Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Zuckerberg

This episode proves that nothing gold can stay, especially your 401k, as we kick things off with the revelation that October saw the worst tech layoffs since 2003, all while "Big Short" genius Michael Burry decided to bet a billion dollars on the inevitable AI bubble bursting. The villains of the week are legion: the FCC is officially making it easier for internet companies to charge us even more hidden fees; Elon Musk not only got his $1 trillion pay package approved—despite Tesla sales collapsing nearly 90% in some countries—but he also teased a flying car, clearly living in his own "Golden Dome" fantasy, which the Pentagon is happily subsidizing; and in a stunning display of entitlement, Mark Zuckerberg opened an illegal school, which is somehow less shocking than Meta's claim that their massive porn stash was purely for "personal use," not AI training. The bad news doesn't stop there, with Texas suing Roblox over 'pixel pedophiles,' though at least a rural Michigan healthcare system is doing some good by using drones to improve care.Jumping over to Media Candy, since we're all emotionally scarred by the sheer awful-ness of The Witcher S4—a season so bad it "broke" The Critical Drinker—we need some comfort viewing. We're deep-diving into the political chess of The Diplomat and escaping into the sheer volume of competitive cooking shows, including the standard Halloween and Holiday Baking Championships, plus the delightfully ridiculous Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking S2; we also took a look at Pluribus, Knife Edge, Black Rabbit, and the trailer for Tron: Ares, while cheering the fact that Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are set to revive The Mummy franchise for a fourth film. In Apps & Doodads, we're all mourning the eventual death of simple, good tech as we're warned to enjoy Apple CarPlay while we still can, but at least the Lego ‘Star Trek' Set is finally here for our inner child; the real question, though, is why Automattic Inc. thinks they can claim ownership of the actual word 'Automatic.'Finally, The Dark Side with Dave Bittner reminds us that everything old is new again and ripe for monetization, whether it's Miss Piggy potentially bringing back The Muppets to the movies or the sleek, blacked-out remake of the Commodore 64, not to mention that cool Tron Arcade Cabinet Miniature Model. However, the present is still a complete dumpster fire: a Google AI model allegedly accused a senator of sexual assault, and internal documents show that Meta is earning a fortune on a massive deluge of fraudulent ads, proving that the only thing getting healthier is our paranoia, though Dave did throw in a curveball with some special jar lids and seeds for growing organic sprouts. We finish, as always, with the obligatory Closing Shout-Outs because even cynical geeks need validation.Sponsors:MasterClass - Get an additional 15% off any annual membership at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKSGusto - Try Gusto today at gusto.com/grumpy, and get three months free when you run your first payroll.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg join a16z's Ben Horowitz, Erik Torenberg, and Vineeta Agarwala to share how the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is building the computational tools that will accelerate the cure, prevention, and management of all disease by century's end. They explain why basic science needs $100 million-scale projects that traditional NIH grants can't fund, how their Cell Atlas became biology's missing periodic table with millions of cells catalogued in open-source format, and why their new virtual cell models will let scientists test high-risk hypotheses in silico before investing in expensive wet lab work. Plus: the organizational shift unifying the Biohub under AI leadership, what happens when biologists and engineers sit side-by-side, and why modern biology labs are expanding compute instead of square footage. Timestamps:4:17 - Building tools to accelerate scientific discovery5:47 - The credible path to funding basic science7:21 - Biohub = Frontier Biology + Frontier AI9:05 - Challenges building on a 10-15 year timeline9:43 - How CZI chooses what to work on11:15 - Making sense of science with LLMs11:31 - Measuring success in the therapeutic realm13:32 - “Most diseases should be thought of as rare diseases”15:39 - Inspiration: building a periodic table for biology19:27 - Why virtual cells?21:17 - The Biohub Master Plan21:51 - How virtual cell models allow more risk taking28:15 - Bringing CZI & Biohub together30:32 - Why Biohub matters33:36 - The importance of interface design in democratizing scientific discovery35:34 - How Biohub encourages cross-functional collaboration40:38 - Looking ahead: the broader impact of AI on biotech Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

One philosopher of our time claims that "today, the experience of beauty is impossible." Dr. Jason Baxter, director of the Center for Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College, begs to differ. Dr. Baxter joins us on HeightsCast to unpack his latest book, Why Literature Still Matters, which looks at why such a claim might feel true in our digital age. Then, he talks us through why and how we should reclaim our experiences of beauty for the health of our soul.

