In this episode of In Depth, Brett sits down with Paul Copplestone, co-founder and CEO of Supabase, the open-source Postgres platform now serving more than seven million developers. Before Supabase, Paul launched a Thumbtack-style marketplace in Southeast Asia and co-founded an office-management startup called Nimbus, experiences that taught him to separate fundraising from building and to find product-market fit before blitzscaling. He breaks down how a single tagline change for Supabase unlocked product-market fit, why he runs a fully distributed async team with near-zero attrition, and how he turned PLG signals into a product-led sales motion comped only on incremental uplift. In today's episode, we discuss: How changing one tagline helped Supabase go to #1 in Hacker News - an early sign of product market fit Why Paul ran Supabase like it had only $100K in the bank despite raising real money How Supabase rode three distinct AI waves, from pgvector to Bolt and Lovable, to Claude Code Why Supabase built a sales team comped only on the incremental uplift over a control group What the Toyota production system's "kaizen" taught Paul about unblocking a scaling team References: Ant Wilson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ant-wilson-46179937 Bolt: https://bolt.new/ Claude Code: https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code Codex: https://openai.com/codex/ Entrepreneurs First: https://www.joinef.com/ Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/ Lovable: https://lovable.dev/ MongoDB: https://www.mongodb.com/ Next.js: https://nextjs.org/ PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/ Supabase: https://supabase.com/ Thumbtack: https://www.thumbtack.com/ Y Combinator: https://www.ycombinator.com/ Where to find Paul: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulcopplestone Twitter/X: https://x.com/kiwicopple Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:32 Why Paul's earlier startups were never destined to be huge 07:14 Unlearning the "tall poppy" mindset and going all-in on async 09:54 Reverse-engineering why Supabase was an outstanding idea 12:04 The accidental Hacker News launch and tagline lesson 13:58 Where the early roadmap came from: demand vs. technical taste 17:28 Skill vs. luck, and operating like you have $100K in the bank 21:42 What actually makes a great developer experience 23:10 Solving the "graduation problem" Firebase never could 24:58 The role of open source in Supabase's success 26:10 The three distinct AI tailwinds: From pgvector to Claude Code 35:24 Supabase's egoless, hyper-competitive open-source culture 42:58 A tactical playbook for raising capital 48:37 Product-led sales comped on incremental uplift only 59:27 The production philosophy behind Supabase's operations

Vibe Coding : coder sans savoir coder, mythe ou révolution pour les professionnels ?"Et si je n'avais pas besoin de savoir coder pour développer une application ?"C'est exactement la promesse du vibe coding, et elle est en train de changer la donne pour les marketeurs, les formateurs et les entrepreneurs.Qu'est-ce que le vibe coding ? Définition et originesDans ce 163 ème épisode, je décortique le vibe coding. Il a été popularisé début 2025 par Andrej Karpathy, co-fondateur d'OpenAI et ancien directeur de l'intelligence artificielle chez Tesla. Star incontestée de la Silicon Valley, quand Karpathy lance un concept, le secteur tech l'écoute.Son idée est simple mais radicale : laisser l'IA générer du code en se basant uniquement sur des instructions en langage naturel, sans nécessairement lire ni comprendre le code produit.En pratique, cela signifie que vous décrivez ce que vous voulez :une fonctionnalité, une interface, un outil, et l'IA génère le code correspondant. L'intention remplace la syntaxe.Exemple concret : au lieu d'apprendre JavaScript, vous écrivez dans votre outil : "Crée un minuteur de 10 minutes avec un fond violet qui émet un son quand il arrive à zéro." En quelques secondes, vous avez votre application. Pas besoin d'un développeur pour ça.Vibe coding vs no-code vs développement assisté : quelles différences ?Avant d'aller plus loin, clarifions les notions souvent confondues.Le no-code traditionnelDes outils comme Notion, Webflow ou Airtable proposent des interfaces graphiques avec des