One thing you should know about the iPhone launch is that there's... not usually a lot of other tech news around the iPhone launch. So David and Jake start this episode with some more information about the iPhone launch, including some controversial details we missed about the AirPods Pro 3 and the argument in favor of the crossbody strap. After that, with David back on the mic, it's time for a round of AI-focused hot takes with The Verge's Hayden Field. The gang talks ChatGPT, Claude, money, more money, and what counts as a real friend. (And money.) Finally, in the lightning round — yes, once again the LIGHTNING ROUND — the three co-hosts talk about Canon's confusing new camera, the future of Reddit, Claude's spreadsheet-y future, and much more.

00:01:09 – Nepal's Gen Z Revolution Nepal erupts after a government ban on 26 social media platforms. Gen Z leads protests against censorship and corruption, storming parliament and burning the building. 00:03:33 – Ministry of Information Tyranny The Marxist-led Ministry of Information ordered the bans, sparking a nationwide uprising. Police killed 22 protesters and wounded 300, but the prime minister and home minister were forced to resign. 00:07:20 – Internet Revolt vs. Color Revolution Unlike CIA-backed “color revolutions,” Nepal's revolt is leaderless and grassroots. Protesters used TikTok and Reddit to bypass internet blackouts, proving decentralized resistance can work. 00:12:47 – Martial Law Conditioning Commentary ties Trump's crime crackdowns to martial law conditioning. Troop deployments in U.S. cities are framed as “emergencies” to normalize military presence in civilian life. 00:19:11 – UK Frees London Bomber A UK judge frees 7/7 London bombing mastermind Rashid Aswat while mothers are jailed for social media posts. Critics call it proof Britain abandoned real justice. 00:24:22 – Gold Surges, Dollar Crashes Gold soars nearly 40% YTD, hitting $3,700. Analysts warn Trump's chaotic tariffs, Fed intimidation, and abolition of cash will drive gold even higher as the dollar collapses. 01:20:15 – Tim Kaine Denies God-Given Rights Sen. Tim Kaine claims rights come from government, not God. Trump seizes the moment to pose as a faith defender, despite his Epstein baggage. 01:23:19 – Government Is the Rights Violator Commentary stresses that government is the greatest destroyer of rights, not their source—highlighting the hypocrisy of politicians who swear oaths but ignore them. 01:28:29 – Democrat Faith “Rebrand” Texas Democrat James Talarico, a former seminarian, is pushed as a faith-based alternative to Republicans, but critics say it's Christian grifting to sanitize a party of “gender gaslighting” and radicalism. 01:30:53 – Nick Fuentes as False Prophet Nick Fuentes is blasted as a corrosive influencer who preys on disaffected young men, offering resentment and trolling instead of Christ-centered purpose. 02:22:33 – Leftist Reality as Mental Disorder Dr. Richard Craydon argues the left lives in a “separate reality” of moral relativism, fueling cultural conflict. 02:27:41 – Gen Z Depression Crisis Nearly half of Gen Z reports depression, blamed on tech addiction, loss of faith, and cultural nihilism. 02:45:52 – Medical Profession's COVID Betrayal Ventilator abuse, censorship of natural immunity, and mRNA mandates are condemned as medical corruption serving the state.

Send us a textThis week on The Less Stressed Life, JM DeBord joins me to talk about decoding dreams, what they really mean, why they matter, and how they can guide us toward more awareness in our waking life. We dig into why violent or embarrassing dreams are not what they seem, why exes keep showing up, what it means when you smell things in dreams, and how dream journaling can be the “eighth habit” of highly effective people.If you have ever woken up from a dream wondering “what the heck was that,” this conversation will help you understand the patterns, symbols, and stories your night brain is trying to tell you.KEY TAKEAWAYSDreams are stories told in symbols, not literal predictionsViolent dreams often point to boundaries or inner conflict, not hidden violenceEx dreams usually highlight patterns or feelings in current relationshipsSmells in dreams can reinforce the message of the story such as flowers, sewage, or foodJournaling dreams improves recall and helps you recognize repeating themesABOUT GUEST: JM DeBord, known online as “RadOwl,” is the author of several books on dreams, including the bestselling Dream Interpretation Dictionary. As moderator of Reddit's r/Dreams forum, he has helped thousands make sense of their dream life with a blend of Jungian psychology and practical insight.

