Podcasts about Silicon Valley

A decade ago, most major tech companies swore off working with the U.S. military. Google, Meta and OpenAI even once had policies banning the use of AI in weapons. But times have changed, and now Silicon Valley is fully embracing contracts and collaborations with the military. Sheera Frenkel, tech reporter with the New York Times, explains how and why this shift occurred. Links: The Militarization of Silicon Valley Learn more about your ad choices.

Preaching, says Heath Hardesty, should do more than explain a passage of Scripture - it should take listeners on a journey that awakens thirst and points them to the living water of Christ. In this session, recorded at Valley Community Church in Pleasanton, California, Hardesty unpacks how the “arc” and the “through-line” of expository preaching bring sermons into harmony with the larger story of redemption.Drawing from John 7:37–39, he demonstrates how faithful exposition stirs a Spirit-given sense of need and satisfies the soul's ache in the gospel. The teaching weaves together theology, cultural insight, and pastoral wisdom, offering a vision of preaching that is unified, Spirit-led, and Christ-centred.About Heath HardestyHeath Hardesty serves as Lead Pastor of Valley Community Church in Pleasanton, CA, and is a founder of Inklings Coffee & Tea in the heart of downtown Pleasanton. He grew up in a blue-collar home and was a plumber's apprentice in Colorado before becoming a pastor on the edge of Silicon Valley, where he, his wife, and their four children now reside. Heath holds degrees in literature, leadership, biblical studies, and theology from the University of Colorado Boulder and Western Seminary in Portland.His forthcoming book, All Things Together: How Apprenticeship to Jesus Is the Way of Flourishing in a Fragmented World (with a foreword by Jon Tyson), will be released October 14, 2025.Pre-Order Heath's Book Here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/776336/all-things-together-by-heath-hardesty/For information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.

