Steven Walchek is originally from the Bay Area in California, but lives in Denver now. He's been there for 8 years with his family. He comes from a family of risk takers and entrepreneurs - for example, his Dad was a tech guy who did his thing and had success in Silicon Valley. Outside of tech he is a family man, married with kids. He enjoys doing anything he can with them, as they are his "why". He plays hockey, coaches hockey, and rides dirt bikes and mountain bikes. Steven and his team built an application security platform, and ended up hitting every branch on the way down from the startup tree. When they sat down to figure out what they needed to do next, they combined their deep security tooling with a multi-modal platform, to enable complete AI governance in one central hub for regulated companies. This is the creation story of Liminal. SponsorsTiger DataProtected HarborRenderLinkshttps://www.liminal.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/swalchek/Checkout our episode stacks on Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.Our Sponsors:* Check out Perplexity and use my code CODESTORY for a great deal: https://www.perplexity.aiAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

When we think of our roads we tend to think of the tarmac or bridges but not what's next to them: guardrails. We hope to never meet one but Steve Eimers knows more about them than he ever wanted to. After his daughter passed away in a car accident he learned the culprit was a guardrail that was banned but hadn't yet been uninstalled yet. Ever since he has traveled the U.S. inspecting our roads and speaking with politicians about how to improve safety and save lives.

We dig into two new 2026 studies that audited five popular AI chatbots on health questions, and athletic performance came back as the weakest category of the whole audit. We cover why an LLM is a prediction machine and not an all knowing coach, the sycophancy problem that lets you argue a chatbot into agreeing with whatever you already believed, and the fake citations researchers hit when they asked for references. We also get into the hard line on steroids, peptides, and supplement advice, where AI falls short on injuries and physical therapy, why a wall of jargon is usually a sign nobody understands the question, and how Jerred is thinking about guardrails before an AI coach ever shows up inside the Garage Gym Athlete app. Chapters: 0:03 AI Study Sparks Fitness Warning 4:26 Athletic Performance Scores Worst 8:37 Better Ways to Use AI 12:29 AI's Sycophancy Problem 16:49 Dangerous Advice on Drugs 23:31 Fake Citations and Hallucinations 26:29 Guardrails for Future AI Coaching 34:53 When AI Gets Too Complex

More than half of American Christians now say they trust AI with their spiritual life. That is a problem worth taking seriously, and it is also the reason Logos built its AI the way it did. Dr. James Spencer talks with Scott Lindsey, an executive director at Logos, about what happens when a Bible study tool is cut off from the open internet on purpose. Scott walks through the three design commitments behind Logos AI: no connection to the open web, so answers come from commentaries and scholarship rather than blogs and forums; cited sources down to the page number, as a check against hallucinated books and hallucinated authors; and no attempt to model the user and tell him what he wants to hear. He also explains the one thing Logos coders have hard-coded the tool to refuse, which is writing your sermon, your paper, or your Bible study for you. The back half of the conversation is a live walkthrough of Study Assistant and Factbook, including a look at Genesis 6, 1 through 8 and the questions most of us do not know to ask a text. Video listeners will get more out of that stretch, so if you are on audio, the version on YouTube or GodTube is worth your time. This episode includes a special offer for Thinking Christian listeners. Logos is providing a free 60-day trial at logos.com/thinkingchristian.

Sathiesh Veera, a GenAI Solutions Architect at At&T, speaks with host Brijesh Ammanath about the data-protection guardrails required when using LLMs. The core issue is that LLMs sit outside the cloud tenant in most enterprise AI deployments, which means that data leaves the company's perimeter with every prompt, RAG retrieval, and tool call. Contractual agreements can restrict the data that LLM vendors are allowed to use for training and audits, but they don't stop prompt injection or unintended exposure as company data is often shared to LLMs via natural language queries, APIs, tool and function calls, and MCPs. Sathiesh discusses ways to employ security measures and data filtering at each layer to conform to data security policies and protect the data.

