We don't want the industry to fall apart, that's why we started this company.6 months ago, everyone was talking about model deployment. Now everyone has moved on to agentic AI deployment and autonomous agent swarms. But all of this is running on an infrastructure that itself is not automated.And this underlying infrastructure has massive GPU cluster systems. If even one GPU fails the whole training workload fails. You can't have 100,000 employees managing 100,000 GPUs. But LLMs are not the right solution for managing the infrastructure.Kandan and Randolph have spent decades operating large-scale telecom and cloud infrastructure, in a world where pagers used to run lives of people managing it. With MantisGrid they have come together to build 'The' model for AI infrastructure.Watch the episode to understand why making AI infrastructure autonomous is so important, why LLMs are not the answer, and what it takes to build the systems that will keep millions of agents running.00:00 — Invisible Infrastructure Behind AI01:05 — The Pager Nightmare04:01 — The GPU Problem Nobody's Solving05:38 — The Cloud Infrastructure Story07:53 — Why Just Watching Isn't Enough09:35 — Building the Waymo of AI Infrastructure15:00 — How an Autonomous AI Infra System Works20:35 — What Happens to DevOps?22:46 — Why LLMs Shouldn't Run Production29:14 — The Path to a Billion Dollars32:06 — The Problem Hyperscalers Can't Solve37:03 — Earning Trust to Run Infrastructure39:55 — When Agents Start Managing Agents-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

This week, Byron talks with Steve "the Shovel Man" Zaragoza, co-host of Dynamic Banter (formerly of SourceFed and Cloverfeels), about his horror anthology audio drama "Gray Bones in a Grave," why festival horror isn't what it used to be, and an intriguing game of horror this-or-that that somehow ends with a modern cult classic on top.

Context has become one of the busiest categories in AI. Every CIO now wants context Engine. Every legacy data catalog and knowledge graph platform has started calling itslef a "context platform”.  At the same time reports say that 60% of CEOs say they've got $0 benefit from AI.To understand the nuances, on this episode we have Prukalpa, Founder of Atlan. Atlan started solving this problem back in 2020, long before it became the hottest category. And today it counts 20% of the Fortune 500 as customers with an 85% competitive win rate.Prukalpa explains how context for agents requires knowledge, expertise, and norms, why Gartner's “context is king” made the category hot but also created confusion in the market, and why companies now treat context as strategic IP.00:00 Context Is King03:20 From Data To Agents05:00 Scaling To 200 Customers06:37 Product Market Fit Truths11:19 Landing The First Customers18:44 Data Teams Couldn't Trust Their Data21:07 Building the Enterprise Brain26:19 Problem With Horizontal Products30:21 Why CIOs Buy Context Now34:59 Positioning in a New Category36:33 Context as a Business Asset37:20 The Shared Enterprise Brain40:50 Shaping the Category41:22 What is AI Native?43:21 Self Improving Company46:50 Team Patterns of Frontier Companies48:42 Judgment and Taste Matter More Now50:04 Atlan AI Experiments50:59 Building Investor Network55:14 Waterbridge to Peak XV to Insight59:37 Don't Rush to Find PMF01:01:57 Everyone Must Build01:06:17 Real Bottleneck to Scale Isn't Sales-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Kate Jones, Founder of Neon and author of the forthcoming book Deeply Human, explains how leaders can fix a broken world of work by replacing the hamster-wheel paradigm with five core capabilities: clarity of purpose, connection, consciousness, creativity, and care. She argues that self-care is a prerequisite for leading well and that people who feel well perform well. Learn more at https://www.deeplyneon.com

“You have to take crazy risks” Nikhil Gupta got fired at 42, made his first VC pitch in 2000, got the idea for ArmorCode while buying toilet paper during the pandemic and received his first VC cheque in 2020.Today ArmorCode has raised $81M, grown 100% year-over-year, and counts some of the world's largest enterprises as customers.Nikhil Gupta, Founder & CEO of ArmorCode, shares why he studied 7,000 security companies before starting up, why 3 early customers can be the "kiss of death" for startups, why customers don't always tell founders the truth, why developers hate security tools and why security is the ultimate bottleneck to AI's growth.This conversation is as much about enterprise security as it is about a founder's conviction and refusing to give up on a dream.-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

