Boyle talks UBI and a question from Davie about Mother Aya.
I'd love to know what Labour are saying behind closed doors about the Green Party's alternative Budget released today. I mean, they're playing nice in public - but behind closed doors, they must be tearing their hair out because this is next level crazy. I mean, none of it is a surprise. It is full of exactly the kind of utopian, money grows on trees, when-I-grow-up-I-want-to-be-a-unicorn kind of stuff that we expect from the Greens. There is a wealth tax, there is an increased tax for companies, there are two new personal tax rates, there's a private jet tax, an inheritance tax, there's doubling the bright-line test to bring in more capital gains tax, and a doubling of the minerals tax. They're also gonna save some money by cutting planned prisoner beds, but they haven't quite explained how they're going to stop these bad guys actually committing the crimes that land them in prison in the first place. They're gonna spend the money on light rail in Auckland, an overnight train from Wellington to Auckland, trains from Auckland to Tauranga, trains from Christchurch and Dunedin, trains from Auckland to Hamilton, There's free GPs, free nursing services, free annual dental check-ups, free basic dental care, free prescriptions, and free childcare from age 6 months. There's also free income in the form of a UBI for students and beneficiaries - as I say, just the usual crazy stuff which 90 percent of us voters seem to agree makes them completely unfit to run the country's books. My reaction, obviously, has just been to laugh - because, you know, I was 5 years old too once and I also had these kinds of dreams. Labour's reaction must be to cry, because this kind of loony nonsense that's paraded as serious policy just makes it so much harder for them to get back into Government. I mean, Labour will need the Greens much more than they have in the past, right? We are no longer dealing with the Greens sitting at 5 percent where their nutty ideas can be ignored because they will not get as much out of coalition negotiations, we are now dealing with the Green Party consistently sitting at 10 percent and above. A Labour-Greens government will be 3 quarters Labour and one quarter the Greens - and that's not even counting the other dollop of crazy that's going to come from the Māori Party. Jet tax, death tax, wealth tax, crims out on the street - Labour must be weeping today. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Much has been made of the hallucinatory qualities of OpenAI's ChatGPT product. But as the Wall Street Journal's resident authority on OpenAI, Keach Hagey notes, perhaps the most hallucinatory feature the $300 billion start-up co-founded by the deadly duo of Sam Altman and Elon Musk is its attempt to be simultaneously a for-profit and non-profit company. As Hagey notes, the double life of this double company reached a surreal climax this week when Altman announced that OpenAI was abandoning its promised for-profit conversion. So what, I asked Hagey, are the implications of this corporate volte-face for investors who have poured billions of real dollars into the non-profit in order to make a profit? Will they be Waiting For Godot to get their returns?As Hagey - whose excellent biography of Altman, The Optimist, is out in a couple of weeks - explains, this might be the story of the hubristic 2020's. She speaks of Altman's astonishingly (even for Silicon Valley) hubris in believing that he can get away with the alchemic conceit of inventing a multi trillion dollar for-profit non-profit company. Yes, you can be half-pregnant, Sam is promising us. But, as she warns, at some point this will be exposed as fantasy. The consequences might not exactly be another Enron or FTX, but it will have ramifications way beyond beyond Silicon Valley. What will happen, for example, if future investors aren't convinced by Altman's fantasy and OpenAI runs out of cash? Hagey suggests that the OpenAI story may ultimately become a political drama in which a MAGA President will be forced to bail out America's leading AI company. It's TikTok in reverse (imagine if Chinese investors try to acquire OpenAI). Rather than the conveniently devilish Elon Musk, my sense is that Sam Altman is auditioning to become the real Jay Gatsby of our roaring twenties. Last month, Keach Hagey told me that Altman's superpower is as a salesman. He can sell anything to anyone, she says. But selling a non-profit to for-profit venture capitalists might even be a bridge too far for Silicon Valley's most hallucinatory optimist. Five Key Takeaways * OpenAI has abandoned plans to convert from a nonprofit to a for-profit structure, with pressure coming from multiple sources including attorneys general of California and Delaware, and possibly influenced by Elon Musk's opposition.* This decision will likely make it more difficult for OpenAI to raise money, as investors typically want control over their investments. Despite this, Sam Altman claims SoftBank will still provide the second $30 billion chunk of funding that was previously contingent on the for-profit conversion.* The nonprofit structure creates inherent tensions within OpenAI's business model. As Hagey notes, "those contradictions are still there" after nearly destroying the company once before during Altman's brief firing.* OpenAI's leadership is trying to position this as a positive change, with plans to capitalize the nonprofit and launch new programs and initiatives. However, Hagey notes this is similar to what Altman did at Y Combinator, which eventually led to tensions there.* The decision is beneficial for competitors like XAI, Anthropic, and others with normal for-profit structures. Hagey suggests the most optimistic outcome would be OpenAI finding a way to IPO before "completely imploding," though how a nonprofit-controlled entity would do this remains unclear.Keach Hagey is a reporter at The Wall Street Journal's Media and Marketing Bureau in New York, where she focuses on the intersection of media and technology.

