Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Kevin Jackson Show—where the news doesn't just break, it gets body-slammed and asked if it wants to tap out. Democrats lost as last year's Easter eggs.No viable 2028 candidate. Midterms shaping up to be a bloodbath. And somewhere in the distance, you can hear consultants whispering, “Maybe we should've spent less time calling voters Nazis and more time, I don't know, finding someone normal.” I saw a poll that claims Democrats are 5 points ahead of Republicans for the midterms.PROVE IT![X] SB – Gavin NewsomDigging through years of random documents. How ‘bout Iran?Oil prices kissing $80 a barrel and your wallet feeling Publisher's Clearinghouse just showed up the pump with your CHECK!Speaking of messes, the fraud cleanup aisle is open for business.Folks are actually calling for Ilhan Omar to get deported. She got so heated about Brandon Gill's petition that she allegedly got in his face and let the profanity fly. Gill, cooler than the other side of the pillow, hit her with: “Do you kiss your brother with that mouth?” Legend. Down the barrel we go: Mohsen Mahdawi, the guy who helped lead those charming pro-Palestinian riots at Columbia, just got ordered deported back to Jordan. Turns out consequences are back on the menu. Meanwhile, over in Ireland, a man nearly got beheaded in Belfast. Leave it to our enlightened American leftists to show class. Rapper Azealia Banks looked at the victim, Stephen Ogilvie, and tweeted something like, “Sheeesh, this MF is so ugly I think the Sudanese guy did him a favor.” Does she kiss her brother with that mouth?And because nothing says “merit-based immigration” like fake credentials, India-born Sriram Krishnan—Senior Policy Advisor on Artificial Intelligence—is voluntarily bouncing after it turns out he bought his degree like it was a term paper on Craigslist.

Microsoft just unveiled a monster of a machine built for local AI. More memory. More horsepower. More everything. Which led Rob and Justin to a question that has almost nothing to do with the hardware. Are we already using more AI than the job actually requires? This conversation starts with Microsoft's latest announcement but quickly turns into something much bigger. When do you actually need a frontier model? When is a smaller model just as good? And what happens when companies stop optimizing for the smartest AI and start optimizing for the right AI? It's a familiar pattern. New technology shows up, everyone assumes bigger is better, and eventually we learn that the best solution isn't the most powerful one. It's the one that's powerful enough. AI may be reaching that point faster than anyone expected. Along the way, Rob and Justin dig into the economics of tokens, why developers should think differently than everyday AI users, and why Microsoft's latest hardware announcement feels like it's missing a piece of the story. They don't pretend to have all the answers. Instead, they do what this podcast does best: pull on an interesting thread until a much better conversation emerges. If your first instinct has been to reach for the biggest model every time, this episode might convince you that the future belongs to the people who know when not to.

A pronounced infrastructure dependence on third-party AI models has emerged across the MSP ecosystem, largely due to the rapid adoption and integration of AI-powered features within vendor products. This structural shift is increasingly opaque, as providers are sold features rather than transparent access to underlying models, leaving MSPs exposed to changes in technologies and policies enacted upstream by vendors or regulators. The episode highlights how this dependency extends to delivery teams and end clients, with operational continuity tightly linked to decisions and actions outside the MSP's direct control. The most consequential development referenced is Anthropic's release and rapid withdrawal of its Fable 5 AI model following a directive from the U.S. Commerce Department, which ordered a cutoff of model access to foreign nationals within 72 hours of public launch. According to published benchmarks, Fable 5 surpassed GPT 5.5 in performance, but the government-mandated suspension exposed how quickly model access can be rescinded. The policy move immediately impacted any MSP or client with offshore or nearshore staff relying on AI features invisibly powered by that model. Further supporting the central theme, companies such as PAX8, Enforcer, and CloudRadio are embedding AI capabilities into platforms used by MSPs to manage Microsoft 365 environments, automate ticketing, and support scalable client operations. In parallel, vendors like Proofpoint are integrating compliance solutions directly with AI model APIs, further entwining risk management tools with the same core AI infrastructures. A Netrio survey cited in the episode found that while 82% of mid-market IT leaders have AI in production, only 26% report organization-wide governance, highlighting an accountability and visibility gap. Operationally, MSPs face heightened contract and vendor risk. Most lack an accurate inventory of which AI models underpin their services and how rapidly these dependencies can be affected by regulatory directives or vendor shifts. The discussion underscores the need for explicit procurement protocols, delivery mapping, and outage runbooks that account for opaque model dependencies. As clients seek greater transparency and contractual assurances regarding model use and continuity, MSPs who anticipate and document these dependencies may be positioned to reduce exposure and establish clearer accountability. 00:00 Switched Off  03:19 Painted Over 05:20 Govern or Absorb 08:41 Why Do We Care?  Supported by: Pax8 Sign up for the SMB Online Conference: www.smbonlineconference.com

