The Glitchatorio
30-minute introductions to some of the trickiest issues around AI today, such as:
- The alignment problem
- Questions of LLM consciousness
- AI and animal welfare
- Scheming and hallucinations
The Glitchatorio is a podcast about the aspects of AI that don't fit neatly into marketing messages or notions of technology-as-destiny. We look into the failure modes, emergent mysteries and unexpected behaviors of artificial intelligence that baffle even the experts. You'll hear from technical researchers, data scientists and machine learning experts, as well as psychologists, philosophers and others whose work intersects with AI.
Most Glitchatorio episodes follow the standard podcast interview format. Sometimes these episodes alternate with fictional audio skits or personal voice notes.
The voices, music and audio effects you hear on The Glitchatorio are all recorded or composed by the Witch of Glitch; they are not AI-generated.

Who's the Tool?
AI is often called a tool, but it's a tool that changes the work you do while using it, and maybe even you yourself. In this episode, we'll hear from Lili, a professional AI tool tester, about the accelerated disruption that's already happening in the generative AI space and what's on the horizon. Plus: Lili shares some of her favorite tool glitches, and we dig into the weird and funny things that came out of Anthropic's recent experiment in AI shopkeeping.
