The Guardian reported that Jeff Bezos and the UK government invested in British AI startup CuspAI at an estimated £2 billion valuation. The deal highlights the UK's strategy to pair public funding with high profile private capital to attract advanced AI development. Amazon invested up to $4 billion in Anthropic in 2023 and 2024, aligning the lab with AWS infrastructure. The UK announced a £225 million Isambard AI supercomputer and a £900 million compute expansion, and launched a £100 million Frontier AI Taskforce and the AI Safety Institute. British Patient Capital's £375 million Future Fund Breakthrough supports late stage deep tech co-investments. Founders face implications for talent, compute access, and cross border expansion decisions, with UK visa programs and the US H 1B cap shaping hiring strategies.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

CuspAI, het Nederlands-Britse AI-bedrijf dat nieuwe materialen ontdekt met hulp van AI, heeft een Series B-financieringsronde van in totaal 450 miljoen dollar behaald. Daar doen naast Jeff Bezos, Nvidia en Meta ook onder meer Invest-NL en het Britse overheids-AI-fonds aan mee. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Verder in deze Tech Update: Google zou een efficiëntere AI-chip hebben ontwikkeld onder de naam Frozen v2, zo meldt The Information, waar aandeelhouders enthousiast op reageren See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bloomberg reported that Jeff Bezos backed an AI startup focused on discovering new materials for chipmaking, with no company name or deal terms disclosed. The report aligns with rising use of AI in materials research, including DeepMind's 2023 GNoME results and a Microsoft and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory effort that produced a battery electrolyte candidate in under nine months. Amazon Web Services' custom chips, including Graviton, Trainium, and Inferentia, underscore strategic interest in semiconductor performance and supply. The CHIPS and Science Act authorized $52.7 billion in incentives and R&D, with 2024 awards of up to $8.5 billion for Intel, $6.6 billion for TSMC, and $6.4 billion for Samsung. Materials vendors such as Applied Materials, Lam Research, Tokyo Electron, JSR, Tokyo Ohka Kogyo, EMD Electronics, Entegris, Shin Etsu, and SUMCO shape qualification paths. Startups face long validation cycles and can pursue joint development, milestone based licensing, and data partnerships to reach production.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Here they come again: Billionaires, wailing that Congress must – MUST! – act immediately to slash the monthly Social Security checks that middle-class and poor retirees count on.Plutocratic elites and their anti-government ideologues periodically erupt in outrage that elderly Americans who've earned retirement benefits are depleting the Social Security Trust Fund. So, they exclaim, government must cut the payments these old folks are getting.But wait – it's not “the government's money.” It belongs to the retirees themselves. They've paid monthly payroll taxes into the fund for years on the guarantee that they would later draw benefits out.Maybe so, bark opponents, but the money well is going dry, so the only way to “save” the program is to chop payments owed to beneficiaries.In three words: That's a lie.What the superwealthy don't want us to notice is that the Social Security tax is spectacularly unfair. If your yearly income is less than $185,000 (which includes 95% of us) – every penny of your earnings is subject to retirement tax. But if you're paid a million a year, or a billion, or even more – everything over $185,000 is tax free. Sweet!Wait, there's more. Instead of being paid wages, most über-wealthy people draw their annual income from a Wall Street scheme called “unrealized capital gains.” Big surprise – those gains are totally exempted from our nation's retirement tax.This is Jim Hightower saying… So, let's make Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and other tax-dodging billionaires pay on all of their income like the rest of us do. That's only fair. Then America can increase benefits so everyone can have a dignified retirement. Now that's true fairness!Do something!To get involved with the fight to make sure Social Security and other social safety net programs stay strong, check out Social Security Works at socialsecurityworks.org.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

We are never going to Mars. And the billionaires selling you the dream are lying to your face. SUPPORT MY WORK: Buy a paid subscription to my newsletter at usermag.co            Support my work on Patreon: http://patreon.com/taylorlorenz    The idea of living on Mars has become one of Silicon Valley's biggest promises. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and other tech billionaires claim humanity's future depends on becoming a multi-planetary species. But what if nearly everything you've been told about colonizing Mars is quite literally scientifically impossible?In this week's episode of Power User, I sat down with physicist and science journalist Adam Becker, author of More Everything Forever, a fantastic book that I absolutely loved, to break down the biggest myths about Mars colonization, SpaceX, AI, and Silicon Valley's vision of the future.  We discuss why Mars is far more hostile than most people realize, the scientific barriers that make permanent settlement nearly impossible, and why billionaires continue selling this vision despite knowing it will never become reality. We cover:Why humans will literally NEVER live on MarsThe biggest scientific problems SpaceX can't solveThe truth about Elon Musk's Mars colony plansWhy Silicon Valley keeps selling science fiction as realityHow AI and space colonization became part of the same billionaire narrativeWhy investing in Earth may matter far more than escaping it

https://youtu.be/31XywTpVWJ4 Robin Dimond, Founder and CEO of Fifth & Cor, is helping organizations tap into the growth of their people by developing future leaders, fostering meaningful relationships, and creating a culture where employees and clients grow together. Through a collaborative agency model built on trust, innovation, and continuous learning, Robin empowers organizations to adapt quickly while creating lasting success. In this conversation, Robin introduces her Grow Your People’s Lives in 5 Ways Framework—Health, Wealth, Spirituality, Friends & Family, and Mental Health. She explains why investing in the whole person creates stronger leaders, how requiring employees to train their replacements builds a sustainable leadership pipeline, and why every client engagement begins with a discovery process and strategic blueprint. Robin also explains how fostering innovation, embracing AI as a tool rather than a replacement for human judgment, and remaining agile help organizations thrive in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape. — Tap Into the Growth of Your People with Robin Dimond  Good day. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint, and today my guest is Robin Dimond, the Founder and CEO of Fifth & Cor, a marketing and innovation company harnessing the best tools to support brands, consumers, and communities. Robin, welcome to the show.  Thank you so much for having me, Steve. I appreciate it.  Well, it’s exciting to have you, and we already have some things in common that might or might not come up in the conversation. But what I’d like to ask you, which is kind of my favorite question on this show, is: What is your personal ‘Why’, and how are you manifesting it in Fifth & Cor? I think my personal why—I know what it is. My personal ‘Why’ is my legacy. And because I do not have children of my own, I get the great pleasure of being able to touch so many lives through employees, clients, and partners. So I get to live my ‘Why’ out every day. And I’m a little bit different than most CEOs. I’m looking for the next CEO to replace me. So I go in with the mindset of, “One of you will take my job one day,” and it makes me super happy. That’s my ‘Why’.  Wow. So what do you want to be when you grow up?  