Today we're introducing TRIBE v2 (Trimodal Brain Encoder), a foundation model trained to predict how the human brain responds to almost any sight or sound.
Building on our Algonauts 2025 award-winning architecture, TRIBE v2 draws on 500+ hours of fMRI recordings from 700+ people to create a digital twin of neural activity and enable zero-shot predictions for new subjects, languages, and tasks.

Apple CEO Tim Cook on GMA:
“I don’t want people looking at the smartphone more than they’re looking in someone’s eyes... Go out and spend it in nature.”
I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.
Coinbase bought the UpOnly NFT from Cobie for $25M
Paying $3.125M per episode for 8 new episodes.
UpOnly had around 50K–100K listeners at its peak in 2021–2022
For context, here’s how much the biggest podcasts cost:
• Joe Rogan Experience (Spotify) – $250M total → ~$800K per episode
• Call Her Daddy (SiriusXM) – $125M → ~$1M per episode
• SmartLess (Amazon) – $100M → ~$500K per episode
• Kelce Brothers (Wondery) – $100M+ → ~$600K per episode
• Armchair Expert (Wondery) – $80M → ~$400K per episode
UpOnly’s price is around 3–15x higher than top mainstream podcast deals.
Will this be worth it for Coinbase?
