What if your glasses could spot a deepfake before your gut does? We sit down with Jean Marc Seigneur, a veteran researcher of decentralized trust, to map where security failed, where it's catching up, and how proof—not vibes—will anchor the next decade of digital life. From central bank digital currencies to NFTs that carry qualified electronic signatures, we unpack how legal recognition and cryptography can finally meet in the middle, turning tokens into enforceable rights and payments into reliable public infrastructure.We also go beyond buzzwords to the missing pieces: education and design. Friendly apps hide sharp edges, so we talk about why countries need their own experts, not just imported tech, and how wallets must evolve with safer recovery, better defaults, and interfaces that explain risk without slowing you down. AI raises the stakes, so we explore signed videos, verifiable identities, and provenance trails that help you tell a real voice from a cloned one at a glance. Reputation won't live on a web page for long; it's moving into the physical world as augmented overlays that can help or harm depending on what they reveal and to whom.Bias won't vanish either, because human trust is social and local. We discuss how to balance peer signals with regulators' oversight, why transparency about AI use will give way to tracking human effort, and what a time-based “work token” could add to creative markets. The red thread across it all—payments, NFTs, augmented humans, and AI media—is simple and demanding: protect freedom while proving claims. If we want technology that empowers rather than deceives, we have to design, debate, and defend the trust layer itself.Enjoy the conversation?

Netflix je potvrdio najveću akviziciju u svojoj povijesti. Za oko 72 milijarde dolara kupuje filmski i streaming dio Warner Bros. Discoveryja. Da, to znači Warner Bros studio, ali i cijelu HBO biblioteku i HBO Max.Ako vam brojka zvuči ogromno, priča je još veća kad se u obzir uzmu dugovi – ukupna vrijednost dogovora penje se na više od 82 milijarde dolara. Ovo je najveći poremećaj u Hollywoodu još od Disneyjeve kupnje Foxa 2017. Sada po prvi put Netflix postaje vlasnik “pravih”, klasičnih IP-eva kao što su Harry Potter, Igra prijestolja, DC universe, Gospodar prstenova. Ipak ostaje pitanje što će biti s HBO-om. Netflix tvrdi da poštuje snagu brenda, ali ne otkriva hoće li HBO ostati zasebna platforma ili se stopiti s Netflixom._______________0:00 Uvod0:40 Netflix želi kupiti Warner Brothers za 82 milijarde dolara4:45 Što ovo znači za nas gledatelje?9:30 Akvizicija će donijeti više problema nego prednosti11:40 Metaverse se polako gasi, a Zuckerberg prebacuje resurse u AITOP i FLOP20:05 Najčešća lozinka je 12345622:15 Reklam ni sadržaj na frižiderima potaknuo šizofreniju?23:20 Djeca više ne mogu pristupiti društvenim mrežama u Australiji24:50 Što je oduševilo Ivana u Varšavi?_______________

On this week's edition of Le Show, Harry brings us regular features like News of A.I., What the Frack?!, News of the Godly, The Apologies of the Week, and The Side Effects of the Week. He also considers the co-founder of Terraform Labs, Stephen Miller, the acquisition of Warner Bros., and why Meta is diverting their funds from the Metaverse.

We discuss Meta confirming a funding shift from the Metaverse toward AI glasses, reports of a delay for its ultralight headset, and work starting on a gaming-focused Quest 4. We also cover Samsung Galaxy XR getting realistic avatars, the first clip of Xreal's Project Aura device, and Valve's comments on the blurring lines between VR and non-VR content.Here's the full topic list, in order:1.

It's the middle of December and throughout the Web, all the crawlers are stirring and AI Bots getting fed. The products displayed on folk's sites with due care, in hopes that St. Googlishous would bring traffic there. Suddenly somewhere in GA4 there arose such a clatter, I had to get off of my ass to see what was the matter. And then what from Schwartz's deli of news briefs should appear? Notes that another Core Update was already here... Perhaps it's not such a big deal however as Google confirmed it issues core updates more frequently than previously announced. In fact, Google performs several unannounced core updates each year. This isn't really a surprise but then again, neither is a major update in mid-December. Google seems to do it every year. We welcomed legendary SEO Jenny Halasz to the show to talk about her new book, "AI Powered Content Marketing and SEO", co-authored with Catherine Seda and published by Pearson O'Reilly. We also talk about the Yext study that reveals more about how the Local Pack gets formed, the 1-year long deal-cap being imposed on Google, Microsoft's pull back on Copilot due to lack of user interest, Disney's $1Billion deal with OpenAI that will bring AI versions of Mickey and Darth Vader together again, Megadrama in the Metaverse, Operation Bluebird, the OAI-SearchBot Crawler, how Google Shopping crawlers are too fast for your JavaScript, more links in AI Mode, and a lot more stuff you need to know before the web slows down for the early winter break. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/webcology/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This is the premiere episode of our new mini podcast (that ended up being not quite as mini as I'd planned) called Here Comes the News! ICE is making no friends, US Women's Tennis is doing us no favors, and the Metaverse makes no money.

