Nantucket's "No Influencers" Sign Started a Gender and Class War, Here's What It's Really AboutSUPPORT MY WORK: Buy a paid subscription to my newsletter at https://www.usermag.co     Support my work on Patreon: http://patreon.com/taylorlorenz Last week, the internet exploded after a small Nantucket shop posted a simple sign reading "No Influencers." What started as a local controversy quickly became a national debate about influencer culture, old money, quiet luxury, class, authenticity, and the future of social media.In this bonus episode of Power User, I'm joined by freelance reporter Andrea Domanick, co-host of The Culture Journalist podcast and newsletter, to unpack the most cursed discourse of the summer. We get into why this fight is not actually about one sign or one influencer, and who gets to define status, taste, and authenticity in America's most exclusive spaces. We explore:The Four Winds Craft Guild controversyPaige Lorenz and Dairy BoyQuiet luxury and the old money aestheticThe rise of influencer cultureWhy "influencer" has become a loaded wordThe history of influencer bansSocial media, class, and cultural capitalWhy privacy has become the ultimate luxury

The biggest fight in AI isn't about chatbots anymore, it's about who gets to control the future of artificial intelligence. SUPPORT MY WORK: Buy a paid subscription to my newsletter at https://www.usermag.co    Support my work on Patreon: http://patreon.com/taylorlorenz        Is Anthropic trying to lock down AI before their IPO, or are open-weight models genuinely a threat to global safety? In this episode of Power User, Matthew Berman, co-founder of the tech media outlet Forward Future, breaks down the explosive debate rocking Silicon Valley and Washington DC. After the release of China's powerful Kimi K3 open-weight model, OpenAI's autonomous hacking benchmark, and a growing push from Anthropic to restrict open AI models, Silicon Valley has erupted into one of the biggest technology battles in years.   Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Microsoft, Meta, Google, IBM, Hugging Face, Mozilla, Palantir, Dell and dozens of other massive technology companies have all come together to publicly back open weight AI models, while Anthropic argues against them. Whoever wins will control the future of the tech landscape for decades to come. I break down: What open weight AI actually isHow Kimi K3 changed the AI raceThe OpenAI benchmark that escaped containmentThe Hugging Face security incidentAnthropic's campaign against open modelsWhy Jensen Huang and all of Silicon Valley is pushing backThe growing debate inside Washington over regulating AIWhy this fight could determine who controls AI for decades

Modelle wie die von OpenAI oder Anthropic werden zur Commodity. Wer ein bisschen wartet, bekommt die gleiche Qualität ohnehin von mehreren Anbietern. Was bleibt, ist die Architektur drumherum, der Harness. Oliver und Alois erklären, wie Unternehmen General-Purpose-Modelle mit Speicher, Prompts und Agenten so einbetten, dass ein verlässliches eigenes System entsteht. Für manche Startups ist das schon die neue Core IT der Firma.Ein Thema ist das Geschäftsmodell dahinter: günstige Einstiegszugänge für 100 bis 300 Dollar im Monat binden Early Adopter in Teams, bis am Ende die großen Enterprise-Tickets über die API laufen.Lizenzchaos als Symptom: Kontingente wechseln wöchentlich, Power User werden automatisch gedrosselt, SLAs sind kaum planbar. Was früher eine feste DSL-Leitung war, ist heute eine Blackbox mit wechselnder Durchsatzrate. Wer eine verlässliche Entwicklungsstrecke bauen will, baut sie momentan auf Treibsand.Für Oliver und Alois ist das ein Argument für Dezentralisierung: eigene On-Prem-Architekturen, eingefrorene Modelle für stabile Use Cases, das Frontier-Modell nur noch als Dispatcher. Gerade im Verteidigungssektor, mit verteilten Datenquellen und Sensorik, wird daraus ein hierarchischer oder asymmetrischer Harness aus Spezialmodellen.China im Vergleich: weniger Brute Force, mehr Smart Force, dazu eine Open-Source-Szene, die mit weniger Rechenleistung mehr rausholt. Für europäische Anwender sind chinesische und amerikanische Modelle inzwischen ähnlich compliant. Bei sensiblen Workloads bleibt trotzdem die eigene Infrastruktur die sicherere Wahl.Für den Einstieg raten beide zu fertigen Plattformlösungen mit fester Modellauswahl. Das senkt die Hürde und liefert schnell ein erstes Ergebnis. Je klarer der eigene Use Case wird und je mehr proprietäre Daten und Geschäftslogik einfließen, desto mehr lohnt sich der Wechsel zum eigenen Harness statt der fremden One-Click-Lösung.Fazit: Harnessing ist am Ende eine Make-or-Buy-Entscheidung. Die großen Anbieter liefern den Göffel, die Mischung aus Löffel und Gabel für fast alles. Wer sein eigenes Besteck zusammenstellt, tauscht die stumpfe Gabel gegen ein schärferes Werkzeug, sobald der Use Case es verlangt. Wenn du wissen willst, wie das geht, ist diese Folge für dich.

