Podcasts about moonshots

This week on Sinica, a rare treat: an in-person recording from Beijing with two dear friends who happen to be two of the very best in the business on technology and China — Samm Sacks and Paul Triolo, fresh off the exhibition floor of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. We dig into Xi Jinping's first in-person WAIC appearance and his most extensive statement on AI to date, the launch of the World AI Cooperation Organization, Moonshot's release of Kimi K3, the Trump administration's reported push to shut Chinese open-weight models out of the U.S. market, the coming age of agents, the untranslatable problem of ānquán, and what to expect from the first U.S.-China AI dialogue in September.8:51 – The view from the floor: heat, humidity, robot boxing grandmas, WeChat-gated free water, and the "AI+" vibe — why WAIC 2026 felt less like an AI conference than a sector-by-sector snapshot of China's entire economy being supercharged with AI, with attendance swelling to some 200,000 tickets16:32 – Why Xi showed up: what the leader's first in-person WAIC appearance and his most extensive AI statement to date signal, and why domestic drivers matter as much as geopolitics18:01 – Chapter and verse: which phrases from the speech will be put to work in the system — "secure and orderly development" and the governance of agents, and Xi's strikingly extensive language on AI safety after China was frozen out of the Paris process22:26 – The ānquán problem: one word meaning both "safety" and "security," the three buckets of AI risk, and how China's safety community has moved from bias and deepfakes toward CBRN and loss-of-control concerns — Black Mirror versus Star Trek28:14 – Shanghai's baby: how WAIC's ownership structure differs from the CAC-run World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Chen Jining's very visible host duties, and whether the center of gravity in AI policy is shifting to the Yangtze River Delta30:05 – WAICO: what the new World AI Cooperation Organization with its 29 founding members is actually for, Xi's concrete deliverables for the Global South — 5,000 AI training slots, regional cooperation centers, the MAZU early-warning system — and healthy skepticism about follow-through34:39 – Kimi K3: what's technically significant in Moonshot's big new model, why it's the fourth arguably frontier-class Chinese release in a single month, the two-way traffic in distillation accusations, and what it all says about the state of the frontier gap four years into export controls40:33 – Washington reacts: the reported menu of options for shutting Chinese open-weight models out of the U.S. — entity listings, a draft executive order, supply-chain security authorities — and why none of the tools actually fit the problem49:36 – Strange bedfellows: David Sacks versus the "closed lab duopoly," the FUD strategy, why some 80% of Andreessen Horowitz portfolio companies reportedly run on Chinese open models, and how gating U.S. frontier models while Chinese weights flow freely supercharges the AI sovereignty argument worldwide54:55 – The model is infrastructure, the agent is the product: the ByteDance–ZTE agentic phone, the CAC's new initiative on agent trust and interoperability, and why agents fused into operating systems upend both super-app walled gardens and China's data protection regime1:02:27 – An exegesis of kěkòng: the many meanings of "controllable," the long history of ānquán kěkòng in Chinese tech policy, and the unanswered question of who — CAC, NDRC, or somebody new — actually owns AI safety in either system1:08:54 – The road to September: what to expect from the first U.S.-China AI dialogue, why Mythos tops the Chinese grievance list, the securitization feedback loop that starves trust-and-safety advocates of resources on both sides, and why recursive self-improvement makes this feel like a last, best chancePaying It ForwardPaul nominates Tony Peng, whose Substack RecodeChinaAI offers sharp, well-written analysis of the application side of China's AI industry — part of an impressive new generation of independent China tech writers. Samm gives a shout-out to Professor Zhu Yue of Tongji University Law School, published in Science and doing pioneering work at the intersection of disability law and AI law.RecommendationsSamm: The Land and Its People by David Sedaris — laugh-out-loud funny, especially the "Enough is Enough" chapter; Transcription by Ben Lerner, a perfect small novel about fathers, sons, memory, and technology as enabler or disabler of connection; and Didion and Babitz, on Joan Didion and Eve Babitz and the 1970s California rock scene.Paul: The Party's Interests Come First by Joseph Torigian — dense but beautifully written, and essential for understanding the current Chinese leadership.Kaiser: A fiction-only summer! Stoner by John Williams, a small life told most grandly in some of the most beautiful sentence-level writing anywhere; Gilead by Marilynne Robinson, an epistolary novel dense with distilled wisdom from a dying Iowa minister; and Wang Xiaobo's The Golden Age (黄金时代) in Yan Yan's excellent new translation — bawdy, hilarious, and super Beijing-y despite its Cultural Revolution setting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The hottest name in China's domestic AI industry is Moonshot. The company's AI model -- known as Kimi K3 -- was released last Friday. It shows China is closing the gap on OpenAI and Anthropic more rapidly than anticipated -- even with limited access to the most advanced processors from Nvidia. We speak about the market reaction with David Savage, Bloomberg's MLIV Strategist. And -- Top diplomats from across South East Asia are gathering at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meetings. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will attend along with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. There is a lot of topics in focus, including Myanmar's future, the situation in the Middle East, China and Philippines bilateral relations. Bloomberg TV Host Avril Hong spoke to Bec Strating, Director of La Trobe Centre for Global Security. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Financial markets and AI enthusiasts are increasingly taking notice of what's happening in China.Over the weekend, a Chinese start-up known as Moonshot, released a new AI model called Kimi K3 that rivals the flagship versions from Anthropic and OpenAI, but at a fraction of the price.What does this mean for the race to dominate the AI future?

