AI prescribes Prozac, and Anthropic's Mythos is too dangerous

About this episode

In this episode, Mark Stockley and guest Ethan Ding discuss AI's impact on data centers, job losses, and the implications of AI prescribing antidepressants.

In episode 97 of The AI Fix, Mark is joined by Ethan Ding, one of the sharpest contrarian voices in AI, to explore why almost half of America's announced data centres aren't being built, and why AI job losses are not what they seem. Also in this episode, California approves a startup to let AI prescribe antidepressants; Sam Altman pitches a New Deal for the age of superintelligence while sitting on the biggest pile of private capital ever raised; and Anthropic decides it's built a model so dangerous it can't let anyone use it.
