Palantir is supposed to be a surveillance-tech company. So why are elite power networks around its co-founder showing up in stories about secret retreats, billionaire “dialogue,” sexual politics, and influence laundering?This episode breaks down the alleged Dialog network, the Thiel-world pipeline, and the strange way powerful people rebrand access, ideology, and control as “conversation.”Volunteers Wanted: Palantir's Secret Elite Sex Cult is not a conspiracy board. It is a guided tour through the receipts, the euphemisms, and the question nobody in power wants asked:What exactly are these people recruiting for?robotcrimeblog.com

Palantir was not born in a garage. It was commissioned by the CIA director who oversaw 9/11, brokered by the neoconservative architect of the Iraq War, and handed to Peter Thiel and Alex Karp as a private commercial replacement for the Total Information Awareness Office after Congress shut it down in 2003. In this episode, Matt Ehret walks through what Palantir actually is, who built it, who it serves, and why a company that named itself after the all-seeing eye of Sauron now manages the intelligence, policing, banking, and military systems of most of the Western world. He also examines Thiel's Straussian philosophy, his belief that freedom and democracy are incompatible, his obsession with the antichrist he claims to fear but appears to be building, and the fact that his Palantir UK CEO got the job after the interviewer stood up and recited an Oswald Mosley speech from memory. From the inside, it looks like a tech company. From the outside, it looks like something else entirely.

In dieser Folge aus der Serie "SPEZIAL Was lernen wir durch Trump?" widmet sich Gast-Host Michel Reimon dem Milliardär Peter Thiel, der Strömung der „dunklen Aufklärung“ und ihrer Rolle im politischen Projekt von Donald Trump – mit Blick auf Auswirkungen auf Europa und Österreich. Der Theologe Wolfgang Palaver schildert seine dreißigjährige Gesprächsbeziehung zu Thiel und verteidigt die Idee, Thiel öffentlich kritisch zu befragen, um Widersprüche und Gefahren seiner antidemokratischen Positionen sichtbar zu machen, statt ihn symbolisch „auszuladen“. Claudia Zettel hält dem entgegen, dass Thiels Ablehnung von Demokratie, Frauenwahlrecht und Gleichberechtigung längst offen dokumentiert sei und öffentliche Bühnen ihn eher normalisieren als entlarven. Im Zentrum steht die Ideologie der „dunklen Aufklärung“, die Gleichwertigkeit und Demokratie verwirft, technokratische CEO-Herrschaft und radikale technologische Beschleunigung propagiert und in libertären wie rechtsautoritären Netzwerken verankert ist. Die Runde diskutiert, wie Tech-Eliten wie Thiel, Elon Musk und andere Silicon-Valley-Akteure rechtspopulistische Bewegungen in den USA und Europa fnanzieren oder instrumentalisieren und damit Regulierungen, insbesondere der EU, zu unterlaufen versuchen. Aus europäischer Perspektive werden Versäumnisse bei Digitalisierung, KI, Plattformregulierung und strategischer Souveränität thematisiert, von der Abhängigkeit von US-Techkonzernen über Rüstungspolitik bis hin zur verschleppten Energiewende. Palaver und Zettel sprechen darüber, wie sich Europas Demokratien zwischen Effzienzversprechen des Marktes und dem politischen Anspruch auf Gleichheit und Solidarität behaupten können, ohne in nationalstaatlichem Kleinklein stecken zu bleiben. Am Ende verweist Palaver auf sein Buch „Medienmassen“ im Karl-Auer-Verlag zur technologisch-medialen Revolution und der Dunkelaufklärung und die Notwendigkeit, dem ideologischen Projekt der Tech-Eliten eine selbstbewusste, europäische demokratische Antwort entgegenzusetzen.

