Joe and Dave are joined by guest Rob Allen from ThreatLocker who shares a story on how a spoofed call to the help desk unraveled into a full-blown cyber siege on MGM Resorts.

Mark shares his expertise on AI autonomy in military strategy, breaking down the differences between automation and true autonomy. We discuss how AI-driven systems could revolutionize combat by reducing human casualties, improving precision, and enhancing battlefield decision-making. But with these advancements come serious concerns—how do we prevent automation bias? Can we trust AI to make life-or-death decisions? And will AI-driven warfare lower the threshold for conflict, making war more frequent? We also examine the global AI arms race, the impact of AI on defense policies, and the ethical implications of fully autonomous weapons. Mark unpacks key challenges like the black box problem, AI alignment issues, and the long-term consequences of integrating AI into military operations. He also shares insights from his latest book, where he calls for international AI regulations to prevent an uncontrolled escalation of AI warfare.

Part two of the Las Vegas Mass Shooting in 2017, Sean, Jorge, and Eric—dive into one of the most perplexing and devastating events in modern U.S. history: the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. Known as the deadliest mass shooting in America, it left 60 dead, over 850 injured, and countless questions that remain unanswered. This episode explores the investigation that unfolded in the days, weeks, and months following the attack. From the arsenal of weapons found in Paddock's suite to his surveillance setup and cryptic handwritten notes, Sean, Jorge, and Eric dissect the layers of preparation that reveal a methodical yet inexplicable mind. The team also discusses Paddock's digital footprint, including his unsettling searches for other large public events, his encrypted files, and his lack of an ideological manifesto. But what drives this discussion are the theories. Was Paddock motivated by financial stress, undiagnosed mental health issues, or an obsession with notoriety? Did his actions have ties to a broader, hidden conspiracy involving illegal arms deals or even government manipulation? And how credible are the claims of terrorism links made by groups like ISIS, which were ultimately dismissed by U.S. authorities? The boys also delve into the ripple effects of the tragedy. From the federal ban on bump stocks to MGM Resorts' $800 million settlement with victims, they examine how the shooting changed the conversations around gun control, corporate responsibility, and public safety. Ultimately, Sean, Jorge, and Eric grapple with the central question: Why? Despite an exhaustive investigation, the lack of a definitive motive leaves a lingering sense of uncertainty and fuels endless speculation. Join the boys for a thoughtful, investigative into one of the most haunting events of our time, as they unpack the facts, the theories, and the unanswered questions surrounding the Las Vegas shooting.

Episode Notes Expedia Group CEO Ariane Gorin said at the Skift Global Forum on Thursday that some of its brands took a hit during its recently completed tech migration, writes Travel Technology Reporter Justin Dawes. But the new CEO said Expedia, which was the least disrupted of its core brands, has done well, with growth in room nights of 20% in the second quarter. Now Gorin is focused on getting more customers for Vrbo. The tech migration could help as Vrbo and Expedia Group's brands can share inventory more easily. The company has also been adding comparison shopping features and rebuilding its group trip planning feature, among other changes.  Next, JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty acknowledged at the Skift Global Forum that she has faced numerous challenges nine months into her tenure, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi.  Geraghty said she doesn't see any mergers in JetBlue's future after the federal government blocked its acquisition of Spirit Airlines. JetBlue is expected to ground several of its aircraft this year due to issues with Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines, which Geraghty said has been frustrating for JetBlue. That number could increase in the next two years.   JetBlue announced on Thursday it would open its first-ever lounges at its New York and Boston hubs as part of its plan to attract more premium travelers. Geraghty maintained that JetBlue would remain a low-cost airline — just one with a premier segment.  Finally, MGM Resorts is building its own “Dubai Sphere,” which it argues will be as compelling as the Las Vegas Sphere, writes Middle East Reporter Josh Corder. CEO Bill Hornbuckle said the company's $2 billion project, which has been in flux since 2017, will include 300 seats with a mini showroom. While Dubai's iteration wouldn't be as big as the one in Las Vegas, Hornbuckle added the Emirati version would have all the typical features of a sphere.  Original plans for the Dubai Sphere said it would be a part of an entertainment tower located in the center of a complex with three MGM Resorts brands.  For more travel stories and deep dives into the latest trends, head to skift.com.  Connect with Skift LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/skift/ X: https://twitter.com/skift Facebook: https://facebook.com/skiftnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skiftnews/ WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAL375LikgIXmNPYQ0L/ Subscribe to @SkiftNews and never miss an update from the travel industry.
