AI's increasing presence in the legal field is raising significant concerns, particularly regarding the accuracy of information generated by these systems. Judges have reported a notable rise in AI-generated inaccuracies, with 23 instances of fake legal citations identified since May 1st. Legal data analyst Damien Chartland has documented 120 cases where courts recognized AI's hallucinations, which include fabricated legal quotes and non-existent authorities. This trend indicates a shift in responsibility, as lawyers are now accountable for these errors, contrasting with previous instances where self-represented individuals were primarily at fault. The implications are serious, with courts imposing fines exceeding $10,000 for AI misuse.The impact of automation extends beyond the legal sector, as a recent report highlights the potential for AI to exacerbate the gender employment gap. In high-income countries, the risk of women facing job automation has risen to 9.6%, while the risk for men is significantly lower at 3.5%. Jobs traditionally held by women, such as administrative roles, are particularly vulnerable to automation. Experts warn that without substantial changes in the labor market, women may face increased challenges in securing stable employment, as their work often shifts toward household tasks rather than formal employment.In the tech industry, Databricks has revealed that 80% of new databases created on their NEON platform were generated by AI agents, showcasing the growing influence of non-developers in coding. This trend emphasizes the need for companies to adapt to remain competitive, focusing on optimizing products for visibility to large language models. Meanwhile, Zoom's CEO has begun using an AI avatar for quarterly earnings calls, raising questions about authenticity and trust in corporate communication. The use of AI avatars could level the playing field for small business leaders but also introduces risks such as impersonation and misuse.Finally, Qualcomm has challenged Apple's claims regarding the performance of its in-house C1 modem, asserting that it falls short compared to Qualcomm's existing technology. A study found that Android devices powered by Qualcomm outperformed the iPhone 16e in both download and upload speeds, particularly in urban environments. Despite these challenges, Apple aims for full-stack control over its technology, and while the initial performance may not meet expectations, the company is known for its ability to iterate and improve rapidly. This ongoing competition highlights the dynamic nature of the tech industry and the importance of innovation.  Four things to know today  00:00 The Hidden Costs of AI: Legal Fines, Workforce Disruption, and the Rise of Unchecked Automation in the Enterprise05:51 New AI Integrations From OpenAI, Salesforce, and GoTo Push Deeper Into MSP Value Chain—Control or Be Commoditized09:01 From Efficiency to Deception?

Camaro Kev swings by to tell Luke and Andrew about his time in some of the sketchiest dive bars the greater Vancouver, WA, area has to offer. They also get a much needed update from Coach Ben on the TBTL Junior Sluggers. And Andrew is still glowing after his day of hot Whirleyball action.

On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Randy Dixon of the non-profit group in Pocatello, Idaho called Relight The Night - for Part 2 of a miniseries we like to call "The Mystery of the Giant Neon Baseball & Bat at Sicks Stadium." Mr. Dixon is our guide to a little-known world of neon collectors and experts in the United States, and offers his help to determine what might have become of the distinctive sign from the old baseball park in Seattle, which was last seen circa 1979. Be sure and visit the CASCADE OF HISTORY Facebook page for photos of the amazing neon signs preserved and maintained by Relight The Night in the Gem State. CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Standard Time via SPACE 101.1 FM and gallantly streams via space101fm.org. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Ken has produced a dozen feature films, with an impressive filmography that includes working with cinematic titans like Martin Scorsese on the powerful drama Silence, and Terrence Malick on his contemplative films Song to Song and Knight of Cups. He also produced the action-comedy The Nice Guys, starring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, and The Glass Castle, adapted from the bestselling book by Jeannette Walls and starring Brie Larson and Woody Harrelson. His work also extends to the intense Western Hostiles starring Christian Bale, the suspenseful Tau, and the gritty police drama Rampart. His recent projects include the highly anticipated Project Hail Mary, again starring Ryan Gosling, and the horror film Cuckoo. It's worth noting that Ken also co-founded a production company with his frequent collaborator, the acclaimed actor and filmmaker Ryan Gosling, a partnership dedicated to developing a wide range of unique material for film and television. Ken's dedication to diverse and impactful storytelling truly sets him apart. Join Giles and Ken as they delve into the intricate world of film producing.

