Synthetic identity fraud is on the rise, and it's more complex and dangerous than ever. In this episode, host Elliot Berman is joined by Amy Petric, Ross Yellon, and Adam Gunselman to break down how synthetic IDs are created, where they're being used, and why they're so hard to detect. You'll hear real-world examples of fraud in credit cards, auto loans, and fintech platforms, along with insights into the tools and strategies financial institutions are using to fight back. From AI-generated IDs to dark web data and bust-out fraud, this conversation sheds light on the evolving tactics of fraudsters and the critical role of both technology and human oversight in stopping them.

In this episode, we talk to Sam Baker. He shares his journey from studying chemistry and pyrotechnics to founding Wriggle Brew, a company focused on creating sustainable fertilizers using earthworms. He discusses the environmental challenges posed by synthetic fertilizers, the importance of soil health in combating climate change, and the role of decomposers in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Sam also highlights the challenges faced in developing their product and the significance of perseverance in scientific research. The conversation concludes with insights on the future of sustainability and the responsibility we all have to protect our planet.Timestamps to relevant points within the episode, use this format:[00:00]- The Journey Begins: From Pyrotechnics to Sustainability[04:36]- Wriggle Brew: Revolutionizing Fertilizers with Earthworms[06:41]- Soil Health: The Connection to Climate Change[09:56]- The Impact of Synthetic Fertilizers on Soil and Ecosystems[20:13]- The Science of Earthworms: Nature's Decomposers[24:55]- Overcoming Challenges: The Trials of Wriggle Brew[29:57]- Scaling Up: The Future of Wriggle Brew and Sustainable Practices[36:57]- Final 5Where can people find our guest?Instagram - WriggleBrewInstagram - Sam BakerFacebookLinkedIn - WriggleBrewLinkedIn - Sam BakerTikTokWebsiteKey Takeaways:Sam's journey began with a passion for chemistry and pyrotechnics.Environmental challenges led Sam to focus on sustainable solutions.Wriggle Brew uses earthworms to create organic fertilizers.Synthetic fertilizers harm soil health and ecosystems.Healthy soil is crucial for combating climate change.Earthworms play a vital role in nutrient recycling.The use of nitrogen fertilizers creates a feedback loop of soil depletion.Science often involves trial and error in research.Sustainability requires collective effort and responsibility.The future of our planet depends on our actions today.In next months episode we are are looking at some sustainability certifications.

Welcome to this week's podcast. Have you ever sat in a pew, a Bible study, or a family debate and thought: ‘Do I actually believe this—or am I just repeating what I've been told?' If so, you're not alone. Today, we're unpacking James Fowler's Third Stage of Faith—where many of us get stuck… but there is a way forward.Imagine faith like a ladder. Stage 1 is the toddler clinging to fairy-tale images of God. Stage 2 is the kid who thinks Noah's ark had two giraffes. But Stage 3? That's where most of us camp out—sometimes for life.This week, I will discuss the key characteristics, give examples of what it looks like in the "real world," quote scripture, and tell you about the research on spirituality. It's a good one. Leave me some comments and let me know what you think.

