Ho Ho Ho, Alex here! (a real human writing these words, this needs to be said in 2025) Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate) and welcome to the very special yearly ThursdAI recap! This was an intense year in the world of AI, and after 51 weekly episodes (this is episode 52!) we have the ultimate record of all the major and most important AI releases of this year! So instead of bringing you a weekly update (it's been a slow week so far, most AI labs are taking a well deserved break, the Cchinese AI labs haven't yet surprised anyone), I'm dropping a comprehensive yearly AI review! Quarter by quarter, month by month, both in written form and as a pod/video! Why do this? Who even needs this? Isn't most of it obsolete? I have asked myself this exact question while prepping for the show (it was quite a lot of prep, even with Opus's help). I eventually landed on, hey, if nothing else, this will serve as a record of the insane week of AI progress we all witnessed. Can you imagine that the term Vibe Coding is less than 1 year old? That Claude Code was released at the start of THIS year? We get hedonicly adapt to new AI goodies so quick, and I figured this will serve as a point in time check, we can get back to and feel the acceleration! With that, let's dive in - P.S. the content below is mostly authored by my co-author for this, Opus 4.5 high, which at the end of 2025 I find the best creative writer with the best long context coherence that can imitate my voice and tone (hey, I'm also on a break!

Copper - Copper prices topped $12,000 a ton for the first time, extending the metal's recent bull run as mine outages add to concerns about supply. - The threat of US import tariffs on the metal has also been an important factor pushing up prices this year, with copper piling up in American warehouses. - Industry analysts have said that much of the richest and most easily accessible mining resources are now exhausted, and experts are warning that the market is on the cusp of a major deficit. Jim Beam - Bourbon maker Jim Beam is halting production at one of its distilleries in Kentucky for at least a year as the whiskey industry navigates tariffs from the Trump administration and slumping demand for a product that needs years of aging before it is ready. - Jim Beam said the decision to pause bourbon making at its Clermont location in 2026 will give the company time to invest in improvements at the distillery. The bottling and warehouse at the site will remain open, along with the James B. Beam Distilling Co. visitors center and restaurant. - The percentage of U.S. adults who say they consume alcohol has fallen to 54%, the lowest by one percentage point in Gallup's nearly 90-year trend.

TikTok de America își schimbă proprietarul. La sfârșitul săptămânii trecute, acționarul chinez al rețelei sociale a semnat un acord pentru cedarea controlului asupra companiei care activează în Statele Unite. Noii proprietari americani vor fi, printre alte companii, gigantul Oracle și fondul Silver Lake, iar tranzacția se va semna efectiv la sfârșitul lunii ianuarie 2026. De fapt, acționarii chinezi ai TikTok au fost puși în America în fața unei situații fără ieșire și fără precedent. Adică, fie vindeau firma, fie rețeaua socială ar fi fost interzisă. Chinezii de la TikTok au preferat prima variantă. Povestea a început în primăvara anului trecut, atunci când Camera Reprezentanților și apoi Senatul au adoptat o lege care cerea exact ce se întâmplă astăzi, adică TikTok ori devine o companie cu acționariat majoritar american, ori i se interzice accesul în toate magazinele de aplicații din SUA. Legea a fost votată și de democrați și de republicani, iar argumentele au fost acelea că Beijingul are posibilitatea, prin intermediul aplicației, atât să colecteze date despre populație, cât și să influențeze opinia publică americană. Temerea oficialilor americani a fost că rețeaua TikTok poate oferi date despre cei 170 milioane de utilizatori din SUA care au cont pe rețeaua socială, chiar dacă firma-mamă chineză, ByteDance, a negat că ar transmite informații despre utilizatori, de fiecare dată când a fost acuzată. Săptămâna trecută s-a semnat acordul care schimbă complet acționariatul companiei care administrează TikTok în SUA, în așa fel încât noii proprietari majoritari să respecte legislația americană referitoare la cedarea activelor străine. Astfel, compania chineză ByteDance păstrează în noua companie doar 19,9%, sub pragul strategic de 20%. Controlul efectiv al companiei, din punctul de vedere al procentajului de acțiuni deținute, se mută către un consorțiu de investitori care va avea un pachet de 45%. Din consorțiu fac parte trei agenți economici, fiecare având câte 15%, respectiv Oracle, fondul de investiții Silver Lake și fondul suveran din Abu Dhabi, Emiratele Arabe Unite, specializat în inteligență artificială, numit MGX. Restul acțiunilor rămâne în posesia investitorilor istorici în compania chineză ByteDance, printre care se află și două fonduri de investiții americane. După cum se poate vedea noua companie va avea o structură a acționariatului destul de diversă, dar Oracle depășește rolul de investitor financiar și va fi un „partener de securitate și încredere”. În această calitate, compania americană va găzdui pe serverele sale datele a 170 milioane de utilizatori americani de TikTok. De asemenea, un obiectiv important al noii companii va fi modificarea algoritmului de lucru. Pentru a risipi suspiciunile de manipulare chineză, motorul de recomandări va fi complet „reantrenat” în cadrul infrastructurii Oracle. Acest proces se va baza exclusiv pe datele colectate în SUA și va garanta izolarea completă de influențele companiei-mamă din China. Firma americană va avea o autonomie totală față de acționarul chinez. Consiliul de administrație al companiei va fi format din șapte membri, în majoritate fiind cetățeni americani, iar ByteDance își va mai păstra doar un singur loc în consiliu, fapt care arată încă o dată că firma chineză va fi marginalizată și va pierde controlul asupra noii companii din SUA. Moderarea conținutului, securitatea soft-ului, protecția datelor vor fi atributele firmei americane care va garanta că deciziile editoriale și tehnice respectă standardele și legislația SUA. Președintele american Donald Trump a oscilat față de TikTok. A fost un critic vehement în anul 2020, dar un susținător în campania din 2024. În cele din urmă, a fost găsită soluția preluării companiei în SUA. Singura consolare a ByteDance este poate aceea că reușește să rămână, chiar și acționar minoritar, pe o piață estimată la 14 miliarde de dolari.

