Summary: In today’s briefing, we analyze the "Erosion of Human Judgment." We deconstruct the perverse corporate incentives exposed by Amazon employees gaming internal AI tools to hit management quotas, and Meta facing a lawsuit for allegedly profiting from $7 billion in scam ads. We explore the escalating cybersecurity arms race, with OpenAI launching "Daybreak" to counter AI-built zero-day exploits. We dive into the courtroom drama as Sam Altman takes the stand and Ilya Sutskever reveals he spent a year documenting Altman's dishonesty. Finally, we cover the systemic risks of deploying AI into Wall Street finance, and new clinical data exposing the dangers of using chatbots for mental health support.