Today's guests are Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, co-founders of Biohub (fka Chan Zuckerberg Initiative). They are one of the leading institutes for AI x Bio and open science research with projects like CELLxGENE, rbio1, VariantFormer, and many more. We talked about the evolution from a broad philanthropic institute to specializing in frontier AI + bio, why they are building 12ft tall microscopes to gather better data, and how building a virtual cell model + virtual immune system could potentially help us cure all diseases.

De heffingen van president Trump zijn ineens onzeker geworden. Het Amerikaanse Hooggerechtshof moest tijdens een hoorzitting oordelen of die tarieven wel deugen. Ondanks dat Trump een meerderheid van de (conservatieve) rechters achter zich heeft, zijn ze bepaalt niet op zijn hand.De uitspraak is er nog niet, maar volgens veel deskundigen ziet het er niet goed uit voor de president. Dat zijn tarieven van de baan zijn. Slecht voor hem, maar goed voor jou? We bespreken het deze aflevering uitgebreid.Ondertussen maakt Maersk, de Deense vrachtvaarder, zich geen zorgen over de handelsoorlog. De internationale handel gaat gewoon door, blijkt uit de kwartaalcijfers. Hebben we het ook over AirFrance-KLM. En dan voornamelijk over 'de blauwe trots'. KLM presteert namelijk nog steeds niet goed en dat begint toch wel op te vallen. Opvallen doet Meta, maar dan in negatieve zin. Uit gelekte documenten blijkt dat het bedrijf miljarden verdient aan frauduleuze advertenties. Meta moet zich nu waarschijnlijk schrap zetten voor boetes of strengere regels van de toezichthouder.

Die Superreichen der USA lenken die Politik – oft unsichtbar, aber mit gewaltiger Wirkung. Julian Heißler zeigt, wie Geld Wahlkämpfe entscheidet, Debatten verschiebt und die Demokratie verändert. Ein Gespräch über Macht, Einfluss und die Frage, was von der amerikanischen Idee geblieben ist.

There is a network of left-wing agitators who can be summoned, seemingly on demand, to be angry enough to protest just about anything. These coordinated uprisings are anything but organic, but the average person never asks where the money is coming from. If they did, it might strike them as odd that the people financing the protests against billionaires were other billionaires.   The dark money flowing through Arabella Advisors comes from some of the most dangerous foundations in the world, all with ties to eugenics. Charity groups connected to Gates, Soros, and Zuckerberg spent almost $295 million on the nationwide “No Kings: 2 Electric Boogaloo”  walk-a-thon for elderly, misinformed Boomers. Their subscription to the “revolution” will be billed monthly via Apple Pay. — Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions  YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCn3GlVLKZtTkhLJkiuG7a-Q?si=DvKo2lcQhzo8Vuqu  — MACRO & Charlie Robinson Links Hypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwms The Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMm Website: www.Macroaggressions.io  Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/  Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast Activist Post Family Activist Post: www.ActivistPost.com  Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com  Support Our Sponsors C60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACRO Chemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACRO Wise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836 LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com  EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro  Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/ Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACRO The Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471  Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACRO Augason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO  —

California just proposed a "one-time" 5% wealth tax on billionaires to cover $30 billion in federal funding cuts - because what could possibly go wrong? We break down how desperate California has become, targeting the very people who pay 40-50% of their taxes while ignoring the real spending problems like funding illegal immigrants and bloated bureaucracy.Meanwhile, we're seeing the same pattern play out in Seattle where Amazon is laying off 14,000 employees - with 88% of Washington state cuts happening in the city that taxes them the most. It's almost like there's a connection between anti-business policies and businesses leaving! We dive into how Mark Zuckerberg could face a $12 billion hit, Jensen Huang $8 billion, and why Jeff Bezos already showed us the playbook by moving to Florida.Is this just union-driven socialism in disguise? Will California's billionaires pull a Bezos and relocate faster than you can say "tax avoidance"? What happens when you drive away the golden geese?

This week, the boys head back to Roman Polanski-ville for the third time to discuss the pivotal 1965 film “Repulsion”. This “dangerous” film is Polanski's first English-language movie, shot in London during the peak of the French New Wave (Polanski is a Polish-French filmmaker). “Repulsion” offers indie-film groundedness, a gritty reality, noir-inspired neorealism, and an upheaval of social values of the time- sexual liberation, classism, irony, and iconoclasm. Also, we all had different levels of enjoyment, which led to one of our finest broad conversations!

