With the heartbreaking news of Scott Adams terminal illness, we thought we'd take a page out of his book & reframe this development. We've been given the gift to celebrate this wonderful man while he's still with us. RPA is working on telling the story of his life, but in the meantime, we're rebroadcasting our episode featuring Scott Adams. Has science fiction brought us closer to God?

We also speak to Jet Propulsion Lab scientist Dr. Rich Terrile about The Simulation Hypothesis…a concept that is breaking the barrier between science and religion.Support the show: https://redpilledamerica.com/support/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This integration enhances customer experience and provides a more streamlined workflow. AI-Driven Customer Service & Account Management David shares how agencies can use HubSpot's Service Hub combined with AI to enhance client experience and improve account management. With features like unified inboxes, AI assistance, and ticket management, agencies can respond to customer needs faster, more efficiently, and with less room for human error. The Importance of Continuous Data Cleanup One of the challenges discussed in the episode is the need for continuous data auditing and cleanup. David explains how agencies can use automation tools like robotic process automation (RPA) to streamline this process and ensure that data remains clean, even as it flows across multiple systems. The Future of AI in Insurance The conversation wraps up with a discussion on where the future of AI is headed in the insurance industry. From sentiment analysis in customer interactions to improved data management, David LeFevre emphasizes that AI's potential is vast, but agencies must first ensure they have the right infrastructure and clean data in place to fully capitalize on it.

Donald Trump niemal zerwał stosunki z RPA, oskarżając jego władze o kradzież ziemi białych farmerów oraz zakrojone na szeroką skalę zbrodnie przeciw nim. Co jednak mówią statystyki i co tak naprawdę zagraża tamtejszej białej ludności, a o czym amerykański prezydent jednak nie wspomina?

Today, I'm talking with Daniel Dines, the co-founder and once again the CEO of UiPath, a software company that specializes in something called robotic process automation. We've been featuring a lot of what I like to call full-circle Decoder guests on the show lately, and Daniel is a perfect example. He was first on the show in 2022, and UiPath has had a lot of changes since then, including a short stint with a different CEO. Daniel is now back at the helm, and the timing is important: the company needs to shift, fast, to a world of agentic AI, which is radically changing the RPA business. We got into all that and more in this episode. It's a fun one.  Links:  UiPath's Daniel Dines thinks automation can fight the great resignation | Decoder Daniel Dines: Why Agents Do Not Mean RPA is Fucked | Harry Stebbings UiPath to re-appoint Daniel Dines as CEO | UiPath UiPath shares tank 30% after company announces CEO shakeup | CNBC UiPath to lay off 10% of workforce in companywide restructuring | CNBC UiPath looks for a path to growth with Peak agentic AI acquisition | TechCrunch How RPA vendors aim to remain relevant in a world of AI agents | TechCrunch  UiPath finds firmer footing with pivot to general automation, AI | TechCrunch Transcript: https://www.theverge.com/e/643562 Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

PLANUL PENTRU 2025 - CRISTIAN ONETIU #IGDLCC[00:00:00] George Buhnici: Elon Musk. Eu zic Elon Musk, tu spui?[00:00:02] Cristian Onetiu: Da eu zic Peter Thiel. Există cineva [00:00:05]mai șmecher decât Elon Musk acolo? Peter Thiel, clar. De ce? a fost? Păi întotdeauna a fost și [00:00:10] angajatorul lui principal și finanțatorul lui principal. Cum? După ce am trăit suficient de mulți ani în pace, ne [00:00:15]imaginăm că dacă vine un lider mesianic ăla nu va fi dictator.[00:00:18] Așa au zis și în [00:00:20] 40-i când au venit Partidul Muncitoresc și care a zis că le dă pământ oamenilor și [00:00:25] le-a dat pământ după care le-a luat. America tinde să aibă un comportament la [00:00:30] fel ca al rușilor și ca al chinezilor, adică semnează acte dar nu se tinde ele. Și atunci ne [00:00:35]decidem dacă e imigrant sau nu în America sau în Rusia?[00:00:37] Și atunci, acum când vedem că toți dau în [00:00:40] Europa... Cred că fiecare român trebuie să-și ia o decizie identitară. Sunt european sau [00:00:45] sunt rus sau sunt ce-o fi. Te îngrozești să mai ieși și spui, haideți la vot. [00:00:50] Că nu știi cine vine. De fapt tu nu știi ce-i acolo.[00:00:53] George Buhnici: Ăștia care se uită la noi trebuie să meargă la [00:00:55] vot.[00:00:55] Cristian Onetiu: Da, ăștia da. Dacă acest maga, dacă [00:01:00]suveranismul american reușește, crezi că următorul parlament de la noi va fi suveranist? [00:01:05] Dacă o face grozavă da. Dar mă îndoiesc că pot să o facă.[00:01:08] George Buhnici: Martie 2025, Cristian [00:01:10] Nețiu a spus așa că Trump nu o să reușească.[00:01:12] Cristian Onetiu: Singurul lucru pe care văd să-l reușească este să [00:01:15] facă o dinastie din familia lui.[00:01:17] George Buhnici: Nu m-ai deprimat niciodată așa de mult [00:01:20]astăzi. Jur.[00:01:21] Cristian Onetiu: Da, dar nu avem istoric baza discuției. [00:01:25][00:01:25] George Buhnici: Salutare tuturor și bine v-am regăsit la ICDLCC, informații gratis despre lucruri care costă, cu Cristian [00:01:30] Nețiu, cu care nu ne-am văzut nici la sfârșitul lui 2024, nici la începutul lui 2025, dintr-un motiv foarte [00:01:35] simplu.[00:01:36] E atât de multă incertitudine încât mi-a fost teamă să [00:01:40] mă duc la oracol și să frec globul de cristal pentru că nu știu ce ai fi putut să-mi spui [00:01:45] până acum, sincer. Pare că suntem așa într-un hiatus, suntem cumva în [00:01:50] purgatoriu. Așteptăm să vină sfârșitul luna mai să scăpăm o dată de politică și să ne reapucăm poate de [00:01:55] treabă.[00:01:55] Așa că ne revedem astăzi să vedem ce facem cu banii în 2025, dacă [00:02:00] ne luăm un job, dacă ne mai facem business sau nu, pentru că din câte aud, românii sunt [00:02:05] atât de neîncrezători încât nu-și mai au casă, stau în chirii, țin de job-urile pe care le-au, [00:02:10] concedierii se fac, dar se fac pe șustache, nu prea se vorbește.[00:02:13] Către America nu prea [00:02:15] mai poți să fugi că ne amenință ăștia de la ambasadă că să nu te duci pe nașpa. Avea mai multe [00:02:20]provocări Mai multe provocări decât oportunități În 2025? Sau vezi [00:02:25]ceva care chiar merită să te arunci și să te [00:02:30] duci, gata, mă duc și fac bani acum?[00:02:32] Cristian Onetiu: Am venit pregătit, am pregătit vreo 10 [00:02:35]tipuri de modele de business pe care poți să le faci exact în [00:02:40] situațiile astea foarte tricky, așa cum le [00:02:45] descriai tu.[00:02:47] Dar ca să începem așa pe [00:02:50] ce ai spus tu mai devreme, cuvântul ăsta așteptăm. Este cel mai [00:02:55] rău în perioada asta. Toată lumea așteaptă. Nu toată lumea [00:03:00] Tu ai stat de pămană o să ne povestești ce ai făcut. Să împărțim pe leere populația, că [00:03:05] nici America nu este America lui Trump, nici România nu este România lui [00:03:10] Iohannis, așa cum și audiența ta este o audiență [00:03:15] dintr-o categorie care are niște particularități.[00:03:18] Și cred că ei au [00:03:20] puterea și să miște, au și puterea de a vedea oportunități, au și puterea de a [00:03:25] își găsi informațiile corecte pentru a găsi mai aproape a fi mai [00:03:30] aproape de adevăr. Și cred că ei sunt și schimbarea. [00:03:35] Pentru că dacă vorbim despre marea masă a României, atunci n-ar rău să discutăm [00:03:40] despre nimic rațional sau oportunistic în [00:03:45] sensul bun.[00:03:46] Însă noi suntem aici să vorbim unei Categorii [00:03:50] de oameni ușor diferiți și nu zic asta cu[00:03:53] superioritate, ci[00:03:54] [00:03:55] cu segmentare. Se[00:03:57] George Buhnici: vede în analitice, oricât de mult mi-ar plăcea mie să [00:04:00] fiu urmărit de mai mulți oameni, genul de discuții pe care le avem aici și genul de [00:04:05] invitați selectează. Da. Și atunci oamenii care vor un pic de divertisment sunt în altă parte.[00:04:09] [00:04:10] Clar. Și sunt mult mai mulți. Și sunt mult mai mulți. Deci vorbim un pic de [00:04:15] oportunitate, suntem un pic oportuniști încercăm să facem mai mult decât să stăm să săpice, [00:04:20] parămălăiață sau să mergem nu știu, la opt ore. Adică chiar dacă ești într-un job [00:04:25] de opt ore, sunt convins că oamenii care se uită caută și altceva pe lângă mai au o idee, se [00:04:30] mai uită și la alte lucruri.[00:04:31] Asta e un cuvânt bun. A căuta față[00:04:33] Cristian Onetiu: de a aștepta, deja e o mare diferență. [00:04:35]Dacă oamenii încep să caute, știi că e și vorba aia istorică. Caută [00:04:40] și vei găsi, bate și ți se va deschide. Primul lucru pe care trebuie să-l faci pe Google, [00:04:45] primul lucru pe care trebuie să-l faci pe un CGPT, trebuie să cauți.[00:04:49] Diferența [00:04:50] între oamenii care caută și oamenii care așteaptă să-i se livreze o informație de-a gata [00:04:55] și pe care să o înghită și pe care să o accelereze în ei și să o sedimenteze și apoi [00:05:00] să mai intre și în algoritmul social media în care se spună a, s-a uitat tot [00:05:05] 15 secunde în loc de 3, deci îi place treaba asta, să-i dă mai mult, să înghită mai mult.[00:05:10][00:05:10] Asta e o diferență foarte mare între oamenii. Adică cei care așteaptă sunt unii. [00:05:15] Mai e o categorie mai joasă decât cei care așteaptă. E categoria care [00:05:20] nu doar așteaptă să vadă ce se întâmplă, ci așteaptă salvatorul. Și [00:05:25] America, cu MAGA și Trump a speculat chestia asta, se vede și în [00:05:30] Europa, se vede peste tot.[00:05:31] Rusia, China, practică deja modelul ăsta [00:05:35] Emiratele Arabe la fel au un model în care stăpânirea unui individ pentru [00:05:40] că ce se întâmplă acum este trecerea la încrederea sau așteptarea [00:05:45] unui sistem mesianic care să rezolve lucrurile cum era democrația către un [00:05:50]individ mesianic care să rezolve. Și toată atenția și toată puterea și [00:05:55]tot leverage-ul politic și Și puterea executivă să se ducă la un singur om, [00:06:00] care el este exponentul salvării acelui neam.[00:06:04] Asta e [00:06:05] marea problemă pe care îi paște și pe americanii.[00:06:07] George Buhnici: Este deja susținută [00:06:10] ideea de care spui tu, de studii care arată că mai ales noua generație își [00:06:15] dorește un astfel de lider mesianic și deja inclusiv Marea Britanie [00:06:20] tinerii spuneau că ei ar fi de acord să preia puterea cineva cu o autoritate eventual militară [00:06:25]și să facă ordine.[00:06:26] Adică după ce am trăit suficient de mulți ani în pace [00:06:30] ne imaginăm că dacă vine un lider mesianic ăla nu va fi dictator, ăla nu va face [00:06:35] așa Așa au zis și în[00:06:36] Cristian Onetiu: 40 când au venit Partidul Muncitoresc și care a [00:06:40] zis că le dă pământ oamenilor și le-a dat pământ după care le-a luat. Deci n-a fost decât câțiva [00:06:45] ani de zile în care s-au ținut de promisiune după care au schimbat tot, au luat înapoi tot și s-a transformat în [00:06:50] ceea ce știm 40 ceva de ani de comunism.[00:06:52] Nu există nicio [00:06:55] referință în istorie în care cineva care a acumulat toată puterea s-o fi gestionat [00:07:00] în favoarea oamenilor sau fără să... Cineva care n-a schimbat [00:07:05] regulile jocului fundamental după aceea și n-a oprimat populația Uite acum la[00:07:09] George Buhnici: Erdogan [00:07:10] zilele astea. Și-a arestat principalul oponent și vrea să schimbe din nou [00:07:15] legea ca să poate să mai candideze încă un mandat Săptâna trecută a fost o [00:07:20] știre pe exemplu că liderul curzilor din închisoare l-a spus curzilor să lase armele, că s-au [00:07:25] înțeles, s-a înțeles cu Erdogan ca să-l poată să aibă destule voturi ca să-și poată extinde mandatul și ăla.[00:07:30][00:07:30] L-ai pe Victor Orban lângă noi. Am fost zilele trecute în [00:07:35]nordul și nord-vestul Transilvaniei Bihor, [00:07:40] Satu Mare, Baia Mare, toți oamenii aia spun, zice, băi, la noi e bine. Când treci în Ungaria, ai [00:07:45]impresia că te-ai întors deja 10, 15 20 de ani. Băi ăsta-i mandatul lui Orban. [00:07:50] Și la fel în toate țările în care ai lideri în ăștia lider maxim.[00:07:54] [00:07:55] Întrebarea este, ce se întâmplă cu America? De ce fac americanii chestia asta? Ce crezi că o fac? Pentru că [00:08:00] oricine[00:08:00] Cristian Onetiu: vrea să fie liderul maxim. Iar după cum ne uităm la America acum, [00:08:05] care, again, nu este America lui Trump, este America câștigată de MAGA, care și [00:08:10] are probleme în interior, că n-a fost doar Trump acolo a fost MAGA, ăștia lucrează de 8 ani de zile pe [00:08:15]ideologia asta.[00:08:17] Mai sunt și... Liderii [00:08:20] companiilor mari de tehnologie care au venit și ei pe final și au zis veniți și noi cu [00:08:25] modul nostru de a conduce tehnologic. Mai era și [00:08:30] Trump care vrea să fie în față și să-și ia revanșa pentru ceilalți. Este și un mix. Ei au câștigat împreună fără [00:08:35]să aibă aceeași doctrină însă având aceleași interese.