We are never going to Mars.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and other tech billionaires claim humanity's future depends on becoming a multi-planetary species. But what if nearly everything you've been told about colonizing Mars is quite literally scientifically impossible?In this week's episode of Power User, I sat down with physicist and science journalist Adam Becker, author of More Everything Forever, a fantastic book that I absolutely loved, to break down the biggest myths about Mars colonization, SpaceX, AI, and Silicon Valley's vision of the future.  We discuss why Mars is far more hostile than most people realize, the scientific barriers that make permanent settlement nearly impossible, and why billionaires continue selling this vision despite knowing it will never become reality. We cover:Why humans will literally NEVER live on MarsThe biggest scientific problems SpaceX can't solveThe truth about Elon Musk's Mars colony plansWhy Silicon Valley keeps selling science fiction as realityHow AI and space colonization became part of the same billionaire narrativeWhy investing in Earth may matter far more than escaping it

Indeed increased AI coding tool adoption from roughly 25% to 97% across its engineering organization, but getting engineers to use the tools was only part of the challenge.In this session from DX Annual, Michael Redding, Principal Product Manager, and Jeff Davis, VP of Core Infrastructure at Indeed, explain how the company used structured training, leadership support, and ongoing community engagement to help more than 2,000 engineers build practical AI skills. They share why an early train-the-trainer model fell short, how they redesigned their approach around hands-on learning, and what they learned about balancing adoption, measurement, and psychological safety.They also discuss the impact of the program on coding time, the role of continuous enablement after formal training ended, and how Indeed is preparing for the next phase of AI adoption, including agentic workflows and AI-powered coaching.Where to find Jeff Davis: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/utjeffd Where to find Michael Redding:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reddingsetgoIn this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(01:05) Indeed's DX survey from January 2025(02:30) The two-part strategy to double engineering productivity(04:21) How Indeed increased AI adoption from 25% to 97%(15:40) Results from Indeed's AI training program(18:33) How Indeed sustains AI adoption and learning(23:06) What's next for AI enablement at Indeed(24:41) Q&A: How coding time was calculated(25:25) Q&A: How Indeed uses AI playbooks(26:40) Q&A: Balancing asynchronous and live AI training(28:22) Q&A: Psychological safety during AI adoption(31:44) Q&A: Why AI adoption spikes after the holidays(33:20) Q&A: The metrics Indeed tracked (35:22) Q&A: Where the time savings are going (36:54) Q&A: Reaching engineers who skipped the training(38:08) Closing thoughtsReferenced:• Indeed• Claude Code | Anthropic's agentic coding system• Cursor• Windsurf• Amp Code• The Complete Guide to Building Skills for Claude | Anthropic• Measuring developer productivity with the DX Core 4

SpaceX just pulled off the biggest IPO in history and made Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire. But is it all built on a fantasy?SUPPORT MY WORK: Buy a paid subscription to my newsletter at usermag.co       Support my work on Patreon: http://patreon.com/taylorlorenz In this week's episode of Power User, I sit down with Ryan Mac, the main New York Times reporter covering SpaceX and co-author of Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter, to unpack how SpaceX went from a startup mocked by aerospace veterans to a $2+ trillion company that governments, militaries, and your retirement fund now depend on.We trace the full story from the early rocket explosions, the near-bankruptcy before Falcon 1 reached orbit in 2008, the NASA contract that saved the company, and how reusable rockets and Starlink turned SpaceX into an unstoppable money machine with 10,000 satellites in orbit. We dive deep into Elon's trillion-dollar bet on "orbital data centers," his plan to move AI infrastructure into space, the acquisition of xAI, the Cursor deal, a possible Tesla–SpaceX merger, and his 82% voting control that makes him almost impossible to challenge.Is Elon Musk now too big to fail? Has he escaped the gravity of accountability? Or will his dreams of putting data centers in space come crashing back to Earth? And if/when that happens, who's left holding the bag? Ryan and I get into all of it.In this episode: – How SpaceX was founded and almost died – Why Starlink became the company's cash engine – Reusable rockets, barge landings, and the "chopsticks" catch – The plan to put AI data centers in space (and why experts are skeptical) – Inside the record-breaking SpaceX IPO – How index funds and 401ks got pulled into SpaceX – Elon's 82% control and the road to "Elon Inc" – Whether Musk is now the most powerful man on Earth

