Meta's shares jumped more than 10 per cent off the back of better than expected second-quarter earnings, and the Federal Reserve held rates steady despite calls to lower borrowing rates by US President Donald Trump. Plus, American copper prices fell after Trump exempted refined materials from a 50 per cent tariff on the metal, and HSBC profits declined by 29 per cent.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
Mark Zuckerberg just published a major essay on Meta's vision for “Personal Superintelligence,” claiming their AI is beginning to show signs of self-improvement. This follows Meta's aggressive talent push, with billion-dollar offers to AI researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic—many of which are being declined. Zuckerberg contrasts competitors by promoting superintelligence as a tool for personal empowerment, not just labor automation and UBI. Reactions are mixed: some praise the individual focus, while others question whether Meta's ad-driven model can deliver—or if it's quietly retreating from open source commitments.Ask GPT about our Agent Readiness Audits - https://bit.ly/supersuperagentBrought to you by:KPMG – Go to https://kpmg.com/ai to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to https://blitzy.com/ to build enterprise software in days, not months AGNTCY - The AGNTCY is an open-source collective dedicated to building the Internet of Agents, enabling AI agents to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across frameworks.

In the season two opener of How They Lead, West Peak's co-founders return to unpack the biggest shifts in leadership, people performance, and business since their last series. From launching West Peak US, the epidemic of disengaged employees, geopolitical turmoil, AI disruption, and generational divides, this candid episode sets the tone for the future of high-performance leadership.Key TakeawaysLeadership must evolve to address rising attrition, disengagement, and post-pandemic workforce expectations.Quiet coasting has overtaken quiet quitting as a major issue. Underperformers doing just enough without being held accountable.Toxic top performers can be as damaging as disengaged team members if not managed.AI integration is here, from AI board seats to team structures involving digital agents.Cultural clarity is critical. Values and behavioral expectations must be explicit and consistently upheld.Leadership training is no longer optional. The cost of inaction is steep, with replacement costs reaching 2.5–3x base salary.West Peak US is live, with events now happening in Austin, New York, and LA.Employee-Owned Trusts and scaling startups are actively investing in leadership development.Success requires performance AND psychological safety, not one or the other.Soundbites"Your mood equals their mood.""Quiet quitting is now quiet coasting.""No one joins a company wanting to be an asshole. We create them when we don't hold people to account.""You have to put your own oxygen mask on first. Leaders need development too.""The cost of replacing someone is now 2.5 to 3x base salary.""Culture eats strategy for breakfast, but most businesses still aren't serving culture at all.""You can't challenge performance if you haven't made your values explicit.""Mark Zuckerberg is offering OpenAI engineers $100 million salaries. Good luck competing without culture."Chapters00:00 Introduction01:03 Leadership Landscape Update02:04 Expansion into the US Market06:13 Business Growth Breakfasts09:22 Shifts in Business Performance12:39 The Impact of Attrition Rates16:09 Navigating Toxicity and Performance20:50 Establishing Values for Accountability22:12 Psychological Safety in Leadership27:04 Generational Workforce Dynamics30:38 The Role of AI in Leadership31:47 Cost of Developing Leaders vs. Attrition Costs Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textStan Gregor, the dynamic CEO of Summit Financial, reveals how his firm achieved an extraordinary tenfold growth in just eight years, building a $25 billion wealth management powerhouse by doing what others claimed was impossible.At the heart of Summit's remarkable success lies a revolutionary approach to culture. Rather than adopting traditional employer-employee relationships, Gregor implemented what he calls the "family business model" — treating partners as family members rather than subordinates. "Build a business as if you're doing it with your children," he explains, eliminating bureaucratic middle management layers that filter truth and stifle innovation.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Gregor shares a pivotal moment that shaped his leadership philosophy. After spotting a subway advertisement that read, "If it wasn't for sports, people would not believe in miracles," he embraced the mindset that seemingly impossible challenges became his greatest motivation. "Every time somebody told me, 'Stan, your ideas are so crazy they're not going to work,' that's the adrenaline shot in the arm that makes you want to prove them wrong."Greger distinguishes between what he calls "C players" and "O players" in business. Most people create what he terms "the C factor" — they draw the letter C but never complete the circle. True innovators like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg draw the full "O" by focusing on complete execution. This commitment to excellence helped Summit grow from $4 billion to over $25 billion in just four years, particularly thriving through the COVID-19 pandemic when other firms struggled.Looking beyond financial success, Gregor emphasizes the importance of balancing mental health, physical wellness, and spiritual connection in leadership. His guidance for aspiring professionals? "Do not take a job just to make money. Whatever you do in life, make it a purpose to do something that you truly will enjoy — and then make sure you are financially rewarded for that."Discover more about Summit Financial's innovative approach at summitfinancial.com, where they continue to redefine wealth management through their five specialized divisions.To Learn more about Stan: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stan-gregor-2113465 To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.

