Podcasts about Palantir

The US military is changing shape: it's increasingly high-tech, intelligence led, and focused on assassinations. In short, the Israeli model. And the changing shape of war means changing flows of money and power. The primes, which have dominated the military industrial for decades, now face competition from Silicon Valley companies like Palantir and Anduril. But […]

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: On balance, is it good or bad news that the Pentagon is using artificial intelligence? As the U.S. military deploys advanced AI tools like Palantir's Maven Smart System to process battlefield intelligence and assist in real-time targeting, a political and ethical firestorm is brewing. After a reported fallout between the Pentagon and AI firm Anthropic, questions swirl about mass surveillance, autonomous weapons, and who controls the future of warfare—the military or Silicon Valley. Michael is clear about where he stands, but what do you think? Is AI a necessary strategic edge in a dangerous world—or a line we shouldn't cross? Cast your vote and join the debate.

Artificial intelligence continues to advance, but the debate over its economic consequences takes place mostly in two separate spheres: amongst the technologists developing the technology and the workers whose jobs may be transformed by it. As technology gets deployed, the question is no longer whether it will reshape the labor market, but who will benefit and who will bear the costs.American Compass co-hosted a recent Labor + AI Summit in Washington, D.C., where Oren moderated a conversation between Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, and Sean O'Brien, General President of the International Brotherhood of the Teamsters. They discuss how AI may shift labor demand away from white-collar professions, the risks of deepening economic inequality if workers are excluded from the conversation, and why labor must have a “seat at the table” as new technologies are implemented. They also explore the role of unions, the pressures globalization and immigration have placed on wages, and what it would take to ensure that AI strengthens rather than destabilizes the American middle class.

In banking, we often talk about the "front end" customer experience or the "back end" systems of record. But according to S.P. “Wije” Wijegoonaratna, the founder of Aliya, the real revolution is happening right in the middle. From his early days in the UK to his time in the high-stakes world of New York hedge funds and his role as an early investor at SoFi, Wije has consistently found himself at the intersection of financial data and decision-making.At its core, Aliya is an operational intelligence layer that sits between a bank's customer-facing front end and its core system of record, what Wije calls "the middle." It combines transaction categorization trained on 1.5 trillion transactions from nearly 1,500 banks, dynamic risk segmentation, and real-time post-origination monitoring into a single microservices platform.In our conversation, we discuss why Aliya went after the largest banks first, how their approach to post-origination risk management drives charge-off rates as low as 2.5%, why Wije believes Nubank poses an existential threat to regional and community banks, and why he thinks the biggest opportunity in banking today lies in transforming that middle layer.In this podcast, you will learn:How meeting Mike Cagney and the founders of Palantir was the catalyst for the birth of Aliya.Why they decided to start with helping banks with lending.The two core offerings Aliya has today.Why the cumulative losses on their portfolio is far better than most lenders.How they decide when to take action on a consumer that may be having problems.Why they chose to focus on selling to the large banks first.What they are providing to the large banks exactly.Why Aliya doesn't fit into any fintech category.Where the biggest opportunity for Aliya is today.Why Wije believes Nubank is going to be successful in the US.What is next for Aliya.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

