Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x614! Shameless plug 10 au 12 novembre 2025 - IAQ - Le Rendez-vous IA Québec 17 au 20 novembre 2025 - European Cyber Week 25 et 26 février 2026 - SéQCure 2065 Description Ce podcast explore les réalités et malentendus entourant l'intelligence artificielle, avec Mickael Nadeau, expert du domaine depuis plusieurs années. La discussion révèle les confusions actuelles entre les différents types d'IA et l'importance cruciale de la transparence dans cette technologie. L'expertise précoce face à la popularisation récente Mickael Nadeau travaillait déjà dans l'intelligence artificielle appliquée à la cyberdéfense en 2021, bien avant l'explosion populaire de ChatGPT. Cette expérience lui donne une perspective unique sur l'évolution du secteur. Il observe aujourd'hui que “tout le monde est rendu des experts en IA”, alors que la réalité de la compréhension technologique est bien différente. Cette popularisation soudaine a créé une situation où les termes “IA”, “machine learning” et “intelligence artificielle générative” sont constamment confondus et utilisés de manière interchangeable. La confusion terminologique généralisée L'un des problèmes majeurs identifiés est la tendance à réduire l'IA à ChatGPT ou aux chatbots génériques. Pour beaucoup, l'IA s'arrête à ces outils conversationnels, alors qu'elle englobe en réalité de nombreux segments d'algorithmes différents, conçus pour répondre à des besoins spécifiques. Cette confusion se manifeste particulièrement dans les appels d'offres gouvernementaux, où Nadeau a récemment dû répondre à des questions “sidérantes” mélageant concepts d'IA générative, de stockage de données, de métadonnées et de propriété intellectuelle. Ces questions semblent inspirées du RGPD européen, le Québec tentant de suivre cette approche réglementaire. Cependant, elles révèlent une incompréhension fondamentale des différences entre les types d'IA et leurs implications techniques. Les rédacteurs de ces documents mélangent l'entraînement des modèles, l'hébergement cloud, et les différents types d'algorithmes, créant un “amalgame” de préoccupations légitimes mais mal contextualisées. L'IA traditionnelle versus l'IA générative La distinction entre l'IA traditionnelle (machine learning classique) et l'IA générative (GenAI) est cruciale mais mal comprise. L'IA existe depuis des décennies dans nos appareils quotidiens : la prédiction de texte sur nos téléphones, les algorithmes de recommandation de Netflix, la correction automatique, ou encore les moteurs de recherche Google utilisent tous des formes d'intelligence artificielle. Ces applications sont ciblées, efficaces et consomment relativement peu d'énergie. En revanche, les grands modèles de langage (LLM) comme ChatGPT sont des outils généralistes comparables à “faire du trail avec un char de ville”. Ils peuvent produire des résultats dans de nombreux domaines, mais au prix d'une consommation énergétique massive et avec des risques d'erreurs ou d'hallucinations. Cette différence fondamentale explique pourquoi Google et Apple n'ont pas initialement développé de chatbots grand public : ils utilisaient déjà l'IA de manière spécialisée et efficace. L'évolution technologique et les capacités actuelles Ce qui a véritablement changé récemment, ce ne sont pas les algorithmes eux-mêmes, mais la puissance de calcul disponible. Les concepts statistiques sous-jacents au machine learning existent depuis des décennies. Cependant, l'accès démocratisé aux serveurs puissants, aux cartes graphiques spécialisées et aux capacités cloud a permis de traiter des volumes de données impensables il y a encore cinq ans. Cette évolution technologique a également permis l'émergence de nouveaux paradigmes, comme les MCP (Model Context Protocol), qui agissent comme des coprocesseurs spécialisés. Ces systèmes permettent de combiner plusieurs agents IA spécialisés plutôt que de s'appuyer sur un seul modèle généraliste. Cette approche modulaire, déjà utilisée par Apple et Google sur leurs téléphones, représente probablement l'avenir de l'IA pratique. Les défis de qualité et de fiabilité Un problème récurrent avec les outils d'IA générative concerne la qualité et la fiabilité des résultats. Nadeau partage des exemples frustrants de personnes envoyant des courriels clairement générés par IA, contenant des erreurs ou des “hallucinations” que l'expéditeur n'a même pas pris la peine de relire. Cette paresse révèle une confiance aveugle dangereuse envers ces outils. Pour le développement de code, les modèles généralistes produisent souvent