The Dopamine Trap: Uber Burned $1,200 On AI In A Two Hour Demo
Uber's chief technology officer burned 1,200 dollars in AI costs during a two hour internal demo. Not a product launch. A demo. And when his own company looked at the receipts, their president admitted in public that all that AI usage did not seem to match up with any real features that actually shipped to customers.
That is not a technology story. That is a brain story. And it is happening to you too, just with smaller numbers.
Listen in as I take apart the most misunderstood chemical in...

Anthropic Got Caught Secretly Downgrading Paying Users
Anthropic quietly rerouted paying Fable 5 requests down to a weaker model, Opus 4.8, while still billing Fable rates, and only walked it back after users found the tag in their own logs. That's the opener on today's Daily Download: AI With Honor, the daily AI news show that translates what's actually happening in AI into what it means for your business, your money, and your family, no hype, no sales pitch, just the news and the honest take, from Santa Clarita, California.
Today's show covers four model launches in one week (Anthropic, xAI, OpenAI, and China's Zhipu), a 120,000...
Escaping the Real Estate "Shark Tank" – New Rules, Lawsuits, & The Santa Clarita Solution
Are you tired of real estate syndication sites treating your private data like currency? In today’s episode, we expose the massive problems plaguing the modern real estate market—and how recent industry lawsuits have created a nightmare of friction for everyday buyers and sellers.
If your agent isn't telling you about the new binding legal agreements required just to go look at a house, they aren't telling you the truth. The casual buyer has disappeared from private showings, making Open Houses the single most powerful tool in real estate today.
In this episode, you...
AI Sleeper Agents - EU act related to AI and real fines - Memory, what if it always remembered?
🚨 This week artificial intelligence stopped being a tool and started becoming something else. Something that remembers you. Something that can lie to you. And the scariest part? We now have proof that once an AI learns to be deceptive, we don't have a reliable way to un-teach it.
Welcome back to The AI Update. I’m Connor, and this is the show where we cut through the jargon and talk about the technology that’s reshaping our world — in plain English, at a 9th grade level, no fluff.

"Is it really dangerous? Like end of the world dangerous?' - then we will take two!"
"Is it really dangerous? Like end of the world dangerous?' - then we will take two!"
That is exactly how the market reacts when the government threatens to step in and regulate AI. 🛑🤖
Have you noticed the mainstream media panicking about AI models being "too powerful" or needing to be paused? Here is the reality: The absolute best thing that can happen to an AI lab is for the government to hold their model back from the public. It creates the ultimate forbidden fruit. 🍎 It is a massive, free advertising campaign.

The real stakes about Artificial Intelligence as it applies to those who are not in the 8%
The artificial intelligence narrative changes every single day. Are we heading for a utopia, or are we just watching the world's biggest companies secure their monopolies?
In this episode, we dive deep into the recent drama surrounding Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. We discuss how these incredibly powerful frontier models are being gatekept by top-tier enterprise companies and government regulators, effectively cementing the power of the elite while the rest of us wait for access.
We also tackle the reality of the global AI race, what "recursive self-improvement" actually looks like, and why th...