At Donald Trump's inauguration earlier this year, the returning president made a striking break from tradition. The seats closest to the president – typically reserved for family – went instead to the most powerful tech CEOs in the world: Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Sundar Pichai. Between them, these men run some of the most profitable companies in history. And over the past two decades, they've used that wealth to reshape our public sphere.But this felt different. This wasn't discreet backdoor lobbying or a furtive effort to curry favour with an incoming administration. These were some of the most influential men in the world quite literally aligning themselves with the world's most powerful politician – and his increasingly illiberal ideology.Carole Cadwalladr has been tracking the collision of technology and politics for years. She's the investigative journalist who broke the Cambridge Analytica story, exposing how Facebook data may have been used to manipulate elections. Now, she's arguing that what we're witnessing goes beyond monopoly power or even traditional oligarchy. She calls it techno-authoritarianism – a fusion of Trump's authoritarian political project with the technological might of Silicon Valley.So I wanted to have her on to make the case for why she believes Big Tech isn't just complicit in authoritarianism, but is actively enabling it.Mentioned:The First Great Disruption 2016-2024, by Carole CadwalladrTrump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans, by Sheera Frenkel and Aaron Krolik (New York Times)This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like, by Carole Cadwalladr (TED)The Nerve NewsMachines Like Us is produced by Mitchell Stuart.

„Das ist ein dirty little secret in der Branche: Manchmal hat man eine Kampagne und merkt, dass sie irgendwie was bewirkt hat. Dann denkt man, toll, wir schreiben jetzt eine Effie-Einreichung. Und dann muss man manchmal erst die Zielsetzung erfinden." Was provokant klingt, beschreibt für Will Rolls, Agency Partner Effectiveness bei Meta Hamburg, eine Schwachstelle vieler Kampagnen: viele Metriken, aber echter Markenimpact ist schwierig zu definieren. Entscheidend ist für ihn die Unterscheidung zwischen korrelativen und kausativen Erfolgsbeweisen. Während Click-Through-Rates oder View-Through-Rates oft nicht mehr als Vanity-Metriken sind, zeigen Brand-Lift-Studien, welchen Wert Kommunikation tatsächlich stiftet. Der Kern des Problems liegt für ihn nicht in der Produktion, sondern viel früher: Bei den Zielen, die Marketingverantwortliche definieren. In der neuen Folge von #WhatsNextAgencies spricht er mit Kim Alexandra Notz außerdem darüber, warum die Debatte um Mark Zuckerbergs angeblichen „Krieg gegen Agenturen“ an der Sache vorbeigeht. Für Rolls ging es dabei nie um eine Schwächung der Branche, sondern um zugänglichere Werbung für alle: Denn mit kleinem Budget sollen künftig auch kleine Unternehmen KI-gestützte Kampagnen starten können. Für Agenturen ergibt sich daraus eine klare Aufgabe: Sie müssen beweisen, welchen Premium-Mehrwert sie liefern, durch differenzierende Ideen, strategische Steuerung und Creative Diversification. Rolls, der zuvor als Planning Director bei Grabarz & Partner und Digitas LBI arbeitete, plädiert zudem für ein Umdenken: Die Trennung von Media- und Kreativagenturen sei eine „Sünde“, echte Wirkung entstehe nur durch integrierte Zusammenarbeit. Diese Folge ist damit weit mehr als ein Blick auf Kennzahlen. Sie ist ein Aufruf, Effektivität neu zu definieren und das Selbstverständnis von Agenturen im KI-Zeitalter zu schärfen.

