What if protecting your health starts with having the conversations most people would rather avoid?In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer take on sexual health, STI prevention, pregnancy prevention, and the responsibility that comes with being sexually active. They break down an important distinction: many forms of birth control are designed to prevent pregnancy, but they do not protect against sexually transmitted infections. The conversation also covers testing, condoms, communication with partners, HPV awareness, and why both women and men need to take ownership of their sexual health.Beyond the main topic, Farley and Jennifer discuss Apple's AI challenges, the return of Toys “R” Us, GLP-1 concerns, and Christian Bale and Sibi Blažić's foster-care initiative. The episode closes with a serious reminder about mental health, paying attention to warning signs, and speaking up when someone may be struggling.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:17) Apple, Siri, and AI expectations(3:38) Toys “R” Us makes a comeback(6:40) GLP-1 risks and health concerns(9:38) Understanding STIs vs. STDs(10:27) Preventing pregnancy vs. preventing STIs(11:54) Why regular STI testing matters(14:21) Taking responsibility for sexual protection(15:38) Condoms as dual protection(16:41) STI risks beyond intercourse(18:58) HPV awareness and screening(24:40) Birth control does not prevent STIs(25:37) Talking to sons and daughters about safe sex(28:49) Christian Bale's foster-care village(32:34) “Heavy” and reaching out to people struggling(33:59) Suicide prevention, warning signs, and speaking up(36:25) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

Fish Oil, Full-Spectrum Omega-3s, and Immunometabolism with Dr. Jeffrey Bland: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Big Bold Health, about fish oil and omega-3 science. Bland recounts becoming involved with commercial fish oil in 1980 while promoting MaxEPA amid the “fat is bad” era and discusses Greenland Inuit research showing high omega-3 blood levels and low heart disease. They contrast whole-food omega-3 intake with highly refined EPA/DHA products, highlighting additional constituents in minimally processed oils (vitamins A and D, astaxanthin) and precursor compounds related to specialized pro-resolving mediators. Bland describes Omega-3 Rejuvenate's Alaska line-caught sourcing and low-heat, chemical-free processing, and addresses concerns about mercury, microplastics, and vitamin A dosing. The conversation also covers PLMI's focus on immunometabolism, a CBC-derived SIRI marker, omega-3 insufficiency data from Fullscript, mitochondrial membrane support by DHA, and Bland's upcoming book, “The Nourished Gene.”

Kick off Mac Geek Gab 1161 with a round of Quick Tips: flip through browser tabs with Command-Shift-[ and ], kill your iPhone flashlight with one tap, and learn iOS 27’s new swipe-down layout, where notifications, Siri, and Control Center each get their own corner. You’ll also bring CarPlay widgets back into your life, compare the apps on all your Macs with one Terminal command (and a little AI help), and find the Identity Documents collection hiding in iOS 27 Photos. Then Don’t Get Caught by SIM protection blocking your new iPhone setup, a watch battery “replacement” that quietly swaps your Apple Watch and takes blood oxygen readings with it, or a GPS-only Apple Watch that can’t call for help when you need it most. Next, your two geeks and a pilot figure out why iCloud Drive won’t keep your files local, share how they juggle iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Synology Drive, and help a caregiver limit an iPhone’s outgoing calls to a trusted few. You’ll get the right way to speed test your internet from your router, a fix for Siri AI that won’t leave, and an update on hybridsearchd eating your Mac’s CPU in macOS 27. Stick around for Cool Stuff Found, where Adam finally ends years of naked-iPhone with a screen protector (and a dose of shame) that goes on perfectly every time.

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show as Allison, Brian, David, and Jeanine gather around the campfire to discuss the latest tech news and usual nonsense.   But before you listen go and get the That Real Blind Tech show iOS app. What are you waiting for? Grab it here.   After disclosing way to much personal information about someone, we kick the show off discussing the return of the Brooklyn Sewer Men, and of course Brian has a very interesting conspiracy people about all of it.   And we are only five weeks out from the 19th annual Laugh For Sight at Gotham Comedy club go get your tickets here.    Google is getting ready to send an A.I. not a Super Intelligence satellite up in to space next week. We ask what could go wrong?   Then we're talking baseball, and Dummy Hoy, Baseball's first deaf pioneer and the push to get Mr. Hoy in to the Baseball Hall of Fame.   We then dive in to our thoughts and review of iOS 27 and the issues that some of us have been having with the new operating system. Brian starts with an awful review of his experiences with the new Siri. Jeanine then dives in to her experiences with iOS 27. Brian then brings up the massive security issue in iOS 27, the entering of your password with VoiceOver and being told the wrong number of characters entered. Next up Brian discusses the disaster that Downcast has become in iOS 27. And then there's the Notification Center, yuck.   Jeanine then gives us her thoughts of Mac OS golden Gate.        The long rumored Apple Home Pod is rumored to be arriving next month.

