    Send a textPart two of my interview with Barbara Adler is as juicy if not juicier than part one and I did not expect that. I start by laying out every single one of Epstein's 46 shell companies — the real estate holdings, the aviation companies, the offshore financing vehicles, the pass-through shells, and the master trust with 40 secret beneficiaries named for his birth year. I name the three people who ran his in-house accounting and compliance — Richard Kahn, Bella Klein, and Harry Beller — and ask why none of them have been brought in front of Congress when Bella literally pleaded the Fifth. I break down Liquid Funding Limited out of Bermuda that was loaded with the exact mortgage-backed securities that caused the 2008 financial crash — and then play you the clip of Epstein bragging about being on the phone with Bear Stearns and JP Morgan simultaneously during the crash FROM PRISON. Then Barbara and I go deeper than part one. She tells me about Naomi Campbell trafficking her best friend Sky to Russell Simmons — LSD, Bahamas weekends, threesomes, and how Russell would pay for their apartments and then replace them when they got boring. She brings up Vladislav Doronin and the mystery island he supposedly built for Naomi in the shape of a horus eye — there are architectural drawings in magazines BUT... I found out who Barbara's modeling agent was — Faith Cates who founded Next Model Management — and when I dug into the Epstein files what I found made my jaw drop. Faith had social emails with Epstein, invited models to his dinner parties, and he's telling her he's spending Thanksgiving with Trump and others in 2017 — years after his conviction. Epstein donated to her cancer charity and a tennis center where her son worked. And Faith is the agent who introduced Stacey Williams to Epstein — and Stacey is the woman who alleges Trump groped her at Trump Tower with Epstein watching and smiling. Jean-Luc Brunel owned 25% of Faith's company. I tell Barbara about Ruslana Korshunova — the Russian model who jumped from a ninth floor balcony in 2008 after visiting Epstein Island two years before. No drugs or alcohol in her system. Her mother believes she was murdered. I tell her about Karen Mulder — one of the biggest supermodels  I connect Paul Marciano from Guess to Mohamed Hadid and explain how the shadow mansion network worked with girls. Barbara tells me about Epstein speaking to her directly — how he was non-emotional with a creepy smile and asked very specific questions about her upbringing and background.  And what about the second Island...Full episode only available at Dishing Drama Dana Patreon, it's only $6.00 a month, join the fun! https://www.patreon.com/cw/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeySupport the showDana is on Cameo!Follow Dana: @Wilkey_Dana$25,000 Song - Apple Music$25,000 Song - SpotifyTo support the show and listen to full episodes, become a member on PatreonTo send Dana information, show requests and sponsorships reach out to our new email: dishingdramadana@gmail.comDana's YouTube Channel

    Mathematical Models for Better Food Crops.

    In this episode of Mark & Pete, we explore a fascinating development in modern science: how mathematical models are helping scientists identify genetic material that could dramatically improve the resilience of global food crops.Researchers are increasingly using advanced mathematics, computational biology, and genetic analysis to pinpoint the specific genes responsible for drought tolerance, disease resistance, and environmental adaptability in crops such as wheat, rice, and maize. The goal is simple but crucial: strengthen the world's food supply in the face of climate change, population growth, and unpredictable agricultural conditions.But this technological breakthrough raises bigger questions. When mathematics begins guiding genetic discovery, are we witnessing the next great leap in agricultural science—or are we stepping into a new era where humanity attempts to redesign the natural world?In this episode we unpack how mathematical modelling, genetics, and agricultural science intersect, and why this approach is rapidly becoming one of the most powerful tools in modern crop research. From predictive algorithms that identify useful genetic traits to data-driven plant breeding, the science behind food security is becoming increasingly mathematical.At the same time, we ask an important cultural and philosophical question: what does stewardship of creation look like in an age of genetic precision? The Bible speaks of humanity being placed in the garden “to work it and keep it.” Does modern genetic science fulfil that mandate—or challenge it?This conversation brings together science, ethics, agriculture, and faith, offering a thoughtful look at how technological innovation intersects with biblical ideas about stewardship, responsibility, and wisdom.If you are interested in food security, agricultural science, genetics, biotechnology, climate resilience, and the Christian perspective on science, this episode provides a clear and engaging discussion of one of the most important developments shaping the future of global food production.Keywords:crop resilience genetics, mathematical models genetics, food crop resilience science, agricultural genetics research, genetic material crops, drought resistant crops research, crop breeding algorithms, biotechnology agriculture, global food security science, mathematics in biology, computational genetics agriculture, Christian perspective on science, stewardship of creation agriculture

