Every day, we navigate between analog intuition and digital efficiency, between human wisdom and machine intelligence, between the messy beauty of physical presence and the seductive convenience of virtual interaction.This newsletter series will explore the tensions, paradoxes, and possibilities of being fundamentally analog beings in an increasingly digital world. We're not just using technology; we're being reshaped by it while simultaneously reshaping it with our deeply human, analog sensibilities.Analog Minds in a Digital World: Part 1We Have All the Information, So Why Do We Know Less?I was thinking about my old set of encyclopedias the other day. You know, those heavy volumes that sat on shelves like silent guardians of knowledge, waiting for someone curious enough to crack them open. When I needed to write a school report on, say, the Roman Empire, I'd pull out Volume R and start reading.But here's the thing: I never just read about Rome.I'd get distracted by Romania, stumble across something about Renaissance art, flip backward to find out more about the Reformation. By the time I found what I was originally looking for, I'd accidentally learned about three other civilizations, two art movements, and the invention of the printing press. The journey was messy, inefficient, and absolutely essential.And if I was in a library... well then just imagine the possibilities.Today, I ask Google, Claude or ChatGPT about the Roman Empire, and in thirty seconds, I have a perfectly formatted, comprehensive overview that would have taken me hours to compile from those dusty volumes. It's accurate, complete, and utterly forgettable.We have access to more information than any generation in human history. Every fact, every study, every perspective is literally at our fingertips. Yet somehow, we seem to know less. Not in terms of data acquisition—we're phenomenal at that—but in terms of deep understanding, contextual knowledge, and what I call "accidental wisdom."The difference isn't just about efficiency. It's about the fundamental way our minds process and retain information. When you physically search through an encyclopedia, your brain creates what cognitive scientists call "elaborative encoding"—you remember not just the facts, but the context of finding them, the related information you encountered, the physical act of discovery itself.When AI gives us instant answers, we bypass this entire cognitive process. We get the conclusion without the journey, the destination without the map. It's like being teleported to Rome without seeing the countryside along the way—technically efficient, but something essential is lost in translation.This isn't nostalgia talking. I use AI daily for research, writing, and problem-solving. It's an incredible tool. But I've noticed something troubling: my tolerance for not knowing things immediately has disappeared. The patience required for deep learning—the kind that happens when you sit with confusion, follow tangents, make unexpected connections—is atrophying like an unused muscle.We're creating a generation of analog minds trying to function in a digital reality that prioritizes speed over depth, answers over questions, conclusions over curiosity. And in doing so, we might be outsourcing the very process that makes us wise.Ancient Greeks had a concept called "metis"—practical wisdom that comes from experience, pattern recognition, and intuitive understanding developed through continuous engagement with complexity. In Ancient Greek, metis (Μῆτις) means wisdom, skill, or craft, and it also describes a form of wily, cunning intelligence. It can refer to the pre-Olympian goddess of wisdom and counsel, who was the first wife of Zeus and mother of Athena, or it can refer to the concept of cunning intelligence itself, a trait exemplified by figures like Odysseus. It's the kind of knowledge you can't Google because it lives in the space between facts, in the connections your mind makes when it has time to wander, wonder, and discover unexpected relationships.AI gives us information. But metis? That still requires an analog mind willing to get lost, make mistakes, and discover meaning in the margins.The question isn't whether we should abandon these digital tools—they're too powerful and useful to ignore. The question is whether we can maintain our capacity for the kind of slow, meandering, gloriously inefficient thinking that actually builds wisdom.Maybe the answer isn't choosing between analog and digital, but learning to be consciously hybrid. Use AI for what it does best—rapid information processing—while protecting the slower, more human processes that transform information into understanding. We need to preserve the analog pathways of learning alongside digital efficiency.Because in a world where we can instantly access any fact, the most valuable skill might be knowing which questions to ask—and having the patience to sit with uncertainty until real insight emerges from the continuous, contextual, beautifully inefficient process of analog thinking.Next transmission: "The Paradox of Infinite Choice: Why Having Everything Available Means Choosing Nothing"Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society.End of transmission.Marco______________________________________

