M.G. Siegler is the author of Spyglass. He joins Big Technology podcast for the latest of our first Monday of the month discussion about Big Tech strategy and AI. Today we cover Mark Zuckerberg's vision for personal superintelligence and whether it's more of a recruiting play or a real difference in the way the company builds AI. We also cover the massive bets on AI and whether they'll ever pay off, how interlinked big tech is with AI, and whether you should outsource your writing to AI. --- Enjoying Big Technology Podcast?

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning, in the wake of Elon Musk's xAI Grok chatbot turning anti-Semitic following a recent update, Razib catches up with Nikolai Yakovenko about the state of AI in the summer of 2025. Nearly three years after their first conversations on the topic, the catch up, covering ChatGPT's release and the anticipation of massive macroeconomic transformations driven by automation of knowledge-work. Yakovenko is a former professional poker player and research scientist at Google, Twitter (now X) and Nvidia (now the first $4 trillion company). With more than a decade on the leading edge computer science, Yakovenko has been at the forefront of the large-language-model revolution that was a necessary precursor to the rise of companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity, as well as hundreds of smaller startups. Currently, he is the CEO of DeepNewz, an AI-driven news startup that leverages the latest models to retrieve the ground-truth on news-stories. Disclosure: Razib actively uses and recommends the service and is an advisor to the company. Razib and Yakovenko first tackle why Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is offering individual pay packages north of $200 million, poaching some of OpenAI's top individual contributors. Yakovenko observes that it seems Meta is giving up on its open-source Llama project, their competitor to the models that underpin OpenAI and ChatGPT (he also comments that it seems that engineers at xAI are disappointed in the latest version of Grok). Overall, though the pay-packages of AI engineers and researchers are high; there is now a big shakeout as massive companies with the money and engineering researchers pull away from their competitors. Additionally, in terms of cutting-edge models, the US and China are the only two international players (Yakovenko notes parenthetically that Chinese engineers are also the primary labor base of American AI firms). They also discuss how it is notable that almost three years after the beginning of the current booming repeated hype-cycles of artificial intelligence began to crest, we are still no closer to “artificial general intelligence” and the “intelligence super-explosion” that Ray Kurzweil has been predicting for generations. AI is partially behind the rise of companies like Waymo that are on the verge of transforming the economy, but overall, even though AI is still casting around for its killer app, big-tech has fully bought in and believes that the next decade will determine who wins the future.

Meta's shares jumped more than 10 per cent off the back of better than expected second-quarter earnings, and the Federal Reserve held rates steady despite calls to lower borrowing rates by US President Donald Trump. Plus, American copper prices fell after Trump exempted refined materials from a 50 per cent tariff on the metal, and HSBC profits declined by 29 per cent.

Mark Zuckerberg just published a major essay on Meta's vision for “Personal Superintelligence,” claiming their AI is beginning to show signs of self-improvement. This follows Meta's aggressive talent push, with billion-dollar offers to AI researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic—many of which are being declined. Zuckerberg contrasts competitors by promoting superintelligence as a tool for personal empowerment, not just labor automation and UBI. Reactions are mixed: some praise the individual focus, while others question whether Meta's ad-driven model can deliver—or if it's quietly retreating from open source commitments.Ask GPT about our Agent Readiness Audits - ⁠https://bit.ly/supersuperagent⁠Brought to you by:KPMG – Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kpmg.com/ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blitzy.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to build enterprise software in days, not months AGNTCY - The AGNTCY is an open-source collective dedicated to building the Internet of Agents, enabling AI agents to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across frameworks.