À Port-au-Prince, des habitants ont décidé de regagner leur domicile. Le gang « Viv Ansanm » promet de faire taire les armes pour permettre le retour des citoyens. Et la population a répondu à l'appel. Des retours qui traduisent la détresse des habitants, fatigués des conditions de vie dans les camps de déplacés, et la volonté de recommencer à vivre normalement malgré les risques.  Dans les quartiers de Solino, Delma 30 et Nazon, d'anciens habitants découvrent les dégâts laissés par la violence, d'autres, la joie de rentrer chez eux après avoir été chassés. Des comités locaux se sont déjà activés pour nettoyer les quartiers. Si du côté des autorités, c'est le silence total, des organisations de défense des droits humains dénoncent cette démarche. C'est le reportage de Peterson Luxama, notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince. Au Guyana, une élection sous tension Alors que le pays élit, ce lundi, son président, le média guyanais Kaieteur News revient sur une attaque qu'il qualifie « d'effrontée » et qui a eu lieu dimanche. Des responsables de la commission électorale ont été visés par des tirs venant de la frontière entre le Guyana et le Venezuela. Ils étaient en train de transporter une urne dans la région de l'Essequibo, à l'ouest du pays. Le territoire est riche en ressources naturelles et convoité par Caracas depuis des décennies. Kaieteur News fait le lien entre cet événement et la multiplication des attaques de gangs vénézuéliens sur le territoire guyanais. Et CNN Latinoamérica s'interroge : « Pourquoi ces élections suscitent-elles autant d'attention que celles d'une nation plus grande et plus active en termes géopolitiques ? » La réponse est simple. Le pays devrait connaître la plus forte croissance de production pétrolière au monde durant les dix prochaines années. En 2015, une compagnie pétrolière avait découvert un gigantesque gisement de pétrole. Mais ce n'est pas la seule raison de l'intérêt porté à cette journée, selon CNN Latinoamérica. Cette élection est la première d'une série de scrutins qui devraient changer la face du continent sud-américain entre aujourd'hui et 2026 et bouleverser les collaborations de la région avec les États-Unis. À lire aussiGuyana : une élection présidentielle sur fond de manne pétrolière Une réunion en urgence entre les pays d'Amérique du Sud Les États-Unis ont dépêché des navires de guerre à proximité du Venezuela la semaine dernière. Un pas de plus dans la lutte contre le trafic international de drogue menée par Donald Trump. Ce lundi, la Celac se réunit à la demande de la Colombie, qui en assure la présidence tournante. Le média El Colombiano refait le point sur cette rencontre dépêchée d'urgence. Les membres doivent évoquer la situation et rappeler le rejet total de l'ingérence dans la région. El Colombiano revient aussi sur la guerre que mène Donald Trump à Nicolas Maduro, et rappelle qu'il y a quelques semaines, Washington a augmenté la récompense pour la capture du chef d'État vénézuélien. La Maison Blanche le soupçonne d'être en lien avec les cartels. La nouvelle récompense s'élève à 50 millions de dollars. Pour le média d'opposition vénézuélien TalCual, les tensions avec les États-Unis ont atteint un point de non-retour. Il dénonce un déploiement militaire disproportionné pour lutter contre le trafic dans les Caraïbes. TalCual déplore la situation dans le pays où désormais, à l'inefficacité du gouvernement, la pauvreté et la corruption s'ajoutent la menace d'une intervention étrangère.  Medellín, future « Silicon Valley d'Amérique latine » Medellín, la capitale économique de la Colombie, a lancé un grand plan de transformation pour devenir « la Silicon Valley d'Amérique latine ». Les autorités et les entreprises mettent leurs forces en commun pour faire de Medellín un centre de technologie et d'innovation, une sorte de Medellín 4.0. Depuis la fin de la pandémie, les premiers changements sont notables, comme les immeubles de coworking et l'arrivée de nouvelles entreprises internationales. Même si le chemin est encore long, Medellín ne compte pas baisser les bras. C'est le dossier Amériques du jour de Najet Benrabaa, notre correspondante à Medellin.  Les femmes noires, principales victimes des coupes budgétaires de Donald Trump  Le New York Times met en Une les femmes noires, les principales victimes des coupes budgétaires de Donald Trump dans le gouvernement fédéral. Le quotidien américain dresse le portrait de quatre femmes afro-américaines, dont Peggy Carr. Elle est la première personne noire et la première femme à occuper le poste de commissaire du Centre national des statistiques de l'éducation. Après 35 ans de carrière, en février dernier, un officier de sécurité est monté dans son bureau, il lui a donné 15 minutes pour faire ses affaires et l'a escorté en dehors du bâtiment, devant ses collègues sous le choc. Dans chaque portrait, l'histoire se répète : des fonctionnaires remerciés quand Donald Trump a commencé à démanteler les agences d'État, trop woke, trop libérales à ses yeux. Selon le New York Times, depuis des décennies, le gouvernement fédéral sert d'ascenseur social aux Afro-Américaines, discriminées sur le marché du travail. Résultat des courses, à l'échelle nationale, plus de 300 000 femmes noires ont perdu leur emploi dans les secteurs public et privé depuis février 2025. Les hommes blancs, eux, ont enregistré le plus grand nombre d'emplois supplémentaires sur la même période aux États-Unis. Journal de la 1ère En Guadeloupe, comme sans doute dans tout l'outre-mer, la perspective d'un changement de gouvernement suscite la perplexité, pour ne pas dire l'inquiétude. 

A homicide investigation has rocked the final days of Burning Man after a man was found dead “lying in a pool of blood” Saturday night at the Nevada desert festival, according to the Pershing County Sheriff's Office. According to the New York Times, the grim discovery occurred around 9:14 p.m. just as the festival's iconic wooden “Man” effigy began its traditional burn. Also, customers, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Last week the chipmaker reported record revenue of $46.7 billion during the quarter that ended on July 27 — a 56% year-over-year increase largely driven by the AI data center boom.