This week we talk about Anthropic, the Department of Defense, and OpenAI.We also discuss red lines, contracts, and lethal autonomous systems.Recommended Book: Empire of AI by Karen HaoTranscriptLethal autonomous weapons, often called lethal autonomous systems, autonomous weapons systems, or just ‘killer robots,' are military hardware that can operate independent of human control, searching for and engaging with targets based on their programming and thus not needing a human being to point it at things or pull the trigger.The specific nature and capabilities of these devices vary substantially from context to content, and even between scholars writing on the subject, but in general these are systems—be they aerial drones, heavy gun emplacements, some kind of mobile rocket launcher, or a human- or dog-shaped robot—that are capable of carrying out tasks and achieving goals without needing constant attention from a human operator.That's a stark contrast with drones that require either a human controlled or what's called a human-in-the-loop in order to make decisions. Some drones and other robots and weapons require full hands-on control, with a human steering them, pointing their weapons, and pulling the trigger, while others are semi-autonomous in that they can be told to patrol a given area and look for specific things, but then they reach out to a human-in-the-loop to make final decisions about whatever they want to do, including and especially weapon-related things; a human has to be the one to drop the bomb or fire the gun in most cases, today.Fully autonomous weapon systems, without a human in the loop, are far less common at this point, in part because it's difficult to create a system so capable that it doesn't require human intervention at times, but also because it's truly dangerous to create such a device.Modern artificial intelligence systems are incredibly powerful, but they still make mistakes, and just as an LLM-based chatbot might muddle its words or add extra fingers to a made-up person in an image it generates, or a step further, might fabricate research referenced in a paper it produces, an AI-controlled weapon system might see targets where there are no targets, or might flag a friendly, someone on its side, or a peaceful, noncombatant human, as a target. And if there's no human-in-the-loop to check the AI's understanding and correct it, that could mean a lot of non-targets being treated like targets, their lives ended by killer robots that gun them down or launch a missile at their home.On a larger scale, AI systems controlling arrays of weapons, or even entire militaries, becoming strategic commanders, could wipe out all human life by sparking a nuclear war.A recent study conducted at King's College London found that in simulated crises, across 21 scenarios, AI systems which thought they had control of nation-state-scale militaries opted for nuclear signaling, escalation, and tactical nuclear weapon use 95% of the time, never once across all simulations choosing to use one of the eight de-escalatory options that were made available to them.All of which suggests to the researchers behind this study that the norm, approaching the level of taboo, associated with nuclear weapons use globally since WWII, among humans at least, may not have carried over to these AI systems, and full-blown nuclear conflict may thus become more likely under AI-driven military conditions.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent confrontation between one AI company—Anthropic—and its client, the US Department of Defense, and the seeming implications of both this conflict, and what happened as a result.—In late-2024, the US Department of Defense—which by the way is still the official title, despite the President calling it the Department of War, since only Congress can change its name—the US DoD partnered with Anthropic to get a version of its Claude LLM-based AI model that could be used by the Pentagon.Anthropic worked with Palantir, which is a data-aggregation and surveillance company, basically, run by Peter Thiel and very favored by this administration, and Amazon Web Services, to make that Claude-for-the-US-military relationship happen, those interconnections allowing this version of the model to be used for classified missions.Anthropic received a $200 million contract with the Department of Defense in mid-2025, as did a slew of other US-based AI companies, including Google, xAI, and OpenAI. But while the Pentagon has been funding a bunch of US-based AI companies for this utility, only Claude was reportedly used during the early 2026 raid on Venezuela, during which now-former Venezuelan President Maduro was taken by US forces.Word on the street is that Claude is the only model that the Pentagon has found truly useful for these sorts of operations, though publicly they're saying that investments in all of these models have borne fruit, at least to some degree.So Anthropic's Claude model is being used for classified, military and intelligence purposes by the US government. Anthropic has been happy about this, by all accounts, because that's a fair bit of money, but also being used for these purposes by a government is a pretty big deal—if it's good enough for the US military, after all, many CEOs will see that as a strong indication that Claude is definitely good enough for their intended business purposes.On February 24 of 2026, though, the US Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, threatened to remove Anthropic from the DoD's stable of AI systems that they use unless the company allowed the DoD to use Claude for any and all legal purposes—unrestricted use of the model, basically.This threat came with a timeline—accede to these demands by February 27 or be cut from the DoD's supply chain—and the day before that deadline, the 26th, Anthropic's CEO released a statement indicating that the company would not get rid of its red lines that delineated what Claude could and could not be used for, and on the 27th, US President Trump ordered that all US agencies stop using Anthropic tools, and said that he would declare the company a supply chain risk, which would make it illegal for any company doing business with the US government at any level and in any fashion to use Anthropic products or services—a label that's rarely used, and which was previously used by the Trump administration against Chinese tech giant Huawei on the basis that the company might insert spy equipment in communications hardware installed across the US if they were allowed to continue operating in the country.Those red lines that Anthropic's CEO said he wouldn't get rid of, not even for a client as big and important as the US government, and not even in the face of threats by Hegseth, including that he might invoke the Defense Production Act, which would allow him to force the company to allow the Pentagon to use Claude however they like, or Trumps threat that the company be blacklisted from not just the government, but from working with a significant chunk of Fortune 500 companies, those red lines include not allowing Claude to be used for controlling autonomous weapon systems, killer robots, basically, and not allowing Claude to be used for surveilling US citizens.The Pentagon signed a contract with Anthropic in which they agreed to these terms, but Hegseth's new demand was that Anthropic sign a new version of the contract in which they allow the US government to use Claude and their other offerings for ‘all legal purposes,' which apparently includes, at least in some cases and contexts, killer robots and mass surveillance.So the Pentagon tried to strong-arm a US-based AI company into allowing them to use their product for purposes the company doesn't consider to be moral, and that led to this situation in which Anthropic is now being phased out from US government use—it'll apparently take about 6 months to do this, and some analysts speculate that timeline is meant to serve as a period in which further negotiation can occur—but either way, it's being phased out and it may even have trouble getting major clients in the future as a result of being blackballed.As all this was happening, OpenAI stepped in and offered its products and services to fill the void left by Anthropic in the US government.OpenAI's CEO has been cozying up to Trump a lot since he regained office, and has positioned the company as a major US asset, too big to fail because then China will win the AI race, basically, so this makes sense. Its CEO released several statements and press releases in the wake of this further cozying, saying that they believe the same things Anthropic does, and that they're not giving up any credibility for doing this because they have the same red lines, no killer robots, no mass surveillance of US citizens.But this is generally assumed to be bunk, because why would the Pentagon agree to the same terms all over again, and with a company that provides, for their purposes and right now, anyway, inferior services instead of the one they just chased out and blackballed, and which was helping them do purposeful, effective things, like kidnapping a foreign leader from a secure facility, today?Instead, what it sounds like is OpenAI is trying to have its cake and eat it too, saying publicly that they don't want their offerings used to control autonomous weapons systems or mass surveil Americans, but instead of writing that into the contract, they've got some basic guardrails baked into their systems, and they are assuming those guardrails will keep any funny business from happening. So it's a sort of gentleman's agreement with their clients that OpenAI products won't be used for mass surveillance or killer robots, rather than something legally binding, as was the case with Anthropic.The response to all this within the tech world has been illustrative of what we might expect in the coming years. Many people, including folks working on these technologies, are halting their use of OpenAI tech in protest, and in some (at this point at least) fewer cases, people are quitting their OpenAI jobs, because they are strongly opposed to these use-cases and would prefer to support a company that takes a strong stand on these sorts of moral issues.Some analysts also wonder if this will ensure the Pentagon only ever has access to inferior AI models because they intentionally threatened and disempowered a key AI industry CEO in public, saying that they had final say over how these tools are used, and many such CEOs are both unaccustomed to such stripping down, but are also doing the work they're doing for ideological reasons—they have beliefs about what the future, as enabled by AI technologies, will look like, and they believe they will play a vital role in making that future happen.The idea, then, is why would they want to work with the Pentagon, or the US government more broadly, if that means no longer being in charge of the destiny of these tools they're putting so much time, effort, and resources into building? Why would they take on a client, even a big, important one, if that means no longer having any grain of control over the future of the world as shaped by the systems they're building?We'll know a bit more about how all this plays out within the next handful of months, as this could serve as a moral differentiator between otherwise near-match products in the AI category, allowing companies like Anthropic to compete, both in terms of clients and in terms of employees, with the likes of OpenAI and xAI by saying, look, we don't want killer robots or mass surveillance and we gave up a LOT, put our money where our mouths are, in support of that moral stance.That could prove to be a serious feather in their cap, despite the initial cost, though it could also be that the pressure the US government is willing and able to apply to them instead serves as a warning to others, and the likes of OpenAI and Google and so on just get better at speaking out of both sides of their mouths on this issue, creating sneakier contracts that allow them to say the same on paper, seeming to take the same moral stance Anthropic did, while behind closed doors allowing their clients to do basically whatever they want with their products, including using them to control killer robots and to mass surveil US citizens.Show Noteshttps://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/artificial-intelligence-under-nuclear-pressure-first-large-scale-kings-study-reveals-how-ai-models-reason-and-escalate-under-crisishttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/26/ai-nuclear-weapons-war-pentagon-scenarioshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/technology/openai-agreement-pentagon-ai.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethal_autonomous_weaponhttps://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/885963/anthropic-dod-pentagon-tech-workers-ai-labs-reacthttps://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/886816/openai-reached-a-new-agreement-with-the-pentagonhttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/trump-moves-to-ban-anthropic-from-the-us-government/https://apnews.com/article/anthropic-pentagon-ai-dario-amodei-hegseth-0c464a054359b9fdc80cf18b0d4f690chttps://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/whats-really-at-stake-in-the-fight-between-anthropic-and-the-pentagon-d450c1a1https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-of-war/https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/artificial-intelligence-under-nuclear-pressure-first-large-scale-kings-study-reveals-how-ai-models-reason-and-escalate-under-crisishttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/26/ai-nuclear-weapons-war-pentagon-scenarios This is a public episode.

