It's Hard Fork Friday! This week on the show:

• We look at the latest data about AI and jobs

• And a rundown of the XZ backdoor caper, one of the wildest tech stories of the year…

It’s been a while since we had a good tech caper, so allow me to tell you the story of the Microsoft database engineer who foiled what might have been one of the worst cyberattacks in history. nytimes.com/2024/04/03/tec…

This week on Hard Fork: an in-depth interview with Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis about Gemini, the path to AGI (which he thinks could arrive by 2030) and more. nytimes.com/2024/02/23/pod…

Honored (and somewhat confused) that a 10,000-word transcript of me typing in my PJs to a chatbot was the 69th most-engaging story of 2023, per Chartbeat. lp.chartbeat.com/2023-most-enga…

We interviewed Sam Altman for Hard Fork on Wednesday, two days before he was fired.

We decided to release the tape today, so people can hear how he thinks about AI and the future. (Also, who knows, he might be the CEO again!) nytimes.com/2023/11/20/pod…

Recorded an 🚨 emergency pod 🚨 late last night about Sam Altman and the mess at OpenAI. nytimes.com/2023/11/18/pod…

New: OpenAI employees were just told that the board's decision to fire Sam Altman 'was not made in response to malfeasance' or the co's financial/safety/business practices.

'This was a breakdown in communication between Sam and the board.'

In my opinion, Kevin Roose is one of the more thoughtful folks in the media who are currently covering the incredibly hot topic of AI. I was excited to have him on #BehindTheTech to discuss his interest in tech, his experience as a journalist/author, and much more.
