Dad Saves America

AI researcher Jacob Coxon quit his job at Anthropic last week and became a whistleblower, warning that the race toward superintelligent AI is "gambling with our lives." Another Anthropic employee, Evan Hubinger, backed him up, putting the odds of AI apocalypse within a decade at over 10%. Then, Anthropic published a 154-page AI safety report on all sorts of alarming ways the technology is evolving.
Anthropic was founded as an AI-safety-conscious competitor to OpenAI. It’s company culture is heavily influenced by effective altruism, a utilitarian philosophy that attempts to optimize the wellbeing of the entire planet and every future person yet to be born.
So, should these dark predictions be taken seriously, or are they the ravings of paranoid ideologues? And our the panicked response, will we end up running head-first into a government regulation disaster?

I sat down with historian of early Christianity Matthew Larsen, Ph.D., fresh off his shoot in the Middle East tracing the life of Paul the Apostle, to dig into the evidence for Jesus, the biblical canon, and the Catholic Church.
We get into:
* How historians actually know what’s true about the ancient past
* Why the “Jesus never existed” theory keeps resurfacing online
* Where Wes Huff’s viral apologetics differ from real historical scholarship
* Why the idea that “Paul invented Christianity” is a 19th century German myth
* How the Apostolic Fathers reveal a strikingly Catholic early church
* What actually happened at the Council of Nicaea
* Matt’s personal journey from evangelicalism to the Catholic Church

Zohran Mamdani just appointed Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer who once represented an Al Qaeda member, as New York City's chief legal counsel. This sparked outrage from 9/11 families and a petition demanding that he not attend this year’s 9/11 memorial collected more than 100,000 signatures.
A hundred million Americans have been born since 9/11, and campus interviews reveal that many were never taught who attacked us or why. Osama Bin Laden's “Letter to America” went viral on TikTok a couple years ago as if it were a revelation rather than propaganda.
Twenty five years after 9/11, some have forgotten the first major crisis of the century, and others have rewritten the story.

The bond market wobbled this week, and Secretary Bessent is now buying back government debt just to keep long-term interest rates from climbing further. Bond market volatility in the early fall has a bad history of signaling worse to come, from 1929 to 1987 to 2008.
The national debt sets a new all time high every day, recently crossing the $40 trillion mark. The U.S. dollar's status as the world's reserve currency has allowed us to kick the can down the road for decades, but interest payments on the national debt are reaching unsustainable levels and now the bond market is starting to push back.
Are we at the point of no return or can we still grow our way out of this mess?
