Please fill out this short survey. Go to: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠unpacked.bio/podsurvey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. We want to hear from you! A man is detained over a kippah bearing both the Israeli and Palestinian flags. Was it legal? Noam unpacks the surprising history of the Palestinian flag, why Israel once banned it, and why it remains one of the country's most contested symbols.

Jen and Noam record a day late because they were busy mourning the loss of Lindsey Graham. OK not really, but we did have to push back recording to make sure we could get a full headcount on current GOP leadership and their health status. Luckily Mitch McConnell also made an appearance (kinda) after being MIA for a month, but it's fair to say we have a bit of an old man problem going on.  As for the other Graham that left us last week, Graham Platner's Senate run finally came down in flames after Politico ran the story the NYT wouldn't detailing the sexual assault allegations against him. Not that he went quietly - he recorded an 11 minute selfie video telling us all how this was not his fault and it's all because (((they))) don't want him around. We're also learning some wild stuff about the duo that found him in the first place, including the usual nepo baby reveal. They are all like this, every damn time.  For our WAWC, Noam and Jen can actually talk about the same things again! We both have read and recommend There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm, and we both agree it would be a good candidate for the emerging trend of finding buzzy online horror stories to turn into movies. We do a little chatting about this week's episode of HotD since we recorded on a Monday, and also on the new Ghost In The Shell anime currently airing on Amazon.

Noam Segal is a longtime research leader across Airbnb, Meta, Twitter, Zapier, Intercom, and Figma, a certified coach, AI builder, and my community research lead. Together, we run the annual Tech Worker Sentiment Survey, now in its second year and one of the largest of its kind: a quantitative study of how people in tech actually feel about their jobs, AI, burnout, and the future of their careers. This year's survey captured responses from thousands of workers across product, engineering, design, research, marketing, data, and sales, and the results are striking.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why AI has split the tech workforce almost exactly in half—one half that's thriving, another that's shaken2. The four emotional archetypes defining tech workers right now (the Energized, the Conflicted, the Disoriented, and the Resentful)3. Why burnout has jumped an alarming 11 points in a single year4. Why nobody in tech would recommend their job to someone entering the industry today5. The #1 fear in tech right now (it's not job loss to AI)6. Why managers are the single biggest lever for employee well-being7.

When a new AI model drops, it's judged based on a static benchmark grid that doesn't account for how long the model is allowed to think. How then should we measure a model's true capability? OpenAI research scientist Noam Brown returns to talk with Sarah Guo about his latest essay on why the AI industry's traditional benchmark grids are broken, and how large-scale test-time compute is fundamentally changing how models are evaluated. Noam explains how, if properly scaffolded, today's models can reason for weeks or even months on complex tasks. He also discusses real-world implications of test-time compute, from building poker solver bots to disproving legendary math conjectures. Together, they also unpack the large gaps in current AI safety frameworks, explore the bottlenecks for recursive self-improvement, and look ahead at the future of multi-agent collaboration and global knowledge sharing.

But I'm afraid to try something new."He: "אני פה בשבילך," חייכה יעל בעידוד.En: "I'm here for you," Yael smiled encouragingly.He: נעם, בן זוגה של תמר, דאג גם הוא.En: Noam, Tamar's partner, was also concerned.He: בערבים היה מטריד עצמו בשאלות על בריאותה וכיצד ישפיעו המיגרנות על עבודתה.En: In the evenings, he would trouble himself with questions about her health and how the migraines would affect her work.He: "אני יודע שאת אוהבת את המוזיאון. אבל אנחנו חייבים למצוא פתרון גם לכלכלה המשפחתית," הוא אמר לה בזמן ארוחת ערב.En: "I know you love the museum, but we must also find a solution for the family finances," he told her during dinner.He: תמר הנהנה, מבינה את דאגתו.En: Tamar nodded, understanding his concern.He: יום אחד, בזמן שסיירה ב"חדרי ישראל," פנתה תמר להדרכת קבוצה קטנה.En: One day, while touring the "Halls of Israel", Tamar turned to guide a small group.He: לפתע, תחושת חמצן רעננה הציפה את ראשה.En: Suddenly, a fresh sense of oxygen overwhelmed her head.He: היא עצרה ליד פסל עתיק, עיניה בוהות ומתרגשות ממראה שעורר בה השראה עמוקה.En: She stopped by an ancient sculpture, her eyes wide and excited by a sight that deeply inspired her.He: החוויה בו זמנית העניקה לה רוגע וסחרחורת מדהימה.En: The experience granted her both calmness and an incredible dizziness.He: "אולי יש גם תרפיה באמנות," חשבה תמר לעצמה, בתחושה מרעננת של תקווה.En: "Perhaps there's also therapy in art," Tamar thought to herself, feeling a refreshing sense of hope.He: בעקבות הכיוון החדש, היא נפגשה עם מטפל בשם מיכאל, שהמליצה יעל.En: Following this new direction, she met with a therapist named Michael, whom Yael had recommended.He: הם עבדו יחד על שימוש באומנות כגישה טיפולית.En: Together, they worked on using art as a therapeutic approach.He: לאט לאט, תמר מצאה איזון חדש בין טיפולים שונים.En: Slowly, Tamar found a new balance among different treatments.He: היא חזרה להרגיש מחוברת לעבודתה, מלווה בתחושת הקלה וחיוניות כשהמיגרנות פחתו.En: She began to feel connected to her work again, accompanied by a sense of relief and vitality as the migraines diminished.He: "אני שמח שאת מרגישה יותר טוב," אמר נעם בערב אחד, כאשר ישבו יחד על המרפסת.En: "I'm glad you're feeling better," Noam said one evening as they sat together on the balcony.He: "אני מעריך את הכנות שלך."En: "I appreciate your honesty."He: "גם אני לומדת לבקש עזרה," חייכה תמר בשלווה.En: "I'm also learning to ask for help," Tamar smiled serenely.He: כעת, העולם היה בהיר יותר תחת השמש הקיצית של ירושלים, והמוזיאון חזר להיות מקום של נחמה וחוויות עבור תמר.En: Now, the world was brighter under the summer sun of Jerusalem, and the museum returned to being a place of comfort and experiences for Tamar.He: היא התחברה מחודשת אל האומנות, וידעה שהיא נמצאת בדרך הנכונה.En: She reconnected to art and knew she was on the right path.He: היא ויעל התיישבו שוב בקפיטריה של המוזיאון, חולקות סיפור או שניים מחייהן, בין צלילי החיים שממשיכים לזרום סביבן.En: She and Yael sat again in the museum's cafeteria, sharing a story or two from their lives, amidst the sounds of life continuing to flow around them.He: המוזיאון לא היה רק ​​מקום עבודתה של תמר, אלא גם מקלט לעולם הפנימי שגילתה מחדש בדרכה הייחודית.En: The museum was not only Tamar's workplace but also a sanctuary for the inner world she rediscovered on her unique journey.

