A first readout of the AI ROI Benchmarking Study shows that real business value from AI is no longer theoretical: 82 percent of organizations report positive ROI today, 37 percent report significant or transformational impact, and nearly all expect gains to accelerate over the next year. Drawing on more than 1,200 respondents and 5,000 use cases, this episode breaks down where ROI is actually coming from, why smaller organizations are often seeing outsized gains, how time savings compare to strategic benefits like new capabilities and decision quality, and what the data says about agents versus assisted AI at this stage of adoption.

Alan Tonelson evaluates China's economic strengths, acknowledging their dominance in rare earth processing and solar panels, often achieved through subsidies. He argues that China's heavy investment in industrial robots attempts to offset a looming demographic crash, while questioning the true market demand for their subsidized electric vehicles. 1963

OpenAI has released GPT Image 1.5 inside ChatGPT, and early reactions suggest the gap with Nano Banana Pro has meaningfully narrowed. This episode walks through first impressions from head-to-head tests, benchmark reactions, and creator feedback, then digs into four specific areas where GPT Image 1.5 may be the better choice right now, from hyper-precise instruction following and complex multi-constraint prompts to alternative infographic aesthetics and a consumer-first interface designed for discovery and play. The takeaway is not that one model clearly wins, but that creators suddenly have real choice at the high end of image generation, which is a big shift from just a few weeks ago.

Videos of humanoid robots dancing, doing cartwheels, putting clothes in a washing machine, and serving drinks are all over social media. And tech CEOs are telling us to prepare for the forthcoming humanoid army that's going to totally change our lives for the better.But what's real? Where are we with this technology? Are these humanoids robots ready to take washing the dishes off our plates, or work beside us in warehouses?Tech journalist James Vincent became an expert on the subject when he toured humanoid robot factories and rubbed shoulders with robots themselves for a feature story he wrote for Harper's Magazine. He joins Host Flora Lichtman with perspective on the hype.Guest: James Vincent is a journalist who's written for The Verge and The Guardian, and author of the book Beyond Measure: The Hidden History of Measurement.

Hey Heal Squad! Have you noticed more robots showing up in your doctor's office lately? You're not imagining it! Dr. Jason Snibbe, one of the country's top orthopedic surgeons (and the man behind countless celebrity joint replacements, including yes, Kris Jenner's hip surgery) is here to tell us why robots may be one of the most advanced healing tools we'll ever have. But do they actually work… and should you trust them? He'll tell us if we should and the everyday exercises that are secretly aging your joints (you're probably doing this one daily!), and the one exercise that becomes non-negotiable if you want longevity. And if you're hoping to avoid the operating room altogether? He shares the prevention strategies and regenerative therapies that might save you from ever needing a replacement. Consider this your crash course in becoming the CEO of your joint health, with a few “wait… WHAT?!” moments you'll be thinking about long after the episode ends. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: AI + Robotics Are Redefining Joint Surgery: Robotics now allow surgeons to place implants with near-perfect precision, reducing complications and improving recovery. AI can quickly create custom plans to determine the best implant for you. Prevention Starts With Muscle, Not Mileage: The biggest protectors of your joints are your muscles. High-impact running, deep hip/knee bending, and weak muscle mass accelerate damage, while resistance training becomes a must for protecting your hips, knees, and spine as you age.

