Theodore Gordon is a musicologist and musician whose work connects experimental music, critical organology, and science and technology studies. He has performed with viola and Buchla instruments at venues including Elastic Arts, Experimental Sound Studio, and Roulette. Gordon is Assistant Professor of Music at Baruch College, and serves on the Doctoral Faculty at the CUNY Graduate Center. His first book, The Composer's Black Box: Making Music in Cybernetic America, published in December 2025, shows how scientific concepts and technologies borrowed from cybernetics, information theory, and systems-thinking became catalysts for new musical organizations in the 1960s. This interview, like the book, focuses on these concepts through the work of Morton Subotnick, Donald Buchla, Pauline Oliveros, Sun Ra, and Alvin Lucier.Music: As I Live & Breathe by Morton Subotnick, live at Other Minds 27; Silver Apples of the Moon by Morton Subotnick (Nonesuch Records); “The Cosmic Explorer” from Nuits de la Fondation Maeght by Sun Ra (Shandar); Mnemonics I by Pauline Oliveros; Vespers by Alvin LucierBuy The Composer's Black Box: Making Music in Cybernetic America.Follow Theodore Gordon on Instagram.ted-gordon.netFollow us on Instagram and Facebook.otherminds.orgContact us at otherminds@otherminds.org.The Other Minds Podcast is hosted and edited by Joseph Bohigian.

How do you report on a closed dictatorship with an oppressed yet defiant population? Journalist Nilo Tabrizy is an open-source investigative reporter who covers Iran.For Western media, it is almost impossible to provide an accurate picture of what is happening in Iran. One of the most reliable methods to do so is through open-source reporting, which uses publicly available data to reconstruct events and verify facts. Nilo Tabrizy previously did this work for The New York Times and The Washington Post. Among other investigations, she reported on the missile strike on an Iranian girls' school at the start of the war, in which about 165 students were killed. She recently received an Emmy for a documentary in collaboration with Bellingcat investigating the impact of the air strikes on the Iranian nuclear programme. How do you conduct data-driven investigations in a country notorious for internet blackouts?Earlier, Tabrizy covered the Woman, Life, Freedom movement demonstrations that erupted in Iran in 2022 after the death of Mahsa Jîna Amini. About these events, Tabrizy co-wrote the book For the Sun After Long Nights with Fatemeh Jamalpour, who is an Iranian feminist journalist, author, and former newspaper reporter. She is known for her reporting on women's rights, human rights, and social issues in Iran. She previously worked for the reformist Iranian newspaper Shargh and later contributed to international outlets including BBC World News, The Sunday Times, The Paris Review, and Los Angeles Times.The Dutch translation of their book, Zusters in Iran (Zwartjes & Labovic), was recently published. In conversation with Tabrizy and Jamalpour, we discuss the ongoing war in Iran, the recent round of protests in the country and what it means to report on a country that both journalists fled.Programme editor: Senna FeliusIn collaboration with: Zwartjes & LabovićZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Helium 10 releases a super-powerful MCP that will revolutionize the way you manage your Amazon accounts. New data shows that AI and Alexa for shopping have not decreased the number of people using the Amazon search bar to enter keywords.   We're back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10's VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10's newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level. Helium 10's new MCP is changing the way Amazon sellers research, analyze, and take action on marketplace data by connecting Helium 10 directly with AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. Now available to Diamond and above users, the Helium 10 MCP lets sellers ask natural-language questions and instantly pull insights from tools like Black Box, Cerebro, Brand Analytics, Keyword Tracker, and Helium 10 Ads, without manually downloading reports or switching between multiple dashboards. In this episode, Bradley Sutton shows how sellers can uncover product opportunities, analyze competitor keyword rankings, review historical Brand Analytics and Cerebro data, and build smarter advertising strategies in minutes instead of hours. For more Helium 10 MCP strategies, skills, and advanced seller workflows, follow Bradley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast/ and follow Bradley Sutton on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/h10bradley/   TikTok Shop Bans AI Voices From Live Commerce Streams: Violations Now Dent Account Health Score https://www.techtimes.com/articles/320624/20260715/tiktok-shop-bans-ai-voices-live-commerce-streams-violations-now-dent-account-health-score.htm New Data Proves Amazon Keyword Searches Have NOT Been Replaced by Alexa! Bradley Sutton breaks down a new Helium 10 research study analyzing whether Rufus, now Alexa for shopping, has significantly changed how shoppers search for products on Amazon. Despite the growing conversation around AI replacing traditional keyword search, the data shows that Amazon search volume, clicks, and conversion behavior have remained largely consistent from 2024 through 2026, with no major shift away from keyword-based shopping. While Alexa for shopping may be useful for product discovery when shoppers are unsure what they want, Bradley explains that most buyers still use the search bar when they already know what they are looking for, making keyword research and listing optimization just as important as ever. The key takeaway: sellers should not ignore Rufus/Alexa for Shopping optimization, especially for listing questions and product-page interactions, but traditional keywords are far from dead. To see the full breakdown and data behind this study, read Bradley's full blog here: https://www.helium10.com/blog/breaking-news-amazon-keyword-search-is-alive-well/ Amazon Seller Central News: Use new pallet delivery ship option for your business customers https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-news/articles/QVRWUERLSUtYMERFUiNHRDhCQUg1UlkyV1hGQkE1 New Feature Alert!

