Im Budongo-Wald in Uganda haben Forscher etwas Ungewöhnliches beobachtet: Schimpansen, die Fledermausguano futtern. Warum sie das tun und was das mit der Tabakindustrie und der Gefahr einer Pandemie zu tun hat, darüber spricht das Team mit dem Historiker und Journalisten Mark Honigsbaum. Er hat daraus ein Szenario entwickelt, mit dem er auch die Gefahr der US-Kürzungen in Forschung und Entwicklungshilfe verdeutlichen möchte.

In this episode of Generation AI, hosts JC Bonilla and Ardis Kadiu discuss recent significant AI developments across education, entertainment, and technology. They analyze President Trump's executive order on AI education for K-12 schools, which challenges the "cheating narrative" and aims to promote AI literacy. They also examine the Academy Awards' decision to accept AI-assisted films for consideration. The hosts then dive deep into OpenAI's new O3 model, exploring how its multimodal reasoning capabilities allow it to process text, images, and code in unified ways that mimic human thinking. The episode highlights practical applications for marketing, data analysis, and higher education enrollment strategies.Introduction and News Updates (00:00:00)Welcome to the Generation AI podcast focused on higher educationIntroduction of hosts JC Bonilla and Ardis KadiuOverview of the episode's main topics: executive order on AI education, Oscars' AI acceptance, and OpenAI's O3 modelExecutive Order on AI Education (00:03:04)President Trump signed an executive order on April 23rd promoting AI education for youthThe order creates a White House task force to oversee federal funding for AI literacyDiscussion on how this challenges the current trend of banning AI in 60% of US schoolsArdis shares personal experience of his children being afraid to use AI for educational purposesThe order aims to remove the "AI equals bad" mental block in studentsGlobal Competitiveness in AI Education (00:07:24)Debate on whether the US K-12 education system is globally competitiveDiscussion of inconsistencies in education quality across districts and statesComparison to other countries where students are actively building AI skillsNeed for improved AI literacy to maintain competitive advantageThe Academy Awards' AI Decision (00:08:56)The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has updated rules for the 98th OscarsFilms using generative AI tools are now eligible for awardsThe use of AI will neither help nor harm a film's chances of nominationHuman-driven artistry will remain the priority in judgingDiscussion of the film "The Brutalist" which used AI for accent enhancementSignificance of this as validation for AI in creative fieldsUpdates on Frontier AI Models (00:13:42)Brief mention of recent model releases from Google and GrokFocus on OpenAI's O3 as a "multimodal marvel" for reasoningThe race of AI development continues with focus on scalable agentsDiscussion of naming conventions for OpenAI modelsOpenAI's O3 Model Capabilities (00:16:20)O3 represents a departure from conversational chatbots toward visual thinkingThe model excels at coding, math, science, and visual reasoningIt processes text, images, and code in a unified reasoning frameworkVisual thinking capabilities comparable to human thinking processesDiscussion of performance improvements and acceleration in model capabilitiesThe companion O4 Mini model for lightweight real-time applicationsTesting O3 vs Other Models (00:25:28)JC and Ardis compare experiences using different OpenAI modelsComparison between O3 and GPT-4o outputs for the same promptO3's tendency to use tables and structured formats for certain outputsArdis recommends using O3 for coding, PDF analysis, and creative feedbackPractical Applications of O3 (00:30:34)Content creation capabilities for ad copy generationCampaign visual analysis through multimodal reasoningData analysis improvements for marketing datasetsBetter handling of unstructured tasks in higher educationStrategic data-driven approaches to enrollment managementDemo of creating visual ads with iterative refinements in minutesExample of financial analysis from complex spreadsheetsChatGPT Memory Feature Update (00:40:37)New feature allowing ChatGPT to use prior conversations as contextBenefits of the system remembering previous interactionsHow this enables personalization of AI responsesImpact on workflow efficiency and personalized assistanceConclusion (00:43:07)Final thoughts on AI integration into human activitiesClosing remarks and podcast network information - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Roblox – ein kreatives Spieleuniversum mit über 230 Millionen Nutzer:innen weltweit. Doch wie sicher ist die Plattform wirklich für Kinder? Seit Januar 2025 gilt eine neue Altersfreigabe: ab 16 Jahren. Warum wurde diese Grenze angehoben, und was bedeutet das für Eltern? In dieser Folge tauche ich tief in die Welt von Roblox ein und beleuchte: ✅ Die Faszination hinter Roblox – Warum lieben Kinder die Plattform so sehr? ✅ Lernpotenziale – Kann Roblox tatsächlich Kreativität und Programmierfähigkeiten fördern?

