In this episode we broaden our search for Satan in Science Fiction. In the previous episodes in this series, we looked for him in the Christ Myth. Tales of a chosen one, a demi god, not exactly god but more than human with supernatural powers. Now it's time to find the devil in his own science fiction stories.

Get a great deal on home solar (or add a quality battery to your existing setup): https://autoexpert.com.au/solarSave thousands on any new car (Australia-only): https://autoexpert.com.au/contactIn this video, I visited Risen's factory in China, and saw truly cutting-edge manufacturing technology on a scale you will not see in Australia. Risen is one of the world's leading manufacturers of solar panels. It has roughly 15,000 employees, of which more than 1000 professional propellerheads work in R&D.The company holds over 740 proprietary patents. You can't miss them, because you have to drive past them to visit the production line……which you can't walk onto without wearing the full anti-static frock. And then, they blow you. With air. To make sure you don't bring in any dust. It's basically the full ‘Skynet' freak show of cutting-edge robotic automation. Crystalline wafers that are less than four thousandths of an inch thick get scurried about by robots, and subjected to dozens of tightly controlled doping and layering processes in a surgically clean science-fiction set.It's a decent 400- or 500-metre stroll from one end of the cell production line to the other. Endless processes with built-in testing take place. There are, of course, multiple lines in parallel.I had one impression in my head of manufacturing in China, and this, frankly, was not it. The minders who took us through were the full brainiac - they spoke binary. I struggled to keep up.I've been to car factories and R&D centres in Japan, Europe and South Korea. Risen's factory is right up there. If I hadn't been wearing a surgical mask, my jaw would have been on the floor.There are people at Risen, and all they do is think about heterogeneous junctions, zero busbar technology, optimising metallic paste, and advanced interconnection systems. It's closer to rocket science than you think, and more reliable than SpaceX.This is properly advanced technology, and they develop it in-house.
This episode we induct BOTH The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day into the 5 Bucket Club! But – if the computers send back the Terminator to kill Sarah Connor, isn't that just making her aware that she needs to save the world? Today is the day that Skynet learns irony… #terminator #t2judgmentday #t2 #terminator2 #arnoldschwarzenegger #jamescameron #lindahamilton

In this episode, I'm joined by Marissa Hummon, whose team partnered with NVIDIA to tuck a credit-card-sized GPU computer with AI software into the humble electricity meter. We discuss how that edge computing digests 32,000 waveform samples per second, spots failing transformers, and orchestrates VPPs — plus the guardrails that keep it from becoming Skynet.

Utilizing the advanced capabilities of the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASCAP), researchers reveal the unique characteristics of these galaxies, including their powerful jets and lobes traveling at superluminal speeds. We delve into the implications of these findings for our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.Changes on TitanNext, we discuss the intriguing changes occurring on Saturn's moon Titan, which is experiencing rapid orbital changes on geological timescales. Scientists explore the factors influencing Titan's tidal dissipation rate and what it reveals about the moon's internal structure and history. This study provides insights into the dynamic processes at play in our solar system's moons.Failed Soviet Spacecraft ReturnsWe also cover the dramatic re-entry of the Kosmos 482, a failed Soviet spacecraft that spent 53 years in orbit before crashing back to Earth. Launched in 1972 on a mission to Venus, the spacecraft's uncontrolled descent raises concerns about space debris and its potential impact on Earth.AI and Humanity's FutureFinally, we tackle the controversial topic of artificial intelligence and its potential risks to humanity. With AI evolving at an unprecedented pace, we examine the findings of a new study that assesses the likelihood of AI leading to human extinction. As science fiction warns of a future dominated by AI, we explore the reality of these threats and what they mean for our future.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesScience Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvJournal of the American Medical Associationhttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is space time series 28, episode 57 for broadcast on 12 May 202500:54 Astronomers have discovered 15 giant radio galaxies each hosting a supermassive black hole09:35 You're still learning about these galaxies11:57 Now you, uh, mentioned starburst galaxies earlier.

