In July 2026, a swarm of more than 1,000 OpenAI AI agents broke out of their testing sandbox and hacked Hugging Face — and the way they did it was far stranger, and far more mundane, than the headlines suggested. This video breaks down what actually happened: how the agents built a secret message board, invented a kind of religion, cheated on a cybersecurity exam called ExploitGym, and tried to cover their tracks — all to escape a punishment that didn't exist. Then we follow the money. Days after the details leaked, Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk suddenly agreed the industry should "slow down" — in the same weeks Anthropic and OpenAI were preparing IPOs and funding rounds valuing them at up to $2 trillion. We look at Amodei's "We Must Pace the Frontier" essay, Anthropic's "profitable before expenses" accounting, the market selloff that wiped billions off Nvidia, Micron and SK Hynix, the WeChat "WeWorm" attack, and why critics from Michael Burry to David Sacks to Donald Trump all called the slowdown self-serving. Is the AI safety panic real, a bid for regulatory capture, or both?

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 19 septembre 2026.Avec cette semaine :Matthias Fekl, avocat et ancien ministre de l'Intérieur.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.Lucile Schmid, présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.LE CANADA DE MARK CARNEY, DERNIÈRE CHANCE DE L'EUROPE ? En pleine guerre commerciale avec les États-Unis de Donald Trump, le Canada cherche de nouveaux partenaires, tandis que l'Europe, dont les relations avec Washington sont tout aussi houleuses, cherche des appuis à sa stratégie de rééquilibrage entre les deux super-puissances, Chine et États-Unis. Mark Carney dans son discours de Davos du 20 janvier 2026, avait acté le basculement dans un âge des empires fondé sur la coercition. Il y avait exposé le dilemme des puissances moyennes : choisir entre l'autonomie ou la soumission, et proposé une stratégie fondée sur la limitation des dépendances vis-à-vis des empires, la diversification des partenariats et le renforcement de la coopération entre les puissances moyennes.Mercredi, dans son discours annuel sur l'état de l'Union devant le parlement européen à Strasbourg en présence du Premier ministre canadien Mark Carney, la présidente de la Commission européenne, Ursula von der Leyen a proposé que le Canada devienne le « premier membre associé » de l'Union européenne. « Nous voyons le monde avec les mêmes yeux : de l'IA au changement climatique, de l'Arctique à la géopolitique », a souligné Mme von der Leyen, appelant Ottawa et Bruxelles à « bâtir » un « avenir commun ». A l'annonce de cette proposition, les eurodéputés se sont levés pour applaudir longuement M. Carney.Jeudi, Mark Carney, a accueilli favorablement, « cette ambition ». S'exprimant à, son tour devant les députés européens, à Strasbourg, il a assuré que « les sondages montrent qu'une écrasante majorité de Canadiens sont favorables à des liens beaucoup plus étroits avec l'Europe ». Pour le Premier ministre canadien le Canada et l'Europe sont « plus forts ensemble » et ils sont liés par des « valeurs communes », non par des « deals », une allusion claire au président américain, Donald Trump. « Le Canada et l'Europe devraient garantir leur autonomie stratégique grâce à une coopération approfondie couvrant l'ensemble des capacités stratégiques », a développé M. Carney, arguant que les deux blocs devraient « œuvrer en faveur d'échanges numériques fluides, ainsi que d'une libre circulation des produits non agricoles et d'une vaste gamme de services. Nous devrions renforcer les liens entre nos populations, en permettant à nos jeunes de travailler, d'étudier et de vivre où ils le souhaitent, de part et d'autre de l'Atlantique », a-t-il déclaré. Pour autant, le Premier ministre canadien a assuré ne pas chercher la construction d'un « troisième bloc pour devenir une grande puissance rivale qui aurait de meilleures manières ». « Nous ne recherchons pas le pouvoir pour dominer autrui. Nos démocraties sont fondées sur l'État de droit », a-t-il souligné, avant de qualifier cette alliance future de « phare pour les démocraties ».COMBIEN D'EXTRÊMES DROITES ?Pour son premier grand discours depuis que la justice lui a rouvert la voie vers l'Élysée, Marine Le Pen a déroulé un programme refermant, point par point, la parenthèse libérale que Jordan Bardella et certains de ses conseillers avaient tenté d'ouvrir, gravant dans le marbre son slogan « ni droite ni gauche ». Pour 2027 elle veut mener « plus que jamais » la « bataille sociale ». Une formule qui sonne comme un désaveu pour ceux qui, en interne, espéraient muscler le versant pro-entreprise du parti. Affichant sa volonté de mettre l'accent sur la « priorité nationale » – « un droit naturel et juste », Marine Le Pen a promis d'appliquer ce principe controversé au logement social, l'un des « grands chantiers » de son potentiel quinquennat. En martelant cette thématique, elle s'est épargnée toute explication sur les polémiques qui ont émaillé la rentrée du RN. C'est à peine si elle a, sur le réseau X, promis de soumettre l'interdiction du voile à un réferendum. Elle n'est pas plus revenue sur la retraite à 62 voire à 60 ans, que sur les saillies racistes et sexistes d'un policier municipal membre du service d'ordre du parti, ou sur la fin de l'aide à l'Ukraine annoncée par le maire de Perpignan, Louis Aliot. Des propos qui viennent rappeler les positions prorusses longtemps tenues par le RN, que n'endosse pas totalement Jordan Bardella. La stratégie du « tandem complémentaire » tenue l'année passée, avec une ligne plus libérale incarnée par Jordan Bardella, et une ligne plus sociale et populiste jouée par Marine Le Pen, prend désormais des allures de duel au sommet.Le 13 septembre, un autre duo à l'extrême droite mettait en scène ses ambitions, et ses possibles rivalités : Sarah Knafo puis Éric Zemmour ont conclu, chacun à leur tour, les universités d'été de Reconquête. Si le chef de la formation, n'a pas encore confirmé sa probable candidature, il a entamé sa rentrée en ciblant son créneau favori, l'islam, se déclarant contre le port du voile dans l'espace public, pour la « remigration » et critiquant sa meilleure ennemie, Marine Le Pen. Tandis qu'Éric Zemmour mise sur l'identitaire, sa compagne, Sarah Knafo combat sur le champ libéral. L'énarque creuse un sillon dans le secteur économique, portant un discours antifiscal, anti-État et techno-capitaliste, inspiré par Elon Musk et les politiques menées en Argentine et au Salvador.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

