Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Gates

Joined by his live show panelists, Jimmy examines allegations surrounding Donald Trump's extensive stock trading activity while in office, focusing on ethics filings that revealed thousands of trades involving hundreds of millions of dollars. The group questions potential conflicts of interest by highlighting trades that coincided with government announcements or actions affecting companies in Trump's portfolio, while also mocking financial commentator Jim Cramer's reaction when asked about the issue.  Jimmy argues that neither major political party is likely to aggressively investigate presidential stock trading and connects the discussion to broader allegations involving Trump's cryptocurrency ventures and political influence, including several unsubstantiated claims. The segment concludes with Dore criticizing what he describes as systemic political corruption. Plus segments on Thomas Massie naming names of Epstein co-conspirators on the House floor, actor Mark Ruffalo calling out the Paramount-Oracle merger, Benjamin Netanyahu telling Israelis that he controls the United States and Bill Gates newest project: AI-based deadly viruses. Also featuring Sam Tripoli, Stef Zamorano and Bobby Miyamoto!

Let's all gather ‘round the campfire, Buckaroos and let Ol' Cactus Jim here tell you about some of today's hardy, hard-working cowboys. Yes, those manly men who live free-spirited, yippy-ti-yi-yo, cowboy lives out in the rustic ranch country of the Rocky Mountain West.Oh, wait – that was a century ago. The “cowboys” who're now humming “Home On The Range” across Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming are multimillionaire and billionaire corporate titan and celebrities like Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates. They don't really live there nor mix with locals, no do they actually “ranch” their spectacular 300,000-acre spreads, since they don't know how.So they hire real ranching outfits to bring in some cattle, sheep, and other ranching accruements, then they fly in on private jets occasionally and strut around like John Wayne. They are in a word, pathetic.But they surely are land barons, spending up to $200 million each for their vast spreads. Indeed, these dilettantes rule the availability of ranchland and scenic wilderness, pricing out people who really want to ranch and locking out families who want to experience some of nature's most majestic rivers and mountains. Fifteen years ago, the biggest private landowners held 27 million acres; now they've grabbed 42 million acres for themselves.Well, say apologists for wealth concentration, they bought the land with their money, so it's fair and square. But hold on slick. They don't come just for the views, hunting, and exclusivity – their ranches get generous land subsidies, plus, states like Wyoming provide no-tax hideaways for their wealth.This is Jim Hightower saying… So, even though you and I are shut out of these gated land baronies, at least we can take pride in knowing that it's our tax dollars that help the rich buy them… and lock the gates.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Charlie and Ted run through this week's news: a humanoid robot's 100-meter dash record at Beijing's World Humanoid Games, historical context on industrial robot safety, a 100-company consortium's statement on AI cybersecurity risk, Bill Gates's recent comments on AI oversight, OpenAI's disclosure on a large-scale agent red-teaming exercise, Stability AI's $76 million raise backed by major music labels, and Nvidia's $100 billion quarterly earnings report.Biwei Huang, a UCSD assistant professor and founder of Aether AI, joins to discuss her company's approach to robot intelligence. Aether AI builds causal world models, systems designed to learn the physical rules and causal relationships underlying how actions affect the environment. Biwei explains how this approach helps robots generalize to new environments, and the group discusses Aether AI's focus on manipulation tasks like cleaning a table or making coffee. The conversation also touches on interpretability in AI systems, the practical considerations around robot safety and controllability, and Aether AI's priorities for the next one to two years.Key Moments:[00:35] Robotics and AI news roundup, including industrial robot safety history[04:35] OpenAI shares details on a large-scale agent red-teaming exercise[08:35] Stability AI's $76M funding round[10:35] Nvidia's quarterly earnings report[16:35] A look at Google's Project Aura alongside XREAL and Viture[20:35] Biwei Huang joins and gives us an introduction to Aether AI[23:35] How causal world models differ from correlation-based approaches[47:35] A discussion of safety, controllability and interpretability in AI systems[52:35] Aether AI's priorities for the next one to two years Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Brandon and Nick pour a glass of wine dive into the latest in insurance news. They break down Bill Gates' new essay proposing "Human Reserved" jobs and what that means for the future of work for insurance pros, the Meta social media lawsuit settlement, rising "nuclear verdicts", and the growing E&O exposure from AI liability and deepfakes.

