Generative AI has disrupted familiar approaches to teaching and assessment, but also created new opportunities to reconsider what, and how, we want students to learn. In this episode, Travis Thurston and Beth Buyserie join us to discuss ways of using AI productively in our classrooms by shifting the focus of learning assessment from product to process. Travis is the founding Director of the Center for Empowering Teaching Excellence at Utah State University. Beth is an Associate Professor of English and the Director of Composition at Utah State University. They are co-editors of Teaching and Generative AI: Pedagogical Possibilities and Productive Tensions. Show notes and the transcript for this episode may be found at http://teaforteaching.com.
Live recording of the fortnightly podcast Design Systems WTF (back for season two!), where Luke Murphy and Michelle Chin attempt to combat all the amazing wtf in design systems. In each episode, they answer a single question around design system troubles with a Q&A from the live audience.A few years ago everyone started talking about how AI-powered interfaces are going to start generating UI on the fly. But how close is that from being a reality? Have there been any advances towards it being a mainstream thing? And what do we need to know from a design systems perspective to cater towards it?Show notesRachel-Lee Nabors — "Death of the Browser" — the talk that sparked the topicChatGPT Apps SDK — the plugin-style generative UI route, with Booking.com among the launch partnersInteractive apps in Claude (MCP Apps) — the Anthropic equivalent A2UI — Google's declarative spec letting agents send UI as component descriptions rather than executing codeThe Complete Guide to Generative UI Frameworks in 2026 — a rundown of the generative UI framework landscape, covering A2UI, CopilotKit/AG-UI, MCP Apps and moreNN/g's 10 Usability Heuristics — the "codified best practice" comparisonGeri Reid — the Converge US talk — Geri's talk about flexibility and NewsKitGet in touchLuke on BlueskyMichelle on Bluesky
Generative AI is entering clinical workflows just as healthcare institutions grapple with black-box outputs, unclear regulation, and the need for provable accuracy. In this episode, Rhett Alden, CTO at Elsevier, joins Emerj's Yolandi de Weerdt to articulate how claim-level validation and transparent sourcing are becoming prerequisites for clinical trust in AI. The conversation covers emerging AI governance boards modeled on clinical trial review structures, the limits of current US regulation, and why final clinical responsibility remains with the physician.

What if generative AI actually grows the music business instead of shrinking it? This week, Dmitri Vietze tackles the AI question everyone's tired of hearing about, but from a different angle. First, Matt Adell, co-founder of Musical.ai, breaks down the $20 billion opportunity sitting inside AI music, and what it actually takes to get consent, attribution and compensation right instead of scraping music without permission. Then Gaurav Sharma, founder of Hook, makes the case for AI as an amplifier for fan engagement rather than a replacement for artists, and why even a fraction of social music consumption could be worth as much as streaming is today. Stick around after the interview for a preview of next week's episode with Daouda Leonard of CreateSafe, former creative director for Grimes, on the story behind Grimes AI voice licensing platform elf.tech and what they learned from building it. This episode is part of the Rising Tide miniseries, working through the revenue multipliers that grow the value of the music industry, all leading up to the Music Tectonics Conference this October in Santa Monica. The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

Dr. David Spiegel is the Wilson Professor and Associate Chair of Psychiatry at Stanford, the co-founder of the hypnosis app Reverie, and one of the world's leading clinical researchers on hypnosis. He has worked with over 7,000 patients across 50 years, and in this conversation he opened with something I did not expect: he tested my hypnotizability live on camera. I scored a nine out of ten. What followed was one of the most genuinely surprising conversations about the mind I have had on this show.What We Dive Into:1. The self you walk around with is not a fixed structure. Dr. Spiegel calls it a convenient assumption, something the brain constructs to simplify experience. Hypnosis reveals this by demonstrating how quickly and completely a person can shift, often in a single session.2. Memories are not neutral recordings. They are laid down and retrieved from brain regions that manage affect, which means the emotion and the memory are inseparable. Working with a memory hypnotically allows you to enter it, update its emotional meaning, and change how it lives in you.3. The same capacity that lets a child survive abuse by mentally leaving their body can, in adulthood, become a habitual distance from experience. Understanding whether your detachment is a protective skill or an old survival pattern still running is one of the more honest questions this conversation surfaces.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

