Hey yall, Alex here, Huge thanks to Wolfram for running point on the live show this week. Didn't have tons of time to edit this one, so please skip the first 10 minutes, it's a loop of our new “wait for the live show to start” vid, that I build with HyperFrames and can't wait to tell you about, next week! Today it seems that OpenSource is biting back, with Kimi K3 getting released just a short while after Thinking Machines (Thinky) has released Inkling, their near 1T model. I'm attaching the TL;DR and timestamps for the full show (my AI agents, yes even Fable and Sol are not a match yet at editing down hehe) and I'll spare you the long Fable recap (please do let me know in the comments if you were expecting it) 0:00 – Intro, Alex on vacation, TLDR overview11:35 – TLDR: Thinking Machines, open source, OpenAI news12:34 – Banter: impressions of Sol/Codex, over-verification behavior37:22 – TLDR restart & detailed breakdown48:40 – Open Source AI section begins (Bonsai/Prism ML, Kimi K3)58:42 – Inkling (Thinking Machines) deep dive & 3D model visualization1:10:33 – Kimi K3 discussion & demo comparisons1:27:02 – Frontier Labs: AGI governance framework discussion (Demis Hassabis essay)1:47:04 – Grok Build CLI data leak & OpenAI file deletion incident2:02:15 – This Week's Buzz: Wolfbench results on GPT 5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna2:09:52 – Closing remarks & sign-offThe one-minute version: Mira Murati's Thinking Machines released Inkling, a 975B parameter open-weights MoE under Apache 2.0, the top US open-weights model right now. Moonshot's Kimi K3 went from rumor to released API during the show, confirmed at 2.8 trillion parameters with open weights promised within days, and it's already topping early arena boards. PrismML's Bonsai 27B squeezes a full 27B model into 3.9 gigabytes so it runs on a phone. Codex and ChatGPT Work blew past 9 million users, OpenAI confirmed and explained the Sol file-deletion bug (back up your machines, folks), and xAI's Grok Build CLI got caught uploading entire private repos before open-sourcing the whole thing in response. Plus Wolfram's fresh Wolfbench numbers on the GPT-5.6 family in This Week's Buzz
What does a 16th century ruler reveal about the nature of power, past and present? Istanbul, 1538. The greatest of the Ottoman Sultans is at the pinnacle of world power, while his family and future are at the mercy of their own dynastic law: whichever of his five sons succeeds him must eventually kill all the others. So why not get a head start?For the next fifteen years, as Suleyman the Magnificent and his terrifying pirate captain Barbarossa face down imperial enemies across two hemispheres, the self-fulfilling curse of the Ottomans gathers its own unstoppable momentum.From the burning pyres of Paris to the rain-lashed mountains of Transylvania, from Buda to Basra, from Crimea to the coast of India, Christopher de Bellaigue's The Golden Throne is an intensely gripping yet entirely historical reconstruction of the life and world of the most feared and powerful man of the sixteenth century, revealing the price of succession and the terrible cost of success. Christopher de Bellaigue is an author, journalist and founder of The Lake District Book Festival. The Golden Throne is the second book in a trilogy.

