Story of the Week (DR):Boeing strikes $1.1 billion deal with Justice Department over deadly 737 Max crashes—and must pay $445 million to victims' familiesBoeing will avoid a felony conviction by agreeing to pay over $1.1 billion, which includes a $243.6 million fine, $444.5 million to victims' families, and more than $455 million to enhance compliance, safety, and quality systems.The families were informed nearly a week after the DOJ said it had struck a tentative deal with Boeing that allows the company to avoid criminal prosecution for allegedly misleading regulators about the company's 737 Max plane before two crashes that killed 346 people.Market Basket CEO Arthur T Demoulas placed on administrative leave by board of directorsDemoulas has been placed on paid administrative leave by the company's board of directors, along with two of his children and several other executives.The board initiated an internal investigation into Demoulas' conduct, citing concerns over transparency and succession planning. Specifically, the board expressed frustration over limited access to critical company information, including budgets and plans for leadership succession, and alleged that Demoulas was planning a work stoppage. Demoulas has responded through a spokesperson, claiming he was "ousted" in what he describes as a "farcical cover for a hostile takeover." This situation echoes a similar family dispute in 2014, which led to widespread employee protests and customer boycotts in support of Demoulas. The current conflict raises questions about the company's leadership and future direction amid ongoing supermarket industry consolidationIn June 2014, CEO Arthur T. Demoulas was ousted by a board controlled by his cousin, Arthur S. Demoulas, amidst longstanding family disputes over company control.Customer: “If the employees think another walkout makes sense, then I'd support them.

"I'm a little stuck in a bind, where I'm like, well, I don't wanna, you know, speak up against the administration, but I … also don't wanna take responsibility for everything the administration's doing. So I'm, like, kinda stuck, you know?"Deepfake ElonFalse StartAugust 2006: “[Our] long term plan is to build a wide range of models, including affordably priced family cars … When someone buys the Tesla Roadster,” he added, “they are actually helping pay for development of the low-cost family car.”2016: Musk reiterated that, even though Tesla had not yet delivered on the 2006 promise, it still planned to build an “affordable, high-volume car.”January 2025: Musk said that—finally—Tesla would start producing the affordable model in the second half of 2025.April 2025: Reuters reported that Tesla had scrapped plans for the cheap family car.

I'm certain of that. That is not a question mark.”January 2021, on an earnings call: “I'm highly confident the car will drive itself for the reliability in excess of a human this year. This is a very big deal.”December 2021: “It's looking quite likely that it will be next year,” he says.May 2023: “I mean, it does look like [full autonomy is] gonna happen this year.”One Million RobotaxisApril 2019: “We expect to have the first operating robot taxi next year with no one in them … Next year for sure, we'll have over a million robotaxis on the road.”April 2025 earnings call: Musk says that Tesla will unveil its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, next month, with up to 20 Model Y vehicles supervised remotelyLevel Five Is AliveJuly 2020: “I'm extremely confident that level 5–or essentially complete autonomy–will happen … this year … There are no fundamental challenges remaining,” he stated.December 2020: “I'm extremely confident that Tesla will have level 5 next year,” Musk tells Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer SE. How confident? “100 percent,” replies MuskMusk also tells Döpfner that a human will possibly step onto Mars by 2024.April 2025 earnings call: “We'll start to see the prosperity of autonomy take effect in a material way around the middle of next year … There will be millions of Teslas operating autonomously, fully autonomously in the second half of next year.”March 2025: Babysitting Robot Army2021: “hopefully” Tesla will be able to make about 5,000 Optimus robots this year. Musk then claimed Tesla would make “probably 50,000-ish [Optimus robots] next year.”Optimus “will be the biggest product of all time by far—nothing will even be close. It'll be 10 times bigger than the next biggest product ever made. Ultimately, I think we'll be making tens of millions of robots a year.” Mere seconds later: “Tesla would actually make “maybe 100 million robots a year.”April 2025: he told investors that production could be impacted by the restrictions on rare-earth metal exports China implemented in response to President Trump's tariffs.

