We speak to computing researcher Dan McQuillan, author of the recent book “Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence,” all about that open letter about how scary powerful AI is. Also, a startup that helps automate academic literature overproduction so not even the writers have to read it, and the TikTok hearings.
