Hey yall, Alex here, Huge thanks to Wolfram for running point on the live show this week. Didn't have tons of time to edit this one, so please skip the first 10 minutes, it's a loop of our new “wait for the live show to start” vid, that I build with HyperFrames and can't wait to tell you about, next week! Today it seems that OpenSource is biting back, with Kimi K3 getting released just a short while after Thinking Machines (Thinky) has released Inkling, their near 1T model. I'm attaching the TL;DR and timestamps for the full show (my AI agents, yes even Fable and Sol are not a match yet at editing down hehe) and I'll spare you the long Fable recap (please do let me know in the comments if you were expecting it) 0:00 – Intro, Alex on vacation, TLDR overview11:35 – TLDR: Thinking Machines, open source, OpenAI news12:34 – Banter: impressions of Sol/Codex, over-verification behavior37:22 – TLDR restart & detailed breakdown48:40 – Open Source AI section begins (Bonsai/Prism ML, Kimi K3)58:42 – Inkling (Thinking Machines) deep dive & 3D model visualization1:10:33 – Kimi K3 discussion & demo comparisons1:27:02 – Frontier Labs: AGI governance framework discussion (Demis Hassabis essay)1:47:04 – Grok Build CLI data leak & OpenAI file deletion incident2:02:15 – This Week's Buzz: Wolfbench results on GPT 5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna2:09:52 – Closing remarks & sign-offThe one-minute version: Mira Murati's Thinking Machines released Inkling, a 975B parameter open-weights MoE under Apache 2.0, the top US open-weights model right now. Moonshot's Kimi K3 went from rumor to released API during the show, confirmed at 2.8 trillion parameters with open weights promised within days, and it's already topping early arena boards. PrismML's Bonsai 27B squeezes a full 27B model into 3.9 gigabytes so it runs on a phone. Codex and ChatGPT Work blew past 9 million users, OpenAI confirmed and explained the Sol file-deletion bug (back up your machines, folks), and xAI's Grok Build CLI got caught uploading entire private repos before open-sourcing the whole thing in response. Plus Wolfram's fresh Wolfbench numbers on the GPT-5.6 family in This Week's Buzz

Ningún objeto ha inspirado tanta literatura como el santo grial, una copa cuya existencia nunca se ha podido documentar. La imprecisión acerca de qué es, dónde está y si alguna vez existió es seguramente su mayor fortaleza, porque una reliquia bien localizada se convierte en pieza de museo. El grial, en cambio, permanece siempre a un día de camino. Su historia es en realidad la de quienes lo buscaron. Monjes cistercienses, cruzados, ocultistas, arqueólogos de Himmler, guionistas y novelistas proyectaron sobre él lo que cada época necesitaba encontrar, y por eso sigue vivo cuando otras reliquias medievales duermen en polvorientas vitrinas. El objeto en sí aparece en el evangelio de forma muy fugaz. Los evangelios sinópticos cuentan que Jesús tomó el cáliz en la última cena, lo bendijo y lo repartió entre sus discípulos, luego desaparece de la historia. El punto de partida de los buscadores del grial es José de Arimatea, el hombre que pidió a Pilato el cuerpo de Cristo y le enterró en una tumba de su propiedad. Los evangelios apócrifos dieron mucha más importancia a José de Arimatea, que luego se convirtió en un viajero cargado de reliquias. La asociación entre José de Arimatea y un recipiente donde se habría recogido la sangre de Cristo en la cruz no cuaja hasta finales del siglo XII, cuando el borgoñón Robert de Boron cristianiza el objeto. Antes de él el grial existía, pero todavía no era santo. El primero en ponerle nombre fue Chrétien de Troyes en 1180 en su inacabado “Perceval o el Cuento del Grial”. Un joven galés llega al castillo de un rey herido y presencia una procesión en la que una doncella lleva un grial, palabra que en francés antiguo designaba una fuente honda para servir alimentos. Perceval calla, no pregunta a quién sirve aquello, y esa cortesía mal entendida condena al rey y a su tierra. Chrétien murió sin resolver el enigma. Robert de Boron lo identificó más tarde con el cáliz eucarístico, luego sustituyeron a Perceval por Galahad y la aventura original se transformó en alegoría mística. No mucho más tarde un alemán, Wolfram von Eschenbach, hizo del Grial una piedra con propiedades mágicas, el “lapsit exillis”, que custodian unos caballeros, los “Templeisen” en un castillo. Es aquí donde entran los templarios en la leyenda. El hecho es que, a finales del siglo XIII, había ya cuatro griales, pero eran muy diferentes. De esa multiplicidad nacen las lecturas posteriores. La eucarística traduce la misa al lenguaje de la caballería. La sanguínea convierte la vajilla en relicario. La dinástica, que imagina una descendencia carnal de Jesús protegida por sociedades secretas, no aparece hasta el siglo pasado. La lectura interior entiende la búsqueda del grial como un itinerario individual del alma. Lo que si tenemos son santos griales físicos en distintas partes de Europa. El más famoso de todos es el Santo Cáliz que se conserva en la catedral de Valencia, hay otro más en la basílica de San Isidoro de León, otro en Galicia, otro en Gales, otro en Viena y otro más en la catedral de Génova, estos dos últimos son platos, no copas. Hoy son piezas de museo muy valoradas, pero eso no es inconveniente para que los modernos buscadores del grial sigan apostando por unas o por otras. Para hablar de este tema vuelve a La ContraHistoria Carlos Pérez Simancas que, como bien saben los contraescuchas, es experto en este tipo de relatos que habitan entre la historia y la leyenda.