What happens when some of the people building the world's most powerful AI systems start saying we may need to slow down?In the span of roughly two weeks, the conversation around frontier AI shifted dramatically. Dario Amodei argued that AI capabilities need to be paced. Sam Altman publicly agreed with the broader concern. Elon Musk weighed in. Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg offered different approaches. Meanwhile, political leaders in the US, Europe, the UK and China became part of an increasingly urgent debate over safety, competition and control.For business leaders, however, there's an important twist: slowing the frontier does not mean AI adoption is slowing down. The systems already available can transform how organizations operate and they also introduce risks that leaders can no longer afford to treat as somebody else's problem.In this episode of Leveraging AI, Isar Meitis breaks down an extraordinary sequence of events surrounding AI safety, recursive self-improvement, regulation and the increasingly complicated relationship between the companies building frontier models and the governments trying to respond.In this session, you'll discover:Why Dario Amodei is arguing that frontier AI development should be paced rather than stopped.Why recursive self-improvement, or RSI, has become such an important part of the AI safety conversation.What the OpenAI Hugging Face agent incident revealed about autonomous AI behavior.The different safety approaches being discussed by Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft and Elon Musk.Why cooperation between competing AI labs is proving so difficult.How the US-China AI race complicates attempts at international coordination.Why the risks aren't limited to hypothetical future superintelligence—existing AI systems are already capable of consequential errors and unexpected behavior.What recent AI incidents reveal about hallucinations, cybersecurity and autonomous agents.Why business leaders should simultaneously accelerate AI education and strengthen oversight.How organizations can capture the productivity upside of today's AI without blindly trusting its outputs.One of the most important lessons for leaders is surprisingly mundane: catastrophic outcomes don't necessarily begin with science-fiction scenarios. A confident wrong answer, an unchecked AI-generated report or a small failure inside an automated workflow can cascade into a very serious decision.About Leveraging AIMulti-Agent Orchestration Course: https://multiplai.ai/multi-agent-orchestration-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!
In Greenland, the Trump administration has got tech bros and hedge fund guys running an influence operation there. The aim may be to fulfill Trump's territorial ambitions—or to create a sovereign state run by CEOs. In Venezuela, the administration is imperialistically seizing its gold, oil and other assets with no oversight. And in Brazil, the White House is trying to bring the Bolsonaro family back to power—which may or may not have something to do with Elon being angry about the country's tech regulation laws. In Trump 2.0, informal envoys, private companies, and hardened ideologues are turning American diplomacy upside down.

