Did the Cold War Really End? 100 Years of Espionage with Calder Walton
Did the Cold War really end? As recently as this week, the New York Times confirmed that in 2020 Russian intelligence attempted to assassinate a defector on US soil, crossing a major red line even during the height of the Cold War. On today’s episode of the RealClearDefense podcast “Hot Wash” host John Sorensen and RCD contributor John Waters speak with Calder Walton, the historian who uncovered that attempted assassination and the author of a new book, “SPIES: The Epic Intelligence War Between the East and West.” Using archival evidence only declassified as recently as 2022, Walton looks at the 100 year espionage competition between the Soviet, American and British intelligence services. By comparing each side’s internal secrets the book reveals double agents, the tactics of disinformation, covert action, and assassinations. How did espionage shape the Cold War?Walton is the Assistant Director of the Harvard Belfer Center for Applied History and Intelligence Project. He is also the author of the three-volume Cambridge History of Espionage and Intelligence and Empire of Secrets: British Intelligence, the Cold War, and the Twilight of Empire."Follow Hot Wash on Twitter @hotwashrcdEmail comments and story suggestions to editors@realcleardefense.comSubscribe to the RealClearDefense Podcast "Hot Wash"Subscribe to the Morning Recon newsletterfor a daily roundup of news and opinion on the issues that matter for military, defense, veteran affairs, and national security.

Jesse Glass explains Decide AI’s push for on-chain AI agents and privacy-first LLMs.
In a recent episode of the SlateCast, CryptoSlate’s Editor-in-Chief Liam “Akiba” Wright and CEO Nate Whitehill sat down with Jesse Glass, Lead AI Researcher at Decide AI. The conversation delved into Decide AI’s groundbreaking efforts to merge artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology, focusing on privacy-preserving identity verification, the role of decentralized AI in advancing AGI (artificial general intelligence), and the future of data ownership.Revolutionizing Identity VerificationJesse Glass opened the discussion by explaining Decide AI’s core mission: to create AI-driven applications that verify human identity without storing sensitive data on-chain. This approach enables "civil resistance" and ensures higher data quality while maintaining user privacy.“Decide AI is a set of AI applications and integrations for LLMs and identity. For ID, we use AI to verify that you're a human without storing that data on-chain,” said Glass.The system integrates with both blockchain and Web2 applications, offering a novel solution to data protection. With increasing scrutiny on how personal data is handled by centralized entities, Decide AI’s strategy could serve as a blueprint for privacy-first verification protocols.AI on the Blockchain: Challenges and PossibilitiesDeploying AI on-chain is a significant challenge, but one that Decide AI is actively addressing. Glass shared insights from his experience deploying GPT-2 on the Internet Computer (ICP) blockchain. He highlighted the technical hurdles posed by blockchain’s computational constraints, noting that traditional AI workflows rely on off-chain compute resources provided by large corporations.“When I experimented with deploying GPT-2 on the Internet Computer, it exposed how spoiled we’ve become outsourcing compute to megacorporations,” said Glass. “On-chain AI presents challenges like quantization, CPU cache vs. instructions, and WASM compilation, which requires optimized data structures.”Glass’s perspecti
