The largest study ever conducted on regret reveals an uncomfortable pattern: in the end, almost no one regrets what they dared, only what they didn't. Why the emotion you were taught to despise is actually the most informative one you have.

The science of regret

Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in history after SpaceX's record IPO, $75 billion raised and a market value near $2 trillion. Behind the number sits an unprofitable company and a valuation that leans on AI, not rockets.

Every decade, technology gets its definitive catastrophe. This time it has a name, Claude Mythos, and it just became a product. Why fear and wonder are sold in the same package, and what changes when the threat comes with an invoice.

AI Mythos: fear became a product

Apple unveiled iOS 27 at WWDC 2026, with a rewritten Siri running Gemini, AI photo editing, and a rebuilt search engine. It's a preview, not a release: it ships in September.

The efficiency paradox

Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin in 2009, accumulated over a million coins, and disappeared without a trace. Now, a New York Times investigation points to British cryptographer Adam Back as the leading suspect. In this Radar 12min, we tell the full story: from the cypherpunks to the genesis block, from the 2008 crisis to the 78-billion-dollar fortune no one has ever touched. And we explain why Satoshi's identity matters to anyone who invests, builds businesses, or wants to understand the future of money.

The richest ghost in the world: who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

Radar twelve min tracks what is shifting in the worlds of technology, science, and business and translates it into useful reading. No alarmism, no hype, just enough context for you to form your own opinion about what is coming.

TRIBE V2 — THE MACHINE THAT LEARNED TO READ THE BRAIN

Google launched Gemini Omni on Tuesday, an artificial intelligence that creates and edits videos through conversation, builds avatars with the user's own voice and face, and rolls out free on YouTube Shorts. In this Radar, we cover what changes, what to worry about, and what to do with the news that puts deepfake production within reach of anyone.

Was video proof? Used to be... look at Google's new AI


In two thousand and twenty-six, war became a content strategy. From Call of Duty-style videos posted by the White House to Lego animations produced for the Iranian government, this piece maps how memes, AI-generated images, and viral propaganda are shaping global perception of the Iran conflict... and why the real battle may now be happening in your feed.

War and Memes... How Propaganda Went Viral

Staring out the window isn't wasted time. Neuroscience shows that the wandering mind activates the default mode network — the same one that links memory, daydreaming and creativity. A Radar on why stopping is, for the brain, a form of work.

What happens in your brain when you do nothing

Radar 12min is a narrative audio journalism show produced by 12min. Each episode takes one relevant topic and turns it into a dense, direct story — no filler, no fluff. You get verified facts, real context, and a closing section that helps you think through what to actually do with the information. This episode is about artificial intelligence... but not the kind you've already heard about a hundred times. It's about what AI is doing right now, in the real world.

Five real stories about what AI is already capable of doing

This Radar twelve minutes examines whether the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran in March two thousand twenty-six marks the beginning of a Third World War. It covers the four criteria that define a world war, the actual positions of Russia and China, the concrete risks of escalation, and what to monitor in order to separate legitimate concern from unfounded panic.

Is This the Start of World War Three?