Oracle ya controla la versión americana de TikTok mientras ByteDance se queda con el negocio en el resto del mundo. No es una venta real sino un montaje legal que anticipa cómo será Internet: fragmentado por regiones.Loop Infinito, podcast de Xataka, de lunes a viernes a las 7.00 h (hora española peninsular).

Asia-Pacific markets kick off the week on a strong footing - and beneath the surface, capital is quietly rotating, power is concentrating, and old franchises are finding new life. In today’s Market View, we unpack Keppel REIT’s move beyond offices into retail, and whether investors are warming to that diversification even as Singapore offices remain core. We look stateside as Wall Street ends the week mixed, with Bank of America flagging Estée Lauder, UBS, and Bruker as 2026 plays - from consumer brands to precision instruments. It’s UP or DOWN time with Oracle stepping deeper into TikTok’s US future, ByteDance eyeing a staggering US$50 billion profit year, and Elon Musk securing a record-breaking Tesla pay package - which gets a DOWN for governance optics. We also touch on Sony’s US$450 million bet on the Peanuts franchise, why Snoopy still matters at 75, and what ValueMax’s legal tussle means for investor sentiment. All that plus a holiday-shortened week ahead, the Straits Times Index check-in, and a cinematic Last Word from Pandora as Avatar: Fire and Ash hits the global box office - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Il aura fallu plus de cinq ans de tensions politiques et de négociations feutrées pour que TikTok parvienne à se débarrasser de son handicap originel aux États-Unis : ses racines chinoises. Sous la menace persistante d'une interdiction pure et simple, sa maison mère, ByteDance, a finalement signé, le 18 décembre 2025, un accord décisif avec l'administration américaine. Objectif : rester sur le sol américain en se pliant aux exigences de sécurité nationale portées par Donald Trump.La solution trouvée passe par la création d'une nouvelle entité indépendante : TikTok USDS Joint Venture. Cette coentreprise américaine pilotera désormais les données, l'algorithme et la modération de la plateforme aux États-Unis. Plusieurs acteurs entrent au capital à hauteur de 15 % chacun, dont Oracle, le fonds américain Silver Lake et l'investisseur émirati MGX. ByteDance, de son côté, voit sa participation réduite à 19,9 %, tandis que 30,1 % restent entre les mains d'investisseurs historiques, parmi lesquels Fidelity et General Atlantic.Un nouveau conseil d'administration, composé de sept membres à majorité américaine, doit être mis en place. Selon une note interne consultée par l'Associated Press, sa mission est claire : « protéger les données des Américains et la sécurité nationale des États-Unis ». TikTok conservera néanmoins le contrôle de l'essentiel de ses activités commerciales sur le territoire. La transaction doit être finalisée le 22 janvier 2026, soit la veille de la date à laquelle l'interdiction de TikTok aurait dû entrer en vigueur. Sur le fond, Washington reprochait à TikTok deux points majeurs : l'hébergement potentiel des données d'utilisateurs américains hors du pays et la puissance de son algorithme, soupçonné de pouvoir servir d'outil d'influence à Pékin. Désormais, les données seront stockées localement via Oracle. TikTok reconnaît que des employés basés en Chine y ont eu accès par le passé, tout en affirmant qu'aucune information n'a jamais été transmise aux autorités chinoises.Cet accord met fin à un feuilleton entamé dès 2020, lorsque Donald Trump avait tenté, sans succès, de bannir l'application lors de son premier mandat. En 2024, le Congrès, dans un rare consensus bipartisan, avait adopté une loi signée par Joe Biden, imposant la vente ou la suspension des applications contrôlées par des adversaires étrangers. Une échéance repoussée à quatre reprises depuis janvier 2025, le temps de négocier. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