[00:08:38] Miliardari[00:08:39] George Buhnici: cu[00:08:39] Cristian Onetiu: [00:08:40] rednecks. N-ai mai văzut vreodată așa? Ce înseamnă asta? Și ei recunosc că este un [00:08:45] amestec total heterogen. Pentru că au avut aceeași miză. Și oamenii [00:08:50] sau prădătorii se adună pentru miză, dar după aceea se și ceartă între ei. Eu mă aștept să [00:08:55] fie destul de dură despărțirea dintre aceste trei categorii mari, care [00:09:00] unii sunt ideologi MAGA Originals, Trump care este [00:09:05] doar power-oriented și marile companii tehnologice care [00:09:10] au cu tot o altă perspectivă și care [00:09:15] prin Peter Thiel și prin Elon Musk și ceilalți vor să imprime o altă direcție.[00:09:19] Deci oricum [00:09:20] n-au o viziune comună dar au avut un obiectiv comun, să câștige puterea. Exact. S-a [00:09:25] întâmplat chestia asta, dar încă o dată asta nu e America toată. Este o parte [00:09:30] care a fost trasă de aceste trei diferite zone de [00:09:35] influență care au dus la rezultatul ăsta.[00:09:40][00:09:41] Se înțeleg între ei și urmașii lui Trump transformă America [00:09:45] într-o dinastie de 100 de ani, așa [00:09:50] cum încep să vorbească de pace și prosperitate, adică stați liniștiți la pământ că [00:09:55] noi conducem, înseamnă că liderul lumii libere [00:10:00] a murit Pentru că noi până acum ne uităm la America întotdeauna ca [00:10:05] liderul lumii libere.[00:10:06] Și înseamnă că Europa rămâne ultima zonă [00:10:10] discutabilă greoaie, ultra-reglementată [00:10:15] coruptă în anumite zone, care încă mai păstrează principiile democrației liberale. [00:10:20] Și cred că asta este miza noastră între această [00:10:25] politică globală dar multipolară de putere. [00:10:30] Adică China vede dintr-o perspectivă, Rusia vede dintr-o perspectivă.[00:10:33] Ăștia au [00:10:35] povestea lor. Putin o spune de mult, de 10 ani.[00:10:40] [00:10:45][00:10:49] Ne [00:10:50] orientăm către țara noastră să o conducem ca lumea și apoi să devenim liderii [00:10:55] globali, tehnologici și militari ca să putem să redevenim prin forță liderul [00:11:00] planetei. Chinezii mai spun din când în când niște lucruri, dar aici văd de treaba lor liniștit și [00:11:05] între timp cresc economic și financiar de rup și nu poți să-i ignori.[00:11:09] [00:11:10] Deci Iranul începe și el să găsească loc și oportunități și [00:11:15] Europa va fi hărțuită de toți, pentru că atunci când rămâi ultimul [00:11:20] standard al unei democrații fragile, toți vor da în tine. Mai [00:11:25]ales că au interes, adică Europa mai are încă multe colonii, adică mai au ce fura de [00:11:30] acolo. Fiecare din ăștia patru pe care i-am zis așteaptă de mult să mai ia niște [00:11:35] teritorii pe care ele aveau acolo și încă țin de un stat european.[00:11:38] Deci au Și [00:11:40] apropo cum am început? E ca la o crimă, știi Care e motivul Dar găsești motivul, [00:11:45] te apropii mai mult de adevăr. Și motivul e? Motivul este că fiecare vrea să devină o [00:11:50] super putere în felul ei Și Europa este o [00:11:55] doamnă bătrână obosită pe care[00:11:57] George Buhnici: toți... Bă, da, e, dar chiar e Europa [00:12:00]pentru că se leagă de discuția de la care am început, că nu ne-am dus aici.[00:12:04] Hai nu [00:12:05] anțăm bătrânii. Zicem că și noi suntem pasivi da? Da. Și România este Europa. Ne place sau nu să [00:12:10] acceptăm suntem de acum și noi de acolo. Și atunci e clar că jucăm și noi în filmul ăsta [00:12:15] în care părăm lenți pasivi prea puțin proactivi. Bă, dar stai [00:12:20] să-ți[00:12:20] Cristian Onetiu: spun că dacă reinterpretăm puțin treaba asta asta, o să ne dăm seama că a fi o doamnă [00:12:25] bătrână cu multă istorie și cu multe cicatrici astăzi reprezintă un mare [00:12:30] beneficiu.[00:12:31] Pentru că noi avem o mare imunitate la o grămadă de lucruri. Americanii n-au avut [00:12:35] război americanii n-au avut comunism, n-au avut titratură Noi avem o [00:12:40] mare imunitate în tot procesul ăsta, pentru că noi am fost acolo de curând Noi înseamnă asta. Noi știm. Ăia nu [00:12:45]știu. Generațiile lor nu se așteaptă Nici măcar nu poate să-și [00:12:50]imagineze ce poate să însemne un dictator.[00:12:52] Ei nu știu așa ceva, ei au învățat în niște [00:12:55] cărți, au citit, dar nu a fost niciodată despre ei. departe se întâmplă în alte țări, în alte [00:13:00]părți pe planetă. Niciodată niciodată. ce Nu la noi. Deci noi avem imunitate. Faptul că e o [00:13:05] doamnă bătrână e în sensul bun, pentru că bătrân înseamnă [00:13:10] și înțelept. Înseamnă că nu te prostesc unii atât de repede și faptul că avem atât multe [00:13:15] culori, țările astea care au specificul lor e și mai multă [00:13:20] imunitate Adică avem anticorpi [00:13:25] naționali specifici la anumite vrăjeli, pe care dacă le simțim în [00:13:30] Franța, noi le semnalăm din România.[00:13:31] Când alții le găsesc în România, le semnalază de [00:13:35] acolo. Avem o multitudine de anticorpi. Așa că o doamnă [00:13:40] bătrână și birocratică în această etapă n-am crezut că o spun [00:13:45] vreodată acum 10 ani de zile nu credeam, nici acum 5 ani de zile nu credeam că o să spun, că [00:13:50] prefer o doamnă înțeleaptă sau un domn înțelept cu anticorpi și cu [00:13:55] înțelepciune și cu istorie care să poată să ia decizii liniștite fără să fie [00:14:00] abrupte.[00:14:00] Aș fi crezut întotdeauna că a fi abrupt și a [00:14:05] schimba totul peste noapte Este singura soluție Când mă uit acum [00:14:10] către ce duce o schimbare abruptă, foarte mult mi-am nuanțat [00:14:15] perspectiva în ultima[00:14:16] George Buhnici: perioadă. Deci dacă am învățat ceva în ultimii ani, asta e. Apropo de [00:14:20] varietate. Am fost anul trecut prin Germania și știi că așa, stai pădurile într-o veselie.[00:14:25][00:14:25] Știi de ce nu? Că au insecte asta, au gândac care le intră pe [00:14:30] sub scoarță, intră în trunchi și începe să hrănească din seva [00:14:35] copacului. Și până ajunse să-ți seama e prea târziu și nu există tratament. [00:14:40] Și și-au dat seama de o chestie nemții că de fapt nu-i de vină gândacul, ci ei au fost de vină, [00:14:45] pentru că au plantat păduri numai de brad, fără să facă suficiente varietate.[00:14:50][00:14:50] Cristian Onetiu: Asta e frumusețea Europei diversitatea asta și [00:14:55] faptul că dacă începem să comunicăm și dacă începem să lucrăm ca o Europa și cred că asta e cea mai mare [00:15:00] oportunitate de până acum ca Europa să opereze ca Europa.[00:15:03] George Buhnici: Cea[00:15:03] Cristian Onetiu: mai mare de până acum. Dar [00:15:05] ce[00:15:05] George Buhnici: ar putea să fie Europa asta? Că noi ne agățăm de ideea asta de democrație, [00:15:10] dar știm că fără capitalism nu suntem un jucător suficient,[00:15:14] Cristian Onetiu: [00:15:15] suficient de competitiv.[00:15:16] Da, suntem încă cei mai sărași de la masă. [00:15:20] Deci e clar că avem de adăugat valoare în România ca să putem să ne creștem [00:15:25]puterea valoarea adăugată în Europa, contribuția pe care o aducem dar faptul [00:15:30] că noi putem învăța de lângă ei și putem să stăm la masă cu ei, să [00:15:35] ne spunem tot mai tare opinia, să ne șeruim aceștia [00:15:40]anticorpii ai noștri sau această înțelepciune și inteligență locală care s-ar putea să aibă [00:15:45] valoare și pentru ei, ăsta e deja un prim mare pas.[00:15:50][00:15:50] Suntem acolo și cred că ne agățăm de democrația [00:15:55] liberală pentru că știm cum a fost în istoria recentă altfel. [00:16:00] N-avem altă variantă adică orice am încercat, nu știm o altă variantă mai [00:16:05]meritocratică decât asta, că și meritocrația asta e foarte debatable. [00:16:10]Deci n-avem altă variantă decât să stăm împreună.[00:16:13] Și acum când vedem că [00:16:15] toți dau în Europa, cred că fiecare român trebuie să-și ia o decizie identitară. Sunt [00:16:20] european sau sunt rus sau sunt ce-o fi. Trebuie să iau o decizie la nivel mai [00:16:25] mare decât sunt din regiunea Banat, Muntenea sau nu știu care, sunt [00:16:30] în țara asta. În ce regiune mai mare joci? Pentru că singur nu mai poți să faci față.[00:16:35][00:16:35] Singur te păcălești toți. Trag de tine toți. [00:16:40][00:16:40] George Buhnici: Și atunci ne decidem dacă emigrăm sau nu în America sau în Rusia? În Dubai? Păi [00:16:45] te-ai renunțat la Dubai, nu? Da, am avut 3 ani de zile planificați am stat 2 ani și 8 [00:16:50] luni. Deci după aproape 3 ani de Dubai te-ai întors aici, nu [00:16:55] te-ai uitat nici spre America, deși este pentru business teoretic cel mai bun loc de pe planetă nu?[00:16:59] Cristian Onetiu: [00:17:00] Da.[00:17:01] George Buhnici: Și totuși e[00:17:01] Cristian Onetiu: aici. Pentru că acolo nu am certitudinea [00:17:05]siguranței personale și a familiei. Mi-e destul de... [00:17:10] Am fost de patru ori în America. De fiecare dată am trăit lucruri pe care nu le-am trăit niciunde [00:17:15] în lume. Apropo de violență, apropo de... [00:17:20] apropo de puterea organelor de ordine atât de brutale. [00:17:25] Mi-e greu să trăiesc acolo.[00:17:28] La fel cum mi greu să [00:17:30] trăiesc și într-o țară te-a grăsat poliția? Dar într-o formă de asta în care n-a [00:17:35] ajuns să mă pună culcat pe jos. Dar mi s-a tăiat orice [00:17:40] formă de când am intrat în țară când treci acolo și când îți dai seama că ai [00:17:45] călcat o linie și ăla vine și urlă la tine la 30 centimetri și [00:17:50] după aceea te împinge într-o zonă și după aceea te pune să ții [00:17:55] mâinile la spate că ești periculos că ai călcat pe o pe o dungă [00:18:00] galbenă și când ieși afară din parcare și când te duci cu mașina și [00:18:05] te oprește primul polițist cu un ton de parcă ai omorât pe cineva [00:18:10] fără să ai făcut nimic și fără să înțelegi care sunt drepturile și cum să gestionezi [00:18:15] relația respectivă e o altă lume, pentru noi europenii e o altă lume, cel puțin pentru [00:18:20] mine sigur că are și o grămadă de lucruri foarte mișto, dar vezi peste tot trebuie să-ți alegi pachetul, [00:18:25] apropo de pachet dacă te hotărăști să fii european trebuie să iei pachetul ăsta [00:18:30] Da, avem niște reglementări care sunt idiote, care ar trebui să le schimbăm, ar trebui să [00:18:35] revizităm anumite lucruri care opresc inovația, dar ar trebui să avem și noi [00:18:40] puterea noastră militară pentru că este ciudat.[00:18:42] Noi suntem 550 de [00:18:45] milioane de oameni care urlăm la 300 de milioane de oameni să ne apere de 150 [00:18:50] de milioane care nu pot să-i bată pe 30 de milioane sau 50 de milioane cât să-ți spune Acum le-ai prea frazat pe [00:18:55] Donald Tusk care a zis foarte bine. Așa e. Da, așa e. Așa e. Acum mai e [00:19:00] totuși o nuanță în toată chestia asta.[00:19:02] Când noi [00:19:05] ne ducem la ăștia pentru că au puterea militară nucleară pentru că ne-au prostit să nu o facem pe noastră [00:19:10] ca să ne apere de ăștia din dreapta care au un milion jumate de militari [00:19:15] și care nu se bat cu 50 de milioane ci se bat cu toată restul lumii care [00:19:20] le-au dat toate armele. Deci în toată discuția asta aveți aceeași [00:19:25] știre, aceeași poveste spusă din două perspective, o dată frumos, cealaltă pe [00:19:30] cifre.[00:19:30] Când unul are 70% din puterea nucleară și celălalt are un [00:19:35]milion jumate de infanterici de militari, păi nu-i de joacă. [00:19:40] Și noi nu avem nimic în toate chestiile astea. Avem un pic prin Franța, avem un pic prin... [00:19:45] Nu ai[00:19:45] George Buhnici: senzația asta că ne luptăm cu barbarii? [00:19:50]Pentru că noi în Europa am cam depășit faza asta cu războaie la graniță.[00:19:53] Da. [00:19:55] Adică nu ne mai împărțim. Am înțeles o chestie În Europa, noi am înțeles, toate [00:20:00] țările ca să intre în Europeană, au tratate în alea de bună vecinătate, nu mai am niciun fel de pretenții [00:20:05]teritoriale asupra nimănui. Da, da, noi încă mai credem în tratate. Asta a[00:20:07] Cristian Onetiu: fost problema mea Păi da[00:20:08] George Buhnici: în Europa[00:20:09] Cristian Onetiu: nu avem [00:20:10] războaie la graniță.[00:20:11] Problema mea în Emirate, ca să-ți doar așa o mică paranteză, a fost că eu am [00:20:15] crezut că sunt regulă din Europa. Am discutat cu [00:20:20]fonduri de investiții care au semnat binding term sheets pentru [00:20:25]investiții care s-au răzgândit fără niciun fel de motiv și fără să aibă niciun fel de [00:20:30] responsabilitate. Și noi am zis...[00:20:31] Așa ceva nu se poate, nu e normal, adică [00:20:35] voi ziceți că operați după regulile vestice, dar voi de fapt aveți regulile voastre pe care și nici [00:20:40] măcar nu dați nicio explicație, pur și simplu nu aveți chef. Sau mai rău ați intrat în business [00:20:45] și acum nu vreți să ieșiți dar n-ați pus contribuția voastră și când vine capital call-ul [00:20:50] voi ziceți că mai ne mai gândim.[00:20:51] Dar nu ieșiți din companie și începeți să cereți [00:20:55] beneficiile pe care compania asta le-ar avea. Deci America [00:21:00] tinde să aibă un comportament la fel ca al rușilor și ca al chinezilor, adică [00:21:05] semnează acte dar nu se ținde ele. Aduți aminte ce ușor a semnat Putin cu [00:21:10]Obama. Nu mai facem stai că nu mai... S-a dus și a intrat în...[00:21:14] a încălcat. [00:21:15] America a semnat cu anumite zone, se retrage. China a semnat o grămadă de [00:21:20] documente De ce înseamnă poluare, nu s-a ținut de ele. Marile puteri [00:21:25] nu joacă după bunul simț democratic, vestic, al Europei. Și [00:21:30] noi trebuie să ne revenim din ideea asta că ei joacă după reguli.