In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children. Full TranscriptAndrew Keen: Hello, everybody. It is May the 6th, a Tuesday, 2025. And the tech media is dominated today by OpenAI's plan to convert its for-profit business to a non-profit side. That's how the Financial Times is reporting it. New York Times says that OpenAI, and I'm quoting them, backtracks on plans to drop nonprofit control and the Wall Street Journal, always very authoritative on the tech front, leads with Open AI abandons planned for profit conversion. The Wall Street Journal piece is written by Keach Hagey, who is perhaps America's leading authority on OpenAI. She was on the show a couple of months ago talking about Sam Altman's superpower which is as a salesman. Keach is also the author of an upcoming book. It's out in a couple weeks, "The Optimist: Sam Altman, OpenAI and the Race to Invent the Future." And I'm thrilled that Keach has been remarkably busy today, as you can imagine, found a few minutes to come onto the show. So, Keach, what is Sam selling here? You say he's a salesman. He's always selling something or other. What's the sell here?Keach Hagey: Well, the sell here is that this is not a big deal, right? The sell is that, this thing they've been trying to do for about a year, which is to make their company less weird, it's not gonna work. And as he was talking to the press yesterday, he was trying to suggest that they're still gonna be able to fundraise, that these folks that they promised that if you give us money, we're gonna convert to a for-profit and it's gonna be much more normal investment for you, but they're gonna get that money, which is you know, a pretty tough thing. So that's really, that's what he's selling is that this is not disruptive to the future of OpenAI.Andrew Keen: For people who are just listening, I'm looking at Keach's face, and I'm sensing that she's doing everything she can not to burst out laughing. Is that fair, Keach?Keach Hagey: Well, it'll remain to be seen, but I do think it will make it a lot harder for them to raise money. I mean, even Sam himself said as much during the talk yesterday that, you know, investors would like to be able to have some say over what happens to their money. And if you're controlled by a nonprofit organization, that's really tough. And what they were trying to do was convert to a new world where investors would have a seat at the table, because as we all remember, when Sam got briefly fired almost two years ago. The investors just helplessly sat on the sidelines and didn't have any say in the matter. Microsoft had absolutely no role to play other than kind of cajoling and offering him a job on the sidelines. So if you're gonna try to raise money, you really need to be able to promise some kind of control and that's become a lot harder.Andrew Keen: And the ramifications more broadly on this announcement will extend to Microsoft and Microsoft stock. I think their stock is down today. We'll come to that in a few minutes. Keach, there was an interesting piece in the week, this week on AI hallucinations are getting worse. Of course, OpenAI is the dominant AI company with their ChatGPT. But is this also kind of hallucination? What exactly is going on here? I have to admit, and I always thought, you know, I certainly know more about tech than I do about other subjects, which isn't always saying very much. But I mean, either you're a nonprofit or you're a for-profit, is there some sort of hallucinogenic process going on where Sam is trying to sell us on the idea that OpenAI is simultaneously a for profit and a nonprofit company?Keach Hagey: Well, that's kind of what it is right now. That's what it had sort of been since 2019 or when it spun up this strange structure where it had a for-profit underneath a nonprofit. And what we saw in the firing is that that doesn't hold. There's gonna come a moment when those two worlds are going to collide and it nearly destroyed the company. To be challenging going forward is that that basic destabilization that like unstable structure remains even though now everything is so much bigger there's so much more money coursing through and it's so important for the economy. It's a dangerous position.Andrew Keen: It's not so dangerous, you seem still faintly amused. I have to admit, I'm more than faintly amused, it's not too bothersome for us because we don't have any money in OpenAI. But for SoftBank and the other participants in the recent $40 billion round of investment in OpenAI, this must be, to say the least, rather disconcerting.Keach Hagey: That was one of the biggest surprises from the press conference yesterday. Sam Altman was asked point blank, is SoftBank still going to give you this sort of second chunk, this $30 billion second chunk that was contingent upon being able to convert to a for-profit, and he said, quite simply, yes. Who knows what goes on in behind the scenes? I think we're gonna find out probably a lot more about that. There are many unanswered questions, but it's not great, right? It's definitely not great for investors.Andrew Keen: Well, you have to guess at the very minimum, SoftBank would be demanding better terms. They're not just going to do the same thing. I mean, it suddenly it suddenly gives them an additional ace in their hand in terms of negotiation. I mean this is not some sort of little startup. This is 30 or 40 billion dollars. I mean it's astonishing number. And presumably the non-public conversations are very interesting. I'm sure, Keach, you would like to know what's being said.Keach Hagey: Don't know yet, but I think your analysis is pretty smart on this matter.Andrew Keen: So if you had to guess, Sam is the consummate salesman. What did he tell SoftBank before April to close the round? And what is he telling them now? I mean, how has the message changed?Keach Hagey: One of the things that we see a little bit about this from the messaging that he gave to the world yesterday, which is this is going to be a simpler structure. It is going to be slightly more normal structure. They are changing the structure a little bit. So although the non-profit is going to remain in charge, the thing underneath it, the for-profit, is going change its structure a little bit and become kind of a little more normal. It's not going to have this capped profit thing where, you know, the investors are capped at 100 times what they put in. So parts of it are gonna become more normal. For employees, it's probably gonna be easier for them to get equity and things like that. So I'm sure that that's part of what he's selling, that this new structure is gonna be a little bit better, but it's not gonna be as good as what they were trying to do.Andrew Keen: Can Sam? I mean, clearly he has sold it. I mean as we joked earlier when we talked, Sam could sell ice to the Laplanders or sand to the Saudis. But these people know Sam. It's no secret that he's a remarkable salesman. That means that sometimes you have to think carefully about what he's saying. What's the impact on him? To what extent is this decision one more chip on the Altman brand?Keach Hagey: It's a setback for sure, and it's kind of a win for Elon Musk, his rival.Andrew Keen: Right.Keach Hagey: Elon has been suing him, Elon has been trying to block this very conversion. And in the end, it seems like it was actually the attorneys general of California and Delaware that really put the nail in the coffin here. So there's still a lot to find out about exactly how it all shook out. There were actually huge campaigns as well, like in the streets, billboards, posters. Polls saying, trying to put pressure on the attorney general to block this thing. So it was a broad coalition, I think, that opposed the conversion, and you can even see that a little bit in their speech. But you got to admit that Elon probably looked at this and was happy.Andrew Keen: And I'm sure Elon used his own X platform to promote his own agenda. Is this an example, Keach, in a weird kind of way of the plebiscitary politics now of Silicon Valley is that titans like Altman and Musk are fighting out complex corporate economic battles in the naked public of social media.Keach Hagey: Yes, in the naked public of social media, but what we're also seeing here is that it's sort of, it's become through the apparatus of government. So we're seeing, you know, Elon is in the Doge office and this conversion is really happening in the state AG's houses. So that's what's sort interesting to me is these like private fights have now expanded to fill both state and federal government.Andrew Keen: Last time we talked, I couldn't find the photo, but there was a wonderful photo of, I think it was Larry Ellison and Sam Altman in the Oval Office with Trump. And Ellison looked very excited. He looked extremely old as well. And Altman looked very awkward. And it's surprising to see Altman look awkward because generally he doesn't. Has Trump played a role in this or is he keeping out of it?Keach Hagey: As far as my current reporting right now, we have no reporting that Trump himself was directly involved. I can't go further than that right now.Andrew Keen: Meaning that you know something that you're not willing to ignore.Keach Hagey: Just I hope you keep your subscription to the Wall Street Journal on what role the White House played, I would say. But as far as that awkwardness, I don't know if you noticed that there was a box that day for Masa Yoshison to see.Andrew Keen: Oh yeah, and Son was in the office too, right, that was the third person.Keach Hagey: So it was a box in the podium, which I think contributed to the awkwardness of the day, because he's not a tall man.Andrew Keen: Right. To put it politely. The way that OpenAI spun it, in classic Sam Altman terms, is new funding to build towards AGI. So it's their Altman-esque use of the public to vindicate this new investment, is this just more quote unquote, and this is my word. You don't have to agree with it. Just sales pitch or might even be dishonesty here. I mean, the reality is, is new funding to build towards AGI, which is, artificial general intelligence. It's not new funding, to build toward AGI. It's new funding to build towards OpenAI, there's no public benefit of any of this, is there?Keach Hagey: Well, what they're saying is that the nonprofit will be capitalized and will sort of be hiring up and doing a bunch more things that it wasn't really doing. We'll have programs and initiatives and all of that. Which really, as someone who studied Sam's life, this sounds really a lot like what he did at Y Combinator. When he was head of Y Combinator, he also spun up a nonprofit arm, which is actually what OpenAI grew out of. So I think in Sam's mind, a nonprofit there's a place to go. Sort of hash out your ideas, it's a place to kind of have pet projects grow. That's where he did things like his UBI study. So I can sort of see that once the AGs are like, this is not gonna happen, he's like, great, we'll just make a big nonprofit and I'll get to do all these projects I've always wanted to do.Andrew Keen: Didn't he get thrown out of Y Combinator by Paul Graham for that?Keach Hagey: Yes, a little bit. You know, I would say there's a general mutiny for too much of that kind of stuff. Yeah, it's true. People didn't love it, and they thought that he took his eye off the ball. A little bit because one of those projects became OpenAI, and he became kind of obsessed with it and stopped paying attention. So look, maybe OpenAI will spawn the next thing, right? And he'll get distracted by that and move on.Andrew Keen: No coincidence, of course, that Sam went on to become a CEO of OpenAI. What does it mean for the broader AI ecosystem? I noted earlier you brought up Microsoft. I mean, I think you've already written on this and lots of other people have written about the fact that the relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft has cooled dramatically. As well as between Nadella and Altman. What does this mean for Microsoft? Is it a big deal?Keach Hagey: They have been hashing this out for months. So it is a big deal in that it will change the structure of their most important partner. But even before this, Microsoft and OpenAI were sort of locked in negotiations over how large and how Microsoft's stake in this new OpenAI will be valued. And that still has to be determined, regardless of whether it's a non-profit or a for-profit in charge. And their interests are diverging. So those negotiations are not as warm as they maybe would have been a few years ago.Andrew Keen: It's a form of polyamory, isn't it? Like we have in Silicon Valley, everyone has sex with everybody else, to put it politely.Keach Hagey: Well, OpenAI does have a new partner in Oracle. And I would expect them to have many more in terms of cloud computing partners going forward. It's just too much risk for any one company to build these huge and expensive data centers, not knowing that OpenAI is going to exist in a certain number of years. So they have to diversify.Andrew Keen: Keach, you know, this is amusing and entertaining and Altman is a remarkable individual, able to sell anything to anyone. But at what point are we really on the Titanic here? And there is such a thing as an iceberg, a real thing, whatever Donald Trump or other manufacturers of ontologies might suggest. At some point, this thing is going to end in a massive disaster.Keach Hagey: Are you talking about the Existence Force?Andrew Keen: I'm not talking about the Titanic, I'm talking about OpenAI. I mean, Parmi Olson, who's the other great authority on OpenAI, who won the FT Book of the Year last year, she's been on the show a couple of times, she wrote in Bloomberg that OpenAI can't have its money both ways, and that's what Sam is trying to do. My point is that we can all point out, excuse me, the contradictions and the hypocrisy and all the rest of it. But there are laws of gravity when it comes to economics. And at a certain point, this thing is going to crash, isn't it? I mean, what's the metaphor? Is it Enron? Is it Sam Bankman-Fried? What kind of examples in history do we need to look at to try and figure out what really is going on here?Keach Hagey: That's certainly one possibility, and there are a good number of people who believe that.Andrew Keen: Believe what, Enron or Sam Bankman-Fried?Keach Hagey: Oh, well, the internal tensions cannot hold, right? I don't know if fraud is even necessary so much as just, we've seen it, we've already seen it happen once, right, the company almost completely collapsed one time and those contradictions are still there.Andrew Keen: And when you say it happened, is that when Sam got pushed out or was that another or something else?Keach Hagey: No, no, that's it, because Sam almost got pushed out and then all of the funders would go away. So Sam needs to be there for them to continue raising money in the way that they have been raising money. And that's really going to be the question. How long can that go on? He's a young man, could go on a very long time. But yeah, I think that really will determine whether it's a disaster or not.Andrew Keen: But how long can it go on? I mean, how long could Sam have it both ways? Well, there's a dream. I mean maybe he can close this last round. I mean he's going to need to raise more than $40 billion. This is such a competitive space. Tens of billions of dollars are being invested almost on a monthly basis. So this is not the end of the road, this $40-billion investment.Keach Hagey: Oh, no. And you know, there's talk of IPO at some point, maybe not even that far away. I don't even let me wrap my mind around what it would be for like a nonprofit to have a controlling share at a public company.Andrew Keen: More hallucinations economically, Keach.Keach Hagey: But I mean, IPO is the exit for investors, right? That's the model, that is the Silicon Valley model. So it's going to have to come to that one way or another.Andrew Keen: But how does it work internally? I mean, for the guys, the sales guys, the people who are actually doing the business at OpenAI, they've been pretty successful this year. The numbers are astonishing. But how is this gonna impact if it's a nonprofit? How does this impact the process of selling, of building product, of all the other internal mechanics of this high-priced startup?Keach Hagey: I don't think it will affect it enormously in the short term. It's really just a question of can they continue to raise money for the enormous amount of compute that they need. So so far, he's been able to do that, right? And if that slows up in any way, they're going to be in trouble. Because as Sam has said many times, AI has to be cheap to be actually useful. So in order to, you know, for it to be widespread, for to flow like water, all of those things, it's got to be