Send us Fan MailThe MZ Farms/USHJA Emerging Athletes Program (EAP) is a development initiative run by the U.S. Hunter Jumper Association to help up-and-coming riders build both their riding skills and their horsemanship knowledge. Created in 2009, the program has become a launching pad for many riders who've gone on to succeed in major equitation and jumper finals, including the USEF Show Jumping Talent Search, the ASPCA Maclay, and USEF Prix des States, among others. The program is open to junior, amateur, and professional members ages 12 and older as of December 1 of the current competition year, with sections offered at 0.90-meter and 1.0-meter fence heights. To apply, riders must meet eligibility requirements, submit an application and fee, gather recommendation forms, and pass a Horsemanship Quiz Challenge with a score of at least 80%. Riders accepted into the program begin with a five-day Regional Training Session, where they work directly with top riding clinicians and stable managers on flatwork, gymnastics, related distances, course work, and a full stable-management curriculum covering grooming, horsemanship, and barn management. Participants bring and care for their own horses throughout the session. From there, 16 riders are selected to advance to the National Training Session, chosen based on their performance and potential during the regional sessions, with eligibility limited to members ages 12 to 25. A select group of standout non-riders may also be invited to attend as stable managers. The national session is a multi-day intensive held with top clinicians — for 2026, that's Joe Fargis for riding and Colleen Reed for stable management, hosted at Midway University in Kentucky. Financial support is also part of the program: the USHJA Foundation awards up to $6,000 total in grants to help offset costs for EAP participants, with individual grants capped at $500. EAP combines hands-on riding instruction with serious horsemanship education, aiming to produce well-rounded equestrians — not just skilled riders, but knowledgeable horsemen and women who understand every aspect of caring for their horses.-- The USHJA Zone Jumper Championships are a series of regional team and individual competitions for Junior and Amateur jumper riders, held across the USHJA's geographic zones each summer. There are actually a few related programs under this umbrella, organized by fence height.The 1.00/1.05m Junior/Amateur Zone Jumper Championships give riders a competitive team experience and a chance to earn Zone Horse of the Year points in their respective sections, with championships held by zone consisting of both team and individual competition. To qualify, riders submit an application and must accumulate at least 20 points in their section at USEF-licensed competitions during the qualifying period. At the higher end, the Markel/USHJA Zone Jumper Team Championships serve Junior and Amateur Jumper riders in the 1.10/1.15m and 1.20/1.25m divisions, while the related Platinum Jumper Championships cover even higher sections. Competitors in these championships are considered USHJA Emerging Jumper Riders for that year and have the opportunity to earn the title of USHJA Gold Star Emerging Jumper Rider, along with a spot at a USHJA Gold Star Clinic. For 2026, the championships are organized regionally — Northeast (Zones 1-2), South (Zones 3, 4, 7), North Central (Zones 5-6), and West (Zones 8-10) — each hosted at a different venue, with riders from Zones 11 and 12 free to choose whichever championship location they'd like to attend. New this year, jump-offs will be used to break ties for Individual and Team Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals. To enter, riders must submit an application with a $75 non-refundable fee and earn at least 20 qualifying points in their section at USEF-licensed shows before their zone's deadline. Submitting an application doesn't commit a rider to attend, but it does let their points count toward qualification. Individual medalists also earn a notable perk: an invitation to a USHJA Gold Star Clinic of their choice within two years, offering four days of mounted and unmounted instruction from leading clinicians. Altogether, the Zone Jumper Championships give developing jumper riders a structured path toward team competition experience, individual recognition, and continued mentorship — bridging the gap between regular show circuit competition and higher-performance opportunities.theplaidhorse.comThank you so much for joining us today on the Plaidcast. This podcast is a labor of love, and every single episode exists because of this incredible community of riders, trainers, barn managers, parents, and horse lovers who show up in the barn, in the ring, and right here with us.At The Plaid Horse, our commitment goes far beyond the show ring. We believe deeply in the power of literacy and education and that every rider, at every level, deserves access to knowledge, stories, and ideas that make them a better horseperson and a better human being. Reading matters. Learning matters. And the stories we tell each other in this sport matter more than we sometimes realize.Whether you are a junior rider picking up your first copy of The Plaid Horse  Magazine, a professional trainer looking for inspiration, or someone who simply loves horses and everything this world stands for then this community is for you. You belong here.We build this together. Every article, every episode, every conversation is an opportunity to learn something new, to feel less alone in the challenges of this sport, and to be reminded of why we fell in love with horses in the first place.Until next time, keep reading, keep learning, keep riding, and remember that the horse world is better when we build it together. I will see you at the ring!

