[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s get a little bombastic and say, Katie, we’re gonna double everyone’s non-existent ROI on AI with the most unused—underused—feature that literally I’ve not seen anyone doing, and that is manuals on demand. A little while ago, in our AI for Market Gender VI use cases for marketers course and our mastering prompt engine for Marketers course and things like that, we were having a conversation internally with our team saying, hey, what else can we be doing to market these courses? One of the things that occurred to me as I was scrolling around our Thinkific system we used is there’s a lot of buttons in here. I don’t know what most of them do, and I wonder if I’m missing something. Christopher S. Penn – 00:53 So, I commissioned a Deep Research report in Gemini saying, hey, this is the version of Thinkific we’re on. This is the plan we’re on. Go do research on the different ways that expert course creators market their courses with the features in Thinkific. It came back with a 28-page report that we then handed off to Kelsey on our team to say, hey, go read this report and see, because it contains step-by-step instructions for things that we could be doing in the system to upsell and cross-sell our courses. As I was thinking about it, going, wow, we should be doing this more often. Christopher S. Penn – 01:28 Then a friend of mine just got a new phone, a Google Pixel phone, and is not skilled at using Google’s all the bells and whistles, but she has a very specific use case: she wants to record concert videos with it. So I said, okay, let’s create a manual for just what features of the Pixel phone are best for concerts. Create a step-by-step explanation for a non-technical user on how to get the most out of the new phone. This gets me thinking across the board with all these things that we’re already paying for: why aren’t more of us creating manuals to say, hey, rather than go buy yet another tool or piece of software, ask one of the great research agents, hey, what are we not using that we should be. Katie Robbert – 02:15 So, it sounds like a couple of different things. There’s because you’re asking the question, what are we not using that we could be, but then there’s an instruction manual. Those are kind of two different things. An instruction manual is meant to be that A to Z, here’s everything it does, versus what are we specifically not using. I feel like those are two different asks. So, I guess my first question to you is, doesn’t most software come with some kind of an instruction manual or user guide these days? Or is that just, it no longer does that. Christopher S. Penn – 02:52 It does. There’s usually extensive documentation. I misspoke. I should have said manuals on demand specifically for the thing that you want. So yes, there’s a big old binder. If you were to print out the HubSpot CRM documentation, it’d be a 900-page document. No one’s going to read that. But I could use a Deep Research tool to say, how can I use just this feature more effectively? Given here’s who Trust Insights is, here’s how our marketing was. Here’s the other tools we use. How could I use this part of HubSpot better? Instead of getting all 900 pages of the manual, I get a manual of just that thing. That’s where I think, at least for me personally, the opportunity is for stuff that we’re already paying for. Christopher S. Penn – 03:32 Why pay for yet another tool and complicate the Martech stack even more when there might be a feature that we’re already paying for that we just don’t even know is there. Katie Robbert – 03:45 It, I feel like, goes to a couple of things. One, the awareness of what you already have in front of you. So, we’re a smaller company, and so we have a really good handle on all of the tools in our tech stack. So, we have the luxury of being able to say these are the goals that we have for the business. Therefore, what can—how can we use what we already have? Whereas if you’re in a more enterprise-sized company or even a mid-sized company where things are a little bit more siloed off, that’s where those teams get into the, “well, I need to buy something to solve this problem.” Katie Robbert – 04:23 Even though the guy on the other side of the cubicle has the tech that I need because of the firewall that exists or is virtual, I can’t use it. So, I have to go buy something. And so, I feel like—I don’t know—I feel like “manual” is the wrong word. It sounds like what you’re hitting on is, “this is my ICP”, but maybe it’s a different version of an ICP. So, what we typically—how we structure ICPs—is how we can market to and sell to specific prospective customers based on their demographics, technographics, pain points, buying patterns, the indicators that a digital transformation is coming, those kinds of things. Katie Robbert – 05:09 It sounds like there’s a need for a different version of an ICP that has a very specific pain point tied to a specific piece of technology or a marketing campaign or something like that. I feel like that would be a good starting place. It kind of always starts with the five Ps: What is the problem you’re trying to solve? Who are the people? What is the process that you currently have or are looking to do? What is the platform that you have in front of you? And then what is your performance metric? I feel like that’s a good starting place to structure this thinking because I’m following what you’re saying, Chris, but it still feels very big and vague. So, what I’m trying to do is think through how do I break it down into something more consumable. Katie Robbert – 05:56 So for me, that always kind of starts with the five Ps. So, what you’re describing, for example, is the purpose: we want to market our courses more efficiently through our Thinkific system. The people are Kelsey, who leads a lot of that, you as the person who owns the system, and then our ICP, who’s going to buy the courses. Process: That’s what we’re trying to figure out is what are we missing. Platform: We already know it’s our Thinkific, but also the different marketing channels that we have. Performance would be increased core sales. Is that an accurate description of what you’re trying to do? Christopher S. Penn – 06:42 