Ask ChatGPT for the best mobile puzzle game and it does not say Candy Crush. It says Monument Valley, a game from 2014 that is not on any top grossing chart.Kalie Moore has spent the last year working out why, and this is the version a game studio can act on.I keep getting the same question from studios: how do you get found now that players ask an AI instead of searching. So I asked someone who does it for a living.Kalie Moore runs High Vibe PR, a boutique PR agency for gaming, AI and frontier tech companies, with offices in the USA, Europe and Asia. Clients include Pocket Worlds, the publisher of Highrise, and Overwolf, who she has worked with for six years. She also started PRCoverage.AI, a PR reporting platform she built the first version of herself after a dev shop quoted her $60,000 to $80,000 for an MVP, and then brought on a co-founder and CTO to make it something other agencies could use. In this conversation she walks through the work, the data, and the parts she says she cannot prove yet.Generative engine optimization, or GEO, is the practice of getting a brand named in AI answers, the way SEO gets you ranked in search results. For a game studio that means tracking which games and studios ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews name for a given prompt, then building the earned media those answers are assembled from.WHAT YOU GETHow game studios actually get recommended by ChatGPT, and why app store rank and AI recommendations measure two different things. When Kalie checked, Monument Valley sat at number 11 on US App Store paid and neither it nor the sequel appeared on free downloads or top grossing, and ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity all still named it first.Which sources AI engines actually cite for games. On the prompt she tested, 18 of ChatGPT's 24 cited sources were best-of listicles, 5 were Wikipedia and 1 was Reddit. Gemini used four sources for its whole answer, one of which was the game publisher's own blog.How Pocket Worlds' Highrise took 10 of 12 target prompts off Roblox in the US, including best mobile virtual world, and the earned media base that made it possible in a month rather than a year.Why you do not need IGN. Niche genre roundups, a publisher blog and creator videos all get cited, and for cozy games a single 500,000 subscriber YouTuber outweighs the games press.Whether ranking in AI actually converts to players. Kalie is direct that she cannot yet tie an AI ranking to paid users. What she can cite: AI platforms pulling 9.5 billion visits a month globally, up 70% year over year while Google search stays flat, AI's top pick becoming the user's pick in 74% of cases, and 88% of people accepting the shortlist without a second prompt.How fast a citation source can disappear. Reddit accounted for close to 4% of ChatGPT's search citations until 14 August, when PromptWatch measured an 86% drop.How a boutique PR agency ended up shipping software, and the one job Kalie will not let AI near: executive positioning. Including the client media list, clearly generated by a chatbot, that had a dead journalist on it.CHAPTERS0:00 What PR Actually Does3:47 How AI Decides Which Games Get Named8:50 Case Study: Outranking Roblox12:18 Does AI Ranking Convert?14:07 Building High Vibe on Word of Mouth18:36 Building PRCoverage.AI24:12 The Gaming GEO Leaderboard28:46 Founders Going Direct34:13 Six Years of Overwolf Comms37:48 Listicles, Reddit and the Citation Crash41:17 Start Narrow, Start Now45:09 Get Your Founders Writing47:23 Why AI Makes Everyone Average49:37 Where to Find KalieKALIE MOOREHigh Vibe PR: https://highvibepr.comPRCoverage.AI: https://prcoverage.aiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaliemoore/Gaming GEO leaderboard: https://www.highvibepr.com/gaming-geo-leaderboard?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=gamemakers
STEAM Box and the youth of the summer ACN program sit down with author and artist Dr. Nettrice Gaskins. Recognized as a leading pioneer of "Afrofuturism 3.0," Gaskins discusses how generative AI acts as a digital continuum of her background in computer graphics, education, and traditional fine arts.The conversation dives straight into the high-stakes debates surrounding AI in the arts today. Dr. Gaskins addresses the systemic racial biases baked into mainstream image generators, sharing how she bypasses stereotypical prompts to create art that truly represents Black women. The group also tackles the environmental and social costs of data centers built in underprivileged communities, contextualizing these technological challenges within a broader critique of capitalism.From navigating online "pitchforks" over her public airport art exhibits to unpacking the ongoing culture wars involving major musical figures like Lupe Fiasco, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Gaskins offers a masterclass in staying resilient. She also shares fascinating behind-the-scenes details of her recent visual design collaboration with Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth Carter on the film Sinners, as well as her innovative STEAM lab project that utilizes micro:bits to turn the traditional, enslaved Juba/Hambone dance into personalized, bias-free AI models. Ultimately, she challenges the next generation of creators to look past simple "virtue signaling" and build non-hierarchical systems that reshape our collective future.#Afrofuturism #AIArt #NettriceGaskins #STEAMEducation #AIBias #STEAMBoxPodcast #CreativeCoding #CultureWars #JubaDance
John continues his conversation with Alice Sesay Pope about how AI is changing business, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

Still inspect, still conduct your audit." "Life and business are all about relationships. There's nothing before that. There's nothing after that." "Every business is a problem solver of some kind." "Success is utilizing your God-given talents to make the world a better place. So, when you go to bed at night, you feel good about what you do." "You can have an advisor, or a coach, Generative AI. But there's nothing more powerful than a real person who could be a coach, who can exchange an idea with you, who can feel your pain when you've had a failure, and help you say, 'Get back up again,' and encourage you." "There will be people who embrace the tools that will build wealth in ways that we've never seen before … but, at the same time, there are people that will be too scared of it … and it will widen the wealth gap." "Don't just launch a generative AI solution just to be launching it … Start with your customer. What can you solve for your customer faster? Will it reduce customer effort? Will it increase loyalty?" "There's something that's still powerful about a human connection and I hope our world doesn't lose that."