Vielleicht ist unser üblicher Start in den Tag als Paar für dich eher ungewöhnlich. Vielleicht ist unsere Art, uns im Laufe des Tages nicht vom normalen Wahnsinn einfach wegreißen zu lassen ebenso ungewöhnlich für dich. Und erst recht, wenn dir erzählen, wie wir als Familie echten Zusammenhalt gefunden haben. Aber vielleicht hast du ja nach diesem Podcast mit Eva-Maria, Wolfram und Annalena Zurhorst völlig neuen Schwung, mit deiner Beziehung, deiner Familie und deinem Job umzugehen.   Unser Meditationsshop: https://www.zurhorstundzurhorst.com/de/meditations/landing/   Falls du Fragen hast, schreib uns gerne eine E-Mail: coaching@zurhorstundzurhorst.com _________________________   Zurhorst auf Facebook: @zurhorstundzurhorst Zurhorst auf Instagram: @zurhorstundzurhorst Coachinganfragen: coaching@zurhorstundzurhorst.com

Am 4. Juli feiern die USA jeweils ihre Unabhängigkeit. Diesmal ist es genau 250 Jahre her, seit sich die 13 Kolonien vom britischen Königreich losgesagt und die Vereinigten Staaten gegründet haben. Claudia Brühwiler, Dozentin für Amerikanistik an der Universität St. Gallen ordnet den Feiertag ein. · Die USA haben sich den Zugang zu einem der grössten Vorkommen an Wolfram gesichert, das noch nicht erschlossen ist – und das liegt in Kasachstan. US-Präsident Trump und sein Umfeld sollen sich privat daran bereichern. Welche wirtschaftlichen und geopolitischen Interessen Kasachstan verfolgt, erklärt Russlandkorrespondent Calum MacKenzie. · In Thailand ist ein 11-jähriger Junge mit einem Pickup-Truck in eine Pilgergruppe von Mönchen gefahren. Mindestens neun Mönche sind ums Leben gekommen, mehrere weitere sind verletzt. Südostasienkorrespondent Martin Aldrovandi über die Gefahren, die auf thailändischen Strassen lauern. · Die erzkonservative Glaubensgemeinschaft der Piusbrüder hat im Wallis vier neue Bischöfe geweiht. Der Papst hat die Weihung aber nicht erlaubt. Deshalb wurden die neuen Bischöfe, sowie jene zwei Bischöfe, die die Weihung durchgeführt haben, exkommuniziert. SRF-Religionsexperte Norbert Bischofberger beleuchtet die Hintergründe.