blocs prédéfinis. On assemble, on configure, mais on ne génère pas vraiment de code. C'est puissant, mais limité aux fonctionnalités prévues par l'outil.Le développement assisté par IAUn développeur qui utilise GitHub Copilot ou Cursor reste maître de son code : il lit les lignes, les valide, les corrige. L'IA est un copilote, pas un pilote automatique.Le vibe codingIci, le vibe coder peut délibérément choisir de ne pas comprendre le code généré. C'est à la fois libérateur, on obtient un résultat concret sans barrière technique , et potentiellement risqué, nous y reviendrons. Ce qui est généré est du vrai code : HTML, JavaScript, Python. Pas des blocs visuels, du vrai code fonctionnel.Les outils de vibe coding à connaître en 2025Le vibe coding est aujourd'hui accessible sur une grande variété de plateformes :Bolt : idéal pour débuter, version gratuite disponible, excellent pour des tests avec des apprenantsLovable : reconnu pour la qualité des interfaces généréesClaude (Cowork) : performant pour des projets plus structurésCodex sur ChatGPT : une option solide dans l'écosystème OpenAICanva : surprenant mais très accessible, avec des suggestions natives qui rendent l'expérience très naturelleCursor : plutôt destiné aux profils plus techniquesLors d'une session de formation, j'ai testé Bolt avec des apprenants : en moins de deux minutes, on avait co-généré une application de prise de rendez-vous complète : calendrier, visuels, interface, à partir d'un prompt relativement simple. Le résultat était bluffant.3 cas d'usage concrets pour les professionnels1. Prototyper un outil sans budget de développementC'est le cas de figure le plus fréquent pour les TPE, PME ou les porteurs de projets en grandes entreprises. Vous avez une idée : un calculateur de ROI, un auto-diagnostic, un formulaire interactif simplifié, mais pas le budget pour un développeur.Avec le vibe coding, vous pouvez prototyper en une heure. Pas pour mettre en production immédiatement, mais pour tester, valider l'idée, et montrer à un client ou à votre direction ce que ça pourrait donner. Quand on projette les parties prenantes dans la solution, la validation devient beaucoup plus fluide.2. Créer des supports de formation ou de conférence interactifsEn tant que formatrice ou facilitatrice, vous souhaitez animer une session avec des outils dynamiques : quiz interactif, persona simulé, jeu de rôle numérique. Tout cela est accessible via le vibe coding, sans aucune compétence technique préalable.Cela permet aux indépendants et aux formateurs de développer des outils hyper-interactifs avec très peu de moyens.3. Objectiver les décisions produit en équipeJ'ai entendu le témoignage de professionnels du marketing qui utilisent le vibe coding pour trancher des débats subjectifs sur le design d'une application. Plutôt que de débattre de "j'aime le bleu, pas le rouge", on brief l'IA qui analyse les meilleures pratiques ergonomiques du secteur et produit des préconisations argumentées. Le débat se déplace du goût vers les fonctionnalités et c'est là que devrait être l'énergie d'une équipe produit.Les limites du vibe coding : ce qu'il ne faut pas ignorerLe vibe coding est excellent pour démarrer vite. Mais il a des limites réelles qu'il faut connaître.La dette cognitiveÀ mesure qu'on empile des itérations avec l'IA, le code grossit sans être maîtrisé. L'IA elle-même peut avoir du mal à modifier la structure sans tout casser. Et si vous ne comprenez pas l'architecture de ce que vous avez construit, vous ne pouvez plus intervenir manuellement.J'ai eu ce cas avec une cliente qui avait créé son site en vibe coding, mais sans aucune connaissance technique du back-office. Elle ne savait plus comment gérer ou modifier son site en dehors de l'outil. À chaque tentative de modification, on risquait de casser d'autres parties du code. Très chronophage, très stressant.Ce n'est pas une solution de production "clé en main"Pour tout projet qui passera entre les mains d'utilisateurs réels, l'intervention d'un développeur reste nécessaire en fin de parcours. Le vibe coding est parfait pour la phase d'exploration, pas pour la mise en production finale.Ma recommandationUtilisez le vibe coding pour ce qu'il fait de mieux : rapidité, flexibilité, expérimentation. Sauvegardez du temps sur la maquette, l'ergonomie, les