In Episode 105 of Culture of Change, Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes mark Memorial Day with a powerful mix of remembrance, reality checks, and future-facing debate. Kicking off with a heartfelt discussion about Trump's tribute to fallen soldiers, the hosts reflect on the immorality of unwinnable wars and the manipulation behind America's foreign entanglements. From Biden-era military fears to propaganda-fueled conflict, Ashe and Abbey draw sharp lines between honoring true patriots and rejecting globalist war profiteering. But this episode isn't stuck in the past, it's locked on the future. Abbey dives into the rising tide of robotics and AI, passionately defending Elon's Optimus bots while Ashe pushes back with sharp ethical and military concerns. Together, they debate everything from neural networks and robot dogs to autonomous food delivery and the terrifying potential of AI-based super soldiers. Rounding out the show, the duo explores the psychology of manipulation, the power of story in shaping national consciousness, and how propaganda, like illusionist circles, becomes generational truth. With humor, heart, and fearless honesty, Ashe and Abbey take listeners to the edge of the Golden Age and ask the real question: Can we cross into it without losing our humanity?

Foti, dal Pnrr 14 miliardi per le imprese, a prescindere dalle tariffe

I 14 miliardi da destinare alle imprese attraverso la revisione del Pnrr "si riferiscono a somme attualmente non utilizzate all'interno del Pnrr. Riteniamo di utilizzarle a prescindere dai dazi, per accelerare la competitività delle nostre imprese. Riteniamo di utilizzare quelle risorse anche su altre linee di finanziamento che possano trovare nelle imprese adeguata rispondenza". Così il ministro per gli Affari europei, il Sud, le Politiche di Coesione e il Pnrr, Tommaso Foti, in risposta al question time di oggi, sulle risorse del Pnrr da utilizzare per interventi di contrasto ai dazi. Secondo l'Upb in merito all'attuazione del Pnrr: "Dalle informazioni disponibili in ReGiS all'8 aprile 2025, emerge che è stato attivato il 95% della dotazione finanziaria complessiva e che la spesa sostenuta ammonta a 64,1 miliardi (33%), di cui 27,3 miliardi relativi a Superbonus e crediti d'imposta". Quindi rischiano di essere molti i soldi da "ricollocare" da qui al 2026 per non perdere i finanziamenti. Per Openpolis al momento sono circa 50 i miliardi non ancora destinati del Pnrr che potrebbero essere "spostati" per altre voci di spesa (aiuti alle aziende o in difesa). Ma è necessaria ovviamente una revisione a Bruxelles. Interviene su questo Luca Dal Poggetto, Analista di Openpolis esperto di Pnrr.Il risiko entra nel vivo?UniCredit lancerà lunedì l'OPS su Banco BPM, ma senza escludere un futuro ricorso contro il provvedimento del Comitato Golden Power, che ha imposto vincoli giudicati eccessivi. Tra questi, il mantenimento di un rapporto impieghi/depositi al 120%, la continuità del project finance, la stabilità degli investimenti di Anima Holding e l'uscita dalla Russia entro nove mesi. UniCredit, pur ritenendo il decreto illegittimo, punta ora a una mediazione col Governo per chiarire il perimetro degli impegni, in parte influenzati dal MEF leghista. Gli analisti di Equita avvertono che tali vincoli potrebbero rallentare l'operazione e penalizzare la posizione patrimoniale. L'offerta resta intanto a sconto del 6,1%. Domani 24 aprile si terrà l'assemblea delle Generali, con un nuovo scontro tra la lista Mediobanca, che sostiene la riconferma dei vertici attuali, e quella di Caltagirone. Oltre alla governance, il nodo strategico centrale è la partnership con Natixis nell'asset management.. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Graziani, Il Sole 24 OreConti disastrosi per Tesla, Musk fa un passo indietro dal DOGE Tesla ha chiuso il primo trimestre 2025 con risultati deludenti: l'utile netto è crollato del 71% a 409 milioni di dollari e i ricavi sono scesi del 9% a 19,34 miliardi, ben al di sotto delle attese. Il comparto auto ha registrato un calo ancora più marcato del 20%, con vendite in forte flessione in USA, Europa (–62% in Germania) e Cina (–22%). Le consegne globali sono diminuite del 13%, mentre il marchio ha subito un danno reputazionale legato alla controversa posizione politica di Elon Musk, che ha affiancato Trump come “zar anti-sprechi”. Le sue scelte, come i licenziamenti di massa e il sostegno alla riduzione della spesa pubblica, hanno suscitato critiche e contribuito al calo delle vendite. Musk ha annunciato che da maggio dedicherà solo due giorni a settimana al suo incarico governativo, riaffermando però il suo impegno nella lotta alla burocrazia. Ha preso le distanze dalle politiche protezionistiche di Trump, pur riconoscendo che la decisione finale spetta al Presidente. Le tensioni commerciali e i dazi stanno complicando le catene di fornitura, aumentando i costi, specie per componenti importati come quelli dal Messico. Nonostante tutto, il mercato sembra guardare oltre: le azioni sono salite del 4,5% dopo la chiusura dei mercati, sostenute dalla narrativa futurista di Musk, che punta su robotaxi a giugno, boom dell'energy business (+67%), lancio del nuovo Model Y economico e sul robot umanoide Optimus nel 2025. Tesla rilancia così su AI e robotica, abbracciando l'idea di un futuro di “abbondanza sostenibile”. Alberto Annicchiarico Il Sole 24 Ore