Beleggers van farmaceut Novo Nordisk zijn afvallig. Het aandeel wordt gedumpt, want de directie komt met misselijkmakend nieuws.

Concurrent Eli Lilly doet het beter. Alleen profiteert het aandeel van de concurrent niet van de neergang van Novo Nordisk. Sterker nog: die gaat ook hard onderuit. Beleggers denken namelijk dat de hele sector overdreven is.Daar hebben we het deze aflevering over. Is de markt voor afvalmedicatie niet gewoon een hype?Hoor je ook over heel veel ander nieuws, want het was een drukke beursdag. Philips bijvoorbeeld, dat hield een zegetocht op de Amsterdamse beurs. Eens géén winstwaarschuwing voor Philips, maar juist een opwaardering voor de winst. Een bedankje daarvoor kan naar het Witte Huis.Waar dan geen muziek in zit, is Spotify. De streamer stelt teleur en dat is heel lang geleden. Er komen meer abonnees bij, maar Spotify maakt onverwachts verlies.Verder in deze aflevering: De Britten hebben een betere deal de EU.

We hebben er lang op moeten wachten, maar het is eindelijk zover: er ligt een deal tussen de VS en de EU. Wat begon als een golftripje van Donald Trump naar Schotland eindigde in top-overleg met Ursula von der Leyen. Samen vertelden ze met een glimlach wat de uitkomst van de onderhandelingen is. Maar of beleggers diezelfde glimlach moeten hebben, dat is nog maar de vraag. Want in het rijtje aan eisen en voorwaarden staan vooral voordelen voor de VS. Heeft Europa zichzelf gered van een doemscenario, of heeft het overhaast een deal willen bereiken? Die vraag beantwoorden we deze aflevering voor je. Dan hoor je ook uitgebreid wie er in de huidige deal de grote winnaars en verliezers zijn. En wat er in de komende maanden nog kan gaan veranderen. Daarnaast hebben we het ook over een andere mega-deal. Twee bedrijven die er slecht voorstaan bundelen de krachten, om allebei hun eigen concurrenten weer aan te kunnen. Tesla en Samsung gaan voor 16,5 miljard dollar met elkaar in zee. Tesla betaalt daarmee een groot deel van een investering in een nieuwe chipfabriek van Samsung terug. En Samsung belooft de volgende generatie AI-chips voor Tesla te maken. En we vertellen je over de foute inschatting van Heineken. Dat presenteert met trots de halfjaarcijfers, maar dondert naar beneden op de beurs. Beleggers maken zich zorgen om de dalende verkoopvolumes. Waarom heeft de topman die zorgen niet?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[previously in series: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] It is eerily silent in San Francisco tonight. Since Mayor Lurie's crackdown, the usual drug hawkers, catcallers, and street beggars are nowhere to be seen. Still, your luck can't last forever, and just before you reach your destination a man with bloodshot eyes lurches towards you. You recognize him and sigh. "Go away!" you shout. "Hey man," says Mark Zuckerberg, grabbing your wrist. "You wanna come build superintelligence at Meta? I'll give you five million, all cash." "I said go away!" "Ten million plus a Lambo," he counters. "I don't even know anything about AI!" you say. "I'll pay you fifty million to learn." “F@$k off!”
