Well, hello everyone. This is EU Entangle with your favorite hosts, Alex, and Victor Aguilard.

And today we bring you an exciting topic. But before we dive into the topic, Alex, because the topic is artificial intelligence.

And it got me thinking, you know, that for all they talk about how AI is going to help us find novel cures and maybe, you know, crack

nuclear fission and perhaps even find extraterrestrial life or get answers to our deepest

philosophical questions. It also reminded me of a few cases when AI has gone wild or maybe

game. So basically all these users had complained on X that he had been throwing bricks all night

long at their windows and that their houses were destroyed. So Groch just reported that

on Twitter and then created a lot of confusion. Also, notably, that was Thompson's last game with that
