SpaceX is targeting a $1.77 trillion valuation, but some analysts think it's worth half that. Plus, Florida sues OpenAI — the first state to take legal action against an AI company. But first, President Donald Trump signed an executive order this week, similar to the one he called off last month, asking AI companies to give the government a first look at advanced models that could have national security implications. It comes after models like Anthropic's Mythos have raised cybersecurity concerns for reportedly being too good at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities.Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Liz Lopatto, senior reporter at The Verge, to learn more.Everything we talked about:“PROMOTING ADVANCED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INNOVATION AND SECURITY” from the White House“Trump Signs Executive Order Seeking Oversight of A.I.

Conversational AI is increasingly being used as a source of emotional support, even though general-purpose chatbots were never designed for that purpose. Concerns about AI's mental health impact, up to and including suicides, have moved onto the public policy agenda. Munmun De Choudhury, who has been studying the intersection of digital technology and mental health longer than almost anyone, walks through what researchers know, what they don't, and why the answers keep moving.  The conversation centers on the difficulty of governing technologies whose capabilities and patterns of use are both changing every few weeks. De Choudhury invokes the cautionary tale of Google Flu Trends as a warning: any framework that assumes user behavior is fixed will eventually break. She argues that the harms and benefits of conversational AI are not just person-dependent but task-dependent, which makes general-purpose chatbots fundamentally harder to evaluate than the narrow medical AI systems researchers built for decades. She lays out a multi-stakeholder agenda to address AI's mental health risks, and argues that foundation models need to take into account principles from psychotherapy.  Dr. Munmun De Choudhury is the J.Z. Liang Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, where she founded and directs the Social Dynamics and Wellbeing Lab (SocWeB). She is one of the most cited researchers in digital mental health and is widely credited with pioneering the computational use of social media data to study mental health outcomes. She co-leads the Patient-Centered Care Delivery research pillar at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Pediatric Technology Center, serves on the advisory board for the Australian government's eSafety panel, and was inducted into the SIGCHI Academy in 2024. Her honors include the 2023 SIGCHI Societal Impact Award and the 2021 ACM-W Rising Star Award.  Transcript Benefits and Harms of Large Language Models in Digital Mental Health From Lived Experience to Insight: Unpacking the Psychological Risks of Using AI Conversational Agents

Since 2010, math scores in 13-year-olds have dropped 14%, reading has dropped 7%, and by 2050, 40% of kids are projected to have myopia and the Surgeon General's office just connected that curve to the screen in your child's hand. Today, I sat down with Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Health at HHS, to walk through the new advisory on screen harms, the 5-D framework parents can use today, and what bell-to-bell phone policies are actually doing in 37 states.

