Thank you to our sponsors! Uniswap  Mantle For decades, the internet has worked without a native way to pay for things. Credit cards were bolted on, platforms built their own integrations, and developers had to stitch together complex payment flows to charge even a few cents for anything. But with AI agents now making requests, triggering actions, and needing to pay for data or services instantly, that old patchwork is starting to break. In this episode, Laura Shin speaks with Erik Reppel, Head of Engineering for Coinbase's Developer Platform, and Sam Ragsdale, founder of Merit Systems, about x402, a new open standard for internet-native payments designed for the AI era. They discuss why AI has revived a decades-old idea, how x402 works under the hood, why devs say the experience is simpler than traditional payments, and how stablecoins make microtransactions economically viable. They also dive into the big debates: no chargebacks, chain-agnostic design, the shift to a foundation, and how this standard could eventually work with fiat as well.

Radio TRO is brought to you in part by:Twisted Road - Motorcycle Rental in the USAVisit Twisted.TRO.bike to get a FREE riding day!Robin gives a warm, drummer-to-drummer salute to Jack DeJohnette before slamming Cloudflare for breaking TRO's podcast feed. He's changing tires, tubes and all, on a '70 CB350 while considering cool SAE selector ideas (one battery tender for three bikes). Brian's battery-tender advice is met with Robin's half agreement and a bit of eye-rolling.Brian plans a winter of family road miles and rereading Moby-Dick along with Lord of the Rings. He's all cheers 'n' tears about Blackhawk Farms raceway getting a pavement makeover. Eventually he dives into the techno jargon of cylinder count.Both take aim at mushy moto-speak, mocking phrases like "hand tight" and clearing up foot-pounds versus pound-feet. Also, save your chicken strips and knee dragging for clear, actionable coaching. Let's have a sane talk about dual-sport difficulty so that we can all maintain our momentum.Episode Page: https://tro.bike/podcast/2025e29/Music by Rabid Neon and Otis McDonald

AI stocks have experienced volatility, with companies like Nvidia, Oracle, Palantir, CoreWeave, and Snowflake at the forefront.

Piracy shield e Cloudflare: vedo il traffico gestito in modo assurdo. Cloudflare lo denuncia alle autorità USA per provvedere contro di noi.Nel frattempo siti istituzionali iraggiungibili e code iniection (non malware) da cloudflare per traffico strano.Qualcuno gioca sulla nostra pelle. Lo dico da settimane. Ora Cloudflare prende la carta bollata.

The brands dominating search today aren't just focusing on links and keywords. They're mastering three strategic pillars that deliver sustained visibility across traditional search and AI-powered platforms.After ten years working with national and international enterprise brands (including a recent Global Search Award win for The Ordinary), we've identified the exact framework that separates market leaders from everyone else.In this episode, I reveal:• Why technical SEO performance matters more than ever — including how page load speed impacts both rankings and conversion rates (with data from Cloudflare and Walmart showing the direct business impact)• The onsite content strategy that works for both AI search and traditional SEO — including how we helped ZUGU become the top-recommended iPad case in ChatGPT and Google's AI Mode through content hierarchy and internal linking• Why offsite SEO is now about brand building, not just link building — and how digital PR on high-authority sites influences AI recommendations (with examples from our work with Aged Care Bathrooms)• How tools like WP Rocket can handle 80% of technical SEO automatically — even if you're not technicalI'll share specific examples demonstrating how Core Web Vitals, topic clusters, and digital PR work together to drive rankings across both traditional search and AI platforms.If you're ready to build an SEO strategy that works for both traditional search and AI-powered platforms, this episode provides your complete action plan.