fonctionnalités à tester. Mais dès que le projet passe en production avec de vrais utilisateurs, impliquez un développeur.Et les développeurs dans tout ça ?Une question revient souvent : si tout le monde peut coder sans coder, les développeurs sont-ils menacés ?Ma conviction : non, on déplace la valeur.Les développeurs qui savent travailler avec l'IA et qui comprennent l'architecture du code deviennent encore plus précieux. Ce qui va disparaître, c'est la demande pour des tâches de développement très routinières. La vraie valeur d'un développeur a toujours été dans la capacité à auditer, tester, comprendre une architecture, pas à taper des lignes de code.Et pour aller plus loin sur ce sujet, je prépare un épisode dédié à la question de la co-création en équipe via le vibe coding.Ressources mentionnées dans cet épisodeBolt — bolt.newLovable — lovable.devCursor — cursor.shClaude Cowork — via claude.aiAndrej Karpathy sur le vibe coding — à chercher sur X/Twitter (@karpathy)

In today's world, your smartphone can be your most powerful travel tool — if you have the right apps loaded up. Travel advisors Ryan and Julie of Wander and Beyond Travel break down their go-to apps for every stage of your trip, from the planning phase all the way to clearing customs on your way home.Destination-Specific Apps Start with the app for wherever you're going. Disney's My Disney Experience app is a must-download the moment you book — use it to explore menus, check wait times, and link your reservation. Cruise lines (Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, Princess, and others) each have their own apps, and all-inclusive resorts often have one too. Download them before you leave home and take time to explore them ahead of your trip.Airline Apps Download your airline's app, set up notifications, and always screenshot your boarding pass so you have it offline. And yes — printing a paper boarding pass is still a smart backup move.FlightAware Julie tracks every client's flights through FlightAware, which sends real-time alerts for delays, gate changes, and cancellations. She recommends clients download it too for peace of mind.Rideshare & Transit Apps In the US, grab both Uber and Lyft. Traveling internationally? Look into region-specific apps like FreeNow or Bolt, and don't forget local transit apps for subway or bus systems.WhatsApp Outside the US, WhatsApp is how the world communicates. Tour operators, resort concierges, and transfer companies often use it exclusively. Set it up before you go.Cruise Legend A newer favorite for cruisers who like to explore independently. See which ships are in port on your sailing day and find out what's within walking distance of the dock.Mobile Passport Control For US citizens re-entering the country, this app lets you submit passport and customs info digitally, helping your group move through the line faster.Pro Tip from Ryan: Move all your travel apps to your phone's front screen before a trip so everything is easy to find on the go.Where in the World? Julie's neighbors are currently on a nine-night Disney Dream cruise through Greece, Croatia, and Malta — their kids' first trip to Europe!Next week: specialty river cruises.Wander and Beyond Travel → wonderandbeyondtravel.comSupport the showLove the podcast?

Mark Pincus founded Zynga—the company behind Words With Friends, FarmVille, and Zynga Poker—and has arguably created more hit consumer products than anyone in history. At Zynga, eight of 10 major game launches became massive hits, reaching over a billion players. Over the past five years, Mark has been synthesizing everything he's learned about building successful consumer products and turning it into a book, Life at the Speed of Play, which comes out on June 23. This is the first interview he's done about the book.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. His “Proven, Better, New” framework: copy what's proven, make it better so that 10 out of 10 people say “f*ck yes, I'll use this”—then add something new2. Why being less ambitious is the path to the most ambitious ideas3. His rule of thumb that your instincts are right 95% of the time, but your ideas are wrong 75% of the time4. “Kill hope before hope kills you”5.

Chargers OTA Week 2 Buzz: Akheem Mesidor, Tyler Biadasz, Joe Alt & Rashawn Slater Shining!