Jen and Noam are celebrating the president's birthday! No, we aren't actually! But we are talking about Trump and his on-again, off-again affair with Iran. After we finished recording this week's episode there was an announcement of an alleged deal between the US and Iran, which sounds more like Trump capitulating to try to give himself a birthday win. Needless to say, we've heard this one before so until there is a signed piece of paper we don't believe you.  We do believe, however, that the new era of drone warfare is here thanks to Ukraine and the success they have had striking within Russia with their drones. We also agree: war without military casualties is both amazing and terrifying.  Back to the topic of Trump's birthday, the saga of the Kennedy Center's name has picked up again this past weekend. It has been reported that Trump's name has indeed been removed, but there is an…interesting scaffolding of plastic sheeting obscuring the view of the letting on the front of the building. This conversation leads us to once again lament that Congress refuses to do their job and leaves everything to the courts to clean up.  For our WAWC, Noam still really really wants you to watch the Apple TV show Widow's Bay. He also feels like Apple should be paying him at this point, since they suck at promoting their own content. Jen finally saw The Mandalorian and Grogu, a perfectly fine movie that is really episode 0 of season four of The Mandalorian. Which is a good thing!

College was supposed to be a ticket to a better life. A degree meant a good job, a decent salary, and a brighter future. That promise is breaking down. For many graduates, a college degree no longer guarantees economic security or upward mobility. In today's episode, guest host Miles Bryan talks with reporter and author Noam Scheiber about his new book, Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class, which argues that the economic prospects for college graduates have steadily eroded since the mid-2000s. The result is scrambling our politics. Miles and Noam discuss why college graduates are increasingly drawn to socialist politicians like Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani, why they've become some of the strongest supporters of organized labor, and how economic frustration among educated workers could transform the American political landscape.

What if everything you've been told about mental health is backwards? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown in honor of Mental Health Month, Dr. Paul Conti (psychiatrist & President of Pacific Premier Group PC) reveals why focusing on what's wrong with you may actually be keeping you stuck, and how a completely different approach can unlock resilience, hope, and real change. We dive into the shocking truth that MORE THAN HALF of physical health issues may originate from mental health, and why treating symptoms alone (with medication or endless information) often misses the root cause entirely. You'll learn why overdiagnosis is more dangerous than you think, how self-fulfilling prophecies quietly shape your reality, and why “feeling fine” might be the biggest thing holding you back. Dr. Conti breaks down the hidden long-term effects of trauma, including how it impacts longevity and can even be passed down genetically, and why the cycle of intergenerational trauma can stop with you. He shares his personal story, the critical difference between grief and trauma, and why letting go of guilt and shame is essential for true healing. We explore why mental health stigma still exists despite everyone talking about it, why it's so emotionally difficult to examine your own mind, and why you can't separate mental and physical health, no matter how much we try. We also discuss: - Hidden root behind multiple symptoms you didn't know were connected - Why more information won't help unless you can actually apply it - Surprising reason relief from distress doesn't equal happiness - How your recurring thoughts may be shaping your entire life - Why giving back can make you feel whole in ways nothing else can Plus, we tackle some of the most controversial topics in modern mental health: - When medication should (and shouldn't) be used - Dangers of turning to AI for therapy - Why elevating science to the level of “truth” can actually limit human growth Most importantly, Dr. Conti introduces a powerful, practical framework: using compassionate curiosity to re-examine your life story - so you can begin healing, even without professional therapy. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're missing something important about your own mind, this conversation might change how you see yourself forever!