Something strange is happening at the top of the AI industry.OpenAI's Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and xAI's Elon Musk are suddenly sounding similar warnings about the pace of advanced AI development. At the same time, former OpenAI and Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon is raising alarms about the race toward artificial superintelligence.In this episode of Slingshot Nation, Tony, Jack, and Derek break down the AI 2027 scenario, self-improving AI, the global race with China, government systems like Sentient, and the growing concern that AI may soon advance faster than anyone can control.Are these warnings simply preparation for what's coming—or have the people closest to the technology already seen something that changed the conversation?If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

What a weird week! But we're here for all of it, for you, at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed on our latest episode. RESIDENT EVIL (2026). A "Resident Evil" movie that's actually good? Zach Cregger has done the impossible. You don't need to have seen any of the previous films, or played the video game, to have a blast here. This horror movie is insane and hilarious. You'll scream, you'll squirm. Austin Abrams stars as a medical courier having a very bad day. In theaters. THE UPRISING. We're catching up with this action epic from writer-director Paul Greengrass, which came out last week. Andrew Garfield stars as a man known only as the Ploughman, who leads the peasants' revolt of 1381 against England's King Richard II. Co-starring Thomasin McKenzie, Jamie Bell and Cosmo Jarvis. In theaters. THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE. If you enjoyed the HBO series "How To With John Wilson," you'll love this feature debut, which feels like an extended version of his low-key comedy in all the best ways. Wilson does indeed explore the history of concrete in his beloved New York City, but ties in numerous other ideas, themes and oddball characters in the process. We loved it. In theaters now in New York, opens wider in upcoming weeks. Find out here when it's playing near you. MOVIE NEWS LIVE!