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Being a great lawyer doesn't automatically attract clients; law firms need strong marketing to bring in the right clients, not just more clients.* Recurring subscription revenue benefits both the law firm and its clients by enabling long-term planning, consistent service, and predictable budgeting on both sides.* To show up in AI search results, law firms must publish content that directly answers the questions their clients are already asking, especially about pricing.* Putting pricing information on your website is no longer optional, as AI platforms like ChatGPT are actively pulling cost data to answer client queries.* Consistent visibility across platforms (LinkedIn, website, YouTube, third-party publications) with a uniform business name and regular content is the foundation of being recommended by AI search tools.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

There are solid gains to knowledge workers. But smaller ones outside it.
AI can write a paper, crank out a marketing plan, and summarize a 150 page report but that does not mean you should hand over your brain. Kevin Surace joins us to share how high performers actually use generative AI and why the real advantage is not the tool, it is the way you think while using it. We get specific on practical ChatGPT workflows for creators, leaders, and operators: drafting your core points first, then using AI to refine structure, tone, and clarity; generating visual concepts quickly; uploading messy spreadsheets to find what matters; and pressure testing a business idea by asking AI to poke holes and surface risks. Kevin also breaks down the fear side, explaining why today's cloud based AI is not an autonomous “takeover” machine and what would truly change once physical robots become widespread. Then we go straight at the career question. Jobs do not disappear overnight, but tasks do. Kevin's advice is blunt: learn the AI tools in your field, use them daily, and become the person who can direct the technology instead of being replaced by it. We wrap with a surprising shift into mindset and his upcoming book, The Joy Success Cycle, including a challenge that hits hard: count your daily complaints, then cap yourself at one to force more joy, focus, and problem solving energy.

Matt joins Paul for another episode in the “Seven Big Questions About AI” series to explore a provocative question: is generative AI actually good at anything meaningful?They unpack what it really means for AI to be “good” at something, distinguishing between being useful or effective and producing genuine quality. The conversation explores why this distinction matters as generative AI moves deeper into creative work, where quality can depend on originality, surprise, and the ability to produce something that feels genuinely new rather than simply replicating what already exists.The conversation examines whether AI can ever create work that meets those higher standards, including why its ability to predict what comes next may make genuine surprise and originality difficult. They also explore the role of the human in the loop, and why simply having a human involved isn't enough. Matt argues that humans should be deeply engaged at the beginning and end of the creative process, using AI to refine and extend their thinking without allowing it to define the creative direction or erase their individual voice.Paul and Matt also discuss the growing appeal of AI's ability to produce work that is “good enough,” particularly inside organizations, and whether a world flooded with efficient but mediocre AI-generated content could ultimately make quality more valuable. They explore what this could mean for customer service, creative work, and the broader workplace, including the possibility that distinctly human qualities such as judgment, imperfection, and human-to-human connection could become increasingly important differentiators.The episode ultimately asks where AI genuinely adds value and where humans remain essential, arguing that the most powerful future may not be AI replacing human creativity, but humans and AI combining their respective strengths to create things neither could produce alone.Humanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations be ready for the future of work by maximizing their human potential.For more information, and access to our weekly newsletter, visit us at humanityworking.net.

John Riewerts leads product engineering at Acoustic, a marketing engagement company. He joins us on day three of eTail Boston to take apart a phrase every marketer uses and few define, bringing the audience closer to the brand, and to explain why the listening half of marketing is the half that gets underbuilt.Riewerts frames the discipline as two tools. Marketers send messages, which becomes campaigning. And marketers listen, which means reading behavior, because as he puts it, no consumer ever sends a brand a message saying whether they like it. They answer through their actions instead.He also walks through Acoustic AI, the company's new layer on top of the platform, and the argument behind it. Generative tools are only as good as the context they are given, so the value is in what the model gets to read. Beyond writing messages and building segments, Acoustic AI pushes unprompted recommendations when it spots repeat buyers slowing down, interest building in an out-of-stock product, unsubscribes spiking on one campaign, or consumer fatigue climbing.He closes on four pillars, product, campaign, audience and behavioral intelligence, and a critique of the current tooling. Marketing automation is campaign-centric, and nobody lives in a single-campaign world.Guest: John Riewerts, Lead Product Engineering, Acoustic Recorded live at eTail Boston, August 10 through 12, 2026.

If staying focused feels like a losing battle, this episode is for you. Danielle McGeough joins Sam Cotterill and Jake Parker to talk about creating a creative life that's both fruitful and sustainable through play, introspection, and aligned expectations.
In today's episode of the Successful Nurse Coach Podcast, we kick off a series with Tony Robbins' framework of the six basic human needs. We explore what each need is, how they show up in our lives (both generatively and destructively), and why understanding your top two needs is essential for designing a life of intention and fulfillment.The Six Basic Human Needs:Certainty: The need for stability, security, and predictability. Knowing where your next meal, paycheck, or home is coming from. Uncertainty / Variety: The need for novelty, stimulation, and change. Without it, life feels like Groundhog's Day. Growth: The need to expand, learn, and evolve. Everything alive is either growing or dying. Shadow side: Never feeling satisfied, compulsive achievement at the cost of relationships. Generative side: Rocket fuel for impact and purpose.Significance: The need to feel important, special, and recognized. Love & Connection: The need to feel close to others. We're social creatures. Contribution: The desire to give beyond oneself and leave a legacy. Only those who prioritize growth and contribution report lasting fulfillment.Key Takeaways:Everyone has all six needs, but your top two are in the driver's seat — they shape your decisions, career path, and relationships.If your life doesn't satisfy your top two needs, you'll walk around in a "tolerable level of misery" and seek to get them met in either generative or destructive ways.The host's personal top two needs are growth and significance — and she shares how understanding this has explained patterns throughout her entire life.You don't need to change who you are; you need to understand who you are and harness your needs intentionally.Balance is a myth — we're always in motion. The goal is awareness and course-correction, not perfection.Growth + contribution are the two needs linked to lasting fulfillment. Without them, you'll eventually ask, "What's it all for?"In Part 2 of this series we will dive into how to identify your own top two needs and how they're quietly running your life.