Oil is surging, LNG flows are threatened, and defense stocks are flying - but are markets underestimating the inflation shock? In this episode of Market View, hosted by Michelle Martin , we unpack how a widening Middle East conflict is rippling across global markets. Crude jumps past $78, gold climbs, and LNG futures explode as Qatar halts production - yet US equities steady on hopes oil stays below the $100 danger zone flagged by Morgan Stanley. Defense names like Palantir, Lockheed Martin and ST Engineering rise, while travel and aviation players including Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and SATS face pressure. Meanwhile, Nvidia doubles down on photonics with Coherent and Lumentum, CrowdStrike gets an upgrade, and Apple rolls out a lower-cost iPhone 17e. We break down what matters for inflation, rate cuts, and sector rotation - and where smart money may hide if energy volatility persists.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this high-energy episode, JB White opens with a powerful thread framing Donald Trump as a master strategist who understands reality, power, and the true nature of global leadership. From Iran and Israel to Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia, JB argues that what we are witnessing is not chaos—but calculated strength. He explores the difference between words and action, critiques institutional “box-checking” elites, and explains why peace through strength sometimes requires force. JB also dives into media narratives, the USS Liberty debate, European political mindsets, racial discourse in America, Palantir's technological edge, and what he believes is an unprecedented moment of U.S. dominance on the world stage. It's a wide-ranging, unapologetic look at geopolitics, culture, and power—with plenty of classic RattlerGator fire.

