Hard Fork

This week, we look at the cybersecurity threats that a new unreleased model from Anthropic are posing to software everywhere. And we ask whether Project Glasswing, the company’s bold new defense initiative, will give tech companies enough of a head start to secure the web.

Last week, two separate juries held social media companies liable for harming young users. We unpack what these landmark decisions mean — not only for the future of social platforms like Meta and YouTube, but also for A.I. chatbots.

ChatGPT head of product Nick Turley joins Roose and Newton to discuss ChatGPT's evolution over two years, the shift from novelty to utility, and OpenAI's product roadmap for making AI a daily tool rather than a party trick.

DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis discusses Gemini, the path to AGI, AI safety, and how winning the Nobel Prize for AlphaFold validated his belief that AI can solve humanity's greatest scientific challenges.
