Despite the widespread media coverage of this AI-powered cyberattack, the full implications of it are not widely understood.The conversation was between Dwarkesh Patel, the host of a popular podcast that digs deep into the geekiest science and technology topics, and Ajeya Cotra, an AI safety researcher at METR, a non-profit, that stud
