Her scenario: a cyberattack on the banking system—whether real or manufactured—could let banks absolve themselves of blame for a crisis, consolidate power into a handful of "systemically important" institutions, and serve as a mechanism to onboard the public onto a new digital-currency paradigm. The chilling version: your money "disappears" in the hack, and you're told you can have the exact same amount back—but only in an approved digital dollar, stablecoin, or CBDC, with new conditions attached. You "voluntarily" accept the new system, but under extreme coercion. The host is careful and explicit throughout that this is Webb's thought experiment, not a claim she has evidence for—but he argues it's "distressingly plausible" given the real pressures on the system: mounting deficits, countries moving away from US debt, gold supplanting the dollar in central-bank reserves, Japan's yen troubles, and the Treasury's genuine push (via stablecoins) to create new appetite for US debt. He uses it as a launchpad for his central thesis: that fear is how free societies get talked into handing government ever more authoritarian control, that "there's always a danger on the horizon" to justify it, and that America should deliberately run the opposite experiment—putting freedom first and being willing to pay a price for it—because politicians are downstream of what the public rewards. The conversation also covers Mayorkas's "kill-where" cyber-threat warnings and a lengthy, deliberately even-handed tangent on Elon Musk—pushing back on the "he's just a government front" framing while flagging genuine conflict-of-interest concerns and arguing the real accountability target is bias in AI systems like Grok, which can be tested and measured.The team dives into the genuinely alarming frontier of AI security—starting with a vivid analogy: The Manchurian Candidate, the 1962 film about a sleeper agent who acts normal until a trigger phrase activates him. The host explains that this is no longer fiction for AI: a study from Anthropic's alignment team, conducted with the UK AI Security Institute and the Alan Turing Institute (described as the largest data-poisoning investigation ever), found you can plant a "backdoor" in a large language model with as few as ~250 malicious documents—and, crucially, that number appears to stay static even as models scale to billions of parameters. That means a hijack that everyone assumed would require nation-state-level control of training data can be pulled off by planting a tiny fraction (~0.00016%) of the data, simply by seeding it on the open internet where models scrape their training material. He walks through why this is so dangerous, then details a real-world attack tracked by security firm Huntress: a "malvertising" campaign ("Fake Agent") that exploited the fact that users can publish their own pages on the Claude AI platform, letting attackers serve what looked like an official Claude desktop download that actually delivered a password-stealing remote-access trojan—reportedly compromising 29 organizations in two days and pulling the fake page ~7,100 times before it was caught. From there the conversation widens into the hard strategic picture: that AI is a genuine, present-day advantage (his own team replicated 60% of a game's functionality with a non-programmer and a handful of tokens), that pulling back out of fear just lets adversaries like China race ahead, that the US risks falling behind on the energy and manufacturing needed to compete, and that the only sane path is to clearly delineate "weapons-grade" AI from civilian AI—regulating the former like nuclear material while refusing to throw the baby out with the bathwater. He closes on how to actually use AI well: not as a novice extracting answers, but as a thought partner you steer from first principles.The team breaks down what the host calls a potentially dangerous rewriting of the entire global economic system—starting with the bloodbath in Japan, where the stock market reportedly shed a massive sum and the 10-year government bond yield hit 3% for the first time since 1996. He explains the mechanism most people miss: for decades, Japan held its interest rates artificially low with no inflation, creating the "yen carry trade"—investors borrowing cheaply in yen to buy higher-yielding assets worldwide, a hidden force that's quietly propped up global markets. Now that Japan finally has inflation, it can't defend those low rates or its weakening yen, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—speaking from the G20—has been publicly pressuring the Bank of Japan to hike, telling CNBC he has information the market doesn't and that Japan will move toward a stronger yen. The host argues that unwinding the carry trade could force a global contraction, hitting anyone invested in markets or even just earning a wage, as investors sell assets to pile back into yen. He digs into why Japan is so exposed—it owns over 50% of its own debt, a reckless situation as rates climb—and explains "zombie companies" that only survive because borrowing is nearly free. Then he draws the uncomfortable parallel: the US, at roughly 130% debt-to-GDP and about to become the "buyer of last resort" for its own debt via the Treasury, is heading somewhere similar, with the central question being whether AI can generate enough real growth to outrun the debt before it implodes. The back half turns constructive: the host lays out what he sees as the only viable path—embracing AI rather than fighting it, building data centers "the right way" (crediting Ryan's approach of threading the needle so they're net-positive for the towns they're in), defining the line between "weapons-grade" and civilian AI, teaching people to use AI as a tool that empowers rather than dulls them, making real demands of an education system judged by its outputs, and letting students discharge loans in bankruptcy. A dense, sobering, but ultimately hopeful map of a genuinely precarious moment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Urban legends are woven into the fabric of our culture. From eerie stories recounted around campfires, to the tales that inspired some of our most iconic horror films, these cautionary tales have become deeply embedded in our collective imagination. While many were originally created by adults hoping to keep children safe from real-world dangers, others have taken on lives of their own—and in some cases, the line between myth and reality has become disturbingly blurred.This week, we'll explore the urban legends that inspired Hollywood's biggest scares, the chilling folklore that continues to haunt current generations, and the stories that, in some cases, turned into real-life nightmares.

Welcome to Impact Theory. In today's episode, we dive into the rising power of the Democratic Socialists of America and the candidate who has become the movement's most polarizing new face. As DSA-aligned nominees sweep primaries across New York State, we unpack what these wins actually mean and why the gap between what these candidates say and what they plan to do should concern every American.At the center of the conversation is Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Democratic nominee for Congress in New York's 13th district. We examine her deleted social media history, including past calls to fully abolish the police, opposition to all deportations even for criminals, and posts advocating the seizure of private property, the nationalization of hospitals and pharmaceutical companies, and the freezing of rents. We break down how a clearly intelligent and disciplined politician has learned to dodge the hard questions, deliver eloquent non-answers, and avoid handing anyone a usable soundbite.From the philosophy of socialism and the historical record of where these ideologies lead, to the de Tocqueville concept of the overproduction of elites, to the real economic forces driving young voters left, this conversation pulls no punches. We also dig into identity politics, the difference between diagnosing a problem and prescribing the wrong cure, and why getting the solution wrong can be even more dangerous than ignoring the problem entirely.Whether you are here to understand the future of the American left or to see how today's choices will define tomorrow, this episode offers a sharp and unflinching look at the ideas now competing for power.Quince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodWhatnot: Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.ATT Business: Switch to AT&T Business at business.att.comKetone IQ: Visit https://ketone.com/IMPACT for 30% OFF your subscription orderShopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/impactTruemed: Check your eligibility and start saving at https://truemed.com/impactEthos: Get a free quote at https://ethos.com/impactIncogni: Take your personal data back with Incogni!

No One Is Coming ep. 832 Rosemary Selking is a Midwestern native and a Kansas City transplant. When she's not working her day job in international logistics, you can most likely find her indulging in fiber arts or playing cozy video games such as Skyrim. She does not have any pets but she does have two sons and a weighted blanket, which is basically the same thing. You can find her other works with Tales to Terrify and The Rialto Book Review.   ---- Listen Elsewhere ---- YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/TallTaleTV Website: http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- Story Submission ---- Got a short story you'd like to submit? Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.