https://teachhoops.com/ In an era of constant feedback, specialized trainers, and relentless sideline instruction, we have to ask a difficult question: Is more actually better? In this episode, we tackle the epidemic of "over-coaching" and the tendency for coaches to "joystick" their players from the sideline. We discuss the difference between teaching foundational concepts and micromanaging every dribble, pass, and cut, exploring how excessive instruction can lead to "paralysis by analysis" where athletes are too afraid of making a mistake to actually compete. We dive deep into the long-term effects of removing decision-making from the players. When a coach solves every problem during practice or calls out every read during a game, players never develop the crucial basketball IQ needed to adjust on the fly. We examine the benefits of the "constraints-led approach" and the importance of messy, chaotic practices where the game itself becomes the teacher. We challenge the traditional model of blocked drills in favor of small-sided games that force players to think for themselves. Finally, we offer practical strategies for "coaching less" to get more out of your team. This includes the uncomfortable art of staying silent during a scrimmage, asking questions like "What did you see?" instead of immediately providing the answer, and empowering your point guards to take ownership of the offense. It is about shifting your mindset from being the puppet master to being a facilitator who builds autonomous, high-IQ players capable of winning when they can't hear your voice over the crowd.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
Deloitte's latest Tech Trends report makes one thing clear: real AI value doesn't come from dropping chatbots or agents onto old workflows, but from redesigning how organizations actually work. This episode breaks down why agentic AI forces process redesign, infrastructure modernization, and new management models, why legacy systems, data readiness, and governance remain the biggest blockers, and what separates companies getting real value from those stuck in pilots. The core lesson from 2025 is simple but hard: AI advantage comes from rebuilding operations for an AI-native world, not layering tools on top of the past.

If you want 2025 in a nutshell, it doesn't get much better than a blundering Secretary of Defense bragging that the Pentagon bought an expensive, bespoke AI bot and it immediately started calling out the Trump administration for committing war crimes. As the legal industry ventures into a hallucinatory AI frontier, it's worth remembering that sometimes the bots outperform the human lawyers. At the Supreme Court, Justice Sotomayor tries to convince her colleagues not to blow up the federal government over a theory concocted in the 1970s. Sadly, she's fighting the wrong fight. And in a world of mergers -- especially cross-border mergers -- we have a reminder that sometimes it doesn't work out.

Robots, magicians, demons: Children's and young adult book author Hubert Wiest likes to use surreal characters for his works, like in his science fiction youth novel “The Shadow Surfers.” The former advertising salesman told us why his stories still take place in possible scenarios and how his family life influences the development process of his books. - Ob Roboter, Zauberer oder Dämonen, der Kinder- und Jugendbuchautor Hubert Wiest verwendet für seine Werke gern übernatürliche Charaktere und Motive, wie auch in seinem Science-Fiction-Jugendroman „Die Schattensurfer“. Uns hat der gelernte Werbekaufmann verraten, warum sich seine surrealen Geschichten in denkbaren Szenarien abspielen und wie auch sein Familienleben einen Einfluss auf den Entwicklungsprozess seiner Bücher hat.

Cathy reached out to me back in the summer to inquire about sharing a perspective that wasn't entirely "Anti-MLM". She had had an extensive and successful experience in the MLM industry, and had helped many people transition into entrepreneurship, while highlighting the lessons learned and the importance of recognizing red flags. In our chat we discuss the evolution of MLM from the pre-social media era to the current landscape, and the shocking realities faced by many in the industry. Along the way, Cathy has a couple of realizations that make me excited for where her Anti-MLM journey is headed.Show NotesConnect with Cathy : YouTube | Instagram | FacebookThe Influence ContinuumOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

