Ho Ho Ho, Alex here! (a real human writing these words, this needs to be said in 2025) Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate) and welcome to the very special yearly ThursdAI recap! This was an intense year in the world of AI, and after 51 weekly episodes (this is episode 52!) we have the ultimate record of all the major and most important AI releases of this year! So instead of bringing you a weekly update (it's been a slow week so far, most AI labs are taking a well deserved break, the Cchinese AI labs haven't yet surprised anyone), I'm dropping a comprehensive yearly AI review! Quarter by quarter, month by month, both in written form and as a pod/video! Why do this? Who even needs this? Isn't most of it obsolete? I have asked myself this exact question while prepping for the show (it was quite a lot of prep, even with Opus's help). I eventually landed on, hey, if nothing else, this will serve as a record of the insane week of AI progress we all witnessed. Can you imagine that the term Vibe Coding is less than 1 year old? That Claude Code was released at the start of THIS year? We get hedonicly adapt to new AI goodies so quick, and I figured this will serve as a point in time check, we can get back to and feel the acceleration! With that, let's dive in - P.S. the content below is mostly authored by my co-author for this, Opus 4.5 high, which at the end of 2025 I find the best creative writer with the best long context coherence that can imitate my voice and tone (hey, I'm also on a break!

Zevachim 100a-100b (Daf Yomi) by Rabbi Avi Zakutinsky
Charlie and Colin dive into the quantum computing debate. Is it a threat to Bitcoin or just VC hype? We explore vulnerable addresses, Nick Carter's thesis, the 2028 timeline, and the controversial plan to "burn" Satoshi's coins to save the network from a $100B hack. Charlie and Colin join us to talk about the existential risk of quantum computing. We break down Nick Carter's latest research, the timeline for a potential quantum break, and the 2 million Bitcoin currently at risk. We debate the ethics of "burning" Satoshi's coins to save the network, the technical challenges of forking to quantum-resistant signatures, and why the next big Bitcoin civil war might be fought over physics.

Welcome back to another episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast!In this episode, Stefano sits down once again with Mario (4TheNorth) — one of Canada's most influential political commentators — for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense conversation about where the country is heading and why so many Canadians feel left behind.Mario breaks down how Canada reached this moment: unchecked government spending, distorted economic data, unsustainable immigration levels, and a political system that increasingly avoids accountability. From youth unemployment and part-time job manipulation, to food bank usage hitting record highs, he explains why the official narrative no longer matches everyday reality.In this conversation, Stefano and Mario dig into:• why Canadians across all backgrounds feel “cheated” by the system• how immigration policy is straining housing, healthcare, and wages• why economic “job growth” isn't what it appears to be• how government spending is being reclassified to mask massive deficits• why political trust is collapsing — and why independent voices are growing• Mark Carney's leadership, continuity from Trudeau, and what may come nextMario also explains why he has no interest in becoming a politician, despite massive influence — and why speaking freely outside the system may be more powerful than holding office inside it.This episode is candid, fact-driven, and grounded in lived reality — a must-watch for anyone trying to understand Canadian politics beyond headlines and spin.Grab a casual, lock in, and let's get into it.Host: Stefano (stefo)Instagram: @drstefohttps://www.instagram.com/drstefo?igs...Guest: Mario Zelaya Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mario4thenorth?igsh=MXc2YTNlNmRta2N2NA==TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@officialmariozelaya?_r=1&_t=ZS-92JJpiCu5siX: https://x.com/mario4thenorth?s=21&t=Cgz_58zASW84g-pj2PUNtwThis episode is brought to you by Canada First — secure your home with Canada's best home fortification.

Solar, Storage, and Nuclear: The Next Clean Tech Wave Surging AI demand is creating volatility and speed-to-power challenges, while grid delays push onsite generation forward. Our Clean Tech Symposium highlighted a major shift in data center power strategies, with the percentage of facilities using onsite gas potentially doubling in the short term. But, its role as bridge vs. temporary depends on economics: transmission and distribution (T&D) spend >$100B annually and pricing trends closer to $6/MMBtu. Solar-plus-storage remains highly cost-competitive with battery prices down 40-50%, reinforcing its position in future portfolios. Nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs) are progressing with faster timelines, though commercialization is years away and cost certainty remains low. Power availability is now shaping data center site selection, where Dimple sees solar + storage and nuclear as complementary long-term solutions.

