Hey, it's Alex! Happy Halloween friends! I'm excited to bring you this weeks (spooky) AI updates! We started the show today with MiniMax M2, the currently top Open Source LLM, with an interview with their head of eng, Skyler Miao, continued to dive into OpenAIs completed restructuring into a non-profit and a PBC, including a deep dive into a live stream Sam Altman had, with a ton of spicy details, and finally chatted with Arjun Desai from Cartesia, following a release of Sonic 3, a sub 49ms voice model! So, 2 interviews + tons of news, let's dive in! (as always, show notes in the end)Hey, if you like this content, it would mean a lot if you subscribe as a paid subscriber.Open Source AIMiniMax M2: open-source agentic model at 8% of Claude's price, 2× speed (X, Hugging Face )We kicked off our open-source segment with a banger of an announcement and a special guest. The new king of open-source LLMs is here, and it's called MiniMax M2. We were lucky enough to have Skyler Miao, Head of Engineering at Minimax, join us live to break it all down.M2 is an agentic model built for code and complex workflows, and its performance is just staggering. It's already ranked in the top 5 globally on the Artificial Analysis benchmark, right behind giants like OpenAI and Anthropic. But here's the crazy part: it delivers nearly twice the speed of Claude 3.5 Sonnet at just 8% of the price. This is basically Sonnet-level performance, at home, in open source.Skylar explained that their team saw an “impossible triangle” in the market between performance, cost, and speed—you could only ever get two. Their goal with M2 was to build a model that could solve this, and they absolutely nailed it. It's a 200B parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model, but with only 10B active parameters per inference, making it incredibly efficient.One key insight Skylar shared was about getting the best performance. M2 supports multiple APIs, but to really unlock its reasoning power, you need to use an API that passes the model's “thinking” tokens back to it on the next turn, like the Anthropic API. Many open-source tools don't support this yet, so it's something to watch out for.Huge congrats to the MiniMax team on this Open Weights (MIT licensed) release, you can find the model on HF! MiniMax had quite a week, with 3 additional releases, MiniMax speech 2.6, an update to their video model Hailuo 2.3 and just after the show, they released a music 2.0 model as well! Congrats on the shipping folks! OpenAI drops gpt-oss-safeguard - first open-weight safety reasoning models for classification ( X, HF )OpenAI is back on the open weights bandwagon, with a finetune release of their previously open weighted gpt-oss models, with gpt-oss-safeguard. These models were trained exclusively to help companies build safeguarding policies to make sure their apps remains safe! With gpt-oss-safeguards 20B and 120B, OpenAI is achieving near parity with their internal safety models, and as Nisten said on the show, if anyone knows about censorship and safety, it's OpenAI! The highlight of this release is, unlike traditional pre-trained classifiers, these models allow for updates to policy via natural language!These models will be great for businesses that want to safeguard their products in production, and I will advocate to bring these models to W&B Inference soon! A Humanoid Robot in Your Home by 2026? 1X NEO announcement ( X, Order page, Keynote )Things got really spooky when we started talking about robotics. The company 1X, which has been on our radar for a while, officially launched pre-orders for NEO, the world's first consumer humanoid robot designed for your home. And yes, you can order one right now for $20,000, with deliveries expected in early 2026.The internet went crazy over this announcement, with folks posting receipts of getting one, other folks stoking the uncanny valley fears that Sci-fi has built into many people over the years, of the Robot uprising and talking about the privacy concerns of having a human tele-operate this Robot in your house to do chores. It can handle chores like cleaning and laundry, and for more complex tasks that it hasn't learned yet, it uses a teleoperation system where a human “1X Expert” can pilot the robot remotely to perform the task. This is how it collects the data to learn to do these tasks autonomously in your specific home environment.The whole release is very interesting, from the “soft and quiet” approach 1X is taking, making their robot a 66lbs short king, draped in a knit sweater, to the $20K price point (effectively at loss given how much just the hands cost), the teleoperated by humans addition, to make sure the Robot learns about your unique house layout. The conversation on the show was fascinating. We talked about all the potential use cases, from having it water your plants and look after your pets while you're on vacation to providing remote assistance for elderly relatives. Of course, there are real privacy concerns with having a telepresence device in your home, but 1X says these sessions are scheduled by you and have strict no-go zones.Here's my prediction: by next Halloween, we'll see videos of these NEO robots dressed up in costumes, helping out at parties. The future is officially here. Will you be getting one? If not this one, when will you think you'll get one? OpenAI's Grand Plan: From Recapitalization to ASIThis was by far the biggest update about the world of AI for me this week! Sam Altman was joined by Jakub Pachocki, chief scientist and Wojciech Zaremba, a co-founder, on a live stream to share an update about their corporate structure, plans for the future, and ASI goals (Artificial Superintelligence) First, the company now has a new structure: a non-profit OpenAI Foundation governs the for-profit OpenAI Group. The foundation starts with about 26% equity and has a mission to use AI for public good, including an initial $25 billion commitment to curing diseases and building an “AI Resilience” ecosystem.But the real bombshells were about their research timeline. Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki stated that they believe deep learning systems are less than a decade away from superintelligence (ASI). He said that at this point, AGI isn't even the right goal anymore. To get there, they're planning to have an “AI research intern” by September 2026 and a fully autonomous AI researcher comparable to their human experts by March 2028. This is insane if you think about it. As Yam mentioned, OpenAI is already shipping at an insane speed, releasing Models and Products, Sora, Atlas, Pulse, ChatGPT app store, and this is with humans, assisted by AI. And here, they are talking about complete and fully autonomous researchers, that will be infinitely more scalable than humans, in the next 2 years. The outcomes of this are hard to imagine and are honestly mindblowing. To power all this innovation, Sam revealed they have over $1.4 trillion in obligations for compute (over 30 GW). And said even that's not enough. Their aspiration is to build a “compute factory” capable of standing up one gigawatt of new compute per week, and he hinted they may need to “rethink their robotics strategy” to build the data centers fast enough. Does this mean OpenAI humanoid robots building factories?

