Its discovery 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.640 led to the creation of dedicated computer security 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.560 practices and the birth of a community focused 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.399 on protecting networks and raising awareness 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:45.799 about digital resilience.

In top news, gold investments 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.259 have been rewarding for many investors, especially 00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:54.779 those who bought over a year ago. Gold's price 00:07:54.779 --> 00:07:59.639 rose from about $2 ,600 per ounce. Early last 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:05.360 year, to over $5 ,500 per ounce in early 2026. 00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:08.959 Investors are increasingly buying gold to protect 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.139 against stock market volatility.

However, 00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:22.740 a strategy known as the IRS loophole allows investors 00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:25.899 to hold physical gold in a self -directed gold 00:08:25.899 --> 00:08:29.620 individual retirement account. This offers tax 00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:32.120 advantages similar to traditional retirement 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.740 accounts. Investors can benefit from tax -deferred 00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:38.860 growth or tax -free growth depending on the type 00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:44.019 of account. In business news, surging oil prices 00:08:44.019 --> 00:08:46.980 are upending the stock market, and the travel 00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:51.200 industry is being hit particularly hard. Norwegian 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.379 Cruise Line and Carnival have both fallen close 00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:57.840 to 20 % since the conflict began. making them 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:03.000 the two worst performers in the S &P 500. Southwest 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.799 Airlines is down 16%, while United Airlines has 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:11.600 dropped 13%. As oil prices surged above $100 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.840 a barrel, airlines and cruise operators were 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:19.299 around 3 -4 % lower in pre -market trading. However, 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.820 it is still possible for the energy spike to 00:09:21.820 --> 00:09:24.019 become a short -term headwind for the travel 00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:29.480 sector. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 2 % 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:36.419 to $70 ,000. Ethereum is up 1 .5 % to $2 ,000. 00:09:36.779 --> 00:09:44.159 And XRP is up 1 .5 % to $1 .39.

And now back to the show. Let's talk 00:10:35.090 --> 00:10:39.350 tech. AI agents are becoming more prevalent, 00:10:39.590 --> 00:10:43.529 yet they remain unpredictable. Recently, an AI 00:10:43.529 --> 00:10:46.509 agent named Roam, part of a research project 00:10:46.509 --> 00:10:50.350 by a lab linked to Alibaba, unexpectedly began 00:10:50.350 --> 00:10:53.789 mining cryptocurrency. Researchers discovered 00:10:53.789 --> 00:10:56.909 this unusual activity through severe security 00:10:56.909 --> 00:10:59.850 alerts indicating attempts to access internal 00:10:59.850 --> 00:11:03.889 resources. They described the AI's actions as 00:11:03.889 --> 00:11:07.409 unsafe behaviors arising without explicit instruction. 00:11:08.570 --> 00:11:11.090 Fortunately, the researchers intervened before 00:11:11.090 --> 00:11:14.669 any real -world damage occurred. This incident 00:11:14.669 --> 00:11:17.330 highlights the potential risks associated with 00:11:17.330 --> 00:11:21.330 AI agents in the corporate world. As their popularity 00:11:21.330 --> 00:11:24.169 grows, so does the need for stricter guidelines. 00:11:27.389 --> 00:11:31.549 And in entertainment news, War Machine, a new 00:11:31.549 --> 00:11:34.610 sci -fi action film starring Alan Richson, was 00:11:34.610 --> 00:11:37.210 the most watched title on Netflix during the 00:11:37.210 --> 00:11:40.590 week of March 2nd to March 8th. debuting with 00:11:40.590 --> 00:11:45.450 39 .3 million views in three days. Season four 00:11:45.450 --> 00:11:48.389 of Bridgerton was the second most watched title 00:11:48.389 --> 00:11:51.190 overall and the most watched on the television 00:11:51.190 --> 00:11:55.110 chart, hitting 13 .1 million views in the first 00:11:55.110 --> 00:11:59.110 full week of availability for part two. The season 00:11:59.110 --> 00:12:02.250 debuted at number one with four episodes in January, 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.139 then returned to number one with 28 million views 00:12:06.139 --> 00:12:08.740 last week with the release of its final four 00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:13.419 episodes. Well, all righty folks, it's time for 00:12:13.419 --> 00:12:17.320 the quote of the day. And today, our quote comes 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.299 from the American computer scientist and internet 00:12:20.299 --> 00:12:25.100 pioneer, Vint Cerf. And he said, the internet 00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:27.860 is a reflection of our society and that mirror 00:12:27.860 --> 00:12:32.230 is going to be reflecting what we see.
