Podcasts about Snake oil

In this laugh-out-loud (and occasionally jaw-dropping) replay of Doctales with Cocktails, Drs. May and Tim dive into one of their most viral segments yet — the story of a "sexual consent expert" who claims we should ask babies before changing their diapers. From there, they spiral delightfully into topics like auto insurance covering STDs (seriously), the possibility of suing Toyota for child support, and whether giraffes really need chiropractic adjustments.This episode blends mockery with meaning, as the hosts pause to reflect on trauma, societal absurdity, and the dangers of over-intellectualizing basic parenting. It's raw, real, and ridiculous — and that's exactly how they like it.Segments include:

Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent discuss Darko's coverage of the Munich High End show, including his insistence that he's noping out of trade shows going forward. Will we really never see him again IRL? Next up: did Audio Judgement do this crossover A/B blind test right … and can a chancy collection of cheap caps and chokes credibly conquer the chi-chi stuff? Finally, they contrast two articles from high-end audio sites that posit very different proposals about blind testing.

Summary:Is it Snake Oil? Is it worth the hype? Spoiler alert - you should probably focus on nailing the fundamentals and dropping the ego before you focus on expensive remedies, potions and weird lights. In this episode of the Finding Strong podcast, hosts Mark Bottenhorn and Arthur Blue discuss the realities of training, the importance of consistency, and the overwhelming amount of misinformation in the fitness industry. They emphasize the need for basic recovery principles, the significance of setting realistic goals, and the necessity of hard work in achieving fitness aspirations. The conversation also touches on the hybrid athlete debate, the role of strength training for runners, and the relevance of biohacking in a well-rounded fitness routine.Keywords:fitness, training, recovery, social media, strength training, running, hybrid athlete, health, goals, consistency

Links: My website: imlearningmandarin.com--On today's episode, I'm going to talk about a genre of Mandarin learning content which in recent times has exploded on the internet. And that is what I would broadly term as Mandarin learning snake oil. I break down how you can easily tell the difference between Mandarin learning advice given in good faith versus snake oil, basically designed to scam you.

Christ consciousness is a growing New Age belief that presents Christ as a universal state of enlightenment rather than the incarnate Son of God. It redefines salvation as merely overcoming the illusion of separation from God, dismisses the reality of sin, and turns the crucifixion and resurrection into symbolic metaphors. This belief system offers self-realization and inner divinity, but it ultimately denies the power of the gospel and the need for a Savior. The guys point out that while it may sound spiritual and even appealing, it leads people away from the truth of scripture. They encourage believers to stay rooted in God's Word, approach conversations with grace and clarity, and remember that those drawn to these teachings are often searching for real hope—something only Jesus can provide.Send us a textThanks for listening!

If you've been in bed for a year yer gonna be tired after a workouta. You gotta get back on your exercise routine and qitcherbellyaching” —a theory that's led to permanent patient paralysis.

Talk Back to MeIs it immoral for a brand to sell a Bible? Does our answer change within the context of Gun Culture? As we witness a revival of Faith in this loosely-bordered community, we watch as the imagery, iconography, and storefronts shift from the nihilistic, to the Christian. Instead of tap-rack-bang morale patches featuring lewd imagery, we see a cross, a Bible verse, a call to conviction. But with the newfound presence of Christianity on the front page of the Gun Culture, is it wrong, or dishonoring to the Word of God for a company to sell a Cordura-wrapped Bible with their logo on it? Even if their intent is good, does this action bring money-changers into the temple?1. The Criticism being Made2. What the Criticism Should Be3. The Root of the Problem4.

Does it matter more what you say or how you say it? Do you like true crime? Do you wonder how Snake Oil got a bad rap? Have you ever wanted to teach a Judge about the law?

Ever wondered why a worthless item being sold as a miracle cure is referred to as Snake Oil?  Like just about everything else in Modern America is dates back to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.  Clark Stanley sold snake oil to relieve aches and pains.  The amazing thing is that Snake Oil really can help with these issues, unfortunately Snake Oil is something the Snake Oil salesman wasn't actually selling.  His concoction was full of things like turpentine mineral oil, defrauding people and resulting in Snake Oil becoming the common term for a patent medicine con.  Take a listen to his story this week and a few other choice con artists from the past who sold everything from psychic visions to the Eiffel Tower (twice).

