After being banned from talking about artificial intelligence at Thanksgiving, guest host Matt Levin is eager to chime in on the ongoing Sam Altman controversy and news about a powerful artificial intelligence development at OpenAI. Plus, tech tycoons are behaving more and more like foreign dignitaries. And: Doritos’ new crunch-cancellation technology.

Here’s everything we talked about:

• • “Unpacking the hype around OpenAI’s rumored new Q* model” from MIT Technology Review

• • “OpenAI researchers warned board of AI breakthrough ahead of CEO ouster, sources say” from Reuters

• • “Elon Musk Meets With Netanyahu in Israel Amid Backlash Against Social Media Post” from The New York Times

• • “What’s Merriam-Webster’s word of the year for 2023? Hint: Be true to yourself” from AP News

• • “The sound of crunching chips is annoying. Doritos has made a silencer.” from The Washington Post

Researchers in Korea claim they’ve identified a material that could unlock a technological revolution: the room temperature superconductor. Material scientists are skeptical, but enthusiasts on Twitter are enthusiastic. Why is the internet so excited about superconductors?

Then, the Kids Online Safety Act is headed to the Senate floor. Would it actually keep children safe? And how would it change the internet?

Plus: Kevin and Casey play HatGPT.

Additional Reading:

• South Korean researchers released a video they claimed was a superconductor showing levitation at room temperature. Scientists were skeptical.
• The New York Times reporter Kashmir Hill profiled Mike Masnick, who wasn’t so sure about KOSA.

In today's episode, Andy & DJ talk about Travis King, a US soldier that sprinted into North Korea and is believed to be in custody, CMT facing backlash online after pulling down Jason Aldean's music video, and an IRS whistleblower confirming that the Biden family funneled over $17 million from foreign sources.

Geoffrey Hinton, a legend of artificial-intelligence research, wants to be able to speak his mind about the technology’s risks. We ask whether those steeped in a field are best-placed to judge it. It has long been clear Ukraine needs more fighter jets; we look at the ones it may get at last. And the first video game about the Holocaust.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Democrats wage an actual war on democracy by finally indicting their chief political rival Donald Trump. This outrageous witch-hunt is yet more evidence that the justice system is a sham in this country. Meanwhile, DeSantis has pledged not to cooperate with any extradition request. Should Trump then throw down the gauntlet and refuse to surrender? Also, speaking of assaults on democracy, leftist militants have staged two insurrections at two different state capitols in just the last 24 hours. And a trans activist goes on MSNBC to explain why God "made him trans." Plus, a scientist warns that AI might become super intelligent and wipe out all life on earth. Do we need to add that to our list of worries?

Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Children of Time” is about an advanced civilization built by sentient spiders. A sequel, “Children of Ruin,” is about a society run by superintelligent octopuses. I love these books. They’re remarkably serious about their premises, and by the end, it’s human civilization and our limited sensorium that come to seem strange.

But Tchaikovsky’s latest book, “Children of Memory,” ostensibly about crows, read as something very different to me: the best fictional representation I’ve read of what it is like to interact with, and perhaps even be, an artificial intelligence system like ChatGPT. It was a very strange read at this moment. And it made possible an episode I’ve been wanting to do for months.

Long before we have to face the question of whether A.I. is sentient, we will have to face the question of whether it is creative, and that will turn into the question of whether we, truly, are creative. And so Tchaikovsky and I talk about whether there’s a meaningful difference between human creativity and A.I. problem solving, why he believes this is a “profoundly scary time” to be a writer or a designer, what an explosion of A.I.-produced content would mean for human society and the human spirit, whether the advancement of A.I. could exhaust avenues for human originality and much more.

Next month has been dubbed ‘Awful April’ as the cost of pretty much everything is going up — but is your budget ready to withstand the strain? 22-year-old podcast listener Lil is worried about how she’ll cope with higher energy bills, rising rent and bigger food bills at the supermarket — not to mention National Insurance increases and changes to her student loan repayments. She’s already pretty thrifty — so can presenter Claer Barrett come up with more ways that Lil could stretch her money further?

Charlotte Jessop, founder of the website Looking After Your Pennies, explains easy ways everyone can get to grips with budgeting and saving money, as well as ideas for boosting your income. Plus, Claer visits the home of Miguel Barclay, better known on Instagram as the £1 chef, to see what budgeting tips he’s been cooking up in his latest book.