Each one I find reminds me of a small, battered transistor radio from my youth. It belonged to my father, and before that, probably my grandfather. The leather case was cracked, the antenna wobbled, and the dial drifted if you breathed on it wrong. But when I was sixteen, sprawled across my bedroom floor in that small town near Florence with homework scattered around me, this little machine was my portal to everything that mattered.Late at night, I'd start by chasing the latest hits and local shows on FM, but then I'd venture into the real adventure—tuning through the static on AM and shortwave frequencies. Voices would emerge from the electromagnetic soup—music from London, news from distant capitals, conversations in languages I couldn't understand but somehow felt. That radio gave me something I didn't even know I was missing: the profound sense of belonging to a world much bigger than my neighborhood, bigger than my small corner of Tuscany.What I didn't realize then—what I'm only now beginning to understand—is that I was holding the first smartphone in human history.Not literally, of course. But functionally? Sociologically? That transistor radio was the prototype for everything that followed: the first truly personal media device that rewired how young people related to the world, to each other, and to the adults trying to control both.But to understand why the transistor radio was so revolutionary, we need to trace radio's remarkable journey through the landscape of human communication—a journey that reveals patterns we're still living through today.When Radio Was the Family HearthBefore my little portable companion, radio was something entirely different. In the 1930s, radio was furniture—massive, wooden, commanding the living room like a shrine to shared experience. Families spent more than four hours a day listening together, with radio ownership reaching nearly 90 percent by 1940. From American theaters that wouldn't open until after "Amos 'n Andy" to British families gathered around their wireless sets, from RAI broadcasts bringing opera into Tuscan homes—entire communities synchronized their lives around these electromagnetic rituals.Radio didn't emerge in a media vacuum, though. It had to find its place alongside the dominant information medium of the era: newspapers. The relationship began as an unlikely alliance. In the early 1920s, newspapers weren't threatened by radio—they were actually radio's primary boosters, creating tie-ins with broadcasts and even owning stations. Detroit's WWJ was owned by The Detroit News, initially seen as "simply another press-supported community service."But then came the "Press-Radio War" of 1933-1935, one of the first great media conflicts of the modern age. Newspapers objected when radio began interrupting programs with breaking news, arguing that instant news delivery would diminish paper sales. The 1933 Biltmore Agreement tried to restrict radio to just two five-minute newscasts daily—an early attempt at what we might now recognize as media platform regulation.Sound familiar? The same tensions we see today between traditional media and digital platforms, between established gatekeepers and disruptive technologies, were playing out nearly a century ago. Rather than one medium destroying the other, they found ways to coexist and evolve—a pattern that would repeat again and again.By the mid-1950s, when the transistor was perfected, radio was ready for its next transformation.The Real Revolution Was Social, Not TechnicalThis is where my story begins, but it's also where radio's story reaches its most profound transformation. The transistor radio didn't just make radio portable—it fundamentally altered the social dynamics of media consumption and youth culture itself.Remember, radio had spent its first three decades as a communal experience. Parents controlled what the family heard and when. But transistor radios shattered this control structure completely, arriving at precisely the right cultural moment. The post-WWII baby boom had created an unprecedented youth population with disposable income, and rock and roll was exploding into mainstream culture—music that adults often disapproved of, music that spoke directly to teenage rebellion and independence.For the first time in human history, young people had private, personal access to media. They could take their music to bedrooms, to beaches, anywhere adults weren't monitoring. They could tune into stations playing Chuck Berry, Elvis, and Little Richard without parental oversight—and in many parts of Europe, they could discover the rebellious thrill of pirate radio stations broadcasting rock and roll from ships anchored just outside territorial waters, defying government regulations and cultural gatekeepers alike. The transistor radio became the soundtrack of teenage autonomy, the device that let youth culture define itself on its own terms.The timing created a perfect storm: pocket-sized technology collided with a new musical rebellion, creating the first "personal media bubble" in human history—and the first generation to grow up with truly private access to the cultural forces shaping their identity.The parallels to today's smartphone revolution are impossible to ignore. Both devices delivered the same fundamental promise: the ability to carry your entire media universe with you, to access information and entertainment on your terms, to connect with communities beyond your immediate physical environment.But there's something we've lost in translation from analog to digital. My generation with transistor radios had to work for connection. We had to hunt through static, tune carefully, wait patiently for distant signals to emerge from electromagnetic chaos. We learned to listen—really