By David Stephen An indicator of superintelligence, for AI, would be the solution to a major scientific problem. To achieve this, what may be necessary would be scientific data, a new memory architecture, and extensive math models. Already, large language models [LLMs] can answer several scientific questions. But they remain limited in theorizing fundamentals answers. How does AI get there? This can become a trajectory for general intelligence from niche, transcendent intelligence. Take the brain as an example, to explain a mental state, say of an emotion or a feeling, how would AI be able to say something absolutely original and quite accurate? Also, arriving at this capability, how will alignment be maximized to ensure safety against misuse? How close are we to AI Superintelligence? Storage Layering The first step towards a mini-superintelligence, for science, or specifically brain science, is storage. Data will not be stored with the current memory architecture. There will be an absolutely new model for data storage that collects patterns at the store. In mechanistic interpretability, concepts [with relationships] are often adjacent. It will be necessary to have a similar model for memory. This would be like having a hard drive partition for just neurons. Though, the form of storage would be much different because of [say] specifications [with data] solely for neurons. So, everything [established in empirical brain science] about neurons will be a store. Then electrical signals as a store as well, then chemical signals as a store. Another store would be neurons in clusters - nuclei and ganglia. Then electrical and chemical signals as a collection. While there would be different architectural explorations for these storages, the target would be to store data like the human brain. The human brain, it is conceptualized, has thick sets [of electrical and chemical signals]. A thick set collects whatever is common between two or more thin sets. So, door is a thick set representing all doors, so is fence and so forth. There are unique elements that may remain thin sets, but most interpretations use thick sets. It is what makes it easier for the brain to store much more for less space [and energy] than computers. There are rarely repetitions, so access is faster, learning requires new fewer examples and so forth. Therefore, the partitioning or specificity of storage would provide an opportunity to directly mimic human memory. The next step will be to layer those storages. Such that, instead of say sectors on a disk, they are like layers, for patterns to match what is common in the binary data. The objective is to ensure that storage is prepared for intelligence. Not just to have intelligence use repetitive memory, like what is obtainable at present. For example, the text 'door' is stored differently from the image or the video. Also, there are all kinds of videos, image types and so forth. Then there are several information about doors, as well. In the brain, door is a thick set, containing the text, images, videos, physical structure and so forth. In this new memory architecture for computing, whatever is common in the binary segments of door would be collected. So, instead of storing it alone, it is stored together and accessed in that collective form, as layers, so that creativity meshes are probable. For this new memory for superintelligence, after storing specific data and collecting binary commonalities, then layers would be added, so that more binary segments would be collected. The technical details and likelihood of these can be explicated and estimated. However, to really have superintelligence that can be original enough beyond prediction, or basic reasoning, it may not begin with deep learning but with a new storage architecture. Mathematical Models Existing math models in deep learning would accelerate progress further, given new storage layers. Since patterns would already be available from the source, there can be...

My guest today is Ramtin Naimi. Ramtin is the founder of Abstract Ventures, one of the most talked-about seed funds in Silicon Valley. What makes Ramtin's story so compelling isn't just his firm's remarkable track record—including early investments in Rippling, Solana, and dozens of unicorns—but also the unconventional path he took to get there. From running a hedge fund straight out of high school to filing for bankruptcy at 24, then bootstrapping his way to building a $2 billion AUM venture firm using AngelList and relentless hustle. Our conversation begins in an unexpected place—the art world—where Ramtin has become a sophisticated collector, learning from mentors like Michael Ovitz about market dynamics that surprisingly mirror venture capital. We dive deep into how the art world actually works, and Ramtin explains how these lessons about "masterpieces" apply directly to identifying power-law companies in venture. We go deep on his approach to early-stage investing and how he built Abstract as a co-investment vehicle alongside firms like Sequoia, Benchmark, and Andreessen Horowitz. We explore his portfolio construction model, his philosophy on dilution-sensitive founders, and why he takes upwards of 30 pitch meetings per week to build his "frame of reference." We discuss why Abstract has the highest graduation rate from seed to Series A among all seed funds, and how this competitive advantage compounds over time. This is his first time telling his story, and we discuss the power of pattern recognition, relentless work ethic, and the unique opportunities available to those willing to start from scratch in Silicon Valley.

Sherwood Callaway, tech lead at 11X, joins us to talk about building digital workers—specifically Alice (an AI sales rep) and Julian (a voice agent)—that are shaking up sales outreach by automating complex, messy tasks.He looks back on his YC days at OpKit, where he first got his hands dirty with voice AI, and compares the wild ride of building voice vs. text agents. We get into the use of Langgraph Cloud, integrating observability tools like Langsmith and Arize, and keeping hallucinations in check with regular Evals.Sherwood and Demetrios wrap up with a look ahead: will today's sprawling AI agent stacks eventually simplify? // BioSherwood Callaway is an emerging leader in the world of AI startups and AI product development. He currently serves as the first engineering manager at 11x, a series B AI startup backed by Benchmark and Andreessen Horowitz, where he oversees technical work on "Alice", an AI sales rep that outperforms top human SDRs.Alice is an advanced agentic AI working in production and at scale. Under Sherwood's leadership, the system grew from initial prototype to handling over 1 million prospect interactions per month across 300+ customers, leveraging partnerships with OpenAI, Anthropic, and LangChain while maintaining consistent performance and reliability.