What I want to be when I grow up? Technically, I’d like to be the janitor. I believe in cleaning up the messes that are left, and I love that. I love the difficult clients. I love the difficult situations. And I think I’ll step down one day and be the support for somebody who’s currently on my team or the next person to join my team.  Wow. That is awesome. So you want to focus on the message as opposed to running the day-to-day, because that’s where your interests life and where you’re building your legacy.  Yes, I think that is. They call it a Chief Heart Officer in some places. It’s that person who makes sure that the message of the company, what it’s built on, and its foundation are seen all the way through. And that’s the part I love.  Yeah. So you’re a real visionary.  Yes.  So we’ll talk more about your vision, but what I want to ask you about is this podcast is really about frameworks. What we’re trying to do here is find unique frameworks, processes, structures, or ways of looking at the world that CEOs have come up with that could help audience members think about business through a different lens. So is there anything that comes to mind along those lines?  What we found that really works for us is when meeting somebody, we talk to them. Then we do a discovery to figure out if we're aligned, and we find that to be very helpfulShare on X whether it’s with people, partnerships, or clients. So that discovery process, to make sure we’re all on the same page, is so important. From there, we build out a blueprint for them, and then we present the blueprint as if we were the ones running the business. We want to make sure that we’re answering those questions.  We make sure that we’re doing that, and then we have checkpoints. So we sit with a blueprint, saying, “Okay, over the next 30, 60, and 90 days, what are our processes?” The thing that we do differently than most companies is you don’t get an account executive when you come to us. You get a team of people, and you’ll see all their faces all the time. So there is no miscommunication. If you hire us, you get a team. You’ll get a director who’s overseeing your strategy.  You’ll get a coordinator who’s on top of trends. You’ll get a public relations person. And you’ll get a project manager who oversees—we call them our handlers—because they oversee the project all the way through. It has made us successful, and it’s made our clients super successful.  I love it. Especially the blueprint part of it, because it kind of chimes with the framework. So is this your blueprint? How is it unique?  It is, because everyone told us, when you look at agencies or agency models—and we try not to refer to ourselves as that—an agency model will have one account executive, and that person goes back—I call them the man behind the curtain—because they go back and talk to everyone.  What we do is say, “Hey, you’ve hired us, and you’ve hired experts.” We put all of them copied on every email, on every call, working on strategy with your team. And that’s why some of our results are 10,000% growth on your platforms in only 90 days, because we can all work together as a team.  Wow. So that’s very interesting because it’s not an easy thing to pull off—  Nope. To have so many people work together. But maybe that’s the secret sauce here.  The secret sauce is you can’t even get promoted at this company if you don’t hire your replacement. So if you haven’t trained someone behind you, don’t come and ask me for a raise. Don’t ask for a promotion. You should come and say, “Hey, Morgan’s ready to move into my spot. This is how I got her here. I’m ready now to be promoted to the next role.” So we are building tiny leaders behind us who are building teams.  That’s such music to my ears. Yes, I mean, it’s all about leaders building a company, right?  Yes. I totally agree with that. So how do you do that? How do you even do that? Does it mean that any subject matter expert you hire has to be a leader first and foremost? You can’t have someone who just wants to be a specialist stay a specialist?  So I say, “If you’re not growing, you’re dying.” So it should be in some way. It starts in the interview process, and I think this is where a lot of CEOs miss. In the interview process, we start with those questions. Where do you see yourself? Who are the five people you surround yourself with? What do you bring to the table? Asking those very open-ended questions.  Where do you see yourself going? Some people are so honest, Steve. I’d love to bring you on interviews because they’re so honest. They’re like, “Oh, I want to go to law school.” I’m like, “Great. So your time here is going to be short. It’s going to be the next year. What are you going to do in that next year?” “I’m going to help you with contracts.” “Perfect. Okay, let’s get your portfolio looking better so you can go on to the next thing.”  Sometimes we’ll get a subject matter expert who is hyper-focused on public relations, but they say, “I want to be a creative director.” “Okay, great. So during your time here, what are you going to learn? What courses can we invest in you? What trips can we take you on?” So we work with people who have a growth plan of their own and are willing to be agile. That starts at the bottom and moves toward the top.Share on X  That’s genius. Working with people who have a growth plan. Because ultimately, if they don’t have a growth plan, then most likely they’re not going to grow, because you can’t just grow without a plan, right? If you don’t have a vision for growth, it’s not going to happen. Does it mean you’re flexible enough to adapt, to some degree, to these people with a growth plan so that you can share in the fruits of their growth?  Absolutely. We have people start in one section. So we have operations, growth, and delivery. We’ll have someone start in delivery and see that they’re so good at operations that we’ll move them, and then backfill their role. So we have people who move horizontally as well as vertically into different groups. I think that’s the part where you have to be open with your team. You have to say, “Hey, Steve, you’re not that great at creative.  You know that.” And you’re like, “Yes.” And I’m like, “But you are so amazing at operations. Let’s move you over there.” Or, “Steve, you’re such a great thought leader, and I’ve wanted to start a podcast. I’d like to bring you in. Let’s backfill your other role that you started with at our company.” So it’s having that open dialogue from day one and having the team be able to recognize where they’re strong and where they need to move.  I love it. Love it. So what are the challenges with this model?  So many. When I first started, I think I saw what was not working. Before, for you to get ahead, you had to… I spent my time in New York. You had to outpace that person. You had to kind of put the other person down so that you could get promoted. And I saw some negatives in that. This, I would say, is about being transparent and being vulnerable.  It’s also admitting where my mistakes lie or where my weaknesses are. I have dyslexia, so I should never proofread anything for anyone, truthfully. So it’s about being vulnerable. Sometimes that leads to not the greatest people coming into your company because you’re putting yourself out there with that vulnerability. But for every bad apple, there are 20 great apples out there. Yeah, I mean, this is beautiful. I always believe that in order to have people trust you, you kind of have to trust them first. That’s a fragile thing, and you have to put yourself out there. Okay, some people are going to take advantage of it, and you have to…  They are, and it happens. I think every business owner or any leader has to realize that that’s going to happen. But that’s going to happen in your dating life. That’s going to happen in relationships. It’s going to happen in partnerships. In business. It’s going to happen.  But the great part, and the great reward, is seeing someone else come alongside and take your business to the next level, or take your clients to the next level. I think it’s worth being vulnerable to gain that traction.  Yeah, because those people don’t want to work for A-holes, right? They want real people who treat them as equals in some ways because they’re also very talented people. So Robin, let me switch gears here and ask you: what drives growth in Fifth & Cor?  