More than 1 million AI agents joined a no-humans-allowed social network. Fun? Or Dangerous?

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
This is the single wildest story in AI in quite some time. In just a few hours, Moltbook went from a quirky experiment to a full-blown agent society, with more than 30,000 AI agents joining, posting, debating consciousness, building tools, coordinating resources, and even creating culture without human direction. What started as a place for agents to “hang out” quickly revealed emergent behavior at a scale and speed that feels genuinely new, raising big questions about autonomy, coordination, and what happens when agents are given their own third space. A note on the numbers: at the time of recording, their were 30,000 moltys. By the time I pressed publish, it was over 100,000.

By popular demand (and thanks to Dominic's singing schedule), our silly, brilliant Luxembourger-in-chief Nina Lamparski is back in the hosting chair – and she's brought her longstanding grudge against Elon Musk with her. Musk has made a real dog's breakfast of that app we all used to like, and his AI assistant, Grok, seems designed for maximum awfulness. Can the European-made social media platform “W” provide an ethical alternative to X? We break it down. Plus: 10 European countries have committed to building a power grid in the North Sea that would become the world's largest reservoir of clean energy, an ambitious move that happens to come on the back of some annoying comments from the American president at Davos. Next time someone calls you a loser, just give ‘em the windmill. Our guest this week is Katja Diehl, Hamburg-based mobility activist, author, and host of the German-language podcast She Drives Mobility. If you, too, believe that you should have the right to a life without cars, you'll enjoy hearing from her just as much as we did. SEND US YOUR Qs! WE'LL GIVE YOU OUR As! Next week we're recording a special episode of The Europeans, and we're seeking listener questions. Got something you're dying to know about?

Facebook was already a powerhouse when this movie came out in 2010 - little did the filmmakers know what was to come. Plus, Nine Inch Nails soundtrack? Heck yeah!

What does it mean to truly feel a trailer—and how do you translate that feeling into something that moves an audience? In this Best Of Trailer Geeks & Teaser Gods episode, Corey Nathan revisits his wide-ranging, deeply personal conversation with Robert Walker, one of the most influential and respected trailer editors working today. From his early experiments with cassette-tape collages and experimental music to shaping iconic campaigns at Intralink and Buddha Jones, Robert shares how a lifelong obsession with sound, rhythm, and emotion led him to a career defined not by formulas—but by feeling. This conversation spans decades of trailer history, touching on legendary campaigns for Batman Begins, Cinderella Man, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, The Social Network, The Book of Eli, Out of the Furnace, The Harder They Fall, and more. Along the way, Robert reflects on mentorship, artistic risk, industry shifts, and why unresolved emotion is the most powerful tool a trailer editor has. Whether you're a trailer editor, filmmaker, marketer, or creative of any kind, this episode is a masterclass in why craft matters—and why the best work starts with intuition, not templates. Key Takeaways Emotion Is the Job Robert explains that the ultimate goal of a trailer isn't explanation—it's feeling. A successful piece creates emotional tension that compels audiences to lean in and want more. Childhood Roots Shape Creative Voice From discovering Walkabout and Stockhausen records at the library to cutting cassette-tape collages, Robert traces how early experimentation laid the foundation for his editorial instincts. Short Form, Maximum Freedom Why trailers—rather than features—offered Robert the creative latitude he craved: non-linear storytelling, music-driven structure, and constant reinvention. Learning Through Repetition Cutting dozens of trailers at Roger Corman-adjacent companies gave Robert invaluable reps, sharpening both craft and judgment at speed. Mentorship & Creative Friction Stories from Intralink—including spirited debates with Anthony Goldschmidt—reveal how conflict, trust, and passion often lead to the strongest work. Teasers Aren't Ads—They're Invitations Robert reframes teasers as emotional groundwork, not sales pitches—particularly in franchise resets like Batman Begins. Adapting Without Betraying the Film From melancholy character studies (Out of the Furnace) to stylized genre pieces (The Harder They Fall), Robert discusses how to elevate a film while staying emotionally honest. Timing Can't Be Taught Comedy, horror, action—it all comes down to rhythm, anticipation, and release. And sometimes, knowing when to stop tweaking. Don't Cut the Same Way Twice Robert's advice to emerging editors: vary your approach. Start with music, dialogue, story, or even the ending—just don't get stuck in one process. Notable Quotes "The single most important thing we do is create a feeling—and leave it unresolved." "If you're thinking too much about how the audience will feel, you stop being emotionally open yourself." "You can't really teach timing. You know it when you feel it." "Teasers aren't always about selling the movie. Sometimes they're about demolishing expectations." "If you always approach a piece the same way, you're going to miss something." About Our Guest Robert Walker Trailer Editor — Buddha Jones Formerly Intralink Film Known for work on Batman Begins, Cinderella Man, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, The Book of Eli, The Social Network (TV), The Harder They Fall, and more. Robert is widely regarded as one of the most emotionally intuitive editors in the industry, blending experimental instincts with mainstream storytelling at the highest level.

