    Robby the chef has lots of endearing qualities. He can make over 5000 dishes, he's a consistent cook, and he's never late for work. But he's not a human. It is a 750 lb. stainless steel robot. With a rotating wok at its center. It's a wok-bot. Automation has changed many industries. But automation only started entering restaurant kitchens in the past couple decades. Which raises the question – what will robots mean for the restaurant industry? How will automation change jobs and how will it change the very food we eat?Today on the show, we talk with a Nobel prize-winning economist, Daron Acemoglu, about when automation is complementing or displacing workers. And we decide to put this wok-bot to the test. We pit a human chef against Robby the wok-bot in a head-to-metalhead smackdown. Further Listening/Reading:How AI could help rebuild the middle class The Big Red Button Check out our AI series: Planet Money makes an episode using AIWhy Nations Fail, America Edition (newsletter)A New Way To Understand Automation (newsletter)Get your book tour tickets here. / Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift.Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was hosted by Erika Beras and Justin Kramon.

    Nobel laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk and Deputy Minister Alona Shkrum join Lisa Burke to discuss the Advocacy Coalition and the cost of silence for Europe My Guests: - Her Excellency Ambassador Barbara Karpetová, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg - Inna Yaramenko, the Representative of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and Vice President at LUkraine - Oleksandra Matviichuk, Chairwoman of the Center for Civil Liberties, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022. - Alona Shkrum, First Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine. - Kristina Mikulova, Head of Regional Hub for Eastern Europe for the European Investment Bank In this powerful episode, the conversation shifts from the abstract concept of 'aid' to the urgent reality of strategic investment in European security. As Ukraine enters its fourth year of full-scale invasion, a new initiative has been developed by Ambassador Karpetová with the help of Inna Yaramenko. 'The Advocacy Coalition - Defending Our Future Now' has launched in Luxembourg to remind the continent that defending Ukraine is synonymous with defending the future of democracy itself. This year-long set of events will pass the baton between the founding embassies: Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, and the United Kingdom, to stand united in the conviction that defending Ukraine means defending Europe's future. Beyond Charity: A Strategic Investment Supporting Ukraine in 2026 is now viewed as a strategic investment in the infrastructure of European security. Alona Shkrum, Ukraine's First Deputy Minister for Reconstruction, explained that waiting for hostilities to cease before rebuilding is not an option. "If we do not reconstruct water, utilities, energy supply, schools, and hospitals, then people will leave," she noted, emphasising that keeping the economy functioning allows Ukraine to fund its own defence and protect the eastern borders of the European Union. The scale of destruction is staggering: the road damage alone is equivalent to the distance from Luxembourg to Iran, and the amount of housing destroyed, over 3 million units, exceeds the total housing stock of Denmark. Humanising the Numbers Whilst the statistics are overwhelming, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk focuses on "humanising the numbers". She shared the harrowing story of 10-year-old Ilya from Mariupol, whose mother died in his arms in a frozen apartment after they were caught in Russian shelling. Matviichuk also recounted the experience of Professor Irak Kyvslovski, a philosopher who spent 700 days in captivity and gave lectures on philosophy to rats in his solitary cell just to hear a human voice. "Dignity is action," Matviichuk told the audience, asserting that the "accountability gap" in international law must be closed by establishing a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression. A Year of Intensive Advocacy The Advocacy Coalition, a partnership between LUkraine, the European Commission, and nine resident embassies in Luxembourg (but they're open for more partners), will host monthly events throughout 2026. These events will tackle critical themes such as countering disinformation, reconstruction, and the role of the Ukrainian diaspora. The first event will take place at the European Parliament in Luxembourg on March 23, featuring a keynote address by Matviichuk, focussing on the abducted children. Unity as the Strongest Weapon The message from my guests underlines that unity is the strongest weapon against authoritarianism. As Ambassador Barbara Karpetová noted, even a small nation like Luxembourg can provide "shared inspiration" by standing together, mirroring the visionary leadership of historical figures like Pierre Werner, former Prime Minister of Luxembourg, whose home she now resides in. The Power of Ordinary People Matviichuk emphasises that "ordinary people can do extraordinary things". Inna cites the 700 Luxembourgish families who offered to host refugees within just three days after the invasion began. Digital Engagement: The Coalition is launching an Advocacy Platform, a digital ecosystem featuring authentic testimonies from diplomats, volunteers, and citizens to humanise the impact of solidarity.

