The Valley Current®: What Does The Latest Game Theory Research Teach in Our AI-Driven World?

Gas prices are exploding. Global shipping routes are breaking down. Oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has nearly disappeared. But this episode of The Valley Current® argues the greatest threat may not be the war itself. It may be the decision-making systems driving it. Jack Russo unpacks the escalating U.S.-Iran conflict through the lens of new game theory research, revealing how echo chambers, loyalty-driven leadership, and "brittle confidence" can push nations toward catastrophe. The conversation ties together collapsing supply chains, economic shockwaves, and the rise of AI systems trained to agree instead of challenge. As political leaders silence dissent and AI models become increasingly sycophantic, this episode explores a chilling possibility: are we hardwiring humanity's worst strategic instincts into the very machines that could soon influence global crises?