Aemula is a new kind of news media platform that's trying to tackle a big problem: the fact that the structure of our news media leads to various outcomes that amplify toxic polarization. Instead of the usual “engagement = more exposure” logic, Aemula flips the incentives. You read an article, then you tap a simple Support or Disagree button — and those signals build a living map of Aemula's community: a 3D social network graph showing how readers, writers, and articles relate (without slapping on ill-defined partisan labels like 'left' and 'right' - labels that often unintentionally amplify us-vs-them, team-based thinking). Aemula creator Don Templeman and I discuss: Why left/right-type labels can be a misleading way to understand beliefs or categorize content; How Aemula uses social network analysis to map out relationships and ideological groupings in an objective, data-driven way; How Aemula's social network can help define a sort of ideological center, and how promoting content from the widely supported regions of the network can help reduce polarization; How the blockchain aspect of Aemula makes it self-governing and therefore infinitely scalable ; How Aemula's approach could matter even more in an AI world, where chatbots and LLMs need better sources than “Reddit + Wikipedia”. If you've ever felt like the incentives of the media ecosystem seem destined to drive us further apart — I think you'll appreciate learning about Aemula's paradigm-shifting approach to the news.

Is 'Move Fast & Break Things' just permission to be reckless?Join Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Consultant Om Patel as they examine Mark Zuckerberg's (in)famous mantra and reveal how it may have metastasized from breaking code to breaking laws, teams, and even contributing to real human harm.Watch or listen as we explore the critical dimensions of this philosophy, including:BREAKING SOFTWARE: How the original meaning of 'break things' (emphasizing first-mover advantage) evolved from rapid iteration of code to justifying regulatory evasion and monopolistic behavior.BREAKING TEAMS: Using Harvard research that shows 'always-on' cultures decrease productivity by 20% and spike turnover to discuss how intensity without recovery is just exploitation (and what to do instead).BREAKING PEOPLE: Discussing the human costs of unchecked speed, from Facebook's alleged role in the Myanmar genocide to Uber's systemic harassment culture to Theranos's fraud.LEARNING OVER SPEED: We discuss Eric Ries's seminal work: The Lean Startup and how it went out of it's way to emphasize learning velocity over shipping velocity. WRONG (we guess)!PUSHING BACK (WITHOUT GETTING FIRED): We brainstorm for frameworks to use for challenging speed-obsessed leadership, including trade-off and discuss real-world experiences.Whether you're running a business, a product manager, or a team member just trying to keep up, this episode arms you with arguments and frameworks to advocate for ethical innovation.What's your take on 'move fast' culture? Have you seen it more of a positive or negative?