Podcasts about Ai

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the Joe Kent narrative was tracked in real time by AI following his Tucker Carlson interview, revealing that the exact clip and caption featuring the quote about Israelis driving the Iran decision flooded hundreds of accounts simultaneously within minutes. This amplification involved Russian state TV (RT), Iranian state media through HispanTV, Hamas-aligned Quds News Network, Turkish state broadcaster TRT, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Max Blumenthal. Like the Marxists, the Fascists have a sophisticated and massive propaganda operation. Kent's military record does not shield him from accountability for alleged wrongdoing. He is under FBI investigation for leaking information, a serious matter that should not be dismissed simply by criticizing the FBI's past failures. Also, the House Oversight Committee is investigating nonprofit organization Creator Collective for potential violations of campaign finance disclosure rules through its Chorus program. This initiative pays Democratic-aligned political influencers up to $8,000 per month to promote party talking points on social media. The committee describes the activities as a "disturbing pattern" aimed at evading transparency requirements. Later, the Democrats have repeatedly blocked funding legislation for key federal agencies including the TSA, Coast Guard, Secret Service, and FEMA, resulting in a government shutdown that has left these workers unpaid and unable to cover mortgages or medical bills. Democrats refuse to support them; they prioritize benefits and amnesty for illegal immigrants over American citizens and essential security personnel, deliberately creating chaos at airports and elsewhere to gain political power. Afterward, the Save America Act is a straightforward measure to ensure honest elections by restricting voting to Americans only. No, it doesn't discriminates against Black people or married women - it prevents illegal voting practices such as non-citizens voting, double voting, voting in wrong locations, or voting using deceased people's names.

Naomi Klein saw where our politics was headed before most people on the left. Her 2023 book “Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World” is hard to describe. But among other things, it traces the new coalitions Klein saw forming on the right, the ways they were co-opting issues long associated with the left, and finding huge audiences and influence outside existing institutions. The people and coalitions that Klein wrote about run our world now. We are all living in the mirror world. As she put it, it's “doppelgangers at the wheel.” So I wanted to have Klein on the show to help understand how that happened, what the left failed to see at the time and the lessons the left should take from it now. As Klein told me: “The thing about doppelgangers is, in literature, they're always a message telling you a warning: You have to look at yourself. There's something about yourself that you're not seeing.” Note: We recorded this episode before the war in Iran.

President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are demanding “more patriotic” coverage of the widening war in Iran. On this week's On the Media, hear how the Pentagon is cracking down on its publication, Stars and Stripes. Plus, fake AI images of the Iran war are proliferating, and they're getting more convincing. [01:00] Host Micah Loewinger breaks down the calls from the Trump administration for the media to produce “patriotic” coverage of the war in Iran. Plus, a closer look at the reporting by legacy outlets with journalist Minnah Arshad.  Arshad analyzed The New York Times' early coverage of the war, and found that Iranian victims were underrepresented. Next, Micah sits down with scholar Mahsa Alimardani to discuss fake AI images of the Iran conflict, and how AI detection tools are being used to discredit authentic footage. [22:30] Micah speaks with Samantha Gross, the director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at the Brookings Institution, to dissect the developing energy crisis being caused by the disruption of oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz. [37:54] Host Brooke Gladstone talks to Erik Slavin, Editor-in-Chief of Stars and Stripes, the independent, award-winning newspaper that has served the military for roughly a century, about the Pentagon's plan to crack down on their reporting and refocus their content away from “woke distractions.”  Further reading / watching: “First Draft: How the Media Manufactures Consent for War,” by Minnah Arshad and Andrew Perez “How AI Content Detection is Being Weaponized in the Iran War,” by Shirin Anlen and Mahsa Alimardani “The Fake Images of a Real Strike on a School,” by Mahsa Alimardani “Why Iran's disruption of the Strait of Hormuz matters,” by Samantha Gross, Caitlin Talmadge, and Melanie W.

