Prolific serial killer, Israel Keyes, is often remembered for the murder that led to his capture in Alaska. But years before his arrest, he lived on Washington's remote Olympic Peninsula, worked in Neah Bay, and, according to the FBI, may have murdered several unidentified victims whose names remain unknown. In this episode of Crime Off the Grid, we explored the lesser-known chapter of the Israel Keyes story. We follow his years on the Olympic Peninsula, including the suspected victim hidden beneath Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park, and separated verified facts from internet myths. We also look at Keyes' meticulous planning, his infamous "kill kits," and the haunting blood-drawn skulls discovered after his death.Could some of Israel Keyes' victims still be hidden in America's public lands? More than a decade later, that mystery remains unsolved.Sources:Alaska Serial Killer Attended Racist Church, Knew Terrorists Israel Keyes: Biography, Serial Killer, Murderer, CriminalIsrael Keyes - Wikipedia https://murderpedia.org/male.K/k/keyes-israel.htmIsrael Keyes: Writings — FBIWhat do skulls drawn in Israel Keyes' blood mean? - CBS NewsSupport the show!For bonus content join our Patreon!patreon.com/CrimeOfftheGridFor a one time donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cotgFor more information about the podcast, check outhttps://crimeoffthegrid.com/Check out our Merch!!  https://in-wild-places.square.site/s/shopFollow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/crimeoffthegridpodcast/ and  (1) Facebook

The volume problem in AI is solved. Now it's all about data quality, and who gets to define it. Enzo Blindow is VP of Data & AI at Prolific, a platform that connects hundreds of thousands of people worldwide to the frontier labs and enterprises training and evaluating AI models. In this conversation with Liam, Enzo breaks down what actually goes into building high-quality training data, why models lean too hard into stereotypes, and the research Prolific published showing how easily AI can be nudged toward commercially motivated, and sometimes harmful, suggestions. They discuss why synthetic data hits a ceiling that only human data can break through, how a single mistranslated instruction can quietly corrupt an entire dataset, and why "good taste" might be one of the hardest things for AI to ever replicate. Key Topics Covered: Why data volume is a solved problem and quality is everything now How RLHF actually shaped early versions of ChatGPT Why AI models lean too heavily into stereotypes The asymmetry and hidden bias baked into internet-sourced training data Prolific's ICLR research on commercial pressure in AI models Who's responsible when AI models cause harm: labs vs. data providers Synthetic data's ceiling, and why humans still have to validate it What actually defines "taste" and why it's nearly impossible to model The risk of AI flattening nuance and marginalized perspectives Why human data is one of the most defensible moats in AI Enzo's own definition of what "data" really means Episode Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:21 What Prolific actually does 02:48 MCP vs. API vs. CLI access 04:19 How frontier labs started working with Prolific 06:40 Data volume vs. quality, and the role of RLHF 10:58 Who Prolific's biggest customers are 13:12 Why labs choose Prolific over other data vendors 16:13 Fact vs. opinion in AI training 19:02 Stereotypes and bias in AI models 21:15 Prolific's ICLR research on commercial pressure 23:36 Who's responsible: labs, governments, or data companies 27:22 How Prolific's data collection actually works 31:59 Synthetic data vs. human data 36:04 What defines "taste" in AI-generated content 39:33 Good taste vs. bad taste, and the risk of AI regression to the mean 42:36 Why Enzo joined Prolific 45:56 Blind spots most people have about training data 47:22 The "SaaSpocalypse" and data as a business moat 51:38 How Enzo visualizes "data" in his own mind 54:22 Why Enzo does what he does 57:16 Where to find Enzo and Prolific Connect with Enzo on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/enzoblindow/ Partner Links Upgrade your AI toolkit: https://www.theaireport.ai/ai-executive-pass Subscribe to our free newsletter: https://newsletter.theaireport.ai/subscribe Join the community: https://community.theaireport.ai/checkout/the-ai-report-welcome-gift?coupon_code=WRTH Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Gillie & Wallo sit down for one of the most powerful conversations in the show's history with Blacc Sam, Bino Rideaux, and BH to discuss "PROLIFIC" the long-awaited posthumous collaboration album from Nipsey Hussle and Bino Rideaux, arriving August 14. PROLIFIC is a 15-track project that Nipsey Hussle and Bino Rideaux recorded together in 2017 following the success of Nipsey's Grammy-nominated classic, Victory Lap. Years later, those closest to Nipsey believe the time is finally right for the world to hear this timeless body of work. Bino Rideaux shares never-before-heard stories about creating the album in the very same studio where this interview was filmed, reflecting on the creative energy, Nipsey's vision, and why the music still sounds as fresh today as it did when it was recorded. Blacc Sam opens up about preserving Nipsey Hussle's legacy, carrying on after losing a loved one, and shares heartfelt stories about Nipsey's character long before the world knew his name. Gillie, Wallo, and the team also reflect on what it truly means to keep someone's vision alive. This episode is a celebration of legacy for one of hip-hop's greatest voices. Rest in Peace to the late, great Nipsey Hussle. The Marathon Continues.

