WorkDeep Dive: How JPMorgan Is Reengineering Banking at Scale In a global financial landscape defined by volatility and uncertainty, JPMorgan Chase is aggressively evolving to stay on top. Speaking at the bank’s 2025 Investor Day, CEO Jamie Dimon cautioned that “geopolitical risk is very, very, very high” – higher than many market participants may assume – and warned that a worst-case stagflation scenario is “probably two times” more likely than commonly thought. Persistent inflation, rising interest rates, and conflict-driven geopolitical tensions all form a turbulent backdrop. Yet JPMorgan’s leadership exuded confidence that the firm can thrive through turbulence. Management stressed the strength of the bank’s guiding principles – a “fortress” balance sheet, disciplined risk management, and long-term focus – as the foundation for navigating “a range of economic scenarios”. In Dimon’s words, even if conditions deteriorate sharply, “we will be fine”. WorkWorkWork

WorkWhat It's Really Like to Face Off With a Grizzly -- and Live to Tell the Tale The grizzly swung with its massive right paw. In a desperate attempt to protect his head, Jon Bentzel raised his left arm above him like a karate block and ducked, bracing for the impact of the enormous, fur-lined paw.

WorkAll the Films in Competition at Cannes 2025, Ranked from Best to Worst - The New Yorker (No paywall) When the competition program of the seventy-eighth Cannes Film Festival was announced several weeks ago, I wasnt alone in predicting that the Iranian director Jafar Panahi would win the Palme dOr, the events highest honor, for his new film, It Was Just an Accident. When I saw the film in Cannes last week, I felt more certain than ever. In the past two decades, Panahi, like many of his countrymen and fellow-artists, has faced continual persecution by the Iranian government: he has been detained and imprisoned, placed under house arrest, forbidden to leave the country, and banned from filmmaking. He has circumvented this last restriction numerous times, with great courage and ingenuity. Today, living in Tehran, he is a free man, a free artist, and, yes, a Palme dOr winner; he was in Cannes to pick up his prize on Saturday evening, at the most thrilling and moving closing ceremony I can remember.

WorkThe Agentic Web and Original Sin I have come to believe that advertising is the original sin of the web. The fallen state of our Internet is a direct, if unintentional, consequence of choosing advertising as the default model to support online content and services. Through successive rounds of innovation and investor storytime, we’ve trained Internet users to expect that everything they say and do online will be aggregated into profiles (which they cannot review, challenge, or change) that shape both what ads and what content they see. Outrage over experimental manipulation of these profiles by social networks and dating companies has led to heated debates amongst the technologically savvy, but hasn’t shrunk the user bases of these services, as users now accept that this sort of manipulation is an integral part of the online experience. WorkWorkWorkIs a Good Iran Deal Possible? - Foreign Affairs (No paywall) Of all the consensus-bucking foreign policy moves that U.S. President Donald Trump has undertaken, few have been more surprising than the resurrection of nuclear talks with Iran.

WorkHumanity's Longest Prehistoric Migration Was 20,000km On Foot - And We Now Know Who Took It Homo sapiens are incredible things. In humanity's longest prehistoric migration, groups of daring people walked over 20,000 kilometres (12,427 miles) from North Asia across to North America and down to the southernmost tip of South America.
