LikeFolio's Landon Swan outlines a bearish outlook on General Motors (GM) ahead of earnings, citing weakening consumer demand, particularly for EVs and China-made vehicles.

Martyn Briggs, Director, Thematic Investing Strategy, Bank of America joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss why Physical AI is no longer a concept on the horizon but an era that continues to emerge across humanoids, autonomous vehicles, drones, and industrial robotics.AI has left the chat, and is moving from digital text-based intelligence to the physical world. Last year, 20,000 humanoids were manufactured, 80 percent of which were in China. The market for humanoids is projected to grow exponentially to 1.2 million by 2030 and 10 million by 2035, driven by falling component costs, simulation-to-real transfer breakthroughs, and the convergence of generative AI with robotics.Across the autonomous vehicle landscape, L2+ advanced driver assistance is emerging as the trust gateway to full L4 autonomy. As consumers grow comfortable with supervised automation on highways, the path to trusting robotaxis becomes shorter and shorter. The physical AI opportunity extends well beyond the United States, with Europe and the UK positioned to deploy robotaxis as an economic driver across dense urban corridors.Episode Chapters0:00 AUTNMY AI00:24 Physical AI Primer07:51 Open Source Physical AI Models12:46 The ChatGPT Moment for Robotics15:56 Scaling Humanoids27:17 Capital Flowing to Embodied AI29:28 Fleet Infrastructure, Real Estate & Charging31:43 OEM Struggles, Consumer Demand for L442:08 Waymo in London & Europe's Robotaxi Opportunity49:16 UAE as a Global Autonomy Market52:14 Autonomous Trucking57:30 Drones and Scaling Physical AI59:53 The Future of Physical AI--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the definitive media brand covering the Autonomy Economy™.

At KBIS 2026, Hearth & Home Technologies reveals how fireplaces are evolving from overlooked amenities into high-value, design-forward features that enhance both homes and builder offerings. We explore the emotional, aesthetic, and technological dimensions of modern fireplaces, from indoor-outdoor integration to bespoke U-shaped configurations. Designers, architects, and builders alike share insights on leveraging fireplaces for resale value, client engagement, and standout home experiences. Mike Swanson – Director, Segment Marketing | Hearth & Home Technologies Fireplaces are no longer just a cozy addition—they are strategic assets in home design, builder differentiation, and lifestyle storytelling. Consumer Demand & Builder Value Fireplaces rank high on buyer wish lists; 77% of homebuyers desire a fireplace. Adding a fireplace can increase home value by 10%, comparable to adding a garage. Fireplaces differentiate homes and engage buyers beyond square footage, integrating lifestyle and personality into living spaces. Design & Technology Integration Indoor and outdoor placement flexibility, including direct vent and electric fireplaces. Heat management technology enabling safe TV placement above fireplaces. Smart home integration, LED flame effects, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Design-forward considerations: feature walls, proportion, architectural integration, and bespoke finishes. Custom & Premium Solutions U-shaped, L-shaped, and multi-sided fireplaces offer signature focal points. Customization options include firebox décor, decorative panels, and the Enlight Collection's fireproof image panels. Aligning fireplace sizing with flat-panel TVs and overall home layout for maximum impact.

National distribution network ensures on-time delivery and installation support. Strategies for integrating fireplaces into model homes, luxury projects, and production homes across price points.