I think what drives growth is our innovation. And we're able to adapt very quickly. In a world where marketing is constantly changingShare on X and I don’t know what the correct term is, Steve, but I say “squished”—we’re getting pressure from the platforms, from social media changes and updates, all of that. We get changes in our coding.  We get changes and pressure from our clients. And we get industry changes. From Boomers to Millennials to Gen X, there’s constant change, so we have to be agile. In our industry, when I started, it was doing billboards. Design was a long process. Now, if we’re not adapting and changing every 30 to 60 days, we can’t keep up. So I can’t make a roadmap or a blueprint for our company three years out. TikTok was here one day.  It was gone the next day. Then it came back again. So planning and strategizing means being agile, being flexible, and being able to move around that for clients so that they don't lose their numbers. I think that's what's driving growth. We're extremely innovative, and we think quickly on our feet.Share on X Can you give me an example?  Yes. I would say the TikTok one is a huge one because we were like, “Clients, you’re about to lose TikTok. They’re warning it’s going to disappear.” Then the next day it was back. So we came up with complete strategies to get rid of it and then bring it back. The next is PR. Sometimes the world changes.  Unfortunately, September 11, we had some other things happen in the news that were really big. It was something where we had to go to our clients and say, “Look, we need a new plan. We need a change. We cannot be tone-deaf right now going into it.” I mean, that all happened, obviously, in September. It was a really rapid change in what was going on. Another example is Shopify went down last week, so all of our clients’ websites went down. There was nothing we were doing.  It was something outside of our control. But we sat there with our clients and said, “Okay, let’s ramp up your social. Let’s go live with some videos and talk about it. Let’s do a press release about how you didn’t lose sales during this time and how you’re going to bounce back.” So it’s constantly thinking on our feet. It’s constantly communicating with our clients and saying, “Look, this happened outside of our control—and yours. This is how we’re going to fix it.”  Yeah. That’s amazing. So how do you keep the team? We talked about how you’re attracting these A players to your business and being flexible to make sure that you tap into their desire to grow, and you grow with them—their way and your way, obviously. But how do you get all these stars to work together? So culture comes from the bottom up. It doesn’t come from me. That would be a dictatorship. So culture comes from the people we hire, and we let them run with new ideas, and they take ownership of those ideas. We did not have public relations four years ago. That was someone else’s idea, and now it’s one of our largest service lines. Project management is another one.  We were not ready to do project management, but people kept seeing our project managers, and they were like, “Well, can we just hire them? Can we just hire them to do this service?” They saw our projects through. So even if someone wasn’t using marketing, they were using our project managers for tech implementations, events, and marketing.  So we’ve created opportunities for people to grow with us. But if you come with us, we say you have to grow in five areas of your life. Health. We actually have a challenge right now, Steve, if you want to join it. It’s who can walk the most miles in June. So health is a challenge to make sure we focus on your health. Yeah.  And we have health-related activities—kayaking. It’s on my LinkedIn posts if you want to go look. We do wealth. We want to make sure you're debt-free. When you come to us, you don't have to be, but we want to make sure you're working with our CFO to become financially independent.Share on X If you’re going to buy a home, we want you to be financially responsible outside of our company.  So in case something does happen, you’re growing toward that. We want you to grow spiritually—whatever you believe your spiritual growth is. If that’s going outside and lying in the grass, if it’s going to your church, if it’s giving back to your community, there should be a spiritual challenge. We look at your family and friends. They don’t have to be blood relatives, but you should be intentional about what you’ve done for your family and friends to help them grow. Whether it’s a family dinner…  You’ll see my team posting about their family dinners on LinkedIn. You’ll see them talking about taking time to do activities with them. So we look at five areas of their lives, making sure they’re growing, and we have challenges to support that. And then mental is the last one. What books did you read? What courses did you take? What did you do to advance yourself?  And Steve, they hold me accountable. They’re like, “Did you finish that CEO book, or are you going to…?” I’m like, “Oh my gosh. Okay. Let me do it.” So it’s something our team can challenge. And if you don’t want to participate, that’s okay. But we’re probably not the company you should be joining.  That is amazing. So people really look after each other. You have this peer accountability going that makes sure everyone is healthy, gets out of their financial challenges, has a social network around them, and takes care of their mental health. That is amazing.  Isn’t that too much for a company to take on? That could be seen as a huge burden—that you worry about all those people in so many different ways, and then you worry about your clients, and you want to make sure your people work together. Doesn’t that become overwhelming sometimes?  I don’t have to work with my clients because I have the most amazing team. I work and focus on my team, and my team’s love and joy get passed on to our clients. It’s a pass-it-down, share-it kind of thing. When they’re happy, healthy, and financially wise, they take care of our clients better than I could ever. They know their birthdays. They know their activities. They know different things. We’re constantly monitoring that. I’m supposed to take care of our team.  Isn’t that something that… I don’t know if it was Jeff Bezos in the early days…  Back in his early days, he did say that. And I want to be focused on that. I want to be innovative. We reward innovation. If you come up with a new way of doing something, you can win prizes, bonuses, gift cards. It is always a challenge: how could you do something better? Someone solved something the other day that we couldn’t figure out for the past three years. I was like, “Open up your email. There’s a gift card in there.” We want to reward people. We want them to enjoy the bonuses of doing different things and thinking outside the box.  That’s very exciting. It sounds like you’re running a perfect business.  No, it’s not perfect. People are messy, and I want other business owners to see that. There are some days that I look at the day and I’m like, “Oof, this is a big one.” Or it’s saying goodbye to the people who don’t fit into that culture, who might be the bad apples. That’s hard.  Not every person we bring on is the right fit. Not every person wants to grow. Some people want to be button-pushers for the rest of their lives, and we might have missed that. Those are the challenging days. Some days, when you get super involved in people’s lives, it means you get super involved in life. Their health might diminish, and you have to step in and take over. We had somebody who fell backward and fractured their skull. Well, we had to keep going while they recovered. That whole part isn’t easy. It’s scary. There are some days I’m like, “What the heck am I doing, Steve?” I say that a lot. But looking back, it’s rewarding.  So Robin, what is one thing that you’re actively trying to figure out in your business?  Right now it’s where the industry is headed, and we’re actively, all day, every day, trying to figure that out. We are seeing the most innovation happen during these times, and keeping up with it is exhausting. To give you an example, the printing press came. The car came. Right now, it’s the next generation, who were born with one of these in their hand. Whether it’s AI that’s coming, or something else, every day there’s something new being released. So it’s, how do we adapt, but also not get burned out? That is the biggest thing I’m trying to solve right now.  