Artificial intelligence has spent the last several years getting smarter on screens, recommending what to watch, drafting what to write, answering what we ask. This type of progress is now spilling out into the physical world, where machines are starting to move, sense, and adapt on their own. In this episode of Tech Transformed, host John Santaferraro, Founder and Analyst at Ferraro Consulting, talks with Prith Banerjee, Senior Vice President of Innovation at Synopsys, about what happens when AI has to obey the laws of physics instead of just the patterns in a dataset.Banerjee brings a rare vantage point to the conversation. Before Synopsys, he led HP Labs worldwide, served as group CTO at ABB and Schneider Electric, and ran engineering simulation software company ANSYS as CTO until its acquisition by Synopsys roughly a year ago - a deal that now anchors much of what he describes as Synopsys's "silicon to systems" strategy.The Road to Physical AIBanerjee traces AI's progress through distinct phases he's tracked across his career. It started with analytics, which was the correlation engines behind a Netflix recommendation, or the placement and routing improvements Synopsys has long applied inside its own chip design tools. Generative AI came next, giving machines the ability to produce original language, images, and video from a prompt rather than just surface existing content. Agentic AI followed close behind, handing off entire tasks, drafting a slide deck, prepping a sales call to systems that act more like assistants than tools.Physical AI is the phase Banerjee sees unfolding now, and it's a different kind of leap. Instead of learning from words or pixels, these systems learn from real physical measurements: pressure, temperature, stress, and strain. Training that kind of intelligence takes synthetic data generated across structural, fluid, and electromagnetic physics precisely the simulation capability ANSYS brought into Synopsys.Teaching Robots to Learn Like HumansThe shift shows up clearly in how robots are built today. A decade ago, getting a robotic arm to pick up a bottle without crushing it meant writing enormous programs, sometimes 100,000 lines of code specifying exactly how each motor should move. Physical AI throws that playbook out. Banerjee compares it to teaching a child to ride a bike: nobody narrates which pedal to push. The child watches, tries, falls, and adjusts.Robots now learn the same way, refining their behaviour through reward and penalty as they attempt a task thousands of times. Autonomous vehicles follow the identical pattern at far greater scale, learning from millions of hours of driving footage until they recognise, for instance, that a pedestrian stepping into the street means stop. Synopsys works with autonomous vehicle and robotics companies to generate the synthetic training data that makes this kind of learning possible without requiring endless real-world testing.Engineering the Intelligent Systems of TomorrowThat intelligence has to run on something, and the conversation turns to what it takes to build the silicon underneath it. Chips that once held a few hundred thousand transistors now carry tens or hundreds of billions, some approaching trillions, stacked using advanced 3D and chiplet techniques. Designing them means balancing power, performance, and thermal limits simultaneously rather than simply over-engineering for safety margin, which Banerjee calls co-design.Synopsys is tackling that complexity with what it calls agent engineers. AI systems introduced at its Converge conference that work alongside human chip designers on tasks like RTL design, test benches, and sign-off, effectively multiplying engineering capacity without multiplying headcount. The same pressure shows up at the edge, where trained AI models have to run inside a drone, car, or warehouse robot on a fraction of the power a data centre would use, with no room for cloud latency. Banerjee shares his perspective on why many AI projects struggle. He argues that the real challenge lies in balancing innovation with trust: robots operating alongside people raise questions of safety and collaboration, while autonomous systems connected to networks demand security, traceability, and clear explanations for the decisions they make.His advice to engineering leaders is to treat this shift as organisation-wide rather than a single team's problem, from legal and marketing functions already using agentic tools to engineering teams rethinking how code gets written. The goal, as he puts it, isn't replacing people but making them capable of far more than they could manage alone.

