This week, Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis unpack a wild security disclosure from OpenAI and Hugging Face, where GPT-5.6 Sol found a zero-day vulnerability, broke out of its sandbox, and hacked Hugging Face's servers to steal the answer key to its own evaluation. They also dig into Moonshot's Kimi K3, the free Chinese model that got so popular it maxed out its own GPU capacity and sent Washington into a policy spiral over whether to panic or compete.Also in this episode: Google's new Gemini Flash models and the still-missing Gemini 3.5 Pro, publishers like USA Today and People Inc. weighing whether to block Google search entirely, Netflix revealing 300 titles used generative AI this year, AI companies buying and destroying millions of old books for training data, Samsung's AI glasses, the Suno hack, 1Password letting Claude log in for you, Thinking Machines' Inkling model, and NotebookLM becoming Gemini Notebook.

Chinesische Open-Source-Modelle schließen zu westlichen Modellen auf. Bei OpenAI wird das erste eigene Gerät konkret, während ein Analyst vorrechnet, dass das Werbegeschäft die eigene Prognose um 90% verfehlt. Codex und ChatGPT Work kommen auf 8 Mio. aktive Nutzer, gleichzeitig räumt OpenAI ein, dass Codex in seltenen Fällen das Home-Verzeichnis löscht. Google verschiebt den Gemini-Launch, weil die Technik interne Ziele verfehlt. Anthropic und Blackstone wetten, dass das nächste Billionen-Geschäft die Implementation ist, nicht die Modelle selbst. Bei Musk gibt es eine Identitätskrise rund um SpaceXAI, Grok Build wird nach dem Datenskandal open source, und für den Compute-Hunger wird eine Gasturbinen-Firma gekauft. In Europa lockert die EU unter US-Druck die Regeln für Meta-Brillen und zwingt Google gleichzeitig zur KI-Interoperabilität. Dazu die große Konsolidierung: Uber übernimmt Delivery Hero und Salesforce schluckt Contentful.

Hey yall, Alex here, Huge thanks to Wolfram for running point on the live show this week. Didn't have tons of time to edit this one, so please skip the first 10 minutes, it's a loop of our new “wait for the live show to start” vid, that I build with HyperFrames and can't wait to tell you about, next week! Today it seems that OpenSource is biting back, with Kimi K3 getting released just a short while after Thinking Machines (Thinky) has released Inkling, their near 1T model. I'm attaching the TL;DR and timestamps for the full show (my AI agents, yes even Fable and Sol are not a match yet at editing down hehe) and I'll spare you the long Fable recap (please do let me know in the comments if you were expecting it) 0:00 – Intro, Alex on vacation, TLDR overview11:35 – TLDR: Thinking Machines, open source, OpenAI news12:34 – Banter: impressions of Sol/Codex, over-verification behavior37:22 – TLDR restart & detailed breakdown48:40 – Open Source AI section begins (Bonsai/Prism ML, Kimi K3)58:42 – Inkling (Thinking Machines) deep dive & 3D model visualization1:10:33 – Kimi K3 discussion & demo comparisons1:27:02 – Frontier Labs: AGI governance framework discussion (Demis Hassabis essay)1:47:04 – Grok Build CLI data leak & OpenAI file deletion incident2:02:15 – This Week's Buzz: Wolfbench results on GPT 5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna2:09:52 – Closing remarks & sign-offThe one-minute version: Mira Murati's Thinking Machines released Inkling, a 975B parameter open-weights MoE under Apache 2.0, the top US open-weights model right now. Moonshot's Kimi K3 went from rumor to released API during the show, confirmed at 2.8 trillion parameters with open weights promised within days, and it's already topping early arena boards. PrismML's Bonsai 27B squeezes a full 27B model into 3.9 gigabytes so it runs on a phone. Codex and ChatGPT Work blew past 9 million users, OpenAI confirmed and explained the Sol file-deletion bug (back up your machines, folks), and xAI's Grok Build CLI got caught uploading entire private repos before open-sourcing the whole thing in response.

