Jason and Asher replace Rob with a much more humane and humble co-host, Elon Musk, to explore the feasibility of harnessing the entire sun to power AI superintelligence. We come away perplexed that not much of the excellent reporting on the environmental, energy, and financial risks of the AI boom address the googleplex-sized elephant in the room – that both AI success and failure lead to immiseration.

This week, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the idea of the news bubble—how algorithms, tribalism, and polarization shape what we see and how we react to the news. In Part 3 of a six-episode series on engaging with the news mindfully, Josh draws on Jewish wisdom and a powerful Talmudic teaching about being “soft like a reed and not stiff like a cedar” to reflect on how news bubbles can harden us into judgment and certainty, and how mindfulness can help us stay grounded, flexible, and compassionate. The episode closes with a guided meditation inviting listeners to notice their reactions to the news, soften their grip on judgment, and engage the world with more curiosity and spaciousness.

Today's guest is Richard Bernstein, Chief Investment Officer of Richard Bernstein Advisors, which he founded in 2009. He was previously the Chief Investment Strategist at Merrill Lynch. In today's episode, Richard argues that the market is defined by rampant speculation and extreme narrowness. He explains why he's bullish on both dividend-paying and international stocks and believes crypto is the first global investment bubble. To close, he warns that corporate credit is priced for perfection, inflation risks aren't gone, and diversification is the best defense in a bubble-prone market.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming ... a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum This week's Drum Panel has me joined by Mark Stepro and Kris Mazzarisi for a wide-ranging conversation about what happens when gigs fall through, routines get shaken, and you're forced to rethink how you want to work and live as a drummer.

Peter Chiappinelli, chief investment officer at Ballentine Partners says "When everyone is talking about a bubble, I sleep much, much better at night, because it means we're probably not in one." He makes the case that valuations are high — which could hold down potential earnings moving forward — but that they still justify the market action we have seen. He's cautiously optimistic that gains can continue, with his worry being the geopolitics, but he says the market has overcome plenty of exogenous shocks in recent years, and that recession risk is "almost nil" so that investors should expect volatility in which bad news is amplified but not turning conditions ugly. Laks Ganapathi, chief executive officer, at Unicus Research — an independent short-only research firm — makes her debut in the Market Call, discussing the disciplines of short-selling and whether a long stock market rally fueled by just a few companies has left her with an abundance of potentially lagging companies to choose from. Plus, Chuck talks about the changing life conditions — and then the monetary realities — that led him to make a big personal finance decision he never would have believed just a few weeks ago, replacing his old beater of a car with a new vehicle which he is leasing. Chuck's last new car purchase was nearly 40 years ago; he says that buying a used car to replace the old one made sense, until it didn't.

Few people experienced the Dot-Com bubble with more vertiginous intensity than Bill Gross, the Pasadena-based founder of Idealab and many many other internet startups over the last 30 years. So when I sat down with Gross at DLD, I couldn't resist opening with the boom/bubble gambit. How, I asked him, does today's AI hysteria compare with the Web 1.0 madness of the Nineties? While Gross - whose current ProRata.ai play is focused on protecting creativity in the age of generative AI - doesn't believe that today's boom is akin to the Dot-Com bubble, there are similarities. We are at what Gross calls a “Napster moment” in terms of making the big LLMs accountable for all the content they are illegally crawling (ie: stealing). And to get beyond this moment, he says, everyone from Google and OpenAI to Perplexity and Anthropic, needs to move to a “Spotify model” that fairly shares revenue with the human creators of knowledge.

The companies that went under when the Dot-Com bubble burst.Episode 228 carries us through the hazy shade of winter with a warm fire filled with GenX nostalgia.It kicks off with a look back at some of the most famous, or in some cases infamous, infomercial products we'd see when staying home from school in the 1980s and 1990s. Spray-on hair? Knives that can cut through cans? Stopping the insanity? It's all here and much more.Sometimes less is more, and sometimes quieter makes a louder sound.

We will examine the history of one of the most influential television shows in music history.All bubbles burst. When the Dot-Com bubble burst at the turn of the 21st century, it created a vacuum that took with it many once-prosperous companies.