listen—because finding something worthwhile required skill, patience, and analog intuition.This wasn't inconvenience; it was meaning-making. The harder you worked to find something, the more it mattered when you found it. The more skilled you became at navigating radio's complex landscape, the richer your discoveries became.What the Transistor Radio Taught Us About TomorrowRadio's evolution illustrates a crucial principle that applies directly to our current digital transformation: technologies don't replace each other—they find new ways to matter. Printing presses didn't become obsolete when radio arrived. Radio adapted when television emerged. Today, radio lives on in podcasts, streaming services, internet radio—the format transformed, but the essential human need it serves persists.When I was sixteen, lying on that bedroom floor with my father's radio pressed to my ear, I was doing exactly what teenagers do today with their smartphones: using technology to construct identity, to explore possibilities, to imagine myself into larger narratives.The medium has changed; the human impulse remains constant. The transistor radio taught me that technology's real power isn't in its specifications or capabilities—it's in how it reshapes the fundamental social relationships that define our lives.Every device that promises connection is really promising transformation: not just of how we communicate, but of who we become through that communication. The transistor radio was revolutionary not because it was smaller or more efficient than tube radios, but because it created new forms of human agency and autonomy.Perhaps that's the most important lesson for our current moment of digital transformation. As we worry about AI replacing human creativity, social media destroying real connection, or smartphones making us antisocial, radio's history suggests a different possibility: technologies tend to find their proper place in the ecosystem of human needs, augmenting rather than replacing what came before.As Marshall McLuhan understood, "the medium is the message"—to truly understand what's happening to us in this digital age, we need to understand the media themselves, not just the content they carry. And that's exactly the message I'll keep exploring in future newsletters—going deeper into how we can understand the media to understand the messages, and what that means for our hybrid analog-digital future.The frequency is still there, waiting. You just have to know how to tune in.__________ End of transmission.

In this episode of Brain in a Vat, we're joined by Brian Leiter, co-author (with Jamie Edwards) of a new book on Marx. We explore whether workers in contemporary capitalism are truly free—or trapped in a form of “wage slavery.” Leiter uses thought experiments to probe the limits of workplace freedom. He also examines Marx's labor theory of value—its strengths and flaws—and shows how modern capitalism both confirms and diverges from Marx's predictions.The conversation then turns to labor, technological change, human nature, and artificial intelligence—culminating in a pressing question: what futures of work await us under capitalism?Read "Marx (The Routledge Philosophers)" by Brian Leiter and Jaime Edwards here: https://www.amazon.com/Marx-Routledge-Philosophers-Brian-Leiter/dp/1138938505Chapters:[00:00] Introduction and Guest Welcome[00:18] Thought Experiment: Are You a Wage Slave?[02:10] Free Labor vs. Unfree Labor[05:11] Historical Context and Modern Implications[16:07] Capitalism's Role in Technological Progress[20:22] Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work[32:05] The Essential Nature of Human Beings[38:59] Critiques of Marx's Naivety[46:25] Technological Innovation and Labor[51:33] Marx's Labor Theory of Value[58:18] Fetishism of Commodities[01:00:59] Future of Capitalism and Human Nature[01:10:14] Concluding Thoughts on Marx and Capitalism

Get the book!What happens when artificial intelligence challenges humans for the invention crown? We dive into this provocative question by examining real-world examples where AI has revolutionized fields from drug discovery to furniture design.The evidence is compelling. AI systems have accelerated medical research, discovered antibiotics against resistant bacteria, identified new molecular patterns, and generated creative designs faster than humans could imagine. Yet every breakthrough required human direction, interpretation, and implementation. As we explore this partnership, the podcast reveals a fundamental truth - innovation isn't humans versus machines but humans with machines.The legal landscape adds another dimension to this discussion. We unpack the fascinating "Davos Saga," where Dr. Stephen Thaler's attempt to list his AI system as an inventor on patent applications met resistance worldwide. Courts in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, Japan, and Switzerland all reached the same conclusion: under current law, only natural persons can be inventors. This global consensus reflects the view that AI remains a sophisticated tool rather than an autonomous creator deserving legal rights.For inventors navigating this evolving landscape, emotional barriers often prove as challenging as technical ones. That's why we introduce the powerful "Fear Setting" exercise from my book "Protection of the Inventive Mind." This practical technique helps transform anxiety into action by confronting worst-case scenarios, developing safeguards, and planning recovery strategies.