    Les fondateurs de Presage défendent une vision radicalement différente de l'intelligence artificielle. Selon eux, les World Models représentent une voie plus frugale, plus intelligente et plus adaptée aux enjeux industriels que les IA génératives actuelles.Interview : Benjamin Rey, CEO de Presage et Arthur Chevalier, CTO de PresagePunchlinesUn World Model comprend les conséquences de ses actions.Un LLM n'a pas une vraie compréhension du monde.Les infrastructures cloud ne peuvent plus être gérées uniquement par des humains.Les World Models sont plus rapides et plus frugaux que les LLM.La recherche sur les LLM est finie.Qu'est-ce qu'un World Model et en quoi cela diffère-t-il d'un LLM ?Un World Model est une intelligence artificielle capable de comprendre les conséquences de ses actions. Contrairement à un LLM qui prédit des mots ou génère du texte, un World Model apprend les lois du monde dans lequel il évolue. Un LLM est une très bonne interface entre l'humain et la machine, mais il ne comprend pas réellement le fondement de ce qu'il génère. Le World Model, lui, comprend pourquoi une action produit un effet. Il peut simuler l'état futur d'un système après une décision, ce qui change profondément sa capacité à raisonner.Pourquoi appliquer les World Models au cloud ?Le cloud est devenu extrêmement complexe. Il faut gérer la cybersécurité, les coûts, la consommation énergétique, la configuration de centaines de services et surveiller en permanence des dizaines de paramètres. Aujourd'hui, des agents autonomes prennent des décisions 24h/24 sur les infrastructures. Les équipes techniques perdent en contrôle et ne savent pas toujours quand ni pourquoi une infrastructure casse. Notre ambition est d'utiliser les World Models pour simuler les conséquences d'une action avant qu'elle ne soit exécutée. Un modèle peut prédire en quelques millisecondes l'état futur d'une infrastructure après une modification. Cela permet d'apporter plus de contrôle, plus de sécurité et moins de stress aux équipes.Les World Models sont-ils une alternative aux LLM ?Nous pensons que oui, et même une alternative européenne crédible. Les LLM sont une excellente interface homme-machine, mais ils ont un plafond de verre. Ils consomment énormément d'énergie, nécessitent des milliards d'investissements et ne comprennent pas réellement les lois physiques du monde. Les World Models, eux, nécessitent moins de données, moins d'énergie à l'entraînement et aucune énergie à l'inférence pour produire une prédiction. Nous pensons qu'il faut réduire le rôle des LLM à l'interface et confier l'intelligence décisionnelle à des systèmes plus frugaux et plus capables de comprendre le monde réel.Quelles sont vos ambitions avec Presage ?Nous avons levé 1,2 million d'euros pour accélérer le développement de notre premier modèle, Cloud One. Notre approche est très appliquée : nous travaillons déjà avec des partenaires et nous visons des modèles en production chez des clients dès le premier trimestre. À terme, les World Models peuvent s'appliquer à bien d'autres domaines : voitures autonomes, médical, BTP… Partout où un système doit comprendre un environnement et agir dedans, cette technologie peut faire la différence.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

    Hardware Cost Volatility Forces MSPs to Reprice Contracts and Restructure Service Models