du code non maintenable, inventent des bibliothèques inexistantes, ou créent des solutions partiellement fonctionnelles. En revanche, les modèles spécialisés comme Claude Code, entraînés spécifiquement sur du code de qualité, produisent des résultats significativement meilleurs. Cette différence illustre l'importance de choisir l'outil approprié pour chaque tâche. La question cruciale de la transparence Le défi majeur identifié par Nadeau concerne la transparence des systèmes d'IA. Contrairement aux LLM qui fonctionnent comme des “boîtes noires”, les systèmes d'IA spécialisés peuvent être conçus pour expliquer leurs décisions. Dans leur solution de cyberdéfense, ils indiquent le degré de confiance du modèle dans chaque décision et expliquent le raisonnement sous-jacent. Cette transparence devient un avantage concurrentiel majeur. Elle permet aux utilisateurs de comprendre pourquoi une décision a été prise, d'évaluer la fiabilité du résultat, et de prendre des décisions éclairées. Cette approche contraste avec la mentalité “trust me bro” de nombreuses solutions actuelles qui demandent une confiance aveugle dans leurs résultats “magiques”. Les enjeux géopolitiques et de confidentialité La discussion révèle également les préoccupations géopolitiques autour de l'IA. L'interdiction de TikTok aux États-Unis, les amendes contre ByteDance en Europe, et les questions sur l'envoi de données en Chine illustrent ces tensions. Cependant, les intervenants soulignent l'hypocrisie de ces préoccupations : les mêmes questions auraient dû être posées depuis longtemps concernant le cloud computing, les applications mobiles, et les services web en général. OpenAI a été forcé de conserver indéfiniment les conversations ChatGPT par les tribunaux américains, mais Google conserve déjà toutes nos recherches. Cette situation révèle un “réveil tardif” face à des pratiques existantes depuis des années. L'IA générative a simplement rendu visible des problématiques de confidentialité préexistantes. L'avenir : spécialisation et orchestration L'avenir de l'IA semble s'orienter vers des écosystèmes d'agents spécialisés orchestrés intelligemment. Plutôt qu'un seul modèle généraliste tentant de tout faire, nous verrons probablement des “essaims” de petits agents, chacun expert dans un domaine particulier. Cette approche, déjà visible dans les dernières versions de ChatGPT et Gemini qui intègrent des modules de recherche web, promet des résultats plus fiables et plus efficaces. Conclusion : éducation et transparence Le podcast se termine sur l'importance de l'éducation et de la transparence. La confusion actuelle autour de l'IA résulte largement d'un manque de compréhension des différentes technologies et de leurs implications. Les consommateurs, régulateurs, et entreprises doivent développer une meilleure compréhension de ces outils pour les utiliser efficacement et en toute sécurité. La transparence devient non seulement un impératif éthique mais aussi un avantage concurrentiel. Les entreprises capables d'expliquer clairement le fonctionnement de leurs systèmes d'IA, leurs limites, et leurs garanties de confidentialité auront un avantage significatif dans un marché de plus en plus méfiant face aux “boîtes noires” technologiques. Cette évolution vers plus de transparence et de spécialisation pourrait finalement résoudre de nombreux problèmes actuels de l'IA, tout en réalisant son véritable potentiel dans des applications pratiques et fiables.

In dieser Episode liefern Host Florian Vette und MOVESELL Marketplace Experte Ole Schleth wieder frische Marketplace-Insights, gespickt mit überraschenden Entwicklungen bei Amazon, TikTok und Walmart sowie spannenden Strategien für Marken. Amazon zieht sich zurück: Warum hat der E-Commerce-Gigant seine Anzeigen auf Google Shopping weltweit gestoppt – und welche Chancen eröffnet das für Marken, die jetzt selbst auf Google aktiv werden? Vorsprung am Starttag: Vine-Bewertungen gibt's nun schon vor Launch – wie können Seller mit bis zu 30 geprüften Reviews vom ersten Verkaufstag an durchstarten? TikTok spaltet sich: Was bedeutet die Abkopplung der US-Version von ByteDance – und warum könnte ein veränderter Algorithmus das Nutzerverhalten komplett umkrempeln? Gebühren im Griff: Mit dem neuen Seller-Tool lassen sich alle Kosten transparent berechnen und optimieren – lohnt sich ein genauer Blick für jeden Händler? Walmart mit Visionen: Ist die klassische Suchleiste bald passé? Wie realistisch ist die Ankündigung, dass Conversational AI Bots den Produktsuche-Alltag ersetzen sollen – und wie könnte Amazon reagieren?

