Massive Snake Surge Hits Queensland: Catchers Inundated by Eastern Browns and Red Bellies. Jeremy Zakis discusses how predictions of a snake boom came true in Darling Downs, Queensland, where sightings and bites have soared, potentially tripling last year's numbers. Snake catchers are overwhelmed by the volume of calls. The warm, wet spring accelerated breeding cycles, putting many snakes—including pythons, Eastern Brown snakes, and Red Belly Black snakes—on the move. Eastern Brown snakes are highly aggressive and dangerously fast, with venom that can be fatal within an hour, while Red Belly Black snakes tend to paralyze their prey. Retry

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Mani — legendary bassist of The Stone Roses and Primal Scream, and one of the most influential figures in British rock history. From the euphoric rise of The Stone Roses — the band that defined a generation and changed the sound of British music — to the wild creative freedom of Primal Scream, Mani's journey has been nothing short of iconic. In this conversation, Mani looks back on the moments that shaped him — from the late-'80s Manchester underground, when The Roses' mix of psychedelic swagger and dancefloor groove ignited the Madchester movement, to recording their classic debut album and riding the wave of euphoria that followed. He opens up about the frustration of losing momentum during the long and bitter legal battles with Silvertone Records and FM Revolver, a period that tested the band's spirit but ultimately forged their defiant edge. He recalls the band's rebirth with Second Coming, his explosive years with Primal Scream, and the emotional highs of reuniting The Roses for the monumental Heaton Park shows — one of the greatest comebacks in modern music. Mani reflects on the brotherhood, the chaos, and the transcendence that came with it all — and what it means to live through those storms with joy still intact. "The four of us. Boom. There it is. The power of four. And it was beautiful." – Mani (on the magic of The Stone Roses' reunion) Mani also shares personal memories of the Beautiful Thing sessions, the deep connection between groove and spirituality, and how he's carried The Roses' sense of defiance and soul into everything since. With trademark humour and honesty, he talks about surviving the highs and lows of fame, the secret to keeping the spirit of rock 'n' roll alive, and why music, at its best, still feels like a resurrection. Listen to the full episode and join Mani as he reflects on a lifetime in music — from Manchester to the world — The groove, the chaos, the resurrection.

Emily Glassberg Sands is the Head of Data & AI at Stripe where she leads the organization's efforts to build financial infrastructure for the internet & leverage AI to power Stripe's products. Stripe processes about $1.4 trillion in payments annually (~1.3% of global GDP), making it an exciting opportunity to apply AI & ML at scale. In this episode, Emily shares insights into how Stripe is using AI to solve complex problems like fraud detection, optimizing checkout experiences, & enabling new business models for AI companies. Emily also shares her economist perspective on market efficiency & how Stripe's focus on building economic infrastructure for AI is driving growth across the ecosystem.

The launch of the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) with OpenAI, creating a shared standard for how businesses can expose products to AI agents which is used by Walmart and Sam's Club. How Stripe is helping AI companies manage new fraud vectors, such as free trial and refund abuse, and the importance of real-time, outcome-based billing The impact of AI on Stripe's internal operations, including the use of LLMs for code generation, merchant understanding, and internal tooling Why many AI companies are going global day-one how Stripe's Link network (200M+ consumers) concentrates AI demand. Whether we're in an AI bubble, why GDP hasn't reflected AI productivity gains yet, and how agentic commerce could expand consumption by removing time constraints for high-income consumers Emily's perspective on the changing social contract around AI, the importance of deep thinking, and the role of brand and design in AI-driven products — Where to find Emily Sands X: https://x.com/emilygsands LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/egsands/ Where to find Shawn Wang X: https://x.com/swyx LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawnswyxwang/ Where to find Alessio Fanelli X: https://x.com/FanaHOVA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fanahova/ Where to find Latent Space X: https://x.com/latentspacepod Substack: https://www.latent.space/ Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction and Emily's Role at Stripe 00:09:55 AI Business Models and Fraud Challenges 00:13:49 Extending Radar for AI Economy 00:16:42 Payment Innovation: Token Billing and Stablecoins 00:23:09 Agentic Commerce Protocol Launch 00:29:40 Good Bots vs Bad Bots in AI 00:40:31 Designing the Agents Commerce Protocol 00:49:32 Internal AI Adoption at Stripe 01:04:53 Data Discovery and Text-to-SQL Challenges 01:21:00 AI Economy Analysis: Bubble or Boom?