cheap and that's going to require massive investment in data centers.Andrew Keen: But how, I mean, ultimately people are putting money in so that they get the money back. This is not a nonprofit endeavor to put 40 billion from SoftBank. SoftBank is not in the nonprofit business. So they're gonna need their money back and the only way they generally, in my understanding, getting money back is by going public, especially with these numbers. How can a nonprofit go public?Keach Hagey: It's a great question. That's what I'm just phrasing. I mean, this is, you know, you talk to folks, this is what's like off in the misty distance for them. It's an, it's a fascinating question and one that we're gonna try to answer this week.Andrew Keen: But you look amused. I'm no financial genius. Everyone must be asking the same question.Keach Hagey: Well, the way that they've said it is that the for-profit will be, will have a, the non-profit will control the for profit and be the largest shareholder in it, but the rest of the shares could be held by public markets theoretically. That's a great question though.Andrew Keen: And lawyers all over the world must be wrapping their hands. I mean, in the very best case, it's gonna be lawsuits on this, people suing them up the wazoo.Keach Hagey: It's absolutely true. You should see my inbox right now. It's just like layers, layers, layer.Andrew Keen: Yeah, my wife. My wife is the head of litigation. I don't know if I should be saying this publicly anyway, I am. She's the head of Litigation at Google. And she lost some of her senior people and they all went over to AI. I'm big, I'm betting that they regret going over there can't be much fun being a lawyer at OpenAI.Keach Hagey: I don't know, I think it'd be great fun. I think you'd have like enormous challenges and have lots of billable hours.Andrew Keen: Unless, of course, they're personally being sued.Keach Hagey: Hopefully not. I mean, look, it is a strange and unprecedented situation.Andrew Keen: To what extent is this, if not Shakespearean, could have been written by some Greek dramatist? To what extend is this symbolic of all the hype and salesmanship and dishonesty of Silicon Valley? And in a sense, maybe this is a final scene or a penultimate scene in the Silicon Valley story of doing good for the world. And yet, of course, reaping obscene profit.Keach Hagey: I think it's a little bit about trying to have your cake and eat it too, right? Trying to have the aura of altruism, but also make something and make a lot of money. And what it seems like today is that if you started as a nonprofit, it's like a black hole. You can never get out. There's no way to get out, and that idea was just like maybe one step too clever when they set it up in the beginning, right. It seemed like too good to be true because it was. And it might end up really limiting the growth of the company.Andrew Keen: Is Sam completely in charge here? I mean, a number of the founders have left. Musk, of course, when you and I talked a couple of months ago, OpenAI came out of conversations between Musk and Sam. Is he doing this on his own? Does he have lieutenants, people who he can rely on?Keach Hagey: Yeah, I mean, he does. He has a number of folks that have been there, you know, a long time.Andrew Keen: Who are they? I mean, do we know their names?Keach Hagey: Oh, sure. Yeah. I mean, like Brad Lightcap and Jason Kwon and, you know, just they're they're Greg Brockman, of course, still there. So there are a core group of executives that have that have been there pretty much from the beginning, close to it, that he does trust. But if you're asking, like, is Sam really in control of this whole thing? I believe the answer is yes. Right. He is on the board of this nonprofit, and that nonprofit will choose the board of the for-profit. So as long as that's the case, he's in charge.Andrew Keen: How divided is OpenAI? I mean, one of the things that came out of the big crisis, what was it, 18 months ago when they tried to push him out, was it was clearly a profoundly divided company between those who believed in the nonprofit mission versus the for-profit mission. Are those divisions still as acute within the company itself? It must be growing. I don't know how many thousands of people work.Keach Hagey: It has grown very fast. It is not as acute in my experience. There was a time when it was really sort of a warring of tribes. And after the blip, as they call it, a lot of those more safety focused people, people that subscribe to effective altruism, left or were kind of pushed out. So Sam took over and kind of cleaned house.Andrew Keen: But then aren't those people also very concerned that it appears as if Sam's having his cake and eating it, having it both ways, talking about the company being a non-profit but behaving as if it is a for-profit?Keach Hagey: Oh, yeah, they're very concerned. In fact, a number of them have signed on to this open letter to the attorneys general that dropped, I don't know, a week and a half ago, something like that. You can see a number of former OpenAI employees, whistleblowers and others, saying this very thing, you know, that the AG should block this because it was supposed to be a charitable mission from the beginning. And no amount of fancy footwork is gonna make it okay to toss that overboard.Andrew Keen: And I mean, in the best possible case, can Sam, the one thing I think you and I talked about last time is Sam clearly does, he's not driven by money. There's something else. There's some other demonic force here. Could he theoretically reinvent the company so that it becomes a kind of AI overlord, a nonprofit AI overlord for our 21st century AI age?Keach Hagey: Wow, well I think he sometimes thinks of it as like an AI layer and you know, is this my overlord? Might be, you know.Andrew Keen: As long as it's not made in China, I hope it's made in India or maybe in Detroit or something.Keach Hagey: It's a very old one, so it's OK. But it's really my attention overlord, right? Yeah, so I don't know about the AI overlord part. Although it's interesting, Sam from the very beginning has wanted there to be a democratic process to control what decision, what kind of AI gets built and what are the guardrails for AGI. As long as he's there.Andrew Keen: As long as he's the one determining it, right?Keach Hagey: We talked about it a lot in the very beginning of the company when things were smaller and not so crazy. And what really strikes me is he doesn't really talk about that much anymore. But what we did just see is some advocacy organizations that kind of function in that exact way. They have voters all over the world and they all voted on, hey, we want you guys to go and try to that ended up having this like democratic structure for deciding the future of AI and used it to kind of block what he was trying to do.Andrew Keen: What are the implications for OpenAI's competitors? There's obviously Anthropic. Microsoft, we talked about a little bit, although it's a partner and a competitor simultaneously. And then of course there's Google. I assume this is all good news for the competition. And of course XAI.Keach Hagey: It is good news, especially for a company like XAI. I was just speaking to an XAI investor today who was crowing. Yeah, because those companies don't have this weird structure. Only OpenAI has this strange nonprofit structure. So if you are an investor who wants to have some exposure to AI, it might just not be worth the headache to deal with the uncertainty around the nonprofit, even though OpenAI is like the clear leader. It might be a better bet to invest in Anthropic or XAI or something else that has just a normal for-profit structure.Andrew Keen: Yeah. And it's hard to actually quote unquote out-Trump, Elon Musk on economic subterfuge. But Altman seems to have done that. I mean, Musk, what he folded X into XAI. It was a little bit of controversy, but he seems to got away with it. So there is a deep hostility between these two men, which I'm assuming is being compounded by this process.Keach Hagey: Absolutely. Again, this is a win for Elon. All these legal cases and Elon trying to buy OpenAI. I remember that bid a few months ago where he actually put a number on it. All that was about trying to block the for-profit conversion because he's trying to stop OpenAI and its tracks. He also claims they've abandoned their mission, but it's always important to note that it's coming from a competitor.Andrew Keen: Could that be a way out of this seeming box? Keach, a company like XAI or Microsoft or Google, or that probably wouldn't happen on the antitrust front, would buy OpenAI as maybe a nonprofit and then transform it into a for-profit company?Keach Hagey: Maybe you and Sam should get together and hash that out. That's the kind ofAndrew Keen: Well Sam, I'm available to be hired if you're watching. I'll probably charge less than your current consigliere. What's his name? Who's the consiglieri who's working with him on this?Keach Hagey: You mean Chris Lehane?Andrew Keen: Yes, Chris Lehane, the ego.Keach Hagey: Um,Andrew Keen: How's Lehane holding up in this? Do you think he's getting any sleep?Keach Hagey: Well, he's like a policy guy. I'm sure this has been challenging for everybody. But look, you are pointing to something that I think is real, which is there will probably be consolidation at some point down the line in AI.Andrew Keen: I mean, I know you're not an expert on the maybe sort of corporate legal stuff, but is it in theory possible to buy a nonprofit? I don't even know how you buy a non-profit and then turn it into a for-profit. I mean is that one way out of this, this cul-de-sac?Keach Hagey: I really don't know the answer to that question, to be honest with you. I can't think of another example of it happening. So I'm gonna go with no, but I don't now.Andrew Keen: There are no equivalents, sorry to interrupt, go on.Keach Hagey: No, so I was actually asking a little bit, are there precedents for this? And someone mentioned Blue Cross Blue Shield had gone from being a nonprofit to a for-profit successfully in the past.Andrew Keen: And we seem a little amused by that. I mean, anyone who uses US health care as a model, I think, might regret it. Your book, The Optimist, is out in a couple of weeks. When did you stop writing it?Keach Hagey: The end of December, end of last year, was pencils fully down.Andrew Keen: And I'm sure you told the publisher that that was far too long a window. Seven months on Silicon Valley is like seven centuries.Keach Hagey: It was actually a very, very tight timeline. They turned it around like incredibly fast. Usually it'sAndrew Keen: Remarkable, yeah, exactly. Publishing is such, such, they're such quick actors, aren't they?Keach Hagey: In this case, they actually were, so I'm grateful for that.Andrew Keen: Well, they always say that six months or seven months is fast, but it is actually possible to publish a book in probably a week or two, if you really choose to. But in all seriousness, back to this question, I mean, and I want everyone to read the book. It's a wonderful book and an important book. The best book on OpenAI out. What would you have written differently? Is there an extra chapter on this? I know you warned about a lot of this stuff in the book. So it must make you feel in some ways quite vindicated.Keach Hagey: I mean, you're asking if I'd had a longer deadline, what would I have liked to include? Well, if you're ready.Andrew Keen: Well, if you're writing it now with this news under your belt.Keach Hagey: Absolutely. So, I mean, the thing, two things, I guess, definitely this news about the for-profit conversion failing just shows the limits of Sam's power. So that's pretty interesting, because as the book was closing, we're not really sure what those limits are. And the other one is Trump. So Trump had happened, but we do not yet understand what Trump 2.0 really meant at the time that the book was closing. And at that point, it looked like Sam was in the cold, you know, he wasn't clear how he was going to get inside Trump's inner circle. And then lo and behold, he was there on day one of the Trump administration sharing a podium with him announcing that Stargate AI infrastructure investment. So I'm sad that that didn't make it into the book because it really just shows the kind of remarkable character he is.Andrew Keen: He's their Zelig, but then we all know what happened to Woody Allen in the end. In all seriousness, and it's hard to keep a straight face here, Keach, and you're trying although you're not doing a very good job, what's going to happen? I know it's an easy question to ask and a hard one to answer, but ultimately this thing has to end in catastrophe, doesn't it? I use the analogy of the Titanic. There are real icebergs out there.Keach Hagey: Look, there could be a data breach. I do think that.Andrew Keen: Well, there could be data breaches if it was a non-profit or for-profit, I mean, in terms of this whole issue of trying to have it both ways.Keach Hagey: Look, they might run out of money, right? I mean, that's one very real possibility. They might run outta money and have to be bought by someone, as you said. That is a totally real possibility right now.Andrew Keen: What would happen if they couldn't raise any more money. I mean, what was the last round, the $40 billion round? What was the overall valuation? About $350 billion.Keach Hagey: Yeah, mm-hmm.Andrew Keen: So let's say that they begin to, because they've got, what are their hard costs monthly burn rate? I mean, it's billions of just.Keach Hagey: Well, the issue is that they're spending more than they are making.Andrew Keen: Right, but you're right. So they, let's say in 18 months, they run out of runway. What would people be buying?Keach Hagey: Right, maybe some IP, some servers. And one of the big questions that is yet unanswered in AI is will it ever economically make sense, right? Right now we are all buying the possibility of in the future that the costs will eventually come down and it will kind of be useful, but that's still a promise. And it's possible that that won't ever happen. I mean, all these companies are this way, right. They are spending far, far more than they're making.Andrew Keen: And that's the best case scenario.Keach Hagey: Worst case scenario is the killer robots murder us all.Andrew Keen: No, what I meant in the best case scenario is that people are actually still without all the blow up. I mean, people are actual paying for AI. I mean on the one hand, the OpenAI product is, would you say it's successful, more or less successful than it was when you finished the book in December of last year?Keach Hagey: Oh, yes, much more successful. Vastly more users, and the product is vastly better. I mean, even in my experience, I don't know if you play with it every day.Andrew Keen: I use Anthropic.Keach Hagey: I use both Claude and ChatGPT, and I mean, they're both great. And I find them vastly more useful today than I did even when I was closing the book. So it's great. I don't know if it's really a great business that they're only charging me $20, right? That's great for me, but I don't think it's long term tenable.Andrew Keen: Well, Keach Hagey, your new book, The Optimist, your new old book, The Optimist: Sam Altman, Open AI and the Race to Invent the Future is out in a couple of weeks. I hope you're writing a sequel. Maybe you should make it The Pessimist.Keach Hagey: I think you might be the pessimist, Andrew.Andrew Keen: Well, you're just, you are as pessimistic as me. You just have a nice smile. I mean, in all reality, what's the most optimistic thing that can come out of this?Keach Hagey: The most optimistic is that this becomes a product that is actually useful, but doesn't vastly exacerbate inequality.Andrew Keen: No, I take the point on that, but in terms of this current story of this non-profit versus profit, what's the best case scenario?Keach Hagey: I guess the best case scenario is they find their way to an IPO before completely imploding.Andrew Keen: With the assumption that a non-profit can do an IPO.Keach Hagey: That they find the right lawyers from wherever they are and make it happen.Andrew Keen: Well, AI continues its hallucinations, and they're not in the product themselves. I think they're in their companies. One of the best, if not the best authority, our guide to all these hallucinations in a corporate level is Keach Hagey, her new book, The Optimist: Sam Altman, Open AI and the Race to Invent the Future is out in a couple of weeks. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand Sam Altman as the consummate salesman. And I think one thing we can say for sure, Keach, is this is not the end of the story. Is that fair?Keach Hagey: Very fair. Not the end of the story. This is a public episode.

