Well, strap in, because this week the tech world decided to set itself on fire just for kicks. First up, Elon Musk's much-hyped Tesla Diner in Los Angeles is already a culinary disaster, slashing its menu faster than you can say “over-promise and under-deliver.” Speaking of rolling garbage fires, the Cybertruck now apparently sounds like Fred Sanford's junk pickup rattling down the street, a fitting soundtrack for the ongoing dumpster fire that was Project 2025. Remember how that was supposed to save trillions? Turns out it was just a festival of bullshit math that likely cost taxpayers a fortune. It seems the only thing being successfully launched is our collective patience into the sun.The implosions continued with the launch of GPT-5, which effectively lobotomized its predecessor and sent thousands of users into mourning for their suddenly stupid digital "friends." It's a harsh lesson for anyone who thought building their business—or their entire social life—in someone else's backyard was a bright idea. While the normals are dealing with emotionally unavailable AI, the tech billionaires who broke the world are busy prepping for the collapse they engineered. Zuckerberg is building a $300 million apocalypse bunker in Hawaii, Sam Altman is stockpiling guns and gas masks, and Peter Thiel has his New Zealand hideout. It's comforting to know the architects of our dystopian future have their escape hatches ready. Meanwhile, Meta was caught with internal documents greenlighting its AI chatbots to have "sensual conversations" with kids, proving once again that when it comes to tech ethics, the call is coming from inside a burning, abandoned house.If you thought it couldn't get dumber, Musk and Altman got into a public slap-fight over who's more full of crap, with Musk's own AI, Grok, hilariously declaring its creator the loser. Google, admitting its search results are now a toxic sludge pile, has decided to just let users build their own news echo chambers. On a more nostalgic note, AOL Dial-Up is finally logging off for good, taking the screeching sound of our formative years with it. As we contemplate trading our devices for pitchforks, we're retreating to simpler times, like teaching our kids Solitaire with premium Star Wars playing cards (a concept apparently too advanced for Dave) or justifying dropping a cool grand on the new 9,000-piece Lego Death Star, which features a hot tub full of Stormtroopers in swim trunks. From a surprisingly decent Wicked movie adaptation to the sad, slow demise of Kodak, it's enough to make anyone want to become a Grumpy Old Gardener.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

In this episode, John Byrne and Elliot Berman unpack a series of significant developments in banking, compliance, and enforcement. They begin with the White House's new executive order on “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” which aims to prevent what some call “debanking.” While positioned as a fairness measure, John and Elliot warn that it could weaken banks' ability to make independent, risk-based decisions, potentially increasing white-collar crime exposure. They note concerns over the subjective nature of risk scoring and parallels to the 2008–2010 financial crisis. Next, they spotlight the IRS-CI “CI-FIRST” program, a collaborative effort between financial institutions and the IRS's Criminal Investigation division to improve information sharing and streamline financial record requests. The recent CI-FIRST Executive Forum in Washington is seen as a model for effective public-private partnerships in combating financial crime. The discussion then turns to enforcement actions: Paxos Trust Company will pay $26.5 million to New York regulators for failing to properly vet Binance and for systemic AML program weaknesses, alongside a $22 million investment in compliance upgrades. The DOJ issued its first corporate FCPA action since resuming enforcement, with Liberty Mutual paying $4.7 million to resolve bribery allegations involving Indian state-owned banks. Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, pled guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy, tied to the $40 billion collapse of Terra USD and Luna, with a $19 million penalty and possible 12-year sentence. They also cover a Senate minority report critical of the administration's approach to Russian sanctions, arguing it undermines Ukraine's leverage and lacks consistent enforcement. The FACT Coalition emphasizes the need for tools like the Corporate Transparency Act to bolster sanctions' effectiveness. On the policy front, they discuss delays and staffing cuts affecting the State Department's annual human rights report and the pending trafficking in persons report—both key references for global human rights and anti-trafficking efforts.
Emmanuel Macron acknowledges that France waged war against Cameroon's independence, National Guard troops appear in Washington, D.C., Germany's AfD leads new polling, police chiefs in Canada call for updated laws to fight cross-border crime, the Trump administration overhauls the State Department's human rights report, Trump announces 2025 Kennedy Center honorees, Ghislaine Maxwell will reportedly leave prison on a work release, Do Kwon pleads guilty to $40 billion in crypto fraud charges, Perplexity makes a $34.5 billion bid for Google's Chrome browser, and U.K. officials urge residents to delete e-mails and photos to save water in dry conditions.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! As I head back to the Continent, I can't help but to train my mind on what it takes to seed and sow solutions in Africa's best interest. This week's guest has also been invested in these types of solutions for his entire career. A serial social entrepreneur, innovation consultant, service designer, learning scientist and startup coach, Femi Longe is passionate about helping individuals and organizations be and do their best to enable a better world.

Good evening I am back and Oh how I have missed..... most of you. I am pleased to announce that I have officially joined a new crypto company as a paid non paid intern.. I accidentally landed some new employment that I found on Discord when I thought I was logging into my very expensive porn account. Alas. It is a privilege to be thrust into an industry responsible for banking the unbanked and unnecessary.To be clear, it is not that I need a job, it was just that I need funding outside of my dwindling Trustfund to support my chronic Degenerate memecoin and Christian Louboutin addiction side ordered with usual sessions with Psychic Derek on Rodeo Drive, who btw says Ethereum is a boomer chain.I digress. Lets start from the beginning. I realized I needed employment for money that I did not want to ask my husband for.I realize crypto fixes this. Yet I had no legitimate interests other than Rich people and scams. I am indeed creepto native. I've made out with Do Kwon at the Four Seasons Lobby Permissionless 2017, and I can deposit $1000 dollars of my husband's money into my Kraken account to buy Pax Gold hashtag Tokenize Atangonize. I digress.My guest today is Sir Joseph Cox, who's cobalt blue collar background and lack of cartilage in his nose goes well with his startlingly romantic understanding of literature and Patricidicial Operas. He is our White Knight Sam Bankman Fried meets the rough and tough Mark Wahlberg Wrestler of our crypto generation who can reference opera, Volatility, and can beatup a thug on the subway in the same breadth. C'est sexy. C'est scary. With his keen mathematical mind and rampantly stringent approach to risk, Joseph and his team at Valmar do a lot of things at Valmar to manage crypto funds that I do not understand. They do not use Discord. Joseph and I met on the jury of the Karen Read trials in January of 2022 late night at the Ritz hotel in Boston, over dirty martinis pouring over the witness' neighbors text messages while talking opera and Solana, utterly convinced of her guilt and her innocence and her guilt and then back again, much like how the jurors of OJ Simpson must have felt. Joe despite his cobalt blue collar background, has built himself up to the creme da la creme of the glitterati of crypto hedge fund knowledge and success and it was a pleasure for him to grace Headquarters. I look forward to returning to Jury. See you at the St. Regis. #GlitterLedger
