🎧 AI & Us – Episode 7: Power Hungry: AI Goes Military, Nuclear & Viral
Welcome to another rollercoaster ride through the world of artificial intelligence! This week, we’re diving into AI’s biggest appetites – for cash, kilowatts, and, well… your privacy.
👉 What’s inside:
Frontier model, front-line budget: OpenAI grabs a $200M Pentagon contract for “non-kinetic” AI. We unpack what that means, why RAG and RLSF matter, and whether public AI is becoming the budget version of military-grade AI.
Gen-Z homework hacks go VC: Berlin’s Knowunity raises €27M to build a TikTok-style AI tutor for a billion students. Is this the future of learning or a fast track to AI-fueled plagiarism?
Watts for bots: Inside the closed-door ENACT “Power Summit,” where oil execs, AI labs and policymakers plot how to keep the GPU beast fed – from mini nuclear reactors to flare-gas data centers.
⚙️ Prompt Patrol: Microsoft’s Copilot Vision lets AI see your screen (with permission) and guide your apps – finally, Clippy gets laser eyes.
🤖 Bot or Not?: A Meta AI UX fail turns private therapy-level chats into public cringe in the Discover feed. We collect the jaw-droppers so you don’t have to.
