À propos de cet audio

 We talk about what's happening in Data & AI every week (well, most weeks). No buzzword bingo or marketing fluff—just honest conversations about the tech that's changing everything. Sometimes we go off on weird tangents about programming languages, tech/startup life, or whatever shiny object caught our attention. Whether you're knee-deep in code or just curious about AI, come hang out with us!© monkeypatching.io Politique

    Interviewing Charlotte Verhamme: Belgium’s AI strategy meets the EU AI Act
    Dec 19 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Charlotte Verhamme, Attaché Digital Affairs, to unpack what actually happens inside the EU “digital dossiers” machine: how Flanders feeds into Belgium’s position, how that becomes an EU negotiation stance, and what the AI Act and the Digital Omnibus mean in practice (standards, compliance, timelines, and the tradeoffs between innovation and safety).

    🙋‍♀️ Guest: Charlotte Verhamme - Attaché Digital Affairs, Representation of Flanders to the EU

    • (00:07) - Welcome + Charlotte’s role (Flemish digital affairs attaché)
    • (02:04) - How Belgium negotiates EU digital files (competence split + “Telecom” council)
    • (04:28) - Digital omnibus + why the AI Act sits inside it (and why it matters now)
    • (06:47) - AI Act 101: product-safety logic + risk tiers (incl. “unacceptable” uses)
    • (09:49) - Why standards lag: fast tech + lobbying pressure + what the AI Office does
    • (11:11) - Deepfakes, watermarking, and cyber risk as the “why now” for guardrails

    The Agent Era: Standards, Self-Improving Codex, and Disney’s Sora Bet
    Dec 16 2025
    Thanks for listening! ❤️OpenAI, Anthropic, and Block join new Linux Foundation effort to standardize the AI agent era | 2025-12-09OpenAI, Anthropic and Block are helping launch the Linux Foundation’s Agentic AI Foundation to stop agent software from splintering into closed, incompatible stacks. Their donation of protocols like Agents.MD MCP and Goose sets shared guardrails so tomorrow’s task-running bots can interoperate safely instead of living in walled gardens.https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/09/openai-anthropic-and-block-join-new-linux-foundation-effort-to-standardize-the-ai-agent-era/SIMA 2: An Agent that Plays, Reasons, and Learns With You in Virtual 3D Worlds | 2025-11-13DeepMind’s SIMA 2 now plugs Gemini brains into a game-playing agent that plans, chats and self-improves inside unseen 3-D worlds. The leap from simple command-following to goal-reasoning edges it toward robotics-scale autonomy and offers a live sandbox for testing agent safety.https://deepmind.google/blog/sima-2-an-agent-that-plays-reasons-and-learns-with-you-in-virtual-3d-worlds/Introducing GPT-5.2 | 2025-12-11OpenAI has unveiled GPT-5.2, touting sharper reasoning, long-context memory and tool-calling tuned for professional work. Internal benchmarks show gains across 44 occupations and tough math-and-code tests—evidence for OpenAI’s bet that agents will soon handle day-long projects end-to-end.https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5-2/America’s Betting Craze Has Spread to Its News Networks | 2025-12-12CNN and CNBC have inked deals with prediction-market Kalshi, inviting viewers to wager on tariffs, elections and more in real time. The partnerships push gambling from sports desks into hard news, raising fresh questions about journalistic incentives as odds tickers share the screen with headlines.https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/americas-betting-craze-has-spread-to-its-news-networksDisney signs deal with OpenAI to allow Sora to generate AI videos featuring its characters | 2025-12-11Disney will invest $1 billion in OpenAI and license over 200 Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars characters for Sora, the text-to-video engine. Beginning in 2026, fans—and Disney+ itself—could spin up Mickey-to-Vader shorts on demand, testing Hollywood’s balance between IP control and an exploding creator economy.https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/11/disney-signs-deal-with-openai-to-allow-sora-to-generate-ai-videos-featuring-its-characters/Trump signs order targeting ‘cumbersome’ state AI regulation | 2025-12-11President Trump’s new executive order tells federal agencies to fight state-level AI rules and even withhold grants, aiming for a single national framework. Tech lobbyists cheer the pre-emption while privacy advocates brace for a battle over whether AI oversight should be centralized or diversified across fifty experiments.https://www.nextgov.com/artificial-intelligence/2025/12/trump-signs-order-targeting-cumbersome-state-ai-regulation/410120/SK Hynix Expects Mass Market Memory Shortage to Last Until 2028 | 2025-12-14An analysis tied to SK Hynix says consumer DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) shortages could persist until 2028, as chipmakers prioritize AI servers and data centers. With inventories at historic lows and NAND flash facing similar pressures, PC and laptop buyers may see tight supply and higher prices longer than hoped, even if memory capacity expands.https://ixbt.games/en/news/2025/12/14/sk-hynix-ozidaet-cto-deficit-pamiati-dlia-massovogo-segmenta-prodlitsia-do-2028-goda.htmlTinker: General Availability and Vision Input | 2025-12-12Thinking Machines has opened Tinker to all, pairing its trillion-parameter Kimi K2 model with OpenAI-compatible APIs and new image inputs via Qwen3-VL. Dropping the waitlist positions the platform as a nimble alternative for researchers seeking long-chain reasoning and multimodal fine-tuning outside OpenAI’s ecosystem.https://thinkingmachines.ai/blog/tinker-general-availability/Extras‘Source available’ is not open source (and that’s okay) | 2025-12-09Drupal founder Dries Buytaert joins the DHH-versus-Mullenweg fight, insisting that restrictive “source-available” licenses are not open source. He argues the real issue is sustaining volunteer-built code, warning that blurring definitions may let companies profit while community contributions dry up.https://dri.es/source-available-is-not-open-source-and-that-is-okayA visual editor for the Cursor Browser | 2025-12-11AI coding IDE Cursor now lets developers drag-and-drop live React components, tweak props and summon an agent to rewrite the underlying code—all in the same window. By collapsing design and implementation, Cursor bets on faster UI iteration and showcases how code-writing agents could reshape front-end workflows.https://cursor.com/blog/browser-visual-editorOpenAI are quietly adopting skills, now available in ChatGPT and Codex CLI | 2025-12-12Developer Simon Willison found a hidden “/skills” folder in ...

