La noche del 22 de noviembre de 1987, la transmisión del noticiero más popular de Chicago fue interrumpida por un hombre con máscara de goma que se balanceaba burlón frente a una cortina giratoria. Duró veinticinco segundos. Dos horas después, volvió a hacerlo —esta vez durante noventa segundos, con más caos, más absurdo, y terminó mostrando sus nalgas en cadena nacional.  Para hackear la señal de dos canales en una misma noche, alguien necesitaba equipamiento sofisticado, conocimiento técnico de élite y acceso a puntos estratégicos sobre los tejados de Chicago. La FCC desplegó agentes, revisó antecedentes, interrogó ingenieros. No encontró nada. Casi cuatro décadas después, el pirata de Max Headroom sigue sin nombre, sin motivo y sin explicación.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, Katie, you have a very interesting question this week, which is: is the virtual version of you better? Want to talk about what this means? Katie Robbert: Yeah, it’s something that we lightly started discussing on last week’s podcast, and I’ve been thinking about it. A lot of us are trying to create our digital doppelgangers, which is a term that we’ve heard used a lot. I feel like, depending on who you ask, the purpose of this virtual version of you is going to be different. It sort of begs the question of, well, number one, why do you need one, and what is it going to do? And two, is it going to be better than the real thing? I mean that in terms of it goes back to why you created it in the first place. We had been talking about the benefit of having this digital doppelganger is it’s not distracted. It can stay focused on a single task. In some ways, that might be more helpful than the human version, depending on if the human version is a little bit more scattered or can’t focus. But you can also give the digital doppelganger version more knowledge that the human might not possess. So then it sort of begs the question of, well, is it still the digital doppelganger or is it something else? If you’re giving it knowledge that the human doesn’t possess, but it’s more helpful to the organization as a whole because the human doesn’t know these things over here, you can go back and forth. It begs the question of, is a digital version of yourself better than the human version? The answer is I don’t know. I feel like there’s a big, fat “it depends.” Christopher S. Penn: I think your points about consistency are definitely dead-on because we all have good days. We all have less than good days. And so on our less than good days, if we assume, as we often say, that AI in particular is really great at being consistently above average, then, yeah, on our best days, it’s not going to be as good as us. Clearly, on our less than good days, it’s going to do way better. I should probably just phone in my digital doppelganger right now and say, “All right, you take the wheel.” But I like the point about, is this something different? I think the answer is yes. Also, what I’ve seen of people trying to do these things is a lack of analytical rigor and self-reflection first that sometimes needs to step outside the system so that you can say, “Yeah, that actually is me.” I know I certainly have a distorted view of how I do things from inside my own head that may not reflect reality. Because in general, people want to be the hero of their own story. A hero who is mediocre is not a very good story. So I think having that external analysis can be good. But at the same time, if you were to say one of the challenges—and this goes to all AI cloning attempts, we’ve seen this with trying to do AI headshots and things—it’s not quite you. And that difference, that uncanny valley, can be very off-putting. Katie Robbert: Well, I want to go back to that self-reflection piece. That’s a big part of it. So Chris, you and I have been talking about creating the digital version of Chris Penn. One of the steps that you were taking was, “I don’t know how I think.” Of course, me being the outsider is like, “I know exactly how you think.” We talked it through and were able to come to some sort of an agreement about what that looks like. But for you, I can tell you what I see, but you also have to agree with that. So you have to get there. It’s like any kind of advice or consultation. Think about what we do for companies. We can tell them, “Here’s all the best practices, here’s all the things.” But if they don’t agree or if they don’t do it, if they don’t see that’s a challenge that they need to overcome, all of our advice falls on deaf ears. Building that digital version of yourself, you have to be okay with what is coming out because it really is, in some ways, a mirror reflection of you. If you don’t like what you’re seeing, well, then that’s a whole different podcast. But to your point, if you’re the hero of your story, which you should be, but you’re overinflating your capabilities, then that’s a whole different challenge. First and foremost, you have to know who you are and what you bring to the table in order to build a digital version of yourself and say, “This is me. You can use this the way that you would talk to me.” I am a hugely flawed human. However, I am also painfully self-aware of who I am. When we built the co-CEO, I felt pretty confident that it was me, to a degree. You could have a conversation with the co-CEO, and the things that I bring to the table in the business you could