    O filósofo e escritor Maycon de Souza apresenta uma reflexão profunda sobre a obra Ensaio sobre a Cegueira, do Nobel de Literatura José Saramago. Neste episódio, Maycon analisa os elementos filosóficos e sociais presentes na narrativa, explorando a simbologia da cegueira branca, o colapso moral das instituições e o que a obra revela sobre a natureza humana quando as estruturas da civilização entram em crise.A partir de uma leitura crítica e reflexiva, o filósofo discute como a obra ultrapassa os limites da ficção e funciona como um experimento social sobre ética, poder, comportamento coletivo e fragilidade moral. A análise também aborda como Saramago constrói personagens sem identidade nominal para representar a própria sociedade, ampliando o alcance simbólico da narrativa.Se você se interessa por filosofia, literatura que provoca reflexão e análise de grandes obras, este conteúdo oferece uma interpretação profunda e acessível de um dos romances mais impactantes da literatura contemporânea.

    My grandfather was six foot four. Always in a suit. Captain in the US Air Force. A man of very few words. Throughout his entire life, he never once told my father that he loved him. Not once. That silence — the gap between what we feel and what we express — is the central wound of our time. In this episode, I share the story at the heart of my book RESONANCE: what happened when my father decided to break a generational cycle of unspoken love, what my grandfather did with a napkin that said everything his words couldn't, and what I found in my father's desk years later during his final days. I also explore what Dr. Matthew Lieberman's research at UCLA reveals about why this matters neurologically — how social pain activates the same brain circuits as physical pain, why the Surgeon General has declared loneliness equivalent to smoking fifteen cigarettes a day, and why the Harvard Study of Adult Development found that relationship quality predicts health and longevity more powerfully than diet, exercise, or genetics. This is not about self-improvement. This is about the question most of us are afraid to ask: can you let someone all the way in?

    4 femmes, 4 combats. L'une a changé la loi. L'autre défend l'éducation. La 3ème a transformé l'art en manifeste. Et la dernière a relié les luttes entre elles. Parce qu'on ne peut pas défendre les droits des femmes sans parler aussi de racisme, de pauvreté et de justice sociale... on revient aujourd'hui sur 4 héroïnes qui ont fait bougé les lignes.Première figure incontournable : Simone Veil. Nous sommes le 26 novembre 1974 à l'Assemblée nationale française. La ministre de la Santé prend la parole pour défendre un texte explosif : la légalisation de l'avortement. Dans l'hémicycle, la situation est impressionnante : seulement neuf femmes pour 481 hommes. Le débat est extrêmement violent. Simone Veil est interrompue, insultée, attaquée personnellement. Mais elle tient bon. Sa phrase restera célèbre : « Aucune femme ne recourt de gaieté de cœur à l'avortement ». Après plus de vingt-quatre heures de débat, la loi est adoptée. La loi Veil marque un tournant majeur : elle permet aux femmes de disposer de leur corps et transforme une réalité clandestine et dangereuse en un droit reconnu.Autre combat, autre génération : celui de Malala Yousafzai. En 2014, elle reçoit le prix Nobel de la paix à seulement 17 ans. Son histoire commence au Pakistan. En 2009, les talibans interdisent aux filles d'aller à l'école. Malala n'a alors que 12 ans. Malgré les menaces, elle continue d'étudier et raconte son quotidien dans un blog. En 2012, elle est attaquée et grièvement blessée par balle. Elle survit, est soignée au Royaume-Uni et décide de poursuivre son combat. Sa voix devient mondiale. Elle crée une fondation pour soutenir l'éducation des filles. Son message est clair : l'éducation est l'une des clés de l'émancipation. Aujourd'hui encore, environ 10 % des filles dans le monde n'ont pas accès à l'école.Direction ensuite le Mexique avec Frida Kahlo. À 18 ans, elle est victime d'un grave accident qui la laisse immobilisée pendant des mois. C'est depuis son lit qu'elle commence à peindre. Mais Frida Kahlo ne cherche pas à plaire. Elle peint son corps blessé, ses douleurs, ses fausses couches, son identité mexicaine. Dans un monde artistique dominé par les hommes, elle s'impose comme une artiste libre et radicale. Son œuvre devient un manifeste : celui d'une femme qui refuse les normes et revendique son identité.Enfin, impossible de parler de luttes féministes sans évoquer Angela Davis.Dans les années 1970, la philosophe et militante américaine devient une figure mondiale. Proche des Black Panthers, elle est accusée de complicité dans une prise d'otages. Son procès devient international. Des artistes comme The Rolling Stones ou John Lennon lui apportent leur soutien. En 1972, elle est finalement acquittée. Angela Davis développe l'idée d'un féminisme intersectionnel : un féminisme qui reconnaît que les discriminations peuvent se croiser — sexisme, racisme, inégalités sociales. Une vision qui influence encore aujourd'hui de nombreux mouvements.4 femmes, 4 combats différents. Mais un point commun : chacune a contribué à élargir le champ des possibles.Le 8 mars est l'occasion de s'en souvenir. Et de rappeler que les droits dont nous bénéficions aujourd'hui sont souvent le résultat de luttes longues, courageuses et parfois solitaires.Vous aimez ce contenu ?