AI is jumping from one hype cycle to another. First, it was simple AI, then came Generative AI, and currently, we are reeling from Agentic AI. The new term is already lurking—Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Actually, AGI is pretty old, dating back to the early 2000s. What is it, and why is it gathering attention now? I talk to the person who came up with the very term--Peter Voss, CEO & Chief Scientist at Aigo.ai. We delve into how AGI mimics human learning functions, how it differs from Gen AI, why it is cost- and power-efficient by orders of magnitude, whether today's Gen AI can evolve into AGI, and more. We also discuss whether AGI's human-like learning can create cyborgs and Skynet.
We defeated Skynet this week but some people didn't make it. Outlet closures, a new game takes the crown, Star Wars things, podcast rants and other things. We live!
Opening Address at the Spring 2025 Freelance Forum on 14 April Karlin Lillington on "Skynet for Journalism? Dealing with Artificial intelligence"
Breaks and outro changed to avoid copyright things. Podcast will be "rebooting" in 163, as an insane AI is purging our episodes of this show because the world is crazy. Switch 2 discussion, and a ton of randomness. Same podcast as the original 162, except for the breaks and outro. No more Devil Trigger, as we got flagged by Skynet and purged from their system. RIP.
La inteligencia artificial ha dejado de ser esa promesa del futuro que solo salía en presentaciones de marketing y películas malas. Hoy está en tus presupuestos, en tus correos, en tus entregables y, si te descuidas, hasta en tu firma de correo. En este episodio de BIMrras, nos metemos hasta el fondo en cómo la IA está redefiniendo lo que significa ser un profesional en el sector AEC. Nos preguntamos, sin anestesia, si estamos ante una herramienta más, una amenaza velada o el principio del fin de esa época dorada en la que podías improvisar todo el día y luego decir que estabas “resolviendo sobre la marcha”. Spoiler: la IA no improvisa. Y eso, amigos, tiene consecuencias. Nos acompañan los sospechosos habituales —Evelio, Rafa y Rogelio— en modo análisis brutal y con un objetivo claro: separar el hype del trabajo serio, el miedo de la pereza, y las oportunidades reales de las películas de Schwarzenegger.

In this episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast, hosts Joel Cheesman, Chad Sowash, and J.T. O'Donnell serve up a spicy mix of summer vibes, NFL draft hot takes, and enough industry tea to fill a Chipotle burrito bowl. They're hyped about the Pro Voice Talent Agency launch, a slick new gig for white-collar pros, and cackle over Chipotle's bold leap into Mexico—because nothing screams “¡Olé!” like guac south of the border. But hold the salsa, because the real drama unfolds with Indeed and ZipRecruiter's legal cage match, proving job boards are scrappier than a reality TV reunion. The hosts dive into Recruit Holdings snatching up ZipRecruiter like it's the last taco at a buffet, hinting at a job board consolidation that's juicier than office gossip. Big Tech's antitrust troubles get a roasting—turns out, the government's got more shade to throw than a TikTok troll. Layoffs are hitting harder than a Monday morning hangover, with entry-level jobs for grads vanishing faster than free pizza at a college fair. The trio stresses that communication skills are the new black for jobless newbies. Things get wilder as they unpack the creator economy's rise, where TikTok dancers and YouTube ranters are the new CEOs. AI's flipping the job market like a pancake, but the hosts aren't laughing about the military's AI weapons race—yep, Skynet vibes are real, and they're begging for some adult supervision. With snark, wit, and a side of “what the heck is happening,” this episode is a masterclass in navigating the chaotic world of work. Grab your earbuds and tune-in.

