Agentic AI: Working As Instructed
Agentic AIs are showing promise for tedious work. But it’s hard to explain exactly how you want it done—and getting it wrong could create big problems. This episode of Compiler investigates how Agentic AIs could carry out their tasks and how some agents are taking their baby steps in the wide world. The team also considers the difficulties humans have expressing what we want computers to do for us, and how that could create unintended consequences.

Diagnosing and Dispelling AI Hallucinations
AI is notorious for making stuff up. But it doesn’t always tell you when it does. That’s a problem for users who may not realize hallucinations are possible.
This episode of Compiler investigates the persistent problem of AI Hallucination. Why does AI lie? Do these AI models know they’re hallucinating? What can we do to minimize hallucinations—or at least get better at seeing them?

Chasing Its Own Tail
With the massive flow of AI-generated content onto the internet, it was only a matter of time until all of those bits of data found their way back into AI models. But what do you get when generative AI models start getting their answers from that content?
