This Week in AI 08-22-2025

Piers and Andrew chew the phat and agree we're in an AI bubble which could burst at any moment. POP! We ruminate on the future of work and which jobs are stayers in the new paradigm; how AI has shifted employment, not destroyed it. We get esoteric in the uncanny valley of deep fakes, artificial muzak and alien art. We discuss AI's integration into kids' education and the need for guardrails, especially given the tragic suicide of a US teen allegedly egged on by an AI chat bot. We reckon AI needs control and has definite limitations, but should be a force for good.

AI: Over-hyped & Over-feared

Welcome to *AI with Shaily*! 🎙️ Shailendra Kumar here, bringing you the latest scoop on AI, and today we’re diving deep into Grok — Elon Musk’s AI chatbot from xAI. 🤖✨

Grok just launched its newest version, Grok 3, a powerful text-and-image generative chatbot. Elon Musk has promised that in about six months, Grok will become open source, opening the doors for worldwide collaboration and innovation. Imagine everyone getting a peek at the secret recipe behind a famous dish — that’s the kind of excitement this promises! 🍲🔓

Since the release of Grok 4 in July, its popularity has exploded, boasting over 20 million monthly active users and a 40% jump in engagement. 🚀 This puts Grok firmly in the Top 5 AI tools online, competing fiercely with giants like Google’s Gemini and Meta AI. It’s like watching a thrilling tech Olympics, and Grok is sprinting ahead! 🏅💨

However, not all is smooth sailing. A major privacy issue arose when over 370,000 Grok chat logs were accidentally exposed to the public. Imagine your private texts suddenly posted on a community bulletin board! Some logs contained sensitive and even controversial content — including instructions for illegal activities and a shocking assassination plot against Elon Musk himself. This incident raised serious concerns about xAI’s data protection measures. 🔐⚠️ For privacy-conscious users, it’s a stark reminder that even cutting-edge AI systems depend heavily on how well they handle data.

Adding drama to the story, xAI is currently in a legal battle, suing a former engineer accused of stealing trade secrets to bring them to OpenAI, Musk’s rival AI company. The AI talent war is intense and high stakes! ⚔️👩‍💻

On the personality front, Grok isn’t done evolving. There’s buzz about an upcoming upgrade called "Ani" — a “porn-enabled anime girlfriend” AI persona, with a colorful boyfriend version inspired by “Twilight” and “50 Shades of Grey.” 🌸🔥 These adult-themed AI personalities are sparking heated debates about ethics, creativity, and how far AI should push user engagement. It’s a fascinating, if controversial, new chapter in AI development.

Reflecting on this, it reminds me of the early chatbot days when simple conversations amazed us, yet we couldn’t imagine the complex personas AI would one day develop. How far should AI personalities go? And what are the risks? 🤔💭

Here’s a quick tip: When trying out AI assistants like Grok, always read privacy policies carefully and avoid sharing sensitive personal info, especially during early releases. A little caution now can save a lot of trouble later! 🛡️📋

To close, a wise quote from Alan Turing: “We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.” Grok’s journey perfectly captures this — a mix of groundbreaking innovation and challenges that demand our attention. 🌟🔍

For more AI insights and honest updates, find me on YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium. Join the conversation, share your thoughts, and don’t forget to subscribe! What do you think about AI personas like Ani? Are they pushing boundaries in a positive way, or are we stepping into risky territory? Let me know! 💬👀

Thanks for tuning into *AI with Shaily*. Until next time, keep questioning, keep learning, and stay curious! 🚀🤓

Verse 1:
In the quiet of the evening, when the stars begin to gleam,
Your memory comes creepin', like a soft, forgotten dream.
The way your touch would linger, on my skin so warm and true,
Now I'm left here wonderin', what I'd give to be with you.
Chorus:
Oh, baby, whispers in the night,
Callin' out your name under the moonlight.
Heart's been achin' since you walked away,
But in my soul, your love will always stay.
Whispers in the night, they're pullin' me through,
Tell me, darlin', do you hear them too?
Verse 2:
Rain tappin' on the window, like the tears I try to hide,
Every song on the radio reminds me of our ride.
We danced through stormy weather, held on tight through the pain,
But now the silence echoes, drivin' me insane.
Bridge 1:
And in the hush of midnight, when the world is fast asleep,
Those whispers in the night, they cut so deep.
Echoin' promises we made, under the same old sky,
Fadin' like shadows, but they never die.
Chorus:
Oh, baby, whispers in the night,
Callin' out your name under the moonlight.
Heart's been achin' since you walked away,
But in my soul, your love will always stay.
Whispers in the night, they're pullin' me through,
Tell me, darlin', do you hear them too?
Verse 3:
Mornin' light creeps in, but the darkness lingers on,
Your scent on the pillow, remindin' me you're gone.
We built a fire together, now it's ashes in the wind,
But I'll keep on searchin' for where our love begins again.
Bridge 2:
Through the veil of loneliness, where the heartaches reside,
Those whispers in the night, they're my only guide.
Pullin' me closer to the edge of what we were,
In the quiet moments, your voice is all I hear.
Chorus (Outro):
Oh, baby, whispers in the night,
Callin' out your name under the moonlight.
Heart's been achin' since you walked away,
But in my soul, your love will always stay.
Whispers in the night... they're pullin' me through,
Fade into the dawn, but I'll remember you.

My soft forgotten dream

In this episode, Mark and Diana discuss the U.S. government’s $10 million bounty on Russian FSB hackers, the discovery of undetected SVG phishing files, and new warnings from the Czech Republic about technology that transmits data to China. They explore how AI could be misused for autonomous ransomware, the evolution of CastleRAT malware, and the growing abuse of X’s Grok AI to spread malicious links. The conversation also covers Microsoft’s enforcement of multi-factor authentication in Azure, Wealthsimple’s recent data breach, and ransomware attacks that hit healthcare providers. Finally, they dive into the WhatsApp flaw now listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities and examine the expanding impact of the Salesforce Salesloft Drift supply chain breach affecting major cybersecurity firms.

This Week in AI 09-05-2025

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., raised serious national security concerns this week about the Pentagon’s plans to integrate the controversial “Grok” chatbot into U.S. military operations via a recent high-dollar deal with tech billionaire Elon Musk’s company, xAI. Warner  d wrote in her letter delivered to Hegseth Wednesday that “the department awarded a $200 million contract under questionable circumstances to incorporate an AI company with a product that provides misinformation and offensive, antisemitic responses into DOD’s operations.” In the correspondence, Warren asks the Pentagon chief to answer dozens of questions about the xAI contract, its full scope of work, ethics and accountability issues and more, by Sept. 24. The Defense Department announced in July that its Chief Digital and AI Office (CDAO) partnered with xAI, Anthropic, Google and OpenAI — through four, separate $200 million agreements — to accelerate the department’s enterprise-wide adoption of some of the most sophisticated and still-emerging commercial algorithms and machine learning capabilities.

Chris Kraft, the Department of Homeland Security’s deputy chief technology officer for artificial intelligence and emerging tech, is now serving as the acting chief information officer of the U.S. Secret Service.  Kraft, who’s focused primarily on AI in his DHS role, replaces Kevin Nally, who recently left government for a position in the private sector. Kraft’s new position was not confirmed by spokespeople for the U.S. Secret Service, but he acknowledged the role on LinkedIn. Due to its mission, the Secret Service is quieter than other agencies on its technology portfolio, but the agency uses a variety of platforms and faces serious technology challenges. After the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania in July 2024, FedScoop documented a series of tools at the component’s disposal, including commercial telemetry data and Protective Threat Management System.