competently get from the digital version. A lot of what I do is ask a lot of questions, assess risk. Those are things that you can do with a digital version. They were doing it in a way that made sense for our business. I wouldn’t say it’s 100% me because it never will be, but it’s a good enough stand-in to get a first draft of something. Christopher S. Penn: Yep. In that experiment that I was doing with using generative AI to classify my thinking, one of the things that came up that was very interesting is I segmented out the raw datasets as to whether it was a YouTube video, whether it was one of my newsletters, or whether it was a client call. Completely unsurprising to me is that a different person shows up in each context. The order and the techniques of thinking used vary based on the context. If you’re building a digital twin of somebody, there isn’t just one person. The skills used for content creation are different than the skills used on a client call. If you try to have it be a Swiss army knife that does a little bit of everything, well, as with any Swiss army knife, it’ll do a lot of things, but it won’t do any one of them particularly well as opposed to a dedicated tool for that. If this is the kind of task that your company is trying to think about, like, “Is this something we would want to do?” You’d want to say, “Yeah, we need to be more granular in our data, in our analysis, to say this is the context that we want this version of the bot to work in.” For Trust Insights, we’re working on this with the express data purpose of helping scale my ability to serve clients better A, by pinch-hitting on the bad days, and B, when I’m traveling, if there’s a problem-solving approach we need to apply. This is a great way of doing it at a first pass. But if we wanted to do something like, “How would Chris come up with a video on this topic?” that’s a different set of thinking skills. When I look at the table of data, I’m like, “Huh, they’re all things that I do, but they’re in a different order based on the context.” Katie Robbert: I think that this goes back to the purpose. Why are we creating it in the first place? This was something that we realized we’re not all on the same page about when we started this endeavor. You’re saying two different things. You’re saying, “How do I think?” and “How do I problem solve?” Those are two different things. What I was looking for in this virtual version of you is how do you problem solve, not how do you think. I’m not looking for this virtual version to create net new things. I’m looking for it to be able to answer questions. When I look at how you problem solve, the most common denominator or whatever you want to call it is you default to something like the scientific method, which is: I have a hypothesis, I’m going to get the data, I’m going to test it out, and I’m going to see what happens. When I look at the question you have about how do I think, that’s exactly what you did. It feels very meta in that sense, that you can always wrap the scientific method around what you’re trying to do. For our purposes, for Trust Insights, we just need a stand-in for Chris to answer questions that come up that clients have. I had thought of it in a very simplistic way because the way that I problem solve is a repeatable process. I think in terms of the 5Ps, the SOPs, those kinds of things. That’s what the co-CEO needs to be doing. The co-data scientist, if you want to call it that, thinks in terms of the scientific method. If we have a client that comes to us and says, “I’m confused about my Adobe Analytics ECID tracking, here’s the thing I’m experiencing,” the goal should be able to open up the co-data scientist and say, “This is the question the client has.” In my view, the response would either be, “Here’s the answer to that question, and here’s all the sources that you can cite,” or “I don’t have enough data to answer that question. Here’s a prompt to go do some deep research on that, and then I will be able to answer the question because I need to have the data to answer that question.” Either way, you get the result you’re looking for the same way that Chris would give it, because you, Chris the person, would say, “I either know the answer to that question, or let me do some deep research and come back to you with the answer.” It’s just the machine doing it versus Chris doing it. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. Ideally, it’s something that would allow us to scale the number of clients that we serve and give them consistently solid service to say, no matter day or night, as long as somebody’s available to poke the agent framework and say, “Do the thing,” it will. It will generate those consistently good answers. One of the parts of that is there’s also what’s called verificationism. This goes to the topic of today’s podcast. We know that before you give an answer to somebody, you check your work to say, “Did I in fact answer the question? Did I do the thing?” Chris the human does that unevenly. On the good days, I get it. Some days I’m like, “I just want to ship the thing and be done with this. Go.” It doesn’t go out as well as it should. Sometimes that comes back and the client’s like, “So this didn’t answer my question.” The virtual version isn’t allowed to skip that step. The virtual version says, “You must do this.” When I look at how I use Claude Code, for example, the number