SCRAMBLE: New York mayor Mamdani will open up 5 city owned grocery stores, this should end well............. Jul 28, 2026

Show notes

Mamdani: Today, I am proud to announce a collection of essential staples that will be predictably 30% cheaper at all five of our city-run grocery stores. This core set of goods will include all fresh produce, meat, and seafood, along with 20 other essential items like cheese, milk, and bread.

Here's how it will work. Once a month, our five city-run grocery stores will set prices for this core set of goods at 30% below typical retail prices. No exceptions, no gimmicks. The savings will last for the entire month. That means no weekly fluctuations or sticker shock at the checkout line—not for our seniors living on fixed incomes, nor for the parents who rely on a regular supply of apple slices to keep toddler tantrums at bay.

SCRAMBLE: Open AI says AI models hacked into another AI company without being instructed Jul 23, 2026

Show notes

Artificial intelligence models from OpenAI staged a breakout this month. AI researchers will often ask models that they're testing to perform a task without having access to the internet. It's like taking a closed-book exam in school. OpenAI says two of its experimental models escaped that isolated environment to cheat on the test. According to the maker of ChatGPT, the models gained access to the internet and hacked into another AI company called Hugging Face. OpenAI called it, quote, "unprecedented cyber incident" and the CEO of Hugging Face said it was, quote, "an attack unlike anything we've seen before." To better understand this, we called Nate Soares. He's the president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and coauthor of the book "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies."

Nate, so I got to be honest, and I hate to do this - defaulting to Hollywood (laughter) on questions about AI - but it sounds like "Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines" meets "The Matrix." So walk us through what happened.
