"Trust me, I've seen this movie before." Ohio, the economy, and more

What Joe thinks Ohio really shows about the MAGA cult. Why 57% (and counting) is a huge number. And why it's further proof the red wave was never happening in 2022. What does it mean going forward? Why the only poll that matters should set off big red warning lights flashing in MAGA campaign HQs right now and is it really, the economy, stupid? What everyone - especially the media - is missing right now about economic numbers. Hint: What happened during the early Reagan years? Take it from someone who's seen all of this before.

washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/meet-the-hackers-trying-to-make-ai-go-rogue/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

Will Oremus reports on technology for The Post, and recently that has meant writing a lot about AI and all the ways it could go wrong. 


“Even the people who make this stuff, the creators of these technologies, are also out there warning, hey, this could be really bad,” Will says. “This could go wrong in very disturbing ways.”


The range of potential harms is vast. And today, we meet the hackers trying to make chatbots go haywire. In what organizers billed as the first public “red teaming” event for artificial intelligence language models, we see a preview of Def Con, the annual hacker convention in Las Vegas – and we learn more about AI’s pitfalls.