Alibaba launched Qwen3.8 Max as Moonshot paused Kimi K3 signups amid demand. The Trump administration weighed a slow squeeze on Chinese AI, Hugging Face used China's GLM-5.2 after US guardrails blocked its breach forensics, and Google built a Gemini chip. Alibaba launches a 2.4T parameter Qwen3.8 Max preview that it says rivals frontier AI models and is second only to Fable 5, plans to make it "open-weight soon" (Bloomberg) The Trump administration has reportedly explored sanctions, security warnings, and executive-order requirements since 2025 to build a slow, durable squeeze on Chinese AI models instead of pursuing an outright ban (The Decoder) Ben Thompson argues the market reaction to Kimi and other Chinese models is overblown, since it's compute scarcity — not a real Chinese cost advantage — that's keeping frontier-model prices high (Stratechery) Hugging Face says it used the open-weight GLM-5.2 hosted on its own compute for breach forensics, after US frontier model safety guardrails blocked the requests (The Stack) Sources: Google is developing a specialized server chip, informally dubbed "Frozen v2", that integrates its Gemini AI model blueprint into the silicon, for 2028 (The Information) Subscribe to the ad-free feed.

Moonshot AI plans for IPO. Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model outscored every AI rival except Fable 5 and GPT-5.6, triggering a semiconductor selloff. Now the company is preparing for a Hong Kong IPO at a $30 billion-plus valuation.

Dan Nathan and Guy Adami break down a wild week across markets — memory stocks in freefall, Google's brutal two-day selloff, and why China's AI models are closing the gap without top-tier Nvidia chips. Micron cratered from its all-time high of $1,255 to $800 in a matter of weeks, and the DRAM ETF whipsawed right along with it. Guy and Dan dig into whether this is a routine flush or something bigger. Google sold off 10% after Gemini news broke the hyperscaler rotation narrative, and they debate whether the moat still holds given decelerating margins and ballooning capex. On the China front: DeepSeek raised $7B at a $52B valuation, Alibaba announced $50B in capex, and Moonshot's new model is narrowing the gap with US labs — all without access to Nvidia's most advanced chips. Dan and Guy also revisit the Nvidia-vs-component-suppliers margin debate, unpack Apple's surprising rally into earnings, and call the technical line in the sand on Netflix after its cash flow miss cut the stock in half. Plus: a quick check on crude, refiners hitting new highs, and what's next for energy names like Exxon and ConocoPhillips.

Stocks were slightly lower last week as many AI-connected tech companies, especially highflying semiconductor companies, continued to correct from record price runups in previous months. Aside from normal market correction price action, there is increased concern in the AI-space about China's AI and chip companies catching and potentially surpassing American companies. Specifically, Chinese AI company Moonshot, released a new AI model last week that's said to rival the performance of OpenAI and Anthropic's top performing models.

