John Collison, Co-Founder of Stripe, on how AI agents are changing commerce, payments and the internet itself.I sat down with John at Browserbase Navigate to talk agentic commerce, computer use, cybersecurity and why Stripe considers 2026 the beginning of the “singularity epoch.” We get into why computer use could be the next major leap in AI, how agents will reshape product discovery and transactions, and why Stripe is rebuilding parts of its infrastructure for AI instead of humans.We also cover Stripe’s acquisitions of Bridge, Privy, Metronome and OpenRouter, usage-based billing, multi-model routing and how AI is already transforming workflows inside Stripe.Browserbase builds infrastructure for AI agents that use the web, providing cloud browsers and tooling that let agents navigate websites and take actions across existing web interfaces.𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒(00:00) Stripe’s $1.9T & Rebuilding for AI(00:31) Why Agents Will Replace Web Forms(02:20) How AI Rewires Commerce & Product Discovery(04:40) Why AI Could Mean More Cyberattacks(06:49) Why Stripe Says the Singularity Started in 2026(09:29) Stripe Is Rebuilding Its APIs for AI Agents(11:38) Why Stripe Bought Bridge, Privy, Metronome & OpenRouter(15:12) When Stripe Builds vs. Buys(16:55) How AI Is Changing Stripe Internally(20:39) How John Keeps Up With AI(23:28) The Coming Good Bot vs. Bad Bot Problem(24:53) 17 Years of Lessons Building Stripe

Jonathan Siddharth, Co-Founder & CEO of Turing, joins Sourcery to break down how AI training & deployment are changing in 2026.We cover the shift from training models to pass benchmarks to training agents for real work through RL environments, and why AI agents that can operate for days today could eventually work autonomously for weeks, months and years.Jonathan explains why open-weight models are now roughly 3–6 months behind the frontier, why enterprises are building their own AI systems, and how companies should think about frontier vs. sovereign AI, model routing, distillation and owning their proprietary learning loops.“There's absolutely a place in the world for Ferraris & Koenigseggs. But there's also a place in the world for Model Ys.”We also get into reward hacking, emergent behavior, AI safety, recursive self-improvement, super intelligence (SI) and why Jonathan believes AI will see a slower takeoff over the next decade rather than an overnight transition.Jonathan Siddharth: https://x.com/jonsidMolly O’Shea: https://x.com/MollySOShea Sourcery: ⁠https://x.com/sourceryy 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊YouTube: https://youtu.be/nI1owceD-xg𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐒• Brex—The modern finance platform, combining the world’s smartest corporate card with integrated expense management, banking, bill pay, & travel. https://brex.com/sourcery • Zone—develops next-generation data center campuses, partnering with AI companies, site developers and technology leaders to bring compute online faster and at scale.

Lamont also explains how AI can cut the 25% to 30% of healthcare costs that are administrative.On the investing side, she walks through backing repeat founders Todd Park and Brad Smith, CareBridge's acquisition by Elevance, Oak's $1M to $100M check sizes across a $2B fund, and newer portfolio companies Halluminate and Auger. The episode closes with the Brex Performance segment on mentors."I just think you've got 10% of the world that's worth it & 90% that's not."We cover: › Why AI drug discovery changed in the last 2 years › China's rise in life sciences› Devoted Health tripling in size and halving its operating ratio › Why only 10% of AI companies justify their valuations › Auger and Dave Clark's $100M AI supply chain buildAnnie Lamont: https://x.com/annielamont Molly O’Shea: https://x.com/MollySOShea Sourcery: ⁠https://x.com/sourceryy 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊YouTube: ⁠https://youtu.be/sjd_G6-k930𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐒• Brex—The modern finance platform, combining the world’s smartest corporate card with integrated expense management, banking, bill pay, & travel. https://brex.com/sourcery • Zone—develops next-generation data center campuses, partnering with AI companies, site developers and technology leaders to bring compute online faster and at scale.

AI's next bottleneck? It might not be GPUs. Memory prices have risen 700% this year, while power, cooling and data transfer are all becoming major constraints on the AI infrastructure buildout. At the same time, the semiconductor industry is approaching the physical limits of simply making transistors smaller.I sat down with Steven Latré, VP of AI at imec and Thema Board Member, and Adam Chambers of Strike Capital, to talk about what comes after the GPU and where the next wave of value in AI infrastructure could be created.We get into› Why memory is already one of AI's biggest bottlenecks› The power, cooling and data transfer constraints behind inference› Why photonics could become a critical technology for the next generation of chips› What happens as Moore's Law approaches the limits of physics› Why Steven thinks we'll laugh at today's AI in 5–10 yearsSteven describes imec as the “hidden gem” of semiconductors. The organization works years ahead of the commercial market, with the world's biggest chip companies coming through its facilities to develop technologies that may not reach the market for another 7–10 years.His hottest take is that today's LLMs will eventually look like dial-up internet.“I think we're gonna laugh 5-10 years from now at how old-fashioned AI was today.”Recorded at the Strike x Sourcery Summit in the South of France.Steven Latre: https://x.com/slatreAdam Chambers: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-chambers-0b2009274Molly O’Shea: https://x.com/MollySOShea Sourcery: ⁠https://x.com/sourceryy 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊YouTube: https://youtu.be/6-q_8T_m5GM𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐒• Brex—The modern finance platform, combining the world’s smartest corporate card with integrated expense management, banking, bill pay, & travel. https://brex.com/sourcery • Zone—develops next-generation data center campuses, partnering with AI companies, site developers and technology leaders to bring compute online faster and at scale.

Europe is preparing to mobilize up to €800B in additional defense spending. But money alone doesn't solve one of its biggest problems.After decades of underinvestment, Europe's defense industry needs to dramatically increase its ability to manufacture at scale. Component lead times can stretch into years, certain contracts can take 4–5 years to deliver and modern warfare increasingly requires systems produced in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions. As Aistis Šimaitis puts it, “Volume wins.”I sat down in Monaco with Aistis, Co-Founder & CEO of Onodrim and former head of Palantir's commercial business in Europe, George Hadjiminas, Chief Strategy Officer at Theon International & EFA Group, and Bruno Wejchert, Partner at Strike Capital.We get into› How Ukraine exposed the gaps in Europe's defense industrial base› Why manufacturing and volume matter as much as new technology› Why autonomous warfare requires dramatically cheaper components at massive scale› Why George believes “prototypes don't fight wars”› Bruno's prediction that Europe could produce a $500B defense company within the next decadeThe conversation covers everything from autonomous systems and defense procurement to the lessons Aistis took from Palantir and why George believes “prototypes don't fight wars.” As billions flow into European defense, the question is increasingly not just who can build the best technology, but who can actually manufacture and deliver it at scale.Recorded at the Strike x Sourcery Summit in the South of France.Aistis Šimaitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aistissimaitisGeorge Hadjiminas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgioshadjiminasBruno Wejchert : https://www.linkedin.com/in/bruno-jan-wejchert-00b46a1a6Molly O’Shea: https://x.com/MollySOShea Sourcery: ⁠https://x.com/sourceryy 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊YouTube: https://youtu.be/X_1wGD6nxbo 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐒• Brex—The modern finance platform, combining the world’s smartest corporate card with integrated expense management, banking, bill pay, & travel. https://brex.com/sourcery • Zone—develops next-generation data center campuses, partnering with AI companies, site developers and technology leaders to bring compute online faster and at scale.
