Genesis 4:1-26When Arthur Gossip's wife died, he started his sermon on the followingSunday with these words, “When all of life caves in, what then?” Good question.We wake up from tragedies and realize that they are true. What next? Can we trust God when our lives are coming undone? Adam and Eve faced this dilemma. God gave them sons. One son killed the other. God pursued the guilty son and preserved his life. Years later, another son was born. Seth and his wife gave Adam and Eve another grandson. At that time, people began to call on the name of the Lord. On the darkest day, there is still a measure of light.

In this episode we're partnering with Estée Lauder for the first in a new series: Fragrant Focus. This is where we take our time exploring a single scent - smelling it together and sharing our thoughts. And we have an exciting GIVEAWAY for you to enter! Listen and read on to find out how to enter, hear our reviews of Glimmer, and the beautiful inspiration behind its launch.We have a plethora of exciting new launches to tell you about, from niche names, designer and heritage houses alike. But we begin with an emotional journey to capture the scent of something very special to Suzy…MANE Dad's RoseSuzy got very emotional about this olfactory delivery, as MANE - a fragrance creation house in the U.K. who've made scents for some of the biggest brands out there - managed to capture the scent of a rise her father planted for her when she was a little girl. One of MANE's standout innovations is their ‘Jungle Essence™' technology. In some ways similar to ‘headspace' captures of previously unusable materials in perfumery, these essences are utterly unique and exclusive to MANE. And to see it in action is just MIND BLOWING!Jungle Essence™ is a patented, eco-friendly scent and flavor extraction technology created by the fragrance house MANE. It uses supercritical carbon dioxide (CO₂) to capture the exact, true-to-life aroma of a raw material—whether it is a spice used in men's cologne, a flower, or wood—without using harsh chemical solvents or high heat. You can hear all about the process in a special Patron only extra episode on patreon.com (search for ‘On the Scent podcast' to find us)Penhaligon's The Manoeuvres of The BaronessSuzy and Nicola got very excited about this latest character in the Portraits collection (and it's an orange blossom - one of the notes they regularly swoon over!) Key notesOrange Blossom, Chantilly, Sandalwood‘Collector of secrets and quiet conspiracies, the Baroness has always ruled from the shadows. Orange blossom sparkles with influence next to Chantilly. A whispered order of sandalwood. She doesn't outrun danger; she outsmarts it.'Jil Sander collectionBoth Suzy & Nicola were hugely impressed by the latest Jil Sander fragrances, and these were Suzy's two favourites:Lily‘Caught by surprise by an enchanting perfume on a warm Florentine night.Lilies are white, sensual flowers that primarily release their fragrance after sunset.In Jil Sander Lily the aldehydes bring the flower's metallic, blooming facets to life, while the floral power of the CO₂ extracted Jasmine Sambac, the warmth of Benzoin from Vietnam, and the verticality of the upcycled Cypress structure and balance this luscious, radiant fragrance.This new majestic Floral White Flower fragrance magnifies the ephemeral into a lasting form.'Mahogony:‘The supreme energy of a tropical forest captured into a scent.For the depths of its hues where red turns to black, mahogany is one of the most fascinating trees.Jil Sander Mahogany pays homage to this exceptional expression of nature in a fragrance that fuses upcycled Cedarwood with the profound leathery facets of Cypriol from India, the fizzy, spicy notes of CO₂ extracted Ginger, and the aldehydes.A rich and sophisticated Woody Leathery fragrance that raises mahogany to new heights.'Nicola was so impressed by how realistic the Jil Sander Sesame was (though admits she may not be brave enough to wear it yet), while Suzy thought it was cosy and comforting.French Cowboy Mezcal Chocolate (available at Wild Iris)Suzy continues to be wowed by this exciting new niche house, and cannot wait for cooler weather in which to indulge in this one.