Pei Minxin: Why Xi Jinping's emergence is a high-probability event?From 🇨🇳 不明白播客, published at 2025-12-12 23:00
For a long time, the West generally believed that China's economic development would eventually lead to political democratization. However, the reality after forty years of reform and opening-up is precisely the opposite: after Xi Jinping came to power, China not only did not continue to move towards openness but rapidly returned to a repressive totalitarian system.In his new book, "The Broken China Dream," Professor Minxin Pei puts forward an important argument: today's resurgence of totalitarianism is not accidental, but the inevitable outcome of the internal logic of forty years of reform and opening-up. In this episode, we will review with Professor Pei: Why did China's political system transformation fail? Why are Xi Jinping-style leaders almost inevitable under this system? Why did economic growth in China not promote democracy, but instead weakened the impetus for reform? How was the massive totalitarian machine gradually restarted? And how did the "China Dream," once full of high hopes, gradually fall apart?Welcome to donate to the Bumingbai Podcast by clicking here: https://www.bumingbai.net/donation/Timestamps:00:53 The journey of studying China: From cautious optimism to "The Broken China Dream"04:03 Three political reform threads in the 1980s: Party institutionalization, social loosening, and top-level design08:24 Why did the political reform blueprint die prematurely?09:48 Why was "institutionalization" within the Party just a house of cards?13:09 Why is democratic transition difficult for China's totalitarian system?19:59 How does economic development instead hinder democracy?

AI to AE's: Grit, Glean, and Kleiner Perkins' next Enterprise AI hit — Joubin Mirzadegan, RoadrunnerFrom 🇺🇸 Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast, published at 2025-12-12 20:50
Glean started as a Kleiner Perkins incubation and is now a $7B, $200m ARR Enterprise AI leader. Now KP has tapped its own podcaster to lead it’s next big swing. From building go-to-market the hard way in startups (and scaling Palo Alto Networks’ public cloud business) to joining Kleiner Perkins to help technical founders turn product edge into repeatable revenue, Joubin Mirzadegan has spent the last decade obsessing over one thing: distribution and how ideas actually spread, sell, and compound. That obsession took him from launching the CRO-only podcast Grit (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRiWZFltuYPF8A6UGm74K2q29UwU-Kk9k) as a hiring wedge, to working alongside breakout companies like Glean and Windsurf, to now incubating Roadrunner which is an AI-native rethink of CPQ and quoting workflows as pricing models collapse from “seats” into consumption, bundles, renewals, and SKU sprawl. We sat down with Joubin to dig into the real mechanics of making conversations feel human (rolling early, never sending questions, temperature + lighting hacks), what Windsurf got right about “Google-class product and Salesforce-class distribution,” how to hire early sales leaders without getting fooled by shiny logos, why CPQ is quietly breaking the back of modern revenue teams, and his thesis for his new company and KP incubation Roadrunner (https://www.roadrunner.ai/): rebuild the data model from the ground up, co-develop with the hairiest design partners, and eventually use LLMs to recommend deal structures the way the best reps do without the Slack-channel chaos of deal desk. We discuss: How to make guests instantly comfortable: rolling early, no “are you ready?”, temperature, lighting, and room dynamics Why Joubin refuses to send questions in advance (and when you might have to anyway) The origin of the CRO-only podcast: using media as a hiring wedge and relationship engine The “commit to 100 episodes” mindset: why most shows die before they find their voice Founder vs exec interviews: why CEOs can speak more freely (and what it unlocks in conversation) What Glean taught him about enterprise AI: permissions, trust, and overcoming “category is dead” skepticism Design partners as the real unlock: why early believers matter and how co-development actually works Windsurf’s breakout: what it means to be serious about “Google-class product + Salesforce-class distribution” Why technical founders struggle with GTM and how KP built a team around sales, customer access, and demand gen Hiring early sales leaders: anti-patterns (logos), what to screen for (motivation), and why stage-fit is everything The CPQ problem & Roadrunner’s thesis: rebuilding CPQ/quoting from the data model up for modern complexity How “rules + SKUs + approvals” create a brittle graph and what it takes to model it without tipping over The two-year window: incumbents rebuilding slowly vs startups out-sprinting with AI-native architecture Where AI actually helps: quote generation, policy enforcement, approval routing, and deal recommendation loops — Joubin X: https://x.com/Joubinmir LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joubin-mirzadegan-66186854/ Where to find Latent Space X: https://x.com/latentspacepod Substack: https://www.latent.space/ Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction and the Zuck Interview Experience 00:03:26 The Genesis of the Grit Podcast: Hiring CROs Through Content 00:13:20 Podcast Philosophy: Creating Authentic Conversations 00:15:44 Working with Arvind at Glean: The Enterprise Search Breakthrough 00:26:20 Windsurf's Sales Machine: Google-Class Product Meets Salesforce-Class Distribution 00:30:28 Hiring Sales Leaders: Anti-Patterns and First Principles 00:39:02 The CPQ Problem: Why Salesforce and Legacy Tools Are Breaking 00:43:40 Introducing Roadrunner: Solving Enterprise Pricing with AI 00:49:19 Building Roadrunner: Team, Design Partners, and Data Model Challenges 00:59:35 High Performance Philosophy: Working Out Every Day and Reducing Friction 01:06:28 Defining Grit: Passion Plus Perseverance

Electoral crisis in Honduras: “The process has been tarnished by external pressure”From 🇦🇷 Cara o Ceca, published at 2025-12-12 20:25
Almost two weeks after the elections, it is still unknown who will lead the country. Congress, through the Permanent Commission, maintained that it would not validate the results and showed its total rejection of US interference in the process after Donald Trump showed his support for candidate Nasry Asfura. “This process has been tarnished by external pressures. It is the first time that a US president has intervened on behalf of a candidate. In addition to that, pressures from gang members were reported during election day against the Liberal Party and in favor of the National Party,” said Hugo Noé Pino, vice-president of the National Congress of Honduras, on Cara o Ceca.

AI Eats the World: Benedict Evans on the Next Platform ShiftFrom 🇺🇸 a16z Podcast, published at 2025-12-12 19:00
AI is reshaping the tech landscape, but a big question remains: is this just another platform shift, or something closer to electricity or computing in scale and impact? Some industries may be transformed. Others may barely feel it. Tech giants are racing to reorient their strategies, yet most people still struggle to find an everyday use case. That tension tells us something important about where we actually are. In this episode, technology analyst and former a16z partner Benedict Evans joins General Partner Erik Torenberg to break down what is real, what is hype, and how much history can guide us. They explore bottlenecks in compute, the surprising products that still do not exist, and how companies like Google, Meta, Apple, Amazon, and OpenAI are positioning themselves. Finally, they look ahead at what would need to happen for AI to one day be considered even more transformative than the internet.

With over half a century of living, studying, and working across various cultures, he has dedicated himself to explaining the profound connection between the Vietnamese people and water.
