Welcome back to The FAIK Files: the show that keeps you informed on all things artificial intelligence and natural nonsense.

In this week's episode, we explore:

• AI companies' partnerships with US defense contractors, including OpenAI's recent deal with Anduril Industries


• How ElevenLabs' voice cloning technology was exploited for Russian propaganda


• Pinokio, a user-friendly platform for running AI models locally


• A quirky story about a smooth talking AI powered robot who managed to "kidnap" several other robots