    Enterprise IT spending is projected to reach $4.5 trillion by 2026, but this growth is concentrated in software, cloud services, and AI infrastructure for large organizations, according to HG Insights and Omdia research cited by Dave Sobel. The system integration market is positioned to approach $950 billion in 2025, with enterprises working with an average of 6.3 technology partners. A substantial surge in AI-optimized server sales, as reflected in Dell Technologies' reported 342% year-over-year increase in revenue for those systems, is reshaping supply chains and vendor dynamics, leading to shortages of DRAM, SSDs, and hard drives. Underlying this development are volatile component costs. DRAM prices have doubled quarter over quarter, and both Micron Technologies and Western Digital have indicated they are sold out for 2026. HP reports that RAM now constitutes 35% of new PC materials costs, up dramatically from 18% the previous quarter. Such cost shifts are creating downstream risks for managed service providers (MSPs) with fixed-price agreements, as the economic assumptions underpinning many contracts—stable hardware prices and predictable cloud costs—no longer hold. The episode also highlights an increase in application sprawl and a widening gap between IT budgets and other operational costs. A Torii report shows large enterprises use over 2,191 applications on average, with more than 61% bypassing formal IT approvals, resulting in unmanaged security and compliance exposure. Additionally, 80% of small businesses report rising energy costs that directly compete with IT budget allocations. Industry analysis from Jefferies and Boston Consulting Group signals that AI and automation are not viewed uniformly as productivity boosters and may compress revenue models in both Indian and domestic IT services sectors. The practical implication for MSPs is the urgent need to audit and reprice contracts related to hardware procurement and refresh cycles, clearly documenting and communicating current cost realities with clients. Dave Sobel stresses reframing device lifecycle extensions as a security risk rather than a cost-saving measure and warns against selling clients on speculative AI market projections. The advice is to focus on specific, scoped use cases and to structure agreements that accurately reflect volatility in component costs and the operational burden of application sprawl, ensuring financial and legal accountability as the IT services landscape evolves. 00:00 $4.96T IT Spend Surge Bypasses SMBs as AI Infrastructure Captures Enterprise Budgets 03:58 Dell's $43B AI Server Backlog Triggers DRAM Shortage, Repricing Downstream Hardware 05:52 AI Shrinks IT Services Revenue Model; MSPs Face Contested Implementation Role   This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:

