In this episode we discuss the rising challenge of AI-generated videos, including deepfakes and synthetic clips that can deceive even a skeptical viewer. Once the gold standard of proof, video content is now increasingly manipulated through advanced AI tools like Sora 2 and Google’s Nano Banana, making it harder to separate reality from fiction. Tom and Scott discuss the differences between malicious deepfakes and poorly-made AI-generated content, identify key indicators that reveal a video might be AI-generated, and explain how these videos are used in social engineering attacks. Practical advice is offered on how to protect yourself and your organization from this emerging threat. ** Links mentioned on the show ** Is that an AI video? 6 telltale signs it’s a fake https://www.zdnet.com/article/is-that-video-ai-6-tell-tale-signs-its-a-deepfake/ ** Watch this episode on YouTube ** https://youtu.be/7Zq4Jxli3vQ ** Become a Shared Security Supporter ** Get exclusive access to ad-free episodes, bonus episodes, listen to new episodes before they are released, receive a monthly shout-out on the show, and get a discount code for 15% off merch at the Shared Security store.

Marcus Roberts: Jazz Piano and Technology's Promise

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on pianist Marcus Roberts.Roberts plays jazz piano like he's lived through its entire history. His style pulls from Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Waller as much as it does from bebop. He spent years in Wynton Marsalis's band, has performed piano concertos with Seiji Ozawa, and today leads The Modern Jazz Generation, a 12-piece ensemble encompassing three decades of musicians.Roberts is here today to talk about something beyond performance. He's one of twenty artists awarded a grant from the Doris Duke Foundation's Performing Arts Technologies Lab. His project tackles a technical problem that's plagued remote music collaboration: latency. He's working to get the delay below 40 milliseconds so musicians in different cities can actually play together in real time.Roberts has been blind since age five, and he's used technology his whole life to access music and create it. From Braille music notation to AI-powered tools, he shows us how tech can serve artists rather than replace them. And that's just a hint of where this conversation goes.(The first two musical excerpts heard in the interview are from a Marcus Roberts live performance, Jazz in Marciac 2024)–Dig Deeper• Visit Marcus Roberts at marcusroberts.com • Check out Marcus Roberts' music on Qobuz • Marcus Roberts on Wikipedia • Marcus Roberts - 60 Minutes Profile "The Virtuoso" (2014)• Jason Marsalis - drummer in Marcus Roberts Trio and The Modern Jazz Generation • Rodney Jordan - bassist in Marcus Roberts Trio • The Modern Jazz Generation - Roberts' 12-piece ensemble founded in 2012• Dig into this episode's complete show notes at podcast.thetonearm.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

Marcus Roberts: Jazz Piano and Technology's Promise

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on pianist Marcus Roberts.Roberts plays jazz piano like he's lived through its entire history. His style pulls from Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Waller as much as it does from bebop. He spent years in Wynton Marsalis's band, has performed piano concertos with Seiji Ozawa, and today leads The Modern Jazz Generation, a 12-piece ensemble encompassing three decades of musicians.Roberts is here today to talk about something beyond performance. He's one of twenty artists awarded a grant from the Doris Duke Foundation's Performing Arts Technologies Lab. His project tackles a technical problem that's plagued remote music collaboration: latency. He's working to get the delay below 40 milliseconds so musicians in different cities can actually play together in real time.Roberts has been blind since age five, and he's used technology his whole life to access music and create it. From Braille music notation to AI-powered tools, he shows us how tech can serve artists rather than replace them. And that's just a hint of where this conversation goes.(The first two musical excerpts heard in the interview are from a Marcus Roberts live performance, Jazz in Marciac 2024)–Dig Deeper• Visit Marcus Roberts at marcusroberts.com • Check out Marcus Roberts' music on Qobuz • Marcus Roberts on Wikipedia • Marcus Roberts - 60 Minutes Profile "The Virtuoso" (2014)• Jason Marsalis - drummer in Marcus Roberts Trio and The Modern Jazz Generation • Rodney Jordan - bassist in Marcus Roberts Trio • The Modern Jazz Generation - Roberts' 12-piece ensemble founded in 2012• Dig into this episode's complete show notes at podcast.thetonearm.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

The show opens with a discussion about the frigid weather sweeping across the country, before moving into Apple's newly announced App Award Winners. The panel covers winners across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro—including the iPhone App of the Year Timbo and Vision Pro winner Explore POV—with commentary on design choices, spatial computing innovation, and whether they personally use the selected apps. Next, the 2025 Apple Podcast of the Year—The Rest Is History—leads the group into a conversation about podcast quality, history storytelling, and the growing depth of Apple's podcast ecosystem. Updates to visionOS 26.2 RC are discussed, including expanded Travel Mode for buses and cars, support for spatial accessories (like Logitech's stylus), and improvements to Freeform. Eric even admits the new features were compelling enough for him to install the beta. Updates for iOS/iPadOS 26.2 RC also make news, adding the Liquid Glass lock screen slider, Reminders alarms, new AirPods Live Translation support in the EU, and Podcasts app refinements. Jeff warns listeners to hold off on macOS Tahoe due to persistent audio issues, reinforcing that stability still matters more than flash. The show then pivots into a major AI segment featuring: • Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5, touted as the new coding champion among AI tools • ChatGPT's new holiday shopping assistant, which impressed some panelists • The controversial discovery of ads in ChatGPT's app code, sparking fears of "enshittification" • A possible Apple Health integration, which launches a passionate privacy debate • Real-world examples of AI massively reducing work time—from spreadsheets to meeting analytics The group revisits Apple's newest patent describing a crease-free foldable iPhone using liquid metal, prompting speculation on durability, user experience, and whether Apple can create a foldable without the hallmark crease. Apple's Year-End Music Charts and Apple Music Replay lead to panelists sharing their most-played artists—ranging from Supertramp to Rush to 80s icons—and poking fun at Dave's unavoidable Taylor Swift top rankings. Apple also releases a beautifully produced Accessibility in College ad, highlighting assistive technologies like magnifier, voiceover, and live captions. The panel praises Apple's leadership in accessible design and speculates on future features for glasses-based products. Finally, the team dives into a major Apple Arcade update, featuring five new games including Subway Surfers+, SpongeBob Patty Pursuit 2, PowerWash Simulator, and more. The topic unexpectedly evolves into a discussion of how simulation games—like power washing or trucking—can offer therapeutic calm for many players.
