Most technology entrepreneurs spend months refining code, building products, and solving technical challenges. Yet a strong Startup Legal Foundation is often the difference between building a sustainable company and creating a future legal problem. In this conversation with attorney and former Johnson & Johnson Assistant General Counsel Phil Crowley, the discussion focused on a reality many developers overlook: businesses rarely fail because of technology alone. Often, the problems emerge from legal structures, ownership disputes, contracts, intellectual property protection, and decisions made long before revenue arrives. Who Is Phil Crowley? Phil Crowley is the Founder and Managing Partner of Crowley Law LLC. Before launching his own practice, he spent approximately three decades as Assistant General Counsel at Johnson & Johnson, working closely with business leaders, innovators, and technology-focused organizations. His background is particularly unique because he began his professional career as a research physicist before transitioning into law. That combination enables him to bridge the communication gap that often exists between technical founders and legal professionals. Crowley now focuses on helping technology entrepreneurs commercialize innovation while avoiding common legal mistakes that can derail growth. Follow Phil on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philcrowleynjny/ Why a Startup Legal Foundation Matters Before Revenue Many founders treat legal work as something to address after customers arrive. That approach creates risk. The reality is that every startup begins making legal decisions from day one: Who owns the intellectual property? How is ownership divided? What happens if a founder leaves? Who can sign contracts? How are contractors handled? What entity owns the software? These decisions influence future funding opportunities, acquisitions, and partnerships. A company can have a brilliant product and still become difficult to invest in if ownership questions remain unresolved. Investors often evaluate risk before opportunity. Legal uncertainty increases risk immediately. Startup Legal Foundation and Founder Agreements One of the strongest themes from the discussion was the importance of written agreements between founders. Many startups begin as conversations between friends. The problem is that friendships and business responsibilities rarely remain static. As companies grow: People relocate Career priorities change Family responsibilities increase Contributions become uneven Without written agreements, disagreements become emotional instead of objective. A founder who contributed heavily during the early stages may feel entitled to ongoing ownership. Another founder may feel burdened by carrying the company forward. Neither perspective is necessarily wrong. The issue is that expectations were never documented. A well-designed founder agreement creates clarity before conflict exists. Startup Legal Foundation Creates Predictability When ownership structures are documented early: Expectations become visible Responsibilities become clear Future disputes become easier to resolve Investors gain confidence This isn't about preparing for failure. It's about preparing for growth. Protecting Intellectual Property Before It Becomes Valuable Many technical founders assume intellectual property protection can wait until revenue arrives. Crowley highlighted why this assumption creates problems. Software, inventions, processes, algorithms, and technical innovations often represent the most valuable assets inside a startup. Yet ownership can become surprisingly complicated. Questions emerge, such as: Did a contractor build part of the system? Was university research involved? Did a founder create code before the company existed? Was confidential information publicly disclosed? These situations can weaken ownership claims. For technology companies, intellectual property isn't simply a legal asset. It becomes the foundation of company value. If ownership is unclear, the company's market value may decrease significantly, regardless of product quality. Startup Legal Foundation Requires the Right Legal Partner Another important takeaway was Crowley's perspective on choosing legal counsel. Many entrepreneurs focus solely on finding a lawyer. The better objective is finding a lawyer who understands the business. The best legal advisors don't simply explain laws. They help founders understand consequences. That distinction matters. A lawyer who understands startup operations can help founders evaluate: Entity selection Ownership structures Investor agreements Commercial contracts Growth risks The relationship becomes strategic rather than transactional. Startup Legal Foundation Benefits from Industry Specialists Not all legal expertise is interchangeable. A lawyer specializing in technology startups understands issues that general practitioners may rarely encounter. That specialization often leads to: Better guidance Faster solutions Lower long-term costs Stronger protection The goal isn't finding the biggest law firm. It's finding the right expertise. Ask other founders which legal professionals they trust. Personal recommendations often outperform online searches. Learning from Accelerators and Startup Networks Crowley also emphasized the value of startup accelerators and mentorship programs. Many founders assume they must figure everything out themselves. That mindset slows growth. Accelerators often provide access to: Legal advisors Business mentors Funding networks Operational guidance Experienced entrepreneurs These ecosystems exist because communities benefit when startups succeed. Founders who leverage these resources gain access to lessons that would otherwise take years to learn. Conclusion Technology founders naturally focus on building products. But products alone do not create durable companies. A strong Startup Legal Foundation helps protect intellectual property, clarify ownership, strengthen contracts, and reduce avoidable risk. The legal decisions made during the earliest stages of a company frequently determine how easily that company can scale, attract investment, and survive unexpected challenges. The strongest startups aren't just built on innovation. They're built on a foundation capable of supporting innovation long after launch. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community