    AI products are shipping faster than ever. But shipping isn't impact. The teams pulling ahead aren't the ones with the best models — they're the ones who can prove their product moves the business. This edition is about that gap. How to measure what matters, where the biggest barriers to impact are hiding, and what the latest research says about getting AI products to actually drive growth. Because the real competitive advantage isn't AI. It's knowing whether your AI is working.What You'll Learn in This EditionThis edition cuts through the noise to focus on the measurement gap — the difference between shipping AI and proving AI drives growth.* The Power/Speed/Impact/Joy bullseye — a calibration framework for AI products that actually drive growth* A Nature paper reveals why removing friction from AI may be destroying the learning your team needs* John Maeda on why design teams are being hollowed out — and why PMs are next* Benedict Evans on why even OpenAI can't solve product-market fit with capability alone* Research that should change how your team thinks about AI-assisted skill buildingThanks for reading Product Impact | AI Strategy, Value Creation, AI UX! This post is public so feel free to share it.Episode 1: Why Your AI Metrics Are Lying to You - Framework for improving AI product performanceYour AI product might be fast, capable, and technically impressive — and still not drive the growth your business needs. In this episode, Brittany Hobbs and I introduce the Power, Speed, Impact, and Joy bullseye — a calibration framework borrowed from F1 racing. The teams winning aren't shipping more features. They're measuring different things entirely. We break down a three-layer eval approach and why most completion metrics are hiding the signals that matter.“Success does not mean satisfaction. If someone stops engaging, does that mean they solved their problem — or that they were frustrated and left?” — Brittany HobbsListen on Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTubeYour Role Isn't Shrinking. It's Being Hollowed Out.John Maeda — Three major tech companies have restructured design teams into “prompt engineering pods.” Maeda's #DesignInTech 2026 calls it what it is: the elimination of design judgment from the product process. “When you replace a designer with a prompt, you don't lose the pixels. You lose the questions that should have been asked before anyone opened a tool.” This applies to product managers too — if your PM's job becomes prompt-wrangling instead of deciding what to build and why, you've automated the wrong layer. The roles aren't disappearing. The judgment inside them is.Featured Resource: Strategy for Measuring & Improving AI ProductsThe gap between what AI products ship and what they prove is where growth stalls. This framework moves teams from tracking activity — token counts, completion rates, session length — to defining and measuring the outcomes that actually drive business impact. Most teams ship features and assume engagement means success. It doesn't. If your team can't answer “is this AI feature making the business better?” with data, you're flying blind. The framework covers product discovery through scale, with concrete steps for building measurement into your AI product from the start — not bolting it on after launch.Read the full resource at ph1.caWaterfall: we'll build you a car in 18 months. Agile: here's a skateboard, we'll iterate. AI: here's a photorealistic render of a Lamborghini that doesn't start. We've never made it easier to build something that looks incredible and does absolutely nothing. AI development doesn't need more iteration — it needs someone asking “does this thing actually drive?”If your team is celebrating demos instead of outcomes, you're already behind the teams that measure first and ship second.Two years of capability gains. Almost no reliability improvement. This is the chart that should be on every product team's wall — because it explains why your AI demos brilliantly and fails in production. Capability without reliability isn't a product. It's a liability.If your team can't name which type of AI they're building, they can't measure whether it's working. Six categories that force precision. — Narain JashanmalProduct Impact ResourcesThe resources in this edition make one thing clear: the teams investing in measurement and deliberate friction are pulling ahead, while the ones chasing capability are stalling. These resources challenge the assumption that faster and more capable automatically means better outcomes.* Removing struggle from AI workflows destroys the learning that builds expertise. Teams should audit which friction to keep and which to cut. Against Frictionless AI — Inzlicht & Bloom in Nature* AI users learned 17% less without any efficiency gains. How your team uses AI matters more than whether they use it. How AI Impacts Skill Formation — Shen & Tamkin RCT* Two years of capability gains with only modest reliability improvement. The barrier to growth isn't what models can do — it's whether you can trust them. The Capability-Reliability Gap — Narayanan et al.* Polished AI outputs reduce critical evaluation by users. Build in friction points that force your team to think before accepting. (Anthropic studying its own product — read accordingly.) Anthropic AI Fluency Index* AI forces strategic clarity because you cannot delegate logic you haven't articulated. That's a feature, not a bug. Strategy as Protocol — Schwarzmann via Scaman* Six functional AI categories that sharpen how teams talk about what they're building. Precision in language is precision in product decisions. AI Taxonomy — Jashanmal* Mapping 50 AI startups across six pricing models reveals that pricing is a product decision, not a finance one. Get it wrong and adoption stalls regardless of quality. How to Price AI Products — Gupta* Wade Foster shut Zapier down for a week-long AI hackathon. Adoption went from 10% to 50% in five days. Adoption follows experience, not mandates. Zapier's Code Red HackathonProduct Impact NewsThis is the news that matters. Reliability failures are making headlines, benchmark credibility is collapsing, and even the market leaders can't prove product-market fit. The gap between what AI can do and what it can prove is widening, not closing.* ChatGPT missed diabetic ketoacidosis and respiratory failure in 52% of emergency cases. Suicide-risk alerts fired inconsistently. Reliability is the product, not a feature to ship later. ChatGPT Health Under-Triaged 52% of Emergencies* LLMs chose nuclear strikes in 95% of simulated crises. The nuclear taboo is no impediment to AI escalation — a stark reminder that evaluation stakes extend beyond product. AI Models Chose Nuclear Strikes in 95% of Simulated Crises* Google patent US12536233B1 lets it generate its own landing page from your product feed if yours scores below threshold. Own your experience or someone else will. Google Patented AI Landing Pages That Replace Your Storefront* 84% of the world has never used AI. Only 0.3% pay for it. The growth opportunity is massive — but only for teams that solve adoption, not just access. 84% of the World Has Never Used AI* 80% of ChatGPT users sent fewer than 1,000 messages in 2025. Even the market leader hasn't solved product-market fit. Capability alone isn't enough. OpenAI Has No Moat and Engagement an Inch Deep* RCT shows AI tools made experienced developers work faster and take on broader tasks — without measurable output gains. Speed is not productivity. METR: Experienced Devs Saw Zero Productivity Gain* NIST finds standard benchmarks conflate different performance measures. Models with different scores may perform identically in production. Build your own evals. NIST: AI Benchmarks Don't Measure What They Claim* MIT reviewed 300+ AI implementations: 85% failed, 91% of models degrade silently. The 5% that succeeded built measurement into the product from day one. 85% of AI Projects Fail, 91% of Models Degrade SilentlyKey takeawaysThe throughline across this edition is unmistakable: capability without measurement is theater. From the METR study showing zero productivity gains for experienced developers to MIT's finding that 85% of AI projects fail, the evidence converges on one point — the teams that win are the ones that prove their AI works.* Measure outcomes, not activity. Completion rates, token counts, and session length tell you your AI is running — not that it's working. Define what “working” means for your business before you ship.* Protect judgment. Automate everything else. The roles being hollowed out aren't the ones doing rote work — they're the ones asking the hard questions. If you're automating decisions instead of tasks, you're cutting the wrong layer.* Friction is a feature. Research consistently shows that removing struggle from AI workflows destroys learning and degrades skill. Build in the friction that keeps your team sharp, and strip out the friction that just wastes time.If your AI product ships well but you can't prove it drives growth, that's the gap PH1 closes. We help teams define what success looks like for AI experiences and build the measurement systems to prove it — from product discovery through scale. ph1.caThank you for supporting the Product Impact PodcastEvery episode tackles the gap between what AI products promise and what they actually deliver.

