Coffee with Samso Episode 206 is about how we understand and interact with AI. We all know what Artificial Intelligence is about but do we really know ? Are we just taking it for granted what we actually know and is it sufficient to just take what people say about about what AI will do for or to us in the coming years. After a short break to launch Samso News — our new platform blending ASX announcements with the signature Samso blog style — we're diving headfirst into the evolving world of artificial intelligence. In this deeply engaging episode of Coffee with Samso, we are focusing today squarely on one of the most transformative forces of our time: Artificial Intelligence (AI). Joining us is Eric Starling, Principal Innovation Advisor at Amazon Web Services (AWS), who brings over two decades of experience in software design, innovation strategy, AI integration, and digital transformation. Eric is not just a technologist — he's a builder, a thinker, and a translator between code and real-world outcomes. We sat down at the UWA Club on the grounds of the University of Western Australia for an honest, wide-ranging conversation that demystifies what AI is, how it works, and where it's taking us. Key Topics Covered in the Coffee with Samso on Artificial Intelligence. What AI Is — and What It Is Not Eric explains how AI systems like ChatGPT and Claude don't “think” in the way humans do. Instead, they learn from massive datasets, building probabilistic models to predict likely responses based on prior inputs. The concept of “autocorrect on steroids” is used to illustrate how large language models (LLMs) operate. Language Models and Why English Is the New “Code” in Artificial Intelligence For non-technical users, the rise of LLMs represents a paradigm shift. No longer do you need to speak in code — natural language itself has become the interface. This accessibility is redefining who gets to build, create, and automate. The Role of Data — Why AI Wouldn't Exist Without the Internet Eric underscores the fundamental role that the internet and cloud computing play in powering AI. From the petabytes of storage to globally linked data centres, AI's performance relies on a vast, interconnected ecosystem. AI Doesn't Reason — It Repeats Patterns A powerful analogy compares image recognition AI to showing a model 10,000 pictures of a cat. The model “learns” by exposure, not by understanding. This highlights the difference between learning and cognition, a distinction too often blurred in public discourse. Agentic AI and Industry Transformation We delve into agentic AI, which moves beyond chat interfaces into tools that can take actions, manage files, automate workflows, and simulate decision-making processes. This development is fueling a wave of innovation across industries — from grant writing to robotic inspection. AI in China vs. the West — A Tale of Two Approaches We explore how AI implementation differs starkly between China and Western nations. In the West, commercial viability and public acceptance are major hurdles. In contrast, China's top-down model has allowed faster implementation — raising important questions about innovation, ethics, and regulation. Deepfakes, Data Ownership & Ethical AI Eric raises critical concerns about data control and digital identity. What happens when small AI companies are acquired or go bust? Where does your data go — your voice, your image, your interactions? The episode serves as a cautionary tale about uploading personal content without considering long-term implications. AI's Creative Disruption in Entertainment One of the most thought-provoking segments explores how AI may not replace actors or creatives, but could radically expand who gets to produce high-quality content. Eric envisions a world where indie creators and hobbyists wield studio-level capabilities — disrupting traditional media from the ground up. What the Future Holds — AI in 5, 10, 15 Years Eric offers predictions on how AI will evolve: A world filled with interchangeable micro-agents Lower barriers to business innovation Tools that assist — not replace — human creativity A higher value placed on intention and authenticity in content creation Misunderstandings and Missed Conversations Eric notes that cognition remains the most misunderstood concept of AI. The tools may sound smart, but they don't “know” anything. He also warns of the underappreciated risk of data misuse when using third-party AI services without considering data ownership. Samso Concluding Comments - The Coffee with Samso Discussion: This episode with Eric Starling is a reminder that Artificial Intelligence is not just a buzzword — it's a structural shift. One that is already changing how businesses operate, how services are delivered, and how value is created. For ASX investors, the real takeaway here is this: AI is no longer confined to Silicon Valley or tech unicorns. It's becoming embedded in sectors across the board — from mining and energy to biotech, financial services, and logistics. Companies that can leverage AI meaningfully — not just sprinkle it into their marketing decks — are likely to unlock productivity gains, margin expansion, and operational efficiencies that markets may not yet be fully pricing in. Over the last few months, I have learnt and as Eric clearly articulates, not all AI is created equal. The true edge comes from owning your data, understanding the limitations of generative tools, and building AI agents that solve specific problems with clear intent. This is where discerning investors should pay attention: Is the company investing in capability, or just riding the narrative? We're also entering a period where content creation, compliance, customer service, and internal processes ar.e being quietly transformed — especially in capital-light industries. In our view, the most investable opportunities on the ASX may come not from “AI companies,” but from traditional businesses that are applying AI in transformative ways. This conversation reinforces our belief that investors need to go deeper than headlines. Understanding where a company sits in the AI landscape — builder, adopter, or observer — could offer meaningful insight into future performance and resilience The chapters below will help you navigate the Coffee with Samso and l hope you will all get some value from Eric.