(01:03:52) - Pebble creator’s Index 01 smart ring Bun is joining Anthropic | 2025-12-02JavaScript runtime Bun has been bought by AI lab Anthropic, which will use it to power Claude Code and other tools while keeping the project open source and led by the same team. The deal swaps startup uncertainty for deep-pocketed backing and raises fresh questions about big labs owning key developer infrastructure.https://bun.com/blog/bun-joins-anthropicThe Junior Hiring Crisis | 2025-11-29Annie Hedgpeth warns that as companies lean into artificial intelligence (AI), junior hiring in technical roles is dropping, leaving graduates facing tougher odds for a first job. She links the crisis to eroding apprenticeships and weak mentoring incentives, and argues that early-career people must double down on relationships and “relational intelligence” that AI cannot replace.https://people-work.io/blog/junior-hiring-crisis/OpenAI says it plans to report stunning annual losses through 2028—and then turn wildly profitable just two years later | 2025-11-12Fortune reports that OpenAI expects to burn through billions in cash each year, including an eye-popping projected $74 billion operating loss in 2028, before swinging to big profits around 2030. The bet hinges on locking in up to $1.4 trillion in long-term compute deals, setting up a stark contrast with Anthropic’s more conservative path to break-even.https://finance.yahoo.com/news/openai-says-plans-report-stunning-161814899.htmlNext ChatGPT upgrade imminent following ‘code red’ declaration | 2025-12-059to5Mac reports that OpenAI declared a internal “code red” after Google’s Gemini 3 launch and is now rushing out a GPT-5.2 update for ChatGPT far sooner than its last major refresh. Rather than flashy new features, the release is expected to focus on speed, reliability, and customization to close the perceived performance gap.https://9to5mac.com/2025/12/05/next-chatgpt-upgrade-imminent-following-code-red-declaration/Goodbye, Microsoft: Schleswig-Holstein relies on Open Source and saves millions | 2025-12-07Germany’s state of Schleswig-Holstein says it will save over €15 million a year by replacing most Microsoft Windows and Office licenses with LibreOffice and other open-source tools. Nearly 80% of workstations have already switched, but opposition politicians warn that migration hiccups and frustrated staff show how hard digital “sovereignty” is in practice.https://www.heise.de/en/news/Goodbye-Microsoft-Schleswig-Holstein-relies-on-Open-Source-and-saves-millions-11105459.htmlIBM to Acquire Confluent | 2025-12-08Confluent has agreed to be acquired by IBM in an all-cash deal at $31 per share, with the data-streaming company set to operate as a distinct brand inside IBM once regulators sign off. CEO Jay Kreps frames the move as a way to put Kafka-era streaming at the core of IBM’s hybrid-cloud and AI ambitions, while promising continuity for customers and staff.https://www.confluent.io/blog/ibm-to-acquire-confluent/Evidence That Humans Now Speak in a Chatbot-Influenced Dialect Is Getting Stronger | 2025-12-07Gizmodo surveys research and anecdotes suggesting our everyday speech is starting to borrow the vocabulary and rhythms of large language models, from YouTube comments to Reddit confessionals. Moderators and writers describe AI “slop” as so pervasive that even human posts and political speeches can sound synthetic, blurring the line between organic voice and machine-trained style.https://gizmodo.com/chatbot-dialect-2000696509Meet Pebble Index 01 - External Memory For Your Brain | 2025-12-09Pebble’s creator unveils Index 01, a stainless-steel smart ring with a button and microphone that lets you capture quick voice notes and reminders, then process them on your phone with local speech-to-text and AI. With no always-on listening, no subscription, and a battery designed to last years, it reframes “external memory” as a tiny, hackable tool rather than a full-blown wearable computer.https://repebble.com/blog/meet-pebble-index-01-external-memory-for-your-brain