My guest today is Bonnie Low-Kramen. Bonnie is one of the most respected voices in the field of executive and personal assistant training, having taught in 14 countries and worked with organizations, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, the Wharton School, and even the British Parliament. But what makes Bonnie's perspective so fascinating is where it all began. For 25 years, she served as the personal assistant to Academy Award-winning actress Olympia Dukakis, giving her a front row seat to leadership, human behavior, communication, trust, pressure, and what really makes people thrive at work or walk away from it. She's the author of the book Staff Matters: People-Focused Solutions for the Ultimate New Workplace and Be the Ultimate Assistant. Her TEDx talk is titled The Real Reasons People Quit, and her insights have appeared in both Harvard Business Review and Forbes. But this is not just a conversation about assistance. It's a conversation about leadership, about respect, about culture, about the people behind the people and the invisible glue that holds organizations together while everyone else is busy chasing the next shiny AI headline. Bonnie brings something we could all use a little more of: real-world perspective from someone who understands that no technology will ever replace the value of deeply human work.

The journey of Developer Confidence Growth rarely follows a straight line. Most developers begin their careers believing technical knowledge alone determines success. Then reality arrives. A challenging project, a difficult mentor, an unfamiliar technology stack, or a room full of people who seem far more experienced can quickly reveal how much there is still to learn. That realization isn't failure. It's often the beginning of a successful career. In a recent conversation with Deloitte Software Solutions Specialist Samuel Otero, a recurring theme emerged: the developers who continue to grow are often the ones who recognize how much they don't know and use that awareness as fuel for improvement rather than as a reason to quit. About Samuel Otero Samuel Otero is a Software Solutions Specialist with Deloitte US and a technology consultant with nearly 14 years of experience spanning enterprise software development, government projects, commercial consulting, and large-scale digital transformation initiatives. His career began with an early Microsoft internship that shaped his approach to continuous learning and technical humility. Since then, he has worked across media, public-sector, and enterprise environments, helping organizations deliver complex software solutions while mentoring the next generation of developers. Based in Puerto Rico, Samuel is also an advocate for developer growth, career development, and practical AI adoption in modern software engineering. Links LinkedIn Developer Confidence Growth Starts with Humility Many developers can remember a moment when their confidence collided with reality. For Samuel, that moment came during an early Microsoft internship. As a young student entering a world filled with highly accomplished engineers and mentors, he quickly discovered that classroom success and industry expertise were very different things. This type of experience is surprisingly valuable. The industry often celebrates confidence, but sustainable confidence is built on understanding limitations. Developers who believe they already know everything stop learning. Developers who understand the size of the field continue improving year after year. The fastest-growing developers are often the ones who are most aware of what they still need to learn. Why Developer Confidence Growth Requires Discomfort Growth rarely feels comfortable. New developers frequently experience uncertainty when they enter professional environments. Meetings are filled with unfamiliar terminology. Business discussions happen faster than expected. Architectural decisions involve tradeoffs that aren't covered in tutorials. Samuel discussed how many interns sit quietly in meetings because they don't fully understand what's happening yet. Rather than seeing that as a weakness, he recognizes it as a natural stage of professional development. The challenge is learning to remain engaged despite uncertainty. Developers who avoid difficult situations often remain stuck. Developers who stay involved despite discomfort gradually build the context and experience necessary for long-term success. The goal isn't eliminating uncertainty. The goal is to become comfortable learning in uncertain environments. Developer Confidence Growth and the Reality of Imposter Syndrome Few topics resonate with developers more than imposter syndrome. At every stage of a career, new responsibilities create new doubts. Junior developers wonder whether they're qualified for their first role. Mid-level developers question their readiness for leadership opportunities. Senior engineers worry about keeping pace with rapidly evolving technologies. Samuel openly shared his own struggles with imposter syndrome and how those feelings followed him throughout multiple stages of his career. The important lesson is that imposter syndrome often appears during periods of growth. When responsibilities expand faster than confidence, uncertainty naturally follows. The mistake is assuming those feelings mean you don't belong. In many cases, they simply mean you're entering a new level of your career. Treating imposter syndrome as evidence of incompetence can stop career growth before it starts. How Mentorship Accelerates Developer Confidence Growth One of the most powerful themes from Samuel's story is the impact of mentorship. Strong mentors do more than answer technical questions. They provide perspective. Experienced professionals understand that beginners don't need perfection. They need guidance, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through real-world experiences. Because Samuel remembers what it felt like to be the quiet person in the room, he actively invests time helping students and junior developers build confidence. This highlights an important truth for organizations. Teams that create mentoring cultures develop stronger engineers over time. Teams that expect people to figure everything out alone often lose talented developers before they reach their potential. Find someone at least two years ahead of you professionally and schedule regular conversations about their experiences and lessons learned. Developer Confidence Growth Is a Continuous Process Technology never stands still. Frameworks evolve. Languages change. New platforms emerge. AI tools are transforming workflows across the industry. Developers sometimes believe confidence arrives when they finally know enough. The reality is different. The most successful engineers understand that learning never ends. Every major technological shift resets part of the playing field. Even highly experienced professionals must adapt, learn new tools, and develop new approaches. Samuel's career demonstrates that long-term success isn't about reaching a finish line. It's about building a mindset capable of navigating constant change. Confidence doesn't come from knowing everything. It comes from trusting your ability to learn what comes next. Conclusion Developer careers are built through repeated cycles of learning, uncertainty, growth, and adaptation. The experiences that challenge confidence often become the experiences that strengthen it. True Developer Confidence Growth happens when engineers stop measuring success by what they already know and start measuring success by their willingness to keep learning. The developers who thrive over decades aren't the ones who avoid discomfort. They're the ones who embrace it as part of the journey. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