Philippe Aghion, professor do renomado Collège de France e do Instituto Europeu de Administração de Negócios (Insead), foi o pesquisador premiado com o Nobel de Economia em 2025. Em entrevista exclusiva, ele falou à RFI sobre alguns dos desafios econômicos da França. Em meio aos debates sobre o orçamento de 2026, ele alerta: com o imposto sobre grandes fortunas proposto por seu colega, o também economista Gabriel Zucman, a França pode literalmente perder o bonde da inteligência artificial. Em entrevista exclusiva à RFI, o economista Philippe Aghion, recém-laureado com o Prêmio Nobel de Economia de 2025, fez duras críticas à política fiscal francesa e alertou para os riscos que o país corre ao adotar medidas que, segundo ele, podem comprometer seu futuro tecnológico e econômico. Aghion iniciou sua análise comentando o impasse em torno da aprovação do Orçamento francês para 2026. Segundo ele, a ausência de um orçamento aprovado até o fim do ano seria grave, pois colocaria o país sob uma “lei especial” que impede decisões estratégicas, como investimentos em inteligência artificial. "É muito grave não ter um projeto de orçamento aprovado, porque entramos numa espécie de regime especial. Sem isso, o país entra em modo de emergência, só dá para pagar o funcionalismo. Não há espaço para decisões estratégicas, nem para investir em tecnologia de ponta como a inteligência artificial. Ficamos completamente paralisados", afirmou o Prêmio Nobel de Economia de 2025. O economista foi enfático ao criticar a proposta do Partido Socialista de implementar o chamado “Imposto Zucman” — uma taxa mínima de 2% sobre patrimônios superiores a € 100 mil, incluindo ativos não concretizados. Aghion citou o exemplo de Arthur Mensch, presidente da Mistral, uma das startups mais promissoras em inteligência artificial na França, avaliada em € 12 bilhões, mas que ainda não gera receita. “Com esse imposto, ele teria que vender ações ou buscar financiamento apenas para pagar tributos sobre um valor que não existe. Isso é desmotivador e pode levá-lo a fechar as portas ou mudar de país”, alertou. Leia tambémAlemanha lança supercomputador 'Júpiter' e cobra reação da Europa na corrida da IA Para Aghion, a valorização de empresas emergentes é volátil e incerta, e tributar ativos não realizados pode sufocar a inovação. “Com a Taxa Zucman, está terminado. A França escapa à inteligência artificial. Isso é certo”, declarou.  "Abusos" Aghion reconhece que os franceses querem mais justiça fiscal, mas propõe atacar o que ele chama de "abusos": empresas de fachada, manobras para escapar do imposto sobre a sucessão e a herança na França, e uso indevido de estruturas jurídicas, como as chamadas "holdings patrimoniais", para comprar bens de luxo.  "Tem gente que constitui uma holding na internet e é ela quem, no papel, compra seus chalés e aviões privativos, pagando muito menos imposto. Sou totalmente a favor de identificar, perseguir e combater fraudes e brechas como essa. Isso é legítimo. Pedimos a todos os franceses que se esforcem, não se pode então autorizar pessoas com mecanismos de otimização fiscal abusivos", avalia o especialista. “É preciso rastrear os abusos, como a criação dessas empresas falsas apenas para ajudar na transmissão de heranças e patrimônios. Sou totalmente a favor disso”, disse. Questionado sobre o programa econômico do partido de extrema direita Reunião Nacional (RN, sigla fundada pelo clan Le Pen em 1970, hoje presidida pelo jovem Jordan Bardella), que apresentou um orçamento paralelo com cortes de € 50 bilhões em gastos e € 14 bilhões em receitas, Aghion foi contundente: “São grandes amadores. Não são pessoas sérias. Não confiaria a eles as rédeas da França”. O economista reconheceu, no entanto, o sentimento de abandono que leva parte da população a apoiar o RN. “Há uma falência do Estado republicano [na França]. As pessoas sentem que a escola já não oferece as mesmas oportunidades, que não serão tratadas se adoecerem. Tentaram a direita, a esquerda, e foram abandonadas. Então tentam o que não foi tentado”, explicou, dizendo ter "máximo respeito" pela angústia dos eleitores. Leia tambémNa corrida mundial pela IA, UE aposta em proteção de dados para se diferenciar de excessos de concorrentes Aghion também desmontou as premissas do programa do RN, apontando que as economias previstas com imigração e preferência nacional são inconstitucionais e superestimadas. “As economias sobre fraudes são fantasiosas. Se fosse possível economizar € 5 bilhões com fraudes, já teríamos feito isso”, ironizou. Ele também criticou a proposta de cortar contribuições à União Europeia, lembrando que os agricultores franceses seriam os primeiros prejudicados. "Atraso europeu" Ao abordar o tema da inteligência artificial, Aghion lamentou o atraso europeu frente aos Estados Unidos, que desenvolveram 70% dos modelos fundamentais de IA entre 2017 e 2023. “O drama é que os grandes pesquisadores de IA são europeus e franceses. Temos engenheiros, matemáticos e cientistas da computação excelentes”, afirmou. Segundo ele, o problema está na falta de um ambiente favorável à criação de empresas inovadoras na França. “O high-tech é feito em outro lugar. Se quisermos que seja feito na Europa, precisamos de um verdadeiro mercado único, capital de risco, investidores institucionais e políticas proativas de inovação disruptiva”, afirmou. Para Philippe Aghion, o futuro da economia francesa depende de políticas públicas que incentivem inovação e apoio às empresas de tecnologia. Ele falou ainda sobre o que mudou em sua vida depois do Nobel.  "Eu ainda não me dou conta de que recebi o Prêmio Nobel, então ainda não consigo realizar... Eu não acreditava de jeito nenhum, em todo caso, que pudesse ganhar... E agora, é preciso ter cuidado com o que se diz. É preciso medir mais as palavras, porque, efetivamente, você sente que sua palavra conta mais quando você é um Nobel. E é preciso, pouco a pouco, acostumar-se com a ideia de que você não pode mais falar da mesma maneira", concluiu.