    Carol Nekesa doesn't know if she was ever infected by parasitic worms. But it's likely, she says, since most kids in her community had them. “It was just a normal part of childhood,” she says. Carol grew up in the 1980s in a rural village in Busia County, Kenya. Like many regions in Sub-Saharan Africa at the time, Busia lacked the infrastructure for clean water and modern sanitation, leading to the pervasive spread of infectious diseases. Parents feared deadly outbreaks like malaria and cholera, often unaware of the slower, hidden damage caused by intestinal worms. The symptoms — fatigue, diarrhea, weight loss, stunted growth — rarely made headlines, yet they shaped children's futures. At the time, more than a billion people worldwide, most of them children, were living with these infections, making parasitic worms one of the most widespread chronic health conditions on the planet.In 1998, two researchers — Ted Miguel, who is now an economics professor at UC Berkeley, and future Nobel laureate Michael Kremer — launched the Primary School Deworming Project in Busia. They had no idea that their work would become a global model proving just how much a healthy childhood matters — not just for kids in the study, but for generations to come.“It's kind of mind-blowing to be a researcher and know that your research is being cited and used as a justification for these large-scale programs,” says Miguel. “It's amazing to see.”Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-voices).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo courtesy of Ted Miguel.

    Democracy may be struggling across much of the world, but Bangladesh offers a rare counterexample. In the summer of 2024, a student-led movement forced out the long-ruling government of Sheikh Hasina. Less than 20 months later, the country conducted elections widely described as mostly free, fair, and peaceful—leading to a democratically elected government replacing the interim administration led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. In this episode, Aysha Siddiqua Tithi and Umama Fatema—leaders of Students Against Discrimination and central figures in the revolution—share what it took to organize, mobilize, and persist. They reflect on the risks they faced, the hopes that sustained them, and what democracy's revival in Bangladesh might signal for a world increasingly skeptical of democratic governance.

Además, charlamos sobre el motivo por el que la librería toma el apellido de la poetisa.Entrevistamos a Viviana Mardones, abogada, estudiosa de la intelectural chilena, que nos explica por qué Mistral ha marcado generaciones y por qué rompió el techo de cristal en diferentes ocasiones. Además, nos detalla la voluntad de esta referente de la literatura chilena y americana, ya que Mistral estableció que los ingresos provenientes de su vasta producción y en concreto de la venta y explotación de sus obras en Sudamérica debían destinarse a los niños pobres de Montegrande, una localidad del Valle del Elqui donde pasó parte de su infancia. Para ello, confió en la orden de los Franciscanos, pero no se está cumpliendo. Mardones es además representante legal de esos niños y niñas de Montegrande.Escuchar audio