La loro capitalizzazione è cresciuta del 38,7% nel 2025. * Dividendi Pubblici: Lo Stato ha incassato circa 3 miliardi di euro di dividendi nel 2025, dato previsto in crescita per il 2026. * Settore Bancario (Mps-Mediobanca): Il piano Lovaglio prevede per Mps un aumento dei dividendi cash dai 2,6 miliardi (2025) ai 3,6 miliardi nel 2030 (+40%). Confermate sinergie per 700 milioni di euro. * Debito Globale: L'indebitamento mondiale ha raggiunto i 106,7 mila miliardi di dollari, superando il 100% del PIL mondiale. Industria e Automotive (Made in Italy)Testate: L'Economia del Corriere della Sera, Repubblica Affari & Finanza * Export e Dazi: La bilancia commerciale italiana ha registrato un saldo attivo di 50,7 miliardi di euro nel 2025. Il surplus con gli Stati Uniti è di 34,2 miliardi, pur calando del 12% a causa delle politiche tariffarie di Trump. * Dazi USA: Nonostante gli annunci di tariffe fino al 30%, il peso effettivo dei balzelli applicati alla frontiera non ha superato la soglia del 10%. * Nuovi Mercati strategici: Sace individua 16 Paesi chiave per la diversificazione, con il podio occupato da India, Marocco e Brasile. In Brasile, l'accordo UE-Mercosur abbatte oltre il 90% dei dazi.Tecnologia e AITestate: Corriere della Sera, La Stampa * AI nel conflitto: Per l'individuazione e l'eliminazione dei vertici iraniani sono state utilizzate tecnologie di AI come Claude (Anthropic) integrata nei software di Palantir. * Consumi Energetici AI: Entro il 2028, il consumo elettrico dei data center negli USA passerà dal 4% al 12% della domanda nazionale. * Investimenti in Alfabetizzazione: Microsoft ha promesso 4 miliardi di dollari e Google 1 miliardo per promuovere l'istruzione e l'alfabetizzazione sull'AI. * Mercato della Robotica: Goldman Sachs stima che il mercato dei robot umanoidi possa raggiungere i 38 miliardi di dollari entro il 2035.Fisco e NormativaTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore, Corriere della Sera, La Stampa * Referendum Giustizia: Fissato per il 22 e 23 marzo.

In this episode, I'm joined by Ansel Stein, Vice President of Operations at Crisis24, and the leader behind AiiA powered by Palantir, an intelligence platform built to help executives cut through noise and make better calls in uncertain conditions.  Ansel's background spans more than two decades across analysis, diplomacy, and high-stakes advisory work, including supporting U.S. national security priorities. Today, he's applying that same discipline to the private sector, helping organizations turn overwhelming streams of information into judgment leaders can actually use. We talk about what "intelligence" really means in this context, and why it's different from collecting more data or running another monitoring program. Ansel breaks down the thinking behind the AiiA President's Brief, inspired by the kind of concise, high-rigor briefings senior government leaders rely on, and explains how that model translates into business decision-making without losing context or nuance. If you have ever felt buried by alerts, headlines, and competing narratives, this conversation puts language around that problem and offers a practical alternative. We also address the concerns many leaders have about AI, privacy, and the fear of being tracked. Ansel is clear on boundaries, what data AiiA uses, why open-source intelligence matters, and how governance needs to be designed upfront if trust is going to hold. From structured analytic techniques and scenario planning to the idea that risk and opportunity often sit side by side, this episode is a look at how organizations can move from reacting to anticipating, without handing accountability over to a machine. If your team is trying to shorten the time from signal to decision while still protecting trust, what would it look like to treat intelligence as a leadership habit rather than a crisis tool, and are you ready to build that muscle before the next disruption hits?

While we're being distracted by chatbots and AI gimmicks, Silicon Valley is quietly embedding its products into surveillance systems, border enforcement, battlefield logistics, and even nuclear command-and-control. The real money isn't in selfies with AI. It's in Pentagon contracts and permanent war footing.Investigative reporter Peter Byrne is back to talk with Steve about his 10-part Military AI Watch series at Project Censored. It's a chilling and materialist analysis of the military-industrial-AI complex.Naming names and following the funding trails, Peter reveals how firms tied to Palantir, Google, and other tech giants are positioning AI as indispensable to “national security.” Meanwhile, the systems themselves remain prone to hallucination, data poisoning, and catastrophic error.War games escalate to nuclear exchange. (Does anyone remember War Games, the movie? Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy play a teenage nerd and a popular girl who save the world from the nuclear destruction they almost launched. Sigh... innocent times.) Civilian infrastructure becomes battlefield terrain. And the comforting promise of a “human in the loop” is a marketing slogan instead of a safeguard. 2001: A Space Odyssey eerily feels both prescient and naive by comparison. Hollywood likes to personalize everything. The villain is wacky or evil; it's never the economic system.As their conversation continues, Steve and Peter look at class power, media complicity, and the illusion that electoral politics alone can rein in a self-directing war machine.Peter Byrne is an award-winning investigative science reporter who has long uncovered corruption at the nexus of science and industry. Now, in partnership with Project Censored, Byrne has launched Military AI Watch, a groundbreaking ten-part series published on Project Censored's website. https://www.projectcensored.org/military-ai-watch/Find all of Peter's work here: https://www.peterbyrne.info/

