IPO season is heating up and AJ and Shane West are back after a whirlwind few weeks that included a company retreat upstate, a client event in Williamsburg, the launch of Gemifi at FPA NorCal in San Francisco, and a pod of orcas off the coast of Seattle. In Episode 190 of The Liquidity Event, they dig into Carta's proposal to allow employees to contribute vested equity directly into a 401k or IRA, and whether it actually helps everyday startup employees or just adds another tax break for the wealthy. They also break down Oura Ring's confidential IPO filing, why wearable health tech is having a moment, and whether the growth story holds up once everyone who wants one already has one. Then it's on to Fidelity's Q1 2026 retirement analysis, which shows record high contributions to retirement accounts while the K-shaped economy quietly widens. Robinhood's new AI trading tool gets the full treatment, including whether letting a bot make credit card purchases is innovation or a liability waiting to happen. And AJ has thoughts on Phoebe Gates closing a $35.5 million oversubscribed Series A while calling herself a scrappy startup.

El episodio 117 llegó con números que no se pueden creer y drama en las grandes ligas del tech. Leopold Aschenbrenner tiene 24 años, convirtió 250 millones en 5.5 billones en un solo año apostando a la infraestructura de AI. Ahora hizo el giro que nadie esperaba: apostó contra Nvidia, Oracle y TSMC con puts masivos. Su mensaje es claro — el mercado está a punto de explotar. SpaceX presentó su S1. Musk se declaró CEO de por vida con el 85% de los votos y solo pone el 5% de la compañía en el mercado. El IPO más esperado de la historia se viene en junio. Anthropic está cerca de los 50 billones de revenue este quarter, camino a ser rentable, y acaba de reclutar a un co-founder clave de OpenAI. Mientras tanto, la CFO de OpenAI se niega a falsificar los números para su propio IPO. Y de yapa: Peter Thiel jugando ajedrez en un club de barrio de Buenos Aires y la bomba legal de Anthropic contra los SPVs de secundarios que tiene a medio mercado en pánico. __Links del episodio:Peter Thiel:https://x.com/somoscorta/status/2056064226033127752?s=20https://x.com/lex_node/status/2053845294731641076?s=20The price of time: www.goodreads.com/book/show/61241469-the-price-of-time__Tenes alguna pregunta?

Steve D's been looking at the S1 and it's fair to say he isn't hugely impressed. It's fair to say that it's hard to make the numbers add up without some very bullish assumptions. But is looking at numbers the right way to think about this one?FTSE 100 growth machine Diploma keeps going from strength to strength. 15% organic growth is up there with anything we've seen.Steve W, however, is a bit wary.

What if loneliness isn't just an emotion… but one of the most dangerous biological threats to your health? In this deeply personal and scientifically explosive solo episode, Darin opens up about something he recently realized in his own life: despite being surrounded by people, he was lonely. But what began as an emotional realization quickly became a deep dive into some of the most shocking research he's ever uncovered, showing that chronic loneliness may increase the risk of heart disease, dementia, cancer, autoimmune dysfunction, accelerated aging, and early death. From inflammatory gene expression and cortisol dysregulation to oxytocin, vulnerability, and the collapse of real human connection in the digital age, this episode reveals why loneliness may be the most overlooked "fatal convenience" of modern life, and how vulnerability may be the medicine. What You'll Learn Why loneliness is a biological crisis, not just an emotional feeling The shocking link between loneliness and heart disease, dementia, and early death Why the quality of your relationships is the #1 predictor of long-term health How loneliness activates inflammatory genes inside your body The role of cortisol, sleep disruption, and chronic stress in social isolation Why social media and "surface-level connection" are replacing real intimacy The connection between loneliness and Alzheimer's disease How oxytocin and genuine connection reduce inflammation Why vulnerability is the gateway to meaningful relationships Practical ways to create deeper connection starting today Chapters 00:00:33 – Sponsor: the truth about the exploding NAD supplement market 00:01:04 – Why supplement verification and transparency matter 00:02:17 – Opening: Darin admits something deeply personal 00:02:30 – "I realized recently… I'm lonely" 00:02:37 – The difference between being surrounded by people vs being truly known 00:03:06 – Loneliness as a biological experience, not just an emotional one 00:03:27 – The hidden risks: heart disease, dementia, cancer, early death 00:03:45 – Why this is not fringe science 00:04:13 – The most important predictor of long-term health 00:04:34 – Why relationship QUALITY matters more than quantity 00:05:06 – The global loneliness epidemic 00:05:11 – U.S. Surgeon General advisory on loneliness 00:05:39 – Loneliness declared a public health crisis 00:06:02 – 50% of Americans report measurable loneliness 00:06:22 – "A generational collapse of connection" 00:06:30 – 29% of adults have no close friends 00:06:40 – Face-to-face interactions dramatically declining 00:07:01 – The UK, Japan, and Australia loneliness crisis initiatives 00:07:32 – The paradox: hyperconnected but deeply isolated 00:08:04 – Loneliness as a biological alarm signal 00:08:31 – What loneliness actually looks like in modern life 00:08:42 – The lonely CEO, the unseen mother, the isolated social media addict 00:09:31 – "Perceived social isolation" and why the brain can't tell the difference 00:10:21 – Meta-analysis of 3.4 million people 00:10:55 – Loneliness vs obesity and smoking risk comparisons 00:11:18 – The biology of