Welcome back to The FAIK Files— the show about artificial intelligence and natural nonsense!
In this week’s episode:
Mason has an update on last week's shocking story of Google Gemini’s alleged threats against a user. Is this a glitch, a hack, or something more sinister?
We sit down with cybersecurity expert Justin “Hutch” Hutchins (author of The Language of Deception) to dive into his experience weaponizing large language models and what it means for the future of AI.
And finally, we lighten things up with some fun AI music experiments, showing that Perry & Mason may have too much time on their hands,

Let's face it. Most of us have a love/hate relationship with technology and technological advances. We dream about the new thing... but when it arrives, we are usually a little disappointed. Many of us also lament the constant erosion of privacy, the changes in social norms, and more. And, little-by-little, we allow those aspects of new technology to make us numb. We accept the cognitive dissonance of not totally being happy with the trade-offs; yet we still make the trade.In this episode, we explore a few of the positives and some of the unintended consequences associated with recent technological advancements. We'll hear from Dr. Lydia, Kostopoulos, Dr. Charles Chaffin, Andra Zaharia, and Aaron Barr.Guests:Dr. Lydia Kostopoulos (LinkedIn) (Website)Dr. Charles Chaffin (LinkedIn) (Website)Andra Zaharia (LinkedIn) (Website)Aaron Barr (LinkedIn) (Website)Books and Resources:IEEE Article: Decoupling Human Characteristics from Algorithmic Capabilities by Dr. Lydia KostopoulosNumb: How the Information Age Dulls Our Senses and How We Can Get them Back by Dr. Charles Chaffin (Amazon Associate Links)The Numb Podcast by Dr. Charles ChaffinThe Cyber Empathy Podcast by Andra ZahariaReminder: Your 'smart AI' often involves a low-paid contractor surveilling youHow creepy is your smart speaker?Newton's Laws of MotionUnintended ConsequencesElon Musk's warning regarding AITransformational Security Awareness: What Neuroscientists, Storytellers, and Marketers Can Teach Us About Driving Secure Behaviors, by Perry Carpenter (Amazon Associate Link)Everything is Alive podcast by PRX and RadiotopiaProduction Credits:Additional voice talent provided by Kristina Leigh.Additional research by Nyla Gennaoui.Music and Sound Effects by Blue Dot Sessions, Envato Elements, & Storyblocks.Artwork by Chris Machowski @ https://www.RansomWear.net/ and Mia Rune @ https://www.MiaRune.com.8th Layer Insights theme music composed and performed by Marcos Moscat @ https://www.GameMusicTown.com/Want to get in touch with Perry?
