Welcome back to the FAIK Files!

On this week's episode,

We explore the world of AI hallucinations. What causes them? Do they make AI useless, or could they potentially lead to scientific breakthroughs
We dive into emerging AI models like Large Behavior Models (LBMs) and how they differ from traditional Large Language Models
We examine the ongoing battle for AI safety with a focus on xAI's newest release, Grok 3
And finally, DeepSeek is still causing ripples