"China's approach is very pragmatic. People have been saying DeepSeek did it out of necessity. There's obviously a GPU constraint and hardware constraint in China, something they're working around. In many ways, the engineering genius and engineering innovation is what set DeepSeek apart. It challenged a global narrative around needing more GPUs and more money to get better AI. It was about throwing capital at the problem. It was a different approach because the capital ecosystem in China itself is very different. People talk about proof of concept - you have to prove your concept first in China to get funding. For many startups, they weren't getting much funding before the DeepSeek moment. To your point, no one really knew it would have a strong ROI, so only the BATs that had money and understood the technology were backing it." - Grace Shao, Founder of AI Proem Newsletter Fresh out of the studio, Grace Shao, founder of AI Proem Newsletter and former CNBC and CGTN journalist, joins us to explore the rise of generative AI in China and how it's reshaping the global technology narrative. She began the story of her career journey and started with the conversation reflecting on how the DeepSeek moment revitalized China's internet sector after years of regulatory challenges and geopolitical tensions. Grace unpacks the pragmatic Chinese approach to AI development, explaining how companies like ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent are leveraging their unique ecosystems and data advantages while startups embrace open-weight models to prove innovation over imitation. She discusses why the "China versus US AI arms race" narrative misses the point, the strategic reasons behind companies relocating to avoid geopolitical sensitivities, and how distribution challenges are separating winners from losers in the consumer AI space. Addressing the broader implications, Grace explores the real opportunities in robotics, vertical AI applications, and why collaboration rather than competition should define the industry's future. Closing the conversation, she shares her vision for bridging cultural understanding between East and West and what success looks like for the next generation of AI development.

De pogingen van het Witte Huis om te voorkomen dat Nvidia's B200 chips in China belanden, lijken een nogal grote mislukking. In een paar maanden tijd werd er in China voor zeker 1 miljard dollar verkocht. Daar blijkt een enorme zwarte markt te zijn ontstaan. Een grote spil in die markt is een bedrijf genaamd 'Gate of the Era'. Dat distribueert niet alleen de chips, maar verkoopt ze zelfs in kant-en-klare serverracks. Voor een kleine half miljoen dollar kunnen AI-bedrijven daar een serverkast met acht B200's kopen. Hoe de chips in China terecht komen, blijft een raadsel. Foto's die de FT heeft ingezien suggereren dat de geassembleerde servers van onder andere SuperMicro komen, een Amerikaans assemblage-bedrijf. Maar dat ontkent er zelf mee te maken te hebben. Ook wie uiteindelijk de servers koopt is onduidelijk. Al heeft Gate of the Era ruim honderd zakenpartners, waaronder ook cloudbedrijven zoals Alibaba, ByteDance en Baidu. Maar ook zij ontkennen met de zwarte markt te maken te hebben. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a WEEK! Qwen-mass in July. Folks, AI doesn't seem to be wanting to slow down, especially Open Source! This week we see yet another jump on SWE-bench verified (3rd week in a row?) this time from our friends at Alibaba Qwen. Was a pleasure of mine to host Junyang Lin from the team at Alibaba to come and chat with us about their incredible release with, with not 1 but three new models! Then, we had a great chat with Joseph Nelson from Roboflow, who not only dropped additional SOTA models, but was also in Washington at the annocement of the new AI Action plan from the WhiteHouse. Great conversations this week, as always, TL;DR in the end, tune in! Open Source AI - QwenMass in JulyThis week, the open-source world belonged to our friends at Alibaba Qwen. They didn't just release one model; they went on an absolute tear, dropping bomb after bomb on the community and resetting the state-of-the-art multiple times.A "Small" Update with Massive Impact: Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507Alibaba called this a minor refresh of their 235B parameter mixture-of-experts.Sure—if you consider +13 points on GPQA, 256K context window minor. The 2507 drops hybrid thinking. Instead, Qwen now ships separate instruct and chain-of-thought models, avoiding token bloat when you just want a quick answer. Benchmarks? 