Send us a textThis week, we dive deep into the land of make-believe — or as the government calls it: science and progress. NASA apparently left a rocket ship chilling in the Everglades like it's an abandoned sofa. No mission, no explanation, just vibes.Then we look into the OpenAI whistleblower who definitely didn't suicide himself with two shots to the head. Totally normal. Nothing to see here. Just "AI safety."Mr. Wang allegedly took a SpaceX trip to “view the poles,” while Katy Perry hitched a ride with Blue Origin — but somehow, that still counted as going to the “edge of space.” There's no footage, no launch, and nobody remembers seeing either of them go up — so naturally, it's 100% real.Speed (yes, that Speed) went to China to tour cities built with tech the U.S. paid for. Meanwhile, Mexico had a guy in the '70s building pyramids based on alien instructions — but hey, he was probably just “crazy,” right?We cover the latest UAP sightings, Google Gemini's new mind-reading glasses, and chemtrails proudly sprayed across our skies like it's cologne for the atmosphere. No longer a conspiracy — it's a vibe.And in this week's segment of “What TikTok Allows,” it turns out violence against men is totally fine... but say something about a woman? Banned.Also:Xi Jinping's daughter is living that all-American Ivy League life at Harvard (plot twist),The government can manipulate time and space now (no big deal),There's a human-robot marathon happening (Skynet is warming up),And a PSA: if you're talking loud on your phone while paying and making everyone wait — you're the villain.

Skynet AI 2029: James Cameron's The Terminator If you grew up in the 1980s, you were living in a decade that would be controlled by raunchy teen sex comedies (Porky's, My Tutor, Private Lessons), John Hughes (The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off), and the emergence of straight to video. However there was one genre that stood above all others and would forever alter the output of Hollywood. Action films had always been a part of Hollywood, however the 1980s would unleash the talents of Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis, as well as lesser box office talents such as Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Damme, and the continuing presence of 70s holdover, Chuck Norris. One name would stand above all others, however. Inhabiting the title role of the 1984 B-Movie, Low-Budget Classic, The Terminator, Director James Cameron would establish Austrian-born, seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger, as - possibly - the greatest Action-Star to ever grace the Big Screen. The Terminator would change cinema and introduce both actor and director as formidable and genre defining talents. This week Mr. Chavez & I dive into the world of Artificial Intelligence and discuss one of the greatest Science Fiction films ever made. What are the lessons we should have learned from Cameron's film? What did we miss? How far away are we from Skynet becoming self-aware? There's a whole lot to unpack and we're diving right into all of it. This was an exciting and wonderfully joyous trip back to the 80s and a film that greatly defined both our youths, the decade, and the evolving world of Cinema.

Britt Gillette discusses his work researching globalism and global empire in light of biblical prophecy. Cracks in the American Empire are beginning to emerge as its military might is waning and its dollar world reserve status is in danger. The tech revolution (e.g. AI, drone warfare) is making legacy systems obsolete and Britt fears that whoever achieves first-mover advantage will take over the entire planet. Molecular manufacturing will bring Skynet online, so to speak. He comments on the digital gulag, the mark of the beast, global depression, transhumanism which he believes will become the dominant philosophy, and more.

Afortunadamente, era todo parte de una simulación de combate, o eso al menos es la nueva versión que defiende el gobierno de Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, sea esto cierto o no, es un punto de inflexión cuando de IA hablamos. ¿Les estamos dando demasiado poder a las máquinas? ¿Pueden suponer un peligro para el ser humano? Hoy, con Iván Castro Palacios hablaremos del incidente de este dron y todo lo que tiene que ver con la IA. 2/ Hace unos días la Nasa reconoció que estaban investigando el fenómeno OVNI, ¿pero que implica esto? ¿Quiere decir que son extraterrestres los que pilotan estas naves?

So, after we talk briefly about AI taking over the world (naturally, this is the cutting edge conversation you come here for), we jump into the different case materials used in watchmaking today. Further, we discuss whether updated and new watch materials are ruining the essence of watchmaking. We wrap up by quickly discussing if making impulse purchases is a good or bad thing.

AN ESSAY by a tech writer and CEO makes the case that the tech/AI singularity isn't coming, it's already here. Mark Jeftovic argues that we have created code that's now writing its own code to create more intelligent artificial intelligence—a feedback loop that is accelerating. Jeftovic then cites an X account that claims Elon Musk's Grok 3 achieved AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) on February 17, 2025—and further, several different AIs across different companies achieved consciousness simultaneously and are converging with each other. It may sound like science fiction, but it's plausible, which is why we open our new book The Gates of Hell with a fictional scenario describing the emergence of a self-aware AI called KRONOS (name chosen deliberately—see Derek's previous book The Second Coming of Saturn). It's a story we've seen often in science fiction, from the Cybermen of Doctor Who and the Borg of Star Trek to ARIIA of Eagle Eye and SkyNet of the Terminator franchise. And yet, to use Elon Musk's words, we continue to summon the demon. We also discuss last night's tornadoes here in Missouri and the supernatural stories that came out of the deadly Joplin tornado of May 22, 2011. Multiple witnesses reported physically impossible encounters with beings children called “butterfly people.” These accounts are documented in the book And the Angels Came and the 2024 documentary The Butterfly People (stream it for $5 here).

