Podcasts about models

Yoko Li and Justine Moore speak with Ideogram founder and CEO Mohammad Norouzi about image generation models, design workflows, and the evolving relationship between AI and creative work. The conversation covers Ideogram's decision to release an open-weight model, the challenges of generating text and layouts within images, and why controllability has become an increasingly important area of research. They discuss prompting, customization, editing, and the tradeoffs between general-purpose models and systems optimized for specific creative tasks. Along the way, Norouzi shares his views on open-source AI, design tools, agentic workflows, and how image generation models may evolve as creators and enterprises seek greater control over their outputs.

The U.S. government orders Anthropic to shut down foreign access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models after the Pentagon labels the company a supply-chain risk. David Shipley examines what may be  behind the decision and what it means for countries and businesses that depend on American AI platforms. The FBI also disrupts Outsider Enterprise, a China-based phishing-as-a-service network linked to more than 9,000 fake websites, one million fraudulent URLs, 3.8 million stolen payment-card records and an estimated $1.9 billion in losses. Also in this episode: A critical Splunk vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to remotely execute code through a PostgreSQL sidecar service enabled by default in some deployments. A former Iowa school IT worker is sentenced after retaining access for 21 months and using it to delete accounts and disrupt school systems. And FortiWatch returns with a critical FortiSandbox command-injection vulnerability that requires no authentication. Cybersecurity Today is hosted by David Shipley.

elcome back to #SoLeadSaturday. I'm Chibi version of Vaishali Lambe, and today we are talking about **World Models in AI**.Let's simplify the research idea behind this.World models help AI move from pattern prediction toward planning and simulation.When AI research becomes popular, it often sounds complex.But the practical question is simple:What new capability does this unlock?What limitation does it solve?And how could this eventually show up in real products or workflows?Let's break this down into three parts.

In this episode, Morgan Kendrick, EVP and President, Commercial Health Benefits, Elevance Health, discusses the rising cost pressures facing employers and explores how balanced funding, self-funding, and multiple employer welfare arrangements can help improve affordability while simplifying healthcare benefits for businesses and their employees.

AI narrative momentum, durable value, and why Zoom and Roblox stand out | Around the Desk Ep. 85Sean Emory, founder and CIO of Avory & Co., on the "AI on, AI off" market: where durable value actually accrues, why models may commoditize as open source catches up, and why ecosystem and context end up mattering more than the model itself. Plus a look at Zoom (Avory's top holding) for its cash, Anthropic stake, and communication-context data, and Roblox for consumer engagement and AI-enabled creation. He expects public AI listings to force scrutiny on profitability, margins, and capital intensity, and makes the case for patience and businesses that don't require perfect assumptions.Chapters00:00 Podcast intro00:33 Momentum and narratives01:08 AI trade dominates02:31 Where value accrues03:16 Open source catching up05:10 Models commoditize over time06:28 Multi-model future07:47 Infrastructure crowding risks09:15 Energy bottlenecks10:06 Durable investing mindset10:35 Zoom as durable play13:13 Roblox and creation flywheel14:02 Macro uncertainty cycles16:00 Public AI reality check17:33 Staying patient and closingMore from Avory & Co.www.avory.xyz Informational only.

Ford has announced a major vehicle recall. The AP's Marcela Sanchez explains which models are affected.

BRIGITTE-Moderedakteurin Jana Kruse hat in ihrem Berufsleben Tausende Stylings umgesetzt – für die Models auf den Modeseiten der BRIGITTE, aber besonders gern für Frauen, die normalerweise nicht professionell vor der Kamera stehen. Es sind vor allem Leserinnen ab ca. 40 Jahre, die sich melden und dann aktuelle Fotos schicken, anhand derer Jana guckt: Welche Schnitte könnten besonders gut funktionieren? Welche Farben überraschen? Und was passt zu Persönlichkeit, Alltag und Lebensgefühl? Beim Anprobieren im Studio zeigt sich dann nicht nur, welche Looks am besten sind – sondern auch, welche Geschichten viele Frauen über ihren Körper und ihren Stil mit sich herumtragen. Und wie befreiend es sein kann, den Blick auf sich selbst zu verändern. Diana spricht mit ihrer Kollegin Jana über clevere Proportions-Hacks, die Angst vor Farbe, veränderte Silhouetten selbst bei klassischen Kleidungsstücken wie dem Blazer – und darüber, warum wir uns vom unverstellteren Blick unserer Kinder auf den eigenen Körper oft eine Scheibe abschneiden könnten.