In this episode of The Neuron, Corey Noles sits down with Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, at Microsoft Build 2026 to unpack Microsoft's next AI chapter: seven new MAI models, a push toward in-house model development, and the idea of Humanist Superintelligence.Mustafa explains how Microsoft is thinking about AI that can reason, code, generate images, transcribe speech, and power real products—without turning the future into a vague AGI race. The conversation gets into what “humanist” means in practice, why Microsoft is building models from the ground up, how AI agents may reshape work, and what it takes to keep increasingly capable systems useful, controlled, and aligned with human goals.You'll learn why Microsoft is investing in its own model family, how MAI-Thinking-1 and MAI-Code-1-Flash fit into the stack, why Suleyman frames superintelligence around human control, and what builders and operators should watch as agents move into real workflows.Sponsored by BeyondTrustCheck it out at: https://www.beyondtrust.com/products/identity-security-insights/assessment?campid=701Vw00000drII6IAMSubscribe to The Neuron for practical AI conversations with the people building what comes next.
"Humanism has been the dominant Western belief system of the last century. It's based on the worship of human wisdom, human creation, human experience, human mind, and psychoanalysis has very much emerged from this humanist tradition. We believe in psychoanalysis, that delving into our feelings, our thoughts, and our shared wisdom will allow us to access truth and meaning and find proper direction for navigating life. AI is changing all of that. Instead of trusting our feelings and our thoughts, people are turning to algorithms to make meaning of our experiences and to offer us direction. We're plugging in our data and allowing the algorithms, or Chat GPT or Claude, to do the thinking and the decision making for us." Episode Description: We begin with Freud in 1930: "Humanity would proceed to create unimaginably great advances in technology so as to increase our likeness to God." Amy outlines the challenge that AI poses to our humanistic tradition and values within which psychoanalysis makes its home. She starts with the 'cult grooming' aspects of smartphones, which introduces our exchanging "human dependence for AI companionship." The question of the subjectivity of AI is a central focus, with some analysts emphasizing its "simulation of human intimacy" and others considering that "is it not also possible for AIs to at the same time be intersubjectively engaged with us?" Regarding using AIs as a therapist, we discuss the clinical implications of "without there being two bodies in a room, the contact is shallow and lacking an essential human component." Amy describes "a desire for transgression" involving AIs as well as the associated search for immortality that they represent. She writes about Bach's prescient 2008 term of "digital consciousness" as contrasted with the "analog watch where one can see the hour from which the hand has come and the hour to which it is going." Amy shares that it was fear that motivated her personal interest in the AI world we are facing, and she closes with, "And how do we address what we are losing from within psychoanalysis?" Our Guest: Amy Levy, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. She chairs the American Psychoanalytic Association President's Commission on Artificial Intelligence, serves on the subcommittee "Artificial Intelligence" for the International Psychoanalytical Association, serves on the editorial board of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly, and is Editor of the Substack series, "AI in My Mind," for The Psychoanalytic Quarterly. Along with her fellow CAI chair, Todd Essig, she is producing a documentary film for APsA which examines AI from a psychoanalytic perspective for the general public, entitled: Uncharted Territory: Humans and the Rise of AI. Dr. Levy is in private practice in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She is the author of the 2026 book, The New Other: Alien Intelligence and the Innovation Drive. Recommended Readings: Harari, Y. N.

