“More agile than a turtle! Stronger than a mouse! Nobler than a head of lettuce! His shield is his Heart! It's… El CHAPULIN COLORADO!”El Chapulín Colorado – The Red Grasshopper – was a Spanish-speaking television star loved by hundreds of millions of people around the world.The Red Grasshopper would shout “¡Síganme los buenos!” and leap into action whenever a ghost, a bandit, or any other threat appeared.(“¡Síganme los buenos!” translates to “Follow me, the good ones,” or “Good guys, follow me.”)And then he would run into a wall. Or tumble down the stairs. The results of following the lead of the Red Grasshopper were never straightforward. He had a good heart, but he was very poor, clumsy, and inept. His leadership would often increase the trouble, cause a mess, or create some other disaster that, through sheer luck, would always solve the problem.El Chapulín Colorado was Don Quixote dressed as a comedic superhero.Notice how these simple, concrete nouns are easy to visualize in your mind. “Turtle, mouse, head of lettuce, heart, red grasshopper.”And the verbs associated with El Chapulín Colorado are simple as well. “Leap, follow, run, tumble.”El Chapulín Colorado averaged 350 million viewers* per episode in Latin America alone during the mid-1970's and 1980's. The show has made $1.7 billion in syndication fees since it ceased production in 1992.Luis Castañeda, one of the Wizard of Ads Partners, recently sent an email to the partner group.Gentlemen,I was listening to this podcast “Outliers: Anna Wintour – Vogue” [The Knowledge Project Ep. #233] when I heard this comment:“Digital transformation isn't about abandoning what made you successful. It's about translating it to a new medium.”I took this to mean:“How can we translate what Roy has taught us into better digital marketing?”What do you think?LuisToday I will teach you a simple but profound answer to the question posed by Luis. In fact, I already have:These simple, concrete nouns are easy to visualize in your mind. “Turtle, mouse, head of lettuce, heart, red grasshopper.”And the verbs are simple as well. “Leap, follow, run, tumble.”Do you want to create better online ads? Avoid abstract words. Use simple, concrete nouns that people can easily see in their mind. Use simple verbs that are easy to visualize as well.Avoid abstract words. Use concrete words.Avoid abstract words. Use concrete words.Avoid abstract words. Use concrete words.And repetition is effective.Professional writers have long been familiar with that advice, but it was only recently scientifically proven. The publication is “Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition.” The paper is titled, “Concrete Words Are Easier to Recall Than Abstract Words: Evidence for a Semantic Contribution to Short-Term Serial Recall.” The tests were performed, and the paper was written, by Ian Walker and Charles Hulme of the University of York.Their paper is long and filled with scientific jargon, but this summary sentence is relatively easy to understand:“It is also apparent that the short words were much better recalled than the long words, and that the concrete words were much better recalled than the abstract words, with the possible exception of the first and last serial positions.”When Walker and Hulme refer to “the first and last serial positions,” they are referring to the long-established laws of Primacy and Recency. These terms describe how humans tend to remember the first item...
Aperol spritzes, ‘Euro summers', and aesthetic beach pics. In episode 135 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss all things travel. They discuss the differences how travel changes our relationship to the place where we're from, the difference between travel and tourism, and the place of travel in the history of philosophy. They go from Plato's views that young people shouldn't travel to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's belief that travel is essential for turning boys into men. They also explore the question, why do humans love to travel so much? In the bonus, your hosts debate over their relationships to phones and taking photos while travelling and dive deeper into what it's like to experience culture shock.

Welcome to episode 313 of The Cloud Pod, where your hosts, Matt, Ryan, and Justin, are here to bring you all the latest in Cloud and AI news. This week we've got an installation of Cloud Journey featuring Gartner and chaos AND an aftershow! We've got acquisition news, new tools, an undersea cable, and even a little chaos, all right now in the cloud. Let's get into it!