Subscribe to one of the paid tiers on the PPM Patreon to access "AmerIsraeli Yarvin of Lead" in its entirety: patreon.com/ParaPowerMappingPicking our AmerIsraeli Years of Lead & PayPal Mafia Occupied Gov't investigation back up, we begin by synopsizing some of the basics of Curtis Yarvin's Neoreactionary (NRx) politics. We then move into an incomplete parapower mapping of his influence on the current Trump administration and their PayPal Mafia benefactors, illustrating how Elon's DOGE is the direct successor of Yarvin's RAGE concept. We detail how his Thiel backed distributed message board software Urbit is basically a repackaging of Usenet. We then shift gears into into the ironic psychodrama of Yarvin's advocacy for a government bureaucracy-purging coup by virtue of his father Herbert's multi-decade "Foreign Service" career. This brings us to one of the primary fulcrums of this investigation, the reasonable-but-thus-far unverifiable suspicion that Herbert Yarvin may have actually been a CIA officer/agent or analyst under diplomatic cover, and the reality that, either way, Curtis Yarvin is a kind of spooky deep state nepo-baby, context that should reorient perspectives when it comes to his pseud career as a theorist of “Cathedral” disruption.We then gloss some evidence supporting Herbert-Yarvin-as-Company-man by way of his Brown University Philosophy program peer Arnold Cusmariu, who worked as an philosophical analyst for the agency for more than 3 decades, much of which overlapped with Yarvin's Foreign Service career. We layout how a PoliSci faculty member named Lyman Kirkpatrick, who happened to be former top brass at the CIA and a onetime DCI hopeful, attempted to recruit Arnold Cusmariu in the ‘70s, showing that there is a high probability that Curtis Yarvin's Dad and Arnold knew each other by way of their shared thesis faculty advisor Ernest Sosa, increasing the chances they may have been part of the same Company cohort (we also hint at the void of evidence supporting Curtis' Mom's purported State career, which could be suspicious in its own right).We then discuss how both Curtis and his brother Norman were “gifted & talented” students and the recipients of scholarships from the State Department and that Curtis even partook in this groundbreaking longitudinal Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth at Johns Hopkins as a preteen, which was administered by the Godfather of the nationwide gifted ed programs of the late ‘80s, ‘90s, and early ‘00s... Which is intriguing considering some of Yarvin's fellow alumni Precocious Math study alumni are Epstein affiliate Sergey Brin (2 months younger than Curtis) and Mark Zuckerberg. We also examine his child prodigy escapades through the prism of online rumors that GATE was basically a covert CIA mind control talent search. We draw some loose deep politics comparisons to figures like Michael Riconosciuto, Ted Kaczynski, Jack Sarfatti, and the strategy of tension theorists.

Het gaat om relatie tussen Apple en China in de Bright Podcast deze week. De soms liefdevolle, soms ingewikkelde verhouding zou Apple volgens een nieuw boek niet alleen veel gebracht, maar ook veel gekost hebben. We duiken er dieper in: hoe is die relatie zo gekomen, en is die eigenlijk wel gezond? Verder in deze aflevering: de eiland-bunker van Mark Zuckerberg, Google Maps met een onaangename verrassing, Gen Z deelt hun locatie meer dan wie dan ook, kwantum-internet een stap dichterbij en meer. Tips uit deze aflevering: Game: Donkey Kong Bananza voor de Nintendo Switch 2. De beste game van het jaar tot nu toe, puur plezier, innovatief maar extreem toegankelijk, Nintendo is zijn touch nog lang niet kwijt. Video: Nothing reacts to Phone (3). Nothing-CEO Carl Pei reageert zoals altijd op reviews, dit keer Phone (3) en die zijn niet best. Een beetje een kat in het nauw, wel eerlijk, soms hilarisch. Game: Chess.com, waar je online schaakt, tegen de computer, leert schaken, je spel analyseert en meer. Dat kan allemaal gratis, maar met slimme limieten: stiekem ook een masterclass in abonnees werven.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Lately, tech companies like Meta have been putting hundreds of billions toward building new data centers to power their AI ambitions. Some communities have been pushing back, however, arguing these facilities strain local resources. But demand for data centers isn't expected to slow down anytime soon. On the show today, Landon Marston, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech, explains what data centers actually are, why they require so much energy and water to operate, and how they can affect nearby communities. Plus, how can data centers become more sustainable?Later, reflections on Medicaid cuts and the power of journaling. And, a listener makes us smarter about “100-year floods.”Here's everything we talked about today:"Their Water Taps Ran Dry When Meta Built Next Door" from The New York Times"Coreweave stock pops after company announces $6 billion AI data center in Pennsylvania" from CNBC"Meta's Zuckerberg pledges hundreds of billions for AI data centers in superintelligence push" from Reuters "How A.I.

