Is the dream of a resilient, open internet dying? Join us as we dissect Iran’s unprecedented 2026 digital airlock and why Microsoft’s CEO thinks you’re using AI all wrong.

In this episode of The Internet, Seriously, we sit down with Whisper Security CEO Kaveh Ranjbar to uncover the technical "bottlenecks" and BGP manipulation behind Iran's massive January 2026 internet blackout. We move beyond the headlines to discuss the human cost of digital sovereignty and whether "low-orbit" satellites like Starlink are a viable escape. Plus, we explore the shift from AI "slop" to high-value cognitive tools and provide a blunt review of the Sonos software meltdown—proving that even your home speakers aren't safe from the "internet of broken things."