In this episode, Lex speaks Friederike Ernst, co-founder of Gnosis. Together, they explore the evolution of Gnosis from an Ethereum-based prediction market project into a major infrastructure provider powering over $100 billion in DAO treasuries and $10–15 billion in monthly DEX trading via CowSwap. Tracing the company's journey from a 2017 ICO raising $12.5 million in ETH (now worth ~$450 million) to spinning out critical tools like Safe, CowSwap, and Zodiac, all originally built for internal use.Despite their success, Gnosis recognizes that the crypto-native user base is limited and has now pivoted to building user-centric, mainstream products like the upcoming Gnosis App targeting Gen Z with real-world financial utility. The company emphasizes its founding mission of democratizing financial ownership and warns against complacency as incumbents like Stripe and Robinhood enter the space. Lastly, Gnosis sees a near-term opportunity in AI-agent driven commerce, especially through reverse advertising models that could unlock trillion-dollar markets.NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:The $12.5M ICO That Became a $450M Treasury: Gnosis raised $12.5 million in ETH during their 2017 ICO when ETH was trading at $40. Through conservative treasury management and holding their ETH position, that initial raise has sustained the company for nearly a decade and grown to approximately $450 million today. Friederike attributes this to “conservative treasury management and sheer luck” — a remarkable case study in long-term crypto treasury stewardship.Polymarket Runs on Gnosis Infrastructure: Despite Polymarket's $10B+ valuation and mainstream recognition, it still uses Gnosis's conditional token framework that was written years ago. Friederike acknowledges being “a little salty” that infrastructure they built powers such a significant share of the on-chain prediction market economy without Gnosis directly benefiting financially. It's a stark illustration of the “first up the mountain” dynamic where pioneers clear the path but don't always capture the value.The 19th Century German Banking Parallel: Friederike draws a compelling historical analogy: impoverished German farmers in the 1800s faced predatory moneylenders charging 25-40% interest. They responded by forming collective community banks, lending to each other at 4-6%. Within decades, tens of thousands existed, and one-third of Germans remain members today. She positions crypto's ownership model as the modern equivalent — a cooperative financial revolution for a generation economically disenfranchised by incumbent systems.TOPICSGnosis, Gnosis Safe, CowSwap, Zodiac, CPK, Polymarket, Kalshi, ConsenSys, Ethereum, ETH, AI, AI Agents, ICO, Onchain, Governance, Crypto Treasury, Web3, Blockchain, Finance, Banking, Payments, Custody, WalletsABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT
In this episode, we speak with Ilan Peleg, co-founder and CEO of Lightrun Some founders jump in fast. Ilan Peleg plays the long game. Before launching Lightrun, Ilan had already built deep roots in cybersecurity and engineering leadership. A former national middle-distance champion, he was trained to move with speed - but only when the moment is right. Lightrun, the startup he co-founded with Leonid Blouvshtein, is now backed by Accel and Insight Partners with $70M raised, and is redefining how developers debug in production environments. But behind the company's technical edge is a methodical, thoughtful story of timing, discipline, and trust. In this conversation, we explore: The startup lifecycle, broken down by phase. Ilan outlines the specific goals-and dangers-of each chapter: Years 0–2: Product-market fit. “You may come up with an amazing product… but is it delightful enough that people and organizations truly love it?” Years 2-4: Go-to-market fit. “You've proven value, now can you sell it repeatedly?” Years 4–6: Scaling. “This is where it gets really hard-it demands consistency, leadership maturity, and real operational backbone.” Why founders must resist the urge to scale too soon. Each stage brings its own pressures, and Ilan shares why timing is a competitive advantage few talk about. Vision vs. credibility: how to pitch like a founder who knows both. “Some investors want you to pitch a $100B story or they'll say you're not crazy enough. But you can't just sell the dream-you need believable milestones.” The power of deep domain expertise. Ilan and his co-founder Leonid weren't startup tourists-they deliberately delayed founding Lightrun until they'd spent years gaining firsthand experience with the problem space. “Once we came up with an idea in the domain we lived by, things moved magnitudes faster.” They moved fast because they'd waited to move. A co-founder story rooted in long-term alignment. Their partnership wasn't born in a hackathon. It was built over years of shared conversations and career moves with the goal of someday launching something together. “Leonid wasn't optimizing for salary-he was optimizing for being better skilled for what we'd eventually build.” Why good ideas come with a clock. “If the opportunity's big enough, others will feel it too. You don't have unlimited time to act.” How mentorship and networks compound growth. Ilan reflects on the exponential value of getting the right advice-and surrounding yourself with people who've failed and succeeded. It's what helps turn lessons into leverage. Why founders must imagine more than just their company-they must imagine the market. “It's not only about what you're building-it's how the market will evolve by the time you get there.” This episode is for anyone who's still getting ready-who's learning, building experience, and wondering when it's their time to start.