Your thoughts on the kiss-cam episodeAndrew Ross Sorkin's note yesterday about Andy Byron, the C.E.O. of a tech start-up caught on camera with a colleague from H.R. at a Coldplay concert, struck a nerve with DealBook readers, who have flooded our inbox with responses: “The moment seems to encapsulate the pervasive schadenfreude within our culture, especially our office culture, and a deep-seated animosity toward bosses and colleagues,” Andrew wrote. “It highlights a zero-sum mentality in which a colleague's success is perceived as your loss, and their failure your gain.” He added that, “The incident also underscores our surveillance state.”Here's what readers had to say:“The surveillance state is a bit aggressive of a take on this. They were lovingly embracing at a concert during a love song while the kiss cam was on the prowl.” — Bob McMurtry“The public is not just reacting to someone else's misfortune, it is reacting to the utter hypocrisy revealed yet again by those in power who dictate rules that others should follow, yet arrogantly disregard following them themselves. Employees endure hours of H.R. training on the impropriety of workplace relationships, especially between manager and subordinate, yet the actual HEAD of H.R. engages in an affair with her married C.E.O. Do you not see the specific irony of this outing?” — Jim Woidat“I don't think we commoners' resentment of C.E.O.s is so much about jealousy as it is about pay inequality (their pay rate today vs. what it was a few decades ago) and stuff like golden parachutes.” — Tom EshbaughWhat nobody is talking about:Before the kisscam: 12 executives (11 men and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot); 6 directors (all men)They've also disabled their LinkedIn links and yetAstronomer board launches investigation after viral Coldplay 'kiss cam' video appears to show CEO embracing HR chiefDealBook Hot Take: Board members should be licensedJonathan Foster, a consultant and former managing director at Lazard, has served on more than 50 corporate boards. Along the way, he says, he has encountered directors who have stayed too long, or ones whose “knowledge of financial statements and M&A is lacking.” He drew on that experience in “On Board: The Modern Playbook for Corporate Governance,” his new book.One of his big ideas for improving director performance: “a license,” he told DealBook, like the kind required “for investment bankers, doctors, lawyers, even massage therapists.”That, he said, “might increase confidence in corporate directors.”How it would work: Some of the requirements Foster envisions include 10 years of work experience, being at least 35 and passing an exam covering legal standards, basic accounting and finance principles, and ethics. “It doesn't have to be particularly onerous,” he said, comparing it to the Series 7 exam for financial advisers.To issue licenses, he says, the New York Stock Exchange could oversee an organization like Harvard Business School or the National Association of Corporate Directors. He says he sees the arrangement as akin to how the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board operates under the authority of the S.E.C. That independent nonprofit group, he noted, “has commissioners, and they go do their thing, but they're ultimately responsible to and can be pre-empted by the S.E.C.”Is it workable? DealBook asked Edward Rock, a professor of corporate governance at the New York University School of Law. He said he worried that standardized requirements for diverse companies could disqualify board members with otherwise strong attributes. For example, he wrote in an email to DealBook, “Why would anyone want to prevent Mark Zuckerberg (28 at the time of Facebook's I.P.O.) or Larry Page and Sergey Brin” — both in their thirties when Google listed — “from serving on the board of directors of Facebook and Google?”