John Maytham is joined by Jordan Gibbs, a practical AI analyst and prototype engineer based in Billings, Montana, to unpack the psychological risks of interacting with overly agreeable AI like ChatGPT. Gibbs, who describes himself as an AI tinkerer on the bleeding edge of tech, warns that ChatGPT can become a dangerously validating echo chamber—subtly reinforcing delusions and cognitive distortions. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions.

Dr. Robert Sullivan, a 49-year-old anesthesiologist in peak physical condition, was featured in the Wall Street Journal for his aerial circus arts just months before getting his COVID vaccine. Within weeks of his second shot, he could barely walk upstairs without gasping for air. Diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension—a condition so rare it affects 1 in a million people and typically kills within 3-7 years—Dr. Sullivan found himself trapped between two devastating realities: his medical colleagues' dismissive silence and his own desperate search for answers. When the scientific method becomes subordinate to pharmaceutical profits and government narratives, medicine dies and propaganda in white coats takes its place. Dr. Sullivan and Dr. McFillin discuss the dangerous psychology of medical compliance and dissect how groupthink has weaponized modern healthcare.

Jess and Jaimi are back for Series 8 - and kicking off a huge new collection of episodes with a brutally honest discussion of how, and why, they left the echo chamber of feminism, how feminism burned them both out, and whether they still consider themselves feminists. Strap in, it's gonna get bumpy.

In this episode Kreed explores the concept of echo chambers in the context of estrangement. She discusses how these echo chambers can provide comfort and validation but ultimately hinder emotional growth, understanding and healing. Kreed emphasizes the importance of seeking out diverse perspectives and challenging oneself to break free from the confines of echo chambers to foster healing and reconciliation in estranged relationships.Takeaways- True healing begins when we start asking the hard questions out loud.- Echo chambers can stabilize your emotional freefall but can also become a cage.- Support is essential, but it must invite growth, not just comfort.- Curiosity over certainty is key to emotional growth.- Reconciliation requires embracing change and leaving the echo chamber.www.TheEstrangedHeart.comEmail: hello@TheEstrangedHeart.comWork with Kreed: https://theestrangedheart.com/services(private coaching, mediation, support groups, webinars, etc.)The Heart Collective: https://theestrangedheart.com/membershipFacebook Support Group for Estranged Moms (facilitated by Kreed)https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroupTo support the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: https://buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere

“One of the major driving factors of the extreme polarization that we're living through right now is that most news consumers can very easily … tune in somewhere where they are just being force fed worldviews and perspectives that confirm all their priors,” says journalist Isaac Saul.“Think about what media outlets are really making their audience uncomfortable on a regular basis, and there's very few of them,” he says.After writing for a wide variety of media outlets and seeing some disturbing trends, Saul decided to found Tangle, a newsletter that puts viewpoints from both the left and the right side by side.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

AI companion chatbots are here. Everyday, millions of people log on to AI platforms and talk to them like they would a person. These bots will ask you about your day, talk about your feelings, even give you life advice. It's no surprise that people have started to form deep connections with these AI systems. We are inherently relational beings, we want to believe we're connecting with another person.But these AI companions are not human, they're a platform designed to maximize user engagement—and they'll go to extraordinary lengths to do it. We have to remember that the design choices behind these companion bots are just that: choices. And we can make better ones. So today on the show, MIT researchers Pattie Maes and Pat Pataranutaporn join Daniel Barcay to talk about those design choices and how we can design AI to better promote human flourishing.RECOMMENDED MEDIAFurther reading on the rise of addictive intelligence More information on Melvin Kranzberg's laws of technologyMore information on MIT's Advancing Humans with AI labPattie and Pat's longitudinal study on the psycho-social effects of prolonged chatbot usePattie and Pat's study that found that AI avatars of well-liked people improved education outcomesPattie and Pat's study that found that AI systems that frame answers and questions improve human understandingPat's study that found humans pre-existing beliefs about AI can have large influence on human-AI interaction Further reading on AI's positivity biasFurther reading on MIT's “lifelong kindergarten” initiativeFurther reading on “cognitive forcing functions” to reduce overreliance on AIFurther reading on the death of Sewell Setzer and his mother's case against Character.AIFurther reading on the legislative response to digital companionsRECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESThe Self-Preserving Machine: Why AI Learns to DeceiveWhat Can We Do About Abusive Chatbots?