In this episode, we discuss the growing role of humanoid robots in everyday life, why new technologies always reach the wealthy first, and how falling costs eventually make innovation accessible to the middle class. We turn to global efforts to restrict social media access for children, examining the real harms platforms create, why enforcement rarely works, and how questions of consent and freedom apply differently to minors. We highlight the week's “foolishness,” including exaggerated tariff claims and the political incentives behind economic misinformation, before looking at how public discourse has deteriorated as cruelty and performative outrage become normalized. We then examine California's accelerating business exodus, focusing on energy companies leaving the state, the consequences of heavy regulation and taxation, the limits of government control over capital-intensive industries, and what these trends reveal about tradeoffs, governance, and long-term economic sustainability. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:37 Humanoid Robots as Household Tools, Not Job Killers 02:31 Robots as Productivity Multipliers for the Middle Class 04:14 Why Wealthy People Will Always Get New Tech First 05:57 Technology Gets Cheaper, Better, and More Accessible Over Time 08:46 The Inevitable Cultural Direction of Robot Technology 09:17 Social Media Bans for Minors Go Global 11:13 The Real Harm Social Media Does to Children 14:25 Foolishness of the Week: Trump's $18 Trillion Tariff Claim 17:15 Why the Tariff Math Doesn't Pass the Smell Test 18:23 Political Incentives, Lies, and Follower Frenzy 21:09 Trump's Rob Reiner Statement and the Collapse of Decorum 23:45 When Leaders Normalize Public Cruelty 26:09 Why Businesses Are Fleeing California 28:53 Taxes, Regulations, and the Real Price of Gas 33:14 Environmental Tradeoffs and Global CO2 Reality 38:50 California's Plan to Nationalize Oil Refineries 40:53 Why Government Cannot Run Capital-Intensive Businesses 44:44 Diminishing Returns and Regulatory Overreach 47:23 Pareto Optimality and Why Tradeoffs Matter 55:06 The Economic Death Spiral of Business Exodus 57:32 Is California Too Big to Govern Effectively? 01:02:07 Closing Reflections and Final Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, The Nice Guys) Jim Herzfeld (Meet The Parents/Fockers), Fred Dekker (Preditor), & David Silverman (The Simpsons) reminisce about their college hangout that became the social group that supported their life and art for the rest of their lives. They describe a house full of UCLA film nerds with a 24 hour open house policy. It was young guys finding themselves and their drive and their fun by making a scene in the early 1980's. Movie watching, game playing, movie making, and joking around led to a group of people that has made some of the biggest films of the last 30 years. Bio: JIM HERZFELD is an American film and television screenwriter who has also done work as a television producer. Herzfeld graduated from UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT) and his earliest TV credit – on the ground breaking “It's Garry Shandling's Show” -- was followed by almost 10 years of writing and producing episodes on dozens of sitcom staffs, including the Fox TV classic "Married... With Children." Herzfeld's earliest feature film work was a writing credit on the cult comedy “Tapeheads“ in 1988. His most successful work was writing the screenplay for the 2000 film” Meet the Parents” as well as writing the story and screenplay for its 2004 sequel “Meet the Fockers.” To date, both those films remain on the list of the 20 Highest Grossest Comedies. More recently, in 2015 his screenplay for “Meet the Parents” was selected by the Writer's Guild of America's as one of the “101 Funniest Screenplays” of all time. Herzfeld was also the writer of the canceled Circle 7 Animation version of Toy Story 3 and has done countless punch-up and rewrites on dozens of big budget comedies and animated films for virtually every major studio. Herzfeld has also guest lectured about screenwriting at several major universities, including NYU, UCLA and AFI along with appearing on writer panels at various film festivals, most notably the Austin Film Festival where Jim was a judge for their Comedy Screenplay Competition. Currently, Herzfeld continues to write and develop comedy screenplays and recently became an advisor for Scripthop, a software startup focused on revolutionizing how screenplays are both presented and circulated throughout the entertainment industry. FRED DEKKER - Pursuing a movie career, he moved to Los Angeles where his fledgling screenwriting efforts led to a Hollywood agent and a job writing Godzilla: King of the Monsters for director Steve Miner. Although the film went unproduced, Dekker provided the story for Miner's 1985 horror-comedy House, starring William Katt (screenplay by Ethan Wiley). The film was recognized by the Fantasporto and the Avoriaz Film Festivals, and spawned several sequels. Dekker made his directorial debut with Night of the Creeps, an homage to B-movies that eventually developed a devoted cult following. He went on to direct another cult favorite, The Monster Squad, co-written with his UCLA friend Shane Black. He subsequently wrote five episodes of Tales From The Crypt, including the first episode, directed by Robert Zemeckis. In 1991, Dekker conceived the Denzel Washington starrer Ricochet and the spy spoof If Looks Could Kill, both for Warner Bros. He then returned to the director's chair for the third RoboCop film, co-written with comic book legend Frank Miller. As a script doctor, Dekker made uncredited contributions to films including Titan A.E. and Lethal Weapon 4. He then served as Consulting Producer and wrote three episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise. In 2015, he reteamed with Shane Black on a western TV pilot for Amazon Studios, entitled Edge. The two went on to co-write the 2018 release The Predator, which Black also directed. Dekker's international awards include the Silver Raven from the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film; the Estrella de Fantastico Award from the 2019 Bilbao Fantasy Film Festival; and the 2024 Honorary Time Machine Award (Premi Màquina del Temps) at the Sitges Film Festival for his contributions to horror and fantasy cinema. He is currently developing a true crime limited series for Amazon based on a murder which occurred in his hometown.SHANE BLACK is a writer/director whose writing credits include such films as Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight and The Monster Squad. He began as a director in 2005 with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and receives increasingly strident sequel requests for 2016's The Nice Guys. He is currently writing a spec original and trying to lose some weight by New Years'. Not that he's fat -- he's just old, and being careful.DAVID SILVERMAN After graduating from UCLA in 1983, David Silverman worked as a freelance illustrator and animator until, in 1987, he landed a job animating on The Tracey Ullman Show — where The Simpsons began. Animating on all 48 shorts led to David directing the first shows of The Simpsons. Starting with the Christmas Special in December 1989, and then the premiere episode the following month, David soon became Supervising Animation Director and a producer on The Simpsons. All told, he has directed 24 episodes and has won 4 Emmys along the way. When no one was looking, David snuck away from The Simpsons to work at DreamWorks (The Road to El Dorado – co-director), Pixar (Monsters, Inc. – co-director), and Blue Sky (Ice Age, Robots – writing and boarding). But, he came back to the show full-time at the end of 2003 and directed The Simpsons Movie. In 2012, David directed and co-wrote the short film The Longest Daycare about Maggie Simpson, which earned him an Academy Award nomination.And since the Disney acquisition of The Simpsons (via the purchase of Fox), David has directed 10 Simpsons shorts especially for Disney+, as well as several promotional pieces.Editing Notes: There are many verbal cuts on the show we directed to Dan. Also after the show, Shane Black emailed and ask we cut out this. I say “It's nice your place was a rape free environment” and Shane says something like: “But not rape free for guys,”.

