In part two, Caesar and Rabbi Rothschild shift gears to deep philosophical, scientific, and theological questions. They tackle the afterlife in Jewish thought, whether Artificial Intelligence displays "godlike" attributes, and the metaphorical nature of Genesis and the Adam & Eve narrative. They also dive into the claims of former Israeli Space Agency head Hiam Eshed regarding a Galactic Federation and guided panspermia.Rabbi Rothschild (#ViralRabbi) Relevant Websites: Linktree.com/RabbiRothschildRabbiRothschild.medium.comRabbiRothschild.blogspot.com Discord: https://discord.gg/pXv9hTu72a Discord: Discord.me/Rabbi24/7 multiple YouTube streams: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Rabbi+rothschild&sp=EgJAAQ%253D%253D – The Jewish Concept of Afterlife & Resurrection– Harmonizing Messianic Prophecy with Future Scientific Breakthroughs– AI vs. The Divine: Is Superintelligence a Tool or a Deity– Jacob Wrestling with God: Etymology and Meaning of Israel– Pre-existence of Souls, Reincarnation, and Mysticism– Is Creation Metaphorical?

Caesar sits down with 24/7/365 life-streamer Rabbi Rothschild to explore the intersection of ancient history, data preservation, and theology. They discuss how modern video archives compare to ancient stone and metal records, dive into non-canonical scriptures like the Gospel of Thomas and the Book of Enoch, and break down the ancient lore of "The Watchers" and the Nephilim. The conversation wraps up with a look at cutting-edge futurism, de-extinction, and life extension technology.Rabbi Rothschild (#ViralRabbi) Relevant Websites: Linktree.com/RabbiRothschildRabbiRothschild.medium.comRabbiRothschild.blogspot.com Discord: https://discord.gg/pXv9hTu72a Discord: Discord.me/Rabbi24/7 multiple YouTube streams: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Rabbi+rothschild&sp=EgJAAQ%253D%253D– Life as a 24/7 Time Capsule & Data Redundancy – Archiving Human Memory: Stone Tablets to Cloud Data – The Library of Alexandria & Modern Cloud Backup Infrastructure – Dead Sea Scrolls, Gnostic Texts & The Gospel of Thomas – The Book of Enoch: Who were "The Watchers" & The Nephilim? – Rabbinic Jewish Perspectives on Angels, Demons, and Tikkun Olam – Rabbi Rothschild's Media Network & Social Platforms – Emerging Tech: De-extinction, Transhumanism & Mind Uploading

This is a preview | For full audio and show notes plus extras, subscribe via https://patreon.com/newmodels or https://newmodels.substack.com _ Artist Simon Denny returns to New Models to discuss the American defense tech sector's newfound dedication to aesthetics. Distilling the branding languages of companies like a16z, Palantir, and Anduril—which draw heavily on Italian Futurism, return-to-order neoclassicism, and the graphic idiom of modernist institutions—Denny shows techno-libertarian leaders to be positioning themselves as a progressive counter-elite, priming the public to receive its revanchist turn toward miltarism as natural, just, and inevitable. "Why is Andreessen reaching for art and culture? He doesn't have to reach for culture... What is useful for him in reaching back toward Futurism… ?" This conversation builds on “Epic Fury: the Dark Art of Defense Tech” Simon's feature for the May 2026 issue of Artforum; as well as his installation “Monsters Between Worlds” with Venkatesh Rao, which is on view in Venice as part of Palazzo Diedo's “Strange Rules” exhibition (through Nov. 21); and “Rules Based Order” in Munich, his solo show at Gallery Kraupa-Tuskany-Ziedler. https://simondenny.net/

This week, we take a look at a couple of acronyms that are soaring in popularity and ask what their widespread adoption means for mental health. Maggie Harrison Dupré of Futurism has been following the AI space closely and has an update on lawsuits related to chatbots' culpability in numerous cases of attempted and completed suicides. She also explains some recent research about why prolonged engagement with the sycophantic computer programs can lead to spiraling out of reality. Then we're joined by Dr. Thomas Rutledge for a look at drugs like Ozempic and Zepbound. While the drugs are so new that research is slim, some psychological issues can emerge, especially related to self image and identity. He asks if food cravings and thinking about food have occupied a lot of space in your mind for years, what happens when that goes away? It's a complicated world we live in, Depresh Mode is here to help you make more sense of it.

FUTURISM.COM turns “what's next?” into must-read stories. From AI and personal tech to health, medicine, and climate, Allan Davidson shows how FUTURISM.COM makes big future trends engaging, accessible, and seriously fun to explore. The post THE FUTURISM IS NOW! appeared first on sound*bytes.
The core structural shift identified is budget reallocation within technology spending, as funds are redirected from legacy software, hardware refreshes, and higher-cost labor toward AI infrastructure, automation, and junior-level hiring. This resource substitution is not additive but redistributive, with spending on AI solutions and related tools coming directly from reductions in traditional IT line items. IBM's $70 billion market valuation loss and delays in large deals signal that even established vendors are affected by this reallocation, with money leaving areas they once dominated. The primary evidence is IBM's issuance of its first profit warning since the early 2000s, attributed to missed large contracts and delayed deals, which triggered a 25% drop in share value, equating to $70 billion in market cap loss. According to Dave Sobel citing Semafor, this reduction was not due to an overall decrease in technology budgets but resulted from enterprise customers reallocating funds toward hardware and AI-related infrastructure. Omnia reported a 3.6% decline in global PC shipments during the second quarter, which was also attributed to rising hardware component costs driven by AI buildouts, causing delays and cancellations in endpoint refresh cycles. Supporting developments include Ramp and Revelio Labs research showing that organizations intensively adopting AI increased headcount by 10% and entry-level hiring by 12% over two years, while CompTIA found IT unemployment fell below 3% even as tech firms cut staff. Futurism cited further labor market reshuffling, with older workers in AI-exposed roles exiting the workforce and younger, cheaper hires being amplified by automation. ConnectWise's rollout of an AI-native platform and KPMG's survey highlighting the importance of leadership accountability in AI projects reinforce that resource allocation is shifting to tools and personnel accountable for AI operation and outcomes. Operationally, this reallocation puts pricing pressure on providers focused on legacy revenue lines such as per-seat licenses, break-fix, and hardware refresh, as these budget categories are shrinking. Evidence from Service Leadership's profitability report shows providers who adopted service desk automation earlier are now earning more per wage dollar, compounding their advantage. The practical implication for MSPs and IT service providers is to identify which client budget categories are “filling” and adjust offerings toward data readiness, AI deployment, and managed accountability, rather than defending legacy categories now facing structural decline. Failure to adapt exposes firms to revenue erosion and intensifies competitive risk from providers aligned with relocated client spend. 00:00 Watch the Money Move 04:37 AI Spend Is Funded by Substitution 07:19 Your Revenue Mix Is the Bet 10:24 Why Do We Care?
