C'est aussi une année où on a regardé la vérité en face : la dépendance aux IA américaines, ces enjeux de durabilité et de souveraineté de plus en plus centraux, la nécessité de rester positifs quand tout nous pousse vers le bas et tant d'autres sujets qu'on a adoré creuser. Dans ce hors-série, nous allons : Revenir sur les épisodes phares de 2025, de Carlos Ghosn à Ivan Zhao en passant par Esther Perel, Brian Chesky et tant d'autres Vous révéler les coulisses de nos plus grosses productions : notre voyage au Brésil, le lancement de notre série spéciale CAC 40, notre tournage en Chine et le film qui arrive en janvier (nous trépignons d'impatience) et tous nos projets vidéos en coursParler du lancement imminent de notre nouveau podcast — que nous n'avons dévoilé nulle part !

James sits down with astrophysicist Brian Keating for a candid, useful tour through three hot zones: how to think about AI (and where it actually helps), what's broken in higher ed and admissions right now, and why outsourcing your mood to politics is a losing strategy. You'll hear first-hand stories (from UC San Diego classrooms to New York City politics), specific ways James and Brian really use AI daily, and a simple framework for protecting your attention and happiness—even when everything feels polarized. What You'll Learn: How universities can leverage AI-guided curiosity to revolutionize learning, according to James Altucher's vision for "Altucher University." Why mastering communication skills—writing, speaking, negotiating—is crucial for career success, and why these skills are often neglected in traditional education. Firsthand insights into how Brian Keating and James Altucher use AI daily for research, problem-solving, and creativity, along with practical examples from their personal and professional lives. The economic and philosophical debates around AI's actual impact on industries, jobs, and the broader GDP, including its use in coding, media, and even farming. The limitations of AI and large language models in science and creative work, and why critical thinking and prompt engineering remain essential—even as technology evolves.