StealthPort is made right here in the USA, and we're proud to carry them. Ryan has been running one on his own bike for years, and this update video covers the seven new models he's most excited about, plus a full rundown of charging accessories to help you get the most out of whatever port you install. We've added seven new models to the Law Abiding Biker Store, opening up a ton of new options for heated gear, charging, and accessories. If you already own a StealthPort, this video is going to make you want to upgrade. If you're new to it, this is the perfect time to get one. Shop the full StealthPort lineup — all original models and all seven new ones — at the Law Abiding Biker Store. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Nothing is being discontinued. The original mid-frame mounts, top mounts, and heat deflector mounts are all still available and still the right choice for a lot of riders — it just depends on what gear you're running. If a single SAE port is all you need, those original models are solid. I ran a single mid-frame mount for years using a Gerbing SAE-to-barrel plug conversion cord from the Law Abiding Biker Store to power my heated gear. It works great. But as you'll see below, the new models open up options that make it hard to go back. One important note: if your bike has heat deflectors, you need the heat deflector mount — not the standard mid-frame. Both are available in the store with full fitment information. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Think through your setup before ordering: Single port, just need to tender and occasionally run one accessory? Original models or the new single heated panels work great. Want dedicated heated gear plug AND a free SAE port? Mid-frame heated panel or top mount single heated panel. Riding two-up with a passenger who also runs heated gear? Dual heated panel top mount. Want maximum SAE flexibility with conversion options? Double top mount. Softail? Coil mount or tank mount depending on your year. Heat deflectors? Make sure you get the heat deflector mount — it's in the store. For pre-2024 Harleys without factory accessory barrel plugs, LAB carries the conversion cord that lets you connect directly to the battery. You're covered regardless of year. And yes — more models will be added over time. Check back at the Law Abiding Biker Store for the latest.

Microsoft has announced a series of updates at its Build 2026 conference, introducing a new platform for AI agents, seven new in-house AI models and a range of developer platform capabilities designed to support a new era of "ubiquitous intelligence". The company said the announcements are focused on enabling developers to build, deploy and manage intelligent systems with greater flexibility, control and security, while meeting enterprise requirements for governance and trust. Central to the updates is the new Microsoft Agent Platform, which allows developers to build agents using organisational context through Microsoft IQ, deploy them via Microsoft Foundry and access them across Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365. Microsoft said the platform is designed to reduce trade-offs between context and governance, security and speed, and between models and tools. Microsoft also announced that Microsoft IQ is now generally available across GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Foundry and Copilot Studio, providing a unified context layer across enterprise and external data. New capabilities include Work IQ, which captures how work happens across Microsoft 365, organisational systems and external sources, and Web IQ, an AI-first web search stack announced at Build that delivers real-time grounding for agents. Alongside the platform, Microsoft unveiled a new family of seven in-house AI models, including MAI-Thinking-1, its first reasoning model optimised for complex, multi-step tasks. Additional models span image generation, transcription, voice and coding, reinforcing what Microsoft described as a multi-model ecosystem. The company also introduced new tools across the stack, including Microsoft Execution Containers, now in preview, which provide secure, operating-system-enforced sandboxes for agents. The Foundry Agent Service, also in preview, for cloud-scale managed agent deployment; and the GitHub Copilot app, in preview, which brings agent-driven development workflows to a native desktop experience. Beyond software development, Microsoft highlighted applications in scientific research through its Microsoft Discovery platform, which is now generally available as an enterprise AI solution for the full scientific workflow. The company also outlined progress in quantum computing with its next-generation Majorana 2 chip, citing significant improvements in qubit reliability and a path towards a scalable quantum system later this decade. Microsoft said these advancements aim to position developers at the centre of innovation in the AI era, giving them greater agency to build intelligent systems with enterprise-grade controls and trust.