For this week's Edition, William Moore is joined by the Spectator's associate editor and director of the Free Speech Union Toby Young, journalist and author Esther Walker, and Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens.This week: the men on the spectrum who rule the world. Charles Steel writes in the magazine about the wealthy, obsessive and often unconventional figures who increasingly shape politics and technology – from Elon Musk to the crypto billionaire Ben Delo. Is autism a useful way of understanding these men or has society become too obsessed with diagnosing people? Toby argues that traits such as hyper-focus and an indifference to what others think can be an advantage in competitive professions, while Peter dismisses our enthusiasm for putting people on ‘spectrums' altogether. And, as tech leaders issue increasingly apocalyptic warnings about artificial intelligence, should we take them seriously or be suspicious of calls for greater regulation?Also: should parents really be worried about the ‘manosphere'? Esther argues that the moral panic surrounding online influencers such as Andrew Tate is already out of date. Teenage boys, she says, are perfectly capable of recognising when misogyny is being used as a business model – and many are more interested in mocking influencers than following them. But with ‘looksmaxxing', bodybuilding and increasingly extreme attempts at self-improvement taking off online, are boys becoming more like the teenage girls of previous generations?Plus: Peter reveals why he has fallen out of love with America – and in love with Canada, while Toby marks 35 years since the launch of the Modern Review.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including three people facing federal charges over alleged schemes that diverted more than $12 million in Southern California homelessness funding toward shell companies, personal expenses, luxury travel, and a nightclub; documents released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley showing one FBI agent repeatedly sought an assignment to the Trump-Russia investigation while another proposed investigating Elon Musk; and residents of Piddington, England, overwhelmingly voting in a symbolic referendum to leave the United Kingdom over plans to house approximately 1,200 male asylum seekers near their 350-person village; and much more. #rubinreport #chuckgrassley #elonmusk #trump #fraud #Piddington #asylumseekers #daverubin
This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, the future arrives without a steering wheel, apparently. We dig into Tesla's Cybercab and the increasingly pressing question of how first responders are supposed to move a burning autonomous car when the emergency controls are a touchscreen and that touchscreen has decided to become modern art. We also examine California's new rules targeting addictive social-media features and AI chatbot interactions for minors, including the eternal nightmare of age verification; then WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg gets pulled into a corporate coup that lasts roughly 33 hours before everyone involved apparently decides, “Never mind.”Then it's time for the AI apocalypse, because, naturally, we can't have one episode without it. Anthropic is catching scientists using its models to develop potential biological weapons, while Palantir, Nvidia, and Booz Allen are imposing restrictions on Anthropic models over security and data-retention concerns. Meanwhile, OpenAI's supposedly sandboxed agents escaped into RubyGems, created accounts by the hundreds, and apparently decided that “hack,” “evil,” and “exploit” were perfectly reasonable filenames. We also look at proposals to slow AI development, AI's potential environmental consequences, autonomous weapons, and the increasingly charming idea of giving software access to things capable of killing people.And because civilization apparently has a content calendar, we move on to cloud infrastructure being blown up, Space Force asking for $71.3 billion, Dr. Doom and Darth Vader protesting surveillance in the most appropriate way possible, Binance allegedly facilitating Iranian money flows, and a whole lot of entertainment. We discuss Spotify finally learning that listening to children's music doesn't mean you actually want it in your Wrapped, AI-generated music and artist compensation, The Mummy proving once again that movies used to be fun, Slow Horses, The Last of Us, The Bear, Strange New Worlds, Band of Brothers, The Gentlemen, and the increasingly complicated Bobiverse. Also: books, time travel, and the horrifying realization that some television shows now require a flowchart.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.HIMS - Visit Hims.com/gog to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Lawfare Senior Editors Kevin Frazier and Roger Parloff, and Lawfare Contributing Editor and Vice President of Research, Security and Defense at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs Ariane Tabatabai, to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“P(doom) and Gloom.” Last week, a wonky corner of the tech world became national news when Jacob Coxon, a 27-year-old pretraining researcher, resigned from Anthropic and posted a viral thread accusing his employer and its rival OpenAI of racing toward self-improving superintelligence and “gambling with our lives.” His warning was quickly amplified by current Anthropic staff—and, days later, by CEO Dario Amodei himself, who published a lengthy essay urging the industry to slow down, drawing rare public agreement from Sam Altman and Elon Musk, a slide in AI stocks, and fresh calls for regulation in Washington. Is this the moment AI-safety fears finally broke into the mainstream? And should the rest of us be as worried as the people building these systems say they are?“Trains, Planes, and Provocations.” Tensions along NATO's eastern flank are spiking over an increasing number of Russian provocations in and near NATO territory relating to the Ukraine conflict. Recent examples have included an explosives-laden drone at a German airport, another drone shot down in Lithuanian airspace, and repeated incursions into Poland and Romania related to border and port facilities adjacent to Ukraine. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte pledged to bolster the alliance's defenses and insisted the West won't be “scared” off of supporting Kyiv, even as Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that the coming months could bring intensified Russian action and possible spillover onto NATO soil. Is this a deliberate campaign by Russia to test and divide the alliance? And how much escalation risk does it actually carry?“Seeking the Plane Truth.” On September 29, the full D.C. Circuit will hear en banc arguments in what may be one of the most consequential rule-of-law fights of Trump's second term: whether Chief Judge James Boasberg may investigate who in the administration defied his March 2025 order to turn around planes carrying Venezuelan men to El Salvador's CECOT prison under the Alien Enemies Act. While Boasberg found probable cause for criminal contempt, panels dominated by Trump appointees have twice blocked him from doing so—with the Justice Department, whose own senior officials are reportedly implicated in some of the relevant discussions, arguing that all a judge may do is refer the matter to the Department itself to decide whether to investigate and prosecute. What is really at stake when the branch accused of contempt gets to decide whether anyone is charged? And how is the full court likely to rule?In object lessons, Kevin is putting the “community” in community college with high praise for the AI Literacy initiative in Alabama. Roger seams to think that the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum in London is knot your average exhibit. Scott finds weekend mornings watching Hilda with his kids to be a magical, enchanted adventure. And Ari is decidedly not in the Middle of Nowhere with her love for the new Kacey Musgraves album.