The deal follows a failed $3 billion acquisition attempt by OpenAI and Google’s $2.4 billion licensing and compensation package to secure Windsurf’s leadership, demonstrating the premium valuations for AI coding technology. Both companies develop AI coding agents designed to accelerate software development, with Cognition’s Devin agent and Windsurf’s tools representing the growing market for AI-powered developer productivity solutions. The acquisition ensures all Windsurf employees receive accelerated vesting and financial participation, addressing the disruption caused by the leadership exodus to Google. This consolidation in the AI coding space suggests smaller startups may struggle to retain talent and remain independent as tech giants aggressively pursue AI engineering capabilities.

This week we dive into the minds of dogs — exploring how they interpret human gestures, what their behaviour might reveal about their emotions, and whether breed really shapes personality. We break down the science of training, cognition, and attachment — and ask what's really going on behind those puppy-dog eyes. Turns out, your dog might be understanding more than you think. And probably judging you a little less than you fear. Music: HOME – AWAY

There are so many headlines about AI IDE Windsurf as of late, but we'll try to catch you up. First, OpenAI wanted to buy Windsurf for $3B, but the deal fell through due to Microsoft. Next, Google hired Windsurf's top execs and researchers to work on its AI products, but didn't buy the Windsurf IDE, for $2.4B. Then, Cognition bought the remainder of Windsurf's IP (and its staff) to integrate into its own products like Devin. And did we mention this all happened in the span of 72 hours?Amazon released its own AI-powered IDE called Kiro, and it claims it will bring structure to vibe-coding with "specs" to appeal to the enterprise companies. Kiro transforms prompts into structured specifications, technical designs, and implementation plans complete with testing.Next.js 15.4 debuted with a few notable highlights like 100% integration test compatibility for its new Turbopack bundler, and an experimental feature flag called `browserDebugInfoInTerminal` that will forward browser console output to the local terminal so CLI coding agents and AI IDEs like Cursor can see (and fix) client side errors. That sounds super useful.Timestamps:1:07 - Windsurf drama explained11:28 - Amazon's new Kiro editor26:29 - Next 15.433:33 - Figma's new glass effect39:19 - Lee Robinson leaves Vercel41:09 - What's making us happyLinks:Paige - Next.js 15.4, including `browserDebugInfoInTerminal` flag for AI agentsJack - Kiro AI IDE for spec-driven developmentTJ - OpenAI's Windsurf deal falls through - and Windsurf's CEO is going to GoogleLee Robinson leaves Vercel after 5 yearsFigma has Glass EffectPaige - The Will of the Many novelJack - Ninja Single Serve coffee maker and SF Bay Coffee compostable K-cupsTJ - Tabletop shuffleboardThanks as always to our sponsor, the Blue Collar Coder channel on YouTube.

