It's been nearly two months since the fragile ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas went into effect. The ceasefire is intended to be the first phase of an overarching plan to bring peace to the region after two years of war. But the next steps in the plan seem murky at best. Over the weekend, the Washington Post reported that countries that had planned to deploy troops to Gaza to keep the peace as part of an International Stabilizing Force have backpedaled on their commitments. Meanwhile, Gazans are continuing to struggle – reeling from massive flooding and increasingly cold weather. For more on the current conditions in Gaza, we spoke with Mohammed Aklouk, a coordinator for the Norwegian Refugee Council who lives in Gaza with his family.And in headlines, Luigi Mangione's lawyers attempt to get key pieces of evidence thrown out in his New York state trial, a federal court rules that Alina Habba has been serving unlawfully as New Jersey's top federal prosecutor, and Indiana Republicans continue their push to assist President Donald Trump's calls for partisan gerrymandering.This holiday season, gift someone a Friends of the Pod subscription or treat yourself.

Most discourse on AI is low-quality. Most discourse on consciousness is super-abysmal-double-low quality. Multiply these - or maybe raise one to the exponent of the other, or something - and you get the quality of discourse on AI consciousness. It's not great. Out-of-the-box AIs mimic human text, and humans almost always describe themselves as conscious. So if you ask an AI whether it is conscious, it will often say yes. But because companies know this will happen, and don't want to give their customers existential crises, they hard-code in a command for the AIs to answer that they aren't conscious. Any response the AIs give will be determined by these two conflicting biases, and therefore not really believable. A recent paper expands on this method by subjecting AIs to a mechanistic interpretability "lie detector" test; it finds that AIs which say they're conscious think they're telling the truth, and AIs which say they're not conscious think they're lying. But it's hard to be sure this isn't just the copying-human-text thing. Can we do better? Unclear; the more common outcome for people who dip their toes in this space is to do much, much worse. But a rare bright spot has appeared: a seminal paper published earlier this month in Trends In Cognitive Science, Identifying Indicators Of Consciousness In AI Systems. Authors include Turing-Award-winning AI researcher Yoshua Bengio, leading philosopher of consciousness David Chalmers, and even a few members of our conspiracy. If any AI consciousness research can rise to the level of merely awful, surely we will find it here. One might divide theories of consciousness into three bins: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-new-ai-consciousness-paper
Today I'm sharing a message I recorded in the car while the kids were napping. I had just launched my new website, and it opened up a deeper reflection I've been having lately about identity and why so many of us feel lost, unclear, or “behind.”If you're moving, changing careers, becoming a parent, or simply evolving as a human… your identity is evolving too. And that messy, gray space where nothing feels defined is not a sign that you're struggling. It's a sign that transformation is happening.In this episode I talk about:Why identity shifts feel uncomfortable but are completely normalHow life transitions (big or small) trigger inner evolutionWhy confusion is often just growth we haven't named yetHow to stop treating yourself like you're failing when you're actually becomingWhy slowing down and creating space is essential for clarityHow surrender and self-compassion unlock the next version of youIf you're in a season of change and you're being hard on yourself because you “should have it figured out,” this conversation will bring relief. You're not lost. You're rebuilding. You're re-rooting. You're rising.You can also explore the new website and join the waitlist for the upcoming SHE Summit program at ClaudiaChan.com.Sending love to you, wherever you are on your becoming journey.

We reflect on the tension between judgment and invitation, the dual possibilities within the word “overturned,” and the surprising breadth of compassion revealed in God's dealings with Nineveh. We trace how the sermon's grammar, its echoes across scripture, and Jonah's own desires shape the message, and how Nineveh's response becomes a lesson in hearing God rightly. Together we consider the complexity of prophecy, the nature of repentance, and the character of a God who overturns in order to restore.Episode 223 of the Two Texts Podcast | Jonah Beyond the Whale 19If you want to get in touch about something in the podcast you can reach out on podcast@twotexts.com or by liking and following the Two Texts podcast on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Matthew Coller from Purple Insider joins Chad Hartman each and every Friday. Chad opens their conversation with a question about who Matthew thinks will be named starting QB ahead of the Vikings game against the Seahawks. They run through some scenarios that would impact the choice which also includes JJ McCarthy's poor play as of late. They chat about finding franchise quarterbacks in unexpected places and Max Brosmer's Brock Purdy potential. In their second segment, Matthew and Chad explore the possibility of the Vikings moving on from JJ McCarthy. Matthew thinks he will be on the team but without the assumption that he is the long term solution. He expects a competition at the position and a ton of pressure on the organization to find their answer. They also talk about what Sam Darnold has been up to in Seattle and if he is the one that got away.