As AI becomes a mission-critical capability across industries, successful enterprise deployments increasingly depend not just on powerful models, but on...

Consumption pricing and AI adoption are forcing revenue teams to prove value faster, with less room to hide behind contracts, pilots, or broad technical promises. Seong Park, Senior Vice President of Customer Support and Services at Cursor, joins John Kaplan and John McMahon to examine how customer success has become a consultative, technical, and commercial function in modern go-to-market. The conversation explores why post-sale execution is now central to retention, how teams need to embed into customer workflows, what finance scrutiny means for consumption models, and why the fundamentals of pain, champions, outcomes, and evidence still matter in a market moving at unusual speed. Seong Park is the Senior Vice President of Customer Support and Services at Cursor. His background spans pre-sales, customer success, and go-to-market leadership across companies including MongoDB, ThoughtSpot, and now Cursor. Connect with Seong: LinkedIn Key takeaways from this episode:  00:00 – Seong Park's perspective on how pre-sales, open source SaaS, and customer success shaped his view of enterprise go-to-market. 02:26 – Why consumption models force revenue teams to re-earn the customer's business through usage and realized value. 08:00 – The value realization test every revenue leader should care about: what happens if the solution gets unplugged. 11:04 – Why workflow depth quietly becomes a moat in enterprise accounts. 18:04 – Why the real selling often starts after the customer signs. 23:50 – A look inside where Cursor is finding technical go-to-market talent, and what it takes to build that talent into customer-facing operators. 34:38 – Why finance scrutiny quietly changes the standard of proof for AI investments. 52:00 – The three things post-sale teams need to understand before value delivery can begin.

The entire startup ecosystem is racing to build agent harnesses. Logan Kilpatrick, who leads Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, argues that scramble has a roughly 12-month shelf life. Models will absorb the scaffolding and run it natively, so the edge moves elsewhere. Google's own bet runs in parallel: a single agent harness, born from the Windsurf team and now called Antigravity, has become the connective tissue across search, the Gemini app, Cloud, and AI Studio — the role Gemini-the-model used to play. Logan makes the case that coding already feels like narrow superintelligence, and that "jagged" vertical superintelligence (in math, finance, and science) will arrive well before AGI. He argues Google's real goal is maximizing outcomes for users, not eyeball time. He unpacks Omni, the single model built to replace multiple separate systems Google once trained for text, audio, music, image, and video. His throughline: AI is an accelerant for human ambition, not a substitute for it. Hosted by Sonya Huang, Sequoia Capital

Jure Leskovec, Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Kumo.ai, speaks with host Sriram Panyam about relational and graph language models and their transformative impact on enterprise decision-making and predictive modeling. Jure begins by establishing the critical importance of predictive modeling across industries - from fraud detection in financial institutions to customer churn prediction, lifetime value estimation, product recommendations, and healthcare risk assessment. He notes that while AI has made remarkable advances in natural language understanding and computer vision, predictive modeling over enterprise operational data stored in relational databases has been largely left behind, still relying on 30-year-old machine learning approaches that are expensive, time-consuming, and require manual feature engineering. His proposed solution to the fundamental problem with current approaches is relational deep learning and relational transformers. The discussion explores how this approach differs from traditional graph neural networks (GNNs), which Jure pioneered and deployed successfully at Pinterest. Jure concludes with practical guidance for software engineers and data scientists interested in exploring this technology.

What if your climate risk assessments could predict the future with greater accuracy than historical data alone?In part two of this conversation on Making Risk Flow, Jake Harding continues his discussion with Joan Saladich, Founder of Geoskop, exploring how insurers can move beyond static climate risk models and embrace a more sophisticated, forward-looking approach to decision-making. Joan explains why annual climate model updates can create misleading conclusions, how vegetation and soil dynamics reshape wildfire risk, and why relying on single-source data leaves carriers exposed to blind spots. The conversation also examines the role of AI and large language models in processing complex climate datasets, emphasising that technology should enhance, not replace, human judgment. Joan outlines a practical framework for combining historical data, future climate projections, alternative statistical models, and socioeconomic context to generate more accurate, explainable, and actionable climate risk intelligence. Fan Mail: Got a challenge digitizing your intake?