This is the latest in a long trend of banks shuttering as the system reaches a breaking point. The banks are bankrupt. Their cash to deposit ratios are much of the time under 1%. The FDIC cannot insure the debts. 63 central banks are implementing Basel III to bring in Bail-In Regimes. This means they basically empty your bank account. In 2024, banks closed 1,043 branches nationwide and this year's trends see a massive acceleration. So far we have seen 272 locations shuttered in just the first quarter. Simultaneously alongside the banks collapsing, retail continues to collapse as well in what they call the "retail apocalypse" as Rite Aid files for a second bankruptcy, Subway closes countless locations and the company that founded Canada, the Hudson Bay Company closes all locations. What we are witnessing is historic, so it's suspicious to say the absolute very least to see AI being propped up by both leftist and right wing governments worldwide as the so-called "solution." Elon Musk at the recent Milken Conference called for AI to replace government as he also says it will replace nearly all jobs and we will live with Universal Basic Income, UBI. This is the agenda of the World Economic Forum and via carbon credit allotments in 15 Minute Cities and the use of digital IDs with CBDCs, we are facing down total technocratic enslavement and dependence. The European Union is banning privacy coins by 2027 restricting people from doing anything digitally without total centralized surveillance and the EU is also releasing their CBDC by October this year at the latest. With the STABLE and GENIUS Acts passing in the United States, a centralized Stablecoin system is being implemented essentially creating a CBDC in the United States complete with KYC.

