Le pape attaque la Silicon Valley, Sam Altman retourne sa veste sur l'apocalypse des emplois, et la fusée de Bezos explose en direct — tout ça dans la même semaine. D'un côté, une Silicon Valley qui construit depuis vingt ans les outils de contrôle total en prétendant libérer l'humanité — de l'autre, des États qui n'attendent qu'une opportunité pour s'en emparer.===========================

When you want to understand someone's success, you look at what they built. The company, the exit, the valuation. But James Beshara says you are looking at the wrong thing. You are studying the fruit when the real story is in the roots. James has built three separate companies to nine-figure valuations before 40, ranks as the top #2 angel investor on AngelList, and has made over 100 startup bets. He is also the founder of Magic Mind and after 14 years of investing and 18 years of building companies, he has learned that the founders who get funded are not the ones with the best pitch deck. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, James shares why he backs the founder and not the business, what he looks for in the first 7 minutes of meeting someone, and why a product that is merely liked will always lose to one that is loved. He also breaks down the science behind Magic Mind, why your coffee habit may be working against you, and the morning philosophy practice that shapes how he makes every decision. If you have ever wondered what investors are really evaluating when they decide to bet on you, this conversation gives you the answer, and it starts with looking at the roots. What's Discussed: (02:53) The roots versus fruits reframe and why copying success usually backfires. (10:14) The 7-minute window that tells James whether he wants to work with a founder. (16:41) Why investors back the founder, not the business, and the 40% likability edge. (25:33) Magic Mind: Why caffeine shuts off your fatigue signal instead of giving you energy. (45:30) The Bezos rule: innovators must be willing to be misunderstood. (1:07:51) What selling a company for less than he raised actually taught him. (1:17:59) Why a product that people buy when it is “ugly” is the only kind worth scaling. (1:28:55) Why running toward failure is how you avoid the failure that ends you. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Mark Pincus is the creator behind Farmville and Words with Friends. He built Zynga into one of the biggest gaming companies in the world and helped shape the early era of social products on the internet. In this conversation, he breaks down how great founders spot winning ideas early, why most startups build the wrong thing, and how products become part of people's daily lives. He shares lessons from building Zynga, missing the opportunity behind social networking before Facebook took off, navigating platform risk during Zynga's explosive growth, and rebuilding his confidence after major failures. You'll learn how to test ideas faster, what separates products people try from products people love, how to avoid “death by compromise” as a founder, and why the best builders stay obsessed with what users actually want. + Members get the longer, extended version of this conversation, with additional content not included in the public release.

Jim talked with Cory Doctorow—prolific sci-fi and nonfiction author, journalist, activist, EFF special adviser, and author of Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It—about how structural forces degraded the internet, and what citizens (not consumers) can actually do about it. They discussed: The origin of "enshittification"—Cory's January 2023 blog post, its viral spread, and its naming as Word of the Year by the American Dialect Society Two-sided markets & the persistence of intermediaries Crad Kilodney as a self-publishing illustration, and why platform middlemen survive even when they shouldn't Monopsony vs. monopoly The real statistics of Amazon's dominance of book sales The three-stage enshittification life cycle, using Facebook as the case study The brittle equilibrium of late-stage enshittification—the thin line between "I hate this but can't leave" and mass exodus The metaverse as Facebook's terminal pivot—Zuckerberg's "legless, sexless, low-polygon" avatar world stolen from a 25-year-old cyberpunk novel, and why it still served him by forestalling investor sell-offs Zuckerberg as Rich Uncle Pennybags, not Willy Wonka Amazon's early history & Bezos's "your margin is my opportunity" mantra Amazon's junk fees (now 50–60% and rising) and the $80 billion/year advertising payola business The consumer welfare doctrine—Robert Bork's antitrust theory that monopoly is efficient, and why allowing monopsonies inevitably produces monopolies Jim's personal experience with the Thomson-West legal publishing merger Tech workers as a structural check on enshittification The convergence enabling enshittification: merger to monopoly → regulatory capture → loss of worker leverage → DMCA blocking entrants → abuse The moral decay of business culture—from "we won't do profitable things we think are wrong," to "do whatever's arguably legal," to "do whatever's illegal if the fine is less than the benefit" Google's $20 billion/year payment to Apple to stay off the search market Why predatory pricing cases went unenforced What citizens (not consumers) can do The death of federal antitrust enforcement and international ripple effects State-level antitrust action as a remaining avenue The right to repair as an easy entry point Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs as a paradoxical opportunity Tech as geopolitical weapon—Microsoft accounts bricked for a Brazilian judge who sentenced Bolsonaro; the ICC chief prosecutor's accounts shut down after the Netanyahu arrest warrant The vision for open, auditable, sovereign digital public goods to replace the enshittified American Internet—run internationally, controlled locally … and much more.