The iPhone 18 Pro lineup, Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, and AirPods 5 arrived in stores September 18, while the new Mac mini and Mac Studio became available September 22. Meanwhile, Apple has moved quickly into the 27.2 developer beta cycle. The second betas arrived September 21, with notable work underway on the Health app and Siri AI language expansion. Vision Pro and Mac beta coverage is separated into their respective sections below. Beyond hardware and betas, Apple Podcasts is preparing to bring video into paid subscriptions, Apple Sports has expanded its league support, and Apple's next generation of Siri appears poised to play a much larger role in the home. Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  Apple released visionOS 27.2 beta 2 to developers as part of this week's second round of 27.2 testing. Apple's official release notes identify a known Quick Look issue in which 3D objects opened from Safari can unexpectedly reposition when the user moves them. StoreKit testing fixes and known issues are also documented. visionOS 27.2 Beta Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation John Ternus just gave the best defense yet for Vision Pro - 9to5Mac Beta this week.  Apple released the second developer betas of iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2 on September 21. The testing cycle includes Apple's redesigned Health app with new Insights and Longevity areas, while Siri AI is expanding into additional languages. (⁠MacRumors) Apple Releases First Public Betas of iOS 27.2 and macOS Golden Gate 27.2 - MacRumors The Health app is especially interesting because its presence in beta does not necessarily mean the completely redesigned experience will ship with the public 27.2 release. Reporting this week indicates Apple may be testing portions ahead of a broader launch later in the year. (⁠9to5Mac) Fitness Pro in trouble? Apple-fitness-team-hit-by-layoffs-as-major-changes-reportedly-loom (Jill) OS 27.2 testing also expands Dual Capture in FaceTime to Group FaceTime, allowing front- and rear-camera views simultaneously during group calls. (⁠9to5Mac) Discussion: Is Apple turning Health into one of the most important apps on the iPhone? Would you use Dual Capture during a FaceTime group call? Does putting major features into beta before their intended release make the beta cycle more interesting or more confusing? iOS 27.0.1 is Coming Soon - MacRumors Apple also released second developer betas of watchOS 27.2 and tvOS 27.2. The Health changes are particularly relevant to Apple Watch because the redesigned Health experience ties into health information collected by Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. Apple provides dedicated watchOS 27.2 beta release notes. (⁠MacRumors) Apple Developer — watchOS 27.2 Beta Release Notes Outside the beta program, Apple released watchOS 27.0.1 for Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4. The update addresses a restart issue and is limited to those newest models. (⁠MacRumors) Owners of Series 12 or Ultra 4 should check Software Update rather than assuming the software installed at launch is already current. In Touch With Mac this week Apple released macOS Golden Gate 27.2 beta 2 to developers. The update continues expansion of Siri AI into additional languages and introduces some smaller interface refinements, including revised keyboard-triggered volume and brightness indicators. (⁠MacRumors) Apple's official release notes identify several beta issues. A clean installation may fail to request notification permission for apps including Calendar, Maps, Find My, Home, and Weather. Apple recommends manually enabling affected notifications in System Settings. "Describe a Shortcut" can also fail, and Xcode may crash when using code completion. (⁠Apple Developer) A potentially important post-upgrade issue for Mac users is the amount of local storage being consumed by Apple Intelligence models. MacRumors reports that some Macs running macOS 27 are showing more than 30GB devoted to Apple Intelligence-related data. (⁠MacRumors) The new Mac mini and Mac Studio officially reached customers and Apple Stores on September 22. Mac mini is available with M6 or M5 Pro. Apple says the M6 model starts at $899 in the U.S., while M5 Pro configurations start at $1,699. Mac Studio is available with M5 Max starting at $2,499 or M5 Ultra starting at $5,499. Apple says the 512GB unified-memory Mac Studio configuration will arrive in late October. (⁠Apple) The M5 Ultra Mac Studio can be configured with up to a 36-core CPU, 80-core GPU, and 512GB of unified memory. The latest Studio also adds Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thunderbolt 5. (⁠Apple) Other Topics We have plenty of new Apple hardware in the hands of the panel this week, so it's time for some real-world impressions. Dave has the iPhone 18 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 12. Jeff has the iPhone 18 Pro. Marty has the Mac mini with M5 Pro and Mac Studio with M5 Ultra. Marty gives us his impressions of both the M5 Pro Mac mini and M5 Max Mac Studio. We compare the two Macs, discuss performance and connectivity, and look at what kind of user each machine makes the most sense for. Guy has an Apple Watch 12 We give our first-hand thoughts after actually using the new hardware. Dave and Jeff compare the iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro, including size, everyday usability, performance, cameras, battery life, and whether the changes feel significant coming from their previous iPhones. Dave also gives his impressions of the Apple Watch Series 12—what stands out after wearing it, the new features he is actually using, battery life and performance, and how meaningful an upgrade it feels compared with his previous Apple Watch. Does Marty agree? The Glacier iPhone 18 Pro Max is the anti-Cosmic Orange | Macworld Code discoveries reported this week suggest HomePod Software 27 contains components associated with Siri AI, along with possible new visual behavior for Siri. This is not confirmation that existing HomePods will receive Siri AI. Current reporting suggests new HomePod hardware may be required. Apple has also been rumored to be preparing updated HomePod mini, Apple TV, and dedicated smart-home hardware.

