General Holt explains that AI models in war games demonstrate a bias toward violent escalation, often prioritizing "winning" over negotiation, which leads to nuclear conflict. He emphasizes the necessity of keeping humans in the loop and maintaining direct communications between rival nations to prevent automated catastrophe. 1959
PREVIEW: General Blaine Holt warns that military war games frequently escalate toward nuclear conflict, a tendency that integrating artificial intelligence might accelerate rather than mitigate. He argues that current models often lead to "civilization consequences," necessitating new simulation constructs focused on de-escalation despite aggressive geopolitical rhetoric.

Welcome back to the Point Cybersecurity Podcast! On this week's episode, Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepher are joined by a very special guest, Matt Lea, the creator of Cloud War Games. Matt Lea shares his unique journey in cybersecurity, beginning with hacking video games as a sixth grader and evolving into a career helping startups and cloud professionals prepare for real-world outages and cyber incidents. Together, they dive into the high stakes world of cloud incident response—discussing everything from the importance of collaborative problem-solving and building muscle memory for incident management, to the risks of data silos and the dangers of single points of failure within engineering teams. Matt Lea also sheds light on trends in cloud security, the rise of AI agents (and their pitfalls), and best practices for managing credentials, technical debt, and multi-cloud strategies. Whether you're curious about cloud-based cyber "war games," learning how to empower your junior engineers, or concerned about the evolving threats posed by agentic AI, this episode offers invaluable insights from the frontline of cybersecurity. Don't miss their stories, practical advice, and a dose of humor as they navigate the fast-changing digital landscape.

Quote: Ok, let's see how my attempt to tackle smaller topics more often actually goes. Can I get out one show/topic per quarter? That's my personal goal for the rest of 2025. Then I'll re-evaluate. FAIL Oh well, it was a noble goal. The reasons I didn't succeed in my goal are boring, so let's skip those. There's always next year, which isn't so far away! In this episode I do manage to bring my Norway topic to a conclusion, by playing not too many more games, but by seeing more films and going to this wonderful country. Like almost all traveling, it was a lovely experience. And like almost all my wargame explorations, I learned quite a lot. That's a win, in my book. Before I get to those games, movies, and travel, however, I use this opportunity to talk about my experience at SDHistCon last month. I'd been to this unique convention once before, and again it was a great experience. One of these days I hope to make it to the Circle DC event on the opposite coast, which sounds equally fantastic. For Norway, I was fortunate to visit in May, just in time for their national holiday. We arrived in Oslo and spent several days there. That included a side trip to Oscarsborg Fortress (Festning), which was instrumental in slowing down the German invasion and takeover of the capital & country. It's probably no exaggeration to say that the bold action of its commanding officer gave just enough time for the government and royal family to flee Oslo, ultimately forming a government-in-exile rather than one forced to surrender. Not to mention the evacuation of the nation's remaining gold reserves overseas, away from German hands (as happened in other countries). Guns of Oscarsborg Festning that fired across the narrow Oslofjord And here was the fire control room for the fixed torpedo tubes that stopped & sunk the invading Blucher cruiser The fortress museum has a great animated map of the entire event. Even in 2025 you can't always find the same things online. Oslo was an occupied capital for the entire war, and it contains a fantastic resistance museum. It made me think of the different ways countries were occupied, which ones had governments in exile, and other peculiarities. I also learned more about the various coastal raids that the British conducted in occupied Norway throughout the war. Films • Max Manus • The 12th Man • Suicide Mission • The Arctic Convoy • War Sailor • April 9th • Gold Run Outside and inside photos of the Hegra Festning (Fortres) that held out in northern Norway -Mark For my next topic I'm going to be looking at America's entry into WW2 in Europe, at least in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations. Here's the geeklist for it.
This week on The Wrestling Rewind, we dive headfirst into the biggest talking points shaping professional wrestling today. The Continental Classic returns — once again proving why pure wrestling still matters. We break down why AEW's C2 has become one of the most legitimate and refreshing tournaments in modern wrestling, standing out in an era overloaded with gimmicks. We also discuss the latest John Cena retirement tour news, including backstage rumors of a potential heel turn, celebrity involvement, and how WWE is handling the final chapter of one of the biggest stars in wrestling history. The conversation turns critical as we review WarGames and Blood & Guts, questioning whether these once-special matches have lost their impact through overuse and questionable timing. Plus, we tackle WWE's spiraling live event ticket prices, the long-term damage being done to the fanbase, and what this strategy says about TKO's future plans. Finally, we break down the industry-shaking news involving Warner Bros Discovery, Netflix, WWE, and AEW, discussing what a potential mega-deal could mean for the future of wrestling, streaming exclusivity, and whether the next wrestling war will be fought in boardrooms instead of rings.
Len, Nerium, and Mike kick back to highlight some of our favorite strategy and non-strategy games of 2025 that didn't make it to a full episode. There were how many Roman city-builders this year? And yes, sports management games do count as strategy. Even that one. Games discussed: Nova Roma Look Outside Lisa the Painful Total War Warhammer: Tides of Torment Skin Deep Ambrosia Sky Demonschool Phantom Brigade Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream Crusader Kings 3: All Under Heaven Mount & Blade 2: War Sails Cities Skylines 2 Victoria 3: Iberian Twilight Death Howl Heroes of Might & Magic: The Olden Era The Case of the Golden Idol Enigma Trilogy