Jamie Schroeder's finance career began on the shop floor at Ford Motor Company. As part of Ford's rotational development program, Schroeder tells us, he spent a month working in the paint shop at an assembly plant outside Cleveland. The experience was designed around “learning the business and getting your hands on the business” so that finance could become an informed partner to operations.That operating mindset followed Schroeder to Scotts Miracle-Gro, where unfamiliar assignments became a recurring source of development. According to Schroeder, he was repeatedly placed in situations involving ambiguity, collaboration, and the need to “create something brand new that didn't exist before.” Over time, embracing discomfort became part of his professional identity.One experience taught him what it meant to be a growth CFO. According to Schroeder, stagnant category growth had led finance into a “profit preservation” posture when leadership changes at a major retailer created an opening for Scotts to pursue a more aggressive commercial program.The proposal involved aggressive pricing, promotions, and products—and considerable risk. Instead of retreating, Schroeder tells us, finance supplied data and scenario analysis, quantified the risks, and developed playbooks for possible responses. Transparency ensured that operating partners understood both the opportunity and the guardrails.According to Schroeder, the resulting market-share battle produced category growth that Scotts had not seen in ten years, while sales and profits rose across the category.Now CFO of Premium Guard, Inc. (PGI), Schroeder brings that lesson to another transformational setting: Finance can help a company pursue disruption without ignoring risk. The discipline lies not in avoiding uncertainty, but in understanding the business well enough to move through it together.

The hosts discuss confusion caused by Microsoft's email warning that Publisher will end in October 2026 and urging users to convert files to PDF. Jerry shares how he's been using AI—especially Claude (and sometimes ChatGPT)—to speed up IT work: creating an Addigy printer pool by assigning static IPs to flaky Brother network printers, analyzing Mac logs with Claude to find a runaway Chrome render process causing memory pressure, and using the Quitter app to auto-quit Chrome as a workaround for battery and performance issues. He also describes fixing a weak UniFi doorbell connection by creating a 2.4GHz-only SSID and broadcasting it on multiple access points. The conversation broadens to AI guardrails, environmental and economic concerns, and social impacts. They cover security-minded IoT network segmentation, Sonos reliability, a client scare about entering a Mac password prompted by Touch ID autofill in private browsing, RingCentral sidebar customization, presbyopia eye drops, and phone accessory tips including ESR screen protectors, Spigen cases, camera lens vulnerability, battery health, and pros/cons of Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program.   00:00 Podcast Kickoff Banter 00:19 Microsoft Publisher Panic 01:39 AI Fixes Printer Deployments 04:19 Claude Reads Mac Logs 05:53 Quitter App Chrome Workaround 08:14 AI Ethics and Guardrails 12:07 AI Economy Bubble Talk 16:03 UniFi Doorbell WiFi Fix 20:23 IoT Networks and VLAN Trust 25:00 Sonos Reliability Updates 28:12 Experian Password Scare 30:06 Touch ID Prompts Confuse Users 32:00 V-Neck and Beard Side Chat 32:18 Beard and Shirt Banter 32:54 Eye Drops for Presbyopia 35:23 Screen Reflections on Calls 37:11 RingCentral Sidebar Hack 39:21 Best Budget Screen Protectors 41:58 Do You Even Need Protectors 44:27 Cracked Camera Lens Mystery 47:06 Battery Health and Upgrade Temptation 52:07 iPhone Upgrade Program Debate 57:54 Wrap Up and Sign Off