Reviewing over 60 vendor announcements, Sean found identical phrases echoing repeatedly: "AI-powered," "integrated," "reduce analyst burden." The sameness forces buyers to sift through near-identical claims to find genuine differentiation.This reveals more than a marketing problem—it suggests that different technologies are being fed into the same promotional blender, possibly a generative AI one, producing standardized output regardless of what went in. When an entire industry converges on identical language to describe supposedly different technologies, meaningful technical discourse breaks down.But Sean's most troubling observation wasn't about marketing copy—it was about competence. When CISOs probe vendor claims about AI capabilities, they encounter vendors who cannot adequately explain their own technologies. When conversations moved beyond marketing promises to technical specifics, answers became vague, filled with buzzwords about proprietary algorithms.Reading Sean's analysis while reflecting on my own Black Hat experience, I realized we had witnessed something unprecedented: an entire industry losing the ability to distinguish between authentic capability and generated narrative—precisely as that same industry was studying external "narrative attacks" as an emerging threat vector.The irony was impossible to ignore. Black Hat 2025 sessions warned about AI-generated deepfakes targeting executives, social engineering attacks using scraped LinkedIn profiles, and synthetic audio calls designed to trick financial institutions. Security researchers documented how adversaries craft sophisticated deceptions using publicly available content. Meanwhile, our own exhibition halls featured countless unverifiable claims about AI capabilities that even the vendors themselves couldn't adequately explain.But to understand what we witnessed, we need to examine the very concept that cybersecurity professionals were discussing as an external threat: narrative attacks. These represent a fundamental shift in how adversaries target human decision-making. Unlike traditional cyberattacks that exploit technical vulnerabilities, narrative attacks exploit psychological vulnerabilities in human cognition. Think of them as social engineering and propaganda supercharged by AI—personalized deception at scale that adapts faster than human defenders can respond. They flood information environments with false content designed to manipulate perception and erode trust, rendering rational decision-making impossible.What makes these attacks particularly dangerous in the AI era is scale and personalization. AI enables automated generation of targeted content tailored to individual psychological profiles. A single adversary can launch thousands of simultaneous campaigns, each crafted to exploit specific cognitive biases of particular groups or individuals.But here's what we may have missed during Black Hat 2025: the same technological forces enabling external narrative attacks have already compromised our internal capacity for truth evaluation. When vendors use AI-optimized language to describe AI capabilities, when marketing departments deploy algorithmic content generation to sell algorithmic solutions, when companies building detection systems can't detect the artificial nature of their own communications, we've entered a recursive information crisis.From a sociological perspective, we're witnessing the breakdown of social infrastructure required for collective knowledge production. Industries like cybersecurity have historically served as early warning systems for technological threats—canaries in the coal mine with enough technical sophistication to spot emerging dangers before they affect broader society.But when the canary becomes unable to distinguish between fresh air and poison gas, the entire mine is at risk.This brings us to something the literary world understood long before we built our first algorithm. Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentine writer, anticipated this crisis in his 1940s stories like "On Exactitude in Science" and "The Library of Babel"—tales about maps that become more real than the territories they represent and libraries containing infinite books, including false ones. In his fiction, simulations and descriptions eventually replace the reality they were meant to describe.We're living in a Borgesian nightmare where marketing descriptions of AI capabilities have become more influential than actual AI capabilities. When a vendor's promotional language about their AI becomes more convincing than a technical demonstration, when buyers make decisions based on algorithmic marketing copy rather than empirical evidence, we've entered that literary territory where the map has consumed the landscape. And we've lost the ability to distinguish between them.The historical precedent is the 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast, which created mass hysteria from fiction. But here's the crucial difference: Welles was human, the script was human-written, the performance required conscious participation, and the deception was traceable to human intent. Listeners had to actively choose to believe what they heard.Today's AI-generated narratives operate below the threshold of conscious recognition. They require no active participation—they work by seamlessly integrating into information environments in ways that make detection impossible even for experts. When algorithms generate technical claims that sound authentic to human evaluators, when the same systems create both legitimate documentation and marketing fiction, we face deception at a level Welles never imagined: the algorithmic manipulation of truth itself.The recursive nature of this problem reveals itself when you try to solve it. This creates a nearly impossible situation. How do you fact-check AI-generated claims about AI using AI-powered tools? How do you verify technical documentation when the same systems create both authentic docs