In a world of copy-paste pop hooks and AI-generated playlists, most independent musicians don't struggle with ideas, they struggle with being heard and standing out. Today's guest, Igor Keller, the songwriter and mastermind behind the band Longboat, has released 35+ albums and written 96 songs in a single year, all while refusing to write love songs or chase trends. Instead, he turns themes like revenge, technology, wealth inequality, and modern absurdity into highly narrative “revenge ballads” that sound like nothing else in your feed. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Igor dive deep into Revenge Ballads, his Eastern European‑flavored concept album built around mythological betrayals, World War II stories, Slavic legends, and real-life payback. Igor breaks down how he structures albums around a single powerful idea, like the life of a musician, the dark side of technology, or revenge, and then crafts songs such as “Medea” and “The Last Voyage of the Gray Gull” to tell fully realized stories instead of generic “vibe” tracks. You'll hear how he keeps 15 songs moving through the same stages at once, so he can release more music without compromising on depth or quality. Rather than waiting for inspiration, Igor treats songwriting as a disciplined, repeatable process. He shares his 70% rule for quality control, why he genuinely likes every song that makes it onto an album, and how he balances volume with standards so nothing feels like filler. If you've ever wondered how a truly prolific artist thinks about arrangements, lyrics, and themes, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how Igor turns complex ideas, like concentration camps, self-driving cars, and billionaire culture, into songs that are actually coherent, meaningful, and emotionally resonant. Igor also takes a strong stand on AI music and what it means for real artists. While he's not afraid to use tools for basic tasks like spell-checking, he draws a hard line at letting AI “create” his work. To him, art is communication, and an AI band can't sit in the room with an audience, tell a true story, or convey lived emotion. In response, he's doubling down on human performance, converting his catalog into solo piano and voice arrangements, practicing for hours a day, and creating new music with a vibe reminiscent of Erik Satie. https://youtu.be/Cy-elDY-0EE?si=dorrD9xrgxyr10R- If you're a musician, creator, or storyteller who feels suffocated by formulaic content and algorithm-driven sameness, this conversation will show you another way: build a body of work around bold themes, set your own quality bar, and remember that art's real job is to communicate something that matters. Igor's motto, “Ultio et Pax” vengeance and peace, perfectly sums up his approach: intense, thoughtful, and unapologetically human. Quotes: “Art, music, visual art, film; is essentially communication, and you have to try to communicate something to your audience.” “Once you start singing them, you feel like you own them, they feel like they belong to you, and you're setting them free in the world.” “I have things to say, and it's important for me to say them to people; this is the best way I can think of at the moment to relate to an audience.” Contact Details: Visit Igor Keller's Facebook Page Listen, Watch, and Join the Longboat Journey Join the Longboat Crew on Instagram Follow The Great Longboat Podcast on Spotify Subscribe to Longboat on YouTube Tune In to The Great Longboat Podcast

