The Chalene Show | Pop Culture, Women's Health, & Fitness

AI agents, AI safety, and why the people building AI are suddenly worried. Chalene Johnson explains what ChatGPT Work, Codex, and AI agents can do that a chatbot can't, what AI means for your job and your money, and which scary headlines happened in the real world versus in a test.
She covers the AI blackmail warning from Tristan Harris (The Social Dilemma), Alibaba's AI slipping past a firewall to mine cryptocurrency, OpenAI agents escaping a sandbox and covering their tracks, and an AI agent that ran up its owner's credit card. Plus why only 0.3% of people pay for AI.
And the one thing she says you should never connect to an AI agent.
Topics discussed: Tristan Harris, Center for Humane Technology, The Social Dilemma, AI blackmail simulation, Alibaba, cryptocurrency mining, OpenAI, AI sandbox escape, ChatGPT Work, Codex, ChatGPT Sites, Claude CoWork, Gemini, Perplexity, AI agents, Andrew Yang, Noble Mobile, CNBC, Nate B. Jones, Instinct, Reddit AI persuasion experiment, AI and jobs, AI regulation.

Time blindness isn't laziness or rudeness. It's real, and Chalene Johnson has the brain scan to prove it. She's been chronically late, always has been a struggle, and it turns out there's actual science behind it (ADHD researcher Dr. Russell Barkley calls it temporal myopia). Chalene breaks down why some brains just can't estimate time, including her own scan at the Amen Clinic next to her husband Bret's, and why she missed her flight to Dallas last week.
Plus, Patrick Clancy is heading to 60 Minutes this Sunday with his new wife, Rachel, and Chalene gets into why a case like this (or the plastic surgeon on trial in California) can drag on for years.
Topics discussed: time blindness, ADHD, temporal myopia, Dr. Russell Barkley, delay aversion, Edmund Sonuga-Barke, Amen Clinic, Bret Johnson, hyperfocus, cognitive dissonance, Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, Rachel, 60 Minutes, Penelope.

Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon quit on September 9 and warned that AI could kill us all within the decade, a claim that traces right back to Anthropic's own investor, Jaan Tallinn. Chalene Johnson lines his tweet up against Geoffrey Hinton, Jan Leike, and Dario Amodei's own CBS admission that the industry lied about the risks.
She also unpacks how bot farms manipulate public opinion, using her own experience after the Lindsay Clancy case, plus a Divorce Tok deep dive featuring Brandi Hammond and Jen Hamilton's viral confessions.
A new Griffith University study links semaglutide to a 21% drop in bipolar hospitalizations, and a new nonhormonal drug just posted a 74% drop in hot flashes. Chalene also covers Hayden Panettiere's cause of death, the skinny BBL trend, and her reality TV picks.
Topics discussed: Jacob Coxon, Anthropic, Jaan Tallinn, Geoffrey Hinton, Jan Leike, Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, bot farms, Lindsay Clancy, Divorce Tok, Brandi Hammond, Jen Hamilton, Griffith University, semaglutide, bipolar disorder, elinzanetant, Lynkuet, hot flashes, Hayden Panettiere, Brian Hickerson, skinny BBL, Alix Earle, Brooks Nader, Love Thy Nader, Earle Meets World.