"Bitcoin is not physical gold. You can kill Bitcoin." Matthew Kratter — who runs Bitcoin University, did a PhD in literature under René Girard, and ran global macro at Peter Thiel's hedge fund — joins the show to explain why he now holds nearly everything he owns in Bitcoin, and why he's become one of the loudest voices warning that Bitcoin is under attack from the inside. We trace the improbable path first: from Girard's seminar table to growing Thiel's $50M Roth into a $2 billion fund, and the 20 years trading that taught him to spot financial engineering "traps" — the same TradFi tricks he says are now being smuggled back into Bitcoin. Then it turns to the civil war happening right now: how Bitcoin Core blew open OP_RETURN and "went rogue," why spam and CSAM are an existential risk to node runners, what BIP-110 actually does, and who really controls the network (hint: not the miners, devs, or exchanges). His thesis throughout — consensus flows from culture — and his answer to all of it: stop being a spectator, run a node, and mine from home. Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Disclosure Day, Alien Deception, and the Bible's Warning About Spirits From Beyond Continuing Church Of God 49 A Film Sparks a Prophecy Discussion In this episode of Bible News Prophecy, host Steve Dupuie introduces a discussion with Dr. Bob Thiel about Steven Spielberg's film Disclosure Day and its possible impact on religious belief. Steve frames the question around whether undeniable evidence of alien life could cause people to abandon what they believe about God. Dr. Thiel responds that true Christians should not have their faith shaken by a fictional movie, arguing that Christians are to let God be true and measure claims against Scripture rather than Hollywood storytelling. Spielberg, Religion, and the Question of Alien Life Dr. Thiel reads from commentary about Spielberg's belief that disclosure of alien life could shape Christian faith around the world. The discussion highlights the film's central premise: if extraterrestrial life were openly revealed, people might ask whether God is only connected to Earth or whether God's role extends across civilizations throughout the universe. Dr. Thiel rejects the idea that such questions should destabilize Christian belief, saying the film's premise is built on false assumptions and should not be viewed as a serious threat to grounded faith. False Knowledge and the Warning From Timothy Dr. Thiel connects the film's claims to New Testament warnings about false knowledge. He cites Paul's warning to Timothy about avoiding profane babblings and contradictions falsely called knowledge. In his view, Disclosure Day relies on the kind of speculative “knowledge” that can lead people away from biblical truth. He says Christians should continue in the things they have learned from Scripture rather than be carried away by cultural narratives, entertainment, or claims that present themselves as hidden truth. Scientific American and the Problem With the Movie's Premise The program also references criticism from Scientific American, which Dr. Thiel says challenges the idea that alien discovery could be kept secret by SETI researchers. The discussion notes that scientists involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence say a genuine signal would not realistically remain hidden, because modern communication, social media, scientific transparency, and verification processes would make secrecy difficult. Dr. Thiel uses this to argue that the movie's secrecy-based premise is not only biblically questionable but also scientifically implausible. Faith That Cannot Be Shaken A key theme of the episode is that real Christian faith should not collapse because of a film, public disclosure claim, or possible appearance of unusual beings. Dr. Thiel cites Hebrews' language about receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken and says true believers will continue to believe in God, Jesus Christ, and the coming Kingdom regardless of cultural pressure. He also promotes Continuing Church of God literature on the logical existence of God and Christian faith, presenting these as resources for people who want a biblical and rational foundation. “We Are Not Alone” Through a Biblical Lens Steve asks whether the Bible describes beings that could be considered aliens from outer space. Dr. Thiel answers that the Bible has always acknowledged nonhuman beings, including angels, fallen angels, demons, and other spiritual entities. He says Scripture already teaches that humanity is not alone, but not in the same way popular culture imagines alien life. Instead of viewing extraterrestrial claims as proof against God, he argues that the Bible provides the framework for understanding unusual beings and supernatural encounters. Revelation, Jesus' Return, and Misread Heavenly Visitors Dr. Thiel points to Revelation, especially Revelation 9 and Revelation 19, as passages that some people may later interpret through an alien-invasion lens. He reads from Revelation 19, where Jesus returns from heaven with armies on white horses and the kings of the earth gather to make war against Him. Dr. Thiel argues that the nations may fight against Jesus because they are deceived about true Christianity and may misinterpret His return and the angelic armies as an invading alien force. Angels, Demons, and UFO Encounters The episode then turns directly to whether angels or demons could be considered extraterrestrial or alien in a broad sense. Dr. Thiel says they could be described that way because they come from beyond ordinary earthly life or from another dimension, though he frames them as spiritual beings rather than biological space aliens. He references earlier Worldwide Church of God commentary on UFOs, Ezekiel's “wheel within a wheel,” and modern flying-saucer beliefs, saying many alleged UFO or alien encounters may be demonic rather than evidence of life from another planet. Roman Catholicism, Demonic Claims, and End-Time Deception Dr. Thiel also says a Roman Catholic priest was criticized for stating that many UFO and alien encounters are demonic. He presents this as an example of institutions resisting a biblical interpretation of such phenomena. The broader warning is that claims of alien contact may increase and may be part of satanic deception in the end times. The discussion returns to Paul's warning that evil people and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. Holding Scripture Above Hollywood The program closes with Steve directing listeners to Bible News Prophecy and Continuing Church of God resources. The central takeaway is that Disclosure Day may influence popular thinking, but Dr. Thiel argues that Christians should judge the alien-disclosure narrative by Scripture, not by film, media excitement, or speculative claims. In this view, the Bible already explains humanity's relationship to God, angels, demons, deception, and the return of Christ, so no movie or alleged disclosure should overturn Christian faith.

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel STIs - Risk and Elimination Make Love Not War! Free Love! Two slogans that sounded good, to many. Yet a lot of people decided that meant they should have sex with multiple partners. Are there any consequences to committing sexual acts outside of marriage and with multiple partners? Have you ever heard of STIs? STIs are Sexually Transmitted Infections. STIs never happen within a marriage between two people that have been true to each other from the beginning. STIs are basically ALWAYS the result of sex with multiple partners, plus are reported by the Center for Disease Control to occur in even a higher percentage of homosexual men. Does a green discharge from the sexual organ sound just as good. That green discharge is the symptom of an STI known as gonorrhea. Untreated, blindness and even death are possible results of syphilis. STIs have greatly increased. Coincidence? Not a chance. Did you know that your unborn baby can get the same STI you have? Free love isn't so free anymore, is it? What does God have to say about His commandments, obedience, fornication, and disease? Watch this video as Dr. Thiel cites official statistics, STI symptoms, and shines the light of Biblical truth on how the God of the Bible teaches that STIs can be prevented and eliminated.

“Trust is built through very small moments,” says Julie Thiel of TTS Company. In this Telecom Reseller podcast, Doug Green speaks with Thiel about how MSPs, channel partners and growing technology businesses can strengthen leadership, retention and performance through everyday interactions with employees. Thiel says HR is often misunderstood as paperwork, compliance or “the fun police.” In reality, she says, effective people practices are about leadership and helping businesses grow. For smaller entrepreneurial companies, that means building trust with employees through regular conversations, follow-through, recognition and simple moments of human connection. The discussion focuses on the idea that leadership is not built only through major decisions or formal speeches. It is built through small, repeated actions: asking how someone is doing, remembering what matters to them, listening a little longer, and making time for regular one-on-one conversations. Thiel says those small moments can make difficult conversations easier later, whether a manager needs to give feedback, address a client issue or ask an employee to take on new responsibilities. When trust already exists, employees are more likely to hear feedback constructively and bring forward ideas, concerns and opportunities. For MSPs and channel companies that may not be able to compete with larger employers on compensation alone, Thiel says relationship-building can become a competitive advantage. Smaller businesses can often offer flexibility, development opportunities and direct access to customers in ways larger organizations cannot. The conversation also connects leadership and trust to company value. Thiel says businesses with stable teams, low turnover and developing leaders are better positioned for growth, succession and potential acquisition. Learn more at thettscompany.com.

