Fabian Alefeld hosts Duann Scott on the Editor Snack podcast to discuss how AI is evolving in additive manufacturing, moving from “AI-washing” and impractical text-to-mesh hype toward more capable tools using language models, visual language models, surrogate models, and emerging foundational models. Scott describes testing tools by trying to make them fail and highlights a recent success with the Raven plugin for Rhino/Grasshopper, which generated a parametric VESA mount and tripod adapter from minimal prompts, then iteratively added fillets and an isogrid structure and produced a printable part within hours. They discuss constraints like missing engineering training data and design intent, the promise of AI for toolpath and process optimization (including transfer of parameter knowledge across materials), and the role of the 3MF format in capturing toolpath and metadata to enable richer, searchable datasets. Scott previews CDFAM events in Barcelona, DC, and Tokyo and emphasizes that progress requires significant data work and investment. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 02:18 AI Hype to Real Progress 04:13 Testing AI Design Tools 04:46 Data Gaps and Design Intent 07:15 Two Paths for AI Design 10:15 Raven Grasshopper Breakthrough 13:17 Pushing Parametric Complexity 20:28 Limits of Black Box Optimization 22:40 Toolpath and Material Transfer 26:18 Alloy Discovery and Qualification 28:05 3MF Role Teaser 28:18 3MF Format Overview 29:17 Smarter Toolpath Extensions 32:31 Metadata for AI Training 35:43 Data Ownership and Synthetic Data 39:59 AI Impact on Additive 44:10 Workforce and Reshoring 47:22 What Is CDFAM 49:49 CDFAM Audience and Format 51:43 DC Event and Government 54:05 Wrap Up and Thanks

Matt then goes through the first inflation data of 2026, and where it looks like inflation is headed in the coming months.View the Full U.S. Macroeconomic Outlook Webinar here: https://events.moodys.com/ta6186-2026-bank-odwbn-mau28334-us-economic-outlook-q1View our AI generated paper here: https://www.economy.com/getfile?q=165AB685-ED95-43E8-8533-DA2CE131A01A&app=downloadHosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' and BlueSky @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn Questions or Comments, please email us at helpeconomy@moodys.com.

Getting users to sign up is the easy part. Keeping them is where most product-led companies fail. Melissa Kwan built eWebinar to $2M ARR without a single full-time employee, but not without learning this lesson the hard way. In this episode, Wes Bush, with Esben Friis-Jensen joining, sits down with Melissa Kwan, cofounder and CEO of eWebinar, to break down what product-led growth actually looks like behind the scenes. They explore why more signups don't solve churn, why customer success is the real growth engine most founders overlook, and how Melissa structured eWebinar around contractors instead of employees to preserve flexibility and focus. Melissa also opens up about founder burnout that did not look like exhaustion, but like a slow loss of inspiration, and the internal work that helped her reset and regain confidence. Along the way, she shares her playbook for building a high-trust founder community through credibility, generosity, and thoughtful curation.

January’s jobs report just shattered expectations—and it could signal a major turning point for the U.S. economy. On this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker of the Job Creators Network sits down with Mike Palicz, Tax Policy Director at Americans for Tax Reform and former Trump administration official, to break down the latest economic data. With 130,000 jobs added, rising wages, and a shrinking federal workforce, the numbers point to renewed private sector strength and growing economic momentum. They dive into how pro-growth tax policies are driving investment, boosting worker productivity, and increasing take-home pay for American families. Plus, what role AI is playing in reshaping the workforce, why construction jobs are surging, and how falling interest rates and rising wages are improving affordability. Elaine and Mike also tackle the political messaging battle ahead of the midterms—why many Americans still don’t feel the full impact of tax relief, and how conservatives can better connect policy wins to real-life stories from small businesses and workers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the Oscar-winning film Shakespeare in Love, theater owner Henslowe explains that the theatrical business faces "insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster," yet somehow "it all turns out well.” It's a mystery he can't explain. This week's podcast channels that spirit as Moody's Analytics economist, Dante DeAntonio, joins Mark and Cris to dissect the labor market despite the delayed employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The team navigates volatility across financial markets and examines the outlook for employment and consumer spending in light of AI adoption and the stabilization of the saving rate. Like Henslowe's faith that the show goes on, they explore whether the economy will find its way through even when the data arrives fashionably late.Hosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' and BlueSky @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn Questions or Comments, please email us at helpeconomy@moodys.com.

