  • Walking Robot Dogs, an $850K AI Romance Scam, and a $6.3 Billion Crypto Heist | 10-31-26
    2026/10/31
    Sam Bushman and Jay Harrison dig into a San Francisco startup paying humans $20 an hour to walk robot dogs on city sidewalks, and debate how long it'll take before robo-dogs are a household item. They cover a devastating AI-powered romance scam where a Utah woman lost $850,000 to deepfake video calls and a fake LinkedIn suitor, and break down the red flags everyone should watch for. They discuss Google DeepMind's AI improving hurricane track forecasts and outperforming traditional models on direction, a massive $6.3 billion Binance crypto theft attributed to North Korea, Instagram's surprising pivot to 90-minute horizontal videos to compete with YouTube, and Replit's CEO on the "self-driving company" where AI agents handle the grunt work while humans keep making the calls.

  • The PHP Apocalypse, iPhone Duo Launch, and Florida's Driver Data Hack | 10-28-26
    2026/10/28
    Sam Bushman and Jay Harrison dig into a critical PHP security flaw affecting 70% of the web, discovered by AI after hiding for 20 years, that allows root access without credentials, and explain why even non-PHP users need to check their hosting providers for vulnerable legacy versions. They cover Apple's iPhone Duo foldable launching October 23rd at $2,000 with a limited rollout, and debate whether the fold direction and premium price will win over skeptics. They break down Florida's driver records breach by the ShinyHunters group (the same hackers who hit the FBI), exposed through a single police login on a personal device, and why a year of free credit monitoring isn't enough. Plus: the ransomware negotiation firms with suspect ties to the hackers themselves, holiday airfares up 31% for Thanksgiving, US Treasury proposing broader restrictions on overseas tech investments in China, Meta and Nvidia shares retreating in October, and rising computer costs driven by AI power demands.

  • Surviving the AI Apocalypse: A Pastor's Guide to Staying Human | 10-26-26
    2026/10/26
    Sam Bushman sits down with Pastor CR Wiley, author of "Man-Made: St. Anthony's Guide to Surviving the AI Apocalypse," to explore how Christians can benefit from powerful AI technology while preserving the relationships, responsibilities, and abilities that make us human. They discuss how AI has become a spiritual idol for many, why technology is never truly neutral (the hammer analogy), Elder Gong's call for AI to pass a moral test at the G20 Interfaith Forum, and why Silicon Valley's guardrails may not be trustworthy. They dig into transhumanism, Neuralink, and the plastic surgery analogy for human augmentation, Sam's personal dilemma as a blind person considering whether he'd implant a chip to see, and AI's own admission that it has no conscience. Plus: how social media blindsided us with mental health consequences for youth, why Pastor Wiley is more worried about people becoming robots than robots taking over, and what St. Anthony's desert monasticism teaches us about resisting technological dehumanization.