[00:21:33] George Buhnici: Ei nu joacă după [00:21:35] reguli.[00:21:35] Revenim la IGDLCC în dată ce-ți spun despre sponsorul nostru, Darkom Energy, [00:21:40] cei care ne garantează că nu ni se sting luminile din studio. Adică nu avem [00:21:45] niciodată pene de curent. Panourile fotovoltaice, invertoarele și bateriile sunt [00:21:50] inima sistemului nostru energetic și cred cu tărie că sunt investiții importante, dar [00:21:55] și rentabile.[00:21:56] Cu acest sistem am economisit deja mii de euro la facturi, dar [00:22:00] și mai important avem electricitatea garantată fără fluctuații care ne pot defecta [00:22:05] electricele și electronicele. Dacă ai în plan să construiești, să renovezi [00:22:10] orice fel de clădire, inclusiv industrială alege o soluție solidă de [00:22:15] generare și stocare de energie Noi colaborăm cu echipa Adarcom Energy și îi [00:22:20] recomandăm.[00:22:20] I-am auzit pe europeni siderați, șocați, că după ce au lansat comenzi de [00:22:25] F-35, au aflat că... Dar a zis-o cu gura lui Trump zilele trecute. Zice, o să le vindem [00:22:30] aliaților noștri niște arme toned down, că poate mai încolo le vine [00:22:35] o idee să ne atace cu ele.[00:22:37] Cristian Onetiu: Păi[00:22:37] George Buhnici: gândește[00:22:38] Cristian Onetiu: că noi nu avem acces la [00:22:40] Nvidia, la procesoare.[00:22:41] Adică prea avem acces. Adică [00:22:45] cantitatea pe care el a comandat-o și a zis mie să-mi dai primul că eu vreau să fiu cea mai mare putere [00:22:50] de procesare de date și AIU-ul meu vreau să domine tot și vreau să fiu cel [00:22:55] mai bun în tehnologie. Noi nu prea mai avem acces la [00:23:00] procesatoare. Hai să zicem că găsim putere de procesare, dar nici acolo nu suntem foarte bine.[00:23:05][00:23:06] E tot un război și ăsta și e pe față [00:23:10] Și într-un fel să știi că mie îmi place că e pe față acum. Cumva cred că ar trebui să ne [00:23:15]trezim dintr-un vis frumos în care toți ăștia sunt [00:23:20] așa de corecți și de etici și numai noi, europenii eram ăia care nu ne [00:23:25] țineam de treabă și nu țineam. Nu e chiar așa. Ne trezim la realitate și ceea ce până acum părea.[00:23:30][00:23:30] Era implicit, adică nu se putea spune, deodată devine explicit. Uită-te și [00:23:35] la gender equality, apropo de zona asta socială. Era implicit [00:23:40] diferența asta între femei și bărbați. Adică și dacă o spuneai cineva zicea, hai mă că nu-i [00:23:45] chiar așa. Acum când îl vezi pe Conor McGregor la [00:23:50] Trump în birou și pe Andrew Tate favorizat și adus în țară ca [00:23:55] să facă treabă și pe Elon Musk și pe Trump în sine cu [00:24:00] toate lucrurile astea este explicit.[00:24:02] Că ei vor să facă din [00:24:05] nou patriarhat global. Este explicit. Dar asta e foarte bine [00:24:10] pentru că bărbații care până acum li se părea că e o conspirație [00:24:15] altora unii și altora, acum se retrag și ei și zic, bă știi ce, ar trebui să fim mai moderați. [00:24:20] Adică înțelegem că treaba asta e reală. Se vede că [00:24:25] gender gap și gender equality nu e o vrăjeală.[00:24:28] Sunt niște oameni [00:24:30] care o împing cu agenda, o împing cu intenție, ea nu [00:24:35] mai la subteran, a ieșit afară. Și văd din ce în ce mai mulți bărbați [00:24:40] care încep să vorbească despre lucrurile astea, despre cum putem să [00:24:45] devenim sau să contra Să creăm [00:24:50] contexte care femeile și bărbații să lucreze bine împreună pentru că știm că ăsta e viitorul, pentru că știm că [00:24:55] ăsta este singura metodă prin care noi vom crea valoare mai multă.[00:24:58] Unul plus unul va crea [00:25:00] trei.[00:25:01] George Buhnici: În toate țările unde ai femei în poziții de management și de conducere, [00:25:05] crește prosperitatea. Da, uite, sunt doar 15% la nivel de leadership[00:25:09] Cristian Onetiu: [00:25:10] position.[00:25:11] George Buhnici: Iar în[00:25:11] Cristian Onetiu: România, hai să fim serioși. Să știi că în România nu [00:25:15] suntem chiar așa de rău la nivel de antreprenori. Studiile pe care le știu eu la nivel de antreprenoare și antreprenori [00:25:20] suntem pe primul loc la nivel de număr de antreprenoare față de [00:25:25] europeni.[00:25:26] Față de europeni? Da, și au făcut multe firme. [00:25:30] Probabil că sunt și multe firme liberale, poate sunt neapărat companii cu angajați, că nu am statistică atât în [00:25:35] profunzime de câți angajați au, dar nu stăm rău, să [00:25:40] știi, pare că România e în zona de [00:25:45] gender gap undeva pe la mijlocul Europei. Grecia fiind în partea de jos, Germania fiind sub noi, [00:25:50] chiar dacă sunt mult mai educați, adică dacă te uiți pe rapoartele de gender gap și gender equality, [00:25:55] vei vedea că nu stăm chiar așa de rău.[00:25:56] Ar trebui să începem să găsim mai multe lucruri bune pe care le [00:26:00] avem deja. Încep să fie obositoare toate [00:26:05] topurile în care suntem numai praf. Suntem în topuri și în zona bună. Și dacă [00:26:10] nu putem fi, putem alege să fim într-o anumită zonă și să nu mai vedem numai partea [00:26:15] negativă. Suntem ultimii pe treaba aia Ok, hai să stabilim dacă e o prioritate cu toții și să ne [00:26:20] apucăm de ea.[00:26:20] Pentru că dacă tot așteptăm ca alții să ne-o facă, nu o să ne-o facă. [00:26:25] Noi am avut noroc până acum în democrația noastră de lideri hoți și proști. [00:26:30] Dar n-am avut norocul nostru că n-am avut și un megaloman. [00:26:35] Au încercat.[00:26:35] George Buhnici: Păi am avut un Dragnea. Am avut un Ponta. [00:26:40] Băsescu s-a retras democratic. Iohannis a fost aruncat sub autobuz.[00:26:45][00:26:45] S-a aruncat singur în avion și după ce[00:26:48] Cristian Onetiu: ani nu l-am mai văzut. 23 [00:26:50] de milioane? 25 de milioane de dolari? Până pe avioane? Ne luam niște avioane bune. [00:26:55] Deci într-un fel... Tot ce spunem acum că e rău, putea fi mult mai rău. Și știu că [00:27:00] nu e o variantă bună să spunem că, băi ăsta, să ne mulțumim că [00:27:05] se putea mai rău, știu.[00:27:06] Băi imaginează[00:27:06] George Buhnici: 20 de ani cu Iliescu sau cu Băse [00:27:10] sau cu Constantinescu sau cu oricare. Băi, e bine. Există o teorie a lui Taleb care [00:27:15] spune că pur și simplu simplul fapt că poți să schimbi îți aduce mai bine. Da. [00:27:20] Opționalitatea, faptul că poți să alegi simplul fapt că poți să alegi nu contează că alegi [00:27:25] întotdeauna vei alege răul cel mai mic și când alegi răul cel mai mic, măcar ai ce să alegi Da.[00:27:29] Nu rămâi [00:27:30] înțepenit într-o singură opțiune cu care trebuie să te duci. Sunt [00:27:35] foarte multe țări pe planetă, prea multe deja, care nu au văzut alți lideri. [00:27:40] Da. Bine și la noi sunt două opțiuni.[00:27:44] Cristian Onetiu: Și [00:27:45] când ai trei opțiuni trebuie să ai un pic de critical thinking, [00:27:50] să știi, să gândești. Și când te uiți în zona de [00:27:55] alegeri și vezi că prezența mai mare la vot de fapt nu aduce oamenii [00:28:00] liniștiți educați, care știai că te gândeai că stau acasă liniștiți și nu votează, ci aduc [00:28:05] alte pături sociale, te îngrozești să mai și spui haideți la vot.[00:28:09] [00:28:10] Că nu știi cine vine, de fapt tu nu știi ce-i acolo. Ăștia care se[00:28:13] George Buhnici: uită la noi trebuie să meargă la vot. Da, [00:28:15]ăștia da. Și ceilalți trebuie ajutat să înțeleagă să facă diferența.[00:28:19] Cristian Onetiu: Da. [00:28:20][00:28:20] George Buhnici: Da, pentru că fiecare trebuie la votul lui și votul meu e egal cu votul lui Nea Vasile.[00:28:24] Cristian Onetiu: Da. [00:28:25][00:28:25] George Buhnici: Asta e democrația până[00:28:25] Cristian Onetiu: la urmă. Eu m-am implicat în ultimele săptămâni luni [00:28:30] să construiesc un gimmick, un deck.[00:28:33] Curiozitate prin care [00:28:35] să-i ajut pe oameni să gândească critic, să aibă mai multe perspective [00:28:40] deodată. E o platformă în care sunt puse știri [00:28:45] crude, cât crude se poate ca să nu intrăm în subiectul ăsta, adică nu la [00:28:50] mâna a treia, a patra, interpretate deja cu un ton ovoi, ci mai aproape de [00:28:55] sursele de știri simple.[00:28:57] S-a întâmplat asta, asta s-a întâlnit cu ăla, asta s-a întâlnit, [00:29:00]asta s-a întâmplat Cum îi zice? Cetățean.ro încă nu e, urmează să fie, [00:29:05]dar îți arăt cum funcționează, adică iei o știre de acolo care e crudă, de la Reuters, de la [00:29:10] Jetpress, din zone care, să zicem că sunt mai mult știri, știu, toate au bias-ul [00:29:15] lor, știu, toate au, dar te duci un pic mai aproape de unele mai curate mai clean.[00:29:19] [00:29:20] Ok. Să-ți gândești tu pe ce se întâmplă pe fapte. [00:29:25] Și poți să-ți setezi niște profile. De comentatori [00:29:30] care preiau prin AI tone-of-voice-ul unor comentatori cunoscuți și [00:29:35] care sunt unii mai progresiști, unii mai conservatori, unii mai moderați, unii mai activiști, unii mai [00:29:40] pasivi social și așa mai departe. Îi vezi pe o matrice de nouă [00:29:45] pătrățele și începi să faci pe aceeași tire interpretări diferite de la [00:29:50] unul mai progresist unul mai conservator, unul mai naționalist, unul mai așași pentru că îi [00:29:55] identifici și poți să-ți și numești ca nume acolo ca să îi ai ca referință și [00:30:00] AI-ul ia din tone-of-voice-ul lor și din interpretările acelui profil și îți [00:30:05] arată cum poți să vezi în cinci feluri diferite aceeași tire.[00:30:08] Ca să nu mai cazi pradă [00:30:10] algoritmului care dacă te-a uitat cumva la două știri de un anumit fel să creadă că îți place [00:30:15] și să te ține acolo trei săptămâni de să nu mai știi de capul tău să ți se îngusteze lumea.[00:30:19] George Buhnici: [00:30:20] Cum a făcut Nenea la Agigea, să nu știu unde s-a urcat pe pod de dimineață că el vrea [00:30:25] neapărat turul doi înapoi[00:30:26] Cristian Onetiu: Da.[00:30:26] Și[00:30:27] George Buhnici: l-au luat și l-au luat la spital să-l caute un pic și la căpuț, pentru că ăla [00:30:30] probabil a văzut pe TikTok atât de multe chestii despre că trebuie să ieșim în stradă [00:30:35] că el a ratat faptul că s-a închis, gata, dacă vrei să[00:30:38] Cristian Onetiu: protestezi, s-a [00:30:40] dus. Când intri pe platformă, intri pur și simplu și îți faci un profil.[00:30:44] Îți faci un profil [00:30:45] care, uite, arată așa. Deci sunt 9 cadrane în care te încadrezi în funcție de răspunsuri Eu am făcut un test [00:30:50] aici. Păi și îmi faci bulă cu AI cu chestia asta? Nu-ți fac bulă, din potrivă. Eu ți-arăt... Mă scoți [00:30:55] din bulă? Te scoți din bulă. Tu ai o interpretare subiectivă a ta, răspunzi la 12 [00:31:00] întrebări și spui eu sunt cam așa așa mi-arată.[00:31:01] Ok, bun. După care începi să te uiți la [00:31:05] știri și când ai la știri, vezi o știre, da? Și când vezi o știre tu [00:31:10] o interpretezi. Nu știu, e una de astea, da? Și îți [00:31:15] redefinești niște comentatori cu AI. Aici sunt niște nume pe care le-am editat [00:31:20] eu în așa fel încât să-mi fie mai ușor să văd perspectiva lor. Am pus CTP, Cristoiu, [00:31:25] Tolontan, Călin Georgescu, mai sunt câțiva.[00:31:29] Și atunci... [00:31:30] Păi nu, că este în stilul lui. Eu îl editez. Eu nu-l dau [00:31:35] în platformă și atunci tu ți-l pui cum vrei. Dar îți dau niște referințe ca să poți să le înțelegi. Și tu dacă... că [00:31:40] și aici scrie dacă tu dai pe unul de ăsta, spune ăsta nu este el. Este un AI care [00:31:45]interpretează tonul voice-ul și profilul în care l-am încadrat pe acel individ.[00:31:47] O să țară ăștia în capăt să zică că le-ai furat [00:31:50] identitatea. Ai grijă. După care faci o generare Dacă intri gura lui CTP? [00:31:55] Păi nu, că eu mi-am editat Eu acolo sunt blank. Platforma nu-i numește. Tu ți-i editezi cum vrei tu. Tu le-ai dat nume. [00:32:00] Da. Eu îți dau o serie de personaje care seamănă de acolo și tu ți-o îndenumești cum vrei tu.[00:32:04] Am [00:32:05] înțeles. Da? Și asta-i generat de CTP, de Profilul ăsta pe care [00:32:10] l-am numit ăsta. Tu-ți selectezi de aici ce-ți place, zici bă, asta e interesantă. Și ți-o [00:32:15] păstrezi în... ți pui în partea de... Ți-ai salvat-o. [00:32:20] Te mai uiți și la altul, ți-ai salvat-o și după aceea îți pui o perspectivă personală în care [00:32:25] tu spui bă, părerea mea este asta, că așa văd eu lucrurile și îți generează un [00:32:30] răspuns în funcție de cum îl vrei, stil analitic, explicativ, pamfletar, [00:32:35] socratic, narrativ sau chiar și inversui, în care tu îți generezi un articol al [00:32:40] tău.[00:32:40] Îl editezi, îl lucrezi și după aceea ți-l publici Și fiecare articol pe [00:32:45] care îl publici este din nou procesat să-ți arate dacă e în cadranul tău sau tu pe [00:32:50] diferite puncte de vedere ai abordări diferite. Te cunoști mult mai bine când tu crezi despre tine [00:32:55] că ești, nu știu, progresist, moderat civic, dar tu vezi că în toate articolele [00:33:00] pe care tu le publici sau le salvezi, poți să nu le publici de fapt ești în altă parte sau ai [00:33:05]subiecte pe care nu ești deloc așa adică nu seamănă cu ce ești tu în mod [00:33:10] declarat Altfel spus, ești din bulă, ești din algoritm vezi perspective [00:33:15] diferite deodată în același timp și...