A major Space Mountain refurbishment may be under consideration at Walt Disney World, and the rumor has Disney fans wondering how much of the classic attraction could change. Lauren and Eric break down reports of a possible retrack, redesigned queue and loading areas, updated ride vehicles, and new audio. They also discuss what an extended closure could mean for the PeopleMover and the larger future of Tomorrowland. Then, inspired by Space Mountain's notoriously rough ride, they compare the Disney attractions most likely to leave guests sore, dizzy, or searching for a chiropractor. HIGHLIGHTS • The latest rumor surrounding a major Space Mountain refurbishment at Walt Disney World. • What a possible retrack, redesigned queue, updated vehicles, and new audio could mean for the attraction. • Why fans want Disney to preserve Space Mountain's music, atmosphere, and classic Tomorrowland identity. • How an extended Space Mountain closure could affect the PeopleMover. • Whether Disney could add Star Wars, WALL-E, or another intellectual property to the ride. • Space Mountain, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Dinosaur, and Goofy's Sky School compete for Disney's roughest ride. • Mission: SPACE, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Smugglers Run, and Summit Plummet also earn painful reputations.

Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture With the release of Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" arriving in theaters, our 2008 retrospective revisits his comic book action film that not only re-defined the genre, but changed the whole industry up until the Oscar nominations where it forced the Academy to expand the Best Picture lineup for the first time in decades, "The Dark Knight," starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman. Co-written with his brother Jonathan Nolan, the world had never seen a comic book film quite like Christopher Nolan's crime epic. Marked by the untimely passing of Heath Ledger before its release, the film had a tremendous amount of hype surrounding it during the summer of 2008 and continues to be talked about till this day for Ledger's iconic, Academy Award-winning performance, Nolan's grounded realism borrowing from other crime classics such as "Heat," the film's politics and how it directly commented on the Patriot Act, its themes of escalation, chaos, vigilantism and more! How does it hold up nearly 20 years later? Please tune in as Alyssa Christian, Josh Parham, Amy Kim, Brendan Hodges, and I talk about the film's screenplay, Nolan's direction, the performances, the action sequences, the film's historic awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast — CodeGen, Agents, Computer Vision, Data Science, AI UX and all things Software 3.0

Imagine a dark warehouse. Racks and racks of devices with wires, tubes, and electronics sticking out. The next AI data center? No. This is Lila Sciences‘ dream for the future of science. A dark warehouse full of AI-guided robotics and lab equipment, cranking out new experiments 24/7, building toward a scientific superintelligence.Their automated lab is almost hypnotizing to watch. They have floating plates zipping around on Wall-E-esque tracks, used vision-language models to control Windows 95 boxes, and created the world's largest collection of voided warranties. In the process they've built a massive library of scientific reasoning tokens. Over 10 trillion of them, all experimentally validated.No warranties were voided in the making of this videoTo say Lila is ambitious is an understatement. Their goal is a scientific superintelligence wired directly into the wet lab. They are all in on the bitter lesson, and the thesis follows from it: a lab is an infinite token generator. Produce data at scale, and the synergies give you a general reasoner that can tackle any scientific problem. They are committing hard. Biology, chemistry, drug discovery, and materials science, all at the same time. Time will tell if it works, but it is an exciting hypothesis.In our latest episode we sat down with Lila's very own Andy Beam (CTO) and Rafa Gómez-Bombarelli (CSO, physical sciences) and went on a journey through the possibilities of AI-run science, almost as wide-ranging as Lila's goals.Did we mention they do both materials science and biology? In the same AI science factory? Same time, same lab, same AI. Finally a guest who can settle a long-running debate we've had amongst ourselves: is biology or materials science harder?Watch to find out!We discuss:* The internet is spent, science is next. Why Lila thinks the scientific method is the last untapped internet-scale dataset, and why they treat RL as a data generation mechanism with nature as the verifier.* The lab as a data center. Instruments as nodes on a graph, a magnetically levitating “PCI bus” transport layer between them, orchestration as a slurm queue. Andy is not short on analogies.* Why Lila insists it is not an automation company. They optimize for flexibility and generalizability over raw throughput, which means humans stay below the API line wherever automating does not pay.* Your experiment has a runtime. We put Escalante Bio's question to Andy: if science is the token generator, what is the runtime of your data collection? His answer, in short, is that you cannot make the ribosome go faster. Why Lila bets on fast round-over-round iteration rather than big noisy multiplexed screens, and how Rafa's team rebuilt a gas sorption measurement to run roughly 2,500x faster.* What is actually in 10 trillion scientific tokens. Not sequences. Experimentally verified reasoning traces, a kind of data that Andy argues exists on the internet in quantities that round to zero.* Breadth as a path to depth. Small molecule chemistry priors transferring to metal organic frameworks for carbon capture, and the claim that the general model beats domain-specific models sample for sample.* If you have the data, what do you need the model for? Sri Kosuri's koan about the ML-for-drug-discovery business model, and Andy's answer: the coding model got better because it also read Shakespeare and carnitas recipes.* The serendipity they want to automate. Emily Whitehead survived the first pediatric CAR-T cure only because the doctor treating her happened to know, from pediatric arthritis, which antibody would blunt her IL-6 response. Roll that dice again and you probably lose her. Breadth is how you stop depending on luck.* Move 37 for catalysts. Model suggestions for platinum-group-free electrocatalysts that went from boring, to what a 40-paper expert called stupid, to the best performers they have made.* Six months to in vivo CAR-T data in non-human primates, and the zero-FTE virtual startup commercial model that fell out of it. For context on why that number is startling, AbbVie paid $2.1B for Capstan on the strength of preclinical in vivo CAR-T data.* You cannot have scientific superintelligence if you are just a good test taker. Ken Stanley, who wrote Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned, runs open-endedness at Lila. RL at scale gives you a ruthlessly Vulcan problem solver. Machine creativity is a different thing, and it is the part nobody has solved.* The chain of thought is an unreliable narrator. The model reasons in latent space and only emits tokens. Sometimes it skips the experiment entirely and is still right. So how much do you trust the reasoning versus the verifier?* Reward hacking when the rollout is physical. Chains of thought that collapse into repetition, and a model that got annoyed and swore at the scientist who kept asking it to redo a plate map. What happens when a pathological loop has a wet lab inside it?* The bittersweet lesson. Rafa's inversion of the bitter lesson: in AI, scaling is a roadmap. In materials, scaling is a filter, because only the things that scale end up mattering.* Not your typical Flagship company. Why a famously single-asset biotech incubator spun out a platform bet, and Andy's line that if Lila called itself a biopharma it would have a top-three GPU cluster.* Bottlenecks they would remove by fiat. Sim-to-real for physics-based simulation, and the fact that RL training runs at roughly 5% mean FLOP utilization.Watch on YouTube: This is a public episode.