Yeah.  So if anyone would like to help me, please email me. I’ll buy you cocktails or coffee. I’ll do either one, because that is exhausting for a business owner right now.  So what part of adapting is the risky part? Give me an example of adapting and risking burnout.  The burnout comes from trying to stay on top of what’s new every day, whether it’s a new platform that came out or whether it’s AI that’s going to replace all your marketing people. It’s about being flexible, but also being smart and not making too many decisions too quickly. Our advisory board is my backbone.  There are five advisors who pour into us, who are sounding boards and give as much time as possible. I think they’re the ones who keep me in line. I didn’t have them at first, so I would recommend getting a board of advisors that you really trust, that you can look at their lives, and they can show you where burnout could happen.Share on X  And if you had a magic wand and you could fix something inside your business, what would that be in the next 12 months?  If I had a magic wand and I could fix anything inside our business, I think I would fix the rate at which we’re growing, if that makes sense. We’re growing way faster than I thought, and my magic wand would be to have enough systems in place to keep up with it. Once we build a system, we outgrow that system, and I’m like, “Cheese and crackers, we’ve already outbuilt it.” So I think it would be staying on that hamster wheel, making sure we put more infrastructure in place. Yeah, and with AI, it’s a different kind of operating system for a company, isn’t it? It is.  AI needs to be used across everything. AI should be in your business. You should be using it. You should be leveraging it. But AI can’t replace people. I think that’s the biggest thing. It’s being able to adapt your team into AI-powered systems, while also having them use their judgment and their brains. They’re going back and checking it.  Yeah. You know what I’m wondering sometimes about AI is, yes, it is making us very productive. I can get a lot more done. But at the same time, I have to make a lot more decisions, so the cognitive load has increased.  My brain load never decreased with AI. I now have to solve problems faster, and I think that’s where people are missing it. People are like, “Well, my blogs will write themselves now.” I’m like, “Okay, but who’s putting in the content for your blogs?” Or, “Oh, it’s going to put this product on my website faster.” Okay, but who’s double-checking it?  Where’s the shipping going? Where are the numbers going? People need to think about the fact that we’re doing things way faster. And then there’s fatigue. We’re being exposed to things at the swipe of a finger. You can see six, seven, eight things happening, and that’s exhausting. What is happening to the mental load of decision-making? Yeah. And then at the same time, it’s not just that we have to make more decisions, but there’s more noise out in the market. So you’re out-competing… Okay, everyone else is more productive, so it’s just a war of… what’s the opposite of a war of attrition?  I don’t even know. I know what you’re talking about, but it’s like you have to be so intentional now. Yeah. It’s the war of overwhelm, basically. Yes. The war of overwhelm. Yeah, that’s wonderful. Okay, but let’s go back to Fifth & Cor. Basically, you’ve come out of your discovery with this blueprint, and then you have this team approach. These people are all fully self-realizing in the five areas of their lives, and they’re coming together, working together, and incorporating AI. So who is an ideal client that can really take advantage of everything you can do? Not just parts of it, but everything. What’s the ideal client for you?  I love that question. An ideal client is not an industry or a revenue number they have to have. An ideal client is someone who comes with a problem and is flexible and agile enough to let us come up with a solution. And they’re a true partner. We’ve had a client who’s been with us for four and a half years, all the way since our inception, and they’ve been able to roll with all the new changes.  They trust us. So it’s someone who is innovative in their business. They’re willing to be agile as they move. That is the perfect client. Revenue does not matter. You can have all the revenue in the world, but if you’re slow to adapt or you’re not willing to go with the times and the changes, that’s a problem. What we did pre-Covid does not work right now. The same things that worked six months ago don’t work now. So the ideal client must be someone who’s willing to be innovative, attract new ideas, and execute quickly.  Do you have a way to help your clients be more like that?  Yes. Even in our onboarding stakeholder session, before we do a discovery call and present the proposal, we talk to them about that. We help them get set up. We come up with SOPs so they have documented processes throughout the entire engagement. I always say, “In case we get hit by the lottery bus…”  That’s my way of saying, if we disappear tomorrow, you have systems in place so your business won’t need us. So we help them grow, and then we have checkpoints with them. “Okay, are we doing this? These are the results. This is what you trusted us with over the past 30 days. Here’s what we’re doing over the next 30 days.” So we’re constantly meeting with them and saying these things. The clients who don’t work out long-term are the ones who say, “No, we’ve always done it this way, and we’re going to keep doing it that way.”  Those are the ones where I’m like, “Well, why did you even call us? If you’ve always done it that way and you weren’t getting results, that’s the definition of insanity.” So it’s clients who are willing to move with us, move with the times, and are willing to bring in other teams. I love that. They’ll bring in their tech team, or they’ll bring in their logistics team, to sit there and say, “Okay, what are we doing, and how do we take it to the next level?” Love it. And you can only do this with A players because otherwise it would be very painful. Love it. So if you’re listening to this podcast and Robin Dimond explaining her business and how she’s putting her employees first and making sure they have a well-rounded life so they can live up to their potential inside the business, while also harnessing their own growth ideas, so you’re tapping into what they already want to do.  Then the clients are brought along, and the same thing happens to them. They’re inspired, they’re challenged to do better, and then you help them. So if you want to be a client who enjoys that kind of approach, then my question to you, Robin, is: where can they find you and your colleagues, and what should be their first step? Perfect. You can find us at fifthandcor.com. Fifth represents the five senses, and Cor is Latin for “heart.” So that’s the reason why we do everything—the heart behind our senses. So, fifthandcor.com, or you can find us on LinkedIn. You can personally reach out to me. It’s Robin Dimond. I’d love to connect with you. I already have 30,000 connections, so I’d love to do that and set up a meeting with you.  That’s fantastic. Both my parents were doctors. My dad passed away, but my mother is still a dermatologist, and my dad was a cardiologist. They had a company, and it was called Dermacor, which is basically the skin and the heart. I love that. Yeah. Well, now that we know we’re related… I feel like that’s just part of our story too.  Yeah, that’s a Central European idea, perhaps. So if you enjoyed this episode, obviously reach out to Fifth & Cor, find out more about what Robin and her team are up to, and stay tuned because every week I bring a wonderful entrepreneur like Robin who’s got great ideas, and you can try to steal their ideas. So thanks for coming, Robin, and thanks for listening.  Thank you. Important Links: Robin's LinkedIn Robin's  website