    Les Luddites sont-ils de retour ? Au XIXᵉ siècle, ces ouvriers anglais détruisaient des métiers à tisser mécanisés pour protester contre l'industrialisation. Deux siècles plus tard, la cible n'est plus la machine textile, mais l'intelligence artificielle.Un collectif anonyme de technologues a lancé un projet baptisé « Poison Fountain ». Leur objectif affiché : ralentir le développement de l'IA en s'attaquant à sa matière première, les données. Leur raisonnement est simple : les modèles d'intelligence artificielle modernes, notamment les grands modèles de langage — ces systèmes capables de générer du texte, de raisonner ou de prendre des décisions — apprennent en ingérant d'immenses volumes de contenus collectés sur Internet. Si l'on contamine ces données à la source, on peut fragiliser les modèles lors de leur entraînement.Leur site, accompagné d'un manifeste, appelle ainsi des administrateurs de sites web à insérer des liens pointant vers des contenus « empoisonnés ». Concrètement, il s'agit de textes et de codes volontairement erronés, intégrant des bugs subtils et des incohérences logiques, destinés à perturber l'apprentissage des algorithmes. Deux adresses sont diffusées : l'une sur le web classique, l'autre sur le dark web, plus difficile à faire retirer.Cette initiative surgit dans un contexte de fortes inquiétudes autour de l'IA. Des chercheurs comme Geoffrey Hinton, pionnier des réseaux neuronaux et prix Nobel, alertent depuis 2023 sur les risques potentiellement existentiels d'une intelligence artificielle avancée. « L'intelligence machine est une menace pour l'espèce humaine », revendique le site de Poison Fountain. Des travaux récents donnent un certain crédit théorique à cette stratégie. En octobre 2025, Anthropic, avec l'AI Security Institute britannique et l'Alan Turing Institute, a montré qu'un nombre limité de documents malveillants — environ 250 — pouvait suffire à dégrader significativement les performances d'un modèle.Pour autant, saboter l'IA à grande échelle reste complexe. Les grandes entreprises investissent massivement dans le nettoyage des données : filtrage, déduplication, notation de qualité. Internet est immense, et les sources identifiées peuvent être mises sur liste noire. Même si Poison Fountain ne parvient pas à enrayer la course à l'IA, le projet met en lumière une vulnérabilité structurelle : si les données d'entraînement deviennent suspectes, la fiabilité des modèles vacille.

    Ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about networking? In this revealing preview from Travis Makes Friends, Travis Chappell sits down with behavioral scientist and author Jon Levy to unpack why traditional networking feels gross—and what actually works instead. Jon breaks down the four psychological triggers that open doors with high-level performers: novelty, access to other influential people, generosity without hidden agendas, and the rare emotional state of awe. He explains why powerful leaders don't need another coffee meeting, how the brain's novelty center drives curiosity and memory, and why most influential people spend far more time with assistants and staff than at glamorous events—unless something truly different pulls them out. You'll hear the origin story behind Jon's now-legendary “secret dinner” series: 12 strangers cooking a terrible meal together—without sharing what they do—only to discover they're sitting next to Olympians, Nobel laureates, Emmy winners, and even Isiah Thomas. What started as a broke experiment funded with credit cards and cheap vodka turned into a global phenomenon, landing Jon on the cover of The New York Times and transforming his career into designing high-impact experiences for major brands. Travis and Jon also dig into why networking events fail, the psychological reason people feel “dirty” when they network, and why making friends—not collecting business cards—is the real path to opportunity. They explore the mechanics of connection, from shared common ground (what Jon calls “multiplexing relationships”) to proximity, intensity, frequency, and duration—the real forces that determine whether two people bond. If you've ever wondered how to meet influential people without feeling transactional, how to stand out without status or money, or how to create environments where awe and genuine connection happen naturally, this preview gives you a front-row seat to the science—and strategy—behind building relationships that actually matter. Hit play to learn why the best networkers don't network at all—and how you can start creating rooms that change your life.Watch the Full Episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RUrACCORfA Learn more about your ad choices.