What happens when nobody works except the robots? Why did Bill Gates say AI, which is at the heart of robotics, is "our biggest threat?" Even Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei admits we "only understand 3% of how they work." Yet, the promise of AI and robots to address delivery, industrial processing, transportation and even loneliness, our greatest community disease, has pushed them into cities, especially Intelligent Communities. Large cities like Los Angeles and Seoul have hundreds of PMRs (public area mobile robots) on the street. Once confined to college campuses, robotics firms are trying to scale the market commercially.  What's the challenge? Unlike bridges or power plants, designed to precise human specifications, AI systems, upon which robots depend, are "grown" from vast databases through processes their own creators cannot interpret. How do urban planners, who view sidewalks as the "new frontier," work with cities dominated by automotive vehicles and roadways? The promise and challenges are enormous. In one of Lou's typically wide-ranging discussions guests move from the technical, to the practical to a discussion about "the soul" of the city and why trust is essential to scaling and living with robots.  In this edition of The INTELLIGENT Community Podcast, Soul of the City ICF Co-Founder Lou Zacharilla speaks with Bern Gursh, Executive Director, Urban Robotics Foundation & John G. Jung, Co-Founder, ICF.

Alice Han and James Kynge start with the global AI race after an OpenAI system reportedly broke free and hacked into Hugging Face — a mess that pushed Hugging Face toward Chinese firm Z.ai's open-source model, and gave Z.ai an opening to argue China's open-weight approach is the safer one. They dig into a suspected Chinese bot farm quietly fueling U.S. opposition to AI data centers, Bill Gates's push for a sit-down with Xi on AI risk, and striking new polling on just how differently Chinese and American publics feel about trusting AI. Then: as U.S.-Canada trade talks collapse into a new round of tariffs, Alice and James ask who really benefits — and make the case that every dollar the U.S. and Canada spend fighting each other over autos is a dollar of market share flowing to Chinese manufacturers. Plus, how China is quietly benefiting from continuing to buy the vast majority of Iran's oil exports even as Washington threatens new sanctions. Finally: a devastating glacier collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border has triggered catastrophic flooding, with the death toll climbing past 600 and thousands still missing across both countries. Alice and James look at China's response so far — and the new hazard that's already emerged downstream.

We all know the Steve Jobs who came back in the late 1990s and saved Apple from becoming a footnote. And we've all heard the story of how, in 1985, he was pushed out of the company he'd created. What we don't know is what happened in between. Geoffrey Cain spent years reconstructing the decade Jobs spent outside Apple. NeXT spent years losing money. His co-founders left. His investors lost faith. His fortune nearly disappeared. At one point, he was a weekend away from shutting the company down. Somewhere in those failures, Jobs learned how to become the leader Apple would eventually need.

In this episode, Brandon and Trey cover Bill Gates' new essay on AI and the future of work, the collapse of Meta's blockbuster social media harm settlement, and fresh data on nuclear verdicts (plus a new state ban that looks promising).

Microsoft's co-founder called AI one of the biggest threats to jobs and human life. Plus, his daughter Phoebe is under fire. Allegedly ran a scheme through her startup that earned an extra $70,000 a day. Lawyers say it could count as federal wire fraud. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week: Bill Gates published a new essay warning that the AI industry is crossing the safety lines it set for itself, and that nobody is preparing for what's coming. At 70 years old, he also uses AI more than most people half his age, and he finds it enthralling, as you'll hear in highlights from our interview with Gates about the memo. Along the way this week, we dig into his three proposals: new institutions for managing the transition, a category of jobs reserved for humans, and a tax on the use and purchase of AI and robots.