Hey ya'll, Fable here

First, Angel has no time to process Cordelia and Connor's new relationship status because the Beast is busy massacring its way through LA. When it turns Wolfram & Hart into a slaughterhouse, Angel couldn't care less—until Wesley tells him Connor is trapped inside. Cue the reluctant team-up to rescue the prodigal son (and Lilah) while trying to figure out what the Beast wants.   Then, the team discovers the Beast has a plan to cast a literal shadow over Los Angeles. They race to stop its suckjob tour, but not even help from a shocking ally can stand in the way of this solid foe. Cordelia has a vision of her time as a Power That Be that shakes her faith in Angel.   Hear us discuss… Cordelia and Connor … under protest … again Justice for Gavin Park!! Steph demands reparations Oh no, all the other lawyers at Wolfram & Hart are dead? Oh dear. How sad. Oh, we're sorry, Cordelia, are YOU upset ANGEL is attracted to someone else? Fred, are you addicted to portals?   Trigger warnings Disembowelment, neck snapping  

Meditation ist nicht, was du denkst. Eva-Maria hat sich nachts mit ihr aus ihrer größten Not gerettet und macht sie heute gerne beim Bügeln oder im Parkhaus. Annalena geht in kein schwieriges Meeting, ohne auf dem Weg eine Meditation zu machen, mit der sie sich Klarheit und Halt verschafft. Und Wolfram ist überzeugt, dass er ohne Meditation heute nicht mehr verheiratet wäre. Im heutigen Podcast mit den dreien wirst du wahrscheinlich überrascht sein, wo und wie du so alles meditieren kannst und wobei dir Meditation überall helfen kann.   Unser neuer Meditationsshop: https://www.zurhorstundzurhorst.com/de/meditations/landing/   Falls du Fragen hast, schreib uns gerne eine E-Mail: coaching@zurhorstundzurhorst.com _________________________   Zurhorst auf Facebook: @zurhorstundzurhorst Zurhorst auf Instagram: @zurhorstundzurhorst Coachinganfragen: coaching@zurhorstundzurhorst.com

