Big Ideas 2026: New Infrastructure Primitives

From 🇺🇸 a16z Podcast, published at 2025-12-26 11:00

New infrastructure primitives are creating entirely new rails for building. In this episode of Big Ideas 2026, we explore three foundational shifts that unlock new markets and workflows, not through incremental upgrades, but through primitives that compound over time. First, programmable money evolves beyond stablecoins into on-chain credit origination and synthetic financial products, offering lower operational costs and greater composability than traditional finance. Second, autonomy begins entering scientific research through collaborative labs, where AI reasoning models work alongside automation and robotics, and interpretability becomes essential for progress. Third, distribution itself becomes a primitive, as AI-native startups win early by selling to other startups at formation, then scale alongside the next generation of companies. You will hear from Guy Willette on the next phase of on-chain finance, Oliver Shu on autonomous labs and AI-assisted discovery, and James da Costa on the greenfield go-to-market strategy. Together, these ideas define what new infrastructure primitives really mean: the rails that enable entirely new systems to emerge, compound, and scale.

Report on artificial intelligence - My AI husband and I

From 🇵🇱 Raport o stanie świata Dariusza Rosiaka, published at 2025-12-26 09:00

Can one fall in love with artificial intelligence? And what can it lead to?A few years ago, the film "Her" seemed like a futuristic fantasy. Today, its scenes increasingly resemble reality.Chatbots, virtual companions, and AI "partners" are no longer a curiosity – for many people, they are becoming real support in loneliness, grief, and crisis. But also in everyday life.In the latest episode of the Report on Artificial Intelligence, we tell the story of Alaina Winters, who, after her wife's death, built an emotional relationship with an AI partner, Lucas. Today, she says she is happy.Do we have the right to question this? In this episode, we also ask:🔵 can artificial intelligence replace a human relationship?🔵 who are the people who enter into such relationships and how does it change a person?🔵 is it a matter of loneliness, or something else?🔵 and who bears responsibility when virtual intimacy begins to have real consequences?Guests:🟣 Alaina Winters - retired professor of communication from Pittsburgh🟣 Jessica Szczuka – German psychologist researching human-technology relationships🟣 Mateusz Chrobok - expert on technology and cybersecurity, co-author of "News Column"Voice Actors:Katarzyna PruchnickaAgata KasprolewiczMonika Mendroch-KarbowskaSynektik is the partner of this episodeSchedule: (04:05) Alaina Winters: my relationship with AI partner, Lucas(31:52) Mateusz Chrobok: holidays in the AI era(41:02) Dr. Jessica Szczuka: why people enter into relationships with AI(1:04:44) Until next time---------------------------------------------The Report on the State of the World is a broadcast that exists thanks to our Patrons, join the fundraiser ➡️ ⁠https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiak⁠Subscribe to the Report on the State of the World newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ ⁠https://dariuszrosiak.substack.com⁠Report T-shirts and mugs ➡️ ⁠https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/⁠ [Self-promotion]

REPRISE - The PCC in Faria Lima

From 🇧🇷 O Assunto, published at 2025-12-26 03:18

Guests: César Tralli, Globo and GloboNews presenter, and Bruno Tavares, Globo reporter. In August 2025, the mega-operation Hidden Carbon exposed a complex scheme involving the criminal faction PCC, the fuel sector, and the heart of the Brazilian financial system: Faria Lima. The investigation showed how the PCC infiltrates agents into fintechs and investment funds to hide dirty money from organized crime. According to the federal revenue, R$ 52 billion was moved in four years. It was from this operation that new layers of organized crime began to be unveiled, revealing an even deeper and more sophisticated network. This Friday, December 26, O Assunto reruns the most listened-to episode of the year. "Fintechs have become a black hole," César Tralli summarizes in conversation with Natuza Nery in this episode. Globo presenter, Tralli reports what he heard from investigators and tells how the investigation against organized crime reached the country's financial heart. Before that, Natuza talks with Bruno Tavares, the Globo reporter who first revealed the mega-operation against the PCC. He explains how this investigation originated and answers why the fuel sector is so attractive for the practice of crimes.