K, grab your glass of red and come sit. We need to talk about AI.The discourse has been rampant the last few months: vibe-coding, Claude Cowork, agentic AI, OpenAI and partnering with the Department of War, AI psychosis, custom dashboards, apps, and GPTs...We are FLOODED with info right now, and instead of leading with curiosity, social media has become a 360 slam-dunk fest on who's right or wrong. When the internet is filled with black and white thinking, name-calling, and passive aggressive posts... I can't help but wonder: isn't this what led to the surge of AI in the first place? Did the AI boom happen due to a lack of communication, conflict resolution, and critical thinking skills?Why would people turn to a robot instead of a human to ask questions about business, life and love? Why aren't we hiring real people right now, even when we know it's the "right" thing to do? What's the point of moving at lightning speed? Where is this all taking us?These are all the questions I ask today, from both sides of the debate. I was a Power User not too long ago, and am currently on an "AI cleanse". I share how one long afternoon with a custom GPT and one too many prompts led me to this point...As usual, no final answers here. Just observations, thoughts, questions, and ideas for how we can stop pieing each other in the face about AI and instead, build a bridge with curiosity, imagination, stories and some good ole fashioned empathy.I can't wait to hear your thoughts!People mentioned in this ep:Ximena - everyone's favorite Mexican Eco-PhilosopherKP Pilley - Editorial Strategist & 9-Grid ExtraordinaireXanthe Appleyard & Social LifeSocial media is fickle AF, but your community doesn't have to be.

Ben Shapiro's Media Empire Is CollapsingSupport my independent journalism: 

In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, Cloud Wars Founder Bob Evans is joined by Dona Sarkar, Chief Troublemaker of AI Adoption at Microsoft, who shares her perspective on how leaders should approach AI adoption, why fear around AI replacing jobs is misplaced, and how executives can create a culture of experimentation. Speaking from the 2026 AI Agent & Copilot Summit NA in San Diego, Sarkar explains why organizations need AI-first thinking, stronger leadership involvement, and a focus on solving impossible problems rather than simply improving existing workflows. Key Takeaways AI Won't Replace You — But Someone Using AI Might: Sarkar strongly pushes back against the fear-driven narrative around AI replacing workers. She explains that change does not happen overnight and that professionals should focus on becoming AI power users instead of waiting for disruption to happen to them. As she puts it, “We will be relevant, irrelevant. Who's they? Exactly. You can be they.” She encourages workers to learn AI within their own discipline (legal, finance, sales, or operations) and become the person who understands how to train, guide, and supervise it. The future belongs to those who learn to “harness its power.” AI Should Solve Impossible Problems, Not Just Existing Ones: Rather than using AI only to optimize familiar work, Sarkar believes organizations should target the problems they have never been able to solve. She says, “Let's go solve the problems we've never been able to solve because we just don't have the human capital.” This shift moves AI from being a cost-cutting exercise to a growth engine. Leaders should use AI to uncover opportunities, identify market gaps, and rethink what their companies are capable of delivering in the future. Focus on Team Productivity, Not Personal Productivity: Sarkar argues that many companies are stuck in outdated AI use cases like meeting summaries and individual task optimization. She believes the real opportunity lies in workflow transformation across teams. “You have to get outside the personal productivity experiments.” By identifying full workflows — like sales enablement or content operations — and improving them with AI agents, companies reduce fear and unlock capacity for new work. AI should create room for innovation and experimentation, not simply make individuals feel more replaceable. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

In this UC Today interview, host Christopher Carey speaks with Loopio CEO Zak Hemraj about Loopio's latest industry report on the impact of generative AI on the workforce - and one headline stands out: over 80% of teams are now using AI in their workflows, with more than half using it daily. Zak also highlights a surprise trend - financial services and banking, often viewed as cautious adopters, are among the most aggressive in embracing AI, driven in some cases by top-down executive mandates and structured governance.The conversation explores why “capacity” has become the top challenge even as AI reduces time spent writing, how productivity gains can be offset by rising demand, what separates top performers in how they apply AI beyond first drafts, and what comes next as enterprises push toward agentic AI - alongside growing security and risk concerns.

Get featured on the show by leaving us a Voice Mail: https://bit.ly/MIPVM AI enablement is a change problem, not a tech problem. In this episode, Molly Rupert-Sullivan breaks down how to support three groups at once: people who do not get AI yet, people who want to opt out, and champions who want more. You will hear practical ways to set expectations, avoid over‑teaching “all AI”, and build momentum by giving champions the right access, platforms, and repeatable wins that can scale across an organisation.