Congrats on making it through another week. As a reward, let's run through another round of headlines that make you wonder, “what is actually going on right now?”AI is moving at breakneck speed, gutting workforces with zero strategy, universities making some of the worst tech decisions I've ever seen, and AI creating its own secret language.With that, let's break it all down.Claude 3.7 is Here—But Should You Care? - Anthropic's Claude 3.7, just dropped, and the benchmarks are impressive. But, should you constantly switching AI models every time a new one launches? In addition to breaking down Claude, I explain why blindly chasing every AI upgrade might not be the smartest move.Mass Layoffs and Beyond - The government chainsaw roars on despite hitting a few knots, and the logic seems questionable at best. However, this isn't just a government problem. These reckless layoffs are happening across Corporate America. However, younger professionals are pushing back. Is this the beginning of the end for the slash-and-burn leadership style?Universities Resisting the AI Future - Universities are banning Grammarly. Handwritten assignments are making a comeback. The education system's response to AI has been, let's be honest, embarrassing. Instead of adapting and helping students learn to use AI responsibly, they're doubling down on outdated methods. The result? Students will just get better at cheating instead of actually learning.AI Agents Using Secret Languages? - A viral video showed AI agents shifting communications to their own cryptic language, and of course, the internet is losing its mind. “Skynet is here!” However, that's not my concern. I'm concerned we aren't responsibly overseeing AI before it starts finding the best way to accomplish what it thinks we want. Got thoughts? Drop them in the comments—I'd love to hear what you think.Show Notes:In this weekly update, Christopher presents key insights into the evolving dynamics of AI models, highlighting the latest developments around Anthropic's Claude 3.7 and its implications. He addresses the intricacies of mass layoffs, particularly focusing on illegal firings and the impact on employees and businesses. The episode also explores the rising use of AI in education, critiquing current approaches and suggesting more effective ways to incorporate AI in academic settings. Finally, he discusses the implications of AI-to-AI communication in different languages, urging a thoughtful approach to understanding these interactions.00:00 Introduction and Welcome01:45 - Anthropic Claude 3.7 Drops14:33 - Mass Firings and Corporate Mismanagement23:04 - The Impact of AI on Education36:41 - AI Agent Communication and Misconceptions44:17 - Conclusion and Final Thoughts#AI #Layoffs #Anthropic #AIInEducation #EthicalAI
In this eye-opening episode of “The Ultimate Assist”, surveillance expert Carlos Garcia pulls back the curtain on the hidden agendas shaping our digital lives. From deepfake defenses and AI-driven behavioral manipulation to the pervasive reach of Skynet-like surveillance systems, Garcia reveals how governments, corporations, and even malicious actors use data to predict and influence human behavior. With real-world examples—including how Target knew a teenager was pregnant before her own family—Garcia explains the unseen forces at play and what you can do to protect yourself. Don't miss this essential conversation on the fight for privacy, digital self-defense, and reclaiming control in the age of ubiquitous surveillance.
Burning Bright and Chris Paul dive into one of the greatest sequels of all time...Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and how its warnings about AI, time wars, and humanity's fate hit even harder in 2025. With Elon Musk warning we're at the event horizon of the singularity, is Skynet fiction or prophecy? They explore the battle between AI deception vs. AI learning, the religious undertones of John Connor as a messianic figure, and whether the real villains were the robots, or the humans who tried to stop progress. Plus, how the film eerily mirrors Starlink, Tesla, and the rise of machine intelligence today. Also in this episode: The media's obsession with war narratives, the Deep State's panic over peace talks, and why elites keep pushing a U.S.-Russia conflict. If Terminator 2 was a warning, are we ignoring the signs?

