Algorithmic Outing: When Your Feed Knows Before You Do

In this episode, Ray Cochrane digs into "algorithmic outing," new research showing that social feeds can infer your sexual orientation before you have consciously come out. He also covers Meta's privacy-aware AI infrastructure, Alberta's 466-million-line code scan with Claude, NVIDIA on reinforcement learning, and the many journeys of learning Rust. Along the way, he hits Google DeepMind's A24 deal, WhatsApp usernames, and scuba-diving cyborg cockroaches. Finally, he looks up with Webb's puzzling early universe, NASA's emergency telescope rescue, and a gorgeous aurora from orbit.