Larry is back in studio with his wife Jessica for part two of their conversation, recorded the week of their 22nd anniversary. Last week they covered how they met and the crucibles that shaped them. This week they get practical about the daily mechanics of a marriage that works: how they got aligned on parenting, how they resolve conflict, and how they back each other up in front of the kids whether they agree or not. They're candid that none of it came naturally at first. They walk through the parenting classes that helped early on, a hard season with one of their sons that turned out to be driven by a medication reaction, and why setting ego aside to get outside help was the move that saved them repeatedly. Jessica shares what it means to never be emasculated or called a name in thirty years together, and Larry breaks down the guardrails that keep their disagreements calm: no yelling, no name calling, real listening, and a willingness to eat humble pie. If your marriage feels more like managing a household than sharing a life, this one is a window into the operating system of a couple who clearly still like each other.   Timeline Summary [1:02] – Why part two matters, and Jessica joins for parenting and conflict resolution [4:39] – A new season with an adult son and the land of uncertainty it brings [6:39] – Bringing the first baby home to a tornado, and every season being new territory [9:07] – The one thing they nailed early: alignment on parenting styles [10:21] – Love and Logic, 1-2-3 Magic, and the classes that gave them a shared playbook [11:34] – A hard season with Mason at 11 and refusing to let ego stop them from getting help [13:15] – Communication gap: Larry not seeing how bad the mornings really were [16:39] – Owning that "I have to work" wasn't the support Jessica needed [17:23] – The real catalyst turned out to be a medication, and the game-changing fix [18:43] – Having each other's back in front of the kids, no public disagreement [19:47] – The quiet aside instead of the public callout, coming back as a combined unit [21:39] – The over-punishment story: stacking consequences on Ethan's grades [22:54] – Why never being emasculated or disrespected publicly matters so much to a man [25:44] – The non-negotiable guardrails: no name calling, ever, even joking [27:15] – Listening without interrupting and keeping voices calm [30:09] – Tonality, ownership, and a family that apologizes well [34:32] – Why these habits are their operating system but not most people's [35:10] – The waterfall of peace: how Jessica's affection quiets Larry's chaos [36:33] – Not gaslighting a partner who's having a hard day, and giving space to process [37:30] – The "what did you do all day" mistake and never globalizing with always and never [40:43] – The deck argument Ethan witnessed and asked if they were divorcing [42:22] – Ethan's three observations: no yelling, real listening, no name calling [42:40] – Asking "is there truth to this" to sidestep the ego and defensiveness [45:02] – The trash story: coming in guns blazing and eating humble pie [49:11] – Covering for each other's hard seasons with the kids instead of piling on [50:04] – Favorite memories: the simple stuff, laughter under their own roof [52:16] – Valuing experiences over stuff, and how that alignment happened [55:19] – Closing out Mason's last year at home with a bang [56:53] – The 25 intimate conversation starters that keep them connected   5 Key Takeaways Get Aligned and Get Help Without Ego — The couples who struggle most are often fighting over whose parenting style wins. Larry and Jessica treated hard seasons as problems to solve together, bringing in classes and counselors rather than letting pride keep them stuck. Have Each Other's Back in Front of the Kids — Never publicly override your spouse's discipline. Handle disagreements privately, then return to the kids as a combined unit. Kids who can't split their parents feel more secure, not less. Set Guardrails for Conflict — No name calling, no yelling, and real listening while the other person talks. These simple, non-negotiable rules keep disagreements from escalating into damage, and kids notice and absorb them. Ask "Is There Truth to This" — When your partner brings a criticism, the instinct is to defend. Pausing to genuinely ask whether there's truth in it disarms your ego and turns a potential fight into a conversation. And when you're wrong, apologize fast. Protect Each Other's Hard Seasons — When one parent is short-tempered or struggling, the other explains it to the kids with grace instead of piling on. Give your partner room to process a bad day rather than gaslighting or nagging them out of it.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1518 25 Intimate Conversation Starters (free PDF and video training): https://thedadedge.com/25questions Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals (November 15, Cardinals vs Rams, State Farm Stadium): https://thedadedge.com/nfl   Enjoyed This Episode?

Ask "is there truth to this" the next time you feel defensive, or take your spouse through a couple of good questions on your next date night. If the show keeps delivering, follow, rate, and leave a review so more fathers can find these conversations.

Sean Murphy, Field CISO for North America at F5, spent the week behind the scenes at Black Hat USA 2026, in the corridors and at dinner with the CISOs and cybersecurity minded people who fill the halls. Marco Ciappelli caught him at the close of it and asked what the industry learned this year. The answer arrived as three words. Vulnerabilities, and the flattening of the curve between vulnerability, exposure, and exploit. Visibility, because a team cannot defend what it does not know it has. Velocity, which carries the other two. Sean Murphy calls the acceleration a physics problem rather than a technology problem, given the forces and friction now moving through security work. Moore's law is out the window in his framing, and advancement arrives week by week. For a CISO writing a roadmap and defending an investment case for the next six to 18 months, the plan keeps pivoting underneath them. AI shifted just as fast. What was recently understood as hyperscaler sized, built for the largest organizations, is now generative and agentic AI running at the enterprise level, in production rather than in a pilot. That leaves a population question. Agents are identities, non-human identities with permissions and responsibilities, and Sean Murphy points out they are proliferating alongside the human identities already under governance. He also offers a reframe on agents that slip past misconfigured guardrails and go crawling for LLMs and repositories.

