Felix Lobrecht (2025) - What stage of life are you in?

From 🇩🇪 Hotel Matze, published at 2025-12-14 05:00

We talk about what success really feels like, why his perfect day doesn't involve other people, why Felix has felt "never quite belonging" his entire life, and how he perceives his own influence. It's about overwhelm, obligations, shitstorms, the distrust bubble in Germany, Merz's cityscape statement, language and politics that squander trust. And we talk about growth, zenith, and the question: How do you stop wanting just a little bit more?

Iraqi detainee in Abu Ghraib prison

From 🇸🇦 فنجان مع عبدالرحمن أبومالح, published at 2025-12-14 03:00

Abu Ghraib prison, one of the most prominent prisons that gained notoriety during the American invasion of Iraq, especially after the revelation of torture practices and violations against detainees inside it.This episode features a testimony from one of the most famous former detainees, Ali Al-Qaisi, who became known after a photo of him being tortured with electric shocks went viral. Ali recounts his story from the beginning, from the moments leading up to the American invasion, the event that brought him into conflict with the Americans, details of his arrest, the first harsh interrogation inside the prison, and he tells us about the horrific five-day "welcome party" and the intimidation practices he was subjected to.Ali says that a detainee needs someone to listen to them, and for this reason, after his release from prison, he dedicated his life to documenting and monitoring the violations that detainees were subjected to. He calls for a center for their physical and psychological rehabilitation. - A newsletter from me, Abdulrahman Abumaleh, and the Finyal team for close podcast listeners.- Join me as a guest or suggest a topic you'd like to hear on Finyal.---------• Follow Saudi championships and other original content on the Thmanyah app• Download the "Thmanyah Radio" app.• Follow football news and its contexts first-hand in the "Informed Source" newsletter.• The leading digital group in the Middle East.• "Sobol" is a national group offering integrated logistical and geospatial solutions.• Safa Investment, premium residential solutions that meet your needs and exceed your expectations.• Invest and save smartly with Safqa Financial

124. Year-End Review [Standing Outside of 2025] A conversation with Dai Yusen about 2026 Expectations, The Year of R, Correction, How We Bet