Per combattere le disuguaglianze in Italia basta davvero una patrimoniale? Se siete tra i nostri ascoltatori affezionati, la risposta la sapete già.In questa nuova puntata di Cronache LeoniFiles, Serena Sileoni, Carlo Amenta e Carlo Stagnaro discutono le notizie più interessanti della settimana, partendo dall'analisi dell'Economist sulle nuove forme che la fascinazione per le idee socialiste ha assunto fra i giovani della Generazione Z.Tra visioni a somma zero dell'economia e l'illusione che la spesa pubblica sia un pozzo senza fondo finanziabile all'infinito dai "ricchi", analizziamo perché il dibattito sulle disuguaglianze non può essere pigramente importato dal mondo anglosassone per rispondere ai problemi al di quà dell'Atlantico. Se in America la dinamica è una, in Italia la vera ingiustizia si annida nelle rendite protette e in un sistema pensionistico che penalizza i giovani a favore dei pensionati.Ma non è tutto.Ci spostiamo oltreoceano per esplorare le ideologie che muovono i giganti della Silicon Valley: dal tecno-ottimismo esasperato dell'accelerazionismo di destra, fino alle utopie speculative di sinistra che vedono nell'AI lo strumento perfetto per raggiungere la piena meccanizzazione.Infine, un bagno di realtà che arriva direttamente dall'Europa continentale. Commentiamo la dura intervista rilasciata al Financial Times da Christophe Fouquet, CEO di ASML (il gigante olandese dei macchinari per microchip).Il suo verdetto è senza appello: la burocrazia europea, costantemente alimentata dall'ossessione regolatoria di Bruxelles, non crea quei campioni competitivi che secondo alcuni dovrebbero nascere dagli investimenti pubblici o dalla spinta al "buy European". L'unico suo risultato è mettere ostacoli incessanti a chi produce innovazione reale. Con buona pace dei proclami e delle intenzioni della "politica industriale" calata dall'alto.Preferisci seguire su YouTube?

Staff Meeting: The Difference Made From Serving With Determination - Pastor Bryan Thiel-Aquilina (06/09/2026) by Word of Life Assembly of God

"The source material for my submission to this most recent Cities & Memory call is a field recording by Shaye Thiel, a New York artist whose medium is sound, hearing, perception, and the practice of attention. She is hard-of-hearing and these sounds were recorded with her hearing aids. "I chose to work with and reinterpret Thiel's field recording because I really loved the description of her art and work provided in her cv [https://shayethiel.com]. I encourage you to read it! I first started making ambient/minimal music as a way to address personal issues with tinnitus, insomnia, and anxiety. I really took Brian Eno's “as interesting as it is ignorable” quote to heart, because that sort of liminal music had personally provided me a lot of relief. "I'm interested in creating music that isn't necessarily musical; that uses barely perceptible elements to draw attention or distract it; in which heard sounds or rhythms might actually exist or might simply be created by the convergence of other sounds, the cancellation of frequencies, or who knows what. As Thiel puts it in her cv, sounds that are “entangled, co-created and in constant negotiation.” "My piece was entirely created and assembled in Koala Sampler on my iPhone. "All melodic elements, however simple or complex, have as their root the same single wave cycle, sliced from somewhere in the nineteen-minute recording. "Some of the rhythmic elements are samples from the recording, and some are random noises from Fractal Bits."New York hearing aid soundscape reimagined by daddy fall down.

Informacje o podkaście, odcinkach i autorach: https://teologiazkatowic.pl   Tym razem przyglądamy się teologiczno-politycznym wątkom obecnym w wypowiedziach Petera Thiela, jednego z najbardziej wpływowych przedstawicieli środowiska Doliny Krzemowej. Punktem wyjścia dla rozmowy są jego odwołania do motywów apokaliptycznych: katechona, Antychrysta i fałszywego pokoju, a także sposób, w jaki łączy je z diagnozą współczesnej polityki. W rozmowie odnosimy się do krytyki myśli Thiela, sformułowanej przez biskupa Antonio Staglianò, rektora Papieskiej Akademii Teologicznej. Zastanawiamy się, dlaczego Thiel krytykuje dziedzictwo Oświecenia, zarzucając mu  naiwny optymizm, i w jaki sposób ta krytyka znajduje ujście w niebezpiecznej apologii przemocy. Osobne miejsce poświęcamy teorii mimetyczno-ofiarniczej René Girarda. Pytamy, jak Thiel modyfikuje i zniekształca koncepcję tego myśliciela i jak tym samym ujawnia, że jego apokaliptyczna „teologia” jest u samych podstaw sprzeczna z przekazem Ewangelii.   W rozmowie odwołujemy się do tekstu listu biskupa Staglianò.

