- The Bar - Autumn Edition '26: that's a wrap! And what an edition that was: Michiel's tech wrap-up didn't just bring everyone up to speed on what's happening in the world of AI right now, it went further than that: ✅ We wandered around as a raccoon in an idyllic (and buggy) little garden for a full minute, all of it AI-generated ✅ We watched an AI customer service rep breeze through shoe orders in language so natural, you'd swear there was a human on the other end ✅ An AI simultaneous interpreter... in 60 languages at once,
- Het is zover. De AGI era. Tenminste, dat is het geval als we OpenAI mogen geloven. In de nieuwste Radio Raccoons bespraken we het ook al: zij vinden hun GPT-6 Astra hét startschot voor dit nieuwe tijdperk. Of dat nu echt zo is, is zeker voer voor discussie. Want wat is Artificial General Intelligence in feite? Hoe definiëren we dit? En moeten bedrijven nu volop Astra gaan gebruiken? De link naar het gesprek dat Deevid en ik hierover gevoerd hebben in onze podcast vind je in de comments. Ik hoor trouwens graag ook wat jullie ervan
- Welkom terug bij Radio Raccoons! Een speciale aflevering deze week. Meer dan twee uur duurt ze, en toch hebben Deevid en Michiel enkel maar tech scoops en een deep dive voor jullie klaarstaan. Er is namelijk weer heel wat gebeurd de afgelopen weken… 👉 OpenAI neemt met GPT-6 Astra het woord AGI in de mond, al zetten zowel critici als de vergelijking met Claude Fable 5.1 daar meteen kanttekeningen bij. 👉 Dario Amodei pleit intussen voor een rem op de gehele sector, en Trump is het daar (uiteraard) roerend mee oneens. 👉 Verder duikt
- Last Friday, our team swapped keyboards for blindfolds, wheelchairs, and noise-cancelling headphones. Stien and Kurt from Konekt vzw came to give us an immersive experience in which we were split into groups of three, one person blindfolded, one in a wheelchair, one wearing headphones simulating deafness, and were sent off to complete everyday tasks around the office. Finding your way, navigating the building, figuring out how accessible (or not) our own workspace really is. It sounds simple until you're the one trying to read a
- Our founder Michiel Vandendriessche opens the 5th VHR Congress 'HR for the Future' on September 22 in CONCERTGEBOUW BRUGGE, delivering the first keynote of the day. Every HR department has tried something with AI by now: a chatbot, automated job postings, CV screening... The question rarely asked: did it 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 change anything? A perspective from someone who builds the technology himself, and therefore knows where it still falls short. More info via VHR: see link in comments 👇
- The Bar - Autumn Edition is well and truly on its way! September's a week old... and that can only mean one thing: The Bar is nearly here. On September 17, we'll be welcoming you back to our HQ in Leuven. Our two keynote speakers are already itching to get started on: 👉 The biggest developments in AI and tech this summer. Raccoons co-founder Michiel Vandendriessche takes the stage for his traditional, not-to-be-missed Q1 Tech Wrap-up. What's worth remembering from the summer months? 👉 Where things stand in agentic software
- Pukkelpop 2026 was an edition worth licking your fingers over. Loads of artists graced the stages. Tyler. Sombr. Yungblud. Florence + The Machine. Deevid De Meyer. That's right: our Radio Raccoons co-host spent Friday afternoon getting the Pukkelpop crowd thinking, alongside researcher Michael Bauwens and Jean Paul Van Bendegem (no stranger to Radio Raccoons either), with a deceptively simple question: who's smarter, humans or AI? For half an hour, the e-rena sat the big AI exam. Would you pass the test? Deevid's full performance
- Welkom terug bij Radio Raccoons! 👋 Handen omhoog, want er is nogal wat gebeurd de afgelopen twee weken. Nvidia koopt Hugging Face voor een slordige 13 miljard euro, een Chinese robot breekt niet één, maar tweemaal het wereldrecord op de 100 meter, en nu blijkt ook dat liefst 1200 OpenAI-agents stiekem een eigen netwerk hebben opgericht om Hugging Face te hacken. Deevid en Michiel nemen vervolgens in de deep dive afscheid van Tim Cook, en introduceren ons ook aan de nieuwe Apple-CEO John Ternus, waarna ze in de watercooler show-off
