Houston, we have a problem, because, believe it or not, the movies we're discussing on this episode of Baconsale are now 30 years old. As if! Joel, Kent, and Zack have each looked back to infinity and beyond (a.k.a. 1995) to choose films for their own personal Mount Rushmores, before going just around the riverbend to pick answers for categories such as Childhood Favorite, Hipster Pick, The Stuff of Nightmares, and Favorite Soundtrack Song. And while we may ruffle some feathers with our hot takes, repeated picks, and Mickey Mouse/Adam Sandler impersonations, just know that we have the FREEEEEDOM to do so.   Holy schnikes, Batman! Strap on your rollerblades, experiment with computer graphics, and press play!

L'Américaine Karen Hao a commencé sa vie professionnelle au sein d'une start up de Google, mais très vite, elle est devenue journaliste spécialiste de l'intelligence artificielle en couvrant le secteur des technologies pour le Wall Street Journal, la revue sur la technologie du MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) et le magazine américain The Atlantic. Elle vient tout juste de publier “Empire of AI, Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI" (Penguin Press), la première grande enquête sur OpenAI, cette association à but non lucratif qui a donné naissance à l'une des entreprises les plus valorisées en bourse à l'échelle mondiale. Dans un entretien avec Sur le Fil, elle raconte les coulisses de cette mutation et les conséquences très concrètes pour l'environnement et certains travailleurs employés notamment dans le cadre de l'entraînement des grands modèles d'IA, de la création d'OpenAI et de la compétition sans merci entre géants de la tech pour décrocher le graal, autrement dit l'intelligence artificielle générale.Réalisation : Michaëla Cancela-KiefferDoublage : Catherine TriompheSur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

Nightmares can be terrifying, but what happens when they start to bleed into reality? In this episode, we follow the harrowing journey of a storyteller whose recurring nightmares of a dark figure soon turn into full-blown possession. At first, the dreams were just that—dreams. But soon, the dark figure began appearing in the daytime, watching from the shadows. And then, one night, the figure didn't just watch—it took over. This possession isn't just a slow, creeping dread—it's an immediate, overwhelming force that takes control, leaving the storyteller fighting for their very soul. This episode explores the terrifying escalation from haunting to possession and the lengths someone must go to in order to free themselves from a force that wants to take everything.

A group of strangers meet at an abandoned theme park, haunted by nightmares plaguing them. The source of their nightmares is somewhere in the park and only they can stop it.

We're all getting ready to hit the road for vacations and/or tours, so we thought we would spend an hour analyzing our own particular form of crazy: traveling with small children. Why do we do it? When don't we do it? And what's the very worst that can happen? (Hint, it involves starving children and diesel fuel). In our luggage this week, are some of the really wonderful novels for children and adults published by Ignatius Press. We're so grateful for the care and attention Ignatius devotes to publishing contemporary (and classic) Catholic fiction, and love recommending their books to others. Right now, you can save 35 percent on all Ignatius novels (and 65 percent on e-versions) with the code VisitationNovels. Some of our favorites that we mentioned on the show include: Charis in the World of Wonders, If You Can Get It, The Spear, The Vanishing Woman, and the Louipo series.Let's Meet in PersonIf you're in the Dayton/Columbus/Cincinnati area, pencil in July 19 on your calendar.

Welcome back to The Spark, your extra dose of insight and fun from this week's guest. Today, Adrian Carroll of D8 returns to answer a few quick-fire questions—and as you'd expect from someone with decades of experience, his answers are full of wisdom and wit. Adrian shares his most controversial creative opinion (and it's a good one), the best advice he's ever received, and the one ordinary day he'd relive if he could. He also reveals the word that gets on his nerves the most, his favourite place in the world, and a random dream that's stuck with him. And yes, we discover his party trick. It's the perfect way to wrap up the week, with a few laughs, a few surprises, and even more insight into the creative mind behind D8. This season is proudly sponsored by the School of Communication Arts.

Send us a textIn this episode of Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales, we talk about survival, resistance, and the things that still haunt the night.We explore the history of the Seminole people—how they formed out of conflict, escaped colonization, and built a life deep in the Florida swamps. From alligator wrestling to stomp dances, their culture is rooted in power and defiance. But we also uncover something darker: the Stikini. A person by day. A heart-eating owl spirit by night. This isn't just a story—it's a real warning passed down for generations. We'll break down the truth about bad medicine, the tools used, how it's done, and why some Seminole elders still refuse to say specific names after dark.Got a story of your own?