SUBURBAKNIGHT: Act Three Walter Knope has spent most of his life avoiding confrontation. That is about to become difficult. Walter, Samantha and Bobby Joe cross the street armed with a sword, a crossbow, a mace, a revolver and one deeply impractical suit of medieval armor. Richard is waiting. So is the rest of the neighborhood. Inside Richard's house they discover the party has evolved into something considerably less HOA-approved. Music. Neon. Blood. An orgy full of succubi. Richard sitting above it all like Satan's sexiest homeowners association president. Samantha asks where her daughter is. Then shoots Richard through the eye with a crossbow. It barely slows him down. Written by Nick Bannister, SUBURBAKNIGHT reaches its gloriously unhinged conclusion as Walter's fight to save his family becomes a full-scale supernatural war over everything he thought he had already lost. Richard separates them. Walter gets beaten nearly unconscious. Samantha is pulled into a seductive nightmare built from everything she thinks she wants. And Bobby Joe does what any legendary demon hunter would do when confronted with actual demons. He runs. Unfortunately, Richard isn't finished with him either. Bobby Joe finds himself inside the greatest fantasy of his life: back on the set of Terror Vision, surrounded by beautiful women telling him he's brilliant. Even Bobby Joe eventually realizes something is wrong. When the illusion breaks, he finds Mia. Or at least something wearing Mia. One conveniently placed antique mirror later, Bobby Joe finally discovers that some of his monster-movie bullshit may actually be useful. For perhaps the first time in his life, Bobby Joe Williams earns the title: Demon Hunter. Mia is safe. Her parents aren't. So Bobby Joe locks her in his van and goes back inside. Walter and Bobby Joe reunite, fight their way through Richard's newly demonic neighbors and discover something hidden beneath the perfect suburban house. A passageway. An underground chamber. And portraits proving Richard has been doing this for centuries. At the end of the tunnel, Walter finds Samantha. Richard has already gotten to her. Now Walter has to do something harder than fighting a demon. He has to remind his wife why she loved him in the first place. College. Their first night together. Bringing Mia home. Losing his father. Twenty years of marriage, mistakes, resentment, forgiveness and everything that somehow survived underneath it. For once, Walter gets the words right. And Richard discovers that a disappointing middle-aged husband with an antique sword, a pissed-off wife and a washed-up horror host can be surprisingly difficult to kill. What follows involves swords, guns, fire, a full-size demon, one extremely unfortunate anatomical injury and Bobby Joe's panel van. Because sometimes saving your marriage takes work. Sometimes it takes therapy. And sometimes it takes blowing up an incubus. Starring Darin Toonder, Jim O'Heir, Jade Tailor, Jack Daniel, Rob Fitzgerald, Logan Laurel, Emily Brolin, Ashley Platz, and Zeke Alton.

How do you fix a $5 Trillion Industry which wastes $500 Billion on mouse clicks every year?By not considering even a $100 Billion company a success. By hiring people who are heat-seeking missiles for pain. By questioning every default. By solving hard problems, then choosing even harder ones. By moving with an urgency that surprises everyone but you.In this episode, Tanay Tandon, Co-Founder & CEO, Commure explains why US healthcare is a massive but inefficient market, which pays ~$500B in administrative “work tax,” and how language models and agentic software can automate much of that work, make healthcare feel like a Waymo, and give healthcare professionals more time to focus on actual care.Watch this episode to learn what it takes to build and win in a massive, inefficient market. 00:00 - Heat-Seeking Missiles for Pain01:30 - Speed Above Everything03:11 - The $5 Trillion Healthcare Problem03:56 - Epic Wasn't Built for AI06:13 - The $500 Billion Admin Leak07:24 - Why Healthcare Moves Slowly10:14 - Why Hospitals Are Hard to Sell To12:09 - The Real Opportunity Is Labour13:41 - Point Solution or Platform?15:16 - One Customer Pays $100 Million22:46 - More Bad Days Than Good Days25:18 - AI Changed the Healthcare Game28:40 - Incentives Matter More Than Technology30:24 - Healthcare's App Store Moment32:20 - Why $100 Billion Isn't Big Enough36:19 - Who Takes the Blame When AI Gets It Wrong?38:32 - The Waymo Moment for Healthcare39:46 - How the Best Startups Hire42:12 - Customer Obsession Beats Everything43:52 - Stop Paying the AI Experiment Tax51:10 - Insurance Companies Are Terrific Enemies55:34 - The Hidden Opportunities in Healthcare59:35 - How to Win AI Talent War-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

3-2-1. This week, John, El'Ahrai, and Cati (The Blonde in Front) review three films this week, all three of them on the first ("The Dog Stars"), El'Ahrai and Cati on the second ("Buddy"), and John alone on the third ("Coyote vs. Acme"). Which will come out triumphant? But wait, there's more! We also have details of the Neon Movie Bunker 20th Anniversary Whatever! (Here's a hint: twitch.tv/neonmoviebunker--but when?!) Plus newsbits, video picks, and the usual foolishness. You should listen! He respects me. He loves me. And he's never boring.

