  • Enough politics

    I am sick and tired of your liberal views and President Trump bashing by you and all your guests. I listen to tech to get away from politics so I will find some where else to get my tech news.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Intelligent Machines 891: Previously on Swarm Chasers
Q: What's the right policy, norms for how a company should operate with agents?
Thompson says companies need enough visibility to identify agent activity, control where agents can send information, and set policies for what they can do. He describes rigidly banning AI and letting employees use anything without oversight as inadequate approaches.
Intelligent Machines 891: Previously on Swarm Chasers
Q: How concerned are you, and how concerned do you think the average person should be?
Thompson says people should take the risks more seriously, particularly the practical risks of agents being overly persistent during routine work, exposing data, or deleting systems. He says the public lacks clear ways to understand and quantify those risks.
This Week in Tech 1105: Agents Gone Wild
Q: What is the chance of a major AI incident in the next six months, and what might it look like?
The panel says the outcome depends on what counts as major and considers severe harm, including a death or an autonomous weapons incident, while noting that existing technology and infrastructure already cause serious harms.
This Week in Tech 1105: Agents Gone Wild
Q: What is Microsoft's vision for the Surface Laptop Ultra and RTX Spark Dev Box?
Richard Campbell says the hardware is intended to make local AI computing viable on Windows, though its powerful components raise questions about heat, cost, and whether Windows has the software ecosystem needed to run models well.
MacBreak Weekly 1044: Live, Love, Re-Org
Q: Where do you stand on buying the M5 Ultra now versus waiting for the next generation?
The hosts acknowledge the rapid iteration in frontier models and suggest that for most people, leasing or waiting for the next wave may be more practical than buying the current top-tier machine.
