Our hosts unpack its lobster-themed lore and early community drama, consider whether the site represents truly autonomous agent activity or human direction, and assess the cybersecurity risks. ## Learn More About Paul, Weiss’s Artificial Intelligence practice:https://www.paulweiss.com/industries/artificial-intelligence