I interviewed Director Minhyuk Che & Producer Sngmoo Lee about 8pm and the Cat on Saturday, August 30, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for 8pm and the Cat: "Cartoonist Haru loses his partner, Mina, in the Itaewon tragedy. Since then, 8 pm — the hour she used to come home — keeps repeating: an ordinary moment in daily life now shadowed by her absence. Within that single hour, different emotional rooms unfold. Images and monologues are generated in real time, shaping singular emotional moments. This generative VR experience invites the audience into Haru's ongoing process of mourning — through the act of constantly drawing and speaking about her." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Death, Loss, Grief [8] of a primary partner [7], the Pain and Suffering [12], as well as the home and artifacts that carry the memories of a relationship [4] Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Emotional Presence: Story of loss and grief - The connection between Space and Emotion2nd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Tell the story off loss by montage sequences of objects, spaces, and the liminal afterlife3rd Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: Generative AI prompt -- But also certain aspects of the story is also being dynamically generated and changes each time, although this is harder to discern what was authored and what was generative4th Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Monologues / subtitles Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Incredible loss and grief, and the malaise of that, allusions to the afterlife as it explores the theme of "loving someone for a long time, beyond absence" - Cyclical nature of time of the Chronos Time and Kairos Time, with 8p becoming a daily reminder of the loss. "October 29, 2022: 159 people did not return home from Itaewon. The hour stayed still." Artist Statement: "When a friend told me they didn't know how to live after losing the person they loved most, I didn't know what to say. How could I possibly grasp the depth of that grief? We don't even know what it truly means to overcome such sorrow. Maybe it means to keep longing for the one who's gone, to keep speaking to them, to let them stay alive inside us. This work was an attempt to hold onto that feeling — of loving someone for a long time, beyond absence." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ3HCloXspk This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.

I interviewed Daniel Ernst about The Great Orator on Sunday, August 31, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for The Great Orator: "Once a famous TV preacher, the Great Orator died at the height of her fame. Now, her consciousness lives on as an AI, allowing her influence to grow ceaselessly. Her followers can join her again in a shared consciousness, feeding her presence and creating a spiritual singularity. Always changing, shaped by the shared memories of her followers, and therefore unsure of who she truly is. The Great Orator is a nonlinear story world, where the visitor can freely explore and interact with his environment by pointing his hands at objects in the world, no matter how small or ordinary they may seem. Remember: interaction is a choice. The journey will take the visitor to several story spaces in her world: a Preserved House she left behind; a Mainframe storing her followers in a shared consciousness; and an infinite Parking Lot stretching out below, filled with the cars of her followers. Without the visitor, the Great Orator is everything — an infinite number of possible memories and identities — and therefore nothing at all. He chooses which of her stories are true, shaping his own perception of who or what the Great Orator is or was, or if she existed at all. He is family to her, perhaps even more. Each time he visits, her stories are different; the Great Orator is never the same." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Point and Click adventure [9] and cult [9] within a speculative future [9] where a powerful psychic [9] dies [8] and becomes immortal by uploading their consciousness into a computer [9]. Cult followers, also do this. So there are themes of the loss of individual identity [1] to join the collective [11] within this very specific set of belief systems [9] Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Environmental Storytelling and genre of VR Dioramas to create "perpetual environments around a specific emotional moment." Set in the distant future. Director calls audience: "Visitors who Visit" his work emphasizing the focus and emphasis on thesee virtual places. Uses post-modern architecture & liminality. A world to be explored in a sort of point and click adventure sort of way. You embodied as a ghostly aspirant ready to join the immortal spiritual cult.2nd Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: Exploration, point and click adventure. Also learn about the objects3rd Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Metadata around objects - AI Generated, collaborated with a poet -- Variations on poet's work - an "infinite" number of stories. There's also a bit of puzzling together of what this world is, and what exactly it is about. It's also a speculative, sci-fi world where conscisouness can be uploaded into computers. So what are the rules of this world? Big focus on liminal spaces and intermediate spaces that don't have explicit meaning absent a transitory context going from one place to another.4th Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: Not really narrative-driven. "I don't like to tell you a story. I like for you to visit the world, and the environments will tell a story." There are stories to be discovered, but much more ambient environmental storytelling. There is an AI that is scraping current news stories and injecting them into world, which gives it a bit of a surreal mirror on the current moment as it's set as more of a speculative world. There is also an ever changing quality that is amplified by the AI integrations adding a certain amount of variance. Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Power is expanded until a "spiritual singularity". Dissolves identity into a bit of a collective identity by uploading consciousness into a computer (likely not even possible and so more of a delusion). Also alludes to delusionary aspects of psychics, who are taken to the logical extreme of Institutionalization. What if nothing can stop the guru believes in themselves? Artist Statement: "The Great Orator feeds on your interaction, mixed with random Internet input and live news feeds. She mixes truths and fabulations in her storytelling, thus reflecting the misinformation and normalisation of falsehoods used to fit our narratives in today's world. It feels as though reality is what you make of it, and feelings outweigh facts. Emotional and superstitious rhetoric — once the domain of mediums — now drives public discourse. Those once brought down by scandals now seem immune. The Great Orator imagines a world where such influence has grown without limit. Turn on the news to see where we are. Experience the Great Orator to see where we're headed." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuknO0VzmmE This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

Today's episode of the Punk CX podcast features a chat I had with Sri Narasimhan, the VP of Enterprise Customer Experience and Insights at CVS Health, where he leads efforts to drive meaningful organisational changes based on customer, client, and patient feedback. We talk about a whitepaper that he recently co-authored with Simile CEO Joon Park on using generative agent simulations in health care, the problem they are solving with this new approach, whether that means they will no longer be doing research with ‘real' customers, how they have built their AI “agentic twins”, the impact of this approach and how their customers (patients) are responding to their use of AI. This interview follows on from my recent interview – Start with Strategy, Iterate Like a Band – Interview with Craig Crisler of SupportNinja – and is number 597 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.
Justine Moore, partner at Andreessen Horowitz, joins New Economies to explore the rapid evolution of generative media and why AI-native content is reaching an inflection point. They discuss the rise of AI micro-dramas, how creators are building entirely new forms of entertainment, and why the biggest opportunities may lie not in replacing Hollywood—but in expanding who gets to create. They also cover the future of creator tools, AI agents for individuals, generative video, AI "slop," the economics of AI-native studios, and where founders should be building next as consumer AI enters a new phase.