While Alyssa came to Reed planning to study economics and eventually go to law school, she ended up writing a psychology thesis on social anxiety, drinking motives, and alcohol use in gender-diverse communities. In this episode, Alyssa shares about her experience discovering clinical psychology at Reed and taking on a complex statistical analysis project that, despite her best efforts, didn't always cooperate with her intentions. Tune in to hear Alyssa reflect on how she learned to let go of preconceived notions of the “senior thesis,” how she has been continuing her psychology research post-grad, and how her senior year taught her to occasionally step away from the computer and touch grass. Reed community members can read Alyssa's thesis, "So What We Get Drunk: Social Anxiety, Drinking Motives, and Drinking Outcomes in an Emerging Adult Gender Diverse Community Sample," online in the Electronic Thesis Archive: https://rdc.reed.edu/i/bc3e756c-0b48-445d-807e-49da1a2372cf This is the last episode that our student producer, Ace Lackey '27, will produce for the podcast. We're sad to reach this end, but excited for Ace to start their senior year next year, and who knows, maybe they'll be back to do a mini-episode for us while they're working on their thesis.

The 1992 Los Angeles Uprising was sparked after a jury acquitted four LAPD officers who had been charged with using excessive force in the arrest and beating of Rodney King on April 29, 1992. With the anniversary of the civil unrest approaching, MHD and his co-host, Chavonne Taylor, discuss new policing and public safety models with PUSH LA (Promoting Unity, Safety & Health in Los Angeles) convener Leslie Cooper Johnson and former LAPD Officer Brian S. Bentley.Leslie Cooper Johnson is the Vice President of Organizational Development at Community Coalition, or CoCo, a social justice organization in South Los Angeles, where she has worked for the past 15 years. A lifelong resident of Inglewood, she received her Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. As part of her role at CoCo, Leslie convenes the PUSH LA collective, which stands for Promoting Unity, Safety & Health in Los Angeles. PUSH LA was formed in response to decades of racist policing and has a mission to “reimagine protect & serve.”Brian S. Bentley is an author and a former LAPD officer. His first book, One Time: The Story of a South Central Los Angeles Police Officer, graphically depicts his involvement in suspect beatings and describes in detail the gratification he and his partners received from their actions. He claims some officers are addicted to violence and can't stop on their own. His book lets readers see firsthand how police brutality is accepted and encouraged in law enforcement. Bentley spent most of his career at Southwest Division. He was one of the few LAPD officers who lived in the division they patrolled.

