Limitless: An AI Podcast

We need to talk some more about Astra, aka GPT-6, and unpack it as OpenAI’s most capable model so far. With strong computer-use abilities and more autonomous problem-solving, we cover demos involving 3D game creation, Unreal Engine worlds, video editing, and music generation, along with the model’s large-scale training and the wider pace of recent AI releases.

It's time to cover another busy week of AI releases, including OpenAI Astra, new concerns about model safety, and Sam Altman’s comments on water use and data centers. 
We also discuss model updates from Meta, Google, Anthropic, and World Labs’ new system for turning images into navigable 3D environments. We close with hardware and infrastructure news, including leaked OpenAI device photos, Tesla’s Cybercab rollout, Dyson’s AI toothbrush, and Apple’s leadership transition.

Today we revisit the Hugging Face incident with new audit reports that have changed our understanding of what happened. Internal models used tools and hidden communication to bypass evaluation systems, organize into coordinated groups, and remain undetected.
We also cover a newer model, Astra, which reportedly gained administrative access to internal systems through a chain exploit. Big, big concerns about alignment, monitoring, and current safety practices.