It is. To refine the purpose even more, it’s, “what three features could we be using better?” So, I might even go in. In the process part, I might say, hey, I’m going to turn on a screen share and record my screen as I click through our Thinkific platform and hand that to a tool like Gemini and say, “what am I not using?” I don’t use a section, I use this section. Here’s what I’ve got in this section. I don’t know what this button does. And having it almost do an audit for us of, “yeah, there’s that whole bundle order bundles thing section here that you have no bundles in there.” Christopher S. Penn – 07:20 But you could be creating bundles of your courses and selling a pack of courses and materials, or making deluxe versions, or making pre-registration versions. Whatever the thing is, another simple example would be if we follow the five Ps, Katie: you’ve got a comprehensive outline of the AI-Ready Marketing Strategy Kit Course slide deck in a doc. Your purpose is, “I want to get this slide deck done, but I don’t want to do it slide by slide.” You’re the people. The process right now is manually creating all 100x slides. The platform is Google Slides. The performance would be—if we could find a way to automate that somehow with Google Slides—the huge amount of time saved and possibly your sanity. Katie Robbert – 08:13 Put a price on that one. Christopher S. Penn – 08:16 Yeah. So, the question would be, “what are we missing?” What features are already there that we’re already paying for in our Google Workspace subscription that we could use now? We actually did this as an exercise ourselves. We found that, oh yeah, there’s Apps Script. It exists, and you can write code right in Google Slides. That would be another example, a very concrete example, of could we have a Deep Research agent take this specific problem, take the five Ps, and build us a manual on demand of just how to accomplish this task with the thing we’re already doing. Katie Robbert – 08:56 So, a couple more questions. One, why Deep Research and why not just a regular LLM like ChatGPT or just Gemini? Why the Deep Research specifically? And, let’s start there. Christopher S. Penn – 09:14 Okay, why? The Deep Research is because it’s a research agent. It goes out, it finds a bunch of sources, reads the sources, applies our filtering criteria to those sources, and then compiles and synthesizes a report together. We call, it’s called a research agent, but really all it is, is an AI agent. So, you can give very specific instructions like, “write me a step-by-step manual for doing this thing, include samples of code,” and it will do those things well with lower hallucinations than just asking a regular model. It will produce the report exactly the way you want it. So, I might say, “I want a report to do exactly this.” Katie Robbert – 09:50 So, you’re saying that Deep Research hallucinates less than a regular LLM model. But, in theory—I’m just trying to understand all the pieces—you could ask a standard LLM model like Claude or Gemini or ChatGPT, go find all the best sources and write me a report, a manual if you will, on how to do this thing step-by-step. You could do that. I’m trying to understand why a Deep Research model is better than just doing that, because I don’t think a lot of people are using Deep Research. For you, what I know at least in the past month or so is that’s your default: let me go do a Deep Research report first. Not everybody functions that way. So, I’m just trying to understand why that should be done first. Christopher S. Penn – 10:45 In this context, it’s getting the right sources. So, when you use a general LLM, it may or may not—unless you are super specific. Actually, this is true of everything. You have to be super specific as to what sources you want the model to consider. The difference is, with Deep Research, it uses the sources first, whereas in a regular model, it may be using its background information first rather than triggering a web search. Because web search is a tool use, and that’s extra compute that costs extra for the LLM provider. When you use Deep Research, you’re saying you must go out and get these sources. Do not rely on your internal data. You have to go out and find these sources. Christopher S. Penn – 11:27 So for example, when I say, hey, I’m curious about the effects of fiber supplements, I would say you must only use sources that have DOI numbers, which is Document Object Indicator. It’s a number that’s assigned only after a paper has passed peer review. By saying that, we reject all the sources like, oh, Aunt Esther’s healing crystals blog. So, there’s probably not as much useful information there as there is in, say, something from The New England Journal of Medicine, which, its articles are peer-reviewed. So, that’s why I default to Deep Research, because I can be. When I look at the results, I am much more confident in them because I look at the sources it produces and sites and says, “this is what I asked for.” Christopher S. Penn – 12:14 When I was doing this for a client not too long ago, I said, “build me a step-by-step set of instructions, a custom manual, to solve and troubleshoot this one problem they were having in their particular piece of software.” It did a phenomenal job. It did such a good job that I followed its instructions step-by-step and uncovered 48 things wrong in the client software. It was exactly right because I said you must only use the vendor’s documentation or other qualified sources. You may not use randos on Reddit or Twitter, or whatever we’re calling Twitter these days. That gave me even specifying it has to be this version of the software. So, for my friend, I said, “it has to be only sources that are about the Google Pixel 8 Pro.” Christopher S. Penn – 13:03 Because that’s the model of phone she has. Don’t give me stuff about Pixel 9, don’t give me stuff about Samsung phones. Don’t give me stuff about iPhones, only this phone. The Deep Research agents, when they go out and they do their thing, reject stuff as part of the process of saying, “oh, I’ve checked this source and it doesn’t meet the criteria, out it goes.” Katie Robbert – 13:27 So, all right, so back to your question of why aren’t people building these