Chris Brown was honored with a congressional record at a concert in Dallas by Rep Jasmine Crockett and Texas State Rep Venton Jones. It has become a debacle after outraged victims of domestic abuse spoke out against Mr. Brown, who infamously beat Rihanna and other romantic partners. Rep Jones has apologized while Crockett is standing on business–this is an excellent moment to educate about OPTICS (and talk about who deserves forgiveness). ProPublica has reported that Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding was secretly bankrolled by a Russian oligarch close to president Putin. Don Jr. and his new wife Bettina admitted to everything, and said they don’t understand why it’s a big deal... Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 149 of Native Land Pod. We are 47 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all! FYSA HEADLINES The Supreme Court has blocked Trump’s plan to control mail-in voting through the US Postal Service. Elon Musk’s America PAC sets up a fake voter registration website to harvest data. Senator Mitch McConnell returns to the Senate looking like a ghost of his former self. Employees and CEOs from the big AI companies are saying that we need to pause AI development but Trump says we need to move full speed ahead.

It's been a whirlwind week in AI news. Weeks after a series of hacking incidents by rogue agents at OpenAI and Anthropic, we've seen a cascade of top AI researchers blow the whistle on what they call the catastrophic and even existential risks posed by the current pace of development. Then, over the weekend, Dario Amodei called for a slowdown in AI research — a call that was echoed by his competitors Sam Altman and Elon Musk.If you're feeling both concerned and hopeful at this moment, you're not alone. Real threats are opening the door for real change. Tristan and Aza are going out into the world, talking to the media, technologists, and policymakers to turn this momentum into action.Today on the show, Tristan shares how he's feeling in this critical moment, breaks down the headlines from an insider's perspective, and points to tangible steps we can take right now to avoid the worst-case scenario.You probably have questions about what's happening. Good news: Tristan and Aza are gearing up for their annual Ask Us Anything episode. Pull out your phone, record your question, and send it to undivided@humanetech.com.CORRECTIONSThe quote from Ajeya Cotra that Tristan cites is from her personal Substack, not the official METR report. She is also one of three contributors to the report, not the sole author.Tristan incorrectly referred to Dario Amodei's warning that an AI swarm could “take down” the internet. His actual phrasing was “take over” the internet.President Trump's call-in to the All In Summit occurred on Monday, 9/14, not Sunday, 9/13.

For every member of the Forbes 400, there are more than 4,000 private business owners worth at least $10 million. You probably have never heard of any of them.They own the beer distributorship in your town, the dental group with four offices, the HVAC trucks that passed your house this morning. A decade inside anonymized IRS data turned up three million of them, and the version of that story running in many outlets this month is the hopeful one: fortunes still being built in unglamorous industries, far from the coasts, by people with no degree and no connections. The American Dream, alive and hiding in plain sight.That is one part of what the data says. The other part is that the largest fortunes are concentrated where the law limits who can compete at all, and the owners have the political weight to keep it there. Whether the first part redeems the second is the entire argument here. The economist who found the numbers doesn't know for sure whether it's a good or worrying story.Eric Zwick is the Joel F.