Send us a textStan Gregor, the dynamic CEO of Summit Financial, reveals how his firm achieved an extraordinary tenfold growth in just eight years, building a $25 billion wealth management powerhouse by doing what others claimed was impossible.At the heart of Summit's remarkable success lies a revolutionary approach to culture. Rather than adopting traditional employer-employee relationships, Gregor implemented what he calls the "family business model" — treating partners as family members rather than subordinates. "Build a business as if you're doing it with your children," he explains, eliminating bureaucratic middle management layers that filter truth and stifle innovation.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Gregor shares a pivotal moment that shaped his leadership philosophy. After spotting a subway advertisement that read, "If it wasn't for sports, people would not believe in miracles," he embraced the mindset that seemingly impossible challenges became his greatest motivation. "Every time somebody told me, 'Stan, your ideas are so crazy they're not going to work,' that's the adrenaline shot in the arm that makes you want to prove them wrong."Greger distinguishes between what he calls "C players" and "O players" in business. Most people create what he terms "the C factor" — they draw the letter C but never complete the circle. True innovators like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg draw the full "O" by focusing on complete execution. This commitment to excellence helped Summit grow from $4 billion to over $25 billion in just four years, particularly thriving through the COVID-19 pandemic when other firms struggled.Looking beyond financial success, Gregor emphasizes the importance of balancing mental health, physical wellness, and spiritual connection in leadership. His guidance for aspiring professionals? "Do not take a job just to make money. Whatever you do in life, make it a purpose to do something that you truly will enjoy — and then make sure you are financially rewarded for that."Discover more about Summit Financial's innovative approach at summitfinancial.com, where they continue to redefine wealth management through their five specialized divisions.To Learn more about Stan: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stan-gregor-2113465 To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

Beleggers van farmaceut Novo Nordisk zijn afvallig. Het aandeel wordt gedumpt, want de directie komt met misselijkmakend nieuws. Er is voor de tweede keer dit jaar een winstwaarschuwing en als toetje komt daar nog een omzetwaarschuwing bovenop.De verkoop van de afvalprikken van Novo Nordisk vallen tegen. Concurrent Eli Lilly doet het beter. Alleen profiteert het aandeel van de concurrent niet van de neergang van Novo Nordisk. Sterker nog: die gaat ook hard onderuit. Beleggers denken namelijk dat de hele sector overdreven is.Daar hebben we het deze aflevering over. Is de markt voor afvalmedicatie niet gewoon een hype?Hoor je ook over heel veel ander nieuws, want het was een drukke beursdag. Philips bijvoorbeeld, dat hield een zegetocht op de Amsterdamse beurs. Eens géén winstwaarschuwing voor Philips, maar juist een opwaardering voor de winst. Een bedankje daarvoor kan naar het Witte Huis.Waar dan geen muziek in zit, is Spotify. De streamer stelt teleur en dat is heel lang geleden. Er komen meer abonnees bij, maar Spotify maakt onverwachts verlies.Verder in deze aflevering: De Britten hebben een betere deal de EU. Keir Starmer blijkt goede dealmaker Alfen vindt een nieuwe ceo Jerome Powell kan opgelucht ademhalen: Fed-vergaderingen hoeven niet openbaar ECB-werknemers happen juist naar adem. Lagarde zou werksfeer verpesten Kwartaalcijfers van Basic-Fit blijken niet echt fit See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We hebben er lang op moeten wachten, maar het is eindelijk zover: er ligt een deal tussen de VS en de EU. Wat begon als een golftripje van Donald Trump naar Schotland eindigde in top-overleg met Ursula von der Leyen. Samen vertelden ze met een glimlach wat de uitkomst van de onderhandelingen is. Maar of beleggers diezelfde glimlach moeten hebben, dat is nog maar de vraag. Want in het rijtje aan eisen en voorwaarden staan vooral voordelen voor de VS. Heeft Europa zichzelf gered van een doemscenario, of heeft het overhaast een deal willen bereiken? Die vraag beantwoorden we deze aflevering voor je. Dan hoor je ook uitgebreid wie er in de huidige deal de grote winnaars en verliezers zijn. En wat er in de komende maanden nog kan gaan veranderen. Daarnaast hebben we het ook over een andere mega-deal. Twee bedrijven die er slecht voorstaan bundelen de krachten, om allebei hun eigen concurrenten weer aan te kunnen. Tesla en Samsung gaan voor 16,5 miljard dollar met elkaar in zee. Tesla betaalt daarmee een groot deel van een investering in een nieuwe chipfabriek van Samsung terug. En Samsung belooft de volgende generatie AI-chips voor Tesla te maken. En we vertellen je over de foute inschatting van Heineken. Dat presenteert met trots de halfjaarcijfers, maar dondert naar beneden op de beurs. Beleggers maken zich zorgen om de dalende verkoopvolumes. Waarom heeft de topman die zorgen niet?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Corbin and Matt talk about THE SOCIAL NETWORK, David Fincher's (And also Aaron Sorkin's) parable about the fouding of Facebook and the terrible dream of what felt like was coming next. Topics include: capital and moral hazard, the Winkelvosses and Eduardo, the movie's make believe version of Zuckerberg, Fincher setting the palate for the future by accident, and a bunch of other stuff. I dont know if you can see but this episode is very long. Corbin recc. Ellis recc. Next episode is about "Certified Copy." Have a good day!