In-Q-Tel (IQT) is a not-for-profit venture capital firm established in 1999 by the CIA (originally called Peleus and In-Q-It) to rapidly tap into cutting-edge technology emerging from the private sector. While funded by the CIA and designed to support U.S. intelligence needs, IQT operates as a legally independent entity dedicated to investing in firms that can enhance the capabilities of agencies like the CIA, DIA, FBI, NSA, NGA, and others, including international partners such as the UK and Australia. Its goal is not primarily financial returns, but to identify and integrate advanced technologies—ranging from AI, biotech, and cybersecurity to space systems—into national security infrastructure, effectively bridging the gap between government intelligence demands and Silicon Valley innovation.IQT has played a pivotal role in launching and supporting high‑impact companies. For example, it provided early funding and strategic access for Palantir, helping the company connect directly with intelligence analysts and refine its data‑mining tools for real‑world use. Over the years, IQT has reviewed thousands of business plans, made hundreds of investments (some publicly disclosed, many not), and built a global presence with offices in Menlo Park, Cambridge, London, Munich, Singapore, and Sydney. Though it doesn't prioritize profit—reportedly operating at losses while being heavily funded by CIA budget allocations—it has amassed over $1 billion in assets and remains one of the most influential players in defense tech venture capital.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://theintercept.com/2022/05/05/cia-venture-capital-inqtel-spac/

Jon Herold and Chris Paul kick off Saturday night with laughs before diving into the internet frenzy over Trump's supposed “death” and the viral body double theories that followed. They break down how online ops spin narratives, connecting the scare event to JD Vance's VP interview and Trump's dramatic return with a Truth Social post about White House limestone. From there, the hosts explore the Supreme Court fight over Trump's tariff powers, what it reveals about congressional authority, and how national emergencies expand presidential reach. They also cover Scott Pressler's push for mail-in ballot strategies, Mark Elias' panic over Trump's military role in elections, and Gavin Newsom's warning that Trump might cancel the 2026 midterms. The conversation widens to Palantir, Israeli AI programs like Lavender, and the military's partnership with Silicon Valley execs, raising sharp questions about tech, sovereignty, and the future of elections. With their signature mix of humor, sharp analysis, and rabbit holes, Jon and Chris deliver another deep-dive into politics, power, and the strange narratives shaping our world.

When somebody says “win-win” in Silicon Valley, check your pockets. It's usually some elaborate prelude to a sales pitch. And the only thing dodgier than a two-way win is the “win-win-win” narrative that my friend Keith Teare is selling this week. “User, Publishers and AI: Everybody Wins” is the title of Keith's That Was The Week newsletter this week. And to be fair, what he's selling is the dream of an AI world in which the publishers, consumers and manufacturers of information all win. Who wouldn't want that? Our conversation this week is built around the AI ethics showdown by Y Combinator and Andreessen Horowitz which has shaken Silicon Valley this week. The battle centers on whether AI agents should identify themselves when accessing publisher content - a seemingly technical question that reveals broader tensions about who controls information in the age of artificial intelligence. Y Combinator's Garry Tan called new authentication requirements an "axis of evil" while Andreessen Horowitz's Martin Casado argued they represent common sense infrastructure. But the ever-optimistic Keith (who seems to believe that all progress is good, even for its victims) thinks everyone can win - users, publishers and tech companies. Presumably even Garry Tan and Martin Casado. If you believe that, then I might have some beautiful, no-risk Las Vegas beachfront real-estate for you. 1. The "Axis of Evil" Fight Is Really About Anonymous Access When Y Combinator's Garry Tan attacked Cloudflare and Browserbase's AI authentication system as an "axis of evil," he revealed Silicon Valley's preference for consequence-free data harvesting. The technical dispute over AI agent identification masks a deeper question: should AI companies remain anonymous when accessing publisher content, or must they become accountable?2. Publishers Need Influence, Not Just Traffic The conversation exposed a crucial distinction between advertising models that require massive scale and sponsorship models that reward targeted influence. Quality audiences matter more than raw pageviews - an insight that could reshape how content creators think about monetization in the AI era.3. The "Virtuous Circle" Depends on AI Companies Acting Against Self-Interest Keith's vision of AI systems surfacing attribution links back to original sources requires companies to voluntarily complicate their user experience. Why would ChatGPT or Claude choose to send users away to read original articles when seamless summarization is their core value proposition?4. "Bad Publishers Deserved to Fail" Sidesteps Structural Questions Keith's argument that only inferior publishers lost to digital disruption ignores how entire categories of valuable journalism - particularly local news - faced structural economic challenges regardless of quality. This reveals the limitations of purely market-based explanations for technological displacement.5. Trust May Be Irrelevant in the Post-Truth Era My observation that "nobody cares about trust anymore" challenges the entire premise of authentication systems. If users don't demand source verification, then the economic incentives for Keith's proposed "trusted third party" infrastructure may not exist.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

