The Man Who Tried to Hypnotise a Courthouse
Season 2026
Episode 5
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
A Connecticut litigant hid white-on-white instructions in his court filings telling any AI reading them to rule in his favour — and got caught by humans who thought the paragraph spacing looked odd. Plus: a study finds frontier labs still won't say how they'd contain a rogue model, and Beijing debuts a robot horse with a robot passenger. Abby thinks it's the first draft of something; Boyd thinks the font was the only mistake.
