When AI Plays HR Roulette: Rogue Models, Human Holograms & The Layoff Lottery
They Might Be Self-Aware Podcast (TMBSA) - EPISODE 71 HIT SUBSCRIBE AND SAVE THE KITTENS! This week, we're asking the big question: Are AI models censored or just REALLY polite? Dive into the world of homegrown AI — turns out, setting up your own AI lab is easier than finding a matching sock. But wait, we’re not stopping there. Agentic AI is storming the workplace, raising the monumental question: Do AI "employees" need an HR department? Watch your back, project managers and junior developers — AI might just be gunning for your jobs. But in the future, will you be able to distinguish your human colleague from an AI counterpart? Join us as we imagine a not-so-distant office reality featuring the rise of AI coworkers—and the inevitable HR interventions to keep the peace. Just another normal day at "They Might Be Self-Aware"!