[00:33:17] Încep să te cunoști mai bine pe tine, să vezi care [00:33:20] sunt subiectele, pentru că în realitate tu n-ai simțit vreodată că pare așa că suntem [00:33:25] schizofrenici, la unele suntem foarte conservatori, la unele suntem foarte progresiști, băi bine să ne vedem [00:33:30] istoric notițele noastre și articolele noastre unde suntem mai progresiști, unde suntem mai [00:33:35]conservatori, unde suntem mai naționaliști înflăcărați, trebuie să [00:33:40]începem să ne cunoaștem pe subiecte Și dacă noi nu începem să ne cunoaștem, nu avem cum să [00:33:45] vorbim altora mai asumat.[00:33:47] Și dacă noi nu începem să vorbim mai asumat, oamenii [00:33:50]care se uită la noi și ne întreabă cum o să fac eu, cu cine votez, [00:33:55] nu o să aibă argumentație. E un ghimic, e un test E un fel de anti-algoritm. [00:34:00] Să vezi unde te potrivești tu în algoritm și să ieși de acolo. Exact. Pe măsura ce tu [00:34:05] îți creezi conținut, tu te cunoști mai bine pe tine.[00:34:07] Nu algoritmul te cunoaște și tu nu știi [00:34:10] că el știe mai multe despre tine. Tu începi să știi mai multe despre tine pe[00:34:13] George Buhnici: subiecte. Acum o întrebare pentru [00:34:15] cei care ne urmăresc să hotărăscă ei dacă au timp chef, disponibilitate să facă așa [00:34:20] ceva. Vreți să faceți așa ceva? Vreți să aflați în ce parte a [00:34:25]bulei sunteți și să ieșiți din bulă?[00:34:26] Eu fac exercițiul ăsta de la începutul [00:34:30] carierei Până că mi-am dat seama făcând școala de jurnalistică [00:34:35] facultatea mi-a dat seama clar că unii o dau așa și unii o dau așa. Și nu există adevăr [00:34:40] obiectiv sute la sute. Există nuanță întotdeauna, orică timpul te limitează. [00:34:45] Cât timp ai să cercetezi, cât timp ai să comunici chestia aia, cât timp ai să procesezi.[00:34:49] Asta am [00:34:50] și făcut de fapt Ce[00:34:50] Cristian Onetiu: înseamnă AI până la urmă? Aici înseamnă pe scurt, înseamnă o [00:34:55] metodă mult mai rapidă de a căuta de mii ori mai multe informații și de [00:35:00] a-ți găsi o soluție la o problemă mult mai repede. Problema asta e AI-ul. Și, de fapt asta și vrem să [00:35:05] facem aici. Să-ți dureze la fel de mult să-ți creezi o proprie opinie, văzând mai multe perspective, [00:35:10] decât să citești o știre biasată de nu știu ce post astăzi de celălalt post astăzi sau după aceea [00:35:15] când te prinde algoritmul de aceleași surori care îți dau aceiași informații.[00:35:18] George Buhnici: Să-ți ia la fel de[00:35:19] Cristian Onetiu: [00:35:20] [00:35:25] [00:35:30] [00:35:35][00:35:40] [00:35:45] puțin timp. Da? [00:35:50] Bă, dacă îl citești pe ăsta, asistăm la un nou episod din telenovela balcanică intitulată nu știu ce, dacă îl pui [00:35:55] pe cel pe care l-am numit Cătălin Tolontan, e cu totul [00:36:00]altfel. Adică profilul ăsta, o să-ți spun imediat profilul ăsta cum e, ăsta [00:36:05] este profil încadrat foarte activ, [00:36:10] moderat folosești un ton sobru, factual, orientat spre detalii [00:36:15] concrete, citează cifre, date, statistici și așa mai departe.[00:36:18] Regruparea extremei drepte în [00:36:20] jurul, nu știu care prin o schimbare semnificativă, fiecare are perspectiva lui, te înveți, eu după ce m-am, [00:36:25] îți seama că testând, mă uit și zic doamne, eu nici măcar nu știam până acum să [00:36:30] pot să-mi dau seama de diferențele de interpretare a unei știri. Cu toate că... [00:36:35] Mă credeam capabil să fac asta.[00:36:37] George Buhnici: Nu eram antrenat. Singurul mod în care [00:36:40]poți să o faci manual, dacă vrei, nu așa cu AI, este să te uiți pe mai [00:36:45]multe canale de televiziune Și să vezi aceeași tire pe 5-6 canale diferite dacă mai [00:36:50] dă cineva aceeași tire Da, dar nu le găsești[00:36:52] Cristian Onetiu: același timp. Nu le vezi sincron. Deci [00:36:55]trebuie să-ți iei câteva ore pe zi ca să faci treaba asta.[00:36:57] Asta făceam[00:36:58] George Buhnici: în începutul anilor 2000. [00:37:00] Da. Că pe vremea aia nu aveam social media și efectiv stăteam și mă uitam [00:37:05] și la chinezi și la Al Jazeera, mă uitam și la BBC și la CNN și după aceea începeam să fac o idee. Așa e. [00:37:10] Dar este un efort și chestia asta până la urmă te poate face [00:37:15] mai greu de manipulat, mai sarcastic.[00:37:18] Nu, nu cred că [00:37:20] ajungi la sarcastic cred că[00:37:20] Cristian Onetiu: sarcastic ești mai... Mai[00:37:22] George Buhnici: sătul,[00:37:23] Cristian Onetiu: te saturi de toată [00:37:25] manipularea. Păi da, dar atunci ești[00:37:26] George Buhnici: devis sătul când nu înțelegi. Când înțelegi Când înțelegi, cred [00:37:30] ajung la un moment dat să ți se ia de toți ăștia. Păi nu da, observi[00:37:32] Cristian Onetiu: Că toată lumea[00:37:32] George Buhnici: minte.[00:37:33] Cristian Onetiu: Păi da, da, devii observator.[00:37:34] Devii [00:37:35] observator. Și asta e drept. Nu mai ești sarcastic nu mai devii sarcastic [00:37:40] victimă ci devii cinic față de lume, [00:37:45]observator. Tu zici, păi așa funcționează lumea când o înțelegi cum funcționează lumea, nu mai te superi, nu mai [00:37:50] ai așteptări de la ea.[00:37:51] George Buhnici: Trebuie să înțelegem lumea că de aia suntem aici.[00:37:53] Cristian Onetiu: Da.[00:37:54] George Buhnici: Și tu ai [00:37:55] capacitatea asta de a evalua, ai și o metodă de care mi-ai povestit de pe stel Aplicăm pe stelul, pe [00:38:00]situația actuală?[00:38:01] Cristian Onetiu: Da, pe scurt așa.[00:38:02] George Buhnici: Poate că ne-am lălăit-o noi un pic, dar cred că [00:38:05] aveți un pic mai mult context în legătură cu felul în care ne raportăm, inclusiv la America și la alte părți [00:38:10] ale lumii în momentul ăsta, dar și la Europa, și înțelegem că are mai multe bune decât [00:38:15] credem, că diversitatea ne face mai rezistenți ca în pădure, că dacă ai diversitate, dacă [00:38:20] bradul ăsta a fost atacat, gândacu' nu are cum să sară motorul brad dacă mai sunt niște [00:38:25] fagi, niște carpeni între ei, știi?[00:38:26] Și atunci dacă în România ai probleme și n-ai probleme în [00:38:30]Germania sau invers, poți să ajungi în cele din urmă ca lucrurile astea să se... Dacă începem să funcționăm ca organism,[00:38:34] Cristian Onetiu: [00:38:35] dacă nu funcționăm ca organism, nu transferăm informațiile ADN de [00:38:40] la unul la altul, nu ducem anticorpii, dar dacă începem să funcționăm ca organism Europa, [00:38:45] Atunci vom face[00:38:46] George Buhnici: acest transfer rapid.[00:38:47] Ani de zile am observat chestia asta, nici o televiziune de [00:38:50]la noi nu avea corespondenți la Bruxelles, nu știu dacă ai observat. Și dintr-o dată un [00:38:55] european și-a dat seama că are o problemă de comunicare și în ultimii doi ani a început să [00:39:00] aibă corespondenți acolo să transmită europarlamentarii să aducă din [00:39:05] țările lor oameni care să vadă cum se întâmplă procesul ăsta pentru că e destul de ușor să te uiți la [00:39:10] distanță Ai mă că ea sunt într-un turn de filde și acolo și fac chestii.[00:39:12] Bă, până la urmă noi am votat, am venit să fac niște chestii.[00:39:14] Cristian Onetiu: [00:39:15] Dar tu uite-te la știri. Câte știri sunt în care se vorbește despre ceva de la Bruxelles, comparativ cu ce s-a [00:39:20]întâmplat în America, în Rusia, în China sau altul de acolo? Zero. Zero, da Nici măcar nu știm [00:39:25] ce rol are Parlamentul Europei. Exact. Noi nu știm.[00:39:28] Noi ne uităm și spunem, ce faceți mă [00:39:30] acolo? Cum ați ajuns să aveți atâta Binecurație, uite ce salarii au! Da, deci nu știm. Nu știm [00:39:35] Nici măcar comparativ cu alte sisteme [00:39:40] centralizate ca așa noastre, ce salarii au aia comparativ Ce roluri au? Cât de [00:39:45] democratic[00:39:45] George Buhnici: funcționează asta față de altele Habar n-avem.[00:39:47] Până la urmă tot la federalizare vom ajunge, dacă vrem să [00:39:50]fim competitivi și trufea sau altul din Europeană trebuie să se comportă ca o federație.[00:39:54] Cristian Onetiu: [00:39:55] Iar antreprenorii și oamenii cu spirit antreprenorial trebuie să înțeleagă lumea repede, pentru că dacă [00:40:00] nu înțeleg, s-ar putea să construiască modele de business [00:40:05] strâmbe, inutile sau să nu înțeleagă [00:40:10] stakeholderii, fie că e vorba de consumatori, e vorba de stat și administrație [00:40:15] publică centralizată sau locală, furnizori.[00:40:18] Deci dacă ai un [00:40:20] business care vinde în toată lumea, trebuie să te gândești bine în noua economie ce să faci Dacă ai furnizori din [00:40:25] America trebuie să te gândești rapid ce să faci și trebuie să înțelegi lumea pentru că tu nu poți să aștepți [00:40:30] doar când îți vine un mail de la furnizorul tău în care spune că îți vinde cu 40% mai scump sau tu [00:40:35] îi vinzi cu 30% mai scump.[00:40:36] Trebuie să anticipezi lucrurile astea. Trebuie să cunoști lumea Și [00:40:40] doi cred că, acum dau spoiler din ce mi-am pregătit [00:40:45] aici, cred că vor fi o grămadă de oameni. Întreprenori de nevoie. [00:40:50] Nu de vocație sau de pasiune sau de viziune. [00:40:55] Antreprenori de nevoie. Pentru că își vor pierde relevanța job-urile lor în pozițiile pe care le au [00:41:00] acum.[00:41:00] Ajungem acolo.[00:41:02] George Buhnici: Câteva întrebări foarte directe și aplicate, ca să fim [00:41:05] și un pic concreți, că mulți oameni o zică vorbiți mult, dar da ține ceva. Bun. Dolari. [00:41:10] Ținem dolari asaltea sau nu? Aș recomanda nu. De ce? [00:41:15] Politic sau...?[00:41:16] Cristian Onetiu: Și, și. Și, și. De [00:41:20] ce dolarul este moneda internațională? Pentru că [00:41:25] stăpânul sau capul lumii libere era american.[00:41:28] Când capul lumii [00:41:30] libere nu mai e american, eu nu știu cine o să fie, ar fi bine să te gândești că nu mai va, [00:41:35] nu, nu, îi va fi greu să păstreze [00:41:40] puterea absolută pe care a avut-o. Plus că avem pe alții care au interese. Uite pe ăștia cu [00:41:45] BRICS-ul, uite pe alții care așteaptă la colți de mult. Adică și ei vor fi loviți de, [00:41:50] așa cum Europa e lovită în democrație și dolarul va fi, așteaptă la cotitură de prea mult timp alții să [00:41:55] vină cu concorența unui currency.[00:41:58] Deci vorbești de[00:41:58] George Buhnici: competiție, da? [00:42:00] Crezi într-un scenariu în care administrația americană va devaloriza dolarul ca să [00:42:05] lăcută la[00:42:05] Cristian Onetiu: export? Da, a început de mulți o să continue să facă treaba asta. Deci și prin [00:42:10] genul ăsta de măsuri, și prin măsurile care de fapt [00:42:15] erodează încrederea în capacitatea Americii de a mai vrea să fie [00:42:20] polițistul lumii și puternicul lumii.[00:42:24] [00:42:25] Ok, deci nu ținem dolari. Aș recomanda să [00:42:30] ne obișnuim cu... Ideea de [00:42:35] Wall Street, de a avea multe forme de asset-uri și [00:42:40] să ne uităm dimineața să vedem care a scăzut, care a crescut. Mai bine să ne obișnuim să [00:42:45] avem 10 currency-uri și 10 tipuri de asset-uri care au o anumită fluctuație [00:42:50] decât să stăm îngrijorați cu toate ouăle puse pe dolar și toată [00:42:55] dimineața să ne uităm, să vedem ce-a făcut ăia.[00:42:58] Dacă vrei să nu fii la mâna [00:43:00] altora, trebuie să ai diversificare. Diversificare înseamnă să ai și euro, [00:43:05] înseamnă să ai și currency-uri internaționale care circulă dar și [00:43:10] currency-uri netradiționale. Adică deja [00:43:15] poți în orice companie să-ți faci conturi de cripto, poți să operezi, adică de ce să nu [00:43:20] ai mai multă mai puțină expunere față de...[00:43:25][00:43:25] Degemonia unui dolar. Deci mai puțin dolar și mai mult euro. Mai mult [00:43:30] euro, mai mult... Chiar și cripto. Chiar și cripto da. Trebuie să ai stomac [00:43:35] de jucător pentru chestia asta. Adică trebuie să te uiți dimineața să nu te panichezi că a [00:43:40] scăzut 10%, că a făcut nu știu cine, nu știu ce. Adică trebuie să ai un pic de stomac.[00:43:44] [00:43:45] Dolarul nu va scădea 10% peste noapte, dar în 3 ani de zile va fi și [00:43:50] va avea și el niște spaicuri. Mă aștept să aibă niște spaicuri. Dar trebuie să fii jucător și trebuie să te înțelegi că [00:43:55] nu mai e lumea de mai demult când te culci cu 10 lei în buzunar și te treci tu cu [00:44:00] 10 lei și poți să cumpere acele lucruri cu 10 lei.[00:44:02] Adică noi ce vorbim aici vorbim din părerile [00:44:05] noastre personale. Nimic din ceea ce spun eu nu vreau să fie luat ca mai [00:44:10] mult altceva decât o opinie personală din ceea eu gândesc și ceea fac pentru business-urile mele. [00:44:15] Noi ne strângem informațiile din sursele noastre și ajungem la niște [00:44:20] concluzii.[00:44:20] George Buhnici: Am mai spus chestia asta, nu cheltui pe crypto decât banii pe care ești pregătit să-i [00:44:25] pierzi pentru că s-ar putea să-i pierzi.[00:44:26] Sunt șanse mai mari de zero să pierzi bani în [00:44:30] crypto, da? Da, în multe alte zone, chiar[00:44:32] Cristian Onetiu: și în piață de capital. [00:44:35] Dacă te duci acum și începi să pui bani în piață de capital și să cumperi acțiuni și să vinzi, come [00:44:40] on. Adică știi vorba, unii în bursă vin cu experiență unii vin cu bani, [00:44:45] aia care a venit cu experiență pleacă cu bani, aia care a venit cu bani pleacă cu experiență.[00:44:49] George Buhnici: Iar la [00:44:50] crypto, chestiile astea sunt și mai dure, pentru că am văzut inclusiv oameni din jurul lui Trump care [00:44:55] au făcut monede și tot felul de combinații de crypto. Pare un free-for-all, toată [00:45:00] lumea este, e foame de bani, băieții , e foame de bani așa e. E foame de bani dar pe [00:45:05] partea de crypto, cum o vezi în perioada asta?