Developer productivity is often framed as a tooling initiative or a morale issue. At scale, it's a more complex socio-technical systems challenge that spans engineering foundations, leadership alignment, organizational structure, and culture.In this episode, Laura Tacho sits down with Uma Namasivayam, Senior Director, Engineering Productivity at Dropbox, to discuss how the company approaches developer experience across an organization of nearly 1,000 engineers. Uma explains why productivity must be treated as a business problem, how executive alignment enables sustained progress, and what it means to run developer experience like a product.The conversation also explores the intersection of AI and developer experience. Uma shares how Dropbox prepared its engineering systems to support AI adoption, why daily AI use depends more on habits than access, and how the company evaluates build-versus-buy decisions as AI tools struggle to scale in large environments.The episode concludes with a candid discussion of the open questions facing engineering leaders today: how to understand where AI-driven capacity actually goes, and how to connect improvements in developer experience to meaningful business outcomes in 2026.Where to find Uma Namasivayam:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/unamasivayamWhere to find Laura Tacho: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauratacho/• X: https://x.com/rhein_wein• Website: https://lauratacho.com/• Laura's course (Measuring Engineering Performance and AI Impact) https://lauratacho.com/developer-productivity-metrics-courseIn this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(00:45) Dropbox's engineering org(01:59) Why developer productivity is a business problem(04:08) The role of executive sponsorship in developer productivity(06:02) How DX's Core Four framework created a shared language(08:13) Treating developer experience as a product(11:30) How Dropbox prioritizes developer experience work(14:20) The challenge of tying developer experience to business outcomes(16:38) How AI and developer experience intersect at Dropbox(18:35) The prerequisites for AI adoption to accelerate work(20:26) How Dropbox encourages daily AI use(23:12) AI use beyond code completion(25:00) Managing AI tool demand at scale(27:56) Early results from Dropbox's AI efforts(30:05) Progress on developer experience at Dropbox(32:55) Advice for organizations investing in developer experience(34:25) Capacity tradeoffs for developer experience(35:59) The unanswered questions around AI and capacity in 2026Referenced:• DX Core 4 Productivity Framework• Dropbox.com
Key TakeawaysAI's progress: Wiese expresses excitement to return to the event after a year to hear real case studies on how people have embraced AI, especially appreciating the human and change‑management side of this transformational journey. Specifically, she's eager to learn where organizations have tested, scaled, or faced pushback over the past 12 months, noting that adopting AI is an ongoing, iterative process.Curating the agenda: "I think my number one view of all of the submissions was around innovation," notes Wiese, who played a role as a Programming Committee Board member, selecting sessions for the 2026 AI Agent & Copilot Summit agenda. In her process, she looked for examples of where organizations have truly innovated with this technology. "I want honest, too. You know, 'this is what we tried. It didn't work, but we came back at it, here's how'".AI's impact on women in tech: On Thursday, March 19, Wiese will lead a Fireside Chat around her new book, "You're on Mute." The book explores whether AI has actually helped women enter and thrive in the tech industry amid persistent adoption and trust gaps. Through stories from contributors, it examines AI's impact on leveling the playing field and encourages more women to see AI as a path into tech.Event expectations: The real power of conferences and events comes from being together, notes Wiese. With the lineup of speakers, she believes attendees will gain access to candid insights and meaningful peer connections. Visit Cloud Wars for more.
This episode features Cliff Kupchan, Chairman of Eurasia Group, discussing the firm's 2026 Top Risks report and the dramatically changed role of the United States in the international system. Brandon & Nick explore how US domestic political convulsions create ripple effects globally, positioning America, not Russia, as the primary source of geopolitical risk. Kupchan analyzes Trump 2.0's muscular unilateralism, the "Donroe Doctrine" asserting control over the Western Hemisphere, state capitalism with American characteristics, and rising political violence domestically, including ICE raid activity in Minnesota. The discussion examines affordability crises, tariff dynamics with China, Greenland acquisition speculation, European security concerns, and Venezuela's uncertain future following US military intervention. We also touch on optimistic counterpoints around AI, India's growth, and Democratic electoral prospects.Intertwined throughout are Brandon & Nick's observations on Minneapolis turmoil, wine pairings (Humano Tequila Reposado and Caparsa Chianti Classico 2021), and lighter moments including a "truth and lie" trivia segment about Maine's proximity to Africa, Venus cloud composition, and Mount Everest measurements.Key Takeaways• The US is now the primary source of global political risk, displacing Russia, a historic shift reflecting the US dismantling the international system it created post-1945• Greenland acquisition could destroy transatlantic trust, the foundation of NATO and EU-US economic relationships, with cascading consequences for global financial markets• Midterm elections (2026) offer potential circuit-breaker: Democrats likely to take House back (~80% probability), enabling oversight and restraining Trump's most aggressive impulses• AI and India represent genuine upside: Massive efficiency gains in insurance (200 basis point expense ratio reduction), AI revenue, and 7% Indian growth offer offsetting optimismEpisode