OpenAI is enhancing its safety features by informing parents when their teenagers are banned from ChatGPT for making violent threats. This update follows past criticisms regarding the company's failure to report dangerous users to the proper authorities. Through linked accounts, guardians can now monitor serious policy violations and receive alerts if the AI detects potential self-harm. Beyond safety notifications, the platform is introducing Study Mode to encourage interactive learning and frequent reminders to promote healthier screen time habits. These changes were developed in partnership with Moonshot, a firm focused on identifying and mitigating online risks. The initiative aims to provide families with the tools necessary to intervene early when a minor's digital behavior becomes concerning.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Oil climbed to the highest level in more than a month and bonds fell as US and Iranian attacks escalated, renewing inflation concerns. Stocks stabilized after a technology-led selloff rattled markets last week. Treasury 10-year futures slipped 7/32, with trading in the cash market shut during Asian hours Monday because of a holiday in Japan. Government bonds in Australia and New Zealand also declined on concern that higher oil prices will stoke inflation. Equities were mixed. Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.2% after Friday’s selloff, as Moonshot AI told investors it plans to go public within six months after its latest model challenged perceptions of US leadership in artificial intelligence. MSCI’s Asia Pacific equity index was little changed, while South Korea’s Kospi index fell 2.8% as traders returned following a holiday on Friday. For a look at the markets, Bloomberg TV Host Avril Hong spoke to Homin Lee, Senior Macro Strategist at Lombard Odier. Brent rose as much as 3.8% to $91.42 a barrel, the highest level since June, with back-and-forth strikes that have expanded beyond military targets. For an outlook of how the oil story is impacting the Asia-Pacific, Bloomberg TV Host Paul ALlen spoke to Illiana Jain, International Ecnomist at Westpac Banking Corporation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Het Chinese AI-model Kimi K3 is nog maar net beschikbaar, maar is nu al zo populair dat ontwikkelaar Moonshot AI geen nieuwe abonnees meer aanneemt. Op X schrijft het bedrijf dat er anders geen rekenkracht meer overblijft voor bestaande abonnees. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De populariteit van Kimi K3 is te danken aan de goede prestaties. Het model staat op de meeste ranglijsten op gelijke voet met of net onder Amerikaanse topmodellen zoals Fable 5 van Anthropic en GPT-5.6 Sol van OpenAI. Ook is Kimi K3 een stuk goedkoper om te gebruiken dan de meeste Amerikaanse topmodellen. Moonshoot AI werkt naar eigen zeggen aan het uitbreiden van de capaciteit en hoopt binnenkort weer nieuwe abonnees aan te kunnen nemen. Ook heeft het bedrijf aangekondigd dat er volgende week een zogeheten open weights-variant van Kimi K3 beschikbaar komt. Dat is een versie van het model die onderzoekers en ontwikkelaars kunnen aanpassen. Filmregisseur Christopher Nolan laat zich kritisch uit over AI Net zoals de Grieken Troje wisten te veroveren door zich in een houten paard te verschuilen, zou AI dat ook kunnen doen met de wereld, volgens filmregisseur Christopher Nolan. 'Ik denk dat AI een Trojaans paard is waarvan iedereen weet dat de Grieken erin zitten', zei Nolan in een interview met film-YouTuber Hugo Décrypte naar aanleiding van het debuut van zijn nieuwe film The Odyssey. Met de mythologische metafoor bedoelt Nolan dat AI op het eerste oog misschien op een geschenk lijkt, maar later voor grote problemen kan zorgen. 'Ik heb nog nooit een technologie zich zo snel zien ontwikkelen, maar tegelijkertijd zo hard afgekeurd zien worden door het publiek', zei Nolan. Op wat voor manier Nolan AI als dreiging ziet, lichtte de regisseur niet toe. Over de maker: Niels Kooloos is dagelijks op BNR Nieuwsradio te horen over het laatste technieuws in de Tech Update. Hij interesseert zich vooral in cybercriminaliteit, privacy, social media en (computer)hardware. Hier en daar kan je Niels ook in All in the Game horen, waar hij graag vertelt over zijn favoriete games.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Semiconductor stocks have plunged more than 20% from their recent highs, officially entering bear market territory after China's Moonshot launched its Kimi K3 model sparking fears of intensifying global competition. Amid rising concerns over stretched valuations, geopolitical risks, and a critical earnings week ahead – including reports from Alphabet, SK Hynix, and Tesla – markets stand at a crossroads. Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis, explains why the long-term uptrend of semiconductors remains intact despite the sell-off and what this means for broader equity markets.(00:00) - Introduction: Lucija Caculovic, Product & Investment Content (00:38) - Markets wrap-up: Jan Bopp, Product & Investment Content (06:38) - Technical Analysis update: Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis (09:13) - Closing remarks: Lucija Caculovic, Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?