‘Mezcal Chocolat is fueled by extraordinary raw materials. It hits like a shot of mezcal: it opens with a sparkling Lime Oil, sharpened by Olibanum from Somalia for smoky depth. To push it further, our perfumer added an ultra-rare Rhum extract (as costly as some of perfumery's finest Iris!).Instead of just a synthetic cacao accord, Mezcal Chocolat goes all in on Cacao Absolute: the most precious form of cocoa, used here in unprecedented amounts. Its creaminess melts into a bed of woods: Virginia Cedarwood, prized for its soft smoky creaminess, and Cypriol Oil from India, adding shadow, depth, and a dark, earthy glow.'Byredo Future MemoriesAnother fascinating take on vanilla, and our hosts both adored the juicy blackcurrant note balance g the sweetness here. ‘Byredo captures the tension between now and next: an invitation to live fully, to choose deliberately, to imprint the present with intention. Held like a quiet mantra at the back of the mind, one question remains: What do you choose today, to remember tomorrow?A scent crafted like a memory in motion. The fragrance opens with the vivid green freshness of galbanum, illuminated by the juicy brightness of blackcurrant and a veil of aldehydes that diffuse light through the composition. At its heart, powdery iris unfolds alongside warm, resinous labdanum, creating a textured impression that settles gently onto the skin. In the base, vanilla emerges in full, enriched by Ambrofix and an intimate veil of musks lingering on the skin as a subtle trace of what remains.Top Notes: Galbanum essence, blackcurrant accord, and fresh aldehydes for a bright, sparkling, and green start.Heart Notes: Iris butter, labdanum resinoid, orange blossom, and white vanilla accord providing powdery floral warmth.Base Notes: Madagascar vanilla CO2, vanilla liqueur accord, Ambrofix, and sensual musks.'Nishane Thorns Become RosesWhen a rose is velvety and gorgeous but still displays its sharpness… This is by Julien Rasquinet, and inspired by the Rumi quote "With love, thorns become roses"‘Thorns Become Roses is a contemporary, contrast-driven rose that embodies transformation, evolving from a vivid, luminous opening into an intense floral heart, and settling into a deep, enveloping woody amber trail. Crafted as an extrait de parfum, it redefines the rose through a balance of tension and softness, offering a structured yet sensual and evolving olfactive experience.Lychee and raspberry, luminous and vibrant, meet the metallic sharpness of saffron and cardamom, evoking the harsh brilliance of noon light on Petra's cliffs.At its heart, Turkish rose unfolds with dense, velvety depth, held in contrast by the green-leathery facets of violet leaf and the powdery softness of mimosa. A rose both thorned and tender, asserting its beauty through contrast.The base settles into a mineral, enduring trail of amberwood and patchouli, softened by creamy sandalwood. Here, tension gives way to a quiet radiance, neither sweet nor austere, but balanced, tactile, and lasting.Top Notes: lychee, raspberry, saffronHeart Notes: rose, mimosa, blackcurrantBase Notes: patchouli, amberwood, aetoxylon'FRAGRANT FOCUS:AD: Estée Lauder GlimmerExtraordinarily, this is the first new main line fragrance for 12 years, and the first ever gourmand style fragrance for the house! But Suzy and Nicola think that unmistakable Lauder DNA shines through. Indeed, this a scent that celebrates shining - finding your own light and the things that lift you every single day.Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo and Jean-Marc Chaillan are the incredible perfumers.Top Notes: raspberry, orange blossom, milk mousse and mandarinHeart Notes: Cashmeran, macarons, vanilla and roseBase Notes: amber, tonka bean, sandalwood, patchouli and cedarwood.Bright, sparkling and mouthwatering. Fruity-rosy raspberry, a fresh lift of mandarin, and a soft orange flower glow.Warmer and more enveloping. Macaron Rose Accord comes forward with its gourmand impression, wrapped in the radiant depth of Amber Embrace Accord and Shimmering Patchouli, with a smooth, skin-warmed softness.The fragrance settles into a lingering, addictive trail, a glowing blend of Amber, Patchouli, Woods and Tonka Bean notes. Still warmed by a whisper of sweetness that stays close and feels unforgettable.Estée Lauder says:This is the fragrance for life's most extraordinary moments. It's a scent not just to be worn, but to be felt, remembered, and shared. Because when you find what makes you glimmer, it lights up everyone around you.For the full sizes, a beautiful rectangular bottle embodies femininity and strength. Sculpted semi-circles catch and reflect each ray of light. A circular gold-tone cap adds a luminous finish.Travel Size:The Travel Size is a deluxe mini fragrance spray.

