In honor of the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony, we're spotlighting a series of radio detective show stars who took home Oscars for their film work. First up is Frank Sinatra, who's best known for his singing but who showed off his dramatic chops in From Here to Eternity and took home the prize. We'll hear him as Rocky Fortune in four episodes of his short-lived radio mystery series: "Double Identity" (originally aired on NBC on October 13, 1953); "A Hepcat Killed the Canary" (originally aired on NBC on November 17, 1953); "Murder Among the Statues" (originally aired on NBC on December 1, 1953); and "Boarding House Doublecross" (originally aired on NBC on March 30, 1954).

2026 has seen US tech giants throwing enough capex at AI infrastructure to fund a small country. Amazon has guided capex that is roughly half of South Africa's entire GDP! But with fracture lines appearing in the AI landscape, is the ROI really justifiable? And if not, will Big Tech even feel it, or will someone else be left to foot the bill? In this episode of Magic Markets, The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla explore the dangerous games that giants like Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft are playing, exhausting their free cash flow on data centres and AI projects with a potential half-life of an overripe avocado. Alphabet is borrowing money from a hundred years down the line. Is that the sign of the top? And if not, then what is? Today's Topics: A reminder of the US railroad bubble and how AI stacks up in comparison The market is punishing Microsoft and Amazon for deteriorating free cash flow margins The disruption to the valuation of the SaaS giants like Adobe and Salesforce Free cash flow margins across various Big Tech names and how this has changed over time Are the hyperscalers too big to fail, or could things go that badly?