Modelle wie die von OpenAI oder Anthropic werden zur Commodity. Wer ein bisschen wartet, bekommt die gleiche Qualität ohnehin von mehreren Anbietern. Was bleibt, ist die Architektur drumherum, der Harness. Oliver und Alois erklären, wie Unternehmen General-Purpose-Modelle mit Speicher, Prompts und Agenten so einbetten, dass ein verlässliches eigenes System entsteht. Für manche Startups ist das schon die neue Core IT der Firma.Ein Thema ist das Geschäftsmodell dahinter: günstige Einstiegszugänge für 100 bis 300 Dollar im Monat binden Early Adopter in Teams, bis am Ende die großen Enterprise-Tickets über die API laufen.Lizenzchaos als Symptom: Kontingente wechseln wöchentlich, Power User werden automatisch gedrosselt, SLAs sind kaum planbar. Was früher eine feste DSL-Leitung war, ist heute eine Blackbox mit wechselnder Durchsatzrate. Wer eine verlässliche Entwicklungsstrecke bauen will, baut sie momentan auf Treibsand.Für Oliver und Alois ist das ein Argument für Dezentralisierung: eigene On-Prem-Architekturen, eingefrorene Modelle für stabile Use Cases, das Frontier-Modell nur noch als Dispatcher. Gerade im Verteidigungssektor, mit verteilten Datenquellen und Sensorik, wird daraus ein hierarchischer oder asymmetrischer Harness aus Spezialmodellen.China im Vergleich: weniger Brute Force, mehr Smart Force, dazu eine Open-Source-Szene, die mit weniger Rechenleistung mehr rausholt. Für europäische Anwender sind chinesische und amerikanische Modelle inzwischen ähnlich compliant. Bei sensiblen Workloads bleibt trotzdem die eigene Infrastruktur die sicherere Wahl.Für den Einstieg raten beide zu fertigen Plattformlösungen mit fester Modellauswahl. Das senkt die Hürde und liefert schnell ein erstes Ergebnis. Je klarer der eigene Use Case wird und je mehr proprietäre Daten und Geschäftslogik einfließen, desto mehr lohnt sich der Wechsel zum eigenen Harness statt der fremden One-Click-Lösung.Fazit: Harnessing ist am Ende eine Make-or-Buy-Entscheidung. Die großen Anbieter liefern den Göffel, die Mischung aus Löffel und Gabel für fast alles. Wer sein eigenes Besteck zusammenstellt, tauscht die stumpfe Gabel gegen ein schärferes Werkzeug, sobald der Use Case es verlangt. Wenn du wissen willst, wie das geht, ist diese Folge für dich.