Chapters01:11 — Humano Tequila Reposado & Caparsa Chianti Classico 2021 Tasting Notes04:17 — Howden M&A Strategy, Broker Litigation, and Alliance Capital Restraining Order06:13 — Insurance Industry Expense Ratios & AI Impact ($9.3B Operating Income Uplift Forecast)13:04 — Minneapolis ICE Raids, Political Violence, and State Security Concerns23:26 — Venezuela Regime Change & Oil Uninvestability Discussion30:19 — Cliff Kupchan Introduction & Eurasia Group Top Risks 202634:34 — Globalization Backlash & Right-Wing Populism Drivers40:42 — State Capitalism, Credit Card Caps, and Trump's Contradictory Vision43:56 — Tariff Negotiations with China & "Peak Tariff" Assessment46:24 — Greenland Acquisition as Transatlantic Relationship Risk51:50 — Democratic Midterm Prospects & Checks-and-Balances Outlook53:37 — Positive Counterpoints: AI, India, and Saudi Arabia Reform56:34 — Guest Departs; Return to Host Discussion57:00 — Lake Minnetonka Geography Fact-Check (Swimming Distance Verification)58:23 — "Truth & Lie" Trivia: Maine-Africa Distance, Venus Clouds, Mount Everest01:03:52 — Show Wrap-Up & YouTube Channel AnnouncementFact Checks: Corrected Facts OnlyClaim: Mount Everest is the tallest mountain when measured base to peak • Status: INCOMPLETE/MISLEADING • Correction: Mount Everest is highest by sea level elevation (29,032 ft), but Denali (Mount McKinley) has greater vertical rise from base to peak (~18,000+ ft vs. Everest's ~12,000-15,000 ft base-to-peak)Connect with RiskCellar:Website: https://www.riskcellar.com/Guest: Cliff KupchanWebsite: https://www.eurasiagroup.net/people/ckupchanOrganization Website: https://www.eurasiagroup.netEmail: kupchan@eurasiagroup.netBrandon Schuh:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552710523314LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-stephen-schuh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schuhpapa/Nick Hartmann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjhartmann/
Sangeet Paul Choudhary is the bestselling co-author of Platform Revolution, founder of Platformation Labs, senior fellow at UC Berkeley, and author of Reshuffle, exploring how AI fundamentally reorganizes value creation architecture.Episode Sponsor: Fiscal AI is a modern data terminal that gives investors instant access to twenty years of financials, earnings transcripts, and extensive segment and KPI data—use my link for a two-week free trial plus 15% off: https://fiscal.ai/talkingbillions/3:00 - Sangeet describes growing up in an industrial town where everyone's father worked at the steel plant, creating a homogeneous, "straight-jacketed" environment. Digital technologies opened new career possibilities beyond this rigid path.5:45 - The Intelligence Distraction: Sangeet challenges the dominant narrative of AI benchmarked by intelligence metrics. "AI is not an alternative to human thought. It could be an alternative to human-performed knowledge work, but it's not an alternative to human thought."8:30 - The GPS metaphor: AI's real impact comes from reorganizing systems, not raw intelligence. Like GPS restructures traffic flow by coordinating unconnected drivers, AI reorganizes economic activity by creating shared representations of complex spaces.15:00 - Travel industry transformation: Dreaming on Instagram, planning on Google Flights, booking through fragmented systems. AI could create unified representations connecting desire to action seamlessly.28:00 - Piracy as market research: "Piracy is a form of market research showing unmet demand." When illegal activity fills gaps, it reveals where legitimate systems fail to serve users.35:00 - Platform economics: Network effects create winner-take-all dynamics. Once critical mass is achieved, platforms become nearly impossible to displace.42:00 - Solution vs. execution: Professional services charging for billing hours face commoditization. The future belongs to those charging for outcomes and results, not execution time.48:00 - Orica example: Mining explosives company stopped selling products, started selling blast outcomes. Shifted from commodity provider to results-aligned partner, capturing more value and developing superior expertise.52:00 - Don't need AI strategy, need strategy for AI world: "What is our strategy given the conditions that AI creates?" AI dissolves industry boundaries by making previously siloed knowledge accessible across sectors.54:30 - Value migration: Ask where value sat before, where it moves with AI, then position to capture that shifted value.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

In this episode, Vinney Chopra leads a thoughtful mastermind discussion on where the economy may be heading and how investors can position themselves wisely. From real estate cycles and regional market differences to the unseen forces shaping employment and wealth, Vinney brings clarity to a noisy and uncertain landscape using grounded experience instead of speculation. Key areas covered in the conversation include:
Let's move past the tired “Is AI a bubble?” debate and ask the bigger question: What happens after the buildout—when trillions of dollars of AI data centers translate into real economic output. Co-hosts Ben Miller and Cardiff Garcia frame AI as a new kind of factory—massive capex producing tokens that can be converted into real white-collar work. Then Ben grounds it with concrete Fundrise examples—AI handling a large share of customer support, strengthening cybersecurity workflows, reshaping marketing/copywriting, and boosting engineering productivity—before zooming out to the macro implications: faster growth, disinflationary pressure, shifting labor vs. capital dynamics, and the possibility of lower rates if productivity wins out. They also wrestle with the messy part—how adoption, politics, and policy could determine whether AI becomes a broad-based win, a lopsided win-lose, or a stagnation-inducing backlash—and close on practical ideas for adaptation, especially for younger workers. — For a deeper dive into these insights and more, be sure to listen to the full episode of the Onward podcast.