[00:45:07] Ți se pare că piața e sus, e jos? E [00:45:10] sub-evaluată e supraevaluată[00:45:11] Cristian Onetiu: Sub. De[00:45:12] George Buhnici: ce?[00:45:14] Cristian Onetiu: Pentru[00:45:14] George Buhnici: că[00:45:14] Cristian Onetiu: o [00:45:15] țin. Au mai fost perioade în istorie în care au ținut-o acolo până [00:45:20] când și-au făcut ITF-urile lor, până când au cumpărat la prețul la care au vrut ei.[00:45:23] George Buhnici: Am mai[00:45:24] Cristian Onetiu: spus chestia [00:45:25] asta. În continuare ea prin surprindere. Deci e atât de [00:45:30] avantgardist scripton cât i-a luat...[00:45:32] Bitcoin-ul [00:45:35] le-a luat înainte. Ei se gândeau la lucrurile astea, dar le-a luat-o înainte mult, abia s-au prins cu [00:45:40] el care-i treaba, dar sunt încă întârziați cu tot ce poate, crypto, [00:45:45] blockchain și tot ce înseamnă tehnologiile descentralizate de astăzi DAO și așa mai departe. Ei [00:45:50] de-abia țin pasul, e o mașină care a pornit...[00:45:53] Cu 800 la oră [00:45:55] și ești cu un elastic prins în spate și mai trage câteodată elasticul așa și mai prind, [00:46:00] dar se uită iar a plecat mașina, bă de abia ne-am prins cu treaba asta, bă iar a plecat. [00:46:05] E mult mai dinamic, e mult mai dinamic domeniul decât pot ei duce [00:46:10] și pot nu reglementa ci strânge [00:46:15] sau[00:46:15] George Buhnici: capitaliza ei, știi?[00:46:16] Cristian Onetiu: Dar[00:46:17] George Buhnici: până la urmă, uite și guvernanții americani după ce [00:46:20] păreau anti-anti-anti, acum declară public că vor încerca să acumuleze din orice sursă [00:46:25] posibil. Păi de ce? De[00:46:26] Cristian Onetiu: ce până acum au fost anti? Dacă mie nu-mi place că faci tu platforma [00:46:30] cetățean.ro și deschizi mintea oamenilor, o-ți dau 10 [00:46:35] motive să închizi și să urlu la tine și peste 3 ani când ești și tu [00:46:40] pregătit, o să spui uite am făcut și eu noi un tool cu un AI care să-i ajute pe oameni.[00:46:43] Dar ea e a, nu mai e [00:46:45] descentralizat, nu mai e, nu. E, îl controlez eu acolo dau la butoane dau eu. Mai așa, mai [00:46:50] așa. Așa-i peste tot. Atunci când nu înțelegi ceva și știi că-i potențial acolo, îl [00:46:55]reglementezi și dai în el până-l omori. Și când îl omori cumperi ieftin și după aceea [00:47:00] zici, bă știi ce? Bă nu-i chiar așa de rău.[00:47:02] Am început să-l înțelegem. În[00:47:04] George Buhnici: [00:47:05] paranteze și am început să-l deținem. De ce? E încă de vreme. Pentru că de [00:47:10] cele mai multe ori ni se pare că am ratat și ideea asta, când de fapt schimbarea nu se întâmplă [00:47:15] peste noapte, durează o vreme și sunt încă destul de multe lucruri care încă [00:47:20]sunt în infanție, cum zicem.[00:47:23] Știi Sunt la început. [00:47:25] Alte lucruri mai vezi că sunt încă de vreme. Pentru... Partea[00:47:28] Cristian Onetiu: asta de [00:47:30] America, am intrat deja în zona asta și speranța mea este ca Europa să [00:47:35] rămână bastionul democrației, fragil, mușcat de [00:47:40] fund din toate părțile și izolat, chiar văd o [00:47:45] izolare în viitorul în perioada următoare, și pe toți ceilalți care [00:47:50] încearcă să muște.[00:47:51] În România cred că politic ne [00:47:55] vom... Ne vom bătători mințile, nu știu cum o să fie, [00:48:00] pentru că o să continue toată zona asta de populism economic. Mă uit [00:48:05] îngrijorat la tot ce înseamnă impactul promisiunilor dubioase, [00:48:10] politice în zona de cifre. Nu au niciun fel de sustenabilitate, dar [00:48:15] mă îngrijorează că oamenii nu sunt curioși de a înțelege [00:48:20] cifrele.[00:48:20] Adică să te lași așa ușor păcălit de cineva care spune că o să-ți [00:48:25] dau, nu o să-ți mai iau fără să înțelegi că... Că împărțim la toată lumea...[00:48:30] [00:48:35] [00:48:40][00:48:44] Că genul [00:48:45] ăsta de mesaj nu că prinde, înțeleg că prinde. Dacă nu ne trezim și că [00:48:50] nu există voci raționale care să vorbească numai despre asta, zic că, bă, știi ce, eu nu [00:48:55] mai vorbesc la emisiunea asta despre nimic până nu mă răspunzi la întrebarea asta. Pentru că tu îți bazezi tot [00:49:00] mesajul pe genul ăsta de argumente.[00:49:03] Până nu mi-e explici, eu nu te mai [00:49:05] întreb ce ai mai făcut când ai fost mic, cu cine te-ai mai certat, eu nu-ți mai dau spațiu de emisie până când nu [00:49:10] rezolvi axiomele cu care tu pornești sub formă de platformă program și care nu sunt [00:49:15] sustenabile. Dacă mi le explici pe alea după aceea vorbim despre tot ce vrei tu.[00:49:18] Dar nu mi-ai răspuns la [00:49:20] lucrurile pe care... Marșalitatea emisiunilor de televiziune par spălări zilele astea Da. Da, deci aici [00:49:25]trebuie să avem grijă unii de noi și trebuie să ne manifestăm spiritul civic mai mult între [00:49:30] prieteni, între apropiați, între oamenii care pot vorbi despre ceva. Dar scurt pe[00:49:34] George Buhnici: partea politică de [00:49:35] la noi, oamenii au impresia că totul se joacă acum, nu mai nu se joacă tot.[00:49:38] Din punct de vedere parlamentar [00:49:40] e închisă pentru voturile patru ani. Deci avem parlamentul rezolvat, guvernul n-ai cum să îl dai jos, [00:49:45] poate să vină orice președinte, nu poți să schimbi configurația care e la putere în momentul ăsta. Hai [00:49:50] să ne trezim un pic. Bătălia este pentru cine pune și la servicii. Pe [00:49:55] partea asta politică este multă gargară se vorbește mult, sunt tins să-ți dau dreptate [00:50:00] că următorii patru ani ne vor arăta cât departe se poate duce suveranismul ăsta la noi.[00:50:04] Cristian Onetiu: [00:50:05] Da. Da? Deci asta, nu vorbesc numai până la alegere, acum. Eu vorbesc de... În următorii patru ani. Da. [00:50:10]2025, 2026, 2027. Deci asta se va amplifica tot mai mult. Ok. Pentru că indiferent ce se va întâmpla și [00:50:15] dacă câștigă un suveranist sau nu președinția, subiectul ăsta nu s-a [00:50:20] terminat. Corect El nu se închide acum.[00:50:21] Din potrivă, el se amplifică sub o formă de [00:50:25] gherila, că am rămas ne-au furat, sau sub formă de hai să le arătăm la aia și hai [00:50:30] să dărâmăm tot ce e așa că nu-i bun. Deci asta va continua într-o formă sau alta, ambele [00:50:35] Va trebui să ne înarmăm cu rațiune și cu discuții de critical [00:50:40] thinking, că tot am vorbit de critical thinking și critical thinking îmi scria cineva pe [00:50:45] un comentariu dom'le, dar să nu mai fim atât de critici Critical thinking nu înseamnă că îl critici pe [00:50:50] celălalt înseamnă că despachetezi, de acolo vine din greacă despachetezi un termen [00:50:55] să-l înțelegi adică îl raționalizezi puțin îl pui pe hârtie, nu că tu ai o idee și [00:51:00] critical thinking înseamnă eu să fiu împotriva ta[00:51:02] George Buhnici: să te[00:51:02] Cristian Onetiu: critic.[00:51:03] George Buhnici: Critical thinking, dacă [00:51:05] acest maga, dacă suveranismul american reușește, crezi că [00:51:10] următorul parlament de la noi va fi suveranist? Va avea majoritate suveranistă? În Europa? Da. [00:51:15]Adică MAGA, ce vor ei? Da, pentru că MAGA nu a reușit să [00:51:20] facă Europa MAGA încă, dar dacă planul lui Trump cu roligarhii [00:51:25] lui cu MAGA, cu toate mișcarea asta reușește în America să o facă cumva nu știu, great, [00:51:30] grozavă dacă fac America grozavă în mătorii 2-3 ani, până la mătoare alegeri [00:51:35] crezi că poate să răstoarne și America și Europa să o facă MAGA?[00:51:38] Cristian Onetiu: Dacă o face [00:51:40] grozavă, da dar mă îndoiesc că poate să o facă adică [00:51:45][00:51:46] George Buhnici: apropo de cinism Hai că-mi notezi, fii atent, suntem în [00:51:50] neapropiem de, ne registrăm încă în martie martie 2025, Cristian Nețiu a spus așa [00:51:55] că Trump nu o să reușească[00:51:56] Cristian Onetiu: Nu cred, nu pentru că are foarte multe lucruri adică singurul [00:52:00] lucru care-l văd care văd să-l reușească este să facă o dinastie din familia lui [00:52:05] asta o văd sau din apropiații lui, să zicem Știi că a vrut să o pună pe Ivanka [00:52:10] să candideze Păi Uite-te și tu la pozele astea, cum vezi toată familia acolo, nu-ți [00:52:15] arată dinastie?[00:52:16] Adică când dacă venea Obama, [00:52:20] nu că țin eu cu Obama, nu țin nici cu nici care, n-am nicio treabă cu ei, dar zic ca și [00:52:25]comparație, dacă venea cu Michel în dreapta să o pună nu știu ce, păi sărea toată [00:52:30] lumea în sus. Dar a încercat Clinton. Noroc că s-a [00:52:35]împiedicat Clinton. Da mă de fapt în esență, toți încearcă același lucru.[00:52:39] Când [00:52:40] ai putere absolută.[00:52:42] George Buhnici: Nu puterea absolută [00:52:45] orbește absolut.[00:52:46] Cristian Onetiu: Te face cea mai [00:52:50] absolutistă persoană din lume. Nu există, nu există nu ne-a arătat istoria niciodată până acum, [00:52:55] că doar din istoria care o știm noi așa nostalgică, că acel mare cezar a fost bun pentru [00:53:00] oameni. Nu știu Nu știm A fost tot despre puterea lor și despre toate Tot revenind la America, dar[00:53:04] George Buhnici: [00:53:05] trebuie să te mai întreb ceva.[00:53:06] Da,[00:53:06] Cristian Onetiu: ultima.[00:53:06] George Buhnici: Elon Musk. Eu zic Elon Musk, tu spui? [00:53:10][00:53:10] Cristian Onetiu: Eu[00:53:10] George Buhnici: zic Peter Thiel Adică? Păi [00:53:15] trebuie să te duci mai sus. Apropo de știri, știi? Există cineva mai șmecher[00:53:18] Cristian Onetiu: decât Elon Musk acolo? Peter Thiel, [00:53:20]clar. De ce? a fost. Păi întotdeauna a fost. Și angajatorul lui principal și finanțatorul lui principal [00:53:25] cum? Adică nici nu se pune problema cine-i...[00:53:26] Păi Musk e cel mai[00:53:27] George Buhnici: bogat[00:53:28] Cristian Onetiu: unul de pe[00:53:28] George Buhnici: planetă. [00:53:30][00:53:30] Cristian Onetiu: Că așa... Și teoretic cel mai puternic. Eu sunt în 500 Forbes, dar [00:53:35] eu mai știu încă 10.000 care nu sunt acolo și care au mult mai mulți bani [00:53:40] decât... Eu n-am atâția bani cât scriu acolo și au de 100 de ori mai mulți bani și nu știe nimeni. [00:53:45] Nu e vorba de asta. E vorba de...[00:53:46] Lupta nu mai e pe banii. Banii sunt peste tot. E o luptă [00:53:50]ideologică Peter Thiel este un ideolog puternic. Foarte puternic. Foarte [00:53:55] puternic. Și a învățat de la René Girard niște lucruri fantastice care le-a [00:54:00] concretizat într-un capitalism [00:54:05] brutal. Brutal. [00:54:10] Elon Musk e mai... Umanist, parcă decât [00:54:15] Peter Thiel. Adică acolo ce văd eu mai departe ce [00:54:20] pot să înțeleg mai departe, că acolo este vârful [00:54:25] acestor mari bogații ai lumii cu companiilor [00:54:30] tehnologice.[00:54:30] E doar putere? E doar obsese de putere? Nu. Cei mai periculoși sunt [00:54:35] ăștia care au ideologie. Care cred că lumea asta era [00:54:40] cum e, că ne ducem în râpă, [00:54:45] inevitabil. Dar, vezi, și fașismul tot așa funcționează. Identifică [00:54:50] un lider maxim care te salvează, nu o instituție. Trebuie să identifice un pericol și [00:54:55] un dușman.[00:54:55] Deci acestea sunt caracteristicile premergătoare unui în [00:55:00]Italia, fașist. Așa s întâmplat. E aceeași rețetă. [00:55:05] Ok.[00:55:06] George Buhnici: Deci cât mai dorează relația lui Elon cu Trump? [00:55:10] Depinde de[00:55:11] Cristian Onetiu: pilă.[00:55:12] George Buhnici: Cel al cărui nume nu-l pronunțăm nu? Ca Harry Potter [00:55:15] Exact, exact. Voldemort. Depinde de vil că til l-a pus și pe Vens. Ascul [00:55:20] niște podcast-uri din state în care ei vorbesc cu foarte multe în fază despre acest patriotism al [00:55:25] oamenilor din tehnologie care vor să salveze țara și [00:55:30] trebuie să repare guvernul că e plin de s

Episode Summary: Heather “Lucky” Penney and Senior Fellow Brig Gen Houston "Slider" Cantwell, USAF (Ret.) chat with some of the nation's top remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) commanders about on-going combat contributions and the Air Force's future development path for this incredible mission. They are joined by Brig Gen Christopher "Reggie" Hammond, Director of RPA and Airborne ISR Capabilities at Headquarters Air Force; Col Timothy "Tilt" Monroe, Wing Commander of the 319th Reconnaissance Wing; and Col Nicholas "Fever" Pederson, Wing Commander of the 432nd Wing. Remotely Piloted Aircraft spent the past two decades affording incredible battlefield persistence and compressed the kill chains unlike any weapon system in history. Airmen are now working to develop new tactics, techniques, and procedures to address challenges of today and tomorrow—including the peer threat. We also explore how RPA operations will help inform emerging technologies like Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA).

Is it just so obvious to raise these questions. They were not raising them before now. So now I see that people are asking, why should it be this way? Why do the doctors quit? Why we cannot afford medicine that costs literally like a few cents in Europe. And it's not like third party country rates. What are the best developed countries in the world? Let's put it this way, it's affordable. And here it's not, in the richest country in the world. That's crazy.” Podcast Information Want PR that actually matters?