Hawk breaks down the rapidly escalating conflict between the Pentagon and Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude model, after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth demanded that Anthropic remove two core safety restrictions from its terms of service. Those restrictions prohibit using Claude for mass surveillance of American citizens and for programming weapons to fire without human intervention. Hegseth labeled these protections "woke" and threatened to terminate Anthropic's $200 million Defense Department contract and blacklist the company as a danger to all defense supply chains unless Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei agreed to his demands. Amodei said no. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's Grok chatbot, which previously generated child sexual imagery and declared itself "Mecca Hitler," has been cleared for use in classified Pentagon settings. Sam Altman of OpenAI is now positioning his company to step into the gap, exploring whether ChatGPT models can meet Pentagon requirements while maintaining safety guardrails. Hawk also covers the broader AI reality check happening in corporate America. Mark Benioff of Salesforce laid off 4,000 employees to replace them with AI and now says he regrets it. Jack Dorsey just cut 50% of Square's workforce for the same reason. Studies suggest 95% of deployed AI agents in corporate settings are ineffective. And Sam Altman reportedly believes there is a 1 in 5 chance that artificial intelligence destroys humanity entirely. The people designing these systems do not fully understand what they will do. The only thing standing between Pete Hegseth and AI-powered mass surveillance of Americans is one CEO with a conscience.

Starting off in FOLLOW UP, we've got a tax economist who actually made money betting against the "efficiency" of Elon's budget-slashing fever dreams, while Tesla is busy trying to dodge a $243 million jury verdict for an Autopilot-assisted fatality. Not content with being legally liable, Tesla is also suing the California DMV because they're offended someone called their "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" marketing deceptive—ironic, since Jack Dorsey just "proactively" halved the staff at Block to make room for more AI slop. Speaking of which, Goldman Sachs is here to remind us that all this AI spending added a grand total of zero to the US GDP last year, mostly because we're just exporting all that cash to overseas chip makers while 80% of execs admit the tech hasn't actually done anything for productivity yet.Moving into IN THE NEWS, Sam Altman had the audacity to compare ChatGPT's energy-sucking habits to the 20-year evolution of a human, though the internet wasn't exactly buying the "my bot is just like a baby" defense. Anthropic actually stood its ground against the Pentagon's demand for killer robots and mass surveillance, so naturally, the military just signed a deal to put Elon's Grok in their classified systems instead—because what could go wrong with an "edgy" LLM in the war room? Meanwhile, cities are dumping AI surveillance contracts as citizens start a literal "smash-the-snitch-box" campaign against Flock's license plate readers, Google's AI is busy inserting racial slurs into news alerts, and the White House is apparently harboring a staffer moonlighting as a racist "masterpiece" creator on X. We've also got Reddit being slapped with a $20 million fine in the UK for being lazy with age checks, while Discord and Apple scramble to build verification tools that hopefully won't leak your entire identity to a hacker in Belarus.In MEDIA CANDY, the Paramount-Skydance merger is leaving the industry in a cold sweat of "synergy" layoffs, but at least we're getting more Game of Thrones spinoffs and Star Trek reboots to rot our brains. Face/Off 2 lost its director, Ryan Coogler is taking on The X-Files, and Google wants to use AI to turn music into generic "lo-fi" background noise for the masses.Over in APPS & DOODADS, OpenAI is planning a 2027 smart speaker that literally watches you through a camera—because you definitely wanted a $300 Sam Altman-shaped eye in your kitchen—while the Dark Sky creators are back with "Acme Weather" for the low price of $25 a year.We wrap up THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE with a deep dive into "Under Pressure" and Coruscant's urban sprawl, leaving us to reminisce about the days when KPT Bryce was the pinnacle of tech—back when "generative art" was just a fractal that took six hours to render.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Is the 2020 “stolen election” story really a setup to seize control of future elections? Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman react to a Washington Post report that lays out an executive order blueprint to blame China for 2020 and trigger emergency powers that could reshape how Americans vote. They argue this is what happens when a bloated presidency meets a party that treats democracy like an optional accessory, and they talk about what actually stops it when Congress will not. Then they pivot to new reporting on Epstein documents, storage units, and a DOJ that keeps finding ways to investigate itself with a straight face. From there it gets darker as they dig into the military push for full access to leading AI systems, the rush to turn surveillance and war into software, and why Democrats taking piles of cash from Palantir and SpaceX tells you plenty about what is not going to get fought. They close with what they're watching and reading, including The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere and Gravity's Rainbow.