[School of Movies 2026] After the 2022 failure ($226m on a $200m budget) of Lightyear to succesfully spin-off from the main Toy Story franchise (and we did a show about that at the time), they went back to the billion-dollar well that is the direct link to so many warm feelings across multiple generations. And here they finally tackle the issue of tech, tablets (and the strangely absent phones and even video games) and their role in drawing modern children's attention away from their traditional toys. This felt like it was a long time coming and (especially after covering WALL-E for MA.I.) I had built up in my head a hard-hitting critique of not only losing our kids to glowing screens, but losing ourselves. And from the glowing critical acclaim this has received across the board (92% freshness and 95% audience score) I appear to be wildly out of step with contemporary critics and cinemagoers.

Boris Vallaud est un politique, Président du parti socialiste, président du groupe socialiste à l'Assemblée nationale, député des Landes et auteur de Nos vies ne sont pas des marchandises. Il vient de démissionner de la présidence du groupe PS au moment où on enregistre cet épisode.Je dois être honnête, ce n'est pas un hasard qu'en 9 ans de podcast je n'ai jamais invité de politiques encore ou presque.Ce n'est paspar désintérêt puisque les sujets que je traite sont profondément politiques. Mais parce que je voulais que ça soit une vraie conversation, pas une interview de promo, pas des éléments de langage, pas du positionnement de campagne. Je voulais qu'on parle de ce qui m'intéresse vraiment : pourquoi la société se fragmente, pourquoi les gens votent pour des gens qui ne défendent pas leurs intérêts, pourquoi la démocratie est sous pression, et ce qu'on peut y faire concrètement.Avec Boris, ça a marché j'ai l'impression mais je me méfie de mes propres incompétences à mettre en difficulté un politique en même temps. Le livre part d'une idée simple et tranchante, celle que l'on vit dans une immense boutique. Tout est à vendre, de la petite enfance jusqu'au grand âge, de notre attention jusqu'à notre imaginaire. Et cette colonisation est d'autant plus efficace qu'elle est silencieuse, on ne voit pas l'avant et l'après. Il existe une normalisation progressive de l'idée que tout a un prix, que tout se marchande, et que si vous ne pouvez pas payer, c'est votre problème.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de ça, mais aussi de ce que ça produit politiquement. Parce que la marchandisation ne détruit pas que les services publics, elle détruit les liens, crée des épidémies de solitude, fragmente les territoires, et au bout, elle crée un appel d'air pour ceux que Boris appelle les "marchands d'ordre". Et la convergence Trump-Musk qu'on voit se déployer en ce moment, c'est exactement ça : quand le marché a tout pris, la dernière chose à acheter, c'est la démocratie elle-même.J'ai questionné Boris Vallaud sur la fiscalité des milliardaires où les 500 plus grandes fortunes françaises représentent 40% du PIB contre 12% il y a vingt ans, et où le taux d'effort fiscal des milliardaires est inférieur à celui de quelqu'un qui entre dans la première tranche de l'impôt sur le revenu. Nous parlons de la réforme des retraites et de pourquoi certaines réformes qui semblent économiquement solides se fracassent politiquement. Nous parlons de désindustrialisation — et de qui en est responsable, les politiques ou les dirigeants d'entreprise qui ont théorisé "la France sans usines". Nous parlons d'intelligence artificielle comme révolution industrielle que la classe politique n'a pas encore vraiment regardée en face. Nous parlons d'écologie, d'agriculture, et de pourquoi la transition est vécue comme une menace par ceux qui ont le moins de marge de manœuvre. Et nous parlons des angles morts de la gauche — Boris les nomme lui-même, sans esquiver.Ce qui m'a frappé dans cet épisode, c'est quelque chose que je n'attendais pas : son rapport aux gens qui votent contre ce qu'il représente. Il ne les méprise pas. Il dit qu'il les connaît, qu'ils sont bien, qu'il leur donne raison sur beaucoup de choses. Et que c'est ça qui lui donne envie de continuer malgré tout — pas la conviction d'avoir raison, mais la conviction que les gens méritent mieux que ce qu'on leur propose.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de marchandisation, de services publics, de retraites, de désindustrialisation, de fiscalité, d'intelligence artificielle, d'écologie, de démocratie et de réseaux sociaux, de la gauche et de ses angles morts, et de ce que "représenter" veut vraiment dire quand on passe ses vendredis en permanence dans les Landes.Citations marquantes> "On vit dans une immense boutique. Tout est à vendre, de la petite enfance jusqu'au grand âge, jusqu'à soi-même, jusqu'à son imaginaire, jusqu'à sa conscience."> "C'est une avancée plus subreptice mais plus certaine qu'un coup d'état. Précisément parce qu'on ne voit pas l'avant et l'après. Et puis on se retrouve soi-même marchandise, au milieu de codes qui sont ceux du marché."> "Quand on abandonne la société au marché, la dernière Bastille à prendre, c'est la démocratie."> "Les milliardaires ont un taux d'effort fiscal inférieur à celui de quelqu'un qui entre dans la première tranche de l'impôt sur le revenu. Si tout le monde faisait le même effort, le juste effort, tout le monde vivrait mieux."> "Je ferme la porte à l'égoïsme et j'ouvre la porte sur la rencontre. Les gens sont courageux, généreux, intéressants."---Idées centrales1. La marchandisation est un coup d'État sans avant ni après~00:12:40 — 00:18:00Le marché n'a pas besoin d'une déclaration de victoire. Il avance par normalisation silencieuse. Le train où payer pour s'asseoir avec sa famille est devenu normal. La crèche où une amende a créé un marché du retard. Le moment où on n'est plus seulement un consommateur mais une marchandise soi-même. Baudrillard avait critiqué la société de consommation mais n'avait pas imaginé un marché aussi "totalisant et totalitaire" selon Boris. Ce qui est redoutable, c'est précisément l'absence de rupture visible.Pourquoi ça compte : ça change la façon dont on parle de capitalisme. Ce n'est plus un ennemi déclaré, c'est une colonisation du quotidien.2. Le service public coûte moins cher que son absence~00:25:54 — 00:29:52La santé française représente 12% du PIB, gratuite à l'usage, avec une espérance de vie supérieure aux États-Unis où la santé représente 18% du PIB, privée, et laisse des dizaines de millions de personnes sans couverture correcte. La vraie question n'est pas "l'État sait-il gérer ?" mais "combien coûte la marchandisation ?" C'est un retournement rhétorique qui déplace le débat là où il devrait être.Pourquoi ça compte : ça donne des armes concrètes dans un débat trop souvent posé en termes abstraits.3. La mixité scolaire fonctionne, et personne n'en parle~00:31:40 — 00:36:00À Toulouse, les enfants du quartier du Mirail ont été intégrés dans les collèges du centre-ville, dont Fermat et Saint-Sernin. Résultat : leur taux de réussite au brevet a rejoint la moyenne nationale. "Personne n'y a perdu. Tout le monde a été tiré vers le haut." C'est une réponse concrète, documentée, à la logique de ségrégation scolaire qui progresse avec la marchandisation de l'éducation.Pourquoi ça compte : une victoire réelle, mesurable, qui ne fait pas la une.4. L'IA est une révolution industrielle sans politique à sa hauteur~01:03:05 — 01:07:10Boris reconnaît la sidération. Il propose l'analogie de la Red Team du ministère de la Défense, qui fait appel à des auteurs de science-fiction pour imaginer les menaces du futur. Ce même travail devrait être fait sur l'IA. La question concrète qu'il pose : si votre enfant s'oriente aujourd'hui vers une formation, comment savoir si elle sera encore utile dans cinq ans ? Le marché est incapable de donner de la valeur à l'utilité sociale, et c'est l'IA qui va redessiner ce partage.Pourquoi ça compte : une position qui n'est ni dans la panique ni dans l'euphorie, avec une proposition d'action.5. La démocratie est la dernière Bastille du marché~01:17:25 — 01:21:15La convergence Trump-Musk n'est pas une coïncidence. Les 7 plus grandes entreprises américaines de la tech ont une capitalisation boursière qui dépasse le PIB des 27 pays de l'Union européenne. Quand le rapport de forces entre puissance publique et puissance privée est aussi déséquilibré, et que les oligarques de la tech contrôlent les plateformes sur lesquelles se forment les opinions, la démocratie délibérative est structurellement fragilisée.Pourquoi ça compte : ça sort la menace sur la démocratie du registre anecdotique pour la replacer dans la logique marchande.6. La gauche a des angles morts qu'elle refuse de regarder~01:21:15 — 01:25:20Boris les nomme sans esquiver : la mondialisation, qu'elle a soutenue sans voir la désindustrialisation venir ; la crise environnementale, où elle a tardé ; la culture, devenue orpheline ; et surtout les territoires ruraux, la France des sous-préfectures, qui ne se sent pas représentée. Ce qui est frappant, c'est qu'il l'admet sans chercher à s'en sortir avec une formule.Pourquoi ça compte : un politique qui admet ses angles morts crédibilise tout le reste de ce qu'il dit.---Questions posées dans l'interview1. De tous les sujets possibles, pourquoi avoir choisi la marchandisation comme angle central de ce livre ?2. Comment on sort d'un système d'hyper-marchandisation quand il est global et qu'aucun pays ne peut le faire seul ?3. Qu'est-ce qui vous intéresse encore dans la politique nationale là où la politique locale semble plus efficace et plus proche des gens ?4. Combien coûte vraiment la marchandisation — est-ce que l'État social revient finalement moins cher que son absence ?5. Pourquoi les Français ont-ils du mal à accepter que le problème est en haut plutôt qu'en bas, sur la fiscalité des héritages et des grandes fortunes ?6. Comment expliquer que la gauche perde des batailles culturelles sur des sujets où les chiffres sont pourtant de son côté ?7. La désindustrialisation depuis Mitterrand — erreur fondamentale, ou choix assumé par les dirigeants d'entreprise autant que par les politiques ?8.

