**This is a preview of our premium weekend show, The Plug. To listen to the full episode, go to patreon.com/thedrain.** Merry Christmas, to all who celebrate. For this week's Plug we're looking at a couple of issues facing AI behemoths as the year comes to a close: First, we touch on a potential new iteration of The Big Short, wherein Wall Street is starting to short AI, leaving many wondering if this is the bubble the industry has been anticipating. We then take a look at a case involving a former Yahoo executive who died of suicide after "savagely" murdering his 83-year-old mother. Chat logs between the man and ChatGPT show a chilling discourse, wherein the model appears to affirm his paranoia and delusions. (Read the full lawsuit here.)