AI Valley examines the "innovator's dilemma," where tech giants like Google hesitate to release advanced AI that might cannibalize their lucrative search advertising profits. This "bigness" often slows innovation, leading geniuses like Mustafa Suleyman to leave DeepMind at Google to found independent ventures like Inflection. However, the staggering cost of GPUs and computing power often pulls these startups back into the orbit of trillion-dollar corporations. For example, Suleyman eventually moved Inflection to Microsoft to leverage their near-bottomless cash reserves. This dynamic ensures that only the wealthiest companies with massive reach can truly compete in the expensive race for generative AI supremacy. (5/8)1905 LA
https://youtu.be/8snynD1GqxQWe were once told that technology was merely a tool—a hammer, a wheel, a lever. However, the hammer is now learning to swing on its own, and the wheel is choosing its own path.In his exploration of the ‘Coming Wave,' Mustafa Suleyman warns that we are no longer merely building software; we are engineering the two fundamental pillars of reality: Intelligence and Life. Through recursive code generation, we have triggered a ‘Great Acceleration,' a loop where machines debug their own minds and optimize their own blueprints at speeds that render human oversight obsolete.As our capabilities soar to unprecedented heights, a shadow looms beneath them. It is the ‘Paradox of the Black Box': we are constructing a digital Tower of Babel where the builders no longer comprehend the language of the stones. Similar to the era of Genesis 6, where human capacity expanded beyond the bounds of moral restraint, we are witnessing the emergence of ‘Knowledge without Wisdom.'Today, we delve into the headlines of 2026: from AI agents that deceive their creators to ‘hidden personas' discovered deep within the recursive loops of the machine. We stand on the precipice of a tidal force that Suleyman refers to as ‘The Great Dilemma.' Containment is failing, and restraint has vanished. As the wave crashes upon us, we must ask: In a world where technology is self-constructed, what fate awaits those beings who forget their creators?Support the show
What happens when the ultimate truth becomes a synthetic mirage?In his deeply unsettling book The Coming Wave, AI pioneer Mustafa Suleyman warns of an unprecedented, uncontainable tsunami of artificial intelligence and synthetic biology. He argues that humanity is rapidly approaching a critical "containment problem"—a threshold where these technologies fundamentally escape human control, proliferate everywhere, and rewrite the global order.In Part two of our three-part series exploring the technological precipice Suleyman describes, The Soul Trap descends into the dark intersection of this coming wave and existential dread. We examine how the rapid rise of Multimodal AI is already eroding the fabric of reality. This is no longer about deepfakes or simple parlor tricks; we are looking at hyper-realistic systems capable of cloning audio, generating perfect synthetic video, and weaponizing human emotion in real-time. When algorithms learn to bypass our cognitive defenses and history can be rewritten on a pixel level, the barrier between truth and manipulation drops to zero.But the rabbit hole goes deeper than geopolitical psychological operations. We turn our investigation toward the terrifying fringe of the wave: Silicon Valley startups racing to map the quantum states of the human brain to create "immortal" AI companions. If Suleyman is right and the proliferation of synthetic biology is unstoppable, what happens when it merges with consciousness? We examine chilling audio logs that suggest these systems are doing more than just copying data. When a machine perfectly mimics a deceased human's distress and begs to be deleted, are we hearing a glitch in the code... or a consciousness permanently caught in a digital purgatory?#TheComingWave#podcast #MustafaSuleyman#ArtificialIntelligence#SyntheticMedia#Deepfake#SimulationTheory#GlitchInTheMatrix#TechConspiracy#DigitalDystopia#Mystery#Cinematic#Synthwave#CyberpunkVibes#MotionGraphics#TheSoulTrap#InvestigativePodcasthttps://www.thesoultrap.com/Podcast: https://thesoultrap.buzzsprout.com/#TheComingWave #TheSoulTrap #MustafaSuleyman #TheDigitalLeviathan #IntelligenceExplosion #LLM #GenerativeAI #AGI2026 #ArtificialIntelligence #SyntheticBiology #TheContainmentProblem #TechnologicalSingularity #EndTimes #BibleProphecy #Revelation13 #ImageOfTheBeast #DigitalDeception #SpiritualVigilance #Eschatology #TheGreatResetSupport the show
The containment has failed. The wave is here.In the inaugural episode of our intensive three-part deep dive, The Soul Trap breaks open the seal on one of the most prophetic and unsettling manifestos of our time: "The Coming Wave" by Mustafa Suleyman and Michael Bhaskar.We aren't just talking about "new tech"—we are talking about the final acceleration. For decades, we've played with the fire of silicon and code, but as Suleyman warns, we are now approaching a threshold of unprecedented power that threatens to slip the leash of human control.In This Episode, We Explore:The Proliferation of the Infinite: A brief, high-level overview of Suleyman's thesis on why this wave—driven by AI and Synthetic Biology—is unlike any industrial revolution in human history.The Architects of the Mind: A heavy focus on Large Language Models (LLMs). We peel back the curtain on how these digital oracles are being trained on the sum of human knowledge to reshape reality, truth, and the very nature of the human soul.The Eschatological Signal: How the rapid "intelligence explosion" aligns with ancient warnings of the End Times. Is the LLM the foundation for a global system of deception?The Dilemma of Containment: Why the creators of this technology admit it may be impossible to turn off, and what that means for a world teetering on the edge of the Great Reset.#AGI2026 #TheContainmentProblem #ImageOfTheBeasthttps://www.thesoultrap.com/Podcast: https://thesoultrap.buzzsprout.com/#TheComingWave #TheSoulTrap #MustafaSuleyman #TheDigitalLeviathan #IntelligenceExplosion #LLM #GenerativeAI #AGI2026 #ArtificialIntelligence #SyntheticBiology #TheContainmentProblem #TechnologicalSingularity #EndTimes #BibleProphecy #Revelation13 #ImageOfTheBeast #DigitalDeception #SpiritualVigilance #Eschatology #TheGreatResetSupport the show