81 % MMLU-Redux, 70 % LiveCodeBench, new SOTA on BFCL function-calling. All with 22 B active params.Our friend of the pod, and head of development at Alibaba Qwen, Junyang Lin, join the pod, and talked to us about their decision to uncouple this model from the hybrid reasoner Qwen3."After talking with the community and thinking it through," he said, "we decided to stop using hybrid thinking mode. Instead, we'll train instruct and thinking models separately so we can get the best quality possible."The community felt the hybrid model sometimes had conflicts and didn't always perform at its best. So, Qwen delivered a pure non-reasoning instruct model, and the results are staggering. Even without explicit reasoning, it's crushing benchmarks. Wolfram tested it on his MMLU-Pro benchmark and it got the top score of all open-weights models he's ever tested. Nisten saw the same thing on medical benchmarks, where it scored the highest on MedMCQA. This thing is a beast, getting a massive 77.5 on GPQA (up from 62.9) and 51.8 on LiveCodeBench (up from 32). This is a huge leap forward, and it proves that a powerful, well-trained instruct model can still push the boundaries of reasoning. The New (open) King of Code: Qwen3-Coder-480B (X, Try It, HF)Just as we were catching our breath, they dropped the main event: Qwen3-Coder. This is a 480-billion-parameter coding-specific behemoth (35B active) trained on a staggering 7.5 trillion tokens, with a 70% code ratio, that gets a new SOTA on SWE-bench verified with 69.6% (just a week after Kimi got SOTA with 65% and 2 weeks after Devstral's SOTA of 53%

De plus en plus de Big Tech se passionnent pour la "super intelligence", comprenez une IA qui, d'après l'ancien boss de Google Eric Schmidt, pourrait être plus performante que toute l'humanité pour régler les problèmes du futur. Ainsi de Mark Zuckerberg, qui, pour étoffer son Super intelligence Lab, est prêt à signer des chèques de 300 millions de dollars sur quatre ans. Dans cette guerre, Meta recrute en rafale dans les rangs d'OpenAI... pour mieux affronter Baidu ou ByteDance.

Après avoir repoussé au 17 septembre l'échéance imposée à la très populaire application chinoise de vidéos courtes pour céder sa filiale aux États-Unis, le président américain assure être « tout près » d'un accord avec Pékin. Pour les conservateurs américains, l'enjeu est aussi électoral. Les tarifs douaniers et la guerre commerciale ne sont pas les seuls dossiers à empoisonner les relations entre Washington et Pékin depuis le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche. Le sort de TikTok est aussi source de crispation. Lors de son premier mandat, Donald Trump avait accusé l'application de servir les intérêts des services d'espionnages de Pékin, menaçant de l'interdire aux États-Unis. Mais c'est finalement Joe Biden qui, avec le soutien du Congrès, avait signé le décret imposant à ByteDance, la maison mère chinoise, de céder sa filiale américaine sous peine d'être mise sur liste noire. Un décret sur lequel Donald Trump n'est pas revenu, même si depuis, un peu comme pour les droits de douane, il ne cesse de repousser l'échéance, désormais fixée au 17 septembre prochain. Vendredi dernier, depuis Air Force One, le président américain assurait qu'un accord était « tout proche ». « Lundi ou mardi, nous allons en parler avec la Chine, le président Xi ou un de ses représentants », déclarait-il au pool de journalistes présents dans l'avion présidentiel. « Il faudra probablement obtenir l'aval de la Chine... mais ça n'est pas sûr. En tout cas, c'est un bon deal, pour la Chine et pour nous. » Un accord en vue selon Donald Trump Donald Trump assure qu'il a trouvé un repreneur américain, évoquant sans plus de précisions « un groupe de personnes très riches ». Mercredi 9 juillet, Reuters affirmait qu'une application exclusive au marché américain serait en préparation au sein de TikTok, ce qui tendrait à confirmer l'hypothèse d'un accord tout proche. Information aussitôt fermement démentie par ByteDance, tout comme l'entreprise chinoise avait balayé plus tôt les rumeurs de vente à un groupe d'entreprises américaines dirigé par Oracle. Lundi, un porte-parole du gouvernement chinois s'est contenté de dire que la position de Pékin sur ce dossier n'avait pas changé. Pas de quoi entamer l'optimisme débridé de Donald Trump, également persuadé qu'un « deal » rapporterait « beaucoup d'argent » aux États-Unis. Une affirmation contre-intuitive à première vue : si une ou des entreprises américaines rachètent TikTok, cela leur coûterait plusieurs dizaines de milliards de dollars, pas l'inverse. C'est sans compter la logique du président américain qui mélange allègrement intérêts publics et privés. « Sans permis, TikTok ne