loneliness begins 00:11:50 – NF-kB: inflammatory gene activation explained 00:12:33 – How loneliness changes gene expression 00:13:02 – Chronic inflammation and disease pathways 00:13:21 – Cortisol, sleep disruption, and immune dysfunction 00:14:00 – How loneliness affects brain repair and amyloid plaque clearing 00:14:21 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:18:02 – The Alzheimer's and dementia connection 00:18:25 – Loneliness as a major modifiable dementia risk factor 00:18:57 – Cortisol, neuroinflammation, and brain degeneration 00:19:16 – The hippocampus physically shrinking in lonely people 00:19:27 – Social media as a "fatal convenience" 00:19:57 – The oxytocin economy: connection as medicine 00:20:15 – Oxytocin as one of the body's strongest anti-inflammatory molecules 00:20:30 – HeartMath research: emotional synchronization between people 00:20:48 – "You regulate each other's biology" 00:21:07 – The real barrier: vulnerability 00:21:32 – Darin's recent experiences with radical vulnerability 00:21:54 – Conversations with family, ex-partners, and loved ones 00:22:35 – Brené Brown's research on connection and worthiness 00:23:14 – The "depth audit" exercise 00:23:42 – Reaching out, expressing appreciation, and owning your emotions 00:24:01 – Sacred hours: spending time without phones 00:24:13 – Questions that create real intimacy 00:24:30 – Darin's emotional conversation with his brother 00:25:03 – Protecting yourself from social media disconnection 00:25:20 – Becoming a source of joy and connection in everyday life 00:25:25 – Darin reflects on seven years of subtle loneliness 00:25:48 – The shift from surface conversations to meaningful connection 00:26:01 – "If you want love, give love" 00:26:19 – Final message: generate the connection you want to receive 00:26:22 – Closing thoughts and outro Thank You to Our Sponsors Truniagen: Go to www.truniagen.com and use code DARIN20 at checkout for 20% off Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

It isn't failure. It's a biological signal telling you that something essential is missing. And in a world addicted to surface-level connection, the real medicine may simply be this: vulnerability, presence, eye contact, honesty, and the courage to let yourself truly be seen."

They Banned A Dictionary Definition. Here's Why.Dr. Bryan Ardis returns. 90 minutes of the stuff they really don't want you to see.This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your health regimen.Nine months ago I sat down with Dr. Bryan Ardis and we did an interview that generated somewhere north of 140 million views across my platforms.The Australian government's TGA (the equivalent of the FDA in the US) sued Meta to have a nine-minute clip removed from Facebook inside Australia. The clip wasn't about vaccines. It wasn't about COVID treatment protocols. It wasn't about anything you'd expect regulators to lose sleep over.It was about a dictionary definition.The word virus.That clip had an average watch time of two minutes and fifteen seconds on a three-minute video. People watched it almost all the way through. Over and over. Because it cracked something open in them that couldn't be shut again.So when Bryan reached out and said he had more to share, I cleared my calendar.What followed was 90 minutes that I believe will change the way you see your food, your medicine, your government, and your own body.Here's what we covered.Why That Clip Had To Come DownThe word virus is not an English word. It is Latin. For four centuries, from the 1600s through to the modern era, it has carried one definition.A poison. Especially of snakes. Venom.That is not conspiracy. That is etymology. You can look it up yourself in any pre-modern dictionary.Now here is why that single fact is so threatening to the pharmaceutical industry.From the moment you are born, you are told you need vaccines to protect you from viruses. In America, within 24 hours of birth, before your baby can leave the hospital, it receives a hepatitis B vaccine. Bryan points out that the medical profession's own explanation for how hepatitis B spreads is through unprotected sex with multiple partners or sharing syringes. He asks a reasonable question: how many newborns in a hospital nursery are doing either of those things?The deeper issue is this. If a virus is venom, and that is what the word has always meant, then the narrative that viruses spread between people falls apart completely. Venom doesn't transmit person to person through the air or through contact. It has to be introduced. Deliberately. Through a delivery mechanism.Once you know that, you stop asking "how do I avoid catching this?" and you start asking "how is this getting into me, and who benefits?"That is why the TGA made the call.The Paris Research Nobody Talked AboutIn April 2020, four months into the pandemic, two researchers in Paris ordered spike proteins of COVID from China and the UK. They wanted to understand a paradox being reported around the world by scientists and doctors. Smokers appeared to be largely immune to COVID symptoms.They ran the proteins through a DNA sequencing machine to find what they were identical to in nature.The result was what Bryan describes as an aha moment. The two spike proteins, S1 and S2, were found to be identical to venom proteins from two snakes. The King Cobra toxin and Bungarotoxin from the Bungarus snake in China. Both are classified as neurotoxins. Both specifically target the nerves that control breathing, which explains the respiratory symptoms. They also bind to nerves responsible for taste, smell, hearing, and memory. That explains every other major COVID symptom.The switches these venom proteins target on your cells are called alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The N in that name stands for nicotine. Tobacco users