Früher begann die Urlaubsplanung mit Sehnsucht. Nach Sonne, Meer oder einfach einem Ort, an dem niemand fragt, ob man „kurz noch in diesen Call springen“ kann. Dann kam das Internet und machte aus Sehnsucht eine Suchmaske. Also, wenn man nicht zu den Nostalgikern zählt, die nach wie vor denken, eine gute Expedienten-Beratung im Reisebüro ist das Beste, was mir als Urlauber passieren kann.. Also mussten wir Formulare bedienen, um ans Meer zu kommen: Reisedatum, Zimmerkategorie, Transferwunsch, Haustier. Wer bloß eingab: „Ich will irgendwohin, wo es warm ist und die Kinder nicht nach drei Stunden durchdrehen“, galt im System als Störfall. Aber auch diese Ära endet gerade. Künstliche Intelligenz bricht die Reisebuchung um. Aus der starren Suche wird ein Gespräch, aus der Liste mit 1.743 Treffern ein konkreter Vorschlag. Die Maschine lernt, was wir meinen Der Unterschied zu früher: KI verarbeitet keine Schlagwörter mehr, sie erkennt Absichten. Wer heute tippt: „Wir wollen im Sommer mit den Kindern und dem Hund an den Strand“, füttert ein System, das mitdenkt. Die KI kombiniert die Daten im Hintergrund: Sie sieht den Abflugort Berlin, filtert passende Strände von der Ostsee bis Dänemark, prüft Einreisebestimmungen für den Hund und berechnet die Fahrtzeit. Wenn Italien mit dem Camper 18 Stunden dauert, schlägt das System einen Zwischenstopp vor – bevor die Familie auf Höhe München kollektiv die Nerven verliert. Die Maschine zwingt uns nicht mehr in ihre Tabellenlogik, sie passt sich unserer Sprache an. Für uns Reisende fühlt sich das an wie das alte Reisebüro an der Ecke – nur eben digital, rund um die Uhr und mit der Leistung eines Rechenzentrums im Hintergrund. Der neue Luxus und die unsichtbare Sortierung Das klingt bequem: Keine 36 offenen Browser-Tabs mehr, kein nächtliches Vergleichen von Hotelbewertungen. Die KI nimmt uns die kognitive Schwerstarbeit ab. Wir äußern Wünsche, die Maschine sortiert vor. Aber genau hier entsteht eine neue Abhängigkeit. Wenn die KI auswählt, sehen wir nur noch das, was der Algorithmus für relevant hält. Die alte Ergebnisliste war mühsam, bot aber Kontrolle. Die KI liefert weniger Chaos, aber auch weniger Transparenz. Wir bekommen eine kuratierte Antwort. Wer sortiert hier eigentlich für uns? Dabei bleibt offen, nach welchen Kriterien das System filtert: Qualität, Preis, Provision oder Verfügbarkeit? Für Reiseanbieter verschiebt sich der Markt komplett. Früher kämpften sie um Plätze bei Google. Künftig geht es um GEO: Generative Engine Optimization. Wer seine Daten nicht maschinenlesbar bereitstellt, existiert für die KI nicht. Das Angebot ist dann nicht schlecht – es ist schlicht unsichtbar. Die besten Empfehlungen sind nicht automatisch die objektiv besten Reisen, sondern die, die das System am leichtesten verarbeiten kann. Bei Algorithmen zählt vor allem Vertrauen Das erklärt, warum der Mensch die Blackbox retten muss. Je stärker Algorithmen vorsortieren, desto wichtiger wird Vertrauen. KI formuliert beeindruckend, aber sie halluziniert auch. Sie missversteht Verfügbarkeiten oder klebt Details aus unterschiedlichen Quellen zu einem allzu schönen Gesamtbild zusammen. Bei einem Ladekabel ist das egal, bei einer Familienreise für 5.000 Euro nicht. Hier schlägt die Stunde für echte Reisebüros und Touristiker. Sie sind keine analogen Restposten, sondern das Gütesiegel in der Flut. Ein guter Berater weiß, ob das „charmante kleine Hotel“ wirklich charmant ist oder nur winzig. Er weiß, ob der flache Strand für Kinder taugt und wann er dem Kunden sagen muss: „Diese Flugverbindung ruiniert Ihnen den ersten Urlaubstag.“ Das ist Expertise, keine Romantik. Reisebüro stirbt nicht – aber muss besser werden Einfache Buchungsarbeit, das reine Eintippen von Daten und Preisvergleiche, wird die Maschine übernehmen. Menschliche Beratung verschwindet nicht, sie verändert ihren Wert. Erfolgreiche Reisebüros müssen künftig Kurator und Vertrauensinstanz sein. Für junge Touristiker heißt das: KI ist kein Feind, sondern ein Werkzeug. Datenkompetenz, Zielgebietswissen und Empathie gehören ab jetzt zusammen. Brauchen perfekte Reisen etwas mehr Chaos? Vielleicht plant die KI irgendwann den perfekten Urlaub: wetteroptimiert, stressfrei und hundefreundlich. Dann merken wir vermutlich, dass perfekte Reisen langweilig sind. Die besten Geschichten entstehen dort, wo der Plan versagt: im falschen Bus, im seltsamen Restaurant oder in der Pension ohne Website, deren Gastgeber den besten Sonnenuntergang kennt. Der neue Luxus ist nicht die perfekte Maschine, sondern der Mensch, der weiß, wann fünf Prozent Chaos einer Reise guttun. Die schönsten Wochen des Jahres brauchen mehr als Daten: Sie brauchen Vertrauen, Erfahrung und jemanden, der sagt: „Nehmen Sie nicht das perfekte Hotel. Nehmen Sie das, an das Sie sich erinnern werden.“ Die V-I-R Innovationstage und ihre Botschaft Das ist auch das Thema in meinem heutigen Deep Dive Podcast. Inspiriert wurde ich dazu von den, wie immer, hervorragenden Innovationstagen des V-I-R. Bei diesem Verband geht es logischerweise komplett um die „neue Internet-Reisewelt“, und wie sie sich verkaufen lässt. Das klassische Reisebüro ist da eher nicht Mitglied.  Aber gerade deshalb – auch durchaus im Sinne des Stationären Vertriebs – findet im Virtuellen derzeit die Entscheidungsschlacht statt, wie wir in Zukunft unsere Reisen buchen. Wie sehr die KI die Touristik gerade umkrempelt. Es gibt kaum ein spannenderes Thema. Wer hat künftig die beste Expertise und ist der beste Reiseberater und Kümmerer? KI-Impulse für die Zukunft der Beratung Grundlage für unsere Analyse des Status Quo – der sich, wie wir wissen, wahnsinnig schnell und radikal verändern kann – sind zwei Vorträge auf den V-I-R Innovationstagen 2026: Marco Otte-Witte und Florian Pichler von Mainmatter haben sich gefragt, was die neuen KI-Wege der Informationssuche für klassische Reiseangebote und ihre Darstellung bedeuten. Und Henrike Lewerenz (Google), Henning Höne (FDP), Salim Sahi (Holologix) und Marco Otte-Witte (Mainmatter) haben sich, moderiert von Travelholics-Host Roman Borch, vorsichtig der Frage angenähert, ob KI nicht gleich ganz die Tourismus-Branche übernimmt…? Ich denke, in unserem Podcast haben wir es geschafft, die vordergründig sehr technische Seite sehr erlebbar und verblüffend Augen-öffnend zu analysieren.

