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,
