Dr. Paul Hanona and Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla discuss how to safely and smartly integrate AI into the clinical workflow and tap its potential to improve patient-centered care, drug development, and access to clinical trials. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Paul Hanona: Hello, I'm Dr. Paul Hanona, your guest host of the ASCO Daily News Podcast today. I am a medical oncologist as well as a content creator @DoctorDiscover, and I'm delighted to be joined today by Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla, the chief of hematology and oncology at St. Luke's University Health Network. Dr. Bonilla is also the co-founder and chief medical officer at Massive Bio, an AI-driven platform that matches patients with clinical trials and novel therapies. Dr. Loaiza-Bonilla will share his unique perspective on the potential of artificial intelligence to advance precision oncology, especially through clinical trials and research, and other key advancements in AI that are transforming the oncology field. Our full disclosures are available in the transcript of the episode. Dr. Bonilla, it's great to be speaking with you today. Thanks for being here. Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Oh, thank you so much, Dr. Hanona. Paul, it's always great to have a conversation. Looking forward to a great one today. Dr. Paul Hanona: Absolutely. Let's just jump right into it. Let's talk about the way that we see AI being embedded in our clinical workflow as oncologists. What are some practical ways to use AI? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: To me, responsible AI integration in oncology is one of those that's focused on one principle to me, which is clinical purpose is first, instead of the algorithm or whatever technology we're going to be using. If we look at the best models in the world, they're really irrelevant unless we really solve a real day-to-day challenge, either when we're talking to patients in the clinic or in the infusion chair or making decision support. Currently, what I'm doing the most is focusing on solutions that are saving us time to be more productive and spend more time with our patients. So, for example, we're using ambient AI for appropriate documentation in real time with our patients. We're leveraging certain tools to assess for potential admission or readmission of patients who have certain conditions as well. And it's all about combining the listening of physicians like ourselves who are end users, those who create those algorithms, data scientists, and patient advocates, and even regulators, before they even write any single line of code. I felt that on my own, you know, entrepreneurial aspects, but I think it's an ethos that we should all follow. And I think that AI shouldn't be just bolted on later. We always have to look at workflows and try to look, for example, at clinical trial matching, which is something I'm very passionate about. We need to make sure that first, it's easier to access for patients, that oncologists like myself can go into the interface and be able to pull the data in real time when you really need it, and you don't get all this fatigue alerts. To me, that's the responsible way of doing so. Those are like the opportunities, right? So, the challenge is how we can make this happen in a meaningful way – we're just not reacting to like a black box suggestion or something that we have no idea why it came up to be. So, in terms of success – and I can tell you probably two stories of things that we know we're seeing successful – we all work closely with radiation oncologists, right? So, there are now these tools, for example, of automated contouring in radiation oncology, and some of these solutions were brought up in different meetings, including the last ASCO meeting. But overall, we know that transformer-based segmentation tools; transformer is just the specific architecture of the machine learning algorithm that has been able to dramatically reduce the time for colleagues to spend allotting targets for radiation oncology. So, comparing the target versus the normal tissue, which sometimes it takes many hours, now we can optimize things over 60%, sometimes even in minutes. So, this is not just responsible, but it's also an efficiency win, it's a precision win, and we're using it to adapt even mid-course in response to tumor shrinkage. Another success that I think is relevant is, for example, on the clinical trial matching side. We've been working on that and, you know, I don't want to preach to the choir here, but having the ability for us to structure data in real time using these tools, being able to extract information on biomarkers, and then show that multi-agentic AI is superior to what we call zero-shot or just throwing it into ChatGPT or any other algorithm, but using the same tools but just fine-tuned to the point that we can be very efficient and actually reliable to the level of almost like a research coordinator, is not just theory. Now, it can change lives because we can get patients enrolled in clinical trials and be activated in different places wherever the patient may be. I know it's like a long answer on that, but, you know, as we talk about responsible AI, that's important. And in terms of what keeps me up at night on this: data drift and biases, right? So, imaging protocols, all these things change, the lab switch between different vendors, or a patient has issues with new emerging data points. And health systems serve vastly different populations. So, if our models are trained in one context and deployed in another, then the output can be really inaccurate. So, the idea is to become a collaborative approach where we can use federated learning and patient-centricity so we can be much more efficient in developing those models that account for all the populations, and any retraining that is used based on data can be diverse enough that it represents all of us and we can be treated in a very good, appropriate way. So, if a clinician doesn't understand why a recommendation is made, as you probably know, you probably don't trust it, and we shouldn't expect them to. So, I think this is the next wave of the future. We need to make sure that we account for all those things. Dr. Paul Hanona: Absolutely. And even the part about the clinical trials, I want to dive a little bit more into in a few questions. I just kind of wanted to make a quick comment. Like you said, some of the prevalent things that I see are the ambient scribes. It seems like that's really taken off in the last year, and it seems like it's improving at a pretty dramatic speed as well. I wonder how quickly that'll get adopted by the majority of physicians or practitioners in general throughout the country. And you also mentioned things with AI tools regarding helping regulators move things quicker, even the radiation oncologist, helping them in their workflow with contouring and what else they might have to do. And again, the clinical trials thing will be quite interesting to get into. The first question I had subsequent to that is just more so when you have large datasets. And this pertains to two things: the paper that you published recently regarding different ways to use AI in the space of oncology referred to drug development, the way that we look at how we design drugs, specifically anticancer drugs, is pretty cumbersome. The steps that you have to take to design something, to make sure that one chemical will fit into the right chemical or the structure of the molecule, that takes a lot of time to tinker with. What are your thoughts on AI tools to help accelerate drug development? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Yes, that's the Holy Grail and something that I feel we should dedicate as much time and effort as possible because it relies on multimodality. It cannot be solved by just looking at patient histories. It cannot be solved by just looking at the tissue alone. It's combining all these different datasets and being able to understand the microenvironment, the patient condition and prior treatments, and how dynamic changes that we do through interventions and also exposome – the things that happen outside of the patient's own control – can be leveraged to determine like what's the best next step in terms of drugs. So, the ones that we heard the news the most is, for example, the Nobel Prize-winning [for Chemistry awarded to Demis Hassabis and John Jumper for] AlphaFold, an AI system that predicts protein structures right? So, we solved this very interesting concept of protein folding where, in the past, it would take the history of the known universe, basically – what's called the Levinthal's paradox – to be able to just predict on amino acid structure alone or the sequence alone, the way that three-dimensionally the proteins will fold. So, with that problem being solved and the Nobel Prize being won, the next step is, “Okay, now we know how this protein is there and just by sequence, how can we really understand any new drug that can be used as a candidate and leverage all the data that has been done for many years of testing against a specific protein or a specific gene or knockouts and what not?” So, this is the future of oncology and where we're probably seeing a lot of investments on that. The key challenge here is mostly working on the side of not just looking at pathology, but leveraging this digital pathology with whole slide imaging and identifying the microenvironment of that specific tissue. There's a number of efforts currently being done. One isn't just H&E, like hematoxylin and eosin, slides alone, but with whole imaging, now we can use expression profiles, spatial transcriptomics, and gene whole exome sequencing in the same space and use this transformer technology in a multimodality approach that we know already the slide or the pathology, but can we use that to understand, like, if I knock out this gene, how is the microenvironment going to change to see if an immunotherapy may work better, right? If we can make a microenvironment more reactive towards a cytotoxic T cell profile, for example. So, that is the way where we're really seeing the field moving forward, using multimodality for drug discovery. So, the FDA now seems to be very eager to support those initiatives, so that's of course welcome. And now the key thing is the investment to do this in a meaningful way so we can see those candidates that we're seeing from different companies now being leveraged for rare disease, for things that are going to be almost impossible to collect enough data, and make it efficient by using these algorithms that sometimes, just with multiple masking – basically, what they do is they mask all the features and force the algorithm to find solutions based on the specific inputs or prompts we're doing. So, I'm very excited about that, and I think we're going to be seeing that in the future. Dr. Paul Hanona: So, essentially, in a nutshell, we're saying we have the cancer, which is maybe a dandelion in a field of grass, and we want to see the grass that's surrounding the dandelion, which is the pathology slides. The problem is, to the human eye, it's almost impossible to look at every single piece of grass that's surrounding the dandelion. And so, with tools like AI, we can greatly accelerate our study of the microenvironment or the grass that's surrounding the dandelion and better tailor therapy, come up with therapy. Otherwise, like you said, to truly generate a drug, this would take years and years. We just don't have the throughput to get to answers like that unless we have something like AI to help us. Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Correct. Dr. Paul Hanona: And then, clinical trials. Now, this is an interesting conversation because if you ever look up our national guidelines as oncologists, there's always a mention of, if treatment fails, consider clinical trials. Or in the really aggressive cancers, sometimes you might just start out with clinical trials. You don't even give the standard first-line therapy because of how ineffective it is. There are a few issues with clinical trials that people might not be aware of, but the fact that the majority of patients who should be on clinical trials are never given the chance to be on clinical trials, whether that's because of proximity, right, they might live somewhere that's far from the institution, or for whatever reason, they don't qualify for the clinical trial, they don't meet the strict inclusion criteria.  