What is the psychology behind how the human brain constructs reality? When David Eagleman fell twelve feet off a roof as a child, the entire fall lasted just 0.6 seconds, yet his brain made it feel like an eternity. That moment sparked a lifelong curiosity about the brain and how it constructs perception, ultimately leading him to Stanford and a career in neuroscience. In this episode, David reveals the science of time perception, brain plasticity, and sensory substitution, and why the human brain is far more powerful and expandable than you ever imagined. In this episode, Hala and David will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (01:26) A Childhood Fall That Revealed Time Perception (06:46) How the Brain Constructs Reality  (10:33) Hidden Senses the Human Brain Is Missing (16:46) What Is Brain Plasticity and Livewiring? (27:50) Sensory Substitution and Expanding Human Senses  (36:29) The Psychology Behind Why Humans Dream (42:02) Where Science Meets Spirituality and Religion  (48:47) The Future of Livewired Technology (51:39) Why Human Intelligence Still Outsmarts AI David Eagleman is a neuroscientist at Stanford University, a bestselling author, and the founder of Neosensory and BrainCheck. He is the writer and presenter of the international PBS series The Brain with David Eagleman and The Creative Brain on Netflix. His bestselling book Livewired reveals how the brain adapts in real time, reshaping our understanding of perception, consciousness, and human psychology.

Nick Koumalatsos, Marine Raider, returns for the final segment of Episode 283. The discussion examines the Epstein case as a form of systemic leverage, followed by a critical assessment of U.S. strikes in Iran—questioning underlying motives, strategic interests, and broader implications. They address the rapid integration of AI in warfare, including autonomous targeting and the diminishing role of human judgment in combat. The conversation also considers the potential for SOCOM to operate as its own branch, along with emerging ideas around energy and recovery that remain outside mainstream focus.

Republicans are failing us on Big Tech, the surveillance state, privacy, land ownership, quality of life, and transhumanism, and they are allowing Democrats to win on those issues. From Meta's smart glasses with facial recognition to mass surveillance through FISA, flock cameras, and AI data centers, this episode uncovers how privacy, property rights, and human freedom are being eroded in real time. But it goes deeper than politics. This is about the collapse of the free market, the rise of crony capitalism, and how the misuse and gaslighting of generative artificial intelligence is degrading human intelligence, productivity, and quality of life. For the first time, I share my theory on why the free market has broken down thanks to government and stock valuations and how that has led to a generation of new technology resulting in human decline rather than flourishing.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Are we sleepwalking into an economic disaster? I'm joined by economist and energy expert Tracy Shuchart, who breaks down why America's fragile, debt-ridden economy will struggle to sustain a $200 billion war with Iran. We explain why, despite the good intentions of dealing with Iran, the U.S. is not economically prepared for war — and how oil shocks, stagflation, and runaway debt could trigger a financial crisis. Tracy makes the point that we should focus more on oil refineries and pipelines, which are even more important than increased oil drilling. Separately, I tackle how Trump is both retreating on immigration and making the issue unpopular. Also, he is focused on the wrong issues with AI and is more interested in building the surveillance state than a healthy, broad-based economy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the ultimate goal of customer experience isn't to create a memorable moment, but to deliver an outcome so seamless and intuitive that the customer doesn't remember the experience at all? Agility requires brands to pivot from building complex, memorable journeys to engineering simple, almost invisible pathways to customer outcomes.Today, we're going to talk about a counterintuitive but powerful idea: that the future of customer experience is not about creating more elaborate experiences, but about radically simplifying them to the point where they become forgettable—in a good way. We'll explore how focusing on effortless outcomes and leveraging AI to enable simplicity can become a measurable growth strategy.

That's at least what leaders are saying on the Hill. If it takes beyond Easter, they say they won't return home until Democrats agree to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and other essential Homeland Security functions. But that's not all. The SAVE Act has made it to the Senate floor, so now what? Senator Marsha Blackburn returns to discuss it as well as her partnership with the President to begin a discussion about federal oversight of AI. Meanwhile, red state governors are fighting the good fight. Hear from Missouri's Governor Mike Kehoe on his successful push to put eliminating the state's sales tax on voter's ballots this year. To his south, Governor Sarah Sanders of Arkansas kept it classy as yet another restaurant she visited turns vicious over politics. Plus, the Japanese Prime Minister and press corps visit the White House and President Trump lands a hilarious line in response to criticism over the strike on Iran. A new film is out on April 3rd you'll likely love called "A Great Awakening." Stigall talks with the filmmaker behind the project.