Raphaël Raux's 2025 Harvard Horizon project, "Human Learning about AI," conducted in collaboration with fellow PhD student Bnaya Dreyfuss, explores how people often assume AI thinks like a human, which can lead to confusion about what these systems can and can't do. As a PhD candidate in economics at Harvard, Raux studies the complex relationship between how humans think and how artificial intelligence works. His research challenges common assumptions about AI and encourages a clearer, more realistic understanding of the technology. In his April 2025 talk at the annual Harvard Horizons Symposium, Raux shared insights from his work, which he hopes will support smarter decisions about how we use AI and help guide its development in ways that benefit both the economy and society.
The Twenty Minute VC: Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
Scott Wu is the co-founder and CEO of Cognition, the company behind Devin, the world's first AI software engineer. On Friday last week they pulled off the acquisition of the year, acquiring Windsurf, following their licensing agreement with Google. Previously a world-class competitive programmer, he was a gold medalist at the International Olympiad in Informatics and a member of the U.S. Math and Physics Olympiad teams. Before Cognition, he was a founding engineer at Scale AI, helping shape the early AI infrastructure stack. AGENDA: 00:00 – Why are founders walking away instead of going down with the ship? 01:05 – How did Cognition pull off the $220M Windsurf deal in just 72 hours? 04:45 – What really happened behind closed doors the weekend Windsurf was acquired? 07:15 – Did Google overlook a goldmine in the Windsurf team and IP? 09:00 – Who are the 100 people that secretly shape the future of AI? 12:30 – Can application startups ever gain leverage over foundation model giants like Anthropic? 14:15 – Is coding about to be replaced by simply describing what you want? 17:30 – 50% of new code is AI-written. Where does that go next? 20:45 – “We've gone from 0 to $80M ARR in 6 months. Quietly.” 25:00 – Are IDEs and agents just the training wheels for the real future of software engineering? 28:20 – If you could only back one—OpenAI or Anthropic—who's the better bet? 30:00 – Why has Cognition kept its insane growth a secret… until now?
A week of news surrounding Windsurf and Google (and now Cognition), why the Silicon Valley ecosystem as we've known it appears to be coming to an end, and why the hiring and acquisiton conventions emerging now are a clear win for big tech. From there: A counterfactual on the founding of OpenAI, and various reactions to Cloudflare's plans to block AI crawlers by default and offer a pay-per-crawl model to LLMs and websites. At the end: An email about having a second child spawns a discussion about parenting.
This week, we discuss Windsurf being acquired (again), how much AI agents really help with coding, and AWS launching Kiro. Plus, Matt attempts to design a new closet.

Welcome back to another action-packed episode of Tank Talks! Join host Matt Cohen with John Ruffalo as they break down the high-stakes drama shaking the AI and tech world. First up: the shocking collapse of OpenAI's $3 billion deal to acquire Windsurf, derailed by Microsoft's IP grip, and Google DeepMind's lightning-fast $2.4 billion countermove to snag top talent. Was this a regulatory dodge or a ruthless talent grab?The plot thickens as Cognition swoops in to rescue Windsurf's abandoned employees, sparking fiery debates about ethics in tech acquisitions. Meanwhile, Meta's throwing half-billion-dollar offers and unlimited GPU access at AI researchers, will this arms race kill open-source AI?From Google's $3 billion hydropower deal to private equity's risky play for Grant Thornton, no stone is left unturned. Plus, is the red-hot IPO market ready for crypto's comeback? Strap in for a no-holds-barred dive into the deals, power struggles, and Silicon Valley scheming you need to know about!OpenAI's $3 Billion Deal Collapse: A Tech Industry Shock (00:45)It all started with a major deal unraveling: OpenAI's attempt to acquire Windsurf, a competitor to Cursor, fell apart due to a contractual conflict with Microsoft.

John and Matt discuss the ethical and legal complexities of acquihires and the tension between founders, employees, and investors when money and control are on the line.Cognition's Quick Move to Acquire Windsurf (07:00)In a dramatic twist, AI company Cognition steps in to acquire Windsurf and its employees, turning the situation around. Matt and John analyze the speed and strategy behind this acquisition and what it means for competition in the AI coding space.Mark Zuckerberg's AI Talent Strategy: Unlimited GPUs and $500M Deals (09:00)Zuckerberg's bold move to attract top AI talent with unlimited GPU access and eye-popping compensation packages is making waves. But is it desperation or a stroke of genius? Tune in as Matt and John debate the future of AI talent wars and Meta's place in the race for superintelligence.The Power Struggles Behind AI and Crypto Investments (11:05)It's not just about technology; it's about energy, too. Matt and John discuss the power struggles behind data centers, microgrids, and massive AI and crypto energy consumption, including the huge investments made by Meta, Google, and Oracle to secure their futures.Grant Thornton's Global Franchise Issues: When Private Equity Meets AI (12:20)Private equity's increasing role in professional services firms like Grant Thornton is causing some tension. Matt and John explore how AI and cross-border partnerships are shaking up the accounting world, leading to serious questions about the future of global firms.Bitcoin Soars and IPOs Heat Up: The Crypto Revolution (15:30)Bitcoin is soaring and the IPO market is heating up with crypto companies eager to go public.