Traditional SCA and SAST tools are notorious for drowning security teams in false positives, historically flagging nine out of ten alerts incorrectly. But while generative AI seems like a magic bullet, simply wrapping an out-of-the-box LLM around your code can result in confident hallucinations and astronomical costs extrapolating to as much as $52 million a year for a large enterprise using frontier models.In this episode, Ashish sits down with Harry Wetherald, CEO and co-founder of Maze, to discuss the evolution of AI-native AppSec and Cloud Security. Harry breaks down the critical difference between vulnerability reachability (is the code active?) and true exploitability (can an attacker actually trigger it logically?). He also explains why the historical walls between cloud security and application security teams are finally crumbling as AI acts as a perfect translator between the two domains.If your team is debating "Build vs. Buy" for AI security tools, this episode is essential. Harry shares the biggest red flags to watch out for in AI vendors (beware the "black box"), how to intelligently route across models to optimize token costs by 100x, and how a true "security brain" orchestrates multiple investigations to provide reliable context across your entire environment.Guest Socials -⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Harry's Linkedin ⁠Podcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Security, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Security Podcast⁠Questions asked:(00:00) Introduction to AI in AppSec(01:50) Harry Wetherald's Background and the Founding of Maze(02:30) Reachability vs. Exploitability Explained(04:45) The "Build vs. Buy" Dilemma for AI Security Tools(08:30) Bridging the Gap Between Siloed AppSec and CloudSec Teams(11:30) Evaluating Out-of-the-Box LLMs vs. Specialized Security Tools(14:20) Solving the Historic AppSec False Positive Problem(18:50) AI Vendor Red Flags: The Danger of "Black Box" Products(20:50) How to Build a True AI-Native Security Architecture(24:45) The Hidden Cost of AI Models: Why Optimization is Crucial(28:00) When to Keep a Human in the Loop for Remediation(34:00) Building a "Security Brain" to Inform AI Coding Agents(39:20) The Launch of Maze Code for Deep Cloud and Code Investigations