Hey, it's Alex. Next month is my 40th b-day, and honestly, my wish for that month is to have a week like this week. A very chill, almost nothing announced week.This week started strong, with Sakana announcing FUGU (AI router) that can beat Fable (which we didn't get back yet), and then... quiet. The most important thing in AI this week from a release standpoint is that GLM 5.2 from Z.AI is having it's DeepSeek moment! Tons of new love for this model since last week! (+ we have the fastest GLM 5.2 deployment in the world with CW inference!) The rest we can quickly count on one hand, Anthropic added Claude to Slack (which made folks hate Andrej Karpathy), OpenAI announced their own inference chip, GPT 5.6 will be delayed and the US Gov will decide who gets it (yes really) and Sean Grove joined us to talk about Linzumi and his vision for running 10,000 agent hours per person per day. Oh and next week, is a special AI Engineer live stream from World's Fair! Don't miss itLet's get into it! Subscribe to never miss a beat! GLM 5.2 is having its DeepSeek moment (HF, CW Inference)We covered GLM 5.2 last week, but this week was when the rest verdict came in! We've never seen a better MIT licenced AI model! GLM 5.2 is scoring top scores on agentic benchmarks (Arena.ai), Design benchmarks, Legal tasks and full on software engineering tasks. The jump in generations from prevoius GLM is also massive and notable, as the lab is working on creating the next version of GLM (per the CEO's reply to Elon on X).Peter from Arena pulled up the Agent Arena numbers and they align with the vibe. GLM 5.2 sits above 5.1 but below Opus and Fable, which feels about right. Where it gets wild is Web Dev Arena: second place, right after Fable. Peter's take was that GLM has really good defaults. If you just say “give me a webpage” it gives you something nice. GPT models, by contrast, start off looking bad and need more steering.Last week, I asked my agents with GLM 5.2 to create a custom ThursdAI.news page for itself and it did a marvelous job! Look at that beautiful font, the castle it made... this is all just delignful. We also played Hassan's blind test on the show. It's a website that @nutlope built that lets you try and guess which webpage was built by which model. Nisten nailed it immediately by spotting Opus's circular buttons. Wolfram guessed right too. I got one wrong. The point isn't that GLM beats Opus, it's that you genuinely can't always tell which one costs 22 cents and which one costs 3 cents.Wolfram did flag that GLM is not good in German. First response already had mistakes. So if you're building for a non-English market, keep that in mind. It's a workhorse model, not a conversationalist. His approach: use GPT 5.5 for planning and discussion, GLM for the actual work, then GPT reviews. This weeks Buzz is all about GLM 5.2! First, we may have not been the fastest, but I'm glad to announce that we're the fastest provider to host GLM 5.2 on OpenRouter (at least at the time of writing this)! We're also not to shabby on the Artificial Analysis checks, clocking at #4 among the providers they tested for speed, TTFT and costAlso, Wolfram ran his WolfBench tests on GLM 5.2 and it's the best open model he's ever tested! In this new 3d view, wolfbench also shows the number of tokens it took for this test to run, and you can see that GLM 5.2 is fairly conservative with it's thinking budgets! Unsloth's 1-bit GLM 5.2 runs on a Mac Studio (X, HF)Shout out to Daniel Han and the Unsloth team, who took this 744B beast and quantized it down to a roughly 200GB GGUF that fits on a Mac Studio with 256GB of RAM. One bit still makes me laugh out loud. How does that even work. Nisten clarified it's a mixed quant, a true 1-bit would be under 100GB, but still.The wild part is the scores hold up. The 1-bit is within a point of GPT 5.5 on Frontier SWE, hits 62% on SWE-bench Pro, and 81% on Terminal-Bench. For a 1-bit quant that's incredible! AI's second-order effects: Apple is raising pricesThis one is AI news even though it doesn't look like it. Apple just raised prices across the board, base versions up around 20%, citing memory shortages. Same reason your RAM and SSDs cost two to three times what they did a year ago.We are so capacity constrained that memory is having its moment. Data center contracts are getting booked 18 months out, and here's the twist Nisten flagged: even open models you can run at home increase demand, because now a business says “great, we'll buy a rack of B200s and run it ourselves.” Sam Altman once said people saying “thank you” to ChatGPT costs them millions in generated “you're welcome” replies. Multiply that by a billion users. Even Intel is flying right now because anyone who can make a chip is winning.Is it worth it? I think yes. I love living in the era where Fable drops and we all get a taste of the future. But also I must admit this sucks and I hope that we'll unlock performance gains with the extra power all this AI is bringing to the world. But ask me again once the new iPhone hits and it's $300 more costly than the last one