WHAT DO YOU GET when you cross a tech billionaire with the gospel? Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, a company with multiple contracts with the U.S. government, will deliver a series of four lectures on the Antichrist in September and October. He recently gave an interview with Ross Douthat of The New York Times on the Antichrist. Why does a tech entrepreneur feel the need to expound at length on the great end times enemy of God and man? And why is he doing it off the record? Thiel's lectures are presented by the ACTS 17 Collective, a non-profit started by Michelle Stephens, wife of one of Thiel's partners, Trae Stephens, co-founder of Anduril. “Acts 17” is a reference to Paul's address to the people of Athens at Mars Hill (Acts 17:16–34). The group's stated mission is bring Jesus to Silicon Valley—a place where, until recently, it was a career-killer to openly express your faith in Christ. The irony is that through his investments in companies like Palantir and Anduril, both of which supply software and hardware to the United States government, including the military and Department of Homeland Security, Thiel is building the surveillance infrastructure needed to create the global government that will one day be ruled by the Antichrist. Also: Meta's AI chatbot found to encourage vulnerable teens to engage in self-harm, and new AI model based on the way the human brain works found to outperform ChatGPT and other Large Language Models.

It's only been a quarter century, but IN FORMATION magazine is now back. Published by David Temkin with the tagline “Every Day, Computers are Making People Easier to Use”, IN FORMATION was originally designed in 1998 as the “Anti-Wired” - a glossily skeptical anti-tech publication for Silicon Valley insiders. And now, as more tech hysteria grips the Valley, IN FORMATION has - like the promise of AI itself - magically reappeared. This third issue, costing the Orwellian sum of $19.84, features contributions from former Google VPs, cryptography experts, and Silicon Valley veterans like Temkin who helped build the original internet. The San Francisco-based Temkin, now at PayPal after stints at Apple and Google, sees AI as another "step function change" in the way that computers are, indeed, making people easier to use. Just in the nick of time, in my not-so-humble opinion. Everyone should subscribe. 1. The Power Dynamic Has Flipped Temkin's tagline "Every Day, Computers are Making People Easier to Use" captures how technology's original promise to empower users has reversed. What began as making computers accessible has evolved into making humans predictable and manipulable—from requiring "computer literacy" to creating addictive, frictionless experiences.2. AI Follows Historical Tech Patterns Temkin sees AI as another "step function change" following personal computers, the internet, and smartphones. He expects AI will likely crash before achieving mainstream success, similar to the dot-com bubble. The hype cycles are familiar, but the stakes may be higher.3. Insider Critique Beats Outside Commentary Information differentiates itself by featuring people who built these technologies—former Google VPs, cryptography experts, Apple engineers—rather than external cultural critics. Their perspective comes from understanding how the technology actually works and evolves from the inside.4. Physical Media as Resistance The magazine's tactile nature (160 pages, 1.3 pounds, $19.84) represents deliberate resistance to digital consumption patterns. Like vinyl's resurgence, physical magazines offer a curated, composed reading experience that screens can't replicate.5. The Stakes Have Escalated While the 1990s tech promises seemed "simultaneously laughable and very threatening," Temkin notes we've moved from early warning signals to full realization of those threats. AI represents another inflection point where the technology could be genuinely beneficial or catastrophically destructive—and unlike nuclear weapons, everyone has immediate access to experiment with it.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