In today's episode of Reddit Podcast, a wild Karen completely loses it. You won't believe how this one ends! Sit back, relax, and enjoy this binge-worthy Reddit podcast, featuring Karen freakouts, entitled people stories, and pro revenge tales.
Oracle Corporation has made headlines with its ambitious revenue projections, forecasting a dramatic increase in its cloud server rental business from $10 billion in fiscal 2025 to $144 billion by fiscal 2030. This growth is attributed to a significant rise in new contracts and a 359% boost in business backlog, largely driven by partnerships with major AI firms. Despite the excitement surrounding these projections, analysts express caution, noting that a decline in enterprise AI adoption could jeopardize Oracle's plans. Recent data indicates that 95% of companies using AI have not seen new revenue, raising questions about the sustainability of Oracle's aggressive investment strategy.The latest statistics reveal a concerning trend in AI adoption among large companies, which has dropped from nearly 14% to under 12% in just a few months. This decline is particularly alarming for investors who have heavily invested in AI technologies, expecting them to revolutionize business operations. As companies reassess their reliance on AI, many are beginning to rehire human workers, acknowledging that the technology has not met earlier expectations. Gartner predicts that while AI will play a significant role in IT departments by 2030, the current reality shows that a substantial percentage of CIOs are not seeing a return on their AI investments.In response to the evolving landscape, a new licensing standard called Really Simple Licensing (RSL) has emerged, aimed at empowering web publishers to set terms for how AI developers can use their content. Supported by major brands like Reddit and Yahoo, this initiative seeks to create a fair compensation model for content creators amidst ongoing legal disputes over AI data scraping. The RSL standard allows site owners to charge fees for AI bots crawling their sites, potentially providing smaller publishers with a mechanism to assert the value of their work.Meanwhile, Microsoft is taking steps to diversify its AI offerings by partnering with Anthropic to enhance its Office 365 applications, reducing its reliance on OpenAI. This move comes as Microsoft bundles its sales, service, and finance copilots into a single offering at a lower price, making AI tools more accessible to users. Additionally, the launch of MSPcentric aims to address the challenges of professional services automation integrations within the IT channel, highlighting the ongoing need for efficiency in the industry. As these developments unfold, the focus remains on how AI can deliver tangible benefits to businesses and the workforce. Four things to know today 00:00 Oracle bets $35B on AI future, projecting $144B cloud growth despite slowing adoption signals03:39 AI adoption stalls as ROI disappoints, but workforce shifts show upskilling is key06:41 From content licensing to trillion-parameter models: RSL, Microsoft's Anthropic pivot, and global AI competition reshape the field11:27 Microsoft Bundles Copilots, Colin Knox Launches MSPCentric: Two Moves Aiming to Simplify Tech for MSPs This is the Business of Tech.