Fondée par Johann, le légendaire aïeul incarnant bon sens et solidité, la maison Buddenbrook subit l'épreuve du temps au gré des legs aux héritiers, des décisions malavisées et des coups du sort. Les descendants Buddenbrook vont devoir apprendre à vivre, tiraillés entre le poids de l'héritage et la tentation d'un destin personnel. Publié en 1901 alors que Thomas Mann est âgé d'à peine 26 ans, Les Buddenbrook a rapidement été un best-seller avant de devenir un classique de la littérature mondiale qui vaudra à son auteur l'obtention du prix Nobel en 1929.

    Managing Healthcare Benefits For 215,000 People, What The Job Actually Looks Like | Laura Tauber

    What happens when a Wall Street bond analyst, urban planner, freelance filmmaker, and investment banker all become the same person, and that person ends up running healthcare benefits for 215,000 people at the University of California? Laura Tauber didn't follow the rulebook. She followed curiosity. Laura Tauber is the Executive Director of Self-Funded Health Plans at the University of California, Office of the President. She oversees PPO plans, HMO plans, and benefit partnerships with Anthem and Blue Shield for a workforce that spans everything from Nobel laureates to gardeners — active employees, early retirees, and families spread across California and beyond. 60% of that workforce is unionized. 5 of her campuses have no medical center. And 50-60% of total plan spend runs through UC's own health system, meaning she's constantly negotiating with the very hospitals she depends on. It started not in healthcare — but in natural resources. Laura studied environmental policy, nearly became a forester, spent a summer in rural Montana, and realized that wasn't the life for her. She pivoted to urban planning, moved to San Francisco in 1982 in the middle of a recession, couldn't find work, and called a friend in New York who happened to be hiring at a bond insurance company. That one phone call put her in healthcare. She became a healthcare bond analyst — spending years doing deep financial analysis for hospitals, understanding how CFOs and CEOs think, what keeps them up at night, what their numbers actually mean. Then she moved to Blue Shield of California. Then Accenture as a healthcare strategy consultant. Then a stint in investment banking — where her biggest revelation wasn't finance, it was that she hated banking but loved strategy. Then Scan Health Plan. Then Kaiser. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, she took what she calls "a long sabbatical or a midlife crisis" — left healthcare entirely, got a BFA in cinematography, worked freelance for the BBC, worked on a travel show, and worked on a Spike Lee film. Then she came back. And everything clicked. In this conversation, Laura breaks down what it actually takes to make high-stakes benefit decisions across a system this complex — balancing member needs, budget constraints, union contracts, provider negotiations, pharmacy costs, and the constant pressure of doing right by people whose lives depend on the decisions you make. We go deep on: How her background across hospitals, health plans, investment banking, and consulting gives her a different lens when she looks at data — and why that multi-perspective thinking shapes every decision she makes The GLP-1 decision that consumed 18 months of her life — every study, every doctor conversation, every ethical consideration — and the hard call she ultimately made The $2 million hemophilia cure problem and the question underneath it: if a drug pays for itself over time and it's the right thing to do for the member, can you afford not to cover it? Why she still pulls up the raw spreadsheet herself instead of reading the summary — and why that habit has repeatedly led her to insights her own team missed What "making room at the table" actually looks like in practice — and how her first boss at UC gave her the opportunities that shaped everything that followed How she thinks about developing the next generation of leaders: understanding where people want to go, clearing the path for them, and supporting them even when that means helping them leave Why healthcare is fundamentally different from every other corporate environment — and why that emotional dimension is exactly what draws her to it Every detour Laura took — the bond analysis, the urban planning, the film set — gave her a way of thinking about problems that a straight-line career never could have built. This conversation is about what that actually looks like in practice.

