Are AI workers easier to manage than humans? Bradley sits down with Evan Ratliff, creator of the award-winning podcast series, Shell Game, to talk about the real startup he launched with a staff of AI employees. They discuss the economic, psychological, and regulatory stakes of AI, plus the creepy comedy of working with bots. “Every time I went in to say, ‘Stop talking about this,'” Ratliff says, “it triggered them to talk about it more. They can create endless busy work—endless process—for no real value.”This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City's only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today's episode: info@firewall.media.Be sure to watch Bradley's TED Talk on Mobile Voting at https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk.Subscribe to Bradley's weekly newsletter and follow Bradley on Linkedin + Substack + YouTube.

Stu Solomon, CEO of HUMAN, joins Amir to unpack a blind spot most teams underestimate: a huge share of online activity is not people at all, it is automated traffic. They break down how verification really works at internet scale, why agentic workflows change the rules, and what it will take to build trust when bots transact with bots.If you have ever wondered how fraud, fake clicks, account abuse, and synthetic behavior get caught in real time, this episode is a clear, practical look behind the curtain.Key takeaways• Most of the internet is machine traffic now, the goal is no longer spotting bots, it is separating good machines from bad ones• Trust is built by combining behavior, infrastructure signals, and identity or credential history into fast decisions at scale• Agentic systems lower the barrier to entry for attackers, less skilled actors can now create outsized impact• The hard part is accountability, when a machine acts with your authority, who owns the outcome• Adoption follows convenience, but visibility matters, if it feels like a black box, people will not trust itTimestamped highlights00:33 HUMAN in plain English, making split second decisions about who is human, and whether they are safe03:59 The trust stack, behavior signals, infrastructure clues, and identity or credential history10:19 The real shift with AI, lower barriers for attackers, plus the rise of agentic autonomy14:37 The cake story, an agent completes the task, then surprises you with a 750 dollar bill17:22 Bots talking to bots, where accountability and liability get messy fast24:18 Security builds trust, trust unlocks adoption, and society is already closer than it thinksA line you will remember“We have always operated on the notion that if you are human, you are good, and if you are a machine, you are bad. That is simply not the case anymore.”Practical ideas you can use• Add guardrails when you delegate to tools, especially budgets, limits, and approval steps• Watch for trust signals, not just identity checks, behavior plus infrastructure plus history beats any single data point• Design for visibility, show users what the system did and why, so trust can compound over timeFollow:If this episode helped you think more clearly about trust, fraud, and agentic systems, follow the show, subscribe for more conversations like this, and share it with a teammate who is building in ads, ecommerce, identity, security, or AI.

When Taylor Swift Taylor Swift's latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” dropped, a swarm of internet haters voiced their loud and out-of-left field opinions about it. A couple months after the drop, though, reporting from Rolling Stone revealed that the conversation around Taylor's album being a problematic flop was driven largely by bots. This tactic, called astroturfing is the same one Taylor's friend Blake Lively has alleged was used against her by Justin Baldoni. This is particularly pertinent, because “The Life of a Showgirl,” has a track, “Cancelled!” about Lively's own cancellation. Who was really behind this astroturfing campaign, and what does this situation tell us about the internet and our own susceptibility to influence? Joining Tess for an examination of the bot campaign and a close read of the “Cancelled!” lyrics are Joe Romm and Antonia Romm, hosts of the “Decoding Taylor Swift” podcast.

Dateline New Haven: Live Interview with Chat Bot Vega (Google Gemini AI) by WNHH Community Radio

One way to make your money work for you while you’re sleeping is to invest in NFTs — take Merrill’s word for it! Glenn Beck of The Blaze has been using AI-generated podcasts during the overnight shift. Did his fans notice? If you're under a certain height, you won’t be allowed to enjoy Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX Halftime Show! Remember Quibi? It was the short-form streaming platform that lasted about five minutes. And now? We’re gifted with scripted micro dramas. Is your kid too fat? The obesity epidemic is causing us to get fatter younger, although GLP-1 weightloss meds like Ozempic and Wegovy seem to be helping adults. Now, kids may need to hop on the weightloss-shot gravy train. Processed foods and a sedentary lifestyle are to blame. The bald and the beautiful? It’s no longer a sad rite of passage when men lose their hair — it’s now considered a glow-up! Gen Z is now embracing the Mr. Sheen look. It’s called baldmaxxing and it means choosing to embrace hair loss rather than feeling ashamed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A lo largo de la historia las especias no han sido simples condimentos, sino potentes motores de transformación global. Su búsqueda conectó mundos aislados, impulso la Era de los Descubrimientos y el colonialismo. Más allá del sabor, representaron estatus y poder, se usaron como moneda o medicina y en rituales y embalsamamientos. Pero además, muchas de ellas se han empleado como conservantes de alimentos y potentes antimicrobianos.