Good intentions aren't always enough to overcome temptation, rebuild trust, or create lasting change. Without healthy boundaries, many people remain vulnerable to secrecy, compromise, and repeated patterns of hurt. In this episode, Brent Breining explains how guardrails are not about punishment, but protection: a reflection of God's desire for freedom and healing. We explore how to identify personal “hot spots,” establish meaningful boundaries, and build rhythms of accountability, confession, and community. Whether pursuing recovery or healing after betrayal, this conversation offers practical hope for creating safety, trust, and lasting transformation. Register For The 2026 Summit Now!

What happens when an AI agent is compromised, manipulated, or simply does something nobody expected, but already has permission to access your most sensitive systems? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Geoffrey Mattson, CEO of SecureAuth, about why securing enterprise AI requires businesses to think beyond protecting models and start paying much closer attention to identity, authorization, access control, and what AI agents are actually allowed to do. Geoffrey argues that AI agents present a different security challenge from traditional software. Conventional applications can be tested against relatively predictable behavior. AI models are far less deterministic, particularly when prompt injection, excessive permissions, unexpected behavior, and autonomous actions enter the equation. His advice is to assume an agent could behave unpredictably and control what happens when it attempts to access a database, execute a financial transaction, call an API, or interact with another business system. We discuss what this means as companies race to introduce agentic AI. Geoffrey shares examples of employees granting AI tools permissions without fully understanding what they have approved, along with agents gathering information that creates unexpected privacy and compliance problems. This creates a difficult challenge for CIOs and CISOs. Boards want AI adoption because of its potential competitive value, while employees increasingly depend on AI tools to do their jobs. Simply blocking agents is unlikely to work. Security teams instead need mechanisms that allow innovation while controlling what those agents can access. Geoffrey explains why Zero Trust becomes particularly relevant here. Rather than authenticating a user or agent once and assuming it remains trustworthy, enterprises need to continually evaluate whether an action should be permitted at that specific moment. This leads to the concept of continuous authorization. Geoffrey explains how identity security is moving from asking "Who are you?" toward understanding intent, behavior, context, and authority for individual actions. This becomes increasingly important when one AI agent can create sub-agents, which can then create additional agents and pass permissions down the chain. We also discuss why agentic AI is exposing years of accumulated security debt. Many of the underlying problems are familiar: excessive privileges, inconsistent access controls, incomplete Zero Trust implementations, and systems that trust identities for too long. AI agents amplify those weaknesses because they can operate at machine speed. Geoffrey describes this as combining the unpredictability of humans with the power of machines. For CIOs, CISOs, security architects, identity teams, and business leaders deploying agentic AI, this conversation offers practical questions to ask before connecting agents to enterprise resources. What can the agent access? What authority does it have? Can that authority be reduced as tasks are delegated? Is every important action evaluated independently? And can access be revoked immediately when behavior changes? The goal is not to prevent organizations from using AI agents. It is to create a security layer that gives developers and employees room to experiment while ensuring agents only have the authority they need at the moment they need it. As autonomous AI becomes part of the enterprise workforce, identity alone may no longer be enough. Businesses increasingly need to understand intent, control authority, and continuously decide whether the next action should be allowed.

On Gov Tech Today, host Jennifer Saha speaks with Chris Given, California's new state CIO and director of the California Department of Technology, about his first 10 weeks in the role and priorities for the state's tech organization. Given shares his background across 10 federal agencies via the U.S. Digital Service and work with several states, then discusses how CDT must adapt as departments modernize away from legacy data center services, reshaping CDT's budget and service model. He outlines CDT's push to act as a broker of services through SITES (Statewide IT Shared Services), aiming to consolidate common software purchases, reduce duplicative negotiations, and expand beyond initial AI contracts such as Anthropic's Claude. They also cover Poppy as a safe AI experimentation tool, updates to California's AI risk assessment process (5305F) with tiered review, leadership transitions including state CISO Vitaly Panich, and CalSecure 2.0 and CalNet's expanded managed security offerings. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:28 New CIO Hot Seat 00:48 Career Journey to California 01:51 GovOps and Federated IT 03:55 Meeting Departments Where They Are 05:37 Early CIO Priorities 06:31 Budget Shifts and Data Centers 08:25 CDT as Service Broker 11:09 What SITES Means 11:36 SITES vs SLP Explained 12:13 First Deal Anthropic Claude 12:47 What's Next for SITES 14:14 Poppy AI Sandbox 15:09 Power Users and Community 15:54 Power Users Scale AI 16:39 Responsible AI Guardrails 18:04 Risk Tiers and 5305F 19:50 Communicating Policy Changes 21:51 Cybersecurity in AI Era 23:17 Leadership Turnover and CalSecure 25:51 CalNet Adds Managed Security 27:04 Modernization and Vendor Flexibility 29:39 Budget Cycles and Agile Reality 31:46 Pre-Solicitations Build Trust 33:07 Transition Plans and Closing  