But a reason you mentioned early on is that it's simply impossible for someone to be aware of every single clinical trial that's out there. And then even if you are aware of those clinical trials, to actually find the sites and put in the time could take hours. And so, how is AI going to revolutionize that? Because in my mind, it's not that we're inventing a new tool. Clinical trials have always been available. We just can't access them. So, if we have a tool that helps with access, wouldn't that be huge? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Correct. And that has been one of my passions. And for those who know me and follow me and we've spoke about it in different settings, that's something that I think we can solve. This other paradox, which is the clinical trial enrollment paradox, right? We have tens of thousands of clinical trials available with millions of patients eager to learn about trials, but we don't enroll enough and many trials close to accrual because of lack of enrollment. It is completely paradoxical and it's because of that misalignment because patients don't know where to go for trials and sites don't know what patients they can help because they haven't reached their doors yet. So, the solution has to be patient-centric, right? We have to put the patient at the center of the equation. And that was precisely what we had been discussing during the ASCO meeting. There was an ASCO Education Session where we talked about digital prescreening hubs, where we, in a patient-centric manner, the same way we look for Uber, Instacart, any solution that you may think of that you want something that can be leveraged in real time, we can use these real-world data streams from the patient directly, from hospitals, from pathology labs, from genomics companies, to continuously screen patients who can match to the inclusion/exclusion criteria of unique trials. So, when the patient walks into the clinic, the system already knows if there's a trial and alerts the site proactively. The patient can actually also do decentralization. So, there's a number of decentralized clinical trial solutions that are using what I call the “click and mortar” approach, which is basically the patient is checking digitally and then goes to the site to activate. We can also have the click and mortar in the bidirectional way where the patient is engaged in person and then you give the solution like the ones that are being offered on things that we're doing at Massive Bio and beyond, which is having the patient to access all that information and then they make decisions and enroll when the time is right.  As I mentioned earlier, there is this concept drift where clinical trials open and close, the patient line of therapy changes, new approvals come in and out, and sites may not be available at a given time but may be later. So, having that real-time alerts using tools that are able already to extract data from summarization that we already have in different settings and doing this natural language ingestion, we can not only solve this issue with manual chart review, which is extremely cumbersome and takes forever and takes to a lot of one-time assessments with very high screen failures, to a real-time dynamic approach where the patient, as they get closer to that eligibility criteria, they get engaged. And those tools can be built to activate trials, audit trials, and make them better and accessible to patients. And something that we know is, for example, 91%-plus of Americans live close to either a pharmacy or an imaging center. So, imagine that we can potentially activate certain of those trials in those locations. So, there's a number of pharmacies, special pharmacies, Walgreens, and sometimes CVS trying to do some of those efforts. So, I think the sky's the limit in terms of us working together. And we've been talking with corporate groups, they're all interested in those efforts as well, to getting patients digitally enabled and then activate the same way we activate the NCTN network of the corporate groups, that are almost just-in-time. You can activate a trial the patient is eligible for and we get all these breakthroughs from the NIH and NCI, just activate it in my site within a week or so, as long as we have the understanding of the protocol. So, using clinical trial matching in a digitally enabled way and then activate in that same fashion, but not only for NCTN studies, but all the studies that we have available will be the key of the future through those prescreening hubs. So, I think now we're at this very important time where collaboration is the important part and having this silo-breaking approach with interoperability where we can leverage data from any data source and from any electronic medical records and whatnot is going to be essential for us to move forward because now we have the tools to do so with our phones, with our interests, and with the multiple clinical trials that are coming into the pipelines. Dr. Paul Hanona: I just want to point out that the way you described the process involves several variables that practitioners often don't think about. We don't realize the 15 steps that are happening in the background. But just as a clarifier, how much time is it taking now to get one patient enrolled on a clinical trial? Is it on the order of maybe 5 to 10 hours for one patient by the time the manual chart review happens, by the time the matching happens, the calls go out, the sign-up, all this? And how much time do you think a tool that could match those trials quicker and get you enrolled quicker could save? Would it be maybe an hour instead of 15 hours? What's your thought process on that? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Yeah, exactly. So one is the matching, the other one is the enrollment, which, as you mentioned, is very important. So, it can take, from, as you said, probably between 4 days to sometimes 30 days. Sometimes that's how long it takes for all the things to be parsed out in terms of logistics and things that could be done now agentically. So, we can use agents to solve those different steps that may take multiple individuals. We can just do it as a supply chain approach where all those different steps can be done by a single agent in a simultaneous fashion and then we can get things much faster. With an AI-based solution using these frontier models and multi-agentic AI – and we presented some of this data in ASCO as well – you can do 5,000 patients in an hour, right? So, just enrolling is going to be between an hour and maximum enrollment, it could be 7 days for those 5,000 patients if it was done at scale in a multi-level approach where we have all the trials available. Dr. Paul Hanona: No, definitely a very exciting aspect of our future as oncologists. It's one thing to have really neat, novel mechanisms of treatment, but what good is it if we can't actually get it to people who need it? I'm very much looking for the future of that.  One of the last questions I want to ask you is another prevalent way that people use AI is just simply looking up questions, right? So, traditionally, the workflow for oncologists is maybe going on national guidelines and looking up the stage of the cancer and seeing what treatments are available and then referencing the papers and looking at who was included, who wasn't included, the side effects to be aware of, and sort of coming up with a decision as to how to treat a cancer patient. But now, just in the last few years, we've had several tools become available that make getting questions easier, make getting answers easier, whether that's something like OpenAI's tools or Perplexity or Doximity or OpenEvidence or even ASCO has a Guidelines Assistant as well that is drawing from their own guidelines as to how to treat different cancers. Do you see these replacing traditional sources? Do you see them saving us a lot more time so that we can be more productive in clinic? What do you think is the role that they're going to play with patient care? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Such a relevant question, particularly at this time, because these AI-enabled query tools, they're coming left and right and becoming increasingly common in our daily workflows and things that we're doing. So, traditionally, when we go and we look for national guidelines, we try to understand the context ourselves and then we make treatment decisions accordingly. But that is a lot of a process that now AI is helping us to solve. So, at face value, it seems like an efficiency win, but in many cases, I personally evaluate platforms as the chief of hem/onc at St. Luke's and also having led the digital engagement things through Massive Bio and trying to put things together, I can tell you this: not all tools are created equal. In cancer care, each data point can mean the difference between cure and progression, so we cannot really take a lot of shortcuts in this case or have unverified output. So, the tools are helpful, but it has to be grounded in truth, in trusted data sources, and they need to be continuously updated with, like, ASCO and NCCN and others. So, the reason why the ASCO Guidelines Assistant, for instance, works is because it builds on all these recommendations, is assessed by end users like ourselves. So, that kind of verification is critical, right? We're entering a phase where even the source material may be AI-generated. So, the role of human expert validation is really actually more important, not less important. You know, generalist LLMs, even when fine-tuned, they may not be enough. You can pull a few API calls from PubMed, etc., but what we need now is specialized, context-aware, agentic tools that can interpret multimodal and real-time clinical inputs. So, something that we are continuing to check on and very relevant to have entities and bodies like ASCO looking into this so they can help us to be really efficient and really help our patients. Dr. Paul Hanona: Dr. Bonilla, what do you want to leave the listener with in terms of the future direction of AI, things that we should be cautious about, and things that we should be optimistic about? Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla: Looking 5 years ahead, I think there's enormous promise. As you know, I'm an AI enthusiast, but always, there's a few priorities that I think – 3 of them, I think – we need to tackle head-on. First is algorithmic equity. So, most AI tools today are trained on data from academic medical centers but not necessarily from community practices or underrepresented populations, particularly when you're looking at radiology, pathology, and what not. So, those blind spots, they need to be filled, and we can eliminate a lot of disparities in cancer care. So, those frameworks to incentivize while keeping the data sharing using federated models and things that we can optimize is key. The second one is the governance on the lifecycle. So, you know, AI is not really static. So, unlike a drug that is approved and it just, you know, works always, AI changes. So, we need to make sure that we have tools that are able to retrain and recall when things degrade or models drift. So, we need to use up-to-date AI for clinical practice, so we are going to be in constant revalidation and make it really easy to do. And lastly, the human-AI interface. You know, clinicians don't need more noise or we don't need more black boxes. We need decision support that is clear, that we can interpret, and that is actionable. “Why are you using this? Why did we choose this drug? Why this dose? Why now?” So, all these things are going to help us and that allows us to trace evidence with a single click. So, I always call it back to the Moravec's paradox where we say, you know, evolution gave us so much energy to discern in the sensory-neural and dexterity. That's what we're going to be taking care of patients. We can use AI to really be a force to help us to be better clinicians and not to really replace us. So, if we get this right and we decide for transparency with trust, inclusion, etc., it will never replace any of our work, which is so important, as much as we want, we can actually take care of patients and be personalized, timely, and equitable. So, all those things are what get me excited every single day about these conversations on AI. Dr. Paul Hanona: All great thoughts, Dr. Bonilla. I'm very excited to see how this field evolves. I'm excited to see how oncologists really come to this field. I think with technology, there's always a bit of a lag in adopting it, but I think if we jump on board and grow with it, we can do amazing things for the field of oncology in general. Thank you for the advancements that you've made in your own career in the field of AI and oncology and just ultimately with the hopeful outcomes of improving patient care, especially cancer patients.