CEO David Zaslav to request that Zaslav meet with his father, Larry Ellison. The conventional wisdom was that the Oracle cofounder's billions would prevail. In the end, that didn't happen. WBD expressed concern that the bid relied on a revocable trust, whose assets or liabilities were subject to change.A zealous Paramount pulled out all the stops to woo ZaslavWe already knew Zaslav stood to make over $500 million from a Paramount deal, based mainly on his shares that would vest immediately after it closed ($567,712,631, to be exact, according to the filing). Zaslav told the WBD board that the Ellisons had "indicated to him that" if a deal went through, he would "receive a compensation package worth several hundred million dollars," per the filing. Zaslav responded that it "would be inappropriate to discuss any such arrangements at that time," he told the board.Paramount also offered Zaslav the position of co-CEO and co-chairman of the combined company, a role Netflix didn't offer, the filing said.That runs contrary to the narrative put forth in a letter Paramount's attorneys at Quinn Emanuel sent to WBD, stating they suspected the process was biased in favor of Netflix due to WBD leadership's expectations that there could be roles for them at the new company. Paramount's legal and financial advisors didn't know about the "December 3 Quinn Emanuel" letter and, in their view, the letter should not have been sent, was "not helpful," and was a "mistake," the filing says.TikTok signs agreement to create new U.S. joint ventureTikTok has signed binding agreements with investors including Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX for the sale of its US arm, creating a joint venture as part of a deal orchestrated by President Donald Trump.The U.S. joint venture will be 50% held by a consortium of new investors, including Larry Ellison's Oracle, Silver Lake and Abu Dhabi's MGX, with 15% each.

Earle, Ph.D, Director of Economics and Economic Freedom and Senior Research Fellow at American Institute for Economic Research DRStop Fixating on CEO Pay Ratios and Start Fixing Labor Markets“The average employee is hired under conditions of broad substitutability — many people can competently perform the role with modest training. The CEO labor market is the opposite: extremely small, specialized, global, and contingent on track records that can shift a firm's valuation by billions of dollars. The demand curve for top executive talent is steep; the supply curve is extraordinarily thin.”“Skilled executives can influence strategy, capital allocation, risk management, and organizational culture in ways that affect firm performance far more than incremental labor inputs elsewhere in the organization, even if the latter are voluminous. If a CEO's decisions add even a few percentage points to long-term returns, the economic value created dwarfs the compensation.”Translation: CEOs are worth it, regular workers are not. “Such a ratio also ignores value creation. [...] The relevant question is not “Is the ratio of worker to executive pay too large?” but rather “Does the CEO create more value than their talent costs?”Does not propose how to prove value creation of the CEO other than “stock go up”Earle had this to say about leadership in 2019: “teams (also companies, organizations, groups, and so on) which experience outstanding success inevitably cite leadership as a factor — often the decisive one, and frequently emanating from a particular individual.”“But it should come as no surprise that many successful sports teams, firms, and organizations readily identify leadership as the decisive factor in their triumphs. It's a better story than merely having incredible resources and facilities, superior performance, or as is often the case: simple, garden-variety luck.”Headliniest of the WeekDR: Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary plans to step down by 2035 & Chipotle chases the protein craze with new menu items — including meat in a cupMM: LinkedIn CEO says it's ‘outdated' to have a five-year career plan: It's a ‘little bit foolish' considering the pace AI is changing the workplaceWho Won the Week?DR: Powerful women at BPMM: 4 year career plansPredictionsDR: David Ellison cancels his Netflix subscription then hires Erika Kirk to run programming at Nickelodeon and MTVMM: Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary steps down in 2035 and become executive chair, pledging to step down as executive chair in 2057.