Mark Zuckerberg hat vor einigen Jahren Facebook zur Metaverse-Company umgebaut, damit wir in Zukunft keine langweiligen Zoom-Meetings mehr führen müssen, sondern als Hologramme beim Kollegen auf der Couch sitzen und Geld mit dem Traden und Designen virtueller Fashion verdienen können. Das Metaverse soll nicht nur die Zukunft von Facebook sichern, sondern Millionen von Jobs kreieren.Falls Sie jetzt nur Bahnhof verstanden haben, ist das normal, weil nicht so viele Menschen immer aktuell auf dem Laufenden sind, was in High-Tech-Medien gerade angesagt ist. Es geht um die bessere Möglichkeit miteinander zu kommunizieren mit noch mehr Möglichkeiten einander nahe zu sein. Wenn man bedenkt, dass Mark Zuckerberg Facebook erfunden hat, weil er eine Möglichkeit gesucht hat mit Mädchen in Kontakt zu treten, weil er in live, in echt und in Farbe einfach zu schüchtern war, um das zu tun. Und wenn man bedenkt, was daraus geworden ist, positiv gesagt: eine weltweite Möglichkeit, mit Menschen und Ideen und Bildern und Musik, mit Produktion und Produkten um zu gehen und eine neue Nähe zu schaffen.Wenn man bedenkt, dass mehr als 3,8 Milliarden Menschen weltweit diese Möglichkeit nutzen, wird einem plötzlich klar, welche positiven und auch negativen Möglichkeiten sich hier bieten, Produkte und Botschaften zu verbreiten. Es ist dann leider auch ziemlich einfach, vom Sessel aus Hasstiraden und Hetze zu lesen, gelangweilt oder angewidert weiter zu scrollen oder sogar zu liken und weiter zu verbreiten. Aber damit ist Böses gesät in die Welt und auch in uns selbst.In einem Brief des heiligen Karl Borromäus, des heutigen Tagesheiligen, habe ich ein bemerkenswertes Zitat aus der Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts gelesen. Er schreibt in einem Brief: "Wie sorgfältig und eifrig sind doch die Menschen darauf bedacht, ansteckenden Krankheiten zu entgehen, damit nicht alle davon angesteckt werden. … Aber wie träge sind die Menschen, um der Ansteckung ihrer Seelen zu entgehen!"Das, was unsere Seele, unser Herz unser Denken leiten, anstecken soll, müssen wir jeden Tag selbst entscheiden. Meide das Böse und tue das Gute, suche den Frieden und jage ihm nach gilt immer: live, in echt, real und in Farbe und in den virtuellen Medien.

The royal formerly known as "Prince" Andrew is only Andrew now. In what's being called 'the greatest crisis the royal family has faced in 100 years', the King has banished his brother after the distress and noise around his behaviour finally became too loud for even the insulated royals to ignore. So what now? Will it shut down critics and accusers, or just open the flood gates? Also, is it just plain embarrassing to admit to having a boyfriend now? The most viral essay of the past week says YES, so why's that? And: the politics of a pair of untethered breasts. Why Sydney Sweeney's new version of the naked dress has everyone confused.

With last week's Mag 7 earnings now in the rearview mirror, Michael Robinson looks back and considers the reports strong for A.I.'s outlook. He believes they showed that we are not experiencing an A.I. bubble, pointing to Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Cloud profits as the key example. He points to Apple's (AAPL) tech ecosystem as proof the company doesn't need to accelerate its A.I. offerings at the rate of peers. Benjamin Connard turns to Meta Platforms (META) to explain how the Street is putting more emphasis on A.I. spend and how CEO Mark Zuckerberg could have handled the earnings call better.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The Craic returns with its dynamic trio: Petesy Carroll, Chuck Mindenhall, and Ben Fowlkes. Up first, a deep dive into the future of the UFC heavyweight division following the fallout from Ciryl Gane's eye poke against Tom Aspinall (5:20). Two fighters looking to make their mark on the division are Jon Jones and Alex Pereira. The lads discuss the two MMA stars angling for a potential superfight between each other (26:00).Pereira's been putting in the work for that bout, but with an unexpected training partner. The crew breaks down the viral clip of him grappling with Mark Zuckerberg (34:00).Next up, the trio reacts to Tank Davis's latest legal troubles ahead of his upcoming Netflix boxing match with Jake Paul (36:09).Another controversial headline doing the rounds is Andrew Tate's appointment as the new Misfits Boxing CEO. Petesy and the boys unpack what it means for the future of crossover fights (41:25). To close the show, the guys react to Ronda Rousey's recent comments about MMA fans, a take that didn't exactly land well with the community (55:08). 