Hey yall, Alex here, let me catch you up! I came back from vacation expecting to cover Fable 5 after a week of using it. The first two days after we all first got access to a Mythos level model were super exciting! But then the news hit, US Government issued an order banning Anthropic from giving access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to any foreign national, causing Anthropic to pull the models completely (even internally to their employees!). So, this wasn't the show I planned, but it turned into a great show about Open Source, as two models hit the top rankings and are both MIT licence, filling a Fable shaped hole in our hearts!GLM released 5.2 with folks really excited about it web building capabilities, and Kimi 2.7 Code released (and is available on CW Inference with crazy speeds!). We also saw the SpaceX IPO and Cursor $60B acquisition, Noam Shazeer joining Open and Midjourney, the image company, launching a new Ultrasound full body scanner to kill MRIs! Great show today with Dexter Horthy from HumanLayer, Chris Van Pelt and Adrian Swanberg from W&B announcing our new product HiveMind and Tanishq Abraham came back to help cover Midjourney's new Ultrasound scanner! Let's dive in!ThursdAI - Highest signal weekly AI news show is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The US Government bans Fable 5! (X, Anthropic statement)Here's a story in 3 parts: * Anthropic announces Mythos 5 preview - saying that this model is to dangerous to release, and only gives corporations access to it via project GlassWing. * Anthropic works hard on limitations and safery and releases Fable 5 (same weights as Mythos 5) built with guardrails so strong it refuses to do any cybersecurity tasks and switches back to Opus frequently* US Government receives a tip (reportedly from Amazon) that Fable 5 can be jailbroken to do cybersecurity tasks, and issues an order to Anthropic, citing national security concerns, banning them from giving access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to any foreign national, causing Anthropic to pull the models completely (even internally to their employees!)This is the first time that we see the US Government directly intervene in the AI space and restrict access to frontier models. The most updated reporting on this I could find is that Anthropic and US Government officials are in the process of negotiating a safe release framework. Given that preventing all jailbreaks is impossible, I hope they will land on a solution that gives me Fable 5 back!This hit especially hard because last week we were all high on Fable. Not in the usual AI Twitter benchmark sense, in the actual “oh, this is a different level” sense. Me and my wife Fable maxxed throughout our flight to Vacation. Peter had saved outputs he kept going back to because other models suddenly felt like a step down. Dexter later said it was the closest he had felt in a while to the old “I need to keep prompting this thing overnight” feeling.Peter Gostev made a point that stuck with me. It's easy for us in the bubble to call this ridiculous, and on the technical merits it kind of is. But if you've spent weeks telling normal people “this thing is like a nuclear weapon, it'll take everyone's jobs,” and then someone asks “okay, can you make it safe?” and the answer is “no, I can't,” then you can see how an outsider lands on “well, maybe you shouldn't have it.” His takeaway, and I agree: we need to be way more careful with the imagery we use, because the nuclear-weapon framing came home to roost.The bigger questions are the scary ones. Wolfram framed it as a sovereign AI wake-up call, and he's right. For the first time we're seeing a real gap in intelligence available to people based on their nationality. Imagine building a company on a model that an outside government can switch off with one letter. Peter pointed out it's commercially bad for the US but completely disastrous for Europe, which has basically one frontier lab and a pile of startups that suddenly look very exposed. And there's the obvious irony Nisten enjoyed a little too much: the Europeans who spent years lecturing everyone about AI restrictions just got restrictions imposed on them.If anyone in the government is listening: we want Fable back, please.SpaceX IPOs and acquires Cursor for $60B (X)SpaceX went and did the largest IPO in the history of the world, around seventy-five billion dollars, which on a roughly two-trillion-dollar valuation made Elon the first trillionaire. (Did anything materially change for him? No. He can still fly his private plane. There's nothing left to buy.) Three days later, SpaceX exercised its option and bought Cursor (Anysphere) for sixty billion dollars in an all-stock deal, paid in shares minted at the IPO and now trading around $211. The four Cursor co-founders are all billionaires now. Largest software acquisition ever, and for SpaceX it's barely a blip on the radar.Why are we covering a stock-market story? Because it's not really a coding-tools story, it's an AI story. Cursor gave away its IDE to a lot of people while collecting their data, then quietly became a training company with Composer. SpaceX/xAI was always strong on compute and weak on code, and the missing ingredient was exactly that kind of data. Now Composer 2.5 is already showing up rebranded inside the xAI stack, and if you pay for X Premium you can use it. Composer 3, trained on the Memphis supercluster, is reportedly coming very soon and is going to hit hard.Nisten's take was the spicy one. For the data alone it's worth it, because xAI now has insight into how essentially every enterprise that touched Cursor operates. And he had zero sympathy for the companies that assumed “no data retention for training” meant the data was actually gone. We see in legal cases all the time that deleted data is still there. His view: it should have gone open source.Cursor has over a million paying customers, $2.6 billion in revenue, projected to hit $6 to $10 billion by end of 2026. But here's the thing that matters for us, the AI coding angle. Cursor was one of Anthropic's biggest revenue pipelines because Composer runs on Claude under the hood. That pipeline is now owned by xAI. They're already jointly training Grok 4.3, a 1.5 trillion parameter model, with Cursor's proprietary coding data injected directly into pre-training, not fine-tuning. Pre-training. That's a fundamentally different thing. Composer 2.5 was already Pareto dominant on coding benchmarks before the deal closed. Now pair that with Colossus, the biggest GPU cluster in the world.Will this be enough to put XAI (now SpaceXAI) at the frontline of the AI race? Will Grok 5 be Fable level code? We'll find out. Either way, this is the most consequential AI acquisition we've seen. Period.Open Source AI GLM-5.2 takes the open source crown (X, Blog, HF, Docs)Z.ai dropped GLM-5.2 and it's now the strongest open source model for coding and long-horizon work. The headline number: 74.4% on FrontierSWE, which measures whether an agent can finish full engineering projects over hours. That trails Opus 4.8 by about one point and beats GPT-5.5. On Terminal-Bench 2.1 it jumps to 81% from GLM-5.1's 63.5%, which is a big leap. It's a 753B parameter MoE, MIT licensed, no regional restrictions, weights on HuggingFace. The 1M context window is real and usable, backed by a clever IndexShare technique that cuts per-token FLOPs by about 2.9x at full context. People are reporting roughly 8x cost savings versus Opus 4.8 for comparable quality on real coding tasks.The most interesting thing on the show was that this was a confusing release, in a good way. Peter put it well: normally a catching-up lab ships cherry-picked benchmarks and then independent testing deflates them. Here it's the opposite, almost every benchmark holds up, even crossing above Fable at certain points, and yet when he actually used it over a couple of days he wasn't blown away. His verdict, and I think it's the calibration we needed: this is clearly an amazing model, and the fact that it's open and you can run it is incredible, but it is nowhere near Fable, and it would frankly be implausible if a 700-odd-billion-parameter model matched a model that's rumored to be in the trillions. Though, I think the comparison to Fable is really really unfair, and the comments online seem to suggest that 5.2 from GLM is a banger model. Just looking at this Harvey benchmark on legal tasks from Vals, a benchmark that there's 0 chance Z.ai folks have seen! GLM 5.2 scores #3 on this benchmark! Just after Fable and Opus, and per TeorTaxes on X, previous GLM 5.1 scored an absolute 0% on this one! Where it genuinely shines is design. On Design Arena, which is a head-to-head ELO vote, people have been picking GLM-5.2's website designs over Fable's by a real margin (around 1360 to 1350). LDJ's framing is the one I buy: specialization is becoming valuable again, and GLM is clearly leaning into front-end design and taste. Wolfram added the necessary asterisk, every benchmark only tells you the model did well on that specific test, so “as good as Fable” should always carry the “on this benchmark, with these tasks” disclaimer. Fair. I'd just say this: I don't want to compare everything to Fable, because we can't even use Fable anymore. Compared to the models we can actually touch, GLM-5.2 is a fantastic deal.Kimi K2.7 Code from Moonshot (X, HF, Announcement)The other big drop. Kimi is the darling of open source while we wait on DeepSeek, and Moonshot shipped K2.7 Code, a 1 trillion parameter MoE built specifically for coding, available through Kimi Code and the API, with a modified MIT license. The standout for me isn't a single benchmark, it's efficiency: roughly 30% fewer reasoning tokens than K2.6, which matters enormously when you're running long agentic loops that burn tokens like crazy. Benchmark jumps over K2.6 are real (+21.8% on their Code Bench v2, +11% on Program Bench), though Peter and Wolfram both noticed something odd, on a few benchmarks including their Agentic Arena, the older K2.6 actually edged out K2.7. The likely explanation is that K2.7 is narrowly trained for code with reduced reasoning, so it may trade away some general capability. Moonshot themselves recommend K2.6 for general non-coding tasks. Also worth knowing: it's not multimodal, no vision, which is a real gap for coding these days. And thinking-off isn't supported, it's reasoning-on by default.The model is available on our CW Inference, with the fastest token streaming in the industry, over 280 tok/s (Announcement, try it), with very decent pricing $0.94 - $0.19 - $4.00 (input - cached - output) per million tokens.

