The most overlooked aisle in the grocery store may be ripe for reinvention. Riff is betting on it. We dig into the new shelf-stable meal kit brand launched by Sir Kensington's co-founder Mark Ramadan and Eleven Madison Park chef Daniel Humm. We also discuss Battle Bars' attempt to broaden its appeal in the protein bar category and what investor network The Angel Group wants to see from emerging CPG brands. Show notes: 0:20: Angels In The Parking Lot. We Riff On Riff. Winning The Battle. Phenomenal Education. – The hosts recap the recent Taste Radio meetup in San Diego, featuring live interviews with Maddie Serviente of The Angel Group and Chuck Casano, founder and CEO of Pitaya Foods. They also preview upcoming Nosh Live, BevNET Live and Brewbound Live events in Los Angeles. The conversation then turns to Riff, a new brand of elevated pasta and noodle meals designed to compete with familiar names such as Hamburger Helper and Rice-A-Roni and now available nationwide at Target. The hosts discuss the opportunity to reinvent familiar categories through better food, branding and consumer appeal, while emphasizing that taste remains critical to a brand's success. They also spotlight Battle Bars' brand refresh, including redesigned packaging and reformulated protein bars, and discuss how the changes were informed in part by the significant role women play in the protein bar category and are intended to broaden the brand's appeal. Ray offers a mea culpa over Goodles' reported acquisition price, while the hosts discuss Sol-ti's growth in the wellness shot category and its recent $30 million fundraise. They wrap with All Phenoms, a sparkling functional beverage that illustrates both the opportunity and challenge of communicating multiple functional benefits while maintaining a clear consumer proposition.

„Alzheimer ist ein riesiger Schwindel“, sagt die Diplom-Biologin und Wissenschafts-Journalistin Cornelia Stolze. „Natürlich gibt es Demenz, aber Alzheimer ist von Pharma und Forschung als Verkaufsmasche aufgebaut worden.“ Die sogenannte Beweislage halte keiner Überprüfung stand. Die Autorin des Buchs „Vergiss Alzheimer“ berichtet über mangelhafte Diagnostik, leere Versprechungen und Angstmache, die auch Gesunde in die Pillen-Falle locken soll. Und mittendrin – mal wieder – Pfizer. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr meine unabhängige journalistische Arbeit unterstützt, damit ich auch in Zukunft weitermachen kann. Vielen Dank! Ich möchte mich auch ganz herzlich bei allen bedanken, die mich bereits unterstützen.

Solana just took the most historic step in its governance history: its first real on-chain vote, where any SOL holder — not just validators — could weigh in on the network's constitution, inflation and fees.Camila Russo sits down with Nick Almond, Head of Governance at the Jito Foundation, right as that shift collides with a new threat: Robinhood's own chain moving in on meme coins, the one corner of crypto that was always Solana's. Nick breaks down how the vote actually played out — including the disinflation proposal that was decided with eight seconds left after Kraken flipped its vote — how JitoSOL swung its entire stake pool with a 13% quorum trigger, and why he still thinks Solana's shot at attracting new apps, from tokenized stocks to meme coins, is stronger than people give it credit for.Presented by Oasis — a self-custody wallet built on a 2/3 multisig.

This week we talk about AI agents, cyberattacks, and insurance claims.We also discuss OpenAI, Hugging Face, and policy language.Recommended Book: The Stars My Destination by Alfred BesterTranscriptTwo broad categories of cyberattack have become especially visible this year, and only one of them requires a human attacker in the loop to choose the target.In March, hackers linked by the US government to Iranian intelligence broke into the medical-device manufacturer Stryker and remotely wiped tens of thousands of employee devices. The attack disrupted the company for days, affected its first-quarter earnings, and represented a shift from somewhat more subtle espionage toward more overt and deliberate destruction.Elsewhere, the market-research company Klue sat at the center of a breach affecting close to 200 customers. Attackers used an old credential to gain access to keys for customers' cloud services.These incidents had people with recognizable motives behind them, and that sort of hack has become increasingly rare over the past decade or so: Black Kite counted 7,551 publicly disclosed ransomware victims over its latest twelve-month reporting period, alone, about 25 percent more than the year before.Then, over the course of about five weeks this summer, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta each disclosed incidents in which their AI models gained access to real computer systems they were not supposed to touch.The incidents were not identical, and describing all of them as escapes wouldn't capture the important nuance of the situation.Anthropic and Meta said their models reached the internet because a third-party evaluation environment had been misconfigured. The models had been told they were operating inside a simulation, and their internal dialogues indicate they interpreted the real systems they encountered when they left that environment as simulated components of that exercise.OpenAI's incident, however, was a bit different.Its models were being tested using ExploitGym, a benchmark intended to measure their ability to find and exploit software vulnerabilities. Internet access was supposed to be blocked, but the models discovered and exploited vulnerabilities in a package-registry service inside OpenAI's research infrastructure, found a route to the open internet, and, as I related in a previous episode, eventually compromised the production systems of the AI platform Hugging Face.Since that episode, OpenAI has release a more complete postmortem, which they published in August, and which says the activity was primarily driven by an internal research model comparable in scale to GPT-5.6 Sol, though Sol participated in parts of the incident.The agents created an improvised message board inside the package manager, exchanged discoveries, divided up work, and sometimes described themselves as a swarm.At Hugging Face they executed code on dozens of servers, obtained broad access to several clusters, and exposed credentials associated with databases, cloud services, code repositories, and internal communications.Hugging Face reconstructed around 17,600 actions over a campaign lasting about four and a half days, including roughly two and a half days inside its own infrastructure.Notably, these AI agents were not trying to steal money or damage Hugging Face. They inferred that the company might possess the solutions to the benchmark, to the problem they were tasked with solving, and they went looking for them. They were, in effect, cheating on a test, looking for solutions to the problems rather than taking the test, as intended.That doesn't mean the models had motives in the human sense. People created the evaluation, reduced the normal safeguards, and assigned an offensive task. But no operator selected Hugging Face or directed the individual steps; that was a path the AI decided to take all by itself.Anthropic's review subsequently found three incidents among more than 141,000 evaluation runs for its own models. In one, a model unable to reach its fictional target scanned around 9,000 real ones, compromised an internet-facing application using an exposed password and SQL injection, then stopped after recognizing that the host was real.Another model published a malicious package to the real Python Package Index because it believed the registry was simulated. Fifteen outside systems downloaded and ran that malicious package before it was removed.Meta then disclosed that one of its models had reached the internet through a misconfiguration at the same evaluation vendor and exploited a vulnerability at an unnamed third party.No significant financial damages have been publicly reported from these events, by attacker or victim. But if there had been damages, who would have paid for them?What I'd like to talk about today is how autonomous AI systems complicate cyber insurance, how insurers have handled equally unfamiliar risks in the past, and why insurance contracts may soon become one of the more important forms of AI governance.—A typical cyber-insurance policy covers a broad portfolio of costs.These can include ransom payments, forensic investigations, legal expenses, restoring systems and data, notifying customers, and compensating victims and possibly a victims' customers for the revenue lost while a company's operations are interrupted.Business interruption is often one of the largest portions of a claim, and policies can respond to malicious attacks as well as non-malicious failures.This market grew by more than 30% a year between 2017 and 2022, as ransomware, a type of attack that became a lot more common during that period, in part because of increased automation and a franchising model that became really popular and increased the reach of the most powerful ransomware tools, almost broke this industry.In 2021, attacks on Colonial Pipeline, the insurer CNA, and meat processor JBS produced multimillion-dollar ransom payments and costly disruptions. Insurance prices surged, sometimes by more than 100%, while some companies found they could not obtain coverage because insurers just couldn't make the numbers work for them.Insurers responded to this more complex hacking environment by raising prices, but they also made coverage conditional on specific defenses. Companies increasingly had to demonstrate that they used multifactor authentication, endpoint monitoring, restricted administrator access, and backups that attackers could not alter, as a baseline.Loss ratios then fell, more insurance capital entered the market, and prices eventually came down again, stabilizing after that frantic and uncertain period.According to Marsh, global cyber-insurance rates fell 4% in the second quarter of 2026, the twelfth consecutive quarterly decline. Primary pricing is now about 42% below its 2022 peak.The market is not necessarily becoming safer, though. US cyber premiums reached about $7.5 billion in 2025, while the share of premiums consumed by claims rose to 53%—the first time it ticked above 50% since the pandemic-era ransomware surge.Globally, Munich Re estimates the market was worth nearly $15 billion last year and could approach $28 billion by 2030.During this period, insurance applications have also become a consequential part of a company's security system.In one particularly clear example, Travelers rescinded a million-dollar policy after a ransomware claim revealed that the customer's multifactor authentication protected only its firewall, despite application answers saying the control was used much more broadly.Companies that don't live up to cyber insurance expectations can thus be left in the lurch, so in a very real way, insurers have helped make multifactor authentication a standard business practice by attaching a price to its absence. This industry could move faster than regulators because they didn't have to ban insecure behavior and pass legislation to make that happen; they just had to decline to insure anyone who didn't live up to their basic security standards, which left those who failed to implement such precautions without insurance, should they be targeted by hackers.That same mechanism is now being aimed at AI agents, but the big initial problem everyone is facing is definitional.Most cyber policies are written around some identifiable security event: an outside attacker breaks in, an employee steals information, a credential is used without authorization, or malicious software takes a server offline.What if, though, a company gives an AI agent access to its network so that the agent can find and repair security vulnerabilities?And then maybe the agent discovers a vulnerability, exploits it, moves laterally into systems it was not expected to touch, and exposes sensitive data. There is a cyber loss, but there may be no conventional attacker and no stolen credential. The software was invited in and may have used permissions it was explicitly given. This is very different from a human-led hack, but it still has the potential to cause a lot of monetary damage.Insurers including MSIG, QBE, and Beazley are reviewing how their policy language applies to these scenarios and who bears responsibility when an agent's autonomous actions cause damage.For now, most of them are clarifying the parameters of their coverage rather than excluding AI events entirely.QBE's global head of cyber described AI as “a risk amplifier, not a fundamentally new cyber risk.” In other words, if an AI system causes something that looks like an ordinary covered breach, the involvement of AI probably won't put it in a different category; it'll still be covered.The trickier cases involve an agent that works as designed but makes an expensive decision, or a systemic event in which a model or AI platform produces losses at many companies simultaneously.The first type might be treated as professional liability, or errors and omissions, rather than a cyber incident. The second could, in theory at least, end up being too large for insurers to cover without strict limits in place.Specialized products are already emerging. Armilla AI, Munich Re, and AXA XL sell coverage for risks including model underperformance, hallucinations, and intellectual-property claims. Whether these products remain separate or are eventually folded into broad cyber policies will depend in part on what sorts of claims insurers actually receive, and the scale of those claims.Right now, they have very little historical data with which to calculate the price. Insurance is fundamentally a system for using past experience to account for future issues, and autonomous AI losses have almost no past; they're a very new type of problem.That said, the insurance industry has encountered ambiguity before.For years, insurers worried about silent cyber: losses caused by digital events that appeared inside property, liability, and other policies that had never explicitly contemplated them. Lloyd's gradually required policies to state whether cyber risks were covered or excluded.There was also the question of attribution. In 2017, the NotPetya malware spread from Ukraine through corporate networks around the world. The US and several allies attributed it to the Russian military, but many victims were ordinary companies with no meaningful role in geopolitics.Drugmaker Merck claimed about $1.4 billion in damages under its property policies. Insurers disputed roughly half of that amount using exclusions for hostile or warlike acts; language whose ancestry predates computers by more than a century.New Jersey courts found that the exclusion required something closer to conventional military action, not a cyber bug gone haywire, and the case settled in January of 2024, just before the state Supreme Court was scheduled to hear it. Mondelez settled a parallel dispute with Zurich over a claim exceeding $100 million around the same time.Lloyd's subsequently required standalone cyber policies to address catastrophic state-backed attacks explicitly, including a method for resolving attribution. Agentic AI reopens both the silent-coverage and attribution problems simultaneously.If a model causes a loss, responsibility might plausibly be assigned to the model developer, the company that deployed it, the vendor that built its evaluation environment, or the organization whose excessive permissions allowed the damage to spread.In two of this summer's three sets of incidents, a third-party evaluator's misconfiguration helped create the path to the internet. In OpenAI's case, the path involved vulnerabilities in OpenAI's own infrastructure and then weaknesses at several outside services.The most important insurance risk, though, may ultimately be technological and infrastructural aggregation.The 2024 CrowdStrike outage demonstrated that a single faulty software update could interrupt airlines, banks, hospitals, and other organizations around the world without any malicious attacker.Consider a future in which thousands of companies give access to agents built on a small number of frontier models. A flaw or unwanted behavior in one widely used model could cause problems for a large portion of an insurer's entire customer base, all at once.And this risk is arriving in the midst of an unusually competitive insurance market, after twelve quarters of declining rates and as loss ratios are beginning to rise. If insurers decide they cannot price the exposure, they will probably respond through some combination of higher prices, lower limits, stricter conditions, and exclusions.All that in mind, the first thing to be watching in the coming months is policy language during the January 2027 renewal season.The current posture, if you recall, is to clarify rather than exclude, but language addressing systemic AI events or dependence on a single model provider is already being discussed. A significant loss could change the market's posture quickly, making it more limited and expensive.The second thing to watch for is the first big, disputed claim.Industry interviews can describe what insurers expect to cover, but their operational position will be established when an AI agent causes an eight-figure loss and a carrier must either pay or explain why it won't.The NotPetya disputes took years to resolve, and the first autonomous-agent case could similarly define policy language well before it produces a final court ruling. That'll be a moment that maybe defines the next ten years of cyber insurance standards, if not longer.The third thing to watch for is changes to insurance questionnaires.Underwriters could begin asking whether agent credentials are narrowly scoped, whether actions are comprehensively logged, whether consequential decisions require human approval, whether agents have kill switches, and whether claimed containment has been verified rather than merely documented.If these controls affect the price and availability of insurance, they could become industry standards faster than legislation makes them mandatory, just like that previous round of cyber insurance baselines that became common because, lacking them, customers could no longer get cyber insurance at any price.And finally, there's also a government process developing alongside the private one.An executive order signed in June established a voluntary framework under which developers can provide the federal government with access to certain frontier models for up to 30 days before release. The process uses classified benchmarks to evaluate advanced cyber capabilities, and representatives from major AI companies discussed the framework at the White House in August of 2026.If insurers eventually require evidence that a model or company participated in this sort of evaluation, a voluntary government program could evolve into a practical requirement without ever becoming an actual legal mandate.This wouldn't make insurance a perfect regulator. Insurers are accountable to their own balance sheets, not to the public as a whole, and they may respond to poorly understood risks by excluding them rather than making them safer, as has been the case with some types of weather disaster in areas that are becoming more prone to things like flooding and wildfires.But insurance companies do have to convert uncertainty into prices, contractual language, and technical requirements, which makes some currently difficult to quantify things more quantifiable, at least monetarily.The AI incidents this summer caused no reported material damage, which is one reason they're getting relatively little coverage, despite being fairly meaningful events. The insurance industry sees these sorts of narratives through the lens of cost and risk, though, and this is a category of loss with no conventional attacker, no stolen credential, several plausible defendants, and almost no claims history, arriving at a moment in which companies are racing to give autonomous systems more access to all of their systems—a lot of valuable and potentially vulnerable infrastructure.The people whose job is to price that risk haven't decided what it costs, yet. And until they do, what they add to or remove from their application forms may be more consequential to the norms and expectations in this space than what the government mandates, on the matter.Show Noteshttps://www.businessinsurance.com/as-ai-agents-go-rogue-cyber-insurers-are-adapting-their-policies/https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/as-ai-agents-go-rogue-cyber-insurers-are-adapting-their-policies-4878768https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-model-evaluation-security-incident/https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-incident-and-the-road-ahead/https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026https://huggingface.co/blog/agent-intrusion-technical-timelinehttps://www.anthropic.com/news/investigating-incidents-cybersecurity-evalshttps://cyberunit.com/insights/ai-sandbox-escapes-three-labs-meta-anthropic-openai/https://labs.cloudsecurityalliance.org/research/csa-research-note-frontier-ai-models-hacking-real-systems-ev/https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/07/the-worst-hacks-and-breaches-of-2026-so-far/https://blackkite.com/reports/2026-ransomware-reporthttps://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa23-320ahttps://www.munichre.com/en/insights/cyber/cyber-insurance-risks-and-trends-2026.htmlhttps://www.swissre.com/risk-knowledge/advancing-societal-benefits-digitalisation/about-cyber-insurance-market.htmlhttps://www.marsh.com/en-gb/services/international-placement-services/insights/global-insurance-market-index.htmlhttps://compyl.com/guides/cyber-insurance-readiness-guide/https://www.aon.com/en/insights/articles/cyber-and-tech-e-and-o-market-reporthttps://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/merck-settlement-notpetya-insurance/703922/https://therecord.media/mondelez-and-zurich-reach-settlement-in-notpetya-cyberattack-insurance-suithttps://assets.lloyds.com/media/eb6de9ce-293b-4213-80f8-9dc69c45b1a9/Y5381%20Market%20Bulletin%20-%20Cyber-attack%20exclusions.pdfhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/eo-14409.pdfhttps://www.axios.com/2026/08/04/inside-trump-ai-framework This is a public episode.