Hey yall, Alex here, Huge thanks to Wolfram for running point on the live show this week. Didn't have tons of time to edit this one, so please skip the first 10 minutes, it's a loop of our new “wait for the live show to start” vid, that I build with HyperFrames and can't wait to tell you about, next week! Today it seems that OpenSource is biting back, with Kimi K3 getting released just a short while after Thinking Machines (Thinky) has released Inkling, their near 1T model. I'm attaching the TL;DR and timestamps for the full show (my AI agents, yes even Fable and Sol are not a match yet at editing down hehe) and I'll spare you the long Fable recap (please do let me know in the comments if you were expecting it) 0:00 – Intro, Alex on vacation, TLDR overview11:35 – TLDR: Thinking Machines, open source, OpenAI news12:34 – Banter: impressions of Sol/Codex, over-verification behavior37:22 – TLDR restart & detailed breakdown48:40 – Open Source AI section begins (Bonsai/Prism ML, Kimi K3)58:42 – Inkling (Thinking Machines) deep dive & 3D model visualization1:10:33 – Kimi K3 discussion & demo comparisons1:27:02 – Frontier Labs: AGI governance framework discussion (Demis Hassabis essay)1:47:04 – Grok Build CLI data leak & OpenAI file deletion incident2:02:15 – This Week's Buzz: Wolfbench results on GPT 5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna2:09:52 – Closing remarks & sign-offThe one-minute version: Mira Murati's Thinking Machines released Inkling, a 975B parameter open-weights MoE under Apache 2.0, the top US open-weights model right now.

In this episode, hosts Lee-Sean Huang and Giulia Donatello sit down with Jeff Leitner, the co-founder of UX for Good, architect of Norm Design, and a partner to organizations ranging from the US State Department and NASA to Harvard Medical School. Together, they unpack the core ideas behind his Summer 2026 Stanford Social Innovation Review article, "The Science of Norm Design," exploring why smart, well-funded initiatives fail roughly 70% of the time. Jeff shares his extensive experience studying the "invisible architecture" of social environments. He offers a critical challenge to the design industry, inviting practitioners to look past boilerplate briefs and standard user research to systematically uncover and design for the unwritten rules that dictate human behavior.In This EpisodeHere is the section trimmed down by 25% for a faster, punchier read, with all text formatted in plain text:The definition of norm design. Jeff defines norm design as an essential layer built on top of traditional research to uncover a group's informal, unwritten rules. Because every solution lands within a complex social ecosystem, these hidden dynamics ultimately dictate whether a design succeeds or fails. The 70% organizational failure rate. Stagnant for decades, the standard failure rate for organizational change is famously high. The uncomfortable reality is that most interventions fail because they inadvertently obey the exact same unwritten rules as the problems they are trying to fix. The New Orleans musicians' paradox. Partnering with UX for Good to help local musicians, who average $24,000 a year, the team found that standard financial literacy training routinely failed. A norm-based approach revealed that musicians viewed asking for tips as humiliating. By bypassing the ask and adding a tipping line directly to club receipts, they successfully transferred thousands of dollars to bands. Unwritten rules vs. employee manuals. Social norms are rarely documented. To find a company's true constraints, Jeff suggests asking employees what they would tell a best friend over drinks about "how the place really works," rather than what's printed in the onboarding manual. The structural empathy trap. While designers champion empathy, leaning too deeply into a user's perspective can cause researchers to absorb the same invisible constraints that the target group can't see, effectively blinding the designer to the overarching social norms. Empathy vs. compassion in Rwanda. At the Kigali Genocide Memorial, the team challenged the default industry strategy of showing horror to inspire action. Brain research shows that witnessing suffering floods our pain circuits, causing distress, fatigue, and shutdown. By profiling ordinary heroes, they engaged the brain's compassion networks to cultivate the will to act. How success derailed NASA. Jeff discovered that 100% of interviewed NASA staff anchored their operational norm to JFK's 1962 "Moonshot" speech. However, waiting for a singular political figure to rally the public blinded the agency to the modern reality of private spaceflight, turning a historic triumph into a systemic roadblock.