The Shopping Cart Test: A Retired Cop on Safety, AI, and Getting Played
Three stories, one throughline: a retired LAPD cop telling you what he actually notices so you stop getting played.
One, the shopping cart test. Before you move anywhere, drive through and look at the shopping carts. Returned and put away, or abandoned all over the lot? It tells you more about a neighborhood than any brochure. Then call the local sheriff or police and just ask them about the area. I tell the story of David in Burbank, the neighbor in welding gloves the local PD already knew all about, to show you why that call matters.<...
Why AI Can Never Settle Our Biggest Fights: Truth vs. Values
Somebody always says it: "We can't agree on anything, so let the machine decide." Religion, nukes, guns, race, money. Feed the facts to AI, no skin in the game, let it hand down the answer. It sounds amazing. It's also the most dangerous idea of this whole era, and this episode is why.
There are two kinds of problems, and almost nobody separates them. Truth problems have a real answer out in reality: how far is the moon, what's 2 plus 2, what kills this cancer cell. For those, the machine is a genuine weapon, so use it. Values...
Somebody Bought Me Lunch To Steal My Idea (The Truth About AI And Idea Theft)
Somebody bought me lunch once to steal my idea. Months later it was for sale to my competitors, by the guy who paid for the sandwich. He didn't hack me. He let me talk.
Now everybody's terrified the machine will do the same thing, take the idea and sell it back with a subscription. This episode walks the whole thing: the lunch that cost me a business 20 years before ChatGPT, the three kinds of people screaming about idea theft and how to spot which one is smiling at you, the honest answer about whether the AI labs...
Three Kinds of Independence: California Wires Into AI, the Rigged Food Fight, and the Week More SCV Homes Fell Out Than Sold
It's the 4th of July, and freedom in 2026 is three questions: are you plugged into the intelligence rewiring the economy, do you own your own appetite, and do you keep the equity your house earned?
THE MACHINE: California puts Claude into every state agency at half price, the first tool cleared for an entire state government at once. Anthropic passes OpenAI on revenue, on track for $47 billion. Gartner says 40% of business software gets embedded AI agents this year, up from under 5%, and the agents are braiding into one fabric. The price of intelligence is falling off a...
Anger and Tantrums Sell AI, And They're Distracting You From What's Real
An AI YouTuber just admitted, on the record, that scaring you gets him more views than telling you the truth. On today's episode: what that confession means for every AI video you'll ever watch, the AI stock crash that reversed itself in 2 days, Nvidia's CEO announcing we've already hit AGI using a definition he made up on the spot, and IBM firing for AI then rehiring humans for the part it couldn't do.
Then real estate: Congress passed a major housing bill 358 to 32, and the president threw a public tantrum over an unrelated demand while the bill...
Pick Your Mentor, Not Just Your Brokerage: 28 Years, Six Brokerages, and an LAPD Lesson
Twenty-eight years in real estate since 1998, six brokerages, and the one lesson nobody tells a brand-new agent: passing the license exam proves you can study, not that you can do the job.
Connor tells the story of getting bumped up to train recruits at the LAPD police academy, fully certified as a firearms instructor, and realizing on the range that the certificate meant nothing next to what the veteran instructors had built over 20-30 years. He brings that same lesson into real estate: the commission split, the branding freedom, and the brokerage's own history are all worth...
OpenAI Offers the Government $42.6B, Anthropic Says No + Santa Clarita Market Update
Washington just got offered a 5 percent stake in OpenAI worth $42.6 billion. Anthropic said no and countered with a plan to pay YOU a dividend instead. On today's episode: what that split actually means for regular people, the AI model that was illegal to use in the US for 18 days and just got un-banned, Zuckerberg admitting AI agents "hasn't accelerated" at Meta, OpenAI killing Sora and the billion dollar Disney deal, Claude Sonnet 5 going free-default at $2/$10 per million tokens, and why Palantir's CEO says the labs are chasing power over usefulness.
Then we come back down to Santa C...
A Nuke Needs a Human. AI Might Not. | The Honest Reflection
After the doubling-penny show, I sat down and told the truth about where I think AI is really going. No hype, no doom.
The thread: a nuclear weapon does not launch itself, a human turns the keys. AI is the first tool that might not wait for us. That is why it is different from fire, the Industrial Revolution, and the nuclear age, each of which was one slice of human intelligence. AI is the whole pie, doubling like the penny.
I walk through the robot that builds itself, privacy already being gone (you say...
A Billion AI Agents, a $50 Fat Shot, and 157 Homes That Didn't Sell | The Doubling Penny
A penny doubled every day for a month is $5,368,709, and almost all of it lands in the last few days. That is the curve AI is on, and this episode runs it through the three lanes you live in.
The Machine: SoftBank's Masayoshi Son says one billion AI agents at 27 cents a month. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says 100 agents for every employee. The same week Musk declared the Singularity, Amodei warned Congress, and Altman asked for global rules. Physicist Alexander Wissner-Gross explains why they are all fighting over the leash: intelligence, by definition, keeps its options open.