We are always asking the question that may sound simple and irrelevant, but these are typically the ones that make sense to you, the one seeking the knowledge. Our mission is simple: cut through the noise and spotlight what matters—genuine stories, grounded insights, and real opportunity. Our content is well-researched and is only created if the team sees a merit in discussing the company or concept. Investors can explore our three core platforms: Coffee with Samso Samso News Samso Insights There may be numerous paths to success in investing, but the common thread among successful individuals is that they remain committed to making informed decisions. Equip yourself with the right knowledge and tools, and you will be well on your way to achieving your financial goals. Most importantly, investors need to be absolutely diligent in understanding their own risk-reward tolerance and capabilities. Never bite off more than you can chew. As they say, Rome wasn't built in a day, and the Great Wall stood because it took centuries to complete. The Samso Philosophy: Stay curious. Stay sharp. And remember—digging deeper always uncovers the real value. In Life, there is no such thing as a Free Lunch. Happy Investing, and the only four-letter word you need to know is DYOR.

Get YDS Merch before July 25!!Support us on Patreon!This week on Your Diet Sucks, we're talking hormones: what they are, what they do, and why they've become the latest scapegoat for every diet culture grift on the internet. From adrenal fatigue (not real) to seed cycling (also not real), Zoë and Kylee cut through the pseudoscience and explain what actually supports hormone health—like eating enough, managing stress, and getting some damn sleep. We also take a look at the unhinged history of hormone manipulation (yes, monkey testicle transplants come up), why cortisol isn't your enemy, and what to do if your hormones actually feel off. If you've ever been told to “balance your hormones” with a supplement stack or juice cleanse, this episode is for you.Thanks to our sponsors:Get over 70 biomarkers analyzed and get personalized nutrition recommendations adn support, tailored specifically for athletes with Eternal's new Foundations membership.

Remember that when you can't breathe, you can't scream.  On today's episode, we discuss a movie that opened at number #1 at the box office and spawned 3 sequels and a spinoff with Lake Placid.   Despite all of this it was nominated for 6 Razzie awards, including worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay and worst couple— Jon Voight and the animatronic snake.  This movie taught us that even though the jungle makes you horny, you need to stay away because everything else is out to get you.    Make you cry July is in full effect.   Join us for 19997's Anaconda.   •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:10:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:14:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:24:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:35:00 - Modern day ratings ———————————————————— SPONSORS- ****ASPCA-  To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  ————————————————— **Support us at http://patreon.com/confusedbreakfast for bonus weekly episodes, voting on upcoming movies, giving your modern-day ratings on our movies and much more. **Mail us something   The Confused Breakfast PO Box 10016 Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-9802 Special thanks to our executive producers- Josh Miller, Starling, Michael Guiliano and NicMad.

There comes a time when you read the scriptures that you are going to have more questions than answers. Does that mean you should be concerned? No. Here's why: what makes the Word of God interesting and such a mystery is that it will leave you with the opportunity to search for those answers. It will give you the opportunity to get on your knees and ask God for his to reveal things to you. Matthews 7:7 NLT says, Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” So if you don't receive an answer at first, give it time. This episode was inspired by a Bible study I had with a friend. Yes this could have easily been a Bible reflection solo or with friends but this conversation made me go back and revisit the text and learn something I might have missed with deeper insight. I love the practice of thinking deeply and that's exactly what this passage did for me so I share it with you today. The text was Matthew 2:1-2 inspired by Bible study. Hope you enjoy!

