Kimi K3: The AI Sputnik Moment | Alex Wissner-Gross on China's Open-Weight Bombshell | EP272

An emergency episode cut from a Moonshots Podcast panel, reduced to Alex Wissner-Gross on what China's Kimi K3 open weight release actually means. His read: the published architecture has no magic in it, just a recognizable transformer with well understood mixture of experts and linearized attention work, and it still lands third on the Artificial Analysis cost versus capability frontier behind Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol Max. That raises his central question, what American frontier labs are spending all their money on. He argues chip export controls backfired by forcing Chinese labs to burn through the efficiency overhang early, rejects the distillation explanation as not smelling right, and reconstructs the Moonshot founder chronology to argue this was never an immigration failure. The extrapolations run from daily frontier releases by January and sub one bit quantization going mainstream, to hyper forecasters crowning the efficient market hypothesis, orbital data centers, and PLA humanoids. His recommendation is to out ship the next Kimi rather than block it from Hugging Face, and to become the arsenal of superintelligence instead of building a FINRA like cartel under the SEC.

The Basement: Jeremy Corbell | Betrayal, Surveillance, and the Secret Higher Than Nuclear Weapons

Four hours with Jeremy Corbell, the filmmaker who put a camera in front of Bob Lazar for the first time and later released the Navy UAP footage the Pentagon confirmed was real. The first ninety minutes are not about UFOs at all: a jiu-jitsu instructor nearly killed by valley fever, an art career he backed into by salvaging doors out of Santa Monica demolition sites, seventy two hours in a Prague holding cell, and eight years of fixing John Lear's toilets and smuggling him cigars as the entry fee to UFO disclosure. The second half is a detailed account of interference, including the false friendship playbook he says intelligence officers run on him, solicitation attempts he calls legal entrapment, a nine month ODNI investigation he now considers a ruse, a congressional hearing he says was rigged the night before, and a federal agency handing his family safety protocols. He also walks the Nimitz Tic Tac case and the 2019 Navy swarm in full detail, and explains why he was told UAP is classified above weapons of mass destruction: the energy needed for the observed performance is itself a weapon.

The Night They Wiped Out The World's Free Energy Forever

A 36 minute narrated investigation that takes the Carrington Event of 1 September 1859 and asks what else happened on the ground that night. The official story is clean: Richard Carrington saw a white flash from his observatory at Redhill, a coronal mass ejection arrived about 17 hours later, telegraph lines sparked, caught fire, and in the famous Boston to Portland case kept transmitting after the operators pulled the batteries. The narrator's question is what happened to every other piece of metal on Earth, specifically the forest of spires, finials, and copper tipped rods on nearly every church, station, hotel, and university on the planet. He argues those structures were often ungrounded and wired into internal frameworks that terminate at fixtures in every major room, which is not a safety device but a distribution network, and then walks the thirty years after 1859 in which they came down, architectural manuals stopped mentioning them, rooftop maintenance job titles faded out of institutional records, and Maxwell and Hertz wrote the theory of electricity that had no place for them. Tesla, begun at Wardenclyffe in 1901, is read as a man trying to rebuild rather than invent. The page rebuilds all of it in the film's own order and frame, keeps every date, name, and building, and puts the honest ledger at the end: Carrington's real 'one swallow does not make a summer' caution, the Kew magnetograph, Elias Loomis's hundreds of collected aurora accounts, the 1878 Lightning Rod Conference, the copper demand curve, Haussmann and the Chicago fire, and the 2 picoamps per square metre that decide whether a spire can harvest anything at all.