Steven Forth is the Co-founder and Chief Value Officer at Ibbaka, a leading value and pricing consulting firm. With deep expertise in AI applications for pricing and value modeling, Steven is at the forefront of developing intelligent agents that help businesses understand and communicate value more effectively. His work focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence, pricing strategy, and value creation, making him a pioneer in applying AI to solve complex pricing challenges. In this episode, Steven shares his insights on how benchmarking is revolutionizing both AI development and pricing strategy. Drawing parallels between how AI models are improved through benchmarking and how pricing models should be evaluated, he introduces a framework for measuring pricing effectiveness that could transform how we approach pricing decisions. Together with Mark, they explore the challenges of establishing "truth" in pricing, the role of synthetic data, and the future of AI-powered pricing tools.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover how AI benchmarking principles can revolutionize pricing model evaluation. Understand how to evaluate pricing models from both buyer and seller perspectives. Explore the future of AI-powered pricing tools and what it means for pricing professionals.   "We don't start with the truth. We have to work our way towards truth through multiple iterations and applications." – Steven Forth   Topics Covered: 02:15 – How Intercom's FinAI agent uses daily benchmarking to improve ticket resolution performance 05:30 – Why AI's success is built on benchmarking and how it emerged from the ImageNet competition 08:45 – The critical problem: pricing lacks standardized benchmarking like AI models have 11:20 – Michael Mansard's 12-factor pricing model assessment and its potential as an industry standard 14:10 – Why pricing models must be evaluated from both buyer and seller perspectives 17:25 – How market segmentation and use cases complicate pricing model benchmarking 20:40 – The role of synthetic data in pricing research and model validation 24:15 – Why "vibe coding" could disrupt traditional pricing consulting within 3 years 27:30 – The search for truth in pricing: hedonic pricing models and market assumptions 31:45 – Introduction to ValueIQ: Ibbaka's new AI agent for value-based selling   Key Takeaways: "Anyone who says that they're data centric or data driven is actually before that they have to be model driven because they're using some form of model to organize the data." – Steven Forth "We should have done this 20 years ago. What were we thinking? Well, we weren't thinking. And we didn't have ways to do this for us anyway." – Steven Forth (on developing pricing benchmarks) "Benchmarking every day, I think, is going to be critical to the success of agents that do important business things." – Steven Forth "You can always improve your measurement, but at some point the return of improving the measurement is lower than the cost of increasing the validity of the measurement." – Steven Forth   Resources and People Mentioned: Douglas Hubbard's How to Measure Anything (book): https://www.amazon.com/How-Measure-Anything-Intangibles-Business/dp/1118539273  ImageNet: https://image-net.org/  Michael Mansard's 12-Factor Pricing Model: https://www.insead.edu/bio/michael-mansard-0  Intercom's FinAI: https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/8205718-fin-ai-agent-resolutions  Lovable, Replit, Bolt: https://linkblink.medium.com/bolt-vs-cursor-vs-replit-vs-lovable-ai-coders-comparison-guide-3b9d41e75810  ValueIQ: https://www.ibbaka.com/ibbaka-market-blog/get-ready-for-valueiq-sign-up-now-for-beta-access    Connect with Steven Forth: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenforth/  Email: steven@ibbaka.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com  