Hned poté, co Rada ČT v úterý odvolala z funkce Jana Součka, se začala v médiích objevovat první jména jeho možných nástupců. Nového šéfa ČT chce rada zvolit 18. června. Zájem o uvolněný post na Kavčích horách už potvrdila například předsedkyně dozorčí rady vydavatelství Czech News Center Libuše Šmuclerová. Kandidaturu vážně zvažuje také ředitel zpravodajství a publicistiky ČT Petr Mrzena. Hovoří se i o programovém řediteli Milanu Fridrichovi nebo šéfovi obchodu Hynku Chudárkovi, který dříve vedl televizi Óčko. Kandidaturu zvažuje i známá tvář veřejnoprávní televize Jakub Železný. Ten moderoval hlavní zpravodajskou relaci Události od dubna 2012 do konce roku 2023, kdy se stáhl ze zdravotních důvodů. V současnosti působí v ČT jako mentor pro nové redaktory zpravodajství a moderuje pořad Historie.cs.Dosavadní generální ředitel Jan Souček skončil ve vedení televize zhruba po roce a půl. Jeho odvolání radní zdůvodnili tím, že několikrát porušil zákon o ČT. Například podle nich nevhodně komunikoval s veřejností, rušil publicistické pořady, vyhrožoval zrušením několika kanálů ČT v případě nezvýšení televizního poplatku nebo radu neinformoval o vyvíjeném nátlaku na něj.Bývalý generální ředitel taková tvrzení odmítl s tím, že se nezakládají na pravdě. ČT je podle něj v dobré kondici. Díky nedávnému zvýšení televizních poplatků má zajištěné financování na desítky let dopředu a chystá řadu nových projektů. Podle čeho by Rada ČT měla vybírat nového ředitele? A v jakém stavu televizi zanechá Jan Souček?--Podcast Ptám se já.