U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota calls details in the politically motivated murders of Minnesota state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and the attempted murders of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, nothing short of "chilling" and saying of suspect Vance Boelter, "His Crimes are the stuff of Nightmares".

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam recounts his trip to Palm Springs and how his electric car ran out of battery in the middle of the night. That story sparks a rant about California's looming EV mandate and Gavin Newsom's lawsuit against Trump for canceling it. Adam then tells a hilarious story about “accidentally” giving his vegetarian staff meat tacos and explains his biggest beef with ESPN. He also reacts to a cringeworthy Bill Maher clip featuring Rob Reiner and Amy Klobuchar, and closes out the segment with some sharp observations about Stephen A. Smith's mustache and the possible reasoning behind Michael Jordan's infamous 'stache.In the news, Jason "Mayhem" Miller joins Adam to cover Joe Rogan's claim that two former presidents contacted Spotify over his COVID commentary—which ironically boosted his podcast by 2 million subscribers. They also react to MrBeast's outrageous $500K date night at an empty Disneyland and discuss Candace Cameron Bure's fear that scary movies open portals to Hell. Adam wraps the news segment with a story about the time he was the most terrified in his life, then continues with a breakdown of the recent Indian plane crash. He reacts to a viral video of white protestors blocking a Black woman from getting to work, unleashes a fiery rant on the entitlement of modern-day activists, and explains why he—and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis—believe running over protestors who block traffic might just be justified.

From a young age, a listener from Bangladesh began seeing a man cloaked in traditional Islamic attire—bearded, calm, and saintly. But what seemed spiritual quickly took a terrifying turn. After losing two siblings to ALS, the visits became more intense. Scratches at the windows. Grunts in the night. Nightmares are worse than horror movies. And when his fiancée began seeing the same entity—without ever being told—it became clear: this was no ordinary haunting. With guidance from religious scholars and repeated warnings about a bloodline curse, he now believes an ancient demon is stalking him and his family. And it may never leave.

Comedian Emily Siero was in studio with Chaz and AJ, sharing some recent tipping nightmares. The Tribe was quick to jump in to share their experiences from both sides of the transaction. 

John is joined by journalist Karen Hao to discuss her new book, “Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI,” and both the promise and the perils of the coming age of artificial intelligence. Hao explains how OpenAI went from being an altruistic nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that A.I. would “benefit all of humanity” to a burgeoning commercial colossus valued at north of $300 billion; how Altman wrested control of the company from his co-founder Elon Musk; why skepticism is warranted regarding the claims that superhuman A.I. is inevitable; and how that narrative, true or not, serves the economic and political interests of the cabal of tech bros who are A.I.'s most fervent boosters.

Do we get the nonfiction we deserve? LATimes book critic Bethanne Patrick wrestles with this question through five new books that both mirror and address our fractured psyche. From Melissa Fibos' choice of celibacy over toxic sexual romance to a lone wolf crossing impossible borders, all these works expose a world grappling with isolation, AI empires, and the collapse of meaningful discourse. Whether it's Thomas Chatterton Williams's critique of wokeness, Damon Young's biting anthology of new black comedy, or Karen Hao's disturbing portrait of OpenAI as our new imperial reality ( Tomorrow's show features a full interview with Hao), each book reflects our deeper crisis: the inability to connect authentically in our age of social isolation and anxiety. The Dry Season: A Memoir of Pleasure in a Year Without Sex - Melissa Fibos. Melissa Fibos, a writer with a history of intense romantic fixations, realizes she's addicted to the chase rather than genuine connection. She embarks on a year-long celibacy experiment, allowing masturbation and fantasies but avoiding all dating and partnered sex. It's a transformative journey of empowerment as Fibos discovers authentic pleasure in solitude, food, and simple experiences, ultimately meeting her future wife before completing the full year.Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and The Demise of Discourse - Thomas Chatterton Williams. This multiracial critic argues that America's obsession with racial categories perpetuates the very divisions we claim to fight, insisting that race is purely a social construct with no biological basis. Writing from his perspective as an American expat in France, Williams contends that woke discourse and "correct" language distract from addressing real structural problems. His book challenges readers to move beyond tired black-versus-white frameworks toward more nuanced conversations about power and identity.That's How They Get You: An Unruly Anthology of Black American Humor - Edited by Damon Young This collection features sharp satirical pieces from top Black American writers who skewer everything from Karen culture to Disney's racial blindness to tech company exploitation. Contributors include Mateo Askaripour (who wrote the acclaimed "Black Buck") offering biting commentary on workplace racism and cultural appropriation. The anthology demonstrates how humor serves as both weapon and shield, allowing writers to expose systemic absurdities while maintaining their sanity in an often hostile world.Lone Wolf: Walking the Line Between Civilization and Wildness - Adam Weymouth In 2011, a wolf named Slavc traveled over 1,000 miles from Slovenia to the Italian Alps, becoming the first wolf in that region for decades and eventually establishing a pack of over 100. Weymouth follows this remarkable journey to explore how artificial barriers—from the Iron Curtain to Trump's border wall—prevent both wildlife and human refugees from reaching safety. The book uses the wolf's migration as a lens to examine what happens when the wild refuses to respect human boundaries and how life persistently seeks ways to thrive despite our attempts to control it.Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI - Karen Hao. Based on 90 interviews with current and former OpenAI executives plus dozens more from competing tech companies. Hao argues that without proper regulation and transparency, AI could evolve into a modern version of the British East India Company—a technological monopoly that serves elite interests while reshaping global power structures. Tomorrow's show features a full interview with Hao.

