Who checks the AI that's checking your content? Matt Blumberg of Markup AI says every agent scores its findings into low, medium, and high risk. High risk goes to a human, the rest gets fixed automatically, and they run agents that check their own agents.

"Do what you love."
Jim Rogers, legendary investor
"Sales is dead. Podcasts are how trust gets built now."
Jack Couch, founder and distribution operator
"Inference infrastructure is where the real compute war is fought."
Nikola Borisov, Co-founder & CEO, DeepInfra
Host of Pale Blue Nexus. Co-founder, Aloomii.
Yohann Calpu has been making podcasts for nine years, across five shows. The operating principle is genuine curiosity. He sent Jim Rogers his first cold email seventeen years before they recorded together. That is how Pale Blue Nexus is built.
He is a father of two. Off the mic, he mountain bikes, hikes, gardens, and adds to a growing collection of Magic: The Gathering cards, comics, and video games. He hosts from Caledonia, Ontario, in the Grand River corridor.
The show explores AI, space, physics, and the technologies reshaping our species, through long-form conversations with the founders, investors, and operators actually doing the work. The frame is Carl Sagan's. Everything we cover happens here, on the pale blue dot, while everything around us changes.
Yohann is also the co-founder of Aloomii, an AI operations company building agent fleets for relationship-driven businesses.

What We're About
In a world flooded with algorithmic feeds and AI-generated noise, we offer something different, real humans exploring the technologies shaping our future with honesty and wonder.
We don't pretend to have all the answers. We ask real questions, sit with uncertainty, and follow the thread wherever it leads.
No breathless hype. We dig into the technologies and breakthroughs reshaping our world, and what they actually mean for the future we're building together.
Host Yohann talks with founders, scientists, and thinkers who are shaping tomorrow, candid conversations you won't find in your algorithm.