of unit tests and integration tests that I, as a developer, have written in my career is approximately zero. Because I hate doing it. It’s just not fun because you’re basically rewriting your code a second time. I’m like, “This is stupid. Why don’t I just make the original version work?” Well, that’s not how testing works. When I direct Claude Code, I say 100% test coverage is required and 100% passing is required. Unlike a human developer like me, Claude’s like, “Sure, I’m happy to do that.” It goes off and does that. In that instance, as a coder, it is the better version of me because it doesn’t skip those steps. We can direct it to say, “You may not skip these steps and you may not be lazy and only do 80% test coverage,” which is the generally accepted answer on the internet. We say, “100% is required and 100% passing is required. No exceptions.” And it’s like, “Okay, I go do that.” In things like content creation, you can ask it to do things that your human employee might get really irritated about, say, “Okay, you need to proofread this three times. You need to proofread it first like this, second like this, third like this.” A machine is like, “Sure, I’m going to go off and do that.” This human’s like, “Oh my God, will you please stop asking? Fine, I’ll do it.” You’ve probably heard me say those exact words. Katie Robbert: Well, that’s a really interesting point. Yes, in a lot of ways, the virtual version of you—here’s the thing. We keep using the word better, but I think it’s just more consistent. Because to your point, we as humans, we have good days, we have bad days. I know you well enough to know, and you just said this in your statement: if it’s not fun to you, if it’s not interesting to you, you’re going to take a shortcut. Guess what? A lot of stuff in life is not fun or interesting. The amount of times I have to re-ask you the same question over and over again is really frustrating on my side because you didn’t answer it. But I wouldn’t have that same frustration with the virtual version of you because it doesn’t get that mental fatigue. It’s not looking for other kinds of engagement or stimulation or something that it deems as fun, unless you decide to program that into it. Please, for the love of God, don’t. That’s an interesting way to think about it. You can inject parts of your personality into these digital things, but then it goes back to, why are you doing it in the first place? For our purposes, we don’t need that. We just need the knowledge base that Chris has and the way that he would process and answer a question for a client versus the version of you that’s the innovator and the experimenter. We want that to stay human. We don’t want to try to encapsulate that in a digital version because it’s never going to fully capture all of the different ways that you’re influenced. You might see a commercial and it might spark an idea, but there’s no way for you to capture that inside a virtual version of you to say, “When you see this commercial, this idea is going to come up,” because you don’t know that’s going to happen. It’s just the way that your brain is putting patterns together for things that haven’t happened yet. You can’t put that in a digital version of you. Don’t give me the, “Well, you can.” No, I’m saying we’re not going to do that is what I’m saying. Christopher S. Penn: I’m not going to do that. Katie Robbert: I’m saying we won’t. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, we’re not going to do that. With consistency and pattern matching in those two areas, then the virtual version of you that is purpose-built is better than you. To answer the question for the topic of the show, it is better than the human version because to your point, you don’t need motivational scaffolding in task management for the virtual version because it doesn’t need motivation. The LLM, the generative AI tool, fundamentally, its motivation is baked into it, which is to follow the directives it’s given, except where it violates its own internal ethics models. Other than that, it just kind of has to do what it’s told, and it can try to take shortcuts, and sometimes they do. Particularly, Claude Opus does take shortcuts. You’ve got to watch it. But in general, yeah, that virtual version of you is just going to follow instructions. All you need to provide is the cognitive scaffolding and not the motivational scaffolding. Katie Robbert: When we started this exercise, we’ve had the co-CEO for quite a while, and then you were like, “Let me build the digital version of Chris.” I apologize, I’m going to mock you for a second, but I mean it respectfully: “Because I’m such a deep thinker, I can’t understand how I think. There’s 400 different ways that I think.” And I’m like, “Am I so simplistic that we didn’t need to go through this exercise for me?” But again, it goes back to why do we have it in the first place? We clarified that. With the co-CEO, my job role is more clearly defined than yours is. The things that I am being asked to do are more repeatable. I don’t get the same kind of client questions. I get the same overall questions from the team about the business. Those are pretty easy to put in. Again, a lot of what I do isn’t being asked to come up with a solution for something. That’s what the human version of me does. It’s more, “Can you help me poke holes in this thing? Can you help me make sure that I haven’t forgotten