Avui, a l'InfoCopeLleida, parlarem d'una setmana on la intel·ligència artificial ja no és només una eina curiosa, sinó un tema de regulació, negoci, debat científic i fins i tot robòtica. Començarem amb la nova llei aprovada pel Govern espanyol per frenar els mals usos de la IA, amb multes que poden arribar fins als 35 milions d'euros. També descobrirem Abacus.ai, una plataforma que vol convertir la IA en un assistent capaç de crear, automatitzar i treballar per nosaltres. I seguirem amb un dels grans debats del moment: la intel·ligència artificial general, l'AGI. Alguns experts diuen que ja és aquí, altres demanen prudència, i avui en David ens portarà dades concretes per posar-hi una mica de llum. També parlarem de robots humanoides que ja corren mitges maratons, de la decisió de la Xina d'identificar-los amb un codi únic, i acabarem amb un cas molt terrenal: Ticketmaster, acusada als Estats Units de funcionar com un monopoli que cobra massa als usuaris.  IA, robots, lleis i poder tecnològic… avui tenim tertúlia potent.Efeméride:El 27 de mayo de 2003, un joven desarrollador llamado Matt Mullenweg presentó oficialmente WordPress.  Una sencilla herramienta para crear blogs, terminó convirtiéndose en una revolución digital. En una época donde publicar en internet requería conocimientos técnicos, WordPress democratizó la web: cualquiera podía crear, compartir y construir su espacio online. Veintitrés años después, WordPress no solo sigue vivo… domina internet. Desde pequeños blogs personales hasta grandes medios de comunicación y tiendas online, más del 40% de las webs del mundo funcionan hoy con este sistema. Su éxito se basa en el princio basico de la creacion de internet: software libre, comunidad global y evolución constante. Lo que nació como una plataforma para bloggers, hoy es el motor de millones de proyectos digitales. Y así cerramos nuestra efeméride tecnológica de hoy… dando un vistazo al pasado para entender el presente y mirar hacia el futuro.

Abacus Global Management CEO Jay Jackson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's strong first-quarter financial results and increased full-year guidance as momentum continues across its longevity-focused investment platform. Abacus reported first-quarter revenue of $59.4 million, representing a 35% increase from $44.1 million in the same period last year. Growth was driven primarily by continued expansion in the company's Life Solutions segment. GAAP net income increased 59% year over year to $7.3 million, while adjusted net income rose 17% to $20.1 million. Adjusted earnings per share improved to $0.21 from $0.18 a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA climbed 33.3% to $32.7 million. The company also generated strong cash flow during the quarter, with operating cash flow totaling $91.7 million compared to negative $61.6 million in the prior-year period. Management attributed the improvement to increased cash generation tied to expanding assets under management. Gross assets under management reached approximately $3.6 billion, supported by $378 million in gross capital inflows. Assets under management within Abacus's longevity income funds grew nearly fourfold year over year to approximately $1 billion, while origination capital deployment increased 30% to $163.6 million. Jackson noted that the company's longevity-based assets continue attracting institutional demand because they are “structurally uncorrelated to credit and equity cycles,” providing diversification benefits in varying market environments. Strategically, Abacus continues advancing several major initiatives, including its previously announced agreement to acquire an approximately $53 million minority stake in Manning & Napier, which manages roughly $18 billion in assets. The companies also plan to establish a strategic alliance focused on product distribution, referrals, and joint product development. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter, pending regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. As of March 31, the company reported cash and cash equivalents of $37.2 million and total outstanding debt of $330 million, net of deferred issuance costs and discounts. For the second quarter, management forecasts adjusted net income between $24 million and $26 million and adjusted EPS ranging from $0.24 to $0.26. #proactiveinvestors #abacusglobalmanagement #nasdaq #abl #EarningsBeat #FinancialGrowth #LifeSettlements #InvestorDemand #CashFlow #AssetManagement #Finance #Investing #AssetManagement #LifeSettlements #CapitalMarkets #FinancialResults #Growth #Investments #WealthManagement

