Interview: AI & The IoT: A Digital House of Cards Ready to Collapse

5 days ago

Cybersecurity veteran GoatTree warns that the Palantir hack, the Nancy Guthrie case, and even FBI search theatrics reveal a deeper truth: our hyper-connected AI infrastructure is riddled with backdoors, cloud vulnerabilities, and incompetence at the highest levels. From pacemakers and insulin pumps that can be hacked, to autonomous cars deciding who lives or dies, to drone swarms and IoT devices opening silent entry points, he argues we’re building a fragile house of cards and calling it progress. The solution isn’t more AI—it’s less blind trust in centralized systems that can be weaponized, manipulated, or simply fail at scale.

Interview: Heroin, HIV, and the Power of Sacrificial Love

5 days ago

In his new book Shooting Up: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Addiction, Jonathan Tepper recounts growing up in Madrid’s heroin epidemic as his missionary parents built a grassroots rehab network in one of Europe’s hardest-hit neighborhoods. Surrounded by addicts, crime, and a generation devastated by HIV, he watched lives restored through faith and discipline—while also burying friends and even his own brother after a tragic accident. This is a stark, deeply personal account of addiction, redemption, and what sacrificial love looks like in the middle of cultural collapse.