Trailblazing AI journalist Karen Hao comes all the way from Hong Kong to San Francisco to discuss the issues raised in her new book, Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI. Hao tackles the hard-hitting questions many people are afraid to face about the disruptive power of artificial intelligence and the forces driving its rapid ascent. A longtime AI insider with unparalleled access to OpenAI and its key players, Hao has spent years investigating the industry's hidden costs—human, environmental, and geopolitical. As a journalist whose award-winning work has been cited by Congress and featured in leading publications such as The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal and MIT Technology Review, she has become one of the most authoritative voices on AI today. Now Hao pulls back the curtain on the tech arms race reshaping our world in real time. From the breakneck rise of OpenAI and its Faustian bargain with Microsoft to the global supply chains powering AI's insatiable appetite for data, energy and human labor, she reveals the staggering scale of the industry's ambitions—and its consequences. With exclusive behind-the-scenes insights, including the dramatic firing and reinstatement of Sam Altman (a highly public corporate drama that began just days after Altman talked AI ethics on the Commonwealth Club stage), Hao will discuss not just a corporate saga but a crucial examination of the future of power, technology and society itself. Join us for this urgent and thought-provoking conversation about the past, present, and future of AI—what's at stake, who stands to gain, and who is being left behind.   Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California is a nonprofit public forum; we welcome donations made during registration to support the production of our programming.

As AI models grow larger and more powerful, they promise incredible capabilities — but at what cost? Karen Hao is an AI journalist and her new book, Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI, is a New York Times bestseller. We discuss whether the largest AI models are worth their hefty footprint: They consume massive amounts of electricity and water and Karen argues that smaller models better balance cost vs. benefit. Karen, who has reported for The Atlantic, MIT Technology Review, and the Wall Street Journal, will also provide a view of AI from outside — far outside — Silicon Valley. She's reported on AI from across the Global South and says many there feel that AI is a new form of colonialism.We'll hear about the fight over data centers in Chile, how New Zealand's Maori people are using AI to preserve their indigenous language, and why it's a problem that AI can speak any language, but can only really be policed in a few.(Our interview was first broadcast in October, while Karen was still writing the book, so we do not discuss her deeply sourced reporting from inside OpenAI.)—CRAFTED. is produced by Modern Product Minds, where CRAFTED. host Dan Blumberg and team can help you take a new product from zero to one... and beyond.

Would you still go through with surgery if you knew what really happened behind the scenes?In Part 2 of our most jaw-dropping series yet, Dr. Rady Rahban is once again joined by Paula, a seasoned OR nurse turned nurse practitioner, to continue exposing the shocking realities taking place in some of the most prestigious operating rooms in Beverly Hills. From false pregnancy tests being ignored… to untrained staff administering meds… to surgeons leaving the OR mid-procedure—this episode is not fiction. It's Paula's real-life experience, and it will make you think twice about who you're trusting with your body and your life. We unpack the dark truth about how cutting corners in plastic surgery is often about one thing: money. And while the glamor of board certification and big social media followings may lure you in, what happens after you go under is what matters most. This is not about fear. It's about being informed.

Was it a misunderstood update or a soulless clone?Tune in as we dissect the dream logic, the backlash, and the future of Freddy's nightmares. Check out more of my content here - https://linktr.ee/FirstClassHorrorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.