Julie Thiel of TTS Company explains why MSPs need to treat retention as a business-building discipline, not a last-minute response to resignations “Turnover doesn't start when someone leaves,” says Julie Thiel of TTS Company. “That's just when you get the wake-up call.” In this episode of Technology Reseller News, Doug Green is joined again by Julie Thiel of TTS Company for the latest conversation in an ongoing series designed to help MSPs understand the human resources side of building a stronger business. The discussion focuses on a common issue for growing MSPs: employee turnover. But rather than treating turnover as something that begins when an employee gives notice, Thiel argues that the warning signs often appear much earlier. Retention, she explains, is tied to leadership, employee experience, culture, communication, expectations and whether team members see a future inside the organization. For MSPs, the stakes are especially high. Losing a strong technician, account manager or operations leader can disrupt customer relationships, reduce service quality and put added strain on the rest of the team. Turnover is not only an HR problem. It can become a customer experience problem, a profitability problem and even a business valuation problem. Thiel says MSP owners should think about retention as part of building equity in the company. A stable, engaged team helps create better customer outcomes and a stronger operating model. That means leaders need to pay attention before someone starts looking elsewhere. The conversation also explores the limits of compensation alone. Thiel notes that while another employer can always offer more money, pay is not the only factor that keeps people in place. “Anyone can offer more money,” Thiel says. “I've gone to jobs where I made a lot more money and it was a terrible experience. It was combat pay.” Her point is that MSPs need to make it harder for good employees to leave by building an environment where people feel valued, supported and connected to the mission of the business. More money may get someone's attention, but a healthy workplace can be the deciding factor in whether they stay. TTS Company, originally founded as Thiel Talent Strategy, works with businesses on the people side of growth. Thiel says her goal is to make HR less intimidating for business owners who may know they need help but are unsure where to begin. “I want HR to not seem so scary,” Thiel says. “We're non-scary HR.” Learn more at thettscompany.com.

The legal and economic factors surrounding international relocation and investment, specifically focusing on billionaire Peter Thiel's move to Argentina. While reports suggest Thiel has relocated to Buenos Aires, experts clarify that he remains a U.S. citizen with the vast majority of his wealth still anchored in America. This shift occurs amid significant legal debates regarding the constitutionality of the U.S. exit tax, which penalizes wealthy individuals who renounce their citizenship to avoid domestic taxes. Concurrently, Argentina and Paraguay are highlighted as increasingly attractive destinations for foreign capital due to market-friendly reforms and territorial tax systems. Investors are closely monitoring Argentina's economic transformation under President Javier Milei to determine if recent stability can be sustained long-term. Ultimately, the texts illustrate a complex interplay between tax policy, personal mobility, and global investment strategies.