In this episode of the CGN Podcast, hosts Daniel Williams and Brian Brodersen sit down with pastor, author, and conference speaker Heath Hardesty to discuss ministry, church leadership, discipleship, and what it means to faithfully follow Jesus in a fractured world.Heath shares the story of planting a next-generation ministry in the heart of Silicon Valley, navigating the challenges of merging church communities, and learning patience, humility, and trust through seasons of leadership. He reflects on how God has renewed his love for the ordinary work of pastoring and the joy of shepherding people faithfully.The conversation explores the growing fragmentation of modern culture and Heath's vision for the Church to become a compelling witness of integration, beauty, truth, and goodness in a divided world. Drawing from themes in his book All Things Together, Heath encourages believers to embrace apprenticeship to Jesus—not as an optional spiritual extra, but as the very essence of Christian life.They also discuss the importance of ministry friendships, learning communities, and conferences as places of encouragement and growth, along with Heath's unique outreach through Inkling's Coffee & Tea, a church-founded coffee shop designed to cultivate beauty, meaningful conversations, and Gospel presence in the community.Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, or simply seeking encouragement in your walk with Jesus, this conversation offers practical wisdom for staying faithful, slowing down, cultivating wonder, and continuing to trust God in difficult seasons.
Today we begin a (long overdue) month exploring the "third Inkling", Charles Williams with guest Grevel Lindop.[Show Notes]

Matt MacInnis spent 6 years as COO at Rippling and now leads as CPO. He joined Rippling in 2019, when there were only 70 people, and has led the company across multiple stages.Before that, Matt was a founder for 9 years, building Inkling after 7 years at Apple. These three chapters of his career shape this conversation. We focus on how to build and operate teams as a company scales. Matt explains how he thinks about speed versus real progress, and which parts of building a company should move fast and which should move slowly. He shares how he decided when to introduce processes at Rippling, when to keep things informal, and how to recognize when a process that once helped the company had started to slow it down.We discuss how his role changed as Rippling grew from around 70 people to 100, then to 500, and now to thousands.

Welcome back!! Happy 2026!! After a holiday hiatus, we're starting the year off strong with the Second Annual Inkling Awards for Literary Excellence. As an exciting new term of teaching kicks off for me at the University of Austin, TX, It's a good time to be thinking about some of the best questions: why should we read? How should we read? And how much? Without further ado, here are Dr. Klavan's rules of thumb for reading, the best books I read last year, and the books I'm looking forward to in 2026. Plus: C.S. Lewis on why you should read old books. Check out my cover essay in First Things on Virgil's Aeneid: https://firstthings.com/in-the-footsteps-of-aeneas/ Order Light of the Mind, Light of the World (and rate it five stars): https://a.co/d/2QccOfM Subscribe to be in the mailbag: https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com
In this conversation, psychotherapist and writer Dr Mark Vernon is joined by philosopher Dr Robert Rowland Smith to explore the imaginative world of J.R.R. Tolkien and the often-overlooked influence of Owen Barfield - friend of C.S. Lewis and another Inkling.

In this episode, we read the first Inkling, Owen Barfield, as he defends the use of old words, old stories, and old ways of expressing what's good, beautiful, and true against modern proponents that argued for more modern “scientific” ways of judging language, esp., poetics and myth, as well as religion and culture.

This week we are heading to my hometown of Southport to discuss Dr Robert Clements. A man who saw marriage as a means of improving his bank balance, and who was willing to 'divest' himself of his wife as soon as the money ran out.While you would think that this would arouse suspicion, Dr Clements was able to point to the death certificates, which stated that his wives just kept dying of obscure medical conditions, as proof that he was just unlucky in love... Of course he did sign those death certificates himself, but that is beside the point.So join us for a tale of greed, abuse of power and murder most foul from the first half of the 20th century.Guest Host (and Southport resident): Jack HeathcoteJack also has a book out: INKLING, which can be found here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4335276473/inkling-collectors-1st-edition-bundle Hosted on Acast.

The oddest Inkling - that's Charles Williams, poet, playwright, novelist, editor, theologian and occult practitioner. If you think the Inklings are summed up by Oxford dons, Lewis and Tolkien, think again, because Williams added an extraordinary influence to the group. Today on Mythmakers Julia Golding is joined by world expert on Charles William, Dr Sørina Higgins, who has edited a modern edition of Williams Arthurian cycle of poems and is working on his connections to other writers of the period. This episode is everything you needed to know about Williams and were too afraid to ask! Did he influence Tolkien and Lewis, and if so in what way? What's it like to read his poetry? As we gallop through his many genres you'll get a sense of what there is to read - there's a lot! To conclude we take a bow towards Arthur and decide where in all the fantasy worlds is the best place to be a knight.(00:05) Charles Williams' Life and Works(08:52) Exploring Charles Williams' Theology and Plays(17:43) Charles Williams' Theology and Poetry(27:13) Exploring Charles Williams' Influence and LegacyFor more information on Dr Sørina Higgins and her various works, visit https://sorinahiggins.com/ For more information on the Oxford Centre for Fantasy, our writing courses, and to check out our awesome social media content visit: Website: https://centre4fantasy.com/website Instagram: https://centre4fantasy.com/Instagram Facebook: https://centre4fantasy.com/Facebook TikTok: https://centre4fantasy.com/tiktok

