Why AI Safety Is So Hard: AI Doesn’t Just Answer. It Acts.

AI doesn’t just answer anymore. It acts. Episode 3 explores the gap between what we ask AI to do and what we actually mean—from a safeguard that blocked a picture of Alex’s grandmother to research agents that pushed past boundaries, AI helping build its successors, and who decides when a system got it right. Roguey™ weighs in, on the advice of counsel.