In this episode, I sit down with science fiction author, activist, and journalist Cory Doctorow to unpack his viral concept of Enshitification, the three-act tragedy of platform decay: 1. be good to users 2. lock them in 3. extract value from users to feed advertisers and shareholdersWe also dive into:- The AI bubble: Cory's case that parts of the sector are propped up by aggressive accounting and incentives, not durable value.- The “Reverse Centaur”: How workers (from Amazon drivers to radiologists) are being reorganized to serve machine workflows, rather than machines serving humans.- Software engineering vs. “vibe coding”: Why autocomplete isn't engineering, and why AI can't replace process knowledge and domain context.- The Post-American Internet: What happens when the U.S. weaponizes platforms, and the rest of the world builds alternatives.About Cory Doctorow: Cory is a multi-time international bestselling author, special advisor to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and creator of the blog/newsletter Pluralistic.If you got value from this conversation, hit Follow and share it with one person who cares about the future of tech.

Thanks to our Partner, Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeMatt goes down a rabbit hole on the science of bubbles and comes back with something surprisingly practical: cavitation is a major source of cooling-system component damage, especially in and around water pumps. The “bad guy” isn't the bubble forming—it's the bubble collapsing, releasing intense localized energy, micro-jetting, and shock waves that pit and erode metal surfaces over time. The takeaway: approach cooling-system maintenance as anti-cavitation prevention, not just “keep it from overheating.”Key topics coveredWhy cavitation damage is often misattributed to electrolysis (and what's actually happening)The real destruction mechanism:Bubble collapse → extreme localized heat (doesn't “cook” the system, but signals energy density)Micro-jet stream through the collapsing bubble “donut” → pitting/erosionShock wave effects (ties into why ultrasonic cleaning works)How bubbles form even in a pressurized cooling systemLocalized low-pressure zones behind an impeller bladePressure drops along surfaces and restrictions (design or contamination-caused)Why “radiator cap” is a misleading nameBetter term: degassing capIt maintains system pressure (key to preventing local boiling) and “burps” gas/vapor outCoolant chemistry isn't just freeze/boil protectionThe inhibitor package forms a protective barrier on internal surfaces that absorbs cavitation attackOver time that protection depletes → cavitation damage shows upWater quality matters more than most people thinkMinerals/impurities can create deposits → restrictions → pressure drop zones → bubblesContamination can also become nucleation points for bubble formationDistilled/RO water or properly formulated premix is the safer play“Universal coolant” skepticismUse proper coolant type for the application—chemistry and inhibitor packages matterPractical takeaways for shopsStart treating cooling-system service as evidence-based preventionTesting and inspection that should be part of regular maintenance:Degassing cap pressure test (rated pressure matters)Coolant concentration (ideally with a refractometer/hydro refractometer)

Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I've been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years. Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic. To keep up with the Exponential transition, subscribe to this channel or to my newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ -------- In this episode, I share my outlook for 2026 and explain why AI tools now feel genuinely different. I explore how the act of making has been transformed, why authenticity and meaning will become the new scarcity, and whether the foundations of energy and capital can hold. I also address the question I was asked most in 2025: when will the AI bubble burst? Skip to the best bits: 00:00 Why AI feels different in 2026 01:59 The six shifts in AI 03:32 The "done list" era 06:43 From execution to orchestration 09:02 The agentic coding revolution 11:10 What's a Chief Question Officer? 13:58 Three ways value will be created 16:27 "Claude told me to use ChatGPT" 18:02 The AI usage gap 20:30 The new moat in 2026 26:10 How does solar growth affect AI? 28:53 Revisiting the bubble or boom question ------ Where to find me: Exponential View newsletter: https://www.exponentialview.co/ Website: https://www.azeemazhar.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/azhar/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/azeem Production by supermix.io and EPIIPLUS1 Production and research: Chantal Smith and Marija Gavrilov.

Trump delivered a major economic speech yesterday, in which he advocated for all the policies that created inflation, fake wealth, and the K-shaped economy to begin with. He wants endless near-zero interest rates and more juicing of the housing and stock-market bubbles. Also, everything he is doing is executive actions with no plan to codify them in Congress. Next, I explain how Bibi Netanyahu is pushing for a phaseout of aid to his country, while Trump shockingly opposes it. Our main discussion today is about letting the housing bubble deflate on its own. We're joined by Melody Wright, a mortgage finance and housing policy expert, who explains how prices are already coming down. There will be a crash, but on balance, that is a good thing. The problem is that everything the government is doing will lead to price increases. Trump is also misdiagnosing the problem as one of interest rates and supply. In fact, developers have overbuilt in most parts of the country. Rather than treating the delayed symptom of corporate ownership, the time has come to treat the cause, which is government ownership of housing. Let the bubble pop! Learn more about your ad choices.
