Ryan and Jason discuss several AI stories, including security flaws found in custom GPT models that could allow them to reveal private data they were trained on. They talk about the implications for security as more customized AI is published publicly.

They cover Microsoft's agreement with a major union group, the AFL-CIO, promising not to interfere if employees seek to unionize. This continues Microsoft's stance supporting potential unionization, also seen in their acquisition negotiations with Activision Blizzard. The hosts discuss how this move by Microsoft aims to position themselves as a "responsible AI" company long-term.

Moving to Hollywood, the hosts talk about "Availe," an AI service that analyzes movie/TV scripts to automatically create breakdowns, similar to how Claude summarizes documents. This shows how some parts of the entertainment industry are adopting AI despite resistance from groups like the screenwriters guild.

Finally, the hosts look at an experiment connecting brain cells to an AI system, allowing it to recognize voices based on the cells' reactions. While intrigued by the possibilities, they acknowledge the ethical issues with such brain-computer interfaces.

The episode wraps up with Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO, being named the "Person of the Year" for the major societal impact chatGPT has quickly had since launching at the end of November 2022.