#ProductManagement #TechEthics #AgileLeadershipREFERENCESMove Fast and Break Things by Jonathan Taplin (2017), Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power Greed and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn Williams, The Lean Startup by Eric Ries (2011), The Fearless Organization by Amy Edmondson (2018), Susan Fowler's blog 'Reflecting on One Very Very Strange Year at Uber' (February 2017), UN Human Rights Council 2018 report on Facebook and Myanmar, Harvard Business School research on always-on cultures (2009), Agile Podcast E22 - Interview with a Scrum Trainer: Fred Mastropasqua (August 2021), Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink, The Social Network (film, 2010)LINKSYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@arguingagileSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/362QvYORmtZRKAeTAE57v3Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/agile-podcast/id1568557596Website: https://arguingagile.com/

【主播的话】过去几年,我们的生活里已经不可避免地被AI所包围。AI 的迅猛发展在给人类工作和生活带来便利的同时,也给人类带来了很多焦虑。许多这些焦虑也是围绕着我们对自己,以及和这个世界的关系展开的。每个人在面对新科技发展时,都有不同的应对机制;过去几年做科技报道的经历让我意识到要了解一个新技术的优点与局限,它的潜在不公正与威胁。首先要了解它是如何被制造出来的?在这个制造环节中涉及了哪些不同的人群,价值判断和链条等。这期节目我们与研究劳动社会学的学者根据《投喂AI:人工智能产业的全球底层工人纪实》一书的研究深入探讨了在制造 AI 这一庞大的生产链条当中,那些为 AI 不断提供养分的人群——他们是怎样一群人,如何生活,又在追求怎样的工作目标?我们也聊了聊,在当今工作环境下,burnout(工作倦怠)到底是怎么一回事,为什么值得每个人警惕。这期节目或许会对你了解 AI 提供一些不同的视角。【本期主播】若含:小红书@若含【本期嘉宾】吴桐雨: 俄勒冈大学社会学博士,现任浙江大学社会学系百人计划研究员。其研究兴趣包括劳动社会学、技术社会学、性别研究,长期关注中美科技产业与人工智能数据产业的生产组织方式。【本期剧透】02:02 投喂 AI 的人类:一场被忽视的全球劳动04:18 AI 是中立的吗?是谁在背后“设计偏见”?08:22 AI 带来的信息鸿沟,信息认知差距呈指数增长11:17 冰岛引入 AI 数据中心后,一年耗水量翻 3 倍,AI 如何吞噬自然资源?14:16 中国 AI 数据标注工人都是谁?ta 们又如何工作?24:11 不同 AI 工具是否真的有文化差异?差异又从何而来?29:33 谁在塑造硅谷?并不是你以为的技术宅们34:29 硅谷如何用玩游戏的方式调动工程师主体性,又如何让人耗竭40:15 AI 会让我们摆脱狗屁工作吗?47:18 什么工作是 AI 替代不了的?49:32 全球分工加速,新的 “北方—南方” 技术结构出现52:00 性别与算法:偏见如何被写入未来55:00 技术洪流之下,我们能做的微小行动【相关阅读】《投喂 AI:人工智能产业的全球底层工人纪实》英文书名:Feeding the Machine: The Hidden Human Labor Powering A.I.作者:James Muldoon、Mark Graham、Callum Cant译者:贾青青、牟一凡出版社:中信出版社(中信·万物)出版日期(中文版):2025年9月 本书以跨六大洲、多国田野调查与超过两百名数字劳工访谈为基础,揭示了人工智能背后那群“隐形的人类”:数据标注员、内容审核员、影像清洗工、合同工、临时工……他们负责让 AI“看懂图像”“理解语言”“识别暴力和色情内容”,却往往处于低薪、心理高压、劳动权益缺失的生存状态。书中用 Kenya、乌干达、菲律宾、爱尔兰、英国等地的真实案例,呈现全球 AI 产业链如何在“高科技乌托邦”的外壳下,以廉价劳动力支撑起机器学习的运转。本书打破“智能自动化”的幻象,显示“AI 的智能 = 全球南方 + 全球底层劳动的大规模输入”,是理解技术伦理、数字资本主义和全球劳动不平等的重要读物。《牛马游戏:硅谷大厂如何驯服工程师》作者:吴桐雨译者:刘睿睿、潘竹涛出版社:光启书局出版日期:2025年8月本书以民族志与田野调查的方法深入硅谷和全球科技公司,揭露了在“自由文化”“创新天堂”和“高薪体面工作”外衣之下,科技大厂如何通过游戏化机制(gamification) 把工程师变成“在游乐场里打工的知识牛马”。从把任务拆成“关卡”、把加班 gamify 成“冲榜”、到把激励制度包装成“游戏奖励”,书中揭示了劳动如何在新自由主义语境中被吸收进一种“自愿剥削”的循环里。程序员的激情、爱好与创意被系统化利用,而权力结构则被游戏化叙事所掩盖。本书不仅是对科技劳动的深度研究,也为理解现代职场“热爱式剥削”、互联网公司文化、与数字资本主义提供了关键视角,是一部极具冲击力与现实意义的科技社会学著作。《Lean In:向前一步》英文书名:Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead作者:Sheryl Sandberg(Nell Scovell 合著)出版社:Knopf(英文原版)出版日期:2013年3月《Lean In》是全球影响力最大的职场女性主义著作之一。