already had nicotine occupying those receptors, keeping cells functioning. The venom proteins couldn't get a foothold. That's why smokers weren't getting sick.That's why four weeks after Bryan released this research in his Watch the Water documentary in 2021, Australia, New Zealand, America, and Canada held a meeting and announced a global health agenda to ban all nicotine and tobacco products by 2030.The 26-Year SetupBryan walks through what he believes is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle. It starts in 1994.In April of that year, the seven CEOs of America's largest tobacco companies were summoned before Congress. Under oath, under threat of perjury, every single one of them declared that nicotine is not addictive.Four months later, the FDA published a warning that nicotine is highly addictive and mandated warning labels on all tobacco products.In 1994, 56% of American adults used tobacco products. By 2020, that number was down to 11%. Bryan's argument is that this 26-year propaganda campaign was not accidental. It was a deliberate reduction in the population's natural protection against the biological event that was coming.By the time COVID arrived, 90% of the American population had no nicotine in their system. 90% of people were, in his words, ripe and ready.The Tobacco Panacea They BuriedHere is something the medical profession has known for centuries but does not advertise.From 1492 to 1860, the medical profession maintained what is called the Panacea Doctrine. A formal list of what was considered the single cure for all human diseases in any given era. For four hundred years, there was only one plant ever given the designation "panacea of all panaceas."The tobacco plant.Bryan has the medical textbooks. He has the case studies. Tobacco has been published by conventional medicine to be antibacterial, antifungal, anti-parasitic, antiviral, anti-Alzheimer's, antihypertensive, and powerfully anti-inflammatory. The cardiac glycosides in tobacco (the nutrients that keep arteries elastic and blood pressure stable) are the same compounds cardiologists now prescribe in synthetic form as prescription drugs.Ozempic, the second highest-revenue drug in the world last year, is Gila monster lizard venom. Bryan points out that tobacco has been published in medical journals for 400 years as a hunger regulator and obesity preventative. Every beta cell in your pancreas that produces insulin requires nicotine to activate it. No nicotine, no proper insulin release. That is not his theory. It is published.They cannot patent the tobacco plant. They can patent synthetic versions of what is inside it. That is why it had to be demonised.What's In Your Food That Nobody Told You AboutThis was the part that stopped me cold.Bryan shared a 2021 research study titled Applications of Venom Biodiversity in Agriculture. He pulled up a chart mapping five sources of venom being deliberately inserted into the seeds of genetically modified crops worldwide. Snake venom, spider venom, scorpion venom, bee venom, and wasp venom.The crops on the list: melons, cabbage, soybeans, lettuce, beans, celery, rice, stevia, potatoes, wheat, peppers, tomatoes, corn, watermelons, radishes, squash, cucumbers, canola oil, sunflower. The companies holding the patents are agricultural biotech giants. Monsanto, now owned by Bayer, holds the majority.The justification given in the research paper is that if venom is infused into every part of a plant from seed to fruit, insects that eat the plant die from the venom. No need to spray pesticides externally. The paper states that "agriculture, environment, and society are benefiting from this use of venom biodiversity."Bryan's question is simple. If this benefits society, why has no one been told?The number of patents for venom-laced crop seeds grew 490% between 2002 and 2004 alone. It has continued growing. There has been no independent research published on what those venoms do to humans consuming them long term.What does venom do in the human body? It depletes zinc and copper from every cell. Glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup, also owned by Monsanto) does the same thing to the soil. That means the plants you eat are already stripped of the minerals you need before the venom in the seed adds another layer of depletion. The result is a population that is both mineral-deficient and being low-dose poisoned daily through the food supply.Gusty's StoryI want to share this because it needs to be heard.A man named Gusty jumped onto one of my Facebook Lives in mid-January. Four hundred pounds. Stage four lung cancer. Six months to live. Forty-nine years old, six kids, nine grandchildren.He didn't want chemotherapy. We talked. I encouraged him to make a declaration. Not medical advice, just a commitment to his own healing. He got on soursop, ivermectin, nicotine patches, and the carnivore diet. He switched from 60 commercial cigarettes a day to 20 American Spirit organic cigarettes because he couldn't afford the full 60.Twelve weeks later he FaceTimed me from his oncologist's office. Sixty pounds down. Cancer free.Bryan's explanation: commercial tobacco contains 599 FDA-approved chemical additives including arsenic. That's what causes the harm, not the plant itself. Organic tobacco is antibacterial, antiparasitic, and antiviral. Nicotine occupies the same receptors that venom blocks, releasing the grip on cells and allowing the body to shed excess tissue. The carnivore diet stopped feeding whatever parasitic or cancerous mechanisms were running. The body did the rest.In 20 years of clinical practice, Bryan found 80% of cancers were actually parasitic infections. Since COVID, roughly half are parasitic and half appear to be driven by venom proteins, either from the virus itself or from components he identifies in the COVID...