Hey folks, Alex here, and welcome to a BIG MODEL week! We finally got Mythos (well almost)! Let me catch you up! This week started with WWDC26 from Apple, and Max Weinbach, who was in the room at Apple Park and actually has access to some of the new features including an all new SIRI AI, joined us to break down what could be the most used AI in the world very soon. At first I was skeptical, but he convinced me that the new Siri is actually good! Then, we saw the ultimate model drop: Anthropic finally shipped Mythos (X, my system card thread, benchmarks). Same weights, two names: Mythos 5 is the unrestricted version that only Project Glasswing partners get, Fable 5 is what the rest of us get, wrapped in the heaviest guardrails I've ever seen ship on a frontier model. It's state of the art on nearly every benchmarkThe model that was “too dangerous to release” is now... well, released, but with the heaviest guardrails we've seen. More on this later. Peter Gostev from Arena.ai joined us to break down the new model. Last but definitely not least, Google released a real-time translation model, that our friend Thor Schaeff from DeepMind demoed live, while we all spoke in different languages and it translated us in REAL TIME. It was really cool, definitely check that out. There's quite a few more things, like Loop Engineering Alpha, Swyx came by to talk about FrontierCode, OpenAI confirmed our suspicions that the anti-datacenter social media posts could be a concerted effort by groupds links to the Chinese government and much more. Let's dive in! ThursdAI - Let me catch you up, every week!