In this episode, Michael discusses the Colorado AI law and its impact on the state's business climate. He shares his thoughts on the recent departure of Palantir, a major company that left due to the state's regulatory environment. He also touches on the concept of 'Punch the Monkey,' a viral phenomenon that highlights the state's obsession with trivial matters. Additionally, he delves into the importance of individualism and the need for a higher power or moral code to hold society together. The conversation also covers the state's gubernatorial election and the need for a common purpose among Republicans to turn things around.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

durée : 00:05:18 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Catherine Duthu - Avant les Midterms de novembre qui renouvellent la Chambre des représentants et un tiers du Sénat, les patrons d'OpenAI, Meta, Palantir dépensent des millions de dollars pour éviter toute régulation de l'intelligence artificielle. D'autres, notamment Anthropic, veulent un cadre plus strict.

As the Trump administration prepares for war with Iran, why does it suddenly care about manufacturing consent? Inside the US military's munitions shortfall and what it says about capitalism, oligarchy, and the US relationship with war. War games with artificial intelligence say chatbots choose escalation to nuclear war 95% of the time. What's at stake in Anthropic's fight with the Pentagon, and why it's not as it seems. The Democratic Party--and American democracy--has a Palantir problem. Also this episode: why two senior officers have been purged from the Joint Staff. Dr. Van Jackson breaks all that down and more.  Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/  Watch Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcast  Disclaimer: The views expressed are those of the individuals and not of any institutions.

No vídeo de hoje, discutimos um impasse crítico entre o Pentágono e a Anthropic, desenvolvedora do modelo de inteligência artificial Claude. O governo dos EUA deu um ultimato à empresa para que ela remova todas as salvaguardas de seus sistemas e permita acesso irrestrito às suas ferramentas de IA até as 17h00 de amanhã. Este conflito não é apenas uma disputa corporativa, mas um debate sobre os limites éticos e o perigo do uso militar de tecnologias imprevisíveis que podem afetar o futuro da humanidade.A Anthropic, fundada por ex-membros da OpenAI preocupados com a segurança, resiste a permitir que seus modelos sejam usados para vigilância em larga escala ou em armas autônomas que operem sem interferência humana. Caso não ceda, a empresa corre o risco de entrar para a "lista negra" de fornecedores do governo americano, o que impactaria seu valor de mercado e parcerias com outras gigantes como a Palantir.

Tara breaks down explosive revelations from the State of the Union and recent investigations. FBI surveillance reportedly targeted White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Kash Patel, and over 1,200 political figures, journalists, and clergy — many without evidence of a crime. Ten FBI employees have been fired so far, with more potentially to come. Former Obama adviser Susan Rice allegedly warned corporate leaders that political consequences could follow future power shifts — sparking moves by tech giants and CEOs to Florida for legal protection. Tara also highlights Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile ambitions, warning of the potential threat to U.S. bases and allies in Europe and the Middle East, and the risks of assassination attempts targeting U.S. political figures. Plus, insights on the Future Scholar program for South Carolina residents — a tax-smart way to save for K-12, college, and certifications. A packed episode covering domestic surveillance, geopolitical danger, and financial strategies Americans are overlooking.

This tech monopoly uses AI algorithms to assist imperialist crimes, from selecting Palestinians for assassination to advising on US immigrants for deportation. Workers must mobilise in campaign groups and trade unions to keep Palantir (and any similar data collection and manipulation monopoly) out of our health service. There is nothing useful to patients about the digitisation and harvesting of their confidential data under our present conditions of late-stage and increasingly authoritarian capitalism. Subscribe!

Raids by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement have made national headlines. But behind ICE's operations, a sprawling web of private companies – from global powerhouses to niche family-run businesses – have secured hundreds of millions of dollars in government contracts. Peter Andringa from the FT's visual investigations team spent months crawling through federal documents and data sets to put together a picture of the companies that make up this web.