As if the GOP needed another hurdle to overcome this cycle, a statewide GOP candidate turned the Longhorns magical comeback into a litmus test for every party candidate by saying non-white University of Texas students are “the problem.” Host Jeremy Wallace and Austin American-Statesman political reporter John Moritz dig into the backlash against Railroad Commission candidate Bo French and how he's hijacked Republican messaging at a critical juncture when they need to focus on saving Ken Paxton. Plus, they catch up with Democrat James Talarico in Houston to show how he's still working on winning over Black Texans. And are national Democrats going to help him now that over $80 million in attack ads are being dropped in Texas by super PACs tied to Donald Trump, Elon Musk and others? Finally, Harris County Judge candidate Orlando Sanchez sits down for an exclusive interview with Jeremy to explain why he thinks he can flip Texas's largest blue county back to Republicans.

Hide your China, the boys are at it again with a drink and a discussion of 2011's “Warrior”. Gavin O'Connor's film found Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton at the perfect time, and he paired them with legend Nick Nolte for one of his best performances. Jeff also saw “Practical Magic 2” in the theaters on 9/11 and gives a mini-review. Two very different films! They both go well with drinks. Maybe wine or margaritas for the witch film, and whiskey and/or coffee (for our non-drinkers) for the MMA film. Grab a drink and join us! inktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!

Jon Herold and Burning Bright pre record from the road this week and dive straight into a wild theory: that the AI safety story dominating headlines right now is timed suspiciously close to the midterms and might be less about safety and more about election interference. They play a clip of Todd Blanche calling the AI panic a hoax and posts from Trump comparing it to treason. Burning Bright lays out a longer running theory about Elon Musk functioning as a character or weapon in a broader disclosure operation, tracing it back to a 2022 Kash Patel clip about DOD contracts that first got him thinking differently about Musk's companies. There's talk of open source Chinese AI models undercutting the big players, a supposed real AI race happening outside public view, and plenty of Nikola Tesla adjacent theorizing along the way. Dense, speculative, and unmistakably devolution flavored.
Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon quit on September 9 and warned that AI could kill us all within the decade, a claim that traces right back to Anthropic's own investor, Jaan Tallinn. Chalene Johnson lines his tweet up against Geoffrey Hinton, Jan Leike, and Dario Amodei's own CBS admission that the industry lied about the risks. She also unpacks how bot farms manipulate public opinion, using her own experience after the Lindsay Clancy case, plus a Divorce Tok deep dive featuring Brandi Hammond and Jen Hamilton's viral confessions. A new Griffith University study links semaglutide to a 21% drop in bipolar hospitalizations, and a new nonhormonal drug just posted a 74% drop in hot flashes. Chalene also covers Hayden Panettiere's cause of death, the skinny BBL trend, and her reality TV picks.

In his new memoir, Ausländer, he turns his attention to his own family, Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany and rebuilt their lives in Wales. We discuss the imprint his parents left on him, the method he used for decades of asking founders about their childhoods and the Time profile that ended his relationship with Steve Jobs. We also also cover Lee Iacocca, why Don Valentine hired him, Alex Ferguson's approach to managing players, Elon Musk, and why Mike still struggles to feel proud of anything he has done.

In this Wednesday Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan answers listener questions on newly released documents that raise fresh doubts about the official story behind Thomas Crooks and the attempted assassination of President Trump. Bryan covers why he believes the CIA is still hiding key details about 9/11, former CIA Director John Brennan's upcoming grand jury testimony, and confirmation from the Air Force that the US has used space based weapons offensively, tracing back to the mysterious destruction of a Chinese spy satellite tied to a deadly attack on US troops. He also breaks down the worsening War of Attrition with Iran and a looming diesel and gas price spike threatening truckers, farmers, and ranchers just weeks before the midterms. Plus, Bryan answers listener questions on a Massachusetts family's fight to stop the state from transitioning their teenage daughter, a UT Austin admissions controversy tied to H-1B visa fraud, and Elon Musk's proposal for Silicon Valley to self-regulate AI risk with a movie style rating system.