In this episode of Tools of the Trade, Jeff Dornik joins the show to break down why he built Pickax as a human-centered alternative to algorithm-driven platforms. He argues that “freedom of speech but not freedom of reach” is the modern censorship model, explains why verification and anti-bot design matter for real community, and warns that the AI endgame is replacing human creativity, work, and independent thought.

What if the key to your next level of success wasn't hustling harder, but quitting the one thing you think your business can't survive without?This conversation with Ash McDonald is one for the books. She's a therapist and business mentor who came on the show and dropped so many truth bombs I'm still cleaning up the mess. We start with her "soapbox" moment—why she permanently quit social media—and the immediate, visceral impact it had on her energy and well-being. (Spoiler: After just two days back for a quarterly check-in, she felt like crap. Relatable.)But this isn't just a chat about logging off. Ash takes us on her incredible journey of selling everything she owned to travel the world with her three young kids. We get into how this radical leap redefined her as a mother, an entrepreneur, and a woman. She gets brutally honest about the trauma that surfaced after her most successful year in business—a half-a-million-dollar year on less than 10 hours a week—and how it led to total burnout.This episode is a masterclass in untangling your worth from your work, chasing the feeling instead of the metric, and building a life that is deeply, personally, and unapologetically yours.In This Episode, We Unpack:The Real Cost of Social Media: How the apps are designed to drain your energy, hijack your emotions, and train your brain for distraction.Permission to Quit: The data-backed audit that proved Ash didn't actually need social media for her business.Alignment vs. Time Management: Why managing your energy—not your schedule—is the key to sustainable success.From Burnout to Barefoot: Ash's raw story of selling everything to travel the world and redefine her life.The Surprising Trauma of Success: Why a half-million-dollar year can trigger a perfectionism spiral and burnout.How to Avoid the Crash: The secret to building a life you love by chasing the feeling, not the metric.>>CONNECT WITH ASH

Welcome to CHUCKYVISION, a podcast about the horror franchise Child's Play/Chucky, the surrounding culture and other killer doll films. Mark was being a grumpy knickers about not getting a screener for SOULM8TE which had a release date of 9th January, so we decided to record an episode covering a similar film instead!

Your biggest competition in business acquisitions is not private equity or investment banks. It is human BOTS. In this short podcast, I explain how most business acquisition practictioners' outreach fails because people behave like BOTS: no research, no listening, generic scripts, and zero follow up. More importantly, I walk through exactly how serious acquirers separate themselves from the noise by doing simple research, asking better questions, listening for what actually matters to the owner, and building trust instead of pressure. If you want sellers to remember you and eventually say yes, this episode shows you how. To Your Success, Bruce

Dan Bongino declares total war on black-pillers and grifters (many amplified by paid bot armies) trying to sabotage MAGA from within, especially as midterms loom. Marjorie Taylor Greene's explosive final day in Congress — is the backlash real or bot-farm manufactured division? Geopolitics: U.S. moves on Venezuelan oil (seizures, handovers, resource plays) with Greenland's strategic riches in the crosshairs. And the ultimate red-pill twist — how superior intelligence can drive you to madness in a world overrun by AI bot farms pushing propaganda, defeatism, and fake engagement to break minds and movements. No holds barred — truth over comfort.

This conversation is packed with practical ideas for associations looking to move beyond AI experimentation and into meaningful implementation.Themes and Topics:Crafting an AI StrategyTwo-pronged approach: internal staff tools and member-facing AI agent. Focus on augmentation, not job replacement. Aligning AI initiatives with organizational goals and member success.Driving Staff Adoption71% of staff were already using AI before rollout; 66% used ChatGPT. Use cases include brainstorming, data analysis, and document creation. Idea-sharing through informal showcases to inspire broader adoption.Enhancing Member ValueAI agent trained on proprietary “BAMO” data for personalized support. Enables conversational access to complex resources like regulations. Goal: make finding information easier and more intuitive for members.Building Trust and SecurityStrong vetting of platforms for data privacy and compliance (GDPR, SOC 2). Clear boundaries: proprietary data stays internal and is not used to train external models. Legal review and communication plan to address staff concerns.Tools and Technology ChoicesInternal: ChatGPT Enterprise for staff workflows. Member-facing: Chatbase integrated with ChatGPT-5 for custom training. Features like SSO, connectors, and compliance were key selection criteria.Looking AheadSoft launch internally; member-facing tool in testing phase. Refining tone and personality of AI agent for better engagement. Marketing plans and use cases to drive member adoption.