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,With the rise of American populist nationalism has come the rise of nativism: a belief in the concept of “heritage Americans” and a deep distrust of immigration. Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I talk with Alex Nowrasteh about the ideology beneath this severe skepticism, as well as what Americans lose economically if we shut our doors to both low- and high-skilled immigrants.Nowrasteh is the vice president for economic and social policy studies at the Cato Institute. He is the author of his own Substack with David Bier, as well as the co-author of Wretched Refuse? The Political Economy of Immigration and Institutions.Read more of Nowrasteh's work on immigration, nationalism, and other research.In This Episode* Illegal immigration (1:16)* Rise of xenophobia (3:48)* Psychology of immigration skeptics (9:20)* The future American workforce (14:04)* Population decline and assimilation (17:35)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. Illegal immigration (1:16)The system that I would favor is one that allows a substantially larger number of people at every skill level to come into this country legally, to work, to live, and to become Americans . . . because this country demands their labor and there's no way for them to come legally.Pethokoukis: Will you, in a very short period of time, give me a sense of the situation at the southern border of the United States of America in terms of immigration, how that has evolved from Trump 1, to Biden, to now? Is it possible to give me a concise summary of that?Nowrasteh: From Obama through Trump 1, the border apprehension numbers were pretty reasonable, you were talking about somewhere between 400,000 and 800,000 per year. Then came Covid, crashed those numbers down to basically nothing by April of 2020.After that, the numbers progressively rose. They were at the highest point in December of 2020 than they had been for any other December going back over 25 years. Then Biden takes office, the numbers shoot through the roof. We're talking about 170,000 to 250,000, sometimes 300,000 a month until January or so of 2024; those numbers start coming down precipitously. December of 2024, they're at 40,000 or so, 45,000. January 2025, Trump comes in, they go down again. First full month of Trump's administration in February, they're about 8,000, the lowest numbers without a pandemic in a very long time.What's the right number?That's a hard question to answer? In an ideal world where costs and benefits didn't matter, I think the ideal number is zero. But the question is how do you get to that ideal number, right? Is it by having an insane amount of enforcement, of existing laws where you basically end up brutalizing people to an incredible extent? Or is it practically zero because we let people come in lawfully to work in this country. The system that I would favor is one that allows a substantially larger number of people at every skill level to come into this country legally, to work, to live, and to become Americans, and that would bring that number down to about what it is now or even lower than what it is now every month, because the reason people come illegally is because this country demands their labor and there's no way for them to come legally.Rise of xenophobia (3:48). . . I just don't think the economic argument is what moves people on this topic.As I've understood it, and maybe understand it wrong, is this issue has developed that — at first it seemed like the concern, and it still is the concern, was with illegal undocumented immigrants. And then it seems to me the argument became, “Well, we don't want those, and then we also really don't want low-skill immigrants either.” And now it seems, and maybe you have a different perspective, that it's, “Well, we don't really want those high-skill immigrants either.”You gave me the current state of illegal immigration at the southern border. What is the current state of the argument among people who want less, perhaps even no immigration in this country?State of the argument is actually what you described. When I started working on this topic about 15 years ago, I never thought I would've heard people come out against the H-1B visa, or against high-skilled immigrants, or against foreign entrepreneurs. But you saw this over Christmas actually, December of 2024. You saw this basically online “H-1 B-gate” where Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk were saying H-1Bs are great. I think Musk had tweeted, “over my dead body we're going to cut the H-1B,” right? And you see this groundswell of conservatives and Republicans — not all of them, by any means — come out and say, “We don't even want these guys. We don't want these skilled immigrants,” using a whole range of arguments. None of them economic, by the way. Almost none of them economics; all culture, all voting habits, all stereotypes, a lot of them pretty nasty in my opinion.So there is this sense where some people just don't want immigrants. The first time I think I encountered this in writing from a person who was prominent was Anne Coulter, Jeff Sessions when he was senator, and these types of people around 2015, in a big way, and it seems to have become much more prominent than I ever thought it would be.Is it that they don't understand the economic argument or they just don't care about that argument?They don't care about it. I have come to the realization — this makes me sad because I'm an economist by training — but I just don't think the economic argument is what moves people on this topic. I don't think it's what they care about. I don't think it animates . . . It animates me as a pro-immigration person, I think it animate you, right?It does, yeah, it sure does.It does not animate the people who are opposed to it. I think it is a cultural argument, it is a crime element, it is a threat element, it is a, “This makes us less American somehow” weird, fuzzy-feeling argument.Would it matter if the immigrants were all coming from Germany, France, and Norway?Maybe for a handful of them, but generally no, I don't think so. I think the idea that America is special, is different, is some kind of unique nation that ethnically, or in other ways cannot be pierced or contaminated by foreigners — I think it's just like an “Ew, foreigners,” type of sentiment that people have. A base xenophobia that a lot of people have combined with a very reasonable fear and dislike of chaos. When people see chaos on the border, they hate it.I hate chaos on the border. My answer is to get rid of the chaos by letting people come in legally, because you legalize a market, you can actually regulate it. You can't regulate an illegal market. But I think other people see chaos, they have this sort of purity conception of America that's just fanciful, in my opinion, and they just don't want foreigners, and the chaos prompts them, makes it even more powerful.To what extent is it fear that all these immigrants will eventually vote for things you don't want? Or in this case, they're all going to become Democrats, so Republicans don't want them.That's definitely part of it. I think that's more of an elite Republican fear, or an elite sort of nativist or conservative fear than it is amongst the people online who are yelling at me all the time or yelling at Elon Musk. I think that resonates a lot more in this city and in online conservative publications, I think that resonates much more. I don't think it's borne out by the facts, and people who say this will also loudly trumpet how Hispanics now basically split their vote in the 2024 election. David Shore, who is the progressive analyst of electoral politics, said he thinks that Trump actually won the naturalized immigrant vote, which is probably the first time a Republican has won the naturalized immigrant vote since the 19th century.The immediate question is, does that kind of thing, will that resonate into a changing opinion among folks on the right if they feel like they feel like they can win these voters?I don't think so because I think it's about deeper issues than that. I think it's a real feelings-, values-based issue.Psychology of immigration skeptics (9:20)When people feel like they don't have control of something in their country or their government doesn't have control of something, they become anti- whatever is the source of that chaos, even the legal versions of it.Has this been there for a long time? Was it exacerbated for some reason? Was it exacerbated by the financial crisis and the slow economy afterward? The only time I remember hearing about people using the idea of “heritage Americans” were elite people whose great great grandparents came over on the Mayflower and they thought they were better than everybody else, they were elites, they were these kind of Boston Brahmans. So I was aware of the concept from that, but I've never heard people — and I hear it now — about people who were not part of the original Mayflower wave, or Pilgrims, think of themselves as “heritage Americans” because their parents came over in the 1850s or the 1880s, but now their “heritage.” That idea to me seems new.I hadn't heard of it until just a few years ago, frankly, at all. I racked my brain about this because I used to have a lot of affinity for the Republican Party, just to be frank. And I'm from California, and I'm in my '40s, so I remember Prop 187 in 1994 when the state had a big campaign about illegal immigrants' enforcement and welfare, and it really changed the state's voting patterns to be much more democratic, eventually.Then I saw the Republican Party under George W. Bush, and John McCain, and all these other guys who were pro-Republican, but always in California the Republicans were very skeptical of immigration across the board, but I didn't really see that spread. Then I saw it go to Arizona in 2010, 2009, 2008, around there. I saw it go to South Carolina, Mississippi, some of these places, and then all of a sudden with Trump, it went everywhere.So I racked my brain thinking, did I miss something? Was there always something there and I was just too myopic to view it, or I wasn't in those circles, or I wanted to convince myself that it wasn't there? And I really think that it was always there to some small extent, but Trump is the most brilliant political entrepreneur of our lifetime and probably of our country's history, and that he took over this party from the outside and he convinced people to be nativists. Because what he was saying, the words — not that different from Scott Walker saying about immigration. It was not that different from what Mike Huckabee was saying about immigration. It wasn't that different from Santorum. But he said it or sold it in a way that just worked, I guess. That maybe absolves me of some responsibility or maybe allows me to say that I didn't miss anything, but I do think that that largely explains it.And how does it explain that, and you may not have an answer. I can sort of understand the visceral concern about chaos at the border or people coming here illegally. But then to take it to the point that we don't even want AI engineers to come to this country from India, or, “I'm really angry that someone from a foreign country is taking my kid's spot at Harvard.” That, to me, seems almost inexplicable.It's not the fact of the chaos, but it's the perception of the chaos, because when Trump came in in 2015, the border crossing numbers were really low. They were in