As the Clippers await punishment, their owner is big mad at Pablo — and appears worried about what Aspiration's founder might have told the NBA. So Pablo and David Samson (finally) sit down with a special guest: Lou Manzo, the former DOJ prosecutor who investigated this whole tree-planting fraud in the first place, to go inside the courtroom, comb through footnotes and focus on the end game.(Additional reporting by Anita Bennett)Previously on PTFO:• Part I: The Silent Superstar and the Rotten Apple Tree• Part II: An Argument with Mark Cuban• Part III: The Mystery Investor, the No-Show Payday and the "Smoking Gun"• Part IV: Steve Ballmer, the Other Cuban and the $118 Million Infusion• Part V: Steve Ballmer's "Inconceivable" Donation, the $20 Million Guarantee and a Head on a Spike• Part VI: An IRL Showdown with Mark Cuban• Part VII: The Briefcase, Ballmer's Social Network and Aspiration's House of Cards• Part VIII: Uncle Dennis, Ballmer's $50 Million Sprint and the Side Deal That Wouldn't Die• Part IX: Ballmer's Tree Money, the Whistle-Blowers and the Document You've Been Waiting For• Subscribe to Pablo's newsletter for exclusive access, documents and invites• Subscribe to "Nothing Personal with David Samson"(Pablo Torre Finds Out is independently produced by Meadowlark Media and distributed by The Athletic.

This one's for all you autodidacts: if you have questions about any aspect of Greco-Roman antiquity, have trouble distinguishing between Phylas and Phrynichus, and are not sure where to turn when you are tearing through an ancient text and get stumped by some unfamiliar term, we've got you covered. This week Jeff and Dave walk us through the fascinating landscape of the most famous classical encyclopedias: Pauly Wissowa, Der Kleine Pauly, Der Neue Pauly, the CHCL (and how it differs from the CAH), and of course, the master map of classical scholarship, L'Année philologique. And in the second half, we explore the history and usefulness of that great granddaddy of them all, the Oxford Classical Dictionary, starting with the 1st ed. and extending to the 4th, digital form it now inhabits. So from Abacus to Zosimus, from Nichomachus to ancient gesturing, the Nerd is strong in this one. And, don't miss FlexCalls.com.

Abacus Global Management CEO Jay Jackson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce record-setting origination and transaction activity for the full year ended December 31, 2025, marking a milestone year for the company as it set new benchmarks across all key portfolio metrics. Jackson highlighted that Abacus acquired a total of 1,310 life insurance policies during 2025, showcasing the strength of its origination platform and its ability to consistently source high-quality deals within the secondary market. The company deployed $580.8 million in capital over the year, reflecting both the scale of its operations and its deep commitment to the life settlement asset class. In addition to strong origination, Abacus demonstrated significant portfolio activity, trading 1,059 policies throughout the year. This level of transaction volume underscores the company's ability to actively manage liquidity while optimizing portfolio performance. The total face value of policies traded reached approximately $1.8 billion, further solidifying Abacus' position as a leading participant in the secondary market. Financially, the company generated $178.6 million in realized gains from portfolio transactions in 2025, compared to $49.3 million in unrealized gains. This highlights Abacus' ability to effectively monetize its assets and convert portfolio value into tangible returns. By year-end, the company held $468.9 million in policies on its balance sheet at fair value, providing a strong foundation for continued growth. Jackson emphasized that these results represent more than incremental progress, describing them as industry-defining achievements. He added that the company's strong operating momentum, growing asset base, and expanding institutional relationships position Abacus Global well to continue delivering value for shareholders in the years ahead. #proactiveinvestors #abacusglobalmanagement #nasdaq #abl #EarningsBeat #FinancialGrowth #LifeSettlements #InvestorDemand #CashFlow #AssetManagement #Finance #Investing #AssetManagement #LifeSettlements #CapitalMarkets #FinancialResults #Growth #Investments #WealthManagement

Abacus Global Management CEO Jay Jackson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire an approximately $53 million minority equity stake in Manning & Napier, a diversified investment manager with roughly $18 billion in assets under management. Jackson explained that alongside the equity investment, the companies will establish a Strategic Alliance Agreement aimed at creating growth opportunities across three key areas: product distribution, lead generation and referrals, and joint product development. The strategic alliance is expected to be the primary value driver of the transaction, providing a framework for collaboration while allowing Manning & Napier to continue operating independently. According to Abacus Global, the partnership represents a significant milestone in the company's evolution from a life solutions originator into a fully integrated, longevity-focused alternative asset management platform. Manning & Napier brings a well-established wealth advisory business with approximately 3,400 clients and more than 55 years of investment management experience. By combining this platform with Abacus Global's LifeARC data and actuarial capabilities, the partnership is designed to strengthen the company's integrated model linking life solutions origination with a dedicated wealth management distribution channel. Management believes the collaboration will help accelerate growth by connecting Abacus's life solutions origination engine with Manning & Napier's wealth advisory network, creating new opportunities for product innovation and client engagement. #proactiveinvestors #abacusglobalmanagement #nasdaq #abl #EarningsBeat #FinancialGrowth #LifeSettlements #InvestorDemand #CashFlow #AssetManagement #2025Outlook #ProactiveInvestors #JayJackson #ManningAndNapier #AssetManagement #WealthManagement #StrategicAlliance #AlternativeAssets #InvestmentManagement #AUM #Finance #Fintech #Longevity #LifeSolutions #GrowthStrategy #Partnership #PrivateMarkets #InstitutionalInvestors #CapitalMarkets #BusinessGrowth #Innovation

