President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah het vanmiddag haar hooftoespraak gelewer in Accra, Ghana by die hoëvlakkonferensie oor die volgende stappe tot die belangrike VN-resolusie oor die trans-Atlantiese handel in Afrika-slawe. Nandi-Ndaitwah sê hoewel dit 'n lang reis was, gaan Namibië voort om te pleit vir 'n omvattende en beginselvaste benadering tot die aanspreek van die blywende nalatenskap van kolonialisme, insluitend die Ovaherero- en Nama-volksmoord van 1904-1908.

Professor Mutjinde Katjiua, hoof van die Ovaherero Tradisionele Owerheid, sê sy gemeenskap is steeds gekant teen die Namibië-Duitsland Gesamentlike Verklaring oor die volksmoordkwessie, en dring daarop aan dat dit nie aan die VN se standaarde vir herstelbetalings voldoen nie. Dit kom nadat die uitgaande Duitse ambassadeur Thorsten Hütter gesê het dat Duitsland gereed is om om verskoning te vra vir die volksmoord en hy verwag dat die Gesamentlike Verklaring teen die einde van die jaar gefinaliseer sal wees.

Het is dé vraag die de meerderheid van de wereldbevolking (nl. de mensen in het mondiale Zuiden) bezighoudt: hoe helpen we armoede de wereld uit? We zijn zeer vereerd om deze cruciale vraag te stellen aan een gezaghebbende internationale gast die hierover sterke en onorthodoxe ideeën heeft: Olivier De Schutter. De Schutter is jurist en als hoogleraar verbonden aan UCLouvain en Sciences Po. Van 2004 tot 2008 was hij secretaris-generaal van de Internationale Federatie voor de Mensenrechten. Van 2008 tot 2014 was hij speciaal rapporteur van de VN over het recht op voedsel. De afgelopen zes jaar was hij speciaal VN-rapporteur extreme armoede en mensenrechten. Hij sloot deze periode af met de lancering van de Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth. Waarom onorthodox? Omdat De Schutter stelt dat groei en globalisering zoals we die nu kennen niet de juiste route zijn. In plaats daarvan stelt hij voor om te zoeken naar postgroei-oplossingen voor armoedebestrijding. Bijvoorbeeld door te focussen op Universal Basic Services en Triple Dividend maatregelen. Wie onze bijzondere gast is en wat zijn ideeën inhouden horen jullie in deze aflevering. Bronnen:- Roadmap for Eradicating Poverty Beyond Growth: https://www.neep-poverty.org/- Boek dat dit alles op een toegankelijke manier uitlegt: The Poverty of Growth, open-access: https://www.jstor.org/content/oa_book_monograph/jj.14054619

Ozeáš 2,16-25 16 „Preto, hľa, vyvábim ju, zavediem na púšť a prehovorím k jej srdcu. 17 Tam jej dám vinice a údolie Achór ako bránu nádeje a odtiaľ mi odpovie ako v dňoch svojej mladosti, ako vtedy, keď vychádzala z Egypta. 18 V ten deň,“ znie výrok Hospodina, „bude ma volať: ‚Môj muž,‘ a nebude ma viac volať: ‚Môj Baal‘. 19 Odvrátim mená baalov od jej úst, viac nebudú spomínaní menom. 20 Vtedy uzavriem zmluvu s divou zverou, nebeským vtáctvom a plazmi zeme. Luk a meč, teda boj, odstránim zo zeme a usadím ich v bezpečí. 21 Zasnúbim si ťa naveky, zasnúbim si ťa v spravodlivosti, práve, láske a v milosrdenstve. 22 Zasnúbim si ťa vo vernosti a ty spoznáš Hospodina. 23 Vtedy odpoviem,“ znie výrok Hospodina, „odpoviem nebesám a ony zasa odpovedia zemi, 24 zem odpovie obiliu, muštu a oleju a oni odpovedia Jezreelu. 25 Zasejem si ju v krajine a zmilujem sa nad Neomilostenou, poviem Nie môjmu ľudu: ‚Ty si môj ľud‘ a on povie: ‚Môj Boh‘.“ Stretnutie s Ním. Vyvábi si ju a zavedie na púšť a tam prehovorí k jej srdcu. Odvedie ju preč od rušivých podnetov, zabehnutého systému. Vezme ju na miesto, kde zaznie len Jeho hlas. Priamo do jej srdca. Aj napriek nevere izraelského ľudu Hospodin aktívne pracuje na Svojom obnovení vzťahu s ním. On iniciuje stretnutie, zasnúbenie, Jeho hlas znie, a robí tak na špecifickom mieste: na púšti. – – Čo je mojou púšťou? Kde Hospodin prehovára k môjmu srdcu? Čo musí utíchnuť, aby zaznel Jeho hlas do môjho srdca? A to stretnutie s Ním mení všetko: modly strácajú moc, utíchnu boje a nastupuje Hospodinova vernosť. Vnímam Jeho vábenie aj dnes? Až po osobnom stretnutí s Ním môžem vyznať: Ty si môj Boh! Modlitba: Hospodine, ďakujem Ti, že si silný Boh, ktorý utíši všetky boje aj neveru! Ďakujem Ti, že aj dnes Ťa môžem osobne stretnúť a vyznať, že si môj Boh! Amen. Pieseň: ES 244 Autor: Lenka Šimočková Tma bude pokrývať zem a temnota národy, ale nad tebou vyjde Hospodin a Jeho sláva sa zjaví nad tebou. Izaiáš 60,2 Potom k nim Ježiš znova prehovoril: „Ja som svetlo sveta. Kto Mňa nasleduje, nebude chodiť v tme, ale bude mať svetlo života.“ Ján 8,12 Príslovia 9,1-10 •   Modlíme sa za: Slovenské Pravno (TuS) Otázky na rozjímanie: Aká je moja dnes „púšť“ — kde potrebujem utíšiť rušivé podnety, zabehnutý systém a nechať Božieho hlasu prehovoriť priamo do môjho srdca? Kde v mojom živote sú ešte „Baalovia“ na mieste „Môjho muža“ — čo ma odvádzá od Božej vernosti a zasnúbenia v spravodlivosti, lásky a milosrdenstve? Ako dnes žijem z istoty, že Boh „zmilujem sa nad Neomilostenou“ a povie „Ty si môj ľud“ — či som si vedomý/á, že aj keď som bol/á neverný/á, Boh ma zasejme v krajine a zasa bude môj Boh? Aplikácia do života: Dnes si vyhraďte 10–15 minút na púšť: odložte mobil, vypnite hudbu, zatvorte dvere a povedzte: „Hospodin, prehovor k môjmu srdcu.“ Zapíšte si jednu modlitbu, kde sa pýtate: „Čo musí utíchnuť, aby Tvoj hlas znieval?“ Potom urobte jeden krok odvrátenia sa od Baala: odložte jednu vec, ktorá vás odvádzala od Boha. Dnes som vďačný za tieto 3 veci: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ Viac o vďačnosti, čo to je, prečo je dôležité byť vďačný, ako praktizovať vďačnosť nájdeš na blogu

Die sekretaris-generaal van die Verenigde Nasies, António Guterres, is bekommerd oor hernieude aanvalle in die Midde-Ooste. Iran het Sondag missiele op Israel afgevuur uit vergelding vir 'n aanval op die Libanese hoofstad, Beiroet. Israel het Maandagoggend reageer met teenaanvalle op Iranse militêre teikens. Dit is die eerste gevegte tussen die twee lande sedert 'n skietstilstand in April gesluit is. Die adjunkwoordvoerder van die VN, Farhan Haq, sê alle partye word gevra om hulself te weerhou van enige optrede wat 'n reeds onbestendige situasie verder kan aanwakker:

VOV1 - Theo báo cáo của Sở GDCK TP.HCM (HOSE), tính đến ngày 31/5/2026 đã có 52 doanh nghiệp có vốn hóa hơn 1 tỷ USD.Trong đó có 5 doanh nghiệp có vốn hóa trên 10 tỷ USD là Tập đoàn Vingroup (mã VIC), Công ty Cổ phần Vinhomes (VHM), Ngân hàng Thương mại Cổ phần Ngoại thương Việt Nam (VCB), Ngân hàng Thương mại Cổ phần Đầu tư và Phát triển Việt Nam (BID) và Ngân hàng Thương mại Cổ phần Công Thương Việt Nam (CTG).Về quy mô thị trường đến cuối tháng 5, HOSE có 655 mã chứng khoán đang niêm yết và giao với tổng khối lượng chứng khoán niêm yết đạt hơn 218.308 tỷ chứng khoán.- Trung tâm tài chính quốc tế cần hỗ trợ doanh nghiệp ra nước ngoài huy động vốn và mở rộng đầu tư.- Phiên giao dịch hôm qua, nhóm cổ phiếu vốn hóa lớn phục hồi, VN index quay đầu tăng điểm.

Dr. John Kegel, Universitait Docent Internationale Veiligheid, deed onderzoek naar de burgeroorlog in Rwanda. Wij praten met hem over zijn proefschrift The Struggle for Liberation. A History of the Rwandan Civil War, 1990-1994, verschenen bij Ohio University Press (https://www.ohioswallow.com/9780821426272/the-struggle-for-liberation/). In het gesprek vertelt John over de de Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), de successen van haar gewapende tak, de Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA) en wat Afrika ook in de huidige tijd voor ons kan betekenen. Errata: Tijdens ons enthousiast gesprek slopen enkele kleine foutjes in. De belangeijkste VN-contingenten waren Ghanezen en Tunesiërs. En er waren Senegalese observers, maar dat was geen groot contingent.

VOV1 - Trên thị trường chứng khoán chiều qua, diễn biến đáng chú ý khi áp lực bán mạnh trên diện rộng kéo VN-Index giảm sâu. Càng về cuối phiên, diễn biến sàn TP HCM càng kém tích cực. Sắc đỏ chiếm ưu thế ở sàn này. Hầu hết các nhóm ngành đều chuyển đỏ trong giai đoạn cuối phiên. Trong đó, nhóm dầu khí “đội sổ” phiên hôm nay. Các mã BSR, PLX, PVS, PVD, PVT… giảm từ 2 - 3%.

In een bijzondere aflevering, opgenomen in het Vredespaleis tijdens de Next Gen Security Summit 2026, spreken Rajeev Lachmipersad en Michel Don Michaloliákos met Kajsa Ollongren — voormalig minister van Defensie en Binnenlandse Zaken, en nu speciale vertegenwoordiger van de EU voor mensenrechten. Het gesprek gaat over een wereld waarin Amerika zich terugtrekt en Europa de last man standing wordt voor het aankaarten van mensenrechten, over het hypocrisieverwijt rond Gaza en Soedan, over haar bezoek aan het de facto geannexeerde Zuid-Libanon, en over de vraag hoe je mensenrechten verdedigt zonder het opgeheven vingertje.

Michel Barbier groeide op als boerenzoon, maar koos al snel een ander pad. Na een technische opleiding en een korte periode bij een bedrijf dat betonmixers maakt besloot hij het roer om te gooien en koos hij voor het Korps Mariniers. Dat bleek het begin van een carrière met veel verschillende functies en een overstap naar de Koninklijke Marechaussee. Tijdens een VN-missie in Soedan belandt Michel uiteindelijk in een extreem gevaarlijke situatie, waar hij getuige is van moord door Soedanese soldaten en samen met zijn collega moet vluchten, waarbij hij ook drie vrouwen meeneemt om hen uit de handen van de soldaten te houden.In deze aflevering van Mee Op Missie vertelt Michel gedetailleerd hoe dit uiteindelijk afliep.

