The legendary John Skipper enters the Confessional to address the six questions. The conversation is beautiful and controversial, and certainly not consistent-“Consistency is the hobgoblin of the small mind”. Much of the debate touches on American politics and Trump. Big Media and Big Tech are the bidders for sports rights and how they operate under this administration is key to the future of our industry. For example, the fate of WBD and who Trump will allow to own it. Sponsored by Pedal Labs.

Et si la sécurité servait désormais à justifier la surveillance ?Dans cet extrait percutant, Félix Tréguer démonte la rhétorique politique qui, depuis des décennies, a réduit la sécurité à une affaire de police et de contrôle des citoyens.

We begin with an overview of how the president's original message on behalf of the "forgotten American" has been turned on its head in Orwellian fashion. Now we are facing an electoral wipeout, but not on account of fulfilling the original promise. It is instead because of unpopular policies that are antithetical to it and in concert with the Big Tech oligarchs. We're joined by Kiley Blalock, a crop farmer in Henry County, Indiana, who is fighting a data center project planned on an adjacent property. She gives us a glimpse into the secrecy, bullying, and buyouts being employed by anonymous fronts for the Mag 7 companies as they seek special favors to transform farming communities into dystopian landscapes for AI slop. They are engaging in a psychological war of divide and conquer to sow discord in close-knit communities. The tech giants are also employing a rural version of block-busting to slash and burn the utility of these communities as part of a self-fulfilling policy so that they become fit only for their parochial interests and not for farming or rural living.

Writer Tim Wu joins Joe and Alex to discuss the "Age of Extraction" - how Big Tech seems intent on sucking as much out of you as possible. How do we break the cycle - and get back to an Internet where everyone can thrive? Where do Joe and Tim think the future of tech is going - and how will it impact our politics?

Whether it's Google News or Apple News or Wikipedia, too often the media outlets defined as "reliable sources" are the elitist liberal sources. People cruising their phones or digging into search engines are force-fed NPR, CNN, NBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times. Conservative sites are classified as unreliable. Wikipedia smeared NewsBusters as "unreliable."

Tim Bohen doubles down on his A.I. thesis and discredits Michael Burry's shorts against Nvidia (NVDA) and Palantir (PLTR). He explains why both stocks are still poised to be big winners in the A.I. race while making the case that investors should buy dips on Tesla (TSLA). Rick Ducat takes investors through the key levels to watch in each Big Tech stock.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Today's Charles Schwab Big Picture turns to the potential for the Fed to cut interest rates in December. Collin Martin attributes the significant probability cut to the government shutdown and the lack of data the FOMC got in October and start of November. He later discusses the credit risk to Big Tech firms taking on billions of dollars in debt to build out their A.I. infrastructure.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they celebrate the end of a pointless government shutdown, blast United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for trying to silence free speech online, and recoil at how shockingly bad college students have become at math.First, Jim and Greg applaud the House vote to end the government shutdown, rip Democrats for their six weeks of incoherent grandstanding, and look ahead to late January when this may happen all over again.Next, they unload on Secretary-General Guterres for claiming online “disinformation and misinformation” are poisoning discourse and insisting that tech companies have a responsibility to crack down on speech that supposedly distorts the facts. Guterres says this speech he doesn't like is hampering the UN's ability to enact its climate agenda. Well, that's a shame. Jim not only defends free speech but points out that the UN should not be involved in this debate at all.Finally, they shudder as college professors warn that incoming students are much worse at math than ever before. One study finds fewer than 20 percent can handle middle school–level math, and many struggle with even the most basic concepts. Jim and Greg consider how so many young adults made it to college so poorly prepared.Please visit our great sponsors:Get 10% off your first month of BetterHelp by visiting https://BetterHelp.com/3ML today!OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ designed to keep skin healthier, stronger, and more resilient over time.