Notre époque ressemble à une mer sur laquelle il faut, contraint ou forcé, bien naviguer. Alors pour comprendre tous les ressacs de l'histoire, éviter les vagues scélérates et aller en profondeur dans les eaux troubles de la politique française et européenne, mieux vaut s'embarquer avec un capitaine au long cours. Cela tombe à pic car Jean-Yves Le Gallou vient de faire paraître ses Mémoires identitaires : 1968-2025 – Les dessous du Grand Basculement, aux éditions Via Romana. Aux côtés du politologue Jean-Yves Camus, journaliste et chercheur français spécialiste des mouvements nationalistes et identitaires en Europe, nous analyserons la montée des eaux depuis 1968. Que reste-t-il de l'idéologie soixante-huitarde et de ses hérauts recyclés dans le néoconservatisme ? Quelles idées, quels mots, quelles représentations se sont imposés pour orienter le cours de l'histoire ? Quelles écoles théoriques et idéologiques ont su résister au prêt à penser ? Autant de questions qu'il est nécessaire de poser sans oublier de remonter à la surface pour étudier les bancs de poissons conformistes de la politique et les grands prédateurs qui ont su s'imposer au cours des cinquante dernières années… Une plongée en eaux troubles en espérant que nos deux invités apportent un peu de clarté sur le paysage politique et idéologique de ces cinquante dernières années et les perspectives qui s'offrent à la France et à l'Europe plus que jamais à un tournant de leur histoire. Pour aborder ce sujet, nous recevons : - Jean-Yves Camus, politologue, dirige depuis 2014 l'Observatoire des radicalités politiques à la Fondation Jean-Jaurès. Chercheur associé à l'IRIS, il est également essayiste et collaborateur régulier de médias comme Charlie Hebdo et Le Monde diplomatique. - Jean-Yves Le Gallou, essayiste, haut fonctionnaire et homme politique français, a été membre du GRECE et cofondateur du Club de l'Horloge. Passé successivement par l'UDF, le FN puis le MNR, il a mené un parcours politique dense au cours duquel il a formulé et popularisé le concept de préférence nationale. Créateur du think tank Polémia, il a également cofondé en 2014 l'Institut Iliade. Vous pourrez retrouver les chroniques des auditeurs de l'Iliade : - "Perspectives identitaires" de Raphaël Ayma, auditeur de la promotion Frédéric Mistral de l'Institut Iliade. - Autour d'un vers, le rendez-vous poétique de Frédérique de Saint-Quio, auditrice de la promotion Homère. - Les chroniques musicales de Pierre Leprince, auditeur de la promotion Patrick Pearse de l'Iliade. - La boussole artistique de Gabrielle Fouquet, auditrice de la promotion Homère.Hébergé par Ausha.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, we are at the Marketing AI Conference, Macon 2025 in Cleveland with 1,500 of our best friends. This morning, the CEO of SmartRx, formerly the Marketing AI Institute, Paul Ritzer, was talking about the future of work. Now, before I go down a long rabbit hole, Dave, what was your immediate impressions, takeaways from Paul’s talk? Katie Robbert – 00:23 Paul always brings this really interesting perspective because he’s very much a futurist, much like yourself, but he’s a futurist in a different way. Whereas you’re on the future of the technology, he’s focused on the future of the business and the people. And so his perspective was really, “AI is going to take your job.” If we had to underscore it, that was the bottom line: AI is going to take your job. However, how can you be smarter about it? How can you work with it instead of working against it? Obviously, he didn’t have time to get into every single individual solution. Katie Robbert – 01:01 The goal of his keynote talk was to get us all thinking, “Oh, so if AI is going to take my job, how do I work with AI versus just continuing to fight against it so that I’m never going to get ahead?” I thought that was a really interesting way to introduce the conference as a whole, where every individual session is going to get into their soldiers. Christopher S. Penn – 01:24 The chart that really surprised me was one of those, “Oh, he actually said the quiet part out loud.” He showed the SaaS business chart: SaaS software is $500 billion of economic value. Of course, AI companies are going, “Yeah, we want that money. We want to take all that money.” But then he brought up the labor chart, which is $12 trillion of money, and says, “This is what the AI companies really want. They want to take all $12 trillion and keep it for themselves and fire everybody,” which is the quiet part out loud. Even if they take 20% of that, that’s still, obviously, what is it, $2 trillion, give or take? When we think about what that means for human beings, that’s basically saying, “I want 20% of the workforce to be unemployed.” Katie Robbert – 02:15 And he wasn’t shy about saying that. Unfortunately, that is the message that a lot of the larger companies are promoting right now. So the question then becomes, what does that mean for that 20%? They have to pivot. They have to learn new skills, or—the big thing, and you and I have talked about this quite a bit this year—is you really have to tap into that critical thinking. That was one of the messages that Paul was sharing in the keynote: go to school, get your liberal art degree, and focus on critical thinking. AI is going to do the rest of it. Katie Robbert – 02:46 So when we look at the roles that are up for grabs, a lot of it was in management, a lot of it was in customer service, a lot of it was in analytics—things that already have a lot of automation around them. So why not naturally let agentic AI take over, and then you don’t need human intervention at all? So then, where does that leave the human? Katie Robbert – 03:08 We’re the ones who have to think what’s next. One of the things that Paul did share was that the screenwriter for all of the Scorsese films was saying that ChatGPT gave me better ideas. We don’t know what those exact prompts looked like. We don’t know how much context was given. We don’t know how much background information. But if that was sue and I, his name was Paul. Paul Schrader. Yes, I forgot it for a second. If Paul Schrader can look at Paul Schrader’s work, then he’s the expert. That’s the thing that I think needed to also be underscored: Paul Schrader is the expert in Paul Schrader. Paul Schrader is the expert in screenwriting those particular genre films. Nobody else can do that. Katie Robbert – 03:52 So Paul Schrader is the only one who could have created the contextual information for those large language models. He still has value, and he’s the one who’s going to take the ideas given by the large language models and turn them into something. The large language model might give him an idea, but he needs to be the one to flush it out, start to finish, because he’s the one who understands nuance. He’s the one who understands, “If I give this to a Leonardo DiCaprio, what is he gonna do with the role? How is he gonna think about it?” Because then you’re starting to get into all of the different complexities where no one individual ever truly works alone. You have a lot of other humans. Katie Robbert – 04:29 I think that’s the part that we haven’t quite gotten to, is sure, generative AI can give you a lot of information, give you a lot of ideas, and do a lot of the work. But when you start incorporating more humans into a team, the nuance—it’s very discreet. It’s very hard for an AI to pick up. You still need humans to do those pieces. Christopher S. Penn – 04:49 When you take a look, though, at something like the Tilly Norwood thing from a couple weeks ago, even there, it’s saying, “Let’s take fewer humans in there,” where you have this completely machine generated actor avatar, I guess. It was very clearly made to replace a human there because they’re saying, “This is great. They don’t have to pay union wages. The actor never calls in sick. The actor never takes a vacation. The actor’s not going to be partying at a club unless someone makes it do that.” When we look at that big chart of, “Here’s all the jobs that are up for grabs,” the $12 trillion of economic value, when you look at that, how at risk do you think your average person is? Katie Robbert – 05:39 The key word in there is average. An average person is at risk. Because if an average person isn’t thinking about things creatively, or if they’re just saying, “Oh, this is what I have to do today, let me just do it. Let me just do the bare minimum, get through it.” Yes, that person is at risk. But someone who looks at a problem or a task that’s in front of them and thinks, “What are the five different ways that I could approach this? Let me sit down for a second, really plan it out. What am I not thinking of? What have I not asked? What’s the information I don’t have in front of me? Let me go find that”—that person is less at risk because they are able to think beyond what’s right in front of them. Katie Robbert – 06:17 I think that is going to be harder to replace. So, for example, I do operations, I’m a CEO. I set the vision. You could theoretically give that to an AI to do. I could create CEO Katie GPT. And GPT Katie could set the vision, based on everything I know: “This is the direction that your company should go in.” What that generative AI doesn’t know is what I know—what we’ve tried, what we haven’t tried. I could give it all that information and it could still say, “Okay, it sounds like you’ve tried this.” But then it doesn’t necessarily know conversations that I’ve had with you offline about certain things. Could I give it all that information? Sure. But then now I’m introducing another person into the conversation. And as predictable as humans are, we’re unpredictable. Katie Robbert – 07:13 So you might say, “Katie would absolutely say this to something.” And I’m going to look at it and go, “I would absolutely not say that.” We’ve actually run into that with our account manager where she’s like, “Well, this is how I thought you would respond. This is how I thought you would post something on social media.” I’m like, “Absolutely not. That doesn’t sound like me at all.” She’s like, “But that’s what the GPT gave me that is supposed to sound like you.” I’m like, “Well, it’s wrong because I’m allowed to change my mind. I’m a human.” And GPTs or large language models don’t have that luxury of just changing its mind and just kind of winging it, if that makes sense. Christopher S. Penn – 07:44 It does. What percentage, based on your experience in managing people, what percentage of people are that exceptional person versus the average or the below average? Katie Robbert – 07:55 A small percentage, unfortunately, because it comes down to two things: consistency and motivation. First, you have to be consistent and do your thing well all the time. In order to be consistent, you have to be motivated. So it’s not enough to just show up, check the boxes, and then go about your day, because anybody can do that; AI can do that. You have to be motivated to want to learn more, to want to do more. So the people who are demonstrating a hunger for reaching—what do they call it?—punching above their weight, reaching beyond what they have, those are the people who are going to be less vulnerable because they’re willing to learn, they’re willing to adapt, they’re willing to be agile. Christopher S. Penn – 08:37 For a while now we’ve been saying that either you’re going to manage the machines or the machines are going to manage you. And now of course we are at the point the machine is just going to manage the machines and you are replaced. Given so few people have that intrinsic motivation, is that teachable or is that something that someone has to have—that inner desire to want to better, regardless of training? Katie Robbert – 09:08 “Teachable” I think is the wrong word. It’s more something that you have to tap into with someone. This is something that you’ve talked about before: what motivates people—money, security, blah, blah, whatever, all those different things. You can say, “I’m going to motivate you by dangling money in front of you,” or, “I’m going to motivate you by dangling time off in front of you.” I’m not teaching you anything. I’m just tapping into who you are as a person by understanding your motives, what motivates you, what gets you excited. I feel fairly confident in saying that your motivations, Chris, are to be the smartest person in the room or to have the most knowledge about your given industry so that you can be considered an expert. Katie Robbert – 09:58 That’s something that you’re going to continue to strive for. That’s what motivates you, in addition to financial security, in addition to securing a good home life for your family. That’s what motivates you. So as I, the other human in the company, think about it, I’m like, “What is going to motivate Chris to get his stuff done?” Okay, can I position it as, “If you do this, you’re going to be the smartest person in the room,” or, “If you do this, you’re going to have financial security?” And you’re like, “Oh, great, those are things I care about. Great, now I’m motivated to do them.” Versus if I say, “If you do this, I’ll get off your back.” That’s not enough motivation because you’re like, “Well, you’re going to be on my back anyway.” Katie Robbert – 10:38 Why bother with this thing when it’s just going to be the next thing the next day? So it’s not a matter of teaching people to be motivated. It’s a matter of, if you’re the person who has to do the motivating, finding what motivates someone. And that’s a very human thing. That’s as old as humans are—finding what people are passionate about, what gets them out of bed in the morning. Christopher S. Penn – 11:05 Which is a complex interplay. If you think about the last five years, we’ve had a lot of discussions about things like quiet quitting, where people show up to work to do the bare minimum, where workers have recognized companies don’t have their back at all. Katie Robbert – 11:19 We have culture and pizza on Fridays. Christopher S. Penn – 11:23 At 5:00 PM when everyone wants to just— Katie Robbert – 11:25 Go home and float in that day. Christopher S. Penn – 11:26 Exactly. Given that, does that accelerate the replacement of those workers? Katie Robbert – 11:37 When we talk about change management, we talk about down to the individual level. You have to be explaining to each and every individual, “What’s in it for me?” If you’re working for a company that’s like, “Well, what’s in it for you is free pizza Fridays and funny hack days and Hawaiian shirt day,” that doesn’t put money in their bank account. That doesn’t put a roof over their head; that doesn’t put food on their table, maybe unless they bring home one of the free pizzas. But that’s once a week. What about the other six days a week? That’s not enough motivation for someone to stay. I’ve been in that position, you’ve been in that position. My first thought is, “Well, maybe stop spending money on free pizza and pay me more.” Katie Robbert – 12:19 That would motivate me, that would make me feel valued. If you said, “You can go buy your own pizza because now you can afford it,” that’s a motivator. But companies aren’t thinking about it that way. They’re looking at employees as just expendable cogs that they can rip and replace. Twenty other people would be happy to do the job that you’re unhappy doing. That’s true, but that’s because companies are setting up people to fail, not to succeed. Christopher S. Penn – 12:46 And now with machinery, you’re saying, “Okay, since there’s a failing cog anyway, why don’t we replace it with an actual cog instead?” So where does this lead for companies? Particularly in capitalist markets where there is no strong social welfare net? Yeah, obviously if you go to France, you can work a 30-hour week and be just fine. But we don’t live in France. France, if you’re hiring, we’re available. Where does it lead? Because I can definitely see one road where this leads to basically where France ended up in 1789, which is the Guillotines. These people trot out the Guillotines because after a certain point, income inequality leads to that stuff. Where does this lead for the market as you see it now? Katie Robbert – 13:39 Unfortunately, nowhere good. We have seen time and time again, as much as we want to see the best in people, we’re seeing the worst in people today, as of this podcast recording—not at Macon. These are some of the best people. But when you step outside of this bubble, you’re seeing the worst in people. They’re motivated by money and money only, money and power. They don’t care about humanity as a whole. They’re like, “I don’t care if you’re poor, get poorer, I’m getting richer.” I feel like, unfortunately, that is the message that is being sent. “If you can make a dollar, go ahead and make a dollar. Don’t worry about what that does to anybody else. Go ahead and be in it for yourself.” Katie Robbert – 14:24 And that’s unfortunately where I see a lot of companies going: we’re just in it to make money. We no longer care about the welfare of our people. I’ve talked on previous shows, on previous podcasts. My husband works for a grocery store that was bought out by Amazon a few years ago, and he’s seeing the effects of that daily. Amazon bought this grocery chain and said basically, “We don’t actually care about the people. We’re going to automate things. We’re going to introduce artificial intelligence.” They’ve gotten rid of HR. He still has to bring home a physical check because there is no one to give him paperwork to do direct deposit. Christopher S. Penn – 15:06 He’s been—ironic given the company. Katie Robbert – 15:08 And he’s been at the company for 25 years. But when they change things over, if he has an assurance question, there’s no one to go to. They probably have chatbots and an email distribution list that goes to somebody in an inbox that never. It’s so sad to see the decline based on where the company started and what the mission originally was of that company to where it is today. His suspicion—and this is not confirmed—his suspicion is that they are gearing up to sell this business, this grocery chain, to another grocery chain for profit and get rid of it. Flipping it, basically. Right now, they’re using it as a distribution center, which is not what it’s meant to be. Katie Robbert – 15:56 And now they’re going to flip it to another grocery store chain because they’ve gotten what they needed from it. Who cares about the people? Who cares about the fact that he as an individual has to work 50 hours a week because there’s nobody else? They’ve flattened the company. They’re like, “No, based on our AI scheduler, there’s plenty of people to cover all of these hours seven days a week.” And he’s like, “Yeah, you have me on there for seven of the seven days.” Because the AI is not thinking about work-life balance. It’s like, “Well, this individual is available at these times, so therefore he must be working here.” And it’s not going to do good things for people in services industries, for people in roles that cannot be automated. Katie Robbert – 16:41 So we talk about customer service—that’s picking up the phone, logging a plate—that can be automated. Walking into a brick and mortar, there are absolutely parts of it that can be automated, specifically the end purchase transaction. But the actual ordering and picking of things and preparing it—sure, you could argue that eventually robots could be doing that, but as of today, that’s all humans. And those humans are being treated so poorly. Christopher S. Penn – 17:08 So where does that end for this particular company or any large enterprise? Katie Robbert – 17:14 They really have—they have to make decisions: do they want to put the money first or the people first? And you already know what the answer to that is. That’s really what it comes down to. When it ends, it doesn’t end. Even if they get sold, they’re always going to put the money first. If they have massive turnover, what do they care? They’re going to find somebody else who’s willing to do that work. Think about all of those people who were just laid off from the white-collar jobs who are like, “Oh crap, I still have a mortgage I have to pay, I still have a family I have to feed. Let me go get one of those jobs that nobody else is now willing to do.” Katie Robbert – 17:51 I feel like that’s the way that the future of work for