Nu de oorlog in Libanon met de dag escaleert, trekt Iran een rode lijn. De onderhandelingen met de VS worden opgeschort, zolang Israël het offensief in Libanon voortzet. Hoe belangrijk is Hezbollah voor Teheran? En wat wordt het eindspel van Hezbollah? We vragen het collega Midden-Oostenkenner Abdou Bouzerda.  (14:29) Stille milieuramp door Iran-oorlog Terwijl de wereld met argusogen naar de raketten in de Iran-oorlog kijkt, speelt zich in de Perzische Golf een onzichtbare ramp af. Gezonken schepen lekken olie en ontziltingsinstallaties lopen risico. Met grote gevolgen voor ecosystemen, dier en mens. Bij ons Wim Zwijnenburg, die voor de VN grootschalig onderzoek doet naar de milieugevolgen van het conflict in het Midden-Oosten. Presentatie: Sophie Derkzen

Waarom lijkt vrede in de Hoorn van Afrika zo vaak buiten bereik? Waarom blijven conflicten terugkeren in landen als Soedan, Ethiopië, Eritrea en Somalië? En welke rol hebben het Westen, ontwikkelingshulp en internationale diplomatie daarin gespeeld?Voor deze bijzondere aflevering van De Africast gingen we in gesprek met Jan Pronk, voormalig minister van Ontwikkelingssamenwerking, VN-gezant in Soedan en een van de meest ervaren Nederlandse kenners van Afrika. Aanleiding is zijn nieuwe boek Scheuren rond de Hoorn van Afrika, waarin hij terugblikt op decennia van oorlog, diplomatie en internationale betrokkenheid in een van de meest complexe regio's ter wereld.Pronk zat niet aan de zijlijn. Hij kende de hoofdrolspelers persoonlijk, onderhandelde met presidenten en rebellenleiders en probeerde conflicten te voorkomen voordat ze uit de hand liepen. In een bijzonder openhartig gesprek vertelt hij over ontmoetingen met Isaias Afwerki en Meles Zenawi, de oorlog tussen Ethiopië en Eritrea, zijn tijd in Soedan en de pijnlijke vraag die diplomaten soms achtervolgt: had de geschiedenis anders kunnen lopen?Tegelijkertijd is de regio actueler dan ooit. De verwoestende burgeroorlog in Sudan, de spanningen rond de Rode Zee, de gevolgen van klimaatverandering en de groeiende invloed van regionale en mondiale machten laten zien dat de scheuren waar Pronk over schrijft nog altijd zichtbaar zijn.Daarnaast hoor je in deze aflevering ook een column, waarin we verder reflecteren op de geschiedenis, de geopolitiek en de toekomst van de Hoorn van Afrika.Volg onze LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/africastpodcast?originalSubdomain=nlVoor mooie beelden, quizjes en 'behind the scenes', volg onze Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/africast_podcast/Link met Jos of Joeri via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jos-hummelen/ & https://www.linkedin.com/in/joerinortier/

Hlasujte pro Mediální cirkus v anketě Podcast roku.--Pokud se prezident Petr Pavel rozhodne znovu kandidovat, bude jasný favorit. „Jsem přesvědčený, že by vyhrál. Teď nemá vyzývatele, který by byl schopen získat 51 procent hlasů,“ říká prezidentům mluvčí Vít Kolář.„Když se podíváte na žebříčky sociologických průzkumů, ať už v popularitě, nebo i přímo dotazované na to, zda by ho lidé volili jako prezidenta, tak tam není nikdo, kdo by se jeho číslům blížil,“ dovysvětluje Kolář, který na Pražském hradě vede tiskový odbor a prezidentovu komunikaci řídí od podzimu 2023. Podcastu Mediální cirkus teď dal první rozhovor o tom, jak vypadá zákulisí práce pro hlavu státu.Šetření s prezidentem„Je to zábavné, rozmanité, samozřejmě těžké, občas frustrující, ale práce s prezidentem je skvělá a možnost být takhle blízko důležitým událostem mě naplňuje,“ začíná své povídání v podcastu Kolář. A jak odolává tomu, aby na Hradě nepropadl přílišnému pocitu výjimečnosti?„Nemyslím si, že to je věc, které se nedá odolat, ale vliv to má. Zřejmě ten výhled, ty stěny, možná výjimečnost těch paláců má dopad na lidskou psychiku a jednání,“ říká napůl vážně a napůl s nadsázkou.Kolář se práci tiskového mluvčího věnuje dlouhé roky. Na Hrad přišel z České televize, kde přes deset let vedl komunikaci pro ředitele Petra Dvořáka.„Já bych rád šetřil s prezidentem, ale nabídek na rozhovory přichází obrovské množství. To není možné vůbec vměstnat do prezidentova kalendáře. Mám takový mustr a potom máme žolíky a divoké karty, kdy se prezident rozhodne: ‚Tohlet chci udělat, protože se mi to hrozně zdá sympatické.‘ Tak to uděláme,“ popisuje Kolář to, jak na Hradě rozhodují o prezidentových mediálních výstupech. Žádostí o rozhovor prý chodí zhruba sto měsíčně. Prezidentovým „žolíkem“ pak jsou rozhovory třeba pro motorkáře, armádu nebo pro děti.„Asi nejvýrazněji se potíme u některých rozhovorů pro zahraniční média. Čeští novináři z nich pak začnou citovat. A to samozřejmě vždycky v nejméně vhodnou dobu, protože jsme si mysleli, že to bude rozhovor o velkých zahraničních tématech třeba v souvislosti s nějakou cestou prezidenta,“ přiznává mluvčí.Kolář má vedle zkušeností mluvčího i ty diplomatické. Jednak vedl komunikaci ministerstva zahraničí pro ministry Cyrila Svobodu a Karla Schwarzenberga, a pak také sám čtyři roky působil na konzulátu v Austrálii.Prezident glosátor„Prezident se v poslední době stává glosátorem všeho politického dění. Dříve se novináři  ptali opozice. Teď se zeptají vlády na nějakou věc a na druhé straně je prezident. Co si myslíte o tomhle zákonu? Co si myslíte o tomhle výroku Andreje Babiše? Co si myslíte o tomhle výroku Tomia Okamury? To je komunikace, která nepřísluší prezidentovi. Prezident by si měl vybrat témata, která považuje za důležitá a v těch být aktivní, ale nechytat se všech i plevelnatých výroků,“ říká jeho mluvčí.Dotazy na veškeré dění okolo souvisí ale i s tím, že se prezident dostal do pozice hlavního politického oponenta vlády. A toho využívá i kabinet samotný - o prezidentovi mluví jako o lídrovi opozice.„S tím se bojuje těžce. Tu otázku dostávám, samozřejmě i interně, jakým způsobem pracovat s tou nálepkou. Myslím, že to vlastně je v pořádku, že se s tím moc dělat nedá. Za lídra opozice ho označovat současná koalice bude. Vnímám to jako taktiku a vlastně nevidím důvod, proč ztrácet obrovské množství energie tuhle nálepku sundávat. Prezident by měl svým konáním, svými rozhodnutími a svou prací ukazovat, že je prezidentem všech, nebo že se snaží být,“ přemýšlí nahlas Kolář, který na Hradě nahradil tým Markéty Řehákové. Ta pro Pavla pracovala v prezidentské kampani a chvíli po jeho zvolení.Petr Pavel dosud definitivně nepotvrdil, že bude kandidovat znovu. Nedávno prohlásil, že ale zatím nevidí jiného kandidáta na hlavu státu, kterého by případně sám chtěl volit. Pokud se situace nezmění, je připraven jít do boje o Hrad i podruhé. „Neznám osobnosti, které se budou do té volby hlásit. To bude velmi důležité, ale teď jsem přesvědčený o tom, že by vyhrál,“ říká Kolář. Jak se staví komunikace hlavy státu? Jak na Hradě bojují s dezinformace kolem prezidenta? A jak prezident snáší omezené pravomoci, když má silný mandát z přímé volby?--Mediální cirkus. Podcast Marie Bastlové o dění na mediální scéně.

De Verenigde Naties zijn op zoek naar een opvolger van de huidige secretaris-generaal António Guterres, die in 2027 na tien jaar vertrekt. Die baan is er de laatste jaren met oorlogen in Oekraïne, Gaza en Iran niet makkelijker op geworden. En dan moet de opvolger van Guterres ook nog eens worden goedgekeurd door Trump, Poetin en Xi! Al vanaf de oprichting van de Verenigde Naties is de functie van secretaris-generaal een ingewikkelde. De eerste bekleder van het ambt, de Noor Trygve Lie, noemde het al de 'meest onmogelijke baan ter wereld’. Hoe heeft Guterres gefunctioneerd en wie maken er kans? Dat ga je horen in deze aflevering van De Strateeg van: - Robert Serry, oud-ambassadeur en topdiplomaat, onder andere bij de VN en schrijver van het boek 'Nog is Oekraïne niet verloren - Diplomaat aan het front'. - Robert van de Roer, diplomatie-expert, die de VN al jaren op de voet volgt.

Send us Fan MailIn deze aflevering van Soul Session gaat psycholoog Huibrecht Boluijt in gesprek met Marcel Crock, wetenschapsjournalist. ‘Een wetenschapper pleegt nog liever zelfmoord dan dat ie z'n ongelijk bekent'. Met deze woorden geeft  de gedreven onderzoeker zijn reactie weer op de teleurstellende wijze waarop het IPCC (het klimaatpanel van de VN) en het KNMI, na erkent te hebben fouten te hebben gemaakt, het vervolgdebat weer uit de weg gaan.Wetenschap is volgens hem tegenwoordig een zaak van winnen in plaats van via inhoudelijk debat te komen tot vernieuwde inzichten. Gepassioneerd als altijd uit hij onderbouwd zijn kritiek.Hij ontmantelt de wolven in schaapskleren en legt uit hoe kunstmatig gecreëerde schaarste of dreiging van ziekte in de menselijke geschiedenis altijd hebben geleidt tot narratieven die (doods)angst aansturen.  Wat vervolgens mensen van de waarheid afhoudt ten faveure van macht en geld.Daarnaast leren we meer van de mens Marcel kennen.  Van hoe timide hij was als jongeman. En hoe hij zich ontwikkelde tot welbespraakte klimaatwetenschap-deskundige.In de opvoeding is wellicht ook de verklaring te vinden voor het feit waarom hij zich ontwikkelde tot een doorzetter. ‘Niet lullen maar poetsen', was het devies. Maar niet over alles werd gesproken erkent hij. Daarom is het wellicht dat hij niet de strijder werd om per se het eigen gelijk, maar eerder een voorvechter voor een open debat tussen mensen, waarbij een goed gesprek,  iedereen de ruimte biedt openlijk te delen wat men vindt van de dingen. Want het vrije woord en standpunten delen in een wederkerig respect dat is waardoor hij opbloeit.Support the showWaardeer je deze video('s)?

Vnímáte Boží mlčení jako nezájem, nebo dokážete rozpoznat hloubku jeho lásky i v dobách zkoušek a dlouhého čekání? Touto otázkou otevíráme prorockou knihu Malachiáš, která uzavírá celou starozákonní éru a odkrývá pohled na Boží věrnost vůči člověku. Výklad teologa Johna Vernona McGeeho se zaměřuje na nadčasové poselství tohoto posledního Božího posla. Slovem provází Pavel Vopalecký.Tento podcast můžete podpořit na https://radio7.cz

VOV1 - Tại một siêu đô thị có tốc độ gia tăng dân số cơ học cao như TP.HCM, giải pháp nhà ở xã hội cho thuê đang trở thành nhu cầu bức thiết để đảm bảo an sinh cho người lao động. Dưới góc độ thị trường, ông Lê Hoàng Châu, Chủ tịch Hiệp hội Bất động sản TP.HCM (HoREA) cho rằng, đặc thù việc làm và sự dịch chuyển lao động hiện nay đòi hỏi tư duy phát triển nhà ở phải đa dạng hóa mô hình, kiến nghị Nhà nước cần có chính sách hỗ trợ phát triển nhà cho thuê do cá nhân đầu tư, xem đây là kênh bổ sung nguồn cung giá rẻ rất hiệu quả. Bên cạnh đó, nghĩa vụ phát triển nhà ở xã hội của các dự án thương mại cũng cần được minh bạch:“ Chủ đầu tư được đề xuất 1 trong 3 phương thức là xây nhà ở xã hội trong dự án, hoán đổi quỹ đất khác có giá trị tương đương hoặc thanh toán bằng tiền. Điều này phải ghi ngay trong quyết định chủ trương đầu tư ngay từ đầu để làm rõ.” - Khối ngoại bán ròng 2 tỷ USD từ đầu năm trên thị trường chứng khoán Việt Nam.- Phiên giao dịch hôm qua, thanh khoản giảm, VN-index giằng co trong biên độ hẹp.Nhà ở xã hội tại TP.HCM luôn trong tình trạng không đủ đáp ứng (Ảnh: Duy Phương)