Is your job safe if it happens on a screen?In the past few weeks, AI hasn't just improved, it has crossed a line. From writing production-ready code to building full applications autonomously, the shift is no longer theoretical. It's operational.The reality? AI is moving from assistant to operator, faster than most leaders are prepared for.In this episode, we break down what's really happening behind the headlines, why this moment feels eerily similar to early 2020, and what business leaders must do now to avoid being caught off guard.If you lead people, manage budgets, or make strategic decisions, this conversation is not optional.In this session, you'll discover:Why a viral article comparing AI to early COVID signals a bigger structural shiftHow Claude 4.6 and GPT 5.3 are moving from “helpful tool” to “finished output”The real reason AI labs targeted software engineers firstWhy “anything that can be done on a computer” is now vulnerableHow AI built a full multi-agent production pipeline in 48 hoursWhat Gemini 3.1 Pro's benchmark leap actually meansWhy Accenture now ties promotions to AI usageHow AI insurance is removing enterprise adoption barriersWhat the India AI Summit revealed about global governance tensionsWhy OpenAI's $100B raise is both brilliant and dangerously high-stakesHow robotics is quietly moving from factory floors into daily lifeWhy hybrid human-AI workflows are temporary by designThe coming economic disruption — and where opportunity hides inside itAbout Leveraging AI The Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/ YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/ Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/events If you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!
This is an unlocked episode of New Models (originally released 01/31/2026) — to access all our content & to join the NM Discord, subscribe: patreon.com/newmodels newmodels.substack.com -- Gideon Jacobs returns to NM with his third essay in a trilogy for the LA Review of Books that tracks, in real-time, the American Political machine's delamination from everyday life through runaway story-drive. In “MAGA as Fan Fiction,” Gideon shows US politics both left and right as having become a read-write medium for collective creative expression more than material governance—a kind of kayfabe where ‘democracy' takes the form of citizens co-creating storyline with their elected officials and everyone in office has an IMDB profile. Carly & Lil Internet intro this ep with a short conversation drawing out themes across this trilogy that feel particularly NM Canon. “Of course, long before any advanced communication technologies, humans had been drawn not just to stories but also to the possibility of living as characters within them. Story's appeal had always been precisely that it's not like reality. […] a dream of existing free from the pesky flaws intrinsic to reality: uncontrollability, unpredictability, vulnerability, mundanity, complexity, incoherence, confusion, pain.” Audio production: Lil Internet For more: gideon.works/ Gideon Jacobs, “MAGA as Fan Fiction,” (Jan 2026) lareviewofbooks.org/article/trump-e…l-maga-reality/ Gideon Jacobs, “Player One and Main Character,” (Apr 2025) lareviewofbooks.org/article/player-…main-character/ Gideon Jacobs, “Trump l'Oeil,” (Nov 2024) lareviewofbooks.org/article/trump-loeil/
Guess who's been missing from this new wave of political organizing: CIS dudes. Alex grapples with how critique of toxic masculinity has left a gap in men's identity. And Sarah asks why so many progressive men are down to fuck, but not down to fight.

Taganistas may know Lil Internet from his music videos (Beyoncé, Diplo), his high-concept DJ mixes, or his ever-present voice on Twitter. Since 2017 his main focus has been New Models – a website, podcast and active Discord.But the reason we asked Lil Internet to join us on No Tags is his latest music project – a brand new, rule-based genre he's calling gencore. Showcased across two mixes released in 2024 and 2025, gencore is completely AI-generated from Udio. More controversially, Lil Internet proposes that gencore marks an evolution – or maybe even the endstate – of the hardcore continuum.Obviously this was catnip to us. We spent a great hour with Lil Internet talking about the AI music landscape, how Udio's quirks give AI music ‘soul', moral boundaries and Bandcamp's AI ban.And for the first 30 minutes of the show, we each pick a Winter Olympics sport, compare our gunmanship, and offer some recommendations – including Otto Benson, 6amsunset and They Are Gutting a Body of Water.We do No Tags for the love, but if you enjoy the show and want to show a little love back, you can do so for £5 per month.