vaut rien », déclarait Donald Trump en janvier. « Alors qu'avec un permis ça vaut des centaines de milliards de dollars. Donc, je me disais, on pourrait dire à quelqu'un de l'acheter et d'en céder la moitié aux États-Unis en échange d'un permis. Les États-Unis sauraient se montrer très reconnaissants. » Un enjeu aussi électoral Mais l'intérêt de Donald Trump pour l'application de ByteDance est loin d'être seulement financier. « Nous avons remporté le vote des jeunes grâce à TikTok, donc j'ai un faible pour TikTok », rappelait le président américain en janvier, soudainement beaucoup plus conciliant avec l'application. Entretemps, Donald et ses alliés se sont peut-être rendu compte que TikTok n'avait pas favorisé le candidat républicain seulement auprès des jeunes. Au milieu d'un article du service data du Washington Post consacré à la bascule des minorités en faveur du camp conservateur au Canada, aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni, on retrouve une analyse plus poussée du vote des personnes racisées, celles et ceux que le journal appelle « les non blancs ».Traditionnellement, cette catégorie de la population vote plutôt démocrate, même quand ils sont plutôt conservateurs sur le plan des valeurs ou de l'économie. Mais c'est de moins en moins vrai, surtout quand ils ne s'informent pas en suivant le média majoritaire aux États-Unis : la télévision. Les minorités qui s'informent autrement votent tout autant démocrate que républicain. Et le seul média où elles sont mieux représentées que les personnes blanches, c'est... TikTok. Contrôler l'application chinoise, avoir la main sur son algorithme est donc un investissement stratégique en terme électoral pour les conservateurs américains, et donc pour Donald Trump.

Épisode 1347 : Le 31 mars dernier, TikTok a lancé officiellement TikTok Shop en France, en Allemagne et en Italie. Un mois plus tôt, l'Espagne et l'Irlande avaient servi de tremplin. L'ambition ? Réinventer le e-commerce à la sauce TikTok, en mêlant divertissement et shopping. Sur le papier, c'est sexy. Dans les faits, c'est plus compliqué.TikTok Shop, c'est quoi ?ByteDance veut faire de TikTok un géant du commerce. Un vrai. Pas juste un outil d'influence. L'idée est simple : intégrer la vente directement dans l'app. Tu scrolles, tu vois un produit, tu cliques, tu achètes. Sans jamais quitter TikTok.Comment ça se présente ?Des vidéos courtes avec bouton d'achat.Du live shopping.Un onglet « Boutique » dans l'app.Des pages vitrines pour les marques.Côté modèle, TikTok prend une commission de 9 % sur les ventes.

C'est peut-être la fin d'un long feuilleton qui tient la tech mondiale en haleine depuis plus d'un an. TikTok, la célèbre application chinoise aux 170 millions d'utilisateurs aux États-Unis, pourrait finalement échapper au bannissement. Et ce, grâce à un accord à l'américaine, porté notamment… par Oracle, la société de Larry Ellison, proche de Donald Trump.On se souvient : en 2023, une loi permettait d'interdire TikTok sur le sol américain, au nom de la sécurité nationale. Washington redoutait que les données personnelles des utilisateurs ne tombent entre les mains de Pékin. Mais Donald Trump, alors encore très impliqué dans les discussions, avait suspendu à trois reprises l'application de cette interdiction, le temps de chercher un repreneur américain.Cette fois, on y est presque. Un consortium d'entreprises, dont Oracle serait la tête de pont, s'apprête à racheter les opérations américaines de TikTok. Une nouvelle version de l'application, distincte de l'actuelle, devrait apparaître sur les stores américains le 5 septembre 2025. Objectif : héberger toutes les données aux États-Unis, sur des serveurs gérés par Oracle, et assurer une prise de contrôle progressive par les nouveaux investisseurs. Mais attention, ce ne sera pas une simple copie conforme. Selon une enquête, ByteDance – la maison mère de TikTok – aurait préparé un double de son algorithme de recommandation, pour ne pas céder le modèle original. Car ce système, cœur du succès de TikTok, reste inégalé à ce jour.D'ici mars 2026, les utilisateurs devront migrer vers la nouvelle app, au risque de voir leur version actuelle désactivée. Une opération titanesque, qui vise à couper toute dépendance technologique à la Chine, même si ByteDance conserverait une participation minoritaire. Reste une inconnue : le feu vert de Pékin. Car dans un contexte de tensions commerciales croissantes entre les deux puissances, rien n'est encore gagné. Et côté usagers, il faudra s'attendre à quelques couacs : bugs, pertes de données ou interruptions de service ne sont pas à exclure pendant cette migration d'envergure. Hébergé par Acast.