Hey, Alex here! Quick note, while preparing for this week, I posted on X that I don't remember such a quiet week in AI since I started doing ThursdAI regularly, but then 45 min before the show started, Kimi dropped a SOTA oss reasoning model, turning a quiet week into an absolute banger. Besides Kimi, we covered the updated MCP thinking from Anthropic, and had Kenton Varda from cloudflare as a guest to talk about Code Mode, chatted about Windsurf and Cursor latest updates and covered OpenAI's insane deals. Also, because it was a quiet week, I figured I'd use the opportunity to create an AI powered automation, and used N8N for that, and shared it on the stream, so if you're interested in automating with AI with relatively low code, this episode is for you. Let's dive inThursdAI - Recaps of the most high signal AI weekly spaces is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Kimi K2 Thinking is Here and It's a 1 Trillion Parameter Beast! (X, HF, Tech Blog)Let's start with the news that got everyone's energy levels skyrocketing right as we went live. Moonshot AI dropped Kimi K2 Thinking, an open-source, 1 trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model, and it's an absolute monster.This isn't just a numbers game; Kimi K2 Thinking is designed from the ground up to be a powerful agent. With just around 32 billion active parameters during inference, a massive 256,000 token context window, and an insane tool-calling capacity. They're claiming it can handle 200-300 sequential tool calls without any human intervention. The benchmarks are just as wild. On the Humanities Last Exam (HLE), they're reporting a score of 44.9%, beating out both GPT-5 and Claude 4.5 Thinking. While it doesn't quite top the charts on SWE-bench verified, it's holding its own against the biggest closed-source models out there. Seeing an open-source model compete at this level is incredibly exciting.During the show, we saw some truly mind-blowing demos, from a beautiful interactive visualization of gradient descent to a simulation of a virus attacking cells, all generated by the model. The model's reasoning traces, which are exposed through the API, also seem qualitatively different from other models, showing a deep and thoughtful process. My co-hosts and I were blown away. The weights and a very detailed technical report are available on Hugging Face, so you can dive in and see for yourself. Shout out to the entire Moonshot AI team for this incredible release!Other open source updates from this week* HuggingFace released an open source “Smol Training Playbook” on training LLMs, it's a 200+ interactive beast with visualizations, deep dives into pretraining, dataset, postraining and more! (HF)* Ai2 launches OlmoEarth — foundation models + open, end-to-end platform for fast, high-resolution Earth intelligence (X, Blog)* LongCat-Flash-Omni — open-source omni-modal system with millisecond E2E spoken interaction, 128K context and a 560B ScMoE backbone (X, HF, Announcement)Big Tech's Big Moves: Apple, Amazon, and OpenAIThe big companies were making waves this week, starting with a blockbuster deal that might finally make Siri smart. Apple is reportedly will be paying Google around $1 billion per year to license a custom 1.2 trillion-parameter version of Gemini to power a revamped Siri.This is a massive move. The Gemini model will run on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, keeping user data walled off from Google, and will handle Siri's complex summarizer and planner functions. After years of waiting for Apple to make a significant move in GenAI, it seems they're outsourcing the heavy lifting for now while they work to catch up with their own in-house models. As a user, I don't really care who builds the model, as long as Siri stops being dumb!In more dramatic news, Perplexity revealed that Amazon sent them a legal threat to block their Comet AI assistant from shopping on Amazon.com. This infuriated me. My browser is my browser, and I should be able to use whatever tools I want to interact with the web. Perplexity took a strong stand with their blog post, “Bullying is Not Innovation,” arguing that user agents are distinct from scrapers and act on behalf of the user with their own credentials. An AI assistant is just that—an assistant. It shouldn't matter if I ask my wife or my AI to buy something for me on Amazon. This feels like a move by Amazon to protect its ad revenue at the expense of user choice and innovation, and I have to give major props to Perplexity for being so transparent and fighting back.Finally, OpenAI continues its quest for infinite compute, announcing a multi-year strategic partnership with AWS. This comes on top of massive deals with NVIDIA, Microsoft, Oracle, and others, bringing their total commitment to compute into the trillions of dollars. It's getting to a point where OpenAI seems “too big to fail,” as any hiccup could have serious repercussions for the entire tech economy, which is now heavily propped up by AI investment. Sam has clarified that they don't think OpenAI wants to be too big to fail in a recent post on X, and that the recent miscommunications around the US government backstopping OpenAI's infrastructure bailouts were taken out of context.