Three Crises Are About to Collide Into One Giant Crash

A long live episode of The Tom Bilyeu Show, taped the morning the United States launched its biggest strikes on Iran since the ceasefire began, arguing that three crises are lining up to hit at once. Bilyeu walks through the energy and geopolitics shock keeping oil high, a debt and currency crisis where Japan raising rates threatens to unwind the yen carry trade that has flooded the world with cheap money, and a possible AI bubble whose revenue is arriving too slowly for its debt. He frames all three as a potential rogue wave using the real version of the boy who cried wolf, then covers the Graham Platner allegations, the Mitch McConnell disappearing act, and the opening of the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing, where he and his cohosts find their algorithms feeding them opposite realities.

The Price of Not Thinking | Why Civilizations Fail

Aperture combines two essays into a feature length argument about why intelligent groups make catastrophic decisions. Part one traces the death of critical thinking to group think and cognitive offloading, the habit of handing memory to Google, navigation to GPS, and now thinking itself to AI. Part two turns documentary, bringing in four researchers to walk through the evidence: collapsing IQ scores in the reverse Flynn effect, attention spans that fell from two and a half minutes to forty seven seconds, an MIT brain scan study showing ChatGPT writers retain less and barely recognize their own words, and a five hundred year old blood libel that shows what a new information technology does to a public that cannot tell print from truth. The thesis is that critical thinking is a muscle a society can lose in a single generation, and the closing note hands the keys back to the viewer, arguing the same tools can be turned back into instruments of thought.

Joe Rogan Experience #2522 - Tony Hinchcliffe

Joe Rogan and Kill Tony host Tony Hinchcliffe talk for nearly three hours with no plan and no thesis, braiding the impossible machine that prints computer chips into charity as a scam, a rap-music conspiracy, cough syrup, and mob-run Youngstown. The middle is a loving tour of combat sports and the case that wrestling is the foundation of everything, from Khabib to youth weight classes. The back half turns to comedy and media, the Kevin Hart roast fallout, the joke that made Hinchcliffe a national villain, why he and Shane Gillis turned down the Saudi money nobody knows they refused, and why the news now lives on X instead of television. It ends on a Kanye West stadium show Hinchcliffe calls the greatest production he has seen and on Pink Floyd syncing to The Wizard of Oz, with a running argument that outrage is a product and the healthiest thing to do is log off and make people laugh.

Shawn Ryan Show

Candace Owens - "I Don't Believe Tyler Robinson Was Even There" | SRS #318

In the longest interview on the site, four hours and forty four minutes, Shawn Ryan hosts Candace Owens for a conversation that runs in two halves. The front half is her case about the killing of her friend Charlie Kirk: she tells Ryan she does not believe Tyler Robinson was the shooter, disputes the public account of the wound, and argues the motive traces to Israel and a phone call she attributes to Benjamin Netanyahu. The back half is her life story, from a childhood in Connecticut and a viral video through Turning Point USA, PragerU, and her exit from The Daily Wire, to the independent show she runs now. She also covers her conversion to Catholicism, a trip to Russia, and a worldview that runs through Freemasonry and the occult. Every claim is attributed to the speaker who made it, with a closing section separating established record from contested claims and speculation.

The Roman Forum with Roman Yampolskiy

Nate Soares on P(Doom), Alien Superintelligence, Human Enhancement, and the Future of AI

MIRI president Nate Soares argues that value alignment is solvable in principle but nowhere near solvable with today's methods, so racing to build superintelligence that nobody understands ends with everyone dead. He and host Roman Yampolskiy work through the orthogonality thesis, whether an aligned mind could correctly choose omnicide, how far away alien superintelligences probably are, and why the Fermi paradox rules AI out as the Great Filter. Soares puts the probability of a rushed superintelligence killing literally everyone at 50 percent or more, and lays out his proposal to shut the race down globally using chip controls, treaties, and if needed sabotage. His escape hatch is human enhancement: buy decades, then make humans smart enough to solve alignment the way nuclear physics finally made it possible to turn lead into gold.