Stell dir vor, du übernimmst also eine Business Unit. Die Pipeline ist ein Friedhof. Deals stehen seit Monaten still. Die Vertriebler verkaufen nämlich lieber das, was sie kennen – Hardware, Stahl, etwas zum Anfassen. Aber dein Wachstum soll aus Software kommen. Und du hast kein Team, das direkt an dich berichtet. Sondern Vertriebssatelliten in 170 Ländern, dotted lines, regionale Strukturen. Willkommen im echten B2B Lösungsverkauf. Genau das hat Dietmar Schneider vor zweieinhalb Jahren erlebt. Er kam als Sales Director zu ADB Safegate, einem Weltmarktführer für Flughafen-Sicherheitssysteme. Sein Auftrag nämlich: eine Business Line aus der Krise holen. Das Produkt war nämlich noch in der Entwicklung. Die Pipeline? Voller Luftnummern. Das Team? Über fünf Kontinente verstreut – und natürlich ohne direkte Berichtslinie. Was Dietmar daraus gemacht hat, ist ein Lehrstück in Vertriebssteuerung. Seine Unit wurde übrigens zur am schnellsten wachsenden Business Line des gesamten Konzerns. Und das zudem in einem Markt, der nur 3–5 % pro Jahr wächst. Wie er das geschafft hat? Hier sind seine Methoden. Warum Vertriebssteuerung der entscheidende Hebel ist „Vertrieb ist der Umsatzmotor", sagt Dietmar. „Und ein Motor, der nicht regelmäßig effizient abliefert, bringt das ganze Unternehmen ins Stocken." Genau darum geht es bei Sales Leadership. Nämlich: Nicht nur verkaufen können. Sondern ein System bauen, das zuverlässig Resultate produziert. In komplexen Branchen – Flughafentechnik, Anlagenbau, IT-Lösungen – dauert ein Sales Cycle ein bis zwei Jahre. Ausschreibungen haben 800 Anforderungen. Und natürlich hast du ein Buying Center mit fünf, sechs Entscheidern. Ohne klare Steuerung verlierst du dich im Nebel. Dietmars erster Move: radikale Transparenz. Nach zwei Wochen hat er die komplette Pipeline „watt gemacht". Sprich: Jede Opportunity, die länger als sechs Monate stillstand, wurde hinterfragt. Sein Grundsatz: Die Pipeline ist die Bibel des Vertriebsleiters. Die Pipeline als Steuerungszentrale Was viele Vertriebsleiter unterschätzen: Eine Pipeline lebt nicht von schierer Masse. „Mehr ist nicht immer mehr", warnt Dietmar. Schließlich kennt er den Reflex: „Schlagzahl, Schlagzahl, Schlagzahl!" Aber im komplexen B2B-Geschäft entscheidet Schlagkraft – die Qualität jedes einzelnen Deals. Seine Methode der Vertriebssteuerung setzt an drei Punkten an: Kenntnis der Top-10-Deals. Du musst wissen, wo die größten Opportunities hängen und wo es klemmt. Slippage erkennen. In welcher Phase bleiben Deals stecken? Wer braucht Unterstützung? Lebenszyklus-Denken. Pipeline nicht nur auf den ersten Abschluss ausrichten, sondern auf drei Stufen: Projektumsatz → Service Level Agreement → Change Requests. Dieser Dreiklang hat Dietmars Pipeline von heute bis ins Jahr 2032 ausgedehnt. Plötzlich sieht nämlich jeder Vertriebler nicht nur den einen Deal. Sondern das gesamte Potenzial eines Kunden. Vertriebsmitarbeiter führen heißt: ihnen beibringen, in Lebenszyklen zu denken, nicht in Abschlüssen. Führung ohne Weisungsbefugnis – so geht's Das ist die härteste Disziplin im Sales Leadership. Du bist verantwortlich für Umsatz. Aber die Vertriebler in den Regionen berichten nicht an dich. Sie haben eigene Chefs, eigene Ziele, eigene Gewohnheiten. Wie steuerst du trotzdem? Dietmars Ansatz ist Führung ohne Weisungsbefugnis durch drei Hebel: Wert liefern. Wenn du dem Regionalvertriebler das Leben leichter machst, öffnet er dir die Tür. Von allein. Sei es durch besseres Pre-Sales, bessere Tools oder eine überzeugende Vertriebsgeschichte. Präsenz zeigen. Dietmar besuchte jede regionale Sales-Konferenz persönlich. Er arbeitete mit den Teams vor Ort, verstand ihre Märkte. Und baute dadurch Vertrauen auf. Diplomatie statt Befehl. „Ich kann niemandem sagen: Du machst das jetzt." Stattdessen: gemeinsame Sales-Konferenzen, gemeinsame Pipeline-Reviews. Und natürlich gemeinsame Erfolge feiern. Gerade im Dotted Line Management ist die Kunst: Du musst so viel Mehrwert schaffen. So viel, dass die Leute wollen, dass du dabei bist. Nicht, weil sie müssen. Vom Hardware-Verkäufer zum Lösungsanbieter Eine der größten Hürden im B2B Lösungsverkauf: Du hast eine Install-Base für Hardware. Lampen, Docking-Systeme, Befeuerung. Und jetzt willst du denselben Kunden Software verkaufen. Aber die Vertriebler? Die kommen aus der Welt von „Stahl und Eisen". Etwas zum Anfassen. Dietmars Lösung: keine Zwangsbeglückung, sondern Win-Win-Storytelling. Wenn ein Hardware-Vertriebler versteht: „Mit der Software-Geschichte sichere ich mein Lampengeschäft ab", dann verkauft er sie freiwillig mit. Ganz einfach. Denn er bindet seinen Kunden enger an sich. Sein Team entwickelte dazu ein One-Stop-Shop-Narrativ: „Wir vernetzen euch den kompletten Flughafen." Licht, Docking, Tower-Software, digitale Wartung. Alles aus einer Hand. Das eliminiert Einzelwettbewerber. Und macht den Kundenkleber stärker. Wann du Nein sagen musst Ein oft übersehener Teil der Vertriebssteuerung: die Fähigkeit, Nein zu sagen. Übrigens: Zu Kunden, die nur „mal ein Angebot" wollen. Zu Ausschreibungen, bei denen der Wettbewerber schon gesetzt ist. Zu Opportunities ohne echten Pain. Dietmar ist da glasklar: „Ein Angebot für ein großes Verfahren kostet uns 50.000 bis 100.000 Euro." Wer jeden Request bedient, verbrennt Ressourcen. Deshalb nutzt er MEDPIC – ein Qualifizierungs-Framework, das jeden Deal auf Herz und Nieren prüft. Erst dann fließen Ressourcen. Sein Tipp für die Pipeline-Qualifizierung: „Wenn der Kunde nur zurückschreibt ‚schick mir mal das Angebot', ohne Rückfragen, ohne Interesse – dann will er in 90 % der Fälle einfach seine drei Vergleichsangebote." Lauf. So einfach ist das. Vertriebsmitarbeiter führen heißt in diesem Fall: ihnen den Rücken stärken. Auch mal einen Deal sterben zu lassen. Denn jede Stunde im falschen Deal fehlt im richtigen. Der Turnaround-Bauplan Was Dietmar Schneider in zweieinhalb Jahren geschafft hat, lässt sich auf fast jeden B2B Lösungsverkauf übertragen. Sein Bauplan – konkret in fünf Schritten: Pipeline radikal bereinigen. Alles raus, was älter als sechs Monate ist und sich nicht bewegt. Ehrlichkeit vor Hoffnung. Lebenszyklus-Pipeline aufbauen. Jeder Kunde bekommt drei Blöcke: Projekt → SLA → Change Request. Das macht die Planung auf Jahre belastbar. Seller Education. Trainiere deine Vertriebler im Cross-Selling. Nicht per Memo, sondern in Workshops, Sales-Konferenzen, direkt beim Kunden. Executive Summary auf jedes Angebot. Keine „Zahlenwurst", sondern eine emotionale Zusammenfassung: Warum das Ganze, was der Kunde davon hat. Playbook bauen. Was passiert beim Kundenbesuch? Wie qualifizieren wir? Wie läuft ein Bid-No-Bid? Runtergeschrieben, nachlesbar, trainierbar. Das Ergebnis? Schnellstes Wachstum im gesamten Konzern. Ein Award auf der globalen Sales-Konferenz. Und vor allem: eine Pipeline, die bis 2032 reicht.