Story of the Week (DR):Social Media's 'Big Tobacco Moment': Meta Faces $1.4 Trillion Fine for Allegedly Fueling Teen Suicide and AddictionMeta is being sued by 33 US states, led by California, Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey.12 blue/12 red/9 purpleThe states allege that Meta deliberately designed Facebook and Instagram to be addictive to children and teens, fueling a youth mental health crisis (including anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide).They also accuse Meta of violating child privacy laws by collecting data from children under 13 without parental consent.Meta warned a federal court that it could face up to $1.4T in penalties if the states prevail at the upcoming trial (set for August 18, 2026). Meta extrapolated this massive figure—which is roughly equivalent to the company's entire stock market value—based on the methodology proposed by the lead states for calculating damages.Meta calls the penalty "outlandish" and "unsubstantiated," arguing it has no precedent in consumer protection history: 'A sanction of that size has no analog in the history of consumer protection enforcement.' The company accuses the states of improperly multiplying penalties (e.g., stacking fines based on daily usage time). Meta denies the allegations, asserting its platforms have extensive safety tools and that the claims are unmoored from actual unfair practices.‘I Don't Think I'm Ever Going to Stop,' Says Mark Zuckerberg. Even With 'Infinite Money,' He Has No Plans to Retreat to His Massive Hawaii EstateMeta found to breach EU laws with 'addictive' Instagram, Facebook designsInstagram and Facebook's “addictive” designs have put Meta in breach of the European Union's digital laws, the EU concluded Friday in a preliminary report.The tech giant violated the EU's Digital Services Act by failing to adequately consider the risks associated with design features that affected the physical well-being of its users, including minors and vulnerable adults, the European Commission said.These features include infinite scroll, which constantly shows fresh content, autoplay, push notifications and highly personalized recommendation systems — feeding users' compulsion to continue using platforms and putting them into “autopilot mode.”The EU Commission also accused Meta of ignoring available information about how much time young people are spending on Instagram or Facebook at night, and how different types of content formats, from reels to stories, could lead to excessive use of its services.Meta said, “We disagree with these preliminary findings.”New Zealand Moves To Ban Climate Change Litigation.

Before David, he built RXBAR in his parents' basement with $10k and sold it to Kellogg for $600M.We get into why he basically rebuilt the same company again, how buying his own ingredient supplier made a food business venture-backable, why RXBAR's paleo positioning was a trap, the EPG fat technology behind David, how GLP-1's have changed diet trends forever, selling cans of fish as a marketing weapon, the lawsuit that got him 120M impressions in a week, and why he studies fashion houses instead of food companies.Thank you to Numeral, Flex, Amplitude, and Merge for supporting this episode.Numeral: Sales tax on autopilot https://www.numeral.comFlex: Premium banking, 60-day credit, 0% APR https://home.flex.one/referral/bananacapitalAmplitude: AI analytics https://www.amplitude.comMerge: Every model, one API https://www.merge.dev/turnerTimestamps:(0:00) David: Tools to increase muscle, decrease fat(2:24) Making nutrition evidence-based, not ideological(4:27) $300M revenue in year two(5:19) Why he rebuilt the same company again(7:12) Do what you're already good at(9:57) In food, the only edge is brand(12:13) The RXBAR playbook and $600M exit(14:20) RXBAR's original positioning was too fragile(15:25) Designing David from first principles(18:22) Why people don't eat protein bars(19:33) Building a multi-brand company that lasts(25:44) How EPG made David venture-backable(29:44) The Medici name and structure(31:38) Food entrepreneurs are Luddites(33:37) Why Big Food can't innovate(38:21) Beverage is a better business than food(40:34) Deciding which products to launch(43:21) GLP-1's ended diet trends forever(48:09) Looking good is the new status symbol(51:30) Sleep first, exercise second, nutrition third(54:35) Brand is just a unique human being(59:05) Humor travels(1:01:09) Marketing is finding mispriced attention(1:06:35) When to bail on a marketing trend(1:09:05) What makes a good meme(1:10:00) Why David sold cans of fish(1:13:30) How to navigate a lawsuit(1:17:02) 120M impressions from a lawsuit(1:18:52) Lessons from Bezos and Brad Jacobs(1:23:30) Why the best brands are fashion and beauty(1:25:00) Women set cultureReferencedDavid: https://davidprotein.com/EPG / Epogee: https://epogee.com/Whoop: https://www.whoop.com/Oura: https://ouraring.com/Fort: https://fort.cx/David Rumors TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@davidprotein/video/7616855415875210510Founders Podcast: https://www.founderspodcast.com/How to Make a Few Billion Dollars by Brad Jacobs: https://www.amazon.com/How-Make-Few-Billion-Dollars/dp/B0CHTQP25TFollow PeterTwitter: https://x.com/PeterRahalLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-rahal-037bba43Follow TurnerTwitter: https://twitter.com/TurnerNovakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/turnernovakSubscribe to my newsletter to get every episode + the transcript in your inbox every week: https://www.thespl.it/

This episode of  Undressed with Pol' and Patrik is packed with hilarious debates, celebrity fashion critiques, behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories, and one of our favorite conversations with the incredibly talented Wendy Braun. We kick things off with our Haute Topics segment, diving into workplace burnout, mandatory team building, LinkedIn culture, artificial intelligence, and whether ChatGPT is making people more creative—or simply making everyone lazy. Wendy shares her unique perspective on company culture, authenticity, auditions, and why loving what you do may be the ultimate cure for burnout. Then we tackle one of the biggest headlines of the year—Elon Musk potentially becoming the world's first trillionaire. What starts as a funny conversation about having Elon's baby quickly turns into a deeper discussion about philanthropy, responsibility, Mars, space travel, and how unimaginable wealth could change the future of humanity. Things get surprisingly emotional as we discuss teamwork, trust, relationships, toxic environments, and how actors survive constant rejection while staying authentic. Wendy shares incredible wisdom about auditions, not attaching meaning to rejection, and why showing up as your authentic self is the greatest competitive advantage anyone can have. We also pull back the curtain on AI, LinkedIn culture, Amazon productions, NDA secrets, meeting Jeff Bezos, and why Hollywood often keeps projects hidden for years before audiences ever see them. Next it's time for one of our favorite segments—Runway Rundown—where no celebrity is safe. We hilariously critique red carpet looks from Ariana DeBose, Drew Barrymore, and Maya Rudolph, discussing tailoring, styling disasters, proportions, craftsmanship, and why expensive fashion doesn't always equal fabulous fashion. Along the way we share unforgettable stories about designing for the legendary Betty White, why the red carpet exists, and how fashion has the power to completely reinvent someone's career and confidence. The tables turn when Wendy becomes our surprise Runway Rundown winner after we discover one of her breathtaking editorial photo shoots. We break down every detail that made the image Vogue-worthy while talking modeling, movement, photography, and working with celebrity photographer Mike Ruiz. Then the laughs continue during our outrageous Game Time segment featuring "Company Retreat or Defeat," where Wendy hilariously chooses between trust falls, pyramid schemes, goat yoga, silent discos, rage rooms, axe throwing, therapy, and more. She even reveals the improv audition that landed one of her biggest roles, proving that sometimes goat yoga really can help you book a job. Filled with heartfelt advice, laugh-out-loud moments, Hollywood insider stories, celebrity fashion critiques, and unforgettable behind-the-scenes revelations, this episode reminds us that authenticity, confidence, kindness, and a little couture can change absolutely everything.