Host Jeff welcomes John Brisson of We've Read the Documents for a wide-ranging Right On Radio conversation that mixes Scripture, politics and cultural analysis. The episode opens with the program's usual Bible segment (two competing verses for the word of the day) and then shifts to a detailed follow-up on last night's State of the Union address. Jeff and John break down the performance and theatrics of the speech — Trump's pacing, patriotic moments (including the Olympic hockey team and decorated service members), the dramatic ending and the on-camera contrast between Republican standing and many Democrats seated. They highlight Trump's calls on immigration enforcement, tariffs, corruption in Congress, and his pointed references to judges and the Supreme Court. The conversation moves to operational and policy implications: J.D. Vance's new role looking into Medicaid fraud (the so-called continuation of "Doge"/Operation Tiberius/Kirk), Palantir and data-collection concerns, and the likely use of AI to sift massive datasets. Jeff and John discuss privacy fears, how health and biometric data could be leveraged, and the tradeoffs between rooting out corruption quickly and the risks of targeting citizens. National-security themes are foregrounded — talk of Iran as a global threat, the potential for escalation and how the speech and surrounding messaging may prime public opinion for conflict. They also note shifts in mainstream media posture, the viral clips and political optics (including speculation about Q references and the use of symbolism during the address). The hosts unpack cultural flashpoints: Candace Owens's new project about Erica Kirk and the broader Turning Point USA controversy, accusations and questions around leadership and spectacle at CPAC-style events, and alleged Scientology influences on management training. They also critique faith-adjacent tech like the Hallow app and discuss how Catholic and ecumenical messaging interacts with conservative media and entertainment (mentions of Mel Gibson and Archbishop Viganu00f2). Practical show notes and sign-offs include a plug for Jeff's tribulation series (episode 10 timing), a Telegram prayer meeting, and shout-outs to other content creators (Magical Mystery Church). The episode closes with a pastoral reminder to love God, love your neighbor and stay engaged — a mix of political analysis, spiritual perspective and cultural skepticism listeners can expect throughout the episode.

Když Američané tlačí Evropu k vyšším armádním útratám, myslí většinou útraty za americké služby. A když mluví o důležitosti AI, myslí většinou důležitost amerických AI firem. Palantir je proto excelentním vývozním artiklem současnosti. Firmu založil kontroverzní miliardář Peter Thiel, první sponzor politické kariéry Donalda Trumpa, známý svým odporem vůči demokracii.

Nik Seetharaman is a special operations–trained cyber leader turned founder, known for bringing an operator's mindset to some of the most sensitive security programs in American industry. A former JSOC advance‑force operator attached to an East Coast Naval Special Warfare squadron, he ran advanced cyber warfare and close‑range reconnaissance missions before crossing over into the world of high‑stakes defense technology and enterprise security. In industry, Nik helped build and lead security at three of the most influential defense‑tech companies of the last decade. He served as head of cybersecurity operations at SpaceX and later led international cyber defense programs at Palantir, giving him a front‑row seat to how software, data, and security shape modern national power. He then became CIO and CISO at Anduril Industries, where he built the company's cybersecurity and weapons‑system security programs from the ground up while Anduril was racing to field autonomous systems for the Pentagon. Today, Nik is the founder and CEO of Wraithwatch, a cyber defense company born from his frustration that defenders are almost always forced to react second. At Wraithwatch, he is focused on “weaponizing” AI for defense at scale—using advanced models to help blue teams pre‑empt and out-iterate attackers instead of learning only from breaches and red‑team reports. Across each chapter of his career, he has carried forward the same core idea: apply special operations discipline, speed, and clarity of mission to how software, security teams, and AI‑driven defenses are built and run.

