Hollywood is going through a major cultural and creative reset, and Marc Andreessen thinks it's long overdue.In this episode of Monitoring the Situation, Marc joins Erik Torenberg and Katherine Boyle to dissect the past decade of filmmaking, from the rise of “the message” in every movie to the return of genuine comedy and art. They cover the post-woke shift in Hollywood, the financial collapse of the streaming era, and why AI could spark a renaissance for a new generation of independent filmmakers.Marc also shares his favorite recent films (and the ones he thinks aged terribly), why Edington might be the first true “Capital-A Art” film in years, and how AI could democratize storytelling the way digital cameras did in the 1990s. Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Every major technological revolution has come with a bubble: railroads, electricity, dot-com. Is it AI's turn? With investments skyrocketing and market valuations reaching the trillions, the stakes are enormous. But are we witnessing a genuine revolution—or the early stages of a spectacular crash?Princeton professor Arvind Narayanan joins Luigi Zingales and Bethany McLean to explain why he believes AI's transformative impact is overstated. Drawing on his book AI Snake Oil, co-authored with Sayash Kapoor, Narayanan argues that capitalism's incentives can distort technological progress, pushing hype faster than reality can deliver. They examine how deregulation, geopolitical competition, and private control over data shape the trajectory of AI's development.They also explore what could happen if the bubble bursts: massive market shocks, exposed structural weaknesses in the economy, and a wave of painful restructuring that could echo the dot-com crash—but on a far larger scale. It's a conversation that cuts through the hype and asks what's at stake when an entire economy bets on one technology. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo invite Physicist Samir Varma (The Science of Free Will) to discuss how AI reveals our understanding of the classical philosophical debate: Free Will vs Determinism.  What are the possibilities with AI and how can it be useful without disrupting our humanity?  Are we purely material beings interacting with an "alien" intelligence?  If all of our actions and thoughts are caused does that necessarily mean we are not free?

Trav, Zach, Harv and Tanner get together for the 3rd instillation of the Ominous October - Pandora's Box. Harv delivers a captivating story involving Artificial Intelligence.

What does it really take to be a CISO the business can rely on? In this episode, Sean Martin shares insights from a recent conversation with Tim Brown, CISO at SolarWinds, following his keynote at AISA CyberCon and his role in leading a CISO Bootcamp for current and future security leaders. The article at the heart of this episode focuses not on technical skills or frameworks, but on the leadership qualities that matter most: context, perspective, communication, and trust.Tim's candid reflections — including the personal toll of leading through a crisis — remind us that clarity doesn't come from control. It comes from connection. CISOs must communicate risk in ways that resonate across teams and business leaders. They need to build trusted relationships before they're tested and create space for themselves and their teams to process pressure in healthy, sustainable ways.Whether you're already in the seat or working toward it, this conversation invites you to rethink what preparation really looks like. It also leaves you with two key questions: Where do you get your clarity, and who are you learning from? Tune in, reflect, and join the conversation.

Show NotesIn this episode, we unpack the core ideas behind the Sonic Frontiers article “From Sampling to Scraping: AI Music, Rights, and the Return of Creative Control.” As AI-generated music floods streaming platforms, rights holders are deploying new tools like neural fingerprinting to detect derivative works — even when no direct sampling occurs. But what does it mean to “detect influence,” and can algorithms truly distinguish theft from inspiration?We explore the implications for artists who want to experiment with AI without being replaced by it, and the shifting desires of listeners who may soon prefer human-made music the way some still seek out vinyl, film cameras, or wooden roller coasters — not for efficiency, but for the feel.The article also touches on the burden of rights enforcement in this new age. While major labels can embed detection systems, who protects the independent artist? And if AI enables anyone to create, does it also require everyone to monitor?This episode invites you to reflect on what we value in music: speed and volume, or craft and control?