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a CEO publicly blames HR for “creating problems that didn't exist” and then fires the entire department? In this episode of Jaded HR, Warren and CeeCee dive headfirst into the viral Bolt controversy, startup culture chaos, and why HR somehow always becomes the corporate punching bag when leadership decisions go sideways. The conversation starts with a jaw-dropping workplace harassment case involving a bisexual Army police officer, a hostile work environment claim, and an investigation run by…the alleged harasser. Because apparently “conflict of interest” was just a suggestion. Warren and CeeCee break down how retaliation, poor investigations, and management incompetence can quickly turn into a Title VII nightmare. Then things get delightfully messy as the hosts unpack the comments from Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow after the fintech company eliminated its HR team during another round of layoffs. The company's valuation reportedly cratered from $11 billion to $300 million in just two years, but sure — HR was definitely the problem. Warren and CeeCee discuss startup culture, “people operations,” leadership scapegoating, and the growing public perception that HR only creates red tape. But this episode isn't just about roasting bad executives.Warren shares practical insight into how smaller HR departments can actually prove business value through retention initiatives, pulse surveys, onboarding check-ins, and solving the quiet operational problems employees deal with every day. From safety equipment delays to onboarding experiences and employee retention metrics, the hosts talk about the invisible work HR does behind the scenes that rarely gets recognized until something breaks. And because this is Jaded HR, the conversation also somehow detours into: HOA pool drama and chair-saving wars  Passenger princess relationships  Grocery store tourism  Why HR always gets stuck planning office parties  Whether Coldplay should headline SHRM instead of Christina Aguilera So basically: workplace retaliation, startup dysfunction, talent retention strategy, and poolside chaos… all in one episode.In This Episode: The viral CEO who fired HR and blamed them for company problems  Why harassment investigations fail spectacularly  Retaliation and hostile work environment lawsuits  HR's role in employee retention and engagement  Pulse surveys, onboarding check-ins, and retention KPIs  Startup culture vs. corporate HR structure  Why employees think HR only plans parties  HOA pool politics and cruise chair savers KeywordsHR podcast, human resources podcast, workplace harassment, hostile work environment, retaliation claims, HR layoffs, Bolt HR team, Ryan Breslow, startup culture, people operations, employee retention, HR compliance, onboarding experience, HR investigations, pulse surveys, HR news, SHRM, cynical HR podcast, funny HR podcast, workplace cultureHashtags#HumanResources #HRPodcast #WorkplaceCulture #Leadership #StartupCulture #EmployeeRetention #HRCommunity #PeopleOps #CorporateCulture #Management #HRHumor #JadedHR #SHRM #HRNews #WorkplaceDrama Support the showWant to:* Share a dumb employee question* Share a crazy story* Ask us a question* Share a  best practice * Give us feedbackOur Link Tree below has links to our social media sites,  Patreon, Apple podcasts, Spotify & more.Please leave a review on your favorite podcast player and interact with us online!Linktree - https://linktr.ee/jadedhrFollow Cee Cee on IG - BoozyHR @ https://www.instagram.com/boozy_hr/

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREIn this episode of Maximum Lawyer Live, Tyson Mutrux riffs on a short clip from Marc Andreessen to show you exactly what the near future of legal work looks like: you managing 20+ AI agents instead of a bloated human team.Tyson shares how he and Kashef became “AI vampires” while building Foxy, their new case management system, taking shifts in Bolt, wiring up back-end tools like Supabase and GitHub, and literally waking up in the middle of the night to see what the agents had shipped.Tyson also uses a wild example from the Los Angeles mayoral race to show how a lesser-known candidate is using AI to close the gap on an incumbent with more money and name recognition, and why the same thing is about to happen in your market if you don't level up.If you want a real-time window into the future of law firm operations, months, not years, away and what it means for your hiring, compensation, and leadership, this episode will give you the play-by-play.AI isn't just making knowledge workers more efficient; it's creating “AI vampires” who are so productive with agents that they don't want to stop working and law firms are next. The job of the law firm owner is shifting from managing people who do tasks to managing fleets of agents that run entire workflows.In this episode, you'll learn:The “AI vampire” phenomenon in Silicon Valley and why lawyers should careHow building Foxy turned Tyson and Kashef into round‑the‑clock AI tinkerersWhy AI has unlocked a backlog of “someday” projects that used to require an armyHow AI is already leveling up political campaigns, and why that matters for your marketingThe coming split between AI‑fluent team members and everyone elseWhy top performers who master AI will see their compensation go up while total headcount goes downThe next 12–24 months of legal work: people managing agents, and then agents managing agentsHighlights0:00 – Tyson tosses the original topic and pivots to Marc Andreessen's “AI vampire” clip1:30 – How Emma, Jackson, and Hudson's school transitions mirror the transitions coming to your firm2:40 – Andreessen on coders becoming four to twenty times more productive with AI4:30 – Tyson's Foxy build: taking shifts in Bolt, wiring up Supabase and GitHub, and waking up at night to check the agents6:00 – The physical toll: exhaustion, bags under the eyes, and why Tyson finally pulled back8:30 – The Wall Street friend who used AI to generate 500,000 lines of code and fully automate his home10:00 – Why AI is for idea people: shipping long‑stalled projects with a few prompts12:45 – The elasticity of demand: when code (or legal work) becomes cheap, demand explodes15:00 – What this means for law firms: massive improvements in marketing, intake, litigation, and operations17:40 – The LA mayoral race example and how AI helps underdogs punch above their weight19:00 – The salary shakeup: AI‑effective team members vs. everyone else20:20 – The true “window into the future”: managing 20 agents for discovery, service, med records, and more21:00 – Tough calls: do you eliminate roles or shift people into high‑touch client service?22:00 – Final takeaway: your future job is managing agents and investing in the humans who can do the same

Welcome to HBR News where we give the badger treatment to the news of the week! This week we will be talking about the subpoena of Hasan Piker, a CEO removes his HR department and learns something fascinating, and more!

Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow explains why he fired his entire HR department, saying they were “creating problems that didn't exist,” and Patrick Bet-David breaks down when HR becomes a growth engine versus a bureaucratic bottleneck that kills speed, culture, and accountability

Today's the Day! We preview Nebraska vs South Dakota State and determine if Bolt makes a wise decision to start his ace now rather than later against tougher opponents.

May 26, 2026: Today, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang went on Singapore's CNA and called the AI layoff narrative "lazy and irresponsible" — I'll break down the data and history behind why he's largely right. Then, the CEO of Bolt fired his entire HR team onstage at Fortune's Workplace Innovation Summit — I'll trace the full arc of the HR function and make the case for what the Chief Future of Work Officer needs to become. And U.S. MBA programs including Carnegie Mellon Tepper, Indiana Kelley, Georgetown McDonough, UCLA Anderson, and Emory Goizueta are losing ground fast — I'll walk through the cost trend, the job market deterioration, the AI mechanism dismantling the consulting pipeline, and the argument I've been making for years that companies like Amazon, Walmart, and Starbucks are becoming the new universities.

ESG StuffBP removes chairman Albert Manifold over governance issues 9The board said the decision was unanimous. In a statement, Amanda Blanc, BP's senior independent director, described the board as having been caught off guard by what it found: "The board has been surprised and disappointed to learn of governance oversight and conduct issues it deems unacceptable and has taken decisive action."The company did not elaborate on the specific nature of the concerns.Ian Tyler has been named interim chair, BP said, with the board set to begin a formal process to identify a permanent successor: "The Board and leadership team have deep conviction in the strategic direction we have laid out, and the company is moving at pace to deliver it."Manifold took up the chairmanship just last October. At last month's annual general meeting, just 81.8% of shareholders backed his electionAmong the most consequential decisions of Manifold's short tenure: pushing out former CEO Murray Auchincloss and overseeing the selection of Meg O'Neill to succeed him — a hire that marked the first time BP had recruited an external CEO and the first time a woman had led one of the oil industry's largest players.Tulsi Gabbard Exit Marks Fourth Woman to Leave Trump Cabinet 0Apology TourBank boss sorry after describing workers as 'lower value human capital' 7Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters triggered a massive PR firestorm by describing the bank's plan to replace back-office staff with automation as replacing "lower-value human capital" with financial investmentStandard Chartered is cutting roughly 7,800 jobs—representing about 15% of its global back-office corporate support roles—over the next four years to make room for AIAfter internal anger and blistering public criticism, Winters posted a formal apology for his "choice of words." However, he initially fueled the fire by attaching the full interview transcript to justify his broader context, drawing further criticism for being defensiveIn his first attempt to quiet the storm, Winters leaned heavily into the corporate strategy rather than apologizing for the specific phrasing: "I said that lower-value roles are more vulnerable to automation, and that we have a responsibility to help colleagues move into higher-value roles. That is what a responsible employer should do. We will continue to speak honestly about the impact of technological change, and we will continue to act responsibly in helping our people to adapt and succeed."After a barrage of negative comments on his first post, Winters returned to LinkedIn later that day to offer an explicit apology for his phrasing: "I have received a lot of support for the messages in my previous post but still get questions about my choice of words, which I know has caused upset to some colleagues. For that I am sorry.""I think the transcript makes it clear that I value our colleagues – all of them – most highly and that we are totally committed to helping them to cope with the accelerating pace of change in our industry."JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon says bank chief's viral AI comment was 'inartful' Dimon downplayed the viral backlash against Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters—who drew fire for saying his bank would replace "lower-value human capital" with technology—calling it an "inartful" slip-of-the-tongue from a friend.Neopbabies and Dropout babiesJames Murdoch to acquire New York Magazine and Vox Media Podcast Network -1Bolt CEO says he let go of his entire HR team for creating problems that didn't exist: ‘Those problems disappeared when I let them go' 6Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow justified firing his entire