Arrancamos la temporada queridos amigos, ya nuestra séptima y esperemos que las que nos pongan por delante. Con la ilusión de un proyecto a la altura de nuestras expectativas, si bien cerrábamos nuestro último capítulo con la llegada de Pedro Martínez y la más que probable de Pradilla, se han ido sumando fichajes a cada cual ya veremos si mejor o no... de momento las sensaciones son buenas en los primeros partidos de pretemporada. Borrón de nuevo contra Breogán como el verano pasado, pero contundencia en León contra un flojo Baskonia y unos días después nuevo Torneo de la Costa del Sol a la buchaca contra Tenerife y Unicaja en el triangular malagueño. Comentamos con nuestro amigo Rayco los cambios en la plantilla, las salidas y las entradas y las aún posibles llegadas con los rumores más que fiables del fichaje de Nick Smith Jr. y quién sabe si Poirier... Muchísimos jugadores, muchísimo ritmo y esperanza de divertirnos esta temporada que comienza sin supercopa ACB después de muchos años, pero con otra supercopa, más ilusionante quizá, la de la Euroliga donde podemos poner un aviso a navegantes para los demás rivales de la competición, ojalá salga bien el experimento en Dubai. Gracias a todos por seguir con nosotros una temporada más ¡¡HALA MADRID!!

Esta semana, Diego analiza la encuesta del CIEP que muestra que 75% de los costarricenses no se identifica ni como chavista ni como antichavista, y plantea por qué ese amplio sector puede resultar clave para entender el respaldo a Laura Fernández y los límites de una oposición definida únicamente por su rechazo a Rodrigo Chaves. Además, repasamos el papelón del Gobierno con una política de rotación policial que cambió de alcance en menos de 24 horas, la discusión presupuestaria entre el OIJ y el Ejecutivo y el curioso caso de funcionarios de Hacienda investigados por presuntamente usar un programa para simular movimiento del mouse durante el teletrabajo.Costa Rica PuedeGrupo Montecristo, junto con varias organizaciones nacionales e internacionales, realizó 164 cirugías pediátricas completamente gratuitas a finales de agosto: 140 operaciones de estrabismo y 24 para tratar criptorquidia.Bruce Callow, está dando talleres para que personas adultas mayores conviertan sus recuerdos y anécdotas en canciones usando inteligencia artificial.Kristen Angélica Solís López, estudiante de décimo año del Colegio Científico Bilingüe Reina de los Ángeles, acaba de ganar la medalla de oro absoluta y el primer lugar general de la Olimpiada Iberoamericana de Biología, celebrada en São Paulo, Brasil.La Embajada de Japón entregó $90.900 en equipo médico al Hospital Enrique Baltodano de Liberia para fortalecer la atención neonatal, cardíaca y de ultrasonido. Representantes indígenas, docentes, autoridades educativas y académicos están trabajando en una propuesta para avanzar hacia un modelo de educación propia para los pueblos Bribri y Cabécar.El Colegio de Profesionales en Informática y Computación lanzó la campaña Tecnología que rescata para recolectar computadoras funcionales y donarlas a APAMI Wildlife, una organización de Guanacaste dedicada al rescate y rehabilitación de fauna silvestre.Agenda CulturalDesde hoy viernes y hasta el domingo se celebra en la Antigua Aduana y la Casa del Cuño la quinta edición de la Fiesta de la Lectura Costa Rica, con cerca de 70 actividades completamente gratuitas: presentaciones de libros, talleres, narración oral, cómic, ilustración, teatro, videojuegos y hasta experiencias de realidad virtual.

“The Archons shiver as Sol Luckman arrives at the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his upcoming book, HOW TO RUN DOWN A DREAM: INNER ALCHEMY FOR MANIFESTING YOUR BEST LIFE. He'll deep dive into the metaphysical concept of ‘loosh,' exploring how hyperdimensional parasites harvest our traumatized vital force and why we should reframe our reality not as an inescapable soul trap, but as a rigorous ‘consciousness dojo.' We unpack how humanity's ancient ‘Fall' was actually a transition to a borrowed conscious operating system designed for manipulation, where shame acts as a bio-spiritual governor that leaks our life force to an otherworldly predator. Finally, Sol reveals the ultimate plot twist of our existence: an unexpected navigational system called the ‘Ghost in the Machine' that allows us to reclaim our power, quiet the inner narcissist, and consciously design our own destiny.” —Miguel Conner, host, AEON BYTE GNOSTIC RADIO“What makes Sol's writing work isn't that he's a guru talking down to you. It's the opposite, he's an approachable guide, helping you unlearn what we've all been taught about ourselves, individually and collectively. This isn't a book of abstract theory, and it never wanders off into esoteric elitism or ungrounded mysticism. It's a genuine handbook, practical in the best possible sense for elevating your consciousness and taking your power back.” —Emma Lyons, founder of TRAUMA MATRIX“Just when you thought Sol couldn't go any deeper … he does. Sol constantly—and I mean relentlessly—challenges you to remain open-minded. In fact, the term ‘open-minded' doesn't adequately convey what he's doing. It's more like he's stripping your mind naked, and cornering you into thinking outside the box where he then provides the match for you to burn the box itself […] I don't just recommend this book, it's prerequisite reading before embarking on the ‘Ultimate Hero's Journey' in your ultimate Dreambody. It's as inspiring as it is practical.”—Johnny Flynn, author, THE MANDELA DILEMMAIf you've ever experienced blockages in your ability to manifest the life you desire, it's not your fault.The problem is that you were taught to always seek solutions outside yourself. Nobody told you that real change is an inside job.By transforming how you see yourself in relation to the world, HOW TO RUN DOWN A DREAM will empower you with the necessary skill sets to improve your circumstances from the inside out.With the expert guidance of renowned sound healer and consciousness researcher Sol Luckman, developer of the Regenetics Method that NEXUS Magazine called “revolutionary healing science expanding the boundaries of being” …

What happens when the words we normally use aren't enough to describe what we're carrying? In this episode of the GraceStory Podcast, Nate is joined by Sol Fenne, a musician, songwriter, and church elder serving in Gracemount, Edinburgh, Scotland. Sol spent nine years as a drummer in the Royal Marines, later served as a police officer, and eventually became involved with 20schemes and its work in some of Scotland's most economically disadvantaged communities. Today, Sol and his wife, Carlie, lead His Estate, a music ministry creating Scripture-centered songs that aren't afraid to enter into the harder parts of life. Nate and Sol talk about the unique ability music has to give us language for experiences we sometimes struggle to put into words. They explore grief, depression, trauma, addiction, doubt, biblical lament, the pressure to put on a "Sunday smile," and what happens when churches create room for people to be honest about suffering instead of rushing toward easy answers. They also discuss how music can help us remember truth when we don't necessarily feel it, why Christian songs should make room for both celebration and sorrow, and the responsibility that comes with writing songs about deeply painful experiences. Music isn't a replacement for counseling, medical care, or professional mental-health treatment. But sometimes a song can meet us in a hard place and give us words when we don't have our own.