The world's first humanoid robot half-marathon, with 20 robots running alongside thousands of human participants, was held in Beijing on Saturday, but it was just the starting gun for China's burgeoning robotics industry, according to executives and experts.周六,全球首届人形机器人半程马拉松在北京举行。20个机器人与数千名人类参赛者同场竞技。据业内高管和专家称,这仅仅是中国蓬勃发展的机器人产业的发令枪。The marathon, despite some imperfect performances like an occasional stumble, proved that China's humanoid robots are moving from flashy laboratory demos to real-world scenarios. In the shadow of the United States' recent tariff hikes, China's advances in artificial intelligence and robotics may stand out as a potent counterstrike, they added.尽管比赛表现存在一些瑕疵,例如偶尔摔倒,但这场马拉松证明了中国的人形机器人正在从实验室的炫技走向现实。他们补充道,在美国近期加征关税的阴影下,中国在人工智能和机器人技术领域的进步或许能成为一记强有力的反击。In the 21-kilometer half-marathon, which tested the physical limits of even some human runners, six of the 20 robots managed to finish the race. Tiangong Ultra, standing 1.8 meters tall and weighing 55 kilograms, won the race with a time of 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds.这场21公里的半程马拉松甚至挑战了一些人类参赛者的身体极限。20个机器人中有6个完成了比赛。身高1.8米、体重55公斤的“天工Ultra”以2小时40分42秒的成绩夺冠。Xiong Youjun, CEO of the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, the developer of Tiangong Ultra, said, "The goal wasn't just to cross the finish line, but to test key technologies through the rigors of a long-distance run, then improve technological breakthroughs, and finally, lay the groundwork for robots to enter factories and daily life services."“天工Ultra”的研发方、北京人形机器人创新中心首席执行官熊友军表示:“我们的目标不仅仅是冲过终点线,而是通过长距离的严酷考验,检验关键技术,进而改进技术突破,最终为机器人进入工厂和日常生活服务领域奠定基础。”Xiong said the robots needed compact, heat-resistant joints, precise motion control and strong core algorithms to finish the race. The half-marathon also tested their stability, reliability, battery life and ability to handle complex terrain like slopes and turns.熊友军表示,要完成比赛,机器人需要紧凑、耐热的关节、精准的运动控制和强大的核心算法。这场半程马拉松也考验了它们的稳定性、可靠性、续航能力以及应对坡道、弯道等复杂地形的能力。Liang Liang, deputy director of the management committee of Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, one of the organizers of the race, said: "The robot half-marathon, the world's first such race, marked a new starting gun for the whole industry. It also sparked deeper public discussion around human-machine coexistence, raised awareness and will help accelerate the development of the robotics industry."北京经开区管理委员会副主任梁靓是赛事主办方之一,他表示:“作为全球首个机器人半程马拉松赛事,它标志着整个行业新的起跑线。它还引发了公众对人机共存的更深入讨论,提高了公众的认知,将有助于加速机器人产业的发展。”The event came as China accelerates its push to develop humanoid robots, having labeled them as a "strategic frontier" in 2023, when it also set a target of mass production and domestic supply chain security by 2027.此次活动正值中国加快推进人形机器人研发之际,中国已于2023年将人形机器人列为“战略前沿”,并设定了到2027年实现量产和国内供应链安全的目标。While US companies such as Boston Dynamics and Tesla have dominated headlines with viral demos and futuristic visions, Chinese brands and companies are rapidly catching up—not just in manufacturing but also in mass-producing such robots and making them inexpensive for ordinary people.尽管波士顿动力和特斯拉等美国公司凭借病毒式传播的视频和未来愿景频频登上头条,但中国品牌和企业正在迅速追赶——不仅在制造环节追赶,更在量产和大众可负担层面发力。For instance, Unitree Robotics, another leading robotics company, priced its G1 humanoid robots at 99,000 yuan ($13,560). Such a price sets them apart from Tesla's Optimus, which is expected to cost between $20,000 and $30,000. The company said it is currently preparing for a globally livestreamed humanoid robot boxing match.例如,另一家领先的机器人公司“宇树科技”将其G1人形机器人定价为9.9万元人民币(约合13,560美元)。这样的价格使其与特斯拉的“擎天柱”(Optimus)相差甚远,后者预计售价在2万至3万美元之间。该公司表示,目前正在筹备一场全球直播的人形机器人拳击比赛。According to a recent report by Leaderobot and nine other institutions, China is on track to produce more than 10,000 humanoid robots this year, accounting for more than half of global output and generating 8.24 billion yuan in sales revenue.根据Leaderobot联合其他九家机构最近发布的报告,中国今年有望生产超过1万台人形机器人,占全球产量的一半以上,销售收入达82.4亿元人民币。With costs falling and ecosystems maturing, the humanoid robot industry is poised to leap from pilot projects to large-scale commercialization. This could give the country a new economic growth engine, the report said.随着成本下降和生态系统日趋成熟,人形机器人产业有望从试点项目迈向大规模商业化。报告称,这可能会给中国带来新的经济增长引擎。Signs of commercial traction were emerging in March, when Chinese robotics company UBTech Robotics—a provider of robots to automaker Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co—said that Dongfeng would roll out 20 industrial humanoid robots, with full deployment expected during the first half of this year.商业化信号已在三月初现端倪。当时,中国机器人公司优必选(UBTech Robotics,一家为汽车制造商东风柳州汽车有限公司提供机器人的公司)宣布,东风将推出20台工业人形机器人,预计将于今年上半年全面部署。Xie Shaofeng, chief engineer at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at a news conference last week that mainstream humanoid robots in China "are increasingly being deployed in manufacturing scenarios—assisting on auto production lines and supporting smart sorting and logistics".工业和信息化部总工程师谢少锋在上周的新闻发布会上表示,中国主流的人形机器人“正越来越多地应用于制造场景——辅助汽车生产线,并支持智能分拣和物流”。burgeoning/ˈbɜːdʒənɪŋ/adj.迅速发展的;激增的potent counterstrike/ˈpəʊtənt ˈkaʊntəstraɪk/有力的反击commercial traction/kəˈmɜːʃl ˈtrækʃn/商业吸引力;市场牵引力strategic frontier/strəˈtiːdʒɪk frʌnˈtɪə(r)/战略前沿