and marketing copy? When the tools generating problems and solving problems converge into identical technological artifacts, conventional verification approaches break down completely.My first Black Hat article explored how we risk losing human agency by delegating decision-making to artificial agents. But this goes deeper: we risk losing human agency in the construction of reality itself. When machines generate narratives about what machines can do, truth becomes algorithmically determined rather than empirically discovered.Marshall McLuhan famously said "We shape our tools, and thereafter they shape us." But he couldn't have imagined tools that reshape our perception of reality itself. We haven't just built machines that give us answers—we've built machines that decide what questions we should ask and how we should evaluate the answers.But the implications extend far beyond cybersecurity itself. This matters far beyond. If the sector responsible for detecting digital deception becomes the first victim of algorithmic narrative pollution, what hope do other industries have? Healthcare systems relying on AI diagnostics they can't explain. Financial institutions using algorithmic trading based on analyses they can't verify. Educational systems teaching AI-generated content whose origins remain opaque.When the industry that guards against deception loses the ability to distinguish authentic capability from algorithmic fiction, society loses its early warning system for the moment when machines take over truth construction itself.So where does this leave us? That moment may have already arrived. We just don't know it yet—and increasingly, we lack the cognitive infrastructure to find out.But here's what we can still do: We can start by acknowledging we've reached this threshold. We can demand transparency not just in AI algorithms, but in the human processes that evaluate and implement them. We can rebuild evaluation criteria that distinguish between technical capability and marketing narrative.And here's a direct challenge to the marketing and branding professionals reading this: it's time to stop relying on AI algorithms and data optimization to craft your messages. The cybersecurity industry's crisis should serve as a warning—when marketing becomes indistinguishable from algorithmic fiction, everyone loses. Social media has taught us that the most respected brands are those that choose honesty over hype, transparency over clever messaging. Brands that walk the walk and talk the talk, not those that let machines do the talking.The companies that will survive this epistemological crisis are those whose marketing teams become champions of truth rather than architects of confusion. When your audience can no longer distinguish between human insight and machine-generated claims, authentic communication becomes your competitive advantage.Most importantly, we can remember that the goal was never to build machines that think for us, but machines that help us think better.The canary may be struggling to breathe, but it's still singing. The question is whether we're still listening—and whether we remember what fresh air feels like.Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society. Especially now, when the stakes have never been higher, and the consequences of forgetting have never been more real. End of transmission.___________________________________________________________Marco Ciappelli is Co-Founder and CMO of ITSPmagazine, a journalist, creative director, and host of podcasts exploring the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society.

Advanced nanodevices may overcome some of these limitations. This will be illustrated by several advanced nanomedicine platforms: The design of biodegradable doxorubicin-loaded polyalkylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles for the treatment of the multidrug resistant hepatocarcinoma (a nanomedicine with phase III clinical trials ended).The construction of nanoparticles made of metal oxide frameworks (NanoMOFs), a highly hyperporous material obtained by the complexation of iron oxide clusters with diacids.The "squalenoylation", a technology that takes advantage of the squalene's dynamically folded molecular conformation, to link this natural and biocompatible lipid with drug molecules to achieve the spontaneous formation of nanoassemblies (100–300 nm). These squalene-based nanoparticles are using the circulating LDL as "indirect" carriers for targeting cancer cells with high expression of LDL receptors. The application of the "squalenoylation" concept to the treatment of cancer and neurological disorders will be discussed too.Patrick CouvreurPatrick Couvreur is a Professor Emeritus at Université Paris-Saclay and a member of the French Academy of Sciences. He held the Liliane Bettencourt Chair of Technological Innovation at the Collège de France in 2010 and is also a member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF). A world-renowned expert in drug delivery and nanomedicine, his research focuses on the use of nanotechnologies to develop targeted therapies for severe diseases, particularly cancer and central nervous system disorders. He has founded three start-ups, one of which was listed on the stock exchange and led the development of a nanomedicine that reached phase III clinical trials for the treatment of resistant hepatocellular carcinoma. Professor Couvreur is also a member of the French National Academy of Medicine, the Academy of Technologies, and served as President of the French Academy of Pharmacy in 2020. Internationally, he is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, the Royal Academy of Medicine of Belgium, the Royal National Academy of Pharmacy in Spain, and the Japan Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology. He has received numerous prestigious awards both in France and abroad, including the Host Madsen medal, the CNRS Innovation Medal, the Galien Prize, and the European Inventor Award.