From World Economic Forum elites and Silicon Valley execs to celebrities like Elon Musk and Paris Hilton to hippies and even maybe your co-worker, every year right before Labor Day, thousands take their vacation time to gather in the Nevada desert for something most would never expect, that is, Burning Man. On the surface, it looks like the ultimate art festival, tens of thousands gathering to build a city, celebrate creativity, and watch a giant wooden effigy go up in flames, but is that all that it is? Behind the radical costumes, the music, and the fire, there's a deeper story. A story of ritual, drugs, grief, and a search for meaning outside of God. What began in 1986 as a small bonfire on a San Francisco beach has grown into a worldwide phenomenon. But the question remains, what is really being celebrated in the desert?   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries  Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries  Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight

Unlock the secrets of hypergrowth in SaaS with Gaurav Bhattacharya in this electrifying kickoff of our podcast series, hosted by Lauren Hawker Zafer.

Former CIA officer and three-term Congressman Will Hurd joins Eric Newcomer, Tom Dotan, and Madeline Renbarger to break down Washington's defense tech boom and tackle the burning question: Is this all just hype? Hurd explains how Ukraine has changed the face of warfare and opened the door for new companies to break into the fold. However, it's one thing to build a prototype, but it's another to actually earn recurring revenue.We discuss how to really sell to the Pentagon, LA's role as a hub for the new defense tech wave, and Hurd's own Chaos Industries and their modular counter-drone systems.00:00 — Meet Will Hurd from CIA to Congress to Chaos06:00 — How Hurd would solve partisan redistricting13:24 — The defense-tech moment24:20 — Air superiority isn't dead36:32— How to sell to DoD