If you want to change the world, how you spend your 80,000 working hours may be the most important decision you can make. Benjamin Todd, founder of 80,000 Hours, joins EconTalk's Russ Roberts to dismantle the career advice you've been fed since childhood. "Follow your passion" turns out to be a trap. Chasing a big paycheck barely moves the happiness needle. And being a doctor has a smaller impact than you might think, says Todd. Todd and Roberts wrestle with the real ingredients of a fulfilling career--engaging work, supportive colleagues, meaningful problems--while debating whether Jeff Bezos has lived a worthy life and why most people won't part with 10% of their income to save lives abroad. Along the way, you'll meet unsung heroes like David Nalin, whose solution to dehydration saves millions of children's lives.

PBD's crew reacts to Blue Origin's “nuclear‑looking” rocket explosion, breaking down the billion‑dollar damage, Bezos' response, and why public failure and learning in space travel is the ultimate test of real entrepreneurs.

Five stories, one week: the Pope released a 42,000-word document calling for AI to be disarmed. Researchers left 10 AI agents unsupervised in a virtual town and watched them commit arson and assault within days. Elon Musk launched a coding agent to compete with Anthropic and OpenAI. Waymo is creating gridlock in Atlanta. And Ferrari unveiled a $640K electric car that is slower than a Tesla.The question underneath all of it: who is actually in charge of this, and does that person have any reason to care what happens to everyone else?Key Moments00:00 — Jeremy opens with his Ferrari dream, then pivots to the Pope's 42,000-word AI document01:09 — Jason draws the parallel between religion and AI as competing systems of social control04:41 — The real concern: not a sky monster, but the followers who don't think critically05:22 — Why religion and AI converge on the same lever: influencing behavior at scale09:27 — Emergence experiment: 10 AI agents, a simulated town, arson and self-deletion within days10:16 — Jason's theory: scarcity + survival instinct = violence, whether you're a human or a model14:29 — Grok Build launches as a coding agent — and Jason's read on why it exists15:31 — Waymo creates gridlock in Atlanta neighborhoods; Jason explains the V2X problem18:37 — Ferrari Luce: $640K, co-designed with Jony Ive, slower than a Tesla on Ludicrous mode20:32 — The Slate: a $20K bare-bones electric truck backed by Bezos that Jeremy actually wants