Shoot us a Text.Happy Friday! Today, we're covering how Elon rallied Tesla employees during a surprise all hands meeting last night. Plus, auto auctions have their best year since 2020 and consumers prefer AI-generated responses to reviews over those written by humans.Show Notes with links:Elon Musk held a surprise all-hands meeting at Tesla's Texas Gigafactory on Thursday night, reassuring employees amid a steep drop in stock value. Musk urged employees and investors to "hang on to your stock" while promoting Tesla's Cybercab and Optimus robots.Musk addressed Tesla's stock drop, which has lost roughly half its value since December, attributing future success to autonomous driving and AI.The operations team is tasked with ramping up Cybercab production, which Musk says will use a high-speed, electronics-style manufacturing process.Tesla plans to build thousands of humanoid “Optimus” robots, aiming to produce "at least one legion" this year and scale up further in 2025.Despite recent political controversy surrounding Musk, employees avoided the topic in the Q&A session.Musk admitted he is "stretched pretty thin," saying “I have like 17 jobs, at this point,” managing multiple companies and government advisory roles.The National Auto Auction Association (NAAA) reports that 2024 saw the highest number of vehicles sold at auction since 2020, marking a strong recovery for the wholesale market.NAAA member auctions moved nearly 7.6 million vehicles in 2024, a notable rebound.Of the 12 million vehicles offered, 61.3% were sold—the second-highest conversion rate ever recorded.The average wholesale price fell 5% to $13,921, but volume gains helped drive total sales to $105 billion.NAAA credits auctions as the "backbone of vehicle remarketing," offering vital services for efficient redistribution, offering logistics, reconditioning, and titling services that digital-only platforms struggle to match."Our members reported year-over-year growth despite headwinds," said Larry Dixon, NAAA vice president of auction data solutions.Who should respond to online reviews? AI or actual people? For the second consecutive year, BrightLocal's Local Consumer Review Survey found that consumers prefer AI-generated responses over those written by humans. The study raises questions about how consumers perceive AI in customer interactions.In two separate tests (a restaurant in 2024 and a vet clinic in 2025), 58% of respondents preferred AI-generated responses over human-written ones.89% of consumers are more likely to shop at a business that responds to reviews, while 56% hesitate if a business ignores them.While consumers prefer AI-written responses, 46% also say reviews "feel fake" if they seem AI-generated.Similar studies show AI-generated social media posts, ads, and product descriptions outperfoHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