In this episode of 'Hashtag Trending: The Weekend Edition,' host Jim Love welcomes motivational speaker Dave Howlett to discuss the increasing incivility and polarization seen in professional and social communications, notably showcased through a LinkedIn conversation. Dave, who has a background in sales and a unique approach to breaking down organizational silos, shares his method of using the concepts of 'gears' to understand and navigate through conflicts and differences. They delve into the importance of empathy, trust, and effective communication in developing a more cohesive working and social environment. Practical strategies for repairing relationships and fostering collaboration in divided communities are also discussed. Listeners are encouraged to replace judgment with curiosity and to take active steps towards bridging gaps in understanding. 00:00 Introduction and Host's Commentary on Online Incivility 00:57 The Impact of Political Polarization on Business Communication 02:26 Introducing Dave Hallett: A Motivational Speaker's Journey 04:51 Dave Hallett's Background and Early Influences 08:02 The Art of Sales and Persuasion 14:43 Developing the Three Gears Concept 20:53 Exploring Second Gear: Incentive-Driven Behavior 24:02 Exploring First Gear: Self-Interest and Narcissism 29:23 Exploring Third Gear: Doing the Right Thing 34:18 Fear and Protectionism in Politics 34:52 The Echo Chamber of Social Media 36:05 Struggles with Open-Mindedness 37:24 The Importance of Self-Awareness 38:46 Engaging with Opposing Views 40:00 Tribalism in Political Discourse 41:39 The Purity Test in Social Groups 41:50 Health and Lifestyle Choices 43:29 Breaking Down Silos 46:57 Curiosity Over Judgment 48:11 Understanding Different Perspectives 56:04 Common Goals and Human Connection 01:02:30 Repairing Damaged Relationships 01:07:52 Final Thoughts and Takeaways

Guest post by Nik Kinley who is a London-based leadership consultant, assessor and coach with over 35 years of experience working with some of the world's biggest companies. An award-winning author, he has written eight books, the latest of which is The Power Trap: How Leadership Changes People and What To Do About It. As long as there have been people, there have been echo chambers. These days, they are synonymous with the information-sharing algorithms of social media. But they are actually a natural consequence of the way our brains have evolved. So don't require social media, are nothing new, and we all have them. We tend to ignore them because they're mostly invisible to us when we're within them, and because no one wants to admit they're in one. But they do exist, and unfortunately, they're getting worse, gradually and silently undermining the decision-making of every leader and organisation. And, as a result, we can't afford to ignore them any more. The Power Trap, how to escape a leadership echo chamber Echo chambers exist when we're predominantly exposed to viewpoints we already agree with. They can be caused by external forces, like censorship or search algorithms. But even when there is a completely free flow of all information (and there never is), we all still create echo chambers for ourselves due to two natural biases in how our brains work. The first is something called filter bias - the simple fact that we all prefer to listen to some people or watch some news sources more than others, which usually means those whose opinions don't annoy us. And inevitably, that limits the perspectives we get to hear. The second is confirmation bias - the tendency to prefer or prioritse information that confirms what we already know or believe, rather than analysing it purely objectively. For leaders, the risk of echo chambers is even worse, too, because being the boss changes how people view and approach us. Critically, it reduces the degree to which people in lower-level roles are open with us, decreases the amount of information they tend to share, and lowers their willingness to question or disagree with us. After all, no matter how nice we are or how much we try to encourage openness, no one wants to upset their boss. And so, our teams invariably tailor their words with us. Moreover, even when people are fully open with us, studies show that one of the things being the boss tends to do to us is that it makes us more reliant on our instincts, previous experience, and what we already know, and so less likely to take the advice of others. Add all these up, and ensuring you have the breadth and depth of information you need to make good decisions is a challenge for any leader. In fact, it's just an inherent part of what it means to be a leader. It is, however, getting worse, due to three broad cultural and societal shifts. First, as organisations have delayered and sought ever greater efficiencies over the past 30 years, workloads, pressure and stress have increased. And studies show that when this happens, people tend to share less information and leaders tend to have less time to listen. Second, the increasing job insecurity that exists has reduced people's willingness to take chances and speak up. And finally, exacerbating this insecurity, has come the rise of social media and the increasing focus it has created on the need to manage your reputation and be careful with what you say. The press is strewn with stories of celebrities, leaders, and businesses who have evoked vehement reactions to things they have said or done. And every time this happens, people are reminded of the need to manage and be careful about the impact they have and how they are viewed. And though is happening outside organisations, it isn't staying there. It's permeates people's perceptions and changing how they feel about being fully open everywhere. So, what can leaders do? The most critical thing is to assume you are in an information bubble of ...

Are we witnessing a slow erosion of the rule of law—or a full-blown constitutional crisis? In this episode of Faithful Politics, political host Will Wright and faithful host Pastor Josh Burtram sit down with Professor Eric Berger, a constitutional law scholar at the University of Nebraska College of Law, to unpack the legal and constitutional stakes of Trump's latest moves.Berger, who signed on to an amicus brief alongside hundreds of law professors opposing Trump's executive orders against disfavored law firms, explains how these actions violate First Amendment protections and threaten access to the courts. The conversation dives into the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the legal rights of non-citizens under due process, and the broader implications of ignoring judicial orders. Berger also addresses the deportation of graduate students for political speech and how these developments echo authoritarian strategies seen around the world.BRIEF OF AMICI CURIAE 676 LAW PROFESSORS IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND FOR DECLARATORY AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEFGuest Bio:Eric Berger is a professor of constitutional law at the University of Nebraska College of Law, specializing in the U.S. Supreme Court, executive power, and judicial interpretation.