[previously in series: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] It is eerily silent in San Francisco tonight. Since Mayor Lurie's crackdown, the usual drug hawkers, catcallers, and street beggars are nowhere to be seen. Still, your luck can't last forever, and just before you reach your destination a man with bloodshot eyes lurches towards you. You recognize him and sigh. "Go away!" you shout. "Hey man," says Mark Zuckerberg, grabbing your wrist. "You wanna come build superintelligence at Meta? I'll give you five million, all cash." "I said go away!" "Ten million plus a Lambo," he counters. "I don't even know anything about AI!" you say. "I'll pay you fifty million to learn." “F@$k off!”

Subscribe to one of the paid tiers on the PPM Patreon to access "AmerIsraeli Yarvin of Lead" in its entirety: patreon.com/ParaPowerMappingPicking our AmerIsraeli Years of Lead & PayPal Mafia Occupied Gov't investigation back up, we begin by synopsizing some of the basics of Curtis Yarvin's Neoreactionary (NRx) politics. We then move into an incomplete parapower mapping of his influence on the current Trump administration and their PayPal Mafia benefactors, illustrating how Elon's DOGE is the direct successor of Yarvin's RAGE concept. We detail how his Thiel backed distributed message board software Urbit is basically a repackaging of Usenet. We then shift gears into into the ironic psychodrama of Yarvin's advocacy for a government bureaucracy-purging coup by virtue of his father Herbert's multi-decade "Foreign Service" career. This brings us to one of the primary fulcrums of this investigation, the reasonable-but-thus-far unverifiable suspicion that Herbert Yarvin may have actually been a CIA officer/agent or analyst under diplomatic cover, and the reality that, either way, Curtis Yarvin is a kind of spooky deep state nepo-baby, context that should reorient perspectives when it comes to his pseud career as a theorist of “Cathedral” disruption.We then gloss some evidence supporting Herbert-Yarvin-as-Company-man by way of his Brown University Philosophy program peer Arnold Cusmariu, who worked as an philosophical analyst for the agency for more than 3 decades, much of which overlapped with Yarvin's Foreign Service career. We layout how a PoliSci faculty member named Lyman Kirkpatrick, who happened to be former top brass at the CIA and a onetime DCI hopeful, attempted to recruit Arnold Cusmariu in the ‘70s, showing that there is a high probability that Curtis Yarvin's Dad and Arnold knew each other by way of their shared thesis faculty advisor Ernest Sosa, increasing the chances they may have been part of the same Company cohort (we also hint at the void of evidence supporting Curtis' Mom's purported State career, which could be suspicious in its own right).We then discuss how both Curtis and his brother Norman were “gifted & talented” students and the recipients of scholarships from the State Department and that Curtis even partook in this groundbreaking longitudinal Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth at Johns Hopkins as a preteen, which was administered by the Godfather of the nationwide gifted ed programs of the late ‘80s, ‘90s, and early ‘00s... Which is intriguing considering some of Yarvin's fellow alumni Precocious Math study alumni are Epstein affiliate Sergey Brin (2 months younger than Curtis) and Mark Zuckerberg. We also examine his child prodigy escapades through the prism of online rumors that GATE was basically a covert CIA mind control talent search. We draw some loose deep politics comparisons to figures like Michael Riconosciuto, Ted Kaczynski, Jack Sarfatti, and the strategy of tension theorists.