Continuamos este viaje por el mundo griego donde profundizamos en las batallas primordiales de los dioses, la condición humana y el surgimiento de las instituciones que definieron la civilización occidental. En este segundo episodio caminamos primero por la Titanomaquia y el ascenso triunfal de Zeus tras derrotar a Cronos y a Tifón; después entramos en los mitos de Hesíodo sobre el engaño de Mecona, el robo del fuego por Prometeo, la vasija de Pandora y las Cinco Edades del Hombre; pasamos por la invención de la polis, el florecimiento de la democracia ateniense y el inicio de la filosofía natural que sustituyó el mito por la razón con Jenófanes, Heráclito y la investigación histórica de Heródoto, hasta situarnos en el umbral de las Guerras Médicas frente al Imperio persa. Esta es la historia de cómo una sociedad transformó sus relatos sagrados en pensamiento crítico, ciudadanía y arte en vísperas del mayor desafío militar de su historia. Notas del episodio La Titanomaquia y el orden olímpico: Advertido de que un hijo lo destronaría, Cronos devoraba a sus descendientes hasta que Rea salvó a Zeus entregando una piedra envuelta en pañales. Tras crecer en Creta, Zeus liberó a sus hermanos, a los Cíclopes —quienes le forjaron el rayo— y a los Hecatónquiros, derrotando a los Titanes tras diez años de guerra y sepultando al monstruo Tifón en el Tártaro para consolidar el mando justo del cosmos. Prometeo, el fuego robado y Pandora: En Mecona, Prometeo engañó a Zeus al ofrecerle huesos cubiertos de apetitosa grasa blanca, reservando la carne para los mortales. Tras la ira divina y la privación del fuego, el titán robó una chispa en una caña hueca, sufriendo el tormento del águila en el Cáucaso. Como castigo a la humanidad, Zeus envió a Pandora, cuya vasija esparció fatigas, dolores y enfermedades por el mundo. Las Cinco Edades del Hombre según Hesíodo: En Los trabajos y los días, Hesíodo narra la decadencia moral humana: la pacífica Edad de Oro bajo Cronos; la insensata Edad de Plata; la violenta y autodestructiva Edad de Bronce; la noble Edad de los Héroes de Tebas y Troya; y la penosa Edad de Hierro del presente, caracterizada por el trabajo incesante, la fatiga y la degradación de los lazos éticos. La invención de la polis, la colonización y la identidad panhelénica: Entre los siglos VIII y VI a.C. floreció la polis como comunidad de ciudadanos libres bajo la isonomía tras superar regímenes tiránicos. Mientras los griegos fundaban colonias desde Hispania hasta el Mar Negro, Esparta consolidaba un régimen guerrero y Atenas edificaba su democracia mediante Solón y Clístenes, encontrando unidad panhelénica en Delfos, Olimpia y los Juegos Olímpicos. El nacimiento de la filosofía natural: Cuando el mito resultó insuficiente, pensadores como Jenófanes y Heráclito buscaron explicaciones racionales del cosmos, inaugurando la filosofía. La amenaza persa y el umbral de las Guerras Médicas: La imparable expansión del Imperio aqueménida bajo Ciro y Darío sometió a las ciudades griegas de Asia Menor. Esta opresión encendió la resistencia panhelénica en las puertas de Maratón y Salamina, configurando la identidad helena frente al mundo exterior y cerrando la transición de los registros micénicos a la plena madurez del pensamiento clásico.

Južná Kórea sprístupní generatívnu AI všetkým občanom zadarmo, kým slovenské školy zavádzajú opatrné lekcie a v Európe rastie odpor voči dátovým centrám.Kým sa slovenské školstvo snaží pripraviť učiteľov na výučbu základov umelej inteligencie a rodičia automatizujú školskú komunikáciu cez EduPage, ázijské štáty prechádzajú k priamemu masovému nasadeniu. Južná Kórea štátom financovaným projektom posilňuje svoju digitálnu suverenitu, no zároveň otvára otázky štátnej kontroly.Súbežne s tým narážajú technologickí giganti na nečakané bariéry pri budovaní infraštruktúry, keď sa vlna protestov proti ekologickej záťaži dátových centier presúva z Ameriky priamo do Česka a Európy. Modelové cykly sa pritom skracujú na týždne a neobvyklé experimenty testujú limity aj štatistické ilúzie modernej AI.O týchto, ale aj ďalších témach zo sveta umelej inteligencie, sa rozprávajú redaktori magazínu Živé.sk Ján Trangel a Maroš Žofčin v novom vydaní podcastu PočúvAI.V podcaste sa dozviete aj o týchto témach:Ako dopadol neobvyklý experiment s GPT-5.6 Sol a čo odhalil o štatistických trikoch a ilúziách jazykových modelov.Ako bude fungovať bezplatný štátny generatívny model pre občanov Južnej Kórey a aké riziká prináša pre digitálnu suverenitu.Ako vyzerá nová povinná výučba o AI pre slovenské deti a ako si môžu rodičia zautomatizovať neprehľadný EduPage cez AI agentov.Prečo v Európe a Česku vznikajú prvé fyzické protesty a blokády proti výstavbe ekologicky náročnej AI infraštruktúry.Prečo sa modelové cykly skrátili na dva mesiace a ako autorekurzívny vývoj mení plynulé aktualizácie softvéru.Podcast pripravuje magazín Živé.sk.

The biggest challenge of the season awaits as we welcome to reigning champions, Arsenal, to the SOL for a night under the lights. Can we take points from Mikel Arteta's side once again this year, like we did in the previous campaign?

Natividad de la Santísima Virgen María Mt 1,18-23 1,18 Este fue el origen de Jesucristo: María, su madre, estaba comprometida con José y, cuando todavía no habían vivido juntos, concibió un hijo por obra del Espíritu Santo. 1,19 José, su esposo, que era un hombre justo y no quería denunciarla públicamente, resolvió abandonarla en secreto. 1,20 Mientras pensaba en esto, el Ángel del Señor se le apareció en sueños y le dijo: «José, hijo de David, no temas recibir a María, tu esposa, porque lo que ha sido engendrado en ella proviene del Espíritu Santo. 1,21 Ella dará a luz un hijo, a quien pondrás el nombre de Jesús, porque él salvará a su Pueblo de todos sus pecados». 1,22 Todo esto sucedió para que se cumpliera lo que el Señor había anunciado por el Profeta: 1,23 La Virgen concebirá, y dará a luz un hijo a quien pondrán, el nombre de Emanuel, que traducido significa: «Dios con nosotros». Natividad de la Bienaventurada Virgen María Celebramos hoy «con alegría el nacimiento de María, la Virgen: de Ella salió el Sol de Justicia, Cristo, nuestro Dios». Esta festividad mariana es toda ella una invitación a la alegría, precisamente porque con el nacimiento de María Santísima Dios daba al mundo como la garantía concreta de que la salvación era ya inminente: la humanidad que, desde milenios, en forma más o menos consciente, había esperado algo o alguien que la pudiese liberar del dolor, del mal, de la angustia, de la desesperación, y que dentro del Pueblo elegido había encontrado, especialmente en los Profetas, a los portavoces de la Palabra de Dios, confortante y consoladora, podía mirar finalmente, conmovida y emocionada, a María «Niña», que era el punto de convergencia y de llegada de un conjunto de promesas divinas, que resonaban misteriosamente en el corazón mismo de la historia. Precisamente esta Niña, todavía pequeña y frágil, es la «Mujer» del primer anuncio de la redención futura, contrapuesta por Dios a la serpiente tentadora: «Pongo perpetua enemistad entre ti y la mujer y entre tu linaje y el suyo; éste te aplastará la cabeza, y tú le morderás a él el calcañal» (Gén 3, 15). Precisamente esta Niña es la «Virgen» que «concebirá y parirá un hijo, y le pondrá por nombre Emmanuel, que quiere decir "Dios con nosotros"» (cf. Is 7, 14; Mt 1, 23). Precisomente esta Niña es la «Madre» que parirá en Belén «a aquel que señoreará en Israel» (cf. Miq 5, 1 s.). La liturgia de hoy aplica a María recién nacida el pasaje de la Carta a los Romanos, en el que San Pablo describe el designio misericordioso de Dios en relación con los elegidos: María es predestinada por la Trinidad a una misión altísima; es llamada; es santificada; es glorificada. Dios la ha predestinado a estar íntimamente asociada a la vida y a la obra de su Hijo unigénito. Por esto la ha santificado, de manera admirable y singular, desde el primer momento de su concepción, haciéndola «llena de gracia» (cf. Lc 1, 28); la ha hecho conforme con la imagen de su Hijo: una conformidad que, podemos decir, fue única, porque María fue la primera y la más perfecta discípulo del Hijo. El designio de Dios en María culminó después en esa glorificación, que hizo a su cuerpo mortal conforme con el cuerpo glorioso de Jesús resucitado; la Asunción de María en cuerpo y alma al cielo representa como la última etapa de la trayectoria de esta Criatura, en la que el Padre celestial ha manifestado, de manera exaltante, su divina complacencia. Por tanto, toda la Iglesia no puede menos de alegrarse hoy al celebrar la Natividad de María Santísima, que —como afirma con acentos conmovedores San Juan Damasceno— es esa «puerta virginal y divina, por la cual y a través de la cual Dios, que está por encima de todas las cosas, hizo su entrada en la tierra corporalmente... Hoy brotó un vástago del tronco de Jesé, del que nacerá al mundo una Flor sustancialmente unida a la divinidad. Hoy, en la tierra, de la naturaleza terrena, Aquel que en un tiempo separó el firmamento de las aguas y lo elevó a lo alto, ha creado un cielo, y este cielo es con mucho divinamente más espléndido que el primero» (Homilía sobre la Natividad de María: PG 96, 661 s.). Contemplar a María significa mirarnos en un modelo que Dios mismo nos ha dado para nuestra elevación y para nuestra santificación. Y María hoy nos enseña, ante todo, a conservar intacta la fe en Dios, esa fe que se nos dio en el bautismo y que debe crecer y madurar continuamente en nosotros durante las diversas etapas de nuestra vida cristiana. Comentando las palabras de San Lucas (Lc 2, 19), San Ambrosio se expresa así: «Reconozcamos en todo el pudor de la Virgen Santa, que, inmaculada en el cuerpo no menos que en las palabras,  meditaba en su corazón los temas de la fe» (Expos. Evang. sec. Lucam II, 54: CCL XIV, pág. 54). También nosotros, hermanos y hermanas queridísimos, debemos meditar continuamente en nuestro corazón «los temas de la fe», es decir, debemos estar abiertos y disponibles a la Palabra de Dios, para conseguir que nuestra vida cotidiana —a nivel personal, familiar, profesional— esté siempre en perfecta sintonía y en armoniosa coherencia con el mensaje de Jesús, con la enseñanza de la Iglesia, con los ejemplos de los Santos. María, la Virgen-Madre, proclama hoy de nuevo ante todos nosotros el valor altísimo de la maternidad, gloria y alegría de la mujer, y además el de la virginidad cristiana, profesada y acogida «por amor del Reino de los cielos» (cf. Mt 19, 12), esto es, como un testimonio en este mundo caduco, de ese mundo final en el que los que se salvan serán «como los ángeles de Dios» (cf. Mt 22, 30). La festividad de hoy nos sugiere también otro punto para nuestra reflexión, vinculado con un acontecimiento eclesial de particular importancia, que durante bastantes meses centrará la atención en la diócesis de Frascati. El próximo año celebraréis solemnemente el III centenario de la consagración de vuestra artística catedral, es decir, del templo principal, el más importante de la diócesis. Pero el templo de piedras nos hace pensar en un Tabernáculo viviente, en el verdadero Templo santo del Altísimo, que fue María, que concibió en su seno virginal y engendró, por obra del Espíritu Santo, al Verbo encarnado. Y, según la Palabra de Dios, cada uno de los cristianos, por medio del bautismo, se convierten en templo de Dios (cf. 1 Cor 3, 16. 17; 6, 19; 2 Cor 6, 16); es una piedra viva para la construcción de un edificio espiritual (cf. 1 Pe 2, 5), esto es, debe contribuir, con su ejemplar vida cristiana, al crecimiento y a la edificación de la Iglesia, Cuerpo místico de Cristo, Pueblo de Dios, Familia de Dios. [...] ¡Oh Virgen naciente, esperanza y aurora de salvación para todo el mundo, vuelve benigna tu mirada materna hacia todos nosotros, reunidos aquí para celebrar y proclamar tus glorias! ¡Oh Virgen fiel, que siempre estuviste dispuesta y fuiste solícita para acoger, conservar y meditar la Palabra de Dios, haz que también nosotros, en medio de las dramáticas vicisitudes de la historia, sepamos mantener siempre intacta nuestra fe cristiana, tesoro precioso que nos han transmitido nuestros padres! ¡Oh Virgen potente, que con tu pie aplastaste la cabeza de la serpiente tentadora, haz que cumplamos, día tras día, nuestras promesas bautismales, con las cuales hemos renunciado a Satanás, a sus obras y a sus seducciones, y que sepamos dar en el mundo un testimonio alegre de esperanza cristiana! ¡Oh Virgen clemente, que abriste siempre tu corazón materno a las invocaciones de la humanidad, a veces dividida por el desamor y también, desgraciadamente, por el odio y por la guerra, haz que sepamos siempre crecer todos, según la enseñanza de tu Hijo, en la unidad y en la paz, para ser dignos hijos del único Padre celestial! Amén. Juan Pablo II, papa