Ralph welcomes, Robert Weissman co-president of Public Citizen, to discuss his Senate testimony about the many ways the Trump Administration's assault on fraud is itself fraudulent. Plus, Ralph informs us of a report from Aljazeera about the MK-84 weapon the IDF is using in Gaza that is designed to generate so much heat it literally vaporizes people.Robert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency, to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the president of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations and the wealthy have over our democracy.Every American should be worried about fraud. So it's fine for the committee to be talking about fraud, but it should be based on actual facts and what's actually happening, which is not what's going on with this focus on Minnesota… And without a doubt, if the concern is about fraud in the public or the private economy right now, the number one problem with fraud is the Trump administration.Robert WeissmanThanks to the Supreme Court decision on Presidential immunity, Trump believes (correctly) that he will not be held criminally accountable for anything that he does while he's President. And that is true so long as that Supreme Court decision stands. And I think it's fair to say that basically everyone who's working for him right now—who I think are committing all kinds of crimes, including through the sale of pardons and through the outrageous use of ICE in Minnesota and around the country—I think they expect they're going to get pardoned before he goes. So I think they think they too will be (and they're probably not wrong in expecting it) that they too will be immune from criminal prosecution (at least federal criminal prosecution) for any crimes they commit while they're in the administration.Robert WeissmanIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 2/13/26* Our top stories this week concern the Jeffrey Epstein case. According to POLITICO, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who, along with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has led the charge to release the Epstein files, “took to the House floor Tuesday and read aloud the names of six ‘wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted,” in the files. These names include billionaire Victoria's Secret owner Leslie Wexner, Emirati shipping magnate Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and Italian politician Nicola Caputo, among other more mysterious figures like Salvatore Nuara and Leonic Leonov. Khanna used congressional representatives' unique power under the speech and debate clause to make these names public, after combing through the files personally along with Rep. Massie. Khanna added “if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3 million files.”* Speaking of hiding names in the files, Axios reports that Representative Jamie Raskin stated that “when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files… it came up ‘more than a million times.'” The implication of this statement is clear: Trump's cronies in the Justice Department are covering up the extent of Trump's relationship and involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. Another member of the administration, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, admitted under Senate questioning that he had lunch with Epstein on his island, along with his family, claiming he “could not recall” why they did. The administration is allowing members of Congress to view the unredacted files within certain hours via a database they describe as confusing, unreliable, and clunky.* Another surprising revelation from the files is that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries apparently solicited campaign donations from Epstein back in 2013. According to MSN, Epstein received a campaign solicitation via email from a fundraising firm touting Jeffries as “one of the rising stars in the New York Congressional delegation,” and offering Epstein “an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better.” Jeffries denies having any knowledge of this firm's outreach to Epstein and decried House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer's implication that he had any relationship with the late sexual predator and financier, calling Comer a “stone cold liar” and a “malignant clown.”* In non-Epstein related news from Capitol Hill, last week lawmakers held a hearing to probe the operations of autonomous taxi service Waymo. While Republicans chose to focus on Waymo's supposed ties to Chinese companies, Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts grilled the chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, on the company's reliance on workers abroad for key safety decisions. Peña admitted that while some operators are located in the US, others – who step in when robotaxis encounter “unusual situations” – work remotely from the Philippines. Markey called this “completely unacceptable,” emphasizing that these workers may need to react “in a split second” during dangerous scenarios. Waymo is just the latest company marketing its services as high tech and autonomous, but later revealed to be reliant on cheap foreign labor. This from Business Insider.* ICE lawlessness continues to roil Congress. Many Democrats are now sounding the alarm that Trump's immigration police – masked, armed, accountable directly to him and backed to the hilt by the administration – could be used as a tool to suppress voter turnout by conducting raids at or near polling locations, thereby scaring citizens into staying home. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said “Trump is trying to create a pretext to rig the election.” Murphy, along with some Senate Democratic allies, pushed leadership to demand that ICE be banned from polling sites as a condition of government shutdown negotiations, but leadership balked, per POLITICO. While such a scenario can sound far-fetched, Trump has “falsely and repeatedly claimed for more than a decade that millions of illegal immigrants vote in the U.S., arguing that was one factor in his 2020 loss,” and, just before the 2020 election, he pledged to send “sheriffs” and “law enforcement” to polling places.* Drop Site News' Jacqueline Sweet reports 70 organizations, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Unitarian, as well as civil rights, academic, legal, peace, and human rights groups, submitted a formal request to the National Security Division of the Justice Department seeking a “Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) investigation into Canary Mission.” Canary Mission is a shadowy, infamous group that tracks pro-Palestine activity on college campuses. In 2018, they appeared at the George Washington University wearing spooky masks in an attempt to intimidate the student government into voting down a BDS resolution. They failed. This latest letter comes on the heels of a Drop Site story from January that “showed among other things that Canary is operated in Israel by a large Israeli team.” As the letter notes, the Foreign Agent Registration Act “exists precisely to address this type of potential activity carried out in the United States for the benefit of a foreign country.”* In more news regarding pro-Palestine activism, last week, six defendants linked to Palestine Action, a direct action protest group in the United Kingdom, were acquitted of aggravated burglary in connection with an alleged break in at Elbit Systems, a defense firm with close ties to the Israeli military, in August 2024. The persecution of Palestine Action has gone far beyond normal law enforcement. Some activists have been in pre-trial detention for over 500 days, more than double the maximum limit set by the Crown Prosecution Service. The case of the Palestine Action protestors has drawn outcry from international human rights groups, including the United Nations and Human Rights Watch. As HRW notes, in July of last year, the British government declared Palestine Action a terrorist organization and have now detained over 2,700 protestors over infractions as minor as holding a sign reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” As of now, over 20 activists are still in detention awaiting trial, many beyond the legal limits, and the six acquitted activists may face retrial. But for now, the group has scored a major victory in the face of overwhelming odds.