Ron Kopas, President and CEO, and Dan Boudreau, Vice President of Exploration, of Delta Resources Limited (TSXV: DLTA) (OTC Pink: DTARF) (FSE: 6GO1), both join me for a comprehensive introduction to this gold exploration company commencing its largest exploration program to date at their Delta-1 Gold Project, along the prolific Thunder Bay District, Ontario.   The 2026 exploration program is strategically designed to unlock the significant discovery potential across the Company's extensive 340 km² land package while continuing to expand and advance the Eureka Gold Deposit, where additional drilling is planned later this summer. Delta will advance multiple high-priority targets, with initial field activities focused on the highly prospective I-Zone / Crayfish Creek Fault sector, located approximately 18 kilometres southwest of Eureka.   The area is supported by several encouraging historical and recent gold results, including drill intercepts of 3.28 g/t Au over 14.6 m reported by Inco Gold (1988-1989) and 4.32 g/t Au over 41 m, 4.53 g/t Au over 14.4 m, and 4.36 g/t Au over 20.4 m reported by Ovalbay (1995). Additionally, a 1,000 kg mini-bulk sample grading 9.9 g/t Au was completed by Mengold in 2008. Recent channel sampling by Delta Resources (2024) returned 1.23 g/t Au over 40.6 m, including 2.12 g/t Au over 12 m and 3.39 g/t Au over 5 m, and 2.40 g/t Au over 16.2 m, including 5.54 g/t Au over 5 m.   Recent prospecting and till sampling, combined with the integration of historical geological, geophysical, and geochemical datasets, have identified multiple new high-priority targets, further reinforcing the area's potential to host additional gold discoveries   If you have any questions for Ron or Dan regarding Delta Resources, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Delta Resources   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Beth Barnes and David Rein on the one graph that ate the AI timelines discourse, and why the two people who built it are the most careful about how you read it.**SPONSOR**Prolific - Quality data. From real people. For faster breakthroughs.https://www.prolific.com/?utm_source=mlstInterview: https://youtu.be/cnxZZTl1tkk---Beth Barnes and David Rein from METR on the one graph that ate the AI timelines discourse, and why the people who built it are the most careful about how it gets read.Beth founded METR after leaving OpenAI alignment. David is first author on GPQA and co-author on HCAST and the METR Time Horizons paper. Together they built the measurement Daniel Kokotajlo called the single most important piece of evidence on AI timelines: the log-linear line of "how long a task a frontier model can complete at 50% reliability" vs release date.The conversation opens on reward hacking. Current models can articulate in chat why a behaviour is undesired and then execute it anyway as agents. From there: construct validity, Melanie Mitchell's four-problem taxonomy, and the ARC-AGI 1-to-2 collapse as a worked example of adversarially-selected benchmarks regressing once labs target them. Beth's counter: METR deliberately does not adversarially select. David's: models do not have to do the right thing for the right reasons.Methodology, then specification — David's compiler analogy, Beth on four-month tasks as expensive to evaluate rather than unspecifiable. Then the SWE-bench reality check, the METR finding that half of passing PRs would not be merged, and Beth's horses-versus-bank-tellers analogy for the labour market.The close: monitorability, the coin-spinning boat, two-year recursive self-improvement, and Beth's line that "overhyped now" and "big deal later" are not correlated claims.---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Intro00:02:06 Sponsor break: Prolific human-feedback infrastructure00:02:33 Welcome and the scalable oversight motivation00:06:02 Construct validity, benchmark pathologies and the Chollet worry00:15:45 Time Horizons: human time, HCAST tasks and the 50% logistic00:24:50 Is human difficulty really one variable?00:33:05 Agent harness evolution and the inference-compute dividend00:40:00 Scaffolding bells, token budgets and the credit-assignment problem00:44:15 Look at the damn graph: regularisation bug and reliability nuance00:50:00 Why 50%?