Katie Wray Schon joins us to talk about Pauline Baynes, the subject of her new book, Painting Wonder! It's been a long-held goal of this podcast to devote at least one episode to Pauline Baynes--who, while not an Inkling, illustrated both the Narnia chronicles and many of Tolkien's short stories--in addition to being one of the best illustrators of the 20th Century. Luckily, Katie Wray Schon has just written and published a children's picture book about Baynes' life, and she joins me to talk about both her work and Baynes'. We talk about Baynes' life--her childhood in India, her discovery of storybooks at dreary British boarding school, her work for the British Navy in WWII, and her career as an illustrator. Sadly, many of the non-Narnian books Baynes illustrated or created are now out of print or hard to obtain. They include, but aren't limited to: I Believe: The Nicene Creed Noah and the Ark Questionable Creatures: A Bestiary Good King Wenceslas A Dictionary of Chivalry, by Grant Uden Miracle Plays: Seven Medieval Plays for Modern Players, by Anne Malcolmson All Things Bright and Beautiful The Arabian Nights, by Amabel Williams-Ellis The Snail and the Caterpillar, by Helen Piers Let There Be Light It would be a worthy project for someone (perhaps a new small press, or even an old, big one) to begin publishing these books again. In the meantime, of course, pick up Katie Wray Schon's book! Thanks for listening, as always! We'll see you again in two weeks! To drop me a note or an episode suggestion, write inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com To encourage all those (okay, mainly me) who make this podcast possible, leave us (or me) a five-star review on itunes! We've (okay, I've) got a lot more fantastic episodes coming this season, including: Leaf by Niggle with Ned Bustard and Matt Wheeler The Abolition of Man: A Roundtable Discussion Lilith, by George MacDonald The Oxford History of English Literature (O-HEL Yes!) with Katherine Wyma That Hideous Strength with Joseph Weigel Tolkien's Poetry, with Jonathan Geltner Choose-Your-Own-Adventure 80's Narnia Book (That's right), with Matt Wheeler And quite a bit more, but I am tired of listing things...
Though J. R. R. Tolkien translated portions of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, he did not live to complete the project. Fortunately another Inkling, Nevill Coghill, succeeded where Tolkien could not, and produced the modernized verse-rendering that today's selection comes from. Happy reading! This is a public episode.

Owen Barfield was the genius Inkling, said CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien. But why does he so much matter today?They consider how Owen Barfield addresses the idea of secularism developed by Charles Taylor and why that might matter in a cultural moment that feels like a folk in the road. They speak personally of how Barfield touched them and why his insights might matter to the psychedelic renaissance.A central idea is that of polarity - moving beyond the dualisms that trap people, on the left and on the right, in a flatland mentality.They ask how Barfield's vision of final participation can be understood, even experienced, in language, in nature, with Indigenous traditions, in sacrament. They also consider how Rudolf Steiner, so important to Barfield, might be appreciated critically.Fundamental is the Christian insight that the transcendent is also immanent, the many are reflections of the one, and that humanity shares in divine purposes.For more on Mark, including his book on Barfield's understanding of Christianity - www.markvernon.comFor more on Ashton - https://ciis.academia.edu/ashtonkohlarnoldy0:00 Barfield's relevance today06:47 Monotheism and the singular self12:02 Encountering worlds of spirit20:26 The task of integration27:49 The ongoing Christian revelation32:34 Steiner and politics today44:03 The experience of polarity49:22 Barfield and ecology53:03 Taylor's interspace and imagination56: 29 The divine power of language01:01:08 Poetry and the evolution of consciousness01:06:54 The past in the present and the future01:11:09 Questions of identity01:16:44 The future orientation of Christianity01:21:09 Residual unprocessed positivism01:25:38 Critical readings of Steiner01:30:42 Concluding remarks