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 64 MIN. JEN NA ⁠HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR⁠⁠⁠⁠ A ⁠HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR „Srdce kultivuje mysl a mysl pomáhá srdci,“ říká herec Martin Myšička, když mluví o tom, jak se v něm celý život potkává analytické myšlení, herectví, intuice i potřeba něco skutečně dělat. Vystudoval fyziku, pak DAMU, dlouhé roky je spojený s Dejvickým divadlem a přiznává, že v sobě od začátku nese napětí mezi analytickou myslí a potřebou být na jevišti svobodný. „Dojít k té spolupráci je takové moje celoživotní výzva,“ říká. Mluví o herectví, závisti, známých rolích i o tom, že herec je pořád trochu závislý na tom, jestli se někomu hodí. „Když takhle mi něco uteklo, zpětně se na to podívám, tak se mi otevřel čas a prostor na jiné věci,“ říká k profesním příležitostem, které nepřišly. Zároveň odmítá jednoduché poměřování. Podle něj je rozdíl mezi tím chtít být nejlepší a chtít být výborný. „Když bude primární hodnota být nejlepší, tak to může být jenom jeden. Ovšem když budu chtít být výborný, tak můžeme být výborní všichni,“ říká. Myšička se v rozhovoru dostává i k politice, veřejné debatě a tomu, proč mu vadí, že lidé často nechtějí hledat řešení, ale vyhrát. „Všichni chtějí zvítězit, ale nechtějí najít to nejlepší řešení,“ říká a dodává, že podobné mechanismy vidí nejen u politiků, ale i v běžných vztazích. Zajímá ho eristická dialektika, manipulativní debatní triky i to, jak snadno se místo skutečné diskuze objeví nálepky, urážky a snaha protivníka porazit. „Slovo je čin,“ říká k tomu, že svoboda projevu podle něj neznamená říkat cokoli bez odpovědnosti. V debatě se vrací i k veřejnoprávním médiím, demokracii a otázce, proč se ve společnosti tak málo hledá průnik. „Proč nejsou pořady typu pojďme najít klidné řešení? Nebo co nás spojuje?“ ptá se. Myšička mluví i o meditacích, holotropním dýchání, ale i o umělé inteligenci. Vnímá ji jako mocný nástroj, ale zároveň jako něco, co neumí ochutnat jablko ani prožít okamžik. Právě AI podle něj může lidem připomenout, že člověk není jen soubor informací. „Být člověk je ještě něco jiného,“ dodává. Co je podle něj nenahraditelné? Proč bude živé setkání možná čím dál vzácnější? A dá se o mužství, ženství, politice i duchovních otázkách mluvit bez nálepek a potřeby zvítězit? Pusťte si celý rozhovor.

“Project Freedom” alweer opgeschort | Iraans nucleair programma intact | Moskou blijft moorden Trump pauzeert Project Freedom in de Straat van Hormuz en legt zo de Amerikaanse kwetsbaarheid bloot tegenover Iran. Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk schetsen hoe de VS er niet in slagen de scheepvaartroute te beveiligen, terwijl de Revolutionaire Garde de druk opvoert met aanvallen op de Golfstaten. De olieprijs schiet op en neer, de oorlog is impopulair in de VS en Trump verschuilt zich achter Pakistaanse bemiddeling om een openlijk falen uit te stellen. Iran blijkt militair minder geraakt dan Washington verkondigt, terwijl Amerikaanse doelen zwaarder zijn getroffen dan eerder is toegegeven. De VS raakt afhankelijk van Chinese en Pakistaanse druk op Teheran en probeert via een VN-resolutie onder hoofdstuk zeven alsnog internationale rugdekking te organiseren. In Europa kijken markten vooral naar mogelijke de-escalatie, ondanks oplopende energieprijzen en politieke nervositeit in Golfstaten en EU-hoofdsteden. Rusland intensiveert intussen zijn tweestapsraketaanvallen op Oekraïense steden en infrastructuur, terwijl Kyiv dieper op Russisch grondgebied terugslaat. Boekestijn en De Wijk bespreken hoe Poetin zich terugtrekt in een bunker bij de Krim, worstelt met terreinverlies, economische pijn en groeiende angst voor een coup. Tussen Taiwanese drones, Oekraïense defensie en een gevallen pro-Europese regering in Roemenië wordt duidelijk hoe fragiel de geopolitieke verhoudingen blijven. [Samenvatting geschreven door AI en gecontroleerd door mens] Over de Podcast Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk gaan onder leiding van Hugo Reitsma op zoek naar de nieuwe wereldorde. Wat betekenen oorlog, machtspolitiek en economische verschuivingen voor Europa en Nederland? In elke aflevering duiken zij in de geopolitieke actualiteit. In 2022 werd Boekestijn en De Wijk uitgeroepen tot winnaar in de categorie Nieuws & Politiek tijdens de Dutch Podcast Awards Reageren?

Roemenië staat op de rand van een kersverse politieke crisis. Nadat eerder de pro-Europese coalitie uiteen is gevallen, vindt er vandaag een vertrouwensstemming plaats. Op een zeer opvallende en ongebruikelijke manier hebben links en uiterst rechts de handen ineengeslagen om de premier naar huis te sturen. En dat kan grote gevolgen hebben voor de Roemenen, maar ook voor de rest van Europa. Te gast is journalist en Roemeniëkenner Stefan Popa.  (10:53) Oorlogsmisdaden in Libanon  Ondanks het staakt-het-vuren vinden er Israëlische aanvallen plaats in Libanon. Hezbollah slaat op zijn weer terug. Met name in het zuiden van het land wordt de humanitaire situatie nijpend en worden complete dorpen vernietigd. Organisaties als VN en Human Rights Watch slaan alarm en vrezen in het ergste scenario voor oorlogsmisdaden. Daarover correspondent Tara Kenkhuis en Marieke de Hoon, hoofddocent internationaal strafrecht aan de UVA. Presentatie: Laila Frank

Ring Your Granny, systeemverandering, infighting, de convenience trap, de passiviteit van goede mensen, positief activisme, kortom: ACTIE! Nori Spauwen is er! Schrijver, filosoof en voormalig mensenrechtenlobbyist bij de VN voor LHBTI+-rechten. Nori vertelt over haar boek ACTIE!, waarin ze reflecteert op activisme en de valkuilen van idealisme in een wereld vol onrecht. Ze deelt haar persoonlijke ervaringen, zoals haar burn-out na jarenlang activisme bij het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, haar confrontatie met oud-minister Stef Blok over controversiële uitspraken, en hoe ze leerde omgaan met weerstand en systeemverandering. Het gesprek gaat dieper in op thema’s als de ‘convenience trap’ en de kracht van positief activisme, geïllustreerd door verhalen zoals de Ring Your Granny-campagne in Ierland, die bijdroeg aan de legalisering van de openstelling van het huwelijk daar. Nori en Ype blikken terug op hun gedeelde verleden, zoals hun tijd bij het blad Expreszo en Ype’s fotostrips, en bespreken ze de uitdagingen van moderne communicatie, zoals de afhankelijkheid van sociale media en de zoektocht naar alternatieven.

In het Colombiaanse Santa Marta zijn landen en organisaties sinds vrijdag samengekomen om het te hebben over klimaat, olie en gas. Dat klinkt als de COP toch? De jaarlijkse VN-klimaatconferentie waar landen afspraken maken over klimaatbeleid. Maar nee, dit is wat anders...De jaarlijkse klimaatconferentie van de VN kennen we allemaal wel, waar overheden en belanghebbenden klimaatbeleid bespreken. Dit om de voortgang van de uitvoering van het Klimaatakkoord van Parijs te beoordelen en te toetsen, allemaal met als einddoel om klimaatverandering tegen te gaan en aan te pakken. Opeens is daar een nieuwe klimaattop. Geen COP, maar de TAF. Waarom is deze klimaattop er? Is het een alternatief op de COP, of een aanvulling? Wat wordt daar besproken?

Vandaag bespreken we het boek Het uur van de wolven, van Giuliano da Empoli. Giuliano da Empoli (1973) is een Italiaans-Zwitserse politicoloog, schrijver en journalist. Hij groeide op in verschillende Europese landen, studeerde rechten aan de Sapienza-universiteit in Rome en behaalde een master in politieke wetenschappen aan Sciences Po in Parijs. Da Empoli was onder meer politiek adviseur van de Italiaanse premier Matteo Renzi en locoburgemeester van Cultuur in Florence. Momenteel is hij directeur van de denktank Volta in Milaan en doet hij onderzoek en geeft les aan Sciences Po in Parijs. Da Empoli beweegt zich al jaren in de hoogste kringen van de internationale politiek en staat bekend om zijn scherpe analyses van macht, autoritairisme en de invloed van technologie op de samenleving. Zijn boeken, zoals "De Kremlinfluisteraar" en "Het uur van de wolven", zijn veelgelezen en worden gewaardeerd om hun diepgaande inzichten en verhalende stijl. Hij wordt gezien als een belangrijke stem in het debat over de toekomst van Europa en de democratieën. Zijn achtergrond als adviseur en denker maakt hem tot een opvallende figuur die zowel de academische wereld als de politieke praktijk kent. Het boek "Het uur van de wolven" van Giuliano Da Empoli is een indringend essay dat de gelijktijdige opkomst van autoritairisme en de invloed van tech-giganten en AI op onze samenleving onderzoekt. De kernboodschap is dat we in een tijdperk zijn beland waarin de oude, liberale democratische orde – met vaste spelregels, rechtsstaat en internationale samenwerking – plaatsmaakt voor een nieuwe realiteit. In deze realiteit heersen "wolven": autoritaire leiders zoals Trump, Orbán en Meloni, en tech-magnaten zoals Musk, die chaos en ontregeling gebruiken om hun macht te vergroten. Da Empoli beschrijft hoe deze krachten samenspannen en de democratie, de rechtsstaat en de internationale betrekkingen ondermijnen. Het boek waarschuwt voor de gevaren van deze ontwikkeling en benadrukt hoe slecht de gevestigde orde hierop was voorbereid. De titel "Het uur van de wolven" verwijst naar het moment waarop de wolven – de nieuwe machthebbers – actief worden en de bestaande structuren bedreigen. Het is een oproep om wakker te worden en de schaduwzijde van de macht te herkennen en te bestrijden het boek gaat over de crisis van de democratie en de opkomst van nieuwe, meedogenloze machtsstructuren in politiek en technologie Wat ik mooi vind, is hoe hij met voorbeelden uit de geschiedenis laat zien dat landen en volken dit allemaal al meerdere keren hebben meegemaakt. Inhoud New York, september 2024 Florence, maart 2012 Riyad, november 2024 New York, september 2024 Washington, november 2024 Chicago, november 2017 Montreal, september 2024 Parijs, september 1931 Berlijn, december 2024 Rome, oktober 1998 Lissabon, mei 2023 Lieusaint, december 2024 Intro vergelijk Azteken in de 16e eeuw met de westerse democratieën tegenover de conquistadores van de tech. Zelfvernedering om uiteindelijk vernietigd te worden. Stukje bij beetje leggen de oligarchen de politiek de wil op. Er is geen twijfel mogelijk: het uur van de wolf heeft nu echt geslagen, anders blijft er geen democratie over. Europa lijkt het enige continent waarin de democratie nog wordt verdedigd. New York, september 2024 Begint gelijk ingewikkeld met allerlei ontmoetingen en de algemene vergadering van de VN, Libanon, Israël, Iran, Rusland, Oekraïne, de politiek en ontmoetingen met de dictators rondom deze conflicten. Boek Tony Blair met drie stadia waar politieke leiders doorheen lopen: Als ze net aan de macht zijn, luisteren ze aandachtig. Ze weten dat ze niet veel weten. Na een tijdje overtuigen ze zichzelf dat ze voldoende ervaring hebben opgebouwd en dat ze alles doorhebben. 'Dan heb je geen zin meer om naar anderen te luisteren.' Maar weinigen komen in deze mature fase waarin je tot inzicht komt dat jouw ervaring niet het totaal generaal van politieke kennis is. Dan begin je weer naar anderen te luisteren. Dit gaat vooral over het conflict in Libanon. Oorlog is weer in de mode. In de afgelopen vijf jaar zijn de militaire uitgaven met een derde toegenomen. Een periode waarin aanvallen goedkoper is dan verdedigen. De nucleaire dreiging neemt weer toe. Florence, maart 2012 Mooie start over een werk van Da Vinci over De slag bij Anghiari. p44 over de periodes waarin verdedigen goedkoper is dan aanvallen en perioden waarin aanvallen goedkoper is dan verdedigen. Vergelijk raketten met vliegdekschepen. Cyberaanvallen en chemische en biologische oorlog. Riyad, november 2024 De kroonprins Mohammed bin Salma (MbS). Jong, gestudeerd op een prestigieuze universiteit. Verhaal over gasten in Ritz-Carlton die denken naar een feest gaan maanden worden vastgehouden om voorwaarden van MbS te accepteren om hun schuld te vereffenen (leverde meer dan 100 miljard op). Je moet mensen óf strelen óf uitroeien. De eerste wet van strategisch handelen is krachtdadig optreden. Onbesuisde actie. New York, september 2024 Het bijzondere verhaal over Nayib Bukele die de algemene vergadering toespreekt over zijn actie in El Salvador en iedere met tatoeages vastzet om zo miljoenen mensen te bevrijden van geweld. om uiteindelijk de democratie te ontmantelen. Washington, november 2024 p72 De verandering van het debat van de publieke ruimte naar online waardoor het lijkt dat alles is toegestaan voor eigen gewin. Het bewust creëren van chaos p74 In de nieuwe wereld hebben borgianen een beslissend voordeel. Kennis is een van de grootste vijanden van actie. De juristenpartij (Democraten).