Este podcast es posible gracias a Santander:https://online.bancosantander.es/landings/cuentas/cuenta-autonomos/Bienvenidos a esta tertulia en directo con Jordi Romero, Bernat Farrero y César Miguelañez.Empezamos hablando con la montaña rusa de Windsurf, la compañía que pasó de facturar 0 a 80 M $ en doce meses, intentó venderse a OpenAI y acabó viviendo un “Acqui-hiring” express de Google por 2,4 B $ mientras Cognition compraba los restos y 250 empleados se quedaban en tierra de nadie, un culebrón que abre un debate crudo sobre si hoy vale más el talento que el ARR .Conversamos con Ilya que desgrana por qué Grok 4 ha doblado el récord del benchmark ARC‑AGI y, entre aplausos y pullas a Elon Musk, discutimos si es el modelo más potente o simplemente el menos alineado con los “guard‑rails” tradicionales . A partir de ahí saltamos a la “guerra de los navegadores con IA”: ARC patina y Perplexity presenta Comet, un agente que navega y hace clics por ti, mientras OpenAI contraataca integrando su propio navegador en ChatGPT; todo ello dispara la eterna pregunta de si el SEO tal y como lo conocemos está condenado.Hablamos Carla y Jia, cofundadores de Theker, para celebrar en directo la mayor ronda seed de la historia en España —21 M € liderados por Kibo, Kfund e Inditex— y explicar cómo sus robots “tipo ChatGPT” aprenden tareas industriales sobre la marcha, por qué patentan sus grippers y cómo la velocidad es su verdadero moat . Analizamos la subida de precios de Cursor, las fugas a Cloud Code o Copilot y la fragilidad de cualquier startup cuando el proveedor de modelos le cierra el grifo .Entre preguntas del público surgen dilemas sobre CFOs en etapa seed y la utilidad de los SDR en la era de los agentes.Sigue a los "tertulianos" en Twitter:• Bernat Farrero: @bernatfarrero• Jordi Romero: @jordiromero• César Migueláñez: @heycesrSOBRE ITNIG

My guest is Dr. Marc Berman, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago whose research explores how different physical environments—particularly nature and patterns found in nature—can positively impact our ability to focus, our cognitive performance and our mental and physical health. We discuss how our physical environment influences our attention, stress levels and brain and heart health. He explains how even brief periods in nature and exposure to natural images and sounds can restore and improve attentional capacity, reduce mental fatigue and help combat rumination and depression. Whether you live in a city, suburb or rural area, this episode offers simple science-backed strategies for incorporating nature and natural elements into your daily life to positively transform your cognitive ability and mental and physical health.

Visit https://www.economist.com/toe Physicist and philosopher Jenann Ismael joins to unveil a radical idea: free will isn't an illusion, it's a physical reality grounded in thermodynamics and relativity. In this conversation, Jenann explains why no system, not even a perfect computer, can predict its own future, and how this inherent unpredictability opens the door to real agency. We explore the paradox of identity, the limits of determinism, the role of memory in selfhood, and why your choices truly come from you. This is the clearest, most rigorous defense of free will in the age of physics.