Lately, tech companies like Meta have been putting hundreds of billions toward building new data centers to power their AI ambitions. Some communities have been pushing back, however, arguing these facilities strain local resources. But demand for data centers isn't expected to slow down anytime soon. On the show today, Landon Marston, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech, explains what data centers actually are, why they require so much energy and water to operate, and how they can affect nearby communities. Plus, how can data centers become more sustainable?Later, reflections on Medicaid cuts and the power of journaling.

Your thoughts on the kiss-cam episodeAndrew Ross Sorkin's note yesterday about Andy Byron, the C.E.O. of a tech start-up caught on camera with a colleague from H.R. at a Coldplay concert, struck a nerve with DealBook readers, who have flooded our inbox with responses: “The moment seems to encapsulate the pervasive schadenfreude within our culture, especially our office culture, and a deep-seated animosity toward bosses and colleagues,” Andrew wrote. “It highlights a zero-sum mentality in which a colleague's success is perceived as your loss, and their failure your gain.” He added that, “The incident also underscores our surveillance state.”Here's what readers had to say:“The surveillance state is a bit aggressive of a take on this. They were lovingly embracing at a concert during a love song while the kiss cam was on the prowl.” — Bob McMurtry“The public is not just reacting to someone else's misfortune, it is reacting to the utter hypocrisy revealed yet again by those in power who dictate rules that others should follow, yet arrogantly disregard following them themselves. Employees endure hours of H.R. training on the impropriety of workplace relationships, especially between manager and subordinate, yet the actual HEAD of H.R. engages in an affair with her married C.E.O. Do you not see the specific irony of this outing?” — Jim Woidat“I don't think we commoners' resentment of C.E.O.s is so much about jealousy as it is about pay inequality (their pay rate today vs. what it was a few decades ago) and stuff like golden parachutes.” — Tom EshbaughWhat nobody is talking about:Before the kisscam: 12 executives (11 men and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot); 6 directors (all men)They've also disabled their LinkedIn links and yetAstronomer board launches investigation after viral Coldplay 'kiss cam' video appears to show CEO embracing HR chiefDealBook Hot Take: Board members should be licensedJonathan Foster, a consultant and former managing director at Lazard, has served on more than 50 corporate boards. Along the way, he says, he has encountered directors who have stayed too long, or ones whose “knowledge of financial statements and M&A is lacking.” He drew on that experience in “On Board: The Modern Playbook for Corporate Governance,” his new book.One of his big ideas for improving director performance: “a license,” he told DealBook, like the kind required “for investment bankers, doctors, lawyers, even massage therapists.”That, he said, “might increase confidence in corporate directors.”How it would work: Some of the requirements Foster envisions include 10 years of work experience, being at least 35 and passing an exam covering legal standards, basic accounting and finance principles, and ethics. “It doesn't have to be particularly onerous,” he said, comparing it to the Series 7 exam for financial advisers.To issue licenses, he says, the New York Stock Exchange could oversee an organization like Harvard Business School or the National Association of Corporate Directors. He says he sees the arrangement as akin to how the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board operates under the authority of the S.E.C. That independent nonprofit group, he noted, “has commissioners, and they go do their thing, but they're ultimately responsible to and can be pre-empted by the S.E.C.”Is it workable? DealBook asked Edward Rock, a professor of corporate governance at the New York University School of Law. He said he worried that standardized requirements for diverse companies could disqualify board members with otherwise strong attributes. For example, he wrote in an email to DealBook, “Why would anyone want to prevent Mark Zuckerberg (28 at the time of Facebook's I.P.O.) or Larry Page and Sergey Brin” — both in their thirties when Google listed — “from serving on the board of directors of Facebook and Google?”(Foster said exceptions could be created, including for founders.)Shareholders have an incentive to demand the most qualified board members, Rock continued, and they tend to do so.Coca-Cola will roll out cane sugar version of namesake soda in the U.S. this fallPrivate jet sales are poised for takeoff thanks to a revived tax breakA federal tax change now lets companies write off the full cost of buying a private jet in year oneStarbucks' formerly remote CEO has bought a home in Seattle and he's ordering all staff back to the office 4 days a week Jeff Bezos taps former Amazon Alexa head to lead $10 billion Earth fundElon Musk's other companies could soon pour billions into his AI startupSpaceX, the rocket company Musk founded and controls, is reportedly investing $2 billion into xAI, his AI startup best known for the chatbot GrokElon Musk promises Tesla shareholders a vote over buying equity in his Grok startup: ‘If it was up to me, Tesla would have invested in xAI long ago'Musk's xAI faces European scrutiny over Grok's 'horrific' antisemitic postsElon Musk's AI chatbot Grok is now working with the federal governmentElon Musk's Neuralink filed as 'disadvantaged business' before being valued at $9 billionOpenAI warns that its new ChatGPT Agent has the ability to aid dangerous bioweapon developmentA Staggering Proportion of Teens Say Talking to AI Is Better Than Real-Life FriendsElon Musk announces Baby Grok AI chatbot designed specifically for children's learning needsTelegram CEO Pavel Durov on French probe against Elon Musk's Twitter: “at this point, any tech company can be declared a ‘criminal gang' in France".