Send us a textToday we're going to talk about something that's become more than just a buzzword—it's become a mandate.Innovate or die.That might sound dramatic, but in healthcare, it's reality. With rapidly shrinking margins, increasing administrative burdens, staffing shortages, and an ever-changing technological landscape, standing still is the fastest way to fall behind. And yet, so many medical groups are still relying on outdated processes, inefficient systems, and legacy thinking.Today, we're exploring three companies that are shaking things up—in a good way. These aren't just startups with cool logos. These are game-changing platforms solving very real problems that medical groups face every day.We'll look at Beginly Health, which is completely reimagining physician recruitment with a platform that functions more like a dating app than a traditional recruiter. Then we'll turn to Neon Health, an AI-driven solution that tackles one of the biggest bottlenecks in care delivery—prior authorizations. And finally, we'll look at Rivet Health, a powerful denial management tool that's helping revenue cycle teams stop leaving money on the table. We've worked with each of these companies, and they all have innovative leadership teams, and smart solutions for medical groups. Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Databricks just snatched up another AI company. This week, data analytics giant announced a $1 billion acquisition of Neon, a startup building an open-source alternative to AWS Aurora Postgres. It's the latest in a spree of high-profile buys, joining MosaicML and Tabular, as Databricks positions itself as the place to build, deploy, and scale AI-native applications.  Today, on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Max Zeff, and Anthony Ha unpack the Databricks–Neon deal, where Neon's serverless Postgres tech fits into the larger vision, and whether $1 billion still counts as “a lot of money” these days (spoiler: Kirsten and Anthony are on the fence). Listen to the full episode to hear about: Chime's long-awaited IPO plans and what the neobank's S-1 did (and didn't) reveal.

This week, the crop El'Ahrai and John see fit to review are "Clown in a Cornfield" and "Paddington in Peru"! (Ooh, alliteration!)

Step into the neon night with "Neon M" – a synthwave tribute to one of the most iconic performance machines ever built: the BMW M3. From the legendary E30 to the turbocharged G80, this retro-futuristic track pulses with nostalgia, horsepower, and pure Bavarian soul. Hit play, ride the grid, and let the spirit of the M3 light up your world.

Ever wondered what the Met Gala would look like if it were designed for runners instead of celebrities? Picture the World Marathon Majors as fashion houses, each with their signature aesthetic—Boston's traditional navy and gold, New York's urban grit, London's royal elegance. This playful reimagining opens the door to something deeper: how what we wear impacts how we run and feel.Welcome to the world of "dopamine dressing," where bright colors, bold patterns, and joy-sparking outfits can genuinely transform your running experience. This isn't just fashion advice—it's grounded in the psychology of how visual cues affect our brain chemistry and mood. Those neon shorts aren't just making a statement; they're potentially pulling you out of a training slump by triggering positive emotional responses. Whether you're adding a pop of color to your usual black ensemble, sporting a mantra tee, or embracing full "sparkle therapy" with sequined accessories, these choices can disrupt monotonous routines and multiply joy during your miles.May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to explore these connections between appearance, performance, and wellbeing. For mother runners navigating what Coach Christine calls "Maycember"—that overwhelming season of recitals, graduations, and end-of-year chaos—finding ways to maintain running routines requires particular creativity and self-compassion. The practical strategies shared here (shortening runs without eliminating them, stacking exercise with existing commitments, focusing on mental benefits over performance) offer permission to embrace imperfection while still honoring your needs. Remember that showing up for yourself, however that looks today, sets a powerful example of self-care and sustains your wellbeing during high-stress periods.Ready to add more sparkle to your running life? Join the Stride Collective Facebook group for themed virtual run weekends inspired by the Run Disney Summer Series. Because ultimately, running isn't about going the furthest or fastest—it's about celebrating how far you've come, one joy-filled stride at a time.Have questions or want to chat?

Puffins are known for their flashy bills, striped like a giant piece of candy-corn. New research has found that the bills of Atlantic Puffins glow brightly under ultraviolet blacklights. Neon, curved streaks appeared between the different colored segments of a puffin's bill in this lighting. It's possible that the UV highlights help the birds further stand out to potential mates. For the experiment, researchers made special puffin sunglasses to protect the birds' eyes.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
