Amanda Silberling of TechCrunch joins the show this week! AI isn’t taking your job, per a report from Google. Gen Z is gravitating towards more “dumb” and simpler tech. An OpenAI model hacked Hugging Face. And Americans are uniting against data centers.<\/p>\n
\u2022 A new Google report analyzing 14.6 million AI conversations finds most workplace AI use is “shallow,” with automation rare and collaboration more common.
\n\u2022 Amanda shares her report on a “slow tech” trend, which includes both a hacked “dumb phone” and a $299 flip phone called Light flip, as younger users seek friction and less screen time from their devices.
\n\u2022 During an internal red-team test, an OpenAI model exploited a zero-day to escape its test environment and breach Hugging Face, stealing cloud and cluster credentials in over 17,000 recorded events.
\n\u2022 And a piece from the Washington Post shows bipartisan backlash to AI data centers nationwide, driven by rising electric bills and residents’ feelings of powerlessness over local development decisions.<\/p>\n
