The Future is here! And so is the risk of spinning out. Adam & Dave go deep

ShowNotes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

00 - 1,088 LINES DOWN TO 168 — THE INDEX GETS NEW TERMS OF SERVICE

Dave, 5 Oct: "Podcast Index terms of service updated (finally)… The old v1.x terms were 90% boilerplate legalese that never accurately reflected what we wanted. I get emails weekly asking for clarification." · "The old terms of service were 1088 lines. The new ones are 168 lines. It's a 2-3 minute read."

Terms of Service v2.0

And it is an open project: "The PI terms of service are an open project just like everything else. If you think something can be worded better… just open a PR."

JS found the best line: "Since the Service is free, our total liability to you is zero dollars." : )))))))

Last week's bandwidth leak, follow-up. Dave to James, 3 Oct: "rotating URLs is a good solution… Part of the issue here is linode not giving any visibility into per bucket/key stats. That alone probably means I need to change to a different solution." And on 6 Oct, Linode rebooted the utility server in the middle of the weekly full database dump — it had uploaded; "Stand down."

For Dave: did R2 win? And did the object-storage safeguards break James's 24-hour feed report (4 Oct)?

Spam, the new tells (cisene): hijacked high-profile shows republished through spreaker.com under a 2-5 letter owner name for ad insertion — "easy peasy spotted and killed"; and SEO spam from lawyers, dentists, roofers, gardeners treating the Index as "a cheap/free billboard". Chinese casino spam "has almost stopped". Dave flagged one himself on Apple, 8 Oct.

01 - ✂️ "DAI IS TOAST" — THE SKIP-DYNAMIC-ADS CHECKBOX IS COMING

Dave, 8 Oct — the prediction: "By the end of 2027, one 'tier 2' podcast app (meaning Overcast, Podcast Addict, Castro, etc) will put a 'Skip Dynamic Ads' checkbox on their settings screen, which will remove DAI slots from podcast episodes on-device after download. And, as soon as one of them does it, they will all do it." · "The writing is on the wall. DAI is too trashy and disruptive to the listening experience and the DAI ad load has become too high. The podcast industrial complex will have nobody to blame but themselves." (Adam boosted it.)

How, per Dave (to mikek999): "On device transcription is already solid enough. Then you profile the mp3 waveform and look for anomalies that correspond to what the model thinks is an inserted advertisement… Adam proved it works in real time on our last board meeting." · "You don't need to know the slot timings. It's all discernable from the transcript and waveform." · "If the

California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton joins this new episode of Real Talk to discuss the challenges facing the Golden State. From California’s high cost of living, taxes, and business regulations to homelessness, government spending, and the influence of special interests, Hilton explains why he believes state policies have contributed to California’s problems. He also reflects on his family’s escape from communism, his love for California, and the role of leadership and personal responsibility in public service.

Megyn Kelly discusses the breaking news that James Talarico has been missing from the campaign trial for nearly two weeks, the last time he was even seen on video 10 days ago, the chatter in Texas that he may have been in a mental health facility, the best moments from the Michigan senate debate, who Abdul El-Sayed really is, the breakdown of how foreign policy and immigration will play in the race between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, Letitia James’ GOP opponent in the attorney general race crushing her on the debate stage, James' terrible answers on Cornell and past AGs, the way the corporate media purposely avoided reporting certain Jane Doe texts didn’t exist, why these bombshell Jane Doe texts about “our body, our choice” should be the end of the story, and more. Then Ari Emanuel, author of "Roll the Calls," joins to discuss the incredible stories of “rage” that helped Ari overcome his dyslexia in his childhood, his rise in Hollywood to one of the most powerful people in the business, how Emanuel tried to get Biden to drop out of the presidential race in 2024, how Jeffrey Katzenberg failed to deliver what he said politically, Ari's support for his brother Rahm as a potential candidate in 2028, what really happened the time the superagent tried to sign her, what happened after NBC and how things could have gone differently, Hollywood stories about Meghan Markle, Oprah, Larry David, and many others, the reason Megyn doesn't want an agent now, and more.

What happens when a university that claims to stand for Christianity makes it nearly impossible to host an event defending the truth of the Christian faith? And could it possibly involve extortion? That's exactly what happened to us earlier this week (for the first time in 20 years of college visits!), and Frank is bringing the receipts!

What started as a frustrating encounter with Baylor's administration has exposed some troubling questions about what's really being taught at this "Christian" university. From administrative roadblocks to unbiblical professors and courses, Frank reveals why there's much more at stake than just a cancelled event. In many ways, Baylor is waging a war on Christianity. You'll learn:

• What six obstacles did Baylor's administration put in the way of Frank's visit?
• What similar problems did Ratio Christi President Corey Miller encounter with Baylor?
• How is Baylor violating its own policies on human sexuality?
• What unbiblical courses and degree programs are being offered at Baylor and who is teaching them?
• Why is cultural Marxism so destructive to communities?
• Why did Baylor recently return a grant of $700,000?
• Why did progressive "Christian" Professor Greg Garrett wrongly criticize J.K. Rowling on X?
• Why is it sometimes more dangerous to send your kids to a compromised Christian school than a secular university?

While this topic is difficult to address, it's too important to ignore, and Frank is just getting started! Don't miss the next episode as he addresses objections related to academic freedom, reveals how Baylor is violating their own core values on inclusion and diversity, explains what the Bible actually teaches on these issues, and MUCH more.

The Pentagon announced yesterday that the execution of the Fort Hood shooter will be live streamed. Glenn, who supports the execution, explains why he's hesitant for it to be streamed live. Glenn lays out the two problems regarding the live streaming of the Fort Hood shooter and reveals how the execution should be carried out. Glenn talks to callers regarding their views on the execution of the Fort Hood shooter. Glenn also discusses Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed refusing to admit that Hamas and Iran are bigger threats than Israel, something even CNN couldn't defend. Glenn recaps highlights from his latest groundbreaking special, "Mapping the DSA Machine," and answers questions sent in by subscribers. Matt Bielski, the father of a 4-year-old with autism, joins with his son's doctor, Dr. Eric Bartky, to discuss a miracle drug that Matt says changed his son for the better after just one dose. Is this the cure for autism? Peach & Palm Candle Co. co-founder Jill Clark joins to discuss her candle-making process, which is why Glenn chose her company to produce his new candle line.

Lara goes inside a Bastrop, Texas, prison camp to interview Dr. David Young, an emergency-room physician of 30-plus years who never faced a malpractice suit and is now serving 10 years with $26 million in restitution. A longtime friend who testified in his defense, Lara argues he was wrongfully convicted: as the government pushed care online, telehealth companies recruited and conned doctors like Young, hiding the fraud from him. Young, who has saved Lara’s life more than once, shares how faith and family sustain him and why he turned down a plea deal: “I’m not going to plead to something I didn’t do.”
