A discussion regarding alleged cheating by Swedish curling teams involves claims that sweepers are nudging stones with their fingers or using airflow behind the stone to manipulate its path. The conversation contrasts this with the performance of Dutch speed skaters. The hosts note a lack of recent donations, attributing it to a holiday weekend and severe winter weather affecting podcast accessibility.

### AI Hallucinations and "Slop" Clogging Software Development Bug Reports

- **Episode:** [1720: Psyop Season](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1720-psyop-season.md)
- **Published:** 2024-12-12
- **Time:** 1:45:17–1:49:32
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1720-psyop-season/chapter/ai-hallucinations-and-slop-clogging-software-development-bug-reports.md

Core developers for major software projects like Python and CURL report that significant time is being wasted addressing "AI slop"—hallucinated bug reports and security vulnerabilities generated by users scanning code with AI. In a related example of AI inaccuracy, Elon Musk's Grok AI produced a highly erroneous biography of Adam Curry, falsely claiming he was involved with the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) lab. The hosts use these examples to demonstrate that AI often obfuscates ignorance with authoritative-sounding but false information.

Adam Curry shares a personal anecdote from a radio event in Holland involving soul singer Percy Sledge. During a performance of "When a Man Loves a Woman," Sledge stood directly under high-wattage stage lights, causing his "jerry curl" hair products to begin smoking. Curry describes intervening to move the singer away from the lights to prevent him from catching fire.

Reports of doping scandals in traditionally low-intensity sports like curling and archery are highlighted as evidence of the anti-doping industry's overreach. The World Anti-Doping Agency's efforts to harmonize testing standards globally are viewed as a move toward a "New World Order" in medical surveillance.
