The Economist.
Alex Ann, thanks for holding the fort while I've been away.
How has it been?
It's been fun.
I got terrified by infrared masks.
I had to hold my own against Tim Cross on a science topic, which is...
I heard that.
Quantum computing.
It's almost my world.
Better you than me.
Nikita Ostrovsky is also here.
Hi, Nikita.
Hi, it's great to be here.
And I wanted to bring both of you together because both of you write about AI for The Economist.
And I wanted you to help me understand something that I've been reading about.
It's been going on over the last few weeks,
which is some investigations about a hack on hugging face by some open AI models,
which, you know, in July, Nikita, you wrote about and both of you discussed on a previous babbage.
And I thought, great episode.
I understood what happened.