AI agents are making big waves, but are they the future of business or just another passing trend? In this episode, Rob Collie and Justin Mannhardt explore the rise of AI agents, what they actually do, and why the excitement might be a little premature. They unpack the risks, the rewards, and how leaders can navigate the hype with a bit of caution and a lot of curiosity. Rob and Justin discuss the fine balance between automation and human oversight, tackling questions about when it's smart to embrace AI and when it might be better to pause. They also share thoughts on the current SaaS landscape, where new AI tools are popping up fast and why it pays to be thoughtful before jumping in. Ultimately, this episode is about finding clarity in a fast-moving space. It's about understanding where AI agents can add real value, where they might introduce unnecessary risk, and why critical thinking still matters. Rob and Justin reflect on the challenges of trusting AI, the dangers of locking into technology too early, and how the best decisions come from balancing curiosity with skepticism. If you're wondering how to separate the genuine innovations from the passing fads and how to be strategic about adopting AI in your business, this conversation is for you.

In this episode:In this episode we tackle a serious medical mailbag segment about the dubious world of 'Bro Peptides.' They sound great on paper, but you'll want to tune in to hear why they might just be the latest health fad to avoid. Then, balancing a professional triathlon career and medical school isn't for the faint-hearted, but somehow, Matthew Marquardt is nailing it. You know, just casually winning the overall age group championship at Kona and juggling a full-time commitment to becoming a head and neck surgeon. No big deal, right? We dive into the whirlwind life of Matthew, where he shares how he manages to fit in grueling training sessions alongside his medical rotations. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of prioritizing and some serious time management skills. We explore the importance of being intentional with time—because let's be real, it's so easy to lose track of hours swiping through TikTok or binge-watching yet another series. Matthew's story proves that with a purpose, you can truly redefine what's possible, whether it's in triathlon, medicine, or tackling that never-ending to-do list. So grab your headphones and get ready for a rollercoaster of inspiration, and a sprinkle of science!Segments:[10:02]- Medical Mailbag: BPC-157/TB500[35:32]- Interview: Matthew MarquardtLinksLifeSport Coaching Chalk Talk: The TriDoc podcast-what really works (3/15 at 8PM EDT)@matthewdmarquardt on Instagram

Delta Survivors are starting to question why the airline was in such a rush to settle. Excedrin has been the secret drug all along. Lester Holt Leaves NBC Nightly News but no the Cakewalk he has at Dateline.

“O King, as I repeatedly recall this wondrous and holy dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, I take pleasure, being thrilled at every moment.” (Sanjaya, Bhagavad-gita, 18.76)