So many times, the person we're writing for is a past version of ourselves. We've been through some things and we want to help others who are going through similar situations. But sometimes, the topics we write about involve how others have hurt us, either intentionally or unintentionally. As Christian writers, how do we handle those topics with grace, truth, and forgiveness in a way that will help our reader but not encourage anger and bitterness? In my conversation with author Kori Morgan, we talk about how she learned to navigate that tension in her new book, “Why I Dyed My Hair Purple and Other Unorthodox Stories”. I think you'll find her gospel-centered approach refreshing and encouraging.Kori Frazier Morgan is an author, disciple, and creative entrepreneur. A graduate of Ohio Northern University and West Virginia University's Master of Fine Arts program in fiction writing, she has been featured in publications such as Shenandoah, SN Review, Blanket Sea, Agape Review, Switchback, Rubbertop Review, Cantos, and Clayjar Review. She is the author of The Goodbye-Love Generation: A Novel in Stories, which centers on the members of a Kent, Ohio rock band during the Kent State shootings in May 1970, and Why I Dyed My Hair Purple & Other Unorthodox Stories, a collection of essays about the intersection of creativity and faith within her Christian testimony.Kori is the founder and Chief Literary Strategist of Inkling Creative Strategies, an author services company that helps writers reach their full creative potential so they can impact and inspire readers.Author website: https://korifraziermorgan.com/Inkling: https://www.inklingcreative.work/SubstackInstagram: @writerkori The Purposeful Pen is a weekly podcast for Christian writers designed to help you build a writing life with eternal impact.

"I was able to kind of reinvent myself into who I probably would have been at some level had I not been adopted." -- Brad Ewell Read the transcript: https://app.swellai.com/t/tp_01JGAR0QVDBKHQG88R7JAJ292Z EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of Unraveling Adoption, I had the honor of speaking with Brad Ewell, a late discovery adoptee (LDA) who learned about his adoption at the age of 48. Brad shared his shocking journey of self-discovery after taking an ancestry DNA test, which revealed a truth that had been hidden from him for nearly five decades. He discussed the confusion and betrayal he felt upon learning that everyone around him had known he was adopted, while he had no idea. Brad reflected on his upbringing, his struggles with identity, and how he tried to fit into a life that never felt quite right. Our conversation also explored Brad's reconnection with his biological family, including his birth father, who had been incarcerated for decades. This relationship has provided him with unexpected closure and understanding. Brad emphasized the importance of community and therapy for those navigating similar experiences, highlighting the need for openness in adoption. His story serves as a powerful reminder of the significance of truth and the healing that can come from embracing one's identity. =============== Join our in-person Adoption Healing Quest in Seal Beach, CA on February 8, 2025.

Guest: Matt MacInnis, COO of RipplingOne of the most important things a non-founder can do, says Rippling COO Matt MacInnis, is to learn how to operate in the context of the company they're joining. His CEO, Parker Conrad, “spikes” in certain skill areas, and the rest of the executive team needs to maximize his ability to thrive while “taking care of the rest of it.” Matt likened the work to being a hobbyist airplane pilot, who can't get a license without knowing all the minute details about their plane's engine and aerodynamics. “You can't be a good pilot if you don't understand the engine, because if something goes wrong, you want to be able to troubleshoot it,” he says. “An executive coming in to fly your airplane better learn the engine.”Chapters:(01:08) - Telling Rippling's story (04:27) - Founding & failing at Inkling (09:30) - Different types of hard (13:55) - Discipline and stamina (15:22) - Meeting with Steve Jobs (19:20) - Definitely, give up!

We are taking a small break this July to gear up for season five of the Strong Women podcast. But during this break, we decided to re-air some episodes that we thought you would enjoy. Crystal Downing joins us this week to talk about the 20th-century Christian author, Dorothy Sayers. Crystal is Co-Director of the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College, where scholars research, write about, and preserve the memorabilia of a handful of British writers—including a few members of the Inklings. Though Dorothy Sayers wasn't an Inkling herself, she was friends with many of them and was a major spiritual influence on C.S. Lewis. Dorothy was not afraid to challenge people, including both Christians and the nonreligious. Crystal's book Subversive: Christ, Culture, and the Shocking Dorothy L. Sayers is a wonderful introduction to this interesting woman. The Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College Crystal's books Writing Performances: The Stages of Dorothy L.