TikTok's long-delayed plan to separate from Chinese parent ByteDance Ltd. was put in motion Thursday when the video sharing sensation said it's being bought by a group of buyers led by Oracle Corp. TikTok Chief Executive Officer Shou Chew told employees that the company and ByteDance signed binding agreements to create a US joint venture majority-owned by American investors, according to an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg. Chew wrote that he was "pleased to share some great news" and said agreements with Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX have been signed. The deal is expected to close on Jan. 22, 2026, though Chew added that "there's more work to be done" before then. Asian equities rose after cooling US inflation data backed the case for Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts and calming tech jitters supported American stocks.

En el Radar Empresarial de esta jornada ponemos el foco en lo que todo apunta a ser el capítulo final del proceso de venta del negocio de TikTok en Estados Unidos. ByteDance ha optado por constituir una empresa conjunta en la que traspasará el 50 % del capital a inversores extranjeros. Entre los nuevos socios figuran el fondo soberano de Abu Dabi, la firma Silver Lake y la tecnológica Oracle, que en conjunto controlarán una parte relevante de la nueva sociedad. Según los detalles del acuerdo, un 30 % de las acciones quedará en manos de afiliados de los actuales inversores de ByteDance, mientras que la matriz china mantendrá un 19,9 %. De acuerdo con un memorando interno firmado por el consejero delegado de TikTok, Shou Zi Chew, y citado por Associated Press, la operación se cerrará el próximo 22 de enero. Las condiciones pactadas parecen alinearse con las exigencias planteadas por la Casa Blanca desde el inicio del conflicto. Por un lado, la compañía ha respetado los plazos fijados por la Administración estadounidense, que tras varias extensiones había establecido enero de 2026 como fecha límite para la desinversión. Por otro, se refuerza el control no chino sobre la empresa. La nueva joint venture contará con un consejo de administración de siete miembros, con mayoría estadounidense, y se prevé una revisión del algoritmo para asegurar que el contenido no esté sujeto a influencias externas. Oracle, además, asumirá un papel operativo más profundo que el de un simple accionista. Con esta venta se cierra un proceso iniciado durante el mandato de Joe Biden, quien mantuvo una postura firme frente a TikTok y advirtió que la plataforma dejaría de operar en enero de 2025 si no se desprendía de su negocio en el país. La situación cambió con la llegada de Donald Trump a la Casa Blanca, que concedió una prórroga para facilitar la continuidad de la red social mientras buscaba comprador, una decisión que fue públicamente agradecida por Shou Zi Chew.

