<p>In this episode we explore brain-computer interfaces, discussing MIT&#39;s Alterego project and Joao&#39;s startup Wyrde AI, which aims to read thoughts through BCI-enabled glasses. While promising seamless AI interaction, concerns arise about mental focus and unintended actions.</p><p>As second topic we dive into OpenAI&#39;s research which reveals that AI hallucinations stem from training processes that reward guessing over admitting uncertainty - a problem the hosts recognize in human organizations where senior staff can make unfounded claims while juniors must stay cautious.</p><p>Brief news includes a proactive AI assistant that continuously monitors users without prompting, and Oracle&#39;s temporary rise as the world&#39;s most valuable company due to AI infrastructure hype.</p>