Happy Sunday!!! This week we are talking about Bound By Stars by E.L. Starling. Said to be Titanic in space this Sci-Fi novel about star crossed lovers.    We want to thank E.L. Starling and Entangled Teen for gifting us an ARC in exchange for our honest review!!    We hope you enjoy and make sure you find us on all our socials to keep up with everything that is going on with us and the podcast! Socials Here   Summary:  A Love That Defies Gravity…and Fate She never belonged in his world. He never thought he'd leave it. When Weslie Fleet wins a golden ticket aboard the Boundless, humanity's most opulent starliner, it's a dream―and a danger. Raised in the dust-ridden ruins of Earth, she is thrust into the gleaming luxury of Mars's elite, where every whispered word carries weight and every glance is a silent judgment. And none watch her closer than Jupiter, the golden boy of Mars's high society, bound by duty, legacy, and a future he never chose. Their reluctant partnership was supposed to be a one-off assignment. Instead, it becomes a battle of wills, a spark that ignites, and a love neither of them anticipated. But fate is as cruel as it is unpredictable, and when the Boundless veers off course, love won't be enough to save them. The ship is failing. The odds are impossible. And in the darkness of space, survival is the only thing that matters. But some loves are worth defying the stars for.

On today's episode, we discuss a movie based off of one of the most popular video game franchises of the 90s.  A movie with a script that was so disposable that it was rewritten or thrown away daily on set and many of us still aren't sure what the plot is.  JCVD did everything he could to tank the movie, while Raul Julia is quite possibly the only saving grace, despite being his last role prior to passing away.   Make you cry July continues with 1994's Street Figher! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:15  - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:21:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:42:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- ****NordVPN-  Grab your EXCLUSIVE eal by going to http://nordvpn.com/breakfast to get a Huge Discount off your NordVPN Plan + 4 additional months on top!

Today,  Unfortunately, we had to postpone our review of Bound By Stars by E.L. Starling. Instead, we're diving into a hot topic in the book community: AI. We'll be sharing our thoughts on the recent news about two writers caught using AI to edit and write their books, and discussing the rise of an app called Character AI. More importantly, we're asking the big question: Is it ethical to use AI to write or even edit a novel? Want to know more about us? Then check out our socials here!    

Make you Cry July starts off with an absolute bang. This movie was Stephen King's first and only attempt at directing a movie and the critics didn't like it. Stephen himself hated it. But here we are almost 40 years later, dissecting one of the best bad movies ever made. It caused an irrational fear of soda machines, lawn mowers, drawbridges, trucks and drain pipes.

Fitz heads back to his cottage to speak with Starling and confront her. They argue but put it aside to speak of the political issues embroiling the Six Duchies regarding the Old Blood and Wit. Restating that he is done laying with her while she is married, Fitz sparks Starling's anger. She lashes out at both Fitz and Hap on her way out.  We're reading Fool's Errand by Robin Hobb, book 1 of the Tawny Man Trilogy in The Realm of the Elderlings.

On today's episode we discuss a movie loosely based on The Odessey and nominated for 2 Oscars.  This movie was the first adapted screenplay by the Coen Brothers and was called a hillbilly musical comedy adventure by John Turturo.  It made Dapper Dan a household name, and turned "Man of Constant Sorrow" into a bluegrass banger for the new millennium.

A published poet, author of “Novice”, and mom, Nida Sophrasarun talks about how her poetry is influenced by her family on two ends: on one end, it was her family's inability to communicate emotions that lead her to finding her voice in poetry. On the other end, the birth of her son lead her to finding herself again through writing. Nida talks about her Thai mom Kobkua, “a tiger”, as Nida describes her, from whom Nida learned important lessons, in spite of their challenging relationship. Nida talks about showing love and connecting through food; about the solace of mysticism; about finding her unique voice; and understanding what really belongs to us - and what is just an illusion. Nida also read her poem "Starling" for us. To order Nida's book of poems "Novice", go here.  You can read Nida's beautiful poem Violent Femmes here.

