And this was - and I hope I don't offend any of my other guests by saying - one of the most fascinating conversations I've ever had on the podcast.Today, we are at a point when there's a realistic chance that in the next decade or so we might get an AGI - artificial general intelligence or even ASI - artificial superintelligence: a next stage of AI that would be able to do everything that humans can and possibly even significantly better. If that happens it will radically transform every aspect of our lives but while the impact on other areas is widely discussed - how it might reshape geopolitics is largely ignored - even though its impact would be absolutely transformational. Greg and his colleagues at Rand recently published an extremely interesting paper where they for the first time try to explore what that might look like - and they present 8 different scenarios of how AGI can transform the global world order. Most of them are pretty bad but all of them are fascinating - leading to a rise of new superpowers, fall of the old ones and a fundamentally different world. And in this conversation, we discuss what that world might look like.

TFIYE Ep #198 Spooky Circus & The RR (Grok 3 Summarization Transcript) The Fork In Your Ear Podcast Episode Summary – July 19, 2025   **Fork in Your Ear Podcast Summary – Episode Recorded August 9, 2025**   In this lively episode, hosts Tim K.A. Trotter and Nate Foo dive into a mix of personal anecdotes, pop culture, gaming, and tech developments, delivering their signature blend of humor and insight.   **Life Updates**: Tim shares his recent battle with a prolonged illness that left him bedridden for days, reflecting on the frustration of wanting to game or watch TV but being too sick to enjoy it. He also recounts a memorable date with his wife at a “spooky circus” by Cirque Italia, a raunchy, R-rated spectacle with sword-swallowing and trapeze acts. Another highlight was their visit to the iconic Double R Cafe in North Bend, Washington, famous from *Twin Peaks* and *Alan Wake*. Nate discusses surviving Southern California's triple-digit heat and a past AC failure, while both hosts lament aging and slower recovery times.   **Technology**: The conversation turns to AI advancements, focusing on Open AI's ChatGPT-5, which promises enhanced coding capabilities but has faced criticism for underperforming and ethical concerns like cloning itself. Tim praises Grok's new image and video generation features, showcasing its ability to create lifelike animations from single images, though it struggles with consistency in content moderation. They speculate on AI's future in entertainment, predicting a shift toward user-generated, high-quality content.   **Gaming**: The hosts discuss the passing of Bethesda's Julian LaFay, the “father of the Elder Scrolls series,” and Sony's move toward multi-platform game releases, with PlayStation titles like *Helldivers 2* coming to Xbox and Switch. They explore the evolving console wars, noting Nintendo's dominance in the portable market and the trend of companies like Capcom making games available across all platforms. Tim shares an encounter with a 65-year-old gamer playing a Switch 2, highlighting Nintendo's broad appeal.   **Entertainment**: Tim gushes about *Fantastic Four: First Steps*, praising its 1960s aesthetic and faithful adaptation of the comics, though he's puzzled by its lack of connection to the MCU's 616 universe. The upcoming *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* sparks excitement with its practical stunt work and return to a street-level story featuring villains like Mr. Negative and the Punisher. The *King of the Hill* revival on Hulu is a standout, with its time-jump approach and aged characters feeling fresh yet nostalgic, though some voice acting changes are jarring. *K-Pop Demon Hunters* on Netflix surprises both hosts with its infectious music and charm, becoming a family favorite. Other highlights include *Twisted Metal*'s absurd fun, *Dexter: Resurrection*'s gripping return, and the news of Gina Carano's settlement with Disney over her *Mandalorian* firing.   The episode wraps with Tim's enthusiasm for *Donkey Kong: Banana Bonanza*'s emotional ending and a nod to upcoming gaming plans, despite technical hiccups during recording. A heartfelt shoutout goes to friend Greg Smith, whose grandmother is in the hospital, urging listeners to send positive vibes.   **Runtime**: Just under 3 hours.   **Sign-off**: “Get forked!”   Join The Fork Family On Discord: https://discord.gg/CXrFKxR8uA Find all our stuff at Remember to give us a review on iTunes or wherever you downloaded this podcast from.

Greg Smith responds to a listener's email expressing shock at perceived anti-Semitism in Catholic online spaces. He clarifies the Catholic Church's official teachings on Judaism and the State of Israel, emphasizing respect, shared roots, and a balanced call for peace amid the ongoing Gaza conflict. Greg distinguishes between binding doctrines on faith and morals versus prudential political judgments, critiques inconsistencies in how some Catholics approach these issues, and draws lessons from St. Augustine's City of God for navigating earthly complexities. He also contrasts Catholic nuance with Protestant evangelical affinities for Israel, reassuring converts that the Church rejects all prejudice.