Sau khi Đức Phanxicô qua đời, kể từ ngày 07/05/2025, vào lúc 16 giờ 30 phút, 133 hồng y trên toàn thế giới sẽ bước vào nhà nguyện Sistina, bắt đầu vòng bỏ phiếu đầu tiên của Mật nghị Hồng y để chọn ra người kế nhiệm thứ 267 của thánh Phê-rô, cho Giáo hội Công giáo. Đây là mật nghị thứ 76 trong lịch sử Giáo hội và là lần thứ 26 diễn ra dưới tác phẩm Ngày Phán Xét Cuối Cùng của Michelangelo. Khi Đức giáo hoàng qua đờiĐức giáo hoàng là người đứng đầu Giáo hội Công giáo và quốc gia Vatican. Tổ chức của Giáo hội không chỉ gói gọn tại Tòa Thánh Vatican mà trải rộng trên toàn thế giới nơi có các hồng y và giám mục cộng tác với Giáo hoàng trong việc điều hành Giáo hội tại địa phương. Vậy khi đức giáo hoàng qua đời, tức là Tòa Thánh không có người đứng đầu, gọi là thời kỳ Trống Tòa, thì chuyện gì sẽ xảy ra ?Theo Tông huấn Praedicate evangelium (2022) của Đức Phanxicô, thì « khi Trống Tòa, tất cả những người đứng đầu các tổ chức và thành viên giáo triều đều phải dừng các chức vụ ». Nhưng hồng y Chánh án Tòa Ân giải Tối cao chịu trách nhiệm về các vấn đề liên quan đến bí tích giải tội và hồng y phụ trách các vấn đề bác ái vẫn « tiếp tục thực hiện các công việc bác ái, theo cùng các tiêu chí đã được tuân thủ trong thời kỳ giáo hoàng và vẫn phục vụ Hội đồng Hồng y cho đến khi bầu ra giáo hoàng mới ».Tuy nhiên, trong thời gian chờ đợi, các văn phòng và các bộ của Tòa Thánh vẫn tiếp tục làm việc để xử lý các vấn đề thường nhật. Như Phủ Quốc vụ khanh Tòa Thánh, cũng như các bộ Giáo lý Đức tin, bộ Phụng tự và Kỷ luật Bí tích, bộ Giám mục, bộ Giáo sĩ, Tòa Ân giải Tông Tòa và Phủ Thống đốc Thành Vatican.Nhưng trong thời kỳ vắng giáo hoàng, quyền lực dân sự của Tòa Thánh thuộc về Hồng y đoàn, cơ chế có trách nhiệm bàn luận và quyết định về lễ tang cũng như ngày giờ cho việc bầu chọn giáo hoàng mới, điều mà cả thế giới hiện đang hướng về Vatican để chờ đợi.Mật nghị Hồng yLịch sử Giáo hội Công giáo có hơn 2000 năm, nhưng cho đến hiện tại chỉ có 76 mật nghị với 266 vị giáo hoàng, cũng như mới có 26 lần mật nghị diễn ra ở nhà nguyện Sistina. Trong hơn 1200 năm đầu của lịch sử Giáo hội, người kế nhiệm thánh Phê-rô, với tư cách là giám mục Roma, được chọn với sự tham gia của các cộng đoàn địa phương. Các giáo sĩ xem xét các ứng viên do các tín hữu đề xuất và giáo hoàng mới được các giám mục chọn ra.Năm 1059, Đức Nicola II ra sắc lệnh In nomine Domini quy định cụ thể rằng chỉ có hồng y mới có quyền bầu giáo hoàng. Sắc lệnh đã được phê chuẩn một cách chắc chắn bởi tông hiến Licet de vitanda do Đức Alexandro III ban hành năm 1179. Theo đó, giáo hoàng phải được chọn với đa số hai phần ba số phiếu, một yếu tố quan trọng trong cuộc bầu cử giáo hoàng vẫn còn tồn tại cho đến ngày nay.Thuật ngữ mật nghị trong tiếng việt có nguồn gốc từ tiếng Latin « cum-clave », nghĩa là một không gian trong nhà, được « khóa chặt ». Trong ngôn ngữ của Giáo hội, nó được dùng để chỉ địa điểm kín nơi Hồng y đoàn quy tụ để bầu giáo hoàng mới.Thuật ngữ này bắt nguồn từ cuộc bầu chọn giáo hoàng sau cuộc mật nghị dài nhất trong lịch sử vào năm 1268. Phải mất đến hai năm chín tháng mới bầu được giáo hoàng. Vì quá lâu, nên người dân Viterbo vô cùng tức giận và quyết định nhốt 18 vị hồng y trong Dinh Tông tòa. Tất cả cửa ra vào và cửa sổ bị xây kín, mái nhà đã bị dỡ bỏ và lương thực bị cắt giảm.Cuối cùng, Đức Gregorio X đã được bầu chọn. Và ngài ban hành tông hiến Ubi periculum năm 1274, chính thức thành lập Mật nghị và quy định rằng Mật nghị phải được tổ chức ở một nơi thực sự được « khóa » cả bên trong và bên ngoài.Cuộc mật nghị chính thức đầu tiên diễn ra vào năm 1276 tại Arezzo để bầu ra Đức Innocente V. Kể từ đó, đã có thêm nhiều quy định về mật nghị. Đức giáo hoàng Gregorio XV (1621), đưa ra yêu cầu bỏ phiếu kín và bằng văn bản, và Đức Pio X buộc các hồng y phải giữ bí mật những gì xảy ra trong và sau mật nghị.Những thay đổi sau Thế Chiến IIĐến thời hiện đại, nhất là từ sau Chiến tranh thế giới II, đã có nhiều cải tổ trong việc bầu giáo hoàng. Năm 1945, Đức Piô XII ban hành tông hiến Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis liên quan đến thời điểm “Sede Vacante” (Trống Tòa) như đã nói ở trên.Trong điều đại của Đức Phaolô VI, quy định việc các hồng y chỉ có thể là cử tri cho đến trước 80 tuổi, đồng thời ấn định « số lượng hồng y cử tri tối đa không được vượt quá 120 » đã được ban hành.Văn bản luật hiện hành có hiệu lực đối với việc bầu giáo hoàng là tông hiến Universi Dominici Gregis, được Đức Gioan Phaolô II ban hành năm 1996 và được Đức Benedicto XVI sửa đổi vào năm 2013. Trong đó có quy định rằng Mật nghị Hồng y phải được tổ chức tại Nhà nguyện Sistina.Đức Benedicto XVI ra cũng quy định rằng, sau 34 lần bỏ phiếu mà vẫn không bầu được giáo hoàng, thì hai hồng y nhận được nhiều phiếu bầu nhất sẽ vào chung kết, nhưng vẫn duy trì quy tắc đa số hai phần ba phiếu bầu, để bầu ra vị mục tử mới của Giáo hội.Mật nghị tháng năm 2025Lần mật nghị này sẽ có 135 hồng y cử tri của Hồng y đoàn đến từ 71 quốc gia trên khắp các châu lục. Nhưng 2 người trong số họ sẽ không bước vào nhà nguyện Sistina vì lý do sức khỏe hay pháp lý. Trong số 135 cử tri, có 39% số hồng y đến từ châu Âu, giảm đáng kể so với tỷ lệ 52% trong lần Mật nghị năm 2013. Các hồng y người Ý, tuy vẫn là nhóm đông nhất, 17 cử tri, ít hơn tới 11 người so với năm 2013.Châu Phi, châu Á và châu Đại Dương cũng ghi nhận sự gia tăng trong Mật nghị lần này. Ngoài ra còn có các hồng y đến từ 15 quốc gia lần đầu tiên có đại diện tham dự Mật Nghị. Những con số này đã khẳng định sự quan tâm và chú ý mà Đức giáo hoàng Phanxicô dành cho Giáo hội, cũng như số lượng tín hữu Ki-tô giáo đông đảo nhất ở châu Á và châu Phi.Làm sao chọn lựa giữa các ứng viên ?Tính đến ngày 07/12/2024, có 253 hồng y trong toàn Giáo hội Công giáo. Việt Nam có 2 hồng y. Theo nguyên tắc, tất cả 253 vị này sẽ về Roma sau khi Đức Phanxicô qua đời để tham gia Hội đồng Hồng y. Nhưng vì nhiều lý do, đa số vì sức khỏe, nên chỉ có hơn phân nửa số này quy tụ về Roma.Hội đồng Hồng y, do hồng y niên trưởng chủ trì các buổi họp sau khi giáo hoàng qua đời để có những quyết định về tang lễ cũng như ngày giờ diễn ra Mật nghị bầu giáo hoàng mới. Hội đồng Hồng y nhóm họp mỗi ngày trước khi diễn ra Mật nghị để các hồng y bàn thảo về tương lai của Giáo hội. Đó cũng là thời gian để các hồng y làm quen với nhau và chờ đợi các hồng y cử tri đến Roma.Trong các Hội đồng Hồng y, các hồng y tham dự nhất là các hồng y cử tri, tức là những vị dưới 80 tuổi, đều phải đăng ký phát biểu ý kiến của mình về những vấn đề của Giáo hội. Một cách nào đó, đây là cách tự giới thiệu ứng viên cho chức vụ kế vị thánh Phê-rô. Trong các hội nghị này, các ngôn ngữ Anh, Pháp, Ý, Tây Ban Nha và Đức được dùng phát biểu và thông dịch, nhưng khi vào Mật nghị thì sẽ không còn thông dịch nữa.Ngày 7 tháng Năm năm 2025Mật nghị Hồng y bắt đầu vào ngày 7 tháng 5 lúc 10 giờ sáng tại Vương cung thánh đường Thánh Phêrô, sau Thánh lễ « pro eligendo Pontifice » cầu nguyện cho việc chọn lựa giáo hoàng. Sau đó, 133 hồng y cử tri sẽ được « khóa » ở Nhà Thánh Marta - Casa Santa Marta, nơi họ sẽ ở trong thời gian bỏ phiếu. Việc chia phòng cho họ do rút thăm ngẫu nhiên và họ sẽ được xe buýt chở đến nhà nguyện Sistina. Và dĩ nhiên, trong suốt thời gian này, điện thoại, máy tính và các phương tiện liên lạc đều bị thu giữ.Ngoại trừ ngày 7 tháng 5, khi cuộc bỏ phiếu đầu tiên và duy nhất trong ngày diễn ra vào buổi chiều, những ngày tiếp theo của Mật nghị sẽ có 4 cuộc bỏ phiếu, 2 cho buổi sáng và 2 vào buổi chiều. Mỗi ngày sẽ có 2 lần khói bốc lên từ ống khói, một cuối buổi sáng và một vào cuối buổi chiều, trừ khi giáo hoàng được bầu trước và trong trường hợp đó, khói sẽ được bay lên sớm hơn. Khói đen là chưa có giáo hoàng và khói trắng là tin vui.Bình thường, vị hồng y niên trưởng sẽ là người chủ trì các cuộc bỏ phiếu. Nhưng năm nay, vị này đã quá 80 tuổi nên ngài sẽ không được vào trong nhà nguyện Sistina, mà thay vào đó hồng y Pietro Parolin là người điều hành.Tại mỗi chỗ của các hồng y cử tri trong nhà nguyện Sistina, sẽ có sách nguyện để các vị đọc kinh phụng vụ và danh sách của 133 vị hồng y cử tri. Vì sao số hồng y năm nay lại đông hơn mức quy định là 120 ? Điều này do Hội đồng Hồng y quyết định chứ không nhất quyết phải theo đúng quy định của Đức Phaolô VI. Mỗi lá phiếu bằng tiếng la tinh theo mẫu : Tên (hồng y) xin chọn …. làm giáo hoàng. (ký tên)(https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conclave#/media/Fichier:Folded_conclave_ballot.jpg)Khi giáo hoàng được chọn, tất cả các hồng y còn lại của cử tri đoàn sẽ đến trước vị tân giáo hoàng và quỳ xuống để hôn nhẫn của ngài như cử chỉ chúc mừng và tỏ lòng vâng phục. Sau đó vị chưởng nghi, tức người điều phối các buổi cử hành phụng vụ của giáo hoàng, sẽ hỏi tên hiệu của tân giáo hoàng.Rồi ngài sẽ được dẫn qua Phòng Than Khóc – salla della Lamentazione để thay phẩm phục giáo hoàng trước khi ra chào toàn thể Dân Chúa tại ban công chính của Vương cung thánh đường Thánh Phê-rô. Tại đây, vị hồng y đẳng phó tế sẽ thông báo bắt đầu bằng công thức “Habemus papam”. Lần này sẽ là hồng y Dominique Mamberti, một người Pháp, nếu như ngài không được bầu làm giáo hoàng.Bất ngờ sẽ luôn xảy ra Từ sau chiến tranh, chỉ có hai vị được bầu mà không gây bất ngờ lớn là đức Pio XII (1939) và Đức Benedicto XVI (2005). Còn lại thì luôn là sự bất ngờ. Chính Đức Benedicto XVI, người đã rất bất ngờ trước kết quả của mật nghị 2013 mặc dù ngài và người kế nhiệm ngài đều vào chung kết của mật nghị 2005. Vì thực sự, không hề có tiêu chí cụ thể để có thể tiên đoán về kết quả. Và ở Roma có câu thành ngữ la tinh cổ nói về Mật nghị “Chi entra ner conclave papa, ne risorte cardinale” nghĩa là “Ai bước vào Mật nghị như là giáo hoàng, thì trở ra vẫn sẽ là hồng y”. Tức là những ứng viên mà nhiều người đặt hy vọng nhất sẽ không trở thành giáo hoàng. Đối với các hồng y bước vào Mật nghị để làm việc của Chúa Thánh Thần !
Laikapstākļi aiz loga gan nav pārāk vasarīgi, bet Valsts Meža dienests izsludinājis ikgadējo ugunsnedrošo periodu mežos. Parasti tā sākas maija pirmajā pusē, šogad - 1. maijā. Pagaidām gan laikapstākļi gādā par mitrumu un vēsumu, bet drīz tas mainīsies un tad vadību brīdināšanā par bīstamiem apstākļiem pārņems Latvijas Vides, ģeoloģijas un meteoroloģijas centrs, kas seko līdzi, kā laikapstākļi maina mežu aizdegšanās risku. No vienas puses varētu šķist vienkārši – laiks sauss, ugunsbīstamība liela, laiks mitrs, ugunsbīstamība maza, tomēr ir mazliet sarežģītāk. Kā zināms, laikapstākļu kombinācijas vasaras gaitā ir dažādas, reģionāli atšķirīgas un tas, kā mums šķiet vai kādas mums ir sajūtas – ir mitrs vai sauss, krietni atšķiras no tā, cik labi degošs ir mežs. Jau vairākus gadus mūsu meteorologi izmanto pasaulē par labāko un plašāk lietoto metodiku – kanādiešu izstrādātu uguns bīstamības indeksu, ko latviski saīsina UBI. Tas ir samērā sarežģīts algoritms, kurā kā galvenie laikapstākļu elementi, protams, ir temperatūra, nokrišņu daudzums, gaisa mitrums un vēja ātrums. Ja sākotnēji var šķist, ka nokrišņi un temperatūra varētu būt svarīgākie faktori, vasarai ieskrienoties, izrādās, ka gaisa mitrums un vējš ir būtiskāki. Kad mežs jau ir izsilis un pažuvis, izrādās, pat viens krietnāks lietus ugunsbīstamību samazina īslaicīgi un dažkārt pat nebūtiski, jo liela daļa ūdens paliek koku vainagos – lapās un skujās, no kurienes ātri iztvaiko. Nākamā daļa paliek zemsedzē – uz mētrājiem, nobirām, kur arī pēc tam ātri iztvaiko, tāpēc jau pēc vienas divām dienām visa zemsedze un nobira – mizas, nokaltušie, sakritušie koku zari, vecās lapas, atkal ir viegli uzliesmojoši. Latvijas Vides, ģeoloģijas un meteoroloģijas centra vēsturiskie dati rāda, ka, piemēram, Rīgā un tās apkārtnē tādu dienu skaits, kad ugunsbīstamības indekss ir vismaz vidēji augsts, ir pieaudzis no vidēji 48 dienām gadā 90. gados līdz vidēji 59 dienām pēdējā desmitgadē. Tiesa, lielu artavu devis 2018. gads, kas bija ļoti sauss, un toreiz arī bija pēdējās desmitgadēs plašākie mežu ugunsgrēki, tostarp Talsu novada Stiklu purvā, kur nācās evakuēt pat vietējos iedzīvotājus. Taču uzreiz var teikt, ka salīdzinājumā ar citām Eiropas valstīm, piemēram, rietumos un dienvidos, pie mums joprojām ir relatīvi laba situācija mežiem, jo ekstrēmi augsts ugunsbīstamības indekss joprojām ir ārkārtīgi reta parādība un Rīgas reģionā aizvadīto vairāk nekā 30 gadu laikā ir bijusi tikai viena šāda diena 2018. gadā. Pat zemākas pakāpes – ļoti augsta ugunsbīstamība – nav pat katru gadu. Tā ir bijusi izsludināta reizi dažos gados un gadā tādas bijušas viena vai divas dienas. Bet runājot par aukstuma vilni, kas šobrīd skāris ne tikai Latviju, bet pie mums varētu turpināties līdz maija vidum, Toms Bricis atzīst, ka tas atstās iespaidu uz gada vidējo temperatūru kopumā.