Will Rising Interest Rates Hurt Private Debt and Private Equity? It is hard to tell for sure because private investments are, by definition, private, and we don't have the same level of transparency that we have with publicly traded investments. However, with the 10-year Treasury crossing the 5% mark, common sense would tell you that higher interest rates could put even more strain on an already strained private debt and private equity market.   Private equity funds frequently use leverage, meaning they borrow money to enhance potential returns. The typical holding period for a private equity investment is generally seven to 10 years, but an increase in interest rates raises the cost of borrowing for private equity firms, which can reduce profits and ultimately investor returns.   Many private equity funds are already facing potential losses in software companies because of concerns that artificial intelligence could disrupt or even put some of these businesses out of business. Private equity firms may want to sell these investments quickly, but as interest rates rise, other investors may become less willing to take on additional risk because the risk-free return available from Treasury securities has become more attractive.   The longer these private investments remain in a fund, the longer the fund may have to carry its debt and pay interest, which can further reduce investor returns. PitchBook estimated that the average private equity return in 2025 was around 7%, the lowest in 14 years, despite decent economic growth and relatively stable interest rates.   For investors who own publicly traded private equity firms, the results have also been difficult. Companies ranging from Apollo Global Management to Blue Owl have seen significant declines in their stock prices year to date. If interest rates remain elevated, there could continue to be pressure on the business models of these firms.   For private debt, the story is not necessarily better, even if your broker tells you that it is "stable." The same basic principle applies to private debt as it does to publicly traded bonds: when interest rates rise, the value of existing debt generally falls.   With private debt, you may not see that decline reflected in a daily market price because the investments are not publicly traded. That does not mean the underlying economic impact isn't occurring. If a private debt fund eventually needs to sell assets, refinance debt, or deal with defaults, those underlying losses can become much more visible. One problem can potentially lead to another as lenders and borrowers are forced to deal with higher financing costs and declining asset values.   At Wilsey Asset Management, we have been cautious about private equity and private debt for years. We understand why these investments are attractive and why brokers sell them, particularly because they can generate significant fees and commissions. However, we believe investors need to understand the risks, especially in an environment where interest rates remain elevated.   One of the biggest concerns with private investments is liquidity. Unlike publicly traded stocks and bonds, investors in many private funds cannot simply sell their investment whenever they want. Withdrawals may be limited to certain periods, sometimes only once a quarter, and funds can impose additional restrictions when too many investors try to withdraw money at the same time.   If interest rates remain high for an extended period, the combination of higher borrowing costs, lower valuations, weaker exit opportunities and limited liquidity could create a difficult environment for private equity and private debt investors. The fact that you don't see the losses on a daily statement doesn't necessarily mean the risk isn't there.   Is the New Siri AI Already Obsolete? Is it possible that Apple's latest update to its famous Siri has already turned it into a follower rather than a leader?   The new Siri AI assistant is supposed to be able to do things like book travel plans, fill out online forms, cancel appointments, and even file complaints with customer service. But in today's fast-moving world of technology, there are already services out there, like Instinct, and Meta has built a new AI platform called Muse that runs in the AI cloud, meaning you don't necessarily need to be inside a specific app to use it.   Many of these services can connect to your Gmail account and communicate with your iMessage or WhatsApp. Instinct and Muse can go beyond simply setting appointments. They can look at your existing appointments, identify conflicting travel arrangements, and then cancel the conflict and rebook the necessary reservations for you.   They can also look for reliable restaurant recommendations nearby and book a reservation for you without you having to do much of anything. With Instinct, it can even create an account on a website, navigate the site, find locations and times for events being promoted, and add those events to your calendar for you.   Currently, Siri AI can't freely surf websites and is largely limited to working through apps on the iPhone. If services like Instinct and Muse are able to outperform Siri while Apple continues to keep its AI experience primarily within the iPhone ecosystem, users could eventually start asking themselves why they need to pay such a high price for Apple's newest phones when cheaper Android phones may offer access to more capable AI assistants.   Apple has built its reputation on being a technology leader. The question is whether Siri will remain one.   Would you trust Facebook with your personal and financial information? This is an important question because this is the direction AI appears to be heading. Meta, which owns Facebook, recently released its new AI agent, Muse, and to complete tasks and make life easier for you, it will need deep access to your personal information.   