These sources explore the evolving landscape of Explainable AI (XAI) and the practical frameworks used to maintain human oversight in automated systems. One source distinguishes between human-in-the-loop, where people must approve actions before execution, and human-on-the-loop, which involves retrospective monitoring of autonomous processes. The other source provides a comprehensive survey on using Large Language Models (LLMs) to translate complex "black box" algorithms into understandable natural language narratives. Together, they address critical architectural tradeoffs regarding latency, risk, and transparency across high-stakes industries like healthcare and finance. By examining various interpretability techniques and oversight patterns, the texts illustrate how to build trust and ensure ethical accountability in artificial intelligence. Ultimately, the materials emphasize that combining automated reasoning with human judgment is essential for creating reliable, user-centric AI workflows.

Ian Dunn didn't set out to become a periodontist. A chance encounter with a stranger in a hospital corridor, a course he took on a whim, and the absence of anyone else doing the job in Liverpool — that's how a specialism was born. In this episode, Payman sits down with Ian to trace a career shaped as much by happy accidents as by hard graft; from a comprehensive school kid who retook his A-levels, to one of the most respected perio voices in the north west.They cover the state of the profession — social media's double edge, the case for CPD reform, awards culture, and the strange silence around perio's role in systemic health. Ian is candid about a GDC case that cost him eleven months of sleep, and equally candid about why he'd never swap his associate chair for a principal's desk.In This Episode00:01:25 — Growing up in Liverpool00:02:10 — Student life at Leeds00:05:35 — Route into dentistry00:11:50 — Ethics and professionalism00:18:50 — Life as a GDP00:19:25 — Route into periodontics00:29:30 — How perio has changed00:41:35 — The mouth-body connection00:46:00 — What's changed in perio00:52:55 — Good vs great periodontists00:56:35 — Industry, big pharma and public education01:00:25 — What grinds your gears01:05:00 — Social media, awards and measuring success01:15:25 — Teaching and self-promotion01:16:30 — Hygienists, teamwork and hierarchy01:20:25 — Liverpool01:24:15 — Blackbox thinking01:27:45 — GDC complaint01:39:50 — Associate life and practice ownership01:46:05 — Best lectures and resources01:53:25 — Fantasy dinner party01:56:15 — How Ian wants to be rememberedAbout Ian DunnIan Dunn is a specialist periodontist based at Rose Lane Dental Practice in Liverpool, where he has worked for over 15 years. A graduate of Leeds, he spent a decade as an NHS GDP before finding his way into perio through a combination of luck, timing and relentless curiosity. Alongside his clinical work, Ian teaches on perio courses and has been active with the British Society of Periodontology, where he is a vocal advocate for hygienists, therapists, and anyone who believes the gums are everyone's business.

In this episode of the ThoughtStretchers Education Podcast, Drew Perkins talks with leading education thinkers Dylan Wiliam, Jo Boaler, and Chris Harrison to explore the work and life of Paul Black and his profound impact on teaching and learning, especially the concept of assessment for learning.

Episode Overview In this special episode, host Drew Perkins brings together a panel of world-renowned educational figures, Dylan Wiliam, Jo Boaler, and Chris Harrison, to evaluate the profound, global impact of the late Paul Black on international education policy and classroom practice. Transitioning from a distinguished background in physics and crystallography to become the absolute cornerstone of modern science education and assessment framework, Paul Black fundamentally reshaped how the world defines student evaluation. This conversation bridges historical policy milestones, such as Black's masterful chairing of the 1987 Task Group on Assessment and Testing (TGAT), with modern instructional hurdles, illustrating beautifully why assessment must serve as a vehicle for authentic meaning-making, intellectual humility, and autonomous learner agency rather than a mechanical system for tracking or ranking students. Core Themes & Key Takeaways The Historical Architecture: The 1987 TGAT Reform: Commissioned by Secretary of State for Education Kenneth Baker, Paul Black chaired the Task Group on Assessment and Testing. His team proposed a revolutionary, age-independent progressive assessment scale that reframed student growth as continuous development rather than static metrics. Despite major political pushback, this foundational blueprint successfully dictated national curriculum frameworks in England for two decades. Inside the Black Box: Moving Research directly into Practitioners' Hands: Dylan Wiliam and Chris Harrison recount the deliberate, user-centric choice to look past dense, extensive academic journal articles and publish the seminal 1998 work, Inside the Black Box, as a slim, highly accessible 28-page booklet. This targeted dissemination placed actionable research directly in front of busy classroom practitioners. Furthermore, Wiliam clarifies why their historical look was a configurative review meant to map the conceptual schema of the field rather than a simple meta-analysis. Redefining Assessment for Learning (AfL): Dialogue over Spreadsheets: The panel issues a stark, cross-continental warning against institutional evaluation frameworks (heavily prevalent in the United States) that compress formative assessment into teacher-led data entries on spreadsheets every few weeks. True Assessment for Learning is an interactive, real-time diagnostic process rooted in rich classroom dialogue, extracting student misconceptions, and adjusting the immediate pedagogical path. Cultivating Learner Agency: Releasing "Explorer Mode": Formative feedback must move toward its own redundancy, systematically transitioning students out of passive compliance ("Passenger Mode") or fragile grade-chasing ("Achiever Mode") into self-regulating agents of their own intellectual development ("Explorer Mode"). The Pedagogy of Humility and Curiosity: Jo Boaler and Chris Harrison share intimate reflections on Paul Black's style as a PhD advisor and colleague. Despite his massive national stature, Black routinely deferred to doctoral students, treating them as co-investigators and displaying immense intellectual curiosity about how young minds think.

