What happens when states stop waiting for Congress and begin building their own AI rulebooks? In this episode, we unpack major AI regulatory developments emerging from Colorado, Connecticut, and California, where lawmakers and regulators are advancing dramatically different approaches to AI governance—from Colorado's pause on enforcing its landmark AI Act while lawmakers debate a broader overhaul, to Connecticut's sweeping omnibus bill addressing employment algorithms, companion chatbots, synthetic content labeling, and safe harbor programs, to California's expanding focus on chatbot disclosures, child safety, and high-risk automated decision-making. As states continue racing to shape the future of AI oversight, one theme is becoming increasingly clear: companies deploying AI systems should expect growing obligations around transparency, documentation, human oversight, and consumer protections long before a unified federal framework arrives. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Laura Riposo VanDruff, Alexander I. Schneider, and Joseph Cahill.
Zak Mir talks to Paul Emmitt, CEO Powerhouse Energy (AIM: PHE), as the company pioneering integrated technology that converts non-recyclable waste into low carbon energy, announced an operational update in the wake of the recent oversubscribed retail offer of £400,000 and £260,000 battery developer contract.Powerhouse Energy looks to be moving into a more commercial phase, and the most interesting part of that shift is not just about technology. It is about timing, market need and where demand is now coming from.For a long time, the story around the company was heavily tied to hydrogen and the broader net zero narrative. That is still part of the picture, especially in certain projects. But the market has evolved. The stronger angle now is decarbonisation paired with energy security, and that combination is opening doors that were not as wide open even six or twelve months ago.That is the backdrop to the latest operational progress, which follows an oversubscribed retail offer and a third-party battery developer contract worth £260,000. The bigger message is that Powerhouse is trying to prove that it is more than an early-stage technology story. It wants to show it has real engineering capability, growing commercial traction and a product that fits a changing global energy market.A step closer to commercialityOne of the clearest signs of progress is the introduction of third-party work into the business. This matters because it is not simply work flowing through a historic channel or linked to an internal arrangement. It is direct business for Powerhouse itself.That may sound like a small distinction, but strategically it is important. It demonstrates that the expertise inside the company has value beyond the core waste-to-energy technology alone. In effect, the business is beginning to validate its broader engineering and technical competence in the market.That matters for two reasons: It helps bring the company forward faster by generating commercial activity now. It reinforces the core competency that will ultimately help sell the technology at scale. The company is also pushing this momentum through newer marketing activity and sales agreements in multiple regions. The effort is no longer limited to one or two flagship opportunities. It is becoming a wider commercial campaign.Why the market is changing in Powerhouse Energy's favourThe most striking theme is the shift in customer motivation.Historically, many conversations in clean technology revolved around net zero targets, emissions reduction and environmental policy. Those issues still matter, but they are now being joined, and in some cases overtaken, by a more immediate concern: security of supply.Across the world, energy markets have become more volatile. Geopolitical disruption in the Middle East, the continuing effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and broader fossil fuel price instability have made businesses and governments think much harder about resilience.That is where Powerhouse sees its opportunity.If a region or business produces waste and depends on imported fossil fuels, especially diesel, then converting that waste into low carbon energy becomes about more than sustainability. It becomes a practical route to greater independence and better control over energy costs.That is a far more urgent conversation.The appeal of using local waste for local energyThe company's proposition is straightforward in principle: many regions already have a waste stream many of those same regions are exposed to expensive or insecure fuel imports turning local non-recyclable waste into energy can reduce that dependence That message appears to be resonating particularly strongly in island markets and remote locations.Places that rely heavily on diesel generation have been hit hard by rising fuel costs. Yet they also generate waste that needs dealing with. For those markets, a waste-to-energy solution addresses two problems at once: waste management energy security This is one reason why recent commercial agreements matter. The company has signed sales arrangements with Green Gecko, with HUI for Central Europe, and another covering the Caribbean islands. These are not random geographies. They line up with exactly the kind of market conditions the company believes now favour its technology.Hydrogen still matters, but it is no longer the whole storyPowerhouse was originally built around a strong hydrogen focus, and that remains relevant in specific projects. The best example is Ballymena, which is expected to be the company's flagship hydrogen development.The Ballymena project is progressing through planning, and while the pace is not as fast as management would like, the direction appears positive.There are a few notable points here: the planning process is advancing through the council system community feedback has not presented major issues the main comments received appear to relate to matters that could likely have been addressed before submission rather than fundamental opposition the next key step is receiving the Environment Agency response to the planning application Once that is in place, the company intends to apply for a permit.That permitting stage may not be quick. The project could require the first permit of its kind in Northern Ireland, which means there may be some education needed along the way. That is often the reality for businesses pioneering a newer category of infrastructure. It is not necessarily a red flag, but it does add friction and time.Still, Ballymena remains important because it would give the market a visible hydrogen-led reference project. In a company like this, proving the first flagship matters enormously.Australia could be the real game changerIf Ballymena is the hydrogen flagship, Australia may be the bigger commercial catalyst.Progress there appears encouraging. The company has applied for government funding to support part of the early-stage project work, and it has brought National Waste to Energy into discussions with Green Gecko. The confidence expressed around early funding suggests management sees a realistic path to moving the project forward.The key phrase here is FID, or final investment decision.If an Australian project reaches FID, that would be a major milestone. It would represent a meaningful step from concept and development into a much more tangible commercial phase. That is why management is putting real emphasis on it.For early-stage energy and clean technology businesses, getting a project to FID can change the market's perception of risk. It suggests that technical, financial and practical hurdles are being cleared. In that context, the Australian opportunity stands out as one of the most significant pieces of the current pipeline.