My guest today is Eric von Hippel, Professor of Technological Innovation at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Eric is the author of numerous academic articles and books, including Free Innovation, Democratizing Innovation, and The Sources of Innovation, all published by MIT Press and available for free. Eric has accumulated over 90,000 citations on Google Scholar and has received many awards, including the Schumpeter School Prize (2017)—a particularly interesting recognition given his work on non-Schumpeterian innovation.In our conversation, Eric and I explore the role of free innovation in today's economy. Eric highlights some of his favorite examples of free innovation and discusses how, despite being developed at personal cost, it is scaling at an impressive rate. We explore the mechanisms that best enable this scaling—whether through recognition, institutional support, IP protections, or alternative incentives. By the end of this talk, you will understand what free innovation is, how it develops, and how it interacts with producer innovation.You can follow me on X (@⁠ProfSchrepel⁠) and BlueSky (@⁠ProfSchrepel⁠) to receive regular updates.References:Sources of Innovation (1988) https://web.mit.edu/evhippel/www-old/books/sources/SofI.pdfDemocratizing Innovation (2005) https://direct.mit.edu/books/book-pdf/2425023/book_9780262285636.pdfFree Innovation (2016) https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.12657/26044/1004041.pdf

Talking Points from the Newsletter's EditorialCritique of European Commission's Regulatory Actions • The editorial strongly criticizes the European Commission's enforcement of interoperability requirements under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), particularly targeting Apple. It views these measures as an example of governmental overreach into business decisions, arguing that market forces are sufficient to regulate companies like Apple. • Key EU demands include opening iOS features to third-party developers, which Apple claims will hinder innovation and compromise user privacy. • The editorial contrasts this regulatory approach with the organic diffusion of AI technologies, as described by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who likens AI's impact to the transistor—ubiquitous, cheap, and transformative.Technological Innovation vs. Ideological Divides • The editorial highlights a growing ideological divide between progressives and conservatives regarding technology. Progressives are portrayed as skeptical of technological advancements, while conservatives embrace innovation and acceleration. • Jaye Chen's essay on STEM graduates leaning toward conservative ideologies underscores this shift, attributing it to progressives' failure to integrate technical talent into their causes and their tendency to view technology as a problem needing control.Celebration of Recent Tech Achievements • The editorial celebrates notable technological breakthroughs, including: • OpenAI's launch of its high-performance O1-Pro AI model. • BYD's unveiling of EV batteries capable of recharging in five minutes. • Nvidia's announcement of next-generation products that are 100 times faster than current offerings.Introduction of ‘Reflect' App • The editorial introduces a new app called Reflect, designed to help teens privately discuss life challenges. It leverages AI tools such as OpenAI, Perplexity, and Anthropics Claude as conversational partners for emotional support.Advocacy for Market-Driven Innovation • The overarching theme advocates for minimizing government interference in economic and technological decisions. It argues that markets are better equipped to judge corporate failures or successes without regulatory micromanagement This is a public episode.

This philosophical lens is applied to understand the dissonance between human values and the unchecked growth of AI and economic systems.AI as a Management Tool and Existential Threat: Both hosts ponder the future role of AI in society, ranging from its potential to replace human managers with algorithmic oversight to Elon Musk's controversial stance on merging humanity with AI through initiatives like Neuralink.

The Venus Project was started in the 1980s by Jacques Fresco and Roxanne Meadows with the aim of showing that it was possible to lead a more human centered existence… as long as you built outside of the capitalist market system.

