Matthew explains why Cloudflare now sees automated traffic overtaking human traffic online, why agents could create a massive explosion in Internet traffic, and why the old web business model built around clicks, ads, and pageviews may be breaking. We also go deep on what Cloudflare actually does, how it built one of the world’s most important Internet networks, why products like Workers, AI Gateway, edge inference, Durable Objects, sandboxes, and agent security matter, and how Cloudflare is reorganizing itself for the AI era.

The Three Things Money Can't Fix in Retirement (E143)
Jun 2500:35:18Tap to summarizePodcast: Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors (LS 45 · TOP 1% what is this?)Episode: The Three Things Money Can't Fix in Retirement (E143)Pub date: 2026-06-24Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationYou've got the retirement numbers all figured out. You're set. But - how will you fill your time on random Tuesday in Year 4 of retirement? Do you have that kind of "soft stuff" figured out? If not, this episode is for you. Looking for a financial planner? → PlanWithJesse.com In this episode, Jesse challenges the traditional, finance-centric view of retirement by arguing that long-term financial readiness is only part of the equation, and that the real risks often emerge in the softer domains of identity, relationships, and daily structure once work disappears. He begins by examining identity loss in retirement, highlighting how deeply career roles anchor meaning and how the transition away from a professional identity can trigger confusion or even depression, especially for high-achieving individuals, before introducing practical exercises like writing a retirement bio and deliberately defining post-career roles that create purpose and accountability. He then turns to relationships, emphasizing that work provides an often invisible social infrastructure built on proximity, repetition, and shared mission, and warns that many of these connections do not survive retirement unless intentionally replaced through external communities, recurring activities, and honest planning with a partner about post-work social life. In the third pillar, structured time, he explores how the loss of externally imposed schedules can lead to boredom, drift, and overreliance on low-value distractions like social media, arguing instead for a flexible "retirement rhythm" made up of consistent anchors such as morning routines, physical activity, social commitments, and long-term projects that provide shape without rigidity. He then expands into a series of behavioral and psychological pitfalls—including the end-of-history illusion, arrival fallacy, hedonic adaptation, productivity compulsion, and competence withdrawal—each illustrating how retirees misjudge their future preferences, overestimate lasting satisfaction, or struggle with the loss of daily mastery and external validation. He concludes by reframing retirement success as a system of intentional design rather than passive financial achievement, stressing that while portfolios may fund retirement, it is identity, connection, and structure that ultimately determine whether that retirement feels meaningful or disorienting. Key Takeaways: • Retirement readiness is not only financial; psychological and structural factors often dominate outcomes. Defining 2–3 meaningful roles creates structure and accountability in retirement. • Workplace relationships are largely built on proximity and do not automatically persist. Retirees should intentionally build non work social networks before leaving work. • Retirement removes external scheduling pressure, increasing risk of aimlessness. • Core weekly anchors include routine, physical activity, social ties, and projects. • Psychological biases like the arrival fallacy and hedonic treadmill distort expectations of retirement satisfaction. • Successful retirement depends on deliberately designing identity, relationships, and structure—not assuming they will emerge automatically.

If AI Models Have No Moat, What Are Investors Buying? with Benedict Evans
Jun 2500:57:40Tap to summarizePodcast: Analyse Podcast (LS 36 · TOP 2.5% what is this?)Episode: If AI Models Have No Moat, What Are Investors Buying? with Benedict EvansPub date: 2026-06-24Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationFresh out of the studio, Benedict Evans, independent technology analyst and author of AI Eats the World, returns to explore whether the AI model layer is becoming commodity infrastructure. Benedict argues there is no winner-takes-all effect in models yet, drawing parallels to telecoms, cloud, chips and the fiber bubble to ask where durable value actually accrues when everyone runs similar infrastructure on similar tokens. He unpacks why the chatbot remains a poor interface, introduces the "blank screen" and "jagged frontier" problems that keep software companies alive, and explains why large language models inherently give you "the average." Closing the conversation, Benedict reflects on the indicators that would show AI has truly eaten the world — and why the answer is better products, not better models."When you automate away work, you can always see the jobs that are going away because they're right there. And you don't know what the new jobs are going to be. Human needs are infinite. How many people are earning a living from making podcasts now? Imagine predicting that 10 years ago. There's a stage in the evolution of the market where like if you're still arguing about that, you're an idiot. But there's a stage at the beginning where you might have opinions about some of these questions, you're probably not even asking the right questions. That, I think, is where we are with this stuff today." — Benedict EvansEpisode Highlights: [00:00] Quote of the Day by Benedict Evans from AI Eats the World[01:16] The public market test: what are investors buying?[04:21] How far up the stack can models go?[05:30] Models can't build all the apps themselves[06:00] The thesis: models as commodity infrastructure[07:52] "All the value went up the stack"[08:24] Chips and Rock's Law: down to three players[11:23] The 1999 reseller story: one-time sales[13:28] The S-curve framing of technology[16:38] You're probably not asking the right questions on AI[18:02] "If this works, we're competing with a Mac"[20:25] Incumbents make it a feature[22:14] Big tech "killing startups" is overstated[24:39] Cowork as the new spreadsheet[26:01] The blank-screen and jagged-frontier problems[29:00] The hard part isn't writing the code[31:25] "What a good answer would probably look like"[33:38] The job displacement debate[37:38] Jevons paradox and the lump-of-labour fallacy[40:30] LLMs inherently give you the average[42:36] Why you really hire McKinsey[45:33] Punk versus prog rock: outside the training data[49:00] Automating ever-higher human functions[49:55] Why this is unanswerable: no theory of scaling[51:30] Indicators that AI has eaten the world[54:53] The solution isn't a better model[56:39] Where to find Benedict EvansProfile: Benedict Evans, Independent Technology AnalystLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benedictevans/Website: https://www.ben-evans.com/newsletterPodcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

Along the way he covers the JFTC's campaign to force credit card networks to disclose interchange rates, how Rakuten and 7-Eleven each bought a bank to solve a payments problem blocking their core business, why PayPay's subsidized 2018 launch let it run away with the QR code market, and why konbini payments remain popular despite a user experience frozen in the late 1990s.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/japanpayments/ –Presenting Sponsors: Mercury & MongoDBComplex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.