Have you ever left a meeting with your accountant feeling… kind of dumb? Like you should know more, do more, or just be better with your money? Yeah, me too. It's this weird, quiet shame that so many of us carry, and we rarely talk about it.My guest today, Serena Shoup, a CPA and bookkeeping CEO, gets on her soapbox about this within the first five minutes—and I was HERE for it. She calls out the condescending, shaming B.S. that can happen in the financial industry and gives us all permission to expect better. (And yes, that includes firing people who make you feel like crap about your business. Mic drop.)This conversation is about so much more than just numbers. We get into Serena's incredible story of building her firm as a “side hustle to motherhood,” how she accidentally created a second business teaching other bookkeepers, and the market shifts she's seeing firsthand in her clients' financials. If you started your business around the 2020 online gold rush, you NEED to hear her insights on what's actually working now.This episode is a masterclass in stripping away the fear around your finances and learning to see your numbers not as a report card on your worth, but as a powerful tool to help you build a business—and a life—that you actually love.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The #1 reason you feel shame around your numbers (and why it might not be your fault).Why mixing business and personal funds is killing your clarity.How a $27 PDF pre-sold to 50 people launched a whole new business.What's really working in the post-2020 course market (from a CPA who sees the data).Using your P&L as a tool, not a report card, to build a business you actually love.>>CONNECT WITH SERENAYOUR NEXT STEPS

Judge Scott Schlegel of the Louisiana Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal joins The Geek in Review for a candid, funny, and unflinchingly practical conversation about AI inside the judicial system. Schlegel wears multiple hats, appellate judge, former prosecutor, reform-minded builder, plus a podcaster and Substack writer who speaks plainly about what works and what fails when technology hits real people on real timelines. The throughline stays consistent, courts do not need more hype, courts need competence, guardrails, and a process mindset.Judge Schlegel tackles the messy reality of AI disclosures, certifications, and uneven court rules across jurisdictions. His core message lands fast, judicial authority lives with the judge, not an AI system. From there, he outlines why chambers guidance matters, along with a structured, step-by-step approach for responsible drafting support, including prompt discipline and workflow thinking. The goal stays simple, faster decisions without surrendering judgment to “bot overlords.”The discussion then shifts to constraints judges live with every day, budgets, procurement rules, security anxiety, and the gap between shiny vendor demos and courthouse reality. Schlegel argues for a scrappy, process-first approach using small pilots, one chambers, one workflow, one measurable result. He compares the moment to early “cloud” adoption lessons, pay for the right security, avoid free tools where the user becomes the product, and treat sensitive records with strict care. Courts will see broader adoption as enterprise-grade options become attainable and baked into trusted platforms.Then comes the part that lingers in your head after the episode ends, deepfakes and voice cloning as a near-term threat to due process, especially in domestic violence and protective order contexts. Schlegel explains why judges tend to err on the side of safety, and why “damage done” shows up long before expert testimony arrives. His practical recommendation focuses on pretrial practice, require disclosure, surface manipulation concerns early, and reduce surprises at trial. He even shares a simple family safety habit, a private “secret word” to confirm identity during urgent calls, since voice cloning tools lower the barrier for fraud.Finally, Schlegel offers a sharp warning about confirmation bias, large language models often aim to please the user, which benefits advocates and harms neutral decision-making. His answer: an “AI alignment test” mindset, deliberate prompting, and refusal to outsource the white-page moment to a model. For the future, he points toward structural change courts rarely receive funding for, true legal technologists who redesign case management and public-facing guidance at scale. If courts stop printing emails and living in wire baskets, progress follows, and yes, somewhere in a parallel universe, Schlegel still wants a hologram machine.Judge Schlegel, his court, and his workJudge Schlegel bio page.

In this episode, Rivers is back in his hometown of Auburn, Alabama, cuttin' it up with some of the finest folks East Alabama has to offer in the "Squalor Parlour." Joining him are Auburn legend Miles Bugg, comedian Nick Morgan-Moore, and community organizer extraordinaire Warren Tidwell. We start by chugging the new Liquid Death energy drink. From there, Miles and Rivers share a wild tale involving an old friend's eyebrow-raising proposal tied to a Russian love bot website. We share some of our best-ofs for 2025, and about the most underrated villain of the year: FBI Director Kash Patel. Kash was recently on a podcast with his girlfriend talking about Uber Eats and Netflix, when he was supposed to be out looking for a triple murderer. We talk a bit about a new use for J.D. Vance's memoir and "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors is our JAM OF THE WEEK! Give us a listen, folks!