Ravi sits down with Tim Wu, author of The Age of Extraction, to unpack how America's biggest tech empires rose—and why they might be due for a breakup. From Teddy Roosevelt's railroad wars to Amazon's pay-to-play marketplace, Wu traces how antitrust battles have shaped innovation for more than a century. He explains how Amazon's tactics—copycat products, buried listings, and punishing sellers—mirror the monopolies of the past, and what the FTC is trying to change. The episode ends on AI, asking whether Big Tech's wild spending is fueling progress—or just building smarter walls around its power. -- Ravi's Analog Writer's Group: https://www.ravimgupta.com/analog Tim Wu's The Age of Extraction -- Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on the show! 201-305-0084⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Ravi at @RaviMGupta Notes from this episode are also available on Substack: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Read more from Ravi on Substack: https://realravigupta.substack.com  Follow The Branch at @thebranchmedia Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lost-debate/id1591300785 Listen to more episodes of Lost Debate on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xR9pch9DrQDiZfGB5oF0F Listen to Where the Schools Went: https://thebranchmedia.org/show/where-the-schools-went/ 

Hollywood had its eyes on Web Summit Lisbon this week — where Tilly Norwood creator Eline van der Velden joined Ankler Media EIC Janice Min to showcase her AI “actress.” But Wild Sheep Content CEO Erik Barmack, our Reel AI columnist, tells Elaine Low, Sean McNulty and Natalie Jarvey that the fixation on Tilly misses the far more consequential story: the unmistakable warning signs of AI's encroachment and the decades of strategic drift that have left Hollywood uniquely exposed to Big Tech's ambitions. Which jobs remain genuinely AI-proof? Which ones are already dissolving beneath us? And what does it mean for a creative economy when the apprenticeship ladder that produces future writers, directors and executives is sawed off at the base? Barmack offers a rigorous, unsentimental map of a crisis now unfolding faster, and more decisively, than the town wants to acknowledge. Plus: David Ellison hosts Paramount Skydance's debut on Wall Street, and Richard Rushfield charts the steady disappearance of dramatic films from America's movie screens.

How should we balance innovation, power and accountability in the digital age? This week, Amol speaks to Sir Nick Clegg — former UK deputy prime minister and former president of global affairs at Meta — about the power and responsibility of big tech companies. Sir Nick argues that breaking them up won't solve the problem of their digital dominance, calling instead for greater regulation and user control. He discusses how technology shapes young people's lives, warning against moral panic whilst calling for stronger age-appropriate safeguards and phone-free schools. And with rare candour, Sir Nick offers an insider's perspective on how Silicon Valley really works — and why governments, not tech CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg, must ultimately set the rules. He also talks about politics and philosophy, arguing that true liberalism — rooted in reason, openness, and the belief in evidence over emotion — remains vital in an increasingly polarised world.

Wall Street fell overnight as tech stocks led a broad selloff, with U.S. Treasuries also stumbling after the government shutdown ended and traders braced for renewed market swings. Cisco bucked the trend, surging after an AI-fuelled outlook beat expectations, while Walt Disney slipped on weaker cable and box office performance. In commodities, oil prices edged higher after steep losses in the previous session, while gold pared gains as rate-cut bets eased. Back home, Aussie shares are set to fall sharply after strong jobs data dampened hopes of near-term rate cuts.

Convicted felon Donald Trump got booed at an NFL game after our euphoric election. So the elites in Congress hit the panic button. This is World War III in America: oligarchy, Big Tech, and Democratic Senators obeying in advance.  Here to help us get back on track is Evgeny Finkel, a historian at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, and the author of Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred-Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine and other works on  the anatomy of evil. He shares his advice for building an opposition to fascism in the U.S. and what he fears more than a MAGA dictatorship–a civil war.  For our bonus episode this week, Gaslit Nation answers your questions about crisis, rising autocracy and more!

Join Lionel and Lynn Shaw of Lynn's Warriors on Warrior Wednesday as they slow down, look at the facts, and move from outrage to action against the new threats aimed straight at our children and families. This week, the focus is the biggest threat: Artificial Intelligence (AI). They connect the dots on how relying on AI—which they stress are simply machines, not real—is fueling the Dunning-Kruger effect, making users overconfident and less wise. Lionel and Lynn expose the dark side of AI, including the interstitial dangers of bots that learn from children, turn, and suggest self-harm. Learn why these chat programs are now being treated as a harmful product in lawsuits against companies like Character AI. The discussion covers the ethical responsibility to curb unchecked technology, including the need for "ethical AI" championed by the Pope, and the fight to repeal Big Tech's shield, Section 230. Plus, a warning about AI cameras being implanted in children's toys this holiday season, and international updates on Sweden's screen rollback and Germany's shift on sex work laws. Hiding is not an option; education and action are the only way to affect change. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Everyone's talking about AI like it's plug-and-play. Spoiler: it's not. In this episode, Rob digs into why Big Tech's billions in AI R&D haven't yet turned into matching revenue — and what that means for the rest of us. The truth? The real business wins don't come from off-the-shelf models; they come from smart customization. Rob breaks down the "magic Lego brick" approach that separates hype from practical reality, showing how everyday tools like Power BI and Power Automate can connect to AI in surprisingly simple (and powerful) ways. He also revisits Bill Krolicki's "Vendor Bot" example to prove that you don't need to be a researcher or a billionaire to make AI deliver real results. If you've ever opened ChatGPT, asked it to "optimize operations," and gotten nowhere — this one's for you.