(nadat er niet naar hem geluistert werd door het bedrijf en het al heel ingewikkeld is om uberhaupt een mens te spreken) Interessant ook de link met de verhalen van Kafka in het Kasteel die de schrijver legt. Interview Buitenhof Opvallende lessen uit het boek voor ons: 00:00 intro - een eerste indruk van het boek en de auteur 03:30 De auteur is een interessante persoon in de toeschouwerrol. 06:20 In de Nederlandse media zijn de wereld van de politiek en de wetenschap gescheiden. 08:10 Wat leer ik uit het verleden voor de huidige tijd. 13:50 Goede voorbereiding op politiek overleg: verdiep je in de geschiedenis. 14:50 De coalitie van techniek en autocratie, dat is levensgevaarlijk. 17:30 Als je aarzelt en niets doet, dan word je onder de voet gelopen. 20:50 De drie stadia van luisteren naar anderen van een politicus. 22:10 In een oorlog is op dit moment, economisch gezien, aanvallen weer goedkoper dan aanvallen. De wapens om een land aan te vallen zijn goedkoper dan het materieel om je te verdedigen tegen een agressor. 29:10 Begin met het definiëren van je kernwaarden als natie. 31:30 De Europese federalisering is niet ver genoeg ontwikkeld. 34:45 Het bijzondere verhaal van Mohammad bin Salman over een bizarre actie die hem meer dan 100 miljard opleverde. 41:50 Het belang om de infrastructuur snel te beheersen bij een staatsgreep, en de link naar de big tech en de Europese afhankelijkheid nu. 43:00 De overeenkomsten van de big tech met Obama en Trump, met de directe invloed op de president, bij de Democraten en Liberalen. 46:45 Eric Schmidt legt zijn taken bij Google neer om Barack Obama te ondersteunen in de verkiezingsstrijd. Door gebruik te maken van data. 47:50 Twee weken na de herverkiezing staakt de antitrustcommissie de gerechtelijke stappen tegen Google. 50:00 Het idee van zelfregulering is een van de grote leugens.

Israël en Libanon spreken een staakt-het-vuren af, maar Libanon meldt direct schendingen door Israëlische beschietingen op dorpen in het zuiden. Premier Benjamin Netanyahu houdt Israëlische troepen tijdens het bestand in Zuid-Libanon en koppelt een gefaseerde terugtrekking aan het ontmantelen van Hezbollah. Midden-Oosten-correspondent Tara Kenkhuis schetst hoe Libanese partijen terugkeer naar het gebied ten zuiden van de Litani-rivier voorlopig afraden en welke rol Donald Trump en nieuwe onderhandelingen met Iran en Pakistan in de komende dagen spelen. Europa kampt met een dreigend tekort aan kerosine nu de olieaanvoer uit het Midden-Oosten terugvalt, waarschuwt het Internationaal Energieagentschap. Volgens Willem-Henk Streekstra, directeur van de Vereniging van Nederlandse Tankopslagbedrijven, is ongeveer 20% van de markt weggevallen, lopen voorraden in de komende weken verder terug en jagen schaarste en onzekerheid de prijzen op. Luchtvaartmaatschappijen zoals KLM schrappen vluchten vanwege de kosten, terwijl handelaren terughoudend zijn met nieuwe aankopen en Europese samenwerking bij inkoop en voorraadbeheer nog uitblijft. In Den Haag bespreekt het kabinet - in de ministerraad - steunmaatregelen om de economische gevolgen van het conflict in het Midden-Oosten te dempen, zegt politiek verslaggever Michiel Jurrjens. Op tafel liggen onder meer een verhoging van de onbelaste kilometervergoeding naar 25 cent, een halvering van de wegenbelasting voor grijze kentekens en versnelling van woningisolatie, waarover het kabinet na het weekend een brief naar de Kamer stuurt.

Deze week is het drie jaar geleden dat het geweld in Soedan opnieuw losbarstte. Miljoenen mensen zijn ontheemd geraakt en naar schatting zijn er meer dan 150.000 mensen vermoord. Volgens de VN is dit op dit moment de grootste humanitaire crisis ter wereld. En toch lijkt de aandacht die eraan besteed wordt minimaal. Wat betekent het voor het Soedanese volk om onder dit onmenselijke geweld gebukt te gaan, waarom is vrede zo moeilijk te bereiken en hoe ishet om als diaspora op afstand te leven met een crisis van deze omvang? Te gast: Osama Idries, strategisch adviseur bij FNV Academie, en Leya Schoonderwoerd, onderzoeker en activist. Beiden van Soedanese afkomst.

VOV1 - Về việc giá vé máy bay tăng ảnh hưởng đến năng lực cạnh tranh của du lịch Việt Nam, Cục Du lịch Quốc gia Việt Nam đã đề nghị các doanh nghiệp lữ hành linh hoạt điều chỉnh giá, đặc biệt là các gói combo, nhằm ổn định chi phí và duy trì sức hút đối với du khách.Theo Cục Du lịch Quốc gia Việt Nam, xung đột tại Trung Đông từ cuối tháng 2 năm nay đã và đang tác động rõ rệt đến thị trường du lịch toàn cầu, trong đó có Việt Nam, chủ yếu thông qua việc gia tăng chi phí nhiên liệu, gián đoạn vận tải hàng không và gây ra biến động tâm lý thị trường khách quốc tế. Với nước ta, tác động bước đầu thể hiện ở việc giá vé máy bay quốc tế tăng, một số hành trình kéo dài thời gian bay, qua đó làm tăng chi phí tour. Một số doanh nghiệp lữ hành phản ánh lượng khách từ châu Âu có xu hướng chững lại trong khi chi phí đầu vào tăng từ 10-20%.Bà Nguyễn Thị Hoa Mai, Phó Cục trưởng Cục Du lịch Quốc gia Việt Nam cho biết: "Chúng ta tăng cường khẳng định định vị du lịch Việt Nam là một điểm đến an toàn, ổn định, hấp dẫn. Hấp dẫn ở đây vì chúng ta có những gói sản phẩm rất phù hợp với khách du lịch, phù hợp với xu hướng du lịch cuả thế giới."Cục Du lịch Quốc gia VN đã và đang phối hợp với các cơ quan chức năng đặc biệt là các đơn vị quản lý hàng không, xuất nhập cảnh để kịp thời xử lý các tình huống phát sinh liên quan đếb du khách quốc tế bị ảnh hưởng bởi việc thay đổi lộ trình bay, huỷ chuyến hoặc gián đoạn vận chuyển; xây dựng các kịch bản ứng phó trong xử lý các tình huống khẩn cấp liên quan đến khách du lịch, bảo đảm duy trì hoạt động du lịch an toàn và ổn định. Tiếp thời gian tới, du lịch Việt Nam đẩy mạnh các chương trình thúc đẩy phát triển du lịch thông minh, ứng dụng công nghệ trong quản lý và nâng cao trải nghiệm du khách.Bà Nguyễn Thị Hoa Mai, Phó Cục trưởng Cục Du lịch Quốc gia Việt Nam đang trả lời phóng viên VOV

Donderdag bespreekt het Franse parlement een wetsvoorstel dat volgens critici kritiek op Israël gelijkstelt met antisemitisme. Instanties maken zich zorgen: de wet zou een vorm van gedachtenpolitie zijn, en journalisten verplichten tot zelfcensuur. Meer dan een half miljoen mensen ondertekenden inmiddels een petitie tegen de wet, in het parlement belooft het een vurig debat te worden. Daarover Frankrijk-correspondent Eva Rammeloo. (13:04) Is VS wereldleider af? Landen binnenvallen zonder VN-mandaat, oproepen tot het begaan van oorlogsmisdaden, en tot het uitroeien van een hele beschaving: de afgelopen maanden heeft de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump gebroken met de klassieke taak die de VS als supermacht sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog had. Namelijk het handhaven van de internationale rechtsorde en respect voor mensenrechten. Wat betekent dat voor de VS als wereldleider en supermacht? En voor de Amerikaanse bondgenoten in Europa? Te gast is Henne Schuwer, voormalig ambassadeur in de VS en lid van de Adviesraad Internationale Vraagstukken. Presentatie: Nadia Moussaid

China wil zich niet mengen in de oorlog die de VS en Israël zijn begonnen tegen Iran. Heeft het Chinese bewind er baat bij de chaos op zijn beloop te laten? We bespreken het met Groene-columnist en oud-China-correspondent Garrie van Pinxteren. In Historische Woorden klinkt, vanuit de VN in New York, de Ghanese president John Dramani Mahama die zijn motie in stemming brengt om de trans-Atlantische slavenhandel als ‘ergste misdaad tegen de menselijkheid’ te bestempelen. Met correspondent Cosette Molijn bespreken we de situatie in Libanon, dat na aanvallen van Hezbollah op Israël in een nieuwe ronde van oorlog is getrokken.

Die Verenigde Nasies waarsku hoe langer die Rusland-Oekraïne-oorlog voortduur, hoe dodeliker word dit. Sedert Rusland sy volskaalse inval in Oekraïne in 2022 van stapel gestuur het, is 15 364 burgerlikes dood, insluitend 775 kinders, en meer as 42 000 mense is beseer. Ten minste 188 burgerlikes is in Februarie dood en 757 is beseer, 'n toename van 45-persent teenoor dieselfde tydperk verlede jaar. Rosemary DiCarlo van die VN sê verslae dui op 'n toename in aanvalle wat spoorweë en ander vervoerinfrastruktuur teiken:

All speakers are announced at AIE EU, schedule coming soon. Join us there or in Miami with the renowned organizers of React Miami! Singapore CFP also open!We've called this out a few times over in AINews, but the overwhelming consensus in the Valley is that “the IDE is Dead”. In November it was just a gut feeling, but now we actually have data: even at the canonical “VSCode Fork” company, people are officially using more agents than tab autocomplete (the first wave of AI coding):Cursor has launched cloud agents for a few months now, and this specific launch is around Computer Use, which has come a long way since we first talked with Anthropic about it in 2024, and which Jonas productized as Autotab:We also take the opportunity to do a live demo, talk about slash commands and subagents, and the future of continual learning and personalized coding models, something that Sam previously worked on at New Computer. (The fact that both of these folks are top tier CEOs of their own startups that have now joined the insane talent density gathering at Cursor should also not be overlooked).Full Episode on YouTube!please like and subscribe!Timestamps00:00 Agentic Code Experiments00:53 Why Cloud Agents Matter02:08 Testing First Pillar03:36 Video Reviews Second Pillar04:29 Remote Control Third Pillar06:17 Meta Demos and Bug Repro13:36 Slash Commands and MCPs18:19 From Tab to Team Workflow31:41 Minimal Web UI Philosophy32:40 Why No File Editor34:38 Full Stack Cursor Debate36:34 Model Choice and Auto Routing38:34 Parallel Agents and Best Of N41:41 Subagents and Context Management44:48 Grind Mode and Throughput Future01:00:24 Cloud Agent Onboarding and MemoryTranscriptEP 77 - CURSOR - Audio version[00:00:00]Agentic Code ExperimentsSamantha: This is another experiment that we ran last year and didn't decide to ship at that time, but may come back to LM Judge, but one that was also agentic and could write code. So it wasn't just picking but also taking the learnings from two models or and models that it was looking at and writing a new diff.And what we found was that there were strengths to using models from different model providers as the base level of this process. Basically you could get almost like a synergistic output that was better than having a very unified like bottom model tier.Jonas: We think that over the coming months, the big unlock is not going to be one person with a model getting more done, like the water flowing faster and we'll be making the pipe much wider and so paralyzing more, whether that's swarms of agents or parallel agents, both of those are things that contribute to getting much more done in the same amount of time.Why Cloud Agents Matterswyx: This week, one of the biggest launches that Cursor's ever done is cloud agents. I think you, you had [00:01:00] cloud agents before, but this was like, you give cursor a computer, right? Yeah. So it's just basically they bought auto tab and then they repackaged it. Is that what's going on, or,Jonas: that's a big part of it.Yeah. Cloud agents already ran in their own computers, but they were sort of site reading code. Yeah. And those computers were not, they were like blank VMs typically that were not set up for the Devrel X for whatever repo the agents working on. One of the things that we talk about is if you put yourself in the model shoes and you were seeing tokens stream by and all you could do was cite read code and spit out tokens and hope that you had done the right thing,swyx: no chanceJonas: I'd be so bad.Like you obviously you need to run the code. And so that I think also is probably not that contrarian of a take, but no one has done that yet. And so giving the model the tools to onboard itself and then use full computer use end-to-end pixels in coordinates out and have the cloud computer with different apps in it is the big unlock that we've seen internally in terms of use usage of this going from, oh, we use it for little copy changes [00:02:00] to no.We're really like driving new features with this kind of new type of entech workflow. Alright, let's see it. Cool.Live Demo TourJonas: So this is what it looks like in cursor.com/agents. So this is one I kicked off a while ago. So on the left hand side is the chat. Very classic sort of agentic thing. The big new thing here is that the agent will test its changes.So you can see here it worked for half an hour. That is because it not only took time to write the tokens of code, it also took time to test them end to end. So it started Devrel servers iterate when needed. And so that's one part of it is like model works for longer and doesn't come back with a, I tried some things pr, but a I tested at pr that's ready for your review.One of the other intuition pumps we use there is if a human gave you a PR asked you to review it and you hadn't, they hadn't tested it, you'd also be annoyed because you'd be like, only ask me for a review once it's actually ready. So that's what we've done withTesting Defaults and Controlsswyx: simple question I wanted to gather out front.Some prs are way smaller, [00:03:00] like just copy change. Does it always do the video or is it sometimes,Jonas: Sometimes.swyx: Okay. So what's the judgment?Jonas: The model does it? So we we do some default prompting with sort. What types of changes to test? There's a slash command that people can do called slash no test, where if you do that, the model will not test,swyx: but the default is test.Jonas: The default is to be calibrated. So we tell it don't test, very simple copy changes, but test like more complex things. And then users can also write their agents.md and specify like this type of, if you're editing this subpart of my mono repo, never tested ‘cause that won't work or whatever.Videos and Remote ControlJonas: So pillar one is the model actually testing Pillar two is the model coming back with a video of what it did.We have found that in this new world where agents can end-to-end, write much more code, reviewing the code is one of these new bottlenecks that crop up. And so reviewing a video is not a substitute for reviewing code, but it is an entry point that is much, much easier to start with than glancing at [00:04:00] some giant diff.And so typically you kick one off you, it's done you come back and the first thing that you would do is watch this video. So this is a, video of it. In this case I wanted a tool tip over this button. And so it went and showed me what that looks like in, in this video that I think here, it actually used a gallery.So sometimes it will build storybook type galleries where you can see like that component in action. And so that's pillar two is like these demo videos of what it built. And then pillar number three is I have full remote control access to this vm. So I can go heat in here. I can hover things, I can type, I have full control.And same thing for the terminal. I have full access. And so that is also really useful because sometimes the video is like all you need to see. And oftentimes by the way, the video's not perfect, the video will show you, is this worth either merging immediately or oftentimes is this worth iterating with to get it to that final stage where I am ready to merge in.So I can go through some other examples where the first video [00:05:00] wasn't perfect, but it gave me confidence that we were on the right track and two or three follow-ups later, it was good to go. And then I also have full access here where some things you just wanna play around with. You wanna get a feel for what is this and there's no substitute to a live preview.And the VNC kind of VM remote access gives you that.swyx: Amazing What, sorry? What is VN. AndJonas: just the remote desktop. Remote desktop. Yeah.swyx: Sam, any other details that you always wanna call out?Samantha: Yeah, for me the videos have been super helpful. I would say, especially in cases where a common problem for me with agents and cloud agents beforehand was almost like under specification in my requests where our plan mode and going really back and forth and getting detailed implementation spec is a way to reduce the risk of under specification, but then similar to how human communication breaks down over time, I feel like you have this risk where it's okay, when I pull down, go to the triple of pulling down and like running this branch locally, I'm gonna see that, like I said, this should be a toggle and you have a checkbox and like, why didn't you get that detail?And having the video up front just [00:06:00] has that makes that alignment like you're talking about a shared artifact with the agent. Very clear, which has been just super helpful for me.Jonas: I can quickly run through some other Yes. Examples.Meta Agents and More DemosJonas: So this is a very front end heavy one. So one question I wasswyx: gonna say, is this only for frontJonas: end?Exactly. One question you might have is this only for front end? So this is another example where the thing I wanted it to implement was a better error message for saving secrets. So the cloud agents support adding secrets, that's part of what it needs to access certain systems. Part of onboarding that is giving access.This is cloud is working onswyx: cloud agents. Yes.Jonas: So this is a fun thing isSamantha: it can get super meta. ItJonas: can get super meta, it can start its own cloud agents, it can talk to its own cloud agents. Sometimes it's hard to wrap your mind around that. We have disabled, it's cloud agents starting more cloud agents. So we currently disallow that.Someday you might. Someday we might. Someday we might. So this actually was mostly a backend change in terms of the error handling here, where if the [00:07:00] secret is far too large, it would oh, this is actually really cool. Wow. That's the Devrel tools. That's the Devrel tools. So if the secret is far too large, we.Allow secrets above a certain size. We have a size limit on them. And the error message there was really bad. It was just some generic failed to save message. So I was like, Hey, we wanted an error message. So first cool thing it did here, zero prompting on how to test this. Instead of typing out the, like a character 5,000 times to hit the limit, it opens Devrel tools, writes js, or to paste into the input 5,000 characters of the letter A and then hit save, closes the Devrel tools, hit save and gets this new gets the new error message.So that looks like the video actually cut off, but here you can see the, here you can see the screenshot of the of the error message. What, so that is like frontend backend end-to-end feature to, to get that,swyx: yeah.Jonas: Andswyx: And you just need a full vm, full computer run everything.Okay. Yeah.Jonas: Yeah. So we've had versions of this. This is one of the auto tab lessons where we started that in 2022. [00:08:00] No, in 2023. And at the time it was like browser use, DOM, like all these different things. And I think we ended up very sort of a GI pilled in the sense that just give the model pixels, give it a box, a brain in a box is what you want and you want to remove limitations around context and capabilities such that the bottleneck should be the intelligence.And given how smart models are today, that's a very far out bottleneck. And so giving it its full VM and having it be onboarded with Devrel X set up like a human would is just been for us internally a really big step change in capability.swyx: Yeah I would say, let's call it a year ago the models weren't even good enough to do any of this stuff.SoSamantha: even six months ago. Yeah.swyx: So yeah what people have told me is like round about Sonder four fire is when this started being good enough to just automate fully by pixel.Jonas: Yeah, I think it's always a question of when is good enough. I think we found in particular with Opus 4 5, 4, 6, and Codex five three, that those were additional step [00:09:00] changes in the autonomy grade capabilities of the model to just.Go off and figure out the details and come back when it's done.swyx: I wanna appreciate a couple details. One 10 Stack Router. I see it. Yeah. I'm a big fan. Do you know any, I have to name the 10 Stack.Jonas: No.swyx: This just a random lore. Some buddy Sue Tanner. My and then the other thing if you switch back to the video.Jonas: Yeah.swyx: I wanna shout out this thing. Probably Sam did it. I don't knowJonas: the chapters.swyx: What is this called? Yeah, this is called Chapters. Yeah. It's like a Vimeo thing. I don't know. But it's so nice the design details, like the, and obviously a company called Cursor has to have a beautiful cursorSamantha: and it isswyx: the cursor.Samantha: Cursor.swyx: You see it branded? It's the cursor. Cursor, yeah. Okay, cool. And then I was like, I complained to Evan. I was like, okay, but you guys branded everything but the wallpaper. And he was like, no, that's a cursor wallpaper. I was like, what?Samantha: Yeah. Rio picked the wallpaper, I think. Yeah. The video.That's probably Alexi and yeah, a few others on the team with the chapters on the video. Matthew Frederico. There's been a lot of teamwork on this. It's a huge effort.swyx: I just, I like design details.Samantha: Yeah.swyx: And and then when you download it adds like a little cursor. Kind of TikTok clip. [00:10:00] Yes. Yes.So it's to make it really obvious is from Cursor,Jonas: we did the TikTok branding at the end. This was actually in our launch video. Alexi demoed the cloud agent that built that feature. Which was funny because that was an instance where one of the things that's been a consequence of having these videos is we use best of event where you run head to head different models on the same prompt.We use that a lot more because one of the complications with doing that before was you'd run four models and they would come back with some giant diff, like 700 lines of code times four. It's what are you gonna do? You're gonna review all that's horrible. But if you come back with four 22nd videos, yeah, I'll watch four 22nd videos.And then even if none of them is perfect, you can figure out like, which one of those do you want to iterate with, to get it over the line. Yeah. And so that's really been really fun.Bug Repro WorkflowJonas: Here's another example. That's we found really cool, which is we've actually turned since into a slash command as well slash [00:11:00] repro, where for bugs in particular, the model of having full access to the to its own vm, it can first reproduce the bug, make a video of the bug reproducing, fix the bug, make a video of the bug being fixed, like doing the same pattern workflow with obviously the bug not reproducing.And that has been the single category that has gone from like these types of bugs, really hard to reproduce and pick two tons of time locally, even if you try a cloud agent on it. Are you confident it actually fixed it to when this happens? You'll merge it in 90 seconds or something like that.So this is an example where, let me see if this is the broken one or the, okay, this is the fixed one. Okay. So we had a bug on cursor.com/agents where if you would attach images where remove them. Then still submit your prompt. They would actually still get attached to the prompt. Okay. And so here you can see Cursor is using, its full desktop by the way.This is one of the cases where if you just do, browse [00:12:00] use type stuff, you'll have a bad time. ‘cause now it needs to upload files. Like it just uses its native file viewer to do that. And so you can see here it's uploading files. It's going to submit a prompt and then it will go and open up. So this is the meta, this is cursor agent, prompting cursor agent inside its own environment.And so you can see here bug, there's five images attached, whereas when it's submitted, it only had one image.swyx: I see. Yeah. But you gotta enable that if you're gonna use cur agent inside cur.Jonas: Exactly. And so here, this is then the after video where it went, it does the same thing. It attaches images, removes, some of them hit send.And you can see here, once this agent is up, only one of the images is left in the attachments. Yeah.swyx: Beautiful.Jonas: Okay. So easy merge.swyx: So yeah. When does it choose to do this? Because this is an extra step.Jonas: Yes. I think I've not done a great job yet of calibrating the model on when to reproduce these things.Yeah. Sometimes it will do it of its own accord. Yeah. We've been conservative where we try to have it only do it when it's [00:13:00] quite sure because it does add some amount of time to how long it takes it to work on it. But we also have added things like the slash repro command where you can just do, fix this bug slash repro and then it will know that it should first make you a video of it actually finding and making sure it can reproduce the bug.swyx: Yeah. Yeah. One sort of ML topic this ties into is reward hacking, where while you write test that you update only pass. So first write test, it shows me it fails, then make you test pass, which is a classic like red green.Jonas: Yep.swyx: LikeJonas: A-T-D-D-T-D-Dswyx: thing.No, very cool. Was that the last demo? Is thereJonas: Yeah.Anything I missed on the demos or points that you think? I think thatSamantha: covers it well. Yeah.swyx: Cool. Before we stop the screen share, can you gimme like a, just a tour of the slash commands ‘cause I so God ready. Huh, what? What are the good ones?Samantha: Yeah, we wanna increase discoverability around this too.I think that'll be like a future thing we work on. Yeah. But there's definitely a lot of good stuff nowJonas: we have a lot of internal ones that I think will not be that interesting. Here's an internal one that I've made. I don't know if anyone else at Cursor uses this one. Fix bb.Samantha: I've never heard of it.Jonas: Yeah.