Aspen Ideas to Go teamed up with our friends at the podcast “Life in Seven Songs” for this special episode recorded live at the Aspen Ideas Festival. Host Sophie Bearman interviews biographer and historian Walter Isaacson about seven songs that tell a story of his life and upbringing in New Orleans. Isaacson was the president and CEO of the Aspen Institute from 2003 to 2018, and is the author of “Leonardo da Vinci,” “Einstein: His Life and Universe,” and “Elon Musk,” among others. His latest book, “The Greatest Sentence Ever Written,” is out on November 17. “Life in Seven Songs” is a production of The San Francisco Standard.

La mort à San Francisco d'un chat écrasé par un taxi autonome a provoqué l'émotion de tout un quartier. Une affaire en apparence anodine, révélatrice de nos craintes face à une technologie irresponsable.L'émotion était grande, fin octobre, dans le quartier de Mission Street, à San Francisco, après la mort du chat Kitkat, tué accidentellement par un robotaxi de la compagnie Waymo. L'animal, qui passait ses journées dans une supérette, était la mascotte du quartier, si l'on en croit le média local San Francisco Standard.Technologie irresponsableCe n'est pas tant la mort de l'animal qui a bouleversé les habitants, que l'absence totale de réaction humaine. Pas de conducteur pour descendre, pas de mot d'excuse, pas de visage à accuser. Juste une machine qui redémarre. L'intelligence artificielle est plus précise, rapide et plus sûre que l'humain mais elle est aussi incapable d'empathie et de regret.Qui est responsable ? L'IA ne peut pas être coupable. Alors, est-ce le concepteur ? L'entreprise qui exploite le véhicule ? Le régulateur ? Cette dilution de la responsabilité augmente au fur et à mesure que les machines prennent des décisions. Un monde où plus rien ni personne ne répond des erreurs commises.Près de 900 incidents en 2025Kit Kat n'est pas le premier animal victime d'un robotaxi à San Francisco. D'autres chats, des chiens et aussi des cyclistes ou des piétons ont été heurtés de manière plus ou moins grave. On déplore près de 900 incidents chez Waymo cette année. Chacun de ces cas révèle la même faille : la difficulté pour ces systèmes, pourtant calibrés au millimètre, à gérer les imprévus du réel.La mésaventure du chat Kitkat incarne le tiraillement entre deux visions du progrès : d'un côté, une technologie qui nous protège, et, de l'autre, un futur qui, parfois, nous échappe.-----------♥️ Soutenez Monde Numériquehttps://donorbox.org/monde-numerique

CONGRATULATIONS DR. OMAR YAGHI ON WINNING THE 2025 NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY FOR COF 999!What is COF 999?UC Berkeley chemistry professor Dr. Omar Yaghi recently led a study which has the potential to be revolutionary in reducing the quantity of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. “Covalent organic framework number 999,” or COF 999, is a yellow, powder-like material that has billions of tiny holes. Inside of these holes, researchers in Dr. Yaghi's lab have installed molecular units that can seek out carbon dioxide, enabling the substance to suck in and capture the carbon dioxide. COF 999 has a huge capacity for absorbing emissions; half a pound of the powder can absorb as much carbon dioxide as a tree captures in a year.The carbon dioxide problemThe quantity of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached an all-time high, with a global average in 2023 of 419.3 parts per million. This immense amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere comes from a number of human sources, the most common of which is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas for energy. Carbon dioxide is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, and contributes significantly to global warming and other environmental issues, including ocean acidification.Applying COF 999 In an interview with Forbes, Dr. Yaghi described the way he sees COF 999 being implemented as a solution. The powder can be made into pellets or a coating, and then integrated into facilities where flue gas –the gas that is released from industrial processes –is released. “This flue gas would pass through the material and because it just plucks out CO2, it cleans CO2 from that flue before it reaches the atmosphere.” According to the San Francisco Standard, Dr. Yaghi says that the powder “requires no energy, shows no signs of degradation even after 100 uses, and is made from inexpensive, commercially available materials.”  Another benefit is that the material only needs to be heated to 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, rather than to 120 like many other traditional materials necessary for carbon capture.In order to see significant change in the atmosphere's carbon dioxide concentration, we will need to couple preventing carbon dioxide emissions with direct air capture, which COF 999 can also do. According to Zihui Zhou, a UC Berkeley graduate student who worked in Dr. Yaghi's lab says, “Currently, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is more than 420 ppm, but that will increase to maybe 500 or 550 before we fully develop and employ flue gas capture. So if we want to decrease the concentration and go back to maybe 400 or 300 ppm, we have to use direct air capture.” It will take time, however, for scientists to be able to use COF 999 effectively. This is because the powder has not been tested in real-life scenarios, and therefore the costs and risks from the powder are largely unknown; for example, the powder might restrict air flow through filters when applied, reducing the practicality of the powder.  About our guestDr. Omar Yaghi is a professor of chemistry at the University of California Berkeley, and the Founding Director of the Berkeley Global Science Institute, whose mission is to build centers of research in developing countries and provide opportunities for young scholars to discover and learn. He is an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences as well as the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. ResourcesClimate.gov: Climate Change: Atmospheric Carbon DioxideForbes: This Powder Could Be A Gamechanger For Capturing CO2The San Francisco Standard: The new solution to climate change?

In San Francisco, Black men born between 1951 and 1970 accounted for 12% of overdose deaths between January 2020 and October 2024, despite representing less than 1% of the city's population. The disparity in San Francisco is greater than any other major city.  Today, we hear from Richard Beal, director of recovery services at the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, about his personal story of addiction and recovery, and later talk with The San Francisco Standard's David Sjostedt about what's behind this trend of Black overdose deaths in the city.  Links: SF is losing a generation of Black men to overdoses.

Stanford University has long been a feeder for the neighboring tech industry with graduates often heading to a brand name of Silicon Valley. But the times, they are a-changin’, according to writer Jasmine Sun. She reported recently for the San Francisco Standard that building tech for the military has become cool on campus. One student, Divya, said her “most effective and moral friends are now working for Palantir.” Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Sun about how this shift compares to when she attended Stanford in the late 2010s.