Can I suggest Jarrod Kerr for Governor of the Reserve Bank? Jarrod is Kiwibank's Chief Economist. He has been completely consistent in his ongoing commentary around interest rate cuts and the Reserve Bank's need to do more. To be fair, our own Greg Smith at Devon Funds Management has told us, and argued, a similar story. The Kiwibank economic report that got a decent amount of coverage over the weekend is Jarrod's - proof positives that he is right and Adrian Orr and Christian Hawkesby have been, and are, wrong. As long as they continue to be myopic and look at nothing but inflation they can argue two things. 1) It's in the band, even though it's dangerously close to not being, and will most likely breach it this year, 2) This ongoing, but increasing false, idea that they have cut enough and the efforts of that will flow through eventually. We are virtually in August and the 25 points cut in the latter part of this year that's supposed to be lift off is nothing of the sort and the Kiwibank report confirms it. It tells us what we know already - the further south you go the better it is. But here is the real news; even in the best, most lucrative, optimistic part of the country i.e Otago and Southland they only get 5/10. A half mark is as good as it gets. The rest of the country is miserable. Are there signs? Yes, but how long do you want to squeeze the economic lemon looking for juice? Dairy, meat and kiwifruit - all the stuff we have talked about, and celebrated, is not only doing the heavy lifting; it's doing almost all the lifting. Tourism is there in Otago. But its still only 86% of what it was six years ago. Confidence is hard to find, foreigners still can't buy a house when they invest millions, and for every dollar you get from lower interest rates you pay $2 more for your power and insurance and rates, which have become the new version of highway robbery. The economy needs help. It needs a major enthusiast, it needs a circuit breaker and the Reserve Bank and their view and actions are potentially it. Jarrod sees it, Greg sees it, John Key sees it and wants a full 100 points drop. But until anyone of them is Governor, we rely on Christian and his committee and that is where the problem lies.

Why do American evangelicals passionately support modern Israel, especially in conflicts like Israel-Iran? In the final part of our Seeking Roots, Finding the Church series, Greg Smith shares why Americans, including evangelicals, admire Israel's pioneer spirit and military prowess, akin to Davy Crockett at the Alamo. Buy notes that dispensationalist theology, tied to their chase for Jewish roots (Episode 1) and reliance on the Masoretic Text (Episode 2), also fuels their political commitment, contrasting with the Catholic view of the Church as the New Israel. Responding to claims like Senator Ted Cruz's, Greg shows why the Church, not a nation, is the true fulfillment of God's covenant. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!

Send us a textWitness history in the making as the World Strength Games returns to St. George on May 23-24 2025, transforming the Dixie Convention Center into an arena where human potential collides with physical impossibility. Since its humble beginnings in 2017 with just 11 athletes, this event has exploded into an international phenomenon, officially documenting 121 world records and counting.What makes the World Strength Games unique isn't just the superhuman feats of strength—it's the strategic format where athletes must choose their weights wisely, getting just two attempts to etch their names in history. Think of it as high-stakes poker where competitors must decide: play it safe or risk everything for glory. This creates an electric atmosphere as athletes from Australia, Sweden, and across America push the boundaries of human capability.The crowd favorite remains the iconic 402-pound basalt stone carry, modeled after Iceland's famous Husafell Stone but deliberately made more challenging. Last year, spectators erupted as competitors who seemed physically incapable hoisted this massive stone and carried it distances no one thought possible. This year, local hero Miles Kinikini will attempt to shatter the Farmer's Walk world record by carrying a mind-boggling 460 pounds in each hand.Beyond strongman, this evolved fitness expo now features USA Wrestling tournaments, Ninja Warrior courses, CrossFit challenges through the Summit Games, and an NFL-style combine for aspiring athletes. Legendary figures in strength sports will be present, including four-time World's Strongest Man Magnus Ver Magnusson and potentially current reigning World's Strongest Man Tom Stoltman.Perhaps most fascinating is how this event showcases human potential across all demographics. From 73-year-old grandmothers carrying refrigerator-sized weights to discussions on regenerative medicine with stem cell pioneer Dr. Greg Smith, the World Strength Games illustrates that strength isn't just about muscle—it's about pushing limits in every aspect of human performance.Guest Russell Anderson, Founder of the World Strength Games.