AI won't replace 90% of what a strong people analytics team delivers. But what exactly is in that 90%—and how long will it stay out of reach? Roxanne Laczo (Head of People Analytics at Cloudflare), Cole Napper (VP of Research, Innovation & Talent Insights at Lightcast), and Noelle London (Founder and CEO of Illoominus) join David for a grounded roundtable on what AI can and can't do in HR today.This isn't a breathless tour of shiny tools. It's a candid look at the real dynamics reshaping the people analytics function: the transactional work being automated, the strategic work that still demands human context, and the business acumen gap that could soon define who stays relevant—and who doesn't.Related Links:Join the People Managing People community forumSubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Noelle, Cole, and Roxanne on LinkedInCheck out Illoominus, Lightcast, and Cloudflare, Inc.Support the show

That's the scale that Cloudflare operates at, processing roughly 25% of all internet traffic through their global network of 330+ edge locations.In this episode, we talk to Kevin Guthrie and Edward Wang from Cloudflare about Pingora, their open-source Rust-based proxy that replaced nginx across their entire infrastructure. We'll find out why they chose Rust for mission-critical systems handling such massive scale, the technical challenges of replacing battle-tested infrastructure, and the lessons learned from "oxidizing" one of the internet's largest networks.

Retragerea parțială a trupelor americane din România a stârnit reacții mixte la București și interes în toată regiunea. În timp ce în capitala României se discută intens dacă această decizie slăbește poziția țării în fața Rusiei, la Chișinău tonul este mai calm. Experții spun că nu este vorba despre o retragere propriu-zisă, ci despre o reașezare strategică a prezenței americane în Europa de Est, relatează de la Chișinău Liliana Barbăroșie. Temele ediției: - Președinta Republicii Moldova, Maia Sandu, a ținut un discurs la Forumul Păcii de la Paris, în care a plecat pentru un scut european al democrației, spunând că libertatea de exprimare este pentru oameni reali, nu pentru armate de boți, iar platformele de socializare trebuie să respecte legea. Maia Sandu a pledat și pentru extinderea UE. O relatare semnată de Valeria Vițu. - Rusia caută peste tot naziști și acuză România de ocuparea Republicii Moldova, spune jurnalistul Euronews România Vitalie Cojocari. - Moscova va folosi toate pârghiile pentru a destabiliza Republica Moldova prin intermediul regiunii transnistrene. Fără influența Rusiei, regiunea separatistă Transnistria ar putea fi reintegrată de Republica Moldova în 5-7 ani, cu sprijinul partenerilor occidentali, declară la RFI analistul politic de la Chișinău Alexandru Slusari, invitatul de astăzi la Moldova Zoom. - Un birou al Parlamentului European va fi inaugurat, pe 7 noiembrie, la Chișinău, în prezența președintei PE, Roberta Metsola. - Republica Moldova a fost ținta unor atacuri cibernetice masive în ziua alegerilor parlamentare și a fost ajutată să facă față de compania americană Cloudflare. - Două rachete rusești ar fi survolat spațiul aerian al Republicii Moldova noaptea trecută, în cadrul aracului masiv al Rusiei asupra Ucrainei, scrie TV8. Știrile zilei: Un birou al Parlamentului European va fi inaugurat, pe 7 noiembrie, la Chișinău, în prezența președintei PE, Roberta Metsola, care va efectua o vizită în R.Moldova și va ține și un discurs în plenul nou-alesului legislativ. Anunțul a fost făcut de vicepreședintele PE, Victor Negrescu, în cadrul primei vizite la Chișinău a unui oficial european după alegerea noului Parlament. *** Sistemul energetic din Ucraina a fost supus unui atac masiv cu rachete și drone rusește în timpul nopții de 29 spre 30 octombrie. TV8 scrie că, potrivit hărții atacului, două rachete ar fi survolat și nordul Republicii Moldova. Totuși, autoritățile de la Chișinău au precizat că nu au fost detectate survolări ale spațiului aerian. În rezultatul atacului, în „majoritatea regiunilor Ucrainei” au fost impuse pene de curent de urgență. *** Cloudflare, o companie americană specializată în servicii de securitate cibernetică, a confirmat că actori rău-voitori au vizat site-ul Comisiei Electorale Centrale a Republicii Moldova în timpul alegerilor parlamentare din 28 septembrie, printr-un atac sofisticat, în valuri sincronizate strategic. Site-ul Comisiei Electorale a fost lovit de aproape 900 de milioane de cereri în doar 12 ore, scrie News.ro. Guvernul Republicii Moldova, care a avut semnale cu mult timp înainte că se pregăteşte o interferenţă rusească masivă în alegeri, inclusiv prin atacuri cibernetice, a apelat la serviciile recunoscute ale Cloudflare, companie cu sediul la San Francisco. „Am putut oferi această expertiză CEC şi, în mai puţin de o săptămână, am integrat multe dintre site-urile lor electorale şi am implementat rapid strategii de atenuare pentru a-i ajuta să se pregătească pentru ziua alegerilor”, anunţă compania americană. *** Poliția și procurorii au desfășurat percheziții în mai multe locații din Republica Moldova privind activitatea de mercenariat a unor cetățeni moldoveni în Ucraina și alte state. Potrivit unui comunicat al Procuraturii, operațiunea s-a desfășurat în cooperare cu autoritățile din Ucraina și cu agenția Europol. Urmare a investigațiilor, oamenii legii au obținut probe care arată că suspecții s-ar fi înrolat în formațiuni paramilitare ilegale, de tipul «Wagner» și altele similare, atât în Ucraina, cât și în alte state. Contra unor sume de bani, aceștia ar fi participat în calitate de combatanți la diverse conflicte armate, inclusiv la războiul din Ucraina”, precizează comunicatul Procuraturii. *** Mașinile implicate în accidente rutiere vor transmite automat un apel la Serviciul 112, prin care va anunța locația și gravitatea. Acțiunea va fi posibilă în urma implementării proiectului Next Generation eCall, finanțat de Uniunea Europeană, informează MOLDPRES. Sistemul va conecta Republica Moldova la rețeaua europeană modernă de răspuns la urgențe.