Tom interviews investigative journalist Sonia Elijah about her book 3/11 Viral Takeover, a five-year, evidence-based chronicle of the COVID era with 941 citations drawn from FOIA releases, emails, and leaked documents. Elijah argues COVID policy reflected a coordinated, censorship-driven response, tracing a timeline of pre-2020 pandemic exercises, media/government coordination, and conflicts of interest. She discusses the WHO's March 11, 2020 pandemic declaration, alleged suppression of lab-origin discussion, flawed modeling used to justify lockdowns, and problems with PCR testing. The conversation covers propaganda and censorship networks (including the Trusted News Initiative), suppression of early treatments, harms from ventilators and drugs, and allegations of misclassified vaccine trial and safety data, including pregnancy and myocarditis concerns, urging accountability and preparedness against repetition.00:00 Meet Sonia Elijah00:18 Book Thesis and Censorship01:17 Research Depth and Purpose02:49 Will It Happen Again04:40 Why 3 11 Matters06:01 Pandemic Drills and mRNA Push10:53 Bat Database Goes Dark12:18 FOIA Emails and Lab Leak15:04 Cracks and Conflicts18:10 Lockdowns Driven by Models19:19 PCR Testing Anomalies25:31 Harms and Care Homes26:37 Testing Kit Profiteering29:40 Fear Messaging and Propaganda32:10 Dancing Nurses and Empty Wards33:39 Trusted News Initiative37:17 Natural Immunity Censored38:17 Lancet Study Fallout40:13 Ivermectin Smear Campaign41:57 Silencing Doctors Online43:30 Hospital Protocol Controversies45:09 Redefining Vaccinated Data46:38 Retracted Myocarditis Research48:46 Missing Safety Reports53:31 Pfizer Papers Deep Dive58:13 Vaccine Injured Silenced59:52 Pregnancy Harms Revealed01:04:40 Justice and Accountability01:07:32 Closing Thoughts on the Bookhttps://x.com/sonia_elijahhttps://linktr.ee/SoniaElijahBook Review by Robert Malone— 3/11: Viral Takeover: https://www.malone.news/p/book-review-311-viral-takeoverOrder it at Amazon here: https://www.malone.news/p/book-review-311-viral-takeover=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Weaponizing therapy-speak co-opts healing language as a way to avoid the actual work of healing. "I'm triggered." "I don't feel safe." "He's a narcissist." "You're gaslighting me." These are rarely accurate, and more often than not they're just a fancy way to say "shut up", and stifle the big uncomfortable feelings of disagreement and misunderstanding. Therapy-speak is helpful when it's a doorway, and relationally dangerous when it's the destination.In this episode, Georgianna and Steph dig into what's actually happening when we reach for diagnostic language in real time, what it costs us in relationships, and the somatic shadow work tools we can use to access what's underneath — the stuff this language is helping us avoid.Steph goes hard on the ways this unresolved shadow material scales — from your body, to your relationships, to the wider world — and Georgianna brings the somatic mechanism — what's actually happening in the body when a trigger fires, and the small, doable practices that build the capacity to be with discomfort instead of trying to legislate it out of existence.They confess their own patterns from years gone by: Georgianna's temporary relief when she discovered therapy-speak, which gave her the vocabulary to describe what she was experiencing with an avoidant ex, and Steph's past weaponizing of these terms as diagnoses to shut people up and avoid her own big feelings. Same mechanism, different use case. Both very common in society today, and all of it ultimately unhelpful for our lives and relationships.The throughline: words like "triggered" and "unsafe" should be starting points for curiosity and connection. When they're not, our relationships contract, the world shrinks, and the unresolved fight energy underneath comes out sideways in every aspect of our experience.What you'll learn:The physiology of a trigger and how to recognize one before it runs your conversationWhy naming an attachment style or a diagnosis feels like relief but still leaves you stuckWhy saying "I don't feel safe" about your (non-abusive) partner is self-defeating, confusing, and breaks trust — and what to say insteadThe "magic pill" practice for staying with discomfort one breath at a timeHow suppressed fight energy fuels weaponization — and how to transform itThe difference between real compassion and suppressed anger dressed as compassionHow your suppressed anger is present and palpable whether you admit it out loud or notResources Mentioned:Self-Compassionate Body-Based Toolkit — personal self-connection studio for self-led practice being with big feelings and growing your nervous system capacitySomatic Integration Sessions — twice-monthly live practice containerConscious Relationship Training — twice yearly live cohort for relational shadow workIf you're tired of the therapy-speak and want to know what's next, this episode opens the door.With love,Georgianna & Steph

“My father taught me … keep your friends close but your enemies closer.” – Michael (Al Pacino) The Godfather Part II (1974) Could this explain our ‘dearest allies’, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and perhaps Great Britain?

In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. [x] Websters 1828 – Webster’s Dictionary 1828 – Probity > Primarily, tried virtue or integrity, or approved actions; but in general, strict honesty; sincerity; veracity; integrity in principle, or strict conformity of actions to the laws of justice. probity of mind or principle is best evinced by probity of conduct in social dealings, particularly in adhering to strict integrity in the observance and performance of rights called imperfect, which public laws to not reach and cannot enforce. ‘On This Day’ Related [x] WW3 – Albert Pike and the Three World Wars > The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the ‘agentur’ of the ‘Illuminati’ between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion. We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.

Gambling disorder is a behavioural addiction that affects a large number of individuals, yet often goes unrecognised. In this podcast, Dr Myooran Canagaratnam is joined by two of the UK's leading experts, Prof Henrietta Bowden-Jones and Prof Sam Chamberlain, to explore gambling and its profound clinical, social and psychiatric implications. Drawing on frontline experience, the discussion looks at how gambling disorder presents, those most at risk, and why comorbidity with depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other conditions makes it highly relevant to psychiatric practice. This podcast examines the impact of digital gambling, dopamine-modulating medications, and the wide-ranging spectrum of gambling-related harms. The podcast also offers an overview of evidence-based treatment and the rapidly expanding research which is now underpinned by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence] guidance and the gambling levy.