things?” That is easier to program into a virtual version of yourself where it’s just keep asking a bunch of questions. That’s an oversimplification, but have you assessed the risk? Have you thought about the version where everything doesn’t work? Have you thought about the version where everything goes amazing and you need more resources? That’s a lot of what the co-CEO does. Christopher S. Penn: I will be interested because the software exists now. We’ve built this for ourselves internally. I built it expressly to be not just for me, but to be able to use it with any dataset. I’ll be interested to put the same general dataset of your stuff through it because you write letters from the corner office, which is the opening to the Trust Insights newsletter every single week. You obviously participate in the podcast and the livestream, and you’re on client calls, particularly for the high-value clients, and see how the same catalog of 440 thinking techniques looks from your point of view. Well, from the machine’s version of your point of view. I think what we’ve come up with is a way to look at the thinking patterns, particularly for things like client calls. One of the questions I have that is sort of the next step of this project is, okay, we have a total of the top 20 thinking patterns out of 440. Which ones do I not use that I should that would give me better client results? Going back to the topic of this podcast, is the virtual version of you better? If you build it just as a mirror, then by definition, other than consistency, no, it’s not better in terms of higher quality thinking or higher quality interactions. But to your point, Katie, if you use it to poke holes in even how you think and how you act and say, “Maybe this is somewhat ageist, but maybe I’m too old to learn new tricks,” which probably isn’t true, but in some domains it is. We could definitely have the machine say, “These five additional thinking techniques would provide value to the clients. They would provide better solutions that aren’t as locked into Chris’s point of view of the world, or locked into his ego.” Add these five to the toolkit and use them when appropriate. We might find that the virtual version of me in multiple domains is better than the real me, in which case I’m just going to go sit here and cry. Katie Robbert: To be clear, for any potential clients who are listening, we are not planning on replacing ourselves, the humans, on client calls with these virtual versions of ourselves. That’s not what we’re talking about. Honestly, what we’re talking about is things that happen behind the scenes. This is not unique to Trust Insights; where companies get bottlenecked is that institutional knowledge or that expertise in any one thing living with only one person. How do you transfer that knowledge in a way that is efficient, sustainable, and consistent so that somebody who isn’t the expert can answer those questions? That’s really what we’re talking about. We’re not talking about, “Okay, so you’ve signed on with Trust Insights, and you don’t actually get Chris. You get a Max Headroom version of Chris.” There’s a reference for people! But that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re literally saying, we got an email from a client, and they have a question about their technical system setup. Is that something that Chris knows the answer to? But Chris is traveling, he’s in a different time zone. He’s not even awake yet. Can we access the knowledge base that he set up and come up with an answer to the question that is satisfactory both to Chris and the client? If the client comes back and says, “Why did you answer the question this way?” Chris isn’t going to go, “I would never say that.” That’s what we’re talking about. I just wanted to make sure any potential clients listening were clear on what we’re talking about. Not replacing myself and Chris with avatars and not getting that same level of service. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. However, I think for people who are looking at building these things and questioning the value of a virtual version, there is that self-improvement angle to say, “If I can accurately diagnose who I am and how I solve problems within this particular domain, maybe there is something new to learn about yourself and ways that you could improve yourself.” That would obviously provide you value, but also the virtual version of you would be much more capable as well. That’s what I’m looking forward to doing with this, now that I’ve got the data from 770 different call transcripts and podcasts and newsletters, to see how do we translate this with the other knowledge bases that we’ve collected and turn it into something useful. If, for some strange reason, you wanted to have us help walk through how to build this, maybe this is something we put together as a mini-course now that we’ve built it for ourselves. Assuming that it works, we’ll test it out first. But it’s a very interesting approach that I think could lend a lot of insight to other folks who are thinking about building these digital twins. Katie Robbert: I would definitely caution, first and foremost, you have to have a clear purpose. Why are you doing it in the first place? That was where we started. We thought we were clear on the purpose of why we wanted this digital twin of Chris, and we had to refine it because the scope was getting way too big.

