Anthropic engineer Aymeric Roucher joins the Transmission podcast to discuss whether AI could enslave us (answer: it depends on how we use it), why today's LLM labs resemble gardeners rather than mechanics, and how AI could be the elephant in the porcelain shop of an upcoming presidential election.