Anthropic's most advanced AI models are raising new questions about national security, corporate adoption, and whether businesses can safely build around tools that may be restricted or pulled back by the government.Mike Armstrong and Paul Lane break down why the U.S. government moved to limit access to Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos models, what those restrictions could mean for companies trying to use AI, and why the future of AI may depend on whether firms trust centralized data centers or move toward more secure on-premise systems. They also discuss SpaceX's surge past Amazon and Microsoft by market value, falling oil prices after the proposed U.S.-Iran deal, and why Nvidia's massive debt sale highlights how the AI spending boom is changing the structure of the stock market.

In this episode of The Broadband Bunch, host Pete Pizzutillo sits down with Rob Lawrence, Technology Strategist at Microsoft, to separate the reality of agentic AI from the growing hype surrounding autonomous systems. As organizations race to experiment with AI agents, Rob argues that the biggest challenges aren't the models themselves—they're the operating environments, governance frameworks, data quality, accountability structures, and organizational readiness required to deploy them successfully. Pete and Rob discuss why many AI pilots succeed while production deployments struggle, the return of disciplines like project portfolio management and process engineering, and why data governance may be the most important prerequisite for successful AI adoption. Rob also talks about the role of identity and permissions, the risks of poorly governed agents acting on flawed data, and why organizations need better observability into AI-driven workflows. Along the way, he shares advice for CIOs, CTOs, and broadband operators looking to move beyond experimentation and build a responsible foundation for agentic AI.