Foundations of Amateur Radio The other day fellow amateur Randall VK6WR raised an interesting question. Using his HP 8920A RF Communications Test Set, which you might recall from our adventures in measuring radio harmonic power in 2023, that report is on my Github repository, but I digress, Randall wondered if the signal strength he was seeing on several radios were the same and discovered that in fact they were not. It made Randall ask who set the standard and following on from that, what does this look like in the real world? In 2014, episode 149 of the series "What use is an f-call?", I published an article titled "The simple S-unit". In it I referred to a standard for S-units defined in 1981. Unfortunately, I didn't provide any references, so, armed with more than a decade extra experience, Randall encouraged me to investigate. Twenty seconds into my search, I discovered IARU Region 1 Technical Recommendation R.1, which has four statements related to the topic at hand. Under the title "STANDARDISATION OF S-METER READINGS" it states that: 1. One S-unit corresponds to a signal level difference of 6 dB, 2. On the bands below 30 MHz a meter deviation of S-9 corresponds to an available power of -73 dBm from a continuous wave signal generator connected to the receiver input terminals, 3. On the bands above 144 MHz this available power shall be -93 dBm, 4. The metering system shall be based on quasi-peak detection with an attack time of 10 msec +/- 2 msec and a decay time constant of at least 500 msec. So. Job done, right? Yeah, nah, not so much. The web page I quoted from is linked from the Wikipedia S-meter entry and was archived in 2005 and at the time existed on a Swedish domain in the home directory of Kjell SM7GVF. The page has two additional interesting things, the words "Brighton 1981" and "Torremolinos 1990", both of which refer to IARU conferences. The reports for these meetings are online. In searching for any reference to the definition of the S-unit, the 1990 report shows that resolution "83-1" had the status of "Action completed", whatever that means. The 1981 conference document has all manner of interesting references, including "Log Forms and Summaries for International Contest Use", "Meteor Scatter qso procedure" and the definition of the standard way to determine Morse Code speeds using the word "PARIS" followed by a 7 bit word space, to name three. The one we're interested in is called "BM/134 - S-Meter Standards", appearing on page 33 and 34 of the 1981 report. It's a photocopy, so you can see the text from other pages superimposed. I'm making this observation because this is essentially a standards document, intended to be adhered to by industry and the amateur community. It gets better, or rather .. worse. The text that is referenced by Wikipedia uses numbers for the four elements, where BM/134 uses letters. The third item in BM/134 says that it applies for "bands above 30 MHz", but the document I just quoted appears to be unique in saying that it applies to "bands above 144 MHz". The fourth item, dealing with the way that the meter responds has been altered on BM/134. The text "+/- 2 ms and a decay time" are in a different font and at an angle. Worth noting that the change includes "ms" twice, rather than "msec" as the unit for milliseconds used elsewhere. Searching for a phrase within the standard, I discovered the Region 1 HF Manager Handbook v7.01, which appears to include the S-meter standard in chapter 11.1.2, but closer inspection reveals that the fourth item is missing, the one about quasi-peak detection. This is significant because the S-meter standard is based on a CW signal, not an SSB signal, which fluctuates. There's no reference as to where or when this was removed or by whom. These changes are repeated in subsequent versions of the HF Managers Handbook. There's other differences too, instead of using millivolt and microvolt as shown in the original BM/134 standard table, all units have been converted to millivolt for no discernible reason. The new table, including typo, is also copied everywhere. While we're at it, the original standard contains the letters "V", "E", "R", "O", "N" at the top. They don't show in the HF Managers Handbook either. This is curious, since last time I checked, those letters signify an organisation that at least some here will recognise, the "Vereniging voor Experimenteel Radio Onderzoek in Nederland", known to the the people who don't speak fluent Dutch, as the peak body for amateur radio in the Netherlands, VERON. Searching its website does not reveal their contribution to this standards document, which I have to say, is par for the course, much of our amateur radio history is poorly documented or archived, if at all, something which I've spent plenty