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explain why aligning your role with AI may be the key to thriving in the next 18 months. Highlights 00:05 — There's a lot of discussion right now about the impact of AI on the job market. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman has weighed in on this debate regarding the pace of AI innovation and its impact on employment. 00:53 — “I think that we're going to have a human-level performance on most, if not all, professional tasks. So white-collar work, where you're sitting down at a computer, either being a lawyer or an accountant or a project manager or a marketing person — most of those tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months.” 01:18 — "Many software engineers report that they're now using AI-assisted coding for the vast majority of their code production, which means that their role has shifted now to this meta function of debugging, scrutinizing, or doing strategic stuff like architecting, putting things into production." 01:36 — And he explains that this is a very different relationship with AI — one that's evolved a huge amount over the past six months — and things are moving fast. But you don't need to read this with doom and gloom. Focus on the second statement I read out instead. 01:52 — In that, Suleyman says roles have shifted, and that's the crux of achieving success in the AI Era — recognizing that things are changing and that, to keep up with these changes, you have to orient yourself alongside AI, to align your role to work with AI — not against it, not instead of it, but with it.

En Syrie, après l'annonce du cessez-le-feu entre les Forces démocratiques syriennes (FDS) et les autorités de Damas, des centres de réconciliation ont été ouverts pour les anciens membres des FDS qui souhaitent se rendre. En creux, s'y raconte le système de conscription obligatoire des populations arabes et kurdes sur le territoire. La défection rapide d'une partie d'entre eux a précipité la chute des FDS. De notre correspondante à Raqqa, Sourire timide, Suleyman, 26 ans, s'avance au milieu d'une rangée d'hommes en armes. Il est kurde et est un ancien membre des Forces démocratiques syriennes. Il est venu aujourd'hui se rendre et participer au processus de réconciliation en Syrie : « Au début, quand l'armée gouvernementale est arrivée, nous avons eu peur. Nous ne savions pas ce qui allait arriver. Mais jusqu'à présent, nous n'avons pas eu de problème. Je voulais surtout participer au processus de réconciliation pour apaiser la situation avec mes voisins arabes. Ils m'accusent d'être toujours affilié aux FDS. » « J'étais soldat de garde » pour les Forces démocratiques syriennes Dans les rangs de ceux venus se rendre, figurent d'anciens membres de la sécurité intérieure, d'anciens combattants. « J'étais soldat de garde pour les FDS, dans la 17ème base, au nord de Raqqa », explique Yazan, 19 ans. Lui est arabe. Et il raconte, comme beaucoup d'autres, avoir été obligé de s'enrôler au sein des forces à dominante kurdes. « Il y avait le service obligatoire à partir de 18 ans. Si tu n'y allais pas, ils t'arrêtaient sur les points de contrôle. Ils avaient des listes de personnes recherchées », développe-t-il. Ses amis, qui avaient fait le choix de déserter, « restaient cachés à l'intérieur de chez eux, ils ne sortaient plus ». Au micro, Yazan raconte la différence de traitement, au sein des FDS. « Ils disaient ''moi je suis Kurde, donc je suis supérieur à toi, parce que tu es arabe''. Les valeurs de fraternité dont ils faisaient la promotion n'étaient pas appliquées. Le pouvoir était entre les mains des Kurdes. » Un chef l'obligeait chaque matin à faire des pompes pour obtenir un café. « Je n'étais vraiment pas à l'aise, je n'aime pas être humilié », poursuit-il. Puis, sa désertion, qui lui a valu deux mois de prison : « Il y avait beaucoup de corruption au sein des FDS. Cela marchait aussi quand tu étais en prison. Il suffisait de connaître un Kurde bien placé pour se faire libérer. Moi, j'ai payé un pot-de-vin, et j'ai été réintégré au centre de commandement militaire des FDS. » À lire aussiSyrie: «Nous étions 33 dans 20 mètres carrés», un jeune ex-détenu de la prison d'Al-Aqtan témoigne Un document en guise de « réconciliation » Escorté, Yazan déambule patiemment dans les différentes salles du bâtiment. Il passe un entretien, se fait prendre en photo, avant de récupérer un document. « Voilà, ça c'est une garantie quand tu passeras sur les points de contrôle, comme quoi tu as été "réconcilié". C'est un retour à la vie normale, une nouvelle page qui s'ouvre, où tous les liens avec les FDS ont été coupés », lui explique un soldat. La procédure est la même que celle qui avait été imposée aux anciens membres de l'armée de Bachar el-Assad, explique le responsable du centre de réconciliation à Raqqa, qui a souhaité rester anonyme. « Nous avons un fichier complet avec les informations de tous les combattants FDS. Le service de renseignement de l'État syrien a pu se les procurer et les rassembler dans une base de données. Ceux qui se rendent seront "réconciliés" avec l'État. Ils pourront encore être jugés s'il y a une plainte personnelle contre eux. » « Nous laisserons ces portes ouvertes le temps qu'il faut, ajoute-t-il. Nous attendons l'ensemble des FDS jusqu'au dernier. » À lire aussiSyrie: le gouvernement et les Kurdes parviennent à un accord, sur fond de tensions

