🚀 Welcome to a Special Deep Dive on AI Unraveled.

We are witnessing the "Death of Reality." A new study reveals that 90% of people can no longer distinguish real video from AI-generated footage. In this episode, we explore the collapsing boundary between truth and simulation, and why your eyes and ears are no longer reliable witnesses.

We break down the Amazon "Project Dawn" leak, where an accidental email exposed 16,000 job cuts, proving how fragile corporate communication has become. We also analyze the $25M Arup fraud, where a finance worker was duped by a video call full of deepfaked executives, and the rise of GoldPickaxe, malware that steals your face to bypass banking security.