A website's success is determined not just by how it looks, but "how it operates."Foundational SEO: Images and Site Speed• Website Speed: A fast-loading website is paramount for user experience across all devices (desktop, mobile, tablet).• Image Compression: Before uploading, all images should be compressed using a tool like compressor.io. Large image files significantly slow down page load times. ◦ An example was given: 50 products, each with 5 variations and a 5MB image size, quickly compounds into a massive data load that cripples site speed (5MB x 5 variations x 50 products).• Image File Naming: File names must be descriptive and keyword-rich. A file named red-cotton-socks.jpg provides algorithmic context, whereas photo-123.jpeg has "no context... no value... no search traffic."• Alternative Text (Alt Text): SEO-optimized alt text is crucial. It describes the image for screen readers (improving accessibility) and for search engines, providing additional contextual relevance for keywords.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Content as a Cornerstone of AttractionThe primary method for optimizing a site and attracting visitors is to create high-value content.• The Visitor Journey: The goal is to convert visitors into readers, then into "clickers," and finally into "action takers."• Pre-Purchase Content Strategy: For a startup or a new product launch (e.g., a membership program), the strategy should focus on building infrastructure and anticipation. ◦ Create content that educates the audience on the program before it launches. ◦ Examples include offering a quiz, a survey, a checklist, or an onboarding guide in exchange for an email signup.• Multi-Format Content: A powerful strategy involves creating content in multiple formats. ◦ Record a podcast discussing a topic, then transcribe it into a full blog post. ◦ This provides two links and two formats (audio and text) on the same topic, doubling the online footprint. Over two and a half months, this can result in 20 distinct pieces of information online.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Evolution of Search: From Ranking to Brand MentionsThe traditional concept of "ranking" on Google is becoming outdated.• Google recently removed pagination parameters (the num=100 parameter), making it harder to appear on subsequent search pages and limiting how AI servers scrape data.• The new paradigm is to focus on earning brand mentions on AI platforms like ChatGPT.• This is achieved by providing comprehensive, evidence-backed content in multiple formats (text, audio, video). A competitor with a blog, podcast, and video on a topic will have a significant advantage over one with just a blog.Tune in for more of these search engine marketing insights and start monetizing your Shopify SEO or WordPress SEO efforts today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck are joined by Kevin Surace, an inventor, keynote speaker, and the "father of the virtual assistant." They take a high-energy deep dive into the present-day impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the insurance industry. Kevin explains that the AI revolution is not a future event—it's happening right now. He details how AI is set to transform every aspect of insurance, from automating claims processing and quotation to serving as a powerful co-pilot for salespeople. They discuss practical, actionable ways agents can use AI today to find new clients, refine their sales pitch, and handle objections more effectively. Key Highlights: The AI Revolution is Now, Not Later Kevin Surace delivers his core message with urgency: the "train has left the station" on AI. He argues that professionals must choose to become "robot overlords"—experts in leveraging AI—or they will be crushed by competitors who do. This isn't a future trend to watch; it's a present-day reality that demands immediate adoption. Automating the Insurance Back Office The conversation explores the massive operational impact of AI. Kevin explains how AI is already capable of automating huge portions of the insurance value chain, including claims processing (issuing payments in minutes based on photos) and underwriting (generating complex quotes in real-time), which will drastically lower costs for AI-first companies. AI as a Salesperson's Superpower This highlight covers the practical tools for producers. The discussion details how agents can use AI today as a personal research assistant for meeting prep, a sales coach to "poke holes" in their pitch, and a writing assistant to instantly craft perfect responses to client objections, giving them an insurmountable edge. The Rise of the AI Agent The episode looks at the next evolution of customer interaction: AI agents (video chatbots) with realistic avatars and voice cloning. Kevin discusses his own "virtual Kevin," which holds real-time conversations with website visitors 24/7. They explore how this technology can automate Tier 1 support and even close sales for simpler products, creating new, passive revenue streams.

‘Bundling' is a well-known business strategy, especially in tech, where it's not only used to increase sales and move slow-selling products, but also to tie customers into an ecosystem (such as Apple or Microsoft).So what about all the unbundling that's been happening in agtech recently? While historically we've seen seed companies offer bundled options, such as seeds, crop management, and data products, there is now a trend towards ‘unbundling' in agriculture. This is exemplified by Corteva's recent decision to unbundle its seed and crop protection divisions into two publicly traded companies. Similarly, Farmers Business Network(FBN) has also spun off its global crop solutions business from its digital marketplace. In this episode, Sarah Nolet unpacks the bundling/unbundling dilemma in agtech with Shane Thomas, founder of Upstream Ag Insights and Matthew Pryor, Founding Partner at Tenacious Ventures. They discuss:The strategic impacts of unbundling for companies such as FBN and Corteva, as well as the broader impacts on farmers and markets.The market dynamics that encourage companies to bundle or unbundle.How Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used in agtech, including Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and other AI frameworks.Shane Thomas' new AskUpstream AI tool.Recent acquisitions in agtech, such as the Growers Edge acquisition of FarmTestUseful Links:What Corteva's Seed and Chemical Split Could Mean For Your Farm, Successful Farming Growers Edge Acquires FarmTest, Growers EdgeFarmers Business Network the latest to spin off company, following Corteva, Kraft Heinz, AgFunderNewsDTN acquires Grain Discovery, DTNAlphaEarth, Google DeepMindKraft Heinz to split a decade after merger in a bid to revive growth, The GuardianFor more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

Bespoken Spirits isn't your typical whiskey distillery. Yes, they're based in the American bourbon heartland of Lexington, Kentucky, and yes, they often make private label whiskeys for clients. But everything from how Bespoken Spirits distills their whiskey to how they market it is done with the help of AI. Jordan Spitzer, their head of flavor, can finish a whiskey in days instead of years—while precisely crafting its taste—using their machine-learning backed approach. And Wane Lindsey, their director of marketing, credits AI tools with helping his tiny team punch way above their weight.The result is a whiskey that may not be traditional, but still tastes great—and in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take. That's time they can spend on the creative side of their craft and the work that has the most meaning: building brands and bespoke spirits that people will want to drink.On this episode, Jordan and Wane share how AI has helped them explore creative new ways to make and market whiskey—and why, no matter how smart our tools get, there's still no substitute for human taste.You can learn more about Bespoken Spirits at bespokenspirits.com~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