Steve Moore and guest Jay Jackson, CEO of Abacus Global Management, explore the intersection of financial literacy, longevity, and personal assets. The conversation begins with a critique of global spending priorities before pivoting to the "tragedy" of unutilized life insurance policies, which Jackson identifies as valuable personal property that can be sold for immediate liquidity rather than being allowed to lapse. By utilizing medical profiling and longevity data, Abacus helps seniors understand their "life arc" to better manage retirement costs and avoid the psychological burden of outliving their savings.  Learn more about your ad choices.

While there are thousands of RIAs, only a small portion have truly differentiated their businesses and their "why" in a way that allows them to create a unique brand identity. Abacus Wealth Partners, led by CEO Neela Hummel, has grown to over $3 billion in AUM by ensuring the firm - no matter how large it becomes - stays true to its core values and identity. Abacus was the first certified B-Corp in financial services, and Neela shares with Emigrant's Mark Bruno how this has allowed the firm to speak directly to a targeted segment of investors - and employees - and "differentiate by design."

Abacus Global Management is entering a new chapter with its move to the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABX.

He also shares how proprietary data and technology are positioning the firm for its next phase of growth.

I dive into the Human Rights Foundation's look at Bitcoin's quantum vulnerability - what's real, what's hype, and what would it take to truly secure the network. Then I unpack the social and technical chaos such a shift would demand, from wallet redesigns to the moral question of whether “fixing” the past would break Bitcoin's principles.

Ever wonder what really happens when I “tabulate the results using an abacus”?This is The Abacus Files — eight straight minutes of pure, mystical nonsense pulled from the fever dream that is my creative process. A parade of psychic ferrets, deep-fried deep fryers, face bidets, kumquat bongs, and ceramic televangelists with spiderweb crowns — all gathered around one sacred desk to divine the true order of The Tragically Hip's Top 40.It's equal parts séance, satire, and studio detritus — a love letter to the absurd rituals behind the show. Somewhere between noir and nostalgia, math and magic, you'll find The Abacus Files: a companion piece to chaos, and maybe the most honest thing we've ever done.So grab a candle that smells like nachos and regret. The spreadsheet gods demand tribute.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/tthtop40/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In 1903 werd de olifant Topsy gedood op Coney Island (New York), door middel van een elektrische stroomstoot. De executie was groot nieuws, maar gebeurde niet op aansturen van Edison - al werd het feit wel gedocumenteerd door een filmploeg van Edison Manufacturing Company.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Korea's brief but significant period as an empire as it moved from the 500-year-old dynastic Joseon monarchy towards modernity. It was in October 1897 that King Gojong declared himself Emperor, seizing his chance when the once-dominant China lost to Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War. The king wanted to have the same status as the neighbouring Russian, Chinese and Japanese Emperors, to shore up a bid for Korean independence and sovereignty when the world's major powers either wanted to open Korea up to trade or to colonise it. The Korean Empire lasted only thirteen years, yet it was a time of great transformation for this state and the whole region with lasting consequences in the next century…With Nuri Kim Associate Professor in Korean Studies at the faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Wolfson CollegeHolly Stephens Lecturer in Japanese and Korean Studies at the University of EdinburghAnd Derek Kramer Lecturer in Korean Studies at the University of SheffieldProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Isabella Bird Bishop, Korea and her Neighbors: A Narrative of Travel, With an Account of the Recent Vicissitudes and Present Position of the Country (first published 1898; Forgotten Books, 2019)Vipan Chandra, Imperialism, Resistance and Reform in Late Nineteenth-Century Korea: Enlightenment and the Independence Club (University of California, Institute of East Asian Studies, 1988)Peter Duus, The Abacus and the Sword: The Japanese Penetration of Korea, 1859-1910 (University of California Press, 1995)Carter J.