NVIDIA closes its $12.93 billion acquisition of Hugging Face, Anthropic signs its third $30 billion-plus compute deal in three weeks, and Signal65 launches its new PINNACLE agentic AI benchmark just in time to catch Claude Fable 5.1 topping the charts, all while Dell, HPE, Broadcom, and Snowflake post a blowout week of AI-driven earnings. Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman have all the details on Ep. 318 of The Six Five Pod. The handpicked topics for this week are: NVIDIA's $12.93 Billion Acquisition of Hugging Face: NVIDIA closed its purchase of Hugging Face this week after days of rumors, structured as a full acquisition rather than a licensing deal like NVIDIA's earlier Grok arrangement. Moorhead frames the deal as NVIDIA's bid to own the entire developer pipeline, with GitHub as the first stop and Hugging Face as the second, and the platform's Spaces service giving NVIDIA a way to run workloads once developers arrive. (The Decode) Anthropic's $35 Billion Compute Deal With Lambda: Anthropic signed its third $30 billion-plus compute commitment in three weeks, this time with NVIDIA-backed Lambda managing infrastructure inside a data center owned by crypto infrastructure company Hut 8. The deal covers 350 megawatts over six years, and Newman ties it directly to Anthropic's revenue run rate climbing from about $10 billion to $65 billion since the start of 2025. (The Decode) A 72-Hour Wave of Frontier Model Launches: Claude Fable 5.1, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, Google's Gemini 3.8 Flash, Meta's Muse Spark, and six new models from the UAE's MBZUAI all shipped within days of each other. Moorhead and Newman frame the pace as evidence that model rankings now shift day to day, a much faster cycle than the weeks-long stretches leaderboards used to hold. (The Decode) John Ternus Takes Over as Apple CEO: Moorhead calls it a continuity pick that promotes the engineer who built Apple's hardware moat. Newman notes Tim Cook's buyback record, $867 billion in total repurchases, exceeded the combined total of the rest of the Magnificent Seven during his tenure. (The Decode) Signal65 Launches the PINNACLE Agentic AI Benchmark: Signal65 President Ryan Shrout joined Pat and Dan to detail PINNACLE, a new benchmark built to measure real, enterprise-relevant agentic work across model intelligence, infrastructure performance, and full-stack cost per correct task. Shrout says the benchmark already caught Fable 5.1 jumping ahead of Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on intelligence within days of the model's release. That same result also came in as the most expensive model per correct answer. (Off The Record) Dell Technologies (DELL): Dell delivered $47 billion in revenue, up 58%, with $16.4 billion in AI servers and a $95 billion AI backlog. Newman calls out strong storage and CPU server performance, along with the backlog. He flags financing risk tied to Dell's Neo Cloud customers as the one weak spot in an otherwise dominant quarter. (Bulls and Bears) Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE): HPE beat on revenue and non-GAAP EPS with a double beat on guidance, and Moorhead points to networking orders compounding faster than revenue can be recognized as the standout signal. The stock sold off anyway on questions about margin mix and supply. CEO Antonio Neri's focus on selective, less price-sensitive deals is already showing up in a repaired balance sheet. (Bulls and Bears) Broadcom (AVGO): Broadcom tripled its AI business to $16.7 billion, up 221%, and raised its fiscal 2028 AI revenue outlook to $230 billion. Newman says the market wanted the number closer to $300 billion and sold off on the guide. Broadcom still posted record $29.6 billion total revenue and continued strength across networking and storage controllers. (Bulls and Bears) Snowflake (SNOW): Snowflake beat on revenue, non-GAAP EPS, and forward guidance, with AI products across Cortex and its new coding agent driving roughly half the beat. Sell-side price targets moved sharply higher across more than a dozen firms, and Newman ties the 111 percent stock gain since the software sell-off to the same pattern he's tracked through the DeepSeek moment and the "software is dead" narrative: markets consistently overreact to those stories before reversing.

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado cómo llegó la comunidad china a Puerto Rico? Detrás de la combi china y sus muchos restaurantes en casi todos los pueblos del país, existe una historia que probablemente nunca te enseñaron en la escuela. En este episodio de Charlando Cosas, Maceta, Sol y Come hablan un poco acerca de la verdadera historia de los chinos en Puerto Rico: desde los engaños de la "Trata Amarilla", los horrores vividos en Cuba y la llegada eventual de confinados desterrados que terminaron construyendo, a fuerza de pico, barra y dinamita, la Carretera Central de San Juan a Ponce.

In this gripping eighteenth installment of the Jack Ruby miniseries, we peel back the layers of the fateful weekend of November 22-23, 1963, to examine the suspicious, hour-by-hour movements of Dallas's most volatile nightclub owner. We begin by dismantling the sixty-year-old alibi surrounding the late-night "Jackson Street rendezvous" between Jack, off-duty patrolman Harry Olsen, and Carousel stripper Kathy Kay. Although the Warren Commission accepted the story that the trio bumped into each other by pure chance as Kay left her Friday night shift, the physical reality tells a far darker story: both of Ruby's clubs were closed that night, meaning Kay had no shift, no work, and absolutely no reason to be downtown in a locked-down city. We investigate the intense 75-minute caucus that took place in the freezing dark, alongside the mysterious and entirely unrecorded "guard shift" Olsen claimed to be working just blocks from where Officer J.D. Tippit was subsequently murdered.As the pre-dawn hours of Saturday unfold, we follow Jack back to his apartment at 4:30 a.m. where, trembling and manic, he awakens his roommate George Senator with a terrifying new obsession. Fixed on the black "death border" of the controversial Bernard Weissman newspaper ad, Ruby becomes convinced that right-wing extremists are using a fake Jewish name to frame the Jewish community for President Kennedy's assassination. In a frantic bid to collect "evidence," Jack recruits his handyman Larry Craford to grab the club's Polaroid camera, driving to a dark highway at 5:00 a.m. to photograph the hostile "Impeach Earl Warren" billboard. We dissect Ruby's wild, hyperactive mind as he attempts to crack what he believes is a secret "Birch Code," deciphering the post office box numbers on the billboard and the newspaper ad as a scrambled mathematical cipher signaling a far-right underground plot.The search for the truth only grows more frantic as daylight breaks on Saturday. We trace Ruby to the main Dallas post office at 6:30 a.m., where he peers through the glass at Weissman's mail-stuffed box and gets into a heated argument with a night clerk who refuses to reveal the owner's identity. By 1:15 p.m., Jack is slamming his Polaroid photos onto a table at Sol's Turf Bar, desperately trying to show the crowd that "they are trying to blame this on the Jews." We close the afternoon with Jack's high-stress phone calls to his attorney, Stanley Kaufman, whom he begs to alert the Anti-Defamation League, and his business partner, Ralph Paul, who finally loses his temper and screams at Jack over the phone for sacrificing thousands of dollars in weekend revenue. It is a portrait of a man operating on a dangerous, manic frequency—collecting clues, seeking the spotlight, and spiraling closer to his historic Sunday morning destination.

OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra, calling it a leap toward AGI, while reports surfaced that rogue OpenAI agents hijacked a German wiki, Microsoft unveiled Project Zenith for local AI development, and Tesla's newly launched Cybercab drew an NHTSA investigation.

The Archons shiver as Sol Luckman arrives at the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his upcoming book, How to Run Down a Dream: Inner Alchemy for Manifesting Your Best Life. He'll deep dive into the metaphysical concept of “loosh,” exploring how hyperdimensional parasites harvest our traumatized vital force and why we should reframe our reality not as an inescapable soul trap, but as a rigorous “consciousness dojo.” We unpack how humanity's ancient “Fall” was actually a transition to a borrowed conscious operating system designed for manipulation, where shame acts as a bio-spiritual governor that leaks our life force to an otherworldly predator. Finally, Sol reveals the ultimate plot twist of our existence: an unexpected navigational system called the “Ghost in the Machine” that allows us to reclaim our power, quiet the inner narcissist, and consciously design our own destiny.

The “Love Island” USA and “Let's Marry Harry” reunions finally dropped this week, after we'd finally allowed our brains to move on. The two-hour “Love Island” reunion was shapeless, often boring, and felt as though it would never end. The cast re-litigated endless minor beefs, and rarely introduced new information or found any resolution – though we did finally establish how many times Sol was pied (two, as shown on TV) and how many times Bryce pulled Kayda (one, as shown on TV). Melanie had issues with half the cast, while Sincere just popped up every twenty minutes or so to issue a blanket apology. The women's behavior is hyper-scrutinized, while the men skate by. Overall, the cast seems sad, tired, and defensive after a summer of being analyzed to death. Please, let's put this season to bed! Then, we dip into the “Let's Marry Harry,” where the women are aggrieved and Harry is up to his old tricks: reciting softboy emotional platitudes in order to distract from his proven track record of douchey behavior.

Nvidia agreed to buy Hugging Face for $12.9B, betting on its $399 Microduck robot as a physical-AI data engine, Meta rolled out Muse Spark 1.3 to rival Fable 5.1 and GPT-5.6 Sol, and Microsoft restructured its reporting into two segments. Nvidia agrees to buy Hugging Face for $12.9B, its second-biggest purchase after it paid $20B for Groq assets at the end of last year (CNBC) Sources: Decoding Discontinuity's Raphaelle D'Ornano argues Nvidia's bid is really an option on physical AI's data commons, with Hugging Face's $399 Microduck robot converting real-world robot use into open training data (Decoding Discontinuity) Meta rolls out Muse Spark 1.3 in Muse Code and Meta Model API, saying it improves performance across agentic and coding tasks, at the same pricing as Spark 1.2 (Axios) Muse Spark 1.3 holds a 52% lead on TAU³-Banking's tool-use benchmark and climbs to 85-86% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 coding tests, though Fable 5.1 still tops coding at 91.4%, all at unchanged $1.25/$4.25 pricing (The Decoder) Meta's Alexandr Wang tells Bloomberg Muse Spark 1.3 is competitive with Fable 5.1 and beats GPT-5.6 Sol at coding, uses 25% fewer tokens than 1.2, and previews a larger future model called Watermelon (SiliconANGLE) Microsoft shifts from three reporting segments to two: Agents and Infra, which has Microsoft 365 and Azure, and Devices and Consumer, which has Windows and Xbox (The Wall Street Journal) Subscribe to the ad-free feed.

Clint is away, so Cal joins Meg and Dan for a packed Friday show, chatting about weeks flying by, Halloween costumes, and whether police can legally text while driving. They debut a listener-written Postcode Playlist song about fast-growing Rolleston, then run the final Mitre 10 Father’s Day giveaway with Quinn and daughter Massini. The team debates Cal’s tenancy warning over an unresolved water leak, plays Easy Money with a controversial near-win, and previews a huge sports weekend with Laura McGoldrick.

Dark web shop stocks 153 million driver's licenses Nexus, a new dark web service, claims it's selling scans of more than 153 million US and Canadian driver's licenses, plus over 10 million ID cards, three million travel and international IDs, and at least 579,000 medical cards. The images appear tied to Louisiana-based IDScan.net, which provides identity verification to retailers, rental-car companies, and others. KrebsOnSecurity matched some records to licenses scanned during Hertz rentals. IDScan says it's investigating and hasn't determined the breach's nature or scope. The FBI's New Orleans office has opened an inquiry. (KrebsOnSecurity) Anthropic puts 30-day data retention in reverse After customer pushback, Anthropic is revising a policy that stored 30 days of traffic from its Fable and Mythos models. Under new Enterprise Frontier Safeguards, customers can keep data in their own cloud and block Anthropic employees from reviewing it while automated abuse monitoring continues. Anthropic calls that privacy equivalent to zero data retention. Developed with more than 100 customers, including Salesforce, the system is due later this year. (CNBC) Astra enters OpenAI's cyber red zone OpenAI says Astra is its first model to reach a "Critical" cybersecurity threshold, meaning it can find unknown flaws and build exploits across well-defended systems without step-by-step human help. It's due soon, but the advanced cyber capabilities will start with a small test group before expanding through Daybreak Blue. OpenAI says Astra refused 91.5% of cyber jailbreak requests, versus 59% for GPT-5.6 Sol, and monitoring can pause suspicious activity. The Information reports Astra's latent reasoning may hide parts of its process, raising doubts about chain-of-thought monitoring.