those people who are left behind is going to turn over. Katie Robbert – 17:59 There’s a lot of people who are happy doing those jobs. I love doing more of what’s considered the blue-collar job—doing things manually, getting their hands in it, versus automating everything. But that’s me personally; that’s what motivates me. That I would imagine is very unappealing to you. Not that for almost. But if cooking’s off the table, there’s a lot of other things that you could do, but would you do them? Katie Robbert – 18:29 So when we talk about what’s going to happen to those people who are cut and left behind, those are the choices they’re going to have to make because there’s not going to be more tech jobs for them to choose from. And if you are someone in your career who has only ever focused on one thing, you’re definitely in big trouble. Christopher S. Penn – 18:47 Yeah, I have a friend who’s a lawyer at a nonprofit, and they’re like, “Yeah, we have no funding anymore, so.” But I can’t pick up and go to England because I can’t practice law there. Katie Robbert – 18:59 Right. I think about people. Forever, social media was it. You focus on social media and you are set. Anybody will hire you because they’re trying to learn how to master social media. Guess where there’s no jobs anymore? Social media. So if all you know is social media and you haven’t diversified your skill set, you’re cooked, you’re done. You’re going to have to start at ground zero entry level. If there’s that. And that’s the thing that’s going to be tough because entry-level jobs—exactly. Christopher S. Penn – 19:34 We saw, what was it, the National Labor Relations Board publish something a couple months ago saying that the unemployment rate for new college graduates is something 60% higher than the rest of the workforce because all the entry-level jobs have been consumed. Katie Robbert – 19:46 Right. I did a talk earlier this year at WPI—that’s Worcester Polytech in Massachusetts—through the Women in Data Science organization. We were answering questions basically like this about the future of work for AI. At a technical college, there are a lot of people who are studying engineering, there are a lot of people who are studying software development. That was one of the first questions: “I’m about to get my engineering degree, I’m about to get my software development degree. What am I supposed to do?” My response to that is, you still need to understand how the thing works. We were talking about this in our AI for Analytics workshop yesterday that we gave here at Macon. In order to do coding in generative AI effectively, you have to understand the software development life cycle. Katie Robbert – 20:39 There is still a need for the expertise. People are asking, “What do I do?” Focus on becoming an expert. Focus on really mastering the thing that you’re passionate about, the thing that you want to learn about. You’ll be the one teaching the AI, setting up the AI, consulting with the people who are setting up the AI. There’ll be plenty of practitioners who can push the buttons and set up agents, but they still need the experts to tell them what it’s supposed to do and what the output’s supposed to be. Christopher S. Penn – 21:06 Do you see—this is kind of a trick question—do you see the machines consuming that expertise? Katie Robbert – 21:15 Oh, sure. But this is where we go back to what we were talking about: the more people, the more group think—which I hate that term—but the more group think you introduce, the more nuanced it is. When you and I sit down, for example, when we actually have five minutes to sit down and talk about the future of our business, where we want to go or what we’re working on today, the amount of information we can iterate on because we know each other so well and almost don’t have to speak in complete sentences and just can sort of pick up what the other person is thinking. Or I can look at something you’re writing and say, “Hey, I had an idea about that.” We can do that as humans because we know each other so well. Katie Robbert – 21:58 I don’t think—and you’re going to tell me this is going to happen—unless we can actually plug or forge into our brains and download all of the things. That’s never going to happen. Even if we build Katie GPT and Chris GPT and have them talk to each other, they’re never going to brainstorm the way you and I brainstorm in real life. Especially if you give me a whiteboard. I’m good. I’m going to get so much done. Christopher S. Penn – 22:25 For people who are in their career right now, what do they do? You can tell somebody, “You need to be a good critical thinker, a creative thinker, a contextual thinker. You need to know where your data lives and things like that.” But the technology is advancing at such a fast rate. I talk about this in the workshops that we do—which, by the way, Trust Insights is offering workshops at your company, if we like one. But one of the things to talk about is, say, with the model’s acceleration in terms of growth, they’re growing faster than any technology ever has. They went from face rolling idiot in 2023 right to above PhD level in everything two years later. Christopher S. Penn – 23:13 So the people who, in their career, are looking at this, going, “It’s like a bad Stephen King movie where you see the thing coming across the horizon.” Katie Robbert – 23:22 There is no such thing as a bad Stephen King movie. Sometimes the book is better, but it’s still good. But yes, maybe *Creepshow*. What do you mean in terms of how do they prepare for the inevitable? Christopher S. Penn – 23:44 Prepare for the inevitable. Because to tell somebody, “Yeah, be a critical thinker, be a contextual thinker, be a creative thinker”—that’s good in the abstract. But then you’re like, “Well, my—yeah, my—and my boss says we’re doing a 10% headcount reduction this week.” Katie Robbert – 24:02 This is my personal way of approaching it: you can’t limit yourself to just go, “Okay, think about it. Okay, I’m thinking.” You actually have to educate yourself on a variety of different things. I am a voracious reader. I read all the time when I’m not working. In the past three weeks, I’ve read four books. And they’re not business books; they are fiction books and on a variety of things. But what that does is it keeps my brain active. It keeps my brain thinking. Then I give myself the space and time. When I walk my dog, I sort of process all of it. I think about it, and then I start thinking about, “What are we doing as our company today?” or, “What’s on the task list?” Katie Robbert – 24:50 Because I’ve expanded my personal horizons beyond what’s right in front of me, I can think about it from the perspective of other people, fictional or otherwise, “How would this person approach it?” or, “What would I do in that scenario?” Even as I’m reading these books, I start to think about myself. I’m like, “What would I do in that scenario? What would I do if I was finding myself on a road trip with a cannibal who, at the end of the road trip, was likely going to consume all of me, including my bones?” It was the last book I read, and it was definitely not what I thought I was signing up for. But you start to put yourself in those scenarios. Katie Robbert – 25:32 That’s what I personally think unlocks the critical thinking, because you’re not just stuck in, “Okay, I have a math problem. I have 1 + 1.” That’s where a lot of people think critical thinking starts and ends. They think, “Well, if I can solve that problem, I’m a critical thinker.” No, there’s only one way to solve that problem. That’s it. I personally would encourage people to expand their horizons, and this comes through having hobbies. You like to say that you work 24/7. That’s not true. You have hobbies, but they’re hobbies that help you be creative. They’re hobbies that help you connect with other people so that you can have those shared experiences, but also learn from people from different cultures, different backgrounds, different experiences. Katie Robbert – 26:18 That’s what’s going to help you be a stronger, fitable thinker, because you’re not just thinking about it from your perspective. Christopher S. Penn – 26:25 Switching gears, what was missing, what’s been missing, and what is absent from this show in the AI space? I have an answer, but I want to hear yours. Katie Robbert – 26:36 Oh, boy. Really putting me on the spot here. I know what is missing. I don’t know. I’m going to think about it, and I am going to get back to you. As we all know, I am not someone who can think on my feet as quickly as you can. So I will take time, I will process it, but I will come back to you. What do you think is missing? Christopher S. Penn – 27:07 One of the things that is a giant blind spot in the AI space right now is it is a very Western-centric view. All the companies say OpenAI and Anthropic and Google and Meta and stuff like that. Yet when you look at the leaderboards online of whose models are topping the charts—Cling Wan, Alibaba, Quinn, Deepseek—these are all Chinese-made models. If you look at the chip sets being used, the government of China itself just issued an edict: “No more Nvidia chips. We are going to use Huawei Ascend 920s now,” which are very good at what they do. And the Chinese models themselves, these companies are just giving them away to the world. Christopher S. Penn – 27:54 They’re not trying to lock you in like a ChatGPT is. The premise for them, for basically the rest of the world that is in America, is, “Hey, you could take American AI where you’re locked in and you’re gonna spend more and more money, or here’s a Chinese model for free and you can build your national infrastructure on the free stuff that we’re gonna give you.” I’ve seen none of that here. That is completely absent from any of the discussions about what other nations are doing with AI. The EU has Mistral and Black Forest Labs, Sub-Saharan Africa has Lilapi AI. Singapore has Sea Lion, Korea has LG, the appliance maker, and their models. Of course, China has a massive footprint in the space. I don’t see that reflected anywhere here. Christopher S. Penn – 28:46 It’s not in the conversations, it’s not in the hallways, it’s not on stage. And to me, that is a really big blind spot if you think—as many people do—that that is your number one competitor on the world stage. Katie Robbert – 28:57 Why do you think? Christopher S. Penn – 29:01 That’s a very complicated question. But it involves racism, it involves a substantial language barrier, it involves economics. When your competitor is giving away everything for free, you’re like, “Well, let’s just pretend they’re not there because we don’t want to draw any attention to them.” And it is also a deep, deep-seated fear. When you look at all of the papers that are being submitted by Google and Facebook and all these other different companies and you look at the last names of the principal investigators and stuff, nine out of 10 times it’s a name that’s coded as an ethnic Chinese name. China produces more PhDs than I think America produces students, just by population dynamics alone. You have this massive competitor, and it almost feels like people just want to put their heads in the sand and say they’re not there. Christopher S. Penn – 30:02 It’s like the boogeyman, they’re not there. And yet if we’re talking about the deployment of AI globally, the folks here should be aware that is a thing that is not just the Sam Alton Show. Katie Robbert – 30:18 I think perhaps then, as we’re talking about the future of work and big companies, small companies, mid-sized companies, this goes sort of back to what I was saying: you need to expand your horizons of thinking. “Well, we’re a domestic company. Why do I need to worry about what China’s doing?” Take a look at your tech stack, and where are those software packages created? Who’s maintaining them? It’s probably not all domestic; it’s probably more of a global firm than you think you are. But we think about it in terms of who do we serve as customers, not what we are using internally. We know people like Paul has talked about operating systems, Ginny Dietrich has talked about operating systems. Katie Robbert – 31:02 That’s really sort of where you have to start thinking more globally in terms of, “What am I actually bringing into my organization?” Not just my customer base, not just the markets that I’m going after, not just my sales team territories, but what is actually powering my company. That’s, I think, to your point—that’s where you can start thinking more globally even if your customer base isn’t global. That might theoretically help you with that critical thinking to start expanding beyond your little homogeneous bubble. Christopher S. Penn – 31:35 Even something like this has been a topic in the news recently. Rare earth minerals, which are not rare, they’re actually very commonplace. There’s just not much of them in any one spot. But China is the only economy on the planet that has figured out how to industrialize them safely. They produce 85% of it on the planet. And that powers your smartphone, that powers your refrigerator, your car and, oh by the way, all of the AI chips. Even things like that affect the future of work and the future of AI because you basically have one place that has a monopoly on this. The same for the Netherlands. The Netherlands is the only country on the planet that produces a certain kind of machine that is used to create these chips for AI. Christopher S. Penn – 32:17 If that company goes away or something, the planet as a whole is like, “Well, I figured they need to come up with an alternative.” So to your point, we have a lot of these choke points in the AI value chain that could be blockers. Again, that’s not something that you hear. I’ve not heard that at any conference. Katie Robbert – 32:38 As we’re thinking about the future of work, which is what we’re talking about on today’s podcast at Macon, 1,500 people in Cleveland. I guarantee they’re going to do it again next year. So if you’re not here this year, definitely sign up for next year. Take a look at the Smarter X and their academy. It’s all good stuff, great people. I think—and this was the question Paul was asking in his keynote—”Where do we go from here?” The— Katie Robbert – 33:05 The atmosphere. Yes. We don’t need—we don’t need to start singing. I do not need. With more feeling. I do get that reference. You’re welcome. But one of the key takeaways is there are more questions than answers. You and I are asking each other questions, but there are more questions than answers. And if we think we have all of the answers, we’re wrong. We have the answers that are sufficient enough for today to keep our business moving forward. But we have to keep asking new questions. That also goes into that critical thinking. You need to be comfortable not knowing. You need to be comfortable asking questions, and you need to be comfortable doing that research and seeking it out and maybe getting it wrong, but then continuing to learn from it. Christopher S. Penn – 33:50 And the future of work, I mean, it really is a very cloudy crystal wall. We have no idea. One of the things that Paul pointed out really well was you have different scaling laws depending on where you are in AI. He could have definitely spent some more time on that, but I understand it was a keynote, not a deep dive. There’s more to that than even that. And they do compound each other, which is what’s creating this ridiculously fast pace of AI evolution. There’s at least one more on the way, which means that the ability for these tools to be superhuman across tasks is going to be here sooner than people think. Paul was saying by 2026, 2027, that’s what we’ll start to see. Robotics, depends on where you are. Christopher S. Penn – 34:41 What’s coming out of Chinese labs for robots is jaw dropping. Katie Robbert – 34:45 I don’t want to know. I don’t want to know. I’ve seen *Ex Machina*, and I don’t want to know. Yeah, no. To your point, I think a lot of people bury their head in the sand because of fear. But in order to, again, it sort of goes back to that critical thinking, you have to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. I’m sort of joking: “I don’t want to know. I’ve seen *Ex Machina*.” But I do want to know. I do need to know. I need to understand. Do I want to be the technologist? No. But I need to play with these tools enough that I feel I understand how they work. Yesterday I was playing in Opal. I’m going to play in N8N. Katie Robbert – 35:24 It’s not my primary function, but it helps me better understand where you’re coming from and the questions that our clients are asking. That, in a very simple way to me, is the future of work: that at least I’m willing to stretch myself and keep exploring and be uncomfortable so that I can say I’m not static. Christopher S. Penn – 35:46 I think one of the things that 3M was very well known for in the day was the 20% rule, where an employee, as part of their job, could have 20% of the time just work on side projects related to the company. That’s how Post-it Notes got invented, I think. I think in the AI forward era that we’re in, companies do need to make that commitment again to the 20% rule. Not necessarily just messing around, but specifically saying you should be spending 20% of your time with AI to figure out how to use it, to figure out how to do some of those tasks yourself, so that instead of being replaced by the machine, you’re the one who’s at least running the machine. Because if you don’t do that, then the person in the next cubicle will. Christopher S. Penn – 36:33 And then the company’s like, “Well, we used to have 10 people, we only need two. And you’re not one of the two who has figured out how to use this thing to do that. So out you go.” Katie Robbert – 36:41 I think that was what Paul was doing in his AI for Productivity workshop yesterday, was giving people the opportunity to come up with those creative ideas. Our friend Andy Crestadino was relaying a story yesterday to us of a very similar vein where someone was saying, “I’ll give you $5,000. Create whatever you want.” And the thing that the person created was so mind-blowing and so useful that he was like, “Look what happens when I just let people do something creative.” But if we bring it sort of back whole circle, what’s the motivation? Why are people doing it in the first place? Katie Robbert – 37:14 It has to be something that they’re passionate about, and that’s going to really be what drives the future of work in terms of being able to sustain while working alongside AI, versus, “This is all I know how to do. This is all I ever want to know how to do.” Yes, AI is going over your job. Christopher S. Penn – 37:33 So I guess wrapping up, we definitely want you thinking creatively, critically, contextually. Know where your data is, know where your ideas come from, broaden your horizons so that you have more ideas, and be able to be one of the people who knows how to call BS on the machines and say, “That’s completely wrong, ChatGPT.” Beyond that, everyone has an obligation to try to replace themselves with the machines before someone else does it to you. Katie Robbert – 38:09 I think again, to plug Macon, which is where we are as we’re recording this episode, this is a great starting point for expanding your horizons because the amount of people that you get to network with are from different companies, different experiences, different walks of life. You can go to the sessions, learn it from their point of view. You can listen to Paul’s keynote. If you think you already know everything about your job, you’re failing. Take the time to learn where other people are coming from. It may not be immediately relevant to you, but it could stick with you. Something may resonate, something might spark a new idea. Katie Robbert – 38:46 I feel like we’re pretty far along in our AI journey, but in sitting in Paul’s keynote, I had two things that stuck out to me: “Oh, that’s a great idea. I want to go do that.” That’s great. I wouldn’t have gotten that otherwise if I didn’t step out of my comfort zone and listen to someone else’s point of view. That’s really how people are going to grow, and that’s that critical thinking—getting those shared experiences and getting that brainstorming and just community. Christopher S. Penn – 39:12 Exactly.

