Update: 2023-08-189
Description
When Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested in December, he was confined to his parents’ house — but he was left free to roam the internet. Today, the New York Times reporter David Yaffe-Bellany talks about how access to the cyberworld allowed Mr. Bankman-Fried to violate his bail terms and land himself in jail.
Then, how universities can manage a generative A.I. world.
Plus: another look at autonomous vehicles.
On Today’s Episode:
- David Yaffe-Bellany, a cryptocurrency and financial technology reporter for The New York Times.
- Ethan Mollick, an associate professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania who is experimenting with generative A.I. in the classroom.
Additional Information:
- Sam Bankman-Fried was sent to jail after violating his bail terms. The court dispute over his bail focused on a New York Times article that described writings by Caroline Ellison, an FTX executive who had also dated Mr. Bankman-Fried.
- A driverless car got stuck in wet concrete in San Francisco this week.

@1:01:26: This argument makes no sense. Unused cars aren't on the road. Self-driving cars might reduce the number of cars in existence, but not necessarily the number of cars on the road, the number of miles driven, etc. (I don't consider parked cars part of the problem you mentioned.)