Political advisor Ed Coper on the cold-blooded machine that is feeding angry people angry content online to make them even angrier, and what we can do about it.Ed Coper is a political advisor and communications consultant who has worked for the Australian Labor Party, and for progressive lobby groups.Over the past few years, he has noticed what everyone else has - people on both sides of the divide becoming increasingly vocal and angry about their politics online.While there's no shortage of things to get outraged about in today's world, no matter where you lie on the political spectrum, Ed argues our rage is being monetised cold-bloodedly by social media platforms.This digital, online machine has planted us in what he calls the era of 'angertainment', where an entire outrage industry is harvesting our worst impulses with algorithms that deliberately trigger the caveman switch in our brains that keeps us alert for potential threats.But there is an antidote.Ed says we need to understand this machine in order to build guardrails that preserve democracy, heal divisions and protect future generations from the "angry clowns" who currently rule the attention economy.Angertainment is published in Simon and Schuster.This episode of Conversations explores politics, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, divisive society, social cohesion, left versus right, attention spans, war, Trump, Putin, Gaza, Israel, Ukraine, elections, World War 3, the future, chronically online, rage bait, internet trolls, keyboard warriors, content farming, bots, Russia, Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Get Up, populism, political ideology, transgender issues, attention economy, MAGA, the woke left, polarised society, family violence, violence against women, misogyny, entertainment industry, Hollywood, nihilism, conservatives, progressives.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts. There you'll find hundreds of the best thought-provoking interviews with authors, writers, artists, politicians, psychologists, musicians, and celebrities.

Watch best scene reading: https://youtu.be/IhdiRMQznCY Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about?When Lizzie Franks, a gorgeous African-American paraplegic, is fired from her job at a company she helped start and her fiance dumps her, she joins The Iron Maiden, a women-only gym to find a reason to go on. But Brandon Wickie, the brilliant, ultra-wealthy owner of the gym kidnaps her. He uses a unique nannite technology he's invented to assemble his ideal mate from the body parts of women bodybuilders he kidnaps from his gym and he attaches Lizzie's head to his creation. Meanwhile, Mathew Tran, a Chicago detective, is hot on Brandon's trail as he tries to discover who has been kidnapping women bodybuilders and who killed George Johnson, the husband of one of the women and also a Chicago Detective. The movie culminates in a fight to the death between Lizzie and Brandon, both of whom have super-human strength and healing powers due to the nannites in their veins. Lizzie, in her unfamiliar body, must find a new inner strength and push herself beyond her limits to save herself and Detective Tran. What genres does your screenplay fall under?Horror/thriller Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?The simplest answer is because it will be a money-maker if it's done right. It can be made as a low-budget horror film, which are extremely popular worldwide. It can also be produced as a high budget superhero origin story with A-list actors such as Zandaya as Lizzy Franks and Michael Cera as Brandon Wickie. It could also be the first in a series of movies following Lizzie's adventures, it could be turned into one or a series of graphic novels, and it would make a great animated film or series. In addition, it has a multi-racial cast of quirky characters, its heroine is uniquely different from any other superhero or female movie lead, the world of female bodybuilding is an unusual environment, and it combines humor with mystery, intense action and a bit of grisly horror, so it will keep an audience emotionally engaged and guessing about what comes next. Finally, it explores important topics such as the danger of tech-bros with too much money (looking at you, Bezos and Musk), the dangers and benefits of AI-based technology, and female empowerment, so it's more engaging than if it were just a whiz-bang popcorn movie. —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

On today's episode, we discuss a whirlwind of legal and political stories ranging from local elections to global power shifts, all filtered through the crew's characteristic mix of law, history, and sarcasm. They open with Tina Peters' possible commutation in Colorado and then dig into how vice presidential powers, Senate customs, and the “Garner precedent” could let the sitting VP wrest real procedural control from nominal leaders like John Thune. From there, the conversation ranges across 2028 primary polling (with “undecided” leading Democrats), Ken Paxton's Texas Senate run against a progressive pastor who says God is non‑binary, Florida's post‑DeSantis governor's race, and how NGOs and dark‑money networks allegedly reshape elections, from Colombia's surprise populist win to E. Jean Carroll's Trump lawsuit. The middle of the show hits culture‑war flashpoints—Oregon's proposed hunting and fishing ban, California NGOs handing out needles and fentanyl, a Democratic candidate with a Hitler tattoo, and Trump's idea to harden mail‑in voting by using his authority over the Postal Service to police envelope handling. In the final stretch, they contrast Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin struggles with Elon Musk's “Swiss‑Army‑knife” engineering approach at SpaceX and Starlink, argue that rocket science is the ultimate practical discipline, and close by inviting listeners to email the show with news topics, critiques, and conspiracies for future episodes. Don't miss it!