(Foster said exceptions could be created, including for founders.)Shareholders have an incentive to demand the most qualified board members, Rock continued, and they tend to do so.Coca-Cola will roll out cane sugar version of namesake soda in the U.S. this fallPrivate jet sales are poised for takeoff thanks to a revived tax breakA federal tax change now lets companies write off the full cost of buying a private jet in year oneStarbucks' formerly remote CEO has bought a home in Seattle and he's ordering all staff back to the office 4 days a week Jeff Bezos taps former Amazon Alexa head to lead $10 billion Earth fundElon Musk's other companies could soon pour billions into his AI startupSpaceX, the rocket company Musk founded and controls, is reportedly investing $2 billion into xAI, his AI startup best known for the chatbot GrokElon Musk promises Tesla shareholders a vote over buying equity in his Grok startup: ‘If it was up to me, Tesla would have invested in xAI long ago'Musk's xAI faces European scrutiny over Grok's 'horrific' antisemitic postsElon Musk's AI chatbot Grok is now working with the federal governmentElon Musk's Neuralink filed as 'disadvantaged business' before being valued at $9 billionOpenAI warns that its new ChatGPT Agent has the ability to aid dangerous bioweapon developmentA Staggering Proportion of Teens Say Talking to AI Is Better Than Real-Life FriendsElon Musk announces Baby Grok AI chatbot designed specifically for children's learning needsTelegram CEO Pavel Durov on French probe against Elon Musk's Twitter: “at this point, any tech company can be declared a ‘criminal gang' in France".

C dans l'air l'invitée du 21 juillet 2025 - Raphaëlle Bacqué, grand reporter au journal Le Monde"L'âge d'or de l'Amérique commence maintenant !", a lancé Donald Trump lors de son investiture, le 20 janvier 2025. Ce jour-là, à ses côtés : les anciens présidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, et la vice-présidente Kamala Harris. Mais ce que l'on retient surtout, c'est la présence d'Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai ou encore Sam Altman, figures de proue de la tech américaine. Dans une série de six articles, la journaliste Raphaëlle Bacqué retrace leur ascension fulgurante et leur ralliement progressif à Donald Trump. Certains étaient pourtant de fervents défenseurs des démocrates. En 2021, après l'assaut du Capitole, Meta avait suspendu les comptes de Trump. Quatre ans plus tard, Mark Zuckerberg verse un million de dollars à l'organisation de l'investiture de Donald Trump et s'apprête à l'indemniser à hauteur de 25 millions. Chez Meta, les sujets politiques, religieux ou liés au genre sont désormais tabous. Une dérive autocratique s'observe au sein de l'entreprise.Le virage est général. Jeff Bezos, propriétaire du "Washington Post" depuis 2013, avait lui aussi soutenu Hillary Clinton, puis Joe Biden. Il a depuis obtenu que la rédaction s'abstienne de prendre parti pour la dernière présidentielle américaine. Les affaires priment sur les idéologies. Quant à Elon Musk, hilare au premier rang, il incarne à la fois la démesure et l'audace. Sur X (ex-Twitter), il insulte, modifie les algorithmes au gré de ses humeurs et attaque désormais Donald Trump sur l'affaire Epstein. De meilleur ami à meilleur ennemi, le divorce entre Donald Trump et Elon Musk semble consommé.Comment ces patrons de la tech ont-ils rallié Donald Trump ? Quelle influence exercent-ils sur la vie politique américaine ? Et comment redessinent-ils les rapports de pouvoir ?Raphaëlle Bacqué, grand reporter au journal Le Monde décrypte comment les patrons de la Silicon Valley, de Google à Amazon en passant par Meta, ont choisi de rallier Donald Trump.