New models this week from Anthropic and OpenAI A new Opus and a new Codex – the Agentic Coding war is only continuing to heat up. Both are now incredibly capable and are giving technical users who can't write code superpowers. Anthropic's new Legal plugin wiped $50 billion from the stock market The Co-Work plugin for Claude can review legal documents, flag risks, and track compliance. Legal tech stocks took a hammering. Harvey, a legal focused startup, does exactly the same thing as this plugin, and is/was valued at $8 billion. There are a lot of AI startups that are "wrappers", basically adding some UI or workflow on top of these models. We're going to see a lot of startups die as the big AI platforms start to offer specialist tools. The EU says TikTok is too addictive for kids But how do you solve it? The Commission has some ideas, including adding screentime breaks (so the user's app disabled for a set number of minutes?), changing its algorithms (showing less interesting content?), and disabling the "infinite scroll" (so forcing a user to go back to a menu to pick their next video?).

As special treat, you can now listen to our 2025 retrospective with Ruby Justice Thelot for free.Hey pals. Welcome to our first annual cultural predictions episode. To kick off 2026, we asked some of our favorite culture critics, media theorists, filmmakers, technologists, journalists, fashion bloggers and more to send us a voice note with their best guess about where the zeitgeist will take us this year. To our surprise and delight, 34 people got back to us with their predictions. Plus, Andrea predicts the return of club culture (think: film clubs and salons, not dance parties) in response to attention economy fatigue, and Emilie goes long on “elite midcult” in music and movies as a culture-industry counter-reaction to poptimism.Topics range from writer and podcaster Steven Phillips-Horst talking the end of bright white lighting and a return to warmer, yellower hues, to New York Mag tech columnist John Herrman talking about how prediction markets are coming for politics and political media, to New Models co-host Carly Busta talking about the rise of a neo-oral culture.

In Part 2 of our Building Better Foundations interview with Hunter Jensen, founder and CEO of Barefoot Solutions and Barefoot Labs, we explore how companies can begin adapting their business to AI over the next one to three years. Rather than imagining futuristic scenarios, Hunter keeps the focus on what's already happening—and what leaders must do now to stay ahead. About Hunter Jensen Hunter Jensen is the Founder and CEO of Barefoot Solutions, a digital agency specializing in artificial intelligence, data science, and digital transformation. With over 20 years of experience, Hunter has worked with startups and Fortune 500 companies, including Microsoft and Salesforce, to implement innovative technology strategies that drive measurable ROI. A seasoned leader and expert in the AI space, Hunter helps businesses harness cutting-edge technologies to achieve growth and efficiency. Facebook / Twitter (X) / LinkedIn / Website Where Companies Will See the First Wins When Adapting Their Business to AI Hunter starts by shortening the timeline. Five years is too far; the real transformation is happening in the next 12–36 months. Today's early value comes from AI supporting back-office functions: HR Accounting Research Administrative work These areas already show measurable ROI. But adapting your business to AI isn't just about automating repetitive tasks. "What comes next is using AI to support the thing your business actually does." – Hunter Jensen If you're in cybersecurity, AI will amplify cybersecurity tasks. If you work in finance, AI will speed up analysis and deal preparation. If you're in legal, AI will reshape workflows and client expectations. These shifts mark the second major phase of adapting your business to AI. The Coming Surplus: How AI Redefines Knowledge Work When Adapting Your Business to AI As companies begin adapting their business to AI, productivity skyrockets. Hunter predicts that many teams will get 5x more output from the same number of people. We see this creating a new challenge: a surplus of available work hours. This has already happened in software development. With AI-enhanced coding, the same team can deliver far more in far less time. Hunter warns that other knowledge-work fields—including law, consulting, and analytics—are next in line. "Layoffs are not a growth strategy. You need to innovate." – Hunter Jensen Instead of cutting staff, leaders should