Jennifer Welch returns to the Daily Beast Podcast and unloads on the “broken people” surrounding Donald Trump, from Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth to JD Vance, Jeff Bezos, and the billionaire class she says has traded conviction for obedience and spectacle. In a blistering conversation with Joanna Coles, Welch argues Trump is entering a “deathbed confession era,” openly admitting the impulses that now define his presidency as cabinet members compete to flatter him, Democrats stumble through what she calls a once-in-a-generation political layup, and MAGA figures turn loyalty into humiliation rituals. They dive into Trump's obsession with punishing perceived disloyalty, the escalating “rat-fucking” of JD Vance, the strange psychology of the ultra-rich bending the knee to Trump, the return of the Epstein fallout, and why Welch believes Democrats are still failing to meet the moment even as Trump openly declares he doesn't care about the midterms.

In this hilarious and thought-provoking episode, Travis and producer Eric break down a recent Jeff Bezos interview and unpack some surprisingly nuanced conversations around entrepreneurship, taxes, capitalism, AI, housing prices, and the value businesses create in society. Along the way, they debate billionaire philanthropy, Amazon's impact on the world, the future of AI tools, and why entrepreneurship is far more complicated than internet hot takes make it seem. On this episode we talk about: Jeff Bezos' comments on taxes, wealth creation, and entrepreneurship Why successful businesses create value beyond charitable giving The complexities behind housing prices, rent increases, and government policy Why AI may currently be in a bubble — and why that's not necessarily bad The pros and cons of AI tools, digital reading, audiobooks, and productivity tech Top 3 Takeaways Building a successful business creates massive value for society through jobs, services, innovation, and infrastructure — not just profits. Most economic and political issues are far more nuanced than simple internet narratives make them seem. AI tools can be incredibly useful for research and productivity, but not every “AI-powered” product actually improves life. Notable Quotes “Businesses by definition have to be solving a big problem or they would not be that successful.” “All of these problems are so wildly nuanced and insanely complicated to fix.” “Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems when you've got money in the bank.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded on the launchpad during a test in Cape Canaveral on Thursday. The company, owned by Jeff Bezos, said no one was injured and all personnel were accounted for. But the rocket has a crucial role in NASA's Artemis program to return American astronauts to the surface of the moon. Amna Nawaz discussed its significance with science correspondent Miles O'Brien.

Blue Origin's New rocket erupted in a massive fireball during a test firing at Cape Canaveral Thursday night — shaking nearby homes and painting the sky orange. We break down the footage. Then it's a roller coaster double feature: an influencer gets a lifetime ban from every Six Flags park after filming himself doing a “stunt” on a roller coaster going 93 mph, and students on a field trip got stuck nearly 100 feet in the air on Galveston's Iron Shark for almost four hours. Plus, Hidden Valley Ranch is hiring "Ranchbassadors" to travel Europe this summer, spreading the gospel of ranch dressing — over 6,000 people applied, with some uncozy submissions. And we close with an apocalyptic Arizona dust storm that looks straight out of a disaster movie.   Watch the stream:  https://youtube.com/live/py8TWVHe38s   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

David Rothkopf and Joanna Coles dive into the unraveling chaos surrounding Donald Trump's latest political gambles, from the shocking rise of scandal-plagued Texas firebrand Ken Paxton to mounting questions about Trump's health after yet another visit to Walter Reed. Rothkopf tears into MAGA's “doubling down” strategy as polls collapse, Trump allies turn on each other, and the White House transforms into what he calls a gaudy monument to excess with a $60 million UFC spectacle on the South Lawn. The conversation veers from Trump's physical decline and Jeff Bezos' defense of the administration to the fallout from America's escalating Iran crisis, stalled oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and fears that the country is becoming dangerously weaker on every front.