Boris Vallaud est un politique, Président du parti socialiste, président du groupe socialiste à l'Assemblée nationale, député des Landes et auteur de Nos vies ne sont pas des marchandises. Il vient de démissionner de la présidence du groupe PS au moment où on enregistre cet épisode.Je dois être honnête, ce n'est pas un hasard qu'en 9 ans de podcast je n'ai jamais invité de politiques encore ou presque.Ce n'est paspar désintérêt puisque les sujets que je traite sont profondément politiques. Mais parce que je voulais que ça soit une vraie conversation, pas une interview de promo, pas des éléments de langage, pas du positionnement de campagne. Je voulais qu'on parle de ce qui m'intéresse vraiment : pourquoi la société se fragmente, pourquoi les gens votent pour des gens qui ne défendent pas leurs intérêts, pourquoi la démocratie est sous pression, et ce qu'on peut y faire concrètement.Avec Boris, ça a marché j'ai l'impression mais je me méfie de mes propres incompétences à mettre en difficulté un politique en même temps. Le livre part d'une idée simple et tranchante, celle que l'on vit dans une immense boutique. Tout est à vendre, de la petite enfance jusqu'au grand âge, de notre attention jusqu'à notre imaginaire. Et cette colonisation est d'autant plus efficace qu'elle est silencieuse, on ne voit pas l'avant et l'après. Il existe une normalisation progressive de l'idée que tout a un prix, que tout se marchande, et que si vous ne pouvez pas payer, c'est votre problème.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de ça, mais aussi de ce que ça produit politiquement. Parce que la marchandisation ne détruit pas que les services publics, elle détruit les liens, crée des épidémies de solitude, fragmente les territoires, et au bout, elle crée un appel d'air pour ceux que Boris appelle les "marchands d'ordre". Et la convergence Trump-Musk qu'on voit se déployer en ce moment, c'est exactement ça : quand le marché a tout pris, la dernière chose à acheter, c'est la démocratie elle-même.J'ai questionné Boris Vallaud sur la fiscalité des milliardaires où les 500 plus grandes fortunes françaises représentent 40% du PIB contre 12% il y a vingt ans, et où le taux d'effort fiscal des milliardaires est inférieur à celui de quelqu'un qui entre dans la première tranche de l'impôt sur le revenu. Nous parlons de la réforme des retraites et de pourquoi certaines réformes qui semblent économiquement solides se fracassent politiquement. Nous parlons de désindustrialisation — et de qui en est responsable, les politiques ou les dirigeants d'entreprise qui ont théorisé "la France sans usines". Nous parlons d'intelligence artificielle comme révolution industrielle que la classe politique n'a pas encore vraiment regardée en face. Nous parlons d'écologie, d'agriculture, et de pourquoi la transition est vécue comme une menace par ceux qui ont le moins de marge de manœuvre. Et nous parlons des angles morts de la gauche — Boris les nomme lui-même, sans esquiver.Ce qui m'a frappé dans cet épisode, c'est quelque chose que je n'attendais pas : son rapport aux gens qui votent contre ce qu'il représente. Il ne les méprise pas. Il dit qu'il les connaît, qu'ils sont bien, qu'il leur donne raison sur beaucoup de choses. Et que c'est ça qui lui donne envie de continuer malgré tout — pas la conviction d'avoir raison, mais la conviction que les gens méritent mieux que ce qu'on leur propose.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de marchandisation, de services publics, de retraites, de désindustrialisation, de fiscalité, d'intelligence artificielle, d'écologie, de démocratie et de réseaux sociaux, de la gauche et de ses angles morts, et de ce que "représenter" veut vraiment dire quand on passe ses vendredis en permanence dans les Landes.Citations marquantes> "On vit dans une immense boutique. Tout est à vendre, de la petite enfance jusqu'au grand âge, jusqu'à soi-même, jusqu'à son imaginaire, jusqu'à sa conscience."> "C'est une avancée plus subreptice mais plus certaine qu'un coup d'état. Précisément parce qu'on ne voit pas l'avant et l'après. Et puis on se retrouve soi-même marchandise, au milieu de codes qui sont ceux du marché."> "Quand on abandonne la société au marché, la dernière Bastille à prendre, c'est la démocratie."> "Les milliardaires ont un taux d'effort fiscal inférieur à celui de quelqu'un qui entre dans la première tranche de l'impôt sur le revenu. Si tout le monde faisait le même effort, le juste effort, tout le monde vivrait mieux."> "Je ferme la porte à l'égoïsme et j'ouvre la porte sur la rencontre. Les gens sont courageux, généreux, intéressants."---Idées centrales1. La marchandisation est un coup d'État sans avant ni après~00:12:40 — 00:18:00Le marché n'a pas besoin d'une déclaration de victoire. Il avance par normalisation silencieuse. Le train où payer pour s'asseoir avec sa famille est devenu normal. La crèche où une amende a créé un marché du retard. Le moment où on n'est plus seulement un consommateur mais une marchandise soi-même. Baudrillard avait critiqué la société de consommation mais n'avait pas imaginé un marché aussi "totalisant et totalitaire" selon Boris. Ce qui est redoutable, c'est précisément l'absence de rupture visible.Pourquoi ça compte : ça change la façon dont on parle de capitalisme. Ce n'est plus un ennemi déclaré, c'est une colonisation du quotidien.2. Le service public coûte moins cher que son absence~00:25:54 — 00:29:52La santé française représente 12% du PIB, gratuite à l'usage, avec une espérance de vie supérieure aux États-Unis où la santé représente 18% du PIB, privée, et laisse des dizaines de millions de personnes sans couverture correcte. La vraie question n'est pas "l'État sait-il gérer ?" mais "combien coûte la marchandisation ?" C'est un retournement rhétorique qui déplace le débat là où il devrait être.Pourquoi ça compte : ça donne des armes concrètes dans un débat trop souvent posé en termes abstraits.3. La mixité scolaire fonctionne, et personne n'en parle~00:31:40 — 00:36:00À Toulouse, les enfants du quartier du Mirail ont été intégrés dans les collèges du centre-ville, dont Fermat et Saint-Sernin. Résultat : leur taux de réussite au brevet a rejoint la moyenne nationale. "Personne n'y a perdu. Tout le monde a été tiré vers le haut." C'est une réponse concrète, documentée, à la logique de ségrégation scolaire qui progresse avec la marchandisation de l'éducation.Pourquoi ça compte : une victoire réelle, mesurable, qui ne fait pas la une.4. L'IA est une révolution industrielle sans politique à sa hauteur~01:03:05 — 01:07:10Boris reconnaît la sidération. Il propose l'analogie de la Red Team du ministère de la Défense, qui fait appel à des auteurs de science-fiction pour imaginer les menaces du futur. Ce même travail devrait être fait sur l'IA. La question concrète qu'il pose : si votre enfant s'oriente aujourd'hui vers une formation, comment savoir si elle sera encore utile dans cinq ans ? Le marché est incapable de donner de la valeur à l'utilité sociale, et c'est l'IA qui va redessiner ce partage.Pourquoi ça compte : une position qui n'est ni dans la panique ni dans l'euphorie, avec une proposition d'action.5. La démocratie est la dernière Bastille du marché~01:17:25 — 01:21:15La convergence Trump-Musk n'est pas une coïncidence. Les 7 plus grandes entreprises américaines de la tech ont une capitalisation boursière qui dépasse le PIB des 27 pays de l'Union européenne. Quand le rapport de forces entre puissance publique et puissance privée est aussi déséquilibré, et que les oligarques de la tech contrôlent les plateformes sur lesquelles se forment les opinions, la démocratie délibérative est structurellement fragilisée.Pourquoi ça compte : ça sort la menace sur la démocratie du registre anecdotique pour la replacer dans la logique marchande.6. La gauche a des angles morts qu'elle refuse de regarder~01:21:15 — 01:25:20Boris les nomme sans esquiver : la mondialisation, qu'elle a soutenue sans voir la désindustrialisation venir ; la crise environnementale, où elle a tardé ; la culture, devenue orpheline ; et surtout les territoires ruraux, la France des sous-préfectures, qui ne se sent pas représentée. Ce qui est frappant, c'est qu'il l'admet sans chercher à s'en sortir avec une formule.Pourquoi ça compte : un politique qui admet ses angles morts crédibilise tout le reste de ce qu'il dit.---Questions posées dans l'interview1. De tous les sujets possibles, pourquoi avoir choisi la marchandisation comme angle central de ce livre ?2. Comment on sort d'un système d'hyper-marchandisation quand il est global et qu'aucun pays ne peut le faire seul ?3. Qu'est-ce qui vous intéresse encore dans la politique nationale là où la politique locale semble plus efficace et plus proche des gens ?4. Combien coûte vraiment la marchandisation — est-ce que l'État social revient finalement moins cher que son absence ?5. Pourquoi les Français ont-ils du mal à accepter que le problème est en haut plutôt qu'en bas, sur la fiscalité des héritages et des grandes fortunes ?6. Comment expliquer que la gauche perde des batailles culturelles sur des sujets où les chiffres sont pourtant de son côté ?7. La désindustrialisation depuis Mitterrand — erreur fondamentale, ou choix assumé par les dirigeants d'entreprise autant que par les politiques ?8. Est-ce que la démocratie peut survivre aux réseaux sociaux, et a fortiori aux réseaux sociaux alimentés par l'IA ?9. Quels sont les angles morts de la gauche — les sujets qu'elle refuse de regarder en face ?10. Si vous ne deviez choisir qu'un seul premier acte contre la marchandisation, ce serait lequel ?---Références citées dans l'épisodeLivres / auteurs- Nos vies ne sont pas des marchandises, Boris Vallaud (le livre de l'invité, fil conducteur de l'épisode)- Jean Baudrillard, critique de la société de consommation (*La Société de consommation*) — cité ~00:13:42 dans le contexte de la colonisation par le marché- Antoine Fouchet [À VÉRIFIER orthographe] — son travail sur la CSG, le financement de la protection sociale et la désindustrialisation — cité ~00:47:50 et ~01:25:24- Printemps silencieux [À VÉRIFIER : attribué à Rachel Carson dans la tradition écologiste] — cité ~01:12:40 comme livre "tragique et intéressant" sur la disparition des insectes- Camille Penny — cité brièvement sur le thème de la générosité et de l'égoïsme — ~01:34:49Films / séries- Matrix, Wall-E, Avatar, Black Mirror — cités comme œuvres culturelles qui ont anticipé les enjeux de l'IA et du contrôle numérique — ~01:20:45Études / données- Les 500 plus grandes familles françaises représentent 40% du PIB (contre 12% il y a 20 ans) — ~00:36:34- Taux d'effort fiscal des milliardaires inférieur à la première tranche de l'impôt sur le revenu — ~00:38:42- 160 milliards d'euros d'aides aux entreprises, étude du Sénat — ~00:40:00- 25 à 30% de non-recours au RSA — ~00:55:03- Fondation Jean-Jaurès : étude sur la corrélation entre fermeture des PMU/bistrots et progression du vote RN — ~01:18:15- Cité des sciences : 76% des Français pensent avoir l'esprit critique, mais 40% refusent de parler à des gens avec qui ils ne sont pas d'accord — ~01:18:34- France : 12% du PIB consacré à la santé / États-Unis : 18% — ~00:26:00- Exemple Sanofi : 1 milliard d'euros d'aides publiques à la recherche, puis licenciements de chercheurs — ~00:40:00Personnalités / modèles- Vienne (Autriche) : modèle de logement social, 80% de locataires, 60% de logements publics, mixité sociale préservée — ~00:18:00- Landes : zéro EHPAD à but lucratif, régie publique de l'eau, premier département producteur d'énergie photovoltaïque — ~00:18:00 / ~01:17:09- Toulouse, collège du Mirail : mixité scolaire avec Fermat et Saint-Sernin — ~00:33:00- Red Team du ministère de la Défense : auteurs de science-fiction pour anticiper les menaces — ~01:20:00- Arnaud Montebourg, travail commun au ministère du Redressement productif — ~00:58:34- Léo Lagrange / Front populaire : politique du temps libéré — ~01:26:14- Jacques Chirac : "Notre maison brûle" — ~01:08:00Timestamps clés 00:08:25 — Intro : l'invité et le livreGreg présente Boris Vallaud et l'angle de l'épisode : on vit dans une immense boutique, et ce n'est pas anodin.00:12:40 — La marchandisation, plus sûre qu'un coup d'ÉtatUne avancée silencieuse, sans avant ni après visible.