Filmmaker Karen Lam is a bundle of delicious incongruities in human form. On one hand, Karen is a master of highly stylised horror. Films like The Curse of Willow Song, Evangeline, and Mrs. Chang's Perfect Teeth are terrifying and thoughtful, gruesome and evocative – and you wouldn't be faulted for thinking that the writer-director behind these films is a spooky word-slinger. But on the other hand, Karen is whimsical. She loves knitting and sewing, cats and Muppets, and does Manitoba proud with everything she does. She's the least Karen Karen you'll ever meet – and her latest film Armageddon Road might be the most unapologetically Karen Lam film she's ever made. Armageddon Road is a darkly comic supernatural road trip set in 1976 Las Vegas where ambition, myth, and apocalypse collide. Steve, an ex-con with big dreams of building a theme-park empire from a desert parking lot, takes a simple job: driving Delilah, a mob boss's girlfriend, through the Vegas night. But after a party spirals into chaos, Delilah dies—only to return possessed by one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. What follows is a delirious descent into prophecy and paranoia as Delilah—now something far older and far less human—commands Steve toward a predetermined rendezvous that will trigger the end of days. In other words: Armageddon Road is a helluva lot of psychedelic fun, which is appropriate, because so is Karen. Armageddon Road had its official Canadian premiere on August 5, and begins its cross-country tour in Toronto on September 3 – and it's got some other screenings in other countries, too. Karen Lam joins Sabrina in the YVR Screen Scene Podcast studio to talk 1970s nostalgia, why Gen X reigns as the survivor generation, the giddy glee she experienced working with miniatures, and what she and her team found in Nevada when they went in search of that distinctive neon-drenched Vegas vibe. YVR Screen Scene is a division of Fish Flight Entertainment.

Neon Bloodbath: Welcome to the Slaughterhouse (Tokyo Vampire Hotel – Episode 5) The doors are locked, the blood is flowing, and the Binge Buddies are back for another wild ride! This week on Neon Bloodbath, we are digging into Episode 5 of Tokyo Vampire Hotel. The grim reality of Hotel Requiem has fully set in for the trapped human guests, who are now forced to navigate their terrifying new existence as literal livestock for the Corvin clan. As Yamada and the neo-vampires tighten their grip on their captive food supply, the sheer absurdity and brutality of Sion Sono's vision kicks into high gear. But the Draculas aren't going down without a fight. Join Bryan, Matt, Ryan, and Joel as they break down the escalating tension, K's relentless and bloody mission, and the chaotic power struggles happening inside the hotel's neon-drenched walls. We discuss the wildest moments, the escalating human desperation, and how the show continues to dial up the madness. Lock your doors and guard your necks!

The exhibition was titled Ecce Signum, Latin for “Behold the Sign.” The title was emblematic of the artist's play with a medium often associated with signage as well as his interest in symbols. Now, thirty-four years later, the title for his follow-up exhibition translates as “Behold the Craftsman.” The title serves as a testament to the simultaneous humility and staggering skill neon craftspeople cultivate in order to create their works. Flechtner's best-known public work in Los Angeles is the Neon Aquarium at Olympic and Sawtelle completed in 1998. In 1999 he became a J. Paul Getty Trust Fund Fellow. He was commissioned by the US Postal Service in 2011 to design a stamp for the Forever series: the Celebrate! Stamp. The original work of art is held in the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.

In which our heroes get a lil spicy

W 2026 roku mija 100 lat, odkąd w Warszawie pojawił się pierwszy neon. Znajdował się on na dachu willi Marconiego, na rogu ulicy Marszałkowskiej i Alei Jerozolimskich oraz reklamował Browar Haberbusch i Schiele. Od tamtego momentu neony – atrakcyjne wizualnie i przyciągające wzrok – zaczęły pojawiać się regularnie w różnych miastach. Światło stało się narzędziem przekazu w przestrzeni publicznej, a neony miały nieść natychmiastowy i czytelny komunikat. Po wojnie z nośnika reklamowego neon stał się integralną częścią architektury oraz ważnym elementem wizualnym miasta. Nie był już tylko szyldem, w którym forma podporządkowana była treści handlowej.