Diese Folge des Podcasts beschäftigt sich mit dem Dilemma, dass liebevolle Eltern ihre Kinder beschützen wollen und dabei sich bzw. ihren Kindern in der Krise im Wege stehen. Außerdem geht um Materialien für den Schulunterricht, Roblox ab 16 Jahren, Serienhaustiere bei TikTok und eine Idee der niedersächsischen Kultusministerin.

Das zweite Abenteuer beginnt in einem Außenposten der US-Küstenwache inmitten der Wüste vor der Küste Miamis, hunderte Kilometer vom Festland entfernt. Die Characters von Alba, Belit und Cobra sind diesmal Kadetten. Sie erhalten den Auftrag, dem Hilferuf einer Pilgergruppe nachzugehen, die in der Wüste verloren gegangen ist. Die Characters machen sich mit Quads auf die Suche durch eine unwirkliche Dünenlandschaft, wo nur Müllberge und Walskelette an die einstige Anwesenheit des Atlantiks erinnern. Schnell geraten sie in den Konflikt zwischen den beiden verfeindeten Gruppen der Wüste: dem Stamm der Japaner und dem Stamm der Händler. Miami Punk: The complete DLC Hörspiel-Spiel von Juan S.

Als ein Hurrikan durch den Golf von Mexiko auf die US-Küste zuraste, klangen die Warnungen eindringlich. Angesichts von Windgeschwindigkeiten von bis zu 240 km/h rief ein Beamter auf: „Bitte evakuieren. Wenn Sie aber bleiben und wir Sie nicht erreichen können, schreiben Sie Ihren Namen, Ihre Adresse und Ihre Angehörigen auf einen Zettel und stecken Sie ihn in eine wasserdichte Hülle in Ihre Tasche. Wir beten, dass es nicht so weit kommt.“ Die Rettungskräfte wussten, dass sie der Zerstörung nur noch hilflos zusehen konnten, sobald der Hurrikan auf Land traf.

These farmers lost around $1.72B in a single morning.It was all because of tit-for-tat import taxes.But what really happened and who were these farmers?It all started when Donald Trump walked into the White House in January 2017, promising to take on what he called “unfair trade” with China.March 2018, Trump slapped $50 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods, aiming straight at the heart of China's industrial ambitions—its "Made in China 2025" strategy. This marked the start of the trade war.April, 2018, Beijing hit where it hurt—Trump's voter base.It announced a 25% tariff on American soybeans, cars, and chemicals. And it wasn't just any random pick. China was the biggest buyer of U.S. soybeans, importing 60% of all U.S. exports.The markets reacted immediately and soybean prices went into free fall, erasing $1.72 billion in market value by morning.Farmers who relied on China as their primary buyer suddenly found themselves staring at massive losses.In this episode of The NEON Show, Matein Khalid, a seasoned financial advisor, shares his fascinating four-decade journey. Starting as a teenage trader in Dubai, he later advised corporate boards and family offices in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the US. Matein talks about global trade, geopolitics, and economic strategies, providing insights on the US-China trade war, Trump's economic policies, and shifting global power dynamics.Check out Matein's writings here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mateinkhalid/Timestamps00:00 – Trailer01:17 – Introduction02:38 – Matein's early trading and wealth management04:37 – Trump's unpredictability in geopolitics06:04 – Rise of China hawks in US policy07:40 – India's edge in US-China tensions09:50 – Starlink vs. Indian telecoms10:30 – US Steel and political influence12:51 – China's slowdown and unemployment19:02 – US K-shaped recovery and inequality21:46 – US debt crisis and risks26:41 – Adani controversy's geopolitical angle31:17 – Possible end to Russia-Ukraine war33:55 – Israel weakens Iran's air defense37:35 – Trump's isolationist policies41:02 – Trade and capital flows in forex42:39 – South Korea's political turmoil48:04 – Syria's proxy wars reignite52:04 – Modi's UAE visit boosts financial flows54:34 – India's entrepreneurial spirit------------Hi, I am your host Siddhartha! I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings.-------------Check us out on:Website: https://neon.fund/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theneonshoww/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beneon/Twitter: https://x.com/TheNeonShowwConnect with Siddhartha on:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siddharthaahluwalia/Twitter: https://x.com/siddharthaa7------This video is for informational purposes only.