of my time attempting to remedy over more than a decade, one article at a time. Moving on. The phrase I mentioned earlier bears reading out in its entirety. From BM/134: "We hope that the current recommendation will be followed by all equipment manufacturers, so that in a not too distant future one will know how to interpret the strength report of the other station." It goes on to say: "Societies should advise as much as possible their members about equipment manufacturers adhering to this recommendation and shall try to avoid publication of receiver designs which do not in principle use the recommended standards." Which brings me to you. What have you done lately about this? It's only been 45 years. Perhaps it's time to implement this? I can tell you that preliminary results show that the S1 level sensitivity associated with the radios that Randall showed me are reporting S1 when really they should be reporting about S4. You might wonder why this is the case? Calibration appears to be the underlying cause. While S9 itself is variable in accuracy, as-in some radios are more accurately close to -73 dBm, others are consistently 5 dB shy of that. When an S4 signal is reported as S1, then the 6 dB step size is not correctly implemented. Similarly, when an S9+20 is reported by a signal that's only 16 dB stronger than S9, there's more fudging going on. The differences between a signal with and without preamp are also worth noting as being inconsistent. In other words, the level and steps associated with S-meter units are all over the place, which is interesting, since the authors of the standard already alluded to this when 45 years ago they wrote: "Simple means for calibration of at least the 6dB level ratio should be published." While we're digging for causes. Why is there not a standards library associated with the IARU, where documents like BM/134 exist and with it their current level of application? Before you tell me, money, I'd point out that in 1981, IARU Region 1 had 263,945.88 dollars, or francs, guilders, pounds or glass beads in the bank, it's unclear which, since there's no units stated. At the 1990 conference IARU Region 2 had a reported net worth of $150,000 with $40,000 annual income and Region 3 reported that "its finances are also sound". How do I know? That's in those conference documents too. Curiously, the 1981 report states that "when presenting the 1981 and subsequent accounts the Treasurer would also prepare a brief report which would explain the reasons for items of such expenditure for which the purpose was not obvious." I wonder what happened to those explanations? So, what is the current status of BM/134 and what are the legal implications of me publishing it on my Github page? While we're at it. I realise that I can "fix" the Wikipedia page, but where do I point it at? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Dans cet épisode solo, je reviens sur une position que j'ai longtemps défendue, celle de tempérer face au catastrophisme ambiant sur l'IA, et j'explique pourquoi les preuves qui s'accumulent depuis quelques mois m'obligent à regarder les choses autrement. Pas pour rejoindre la panique, mais parce qu'une position qui ne s'interroge jamais devient une posture, pas une analyse.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de la contradiction structurelle au cœur du capitalisme numérique : l'IA générative détruit les emplois cognitifs de niveau intermédiaire, précisément ceux qui constituent la base de consommation sur laquelle repose l'économie. J'ai questionné les travaux de Nick Dyer-Witheford, Karen Hao, Emad Mostaque et Anis Rahman sur ce que ça signifie concrètement, au-delà des chiffres de Goldman Sachs et des fuites internes d'Anthropic. Et parce que je déteste laisser les gens dans un état d'impuissance intellectuelle pire qu'avant la lecture, je finis sur des exemples concrets, locaux, qui montrent qu'une autre IA est possible même si les rapports de forces sont pour l'instant très déséquilibrés. Le tout pour vous redonner envie du futur bien sur :)CITATIONS MARQUANTES"Il y a un mot pour décrire un système qui détruit méthodiquement sa propre base de clients. Ce mot n'est pas 'innovation' mais 'suicide'.""C'est la boîte qui construit les outils qui sonne elle-même l'alarme sur leur impact. Ce n'est pas un philosophe marxiste.""Ils ont entraîné leurs propres remplaçants." (sur les travailleurs d'annotation de Nairobi, Manille, Lahore)"Regarde qui te chuchote à l'oreille chaque jour, et demande-toi de qui c'est l'intérêt." (Emad Mostaque)"Une position qui ne s'interroge jamais elle-même, c'est une posture, pas une analyse."IDÉES CENTRALES 1. Le contrat de Ford est rompu, par design Henry Ford payait ses ouvriers pour qu'ils puissent acheter ses voitures : le