This has forced English teams to ration balls, receiving only 50% of their usual quota. Zakis warns that this crisis could eventually impact the Australian season, highlighting modern manufacturing vulnerabilities,. (3)

Does anyone read these? Right, we've been having too much of a good time these past few episodes and lots of good rambles have fallen away into wails of (useless) mirth. Time for us to actually have a chat and remember that this is a job and we can stop pretending to like each other for five minutes and actually get some of this climbing stuff straightened out. Sam makes up some words and uses them with conviction and Aidan honestly seemed surprised we were recording.

Iraq Elections and Yemen's Houthi Crackdown Guest: Bridget Toomey Bridget Toomey discussed recent developments in Iraq and Yemen, noting that Iraqi parliamentary elections saw a higher-than-expected 56% voter turnout, with preliminary results suggesting Shiite parties close to Tehran performed well and might secure enough seats to form the next government, despite internal infighting and votes remaining largely sectarian, while Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received credit for stability and his party performed strongly, though many Iraqis doubt the elections affect real change, believing critical decisions are made via elite backroom deals, and turning to Yemen, the Houthis announced the arrest of a purported Saudi-American-Israeli spy ring, a paranoid crackdown following Israel's successful targeting of Houthi government and military leaders in August, with arrests including 59 UN workers and prosecutors requesting the death sentence for 21, aiming to intimidate domestic dissent and signal resolve to Western and regional adversaries, especially in sensitive Houthi locations in Sana'a. 1939

It's a Paul Revere moment, “RFK Junior is coming!” Ben is joined by author and journalist Emily Bass and UCSF Professor Eric Goosby, co-host of the Global Health Diplomats podcast to diagnose and propose solutions to the Trump Administration's assault on US public health. From the hollowing out of the CDC, to vaccine skepticism at the heart of the federal leadership, and savage, unconstitutional cuts to public health home and abroad, they delve into the broader ramifications of these attacks on scientific integrity, US democracy and security. They round upon what could be profoundly damaging political consequences, particularly for Republicans, if the health of their voters' children and elderly relatives is put directly at risk by this willful dismantling of US public health services. And in conclusion, Ben, Eric and Emily explore how to support the emerging regional health coalitions of states, cities and professional bodies to fill the gap. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:50 Recent Developments in Global Health 02:08 Legal Challenges and Public Health Implications 03:18 Impact on Democracy and Public Health 12:04 Interview with Eric Goosby 14:27 Concerns About CDC and Public Health Surveillance 19:36 Future of Public Health and Science 34:46 Potential Solutions and Local Efforts 39:09 Coalitions and Surveillance Systems 44:23 Challenges in Public Health Funding 48:24 The Role of Philanthropy in Public Health 50:37 Political Ramifications and Public Health 56:22 Vaccine Misinformation and Public Trust 58:27 Accountability in Public Health Leadership 01:04:33 COVID Variants and Vaccination Strategies 01:10:27 Final Thoughts and Reflections Emily's Substack: https://substack.com/@emilysbass Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

This update is a statement from Ryan in relation to today's news story in New Zealand covering the discovery of human remains, that could possibly be those of Heidi Paakkonen."It is very important to be clear that I'm not saying they are hers, but only that they could be. And the only way to know for sure is to find them. I'm calling for a second, more detailed search.There is a lot more to this story than just a person finding a skeleton. Obviously there is more evidence at play, when I can I will share this, but for now going public with what I have today was the best way to move the case forward.Thanks for all your patience and understanding with this." - Ryan Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/guilt.