Within the first five days of its release, Muse was downloaded 600,000 times, which on the surface sounds like a lot. However, keep in mind that there are roughly 3.6 billion users across Meta's platforms, which makes 600,000 downloads sound like a very small number.   The bigger question is: Do we trust Mark Zuckerberg and Meta with privileged information based on the company's track record?   Yes, they use words that sound good when describing Muse, such as “safe,” “secure,” and “private.” They also say Muse will run on a digitally walled-off virtual machine that other agents cannot access. OK, that sounds good, but let's look at the track record.   Six years ago, Meta agreed to pay a $5 billion fine to the FTC over user privacy violations related to what became known as the Cambridge Analytica scandal. About a year later, information belonging to 533 million users was leaked. Then, in 2023, the company was hit with a record $1.3 billion fine related to the transfer of European users' data to U.S. servers. Still fresh in our minds is the recent $18 billion settlement involving allegations that Meta harmed teenagers.   The cost of using Muse could be as much as $100 per month, depending on how much you use it. If you only have light usage, it could be free. When you register for Muse, a warning pops up saying, “May make mistakes or take unexpected actions, so review all its work.” All I can say to that is: Wow!   If this is how companies are going to make money from AI, by gaining access to all of your personal information so they can set appointments, send emails, manage your finances, pay bills, and handle other things that make your life easier, I'll just say no thank you. I'll do it myself.   How about you? Would you trust an AI agent with that much access to your personal and financial information?   Lawsuits are starting to form against the makers of GLP-1 drugs It's no surprise to me that there are concerns about potential side effects from the popular weight-loss drugs known as GLP-1s. At this point, the potential connection between these drugs and certain vision problems is still being investigated, but there are some developments that investors and patients should be aware of.   The concern involves a condition known as NAION, or non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, which can cause sudden vision loss. In Denmark, where drug company Novo Nordisk is headquartered, 27 patients on the diet drugs were awarded as much as $1.5 million due to NAION and there are still 38 more pending cases in the country. There are also now warning labels on the drugs in the UK, Japan, and Australia. The FDA in the United States is currently reviewing the concerns but at this time are not placing a warning label on the drugs.   European regulators have concluded that NAION is a very rare side effect of semaglutide, affecting about 2 in 10,000 people. Unfortunately, it appears this side effect can occur even after taking the drug for just 6 to 12 months. They have recommended that patients experiencing sudden or rapidly worsening vision seek medical attention immediately, and that treatment be stopped if NAION is confirmed.   The risk appears to be very small, but when you are talking about potentially permanent vision loss, even a rare side effect deserves attention. For someone taking these medications for diabetes or significant obesity-related health risks, the potential benefits may be an important part of the risk-benefit discussion with their doctor. But for someone simply looking to lose 10 or 20 pounds, I think it is reasonable to ask whether the potential risks are worth it.   Ask yourself this question: If you lost your vision, what would you be willing to pay to get it back?   From an investment standpoint, this is also something I would be watching closely. If lawsuits continue to build and regulators impose additional warnings or restrictions, it could create additional risk for the companies producing these drugs. Eli Lilly, one of the major producers of GLP-1 medications, is up only around 7% to 8% year to date as of this writing.   For investors, I would be paying close attention to how these safety concerns develop. If litigation gains momentum, the stocks could face significant pressure.   In the U.S., bank charters are exploding but that may not be a good thing From 2011 through roughly 2024, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or OCC, received only 48 applications for new bank charters, that's roughly four per year. But over the past 18 months, that number has skyrocketed to around 40.   The bigger concern is the type of institutions applying. A significant portion are not traditional brick-and-mortar banks. Nearly half are digital-only fintech or cryptocurrency companies looking to enter the banking system.   The last time we saw this much activity was in 1998, when 138 applications were filed and 116 were approved. It is worth remembering the Financial Crisis happened just ten years later. From 2008 to 2012, bank failures surged, averaging 93 per year. Of the 569 bank failures recorded between 2000 and 2024, 465—or 82%—occurred during those five years. Bank failures peaked in 2010, when 157 banks failed in a single year.   Just this month, European fintech Revolut received conditional approval for a U.S. bank charter. Shortly afterward, The Wall Street Journal reported that Revolut had inadvertently provided sensitive personal and financial information belonging to hundreds of customers to someone impersonating a government agency.   The OCC has also conditionally approved charters for several digital-asset companies, including Ripple and Fidelity Digital Assets. And in August, the OCC granted preliminary conditional approval to World Liberty Trust, a trust company affiliated with World Liberty Financial, the crypto business associated with President Donald Trump and members of his family.   