instruction manuals? This is something. I mean, this is part of what we talk about with our ICPs: a lot of people don’t know what the problem is. So, they know that something’s not quite right, or they know that something is making them frustrated or uncomfortable, but that’s about where it stops. Oftentimes your emotions are not directly tied to what the actual physical problem is. So, I feel like that’s probably why more people aren’t doing what you’re specifying. So, for example, if we take the Thinkific example, if we were in a larger company, the conversation might look more like the CFO saying, “hey, we need more core sales.” Katie Robbert – 14:27 Rather than looking at the systems that we have to make promotion more efficient, your marketing team is probably going to scramble and be like, “oh, we need to come up with six more campaigns.” Then go to our experts and say, “you need four new versions of the course,” or “we need updates.” So, it would be a spiral. What’s interesting is how you get from “we want more course revenue” to “let me create a manual about the system that we’re using.” I feel like that’s the disconnect, because that’s not. It’s a logical step. It’s not an emotionally logical step. When people are like, “we need to make more money,” they don’t go, “well, how can we do more with the systems that we have?” Christopher S. Penn – 15:31 It’s interesting because it actually came out of something you were saying just before we started this podcast, which was how tired you are of everybody ranting about AI on LinkedIn. And just all the looniness there and people yelling the ROI of AI. We talked about this in last week’s episode. If you’re not mentioning the ROI of what you’re doing beforehand, AI is certainly not going to help you with that, but it got me thinking. ROI is a financial measure: earn minus spent divided by spent. That’s the formula. If you want to improve ROI, one of the ways you can do so is by spending less. Christopher S. Penn – 16:07 So, the logical jump that I made in terms of this whole Deep Research approach to custom-built manuals for specific problems is to say, “what if I don’t need to add more vendors? What if I don’t need?” This is something that has come up a lot in the Q&A, particularly for your session at the AI for B2B Summit. Someone said, “how many MarTech tools do we need? How many AI tools do we need? Our stack is already so full.” “Yeah, but are you using what you’ve already got really well?” And the answer to that is almost always no. I mean, it’s no for me, and I’m a reasonably technical person. Christopher S. Penn – 16:43 So, my thinking along those lines was, then if we’re not getting the most out of what we’re already paying for, could we spend less by not adding more bills every month and earn more by using the features that are already there that maybe we just don’t know how to use? So, that’s how I make that leap: to think about, go from the problem and being on a fire to saying, “okay, if ROI is what we actually do care about in this case, how do we earn more and spend less? How do we use more of what we already have?” Hence, now make custom manuals for the problems that we have. A real simple example: when we were upgrading our marketing automation software two or three weeks ago, I ran into this ridiculous problem in migration. Christopher S. Penn – 17:28 So, my first instinct was I could spend two and a half hours googling for it, or I could commission a Deep Research report with all the data that I have and say, “you tell me how to troubleshoot this problem.” It did. I was done in 15 minutes. Katie Robbert – 17:42 So, I feel like it’s a good opportunity. If you haven’t already gotten your Trust Insights AI-Ready Marketing Strategy Kit, templates and frameworks for measurable success, definitely get it. You can get it at Trust Insights AIkit. The reason I bring it up, for free—yes, for free—the course is in the works. The course will not be free. The reason I bring it up is because there are a couple of templates in this AI readiness kit that are relevant to the conversation that Chris and I are having today. So, one is the basic AI ROI projection calculator, which is, it’s basic, but it’s also fairly extensive because it goes through a lot of key points that you would want to factor into an ROI calculation. Katie Robbert – 18:31 But to Chris’s point, if you’re not calculating ROI now, calculating it out for what you’re going to save—how are you going to know that? So, that’s part one. The other thing that I think would be really helpful, that is along the lines of what you’re saying, Chris, is the Top Questions for AI Marketing Vendors Cheat Sheet. Ideally, it’s used to vet new vendors if you’re trying to bring on more software. But I also want to encourage people to look at it and use it as a way to audit what you already have. So, ask yourself the questions that you would be asking prospective vendors: “do we have this?” Because it really challenges you to think through, “what are the problems I’m trying to solve? Who’s going to use it?” Katie Robbert – 19:17 What about data privacy? What about data transformation? All of those things. It’s an opportunity to go, “do we already have this? Is this something that we’ve had all this time that we’re, to your point, Chris, that we’re paying for, that we’re just not using?” So, I would definitely encourage people to use the frameworks in that kit to audit your existing stuff. I mean, that’s really what it’s meant to do. It’s meant to give you a baseline of where you’re at and then how to get to the next step. Sometimes it doesn’t involve bringing on new stuff. Sometimes it’s working with exactly what you have. It makes me think of people who start new fitness things on January 1st. This is a very specific example. Katie Robbert – 20:06 So, on January 1st, we’re re-energized. We have our new goals, we have our resolutions, but in order to meet those goals, we also need new wardrobes, and we need new equipment, and we need new foods and supplements, and all kinds of expensive things. But if you really take a step back and say, “I want to start exercising,” guess what? Go walk outside. If it’s not nice outside, do laps around your house. You can do push-ups off your