Interview with Rhylin Bailie, VP of Investor Relations, Equinox GoldRecording date: 3rd of March, 2025Equinox Gold and Calibre Mining have announced a transformative merger expected to close by the end of May 2025, creating one of the top 15 gold producers globally. The combined entity will produce approximately 950,000 ounces of gold in 2025, with potential to exceed one million ounces as additional operations come online.The transaction originated from casual discussions between Equinox's chairman Ross Beaty and Calibre's leadership, who recognized the strategic benefits of combining their complementary assets. The merger will create the second-largest gold producer from Canada, with the Greenstone and Valentine mines together delivering 600,000 ounces annually—a significant advantage as Canadian producers typically trade at premium valuations.Structured as a "merger of equals," the deal brings together complementary teams, with Calibre's President and CEO Darren Hall joining Equinox as President and Chief Operating Officer alongside CEO Greg Smith. This dual leadership approach aims to distribute responsibilities effectively across the expanded organization.The transaction delivers immediate production benefits to both companies' shareholders while providing exceptional cash flow generation in the current high gold price environment. Consensus estimates suggest EBITDA could more than quadruple over the next 12 months, accelerating debt reduction plans. The company aims to pay down at least $200 million in 2025 and reach a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1x by early 2026, enabling dividend payments and share buybacks.Despite its increased scale, the combined company maintains substantial growth opportunities, including the Castle Mountain expansion in California (+200,000 oz/year) and Los Filos expansion in Mexico (+150,000 oz/year). These projects contribute to an expected 60% production growth over the next few years, distinguishing Equinox from larger producers that struggle to meaningfully increase output.Post-merger integration will include evaluating the combined portfolio of 11 mines, with potential rationalization to focus on larger operations producing 150,000-200,000 ounces annually at competitive costs. Equinox has previously demonstrated willingness to optimize its portfolio, having sold smaller mines and spun out non-core assets.The transaction elevates the company from the crowded mid-tier space to the elite senior producer category, potentially attracting increased investment from generalist investors and index funds that require larger market capitalization. With strong leadership, premium assets, exceptional cash flow, and substantial growth opportunities, the combined Equinox-Calibre entity is well-positioned to create significant long-term shareholder value in the gold mining sector.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/equinox-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The Trombone Corner Podcast is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass and The Brass Ark.  Join hosts Noah and John as they interview Nick Lane, commercial trombonist from Los Angeles.   About Nick: Nick Lane is a free lance trombonist, arranger & composer who's been a fixture on the Los Angeles music scene for many years. Born and raised in Marshalltown Iowa, he attended Drake University on a euphonium scholarship after high school. More excited by performance and jazz, he transferred to Boston's Berklee College of Music to pursue trombone and music composition. Soon after graduating he joined Maynard Ferguson's band and spent the next 4 years honing his skills, recording 5 albums and 17 of his arrangements and/or compositions with Maynard. After moving to L.A. Lane formed his own band resulting in the “Bone in the USA” album in 1985. By that time he'd been asked to do several long tours with Rod Stewart and then Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. So his band leader days transitioned into side man days, touring extensively with Stewart and later the Who (Quadraphenia) Neil Diamond, Etta James, among others. For the past 20+ years, he's often filled in with the group Chicago. When NOT traveling, Lane has found his way onto over 500 CD recordings as well as hundreds of TV shows & movies. His arrangements & compositions have been featured in all mediums. He has released 2 more CD's of his music….Alias Smith & Lane with baritone sax pal Greg Smith and a B-3 organ trio and Songs of the Heartland….a CD of music Lane composed for the Central Iowa Music Festival featuring full orchestra and chorus. It's Nick's fascination with melody and harmony that has inspired his continuing song writing and composing efforts. In more classical settings he has written extensively for brass: large ensemble, brass quintet, trombone quartet & trio plus numerous commissions for various groups and individuals. With writing partner Doc Kupka, several songs have found their way onto recent Tower of Power CD's as well as projects with vocalists Ray Greene and Ellis Hall. (Available on Strokeland Records website) Lane continues to write, record & produce horn sections in the pop, rock & R&B genres. Still not afraid to “shake it” on stage, these days he's more often found in a recording studio, trying to capture the moment.

Part 2 of our podcast with Greg Smith, author of The Battery Powered Home, goes into the intricate details of designing and installing the ideal home battery system. Some of the questions that Greg answers are: * What are the top mistakes homeowners and contractors make? * How can you ensure your system meets building code restrictions? * How can automatic load shedding and generator input capabilities improve the backup performance of your system? One of the most interesting features to me is the capability to connect to external backup power sources, such as a home generator or an EV. This capability provides the potential to partially or completely cut the cord with your utility — Grid Defection, as we say in the business. I think you'll find that Greg's wisdom in both Part 1 and Part 2 will help you sort through the battery system design choices offered by contractors. Part 2 of Tips for the Best Home Backup System podcast is at www.energyshow.biz.

Joining Iain Dale on Cross Question this evening are SNP MP Kirsty Blackman, Tory MP Greg Smith, immigration campaigner Zoe Gardner and political commentator James Starkie.

Almost every solar system installed in California and Hawaii includes batteries. And for good reason. Daytime electric rates are low, evening rates are extremely high, blackouts are common, and utilities pay almost nothing for excess power you send back to the grid. But it's not easy to design a battery system that takes into account homeowner power needs throughout the day, specific home wiring requirements, and building code restrictions on battery locations. Ironically, one of the biggest challenges is overcoming battery manufacturer hype that they can always back up your home for as long as you want during a blackout. My guest on this week's Energy Show is Greg Smith, author of The Battery Powered Home. Because there is so much content to cover we've recorded two podcast segments with Greg. This first part focuses on battery system power and energy ratings — coupled with information about your home appliances — that will help homeowners make the right system design choices. Greg also delves into the three basic design approaches for a typical home battery system: arbitrage only, essential load backup, and whole home backup. So If you're thinking about adding a battery to your rooftop solar system, or just getting a completely new combined solar and battery system, please tune into Part 1 of Tips for the Best Home Backup System with Greg Smith at www.energyshow.biz.