Innovation & Future Outlook New electric and digital flame technologies (e.g., Illusion Edge, Illusion Heritage). Product refreshes every three years to maintain style-forward, timeless appeal. Continuing to expand placement possibilities and premium customization for design-forward homes. At KBIS 2026 in Orlando, Hearth & Home Technologies showcased how the modern fireplace is evolving from a standard home feature into a high-value, design-forward element that serves builders, designers, and homeowners alike. The conversation revealed that fireplaces are not just a source of warmth—they are strategic tools for engagement, differentiation, and lifestyle storytelling in residential design. Research consistently shows that fireplaces are among the most desired features in new homes, with 77% of buyers listing them as a priority. Beyond emotional appeal, fireplaces offer tangible value: they can add up to 10% to a home's resale value—equivalent to a garage—while remaining relatively accessible, starting at approximately $2,000. For builders, fireplaces help differentiate offerings in competitive markets, enhance staging appeal, and align with buyer desires for personalization and interaction. Modern fireplaces extend well beyond traditional living rooms. Hearth & Home Technologies' portfolio includes indoor, outdoor, and indoor-outdoor configurations, allowing architects and designers to integrate fireplaces into kitchens, bathrooms, ensuites, and shared spaces. Electric fireplaces offer unprecedented placement flexibility, while gas units with direct vent technology allow designers to position flames virtually anywhere without compromising air quality. Heat management innovations also enable TVs to be safely mounted above fireplaces, merging functionality with aesthetic appeal. Customization and premium finishes remain a hallmark of Hearth & Home's strategy. Their U-shaped and L-shaped designs, multi-sided fireplaces, and the Enlight Collection's fireproof image panels demonstrate the growing appetite for bespoke elements that reflect homeowners' individuality. Proportion, scale, and feature integration—such as firebox décor, stone slabs, or quartz surrounds—allow designers to create compelling focal points that harmonize with the broader home environment. Equally important is the company's commitment to builder and designer partnerships. Their Pro Advantage program, continuing education courses through AIA and IDEC, and extensive distribution network ensure that both builders and designers have the knowledge, tools, and on-site support to incorporate fireplaces seamlessly. Builders benefit from reliable supply chains and flexible pricing options, while designers gain access to innovative solutions that align with client expectations. Technology continues to play a central role in Hearth & Home's product evolution. Wi-Fi-enabled fireplaces, LED rotisserie flames, and digital flame technologies like the Illusion Edge allow homeowners to control ambiance remotely and safely. Wood-burning fireplaces adhere to EPA standards, ensuring environmentally conscious solutions for diverse markets. The company also emphasizes timeless design, prioritizing chic, intentional, and adaptable products over fleeting trends. As KBIS 2026 demonstrates, fireplaces are more than decorative features—they are emotional anchors, value drivers, and design catalysts. By combining technology, customization, and education, Hearth & Home Technologies positions the fireplace as an essential component of modern residential architecture, offering builders, designers, and homeowners a tool to elevate both experience and value.

Cosmetic dentistry is changing faster than ever — and if you're not paying attention, you're about to miss the biggest opportunity the profession has seen in decades. In this episode, Dr. Len Tau sits down with one of the leading voices in modern cosmetics, Dr. Brian Harris, to reveal how technology, consumer demand, and affordability are coming together to reshape the future of smile design. Dr. Len welcomes cosmetic dentistry expert Dr. Brian Harris, a Phoenix-based cosmetic dentist known for pioneering patient communication, virtual consults, and modern smile design workflows. Dr. Harris breaks down the massive shift happening in aesthetics — from the rise of 3D-printed hybrid veneers, to the power of Instagram, to why virtual consult funnels are now essential for case acceptance. He shares how he scaled from one cosmetic case a week to three every day, why demand is exploding, and what dentists can do right now to attract more qualified patients. If you're looking to simplify your cosmetic process, improve case acceptance, and tap into this growing market, this episode delivers everything you need. Here are some of the interesting stuff we talked about in this episode. Cosmetic demand is exploding — patients are more educated than ever because of social media. 3D-printed veneers are creating a new mid-tier option that's half the time and half the cost of porcelain. Virtual consults pre-qualify patients, eliminate surprises, and dramatically increase case acceptance. Authentic social content wins — simple, honest videos perform better than outsourced, generic posts. Dentists who simplify their process (options, pricing, visits, financing) will dominate the next era of cosmetic dentistry.   — Connect with Dr Brian Instagram: @drbrianharris Email: brian@drbrianharris.com Website / Smile Virtual: https://www.smilevirtual.com/ Courses & Cosmetic Training:

Eric and Matt break down a strong third quarter that saw the S&P 500 climb 10%, leaving Liberation Day's tariff chaos behind. They explore the growing divide between wealthy asset owners feeling great and everyone else struggling with inflation, while examining why bonds are pricing in Fed rate cuts even as stocks surge. The conversation turns to the private markets boom and whether opening up private equity to retail 401(k) investors is a good idea or a disaster waiting to happen. Eric shares why AI companies are burning massive amounts of capital with unclear returns, yet may be impossible to bet against if they build a cult-like following. They note that credit markets still look healthy despite late-cycle warning signs, making this moment particularly unusual.

So, these forces point to new pockets of opportunity.” In this episode of Retail Sound Bites, we welcome Oksana Sobol, consumer insights lead at Clorox, for a timely discussion on the forces shaping consumer demand. Oksana unpacks how economic volatility, shifting demographics, and evolving attitudes are redefining what and how consumers buy.