IBM has just unveiled its boldest quantum computing roadmap yet: Starling, the first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer—coming in 2029. Capable of running 20,000X more operations than today's quantum machines, Starling could unlock breakthroughs in chemistry, materials science, and optimization.According to IBM, this is not just a pie-in-the-sky roadmap: they actually have the ability to make Starling happen.In this exclusive conversation, I speak with Jerry Chow, IBM Fellow and Director of Quantum Systems, about the engineering breakthroughs that are making this possible ... especially a radically more efficient error correction code and new multi-layered qubit architectures.We cover:- The shift from millions of physical qubits to manageable logical qubits- Why IBM is using quantum low-density parity check (qLDPC) codes- How modular quantum systems (like Kookaburra and Cockatoo) will scale the technology- Real-world quantum-classical hybrid applications already happening today- Why now is the time for developers to start building quantum-native algorithms00:00 Introduction to the Future of Computing01:04 IBM's Jerry Chow01:49 Quantum Supremacy02:47 IBM's Quantum Roadmap04:03 Technological Innovations in Quantum Computing05:59 Challenges and Solutions in Quantum Computing09:40 Quantum Processor Development14:04 Quantum Computing Applications and Future Prospects20:41 Personal Journey in Quantum Computing24:03 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Cardinals cornerback Starling Thomas V sat down with Paul Calvisi to chat about his unique offseason workouts, what teams have learned about him after two years in the NFL, and how he's now one of the more experienced players in his group. He also shared his thoughts on how the front seven has looked during the first few weeks of organized team activities (OTAs). Plus, Ron Wolfley and Calvisi talked about why quarterback Kyler Murray and the offense need to be better at making plays when things break down, how the offense might get more complex this season, and the flexibility Zaven Collins brings to the defense. They also discussed who might step up at middle linebacker now that Kyzir White is gone, and how competitive things are at both wide receiver and cornerback.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Almost 2 months ago, we released a brunch episode recapping the first 2 episodes of Season 2 of HBO's The Last of Us.  It was a trial of sorts, as we may dip our toes in TV series reviews in the future.  Well, the problem with doing that episode was that we all obviously kept watching and badly wanted to recap the entire season with each other.

On the exciting conclusion of May of Damon, we are discussing a cult classic that helped launch the poker boom of the early 2000s, inspired millions of dudes to think they could turn $100 into a Vegas bankroll, and gave us the most unhinged Oreo-eating villain of all time.  It's Matt Damon playing a genius again, Ed Norton being a menace, and John Malkovich going full cartoon Russian mobster.

Have you ever felt so lit up about your life—overflowing with joy, gratitude, and high-vibe energy—only to be met with a cold, “Wow…you're such a Pollyanna,” or worse, “That's toxic positivity”? Ouch. That kind of pushback can feel like a spiritual sucker punch.In this powerful solo episode of The Abundance Journey, we unpack the surprising truth behind why your light might trigger someone else's shadow—and how to respond without dimming your brilliance.You'll learn:• What's really going on neurologically and spiritually when someone resists your joy• Why “positivity” can feel unsafe to people rooted in fear-based identity• The difference between true compassion and spiritual bypassing• How to validate someone's pain without agreeing to their story• Tools to stay aligned with your highest self and meet others where they areThis isn't about fixing anyone. It's about being the safe, steady presence that lets others reconnect with their own power. Because you don't climb the mountain for someone—you just show them the view is worth it.About the Host, Elaine Starling: (bio, personal links, resource links)Elaine Starling, The Abundance Ambassador and Host of The Abundance Journey Show, empowers successful individuals to move beyond financial achievements and discover deeper fulfillment by aligning their lives with their true purpose.

Imagine a movie so perfectly crafted that Jack Nicholson improvs half his scenes, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a character in constant panic, and Mark Wahlberg steals the entire film in under 10 minutes of screen time. We're talking Scorsese at his absolute PEAK.  We dissect The Departed scene by scene with a modern eye.   Which character might be secretly gay?  Did you catch the hidden on-screen tell about which characters wouldn't make it to the end of the movie?  Would you rather be Colin or Billy?  So grab your cranberry juice, tell your mom you're not gonna make it home for supper.   •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:30  - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:30- Critical and fan reviews •0:21:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:50:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- ****Hungryroot-  Get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

Matt Damon stars in "The Bourne Identity," a spy thriller that asks: What if your midlife crisis involved accidentally being a government-trained assassin instead of buying a sports car? Join us as we unpack how Jason Bourne turns amnesia into an extreme sport, complete with epic fight scenes, a Mini Cooper chase that defies physics, and more identity crises than a therapist's convention. We dive deep into the film that transformed Matt Damon from Good Will Hunting to global badass, proving that sometimes forgetting who you are is the best career move you'll ever make. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:11:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:24:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:42:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- **TushBaby-  Go to http://Tushbaby.com and start customizing your own carrier.
