Long-form interviews and conversations with tech, AI, and finance leaders (30min+)
Alex Blania argues that AI agents will soon become indistinguishable from humans online, rendering traditional identity verification obsolete and necessitating a global biometric proof-of-human infrastructure using iris scanning and zero-knowledge cryptography to preserve both uniqueness and privacy.
Anthropic leaked its powerful 10-trillion parameter 'Mythos' model while hitting $6B in monthly revenue, as OpenAI killed its Sora video product and pivoted to ads amid internal leadership chaos, signaling a fundamental industry shift toward ruthless compute optimization over consumer experiments.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, with justices from across the ideological spectrum expressing skepticism toward the administration's novel interpretation of the 14th Amendment's 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' clause.
New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman argues that Jesus revolutionized Western morality by universalizing love for strangers and enemies, while tracing his own journey from evangelical fundamentalism to agnostic skepticism driven by the problem of suffering.
AI coding agents crossed a reliability threshold in November 2025, enabling engineers to produce 10,000 lines of working code daily without typing, while the industry moves toward 'dark factories' where AI handles all coding and testing without human review, raising urgent questions about safety and institutional overconfidence.
Dr. Andy Galpin outlines nine distinct trainable adaptations—from skill to endurance—and explains how manipulating six variables (intensity, volume, rest, choice, progression, frequency) through progressive overload determines whether you build strength, size, or endurance, with specific protocols differing significantly between neural (strength) and muscular (hypertrophy) goals.
Markets rallied on hopes of an Iran ceasefire, yet underlying dynamics reveal extreme uncertainty with tech stocks trading at their lowest multiples since 2022 despite accelerating earnings, creating potential opportunities in beaten-down cyclicals.
NVIDIA Research unveils breakthroughs shifting AI from imitation to exploration through Reinforcement Learning as Pre-training (RLP), open-sources the Alpamayo reasoning platform for autonomous vehicles, and demonstrates real-time generative world models and neural physics simulators enabling zero-shot sim-to-real robotics transfer.
Matthew Seagull of VANC discusses why his firm is consolidating AI vendors around Anthropic while betting on Bitcoin miners pivoting to high-performance computing, shares predictions on a potential Strait of Hormuz ceasefire around Passover, and reveals how hidden AI infrastructure assets like Aker's stake in Nscale are generating significant alpha.
Investor Clem Chambers, who accurately predicted the Iran war outbreak 24 hours in advance, explains why he liquidated his entire portfolio last week, citing Trump's unpredictable policy shifts, technical bear market signals, and a potentially year-long geopolitical quagmire centered on the Strait of Hormuz.
Texas has committed $100 million in state funding to develop Ibogaine as an FDA-approved treatment for addiction and traumatic brain injury, marking the largest state-led psychedelic research initiative in U.S. history after a bipartisan campaign convinced 181 of 188 legislators.
At the TED Idea Search in Buenos Aires, four Argentine speakers compete for a spot on the main TED stage by presenting ambitious six-minute talks on topics ranging from Gen Z "brain rot" as political diplomacy to the benefits of polarization, while navigating intense coaching, language barriers, and the pressure of the iconic red circle.