Human Resources department by claiming they actively manufactured internal frictionThe aggressive purge follows a brutal 97% collapse in Bolt's valuation—crashing from an $11 billion peak in 2022 down to $300 millionTraditional HR has been entirely swapped for a skeletal "people operations" team, shifting the focus away from employee complaints and internal processes toward basic compliance training and empowering managers to make split-second decisionsAlongside gutting HR, Breslow rolled back employee-friendly benefits like four-day workweeks and unlimited PTO, claiming a culture of complacency had taken over and that 99% of his legacy workforce was simply unwilling to work hardRyan dropped out of Stanford in 2014 to launch BoltThe Middle School Boy Man Babies Rule the WorldMan Drives Cybertruck Into Lake to Test Elon Musk's “Boat” Claims, and It Went About as Well as You'd Guess -10"The passengers abandoned the vehicle and the driver was arrested."Tesla CEO Elon Musk:randomly tweeted that the vehicle would function as a rudimentary flotation device.“It will even float for a while.”“[The vehicle would be able to] traverse at least 100m [330 feet] of water as a boat.”“Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes and even seas that aren't too choppy.”Jeff Bezos urges US government to stop taxing 50% of America — and claims doubling his taxes won't help ‘that teacher in Queens' 400Jeff Bezos backs Mamdani's tax on luxury second homes, but says Ken Griffin isn't the villainJeff Bezos on Zohran Mamdani's big mistake: ‘When you don't know how to solve a problem, create a villain, blame them'Jeff Bezos says there is ‘no truth' to the ‘buy borrow die' tax strategyBillionaires Openly Use It: Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has historically pledged over $30 billion worth of his Oracle stock as collateral for personal bank loans. Elon Musk has similarly pledged tens of billions of dollars in Tesla shares to secure lines of credit over the yearsHe said he was "skeptical that that's a true loophole," but added, "If it is, and we can fix it, then we should. I don't think such a loophole should exist."Jeff Bezos Praises Trump's Second Term as ‘More Mature' Jeff Bezos Says AI Will 'Elevate' Workers — Despite Amazon's 30,000 Job Cuts Amid $100 Billion AI PushElon Musk compares his company's work to that of Jesus 0In an interview on Monday, the billionaire said his Neuralink brain-implant company is progressing in its development of ‘Jesus-like technologies'Although brain-computer interface (BCI) as a concept has been around since at least the 1970s, the push to commercialize the technology is more recent. According to data from market-intelligence firm Tracxn, more than 130 BCI startups have been launched since 2016.Why Is Mark Zuckerberg Taunting His Employees Before Firing Them? 20Back in April, Meta announced it was laying off 10 percent of its workforce, or around some 7,800 workers. Unlike traditional layoffs, which are enacted relatively quickly, Meta gave its employees a nearly month-long warning period without announcing who exactly would be headed for the unemployment line.In newly leaked audio from an all-hands meeting at Meta, released by More Perfect Union, the Meta CEO seems to actually be taunting the thousands of workers who were about to be let go by pointing to how the company was harvesting employee data to train its in-house AI models ahead of the massive layoffs.“So we're in a phase where basically the AI models learn from heaving real, from watching really smart people do things. And if you're trying to get it to be able to be able to do certain capabilities, having [AI] be able to observe really smart people doing those things is, is very important.”Going on, Zuckerberg explained that it was better to train AI on soon-to-be-former Meta employees, rather than “contract companies.”“In general, the average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks if you're working through… contractors,” Zuckerberg stammered. “So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally, um, build tools that, or, or solve tasks that, um, that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our models coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do.”Intuit to Cut 17% of Staff, Invest in ‘Big Bets' 3The restructuring cost is estimated at about $300 million to $340 millionAbout 3,100 employees: and invest the savings in “big bets” as it makes artificial intelligence a centerpiece of its business.Woke WarsTexas AG Sues ISS Over ESG Considerations 0Texas AG Ken Paxton (in a senate race) is suing ISS for allegedly “misleading” customers by pushing “radical political agendas” through its proxy adviceNotably, ISS has attempted to obstruct ExxonMobil's planned reincorporation from New Jersey to Texas“ISS has enormous influence over how billions of dollars are invested and managed across this country, and they have abused that influence in order to push woke ideology”Iowa AG Brenna Bird sues ISS, says advice risks retirement savingsIowa