Most employees are using about 1% of what AI can actually do. Not because they're lazy. Not because they lack access. But because no one has shown them how to think with it. Meanwhile, somewhere in Silicon Valley, a 23-year-old is running a startup like they've got 28 PhDs sitting beside them—for a penny a minute. That gap isn't theoretical. It's operational. And it's widening by the hour.In this conversation, Kevin Surace and I dig into what that gap really means—for your productivity, your profession, and your relevance. From three-paragraph prompts to million-dollar consulting projects replicated in minutes, we explore why this wave looks familiar (desktop computers, the internet, Excel) and why it's moving faster than all of them.

Sydney Sweeney is Hollywood's most-discussed starlet, often for confusing reasons. Her existence as a visible woman with a human body made her the target of widespread male adoration, ridicule, and political projection. How she navigates being the new Miss American Dream is yielding increasingly bizarre results — what's the deal with her eugenics, I mean genetics? And the bathwater? In this much-requested episode, Taylor, Kat and I examine the 27-year-old's relationship to wokeness (just kill me already), the line between sex work and whatever's happening in her brand endorsements, and the right-wing media's penchant for manufacturing hysteria.

What happens when an internal hack turns into a $400 million AI rocket ship? In this episode, Matt Turck sits down with Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code at Anthropic, to unpack the wild story behind the fastest-growing AI coding tool on the planet.Boris reveals how Claude Code started as a personal productivity tool, only to become Anthropic's secret weapon — now used by nearly every engineer at the company and rapidly spreading across the industry. You'll hear how Claude Code's “agentic” approach lets AI not just suggest code, but actually plan, edit, debug, and even manage entire projects—sometimes with a whole fleet of subagents working in parallel.We go deep on why Claude Code runs in the terminal (and why that's a feature, not a bug), how its Claude.md memory files let teams build a living, shareable knowledge base, and why safety and human-in-the-loop controls are baked into every action. Boris shares real stories of onboarding times dropping from weeks to days, and how even non-coders are hacking Cloud Code for everything from note-taking to business metrics.AnthropicWebsite - https://www.anthropic.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/AnthropicAIBoris ChernyLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bchernyX/Twitter - https://x.com/bchernyFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (01:15) Did You Expect Claude Code's Success?

The 2025 generative AI image market is a trade-off between aesthetic quality, instruction-following, and user control. This episode analyzes the key platforms, comparing Midjourney's artistic output against the superior text generation and prompt adherence of GPT-4o and Imagen 4, the commercial safety of Adobe Firefly, and the total customization of Stable Diffusion. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-25 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Build the future of multi-agent software with AGNTCY. The State of the Market The market is split by three core philosophies: The "Artist" (Midjourney): Prioritizes aesthetic excellence and cinematic output, sacrificing precise user control and instruction following. The "Collaborator" (GPT-4o, Imagen 4): Extensions of LLMs that excel at conversational co-creation, complex instruction following, and integration into productivity workflows. The "Sovereign Toolkit" (Stable Diffusion): An open-source engine offering users unparalleled control, customization, and privacy in exchange for technical engagement. Table 1: 2025 Generative AI Image Tool At-a-Glance Comparison Tool Parent Company Access Method(s) Pricing Core Strength Best For Midjourney v7 Midjourney, Inc. Web App, Discord Subscription Artistic Aesthetics & Photorealism Fine Art, Concept Design, Stylized Visuals GPT-4o OpenAI ChatGPT, API Freemium/Sub Conversational Control & Instruction Following Marketing Materials, UI/UX Mockups, Logos Google Imagen 4 Google Gemini, Workspace, Vertex AI Freemium/Sub Ecosystem Integration & Speed Business Presentations, Educational Content Stable Diffusion 3 Stability AI Local Install, Web UIs, API Open Source Ultimate Customization & Control Developers, Power Users, Bespoke Workflows Adobe Firefly Adobe Creative Cloud Apps, Web App Subscription Commercial Safety & Workflow Integration Professional Designers, Agencies, Enterprise Core Platforms Midjourney v7: Premium choice for artistic quality. Features: Web UI with Draft Mode, user personalization, emerging video/3D. Weaknesses: Poor text generation, poor prompt adherence, public images on cheap plans, no API/bans automation. OpenAI GPT-4o: An intelligent co-creator for controlled generation. Features: Conversational refinement, superior text rendering, understands uploaded image context. Weaknesses: Slower than competitors, generates one image at a time, strict content filters. Google Imagen 4: Pragmatic tool focused on speed and ecosystem integration. Features: High-quality photorealism, fast generation, strong text rendering, multilingual. Weaknesses: Less artistic flair; value is dependent on Google ecosystem investment. Stable Diffusion 3: Open-source engine for maximum user control. Features: MMDiT architecture improves prompt/text handling, scalable models, vast ecosystem (LoRAs/ControlNet). Weaknesses: Steep learning curve, quality is user-dependent. Adobe Firefly: Focused on commercial safety and professional workflow integration. Features: Trained on Adobe Stock for legal indemnity, Generative Fill/Expand tools. Weaknesses: Creative range limited by training data, requires Adobe subscription/credits. Tools and Concepts In-painting: Modifying a masked area inside an image. Out-painting: Extending an image beyond its original borders. LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation): A small file that applies a fine-tuned style, character, or concept to a base model. ControlNet: Uses a reference image (e.g., pose, sketch) to enforce the composition, structure, or pose of the output. A1111 vs. ComfyUI: Two main UIs for Stable Diffusion. A1111 is a beginner-friendly tabbed interface; ComfyUI is a node-based interface for complex, efficient, and automated workflows. Workflows "Best of Both Worlds": Generate aesthetic base images in Midjourney, then composite, edit, and add text with precision in Photoshop/Firefly. Single-Ecosystem: Work entirely within Adobe Creative Cloud or Google Workspace for seamless integration, commercial safety (Adobe), and convenience (Google). "Build Your Own Factory": Use ComfyUI to build automated, multi-step pipelines for consistent character generation, advanced upscaling, and video. Decision Framework Choose by Goal: Fine Art/Concept Art: Midjourney. Logos/Ads with Text: GPT-4o, Google Imagen 4, or specialist Ideogram. Consistent Character in Specific Pose: Stable Diffusion with a Character LoRA and ControlNet (OpenPose). Editing/Expanding an Existing Photo: Adobe Photoshop with Firefly. Exclusion Rules: If you need legible text, exclude Midjourney. If you need absolute privacy or zero cost (post-hardware), Stable Diffusion is the only option. If you need guaranteed commercial legal safety, use Adobe Firefly. If you need an API for a product, use OpenAI or Google; automating Midjourney is a bannable offense.