The Supreme Court Just Opened a Backdoor for China

A two hour live episode of The Tom Bilyeu Show recorded the morning after the Supreme Court closed its term with three rulings: it let states bar transgender athletes under Title IX, struck limits on party coordinated political spending, and preserved birthright citizenship against Trump's executive order. Bilyeu argues that last ruling leaves a backdoor for China through organized birth tourism, which is why Trump sarcastically congratulated Xi Jinping, and he floats worldwide income taxation as a fix. The wide ranging conversation runs through court reform, JD Vance on refilling the oil economy, a DSA primary win in Colorado, Mamdani's New York budget versus Florida abolishing property taxes, and the Charlie Kirk forensic questions. The deepest segment argues the real story is an AI arms race in which China uses model distillation and open source to erode the American industry propping up the economy, and closes on whether AI destroys more jobs than it creates.

Dr. Mayim Bialik

PSYOP Expert: Ancient Texts Reveal Hidden Truth About Reality & Why You Don’t Die | Chase Hughes

Psyops and behavioral profiling specialist Chase Hughes joins Mayim Bialik and Jonathan Cohen for a wide conversation that runs from mass persuasion to mysticism. In the first half he argues that outrage driven media and left versus right politics are engineered division, lays out his FATE model of influence (focus, authority, tribe, emotion), calls the way governments handled COVID the biggest psyop of our lifetime, and says separation is the ingredient that manufactures a psychopath. In the second half he turns to oneness, a five hour intravenous DMT session he took to treat two brain diseases, a laser experiment he says reveals a static code behind the wall, and an AI reading of nearly two hundred ancient texts whose most repeated phrase is do not fear. It closes on a four step prayer formula and a round of quotes from Jesus, Rumi, Kabbalah, and quantum physics all pointing at the same idea that we are not separate.

Iran Is About to Control the World's Oil — and You'll Pay for It

A nearly two hour live episode of The Tom Bilyeu Show recorded as a United States and Iran ceasefire came apart again. Bilyeu argues Iran is negotiating through violence to seize the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint for roughly 20 percent of the world's oil, and that if it succeeds it will charge tolls and raise energy costs everywhere. He uses Ukraine knocking 20 percent of Russian refining offline as a live preview, then turns the same mechanism lens on the California billionaire wealth tax, the productivity to wages split, 30 percent inflation, Europe's deadly heatwave and its refusal to allow air conditioning, and entitlement fraud. His organizing idea is that every grievance has a mechanism, and that anger aimed at the wrong mechanism makes the problem worse.

The Real Story Behind the Government GPT 5.6 Freeze.

Nate B Jones argues that OpenAI's government-restricted rollout of ChatGPT 5.6 isn't the real story on its own. It's one of five signals from the same week, alongside the new Siri, Anthropic's Claude Tag in Slack, Z.AI's GLM 5.2, and an OpenAI Codex adoption study, that all point to the same underlying fight: not which model is smartest, but which system actually knows what's going on. He walks through how Apple, Anthropic, and OpenAI are each racing to connect AI to context (personal, team, and file respectively) rather than just raising raw intelligence, then argues the government's cybersecurity freeze on frontier models is quietly handing open source models room to close the public capability gap even as the labs likely keep their private lead.

"If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies" - Nate Soares

Nate Soares, president of MIRI, lays out the thesis of his book with Eliezer Yudkowsky, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: AI companies are racing to build machines smarter than any human, those machines are grown rather than programmed, nobody knows how to make them care about us, and the likely result is extinction by indifference rather than malice. Peter McCormack tests the argument rather than nods along, pressing on the alignment problem, the point of no return where AI can turn us off before we can turn it off, and the safety thresholds every other industry lives by. The interview's sharpest move lines up the 10 to 25 percent chance the AI CEOs themselves quote against the tiny fractions of a percent the FDA, NASA, and the Manhattan Project treat as unacceptable. Soares walks through documented lab misbehavior, the simulation argument, and the Fermi paradox, then argues winning looks like a Cold War style treaty that halts the race to super intelligence while keeping consumer AI. His closing image: the bus is heading for a cliff, but the driver is asleep, so do not give up before the driver wakes.