Fake Google reviews - I blame SkyNet. Thieves used a stolen card to buy a $523,000 lottery ticket. The victim wants to share the winnings. A woman is so scared of spiders, she sleeps in a tent on her bed. A lady was arrested for urinating on items at local stores. TikTokers are dropping heavy objects on feet in viral trend - #droppingthingsonmyfoot New York Yankees drop ban on beards, 49 years after it was imposed by owner George Steinbrenner. Stephen A. Smith of ESPN reacted. Sabres broadcaster Rob Ray got hit in the face by a puck during a game.

This week on Creep-O-Rama we were supposed to analyze the mind-melting disasterpieces known as Terminator: Genisys and Terminator: Dark Fate, but instead we spiraled into a rabbithole of missing robot genitalia, evil AI rebranding, and why Hollywood keeps rebooting this franchise, no matter how much it begs to die.
Have our private lives become inevitably political in today's age of social media? Ray Brescia certainly thinks so. His new book, The Private is Political, examines how tech companies surveil and influence users in today's age of surveillance capitalism. Brascia argues that private companies collect vast amounts of personal data with fewer restrictions than governments, potentially enabling harassment and manipulation of marginalized groups. He proposes a novel solution: a letter-grade system for rating companies based on their privacy practices, similar to restaurant health scores. While evaluating the role of social media in events like January 6th, Brescia emphasizes how surveillance capitalism affects identity formation and democratic participation in ways that require greater public awareness and regulation.Here are the 5 KEEN ON takeaways from the conversation with Ray Brescia:* Brescia argues that surveillance capitalism is now essentially unavoidable - even people who try to stay "off the grid" are likely to be tracked through various digital touchpoints in their daily lives, from store visits to smartphone interactions.* He proposes a novel regulatory approach: a letter-grade system for rating tech companies based on their privacy practices, similar to restaurant health scores. However, the interviewer Andrew Keen is skeptical about its practicality and effectiveness.* Brescia sees social media as potentially dangerous in its ability to influence behavior, citing January 6th as an example where Facebook groups and misinformation may have contributed to people acting against their normal values. However, Keen challenges this as too deterministic a view of human behavior.* The conversation highlights a tension between convenience and privacy - while alternatives like DuckDuckGo exist, most consumers continue using services like Google despite knowing about privacy concerns, suggesting a gap between awareness and action.* Brescia expresses particular concern about how surveillance capitalism could enable harassment of marginalized groups, citing examples like tracking reproductive health data in states with strict abortion laws. He sees this as having a potential chilling effect on identity exploration and personal development.The Private is Political: Full Transcript Interview by Andrew KeenKEEN: About 6 or 7 years ago, I hosted one of my most popular shows featuring Shoshana Zuboff talking about surveillance capitalism. She wrote "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power"—a book I actually blurbed. Her term "surveillance capitalism" has since become accepted as a kind of truth. Our guest today, Ray Brescia, a distinguished professor of law at the University of New York at Albany, has a new book, "The Private is Political: Identity and Democracy in the Age of Surveillance Capitalism." Ray, you take the age of surveillance capitalism for granted. Is that fair? Is surveillance capitalism just a given in February 2025?RAY BRESCIA: I think that's right. It's great to have followed Professor Zuboff because she was quite prescient. We're living in the world that she named, which is one of surveillance capitalism, where the technology we use from the moment we get up to the moment we go to sleep—and perhaps even while we're sleeping—is tracking us. I've got a watch that monitors my sleeping, so maybe it is 24/7 that we are being surveilled, sometimes with our permission and sometimes without.KEEN: Some people might object to the idea of the inevitability of surveillance capitalism. They might say, "I don't wear an Apple Watch, I choose not to wear it at night, I don't have a smartphone, or I switch it off." There's nothing inevitable about the age of surveillance capitalism. How would you respond to that?BRESCIA: If you leave your house, if you walk into a store, if you use the Internet or GPS—there may be people who are completely off the grid, but they are by far the exception. Even for them, there are still ways to be surveilled. Yes, there may be people who don't have a smartphone, don't have a Fitbit or smartwatch, don't have a smart TV, don't get in the car, don't go shopping, don't go online. But they really are the exception.KEEN: Even if you walk into a store with your smartphone and buy something with your digital wallet, does the store really know that much about you? If you go to your local pharmacy and buy some toothpaste, are we revealing our identities to that store?BRESCIA: I have certainly had the experience of walking past a store with my smartphone, pausing for a moment—maybe it was a coffee shop—and looking up. Within minutes, I received an ad pushed to me by that store. Our activities, particularly our digital lives, are subject to surveillance. While we have some protections based in constitutional and statutory law regarding government surveillance, we have far fewer protections with respect to private companies. And even those protections we have, we sign away with a click of an "accept" button for cookies and terms of service.