At the same time, new crypto ETFs continue to launch despite the SEC shutdown, Visa expands its stablecoin settlement support across four blockchains, and Western Union enters the arena with its own USDpt stablecoin. With institutions doubling down and regulators still at odds, the crypto market may be setting up for its next big shift.
In this episode, hear what's really happening across freight, capacity, and the broader logistics landscape, and find out if automation and AI are reshaping jobs faster! I also discuss Amazon and UPS cutting tens of thousands of jobs and the involvement of automation and AI on this matter, the federal pressure on California's CDL standards, and, with cybersecurity threats rising, I share why every freight company needs to vet tech vendors like their business depends on it. Through it all, the message stays the same: build your pipeline, serve your customers, and stay focused on long-term growth.

On this urgent episode of the Hard Asset Money Show, Christian Briggs strips the hype from the AI revolution and explains what it really means for your job, your portfolio, and the broader economy. From software copilots to physical robotics, AI is now automating work across medicine, law, accounting, logistics, aviation, and the home—driving a wave of layoffs that's only just begun. Briggs breaks down why this isn't a dot-com rerun: it's a structural shift powered by massive data centers, semiconductors, and autonomous systems—with real risks, including black-box decisioning, skill erosion, and the concentration of power in a handful of platforms. Most importantly, he lays out where the economic value is likely to accrue (compute, power, metals, and secure data infrastructure), how workers can future-proof with AI-native skills, and why owning real assets can hedge the volatility of the machine age. It's not just about technology—it's about survival strategies in a world where your next boss might be an algorithm.

We are in the middle of a battery boom, for EVs and even more for BESS. What's really happening in the electric vehicle (EV) market? Is China dominating the field, or are serious alternatives emerging? What roles are Europe, the U.S., and other global regions playing? Which chemistries are winning out, and how are prices trending? These are the questions we ask ourselves every day — and today, Gerard and Laurent are thrilled to have someone who can help us answer them. Laurent and Gerard are joined by the brilliant Iola Hughes, Head of Research at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, following its acquisition of Rho Motion. Iola leads research across the battery demand spectrum — from EVs to stationary storage — managing forecasts, tracking battery chemistries, and analyzing the impact of everything from regulation to OEM strategies and technology roadmaps. According to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and Rho Motion, as of 2025:The Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) sector is growing at 40% year-over-yearThe EV market is expanding by 25% year-over-year But perhaps the most surprising trend is that forecasts made just 18 months ago are being exceeded — in nearly every region except the United States. There, the current administration appears to be kneecapped the industry by rolling back both incentives (like tax credits) and regulations (such as CAFE and emissions standards). Nissan in the US is moving back from EVs to hybrids while GM passes billions of impairments. On the industrial side, it's increasingly a case of China versus the world. China now has the capacity to manufacture a staggering 50 million vehicles per year, far outpacing domestic demand and sparking concerns about overcapacity. In summary: we are witnessing a growing divide in the global battery and EV space. China is clearly in the lead. Europe and others are racing to catch up. And the U.S.? It's at risk of falling further behind — not for lack of potential, but because of political and policy choices.https://www.benchmarkminerals.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/iolahughes/ https://x.com/RhoMoIola Stunning visuals from FT on the development of batteries (most of the sources came from Benchmark) https://ig.ft.com/mega-batteries
Small Business Economy Steady; AI Remains a 'Toy'. Gene Marks reports on the small business economy, noting steady activity among machine parts manufacturers, often preparing for an "onshoring boom." Construction and housing are holding steady but anticipate a future boom as interest rates decline. Tariffs have a muted impact, often absorbed or passed on as separate invoice line items for transparency. Marks demonstrates that AI, despite its advances, is not ready for prime-time business use, failing to accurately generate a requested image of a Yorkshire Terrier hitting a home run.