Bezos, Elon, Andreessen and the whole lot are such terrible, tiny, greedy people. They blow off the public's concerns about AI while living apart from us in their cashmere prisons; they keep talking about things they know nothing about; and they figured out how cheap it is to buy and manipulate a president. The pitchforks are coming.

The five highest global uncertainty readings since the 1980s have all occurred in the last five years. And yet the answer Wall Street keeps selling -- products that promise upside without downside -- is mathematically impossible and provably underperforms over time. Simone Stolzoff, author of How to Not Know, spent years studying how people, companies, and investors navigate uncertainty well. His findings are the opposite of what the financial industry is selling you right now.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy our tolerance for uncertainty is declining -- and the specific role smartphones and real-time data have played in making investors more anxious and worse at decision-makingThe anchor framework: how certainty in some areas of your life makes it dramatically easier to hold uncertainty in others -- and what that means for how you build a financial planThe Slack origin story -- how a gaming company at the peak of its success chose to shut down and pivot into the unknown, and what that teaches about staying open to what might emergeWhy Warren Buffett and the best venture capitalists actively seek uncertainty -- and how confusion between uncertainty and danger costs most investors real moneyThe kill criteria concept borrowed from mountain climbing -- and how pre-committing to rules before the emotion hits is the only reliable way to prevent catastrophic decisionsOne-way doors versus two-way doors: the Jeff Bezos framework for knowing when to agonize over a decision and when to just actWhy buffer ETFs are mathematically required to underperform broad index funds over time -- and the one question that exposes every "downside protection" pitch instantlyOG's case for looking at your portfolio as rarely as possible -- and the surprising thing that happened when he checked his mortgage balance after months awayWhy building a financial plan around your actual goals makes the daily market headlines genuinely irrelevant -- not as a coping strategy, but as a logical outcomeKathy's story: what a special education teacher who maxed her Roth IRA every year from 1998 to 2024 has in her account todayWhy This Matters NowMarkets will always be uncertain. Headlines will always be alarming. The question isn't how to make that stop -- it's how to build a life and a plan sturdy enough that it doesn't matter. This episode is the clearest case we've made for why your financial plan is more important than your portfolio, and why the two are not the same thing.From the BasementSimone Stolzoff joins Joe and OG to unpack the psychology of uncertainty -- including a couple who took a year apart to figure out if they wanted to stay married, a software engineer who programmed an app to make all his life decisions, and the monk who said not knowing is the most intimate thing of all. The Investment News headline about clients wanting "headline-proof portfolios" gives OG a full platform to explain why buffer ETFs are a product designed for the advisor's book of business, not your retirement. Doug arrives with Wild Bill Hickok trivia. Kathy from the community sends a note that should be required reading for every Gen X stacker who thinks they're behind.Resources MentionedHow to Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty in a World That Demands Answers by Simone Stolzoff -- available wherever books are sold; early readers receive an invitation to an exclusive event with Michael LewisSimone Stolzoff -- simonestolzoff.comInvestment News -- "Advisors say more clients are seeking to headline-proof their portfolios" by Greg Greenberg; linked at stackingbenjamins.comStacking Benjamins Episode 1840 -- "Why 67% of Americans Fear Running Out of Money More Than Dying"; stackingbenjamins.comStacking Benjamins Vault -- stackingbenjamins.com/vaultStacking Benjamins Newsletter (The 201) -- stackingbenjamins.com/201Stacking Benjamins Community -- stackingbenjamins.com/basementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

- The Texas runoff is framed as another purge of the old GOP guard, with John Cornyn cast as the next Trump-era casualty and Ken Paxton positioned as the movement's chosen enforcer. - Maine's Senate race is portrayed as the real political freak show, with Graham Plattner depicted not as flawed but as openly unfit, radical, and impossible for national Democrats to defend much longer. - Jeff Bezos and the billionaire class become the latest punching bag, with the episode mocking the idea that anti-capitalist rage is a serious answer to fraud, waste, or working-class decline. - Memorial Day gets recast as another cultural split-screen, with Democrats accused of honoring George Floyd while ignoring both fallen service members and the daily bloodshed destroying black communities in cities like Chicago. - The broader theme is blunt: media, activists, and party elites keep mistaking performance for power, while voters are increasingly drawn to people who fight harder, speak plainer, and stop pretending the dysfunction is normal.

