Uh so what happens when a perfectly flaw as digital system just completely collides with a perfectly normal human
Oh Well
Usually it's a total mess yeah
Exactly
And it results in five minutes of absolute gear creratic chaos yeah
The car rolup right the parking lot
Story from today's nah so the story from more the editors and our sources
Today ah just completely captures this uh this modern friction we all deal with so for years they had this unspoken very human arrangement right the security guards at their compound right a tiny social contract basically
Exactly they pull up to the parking lot
The guard would recognize them manually buthe the gate open and just wave the daily fee easy
But then a news start parking system gets installed
And those systems they demand absolute sequence no excepmptions
None
So the car rols up the moderor demands the fee and the guard hands over a printed qr code
The editor scans it but uh theyell phphone connection just drops
Oh
Worth timing right so the payment hangs this weird digital limbo yeah
But the gate somehow lifts anyway
Because the human guard assumed the payment went through
And just manually triggered the barrier yeah
But they're both trapped in a total nightmare
The system regsters no car
But the the arden shift ledger is going to be short thirty rmb at the end of the day
And they can't just recan the cocoright
No
Because the softwtwststubborly ly sisist is is conding trtransaction
It's totally locked up um so to solve it
The driver literally has to throw the car in reverse back all the way out of the compound and approach
The gate a seconstime just a trigger the opticle sensor again
So they can pay that is amazing
It really reminds me of that vintage petch p comic strip included in the stack
Today all the one of the dogs
Yeah
So a guy is being kept awake by a howling puppy
He goes to the petshop p as a fulground dog to keep a pup in line
And that night every single dog in the room is just howling at the moon
It's the perfect analogy
We introduced these llposely elegant technological solutions
And they just multiply the chaos right
Because they assume a friction tioncoreality
I mean look at the math section of our sources
You see these wonderfully simple rigid of which at the aldebra ones exactly nine a plus five b equals eighty two or uh why times y plus y equals two hundred and ten
Which ddicates that why absolutely must be fourteen right mathematical certainty is absolutely
It does not care if you have bad sell reception exactly a machine looks at a parking lot and sees that exact a tytype equation
It anticiciates inputs in exacts a human life
I mean it operates on favors judgment calls and drop signals
Variables that just completely destroy the formula precisely and attention is exactly what we were exploring in this deep dive
Today we're taking you through a really fascinating stack of newsletter ter lippings cocoing everything from artificial intelligence startups and escape wolf in the champions league a very wide range today very wide
But 是的
对的
Our mission today the thing we really want you to think about is the massive theme hiding in all these pages
It's the tension between cold flower systems and massive beautiful human predicicability and honestly they
Where is that collision producing more heat
Right now then in the global ai arms race okay
Let's unpact this because the envidia and deep sek news is everywhere right take the epseek the chinese ai start out
They completely shock the techworld last year
Which is awone model
It was highly seeable
Incredibly low cost
Yeah
You probably seen their little whale logo popping bond phones
Everywhere lately exactly and the crazy thing is they built that model internally bankrolled entirely by their parent hedchfund high flgher
They actually turned down
Outside investor
Which is unheard of in ai right now totally unheard of
But now suddenly they are outraising money targeting three hundred million dollars at a ten billion dollar valuation well perfection turns out to be incredibly expensive to make matain tain i methey suffered a massive seven hour crash last month a lifetime in the tech world yeah
And to fix the bottle next
They need colossal amounts of cash for bigger data centors and more chips
Yeah
But most importantly they need to pay their engineers enough to stop them from jumping ship to competitors right
The human talent required to build the unfeeling machine commands and absolute premium exactly and acquiring the hardware for those machines
Well that's currently bound up in some very complex geopolitical dynamic
You have a us trying to chip situation right and strictly looking at the context provided in our sources in video
Ceo jhnson huang recently did a podcast interview where he argued
And this is strictly from a business perspective
That the us should allow his company to sell ai ships to china
