There was some real Machiavellian moves in the AKLEG House on Friday. The majority pulled a fast one and the minority is left flat footed (surprise!). How many times do we have to get fooled before we wise up? We will discuss today a length.
Suspecting that he's been affected by his recent battles with the Atom Man and his exposure to Mr. Jones's Cyclotron, Superman fears that he's the mysterious bank robber that's been robbing banks around Metropolis. Working with Batman and Robin to catch the robber in the act, the team splits up to cover more ground.

Lianyu Tan joins us for another foray into literature that started life as Xena AU fanfiction (or Xena Uber, in the parlance of the time.) This one starts out as a pirate romp featuring the world's brattiest sub/voluntary slave girl and ends up in some really dark places.

Send us a textWhat happens when AI becomes us? I'm sitting down with Evan Ratliff, the genius behind the Shell Game podcast. Now, this project is next-level. Evan created an AI version of himself, connected it to ChatGPT, and let it loose on the world – talking to telemarketers, friends, even his family. And let me tell you, what happens next is fascinating, strange, and at times, kind of unsettling.He joins me in this episode to share some serious territory, talking about the ethical side of AI, the limits of what it can do, and the crazy way it might disrupt everything – from jobs to relationships. Evan's got some reservations about going full throttle with AI, and I get it. It's a big conversation, but one that we've gotta have. So if you're curious about where this technology is headed and how it's already shaping our lives, this episode's for you. Don't miss it.Learn more about the Shell Game here.
On this edition of Parallax Views, Matthew Petti, an assistant editor at Reason magazine whose beat is national security issues, returns to the program to discuss his recent articles "Bipartisan war hawks go after Trump defense pick Elbridge Colby", "Is Trump borrowing Biden's ‘bear hug' approach to Israel?", and "Who is the Palestinian Columbia student detained for his protest activity?". We'll also discuss the situation in Syria, specifically the uprising and massacre of Alawite civilians in the past week. In regards to Syria, we'll dissect the information war shell game that's currently taking place and how various actors including Israel, Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the Arab Gulf States are all pushing certain narratives in relation to Syria's transitional government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly Abu Mohammad al-Julani). In the first portion of our conversation, we look at the confirmation hearing of Elbridge Colby, who has been nominated by President Donald Trump to be his Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. Although Colby belongs to the world of defense intellectuals and is not a dove by any stretch, some of his views have a pro-restraint bent that have come under fire from both Republicans and Democrats. Republican Senator Tom Cotton, in particular, appears to take issue with Colby, specifically Colby's views on the Middle East (Colby wants to wind down U.S. involvement in the region), and is alleged by a number of Trump allies to have been behind a recent whisper campaign against Colby. We'll examine the realist camp of figures who have been given positions within the Trump administration thus far and JD Vance and Marco Rubio's allusions to realist foreign policy views since Trump's election. We'll also discuss how the other side of the coin when it comes to this embrace of realism by elements of the Trump administration and MAGA. Namely, the increasing talk of consolidating U.S. power in its geographic sphere of influence (ie: all the talk of making Canada the "51st State"). Petti will also go over Colby's hawkish views on China, specifically in relation to Taiwan, and how his views have changed over the years. In the latter portion of the conversation, we'll discuss Petti's notion that Trump's may well be employing the "bear hug" strategy with Israel that many claimed Biden was using during his administration in light of the Gaza War. Petti makes the case that Biden did