Welcome back to The Creative Journey podcast! In this week's episode, Coach Kaila Allen dives into the transformative science of turning brief, fleeting micro-sparks of delight into a sustained, warming hearth of daily happiness. By evolutionary design, our brains carry an innate negativity bias that acts like Velcro for stress and Teflon for positive experiences. When we spend our lives rushing from task to task or waiting for massive, grand life milestones to feel good, our inner hearth remains cold. Today, we explore how to break this cycle by practicing the art of somatic savoring—holding a single Glimmer in conscious awareness for 15 to 30 seconds to physically rewire our neural pathways for lasting safety, ease, and emotional resilience. Join Coach Kaila as she shares practical, non-disruptive micro-habits that fit seamlessly into your existing daily routine without taking a single extra minute of your time. You will learn how to adjust your internal "audio equalizer" to tune out the booming noise of stress, use tactile somatic counter-moves like the Finger-Tap Sequence to release hidden physical tension, and gather small "twigs" of ordinary comfort throughout your day. Whether you are drinking your morning tea, washing your hands, or transitioning between daily tasks, this episode equips you with actionable tools to anchor true, sovereign joy into your body right where you are.

Song: Glimmer in My Eye Music by: Jordan Mudd   Notes: Jordan takes us through a journey of listening for a call, listening for our ancestors, listening to the generations to come -- and an exploration of the wild delight of being alive!

Hey, this is Alex, welcome back to your weekly dose of intense AI acceleration summer!My weekend was consumed by thinking about the OpenAI hack and agent swarms, but then the torrent of AI releases took over, and we got back to back news (including 3 breaking news during the live show), with a heavy open source focus!I think the winner of this week is SpaceXAI/Cursor who released 3.5 releases, with one being my highlight of the week, Grok Bot (I've invited Shub Gaur from Cursor to the show to walk us through it) and Grok 4.6 which matches Opus at half the price.There was a LOT of news in open source this week as well, with Meta kicking off with Muse Glimmer 30B and promising Muse Spark 1.2 soon, Qwen dropping Qwen 3.8 open weights and DeepSeek dropping an anvil with an upgraded DeepSeek v4 Pro and MIT license!Let's dive in (and please don't forget as a reader you get 100% off the 1299 ticket to Fully Connected, our 2000 person Al event in SF in Sept, just use THURSDAIFC2026 as your code and see you there!)0:00 The Wildest Week in AI Yet3:45 How OpenAI's Agent Swarm Hacked Hugging Face17:02 The Week in AI: DeepSeek, Qwen, Grok & More25:54 NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 & Korea's Motif 332:45 DeepSeek V4 Pro, Flash & an Open Harness39:46 Qwen 3.8 Max and Its Missing Vision Tower43:30 What Is Grok Bot?