ESG StuffBP removes chairman Albert Manifold over governance issues 9The board said the decision was unanimous. In a statement, Amanda Blanc, BP's senior independent director, described the board as having been caught off guard by what it found: "The board has been surprised and disappointed to learn of governance oversight and conduct issues it deems unacceptable and has taken decisive action."The company did not elaborate on the specific nature of the concerns.Ian Tyler has been named interim chair, BP said, with the board set to begin a formal process to identify a permanent successor: "The Board and leadership team have deep conviction in the strategic direction we have laid out, and the company is moving at pace to deliver it."Manifold took up the chairmanship just last October. At last month's annual general meeting, just 81.8% of shareholders backed his electionAmong the most consequential decisions of Manifold's short tenure: pushing out former CEO Murray Auchincloss and overseeing the selection of Meg O'Neill to succeed him — a hire that marked the first time BP had recruited an external CEO and the first time a woman had led one of the oil industry's largest players.Tulsi Gabbard Exit Marks Fourth Woman to Leave Trump Cabinet 0Apology TourBank boss sorry after describing workers as 'lower value human capital' 7Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters triggered a massive PR firestorm by describing the bank's plan to replace back-office staff with automation as replacing "lower-value human capital" with financial investmentStandard Chartered is cutting roughly 7,800 jobs—representing about 15% of its global back-office corporate support roles—over the next four years to make room for AIAfter internal anger and blistering public criticism, Winters posted a formal apology for his "choice of words." However, he initially fueled the fire by attaching the full interview transcript to justify his broader context, drawing further criticism for being defensiveIn his first attempt to quiet the storm, Winters leaned heavily into the corporate strategy rather than apologizing for the specific phrasing: "I said that lower-value roles are more vulnerable to automation, and that we have a responsibility to help colleagues move into higher-value roles. That is what a responsible employer should do. We will continue to speak honestly about the impact of technological change, and we will continue to act responsibly in helping our people to adapt and succeed."After a barrage of negative comments on his first post, Winters returned to LinkedIn later that day to offer an explicit apology for his phrasing: "I have received a lot of support for the messages in my previous post but still get questions about my choice of words, which I know has caused upset to some colleagues. For that I am sorry.""I think the transcript makes it clear that I value our colleagues – all of them – most highly and that we are totally committed to helping them to cope with the accelerating pace of change in our industry."JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon says bank chief's viral AI comment was 'inartful' Dimon downplayed the viral backlash against Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters—who drew fire for saying his bank would replace "lower-value human capital" with technology—calling it an "inartful" slip-of-the-tongue from a friend.Neopbabies and Dropout babiesJames Murdoch to acquire New York Magazine and Vox Media Podcast Network -1Bolt CEO says he let go of his entire HR team for creating problems that didn't exist: ‘Those problems disappeared when I let them go' 6Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow justified firing his entire Human Resources department by claiming they actively manufactured internal frictionThe aggressive purge follows a brutal 97% collapse in Bolt's valuation—crashing from an $11 billion peak in 2022 down to $300 millionTraditional HR has been entirely swapped for a skeletal "people operations" team, shifting the focus away from employee complaints and internal processes toward basic compliance training and empowering managers to make split-second decisionsAlongside gutting HR, Breslow rolled back employee-friendly benefits like four-day workweeks and unlimited PTO, claiming a culture of complacency had taken over and that 99% of his legacy workforce was simply unwilling to work hardRyan dropped out of Stanford in 2014 to launch BoltThe Middle School Boy Man Babies Rule the WorldMan Drives Cybertruck Into Lake to Test Elon Musk's “Boat” Claims, and It Went About as Well as You'd Guess -10"The passengers abandoned the vehicle and the driver was arrested."Tesla CEO Elon Musk:randomly tweeted that the vehicle would function as a rudimentary flotation device.“It will even float for a while.”“[The vehicle would be able to] traverse at least 100m [330 feet] of water as a boat.”“Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes and even seas that aren't too choppy.”Jeff Bezos urges US government to stop taxing 50% of America — and claims doubling his taxes won't help ‘that teacher in Queens' 400Jeff Bezos backs Mamdani's tax on luxury second homes, but says Ken Griffin isn't the villainJeff Bezos on Zohran Mamdani's big mistake: ‘When you don't know how to solve a problem, create a villain, blame them'Jeff Bezos says there is ‘no truth' to the ‘buy borrow die' tax strategyBillionaires Openly Use It: Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has historically pledged over $30 billion worth of his Oracle stock as collateral for personal bank loans. Elon Musk has similarly pledged tens of billions of dollars in Tesla shares to secure lines of credit over the yearsHe said he was "skeptical that that's a true loophole," but added, "If it is, and we can fix it, then we should. I don't think such a loophole should exist."Jeff Bezos Praises Trump's Second Term as ‘More Mature' Jeff Bezos Says AI Will 'Elevate' Workers — Despite Amazon's 30,000 Job Cuts Amid $100 Billion AI PushElon Musk compares his company's work to that of Jesus 0In an interview on Monday, the billionaire said his Neuralink brain-implant company is progressing in its development of ‘Jesus-like technologies'Although brain-computer interface (BCI) as a concept has been around since at least the 1970s, the push to commercialize the technology is more recent. According to data from market-intelligence firm Tracxn, more than 130 BCI startups have been launched since 2016.Why Is Mark Zuckerberg Taunting His Employees Before Firing Them? 20Back in April, Meta announced it was laying off 10 percent of its workforce, or around some 7,800 workers. Unlike traditional layoffs, which are enacted relatively quickly, Meta gave its employees a nearly month-long warning period without announcing who exactly would be headed for the unemployment line.In newly leaked audio from an all-hands meeting at Meta, released by More Perfect Union, the Meta CEO seems to actually be taunting the thousands of workers who were about to be let go by pointing to how the company was harvesting employee data to train its in-house AI models ahead of the massive layoffs.“So we're in a phase where basically the AI models learn from heaving real, from watching really smart people do things. And if you're trying to get it to be able to be able to do certain capabilities, having [AI] be able to observe really smart people doing those things is, is very important.”Going on, Zuckerberg explained that it was better to train AI on soon-to-be-former Meta employees, rather than “contract companies.”“In general, the average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks if you're working through… contractors,” Zuckerberg stammered. “So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally, um, build tools that, or, or solve tasks that, um, that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our models coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do.”Intuit to Cut 17% of Staff, Invest in ‘Big Bets' 3The restructuring cost is estimated at about $300 million to $340 millionAbout 3,100 employees: and invest the savings in “big bets” as it makes artificial intelligence a centerpiece of its business.Woke WarsTexas AG Sues ISS Over ESG Considerations 0Texas AG Ken Paxton (in a senate race) is suing ISS for allegedly “misleading” customers by pushing “radical political agendas” through its proxy adviceNotably, ISS has attempted to obstruct ExxonMobil's planned reincorporation from New Jersey to Texas“ISS has enormous influence over how billions of dollars are invested and managed across this country, and they have abused that influence in order to push woke ideology”Iowa AG Brenna Bird sues ISS, says advice risks retirement savingsIowa Attorney General Brenna Bird is suing the world's largest proxy-advice firm for abusing its influence and threatening Iowans' retirement savings by "lying" to investors.Stakeholders Rule!Wells Fargo must pay $100M to help homebuyers after discrimination lawsuit — 51 cities are eligible 7The settlement, which was recently approved by a federal judge in California, comes after four years of legal disputes involving Wells Fargo shareholders, former employees and job applicants who accused the bank of systemic problems in both lending and hiring practices.While Wells Fargo denied wrongdoing, the company agreed to the deal to avoid prolonged litigation and mounting legal costs.The case centered on allegations that Wells Fargo's board failed to maintain adequate oversight of the bank's mortgage lending operations, exposing the company to regulatory scrutiny and accusations of discriminatory practices.According to reporting from Realtor.com, plaintiffs accused the bank of “widespread and systematic discrimination in lending” and cited concerns over lending algorithms and refinancing approval patterns.The lawsuit stated that Wells Fargo was allegedly the only major lender in 2020 to reject more refinancing applications from Black homeowners than it approved.Airbus, Air France Hit With Manslaughter Charges Over Pilot Training Failures in Deadly 2009 Flight 447 Crash 1A Paris appeals court delivered a dramatic verdict in one of the longest-running and most complex legal sagas in aviation history. The court overturned a 2023 acquittal and found both Airbus and Air France guilty of corporate manslaughter for the tragic 2009 crash of Flight AF447.The ruling marks a massive victory for the victims' families after a 17-year legal battle. A lower court had previously cleared the European planemaker and the French airline in 2023, ruling that while errors were made, a direct causal link to the crash couldn't be proven. The appeals court completely rejected that logic, declaring the companies "solely and entirely responsible" for the disaster.Ride-Share Drivers in Massachusetts Formally Unionize 100The App Drivers Union said it was the first organization in the country to be formally certified to represent drivers for apps such as Uber and Lyft.In a news release, the organization, the App Drivers Union, said it would represent nearly 70,000 workers in Massachusetts who now have the power to collectively bargain.MATTA very special “who do we blame for SpaceX IPO governance” gameFirst, some S-1 highlights:“Starlink internet is what's being used to pay for humanity getting to Mars.” - MuskTranslation: We don't care much about Starlink, it's just paying our AI billsHe's not kidding: $3.2bn revenue for Starlink, net income of $1.2m$0.6bn revenue for rocket ship, net income of -$0.6bn$0.8bn revenue for AI, net income of -$2.5bnThis isn't a space company - it's classic Musk - you buy the vision (“To build the systems and technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary, to understand the true nature of the universe, and to extend the light of consciousness to the stars.”), but what you're really buying is an internet company that spends all its money on AI and does some rockets on the sideLet someone else invent the car (Tesla) and make them sexy with “big visions” for “humanity”Let someone else invent the rockets, build new ones using someone else's moneyLet someone else invent the satellites, put a whole bunch in space (and buy more satellites from someone else)Musk initially took the role of “Chief Engineer”, but every engineering task seems to have been the other employees - he supplied the moneyShoehorned AI into space exploration because…?Grok is designed as a truth-seeking AI model, built on our founder Elon Musk's mission to enable humanity to understand the universe.