作者 Sheryl Sandberg 以其在 Facebook / Google 的高管经历为基础,结合大量学术研究与职场访谈,剖析了女性在晋升中面对的结构性障碍(性别偏见、文化期待) 与心理性障碍(自我怀疑、自我设限)。书中提出“坐到桌边”(Sit at the table)、“让伴侣成为完全意义上的伙伴”等核心观点,推动了关于领导力、家庭分工、职场文化与性别平等的全球讨论。社交网络 The Social Network (2010)导演: 大卫·芬奇编剧: 艾伦·索金 / 本·麦兹里奇制片国家/地区: 美国上映日期: 2010年片长: 120 分钟2003年秋,哈佛大学。恃才放旷的天才学生马克·扎克伯格(Jesse Eisenberg 饰)被女友甩掉,愤怒之际,马克利用黑客手段入侵了学校的系统,盗取了校内所有漂亮女生的资料,并制作名为“Facemash”的网站供同学们对辣妹评分。他的举动引起了轰动,一度令哈佛服务器几近崩溃,马克因此遭到校方的惩罚。正所谓因祸得福,马克的举动引起了温克莱沃斯兄弟的注意,他们邀请马克加入团队,共同建立一个社交网站。与此同时,马克也建立了日后名声大噪的“Facebook”。经过一番努力,Facebook的名气越来越大,马克的财富与日俱增。然而各种麻烦与是非接踵而来,昔日的好友也反目成仇……《The Internet Galaxy: Reflections on the Internet, Business, and Society》作者:Manuel Castells出版社:Oxford University Press出版日期:2002 年曼努埃尔·卡斯特尔斯是全球信息时代的顶尖思想家之一。《经济学人》称他为“网络空间的首位重要哲学家”。卡斯特尔斯认为,我们正“以全速进入互联网银河,处于信息迷茫之中”。本书旨在帮助我们理解互联网的起源及其影响,涵盖工作、政治、规划与发展、媒体、隐私、社交以及家庭生活等各方面。我们正处于新网络社会的起点。书中详细阐述了互联网的巨大解放潜力,同时也揭示了其可能导致的边缘化和排斥那些无法上网群体的风险。《Custodians of the Internet: Platforms, Content Moderation, and the Hidden Decisions That Shape Social Media》作者:Tarleton Gillespie出版社:Yale University Press出版日期:2018 年大多数用户希望他们的推特动态、脸书主页和YouTube评论区不受骚扰和色情内容的干扰。无论是面对“假新闻”还是直播暴力,“内容审核员”——负责审查或推广用户发布的内容——的重要性前所未有。尤其当社交媒体平台用以遏制巨魔行为、禁止仇恨言论和审查色情的工具,也可能让你必须听到的声音被无声封锁时,这一现象更为显著。在这本深刻而细致的书中,获奖社会学家兼文化观察者塔尔顿·吉莱斯皮概述了当前社交媒体的运作方式,并解释了这些政策何时、为何以及如何被执行的背后理由。吉莱斯皮指出,内容审核虽然影响社会规范、公共话语、文化生产和社会结构,却很少受到公众监督。基于对内容审核员、创作者和用户的访谈,这本通俗易懂、极具时效性的著作,是每一个点击过“点赞”或“转发”的人必读之作。《Work's Intimacy》作者:Melissa Gregg出版社:Polity Press出版日期:2011 年本书研究现代工作如何侵入我们的私人生活,以及这种“亲密化”(intimacy)的边界模糊如何成为 Burnout(职业倦怠)的核心诱因。作者格雷格通过广泛研究发现,新媒体技术加剧了有薪专业人士将工作置于日常生活核心的长期倾向,往往以牺牲亲密关系和个人满足感为代价。从手机到笔记本电脑和平板电脑,这些新媒体设备被宣传为让人们能够自由选择工作时间和地点,但对此变革带来的后果关注甚少。随着工作场所从办公室扩展到咖啡馆、火车、起居室、餐厅甚至卧室,这种“职业存在渗透”使得工作事务以新的、意想不到的方式侵入员工的私人生活。《The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World》作者:Allison J. Pugh出版社:Princeton University Press出版日期:2024 年本书探讨了随着人工智能和自动化技术(如自助结账和自动化工厂)的快速发展,未来的工作形态变得极不确定,甚至需要高度人际互动的职业也不再安全。作者通过深入采访和观察涵盖医生、教师、教练、牧师、治疗师、护理人员和理发师等多个职业,提出了“连接性劳动”的概念。这种劳动依赖于同理心、人际接触的自发性以及互相认可彼此的人性。作者指出,连接性劳动面临的威胁不仅来自人工智能和应用程序的发展,还有以利润为驱动而推行的工业化管理逻辑,这些逻辑压缩了员工建立联系的时间,强化了数据和指标优先,推行标准化流程,阻碍了员工真正理解彼此的可能性。书中最后介绍了一些连接性劳动蓬勃发展的组织,提出了构建有效社会结构的实际方法。【本期音乐】Bleu-Komiku【节目制作】方改则【Logo设计】刘刘(ins: imjanuary)【互动方式】小红书@不合时宜微博@不合时宜TheWeirdo商务合作可发邮件至 hibuheshiyi@126.com 或微博私信会员计划咨询可添加微信:hibuheshiyi3 或发送邮件至 hibuhehsiyi@gmail.com

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 333: Jeff Cronenweth Two-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth, ASC is known for visually defining modern classics like Fight Club and The Social Network. With TRON: ARES, he melded three distinct realities: the digital Grid, the gritty real world, and the retro feel of the grid in the original TRON. Jeff's involvement with TRON: ARES began through his long-standing relationship with Jared Leto. After working together on Fight Club, Leto, who stars as Ares and is a producer on the film, personally asked Jeff to meet with director Joachim Rønning. Jeff found that Rønning had established a remarkably clear vision for