It's not a new idea, but more and more cities and jurisdictions are giving it a try: Universal Basic Income, or UBI. The concept is that everyone is guaranteed a minimum amount of money, typically perhaps $500 a month, to help them meet their basic needs. In some places, only those below a designated economic threshold get the money. It was famously pioneered in Stockton in 2019, and one of the latest to give it a trial run was Oakland, where philanthropic organizations teamed up to give 600 families $500 a month for a year and a half. That pilot project is over now, and the results of how it worked are in. For more, KCBS Political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with Jesus Gerena, CEO of UpTogether, an organization founded in Oakland that partnered with Oakland Thrives to create and fund this program.

For today's episode, host Josh Sidman is joined by Teun van Sambeek. Our conversation took place, and was recorded in, April of 2025.Mr. Van Sambeek is an IT professional and entrepreneur. After founding multiple companies, he decided to move to Africa to begin building affordable housing. This led to the founding of Bentoniq, a real estate development company that mass produces affordable housing in Sub-Saharan Africa. Teun is also the founder of the 1coinH system, an alternative monetary system. He received two master's: one in real estate development from the University of Amsterdam and the other in Construction Engineering Technologies from the Eindhoven University of Technology. Mr van Sambeek joined Economy 2.0 to discuss the security and privacy of blockchain technology; how alternative monetary systems can avoid inflation via money printing; and how his monetary system can replicate UBI without spiking inflation.

The study, which focused on younger adults age 21 to 40 revealed significant improvements in job satisfaction, career mobility, and overall well-being among participants. It also highlighted the positive impact of basic income on financial behavior, with recipients saving more and demonstrating increased generosity. The discussion emphasizes the importance of financial security in fostering personal growth and community engagement. The discussion then moves on to other recent news including Jeff Atwood pledging $50 million of his wealth for three big rural basic income pilots.German UBI pilot findings with charts:https://www.pilotprojekt-grundeinkommen.de/en-See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/scottsantens.com/post/3lckzcleo7s24See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on X: https://x.com/scottsantens/status/1766213155967955332For more info about UBI, please refer to my UBI FAQ: http://scottsantens.com/basic-income-faqDonate to the Income To Support All Foundation to support UBI projects:https://www.itsafoundation.orgSubscribe to the ITSA Newsletter for monthly UBI news:https://itsanewsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribeVisit Basic Income Today for daily UBI news:https://basicincometoday.comSign up for the Comingle waitlist for voluntary UBI:https://www.comingle.us-Follow Scott:https://linktr.ee/scottsantensFollow Conrad:https://bsky.app/profile/theubiguy.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/conradshaw/Follow Josh:https://bsky.app/profile/misterjworth.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshworth/-Special thanks to: Gisele Huff, Haroon Mokhtarzada, Steven Grimm, Judith Bliss, Lowell Aronoff, Jessica Chew, Katie Moussouris, David Ruark, Tricia Garrett, A.W.R., Daryl Smith, Larry Cohen, Philip Rosedale, Liya Brook, Frederick Weber, John Steinberger, Laurel gillespie, Dylan Hirsch-Shell, Tom Cooper, Robert Collins, Joanna Zarach, Mgmguy, Daragh Ward, Albert Wenger, Andrew Yang, Peter T Knight, Michael Finney, David Ihnen, Steve Roth, Miki Phagan, Walter Schaerer, Albert Daniel Brockman, Natalie Foster, Joe Ballou, Arjun , S, Jocelyn Hockings, Mark Donovan, Jason Clark, Chuck Cordes, Mark Broadgate, Leslie Kausch, Braden Ferrin , Juro Antal, Austin Begin, Deanna McHugh, Stephen Castro-Starkey, Nikolaus Rath, and all my other patrons for their support.If you'd like to see your name here in future video descriptions, you can do so by becoming a patron on Patreon at the UBI Producer level or above.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottsantens/membership
Sierra Nevada montaña y Guillermo Abio, in memoriam. Por Sergio Mayayo para Radio Trail. https://go.ivoox.com/rf/145279542Esta semana invernal nos ha traído la cara y la cruz de nuestro mundillo como pocas veces. De los placeres disfrutando las carreras de montaña, esquí, alpinismo o ciclismo de montaña a los sustos como los 19 chavales de Barcelona rescatados en Sierra Nevada o la tragedia de la muerta de Guillermo Abio apenas a 200m del Refugio del Meicín en la parte asturiana del Macizo de Ubiña Repasamos aquí con Mayayo ambas caras: La luz de una Sierra Nevada invernal espléndida donde pudimos gozar ascendiendo al Pico Veleta primero con esquí de travesía y despues con bota y crampón, dos estilos distintos cada uno con su propio encanto y dificultad. Tambien de las carreras de montaña que surcan sus valles, recorriendo rutas trail running en Guejar - Sierra, en Lanjarón y en Puente Genil cuyas guías completas podeis encontrar ya en nuestra web para disfrutar de ellas cualquier día del año, con familia y amigos. Finalmente, la cruz de este mundillo se cebó con Guillermo Abio, un joven de Elche que con 28 años y tras coronar ese mismo Pico Veleta invernal el pasado 23FEB encontraba la muerte por un desgraciado accidente mientras vivaqueaba a 200m del Refugio del Meicin, en Asturias, donde pensaba pernoctar en ruta a la cima de la vecina Peña Ubiña. Cara y Cruz de la Montaña: La misma que todo nos da; todo nos puede quitar en un momento.

While many are excusing this latest move as "not a big deal," it opens the door wide for digital IDs which ironically the same side shrugging off Real IDs are usually against. This is the World Economic Forum Great Reset agenda and it's incredible that most don't see it. First proposed in 2005 as a provision for the Patriot Act in order to "crack down on terrorism" while increasing surveillance, it was pushed forward again in 2018 with the deadline being announced as October 21st, 2021. Signs were plastered over airports as they simultaneously brought in facial recognition scanners to replace passports. Now that they're bringing it in on May 7th, it's important to break down why it matters. As Ron Paul and Thomas Massie warn, this is the intro to the digital ID system. It is not voluntary as you will be restricted from plane, train and bus travel if you don't obey. Interestingly, the left side of the paradigm has been pushing for a ban on travel utilizing digital IDs as well. Short haul flights are banned in France. The UK is bringing in a ban on flights by 2029 under the guise of "Net Zero" laws. Kristi Noem who wants to ban you from criticizing Israel and have you deported announced the implementation via the TSA, the criminal enterprise that employs sex offenders to grope children. Meanwhile, the digital ID is going forward in Scotland as well as the EU digital ID. Simultaneously, the EU is releasing their CBDC Digital Euro by October at the latest. The UK is releasing theirs by December. This is not a coincidence. The UK is also pushing forward biometrics for migration after importing the migrants in the first place and yes, of course the United States is as well. Not to mention, Trump has SpaceX and murderous Palantir competing for contracts on his Iron Dome surveillance missile system. This is a fast slippery slope into total international technocracy as they enslave you to a system of control with social credits, carbon credits and rations. The people who would usually shout from mountain tops about these initiatives are sitting on their hands because it's happening through Trump. The same guy who just pledged 500 billion to AI as Elon Musk pushes forward a digital ID system through XAI which he just sold X to for 33 billion dollars. As he registers X as a bank, uses social credit on the algorithm to hide or promote content, puts chips on people's brains attached to a Pentagon funded mesh network and promotes UBI and carbon taxes.

In this episode, we're bringing back Nick Naraghi (nintynick), co-founder and CEO of Hats Protocol, to discuss the evolution of DAOs and AI since his last appearance in October 2022 (https://youtu.be/ggas_uCEeQs). We talk about how AI can impact DAOs beyond cost reduction and what a future where everyone has their own AI agent would look like. Nick also shares insights on the development of Hats Protocol, the launch of Hats Pro, and discusses philosophical questions from the community on the human to AI relationship. ⏳ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 01:52 Reflections on past predictions 04:23 How AI lowers coordination costs 06:37 AI agents and organizational dynamics 11:21 The future of work and AI 15:17 Economic evolution and UBI 18:22 AI coordination tools in DAOs 29:06 Hats Protocol updates 39:41 AI x crypto 44:47 Questions from the community 52:53 Nick's personal life philosophies 56:11 Follow Nick

1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.Post haec autem ambulabat Jesus in Galilaeam : non enim volebat in Judaeam ambulare, quia quaerebant eum Judaei interficere. 2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.Erat autem in proximo dies festus Judaeorum, Scenopegia. 3 And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.Dixerunt autem ad eum fratres ejus : Transi hinc, et vade in Judaeam, ut et discipuli tui videant opera tua, quae facis. 4 For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.Nemo quippe in occulto quid facit, et quaerit ipse in palam esse : si haec facis, manifesta teipsum mundo. 5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.Neque enim fratres ejus credebant in eum. 6 Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.Dicit ergo eis Jesus : Tempus meum nondum advenit : tempus autem vestrum semper est paratum. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.Non potest mundus odisse vos : me autem odit, quia ego testimonium perhibeo de illo quod opera ejus mala sunt. 8 Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.Vos ascendite ad diem festum hunc, ego autem non ascendo ad diem festum istum : quia meum tempus nondum impletum est. 9 When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.Haec cum dixisset, ipse mansit in Galilaea. 10 But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.Ut autem ascenderunt fratres ejus, tunc et ipse ascendit ad diem festum non manifeste, sed quasi in occulto. 11 The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?Judaei ergo quaerebant eum in die festo, et dicebant : Ubi est ille? 12 And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.Et murmur multum erat in turba de eo. Quidam enim dicebant : Quia bonus est. Alii autem dicebant : Non, sed seducit turbas. 13 Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.Nemo tamen palam loquebatur de illo propter metum Judaeorum.