not actually apply the bear hug strategy, but that Trump may actually be using it. On one hand, Trump is frequently proclaiming his pro-Israel credentials for domestic consumption (ie: the targeting of Gaza protesters as "pro-Hamas" sympathizer or illegal "agitators"; saying he completely wants to eradicate Hamas). On the other hand, the Trump administration just held secretive talks with Hamas that were brought ot the public by Axios journalist Barak Ravid. Ravid, who has many sources within the Israeli national security state, broke the news and it seems reasonably to say Israeli security sources wanted the story to come out even if Trump didn't want that to happen. What are the implications of this? We'll delve into that in-depth. Afterwards we will turn our attention to detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, a lead negotiator for pro-Palestinian protest camp at Columbia University. The detainment has garnered massive media attention with Khalil currently being held at an ICE detainment center. Turns out Khalil is not in the U.S. on a student visa. He has a green card. Although the Department of Homeland Security argues that Khalil's " activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization" he has not been charged with a crime and is a permanent legal resident of the U.S. The case is likely to raise a lot of debate about what constitutes support for a terrorist organization, specifically what constitutes material support and where the lines between 1st amendment rights and said support are drawn. All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views!
In a news cycle that keeps on churning, Main Justice hosts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord wade through the nonstop dispatches to set some focal points for this episode. They begin with the hearing held by Judge Dale Ho last week over the Eric Adams dismissal and the Judge's appointment of Paul Clement as amicus, a.k.a. a friend of the court. Andrew details the important decisions Judge Ho has before him as Mary drives home why this case will reverberate beyond the embattled New York Mayor. Then, they touch on the latest resignation- this one, from Denise Cheung, the chief of the criminal division in the DC US Attorney's office, after being asked to do something by the administration she believed was unsupportable. And last up, Andrew and Mary look at the Supreme Court denial of a stay in the case involving Trump's firing of Hampton Dellinger, and the disconnect between DOJ representations about Elon Musk's role in court versus what Musk is saying and doing in practice.Further reading: Here is Andrew's piece on Just Security: Why the Rule of Law Depends on an Evidentiary Hearing in Mayor Eric Adams' Case.And HERE is the letter of resignation from the head of the criminal division in the U.S. attorney's office in D.C.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Artificial Intelligence now permeates our daily lives. What conversations are we not having about AI? And how can creative projects help open these discussions about what is really at stake? In this episode of Emerging Form, journalist Evan Ratliff shares with us how he cloned his voice, connected it to a chat bot, and created a voice agent that took calls and made calls–both to strangers and friends–all in a voice that sounded as if it were him. He shares the project, his questions, his concerns, his discoveries on a new podcast, Shell Game. We speak with him about the genesis of the show, how having no prescriptive ideas on the outset can benefit creative practice, how financing your own creative project offers more creative freedom, and why it was so important in a program about AI to have all the content created by humansEvan Ratliff is an award-winning investigative journalist, bestselling author, podcast host, and entrepreneur. He's the author of the The Mastermind: A True Story of Murder, Empire, and a New Kind of Crime Lord; the writer and host of the hit podcasts Shell Game and Persona: The French Deception; and the cofounder of The Atavist Magazine, Pop-Up Magazine, and the Longform Podcast.Links:Shell GameEvan interviewing Christie on the Longform Podcast This is a public episode.