In dieser Folge tauchen wir tief ein in die mysteriösen Drohnensichtungen an der US-Küste. Sind es geheime Militärprojekte, außerirdische Beobachter oder einfach nur jemand mit einem verdammt teuren Spielzeug? Wir wälzen die wildesten Theorien, diskutieren Expertenmeinungen und schmunzeln über die mediale Panikmache. Aber damit nicht genug: Wir fragen uns, ob Aliens wohl Weihnachten feiern – wenn es das bei denen überhaupt gibt. Gibt's da Geschenke? Fliegende Weihnachtsbäume? Oder ein intergalaktisches Fondue? Zum Abschluss werfen wir noch einen Blick auf unser Podcast-Jahr, eure grandiosen Einsendungen und ein paar ziemlich verrückte Highlights. Es wird spannend, witzig und garantiert ein bisschen durchgeknallt! ####################################### Auch wenn wir uns hin und wieder mit Verschwörungstheorien beschäftigen, möchten wir uns unmissverständlich von jeglicher rechter Ideologie distanzieren.

LEARNING RECOVERY - Schools continue to deal with the long-term effects of remote learning. Nearly a third of US K-12 students this school year are behind grade level, according to a recent survey from the School Pulse Panel. Nicole D'Antonio is live in Washington breaking down the report and what school districts across the country are doing to address learning recovery this school year.

Author Howard Lovy discusses the anti-Zionist education material currently widely taught in US K-12 schools. He calls for all hands on deck to turn this around. Reach out to him at www.HowardLovy.com

Hello, Neurospicy Krewe! Welcome back to another episode of The Perinatal Podcast. It's an honor and a privilege to have every one of y'all here with each week. Sarah Lovell of Executive Functioning First joins me to discuss a myriad of stumbling blocks and thinking patterns that impact your (and my!) day-to-day. We discuss being willing to pivot when things don't serve us, listening to our inner voices rather than making choices based on external expectations, the importance of naming emotions to be able to move onto the next step, and how to create a system to organize and manage our variable attention stimulus traits. We discussed all-or-nothing thinking and perfectionism that lead to procrastination, how the US K-12 school system setup leads some of us to think we're doing it all "wrong" when really, it's not set up for our neurofabulous brains, how we get stuck and how we navigate that, I mean, the list truly goes on!

Funie Hsu, Chenxing Han, and Duncan Ryūken Williams are the co-organizers of May We Gather, a collaborative project of commemorative healing, by and for Asian American Buddhists and their spiritual friends. What began in 2022 as a response to the uptick in violence and hate towards Asian Americans, has continued into 2024, as a second iteration of May We Gather, this time in the form of ritual memorial, and also as a precious and much needed space for gathering and community. In this interview, the three co-organizers share their reflections on the 2024 event. Watch the entire live stream recording of May We Gather 2024. Learn more about May We Gather. GUESTS:FUNIE HSU (she/they) is an Associate Professor of American studies at San Jose State University whose transdisciplinary research interests are shaped by their background as a former public elementary school teacher and a Taiwanese American heritage Buddhist from a working class, multilingual family. Look for their upcoming article in the Review of Education, Pedagogy and Cultural Studies which examines contemporary challenges to mindfulness in US K-12 public schools within the framework of White Christian nationalism, particularly with the perpetuation of positioning Asians and Buddhism as heathen, immoral, and a threat to the US. CHENXING HAN (she/her) is an author, educator, and speaker whose work explores the possibilities that emerge at the intersections of Buddhism, Asian America, spiritual care, and creative expression. She is the author of Be the Refuge: Raising the Voices of Asian American Buddhists and One Long Listening: A Memoir of Grief, Friendship, and Spiritual Care.