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Ditch hourly billing for subscriptions: Billing by the hour incentivizes inefficiency. Subscription and fixed-fee models align attorney success with client outcomes, rewarding speed and quality rather than time spent.* Sharpen your ax: Constantly grinding without pausing to strategize and refresh leads to burnout; taking deliberate time to improve your tools and thinking produces better long-term results.* AI accelerates legal work without replacing judgment: Purpose-built AI tools (like Paxton for legal research, Perplexity for internet research, and NotebookLM for document-based Q&A) drastically reduce the time to deliver high-quality work, but human expertise and context remain essential.* Pricing transparency builds client trust: Publishing your fees, engagement terms, and scope upfront removes friction, reduces client anxiety, and leads to better working relationships and faster conversions.* Context is everything: Whether working with AI tools or advising clients, providing full context yields dramatically better results. Give AI the same rich background you'd give a brilliant first-day employee.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

In einer besseren Welt wäre Stutenbissigkeit nicht mehr als ein Begriff, der unter den Top 5 der Boomerwörter 2026 gelandet ist.Eine schwache Erinnerung an die Zeit, in der Frauen in Vorstandssitzungen allenfalls für die Versorgung mit Filterkaffee und Kaffeeweisser zuständig waren, sonst aber keine tragende Rolle gespielt haben.Surprise: Leider nicht.Denn noch immer machen sich Frauen gegenseitig das Leben schwer auf der Jagd nach einem angesehenen Plätzchen in der Gesellschaft.Der Konkurrenzkampf zwischen Frauen wird eher selten über ein illegales Autorennen oder Armdrücken verhandelt.Das können wir subtiler!Wer als Frau geschätzt werden will, ist am besten leise, dünn, eine aufopfernde Mutter mit Sinn fürs gemütliche Heim.Und darin die beste zu werden, heißt vor allen Dingen, die Konkurrenz zu entwerten.In dieser Folge kärchern wir die toxische Weiblichkeit mit mindestens 160 Bar und 500 Liter Trinkwasser aus euch heraus.Und mit der Hilfe von Elena Carrière. 2016 ist sie eher nebenbei in die 11. Staffel „Germany's Next Topmodel“ gestolpert und als zweitplatzierte wieder raus.Elena war menschgewordener Rage Bait, bevor es das Wort überhaupt gab.Das Format ist ja eh schon ein Beispiel für toxisches Verhalten unter Frauen unter Laborbedingungen. An Elena haben sich die Mitkandidatinnen aber noch einmal ganz besonders sorgfältig abgearbeitet.Im Flexikon erzählt sie, wie sie das damals empfunden hat, wie wichtig es ihr heute ist, patriarchale Strukturen zu hinterfragen, am eigenen Selbstwert zu arbeiten und Frauencommunities zu stärken.Für diese Verbundenheit unter Frauen plädiert auch Dr. Franziska Schutzbach, „Revolution der Verbundenheit – wie weibliche Solidarität die Gesellschaft verändert“ ist eines der neueren Bücher der Geschlechterforscherin.Sie beschreibt weibliches Konkurrenzverhalten als historisch gewachsen. Ökonomisch und gesellschaftlich war der weibliche Lebensweg schon immer an einen Mann gebunden. Es hat sich einiges getan, einiges aber auch nicht,Auch heute fördern Männer andere Männer.Wer da keinen Bock drauf hat, muss was tun. Und das funktioniert nur in der gegenseitigen Unterstützung. Gesellschaftlich, beruflich, politisch oder in der Familie und unter Freundinnen.Die Links zur Folge:Studie unbezahlte Arbeit:https://www.wiwo.de/erfolg/beruf/unbezahlte-arbeit-frauen-leisten-mehr-stunden-ab-als-maenner/24309240.htmlEpstein Files – Jagd nach Models in Europa:https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/epstein-files-jagd-nach-models-in-europa/epstein-files-jagd-nach-models-in-europa/ndr/Y3JpZDovL25kci5kZS9lMzFjYzdjNS1lNzBhLTQyOWItOGU0ZS04MGY0N2M0NjVhZTZfZ2FuemVTZW5kdW5nWas Deutschland verbindet:https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/was-deutschland-verbindet/was-deutschland-verbindet/ard/MGJjZmFhNTEtZjA0OC00NDRmLThjOWMtNmVkNjk0YmEzNGI4KI Job Futuromat: https://job-futuromat.iab.de/faq.html(00:00:00) Intro(00:00:04) Einstieg: Frauenanteil im Management & persönliche Erfahrungen mit Neid unter Frauen(00:03:20) Was ist toxische Weiblichkeit?(00:03:32) Die fünf Typen toxischer Weiblichkeit nach Sophia Fritz(00:11:56) Vorstellung der Flexpertinnen: Elena Carrière & Franziska Schutzbach(00:13:37) Elena Carrière: Erfahrungen bei Germany's Next Topmodel(00:18:00) Elenas Selbstreflexion: Pick-Me-Girl, Selbstliebe & der Typ "Bitch"(00:22:05) Frauenfreundschaften: Elenas Weg von Ablehnung zu Wertschätzung(00:26:27) Schönheitsideale, Ozempic & Social-Media-Druck auf Frauen(00:33:29) Franziska Schutzbach: Strukturelle Ursachen von Konkurrenz unter Frauen(00:38:28) Männer fördern Männer – Homosozialität & fehlende Sichtbarkeit von Frauen(00:42:09) Historische Wurzeln: Warum Konkurrenz unter Frauen systembedingt ist(00:44:57) Internalisierter Frauenhass & Bewertungskultur (00:49:39) Lösungsansätze: Weibliche Solidarität, Verbundenheit & Fazit(00:55:10) Ausblick auf die nächste Folge