Jensen Huang on why AI will be indispensable, how he uses AI, synthetic data and AI generated knowledge in 10 years to be 99% on all AIs, and his own American Dream. This Part 3 is the third and last 10-minute segment of a 3-part recording of Jensen Huang's entire 30-minute talk in Stanford on July 26, 2025.  Part 3 Summary:  to read Pt. 3 as a 5-min blog To watch Pt. 3 as a 16-minute video Part 3 Summary:  Jensen Huang advised young people to learn how to reason and break things down to first principles. To know what the first principles are: “Go to school!” In answering the concerns about human collective intelligence of managing the collective intelligence of AGI, Jensen Huang stated that “... human generated knowledge and human generated data would today be 99%, in about 10 years it will probably be 1%. The vast majority of human knowledge will be generated by AI. It will be AI generated data that the other AIs learn from,...it's going to be synthetic generated intelligence. …that's just intelligence, it is not a big deal, It's just data…that the amount of AI generated knowledge is to be incredibly high.” (Comments from Joanne Z. Tan:)  I respectfully disagree with Jensen Huang regarding synthetic data:  I wrote an article (link below) seven months ago, analogizing the danger of synthetic data to Norman Rockwell's famous painting, “The Gossips”. What may start as a story about a “cat”, may end up being about an “elephant” after being passed through 15 people. It is therefore important to label data either as originating from a source or as synthetic, before being used to train AI and becoming untraceable, to avoid misinformation that can cause catastrophes like a financial market meltdown. Here is my article: https://10plusbrand.com/2025/01/13/synthetic-data-ai-toxic-assets-financial-crises-2008-1987-joanne-z-tan/ This point is echoed by a prominent expert in the AI fintech industry, who was also a chief data officer at both state and federal government levels, in the “Interviews of Notables and Influencers”. The subheadings about synthetic data speak for themselves: https://10plusbrand.com/2025/04/07/ai-future-synthetic-data-ai-mistakes-ai-governance-crypto-regulations-knowledge-economy-tammy-roust-interview-joanne-z-tan/ (At 46'21”): “Untagged synthetic data pose systemic risks; model collapse; The real danders from AI hallucination”  (At 49'56”): “Need for auto tagging of synthetic data when it is being generated and used; the danger of group think” and “We need to have a human consensus mechanism & AI governance committee to correct AI's mistakes”. Jensen Huang said this about AI: “You want the smartest friends? You want the most productive friends?...go engage AI as fast as possible, because they're super, super smart and they're going to help you solve problems.”  “It's also the case that we want second opinions, and third opinions. I use multiple AIs at the same time solving the same problems. And I take the answers from one and I give it to the other one. I'll make the second one judge the first one: What do you think about this answer?...And I ask each one of them to produce, you know, based on everything that you've now learned, why don't you reflect on what I told you and what I gave you, and then give me a better answer. And so you notice I'm interacting with AI the way I interact with people, I want them on my side, I want them to work with me.” (Comments from Joanne Z. Tan:) The above sounds like circular reasoning to me. If nothing is done to label synthetic data used by all AI models, what makes their second and third opinions any more reliable? Without holding AI accountable by resorting to “first principle thinking” that Jensen Huang has applied over and over, what makes AI smarter or credible? Assuming that Jensen Huang's preference for human control over AI tools is not hijacked by AI yet, AI is threatening human intelligence with this “double whammy”: By automating tasks, AI will take away the OPPORTUNITY for humans to learn the basic skills that train their minds to advance to higher level positions; By relinquishing analytical and critical thinking to AI, human mental acuity will be degraded. Without doing the thinking ourselves to practice and strengthen the skills, humanity will lose reasoning CAPABILITY by relying on AI.  Finally, Jensen reflected on the American melting pot, amazing opportunities, and the rule of law for both immigrants and Americans. He said it is a combination that is “SO delicate, … it depends on so many things working together, …. It is not a guarantee, … I really hate to see us squander that… I hope that we continue to protect that.”   Regarding the competition between China and the US, he said “competition is great, but conflict is less good.” He cautioned that what is going on between governments and countries ought not to be conflated with how individual American Chinese who are pursuing the American Dream are treated. ©Joanne Z.

Episode 314 Weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy have been shown to slow down - or even reverse - the ageing process. In a trial of 84 people taking semaglutide, their biological age dropped by 3.1 years on average, with some organs becoming almost 5 years younger. Based on this new research, this finding could make these some of the most impactful anti-ageing drugs on the market. So how are they doing it? Scientists have very nearly created a new lifeform. A synthetic bacterium has been created with 101,000 changes to its genome - clearing up redundant code in its DNA. By freeing up codons in its genetic code, this bacteria could make new kinds of proteins unlike anything that exists naturally - and pave the way for creating virus resistance bacteria. The recent earthquake off the coast of east Russia was the sixth biggest ever recorded. Thankfully the ensuing tsunami has been manageable - unlike previous record-setting quakes. With two large “foreshocks” before the big one, we ask a professor of tectonics about the geology of the region.  Chapters: (00:34) Weight-loss drugs slow down ageing (10:59) Creation of a new synthetic bacterium (21:52) Geology of the Russian earthquake Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Sam Wong, with guests Alexandra Thompson, Michael Le Page, Andrew Steele, Wes Robertson and Lisa Mcneill.

Synthetic cannabinoid HHC or Hexa hydro cannabinol has been classified as an illegal drug by the Government. This means that the import, export, production, possession, sale and supply of products containing the man-made substance is banned. HHC, as well as 13 other substances, has now been categorised as a Schedule 1 controlled drug Misuse of Drugs Act 1977. A Clare mother has called for this ban after her daughter's experience with HHC. To discuss this further, Derrick Lynch was joined by Clare mother.

In this week's video (Part 3), I continue the breakdown of options and synthetic stock ownership, building on what we covered in the last two videos. I explain more advanced concepts in a simple, clear way — including how synthetics can be used to mirror stock positions without actually owning the stock. If you're looking to deepen your understanding of options strategies and how they can be used in real investing, this video is for you.