The breaking up of federal healthcare, and similarly related, agencies comes with a caveat: what will they be replaced with? The same question can be asked about ingredients that may soon be restricted in the United States, what are they going to be replaced with? A recent Executive Order from the White House has created the Make America Healthy Again Commission to investigate why Americans are not only so mentally and physically sick, but why we lead developed nations in these diseases, sometimes doubling the rates. Asthma is twice as common in the US than in Europe, Africa, or even Asia. Six in ten Americans have one chronic disease, while four in ten have more. While some may be genuinely classified by symptoms, others are fabricated to sell drugs, hence while ADD/ADHD has continued to explode. America spends $4.5-trillion in healthcare annually and 90% of that is on chronic conditions and mental health problems that are treatable, reversible, or preventable. But how much good can MAHA do when it is approved by a fast food president and when its leader, RFK Jr. still says McDonalds is acceptable so long as it is fried in beef tallow. Nothing is perfect, but it needs to be said that junk food prohibition will work as good as alcohol prohibition. America has a food fetish of the worst kind, an obsession with simple so-called solutions to problems they create personally, and an unhealthy reliance on men and women who work for companies that have a desire to sell you wonder cures.  -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITESTRIPE DONATIONCashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Where is the line between fact and fiction in the capabilities of AI? Which predictions or promises about the future of AI are reasonable and which are the creations of hype for the benefit of the industry or the company making outsized claims?Arvind Narayanan is a professor of computer science at Princeton University, the director of the Center for Information Technology Policy, and an author. His latest book is AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can't, and How to Tell the Difference.Greg and Arvind discuss the misconceptions about AI technology, emphasizing the overestimations of AI's capabilities and the importance of understanding predictive versus generative AI. Arvind also points out the ethical and practical issues of deploying AI in fields like criminal justice and HR. Arvind and Greg also explore the challenges of regulation, the historical context of technological hype, and how academia can play a role in shaping AI's future. Arvind also reflects on his previous work on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency technologies and shares insights into the complexities and future of AI and blockchain.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:Deep LearningGenerative Artificial IntelligenceAISnakeOil.com | NewsletterBitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies | Princeton/Coursera CourseGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Princeton UniversityLinkedIn ProfileWikipedia PageHis Work:Amazon Author PageAI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can't, and How to Tell the DifferenceBitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies: A Comprehensive IntroductionFairness and Machine Learning: Limitations and OpportunitiesGoogle Scholar PageEpisode Quotes:What can the AI community learn from medicine about testing?28:51: Let's talk about what we can learn from medicine and what maybe we shouldn't take from them. I think that the community internalized a long time ago that the hard part of innovation is not the building, but the testing. And the AI community needs to learn that. Traditionally, in machine learning, the building was the hard part, and everybody would evaluate on the same few sets of benchmarks. And that was okay because they were mostly solving toy problems as they were building up the complexities of these technologies. Now, we're building AI systems that need to do things in the real world. And the building, especially with foundation models, you build once and apply it to a lot of different things. Right? That has gotten a lot easier—not necessarily easier in terms of technical skills, but in terms of the relative amount of investment you need to put into that, as opposed to the testing—because now you have to test foundation models in a legal setting, medical setting, [and] hundreds of other settings. So that, I think, is one big lesson.Replacing broken systems with AI can escalate the problem08:36: Just because one system is broken doesn't mean that we should replace it with another broken system instead of trying to do the hard work of thinking about how to fix the system. And fixing it with AI is not even working because, in the hiring scenario, what's happening is that candidates are now turning to AI to apply to hundreds of positions at once. And it's clearly not solving the problem; it's only escalating the arms race. And it might be true that human decision-makers are biased; they're not very accurate. But at least, when you have a human in the loop, you're forced to confront this shittiness of the situation, right? You can't put this moral distance between yourself and what's going on, and I think that's one way in which AI could make it worse because it's got this veneer of objectivity and accuracy.Foundation models lower costs and could shift AI research back to academia27:22: The rise of foundation models has meant that they've kind of now become a layer on top of which you can build other things, and that is much, much less expensive. Then, building foundation models themselves—especially if it's going to be the case that scaling is going to run out—we don't need to look for AI advances by building 1 billion models and 10 billion models; we can take the existing foundation models for granted and build on top of them. Then, I would expect that a lot of research might move back to academia. Especially the kind of research that might involve offbeat ideas.

New ‘Sode. Alas, as I sit polishing my ninja green Birkin bag buckle, alone after being dumped by a ParaFI partner, I ponder what went wrong in 2024 in Glitter and Crypto. There was the horrifying misunderstanding at Neiman Marcus ETH Denver that resulted in my shoplifting misdemeanor, the disappointing lack of staking in the ETH ETF that left most of my circle lightly slitting their wrists to the soundtrack of Usher Let it Burn, NFTs left completely out of the ERA's tour, Caroline Ellison's refusal to wear anything cute at her trial, .   I am high on AI generated meth with excitement for the 2025 Chinese New Year of the Snake, which can only bring good fortune.  I have so many hopes and dreams for 2025 that I hope my AI avatar bot can pin to my vision board in time for the year new me new meme coin. I digress. My guest is the fabulous Susan Oh. AI Afficiando who was recently beat up in a hotel room by her co-founder (and is OK) and was able to stop at Glitter Ledger Headquarters on her way to press charges before heading back to Bali. Susan has the IQ of Marilyn Monroe. Her story upbringing is fascinating. She and her  family fled South Korea's military dictatorship and then left Iran before the Ayatollah took over; and she family assumed refugee status for 8= months in the UK, before they were sponsored in Canada, where she grew up. She then became a teenage chain smoking punk rocker out at gay discos. Susan then had a career in journalism, media, AI and crypto all mixed together in a big clay pot thrown into a  Kiln of glitter and madness before developing her baby Muckr AI, a company that uses AI to flag disinformation. Unfortunately, the funding has had some interesting bumps. Listen on. Happy New Year. #GlitterLedger.