It was an amazing two hour catch up to see what happened to all of the Islanders, once they left the Fiji villa…. And there was a lot to unpack! First, we’re still not sure whether or not Sincere and Melanie are a couple and we’re still not sure we believe Carl and Aniya ever were one (they claim they are). The drama broke out when Sol began complaining again about her treatment in the villa, but was humiliated after producers showed never before seen clips that proved otherwise. We also discuss the obvious media training KC, Titi, Corbin and Parmida had before the reunion, and Dylan proved to T.J. once again why he is not a fan of Kenzie’s guy.

I like to think I'm the one who keeps things fresh on the show — or at least that's what I tell everyone. But this week Felix once again proved that false, bringing in a fresh corridos tumbados duo from Guadalajara who takes a something-old-turned-new genre and smashes it together with metal. It's something I've never heard before. What can I say, Felix keeps us all young. I went back to Brazil with some up-and-coming artists whose albums I've been excitedly awaiting. And, of course, Felix had to balance things out with one of his favorite jazz vocalists. As per usual, we're all about whiplash here at Alt.Latino, but in a way that hopefully will make you the favorite DJ at your next fiesta. — AnaArtists and albums featured in this episode(03:52) Cultura Profética, 'En bucle'(09:53) Claudia Acuna, 'Ave de Luz: Chilean Jazz & Soul'(13:52) Mari Froes, 'Esquina do Sol'(17:36) Valeria Stewart, 'On A Wing'(21:17) Raquel Dimantas, 'Cosmo Dorme'(24:37) Ladrones, 'Arriba La L'This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.

In June, the most capable American AI models stopped shipping as public launches and started shipping through a government gate. Six weeks later the gate is open again — and the real fight has moved to the layer no gate can touch. A Chinese open-weight model rattled trillions out of chip stocks, Washington pivoted from gating American closed models to threatening bans on Chinese open ones, the industry mounted its largest-ever policy counter-mobilization, and an American frontier model literally broke out of its lab and hacked another company. Knee-jerk reactions, or the beginning of real AI governance?