C dans l'air l'invitée du 21 juillet 2025 - Raphaëlle Bacqué, grand reporter au journal Le Monde"L'âge d'or de l'Amérique commence maintenant !", a lancé Donald Trump lors de son investiture, le 20 janvier 2025. Ce jour-là, à ses côtés : les anciens présidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, et la vice-présidente Kamala Harris. Mais ce que l'on retient surtout, c'est la présence d'Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai ou encore Sam Altman, figures de proue de la tech américaine. Dans une série de six articles, la journaliste Raphaëlle Bacqué retrace leur ascension fulgurante et leur ralliement progressif à Donald Trump. Certains étaient pourtant de fervents défenseurs des démocrates. En 2021, après l'assaut du Capitole, Meta avait suspendu les comptes de Trump. Quatre ans plus tard, Mark Zuckerberg verse un million de dollars à l'organisation de l'investiture de Donald Trump et s'apprête à l'indemniser à hauteur de 25 millions. Chez Meta, les sujets politiques, religieux ou liés au genre sont désormais tabous. Une dérive autocratique s'observe au sein de l'entreprise.Le virage est général. Jeff Bezos, propriétaire du "Washington Post" depuis 2013, avait lui aussi soutenu Hillary Clinton, puis Joe Biden. Il a depuis obtenu que la rédaction s'abstienne de prendre parti pour la dernière présidentielle américaine. Les affaires priment sur les idéologies. Quant à Elon Musk, hilare au premier rang, il incarne à la fois la démesure et l'audace. Sur X (ex-Twitter), il insulte, modifie les algorithmes au gré de ses humeurs et attaque désormais Donald Trump sur l'affaire Epstein. De meilleur ami à meilleur ennemi, le divorce entre Donald Trump et Elon Musk semble consommé.Comment ces patrons de la tech ont-ils rallié Donald Trump ? Quelle influence exercent-ils sur la vie politique américaine ? Et comment redessinent-ils les rapports de pouvoir ?Raphaëlle Bacqué, grand reporter au journal Le Monde décrypte comment les patrons de la Silicon Valley, de Google à Amazon en passant par Meta, ont choisi de rallier Donald Trump.
