Welcome back to the FAIK Files!In this episode: <ul>
<li>Perry cracks open a chaotic grab bag: A couple updates from Perry and the National Cybersecurity Alliance. Plus two new reality-bending image models that raise the bar again — this time with people that really look like people and text that actually looks like text!</li>
<li>We sit down with former FBI special agent, Cameron Malin.— a deception expert and behavioral profiler who helped build the FBI’s Cyber Behavioral Analysis Unit from the ground up. If you’ve ever wondered how the feds spot a lie before it’s even told, this one’s for you.</li>
<li>And we wrap with our AI Dumpster Fire of the Week: a hot mess of slop, bots, and algorithmic trash that’s flooding the internet with synthetic sludge.</li>