This is a replay of an episode I did 10 years ago for the 40th anniversary of the sinking. Tonight I talk about the wreck of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald Timeline: NOVEMBER 9 8:30 AM The Edmund Fitzgerald is loaded with taconite pellets at Burlington Northern Railroad, Dock 1. Superior, Wisconsin The ship is scheduled to transport the cargo to Zug Island on the Detroit River. 2:20 PM The Fitzgerald departs Lake Superior en route of Detroit with 26,116 tons of taconite pellets. 2:39 PM The National Weather Service issues gale warnings for the area which the Fitzgerald is sailing in. Captain Cooper on the Anderson radios a freighter (the Edmund Fitzgerald) that he spots. 4:15 PM The Fitzgerald spots the Arthur M. Anderson some 15 miles behind it. NOVEMBER 10 1:00 AM Weather report from the Fitzgerald. The report from the Fitzgerald shows her to be 20 miles south of Isle Royale. Winds are at 52 knots, with waves ten feet in height. 7:00 AM Weather report from the Fitzgerald. Winds are at 35 knots, waves of ten feet. This is the last weather report that the Edmund Fitzgerald will ever make. 3:15 PM Captain Jesse Cooper, (J.C.) of the S.S. Arthur M. Anderson watches the Fitzgerald round Caribou Island and comments that the Fitzgerald is much closer to Six Fathom Shoal than he would want to be. 3:20 PM Anderson reports winds coming from the Northwest at 43 knots. 3:30 PM Radio transmission between the Fitzgerald and the Anderson Captain McSorley (C.M.) to Captain Cooper (C.C.): C.M.: “Anderson, this is the Fitzgerald. I have sustained some topside damage. I have a fence rail laid down, two vents lost or damaged, and a list. I'm checking down. Will you stay by me til I get to Whitefish?” C.C.: “Charlie on that Fitzgerald. Do you have your pumps going?” C.M.: “Yes, both of them 4:10 PM The Fitzgerald radios the Arthur M. Anderson requesting radar assistance for the remainder of the voyage. Fitzgerald: “Anderson, this is the Fitzgerald. I have lost both radars. Can you provide me with radar plots till we reach Whitefish Bay?” Anderson: “Charlie on that, Fitzgerald. We'll keep you advised of position.” About 4:39 PM The Fitzgerald cannot pick up the Whitefish Point radio beacon. The Fitzgerald radios the Coast Guard station at Grand Marais on Channel 16, the emergency channel. Between 4:30 and 5:00 PM The Edmund Fitzgerald calls for any vessel in the Whitefish Point area regarding information about the beacon and light at Whitefish Point. They receive an answer by the saltwater vessel Avafors that the beacon and the light are not operating. Estimated between 5:30 and 6:00 PM Radio transmission between the Avafors and the Fitzgerald. Avafors: “Fitzgerald, this is the Avafors. I have the Whitefish light now but still am receiving no beacon. Over.” Fitzgerald: “I'm very glad to hear it.” Avafors: “The wind is really howling down here. What are the conditions where you are?” Fitzgerald: (Undiscernable shouts heard by the Avafors.) “DON'T LET NOBODY ON DECK!” Avafors: “What's that, Fitzgerald? Unclear. Over.” Fitzgerald: “I have a bad list, lost both radars. And am taking heavy seas over the deck. One of the worst seas I've ever been in.” Avafors: “If I'm correct, you have two radars.” Fitzgerald: “They're both gone.” Sometime around 7:00 PM The Anderson is struck by two huge waves that put water on the ship, 35 feet above the water line. The waves hit with enough force to push the starboard lifeboat down, damaging the bottom. 7:10 PM Radio transmission between the Anderson and the Fitzgerald. The Fitzgerald is still being followed by the Arthur M. Anderson. They are about 10 miles behind the Fitzgerald. Anderson: “Fitzgerald, this is the Anderson. Have you checked down?” Fitzgerald: “Yes we have.” Anderson: “Fitzgerald, we are about 10 miles behind you, and gaining about 1 1/2 miles per hour. Fitzgerald, there is a target 19 miles ahead of us.