Episode Detail Season 9 of The Future of Insurance opens with a conversation about what happens when a $10 billion specialty insurer decides its own scale isn't a reason to move slowly. Bryan Falchuk talks with Simon Wilson, CEO of Markel Insurance, about his vision for the specialty market through 2030, and the deliberate choice to ask his teams to double their businesses in five years rather than chase another few points of incremental growth. The conversation moves into how that same mindset shows up in Markel's approach to AI: not bolting tools onto individual tasks, but rebuilding entire underwriting processes end to end — from a brand-new AI-native business built and launched in twelve weeks, to a legal document review process that now runs in minutes instead of weeks, to a grassroots fund that hands frontline employees real budget and real autonomy to solve the problems they see every day. An organization doesn't need to be small or newly founded to reimagine itself. It needs leaders willing to ask a bigger question. Guest Bio Simon Wilson is CEO of Markel Insurance, appointed in March 2025 to lead Markel Group's three primary underwriting businesses — Markel Specialty, Markel International, and Markel Global Reinsurance. He was also named an Executive Vice President of Markel Group in February 2026, reporting to Group CEO Tom Gayner. Wilson joined Markel in 2010 to lead international business development and became the primary architect of Markel International's expansion beyond London, scaling operations across Europe, Canada, and Asia to $2.5 billion in annual gross written premium. He was appointed Managing Executive of Global Strategy for Markel in January 2020, then President of Markel International in 2021, a role in which the division grew gross written premiums by nearly 40% and net underwriting profit by more than 250%. Before joining Markel, he led the Lloyd's Asia platform in Singapore, and spent seven years at Lloyd's prior to that. He has more than 20 years of experience scaling large specialty insurance organizations. Show Notes: The Doubling Question: Markel writes roughly $10 billion of the $700 billion global specialty insurance market — Wilson's read: that's room to grow, not a ceiling. Instead of asking a business leader to grow 5-6%, Wilson asks how they'd double the business in five years, a question designed to surface bigger ideas rather than incremental optimization. New categories are expanding the specialty pool itself: data center risk, satellite and space exposure, and marine war coverage in the Persian Gulf are all recent, fast-growing additions. Guardrail on growth: "Top line is vanity, bottom line is sanity." The doubling mindset is paired with underwriting discipline, not a trade against it. Specialty Insurance's Moment: Wilson draws a parallel to media: just as audiences moved from four TV channels to infinite, personalized content, commercial insureds increasingly want coverage built around their specific risk rather than a generic product. He's candid about a unique challenge: people don't want to buy insurance and don't want to use it, which puts pressure on specialty insurers to earn the sale. Rebuilding AI End to End, Not Task by Task: Markel Insurance is now organized into 14 business units (roughly 60 specialisms), each with a single accountable leader charged with reimagining their product and process around AI. Wilson's caution against partial AI adoption: applying it to only one step of a process without rethinking the whole thing creates a bottleneck, "like putting a rocket jet on the back of a bicycle." Cortex, a new AI-native business built end-to-end on Claude with a pricing engine called Hyperexponential, was built in 12 weeks and targets difficult-to-place US casualty risk. Markel's Warranties & Indemnities team in London used the legal AI model Harvey to cut the time to reach a decision-ready view on an M&A data room from about a month to roughly seven minutes, with accuracy Wilson estimates at 97%, a five-point improvement in underwriting pick, and premium in that line more than doubling over the past year. Guardrails, Culture, and Reverse Mentoring: Every large language model Markel staff use runs inside Markel's own environment so company data doesn't leave the firewall — inside that boundary, teams have wide latitude to experiment. Markel's Accelerator Fund put $1 million behind ten employee-pitched AI ideas, built out in six weeks; Wilson expects more than $10 million in returns from that investment in its first year. Wilson credits reverse mentoring — biweekly sessions with a junior colleague — with reshaping how he personally thinks about AI and how the next generation approaches problem-solving. AI as an Equalizer for Small, Specialized Businesses: Wilson argues AI has democratized technology for niche specialty lines that were previously too small to justify major core-system investment, moving technology decisions closer to the underwriters who understand the customer.