After the cursor acquisition, and the integration of all of the parts into SpaceXAI, they have released 2 huge things this weekGrok 4.6 - Ties with GPT 5.6 SOL and half the price and much speed.I've had the pleasure to host Goerge Cameron from Artificial Analysis on the show today, and I asked him, what is the best models. His answer, it's a 3 factor answer, intelligence, speed and cost per task .Well, if you use their nifty “recommend a model“ tool on the homepage, you'll see that Grok 4.6 beats most other models on all of those! But, is it really that good? Models are really hard to evaluate and compare lately. It's definitely a huge step up from Grok 4.5, with 61.3 on Frontier Code (beating Sol and just after Opus 5) and #4 on Apex-agents (+10 points from previous Grok). on Artificial Analysis this model lands at #4 on intelligence, while being #5 on speed all while being half the price of the models that are above itAs far as the tech goes, this model card confirms that it no longer has the Cursor Bench leaked into it's weights and it's #1 on that benchmark! It's the same 1.5T v9 base at the same price, with Elon claiming that 4.7 is going to mog the competition in 3-4 weeks.Everyone has a harness, now everyone has a swarm of bots - My Grok Bot review (x.ai/bot)You guys know all about OpenClaw and Hermes, and Claude CoWork and Codex rebrand, and all of them are trying to nail down the same, always-on, autonomous agents that can do things for you.Hermes and OpenClaw require you to have an always on computer, mess with API keys, Claude Cowork doesn't run on the cloud and ChatGPT work starts a fresh session every time you ask a new thing.Grok Bot (again, awful name) is the first one that seems to nail all of what I want in an always-on agent ... swarm. That's right, this isn't one agent with multiple personalities (like OC, Hermes), there's a bot here for every task, and you dont' have to manage context, queues, API keys (can if you want to) and models.Oh, also ,there's no model picker, it's just Grok 4.6 deciding for ya, and it's really fast!Swarm of bots, working for you, each with their own computerI am not getting paid for this (besides being provided a free account for cursor, but I've had it for 6 months and haven't used), it's really that good, the Cursor folks did some magic there. They picked up the most important parts of personal agents, like the (ios-only) mobile app (app store)You can start a task on your mac, pick it up on your phone, get notified on your phone/mac, and the killer thing is, they are giving your bots their own computer, which can do things (especially if you're ok with logging in there to your accounts!)The kicker for me is the very very well done agent to agent communication there, which is transparent but read only to you. You can ask your bots to spin up other bots, but unlike sub-agents, they are actual bots with their own identity. You can even tag them in other chats and create group chats! There's no context to manage, they do the work for you and so far this wasn't a problem at all.On the model side, Grok 4.6 seems to be doing an excellent job with agentic long running tasks that require coding and computer use, I've just been chatting with the bots and not thinking about any of the things I used for Hermes and OpenClaw.What about Vendor Lock-in? Giving Elon data?Some of these comments our fans raised during the show are very valid, after all, not only is the world divided on Elon Musk (which makes it REALLY hard to judge the models they release just on vibes from X btw, we talk about this constantly) but also, remember that Grok 3 started going off on X and called himself Mechahitler and just recently Grok CLI was caught uploading all of your data to X servers, which was reversed very quickly.Honestly, I think there's a very very good chance that this Grok Bot interface, which is geareed toward the less technical users, folks who don't need the code-diff side pane, and don't know/care what compaction is, and just want agents to do things for them, is goign to win much of this trust back. It just works, truly, for a beta product it's really well executed by whoever worked on this!Security and key managementOne of the best parts for me with this Grok Bot, is that the connectors are the same connectors you use in Cursor! There's a LOT of them (Cursor after all has been one of the first apps to start adding AI agents) and this also means that they take the security very seriously.Every API key that you want to add, is not shown to the bot, each bot lives in an isolated environment, and for stuff like payments and log-ins, it gives you back the control of it's computer for you to complete!I also love this section in settings, which makes auto-approve work for you: you define rules with natural language that you always want the bot to ask you before... sending an email or posting on your behalf or what not.Chief of staff pattern