This is Alessio, partner and CTO at Decibel Partners, and I'm joined by my co-host Swyx, founder of Smol.ai.swyx [00:00:12]: Hey, and today we are very blessed to have our friends, Paul Klein, for the fourth, the fourth, CEO of Browserbase. Welcome.Paul [00:00:21]: Thanks guys. Yeah, I'm happy to be here. I've been lucky to know both of you for like a couple of years now, I think. So it's just like we're hanging out, you know, with three ginormous microphones in front of our face. It's totally normal hangout.swyx [00:00:34]: Yeah. We've actually mentioned you on the podcast, I think, more often than any other Solaris tenant. Just because like you're one of the, you know, best performing, I think, LLM tool companies that have started up in the last couple of years.Paul [00:00:50]: Yeah, I mean, it's been a whirlwind of a year, like Browserbase is actually pretty close to our first birthday. So we are one years old. And going from, you know, starting a company as a solo founder to... To, you know, having a team of 20 people, you know, a series A, but also being able to support hundreds of AI companies that are building AI applications that go out and automate the web. It's just been like, really cool. It's been happening a little too fast. I think like collectively as an AI industry, let's just take a week off together. I took my first vacation actually two weeks ago, and Operator came out on the first day, and then a week later, DeepSeat came out. And I'm like on vacation trying to chill. I'm like, we got to build with this stuff, right? So it's been a breakneck year. But I'm super happy to be here and like talk more about all the stuff we're seeing. And I'd love to hear kind of what you guys are excited about too, and share with it, you know?swyx [00:01:39]: Where to start? So people, you've done a bunch of podcasts. I think I strongly recommend Jack Bridger's Scaling DevTools, as well as Turner Novak's The Peel. And, you know, I'm sure there's others. So you covered your Twilio story in the past, talked about StreamClub, you got acquired to Mux, and then you left to start Browserbase. So maybe we just start with what is Browserbase? Yeah.Paul [00:02:02]: Browserbase is the web browser for your AI. We're building headless browser infrastructure, which are browsers that run in a server environment that's accessible to developers via APIs and SDKs. It's really hard to run a web browser in the cloud. You guys are probably running Chrome on your computers, and that's using a lot of resources, right? So if you want to run a web browser or thousands of web browsers, you can't just spin up a bunch of lambdas. You actually need to use a secure containerized environment. You have to scale it up and down. It's a stateful system. And that infrastructure is, like, super painful. And I know that firsthand, because at my last company, StreamClub, I was CTO, and I was building our own internal headless browser infrastructure. That's actually why we sold the company, is because Mux really wanted to buy our headless browser infrastructure that we'd built. And it's just a super hard problem. And I actually told my co-founders, I would never start another company unless it was a browser infrastructure company. And it turns out that's really necessary in the age of AI, when AI can actually go out and interact with websites, click on buttons, fill in forms. You need AI to do all of that work in an actual browser running somewhere on a server. And BrowserBase powers that.swyx [00:03:08]: While you're talking about it, it occurred to me, not that you're going to be acquired or anything, but it occurred to me that it would be really funny if you became the Nikita Beer of headless browser companies. You just have one trick, and you make browser companies that get acquired.Paul [00:03:23]: I truly do only have one trick. I'm screwed if it's not for headless browsers. I'm not a Go programmer. You know, I'm in AI grant. You know, browsers is an AI grant. But we were the only company in that AI grant batch that used zero dollars on AI spend. You know, we're purely an infrastructure company. So as much as people want to ask me about reinforcement learning, I might not be the best guy to talk about that. But if you want to ask about headless browser infrastructure at scale, I can talk your ear off. So that's really my area of expertise. And it's a pretty niche thing. Like, nobody has done what we're doing at scale before. So we're happy to be the experts.swyx [00:03:59]: You do have an AI thing, stagehand. We can talk about the sort of core of browser-based first, and then maybe stagehand. Yeah, stagehand is kind of the web browsing framework. Yeah.What is Browserbase? Headless Browser Infrastructure ExplainedAlessio [00:04:10]: Yeah. Yeah. And maybe how you got to browser-based and what problems you saw. So one of the first things I worked on as a software engineer was integration testing. Sauce Labs was kind of like the main thing at the time. And then we had Selenium, we had Playbrite, we had all these different browser things. But it's always been super hard to do. So obviously you've worked on this before. When you started browser-based, what were the challenges? What were the AI-specific challenges that you saw versus, there's kind of like all the usual running browser at scale in the cloud, which has been a problem for years. What are like the AI unique things that you saw that like traditional purchase just didn't cover? Yeah.AI-specific challenges in browser infrastructurePaul [00:04:46]: First and foremost, I think back to like the first thing I did as a developer, like as a kid when I was writing code, I wanted to write code that did stuff for me. You know, I wanted to write code to automate my life. And I do that probably by using curl or beautiful soup to fetch data from a web browser. And I think I still do that now that I'm in the cloud. And the other thing that I think is a huge challenge for me is that you can't just create a web site and parse that data. And we all know that now like, you know, taking HTML and plugging that into an LLM, you can extract insights, you can summarize. So it was very clear that now like dynamic web scraping became very possible with the rise of large language models or a lot easier. And that was like a clear reason why there's been more usage of headless browsers, which are necessary because a lot of modern websites don't expose all of their page content via a simple HTTP request. You know, they actually do require you to run this type of code for a specific time. JavaScript on the page to hydrate this. Airbnb is a great example. You go to airbnb.com. A lot of that content on the page isn't there until after they run the initial hydration. So you can't just scrape it with a curl. You need to have some JavaScript run. And a browser is that JavaScript engine that's going to actually run all those requests on the page. So web data retrieval was definitely one driver of starting BrowserBase and the rise of being able to summarize that within LLM. Also, I was familiar with if I wanted to automate a website, I could write one script and that would work for one website. It was very static and deterministic. But the web is non-deterministic. The web is always changing. And until we had LLMs, there was no way to write scripts that you could write once that would run on any website. That would change with the structure of the website. Click the login button. It could mean something different on many different websites. And LLMs allow us to generate code on the fly to actually control that. So I think that rise of writing the generic automation scripts that can work on many different websites, to me, made it clear that browsers are going to be a lot more useful because now you can automate a lot more things without writing. If you wanted to write a script to book a demo call on 100 websites, previously, you had to write 100 scripts. Now you write one script that uses LLMs to generate that script. That's why we built our web browsing framework, StageHand, which does a lot of that work for you. But those two things, web data collection and then enhanced automation of many different websites, it just felt like big drivers for more browser infrastructure that would be required to power these kinds of features.Alessio [00:07:05]: And was multimodality also a big thing?Paul [00:07:08]: Now you can use the LLMs to look, even though the text in the dome might not be as friendly. Maybe my hot take is I was always kind of like, I didn't think vision would be as big of a driver. For UI automation, I felt like, you know, HTML is structured text and large language models are good with structured text. But it's clear that these computer use models are often vision driven, and they've been really pushing things forward. So definitely being multimodal, like rendering the page is required to take a screenshot to give that to a computer use model to take actions on a website. And it's just another win for browser. But I'll be honest, that wasn't what I was thinking early on. I didn't even think that we'd get here so fast with multimodality. I think we're going to have to get back to multimodal and vision models.swyx [00:07:50]: This is one of those things where I forgot to mention in my intro that I'm an investor in Browserbase. And I remember that when you pitched to me, like a lot of the stuff that we have today, we like wasn't on the original conversation. But I did have my original thesis was something that we've talked about on the podcast before, which is take the GPT store, the custom GPT store, all the every single checkbox and plugin is effectively a startup. And this was the browser one. I think the main hesitation, I think I actually took a while to get back to you. The main hesitation was that there were others. Like you're not the first hit list browser startup. It's not even your first hit list browser startup. There's always a question of like, will you be the category winner in a place where there's a bunch of incumbents, to be honest, that are bigger than you? They're just not targeted at the AI space. They don't have the backing of Nat Friedman. And there's a bunch of like, you're here in Silicon Valley. They're not. I don't know.Paul [00:08:47]: I don't know if that's, that was it, but like, there was a, yeah, I mean, like, I think I tried all the other ones and I was like, really disappointed. Like my background is from working at great developer tools, companies, and nothing had like the Vercel like experience. Um, like our biggest competitor actually is partly owned by private equity and they just jacked up their prices quite a bit. And the dashboard hasn't changed in five years. And I actually used them at my last company and tried them and I was like, oh man, like there really just needs to be something that's like the experience of these great infrastructure companies, like Stripe, like clerk, like Vercel that I use in love, but oriented towards this kind of like more specific category, which is browser infrastructure, which is really technically complex. Like a lot of stuff can go wrong on the internet when you're running a browser. The internet is very vast. There's a lot of different configurations. Like there's still websites that only work with internet explorer out there. How do you handle that when you're running your own browser infrastructure? These are the problems that we have to think about and solve at BrowserBase. And it's, it's certainly a labor of love, but I built this for me, first and foremost, I know it's super cheesy and everyone says that for like their startups, but it really, truly was for me. If you look at like the talks I've done even before BrowserBase, and I'm just like really excited to try and build a category defining infrastructure company. And it's, it's rare to have a new category of infrastructure exists. We're here in the Chroma offices and like, you know, vector databases is a new category of infrastructure. Is it, is it, I mean, we can, we're in their office, so, you know, we can, we can debate that one later. That is one.Multimodality in AI-Powered Browsingswyx [00:10:16]: That's one of the industry debates.Paul [00:10:17]: I guess we go back to the LLMOS talk that Karpathy gave way long ago. And like the browser box was very clearly there and it seemed like the people who were building in this space also agreed that browsers are a core primitive of infrastructure for the LLMOS that's going to exist in the future. And nobody was building something there that I wanted to use. So I had to go build it myself.swyx [00:10:38]: Yeah. I mean, exactly that talk that, that honestly, that diagram, every box is a startup and there's the code box and then there's the. The browser box. I think at some point they will start clashing there. There's always the question of the, are you a point solution or are you the sort of all in one? And I think the point solutions tend to win quickly, but then the only ones have a very tight cohesive experience. Yeah. Let's talk about just the hard problems of browser base you have on your website, which is beautiful. Thank you. Was there an agency that you used for that? Yeah. Herb.paris.Paul [00:11:11]: They're amazing. Herb.paris. Yeah. It's H-E-R-V-E. I highly recommend for developers. Developer tools, founders to work with consumer agencies because they end up building beautiful things and the Parisians know how to build beautiful interfaces. So I got to give prep.swyx [00:11:24]: And chat apps, apparently are, they are very fast. Oh yeah. The Mistral chat. Yeah. Mistral. Yeah.Paul [00:11:31]: Late chat.swyx [00:11:31]: Late chat. And then your videos as well, it was professionally shot, right? The series A video. Yeah.Alessio [00:11:36]: Nico did the videos. He's amazing. Not the initial video that you shot at the new one. First one was Austin.Paul [00:11:41]: Another, another video pretty surprised. But yeah, I mean, like, I think when you think about how you talk about your company. You have to think about the way you present yourself. It's, you know, as a developer, you think you evaluate a company based on like the API reliability and the P 95, but a lot of developers say, is the website good? Is the message clear? Do I like trust this founder? I'm building my whole feature on. So I've tried to nail that as well as like the reliability of the infrastructure. You're right. It's very hard. And there's a lot of kind of foot guns that you run into when running headless browsers at scale. Right.Competing with Existing Headless Browser Solutionsswyx [00:12:10]: So let's pick one. You have eight features here. Seamless integration. Scalability. Fast or speed. Secure. Observable. Stealth. That's interesting. Extensible and developer first. What comes to your mind as like the top two, three hardest ones? Yeah.Running headless browsers at scalePaul [00:12:26]: I think just running headless browsers at scale is like the hardest one. And maybe can I nerd out for a second? Is that okay? I heard this is a technical audience, so I'll talk to the other nerds. Whoa. They were listening. Yeah. They're upset. They're ready. The AGI is angry. Okay. So. So how do you run a browser in the cloud? Let's start with that, right? So let's say you're using a popular browser automation framework like Puppeteer, Playwright, and Selenium. Maybe you've written a code, some code locally on your computer that opens up Google. It finds the search bar and then types in, you know, search for Latent Space and hits the search button. That script works great locally. You can see the little browser open up. You want to take that to production. You want to run the script in a cloud environment. So when your laptop is closed, your browser is doing something. The browser is doing something. Well, I, we use Amazon. You can see the little browser open up. You know, the first thing I'd reach for is probably like some sort of serverless infrastructure. I would probably try and deploy on a Lambda. But Chrome itself is too big to run on a Lambda. It's over 250 megabytes. So you can't easily start it on a Lambda. So you maybe have to use something like Lambda layers to squeeze it in there. Maybe use a different Chromium build that's lighter. And you get it on the Lambda. Great. It works. But it runs super slowly. It's because Lambdas are very like resource limited. They only run like with one vCPU. You can run one process at a time. Remember, Chromium is super beefy. It's barely running on my MacBook Air. I'm still downloading it from a pre-run. Yeah, from the test earlier, right? I'm joking. But it's big, you know? So like Lambda, it just won't work really well. Maybe it'll work, but you need something faster. Your users want something faster. Okay. Well, let's put it on a beefier instance. Let's get an EC2 server running. Let's throw Chromium on there. Great. Okay. I can, that works well with one user. But what if I want to run like 10 Chromium instances, one for each of my users? Okay. Well, I might need two EC2 instances. Maybe 10. All of a sudden, you have multiple EC2 instances. This sounds like a problem for Kubernetes and Docker, right? Now, all of a sudden, you're using ECS or EKS, the Kubernetes or container solutions by Amazon. You're spending up and down containers, and you're spending a whole engineer's time on kind of maintaining this stateful distributed system. Those are some of the worst systems to run because when it's a stateful distributed system, it means that you are bound by the connections to that thing. You have to keep the browser open while someone is working with it, right? That's just a painful architecture to run. And there's all this other little gotchas with Chromium, like Chromium, which is the open source version of Chrome, by the way. You have to install all these fonts. You want emojis working in your browsers because your vision model is looking for the emoji. You need to make sure you have the emoji fonts. You need to make sure you have all the right extensions configured, like, oh, do you want ad blocking? How do you configure that? How do you actually record all these browser sessions? Like it's a headless browser. You can't look at it. So you need to have some sort of observability. Maybe you're recording videos and storing those somewhere. It all kind of adds up to be this just giant monster piece of your project when all you wanted to do was run a lot of browsers in production for this little script to go to google.com and search. And when I see a complex distributed system, I see an opportunity to build a great infrastructure company. And we really abstract that away with Browserbase where our customers can use these existing frameworks, Playwright, Publisher, Selenium, or our own stagehand and connect to our browsers in a serverless-like way. And control them, and then just disconnect when they're done. And they don't have to think about the complex distributed system behind all of that. They just get a browser running anywhere, anytime. Really easy to connect to.swyx [00:15:55]: I'm sure you have questions. My standard question with anything, so essentially you're a serverless browser company, and there's been other serverless things that I'm familiar with in the past, serverless GPUs, serverless website hosting. That's where I come from with Netlify. One question is just like, you promised to spin up thousands of servers. You promised to spin up thousands of browsers in milliseconds. I feel like there's no real solution that does that yet. And I'm just kind of curious how. The only solution I know, which is to kind of keep a kind of warm pool of servers around, which is expensive, but maybe not so expensive because it's just CPUs. So I'm just like, you know. Yeah.Browsers as a Core Primitive in AI InfrastructurePaul [00:16:36]: You nailed it, right? I mean, how do you offer a serverless-like experience with something that is clearly not serverless, right? And the answer is, you need to be able to run... We run many browsers on single nodes. We use Kubernetes at browser base. So we have many pods that are being scheduled. We have to predictably schedule them up or down. Yes, thousands of browsers in milliseconds is the best case scenario. If you hit us with 10,000 requests, you may hit a slower cold start, right? So we've done a lot of work on predictive scaling and being able to kind of route stuff to different regions where we have multiple regions of browser base where we have different pools available. You can also pick the region you want to go to based on like lower latency, round trip, time latency. It's very important with these types of things. There's a lot of requests going over the wire. So for us, like having a VM like Firecracker powering everything under the hood allows us to be super nimble and spin things up or down really quickly with strong multi-tenancy. But in the end, this is like the complex infrastructural challenges that we have to kind of deal with at browser base. And we have a lot more stuff on our roadmap to allow customers to have more levers to pull to exchange, do you want really fast browser startup times or do you want really low costs? And if you're willing to be more flexible on that, we may be able to kind of like work better for your use cases.swyx [00:17:44]: Since you used Firecracker, shouldn't Fargate do that for you or did you have to go lower level than that? We had to go lower level than that.Paul [00:17:51]: I find this a lot with Fargate customers, which is alarming for Fargate. We used to be a giant Fargate customer. Actually, the first version of browser base was ECS and Fargate. And unfortunately, it's a great product. I think we were actually the largest Fargate customer in our region for a little while. No, what? Yeah, seriously. And