We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with Ro.

The Prediction Market Bros are Fighting

People are using chatbots for legal advice during active cases and it's screwing them over

The majority demographic in America, regardless (or should i say irregardless now...) of political affiliation can't be trusted in politics

Why is it that "white working class voters" need an economic message spelled out to them but every other demographic seems to understand the assignment?

We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with Ro.

Fawn Weaver is going to Shark Tank because...why not?

There's no need for "nuance" in the BAFTA debacle because it's very clear what happened and why it shouldn't have

A.I. companies are using your chat data to train their models. 

OpenAI lowers it's spending on compute target by 50%. It's still a fake number

Anthropic vs the Department of Defense...can they both lose?

"You have to trust your military to do the right thing" is a crazy thing to say but especially right before the Trump administration starts attacking Iran without Congressional approval

"A.I. safety" isn't about the potential of A.I. becoming Skynet but rather the standards and testing of automation based on A.I to make sure things are secure and don't break. A.I. can't and won't do the autonomous warfare crap these people are thinking up but it can still do a lot of damage because dumbasses believe it can

We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with Ro.

This is administration finds new lows to hit

Rolling back the Clean Air Act regulations isn't about cars, it's about data centers

Elon and xAI are still poisoning a town

Ring's Super Bowl ad was clearly not about finding lost pets; They cancel their Flock partnership but still work with law enforcement

Even if Ring stops working with law enforcement, the Supreme Court case on geofence warrants may make it so it doesn't matter

Sam Altman says ads were the last resort for OpenAI's business model...they're bringing ads to OpenAI

At what point do people wake up and just stop using these terrible products that provide no real value?

We're back with a new Insanity Check episode with guest, Dpalm (Host of the Unanimous Decision podcast). This is a short episode where Kriss and Dpalm spend some much needed time asking the question of "Why is everyone being stupid?". From the insanity that is sports betting and "predictive markets" (i.e. gambling on every thing) to the Epstein file stating what everyone really already knew (the world's richest men manipulating public opinion on things that could challenge their power) to every day people selling their souls for a quick dopamine hit with A.I. slop. People know better and need to do better. 

The Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo is now a Kalshi shareholder, which is the obvious and logical next step for Sport's maddening  decent into gambling. What could possible go wrong? 

Hobart, Indiana's deal with Amazon for a data center is a perfect example of why these data center deals are bad. In exchange for investing virtually nothing back into the city, Amazon gets decades of no taxes.

Remember when copyright laws applied to everyone? Well apparently that doesn't count for A.I. companies. For example, "Project Panama" where Anthropic scanned and then destroyed millions of books without permission in order to train their models

Take a week off only for ICE to execute another person in Minneapolis. 

Topics for the show:

The media may finally be waking up and starting to do their job. Dana Bash pressed Greg Bovino on the murder for Alex Pretti and it did not go well for Bovino

Full Interview

Bovino did so poorly on the Bash interview, he scrambled to do a press conference that resulted in him also being pressed by the media and him having to quickly leave

Full Press Conference

Also, turns out what we predicted was right and Bovino's claim about the man they were after was also full of lies as well

DHS and the Trump administration continue to use abuser language "Just do what we say. You're making us hurt you"

As a Black person it's okay to have conflicting feelings right now as we watch white people and the media finally come to the realization of what the government and law enforcement does but that it took two white people to be killed instead of listening when this was happening to black people

It's not just awaken at home but we're watching foreign leaders also realize that it's time for a change. Mark Carney (Canada's PM) gave an amazing speech at the World Economics Forum

Two weeks in and 2026 is already showing it's ass. We've now reached the part of the program where the Administration is now shooting white women in the face and lying about it like police do when they kill an unarmed Black person. And people (not Black people. We tried to tell them) are shocked. Things are going swell.

Kriss is joined by Justin and Brandon to discuss topics from the shooting in Minneapolis to the dangers and stupidity of A.I.

Topics for the show:

Multiple videos and analysis show what happen to Renee Good and yet the administration is just flat out lying to everyone's face about what happened (much like police do when they shoot Black people)

JD Vance has nothing better to do than do a press conference to tell all of us not to believe our lying eyes

The people telling us we need to just accept A.I. seem to believe we'll just "figure it out" when nothing in history shows that

The people in charge of A.I. are the worst people we know and nothing about what they're doing is about the benefit of humanity

New Year Same Bullshit...actually worse. Nothing like kicking off 2026 with an unhinged Trump kidnapping a foreign leader for oil. Nice. 

Topics for the show:

There used to be rules for this shit. The US's foreign wars and policy has always been problematic but there used to be some sort of process and at least attempt to go through the proper channels. This has completely deteriorated over the last 2 decades and we end up with the mess Trump just created

The US isn't on a way to becoming a surveillance state...it already is one...thanks to private companies like Flock Safety

If you're gonna spy on people the least you could do would be to secure the cameras so anyone could watch them...right?

Politico's interview with Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley shows how absolutely terrible these CEOs are

Denver's city council votes to cancel it's contract with Flock Safety only to be overruled by the mayor

Apparently if you point out and track Flock cameras you're now a terrorist organization

Pay Day loans are back and worse than ever

Bonus....Tech Companies have found more loopholes around anti-trust laws by just entering licensing agreements then hiring all the people from the company they want to acquire. Fantastic. Just Great.

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week's dose of insanity in the world. This week he's joined by Ro and well...everything is just really really stupid

Topics for the show:

Everyone is talking about the Epstein List and it's not even in the top 25 dumb/bad things the Administration is doing

The best way to bring down inflation is to just make up the numbers on the inflation report

Yahoo Finance names OpenAI 'Company of the Year' because racking up ton of debt and costs with no actual plan to pay it off is what pass as good business these days

Disney signs deal to license to OpenAI (more costs for OpenAI) while giving a pinky promise to buy OpenAI equity

Waymo didn't make sure their vehicles could work if the power for traffic lights went out; How does something like this happen (and Waymo is supposed to be the 'good' autonomous vehicle company)

Just because CEOs 'run' companies that make a lot of money doesn't make them smart

Roblox is getting sued by Tennessee (and other states) for making an unsafe environment for kids. Good thing their CEO didn't go on a podcast with two journalist and say really stupid and damaging things..oh wait

The full interview (you need to watch it) is here

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week's dose of insanity in the world. This week he's joined by Ro.

Topics for the show:

The economy is pushing people to be either desperate or give up on everything

Economic collapse would be bad for everyone but the rich

Kalshi wants you to gamble on everything and that's just terrible

A Google Insider is already milking the unregulated prediction market...so this will end swell

OpenAI's data center ambitions would require more electricity more than all of India

OpenAI is still on track to not make money but also require more

The future of AI is talking to your dead grandmother

Topics for the show:

People need to start treating the word "privilege" as if it is a dirty word. It's okay to acknowledge and own your privilege if you use it for good and don't be an asshole

Marjorie Taylor Greene is taking her racist bigotted ball and going home

Everything is related to politics so the excuse that you don't "pay attention to politics"

Is the media just doing propaganda or are is the media voices we're getting just the unqualified stupid people that are covering things they don't understand

If A.I. is taking jobs, name the product

Chuck Schumer is terrible as the Senate Minority Leader and there is a really easy fix for this that doesn't require having people wait until the next election

Fun extra reading, the fun Google emails from their anti-trust case where Ad execs pressure and manipulate the Search team to make Google Search worse in order to juice ad revenue

Email 1

Email 2