This episode features host Greg and Lewis Ward discussing the true nature of virtual worlds with Wagner James Au, author of Making a Metaverse That Matters, exploring the core design, economic, and community philosophies of successful platforms.SummaryThe discussion defines the metaverse as a vast, immersive virtual world with five core features, including highly customizable avatars and a link to the real-world economy . Au argues that to succeed, a platform must be fun immediately in a multiplayer context, operating as a "third space" where socialization is easy . He contends that Mark Zuckerberg's approach damaged the ideal of the metaverse by focusing too much on hardware and ignoring crucial lessons on community and regulation . The history of Second Life (SL) serves as a critical case study, showing that while strong community allows a platform to survive economic crises and bad onboarding, financial stability requires tightly regulated markets, learned through scandals like the implosion of virtual banks and the ban on unregulated gambling . Ultimately, the key to a thriving metaverse is prioritizing community, fostering diversity, and making creation easy .Key PointsCore Metaverse Definition A true metaverse is defined by Immersiveness, Customization (avatars/tools), Scale (millions of people), a Real-World Economy Link, and Off-World Tech Integration (for accessibility) .Identity and Design Avatars and Identity (05:51): Highly customizable avatars are critical for users to experiment with identity and personality . The Proteus Effect shows that an appealing avatar can boost real-world confidence. The "Fun First" Rule (15:40): Metaverse experiences must be fun immediately in a multiplayer setting (the Third Space concept) . This is why Roblox and Fortnite succeed. Meta's Misstep (10:26): Mark Zuckerberg caused "tremendous damage" to the concept by defining it around the Quest headset and ignoring lessons on managing toxic behavior, like the initial sexual harassment incidents on Horizon Worlds .Economics and Stability Community Precedes Commerce (29:44): Platforms must succeed as communities first. Focusing only on profit (the "Cryptoverse" issue) causes virtual worlds to fail . Second Life's Stability (22:31): SL's active user base is stable at 600,000. The paradox is that if a user survives the long onboarding, they "never leave" due to the community. Regulation is Necessary (40:53): SL's banking and gambling scandals forced Linden Lab to impose tight regulation . This proves that a tightly regulated economy is essential for user trust and stability.Timestamps 03:30 The Five Core Features of the Metaverse 05:51 Avatars and the "Proteus Effect" 10:26 Why Meta Damaged the Metaverse Concept 15:40 The Critical Rule: Why Metaverse Must Be Fun First 22:31 Second Life's Paradox: Why users never leaveReferencesMaking a Metaverse That MattersWagner James Au Lewis Ward Greg PosnerCheck out Player Driven

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech show with Brian, David, and Jeanine. We have a little fun and then dive in to the latest tech news.   Brian starts things off discussing a fun experience we all have when walking the dog.   Be My Eyes won Apple's App Store of the Year Award for Cultural Impact, and on a bigger note there is a spotlight on Brian in the Be My Eyes monthly newsletter.   We then get in to the serious news of the episode as we discuss why it is important to take a Fart Walk after a big holiday dinner meal.   Nothing says comedy more than Elon Musk and Grok, as Elon thinks Grok is hilarious for roasting your co-workers.   Looks like we can finally kiss the Metaverse goodbye.   Do people hate you because you have a wonky internet connection?   Oxford's word of the year is RageBait, and yes, it is one word.   We then dive in to our least favorite conversation topics at the Holiday dinner table.   Brian then discusses his disasterous trip back to NYC. Will the airports ever get a clue?   Are ads going to ruin ChatGPT?   Will generative A.I. be smarter then a Noble Prize winner or your average bear?   Will the Anthropic 9 save the world?   If you are a bad person and have friends who use Android devices, the good news is you can now Air Drop things to them.   Amazon is now using A.I. to create season recaps in Prime Video, but will they have audio description?   In celebrating 40 years of Accessibility, Apple has released a case with a Kung Fu grip, ok, not really a Kung fu Grip, but a grip for people with hand issues.   We then dive in to our annual Black Friday shopping extravaganza, but do to us running long on our last episode, we skipped it, only to run even longer this episode, so no worries since we blew past Black Friday, we are assuming some of you may still have some shopping to do. We discuss our favorite places to shop. We discuss our Holiday shopping experiences, what we still want for the holidays, and what we have bought so far.   And it's more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.    