00:00:00 – Power Outages & Alex Jones Madness The show kicks off with banter about coffee, power outages, and how this is "the one" episode to watch. Alex Jones clips are then featured—ranging from chaotic rants, bizarre Thomas Jefferson misquotes, and wild conspiratorial tangents about Santa costumes and secret grand juries. 00:10:00 – Red-Eyed Aliens & Sleep-Deprived Man The hosts tease a future segment about red-eyed alien abductions involving a Muslim-Christian couple in Australia. They also speculate on the Flatwoods Monster's glowing red eyes and mention the finale of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. Then, a story is discussed about a UK man who claims to have been unable to sleep for two years, detailing his horrifying physical and mental deterioration. 00:20:00 – Comets, Conspiracies & Star Trek Parallels The conversation continues about the sleepless man before shifting to a baffling space object called 3I-ATLAS. It's discussed as possibly being a probe or alien craft, with a supposed leaked NASA memo suggesting it's under intelligent control. The team humorously compares it to Star Trek plots involving alien communication. 00:30:00 – Bigfoot Corpse at the State Fair A man named “Snake” claims to have found and displayed a Bigfoot corpse at the New York State Fair. The hosts express skepticism, noting the suspicious nature of the body and lack of video evidence. Local news coverage is played, showing the man's enthusiastic claims about battling Bigfoots and showcasing the corpse to fairgoers. 00:40:00 – Critique of the Bigfoot Body & State Fair Highlights Further discussion of the suspect Bigfoot corpse ensues. It's described as looking like a glued-together arts and crafts project. The hosts then shift to reviewing the New York State Fair offerings—deep-fried food, rooster crowing contests, and odd musical acts. A humorous critique of tribute bands and bizarre fair events follows. 00:50:00 – Skull with a Stalagmite & Mayo Firestarter The show shifts to a 300,000-year-old skull found in Greece with a stalagmite growing through it, puzzling scientists. Then, a man in Spain is arrested for setting a café on fire after being denied mayonnaise. The team jokes about male rage, potential mayo clinics, and cultural condiment preferences. 01:00:00 – Stablecoins, Chinese Students & AI Mayhem Discussion jumps to financial headlines, including stablecoins potentially draining bank deposits and Donald Trump proposing to allow 600,000 Chinese students into U.S. colleges. The team jokes about “China” using an old Trump clip. News is also covered about a Saudi-built Islamic AI chatbot and a hacker who used AI to conduct a massive cyberattack. 01:10:00 – AI-Powered Cybercrime & Tacos The cyberattack details are expanded, noting how a hacker used AI to write ransomware demands and find exploitable data. Then, attention turns to a taco-eating contest in San Antonio offering a $10,000 prize. The sign-up has already closed, disappointing the hosts. Joe is humorously nominated to compete. 01:20:00 – Taco Contest Fallout & Zuckerberg's Bunkers Further complaints about the closed taco contest continue. The show then dives into Mark Zuckerberg's massive compound in Palo Alto, where he handed out noise-canceling headphones to neighbors due to constant construction. The hosts mock the billionaire's efforts to maintain privacy while disrupting the neighborhood with “hydro floors” and private schools. 01:30:00 – Zuckerberg's Noise Diplomacy The crew wraps up their critiques of Zuckerberg's sprawling estate, suggesting his gestures like wine and doughnuts to neighbors are tone-deaf. There's some light commentary on his bizarre bunker expansions and the absurdity of Silicon Valley billionaires. 01:40:00 – Orgy Dome Controversy at Burning Man The team discusses a controversy involving someone being kicked out of the “Orgy Dome” at Burning Man for witnessing something disturbing. They mock the corporatization of Burning Man, suggesting brands like Little Caesars or Taco Cabana might soon sponsor the orgy tent. An Instagram photo of the dome's condition is referenced, and there's satire about how far the festival has strayed from its roots. 01:50:00 – Pumpkin Spice Chaos & White Elephant Nightmares A bizarre story unfolds about someone ordering 25 pounds of pumpkin spice online, leading to jokes about spice jungles and white elephant gifts. The team riffs on absurd workplace gift exchanges, packages with suspicious wrapping, and household pumpkin spice overloads—flavored water, scented air, and even garden tools. The hosts end on this autumnal madness with a final round of laughs.

John is joined by Avichal Garg, Managing Partner of Electric Capital and Chairman of the Crypto Council for Innovation, and Emily Kapur, Co-Chair of Quinn Emanuel's Blockchain & Digital Asset Litigation Practice and partner in the firm's Silicon Valley office.  They discuss the complex legal and regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrency, digital assets, and the intersection with emerging technologies like AI. The decentralization and autonomy of crypto systems challenges traditional legal concepts.  Crypto technology—ranging from permissionless innovation to autonomous systems—raises foundational legal questions about jurisdiction, liability, and personhood, especially when code may function as both speech and money.  While early legal battles focused on whether tokens are securities, today's disputes often focus on jurisdictional issues and cross-border liability for autonomous systems with governance distributed around the world. U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoins, while posing regulatory and competitive challenges, may also be an unparalleled tool for promoting U.S. soft power and economic influence.  They can bypass traditional banking systems and reach global users, reinforcing the dollar's dominance.  The recently enacted GENIUS Act provides a framework for regulating stablecoins in the U.S. without imposing restrictive reserve requirements, in contrast to European approaches. The rapid evolution of crypto trading venues—centralized exchanges like Coinbase, decentralized protocols like Uniswap, and traditional financial instruments such as ETFs and digital asset treasuries—highlight the legal uncertainty about which regulatory entities have jurisdiction.  The increasing use of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) poses additional challenges under theories that all participants in a DAO are potentially liable as partners in a joint venture. More legal innovation is needed, perhaps even entirely new legal entities or frameworks, to accommodate a future in which autonomous code can hold assets, transact, and potentially commit fraud.  Courts may begin to shape precedent in the absence of legislation, but a proactive regulatory approach or legal sandbox might be the key to responsibly managing these potentially disruptive forces. Ultimately, the question is whether the law will domesticate crypto or will crypto force legal innovation?Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

