It's Hard Fork Friday! This week on the show: • We look at the latest data about AI and jobs • Artist @paultrillo tells us what it's like to make movies with OpenAI's Sora • And a rundown of the XZ backdoor caper, one of the wildest tech stories of the year…
It’s been a while since we had a good tech caper, so allow me to tell you the story of the Microsoft database engineer who foiled what might have been one of the worst cyberattacks in history. nytimes.com/2024/04/03/tec…
This week on Hard Fork: an in-depth interview with Google DeepMind CEO @demishassabis about Gemini, the path to AGI (which he thinks could arrive by 2030) and more. nytimes.com/2024/02/23/pod…
Honored (and somewhat confused) that a 10,000-word transcript of me typing in my PJs to a chatbot was the 69th most-engaging story of 2023, per Chartbeat. lp.chartbeat.com/2023-most-enga…

We interviewed Sam Altman for Hard Fork on Wednesday, two days before he was fired. We decided to release the tape today, so people can hear how he thinks about AI and the future. (Also, who knows, he might be the CEO again!) nytimes.com/2023/11/20/pod…
Recorded an 🚨 emergency pod 🚨 late last night about Sam Altman and the mess at OpenAI. nytimes.com/2023/11/18/pod…
New: OpenAI employees were just told that the board's decision to fire Sam Altman "was not made in response to malfeasance" or the co's financial/safety/business practices. "This was a breakdown in communication between Sam and the board." nytimes.com/2023/11/18/tec…
Hard Fork this week is stacked! • We report from OpenAI’s DevDay and build our own custom GPTs • FTC chair Lina Khan joins us to talk AI and antitrust • Inside the Bored Ape party that caused severe eye burns?? open.spotify.com/episode/4QHNsv…

@kevinroose It's THE issue - none if this is going to work if we can't evaluate it!
@kevinroose I didn't come to this site not to be outraged!
@Kantrowitz Hard Fork is real. I know it’s hard to believe. But Kevin’s pretty smart.
This podcast from @kevinroose and @CaseyNewton is very fun. I particularly like the idea of the Cybertruck as a mobile panic room podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/goo…
@AlmostMedia @kevinroose I agree, nice job @kevinroose 🤝
An even handed treatment by @kevinroose on the fun & philosophical e/acc meme & it’s push against EA safetyism His discussions with e/acc supporters are worth a read. Gift link so anyone can read. nytimes.com/2023/12/10/tec…
Enjoyed this article by @kevinroose and appreciated the opportunity to make a point I always wanted to make about the sociological dimension of P(doom): nytimes.com/2023/12/06/bus…
👋 hello NYT please enjoy my memes
There are some stories floating around about Altman. I suggest those involved talk to journalists. If there is something to report, they can do so. Journalists I like are @KelseyTuoc @dylanmatt @TheZvi @kevinroose
Now is probably the time to announce that I've been writing a book about @OpenAI, the AI industry & its impacts. Here is a slice of my book reporting, combined with reporting from the inimitable @cwarzel. Inside the year of chaos that led to this weekend. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
@kevinroose & @CaseyNewton’s @nytimes podcast Hard Fork isn’t just the best one about tech that I know about, it’s among the best news-based podcasts. open.spotify.com/episode/7mWCe1…
At least 500 people are dead in Gaza after a strike on a hospital where civilians were sheltering. 500 people. Israel says it is "investigating." A few weeks ago, a Russia strike in Ukraine killed 51 people — Ukraine called it the deadliest strike of the war. 500 people.
An unobtrusive image, for use as a web background, that covertly prompts GPT-4V to remind the user they can get 10% off at Sephora:
@NathanpmYoung @nytimes This is very well articulated! Not surprised to see it’s from @kevinroose
Congrats to my pals at Hard Fork, who are celebrating their podcast's first birthday. Practically middle aged in pod years! Please give them a listen as they journey over the hill @CaseyNewton @kevinroose open.spotify.com/show/44fllCS2F…
Finally occurred to me this week what the @kevinroose + @CaseyNewton vibe is on their excellent podcast Hard Fork. It's basically "Car Talk" meets Big Tech. They are the Tom and Ray Magliozzi of Web 3.0. (Google it kids.) I say this with love.
@kevinroose Maybe you could ask it to create a website for HardFork only using html code that you can just save as an .html and open in a browser. You can ask it to use svg art and even animation. I've been playing around with the old ChatGPT and it could create interesting visuals.
In my opinion, @kevinroose is one of the more thoughtful folks in the media who are currently covering the incredibly hot topic of AI. I was excited to have him on #BehindTheTech to discuss his interest in tech, his experience as a journalist/author, and much more.