[00:14:00]Fix Bug Bot. So this is a thing that we want to integrate more tightly on. So you made it forswyx: yourself.Jonas: I made this for myself. It's actually available to everyone in the team, but yeah, no one knows about it. But yeah, there will be Bug bot comments and so Bug Bot has a lot of cool things. We actually just launched Bug Bot Auto Fix, where you can click a button and or change a setting and it will automatically fix its own things, and that works great in a bunch of cases.There are some cases where having the context of the original agent that created the PR is really helpful for fixing the bugs, because it might be like, oh, the bug here is that this, is a regression and actually you meant to do something more like that. And so having the original prompt and all of the context of the agent that worked on it, and so here I could just do, fix or we used to be able to do fixed PB and it would do that.No test is another one that we've had. Slash repro is in here. We mentioned that one.Samantha: One of my favorites is cloud agent diagnosis. This is one that makes heavy use of the Datadog MCP. Okay. And I [00:15:00] think Nick and David on our team wrote, and basically if there is a problem with a cloud agent we'll spin up a bunch of subs.Like a singleswyx: instance.Samantha: Yeah. We'll take the ideas and argument and spin up a bunch of subagents using the Datadog MCP to explore the logs and find like all of the problems that could have happened with that. It takes the debugging time, like from potentially you can do quick stuff quickly with the Datadog ui, but it takes it down to, again, like a single agent call as opposed to trolling through logs yourself.Jonas: You should also talk about the stuff we've done with transcripts.Samantha: Yes. Also so basically we've also done some things internally. There'll be some versions of this as we ship publicly soon, where you can spit up an agent and give it access to another agent's transcript to either basically debug something that happened.So act as an external debugger. I see. Or continue the conversation. Almost like forking it.swyx: A transcript includes all the chain of thought for the 11 minutes here. 45 minutes there.Samantha: Yeah. That way. Exactly. So basically acting as a like secondary agent that debugs the first, so we've started to push more andswyx: they're all the same [00:16:00] code.It is just the different prompts, but the sa the same.Samantha: Yeah. So basically same cloud agent infrastructure and then same harness. And then like when we do things like include, there's some extra infrastructure that goes into piping in like an external transcript if we include it as an attachment.But for things like the cloud agent diagnosis, that's mostly just using the Datadog MCP. ‘Cause we also launched CPS along with along with this cloud agent launch, launch support for cloud agent cps.swyx: Oh, that was drawn out.Jonas: We won't, we'll be doing a bigger marketing moment for it next week, but, and you can now use CPS andswyx: People will listen to it as well.Yeah,Jonas: they'llSamantha: be ahead of the third. They'll be ahead. And I would I actually don't know if the Datadog CP is like publicly available yet. I realize this not sure beta testing it, but it's been one of my favorites to use. Soswyx: I think that one's interesting for Datadog. ‘cause Datadog wants to own that site.Interesting with Bits. I don't know if you've tried bits.Samantha: I haven't tried bits.swyx: Yeah.Jonas: That's their cloud agentswyx: product. Yeah. Yeah. They want to be like we own your logs and give us our, some part of the, [00:17:00] self-healing software that everyone wants. Yeah. But obviously Cursor has a strong opinion on coding agents and you, you like taking away from the which like obviously you're going to do, and not every company's like Cursor, but it's interesting if you're a Datadog, like what do you do here?Do you expose your logs to FDP and let other people do it? Or do you try to own that it because it's extra business for you? Yeah. It's like an interesting one.Samantha: It's a good question. All I know is that I love the Datadog MCP,Jonas: And yeah, it is gonna be no, no surprise that people like will demand it, right?Samantha: Yeah.swyx: It's, it's like anysystemswyx: of record company like this, it's like how much do you give away? Cool. I think that's that for the sort of cloud agents tour. Cool. And we just talk about like cloud agents have been when did Kirsten loves cloud agents? Do you know, in JuneJonas: last year.swyx: June last year. So it's been slowly develop the thing you did, like a bunch of, like Michael did a post where himself, where he like showed this chart of like ages overtaking tap. And I'm like, wow, this is like the biggest transition in code.Jonas: Yeah.swyx: Like in, in [00:18:00] like the last,Jonas: yeah. I think that kind of got turned out.Yeah. I think it's a very interest,swyx: not at all. I think it's been highlighted by our friend Andre Kati today.Jonas: Okay.swyx: Talk more about it. What does it mean? Yeah. Is I just got given like the cursor tab key.Jonas: Yes. Yes.swyx: That's that'sSamantha: cool.swyx: I know, but it's gonna be like put in a museum.Jonas: It is.Samantha: I have to say I haven't used tab a little bit myself.Jonas: Yeah. I think that what it looks like to code with AI code generally creates software, even if you want to go higher level. Is changing very rapidly. No, not a hot take, but I think from our vendor's point at Cursor, I think one of the things that is probably underappreciated from the outside is that we are extremely self-aware about that fact and Kerscher, got its start in phase one, era one of like tab and auto complete.And that was really useful in its time. But a lot of people start looking at text files and editing code, like we call it hand coding. Now when you like type out the actual letters, it'sswyx: oh that's cute.Jonas: Yeah.swyx: Oh that's cute.Jonas: You're so boomer. So boomer. [00:19:00] And so that I think has been a slowly accelerating and now in the last few months, rapidly accelerating shift.And we think that's going to happen again with the next thing where the, I think some of the pains around tab of it's great, but I actually just want to give more to the agent and I don't want to do one tab at a time. I want to just give it a task and it goes off and does a larger unit of work and I can.Lean back a little bit more and operate at that higher level of abstraction that's going to happen again, where it goes from agents handing you back diffs and you're like in the weeds and giving it, 32nd to three minute tasks, to, you're giving it, three minute to 30 minute to three hour tasks and you're getting back videos and trying out previews rather than immediately looking at diffs every single time.swyx: Yeah. Anything to add?Samantha: One other shift that I've noticed as our cloud agents have really taken off internally has been a shift from primarily individually driven development to almost this collaborative nature of development for us, slack is actually almost like a development on [00:20:00] Id basically.So Iswyx: like maybe don't even build a custom ui, like maybe that's like a debugging thing, but actually it's that.Samantha: I feel like, yeah, there's still so much to left to explore there, but basically for us, like Slack is where a lot of development happens. Like we will have these issue channels or just like this product discussion channels where people are always at cursing and that kicks off a cloud agent.And for us at least, we have team follow-ups enabled. So if Jonas kicks off at Cursor in a thread, I can follow up with it and add more context. And so it turns into almost like a discussion service where people can like collaborate on ui. Oftentimes I will kick off an investigation and then sometimes I even ask it to get blame and then tag people who should be brought in. ‘cause it can tag people in Slack and then other people will comeswyx: in, can tag other people who are not involved in conversation. Yes. Can just do at Jonas if say, was talking to,Samantha: yeah.swyx: That's cool. You should, you guys should make a big good deal outta that.Samantha: I know. It's a lot to, I feel like there's a lot more to do with our slack surface area to show people externally. But yeah, basically like it [00:21:00] can bring other people in and then other people can also contribute to that thread and you can end up with a PR again, with the artifacts visible and then people can be like, okay, cool, we can merge this.So for us it's like the ID is almost like moving into Slack in some ways as well.swyx: I have the same experience with, but it's not developers, it's me. Designer salespeople.Samantha: Yeah.swyx: So me on like technical marketing, vision, designer on design and then salespeople on here's the legal source of what we agreed on.And then they all just collaborate and correct. The agents,Jonas: I think that we found when these threads is. The work that is left, that the humans are discussing in these threads is the nugget of what is actually interesting and relevant. It's not the boring details of where does this if statement go?It's do we wanna ship this? Is this the right ux? Is this the right form factor? Yeah. How do we make this more obvious to the user? It's like those really interesting kind of higher order questions that are so easy to collaborate with and leave the implementation to the cloud agent.Samantha: Totally. And no more discussion of am I gonna do this? Are you [00:22:00] gonna do this cursor's doing it? You just have to decide. You like it.swyx: Sometimes the, I don't know if there's a, this probably, you guys probably figured this out already, but since I, you need like a mute button. So like cursor, like we're going to take this offline, but still online.But like we need to talk among the humans first. Before you like could stop responding to everything.Jonas: Yeah. This is a design decision where currently cursor won't chime in unless you explicitly add Mention it. Yeah. Yeah.Samantha: So it's not always listening.Yeah.Jonas: I can see all the intermediate messages.swyx: Have you done the recursive, can cursor add another cursor or spawn another cursor?Samantha: Oh,Jonas: we've done some versions of this.swyx: Because, ‘cause it can add humans.Jonas: Yes. One of the other things we've been working on that's like an implication of generating the code is so easy is getting it to production is still harder than it should be.And broadly, you solve one bottleneck and three new ones pop up. Yeah. And so one of the new bottlenecks is getting into production and we have a like joke internally where you'll be talking about some feature and someone says, I have a PR for that. Which is it's so easy [00:23:00] to get to, I a PR for that, but it's hard still relatively to get from I a PR for that to, I'm confident and ready to merge this.And so I think that over the coming weeks and months, that's a thing that we think a lot about is how do we scale up compute to that pipeline of getting things from a first draft An agent did.swyx: Isn't that what Merge isn't know what graphite's for, likeJonas: graphite is a big part of that. The cloud agent testingswyx: Is it fully integrated or still different companiesJonas: working on I think we'll have more to share there in the future, but the goal is to have great end-to-end experience where Cursor doesn't just help you generate code tokens, it helps you create software end-to-end.And so review is a big part of that, that I think especially as models have gotten much better at writing code, generating code, we've felt that relatively crop up more,swyx: sorry this is completely unplanned, but like there I have people arguing one to you need ai. To review ai and then there is another approach, thought school of thought where it's no, [00:24:00] reviews are dead.Like just show me the video. It's it like,Samantha: yeah. I feel again, for me, the video is often like alignment and then I often still wanna go through a code review process.swyx: Like still look at the files andSamantha: everything. Yeah. There's a spectrum of course. Like the video, if it's really well done and it does like fully like test everything, you can feel pretty competent, but it's still helpful to, to look at the code.I make hep pay a lot of attention to bug bot. I feel like Bug Bot has been a great really highly adopted internally. We often like, won't we tell people like, don't leave bug bot comments unaddressed. ‘cause we have such high confidence in it. So people always address their bug bot comments.Jonas: Once you've had two cases where you merged something and then you went back later, there was a bug in it, you merged, you went back later and you were like, ah, bug Bot had found that I should have listened to Bug Bot.Once that happens two or three times, you learn to wait for bug bot.Samantha: Yeah. So I think for us there's like that code level review where like it's looking at the actual code and then there's like the like feature level review where you're looking at the features. There's like a whole number of different like areas.There'll probably eventually be things like performance level review, security [00:25:00] review, things like that where it's like more more different aspects of how this feature might affect your code base that you want to potentially leverage an agent to help with.Jonas: And some of those like bug bot will be synchronous and you'll typically want to wait on before you merge.But I think another thing that we're starting to see is. As with cloud agents, you scale up this parallelism and how much code you generate. 