* Turning back to domestic news, New York Governor Kathy Hochul appears to have pulled off a fait accompli in her reelection campaign. Last year, former Representative Elise Stefanik dropped her bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination and sitting Rep. Mike Lawler declined to run. Now, Hochul's main primary opponent – Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado – has dropped his bid after Hochul secured the endorsements of New York City Mayor and political superstar Zohran Mamdani as well as the entirety of the New York Democratic congressional delegation. This from the New York Times. This is a stunning political feat for a Governor who won the narrowest gubernatorial election in the state since 1994 when she was last up in 2022. It now seems that Hochul will square off against Bruce Blakeman, the Trump-endorsed Republican executive of Nassau County in November.* Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the dynamic of the Mayoral race was upended this week by the last-minute decision of Councilmember Nithya Raman to throw her hat into the ring against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Raman, an urban planner by trade, chairs the Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee and has “built her political identity around tenant protections, homelessness policy and efforts to accelerate housing production,” per the Los Angeles Daily News. Raman was the first of several Councilmembers elected with DSA support and she has maintained a strong relationship with the local branch despite tensions with the national organization, primarily over Israel/Palestine issues. Bass, who won a narrow election against billionaire developer Rick Caruso in 2022, has faced harsh criticism over her handling of the devastating fires in 2025 and her inability to make significant progress on the city's homelessness crisis. However, Bass maintains the support of much of the city's Democratic establishment, including the unions and much of the City Council and Raman's late entry will make it difficult for her to consolidate majority support across the sprawling western metropolis.* Finally, in a David-and-Goliath tale, we turn to TJ Sabula, the UAW Local 600 Ford factory line worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector.” Infamously, the president retorted by giving Sabula the finger and mouthing, “F--- you.” Ironically, Trump also trotted out his iconic catchphrase “You're fired.” Well, Sabula was not fired – and in fact “has no discipline on his record,” – because he was protected by his union, per the Detroit News. In a recent address, UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson said “TJ, we got your back,” adding “In that moment, we saw what the president really thinks about working people…As UAW members, we speak truth to power. We don't just protect rights, we exercise them.” UAW President Shawn Fain, who has emerged as a firebrand leader of the revitalized labor movement, commented “That's a union brother who spoke up…He put his constitutional rights to work. He put his union rights to work.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
Hey dear subscriber, Alex here from W&B, let me catch you up! This week started with Anthropic releasing /fast mode for Opus 4.6, continued with ByteDance reality-shattering video model called SeeDance 2.0, and then the open weights folks pulled up! Z.ai releasing GLM-5, a 744B top ranking coder beast, and then today MiniMax dropping a heavily RL'd MiniMax M2.5, showing 80.2% on SWE-bench, nearly beating Opus 4.6! I've interviewed Lou from Z.AI and Olive from MiniMax on the show today back to back btw, very interesting conversations, starting after TL;DR!So while the OpenSource models were catching up to frontier, OpenAI and Google both dropped breaking news (again, during the show), with Gemini 3 Deep Think shattering the ArcAGI 2 (84.6%) and Humanity's Last Exam (48% w/o tools)... Just an absolute beast of a model update, and OpenAI launched their Cerebras collaboration, with GPT 5.3 Codex Spark, supposedly running at over 1000 tokens per second (but not as smart) Also, crazy week for us at W&B as we scrambled to host GLM-5 at day of release, and are working on dropping Kimi K2.5 and MiniMax both on our inference service! As always, all show notes in the end, let's DIVE IN! ThursdAI - AI is speeding up, don't get left behind! Sub and I'll keep you up to date with a weekly catch upOpen Source LLMsZ.ai launches GLM-5 - #1 open-weights coder with 744B parameters (X, HF, W&B inference)The breakaway open-source model of the week is undeniably GLM-5 from Z.ai (formerly known to many of us as Zhipu AI). We were honored to have Lou, the Head of DevRel at Z.ai, join us live on the show at 1:00 AM Shanghai time to break down this monster of a release.GLM-5 is massive, not something you run at home (hey, that's what W&B inference is for!) but it's absolutely a model that's worth thinking about if your company has on prem requirements and can't share code with OpenAI or Anthropic. They jumped from 355B in GLM4.5 and expanded their pre-training data to a whopping 28.5T tokens to get these results. But Lou explained that it's not only about data, they adopted DeepSeeks sparse attention (DSA) to help preserve deep reasoning over long contexts (this one has 200K)Lou summed up the generational leap from version 4.5 to 5 perfectly in four words: “Bigger, faster, better, and cheaper.” I dunno about faster, this may be one of those models that you hand off more difficult tasks to, but definitely cheaper, with $1 input/$3.20 output per 1M tokens on W&B! While the evaluations are ongoing, the one interesting tid-bit from Artificial Analysis was, this model scores the lowest on their hallucination rate bench! Think about this for a second, this model is neck-in-neck with Opus 4.5, and if Anthropic didn't release Opus 4.6 just last week, this would be an open weights model that rivals Opus! One of the best models the western foundational labs with all their investments has out there. Absolutely insane times. MiniMax drops M2.5 - 80.2% on SWE-bench verified with just 10B active parameters (X, Blog)Just as we wrapped up our conversation with Lou, MiniMax dropped their release (though not weights yet, we're waiting ⏰) and then Olive Song, a senior RL researcher on the team, joined the pod, and she was an absolute wealth of knowledge! Olive shared that they achieved an unbelievable 80.2% on SWE-Bench Verified. Digest this for a second: a 10B active parameter open-source model is directly trading blows with Claude Opus 4.6 (80.8%) on the one of the hardest real-world software engineering benchmark we currently have. While being alex checks notes ... 20X cheaper and much faster to run? Apparently their fast version gets up to 100 tokens/s. Olive shared the “not so secret” sauce behind this punch-above-its-weight performance. The massive leap in intelligence comes entirely from their highly decoupled Reinforcement Learning framework called “Forge.” They heavily optimized not just for correct answers, but for the end-to-end time of task performing. In the era of bloated reasoning models that spit out ten thousand “thinking” tokens before writing a line of code, MiniMax trained their model across thousands of diverse environments to use fewer tools, think more efficiently, and execute plans faster. As Olive noted, less time waiting and fewer tools called means less money spent by the user. (as confirmed by @swyx at the Windsurf leaderboard, developers often prefer fast but good enough models) I really enjoyed the interview with Olive, really recommend you listen to the whole conversation starting at 00:26:15.