Which obviously sparked a massive online firrestorm
Yeah
But his technical retionale was simply
That export restrictions don't actually halt ai development
They just divert companies like deep seek to domstistial turn does like quawaz assand nine fifty dpr chip right it's like telling someone they can't buy your sports car
So they just figred how to build their own engine instead
It's a great way to put it
And neutrally reporting the facts year huang led it a horrible outcome for in video
That which make sense
When you look at their balance sheet
They took a four point five billion dollar hit this year from those us export restrictions four point five billion
Wow
The innovation just roots around the road block exactly and this massive global desperation for computing power has triggered a financial hiysteria
That h honestly so bizarre
Oh
You mean companies with absolutely nothing to do with technology trying to catch it
The
The gp u gold rush
Yes look at all bird get this blulue mind
Yes
The ego friendly shoe rutions right the one's famous for the white neitt sneakers with the red laces that's so on
Yeah
Value at four billion dollars just a few years ago
Now they are officially quitting the footweare business entirely right entireenentirely they are selling off their sneaker brand for a mmere thirty nine million dollars and the rebranding as newbird ai you cannot make this up
You really can't
They're raising fifty million bucks to buy data center gp s and the absurity of the current tech market is it
Wall street loved it
The stock jumped it over five hundred percent in a single day over five hundred percent
We played so much blind faith in the concept of digital perfection
That just slapping the letters a and i onto a failing shoe company generates half a billion dollars in perceived dollars just atathin air
But the thing is those perfect digital systems are actually
Incredibly
Vulnerable
Specifically
Because they lack human intuition right which brings us to the deficcypto hhiest
Yeah
The helped dao situation so a hacker manipulated the protocol and handing over two hundred and ninety two million dollars with aa token collgers a hate a staggering a manuphment right
And then they took those stolen tokens over to off
Which is the largest lending protocol and crypto
It just use them as collateral to borrow gh two and thirty six million dollars in real a theorium it's while and to understand how this works you have to look at the mechanism of adaoa decentralized autonommous organization
It is essentially a banrun n intirely by smart contracts so no human executives at all
None
The smart contract of the the marpfeed for rf saw
It was valuable and verifiy the token standard so h did not not
Could not do the enverify the intrinsic market reality of how those tokens were actually acquired a ssource put it
It's forforing a fake gold bar ar king into a poronshops
Slamming it on the counter and walking out with real cah exactly and the terrifying paris
The ponshop doesn't even blink
Because it's digital scale confirms the way is correct
It completely ignores what the metal broacer
So thethere's no human pond broker right no one to look at the customers nervous sweating or feel feel the strange texture of the bar and rely on twenty years
The toesmarts to say uh sometimes off
If exactly the code trusted the input flaloussly
And that flalest execution triggered a massive panic
Where users yanked five point four billion dollars out of ov in a matter of hours
Here's where it get really kilomeal um
Because it's one thing when code messes up in the digital though because when machines get fiysal it gets unnerving
Oh
The beijing human oid robot half marathon
Yes over a hundred robots lined up for a twenty one kilometre race so winwinner was this bright robot named lightning next builat the smarmarphphone maker honor and across the finfinshed in fifty minutes in twenty six seconds
Which beats the current human world record of fifty seven minutes in twenty seconds by a lot and just last year
The winning robot took over two hours and forty minutes
And spent half the race just falling over
So it changed well the leap and capability is entirely down to overcoming mechanical le bottnext x biological muscles
You know they break down glekagen and create lactic acid when pushed well fundamentally forces a human body to fatigue and slowdown
But a robot doesn't have lactic acid right
A robots only enemy is thermal overload so honored just bypass that limitation they integrated smart phone liquid cooling of the vabor chamber directly into the robobo's ints
They removed the biological constraint
They replaced lacctic acid with a cooling loop
So the machine gets infinite stamel
As long as the battery holds what's fascinating
Here is the brutal contrast with a limits of the human body that we see in the sports section of our sources