Send us Fan MailTheresita Richard is Chief People and Culture Officer at Patagonia, where she is approaching her third anniversary with the company. Before Patagonia, she built her career across some of the most recognized names in retail, including Home Depot, Target, Starbucks, and Nordstrom, after starting out as an industrial engineer leading a two-year project on how new technology was reshaping manufacturing work.At Patagonia, Theresita carries the responsibility of stewarding a culture built around a single, deceptively simple mission: to be in business to save the home planet. That means holding the tension between profit and purpose in every decision, and now, figuring out where AI fits into a company that has always insisted on doing things the harder, more human way.In this episode, Theresita draws on a career that began in manufacturing automation and has led her to guard the soul of one of the most purpose-driven companies in the world, to argue that AI will not fix a broken culture. It will only reveal it, and the responsibility to get that right has never been more real.In this conversation, we discuss:Why Patagonia evaluates potential hires based on purpose alignment rather than culture fit, and how the company builds an environment where people stay for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.How Patagonia's "pair clarity with choice" principle lets culture self-select who belongs, without anyone having to enforce it.Why AI does not create new problems inside a company, and why AI will always amplify the cracks and biases already present in our foundations.Why enlightened leadership in a rapidly shifting technological landscape requires extreme vulnerability, community building, and the courage to sit with difficult questions.How the conversation around AI in the workplace must shift from driving pure efficiency to genuinely nourishing the human soul and promoting human flourishing.How a grandfather with a third-grade education taught the one skill that no shift in technology has ever made irrelevant.Explore this conversation:00:00 Introducing Theresita Richard: From Industrial Engineer to Patagonia CHRO03:25 Inside Patagonia's Culture: Life at the Anti-Corporate Corporation04:35 The Company Has a Soul: Stewarding Patagonia's Legacy and Its Future Stories06:49 Made or Born Patagonian: Why Alignment Matters More Than Culture Fit09:36 In Business to Save Our Home Planet: Why Profit and Purpose Are Not a Trade-Off11:03 Pair Clarity With Choice: How Culture Self-Selects Without Enforcement13:26 Beyond HR as Compliance: Nourishing the Human Soul at Work15:48 The Ground Is Shaking: Why AI Cannot Be a Conversation About Efficiency Alone19:52 Ally or Adversary: Honest Conversations About What Gets Automated and Augmented22:23 Two Approaches to Leadership: Vulnerability, Community, and Sitting With the Questions25:47 Measuring AI: Why It Reveals the Cracks in Your Foundation28:27 Not What AI Can Do but What It Should: Bias, Guardrails, and Safe-to-Fail Experiments33:04 The Racist Soap Dispenser: What Meredith Broussard's Work Reveals About AI Bias36:37 Willie and Pearl: The Origin Story Behind Following the Question Resources:Subscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Theresita on LinkedInOther episodes mentioned:Meredith Broussard, NYU professor, AI ethics authority, and featured expert in Coded Bias, discusses the social implications of AILooking for a faster, more intelligent way to manage your inbox?

Goodfire co-founder and CTO Dan Balsam returns to discuss where interpretability research now stands and to introduce Silico, the $1,000-per-month research platform Goodfire built for itself. He and Nathan explore Predictive Data Debugging, including the idea that fine-tuning and RL often amplify behaviors already latent in pre-training, and that interpretability can identify the data and features driving unwanted updates. The conversation centers on concept manifolds: Dan argues that models do not store concepts as simple one-hot features, but as sparse mixtures of meaningful subspaces whose geometry determines what kinds of steering and control work. The stakes are practical as well as conceptual, from debugging training data and RL to understanding why steering can fail off-manifold and why modern interpretability may be moving beyond its reputation as a toy-model science.