David and Thomas discuss the use of AI in sermon development. They also suggest ways that a pastor and churches can use AI ethically.

Tariffs dominated headlines. AI moved from pilot to production. Automation got real. But what did 2025 actually look like for operators on the ground? New Balance COO Dave Wheeler joins Lauren Acoba, VP, Research Advisory Services at Zero100, to reflect on a year of “unpredictable disruption” – and reveal why the companies that thrived weren't chasing efficiency at all costs. From 806,000 square feet of robotic warehousing to the irreplaceable value of human craftsmanship, this is the 2025 year in review you need to hear.2025 in two words: “Unpredictable disruption” (00:54)Made in USA for 75 years – validation or new challenges?

Honey, when did humanity become just ridiculous? When did that happen? This morning? It happened fast and very recently. The machines are humouring us. The machines are eating our children. The machines are feeling lonely today. The machines are finding new investments in Crypto, AI and ICE. The machines have lost control of their bowels but they love waste. The machines are programmed to search for love and bring it back to the market. And if we refuse?
Send us a textKids are meeting chatbots everywhere, from homework helpers to pop‑ups on websites, and many of them think the robot “feels” things. We cut through the hype with a friendly, practical guide that shows how chatbots really work, why they sometimes sound brilliant and sometimes go off the rails, and what families can do to stay curious and safe at the same time.We start by breaking down the core idea: a chatbot predicts the next word using patterns, not feelings or understanding. That simple lens explains why a bot can write a funny pizza joke yet invent a name when asked about your classroom. From there, we shift into digital safety that kids can remember: treat a chatbot like a stranger, never share personal information, and pause the moment a reply feels weird or unkind. Along the way we model the “grown‑up in the loop” rule and show how to fact‑check results so confidence never replaces care.To make it hands‑on, we share a quick kitchen‑table activity that sorts “Safe Questions” and “Not Safe Questions.” On one side, creative prompts like stories, riddles, and science facts. On the other, anything that reveals names, addresses, school details, or phone numbers. We wrap with five simple takeaways that turn into everyday habits: chatbots are not people, they make mistakes, you never share private data, you stop and tell a grown‑up when something feels off, and you can still have fun within clear boundaries.If this helped your family or classroom, subscribe for more parent‑friendly AI tips, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review so more caregivers can find these tools. Your support helps more kids stay safe, curious, and creative with AI.Support the showHelp us become the #1 podcast for AI for Kids.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
Today's episode breaks down OpenAI's quiet adoption of Anthropic's “skills” mechanism and why it could meaningfully change how AI agents work in practice. The discussion explains what skills are, how progressive disclosure improves efficiency and reliability, and why modular, shareable instruction folders may matter more than building ever-more complex agents. In the headlines: fallout from the White House executive order blocking state AI regulation, GOP infighting over AI policy, Nvidia H200 export approval to China and Beijing's response, and early benchmark results for GPT-5.2.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