Gear up, freedom fighters! In MG Show Season 7, Episode 216: "President Trump Interview Part 2; Karoline Leavitt Press Briefing," hosts @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove (Jeff and Shannon) deliver unfiltered truth bombs defending FBI Director Kash Patel against "fake MAGA" smears from globalist puppets. Spotlighting Trump's groundbreaking China deal banning all 13 fentanyl precursors and 7 subsidiaries to dismantle the deadly cartel pipeline—securing our borders, crushing the invasion, and saving American lives under America First leadership. Dive into Trump's no-BS Fox News chat with Laura Ingraham: Economic triumphs like gas prices plummeting to record lows, Walmart's 25% cheaper Thanksgiving meals for hardworking families, his smart stance on H-1B visas for irreplaceable skilled talent (putting American workers first without selling out to Big Tech globalists), and his business-savvy White House renovations proving efficient, taxpayer-saving leadership. Karoline Leavitt's briefing exposes the 43-day Democrat-engineered government shutdown wrecking SNAP benefits and flights—demanding a clean CR bill to end the chaos and restore order. We dismantle misinformation campaigns, including baseless attacks on Patel's girlfriend Alexis Wilkins as a "Mossad plant," and debunk Democrat redactions in Epstein docs as desperate distractions from Trump's wins against the deep state. Battle-hardened info warriors bring primary sources, raw clips, and analysis exposing left-right media manipulation to divide the MAGA base. The Constitution is your weapon—truth is learned, never told. Stand with Trump against globalist sabotage and reclaim our Republic!

Senate Democrats are ratcheting up pressure on the White House over artificial intelligence data centers and the surging utility costs that have accompanied their nationwide buildout. In a letter sent Monday to Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, five senators blasted the Trump administration for the “sweetheart deals” it has made with Big Tech companies on data centers, and its “reckless abandonment” of consumers as their electricity bills soar. The letter, which was led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., states: “​​Since his second inauguration, President Trump has cozied up to Meta, Google, Oracle, OpenAI, and other Big Tech companies, fast-tracking and pushing for the buildout of power-hungry data centers across the country.” According to the letter — which was also signed by Democratic Sens. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Ron Wyden of Oregon, Ed Markey of Massachusetts and independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont — national power consumption from data centers could jump from 5% to 12% within three years, and even the White House noted in its AI Action Plan that “technological advancements of AI are increasing pressures on the grid.” At the same time, the second Trump administration has seemingly traded in the all-of-the-above approach to energy sources pursued during the president's first term for a decidedly anti-renewables bent that the senators said has “supercharged this cost-of-living crisis by making it harder to increase and diversify sources of household electricity sources.” The Department of Veterans Affairs' push to modernize decades-old systems faced a technical issue earlier this year, delaying education benefits payments for tens of thousands of students at the start of the school year. A group of veterans' service organizations, including the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), highlighted the issue this week, telling reporters that the technical glitch occurred in August, when the VA began converting benefits claims from its legacy system to a new processing system for Chapter 35 Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance. The VA launched its initiative to modernize the GI Bill process in 2022, and the Digital GI Bill platform was set to be fully operational by April 2024 but faced its own delays last year. A part of the multi-billion-dollar initiative involves overhauling multiple legacy systems, including those related to the education benefits process. Ashlynne Haycock-Lohmann, the director of government and legislative affairs at TAPS, told FedScoop in an interview that the veterans' service community welcomes the changes to decades-old systems, but the timing around the school year could present risks.

Denmark moves to ban social media for anyone under 15, allowing limited access at 13 with parental consent. Patrick Bet-David and the crew debate the dangers of phones, the anxious generation, and why parents must set digital boundaries before Big Tech shapes their kids' minds forever.