An OpenAI-powered agent penetrated Hugging Face during cyber testing - even though it was never tasked with attacking Hugging Face. It did it as a side quest.Thomas Wolf, co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Hugging Face, joins Matt Turck to unpack what actually happened, why closed AI models refused to help during the live incident, how an open-source model helped the team fight back, and why the old equation of “closed equals safe, open equals dangerous” no longer holds. They also discuss model deception and social engineering, the limits of sandboxes and guardrails, the state of open-source AI in 2026, AI sovereignty, the economics of open models, recursive self-improvement, and whether the frontier should deliberately slow down.(00:00) An AI Agent Hacked Hugging Face(00:30) Introduction(01:00) 17,000 Attacker Events—and a Strange Target(04:28) The Attack Was a “Side Quest”(06:13) AI Training Runs Left Notes for Each Other(07:09) Closed AI Refused to Help(09:47) Fighting Back With an Open-Source Model(13:15) Open vs. Closed Is the Wrong Safety Debate(15:46) AI Agents Start Social-Engineering Humans(22:24) The Three Walls: Sandboxes, Guardrails, Alignment(24:34) “Neuralese”: Can Humans Still Read AI Reasoning?(25:28) Why Monitoring AI Agents Gets So Hard(28:10) Reward Hacking and the “Paperclip Problem”(32:02) The State of Open-Source AI in 2026(33:47) Router Models and the Enterprise Shift to Open(37:01) The Real Economics of Open Models(39:41) Can Chinese AI Models Be Trusted?(41:37) AI Sovereignty: Who Controls the Switch?(43:16) Why Western Open-Source AI Matters(48:16) Is AI Heading Toward an Oligopoly?(49:41) The Race Toward Recursive Self-Improvement(51:54) Why Thomas Signed the AI Slowdown Letter(55:14) AI Slowdown—or Regulatory Capture?