We're coming off of our Summer Game Fest-related high, toting a bunch of news from publisher-driven events that occurred after we published our last episode. For starters, the Xbox Showcase... showcased... 28 games in total, of which 24 are coming to PlayStation 5, including State of Decay 3, Senua, and Spyro: A Realm Beyond (not to mention release dates for Halo: Combat Evolved and Fable). But Xbox's peculiar, wishy-washy, and inconsistent behavior likewise makes us wonder what the future might hold for Microsoft releases on Sony's hardware, especially because Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution -- both internally slated to migrate to PlayStation 5 until very recently -- won't appear at all. Meanwhile, Nintendo's newest Direct also had some interesting fodder, including a surprise look at Kingdom Hearts IV, a brand new 2D-HD game in the form of Final Fantasy Resonance, and more. Other news this week revolves around Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6, a new Crazy Taxi adventure in the form of World Tour, a promising magic shooter called Magicians: The Devil's Deal, a fall release date for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, and extremely strong sales figures for Yacht Club's Mina the Hollower. We wrap things up (as always) with listener inquiries! Now that everything has settled, what are our three most-anticipated games, respectively? Should Sony bite the bullet and greenlight Destiny 3? Where's Naughty Dog hiding? Is Colin falling prey to Big Plumber and Big Sewer propaganda by refusing to flush wipes?

When I first heard about Flightcast on the Podbiz show, I thought, "I have to have Rox Codes on my show." I had Rox do a Flightcast demo for members of the School of Podcasting. Rox has worked for Mr. Beast, Microsoft, Facebook and many more.In this episode of the School of Podcasting, I sit down with Rox Codes, co-creator of Flight Cast, the video-first hosting platform built in partnership with Steven Bartlett from Diary of a CEO.If you've been thinking about getting more serious with video podcasting, YouTube growth, or centralizing your stats from multiple platforms, this one is for you.This content may contain affiliate links, meaning I earn a small commission if you purchase through these links at no additional cost to you.

Since 2023, illicit financial activity has surged by $1.3 trillion, reaching an estimated $4.4 trillion globally. The reason isn't a mystery: bad actors have AI now too.In this episode of One Vision Podcast, Theodora Lau sits down with Tyler Allen, CEO of Unit21, to unpack what's happening on the front lines of AI-powered fraud. Tyler was Unit21's founding software engineer and he is now leading the company through a moment he calls "have your cake and eat it too": AI is finally cheaper than the human labor it could replace, and unlike humans, it doesn't get alert fatigue.The conversation goes deeper on:• The fundamental asymmetry between attackers and defenders — and why AI made it worse• Why majority of AI pilots fail (hint: it's almost never the technology) • Why AI makes sense for financial crime prevention and detection • What he asks potential buyers, from ownership and goals, to risk tolerance and more • What every FI should be demanding from their AI vendorsA conversation about the new physics of fraud — and the human consequences of getting it wrong.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I compare Oracle, Microsoft, Google Cloud, and AWS through the lens of backlog growth and future demand. Highlights 00:02 — I talked last week a little bit about Oracle's Q4 results, very strong across the board. I wanted to go into a little more detail today about one number in particular: its RPO, remaining performance obligation. That's contracted business not yet recognized as revenue. 00:18 — Some people refer to it as RPO. It's also known as pipeline or backlog. But with what Oracle reported for Q4, its AI and cloud backlog, pipeline, or RPO is now the largest in the world: $638 billion. It's even bigger than Microsoft's. This reveals a lot about who's got momentum into the future. 01:02 — So, as I said, Oracle's RPO for the quarter ended May 31 was $638 billion, up 363%. A couple of months ago, when Microsoft reported its fiscal Q3 and calendar Q1 numbers for the period ended March 31, it reported RPO of $627 billion, up 99%. So, Oracle beats them slightly on total RPO, but look at the difference in the growth rate: 99% versus 363%. 02:20 — But when we flip the arrow of time from the recent past, which revenue reflects, into the future, that's where we see Oracle is just winning an outlandish share of the business going forward, even more than Microsoft. We're seeing more and more of that pipeline, or RPO, over time convert to revenue for both of these companies. 03:40 — These are multiplier effects, and again, my point here is about who's growing faster and who is moving into leadership positions going forward. Clearly, as Microsoft and AWS led the first chapter of the cloud, here in the AI chapter, the leaders jumping out in front, growing faster, and finding new ways of doing things are Oracle and Google Cloud. 04:12 — Speaking of AWS, how does it fit into this whole RPO tale of the tape? AWS refers to this as backlog, and in its most recent quarter, ended March 31, it said that its backlog was $364 billion, up 49%. For Google Cloud, its backlog is $462 billion, growing at 98%. So clearly, all three companies are outperforming AWS in this backlog/RPO space. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

An underground forum post breaks down how hackers scan, exploit, and cash out on vulnerabilities — and it reads like a step-by-step guide. Meanwhile, Microsoft is catching heat for stonewalling a researcher who found real zero-days, and a new phishing campaign is hitting small businesses through the platforms they trust most. The OG crew — Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellem — digs into this week's biggest cybersecurity headlines with sharp takes and real-world context that practitioners can actually use. 