How do we turn life's hardest moments into something meaningful?In Episode 292, Mike and Mark explore The Book of Alchemy by Suleika Jaouad, a powerful guide to creativity, resilience, and self-discovery through the practice of journaling.Beginning with Suleika's remarkable story of transforming pain into purpose, the hosts unpack why journaling isn't about writing perfectly—it's about thinking clearly, processing honestly, and creating space for growth. Together they explore practical frameworks for reflection, the importance of embracing uncertainty, and why every journal entry has value.The episode concludes with one of Suleika's most inspiring ideas: instead of living each day as if it's your last, try living it as if it's your first—bringing curiosity, playfulness, and openness into everyday life.Whether you're looking to unlock your creativity, build resilience, or simply reconnect with yourself, this conversation offers practical tools you can begin using today.Featured ClipsDoubling Down – Transforming pain into purposeThere Are No Bad Journal Entries – Journaling as a creative practiceLive Every Day As If It's Your First – Curiosity, playfulness, and renewalResources

Send us Fan MailImagine a world where a child with a rare disease in a rural hospital could benefit from the collective intelligence of 500 of the world's best children's hospitals - not years later, but in real time. What if artificial intelligence could connect medical expertise globally while keeping every patient's data private? That is the ambitious vision behind the Pediatric Moonshot ( https://pediatricmoonshot.org/ ).Our guest today has spent more than four decades at the forefront of nearly every major transformation in enterprise computing. Dr. Timothy Chou earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois before beginning his career at Tandem Computers, one of Silicon Valley's pioneering companies in fault-tolerant distributed computing. He later served as President of Oracle On Demand, helping lead Oracle's early cloud computing initiatives years before "the cloud" became part of everyday vocabulary.Alongside his industry career, Dr. Chou has taught at Stanford University since 1982, where he created the university's first course on cloud computing and has inspired generations of entrepreneurs and technology leaders. Today he serves on the Board of Directors of Teradata, chairs the IoT initiative at Alchemist Accelerator, advises emerging enterprise software companies, and was recognized as one of the National Association of Corporate Directors' Directorship 100 honorees.But after what many would consider a complete career, Dr. Chou came out of retirement to pursue perhaps his most ambitious mission yet. Inspired by one of his Stanford students, he founded Pediatric Moonshot, a nonprofit with a bold vision: to reduce healthcare inequity by enabling privacy-preserving artificial intelligence to securely learn from the more than one million medical machines spread across roughly 500 children's hospitals around the world - without requiring patient data to leave those hospitals.Today we're going to explore not only the future of pediatric healthcare and artificial intelligence, but also whether medicine is on the verge of its own Internet moment - where distributed intelligence, rather than centralized data, could fundamentally reshape how care is delivered around the world.#PediatricMoonshot #ArtificialIntelligence #AIHealthcare #HealthcareInnovation #FutureOfMedicine #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #MedicalAI #AIRevolution #EdgeComputing #CloudComputing #FederatedLearning #RareDisease #Pediatrics #ChildrenHealthcare #PrecisionMedicine #HealthcareEquity #Innovation #Technology #SiliconValley #StanfordUniversity #AIAgents #FutureTechnology #MedicineOfTheFuture #ProgressPotentialAndPossibilitiesSupport the show