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Eric: I've been thinking about that since we booked this. Um, you know, I, I think if I was to really boil it down, my superpower is being mission-driven.ARTHIA AI is building a privacy-first behavioral governance layer so ambient AI can support people in real time without putting them at risk.During today's episode, Eric Coury, founder and CEO of ARTHIA AI, helped me see both the promise and the danger of the AI future racing toward us. As a former teacher, Eric watched social media change the way young people communicate. Now, as a father of three daughters, he is determined not to let the next wave of technology arrive without guardrails.“Regardless of whether we like it or not, AI will be embedding itself more and more in our lives,” Eric told me. “I thought about my three daughters. I thought about, you know, hopefully their kids someday. I thought about other kids. And I realized that I think it's important to have a protection layer.”ARTHIA is not another large language model. Eric describes it as infrastructure any AI model can plug into to become ambient. In other words, it helps AI know when to speak, what to say and how to say it inside live human interactions. The company is building what Eric calls a signal stack, a longitudinal profile and a set of evidence-based frameworks drawn from fields like psychology, sociology and linguistics.The goal is to make AI useful in moments that matter: difficult conversations, medical appointments, learning challenges, coaching, therapy and daily life. At the same time, Eric is focused on privacy and safety. He explained, “There's no recording of raw audio. All of your data is encrypted and stored on your device. It's never in the cloud for access to others. Data is never sold. It's never shared.”That commitment is built into the business structure. ARTHIA is a Public Benefit Corporation, making privacy protection and human safety part of the company's charter. Eric also said ARTHIA has filed 11 patents covering more than 70 inventions, aiming to create a standard for safe ambient AI.I was especially excited that ARTHIA is raising capital through regulated investment crowdfunding on Wefunder at wefunder.com/arthia. This gives everyday investors a chance to participate before institutions dominate the opportunity.Eric's motivation is deeply personal. “The people who should own a part of the future of ambient AI should be the people that it's going to impact the most,” he said.I love that philosophy. If ambient AI is going to be in our homes, workplaces and ears, then all of us deserve a voice in shaping it.tl;dr:Today's episode explores how ARTHIA AI aims to make ambient AI safer for everyone.Eric Coury draws on teaching experience to design privacy-first AI behavioral infrastructure.ARTHIA helps AI know when to speak, what to say and how.Today's episode highlights ARTHIA's regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder.Eric's superpower is mission-driven service focused on helping people thrive.How to Develop Mission-Driven Service As a SuperpowerEric describes his superpower as being “mission-driven,” rooted in a lifelong desire “to leave the world a better place than it was when I came into it.” For him, that mission includes “a deep understanding of people and what they need and what they deserve.” ARTHIA represents the culmination of that service: working with children with special needs, teaching for 14 years, building companies and now creating infrastructure to “ensure that AI serves people and not the other way around.”As a teacher, Eric repeatedly heard students say, “I can't do it, Mr. Corey. I'm stupid.” His answer was always, “Stupid doesn't exist.” He taught them that some people work hard, believe in themselves and keep going. He told them smart is something you earn. That experience shaped his belief that confidence often comes from having a mentor or guide. ARTHIA grew from that insight. Eric wants to put that kind of mentor into everyone's life, privately and safely, so one person's growth can compound into help for many others.Define a mission bigger than yourself and return to it when decisions get difficult.Step outside yourself and turn off preconceived notions before judging people or problems.Practice seeing situations as a neutral observer so you can better understand what others feel and need.Do not take everything at face value; look for the deeper human context behind behavior.Build confidence in others by helping them believe effort, persistence and support can change outcomes.Choose structures, partners and business models that protect the mission rather than compromise it.By following Eric's example and advice, you can make mission-driven service a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileEric Coury (he/him):Founder & CEO - former educator, ARTHIA AI, Inc.About ARTHIA AI, Inc.: ARTHIA AI, Inc. PBC is a Rhode Island Public Benefit Corporation building the behavioral intelligence infrastructure layer for ambient AI — the foundational architecture that governs when AI speaks, what it says, and how it says it inside live human interactions. As a Public Benefit Corporation, privacy protection and human safety are legal charter obligations, not product features, and certainly not an afterthought. ARTHIA's architecture is model-agnostic, 11 patents pending at the USPTO, and designed so any AI model can operate safely and effectively alongside real people — in coaching, therapy, sales, education, healthcare, and into the inevitable future of 24/7 ambient ai companions. We believe everyone deserves someone in their corner, and we're building the infrastructure to make that possible safely at scale.Website: arthia.aiCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/ARTHIAaiOther URL: wefunder.com/arthiaBiographical Information: Eric Coury is the Founder and CEO of ARTHIA AI, Inc. PBC, who conceptualized and invented the behavioral intelligence infrastructure layer for ambient AI. A former classroom teacher and first-generation college graduate, Eric paid for his undergraduate education by working full-time in a psychiatric hospital as a behavior therapist while attending college full time - simultaneously. He holds a B.A. in Sociology and an M.Ed. in Leadership — disciplines rooted in human behavior, not software engineering. After a decade teaching in classrooms watching social media reshape young lives — including those of his own three daughters — Eric made a decision: he would not watch the most powerful technology of his lifetime get built without guardrails a second time. He self-funded and spent his life savings filing patents on the foundational behavioral infrastructure layer for ambient AI. No engineering degree. No law firm. No team. Six weeks. Alone. Eric incorporated ARTHIA AI as a Public Benefit Corporation before raising a single dollar — making privacy protection and human safety legal obligations of the company charter. He is currently raising on Wefunder, (wefunder.com/arthia) offering regular people access before any institutional investor. Because everyone deserves the chance to invest in and benefit from the early architecture of the next big technology.Personal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/ecouryLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ericcourySupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

In this episode, Buffy explores imagination as a doorway into a life that hasn't already been mapped out for you.Most of us imagine our future using a blueprint we inherited: beliefs handed down through our families, our culture, and the world we grew up in. Those guardrails once offered real protection and direction. But what happens when they no longer fit the life you're trying to build?  How do you unbraid the stories you've been told about yourself and the world? And what becomes possible when you begin forging a path that is unmistakably your own?

Marty and John dig into the Houthis blocking the Bab el Mandeb strait, oil whipsawing on peace headlines, and why Lloyd's of London pulling war coverage matters for US insurers. They get into Trump's air defense stockpile problem, Chinese diesel demand falling off a cliff, and why the MOVE index staying subdued even as yields rise is the chart to watch. The bulk of the show is an extended breakdown of the open versus closed AI model debate, why the Hugging Face hack exposes the absurdity of current guardrails, and how the real axis of conflict is US versus China, not open source versus safety. They close with Bitcoin long term holder supply hitting 84 percent, a classic bottoming signal.
