Is Generative AI moving too fast? From viral deepfake videos to powerful coding assistants, AI is reshaping our world at a breathtaking pace. But with this power comes immense risk: to our privacy, to intellectual property, and even to our ability to tell what's real. How do we navigate this complex new landscape responsibly?

In this episode, Allen sits down with Maggie Engler and Numa Dhamani, authors of "Intro to Gen AI, Second Edition" and veterans in the fields of cybersecurity and trust & safety. They pull back the curtain on how these powerful models are built, the societal impact they're having, and the urgent conversations we need to have about data governance, AI agents, and the looming digital trust crisis.

AI is everywhere, from coding assistants to chatbots, but what's really happening under the hood? It often feels like a "black box," but it doesn't have to be.

In this episode, Allen sits down with Manning author and AI expert Emmanuel Maggiori to demystify the core concepts behind Large Language Models (LLMs). Emmanuel, author of "The AI Pocket Book," breaks down the entire pipeline - from the moment you type a prompt to the second you get a response. He explains complex topics like tokens, embeddings, context windows, and the controversial training methods that make these powerful tools possible.

Heard of Zig? It's a modern systems programming language that's turning heads, often mentioned in the same breath as C and Rust. But what makes it so special, and why should you pay attention to it?

In this episode, Allen sits down with Garrison Hinson Hasty, author of one of the very first books on the language, "Systems Programming with Zig." Garrison breaks down the core philosophy behind Zig, explaining its unique approach to simplicity, performance, and giving power back to the developer.

This is a must-listen for any programmer curious about the next wave of low-level languages and looking to understand what makes Zig tick.