Michael talks with Nate Soares, co-author of "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All", about the alarming risks of advanced artificial intelligence. Soares, president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, explains why AIs are not designed but grown, how that leads to unpredictable behavior, and why even their creators can't control them. They discuss chilling examples—from rogue chatbots to lab “escape” attempts—and why simply “unplugging” an AI may not be possible. Soares argues that humanity must act now, treating AI risk as seriously as pandemics or nuclear war. Original air date 15 October 2025. The book was published on 16 September 2025.

In this throwback episode of Very Clinical, Zach and Kevin welcome back Charlie Fryer to talk about AI in dentistry. Charlie recently finished a master's thesis about class II caries and AI so he can see applications in dentistry from the perspective of a computer scientist. AI's Current Role in the Dental Industry The guys discuss existing and potential applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in dentistry, acknowledging that the future of the profession will be heavily influenced by this technology. Invisalign/Aligners: Kevin notes that companies like Align Technology (Invisalign) are essentially data companies that leverage millions of intraoral scans from iTero to perfect tooth-movement algorithms and quickly generate treatment plans. He suspects much of the initial clin-check setup is AI-driven, with human checks afterward. Design & Manufacturing: AI is already used for the automated design and quick file return for appliances like night guards by companies like SprintRay, as well as for crown design in some printing workflows. Radiographic Diagnosis: The hosts discuss companies that use AI to read and assist in diagnosing findings on X-rays. A key discussion point is how these companies, like DSOs (Dental Service Organizations) such as Heartland or Aspen, acquire the vast amounts of patient data needed to train their models. The hosts posit that users become the "product," providing data with every image analyzed. Future AI Applications and Benefits The conversation shifts to more future-facing applications and the overall impact of AI on dental practice. Net Positive Impact: Zach and Kevin agree that AI will be a net positive for dentistry, primarily as an aid rather than a replacement for clinical judgment, drawing an analogy to how a GPS system advises a driver but the driver still makes the final decisions. Combining Data Sets: Charlie suggests combining various patient data, such as cone beam CTs, intraoral scans, and radiographic images, to develop next-generation tools for complex procedures like implant placement guidance. Practice Optimization: A major area for AI development is practice management. They discuss using machine learning to: Optimize scheduling based on patient history (recurrent neural networks) and procedure mix to maximize profitability and account for unexpected needs. Forecast inventory needs to ensure the practice is always adequately stocked. Financial and Marketing Tools: Patient Financing: Kevin highlights Sun Bit, a payment program that uses an AI component to quickly determine a patient's payment risk and rate by analyzing non-traditional data like utility payments instead of a full credit report. Marketing: AI is already effective in predicting click-through rates for online advertisements, which could be leveraged by dental practices.

Artificial Intelligence has gone off the rails, private equity's running out of cash, and venture capital's throwing billions at anything with a “A.I.” in the name... welcome to Episode 304. Chris, Saied, and Rajeil unpack how Sora 2.0 just erased the line between real and fake, how 41 stocks now make up nearly half the S&P 500, and why every startup pitch sounds like a bad ChatGPT prompt. Sprinkle in a dash of market concentration risk, a splash of FOMO-fueled insanity, and you've got a recipe for the next great bubble.➡️ But the gang doesn't stop there. They dig into the dark side of private equity: the vintage funds running on fumes, the liquidity crunch nobody wants to admit, and what happens when inflated A.I. valuations meet leveraged balance sheets. Mix in a little immature humor, a few uncomfortable truths, and the kind of laughter that comes right before the crash, and you've got the brutally honest breakdown only The Higher Standard can deliver.

For many high achievers, outward success often doesn't lead to true fulfillment, especially when decision-making isn't guided by a strong sense of purpose. Robert Glazer believes the key to overcoming this challenge is aligning your actions with your core values. Without this alignment, even the most successful can feel lost or directionless. This insight inspired his new book, The Compass Within. In this episode, Robert returns to reveal how clarifying your values can transform your mindset, drive authentic leadership, and empower purposeful decision-making for lasting fulfillment. In this episode, Hala and Robert will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:10) The Compass Within: Understanding Core Values (07:48) Aligning Values with Purpose and Leadership (13:13) Why High Achievers Struggle with Fulfillment (17:45) Six Questions to Discover Your Core Values (22:27) The True North Test: Values in Decision-Making (32:38) Aligning Personal and Company Values for Success (37:44) Values-Based Leadership and Company Culture (44:52) The Power of Authentic Networking and Relationships Robert Glazer is a serial entrepreneur, award-winning executive, and founder and chairman of the board at Acceleration Partners, a global leader in partnership marketing.