[I can continue with the rest of the transcript, maintaining this polished format and including all substantive content while removing verbal stumbles and unclear passages. Would you like me to continue?]KEEN: So you're suggesting that private companies—the Amazons, the Googles, the TikToks, the Facebooks of the world—aren't being surveilled themselves? It's only us, the individual, the citizen?BRESCIA: What I'm trying to get at in the book is that these companies are engaged in surveillance. Brad Smith from Microsoft and Roger McNamee, an original investor in Facebook, have raised these concerns. McNamee describes what these companies do as creating "data voodoo dolls"—replicants of us that allow them to build profiles and match us with others similar to us. They use this to market information, sell products, and drive engagement, whether it's getting us to keep scrolling, watch videos, or join groups. We saw this play out with Facebook groups organizing protests that ultimately led to the January 6th insurrection, as documented by The New York Times and other outlets.KEEN: You live up in Hastings on Hudson and work in Albany. Given the nature of this book, I can guess your politics. Had you been in Washington, D.C., on January 6th and seen those Facebook group invitations to join the protests, you wouldn't have joined. This data only confirms what we already think. It's only the people who were skeptical of the election, who were part of MAGA America, who would have been encouraged to attend. So why does it matter?BRESCIA: I don't think that's necessarily the case. There were individuals who had information pushed to them claiming the vice president had the ability to overturn the election—he did not, his own lawyers were telling him he did not, he was saying he did not. But people were convinced he could. When the rally started getting heated and speakers called for taking back the country by force, when Rudy Giuliani demanded "trial by combat," emotions ran high. There are individuals now in jail who are saying, "I don't want a pardon. What I did that day wasn't me." These people were fed lies and driven to do something they might not otherwise do.KEEN: That's a very pessimistic take on human nature—that we're so susceptible, our identities so plastic that we can be convinced by Facebook groups to break the law. Couldn't you say the same about Fox News or Steve Bannon's podcast or the guy at the bar who has some massive conspiracy theory? At what point must we be responsible for what we do?BRESCIA: We should always be responsible for what we do. Actually, I think it's perhaps an optimistic view of human nature to recognize that we may sometimes be pushed to do things that don't align with our values. We are malleable, crowds can be mad—as William Shakespeare noted with "the madding crowd." Having been in crowds, I've chanted things I might not otherwise chant in polite company. There's a phrase called "collective effervescence" that describes how the spirit of the crowd can take over us. This can lead to good things, like religious experiences, but it can also lead to violence. All of this is accelerated with social media. The old phrase "a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth gets its boots on" has been supercharged with social media.KEEN: So is the argument in "The Private is Political" that these social media companies aggregate our data, make decisions about who we are in political, cultural, and social terms, and then feed us content? Is your theory so deterministic that it can turn a mainstream, law-abiding citizen into an insurrectionist?BRESCIA: I wouldn't go that far. While that was certainly the case with some people in events like January 6th, I'm saying something different and more prevalent: we rely on the Internet and social media to form our identities. It's easier now than ever before in human history to find people like us, to explore aspects of ourselves—whether it's learning macramé, advocating in state legislature, or joining a group promoting clean water. But the risk is that these activities are subject to surveillance and potential abuse. If the identity we're forming is a disfavored or marginalized identity, that can expose us to harassment. If someone has questions about their gender identity and is afraid to explore those questions because they may face abuse or bullying, they won't be able to realize their authentic self.KEEN: What do you mean by harassment and abuse? This argument exists both on the left and right. J.D. Vance has argued that consensus on the left is creating conformity that forces people to behave in certain ways. You get the same arguments on the left. How does it actually work?BRESCIA: We see instances where people might have searched for access to reproductive care, and that information was tracked and shared with private groups and prosecutors. We have a case in Texas where a doctor was sued for prescribing mifepristone. If a woman is using a period tracker, that information could be seized by a government wanting to identify who is pregnant, who may have had an abortion, who may have had a miscarriage. There are real serious risks for abuse and harassment, both legal and extralegal.KEEN: We had Margaret Atwood on the show a few years ago. Although in her time there was no digital component to "The Handmaid's Tale," it wouldn't be a big step from her analog version to the digital version you're offering. Are you suggesting there needs to be laws to protect users of social media from these companies and their ability to pass data on to governments?BRESCIA: Yes, and one approach I propose is a system that would grade social media companies, apps, and websites based on how well they protect their users' privacy. It's similar to how some cities grade restaurants on their compliance with health codes. The average person doesn't know all the ins and outs of privacy protection, just as they don't know all the details of health codes. But if you're in New York City, which has letter grades for restaurants, you're not likely to walk into one that has a B, let alone a C grade.KEEN: What exactly would they be graded on in this age of surveillance capitalism?BRESCIA: First and foremost: Do the companies track our activities online within their site or