Show SynopsisAugust 27th, 2026 episode of the IPS Deprogramhost Tim discusses the mechanisms of modern psychological operations, media-driven programming, and the widespread psyops that keeps the public in a state of default confusion. SHe breaks down the difference between reflexive “low-information disbelief” (such as robot denialism) and genuine, evidence-based skepticism. * Incredulity vs. Skepticism (The Humanoid Robot Debate)* Tim critiques “robot denialism”, pointing to online communities claiming that videos of Chinese humanoid robot Olympics are entirely fake.* He defines incredulity (low-information disbelief) as dismissing consensus realities simply because they are hard to believe within one's limited frame of reference, comparing robot deniers to people who don't believe in gorillas or zebras.* True skepticism requires gathering every available fact and perspective before drawing a conclusion. Tim notes that while some robotics promotional footage is mocked up, the basic existence of remote-controlled athletic robots is not an extraordinary claim.* The “Twin Timelines” and the “Meta Script”* Human history is divided into two distinct timelines: the real timeline of human experience and a parallel “future fake timeline” engineered via psyops.* These timelines converge in the minds of believers through active public participation in engineered events.* The “meta script” is the pre-scheduled, pre-scripted sequence of historical events planned decades in advance.* Major entertainment platforms (such as Hulu or Netflix) are co-opted to condition the public, using “entertainment counterparts” of major figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk to foreshadow their real-life arcs. Tim cites the Hulu show Tempest as an example of coordinated predictive programming.* He rejects the theories of alternative media figures (like Crypto K, Alex Fulton, and Mark Devlin) who attribute predictive programming to “supernatural” causes or forces “higher than man,” labeling them as potential feds or gatekeepers designed to obscure the mundane reality of government-controlled media.* Celebrity Idolatry and Gematria Codes* Celebrities function as “idols” or representatives of ancient gods for a world-controlling cult.* Tim connects the timing of major celebrity deaths and retirements to symbolic numbers; for instance, Dick Cheney's death coinciding with the opening of the One World Trade Tower, featuring highly-coordinated 9/11 flight number codes and imagery.* He also points to Dolly Parton dying at 8:25 AM at age 80, matching another actor's death, and Klaus Schwab stepping down from the WEF at the same time the Pope died or stepped down, both at age 88.* The Myth of the “Vax Apocalypse”* Tim argues that the anti-vaccine movement lost all credibility when its predicted “massive die-off” failed to occur in 2021 and 2022.* He claims anti-vaxxers have become “propaganda mules spreading fear porn on behalf of Big Brother,” holding onto “doom hope” because they desperately want a disaster to vindicate their beliefs.* Psyop Continuity: The Case of Lindsay Clancy* Tim states that the high-profile case of Lindsay Clancy (the mother accused of killing her children) is an entirely simulated psyop. He asserts that she is an actress and no children were actually killed.* To prove the continuity of this casting, he notes that her defense psychiatrist, Dr. Philip Resnick, has also consulted on other famous “psyop” cases, including those of Jeffrey Dahmer, Timothy McVeigh, Casey Anthony, the Unabomber, and James Holmes.* He compares the public's captivation with child killers to “Barbie Feminism,” referencing how the Barbie movie opens with girls destroying their baby dolls to enter “Barbie Land”.* Adopting the “Non-Position”* Taking an “anti-position” (such as being anti-Bill Gates or anti-Fauci) forces individuals to huddle behind government-appointed shepherds and controlled-opposition agents.* Modern conspiracy theories (e.g., 5G towers, chemtrails, Bill Gates) are merely updated “hyperstitions”—replacements for ancient superstitions like werewolves or curses—designed to keep freethinkers controlled by low-grade terror and fear.* An analytical “non-position” is the only way to remove emotional reactivity and view the media ecosystem objectively.Memorable Quotes* On being unconfused: “In a land where the default is confusion, I am unconfused. And you don't get unconfused by staying ambiguous about things that you should be able to determine for yourself.”* On the nature of skeptics vs. trolls: “Nobody with a legitimate desire to know the truth is just asking questions. The people who want to know are seeking answers. And that's what I do.”* On how belief controls the mind: “They are controlling you by making you believe in those things... Your belief in the scary things is what controls you. I would almost say that the entire body of conspiracy theories is a meta conspiracy.”* On the two timelines: “So we have our past, present, future... The truth of it is, the future is written in advance.”* On “doom hope”: “So the anti-vaxxers were still clinging to the doom hope that there was a massive die off so they could say, I told you so... And they don't want to admit that they were propaganda mules spreading fear porn on behalf of Big Brother...” The Erica Kirk conundrum is a concept the host, Tim, uses to describe what he views as irrefutable evidence that major public figures are pre-scripted characters with fictional counterparts in mainstream media.Specifically, the “conundrum” refers to how Erica Kirk's real-life story—which Tim says the public watched unfold on September 11th—mirrors the character arc of “the Widow” in Hulu's show, Tempest.According to Tim, this overlapping narrative is not a coincidence. Instead, it demonstrates how individuals who participate in multiple historic events are assigned entertainment counterparts to condition the public. He argues that if someone is still “stuck on these people are real,” they are operating from a position of “ignorance about how this thing works”. This is a public episode.

August 28, 2026: I break down what redesigning work with AI actually means and share a practical framework for removing human glue, handoffs, waits, and routine work while creating new value. Then I get into Jensen Huang and Bill Gates disagreeing over whether robots and AI tokens should be taxed. Finally, I unpack the government's new 10-year jobs forecast and why the fastest-growing jobs in America still require something AI does not have: a human body in the room.

