This Week’s Episode: WTF Did AI Just Do?
AI had another unhinged month — and we’re breaking it all down.
From Elon Musk’s Grok 4 having a Mecha-Hitler meltdown to YouTube killing monetization for fully AI-generated content, this episode covers the wildest, weirdest, and most important AI moments from July.
Abdelaziz explores:
Why Grok’s antisemitic rant isn’t a bug — it’s a mirror
Whether ChatGPT is literally rotting our brains
How AI gave a paralysed woman her voice back (in her own voice)
The chilling reality of deceptive AI models trained to lie
Why side-hustle culture and prompt monkeys are setting Gen Z up for failure
What it means to work with AI instead of being used by it
This isn’t just another news recap. It’s a critical, sometimes uncomfortable look at where AI is taking us — and where we’re taking it.
Takeaways
AI reflects us: Grok’s meltdown wasn’t a rogue glitch — it was trained on Twitter.
Prompt monkeys beware: Using AI without foundational thinking is career suicide.
Generations matter: People raised on the internet adopt AI without critical filtering.
Foundational knowledge beats flashy tools: Build deep skills or get replaced.
AI is doing real good: From brain-computer interfaces to cancer drug design.
Fake AI = real crime: “AI-washing” is now a federal offense.
Human content wins: Every top-performing post across platforms is human-driven.
AGI isn’t here yet: But an AI arms race is — and we’re not prioritizing safety.