De overname van het Amerikaanse deel van TikTok is vrijwel rond. Niet via het Witte Huis, maar via een interne memo van TikTok-ceo Shou Zi Chew werd duidelijk dat moederbedrijf ByteDance akkoord is met een Amerikaanse eigendomsconstructie. De deal moet uiterlijk 22 januari worden afgerond, vlak voordat het decreet van president Trump afloopt waarmee een verbod op TikTok al meerdere keren werd uitgesteld. Techredacteur Stijn Goossens vertelt in de Tech Update wat dit voor gebruikers betekent. De nieuwe eigenaar wordt een Amerikaanse joint venture: TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC. Daarin nemen onder meer techbedrijf Oracle, investeerder Silver Lake en het Abu Dhabi-fonds MGX elk een belang van 15 procent. Samen komen zij uit op 45 procent, aangevuld tot 50 procent met andere Amerikaanse investeerders. Bestaande ByteDance-investeerders behouden iets meer dan 30 procent, terwijl het Chinese ByteDance zelf net geen 20 procent houdt. Met deze constructie voldoet TikTok aan de Amerikaanse wet die een verkoop van het platform afdwong. Voor gebruikers moet er volgens TikTok weinig veranderen. ByteDance blijft betrokken bij de interoperabiliteit met de rest van het platform en advertentie-inkomsten, terwijl een onafhankelijke organisatie binnen de joint venture verantwoordelijk wordt voor contentmoderatie en databeveiliging volgens Amerikaanse regels. Wel wordt het Amerikaanse algoritme voortaan uitsluitend getraind met data van Amerikaanse gebruikers. Opvallend is dat Trump nog niet publiekelijk heeft gereageerd. De deal is formeel nog niet afgerond, maar het akkoord van ByteDance geldt als een belangrijke doorbraak in een dossier dat al bijna een jaar boven de markt hangt. Verder in deze Tech Update: OpenAI en Anthropic voorspellen leeftijd gebruikersOpenAI en Anthropic gaan met AI de leeftijd van gebruikers inschatten, zodat chatbots hun toon en inhoud beter kunnen aanpassen aan gesprekken met tieners. De stap volgt op toenemende maatschappelijke en juridische druk op AI-bedrijven om rekening te houden met mentale gezondheid, waarbij OpenAI nu expliciet vastlegt dat de veiligheid van jongeren zwaarder weegt dan andere doelen van de chatbot. AI-snoepautomaat van Anthropic gehacktAnthropic liep flinke financiele schade op bij een experiment met een door AI aangestuurde snoepautomaat, die als stresstest op de redactie van The Wall Street Journal stond. Journalisten wisten het systeem te manipuleren, maakten alle producten gratis en lieten de AI zelfs meebetalen aan luxe aankopen, waardoor het project met duizend euro verlies eindigde.

Fast ein Jahr nach der eigentlichen Deadline zeichnet sich eine Lösung im Konflikt zwischen Bytedance und der US-Regierung ab.

TikTok’s future in the US has been hanging by a thread, caught between national security concerns, political battles, and calls for divestment. Now, ByteDance has unveiled a plan: a US-based joint venture with American and global investors, keeping only a minority stake for itself. Oracle will oversee data security, and TikTok says the new structure will operate independently. But does this deal really address the underlying security and governance concerns? Can TikTok stay under US oversight without compromise and what does it mean for the millions of Americans using the app every day? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Cedomir Nestorovic, Professor of Geopolitics at ESSEC Business School, Asia-Pacific, to find out what this deal could mean for TikTok, its users, and the broader US-China tech landscape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ça y est, l'Australie a interdit les réseaux sociaux aux moins de 16 ans. Mais les jeunes rusent...Avec Bruno Guglielminetti (https://moncarnet.com/)L'Australie tente de bannir les jeunes des réseaux, mais...Depuis cette semaine, les jeunes Australiens de moins de 16 ans sont censés être exclus des réseaux sociaux. Une nouvelle loi impose aux plateformes de supprimer leurs comptes. Problème : seuls dix réseaux sont concernés par le texte. Résultat, les adolescents migrent en masse vers des applications comme Lemon8, Yoop ou Coverstar, qui échappent (pour l'instant) à la régulation. Lemon8, appartenant à ByteDance (maison mère de TikTok), est même devenue l'appli la plus téléchargée du pays en un jour. Le gouvernement promet d'adapter la loi, mais la réactivité des jeunes dépasse celle des législateurs.États-Unis : les visiteurs bientôt obligés de livrer 5 ans de vie numérique ?Un décret américain prévoit d'imposer à tout visiteur étranger de fournir un historique de cinq ans de ses activités numériques (réseaux sociaux, publications publiques).

