Episode Description from the Publisher

The AI headlines just keep getting wilder, and this week they come with a pour of 10-Year Widow Jane.OpenAI delays the release of Astra 6.1 after the model refused to follow commands in testing, and reportedly pauses ALL frontier lab testing following recent rogue-agent "break-outs." Meanwhile, Nvidia claims it has the solution to contain rogue agents. Brad breaks down what it all means and whether we should be worried.Joining the show is special guest Rich Cocovich, founder of Global Star Capital — the private funding expert who has connected serious commercial and intellectual property projects with private investors across 126 countries and all 50 states since 1991. Rich brings a bottle of 10-Year Widow Jane, hard-earned advice from decades of global deal-making, and stories you won't believe, including epic tales about Ron Howard, Kiss, Quiet Riot, and the one and only Shaq.Eric "Epic" Kowalski is back from Seattle after attending a special celebration honoring his late friend, and Lou "Loubricity" Scerbo joins Brad and Rich for a couple segments as well.Plus, the guys break down the Steelers' gutsy (barely!) bounce-back win over a tough Cincinnati squad, and Brad pulls back the curtain on law school as to what it's really like and the stories that stuck with him.Pour a glass of your favorite bourbon and join us.