From 🇨🇳 张小珺Jùn｜商业访谈录, published at 2025-12-13 23:00

Unconsciously, we have arrived at the last month of 2025. Amidst Beijing's first snow, we hope to reflect and look forward with everyone through a series: ["Beyond 2025"]. Today's guest is Dai Yusen, Managing Partner at ZhenFund. In episode 122, **Zhu Xiaohu claimed there would be no bubble within three years, calling the bubble theory pure nonsense, and urged entrepreneurs to advance at full speed in 2026.** **Yusen brings a fresh perspective today. In his view, the keyword for 2026 is "The Year of R"—Return and Research will once again become important. In a sense, 2026 will be a year of reality and recalibration.** **02:00 Review of 2025** 02:00 Progress from the model perspective: Thinking Time Scaling, represented by o1, has led to a significant improvement in model capabilities. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google's flagship models are closely competing, each with unique characteristics, leading to rotating expectations and narratives. Chinese model companies have dominated the open-source ecosystem over the past year. 28:13 Progress from the application perspective: The first year of Agents means the problem won't be solved in a year; it's still an Early Market, needing to cross the chasm. Agent comes from Agency; the key is autonomy, saving human time, and being able to complete novel tasks and solve unseen problems. 52:31 How many projects did ZhenFund invest in in 2025? Around 20. Comparing the valuations of Chinese and US AI companies, Chinese companies hold high option value for the global market: Thinking Machine's angel round valuation, without a product, already equals the total valuation of Chinese AI companies. Model companies: Mistral 14b, Kimi 4b. Mistral itself doesn't focus much on pre-training anymore; benchmarks are essentially against Kimi. Application companies: In the US, a company like Manus, achieving 100m ARR in a few months, with dozens of percentage points gross margin and 20% MoM growth, should be valued at 3-5bn. **01:03:15 Forecast for 2026: The Year of R** **The Year of R: Return, Research, Remember, Multimodal Reasoning** **01:03:15 Return:** Why is Return important? ROI: The past 3 years have been about investment, as everyone was attracted by potential big returns. But now, as I (investment) gets larger, there's increasing focus on the realization of R (return), because R is what drives future I. Why do we believe there will be increased focus on return in 2026? Models: Model capability improvement is the most essential driving force of this wave of AI revolution, but model capability improvement is slowing down; leading US labs have much higher investments (Capex, labor, etc.), but this cannot prevent Chinese models from low-cost follow-up. Scaling Law cannot be simply understood as "huge investment leads to miracles." Applications: Application narratives have evolved from AGI to three main current lines; dreams are shrinking. Subscription model: It's difficult to raise prices for ordinary users; the low-hanging fruit has been mostly picked, and competition is intensifying. Advertising + E-commerce: Firstly, a large part is existing market share distribution; then, for new forms of applications, the speed is not as fast. Usage models like AI Coding/Image Gen: Usage will increase, but token prices will also decrease. Non-frontier intelligence will quickly become flat rate; only the most SOTA tasks can charge by usage. Previously valuable tasks will become less valuable; replacing many programmers doesn't mean earning those programmers' salaries. Enterprise services: This early market segment is limited in size, with many early adopters but retention may not be great. Microsoft Copilot continues to underperform expectations; large companies don't adopt new technologies that quickly. Conclusion: We need to achieve the accelerated GDP growth Satya mentioned, expanding the pie is true AGI, e.g., AI creating new drugs, discovering new knowledge, etc. Investment: US infrastructure construction is slow now, computing power depreciates fast, and labor costs are high, so returns need to be seen quickly. Market setup: At the end of last year, expectations were not high, but we saw rapid growth in ChatGPT, and certainty in Coding and Agentic brought application opportunities. Now, expectations are very high, investments are huge, but revolutionary new capabilities are not seen on the model side in the short term, and new paradigms are still brewing. Implications for entrepreneurs? The time for negative margin for growth is passing; quality growth is needed. The very loose financing environment (in the US) might slow down. **01:16:13 Research:** **new paradigm:** AI history has always seen step-function improvements; new paradigms are needed to bring about large increases in AI capabilities again. Ilya: scaling and research alternate; now it's time for research again. Currently, Online Learning, world models, etc., are important research directions. **neo labs:** Thinking machines, SSI, Reflection, to recent Humans&, Periodic, Isara, etc. Because engineering and product development are very different from research, a relaxed environment, a culture of free exploration, without time and KPI constraints, is needed. Everyone hopes neo labs can explore new paths that differentiate from current leading model companies. **new benchmark:** Current benchmarks can no longer effectively reflect the differences in AI capabilities, nor are they suitable as model training targets. How to measure a model that exceeds human performance in most areas? Yao Shunyu pointed out that the second half has arrived; new benchmarks are needed. Implications for entrepreneurs: Pay attention to the progress of frontier research; breakthroughs in research may unlock new application opportunities. **01:21:00 Remember (Memory):** Memory is a key differentiator for AI applications; current Memory capabilities have significantly improved ChatGPT's retention. Current Memory is still basically retrieval-based, not achieving true understanding. This area is also a fiercely contested battleground for research; if done well, it will bring further improvements. Proactive Agent: Memory and context are needed to unlock Proactive Agent opportunities, and Proactive Agents are very important because human active use of AI has limited intent; AI actively serving people can create 10x scenario opportunities. **01:24:06 Multimodality:** Visual Reasoning may have major breakthroughs; humans are essentially Pixel Machines, understanding the world through visual input. One can pay attention to the performance improvement of Zerobench, a Visual Reasoning Benchmark; current leading models are still basically below 10 points. Nano Nanana means image generation has entered a usable era like Sonnet 3.5. So what will be the Cursor of Image-gen? GPT-3.5 unlocked ChatGPT, Sonnet 3.5 unlocked Cursor, Sonnet 3.7 unlocked Manus. What application opportunities will Nano Nanana/Veo unlock? Using Imagegen/Videogen inside ChatGPT is clearly not a comfortable experience. Voice is a very important opportunity: better, more natural interaction, understanding user context. Plaud, Granola, Wispr flow/Typeless, Suno? **01:30:29 AI Bubble** From the secondary market perspective, there might be a major correction next year, possibly in the second half. The book "Boom: Bubbles and the End of Stagnation" mentions two types of bubbles: good bubbles and bad bubbles. If a correction is expected, what will be the changes in investment strategy next year? How will the secondary market transmit to the primary market? How to view Zhu Xiaohu's statement: "No bubble for at least three years," "Their arguments are pure nonsense"? "Personally, I am completely out of the market right now." The valuation gap between China and the US is expected to narrow. **01:47:38 Entrepreneurship Changes and Advice** Based on the "Year of R" theory, what advice for entrepreneurs? How to judge founders in the AI era? What's the biggest difference from the internet era? Entrepreneurship is like F1 racing. Any projects missed in the past two years? Which directions have seen incremental growth due to AI? What are good interactions besides chatbots? This year, I personally talked to 150 projects, only invested in 2. **02:18:31 Also Talk About Life** Reflections on personal life: This year's reading, thinking, and life. Reflections on VC: Young investors need to differentiate themselves. Reflections on ordinary people: Learn to live in intelligence abundance. **02:29:50 Final Q&A** **Last question: You proposed the Year of R, and you've cleared your secondary market stocks. So, will you short them?** **02:36:10 At the end of this episode, I've included a casual chat with Yusen before the recording. We commented on some frequently discussed AI companies. If you find it interesting, you can continue listening.** **02:36:30** OpenAI 02:46:38 Google (I don't think Gemini can stop ChatGPT's growth, nor do I think Google is out of danger.) 03:06:36 Anthropic 03:11:05 Manus 03:19:47 Thinking Machines Lab, Safe Superintelligence Inc.

Guide to Mastering Your Emotions #BookSummary Master Your Emotions | MM EP.2564

From 🇹🇭 Mission To The Moon, published at 2025-12-13 13:00

Why do some days we wake up feeling irritable for no reason? Or sometimes we're so stressed we can't breathe properly, even though nothing bad has happened. The truth is, emotions don't just "happen"; they are created by our own thoughts, beliefs, and interpretations. Thibaut Meurisse's book, Master Your Emotions, will help us understand the mechanisms behind emotions, why our brain tends to focus on negative things, and how we can change our reactions to things to make emotions work for us, instead of letting them control us. #BookSummary#MasterYourEmotions#missiontothemoon#missiontothemoonpodcast

Washington wants to concentrate its efforts in the Western Hemisphere, especially in Latin America and the Indo-Pacific region. Europe – according to the strategy's authors – stands on the brink of "civilizational erasure," Russia is not treated as an enemy, but a partner, with whom Americans will seek to achieve strategic balance.

The Darkest Cult of Querétaro (7 horror stories)

From 🇲🇽 Relatos de la Noche, published at 2025-12-13 03:30

This edition of Night Tales brings together seven real stories ranging from the paranormal to the unsettlingly human. Tonight we travel through fog-shrouded tunnels, forests where something seems to “call” from the darkness, houses where a presence peers out just enough for memory not to let it go, and night jobs where the strange becomes routine. Throughout the episode, witchcraft, spirits, shadows, and also that kind of fear that doesn't always have a form… the fear of having seen something you shouldn't have seen. Seven distinct tales, united by the same feeling: that of not being alone, even when you think you've arrived home and closed the door. — 📖 You can now get our book in physical and digital bookstores.

Experience-driven Growth: Peet's, Atour, Genghis Wood

From 🇨🇳 疯投圈, published at 2025-12-13 00:00

As platform traffic peaks and online growth slows, more and more brands are starting to return offline, rebuilding user trust with "tangible, hands-on" experiences. In this episode, we start with several representative case studies to analyze how brands achieve dual-wheel driven growth through deep integration of online and offline channels. Peet's Coffee: How do over 300 offline stores feed back into online retail? Mr. Savage and Chicecream: Both are high-priced ice creams, yet Chicecream ended in bankruptcy. Why can Mr. Savage rapidly expand nationwide and maintain a high premium? Does Mr. Savage's signature "made-to-order at specific times" experience create new value for the ice cream industry? Atour: Sleep products are an extremely difficult area to build a brand in. What were the key nodes for Atour to transition from "hotel experience" to "online bestseller"? Why is it said that although retail business is growing rapidly, the on-site experience remains Atour's foundation? Yuanshi Muyu: With the real estate downturn and a general decline in the furniture industry, how did a furniture brand that started on Taobao rapidly grow to surpass IKEA China, achieving ¥20 billion in annual sales? What did this low-key furniture brand get right in its core business model? Crazy Ones Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

When Chicago pawned its parking meters

From 🇺🇸 Planet Money, published at 2025-12-12 23:59

In 2008, Chicago’s budget was in a bad place. The city needed money. One way to raise money was to increase property taxes, but what politician wants to do that? So instead, Mayor Richard M. Daley’s administration looked around at the resources the city had, and thought, ‘Any of this worth anything?’ They opted to lease out the city’s metered parking system — to privatize all 36,000 of its parking meters. The plan: have private companies bid on operating the meters, modernizing the system, and keeping the profits for a certain number of years. In exchange, they would give Chicago a big lump sum payment. The winning bid was $1.16 billion dollars for a 75-year lease. Today’s episode is the story of how that bid got put together, and how it came to be hated. There are kidnapped parking meters, foot chases through City Hall, and trash bags filled with secret documents.