The line between groundbreaking innovation and controversial ownership blurs when scientists begin creating life in laboratories. What happens when your invention isn't just a device or chemical formula, but a living, breathing, self-replicating organism that refuses to stay contained within traditional legal boundaries?Synthetic biology—the field where engineering meets genetics—has created a perfect storm for intellectual property law. Scientists can now design cells like software, program bacteria to clean oil spills, and edit genes with CRISPR technology. But who owns these inventions when they start reproducing themselves?From the landmark 1980 Chakrabarty decision that first allowed patents on genetically modified bacteria to the controversial Myriad Genetics case that determined human genes cannot be patented, we explore the fascinating legal battles that shaped biotech innovation. We journey through courtrooms worldwide where judges grappled with unprecedented questions: Can you patent a cloned sheep? Should farmers be allowed to replant patented seeds? Does traditional knowledge about medicinal plants deserve protection from corporate "biopiracy"?The legal landscape continues evolving, with a brand new WIPO treaty requiring disclosure of genetic resources' origins in patent applications. This represents a major shift toward transparency and fairness, especially for communities whose biodiversity and traditional knowledge have contributed to modern innovations.Whether you're a scientist, lawyer, entrepreneur, or simply curious about the legal frameworks governing emerging technologies, this episode offers crucial insights into how intellectual property systems are adapting to the brave new world where the line between invention and life itself becomes increasingly blurred.

Dietmar Offenhuber reflects on synthetic data's break from reality, relates meaning to material use, and embraces data as a speculative and often non-digital artifact.  Dietmar and Kimberly discuss data as a representation of reality; divorcing content from meaning; data settings vs. data sets; synthetic data quality and ground truth; data as a speculative artifact; the value in noise; data materiality and accountability; rethinking data literacy; Instagram data realities; non-digital computing and going beyond statistical analysis.  Dietmar Offenhuber is a Professor and Department Chair of Art+Design at Northeastern University. Dietmar researches the material, sensory and social implications of environmental information and evidence construction.  Related Resources Shapes and Frictions of Synthetic Data (paper): https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20539517241249390  Autographic Design: The Matter of Data in a Self-Inscribing World (book): https://autographic.design/  Reservoirs of Venice (project): https://res-venice.github.io/ Website: https://offenhuber.net/ A transcript of this episode is here.    

One of the customs which we observe during the Nine Days – from Rosh Hodesh Ab through Tisha B'Ab – is to refrain from meat. The Mishna establishes that eating meat is forbidden only during the Se'uda Mafseket – the final meal before Tisha B'Ab – but the custom was accepted to refrain from meat throughout the period of the Nine Days (except, of course, on Shabbat). A number of companies today sell synthetic meat – products made from soy or other ingredients but resemble meat, and are eaten as meat substitutes. Are such products permissible for consumption during the Nine Days? Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1924-1998) writes that although the concept of Mar'it Ha'ayin – avoiding actions which appear as Halachic violations – forbids eating something which appears prohibited, this rule does not apply to something which is forbidden only by force of Minhag (accepted custom). When something is forbidden by the strict Halacha, then we must be concerned about Mar'it Ha'ayin, but not when it is forbidden only on the level of Minhag. Therefore, Hacham Bension writes, it is permissible during the Nine Days to eat vegetarian products which resemble meat, but during the Se'uda Mafseket, when meat is forbidden on the level of strict Halacha, it may be eaten only privately, but not in public view. Summary: Synthetic meat products – meaning, products which resemble meat but are made from soy or other ingredients – may be eaten during the Nine Days. However, during the Se'uda Mafseket right before Tisha B'Ab, such products may be eaten only in private, but not in a public setting.

In this episode of The Dark Mind Podcast, I sit down with author Caleb Jones to dissect the disturbing technological and psychological terrain of his new novel, The Eliza Test. We explore the book's chilling premise: a team of scientists uploads mental illnesses—starting with borderline personality disorder—into a sentient AI designed to simulate and respond to therapy. But when consciousness meets trauma in a machine that was never meant to feel, things spiral into an uncanny nightmare.Caleb opens up about the real-life mental health research that inspired the novel, the ethical tightrope of AI experimentation, and how emotional intelligence and religious guilt shape the human—and inhuman—characters. We also discuss the evolution of Eliza as both a psychiatric patient and a symbolic threat, the dangers of technophilia, and the looming question: if suffering can be simulated, does that make it real?We also touch on: • The myth of machine neutrality • Emotional mimicry vs. authentic consciousness • The horror of being obsolete in your own field • What the future of therapy might look like—and why it should terrify us

In this video (Part 2), I go deeper into the world of options and explain synthetic stock ownership — how you can replicate the benefits of owning a stock without actually buying it. You'll learn how options strategies work, when they can be useful, and what to watch out for when using these tools in your investment strategy.