In AI Snake Oil: What AI Can Do, What It Can't, and How to Tell the Difference, Sayash Kapoor and his co-author Arvind Narayanan provide an essential understanding of how AI works and why some applications remain fundamentally beyond its capabilities.Kapoor was included in TIME's inaugural list of the 100 most influential people in AI. As a researcher at Princeton University's Center for Information Technology Policy, he examines the societal impacts of AI, with a focus on reproducibility, transparency, and accountability in AI systems. In his new book, he cuts through the hype to help readers discriminate between legitimate and bogus claims for AI technologies and applications.In his conversation with Martin Reeves, chair of the BCG Henderson Institute, Kapoor discusses historical patterns of technology hype, differentiates between the powers and limitations of predictive versus generative AI, and outlines how managers can balance healthy skepticism with embracing the potential of new technologies.Key topics discussed: 01:05 | Examples of AI “snake oil”04:42 | Historical patterns of technology hypeand how AI is different07:26 | Capabilities and exaggerations of predictive AI11:42 | Powers and limitations of generative AI17:11 | Drivers of inflated expectations20:18 | Implications for regulation23:26 | How managers can balance scepticism and embracing new tech24:58 | Future of AI researchAdditional inspirations from Sayash Kapoor:AI Snake Oil (Substack)A Checklist of Eighteen Pitfalls in AI Journalism (UNESCO article, 2022)This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

"When done correctly, vision therapy is backed by science, supported by research, and changes lives."In this episode, we tackle a provocative question: Is vision therapy snake oil? We break down the history of this misconception, the science that validates vision therapy, and why it's critical to seek treatment from highly trained professionals.Dr. Collier also shares insights on how well-meaning but underqualified practitioners can unintentionally undermine the reputation of vision therapy, leading to skepticism and confusion among those who might benefit from it most.Whether you're curious about the science, skeptical of the process, or exploring options for care, this episode sheds light on what makes true optometric vision therapy a transformative and evidence-based practice.In this episode you'll hear about:(00:00) Intro(00:33) The Snake Oil Myth(02:33) History of Vision Therapy(03:50) The Science Behind Vision Therapy(04:54) Challenges in Vision Therapy Research(07:03) The 4D Built to Read Program(07:53) Differences and Similarities in Vision Therapy Practices(09:09) Expansion of Vision Therapy by Other Practitioners(11:16) The Importance of Proper Training(13:14) Ensuring Quality Vision Therapy(17:13) Final ThoughtsCheck out our Digital ProgramsStart your FREE TRIAL today 4D Built to Read Digital ProgramConcussion RecoveryBuilt to DriveFollow us at 4D Vision Gym on Facebook and Instagram @4dvisiongymvt for the latest news and updates.

Today, we're joined by Arvind Narayanan, professor of Computer Science at Princeton University to discuss his recent works, AI Agents That Matter and AI Snake Oil. In “AI Agents That Matter”, we explore the range of agentic behaviors, the challenges in benchmarking agents, and the ‘capability and reliability gap', which creates risks when deploying AI agents in real-world applications. We also discuss the importance of verifiers as a technique for safeguarding agent behavior. We then dig into the AI Snake Oil book, which uncovers examples of problematic and overhyped claims in AI. Arvind shares various use cases of failed applications of AI, outlines a taxonomy of AI risks, and shares his insights on AI's catastrophic risks. Additionally, we also touched on different approaches to LLM-based reasoning, his views on tech policy and regulation, and his work on CORE-Bench, a benchmark designed to measure AI agents' accuracy in computational reproducibility tasks.