Attorney General Brenna Bird is suing the world's largest proxy-advice firm for abusing its influence and threatening Iowans' retirement savings by "lying" to investors.Stakeholders Rule!Wells Fargo must pay $100M to help homebuyers after discrimination lawsuit — 51 cities are eligible 7The settlement, which was recently approved by a federal judge in California, comes after four years of legal disputes involving Wells Fargo shareholders, former employees and job applicants who accused the bank of systemic problems in both lending and hiring practices.While Wells Fargo denied wrongdoing, the company agreed to the deal to avoid prolonged litigation and mounting legal costs.The case centered on allegations that Wells Fargo's board failed to maintain adequate oversight of the bank's mortgage lending operations, exposing the company to regulatory scrutiny and accusations of discriminatory practices.According to reporting from Realtor.com, plaintiffs accused the bank of “widespread and systematic discrimination in lending” and cited concerns over lending algorithms and refinancing approval patterns.The lawsuit stated that Wells Fargo was allegedly the only major lender in 2020 to reject more refinancing applications from Black homeowners than it approved.Airbus, Air France Hit With Manslaughter Charges Over Pilot Training Failures in Deadly 2009 Flight 447 Crash 1A Paris appeals court delivered a dramatic verdict in one of the longest-running and most complex legal sagas in aviation history. The court overturned a 2023 acquittal and found both Airbus and Air France guilty of corporate manslaughter for the tragic 2009 crash of Flight AF447.The ruling marks a massive victory for the victims' families after a 17-year legal battle. A lower court had previously cleared the European planemaker and the French airline in 2023, ruling that while errors were made, a direct causal link to the crash couldn't be proven. The appeals court completely rejected that logic, declaring the companies "solely and entirely responsible" for the disaster.Ride-Share Drivers in Massachusetts Formally Unionize 100The App Drivers Union said it was the first organization in the country to be formally certified to represent drivers for apps such as Uber and Lyft.In a news release, the organization, the App Drivers Union, said it would represent nearly 70,000 workers in Massachusetts who now have the power to collectively bargain.MATTA very special “who do we blame for SpaceX IPO governance” gameFirst, some S-1 highlights:“Starlink internet is what's being used to pay for humanity getting to Mars.” - MuskTranslation: We don't care much about Starlink, it's just paying our AI billsHe's not kidding: $3.2bn revenue for Starlink, net income of $1.2m$0.6bn revenue for rocket ship, net income of -$0.6bn$0.8bn revenue for AI, net income of -$2.5bnThis isn't a space company - it's classic Musk - you buy the vision (“To build the systems and technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary, to understand the true nature of the universe, and to extend the light of consciousness to the stars.”), but what you're really buying is an internet company that spends all its money on AI and does some rockets on the sideLet someone else invent the car (Tesla) and make them sexy with “big visions” for “humanity”Let someone else invent the rockets, build new ones using someone else's moneyLet someone else invent the satellites, put a whole bunch in space (and buy more satellites from someone else)Musk initially took the role of “Chief Engineer”, but every engineering task seems to have been the other employees - he supplied the moneyShoehorned AI into space exploration because…?Grok is designed as a truth-seeking AI model, built on our founder Elon Musk's mission to enable humanity to understand the universe.

As a result, last month the Customs and Border Protection agency opened an online portal for importers and customs brokers seeking refunds for the estimated $166 billion in tariffs companies had paid to import goods.    Some businesses have started receiving their refunds while others, including Portland-based Steven Smith Teamaker, are still waiting. As the Portland Business Journal reported last month, 90% of its ingredients are imported, making the company subject to volatile tariff rates that rocketed as high as 50% at one point last year. CEO Darren Marshall says that the company spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in unanticipated tariffs, which its customs broker has filed on its behalf to recoup. Revant Optics, a Portland manufacturer of replacement lenses for sunglasses that launched its own line of sunglasses last June, is owed nearly $700,000 in duties it paid on imports from China and Taiwan, according to CEO and founder Jason Bolt.    Marshall and Bolt join us for more details, along with Chris McKinney, president of Brownstone International. The Portland-based customs broker has filed claims for tariff refunds on behalf of Steven Smith Teamaker and dozens of other clients.

