More and more teens are turning to AI chatbots for connection, advice, and answers. What could go wrong? If you're in youth ministry, you may have already seen the dark side of this trend. In this video, we explore why this shift could be more damaging to Gen Z than social media was for Millennials—and what your ministry can do about it.   ============================= Table of Contents: ============================= 0:00 - Intro 3:00 - Takeaway #1: Delegation Becomes Dependency (Dr. Caroline Leaf) 6:57 - Takeaway #2: Formation Needs Friction 13:00 - Takeaway #3: AI Is Not A Friend 25:17 - The Theological Argument *For* AI In Ministry   IMPORTANT LINKS - Caroline Leaf: https://x.com/DrCarolineLeaf - Your Brain On Chatgpt: https://bit.ly/4nyRHKn - Hopeful Intelligence: A Framework for How Spiritual Wisdom Can Reimagine AI — David Kim [Talkingbird]: https://bit.ly/4nCb59z   THE 167 NEWSLETTER

Než přišel do studia, uplaval ráno padesát bazénů. Ví to přesně, protože aby se nespletl, počítá uplavané bazény jako zlomky. Jeho prvním vzděláním byla střední zahradnická škola, a prý dodnes zná zpaměti latinské názvy pěti a půl tisíc rostlin. A do studia přišel v tričku s motivem filmu Kmotr. Ale prý to žádný podtext ani skrytý význam nemělo.Kdybyste neznali jméno mého hosta z titulku, asi byste po těchto informacích těžko tipovali, že jde o jednoho z aktérů tzv. bitcoinové kauzy. Česká politika i média jí žijí už mnoho týdnů, zatím však moc netušíme, co se vlastně seběhlo.V dnešní epizodě bude rozhovor právě se soudním znalcem Jiřím Bergerem. Známe se jen od vidění, ale dlouho, už od devadesátých let, kdy já o rodícím se českém webu psal do Reflexu a připravoval televizní pořad Zavináč, a on byl jako zakladatel serveru Notebooky.cz jedním z internetových pionýrů.Samotný rozhovor s Bergerem je dlouhý, a delší je i tento “propagační” text. Bitcoinová kauza je složitá, a je asi důležité náš rozhovor zarámovat do toho, co o této kauze zatím víme a co se o ní pouze dohadujeme.Jiří Berger je mužem mnoha oborů i profesí, a soudní znalectví v oboru kybernetika je jen jednou z nich. Příběh bitcoinové kauzy začal 7. března v kanceláři na pražské Bělehradské třídě. Kromě Bergera tam byl i advokát Kárim Titz, který zastupuje Tomáše Jiřikovského, pravomocně odsouzeného provozovatele nelegálního online tržiště Nucleus na takzvaném darknetu. Předmětem zájmu je starý kus výpočetní techniky, který má údajně ukrývat digitální jmění v bitcoinech. Později do kanceláře dorazil i notář.Berger, jako státem aprobovaná technická autorita, měl za úkol otevřít Jiřikovského bitcoinovou peněženku, ověřit její obsah a dohlédnout na převod části prostředků českému státu formou „daru“. To také podle svých slov udělal, transparentně a odborně správně.Bezprostředním výsledkem je převod bitcoinů v hodnotě zhruba jedné miliardy korun na účet Ministerstva spravedlnosti. Brzy se však ukáže, že to byl pouhý zlomek celkové částky. Objevují se informace, že v peněženkách spojených s Jiřikovského aktivitami mohly být prostředky v hodnotě až dvanácti miliard korun. Zbytek zůstal buď nedostupný, nebo zmizel.Trvalo řadu týdnů, než se informace o daru Jiříkovského dostaly do médií. Jiří Berger se ocitl v epicentru politického skandálu. Jedno jisté: jakkoli jeho jméno veřejnost neznala, nebyl a není nějakým bezejmenným expertem s kulatým razítkem. Jeho profesní dráha je mozaikou zdánlivě nesourodých prvků, které však dohromady tvoří obraz mimořádně schopného a ambiciózního člověka.Bergerova kariéra stojí na unikátním vzdělání. Vystudoval informatiku na České zemědělské univerzitě, získal titul MBA a překvapivě absolvoval i skladatelské oddělení Konzervatoře Jaroslava Ježka. Tato kombinace technického a uměleckého vzdělání naznačuje myšlení, které se neomezuje na jedinou disciplínu.A když jsem u vzdělání, Berger absolvoval prestižní akademii projektového leadershipu v americké NASA v roce 2014. Jde o elitní centrum, které školí manažery pro řízení nejkomplexnějších a nejrizikovějších projektů na světě, srovnatelné s vesmírnými misemi.Jak jsem říkal, Berger se už v devadesátých letech etabloval jako úspěšný podnikatel. V roce 2002 prodal internetové vydavatelství Notebooky.cz mediální společnosti MAFRA, kde se stalo součástí portálu Technet.Jeho klíčovými firmami jsou FRACTAL s.r.o. a e-FRACTAL s.r.o.. Nejde o malé IT firmy; podle veřejných registrů uzavřely se státními institucemi stovky smluv v hodnotě desítek milionů korun. Společnost FRACTAL působí jako významný prodejce letenek pro korporátní klientelu.Globální ambice dokresluje projekt PhoneCopy.com. Jde o fungující službu pro zálohu a synchronizaci dat z mobilních zařízení, která má díky nástupu cloudu své nejlepší období sice už za sebou, ale i tak se může pochlubit více než 1,25 milionem aktivních uživatelů po celém světě. Berger jako CEO firmy je do projektu aktivně zapojen, což dokládají i jeho příspěvky na firemním blogu.Bergerova expertíza není jen praktická, ale i teoretická. Je držitelem amerického patentu č. 7,904,431 s názvem „Metoda a systém pro automatizované modelování požadavků”. Tento patent není jen formalitou; jeho principy se aktivně používají.Je spoluautorem několika odborných článků publikovaných v recenzovaných vědeckých časopisech, které se týkají českého systému eRecept. Jeho výzkum se soustředí na využití procesního modelování ke zefektivnění implementace složitých IT systémů ve veřejné správě. To bylo v projektu eReceptu použito například pro efektivní začlenění záznamů o očkování proti covidu.A pak je tu druhá tvář Jiřího Bergera, jeho kariéra soudního znalce a vlivného konzultanta. Napsal podle svých slov nepočítaně posudků, ale minimálně dva “vyčuhují”, protože se dotýkají opět svého času mediálně sledovaných kauz: pražské Opencard a výběrového řízení na mýtný systém, provozovaný firmou Kapsch.Plus samozřejmě již zmíněné účinkování v bitcoinové aféře. V ní čelí podezření i stížnostem, které poukazují na možný střet zájmů. Ale podle Bergera probíhalo vše standardně a nevybočilo z běžné praxe. Co bylo nestandardní, je astronomická suma, o kterou jde.Ano, zřejmě se podařilo obnovit přístup pouze k části bitcoinů, kterými Jiříkovský kdysi disponoval, ale jak říká Berger, a velmi srozumitelně to vysvětlil i Patricku Zandlovi, který o tom napsal text na svůj web Marigold, mělo to čistě technický důvod. A tím byl zastaralý typ bitcoinové peněženky, která otevřela jen ty adresy, ke kterým byly klíče na navráceném starém hardwaru. Ostatní jsou nedostupné a tedy fakticky ztracené.Objeví se někde? Ulít peníze do bitcoinu je ten nejhorší způsob, říká Jiří Berger. Je to tak? Netroufám si říct. A vlastně ani nemám ambici a hlavně ani možnosti se dopátrat pravdy. Baví mě příběhy, a ten Jiřího Bergera je fascinující.Jistě, nenabízí jednoduché odpovědi. Ale nabízí komplexní a pozoruhodný portrét muže mnoha talentů. Vizionářského byznysmena, chytrého a kreativního akademika a zároveň tvůrce, a také vlivného operátora pohybujícího se na pomezí byznysu, státu i politiky.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a transitional period as an organization, and part of their rebuild is developing a new nucleus within the organization. One-year players aren't a part of the long term future, and neither are aging veterans. So, who would be a part of this new nucleus? Jeff Hartman answers that question on this Friday episode of "Let's Ride", as well as the All Betz Are Off segment and the Hart to Heart.

