interference, AI CEO World Domination, and Pointless AI Browsers: The AI Argument EP76

A fake video told over 100,000 people that the Irish presidential election was cancelled. It wasn’t. But how many voters stayed home anyway? Frank’s worried, Justin’s unconvinced. He says society adapts. Frank warns the real danger isn’t the shocking fakes. It’s the small, believable ones that quietly shape opinion. They both agree the platforms could help. They just don’t.

Plus:

OpenAI’s shiny new browser sounds impressive, but who’s it actually for? Justin sees potential in “headless agents.” Frank’s not handing over passwords to an AI browser he doesn’t trust.

There’s also a plot twist from the team behind AI 2027. Could a lone tech CEO actually seize power? Frank thinks it’s worth reading. Justin calls it Silicon Valley sci-fi.

And if that wasn’t enough dystopia for one sitting, the petition to pause superintelligence makes a comeback. Spoiler: Frank signed it. Justin laughed.

Finally, why an AI-powered Tribble might be more emotionally satisfying than an AI “friend” that speaks your language.