The human machine inevitably breaks it does look at saff curry yeah thirty eight years old shooting four of sixteen for a mere seventeen points in a plane game missing the playofs entirely
It really signalled the end of the goldon state warars dynasty
A dynasty he built by fundamentally changing the geometry basketball with with three pointer
But biological aging cannot be liquid cooled
No
It can't
Victor excecising is dealing with the exacacin reality is deadment
Right
He's retiring adjust thirty two due to chronic back injuries
And this is the guy who dominated the sport a six hundred
Four four wing spspspent one hundred and eighty three weeks at world number one
He even learned fluent mandarin just to bridge the cultural gap with his fans and rivals in china
But eventually the human body fail
The humans also have grit the evable that no vabor chamber can replicate here desperation
Yeah look at she
Uki
He's currently china's world number two in badminton
There is this photo of him and the sources
He's meteer eyes completely locked on the shuttle cock
It is intense
He just crushed his opponenment in forty one minutes to win the asian championship
Right
He's chasing that supergrand slam of all nine major titles
Pushing his physical frame in the absolute limit for the abstract concept of legacy
You see that same exact friction seeking behavior in the paris surbay cycling race too well
They call that
When the hill of the north race do a cycless rattle over fifty five calbetres of jagared coblestones at an average speed of almost forty nine kilometers an hour
It's brutal and the equipment fails constantly the source is mentioned both the winner woovanart and the runner up to desh bgatchar suffered tire punctures the mechanics breakdown
But huhumans just keep peddling varart actually chased this victory for eight years
And his immediate reaction upon winning was to dedicate to a timate who died during the twenty eighteen race
It's also emotional even in slower sports
The mental friction is immense look a cyymacco roy
Oh
The masters
He blew a massive six shot lead
Completely collapsed unders own psychology during the third round
But then somehow he found the forditde to come back on sundundand went back
When the masters by single stroke it is incredible
And the masters by the way is a great example of this analyg resistance
They stubborly refused to allow cell phones on the course
And they still sell excel sandwiches for a dollar
Fifty they protect their traditions
Fiercely
It really forces you as a listener to consider your own career in life
Like would you rather watch a robots flawloussly executed task
Like would you human overcome immense physical and mental hurdles to achieve greatness
Well as the digital world becomes more automated humans are clearly ctomving those raw physical experiences
Even if they are dangerous or flawed right
Which brings us to the new ultra trail mogan race
It's a hundred mile ultratrail race
Through the bambie force of the morgan shown mound
It takes thirty two hours to finish
People are paying to ensure profound physical suffering 对不对
But it's deeply tied to myth in culture
The course runs past the ancient soortcasting coons of ganjyangg and moyay the legendary couple who forged china's greatest source
And over five hundred years ago
We want tangibility
We want a bleed and sweat
Where the legends suffered exactly and that same craving for physicality drives sonrain the that y new year festival
The massive street waterfight
Yeah
It's essentially the world's largest most chaotic water fight
But as the expert notes in the sources
There is a dark side to this human desire for reckless fund
There is during the festival seven dangerous days
There were two hundred and forty
Two deaths and over twelve hundred road accidents mostly do a speeding in drunk driving motorcycles
Right right
It's the ultimate contrast to a safe deterministic parking lots system
Human nature is just reckless
But you see this cultural push back against the digital everywhere right now
But chchstopopher nolin shooting his movie version of the autisy entirely on massive heavy imax's film suameras
Right
He's not using green screens
Yeah
There is this crazy image in the stack today of men physically dragging a giant wooltrorogen horse across a real beach
He is actively choosing the immense logistical nightmare of physical wheght over effortlist digital rendering monarchal magazine is doing something similar in the publishing world opening that physical pop up shop
Yeah
A shop cacapint shanghai
They champion
Thke glasy print media
They filled the space with tacktile usm and steyler works furniture and their hosting live gatherings like entrepreneurs
Lilife proving that scrolling a screen just doesn't bill community the way physical present does even modern pop music owes its emotional landscape to physical machinery