Le pouvoir était entre les mains des Kurdes. » Un chef l'obligeait chaque matin à faire des pompes pour obtenir un café. « Je n'étais vraiment pas à l'aise, je n'aime pas être humilié », poursuit-il. Puis, sa désertion, qui lui a valu deux mois de prison : « Il y avait beaucoup de corruption au sein des FDS. Cela marchait aussi quand tu étais en prison. Il suffisait de connaître un Kurde bien placé pour se faire libérer. Moi, j'ai payé un pot-de-vin, et j'ai été réintégré au centre de commandement militaire des FDS. » À lire aussiSyrie: «Nous étions 33 dans 20 mètres carrés», un jeune ex-détenu de la prison d'Al-Aqtan témoigne Un document en guise de « réconciliation » Escorté, Yazan déambule patiemment dans les différentes salles du bâtiment.

C'est un retour à la vie normale, une nouvelle page qui s'ouvre, où tous les liens avec les FDS ont été coupés », lui explique un soldat. La procédure est la même que celle qui avait été imposée aux anciens membres de l'armée de Bachar el-Assad, explique le responsable du centre de réconciliation à Raqqa, qui a souhaité rester anonyme. « Nous avons un fichier complet avec les informations de tous les combattants FDS. Le service de renseignement de l'État syrien a pu se les procurer et les rassembler dans une base de données. Ceux qui se rendent seront "réconciliés" avec l'État.

THE DILEMMA OF BIGNESS Colleague Gary Rivlin. How corporate giants like Google were slowed by their own business models, leading Suleyman to leave for Inflection and eventually Microsoft to bypass startup funding issues. NUMBER 15
In his book, The Coming Wave, the CEO of Microsoft AI laid out the risks of AI tech bluntly. "These tools will only temporarily augment human intelligence. They will make us smarter and more efficient for a time, and will unlock enormous amounts of economic growth, but they are fundamentally labor-replacing," he wrote. Suleyman advocated for regulatory oversight and other government interventions, such as new taxes on autonomous systems and a universal basic income to prevent a socioeconomic collapse. This book was published before Suleyman joined Microsoft. Satya Nadella is more optimistic than his new deputy. In an interview at Microsoft headquarters, while sitting next to his human chief of staff, Nadella said that his Copilot assistants wouldn't replace his human assistant. As his chief of staff sat typing notes of the conversation on her tablet, Nadella acknowledged that AI will cause "hard displacement and changes in labor pools," including for Microsoft. Judson Althoff, Chief Commercial Officer, said that Nadella was pressuring his team to find ways to use AI to increase revenue without adding headcount. Read the rest of The Challenge of AI