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver settle into a wild mix of stories, opinions, and observations that only these two can deliver. The episode opens with a look at the shifting landscape of TV and wrestling distribution, which sends the conversation down a path that blends media changes with Kevin's dry, cutting perspective on how the business is adapting. It sets a tone that everything is on the table today. As the show gets moving, Kevin drifts into a run of personal stories that are funny, sharp, and sometimes unbelievable. A CPAP repair visit turns into a reflection on age. A routine oil change becomes a miniature saga about wiper blades and tire pressure. Long drives in the snow transform into beer math, cops in the rearview, and Kevin explaining how 18 beers somehow equals a quarter of the way to intoxicated. These stories flow fast, and they go places only Kevin can take them. From there, the conversation shifts into the world of wrestling. Kevin breaks down the physical reality of entrances, ring conditioning, performance rituals, and the small details most fans never get to hear. The talk deepens as they move to the mystery man from Survivor Series and the current discourse around wrestlers blowing up during matches. Kevin offers perspective that can only come from decades inside the ring and backstage. The episode also features a run of stories about legends like Harley Race and Andre, memories from the road, and reflections on working styles across generations. There are surprising detours involving stem cell treatments, Mad Men production errors, the structure of episodic wrestling, and what happens when you find yourself backstage with wrestlers who still believe in ritual and rhythm. Every few minutes brings something new that you did not see coming. By the end, the show swings from humor to industry insight to cultural commentary with a pace that feels effortless. Kevin and Sean move between TNA announcements, JCW talk, questions about who belongs under a hooded mask, and even a stark discussion about class and race in America. It is a heavy, hilarious, surprising, and wide ranging conversation that captures exactly why Kliq This remains one of the most unpredictable shows in wrestling media.

Dr. Steve Mancini: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-steve-m-b59a525/Marco Ciappelli: https://www.marcociappelli.com/Nothing Has Changed in Cybersecurity Since War Games — And That's Why We're in Trouble"Nothing has changed."That's not what you expect to hear from someone with four decades in cybersecurity. The industry thrives on selling the next revolution, the newest threat, the latest solution. But Dr. Steve Mancini—cybersecurity professor, Homeland Security veteran, and Italy's Honorary Consul in Pittsburgh—wasn't buying any of it. And honestly? Neither was I.He took me back to his Commodore 64 days, writing basic war dialers after watching War Games. The method? Dial numbers, find an open line, try passwords until one works. Translate that to today: run an Nmap scan, find an open port, brute force your way in. The principle is identical. Only the speed has changed.This resonated deeply with how I think about our Hybrid Analog Digital Society. We're so consumed with the digital evolution—the folding screens, the AI assistants, the cloud computing—that we forget the human vulnerabilities underneath remain stubbornly analog. Social engineering worked in the 1930s, it worked when I was a kid in Florence, and it works today in your inbox.Steve shared a story about a family member who received a scam call. The caller asked if their social security number "had a six in it." A one-in-nine guess. Yet that simple psychological trick led to remote software being installed on their computer. Technology gets smarter; human psychology stays the same.What struck me most was his observation about his students—a generation so immersed in technology that they've become numb to breaches. "So what?" has become the default response. The data sells, the breaches happen, you get two years of free credit monitoring, and life goes on. Groundhog Day.But the deeper concern isn't the breaches. It's what this technological immersion is doing to our capacity for critical thinking, for human instinct. Steve pointed out something that should unsettle us: the algorithms feeding content to young minds are designed for addiction, manipulating brain chemistry with endorphin kicks from endless scrolling. We won't know the full effects of a generation raised on smartphones until they're forty, having scrolled through social media for thirty years.I asked what we can do. His answer was simple but profound: humans need to decide how much they want technology in their lives. Parents putting smartphones in six-year-olds' hands might want to reconsider. Schools clinging to the idea that they're "teaching technology" miss the point—students already know the apps better than their professors. What they don't know is how to think without them.He's gone back to paper and pencil tests. Old school. Because when the power goes out—literally or metaphorically—you need a brain that works independently.Ancient cultures, Steve reminded me, built civilizations with nothing but their minds, parchment, and each other. They were, in many ways, a thousand times smarter than us because they had no crutches. Now we call our smartphones "smart" while they make us incrementally dumber.This isn't anti-technology doom-saying. Neither Steve nor I oppose technological progress. The conversation acknowledged AI's genuine benefits in medicine, in solving specific problems. But this relentless push for the "easy button"—the promise that you don't have to think, just click—that's where we lose something essential.The ultimate breach, we concluded, isn't someone stealing your data. It's breaching the mind itself. When we can no longer think, reason, or function without the device in our pocket, the hackers have already won—and they didn't need to write a single line of code.Subscribe to the Redefining Society and Technology podcast.

In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career extremely talented and iconic actor... Michael Madsen! Born in Chicago to a filmmaking and author mother and a veteran/firefighting father, this actor went against the grain during his rather chaotic upbringing and got his start in theater. Specifically with the Steppenwolf Theatre Company as John Malkovich's apprentice. His first noteworthy role being that of a small role in the science fiction film, WarGames. After that he continued acting in small roles for films and television shows until he eventually launched his career by playing Bump Bailey in The Natural (1984). He then went onto to starring in Quentin Taratino's directoral debut film, Reservoir Dogs, as Mr. Blonde. A role that quickly changed his status from actor to cultural icon. He later starred and worked in many films such as, Species (1995), The Getaway (1994), and Donnie Brasco (1997), Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) and 2 (2004), Sin City (2005), and many more. He also went onto winning a couple of awards, one being the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival for Best Actor for his role in Strength and Honor (2007) in 2008.

Solomonster reviews WWE Raw after Survivor Series as Triple H promised us an EPIC SHOW. We didn't get an epic show, but what we got was largely good stuff with Jey Uso and LA Knight fighting for the right to lose to Gunther in the finals of "The Last Time Is Now" tournament, while Gunther and Solo Sikoa had a MUCH better match than most people expected. Plus, Bron Breakker has a date for his World championship match with CM Punk and just cut his best promo yet, and Liv Morgan has already made it clear who the REAL leader of the Judgment Day is.***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