In this episode, we sit down with Paul Klein IV, Founder & CEO of Browserbase, to explore how his team is redefining the foundation of AI-driven browser automation. Browserbase provides the web browser infrastructure for AI agents and apps, and its open-source SDK, Stagehand, lets developers write automations using natural language - adapting seamlessly as websites evolve.Paul shares his belief that browser automation is a critical but underinvested primitive that future AI applications will depend on for years. He traces the journey from the limitations of traditional headless browsers and brittle RPA tools to the emergence of a cleaner, more adaptable framework built for the AI era.We dive into:Stagehand's design philosophy: minimal feature bloat and strong abstractions.Developer-first community: TypeScript and Python support driven by user demand and open-source contributions prioritized through community PRs.Director, Browserbase's new layer for non-technical users: “if v0 was for building websites, Director is for building automations.”How open source investment fuels both innovation and integration, and why Browserbase believes the next billion-dollar company will be built on top of its framework.The evolving relationship between AI agents and the web, touching on Cloudflare, automation ethics, and where the line lies between automation and scraping.Paul also reflects on inspiration from figures like Jeff Lawson, the importance of great abstractions for new developers, and the “moment of magic” when AI begins to work on your behalf.

Jake is the founder and CEO of Serval, an AI-driven IT automation and service management platform that just raised $47M in Series A funding this week. Before founding Serval, Jake spent over five years at Verkada, where he led multiple products from 0-1 and helped scale the company across hardware and software. His years at Verkada taught him that winning in enterprise means delivering consumer-quality experiences to business buyers — a lesson that shapes how Serval turns complex IT automation into something that feels magical. In this episode, Jake and Brett dive into the lessons from Verkada that inspired Serval's founding, what it takes to disrupt entrenched enterprise categories, and practical tips for getting deeply embedded with customers and hiring high-quality candidates. In today's episode, we discuss: Why building “in existing categories” can be more powerful than creating new ones The lessons from Verkada that shaped Serval's platform strategy The customer interview question that unlocked the IT buyer's hidden pain points How Serval's automation builder uses AI to generate code-based workflows Redefining engineering and PM roles with forward-deployed engineers Keeping the hiring bar high in an AI-native startup Why there's a “land grab” moment right now in enterprise AI And much more...