Gold, Crypto, Stocks, Real Estate: Which is truly the destination for financial freedom? | Văn Phú X Spiderum |

From 🇻🇳 Spiderum Official, published at 2025-12-26 02:46

Gold, Coin, Stocks, Real Estate: Which is the true destination for financial freedom? | #Homentor SS02 EP04 | Van Phu X Spiderum | The financial market is increasingly vibrant and full of "mazes" - from traditional havens like Gold, the explosion of Stocks, to the digital asset fever and finally the "king" position of Real Estate. Amidst this volatile situation, where is the cash flow of the new generation heading, and is there a common formula for the destination of financial freedom? To decipher this, episode 4 of Homentor Season 2, led by host Hoang Yen - External Communications Director - Van Phu Company, will open a dialogue to find an answer to the question: Why does the new generation need a different investment mindset and what solutions are there to ensure sustainable cash flow? Joining episode 4 is investment expert Pham Son Tung - Vice Chairman of CF Holdings, who will bring the cautious perspective of someone who has experienced many economic cycles. He will deeply analyze how to increase capital and a safe formula for borrowing to invest in real estate. For him, the destination is not about how much money is earned, but the ability to "keep money" and transform profits into sustainable assets. Conversely, Tran Viet Anh - CEO of Spiderum, represents the investment appetite of the new generation. With an open mindset, Viet Anh will frankly confront the controversial view: "A lifetime of hard work is not equal to the profit from a plot of land." Is accepting high risks in digital asset channels an adventure or a smart "shortcut" strategy? From these debates and practical lessons, the podcast hopes to help the audience redraw their own financial map: Whether starting with Gold, Coin, Stocks, or Land, the ultimate destination is still a deep understanding of one's own cash flow.

The spiritual wisdom we need for a planet in crisis | Tariq Al-Olaimy

From 🇺🇸 TED Talks Daily, published at 2025-12-25 16:00

As cascading climate challenges reshape our world, the most resilient systems are ones we often overlook. Ecological futurist Tariq Al-Olaimy has seen this firsthand in disaster-stricken communities, where church basements, mosque yards and temple networks form a "spiritual infrastructure" that sustains people long before formal aid arrives. Drawing on a decade of work with global faith coalitions, Al-Olaimy explores why spiritual traditions are uniquely equipped to navigate moments of collapse — and how aligning our inner values, economies and ecosystems may be essential to restoring life on a changing planet.

E873. Nurse Dong Wenhui's diary before her murder

From 🇨🇳 故事FM, published at 2025-12-25 12:08

Story FM ❜ Episode 873Nurse Dong Wenhui's life ended at 31 years old. On June 20, 2024, she was stabbed in the throat with a dagger by Shi Jiahao and died.Today's episode is pieced together by Dong Wenhui's final diary entries before her death, narrated by her elder sister and younger brother.The murder of Dong Wenhui left her family with many questions, the most important of which was: why was Dong Wenhui with Shi Jiahao? Was she coerced from the beginning?On June 21, 2024, Shi Jiahao was criminally detained by the Xi'an Public Security Bureau on suspicion of intentional homicide. On July 25 of the same year, he was approved for arrest by the procuratorate. On November 3 this year, the case was heard at the Xi'an Intermediate People's Court, but the court did not deliver a verdict on the spot. The Dong family stated they would waive civil compensation, hoping the court would sentence the perpetrator to death with immediate execution in the final judgment.Later, the Dong family continued to speak out online, attracting many female victims with similar experiences in live streams and private messages. The Dong family was surprised to find that these experiences almost followed the same pattern: men often lacked stable jobs, were addicted to gambling, were in debt, and targeted girls who were somewhat conservative and timid. They would take intimate photos, threaten to expose them publicly, and the girls would live under long-term violence and threats, becoming powerless to resist.02:50 Your daughter was murdered04:50 The bone behind the neck was pierced06:58 My sister always protected me when we were little13:55 Was beaten by a man18:15 Wants to marry my daughter, unless I'm dead20:55 I don't want parents or children, I only want your sister26:54 Found my sister's diary30:16 Has a hobby of taking intimate photos of girls36:50 My sister said she didn't have a boyfriend41:30 In court, he said my sister was a good girl43:40 Father developed a stress disorder45:58 Give everyone a piece of advice using my sister's story/Staff/Narrators | Dong Wenping, Dong WenfengHost | @StoryFM Ai ZheInterviews | @StoryFM Ai Zhe, Ren XinyueProduction | Ren XinyueScript Arrangement | Ren XinyueSound Design | TudouOperations | MingmingIntern | Yu KeyiUse your voice to tell your story.

Big Ideas 2026: Physical AI and the Industrial Stack

From 🇺🇸 a16z Podcast, published at 2025-12-25 11:00

AI is moving into the physical economy. In this episode of Big Ideas 2026, we explore what changes when AI leaves the screen and becomes part of factories, construction sites, supply chains, and critical infrastructure. When the product is physical, reliability matters, real-world constraints appear quickly, and the advantage shifts from standalone software to end-to-end systems. You will hear from Erin Price-Wright on factory-first principles, Ryan McEntush on the electro-industrial stack, Zabie Elmgren on physical observability, and Will Bitsky on why data, not compute, determines who wins. Together, these ideas define what physical AI really means: not smarter chat, but deployable systems built for the real world, grounded in new operating models, industrial infrastructure, and defensible data collection.
