Pirate Wires

This week on the pod. Liv Boeree is back! We discuss how NYC is protecting illegal criminals, while prioritizing getting rid of horse carriages in Central Park, why you can no longer be mean to Claude, the cyber attack on a French grocery store, and why we should be pushing to d/acc. Also, woke continues to make a comeback.. the ladies get mad at Shane Gillis' SNL monologue about how women dress as 'whores' in the gym, Metallica frontman James Hetfield receives hate online for not saying the thing everyone wants him to say, and Kelly Clarkson battles with a small business in Brooklyn. Finally, Liv and Solana compare algos to demonstrate just how we all live in different universes online.-Thank you to our PRESENTING sponsor Monaco! https://www.monaco.com/?utm_source=piratewires&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=2026_piratewires -Get $500 off your Eight Sleep pod: https://www.eightsleep.com/piratewirespodcast-Check Out Our Pirate Wires FLAGSHIP fund on Autopilot: https://marketplace.joinautopilot.com/landing/5890/1390461?referrer=AP Featuring: Mike Solana, Riley Nork, Liv BoereeSign Up For The Pirate Wires Daily! 3 Takes Delivered To Your Inbox Every Morning:https://get.piratewires.com/pw/dailyPirate Wires On X: https://twitter.com/PirateWiresMike Solana On X: https://twitter.com/micsolanaTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Welcome back to the pod!0:45 - Thank you Monaco for sponsoring the pod! 1:30 - NYC protects illegal criminals 17:30 - Horse-drawn carriages are banned30:30 - Thank you Eight Sleep!31:30 - Don't be mean to Claude45:30 - Thank you Autopilot!46:30 - Should we d/acc?

This week on the pod, we’re joined by the great @Liv_Boeree! We’re breaking down another crazy week in the AI tech space. From Trump inviting all the tech leaders to DC, to renaming AI to “Super Intelligence”, to Bernie’s AI bill endorsed by doomer groups. We also discuss the infamous data center party in DC that our own Jonas Du put together. Next up, we have @katrosenfield join us to discuss the controversial “Cornell 7” SI case that is taking over the discourse. Kat provides us with insights from her piece that she just wrote in The Free Press. Finally, a white pill! The government made a website that actually doesn’t suck.

Welcome back to the pod! Bridget Phetasy returns to the Pirate Wires podcast as one of our esteemed cohosts. This past week, the internet was consumed by the AI doomerism conversation. The tech people are supporting AI at all costs, the doomers are making their opinions heard, and we at Pirate Wires.. are unsure. We dive into all of the discourse, how Peter Thiel predicted the AI antichrist, the white pill of AI, and we even get into Sydney Sweeney's boobs. We have it all!-Thank you to our PRESENTING sponsor Monaco! https://www.monaco.com/-Get $500 off your Eight Sleep pod: www.eightsleep.com/piratewirespodcast- Check Out Our Pirate Wires FLAGSHIP fund on Autopilot: https://marketplace.joinautopilot.com/landing/5890/1390461?referrer=AP Featuring Mike Solana, Riley Nork, Bridget PhetasySign Up For The Pirate Wires Daily! 3 Takes Delivered To Your Inbox Every Morning:https://get.piratewires.com/pw/dailyPirate Wires On X: https://twitter.com/PirateWiresMike Solana On X: https://twitter.com/micsolanaBridget on X: https://x.com/BridgetPhetasyRiley On X: https://x.com/rylzdigitalTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Welcome Back To The Pod - Welcome Back Bridget Phetasy!0:30 - The AI Apocypse - Is It All Over?24:35 - THANK YOU @MonacoGTM 25:33 - Breaking Down The AI Discourse40:00 - Did Peter Thiel Predict The AI Antichrist?!50:05 - Sydney Sweeney's Controversial Boobs10:40 - White Pill - How AI Leads To More Creativity - PW Writer Vibe Coded A Viral Video Game21:40 - THANK YOU @eightsleep 1:22:20 - AirBnB Wants To Fix The Housing Crises1:32:15 - THANK YOU @joinautopilot 1:32:55 - Wrapping Up - Go See Bridget Live in Austin!#podcast #technology #politics #culture #tech #ai

EPISODE #90: Welcome back to the pod! Elon took hits from all angles this week. Tesla cars & chargers are being attacked, the stock is down, X went down on Monday, and the people are protesting. The good news? Trump will take one of those Teslas! Our president seemed very impressed with the car, proclaiming “Wow… everything’s computer”. A battle of citizenship is underway as Federal immigration authorities detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate student who played a prominent role in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University. Are we abusing free speech rights? In the latest tech news, Sam Altman & ChatGPT release a new model that is going after creative writing.. but is it actually any good? Finally.. the pod bros competition. On one side, Gavin Newsom interviewed Steve Bannon (what?) and on the other side, Michelle Obama's new podcast can barely crack 20k subscribers on YT. The media landscape has changed and it looks like Gavin understands the game better than anyone on the left.Featuring Mike Solana, Brandon Gorrell, Riley Nork, Molly O'Shea, Kartik SathappanWe have partnered with AdQuick!

EPISODE #88: Welcome Back! Jeff Bezos sent shock waves through left wing media. The opinion section of the Washington Post will be undergoing rapid change by emphasizing personal liberties and free markets. This, of course, sent the media into a spiral. It's been a bad month for leftwing media with the AP being banned from the White House Press Room and now MSNBC is cancelling shows like Joy Reid's. The resistance is fighting back with sw*stikas on Teslas and waiting outside Luigi Mangione's court room. Solana gives us his thoughts on the EU update after his travels, and we bring on special guest Ashley to break down what the hell is going on at Reddit.

EPISODE #86: Welcome back to the pod! We’re covering the reveal of the deep state this week in our DOGE Report. Tons of stories regarding the DOGE cuts to the federal government, but what exactly have we been paying for? Is Politico a government sponsored media company? What we do know is that the team working with Elon in charge with fixing our government spending are quite based. From ancient scrolls, to a shit poster known as ’Big Balls. We get into all of the reactions from another insane week in the Trump administration.Featuring Mike Solana, Riley Nork, John Coogan, Kartik SathappanWe have partnered with AdQuick!

EPISODE #82: Anything happen while we were away? Our excitement for the new year fell off a cliff this week as Los Angelas caught on fire. The typical climate change narratives were used by politicians, but this event seems to be a complete failure of California government policies. Are we even sure it was a natural disaster at this point? Trump came in swinging in the new year, suggesting renaming the Panama Canal to the America Canal as well as a rebrand of The Gulf Of America. What is Trump’s actual plan here? Mark Zuckerberg continues his based journey by announcing that Meta will no longer use fact checkers. And finally, while you were away, an H1B war was waged on Twitter. We’ll catch you up on everything that happened. Happy New Year! (?) Featuring Mike Solana, Riley Nork, Matt Marlinski, Kartik Sathappan We have partnered with Polymarket!

EPISODE #80 : Mamma Mia! Luigi Mangione was arrested this past week. We get into the discourse of it all. Democrat politicians are supporting his decision? Insane comments from AOC and Elizabeth Warren. But.. is Luigi actually the killer?? Is he gay? We got the all the *alleged* details. Justice prevailed this week as Daniel Penny was acquitted of all charges. Groups like BLM returned to their normal race rhetoric, but it didn’t quite hit the same, confirming a societal vibe shift from 2020. Finally, mystery drones in New Jersey, Governor Trudeau, and defund the police activist gets robbed in San Francisco. Enjoy!