12 Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.Iterum ergo locutus est eis Jesus, dicens : Ego sum lux mundi : qui sequitur me, non ambulat in tenebris, sed habebit lumen vitae. 13 The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.Dixerunt ergo ei pharisaei : Tu de teipso testimonium perhibes; testimonium tuum non est verum. 14 Jesus answered, and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I come, or whither I go.Respondit Jesus, et dixit eis : Et si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, verum est testimonium meum : quia scio unde veni et quo vado; vos autem nescitis unde venio aut quo vado. 15 You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.Vos secundum carnem judicatis : ego non judico quemquam; 16 And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.et si judico ego, judicium meum verum est, quia solus non sum : sed ego et qui misit me, Pater. 17 And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.Et in lege vestra scriptum est, quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est. 18 I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.Ego sum qui testimonium perhibeo de meipso, et testimonium perhibet de me qui misit me, Pater. 19 They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.Dicebant ergo ei : Ubi est Pater tuus? Respondit Jesus : Neque me scitis, neque Patrem meum : si me sciretis, forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis. 20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.Haec verba locutus est Jesus in gazophylacio, docens in templo : et nemo apprehendit eum, quia necdum venerat hora ejus.

In today's Daily Fix:The Legend of Zelda movie finally has a release date: March 26th, 2027. For such an anticipated project, Nintendo chose the most low-key way of announcing the date: via their new Nintendo Today news app. They did just have a Nintendo Direct yesterday, which did not contain any mention of the movie, and they also have a Switch 2-focused Direct next week; both of those would have more obvious options to drop the news. Elsewhere in games, Ubisoft and Tencent have formed a new subsidiary company that will handle some of Ubi's big IPs like Far Cry, Rainbow Six, and Assassin's Creed. And finally, new Sims challenger InZOI is still in early access, and players have already found a bug that will let you run over children with a car. Yes, it's already patched.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is out, and we've got IGN's reviewer - friend of the show Jarrett Green - on to talk about Ubi's massive open-world shinobi-and-samurai adventure in feudal Japan! But first, we'll use this as an opportunity to talk about five other games made by western developers, but set in Japan. Once all that's done, we'll talk about the internet's reaction to Karl Urban's Johnny Cage, the SNES mysteriously getting faster with age, and your long-standing gaming regrets. Question of the Week: Inspired by the Suikoden remaster, what's a game name you've habitually mispronounced, either by mistake or (for comedy's sake) on purpose? Were you ever embarrassingly corrected? Tell us about it. Break song is We're the River City Girls by Megan McDuffee. Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.

Article d'opinion Java coming for AI https://thenewstack.io/2025-is-the-last-year-of-python-dominance-in-ai-java-comin/ 2025 pourrait être la dernière année où Python domine l'IA. Java devient un concurrent sérieux dans le domaine. En 2024, Python était toujours en tête, Java restait fort en entreprise, et Rust gagnait en popularité. Java est de plus en plus utilisé pour l'AI remettant en cause la suprématie de Python. article vient de javaistes la domination de python est cluturelle et plus technique (enfin pour les ML lib c'est encore technique) projets paname et babylon changent la donne JavaML est populaire L'almanach java sur les versions https://javaalmanac.io/ montre kes APIs et les diff entre versions puis les notes ou la spec java Les nouvelles de JDK 24 et du futur 25 https://www.infoq.com/news/2025/02/java-24-so-far/?utm_campaign=infoq_content&utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=feed&utm_term=global JDK 24 a atteint sa première phase de release candidate et sera officiellement publié le 18 mars 2025. 24 nouvelles fonctionnalités (JEPs) réparties en 5 catégories : Core Java Library (7), Java Language Specification (4), Security Library (4), HotSpot (8) et Java Tools (1). Project Amber : JEP 495 “Simple Source Files and Instance Main Methods” en quatrième preview, visant à simplifier l'écriture des premiers programmes Java pour les débutants. Project Loom : JEP 487 “Scoped Values” en quatrième preview, permettant le partage de données immuables entre threads, particulièrement utile avec les virtual threads. Project Panama : JEP 489 “Vector API” en neuvième incubation, continuera d'incuber jusqu'à ce que les fonctionnalités nécessaires de Project Valhalla soient disponibles. Project Leyden : JEP 483 “Ahead-of-Time Class Loading & Linking” pour améliorer le temps de démarrage en rendant les classes d'une application instantanément disponibles au démarrage de la JVM. Sécurité quantique : Deux JEPs (496 et 497) introduisant des algorithmes résistants aux ordinateurs quantiques pour la cryptographie, basés sur les réseaux modulaires. Sécurité renforcée : JEP 486 propose de désactiver définitivement le Security Manager, tandis que JEP 478 introduit une API de dérivation de clés. Optimisations HotSpot : JEP 450 “Compact Object Headers” (expérimental) pour réduire la taille des en-têtes d'objets de 96-128 bits à 64 bits sur les architectures 64 bits. (a ne aps utiliser en prod!) Améliorations GC : JEP 404 “Generational Shenandoah” (expérimental) introduit un mode générationnel pour le Garbage Collector Shenandoah, tout en gardant le non generationel. Évolution des ports : Windows 32-bit x86 ca sent le sapin JEP 502 dans JDK 25 : Introduction des “Stable Values” (preview), anciennement “Computed Constants”, offrant les avantages des champs final avec plus de flexibilité pour l'initialisation. Points Supplémentaires sur JDK 25 Date de sortie : JDK 25 est prévu pour septembre 2025 et représentera la prochaine version LTS (Long-Term Support) après JDK 21. Finalisation de l'on-ramp : Gavin Bierman a annoncé son intention de finaliser la fonction “Simple Source Files” dans JDK 25, après quatre previews successives. CDS Object Streaming : Le JEP Draft 8326035 propose d'ajouter un mécanisme d'archivage d'objets pour Class-Data Sharing (CDS) dans ZGC, avec un format d'archivage et un chargeur unifiés. HTTP/3 supporté dans HttpClient Un article sur l'approche de Go pour éviter les attaques par chemin de fichier https://go.dev/blog/osroot Librairies Quarkus 3.19 es sorti https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-3-19-1-released/ UBI 9 par defaut pour les containers En plus de AppCDS, support tu cache AOT (JEP 483) pour demarrer encore plus rapidement Preuve de possession dans OAuth tokers 2 Mario Fusco sur les patterns d'agents en Quarkus https://quarkus.io/blog/agentic-ai-with-quarkus/ et https://quarkus.io/blog/agentic-ai-with-quarkus-p2/ premier article sur les patterns de workflow chainer, paralleliser ou router avec des exemples de code qui tournent les agents a proprement parler (le LLM qui decide du workflow) les agents ont des toolbox que le LLM peut decided d'invoquer Le code va dans les details et permet de mettre les interactions en lumiere tracing rend les choses visuelles Web Le European Accessibility Act (EAA) https://martijnhols.nl/blog/the-european-accessibility-act-for-websites-and-apps Loi européenne sur l'accessibilité (EAA) adoptée en 2019 Vise à rendre sites web et apps accessibles aux personnes handicapées Suivre les normes WCAG 2.1 AA (clarté, utilisabilité, compatibilité) Entreprises concernées : banques, e-commerce, transports, etc. Date limite de mise en conformité : 28 juin 2025 2025 c'est pour les nouveaux developpements 2027 c'est pour les applications existantes. bon et je fais comment pour savoir si le site web des cast codeurs est conforme ?

Data et Intelligence Artificielle Traffic des sites web venant de IA https://ahrefs.com/blog/ai-traffic-study/ le AIEO apres le SEO va devenir un gros business vu que les modèles ont tendance a avoir leurs chouchous techniques ou de reference. 63% des sites ont au moins un referal viennent d'une IA 50% ChatGPT, puis plrplexity et enfin Gemini, bah et LeChat alors? 0,17% du traffic des sites vient de l'IA. Et en meme temps l'AI resume plutot que pointe donc c'est logique Granite 3.2 est sorti https://www.infoq.com/news/2025/03/ibm-granite-3-2/ IBM sort Granite 3.2, un modèle IA avancé. Meilleur raisonnement et nouvelles capacités multimodales. Granite Vision 3.2 excelle en compréhension d'images et de documents. Granite Guardian 3.2 détecte les risques dans les réponses IA. Modèles plus petits et efficaces pour divers usages. Améliorations en raisonnement mathématique et prévisions temporelles. les trucs interessants de Granite c'est sa petite taille et son cote “vraiment” open source Prompt Engineering - article détaillé https://www.infoq.com/articles/prompt-engineering/ Le prompt engineering, c'est l'art de bien formuler les instructions pour guider l'IA. Accessible à tous, il ne remplace pas la programmation mais la complète. Techniques clés : few-shot learning, chain-of-thought, tree-of-thought. Avantages : flexibilité, rapidité, meilleure interaction avec l'IA. Limites : manque de précision et dépendance aux modèles existants.

