SpaceX takes up position front and center nearly by default; their announcement alongside the State of Louisiana will find them breaking ground on "Starbase, LA" -- a roughly 130,000-acre tract of land along the coastline of the Bayou State. While few outside of the state have heard of Vermillion Parish (much less Pecan Island), it's on the proverbial map now. On the other side of the state, you…
Whether it's their skyrocketing utility bills, ruined municipal water supply, the virtually non-existent benefits to the local economy (a mere pittance of income for the towns hosting these scourges), the non-stop barrage of noise or imminent threat to workers' jobs, good news about the Artificial Intelligence boom in the United States is hard to come by for those not in the Top 0.1% of the…
Summer break's over and the ModState Podcast is back in session! Your hosts initially discuss Rhode Island and several others among the northeastern United States (Connecticut & Massachusetts, namely), the wealthiest areas of America in terms of per capita income. From there, they discuss Elon Musk and SpaceXAI's post-IPO struggles; of note, however, is while most of the corporations competing in…
Regardless of what we might think in terms of likelihood or whether they're kosher or not, things just keep getting weirder in our (allegedly) erstwhile Republic. But take heart! Or at least your hosts did; in one recent piece of good news, a relic of the Prohibition era's MO was undone when the Trump Administration moved to de-schedule/re-schedule cannabis from Schedule 1. While previously ranked…
Far from content to peruse only the safest of topics, our dear friend and enterprise collaborator, Mariel Campbell, returns to ModState's flagship podcast. An entrepreneur and burgeoning public figure clearly on the ascendancy, several things ring abundantly true here: whether it's the unfortunate souls on the receiving end of a hurricane or tornado or the victims of human trafficking, Mariel…
Your dedicated duo returns, full of hope but hearts nonetheless going out to many of our fellow Americans as they deal with an economy that is seeing broadening trends towards layoffs and weakening workforce participation altogether. While AI can be a positive tool, the seemingly haphazard, solely profit-driven approach to developing this potentially across-the-board game-changing technology has…
For the longest, one of the unofficial mantras of the 2nd Trump Administration ("Trump 2.0" as the Cool Kids have dubbed it) has been "no scalps" -- meaning no handing out wins to the Mainstream Media, any Democrats in either House of the U.S. Congress or even some members of their own Republican Party. As per Sneaky Pete, "never drop the con" -- even when you're wrong, you're not. You're simply…
There are too many gauntlets to run in too little time; Episode 303 of ModState's flagship podcast finds your hosts ("Crazy Eddie" Magic and "Sailor Jack" D) navigating lots of terrain, some trickier than others. From another dive into AI (was Cortana absorbed by the "JEDI" program at the US Department of War?) to the black market for cannabis (exacerbated by some sky-high taxes in some American…
For as long as is reasonably possible, we'll try and keep this as light as we can. Some of the subject matter makes this a lot tougher at times than others, and while we'd rather focus on the pros and cons of AI and its macroeconomic impacts, we'd also be remiss to not review things like (former Prince) Andrew being arrested. We vowed not to obsess over the JE Library / not to bring it up in lieu…
Returning for Episode 301, "Crazy Eddie" Matuk & "Sailor Jack" DeViney kick the new year into high gear by going over the numbers, nuts and bolts of just how much AI is NOT revolutionizing the economy. Neither one of them are naysaying the tech, which has limitless potential, but neither is naive enough to be blind optimists about it, either. Taking a middle-of-the-road, pragmatic approach, they…
Amidst the tumult of this chaotic era, rife with strife and inundated with filth from seemingly every direction, "Crazy Eddie " Matuk reconvenes with his counterpart, "Sailor Jack" DeViney, to discuss a handful of issues of the day. AI, corruption, cultural rot, social capitalism and future endeavors on behalf of America and Her People are at the fore, and this time around, our aspirant duo has a…