We sit down with John of Canary Customs to talk about finding art through action figures, resin, and doing things the hard way on purpose. From growing up on Star Wars toys with his dad to discovering custom figures during the pandemic, John shares how fine art, kitbashing, and analog mold-making collided into a new creative path. We dig into bootlegs, card backs, resin casting, and the tension between one-off art and scalable production. This episode gets honest about art school realities, privilege, affordability, and why DIY approaches still matter as mass-produced figures get more expensive. It's a conversation about learning in public, experimenting without permission, and using action figures as a serious artistic medium.On Instagram: @_canarycustoms_This Episode is Sponsored by: Empire Blisters – Your go-to source for blister packaging!

Harman went from cold-calling hotels 100 times a day to building the category-defining guest management platform for the hospitality industry. Canary built a $600M company by first solving one tiny, annoying problem: paper credit card authorization forms.In this episode, Harman breaks down how a simple digital form became the wedge into thousands of hotels.

One stretcher. More than 80 patients waiting. Paramedics arriving with patients while admitted patients await transfer. That was the reality for registered nurse Jayme Hack during a recent shift at Edmonton's Royal Alexandra Hospital. Along with colleague Valerie Evanishen, she offers a frontline view of the relentless pressure inside one of Alberta's busiest emergency rooms. ER physician and former politician Dr. Raj Sherman puts it bluntly: ERs are the canary in the coal mine and “the canary is dead.” He says we can, and should, do better when it comes to emergency medicine.This is an extended version of the radio broadcast.
Kevin and Bill discuss our tottering economic system and analyze the market trends. Crypto is flatlining…Wall Street is turning into a casino…people are saving less…inflation is skyrocketing…and it's all accelerating a national recession. People no longer trust the market and are escaping into gold and silver. Can Trump fix it? If not, when will everything collapse — and what can individual Christians do to protect themselves?
Ambient documentation is becoming normal in clinics. But the most interesting “voice” capability may not be transcription at all.In the latest episode of Faces of Digital Health, Henry O'Connell (Canary Speech) explains why voice biomarkers stalled for decades: the field analyzed words, not the neurological signal behind speech production.Canary's approach focuses on the “primary data layer”—how the central nervous system drives respiration, vocal cord vibration, and articulation in real conversational speech. A few details that stood out: ⏱️ ~45 seconds of conversation can be enough for assessment

This is a bonus episode of Mouths of Madness featuring our companion series, Straitjacket Talk. We're diving into Poltergeist (1982): the haunted-house classic that said, “What if your TV had better reception… from the afterlife?” We break down the Spielberg vs. Tobe Hooper debate (who really directed this thing?), revisit the most iconic moments (“They're here…”, the clown scene, the tree attack, the face-melting mirror panic, and that chaotic “the house is clean” LIAR ending), and rank the movie like true horror gremlins. Is it terrifying? Is it cheesy? Is it secretly a theme-park ride disguised as a horror film? Yes. Yes. Yes.Also: we may or may not uncover the real villain of Poltergeist… and it might be Tweety the Canary.

Blue Canary Canvas is a needlepoint product and canvas design company, focused on innovating stitchable products for needlepointers, carrying exclusive canvases, and offering unique accessories. Home of theNDLPThat™ and theNDLPTbag™, Blue Canary offers a stitcher the ability to start a needlepoint project with a beautiful end product, and let the stitching make it one of a kind. What started as a brand new account on Instagram in October 2023 with zero social media presence, became in two years a headquarters for stitchable products and innovative self finishing ideas with 16,000 followers and over a million views. A self-described impatient needlepointer, owner and designer Sheila Salvitti couldn't understand why people were willing to wait 6, 9, even 12 months for a project to come back from a finisher, so she created her own finished products, but made them stitchable and easily accessible for stitchers of all levels.Support the show

