A.I. Safety Goes Mainstream + a ‘Hard Fork’ Exit AMA

Kevin Roose and Casey Newton discuss the sudden mainstream shift toward AI safety concerns, triggered by researcher Jacob Coxon’s resignation and the Hugging Face incident. They analyze the unprecedented call for a coordinated global slowdown by rival leaders like Dario Amodei and Sam Altman, contrasting this with the Trump administration’s skepticism. The hosts also address the show’s final episode, announcing their new NPR series "Machine Gods," and answer listener questions about their personal history and production process.