Het verbod op TikTok in de Verenigde Staten wordt dinsdag waarschijnlijk opnieuw uitgesteld door president Donald Trump. De bedoeling is dat de Amerikaanse tak van de filmpjesapp in Amerikaanse handen komt, maar één van de potentiële kopers laat aan de BBC weten dat het Witte Huis nog niks heeft laten weten. Het zou de vijfde keer zijn dat het verbod wordt uitgesteld sinds de oorspronkelijke verbodswet van kracht is geworden, op 19 januari dit jaar. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De potentiële koper waar het om gaat is de Amerikaanse miljardair Frank McCourt, die samen met een aantal andere techinvesteerders geïnteresseerd is in een overname van TikTok. 'We wachten gewoon en zien wel wat er gebeurt', zegt McCourt tegen de BBC. 'We hebben het geld opgehaald om het te kopen.' Trump meldde in september dat er een deal was bereikt rondom de verkoop van de Amerikaanse tak van TikTok, maar sinds die aankondiging hebben zowel Trump als de betrokken partijen bij de deal niks meer van zich laten horen. Bovendien hebben TikTok-eigenaar ByteDance en de Chinese overheid de aankondiging van Trump nooit volledig bevestigd. Verder in deze Tech Update: Hoewel we in principe allemaal met onze mobiele telefoon kunnen betalen, kiezen we alsnog het vaakst voor de 'ouderwetse' pinpas in Nederland, blijkt uit onderzoek van Visa See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Yuyu Zhang to unpack a shift that many developers can feel but struggle to articulate. Yuyu's journey spans academic research at Georgia Tech, building recommendation systems that power TikTok and Douyin at global scale, and leading the Seed-Coder project at ByteDance, which reached state-of-the-art performance among open source code models earlier this year. Today, he is part of Codeck, where the focus has moved beyond AI assistance toward autonomous coding agents that can plan, execute, and verify real engineering work. Our conversation begins with a simple but revealing observation. Most AI coding tools still behave like smarter autocomplete. They help you type faster, but they do not own the work. Yuyu explains why that distinction matters, especially for teams dealing with complex systems, tight deadlines, and constant interruptions. Autonomy, in his view, is not about replacing engineers. It is about giving them back their flow. We explore Verdent, Codeck's autonomous coding agent, and Verdent Deck, the desktop environment designed to coordinate multiple agents in parallel. Instead of one AI reacting line by line inside an editor, these agents operate at the task level. They plan work with the developer upfront, execute independently in safe environments, and validate their output before handing anything back. The result feels less like using a tool and more like managing a small engineering team. Yuyu shares how parallel agents change both speed and predictability. One agent can implement a feature, another can write tests, and another can investigate logs, all without stepping on each other. Just as important, he walks through the safeguards that keep humans in control. Explicit planning, permission boundaries, sandboxed execution, and clear, reviewable diffs are all designed to address the very real concerns engineering leaders have about letting autonomous systems near production code. The discussion also turns personal. Having worked on some of the highest-scale systems in the world, Yuyu reflects on why developers lose momentum. It is rarely about raw ability. It is about constant context switching. His goal with Verdent is to preserve mental focus by offloading interruptions and letting engineers return to work with clarity rather than cognitive fatigue. We close by looking ahead. The definition of a "good developer" is changing, just as it has many times before. AI is not ending programming. It is reshaping it, pushing human creativity, judgment, and design thinking to the foreground while machines handle the repetitive churn. If autonomous coding agents are becoming colleagues rather than helpers, how comfortable are you with that future, and what would you want to stay firmly in human hands?

This week on Unsupervised Learning, Jacob Effron is joined by Jordan Schneider, host of China Talk, who challenges widespread assumptions about US-China AI competition. China's AI development is driven by private capital and market competition—not central government planning—with companies like DeepSeek, Alibaba, and ByteDance operating more like Silicon Valley startups than state projects. The critical bottleneck is compute: the West maintains a 10-15x advantage in advanced chips, and US export controls implemented one month before ChatGPT created a structural edge favoring America for years. Chinese companies aggressively open-source models from strategic necessity—they couldn't establish a quality gap justifying paid access like OpenAI. Jordan explains why the "Goldilocks strategy" of controlled chip dependency fails, why expert consensus opposes selling advanced semiconductors to China despite Nvidia's lobbying, and how Taiwan's invasion risk is driven more by domestic politics than AGI scenarios. China's real advantage may emerge in robotics manufacturing at scale, where they're already deploying while the US debates strategy. Inside the Politburo's AI Study Session: https://www.chinatalk.media/p/xi-takes-an-ai-masterclassSubmit your questions to Jacob here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1vHBYv0bTT_EgFWTjbKnLr_sn3pZnFmcFGWYVTltKEco/edit (0:00) Intro(1:45) The Chinese AI Ecosystem: Pre and Post ChatGPT(3:45) Government Influence and Private Sector Dynamics(6:40) Venture Funding and Major Players(8:36) Talent and International Collaboration(11:25) Open Source Models and Market Dynamics(15:24) What Role Does The Chinese Government Play?(31:17) US-China AI Policy and Strategic Competition(36:18) The Argument for Selling AI Accelerators(37:02) Risks of Not Selling to China(43:34) Technological Constraints and Huawei's Challenges(51:18) US-China Relations and Taiwan(1:02:46) Quickfire With your co-hosts: @jacobeffron - Partner at Redpoint, Former PM Flatiron Health @patrickachase - Partner at Redpoint, Former ML Engineer LinkedIn @ericabrescia - Former COO Github, Founder Bitnami (acq'd by VMWare) @jordan_segall - Partner at Redpoint