Over the last eight years of Moonshots, we've explored the work of hundreds of authors, entrepreneurs, scientists, artists, educators, and innovators. We've studied creativity from every angle imaginable. We've looked at the habits of musicians, the methods of filmmakers, the thinking of scientists, the systems of entrepreneurs, and the practices of some of the most creative people who have ever lived.As we prepare to launch a new creativity series on Moonshots, beginning with Steven Kotler's *The Art of the Impossible*, I wanted to pause and reflect on what we've learned so far.What surprised me most wasn't how different these thinkers are. It was how often they arrived at the same conclusions.A legendary music producer, a bestselling novelist, the founder of Pixar, one of history's greatest physicists, an education visionary, and a pair of Stanford design professors all seem to be pointing toward the same set of principles.Creativity is not a gift possessed by a lucky few.It is a practice.It is a way of approaching problems, ideas, opportunities, and life itself.In this episode, I share eight creative practices that have had the biggest impact on my own work as a founder, advisor, podcaster, writer, speaker, software builder, and lifelong learner.The first lesson comes from Rick Rubin and *The Creative Act*. One of the most valuable ideas I've taken from Rick is the importance of showing up early and allowing ideas time to develop. Great work rarely appears on demand. Whenever I'm preparing a keynote, building a product, creating content, or solving a difficult client problem, I start earlier than I need to. I immerse myself in the work and then let it sit. I allow ideas to ferment. Some of my best work has emerged not from pushing harder, but from creating enough space for intuition and imagination to do their job.Elizabeth Gilbert's *Big Magic* offers another powerful reminder. Momentum is more important than perfection. I see perfectionism derail founders every week. They delay launches, delay decisions, delay customer conversations, and delay progress because they want everything to be perfect. The reality is that creative people create. They publish. They ship. They learn. Progress compounds. Perfection delays.Austin Kleon's *Show Your Work* reinforces this principle. Big achievements are usually the result of many small outputs shared consistently over time. Moonshots itself is a perfect example. The show didn't grow because of one viral episode. It grew because Mark and I showed up repeatedly for years. Small contributions, delivered consistently, eventually become meaningful bodies of work.Walt Disney reminds us to dream first and judge later. Too many ideas are destroyed before they have a chance to grow. Whether it's our own self-talk or feedback from others, premature judgement can suffocate creativity. Disney's genius was creating environments where imagination could run free before practicality entered the conversation. Creativity often requires us to suspend disbelief long enough to discover what might be possible.Ed Catmull, in *Creativity, Inc.*, extends this idea even further. He argues that unfinished ideas need safety. Great ideas rarely arrive fully formed. They emerge through discussion, experimentation, and collaboration. Teams that create psychological safety unlock more creativity because people feel comfortable sharing incomplete thoughts. Innovation depends on creating environments where ideas can evolve rather than be evaluated too early.Ken Robinson's work on *The Element* introduces one of my favourite questions. Rather than asking what your passion is, ask yourself what feels good. What activities energise you? What work absorbs your attention?

Brett Hurt returns to Austin Next for the fourth time, more than any guest in the show's history, to argue that the hardest problem in front of us is psychological. Abundance is already on a clear technological path, and the thing most likely to stop us is the fear center we carried off the savannah. He walks through the four technologies he calls the Superfecta: AI, robotics, quantum computing, and brain-computer interfaces, and why they land together rather than in sequence. The stakes are the Great Filter and to make it through to abundance or destroy ourselves. His book lands June 23, and this conversation is the argument it rests on.Agenda0:00 Love is hard, fear is hijacked 10:21 Cooked food and broken business models 18:04 Mocktails, birth rates, and Bhutan 25:52 Moonshots and the James Webb sublime 30:42 Why aliens would be benevolent 36:13 The Superfecta changes everything 41:52 Capitalism, Chad, and abundance 51:40 Old Austin, wizards, and prophets 58:33 The nuclear math nobody wants 1:02:37 How the podcast made him hopeful 1:11:09 Open source wins the next hingeGuest Bio & LinksBrett Hurt: X, LinkedIn, Love Conquers Fear PodcastLove Conquers Fear: Humanity, AI, and the Age of Abundance for AllBrett Hurt is a serial tech entrepreneur, investor, and author.

Nearly half of all Americans believe AI is bad for humanity. Peter Diamandis is not one of them. On his podcast, Moonshots, and in his new book, We Are as Gods, co-written with the inimitable Steven Kotler, he makes the case that artificial intelligence is already ushering in a world of abundance — think radical life extension, 10 billion humanoid robots, and agents that do your job while you're sipping a latte. He knows it may not be all sunshine and hydroponic roses, but he believes our future is incredibly bright. And he's putting his money where his mouth is: XPRIZE, the nonprofit he founded more than 30 years ago to bankroll breakthroughs, just announced it's giving $3.5 million to filmmakers who conjure convincingly optimistic visions of the future. Rufus and Caleb don't have their film treatment ready yet, but they do have plenty of questions for Peter and Steven about flying cars, the future of work, worst-case scenarios, and the new commandments for working with AI.

Liz Peek discusses SpaceX's $1.78 trillion IPO, questioning whether valuations for AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are sustainable. She notes that Starlink's profitability supports Elon Musk's moonshots. Despite inflation concerns, strong domestic private investment is currently driving U.S. economic prosperity while Europe struggles with over-regulation and high energy costs. (1)1954

Did you know Metrop Detroit now has five innovation districts? MICHauto executive director (and new Southwest Detroit pub co‑owner) Glenn Stevens joined us to talk about why Michigan needs a 'moonshot' for innovation. Plus, we get into why he's personally excited about helping open the Regal Eagle, a soccer bar in the shadow of Michigan Central and the new stadium.  They get into what the next governor's roadmap should look like, how autos, AI, and China are reshaping Michigan's economy, and why places like TechTown, Michigan Central, Black Tech Saturdays, and the Ann Arbor–Detroit innovation corridor matter for founders across the state.