Multiple sources tell CBC News that the risk of triggering another election has the Conservative and NDP caucuses grappling with whether to vote against the Liberal budget, as it remains unclear where the Liberals will secure the three votes they need.

Louvre Heist EXPOSED Expert Insights from a Retired NYPD Sergeant The arrests in the Louvre heist are a major victory for law enforcement, and a testament to the power of meticulous forensic science. What began as a brazen crime, one that seemed flawless, was unraveled by the smallest of details—microscopic traces of DNA and fingerprints left behind in the thieves' haste. This case is a perfect example of the constant battle between the audacity of criminals and the persistence of those sworn to catch them. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched Tomorrow Never Dies, the 1997 action thriller, the eighteenth film in the James Bond series and the second to star Pierce Brosnan as fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode, it follows Bond in his effort to stop the media mogul Elliot Carver, played by Jonathan Pryce, from starting World War III in order to expand his reach over the world's information environment.Is Tomorrow Never Dies the superior film to Goldeneye? Is the power-mad media mogul a more relevant villain in 2025 than it was in 1997? How different is our media landscape, really, from that of an earlier age of American life? How much fun do you think Jonathan Pryce was having on set?Tomorrow Never Dies stars Pierce Brosnan, Jonathan Pryce, Michelle Yeoh, Teri Hatcher, Götz Otto, Ricky Jay, Joe Don Baker, Vincent Schiavelli, Judi Dench and Desmond Llewelyn.The tagline for the film is “The Man. The Number. The License...are all back.”You can find Tomorrow Never Dies to rent or stream on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.Episodes come out roughly every two weeks (we're working on it) and our next episode will be on Barry Levinson's Wag the Dog.

ChatGPT is getting an Adults-Only mode From December, verified adults, will be able to chat with AI in a much more adult way. To be verified you'll need to upload your ID and go through a verification process. Now, how often that verification is rechecked is yet to be know. Could you sign up for an account, then share your credentials? Do you need to scan your face before each session? Unclear. The company has a principle that they should "treat adult users like adults" -- which means letting them have more 'freedom' to chat about a wider range of topics. That also means removing some of the restrictions around mental health topics. Why does this matter? Some crazy stats from a resume.org survey of 1000: 25% of Gen Z describe AI bots as their therapist or coach, a friend, or coworker 34% admit to confiding in AI chatbots about things they've never told another person 16% say they frequently discuss personal topics such as mental health or relationships with AI, while 33% say they do so occasionally.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Ross Compton, Senior Director of Global Policy at EnerGeo Alliance, about a new report highlighting how a thriving upstream oil and gas sector could inject up to R23 billion into South Africa’s GDP each year and create more than 20,000 jobs from projects like Block 11B/12B alone. Compton contrasts this with Namibia’s success, saying South Africa’s unclear regulations and frequent legal challenges deter investment, while countries like Namibia, Suriname and Ghana are reaping the rewards of regulatory certainty and investor-friendly policies.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched the (rightfully) forgotten thriller The Jackal, a loose adaptation of The Day of the Jackal directed by Michael Caton-Jones and starring Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Sidney Poitier and Diane Venora.In The Jackal, Willis plays the titular assassin, a feared hitman who has been hired by Russian mobsters to assassinate the director of the FBI, in retaliation for American activity in Russia. As the Jackal makes his arrangements, FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (Poitier) and Russian Police Major Valentina Koslova (Venora) scour their sources for leads in a search that leads to imprisoned IRA sniper Declan Mulqueen (Gere). Mulqueen knows the Jackal and will help the FBI find him — if he gets his freedom in return. What follows is a chase across the world, as Carter, Koslova and Mulqueen race to stop the Jackal, whose ultimate target is the First Lady of the United States.The tagline for The Jackal was “How do you stop an assassin who has no identity?”You can find The Jackal to rent or purchase on Apple TV or Amazon Prime.Episodes come out roughly every two weeks, so we'll see you then with an episode on Tomorrow Never Dies, the second entry in Pierce Brosnan's run as James Bond.Over on Patreon, we have an episode on the first Mobile Suit Gundam compliation film.