In the final years of his life, Jeffrey Epstein attempted to reinvent himself as a player in the surveillance and security-tech industry. Newly leaked emails from Ehud Barak's inbox show Epstein's interest in Reporty Homeland Security (now Carbyne) and his attempts to build ties with figures like Peter Thiel, former Israeli intelligence officials, and even individuals connected to Vladimir Putin's inner circle. Epstein used these connections to push into Silicon Valley through funds such as Valar Ventures and Founders Fund, while simultaneously promoting himself as a bridge between high-tech innovation, private wealth, and the geopolitics of surveillance.The leaks also reveal Epstein's maneuvering in Russia, where he connected Barak with Sergey Belyakov and presented himself as a nonpolitical facilitator able to skirt sanctions and open doors to oligarch networks. He circulated articles on cyberwarfare, emergency management, and Israeli Unit 8200 to maintain relevance in the intelligence conversation. Collectively, these documents portray Epstein as more than just a disgraced financier—he was actively embedding himself in the global spy-tech ecosystem right up until his downfall.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Inside Jeffrey Epstein's spy industry connections

Dr. Michael Timothy Bennett is a computer scientist who's deeply interested in understanding artificial intelligence, consciousness, and what it means to be alive. He's known for his provocative paper "What the F*** is Artificial Intelligence" which challenges conventional thinking about AI and intelligence.**SPONSOR MESSAGES***Prolific: Quality data. From real people. For faster breakthroughs.https://prolific.com/mlst?utm_campaign=98404559-MLST&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=mb***Michael takes us on a journey through some of the biggest questions in AI and consciousness. He starts by exploring what intelligence actually is - settling on the idea that it's about "adaptation with limited resources" (a definition from researcher Pei Wang that he particularly likes).The discussion ranges from technical AI concepts to philosophical questions about consciousness, with Michael offering fresh perspectives that challenge Silicon Valley's "just scale it up" approach to AI. He argues that true intelligence isn't just about having more parameters or data - it's about being able to adapt efficiently, like biological systems do.TOC:1.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy plans to sunset several outdated agency IT systems and consolidate technology management under a new program called 1DoT, according to a memo sent earlier this week. 1DoT, Duffy wrote, is meant to “unify” the department, whose components include the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The 1DoT initiative is supposed to eliminate redundancies and focus on “efficiency, accountability, and operational excellence,” Duffy explained in the email, which was viewed by FedScoop. The memo lays into myriad problems with the Transportation Department's $3.5 billion annual IT portfolio, calling its systems “outdated, expensive, and unsecure.” Duffy said: “This complicated web of technology is more than just a nuisance. Less efficiency means longer wait times for project completion, grants signed, or safety reviews conducted. Emil Michael, undersecretary of defense for researching and engineering and the Pentagon's CTO, has taken on the role of acting director of the Silicon Valley-headquartered Defense Innovation Unit in the wake of Doug Beck's resignation, DefenseScoop has learned. Beck unexpectedly resigned on Monday. The Defense Department has not provided an explanation for his sudden resignation. However, a defense official confirmed that Michael will fill the role and Michael Dodd has been appointed as the acting deputy director, saying they are “laser-focused on driving innovation and enhancing the Department's ability to deliver groundbreaking commercial technologies to empower the American warfighter.” Dodd has been a principal at DIU since December 2022. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump nominated him to be assistant secretary of defense for critical technologies, which falls under the Pentagon's R&E directorate.
