The Silence of the Cyber-Lambs
Manage episode 473859382 series 3606103
Welcome back to the FAIK Files!
In this episode:
- Perry cracks open a chaotic grab bag: A couple updates from Perry and the National Cybersecurity Alliance. Plus two new reality-bending image models that raise the bar again — this time with people that really look like people and text that actually looks like text!
- We sit down with former FBI special agent, Cameron Malin.— a deception expert and behavioral profiler who helped build the FBI’s Cyber Behavioral Analysis Unit from the ground up. If you’ve ever wondered how the feds spot a lie before it’s even told, this one’s for you.
- And we wrap with our AI Dumpster Fire of the Week: a hot mess of slop, bots, and algorithmic trash that’s flooding the internet with synthetic sludge.