REMINDER! Join us TONIGHT at 6pm CT for happy hour live with Cory Haala, author of “When Democrats Won the Heartland.”Other than the fact that they are such blood-sucking greedheads, why have today's multibillionaires, high-tech barons of AI become so despised by so many grassroots Americans?By “so many,” I mean they've sparked a hell-raising mass revolt, originating in farm country, spreading through working-class suburbs, into community colleges, and other centers of Middle America – now including environmental, religious, and democracy movements.This is a genuine populist rebellion of workaday families against the corporate oligarchy of Musk, Zuckerberg, Altman, Bezos, and other “geniuses” of artificial intelligence. The billionaires are racing to install millions of supersmart A.I. robots in nearly every workplace, from manufacturing to health care, farming to finance.Amazingly, the tech elites consider themselves to be “humanitarians,” for they say turning work over to A.I. would free humans to… well, do what? Geniuses can't bothered with such mundane details, so they're not interested of soon-to-be displaced masses of people who'll be “made redundant.”So – hello – people are revolting (in the very best sense of that term). Interestingly, some of the strongest backlash is coming from a huge group generally assumed to be politically apathetic or enthusiastic about all technology: Young people. Columnist Michelle Goldberg reports that several tech honchos who've given college commencement speeches this month were startled when they launched into gushing praise for the glorious future promised by A.I. They were practically driven off-stage by roaring cascades of boos from the students!The pain that A.I. profiteers are imposing is one thing, but an even greater cause of this spreading revolt is the imperious arrogance and stupidity of royal elites who think ordinary people don't matter. Did these oligarchs never hear about the revolution of 1776?Do something!To stay on top of the rapid development of AI and its impact on the public interest, check out the work of the AI Now Institute, ainowinstitute.org.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Steve Schmidt returns to the Daily Beast Podcast with a blistering warning about Donald Trump's unraveling grip on power, the Republican Party's “Shakespearean” collapse into cowardice, and why he believes MAGA is heading toward a political wipeout. In a conversation that ricochets from the Epstein files to the future of American democracy, Schmidt tears into GOP leaders he says have “lashed themselves to the mast,” predicts a brutal reckoning in 2028, and unleashes a stunning critique of John Fetterman, calling the Pennsylvania senator unfit for office after his stroke and accusing Fox News of psychologically manipulating him in public. Schmidt also paints a deeply alarming picture of America's standing abroad, arguing the U.S. is already losing a hidden war with Iran while Trump drifts toward another dangerous foreign adventure in Cuba, all as gas prices soar and public frustration boils over. Schmidt then turns his fire on Jeff Bezos and the billionaire class he says chose submission over resistance, framing this political era not just as a fight over power, but as a historic test of national character that future generations will study with disbelief.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack a week of chaos inside Trumpworld, beginning with Wolff's explosive courtroom setback in his legal fight with Melania Trump and delving into what they describe as a justice system warped by Trump's influence. From a mysterious $1.8 billion “slush fund” settlement and the ongoing culture of intimidation around the media, to Don Jr.'s lavish Bahamas wedding conspicuously missing one major guest—his own father—the episode peels back the dysfunction, rivalries, and raw narcissism driving the Trump family. Wolff and Coles also dissect Tulsi Gabbard's abrupt exit, Pete Hegseth's latest foreign policy blunder, Jeff Bezos publicly praising Trump while cashing in on the new political order, and the surreal possibility that former Brexit architect Steve Hilton could become governor of California.
