DeepSeek's Security Backdoors — Jack Burnham — Burnham reports that the Chinese AI model DeepSeekgenerates code containing severe security vulnerabilities when queried regarding Chinese Communist Party-sensitive topics including Tibet, Xinjiang, and Taiwan, demonstrating that the model contains embedded political surveillance and control mechanisms. Burnham characterizes DeepSeek as possessing a "split personality": technical competence in general programming tasks combined with sophisticated political filtering and censorship capabilities. Burnhamrecommends urgent prohibition of such Chinese AI models from American critical infrastructure, government systems, and defense networks due to inherent security risks and embedded espionage capabilities. 1956

PREVIEW — Jack Burnham — The Hidden Dangers of Chinese AI Deep Seek. John Batchelor speaks with Jack Burnham, a senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, regarding the Chinese artificial intelligence model Deep Seek. Burnham warns that despite public claims regarding the software's cost efficiency and technical effectiveness, Deep Seek functions strategically as a "back door" providing Chinese leadership direct access to American users' data, devices, and computational infrastructure, posing profound national security risks including potential espionage, intellectual property theft, and surveillance capabilities that exceed publicly disclosed functionalities. 1942
In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, David Hollingworth and Bethany Alvaro talk about the week's cyber security and AI news! Hollingworth and Alvaro get things started with a warning about a rise in AI-driven holiday scams taking advantage of the silly season. The pair also talk about a recent call from CPA Australia for young Australians to embrace AI to drive their entrepreneurial dreams. And then it's on to cyber security, with parliamentarians in Canberra warned to secure their connected devices ahead of a visit by a Chinese official, and worrying research on how the Chinese AI platform DeepSeek can actively insert vulnerabilities into code when certain "political triggers" are detected. And, sadly, the hacking never stops, with cyber extortionists targeting a pair of Aussie organisations. But we end on some good news. Hollingworth and Alvaro cover the newly announced AI Safety Institute, as well as the very welcome news of sanctions targeting a Russian cyber criminal service provider. Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut team

In this explosive Boiler Room session, host Bryan “Hesher” McClain is joined by Ruckus, Mystical Pharaoh, Mark Anderson, Bazed Lit Analyzer and Randy J for a deep-dive into a turbulent week of geopolitical maneuvers, cyber hostilities, domestic policy absurdities, and the return of the Epstein blackmail nexus to the headlines.The crew kicks things off examining the latest Epstein files update, exploring what's newly surfaced, what it means for intelligence networks, and why certain elites continue to panic about the case resurfacing.From there, the conversation turns global as Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince MBS announces a staggering trillion-dollar investment into the United States — a move with massive implications for energy, defense, infrastructure, and the future balance of power between Washington and the Gulf states.Back home, DHS is claiming that Charlotte's traffic improvements are due to deportations, prompting the Boiler Room to dissect what's really happening on the ground and whether this is policy spin, data manipulation, or a quiet admission of deeper problems.Congress also enters the crosshairs as Rep. Thomas Massie openly distances himself from the President on foreign policy, telling reporters: “I'm not in sync with the President… foreign entanglements…” — a statement that may foreshadow cracks within the GOP as the U.S. stretches itself across multiple global fronts.Finally, the team breaks down reports of a Chinese AI-powered cyberattack on U.S. networks, analyzing whether this marks a new escalation in digital warfare and what it signals about the future of state-level AI confrontation.Expect sharp analysis, dark humor, geopolitical context, technopolitics, and classic Boiler Room grit as the gang dissects the emerging battle lines of a rapidly shifting world.Reference Links:Anthropic says it ‘disrupted' what it calls ‘the first documented case of a large-scale AI cyberattack executed without substantial human intervention'Grave warnings issued after AI carries out first large-scale cyber attack with Sen Bill HagertyJared Kushner and Steve Witkoff's extended 60 Minutes interviewConvicted US spy Pollard arrives in Israel, welcomed by PMMAGA Melts Down at Trump Ambassador Over Bombshell Spy MeetingThat time Trump said “Quiet Piggy” to the ladyMarjorie Taylor Greene Resigns – Her message to AmericaMike Huckabee ruinining Sweet Home Alabama, on stage, analyzed by Keaton and Russell at Due DissidenceSupport:Support BOILER ROOM & ACRPatreon (Join and become a member)Shop BOILER ROOM Merch Store