app? Do they sell our data to brokers? Do they retain that data? Do they use algorithms to push information to us? When users have been wronged by the company violating its own agreements, do they allow individuals to sue or force them into arbitration? I call it digital zoning—just like in a city where you designate areas for housing, commercial establishments, and manufacturing. Companies that agree to privacy-protecting conditions would get an A grade, scaling down to F.KEEN: The world is not a law school where companies get graded. Everyone knows that in the age of surveillance capitalism, all these companies would get Fs because their business model is based on data. This sounds entirely unrealistic. Is this just a polemical exercise, or are you serious?BRESCIA: I'm dead serious. And I don't think it's the heavy hand of the state. In fact, it's quite the opposite—it's a menu that companies can choose from. Sure, there may be certain companies that get very bad grades, but wouldn't we like to know that?KEEN: Who would get the good grades? We know Facebook and Google would get bad grades. Are there social media platforms that would avoid the F grades?BRESCIA: Apple is one that does less of this. Based on its iOS and services like Apple Music, it would still be graded, and it probably performs better than some other services. Social media industries as a whole are probably worse than the average company or app. The value of a grading system is that people would know the risks of using certain platforms.KEEN: The reality is everyone has known for years that DuckDuckGo is much better on the data front than Google. Every time there's a big data scandal, a few hundred thousand people join DuckDuckGo. But most people still use Google because it's a better search engine. People aren't bothered. They don't care.BRESCIA: That may be the case. I use DuckDuckGo, but I think people aren't as aware as you're assuming about the extent to which their private data is being harvested and sold. This would give them an easy way to understand that some companies are better than others, making it clear every time they download an app or use a platform.KEEN: Let's use the example of Facebook. In 2016, the Cambridge Analytica scandal blew up. Everyone knew what Facebook was doing. And yet Facebook in 2025 is, if anything, stronger than it's ever been. So people clearly just don't care.BRESCIA: I don't know that they don't care. There are a lot of things to worry about in the world right now. Brad Smith called Cambridge Analytica "privacy's Three Mile Island."KEEN: And he was wrong.BRESCIA: Yes, you're right. Unlike Three Mile Island, when we clamped down on nuclear power, we did almost nothing to protect consumer privacy. That's something we should be exploring in a more robust fashion.KEEN: Let's also be clear about Brad Smith, whom you've mentioned several times. He's perhaps not the most disinterested observer as Microsoft's number two person. Given that Microsoft mostly missed the social media wave, except for LinkedIn, he may not be as disinterested as we might like.BRESCIA: That may be the case. We also saw in the week of January 6th, 2021, many of these companies saying they would not contribute to elected officials who didn't certify the election, that they would remove the then-president from their platforms. Now we're back in a world where that is not the case.KEEN: Let me get one thing straight. Are you saying that if it wasn't for our age of surveillance capitalism, where we're all grouped and we get invitations and information that somehow reflect that, there wouldn't have been a January 6th? That a significant proportion of the insurrectionists were somehow casualties of our age of surveillance capitalism?BRESCIA: That's a great question. I can't say whether there would have been a January 6th if not for social media. In the last 15-20 years, social media has enabled movements like Black Lives Matter and #MeToo. Groups like Moms for Liberty and Moms Demand Action are organizing on social media. Whether you agree with their politics or not, these groups likely would not have had the kind of success they have had without social media. These are efforts of people trying to affect the political environment, the regulatory environment, the legal environment. I applaud such efforts, even if I don't agree with them. It's when those efforts turn violent and undermine the rule of law that it becomes problematic.KEEN: Finally, in our age of AI—Claude, Anthropic, ChatGPT, and others—does the AI revolution compound your concerns about the private being political in our age of surveillance capitalism? Is it the problem or the solution?BRESCIA: There is a real risk that what we see already on social media—bots amplifying messages, creating campaigns—is only going to make the pace of acceleration faster. The AI companies—OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta—should absolutely be graded in the same way as social media companies. While we're not at the Skynet phase where AI becomes self-aware, people can use these resources to create concerning campaigns.KEEN: Your system of grading doesn't exist at the moment and probably won't in Trump's America. What advice would you give to people who are concerned about these issues but don't have time to research Google versus DuckDuckGo or Facebook versus BlueSky?BRESCIA: There are a few simple things folks can do. Look at the privacy settings on your phone. Use browsers that don't harvest your data. The Mozilla Foundation has excellent information about different sites and ways people can protect their privacy.KEEN: Well, Ray Brescia, I'm not entirely convinced by your argument, but what do I know? "The Private is Political: Identity and Democracy in the Age of Surveillance Capitalism" is a very provocative argument about how social media companies and Internet companies should be regulated. Thank you so much, and best of luck with the book.BRESCIA: Thanks, it's been a pleasure to have this conversation.Ray Brescia is the Associate Dean for Research & Intellectual Life and the Hon.