If you haven't heard, NASA's Artemis II mission was a big success. That was due in no small part to the expertise of KBR's people. In this episode, you'll hear from two KBR team members and NASA flight controllers, Tess Caswell and Jaclyn Kagey. Listen as they talk about what drew them to careers in space, their hopes for lunar exploration, their vital roles in Artemis II and future Artemis program missions, and much more!

In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied dive headfirst into the wildest S-1 filing Wall Street may have ever seen: SpaceX, Starlink, XAI, Mars colonies, asteroid mining, lunar economies, data centers in space, and Elon Musk casually trying to justify a $28.5 trillion total addressable market like he's ordering lunch. The guys break down whether this is a visionary master plan to make humanity multi-planetary or a beautifully packaged liquidity event with rockets, buzzwords, and enough “AI” mentions to make Nvidia blush. From the insane valuation math to the XAI gamble, the class structure, the retail investor risk, and the very real question of whether investors are buying a business or a sci-fi trilogy, this episode is classic THS: smart finance, sharp skepticism, and just enough chaos to make the moon feel underwritten.

In this episode of Moonshots, Mike and Mark dive into the groundbreaking ideas of Dr. Kelly Starrett, author of Becoming a Supple Leopard. Through insights shared with Dr. Andrew Huberman, they explore why movement quality matters, how poor posture quietly impacts health and performance, and what we can do to reclaim our natural mobility.From understanding common movement dysfunctions to embracing play and exploration as part of physical development, this episode offers practical tools for anyone looking to feel stronger, move better, and stay capable for years to come.At a time when many of us spend more hours sitting than moving, Starrett's message is especially relevant: the body adapts to what we repeatedly do. By making small but intentional changes, we can build resilience, improve performance, and enhance our overall quality of life.Whether you're an athlete, professional, parent, or simply someone who wants to move through life with greater ease, this episode provides actionable insights you can start applying today.Key ThemesMovement as a foundational human skillIdentifying and correcting common movement problemsThe relationship between posture and performanceBuilding long-term physical resilienceMobility as a daily practiceAdapting the body through consistent movement habitsThe importance of play and movement varietyConcepts & BreakthroughsMovement Quality Drives LongevityStarrett emphasizes that movement is not merely exercise; it is a fundamental expression of human capability. Poor movement patterns often accumulate gradually, leading to discomfort, inefficiency, and reduced performance. By improving movement quality, individuals can enhance both everyday function and long-term health.Posture Is a Performance ToolGood posture is often misunderstood as simply standing up straight. Starrett reframes posture as the body's ability to organize itself efficiently under load. Better posture supports breathing, stability, mobility, and strength, allowing us to perform tasks with less strain and greater effectiveness.The Body Adapts to RepetitionOne of the most important ideas in the episode is that our bodies constantly adapt to the positions and movements we practice most often. Long hours spent sitting or maintaining limited movement patterns can create restrictions over time. The solution is not occasional exercise alone but regular exposure to healthy movement throughout the day.Play Expands Human CapacityThe discussion closes with a reminder that movement should not always be structured or performance-focused. Play introduces new shapes, challenges, and experiences that help maintain mobility, coordination, and adaptability. Exploration keeps the body learning and developing across all stages of life.Habits, Tools & Mental ModelsDaily Movement AuditRegularly assess how much time you spend sitting, standing, walking, and moving. Awareness is the first step toward meaningful improvement.Position VarietyAvoid remaining in any single position for extended periods. Introduce different postures and movement patterns throughout the day to encourage adaptability.Posture CheckpointsCreate simple reminders to evaluate posture while working, walking, or exercising. Focus on alignment that supports breathing, stability, and efficient movement.Mobility as MaintenanceTreat mobility work as routine maintenance rather than rehabilitation. Consistent practice helps preserve range of motion and movement quality before problems arise.Play-Based MovementIncorporate activities that encourage exploration, balance, coordination, and enjoyment. New movement experiences challenge the body in ways traditional exercise often does not.Become a Member of the Moonshots Podcast:https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots
