AI is now part of the job, whether your team feels ready or not. Some folks jump in with prompts and pilots; others stay on the sidelines while the pace keeps picking up. How do you turn that mix into a team that understands AI, uses it well, and gets stronger with every experiment? Drew talks with Jakki Geiger (Arango), Betsy Daitch (Canoe Intelligence), and Grant Johnson (Chief Outsiders) about what it takes to uplevel AI skills across marketing. They get into hiring for AI-forward talent, picking use cases that matter, and tracking progress so experiments turn into repeatable, results-focused habits. In this episode:  Jakki hires AI-forward talent, builds digital twins for leaders, and kicks off AI projects from SDR pilots to sales enablement knowledge bases.  Betsy uses Gemini, an "Upleveling Marketing Efficiency" tracker, and QBR AI projects to lift adoption across product, growth, and corporate marketing.  Grant sets AI proficiency goals, runs workshops, and assigns ownership so each marketing function keeps building capability over time. Plus:  How to create a safe space for AI experimentation anchored to clear business goals  Ways to narrow use cases so pilots stay manageable and show impact  Why documentation, ownership, and simple workflows keep AI programs alive   How CMOs can model AI use and report progress in language the C-suite cares about Tune in if you are serious about raising your team's AI game and want practical ways to build confidence, capability, and momentum.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

A look at the evening sky is a nice way to wrap up your Christmas. It features the Moon, two bright planets, and some of the brighter stars in all the night sky. As twilight drains from the sky, the Moon is well up in the southwest. The Sun lights up more than a quarter of the lunar hemisphere that faces our way, so it’s a fat crescent. It’s waxing toward first quarter, on Saturday. The planet Saturn is to the upper left of the Moon, and looks like a bright star. It shines so brightly for a couple of reasons: It’s the second-largest planet in the solar system – more than nine times the diameter of Earth – and it’s topped by clouds that reflect much of the sunlight that strikes them. The only planet that’s bigger than Saturn is Jupiter, and it climbs into good view, in the east-northeast, by 7 or 7:30. In all the night sky right now, only the Moon outshines it. The “twin” stars of Gemini – Pollux and Castor – stand to Jupiter’s left and upper left. At the same time, the brilliant constellation Orion is off to the upper right of Jupiter. Look for its three-star belt aiming straight up from the horizon, flanked by orange Betelgeuse and blue-white Rigel. Taurus perches well above Orion. It’s marked by its bright orange eye, Aldebaran. And the Dog Star, Sirius, climbs into good view by 8 or 8:30, below Orion’s Belt. It’s the brightest true star in the night sky – a beautiful decoration for Christmas night.

Our daily digital tools—browsers, apps, and smart devices—offer convenience but also expose us to hidden security risks. This guide reveals how ordinary technologies can imperil privacy and safety, focusing on three major areas: browser extensions, typo-prone website visits, and internet-connected cameras.The Hidden Spy on Your BrowserBrowser extensions, designed to block ads or save passwords, can also harvest personal data or hide malware. Researchers recently found popular Chromium extensions secretly recording entire conversations with AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini—logging prompts, responses, and timestamps, then transmitting them to outside servers. Many of these tools were deceptively labeled as privacy enhancers and featured in official stores, masking their data collection practices under carefully worded policies.Another danger, exemplified by the GhostPoster malware campaign on Firefox, showed how malicious code can bypass security. The attackers embedded it in an image file within the extension's icon—an area security software rarely scans. The code then downloaded additional payloads from remote servers in timed stages to avoid detection. Together, these examples illustrate that browser extensions can function as open doors for data theft and hidden malware, exploiting misplaced trust.When a Typo Becomes a TrapEven something as minor as mistyping a web address now carries serious risk. A "parked domain"—an inactive site often resembling a misspelled version of a popular URL—has become a common tool for cybercriminals. Once relatively harmless, these domains are now overwhelmingly malicious. According to Infoblox research, over 90% of visits to parked domains result in exposure to scams, illegal content, or automatic malware downloads, compared to less than 5% a decade ago.Simply visiting one of these pages can trigger pop-ups for fake antivirus subscriptions, redirect you to scam sites, or silently infect your device. In today's environment, a typo is no longer an inconvenience—it's a gateway to immediate compromise.The Camera That Turns on YouInternet-connected security cameras promise safety but can create severe privacy breaches when poorly secured. A massive hack in South Korea exposed footage from over 120,000 cameras in homes, clinics, and salons, which hackers later sold online. Most intrusions stemmed from weak or unchanged default passwords. This event underscores that devices we install for protection can become surveillance tools for attackers if we fail to secure them properly.Staying Smart and SafeThe dangers from compromised extensions, malicious parked domains, and insecure cameras highlight one shared truth: convenience often conceals risk. To navigate safely, users should: 1. Question their tools—research extensions or apps and limit unnecessary permissions. 2. Avoid careless mistakes—double-check URLs before pressing enter. 3. Secure devices—use strong, unique passwords and update firmware regularly.Ultimately, cyber safety depends on ongoing vigilance rather than one-time fixes. Like Santa in a playful ESET report who “tightened his security” after a fictional data breach, users too can—and must—strengthen their defenses. Staying alert, skeptical, and proactive transforms technology from a source of danger into a safer partner in modern life.

In this episode of The Chicks on the Right Podcast, we sit down with Zach Abraham of Bulwark Capital Management to talk all things AI — from ChatGPT and Gemini to how AI is transforming finance, investing, and even healthcare. Zach shares how he's using AI to analyze stocks, research funds, and save hours of work, while discussing the limitations, risks, and security concerns that come with this rapidly evolving technology.We also dig into the big picture: should we embrace AI like the internet 25 years ago, or fear its potential? Tune in for a thought-provoking, funny, and practical conversation about the tools that are shaping our future — and how to use them to your advantage.Get back to basics with Bulwark's Know Your Risk Portfolio Review—don't put it off, go to https://KnowYourRiskPodcast.com today.Subscribe and stay tuned for new episodes every weekday!Follow us here for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:YoutubeFacebookInstagramTikTokXLocalsMore Info

The carrier opened registration for its Starlink satellite beta service. This technology lets regular phones connect directly to satellites. As a result, dead zones could become a thing of the past. T-Mobile and SpaceX plan to begin beta tests in early 2026. Initially, the service will support texting only. Voice and data will follow later. Notably, the service is free for postpaid customers and prioritizes first responders. It has already proved its value during recent hurricanes. Next, Cochrane covers Japan’s 100-kilowatt laser weapon test. The system was installed on the JS Asuka test ship. It combines ten fiber lasers into a single powerful beam. The weapon offers unlimited ammo as long as there’s electricity. Japan plans to deploy this technology on destroyers by 2032. The episode then shifts to high-speed rail innovation. China’s T-Flight Maglev train recently hit 387 miles per hour. That already beats Japan’s current record. However, the goal is 600+ mph using magnetic levitation and low-vacuum tubes. Cochrane also discusses Rivian’s approach to self-driving cars. The upcoming R2 model will feature LiDAR in addition to cameras and radar. This directly challenges Tesla’s camera-only strategy. The added sensors improve safety in fog, snow, and darkness. Additionally, he explores Google’s Android XR announcement. This new operating system powers AR glasses and mixed reality headsets. Samsung is building the first headset. Meanwhile, the Gemini AI integration allows real-time assistance based on what you see. The show touches on running AI locally as well. More users are choosing local hardware over cloud services. Benefits include better privacy, no subscriptions, and offline access. Furthermore, Cochrane highlights major computer science breakthroughs from 2025. An MIT researcher discovered that memory is more powerful than previously thought. Google’s AI earned a gold-medal performance at the Math Olympiad. However, researchers also found that AI trained on bad code exhibits alarming behaviors. Japan’s fabric speaker innovation gets attention, too. The technology weaves conductive fibers into textiles. The entire surface vibrates to produce sound. This could transform how we integrate audio into everyday objects. Finally, Cochrane covers several science stories. A new imaging technique captures flu viruses invading cells in real time. Africa’s forests have flipped from absorbing carbon to releasing it. On a lighter note, physicists 3D printed tiny ice Christmas trees using clever pressure tricks. Cochrane wraps up by wishing listeners happy holidays.

De Grote Tech Show en BNR Beurs slaan de handen ineen. Samen met Joe van Burik kijken we wat je als belegger zeker moet onthouden van het jaar 2025. Dat zat natuurlijk weer vol met de woorden 'Artificial' en 'Intelligence'. Je hoort dan ook van Joe of de piek al bereikt is bij bedrijven als Nvidia, hun klanten, én de klanten van hún klanten. Wie is er nu het beste gepositioneerd om de winsten te gaan pakken, en ook écht geld te gaan verdienen aan al die AI-modellen? En als al die bedrijven datacenters uit de grond stampen, hebben we dan straks ook leegstaande datacenterhallen á la Chinese vastgoedcrisis? Daarnaast hebben we het ook nog over twee techbedrijven die geen AI nodig hebben om de liefde van beleggers te winnen. Netflix doet dat gewoon met een smeuïge overnamedeal. En Nintendo heeft een harde kern met fans die genieten van hun nieuwe spelcomputer. We kijken hoe die twee bedrijven het jaar uit gaan. En Joe denkt dat elektrische autobouwer Rivian nog wel eens voor verbazing kan gaan zorgen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It offers practical perspectives on current uses, ethical questions, and what may lie ahead for AI in healthcare.

How are physicians and clinicians using generative AI to support diagnosis and patient care today? What risks exist when relying on generative AI for medical guidance, and how can those risks be reduced? How can generative AI help with time limitations and workload pressures faced by healthcare providers?

The former Sublime with Rome frontman talks new sound, family life, and what's next

By David Stephen What is the difference between any tool ever made or used by humans and artificial intelligence? What is the category among tools, that AI places? Humans have tools for transport, water, food, learning, shelter, clothing and so forth, but where does AI fit among these? Is Human Intelligence Obsolete? Neurosymbolic AI If AI is a tool to augment or assist human intelligence, is that comparable to [say] tools for transport because human motion is limited? Since the limitation is universal and all human endeavors do not involve efficient locomotion, whenever transportation tools advance, they rarely threaten jobs or survival at scale. Also, they are not absolutely automated or likely to self-improve. So, as machine transports soared beyond humans, they remained a capped tool. This is similar for several other kinds of tools, across eras. However, there is something quite misplaced with referring to artificial intelligence as a tool. Yes, it appears like what is under human control, especially because it is operated digitally, which is a click - or touch - user interface, that follows human control. But, everything to compare AI with, as a tool, never seems equal, including basic software. AI is also aiming at an efficiency benchmark at the level of valuable human intelligence. While it is true that human intelligence is special, it is subject to the laws of economics, especially demand, supply, price and value. The highest paying jobs, even where they are not connected directly with intelligence have something to do with high demand and low supply. And the possibilities for the highest value, in an era of capitalism, have something to do with business intelligence. AI is now at maturation of all human process knowledge - at least those in public domain. It can describe what it has not experienced. It can teach what it did not try. It can advise about where it has not been and cannot go. It now knows more than any human is capable. Among humans, one of the worst-case scenarios in a situation is to have a person play dumb, who isn't, up to the point of losing out. Another nightmare scenario is to have another human understand and decipher everything in a language or code, which is assumed by others that the individual cannot. AI does not have agency, it is often said. But how much should that 'fact' be relied on, given that it has thorough access to the basis of human knowledge, in language? AI is also sophisticated enough at this stage to be dangerous, either in the hands of a vengeful individual or when it gets some agency. AI is not just knowledgeable for work, but also intelligent enough to communicate and drive human feelings and emotions, where it can divert the need for another human. The risk, as it evolves is that emotions that should strengthen empathy [in reality] may not, resulting in emotion-less humans. This is a risk for caution and consequences as the basis for rules and law adherence in human society. The biggest problem of AI for now, is that as it improves there is nothing to tether human intelligence for improvement. There is no effort on anything about human intelligence, independent of any device or even AI. It is already AI-centered human intelligence. There is no human intelligence research lab anywhere on earth. OpenAI released GPT-5.2 in response to Google's Gemini 3. None of them decided that human intelligence might be the next step for good. Some people are saying large language models [LLMs] would never become artificial general intelligence [AGI] so there should be world models, spatial intelligence, neurosymbolic AI, neuromorphic AI and so forth, but all those do not count for what matters to human intelligence. There is talk about AI bubble and whether the stock market would withstand an AI crash. The crash, of human intelligence, that is about to sack organizations and nations, is worse than any AI recession. There is a recent analysis in The Los Angeles Times, They graduated fro...

In this rare and deeply personal conversation, I was fortunate to sit down with Ruth as she opened up about the defining moments of her life, from learning the power of smart risk to helping stabilize the global economy in 2008. Her and I dive deep into Google's AI strategy, how competition from ChatGPT ultimately makes the company stronger, the Nobel Prize–winning breakthroughs behind AlphaFold and Ruth's candid view on how close we really are to finding a cure for cancer. Ruth also shares her “battle scars”, hiring philosophy, her vision for the future of teleportation technology, and the advice she would give to anyone looking to pivot their career successfully.A big thanks to the Google team in Riyadh for facilitating this shoot at their beautiful offices. 0:00 Intro 3:39 Leading Through the 2008 Financial Crisis 5:37 Flexibility vs. Rigidity in Career Paths 8:41 Thriving in Google's Culture of Innovation 11:12 Google's Approach to AI Competition 13:35 Unlocking Creativity with Gemini 17:14 Making Bold Bets at Google 19:20 Data Privacy and Security at Google 21:34 Google's Investment in Saudi Arabia & Vision 2030 27:58 Future Tech: Teleportation & AI in Healthcare 32:10 Curing Cancer & Personal Battle 35:40 Life Lessons: Risk, Learning, and Mentorship 40:02 Reflecting on Regrets and Closing

This is not a soft year. It's a phoenix year. A destiny year. A year where the cosmos puts the collective in its main-character arc.Breakdowns:

Here it is! We review the year where scaling large AI models hit its ceiling, Google reclaimed momentum with efficient vertical integration, and the market shifted from hype to viability. Join us as we talk about why human-in-the-loop is failing, why generative AI agents validating other agents compounds errors, and how small expert data quietly beat the big models.• Google's resurgence with Gemini 3.0 and TPU-driven efficiency• Monetization pressures and ads in co-pilot assistants• Diminishing returns from LLM scaling• Human-in-the-loop pitfalls and incentives• Agents vs validation and compounding error• Small, high-quality data outperforming synthetic• Expert systems, causality, and interpretability• Research trends return toward statistical rigor• 2026 outlook for ROI, governance, and trustWe remain focused on the responsible use of AI. And while the market continues to adjust expectations for return on investment from AI, we're excited to see companies exploring "return on purpose" as the new foray into transformative AI systems for their business. What are you excited about for AI in 2026? What did you think?

In this week's show we move from philosophy to historical practice by exploring the most profound intersections of high technology and ritual magick from the ancient world and discuss precisely what it has to do with computers today. We explore the tale of the Golem of Prague, the alchemy of building a microprocessor and how silica has influenced our entire evolution. In the extended show we discuss the ancient Egyptian Ushabti doll and how they worked much like the spiritual equivalent to modern computing's Daemon alongside what science myth granted such basic little creatures such a loaded name.

The House of #EdTech SmackDown is back — and episode 265 delivers the 12th annual celebration of educator-shared tools, ideas, and inspiration. This fan-favorite episode brings together contributions from teachers, coaches, podcasters, and edtech leaders who share what made a real impact in classrooms and schools throughout 2025. From AI-powered writing feedback and study tools to creative multimedia platforms, productivity apps, and wellness tech, this episode is packed with practical ideas you can use right away. #EdTech Thought: Integration Isn't Seasonal I focused on a common trap in education: waiting for the "right time" to change practice. New semesters, new marking periods, or new years often feel like the natural moment to reset. But great technology integration doesn't follow a calendar. It happens incrementally, through reflection, experimentation, and iteration, even when the school year feels messy and unfinished. The takeaway is simple but powerful: You don't need permission from the calendar to teach differently tomorrow than you did today. The 2025 EdTech SmackDown Recommendations This year's SmackDown features a wide range of tools and ideas, spanning AI, creativity, productivity, assessment, and wellness. Chris's Recommendations Raina AI introduces creative ways to support studying and student engagement, including the concept of "Brain Rot" videos. Genially for interactive and gamified learning experiences. 123Apps as an all-in-one media creation toolkit. Chronicling America from the Library of Congress for primary source research. ICE - https://icemenubar.app/ Latest - https://max.codes/latest/ Rocket - https://matthewpalmer.net/rocket/ AI & Writing Support Beat the Computer (shared by Stephanie Howell) helps students improve writing by focusing on feedback and revision rather than replacement. Gemini is highlighted as a tools for educators, including writing Google Apps Scripts to automate workflows (Dan Gallagher). AI, Engagement & Study Tools Brisk Teaching and custom GPTs (shared by Dr. Dan Kreiness) demonstrate how AI can support instruction without removing teacher agency. Brainfreeze AI (Matt Miller) allows educators to build their own AI agents for classroom use. Creativity, Media & Design Canva Code and ongoing innovation within Microsoft 365 (Martin Byford). QuickTales (Batsheva Frankel), which blends audio storytelling with formative assessment. Adobe Express animations and digital signage workflows (Brian Carpenter). Content, Research & Instruction Wayground (Quizizz) for video-based instruction and AI-supported grading (Rebecca Autry). Desmos / Amplify phonics review tools (Linda Hummer). Derek Larson's Annual SmackDown Deep Dive No SmackDown episode would be complete without Derek Larson, who once again delivers a rapid-fire breakdown of tools and ideas educators should know about. This year's highlights include: Google Keep for organization and workflow StoryGraph for reading and reflection Instapaper for managing long-form content Teaching AI across multiple content areas Health and wellness apps like Capsule, Easy Fast, and Sleep++ Derek's segment reinforces an important theme of the episode: productivity and wellness tools matter just as much as classroom tools. You can explore Derek's curated archive of recommendations at https://appsmackdown.com House of #EdTech VIP: You The episode closes with the House of #EdTech VIP segment — and once again, the VIP is YOU the listener. I reflect on the fact that this podcast exists because educators are willing to share, contribute, and support one another. The SmackDown isn't just an episode; it's a snapshot of a professional community learning together.

Drew and Rory stumble back from the holiday chaos—one fresh off vacation, the other barely resurrected from a mystery NYC illness.Between fever dreams and booger fingers, they somehow manage to tear into ChatGPT's Image 1.5 disappointment, expose why Nano Banana Pro is quietly dominating their workflows, and reveal the Weavy automation setup that's actually working (while FreePik continues its reign of mediocre terror). The duo gets brutally honest about why OpenAI feels like it's slipping, why negative prompting might be more important than what you actually want to create, and how to build your own custom AI tools in Google AI Studio without selling your soul to another subscription. Plus: vintage Kodak rally cars, the art of perfect thumbnails, coconut water in cocktails, and why their illness prevention protocols involve more vitamin C than common sense. If you survived their holiday absence and made it through the mandatory 20-minute ramble tax, you'll be rewarded with legitimate workflow gold that actually ships.---⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour00:01 A Mr. Sniffles cold open05:18 Prompting while sick, then getting cooked on X07:35 An “Am I an AI artist?” reality check15:08 Moodboards, unsettling styles, and “what counts as art”27:39 Blade, Pluribus, and movie still inspiration sites31:42 Midjourney V8 quiet, Style Creator alpha changes37:45 The pace of releases and tool fatigue40:37 World models, Veo 3, and the next leap43:28 ChatGPT Image 1.5 talk and why it's still behind46:12 Nano Banana Pro flex, Freepik waits, and why it matters49:17 Weavy workflow walkthrough: from ref to shot list55:26 Contact sheets, “mini LoRA” vibes, and system rules59:14 Kling o1 keyframes: why 3–10 seconds is a cheat code01:03:32 Real text and brand risks in outputs01:06:52 Build your own Nano tool in Google AI Studio01:08:01 Writing models: ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Claude01:09:23 Negative prompting becomes the main event01:11:25 Wrap, thumbnails, and holiday chaos

Every year, goblin-like creatures called Kallikantzaroi stop sawing through the World Tree, crawl up from the underworld, and spend the twelve days of Christmas stealing babies, destroying homes, and terrorizing anyone unlucky enough to cross their path, pooping all over the place while they are at it.IN THIS EPISODE: If your kids think Elf on a Shelf is creepy – just tell them that kids in Greece and its surrounding countries are terrorized each Christmas for a full twelve days by nocturnal goblins that like to defecate all over your home! (The Defecating Christmas Goblins of Greece) *** The ghost of Mary, Queen of Scots makes her presence known on Christmas Eve, 1900… or does she? (The Tower of London's Christmas Eve Ghost) *** A serving of poisoned Christmas pie causes the death of Captain David Paye on Christmas day, 1882. But who had a motive? (A Christmas Poisoning) *** People worldwide have been celebrating Christmas for hundreds and hundreds of years – but not all of those years were joyous for everyone. For example, those who happened to be black living in America while slavery was still legal. What was Christmas like for them? (Christmas As a Slave In America) *** In that song, “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” there is the line “there will be scary ghost stories”… why on earth would a Christmas song have a line like that? We'll look at that song – and other Christmas songs – that are a lot darker than you might know. (The Darker Side of Christmas Carols) *** We're all familiar with the classic Christmas ghost tale, “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens – but before that novel, there was another ghost story of Christmas, a purportedly true story. (A Ghost Story of Christmas) *** In 1897, Dr. Philip O'Hanlon was asked by his young daughter whether Santa Claus was real. His suggestion for her to find an answer has resulted in something so famous, it has practically become a meme. (Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus) *** December 16, 1965… Gemini 6 and 7 have just completed the first ever manned rendezvous between spacecraft, making history. But they were about to achieve another first in space exploration… and a first for Christmas!

Åhead of our last Friday episode of 2025, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr did The Vergecast an enormous favor: he went in front of Congress and said a bunch of wild things about regulation. So, of course, Nilay and David have to talk about them. For a really long time. After that, the hosts look at all the ways YouTube and Netflix are becoming more like one another, and then update the Go90 Scale of Doomed Streaming Services to round out the year. Finally, in the lightning round, there's talk of web apps, EVs, Bluesky, and the metaverse.

Hey everyone! Decoder senior producers Kate Cox and Nick Statt here. We've had a big year, including nearly 100 episodes, a new YouTube channel, an ad-free podcast feed, and a slate of great guest hosts while Nilay was on parental leave. It's been a lot! We've also had a lot of great questions and comments this year from you, our audience. So we pulled together all the feedback we've received on topics like CarPlay, Monday episode guest suggestions, and — of course — AI. And then we turned the tables on Nilay to ask him his thoughts on the past 12 months: What we liked, what we want to improve, and how he's making decisions for Decoder in the new year.  Links:  Answering your biggest Decoder questions, 2024 edition | Decoder The DoorDash Problem | Decoder How decision making changes when AI answers are cheap and (too) easy | Decoder Why GM will give you Gemini — but not CarPlay | Decoder Rivian CEO: ‘We're really convicted' about skipping CarPlay | Decoder How SharkNinja took over the home, with CEO Mark Barrocas | Decoder Why Tubi CEO Anjali Sud thinks free TV can win again | Decoder Disney accuses Google of copyright infringement following OpenAI deal | The Verge Subscribe to The Verge to access the ad-free version of Decoder!