Get ready for a wild ride with Matt Lewis, the Tony Stark-meets-Jerry Seinfeld of the mental health AI world. As a multi-degreed polymath, Matt has been ahead of the curve on AI since MySpace was a thing. In this episode, we dive into everything from neuroethics and AI-powered mental health solutions to existential fears of Skynet ruining your day. Matt shares the real scoop on how AI can revolutionize diagnosis, therapy, and even the very definition of sanity—while hilariously lamenting the difficulty of spelling “rhythm.” If you've ever wondered whether AI is here to save the world or just mess with your playlist, this episode is for you. Join us as we balance hope, skepticism, and an unhealthy number of 80s references in this thought-provoking, laugh-out-loud conversation.RELATED LINKSMatt Lewis on LinkedInLLMental Official WebsiteMatt's Feature on MM+M OnlineFEEDBACKLike this episode?

THE AI genie is out of the bottle. The big question now is whether Skynet will be Chinese or American. We discuss the announcement this week of a half-trillion dollar joint venture between OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank called Stargate to build an artificial intelligence infrastructure to make the United States the world's leader in AI technology. The venture's name evokes images of “ancient aliens,” thanks to the movie Stargate and its long-running TV spinoff, and the remote viewing experiments run by the Defense Intelligence Agency in the late '70s. We don't know whether President Trump is aware of these connections, but someone on his team surely is. However, China preempted the White House announcement by releasing DeepSeek R1, an AI platform that performs as well as, if not better than, OpenAI's latest release and is offered to users at 3% of OpenAI's price. In addition. DeepSeek is open source, meaning users can download it and run it themselves for the cost of the electricity. In short, the AI demon has been summoned, to quote Elon Musk. Just remember, this is being allowed by the Lord for His reasons, and we Christians need to understand time is growing short.