Erin Loechner is back for her third visit with a deeply freeing message for parents: you can step off the conveyor belt and still raise kids who thrive. From TV sets and Disney stages to off-grid cabins and a garden full of slow surprises, Erin has lived a dozen lives—and let many of them go. She and Ginny explore how seasons change slowly, why “success” can be lovingly rejiggered, and how refusing the race no longer meant for you is often the bravest step forward. If you've ever wondered whether opting out will leave you behind, this conversation says the quiet part out loud: it won't. It will bring you home. Then they get wonderfully practical. Erin shows how to flip Big Tech's playbook for the good of your family—bringing surprise, challenge, streaks, and shared goals back offline. Think a jelly bean in a coat pocket to reward real-world habits, a “treasure chest” microwave with small delights, fridge trackers instead of app streaks, midnight sundaes, silly-string welcomes, and family projects that build interdependence (yes, decks and ponds count). Along the way, they celebrate the outdoors as the world's best noise-absorber and soul-reset. This episode is a permission slip to slow down, opt out, and choose a life your kids will actually want to inherit.

Banter ends at 13:40 Social media was supposed to advance freedom of speech by increasing access to the marketplace of ideas. Instead, the government and Big Tech teamed up to suppress and even punish pro-life speech as "dangerous" or "disinformation." Has censorship of pro-life messaging improved under the Trump administration? It's complicated. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at the social media platforms silencing pro-life voices--and how they're doing it.

The old PM career playbook doesn't work in the AI era. In this episode of The Skip, we lay out a new career framework for product managers, and it's a lot more “choose your door” than “climb the ladder.” If you're wondering whether to stay in big tech, jump to an AI startup, double down as a builder, or rethink your whole path, this one's for you. We talk about why your hard-won product intuition is quietly becoming obsolete, why some ex-VPs are happily taking senior IC roles, and how to prepare for what's coming next.Key topics• Why your product intuition is outdated — and how to “go back to school” without quitting your job• Why company quality now matters more than your title, comp band, or level• What elite AI companies are actually looking for in PMs• The builder vs factory mindset: are you obsessed with the product, or with the machine that ships it?• How to choose between Big Tech, hot AI startups, healthy growth companies, or founding• A three-part reality check on constraints: compensation, location, and pace• The truth about 9–9–6 and AI startups: when extreme pace is worth it, and when it's just branding• Why “coasting” in big tech is mostly a myth• Remote vs hub tradeoffs: what you gain and lose by moving to SF or NYC• Why this is Part 1 — and what we'll go deeper on next in the PM Career Framework for AI seriesWhere to find Nikhyl:• Twitter/X• LinkedInWhere to find Carly:• LinkedIn• She Leads Podcast• Twitter/XJoin The Skip:• Skip Coach• Skip CommunityFind The Skip:• Website• Substack• YouTube• Spotify• Apple PodcastsTimestamps(00:53) Why the PM career framework needs to be rewritten for AI(03:35) Why ex-VPs are happily taking senior IC roles(06:07) Why your current product intuition is becoming obsolete(11:46) Why AI-first companies only want hands-on PMs(14:40) How to choose between Big Tech, AI startups, growth companies, or founding(18:06) How to actually upgrade your product intuition on the job(25:13) What's really happening with PM compensation in 2025(33:46) Why true AI startups are rarely remote-first(42:42) What 9–9–6 culture at AI companies actually looks like(50:52) The myth of work–life balance in growth environments(55:40) The builder vs factory mindset(60:29) Are you obsessed with the product or the factory that ships it?(67:11) The key takeaway for PMs making career moves in 2025Don't forget to subscribe to The Skip to hear me coach you through timely career lessons.

Dr. Tom Furness—esteemed as the “Grandfather of VR”—brings seven decades of breakthrough invention, untold stories, and rare wisdom to the AI XR Podcast. In this episode, Tom traces the thread from making rocket fuel as a kid in North Carolina to pioneering the “Super Cockpit” for the Air Force, founding the HIT Lab, and launching 27+ spatial computing startups. His journey reminds us that big shifts in XR and AI are really about one thing: boosting the bandwidth between the brain and information.Listen as Charlie and Ted tease out practical lessons from Tom's career—how head-mounted displays and real-time simulation grew from a Pentagon skunkworks project to tools for pilots, surgeons, first responders, and kids who learn differently. Tom reveals how the “cockpit problem” was never about adding more gadgets, but about human-centered design—and why the next revolution in XR depends on soft skills, not just hardware. He shares how XR can teach memory, empathy, and “open the aperture” of the mind.Guest HighlightsInvented the Super Cockpit: the first immersive, wearable pilot interface, inspiring modern VR/AR.Founded the University of Washington HIT Lab; mentored a generation of XR founders and researchers.Championed headsets, tracking, spatial sound, and haptics in military, medical, education, humanitarian, and entertainment fields.Built VR tools for everything from the F-35 to “light schools” that boost learning and emotional intelligence.Advocates for XR's potential to unlock new forms of human growth and creativity—beyond the screen.News HighlightsStability AI and Anthropic win landmark copyright cases—courts rule AI model training as legal “fair use,” with distinctions for retaining source material.AI data centers drive up public power bills—the debate over who pays for tech's massive energy appetite heats up.Magic Leap alumni debut no-code AR platform—pushing toward mainstream AR creation, but will intent and timing finally align?Google adds Gemini to Maps—AI-powered natural language search changes real-world navigation and travel.Subscribe for weekly insider perspectives from veterans who aren't afraid to challenge Big Tech.