Looking back, what did that transition teach the company, and how does it position DSTLRY differently heading into the rest of 2026? You've said from the beginning that DSTLRY wasn't trying to become "just another publisher." Now that the initial launch period is behind you, what do you think defines DSTLRY's identity today compared to when you first announced the company? We've seen collections like Warm Fusion and A Mischief of Magpies join the schedule alongside new single issues. How important is building a strong hardcover library for DSTLRY's long-term vision, especially as more readers discover these books after their initial release? Neon Ichiban has grown quickly from a digital comics platform into something that feels much more creator-focused. At what point did you realize the platform could become more than simply a place to read comics? The new partnership with Scott's Collectibles brings a huge roster of creators into Neon Ichiban's digital remarques program. Why was that collaboration the right next step, and how do you see it changing the experience for fans who collect sketches and signatures? One of the most intriguing ideas behind Neon Ichiban is the Digital Fast-Pass at conventions. Do you see this as solving a long-standing problem for fans who spend hours waiting in Artist Alley, or is the bigger goal expanding access to creators beyond the convention itself? You've spent years thinking about where comics are headed digitally, first at Comixology and now with Neon Ichiban. What do you think today's readers expect from a digital comic that they didn't expect even five years ago? Both DSTLRY and Neon Ichiban seem to share the same philosophy: giving creators more opportunities while giving fans new ways to engage with their work. Is there a bigger vision connecting those two efforts, and where do you hope they are a year from now after another SDCC has come and gone?

"It Ends" is a 2025 American road-horror thriller film written, directed, and edited by Alexander Ullom in his directorial debut. It stars Phinehas Yoon, Akira Jackson, Noah Toth, and Mitchell Cole. It follows a group of graduates who go on a late-night drive but accidentally turn onto a two-lane highway that appears to go on indefinitely. The film premiered at the 2025 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival, where it received positive reviews but struggled to find a distributor. It was made available as a digital rental for a limited period in December 2025, via the Letterboxd Video Store. Due to its success on the platform, the film was later acquired by NEON. Ullom was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the film, its long road to getting released, and what he has coming up next in his just beginning, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from NEON. Thank you, and enjoy! https://youtu.be/K4s7OJXFLJM Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

Neon Bloodbath: Cattle Call (Tokyo Vampire Hotel – Episode 4) It's time for check-in on the next episode of Binge Buddies! This week, we are dissecting Episode 4 of Tokyo Vampire Hotel, and the situation inside the Requiem Hotel has officially gone from weird to absolutely brutal. The Corvins have dropped the facade, turning their captive mortal guests into a literal blood farm, forcing them to live like caged animals. The humans mount a desperate rebellion, but as you might expect in a Sion Sono joint, it doesn't exactly go well. Meanwhile, the underground resistance is making moves. K finally reunites with Noa, and together they orchestrate a covert mission to bring Manami face-to-face with the remnants of the Dracula clan. It's here that Manami finally learns the heavy burden of her true destiny. Join Bryan, Matt, Ryan, and Joel as we talk about the grim realities of the hotel's new rules, the tragic doomed romance of K and Noa, and how the massive mythology of this show is finally starting to click together. The rebellion has begun, and the Binge Buddies are on the front lines!

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area.  Emily & AIA is glad to partner with The Svane Family Foundation's Culture Forward initiative — a $5 million grant program to support arts and culture projects in downtown San Francisco.  In the first of episodes, Emily chats with Kelsey Issel, a neon artist and also the Director for the Culture Forward initiative.  Kelsey traces her path from organizing the renegade Fountain Art Fair in the early 2010s (including a memorable "war of the inflatables" with union protesters at the 69th Regiment Armory) to co-founding She Bends, a women's neon arts collective. She discusses the foundation's unconventional approach to philanthropy, which began with giving 100 artists $10,000 each during COVID and evolved into Culture Forward — a general-support grant designed to get cash quickly into artists' hands with the explicit understanding that "some projects might fail." The episode also highlights the foundation's earlier million-dollar gifts to the Headlands Foundation Fellowship Program and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, which enabled the acquisition of works from 30 local contemporary artists — several of whom have been past guests on the podcast. About Artist Kelsey Issel: Kelsey Issel is a culture worker, artist and curator whose practice centers the ethos of craft—learning through doing, cultivating attention, and recognizing the social responsibility held within materials. She leads Opie Project (space), an arts and culture firm that develops cross-sector programs investing in cultural capital, with partners including the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Headlands Center for the Arts, the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development, the Port of San Francisco, and Coca-Cola. With a background in alternative photography, car mechanics, and neon, Kelsey's hands-on material practice informs her approach to curating, programming, and public initiatives. Her work bridges art and infrastructure, sustaining cultural ecosystems and the communities that grow around them. Issel was the 2025/2026 Antigravity Residency Artist with Corning Museum of Glass and Rockwell Museum and sits on the Board of Directors at Southern Exposure in San Francisco.