This week's episode started with the usual existential sigh before tumbling straight into the corporate bloodbath. Amazon chopped 14,000 jobs under the noble banner of “embracing AI,” which CEO Andy Jassy insists isn't about money—despite swimming Scrooge McDuck–style in profit. GM's cutting 1,700 workers, YouTube's dangling “voluntary” buyouts, and economists can't decide if AI is killing jobs or if the economy's just trash. Microsoft's winning either way, sitting pretty on OpenAI's planned $1 trillion IPO, while Meta stock cratered because Zuckerberg's still shoveling billions into the AI bonfire instead of quietly burying the metaverse. Meanwhile, Elon managed to cram a week's worth of disasters into a single news cycle: Tesla's being probed for its idiotic “Mad Max” mode, recalling thousands more Cybertrucks because they can't figure out glue, launching Grokipedia (Wikipedia's evil twin), and turning Truth Social into a crypto casino. Somewhere between the chaos, more people tuned into a fake NVIDIA livestream than the real one, and the only vaguely uplifting story was a grieving family using an AI chatbot to hack a $195K hospital bill down to $33K.In media misery, we soothed our nuclear anxiety with A House of Dynamite, tolerated Welcome to Derry, rolled our eyes at Stranger Things 5, and confirmed Slow Horses still rules. Music listeners, please stop streaming fascism—cancel Spotify. On the tech toy front, Grammarly's having an identity crisis as “Superhuman,” Affinity caved to the subscription gods, and Apple's prepping to inject ads into Maps because the world wasn't already annoying enough. The chaos didn't stop there: a rogue Goodreads librarian rewrote Trump's book listings to protest censorship, Cursor 2.0 actually impressed us with a working currency converter, and Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It turned out to be the perfect title for the entire digital era.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

-As part of an AI-focused reorganization, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan told employees that it will offer voluntary buyouts, according to an internal company memo. At the same time, he emphasized that there would be no specific role eliminations as part of the new structure. -It looks like Meta's Vibes feed is just the start of the company's pivot toward AI slop. In an earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that "we're going to add yet another huge corpus of content" to Meta's recommendation system, via AI's ability to create and remix content — so you're likely to see even more AI generated posts on Facebook and Instagram. -Proton, the company behind Proton VPN and other encrypted apps like Proton Mail and Proton Drive, just launched a new web page called the Data Breach Observatory that aims to make accurate cybercrime data more widely accessible. The Observatory is intended to be a continually updated report that records any data leak detected on the dark web, with information sourced from the underground data marketplaces themselves.

Imagine a country that glorifies wealth. They worship many different human gods with names like Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos, Marc Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Elon Musk. They have other idols too. They even invent their own constellations and stars. They have movie stars, sports stars and all-stars. Rebbe Nachman foresaw all of this over 200 years ago and tells about it in today's lesson.

Meta, Microsoft én Alphabet kwamen met de kwartaalcijfers en alleen de laatste werd beloond. M&M worden afgestraft voor de miljardenuitgaven in AI. Meta valt daarbij wel heel erg op: dat aandeel werd gedumpt door beleggers.Deze aflevering kijken we waarom Meta en Microsoft zó hard worden aangepakt door beleggers. Of het terecht is dat beleggers vrezen voor al die investeringen en waarom het spenderen van Alphabet wordt gedoogd.Er was ook nieuws van AEX-bedrijven. Shell had een miljard dollar meer winst dan vorig jaar, boven verwachting bovendien. Vooral de olie- en gasdivisies doen het weer beter. En, fijn voor beleggers, de marges stijgen verder. Bij ING worden er dan weer minder cadeautjes uitgedeeld aan aandeelhouders en toch stijgt het aandeel fors. Verder hoor je meer over de verpletterende cijfers van Eli Lilly én je hoort meer over de beursgang van OpenAI. Dat moet (hou je vast) duizend miljard dollar waard worden.