the 300,000s, low 400,000s, but he talked about it like it was millions, and he created this perception of just insane, outrageous chaos.There's a research and political psychology field about the locus of control. When people feel like they don't have control of something in their country or their government doesn't have control of something, they become anti- whatever is the source of that chaos, even the legal versions of it. In some way, it's an understandable human reaction, but in some ways it is so destructive. But, like you said, it spreads to AI engineers from China because it's like all immigration, and it's so bad, and it's so destructive, and that is the best explanation that I've seen out there about that.The future American workforce (14:04)What we notice in the economics of immigration, when we do these types of studies and we take a look at the wage impacts, we've got basically no wage effect on those of native-born Americans.I write a lot about, hopefully, this technological wave that we're going to be experiencing, and then I also write a little about immigration. The question I get is, if we're going to be worried about the jobs of the future being taken over by software or by robots, if we really think that's going to happen, shouldn't we really be thinking very hard about the kinds of people we let enter into this country, even legally, and their ability to function in that kind of economy?I think we need to think about what is the best mechanism to select people to come here that the economy needs. What you described . . . assumes an amount of knowledge, and foresight, and, frankly, the incentive to make a wise decision in the hands of bureaucrats and politicians that they just do not have and that they will never have. and what matters most and who can pick the best in the market,You can say STEM degrees only. I only want people who have STEM degrees from colleges that, on some global ranking, are in the top 500 universities. You could say that. That would be one way of selecting.They could try to centrally plan it like that. . .You're saying “centrally planned” because you know that's going to get a reaction out of me, but go ahead.I do. The thing is, there's all different types of ways to have an immigration system and there's going to be a little bit of planning any immigration system. But I think the one that will work best is the one that allows the market to have the widest possible choice. We don't know how automation is going to turn out.There's this thing called Moravec's paradox in a lot of AI writing, which is the idea that you'll probably be able to automate a lot of high-skill jobs more easily than you will be able to automate, say, somebody who's a maid, or a nanny, or a nurse, or a plumber, just because the real world is harder than . . . You and I type, and talk, and do math. That's probably easier to do. So maybe the optimal thing to do would be to increase immigration for low-skilled people because all the jobs in the future are going to be low-skilled anyway, because we're going to be able to automate all the high-skilled jobs.Though you could say then that that would take away the jobs from the natives.You could say that, of course. What we notice in the economics of immigration, when we do these types of studies and we take a look at the wage impacts, we've got basically no wage effect on those of native-born Americans. If we were to have a situation where let's say massive amounts of jobs disappear in entire sectors of the economy, vanished, automated . . . well, that just means that we're going to have more opportunities and specialization, division of labor, where there's going to be a lot more lower-skilled and mid-skill jobs, just because there's such a much larger and more productive side of the economy.There's going to be so much more profits in these other ones that we're going to have a bigger economy in the same way that when agriculture basically shrank as a massive section of the workforce, those people got other jobs that were more productive, and it was great. I think we could maybe see that again, and I hope we do. I don't want to have to work anymore.Population decline and assimilation (17:35). . . if the whole world is going to have population decline in 20, 30, 50 years, we're going to have to deal with that at some point, but I'd rather deal with that problem with a population of 600 million Americans than a population of 350 million Americans.The scenario — and this was highlighted to me by one of our scholars who looks a lot about demographics and population growth — his theory is that all the population-decline estimates, shrinkage, and slowing down estimates from the United Nations are way too optimistic, that population would begin to level off much faster. Whatever the UN's low or worst-case scenario is, if you want to put a qualifier on it like that, it's probably like that. And a lot of policymakers are underestimating the decline in fertility rates, and eventually everyone's going to figure that out. And there'll be a mad global scandal for population — for people.There's going to be tons of labor shortages and you're going to want people, and there's going to be this scramble, and not every country is going to be as good at it. If people want to immigrate, they're probably more likely, everything else equal, they're going to want to go to the United States as opposed to — not to smear another country — I don't know, Argentina or something. We have this great ability to accept people to come here and for them to succeed and build companies. Maybe that company is a bodega, maybe that company is a technology company. So we're at this moment where we have this great natural advantage, but it seems like we're utterly rejecting it.We are not just rejecting it, we are turning it from a positive into a big negative. You have these students who are being apprehended and having their visas canceled because of a fishing license violation six years ago. People who are skilled science students studying the United States who could go on to be founders of big companies or just high-skilled workers, and we're saying, “Nope, can't do it, sorry.” We're kicking people out for reasons of speech — speech that I often don't like, by the way, but it doesn't matter, because I believe it on principle. It's important.We already see it showing up in tourism numbers plummeting to the United States, and I think we're going to see it in student visa numbers shortly. And student visas are the first step on that long chain of being able to be a high-skilled immigrant one day. So we are really doing long-term damage.On the population stuff, I completely agree, and if the whole world is going to have population decline in 20, 30, 50 years, we're going to have to deal with that at some point, but I'd rather deal with that problem with a population of 600 million Americans than a population of 350 million Americans.What is your general take on the notion of assimilation? Is that a problem? Should we doing more to make sure people are successful here? How do you think about that?I do think assimilation is important. I don't think it's a problem. When I talk about assimilation, I use it in the way that Jacob Vigdor — Jake is a professor, University of Washington economist, and he says, assimilation is when an immigrant or their kids are indistinguishable from long-settled Americans on the measurements of family size, civic participation, income, education, language. Basically it takes three generations. That is, the first generation are the immigrants, second are their kids, third are their grandkids, on average.Some, much faster. Like my Indian neighbors are more than assimilated in the first generation. They do better than native born Americans on most of those measures. Some lower-skilled Hispanic or some East African immigrants, takes three, three and a half, four sometimes, to do that well, but it's going very well.We do not have the cultural issues that some countries in Europe have. To some extent, it's overblown in Europe, those problems, but they do exist and they exist to a greater extent than they do here. Part of that is because we have birthright citizenship. People who are born in this country are citizens, they don't feel like they're an illegal underclass because they're not. They feel totally accepted because they are legally, and we have an ethos in this country, because we don't have an ethnic identification of being American like they do in places like Germany or in Norway. I have family members in Norway who are half Iranian and they're not really considered to be Norwegian, culturally. Here it's the opposite. If I were to go say I'm not an American, people would be offended. There, if you say, “Oh, I'm Norwegian,” they'll correct you and be like, “No, you're not Norwegian, you're something else.”We have this great secret sauce born of our culture, born of our lack of an ethnic Americanness. It doesn't matter what ethnicity or race you are, or religion, anybody can be American. And we have done it so well and we just don't have these issues, and I don't think, as a result, we should do more because I'm worried about the government breaking it.Based on what you just said, at a gut level, how do you feel when someone uses the phrase “heritage Americans,” and they hate the idea of America as an idea, and to be an American you need to have been here for a long time. That whole way of looking at it — do you get it, or do you at some level [think], I am not a psychologist, I do not understand it?A way to make sense of it [is] by swapping out the word “American” in their sentence and we place it with the word “Frenchman,” or “German,” or “Russian,” or “Japanese,” or some other country that's a nation state where the identity is bound up with ethnicity. That's the way that I make sense of it, and I think this is a concept that just does not work in the United States; it cannot work. Maybe it's the most nationalistic I am, but I think that that's just a fundamentally foreign idea that could never work in the United States. It sounds more at home in Europe and other places. That's what strikes meAs I finish up, I know you have all kinds of ideas to improve the American immigration system, which we will try to link to, but instead of me asking you to give me your five-point plan for perfection, I'm going to ask you: How does this turn around? What is the scenario in which we become more accepting again of immigrants, perhaps the way we were 30 years ago?That really is a $64,000 question. The idea that I have floated — which probably won't work, but at least gets people to pause — is the entitlement programs are going insolvent, and I have pitched to my grandmother-in-law, who is a very nice woman, who is a Republican who is skeptical of immigration, but who is worried about Social Security going bankrupt, I say, “Well, there is one way to increase the solvency of this program for 30 or 40 years.” And she said, “What's that?” and I say, “Let in 100 million immigrants between the age of the 20 and 30.” And it gives her pause. I think if that idea can give her pause, then maybe it has a shot. When this country seriously starts to grapple with the insolvency of entitlement programs, that's looming.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedMicro ReadsPlease check out the website or Substack app for the latest Up Wing economic, business, and tech news contained in this new edition of the newsletter.