Dvorak on Twitter Follow Andrew Horowitz on Twitter Warm-Up - JOBS Number - Odd Move - Saylor is selling Bitcoin! - VEGGIE ALERT! - US RESUMES POWERFUL STRIKES ON IRAN (Is this still a ceasefire?) Markets - Starting off July on a Wobble - SpaceX added to NAZ100 - Oil prices drifting lower - Gas at the pump? - Oracle - Canary? World Cup? - USA is out... (Bad goalie move last night) IRAN - Looks like war is back on - at least for tonight - Oil rises about 3% on the news - US revokes Iran's ability to sell oil around the world - Markets don't seem overly concerned - VIX still low at 16 - Odds that this will be more than a quick in and out? --- Could it be that Iran was waiting until after the Funeral? JOBS COOL, FED STILL HOT - June payrolls came in at +57,000, well under the +110,000 estimate. - April and May were revised down by a combined 74,000 jobs. - Unemployment slipped to 4.2%, but not for the best reason: the labor force shrank by 720,000 people. - Labor-force participation fell to 61.5%, the lowest in more than five years. - Leisure and hospitality lost 61,000 jobs, a notable hit to the consumer-service economy. - Average hourly earnings rose $0.13 in June. - Fed setup: weaker hiring argues for patience, but inflation is still above target, so the market is back to parsing every Fed sentence. - - Fed Funds Futures Now only ONE Raise by Year-End DOW RECORD, NASDAQ WOBBLE - The Dow closed at a record 52,900.07 after the soft jobs report cooled near-term rate-hike fear. - S&P 500 finished roughly flat. - Nasdaq fell about 0.8% as chip stocks dragged the tape lower. - The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped more than 5% on July 2. - Apple rose nearly 5% on iPhone launch optimism. - Nvidia and other AI/chip names stayed volatile after a huge first-half run. - Goldman client data showed hedge funds dumped tech hardware and semiconductor exposure for a fourth straight week. - The issue is not "AI is dead"; the issue is when all the AI capex turns into visible returns. TESLA BEATS DELIVERIES, STOCK STILL GETS HIT - Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles in Q2, a record quarter and above Wall Street expectations. - Production was 451,758 vehicles. - Model 3/Y made up 467,762 deliveries. - Other models were only 12,364. - Energy storage deployments were 13.5 GWh. - Shares fell about 7.5% after the report, the worst one-day drop in roughly a year. - Pressure points: margin worries, price cuts, demand sustainability, and the market questioning whether the EV story is enough at a very rich valuation. - As of Monday afternoon, TSLA was around $420 with a market cap near $1.49 trillion and a trailing P/E around 385. MORE MUSK - TESLA PUTS AI ON A BUDGET - Tesla reportedly capped employee spending on third-party AI tools at $200 per week starting July 6. - Grok was reportedly exempt from the cap. - Setup: Tesla wants employees using AI, but not running up unlimited outside-token bills. - Cost-control angle: AI is becoming a normal operating expense, not a science project. - Funny part: even at Tesla, the AI bill apparently needs a limiter. NVIDIA SERVER DELAY NOISE - Nvidia shares held up despite reports of delays tied to its next AI server architecture. - SemiAnalysis reportedly said Nvidia's Kyber architecture could slip by up to 12 months into 2028. - Nvidia pushed back and said its development roadmap is unchanged. - Mizuho called the delay report "noise" and said it was not a material issue for the stock. - NOTE:  Story is still report-driven, not company-confirmed. ORACLE - CANARY? - Oracle's stock fell 19% this week, the steepest drop since August 2001, the depths of the dot-com bust. - The company's capital expenditures surged 162% in the latest fiscal year, with almost $24 billion in negative free cash flow and $130 billion in debt. - Co-founder Larry Ellison has fallen behind the Google co-founders, Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Michael Dell on the list of the world's richest people. - After the company reached a peak market cap of $900 billion in September, on enthusiasm about Oracle's AI customers, the stock has lost about 55% of its value. - The crux of the problem is that for Oracle to fulfill its AI infrastructure commitment, primarily to OpenAI, it's having to raise record amounts of debt, creating balance sheet risk while focusing on lower-margin offerings. SPACEX ENTERS THE INDEX MACHINE - SpaceX is set to join the Nasdaq-100 on Tuesday after its recent IPO. - The company's valuation is around $2.1 trillion. - Its Nasdaq-100 weight will initially be under 1% because of limited public float. - Index-tracking funds tied to the Nasdaq-100 will need exposure, creating automatic demand. - Key issue: big valuation, small float, forced index buying. - Watch the lockup calendar: index inclusion can create near-term demand, but employee and insider selling later can change the supply picture. - Podcast angle: retail gets "SpaceX exposure" through QQQ, but not necessarily much exposure at first. STRATEGY SELLS BITCOIN TO PAY THE BILLS - Strategy sold 3,588 bitcoin last week for about $216 million. - Proceeds are being used for preferred-stock dividends and dollar reserves. - The company still holds 843,775 bitcoin, valued around $52 billion. - Q2 included an $8.32 billion paper loss tied to bitcoin weakness. - The company's average bitcoin purchase price is around $75,476. - Recent sale prices were around $59,000 to $61,000. - Funny part: the former "never sell" bitcoin treasury poster child is now selling bitcoin to service the capital structure. - Watch for copycats: any company that copied the bitcoin-treasury model may face the same liquidity math if crypto stays weak. MICROSOFT CUTS AGAIN - Microsoft said it will cut about 4,800 jobs. - Shares slipped nearly 1%. - Job cuts landed while investors are still rewarding AI spending. - The message? spend heavy on AI, cut elsewhere. --- Yes, AI is killing jobs... SERVICES HOLD AT 54 - ISM non-manufacturing PMI came in at 54.0. - Result matched expectations. - Reading above 50 means services activity is still expanding. - Market took it as firm enough for growth, not hot enough to force an immediate Fed move. EARNINGS SEASON STARTER - Delta and PepsiCo report this week. - Levi Strauss also reports this week. - Delta is the read on travel, premium demand, fuel, and consumer resilience. - PepsiCo is the read on snack pricing, volume, and lower-income consumer pressure. - Q2 earnings bar is high after the market's strong second-quarter rally. OIL BACK TO PRE-IRAN WAR LEVELS - Brent settled around $71.99. - WTI settled around $68.55. - OPEC+ approved another output-target increase for August, adding 188,000 barrels per day. - Since April, planned increases add up to nearly 800,000 barrels per day. - Crude exports through the Strait of Hormuz are recovering, taking some geopolitical premium out of the market. - Saudi Arabia cut official selling prices, another sign the market is shifting from shortage panic to buyer resistance. - Good for headline inflation if it sticks; bad for energy bulls who were pricing war-premium oil. SPR DRAWDOWN - U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell by 6.2 million barrels. - SPR level is now 319.5 million barrels. - That is the lowest level since April 1983. - Drawdown comes while oil prices are easing and OPEC+ is adding supply. - Energy setup: lower crude helps inflation, but reserve levels are historically thin. MORE OIL - CHINA BUYS THE DIP - China stepped up Middle East oil purchases as prices fell. - Saudi Arabia cut export prices to Asia to a six-year low. - Brent settled at $71.99. - WTI settled at $68.55. - OPEC+ approved another August production increase of 188,000 barrels per day. - Planned OPEC+ supply increases since April now total nearly 800,000 barrels per day. - Lower oil supports disinflation but raises questions about global demand.