00:01:09 – Nepal's Gen Z Revolution Nepal erupts after a government ban on 26 social media platforms. Gen Z leads protests against censorship and corruption, storming parliament and burning the building. 00:03:33 – Ministry of Information Tyranny The Marxist-led Ministry of Information ordered the bans, sparking a nationwide uprising. Police killed 22 protesters and wounded 300, but the prime minister and home minister were forced to resign. 00:07:20 – Internet Revolt vs. Color Revolution Unlike CIA-backed “color revolutions,” Nepal's revolt is leaderless and grassroots. Protesters used TikTok and Reddit to bypass internet blackouts, proving decentralized resistance can work. 00:12:47 – Martial Law Conditioning Commentary ties Trump's crime crackdowns to martial law conditioning. Troop deployments in U.S. cities are framed as “emergencies” to normalize military presence in civilian life. 00:19:11 – UK Frees London Bomber A UK judge frees 7/7 London bombing mastermind Rashid Aswat while mothers are jailed for social media posts. Critics call it proof Britain abandoned real justice. 00:24:22 – Gold Surges, Dollar Crashes Gold soars nearly 40% YTD, hitting $3,700. Analysts warn Trump's chaotic tariffs, Fed intimidation, and abolition of cash will drive gold even higher as the dollar collapses. 01:20:15 – Tim Kaine Denies God-Given Rights Sen. Tim Kaine claims rights come from government, not God. Trump seizes the moment to pose as a faith defender, despite his Epstein baggage. 01:23:19 – Government Is the Rights Violator Commentary stresses that government is the greatest destroyer of rights, not their source—highlighting the hypocrisy of politicians who swear oaths but ignore them. 01:28:29 – Democrat Faith “Rebrand” Texas Democrat James Talarico, a former seminarian, is pushed as a faith-based alternative to Republicans, but critics say it's Christian grifting to sanitize a party of “gender gaslighting” and radicalism. 01:30:53 – Nick Fuentes as False Prophet Nick Fuentes is blasted as a corrosive influencer who preys on disaffected young men, offering resentment and trolling instead of Christ-centered purpose. 02:22:33 – Leftist Reality as Mental Disorder Dr. Richard Craydon argues the left lives in a “separate reality” of moral relativism, fueling cultural conflict. 02:27:41 – Gen Z Depression Crisis Nearly half of Gen Z reports depression, blamed on tech addiction, loss of faith, and cultural nihilism. 02:45:52 – Medical Profession's COVID Betrayal Ventilator abuse, censorship of natural immunity, and mRNA mandates are condemned as medical corruption serving the state.

Hey everyone! Crime Con wiped us out and kept me from getting an episode out this week. Please enjoy this revisiting of Surprise Justice. New episode next week! Who's ready for a petty surprise? This week on Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, the crew is back with more dumb criminal stories, bizarre dilemmas, and a round of Would You Rather that gets hilariously out of control. Trevin kicks things off with a dilemma inspired by too much Succession. After binge-watching the hit HBO series, every casual conversation suddenly feels like a high-stakes corporate power play. Is everyone plotting to betray him, or is this just a side effect of prestige TV obsession? Meanwhile, Amanda faces a dilemma of her own: she receives a sweet and thoughtful text from her husband… only to later discover he sent it because he thought he might actually die at work. Romantic or terrifying? You decide. For Would You Rather, Amanda pulls from Mirror.co.uk's “10 Absolutely Diabolical Would You Rathers That Will Haunt You For Days.” Would you rather get caught watching porn in the office or accidentally send a rude email about your boss… to your boss? Trevin, on the other hand, dives deep into Reddit with a question guaranteed to ruin your mental images of the human body: would you rather have a horizontal buttcrack or a vertical mouth? Get ready for absurd logistics about stairs, redesigned toilets, and how a vertical jaw would even function. Then it's on to storytime, where petty crimes and surprise justice take center stage: The Danger in Our Surroundings – Amanda tells the story of 21-year-old Stephen Daniel of Snellville, Georgia, who was hanging around a QuikTrip gas station looking for a ride. Unfortunately for him, Officer B.W. Brown might be the only one to “offer” any kind of transportation. Haters on the Road to Glory – Trevin covers Jessica Curs, a 4th-grade girls' basketball coach in Burleson, Texas. Her undefeated season was threatened when heckler Gary Melson disrupted her championship game. But when police show up, nobody is a winner. From gas station arrests to police-backed game-day surprises, this episode is full of petty criminals, strange justice, and plenty of laughs.

The influencer economy is turning childhood into content for creeps. Extremely Online author Taylor Lorenz unveils the predatory nature of this industry.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1206What We Discuss with Taylor Lorenz:Child influencer accounts often have 75-90% male followings, with men using timestamps to find sexualized moments and coordinating in Telegram groups to trade imagery of minors.Many parents knowingly tolerate creepy audiences because the money is substantial — some families make millions annually from brand deals and ad revenue featuring their children.Kids lose the ability to explore identity privately when everything is documented. They can't have a "goth phase" or evolve naturally without online pressure to maintain their brand.Platforms profit from engagement regardless of source, brands buy demographics without questioning why men follow little girls, and algorithms reward content that attracts predators.Don't ban kids from internet entirely — teach them about online risks, allow supervised access, create private accounts for learning, and prioritize giving children the luxury of privacy.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