It's clear that there is and was a massive amount of money laundering happening, but where was the money really sent? Similarly, in the technocratic, tyrannical march towards Net Zero, The World Bank is facing pressure to explain why 31 billion pounds in climate funds have gone missing. It's all one big mocking ritual against humanity as we approach 2030. They're pushing for airports in the UK to be closed by 2029 by law due to the Net Zero regulations. They're going after private property and of course the food supply in many ways, starting with farmers but also with "Bird Flu." It's the Great Reset. It's the World Economic Forum agenda! And if you think Trump will stop it in the United States, all roads lead to Rome. Elon Musk is calling for Trudeau style carbon taxes as well as replacing most jobs with AI and utilizing "Guaranteed Basic Income" or "UBI" to keep people at home. Or as Yuval Noah Harari said, he dreams of people being "placated on drugs playing video games." New biometric rules are coming in for migrants, internet IDs are being pushed by both sides, the United Nations Pact For The Future was signed off on by 193 countries in September which means carbon credits, digital IDs, CBDCs, bank accounts being restricted based on what you say or believe and full steam ahead for "Net Zero" and 15 Minute Cities. Good thing there are countless solutions to this problem. If you're willing to throw off the shackles of "convenience" and be an independent, free human being living by example.

16 And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.Cum autem jejunatis, nolite fieri sicut hypocritae, tristes. Exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus jejunantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam. 17 But thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face;Tu autem, cum jejunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava, 18 That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee.ne videaris hominibus jejunans, sed Patri tuo, qui est in abscondito : et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi. 19 Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal.Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra : ubi aerugo, et tinea demolitur : et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur. 20 But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in caelo, ubi neque aerugo, neque tinea demolitur, et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur. 21 For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.
Send us a textWhat is Universal Basic Income (UBI) and why is it so popular among economists and freedom lovers relative to other types of poverty policy solutions? What does it even mean to “solve a problem” or to “learn” in the social sciences? Join us today to explore the answers to these two questions and many more. Today, I am excited to welcome on Peter Van Doren to talk about the history of poverty policy and policy debates and the reality about universal basic income. We talk about some pretty conclusive economic studies which highlight the effect of UBI type policies and what to make of them!

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Jason Nadaf, CEO and founder of SureDone, about the evolving landscape of e-commerce, automation, and the role of AI in shaping the future of online sales. They explore how multi-channel selling has transformed over the years, the inefficiencies of big tech in commerce, and the philosophical implications of accelerationism and capitalism's efficiency. Jason shares his personal journey in building SureDone, lessons from scaling businesses, and insights into the intersection of technology and human behavior. For more on Jason's work, visit his site at SureDone.com or connect with him on Linkedin.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:13 Jason Nadaf's Vision for Sure Done01:31 The Evolution of E-commerce03:06 Building Multi-Channel Solutions07:00 Challenges in E-commerce Automation11:05 The Role of AI in E-commerce13:51 Accelerationism and Capitalism18:36 The Myth of 'Build It and They Will Come'19:01 Learning from Failed Playbooks19:58 The Role of Bureaucracy and Incentives20:57 Humanistic Energy and Potential25:14 Exploring Neurodivergence and Normies28:53 The Future of Simulation and Modeling31:12 Balancing Stress and Happiness33:42 Final Thoughts on E-commerce and Human DesireKey InsightsThe Future of E-Commerce Lies in Automation and AI – Jason Nadaf discusses how automation has already transformed e-commerce by reducing manual work, streamlining listings, and optimizing multi-channel selling. AI is the next frontier, enabling sellers to create more compelling product descriptions, analyze customer behavior, and predict trends. However, AI still struggles with generating accurate product data from raw materials, requiring human oversight.Big Tech Often Miscalculates Market Adoption – Large corporations tend to assume that building a new platform or marketplace automatically attracts users. Jason shares how two of the world's biggest tech companies underestimated the effort required to onboard sellers and drive traction, leading to delays in adoption. Success in e-commerce requires a deep understanding of seller needs, rather than relying solely on brand recognition or market dominance.Capitalism is Not as Efficient as It Could Be – While capitalism drives innovation, Jason argues that it often misallocates resources. Talent and potential don't always correlate with opportunity, meaning that some of the most innovative minds never get the funding or support they need. Bureaucracy within large corporations further slows down decision-making and stifles innovation.Diversification is Essential for Long-Term Success – Many sellers rely too heavily on a single platform, such as Amazon, without realizing how vulnerable they are to policy changes or algorithm updates. Jason emphasizes the importance of spreading risk across multiple marketplaces, search engines, and social platforms to ensure resilience against sudden disruptions.The Acceleration of Technology Will Reshape Commerce – The concept of accelerationism, which suggests that technological progress is rapidly compounding, is particularly relevant to e-commerce. AI, automation, and digital tools are evolving faster than ever, potentially leading to a future where single-person companies can rival large enterprises in efficiency and revenue.Human Intent in Commerce is Complex and Non-Uniform – A major takeaway from Jason's experience in e-commerce is that consumer intent varies widely across cultures, platforms, and product categories. A successful sales strategy on Amazon might not work on Instagram or TikTok. Understanding these nuances is key to crafting effective product listings, advertisements, and pricing models.Stress and Uncertainty Are Inevitable, But Perspective Matters – As the digital landscape evolves unpredictably, many entrepreneurs and professionals experience stress about the future. Jason suggests that while predicting the future is nearly impossible, adaptability and maintaining a clear perspective can help individuals and businesses thrive. Rather than being paralyzed by uncertainty, focusing on actionable strategies and innovation is the best way forward.

Canadian Member of Parliament Leah Gazan (New Democratic Party, Manitoba) joins Fredrik and Leilani to explore how nations and individuals can stand firm against authoritarianism without succumbing to despair. Drawing from her family's experience with genocide across two continents, Gazan offers insights into transforming collective anxiety into meaningful action and leadership. Leah reminds us that in times of great challenge, we have a choice: to give in to pessimism or to use this moment to advance human rights and dignity. A timely discussion about finding courage in community and remembering that history's darkest hours have often preceded its most profound transformations.Learn more about Leah's work here.Support the show

From there we get into some of the disinformation about the results of the Compton Guaranteed Basic Income Pilot. No it didn't lead to increased menthol cigarette smoking and soda drinking. From there we go into how the UK is looking to go hard on AI with no mention of UBI, and how the race for a new leader of the Liberal Party in Canada has uplifted Mark Carney who has been talking a lot about the negative impacts of AI and the need for strong social supports like UBI. We continue our discussion with more recent automation headlines and end with a fascinating new study that highlights how impactful UBI will be for health by reducing diseases of poverty like tuberculosis.-See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/scottsantens.com/post/3lckzcleo7s24See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on X: https://x.com/scottsantens/status/1766213155967955332For more info about UBI, please refer to my UBI FAQ: http://scottsantens.com/basic-income-faqDonate to the Income To Support All Foundation to support UBI projects:https://www.itsafoundation.orgSubscribe to the ITSA Newsletter for monthly UBI news:https://itsanewsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribeVisit Basic Income Today for daily UBI news:https://basicincometoday.comSign up for the Comingle waitlist for voluntary UBI:https://www.comingle.us-Follow Scott:https://linktr.ee/scottsantensFollow Conrad:https://bsky.app/profile/theubiguy.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/conradshaw/Follow Josh:https://bsky.app/profile/misterjworth.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshworth/-Special thanks to: Gisele Huff, Haroon Mokhtarzada, Steven Grimm, Judith Bliss, Lowell Aronoff, Jessica Chew, Katie Moussouris, David Ruark, Tricia Garrett, Zack Sargent, A.W.R., Daryl Smith, Larry Cohen, Philip Rosedale, Liya Brook, Frederick Weber, John Steinberger, Bridget I Flynn, Laurel gillespie, Dylan Hirsch-Shell, Tom Cooper, Robert Collins, Joanna Zarach, Mgmguy, Daragh Ward, Albert Wenger, Andrew Yang, Peter T Knight, Michael Finney, David Ihnen, Miki Phagan, Albert Daniel Brockman, Natalie Foster, Joe Ballou, Arjun , Christopher Wroth, S, Jocelyn Hockings, Mark Donovan, Capitalists for Shared Income, Jason Clark, Chuck Cordes, Mark Broadgate, Leslie Kausch, Braden Ferrin , Juro Antal, Austin Begin, Deanna McHugh, Nikolaus Rath,, Laura Ashby, and all my other patrons for their support.If you'd like to see your name here in future video descriptions, you can do so by becoming a patron on Patreon at the UBI Producer level.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottsantens/membership

We deep dive into some of the deeper implications to what we are observing in the rapidly expanding AI ecosystem. It is clear that the majority of market interest is beginning to gravitate toward AI agents and discovering new verticals of application and use within the context of the web3 economy. We ponder what the end results of this will look like as it will expand the participation pool beyond the capacity to attract retail eyeballs and capital into the market. With Agents having deep contextual awareness of how to custody their own assets and how to engage with protocols in order to increase their own internal wealth, this will effectively accelerate all future market cycles by many orders of magnitude. However much of a break through this is for the crypto markets, there is a deeper story overall to the existential realities of a physical and digital economy that are both dominated by AI agents and automation technologies, effectively making humans obsolete and void of purpose within the market economy. We ponder some of the already proposed solutions to this such as UBI's that are directed toward sustaining human needs in a world where everything is in abundance. Perhaps a complete revamp of our value systems are what is needed, and an even more concerning potential to the entire AI race is the complete removal from human involvement in a future economy completely dominated by the AI Agents we are deploying and refining today.

This Halloween, we're digging into one of the scariest policy proposals haunting Oregon: Universal Basic Income (UBI). Guest host Andy Hooser and AFP's Western Regional State Director Heather Andrews discuss the terrifying reality behind Oregon's UBI measure, which would impose a 3% gross receipts tax on businesses. With impacts that could drive up the cost of essentials, cut local jobs, and make life even harder for working families, this proposal is no treat—it's a trick with lasting consequences. This episode explores how the UBI plan threatens the future of Oregon's economy and why residents should be frightened of its chilling effects on businesses and consumers alike. Don't miss this special Halloween episode, where we expose the true horrors hidden in Oregon's UBI proposal and the economic hauntings it could unleash.