Most companies talk about purpose. Beekman 1802 made it their operating system.In this episode of The Eric Ries Show, I sit down with Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell, co-founders of Beekman 1802, to explore how a small act of compassion grew into a multimillion-dollar skincare brand rooted in community and purpose.After losing their Manhattan jobs during the 2008 recession, Brent and Josh moved to a farm in upstate New York and agreed to take in 80 homeless goats from a neighbor. That decision led to their first product, a bar of goat milk soap, and to a philosophy of entrepreneurship built on kindness and long-term thinking.Together, we talk about scaling a values-driven company, turning The Amazing Race into PR that fueled their growth, and how to make purpose authentic instead of performative. We also explore why kindness and discipline can coexist, and how the best brands instill a sense of belonging. —Where to find Dr. Brent Ridge: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brent-ridge-md-0641791/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brent.ridge.12/Where to find Josh Kilmer-Purcell: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-kilmer-purcell-956b0b10/• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/josh.kilmerpurcell.5/—Where to find Eric:• Newsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericries.carrd.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Podcast:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ericriesshow.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theericriesshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ —In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(02:18) The Beekman 1802 origin story (04:25) How goat milk soap became their first product and sparked research on skin health(05:36) How Brent and Josh partnered with a local soap maker (06:58) Why Brent and Josh bootstrapped Beekman 1802 and how they found their market(12:48) How Brent and Josh enlisted neighbors to fulfill their first national order(16:58) A heuristic for decision making (18:01) The power of thinking beyond transactional relationships (19:30) Why Brent and Josh see kindness as a competitive advantage (22:28) How to stay kind without getting taken advantage of(24:20) The business upside of Cloudflare's decision to give its product away(25:23) The step-by-step approach Beekman 1802 used to scale without outside funding(28:33) How Brent and Josh made kindness a core operating principle at Beekman 1802(35:04) Why authenticity can't be bought and purpose shouldn't be confused with morality(40:44) How Beekman 1802 stays true to its values while working with investors(42:44) The crucial difference between being nice and being kind(45:54) How Brent and Josh turned The Amazing Race into a million-dollar win and free PR (49:10) How Brent and Josh's upbringings shaped their values and resilience(50:20) The role of family, community, and optimism in Beekman's enduring success(52:31) How Brent and Josh think about succession and protecting the brand(56:02) Other companies Brent and Josh admire(56:58) The reception to G.O.A.T.

Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally changing the internet. But Matthew Prince, CEO of cybersecurity giant Cloudflare, thinks there is a way to ensure content creators and publishers earn enough to operate — even as their work feeds AI.Cloudflare has put up digital firewalls around its clients' sites, which blocks the bots that copy content to train large language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude. It is then up to its customers to choose whether to allow those so-called AI “crawlers” to access their sites. Matthew spoke to Amol ahead of his appearance at the Thomson Reuters Foundation's Trust Conference, about how he hopes his decision will lead to a better deal for publishers as ‘search engines' become ‘answer engines' in the era of AI overviews and chatbots. They also talk about the debate between artists like Sir Elton John and the UK government over plans to exempt technology firms from copyright laws. The UK's Competition and Markets Authority has designated Google with strategic market status in general search, which includes AI Overview and AI Mode. But Google says “many of the ideas for interventions that have been raised in this process would inhibit UK innovation and growth, potentially slowing product launches at a time of profound AI-based innovation.” The company also disputes Matthew's claim that traffic to websites has fallen since the launch of AI Overview.