Po úspěšných čtyřech knihách, ve kterých si povídal s neurochirurgem Vladimírem Benešem, pilotem Davidem Heclem, vyšetřovatelem Josefem Marešem a lékařem letecké záchranky Markem Dvořákem, vydal pátou, ve které vede rozhovor s Adamem Dolníkem, mezinárodním vyjednavačem únosů a odborníkem na terorismus.

Novinář a spisovatel Martin Moravec má na kontě řadu úspěšných titulů. Za knižní rozhovor s lékařem urgentní medicíny Markem Dvořákem získal dokonce cenu Magnesia Litera. Dlouho ale bojoval s nízkým sebevědomím.

Pro koho je tu organizace Ledovec? U příležitosti Světového dne duševního zdraví a konání Dnů duševního zdraví v Plzni přišel do studia ředitel Ledovce Petr Moravec.

Moderátor Václav Moravec se pustil do České televize. Vadí mu, jak vedení zpravodajství zrušilo pořad 168 hodin. Kritizuje také stažení moderátora Jakuba Železného z obrazovky. Ten je mimo vysílání téměř rok.„Pokud by vaše otázka natvrdo zněla: Překvapilo vás, jakým způsobem se management zpravodajství postavil ke zrušení 168 nebo k tomu, že nechává Jakuba Železného, podle mého skvělého moderátora hlavních večerních zpráv, někde ‚zamraženého‘ ve sklepě Ótéenky (budova zpravodajství, které se historicky říká OTN, pozn. red.)? Tak bych řekl, že to jsem nečekal,“ říká Václav Moravec, který byl hostem nejnovějšího dílu podcastu Mediální cirkus. A dodává: „Nečekal jsem, že pořad, který měl 550 000 diváků, který se pohyboval na tenké hranici mezi publicistikou a zábavou, bude zrušen, aniž by byl vyroben jiný pořad, který ukáže lepší veřejnou službu, než kterou předváděla Nora Fridrichová. To jsem opravdu nečekal.“Moravec, který je v České televizi více než dvacet let, zároveň odmítá, že by dostatečnou náhradou pořadu byla Výborná show, kterou ČT nově přesunula z kanálu ČT2 právě do časového okna po zrušených 168 hodinách.„Lucka Výborná dělá skvělou show. Něco, co je asi ženská obdoba Karla Šípa, která na Dvojce výborně funguje. Ale je to jiný formát. Myslím, že bychom se měli ptát, kdy vznikne tedy ten týdeník? Vedení divize zpravodajství a publicistiky zrušilo 168 hodin, protože v něm byly základní školácké chyby, jak jsme se dozvěděli. Tak se těšíme na to, jaký bude nový pořad,“ pokračuje kritickým tónem Václav Moravec.První spekulace o konci 168 hodin se objevily v Blesku na jaře. Krátce poté tam vyšla i zpráva o tom, že by se měly měnit Otázky Václava Moravce. Bulvární deník přišel s tím, že by se moderátor měl v pořadu střídat se ženou, což tehdy v odpovědi jasně nevyloučil ani generální ředitel ČT Jan Souček. Ten později změny Otázek Václava Moravce vyloučil, zároveň ale dodal, že nikdo od něj nemá bianco šek.Václav Moravec Otázky moderuje od ledna 2004. Pořad je pravidelně terčem útoku politiků. Ostatně nechodil do něj prezident Miloš Zeman, nechodí tam šéf SPD Tomio Okamura a v posledních letech ani šéf hnutí ANO Andrej Babiš. Otázky veřejně kritizuje hlavně radní ČT Luboš Xaver Veselý, který hned po svém zvolení v roce 2020 přišel s tím, že Moravec by se měl v pořadu s někým střídat. To ale Moravec rázně odmítá.„Zamraženi“ s Železným„Střídání je první krok k likvidaci toho pořadu. Když by to po mě někdo chtěl, tak řeknu: Já se střídat nebudu a jsem zvědav, co se mnou uděláte, ‚zamrazíte‘ mě? Budeme ‚zamraženi‘ s Jakubem Železným,“ říká v Mediálním cirkusu s tím, že střídání moderátorů by politikům umožnilo vybírat si ty, ke kterým jdou raději na rozhovor. „Co já jsem proboha udělal, abych zrovna já se střídal, proč se neřeší střídání Michaly Jílkové, proč se neřeší střídání Karla Šípa? Proč se neřeší střídání jiných?“ ptá se Moravec a několikrát v mnoha obměnách v rozhovoru zdůrazňuje: „Já jsem přišel před dvaceti lety a mým cílem bylo vybudovat v České televizi nejcitovanější a nejsledovanější diskusi. Díky Bohu se to daří i po těch 20 letech.“Ve zpravodajství České televize je napjatá atmosféra minimálně od léta, kdy vedení zpravodajství velmi ostře při svém odchodu kritizovala Nora Fridrichová. Ta i v podcastu Mediální cirkus mluvila o tom, že z ČT vytéká hnus a kritizovala to, že šéfredaktor zpravodajství Michal Kubal se nestíhá dostatečně věnovat řízení, protože sám příliš často moderuje. A do stejné praxe se opřel i Václav Moravec, který se žurnalistice věnuje také jako pedagog na vysoké škole. Podle něj totiž mediální manažeři, kteří se sami aktivně věnují žurnalistice, nemají dost prostoru chránit svoji redakci před vnějšími, především politickými tlaky.„Já jsem nastupoval do ČT za šéfredaktora Michala Petrova, který se věnoval šéfredaktorské práci. To kombinování je podle mě neblahé. Když se podíváte na mnohá média, tak šéfredaktor odsune řadové redaktory, když se dělá rozhovor s prezidentem, s premiérem, protože šéfredaktor neví, jestli chce být manažerem, anebo jestli chce pokračovat v aktivní žurnalistice. Já si nedovedu představit v BBC, že by si šéfredaktor odskakoval moderovat. Podíváte-li se v současnosti na ČT, tak ten manažerismus kombinovaný s novinářskými ambicemi je věc, která žurnalistice ubližuje,“ vysvětluje moderátor.Hybridní žurnalistika ničí i veřejnoprávní médiaVáclav Moravec se věnuje jako pedagog novinářské etice, o které ostatně napsal také knihu. A  v Mediálním cirkusu i proto přišla řeč na oblíbený termín poslední doby a sice takzvanou „hybridní novinařinu“. Tedy termín, se kterým přišel moderátor a současně podnikatel a lobbista Michal Půr, když obhajoval to, že vedle svých mnoha činností pořád moderuje i politické rozhovory vedle standardní novinářů.„Sousloví hybridní žurnalistika vnímám ve stejné rovině jako alternativní fakta. Ukazuje to na postfaktickou dobu, v níž se ocitáme. Že je běžné, že od hybridního novináře si objednáte jakýkoliv podcast a je jedno jestli jste Petr Pavel, jestli jste Slavie. Prostě přijdete do sámošky s cynismem: když platím, tak dělej, co já si přeju. A to je hybridní žurnalistika. Je to symbol doby, symbol proměněného mediálního prostředí. Je otázkou, jestli dnes už není převažující,“ říká Moravec. Dodává, že neblahé symptomy hybridní žurnalistiky vidí i u ČT.„Symptomy hybridní žurnalistiky prostupují i do médií veřejné služby a mě opravdu trápí, že nejsme schopni tomu čelit. Princip objektivity, který je ve všech kodexech, jsme zredukovali na vyváženost a odpreparovali jsme pravdivost a fakta, která jsou v tom principu objektivity daleko důležitější, než nestrannost a vyváženost,“ myslí si Moravec.„Už to jede tak, že já si objednám podcast, objednám si diskuzní pořad v ČT, objednám si, kolikrát tam mám být. Hybridní žurnalistika vám vlastně ničí i média veřejné služby. To je další věc, která před námi nevykresluje úplně růžovou budoucnost, ať už médií veřejné služby nebo vůbec té klasické poctivé novinařiny v tom nejlepším slova smyslu,“ dodává.Na závěr rozhovoru se ještě vrací k tomu, jak sám vidí svoji budoucnost na obrazovce ČT. „Teď se nemění znělka. Asi se řeší, jestli budu zamražen, nebo ne. Tak ta znělka už asi do zrušení Otázek zůstane, už se nic měnit nemusí,“ říká možná s nadsázkou Václav Moravec.Jaká je podle Václava Moravce v České televizi aktuálně atmosféra? Cítí dostatečnou podporu od vedení ČT? A baví ho i po 20 letech moderovat tentýž pořad? --Mediální cirkus. Podcast Marie Bastlové o dění na mediální scéně.

"The reality of it is machines are great at certain things, but guess what? So are we as humans. And I think that tends to be forgotten." "But we have to know when and how to interact with the machine, when to interrupt it, when to adjust it, when to augment the output."

