The Peter McCormack Show
The engineers building artificial intelligence don’t fully understand how it works.
Many people think AI is carefully engineered. In reality, it’s closer to something being grown and these systems are evolving in ways even their creators struggle to predict.
AI researcher and former LLM builder Connor Leahy explains what’s happening inside the labs: why the alignment problem remains unsolved, why the race to AGI is accelerating, and why the people leading it may be moving faster than they understand.
We also discuss AI risk, Silicon Valley’s power dynamics, the Department of Defense’s growing involvement and the rise of “AI psychosis.”

📌 EDITOR’S NOTE: The AI Whistleblower
Connor breaks down the complex math of how AI works in the first 20 minutes to prove his point. But if you are here for the specific warnings about "AI Psychosis," the Silicon Valley Elite, and the "Spiral Cults," jump straight to these key moments:
– [48:38] – The rise of "AI Psychosis" & Spiral Cults
– [1:11:45] – "Sociopaths Domesticating Nerds" (The Silicon Valley Takedown)
– [1:29:45] – What happens if we fail to stop it?

And then an IREN commercial comes on
This is so scary stuff. It's worse than nukes.
It's all ready out. It's to late. That's trump is really worried about. With Iran. Good er be friends with Russia and China. India. We must be friends.
I want many people over what we allow them to do.
That's not prejudice. That's reality.
I see what was laughing about them being a life form.a life without a contous. Means death.lol
But not joking
It don't need food. It knows how to make batteries ,how to charge them
What if they plot a rebellion. Termanator people. Ya it's it a joke now. Just look how things are happening today compared days gone buy.

Humans will be unnecessary to them. Well that's how I feel.
Satan wasn't human. We really don't know what he really was. Or what an angel really is.