In this episode of Convergence.fm, Ashok Sivanand sits down with Farhan Thawar, Head of Engineering at Shopify, to go behind the scenes of how Shopify not only keeps pace with rapid change but leads it.  The discussion explores how Shopify became one of the first platforms to allow merchants to sell products directly inside ChatGPT, why that move challenges Amazon's dominance, and what it takes to build a company that learns faster than it fails.  Farhan explains the systems that make being first repeatable rather than accidental, including Shopify's internal LLM proxy, MCP servers, experimentation culture, and democratized tooling.  If you are a CEO, COO, or CTO looking to scale through culture, systems, and intentional technology adoption, this episode shows what it looks like to operate with conviction and long-term relevance. Key Topics and Moments: Shopify and OpenAI's commerce integration. The same day OpenAI enabled in-chat shopping, Shopify merchants were already live. Farhan explains what it takes for a company of Shopify's size to move with that kind of speed Competing with Amazon through culture, not size. Shopify has 3,000 engineers compared to Amazon's 35,000+, yet continues to outpace bigger players by focusing on coherence, focus, and empowered execution rather than bureaucracy and scale. The meaning behind Tobi Lütke's April AI memo. Farhan discusses how Shopify operationalized its “AI is non-optional” stance, what baseline expectations look like, and how performance is evaluated in an AI-native organization. AI reflexivity and the “three buckets.” Farhan explains how teams are taught to recognize “AI not allowed,” “AI optional,” and “AI mandatory” problems so that employees develop instinct for when to reach for AI — and when to pick up the screwdriver. The risk of ‘vibe coding' and why hand tools still matter. Farhan shares lessons from real incidents inside and outside Shopify, like the Cloudflare outage caused by unreviewed AI-generated code, and how engineering leaders teach judgment, not just prompting. The LLM Proxy and MCP Servers. Inside look at how Shopify democratized AI across departments by building an internal platform that connects all major models and corporate data sources, enabling every employee to build workflows and ask intelligent questions — not just engineers. AI budgeting vs. SaaS budgeting. Farhan explains why AI usage isn't treated like traditional SaaS spend and how Shopify encourages heavy experimentation by rewarding impact rather than punishing token consumption. Experimentation as a system. How teams are encouraged to show work at 20%, not 80%, and why the speed of learning, not perfection, is the true productivity metric. Subtraction as leadership. Farhan shares how founders and executives must delete outdated processes, rules, and layers of bureaucracy to make room for new ideas — why process should only exist if it makes something possible or 10x better. Hiring and growing AI-native talent. Why Shopify doubled down on internships, hiring 1,000 interns this year and next, and how younger engineers push full-timers to stay current by being born AI-native “centaurs.” Responsibility versus accountability. Why leaders can delegate tasks but not responsibility, and how to stay in the work without disempowering the team. Certainty as intolerance. Farhan's reflection on why overconfidence kills creativity, and how leaders can replace fixed beliefs with wayfinding, curiosity, and adaptive decision-making. Rapid-fire reflections for CEOs. Ashok and Farhan close with lessons on showing unfinished work, modeling curiosity, and removing friction as a cultural operating system. Who Should Listen: Mid-market CEOs, COOs, and CTOs building adaptable organizations that can scale.  Leaders focused on culture and transformation, not just technology adoption.  Operators who want to apply product thinking and modern software practices to traditional industries. Notable Quotes: “We have a baseline expectation of using AI. If you have two people, one using AI and one not, they will both be evaluated the same.” – Farhan Thawar on AI usage expectations  “We don't like waste, but we don't have limits. If you believe in your workflow, use the best model for your problem solving.” – Farhan Thawar on AI token cost and consumption   “You can now buy directly in chat from Shopify merchants. That is a major shift in how people discover and buy online.” – Ashok Sivanand on Shopify launching all their merchants on ChatGPT's Shop feature on the very day it was launched  Related Reading and References: Shopify Blog: Shopify and OpenAI bring commerce to ChatGPT (official announcement) - https://www.shopify.com/news/shopify-open-ai-commerce?podconvergence   Reuters: OpenAI partners with Shopify, Stripe, and others to expand ChatGPT integrations - https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/openai-partners-with-etsy-shopify-chatgpt-checkout-2025-09-29/?podconvergence   TechCrunch: Inside Tobi Lütke's AI Memo and Shopify's Cultural Shift - https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/07/shopify-ceo-tells-teams-to-consider-using-ai-before-growing-headcount/?podconvergence  Farhan's opinions about token consumption - https://x.com/fnthawar/status/1930367595670274058  Farhan's article about “looking stupid”- https://medium.com/helpful-com/why-looking-stupid-is-my-superpower-2ee3fe00a748?podconvergence  The Convergence.fm first episode with Farhan in 2024 - https://convergence.fm/episode/from-code-to-culture-how-shopify-thrives-under-farhan-thawars-thought-leadership  The Convergence.fm Episode about Tobi Lütke's leaked AI memo mandate, and our 6 takeaways - https://convergence.fm/episode/shopifys-leaked-ai-mandate-explained-6-takeaways-for-your-product-team  Tobi's memo Tweet - https://x.com/tobi/status/1909231499448401946 Unreasonable Hospitality (book) - https://www.amazon.com/Unreasonable-Hospitality-Remarkable-Giving-People/dp/0593418573  Farhan's Twitter (public handle) - https://x.com/fnthawar  Reflection and Action Steps: Start with your mission.