En la edición de hoy del Radar Empresarial analizamos el fuerte retroceso que ha sufrido Meta en las operaciones fuera de horario. La empresa dirigida por Mark Zuckerberg registró una caída cercana al 7% en el mercado after hours, tras comunicar en su llamada con analistas que su saldo de caja se redujo un 43% desde finales del año pasado. Este descenso se atribuye principalmente a las enormes inversiones que la tecnológica está realizando en el desarrollo de inteligencia artificial. Zuckerberg explicó que tanto la contratación de expertos de primer nivel como la construcción de costosos centros de datos han presionado los márgenes operativos y reducido en un tercio el flujo de caja libre durante el tercer trimestre del año. A pesar de la reacción negativa del mercado, el CEO de Meta se mostró firme en su postura. Destacó que su estrategia pasa por consolidar a la compañía como una de las líderes mundiales en la carrera por la inteligencia artificial. Según aseguró, la empresa no tiene intención de frenar su ambicioso plan de expansión y planea aumentar su infraestructura tecnológica en 2026, con el objetivo de incrementar de manera significativa su capacidad de procesamiento y desarrollo. Entre las inversiones más destacadas se encuentra la construcción de un nuevo centro de datos en El Paso, con un desembolso de 1.500 millones de dólares, además de un acuerdo de financiación de 27.000 millones con Blue Owl Capital para el complejo que se levantará en Louisiana. A ello se suma la inyección de más de 14.000 millones en Scale AI, lo que refleja el compromiso de Meta con este sector. Sin embargo, estas cifras han generado preocupación entre los inversores, que han respondido con ventas tras conocerse los resultados. Y es que los datos financieros del tercer trimestre no fueron alentadores. Meta reportó un beneficio por acción apenas superior a un dólar, lejos de los casi siete esperados por el mercado. El beneficio neto acumulado entre enero y septiembre alcanzó los 37.690 millones, un 9% menos que en 2024. No obstante, la facturación total ascendió a más de 140.000 millones, lo que representa un incremento del 21%. La empresa también anunció una provisión fiscal cercana a los 16.000 millones debido a la aplicación de la Ley One Big Beautiful Bill, impulsada durante la administración de Donald Trump.

AI Daily Rundown: October 30, 2025:Welcome to AI Unraveled, Your daily briefing on the real world business impact of AIIn Today's edition:

Today, we break down the chaos across politics, media, and society. From warnings of a looming dictatorship by the DNC and Joe Biden's “dark days” claims on free speech, to Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg navigating government pressure, the media landscape is under the microscope. We also dive into protests in London's Tower Hamlets and the implications of unchecked counter-protests, along with the U.S. political fight over illegal immigrant benefits, rural hospital funding, foreign aid, and media bailouts. Amid all this, we analyze private sector job growth, economic recovery, and the complex web of policies shaping American lives.

We begin this episode by highlighting a fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Joseph Gordon Levitt over the issue of “synthetic relationships” and their implications for young children. We discuss the recent invention of plastoline, an alternative fuel source that can power automobiles. We conclude by considering one of Bill Maher's recent New Rules involving intentionally disrupting our social media algorithms in order to make space for understanding of and dialog with our opponents.

Today's show: *Is the AI bubble going to POP?

This week, the boys head to the jungle for one of Amazon Studios' first films, James Gray's “The Lost City of Z”. That's pronounced “Zed” for you British purists. The film stars Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson with a beard and glasses, and Sienna Miller. It was produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B and was SOMEHOW filmed on a $30 million budget, half of which was spent flying the dailies out of the actual Amazon jungle. We get drinking with a few mini-reviews at the top, and Jeff must have started early because he recorded with his microphone facing the wrong way. Luckily, Dave has fixed Jeff & John's crap many times before. Grab a beer and listen in! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

In this episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with viral creator Daniel Mac, the mind behind the iconic street interviews asking strangers in luxury cars, “What do you do for a living?” Daniel takes us inside his journey from a finance job in Dallas to one of the most recognizable creators on the planet. He opens up about the fear and rejection that came with pioneering a new format, getting banned from filming locations, and the relentless grind that turned a spontaneous COVID experiment into a full-blown global brand. They dive deep into the mechanics of virality—authenticity, timing, algorithms, and creative evolution—and explore how understanding people is just as important as understanding platforms. Daniel also reveals behind-the-scenes stories from celebrity encounters with Mark Zuckerberg, Travis Scott, and Jay Leno, showing that even the world's biggest names are just people at the end of the day. This episode is a masterclass in creative determination, self-belief, and staying grounded while the internet tries to turn you into a caricature. Whether you're a content creator, entrepreneur, or someone searching for the courage to take your first leap—this one will hit home. Key Takeaways -Rejection is fuel—Daniel's early failures became his foundation. -Authenticity outperforms gimmicks. Viewers can sense real connection. -Social media algorithms reward consistency and platform fluency. -Timing matters—post when people care most. -Celebrities are human too—approach them with curiosity, not worship. -Passion and persistence trump perfection.
