Episode notes

The lawyer for the passenger goes back to chat GPT to get help finding copies of these cases, and he sends over copies of the eight different cases that were previously cited. The lawyers for the airline, Avianka, after they read the lawyer's submission, they can't find any of these cases. And so now the lawyer has gotten in some hot water because it turns out you're actually not allowed to just commit fakery to the courts of this land.

A few days after a lawyer used ChatGPT to write a brief filled with made-up cases, a group of A.I. experts released a letter warning of the “risk of extinction” from the technology. But will A.I. ever be good enough to pose such a threat?

Then, FAANG is now MAAAN, with the addition of Nvidia. Here’s how the GPU company became a trillion-dollar behemoth.

Plus: Kevin, Casey and the New York Times tech reporter Kate Conger answer Hard Questions from listeners.