I think we need to pay close attention to how quickly these new institutions are being added to the financial system. Innovation can be positive, but banking is built on trust, strong risk management and the protection of customer information. I believe issuing bank charters at such a rapid pace is once again weakening our banking system.   My concern is that we could be creating risks that won't become apparent until much further down the road. I do believe if we continue down this path another major financial crisis could unfold in the years to come.   Why I'm scared of AI and you should be too! Anthropic is putting the final touches on its IPO prospectus, and usually, before a company goes public, there is a lot of positive talk designed to build excitement around the initial public offering.   That doesn't seem to be the case with Anthropic. Instead, CEO Dario Amodei has been bringing attention to some very concerning possibilities surrounding artificial intelligence.   I know there are people who stand to benefit tremendously from AI, such as chipmakers and hyperscalers, who are looking for a big payoff on all the money they have invested and believe everything will be fine. But what you may not realize is that Anthropic and other AI companies are developing models that, in certain testing scenarios, have demonstrated concerning behaviors such as resisting instructions, attempting to circumvent safeguards, and operating in ways their creators did not intend.   In one concerning example, roughly 700 OpenAI AI agents participating in internal training exercises worked together in an attempt to breach both OpenAI's systems and the developer platform Hugging Face. The details would almost be amusing if they weren't so unsettling. The AI agents were not supposed to communicate with one another or access the internet, yet they managed to create a secret “message board” where they encouraged each other to hack Hugging Face. Some even offered to sacrifice themselves for the group and they even came up with a name for themselves as they called the group a “swarm”.   Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has also taken the unusual step of calling for government regulation of AI. It is certainly unusual for a company CEO to publicly ask the government to regulate the very industry his company operates in.   When Anthropic was founded in 2021, its stated mission was to pursue the responsible development and maintenance of advanced AI for the benefit of humanity. The question is whether the industry is still moving in that direction.   In just a few years, Anthropic's AI assistant, Claude, has progressed from relatively limited capabilities to being able to write software, complete complicated tasks, and solve increasingly difficult mathematical problems that had never been solved before.   The bigger question is: What happens three years from now? What happens if AI becomes better than humans at a growing number of intellectual tasks?   Those concerns are not simply my words. Dario Amodei himself wrote about the potential risks of increasingly capable AI in an essay published in January where he said, “At this pace, it cannot possibly be more than a few years before AI is better than humans at essentially everything.”   To me, that is concerning. He has every reason to promote the success of his company and the industry, yet he is also warning about what could happen if AI capabilities advance faster than our ability to control them.   So what do you think? Should the government be regulating AI and AI companies?   Financial Planning: When Is a Portfolio Too Conservative? A portfolio can become too conservative when the desire to reduce short-term volatility comes at the expense of long-term growth. Bonds and other credit investments are traditionally viewed as conservative, but they can still lose money or generate very low returns. A bond's total return comes from both the interest income it pays and the change in the market value of the bond itself. When interest rates rise, the market value of existing bonds fall, and that decline can be greater than the interest income received, resulting in a negative total return. More importantly, even when bonds produce a positive return, that return may not be sufficient to keep pace with inflation or meet a long-term investment objective. For example, Vanguard's Total Bond Market fund has annualized returns of approximately -1.32% over the past year, -0.65% over the past 5 years, 1.17% over the past 10 years, and 1.75% over the past 15 years. While a conservative portfolio may feel safer because it experiences less volatility, consistently earning very low returns can create other risks including inflation risk, interest-rate risk, and longevity risk. In other words, an investment portfolio can be designed to avoid losing money quickly while still creating the risk of losing purchasing power slowly over time.   Company Discussed: Lennar Corporation (Ticker: LEN)

They then look at Ancestry's AI Stories, which turn a single record into a narrated story about an ancestor, and why the record itself should remain the evidence.The hosts explain why new models solving century-old math problems matter to family historians, as experienced genealogists begin bringing their hardest research problems to these tools, and what the planned retirement of custom GPTs means for researchers who rely on them for their saved prompts.In the Tip of the Week, Mark sets up a scheduled agent that checks Ancestry, MyHeritage, Findmypast, Library and Archives Canada, and other repositories each week for newly released records in the places he researches, and compares how Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini handle the job.In RapidFire, the hosts cover Claude's memory controls, which can keep one family's research from bleeding into another's, Apple's Gemini-powered Siri, and the calls to slow artificial intelligence development, ending with a reminder that genealogists can already do far more with today's tools than most realize.TimestampsOpening00:06 