Taylor Lorenz is a journalist and opinion columnist who covers a wide range of the current tech and online culture. Starting out as a blogger, then hopping onto mainstream media like The Washington Post or The New York Times, she is now back as a freelance journalist yet again, offering her expertise with her independent User Mag publication and her Power User podcast. The interview starts at minute 40:06 into the podcast.

Complex problems often assume complex solutions, but recent observations about increased levels of anxiety and depression, increased reports of loneliness, and lower rates of in-person friendships for teens and children in America today have led some school districts across the country to take direct and simple action: Take away the access to smartphones in schools.Not everyone is convinced. When social psychologist and author Jonathan Haidt proposed five solutions to what he called an "epidemic of mental illness" for young adults in America, many balked at the simplicity. Writing for the outlet Platformer, reporter Zoe Schiffer spoke with multiple behavioral psychologists who alleged that Haidt's book cherry-picks survey data, ignores mental health crises amongst adults, and over-simplifies a complex problem with a blunt solution. And in speaking on the podcast Power User, educator Brandon Cardet-Hernandez argued that phone bans in schools would harm the students that need phones the most for things like translation services and coordinating rides back home from parents with varying schedules. But Haidt isn't alone in thinking that smartphones have done serious harm to teenagers and kids today, and many schools across America are taking up the mantle to at least remove their access in their own hallways. In February, Los Angeles Unified School District did just that, and a board member for the school district told the Lock and Code podcast that he believes the change has been for the better. But for those still in doubt, there's a good reason now to look back. Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we revisit a 2024 interview with Dr. Jean Twenge about her research into the differences in America between today's teens and the many generations that came before. A psychologist and published author, Twenge believes she has found enough data tying increased smartphone use and social media engagement with higher strains on mental health. In today's re-broadcast episode, Twenge explains where she believes there is a mental health crisis amongst today's teens, where it is unique to their generation, and whether it can all be traced to smartphones and social media. According to Dr. Twenge, the answer to all those questions is, pretty much, “Yes.” But, she said, there's still some hope to be found.“This is where the argument around smartphones and social media being behind the adolescent mental health crisis actually has, kind of paradoxically, some optimism to it. Because if that's the cause, that means we can do something about it.”Tune in today to listen to the full conversation.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide...

The remarkable dissonance between the public's embrace of UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione and the mainstream media's outward disdain for both Luigi and the public's martyrization of him has been… bizarre. In a rare moment where the culture war has been traded in for the class war, billionaire-owned media corporations and politicians alike seem to be panicking.