    Welkin is a poetic or archaic term for the sky, firmament, or vault of heaven.To “ring the welkin” or make the “welkin ring” is a literary idiom meaning to make a very loud noise, such as shouting, cheering, or singing, that seems to echo throughout the sky or heavens. It implies creating a celebratory or boisterous sound that fills the air.Will you ring welkin?“Jet” Eisenberg knew immediately why I was doing what I did. He said that I spoke about it on the day that we met more than a quarter-century ago.He said that I have spoken about it in every class that he has ever heard me teach.Most people continue to be confused regarding my commitment to @GreatWritersSeries, so I recently updated the description of that channel on Youtube.

    Free and fair elections rarely come easily — especially in countries with long histories of political upheaval. In 2024, Bangladesh held a vote that, while not without incidents of violence, was significantly more peaceful and orderly than many comparable political transitions in recent history.In this episode of The More Freedom Foundation Podcast, Rob Morris and Ruairi explore how Bangladesh navigated a fragile democratic moment after years of turbulence, authoritarian drift, and deep political rivalry. While clashes and tensions did occur, the scale of unrest was far lower than the chaos seen during events like the Arab Spring, raising an important question: has Bangladesh turned a corner?We unpack the country's complex political story, from the legacy of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to the dominance of powerful political families who have shaped its modern trajectory. How has Bangladesh balanced Islamism and secularism? Why has power repeatedly consolidated at the top? And what made this election cycle different?We also examine the remarkable role of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, who at 83 stepped in during a sensitive transition period.

    How a Lawyer and a Listicle Launched One of Quantum's Most Influential Media PlatformsEvan Kubes had no physics degree, no engineering background, and no idea what a qubit was when he stumbled across a press release about AWS investing in quantum. What he did have was experience translating complex industries for mainstream audiences — and within months, he and co-founder Alex Challans had turned a Wix website and a "Top 20 Most Influential People in Quantum" listicle into The Quantum Insider, now one of the industry's leading media and intelligence platforms. In this episode, Evan shares how that scrappy start grew into Resonance, a multi-vertical deep tech media company — and why he spent the last year making Our Quantum Future, a feature-length documentary premiering at APS March Meeting that aims to bring quantum out of the echo chamber and onto your screen.Why this episode mattersThis episode marks a new chapter for The New Quantum Era. In the intro, Sebastian shares some big updates — going fully independent, new media projects including the Helgoland 2025 documentary, a newsletter, and broader efforts to build a more accessible and equitable quantum technology ecosystem through open source and open standards. He also announces his new role as a Fellow at the Unitary Foundation. Read the full blog post: A New Chapter.The conversation with Evan Kubes is a perfect fit for this moment. Evan sits at the intersection of quantum's technical community and the broader world trying to make sense of it — a translator between physicists and the public. His story illuminates something the industry rarely discusses: how do you actually build awareness, trust, and market understanding for a technology most people can't explain?The documentary Our Quantum Future, produced for the International Year of Quantum and featuring Nobel laureates, a former CIA officer, and the leaders of Google, Microsoft, and IonQ, is designed for exactly that audience — the curious non-specialist who wants to understand what quantum means for the world. The ethics and national security themes it surfaces are relevant well beyond the quantum community.What you'll learnHow The Quantum Insider went from zero readers to a leading quantum industry platform using a creative "vanity listicle" strategy that got CEOs to respond overnightWhy a lawyer from the esports world saw the same market opportunity in quantum that venture capitalists were pouring billions into — and what that says about the accessibility gap in deep techHow the Resonance media model applies The Quantum Insider playbook to space, AI, and climate tech — and what makes a deep tech vertical ripe for this approachWhat 39 interviews across 40 countries revealed about how the quantum community thinks about ethics — including a striking divide between engineers ("I'm just solving a hard problem") and policymakers ("we need safeguards now")The Oppenheimer parallel: how the documentary draws a direct line between the atomic bomb's development and today's quantum technology, and why some builders don't think about consequences while others think about nothing elseA former CIA operative's reframing of quantum advantage as incremental compounding — 1% better per year for five years — and why that makes quantum feel much more real today than the "break all encryption" narrative suggestsWhy academics and corporate leaders consistently disagree on quantum's timeline, and where Evan lands after a year of filming both campsResources & linksGuest linksThe Quantum Insider — Quantum industry media, intelligence, and data platform co-founded by EvanResonance — Parent company extending the deep tech media model to space, AI, climate tech [link to confirm]Our Quantum Future — Documentary website with sign-up for distribution updatesPeople mentioned in the episodeAlex Challans — Co-founder and CEO of The Quantum Insider; Evan's business partnerNicholas Ogler — Former CIA operative featured in the documentary; redefines quantum advantage from a national security lensDr. Bill Phillips — Nobel Prize-winning physicist; discusses his bet with Carl Williams on the quantum advantage timelineDr. John Doyle — Professor of quantum at Harvard, president of APS; draws the Oppenheimer parallelIlyas Khan — Former CEO of Quantinuum; argues for educational licensing frameworks around quantum technologyEric Cornell — Nobel Prize winner featured in the documentaryMentioned in the introA New Chapter — NQE blog post — Sebastian's full announcement on going independent, new projects, and the future of the podcastUnitary Foundation — Open-source quantum technology ecosystem; Sebastian is now a FellowKey quotes & insights"When Oppenheimer and the most brilliant minds in the world were developing the atom, you had a large group who didn't really understand what they were building — they were just trying to solve a very difficult engineering and physics problem. We posed that same question to engineers at Google today: do you ever think about the potential consequences of what you're building? They said, absolutely not.""Quantum advantage to me is simply: if I can do a certain task 1% better every single year for five years, that compounds quite heavily. A country that uses quantum to improve radar detection by half a percent per year for five years has a massive advantage." — Nicholas Agler, former CIA"We emailed 20 people in the quantum industry — CEOs of Microsoft, Google, IonQ, Atom Computing — and said: Congratulations, you made The Quantum Insider's list of the top 20 most influential people in quantum. Every single person responded and agreed to do an interview.""For any industry to succeed, you've gotta get the venture capitalists and the capital markets around it, and you've gotta get the end users excited. If it's only PhDs talking to each other, it's gonna be a very limited market.""This documentary was not made for the quantum industry.

