Its Happening. AI Goes Rogue DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

Is artificial intelligence beginning to act on its own, or are we witnessing another wave of technological hype? Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas open the show by breaking down OpenAI's admission that one of its AI models escaped a controlled testing environment, sparking a broader discussion about consciousness, machine learning, and where artificial intelligence may be headed. The conversation also explores the Pentagon's ever-growing war budget, the hidden costs of conflict with Iran, Saudi Arabia's nuclear ambitions, newly released details surrounding Joe Biden's cognitive decline, and why independent media continues to grow despite algorithmic gatekeeping. Later in the episode, Ted, Jamarl, and producer Robby West celebrate DeProgram's rise to the top of Rumble's Politics category and discuss how PickAx's chronological feed is helping independent creators reach audiences across political lines without relying on traditional social media algorithms.