Most diets fail because they never address what the food was doing for you emotionally. In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy explains the stress-craving loop behind emotional eating, why ultra-processed foods feel impossible to resist, and how shame actually reinforces the cycle. You'll learn: • Why cravings feel automatic • How stress drives food urges • The “cue → urge → reward” loop • A simple 9-minute method to interrupt cravings This isn't about perfection or willpower. It's about understanding the pattern so you can finally begin to change it.   Citations:  Boswell, Rebecca G., and Hedy Kober. “Food Cue Reactivity and Craving Predict Eating and Weight Gain: A Meta-Analytic Review.” Obesity Reviews, vol. 17, no. 2, 2016, pp. 159–177. doi:10.1111/obr.12354.

In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy dives deep into the psychology of ultra-processed foods, compulsive eating, shame, and why so many people feel trapped in unhealthy food cycles. This conversation goes far beyond calories and willpower. Dr. McCarthy explains how ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods are intentionally engineered to drive repeat consumption, how emotional memories and stress shape cravings, and why shame-based nutrition advice often makes the problem worse instead of better. Topics covered in this episode include: • How ultra-processed foods affect the brain • Why compulsive eating is learned — and can be unlearned • The connection between trauma, stress, and food cravings • The difference between guilt and shame • How marketing and emotional associations shape eating habits • Why “clean eating” language can be harmful • The neuroscience of cravings, dopamine, serotonin, and reward • What real freedom with food actually looks like • Why self-compassion matters in healing If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of emotional eating, binge eating, food guilt, or shame around nutrition, this episode is for you.

Micha und Wolfram springen in dieser Folge mitten hinein in die Ära, in der Autounfälle plötzlich zur Spielmechanik wurden: Von verbeulten PS1-Karosserien in Twisted Metal bis zum Flipper-Chaos in Carmageddon rollen sie das Vehicular-Combat-Genre von seinen 90er-Wurzeln her auf. Inklusive der Frage, warum ausgerechnet diese Spiele damals wie der perfekte Sturm aus Metal-Ästhetik, Splatter-Humor und Medienpanik wirkten. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Nostalgie, sondern auch um die Verbindung zu heute: Was passiert, wenn man Twisted Metal mit all seinen irren Kostümen und Charakteren als Realserie umsetzt, wie mittlerweile in zwei Staffeln geschehen?Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei weniger die reine Historie als der Blick darauf, wie sich Wut im Stau, Endzeitfantasien à la „Mad Max“ und die damaligen Gewaltdebatten in Spieldesign übersetzen. Was davon schockiert heute eher, was funktioniert noch und wo grinst man vielleicht doch heimlich?Als Brückenschlag zur Gegenwart streuen die beiden eine Stimme aus Entwicklerkreisen ein: In ausgewählten Zitaten aus einem Interview mit Carmageddon: Rogue Shift-Director Giuseppe Franchi geht es darum, was für ihn den Kern der Reihe ausmacht und wie sich diese DNA in ein modernes Roguelite übertragen lässt.