10 person startups become, need the Devrel X and pipelines that a 10,000 person company used to need. And that looks like a lot of the things I think that 10,000 person companies invented in order to get that volume of software to production safely.So that's things like, release frequently or release slowly, have different stages where you release, have checkpoints, automated ways of detecting regressions. And so I think we're gonna need stacks merg stack diffs merge queues. Exactly. A lot of those things are going to be importantswyx: forward with.I think the majority of people still don't know what stack stacks are. And I like, I have many friends in Facebook and like I, I'm pretty friendly with graphite. I've just, [00:26:00] I've never needed it ‘cause I don't work on that larger team and it's just like democratization of no, only here's what we've already worked out at very large scale and here's how you can, it benefits you too.Like I think to me, one of the beautiful things about GitHub is that. It's actually useful to me as an individual solo developer, even though it's like actually collaboration software.Jonas: Yep.swyx: And I don't think a lot of Devrel tools have figured that out yet. That transition from like large down to small.Jonas: Yeah. Kers is probably an inverse story.swyx: This is small down toJonas: Yeah. Where historically Kers share, part of why we grew so quickly was anyone on the team could pick it up and in fact people would pick it up, on the weekend for their side project and then bring it into work. ‘cause they loved using it so much.swyx: Yeah.Jonas: And I think a thing that we've started working on a lot more, not us specifically, but as a company and other folks at Cursor, is making it really great for teams and making it the, the 10th person that starts using Cursor in a team. Is immediately set up with things like, we launched Marketplace recently so other people can [00:27:00] configure what CPS and skills like plugins.So skills and cps, other people can configure that. So that my cursor is ready to go and set up. Sam loves the Datadog, MCP and Slack, MCP you've also been using a lot butSamantha: also pre-launch, but I feel like it's so good.Jonas: Yeah, my cursor should be configured if Sam feels strongly that's just amazing and required.swyx: Is it automatically shared or you have to go and.Jonas: It depends on the MCP. So some are obviously off per user. Yeah. And so Sam can't off my cursor with my Slack MCP, but some are team off and those can be set up by admins.swyx: Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah, I think, we had a man on the pod when cursor was five people, and like everyone was like, okay, what's the thing?And then it's usually something teams and org and enterprise, but it's actually working. But like usually at that stage when you're five, when you're just a vs. Code fork it's like how do you get there? Yeah. Will people pay for this? People do pay for it.Jonas: Yeah. And I think for cloud agents, we expect.[00:28:00]To have similar kind of PLG things where I think off the bat we've seen a lot of adoption with kind of smaller teams where the code bases are not quite as complex to set up. Yes. If you need some insane docker layer caching thing for builds not to take two hours, that's going to take a little bit longer for us to be able to support that kind of infrastructure.Whereas if you have front end backend, like one click agents can install everything that they need themselves.swyx: This is a good chance for me to just ask some technical sort of check the box questions. Can I choose the size of the vm?Jonas: Not yet. We are planning on adding that. Weswyx: have, this is obviously you want like LXXL, whatever, right?Like it's like the Amazon like sort menu.Jonas: Yes, exactly. We'll add that.swyx: Yeah. In some ways you have to basically become like a EC2, almost like you rent a box.Jonas: You rent a box. Yes. We talk a lot about brain in a box. Yeah. So cursor, we want to be a brain in a box,swyx: but is the mental model different? Is it more serverless?Is it more persistent? Is. Something else.Samantha: We want it to be a bit persistent. The desktop should be [00:29:00] something you can return to af even after some days. Like maybe you go back, they're like still thinking about a feature for some period of time. So theswyx: full like sus like suspend the memory and bring it back and then keep going.Samantha: Exactly.swyx: That's an interesting one because what I actually do want, like from a manna and open crawl, whatever, is like I want to be able to log in with my credentials to the thing, but not actually store it in any like secret store, whatever. ‘cause it's like this is the, my most sensitive stuff.Yeah. This is like my email, whatever. And just have it like, persist to the image. I don't know how it was hood, but like to rehydrate and then just keep going from there. But I don't think a lot of infra works that way. A lot of it's stateless where like you save it to a docker image and then it's only whatever you can describe in a Docker file and that's it.That's the only thing you can cl multiple times in parallel.Jonas: Yeah. We have a bunch of different ways of setting them up. So there's a dockerfile based approach. The main default way is actually snapshottingswyx: like a Linux vmJonas: like vm, right? You run a bunch of install commands and then you snapshot more or less the file system.And so that gets you set up for everything [00:30:00] that you would want to bring a new VM up from that template basically.swyx: Yeah.Jonas: And that's a bit distinct from what Sam was talking about with the hibernating and re rehydrating where that is a full memory snapshot as well. So there, if I had like the browser open to a specific page and we bring that back, that page will still be there.swyx: Was there any discussion internally and just building this stuff about every time you shoot a video it's actually you show a little bit of the desktop and the browser and it's not necessary if you just show the browser. If, if you know you're just demoing a front end application.Why not just show the browser, right? Like it Yeah,Samantha: we do have some panning and zooming. Yeah. Like it can decide that when it's actually recording and cutting the video to highlight different things. I think we've played around with different ways of segmenting it and yeah. There's been some different revs on it for sure.Jonas: Yeah. I think one of the interesting things is the version that you see now in cursor.com actually is like half of what we had at peak where we decided to unshift or unshipped quite a few things. So two of the interesting things to talk about, one is directly an answer to your [00:31:00] question where we had native browser that you would have locally, it was basically an iframe that via port forwarding could load the URL could talk to local host in the vm.So that gets you basically, so inswyx: your machine's browser,likeJonas: in your local browser? Yeah. You would go to local host 4,000 and that would get forwarded to local host 4,000 in the VM via port forward. We unshift that like atswyx: Eng Rock.Jonas: Like an Eng Rock. Exactly. We unshift that because we felt that the remote desktop was sufficiently low latency and more general purpose.So we build Cursor web, but we also build Cursor desktop. And so it's really useful to be able to have the full spectrum of things. And even for Cursor Web, as you saw in one of the examples, the agent was uploading files and like I couldn't upload files and open the file viewer if I only had access to the browser.And we've thought a lot about, this might seem funny coming from Cursor where we started as this, vs. Code Fork and I think inherited a lot of amazing things, but also a lot [00:32:00] of legacy UI from VS Code.Minimal Web UI SurfacesJonas: And so with the web UI we wanted to be very intentional about keeping that very minimal and exposing the right sum of set of primitive sort of app surfaces we call them, that are shared features of that cloud.Environment that you and the agent both use. So agent uses desktop and controls it. I can use desktop and controlled agent runs terminal commands. I can run terminal commands. So that's how our philosophy around it. The other thing that is maybe interesting to talk about that we unshipped is and we may, both of these things we may reship and decide at some point in the future that we've changed our minds on the trade offs or gotten it to a point where, putswyx: it out there.Let users tell you they want it. Exactly. Alright, fine.Why No File EditorJonas: So one of the other things is actually a files app. And so we used to have the ability at one point during the process of testing this internally to see next to, I had GID desktop and terminal on the right hand side of the tab there earlier to also have a files app where you could see and edit files.And we actually felt that in some [00:33:00] ways, by restricting and limiting what you could do there, people would naturally leave more to the agent and fall into this new pattern of delegating, which we thought was really valuable. And there's currently no way in Cursor web to edit these files.swyx: Yeah. Except you like open up the PR and go into GitHub and do the thing.Jonas: Yeah.swyx: Which is annoying.Jonas: Just tell the agent,swyx: I have criticized open AI for this. Because Open AI is Codex app doesn't have a file editor, like it has file viewer, but isn't a file editor.Jonas: Do you use the file viewer a lot?swyx: No. I understand, but like sometimes I want it, the one way to do it is like freaking going to no, they have a open in cursor button or open an antigravity or, opening whatever and people pointed that.So I was, I was part of the early testers group people pointed that and they were like, this is like a design smell. It's like you actually want a VS. Code fork that has all these things, but also a file editor. And they were like, no, just trust us.Jonas: Yeah. I think we as Cursor will want to, as a product, offer the [00:34:00] whole spectrum and so you want to be able to.Work at really high levels of abstraction and double click and see the lowest level. That's important. But I also think that like you won't be doing that in Slack. And so there are surfaces and ways of interacting where in some cases limiting the UX capabilities makes for a cleaner experience that's more simple and drives people into these new patterns where even locally we kicked off joking about this.People like don't really edit files, hand code anymore. And so we want to build for where that's going and not where it's beenswyx: a lot of cool stuff. And Okay. I have a couple more.Full Stack Hosting Debateswyx: So observations about the design elements about these things. One of the things that I'm always thinking about is cursor and other peers of cursor start from like the Devrel tools and work their way towards cloud agents.Other people, like the lovable and bolts of the world start with here's like the vibe code. Full cloud thing. They were already cloud edges before anyone else cloud edges and we will give you the full deploy platform. So we own the whole loop. We own all the infrastructure, we own, we, we have the logs, we have the the live site, [00:35:00] whatever.And you can do that cycle cursor doesn't own that cycle even today. You don't have the versal, you don't have the, you whatever deploy infrastructure that, that you're gonna have, which gives you powers because anyone can use it. And any enterprise who, whatever you infra, I don't care. But then also gives you limitations as to how much you can actually fully debug end to end.I guess I'm just putting out there that like is there a future where there's like full stack cursor where like cursor apps.com where like I host my cursor site this, which is basically a verse clone, right? I don't know.Jonas: I think that's a interesting question to be asking, and I think like the logic that you laid out for how you would get there is logic that I largely agree with.swyx: Yeah. Yeah.Jonas: I think right now we're really focused on what we see as the next big bottleneck and because things like the Datadog MCP exist, yeah. I don't think that the best way we can help our customers ship more software. Is by building a hosting solution right now,swyx: by the way, these are things I've actually discussed with some of the companies I just named.Jonas: Yeah, for sure. Right now, just this big bottleneck is getting the code out there and also [00:36:00] unlike a lovable in the bolt, we focus much more on existing software. And the zero to one greenfield is just a very different problem. Imagine going to a Shopify and convincing them to deploy on your deployment solution.That's very different and I think will take much longer to see how that works. May never happen relative to, oh, it's like a zero to one app.swyx: I'll say. It's tempting because look like 50% of your apps are versal, superb base tailwind react it's the stack. It's what everyone does.So I it's kinda interesting.Jonas: Yeah.Model Choice and Auto Routingswyx: The other thing is the model select dying. Right now in cloud agents, it's stuck down, bottom left. Sure it's Codex High today, but do I care if it's suddenly switched to Opus? Probably not.Samantha: We definitely wanna give people a choice across models because I feel like it, the meta change is very frequently.I was a big like Opus 4.5 Maximalist, and when codex 5.3 came out, I hard, hard switch. So that's all I use now.swyx: Yeah. Agreed. I don't know if, but basically like when I use it in Slack, [00:37:00] right? Cursor does a very good job of exposing yeah. Cursors. If people go use it, here's the model we're using.Yeah. Here's how you switch if you want. But otherwise it's like extracted away, which is like beautiful because then you actually, you should decide.Jonas: Yeah, I think we want to be doing more with defaults.swyx: Yeah.Jonas: Where we can suggest things to people. A thing that we have in the editor, the desktop app is auto, which will route your request and do things there.So I think we will want to do something like that for cloud agents as well. We haven't done it yet. And so I think. We have both people like Sam, who are very savvy and want know exactly what model they want, and we also have people that want us to pick the best model for them because we have amazing people like Sam and we, we are the experts.Yeah. We have both the traffic and the internal taste and experience to know what we think is best.swyx: Yeah. I have this ongoing pieces of agent lab versus model lab. And to me, cursor and other companies are example of an agent lab that is, building a new playbook that is different from a model lab where it's like very GP heavy Olo.So obviously has a research [00:38:00] team. And my thesis is like you just, every agent lab is going to have a router because you're going to be asked like, what's what. I don't keep up to every day. I'm not a Sam, I don't keep up every day for using you as sample the arm arbitrator of taste. Put me on CRI Auto.Is it free? It's not free.Jonas: Auto's not free, but there's different pricing tiers. Yeah.swyx: Put me on Chris. You decide from me based on all the other people you know better than me. And I think every agent lab should basically end up doing this because that actually gives you extra power because you like people stop carrying or having loyalty with one lab.Jonas: Yeah.Best Of N and Model CouncilsJonas: Two other maybe interesting things that I don't know how much they're on your radar are one the best event thing we mentioned where running different models head to head is actually quite interesting becauseswyx: which exists in cursor.Jonas: That exists in cur ID and web. So the problem is where do you run them?swyx: Okay.Jonas: And so I, I can share my screen if that's interesting. Yeahinteresting.swyx: Yeah. Yeah. Obviously parallel agents, very popal.Jonas: Yes, exactly. Parallel agentsswyx: in you mind. Are they the same thing? Best event and parallel agents? I don't want to [00:39:00] put words in your mouth.Jonas: Best event is a subset of parallel agents where they're running on the same prompt.That would be my answer. So this is what that looks like. And so here in this dropdown picker, I can just select multiple models.swyx: Yeah.Jonas: And now if I do a prompt, I'm going to do something silly. I am running these five models.swyx: Okay. This is this fake clone, of course. The 2.0 yeah.Jonas: Yes, exactly. But they're running so the cursor 2.0, you can do desktop or cloud.So this is cloud specifically where the benefit over work trees is that they have their own VMs and can run commands and won't try to kill ports that the other one is running. Which are some of the pains. These are allswyx: called work trees?Jonas: No, these are all cloud agents with their own VMs.swyx: Okay. ButJonas: When you do it locally, sometimes people do work trees and that's been the main way that people have set out parallel so far.I've gotta say.swyx: That's so confusing for folks.Jonas: Yeah.swyx: No one knows what work trees are.Jonas: Exactly. I think we're phasing out work trees.swyx: Really.Jonas: Yeah.swyx: Okay.Samantha: But yeah. And one other thing I would say though on the multimodel choice, [00:40:00] so this