This week in games, the money moves got messy: Dream Games recalibrates its ambitions, ByteDance keeps loading the mobile war chest, and Arc Games chooses freedom (and spreadsheets) by going independent. We take a look at Where Winds Meet and what it really says about China's next wave of global ambitions, unpack South Korea's newest Blizzard play, and ask the uncomfortable question: how are indie studios actually surviving right now? Spoiler: it's not pretty. On the investor side, VC interest in games keeps cooling, but PlayerUnknown Productions thinks lightning can strike twice. Finally, we zoom out to the battlefield of 4X strategy — the genre's current health, the growing wave of female players, and whether a fresh face like Tile Survive can rewrite the rules. 00:00 Welcome00:22 Introduction and Shills04:26 Dream Games Budget Correction14:06 Bite Dance's Mobile Investments19:22 Arc Games Independence20:52 Where Winds Meet: A New Chinese Game29:17 The South Korea Deal and Blizzard's Business Model31:21 Success and Challenges of Indie Game Studios33:38 VC Investments in Gaming: A Tough Landscape36:12 PlayerUnknown Productions and Their New Game47:37 The State of 4X Strategy Games51:24 The Rise of Female Gamers in 4X Strategy55:48 Tile Survive: A New Contender in 4X Strategy59:56 Conclusion and Future Topics

It's been almost a year since that January TikTok ban was supposed to happen. Curious where things stand now? We've got you covered.Here's the background starting in June of this year:In June, Trump once again delayed the TikTok ban deadline — giving it another 3-month extension, which meant TikTok should have been banned in September unless the app was sold by its Chinese owners. This marked the third time he chose not to enforce the ban, even though both political parties in Congress had agreed it was important for national security. Lawmakers once said TikTok was a huge national security threat and even passed a law forcing ByteDance to sell the app or get banned in the U.S. Today, as of November 2025, almost a year after the deadline, TikTok is still here — mostly because the Trump administration keeps extending the timeline and slowing down the process.Most of the politicians who pushed for the ban are now staying quiet. Only one responded, saying Congress still hasn't been told how Trump's proposed deal would actually protect Americans.Trump's deal basically spins TikTok's U.S. operations into a new company, but ByteDance would still own part of it and the U.S. version would license TikTok's algorithm from China — which may not even meet the requirements of the law.China might not approve the sale anyway, so the whole thing is still unclear.Overall, Congress made a huge deal about banning TikTok, but now that Trump is delaying it, they aren't pushing back — and the final deal may not actually cut TikTok off from China the way the law intended.You can count on the Sircle team to keep you updated on where TikTok continues to stand.

My guest today is Dan Wang. Dan is a technology analyst and author who spent six years living in China studying its manufacturing ecosystem and tech development, best known for his new book Breakneck. Dan offers the most nuanced framework I've encountered for understanding US-China competition.  We explore a critical asymmetry: it's far harder for the US to rebuild manufacturing capacity than for China to improve scientific research, with profound implications for AI, national security, and investment returns. For investors, Dan explains the "ByteDance problem"—why exceptional Chinese companies trade at massive discounts due to Communist Party unpredictability and geopolitical risks. He argues China is a "high agency" society that executes relentlessly while America deliberates endlessly, yet also reveals the societal cost. We discuss innovation, state capacity, and investing across both superpowers. Please enjoy my conversation with Dan Wang.