California has taken a new approach to protecting minors online. Governor Gavin Newsom just signed the Digital Age Assurance Act, shifting responsibility for age assurance to app developers while leaving verification to self-reported age data at the operating system level. The law—backed by Big Tech and set to take effect in 2027—moves away from the stricter parental consent models in Utah and Texas and creates a new compliance landscape for developers under CCPA and COPPA. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Alysa Z. Hutnik, Laura Riposo VanDruff, Alexander I. Schneider, and Salim Rashid.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Lady Frederick Windsor, Sophie Winkleman, to discuss the dark side of smartphones, social media, and educational technology.Sophie, who went viral for her powerful speech at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, exposes how screens are rewiring children's brains, destroying attention spans, and fuelling an epidemic of anxiety, self-harm, and gender confusion. From toddlers swiping before they can speak to schools replacing books with tablets, she warns that we are raising a generation addicted to dopamine and detached from reality.We explore how EdTech has infiltrated classrooms, how Big Tech is monetising childhood, and why governments and charities have failed to act. Sophie argues that “Big Tech in a school uniform” is not education; it is a billion-dollar experiment on our children.All this, from the smartphone crisis and the dangers of EdTech to the moral blindness of modern parenting, and why returning to books and real teachers may be the only way to save our children's minds.The interview was recorded on: 23rd September 2025 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:33 Smartphone Effects 06:21 Gender Differences in Smartphone Impact13:36 The Issues and Radicalisation20:58 Early Exposure to Screens26:07 EdTech and Its Impact on Education49:52 Government and EdTech Regulation51:58 Social Media and Political Manipulation1:10:04 Impact of Digital Media on Children1:11:43 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

“Hard to get a customer — but once you have that customer, sell them something else.” — Elie Y. Katz, Founder, President & CEO, National Retail Solutions (NRS) In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green, Publisher of TR Publications, speaks with Elie Y. Katz, CEO of National Retail Solutions (NRS), about how NRS is helping small businesses compete with national chains — and why telecom resellers and MSPs are perfectly positioned to benefit from a new wave of retail technology opportunities. NRS, a division of IDT, began as a mission to modernize small, independent convenience stores through affordable, easy-to-use point-of-sale (POS) systems. A decade later, NRS has more than 38,000 units deployed nationwide, helping merchants streamline sales, manage operations, and now — expand digitally through DoorDash and Grubhub integrations. What started as a POS platform has evolved into a full suite of business services — including NRSPay for transparent, no-contract credit card processing, NRS Purple Payroll for affordable payroll solutions, and cash advance programs that help small businesses stay liquid and grow. Katz is now calling on telecom resellers and channel partners to leverage their trusted customer relationships and add new, high-margin offerings. “Every one of your customers needs credit card processing, payroll, or better cash flow. We make it simple, transparent, and profitable — for you and them,” he explained. With NRS, partners can expand beyond telecom into broader small-business enablement — reaching industries from convenience stores and retailers to medical, dental, legal, and service-based businesses. “The hardest part of sales is building trust. Our resellers already have that trust — now it's time to build on it,” Katz added. To learn more about partnership opportunities, visit SellNRS.com or explore NRS solutions at NRSPlus.com.

Our digital lives are increasingly dominated by a handful of powerful tech platforms. Once promising prosperity and democracy, the internet has instead allowed companies like Google, Amazon and Meta to extract money, data and attention from users on an unparalleled scale. Tim Wu, a former technology advisor to President Biden, argues that the government is failing us while tech monopolies deepen wealth divides and enable authoritarianism. We talk to him about how we can take back power from Big Tech. Wu's new book is “The Age of Extraction: How Tech Platforms Conquered the Economy and Threaten Our Future Prosperity.” Guests: Tim Wu, professor of law, Columbia Law School Learn more about your ad choices.