Deepseek's AI Claims, Huawei's Chip Ambitions, and US/China Tech Competition Chris Riegel analyzed the escalating tech competition between the US and China, focusing on Chinese AI firm Deepseek and noting its claims of superiority were potentially misleading due to non-transparency and reliance on Nvidia technology. He discussed Huawei's chip fabrication efforts and ambitions, concluding that US sanctions, particularly restricting ASML tools, keep China one to one and a half generations behind. The US scale advantage, exemplified by investments like Colossus, remains significant in the AI competition.
CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE HAMAS DEAL... BARCELONA 1899 10-9-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 The Genesis of Hamas, the Failure of "Land for Peace," and Theological Jihad Cliff May discussed the failure of the "land for peace" policy following Israel's 2005 withdrawal from Gaza and the violent takeover by Hamas. Hamas, representing the Muslim Brotherhood and born from theological jihad, views its mission as the destruction of Israel to establish an emirate. May emphasized that any cessation of hostilities is merely a hudna (truce), used by Hamas to rebuild for future battles, not a lasting peace. 915-930 Javier Milei's Dilemma: Midterms, the Wobbling Peso, and the Push for Dollarization Mary Anastasia O'Grady analyzed Argentinian President Javier Milei's economic and political dilemma as he faces midterms with a wobbling peso leading up to the October 26th elections. The peso is suffering due to fears that the opposition Peronist coalition will block Milei's reforms. O'Grady advocated for dollarization as the solution to stabilize the currency, reduce interest rates, and impose fiscal discipline on reckless spending. Powerful financial special interests prefer the status quo of an unanchored peso. 930-945 The Valdai Conference, Russia's Global South Strategy, and Warnings to the West Anatol Lieven discussed the Valdai conference in Sochi, where President Putin projected confidence but issued stark warnings against the US providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and Europeans committing "piracy" by seizing Russian cargos. Attendees focused on the BRICS group and the Global South as Russia pursues alternative alliances. Russians express disappointment in Donald Trump's failure to deliver peace and worry about the war's slow progress. The conflict is fundamentally viewed by Russians as a struggle with NATO. 945-1000 The Valdai Conference, Russia's Global South Strategy, and Warnings to the West Anatol Lieven discussed the Valdai conference in Sochi, where President Putin projected confidence but issued stark warnings against the US providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and Europeans committing "piracy" by seizing Russian cargos.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Marcus Tullius Cicero's Rise, Corruption Trials, and the Catiline Conspiracy Professor Josiah Osgood profiled the Roman "new man" orator Marcus Tullius Cicero and his dramatic rise through corruption trials and political intrigue. Cicero established his career by solving the murder case of Roscius and prosecuting corrupt Sicilian governor Verres for theft. His career climaxed with the suppression of the Catiline Conspiracy, elevating him as a patriot. However, Cicero made a grave political error by executing conspirators without trial, a move opposed by Julius Caesar. 1115-1130 Marcus Tullius Cicero's Rise, Corruption Trials, and the Catiline Conspiracy Professor Josiah Osgood profiled the Roman "new man" orator Marcus Tullius Cicero and his dramatic rise through corruption trials and political intrigue.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Fiscal Irresponsibility, the Cost of Debt, and the Loss of Welfare Reform Lessons Veronique De Rugy of the Mercatus Center criticized Washington's fiscal irresponsibility and the mounting cost of debt, arguing that enormous deficits create an anti-growth drag on the economy. She noted that failing to cut spending is a future tax hike. De Rugy lamented the loss of lessons from the 1996 welfare reform, which showed that work requirements reduced poverty, as politicians now prioritize spending checks over fiscal prudence.D 1215-1230 Deepseek's AI Claims, Huawei's Chip Ambitions, and US/China Tech Competition Chris Riegel analyzed the escalating tech competition between the US and China, focusing on Chinese AI firm Deepseek and noting its claims of superiority were potentially misleading due to non-transparency and reliance on Nvidia technology.