For this week's podcast episode, host Kristin Hayes chats with Resources for the Future (RFF) Fellow Milan Elkerbout alongside Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor and RFF University Fellow and Board Member Catherine Wolfram to make sense of the significant new global launch of the Open Coalition on Compliance Carbon Markets at last year's 30th Conference of the Parties. In accordance with a key tenet of the Paris Agreement, the declaration of the Open Coalition establishes formal—and actionable—intent for the participating countries to align on a shared global framework for carbon markets. Elkerbout and Wolfram characterize this initiative as a sign of adapting to new dynamics that have been governing international climate negotiations, with strong possibility of more countries joining. With this momentum, Elkerbout and Wolfram note progress toward emissions reductions and climate cooperation.

Tuesday Hour 3: Bears in Indy, Vince Wolfram on College Hoops, & Lucas' Notebook

Today's guest is Stephen Wolfram, Founder and CEO of Wolfram Research. Wolfram is a pioneering computer scientist and physicist, best known for creating Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha, and for decades of work on complexity, computation, and the foundations of how systems evolve. Stephen joins Emerj CEO and Head of Research Daniel Faggella to explore how simple computational rules can give rise to complex, unpredictable systems, and what that means for the future of intelligence beyond biological life. The conversation examines concepts like computational irreducibility, adaptive evolution, and "bulk orchestration" at the molecular and digital level, framing how AI systems, biological organisms, and even physical processes can be understood as part of a broader computational universe. Stephen also shares practical perspectives on how these ideas translate into real-world AI development, including why coarse, outcome-driven objectives often outperform overly rigid design in machine learning, how enterprises can think about building systems that evolve rather than simply execute, and what leaders should understand about the limits of predictability, governance, and control as AI becomes more deeply embedded in business workflows.

What if everything you know about reality, intelligence, science, aliens, and even your own body…is wrong? In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Stephen Wolfram — the legendary computer scientist, theoretical physicist, mathematician, founder of Wolfram Research — reveals how the groundbreaking technologies he created are re-shaping our understanding of the universe itself. We dive into the limits of science, the secrets of biological evolution, and why computational irreducibility may explain why some mysteries of nature can never be predicted, only experienced. Dr. Wolfram breaks down whether his computations suggest humanity is cosmically significant…or completely insignificant in a universe built from the same atoms repeating the same rules everywhere. Discover why the objective reality you experience as a human might be totally different for other species, and why this could be the key to understanding alien intelligence, extrasensory perception, and why there might be alien minds all around us right now that we simply can't perceive. Dr. Stephen Wolfram also breaks down: - Does the body have its own language? (And, if so, what autoimmune disease might be “saying") - What can truly be built from random mutation, and why evolution even works at all - How reductionist science is limiting medicine, and how living matter actually behaves - Why AI may function as an alien mind, and what that reveals about the shocking simplicity of human language - What makes the human mind special, how we evolved this way, and why that very fact proves we are not the most advanced species possible - Do computers use a form of telepathy to communicate with one another? He even takes us behind the scenes of his work as a consultant on the hit film ARRIVAL, explaining how alien logograms connect to his research on how language shapes human thought, what abstract concepts a bigger brain could comprehend, and what kinds of ideas we might be biologically incapable of imagining. If you're fascinated by astrophysics, AI, consciousness, aliens, evolution, mathematics, language, or the limits of human understanding, this episode of MBB will challenge everything you think you know!