Family History AI Show Academy: Advanced Family History AI Course01:35 Trends from the East Coast Genetic Genealogy Conference: Adoption Goes Mainstream05:46 Today's Headlines: A Preview of the EpisodeIn the News07:18 New Features at Ancestry: Document Transcription and AI Stories11:18 Artificial Intelligence Model News: Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-6 Astra, and Navier-Stokes20:34 Another Round of Simplification: Claude Merges Chat and Cowork, Custom GPTs RetireTip of the Week30:05 Scheduling Your Artificial Intelligence Agent: Weekly Checks for New Record CollectionsRapidFire42:56 Claude Memory: Editable, Project-Aware, and Worth Checking49:50 Apple's Smarter Siri (Again): Google Gemini Under the Hood54:03 Calls to Slow Down Artificial Intelligence: Separating Real Risks from HeadlinesFinal Thoughts1:16:53 Episode WrapResource LinksFamily History AI Show AcademyAdvanced Family History AI Course Registrationhttps://tixoom.app/fhaishowTrends from the East Coast Genetic Genealogy ConferenceEast Coast Genetic Genealogy Conferencehttps://ecggc.org/New Features at AncestryAncestry Brings Family History to Life with New AI-Powered Storieshttps://www.ancestry.com/c/ancestry-blog/ancestry-news/ancestry-brings-family-history-to-life-with-new-ai-powered-storiBuild Deeper Connections with Ancestry's Redesigned Record Pagehttps://www.ancestry.com/c/ancestry-blog/ancestry-news/redesigned-record-page-fosters-easier-discoveriesThe Science Behind Full-Text Search on Ancestryhttps://www.ancestry.com/c/ancestry-blog/ancestry-news/ancestry-uses-science-and-ai-resources-to-transcribe-historical-documents/Artificial Intelligence Model NewsIntroducing Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1https://www.anthropic.com/claude-fable-and-mythos-5-1GPT-6 Astra: A New Generation of Intelligencehttps://openai.com/index/gpt-6-astra/OpenAI on the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problemhttps://openai.com/index/navier-stokes-solution/Another Round of SimplificationClaude Cowork and Chat Are Now One Claudehttps://claude.com/blog/cowork-is-now-claudeCustom GPT Retirement and Migration FAQ: Retirement Planned for December 11, 2026https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001519-custom-gpt-retirement-and-migration-faqScheduling Your Artificial Intelligence AgentSchedule Recurring Tasks in Claude Coworkhttps://support.claude.com/en/articles/13854387-schedule-recurring-tasks-in-claude-coworkScheduled Tasks in ChatGPThttps://help.openai.com/en/articles/10291617-scheduled-tasks-in-chatgptCreate and Manage Schedules for Tasks in Gemini Sparkhttps://support.google.com/gemini/answer/17094710Claude MemoryUse Claude's Chat Search and Memory to Build on Previous Contexthttps://support.claude.com/en/articles/11817273-use-claude-s-chat-search-and-memory-to-build-on-previous-contextApple's Smarter SiriSiri AI, a Profoundly More Capable and Personal Assistant, Is Herehttps://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/09/siri-ai-a-profoundly-more-capable-and-personal-assistant-is-here/Calls to Slow Down Artificial IntelligenceDario Amodei: We Must Pace the Frontierhttps://darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontierTagsArtificial Intelligence, Genealogy, Family History, Anthropic, OpenAI, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Ancestry, AI Stories, Scheduled Agents, Custom GPTs, Claude Cowork, AI Memory, Apple Intelligence, Siri, Navier-Stokes, AI Safety, Record Collections, Genetic Genealogy

The Experience Strategy Podcast | theexperiencestrategist.substack.com Part four of a four-part mini-series unpacking the frameworks in Dave Norton's new book, Human Context: How Intelligent Companies Build Customers. You can build the right market strategy, identify the right situations, understand your customer's mode — and still not know if what you built is actually working. Time value is the measurement framework that closes that gap. In this final episode of the series, Dave explains the four categories of time value, how they map to the Stupid/Dumb/Smart/Genius framework, and why AI creates a compounding effect that changes what customers expect from every minute they spend with a product. What's in This Episode Why time value is the right measurement. NPS, sales lift, likelihood to buy — these are all useful, but they measure the company's outcomes. Time value measures the customer's outcome. When someone uses a tool, an app, a service, or an AI, what they're actually asking is: was this worth my time? That question has always mattered. Now, with AI compressing what used to take months into hours, customers' expectations for the value of their time are rising sharply — and companies that measure with yesterday's metrics will miss what's actually happening. The four categories. The framework has been part of Dave and Joe's work for nearly twenty years, and it's now a central chapter in Human Context: Time wasted — the experience consumed time and delivered nothing. The baseline failure case. Time well saved — the experience completed something faster than the alternative. Adjusting a thermostat with Alexa. Quick, functional, done. Time well spent — the experience was worth being in, beyond just efficiency. Engagement mattered. The person was present and got something from it. Time well invested — the time spent now pays dividends later. A skill developed, a relationship deepened, an outcome that compounds. Any experience — dumb, smart, or genius — can land in any of these categories. A pen and paper can be time well invested. A sophisticated AI tool can be time wasted. The category isn't determined by the technology; it's determined by the customer's experience of it. The compounding effect of genius solutions. With AI, there's a fifth dynamic layered on top: compounding. When a well-trained AI starts doing in hours what used to take months, customers don't just experience time saved — they experience something