Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Emmett Shear, co-founder of Twitch, former interim CEO of OpenAI, who now runs Softmax AI alignment. Emmett argues that current AI safety approaches focused on "systems of control" are fundamentally flawed and proposes "organic alignment" instead—where AI systems develop genuine care for their local communities rather than following rigid rules. –Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/ai-alignment-with-emmett-shear/–Sponsor: MercuryThis episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

When a company's values don't match its actions, the impact can be devastating. Kim and Amy speak with investigative journalist Gardiner Harris about his book, No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson. Harris uncovers how a company once seen as the gold standard of integrity used its famous “Credo” to build emotional trust while covering up harmful practices—from baby powder linked to cancer to its role in the opioid crisis. The conversation goes beyond one company, raising bigger questions about accountability, transparency, and the systems meant to keep us safe. It's a candid look at how misplaced trust can cause lasting damage—and what it really takes to create a culture where honesty and responsibility come first.

There are many more opportunities available through local incentives. As the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County notes, they serve as a connection to grants, assistance, and financial incentives available through the State of Florida, Palm Beach County, and local municipalities. There may or may not be grant or related incentive opportunities for select local businesses, but one would never know unless the questions are asked, and the opportunities are explored. Many business owners aren't aware of these potential opportunities.

Running a brick-and-mortar business often means choosing between growth and survival.  Do you hire the team you need or expand into the space your business deserves?  In this episode, I sit down with my client Katie Kim, a visionary developer and educator who has made it her mission to change that story. Katie shares how she helps entrepreneurs leverage real estate not just as a place to operate, but as a powerful tool for adding income streams, unlocking hidden incentives, and creating long-term wealth—even beyond the day you exit your business. Having closed her first deal at just 15, she's spent decades making real estate development more accessible for business owners. Her work is deeply purpose-driven, answering her own calling to help others use real estate as a foundation for growth, stability, and legacy.

A new research paper from OpenAI asks why large language models like GPT-5 and chatbots like ChatGPT still hallucinate, and whether anything can be done to reduce those hallucinations. In a blog post summarizing the paper, OpenAI defines hallucinations as plausible but false statements generated by language models, and it acknowledges that despite improvements, hallucinations remain a fundamental challenge for all large language models, one that will never be completely eliminated.

Send us a textBuilder and seller agent incentives are a big problem in our industry today.  Should the agent get an incentive simply to show a house or should that incentive go to the buyer?  Don't you have a fiduciary duty to do what is in the client's best interest?  How is it in the client's best interest for you to get a bonus for steering them to a house?  Doesn't sound too client centric to me!Today, I will discuss the complexities surrounding builder and seller bonuses and incentives in real estate, particularly in light of the Sitzer Burnett case. I will explore the ethical implications of commission steering, the fiduciary duties of agents, and the legal truths that govern real estate compensation. The conversation will emphasize the importance of prioritizing client interests over personal financial gain, and I will discuss the potential legal repercussions of accepting bonuses from sellers.Don't forget to like us and share us!Gary* Gary serves on the South Carolina Real Estate Commission as a Commissioner.

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Will Wilson, CEO of Antithesis, to discuss the evolution of software testing from traditional approaches to cutting-edge deterministic simulation. Will explains how his team built technology that creates "time machines" for distributed systems, enabling developers to find and debug complex failures that would be nearly impossible to reproduce in traditional testing environments. They explore how this approach scales from finding novel bugs in Super Mario Brothers to ensuring the reliability of critical financial and infrastructure systems, and discuss the implications for a future where AI writes increasingly more code.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/software-testing-with-will-wilson/–Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

What if you could use cost segregation not only to accelerate depreciation, but also to reduce capital gains taxes and even offset income across multiple properties? In this episode, Angel Williams continues her conversation with Gian Piazza from KBKG to dig deeper into advanced tax strategies. Gian explains how energy efficiency incentives like Section 179D and PACE loans work, what passive investors need to know before starting, and why planning ahead for recapture and 1031 exchanges is so important. You'll also learn how small property owners can now access tools once reserved for big investors, and how long-term planning creates significant wealth-building opportunities.

In this episode of Quality Talks With Peggy O'Kane, NCQA President Peggy O'Kane speaks with primary care and health IT veteran Dr. Marc Overhage.Marc notes that many of health care's challenges are design problems—and design problems can be solved. The conversation highlights trailblazing models like hospital-at-home and the need for better data availability at the point of care. Marc's optimism about the next five to ten years is rooted in the belief that we have the tools, data and momentum to improve not just a handful of care processes, but thousands.Topics Marc and Peggy explore include:How a Transactional Mindset Undermines Quality: Marc sees what he calls “transactional” care as a design flaw that reduces care to disconnected snippets, leaving patients confused and providers unable to coordinate or focus on wellness.Clinical Decision Support as a Design Solution: Embedding quality into the care process is preferable to measuring quality after-the-fact.The Limits of Traditional Quality Measurement: Retrospective scoring frustrates clinicians and fails to drive real-time improvement. A better way is possible!Redesigning Hospitalization: Marc highlights how better logistics, financial models and care coordination—like hospital-at-home—could reduce unnecessary stays and improve transitions of care.Key Quote: It really is a question of how do you build quality into the care process, not measure it in. We all know that measuring into a manufacturing or a creation process is a limited strategy. It only goes so far.And the Toyota Production System, the Danaher Business System, other very successful models are predicated on, How do you build quality into the process as it's happening, have the ability to pull the chain and stop the production line if something isn't working, and continuously improve it?How do you stop and say, Okay, why are so many of our patients not being fully treated for their congestive heart failure?