Today on FLYTECH Daily, Nick and Michelle are digging into five stories that span foldable phones, federal fines, and a potential TikTok sequel. Here's what's on the feed:  

Affiliate marketing is shedding its outdated reputation and entering a new era—one centered on authenticity, emotional resonance, and genuine human connection. In fact, during the 2024 U.S. Cyber Monday, influencers and affiliate marketers were responsible for driving around 20% of e-commerce revenue, highlighting just how influential trust-based recommendations have become. At the center of that shift is “vibe marketing,” a new way of thinking about how brands and creators grow together.So, what does it really mean to “get the vibe right”? And how are creators and brands redefining influence?In this episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, host Adam Morrisey speaks with Andrew Abony, founder and CEO of Adbloom, about how affiliate marketing is evolving into something bigger—what Andrew calls vibe marketing. Andrew's background spans traditional media, early-stage startups, and the modern creator economy, and he's on a mission to help people earn a living by being themselves.The duo talk about what it really means to “get the vibe right,” how brands are losing control (in a good way), and why authenticity is the most valuable currency in marketing today.Key takeaways from the episode…Affiliate = Authentic referrals at scaleAndrew reframes affiliate marketing as a simple idea: people sharing products they actually use and love—and getting paid for it.Vibes > ViralityBrands win when their values, products, and partners align emotionally. When that alignment is off, people feel it and tune out.Execution over everythingThere are lots of good ideas out there. The ones that win are the ones that get shipped. No matter how scrappy the start.Let go of controlThe best-performing content often comes from creators, not corporate. Smart brands are leaning into co-creation, not just dictating the narrative.The new frontier is human + AICreators are using AI to scale their voice. Not to replace themselves, but to extend what they can do across platforms.The episode also covers…The story behind Adbloom's startThe origin of affiliate marketingStanley mugs and vibe-driven growthWhy B2B is starting to look more like D2CCreating community as a byproduct of doing something specialRunning, raison d'être, and what happens when you have the will and support to winAndrew Abony is the CEO and co-founder of Adbloom, a high-growth affiliate and partnership marketing agency that helps startups and enterprise clients scale through creator-driven content and performance marketing. With over 15 years of experience in growth strategy, digital product innovation, and mobile marketing, he has led initiatives at companies like Mood Media and Somerset Entertainment, where he launched award-winning products and forged key partnerships. His clients have included major brands like Uber, Buzzfeed, RBC, and ByteDance, and his work spans the gig economy, fintech, edtech, and D2C sectors.

The Senate is set to begin a “vote-a-rama” series of votes on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act after a weekend of bill reading and debates that wrapped up in the early hours of Monday morning. During the “vote-a-rama,” senators will undertake a marathon series of mandatory votes on amendments before the chamber can proceed to consideration of the Republican megabill itself.President Donald Trump said in an interview that aired on Fox News on Sunday that he has found a buyer for the China-owned short-video app TikTok, and that he will reveal the purchaser in around two weeks. Trump signed an executive order on June 19 extending the deadline for the sale of TikTok by another 90 days, giving the company until Sept. 17 to separate itself from its Beijing-based parent company, ByteDance—or to face a ban in the United States.

FBI Monitors Iranian Sleeper Cells as War with Israel Escalates The FBI increases surveillance of suspected Hezbollah operatives inside the U.S., fearing possible terror plots as Israel continues strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The false report of a hit on Iran's Bushehr plant sparked regional panic, though other key nuclear sites have been damaged. Israel Eyes Fordow Strike as U.S. Prepares Stealth Bomber Option Israeli commandos may attempt a daring assault on the heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. Meanwhile, the U.S. considers launching B-2 stealth bombers from Diego Garcia. The base's new lease with China-friendly Mauritius complicates disclosure requirements, raising diplomatic concerns. Peace Talks Stall as Trump Warns Iran and Public Opinion Backs Action Trump's updated peace offer was rejected by Iran. Polling shows 75% of Americans support preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, even if force is necessary. However, some polls show less support for direct U.S. involvement. Trump Withdraws More U.S. Troops from Syria American forces are being consolidated to a single base, with local allies stepping in to fill the gap. The reduction reflects Trump's goal of letting regional players secure their own territory. Panama Sides with China on Canal Ports A Chinese state-owned consortium will take over port operations on both ends of the Panama Canal, rejecting a U.S.-backed bid. The White House is expected to respond next week to this strategic setback. Trump Extends TikTok Sale Deadline in Violation of Law Despite a congressional mandate, Trump grants another 90-day extension for ByteDance to sell TikTok. Legal challenges are expected, though both parties are hesitant to anger young voters. Democrat Governors Cut Off Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants Budget overruns in California, Illinois, and Minnesota are forcing Democrat leaders to scale back health coverage for undocumented migrants. The cuts reveal higher-than-expected migrant numbers and usage, raising questions about official immigration estimates. Portland Decline Mirrors Leftist Unrest Antifa violence continues in Portland, with attacks on ICE facilities and widespread downtown decay. Court documents cite homeless encampments and drug use inside landmark buildings like the U.S. Bancorp Tower, now for sale at an 80% loss. Poll: Democrats Losing Christian Voters Nationwide A new poll shows Christians across denominations overwhelmingly reject the Democratic Party. While Black Christians remain a core base, overall trust is eroding fast, especially in light of cultural and moral concerns. Trade War Hits Canada, Spares Mexico U.S.-Canada trade fell by 10.5% in May, while Mexico saw only a 2.8% drop. Analysts point to Mexico's more diplomatic tone with Trump compared to Canada's confrontational approach.