Named after its founder, The Keshe Foundation speaks of something called “Plasma”, which has absolutely nothing to do with any definition of the word you've ever heard previously. There's also something called GANS, which is entirely new state of matter which has been named using a heretofore unprecedented method for writing an acronym. So what do “Plasma” and GANS do? Well, they cost money. But apparently they cure Coronavirus? So that's nice. This week, everyone in The F Plus needs a way to distinguish their cummycups.

#Podcast #Politics #Progressive #Democrats #ProgressivePodcast #News #Michigan #MichiganNews #MichiganPolitics #MAGA #Eggs #Economy #Republicans #LeftOfLansing Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for January 10, 2025. The Michigan MAGA Propaganda Machine was in full anger overdrive over a new law requiring eggs sold in Michigan to come from hens raised in cage-free housing. Michigan MAGA tried to blame big government state Democrats for the law. However, if someone just did a little reading, the law was scrambled-together by, and sponsored by, a Republican state Senator, who's also a farmer! The worst part, though, is that Michigan MAGA tried to blame this brand new law for rising egg prices in the state when it's the spread of avian flu that's to blame. Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Eggs Hitting $6 A Dozen ...

Here in the United States, the waves of UFO drones continue with the FBI having just launched its investigation into cases over New Jersey while the House of Representatives hosted a classified briefing with the Pentagon's UFO Office. Timing is everything and immediately after the meeting about errant flying objects, there were several seen over the nation's Capitol and Langley Air Field. The silence from the military about the recent incursion speaks volumes. Within the conspiracy realm, could it be that the drones of the present are the black helicopters of the past?

A recent study by the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association outlines trends in the relative contributions made by states, the federal government, and students to the cost of higher education. The study also makes several policy recommendations that might ease the burden on students. That sounds promising, except that the recommendations all involve increasing state and federal allocations. Since funds for these allocations come from tax dollars, the real recommendations involve robbing Peter to pay Paul. In this episode I'll take a look at the smoke and mirrors involved in determining the allocation of costs. I'll then go way off the rails and suggest how a rational budget process for the higher education sector could enable it to become sustainable and integrated into the fabric of the American economy.

Greg discusses the claim that abortion bans increase infant death rates, then he talks to callers about using probability numbers in teleological arguments and whether it's worth trying to convince a church member who's a former Jehovah's Witness that Jesus is uncreated. Topics: Commentary: Spot the shell game in this article on abortion bans. (00:00) When it comes to the teleological argument, are apologists conceding it's possible it could have happened on its own when they give a small probability number? (26:00) Is it worth trying to convince a former Jehovah's Witness in my church that Jesus is uncreated when he says he's simply reading the Bible “as it is” and that arguments about language and context just complicate things?

What if you let artificial intelligence invade your life — on purpose? And then set versions of yourself loose to prank-call everyone from telemarketers to soccer fans to your wife? For his new podcast, Shell Game, journalist Evan Ratliff did exactly that. And it turns out, sneaky transformation into a stammering half-robot isn't the end of the world so much as a sneak preview of our fake new world. Could a voice clone make Pablo's life easier, too? Only A.I. Pablo (and Cocaine Evan) can tell. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

One man secretly hands off more and more of his life to an AI voice clone.Today, we feature veteran journalist Evan Ratliff who - for his new podcast Shell Game - decided to slowly replace himself bit by bit with an AI voice clone, to see how far he could actually take it. Could it do the mundane phone calls he'd prefer to skip? Could it get legal advice for him? Could it go to therapy for him? Could it parent his kids? Evan feeds his bot the most intimate details about his life, and lets the bot loose in high-stakes situations at home and at work. Which bizarro version of him will show up? The desperately-agreeable conversationalist, the crank-yanking prank caller, the glitched out stranger who sounds like he's in the middle of a mental breakdown, or someone else entirely? Will people believe it's really him? And how will they act if they don't? A gonzo journalistic experiment for the age of AI, that's funny and eerie all at the same time.We have some exciting news!

Today on show, a two-part conversation with Evan Ratliff, cofounder of The Atavist Magazine and now host of the Shell Game podcast about how he created an AI version of his voice, hooked it up to a chatbot, and allowed it to speak on his behalf to friends, family, and even telemarketers. Well, especially telemarketers. Also on the show, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined forces with Donald Trump, though, as is typical with RFK Jr's actions, it's hard to tell how or why.

Generative artificial intelligence has made it possible to mimic someone’s voice and generate a script for that voice in real time. The tech, of course, is already used to scam and defraud people, but what if you just had it make a bunch of calls on your behalf? That’s what journalist Evan Ratliff did for his new podcast, “Shell Game.” He trained AI audio clones, gave them phone numbers and sat back as they took on customer service agents, family members, therapists and even a few scammers. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Ratliff — and briefly with one of his AI agents — about his takeaways from producing the show and whether the clones succeeded in tricking people into thinking they were who they said they were.

This is the story of what happens when Evan Ratliff, co-host of the Longform podcast and a longtime tech journalist, makes a digital copy of himself, powered by AI, in order to understand how amazing and scary and utterly ridiculous the world is about to get. In Episode 1, Evan clones his voice, hooks it up to ChatGPT and his phone line, and sends it off to tangle with customer service representatives. New episodes drop on Tuesdays.