Steven McClurg, the CEO and founder of Canary Capital, a digital asset investment firm, was welcomed to the video to discuss his background and the work of his company. McClurg, who was formerly in traditional finance, went "all in" on blockchain technology in 2016, and Canary Capital has recently focused on filing ETFs for altcoins after Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs went live. The firm looks at market demand for assets like XRP, Solana, and Litecoin when deciding which assets get a trust or ETF, and they are known for building innovative crypto products. McClurg believes that, similar to past technologies like radio and personal computers, constant innovation is necessary to avoid being left behind, and he sees the focus on a single crypto narrative as a mistake for retail investors.Check out Webroot: https://webroot.com/CRYPTO101Check out Gemini Exchange: https://gemini.comCheck out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Get my #1 altcoin pick for this month.Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today!

Harman Narula lives in NYC with his wife and 2 young kids. He was born in the states, from parents who immigrated to the country from India. The "immigrant household" was one that focused on hard work and ethics - and it was fueled by the lore of his grandfather's entrepreneurial adventures. He's a big Knicks fan, and likes to take in a game when he can. And prior to NYC, he lived in San Francisco for 10 years or so, and picked up bike riding. Though he hasn't picked it back up just yet, he hopes to eventually.Harman spent a lot of his early career in hospitality. His now co-founder worked in this space as well, but primarily on the technology size. So all the conversations he and his friend were having were referencing this eco-system. Eventually, they landed on a thesis that the "hotel tech stack" or operating system - should be customer facing.This is the creation story of Canary Technologies.SponsorsTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiAlcorEquitybeeTerms and conditions: Equitybee executes private financing contracts (PFCs) allowing investors a certain claim to ESO upon liquidation event; Could limit your profits.

Guest: Dr. Hannah Lawler, Naturopathic Doctor (ND)Core Theme: Moving beyond the "pill for every ill" mentality to embrace nutrition (The Bean Protocol™), individualized hormone support, and the powerful signaling of the female cycle.Key Takeaways & Highlights1. The Luteal Phase "Truth Serum"Uni and Hannah discuss the emotional intensity often dismissed as "just PMS."The Luteal Narrative: The luteal phase (the week before your period) acts as a "BS filter." While it can feel like "lunacy," it often highlights real issues in life or relationships that we suppress during the rest of the month.Actionable Advice: Don't make life-altering decisions (like divorce) during this phase, but document the feelings. Use them as data points to address once your hormones settle.2. Naturopathic vs. Conventional MedicineDr. Lawler clarifies the rigorous path of an ND:Training: Four years of medical school, including biochemistry, anatomy, and pharmaceuticals, plus extensive training in nutrition, homeopathy, and hydrotherapy.The "Village Doctor" Approach: Hannah operates a concierge practice, making house calls. This allows her to see a patient's environment—poking around the pantry to see what they think is healthy versus what actually supports their biology.3. The Foundation of Nutrition: The Bean ProtocolBoth Unique and Hannah emphasize that nutrition is not a "fad" but the literal building blocks of cells.Soluble Fiber (Beans & Psyllium): Essential for clearing recycled estrogen and toxins from the liver. This is the "insurance policy" for anyone on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).Personal Responsibility: You cannot drive a "Ferrari" (your body) and put in the cheapest fuel. High-performance health requires high-quality, consistent inputs.4. Advanced Optimizations: Peptides & GeneticsWhen the foundation of nutrition is set, Dr. Lawler looks at "levers" to move the needle:Peptides: Signaling molecules that tell cells to perform specific tasks (e.g., recovery, skin health, or mood). Hannah highlights GHK-Cu (copper peptide) for anti-aging and Thymosin Beta-4 for recovery.Genetics (3x4 Genetics): Understanding "bottlenecks," such as the COMT gene, which affects how you process caffeine and adrenaline. Knowing your genetics removes the "DIY" guesswork from health.5. Thyroid Health & The "Canary in the Coal Mine"The discussion touches on why Hashimoto's is so prevalent today:Environmental Toxins: Halogens like fluoride, chlorine, and bromine can "plug" iodine receptors in the thyroid, leading to dysfunction.Root Cause: It's never "just" the thyroid; it's a response to stress, viruses, or environmental toxicity (like mold).
The US government is reportedly considering the seizure of Venezuela's Bitcoin and cryptocurrency reserves, according to CNBC.

