  • Milly

    I listen to a lot of podcasts (instead of radio) and listen to 3-4 news podcasts as I get ready each day. This podcast used to be my first or second go to every day. For the last few months I find myself not listening, the topics seem to be rehashing the same views every day. Please go back to the diverse reporting on diverse topics.

  • A little out of touch

    Samantha Hawley laughing at matters which are deadly serious or which have harmed people is inappropriate. Otherwise excellent content.

  • Food for thought!

    This is something that just popped into my head while listening to this podcast. It is stimulating food for thought. Looking forward to more insight as to global developments evolve in unpredictable ways.

    TACO, NACHO , now ‘PADDY’

    It’s a PADDY! Pump And Dump; Damm Ya(all)!

    This only works if the market remains buoyant. Often overlooked is the notion that a stock market boom effectively prints more money a.k.a. unrealised capital gains.

  • Not the same

    The reporting feels more alarmist, conservative and click-baity than it ever used to be.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Firmus 'flop' warning for the AI bubble
Q: Would we be reading too much into all of this to reach that conclusion at this point?
Di Stefano says the failed float reasonably raises questions about an AI bubble, as investors may be funding infrastructure ahead of demonstrated demand and execution. He cautions that AI may continue to develop even if the bubble bursts and causes losses.
The Firmus 'flop' warning for the AI bubble
Q: So just tell me about that.
Di Stefano describes Firmus's origins as a Bitcoin mining company founded by Oliver Curtis and his cousin, Tim Rosenfeld, and its later pivot to AI data centres.
The mathematician taking on AI
Q: When OpenAI announced it had succeeded in cracking this problem, how did you feel, what went through your mind?
Buckmaster says his team had already been in contact with OpenAI after a leak reportedly suggested they had solved the problem. He says OpenAI later announced its own solution, and he remains uncertain whether it used data from his work.
The mathematician taking on AI
Q: What is the Navier-Stokes problem?
It asks whether a fluid described by the Navier-Stokes equation can develop an unphysical state, such as a particle traveling at infinite velocity.
Why pregnancy is still costing women their jobs
Q: So, what are the loopholes that she's referring to?
Dias explains that workplace policies that appear neutral can disproportionately affect pregnant women and parents. She also identifies the one-year employment requirement for statutory unpaid leave as a protection gap that can leave women vulnerable to discrimination.