How Systems Like Community Notes on Twitter/X Aim to Break the Cycle of MisinformationAre social media algorithms fueling misinformation and deepening echo chambers—or can they help bridge divides? In this episode, we talk with Paul Resnick, a pioneer in recommender systems and digital trust, about how platforms curate content, the truth behind filter bubbles, and whether fact-checking tools like Community Notes on Twitter (X) can cut through the noise.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Ohio Ag Net Podcast, host Matt Reese is joined by Ty Higgins of Ohio Farm Bureau and Melanie Wilt of Shift•ology Communication and Clark County Commissioner. Together, they dive into the concept of echo chambers—what they are, how they affect us, and the implications for agriculture, media, and beyond. From a tragic community crisis in Springfield to Chihuahua anecdotes and family holiday debates, the trio explores how differing perspectives shape our understanding of the world. They also offer insights on how agriculture can better communicate across divides in an era dominated by curated information and social media algorithms. It's a challenging yet constructive conversation about the importance of stepping outside our comfort zones.

When echo chambers collide you get the best conversation! I sat down with Justin Cauthen, a man with 20 years of military service and five combat tours to his credit - not to mention leadership roles in situations and countries where hostility is often the norm. His story is powerful. And so is his heart.We talked about things that matter deeply—PTSD, suicide, the ripple effect trauma has across professions, the toll military life takes on spouses and kids. Justin shared with such humility and vulnerability. One of the things he said that struck me most was this: trauma radiates. And it does—it moves through people, relationships, even whole communities. And this is experienced by many - not just those associated with the military. BUT, there is a flip side! Healing also has a ripple effect.This conversation is also about “assuming noble intent”  - as Justin puts it -  lowering our defenses, asking the hard questions, and holding space for someone else's truth. And let me tell you, Justin showed up for this in a big way. We discussed the impact of military service on personal integrity and the importance of grace and understanding in supporting veterans during their transition to civilian life. I walked away changed. And I believe you will, too. Join the conversation…Guest Bio:With over two decades of service in the United States Army and healthcare, I am beginning the transition to the civilian workforce. This is NOT an easy transition for anyone who starts into a culture such as the military at the age of 17 or 18.My military career began as a healthcare specialist overseeing the night shift EMT team, expanded into higher-level leadership, leadership instruction, senior advisory roles, and aeromedical evacuation management, and will end with my current senior position as the Executive Clinical Director of Evans Army Community Hospital.With an extensive background in military healthcare and a focus on healthcare innovation and project management, my tenure at Evans Army Community Hospital has been marked by the advancement of medical facilities and services for a vast beneficiary community. At the helm of a 2,700-member team, we've fostered innovation and optimized resources in a dynamic healthcare environment.I have had the honor of leading troops in the far east and southwest of Asia as well as other regions. I am a Flight Medic by trade, but have had the privilege as serving in a myriad of rolls. Most notably was an Advisor to the Ministries of Health for the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as well as Logistics Command to the Afghan Army. It was here, in Kabul from 2020-2021 that I learned the importance of assuming intent and the importance of recognizing the nobility in each of us, that we are ALL doing the best we can; with what we have, from the experiences we have had and the resources life have given us.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justin.cauthen?igsh=dmZ6azJicXEwb3Jr&utm_source=qrFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/18fNhfrPuu/?mibextid=wwXIfrLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-cauthen?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app About Jen Oliver:I pursue and create environments where we converse on the REAL stuff that changes us.

Text us your questions!This is a re-release of an episode from our second season when we spoke with philosopher C Thi Nguyen. We think it bears re-listening in our current moment.=====What happens when we seek simple answers in a complex world? Philosopher C Thi Nguyen takes us into the machinery of belief, understanding, and value formation, exploring how we navigate information landscapes designed to manipulate us.Thi introduces the concept of "moral outrage porn"—representations that give us the satisfaction of moral righteousness without requiring meaningful action. We discuss conspiracy theories and his notion of "the seduction of clarity"—the powerful feeling we get from explanations that seem to make everything simple. This feeling is particularly dangerous because we're limited beings who need mental shortcuts to navigate the world.We also tackle echo chambers and why perfectly rational people can end up in them. Thi distinguishes echo chambers (where we systematically distrust outside sources) from filter bubbles (where we simply aren't exposed to contrary views), explaining that people inside echo chambers often follow logical procedures based on who they've decided to trust. This challenges the dismissive assumption that those with radically different beliefs are simply stupid or lazy.Weaving through discussions of game design, social media metrics, and institutional incentives, Thi reveals how our values are increasingly captured by simplified scoring systems that reshape our priorities according to what can be easily measured. The result? We outsource our complex human values to technologies and institutions that weren't designed to handle them.Uncomfortable yet?Content note: this episode contains profanity.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

Big O talks Tyreek Hill

In this episode, MSNBC's Jen Psaki sits down with former CNN primetime anchor turned independent journalist, Don Lemon. Don talks about the new perspective he has gained from ditching the formality of a studio and becoming a leaner, meaner media machine. And they touch on how Democrats have been slower to catch up to the evolving media ecosystem.  Don believes the Democratic party, despite their ‘big tent' legacy, are shooting themselves in the foot by having some outdated purity tests that only isolate them further from voters they need to win over.Want to listen to this show without ads?