ChatGPT ,Mistral & Co. kennt jeder – aber haben Sie schon von „Lisa“ und „Luis“ gehört? Die Hochschule Hof hat kurzerhand ihre eigenen Sprachmodelle auf Basis von Open Source gebaut. Warum? Weil Datenschutz, Flexibilität und Unabhängigkeit eben mehr sind als Buzzwords.Doch wie schlägt sich eine Campus-KI wirklich im Vergleich zu den großen US-Giganten? Welche überraschenden Vorteile bringt es, wenn alle Daten sicheran der Hochschule bleiben? Was passiert, wenn Studierende bewusst lernen, auch mal der KI zu widersprechen? Und wie verändert Künstliche Intelligenz Lehre, Forschung und Verwaltung an einer Hochschule ganz konkret?Professor Dr. Sven Rill vom Lehrstuhl für Mobile Computing nimmt uns im Podcast mit hinter die Kulissen: von der ersten Idee bis zum Praxiseinsatz. Ein spannendes Gespräch über die Frage, wie man Innovation selbst in die Hand nimmt, welche Chancen sich durch maßgeschneiderte Lösungen eröffnen – und wie verantwortungsvoll entwickelte KI einen echten Wettbewerbsvorteil schaffen kann. KI-Anwenderzentrum: https://ki-awz.iisys.de/FürStudierende: https://ki-awz.iisys.de/fuer-studierende/Infos zu Lisa und Luis: https://campuls.hof-university.de/wissenschaft-forschung/eigene-ki-tools-der-hochschule-hof-text-und-bilderstellung-mit-lisa-und-luis/