    Cybersecurity Distribution and Shared Risk Models: Interview with Jason Beal of Exclusive Networks

    The episode centers on the evolving responsibility and risk allocation within cybersecurity distribution, with particular focus on Exclusive Networks' approach. Jason Beal, as president of Exclusive Networks North America, outlines their emphasis on a technical workforce, maintaining a 1:3 ratio of engineers to sales representatives. This structure is positioned to address the increasing complexity of cybersecurity and the demands faced by service provider partners, aiming to support solution integration and customer needs while clarifying each party's liability. Supporting this structure, Jason Beal identifies the role of the distributor as both an extension and enabler for MSPs and IT services companies. Distributors are expected to supplement partners' capabilities—whether technical, financial, or operational—without assuming technology failure risk, which remains with the original technology vendors. Discussion of shared responsibility models also distinguishes between sales success (customer adoption, retention) and risk management. Recent developments in cyber insurance are cited as having reduced the direct risk burden on MSPs, shifting much of the liability away from service providers toward technology creators, albeit within contractually defined limits. Adjacent to cybersecurity, the conversation addresses skill and adoption gaps prompted by rapid technical innovation, specifically referencing artificial intelligence (AI). Jason Beal quantifies educational efforts by highlighting a collaboration with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, which has seen 100 students engaged to help address workforce shortfalls in cybersecurity and AI. Additionally, academic experience informs the importance of modernizing IT operations curricula to better reflect current business challenges, such as cloud, AI, and global supply chain impacts. For MSPs and IT service providers, implications include the growing necessity to audit core competencies and allocate resources strategically, leveraging distributors not just for sourcing products but for specialized expertise, integration, and operational support. Risk mitigation remains tied to understanding contract language, vendor accountability, and developments in cyber insurance. The pace of AI and other technology adoption requires continuous education and careful evaluation of both operational risk and the practical limitations of solutions promoted by the channel and distribution partners.

