INTERVIEW: The Australian 21-year-old who started a country

Daniel Jackson says he's the youngest head of state in the world. There's just one problem: no other nation recognises his country. What started out as joke when he was 14 has developed into the Free Republic of Verdis. The micronation which Daniel is working to set up is between Croatia and Serbia, on a marshy piece of land in the Danube river. It has a flag, a government, and hundreds of "citizens" with IDs that some are even using to get into bars. But does it have a legal right to exist? In this chat, Daniel puts forward his case for Verdis, why he believes so many gen z are getting behind his idea, and talks through life as a world leader. Plus, you'll hear from an expert who breaks down whether or not you can actually just start your own country.

DEEP DIVE: The women being 'undressed' by Elon Musk's Grok bot

Have you heard of Grok? It’s an AI bot that lives inside X, which you might still know as Twitter. Grok has come under fire in the last few days for 'undressing' women against their consent in response to prompts from X users. On Friday Grok started to limit the ability of users to generate AI images, due to concerns about non consensual sexual imagery. So, why was the bot able to make those images to begin with? And what's being done to prevent future harm? On the deep dive today, we speak to one of the young Aussies caught up in the Grok 'nudify' controversy, and we hear from an expert about the lack of safeguards in Grok allowing this to happen.

INTERVIEW: Why these Venezuelans say Maduro had to go

It's been a crazy few days in Venezuela. On Saturday, the US dropped bombs on the country's capital Caracas while US special forces descended on a compound where the president Nicolás Maduro was staying, capturing him and his wife and flying them both to the US. Then a few days later, Maduro appeared in court in New York, charged with drug trafficking and terrorism crimes. The reaction has been a mixed bag: from widespread concern the US is breaking international law, to many labelling president Donald Trump a hero. But many Venezuelans feel their voices have not been getting enough attention. In this ep, Dave catches up with two Venezuelans living in Australia. They talk about why they left Venezuela, what it feels like to see Maduro stand trial, and what they hope happens next.Guests: Lamira, Venezuelan musician living in AustraliaSamantha Oviedo, Venezuelan living in AustraliaGet the whole story from Hack: Follow us on InstagramSubscribe to the hack podcastListen on the triple j app or on your radio live every weeknight at 5:30pm
