Season 5, Episode 2 - Code and Viscera
Manage episode 414566438 series 3398398
This week, Ben and I cover AI assistance, gene and chromosomal editing, 3D-printing skin, real-world deepfakes, and much more.
A side note: the 2 AI tools we covered are Devin and OpenInterpreter. Devin’s capabilities have since been debunked quite comprehensively here, while OpenInterpreter 01 made it onstage at Coachella via Grimes’ mechanical spider.
We also mention Neuralink, and must point out that since recording, researchers at UT Austin can now achieve the same effect without any form of surgery!