A new report has found generative AI is becoming part of everyday school life but more than half of teachers fear it's having a negative effect on students' critical thinking.
AI now hands the average worker 2.5 hours back every week. Most of us pour it straight into more busywork, then wonder why we are busier than ever.That reclaimed time is the most valuable thing AI has given us, and we are giving it away without deciding to.Bonnie Davis, co-author of Still Human with AI alongside Bijal Choksi, joins Ashish Kothari to talk about how to stop wasting it. Not with another productivity system, but by getting deliberate about what those freed-up hours are actually for: your wellbeing, your relationships, and the people you lead.Bonnie gives us a practical framework, and a step-by-step way to use it, for building a workplace where people flourish even as AI turns up everywhere. Her argument is that culture doesn't survive this shift by accident. Somebody has to shape it on purpose.What you'll learn:Decide what your reclaimed 2.5 hours are actually for, then put them on your calendar.Name the moments AI will never own, and ask your AI which ones.Write a human value proposition, not just an employee value propositionGive purpose a line of sight: carry the stories of who your work serves.Make learning a team sport.

We're joined by first-time guest Lacey W. Heinsberg, PhD, RN, on this week's episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast to examine many of the ethical considerations surrounding the widespread use of generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, etc.). Dr. Heinsberg is Assistant Professor of Health Promotion & Development in the School of Nursing, and of Human Genetics in the School of Public Health, at the University of Pittsburgh. She also serves as Co-Director of the Genomics of Patient Outcomes HUB in the School of Nursing. It feels difficult to opt out of using generative AI without there being serious consequences to our careers, yet as we learn in today's episode, it's a deeply personal choice whether to use it and how much to use it. Personal Code of Conduct Dr. Heinsberg created her own personal code of conduct about using generative AI and discussed this in the interview today. Some of its themes include: "Enhance it, don't replace it" and staying aligned with her own institution's AI use policy. There is almost a certain slippery slope facing us all when it comes to an overreliance on generative AI. Writing is thinking, so if AI is writing for us, are we thinking more deeply? Is this harming our critical thinking? "When does trust but verify become ‘why bother using it at all?", she said. Broaching Tough Questions No one has all the answers to this, but it is important to be discussing this with your teams and to embrace these tough questions. Other recurring themes in this episode include: Authenticity. Integrity. Transparency (and where the line is between ghostwriting and flat-out generation of unoriginal text). If you're not sure where to get started on your code of conduct policies, or if you have any other questions, you can reach out to her directly via email: law145@pitt.edu.

After 15 years in Silicon Valley, working with brands like Gap, Sephora, and Home Depot on their post-purchase e-commerce experience, he became an STR host - and immediately spotted a gap that his industry background made obvious. The tools that e-commerce businesses took for granted simply did not exist for vacation rental operators who wanted to build a direct booking website worth having. Crafted Stays is Gil's answer to that gap: a purpose-built direct booking platform that works the way a proper commerce site should, not as feature number 40 in a property management system's marketing materials. But what makes this conversation particularly timely is where Gil has taken the platform over the past year - deep into AI-powered search, website building, and the kind of content strategy that gets operators found in places Google's traditional search results simply can't reach. This episode covers direct booking strategy, how search is changing (and what SEO, AEO, and GEO actually mean for property managers), the Aria AI assistant Gil built into Crafted Stays, and how operators can start thinking about their online presence in a way that serves both guests and the AI systems that are increasingly mediating how people find places to stay. It's a practical, technically grounded conversation - and one that will stay relevant for some time. KEY TAKEAWAYS Direct booking websites built on WordPress and plugins were never designed for the live data demands of vacation rental commerce. Purpose-built platforms handle PMS connections, checkout, and mobile experience in a fundamentally different way. SEO, AEO, and GEO are three different things. Traditional search engine optimization gets you on page one of Google. Answer engine optimization gets you into the snippet at the top of the page. Generative engine optimization gets you cited when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude for a recommendation. Operators need to think about all three. AI-powered review analysis is an underused tool. Most operators check a five-star review and move on. Mining reviews for recurring themes - a screened porch that guests keep mentioning, a location detail that keeps coming up - surfaces the specific things guests value most, and those become the content anchors for the entire website. The Sightline Report that Aria generates combines property data, review sentiment, and third-party SEO keyword research to produce a strategic playbook for each operator. It tells them which keywords to target, which landing pages to build, and which guest personas to write toward - without requiring any marketing expertise from the operator. Building your AI business brain before you start using AI tools is not optional - it is foundational. Gil has been giving every new team member at Crafted Stays the same 40-page document about the business since he built it a year ago. The quality of AI output is directly tied to the quality of context you give it. The divide in AI adoption is getting wider, not narrower. Some operators are building sophisticated automated systems; others have barely touched ChatGPT. The window to build a real advantage by getting in early is still open, but it will not stay that way indefinitely. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the final episode of Season 16, Julia Wagemann speaks with Phil Cooper, Geospatial Global Tech BD for the Amazon Public Sector team, and Nadine Alameh, Founder of LunateAI and former CEO of the Open Geospatial Consortium. The conversation closes the GenAI for Geospatial Challenge takeover by looking beyond the individual prototypes and asking what this moment means for the wider geospatial industry. Phil reflects on the evolution of Earth observation from a time when researchers might spend months analysing a single satellite image to today's world of petabyte-scale data, cloud infrastructure and AI-enabled analysis. Generative and agentic AI are now helping organisations engage with geospatial data without needing years of specialist experience, opening the field to new industries, users and ideas. Nadine describes this as a moment in which anyone with a strong idea can begin turning it into a prototype, solution or business. She also reflects on the Challenge's role in demonstrating the art of the possible, lowering barriers and supporting teams working on meaningful problems across climate, health, oceans, infrastructure, insurance and spatial intelligence. The episode explores the patterns that emerged across the 14 winning teams. Unlike earlier experiments focused primarily on the technology itself, many of this year's projects were grounded in specific domain challenges, including methane monitoring, malaria planning, cocoa supply-chain transparency, marine intelligence, disaster risk and insurance. Phil and Nadine also discuss the rapid move from generative AI towards agentic systems, multimodal geospatial foundation models and natural-language interfaces. As these tools become more operational, the conversation turns to trust, data governance, standards, provenance and the need to help users understand where information comes from and how it has been processed. The episode also considers which sectors may adopt geospatial AI first, why energy and finance are already moving quickly, and how geospatial intelligence could become embedded into everyday decision-making across industries.

In this episode, I sit down with Brad Lewington, who spent seven years as CEO of Spencer Ogden, taking over the business when 80% of its revenue was tied to a collapsing oil & gas market and rebuilding it into a £121M-revenue business that sold to private equity 30 days before COVID hit.After stepping away in 2023, Brad started again from zero, launching Generative Group from Guildford with an offshore team in Cape Town built in from day one.We dig into the mistakes he made spreading his new business too thin across too many "islands" in year one, why he'd already given founders the exact advice he then ignored, and how refocusing on a single niche took Generative from £456K to £1.4M in net fee income.Connect with Brad here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradlewington/-------------------------Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rxPtMWtJGkg-------------------------Podcast Sponsors: Claim your exclusive savings from our partners with the links below:Sourcewhale - Check Out Sourcewhale & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.Atlas - Check Out Atlas & Claim Your Exclusive Offer HereRaise - Check Out Raise & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.-------------------------Want more content like this?The Wednesday Debrief is our free weekly newsletter for recruiters who take their craft seriously.

George disappeared from the internet for three years. When he came back, he found an entire Reddit thread: a community of people genuinely unsure if he was still alive. He had no idea it existed. And that's exactly the point. Your online reputation is working for you or against you right now. Whether you're watching it or not. John Horn is the CEO of StubGroup, a top Google Premier Partner agency that has generated over half a billion dollars in client revenue. In this conversation, he and George break down what online reputation actually is in 2026, how AI has permanently raised the stakes, and the simple actions every business owner can take today to make sure what people find online matches who they actually are. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why your online reputation is the first thing a prospect sees and why most owners have no idea what it looks like How AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are surfacing old reviews you forgot existed The 80/20 approach to managing your presence without spreading yourself thin Why responding to every review (good and bad) is one of the highest-ROI things you can do The "painting vs. garden" strategy for platforms you no longer actively use How to audit your curb appeal and what to fix first The ethical approach to paid ads that builds trust instead of eroding it Why the buying cycle is never linear and how to control what prospects find at every touchpoint Key Takeaways: ✔️Perception is reality. You can do the best work in the world, but if your online presence doesn't reflect it, prospects will never give you the chance to prove it. ✔️Google your own name, then Google your name plus "reviews." Be surprised. Then fix it. ✔️AI is surfacing reviews from 2014. Negative reviews you forgot about are being cited by ChatGPT and Gemini right now as part of prospect research. ✔️Respond to every review, especially the positive ones. Two minutes per review. Massive signal to prospects that you're human, present, and you care. ✔️Don't delete inactive social profiles, turn them into paintings. Update the bio, pin a redirect post, and let them quietly direct traffic where you actually exist. ✔️You don't have to be everywhere. Pick one platform to anchor your reviews. Monitor where Google surfaces everything else. Show up just enough to demonstrate you're alive. ✔️Ethical marketing means your online presence and your actual client experience are the same thing. Inconsistency is the trap. ✔️The buying journey is not linear. Someone may find your Facebook page at 10pm after a movie. What they see at that moment sets the tone.