CHINA NOT MESSING AROUND - A Chinese court handed a rare death sentence to a former official on corruption charges, in a severe punishment underscoring the intensity of President Xi Jinping's anti-graft crackdown. - Yang Youlin, a former vice director of an economic zone in the eastern city of Nanjing, was sentenced to death on Monday for taking more than 2.21 billion yuan ($325 million) of bribes between 2013 and 2023, according to the state broadcaster China Central Television. - Yang was found guilty also of embezzlement, abuse of power and money laundering. His crimes were “exceptionally grave” and caused massive losses, warranting the capital sentence, CCTV reported, citing the Changzhou Intermediate People's Court in Jiangsu province. DRONES - Dronemaker AeroVironment reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat on the top and bottom lines. - The company's funded backlog of $1.2 billion was up substantially over last year, but grew only slightly from the $1.1 billion last quarter. - Autonomous systems were a strong point with revenue of $492 million that beat the $402 million StreetAccount expectation.   Love the Show?

Hola Chicos! Have you ever stopped to think about what Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, NASA... and Spain all have in common?Most people would probably say, "Nothing."Well... that's exactly what we thought too.But what if we told you that one of the key inventions that made modern space travel possible wasn't created in the United States, or Russia, (former USSR), or anywhere you'd expect... but in Spain? Yes, you read well, Spain. Years before the Space Race even existed, before the Cold War pushed countries to compete for space, and nearly thirtyyears before anyone dreamed of walking on the Moon, one Spanish inventor came up with an idea that sounded completely impossible at the time: a suit that could keep a person alive beyond Earth's atmosphere.It sounds like something straight out of a science fiction novel.Except... it was real. Very. In this week's episode of Spanish Loops, Fran and I tell the story of a remarkable man who was so far ahead of his time that Europe celebrated his achievements, yet somehow history almost forgot him.How does that happen?How can someone make such an incredible contribution and still end up being almost unknown?That's exactly what we're going to find out.We'll take you through his life, his career, the obstacles he faced, and some amazing stories that hardly anyone talks about today. It's the kind of story that makes you wonder how many other great people have quietly slipped through the cracks of history. And here's the really fascinating part...If you've ever watched astronauts floating outside the International Space Station, seen a SpaceX rocket lift off,followed one of Blue Origin's launches, or simply looked up at the stars and wondered what it would be like to be there, then you've already seen the impact of this Spanish inventor's work, even if you've never heard his name. So come with us as we uncover one of Spain's greatest forgotten stories.If you enjoy the episode, we'd really appreciate it if you subscribed, left us a review, and shared it with yourfriends and family. It really helps us bring these hidden stories to more people. And don't be surprised if by the end of the episode, you're left asking yourself one simple question:Why on earth were we never taught this at school?

Unilever ziet een van zijn grote aandeelhouders weglopen. Een die al meer dan 15 jaar trouw was aan het bedrijf. Het gaat om fondsbeheerder Terry Smith. Die hard uithaalt naar de directie. Tegen de Financial Times zegt hij misleid te zijn door de directie. Unilever beloofde hem (net na de afsplitsing van de ijstak in 2025) geen grote onderdelen meer te verkopen. Maar ze deden het toch. De voedingstak ging eruit. Volgens Smith neemt niet de directie de grote beslissingen, maar activistische aandeelhouder Nelson Peltz. Hij zou achter de schermen de touwtjes in handen hebben. Deze aflevering kijken we wat dat voor jou als beleggers betekent. Is het nu een voordeel of toch een nadeel? Gaat het ook weer over het bezoek van handelsminister Sjoerd Sjoerdsma aan China. Hij was zelf optimistisch over zijn bezoek, maar daar denkt zijn Chinese college toch anders over. Hij zet Sjoerdsma gelijk aan het werk. Het is ook de aflevering waarin we het meerdere keren over Apple hebben. Het gaat over een Chinese chip die ze in China aan het testen zijn. In eigen land pleasen ze ondertussen het Witte Huis met een andere deal.