In this thought-provoking **Market Mondays clip**, Rashad Bilal sits down with futurist 19 Keys to explore the transformative power of technology in today's world. The conversation dives deep into how artificial intelligence and quantum computing are shifting not only the economy but also the very way we think and live.19 Keys shares his compelling thesis on the current state of technology: imagine a world without the internet—it's almost impossible now. Soon, AI will be just as integrated into our lives. From boosting GDP as the workforce changes, to democratizing computer science around the globe, AI's reach is undeniable. But that power comes with both opportunities and dangers.The discussion moves into the concept of “cognitive surplus”—as AI takes over mundane tasks, it frees up human minds for deeper, creative thinking and innovation. 19 Keys argues we're entering a new cognitive renaissance era, where the ability to process, synthesize, and defend our thoughts is the new gold. In a landscape flooded with distractions and manipulation, especially in communities facing stress and limited resources, cognitive security becomes just as important as technological literacy.But it's not all utopia: 19 Keys also acknowledges AI's double-edged nature. While it can spur empowerment and renaissance, it's also a tool for psychological warfare—able to influence beliefs and manipulate vulnerable populations. For those able to harness both technology and mental discipline, however, a new age of enlightenment is on the horizon.Whether you see AI as a liberator or a threat, this clip offers crucial insights for anyone wanting to prepare for the rapidly changing future. Are you ready to embrace the cognitive renaissance?*Timestamps:* (If you'd like detailed timestamps, let us know in the comments!)*Key Takeaways:* How AI is redefining what it means to be human The risks of cognitive manipulation in the era of psychological warfare Why deep thinking and mental resilience are becoming our most valuable assets The real opportunities for renaissance and innovation, especially within marginalized communitiesDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more powerful insights from the Market Mondays team!*#MarketMondays #19Keys #RashadBilal #ArtificialIntelligence #CognitiveRenaissance #FutureOfTech #TechTalk #FinancialFreedom #BlackExcellence #AIRevolution*Our Sponsors:* Check out PNC Bank: https://www.pnc.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What does it take to start over and succeed in pet care—twice? After moving from Los Angeles to Canada, Maricella Sauceda launched Love 4 Dogs Pet Services from scratch, building it into a thriving solo operation. When betrayal and burnout led her to scale back and start fresh in a new town, she leaned on resilience, community, and clarity to move forward. From seasonal adventure hikes to enrichment walks for senior dogs, she shares how custom services and strong boundaries have helped her stay passionate and present. Her evolving journey—including a surprising recovery from a cat allergy—highlights the power of trusting your instincts and staying true to your purpose. Main Topics Starting over in a new country Rebuilding after betrayal and burnout Offering seasonal and custom services Balancing business with community work Overcoming health challenges to grow services Main Takeaway: “I can reinvent myself again… because I've done it over and over.” Starting from scratch isn't a failure—it's proof that you're adaptable, capable, and strong. Maricella Sauceda's journey in pet care is a reminder that we're not defined by setbacks, but by our willingness to keep showing up, keep serving, and keep dreaming. Whether it's moving to a new country or recovering from betrayal, she proves that resilience and reinvention go hand in hand. If you've ever had to hit reset, this episode will inspire you to trust your experience and believe in your next chapter. About our guest: Maricella Sauceda is the owner and founder of Love for Dogs Pet Services based in Aurora, Ontario, just north of Toronto. Originally from Los Angeles, she moved to Canada in 2009 with her two beloved rescue dogs, Tazz and Jazz (may they rest in peace), who were more than happy to make the cross-country journey by her side. After months of research and planning, she officially launched Love for Dogs in 2010—building the business from the ground up with determination and care. Surrounded by animals her entire life, Maricella has a natural disposition that dogs and cats instinctively gravitate toward. As an only child, pets became her closest companions, a bond that still shapes her work today. She is certified in Pet CPR and has completed continuing education in Animal Behaviour and Welfare through the University of Edinburgh, and Dog Emotion and Cognition through Duke University. Her services include weekday dog walking, seasonal forest adventure hikes, and enrichment walks for senior dogs, along with select custom services for long-time clients. Now developing Love 4 Cats after recovering from a long-standing allergy, Maricella brings her signature personal touch to feline care. Deeply involved in her local community, she volunteers with Turtle Tias, serves on her child's school council, and contributes to local town committees. Starting Love for Dogs has been one of the best decisions of her life—and her clients' pets are better for it.