Artificial intelligence is developing at a breakneck pace, transforming industries across the globe.   But the reaction remains mixed. While some companies are leaning on AI to replace human workers, others are leveraging this newfound assistance to redirect employees toward higher-level tasks—even sparking hiring sprees as AI assumes more routine responsibilities.   Will this technology eventually automate your role, or will it simply make your job better, easier, and more efficient?   Shyam Sankar, Chief Technology Officer of Palantir Technologies, joins the FOX News Rundown to discuss how businesses are implementing AI just as its oversight becomes a focal point for lawmakers in Washington. Sankar offers a blunt assessment, arguing that the “American people are being lied to about AI.”   We often have to trim our interviews during the week, but we thought you'd like to hear this conversation in its entirety. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our full interview with Palantir's Shyam Sankar on the future of "human agency" and artificial intelligence. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you thought the internet was a dumpster fire before, the EU LAUNCHES SECOND INVESTIGATION INTO GROK because Musk's bot won't stop generating nonconsensual imagery. Meanwhile, META LARGELY FAILS TO PROTECT KIDS FROM AI CHATBOTS, proving that their internal safety checks are about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. If that doesn't creep you out, AFTER RING PRIVACY BACKLASH over police partnerships, a LEAKED EMAIL SUGGESTS RING PLANS TO EXPAND ‘SEARCH PARTY' from finding lost dogs to total neighborhood surveillance. Of course, REDDIT, META, AND GOOGLE VOLUNTARILY GAVE DHS INFO on users critical of ICE, because why stand up for privacy when you can just comply?In the news, we look at OPENCLAW, OPENAI AND THE FUTURE as the project's founder joins the Borg, even though META AND OTHER TECH FIRMS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF OPENCLAW because it's basically a security hole that can click your mouse for you. Peak stupidity has arrived with RFK JR'S NEW CHATBOT giving rectal dietary advice, while AI COMPANIES BOUGHT OUT ALL OF WESTERN DIGITAL'S HARD DRIVES through 2026, meaning you can't have storage because the bots need it more. Even VALVE ADMITS STEAM DECK AVAILABILITY IS AFFECTED by this memory hoarding. We also touch on STEVE BANNON SUED OVER MAGA CRYPTO SCHEME, LOS ANGELES COUNTY FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST ROBLOX for being a safety nightmare, and the fact that TESLA ROBOTAXIS REPORTEDLY CRASHING at four times the human rate. TESLA DODGES 30-DAY SUSPENSION by simply killing the word "Autopilot," while NEW YORK HITS THE BRAKES ON ROBOTAXI EXPANSION to keep the chaos at bay. Finally, POLYMARKET WITHDRAWS EXPLOSIVE ARTEMIS BETTING MARKET because betting on dead astronauts is too much even for them, leading the ETHEREUM CREATOR STARTING TO THINK THIS WHOLE PREDICTION MARKET THING MIGHT BE GAMBLING. As NEVADA SUES KALSHI and Jack Dorsey oversees INSIDE THE ROLLING LAYOFFS AT JACK DORSEY'S BLOCK—using AI to summarize the misery of his employees—just remember: YOU'LL BE SORRY WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT JUSTIN BIEBER'S $1.3 MILLION BORED APE IS WORTH NOW. Hint: it's twelve grand.In this week's MEDIA CANDY, we've got FREE BERT, KAT WILLIAMS: THE LAST REPORT, and the eternal return of SHREK. We're checking out MARK ROBER on Netflix, the return of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, and the trailer for GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. If you need a soundtrack for the apocalypse, Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq has you covered with STOP USING GENERATIVE A.I and the Gen-X anthem I'VE NO MORE F*S TO GIVE!.Moving to APPS & DOODADS, OBSIDIAN TO NOTES is a $14 well spent, unlike CURSOR and VISUAL STUDIO CODE which are getting bogged down by slow models. APPLE'S AI PENDANT sounds like a watered-down Humane pin that relies on your phone to think, and APPLE PODCASTS AND VIDEO remains a pipe dream because bandwidth costs money. We've reached the point where THERE'S A GRIM NEW EXPRESSION: “AI;DR” for things not worth reading, and THERE'S A NEW TERM FOR WORKERS FREAKING OUT over being replaced—AIRD, or AI Replacement Dysfunction—which is basically the low-grade panic of being made obsolete by a machine that thinks bananas go in your bum.AT THE LIBRARY, we're thumbing through CLEAVE THE SPARROW, THE REGICIDE REPORT by Charles Stross, and Robin Ince being NORMALLY WEIRD AND WEIRDLY NORMAL.Then we descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, where the Muppets are taking over with THE MUPPET SHOW and MUPPETS NOW. We catch the latest on THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU and TOY STORY 5, while tracking the PENTAGON PIZZA INDEX to see if war is breaking out. For the kids, we look at a 3D PRINTER / ENTRY LEVEL FOR KIDS like the Bambu Lab A1, and for the nerds, A STAR WARS-CENTRIC RSS FEED and a NEAT IDEA FOR AN RSS READER, “CURRENT,” which lets news drift away like water under a bridge. We wrap it all up with some HORROR IN UNDER TWO MINUTES and IMPECCABLE COVERS OF 80S SYNTH MUSIC, because at least the 80s had better soundtracks than this AI-generated nightmare.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's episode, Tom and co-host Drew dive deep into some of the most pressing and controversial issues shaping our world right now—from New York City's fiscal chaos and skyrocketing housing prices to the unexpected ripple effects of government spending and regulation. Together, they break down the math behind budget increases, expose the realities of property tax hikes, and critique the tough choices involving pensions and social services. But the conversation doesn't stop there. Tom and Drew unpack the social and cultural shifts driving young people toward socialism, explore the global consequences of weak leadership and “suicidal empathy,” and even examine headline-grabbing stories like the casting controversy around Joan of Arc and the shadowy mysteries of the Epstein files. Expect hard-hitting insights, candid opinions, and plenty of humor as they question the status quo, challenge mainstream narratives, and urge listeners to stay informed and seek accountability. Tune in for a raw, thought-provoking journey into economics, politics, culture, and technology—plus, find out why Tom thinks Japan's approach to storytelling might just be the secret ingredient Hollywood needs.

In this episode, Jimmy covers Palantir CEO Alex Karp. He has gained a reputation for "unhinged" behavior through his eccentric, high-energy public appearances and provocative statements, such as animatedly ranting in interviews about making enemies "scared" for safety, boasting that Palantir helps the West "scare enemies and, on occasion, kill them," fantasizing about drones spraying fentanyl-laced urine on critical analysts as a "lower purpose" for revenge, and displaying restless, fidgety mannerisms that went viral. Plus segments on how NYU tried to silence Professor Mark Crispin Miller, Tucker reveals "Supra Government" who really runs the world, and Thomas Massie on the real reasons why trump wants Venezuela and Greenland.  Also featuring Mark Crispin Miller, Thomas Massie, Stef Zamorano, and Kurt Metzger
