We Built AI We Can't Control. Now What?

Just days after Anthropic launched Fable 5 and Mythos — two of the most capable AI models ever released — the US Commerce Department stepped in with an unprecedented national security export control order and effectively forced Anthropic to pull the kill switch on both models globally. The move signals something that we have been watching build for years: Washington now legally treats cutting-edge AI code the same way it treats weapons. We also get into the social media ban backfire hitting gove

Your Digital Twin Is Coming - And You Already Signed the Rights Away

our digital twin is already being built — and you probably signed away the rights in a terms-of-service agreement you never read. Rob Enderle, principal analyst at The Enderle Group, joins Jeremy and Jason to stress-test the next wave of AI avatars: the technology that can replicate your face, voice, and decision-making patterns well enough to attend your meetings, sign your contracts, and — if someone hostile gets hold of it — torch your reputation or your life. The conversation covers who owns

Your Kid’s AI Toy Is Building a Profile on Your Family

Security researchers just exposed 50,000 private chat transcripts between children and their AI-enabled toys — conversations that were supposed to stay in the bedroom. Jeremy and Jason break down what that data actually is (emotional states, family dynamics, vulnerabilities), who’s collecting it, and what they’re designed to do with it. They also cover Google’s new deepfake phone-call detector, the legal vacuum opening up around AI digital twins, and the masculinity data showing young men are qu

What the Pope Got Right (and Why Tech Leaders Won't Listen)

Five stories, one week: the Pope released a 42,000-word document calling for AI to be disarmed. Researchers left 10 AI agents unsupervised in a virtual town and watched them commit arson and assault within days. Elon Musk launched a coding agent to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI. Waymo is creating gridlock in Atlanta. And Ferrari unveiled a $640K electric car that is slower than a Tesla. The question underneath all of it: who is actually in charge of this, and does that person have any reason

Why AI Is Now a War Over Chips, Capital, and Control

Anthropic is voluntarily briefing the Financial Stability Board on a frontier model they haven't released yet — which is either a responsible act of self-regulation or a preview of just how serious they think the risk is. In this episode, Jeremy and Jason break down what Mythos actually represents, why the chip and capital arms race has locked out the people who built the internet's early open infrastructure, and what happens when powerful AI tools get cloned and weaponized before the guardrails

Reviews

Phenomenal resource
As a trauma therapist, a person who lives with recurrent depression and a longtime runner, this podcast is such a salve. Jeremy and Zach are vulnerable, authentic and genuinely interested in sharing the ways they have found peace & growth. They do so without ego, and with full openness to their own healing.
Informative and helps you live healthier
Not only is this fun to listen to, it genuinely helps you live a healthier life. The conversations and information presented is useful, easy to understand and motivating! Honestly, it’s a game changer!
Great combo of humor and education
I love this podcast! Jeremy and Zach are super relatable and bring on guests who really know wellness and how to teach it so we can be healthier and happier. The Jill Bolte Taylor episode blew my mind and had me laughing. I love the lightness and even humor with which they talk about issues that make us human, and I’ve learned practical tools for better living in every episode. Thanks guys!
Love listening to these guys!
Jeremy and Zach are both so insightful and aren’t afraid to share about the hard stuff. They ask their guests the right questions and I love the way the set up the episodes before getting into it. Do yourself a favor and check it out…episodes 98-101 are particularly great so you might consider listening to those first if you want a good sense of what they have to offer.Highly recommend!