A young British glamour model flies to Milan for what she believes is a routine photo shoot in 2017 — and vanishes into one of the strangest kidnapping cases in modern true crime history. Drugged, stuffed into the trunk of a car, and allegedly marked for sale on a dark web sex auction by a shadowy group called “Black Death,” Chloe Ayling's story quickly spiraled into an international media frenzy filled with bizarre twists, contradictory behavior, and public skepticism. Was she the victim of a real human trafficking plot, the target of a delusional criminal fantasy, or part of an elaborate publicity stunt gone horribly sideways? This is one the weirdest, most confusing, and strangely fascinating abduction stories of the internet age.

Most of us are pretty bad at conflict, usually because we weren't taught how to handle it well. But healthy conflict can be one of the best ways to deepen intimacy and trust. In this episode Dr. Rick and Forrest discuss why conflict is so difficult, the models of conflict we inherit from childhood, healthy repair, what emotional flooding does to the brain and body during a fight, and the research on what actually predicts relationship success. They close with a handful of things that get mistaken for repair but aren't, including submission, thin apologies, and just solving the surface problem.  Key Topics: 0:00: Intro 3:19: Repair as the biggest predictor of relationship success 5:29: Models of conflict and where they originate from 16:08: What is healthy repair, and why is it so hard? 24:54: What to do about emotional flooding 30:25: When to let things go, and when to address them 38:36: What repair is and what it's not 46:47: The power of authentic apologies 57:04: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

A naive count of where you found it underestimates true occupancy. The model adds a repeated-measures component: you visit each site multiple times, and from the pattern of detections vs. non-detections it estimates a detection probability. Matthijs framed it as a zero-inflation structure where the zero-inflation happens at the site level rather than the observation level -- which keeps the model conceptually simple, just a standard GLM with a Bernoulli “is the species here at all?” stacked on top of a detection-rate process.Q: What are Automated Recording Units and why don't traditional occupancy models handle them well?A: ARUs are camera traps and acoustic monitors that record continuously over deployment periods of days, weeks, or months. The data they produce isn't a sequence of discrete human-led surveys; it's a continuous-time observation stream. Traditional occupancy models were designed for the discrete case -- a human visits a site, records yes or no, goes home. With ARUs, the question becomes how to bin or threshold the continuous data without losing the richer signal it actually contains.Q: When should you not reach for occARU?A: When your dataset is large and your survey interval is fine-grained. The bottleneck is Stan's fitting speed -- years of daily count data across many sites will fit slowly. The workaround is to bin coarser (weekly or monthly), which doesn't hurt occupancy estimation at all and only loses some detection-rate resolution. If you're only interested in occupancy, big grouping windows are fine.Full takeaways hereChapters:00:12:14 What is an occupancy model and what problem does it solve?00:16:16 What are Automated Recording Units and why do they need different models?00:18:45 What is the occARU R package and why does it exist?00:23:55 Why does occARU model counts directly rather than binary detection?00:26:38 What does multi-species hierarchical modeling with Gaussian processes look like?00:32:22 How does occARU implement Gaussian processes efficiently?00:41:01 Why are Gaussian processes such a powerful but tricky modeling tool?00:44:11 What is variance decomposition with global-local shrinkage priors?00:49:02 How does occARU leverage recent Stan features for zero-sum constraints?00:57:37 When does within-chain parallelization actually help?01:01:30 How does Monte Carlo integration reduce high Pareto-k values?01:15:27 When does occARU underperform and what's on the roadmap?Thank you to my Patrons for making this episode possible!Links from the show here.

