Description: Researcher and journalist Adam Smith joins us this week to talk about what happens when AI boosters hype up their own speculation.

Adam explains the tricks AI boosters used to present their bots as smarter than they actually were, and why Moltbook should be considered more as theatre, than a glimpse into the future of communication.