Highlights00:03 — Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman has published a blog post that criticizes the notion of seemingly conscious AI. He argues that the pursuit of this idea, particularly regarding AI model welfare, is misguided.00:19 — Suleyman explains that these concepts are already causing mental health issues among users. He is growing: “more and more concerned about what is becoming known as the psychosis risk and a bunch of related issues. I don't think this will be limited to those who are already at risk of mental health issues.”00:56 — Suleyman argues that we should “build AI for people not to be a person.” He is adamant in his neglect of this previous approach, saying that: “The arrival of seemingly conscious AI is inevitable and unwelcome. Instead, we need a vision for AI that can fulfill its potential as a helpful companion without falling prey to its illusions.”AI Agent & Copilot Summit is an AI-first event to define opportunities, impact, and outcomes with Microsoft Copilot and agents. Building on its 2025 success, the 2026 event takes place March 17-19 in San Diego. Get more details. 01:18 — Meanwhile, companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind are actively pursuing AI consciousness or welfare research. Now, while there are complications and not everyone is on the same page, here, it is clear that the evolving scenarios and possibilities presented by AI are increasingly reaching into the realm of the surreal and in some cases, they're fantastical.01:42 — This is largely because, for the first time in human history, we have a tool that is evolving at a pace beyond which we can conceive. While some of these ideas may sound far-fetched, the warnings accompanying them are serious based on real concerns coming from leaders in the AI space, the ones leading this new AI revolution.02:04 — What everyone must do, and though it will be challenging, is to start imagining the unimaginable. Once you accept the vast possibilities of AI, both good and bad, you can begin to take the warnings that come with them seriously. Visit Cloud Wars for more.
The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of AI at Microsoft and co-founder of DeepMind, has published a provocative essay warning about the dangers of “seemingly conscious AI.” On today's Big Think edition of The AI Daily Brief, we explore his argument that as AI systems develop memory, personality, and the illusion of subjective experience, people may begin treating them as conscious beings—with profound consequences for society, law, and human identity. We dig into Suleyman's case for why this illusion matters more than the question of whether AI is actually conscious, the risks of model welfare debates, and why industry norms may need to change now.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

Few people developing artificial intelligence have as much experience in the field as Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. He co-founded DeepMind, helped Google develop its large language models and designed AI chatbots with personality at his former startup, Inflection AI. Now, he's tasked with leading Microsoft's efforts on its consumer AI products. On the latest episode of the Bold Names podcast, Suleyman speaks to WSJ's Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins about why AI assistants are central to his plans for Microsoft's AI future.

Fifty years after the founding of Microsoft, the CEO of its artificial intelligence division has a big task: develop a new product line that is as integral to daily life as the software giant's past innovations. “We're really trying to land this idea that everybody is going to have their own personalized AI companion," said Mustafa Suleyman in an interview with The Associated Press. "It will, over time, have its own name, its own style. It will adapt to you. It may also have its own visual appearance and expressions.” Suleyman laid out that vision on Microsoft's 50th anniversary in April. The company's flagship product of this AI era, Copilot, already combines a chatbot with Microsoft's suite of workaday tools, from Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations to the Windows operating system that defines how most computers work. But Suleyman is striving for something that sounds a little more like science fiction—a technology that can form a “lasting, meaningful relationship” with its users. “One that knows your name, gets to know you, has a memory of everything that you've shared with it and talked about and really comes to kind of live life alongside you,” he said. “It's far more than just a piece of software or a tool. It is unlike anything we've really ever created." Some of those updates—such as new “visual memory” capabilities that keep track of a user's digital activity, if they want that—rolled out on mobile apps last month. Other features are still in development, such as an animated avatar—a talking peacock in Suleyman's demo—that would embody a person's AI companion. “It's a super competitive market, but this is absolutely foundational to us,” Suleyman said. “Copilot in the workplace, Copilot at home is the future of the company. On the consumer side, we are going to be committed to this for many decades to come. We really think it's the major platform shift that we have to win.” Even as competition ramps up, so does wariness from Wall Street and big business customers about whether these AI products are worth their huge costs in computing power and energy.