Será con toda probabilidad un mensaje humanista que, además, alertará sobre las desmesuradas cifras de dinero que está moviendo (se han conocido los resultados de Nvidia, que fabrica los chips con los que trabaja la IA: 560 millones de dólares al día). También exploramos las derivadas del aterrizaje de Peter Thiel en Argentina, nuevo campo de pruebas para su sueño tecnofascista. Y comentamos lo que supone la creación del primer "huevo artificial", con los que la controvertida empresa Colossal Biosciences ha gestado 26 polluelos.

By Doug Green “You've got to be building with the future in mind, and experienced people will get you there,” said Julie Thiel, TTS Company. For many MSPs and growing technology firms, hiring often begins with a familiar question: should the company hire for potential, or should it bring in experienced people who can contribute immediately? In this Technology Reseller News podcast, I spoke with Julie Thiel of TTS Company about that question and why hiring decisions should be tied to the future direction of the business, not just the immediate need to fill a seat. Thiel said that while potential matters, companies should be careful not to underestimate the value of experience. Experienced people can often see around corners, help a company avoid common mistakes, and bring structure to areas where a growing business may still be informal or reactive. That is especially important for MSPs, where owners and managers are often wearing multiple hats. A smaller company may delay hiring an experienced HR, operations, sales, or technical leader because it feels expensive. But Thiel said that the right hire can help the business mature, scale, and serve customers more effectively. The discussion also focused on the risk of hiring only for the problem of the moment. A company may need help today, but the better question is what kind of organization it is trying to become. Hiring should support that larger vision. For MSPs, that may mean looking for people who understand process, customer relationships, compliance, service delivery, and long-term growth. It may also mean recognizing when a role needs someone who has already been through similar challenges. Thiel emphasized that experience does not mean ignoring culture or adaptability. A strong hire still has to fit the company, work well with the team, and understand the pace of a growing business. But when experience and fit come together, the result can be a hire who helps the company grow faster and with fewer missteps. As we closed the conversation, Thiel said MSPs and growing technology firms should think about hiring not only as a way to fill today's needs, but as a way to build for the future. “You've got to be building with the future in mind, and experienced people will get you there,” said Thiel. For MSPs and business owners who are beginning to think through hiring, HR questions, or long-term team building, Thiel offers free 30-minute discovery calls.

CGB stands for the Cult of Goofy Billionaires, and they are way, way, waaay goofier than you might imagine.I'm talking about prestigious, frontline, brand-name billionaires: Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, and other Silicon Valley Royals who perceive themselves as otherworldly geniuses. As such, they feel entitled to redesign your, my, and humanity's future – whether we want them to or not.So, for months, these techno-oligarchs have been furtively imposing a multitrillion-dollar network of invasive data centers all across America. Why? To power a whole new mechanomorphic species they call “generative AI chatbots.” Musk gushes that the super-intelligent bots will be “more human than humans” able to reproduce themselves, evolve, and displace us primitives in nearly every workplace.Which raises the question: Could this gaggle of billionaire megalomaniacs get any goofier?Gosh, yes! Musk, Thiel, and others have become disciples of a Swedish “philosopher” named Bostrom. He idealizes a “post-human future” in which us biological earthlings literally merge into the digital machine race. Indeed, Judd Legum investigative Substack, Oligarch Watch, reports that Musk has already launched a venture to produce implants to fuse human brains with computers.Meanwhile, Thiel, the PayPal/Palantir billionaire, says policymakers should stop worrying about little problems like world wars and climate change, for “transhumanism” technology will create a digital species that is immortal. He also warns ominously that anyone who tries to regulate AI is doing the bidding of “The Antichrist.”Then there's Google's goofy billionaire, Larry Page, who blithely says “if we let digital minds be free… the outcome is almost certain to be good.” Almost certain? Sure, Larry, unbridled tech never goes bad, right?Do something!The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been at the forefront of the fight to protect humans from and with tech advances for decades, and their work on the impact of AI is vital.