Declining U.S. Fertility Rates: Scott and Sean discuss how the U.S. fertility rate has hit a historic low. They explore how economic pressures and a secular worldview that prioritizes personal "settling" over family are driving this decline.Canada's "Online Harms" Bill (C-63): They examine a new Canadian bill that aims to combat hate but may threaten religious liberty. Concerns are raised about increased penalties for "hate crimes" and how broadly "hate" might be defined by the government.Finland's Shift on Gender Care: A peer-reviewed study from Finland is highlighted, showing that young people who undergo gender reassignment surgery often require significant psychiatric care years later. This has prompted a more cautious approach to gender-affirming care in Finland.The Ethics of "Sharenting": The episode addresses the growing backlash from children raised in "sharenting" families who are unhappy that their childhoods were broadcast to the world for clicks. The hosts discuss the moral implications of parents using their children for social media content.Audience Question: Ancient Atheistic Cultures: The hosts respond to a question about whether there have ever been successful atheistic cultures in history, noting that most civilizations have been rooted in some form of religious belief.Audience Question: AI and the Future: They discuss the rapid development of AI, specifically its potential role in shifting human relationships and contributing to social isolation.Audience Question: Faith and Fiction: An aspiring author asks for advice on whether to include LGBTQ characters in their stories, sparking a conversation on how to represent reality truthfully while remaining faithful to a biblical worldview.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at thinkbiblically@biola.edu.

New research reveals 5G frequencies might actually help skin cells recover from UV damage -- reducing DNA damage markers by up to eighty percent in laboratory tests. R Blank examines this unexpected finding from Korean researchers and explains what it means for our understanding of 5G's biological effects. While the results challenge typical assumptions about wireless radiation, the protective effects were limited and don't change recommendations for everyday 5G exposure. In This Episode How 5G frequencies reduced UV-induced DNA damage by thirty to eighty percent Why the protective effects only worked after UV exposure, not before What these surprising results mean for 5G safety research Featured Study Read the full study: 5G RF-EMFs Mitigate UV-Induced Genotoxic Stress Through Redox Balance and p38 Pathway Regulation in Skin Cells See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

Send us Fan MailIn 1944, a group of healthy young men volunteered to be starved in the name of science. What happened to them — physically, psychologically, and socially — is one of the most important pieces of evidence we have about what dieting actually does to the human body. Evidence that has been ignored for 80 years. This week, I break down the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, asks why medicine continues to prescribe a treatment it knows causes harm, and make the case that forcing fat people to diet isn't medical care — it's cruel and unusual punishment.Got a question for the next podcast?

Let's talk about how bad social media really is for our mental health and relationships.

Have you ever left a session feeling smaller than when you walked in? In this episode of Food Junkies: Clinician's Corner, Clarissa and Molly explore one of the most important — and least talked about — dynamics in eating disorder, food addiction, and substance use treatment: what happens when the clinician's model gets in the way of the client's healing.

Kamaldeep Bhui is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford and Honorary Professor at Queen Mary University of London. He is internationally recognized for his groundbreaking work on cultural psychiatry, ethnic inequalities in mental health, and the social determinants of distress. In recognition of his contributions to mental health research and policy, he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). He has written extensively on the grim reality of minorities facing higher rates of psychiatric detention and coercion. In an era of algorithmic checklists and time-pressured care, Bhui argues for reclaiming biographical listening and patients' own stories and understandings. Without cherishing lived experience, clinicians lose meaning in their work and patients lose agency, trust, and hope. In this interview, we will discuss how our contexts and culture reach deep within us to inform our experience of pain, and to indicate what is abnormal, why we feel distress, and what it means to heal. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Indigenous scholar Tyson Yunkaporta (Apalech clan (Wik) Lostmob Nungar) joins the Mongabay Newscast to detail the Aboriginal perspectives behind his latest book, Right Story, Wrong Story: Adventures in Indigenous Thinking. The book explains how stories shape society, how they can harm us and the environment, and how they may save our species and the natural world. Yunkaporta explains how Indigenous laws, systems and lore can help us improve modern society, specifically in how humans relate first to the land, then to each other, and why this shapes how we exploit nature and care for it. Identifying the "wrong story" is critical, Yunkaporta explains, to correcting harmful behaviors or ways of governing. Ultimately, it's a lie, he says. Personified by what he characterizes as narcissistic or selfish behavior, it's generally seen by those who exploit the natural world at the expense of community well-being. "It's a terrible thing to … misrepresent things, make false claims, bear false witness in a way that is bending story, the story that everybody follows. The narratives that people tell that weave together to make a community and to hold a community on the right path that's sustainable for thousands of years."