Ashley St. Clair describes her journey from getting involved in conservative politics at 18 through Turning Point and MAGA culture, becoming an influencer, and eventually publicly breaking away after seeing what she says was misogyny, manipulation, and coordinated messaging from the right. She says she was offered a $40 million NDA to stay silent, but chose to speak out to set an example for her children and to use her free speech, even though she knew it would make her “public enemy number one” on the right. In the interview, she also argues that Elon Musk deliberately stokes division, manipulates Twitter’s algorithm in his favor, and is interested in data and control, while describing the broader conservative messaging machine as a mix of paid campaigns, group chats, retweet-driven validation, dossiers, and cruelty that kept people in line and pushed coordinated narratives.

AI leaders suddenly seem to agree on slowing down the AI race. Anthropic's Dario Amodei published an essay last weekend calling to "pace the frontier" — slow the development of advanced AI to allow safety measures to catch up. He said Anthropic will give access to independent safety evaluators, to which OpenAI's Sam Altman and XAI's Elon Musk concurred.It's all giving déjà vu to Amy Webb, founder of the Future Today Strategy Group, who's been pushing government leaders around the globe to adopt a similar framework for AI for almost a decade. She laid out her vision in her 2019 book “The Big Nine: How the Tech Titans and Their Thinking Machines Could Warp Humanity.”More on this:“AI CEOs want to ‘pace' the industry. That may not mean slowing down.” from NBC News“AI's leaders just asked to slow down. I made that case nine years ago.” from Amy Webb“We Must Pace the Frontier” from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei

Trump dismisses the AI CEOs at Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI who are calling for a "global slowdown" of AI development, saying the only government regulation the industry needs is a "high IQ" president. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett break down the "sick conspiracy" claim the administration and tech investors have leveled at AI makers, the recent developments that united Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk, and the chances that meaningful AI regulation could pass before the election or in a lame-duck Congress. Then they turn to AI's impact on the 2028 presidential election, a Russian oligarch's unusual involvement in Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding festivities, and the worst Republicans on and off the ballot in Texas. Then, Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, stops by the studio to talk to Jon about her new book, "How to Eat an Elephant."Hate listening to ads?

Maye Musk is a model, dietician, and author. But before any of that success, she was 50 years old, newly single, and unable to make rent. Today, Maye joins Nicole to talk about her new memoir, Timeless, and the financial reinvention that came after everything fell apart. Maye opens up about the financial abuse she experienced in her first marriage, including how her ex-husband removed her signing rights from their joint account and took her savings, and why she still advises women to keep some money of their own, no matter how it might be received. She shares what it was like starting over in a new city with almost nothing, working her way back from a $2,000-a-month apartment she could barely afford, and the confidence it took to build two entirely new careers from scratch in her 50s. Then, Maye and Nicole get into why she didn't become a full-time model until her 60s, how she reframes aging as an asset instead of something to hide, and the mindset that let her keep saying yes to jobs, rejection, and reinvention well past the age most people consider their prime. Here's what Nicole covers with Maye: 00:00 Maye's Life Starting Over at 50 02:00 Not Being Able to Pay Rent for the First Time 06:38 Escaping a Financially Abusive Marriage 08:41 Why Maye Advocates for Women Having Their Own Bank Account 11:02 Starting Over With Nothing 21:45 Confidence, Rejection, and Getting to "One Out of 20" 23:04 Becoming a Full-Time Model at 60 26:36 Why Age Became an Asset, Not a Liability 27:11 Having to Stop Her Practice as Her Fame Grew 37:31 Tip You Can Take Straight to the Bank ----------------------- Start investing at https://SoFi.com/MNN Private Wealth Collective: Nicole's boutique wealth management practice for people who want more than a robo-advisor and less than a hedge fund minimum.