Bitcoin's biggest risk isn't the SEC, ETFs, or alt-L1s… It's the shrinking security budget nobody wants to talk about. We break down why treating Bitcoin as “digital gold” creates the Empty Castle Effect: a multi-trillion dollar asset sitting on-chain with collapsing fees and a weakening incentive for miners to defend it long term. We walk through the timeline of miner adoption of NAT (Non-Arbitrary Tokens) and why having ~60% of Bitcoin hash rate already touching NAT matters for security. From COVID and the failed “metaverse pivot,” to AI eating all jobs, to tiny homes and Ready Player One, we zoom out on how economic incentives are shifting and why Bitcoin's fee market can't be left to vibes and rainbow charts forever. We also react to an AI-generated explainer built with NotebookLM, talk Jensen Huang, reusable rockets, and first-principles thinking, then deconstruct Michael Saylor's latest “Bitcoin rocket” diagram and the pyramid accusations around it. Finally, we go deep on why “Bitcoin will just keep doubling” quietly violates basic physics, how that ties into the security budget problem, and where Digital Matter Theory (DMT) and NAT fit in as a potential answer. If you care about Bitcoin's long-term security, miner incentives, and what a post-halving world looks like when block rewards fade, this is the episode you shouldn't skip. Topics: First up, the gang discuss what Bitcoin's biggest risk is, and it isn't the SEC, ETFs, or alt-L1s Next, walk through the timeline of miner adoption of NAT (Non-Arbitrary Tokens) and why having ~60% of Bitcoin hash rate already touching NAT, matters for security and Finally, react to an AI-generated explainer built with NotebookLM, talk Jensen Huang, reusable rockets, and first-principles thinking.

FOLLOW UP starts with the realization that Spotify Wrapped thinks we are 82 years old, which honestly feels accurate, followed by a massive shout out to Bama Bryan on Bluesky for listening to us for over 3,000 minutes. We look at the grim stats from the Department of Government Efficiency regarding USAID deaths, then move to IN THE NEWS where the KALSHI CEO wants to monetize "any difference in opinion" because gambling on the news is the future. PALANTIR CEO Alex Karp claims making war crimes constitutional is bad for business, META STARTS KICKING AUSTRALIAN CHILDREN OFF their platforms to avoid fines, and TETHER gets a "weak" rating while U.S. BANK calls the ability to freeze stablecoins "appealing." We discuss the LEAK CONFIRMS OPENAI IS PREPARING ADS for ChatGPT while SAM ALTMAN DECLARES 'CODE RED' to catch up to Google. Speaking of which, ONE OF GOOGLE'S BIGGEST AI ADVANTAGES IS WHAT IT ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT YOU, even if GOOGLE DISCOVER IS TESTING AI-GENERATED HEADLINES that are complete lies. We cover how GROK WOULD PREFER A SECOND HOLOCAUST OVER HARMING ELON MUSK, the US PATENT OFFICE ruling on generative AI, a new report on DAVID SACKS profiting from his administration role, and INSTACART SUES NEW YORK CITY because paying workers a living wage is apparently unconstitutional. We wrap up the news with the HUMAN ROBOT HYPE SCARING CHINA, a sad story where CHILDREN SOB AS WAYMO RUNS OVER DOG, a video showing a WAYMO SELF-DRIVING TAXI TAKES PASSENGER THROUGH ACTIVE POLICE SCENE, and the fact that PASSENGERS FACE DISRUPTION AS AIRBUS UPDATES THOUSANDS OF PLANES due to solar flares.In MEDIA CANDY, the industry is shaking because NETFLIX BUYS WARNER BROS. FOR $82 BILLION, meaning they now own everything from Harry Potter to Batman.

Meta Platforms Inc. is planning significant budget cuts as high as 30%, for its metaverse initiative. Why has Netflix killed the ability to cast content from your phone to most TVs and streaming devices? YouTube said it will take steps to comply with Australia's ban on allowing users of its service who are younger than 16, but doesn't believe it should be considered a social media platform. TikTok introduced a “Nearby Feed” in the U.K., France, Italy, and Germany, giving users a location-based stream of local posts.