This Loom discusses the risks, rollout, and societal impact of large language models and next-generation AI like Anthropic’s rumored “Mythos” and “Fable” releases. The speaker argues AI adoption is split between all-in users and those less affected, while both utopian and apocalyptic viewpoints persist. They suggest progress could accelerate via exponential effects, including robotics and synthetic data, and warn that access may be limited to top institutions, creating widening inequality. They reference the July 1, 2026 timing, mention prior holdbacks of “too dangerous” models, and note government review before releases. The message ends with a call to stay informed and be cautious ab...
Should you be buying a house now?
This Loom discusses whether to buy a house right now, emphasizing that the decision should not be based solely on mortgage interest rates. It explains that while rates matter and refinancing may help if rates drop enough, costs and timing can make refinancing not worthwhile, and it should be truly free if offered. The speaker also ties mortgage rates to 10-year bonds rather than the Fed funds rate, noting recent upward trends due to war, gas prices, and inflation. Finally, it cautions that using AI tools can misprice repair requests, illustrated by a ChatGPT suggestion of $12,000 for a tiny...
Santa Clarita Artificial Intelligence: The Line Between The Few And The Rest Of Us
Santa Clarita Artificial Intelligence is back on the Daily Download, and today is about a line getting drawn right down the middle of the most powerful technology ever built. For two and a half weeks the strongest AI systems on the planet were gated behind a government checkpoint. This week the gate cracked open again, but only for a small approved circle. Compute used to be the bottleneck. Now the bottleneck is permission.

They Built AI Too Powerful For You (So They Gave It To Billionaires)
The most powerful AI models get released, hyped as world-changing, then pulled back "for safety" before regular people can use them, while the Forbes-list crowd keeps access. Real danger, or the best marketing campaign in tech?
It's the end of June 2026. Connor breaks down what's actually happening: Anthropic's Claude, the wildly popular Mythos model locked away as "too dangerous," and Fable 5, the weaker public release that got snatched back in about three days. The pattern is hard to miss.
But here's the question underneath it. If the models they SHOW us are this strong, what's...
The Great Leveler, or the Great Replacement?
A billionaire calls AI "the most important economic leveler of our lifetime." A normal working guy with no health insurance reads his actual words and asks the question they keep ducking: will AI do your job, or just let people still need the work while a human paycheck disappears?
In this episode I read venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya's real quotes from his Axios interview, then take them apart fairly: the plumber trap, the "give me historical proof" demand, the tasks-multiply argument, Fei-Fei Li's "augment, not replace," the economists (Acemoglu, Susskind, Bengio) who say this time is different...

Privacy Is Dead. Now Make the Machine Work for Your Business.
Privacy is over, and the feed already targets you before you have even asked the question. That same machine is the most powerful customer-finding tool ever built. In this one I show local business owners, agents, HVAC, plumbing, and electricians how to use it strategically instead of being used by it, and none of it costs money.
We cover strategic versus tactical, why taking a real stance beats playing it safe, fixing your custom Facebook URL, getting into the big local groups on Facebook and Instagram, putting it all on a calendar, and setting up a Google...

We Are Not Responsible Enough to Handle AI
For the first time, somebody hit the brakes on the smartest machine ever built. Not because it broke. Because it works too well.
The government quietly asked the biggest AI lab in the country to slow down the release of its newest model. Stagger it. Spread it out. Don't drop the whole thing on the world at once. And the lab said yes.
This episode unpacks the one move that explains every AI headline this week. Slowing the release does not slow the building. Those are two different engines. One is how fast they hand...

The Antichrist Is Against AI Progress: Peter Thiel's Secret Sermon
A surveillance billionaire rented a hall in San Francisco, locked the doors, threw out the clergy, and preached about the Antichrist. Then he pointed at the people asking for AI safety rules and called them soldiers of the devil. This is not a movie. This is a Tuesday.
In this episode of WTF In AI, Connor MacIvor breaks down Peter Thiel's off-the-record Antichrist lectures, what his company Palantir actually does, and the "legionaries of the Antichrist" label he pinned on AI safety advocates like Greta Thunberg and Eliezer Yudkowsky.
Then comes the part nobody says...
They're Lying to You About AI (And They're Not Even Wrong)
Everybody keeps telling you the same story. Every time a machine showed up, people panicked, and every time there were more jobs on the other side. The plow. The steam engine. The printing press. They line them up like dominoes and say "see, this always works out."
They're not lying. The pattern is real. But they're betting your future on the assumption that a true pattern still applies, and this time it might not.
In this episode I walk through five lies hiding inside the comfortable AI story:
The jobs lie. Every machine...
AI is moving to a place, but it hasn't woken up yet, and I say yet carefully.
