beffjezos · x · 2026-09-19
A podcast episode spotlights investigative journalist Brian Chau, who uses AI to uncover corruption: he previously exposed how Effective Altruism NGOs funded and planted "AI doomer" articles in the media. In this episode with Joe Lonsdale, he breaks a new story claiming a $21 billion racial wealth transfer, and discusses UK counterterror failures, alleged ties between an Anthropic "whistleblower" and left-wing NGOs, and his path from IOI gold medalist to AI-powered investigative journalist.