Holly Fretwell advocates for partnerships between private entities and federal forests, citing the National Forest Foundation and Blue Forest Conservation's resilience bonds as successful models. She emphasizes the Good Neighbor Authority, which allows states to assist in management, but calls for more revenue flexibility for tribes and counties to sustain local, long-term restoration efforts.

ETP 218 is all about progression models. The whole conversation starts from one non-negotiable idea: eventually there has to be real, tangible progression. Most of the "models" people get excited about are really just different ways to make the process less mundane than running linear or double progression forever. And to be clear, LP and DP are still the GOAT. They're proven, time-tested, and they work. We break down what they actually are and why they've earned that status.The catch with all of these models is that they live and die by consistent form. Heavier weights or more reps with execution falling apart isn't progress. A big reason we like employing these models in the first place is that they tend to produce more consistent output and execution than LP/DP, where the only thing you're chasing is weight and reps. That consistency is a lot of why they're effective.From there we walk through the models we actually use and where each one fits.Covered in this episode:Why LP and DP are the proven foundation, and why everything else is built on top of themWave loading, including the 4/3/2 strength model and the 4-3-2-1-0 weekly RIR approach Bryan often runs, where the goal is to beat the same week in sequence so progression plays out over a five to six week windowBryan's current favorite: 2-week microcycles, alternating an intensity week (2 x 5-8 to 0-1 RIR) with a volume week (4-5 x 5-6 at 85-90% of the prior week's load)Rep goal progression, basically a more fun spin on double progression, hitting a total rep target across your sets before adding loadReverse pyramid and top set plus back-off work, where progression is driven mostly by the top set and the back-offs chase stimulusVolume progression, the original RP model, where workload climbs week to week before load goes up across the mesoDensity progression, doing the same work in less time, plus Aaron playing devil's advocate on whether efficiency gains actually confirm strength or hypertrophy progress or just imply itLoad cycling across longer time frames, meso to mesoMyo-rep and rest-pause progression, beating your total rep count session to sessionTimestamps:00:00:00 Episode Introduction and Personal Updates00:13:41 Refining Hypertrophy In-Person Seminar00:14:41 Goodlabs Discounted Private Bloodwork00:15:10 Diving into Progression Models00:22:39 Waveloading and Its Applications00:29:22 Set Structures and Rep Ranges00:31:44 Microcycle Training: Balancing Intensity and Volume00:34:28 Understanding Reps and Volume in Training00:36:45 The Benefits of Volume Weeks00:38:14 Rep Goal Progression: A Fun Approach00:39:19 Top Set Back Off Set: A Popular Training Method00:43:32 Exploring Pyramid Training: A Classic Approach00:47:54 Volume Progression: Pros and Cons00:52:31 Density Progression: Efficiency vs. Effectiveness00:58:08 Load Cycling: A Structured Approach to Progression01:02:38 Myo Reps: Time-Efficient Training Techniques Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media  ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

If you are running your business from a kitchen table while completely relying on subcontractors to deliver your physical client assets, your scaling potential is non-existent. Your custom brand reputation is entirely exposed to the broken timelines and empty promises of third-party vendors.In this episode, Aaron sits down with Shaun Ensign, CEO and co-founder of Legacy Sign Group, to analyze the heavy operational transitions required to move from basic brokerage models to dominant regional self-manufacturing powerhouses. Shaun pulls back the curtain on how his team successfully navigated scaling from an initial 2,100 sq ft footprint straight into a fully maximized 15,000 sq ft production layout.They break down the friction points of the manufacturing generational gap, how to deploy tech-savvy project management teams to safeguard institutional knowledge, and the exact steps taken to integrate real-time AI modeling and strict EOS structural frameworks into everyday trade environments .

Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from JackB from TX On double tap 451 Nick said he would know he was successful when he ordered a custom double rifle. I always say something similar, which is if I win the lottery I'm telling no one, but there would be signs. Like the sudden acquisition of a custom double rifle.My first question is, if the cast were going to order custom double rifles, what caliber would you choose? If Shawn wants to make H&H invent a 171 WLS for him, that's dope, but what would your second choice be? Followup question to help me choose my caliber. If I got one, I'd want one of the classic elephant gun Calibers. I love 45-70 but it just wouldn seem right. So of those old safari calibers which ones have milder recoil and are still somewhat commercially available? -JackB Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from Connecticut From: Jaqin Ta'Sox: Dear WLS In double tap 451 at 19:58 minutes, someone asks about deadly force against a bull horn to the ear. I understand an ass whoopin is absolutely due in that situation, BUT I find it kind of interesting. Like Jerambey said, it is permanent bodily harm. Just like if someone tries to use a laser pointer to blind you, deadly force is a go, but not for permanent hearing loss? Question from Anonymous Coward from Texas What is the best way to form 1 a homemade suppressor? Looking at mostly finger printing that can be reused. But also looking at design requirements like length and such. Question from Duke from Texas Duke of CrudeSo I was crusing Armslist looking for some travel guns and came across a mosin nagant for $495. I had an epiphany over that post. What if the mosin was worth the same but inflation was just so terrible that now a $95 dollar gun in 2002 is $495 dollars today? Just some food for thought before AI takes over. Thanks for the laughs! Duke Question from Anonymous Coward from Washington Shawn has been on a geeky mission for a while. I am wondering if he can geek out and make a universal shopping cart that using his web crawler A/I skills could check multiple sites to see if products are available from one source. Example I am ordering some area 419 products, a few CZ mags and a kydex cheek riser. I am bound to pay shipping from 3 separate sites. I am trying to see if there is one source carrying what I need. Keep up the good work Shawn getting deeper back into his tech roots but staying a gun guy at heart is bringing rewards for all of us. GUN INDUSTRY NEWS THEFIREARMBLOG.COM Edgar Sherman Design Notch Precision Shooting Bag Shooting bags don't exactly get a lot of innovation press.The category has been dominated by the same handful of designs for years, and for good reason: a well-executed bag filled with the right material and wrapped in grippy fabric solves most problems a precision shooter will ever encounter on a stage or in the field.New entrants that bring something genuinely different to that conversation are rare enough to be worth paying attention to when they show up. Edgar Sherman Design released the Notch Precision Shooting Bag, a convertible front/rear support bag featuring a four-way stretch woven core that deforms for micro-adjustments, wrapped in a Cordura laminate exoskeleton with MOLLE cutouts. It incorporates a V-shaped notch formed by tie-down loops for rifle stock capture and lateral stability, PVC-coated grip surfaces, an elastic retention loop, and Spexlite 5125 fill.

What if the climate risk data you're using to underwrite policies is fundamentally flawed?In this first of two-part episode of Making Risk Flow, host Jake Harding speaks with Joan Saladich, CEO and co-founder of Geoskop, about why traditional climate risk scores often fail insurers and what a more sophisticated approach looks like. Joan explains how deterministic ratings and traffic-light systems oversimplify complex climate realities, making them unsuitable for underwriting decisions. He explores the value of probabilistic climate modeling, AI-powered analysis, and uncertainty quantification in assessing evolving risks. The conversation also examines changing reinsurance dynamics, which are pushing more climate-related exposure onto commercial insurers. Joan discusses the importance of validating climate models through measurable accuracy and transparency, while highlighting how outdated scenario assumptions can distort risk assessments. Together, they show how embracing data complexity can create a meaningful competitive advantage in modern insurance underwriting. Fan Mail: Got a challenge digitizing your intake?

Most AI systems follow a gradient, a mathematical slope that tells them exactly how to improve, step by step, toward a known goal. Neuroevolution doesn't follow any gradient. Instead, it runs hundreds or thousands of competing solutions simultaneously, spreads them across the space of possibilities as broadly as possible, and lets the best ones recombine, the same logic that drives biological evolution. The result, as Risto Miikkulainen explains to Craig Smith, is creativity: solutions that no human designer would have anticipated, that emerge routinely from the evolutionary process. Miikkulainen is a professor at UT Austin and VP of AI Research at Cognizant AI Labs, and he has been working on this field since the 1980s, which makes him both a historian of it and one of its most active frontiersmen. The conversation covers a remarkable range: a mystery model that outperformed every competitor in a recent stock trading competition with forensic footprints pointing to neuroevolutionary AI; Sakana AI's system that autonomously designed experiments, wrote a paper, and had it accepted at a major machine learning conference; and a pandemic decision system that trained overnight and made country-specific recommendations by morning, with Iceland actually following some of them, all the way to the prime minister.
