Big video coming next week from the high north. Feeling really grateful to work with such a creative team who have been working really hard to bring this story to life. Can't wait to share it with all of you! Stay tuned.

I sat down with David to talk about writing and how I think about writing visually (for 86 minutes, somehow). We got into the Mormon videos and a few others. If you’re into long, mildly chaotic creative process conversations — I mean, same. 👇

I finally understand all the weird ai generated images I've been seeing around the internet. The backstory is way deeper than I thought. Check out Christophe's explainer on this if you're interested: https://youtu.be/Cedj8AKI2U8?si=XgQpI...

Panama City! I’m heading to the Panama Canal to make a video and am looking to hire a local guide/producer/fixer who has in-depth knowledge of the Canal. If that's you, or if you have a suggestion for a great Panama Canal story, please fill out this form: forms.gle/h5cZ1eCFpdt2heMw8.

Side note: Truly every time I post one of these call outs I get this warm feeling of gratitude for this community. It’s amazing to have so many curious, supportive people who want to help me tell these stories. Thank you, as always. Your contributions truly make these field stories what they are.

For over a decade, a website has been compiling live feeds from internet-connected security cameras. It’s an unsettling peek into scenes from all over the world — and raises big questions about privacy and consent on the internet.

‪@christophe‬ tracked down one of those cameras for the latest episode of Tunnel Vision - make sure to give it a watch!

16 years ago, a member of Abu Dhabi's ruling family bought an average English football team and transformed it into the most dominant club in the world. Now Manchester City is on trial for cheating and the consequences go far beyond the sport. Check out the latest S/P here!

A few snaps from the video that publishes tomorrow. This is an exciting one for me because it's a collaboration with The Economist's Shashank Joshi who I've been reading and learning from for years. Shashank talks us through how AI is transforming war and we visualize it all in a 3d simulation. You wont want to miss it.

On a broader note: It's very clear to me that software is going to be a bigger and bigger part of security and defense and I want to stay on top of covering and explaining the developments in this space. As always I want you curiosity and questions to help guide my coverage. So leave me your thoughts on what questions you have about AI and its role in the future of war. I'll be reading comments and using them to influence future videos.
Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

A brand new Search Party video takes a deep dive into China's internet. The internet was "supposed" to usher in a new era of democracy. But the Chinese Communist Party is stronger than ever. How did they do it?