In a post capitalist society with equal opportunity and no need to work for all citizens, where does inherent human nature drive people? Do they rise to greater heights or become lazy and goalless?

In this lively and heartfelt episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Joe kick things off with the Question of the Week:“What fictional universe would you want to raise kids in — and why?”Joe immediately champions the Robots universe, praising one key feature every parent dreams of: kids with volume dials. Charles, meanwhile, paints a wild and colorful picture of parenting in the zany world of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, where chaos may be constant, but imagination thrives. And longtime fan favorite Devocite calls in to share his own pick — the magical, whimsical, and wonderfully strange version of Oz from the classic books.After a roll of the dice, the adventure continues with the “What Are You Nerding Out About?” segment. Joe gushes about rewatching Frequency with his wife and rediscovering how emotionally powerful it is. Charles, after a few delightful detours, dives into his latest obsession: Split Fiction, a new psychological video game that's caught his curiosity in all the best ways.The next random segment leads to “Daddy, Tell Me A Story,” where the hosts look back on comically ill-advised moments from their lives — those unforgettable stories of getting into trouble for doing something, well… dumb. It's relatable, hilarious, and an instant reminder that we all have those moments.The dice then deliver a round of Bad Dad Jokes, courtesy of Joe, whose delivery is somehow both perfect and perfectly groan-worthy. Charles suffers valiantly.When fate calls for the “Parliament of Papas,” Charles and Joe talk through a real situation shared by listener TheFullRunThrough, discussing how life's chaos sometimes spills into relationships — and how communication can help repair the cracks.Finally, the show wraps up with “How Do I…?”, where the hosts share thoughtful and nerd-approved advice on choosing the best geeky gifts for your family and friends. Whether it's fandom merch, tabletop games, or personalized treasures, Charles and Joe break down how to gift thoughtfully and creatively.Across stories, tangents, laughs, and dad wisdom, this episode invites every listener to Find your FAMdom and celebrate the joy of being both a parent and a nerd.

AI advantage is proving to be compounding, not linear. Drawing on new data from OpenAI, Menlo Ventures, EY, and early AI ROI Benchmarking results, this episode explains how leading organizations are pulling away by using AI more intensively, moving beyond time savings into higher-value use cases, and reinvesting gains back into deeper capabilities—creating flywheels that laggards will struggle to catch. In the headlines: real-world AI benchmarks, OpenAI user growth, chip-war intrigue, Oracle earnings, and AI market volatility.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

As the planet warms, the world's glaciers are melting faster than snow can replenish the ice. That has implications for sea level rise, ocean currents, and global weather patterns. But collecting data at the edge of a melting glacier can be risky.Glaciologist Erin Pettit and her colleagues are listening to the sounds melting glaciers make—from the sizzling of trapped air bubbles bursting, to the deep rumbles of underwater calving of icebergs. She joins Host Flora Lichtman to share some glacial sounds, and describe the multi-stage robot tools she uses to monitor melting ice.Guest: Dr. Erin Pettit is a professor of geophysics and glaciology at Oregon State University.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, living in an era when activists of various stripes argue that, well, everything should have rights. Animals, nature, plants, the moon, rivers, AI/robots, you name it. Now, in Newsweek, the transhumanism popularizer and California gubernatorial candidate Zoltan Istvan argues that we should give robots rights so they will show mercy on us. Seriously. Anyway (and also) House GOP leaders will bring a vote next week on a package of health care bills that does not include an extension of expiring Obama Care enhanced subsidies as Republicans remain divided about how to address the health care cliff ahead of a midterm election year, the Federal Reserve announced Wednesday a quarter percentage point cut to its overnight lending rate and more on the Russian hoax.