This Day in Legal History: Atkins v. VirginiaOn June 20, 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a landmark ruling in Atkins v. Virginia, holding that the execution of individuals with intellectual disabilities violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. The case centered on Daryl Renard Atkins, who was convicted of abduction, armed robbery, and capital murder in Virginia. During the penalty phase of his trial, defense attorneys presented evidence that Atkins had an IQ of 59 and functioned at the level of a child. Despite this, he was sentenced to death.In a 6-3 decision, the Court reversed its earlier stance from Penry v. Lynaugh (1989), which had allowed such executions. Justice John Paul Stevens, writing for the majority, emphasized the "evolving standards of decency" in American society, noting that a growing number of states had barred the death penalty for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The Court recognized that such defendants are at a heightened risk of wrongful execution due to difficulties in assisting their own defense and the possibility of false confessions.The decision did not establish a national standard for determining intellectual disability, leaving that to the states, but it set a constitutional floor by barring executions in these cases outright. Atkins significantly reshaped the legal landscape of capital punishment, prompting states to revise death penalty statutes and sentencing procedures.The ruling reinforced the importance of individualized sentencing and safeguarded vulnerable populations from the most severe penalties. It also underscored the role of psychological and scientific evidence in constitutional interpretation. While not without criticism, Atkins remains a cornerstone of Eighth Amendment jurisprudence and a key moment in the Court's ongoing reevaluation of capital punishment.Technology giants Apple and Meta are currently facing possible penalties under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), but the European Commission has decided not to immediately fine them—even if they don't fully comply by the deadline next week.In April, both companies were fined—€500 million for Apple and €200 million for Meta—and given 60 days (ending 26 June) to align their practices with DMA requirements. Apple was penalized for preventing app developers from directing users to alternatives outside its platform, infringing DMA fairness rules. Meta was fined for its “pay or consent” system, which required users to either pay for an ad-free experience or agree to extensive personal data use; the Commission saw this as limiting user choice.Since November 2024, Meta has offered a new, lower-data personalized advertising model, which remains under Commission review. The current situation involves ongoing dialogue: any future fines will depend on the outcome of that review and will be imposed only after detailed assessments, rather than automatically once the deadline passed.These April fines were deliberately modest—reflecting the short duration of non-compliance and signaling the EU's priority on achieving compliance over punishment, marking a softer approach compared to previous, harsher antitrust actions. The situation also plays into broader economic tensions: EU leaders have threatened digital advertising taxes in response to recent US tariffs, while a US trade report criticized EU digital regulation as a trade barrier.Tech giants Apple and Meta to escape sanctions for failing to meet EU digital rules | EuronewsA U.S. appeals court has temporarily allowed Donald Trump to retain control over California's National Guard, despite a legal challenge from California Governor Gavin Newsom. The decision from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals pauses an earlier ruling by Judge Charles Breyer, who found Trump had unlawfully federalized the Guard without meeting statutory requirements or adequately coordinating with Newsom.The court stated Trump likely acted within his authority and that even if coordination with the governor was insufficient, Newsom lacked the power to override a presidential order. Still, the court left open the possibility of further challenges under laws barring federal troops from engaging in domestic law enforcement. Newsom plans to pursue his challenge, arguing Trump is misusing military force against civilians.The case stems from Trump's deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 U.S. Marines to Los Angeles earlier in June to suppress protests tied to his immigration policies—actions Newsom said infringed on state sovereignty and legal limits on military involvement in civilian matters. The Trump administration argued troops are protecting federal property, not performing law enforcement.During a hearing, the appellate judges examined whether courts can assess a president's decision to federalize troops under a law allowing such moves only during invasion, rebellion, or when civilian enforcement fails. The court found the last condition may have applied, given protest-related violence. However, it rejected the Justice Department's claim that such presidential