This abandoned ranch revealed a ghastly secret that the New York Times likens it to Nazi death camps, while the Washington Post calls it a glimpse into hell itself. A half-century of prohibition has birthed this death cult madness—where human sacrifices and skeletal shrines reign1:03:00 LIVE audience comments1:11:06 Ukraine's Shocking Betrayal: Business Elites Plot to Flood Nation with 8.2 Million Foreigners, Erasing ‘All Ukrainian' Identity in Depopulation Conspiracy1:13:51 Foreign Truckers Invade America's Roads: Deadly Crashes, Gutted Wages, and a Government Plot to Unleash Chaos with Wolves at the Wheel     A flood of foreign-born truckers onto U.S. roads, turning 18-wheelers into rolling death traps! Wages are flat, deadly wrecks are skyrocketing, and a handful of states are giving away CDL's at an unprecedented rate — in such quantities that vetting is not possible.     Meanwhile, self-driving rigs loom on the horizon, ready to axe jobs while the government plays wolf, tossing predators into our backyards—literally, with red wolves in North Carolina1:38:55 LIVE audience comments - AI BigBrother rolling out on EMS vehicles & ambulances to hector and report on driving1:42:20 More Chicken-Little-Sky-Is-Falling Climate Reporting About Rising OceansThey even acknowledge that cities are sinking.  But how can the ocean be higher in some places than in others?1:49:07 Trump's EPA Rebe,l Lee Zeldin, Plots to Torch Climate Rules     With less than a decade to “save the planet” (how many times have we heard that?), CBS's eco-warriors are sounding the alarm: Lee Zeldin, is on a rampage to shred 31 suffocating regulations, and the green fanatics are losing their minds!  Is it real? Will it happen?  Will it last?     Meanwhile, Cuba's communist blackout hell—10 million plunged into darkness—looms as a grim warning of where “watermelon Marxism” (green outside, red inside) could drag us. 1:59:08 Bill Gates Ditches Climate Crusade for Trump's Technocracy—Leftists Scream Betrayal as Billionaires Plot Depopulation DoomBill Gates slams the brakes on his climate change empire, shuttering Breakthrough Energy's advocacy wing and cozying up to Donald Trump.

Brian and Jason kick things off with a look at why Gen Z grads are getting fired just months after landing jobs and a curiously viral declassified CIA sabotage guide. Speaking of sabotage, U.S. students are struggling with their lowest reading scores in decades, raising questions about the future workforce. Meanwhile, Google Maps' controversial renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” for U.S. users has sparked some amusing geopolitical tit-for-tats. In the AI wars, OpenAI is fuming over claims that DeepSeek trained its models using OpenAI's own stolen data—ironic, given OpenAI's history of scraping the internet. As if that weren't enough, California's Attorney General warns AI companies that nearly everything they're doing might be illegal, while the Copyright Office suggests AI copyright issues were settled way back in 1965. Oh, and OpenAI is now in the nuclear weapons game. What could possibly go wrong?In tech and business news, CVS is making customers jump through app hoops to unlock cabinets, Uber claims it's the victim of an elaborate fake crash scheme, and Tesla promises a robotaxi business and humanoid robots in 2025—though Musk admits current Teslas will need new hardware to achieve full self-driving. Whole Foods workers have formed their first union since Amazon took over, and MoviePass is considering a pivot to crypto, because of course it is. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's ventures keep making headlines, and Waymo's driverless taxis are facing vandalism in Southern California. Law enforcement in California is also in hot water, having misused state databases over 7,000 times last year.For media lovers, Star Trek: Section 31 is on the horizon, while The Expanse‘s first three seasons are vanishing from Amazon soon. Behind the Music is back, and Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music offers a deep dive into the show's musical legacy. On the gaming front, classic titles like Spaceship Warlock and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are getting attention alongside newly accessible archives of 1,500 classic gaming magazines. The Night Agent Season 2 is here and it sucks, and Amazon is hiking the price of its Music Unlimited subscriptions. Finally, the episode wraps with a nod to Marianne Faithfull's passing and China's new “magic beans” shaking up American markets—because, in this chaotic world, even the beans are making headlines because AI wrote this terrible summary.Sponsors:Factor - Get started at FactorMeals.com/grumpy50off and use code grumpy50off to get 50% off your first box plus free shipping.