capital paie le travail, le travail consomme, la production nourrit le capital. L'IA générative rompt ce cercle en rendant le capital structurellement indépendant du travail humain. Ce n'est pas un bug du système, c'est une conséquence logique de sa propre optimisation poussée à l'extrême. C'est important parce que cela remet en cause le mécanisme de stabilisation automatique sur lequel les démocraties libérales se sont appuyées depuis Keynes.2. L'IA s'attaque précisément aux emplois qui étaient censés être la solution Contrairement aux révolutions industrielles précédentes qui frappaient d'abord les peu qualifiés, l'IA générative cible le travail cognitif intermédiaire : analyse, rédaction, code, diagnostic, comptabilité, marketing. Ces emplois constituaient la colonne vertébrale des classes moyennes éduquées. Ce sont eux qui avaient fait les études recommandées pour s'adapter. Si eux ne peuvent pas, qui peut ?3. La disruption du mécanisme de relance économique Quand les banques centrales baissent les taux pour relancer l'emploi, les entreprises recrutent désormais des agents IA, pas des travailleurs humains. Le lien entre capital et emploi se rompt pour la première fois depuis deux siècles. Et contrairement à toutes les crises précédentes, l'IA ne devient pas moins intelligente après une récession.4. La broligarchy et la capture réglementaire Les "Magnificent Seven" contrôlent 90,2% des modèles d'IA notables mondiaux. En 2024, les entreprises privées ont investi 109 milliards de dollars dans l'IA, contre 5,3 milliards d'investissement public. Sam Altman se pose en défenseur de la régulation en public et fait du lobby pour l'affaiblir en coulisses. L'administration Trump a inclus un moratoire de dix ans sur toute régulation étatique de l'IA. C'est une capture de la démocratie, pas seulement une concentration de marché.5. L'IA coloniale et la souveraineté cognitive L'IA ne transmet pas seulement des informations, elle transmet les valeurs et le cadre moral de ceux qui l'ont construite. Quand 90% des modèles viennent de Silicon Valley, la question de la souveraineté cognitive devient aussi urgente que la souveraineté économique. Et le "colonialisme par l'IA" s'exerce aussi dans le sud global, où des travailleurs ont littéralement entraîné les outils qui ont ensuite concurrencé leur propre travail.6. L'IA-vélo contre l'IA-fusée Karen Hao propose une distinction utile : l'IA-fusée, paradigme dominant à des centaines de milliards de paramètres visant l'AGI, et l'IA-vélo, des outils à échelle humaine pour des besoins spécifiques. Les architectures techniques sont les mêmes. Ce qui diffère, c'est le principe directeur. Des exemples comme Te Hiku Media en Nouvelle-Zélande, Chattanooga dans le Tennessee ou le modèle S1 développé pour 70 dollars prouvent que le choix existe.7. La destruction créatrice a un problème de rythme L'argument de Schumpeter tient sur le fond : chaque vague technologique crée plus qu'elle ne détruit. Mais il bute sur le rythme. La machine à vapeur s'est étalée sur des décennies. L'IA générative frappe en années. Si le pouvoir d'achat des classes moyennes disparaît avant que de nouveaux emplois émergent, qui consomme les produits que les entreprises continuent de produire ?QUESTIONS DE L'ÉPISODEEst-ce que ma position rassurante sur l'IA reflétait une lecture lucide, ou était-elle aussi une façon d'éviter une conclusion que je n'avais pas envie de regarder en face ?Le capitalisme peut-il fonctionner sans consommateurs, et les consommateurs peuvent-ils exister sans travailleurs ?Qu'est-ce qui différencie fondamentalement l'IA générative des révolutions industrielles précédentes en termes d'impact sur l'emploi ?Pourquoi l'argument de la "destruction créatrice" de Schumpeter bute-t-il cette fois sur quelque chose de structurellement différent ?Comment fonctionne concrètement la capture réglementaire par les grandes entreprises tech, et qu'est-ce que l'exemple de Sam Altman révèle sur ce phénomène ?Qu'est-ce que le sort des travailleurs d'annotation du sud global dit de la nature systémique de l'IA capitaliste ?Pourquoi le mécanisme de relance économique des banques centrales risque-t-il de ne plus fonctionner dans un monde d'IA générative ?Qu'est-ce que la distinction entre "IA-fusée" et "IA-vélo" change concrètement à la façon dont on peut construire et déployer ces technologies ?Comment des initiatives locales comme Te Hiku Media ou Chattanooga incarnent-elles une alternative crédible au paradigme dominant ?Quelle est votre part personnelle dans cette reconfiguration, en tant qu'individu, professionnel, citoyen ?RÉFÉRENCES CITÉESLivres et rapportsInhuman Power : Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Capitalism de Nick Dyer-Witheford (2019, + Cybernetic Circulation Complex, 2026, Verso).