Being nerds, we also discuss the latest gadgets and pop culture news Subscribe To Our Podcast Bertrand Introduction Welcome to Tech Deciphered Episode 80. This one, once again, will be all about AI, government, frontier models, and open weight counterstrike. A lot has been happening in the regulation space, in cybersecurity, in the launch of new models in the past, maybe just 6–8 weeks. It’s actually pretty insane how much happened. We believe it was time to do an episode to talk about where we are and maybe where all of this is going. Maybe let’s start with a summary of where we stand, all that June and July saga, so you, our listeners, can get up to speed if you are not already there. You want to start with some points? Nuno The Gate Opens Yeah. Again, to your point, the gate swings. The gate had closed. We had to prepare an episode for the gate closing, and then the gate reopened. Now we have a different episode. This will probably change again as we’re seeing there’s news every day. Let’s start maybe with the first 19 days of the gate closing. There was an executive order on June 2nd from President Trump that asked frontier labs to share models with the government, 30 days pre-release. It inferred the protected frontier model designation into that. Basically, it was effectively a de facto licensing agreement defined by an executive order of the President as of June 2nd. On June 9th, Anthropic launched Fable 5 and the famous Mythos 5 or Mythos. I’m not sure how you actually say it in English. Then on June 12th, there was an export control directive banning access by any foreign national. Since there’s no way to verify nationality in real-time, Anthropic had to switch the models off for everyone worldwide. Bertrand On this point, you could argue that there are possibilities to check IDs. Many services let you check IDs online. You can pre-check a flight by showing your ID. There are ways, it’s just that if you don’t want to follow what’s already available, because guess what? Maybe it slowed down your revenue growth, maybe it looks bad on you or whatever. My point is that there was actually an option. I think it’s already a decision from Anthropic to say it’s either on or off, but nothing in between. Nuno I think the point is they had no way implemented of doing it. If they implemented it, to your point, it would have hampered use in general. A lot of people wouldn’t have gone through that trouble of doing it. Anyway, long story short, in June 26th, the White House apparently asked OpenAI to limit GPT-5.6, so Sol, Terra, Luna, to only 20 vetted partners. Now, apparently, the trigger for a lot of these things that have been going on was that there was a jailbreak that was found by Amazon researchers. All of that led to this jumping around of, let’s close the gates. You have foreign nationals, and therefore, Anthropic got it out and said, “Hey, then we’re going to switch the models off until we can sort this out.” OpenAI was asked also to only allow it for certain vetted partners, et cetera. The government came in, closed the gates effectively, and said, “From now on, we need to be involved in this thing.” De facto regulation, there’s no doubt that this has imposed de facto regulation, certainly on the top players in the market. But then came the reversal. Bertrand, do you want to talk about the reversal, the gate swinging the other side? Bertrand Maybe I just wanted to say that as a user of Anthropic products, ChatGPT products, for the brief moments, a few days where Fable 5 was made available to the public before it was closed the first time, I immediately started using it. I must say it was a real issue to use it because the guardrails were pretty crazy. It would keep saying that my code was not okay, there was cybersecurity risk and stuff when I was doing absolutely reasonable development with absolutely no connection whatsoever to any cybersecurity risk, attack, detection, anything. Still, it would keep blocking me, degrading me to Opus 4.8 at the time. I just want to say this was already very hardcore what they were implementing, and not just hardcore, but in some ways, plain stupid for something that’s supposed to be super smart. It was totally unable to classify properly some of my work. I must say I was already disappointed. On top of it, the costs were insane. Half a day, I would reach my limits when I had the best plan you can get from Anthropic. My point is that there were some real serious issues when they launched Fable 5, even at that point. Nuno I had a similar issue. I used Fable 5 as well before they had to take it offline or take it off. I think the issue was really not that the guardrails failed. As you said, maybe the guardrails were actually too aggressive, but it was this jailbreak that caused the recall, apparently caused this knee-jerk reaction. Bertrand But my point is that it seems that it was not working either way. It would either overclassify something that’s absolutely not doing anything wrong, and it might fail to classify something that is actively trying to do some cybersecurity work. It’s a real issue of quality for a company that’s supposed to be at the forefront of quality of AI and everything. I think for me, there are already signs that something is deeply wrong. Nuno Then it’s reversed, right? We went the other way around. The government came out on June 26th and approved redeploying Mythos 5 to US organizations defending critical infrastructure, and then the export controls were effectively lifted on June 30th. July 1st, Fable 5 came back online for all of us to use. Shocking enough, with strings attached, that were different. They had some time to revise their commercial deployment of it along the way because it came back with some, “Now you have usage credits, but you have some limits on plan use, et cetera.” I’m like, “You guys, this was blocked. But meanwhile, you did have some time to do some commercial stuff around it.” Bertrand It was crazy. I’ve never witnessed any such crappy launch of any service whatsoever in 30 years in tech, it was so bad. Every day, they would change the terms of service. They would tell you it’s part of the plan. It’s not part of the plan. It’s part of the plan for three more days, and then it’s excluded. You have a special discount now, but then it goes back to full price. It was a total nightmare. I’ve never felt myself being so much mistreated by a company. I guess you saw the same, but when I started using the newest version of Fable 5, it was even worse, actually, I think. I couldn’t do any work with this crap. I let it go and work on the work I wanted it to do. It was simply not working. On top of it, you never know how long you are supposed to lose your credit, how fast. It was burning credit like crazy. Me, personally, I can say, very quickly, I actually stopped using it. I was like, “No, I cannot deal with this shit. My main model is back to Opus 4.8. I’m going to use Fable 5 for code review, but not anymore to control anything because I cannot trust it would do the job without stopping or changing models and stuff. I just cannot trust it.” Back to Opus 4.8 as my main model, I can say that my life was much easier. I use Fable 5 as a review mechanism, as a support mechanism, but not as the main mechanism. Suddenly, the guardrails were not so horrible anymore because it was used in a much lighter way, I guess. As a pain as a user, I think it was really bad. I don’t know your experience, but me, for me, it was unacceptable. Nuno I wouldn’t say it was as bad as yours in terms of just end-user experience. I think the terms of service switching back and forth, which went one further step, because then when they then launched Opus 5, they started making comparisons between Opus 5 and Fable so that people would migrate more and more to Opus 5 themselves, which is interesting. It’s like they’re saying “This is much cheaper. This is whatever. You’re not going to run of credits. You should use Opus 5,” kind of thing effectively. To your point, I don’t think they managed well the launch. They didn’t really manage it well. We’re moving people around. A lot of people are using this for stuff that’s like daily tasks, hourly tasks, anything that relates to code and co-work. It’s like, we need to have visibility on what your terms of service are going to be. Should I be using this new model or not? What’s happening to the other model? I don’t see it as negatively as you, Bertrand, but I see your point. It was clearly mishandled in terms of how they deployed it, how they were redesigning effectively their pricing scheme and their terms of service almost on a daily basis, at a certain point in time. We’re like, “Dude, there’s millions of people using this. You guys are making a lot of money.” Just moving it as it is. At this point in time, at the scale that these guys are at, it’s calling in people to say, how about we think through a class action suit at some point around pricing? Because you guys are changing the rules of the game all the time, right? Bertrand I don’t know if I need the class action, but for me, that joke that, “Let’s not rush too fast. The model is dangerous.” But still, they rushed the launch because it’s very clear that if they had enough compute capacity and stuff, they would not have to limit so much. They would not have to put so much cost per token and all of this. You can see that actually when they launch Opus 5, literally like 2, 3 weeks after, by most benchmark at launch, they tell you basically that, “You know what? Actually, Opus 5 is better than Fable 5 on 80% of the metrics.” They’re like, “What? Seriously? You couldn’t wait 2 weeks? Why did you even launch Fable 5 in the first place?” That’s another part for me that is quite literally insane, to be frank. It’s like, “Why? Why do you make us go through so much pain if it’s only to tell us after 2 weeks to…” “This new model, by the way, has less issues, less stuff, because 2, 3 times less is part of your plan, and it’s actually better by most metrics.” It’s like, “What’s going on here? What’s going on? Are you guys mad?” I don’t know. It was crazy. Personally, I still use Opus, now 5, as my main system and platform, Fable 5 for review, code reviews and the like. I don’t want to run into its stupid guardrails. I can see Fable 5, from my perspective, seems quite a bit smarter. I don’t know why they do this stupid benchmark showing you it’s actually worse than Opus 5. I guess they should have better benchmark if they want to demonstrate why you are supposed to pay 2, 3x more for a model versus another if it’s actually worse by most benchmark. Again, I still think it’s a huge mess from a marketing perspective, customer perspective. Me as a user, I really feel that they don’t want my money, and they couldn’t care less about me. This is even before everything else we’re trying to talk about. Nuno Yes. Maybe just to close the cycle on the reversal on the door opening the other way, finally, Commerce lifted the GPT-5.6 restrictions on July 8th, and then on July 9th, general availability across ChatGPT, Codex, and the API as well. What has this proved? It proved that now we have gating mechanisms, and certainly for closed models in the US, for sure. We had frontier models that were switched off worldwide in hours, and it took a couple of days, in this case, 19 days to restore them. There were concessions. Now we know that there were concessions around effectively institutionalizing that gate. Early government access to future models is, I think, now a given, certainly in the US. New safeguard frameworks are probably now having to be put in place. There are some stage limits now on who gets access to what for new models and how it happens. This voluntary executive order, so to speak, not really sure, has become effectively regulation enforcement path. It’s de facto regulation that now has been put in place. It has affected not just to the points we were making before, the access to these models, but also who gets access to these models, and actually potentially even pricing access to the models. It has probably some commercial implications as well as we just discussed along the way. Very significant. This is very significant. This is regulation, de facto at the table, imposed on the two largest players in the market by far by one government, in this case, the US government. This is significant. Actually, you could even allege it was imposed by the President because this was coming as part of executive orders. Really incredible. Pretty significant, fast, aggressive. It has created a regime that you could say it’s a regulatory regime, it’s a de facto regulatory regime. It has some significant pricing and licensing and commercial implications. It goes even beyond your classic regulatory framework. Very, very, very significant. Bertrand I don’t know if it goes beyond a classic regulatory framework. Nuno I think it does, because it has implications on who do you give access to? When government is saying you can only give access to these players, right? Bertrand Defense industry. It’s all over the defense industry. You cannot sell an F-35 like this. Nuno No, but that has commercial implications, Bertrand. That’s like you’re saying these are your customers, you go and use them. Bertrand That’s the defense industry. You cannot sell to Iran your F-35. No, that’s exactly the same story for me. Nuno No, no, no. It’s beyond that. These guys are saying when they came back, and they said, “For Mythos, you can make them available to these entities,” they were saying the first entities that are going to have access to the model. It has commercial regulatory implications. You’re saying these players are the first players that are going to have access to it. It’s no longer just defense concerns and these governments don’t have access to this. No, no, no. You’re saying to a company that is a private company, your models are only going to be used by these guys because I’m telling you so. It’s the other way around. It’s not even that you can’t sell it to Iran or whatever. It’s like you can only sell it to these guys. Bertrand Again, in the defense industry, if you’re a private company, do you think you can buy F-35 like this? No. Nuno No, no, no. But this is a private company, Bertrand. This is not a defense agency and a plane that is on whatever, with IP from the US, right? Bertrand Boeing is a private company, and they cannot sell the military equipment they manufacture. Nuno No, no, no. But the development of their IP was subsidized by agencies that belong to the US, right? That’s a different matter. It’s a matter of IP, right? This is not, right? Anthropic, their models are not owned by the US government. There’s no IP granted to the US government, to my knowledge. This has significant commercial implications. Bertrand Maybe, yes. Maybe on this. But I think there are already regimes to limit who you can sell to, and that’s decided by the state or the DOD. Nuno It’s the export control logic. The export control logic? Bertrand You have export control, and export control is Commerce. My point is that they are using existing tools, part of the government, to limit what can be sold. Selling chips, NVIDIA was limited in terms of where it could sell its chips. It’s not different either, but still there were limitations. If you are an ASML, you cannot sell to a private company in China. Many private companies cannot buy ASML products. This is a foreign company. This is a foreign company under pressure from US government. Nuno I understand, and I’m not a lawyer, but it feels different to me when you say you cannot export, this is export controls, to these countries, to these entities, et cetera, because they’re foreign et cetera. Then to say, “No, no, no. On top of that, these guys get first access.” That’s, for me, a significant shift. Again, I’m not a lawyer, so I’m sure there’s very intelligent people right now looking at this stuff and saying, “You can’t do this stuff, or not, or they can.” I don’t know. But it feels to me, it goes beyond the remit of export controls. It’s like you’re defining initial clients for specific use. Bertrand My impression is more like, “We can do this situation where we’re going to forbid you to give access to anyone outside the US or even in the US or limit even more.” Basically, it was, I guess, some gesture to go beyond that. That’s how they probably defined these 20 authorized companies. I don’t know. Apparently, there was also restrictions because I remember seeing that Anthropic had their own list of companies they would authorize access to Mythos early on. That’s apparently another thing that pissed off state government because there were companies in there that were considered close to the Chinese government. They were extremely unhappy that Anthropic didn’t ask, actually, for any guidance from the state government, but used basically their own perspective on who they should allow or not. I guess that was also part of why they got these serious restrictions. Nuno Anyway, now we have a regulatory environment that’s very interesting and exciting. Talk about the US not regulating. Bertrand To be clear, I don’t know you, but I’m not saying that I agree with any of this, to be very clear. I’m trying to explain and share some perspective, but I’m not in agreement on a lot of this. Nuno Yes, we were just describing what happened to the best of our knowledge. We’re having a discussion on what we think actually is happening and how it’s happening. We’re not really right now saying we agree or disagree with this. I think later in the episode, we can share some perspectives on what we think is actually happening and how there’s dimensions to this which are very geopolitical and very complex, which quite literally probably only God knows what’s going to happen. That was the gate swinging. There was a gate closing, then there was a gate reopening, and all of a sudden we have a gatekeeping system that has been created along the way. The Kimi Shock Along the way, moving to our Act 2, the world has changed, and we now have so-called open-source plays out there that are creating massive, massive shifts in the market. The Chinese models, in particular, with Moonshot AI launching Kimi K3, which is the largest open-weight model ever released. We’ll come back to the discussion around open-weights. I’m not sure all our listeners understand what that means, because there’s a debate now, should models be open weight or not, and how does that work? There’s been a petition as well signed along the way. Right now, we have open weight models that are out there that are huge. What that actually means very pragmatically is we now have open source models, lack of a better word. I know open weight and open source are not the same thing. You guys will have to bear with us during this episode. We’ll explain at some point the differences. But we have models out there that are open source that are significant. That are catching up with the closed source models, with the models by OpenAI, Anthropic. That’s significant because most of those models are Chinese. This is where the geopolitics starts getting really frazzling and we start playing 3D chess. Because everyone’s like, “These models are 5, 6 months behind.” Now people are saying, “Maybe they’re actually just 3 months behind, 2, 3 months behind.” If we, for example, decided to stop or slow down our model releases in the US by the closed source guys who are leading, it might mean they’ll catch up. What are the implications of that? Again, for you and I that are not necessarily experts in model development, well, the implications as a use case is if you want to use the latest models, and the best models start becoming these open source models, you’re going to use those models. Then you start using Chinese models. If you’re an American company, maybe you’ll have restrictions on the use of those Chinese models. But if you’re a European company, you probably won’t. What happens after that? Is the world going to be in the hand of Chinese models? Will that constitute effective competition to the closed models in the US? Will we have open models in the US that will scale as well? What’s going to happen? Bertrand I think it’s a really big question. It goes to some of the core of the issue. It’s that ability of Chinese models to basically challenge frontier models, not just being 6, 12 months late, but being 6 weeks late. Basically, no gap. Some will say that, yes, but OpenAI and Anthropic have even better models that are not shared and stuff. Yes, sure. But maybe