If you like what we're all about, it just means the absolute world to have your support. But enough with that, let's get to the show. Good morning everybody, happy Monday. We have an amazing show for everybody today. What do we have, Crystal?
Indeed, we do. Lots going on on the AI front. The heads of all of the major AI companies coming out and sounding the alarm about concerns over safety and calling for a slowdown will break down what they are saying. We will sort the noise from the hype, from the reality. We're gonna have Nate Soraz on, who is an expert on these things, also to break down some of the various theories about why they are saying this right now. Uh, in addition, of course, we have our eye on the middle. East and the impact on all of our lives. Saudi had to shut the East-West pipeline, which was helping to ease some of the pressure in the oil market. What will the consequences of that be? As the Houthis have had a stunning offensive and taken that entire Red Sea coastline, giving them effective control over the Bab el-Mandab Strait.
In addition, we are taking a look at gambling with NFL season in full swing. Sagar, of course, has his eye on this one. This is obviously not NFL, but related, is the latest player to sell out to the gambling apps. Uh Sydney Sweeney doing her thing as well. So a lot to get into there. And then we've got the latest on the midterms in tr including uh Trump weighing in on flop cameras, Dogger. He says he likes them.
He's coming in on the right side, uh, definitely. For him, uh, but definitely not for the Republicans. Thank you to everybody who has been signing up for our free trial.

Listen to the podcast, we share an episode with a friend. But as Crystal said, there's so much happening now with AI. Everything kicked off on Saturday. Here with the release of a new essay by Dario Amade, the CEO of Anthropic. Let's put it up here on the screen. Highly recommend that everybody go and read it. Uh it's not too long, and I actually think uh it is actually just worth getting in the heads of Dario. And we'll play some of the um I'll play some of the uh video interview that he did in a little bit. But the general TLDR here, uh, it is called We Must Pace the Frontier. So the bullet points that I have written down is that Amade says that AI companies must deliberately slow the rate at which they advance AI capabilities, not halt training.
This is a shift beyond just investing investing in risk prevention. The pace of capability gains itself now needs managing. What changed his mind? Is two things.