There were also allegations of copyright infringement that were made within the context of a private WhatsApp group during the festival, and Moravec distributed an official statement privately to selected people privately on September 2nd, and then he shared his statement with me after the festival to be included here as an official comment on the matter.

Detailně jsme probrali případ Pavla Durova a Telegramu. Mezitím ho stihli propustit z vazby. I tak zůstává podle Michala zodpovědný za obsah, který se šíří na této platformě. Podle Tomáše si ale i Mark Zuckerberg uvědomil, že potlačovat některý obsah je špatně. Na které straně stojíte vy? Vláda nám lže. Nejen co se připravovaného rozpočtu týče, ale i v jiných věcech.

Travailler deviendrait optionnel ? C'est ce que pense Elon Musk qui a encore fait cette déclaration fracassante : "avec l'arrivée de l'IA, nous n'aurons plus de jobs sauf si vous voulez en faire un hobby". En bref, est-ce que le travail, notre travail, votre travail va devenir un hobby ? Alors la question posée comme ça semble totalement saugrenu, mais pas tant que ça. Un sage chinois a dit un jour que si vous ne voulez pas travailler, eh bien choisissez un job qui vous plaît. Mais tout de même, dire que le travail va devenir un hobby, c'est tout de même fort de café. Sauf pour Elon Musk qui clame haut et fort qu'avec l'intelligence artificielle, l'emploi c'est fini. C'est ce qu'il a déclaré auprès du magazine économique américain Fortune cette semaine. En réalité, cette déclaration d'Elon Musk n'est pas vraiment nouvelle. Il a dit exactement la même chose à Paris la semaine dernière dans le cadre du salon VivaTech, qui est donc la plus grande rencontre de dirigeants du secteur technologique au monde. Et s'exprimant à ce salon par webcam interposée, Elon Musk a dit plusieurs choses. Primo qu'avec l'intelligence artificielle et les robots humanoïdes, je le cite "il est probable qu'aucun d'entre nous n'aura un emploi sympa". Et puis il a décrit un avenir dans lequel je le cite à nouveau "Les emplois seront optionnels. Si vous voulez faire un travail qui est un peu comme un hobby, vous pourrez le faire sinon, l'IA et les robots fourniront tous les biens et les services que vous souhaitez".

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 64 MIN. JEN NA HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR „Domnívat se, že se nám může vyhnout maďarská, nebo slovenská cesta, je naivní,“ myslí si Václav Moravec a jedním dechem dodává, že si příklon k autoritativnějšímu režimu nepřeje ani jako občan, natož jako novinář. Říká, že podstata některých tlaků a problémů, kterým čelí slovenští kolegové v médiích, je u nás podobná. Obě země navíc spojuje nedokončená transformace v pluralitní demokracii. Boj o ni a o dělbu moci ještě přijde, předpovídá s vědomím toho, že útoky na Českou televizi, potažmo na něj coby její tvář a tvůrce nejsledovanějšího diskuzního pořadu boudou sílit. To pravé peklo podle něj nastane v souvislosti s novelou mediálních zákonů, která má zvýšit televizní a rozhlasové poplatky. Vadí mu, že managmenty médií veřejné služby nejsou schopné jejich navýšení veřejnosti lépe odůvodňovat, přitom mají ten nejsilnější komunikační kanál – Českou televizi a Český rozhlas. Připouští, že kdyby si založil vlastní podcast, měl by asi větší míru svobody. Jak daleko od vstupu na Herohero je? Čím se novináři připravují o vlastní autonomii i slovní zásobu? Proč nechce, aby Otázky Václava Moravce byly spojované s hádkami politiků? Měla by média přiznávat svou názorovou vyhraněnost? A co by nás mělo spojovat? I o tom jsme se s vysokoškolským pedagogem, moderátorem a novinářem Václavem Moravcem bavili.

Moderované politické diskusie sú pilierom verejnej kontroly politikov. Dokážu vyhrať voľby, alebo stratiť krajinu. Ich moderátori a moderátorky sú pod neustálym tlakom, majiteľov, politikov, divákov. Prečo sú tak dôležité, prečo ich časť politikov ignoruje a zároveň napáda, a ako vyzerá spoločnosť, v ktorej neexistujú?

Má za sebou maraton komentování hokejových zápasů, které vyvrcholily na mistrovství světa v Praze. I přes pozitivní ohlasy, ale není Robert Záruba se svým výkonem spokojený. „Byl to lehký průměr,“ řekl šéfkomentátor Redakce sportu ČT v podcastu Mediální cirkus.Robert Záruba, jehož lze bez přehánění označit za legendu české sportovní žurnalistiky, seděl ve studiu jen pár dní po mistrovství světa v ledním hokeji v Praze. Na otázku, jak si ho užil, odpovídá: „Nesnáším tohle slovo.“ A vysvětluje, že je v pracovním zápřahu už od konce zimy. „To jsou dvě takové věty před začátkem mistrovství světa, které se hraje v květnu, tedy po extraligovém play off, přípravě národního mužstva, kdy já toho mám úplně nad hlavu. A někdo mi řekne: Tak ti to začíná, co? A já už v únoru jedu na pětku,“ říká.Navíc, jak přiznává, je sám na sebe velmi přísný. Takže s úrovní svého komentování není letos spokojen. „Myslím, že to byl lehký průměr, že to mohlo být mnohem lepší,“ přemítá. I přesto, že ohlasy na jeho komentování s Jakubem Voráčkem byly pozitivní.V poslední době prý přemýšlí i o to tom, jak se mění klima v ČT a tlak na moderátory. „Určitě nejsem ve stejné situaci jako Václav Moravec, který je pod mnohem větším tlakem. Já vlastně tlak žádný nemám. V televizi po mně nikdo nejde. (…) Mně spíš jde o lidi, se kterými se vám buď dělá dobře, nebo ne.“ Dokázal by po 40 letech odejít z ČT někam jinam? „Umím si to představit,“ říká.Opravdu usnul mezi zápasy mistrovství světa? Tyká si se sportovci? A čí byl nápad, nechat komentovat Jakuba Voráčka? Poslechněte si celou epizodu.

In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore a diverse range of topics spanning technology, trade, security, artificial intelligence, and cultural traditions. We begin with a look at the upcoming Google I/O 2024 event, where advancements in AI, Android 15, and potential hardware updates are expected to take center stage. The discussion then shifts to the U.S. government's plan to increase tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles from 25% to 100%, a move that could significantly impact the affordability and availability of these vehicles in the American market.Next, we examine the growing trend of schools using AI technology to detect firearms on their premises, as a proactive measure to enhance safety and security. Companies like ZeroEyes and Iterate AI are at the forefront of this movement, offering AI systems that integrate with existing camera networks to identify potential threats in real-time. We also delve into the intriguing concept of Moravec's Paradox, which highlights the counterintuitive nature of AI development, where tasks that are simple for humans are often extremely difficult for machines, and vice versa.Finally, we explore the origins of Mother's Day in the United States, tracing its roots back to the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who sought to honor her mother's legacy as a social activist. The first official Mother's Day took place on May 10, 1908, and in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson established it as a national holiday. Despite its heartfelt beginnings, the commercialization of the holiday later became a point of concern for Anna Jarvis, who felt it had strayed from her original vision of personal and heartfelt expressions of love.|From Perplexity's Discover feed:Google I/O 2024 expectations: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/Google-IO-2024-1c_t5b2LSk6C5d_6JVHtkQUS puts 100% tax on Chinese EVs: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/US-puts-100-76DBEniCRcK023QdmjlbowSchools use AI to spot guns: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/Schools-use-AI-oW8vYxR_SyiwG5ycppq7hgThe Moravec's paradox: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/The-Moravecs-paradox-km0PDONzTgeY8h9.5b3ctAThe origins of Mother's Day: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/The-origins-of-_Zsjzby4RpOCFHE_XEy2awPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Echoes Across The Tracks with Dave Moravec #525 To grow a business you need to be in constant contact with strangers who may become new prospective customers. If we don't put effort into meeting new people, growth can stagnate. For many, this is a very uncomfortable situation. Growth requires putting yourself out there, so it begs the question what's the best way to get comfortable, being uncomfortable? Today we take a break from the Tao of Sales Babble and meet the author of a newly published book now available on Amazon. The author is my good friend, and former guest Dave Moravec who spins a tale about an unexpected connection with a New Orleans cab driver that leads Charlie, a Business Consultant and Author, to hear Echoes Across the Tracks.  Sales Babble shares selling secrets for non-sellers.  Masterful selling is understanding what buyers want, discerning if you can help,  showing what you have and helping them to make a decision that is good for their business and yours. See https://salesbabble.com I've interviewed 100s of sales experts and discuss all things sales: prospecting, qualifying, value propositions, presentations, demos, closing, generating referrals, earning references, upselling, marketing, lead generation, copywriting, and most important the right selling mindset. Stop fearing sales and embrace it. This is a production of Habanero Media https://habaneromedia.net