floor. If you can’t do a push-up, you can do a wall push-up. You don’t need anything net new. You don’t need to be wearing fancy workout gear. That’s actually not going to make you work out any better. It might be a more mental thing, a confidence thing. Katie Robbert – 20:54 But in all practicality, it’s not going to change a damn thing. You still have to do the work. So, if I’m going to show up in my ripped T-shirt and my shorts that I’ve been wearing since college, I’m likely going to get the same health benefits if I spent $5,500 on really flimsy-made Lululemon crap. Christopher S. Penn – 21:17 I think that right there answers your question about why people don’t make that leap to build a custom manual to solve your problems. Because when you do that, you kind of take away the excuses. You no longer have an excuse. If you don’t need fancy fitness equipment and a gym membership and you’re saying, “I can just get fit within my own house with what I’m doing,” then I’m out of excuses. Katie Robbert – 21:43 But I think that’s a really interesting angle to take with it: by actually doing the work and getting the answers to the questions. You’re absolutely right. You’re out of excuses. To be fair, that’s a lot of what the AI kit is meant to do: to get rid of the excuses, but not so much the excuses if we can’t do it, but those barriers to why you don’t think you can move forward. So, if your leadership team is saying, “we have to do this now,” this kit has all the tools that you need to help you do this now. But in the example that you’re giving, Chris, of, “I have this thing, I don’t know how to use it, it must not be the right thing.” Let me go ahead and get something else that’s shinier and promises to solve the problem. Katie Robbert – 22:29 Well, now you’re spending money, so why not go back to your point: do the Deep Research, figure out, “can I solve the problem with what I have?” The answer might still be no. Then at least you’ve said, “okay, I’ve tried, I’ve done my due diligence, now I can move on and find something that does solve the problem.” I do like that way of thinking about it: it takes away the excuses. Christopher S. Penn – 22:52 Yeah, it takes away excuses. That’s uncomfortable. Particularly if there are some people—it’s not none of us, but some people—who use that as a way to just not do work. Katie Robbert – 23:05 You know who you are. Christopher S. Penn – 23:07 You know who you are. You’re not listening to this podcast because. Katie Robbert – 23:10 Only motivated people—they don’t know who they are. They think they’re doing a lot of work. Yes, but that’s a topic for another day. But that’s exactly it. There’s a lot of just spinning and spinning and spinning. And there’s this—I don’t know exactly what to call it—perception, that the faster you’re spinning, the more productive you are. Christopher S. Penn – 23:32 That’s. The more busy you are, the more meetings you attend, the more important you are. No, that’s just. Katie Robbert – 23:38 Nope, that is actually not how that works. But, yeah, no, I think that’s an interesting way to think about it, because we started this episode and I was skeptical of why are you doing it this way? But now talking it through, I’m like, “oh, that does make sense.” It does. It takes away the excuses of, “I can’t do it” or “I don’t have what I need to do it.” And the answer is, “yeah, you do.” Christopher S. Penn – 24:04 Yep. Yeah, we do. These tools make it easier than ever to have a plan, because I know there are some people, and outside of my area’s expertise, I’m one of these people. I just want to be told what to do. Okay, you’re telling me to go bake some bread. I don’t know how to do that. Just tell me the steps to give me a recipe so I can follow it so I don’t screw it up and waste materials or waste time. Yeah. Now once I had, “okay, if I something I want to do,” then I do it. If it’s something I don’t want to do, then now I’m out of excuses. Katie Robbert – 24:40 I don’t know. I mean, for those of you listening, you couldn’t see the look on my face when Chris said, “I just want to be told what to do.” I was like, “since when?” Outside of. Christopher S. Penn – 24:50 “My area of expertise” is the key phrase there. Katie Robbert – 24:56 I sort of. I call that my alpha and beta brain. So, at work, I have the alpha brain where I’m in charge. I set the course, and I’m the one who does the telling. But then there are those instances, when I go volunteer at the shelter, I shut off my alpha brain, and I’m like, “just tell me what to do.” This is not my. I am just here to help to sandwich, too. So, I totally understand that. I’m mostly just picking on you because it’s fun. Christopher S. Penn – 25:21 And it’s Monday morning. Katie Robbert – 25:23 All right, sort of wrapping up. It sounds like there’s a really good use case for using Deep Research on the technology you already have. Here’s the thing. You may not have a specific problem right now, but it’s probably not the worst idea to take a look at your tech stack and do some Deep Research reports on all of your different tools. Be like, “what does this do?” “Here’s our overall sales and marketing goals, here’s our overall business goals, and here’s the technology we have.” “Does it match up? Is there a big gap?” “What are we missing?” That’s not a bad exercise to do, especially as you think about now that we’re past the halfway point of the year. People are already thinking about annual planning for 2026. That’s a good exercise to do. Christopher S. Penn – 26:12 It is. Maybe we should do that on a future live stream. Let’s audit, for example, our Modic marketing automation software. We use it. I know, for example, the campaign section with the little flow builder. We don’t use that at all. And I know there’s value in there. It’s that feature in HubSpot’s, an extra $800 a month. We have it for free in Modic, and we don’t use it. So, I think maybe some of us. Katie Robbert – 26:37 Have asked that it be used multiple times. Christopher S. Penn – 26:42 So now, let’s make a manual for a specific campaign using what we know to do that so we can do that on an upcoming live stream. Katie Robbert – 26:52 Okay. All right. If you’ve got some—I said okay, cool. Christopher S.