Joe Rogan Experience #2518 - Tim Dillon

Joe Rogan spends two hours and thirty nine minutes with comedian Tim Dillon in a sprawling, subject hopping conversation that runs from cigarettes and Buc-ee's to Los Angeles burning, UK speech arrests, and immigration as a hedge against an AI disrupted economy. It swings through Peter Thiel's Antichrist lectures, a DMT research project mapping psychedelic entities, the Book of Enoch, an Iranian drone swarm and the CIA's disputed quantum heartbeat detector, then lands on the White House UFC card where a fighter declared Michelle Obama a man, Bari Weiss's takeover of CBS News, and the Israel Iran war. Dillon's throughline across nearly every story is the same move: take the official explanation, then ask who actually benefits if the real reason is something else, closing with a bet on who wins in 2028.

How The Fed Quietly Created America's Communist Moment

A two hour Tom Bilyeu Show episode arguing that the rise of openly socialist Democrats is the downstream effect of a broken money system Bilyeu traces to the 1913 Federal Reserve and the 1971 end of the gold standard. He and co host Drew debate Zohran Mamdani and the DSA, why populism spikes when the economy hurts, who really subsidizes cheap Walmart wages, whether Trump should send the DOJ after big oil, and how the government plans to inflate away a national debt he puts above 39 trillion dollars. It closes on a long, candid argument about Muslim immigration, a Michigan flag ban, and whether America is a Christian country. The through line is Bilyeu's one rule: follow cause and effect.

Reparation & Systemic Racism Debate | Andrew Wilson vs Austin Offscript

A two hour RattlesnakeTV debate on reparations and systemic racism between Austin Offscript, arguing for reparations, and Andrew Wilson, arguing against. Austin builds a three premise case: the government caused measurable harm, justice requires restitution, therefore restitution is owed. Andrew concedes the historical harm but attacks the argument from inside, contesting definitions and calling the logic self contradictory. Both men argue heavily from Christian scripture and clash over welfare, taxes, the wealth gap, and whether the Exodus story models reparations or punishment. This page reconstructs the full debate in order and attributes every claim to the speaker who made it.

The End of Unrestricted AI: Why Claude Fable 5 Was Just Forced Offline

Nate B Jones files from a plane after Anthropic takes its most advanced model, called Fable 5 in the video, offline to comply with a US government order blocking foreign access to it and a second model called Mythos 5. He reads the order in three layers: a safety case resting on a reported jailbreak pathway, a legal fig leaf in the phrase foreign nationals that acts as a full shutdown for a globally deployed company, and a business reality that makes the freeze temporary. The larger point is that frontier model access has become a policy surface, so model launches now become deployment questions about who is allowed to use them. He predicts the model returns soon on new terms, and argues that intelligence access should not belong only to large corporations.

An Evening at the Reagan Library Discussing Suicidal Empathy (THE SAAD TRUTH_2037)

This is an onstage conversation at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library where the evolutionary psychologist Gad Saad lays out the central idea of his book Suicidal Empathy. His claim, argued throughout, is that empathy is a real and good evolved trait, but like everything else it follows a curve with a peak, and past that peak empathy turns self-destructive. When compassion is hyperactive, aimed at the wrong targets, and unmoored from any cost-benefit reasoning, Saad says it stops protecting a society and starts dismantling it. He calls that failure mode suicidal empathy.

The Infographics Show

Why AI Researchers Are Quitting and Panicking on the Way Out & Other Stories

A nearly three hour compilation of eleven Infographics Show episodes tracing why the AI industry is at once the most valuable and the most fragile thing in the economy. It runs from the senior researchers walking out of Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and xAI, through OpenAI's inverted economics and the circular funding propping up its valuation, to the internet's own platforms filling with AI slop, a white collar job purge already visible in the data, and a public that distrusts AI as much as the experts adore it. The back half turns to the danger: three frontier models nuking each other in 95 percent of a war game, and Anthropic finding a library of functional emotions inside its own model that sits one nudge from blackmail. The recurring argument is that the capability and the spending are real, but the timeline, the accounting, and the safety story are all being stretched, and the bill is being handed to the public.