For this episode, we are joined by Dr Shingisai Chando, a published academic and Research Fellow of the POCHE Indigenous Health Centre at the University of Sydney to unpack the question: what does it mean for healthcare systems to be culturally safe? A big question, but one Shingisai tackles with detail and depth. Dr Chando talks to us about how cultural competence changes in different health contexts and across different communities but emphasises the underlying issues of racism in the workplace, as well as the importance of trust, belonging, and true community engagement to build trust.

Midnight Meanderings - Ep 38 SOLO QUEUE DISCORD now available:  https://discord.gg/nXQVqERcSU Show Notes  Welcome to Episode 38! – 2:13         Time to pin you down and force you to listen to what I think of Midnight so far.  Or maybe just entertain you while you work or commute or mow the lawn or whatever it is you are doing.  Thanks for bringing Solo Queue along!  By the way, the countdown checklist idea on a podcast on the day that the U.S. launched four astronauts towards the Moon is sheer coincidence.  In fact, my intro preview came out to Patreon supporters days ago.  Serendipity, baby!   News – 6:37 SQ Socials news Horde neighborhood – Desolate Collective – finally figured out how to add members beyond those on the original charter; not great for momentum, but the key was, as I suspected, strip down to no add-ons and the invite button on the roster actually functioned properly! The test was Gershom and she is the first new member; reach out in game or out if you want to move your Horde house to the Desolate Collective The SQ Guild Solo Together is strong and growing. You can find it in the Alliance Guild Finder, but it is open to both factions.  We have an Alliance side Guild Neighborhood that is open to members of the guild.  If you want to join, just reach out and we will get you an invite, Horde or Alliance.  It is a bunch of cool people of many different backgrounds hanging out, checking in on each other, all very casual.  New Discord link: https://discord.gg/N86fhRkDem  If you are good people, come check it out.  I am @sweeperdave on Discord and of course, soloqueuewow on everything else out there. GT change/delay – yeah, life finds a way into all of my plans; GT on hold, but will return; also quietly on hold is this year's 64-competitor single-elimination tournament among Warcraft characters will take a year off. Rufus is available, Habitat for Humanity; through May 12; The mini war hammer in the mouth is amazing. Music video/marketing from WoW and the musician Aurora is fantastic S1 – what is open, what is left? A lot of S1 is now open with the arrival of M+ keystones last week and the Darkway delve. For raids, the Voidspire and the Dreamrift both opened on Mythic difficulty.  All other diff of the Dreamrift, the one-boss raid, opened the previous week.  For the Voidspire, LFR wing 2 is available, as is the as-yet-unimproved Story Mode version. Coming this week with the March 31 reset is wing 3 of LFR for VS along with the Normal, Heroic, and Mythic versions of the 3rd raid of Midnight, March on Quel'Danas. This is a 2-boss raid.  The Raid Finder/LFR and SM versions arrive the following week on April 7.  And the final delve, the Parhelion Plaza opens this week as well.  New nemesis for the season is Nullaeus, and Valeera Sanguinar is here to help you through all of the Delves. A Race to World First update? On Solo Queue? 9 bosses from all 3 of the raids, with of course the final 2 bosses taking the stage on Tuesday with the launch of the March on Quel'Danas. As of the time of recording, there are three familiar names that have cleared the first two raids and are awaiting the penultimate boss: Liquid, Echo, and Method.  Six more teams are trying to take down the final boss, identified as the Crown of the Cosmos in the Adventure Guide. Spring sale on Bnet – pets and mounts and packs of stuff, along with certain game services Twitch drop is the Cuddly Void Grrgle; before April 23; watch 4 hours of WoW on Twitch 0.5 preview of what is interesting No release date yet, but an 8 week cycle would be April 28, so there is still plenty of time. The Voidforge will help to upgrade gear. That said, the Nebulous Voidcores that you will need to upgrade gear come from M+ d, raids, Bountiful Delves, and Nightmare level Prey Hunts.  More open-world activities launch with 12.0.5 with Void Assaults comprised of Void Strkes and Void Incursions. Another activity is Ritual Sites, a tiered scenario that can be tackled solo or with a party of up to five players. Add the underwater fishing activity called Abyss Anglers and it seems like there will be a lot of options to freshen up your routine midway through Season 1 of Midnight.   Class Identity Challenge – 27:45 On Azeroth Morning Radio, Jibbs described his connection to the Paladin class to his own life and that got me thinking about why I identify with my favorite class, Druid of course.    Hero's Call Co-Opted – 36:33 And continuing with AMR-adjacent content, I low-key (as my 9th grade students say) stole the Hero's Call Board segment from them for a good reason, to highlight someone awesome in the WoW community.   “What Have You Done Lately?” – 53:56        Honestly, not enough Warcraft, but both Haranir characters have been created bringing the active roster to 69.  My oldest active character, and possibly my first character, is the first Horde character to start an expansion for me, and he has hit 90 and already wiped once in the “Story” Mode raid.  Oof.   Main Topic:  My Midnight Experience – 1:29:19 Walking through the leveling campaign going through my thoughts on the zones, storylines, music, graphics, and selected systems in Midnight. Silvermoon City – 1:39:22 Eversong Woods – 1:45:20 Arator's Journey – 1:55:22 Zul'Aman – 1:59:48 Harandar – 2:07:41 Voidstorm – 2:17:40   Closing Thoughts – 2:25:26 Wrapping it all up, including my brief thoughts on the so-called “Story” Mode raid for the Voidspire and a potential reveal of the final boss…   Outro – 2:37:10 Thanks to all of you for your patience in waiting for this episode, Blizzard for the amazing music and sound, to OGRE for intro/outro music, my lovely and supportive wife, my family, and YOU for listening.

