Sean and Marco expose Black Hat 2025's AI marketing problem on Random and Unscripted: every vendor claimed "agentic AI" while CISOs couldn't tell them apart. Using the Greek myth of Talos, they warn we're surrendering decision-making to imperfect systems, creating echo chambers that make us "dumb and numb" to reality.