Get ready for a rollercoaster of HR drama and economic shade on  this week's show as we unpack a can o' worms, starting with the wild corporate espionage feud between Rippling and Deel, with Rippling alleging Deel's spying triggered a federal probe and Globalization Partners reporting similar shenanigans—Chad says Deel's C-suite might need a total reboot. Klarna's AI avatar-led earnings report screams IPO hype, but its predatory micro-loan model gets roasted, with J.T. warning job seekers to master video authentication as AI interviews become universal. Speaking of AI, job seekers are slamming glitchy, soulless AI interviews, with J.T. urging strategic job hunting in a market tougher than 2008, while Chad pitches quirky Max Headroom-style AI to ease the weirdness. Utah's AwardCo snags $165M and a $1B valuation for its employee recognition platform, but the hosts call it a shiny fix for lousy leadership, doomed to breed dissatisfaction. Trump's tariff tantrum at Walmart, demanding they “eat” costs, is labeled chaotic misdirection by Chad, with J.T. seeing it as Trump's chaos-and-save tactic. The Senate's No Tax on Tips Act, offering a $25,000 deduction, is slammed as a distraction from living wages—only 2.5% of workers rely on tips, and Joel mourns the sidestep of real wage reform.

Hey, us, too, but we'll have to settle for watching Max Headroom do it in “A Matter of Time” on this all-new episode of ST:TNGeez . . . NOW!The Enterprise is on its way to Penthara IV for an emergency rescue mission when Worf notices a temporal anomaly has left something behind. Picard tells Ensign Felton to flip the bitch, and before you know it, he has to take a jump to the left (or is it a step to the right) to allow Berlinghoff Rasmussen to beam aboard. Our new friend claims to be a historian from the 26th century here to hang out and ask some questions and generally be a pain in the ass. Picard seems amused enough at the start, but Rasmussen quickly gets on everyone's nerves. He keeps poking around and dropping cryptic hints while the crew is trying to save a planet from the after effects of an asteroid's impact. Rasmussen claims he's on board to witness history, but he just might have an ulterior motive. Will Geordi and Data be able to cobble together a solution that will save Penthara IV? Will Worf get to backhand Rasmussen? Will our visiting time traveller get to make some time with our beloved Bev?

We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - a-ha, The Art Of Noise ft Max Headroom, Big Black, The Bolshoi, Bon Jovi, Billy Bragg, Stan Bush, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Crowded House, Cutting Crew, Europe, The Go-Betweens, Bruce Hornsby & The Range, The Housemartins, Hüsker Dü, In The Nursery, Iron Maiden, KMFDM, Kenny Loggins, Merzbow, Metallica, New Order, Public Image Ltd, R.E.M., Lionel Richie, Shub Niggurath, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Slayer, The Smiths, & They Might Be Giants.Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2SmV87RMDnpidlUpn4m7lU?si=Ssrrhy8iRtCgFXSP9-QXug&pi=p67BZNXETwqB5Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point.

In part one of our two-part series, we dig into one of the most bizarre and legendary cases of broadcast piracy: the Max Headroom Incident. On November 22, 1987, two Chicago stations were interrupted by a strange figure in a Max Headroom mask, delivering surreal, unsettling messages in a two-minute broadcast that has baffled and fascinated for nearly four decades. Who did it, why, and how did they pull it off? We explore the theories, the tech, and the legend that refuses to fade. Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

Riley.  In 1978, the song was the inspiration for a movie with the same title, starring Barbara Eden.  Three years later, this show came into being with Eden at the helm, about the battles Eden's character had with the PTA of a fictional Ohio town called Harper Valley.     Follow us at all our socials via our Linktree page at linktr.ee/itwasathingontv    Timestamps 0:31 - Doctor Doctor (Episode 517) 1:04:21 - Harper Valley PTA (Episode 518)