In this timely and insightful episode, Joe Fier sits down with SEO industry pioneer Jason Barnard, who brings 27 years of experience in search optimization to the table. As AI-driven platforms like Google, ChatGPT, and TikTok play an increasingly decisive role in how businesses are found online, the discussion dives deep into how to take real control of your digital identity, build trust with AI, and position yourself for the next era of search. Jason breaks down the importance of knowledge panels, the rise of walled gardens, and the urgent need for brands to become understandable and credible—before it's too late.Topics DiscussedThe New Age of Search: Why traditional SEO tactics are no longer enough and how AI-powered engines now guide users down the decision funnel.AI's Role in Brand Discovery: How platforms like Google, ChatGPT, and TikTok are shaping who gets found online—sometimes knowing more about your business than your own customers.Building a Walled Garden: Strategies to keep users engaged on your website and nurture them through your own content funnel, not just Google's or TikTok's.The Importance of Knowledge Panels: What they are, why they're a KPI for algorithmic understanding, and how to structure your website and online presence to earn one.Content Creation for the Future: Why up-to-date information and unique data (“information gaps”) will be more valuable than ever as AI saturates standard topics.Bot Traffic and the Bot Economy: The surprising reality of how much bot traffic comes from TikTok, Meta, Amazon, and even mysterious newcomers (like Petalbot).Protecting & Optimizing Your Content: How to use tools like Cloudflare to control which bots can access your content—balancing visibility with site performance and business goals.Action Steps for Digital Understandability: How to create an effective “About” page and build an infinite loop of self-corroboration across the web to make your brand machine-readable.Resources MentionedKalicube – https://kalicube.com/guides Jason Barnard - https://jasonbarnard.com/Google Search Results for Jason Barnard - https://www.google.com/search?q=jason+barnardCloudflare – https://www.cloudflare.com/Scott Duffy – https://scottduffy.com/Gert Mellak - https://gertmellak.com/ Connect with Joe Fier

S&P Futures are down roughly 1% this morning as U.S.–China trade tensions take center stage once again. While China's latest trade announcement wasn't particularly significant, it has managed to rattle investor sentiment. President Trump is set to meet with Argentina's president today following a major $20 billion financial assistance agreement between the two nations. The key event on today's economic calendar is a speech from Fed Chair Jerome Powell — investors will be listening closely for signs of further rate cuts this year. In corporate news, Salesforce's Dreamforce, Cloudflare's Cloudfair, and Broadcom's Open Compute Project Summit all kick off today. On the earnings front, positive results are rolling in from Wells Fargo (WFC), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), JPMorgan (JPM), and Domino's Pizza (DPZ). Looking ahead, reports from Progressive (PGR), Abbott Labs (ABT), Morgan Stanley (MS), Bank of America (BAC), and ASML are on deck for tomorrow morning. Tune in to NewsWare's Trade Talk for the full breakdown and what to watch as the trading week unfolds.

Bots are taking over the internet, previewing a new world where agents interact and humans consume bot-created content. Cloudflare, a leading content delivery network, saw this coming.Cloudflare Chief Strategy Officer Stephanie Cohen told me that publishers reported less traffic to their sites and less human traffic. “Those numbers were 10 times worse than a decade ago.”This has broken the open web trade of the crawling right for traffic promise. Cohen said, “For some bots, the crawl-to-traffic ratio is tens of thousands of times worse than it used to be.”Five takeaways from our conversation:Scarcity is required. Cloudflare's pay-per-crawl model aims to restore balance by creating enforceable scarcity. “If you don't have scarcity, there's no market. Changing the defaults was the only way for a market to develop.”AI engines need publishers. Models rely on fresh, high-quality publisher content to stay accurate. “If you got asked a question and didn't know what happened over the last two weeks, your answer is going to be stupider.”Pay-per-crawl is a first step, not the finish line. Cloudflare's system lets publishers decide whether to block, allow, or charge AI crawlers. It's a way to test how a content economy might form. As Cohen put it, “It's the simplest thing you can do because you can count a crawl.”The goal is the Spotify model. Cohen pointed to Spotify's emergence after Napster as a precedent for compromise. “There's lots of money going to creators in that model… it took a while for that market to develop.”The problem is Google. Publishers face a lose-lose choice: block Google entirely or allow AI Overviews to rewrite their work. “If they want search, they're also in AI overviews… They can't both crawl and pay nothing.”