redirect excess capacity into new products, services, and innovation. Adapting Your Business to AI Requires Rethinking Your Model The biggest disruption comes not from tools—but from business models. Hunter shares how Barefoot Solutions, after 20 years of hourly-based software development, had to rethink its entire model when adapting its business to AI. With AI writing code faster than ever, traditional hourly billing simply couldn't reflect true value. The result? A shift toward product development, leading to the creation of Compass, an internal AI platform that helps organizations securely use their data. Many industries—especially those built on billable hours—will need to make similar changes. That means exploring: Value-based pricing Productized services Internal tools that create leverage Hybrid service + product offerings Adapting your business to AI means adapting how you make money, not just how you work. What Developers and Students Should Do Now For younger developers or recent graduates, adapting your career to AI is just as important as adapting your business to AI. Hunter recommends: Building strong AI literacy Understanding how to investigate, validate, and critique AI output Learning to integrate AI APIs into real applications Creating proof-of-concept projects that solve real business problems "The best way to learn is by building. Anything. Solve one real pain point." – Hunter Jensen Those projects become powerful résumé builders—and valuable stepping stones into the industry. Why Data Is Now the Ultimate Competitive Advantage The era of "first mover advantage" is over. AI allows competitors to replicate an idea in a weekend. But one thing cannot be cloned: your proprietary data. Hunter argues that adapting your business to AI means treating your data like a strategic asset. Companies with decades of untouched data—financial, healthcare, legal, operational—hold the new competitive moat. If you can use AI to unlock insights from that data, you create advantages no competitor can copy. Turning Disruption Into Opportunity As Hunter explains, adapting your business to AI is not optional: Productivity will surge Pricing models will shift Historic data will become a treasure chest Innovation will define survival But for entrepreneurs, leaders, and developers, this is also the most exciting moment in decades. The companies that adapt will not only survive—they'll lead. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

“Neo-orality” has been an important term in the New Models zone this year—but what exactly do we mean by it? With this two-part episode of NM Reads, we bring you two papers by the scholar Jacqueline Fendt, who is Emeritus Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at ESCP Business School in Paris, and—to the best of our knowledge—the first to define “neo-oral” in the way that we've come to use it.* She also, as a Swiss corporate executive in her 70s, happens to have a lot to say about “vibes” and what she observes to be a titanic shift in human communication from democracy to, as she puts it, “vibrocacy.” For Part 1 (this post), Lil Internet reads excerpts from: Jacqueline Fendt, “Democracy, Neo-Orality, and the Unraveling of Political Norms: What Can We Social and Political Scholars Do?” Open Journal of Political Science, Vol. 15, No. 3, (May 31, 2025) [Copyright: CC BY 4.0] For Part 2 (forthcoming), Lil Internet reads excerpts from: Jacqueline Fendt, “Beyond Wicked: Vibocratic Problems in the Post-Truth Era” International Journal of Social Science Studies, Vo. 13, No. 2, (Redfame, Jun 27, 2025) These papers have been vital to our thinking this fall. In the spirit of the neo-oral we're sharing them with you here as Lil Internet produced audio with the hope that they will be as big of an unlock for you as they have been for us. _ * Media theorist Walter J. Ong wrote about a “second orality” in 1971, and then more extensively in his 1982 book Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the World, describing it as “a more deliberate and self-conscious orality, based permanently on the use of writing and print.” Fendt cites Ong's writing but goes much further, showing how the rise of “neo-orality” is fundamentally re-ordering human society: “By Neo-orality, we mean not just a return to oral habits,” Fendt writes, “but a deeper epistemic shift. It privileges immediacy over reflection, presence over argument, and shared emotional resonance over detached verification. Unlike classic orality, which relied on embodied presence, neo-orality travels across screens, memes, and livestreams.”