Recent legal proceedings have implicated Sean "Diddy" Combs and Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter in a lawsuit alleging the rape of a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards afterparty. The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, claims that after being given a spiked drink, she was assaulted by both men while an unnamed female celebrity observed.The lawsuit details that the plaintiff was invited to the afterparty by a limousine driver who suggested she was "what Diddy was looking for." Upon arrival, she was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement and was given a drink that caused her to feel disoriented. Seeking to rest, she entered a bedroom where the alleged assault occurred.Both Combs and Carter have vehemently denied the allegations. Carter's legal team has filed a motion to dismiss the claims, describing them as part of a "sprawling extortion" attempt and requesting that the accuser's identity be revealed publicly.Combs, who is currently facing multiple legal challenges, including charges of sex trafficking, has also denied any wrongdoing.The identity of the female celebrity alleged to have witnessed the assault has not been disclosed in the lawsuit. This case adds to the growing list of legal issues surrounding Combs, who is confronting numerous accusations of sexual misconduct spanning several decades.Recent Developments in Legal Cases Involving Diddy and Jay-Z(commercial at 8:34)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jay-Z, Diddy accusations create mystery surrounding female 'Celebrity B' | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Public lands are one of the few unifiers for a huge number of Americans — but they're currently under attack.On this episode, Luke Koppa talks with Blister reviewer and conservation advocate, Paul Forward, about these developments and why anyone who enjoys the outdoors should be concerned about some recent legislation. We cover several worrying provisions in the U.S. Budget Reconciliation bill; how the outdoor community helped get some of the worst additions removed from the current version; and why there's still a need for all of us to take action to ensure that our public lands are responsibly managed and utilized in the future.RELATED LINKS:Contact Your SenatorsGet Yourself Covered: BLISTER+Details on the Budget BillSenate Energy & Natural Resources Committee: MembersMore Info on Ambler RoadAnalysis from Outdoor AlliancePublic Land Use Polling DataTOPICS & TIMES:New BLISTER+ Members (2:07)Recent Developments re: Public Lands (4:33)Ambler Road Development (13:18)What's Still In This Bill & the Boundary Waters Mine (18:06)Mandatory Oil, Gas, & Coal Leasing + Lower Royalty Fees (20:30)Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (22:51)Pay-To-Play Environmental Review Changes (28:04)Calling Your Representatives (37:37)Public Lands Are A Bipartisan Issue (41:25)CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTED Bikes & Big IdeasGEAR:30 Hosted on Acast.

In an otherwise heavy week packed with Microsoft Build, Google I/O, and OpenAI io, the worst kept secret in biglab land was the launch of Claude 4, particularly the triumphant return of Opus, which many had been clamoring for. We will leave the specific Claude 4 recap to AINews, however we think that both Gemini's progress on Deep Think this week and Claude 4 represent the next frontier of progress on inference time compute/reasoning (at last until GPT5 ships this summer).Will Brown's talk at AIE NYC and open source work on verifiers have made him one of the most prominent voices able to publicly discuss (aka without the vaguepoasting LoRA they put on you when you join a biglab) the current state of the art in reasoning models and where current SOTA research directions lead. We discussed his latest paper on Reinforcing Multi-Turn Reasoning in LLM Agents via Turn-Level Credit Assignment and he has previewed his AIEWF talk on Agentic RL for those with the temerity to power thru bad meetup audio.Full Video EpisodeTimestamps00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guests01:00 Discussion on Claude 4 and AI Models03:07 Extended Thinking and Tool Use in AI06:47 Technical Highlights and Model Trustworthiness10:31 Thinking Budgets and Their Implications13:38 Controversy Surrounding Opus and AI Ethics18:49 Reflections on AI Tools and Their Limitations21:58 The Chaos of Predictive Systems22:56 Marketing and Safety in AI Models24:30 Evaluating AI Companies and Their Strategies25:53 The Role of Academia in AI Evaluations27:43 Teaching Taste in Research28:41 Making Educated Bets in AI Research30:12 Recent Developments in Multi-Turn Tool Use32:50 Incentivizing Tool Use in AI Models34:45 The Future of Reward Models in AI39:10 Exploring Flexible Reward Systems Get full access to Latent.Space at www.latent.space/subscribe
Kamran Bokhari answers the bat signal to join Jacob Shapiro for a wide-ranging conversation on the spike in India-Pakistan tensions following the Kashmir attack - and why it's not just business as usual. They unpack the strategic logic (or lack thereof) behind Pakistan's moves, India's dilemma over deterrence, and the escalating risk of regional miscalculation. They also dig into the broader Middle East: Iran's negotiations, Houthi missiles, and whether the U.S. is quietly brokering a regional reset. Kamran sees threads tying it all together; We're still trying to figure out if that's optimism or a warning. Either way, something's shifting... and fast.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction and Guest Introduction(00:56) - Current Geopolitical Tensions(01:56) - India-Pakistan Relations and Kashmir Conflict(02:43) - US-India Strategic Partnership(04:47) - Recent Attacks and Speculations(07:51) - Historical Context and Recent Developments(11:36) - Potential Escalations and Strategic Moves(21:52) - Indus Waters Treaty and Diplomatic Channels(26:15) - Regional Dynamics and Future Outlook(27:11) - China's Strategic Interests in South Asia(28:21) - India's Two-Front Dilemma(29:43) - China's Potential Responses(31:30) - Middle East Geopolitical Threads(33:23) - Iran Nuclear Deal and Regional Implications(40:49) - US Strategy in the Middle East(45:49) - Syria's Role in Regional Stability(50:18) - Concluding Thoughts and Optimism--Referenced in the Show:--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapCI Site: cognitive.investmentsSubscribe to the Newsletter: bit.ly/weekly-sitrep--The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.