    While some models aim to explain qualitative features of brain activity, other aim to reproduce experimental data quantitatively. If so, model parameters must be adjusted to make the model predictions fit the experimental data. A complication is that in most neurobiological applications, there is not a unique best fit: many parameter combinations give equally good model fits. Recently, the guest, together with colleagues, made the tool AutoMIND to fit spiking network models to data.

    BrainChip CEO Sean Hehir joins me to unpack where artificial intelligence is actually headed—and why the dominant “everything in the data center” narrative is incomplete.Most AI conversations fixate on massive models, GPU farms, and trillion-dollar infrastructure bets. This episode shifts the frame. Sean and I explore the structural reality that power consumption, latency, and grid constraints are forcing AI to decentralize—and what that means for founders, engineers, and the broader economy.Sean explains how neuromorphic computing and ultra-low-power silicon enable AI inference outside the data center—inside wearables, medical devices, drones, manufacturing systems, and even space applications. We examine why CPUs and GPUs aren't optimized for edge workloads, how custom silicon changes the economics, and why power efficiency isn't a side issue—it's the bottleneck that determines what scales.The conversation expands into workforce displacement, labor fluidity, productivity cycles, and whether technological acceleration inevitably creates unemployment crises—or simply reshuffles value creation again, as history repeatedly shows.This isn't a speculative futurism episode. It's a grounded look at model trends, infrastructure limits, and how companies survive inside a market moving at month-scale rather than decade-scale.The lesson isn't that AI replaces everything.It's that architecture determines outcomes.TL;DR* AI is centralizing in data centers—but it's also rapidly decentralizing to the edge* Power constraints will shape the next phase of AI more than hype cycles* Neuromorphic and event-driven silicon drastically reduce energy per compute* Edge AI enables medical wearables, safety detection, space systems, and industrial automation* Models are getting larger—but optimization techniques will shrink them into smaller form factors* Productivity gains historically displace tasks—not human adaptability* The future isn't about bigger servers—it's about smarter distribution* Lowest power per compute is a strategic advantage, not a marketing lineMemorable Lines* “Don't bet against humanity.

    AI momentum is accelerating, but real-world constraints are tightening. From hyperscaler infrastructure lock-ins and sovereign AI expansion to RAM shortages and enterprise AI pivots, Ep. 293 examines what truly determines leadership in the next phase of AI.   The handpicked topics for this week are: Meta & NVIDIA's Long-Term AI Infrastructure Partnership: Meta confirmed a deep infrastructure expansion across NVIDIA Blackwell and Rubin GPUs, Grace CPUs, and advanced networking. Pat & Dan discuss hyperscaler AI factories, overflow capacity strategies, and long-term compute commitments. Microsoft's Global South and Sovereign AI Expansion: As Microsoft continues major investment across India and emerging markets, the hosts explore sovereign cloud strategy, geopolitical positioning, and how global AI infrastructure buildouts shape long-term competitiveness. California AI Oversight and Regulatory Fragmentation Risk: State-level AI oversight initiatives raise concerns about a patchwork regulatory environment that could slow U.S. innovation relative to centralized global competitors. The HBM Memory Crunch and Long-Term Supply Constraints: High-Bandwidth Memory shortages continue to shape AI deployment timelines. Relief may not arrive until late this decade, with downstream impacts on data centers, PCs, and consumer devices. Infosys & Anthropic GSI Pivot to Enterprise AI Agents: Infosys partners with Anthropic to accelerate enterprise AI agent deployment. Hosts examine whether global systems integrators can pivot fast enough in an agent-driven economy. The Flip – Models vs Infrastructure Leadership: Is AI dominance determined by model quality or infrastructure scale? Pat & Dan debate whether gigawatts or algorithmic efficiency define long-term advantage. Bulls & Bears – Cyber, Power, EDA, SaaS & AI Infrastructure Plays: Earnings and market signals across Palo Alto Networks, Analog Devices, Cadence, ServiceNow, Dell, and Marvell highlight how execution, supply chains, and capital discipline matter in this cycle.
