EMMA GETS THE FIRST CHALLENGE COIN as our first two-time guest!

AI Stress Test
When evolution stops being random
Over 80 years ago, Alexander Fleming witnessed what he feared most - bacteria evolving resistance to penicillin within a decade of its mass introduction; yet, despite his public warnings, the cascade of resistance emerged precisely as foreseen - triggering an evolutionary arms race where successive antibiotic deployments accelerated rather than slowed resistance emergence, collapsing therapeutic horizons across bacterial species. In leading edge research released this month, Google's Threat Intelligence Group identified regenerative AI-native malware families employing just-in-time code regeneration, via LLMs, to rewrite their entire source code hourly to evade detection - rendering traditional incident responses fundamentally misaligned with threat velocity. ...

And apparently no one really cared. :( The film received middling reviews and box office upon release. However following in the tradition of another maligned, often misunderstood genre epic which he directed back in the 1980's - Blade Runner - Ridley Scott arranged to have HIS own personal extended director's cut released to DVD, including at least forty minutes of...