V předvečer obsazení Československa vzal šéf vojenského zpravodajství František Moravec archivy a odletěl s nimi do Británie. Zahájil odboj a pro BBC začal rozebírat dění na bojišti. „Velice logicky argumentuje, že Německo nemá možnost válku vyhrát, protože ta operace je tak velká, že to nemůže svými zdroji zvládnout. Tento způsob práce s informacemi je velkou školou i pro současnost,“ míní Prokop Tomek z Vojenského historického ústavu, který vydal sborník Moravcových analýz.Všechny díly podcastu Host Lucie Výborné můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

I was pointed toward Pete by a patreon supporter, who sent me a sort of perspective piece Pete wrote that is the main focus of our conversation, although we also talk about some of his work in particular - for example, he works with spiking neural networks, like my last guest, Dan Goodman. What Pete argues for is what he calls a sideways-in approach. So a bottom-up approach is to build things like we find them in the brain, put them together, and voila, we'll get cognition. A top-down approach, the current approach in AI, is to train a system to perform a task, give it some algorithms to run, and fiddle with the architecture and lower level details until you pass your favorite benchmark test. Pete is focused more on the principles of computation brains employ that current AI doesn't. If you're familiar with David Marr, this is akin to his so-called "algorithmic level", but it's between that and the "implementation level", I'd say. Because Pete is focused on the synthesis of different kinds of brain operations - how they intermingle to perform computations and produce emergent properties. So he thinks more like a systems neuroscientist in that respect. Figuring that out is figuring out how to make better AI, Pete says. So we discuss a handful of those principles, all through the lens of how challenging a task it is to synthesize multiple principles into a coherent functioning whole (as opposed to a collection of parts). Buy, hey, evolution did it, so I'm sure we can, too, right? Peter's website. Related papers Convolutionary, Evolutionary, and Revolutionary: What's Next for Brains, Bodies, and AI?

Few people are better at explaining the science of artificial intelligence than Yejin Choi. She's a computer science professor at the University of Washington, senior resource manager at the Allen Institute for AI, and the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. I thought her recent TED talk was terrific, and I was thrilled to talk to her about how you train a large language model, why it's so hard for robots to pick tools out of a box, and why universities must play a key role in the future of AI research.

In Season 4 of the Theory and Practice podcast, we've been investigating the powerful new world of AI applications. We've explored how to build safety guardrails into AI-driven healthcare, what the future holds for empathetic AI communication, and how humans can control computers with imperceptible movements of their hands.For episode 4, we turn to surgical robots with the help of Dr. Catherine Mohr, President of the Intuitive Foundation, who played an integral role in developing the DaVinci surgical robot system. Before we explore the limits of robotic-assisted surgery, we discuss Moravec's paradox: computers are good at things we find complicated, including complex calculations and handling large amounts of data, but not as good at perception and mobility tasks.This context explains why Dr. Mohr does not think that haptics, and the process of providing tactile feedback, is a breakthrough — humans have a very sophisticated tactile sense. She posits that we do not need to recapitulate evolution by having robots mimic human physicality. Instead, she asks, “What is the best technology I can use to solve that problem?” She believes a promising future for surgical robotics is to augment the surgeon's hands: finding the cellular edges of a cancerous tumor by lighting up a nest of cells at its margins or helping the surgeon grasp a bleeding artery when the field is obscured by blood.Further down the line, she believes we will be able to move away from extensive surgery apart from trauma and move to maintenance surgery. For example, routinely doing “precision excision,” where tumors in their earliest form can be detected and removed at the cellular level, and “precision installment” — adding regenerative cells before organs and joints are damaged irrevocably.

Transgenderism is a gateway to transhumanism—both ideologies formed by the materialist myth that our culture has consumed which consequently shapes their hopes and fears for the future. There is no denying that Gender Ideology and Artificial Intelligence are reshaping the world as we know it—but how should Christians respond to these seismic changes in society? Jay Richards is an expert on both subjects and joins Hank Hanegraaff to discuss the dangers of gender ideology and the promise of AI. Should we fear AI? Richards believes that the AI hysteria is overblown and that the term Artificial Intelligence is the greatest marketing coup ever conceived of. To understand why machines will not replace us you have to understand why materialism is false, which is why Richards wrote The Human Advantage: The Future of American Work in an Age of Smart Machines to bust the materialist myth. But, AI does pose real dangers and the only antidote to danger is virtue so Christians must respond by cultivating virtue in their lives and communities. While fears over AI are overblown, Richards believes that Gender ideology is the greatest assault on human nature ever devised. The threat is so immense that he is dedicated to fighting this insidious ideology and wrote the cover article to the Christian Research Journal dedicated to explaining everything you need to know about the cult of wokeism. Click here to learn about receiving this ‘Special Themed, Double Christian Research Journal Issue on The Greatest Assault on Human Nature Ever Devised: Everything You Need To Know About the Cult of Wokeism' for your partnering gift. Topics discussed include: How materialism leads to the false anthropology of gender identity ideology (3:25); is DEI compatible with a Christian worldview? (7:50); the huge financial incentive behind transgender care for medical providers (13:30); does intersex condition prove that there are more than two sexes? (15:05); is gender ideology a pathway to transhumanism? (17:30); AI hysteria—AI is the greatest marketing strategy ever devised (19:15); Elon Musk and the Silicon Valley denial of consciousness (24:40); bold predictions about artificial intelligence (26:00); will machines have an ultimate advantage over humans? (27:30); the massive opportunities that AI represents (29:45); Moravec's Paradox—the hard problems are easy and the easy problems are hard (34:15); the problem with most education programs today (38:50); the great advantages that AI represent in the medical world (40:30); debunking the lump of labor myth (42:20); what is critical thinking? (45:45); the key to the future is human virtue—what is virtue? why is virtue important? (48:00); why does virtue distinguish the human advantage over artificial intelligence found in machines (50:25); what is courage? (52:10); what is anti-fragility? why is anti-fragility a virtue? (56:05); are altruism and capitalism incompatible? myths and misunderstandings about what Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations (1:00:15); should we follow our passions? (1:06:20); the virtue of collaboration and Metcalfe's law (1:13:40); freedom is the capstone virtue (1:18:00); what is the difference between weak artificial intelligence and strong artificial intelligence? (1:20:25); is the happy life a virtuous life? (1:27:25); how should AI be regulated? (1:29:10); the only antidote to danger is virtue and this is true for the problems posed by AI (1:33:10); to understand why machines will not replace us you have to understand why materialism is false—busting the materialist myth (1:34:35); the dangers of AI (1:36:45); how will AI change education?