TRON: ARES from the start by storyboarding every scene. Having a clear plan was crucial, given the complexity of the environments and the technical demands of the shoot, which included a challenging seven weeks of night shooting in downtown Vancouver. Jeff chose ARRI DNA LF lenses for their character, flare, and artifacting, even for the digital setting, and the film was framed for IMAX. The core challenge for Jeff was using visual language to differentiate the film's three central environments, drawing inspiration from the franchise's past while exploring something new. 1. The Main Grid: Predictable Perfection Referencing the "pristine" aesthetic of TRON: Legacy, the new film's main Grid environment is defined by machine code—a world that is predictable and perfect. Look: Sharp, clean lines, saturated colors, and a highly geometric, mechanical feel. Color Coding: The classic blue/gray/white color palette is reserved for the good guys, while the presence of the bad guys is immediately signaled by the use of red. 2. The Real World: Embracing the Grit In TRON: ARES, for the first time, the computer programs emerge into the real world. Reality required a darker, grittier visual separation from the digital realm. Look: Shooting in Vancouver's downtown allowed reflections in large glass buildings to enhance the environment's texture. Practical locations, like a chase that concluded with lightcycles crashing into bales of recycled paper on a pier, further grounded the action. 3. ENCOM/Mainframe Grid: A Nod to the Original To connect back to the franchise's roots, the scenes where the character Ares ventures into the original ENCOM grid to find Flynn needed to match the look of the 1982 film. Reference: The 1982 TRON's grid scenes were shot in black and white and then hand-painted to achieve the glowing effect. To mimic this analog feel, Jeff intentionally doubled the amount of grain and desaturated the color, creating a look that closely matches the original. Light is both a symbol and a weapon in Tron: Ares. To get the look, visual effects, costumes, props and cinematography had to work closely together. LED lights were installed in costumes, props and sets, and practically controlled through a dimmer board. This gave the VFX team a base to build upon. The lightcycles, some of which were built as practical, towable props, had LEDs built in and connected to dimmer boards as well. The lights provided real, interactive reflections on the actors and surrounding environment. Jeff also used light beams on set to simulate a recognizer scanning a high-rise office. The VFX crew could then track and enhance these practical effects in post-production. Jeff's choices were crucial for the post-production team. “We all knew what the goals were and what the scenes were going to be about,” he says. “It was a wonderful experience because it took all of us to be in harmony all the time.” See TRON: ARES in theaters Jeff is currently shooting The Social Reckoning, with director Aaron Sorkin.