is another experiment that we ran last year and the decide to ship at that time but may come back to, and there was an interesting learning that's relevant for, these different model providers. It was something that would run a bunch of best of ends but then synthesize and basically run like a synthesizer layer of models. And that was other agents that would take LM Judge, but one that was also agentic and could write code. So it wasn't just picking but also taking the learnings from two models or, and models that it was looking at and writing a new diff.And what we found was that at the time at least, there were strengths to using models from different model providers as the base level of this process. Like basically you could get almost like a synergistic output that was better than having a very unified, like bottom model tier. So it was really interesting ‘cause it's like potentially, even though even in the future when you have like maybe one model as ahead of the other for a little bit, there could be some benefit from having like multiple top tier models involved in like a [00:41:00] model swarm or whatever agent Swarm that you're doing, that they each have strengths and weaknesses.Yeah.Jonas: Andre called this the council, right?Samantha: Yeah, exactly. We actually, oh, that's another internal command we have that Ian wrote slash council. Oh, and they some, yeah.swyx: Yes. This idea is in various forms everywhere. And I think for me, like for me, the productization of it, you guys have done yeah, like this is very flexible, but.If I were to add another Yeah, what your thing is on here it would be too much. I what, let's say,Samantha: Ideally it's all, it's something that the user can just choose and it all happens under the hood in a way where like you just get the benefit of that process at the end and better output basically, but don't have to get too lost in the complexity of judging along the way.Jonas: Okay.Subagents for ContextJonas: Another thing on the many agents, on different parallel agents that's interesting is an idea that's been around for a while as well that has started working recently is subagents. And so this is one other way to get agents of the different prompts and different goals and different models, [00:42:00] different vintages to work together.Collaborate and delegate.swyx: Yeah. I'm very like I like one of my, I always looking for this is the year of the blah, right? Yeah. I think one of the things on the blahs is subs. I think this is of but I haven't used them in cursor. Are they fully formed or how do I honestly like an intro because do I form them from new every time?Do I have fixed subagents? How are they different for slash commands? There's all these like really basic questions that no one stops to answer for people because everyone's just like too busy launching. We have toSamantha: honestly, you could, you can see them in cursor now if you just say spin up like 50 subagents to, so cursor definesswyx: what Subagents.Yeah.Samantha: Yeah. So basically I think I shouldn't speak for the whole subagents team. This is like a different team that's been working on this, but our thesis or thing that we saw internally is that like they're great for context management for kind of long running threads, or if you're trying to just throw more compute at something.We have strongly used, almost like a generic task interface where then the main agent can define [00:43:00] like what goes into the subagent. So if I say explore my code base, it might decide to spin up an explore subagent and or might decide to spin up five explore subagent.swyx: But I don't get to set what those subagent are, right?It's all defined by a model.Samantha: I think. I actually would have to refresh myself on the sub agent interface.Jonas: There are some built-in ones like the explore subagent is free pre-built. But you can also instruct the model to use other subagents and then it will. And one other example of a built-in subagent is I actually just kicked one off in cursor and I can show you what that looks like.swyx: Yes. Because I tried to do this in pure prompt space.Jonas: So this is the desktop app? Yeah. Yeah. And that'sswyx: all you need to do, right? Yeah.Jonas: That's all you need to do. So I said use a sub agent to explore and I think, yeah, so I can even click in and see what the subagent is working on here. It ran some fine command and this is a composer under the hood.Even though my main model is Opus, it does smart routing to take, like in this instance the explorer sort of requires reading a ton of things. And so a faster model is really useful to get an [00:44:00] answer quickly, but that this is what subagent look like. And I think we wanted to do a lot more to expose hooks and ways for people to configure these.Another example of a cus sort of builtin subagent is the computer use subagent in the cloud agents, where we found that those trajectories can be long and involve a lot of images obviously, and execution of some testing verification task. We wanted to use that models that are particularly good at that.So that's one reason to use subagents. And then the other reason to use subagents is we want contexts to be summarized reduced down at a subagent level. That's a really neat boundary at which to compress that rollout and testing into a final message that agent writes that then gets passed into the parent rather than having to do some global compaction or something like that.swyx: Awesome. Cool. While we're in the subagents conversation, I can't do a cursor conversation and not talk about listen stuff. What is that? What is what? He built a browser. He built an os. Yes. And he [00:45:00] experimented with a lot of different architectures and basically ended up reinventing the software engineer org chart.This is all cool, but what's your take? What's, is there any hole behind the side? The scenes stories about that kind of, that whole adventure.Samantha: Some of those experiments have found their way into a feature that's available in cloud agents now, the long running agent mode internally, we call it grind mode.And I think there's like some hint of grind mode accessible in the picker today. ‘cause you can do choose grind until done. And so that was really the result of experiments that Wilson started in this vein where he I think the Ralph Wigga loop was like floating around at the time, but it was something he also independently found and he was experimenting with.And that was what led to this product surface.swyx: And it is just simple idea of have criteria for completion and do not. Until you complete,Samantha: there's a bit more complexity as well in, in our implementation. Like there's a specific, you have to start out by aligning and there's like a planning stage where it will work with you and it will not get like start grind execution mode until it's decided that the [00:46:00] plan is amenable to both of you.Basically,swyx: I refuse to work until you make me happy.Jonas: We found that it's really important where people would give like very underspecified prompt and then expect it to come back with magic. And if it's gonna go off and work for three minutes, that's one thing. When it's gonna go off and work for three days, probably should spend like a few hours upfront making sure that you have communicated what you actually want.swyx: Yeah. And just to like really drive from the point. We really mean three days that No, noJonas: human. Oh yeah. We've had three day months innovation whatsoever.Samantha: I don't know what the record is, but there's been a long time with the grantsJonas: and so the thing that is available in cursor. The long running agent is if you wanna think about it, very abstractly that is like one worker node.Whereas what built the browser is a society of workers and planners and different agents collaborating. Because we started building the browser with one worker node at the time, that was just the agent. And it became one worker node when we realized that the throughput of the system was not where it needed to be [00:47:00] to get something as large of a scale as the browser done.swyx: Yeah.Jonas: And so this has also become a really big mental model for us with cloud, cloud agents is there's the classic engineering latency throughput trade-offs. And so you know, the code is water flowing through a pipe. The, we think that over the coming months, the big unlock is not going to be one person with a model getting more done, like the water flowing faster and we'll be making the pipe much wider and so ing more, whether that's swarms of agents or parallel agents, both of those are things that contribute to getting.Much more done in the same amount of time, but any one of those tasks doesn't necessarily need to get done that quickly. And throughput is this really big thing where if you see the system of a hundred concurrent agents outputting thousands of tokens a second, you can't go back like that.Just you see a glimpse of the future where obviously there are many caveats. Like no one is using this browser. IRL. There's like a bunch of things not quite right yet, but we are going to get to systems that produce real production [00:48:00] code at the scale much sooner than people think. And it forces you to think what even happens to production systems. Like we've broken our GitHub actions recently because we have so many agents like producing and pushing code that like CICD is just overloaded. ‘cause suddenly it's like effectively weg grew, cursor's growing very quickly anyway, but you grow head count, 10 x when people run 10 x as many agents.And so a lot of these systems, exactly, a lot of these systems will need to adapt.swyx: It also reminds me, we, we all, the three of us live in the app layer, but if you talk to the researchers who are doing RL infrastructure, it's the same thing. It's like all these parallel rollouts and scheduling them and making sure as much throughput as possible goes through them.Yeah, it's the same thing.Jonas: We were talking briefly before we started recording. You were mentioning memory chips and some of the shortages there. The other thing that I think is just like hard to wrap your head around the scale of the system that was building the browser, the concurrency there.If Sam and I both have a system like that running for us, [00:49:00] shipping our software. The amount of inference that we're going to need per developer is just really mind-boggling. And that makes, sometimes when I think about that, I think that even with, the most optimistic projections for what we're going to need in terms of buildout, our underestimating, the extent to which these swarm systems can like churn at scale to produce code that is valuable to the economy.And,swyx: yeah, you can cut this if it's sensitive, but I was just Do you have estimates of how much your token consumption is?Jonas: Like per developer?swyx: Yeah. Or yourself. I don't need like comfy average. I just curious. ISamantha: feel like I, for a while I wasn't an admin on the usage dashboard, so I like wasn't able to actually see, but it was a,swyx: mine has gone up.Samantha: Oh yeah.swyx: But I thinkSamantha: it's in terms of how much work I'm doing, it's more like I have no worries about developers losing their jobs, at least in the near term. ‘cause I feel like that's a more broad discussion.swyx: Yeah. Yeah. You went there. I didn't go, I wasn't going there.I was just like how much more are you using?Samantha: There's so much stuff to be built. And so I feel like I'm basically just [00:50:00] trying to constantly I have more ambitions than I did before. Yes. Personally. Yes. So can't speak to the broader thing. But for me it's like I'm busier than ever before.I'm using more tokens and I am also doing more things.Jonas: Yeah. Yeah. I don't have the stats for myself, but I think broadly a thing that we've seen, that we expect to continue is J'S paradox. Whereswyx: you can't do it in our podcast without seeingJonas: it. Exactly. We've done it. Now we can wrap. We've done, we said the words.Phase one tab auto complete people paid like 20 bucks a month. And that was great. Phase two where you were iterating with these local models. Today people pay like hundreds of dollars a month. I think as we think about these highly parallel kind of agents running off for a long times in their own VM system, we are already at that point where people will be spending thousands of dollars a month per human, and I think potentially tens of thousands and beyond, where it's not like we are greedy for like capturing more money, but what happens is just individuals get that much more leverage.And if one person can do as much as 10 people, yeah. That tool that allows ‘em to do that is going to be tremendously valuable [00:51:00] and worth investing in and taking the best thing that exists.swyx: One more question on just the cursor in general and then open-ended for you guys to plug whatever you wanna put.How is Cursor hiring these days?Samantha: What do you mean by how?swyx: So obviously lead code is dead. Oh,Samantha: okay.swyx: Everyone says work trial. Different people have different levels of adoption of agents. Some people can really adopt can be much more productive. But other people, you just need to give them a little bit of time.And sometimes they've never lived in a token rich place like cursor.And once you live in a token rich place, you're you just work differently. But you need to have done that. And a lot of people anyway, it was just open-ended. Like how has agentic engineering, agentic coding changed your opinions on hiring?Is there any like broad like insights? Yeah.Jonas: Basically I'm asking this for other people, right? Yeah, totally. Totally. To hear Sam's opinion, we haven't talked about this the two of us. I think that we don't see necessarily being great at the latest thing with AI coding as a prerequisite.I do think that's a sign that people are keeping up and [00:52:00] curious and willing to upscale themselves in what's happening because. As we were talking about the last three months, the game has completely changed. It's like what I do all day is very different.swyx: Like it's my job and I can't,Jonas: Yeah, totally.I do think that still as Sam was saying, the fundamentals remain important in the current age and being able to go and double click down. And models today do still have weaknesses where if you let them run for too long without cleaning up and refactoring, the coke will get sloppy and there'll be bad abstractions.And so you still do need humans that like have built systems before, no good patterns when they see them and know where to steer things.Samantha: I would agree with that. I would say again, cursor also operates very quickly and leveraging ag agentic engineering is probably one reason why that's possible in this current moment.I think in the past it was just like people coding quickly and now there's like people who use agents to move faster as well. So it's part of our process will always look for we'll select for kind of that ability to make good decisions quickly and move well in this environment.And so I think being able to [00:53:00] figure out how to use agents to help you do that is an important part of it too.swyx: Yeah. Okay. The fork in the road, either predictions for the end of the year, if you have any, or PUDs.Jonas: Evictions are not going to go well.Samantha: I know it's hard.swyx: They're so hard. Get it wrong.It's okay. Just, yeah.Jonas: One other plug that may be interesting that I feel like we touched on but haven't talked a ton about is a thing that the kind of these new interfaces and this parallelism enables is the ability to hop back and forth between threads really quickly. And so a thing that we have,swyx: you wanna show something or,Jonas: yeah, I can show something.A thing that we have felt with local agents is this pain around contact switching. And you have one agent that went off and did some work and another agent that, that did something else. And so here by having, I just have three tabs open, let's say, but I can very quickly, hop in here.This is an example I showed earlier, but the actual workflow here I think is really different in a way that may not be obvious, where, I start t