Look at to paschmode right formed in nineteen
Ninety eighty
But shoped the sound of modern emotional pop from the weekend to billy islish
And they did it using massive early sympasizzers
Where you had to physically patch cables to find a sound
But i mean human behavior within culture can also be incredibly bizarwe we had talk k
Justin biber
Accochochla
Oh wow
Yeah
Getting paid ten million dollars to walk out in front of one hundred and twenty five topeople sit at at laptop type baby into youtube and just watches own twenty ten music video on the giant screen
It's ilarious katty period was was in the crowd joking
She was thankfully at youtube premiums
So they dihave to watch ads
It's just wild
I mean to me is this a clever statement on internet
Nostolgia or sheer human laziness that an ai would never get in ness that an ai hlucinates that mpzthy with unplugged that's true
But the sheer unpredictability
Huhuman reality is something called math completely fails to capture take that track nobody done by the xkii sluuter the brazilian funk and fok match up
It's barely ninety seconds long right and a slow down version of it exploded globally racking up eighty
Four million spottify streams purely
Because it became the soundtrack to a very specific techtock dance challenge
Extrtually it realize entirely on human empathy and shared emotional connection
And you really see the power of that empathy with a hunchchrian an anders in a work winners
Oh
But contrast the cold mah from the beginning of the show with kaggw she's a seventy nine year old chinese artists
Who one the illustration price
Her work for the story of the peach bossom spring is just breath taking a blend of classical chinese inkpainting and impressionism
And the writing award went to michael rosen and eighyear old british author
He wrote michael rosen sad book
Which is this profoundly vulnerable exploration of the crushing grief
He experienced is the sudden death of his teenage sun
It's a master class in articulating painto children
And yet simultaneously he is universally recognize by teenagers across the internet as the noise mean guy right based on a totally unrelated poetry video from twenty thirteen
Where he just smacks his libsson says
Nice
If we connect this to the bigger picture
No ai could ever replicate that specture of human experience
You can't symphsize ze the le crrushing grief of losing a child
After the nosurd morality of becoming a global internet mean
So what does this all mean
How do we synthesize all of this
I think the final source perfectly captures it
April nineteen
Nineteen nineteen nineteen
Eighty five
The recording of we are the world
The ultimate flawed beauty of collaboration exactly beat the picture force
Well you had forty six of the most massive fragile eags in american music all crammed into a single room in less angeles to raise sixty million dollars for family relief
And it wasn't perfect at all i mean prprincomplepletely refused to sing right ofoffered play ay gutarcelo instead leaving huge lewis to step in of the last minute to take a vocal part
It was messy
It was a friction filled human process with people arguing over phrasing and stepping on each other toes 你好
But it resulted it an an absolute masterpiece
It did if you asked in an adanced ed i to write in recorded charity single today it would generated in five seconds
There would be zero arguments
But it wouldn't an anything than anyone just like that parking like guard at the beginning
Sometimes we need the friction
We absolutely need the mistakes in the human judgment
We covered so much ground today
Somededeseek aai startus
And we wled dao cyptoal highst to liquid cooled robobomarathones
And we didn't even fully get into the escaped wolf
Oh Right
The two year old wolf who burwed out of a south korean zoo
The human response was pure chaos
Three hundred police and soldiers playing recordings of wolf houles
And they lost him on thermal cameras
Because they had dn't stop in swap a drone battery
是的 对对
The police even released a fake ai generated photo of him
And someone launched a cypdal meme coin
Before he was safely darted pure unscriphuhuman obsurdity exactly so what's our final take away
Here well we are racing to build machines
That run faster than us soft math
Instantly and perfectly police are parking lots
But as we engineer the friction out of our lives
Are we also engineering out the very struggles that create our greatest art are most thrilling sports and our deepest connections
The next time you are stuck battling a broken automated system ask yourself is the chaos actually a point
That is a brilliant thought to end on
Thank you for joining us on this deep dive
Keep questioning the perfect system
Stay curious and embrace the messiness of this human experience catch you next time
