After 25+ years of development, Hampton researches AI applications through the lens of creative misuse. While others follow best practices, he explores what AI can actually do when you ignore the guardrails—across security, development, and everyday problems. His approach combines hacker curiosity with academic rigor, finding that the most valuable insights come from treating AI tools as raw materials rather than finished products. You'll see real examples of AI doing things it wasn't designed for, and learn why that matters for security and beyond.