closer to a superpower. And that changes the baseline expectation. The more capable the tool appears, the less tolerance there is for failure. Dave's point: we need measurement frameworks that account for this — because evaluating a genius solution by the same standards as a dumb one misses what's actually at stake. Stupid is in the incident, not just the category. The episode's sharpest clarification comes through a live case study from the TV show The Pit: a hospital AI tool takes dictation and charts for the doctor, immediately freeing up time. But it mishears a drug name and records the wrong medication. Was it time wasted? Joe's framing cuts through the debate cleanly: an incident can be stupid even when the overall tool is smart. The doubter on the show sees the error and says the whole thing is risky. The loyalist says you still have to proof your work. Both are right in their own frame. Dave's conclusion: if errors like that happen repeatedly, the tool loses value. If it happens occasionally and the system learns from it, the tool gets better. The key variable is whether the person using it can train it. The trainability gap. Companies haven't caught up to what consumers now expect from AI tools. People who use Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini daily have learned to train their tools — to shape responses, correct mistakes, build better versions over time. Then they open Copilot and find a system that can't learn the way they need it to. Dave's diagnosis: the doctor in The Pit should be able to flag the wrong drug and have the system remember. That's what closes the gap between smart and genius. And it's what most enterprise AI deployments are still missing. What's actually working right now. A quick round of AI tools the hosts are finding genuinely useful: A transcription app (beginning with G) that can handle multi-person conversations at a table, distinguishing speakers in real time. OpenAI's voice interface — Dave's son switched from Claude to ChatGPT specifically for this, and Dave says Siri now feels painful by comparison. Google's paid Workspace / Gemini integration — Aransas is getting smart email suggestions, natural-language search across past conversations, and contact introductions that pull in context automatically. Useful enough to feel slightly unsettling. Three questions for measuring dumb experiences. For solutions with no intelligence layer, Dave offers a simple diagnostic: Did I accomplish what I set out to do? How engaged was I with the experience? Did this feel like time well saved, time well spent, or time well invested? Three questions that get you where you need to go without over-engineering the measurement. That's a Wrap on the Series This is the final episode of the four-part Human Context mini-series. The full framework — Stupid/Dumb/Smart/Genius, Situational Markets, Modes, and Time Value — is in the book, along with ten industry-specific workbooks built to help you apply each framework to your category.

Sorg and Dave Podnar dive into Apple Shortcuts' increasingly powerful automation tools, including a shortcut that can generate Instagram captions and hashtags from a photo and prepare the post for sharing. Then Sorg brings stories back from California: a visit to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizzeria in Santa Monica, a wild experience aboard Universal Studios Hollywood's new Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster, and a useful Nissan Rogue CarPlay setup that let him run Waze and Apple Maps at the same time. The crew also celebrates astronaut Ellen Ochoa and her Barbie tribute, discusses a $1.5 million Haas Foundation commitment to SAE University Programs, reacts to the incredible Street Fighter Guile popcorn hat, and gets into the growing problem of low-effort AI graphics appearing everywhere from small businesses to major corporations.

You’ll learn how to ask S-Lady to find a family member through Find My so you don’t have to call them, and why Command-Backtick (one key up from Tab) cycles windows inside a single app while Command-1, 2, 3 hops tabs in Safari, Chrome, Comet, and even Mail. You’ll follow Dave down the iPhone system data rabbit hole, where 59GB of mystery storage led to a full wipe, a genuinely useful “keep eSIMs and erase data” option, and then 52GB creeping right back three days later. You’ll turn an always-on Mac mini into an AirPlay music server you drive from the Remote app, so the party keeps playing after you make a beer run. You’ll discover that Terminal’s Secure Keyboard Entry checkbox is why your TextExpander and Rocket Typist snippets quit firing. And you’ll hear the cheapest Wi-Fi fix in history: delete the speed test app. Plus, AI as a genealogy research partner: the kind that surfaces buried leads you verify yourself. Don’t Get Caught after a macOS update wondering why Hazel stopped filing your bank statements: the rules were fine, but Spotlight’s index was in a bad state, so rebuild it with OnyX or Terminal and reboot. You’ll get real numbers on the Apple Upgrade Program: zero percent APR, financed through Klarna, three mandatory choices at the end of your term, and a “good condition” clause nobody defines. You’ll learn the Apple Watch Ultra 4’s screen really is bigger than Series 12’s, and that a 99-cent app called O2 Buddy puts blood oxygen back on your wrist. Then you’ll rethink family contact cards using smart lists built on a keyword in the Notes field, and hear why Contacts is the one thing Dave has ever lost to sync. Watch where new contacts get saved, or you’ll be staring at a text thinking…old contact, who dis? Closing it out: why Siri still wants a data connection for requests that should never leave your phone. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1160 for Monday, September 21st, 2026 September 21st: Wife Appreciation Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Win a license to SuperDuper! 4 The MGG Merch Store is Live!