Welcome back to the Fintech Takes podcast. I'm Alex Johnson, joined by Jennifer Tescher, founder and CEO of the Financial Health Network (who's spent the last two decades measuring, defining, and holding the industry accountable for consumers' financial well-being). We dig into the latest FinHealth Spend Report, which found that U.S. households paid $455B in interest and fees last year (a $100B jump in just two years!), and unpack what that says about the fragility of American households. From student loans and BNPL to agentic AI to the design of financial products, this conversation covers the hidden costs of “frictionless” finance … and why real innovation might mean adding friction back in. Highlights include: Why the $455B consumers paid in fees and interest is a canary in the coal mine for the economy (and how credit card debt and student loans are driving the jump) How the uncertainty around student loan forgiveness has frozen households in place, changing decisions about careers, housing, and family Whether BNPL helps or harms consumers (and why frictionless payments may have gone too far) Why agentic commerce risks turning AI into a 24/7 sales engine (and what it would take to build AI that actually improves financial health) How Financial Health Network's new product design standards are nudging banks and fintechs to compete on doing right by customers This episode is a sweeping, candid look at the real state of consumers' financial health (and how design, data, and AI could either fix it or make it worse).

Is the AI boom already peaking? In this episode of The Newcomer Podcast, Eric, Madeline and Tom take a hard look at the hype cycle driving Silicon Valley's latest gold rush — from Andreessen Horowitz's record-breaking $25 billion year to Amazon's push to automate its entire workforce.We explore whether AI's trillion-dollar promise is real innovation, or if the cracks are already showing. From OpenAI's overblown math claims to Andrej Karpathy's “State of the Union” reflections, we break down what's really happening behind the headlines.
Mike Armstrong and Paul Lane discuss the good vibes being back on Wall Street. $100B stock swings expose 'fragility' beneath Wall Street rally. Amazon lays off 14,000 corporate workers. The Fed's $6.6T test. Americans face a retirement confidence paradox. UPS jumps after sweeping job cuts push profit above estimates.
Paul Black and Mike Trigg from WCM Investment Management are both past guests on the show who have taken an investment philosophy focused on culture and moat trajectory to turn a once struggling boutique into a $100 billion powerhouse. Paul came on the show a few years ago when WCM had quietly grown to $25 billion in assets, and Mike joined a year ago to dive into their research process. Their colleague Mike Tian shared another perspective earlier this year when he described applying WCM's moat trajectory discipline to investing in China. In this continued exploration of WCM, we start with the truly unique facts about the firm's rebirth a decade ago and turn to key features of its success, including embracing change, the importance of culture - alongside some characteristics of toxic cultures, hiring practices, telling the truth, integrating new team members, managing turnover, and transitioning leadership to the next generation.

Mark Newman has spent his career fixing broken systems. At just 20, he co-founded HireVue, a company that reimagined hiring through video interviews, scaling it into a platform used by millions worldwide before its acquisition by Carlyle Group. But it was his own experience in a hospital after the birth of his child that sparked his next fight—taking on the healthcare system. Today, as founder and CEO of Nomi Health, Mark is building a new operating system for healthcare, already touching over $100B in employer healthcare spend, serving millions of Americans, and proving costs can be cut in half without sacrificing care. In this conversation, Mark shares the grit of his early ventures, how Nomi scaled through the chaos of the pandemic, and why he believes employers—not insurers—hold the keys to healthcare reform.

That doesn't necessarily mean they need entirely new strategies — but they do need to make the most of the tried-and-true tactics. Care variation reduction (CVR) has been part of the operational excellence playbook for years. The opportunity for efficiency and cost savings through CVR is massive—about $100B nationally — but the vast majority of health systems have not been able to unlock its full potential. This week, host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board provider operations expert Isis Monteiro to break down what's getting in the way of realizing that $100B, and how leaders can start to move the needle.