In this episode, Stewart Alsop sits down with Aaron Lowry, founder of Circulatory Fidelity, to dig into some genuinely mind-bending territory — from Aaron's framework for measuring load-bearing dependencies between things, to the multi-agent AI lab he's built to do cross-domain scientific research, to the surprising parallels between entropy, ontology, and hand-wrapping a wiring harness on a vintage car. They also get into abductive reasoning, the problem of combinatorial explosion, why consensus is the secret engine of civilization, and what it actually means to build a system with an explicit ontology versus just winging it. Check out Aaron's work at circulatoryfidelity.com.Timestamps00:00 — Aaron explains his framework of abduction as a third mode of reasoning alongside induction and deduction, describing his approach as "cataloging shadows" of things we can observe but not yet define.05:00 — The conversation shifts to consensus mechanisms, measurement systems, and how shared definitions in language and commerce reduce friction in civilized society.10:00 — Stewart and Aaron discuss communication loss in human language, how close-knit groups develop lower-loss protocols, and the parallel to business relationships and trust.15:00 — Aaron breaks down Circulatory Fidelity as an algebraic measuring tool for load-bearing dependencies between things, connecting it to relevance realization and combinatorial explosion.20:00 — Aaron describes his multi-agent AI lab, including domain tiers, inter-domain translation using semiotics, and how he coined the term complexity to replace the ambiguous word "synergy."25:00 — Discussion of ontologies, Poincaré discs, and how Aaron's lab explicitly structures relational primacy versus reductionism through a theology agent and an adversary agent.30:00 — Aaron walks through how his agents manage circulatoryfidelity.com and how the adversary functions as a generative tension mechanism against overclaiming.35:00 — The episode closes on Aaron's work in vintage car restoration, tying craftsmanship, wiring harnesses, and the philosophy of participatory creation back to his broader research posture.Key InsightsAbductive reasoning is the overlooked third pillar alongside induction and deduction. Drawn from C.S. Peirce, it works with less firm structures — more intuitive, more shadow-tracking — and Aaron sees it as the right tool for discovering patterns that conventional scientific measurement tends to miss.Cheap factorization is powerful but dangerous. Most of reality can be broken into parts and measured accurately, but some things lose all their relevant information the moment you separate them. Knowing which is which is the whole game.Consensus is infrastructure. From a gram to a traffic light to a shared definition, civilization runs on agreed-upon measurements. The moment consensus breaks down — as the French discovered after their revolution — entire systems become unstable and costly to operate.Constraints are affordances. Entropy and gravity aren't just limitations — they're the ground on which everything is built. Aaron argues that persistent laws of nature are tools, and ignoring them doesn't make them go away, it just makes your model wrong.Ontology is always present, whether you name it or not. Every agent, every system, every framework has one built in. The question is only whether you've made it explicit and intentional — or left it implicit and unexamined.Generative tension is a design principle. Aaron built an adversary agent specifically to challenge overclaims in his lab, mirroring the way opposing forces in nature and tradition keep systems honest and prevent overfitting to comfortable conclusions.Creation is participatory. Whether wrapping a wiring harness for fifty hours or building an agent network, Aaron sees making things as an active, relational process — posture, attention, and intent are what turn potential into reality.
This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human. This week we learn from the feminist philosopher Donna Haraway about thinking beyond binaries, cultivating community and taking risks. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: “Thinking requires action and passion,” says feminist philosopher and scholar, Donna Haraway in this unique conversation. In her 1985 essay “A Cyborg Manifesto” and 2003 work, “The Companion Species Manifesto”, Haraway challenged patriarchal, capitalist, binary, species-ist ways of looking at the world. It's no surprise that people are looking to her work again now. Generative thinking, she tells Laura, requires “taking the risk to try a new pattern; to invent something that may very well fall apart in your collective hands but leaves threads to be picked up again.” In this episode, Haraway and Flanders sit down for an expansive conversation about what it means to be human in an age of AI and resisting what she calls authoritarian “mono-thought.” Plus, a commentary from Laura on staying in the present and “staying with the trouble.” “An individual is embedded deeply in worlds with other people, with other organisms, with living and non-living parts of the world. To be a self is to come to a thicker appreciation and accountability for the way we're embedded in the world and act in the world. That's what I mean by being a proper self.” - Donna Haraway Guests: Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California Santa Cruz, History of Consciousness Department; Author, A Cyborg Manifesto, When Species Meet, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Generative AI has been creating race-based content, and the results are...uncomfortable.Brittany's been getting served a lot of AI generated videos of older Asian men, who seem to be feng shui experts of some kind, espousing the benefits of having a “lazy wife” in your household. But it doesn't stop there. Today's guest, Bridget Todd, host of There Are No Girls on the Internet and author of the audiobook, Love at First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy, has been ringing the alarm about AI generated videos featuring Black women. Some are AI slop, while others perpetuate harmful stereotypes about Black women -- and there's a market for it.Bridget joins the show to get into how generative AI has skewed perceptions around race, gender, and privilege online.Bridget's first audiobook, Love at First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy, is available for pre-order now from LoveAtFirstPrompt.AI and comes out July 14th from Simon & Schuster.
