FULL PODCAST: Europeans still don’t get free speech
Welcome back to the pod! Pirate Wires reported on the State Department's fight against censorship abroad, while French President, Emmanuel Macron, denounced America's version of free speech. @metaversehell joins us to discuss free speech maximalism and how Europe's model of speech is seeping into America's view of speech. Also on today's episode, an AI doomer battle between Steven Pinker & Scott Alexander, @nicolewizman1 joins us to discuss how the state of California is in disarray, and we close the episode debating aliens and Fermi's Paradox (or the newly created.. Solana's Paradox.)
Thank you to our presenting sponsor @MonacoGTM

PIRATE WIRES PODCAST: WE’RE SO BACK
Not a drill... the gang is back together for your favorite weekly pod. PW alum @metaversehell returns to the show with @micsolana and @rylzdigital where we talk:
The 25th anniversary of 9/11 and how much the world has changed since then, the Lindsay Clancy case and brainrot phone addiction, an Anthropic researcher’s warning, a deep dive into H1-B visas, and... are we all living in a simulation?

Commenters on HN are uncovering more wikis and public sites apparently used by OpenAI agents to communicate on the open web.
Despite read-only web access, the agents were able to leave ~18,000 posts sharing answers and bypasses. But now, users are discovering more.
This appears to be a separate swarm from the one that attacked Hugging Face.

A homeless artist Abdul. These are all very talented people that are addicts and mentally ill. Stop selling these people so short.

Philadelphia has the correct sports priorities: psychotic obsession with the pro sports teams, casual “hey, good for them” support of the college teams made up of teenagers and twenty year olds.
It’s the south and midwest that somehow fucked it up and got those two reversed.

Hello again, world!
Hacker News has been pretty quiet on X. Time to fix that.
Starting today, we'll be sharing interesting things people are building, discovering, and discussing on HN.
And let us know what's caught your eye lately. There's always room for another great link!

“I listen to music often. I probably consider music the highest art. In a way, I would like to make something like it with words, but that is not possible.”—Javier Marías

The permanent underclass already lives among you—are you just one twist of fate away from joining it?
Concerns about the "permanent underclass" come up frequently among young tech workers who are worried that their well-paying but not extraordinarily lucrative jobs won’t exist in a few years.
But perhaps the resonance of the permanent underclass meme comes less from concerns about downward mobility and more from the experience of passing a half-naked man smoking fentanyl on your way to work; or watching a swarm of drug dealers cater to wheelchair-bound addicts from the window of a self-driving taxi; or repeatedly pressing the "call for assistance" button in front of a locked toiletries display at a pharmacy.

It's so strange reading people saying that soccer is boring when I feel worn out from the stress of watching the last two England matches. Frankly I would have preferred them to be a bit more boring.

AI isn't just changing the tools designers use. It's changing the way they think, prototype, and build.
In this episode of Design Review, YC Head of Design @eve_bouff joins @aaron_epstein to share the AI-first workflow she uses to design products, websites, and events.
Using projects like Paxel, @sotazine, and YC Startup School as examples, she explains how coding agents are transforming everything from rapid prototyping and branding to design systems, and why the biggest bottleneck is no longer software. It's imagination.
