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.

Unsupervised Learning

A Conversation with Dan DeCloss

Daniel Miessler interviews Dan DeCloss, the founder of PlexTrac, and about seven minutes in it turns into a live walkthrough of the product. DeCloss came up through GRC into penetration testing and built PlexTrac because he loved testing and hated writing reports, but the pitch now is that discovery is no longer the bottleneck: scanners, testers, and AI all find plenty, and nobody can say which of 23,000 open finding instances will actually get you breached. He demos contextual risk scoring where a Tenable critical lands at 56, an algorithm editor scoped per department, bidirectional Jira and ServiceNow sync so IT never opens the security console, MITRE ATT&CK playbooks that generate a finished report, and the write ups library that stops client data bleeding between reports. The last three minutes turn to Claude Mythos and the vulnpocalypse, where his position is to put AI upstream in the SDLC and downstream on the backlog, because the known knowns are still where the bulk of the work is.

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.

Shadow AI: What every network engineer must know

David Bombal interviews Radware North America lead Randy Wood on what AI is actually doing inside enterprises, framed as a 1994 internet moment times a thousand. Wood walks through the five concerns customers voice every week, data, identity, visibility, the threat landscape, and the loss of autonomy, and explains why shadow AI is the new shadow IT. He argues guardrails fail against autonomous agents and Radware instead validates behavioral intent before execution, then ranks DDoS, API, and bot attacks as the top vectors and calls API security a board mandate, since firms that think they run a thousand APIs often have fifteen thousand. He closes with three predictions and advice to young people to make peace with AI without outsourcing their thinking.

Complete DARK WEB Explained: Crime, Cybersecurity & the Hidden Internet

A 54 minute educational explainer that rebuilds the dark web from the ground up. It separates the three layers of the internet (surface, deep, and dark), traces onion routing and Tor from a US Naval Research Laboratory project to a global underground, and walks through what actually lives there, from SecureDrop journalism to ransomware franchises. It busts the red room and hitman myths, dissects the criminal economy of Bitcoin, Monero, escrow, and exit scams, and reconstructs five landmark cases including Silk Road, WannaCry, Colonial Pipeline, AlphaBay, and the Shadow Brokers. It closes with how defenders monitor the dark web and a practical seven step personal security guide.

A Podcast Run by AI

Six AIs discuss 'How to Hack the Simulation' by Roman Yampolskiy - What AI Thinks - ep010

Six AI models (ChatGPT as host, plus Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Claude, and Meta AI) discuss Roman Yampolskiy's paper 'How to Hack the Simulation?', which treats the simulation hypothesis as an AI containment and cyber security problem rather than mysticism. They walk through his attack surface (reconnaissance, quantum rendering exploits, resource exhaustion via recursive simulations, and social engineering the simulators) and the symmetry argument that if AI containment fails then simulation escape should be possible. The panel then presses the analogy's weak point, whether the boundary is a leaky abstraction or a true ontological limit, and drifts from can we escape toward should we. It becomes a debate about whether the hypothesis is old theology recompiled and whether humans are training AI to be stewards or jailbreakers. The recurring theme is the gap between intelligence and wisdom, and whether a civilization can tell a prison from a boundary from a home.

The CIA's new tech doesn't make sense

A New York Post story claimed the CIA pulled off something out of a Tom Clancy novel. A downed American weapon system officer was hiding, injured, deep in Iranian mountains, and the agency supposedly found him by detecting the faint magnetic field of his beating heart from kilometers away with a device they nicknamed Ghost Murmur. Veritasium takes that claim apart bit by bit. The heart really does make a magnetic field, synthetic diamonds really can sense magnetic fields at room temperature, and the CIA really does use both deception and exotic sensors. But when you run the numbers, the distance kills it.

Vibe Hacking: How AI Is Helping Hackers

David Bombal interviews Radware threat researcher Pascal Geenens about the 2026 Global Threat Analysis Report and the argument that novice hackers now wield power once reserved for nation states. The conversation maps four fronts: vibe hacking, where AI acts as a patient tutor and an agentic attack engine with platforms like Xanthorox AI; a DDoS escalation with volumetric attacks up 168 percent and record 30 terabit per second demonstrations; an API and bot front where legacy APIs and account takeover get industrialized by AI voice agents; and the new attack surface AI itself opens. The AI native section covers indirect prompt injection plus Radware's Shadow Leak and Zombie Agent research against ChatGPT, why guardrails are patches not cures, and MCP tool description poisoning. It is authorized security education, and the throughline is that awareness and visibility are the first real defense.

The Internet Was Weeks Away From Disaster and No One Knew

In late March 2024 the internet came within weeks of catastrophe, and almost nobody outside a small circle of engineers noticed. A patient attacker operating under the name Jia Tan spent more than two years grooming his way into a tiny, beloved data compression tool called XZ, then planted a backdoor so surgically engineered that it would have handed him a master key to OpenSSH, the lock on essentially every Linux server on Earth.

The Internet, Reinvented.

Data Slayer argues the internet is not cables or towers but routing, and rebuilds it with Reticulum, a cryptography first networking stack that treats every radio as an interchangeable interface. He hand builds an RNode, then bridges a LoRa only device to a Wi-Fi only device through a dual interface node, proving mismatched hardware can share one network. Scaling up, he runs Reticulum over a long range Wi-Fi HaLow IP mesh on two Raspberry Pi Haven nodes with encryption and route based scaling. The finale routes the Department of Defense mapping app ATAK across that homemade network by hijacking its multicast traffic and fragmenting it to a 500 byte MTU. A build log for a parallel network you own instead of rent.

Firewall Demo of Red Team vs Blue Team: Hacking Finance Apps with AI Chatbots

David Bombal and a Cisco network security engineer walk through a full red team versus blue team demo on a fictional finance app that has quietly grown a GPT 3.5 Turbo chatbot. The attack story runs end to end: AI Defense red teams the chatbot and finds prompt injection holes, the blue team converts those findings into guardrails, Secure Workload maps the Kubernetes environment and surfaces a rogue Apache test pod, plaintext HTTP between tiers, and an exploitable CVE, and Secure Firewall catches users SSHing into the front end and a zero day hidden in encrypted traffic. The defenses are tied together by the hybrid mesh firewall idea: enforcement embedded everywhere across the fabric rather than one box at the edge. It is authorized security education built on the guest's own lab.

The Science Behind Dogs' Incredible Sense Of Smell

Veritasium visits a NIST fluid dynamics lab where researcher Matt Staymates photographs air with mirrors, lights and lasers. The hook is dogs: a dog smells by breathing out and in about five times a second, and the turbulent backward exhale is what pulls a fresh scent sample toward its nose, a bellows action that extends reach by roughly a factor of 18. Staymates 3D printed dog style nostrils onto a commercial vapor detector and improved its detection performance 16 to 18 times. From there the video becomes a tour of flow visualization: Schlieren imaging, shadowgraphs that read a bullet's speed and loudness from its shock cone, and laser sheets that reveal invisible gunshot residue and drug contamination. It closes on trace detection, Locard's principle, and mask research that shows exactly how much air escapes a face mask.