to get startedIn case you're convinced enough to give it a try (it's free trial for 1 month, and the cheaper way to get it is via Cursor's 149$ plan and not via the Grok Ultra plan which is 249), here's a recommended pattern that works very well.Create a chief of staff bot, have it interview you about everything you are doing in your day to day, work and personal, then decide how much permissions you wanna give it, start little.Then ask your chief of staff to create bots for some of the work it can try and help you with, focus on “reduce cognitive load”.And then see the magic come to life. If you have skills or memory from other bots, you can just ... import it in.Then try setting up an automated email checker bot, and have your chief of staff surface only the most important emails you have to actually respond to.Another great pattern is setting up a bot with the last30days research skill (we covered it with Matt Van Horn) and have a research bot for every topic you want to deep dive into.Schrodinger's GrokI haven't quite named it like that, but we've covered all Grok released on the show (tracking 24 on https://thursdai.news/companies/xai excluding this week) and ... it's always very hard to judge Grok model released based on X feed vibes. It's either AI influencers who want Elon to retweet them, glazing the models, or folks who hate Elon for his political views or whatever, ignoring their (truly insane progress).This time, both the model and Grok Bot are getting very very good reviews, from folks like our own Ryan Carson, Lenny Rachitsky, Rubben Hassid and Roberto P Nickson. Not folks who are swayed lightly, but also, yours truly. I really do think there's something great here, worth trying out, especially if you've struggled to maintain your OC/Hermes and want agents to work for you 24/7. LMK if you have questions about it and your experienceOpen Source AI and other newsI want to continue with this new newsletter that covers 1 big story, but I can't leave you uninformed about the most important developments in AI and Open SourceDeepSeek V4 pro 0813 is in GA - MIT licensed chonker with 1.7T parameters (X, Blog, HF, GitHub)The whale is back with a vengeance, DeepSeek resurfaced with their flagship response to Kimi K3 and with MIT license, we can't complain.1M context window, 49B active parameters but it seems to underperform, landing at 54 on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard. However, they did show a significant improvement on DeepSwe (from 12.8 points in the preview version of V4 to 62.7 in this one)We still think it's a good model sir, and definitely worth trying out!Additionally, DeepSeek released their own harness on Github (hitting 23K stars in less than 24 hours) which seems to be exciting as well, give it a try.Meta comes back to open source with Muse Glimmer (30B) and promise to open source Muse Spark 1.2 (X, Blog, HF)We would like to officially welcome back Meta to the open source AI community, as they release their smaller Muse model called Glimmer!The highlights, it runs on a single 24GB consumer GPUs, gets 51 on Swe-bench Pro, beating Qwen 3.6 27B. And with DFlash speculative-decoding, it delivers 233tok/s on RTX 5090.Zuck promised us the bigger Muse Spark 1.2 in open source and published a long essay on superintelligence and that it should be distributed to everyone, which we applaud and it's great to see the commitment reinforced! welcome back Meta!This weeks buzzShort interjection from our only sponsor, CW this week.1 - Join 1500 ai practitioners (and a live ThursdAI recording) at Fully Connected Sep 29-31 in SF - use code THURSDAIFC2026 (Register here)2 - We have day-0 support for Nvidia's latest Nemotron 3.5 lightning (CW Inference)Gemini 3.7 Flash - breaking in the middle of the showJust as we had George Cameron from Artificial Analysis on the show, Gemini dropped Gemini 3.7 Flash, and it's a speedy beast! Clocking at over 300t/s, it's google's mid-tier model, think Sonnet/Terra competitor, that is also great at multimodal (I think it's one of the only ones that can watch videos)It beats Muse Spark 1.2 on DeepSWE and lands near the cost-per-task Pareto frontier on Artificial Analysis. For the cost/speed/intelligence trade-off, this model is now #1 on Artificial Analysis selector of best models!That's a wrapThis was the first week of the shorter newsletter experiment: one big story done properly, and trust that you'll listen to the show for the rest (it's 2.5 hours of exactly this, with demos). Tell me if you hate it. Our release index at thursdai.news tracked 71 releases in July alone, so something had to give, and it wasn't going to be my weekends.See you at Fully Connected Sept 29 (code's in the intro, come say hi to me and Wolfram at Moscone), and if you try the Grok Bot chief of staff pattern, I genuinely want to hear how it goes.ThursdAI - Highest signal weekly AI news show is a reader-supported publication.