Un pas de plus vers une IA souveraine et européenne

Was gibt's Neues in Sachen KI? Wir sprechen über KI-generierte Kurzvideos mit CapCut, haben Riverside Magic Clips ausprobiert und diskutieren, wie sich der neue KI-Modus von Google auf die Suche im Netz auswirkt.

Dimanche (19 octobre 2025), la Bolivie basculera officiellement à droite. Le second tour de l'élection présidentielle verra s'affronter le conservateur Jorge Quiroga et le candidat de centre-droit Rodrigo Paz Pereria. Tous les deux ont beaucoup parlé pendant la campagne de la lutte contre le trafic de drogue qui augmente dans le pays depuis quelques années, promettant une approche musclée. Après 20 ans de politiques favorables aux cocaleros, le retour de la droite au pouvoir devrait marquer un vrai tournant dans un pays où la culture de coca est légale par endroits. Reportage de notre correspondant, Nils Sabin.   Départ de l'amiral américain chargé de superviser les frappes dans les Caraïbes Les États-Unis ont à nouveau bombardé ce jeudi (16 octobre) un navire qui, selon eux, transportait de la drogue, et naviguait dans les Caraïbes. C'est la sixième frappe de ce genre depuis début septembre 2025 et le déploiement de navires de guerre américains dans la zone, et pour la première fois, il y aurait des survivants, selon CBS, CNN et NBC. Cette stratégie agressive des États-Unis est loin de faire l'unanimité. L'amiral Alvin Holsey, commandant des forces américaines pour l'Amérique du Sud et l'Amérique centrale, quittera la Marine le 12 décembre. Il part au bout d'un an alors que normalement, on reste trois ans à ce poste, et alors qu'est en cours la plus grosse opération qu'il ait eue à gérer pendant ses 37 ans de carrière, relève le New York Times. C'est un «départ soudain et surprenant», renchérit le Washington Post. Alvin Holsey n'a pas justifié sa décision, mais d'après le New York Times, l'amiral n'est pas d'accord avec cette intervention dans les Caraïbes. Une intervention décidée par la Maison Blanche sans qu'il ne soit vraiment consulté et dont la légalité interroge, rappelle encore le quotidien. Pour de nombreux experts, Donald Trump n'a pas le droit de tuer des trafiquants de drogue présumés comme s'ils appartenaient à une armée ennemie. Il devrait les arrêter et les traduire en justice. Le journal souligne également qu'Alvin Holsey a rendu public son départ au lendemain de l'annonce par Donald Trump d'opérations clandestines de la CIA au Venezuela.   A. Holsey poussé vers la sortie ? Pour le Washington Post, Alvin Holsey ne serait pas parti de lui-même. Il aurait été poussé vers la sortie par Pete Hegseth qui voulait s'en débarrasser depuis un mois. Le ministre de la Défense estime que l'armée en a trop fait en matière d'inclusion et de diversité. Or, Alvin Holsey est noir. C'est même le premier Afro-Américain à occuper le poste de commandant des forces américaines pour l'Amérique du Sud et l'Amérique centrale, insiste le Miami Herald. Le New York Times, lui aussi, y voit un facteur d'explication : comme Alvin Holsey, une douzaine de hauts responsables militaires américains ont quitté l'armée depuis le retour de Donald Trump au pouvoir et la plupart d'entre eux étaient noirs, précise le journal. Ou bien des femmes, complète le Washington Post.   La vice-présidente vénézuélienne dément négocier avec Washington le départ de Nicolas Maduro «FAKE !!», a écrit Delcy Rodriguez sur Telegram après des révélations du Miami Herald qui affirme que la vice-présidente a offert aux États-Unis à deux reprises, en avril et en septembre, de remplacer le président vénézuélien. Des offres de services faites par l'intermédiaire du Qatar et avec l'accord de Nicolas Maduro. Delcy Rodriguez se serait présentée comme «une version adoucie du chavisme conçue pour permettre une transition sans rupture brutale et sans démanteler les structures fondamentales du régime», explique encore le Miami Herald.   Nouvelle flambée de choléra en Haïti Gazette Haïti a pu consulter une note officielle publiée le 15 octobre par le ministère de la Santé. Selon ce document, 112 cas suspects ont été recensés. 10 sont confirmés. Il y a déjà eu 2 décès et 43 personnes sont hospitalisées. «Après plusieurs mois de relative accalmie, la maladie refait surface dans plusieurs communes de la région métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince, notamment à Delmas, Cité-Soleil et Pétion-Ville, désormais placées en alerte rouge par les autorités sanitaires», explique Gazette Haïti. Le ministère de la Santé a lancé des actions, comme la désinfection de sources d'eau. Mais, écrit le journal, «cette résurgence du choléra rappelle la fragilité du système sanitaire haïtien face aux crises hydriques et environnementales, mais aussi la nécessité d'une mobilisation collective pour éviter une propagation à grande échelle.» Toujours la faim en Haïti Près de la moitié de la population haïtienne souffre de faim aiguë, tant dans les zones rurales que dans les villes. Pour remédier à cette situation, il faut non seulement une aide d'urgence mais aussi un soutien plus durable pour que les Haïtiens arrivent à préserver des moyens de se nourrir et à produire de meilleurs aliments. C'est le message de la FAO, l'organisation des Nations unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture. Alice Froussard a interviewé son représentant en Haïti, Pierre Vauthier.   Le Chili à la conquête de l'IA Après Chat GPT ou Gemini aux US, Deepseek en Chine ou encore Mistral en France, il y aura peut-être bientôt Latam GPT. Le Chili qui espère se faire une place dans le secteur crucial de l'intelligence artificielle générative, multiplie les projets et investit dans des infrastructures. C'est un reportage de Naïla Derroisné.   Le journal de la 1ère Construire un avenir différent à condition de le faire ensemble. C'est l'appel lancé ce jeudi (16 octobre 2025) par le président de l'Association Martiniquaise pour la promotion de l'industrie.