David and Nilay start the show by exploring the increasing disconnect between the people who make AI products, and the people who keep saying they don't want them. (Or, at least, don't want to pay for them.) The AI industry is starting to retrench to a business-first approach, because there's simply no killer app for it yet. Speaking of no killer apps! Allison Johnson then joins the show to talk about the shockingly short life of the Samsung TriFold, and her bizarre journey to try and review the now-dead foldable. Finally, in the lightning round, it's time for Brendan Carr is a Dummy, the fate of the metaverse, and some important internet debunking.

compared to Dan's slow hip recovery Failed attempt to make grout white leads to spray-painted grass jokes A school once painted dead grass before photos or events Listener says Teslas become

BuzzBall talk leads to spotting them all over gas stations and Wawa Massive Sunoco on 1792 gets praised for weird inventory and giant BuzzBall display Independent gas stations are celebrated for craft beer, pipes, knives, sex toys, and random junk Kenny the Pervert voicemail kicks off genie loophole debate They argue whether a third wish for a new genie beats the no-more-wishes rule Robin Williams in Aladdin becomes the gold standard for genie law The show spirals into shortcut culture, cheating systems, and loophole fantasies Kalshi and betting markets raise questions about insider info and unfair edges They debate whether success comes from hard work or spotting an edge early Tom and Dan say early podcasting worked because they understood audience value before others did Live event turnout proved engaged listeners mattered more than old radio numbers Gambling gets compared to everyday decisions based on limited information Dan admits risk decisions about hip recovery can trigger anxiety Hip replacement lowered his baseline anxiety by removing constant pain DeBary Joe calls in while secretly smoking weed with his partner's parents visiting for five weeks They debate younger people saying partner instead of boyfriend or girlfriend An audiobook voice interrupting the voicemail causes chaos Fingerprint science argument turns into refusing to fact-check on principle McDonald's nostalgia covers menu songs, PlayPlaces, birthday parties, and old jingles They wonder whether any McDonald's still offers birthday parties McDonald's once felt like a real family destination, not a trashy party choice Kids would still love a McDonald's birthday party even if parents judged it PlayPlaces, Ronald McDonald, liability, and staffing help explain why parties faded away Las Vegas voicemail asks if bringing an escort to a company party would get someone fired They joke that a high-end escort would blend in better than a movie-style hooker Male escorts, gigolos, and Deuce Bigalow get dragged into the conversation Prostitution talk pivots into a MyEternalVitality.com ad with Dr. Powers Hormone therapy is pitched for fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and low

four movies and the original Miami setting Martin Lawrence's public breakdown leads to debate over stress versus drug use They argue drugs are usually behind the most extreme celebrity meltdowns Bad Boys was originally set up for Dana Carvey and John Lovitz They say Will Smith and Martin Lawrence made the movie work despite a weak script John Lovitz once visited the studio, brought his dog, and

pins Big roadside billboards used to feel magical, especially the old Universal E.T. sign Digital billboards feel less memorable and less effective than old practical ones They question whether billboard ads really work, even after trying them Reddit story about a fake-working security guard sneaking into concerts and games for free They debate whether the scam is harmless until greed pushes it too far More scam talk includes hacked cards, bank robbery stories, old discount perks, and surviving on corporate crumbs Forgotten Hooters cards, dead ad accounts, and leftover company resources

In this episode, I explore skillful concentration, the final aspect of the Eightfold Path, using a road trip analogy where concentration is like having steady hands on the wheel. I clarify that concentration is distinct from mindfulness, doesn't require hours of meditation, and is characterized by joy, not seriousness. I discuss the five hindrances—sensory desire, aversion, dullness, restlessness, and doubt—as obstacles to concentration, likening them to road hazards, and explain how to work with them by recognizing them as information. I also touch upon the jhanas as progressive states of concentration, from joy to equanimity, and offer practical advice on developing concentration by gradually increasing focus time, choosing an object of attention, and gently redirecting the mind when it wanders, emphasizing that concentration is a skill cultivated through consistent, gentle effort rather than force.Explore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.

In this episode, I explore skillful mindfulness, the seventh aspect of the Eightfold Path, using analogies like a permanently attached camera and a train station to illustrate its core principles. I emphasize that mindfulness isn't about stopping thoughts but about developing the capacity to observe them without being swept away, akin to sitting on a bench and watching trains come and go. Key takeaways include understanding mindfulness as awareness, acceptance, and discernment, and recognizing its practical application in everyday transitions and tasks. This practice matters because it counters the constant demand for our attention, offering clarity and choice, ultimately allowing us to be more awake and responsive to our lives rather than living on autopilot.Explore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.