Quick Summary & Overview: Our program began with a detailed technical discussion about the Starship spacecraft and its potential for Mars missions. The group explored various technical challenges and possibilities for Starship's capabilities, including engine operations, payload considerations, and transit times, while also discussing nuclear propulsion options and potential destinations for the spacecraft. The conversation concluded with discussions about lunar stations, their economic and scientific value, and the broader implications of public-private partnerships in space exploration.I started this program by introducing Space Show participants, including John Hunt, and guest Jack, Dr. Ajay Kothari, John Jossy, Phil, Peter, and Marshall Martin. I discussed the upcoming Starship and Mars transit topic with Jack, who agreed to stay for a 90-minute discussion. I also mentioned upcoming guests for future shows, including Joe Carroll, Dr. Benaroya, Sam Ximenez, and Dr. Mike Grumpman. I brought up fundraising and financial support for The Space Show as we are a listener supported show and we request your help to keep the program going.I also talked about the ongoing denial-of-service attack on the Space Show by AI bots which has led to issues with podcasting and other problems. We are using Cloudflare blocking for all non-human traffic but sometimes that blocks desirable non-human traffic. I mentioned the potential move of the podcast to Substack, but this is still in progress. I introduced our guest Jack Kingdon, a final-year undergraduate physics student at UCSB. He shared his interest in Starship and his published work in a Nature sub-issue which explores Starship's capabilities.Jack presented his research on the potential for Starship to achieve faster transit times to Mars, suggesting that the increased payload capacity and reusability of Starship could enable missions to Mars in as little as 3 months, compared to the traditional 6-7 month journey. He noted that this would require higher velocities and specific impulse from the Raptor engines, as well as meeting certain mass ratio targets. The discussion touched on the challenges of a narrow launch window for such a fast transit, the potential benefits of reduced radiation exposure, and the ethical considerations of presenting cost data without proper sourcing. Jack acknowledged the need to revise his cost estimates and agreed to further investigate SpaceX's perspective on faster transit options.Our group discussed reducing the payload of the Starship to accelerate transit time for human cargo, with Jack explaining that converting payload to fuel could increase delta-V by about 10%, but this might not be sufficient for a 90-day Holman transfer. Phil noted that SpaceX's claimed 100-ton payload capacity for Mars missions assumes optimal cargo transfers, and reducing payload to 45 tons could allow faster travel but might not be feasible for a crew. Marshall raised questions about using composite materials instead of stainless steel, which Jack explained was considered but abandoned due to concerns about re-entry temperatures and the need for ablative or ceramic heat shields.The group discussed the feasibility of a Mars mission involving separate reentry vehicles and transit vehicles, with Peter proposing a two-vehicle system to reduce heat shield requirements. Dr. Kothari explained that slowing down in cold space would require significant propellant, making the proposed system impractical. The discussion then shifted to SpaceX's plans for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) on Mars, with Jack noting that four shiploads of ISRU propellant would be needed rather than one, though he expressed doubts about the technical feasibility of this approach. Phil raised concerns about SpaceX's payload claims for the Starship, questioning whether they could truly achieve the promised capabilities with current technology.The group discussed nuclear propulsion options for space exploration, with Jack expressing skepticism about solid-core nuclear thermal rockets due to their high dry mass and limited specific impulse advantage. They explored the challenges of nuclear power systems on Mars, including radiative cooling requirements and ISRU considerations, with Phil noting that nuclear reactor radiators might become as heavy as solar panels. The conversation also touched on quantum physics research at UCSB, where Jack works on atomic and condensed matter systems, and Marshall raised questions about light speed in neutron stars, though Jack couldn't provide specific answers about light propagation in such extreme environments.Jack discussed the potential destinations for the Starship, emphasizing Mars as a priority due to the possibility of discovering ancient bacteria. He explored the feasibility of uncrewed missions to Jupiter and Saturn, highlighting Starship's capabilities for such missions. The group also discussed the use of Starship as a space settlement vehicle, with Jack noting its potential as a habitat for lunar and Martian settlements. David inquired about Jack's support from his professors for his Starship work, to which Jack replied that they have been very supportive. The discussion concluded with predictions on SpaceX's timeline for taking people to Mars and concerns about potentially losing to China in space exploration.This program is audio archived at www.thespaceshow.com.