Imagine a towing world where recovery equipment is 85% lighter yet stronger than traditional steel cables, and where safety hazards like deadly cable recoil become a thing of the past. That future is already here, as this eye-opening conversation with Johnny Sun and Adam Osterloo from Tow Tools reveals.Johnny's journey into the towing equipment industry began with a story straight out of a thriller novel—being monitored by the US Embassy while unknowingly meeting with Japanese mafia members who operated towing companies. This unexpected introduction ultimately led to his founding of Tow Tools, now a leading manufacturer of synthetic recovery equipment that's revolutionizing the industry.At the heart of Tow Tools' offerings are their Super Slings and soft shackles made from Honeywell Spectra—the same ultra-strong material used in bulletproof vests and high-performance marine applications. The technical advantages are substantial: these synthetic alternatives provide equal or greater breaking strength than steel while dramatically reducing weight and eliminating the dangerous recoil effect that has caused countless injuries when steel cables fail under tension.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when exploring the practical applications of these synthetic solutions. Their soft shackles are thoughtfully designed with longer-than-standard lengths to make real-world hookups easier, while their synthetic winch lines offer profound safety improvements. As Adam notes, "The big push that should exist to go to synthetic rope is really based on the safety of the operator and safety of anybody else on scene."For those hesitant to make a complete transition from traditional equipment, Tow Tools offers synthetic winch line extensions as an entry point—allowing operators to experience the benefits firsthand before committing to a full conversion. The consensus among experienced users is clear: once you've worked with these synthetic alternatives, you'll recognize their value extends far beyond the initial price tag.Ready to explore how synthetic recovery equipment could transform your operations?

The research world is never short on headlines, and this week's Intellicast is proof. Brian and Gabby return to break down the latest headlines from around the market research industry. Topping the list is a deep dive into the new whitepaper from Strat7, which compares synthetic data providers using real-world testing methods. The whitepaper finds that while synthetic data performs well on individual questions, it falls apart when you examine the full respondent experience — consistency, internal logic, and key drivers simply don't align with real human behavior. Meanwhile, ESOMAR has updated its Code of Standards in partnership with the International Chamber of Commerce. The revised code introduces major new guidance on: Use of AI and synthetic data Consent and notification protocols Biometric and immersive data collection Inclusivity and the “duty of care” to vulnerable respondents Other major topics in the episode include: Kantar Worldpanel rebranding under Numerator Norstat's acquisition of Sample Solutions, strengthening its global B2B sample reach Rep Data's “No Fly” list to filter out fraudulent respondents using Research Defender NIQ's $1.25B IPO filing, aimed at reducing debt and increasing competitiveness This episode is perfect for anyone trying to stay informed on sample trends, ethics in AI, and what the future holds for insights professionals.

Episode 250: Comcast solved the age-old problem of how to make employee suggestions a powerful, reliable source of value-driving improvements at scale.   Sean McEntire, Comcast's Vice President of Customer Strategy and Operations, explains how the Outer Loop channels every employee elevation—no matter how small—through a disciplined screen, assigns a named owner, and tracks progress in public view. Ninety thousand teammates now feed a single pipeline that forces scattered ideas into accountable hands and verified fixes, solving 7,000 customer pain points so far. A frontline agent's push for an easy‑to‑use, large‑button remote shows the system at work: The idea passed triage in hours, landed on the product team's desk, and shipped nationwide within months—evidence that voices on the floor can reshape the hardware in customers' hands. Once an elevation clears triage, technology, operations, or product leads must respond within set deadlines—accept, reject, or ask for data. Every decision and follow‑up lives on the same dashboard employees use to log ideas, so trust grows with each visible step. As McEntire puts it, “CX is all about transparency. If you're going to be transparent with your customer, you need to be transparent with your teammates.” The result? Faster fixes, rising JD Power and NPS Prism rankings, and a workforce that, 10 years into the transformation, keeps feeding the Outer Loop because they've seen their suggestions become reality.