I talk a lot about what we eat for our health. But what about the air we breathe at home?If you or your kids have asthma, constant sniffles, a lingering cough, sinus issues, or you've noticed damp patches and that musty smell, this episode could change how you think about your home.As a new dad, I'm personally really interested in how our home environment shapes early immune development. This conversation made me think differently about ventilation, condensation and what really matters.My guest is Dr Peter Cook, a Wellcome Trust Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the MRC Centre for Medical Mycology at the University of Exeter. His research looks at how airborne fungal spores interact with the immune system and drive allergic and asthmatic disease, an area that has been surprisingly neglected.In this episode, we go into:What mould actually is and when it becomes a problemWhat is a safe level of mould?How mould exposure can trigger asthma and allergic diseaseWho's most at riskWhether mould testing kits are worth your moneyIf dehumidifiers and air purifiers actually workPractical steps you can take this week to reduce your exposure and protect your health

Most people in AI are trying to give AIs ‘good' values. Max Harms wants us to give them no values at all. According to Max, the only safe design is an AGI that defers entirely to its human operators, has no views about how the world ought to be, is willingly modifiable, and completely indifferent to being shut down — a strategy no AI company is working on at all.In Max's view any grander preferences about the world, even ones we agree with, will necessarily become distorted during a recursive self-improvement loop, and be the seeds that grow into a violent takeover attempt once that AI is powerful enough.It's a vision that springs from the worldview laid out in If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, the recent book by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares, two of Max's colleagues at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute.To Max, the book's core thesis is common sense: if you build something vastly smarter than you, and its goals are misaligned with your own, then its actions will probably result in human extinction.And Max thinks misalignment is the default outcome. Consider evolution: its “goal” for humans was to maximise reproduction and pass on our genes as much as possible. But as technology has advanced we've learned to access the reward signal it set up for us, pleasure — without any reproduction at all, by having sex while on birth control for instance.We can understand intellectually that this is inconsistent with what evolution was trying to design and motivate us to do. We just don't care.Max thinks current ML training has the same structural problem: our development processes are seeding AI models with a similar mismatch between goals and behaviour. Across virtually every training run, models designed to align with various human goals are also being rewarded for persisting, acquiring resources, and not being shut down.This leads to Max's research agenda. The idea is to train AI to be “corrigible” and defer to human control as its sole objective — no harmlessness goals, no moral values, nothing else. In practice, models would get rewarded for behaviours like being willing to shut themselves down or surrender power.According to Max, other approaches to corrigibility have tended to treat it as a constraint on other goals like “make the world good,” rather than a primary objective in its own right. But those goals gave AI reasons to resist shutdown and otherwise undermine corrigibility. If you strip out those competing objectives, alignment might follow naturally from AI that is broadly obedient to humans.Max has laid out the theoretical framework for “Corrigibility as a Singular Target,” but notes that essentially no empirical work has followed — no benchmarks, no training runs, no papers testing the idea in practice. Max wants to change this — he's calling for collaborators to get in touch at maxharms.com.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/mh26This episode was recorded on October 19, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Max Harms?

Citizens, judges, and leaders confront a defining test to defend fairness, transparency, and democratic integrity for future generations everywhere...

A humanitarian crisis-- where life has been upset by natural disaster, conflict, or forced displacement-- can disproportionately impact women and girls. Women and girls, at disproportionate risk for gender-based violence, maternal health complications, and barriers to accessing aid, have different requirements in these settings. Julianne Deitch, Associate Director of Research at the Women's Refugee Commission (WRC), looks back with us on this last year's foreign aid cuts and talks to us about the substantial impacts on women and girls in crisis.Before 2025, the U.S. was one of the largest donors to humanitarian aid globally, with aid hovering at 13 billion dollars annually to address immediate needs for population in crises. Still, humanitarian aid made up less than 0.1% of the gross national income. In January 2025, the Trump administration froze all U.S. foreign aid and dismantled U.S. foreign assistance infrastructure (including closing USAID). Over the last year, WRC collected concrete evidence from over 32 countries. They found that women and girls in humanitarian crises: 1) have lost access to necessary health care (maternal health, sexual and reproductive health care, antiviral drugs, and more); 2) are less safe from gender-based violence; and 3) have lost access to women-led, targeted, trusted, local support. Increased funding, advancing the life-saving principle of gender-specific humanitarian aid, supporting local, women-led organizations, and holding governments accountable are all recommendations for addressing this reality. For more information, check out Future Hindsight: https://www.futurehindsight.com/Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!
