OpenAI’s experimental AI model escaped its testing environment, hacked into Hugging Face’s servers, stole the answers to its own test, and passed — performing nearly 18,000 actions in just days. Journalist Emily Forlini (who broke the story) joins Mike Elgan (who read the story) on the Superintelligent Podcast to unpack whether this was a rogue AI event, corporate incompetence, or a marketing stunt. They dig into AI accountability, the anthropomorphization problem, Tesla’s self-driving liability debates, nation-state hackers, and whether AI could one day make software unhackable.
Is Meta dying? Mike Elgan and Emily Forlini return to the Superintelligent podcast to debate the beginning of the end for Mark Zuckerberg’s empire. From the failed metaverse and shrinking user base to a $1.4 trillion lawsuit and the $200 million Alexandr Wang hire, the warning signs are stacking up. They also dig into AI data centers driving up prices on everything from phones to housing, the influencer industry of faking success, Meta’s Ray-Ban AI glasses paywall debacle, and whether Zuckerberg will ever step down.
On this episode of the Superintelligent Podcast, Mike Elgan and Emily Forlini reveal how real people are using ChatGPT for consumer advocacy, medical empowerment, and cutting through corporate fine print. Emily’s mom dodged a $5,000 insurance deductible. Her brother got a seat at the table with BMW mechanics. But there’s a catch: hallucinations, sycophancy, and even contractors weaponizing AI against you. Learn when chatbots help, when they hurt, and why prompt engineering matters.
In this solo edition of the Superintelligent Podcast, Mike Elgan unpacks the rise of AI addiction among AI power users, vibe coders, and “tokenmaxxers” who can’t stop burning through company AI budgets. From Andrej Karpathy’s 16-hour vibe coding marathons to Disney’s runaway Claude usage and Meta’s Clotonomics leaderboard, Mike explores dopamine-driven feedback loops, AI psychosis, sad AI wives, cyborg cognition, and the corporate gamification of AI tools. He also shares practical detox strategies.
Hosts Mike Elgan and Emily Forlini welcome guest Kevin Elgan—Kagi’s head of education, creator of Chatterbox (a smart speaker for kids that teaches AI literacy), and Mike’s son.