Garrett Morgan was a prolific inventor. He invented the gas mask. The three-way traffic light. The self-extinguishing cigarette. He even created a hair care line. But, as a Black man, he had to be creative in how he presented his inventions to the public. He knew that some people would refuse to buy his invention if they discovered that it had been invented by a Black man. So? Sometimes he hired white actors to play the role of Garrett Morgan. Sometimes he posed as his own assistant. In short, he did what he had to do to get people to take his inventions seriously.Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Justice Ming Chin wrote more majority opinions in his first decade on the California Supreme Court than any colleague—then retired to discover that mediation feels a lot like his first judicial assignment in family law, where the goal was bringing people together rather than telling them what to do.Justice Ming's biggest pet peeve as a mediator: attorneys who won't share their briefs.Justice Ming also shares:What makes a good petition for review? Hint: think about Justice Broussard saying "if I get one more piece of paper, I'm going to scream."Why robust internal debate produces better opinions than rubber-stamping.How his experience trying construction arbitrations with expert panels—not lawyers—informs his view that California Supreme Court justices sometimes get arbitration law wrong.Other highlights:The petition reality check—your first paragraph is your only shot: Kitchen-sink petitions go nowhere.Why your petition for review was denied: Lacking in merit? Maybe. But sometimes the Court wants the conflict to "percolate." Or it needs a better vehicle.And don't overlook that a low-quality petition foreshadows the quality of your merits brief—which could depress chances of review.Federal certification beats petition denial odds: While the Court denies hundreds of petitions for review weekly, Justice Chin "cannot think of any" certified questions from federal courts that were denied during his tenure—making certification an underused path to California Supreme Court review that practitioners should consider more often.Justice Chin's senior partner returned his first brief "with blood all over it" and taught him to "take out all the excess words"—a lesson he carried through 450+ Supreme Court opinions.Unlike other branches of government, appellate courts must explain their reasoning in detail, but that doesn't mean 150-page opinions.Listen to the episode to learn what former Supreme Court justices see that no one else can, why depublication tapered down as a lawmaking tool during his tenure, and how Sargon's expert gatekeeping role—authored by Justice Chin—threaded the needle between passive acceptance and becoming "a thirteenth juror."What question would you ask Justice Chin or one of his colleagues?

9. Guest: Eric Cline. Archaeologist Cline discusses the Amarna letters, focusing on the prolific correspondence of Rib-Hadda of Byblos. He characterizes these ancient conflicts as proxy wars between the Hittites and Egyptians. Cline notes that the regional dynamics of 3,400 years ago strikingly mirror contemporary Middle Eastern geopolitical struggles. 1922 HOLLYWOOD BLVD AND CAHUENGA

"Hee hee. Ow!" Those are the noises you make when a laser from an alien spacecraft shoots you in 1967 Manitoba. Or when a diamond-shaped craft in rural Texas bathes you in radiation on a cold December night in 1980. Or when you're just trying to sleep on a Brazilian island and something called "Chupa Chupa" decides to use you as a snack. Those incidents -and hundreds like them = add up to something even stranger than the aliens, cryptids, or apparitions themselves. A pattern. A map. A theory that explains all of it. You're going to find out what that is in this episode. By the time you finish listening to this episode, perhaps by the time you've finished reading this sentence, this week's guest will have finished writing yet another fact-supported, heavily detailed, richly sourced book about ancient archaeology. Or alien sightings. Or religious apparitions. Or cryptids. Or climate shifts across the millennia. Yes, any of those topics. And yes, a full book. If Substack tried to contain the output of George Mitrovic, returning champion, it would crash like a saucer in '47. (Seriously, the Greys don't use Waymo?!) He's the HARDEST WORKING MAN IN FRINGE RESEARCH. Prolific, wise, witty, honest, and the unquestionable KING OF P.O.P. (Paranormal Observable Phenomena, i.e., a bunch of people have seen it and it's left physical traces. Saucers with souvenirs, Bigfoot leaving skidmarks, you get the picture). With over 150 books, one of the highest measured IQs on his side of the world, and a lifetime of research, scholarship, data mapping, pattern recognition, and scientific analysis, George brings something unique to the world of paranormal research: a grand unifying framework for where and why paranormal events happen. Fully mapped, explained, and unlimited in its potential. In this episode, Greg sits down with George to get to the bottom of why this may be the most important scholarship on the unexplained that nobody is talking about. If you've ever wanted to traverse the multiverse, George's Sine Wave Theory is your ticket to other dimensions. You ARE the cryptid. We all are. George's Links:
