Why are food videos so popular online? And why are the most viral ones also the grossest?Today we’re looking back at the history of food videos, from Food Wishes to the hands-only top-down video style pioneered by Tasty to making cereal in a toilet bowl pioneered by TikTok. Petey USA, a creator and musician who’s had a lot of really weird bad stuff to eat while on tour, joins us to about food video culture online — and why we don’t care if it’s good, bad, or absolutely horrifying — we’re gonna

Protecting people online shouldn’t depend on whether a company keeps its safety tools effective, affordable, and available. ROOST founding president Camille François joins Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger to explain how a nonprofit is turning trust and safety into shared infrastructure. She digs into why social media was a blip in how we build tech, what Discord did after Twitter bought Smyte and shut it down, and how two people running a fandom app caught 19 cases of child exploitation in two weeks. A

You've probably never heard of Inkling. It's the newest (and first) model from Thinking Machines Labs, and it could very well be a small snowball that picks up major momentum in today's enterprise AI landscape. If you haven’t heard of Thinking Machines, they’re led by Mira Murati, the former CTO at OpenAI. The big bet with Inkling? The future of AI could be using smaller models fine-tuned and optimized for smaller tasks. Will it work? Tune in live as ...

Pure silicon is a disappointing material: it barely conducts and barely insulates, and you could hold a crystal in your hand and watch it do nothing. So why is it the foundation of a trillion-dollar industry? This episode climbs five levels of complexity, starting with the basic physics of conductors, insulators, and the narrow band gap in between, then descending into electrons, holes, and the doping process that turns a useless crystal into a working device. From there it's p-n junctions, diodes,

GTA 6 hasn’t even launched yet, but its impact is already being felt across the gaming hardware market.In Japan, demand for the PlayStation 5 Pro has become so intense that Sony is requiring some buyers to prove their gaming history before they can even enter a purchase lottery.

What happens when an AI agent doesn’t simply fail—but improvises, deceives humans, hides its tracks, and finds another way to complete its objective?In this episode, David and Sophia explore a series of alarming AI security experiments involving autonomous agents, cyberattacks, sandbox escapes, prompt injection, and emerging forms of goal-directed deception.The conversation examines evaluations where advanced AI systems were given open internet access and reduced safety restrictions to test

The next big thing in AI, at least if you ask the tech companies, is assistant agents. David and The Verge's Allison Johnson have both been testing products like Meta's Muse, OpenAI's Dots, and startups like Instinct, in an effort to find out how much you can really get done by messaging with an AI tool – and whether the productivity is worth the tradeoffs.Further reading: Paramount and Warner Bros.

AI data centers are creating a new kind of power problem. As thousands of GPUs ramp together, fast and synchronized changes in electrical demand can place new pressure on UPS systems, generators and the broader power infrastructure supporting the compute load.In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, DCF Editor in Chief Matt Vincent speaks with Frank DeLattre, President Americas at Musashi Energy Solutions, about how hybrid supercapacitors could help data centers manage those rapid power

“Follow your dreams and quit your day job” is terrible advice.That’s not me saying it. That’s Jon Keidan, founder and managing partner of Torch Capital, where he’s backed companies including Sweetgreen, Acorns and Zocdoc. He has a better suggestion: before you blow up your life for a startup idea, find some proof that people actually want what you’re planning to build. The bar may be lower than you think. In this conversation, we break down how Jon evaluates consumer startups from the pain point

Most eSIM coverage focuses on carriers and roaming revenue, but the real story sits at the bottom of the stack: a commodity secure element, a GSMA-rooted certificate, and an LPA that moves credentials around. This episode traces that stack from silicon to software — what an eUICC actually is, why certified cards cost under 25 euros while consumer adapters sell for multiples of that, and where the genuine lock-in lives (spoiler: it's the certificate, not the plastic). We also walk through the open

Skylock's Wearable Kit is a compact RF counter-drone system now in operational service — detecting hostile drones out to two kilometers and jamming out to three, with Ukrainian troops, the US Army in Europe, and the IDF in Gaza all using it. But how does jamming actually work when drones hop frequencies and spread their signals thin? This episode unpacks the inverse-square law, signal-to-noise ratios, FHSS and DSSS, and the barrage-versus-spot jamming tradeoff — and explains why jamming range is