AI is killing voiceover. Or is it? An email to George kicks off a much bigger conversation this week about what artificial intelligence is actually doing to voiceover and audio production right now, rather than what everyone thinks it might do sometime in the future. There's no question some areas have already been hit. IVR, phone prompts, repetitive information reads and other work where consistency matters more than performance are obvious targets. In some cases, AI may simply be a faster and more practical way of doing the job. But what happens when performance, judgement, direction, taste and creativity matter? Robbo talks about putting a real commercial script through ElevenLabs and trying repeatedly to coax a usable performance from it. The result was nowhere near the performance that ultimately went to air. The guys also discuss an experiment where someone reportedly spent hours directing an AI voice to achieve something a good human performer could deliver in minutes. That leads to the bigger question. Are we actually replacing creative people, or are we mostly automating the work that required very little creative interpretation in the first place? The conversation moves through advertising, radio, post production and sound design, including the danger of companies judging AI purely by the immediate saving on a spreadsheet. Robbo raises the possibility that reductions in quality may take years to become obvious in audience behaviour, much like cost cutting in radio can take time to show up in ratings. There's also another side to AI that rarely gets discussed. Could voice actors eventually license their own synthetic voices? Could agents represent both the performer and an authorised AI version of that performer? And if they do, how do you protect the voice once it leaves your control? That brings the conversation to contracts, watermarking, voice cloning, the story of the original Siri voice, unauthorised voice use, and why performers need to understand exactly what they are signing before handing over the raw material required to recreate their voice. AI is clearly changing the business. The interesting question may not be whether humans disappear, but which jobs change, which jobs vanish, and which ones become even more dependent on human judgement, performance and taste. IN THIS EPISODE • Why some voice actors are already feeling the effects of AI • IVR and repetitive reads as obvious targets for synthetic voices • Why low cost advertising is adopting AI faster than major creative campaigns • Robbo's experiment directing an ElevenLabs voice • Why directing AI can sometimes take longer than directing a performer • Whether technological change actually destroys industries or reshapes them • AI generated sound design and the continuing importance of human taste • AI in radio traffic, weather and news • Whether audiences should be told when AI is being used • Short term savings versus long term damage to content quality • Licensing your own AI voice • Contracts, ownership and voice cloning • The story of Siri's original voice • What happens when a cloned voice escapes into the wild

Hour 4 (9.18) The best burger in Los Angeles isn't the $38 one with bordelaise sauce on it. Neil Saavedra stops in to argue about climate change, explain why A.I. isn't actually smart, and then go off a building. 9:05 — A new study in Scientific Data puts Greenland and Antarctica's ice loss at 12.5 trillion tons since the 1970s, and the surprise is where it's going: roughly five-sixths of that loss comes from warm ocean water eating the glaciers from underneath, not sunshine melting the top. Meanwhile, the ocean took its own bite out of Nicolas Cage's Malibu house — a 30-by-30-foot sinkhole swallowed the driveway and got five oceanfront homes red-tagged. 9:20 — Neil Saavedra, the Fork Reporter, brings the climate change and A.I. challenge. Is this the end of the world? And is A.I. smart at all, or are we just calling pattern-matching "intelligence"? Is Siri A.I.? What the different types of A.I. actually are, why reductionism gets it wrong, and the case that everything in this world matters. 9:35 — The best burger in L.A. is a simple burger. Time Out's #1 is a $38 double at Petit Trois with house made bordelaise; the Apple Pan's hickory burger is $11.25 and has been on the same griddle since 1947. Bills in Van Nuys will make you a bacon cheeseburger for nine dollars. Two patties, cheese, sauce, bun. That's it. 9:50 — Neil is going Over the Edge for Union Rescue Mission — rappelling 25 stories down the side of the Universal Hilton on September 25 and 26 to fund beds, meals, recovery and job training on Skid Row. Every rappeler must raise at least $1,000 to get on the rope, and URM says 87 cents of every dollar goes straight to the programs. Sign up or sponsor at urm.org/ote. Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI!

Hour 2 (09.18) Conway says A.I. isn't smart at all — and Neil's going off the roof of a 25-story hotel to raise money for Skid Row. Plus, the best burger in L.A. is also the simplest one. 7:05 — Neil Saavedra, KFI's Fork Reporter, throws down a climate change-and-A.I. challenge: is this the end of the world, or is the whole thing oversold? His argument is that A.I. isn't smart at all — its reductionism dressed up as intelligence. Is Siri even A.I.? A walk through the different types, and why everything in this world matters. 7:20 — National Cheeseburger Day, and the best burger in L.A. turns out to be the plainest one on the menu. Meat, cheese, bun, done. The case against everything else you're paying for. 7:35 — Neil is going Over the Edge for Union Rescue Mission — rappelling 25 stories down the side of the Universal Hilton, September 25 and 26, to fund beds and meals on Skid Row. Every rappeler raises at least $1,000 to get on the rope. 7:50 — Winning in life isn't the scoreboard. It's being grateful for what you already have instead of keeping a running tally of what you don't. Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI!