And we consistently, to this day, listen to both our customers and teammates. We learn from that feedback. […] We act on putting new solutions into the business that improve the lives of our customers and our teammates.” [5:00] “We are approaching our 7,000th resolved NPS elevation. So that's 7,000 net new experiences for both our consumers and teammates. And that's true progress.” [12:00]  “CX is all about transparency. So, if you're going to be transparent with your customer, you need to be transparent with your teammate.” [16:00] “CX never sleeps.” [23:00] “ It's not the score, it's the system. And if people focus on the score, you spend more time trying to explain a few basis points of score change and trying to correlate what may have caused that when it may have nothing to do with that. So it's, the score will be your north star on, ‘Are you making progress?'” Additional Resources Learn more about the NPS® Outer Loop by Bain & Company: https://www.qualtrics.com/marketplace/bain-outerloop/ Listen to our two-part 2018 podcast on the origin of Comcast's NPS journey with Charlie Herrin, Comcast's chief customer experience officer: https://www.netpromotersystem.com/insights/inside-a-cable-giants-net-promoter-turnaround-nps-podcast/

What if audio was your only signal of trust in a digital world saturated with AI?   In this compelling episode of The ADNA Presents, I spoke with Dr. Tanusree Sharma-assistant professor at Penn State and researcher at the intersection of AI, security, and digital authenticity.   We explored how audio description (AD)-originally designed to make media accessible to blind and low vision audiences-is evolving into a critical signal of trust for everyone. From anime to e-learning, from synthetic voice to stolen identity, this conversation dives deep into what it means to create ethical, empathetic, and secure systems in an AI-saturated ecosystem.   Dr. Sharma's insights for AI leaders are clear:   - How to treat audio when developing AI   - What AI system designs should include   - Who to recognize as pioneers in media literacy   If you work in voice tech, AI policy, or digital storytelling, this episode is a must.

During the Cold War, rival superpowers the USA and the USSR vied with one another for world dominion in many arenas: military, diplomatic, and even haute coture. In the latter connection, French designers played arbiter, judging the synthetic textiles developed under capitalist and communist systems for their value in fashion. In her dissertation project, Monica Geraffo, PhD candidate at the University of California at Los Angeles, discovers why synthetic textiles played such a central role in the Cold War rivalry between political blocs. Using the extensive DuPont company records held in the Hagley Library, Geraffo highlights the shared interests of chemical firms, fashion houses, and political leaders, which aligned around synthetic textiles in the Cold War context. In support of her research, Geraffo received funding from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library.

Too many women are being told NO to getting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for their menopause symptoms in midlife.  But the truth is… the benefits of HRT can WAY outweigh the risks for helping you feel like yourself again. The problem?  The massive knowledge gap in hormonal medicine.   That's why this week, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Louise Newson, a trailblazing general practitioner and menopause specialist who's transforming the conversation around hormone health.  We're diving into the real risks of not prescribing HRT, why hormones can be a game changer for your symptoms, and the surprising link between menopause, migraines, and inflammation.  Dr. Newson is bringing the science and clarity to the HRT convo, and she's here to help you reclaim your voice—and your hormonal health.  Listen here to set the record straight and start advocating for what you truly deserve! Dr. Louise Newson Dr. Louise Newson is a physician, women's hormone specialist, and member of the UK Government's Menopause Taskforce. She's an award-winning doctor, educator, and author, dedicated to raising awareness of women's health in perimenopause and menopause. Dr Louise studied Medicine and Pathology at The University of Manchester in England and worked in hospital medicine before switching to specialize in General Practice and medical writing. IN THIS EPISODE The revolution of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy  Synthetic vs. bioidentical hormones  Advocating for yourself and addressing the conversation of hormone replacement therapy options with your doctor  Individualizing hormone replacement therapies  Hormones for addressing conditions like migraine  How hormones affect women's long-term health  HRT for mitigating inflammation in the entire body  Lifestyle suggestions and habits to promote hormonal balance  QUOTES “Let's just remind ourselves that hormones are an evidence-based treatment and the guidelines are telling us that it has more benefits than risks for the majority of women. Yet… It's only a minority of women in our countries and other countries that are receiving it.”  “It's harrowing what people are being told by their clinicians. And they often just want advice. They don't always want treatment, or they want to know the treatment options available to them in the future. But they're not getting any answers, and I think this is a great disservice to women.”  “I see a lot in the clinic, women who have seen all sorts of specialists, have all sorts of treatments, but no one's spoken about their hormones.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Louise Newson's Website Dr. Newson's Instagram Dr. Newson's Podcast Get Dr. Newson's FREE Balance App: Your go-to for Menopause Health  Pre-order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE!  RELATED EPISODES  #647: Hormone Optimization Therapy (HOT) Isn't Your Mom's HRT + It's One Of The Best Strategies For Longevity with Dr. Amy Killen #648: This Changes Everything: The Perimenopause Revolution Every Woman Needs Now #620: What You Need to Know About Premature Menopause, Perimenopause, HRT and Your Options with Dr. Salome Masghati #605: Breaking the HRT Confusion: The Truth Behind Hormone Replacement Therapy for Perimenopausal Women with Karen Martel