Peter Thiel is backing a radical new idea—floating AI data centres powered by ocean waves. It sounds like science fiction, but serious investors are on board, and it could change how the world powers artificial intelligence. In today's episode of Hashtag Trending, we break down four major tech stories shaping the industry: Why Thiel and other top investors are funding offshore AI infrastructure Why Shopify is cutting revenue teams despite strong operating performance Why Google DeepMind workers in the UK are pushing back on military AI work How AI is now being used to mask accents in offshore call centres The common thread: AI is reshaping not just technology, but how companies operate, hire, and even present themselves to customers. Whether it's energy, ethics, or economics—this episode connects the dots. 00:00 Thiel's Ocean AI Data Centres 02:05 Shopify Cuts Revenue Teams 04:05 Google AI Worker Backlash 06:05 AI Accent Masking in Call Centres

Objection.ai is the new AI-powered tool from Aron D'Souza and Peter Thiel. The duo who helped bankrupt Gawker ten years ago. They're also teaming up to bring the world the steroid-embracing Enhanced Games later this month. D'Souza says Objection.ai is about restoring public trust in journalism and making it more transparent.

Em abril de 2026, depois de 16 anos no poder, Viktor Orbán foi derrotado nas urnas húngaras pelo deputado Péter Magyar e seu partido Tisza. Para Aline Burni, Research Fellow no ODI Global (Bruxelas) e pesquisadora do Observatório da Extrema Direita, o resultado é histórico. Mas o desafio de desmontar a “democracia iliberal” construída ao longo de quatro mandatos consecutivos é incomparavelmente mais complexo do que vencer uma eleição. Neste episódio, produzido em parceria com o Observatório da Extrema Direita, David Magalhães (UFU; OED) e Guilherme Casarões (FIU) recebem Aline para discutir o legado de Orbán como “vitrine” e laboratório da direita radical, a coalizão negativa que viabilizou a vitória de Magyar e os impactos da queda do principal aliado de Moscou na União Europeia sobre a guerra na Ucrânia, as redes transnacionais reacionárias e a articulação geopolítica entre Trump, Bruxelas e Pequim. No segundo bloco, em substituição ao tradicional boletim de notícias, David traça um perfil de Peter Thiel após sua visita a Javier Milei na Casa Rosada, recorrendo a Quinn Slobodian (Crack-Up Capitalism) para situar o cofundador da Palantir na constelação de figuras (Patri Friedman, Curtis Yarvin, Hans-Hermann Hoppe) que pavimentam um projeto de “fuga da democracia” pela via da fragmentação jurisdicional. O episódio fecha com uma dica cultural crítica sobre Por Dentro da Machosfera, documentário recém-lançado na Netflix por Louis Theroux. Aperte o play! Quer apoiar o Chutando a Escada?

Over the course of the past year, Peter Thiel—the Trump backing, Vance boosting gay tech billionaire—has been delivering a series of lectures on the Antichrist, using an examination of the Biblical antagonist of the End Times to make an argument about the supposed perils of this political moment. We got our hands on transcripts of these talks as delivered last year in San Francisco, and explain what Thiel said and why it matters. Topics include: Thiel's conservative evangelical upbringing, the influence of Rene Girard on his thinking, and how Thiel's Antichrist lectures relate to his broader thinking and worldview; the place of the Antichrist in the eschatology of different Christian traditions, and the curious similarities between Thiel's understanding of the Antichrist and that found in the work of Timothy LaHaye, co-author of the Left Behind novels; Christianity's recent trendiness in Silicon Valley; the way Thiel's account of how the Antichrist will come to power connects to his economic interests; and more! ** BUY TICKETS FOR KYE x MIKE DUNCAN LIVE IN NYC ** Listen again:  "Rene Girard and the Right" (w/ John Ganz), KYE, Feb 26, 2024 "A Remedy for Envy?

The U.S. has waged war on Iran for more than a month now. On this week's On the Media, what Defense Secretary Hegseth's monthly Pentagon prayer meetings reveal about his war strategy. Plus, hear how trans rights are being curtailed across the country.  [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with Brian Kaylor, president and editor-in-chief of Word&Way and author of The Bible According to Christian Nationalists, to talk about Defense Secretary Hegseth's monthly prayer meetings at the Pentagon. They discuss what the violent rhetoric reveals about Hegseth's approach to war and why these meetings signal a troubling fusion of church and state.  [18:46] Brooke talks with Marlene Laruelle, professor at Luiss University in Rome and director of the Illiberalism Studies Program at George Washington University, about Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel's series of lectures on religion, tech, politics, and society, which he took to the doorstep of the Vatican last month. They discuss his controversial beliefs about the antichrist, and what Thiel's theology reveals about his desire to reorder politics. [33:04] Brooke speaks with Alejandra Caraballo, civil rights attorney and a clinical instructor at Harvard Law School's Cyberlaw Clinic, about the torrent of legal attacks against trans people, and why she's been looking toward a legal framework invented in the wake of Nazi Germany, called "the dual state," to better understand this moment.  Further reading / watching: “At Pentagon Worship Service, Hegseth Casts Iran Conflict as Violent Holy War Against God's Enemies,” by Brian Kaylor “Peter Thiel in Rome: Is Liberalism Ready for the Return of God?” by Marlene Laruelle “The Dual State of Trans Existence,” by Alejandra Caraballo On the Media is supported by listeners like you.