Nederland zit al jaren vast door stikstof. Nieuwe wegen, woningen, bedrijven en boeren lopen vast op vergunningen, terwijl de natuur verder onder druk staat. Vrijdag presenteerde landbouwminister Jaimi van Essen daarom een nieuw pakket maatregelen. De toon is vriendelijker dan bij eerdere stikstofplannen, maar de inzet is groot: minder uitstoot, meer natuurherstel en uiteindelijk minder vrijblijvendheid voor boeren.In deze aflevering bespreken Erik van der Walle, Rik Wassens en Pim van den Dool of dit plan juridisch, technisch en politiek kan werken. Is dit het begin van een oplossing, of blijft Nederland nog jaren doormodderen?Gast: Rik Wassens, Pim van den DoolPresentatie: Erik van der WalleRedactie: Henk Ruigrok van der WervenMontage: Pieter BakkerProductie: Rhea StroinkHeb je vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture With Pride Month coming to an end, we figured there was no better time in our 2008 retrospective to revisit Gus Van Sant's "Milk," starring Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, Josh Brolin, Diego Luna, and James Franco. Written by Dustin Lance Black and heavily influenced by the Oscar-winning 1984 documentary "The Times of Harvey Milk," the film, which was released after the passage of Proposition 8 in California, was met with a strong sense of urgency and deep passion at the time for its political relevance as well as its filmmaking. It went on to win Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars and a second Best Actor win for Sean Penn, who garnered some of the best reviews of his career. Nearly 20 years later, how does the film hold up? Please tune in as Sara Clements, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Aaron Isenstein, and I talk about the film's screenplay, Gus Van Sant's direction, the performances, the editing, the film's awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