In this episode of the Finovate podcast, host Greg Palmer sits down with Caitlyn Truong, CEO and co-founder of Zengines, one of the Best of Show winners from FinovateSpring 2026.Caitlyn shares her journey from software and hardware engineering in the telecom space to consulting in financial services, where she and her co-founders identified a critical gap in data management for legacy systems. The conversation explores how Zengines addresses the challenge of understanding and managing legacy core banking applications written in older programming languages like COBOL, RPG, and PL1. With 92 of the top 100 banks running COBOL mainframe cores and over 50% of credit unions and regional banks using RPG cores, the need for comprehensive data lineage and code intelligence has never been more pressing.The discussion delves into Zengines' unique approach to solving the "black box" problem of legacy applications through contextual code intelligence. Unlike traditional data lineage tools that simply track data pathways, Zengines provides deep context and explainability by ingesting entire code bases and revealing not just what happens to data, but why and how it happens. This capability enables business analysts, data analysts, compliance teams, and technical staff to get answers in seconds rather than waiting days, weeks, or months for subject matter experts. The solution addresses three critical use cases: meeting regulatory compliance requirements, de-risking modernization and transformation initiatives, and ensuring data is AI-ready with the necessary trust and traceability.Caitlyn reflects on the positive reception at Finovate, noting how the Sherlock Holmes-themed presentation effectively communicated the concept of "shining a light into the black box." She emphasizes the immediate impact on end users, who experience dramatically faster response times and comprehensive self-service access to application information. For first-time Finovate participants, Caitlyn recommends maximizing the seven-minute demo by focusing on capturing interest and planting hooks that drive meaningful booth conversations with targeted prospects who share the same pain points. The episode concludes with insights into how Zengines' solution creates ripple effects that ultimately improve the customer experience at financial institutions.More info:Zengines: https://www.zengines.ai/; https://www.linkedin.com/company/zengines/Caitlyn Truong: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caitlyntruong/Greg Palmer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregbpalmer/Finovate: https://www.finovate.com; https://www.linkedin.com/company/finovate-conference-series/FinovateSpring: https://informaconnect.com/finovatespring/#Finovate #FinovateSpring #Banking #banks #creditunions #data #datalineage #corebanking #communitybanks #legacybanking #datamanagement #digitaladoption #podcast #fintechpodcast #financialservices #innovation #digitraltransformation #fintech #finserv #modernization

Meghan Chard is many things at once — principal dentist, practice owner, mum of three, and quietly passionate evangelist for childhood airway health. In this episode, she sits down with Payman for a wide-ranging conversation that takes in meeting her husband Simon at dental school, buying his family's Leicestershire practice a month before their first child arrived, and the very particular chaos of juggling clinical work, business ownership, and family life. Then there's the airway thread — and once Meghan gets going, you can see why she's hooked. Sleep disordered breathing in children is, she argues, a dramatically underscreened problem, and dentists are uniquely placed to spot it.In This Episode00:00:55 — Introductions and Rothley Lodge00:02:30 — Meeting Simon at King's00:05:10 — Life as associates, then buying the practice00:06:05 — Running the practice: ops vs. direction00:08:25 — The dental family advantage00:12:45 — Learning the numbers — and how Pärla helped00:13:00 — Staff management and the art of delegation00:15:30 — Superpowers and self-awareness00:17:35 — The juggle: three kids, two clinical days, one nanny00:20:00 — Something has to give00:26:10 — Mary McAleese, Belfast, and family roots00:30:05 — Childhood airway obstruction: signs, symptoms and the dentist's role00:40:05 — Treatment: referral, palatal expansion and the habit-corrector appliance00:54:10 — Case studies and outcomes00:58:35 — Pärla: the emotional roller coaster of consumer business01:05:35 — Covid and the darkest days of practice ownership01:08:20 — Dental school, inferiority, and graduating second in the year01:16:30 — Blackbox thinking01:26:25 — Faith, spirituality, and community01:30:50 — Succession planning01:35:10 — How Meghan ended up in dentistry01:39:15 — Best lecture: Malcolm Levinkind on teeth, posture and the body01:41:50 — Favourite resources: Breath, Breathe Sleep Thrive, Saved by the Mouth01:42:45 — Sauna obsession and longevity habits01:43:55 — Fantasy dinner party01:45:40 — What she'd do differentlyAbout Meghan ChardMeghan Chard is a principal dentist and co-owner of Rothley Lodge Dental Practice in Leicestershire, which she and her husband Simon Chard took over from his family in 2018.

She is also a niece-in-law of Mary McAleese, former President of Ireland.