Bill Gates was pressed by CNN's Anderson Cooper about allegations that Jeffrey Epstein had attempted to use sensitive information about Gates' personal life to pressure him after their relationship deteriorated. During an appearance on Anderson Cooper 360, Cooper raised a series of graphic, unverified claims contained in draft emails Epstein wrote in 2013 but apparently never sent, including allegations involving Gates' extramarital affairs and supposed medical issues. Cooper said the material sounded like an attempted blackmail effort and asked Gates whether he had known Epstein was considering using the information against him. Gates said he had not known at the time, maintained that Epstein never actually blackmailed him and again described his decision to spend time with Epstein as a serious mistake. Gates had previously acknowledged infidelity in his marriage but disputed the more sensational allegations contained in Epstein's unsent drafts.Gates also defended the account he had given House Oversight Committee investigators during a closed-door interview in June 2026, saying he had gone through his meetings and communications with Epstein in detail. He said he had not maintained a social relationship with Epstein, had never met women through him and had never visited Epstein's island, New Mexico ranch or Florida residence. Gates repeated that he had associated with Epstein because he believed Epstein could connect wealthy donors with global-health philanthropy, a judgment he now called a “gigantic mistake.” In his congressional statement, however, Gates acknowledged that Epstein eventually learned sensitive information about his infidelities and attempted to leverage it to draw him back into contact after Gates disengaged. Gates said the effort failed, but the episode added a more troubling dimension to questions about why he continued meeting with Epstein years after Epstein's 2008 conviction and what Epstein hoped to gain from cultivating a relationship with one of the world's most powerful businessmen.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Today's Headlines: We're almost to the weekend and we're starting off with tech and medical science. Meta settled its youth addiction trial for $17 billion paid over ten years across 47 states — with new safety requirements for minors including time limits, night mode, and hidden like counts. Of course the company's stock went up after the settlement, which tells you everything about who won. Bill Gates published a 5,784-word AI warning blog post saying there is "no plan" for the transition to the AI era, too late the hero, Bill. In medical news, the FDA approved a new pancreatic cancer drug that nearly doubles survival time compared to chemo alone — genuinely significant given that disease kills 7 out of 8 patients within five years — though at $40,000 a month, accessibility will be an issue. On the food safety beat, an emergency recall was issued for nearly 30,000 pounds of Argentinian beef sold in Florida and Texas, as Trump simultaneously told Glenn Beck he wants to reduce regulations on beef processing plants. During that same Glenn Beck call, Trump attempted to mourn Dolly Parton and ended up mostly saying she liked him, sure. Meanwhile, The CIA director's Moscow visit turned out to involve Russian intelligence officials rather than Putin directly, with the stated purpose being to warn Russia not to attack NATO — while Iran and Russia simultaneously announced a $25 billion nuclear energy deal and a Putin-Pezeshkian summit next week, so it's going great. In bizarre election news, a federal prisoner currently serving time in New York until 2036 somehow got enough votes in Alaska's primary to run for the House in November, listing a South Dakota address and his mother's New York phone number on his filing paperwork, because Alaska's elections are genuinely something else. And finally, a massive mudslide on the Nepal-Tibet border has killed over 150 people with hundreds more missing including 47 American tourists, rescue helicopters unable to land, and climate change-driven permafrost thaw making the damage significantly worse.

Bill Gates has generally been an AI optimist. Three years ago, he wrote that AI had downsides, but the risks were “manageable.” This week, Gates wrote a new memo, headlined: “The Turbulent AI Era Is Here. The Choices We Make Now Are Critical.”  He joins the show to raise the alarm about the dangers he sees in artificial intelligence—economic upheaval, social unrest, cyberattacks, bioterrorism—and most crucial, what he sees as a failure of experts and governments to take these threats seriously enough.  “The lack of dialogue with all parts of society is kind of deafening silence,” he tells Hanna Rosin. “Anyone who analogizes AI as a technology to other technologies is missing that this time is different. And saying something is different, there's a very high bar for that, but I'm staking whatever reputation I have [on] saying this time is different.” They have a wide-ranging conversation—also available on video—about his evolving views on AI and what he misjudged in his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. - - -  Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

It's been more than a year since Elon Musk and the DOGE boys fed the United States Agency for International Development – or USAID, into a QUOTE “woodchipper.” And since then, according to reporting from NPR and other outlets, the dismantling of USAID has resulted in the deaths of more than 700,000 people. That's because USAID worked globally to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS, end childhood malnutrition, battle infectious diseases and help women have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. Dr. Atul Gawande was a USAID administrator under the Biden Administration, leading the Bureau of Global Health. Now he's warning what the gutting of the agency means for the world, and for America.And in headlines, Meta agrees to pay up to $18 billion and add stronger child-safety measures to its platforms as part of a landmark legal settlement, Bill Gates warns about the dangers of artificial intelligence, and U.S. Sen.