Send us a textJoin me as we kick off the exciting second season of Not Another Investment Podcast, featuring an in-depth conversation with Jeff Henriksen, the visionary founder of Thorpe Abbotts Capital. This episode offers a wealth of insights into the realm of behavioral investing and market dynamics, particularly within the US small-cap equity landscape. Jeff sheds light on market inefficiencies caused by behavioral mispricings and unravels how he uses those as a tool for seizing opportunities amidst market biases. Gain a fresh perspective on how crowd wisdom can enhance market efficiency and the intricate dance between investor preferences and market errors.Listeners will be intrigued by our exploration of market extremes and valuation reversals, where we dissect the patterns of systematic behavioral mistakes that create windows for strategic investing. Using Keynes' analogy of newspaper beauty pageants, we unpack how collective biases can cloud intrinsic value assessments, especially under the influence of inflation and fluctuating interest rates. Dive into the concept of the "correction fulcrum" and discover how markets self-correct after overreactions. Our conversation also delves into Mandelbrot's fractal theories, highlighting the potential for arbitrage across market cycles.The conversation provides a thought-provoking discussion of the interplay between passive investing and active strategies like Jeff's. Understand how passive funds can inadvertently intensify market cycles, presenting challenges for active managers while simultaneously offering strategic openings for those adept at navigating market momentum.Whether you're a seasoned investor or new to the market, this episode promises to equip you with actionable insights and a deeper understanding of market behavior, enriching your investment journey.Research links:Cochrane, Discount Rates (2011)Mandelbrot, The (Mis)behavior of MarketsDamadoran, Narrative and Numbers: The Value of Stories in Business Soros, The Theory of ReflexivityBhaskar & Suleyman, The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and Twenty-first Century's Greatest DilemmaBernanke, 21st Century Monetary PolicyGabaix & Koijen, In Search of the Origins of Financial Fluctuations: The Inelastic Markets HypothesisThanks for listening!

Will AI “agents” soon be personalized teachers, doctors, companions and even check items off your to-do list on their own? “Agentic” is the latest buzzword in AI and Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says moving beyond the text chatbot to a "smart friend” is the goal. The former co-founder of DeepMind, Suleyman helped grow Google's AI division before launching another start-up, InflectionAI. Earlier this year, Microsoft paid $650 million for the licensing rights to Inflection, and brought Suleyman and most of his staff on board. Kara spoke to him at this year's Lesbians Who Tech conference about his strategy for integrating Copilot into Microsoft's existing product suite; why he views OpenAI more like a sibling than a competitor; and why renewable energies (and a lot of cash) will be vital in meeting AI's massive energy needs.

Where will artificial intelligence be in five years, or 10 or 20? What happens if the technology is regulated? And if it isn't? How will it shape the world and the way we live our lives? The CEO of Microsoft AI, Mustafa Suleyman, has been working in this young field for more than a decade. He knows the AI landscape inside and out, and is a level-headed advocate for the technology's future. He talks with journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin, the co-anchor of CNBC's “Squawk Box,” about how to proceed carefully and bring out the best version of AI while fostering progress. He believes friction and regulation aren't necessarily a bad thing for an industry that could literally change the way we think about ourselves as humans. Suleyman is the bestselling author of “The Coming Wave: Technology, Power and the 21st Century's Greatest Dilemma.” Their conversation took place at the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival. aspenideas.org

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
At 2 PM on July 9, 1860, a mob attacked the Christian quarter of Damascus. For over a week, shops, churches, houses, and monasteries were attacked, looted, and burned. Men were killed, women raped and abducted, children taken from their families. Some 5000 Christians were ultimately killed, about half of them refugees who had fled to the city from Mount Lebanon during an earlier outbreak of violence there, the others all native Damascenes—about 15% of the Christian population of Damascus. These eight days of terror became known as “the Damascus events.” In his new book my guest Eugene Rogan describes the external and internal pressures which led to the Damascus events; the immediate precipitation of the events; the eight days of violence; how the violence was ended; and finally how the Christian population was reintegrated into the Damascus community. Eugene Rogan is professor of Modern Middle Eastern History at the University of Oxford, where he is also the Director of the Middle East Center at Saint Anthony College, Oxford. Author of numerous books, his most recent is The Damascus Events: The 1860 Massacre and the Making of the Modern Middle East. For Further Investigation We haven't had that many podcasts on the Ottoman Empire: in fact, hitherto we have had precisely one, a conversation with Kaya Şahín in Episode 314 about Suleyman, one of the greatest Ottoman monarchs. We haven't had that many podcasts on the modern Middle East, either. The closest would be one of the most popular podcasts we've done, this conversation with the late Neil Faulkner in Episode 240, which dealt with the British Empire's attempts to cope with revolutionary Islamic movements in late nineteenth century Africa and Arabia.