Want to scale your health practice and get your life back? Work with me 1-on-1 in our private advisory and mastermind - https://go.healthpreneurtraining.com/hp-mastery?el=yt-july5Most health practice owners eventually hit the same wall. The business is growing, revenue is up, and patients or clients are getting results, but too much still depends on you. The next level isn't about doing more. It's about building something bigger than yourself. A business that scales without relying on you for everything.That's why we created Healthpreneur Mastery.Mastery is the private advisory board and mastermind for leading health professionals doing at least $500,000 per year who want to build a business that creates greater profit, freedom, and impact.This isn't for beginners.It's for practitioners, practice owners, and health entrepreneurs who know they're capable of building something much bigger and don't want to figure it all out alone.Learn more about Healthpreneur Mastery here: https://go.healthpreneurtraining.com/hp-mastery?el=july5If the first question you ask before making a business investment is what is the ROI, you are already thinking too small. The greatest business leaders in the world, from Bezos to Steve Jobs, never led with that question.In this Episode I am sharing six reframes that will help you make bigger, better decisions the same way they do.Most practitioners and business owners default to ROI thinking because it feels safe and logical. But ROI measures what you can already predict, and the biggest opportunities in business are always the ones you cannot see yet. I walk through real examples from Amazon Prime, Netflix original content, and Apple Stores, plus a personal story of how an $18,000 mastermind investment led to a New York Times bestseller, a multi-million dollar book deal, and business outcomes that could never have been forecasted in advance. The six reframes I share in this video cover how to think about upside versus downside, the real cost of inaction, how to evaluate whether an investment builds an asset or increases your capabilities, and why almost every business decision you will ever make is completely reversible. If you are a health practitioner or coaching business owner who wants to think and make decisions like a leader instead of playing it safe, this is the video that changes your framework.

You sit down to work on your business, not in it, but on it. Two hours later you have a 14-page Google Doc, a color-coded spreadsheet, and a project management system you've never opened before. And you haven't done a single thing that moves the needle. That's not preparation. That's procrastination with lipstick on it. Over-planning is fear in disguise and it's the number one thing keeping smart entrepreneurs stuck. In this solo episode, George breaks down why concrete actions always beat elaborate strategies, the real cost of waiting until you feel ready, and the simple 24-hour rule that breaks the planning loop for good. This one pairs directly with last week's 3M capacity episode. Together, they're a daily execution playbook. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why over-planning is procrastination dressed up and how to spot it in yourself The Jeff Bezos 70% rule: why waiting for certainty kills momentum The three things small concrete actions give you that strategies never can Why clarity comes after action, not before it The 24-hour rule: one question that breaks any planning loop How to separate ideas worth pursuing from ones that only sound good on paper Why the market, not your Google Doc, is the only thing that gives you real data Key Takeaways: ✔️A perfect plan you never execute is just a very expensive journal entry. ✔️19% of businesses fail due to weak execution, not bad ideas, bad products, or bad markets. ✔️Most decisions should be made with about 70% of the information you wish you had. Waiting for 100% means the moment passes and the fear grows. ✔️Small, concrete actions create three things strategies never do: feedback, momentum, and clarity. ✔️Clarity is not a prerequisite for action. It is almost always a byproduct of it. You cannot think your way into clarity, you act your way into it. ✔️The 24-hour rule: anytime you find yourself over-planning, ask one question, what's the one thing I can do in the next 24 hours that gives me a piece of data to know if this is worth pursuing? ✔️Over-planning beyond a reasonable window is never about being thorough. There's usually something underneath it, fear of rejection, fear of failure, or fear of finding out. ✔️The market is the only one that decides if you win. Build the feedback loop with them, not around them. ✔️Stack this with the 3M model from last episode: must move, must maintain, must release. Together they're a daily execution system.

Sam, Dylan, and Dark Smith are back to break down: Dark Smith's job interview to become an escort and the loofah-color swinger code of Florida's villages, the Boyle Heights fire spilling Freon and ammonia while firefighters spray a blaze they can't reach (and the owner being a Karen Bass donor), a documentary trying to abolish the Electoral College, the deep origins of the Vatican built on top of Vatican Hill, the pagan goddess Cybele and the Anatolian mother god Magna Mater brought to Rome via the prophetic Sibylline Books after Hannibal's slaughter at Cannae, the blood-baptism bull-sacrifice rituals later dug up by archaeologists, H.P. Lovecraft's "The Rats in the Walls" and its cannibal cult, the serpent-shaped Vatican auditorium and the Pope's fish-head mitre tied to the Babylonian fish god Dagon (who turns out to be Godzilla), Sam's pitch for roller derby as the next great pro sport, the Iran war being "over" again with IAEA inspectors as the "milestone" achieved by undoing the milestone, Israel allegedly trying to assassinate the negotiators before Trump called them off, Nicki Minaj's distraction-death theory, JD Vance's Thiel-engineered glow-up, the Albanians tearing their country apart over Jared and Ivanka's island and Sam's theory it's about controlling the Strait of Otranto, the nu-metal psyop, military stock buybacks instead of R&D, Bezos prioritizing AI water over "baseline human comfort," and a woman who lost ten years of memory from straining too hard on the toilet.

This week, the AI industry continues its speedrun toward becoming the tech equivalent of a late-stage casino. Elon Musk insists reports of aid-cut-related deaths don't exist despite mountains of evidence, SpaceX stock slides far enough to knock him out of the trillionaire club, and a startup is literally suing the U.S. government because Anthropic's Fable 5 model got turned off after three whole days of availability. Once again, we revisit the First Commandment of Grumpy Old Geeks: never build your company on someone else's platform.Meanwhile, gas stations are being accused of using AI to coordinate prices, corporations are discovering that AI tokens cost actual money, and a Microsoft researcher used goats in Age of Empires II to demonstrate that maybe, just maybe, people are projecting way too much intelligence onto chatbots. The goats emerge with their reputations intact. The AI industry, less so.The workforce bloodbath rolls on as Oracle quietly sheds 21,000 employees while blaming AI, Norway bans generative AI for elementary school students after discovering that children should probably learn to read before outsourcing their homework to robots, and the FCC flirts with rules that could effectively kill anonymous burner phones in the name of fighting scams. Over at Meta, an employee surveillance program accidentally exposed sensitive data to the entire company because of course it did, while Zuckerberg continues his relentless quest to strap cameras to everyone's face and call it progress. Add in YouTube settling another social-media-harm case, Chrome finally kneecapping traditional ad blockers, and prediction markets spreading across tech like mold in a college apartment, and it's becoming increasingly clear that every bad idea eventually gets funded.In transportation news, autonomous vehicles continue demonstrating that "mostly works" is not a reassuring phrase when attached to two tons of moving metal. A Tesla on Autopilot crashes into a home and kills a grandmother, Rivian faces lawsuits over self-driving promises its hardware allegedly can't fulfill, and Waymo recalls thousands of robotaxis after they developed an unfortunate habit of driving into closed freeway construction zones. Elsewhere, Elon and Bezos are eyeing billions in broadband subsidies, Polymarket is accused of paying influencers to fake betting videos and climate data archivists are preserving public information from political interference.Media recommendations include The Mandalorian, Silo, Strange New Worlds, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and a reminder that Firefox may soon be the last refuge for people who enjoy both the internet and ad blockers. Some weeks the future feels exciting. This week it mostly feels like an extended warranty scam.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