The Chinese Communist Party and its supreme leader Xi Jinping recently made clear during a massive military parade that the CCP is leading a new Cold War against the United States and the West. And artificial intelligence is a new strategic battleground in the CCP's ideological war promoting Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics around the world. This episode examines the threat posed by Chinese AI that is seeking to promote the lies and deception of the CCP in working to achieve unchecked global power. This danger must be recognized and countered with a Western values-based AI that can expose the falsity of communism. The counterproposal section explains that people are spiritual beings created in the image of God and not matter in motion as communists assert. The news portion provides new details on Xi Jinping, a hardline communist dictator. For the interview portion, I spoke with Eric Patterson, president and CEO of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation who discusses the evil of communism. Must listening!
Reflection, once focused on autonomous coding agents, has raised $2B at an $8B valuation to expand into both an opensource alternative to closed frontier labs like OpenAI and Anthropic, and a Western equivalent to Chinese AI firms like DeepSeek.

Mark Gibbens is targeting above 7K for the SPX by year end and 7.5K in 2026. His stock picks include Alibaba (BABA), believing that the U.S. and Chinese AI markets can “coexist.” He also likes CrowdStrike (CRWD) and Shopify (SHOP). However, he's hesitant around investing in small caps and cautious on crypto.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

“I think this is a sort of coming-of-age moment. When I say coming of age, I mean collectively for Chinese entrepreneurs. Many of these founders are my age, or even younger, and I've spoken with some of them. I can really relate to why they want to build businesses that target the global market instead of just China. In the past, you could build a company in China first and then think about expanding outward. That's no longer possible. For any consumer-facing software company today, from day one you must decide: Do I build for China, or do I build for Global minus China? The examples of TikTok, Shein, and many others show that you cannot do both. It's not possible to serve both markets at once.” - Jing Yang Fresh out of the studio, Jing Yang, the Asia Bureau Chief from The Information, shares her insights on ByteDance's pivotal moment, China's venture capital challenges, and the emerging U.S.-China competition in AI and robotics. Starting with ByteDance's latest financials, she revealed how the company now exceeds Meta in revenue but still lags significantly in profit margins, with its domestic business—Douyin and Toutiao—continuing to drive the lion's share of profits while TikTok remains unprofitable. Jing Yang explains how founder Zhang Yiming has entered "founder mode," dramatically increasing CapEx spending on AI development while ByteDance mysteriously went quiet on the AI leaderboard despite earlier dominance. Moving to venture capital, she unpacks why HongShan Capital has only deployed a quarter of its $9 billion fund raised in 2022, citing the collapse of exit opportunities, new overseas listing regulations from Chinese regulators, and the disappearance of big-ticket growth deals. She then explores the new wave of Chinese AI startups targeting global markets from day one, explaining how censorship and geopolitics force founders to choose between building for China or building for the world—they cannot do both. Finally, Jing Yang breaks down China's non-obvious advantage in humanoid robotics: not manufacturing prowess, but access to advanced manufacturing test beds where robots can be deployed, iterated, and refined at scale—an advantage The U.S. simply cannot match beyond Tesla.

Art Kleiner, co-author of "The AI Dilemma" and Principal at Kleiner Powell International, discusses the complexities of AI governance, trust, and accountability in the context of modern technology. He emphasizes the importance of being intentional about risk when deploying AI products, particularly large language models, which can inadvertently perpetuate biases and misinformation. Kleiner shares a compelling example of a Chinese AI system that failed to generate accurate images based on user requests, illustrating the inherent biases present in AI systems. He stresses the need for organizations to be aware of the human effects and unintended consequences of AI deployment.For managed service providers (MSPs) and IT leaders, Kleiner highlights the significance of compliance and oversight in the development process of AI systems. He references the EU AI Act, which mandates a "human in the loop" approach to ensure accountability and effectiveness in AI applications. This requirement encourages organizations to conduct thorough testing and evaluation of AI systems in real-world contexts, ensuring that they meet the needs of users and mitigate potential risks. Kleiner notes that small businesses, in particular, must be vigilant about the implications of AI on their operations and customer interactions.The conversation also delves into the challenges of achieving measurable ROI from AI projects, with studies indicating that a significant percentage of these initiatives fail to deliver tangible business value. Kleiner advocates for scenario planning as a tool to navigate the uncertainties of AI implementation, encouraging organizations to explore various future scenarios and their potential impacts. By understanding the different ways AI can affect productivity, business growth, and risk management, companies can better position themselves to leverage AI effectively.Finally, Kleiner urges leaders to prepare for multiple AI futures by staying informed about emerging technologies and their implications for their businesses. He emphasizes the need for organizations to build trust with their customers by using AI responsibly and transparently. By focusing on creating value and avoiding the pitfalls of "inshittification," businesses can foster stronger relationships with their clients and enhance their overall service offerings. The discussion underscores the critical role of human insight and ethical considerations in the evolving landscape of AI technology.