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Bean, a pseudonymous defense industry expert, to explore the intellectual crossovers between military and civilian domains. The conversation reveals how the defense industry's fundamental constraint of having only one customer (a monopsony) creates entirely different incentives than tech, leading to conservatism and 30-50 year product lifecycles. Bean argues that drones are largely modern iterations of cruise missiles we've had since the 1950s, and explains why current anti-drone defenses make swarm attacks less threatening than headlines suggest.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/defense-with-bean-of-naval-gazing/–Sponsor:This episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

Donald Trump's so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” took a sledgehammer to U.S. climate policy, including tax credits for clean cars and appliances. These incentives were helping people cut pollution, lower their energy bills, and make their homes more comfortable. Trump's bill eliminates the credits by the end of this year.  Wait, don't change the channel—because these incentives haven't expired yet! So for the next few months, there is a federally-funded BLOWOUT SALE on clean tech. Shop until your energy bills drop! In this episode of A Matter of Degrees, we break down which credits are expiring, what they can do for you, and how to take advantage of them before they're gone. We also dive into how the incentives were cutting pollution, improving people's lives, and transforming our economy. Finally, we talk about what's next for household electrification and how we can continue to make progress under the current administration.  To help tell these stories, we bring on Ingrid Malmgren, the Senior Policy Director at Plug In America. Visit pluginamerica.org to learn more about electric vehicles and how to get one before federal incentives expire at the end of September. We're also joined by Sarah Gracia, a Senior Go Solar Help Desk Associate at Solar United Neighbors.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop speaks with Juan Verhook, founder of Tender Market, about how AI reshapes creativity, work, and society. They explore the risks of AI-generated slop versus authentic expression, the tension between probability and uniqueness, and why the complexity dilemma makes human-in-the-loop design essential. Juan connects bureaucracy to proto-AI, questions the incentives driving black-box models, and considers how scaling laws shape emergent intelligence. The conversation balances skepticism with curiosity, reflecting on authenticity, creativity, and the economic realities of building in an AI-driven world. You can learn more about Juan Verhook's work or connect with him directly through his LinkedIn or via his website at tendermarket.eu.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Stewart and Juan open by contrasting AI slop with authentic creative work. 05:00 – Discussion of probability versus uniqueness and what makes output meaningful. 10:00 – The complexity dilemma emerges, as systems grow opaque and fragile. 15:00 – Why human-in-the-loop remains central to trustworthy AI. 20:00 – Juan draws parallels between bureaucracy and proto-AI structures. 25:00 – Exploration of black-box models and the limits of explainability. 30:00 – The role of economic incentives in shaping AI development. 35:00 – Reflections on nature versus nurture in intelligence, human and machine. 40:00 – How scaling laws drive emergent behavior, but not always understanding. 45:00 – Weighing authenticity and creativity against automation's pull. 50:00 – Closing thoughts on optimism versus pessimism in the future of work.Key InsightsAI slop versus authenticity – Juan emphasizes that much of today's AI output tends toward “slop,” a kind of lowest-common-denominator content driven by probability. The challenge, he argues, is not just generating more information but protecting uniqueness and cultivating authenticity in an age where machines are optimized for averages.The complexity dilemma – As AI systems grow in scale, they become harder to understand, explain, and control. Juan frames this as a “complexity dilemma”: every increase in capability carries a parallel increase in opacity, leaving us to navigate trade-offs between power and transparency.Human-in-the-loop as necessity – Instead of replacing people, AI works best when embedded in systems where humans provide judgment, context, and ethical grounding. Juan sees human-in-the-loop design not as a stopgap, but as the foundation for trustworthy AI use.Bureaucracy as proto-AI – Juan provocatively links bureaucracy to early forms of artificial intelligence. Both are systems that process information, enforce rules, and reduce individuality into standardized outputs. This analogy helps highlight the social risks of AI if left unexamined: efficiency at the cost of humanity.Economic incentives drive design – The trajectory of AI is not determined by technical possibility alone but by the economic structures funding it. Black-box models dominate because they are profitable, not because they are inherently better for society. Incentives, not ideals, shape which technologies win.Nature, nurture, and machine intelligence – Juan extends the age-old debate about human intelligence into the AI domain, asking whether machine learning is more shaped by architecture (nature) or training data (nurture). This reflection surfaces the uncertainty of what “intelligence” even means when applied to artificial systems.Optimism and pessimism in balance – While AI carries risks of homogenization and loss of meaning, Juan maintains a cautiously optimistic view. By prioritizing creativity, human agency, and economic models aligned with authenticity, he sees pathways where AI amplifies rather than diminishes human potential.

On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Ira Zlotowitz. Ira explains GPARENCY's fixed-fee “mortgage assurance” model—$4,500 to shop your deal, create real competition among lenders, and hand you the best term sheet without taking a closing commission. He contrasts this with traditional brokers (exclusives, success fees, misaligned incentives), and shows how owners can use lender data (via GPARENCY's G‑Placer) to find active banks for niche assets and markets. They dig into term‑sheet timing, bridge‑loan speed, how to approach lenders with a crisp “teaser,” and Ira's money‑back guarantee if a clearly better deal surfaces after his process.