Is young Murphy Reid now the benchmark? He certainly is at the MCG after leaving a mark on the bench that Brayden Maynard callously and recklessly shoved him into! Time to Restump Podcast the thrilling possibility door opening win over the Pies.Other than putting it down to heart and soul, a relentless work rate, self-belief, an absurd forward efficiency and a defensive collective that should be paid triple time for the amount of work it did, I'm not exactly sure how we won that game!The Pie's pressure was mental, the ball lived in their forward half and they pumped us for inside fifties. I mean we lost the inside fifty count 63 to 40! We had the lowest number of inside fifties of any team over the entire weekend; it was against the league's best team who sat games clear at the top of the ladder and yet we somehow managed to not only keep them to one goal from a massive 20 inside fifties in the 3rd term, we scored one in every two of our total entries to win the game. And, I may add, against the best defence in the league! That stuff needs a bearded stooge in a lab coat armed with a beaker, a petri dish and bunsen burner to work out how it all happened. Is it a sustainable on field football business model? Well, if the Prancing Pony can guarantee us he'll bang through 6 straight every week, then absolutely it is. However, in reality here on earth, as talented as Vossy is, it's an unfair and unrealistic request. So, the answer is probably no, it isn't sustainable. We can't put those expectations on our defensive unit or an individual. But to momentary hell with that, it worked on the weekend, the valuable 4 points are in the bag and while we're trying to keep a lid on things, the “why not us” question is gaining some traction.You should never ask a question you don't already know the answer to. So, with that been said, is Luke Jackson the best kick at goal in the entire AFL? Under pressure from long range… he's kicked 14 goals 3 this year. We have to say it's comforting having a fit Jaegar O'Meara back. We've missed his presence around the ball and when he does get an opportunity to hit the scoreboard, he's usually of the Luke Jackson ilk. And speaking of welcomed returns, do we win that game without a quarter and a bit from Hayden Young? Maybe, maybe not, but I'm glad we don't have to find out. Could Josh Treacy be the greatest swingman the game has ever seen? One game saving mark is happenstance; two separate game saving marks could be classed as coincidence. But now a third separate game saving mark is a behavioural pattern! We wanted to speak to JT about it but he's in surgery having Darcy Moore's knees removed from his spine! And lastly can we have some gratitude for and send some love to the serial scapegoat and whipping boy, Bailey Banfield? He had a ripping game and has thrived upon becoming a part of the backline band. We've now beaten Gold Coast on their home deck, GWS at their circus showgrounds and Collingwood in their Colosseum. However, nothing is assured and there is plenty still to play out, and while unfortunately a very good team is going to miss finals this year, we're in some serious shape. For now, though, let's not worry about the what ifs, let's disregard the data, put aside the predictions, projections and premonitions and continue Monday marvelling at our mastery in a magnificent moment at the MCG. So, pull up a pew, pour yourself a potion, press play on the pod and partake in our picking apart of the Pies and the Purple. Send us a textSupport the show

You'll hear actionable insights every CIO, IT director and service-desk leader can use to turn experience data into measurable productivity gains.Key Take-awaysThis year's report included data from enterprise services beyond IT.Happiness levels in IT, finance, and HR services are closely related.Remote work happiness has decreased due to back-to-office mandates.Ticket-based support and collaboration with IT are key happiness factors.Open text feedback revealed a desire for improved IT support.Industry-specific insights show varying happiness levels and lost time.80% of lost time comes from only 13% of tickets.Understanding business costs versus IT costs is crucial for IT organizations.A systematic approach to experience management yields significant results.Resources & Links mentioned in this episode:2025 Global IT Experience Benchmark Report – download the full reporthttps://www.happysignals.com/reportITXM Summit on-demand sessions – watch Sakari Kyrö's keynote and every other presentation from the London eventhttps://www.happysignals.com/itxm-summitServiceNow Knowledge Conference – the annual Las Vegas gathering referenced in the episodehttps://knowledge.servicenow.com/Subscribe to our newsletter:LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/it-experience-insights-6996053129205026816/⁠Email: ⁠https://happysignals.com/itxm-insights

You think you know Fireball? Think again. In this episode, Rob and Mark crack open a bottle of Fireball Blazin' Apple, a cinnamon-apple flavor bomb not even released to the public yet, and explore its sugary punch, the genius of its marketing, and why this might be the tailgate hit of the season. But first, they take a deep dive into the real story of Johnny Appleseed, frontier philosopher, land hustler, and the unexpected grandfather of American booze culture. Throw in a prank cricket, some Benchmark whiskey for courage, and a few questionable flavor pairings, and you've got one wild episode of Whiskey@Work. Hosted on Acast.

 In 2024 the Lithium market saw huge price drops related to oversupply, a slowing EV adoption rate globally, as well as macroeconomic headwinds. Is this a pause or a more structural challenge? What is the long-term demand picture? How does geopolitics fit within that? Does technological change threaten the outlook? And in such a volatile market, why is risk management essential? Our guest is Caspar Rawles, Chief Operating Officer at Benchmark, the Independent Price Reporting Agency for Critical Minerals, including Lithium,  which will soon be launching three Lithium futures contracts with the Intercontinental Exchange, ICE. What are those contracts and what do they mean for the sector?

You ever save a life at 2 a.m. with homemade elk jerky and a hazy memory of the Heimlich? Rob did, and that's just how this episode starts. From wild wedding whiskey hauls to marshmallow-flavored regrets, the guys dive into a shopping spree gone sideways and wrap up their epic Benchmark Bourbon series with the bold Bonded and Full Proof bottles. They debate the true meaning of "full proof," accidentally insult Oak & Eden, and sip their way through some of the smoothest high-proof bourbon around. It's Whiskey@Work, hydrated, educated, and probably a little overproofed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rob's headed north where the trees are few but the bourbon might be plentiful, and Mark's just trying to remember which Benchmark bottle he poured. In this second sip of our Benchmark Whiskey series, we crack open the Small Batch and Single Barrel, dig into what makes a bourbon “blended” or “single,” and uncover why “small batch” means... whatever a distillery wants it to mean.