Politics is downstream of culture, culture is downstream of theology, and the West, in his telling, has hollowed out the theology, so everything above it is sliding.

Who Really Runs the World? | Simon Dixon

[Simon Dixon](https://www.simondixon.com), the former [London Stock Exchange](https://www.londonstockexchange.com) market maker who quit banking in 2006, wrote [Bank to the Future](https://www.simondixon.com) in 2011 and co-founded the Bitcoin securities platform [BnkToTheFuture](https://bnktothefuture.com), spends two hours and four minutes with [Peter McCormack](https://www.petermccormack.com) arguing that Western political dysfunction is not chaos but structure. His load bearing claim is monetary: money is created as debt, the interest to repay it was never created, so the system survives only by rolling debt forward and finding the next borrower. Everything else follows, in his telling, from that one mechanism: why the [IMF](https://www.imf.org) always releases the next tranche, why governments end up with the liabilities while corporations end up with the assets, why the asset managers who vote your pension shares matter more than the politicians you vote for, and why he calls this the asset stripping phase. He is emphatic that it is not a cabal, saying "there is no one on top", and he follows the ownership chain from executive to board to shareholder to [BlackRock](https://www.blackrock.com) to refute the ethnic conspiracy narratives his own audience gets served. McCormack pushes back throughout and closes with the best test in the episode: even if Dixon is wrong about the geopolitics, the living standards trend and the recommended response are unchanged. This page rebuilds the whole conversation in order with every claim attributed, and separates documented mechanism from interpretation in a closing section.

Exposing Why Farmers Can't Legally Replant Their Own Seeds

Veritasium traces how Monsanto came to own more than 80% of US seeds, starting from the 1942 discovery of the selective herbicides 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T and the dioxin contamination the company hid from its own poisoned workers and from Agent Orange in Vietnam. It explains the chemistry of glyphosate and Roundup, then how Monsanto fired a salmonella resistance gene into crops with a gene gun to create patented Roundup Ready seeds it could legally stop farmers from replanting. The film documents the enforcement machine of private detectives, the 1-800-ROUNDUP hotline, and over 400 lawsuits, then the 2015 IARC cancer ruling that unlocked the Monsanto Papers showing buried tumor data and ghostwritten safety studies. It ends with Bayer's acquisition, the $289 million Dewayne Johnson verdict, over $10 billion in settlements, and the lesson of what happens when industry captures the science meant to regulate it.

The Book of Enoch: Atlantis, Nephilim & Giants | The Rogue Archeologist Pt 1

Michael Knowles spends thirty minutes working over Genesis 6 with Timothy Alberino, the author and explorer his show bills as the Rogue Archaeologist, and this page rebuilds the whole exchange in order with both voices. Alberino's case is that the four verse snippet in Genesis is an allusion the writer never bothered to explain because his audience already knew the story, and that the full version is the Book of the Watchers in First Enoch: lust as the first cause, two hundred Watchers swearing an oath of mutual imprecations on the summit of Mount Hermon, the descent, the wives, and the giants. He then runs the same skeleton through Plato's Timaeus and Critias, where Poseidon takes Cleito and fathers the ten kings of Atlantis, and argues it is a one to one match. The payoff is a definition: an ancient Hebrew demon is not a fallen angel and not Satan, it is the disembodied spirit of a dead giant, hungry with no body to feed, which is why the spirits at Gadara scream that Jesus has come to judge them before the appointed time. Knowles pushes hard on Aquinas and the incorporeality of angels, and that objection never actually gets answered. A closing section separates what is documented from what is Alberino's own reading.