This week on Second Helpings, Jackie and MJ are joined by Ed Larson, and there's an announcement about Brighter Side future, Ed and Jackie convinced MJ to watch the "Inside the Manosphere" doc by Louis Theroux and it's a beautiful view into the toxicity of the culture, and HBO Max's hilariously depressing "Neighbors" only has one more episode! Afroman continues to victory lap following the bogus 2022 raid and winning a recent defamation lawsuit, the Buffy reboot has been axed by the network, but Scrubs reboot is here to remain, much like the rumor that Zach Braff is dating an AI chatbot. Julia Fox had to give a dissertation on the movie "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" because Vanity Fair hired an "influencer" who just wanted to talk about how annoying the kid was. BWW's has an Espresso Proteini abomination they are threatening to unleash on us all, Hidden Valley Ranch is callin' on ranchheads to spread ranch far and wide by traveling abroad and eatin' ranch on everything in front of everyone, and Taco Bell comin' out with an edible hot sauce packet, then Ed gets tips on how to travel with Holden, plus even more on this week's Second Helpings!

Junk mail seems like a relic of another era. Physical ads showing up in your mailbox feel easy to ignore in a world dominated by digital marketing. Yet companies still spend billions sending those mailers every year. Why? Because for certain groups of people, those pieces of mail are surprisingly effective — far more than you might expect. https://www.uspsoig.gov/sites/default/files/reports/2023-01/RISC-WP-20-009.pdf Artificial intelligence is suddenly everywhere — writing emails, answering questions, summarizing documents, and even helping people make decisions. But should we trust it? Linguist Emily Bender, a professor at the University of Washington and one of the world's leading voices urging caution about AI hype, argues that we may be misunderstanding what these systems actually do. Named to the inaugural TIME 100 list of the most influential people in AI, she explains why tools like ChatGPT can appear intelligent while operating very differently from human thinking. She is co-author of The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want (https://amzn.to/3P1v6tn) and she offers an important perspective on how we should — and shouldn't — rely on AI. Humans have been drinking alcohol for thousands of years, and despite the well-known risks, it remains deeply embedded in cultures around the world. Why do people drink in the first place? Is alcohol simply a dangerous toxin, or does it serve psychological or social purposes that help explain its enduring appeal? Dr. Charles Knowles, Professor of Surgery at Queen Mary University of London and Chief Academic Officer at Cleveland Clinic London, brings both scientific expertise and personal experience to the discussion. Having struggled with alcohol dependency himself, he explores what alcohol does inside the body and brain, why some people develop problems while others do not, and how our culture shapes the way we think about drinking. He is the author of Why We Drink Too Much: The Impact of Alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture (https://amzn.to/4b8HHCd). Razor blades are small, simple pieces of metal — yet they often cost far more than people expect. You may even notice they're locked behind glass at many stores. Why are they so expensive, and why haven't competitors driven prices down? Several companies have tried to disrupt the razor business but it hasn't gone as well as many consumers hoped. https://www.forbes.com/sites/andriacheng/2018/01/24/pgs-gillette-woes-have-translated-to-this-good-news-for-consumers/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS POCKET HOSE: Text SYSK to 64000 for your two free gifts with the purchase of any Pocket Hose Ballistic hose!

In line with the Pentagon's ambitions to build an “AI-first warfighting force,” earlier this year, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded unrestricted use of Anthropic's Claude model. Anthropic had concerns. Now the two parties are engaged in a legal battle that could shape the future of AI safety. Kimberly talks with Justin Hendrix, CEO and editor of Tech Policy Press, to explain Anthropic's lawsuit and why this could signal a turning point in the tech industry's chummy relationship with the Trump administration.

P.M. Edition for Mar. 19. Earlier this week, Joe Kent resigned as the White House's chief counterterrorism officer because he opposes the Iran war. WSJ White House correspondent Natalie Andrews discusses how that's exposing a fault line within President Trump's base.

STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW WITH ALAN TONELSON AND JIM MCTAGUE, 3-19-26NOVEMBER 1932The provided transcript features a discussion on the John Batchelor Show regarding the global economic and geopolitical crises stemming from conflict in the Middle East. The participants analyze how rising energy prices and the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz are driving inflation and threatening a global recession. They specifically examine the Trump administration's response to Iranian aggression and the resulting strain on European allies facing exorbitant fuel costs. The conversation transitions into the transformative role of AI, debating whether the technology will cause mass layoffs or serve as a vital productivity tool. While some speakers view AI as a creative partner for future entrepreneurs, others express skepticism regarding its accuracy and the privacy risks of digital surveillance. The dialogue concludes by weighing the immediate dangers of war against the long-term, unpredictable shift toward an automated economy. (1)