Disney Springs transportation changes have the Disney community split, and Lauren and Eric dig into why this resort bus and water taxi policy is about more than just closing a parking hack. They look at how resort amenities, beignets, pools, and fireworks viewing have all become part of the broader “who gets access?” debate. Then they shift to Pixar, Toy Story 5, online movie rankings, and the surprisingly passionate arguments over WALL-E, Monsters Inc., Onward, Lightyear, and Cars 2. HIGHLIGHTS Disney Springs transportation restrictions begin June 28, limiting resort buses and water taxis to Disney Resort Hotel guests and guests with qualifying reservations. Lauren and Eric discuss why some fans see the change as a reasonable fix, while others see it as limiting access to the wider Walt Disney World bubble. The conversation expands to resort hopping, Port Orleans beignets, pool access, and how influencer-shared “hacks” can change guest behavior. Eric and Lauren consider whether these changes will actually reduce crowding or simply create new workarounds for determined guests. Toy Story 5 sparks a bigger conversation about Pixar rankings and which films fans defend the hardest.

Войната и мирът обречени ли са да се редуват? Според историята – да. Ако пък изкуството и развлекателният бизнес се опитат да дадат отговор на този въпрос, той обикновено варира между див песимизъм и умерен оптимизъм. По-скоро реалисти са писателят и кинокритик Благой Д. Иванов и авторът и анализатор на международни геополитически проблеми Руслан Трад, които се впускат в дискусия за световните отношения в контекста на бъдещето, което наблюдаваме в книги, филми, сериали и дори в игри като „Warhammer 40,000“. Земята днес е обгърната от напрежение и разделение, раздирана е от крайни позиции, страда от липса на ясен и цивилизован диалог – какви бъдни дни ни очакват, види ли му се краят, можем ли да прогнозираме благоприятен развой? Разбира се, никой не е способен да предскаже каквото и да е, но можем да се обърнем към фантазията на човека и да разберем какво ни подсказва тя... например: • Мегакорпорациите в „Блейд Рънър“ на Ридли Скот, „Пришълците“ на Джеймс Камерън и „WALL-E“ на Андрю Стантън – какво се случва, когато пазарът диктува и поставя границите, когато нациите са ирелевантни в една система на окрупняване, под ботуша на която имаме подчинен на нея мултикултурализъм? • Моно-правителството в литературната поредица „Фондацията“ на Айзък Азимов, превърната в сериал, във франчайза „Стар Трек“ и в романите „Експанзията“ на Джеймс С. А. Кори, адаптирани в едноименния проект на кабелния канал „Syfy“ – разнолики портрети на космически и междупланетарен ЕС, обща държавна система, пост-национализъм, при който геополитиката напуска орбитата... • Повредена планета с вилнеещ нео-феодализъм – от поредицата „Лудият Макс“ на Джордж Милър до поредицата „Дюн“ на Франк Хърбърт – икономически и управленчески колапс, глад за ресурси, военачалници-диктатори и владичество на пост-месиански фигури... • Могат ли и как иновациите и автоматизацията да повлияят на геополитиката... или по-скоро как това се случва и как навярно ще се случва занапред? • Би ли могъл някой AI модел да прогнозира и да ни упътва в света на геополитиката и към едно по-мирно бъдеще – възможно ли е да се появи добронамерен „Скайнет“? • „Селото“ на М. Найт Шамалан не е филм за хора, избягали от цивилизацията, а филм, който ни показва, че човек не може да избяга от себе си – геополитиката в Космоса ще доведе ли до същите проблеми, които имаме днес... но в по-голям мащаб? • Възможна ли е Студена война в Космоса? • Завръщането към религиозна авторитарност и космическа теокрация – можем ли да пренесем ужаса на религиозната догма в бъдещето, да имаме марсиански римейк на християнските Тъмни векове или да треперим покрай извънземен ислямски фундаментализъм? • Историческите диктатури като алегория – в „Двете кули“ на Питър Джаксън, „Империята отвръща на удара“ на Ървин Кършнър и „Звездни рейнджъри“ на Пол Верховен... • Поп-културна екстраполация на геополитически стереотипи: израелския изолационизъм, който предпазва евреите от опитващите да преминат през стената зомбита в романа „Z-та световна война“ на Макс Брукс, екранизиран от Марк Форстър в блокбастър с Брад Пит... • Морален казус: мир чрез страх и заплаха (в „Пазителите“ на Алън Мур) или мир чрез емпатия и надежда (в „Денят на истината“ на Стивън Спилбърг)? • Предупреждения и медитация върху сериозни казуси и травми, но без дидактизъм – от „Сектор 9“ на Нийл Бломкамп до „Годжира“ на Иширо Хонда... • Мрак или светлина откриваме в ТВ-проекти като „Altered Carbon“ по Ричард Морган и „The Orville" на Сет Макфарлън? • Какво можем да научим от учени, изследователи или предприемачи като Ерик Шмид, Питър Тийл, Йохан Хари, Илон Мъск и Брайън Клаас? • Защо обичаме да четем жанрови великани като Майкъл Муркок, Джо Абъркромби, Ейдриън Чайковски, Робърт Хайнлайн, Брандън Сандерсън, Джон Р. Р. Толкин, Джон Скалзи, Филип К. Дик и Джордж Р. Р. Мартин?

He has directed movies like Finding Nemo and WALL-E, and he's the director of Toy Story 5. I had to ask him, "What have you done at Pixar to keep that quality bar so high? It's hit after hit, appealing to both kids and adults. How do you achieve this consistently?" That's what this episode is all about. About the host Hey!