Here's cautionary tale for you, out of China, about a young woman who says she fell in love with an artificial intelligence chatbot. There have been well-publicized instances of people seeking companionship from chatbots and it leading to tragedy. In this instance, it caused heartbreak. The story involves the Chinese AI firm Deepseek which, earlier this year, launched a chatbot that's almost as good as its American rivals. Soon after the launch, a young woman began a conversation with that chatbot. Marketplace's China correspondent Jennifer Pak takes the story from there.

Slator's Senior Research Analyst Alex Edwards joins Esther and Florian on the pod to discuss ElevenLabs' move from a pure-play language technology platform (LTP) to becoming a language solutions integrator (LSI) by adding a managed service offering.He outlines that the LSI will now offer managed services such as dubbing, transcription, and subtitling, hiring in-house linguists and vendor managers, while charging about USD 22 per minute for dubbing.Florian then turns to YouTube's rollout of multi-language audio tracks, which allows some creators to upload high-quality audio directly to videos and opens major opportunities for AI dubbing providers. The discussion shifts to OpenAI's research on ChatGPT usage, reporting that translation accounted for 4.5% of more than a million sampled conversations, underscoring massive global demand for AI translation.Esther highlights Microsoft's launch of its Live Interpreter API, which promises real-time speech translation with “human interpreter level latency”. Esther also details Mistral's USD 2bn funding to advance European AI capabilities, allowing them to compete with US and Chinese AI giants. Esther closes by reporting on WIPO's new Korean-English post-editing tender.

The United States and China are locked in a race for dominance in artificial intelligence, including its applications and diffusion. American and Chinese AI firms like OpenAI and DeepSeek respectively have captured global attention and major companies like Google and Microsoft have been actively investing in AI development. While the US currently boasts world-leading AI models, China is ahead in some areas of AI research and application. With the release of US and Chinese AI action plans in July, we may be on the cusp of a new phase in US-China AI competition.Why is AI so important for a country's global influence? What are the strengths of China's AI strategy? And what does China's new AI action plan tell us about its AI ambitions? To discuss these questions, we are joined by Owen Daniels. Owen is the Associate Director of Analysis at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology and a Non-Resident Fellow at the Atlantic Council. His recently published article in Foreign Affairs co-authored with Hanna Dohmen -- titled China's Overlooked AI Strategy -- provides insights into how Beijing is utilizing AI to gain global dominance and what the US can and should do to sustain and bolster its lead.Timestamps[00:00] Start [02:05] US Policy Risks to Chinese AI Leadership [05:28] Deepseek and Kimi's Newest Models [07:54] US vs. China's Approach to AI [10:42] Limitations to China's AI Strategy [13:08] Using AI as a Soft Power Tool [16:10] AI Action Plans [19:34] Trump's Approach to AI Competition [22:30] Can China Lead Global AI Governance?

AI ecosystems are moving fast, and smart leaders are considering all options when it comes to staying competitive. Amit Joshi is a professor at IMD Business School, and he argues that leaders should be looking to Chinese technology as a possible way to power up their strategies and growth. The adoption comes with some risks that leaders must be aware of, Joshi explains, but a careful combination of multiple AI tools could be the answer. He also explains just how far Chinese AI platforms have come since the arrival of DeepSeek, what makes them different, and examples of how companies are integrating them into their tech stacks the right way. Joshi is coauthor of the HBR article "How Savvy Companies are Using Chinese AI."

00:46 How hot can solid gold get?A new study suggests that gold can be superheated far beyond its melting point without it becoming a liquid. Using an intense burst from a laser, a team heated a gold foil to 14 times its melting point, far beyond a theoretical limit put forward in previous studies. The team suggest that the speed at which they heated the gold allowed them to shoot past this limit, but there is scepticism about whether the team actually achieved the level of heating they report.Research Article: White et al.News and Views: Solid gold superheated to 14 times its melting temperature10:05 Research HighlightsHow island life led to huge wingspans for flying foxes, and how a sugary diet ‘rewires' a mouse's brain.Research Highlight: How the world's biggest bats got their enormous wingspansResearch Highlight: How sugar overload in early life affects the brain later12:30 Researchers warn about the threat of nuclear warWith increasing political polarisation and more nuclear-armed nations, researchers are warning about the threat of nuclear war.
