The people building the world’s most powerful AI are starting to sound the alarm. One researcher just walked away, warning that the race toward super-intelligence could have consequences we’re nowhere near prepared for. Then we dive into a bizarre 1977 encounter involving two military policemen, a nuclear missile site, a UFO, and hours of missing time that remained buried for nearly 50 years. Plus, the insane rise of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos and how a 19 year old convinced some of the most powerful people in America to believe in technology that barely existed. AI warnings, UFOs, missing time, billion dollar deception, and plenty of chaos. Welcome to Episode 213 of Ninjas Are Butterflies. Find your next fall favorites at Quince.