In this episode: Relaxation in the Present Moment MeditationThis mindfulness exercise invites you to leave everything behind for a moment and revel in the profound simplicity of the here and now.Our daily lives are filled with tasks, plans, concerns, obligations to family and work, and so much more. The list goes on.Nonetheless, we have the option to let go of all that has transpired and all that is yet to happen, and merely immerse ourselves in the infinite moment of now, even if it's just for one breath.That's the essence of this meditation practice. It's an opportunity to relax in the uncomplicated act of being conscious of nothing more than this incoming breath and this exiting breath, just as they are, instant by instant, breath by breath.I hope you enjoy this meditation.PS: Introducing the…

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched Paul Verhoeven's 1997 science-fiction action thriller Starship Troopers, starring Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyers, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Michael Ironside and Clancy Brown. An adaptation of Robert Heinlein's 1959 novel of the same title, Verhoeven's film takes a satirical pass on the material, turning a fascistic coming-of-age tale into an unusual piece of meta-propaganda.Starship Troopers takes place in a future, fascist society, where democracy and universal suffrage have been overthrown, and a military government leads humanity, with full citizenship reserved for those who serve in the armed services. Casper Van Dien plays Johnny Rico, an eager young recruit in the Mobile Infantry, who is sent to the frontlines of a war against the Arachnids, a supposedly hostile race of alien insectoids. The film tells the story of Rico's training, his experience in battle, and his eventual rise to command. It is the kind of triumphant narrative that the fascist government of the story would want to broadcast to a skeptical citizenry, which gets to what this movie is trying to do as a film. We talk about this and more, so tune in!You can find a video version of this episode at Jamelle's YouTube page.Episodes come out roughly every two weeks, so join us then with an episode on The Jackal, a basically forgotten thriller starring Richard Gere and Bruce Willis.Over at the Patreon, we discussed The Baader-Meinhof Complex.

Ever feel like your life should feel amazing, but inside... you're just stuck? You've got the job, the family, the “success”—but confidence is shaky, motivation is MIA, and the truth is you're scared you're wasting your potential. In this episode, I respond to a listener email from “Jim,” a man with a beautiful life on the outside and a gnawing feeling of being lost on the inside. If you've ever said: “I don't know where to start,” or “I feel like I'm this close to something real but can't seem to move”—this one is for you. I walk you through the six principles I've personally used (and coached others through) to reconnect with clarity, rebuild trust with yourself, and actually start living the life you know you're meant for.

We're going to explore something exciting—visualizing the life of our dreams.The foundation of this practice is simple: being present and mindful without judging our thoughts. Through mindfulness, we can fully experience the present moment rather than becoming entangled in past regrets or future anxieties.Once we settle into a relaxed state, we'll create a mental image of our ideal life. We'll make this visualization come alive by imagining the sensory details—what we see, hear, and feel in this dream life.Then, when we're deeply immersed in that visualization, I have a special surprise waiting for us.PS: Introducing the…

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched Red Corner, a 1997 legal thriller directed by Jon Avnet and starring Richard Gere, Bai Ling, Bradley Whitford and Peter Donat.In Red Corner, Richard Gere plays Jack Moore,, an American businessman who becomes entangled in nightmarish legal ordeal after he spends the evening with a Chinese fashion model and wakes up the next morning to find that she has been brutally murdered.Jack insists that he's innocent, but learns that the Chinese legal system is very different than what he's used to in the United States. He is denied access to an American lawyer, interrogated without counsel, and pressured to sign a confession rather than defend himself. His state-assigned advocate, Shen Yuelin, assumes that Jack is guilty. But as she investigates the case, and grows closer to her client, she starts to doubt her conclusions. Gradually convinced of Jack's innocence, she uncovers signs of a larger conspiracy involving high-ranking officials and powerful business interests. As political and legal pressures mount, Jack and Shen race against time to try to expose the truth, navigating a perilous maze of corruption and authoritarian control.You can find Red Corner to rent or stream on Amazon and Apple TV.For our next episode, we will cover Paul Verhoeven's adaptation of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers.
