AI bubble, Sam Altman’s Manifesto and other fairy tales for billionaires (Ep. 272)
Welcome to Data Science at Home, where we don’t just drink the AI Kool-Aid. Today, we’re dissecting Sam Altman’s “AI manifesto”—a magical journey where, apparently, AI will fix everything from climate change to your grandma's back pain. Superintelligence is “just a few thousand days away,” right? Sure, Sam, and my cat’s about to become a calculus tutor.
In this episode, I’ll break down the bold (and often bizarre) claims in Altman’s grand speech for the Intelligence Age. I’ll give you the real scoop on what’s realistic, what’s nonsense, and why some tech billionaires just can’t resist overselling. Think AI’s all-knowing, all-powerful future is just around the corner? Let’s see if we can spot the fairy dust.
Strap in, grab some popcorn, and get ready to see past the hype!

Love, Loss, and Algorithms: The Dangerous Realism of AI (Ep. 270)
Subscribe to our new channel https://www.youtube.com/@DataScienceatHome
In this episode of Data Science at Home, we confront a tragic story highlighting the ethical and emotional complexities of AI technology. A U.S. teenager recently took his own life after developing a deep emotional attachment to an AI chatbot emulating a character from Game of Thrones. This devastating event has sparked urgent discussions on the mental health risks, ethical responsibilities, and potential regulations surrounding AI chatbots, especially as they become increasingly lifelike.
🎙️ Topics Covered:
AI & Emotional Attachment: How hyper-realistic AI chatbots can foster intense emotional bonds with users, especially vulnerable groups like adolescents.
Mental Health Risks: The potential for AI to unintentionally contribute to mental health issues, and the challenges of diagnosing such impacts. Ethical & Legal Accountability: How companies like Character AI are being held accountable and the ethical questions raised by emotionally persuasive AI.
🚨 Analogies Explored:
From VR to CGI and deepfakes, we discuss how hyper-realism in AI parallels other immersive technologies and why its emotional impact can be particularly disorienting and even harmful.
🛠️ Possible Mitigations:
We cover potential solutions like age verification, content monitoring, transparency in AI design, and ethical audits that could mitigate some of the risks involved with hyper-realistic AI interactions. 👀 Key Takeaways: As AI becomes more realistic, it brings both immense potential and serious responsibility. Join us as we dive into the ethical landscape of AI—analyzing how we can ensure this technology enriches human lives without crossing lines that could harm us emotionally and psychologically.