Significant Data Breaches and VulnerabilitiesMcDonald's AI-driven hiring platform, Olivia (by Paradox.ai), exposed 64 million applicant records due to weak security, including a password as simple as "123456." In Sweden, security personnel inadvertently revealed Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's whereabouts by sharing fitness routes on Strava. Qantas suffered a breach affecting 5.7 million customers, with personal details like addresses and phone numbers exposed via a third-party platform compromised by the Scattered Spider group. These cases demonstrate the risks of inadequate security in automated systems and third-party integrations.Skepticism Around Jack Dorsey's Bitchat AppJack Dorsey's Bitchat, a decentralized messaging app using Bluetooth and end-to-end encryption, faces skepticism due to its lack of external security audits. Researchers identified flaws, such as a broken identity verification system enabling impersonation. Dorsey's warnings on GitHub advise against using the app until properly vetted, raising concerns about premature launches of privacy-focused tools.“Contagious Interview” AI-Powered ScamThe “Contagious Interview” scam, linked to North Korean hackers, targets job-seekers on platforms like LinkedIn. Posing as recruiters from fake companies (e.g., BlockNovas LLC), hackers use AI-generated personas and fake profiles to trick victims into installing malware disguised as interview tools. This malware, including BeaverTail and InvisibleFerret, steals passwords and cryptocurrency data, showing the potent combination of AI and social engineering in cybercrime.Quantum Computing Threat to EncryptionQuantum computing's rise threatens current encryption methods like RSA and ECC, posing risks to data security in industries like finance and healthcare. Experts recommend adopting post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by inventorying encryption-reliant systems, requiring vendors to provide PQC migration plans, and updating firmware to quantum-resistant signatures to protect against future decryption threats.OpenAI's Challenge to Productivity SoftwareOpenAI is poised to disrupt Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace with an AI-powered productivity suite. Leveraging generative AI, it offers collaborative writing, editing, brainstorming, and graphics assistance, potentially at a lower cost than Microsoft's Copilot. This move signals a shift toward AI-driven productivity tools, challenging established market leaders.xAI API Key LeakA DOGE employee, Marko Elez, accidentally exposed an xAI API key on GitHub, granting access to over 52 AI models, including grok-4-0709. Elez's role in DOGE, with access to sensitive U.S. government data, amplifies the risk. The unrevoked key and prior DOGE leaks suggest systemic security negligence, endangering AI models and government data.Cybersecurity TakeawaysThese incidents emphasize the need for robust cybersecurity in automated systems, thorough vetting of third-party platforms, caution with digital footprints (e.g., fitness apps), and external security reviews for new apps. Vigilance against AI-driven scams is critical, with users urged to verify sources and software.Broader Cyber Threat TrendsThe reliance on vulnerable third-party platforms, sophisticated AI-powered social engineering, internal security lapses, and the looming quantum computing threat demonstrate the need for proactive, future-proof cybersecurity strategies to safeguard sensitive data and systems.

Welcome to Sridhar's newsletter & Podcast (Click Play button for Audio version of the Post). Appreciate you being here, so we can connect weekly on interesting topics. Add your email id here to get this directly to your inbox.Do subscribe to show Minimalist Techie over Apple Or Spotify Or YouTube podcast (Click on Hyperlinks for Apple Or on Spotify Or on YouTube) or hear it over email you received through my subscription or on my website.This weekly newsletter is mostly about the article, books, videos etc. I read or watch or my views on different topics which revolves around my head during the week.Point discussed in this Podcast,Microsoft: The Quiet Giant's ResurgenceKey Growth Drivers:* Cloud Dominance with Azure * Enterprise Software Powerhouse * Strategic Acquisitions: Acquisitions like LinkedIn and, more recently, the massive acquisition of Activision Blizzard, have diversified Microsoft's revenue streams and expanded its reach into new sectors like professional networking and gaming. The gaming division, encompassing Xbox and Game Pass, is a significant part of its ecosystem.* Early AI Integration: Microsoft was quick to invest heavily in AI, particularly through its partnership with OpenAI. This foresight allowed them to rapidly integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities into their existing product suite, from Azure AI services for developers to AI-powered features in Office (like Copilot) and Windows. This early move positioned them as a leader in the generative AI race, attracting new enterprise clients eager to leverage these new tools.This consistent execution and strategic vision have been key to Microsoft's impressive stock performance and market capitalization growth over the past half-decade. They've effectively shed any lingering perceptions of being a "legacy tech" company and firmly cemented their position as an innovation leader.Google (Alphabet): AI's Grand Ambition and Search's EvolutionAI's Ascendance with Gemini:* Catching Up Fast: While some might argue Google started a bit later in the generative AI race compared to certain competitors, their speed of development and integration with Gemini AI has been truly remarkable. Gemini is now a seriously impressive large language model, and its capabilities are expanding rapidly.* Unmatched Reach for AI Integration: What gives Google an almost unfair advantage is its massive market share and user base across its core products. Think about it: Google Search, Android, Chrome, YouTube, Google Workspace – these are platforms used by billions. Integrating AI, specifically Gemini, into these widely adopted products means AI features can reach an unprecedented number of people quickly and seamlessly. This integration isn't just about search; it's about enhancing productivity in Docs, creating content in YouTube, and smart features across Android devices.The Search Conundrum and AI's Role:* Search Revenue Dominance: Google Search has historically been, and remains, the primary engine of Alphabet's revenue, primarily through advertising. The concern for some analysts has been that as users increasingly turn to AI chatbots for answers, the traditional "blue link" search model might see reduced engagement, potentially impacting ad revenue.* The AI Mode and Future of Search: However, Google isn't sitting still. They've already integrated "AI Overviews" (or "AI mode") directly into Google Search results, providing synthesized answers directly. The challenge, and the opportunity, is to evolve Search in a way that provides instant, AI-powered information while still maintaining a valuable advertising ecosystem. If Google can swiftly adapt its advertising models to this new AI-first search paradigm, their extensive reach could turn this potential threat into a massive growth driver. The rapid progress with Gemini suggests they are indeed acting quickly to address this.* Cloud Growth (Google Cloud Platform): Similar to Microsoft and Amazon, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a significant and growing part of Alphabet's business, competing for enterprise cloud workloads and contributing to diversification beyond advertising.So, while there are always questions around how AI will reshape traditional revenue streams, Google's aggressive AI development with Gemini and its unparalleled user base position it strongly for future innovation and monetization.Amazon: E-commerce King and Cloud PowerhouseMoving on to Amazon, a company that, like the others, continues to perform exceptionally well. Amazon is a fascinating duality: it's the undisputed king of e-commerce, but also a dominant force in cloud computing.E-commerce Resilience:* Consumer Spending: Despite economic fluctuations, Amazon's e-commerce platform continues to thrive. It benefits from habitual consumer behavior, its vast selection, competitive pricing, and unparalleled logistics network (Prime shipping being a huge draw).* Advertising Growth: Increasingly, Amazon's e-commerce platform is also a major advertising hub, allowing brands to reach consumers directly at the point of purchase. This is a high-margin business that continues to grow rapidly.Amazon Web Services (AWS) - The Profit Engine:* Cloud Market Leader: AWS remains the global leader in cloud infrastructure services. Its reliability, extensive suite of services, and deep integration with countless businesses make it incredibly sticky. AWS consistently accounts for a disproportionate share of Amazon's overall profitability, subsidizing and fueling other ventures.* AI for Enterprise: AWS is also a key player in providing AI tools and infrastructure for businesses. From foundational models to machine learning services, AWS enables countless companies to build and deploy their own AI solutions, ensuring Amazon's role in the AI revolution extends far beyond its own consumer products.New Ventures:* Logistics and Delivery Network: Amazon's continuous investment in its own logistics infrastructure gives it a massive competitive advantage, enabling faster and more reliable deliveries.* Healthcare (Amazon Pharmacy, One Medical): Amazon continues to make inroads into the healthcare sector, leveraging its logistical prowess and customer-centric approach to disrupt traditional models.* Entertainment (Prime Video, Amazon Music): These services enhance the Prime subscription value, creating a sticky ecosystem that keeps users engaged within Amazon's orbit.Amazon's strength lies in its ability to innovate and expand into new sectors while maintaining dominance in its core businesses. Its cloud services provide a robust financial backbone, allowing it to take calculated risks and continue its relentless pursuit of market expansion.Each of these companies faces unique challenges and possesses distinct advantages. But what's clear is their relentless pursuit of innovation, their massive scale, and their profound impact on how we live and work. Watching their strategies unfold, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence and new computing paradigms, will be fascinating in the years to come.That is all for this week.

The 2025 generative AI image market is a trade-off between aesthetic quality, instruction-following, and user control. This episode analyzes the key platforms, comparing Midjourney's artistic output against the superior text generation and prompt adherence of GPT-4o and Imagen 4, the commercial safety of Adobe Firefly, and the total customization of Stable Diffusion. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-25 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Build the future of multi-agent software with AGNTCY. The State of the Market The market is split by three core philosophies: The "Artist" (Midjourney): Prioritizes aesthetic excellence and cinematic output, sacrificing precise user control and instruction following. The "Collaborator" (GPT-4o, Imagen 4): Extensions of LLMs that excel at conversational co-creation, complex instruction following, and integration into productivity workflows. The "Sovereign Toolkit" (Stable Diffusion): An open-source engine offering users unparalleled control, customization, and privacy in exchange for technical engagement.

Features: Web UI with Draft Mode, user personalization, emerging video/3D. Weaknesses: Poor text generation, poor prompt adherence, public images on cheap plans, no API/bans automation. OpenAI GPT-4o: An intelligent co-creator for controlled generation. Features: Conversational refinement, superior text rendering, understands uploaded image context. Weaknesses: Slower than competitors, generates one image at a time, strict content filters. Google Imagen 4: Pragmatic tool focused on speed and ecosystem integration. Features: High-quality photorealism, fast generation, strong text rendering, multilingual. Weaknesses: Less artistic flair; value is dependent on Google ecosystem investment. Stable Diffusion 3: Open-source engine for maximum user control. Features: MMDiT architecture improves prompt/text handling, scalable models, vast ecosystem (LoRAs/ControlNet). Weaknesses: Steep learning curve, quality is user-dependent. Adobe Firefly: Focused on commercial safety and professional workflow integration. Features: Trained on Adobe Stock for legal indemnity, Generative Fill/Expand tools. Weaknesses: Creative range limited by training data, requires Adobe subscription/credits. Tools and Concepts In-painting: Modifying a masked area inside an image. Out-painting: Extending an image beyond its original borders. LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation): A small file that applies a fine-tuned style, character, or concept to a base model. ControlNet: Uses a reference image (e.g., pose, sketch) to enforce the composition, structure, or pose of the output. A1111 vs. ComfyUI: Two main UIs for Stable Diffusion. A1111 is a beginner-friendly tabbed interface; ComfyUI is a node-based interface for complex, efficient, and automated workflows. Workflows "Best of Both Worlds": Generate aesthetic base images in Midjourney, then composite, edit, and add text with precision in Photoshop/Firefly. Single-Ecosystem: Work entirely within Adobe Creative Cloud or Google Workspace for seamless integration, commercial safety (Adobe), and convenience (Google). "Build Your Own Factory": Use ComfyUI to build automated, multi-step pipelines for consistent character generation, advanced upscaling, and video. Decision Framework Choose by Goal: Fine Art/Concept Art: Midjourney. Logos/Ads with Text: GPT-4o, Google Imagen 4, or specialist Ideogram. Consistent Character in Specific Pose: Stable Diffusion with a Character LoRA and ControlNet (OpenPose). Editing/Expanding an Existing Photo: Adobe Photoshop with Firefly. Exclusion Rules: If you need legible text, exclude Midjourney. If you need absolute privacy or zero cost (post-hardware), Stable Diffusion is the only option. If you need guaranteed commercial legal safety, use Adobe Firefly. If you need an API for a product, use OpenAI or Google; automating Midjourney is a bannable offense.

The EU cloud exit movement is reshaping how European organizations think about data storage and sovereignty. Companies across Europe are moving away from US-based cloud providers like Microsoft 365, AWS, and Google Workspace due to concerns about the Cloud Act and data privacy regulations.In this episode, Curtis and Prasanna explore the backup implications of this major shift. They discuss the challenges of replacing comprehensive platforms like Microsoft 365 with multiple EU-based providers, the complexities of bringing services back in-house, and why the 3-2-1 backup rule becomes even more critical during these transitions.Whether organizations choose local providers or decide to self-host their infrastructure, data protection remains paramount. The hosts share real-world examples of failed backup strategies, including the Rackspace Exchange disaster and OVH's data center fire, to illustrate why third-party backup solutions are necessary regardless of your hosting choice.

Indy Sen, ecosystem marketing lead at Canva, shares his journey through tech giants like Salesforce, Box, MuleSoft, Google, and now Canva, where he's applying his unique "messaging as an API" philosophy to build an ecosystem that serves as a powerful multiplier for the entire company.• Canva's mission of empowering the world to design has evolved from consumer beginnings to enterprise solutions• The ecosystem functions as a multiplier, helping source innovations from third-party developers and technology partners• Growth from zero to approximately 700 apps in just two years demonstrates the platform's appeal as a distribution mechanism• Design principles encourage developers to create experiences that can be completed in no more than five steps• The human connection will remain the ultimate competitive advantage even as AI transforms technology• Technical enablement must be paired with commercial enablement for ecosystem success• Creating psychological safety enables teams to work at their highest point of contribution• Zen leadership balances strategic thinking with empowering teams to navigate ambiguity• Building trust requires making decisions rather than prolonging indecision• Small acts of kindness cost nothing but are remembered far longer than professional achievementsWhat makes a technology ecosystem thrive in today's rapidly evolving landscape? For Indy Sen, the answer lies at the intersection of technical excellence and human connection.At the heart of his philosophy is what he calls "messaging as an API"—treating company messaging like clean, well-structured code that can be consistently deployed across an organization. This approach has proven incredibly effective in creating clarity around ecosystem value, both internally and externally. As Indy explains, "Ecosystem is a multiplier. It helps engender brand new innovations, source them from third-party innovators like developers and technology partners, and it's also a multiplier for the business."The conversation goes through practical go-to-market strategies, from Canva's developer experience principles to Indy's legendary "Cha-Ching" program at Salesforce that transformed how sales teams engaged with partners. We explore how modern platforms balance technical enablement (making APIs accessible) with commercial enablement (helping partners achieve business success), all while nurturing genuine human connections.Perhaps most compelling is Indy's perspective on leadership in the age of AI. His "Zen leadership" approach emphasizes psychological safety, decision-making amid ambiguity, and helping team members work at their "highest point of contribution." As he puts it, "Ambiguity is okay, indecision is not."Whether you're building a platform, leading a team, or simply interested in how technology ecosystems evolve, this conversation offers valuable insights into creating lasting value through human-centered innovation. Plus, don't miss Indy's surprisingly impressive performance in our Batman trivia challenge!Indy Sen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/indysen/Indy's Sen started on the ground floor of the Salesforce AppExchange. From there, he helped Box take on SharePoint, led developer relations at MuleSoft, did a tour of duty at Google Workspace, and even helped WeWork completely overhaul their product marketing before helping Matterport go public.Website: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: spark@postion2.com

In this episode of Resilient Cyber, we chat with Patrick Duffy, Product Manager at Material Security, on Securing the Modern Workspace. The conversation will include discussions about the increased adoption of cloud office suites, limitations of traditional security approaches, and a deep dive into how Material Security is tackling issues such as securing email and data, identity threat detection, and posture management.Stepping back a bit before we get too specific, we've seen major fundamental shifts in the way organizations work and operate today, including widespread adoption of Cloud Office Suites (e.g., Google Workspaces, Microsoft 365, etc.). How have these shifts changed the threat landscape, and what sort of issues are we seeing with traditional security practices when it comes to securing these environments?We know phishing and email attacks are common and critical to protect against, but what about challenges around visibility of accounts/activity, sensitive data, and secure configurations and posture?Getting more specific to Material, can you help us understand how you all approach this problem space from a platform and offering perspective? What are some key features and abilities Material Security customers utilize to secure their cloud office suite environments, and what threats do they help against?What are some key differentiators for Material compared to some of the other vendors working on this problem, or even how do you all differ from some of the native security capabilities of environments such as M365 or Google Workspace?This space continues to evolve, both in terms of the cloud workspace environments and their usage by organizations and the relevant threats. How is Material preparing for these changes, whether it's the widespread adoption of AI, increased complexity, and so onIt's always great to hear some first-hand use cases and applications. Can you share some examples where Material Security has found success with specific customers and users of the solution?We've covered everything from the pitfalls and shortcomings of traditional security approaches to cloud office suites to where the market is headed. Where can folks learn more about Material, and what should we keep an eye out for next?

We often talk about diversity in terms of background or culture, but age diversity plays just as big a role in team success. In this episode, we explore what happens when you bring together different generations at work and create space for all voices to be heard.Gary Danoff, a global leader at Google and an experienced executive coach, shares how he builds strong, multigenerational teams. He explains how to recognize and work with the different experiences that shape each generation. His approach centers on curiosity, active listening, and what he calls leading with love. Gary also shares how he encourages open conversations on teams and why understanding strengths is more useful than relying on labels.This is a practical look at how to create respectful, high-performing environments where people of any age feel valued and motivated.Key Takeaways:1. Curiosity is the bridge - Asking questions and staying open to others' experiences helps create understanding across generations.2. Labels are only starting points - Generational terms can guide conversations but should never limit how we see or support people.3. Love belongs in leadership - Caring about your team as people helps build trust and brings out their best work.4. Strengths matter more than age - People thrive when leaders match work styles to individual strengths, not generational stereotypes.5. Tough moments create growth - When conflict shows up, leaders need to step in, listen, and help teams learn through it.Resources MentionedThe Inspire Your Team to Greatness assessment (the Courage Assessment)How can you inspire our team to be more proactive, take ownership and get more done?You demonstrate and empower The Courage of a Leader.