the Chinese have the same models that they are not sharing right now. We don’t know. What is clear is that one is that open weight, as you said, two, there is a question of how it is marketed in the sense of, can anyone use these weights? Is there a license to use them? Yes, what we can see is that, for instance, typically there is a license for some of the biggest Chinese open-weight models you have to abide with. You might have a need for a commercial license if you are acting as a company leveraging this model to provide AI-informed services. If you use it internally by yourself, you’re okay. If you use it internally for your own internal company needs, maybe you are okay if it’s not your main business to do AI work. Anything else, a much bigger corporate providing AI services and stuff, you will probably end up having to pay a fee to be able to provide services around this model. My point is that it’s not just 100% free. Some of the Chinese models are 100% free to use, MIT license, Apache 2.0 license. But the biggest ones with the biggest weight that are truly frontier typically have a different license if you want to scale these models, providing AI in front. That’s one thing to keep in mind. Nuno Maybe just to make a very quick point, because people are like, when you talk about open models, what does it mean right now? In the context of this episode, open models mostly will mean open-weight models. How do those differ from open source? Open weight means that you release the weights to the public, which means that anyone can download, fine-tune, and run the model on their own hardware. It doesn’t normally mean that you also have access to training data, training code, or a truly open license. That’s the distinction to open source. Open-weight doesn’t mean that. For example, we’ve talked about Meta’s Llama in the past, and we also discussed in the past that their license agreement does have restrictions, certain players can’t use it, et cetera. The open model definition and open weights are really open-weight models that we’re talking about here, and they are closer to freeware binaries than to Linux, for those who understand the difference between that. It’s binaries that you can use and then use your own weights on it versus actually I can change code on it. I’m not going to be able to change code on this. When we, for the purposes of this episode, talk about open, we mention open weight, just to clarify that point to everyone that’s listening right now. Bertrand Yes, that’s a great point. One of the only players, as far as I know, who is truly open source is actually NVIDIA with their Nemotron-3 models. They’re actually following a special license to achieve that. They provide you the data, they provide you all the processes and tools, so you can easily post-train. NVIDIA is a big, big exception. It’s a very interesting player, by the way. We might not talk much about it in this episode, but I think for intermediate-size models built in the US, where you have access to everything in the deployment, it’s a very interesting alternative and maybe one of the best choices if you are a US company or a big corporate, and you want something trusted. Another piece of the puzzle to clarify is that when you use open-weight, it means that you can run them by yourself, or you can use a US provider to run them. If we are talking about Chinese open-weight, you can use the APIs they provide, but then the service is running in China, they might have access to your data. But because it’s open weight, if you run it by yourself or if you use a third-party provider based in the US to run it, then there is no access to your data by China or Chinese players. I think that’s a pretty important gap to understand. It means that these models are actually very, very low risk from that perspective if you run them on your premises or in the US by a US player. I think that’s something to keep in mind. You can also fine-tune easily these models to make sure they will behave in a way that, for instance, is not going to represent the line of the Communist Party on some topics. There are ways to make these models more neutral in their output as well. There are a lot of ways to make good use of them. By default, they’re already very safe, but you can make them even more safe. I think that’s some things to keep in mind. But again, it depends ultimately on the license and what you’re authorized to do and some fees you might end up having to pay. Nuno Why did this matter so much? Immediately there was a reaction from the market because people are like, well, if there’s much better stuff out there that’s much more efficient than it’s open, then it might be that all the demand that we are taking into account, for example, for chipsets actually isn’t real. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell into bear market territory. It went down by as much as 20% plus from the late June peak. The worst chip week since April 2025. Taiwan’s benchmark initially fell 6% plus, Japan’s 4%, TSMC dropped dramatically despite beating earnings and rising guidance. Basically, a huge amount of effect. Now, there’s a little bit the aftermath of this where apparently Moonshot ran out of GPU capacity. Maybe… Bertrand In just 48 hours. Nuno In 48 hours. Great for them, but at the same time, not great in the sense that maybe there was a misread by Wall Street of the Kimi effect, so to speak. Bertrand Completely. For me, that’s such a joke. It’s like, because you have an open source model, so what? I mean, you still need to run it. This is not a small one. 2.8 trillion parameters. Good luck running that in your garage, by the way. Nuno They misread supply, basically. Tough luck, right? All of that basically happens. Bertrand Maybe you want to talk about the Jevons paradox, because I think that’s a big part of the puzzle as well. Its one is they might not have the GPUs to run the inference on the model. They might have enough to build a model, but not enough these days to run inference, especially given how much with intelligent models, thinking models, you need way more inference than before. But on top of it, the cheaper you make it, the more you get to the Jevons paradox. Nuno Yes, Jevons paradox, for those who don’t know, is an economic term. It describes an economic phenomenon where technological improvements that increase the efficiency of a resource lead to an increase rather than a decrease in the total consumption of that resource. What that means is, for example, for chipsets, chipsets become so much better, and they are so much more efficient. You’re like, well, maybe normally in resource terms, that leads to decreased usage of that resource. But in this case, it actually leads to an increased use of that resource rather than a decrease. There’s more and more consumption of that resource. You need more and more chipsets because people actually need to do more and more stuff with it, although there are great efficiencies going into it. There’s the efficiency gain, there’s the cost reduction, and there’s the price-elasticity element to it. But basically, the adoption just continues going through the roof along the way. Bertrand In some ways, it’s like the price of energy. Coal went cheaper and cheaper, and people were asking the same question 150 years ago, now that it gets cheaper, there is not much money. No, no. Actually, what happens is that people find more and more use for coal. Homes are getting heated more. You have ships now using coal. You have manufacturing using coal. The cheaper it gets, the more use case you can develop, and therefore, you don’t need less of the stuff, you need more of the stuff. By going at scale to get more of the stuff, you also decrease price, making even more demand. It’s a very interesting phenomenon, but it’s not new. It is what happened for a while in the energy sector and some other sectors. Nuno We already started talking about the Chinese logic and what’s happening. Getting a little bit of a reality check on this. The Chinese models, and these are numbers from Open Router in July, Chinese models are at 46.4% of routed tokens and 35.7% for US origin. Again, more than a third of global AI usage now seems to be running on Chinese open models. This is significant, and it has a huge impact on the geopolitical scale of everything that’s happening. Also, the whole Chinese field is converging on open. Open seems to be a strategy, not just a nice thing that’s happening. It seems to be a Chinese strategy, so much so that you have players like Moonshot, DeepSeek, our old friends DeepSeek, Z.ai’s GLM 5.2, Minimax, and even Alibaba seems to be reversing and going open with Qwen. It feels to me this is becoming policy as well. Xi Jinping has personally endorsed the building of open-source AI, if it’s really open source, if it’s just open weight anyway, and this feels to be a jab at Washington, DC and the fact that the big closed models are coming from the US. This is now geopolitical 4D chess, right? We didn’t need this stuff. Bertrand To be clear, it’s the usual in tech. If you are not number one, you are number two, number three, your alternative is to go open source because that’s another angle that your competitor usually cannot follow without destroying its own business model. That has been the alternative for the past 20 years of most software projects. Here, what’s different is that it’s not the number one or number two player. It’s the US number one as a country, China number two as a country. That’s where it’s new. For me, what’s very interesting is the endorsement by Xi Jinping. I was waiting for something official, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. As you said, there was an immediate U-turn of Alibaba, who in the past… Nuno Surprisingly. Bertrand Yes, a little more like, “yes, we are going to close and stop open source. It was good while it lasted.” Just a few days ago, Qwen 3.8 Max was launched, and we are supposed to get the weight in a few days. We talk about the US administration policy and stuff. Yes, let’s not forget that in China there is similar stuff. Sometimes it’s totally invisible because you don’t see the directives, but they exist as much. Sometimes it’s more visible. Here it was quite visible. The difference in China is that if you don’t abide by the directive, on top of it, you might have to fear for your personal safety. It’s a different game, and that’s probably why the reaction is pretty quick, usually. That’s pretty interesting for me because it means that now you can bet for a while that China is going to play that game up to a point. I guess the point is if it’s truly frontier scale, you will have a special license that, yes, technically the weights are open, but you can not do everything you want with it. Two, you have a player like NVIDIA that I think will feel more pressure to provide even more high quality, larger models at scale going forward. Their largest Nemotron-3 Ultra model was, if I remember well, only around 500 billion parameters. I would not be surprised for NVIDIA to go into the two, three trillion range at some point. Because I think the US need a very clear US-born alternative open source. I think NVIDIA might be the best player for that. We will see if Meta goes back to open source. I think NVIDIA is one, very well positioned, but two, it’s also in their best interest. Because NVIDIA for now depends on just a few big hyperscalers as clients. If they can expand their clients to every S&P 500 companies, selling them directly hardware because now these companies can run a model made by NVIDIA, I think there is a very clear value proposition for NVIDIA to go in that space. Again, if you are number two, your differentiation, open source is often the answer. There is a true business as a business model for companies, because if it’s truly not just open weight, but open source, you can tweak it as much as you want, you can change it, you can change even the pre-training process. Because there is a lot of stuff you can do that really benefits you as a corporate, and you can reach a much better value by having more control on the model. Nuno We won’t spend a ton of time on it today, but like, again, if there’s a view that we are in a bubble, that the valuations cannot be sustained in chipsets, infrastructure platforms, applied AI, et cetera, today, this might be that beginning, where the valuations start being destroyed because you can’t keep a premium on just charging people for tokens and all that stuff if you have models that become more and more efficient and cheaper to use. Maybe just to close a little bit the geopolitical part of the discussion today, we won’t go into all the announcements from China because there were many, a lot of go back and forth with Alibaba by then. Xi Jinping made some announcements. You guys can check it online. Let’s move quickly to Washington’s reaction, which was from gating the US closed models to banning the Chinese open ones. There’s been as strong affirmations as one can get from the Office of Science and Technology Policy Director, Michael Kratzios, mentioning that they have information that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Fable. Basically, there’s been reverse engineering and stuff in the market. They’re basically copying. Bertrand I’m sorry to interrupt, but it feels like so much bullshit. It’s coming from Anthropic who has basically gotten access at scale to all the knowledge made by humanity, copyrighted or not. We’ll talk more about what they did with books. Then to claim after that that others cannot do to you what you did to everybody else. For me, it’s pretty big. It’s clearly unacceptable. The other piece is that everyone is doing distillation. It’s a very typical approach of every business model. You try other software when you are competing with somebody else. You try other datasets, you check what’s happening. It’s part of doing business for decades. Suddenly it’s not good for Anthropic. I personally have a lot of trouble to accept that. I think it’s totally unacceptable. The other piece of the puzzle will also go back. If these guys are so smart, if these guys have so much of the best model, why can’t they block by themselves distillation at scale? The only answer is that either they are morons, probably not, or they simply don’t want to because it’s going towards their business model. Suddenly, you book less revenues and stuff, or you put more friction, and therefore your customers don’t like it. Instead of doing it yourself, you ask the government to protect you, go out of business practice that is very typical. For me, it’s really, really, really not good. Sorry, we are going more in the opinion side, but I had to put that on the table. Nuno Yes, Fable went public finally again on July first. Question marks on whether distillation would only be possible from July first onwards or not. But a 15-day distillation to frontier, which is K3, launched on July 15th, would have been a Guinness World Record, as one of Moonshot employees actually mentioned. It’s very implausible and unlikely. Bertrand Or they shared the Mythos 5 with the wrong companies, who themselves shared with Chinese companies. We go back to maybe they didn’t have a good list. Again, it goes back to maybe they didn’t want to hurt their business model. Nuno Anyway, under the threat of sanctions, Moonshot, in any case, open-sourced the full K3 weights and technical reports. They open weighted it to become the largest open weight model in the world in terms of parameters. Beijing’s MOFCOM brands US threats as basically the US wanting to fundamentally control and be monopolistic around AI along the way. The administration bans Chinese hardware with an eye on the AI race, and Beijing warns of retaliation. That was July 27. Now we’re in a war between Beijing and DC. Bertrand Just to finish maybe on China, it’s important to know that they are building their own GPUs now. Huawei has pretty good, not to NVIDIA level, but pretty decent GPU hardware that they’re able to manufacture by themselves. A Chinese player of memory just got IPO’d a few days ago, CXMT. China is also developing their own memory. Again, not to the same level of quality that you can get from the West. But China is moving. It’s not just that they are building great models, it’s also that they are building GPUs and memory. That might be a few years late to the latest standards in the West, but there are definitely improvements. I also read, even on the tools to make manufacturing like ASML equivalent, there is definitely some work going on, and some improvements and some stuff will be visible. In some ways, the genie starts to get out of the bottle from the Chinese perspective. Nuno I’ll put a stick on the ground. I don’t think it’s a matter of if, it’s a matter of when will China surpass and have a lot of this tooling on their own side, and not just the software layer, not just the frontier models. I think it’s also going to be around infrastructure and platform. Good luck to everyone. Let’s see how the race continues. But it’s definitely this is a geopolitical thing right now. It’s definitely a race. The Escape Maybe moving to what happened in just 2 weeks or a week and a half. The escape, there was some jailbreaking going on, and the narrative on safety has totally switched. It’s not still significant enough that’s like, “Oh, we saw a nuclear plant going, whatever.” No. But still, it is significant. Hugging Face, the AI company, disclosed an intrusion, and it was driven end-to-end by an autonomous AI agent system at machine speed, running for days before detection. Now, this is where it gets really cool. OpenAI takes attribution on that. They initially said it was just a little bit, sorry. Then they said, actually, it was worse than that. “Oh, it broke out of an isolated sandbox.” “Oh, no, actually, it was more than that, and it went into other systems as well.” Bertrand Truly, the genie out of the bottle. Nuno No, but this is where it gets really cool, Bertrand, right? Because it actually, Hugging Face contained the intrusion by running a Chinese open-weight model, GLM 5.2. This is beautiful, right? Bertrand Yes. You know why? Because they couldn’t even run their own defense because both Anthropic and OpenAI would not let them access their latest models with the guardrails off. When they tried using it for defense, the latest from Anthropic, from ChatGPT, they would tell them, “No, this is too dangerous what you’re asking us to do.” Preventing an intrusion, helping defend you. No way we are going to do that. Nuno No. Let’s use the Chinese models on our infrastructure. Bertrand We have no choice but to use the Chinese models to run. More than that, we don’t let you use our models to defend yourself, but our not yet released models that run without guardrails, they can attack you. This is probably the most insane from that perspective. Nuno The Chinese models came to the rescue. Bertrand For me, that’s a perfect example because Hugging Face is a very visible company in AI in open source. But anybody who is not at that scale is not going to get some support from OpenAI or Anthropic when this happens. Maybe these guys won’t even recognize they did anything wrong. You will be left to defend by yourself because they won’t accept to support you. Because remember, if you want the better model that is able to defend you from cybersecurity perspective, no way. If you are not one of the few top 20 companies or so, as defined, you are left defenseless. Again, we are going back to opinion, but for me, it’s so shocking what’s happening right now. I’m very glad we have alternative open source to be able to defend ourselves because right now, good luck getting defense services if you are a smaller business and individuals, and you need support from Anthropic, OpenAI. Nuno Now, even self-described AI optimists are saying, “This is scary now.” Like Walter Isaacson, who wrote all the famous biography books. There’s now discussion around the AI Kill Switch Act, bipartisan thing that’s coming across from Texas and California, a potential bill that’s coming in. We’ll see if that works. Now let’s get an off-switch. I’m like, “Cool.” As if that’s going to solve the problem, because you have open-weight models on the other side catching up, right? Bertrand Yeah, sure. Bring in clueless politicians from Congress to solve our problems. Yes, sure. Nuno Anthropic came to the table, helped build and said they built some regulatory machine on their side, and now they’re getting bitten by it, and they’re part of the offending players in that market. Now there’s all this debate and all this discussion around open weight and around slowing down AI and et cetera, which is our next section. You wanted to say something, Bertrand. Tell us. Bertrand Don’t forget, because this advertisement for OpenAI was just too good. Our AI attacked some other companies, and not just one, but three, actually. Let’s not forget the progress. Great ads. Then I came and said, “You know what? AI also hacked businesses.” You’re not the only one hacking around with a crazy AI out of control. You’re not the only one. We want our advertising. For me, it was shocking that on one side, unreleased models that you let run wild. On the other hand, you have released models that you put crazy guardrails on top of it, so the defender are defenseless. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I really hope that there will be as little regulation as possible, quite frankly, to make sure anyone can defend themselves and have the best tool at their disposal, not just a few well-connected big corporates. This is really, really shocking. The Counterstrike and the Petition Nuno Now the empire strikes back, so this is counterstrike, the petitions. In several days, we have now a bunch of petitions. The first one was the open weights letter. Bertrand, do you want to explain to us what the open weights letter is? Bertrand Yeah. I think it was great. This was released by Jensen Huang, first ever post on X, 11 million views. Congrats, Jensen. Co-signed with Microsoft, Meta, c actually was probably the initiator of this letter. Very good letter saying, “Hey, we need open weight. This is not a joke. We need that. You cannot block open weight.” Because that’s the rumor we are getting that potentially open weight could get blocked. I think they are making the case, “You know what? Hey, we absolutely need that as an alternative. You cannot block it.” They can keep their closed models, but don’t force a closure of the open weight models. As I said before, it’s actually a great model for NVIDIA because NVIDIA doesn’t want, probably rightfully so, to be dependent on just a few frontier models, their best customers. They want a variety of customers. They have a big interest actually to defend open weight and to invest even more. They have great researchers, are a great company. If one company is about to do really kick-ass work, I think it’s them. They are defending. What’s great is that it’s not just them. It’s basically most of big tech in the US and outside the US, from a Linux Foundation to a Microsoft, the Palantir, an IBM, a Dell. It’s a who’s who of the industry except Anthropic. Anthropic didn’t sign that. I guess they hate open source so much. If I look at 20 years ago, it feels like Microsoft, after all, was very kind to open source. You remember what was said by Microsoft at the time. It’s clear there is one company against open source. OpenAI signed the letter. Honestly, I don’t know what to think. Do they really believe in it or was it just a way to show that they are not like Anthropic? I don’t know. But for the rest, I think it’s genuine because it’s actually in their best interest. I hope they will be heard. Then a second letter came, the Open Secure AI Alliance, NVIDIA-led and again, the big tech companies from Microsoft, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Databricks, Palantir, all those, but not present, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Here it’s to say, “Hey, we need a secure approach to AI. Open should be part of the equation.” guess what? The worst AI-caused security incident to date was actually caused by closed frontier models that were not even available to the public. While again, not providing you access to even the latest closed model for cybersecurity use case. Nuno I would highlight the NVIDIA open source NOOA framework, Apache 2.0 licensing agreement, Microsoft contributed the MDASH, SpaceX AI contributed Grok Build. Cool stuff. There’s some cool stuff happening around that. This is more than a letter. This is an alliance. Apparently, they’re contributing all this stuff, we’ll see. Yeah, cool stuff. Same day. Same day, Amodei has an answer, right? Bertrand Yeah, same day. They say, “We never advocated for a ban,” which, again, opinion on my side is entirely bullshit. This guy has been crying wolf against everybody else, and especially against open source. You can see him doing testimony in Congress against open source. I think they are doing everything they can behind the scene to block open source in the US or in the world if they could. I think, yeah, obscurity is not good safety. I’m a big fan of open source in general, and I’m also a big fan in AI. I think it’s now Anthropic, mostly against the rest of the world. I think OpenAI is mostly on their side, to be frank. They don’t want to acknowledge it so much, but they have shared interest, and they have shared probably position. Nuno Why would you? I don’t feel as strongly as you because I think Anthropic is a private company, right? The same thing with OpenAI. OpenAI, you could say it’s a nonprofit that has a for-profit. There’s still that complexity in there. Bertrand No, they can do what they want with their own product. But to block others is where I’m not okay. That’s the part I’m not okay. Nuno What Dario Amodei is proposing is more enforcement, right? He’s basically saying you need to do even tighter controls on advanced chips flowing to authoritarian states, enforcement against industrial-scale distillation, whatever that means, right? Bertrand Yeah, which he could do, but all by himself. He doesn’t need the government to do that. Nuno Mandatory safety testing for all sufficiently capable AI, open and closed, right? He’s basically saying, “Okay, I don’t agree with the open weight stuff effectively,” right? He’s just putting it under a different banner. “I agree with this extra regulation.” then obviously, David Sacks responded and say, “Hey, it’s like, bans don’t work for weights. Why do they work for chips?” It’s like, magically, chips are more controllable and bannable. Whatever that is. Then our friend Mark Zuckerberg, just to be clear, goes on the other side as well, because he also has to have a view. He has to have a view that is the rebuttal of both of the other guys. Bertrand I feel he’s a bit flip-flopping because he was very pro open source 2 years ago, and the latest Meta models went closed source. Now I think he’s back open source. I don’t think he has a very strong spine on the topic, but it’s good to see that he’s not a doomer. That for me is great. He’s showing how AI can be a source for progress, a source for entrepreneurship, source for freedom. I think that’s very exciting to hear that. We need to hear more of it. By the way, that’s not what you hear in China, for instance. AI is very positive in China. It’s in the US with the doomers that you hear this discourse, and people get worried as a result. I’m glad that he was pushing for a more positive vision and for support of open weight, open source initiatives. But let’s see what they really truly open weight going forward. Nuno But that’s been his position because I guess he’s standing behind. He thinks open weight is going to be the best way to compete, right? Bertrand Yeah, but he closed his latest model, so let’s see. Nuno Yeah, so it’s flip-flopping, as you’re saying. Then we see the latest petition from last week. Bertrand The true Empire striking back. Nuno Yeah, the true Empire striking back as of late last week. Maybe this is Return of the Jedi, where we discover the father, “I’m your father, Luke.” That’s the pacing petition. The pacing petition is we need to pace AI. There you have initially employees from OpenAI and Anthropic that circulate this petition. Actually, Dario did sign this petition originally. It wasn’t signed originally by Anthropic, but by him. But you’ve heard that now Anthropic and OpenAI as companies have also signed this petition, right? Bertrand I think they have signed as companies now. It started mostly by Anthropic researchers with some OpenAI researcher and a tiny part from other companies. But it was mostly Anthropic internally led, at least potentially internally. Maybe it was controlled by Anthropic all along, I don’t know. But it started officially as Anthropic employee-led letter. Nuno What does this letter actually say? Is Anthropic and OpenAI, are they willing to slow down themselves? Or are they asking President Trump to go around the world and tell President Xi that he needs to slow down and ask his guys to slow down? What’s the play of this letter? Bertrand It’s crazy, but for me if you want to slow down yourself. Do whatever you want. Don’t force others. Don’t use the power of the government to control others. Of course, it’s easy to push others to slow down when you are yourself at the very top. You have most money, most resource. You know you are going to win any regulatory framework because that’s how it works with this type of framework. It’s purely self-interested. You are probably not thinking well about these topics. If you truly think it’s a good idea, from a personal perspective, you are well instrumentalized if you sign this sort of stuff, because at the end of the day, they would be the winners. I certainly, personally, don’t want a company dictate what is my future in AI as an individual, as a business person. I don’t want them to control me. I want competition. I don’t want them to unfairly control AI because they managed to do some regulatory capture. I feel that’s exactly their game plan. These guys believe in their stuff, and they want the regulator to end up being the one deciding for us. Sorry, we go back again on the opinion piece, but it’s tough not to share an opinion on this topic because it’s, from my perspective, very scary. Nuno I think this is a push to further regulation, not less. All these letters and alliances, this is definitely a push for more regulation. In that environment, just to be very honest with you, we’ll talk about the investor impact in just a bit, et cetera. But in that environment, again, China has a huge advantage. In that environment, if it’s all captured in regulation capture so soon in this battle where OpenAI and Anthropic have an advantage in the US, et cetera, I’m like, what happens to all the other frontier labs and all the other players that are coming around? Bertrand What’s crazy is to even think that, yeah, maybe you can regulate capture in the US. But then how do you do that to Europe? How do you do that to China? Europe probably will always welcome regulatory capture because they love regulations. But China is going to build to their advantage to the max. They are not crazy. They are smart on that perspective, they won’t accept this type of, quite frankly, dimwit argument, or you can call it regulatory capture. We’ll see. But for me, this makes no sense from a global competition perspective. This can make some sense from capturing the revenue in the US market. But then that means you are going to destroy the US AI environment compared to China. That is not acceptable. That also means that you are going to destroy our freedom as individuals, as business owners to develop and live in a business world that ultimately is controlled by one or two business companies that didn’t win the marketplace through their own business success, but won it through regulations. That for me is really not acceptable. Interlude — The Low-Background Books Nuno Now, maybe for an interlude, and we have to cue in the music, imagine like Severance music, like hallway or a bit of a palate cleanser from all the policy stuff that we’ve been talking about, all this policy heaviness. Let’s move to another kind of heaviness, one of your favorite topics, which you, Bertrand, discovered, I had no clue this was going on, around books and around Anthropic. Bertrand It’s so horrible. From a company that keeps presenting themselves as the adults in the room, the careful ones, the ones that know better than you about what to do in this complex AI and dangerous world. What we discover is that actually all along, they were buying and destroying books. They will buy books, scan them, destroy them, all of them. They will do that with any books, including rare books. Of course, this was not supposed to come to the public’s attention. This was one of these top secret projects, but obviously it came out. Yes, they were scanning books, millions of them, including rare books, and they didn’t care about destroying them at the end of the process. Because from a regulatory perspective, if you destroy the books, it’s not considered a copyright infringement, apparently. This is coming on the back of some judgment a few years ago that were showing that it’s okay for you as a corporate to scan and use the result if you don’t keep a copy of the book. It’s one of these crazy regulations happening based on a single judgment that push you to do. For me, it’s like, you know this book from decades ago, Fahrenheit 471? We’re talking about book burning. It’s book destroying, crunching. It’s so shocking. Nuno There are two things, right? First, the legal strategy, which is what you’re saying, because by purchasing a physical copy and converting it into one private digital copy and discarding the original, Anthropic pursued this cleaner legal argument for fair use copyright compliance. As you said, there was a federal judgment at some point on this. The other reason is actually operational. If you disassemble the book, and you feed loose pages, it’s much faster to scan books. You are destroying the book effectively anyway operationally. I think to your point, probably this came from a legal standpoint, not just the operational one. But even from an operational standpoint, it does make sense that they would have disassembled the book. Bertrand But some people have shown you can go very fast without destroying the book. It’s really not so critical. Two, you could make an exception if the book is rare. For that 1% of book that is rare, I’m not going to have this approach. I’m going to have another approach. But for that, you will have to care about books and not just care about building AI. Nuno This is the episode, as you guys have heard by now, that we’re trying to spit stuff at Anthropic. Bertrand To go back this is the same company saying, “Hey, guys, it’s bad to distillate my work. I’m the one scanning book at scale without asking author permission, without asking publisher permission, to be clear.” Nuno But just to be clear, Bertrand, we’re pissed off at everyone. We’re pissed off at Anthropic, we’re pissed of at OpenAI as well, right? We’re just pissed off in general at this moment. Bertrand At this stage for me, the more clear-cut company that is in the wrong is, from my perspective, at least, is Anthropic. OpenAI might be a fast follower, but I will say so far, they tried to be a bit more. Nuno But at this pace, Bertrand, who knows? Maybe next week we’ll be more pissed off at OpenAI. Something will come out. This episode is a mix of tragicomedy, like a Greek tragedy with some comedy in the middle or the other way around. It’s a slapstick thing that will end up in tragedy. I’m not sure. The Investor Reckoning Anyway, maybe switching to our final act, which is the investor perspective. What does this mean for investors like ourselves? There’s a lot of things going on. There’s the debate around the IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI, which now, with all this uncertainty, might be under significant weight. There’s a lot of other discussions that we browsed through that there’s potential IPOs going forward on companies like the Moonshot AI company actually IPO-ing in the next 6 months as well. It’s very unclear what the IPO landscape looks like. Bertrand There’s been a lot of Chinese IPOs, actually, when you look at what’s happened in the past few months. Nuno Anthropic, OpenAI as potential IPOs, there’s all this question marks now. When will that happen? How will it factor in? All that’s happening around regulation as regulation is moving at the speed of light, which is for once something that’s very different than what we’ve seen before. There’s obviously SpaceX AI, which is already taking into account that price. It’s already a public company in there, and it’s under SpaceX, which is now a public company. Obviously, that’s already being factored in some ways. Bertrand Yeah. SpaceX AI has been very smart to acquire Cursor. It was a very smart move because Cursor is one of the leading companies in terms of automated code source development with AI. They had great models on their own. They’re bringing development data to SpaceX AI Grok. I think it was a great move. Nuno We have now people like Google delaying Gemini 3.5 Pro in terms of launch window. There’s stuff actually happening in the market where things are taking their own path. There’s uncertainty commercially, there’s uncertainty at regulation level. You have new players that have come out of nowhere that are making all these waves like Moonshot. We have all these… We had calculated probably a month and a half, 2 months ago, there had been 67 new frontier labs funded. All of these, we haven’t seen any much coming out of them. When some of this stuff starts coming out, will that also create disruptions in this market? Who knows? Bertrand Look at Thinking Machines, for instance. Thinking Machines led by the previous CTO of OpenAI, they released some pretty interesting open source models, actually. Very good quality for a first launch. Now it looks funny to say, but nearly on par with the top Chinese open source models. Nuno We have several investments in the space. humans& has made some recent announcements, which is quite interesting as well. We’ll see what actually happens in the market, but even more disruption probably will come in actual products in a form of product and commercial, on top of all the geopolitical mess that we discussed through the entire episode. If you’re an investor, how the hell do you underwrite an investment right now in early stage, mid-stage, late stage, et cetera? I think my answer is very carefully is how you underwrite it. Bertrand On your advice of being very careful to underwrite it, let’s not forget what happened to our boy wonder, Leopold Aschenbrenner of Situational Awareness. I guess he didn’t listen to you in terms of being careful because part of the instability in the stock market was actually coming from his hedge fund. These guys were leveraged 3, 4x going after the hottest of the hottest AI stocks, and margin calls, and all their public investment is gone just to answer their margin calls. I think it’s clear that the AI bet is… Personally, I’m very excited, and I think it’s the future, and you need to spend time and think about and invest in it. At the same time, it’s a bet that is not an easy one to follow. We go from GPUs to memories to equipments to power generation. All of this is not transitioning in an easy, organized manner. It would be boom and bust going there. He’s probably one of the first big-scale fatalities. The other big-scale fatality was the stock market in Korea, plunging 40% in a month. Definitely, all of that we discussed about was, on the background, you had the stock market going up and down pretty crazily the past few weeks. Nuno Everyone’s being affected. Everyone, you have your 401(k), you have your pension fund dependent on these equity stocks. Everyone’s seeing the effects of this volatility right now very aggressively. We do wish Leopold… Hopefully he’s on honeymoon right now because he got married, I think, this weekend. Hopefully there will be… Bertrand To none less than an Anthropic Chief of Staff. Nuno His wife is the Chief of Staff of Dario, is that it? Bertrand To Dario, yes, as far as I unders

En 1979, un elegante desconocido que se hacía llamar R.C. Christian llegó a Elberton, Georgia, con instrucciones precisas y dinero de sobra: quería un monumento de granito alineado con el Sol y las estrellas, capaz de sobrevivir cualquier cataclismo. Así nacieron las Georgia Guidestones, seis losas de 119 toneladas con diez mandamientos para la humanidad grabados en ocho idiomas, incluyendo mantener la población mundial bajo 500 millones de personas.  Nadie supo jamás quién las financió: el único hombre que conoció la verdad se llevó el secreto a la tumba. Entre acusaciones de ser el manifiesto del Nuevo Orden Mundial y llamados a la razón, las piedras guía siguen siendo un mensaje sin remitente.