In 1945, the Nobel Committee awarded its prize for literature to Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) "for her lyric poetry which, inspired by powerful emotions, has made her name a symbol of the idealistic aspirations of the entire Latin American world." Born in a rural Andean valley and abandoned by her free-spirited father at the age of three, Mistral struggled for the right to be a teacher - and then went on to help reform the Chilean educational system to improve the lives of women and the impoverished. After experiencing heartbreak and several tragedies, her poetry collection Desolación ("Desolation" or "Despair") (1922) made her one of Latin America's most revered writers. In this episode, Jacke looks at the life and works of this remarkable poet, whose constant search for truths in nature and humanity informed a body of work that continues to delight and inspire.

Een zeer twijfelachtige vooruitblik, maar toch ging het aandeel flink omhoog. ASML stunt vandaag op de beurs. Het was zelfs weer even het meest waardevolle bedrijf van Europa!Deze aflevering kijken we hoe waardevol de kwartaalcijfers, maar vooral de vooruitblik van ASML is. Waarom zijn beleggers zo enthousiast over een (in feite) waarschuwing? Dat proberen we uit te zoeken voor je, maar we hebben meer. Bijvoorbeeld de stunt van LVMH. Er is weer sprake van groei en dat zag niemand aankomen. De beurskoers van niet alleen LVMH schoot omhoog, ook van alle concurrenten. Beleggers denken dat het herstel is ingezet.De polonaise zetten beleggers in ieder geval niet in als het om de handelsoorlog gaat. Trump en Xi Jinping vechten nu om bakolie en sojabonen. Met gevolg dat de beurs flink naar beneden gaat. Toch doet de Amerikaanse minister van Financiën, Scott Bessent, een opvallende uitspraak.

From the very first episode of this podcast back in 2020, we've been focused on practical applications for AI technology, and we're starting to see these come to market with agentic tools. This episode of Utilizing Tech features Brad Shimmin, VP and Practice Lead for Data and Analytics at The Futurum Group discussing the ways AI is gaining autonomy with hosts Frederic Van Haren of HighFens and Stephen Foskett, organizer of AI Field Day. Agentic AI is all about autonomy, leveraging generative AI to perform actions on our behalf. There are many different types of agentic AI components, ranging from tools for data and analytics, connections and processes for integrating data, and end-user agents. Increasingly, model context protocol (MCP) is used to specify the capabilities and data for each of these tools, enabling them to work together as part of an agentic process. Frameworks like agent2agent (A2A) enable these components to work together. And models are becoming true platforms to serve the needs of users. Companies like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Mistral are transforming their models into real agentic platforms, while Salesforce, Microsoft, Oracle, Google, and more are trying to support their business customers with Agentic AI. The Futurum Group is addressing this market with their new Signal reports, including a forthcoming one focused on agentic AI.Guest: Brad Shimmin, VP and Practice Lead, Data and Analytics at The Futurum GroupHosts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stephen Foskett⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, President of the Tech Field Day Business Unit and Organizer of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tech Field Day Event Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Frederic Van Haren⁠⁠, Founder and CTO of HighFens, Inc. ⁠⁠Guy Currier⁠⁠, Chief Analyst at Visible Impact, The Futurum Group.For more episodes of Utilizing Tech, head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠the dedicated website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow the show ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on X/Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Mastodon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

(Último domingo de septiembre: Día Internacional de la Biblia) «Para mí —escribió Pablo Neruda en 1954— los libros fueron como la misma selva en que me perdía, en que continuaba perdiéndome. Eran otras flores deslumbradoras, otros altos follajes sombríos, misterioso silencio, sonidos celestiales, pero también la vida de los hombres más allá de los cerros, más allá de los helechos, más allá de la lluvia. »Por ese tiempo —continúa narrando Neruda— llegó a Temuco una señora alta, con vestidos muy largos, y zapatos de tacón bajo.... Era la directora del liceo. Venía de nuestra ciudad austral, de las nieves de Magallanes.... La vi muy pocas veces, porque yo temía el contacto de los extraños a mi mundo. »... Tenía una sonrisa ancha y blanca en su rostro moreno por la sangre y la intemperie... sonrisa entre pícara y fraternal y... ojos que se fruncían picados por la nieve o la luz de la pampa. »No me extrañó cuando de entre sus ropas sacerdotales sacaba libros que me entregaba y que fui devorando. Ella me hizo leer los primeros grandes nombres de la literatura rusa que tanta influencia tuvieron sobre mí. »Luego se vino al Norte. No la eché de menos porque ya tenía miles de compañeros, las vidas atormentadas de los libros. Ya sabía dónde buscarlos.»1 Ese amor a los libros del que habla el poeta chileno Pablo Neruda, que le inculcó aquella maestra de escuela a temprana edad en Temuco, culminó en 1971 cuando se le concedió el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Pero Neruda no fue el primer poeta chileno en obtener el ansiado premio; fue el segundo. Ya hacía un cuarto de siglo, en 1945, que había obtenido el Premio Nobel su antigua mentora, que fuera por un tiempo directora de aquel liceo en Temuco, Gabriela Mistral. A propósito del amor a los libros, Gabriela misma lo practicó a lo largo y ancho de su ilustre carrera literaria y diplomática. Pero hubo un libro en particular que mereció su más alto aprecio. En el año 1919 la Mistral le regaló un hermoso ejemplar de ese magistral libro, la Santa Biblia, al Liceo No. 6 de Santiago de Chile, donde ejerció como directora. En sus páginas dejó escrita esta confesión de fe, a modo de dedicatoria, respecto al Libro Sagrado: Libro mío, libro en cualquier tiempo y en cualquier hora. Bueno y amigo para mi corazón, fuerte, poderoso compañero. Tú me has enseñado la inmensa belleza y el sencillo candor, la verdad terrible y sencilla en breves cantos. Mis mejores amigos no han sido gentes de mis tiempos; han sido los que tú me diste: David, Rut, Job, Raquel y María. Con los míos éstos son mis gentes, los que rondan en mi corazón y en mis oraciones, los que me ayudan a amar y a bien padecer... Siempre eres fresco, recién conocido... Yo te amo todo, desde el nardo de la parábola hasta el adjetivo crudo de los Números.2 Así como Pablo Neruda aprendió de Gabriela Mistral a buscar la grata compañía de los libros, aprendamos también nosotros de aquella poetisa de América a buscar la grata compañía del Libro por excelencia que ella tanto amaba. En cualquier tiempo y a cualquier hora, podemos acudir a él como fuerte y poderoso compañero.