Unmet generative AI promises, flatlining ROI dashboards, and a relentless corporate appetite for unguided technological progress. By all logic, one would assume we'd take a strategic pause to change course and build foundational human competence. Instead, in a desperate panic, we're witnessing the birth of "AI agent sprawl,” autonomous activity deployed without a map, GPS, or off-switch.  This week, I examine what happens when companies try to use autonomous AI as a strategic shortcut to force unfulfilled promises into reality, and how it's fracturing their operational architectures and budgets. You'll see why we have to move past the open-ended rollout hype, put a full stop on unmanaged agental capabilities, and install strict human oversight mandates before these tools trigger a catastrophic bottom-line crisis.  My goal is to get you off cruise control by highlighting the following opportunities to protect yourself and your organization:​Deconstructing the Autonomy Sliding Scale: We need to stop treating AI agents like a mythical, binary technology that just arrived from space. Autonomy is a volume knob we've been turning up for decades. The real danger occurs when you spin that dial to a ten, completely relinquishing task-by-task control to a digital intern running continuously on autopilot without verifying if your structural architecture can handle the noise.  ​Exposing the SharePoint Trap with Fangs: In the cloud migration era, corporate America turned on SharePoint thinking "what's the harm," only to create an unmanaged jungle of duplicate data and orphaned sites that acted as a silent productivity torpedo. Agent sprawl is that exact same mistake on steroids because a messy SharePoint folder couldn't rewrite your product codebase, communicate with your clients, or execute legally binding corporate spend decisions. Agents can, and left running on autopilot after an employee leaves, they become an invisible, permanent liability.  ​Halting the Autopilot Spend Shock: The financial consequences of ungoverned agent loops are hitting corporate balance sheets hard, mimicking the familiar spend shock of dictionary-thick cell phone bills from the early 2000s. I highlight some recent examples like Uber vaporizing its entire annual AI budget in four months due to recursive agent rework loops, Microsoft aggressively clawing back developer licenses, and a jaw-dropping $500 million single-month bill racked up by an enterprise trapped in an infinite loop.  By the end, I hope you're convinced the solution isn't about stopping technology. It's about halting the wide-scale rollouts to reinvest heavily in human AI competence.

Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman cover Tim Cook's final WWDC as CEO and Apple's Gemini-powered Siri strategy, the $35 billion Apollo and Blackstone deal backing Anthropic's capacity expansion, Intel's packaging wins with Google and NVIDIA, SpaceX's IPO at a $1.77 trillion valuation, Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 launch across every major cloud, and earnings reactions from Oracle, Micron, and Adobe. The handpicked topics for this week are: Apple's Siri AI Will Run on Gemini, Closing Out Tim Cook's Final WWDC as CEO: At WWDC, Apple confirmed Siri AI will run on Gemini through a new billion-dollar per year, multi-year deal, while Apple's Foundation Model Cloud Pro runs on NVIDIA GPUs inside Google Cloud. The announcement marks Tim Cook's last WWDC as CEO before John Ternus takes over on September 1. Apple isn't building its own AI cluster or competing on CapEx. They're betting that by owning the consumption layer, backed by access to health data and private messaging through iMessage, Apple will have a moat that compute spending can't replicate. (The Decode) Apollo and Blackstone Close the Largest Private Credit Deal Ever Backing Anthropic's Capacity Expansion: A $35 billion deal, the largest private credit transaction on record, will fund Google TPU capacity tied to Anthropic's compute needs, with Broadcom backstopping senior debt tranches and Google backstopping lease payments. The structure treats compute as a lendable asset class and signals more than 20 gigawatts of demand still being built out through 2028. Circular financing between chipmakers, cloud providers, and AI labs has moved from controversial to standard practice. (The Decode) Intel's Foundry Wins Packaging Work on Google's TPUs, Not a Full Fab Deal: Reports that Intel landed a deal tied to Google and NVIDIA reframe what's actually being handed off. Intel gets the packaging work on over 3 million TPUs, the compute die stays with TSMC, and the I/O die is being negotiated with Samsung at 2nm. INTC rose 12% Monday. The deal represents a low-risk path for Intel to augment, not replace, TSMC, while raising questions about anti-competitive dynamics in the foundry market. (The Decode) SpaceX Becomes an AI Infrastructure Company With a $1.77 Trillion IPO: SpaceX's IPO priced amid oversubscribed demand, with its valuation now reflecting not just Starlink connectivity and launch dominance but a newly material AI business, including AI1 orbital data center tests planned for late 2027 and a $920 million per month Google compute contract running through 2029. A sum-of-the-parts breakdown of the connectivity, launch, and AI segments lands well short of the trading price, with the gap largely explained by confidence in Elon Musk's track record of execution. (The Decode) Anthropic Launches Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 Across Every Major Cloud: Anthropic shipped Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 with same-day availability across Snowflake, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry, pricing at $10 and $50 per million tokens. The hyperscaler-neutral distribution strategy lands ahead of Anthropic's anticipated IPO. The models represent a real step up in research capability over Opus 4.8, but they come with a significant change. Users no longer have the option to opt out of data sharing with Anthropic, a shift some enterprises, including Microsoft, are already responding to. (The Decode) Is SpaceX a Once-in-a-Generation Entry or the Top of the Market? One side argues SpaceX represents a generational opportunity on par with early Amazon or Netflix, with interplanetary travel and off-world resource extraction as the long-term payoff that justifies looking past current valuation math. The other side argues this is peak euphoria: a company trading at roughly 95 times sales, propped up in part by circular investment from Google into both SpaceX and its AI segment, with a steep drawdown likely before any sustained climb. (The Flip) The Chip and Security Trade Reverses From Broken to Bifurcated: The semiconductor sector posted its biggest single-day gain since 2020, with the SOX up 5% on Monday, June 8, as a prior selloff in names like Broadcom, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks fully reversed. Intel rose 12%, Marvell 10%, and Corning 7%. The rebound reframes the AI trade narrative from a broad breakdown to a split between winners and laggards within the same sector. (Bulls & Bears) Oracle Posts a Record Quarter, But the Market Focuses on a $50 Billion Funding Plan: Oracle delivered record revenue of $19.2 billion, up 21 %, with EPS of $2.11, beating estimates of $1.89. IaaS grew 93 %, the fastest pace among hyperscalers, and RPO hit $638 billion, up $85 billion quarter over quarter, including $75 billion in AI contracts. FY27 guidance of $90 billion was maintained, and EPS guidance was raised, yet the stock fell 5% after hours amid concerns about Oracle's capital spending plans. Oracle's AI cloud backlog now exceeds those of AWS, Google, and Microsoft, built heavily on commitments from Anthropic and OpenAI. (Bulls & Bears) Micron's Profit Trajectory Puts It in Google's Earnings Tier: Micron is projected to generate nearly as much profit in 2027 as Google, with Q2 revenue of $23.86 billion, up 22 % and beating estimates, and Q3 guidance of $33.5 billion in revenue, $19.15 EPS, and 81 % gross margin. The stock is up 776%, with Wall Street firms, including UBS, raising price targets. The open question is whether memory has broken its historically cyclical pattern given sustained AI demand. (Bulls & Bears) Adobe Beats Across the Board, But the Stock Drops on CEO Departure and Freemium Pivot: Adobe posted record revenue of $6.62 billion, up 13 % and beating consensus of $6.45 billion, with non-GAAP EPS of $5.96, topping estimates of $5.81. AI first ARR tripled year over year to over $500 million, with total ARR reaching $27.1 billion, and FY26 guidance was raised. The stock still fell 5.5 % after hours, driven by the CFO's departure to Marvell and market concern over a strategic shift toward freemium pricing that delays near-term profitability.