Pricing is the most avoided conversation in B2B marketing. It's handed down from finance, rubber-stamped by sales, and marketers are expected to promote whatever number comes out. Matt and Liam make the case that pricing is actually a marketing problem — and that the explosion of "no decision" outcomes in B2B SaaS is largely a symptom of not understanding how buyers think about value relative to cost. Keywords: B2B SaaS pricing, pricing strategy, marketing and finance alignment, go-to-market, buyer psychology

This week on Toilet Radio: Gen X Correspondent Ian sits down with acclaimed film, video game, and television composer Bear McCreary. For folks unfamiliar, Bear has composed music for everything from Battlestar Galactica, God of War, The Walking Dead, and The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. Bear tells us the origins of his desire to put out heavy metal albums after working with Brendon Small, Serj Tankian, and Gene Hoglan on a track for Godzilla: King of Monsters (2019). Now on his second album of his Singularity arc, Bear tells us about getting every heavy hitter in hard rock and heavy metal to join him in releasing tunes. Gen X Ian presses Gene on drum quantization and sampling, the economics of recording drums, and sequencing music for a modern metal sound. Is releasing a metal record a sound financial investment? Hear it from a world-renowned musician himself, “Absolutely not!” This is an excellent interview. Enjoy! Music featured on this ‘sode: Bear McCreary – Black Box (feat.

What happens when a mechanical engineer spends a decade fixing factories, then walks away from it all to start dental school at 34? Henry Totterdell joins Payman to tell that story. He talks about the years spent solving problems on aircraft carriers and chemotherapy production lines, the slow-burning itch to do something with his hands, and why he finally took the plunge. Along the way they get into first principles, the magic of human connection over Zoom, where robots might fit into the chair one day, and the quiet privilege of a patient simply saying thank you. It's a conversation about taking the long way round — and arriving exactly where you meant to.In This Episode00:01:55 - Travel and adventure 00:05:20 - Childhood in Stroud 00:06:15 - Choosing engineering 00:07:35 - Loughborough years 00:08:45 - Engineering versus dentistry 00:10:00 - First principles thinking 00:12:10 - Life as a consultant 00:17:15 - Losing his purpose 00:18:35 - The pharmaceutical world 00:21:00 - The itch to do medicine 00:22:15 - Working with his hands 00:23:50 - The leap to dental school 00:31:50 - The Innovations Hub 00:36:05 - First extraction 00:38:40 - Blackbox thinking 00:43:45 - Starting a business 00:44:55 - Lectures that stuck 00:48:10 - What makes a course brilliant 00:50:25 - The magic of being in the room 00:52:15 - Soft skills and integrity 00:54:20 - Reading the patient 00:57:45 - Regrets 01:01:45 - Robots in the chair 01:06:00 - Relentless optimism 01:06:45 - Darkest days 01:10:20 - Nervous patients 01:13:40 - Awards and recognition 01:16:20 - Confidence and family 01:18:35 - Fantasy dinner party 01:20:45 - Last days and legacyAbout Henry TotterdellHenry Totterdell is a third-year dental student at Bristol, having come to dentistry after a decade as a mechanical engineer and consultant.

Donald Wright speaks with Carman Miller about his book The Black Box: Lady Bessie Borden's Family, 1863–1956. In a remarkable tale of tragedy, war, family conflict, and imperial diplomacy, The Black Box presents a collective biography of four generations of women in an elite Nova Scotia family during the late-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. These intelligent, educated, artistic women were pragmatic and autonomous persons who contributed to the development, maintenance, defence, and management of the Borden family's material resources. Illustrating the changing nature of the time, the book explores the adventurous and curious lives of women who moved at the highest levels of society. It examines how the synergies of their private and public lives redefined their place in society during an era when the state and religion became more active and private lives more public. It also demonstrates the role and importance of the material components of social power, such as dress, residence, clubs, and travel. Drawing on archival material retained by the family, the book reveals how the Borden family defined, secured, and sustained its status in society. The Black Box is a unique record of an elite family's response to the changing political economy of imperial Canada. Carman Miller was born in Nova Scotia and educated at Acadia University (B.A., 1960; B.Ed., 1961), Dalhousie (M.A., 1964) and University of London (Ph.D., 1970). In 1967, he joined the History Department at McGill as a Lecturer; he became Assistant Professor in 1971 and Associate Professor in 1977. He also served as Chairman of the department from 1978 until 1981. Miller's research interests are primarily in Canadian military and political history of the late 19th and early 20th century.

As Brussels prepares to unveil a tech sovereignty package on June 3, the political tone around Europe's digital infrastructure is shifting. A recent investigation by Investigate Europe, published with partners including Tech Policy Press, shows that a confidentiality clause inserted into an EU regulation after industry lobbying allows companies to keep site-level data center energy and water use out of public view, and many operators are not reporting at all. The finding highlights a disconnect between policy ambition and oversight.What does expanding “technological sovereignty” with real accountability look like in practice? To explore this, Tech Policy Press senior editor Ramsha Jahangir spoke with Nico Schmidt, the journalist behind the Investigate Europe report, and Christiaan van Veen of Leitmotiv, a Dutch research and policy consultancy that has analyzed data center permit filings in the Netherlands.