Je zal de mail maar krijgen: 'Sorry, tien procent van de mensen gaat eruit en jij bent één van de gelukkigen.' Dat is zo ongeveer wat Elon Musk schrijft aan medewerkers van Tesla. De automaker begon de prijzenslag in China om marktaandeel te veroveren, maar dat was niet genoeg. De Chinese export steeg vorig jaar met bijna zestig procent, Duitse automakers verkopen inmiddels ook elektrische auto's en Musk vecht om de marges intact te houden. Verder hebben we het over olie en het Midden-Oosten. Beleggers lijken hun schouders op te halen bij de grootschalige raketaanval van Iran op Israël. Voor degenen zonder scrupules zijn er nog defensiebedrijven, maar die zijn inmiddels ook flink prijzig op de beurs. Apple blijft even duur als altijd, maar wordt misschien wat goedkoper. De verkoop van iPhones in het eerste kwartaal viel tegen. De kwartaalcijfers laten nog even op zich wachten, maar een internationaal onderzoeksbureau zag dat de verkoop van het vlaggenschip van Apple met bijna 10% is gedaald. Het is weer tijd voor een grote beursgang in Amsterdam. Na Douglas wil ook de eigenaar naar de beurs. CVC Capital Partners, waar ook Lipton en de Formule 1 onder vallen, wordt maar liefst 15 miljard euro waard op de beurs. Wel is het nog even de vraag wie er meer verdient aan private equity: de belegger in het bedrijf, de belegger in de fondsen, of toch gewoon de baas. Goldman Sachs, toevallig één van de begeleiders van de beursgang van CVC, is weer helemaal terug. De zakenbankiers in de torens in New York zien het aantal deals weer stijgen en ook de handelsinkomsten droegen bij aan het beste kwartaal sinds 2021.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ihr klugen, interessierten Menschen! Heute gibt es Nachgeforscht einmal anders: Als Interview mit Lorenzo von Petersdorff, dem stellvertretenden Geschäftsführer der USK. Im Gespräch mit ihm gehen wir der Frage nach: Warum hat ein EA Sports FC trotz Lootboxen "nur" eine Freigabe ab 12? Auf der Suche nach der Antwort diskutieren wir über viele Facetten der Alterseinstufungen: Wieso finden sich in den Leitkriterien der USK keine erkennbaren Einflüsse aus der Suchtforschung? Warum sind die neuen Deskriptoren beim Thema Lootboxen aus unserer Sicht so uneindeutig? Welche Rolle spielen die so genannten Vorsorgemaßnahmen? Viel Spaß!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Dreams of "Mathopedia", published by NicholasKross on June 2, 2023 on LessWrong. In high school, I held up a pretty-decent-level calculus class because I was confused about something. Specifically that thing where you rotate a curve around some spatial axis (like sculpting pottery) and calculate the volume of the resulting enclosed 3D shape. I kept being confused, and the teacher (who was super nice and knowledgeable and good-at-teaching [1])... her explanations kept not-getting-through to my brain. "How do we know y=x^2's 'vase' volume? Wouldn't it be infinite since it's open at the top?" --> [explanation involving rotating around the Z-axis so it's like y=sqrt(x), or something idk] --> "But that doesn't seem very principled! What's the rule law for how to turn the shapes?" Then some other student in class said like 1-2 sentences, but the only key info I needed was the phrase "domain and range". Then I was like "oh, I get it completely now, thanks!" And then the class laughed/sighed/was somewhat exasperated. I developed a maybe-seemingly-trivial hypothesis, that if someone receives explanation E_1 of a concept C, and they're paying attention, and they still don't intuitively grok C, then they need at least one more different explanation E_2. An idea immediately came to mind: Could you teach someone any advanced math concept, by throwing every explanation at once at them? Could this work on anybody without more-straightforward mental disabilities? [2] So I've long had a back-of-my-mind idea, which I labeled "Mathopedia". This is not to be confused with any other existing math website that someone would find useful, including MathWorld, Khan Academy, MathOverflow, Wikipedia, Mathematics Stack Exchange, YouTube, Arbital, the OEIS, Metamath, Tricki, ProofWiki, nLab, Hypertextbook, and... uh... at least one literally called Mathopedia. Might need a new name then... The idea was simple: a math-learning tool that explains advanced uni/graduate/research-level mathematical concepts by gathering a huge number of explanations per concept, and putting them together in an extremely-multimodal (bordering on seizure-inducing) format. This led me to a few more trains of thought: A core "Mathopedia" website, a wiki where each concept gets a page. A page's subsections would go from more-intuitive/motivational/extensional-definition/multimedia/seizure explanations, to the more technical ones, ending with a ton of examples. In my head, this could involve a strong community of contributors. A few desktop-software ideas that, if useful, seem (to me) too-powerful to give to non-alignment-researchers. I am probably wildly overestimating the utility of relatively-simple non-ML-based desktop software that hasn't already been invented. Still, being careful. [Reading the Arbital Postmortem while shaking my head so other people know that I understand what went wrong there and how my "Mathopedia"" would do better.] [Reading Paul Lockhart while alternately nodding and shaking my head so I agree with his emphasis on open-ended learning but dislike how mathematics is taught in US K-12 schools (as elaborated in Lockhart's colorful examples/analogies).] [Just cross-referencing 3 textbooks, Googling, and asking Discord, like every other mathematician since the days of Pythagoras. If the resources work for everyone else, shouldn't they work for me?] I'm still not sure of whether a real "Mathopedia" is worth the effort to build, in some kinds of short-AI-timelines. (Here I'm wanting such a website/tool to mainly be of use for technical AI alignment research, though if it worked it would aid many causes). Then again, when some people entering the field still lack linear algebra on arrival, maybe it is worth it. Despite the clear emotional/self-serving/imposter-syndrome biases at play, I'm still legitimat...