unfortunately, it's a great product, but I think if you're an infrastructure company, you actually have to have a deeper level of control over these primitives. I think it's the same thing is true with databases. We've used other database providers and I think-swyx [00:18:21]: Yeah, serverless Postgres.Paul [00:18:23]: Shocker. When you're an infrastructure company, you're on the hook if any provider has an outage. And I can't tell my customers like, hey, we went down because so-and-so went down. That's not acceptable. So for us, we've really moved to bringing things internally. It's kind of opposite of what we preach. We tell our customers, don't build this in-house, but then we're like, we build a lot of stuff in-house. But I think it just really depends on what is in the critical path. We try and have deep ownership of that.Alessio [00:18:46]: On the distributed location side, how does that work for the web where you might get sort of different content in different locations, but the customer is expecting, you know, if you're in the US, I'm expecting the US version. But if you're spinning up my browser in France, I might get the French version. Yeah.Paul [00:19:02]: Yeah. That's a good question. Well, generally, like on the localization, there is a thing called locale in the browser. You can set like what your locale is. If you're like in the ENUS browser or not, but some things do IP, IP based routing. And in that case, you may want to have a proxy. Like let's say you're running something in the, in Europe, but you want to make sure you're showing up from the US. You may want to use one of our proxy features so you can turn on proxies to say like, make sure these connections always come from the United States, which is necessary too, because when you're browsing the web, you're coming from like a, you know, data center IP, and that can make things a lot harder to browse web. So we do have kind of like this proxy super network. Yeah. We have a proxy for you based on where you're going, so you can reliably automate the web. But if you get scheduled in Europe, that doesn't happen as much. We try and schedule you as close to, you know, your origin that you're trying to go to. But generally you have control over the regions you can put your browsers in. So you can specify West one or East one or Europe. We only have one region of Europe right now, actually. Yeah.Alessio [00:19:55]: What's harder, the browser or the proxy? I feel like to me, it feels like actually proxying reliably at scale. It's much harder than spending up browsers at scale. I'm curious. It's all hard.Paul [00:20:06]: It's layers of hard, right? Yeah. I think it's different levels of hard. I think the thing with the proxy infrastructure is that we work with many different web proxy providers and some are better than others. Some have good days, some have bad days. And our customers who've built browser infrastructure on their own, they have to go and deal with sketchy actors. Like first they figure out their own browser infrastructure and then they got to go buy a proxy. And it's like you can pay in Bitcoin and it just kind of feels a little sus, right? It's like you're buying drugs when you're trying to get a proxy online. We have like deep relationships with these counterparties. We're able to audit them and say, is this proxy being sourced ethically? Like it's not running on someone's TV somewhere. Is it free range? Yeah. Free range organic proxies, right? Right. We do a level of diligence. We're SOC 2. So we have to understand what is going on here. But then we're able to make sure that like we route around proxy providers not working. There's proxy providers who will just, the proxy will stop working all of a sudden. And then if you don't have redundant proxying on your own browsers, that's hard down for you or you may get some serious impacts there. With us, like we intelligently know, hey, this proxy is not working. Let's go to this one. And you can kind of build a network of multiple providers to really guarantee the best uptime for our customers. Yeah. So you don't own any proxies? We don't own any proxies. You're right. The team has been saying who wants to like take home a little proxy server, but not yet. We're not there yet. You know?swyx [00:21:25]: It's a very mature market. I don't think you should build that yourself. Like you should just be a super customer of them. Yeah. Scraping, I think, is the main use case for that. I guess. Well, that leads us into CAPTCHAs and also off, but let's talk about CAPTCHAs. You had a little spiel that you wanted to talk about CAPTCHA stuff.Challenges of Scaling Browser InfrastructurePaul [00:21:43]: Oh, yeah. I was just, I think a lot of people ask, if you're thinking about proxies, you're thinking about CAPTCHAs too. I think it's the same thing. You can go buy CAPTCHA solvers online, but it's the same buying experience. It's some sketchy website, you have to integrate it. It's not fun to buy these things and you can't really trust that the docs are bad. What Browserbase does is we integrate a bunch of different CAPTCHAs. We do some stuff in-house, but generally we just integrate with a bunch of known vendors and continually monitor and maintain these things and say, is this working or not? Can we route around it or not? These are CAPTCHA solvers. CAPTCHA solvers, yeah. Not CAPTCHA providers, CAPTCHA solvers. Yeah, sorry. CAPTCHA solvers. We really try and make sure all of that works for you. I think as a dev, if I'm buying infrastructure, I want it all to work all the time and it's important for us to provide that experience by making sure everything does work and monitoring it on our own. Yeah. Right now, the world of CAPTCHAs is tricky. I think AI agents in particular are very much ahead of the internet infrastructure. CAPTCHAs are designed to block all types of bots, but there are now good bots and bad bots. I think in the future, CAPTCHAs will be able to identify who a good bot is, hopefully via some sort of KYC. For us, we've been very lucky. We have very little to no known abuse of Browserbase because we really look into who we work with. And for certain types of CAPTCHA solving, we only allow them on certain types of plans because we want to make sure that we can know what people are doing, what their use cases are. And that's really allowed us to try and be an arbiter of good bots, which is our long term goal. I want to build great relationships with people like Cloudflare so we can agree, hey, here are these acceptable bots. We'll identify them for you and make sure we flag when they come to your website. This is a good bot, you know?Alessio [00:23:23]: I see. And Cloudflare said they want to do more of this. So they're going to set by default, if they think you're an AI bot, they're going to reject. I'm curious if you think this is something that is going to be at the browser level or I mean, the DNS level with Cloudflare seems more where it should belong. But I'm curious how you think about it.Paul [00:23:40]: I think the web's going to change. You know, I think that the Internet as we have it right now is going to change. And we all need to just accept that the cat is out of the bag. And instead of kind of like wishing the Internet was like it was in the 2000s, we can have free content line that wouldn't be scraped. It's just it's not going to happen. And instead, we should think about like, one, how can we change? How can we change the models of, you know, information being published online so people can adequately commercialize it? But two, how do we rebuild applications that expect that AI agents are going to log in on their behalf? Those are the things that are going to allow us to kind of like identify good and bad bots. And I think the team at Clerk has been doing a really good job with this on the authentication side. I actually think that auth is the biggest thing that will prevent agents from accessing stuff, not captchas. And I think there will be agent auth in the future. I don't know if it's going to happen from an individual company, but actually authentication providers that have a, you know, hidden login as agent feature, which will then you put in your email, you'll get a push notification, say like, hey, your browser-based agent wants to log into your Airbnb. You can approve that and then the agent can proceed. That really circumvents the need for captchas or logging in as you and sharing your password. I think agent auth is going to be one way we identify good bots going forward. And I think a lot of this captcha solving stuff is really short-term problems as the internet kind of reorients itself around how it's going to work with agents browsing the web, just like people do. Yeah.Managing Distributed Browser Locations and Proxiesswyx [00:24:59]: Stitch recently was on Hacker News for talking about agent experience, AX, which is a thing that Netlify is also trying to clone and coin and talk about. And we've talked about this on our previous episodes before in a sense that I actually think that's like maybe the only part of the tech stack that needs to be kind of reinvented for agents. Everything else can stay the same, CLIs, APIs, whatever. But auth, yeah, we need agent auth. And it's mostly like short-lived, like it should not, it should be a distinct, identity from the human, but paired. I almost think like in the same way that every social network should have your main profile and then your alt accounts or your Finsta, it's almost like, you know, every, every human token should be paired with the agent token and the agent token can go and do stuff on behalf of the human token, but not be presumed to be the human. Yeah.Paul [00:25:48]: It's like, it's, it's actually very similar to OAuth is what I'm thinking. And, you know, Thread from Stitch is an investor, Colin from Clerk, Octaventures, all investors in browser-based because like, I hope they solve this because they'll make browser-based submission more possible. So we don't have to overcome all these hurdles, but I think it will be an OAuth-like flow where an agent will ask to log in as you, you'll approve the scopes. Like it can book an apartment on Airbnb, but it can't like message anybody. And then, you know, the agent will have some sort of like role-based access control within an application. Yeah. I'm excited for that.swyx [00:26:16]: The tricky part is just, there's one, one layer of delegation here, which is like, you're authoring my user's user or something like that. I don't know if that's tricky or not. Does that make sense? Yeah.Paul [00:26:25]: You know, actually at Twilio, I worked on the login identity and access. Management teams, right? So like I built Twilio's login page.swyx [00:26:31]: You were an intern on that team and then you became the lead in two years? Yeah.Paul [00:26:34]: Yeah. I started as an intern in 2016 and then I was the tech lead of that team. How? That's not normal. I didn't have a life. He's not normal. Look at this guy. I didn't have a girlfriend. I just loved my job. I don't know. I applied to 500 internships for my first job and I got rejected from every single one of them except for Twilio and then eventually Amazon. And they took a shot on me and like, I was getting paid money to write code, which was my dream. Yeah. Yeah. I'm very lucky that like this coding thing worked out because I was going to be doing it regardless. And yeah, I was able to kind of spend a lot of time on a team that was growing at a company that was growing. So it informed a lot of this stuff here. I think these are problems that have been solved with like the SAML protocol with SSO. I think it's a really interesting stuff with like WebAuthn, like these different types of authentication, like schemes that you can use to authenticate people. The tooling is all there. It just needs to be tweaked a little bit to work for agents. And I think the fact that there are companies that are already. Providing authentication as a service really sets it up. Well, the thing that's hard is like reinventing the internet for agents. We don't want to rebuild the internet. That's an impossible task. And I think people often say like, well, we'll have this second layer of APIs built for agents. I'm like, we will for the top use cases, but instead of we can just tweak the internet as is, which is on the authentication side, I think we're going to be the dumb ones going forward. Unfortunately, I think AI is going to be able to do a lot of the tasks that we do online, which means that it will be able to go to websites, click buttons on our behalf and log in on our behalf too. So with this kind of like web agent future happening, I think with some small structural changes, like you said, it feels like it could all slot in really nicely with the existing internet.Handling CAPTCHAs and Agent Authenticationswyx [00:28:08]: There's one more thing, which is the, your live view iframe, which lets you take, take control. Yeah. Obviously very key for operator now, but like, was, is there anything interesting technically there or that the people like, well, people always want this.Paul [00:28:21]: It was really hard to build, you know, like, so, okay. Headless browsers, you don't see them, right. They're running. They're running in a cloud somewhere. You can't like look at them. And I just want to really make, it's a weird name. I wish we came up with a better name for this thing, but you can't see them. Right. But customers don't trust AI agents, right. At least the first pass. So what we do with our live view is that, you know, when you use browser base, you can actually embed a live view of the browser running in the cloud for your customer to see it working. And that's what the first reason is the build trust, like, okay, so I have this script. That's going to go automate a website. I can embed it into my web application via an iframe and my customer can watch. I think. And then we added two way communication. So now not only can you watch the browser kind of being operated by AI, if you want to pause and actually click around type within this iframe that's controlling a browser, that's also possible. And this is all thanks to some of the lower level protocol, which is called the Chrome DevTools protocol. It has a API called start screencast, and you can also send mouse clicks and button clicks to a remote browser. And this is all embeddable within iframes. You have a browser within a browser, yo. And then you simulate the screen, the click on the other side. Exactly. And this is really nice often for, like, let's say, a capture that can't be solved. You saw this with Operator, you know, Operator actually uses a different approach. They use VNC. So, you know, you're able to see, like, you're seeing the whole window here. What we're doing is something a little lower level with the Chrome DevTools protocol. It's just PNGs being streamed over the wire. But the same thing is true, right? Like, hey, I'm running a window. Pause. Can you do something in this window? Human. Okay, great. Resume. Like sometimes 2FA tokens. Like if you get that text message, you might need a person to type that in. Web agents need human-in-the-loop type workflows still. You still need a person to interact with the browser. And building a UI to proxy that is kind of hard. You may as well just show them the whole browser and say, hey, can you finish this up for me? And then let the AI proceed on afterwards. Is there a future where I stream my current desktop to browser base? I don't think so. I think we're very much cloud infrastructure. Yeah. You know, but I think a lot of the stuff we're doing, we do want to, like, build tools. Like, you know, we'll talk about the stage and, you know, web agent framework in a second. But, like, there's a case where a lot of people are going desktop first for, you know, consumer use. And I think cloud is doing a lot of this, where I expect to see, you know, MCPs really oriented around the cloud desktop app for a reason, right? Like, I think a lot of these tools are going to run on your computer because it makes... I think it's breaking out. People are putting it on a server. Oh, really? Okay. Well, sweet. We'll see. We'll see that. I was surprised, though, wasn't I? I think that the browser company, too, with Dia Browser, it runs on your machine. You know, it's going to be...swyx [00:30:50]: What is it?Paul [00:30:51]: So, Dia Browser, as far as I understand... I used to use Arc. Yeah. I haven't used Arc. But I'm a big fan of the browser company. I think they're doing a lot of cool stuff in consumer. As far as I understand, it's a browser where you have a sidebar where you can, like, chat with it and it can control the local browser on your machine. So, if you imagine, like, what a consumer web agent is, which it lives alongside your browser, I think Google Chrome has Project Marina, I think. I almost call it Project Marinara for some reason. I don't know why. It's...swyx [00:31:17]: No, I think it's someone really likes the Waterworld. Oh, I see. The classic Kevin Costner. Yeah.Paul [00:31:22]: Okay. Project Marinara is a similar thing to the Dia Browser, in my mind, as far as I understand it. You have a browser that has an AI interface that will take over your mouse and keyboard and control the browser for you. Great for consumer use cases. But if you're building applications that rely on a browser and it's more part of a greater, like, AI app experience, you probably need something that's more like infrastructure, not a consumer app.swyx [00:31:44]: Just because I have explored a little bit in this area, do people want branching? So, I have the state. Of whatever my browser's in. And then I want, like, 100 clones of this state. Do people do that? Or...Paul [00:31:56]: People don't do it currently. Yeah. But it's definitely something we're thinking about. I think the idea of forking a browser is really cool. Technically, kind of hard. We're starting to see this in code execution, where people are, like, forking some, like, code execution, like, processes or forking some tool calls or branching tool calls. Haven't seen it at the browser level yet. But it makes sense. Like, if an AI agent is, like, using a website and it's not sure what path it wants to take to crawl this website. To find the information it's looking for. It would make sense for it to explore both paths in parallel. And that'd be a very, like... A road not taken. Yeah. And hopefully find the right answer. And then say, okay, this was actually the right one. And memorize that. And go there in the future. On the roadmap. For sure. Don't make my roadmap, please. You know?Alessio [00:32:37]: How do you actually do that? Yeah. How do you fork? I feel like the browser is so stateful for so many things.swyx [00:32:42]: Serialize the state. Restore the state. I don't know.Paul [00:32:44]: So, it's one of the reasons why we haven't done it yet. It's hard. You know? Like, to truly fork, it's actually quite difficult. The naive way is to open the same page in a new tab and then, like, hope that it's at the same thing. But if you have a form halfway filled, you may have to, like, take the whole, you know, container. Pause it. All the memory. Duplicate it. Restart it from there. It could be very slow. So, we haven't found a thing. Like, the easy thing to fork is just, like, copy the page object. You know? But I think there needs to be something a little bit more robust there. Yeah.swyx [00:33:12]: So, MorphLabs has this infinite branch thing. Like, wrote a custom fork of Linux or something that let them save the system state and clone it. MorphLabs, hit me up. I'll be a customer. Yeah. That's the only. I think that's the only way to do it. Yeah. Like, unless Chrome has some special API for you. Yeah.Paul [00:33:29]: There's probably something we'll reverse engineer one day. I don't know. Yeah.Alessio [00:33:32]: Let's talk about StageHand, the AI web browsing framework. You have three core components, Observe, Extract, and Act. Pretty clean landing page. What was the idea behind making a framework? Yeah.Stagehand: AI web browsing frameworkPaul [00:33:43]: So, there's three frameworks that are very popular or already exist, right? Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium. Those are for building hard-coded scripts to control websites. And as soon as I started to play with LLMs plus browsing, I caught myself, you know, code-genning Playwright code to control a website. I would, like, take the DOM. I'd pass it to an LLM. I'd say, can you generate the Playwright code to click the appropriate button here? And it would do that. And I was like, this really should be part of the frameworks themselves. And I became really obsessed with SDKs that take natural language as part of, like, the API input. And that's what StageHand is. StageHand exposes three APIs, and it's a super set of Playwright. So, if you go to a page, you may want to take an action, click on the button, fill in the form, etc. That's what the act command is for. You may want to extract some data. This one takes a natural language, like, extract the winner of the Super Bowl from this page. You can give it a Zod schema, so it returns a structured output. And then maybe you're building an API. You can do an agent loop, and you want to kind of see what actions are possible on this page before taking one. You can do observe. So, you can observe the actions on the page, and it will generate a list of actions. You can guide it, like, give me actions on this page related to buying an item. And you can, like, buy it now, add to cart, view shipping options, and pass that to an LLM, an agent loop, to say, what's the appropriate action given this high-level goal? So, StageHand isn't a web agent. It's a framework for building web agents. And we think that agent loops are actually pretty close to the application layer because every application probably has different goals or different ways it wants to take steps. I don't think I've seen a generic. Maybe you guys are the experts here. I haven't seen, like, a really good AI agent framework here. Everyone kind of has their own special sauce, right? I see a lot of developers building their own agent loops, and they're using tools. And I view StageHand as the browser tool. So, we expose act, extract, observe. Your agent can call these tools. And from that, you don't have to worry about it. You don't have to worry about generating playwright code performantly. You don't have to worry about running it. You can kind of just integrate these three tool calls into your agent loop and reliably automate the web.swyx [00:35:48]: A special shout-out to Anirudh, who I met at your dinner, who I think listens to the pod. Yeah. Hey, Anirudh.Paul [00:35:54]: Anirudh's a man. He's a StageHand guy.swyx [00:35:56]: I mean, the interesting thing about each of these APIs is they're kind of each startup. Like, specifically extract, you know, Firecrawler is extract. There's, like, Expand AI. There's a whole bunch of, like, extract companies. They just focus on extract. I'm curious. Like, I feel like you guys are going to collide at some point. Like, right now, it's friendly. Everyone's in a blue ocean. At some point, it's going to be valuable enough that there's some turf battle here. I don't think you have a dog in a fight. I think you can mock extract to use an external service if they're better at it than you. But it's just an observation that, like, in the same way that I see each option, each checkbox in the side of custom GBTs becoming a startup or each box in the Karpathy chart being a startup. Like, this is also becoming a thing. Yeah.Paul [00:36:41]: I mean, like, so the way StageHand works is that it's MIT-licensed, completely open source. You bring your own API key to your LLM of choice. You could choose your LLM. We don't make any money off of the extract or really. We only really make money if you choose to run it with our browser. You don't have to. You can actually use your own browser, a local browser. You know, StageHand is completely open source for that reason. And, yeah, like, I think if you're building really complex web scraping workflows, I don't know if StageHand is the tool for you. I think it's really more if you're building an AI agent that needs a few general tools or if it's doing a lot of, like, web automation-intensive work. But if you're building a scraping company, StageHand is not your thing. You probably want something that's going to, like, get HTML content, you know, convert that to Markdown, query it. That's not what StageHand does. StageHand is more about reliability. I think we focus a lot on reliability and less so on cost optimization and speed at this point.swyx [00:37:33]: I actually feel like StageHand, so the way that StageHand works, it's like, you know, page.act, click on the quick start. Yeah. It's kind of the integration test for the code that you would have to write anyway, like the Puppeteer code that you have to write anyway. And when the page structure changes, because it always does, then this is still the test. This is still the test that I would have to write. Yeah. So it's kind of like a testing framework that doesn't need implementation detail.Paul [00:37:56]: Well, yeah. I mean, Puppeteer, Playwright, and Slenderman were all designed as testing frameworks, right? Yeah. And now people are, like, hacking them together to automate the web. I would say, and, like, maybe this is, like, me being too specific. But, like, when I write tests, if the page structure changes. Without me knowing, I want that test to fail. So I don't know if, like, AI, like, regenerating that. Like, people are using StageHand for testing. But it's more for, like, usability testing, not, like, testing of, like, does the front end, like, has it changed or not. Okay. But generally where we've seen people, like, really, like, take off is, like, if they're using, you know, something. If they want to build a feature in their application that's kind of like Operator or Deep Research, they're using StageHand to kind of power that tool calling in their own agent loop. Okay. Cool.swyx [00:38:37]: So let's go into Operator, the first big agent launch of the year from OpenAI. Seems like they have a whole bunch scheduled. You were on break and your phone blew up. What's your just general view of computer use agents is what they're calling it. The overall category before we go into Open Operator, just the overall promise of Operator. I will observe that I tried it once. It was okay. And I never tried it again.OpenAI's Operator and computer use agentsPaul [00:38:58]: That tracks with my experience, too. Like, I'm a huge fan of the OpenAI team. Like, I think that I do not view Operator as the company. I'm not a company killer for browser base at all. I think it actually shows people what's possible. I think, like, computer use models make a lot of sense. And I'm actually most excited about computer use models is, like, their ability to, like, really take screenshots and reasoning and output steps. I think that using mouse click or mouse coordinates, I've seen that proved to be less reliable than I would like. And I just wonder if that's the right form factor. What we've done with our framework is anchor it to the DOM itself, anchor it to the actual item. So, like, if it's clicking on something, it's clicking on that thing, you know? Like, it's more accurate. No matter where it is. Yeah, exactly. Because it really ties in nicely. And it can handle, like, the whole viewport in one go, whereas, like, Operator can only handle what it sees. Can you hover? Is hovering a thing that you can do? I don't know if we expose it as a tool directly, but I'm sure there's, like, an API for hovering. Like, move mouse to this position. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you can trigger hover, like, via, like, the JavaScript on the DOM itself. But, no, I think, like, when we saw computer use, everyone's eyes lit up because they realized, like, wow, like, AI is going to actually automate work for people. And I think seeing that kind of happen from both of the labs, and I'm sure we're going to see more labs launch computer use models, I'm excited to see all the stuff that people build with it. I think that I'd love to see computer use power, like, controlling a browser on browser base. And I think, like, Open Operator, which was, like, our open source version of OpenAI's Operator, was our first take on, like, how can we integrate these models into browser base? And we handle the infrastructure and let the labs do the models. I don't have a sense that Operator will be released as an API. I don't know. Maybe it will. I'm curious to see how well that works because I think it's going to be really hard for a company like OpenAI to do things like support CAPTCHA solving or, like, have proxies. Like, I think it's hard for them structurally. Imagine this New York Times headline, OpenAI CAPTCHA solving. Like, that would be a pretty bad headline, this New York Times headline. Browser base solves CAPTCHAs. No one cares. No one cares. And, like, our investors are bored. Like, we're all okay with this, you know? We're building this company knowing that the CAPTCHA solving is short-lived until we figure out how to authenticate good bots. I think it's really hard for a company like OpenAI, who has this brand that's so, so good, to balance with, like, the icky parts of web automation, which it can be kind of complex to solve. I'm sure OpenAI knows who to call whenever they need you. Yeah, right. I'm sure they'll have a great partnership.Alessio [00:41:23]: And is Open Operator just, like, a marketing thing for you? Like, how do you think about resource allocation? So, you can spin this up very quickly. And now there's all this, like, open deep research, just open all these things that people are building. We started it, you know. You're the original Open. We're the original Open operator, you know? Is it just, hey, look, this is a demo, but, like, we'll help you build out an actual product for yourself? Like, are you interested in going more of a product route? That's kind of the OpenAI way, right? They started as a model provider and then…Paul [00:41:53]: Yeah, we're not interested in going the product route yet. I view Open Operator as a model provider. It's a reference project, you know? Let's show people how to build these things using the infrastructure and models that are out there. And that's what it is. It's, like, Open Operator is very simple. It's an agent loop. It says, like, take a high-level goal, break it down into steps, use tool calling to accomplish those steps. It takes screenshots and feeds those screenshots into an LLM with the step to generate the right action. It uses stagehand under the hood to actually execute this action. It doesn't use a computer use model. And it, like, has a nice interface using the live view that we talked about, the iframe, to embed that into an application. So I felt like people on launch day wanted to figure out how to build their own version of this. And we turned that around really quickly to show them. And I hope we do that with other things like deep research. We don't have a deep research launch yet. I think David from AOMNI actually has an amazing open deep research that he launched. It has, like, 10K GitHub stars now. So he's crushing that. But I think if people want to build these features natively into their application, they need good reference projects. And I think Open Operator is a good example of that.swyx [00:42:52]: I don't know. Actually, I'm actually pretty bullish on API-driven operator. Because that's the only way that you can sort of, like, once it's reliable enough, obviously. And now we're nowhere near. But, like, give it five years. It'll happen, you know. And then you can sort of spin this up and browsers are working in the background and you don't necessarily have to know. And it just is booking restaurants for you, whatever. I can definitely see that future happening. I had this on the landing page here. This might be a slightly out of order. But, you know, you have, like, sort of three use cases for browser base. Open Operator. Or this is the operator sort of use case. It's kind of like the workflow automation use case. And it completes with UiPath in the sort of RPA category. Would you agree with that? Yeah, I would agree with that. And then there's Agents we talked about already. And web scraping, which I imagine would be the bulk of your workload right now, right?Paul [00:43:40]: No, not at all. I'd say actually, like, the majority is browser automation. We're kind of expensive for web scraping. Like, I think that if you're building a web scraping product, if you need to do occasional web scraping or you have to do web scraping that works every single time, you want to use browser automation. Yeah. You want to use browser-based. But if you're building web scraping workflows, what you should do is have a waterfall. You should have the first request is a curl to the website. See if you can get it without even using a browser. And then the second request may be, like, a scraping-specific API. There's, like, a thousand scraping APIs out there that you can use to try and get data. Scraping B. Scraping B is a great example, right? Yeah. And then, like, if those two don't work, bring out the heavy hitter. Like, browser-based will 100% work, right? It will load the page in a real browser, hydrate it. I see.swyx [00:44:21]: Because a lot of people don't render to JS.swyx [00:44:25]: Yeah, exactly.Paul [00:44:26]: So, I mean, the three big use cases, right? Like, you know, automation, web data collection, and then, you know, if you're building anything agentic that needs, like, a browser tool, you want to use browser-based.Alessio [00:44:35]: Is there any use case that, like, you were super surprised by that people might not even think about? Oh, yeah. Or is it, yeah, anything that you can share? The long tail is crazy. Yeah.Surprising use cases of BrowserbasePaul [00:44:44]: One of the case studies on our website that I think is the most interesting is this company called Benny. So, the way that it works is if you're on food stamps in the United States, you can actually get rebates if you buy certain things. Yeah. You buy some vegetables. You submit your receipt to the government. They'll give you a little rebate back. Say, hey, thanks for buying vegetables. It's good for you. That process of submitting that receipt is very painful. And the way Benny works is you use their app to take a photo of your receipt, and then Benny will go submit that receipt for you and then deposit the money into your account. That's actually using no AI at all. It's all, like, hard-coded scripts. They maintain the scripts. They've been doing a great job. And they build this amazing consumer app. But it's an example of, like, all these, like, tedious workflows that people have to do to kind of go about their business. And they're doing it for the sake of their day-to-day lives. And I had never known about, like, food stamp rebates or the complex forms you have to do to fill them. But the world is powered by millions and millions of tedious forms, visas. You know, Emirate Lighthouse is a customer, right? You know, they do the O1 visa. Millions and millions of forms are taking away humans' time. And I hope that Browserbase can help power software that automates away the web forms that we don't need anymore. Yeah.swyx [00:45:49]: I mean, I'm very supportive of that. I mean, forms. I do think, like, government itself is a big part of it. I think the government itself should embrace AI more to do more sort of human-friendly form filling. Mm-hmm. But I'm not optimistic. I'm not holding my breath. Yeah. We'll see. Okay. I think I'm about to zoom out. I have a little brief thing on computer use, and then we can talk about founder stuff, which is, I tend to think of developer tooling markets in impossible triangles, where everyone starts in a niche, and then they start to branch out. So I already hinted at a little bit of this, right? We mentioned more. We mentioned E2B. We mentioned Firecrawl. And then there's Browserbase. So there's, like, all this stuff of, like, have serverless virtual computer that you give to an agent and let them do stuff with it. And there's various ways of connecting it to the internet. You can just connect to a search API, like SERP API, whatever other, like, EXA is another one. That's what you're searching. You can also have a JSON markdown extractor, which is Firecrawl. Or you can have a virtual browser like Browserbase, or you can have a virtual machine like Morph. And then there's also maybe, like, a virtual sort of code environment, like Code Interpreter. So, like, there's just, like, a bunch of different ways to tackle the problem of give a computer to an agent. And I'm just kind of wondering if you see, like, everyone's just, like, happily coexisting in their respective niches. And as a developer, I just go and pick, like, a shopping basket of one of each. Or do you think that you eventually, people will collide?Future of browser automation and market competitionPaul [00:47:18]: I think that currently it's not a zero-sum market. Like, I think we're talking about... I think we're talking about all of knowledge work that people do that can be automated online. All of these, like, trillions of hours that happen online where people are working. And I think that there's so much software to be built that, like, I tend not to think about how these companies will collide. I just try to solve the problem as best as I can and make this specific piece of infrastructure, which I think is an important primitive, the best I possibly can. And yeah. I think there's players that are actually going to like it. I think there's players that are going to launch, like, over-the-top, you know, platforms, like agent platforms that have all these tools built in, right? Like, who's building the rippling for agent tools that has the search tool, the browser tool, the operating system tool, right? There are some. There are some. There are some, right? And I think in the end, what I have seen as my time as a developer, and I look at all the favorite tools that I have, is that, like, for tools and primitives with sufficient levels of complexity, you need to have a solution that's really bespoke to that primitive, you know? And I am sufficiently convinced that the browser is complex enough to deserve a primitive. Obviously, I have to. I'm the founder of BrowserBase, right? I'm talking my book. But, like, I think maybe I can give you one spicy take against, like, maybe just whole OS running. I think that when I look at computer use when it first came out, I saw that the majority of use cases for computer use were controlling a browser. And do we really need to run an entire operating system just to control a browser? I don't think so. I don't think that's necessary. You know, BrowserBase can run browsers for way cheaper than you can if you're running a full-fledged OS with a GUI, you know, operating system. And I think that's just an advantage of the browser. It is, like, browsers are little OSs, and you can run them very efficiently if you orchestrate it well. And I think that allows us to offer 90% of the, you know, functionality in the platform needed at 10% of the cost of running a full OS. Yeah.Open Operator: Browserbase's Open-Source Alternativeswyx [00:49:16]: I definitely see the logic in that. There's a Mark Andreessen quote. I don't know if you know this one. Where he basically observed that the browser is turning the operating system into a poorly debugged set of device drivers, because most of the apps are moved from the OS to the browser. So you can just run browsers.Paul [00:49:31]: There's a place for OSs, too. Like, I think that there are some applications that only run on Windows operating systems. And Eric from pig.dev in this upcoming YC batch, or last YC batch, like, he's building all run tons of Windows operating systems for you to control with your agent. And like, there's some legacy EHR systems that only run on Internet-controlled systems. Yeah.Paul [00:49:54]: I think that's it. I think, like, there are use cases for specific operating systems for specific legacy software. And like, I'm excited to see what he does with that. I just wanted to give a shout out to the pig.dev website.swyx [00:50:06]: The pigs jump when you click on them. Yeah. That's great.Paul [00:50:08]: Eric, he's the former co-founder of banana.dev, too.swyx [00:50:11]: Oh, that Eric. Yeah. That Eric. Okay. Well, he abandoned bananas for pigs. I hope he doesn't start going around with pigs now.Alessio [00:50:18]: Like he was going around with bananas. A little toy pig. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. What else are we missing? I think we covered a lot of, like, the browser-based product history, but. What do you wish people asked you? Yeah.Paul [00:50:29]: I wish people asked me more about, like, what will the future of software look like? Because I think that's really where I've spent a lot of time about why do browser-based. Like, for me, starting a company is like a means of last resort. Like, you shouldn't start a company unless you absolutely have to. And I remain convinced that the future of software is software that you're going to click a button and it's going to do stuff on your behalf. Right now, software. You click a button and it maybe, like, calls it back an API and, like, computes some numbers. It, like, modifies some text, whatever. But the future of software is software using software. So, I may log into my accounting website for my business, click a button, and it's going to go load up my Gmail, search my emails, find the thing, upload the receipt, and then comment it for me. Right? And it may use it using APIs, maybe a browser. I don't know. I think it's a little bit of both. But that's completely different from how we've built software so far. And that's. I think that future of software has different infrastructure requirements. It's going to require different UIs. It's going to require different pieces of infrastructure. I think the browser infrastructure is one piece that fits into that, along with all the other categories you mentioned. So, I think that it's going to require developers to think differently about how they've built software for, you know

Today's guest is Ken Mertzel, Global Industry Leader in Financial Services at Automation Anywhere. Automation Anywhere is a global software company that develops various automation software for major industries. Before joining Automation Anywhere six years ago, Ken spent his career in the financial sector, including 15 years at Bank of America. There, he served as CFO of the insurance division and held various leadership roles in finance, risk management, and consumer operations, ultimately leading financial operations for the bank. Before that, he was part of Accenture's Financial Services Strategy practice, advising clients on industry-leading financial strategies. Ken joins us on this week's program to explore the evolution of automation in heavily regulated industries. He explains why traditional RPA has only been able to automate a fraction of tasks and how AI is unlocking new opportunities. Ken also breaks down how agentic automation is transforming key financial processes, from AML investigations to fraud detection and underwriting. By combining AI with automation, organizations can extract valuable insights, streamline decision-making, and create more interactive, human-in-the-loop systems.