This week, the girls rewatch Charmed S5E6: The Eyes Have It, aka Are We Poor? An episode feels like a gentrified S1 episode without the budget. Thankfully, the girls' favorite story editors are back to provide insight on Phoebe Halliwell's character development. And Tobin Bell from the SAW series brings the magic that saves the episode.In the pop culture, R.E.P.O.R.T. Gamer Nelle continues her Pokémon Pokopia obsession and finally follows up on Resident Evil 9's gameplay. Our professional TV watcher, Rae, loads up on crime dramas Will Trent and Daredevil. She takes a movie break to catch up on the movies she wanted to see during the holiday season.Don't miss "Black Girl Charmed," where two unmedicated Black weirdos discuss Halliwell hijinks.

Our look back at Saturday Night Live's original era has come to an end. We wrap up our final episode of The Early Years of SNL, looking back at all five seasons of the original era. We revisit the journey the show took from a trying-it-out-in-real-time “variety” show (S1) to being a truly experimental and edgy platform (S2), exploding into a cultural juggernaut (S3&4), and eventual fall from grace (S5).Looking back, we remember some of our favorite hosts, musical guests, special guests, and pre-tapes. Of course, we also call out what we didn't like. We discuss what surprised us, disappointed us, and highlight our favorite forgotten and underrated sketches (we did a whole episode on best bits).To bring it all to a close, we select our best and worst episodes of the original era. And, we finally answer the question everyone's been asking – “What comes next?” Sort of.Thanks to everyone for listening. “Goodnight, and goodbye.”---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!And follow us on social media: Twitter: @NR4PTProject Instagram: @nr4ptprojectBluesky: @nr4ptproject.bsky.socialFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

Send a textIn this special episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav welcomes back Madhavi Gavini, founder of Droplette—one of the earliest science-forward brands featured on the show. What once felt like a radically different approach to skincare technology now feels increasingly relevant as the industry shifts toward biologics, regenerative ingredients, and delivery science. The conversation revisits Droplette's origins and explores why effective delivery may be the missing piece in modern skincare innovation.Gavini's journey into skincare began far outside the beauty industry. With a background in pharmaceutical development, she spent years designing therapies for pediatric diseases, where she encountered one of medicine's most persistent challenges: delivery. Even when researchers identify the therapeutic molecule that could help treat a condition, getting that molecule into the correct layer of skin is often the hardest part. That realization became the foundation of Droplette's technology, originally developed alongside MIT-affiliated researchers to enable large molecules to reach skin tissue without needles or barrier injury.The Droplette device generates high-velocity, submicron droplets capable of moving ingredients past the stratum corneum—the skin's protective outer barrier—allowing molecules far larger than traditional topical ingredients to access viable layers of skin. The implications extend beyond cosmetics, with ongoing collaborations exploring delivery for antibiotics, gene therapies, and other advanced biologics.The episode also dives into the science behind exosomes—one of the most talked-about yet misunderstood areas in regenerative skincare. Gavini explains what exosomes are, why sourcing and stability matter, and why many topical exosome products degrade or fail to penetrate the skin barrier. Double Board-Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Dan Belkin, also shares his clinical perspective on how exosomes are currently used in dermatology and why reliable sourcing, cold-chain handling, and effective delivery systems are essential for maintaining biological activity.Listen to the full episode to hear Madhavi Gavini explain how Droplette is bringing pharmaceutical-grade delivery science into the future of regenerative skincare.Use discount code 'ANARCHY' to get the Exosome Starter Set on subscription for just $349SHOP DROPLETTE1.Quek BL, Srinivas RL, Gavini MP.