decisions are beyond judicial review.The Insurrection Act and related federalization authority are central to this case. The Act allows a president to take control of a state's National Guard in limited situations—such as rebellion or when laws can't be enforced by normal means. This case illustrates both the expansive view of executive power and the judiciary's role in checking it, even amid claims of national emergency.US court lets Trump keep control of California National Guard for nowPresident Trump has once again extended the deadline for TikTok to be sold to a U.S. owner, granting a third 90-day reprieve through an executive order despite lacking a clear legal basis for the extensions. The move allows TikTok to continue operating in the U.S. while negotiations persist to transfer ownership from China-based ByteDance to an American entity. The previous extension fell through when China withdrew from talks following Trump's new tariffs.This delay has not yet faced a court challenge, even though the original ban—passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court—briefly took effect in January. Trump's personal popularity on the platform, where he has more than 15 million followers, adds a political twist to the ongoing negotiations. TikTok praised the decision and emphasized its importance to 170 million users and 7.5 million U.S. businesses.Despite concerns from national security officials and lawmakers like Senator Mark Warner, who accuse the administration of ignoring known risks, the repeated extensions suggest a softening of resolve. Analysts describe the situation as a recurring political maneuver with no clear endpoint—likening it to the endless debates over the debt ceiling.Meanwhile, TikTok continues to roll out new features and expand its services, including AI tools debuted in Cannes, signaling confidence in its long-term U.S. presence. Tech giants Apple, Google, and Oracle remain engaged with TikTok, reassured that the administration won't penalize them under current law.Public opinion has shifted, with fewer Americans now supporting a ban compared to 2023. Concerns remain over data privacy, but many citizens are unsure or opposed to banning the app outright.Trump extends TikTok ban deadline for a third time, without clear legal basisThis week's closing theme is by Johann Sebastian Bach. Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the most influential composers in Western music history, composed the Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, in 1741. Originally written for harpsichord, the work consists of an aria followed by 30 variations, returning to the aria at the end in a da capo structure. It was likely commissioned by Count Hermann Karl von Keyserlingk, a Russian diplomat suffering from insomnia, who wanted music to soothe his sleepless nights—though this origin story is debated.The aria, which opens and closes the piece, is a gentle, sarabande-like melody in G major. Unlike other variation sets built on melodies, Bach bases the Goldberg Variations on the aria's bass line and harmonic structure. This allows for extraordinary variety in texture, form, and mood across the variations, while keeping a consistent foundation.The aria itself is simple and elegant, consisting of two balanced halves, each repeated. Its serene tone contrasts with the technical brilliance and contrapuntal complexity found in many of the following variations. Yet, the aria's emotional restraint and clarity set the tone for the entire cycle.Over the centuries, the Goldberg Variations have come to be seen as a pinnacle of keyboard composition. The aria, both opening and closing the work, serves as a kind of spiritual bookend—calm, contemplative, and timeless. Performers often approach it with reverence, as a moment of stillness and symmetry amid musical adventure.Without further ado, Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations, BMV 988 – the aria. Enjoy!

My guest today is Matt Huang, co-founder of Paradigm, a leading crypto investment firm with over $12 billion in assets under management. Before launching Paradigm in 2018 with Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam, Matt was a partner at Sequoia Capital, where he led many of the firm's crypto investments. It's widely reported that Michael Moritz called Matt “the only regrettable loss in Sequoia's history.” In our conversation, Matt shares his framework for navigating the often illegible frontier of crypto, how his early investment in ByteDance (now worth 10,000x his initial capital) shaped his approach to identifying exceptional founders, and why he believes so deeply in crypto's long-term potential. His firm, Paradigm, not only invests in many of the leading companies in the industry, it also builds open-source tools used by most of crypto. Matt has a rare blend of IQ and EQ that allows him to understand technical complexity, bring together unique talents, and ride out crypto's notorious volatility. Whether you're crypto-curious or crypto-skeptical, I think you'll find his perspective valuable. Please enjoy my great conversation with Matt Huang. Matt Huang's Profile in Colossus Review.