Polo GTI, the first-ever electric vehicle to carry the iconic GTI badge — a near-50-year-first — sitting above the standard ID. Polo with a 223hp front-mounted motor, 0–62mph in 6.8 seconds, and a 263-mile WLTP range from its 52 kWh battery. It goes on sale in Germany from autumn 2026, priced from €39,000, competing with the Alpine A290 and Peugeot E-208 GTi, but will not be sold in North America.BMW AND SOLARWATT PUSH V2H PLANSBMW and SOLARWATT are expanding their partnership to bring Vehicle-to-Home bidirectional charging to BMW's Neue Klasse line-up, starting with the iX3 and i3, following Germany's first commercial Vehicle-to-Grid launch in March 2026. The integrated system will use SOLARWATT's energy management platform, the BMW Wallbox Professional, and both brands' apps to coordinate solar, home storage, dynamic tariffs, and EV charging — launching first across Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands.GM CUTS BOLT COSTS WITH BATCH BUILDSGM is achieving its sub-$30,000 target for the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV in part by assembling cars in batches of 30 identical units at its Fairfax plant in Kansas City, rather than building mixed trims in sequence, reducing errors and line stoppages. The approach, part of GM's "Winning with Simplicity" strategy, also includes keeping clone spare bodies on standby, cutting floor space needs, reducing paint booth colour changes, and locking suppliers to a fixed seven-day delivery schedule.UK INSURERS SHUN MANY CHINESE CARSCarwow research found that half of all insurance quote requests for Chinese vehicles were declined outright by UK insurers, with AXA refusing to quote on all four tested models and Hastings Direct covering only one. Beyond availability, Chinese models averaged £901 per year to insure versus £646 for petrol equivalents — a £255 gap — with insurers citing limited repair data, underdeveloped parts supply chains, and a lack of long-term claims history as key reasons.BMW TIES IONNA DISCOUNT TO US CHARGINGBMW has launched a preferred pricing programme with IONNA, giving BMW and MINI EV drivers a 20% discount on public charging sessions across the network's 1,000-plus US bays, running through 30 September 2026. The discount applies automatically via Plug & Charge or the My BMW App, with no subscription or RFID card required, as part of BMW's broader strategy to build out home, workplace, and public charging infrastructure.EPA DELAYS TIER 4 BY TWO YEARSThe EPA has proposed pushing Biden-era Tier 4 light- and medium-duty vehicle emissions standards back two years, from model year 2027 to 2029, framing the move as a "freedom of choice" measure that the agency says will save automakers and consumers over $1.7 billion. The rollback goes much further than a delay, however — the EPA has also repealed the 2009 Endangerment Finding and all vehicle greenhouse gas regulations, dismantling the legal framework for future federal EV mandates.KIA DEBUTS PV5 SIDE-ENTRY WAV IN EUROPEKia unveiled the PV5 WAV Side Entry at the Motability Scheme Live exhibition in Birmingham on 15 May 2026, claiming a segment first with its side-entry wheelchair access that allows kerb-side boarding — an advantage in dense urban areas where rear access is often blocked. Built for taxi operators, shuttle services, and fleet providers, the van features a reinforced floor, integrated wheelchair anchorage, floor lighting for boarding visibility, and a two-step manual ramp suited to varied road conditions.COULTHARD DRIVES FORMULA E GEN4 AT MONACODavid Coulthard drove Formula E's upcoming GEN4 car on the streets of Monte Carlo, describing the experience as unlike anything in his career — a significant claim from a two-time Monaco Grand Prix winner. The GEN4, set to debut in the 2026/27 season, tops 205mph, weighs under 1,000kg, produces over 800bhp, hits 0–100kph in 1.8 seconds, and delivers a 71% power increase over GEN3 Evo in Attack Mode, with all-wheel drive and a redesigned ergonomic cockpit; it will make its first public show appearance at Goodwood Festival of Speed from 9–12 July.RECYCLING LIFTS OLD BATTERIES INTO BETTER CATHODESResearchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Argonne National Laboratory have developed a recycling process that upcycles spent lithium iron phosphate and lithium manganese oxide cells into higher-performance lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode material, recovering more than 95% of key elements — rivalling or exceeding most commercial operations. Crucially, the process runs at normal temperature and pressure, requires no energy-intensive equipment, fits existing recycling infrastructure, and produces cathode material with higher energy density than the source materials it came from.