New research indicates that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is expanding beyond established guidelines, with significant implications for IT leadership and security. A study from UpGuard reveals that over 80% of employees in sectors like finance and healthcare are utilizing unauthorized AI tools, often referred to as shadow AI. This trend raises security concerns, as nearly half of these employees report regular use of these unapproved tools, with one in four trusting AI more than their colleagues. The findings suggest that while AI is becoming integral to business operations, the lack of clear ownership and governance poses risks for organizations.The evolving role of IT leaders is highlighted by a report from Atera, which shows that 63% of IT leaders are experiencing changes in their responsibilities due to AI advancements. Notably, 49% of respondents emphasize the importance of guiding business value leadership, while 47% recognize the need for orchestrating human-AI collaboration. Despite these shifts, only 12% of IT leaders report that AI ownership is clearly defined within their organizations, indicating a gap in governance that could exacerbate the risks associated with shadow AI.In addition to these developments, the episode discusses the financial landscape for managed service providers (MSPs) as outlined in a report from TopDown Ventures. The report forecasts that managed AI platforms will evolve into a $1.3 trillion market by 2030, driven by the demand for efficiency and governance. Furthermore, 418 publicly traded companies have identified AI as a significant reputational risk, with concerns about misinformation and security exposure. Despite these risks, companies are increasing their AI investments, with average spending reportedly doubling in 2024.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the implications are clear. The rapid adoption of AI necessitates a structured approach to governance and security to mitigate risks associated with shadow AI. As organizations navigate the complexities of AI integration, there is an opportunity for IT service providers to offer solutions that standardize AI usage and ensure compliance. The evolving landscape underscores the need for proactive strategies to harness AI's potential while maintaining control and oversight.

This is a preview — for the full episode, subscribe: https://patreon.com/newmodels https://newmodels.substack.com Olivia Kan-Sperling joins to talk about her recent work, "Little Pink Book: A Bad Bad Novel" (Archway Editions, 2025). "It's like girl, China, sex, postmodernism, conceptual romance—a book that sells itself to you over and over and over again as you read it,” she remarks. Published in parallel English/Chinese, the novel was originally written to accompany a piece by Diane Severin Nguyen show at the Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai. It now circulates as a kind of Reena Spaulings (the novel) for the Exocapitalism era, testing the limits of what fiction now is and what content could be.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Testing and Tech on Vital MX, presented by Yamaha Motor USA. Our latest podcast/YouTube show brings our Content Director, Michael Lindsay, and our Product Editor at Large, Steven Tokarski, together to chat about different topics. This week, we discuss two of our favorite 450s in comparison to eachother, the YZ450F and KX450...we ask Stevie about his experience developing bikes at Yamaha, how OEMs develop and test new models, and some of the items that only pros get to test.
OpenAI has made significant strides in the AI landscape with a series of announcements that position it as a leading platform in the industry. The introduction of new models, including the GPT-5 Pro and Sora 2, alongside app integrations like Slack and a new Apps SDK, marks a pivotal moment for the company. These developments aim to enhance user interaction and streamline workflows, allowing users to perform tasks directly within the ChatGPT interface. The partnership with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for a multi-billion dollar chip deal further solidifies OpenAI's commitment to expanding its computing capabilities, crucial for the advancement of its AI technologies.In a contrasting scenario, Deloitte has faced scrutiny after delivering a flawed report to the Australian government, which included errors attributed to the use of AI. Despite this setback, Deloitte is moving forward with a significant partnership with Anthropic to deploy their AI chatbot, Claude, across its workforce. This juxtaposition highlights the challenges and risks associated with AI integration in business operations, emphasizing the need for careful governance and oversight. The incident serves as a cautionary tale about the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on AI without proper verification.The podcast also discusses the broader implications of AI adoption in enterprises, revealing that a majority of AI projects are failing due to governance gaps and a lack of trust in the technology. A survey by Gartner indicates that many IT leaders are concerned about regulatory compliance, with only a small percentage feeling confident in their organizations' ability to manage AI tools effectively. This situation underscores the importance of establishing robust governance frameworks to ensure that AI implementations are both effective and trustworthy.As the AI landscape continues to evolve, the podcast suggests that service providers should pivot towards building governance frameworks and risk management strategies rather than simply promoting AI hype. The focus should shift to creating value through responsible AI use, ensuring that clients can trust the technology they are implementing. This new approach positions governance as a critical service line, essential for navigating the complexities of AI adoption and maintaining client trust in an increasingly automated world.