A16z Podcast Key Takeaways  Human labor may become less valuable, but the property that humans own – such as the S&P 500 – will experience significant value growth Value will accrue to property owners, via capital incomeA practical definition of AGI: AI that can do 98% of jobs as well as humans and can automate 95% of white collar work People often think of AI replacing human jobs as a perfect substitute, but typically, new technological adoption is complementary to human labor The key capability of learning on the job has not been unlocked; this is a technological unlock that could supersede the brand effect So while OpenAI is leading on brand, it could be usurped by a lab that makes a technical breakthroughUnless more compute comes online to continue the growth, we will have to rely on advancements in AI algorithms to carry the torch With AI, capital and labor are functionally equivalent; we can just build more data centers and robot factories (which can build even more data centers and robot factories), thus creating an explosive dynamic The optimistic vision for humanity's role in an AI-driven future mirrors how we currently treat retirees: valuing their past contributions and supporting them even as they step back from direct economic productivity The emergence of AGI will resemble the Industrial Revolution more than it will the creation of the atom bomb There was not ‘one machine' that enabled the Industrial Revolution; there was a broader process of growth and automation due to many complementary innovations A sovereign-wealth fund type structure may describe the future of human work: Humans buy shares in investment firms that manage the investment of AI stuff and then become broad-based shareholders in the development of AI This is what Alaska does with oil Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, Erik Torenberg is joined in the studio by Dwarkesh Patel and Noah Smith to explore one of the biggest questions in tech: what exactly is artificial general intelligence (AGI), and how close are we to achieving it?They break down:Competing definitions of AGI — economic vs. cognitive vs. “godlike”Why reasoning alone isn't enough — and what capabilities models still lackThe debate over substitution vs. complementarity between AI and human laborWhat an AI-saturated economy might look like — from growth projections to UBI, sovereign wealth funds, and galaxy-colonizing robotsHow AGI could reshape global power, geopolitics, and the future of workAlong the way, they tackle failed predictions, surprising AI limitations, and the philosophical and economic consequences of building machines that think, and perhaps one day, act, like us. Timecodes: 0:00 Intro0:33 Defining AGI and General Intelligence2:38 Human and AI Capabilities Compared7:00 AI Replacing Jobs and Shifting Employment15:00 Economic Growth Trajectories After AGI17:15 Consumer Demand in an AI-Driven Economy31:00 Redistribution, UBI, and the Future of Income31:58 Human Roles and the Evolving Meaning of Work41:21 Technology, Society, and the Human Future45:43 AGI Timelines and Forecasting Horizons54:04 The Challenge of Predicting AI's Path57:37 Nationalization, Geopolitics, and the Global AI Race1:07:10 Brand and Network Effects in AI Dominance1:09:31 Final Thoughts  Resources: Find Dwarkesh on X: https://x.com/dwarkesh_spFind Dwarkesh on YT: https://www.youtube.com/c/DwarkeshPatelSubscribe to Dwarkesh's Substack: https://www.dwarkesh.com/Find Noah on X: https://x.com/noahpinionSubscribe to Noah's Substack: https://www.noahpinion.blog/ Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

The best part about home inspection conferences is getting to hang out with people from parts of the country. And with Double Scope Inspections from Melbourne, FL, we get to compare notes about how last Fall's hurricanes affected the Gulf and Atlantic coasts and business in the aftermath of the storms. Takeaways Building science encompasses durability, comfort, health, and efficiency. Improving energy efficiency can reduce the need for solar panels. Air sealing is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality. Solar energy may not be cost-effective in Texas due to low energy prices. A well-ventilated home is essential for preventing mold and maintaining comfort. Homeowners can easily tackle air sealing projects themselves. The roof is the first line of defense against water damage. Controlled ventilation is necessary for modern energy-efficient homes. Identifying and addressing energy leaks can significantly improve comfort. A holistic approach to home performance leads to better outcomes. Humidity is often misunderstood as the main culprit in home issues. Controlled ventilation is crucial for managing indoor air quality. Building codes can create unintended consequences in home performance. Air tightness can improve energy efficiency but may introduce new problems. Consumer demand drives builders to adopt new practices and materials. The roofing industry lacks regulation, leading to varied quality. Educating consumers is essential for improving construction standards. Collaboration among contractors can elevate industry practices. Innovative products can address long-standing issues in construction. Continuous learning is vital for adapting to new building challenges.

Solar has gotten popular in Texas, and it's long been popular in FL. But before dropping tens of thousands on it, you should know that there are WAY EASIER and more cost effective ways to improve your home's efficiency. So join us and Travis Jones of Smart Roof & Home Performance as we discuss various aspects of building science, energy efficiency, and solar energy, particularly in the context of Texas. They explore the importance of improving home durability, the role of air sealing and ventilation, and the challenges of solar energy adoption in the region. Travis Jones shares his expertise in roofing and home performance, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to home improvement that prioritizes energy efficiency before considering solar solutions. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of modern building practices, focusing on issues such as humidity control, ventilation, and the impact of building codes on home performance. They discuss the trade-offs of energy efficiency versus traditional building methods, the challenges faced by contractors in the roofing industry, and the importance of educating consumers about quality construction. The conversation also highlights innovative products showcased at a recent builders conference, emphasizing the need for continuous learning and adaptation in the construction field.
