Wargames aren’t just for generals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this special Compromising Positions field trip, we head to Connections UK, a conference dedicated to the art and science of professional wargaming. And no, it’s not about Orcs or Space Marines. We explore what cybersecurity and AI can learn from people who use simulations to test crisis, conflict, disaster response and complex decision-making when there is no single right answer.
The (Dis)Agreeable World of AI Sycophancy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode we look at why large language models become sycophantic, how reinforcement learning and human feedback have encouraged AI systems to be warm, helpful and agreeable, and what happens when those qualities start getting in the way of honesty, uncertainty and actually telling us when we're talking absolute bollocks. Because an AI doesn't necessarily have to lie to you. It can just agree with you.
“F” Is For FAKE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, we continue our How Technology Ruined Your Life mini-series with "F" Is For FAKE, exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming not only what we see online, but what we believe to be true.