Today marks the 100th episode of the LiberatED podcast, which I launched back in February 2022 as a once-a-week podcast, and boosted to a twice-weekly show last fall because there are just so many stories to tell of the entrepreneurial parents and educators who are transforming US K-12 education from the bottom up. In recognition of this milestone, I thought I would share a few reflections. Thank you so much for listening, sharing, and supporting this podcast! I am so grateful. Sign up for my free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at fee.org/liberated.

On this episode of Digital Marketing Master Podcast, Abby talks to Kevin Briody, CMO at Edmentum, about the company's mission to support the US K-12 education market. Discover how Briody's nonlinear career path has given him a unique perspective on marketing, which he applies to his role at Edmentum. Learn about Edmentum's target audience, which includes students, teachers, and decision makers at the district level, and how they engage with them through content marketing and traditional marketing channels. Join us to gain insights on the importance of being an educator first and how technology should never replace the teacher's role.

Marek Brunner (Leiter des Testbereiches (Classic & IARC)) erklärt uns, wie die Sticker auf den Spielen landen, was sich grundlegendes seit Mortal Kombat X an den Prüfprozessen verändert hat und wie die USK auf moderne Spieletrends wie F2P, In-App-Purchases, Dark Patterns und Co. reagiert.

John Droz, Jr., retired physicist, researcher, and citizens' rights activist discusses his new report: The Key to Fixing the US K-12 Education System   In this exclusive Schilling Show Unleashed Podcast interview, Droz examines what appears to be government schools' intentional removal of critical thinking skills, the corruption of the science curriculum, and a process for restoring integrity to the US K-12 education system.

In Folge 20 vom PC Games Podcast verschlägt es uns zunächst in virtuelle Realitäten, denn wir haben endlich PSVR 2 in der Redaktion und testen das Gerät sowie die ersten Spiele dafür. Im Talk mit Chris erzählt Toni von der Hardware allgemein, geht dabei aber auch auf verschiedene Launch-Titel von Sony zweitem VR-Headset ein. Matthias hingegen geht auf Horizon: Call of the Mountain ein. Das VR-Spin-off der großen Sony-Marke ist sicherlich der größte Titel des PSVR-2-Launch-Line-ups und bringt unseren Horizon-Fan fast ins Schwärmen. Danach gibt es im Podcast ein kleines Interview, das Chris kürzlich mit Tymon Smektala, dem Franchise Director von Dying Light, führte. Darin stellt Chris unter anderem Fragen zu den angekündigten Updates zu Dying Light 2, dem Stand von Dying Light 3 und auch zum Austausch mit der USK. Abschließend ziehen Matthias, Chris F. und der Host-Chris ein Zwischenfazit zur Serien-Adaption von The Last of Us. Das Trio spricht dabei über gelungene und weniger gelungene Änderungen der Vorlage und natürlich auch über die grandiose dritte Folge der HBO-Serie.

On a Happy Note A quick visit from Laura in from NYC. Dan and I did a big cellar clean-out over Labor Day weekend.  We enjoyed a big pool day (Oisin and Eme practiced their diving, Hattie practiced her swimming with Auntie Di) over Labor Day Weekend. We followed that with a clam bake, a belated birthday celebration for Oisin who turned 14 in June (while still in Ireland).  Oisín working with Dan in the yard again this fall. They uncovered an impromptu pumpkin patch that sprung up next to our deck! We had our first fire of the fall. Pizza and beer after the boys were done working. Hattie (age 4) asked “are you gonna knit with me?”  I asked if she was going to knit with ME! And she did.  We enjoyed our last pool day and family trip to Hornstra for ice cream!  Quote of the WeekAt some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough.

At least I realized it when I did, and only had to rip back a small bit of what I had already done.  I used safety pins and paper with notes to indicate which hexi was the start/end of each column. Worked like a charm and I didn't have any other issues after that.  Border- 1 round SC, 4 rounds HDC around.  switch light to dark gray to match blanket.