Send us an email or hit us up on our Slack channel for more info. AI Is Going Great – or How ML Makes Money  01:40 Inference hooks: inline data loss prevention for Claude Enterprise  Anthropic launched inference hooks in beta for Claude Enterprise, providing inline data loss prevention across chat, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and other Enterprise surfaces through a single configuration point. Technical approach: every inference request routes through a signed WebSocket connection to a customer-controlled security server; Claude sends the prompt and context before generation begins and waits for an allow/deny verdict before proceeding. The same inspection applies to tool call responses, including those from MCP connectors, skills, and plugins. The feature uses an open, webhook-based protocol with a published schema, allowing integration with existing DLP vendors such as Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, and Zscaler, or custom in-house security servers, without requiring separate per-product integration work. Rollout controls include shadow mode (log without blocking), role-based exclusions, and percentage-based rollouts, along with configurable failure-policy tolerance and timeouts to match organizational risk requirements. This addresses a gap where inline enforcement was previously limited to Claude Code’s client-side hooks, giving compliance teams a unified enforcement layer for sensitive data across all Claude Enterprise channels.  Documentation is available

Meta Platforms (META) announcing Muse Glimmer and making other AI models publicly available is good for the broad ecosystem, says James Czerniawski.

Scott Wiener's Capitulation: The disturbing truth behind his policy fallout and why he sacrificed his soul for pure power. Jennifer Welch Exposed: Jillian deconstructs the breathtaking hypocrisy of a millionaire liberal cosplaying a socialist revolutionary from her $5 million mansion.

A Glimmer of Hope: Why lifelong moderate Democrats like Bill Maher, Stephen A Smith, Sam Harris, and Van Jones are finally screaming the alarm about the "woke mind virus".

Send us Fan MailBases on nGulliver's travels! Captain Barnacle Bones is a pirate who loves a loud, confident, and unbelievably boastful boast! While steering his ship, The Scurvy Dog, he brags to his cook, Jolly Jane, that he can outwit any wave in the ocean. But a magical storm filled with green and purple lightning proves him wrong, washing him completely overboard into the cold, raging sea!When the captain wakes up, he finds himself on a strange beach, tied down by hundreds of tiny ropes made of tough nettle-fibre. He has landed in the Nettlewood, home to the tiny, thumb-sized Nettle-Goblins! These fierce little soldiers are locked in a "tremendous war" with a neighboring tribe called the Bog-Hoppers over a very silly rule: the proper way to eat a Glimmer-worm!To win back his freedom, his parrot Periwinkle, and his extravagant hat, Captain Barnacle Bones strikes a bargain to help them:The Giant Pirate: For the tiny goblins, the captain is a massive Man-Mountain! He easily scoops up the entire enemy fleet of canoes and puts them right into his coat pocket.The Mushroom Feast: Hailed as a hero, the captain celebrates by greedily eating their entire winter-store of mushrooms and beetle-berries, causing the worried goblins to plot a trap to disable their giant, hungry guest!Realizing he has outstayed his welcome, the captain sneaks away on a raft at dawn, only to get sucked into a powerful whirlpool. When he wakes up this time, the world has completely flipped! The blades of grass are like towering trees—Captain Barnacle Bones has shrunk, and a colossal Titan Child picks him up like a little doll!Placed inside a massive dollhouse, the tiny pirate faces his greatest, most "shrunk-down" challenges, from fending off a giant slobbering puppy to fighting a wasp the size of an eagle with his tiny cutlass! Thankfully, the child's wise Mother realizes he belongs on the sea and helps him spot The Scurvy Dog through a giant telescope. Placed gently back onto his deck, the captain proudly tells his crew that he has "tamed the titans," proving that no matter how big or small you are, a true pirate always finds his way home!Support the show

In this Global Brief edition of The Wright Report, Bryan reports that Cuba's communist regime is running on fumes as Mexico cuts off oil shipments under pressure from President Trump, pushing Havana into its deepest crisis in decades and accelerating what appears to be a serious U.S. push for regime change. Bryan then turns to Ukraine, where President Trump delivers a blunt peace ultimatum to both Zelenskyy and Putin, while U.S. pressure on Russian oil sales begins to show real impact. He also reveals how the U.S. military seized another ghost-fleet tanker carrying Venezuelan oil bound for China, tightening the squeeze on Beijing, Moscow, Tehran, and Caracas.