Het onvoorstelbare is gebeurd. Mark Zuckerberg grijpt in bij zijn favoriete hobbyproject. Metaverse krijgt, meldt persbureau Bloomberg, maar liefst 30 procent minder geld. Opvallend, want Zuckerberg roept al jarenlang dat dit dé toekomst is. Hij veranderde zelfs de naam van het bedrijf, omdat hij zo in de Metaverse gelooft.Dat lijkt nu dus anders te lopen. Hoe anders, dat zoeken we deze aflevering uit. Dan bekijken we ook de financiële puinhoop van dit hobyproject. Het heeft tot nu toe namelijk al 70 miljard dollar verloren.Hebben we het ook over een ander nieuwtje. Die komt van de journalisten van de Financial Times en gaat ook over Meta. Brussel gaat een onderzoek starten naar de AI-functies in Whatsapp.Jensen Huang hoeft president Trump niet te appen. De baas van Nvidia zag hem namelijk tijdens een lobbybezoek in Washington. Een belangrijk gesprek voor de toekomst van Nvidia. Verder hoor je meer over een cadeautje van president Trump aan de autosector. Hebben we het over de enorme koersval van Philips, de directie van Adidas dat een rechtszaak wint van de eigen aandeelhouders en de Amerikaanse arbeidsmarkt. Slecht nieuws: er worden heel veel Amerikanen ontslagen. Sinds 2020 niet zoveel als dit jaar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a long week following a long Thanksgiving weekend that opened on CyberMonday with a login-outage at Spotify. Folks who logged out of their Spotify accounts on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday awoke to a virtual lockout which was finally cleared between 3 and 5pm. Google Search Console reports are lagging a couple days behind. This podcast was recorded on a Thursday and that data hadn't been updated since Monday. The Trump administration will add social media inspections of all new H-1B applicants and their H-4 dependents to the list of student and exchange visitors it already inspects. The order forces all applicants to turn their social media privacy settings to "public" in order to allow for inspections. Google and other competitors, mixed with the realities of not owning a the operating system, are causing massive problems of Sam Altman and OpenAI. OpenAI has declared a Code-Red after the release of Google's Gemini 3. OpenAI's ChatGPT needs to urgently improve the chatbot's personalization, speed, reliability, and ability to understand a wider range of queries. Meta is investing a lot more in the Metaverse moving forward. The popular Messenger app is going to be killed quite quickly adding to the resource base being reallocated to the virtual reality project. For transactional or commercial searches, Google's AI Mode is seen delivering traffic for 69% of queries. Google is investing in a massive Gemini App UX overhaul. Google adds LLMs.txt to Search Dev Portal, and then quickly removes them. LLMs.txt documents are present at developers.chrome.com.

Bitcoin just spent a year at all-time highs without a classic blow-off top—so did we actually already live through the bull market without feeling it? In this episode we walk through the red days, the compressed four-year cycle, and why a 60K–70K BTC “bottom” could trigger a slow-motion extinction event for miners. We break down what that means for network security, why miner incentives matter more than most people want to admit, and how NAT as a second subsidy fits into this picture if hash price keeps getting crushed. From there we zoom out and compare this cycle to the last one: DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, and the Metaverse versus Ordinals, memecoins-as-a-service, AI agents, and the OtherSide. We talk about why the metaverse hype died so fast, whether Yuga's $500M land sale can ever be justified, and how insanely fast humanoid robots are evolving in China, Russia, and the U.S.—plus what that means for labor, isolation, and the inevitability of digital economies. Finally, we connect it all to the macro race between China and the U.S.: gold versus digital rails, state-level attack surfaces on Bitcoin, and why all of these tailwinds converge into a “lightning in a bottle” moment for NAT, DMT, and Bitcoin-aligned incentives. If you're a miner, builder, or long-term crypto investor trying to understand what happens if this really was the top—and how to position around security budgets, hash power, and new subsidy layers—this one's for you. Drop your questions in the comments, follow us on X, and join the NAT Telegram to go deeper into the miner incentive war. Nothing in this video is financial advice; do your own research. Topics: First up, Bitcoin just spent a year at all-time highs without a classic blow-off top—so did we actually already live through the bull market without feeling it? Next, We talk about why the metaverse hype died so fast and Finally, why all of these tailwinds converge into a “lightning in a bottle” moment for NAT, DMT, and Bitcoin-aligned incentives.