In this episode of Speaking of Mol Bio, Dr. Beth Webb takes us deep into the world of platelets, often misunderstood components of blood that punch far above their weight in both physiological and pathological processes. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Leeds, Dr. Webb explores how endothelial signals influence platelet activity, and how these anucleate cell fragments play roles not only in clotting, but also in immune responses, inflammation, and diseases like cardiovascular disorders and COVID-19.Beth unpacks the technical challenges of isolating and analyzing platelets—particularly in RNA sequencing and qPCR—while stressing the importance of sample purity and the presence of platelet subpopulations. The conversation also touches on the hope of personalized medicine through platelet-based diagnostics and tailored antiplatelet therapies.Beyond the lab, Dr. Webb is an active science communicator, sharing tips on engaging broader audiences through social media, blogs, and video. She emphasizes the importance of resilience, creativity, and starting small when communicating science.

Sean and Ryan talk about who's out, who's in the NHLPA player poll, and more.

Episode SummaryAnton Jackson Smith is a synthetic biologist, Stanford PhD, and founder of b.next—a startup building synthetic cells from scratch to make biology truly programmable. Think of it as rewriting life's codebase, with applications ranging from cancer treatments and diagnostics to lab-grown foods and smart crops.In today's episode, Anton breaks down what synthetic cells actually are (and why they matter), how his open-source platform Nucleus is changing the way biology is engineered, and why the future of medicine, agriculture, and climate tech might be written in DNA.We also dig into his journey, from coding in Queenstown and law school in Otago, to cutting-edge research in Silicon Valley, and how a random article on programmable E. coli changed everything.In this conversation, we cover:• How synthetic cells could power the next generation of therapeutics and diagnostics• Why biology needs its own “AWS moment” and how open source can unlock it• The real business model behind synthetic biology (and why it's not just science)• How Kiwi strengths in agriculture and biotech could shape a global future• What New Zealand needs to do to retain and return its brightest mindsAnton also shares his vision for a safer, more ethical bio-economy, and how we can build powerful new tools without repeating the mistakes of the past.Time Stamps01:21 What is a synthetic cell—and why should you care?06:44 How Anton fell into biology (thanks to an E. coli article in Vietnam)11:12 Why modifying real cells isn't enough—and what BNext is doing differently16:30 The near-term use cases: cancer, diagnostics, and food22:47 How Nucleus is creating the open-source toolkit for biology30:14 Three phases of BNext's business model: Boot → Build → Bazaar37:10 The big vision: programmable biology that saves lives44:18 What New Zealand's biotech future could look like47:30 Returning talent, building bridges, and bringing brains back homeResources