When frontier labs can build everything, when moving fast doesn't mean what it used to, and when what was impossible can now be done in days, what do you build and how do you build it?Krishna M is an AI Partner at Elevation Capital. He has seen the 0-to-1 journey twice as a founder and has also experienced what large-scale building looks like at tech giants like Meta and Cohesity.In this episode, we discuss why a founder's fearlessness and ambition will define the destiny of the company far more than technical skills. Krishna shares how Indian founders have come a long way and now build like they know no fear. We then explore how OpenAI and Anthropic have changed what it takes to build startups, and what founder traits are needed to create outlier companies in this era.Watch this episode to understand the new definition of startup speed and what to build when frontier labs can build entire product categories themselves.01:00 From 2x Founder to AI Investor03:37 Why Bet on the US-India Corridor07:07 Can Indian Founders Build Giants?10:13 What Makes Krishna Bet on a Founder?12:33 The Founder Traits That Matter in AI14:18 Why Speed Is the New GTM17:52 The New AI Founder19:13 How Krishna Builds Conviction23:26 Why Elevation Bet on Portkey28:20 How Elevation Evaluates AI Startups31:17 The AI Security Opportunity32:04 Your PMF Can Die in a Quarter32:57 Why Open Source Still Matters34:11 India's Infrastructure Advantage36:51 Where the Next AI Opportunities Are41:35 What Matters Beyond Revenue43:36 Why India + US Is a Powerful Combination44:59 What Cohesity Taught Him About Scale47:13 Selling Data to Broke Professors50:18 Why Two Weeks in SF Won't Work52:06 Fundraising Trap Founders Miss56:47 Outliers Aren't Well-Rounded58:49 "We're Wrong More Than We're Right"-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

This week's episode is a real treat: I'm joined by Alex Ullom, the 28-year-old writer/director of It Ends, and he provided a real window into the process of getting a low-budget indie movie made. His story has everything: fundraising from professional magicians; a first cut that didn't work at all; acceptance into SXSW followed by no offers to buy the movie; a grassroots groundswell that got it the attention of Letterboxd; and, finally, a pickup by leading indie distributor Neon for release this week. It's playing in Los Angeles and New York City this week before expanding wide next week, and I cannot stress this enough: if you liked Backrooms or enjoyed the existential dread of Exit 8, you have GOT to go see It Ends.

One of horror's most dependable constants are Stephen King adaptations. The latest one takes a book that mixes one of the author's greatest strengths. King is great at mixing grounded scares with supernatural horror. Which is why the team announced to work on Desperation is interesting. Plus, another clever marketing stunt from Neon. We have not discussed the Paramount-WB merger. And for good reason. We do not know enough about it and we kinda don't give a shit. But there is some interesting news to come out of it. Apparently with the rights for A Nightmare on Elm Street all over the place, both studios are scrambling to get a new movie out first. How sweet, fresh meat. Buffet Infinity gets off to one of the strongest starts we have seen for any movie possibly ever. It is clever, funny, creepy, and mysterious. The indie horror is a mix of found footage and sketch comedy that manages to be familiar and unique at the same time. Through the first act, it seemed like we had found something really special. The film then proceeded to take one of the greatest nose dives we have ever seen. It becomes completely derailed and goes from being about two warring restaurants to just a bunch of unexplained nonsense. Nothing makes sense and it is clear that an ending was never penned for this mess. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Everyone's posting their AI projects online like proud pet owners sharing videos of their cat doing something marginally impressive — cute, occasionally clever, sometimes a little cringe. And the Analytics Power Hour is no different! In this co-hosts-only episode, Tim, Michael, and Julie skip the thought leadership hot takes and just… compare notes. What have they actually built? What broke? What surprised them? From a custom GPT podcast librarian to a full-blown show production app wired up to Neon, Vercel, Resend, and about five other things Michael is only sort of sure he set up correctly, to a Gemini Gem that simulates a client interaction so realistically it raises your blood pressure in a safe environment — there's a lot of ground covered. Plus: why AI-generated communication has a Stevia aftertaste, why deploying AI context across a team is way harder than it looks, and why the LLM will absolutely tell you what you want to hear about your Meta spend if you give it half a chance.