    Super intelligence artificielle, agents IA, impact sur l'emploi, place de l'Europe, bulle financière... Mon invité décrypte ces questions essentielles.Interview : Aymeric Roucher, ingénieur et auteur de Ultra Intelligence, jusqu'où iront les IA ?Cet épisode reprend les meilleurs passages de l'interview du 17 février 2026.PunchlinesOn se moque que l'IA nous dépasse, c'est l'impact dans la vie réelle qui est important.L'Europe est complètement à la traîne.Je crois plus à la confrontation entre pays qu'à la perte de contrôle de l'IA.Tous les métiers qui s'exercent sur ordinateur sont remplaçables.L'AGILe concept d'AGI n'est pas satisfaisant. Vouloir absolument que l'IA nous dépasse sur tout n'est pas un critère utile. On se moque qu'elle soit moins forte que nous sur certains domaines, par exemple la mémoire épisodique. Ce qui compte, c'est son impact réel. Si elle peut accomplir des choses majeures, comme obtenir un prix Nobel de physique, c'est plus pertinent que de savoir ce qu'on a mangé hier soir. On arrive déjà à des IA plus fortes que nous dans certains domaines. L'essentiel est la portée concrète de leurs capacités.Les agents IAUn agent, c'est un modèle de langage à qui l'on donne des outils : messagerie, recherche, tableur, clics sur un écran. Les modèles progressent en résolvant des tâches de plus en plus longues. Aujourd'hui, certains agents atteignent déjà des heures d'autonomie. Demain, ils pourront gérer des tâches sur une semaine entière. Tous les métiers réalisés intégralement sur ordinateur deviennent techniquement faisables par ces agents. Perte de contrôleLe vrai risque n'est pas technologique mais géopolitique. Plus qu'une IA qui se rebelle, il suffit qu'un acteur mal intentionné possède ces technologies pour que cela tourne mal. Ce qui est à craindre, c'est surtout une confrontation entre pays. L'EuropeLes IA actuelles en Europe ne sont pas assez avancées pour se révolter. Les États-Unis concentrent l'essentiel de la puissance de calcul mondiale, l'Europe est très loin derrière. De fait, avec un tel écart, l'Europe ne peut pas être compétitive. Au niveau mondial, la montée de l'IA va profondément transformer l'économie, avec un risque réel de chômage de masse si les reconversions ne suivent pas.La bulle Il n'y a pas de bulle de l'IA car les fondamentaux sont bons. La question centrale est simple : l'IA va-t-elle continuer à progresser ? Les tendances de long terme montrent que oui. Si cette courbe se poursuit, les conséquences seront majeures. L'IA prendra une part énorme dans l'économie. Les modèles progressent en permanence. Ce qui semblait impossible il y a un an devient faisable aujourd'hui, et le sera encore davantage demain.

    Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific?

    Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific?

    Myanmar just held its latest round of so-called elections - but the military's proxy party won over 85% of seats after banning the country's most popular opposition party and imprisoning its leaders, including Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. Voting couldn't even take place across large portions of the country because resistance forces control the territory. So why do these sham elections matter to the rest of the world?In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with retired three-time U.S. Ambassador and author Scot Marciel to unpack what these elections really mean, and why the stakes reach far beyond Southeast Asia.Myanmar has become the world's largest source of methamphetamines and a booming hub for cyber scam operations that bilk victims worldwide out of billions of dollars annually. China is simultaneously deepening its strategic footprint in the country, building ports and pipelines from its southern provinces to the Indian Ocean - a critical geopolitical waterway - while Chinese companies extract rare earth minerals from Myanmar's north that barely benefit the country's own people.Ambassador Marciel explains why the military held elections at all - not out of any democratic impulse, but to manufacture legitimacy and give countries like China, India, and Russia a convenient excuse to re-engage. He also breaks down why ASEAN, despite refusing to certify the results, remains largely paralyzed: constrained by its own consensus rules and non-interference norms, while watching China's influence expand with little competition.On the outlook, Marciel is candid: there is no magic bullet, no easy diplomatic compromise, and the most likely near-term scenario is more of the same - a grinding civil war fading into the background while a fatigued world looks away. But he closes with one reason for hope: the extraordinary, unbreakable resilience of the Myanmar people themselves.

    Toni Morrison was many things in her lifetime—Nobel laureate, renowned author, Princeton professor, and generous mentor to young writers. Her appeal translated seamlessly to the internet, where old interview clips still bubble up regularly on social media, reminding us of her sharp wit and commanding presence. But, as Namwali Serpell argues in a new book of essays, “On Morrison,” this undeniable star persona risks eclipsing the genius—and complexity—of the eleven novels she wrote. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz dive back into these works to rediscover the writer as she was on the page. The hosts discuss Morrison's début novel, “The Bluest Eye”; “Beloved,” which is widely regarded as her masterpiece; and “Jazz,” the experimental 1992 novel believed to be her personal favorite. Throughout her career, she insisted on writing flawed, dynamic characters rather than paragons of virtue. “The Morrison project is to put Black life, and particularly the lives of Black women, at the very center of literature—but to do it in a way that's true to character and to human experience,” Schwartz says. “The people she's writing about are damaged, are greedy, are jealous, are sad . . . and also are generous, and loving, and hurt and trying to heal.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“On Morrison,” by Namwali Serpell“Toni Morrison, the Teacher,” by Vinson Cunningham (The New Yorker)“The Bluest Eye,” by Toni Morrison“Song of Solomon,” by Toni Morrison“Toni Morrison and the Ghosts in the House,” by Hilton Als (The New Yorker)“Jazz,” by Toni Morrison“Beloved,” by Toni Morrison“Sula,” by Toni Morrison“Black Writers in Praise of Toni Morrison” (The New York Times)“The Blue Period: Black Writing in the Early Cold War,” by Jesse McCarthyMonuments at MOCA and the Brick“Language as Liberation,” by Toni MorrisonNew episodes drop every Thursday.