What does it actually mean to worship? Brian From makes the case from Romans 11 and 12 that worship is far bigger than singing or a Sunday gathering — it's offering your entire body and life as a living sacrifice, every day, in every decision. From there, a genuinely fun detour into Relevant Magazine's piece on the "gospel according to Pixar," tracing surprisingly biblical themes through Toy Story, The Incredibles, WALL-E, and Inside Out — including the case that real leadership looks less like a throne and more like a foot washing. Then Randy Alcorn tackles one of the hardest questions in the Christian life: why does God permit evil and suffering, and why do so many churches fail to prepare people for it before it hits? A viral story about a lawn-mowing YouTuber whose followers raised $685,000 for a grieving widow becomes a picture of internet generosity done right. A frustrating New York Times piece on rising "gray divorce" rates among couples married 25+ years gets a pointed response: marriages don't have to drift into apathy, but it takes ongoing work at every stage. Christian ministries are using the World Cup's massive audience as an unprecedented evangelism opportunity, prompting the question of what opportunities exist in your own life. And a closing reflection on play as a spiritual discipline — and why a Christian's inability to play might reveal a view of God that's too small.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Senra: Read the notes at at podcastnotes.org. Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Ed Catmull is the co-founder of Pixar and the former president of Disney Animation. He grew up in 1950s Utah wanting to animate for Disney. Convinced he couldn't draw well enough, he studied physics and computer science at the University of Utah instead, landing in one of the great talent incubators in computing history. In 1972, he animated his own left hand—one of the first 3D computer renderings ever made. Since childhood he had carried a single ambition: to make the first feature film animated entirely by computer. Reaching it took more than 20 years. George Lucas hired Catmull in 1979 to build a computer division at Lucasfilm. When Lucas needed cash, Steve Jobs bought that division in 1986 for $5 million and spun it out as Pixar. For years it sold imaging computers and lost money while Catmull and John Lasseter made short films to keep the dream alive. Jobs sank roughly $50 million of his own money into it. In 1995, Pixar released Toy Story, the first feature animated entirely by computer, and went public days later. Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, WALL-E, and Up followed. Disney bought Pixar in 2006 for $7.4 billion and put Catmull in charge of both studios; he revived a faltering Disney Animation with films like Frozen. Catmull cared about the conditions that let creative work survive its own fragility. Every original idea, he argues, starts out ugly and broken, and management exists to protect it long enough to get good. At Pixar that meant the Braintrust: a room where directors got blunt feedback with no authority attached and the conversation stayed on the problem, never on who was right. He laid it all out in Creativity, Inc.

Phil and Emily are joined by writer Elias Isquith (Necessary Fictions blog) to close out the Angelina Jolie Action Films of the 2000s miniseries with the loudest, messiest entry yet: Timur Bekmambetov's Wanted (2008).James McAvoy plays a cubicle drone recruited by Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman into a secret fraternity of assassins that takes its orders from a magical loom. Yes, a loom. The movie was a surprise hit the summer it opened alongside WALL-E, weeks before The Dark Knight blew everything away, and none of them had seen it since theaters. Rewatching it in 2026 was a very different experience.The conversation digs into how Wanted plays like a proto-incel power fantasy, a movie that negs its audience for 110 minutes and then stares into the camera asking "what the fuck have you done lately?" They trace the line from Fight Club and The Matrix to this film's confused politics, where the message is "be free and take charge of your life" but also "obey the magic loom or die." Emily breaks down the gendered self-loathing baked into so many films aimed at young men, and Elias connects the movie's hyper-individualism to the toxic masculinity pipeline that would migrate to social media just a year later. They also talk about Angelina Jolie's decision to kill off her own character, why the film's structure feels like a video game with half-assed cutscenes, and how Zack Snyder somehow handles this same territory with more nuance.Follow the show & guests:Podcast Like It's... — https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove — https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James — https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsElias Isquith — NecessaryFictions.blog - https://www.instagram.com/eliasisquith