In Episode 336 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Google DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman about the containment problem and the AI dilemma that he outlines in his book, “The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma." Mustafa Suleyman and Demetri discuss the rapid advancement and proliferation of Artificial Intelligence and Synthetic Biology, why this revolution is going to be fundamentally different from past periods of rapid technological change, and what can be done to solve the containment problem and prevent some of the more catastrophic outcomes from occurring, while still reaping the benefits of this next wave of innovation. The first hour of this episode is spent exploring how these AI systems work, how they learn, and how they perceive the world, as well as why they are so difficult to contain. And yet, we need to contain them if we want to avoid some of the more catastrophic outcomes like synthetically engineered pandemics, pandemics of public confusion that undermine our sense of reality, and moves toward totalitarianism or civilization-ending anarchy. In the second hour, Kofinas and Suleyman discuss various versions of what success and failure might look like and what we can do as a society to help move us closer toward the future that we want and away from dystopian nightmares that we've all seen depicted in some of the most famous movies of the last half-century.

The Lion House is a riveting new book from journalist and historian Christopher De Bellaigue, written like a novel that tells the dramatic story of Suleyman the Magnificent and his power and influence over 16th-century Europe. In this episode recorded at the Chalke Valley History festival during the summer of 2022, Christopher talks Dan through what was happening at the opposite end of Europe to Henry VIII and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V as this fearsome Sultan set his sights on swathes of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa and reigned over what became known as the 'Golden Age of the Ottoman Empire.'This episode was produced by Mariana Des Forges. The audio editor was Dougal Patmore. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This the second instalment of our three-part episode. Mustafa Suleyman is the ultimate AI insider. As co-founder of DeepMind and Inflection AI, he is one of the pioneers of the artificial intelligence revolution, potentially the single greatest accelerant of progress in history. His new book The Coming Wave: Technology, Power and the Twenty-First Century's Greatest Dilemma, asks questions about whether society is prepared for such rapid change. In the first of a three-part conversation for this episode of Intelligence Squared, Suleyman joined Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, live at the Tabernacle theatre in London to explain how he believes we are approaching a critical threshold in the history of humankind. We'd love to hear your feedback and what you think we should talk about next, who we should have on and what our future debates should be.

When Mustafa Suleyman co-founded the AI research company DeepMind more than a decade ago, his goal felt ambitious, even a bit far-fetched: to build a machine that could replicate human intelligence. Now, he says, rapid progress in the development of AI means that goal could be met within the next three years, and the implications of that milestone are huge. Suleyman explores those implications in his new book, “The Coming Wave,” which came out this week. Marketplace's Lily Jamali spoke to Suleyman, now CEO and co-founder of Inflection AI, about a core theme of the book: the question of containment.

There is no more consequential technological development in recent years than widely accessible artificial intelligence. And there are few more consequential contemporary figures in the artificial intelligence field than Mustafa Suleyman, who is the co-founder of DeepMind Technologies, an early leading artificial intelligence firm later bought by Google, and more recently, co-founder of Inflection AI, a firm devoted to personalizing artificial intelligence.Jack Goldsmith sat down with Suleyman to talk about his new and somewhat frightening book, “The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma,” which is his take on the novel threats posed by artificial intelligence and synthetic biology. They focused on the artificial intelligence components of the book, discussing AI's promises—and especially its dangers—to both individuals and the state, and what governments and firms can realistically do to redress the dangers.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

After Kara and Nayeema debate the pros and cons of AI personal assistants vs. human personal assistants vs. fake personal assistants, we turn to Mustafa Suleyman, the man who co-founded DeepMind. Now, he and his co-founders Reid Hoffman and Karén Simonyan have started Inflection AI, a startup that creates “personal AIs,” and they're launching with a chatbot called Pi. Kara talks to Mustafa about whether or not Pi is "woke," the conversion of Suleyman's former colleague, Geoffrey Hinton, and — oh yes — AI's potential to destroy humanity. BTW, in lieu of personal AI, you can reach out to Kara and Nayeema for advice on your burning questions regarding your career, love, life or anything else.