In this episode:Welcome back to another episode!Leslie Keener, the mastermind behind the Running Up for Air series, joins us to discuss how her initiative is turning endurance sports into a battleground for air quality awareness. Picture this: runners scaling mountains, huffing and puffing not just from the effort, but also from the smog. It's a wild concept that started when one guy realized he was training for a race in a polluted valley while breathing in what could only be described as a toxic miasma. Talk about a wake-up call!Leslie takes us through the evolution of this project, which has grown from a one-man show to a series of races across multiple states, all aimed at raising funds and awareness for air quality issues. We discuss how air quality is the canary in the coal mine for larger environmental crises, making it a topic that transcends politics and unites people from all walks of life. It's fascinating and a bit terrifying to think that the air we breathe can serve as a harbinger for climate change. But there's hope! Leslie shares success stories of how these races have not only raised funds but also educated participants about the importance of clean air—because let's face it, nobody wants to run in a cloud of smog.Of course, we can't skip our beloved medical mailbag segment, where we tackle the latest in supplement nonsense—this time, a product called Sport Legs. It claims to reduce lactic acid so you can run longer, faster, and without the burn. Sounds like a dream, right? We dig into the science (or lack thereof) behind it, and let's just say, the results might not exactly make you want to whip out your credit card. This episode is a blend of passion, advocacy, and a healthy dose of skepticism, all wrapped up in a conversation that's both enlightening and entertaining. So if you're ready to tackle some serious issues while having a laugh, you're in the right place!Segments:[07:54]- Medical Mailbag: Sportslegs[28:04]- Interview: Leslie KeenerLinks@runningupforair on InstagramLeslie's Website

This week, Dr. Kahn breaks down new research on erectile dysfunction (ED) as an early warning sign—a "canary in the coal mine"—for heart disease and cardiovascular events, including mortality. He also discusses the emerging role of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and highlights new findings suggesting that ED medications like Viagra and Cialis may reduce all-cause mortality and potentially lower the risk of dementia. Additional topics include the connection between sleep apnea and Parkinson's disease, how skipping breakfast may raise cholesterol levels, the impact of high-polyphenol diets on resting heart rate, tai chi for improving sleep, alternate-day fasting, updates on the Watchman device, and new approaches to treating carotid artery disease. This week, Dr. Kahn also highlights the Echo Flask—an elegant way to make hydrogen-rich water. You can order one at echowater.com for a discount.
7/8. The Snowy Egret, The Emperor Penguin, and the Climate Canary — Steven Moss — Moss describes the beautiful Snowy Egret, nearly driven to extinction during 19th-century "plumage wars," when its feathers, priced equivalently to gold, were harvested for women's millinery fashion. Moss emphasizes that the resulting systemic cruelty toward birds catalyzed women to establish conservation organizations including the Audubon Society. Moss identifies climate change as the current existential threat, exemplified by the Emperor Penguin, facing projected 98% extinction by 2100 due to habitat loss from sea ice decline. Moss characterizes the penguin, alongside migratory warblers affected by phenological mismatches with earlier insect emergence, as a "miner's canary" providing early warning of impending ecological and climate catastrophe confronting humanity. 1914

Junior roles in AI-exposed fields are disappearing fast. The obvious culprit is AI rapidly automating entry-level jobs. And yet, this isn't quite right. What is driving the drop is managers' expectations about what AI will do, not the work that it's already replacing. I discussed this with Ben Zweig of Revelio Labs, which builds global workforce data from millions of individual profiles to track hiring, separations and job flows. Their data shows how expectation and uncertainty are reshaping the market.Together, we explored the future of work and shared practical advice for new grads. We covered: (01:15) What's happening in the labor market? (05:27) The inherent complexity of the labor market (06:24) How Revelio Labs captures labor market data (08:39) "The Canary in the Coal Mine" (11:52) Who does AI exposure harm the most? (13:01) How AI anticipation is harming the job market (15:15) Testing the expectation mismatch hypothesis (17:30) Could AI be creating more jobs? (20:44) Breaking down jobs into smaller tasks (27:33) Why large companies struggle to reorganize (30:35) Focus on creating adaptive, flexible roles (36:03) Managing AI's increasing capability (39:11) What entry-level workers need to do 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 Where to find Ben: - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-zweig/ - Twitter/X: https://x.com/BJZweig - Revelio Labs: https://www.reveliolabs.com/ Production by supermix.io and EPIIPLUS1 Production and research: Chantal Smith, Hannah Petrovic and Marija Gavrilov.