S7 Ep29: What the $1-a-day global poverty line gets wrong

VoxDev Talks

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 3, 2026 29:13


It's 1990. A young staff economist walks into a director's office at the World Bank and says the number he's about to publish is "crazy". The director tells him not to worry about it. The number was the dollar-a-day poverty line. Lant Pritchett, now of LSE, was that economist. More than three decades later, he's still worrying about it. In this week's episode he argues that the dollar-a-day line warped how the world thinks about poverty, by setting the bar so low that we can count billions of deprived people as not poor.In a new paper, co-authored with Martina Viarengo (Graduate Institute, Geneva), their fix isn't to scrap the low line. It's to add a high one as well. They propose a global upper-bound poverty line of $21.50 a day, ten times the extreme-poverty standard, derived from four separate measures of material wellbeing.Above it, you're no longer poor by any reasonable global standard. Below it, you're poor in a sense worth measuring. By that standard, 99% of Pakistan is poor, and almost no one in Denmark is. Should that affect how we think about anti-poverty policy? The research behind this episode:Pritchett, Lant, and Martina Viarengo. Forthcoming. "Raising the Bar: An Inclusive Global Poverty Line." Journal of Development Economics. Available now as a working paper.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Lant Pritchett. 2026. "What the $1-a-day global poverty line gets wrong." VoxDev Talks (podcast). Assign this as extra listening. The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestLant Pritchett is a development economist and Visiting Professor at the School of Public Policy at the London School of Economics. He worked at the World Bank from 1988 to 2007 and taught at the Harvard Kennedy School for nearly two decades. His work spans economic growth, state capability, education systems, and labour mobility.The paper is co-authored with Martina Viarengo, Professor of International Economics at the Geneva Graduate Institute. Her research spans public policy, labour markets, comparative education, and international migration.Research cited in this episodeThe dollar-a-day poverty line. Created for the World Bank's 1990 World Development Report on poverty and based on the observation that national poverty lines in the poorest countries clustered at a low floor (Ravallion, Datt and van de Walle 1991). Updated for inflation, it now sits at P$2.15 a day in 2017 purchasing power parity. It was only ever meant to mark the lowest a global poverty line could plausibly be, not the line.The focus axiom. A standard property of poverty measures, originating with Amartya Sen (1976), under which changes in the income of anyone above the poverty line do not register in the measure. Pritchett's objection is that this assigns mathematically zero weight to the near-poor; a household just above the line counts the same as a Danish millionaire, namely zero. He calls it an economic bug that became a political feature, because it takes global redistribution off the table.Gresham's law applied to poverty. Pritchett's framing for how the simple headcount displaced richer, distribution-sensitive approaches; bad economics drove out better economics because it was easier to understand. He notes the World Bank of the 1970s was preoccupied with distribution, citing Hollis Chenery and Montek Ahluwalia's Redistribution with Growth (1974), so the idea that economists ignored distribution until poverty measurement arrived is a myth.The two criteria for an upper bound. The proposed line rests on two ideas drawn from the tension between the focus axiom and standard welfare economics. One, material wellbeing achievement; the line sits where a household reaches a standard of living a rich-country citizen would recognise as adequate. Two, near enough satiation; the line sits where the extra wellbeing from another dollar has fallen so low that treating further gains as zero does little violence to reality. At twenty-one and a half dollars the marginal utility of income is roughly three percent of its value at the dollar-a-day line; at the World Bank's current high line of P$6.85 it is still around thirty percent.Four measures of wellbeing. The number is triangulated across an iso-elastic utility function, food shares in consumption (Engel's Law), a household index of six basic conditions drawn from Demographic and Health Survey data, and a cross-national index of basics. The estimates cluster between twenty and forty dollars a day; twenty-one and a half was chosen because it is exactly ten times the dollar-a-day line, a focal point in the same way one dollar was.The six minimal conditions of prosperity. Electricity, improved sanitation, safe water, primary schooling completed by older children, no child dying under five, and no young child malnourished. The test Pritchett applies is whether it would be absurd to call a household prosperous while it lacks one of them.The rich of the poor and the poor of the rich. The tenth percentile in Denmark has higher consumption than the ninetieth percentile in Pakistan or Indonesia. This is why any global line that produces meaningful poverty in rich countries implies poverty rates near one hundred percent across most of the developing world; a point Dani Rodrik (2007) showed is widely misunderstood.The prosperity gap. A distribution-sensitive welfare measure adopted by the World Bank (Kraay et al. 2025) that weights the whole income distribution rather than counting everyone above a threshold as zero. Pritchett offers it, alongside poverty-gap and squared-poverty-gap measures at a higher line, as the practical route to acting on a global upper bound without reducing everything to a single headcount.More VoxDev Talks episodesRethinking evidence and refocusing on growth in development economics, Lant Pritchett on what the problem might be if we rely exclusively on rigorous evidence in development economics as a guide for policy.Rethinking how we measure extreme poverty, Charles Kenny asks: is it time for a new measure of extreme poverty?

On today's episode, we discuss how fast emerging tech is reshaping everyday life, from glitchy home solar systems to self‑driving cars, sex robots, and AI‑driven coding tools. Glenn opens with a candid update on his Tesla‑based solar setup—celebrating a newly functional generator‑battery handoff while venting about failed inverters and long calls with Tesla support—before the group pivots into how well the latest Full Self‑Driving software now handles stop signs, parking, and even spotting deer at night using cameras and possibly infrared. From there, they debate LiDAR versus camera‑only systems, the future of EVs and hybrids, and how self‑driving will eventually trickle down into everything from lawnmowers to Roombas as autonomy gets baked into cheap firmware chips rather than constantly updated software. The conversation then gets speculative and playful: humanoid robots doing warehouse work and construction, direct brain interfaces by 2035, AI‑mediated sex and “Tesla Ranch” brothels, and a looming choice between a Wall‑E future of passive comfort or a Star Trek future of exploration and fitness. In the final stretch, they return to Elon Musk's growing power—Starlink as a de facto “second internet,” Grok Build and vibe‑coding tools that let non‑programmers wire systems together—and close with a non‑advice discussion of Bitcoin and crypto, arguing that upcoming U.S. regulation and broader access through mainstream financial firms could unleash a major new wave of demand.

School of Movies

[School of Movies 2026] Our month of movies about A.I. continues, this time with something everybody loves. And WALL-E is in fact pulling double duty on this one, because we get a heartwarming story about robots who fall in love despite their differing classes and stations, and having to defy their employees in order to not only be happy but bring Earth back to life again... AND we get an unexpected sledgehammer of a glimpse into the future from 2008. It was as though Andrew Stanton and Pixar saw how easily Social Media would take hold of us as a species, and cater to our every dopamine whim in order to keep our attention, as we sacrificed everything about ourselves for the sake of convenience, including but not limited to complacency over ecological disaster. This movie is a masterpiece, and has become chillingly, shockingly more relevent with every year. This Week's After School Club: Weird Science Next Week's Main Event: Ex-Machina & HER

Big tech is making a blunt trade: fewer people, more AI. We dig into Meta's plan to cut more than 10% of its workforce while pouring an eye-watering budget into AI, then zoom out to the uncomfortable pattern across the industry where payroll turns into infrastructure spend. Along the way we hit a surprisingly human twist: one of the biggest uses of AI isn't coding or design, it's companionship and therapy, which says a lot about where our culture is headed.From there, we step into the billionaire arena with Elon Musk versus Sam Altman. We walk through the origins story, the lawsuit stakes, and why governance fights in court can shape the future of artificial intelligence more than public mission statements ever will. If the case slows OpenAI or forces structural changes, it could ripple through the entire AI race, and we're all along for the ride whether we asked for it or not.Then we get practical and a little weird: robots and drones delivering dinner for “one dollar,” TechNeck and the anxiety economy, Cornell's microbubble cleaning breakthrough, and a humanoid robot half marathon that jumps from novelty to serious capability in a single year. We also pressure-test “AI safety” messaging with Meta's new AI Insights for parents, and we hand out a Technology Fail of the Week to an AI tractor that promised the future but couldn't handle real farms.We cap it all off with a Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon tasting and a debate about whether the next decade feels more like Terminator or WALL-E.