"le modèle nous fait du feedback directement sur la satisfaction de l'utilisateur" Le D.E.V. de la semaine est Frédéric Barthelet, CTO @ Alpic. Frédéric nous fait découvrir le Model Context Protocol (MCP), une innovation technologique qui ouvre les portes de nos applications et plateformes favorites aux agents IA.Si les applications mobiles et les sites web ont permis aux entreprises de proposer leurs produits et services à leurs utilisateurs, et si les API leur ont permis d'être intégrées chez leurs partenaires, ce sont leurs serveurs MCP qui leur permettront demain d'être découvertes et utilisées par des IA.Frédéric nous partage les enjeux de conception d'un serveur MCP pour maximiser son taux de succès, la métrique phare de la qualité d'un serveur. Réduire le nombre d'outils via le polymorphisme, limiter la portée de ses réponses, utiliser les erreurs comme mécanisme de découvrabilité : autant de stratégies pour développer le meilleur serveur possible.Enfin, il évoque l'avenir du protocole et les potentiels mécanismes de découvrabilité (marketplace et régie pub) qui sont mis en place côté client par des géants comme Anthropic, OpenAI ou Mistral pour amener ses clients sur ce support et canal d'acquisition dernière génération.Chapitrages00:00:55 : Model Context Protocol, kezako ?00:03:53 : Tools, resources et prompts d'un serveur MCP00:05:45 : Améliorer le taux de succès de son serveur00:10:08 : Agentic Experience, ou l'art de désigner des parcours pour agents IA00:13:22 : Limitations et Perspectives00:17:30 : MCP, un nouveau canal d'acquisition pour les business00:23:26 : Contrôle et Autonomie des Agents00:25:39 : Ellicitation, ou comment solliciter l'utilisateur quand l'agent ne suffit plus00:29:10 : Passer à la v2 de son serveur00:53:47 : Perspectives Futures du Protocole MCP01:01:18 : Conclusion Liens évoqués pendant l'émission Alpic pour déployer son serveur MCPTalks de MCP Dev Summit sur YoutubeTalk de Laurie Voss sur toutes les alternatives MCP 🎙️ Soutenez le podcast If This Then Dev ! 🎙️ Chaque contribution aide à maintenir et améliorer nos épisodes.

Slator's Senior Research Analyst Alex Edwards joins Esther and Florian on the pod to discuss ElevenLabs' move from a pure-play language technology platform (LTP) to becoming a language solutions integrator (LSI) by adding a managed service offering.He outlines that the LSI will now offer managed services such as dubbing, transcription, and subtitling, hiring in-house linguists and vendor managers, while charging about USD 22 per minute for dubbing.Florian then turns to YouTube's rollout of multi-language audio tracks, which allows some creators to upload high-quality audio directly to videos and opens major opportunities for AI dubbing providers. The discussion shifts to OpenAI's research on ChatGPT usage, reporting that translation accounted for 4.5% of more than a million sampled conversations, underscoring massive global demand for AI translation.Esther highlights Microsoft's launch of its Live Interpreter API, which promises real-time speech translation with “human interpreter level latency”. Esther also details Mistral's USD 2bn funding to advance European AI capabilities, allowing them to compete with US and Chinese AI giants. Esther closes by reporting on WIPO's new Korean-English post-editing tender.

Welcome back to another episode of Upside at the EUVC Podcast, where Dan Bowyer, Mads Jensen of SuperSeed, Andrew J Scott of 7percent Ventures, and Lomax unpack the forces shaping European venture capital.This week, veteran journalist Mike Butcher (ex-TechCrunch Europe, The Europas, TechFugees) joins the pod. From the creator economy eating media brands, to Europe's fragmented ecosystem and the capital gap that just won't die, we dive into EU-Inc, Draghi's unfulfilled reforms, ASML's surprise bet on Mistral, Europe's defense awakening, Klarna's IPO, and quantum's hot streak.Here's what's covered:00:01 – Mike's ResetTechCrunch Europe closes; Mike reflects on redundancy, summer off, dabbling in social and video.03:00 – Media Evolution & Creator EconomyFrom '90s trade mags → TechCrunch → The Europas & TechFugees. Blogs as early social media; today's creators (MrBeast, Bari Weiss, Cleo Abram) echo that era. Bloomberg pushes reporters front and center as media becomes personality-driven.06:45 – Europe's Ecosystem & Debate CultureEurope isn't Silicon Valley's 101 highway — it's dozens of fragmented hubs. Conferences like Slush, Web Summit, VivaTech anchor the scene, but the missing ingredient is debate. US VCs spar on stage then grab a beer; Europe is still too polite.12:00 – All-In Summit DebriefMads' takeaways from LA: Musk on robotics (the “hand” bottleneck), Demis Hassabis on AGI (5–10 yrs away), Eric Schmidt on US–China AI race, Alex Karp on Europe's regulatory failures. The Valley vibe captured, but it's only one voice.17:00 – EU-Inc & Draghi ReportDraghi's 383 recommendations, just 11% implemented. €16T in pensions sit mostly in bonds; only 0.02–0.03% flows into VC (vs 1–2% in the US). Permitting bottlenecks: 44 months for energy approvals. Panel calls for a Brussels “crack unit,” employee stock option reform, and fixing skilled migration.35:00 – Deal of the Week: ASML × MistralASML leads a €2B round in Mistral at €11B valuation. Strategic and cultural fit (Netherlands ↔ Paris) mattered more than sovereignty. Mads: 14× revenue is a bargain vs US peers. Andrew: proof Europe's VCs are too small — corporates must fill the gap. Lomax: ASML knows it's a one-trick pony with 90% lithography share; diversifying into AI hedges risk.49:00 – Defense & Industrial BaseRussian drones hit Poland, NATO urgency spikes. UK pledges defense spend to 2.5% GDP by 2027, but procurement bottlenecks persist. Poland cuts red tape under fire; UK moves at peacetime pace. Andrew: real deterrence is industrial capacity. Mike: primes must be forced to buy from startups; dual-use innovators like Helsing show the way.59:00 – Klarna IPO & the Klarna MafiaKlarna IPOs at $15B (down from $46B peak). Oversubscribed; Sequoia nets ~$3.5B; Atomico 12M → 150M. A new “Klarna Mafia” of angels and operators will recycle liquidity back into Europe's ecosystem.01:03:00 – Quantum's Hot StreakPsiQuantum ($7B, Bristol roots), Quantinuum ($10B, Cambridge), IQM (Finland unicorn), Oxford Ionics' $1B exit. Europe has parity in talent but lacks growth capital. Lomax: “Quantum is hot, but a winter will come.” Andrew: Europe can win here — if the money shows up.01:05:00 – Wrap-upThe pod ends on optimism: Europe may not own AGI, but in quantum it has a fair fight.

Ce mercredi 10 septembre, François Sorel a reçu Frédéric Simottel, journaliste BFM Business, Frédéric Krebs, directeur de développement chez Palico, ex-Partner Newfund, et Christophe Aulnette, senior advisor chez Seven2 et ancien président de Microsoft Asie du Sud et de Microsoft France. Ils se sont penchés sur ASML qui devient le premier actionnaire de Mistral AI en injectant 1,3 milliard d'euros dans un levé de fonds, ainsi que le défi d'Elon Musk contre les opérateurs télécoms aux USA en rachetant de nouvelles fréquences pour Starlink avec une dépense de 17 milliards de dollars, dans l'émission Tech & Co, la quotidienne, sur BFM Business. Retrouvez l'émission du lundi au jeudi et réécoutez-la en podcast.

durée : 00:03:15 - Géopolitique - par : Pierre  Haski  - Le poids lourd de la technologie européenne, le néerlandais ASML, investit 1,3 milliards d'euros dans la start-up française de l'intelligence artificielle Mistral, qui devient le numéro un de l'IA sur le continent ; et il lui évite de passer sous les fourches caudines d'un investisseur américain.

Oracle (ORCL) reports earnings after the close but Sam Vadas directs investor attention overseas to ASML Holding (ASML) after the company added a 11% stake in French-based Mistral AI. She talks about how it breaks Mistral's primary reliance on Silicon Valley and what it means for the global A.I. trade. She later talks about Lachlan Murdoch taking Rupert's seat as the head of Fox News and Fox Corporation, along with Keybanc's Lululemon (LULU) downgrade.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The agents head to France, ostensibly to investigate civil unrest and its connection to the unnatural. However, their handler found a lead on their primary target, the chemist/necromancer of the Corsican mafia.

Benjamin and Chance prepare to have their jaw dropped in the run up to the September 9 Apple event where we expect to see iPhone 17, Apple Watch Series 11 and maybe AirPods Pro 3. There's an interesting report on Apple's strategic calculus when it comes to acquiring other companies, and Gemini might become the brain of Siri. Also, Apple TV+ ups its monthly price by a hefty 30%.  And in Happy Hour Plus, we reflect on the last fifteen years of Apple event slogans, and whether there's a trend of decline. Subscribe at 9to5mac.com/join.