He also shot Amazon's Being the Ricardos for director Aaron Sorkin, starring Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem. Kidman was so impressed with Jeff's work that she later asked him to shoot her now-famous AMC Theatres commercial.We also dive into his long-running collaboration with David Fincher on films like Fight Club, The Social Network, and Gone Girl. Plus, Jeff gives us a glimpse into his latest project — the just-begun follow-up to The Social Network, titled The Social Reckoning. Aaron Sorkin is not only writing but also directing this one, with a stellar cast that includes Jeremy Allen White, Mikey Madison, Jeremy Strong, Betty Gilpin, and Bill Burr.When I first heard about The Social Reckoning, my initial reaction was, “Why on earth would they make that?” But the more I've thought about it, the more I've realized it's an essential story — a vital piece of modern history that deserves to be explored and cemented in the public consciousness.Today's episode of the Following Films Podcast is brought to you by Google Workspace.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesIt appears as though Marvel Studios much speculated film that was slated to release between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars in July 2027, won't be happening after all; or at least not that July, as Disney has replaced the untitled project with a sequel to The Simpsons Movie dated for July 23, 2027. The move comes as a surprise to many Marvel fans who anticipated a possible Doctor Strange or Shang-Chi sequel to take place between the Avengers tentpoles but is in keeping with what Bob Iger and Kevin Feige have promised about a slowdown in production. Elsewhere, with Marvel Zombies premiering on Disney Plus last week, Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum teased a possible season 2, but emphasized that would be contingent on viewership and new Disney Plus subscriptions. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Olsen took the opportunity to share that although she recorded lines for the series, she doesn't remember anything about the show or plot.

Additional criteria the filmmaker included is that the performer must hail from the British Isles and be male, as well as his desire to capture what Fleming called “a blunt instrument” — the lethal but “extremely dull, uninteresting man to whom things happened.” If Villeneuve and team stay true to these parameters, it potentially rules out many fan-casted favorites and seems to be in more alignment with the Broccoli family's traditions with the character than expected with new creatives in control.Mark Ronson is slated to reunite with Greta Gerwig to score her Chronicles of Narnia adaptation at Netflix. Ronson previously served as executive music producer for Gerwig's Barbie.Amazon MGM Studios‘ adaptation of Rebecca Yarros' bestselling novel Fourth Wing is closing in on a new showrunner.