My Reflections from ITSPmagazine's Black Hat USA 2024 Coverage: 
The State of Cybersecurity and Its Societal ImpactPrologueEach year, Black Hat serves as a critical touchpoint for the cybersecurity industry—a gathering that offers unparalleled insights into the latest threats, technologies, and strategies that define our collective defense efforts. Established in 1997, Black Hat has grown from a single conference in Las Vegas to a global series of events held in cities like Barcelona, London, and Riyadh. The conference brings together a diverse audience, from hackers and security professionals to executives and non-technical individuals, all united by a shared interest in information security.What sets Black Hat apart is its unique blend of cutting-edge research, hands-on training, and open dialogue between the many stakeholders in the cybersecurity ecosystem. It's a place where corporations, government agencies, and independent researchers converge to exchange ideas and push the boundaries of what's possible in securing our digital world. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, Black Hat remains a vital forum for addressing the challenges and opportunities that come with it.Sean and I engaged in thought-provoking conversations with 27 industry leaders during our coverage of Black Hat USA 2024 in Las Vegas, where the intersection of society and technology was at the forefront. These discussions underscored the urgent need to integrate cybersecurity deeply into our societal framework, not just within business operations. As our digital world grows more complex, the conversations revealed a collective understanding that the true challenge lies in transforming these strategic insights into actions that shape a safer and more resilient society, while also recognizing the changes in how society must adapt to the demands of advancing technology.As I walked through the bustling halls of Black Hat 2024, I was struck by the sheer dynamism of the cybersecurity landscape. The conversations, presentations, and cutting-edge technologies on display painted a vivid picture of where we stand today in our ongoing battle to secure the digital world. More than just a conference, Black Hat serves as a barometer for the state of cybersecurity—a reflection of our collective efforts to protect the systems that have become so integral to our daily lives. The Constant Evolution of ThreatsOne of the most striking observations from Black Hat 2024 is the relentless pace at which cyber threats are evolving. Every year, the threat landscape becomes more complex, with attackers finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities in areas that were once considered secure. This year, it became evident that even the most advanced security measures can be circumvented if organizations become complacent. The need for continuous vigilance, constant updating of security protocols, and a proactive approach to threat detection has never been more critical.The discussions at Black Hat reinforced the idea that we are in a perpetual arms race with cybercriminals. They adapt quickly, leveraging emerging technologies to refine their tactics and launch increasingly sophisticated attacks. As defenders, we must be equally agile, continuously learning and evolving our strategies to stay one step ahead. Integration and Collaboration: Breaking Down SilosAnother key theme at Black Hat 2024 was the importance of breaking down silos within organizations. In an increasingly interconnected world, isolated security measures are no longer sufficient. The traditional boundaries between different teams—whether they be development, operations, or security—are blurring. To effectively combat modern threats, there needs to be seamless integration and collaboration across all departments.This holistic approach to cybersecurity is not just about technology; it's about fostering a culture of communication and cooperation. By aligning the goals and efforts of various teams, organizations can create a unified front against cyber threats. This not only enhances security but also improves efficiency and resilience, allowing for quicker responses to incidents and a more robust defense posture. The Dual Role of AI in CybersecurityArtificial Intelligence (AI) was a major focus at this year's event, and for good reason. AI has the potential to revolutionize cybersecurity, offering new tools and capabilities for threat detection, response, and prevention. However, it also introduces new challenges and risks. As AI systems become more prevalent, they themselves become targets for exploitation. This dual role of AI—both as a tool and a target—was a hot topic of discussion.The consensus at Black Hat was clear: while AI can significantly enhance our ability to protect against threats, we must also be vigilant in securing AI systems themselves. This requires a deep understanding of how these systems operate and where they may be vulnerable. It's a reminder that every technological advancement comes with its own set of risks, and it's our responsibility to anticipate and mitigate those risks as best we can. Empowering Users and Enhancing Digital LiteracyA recurring theme throughout Black Hat 2024 was the need to empower users—not just those in IT or security roles, but everyone who interacts with digital systems. In today's world, cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility. However, many users still lack the knowledge or tools to protect themselves effectively.One of the key takeaways from the event is the importance of enhancing digital literacy. Users must be equipped with the skills and understanding necessary to navigate the digital landscape safely. This goes beyond just knowing how to avoid phishing scams or create strong passwords; it's about fostering a deeper awareness of the risks inherent in our digital lives and how to manage them.Education and awareness campaigns are crucial, but they must be supported by user-friendly security tools that make it easier for people to protect themselves. The goal is to create a security environment where the average user is both informed and empowered, reducing the likelihood of human error and strengthening the overall security posture. A Call for Continuous ImprovementIf there's one thing that Black Hat 2024 made abundantly clear, it's that cybersecurity is a journey, not a destination. The landscape is constantly shifting, and what works today may not be sufficient tomorrow. This requires a commitment to continuous improvement—both in terms of technology and strategy.Organizations must foster a culture of learning, where staying informed about the latest threats and security practices is a priority. This means not only investing in the latest tools and technologies but also in the people who use them. Training, upskilling, and encouraging a mindset of curiosity and adaptability are all essential components of a successful cybersecurity strategy. Looking Ahead: The Future of CybersecurityAs I reflect on the insights and discussions from Black Hat 2024, I'm reminded of the critical role cybersecurity plays in our society. It's not just about protecting data or systems; it's about safeguarding the trust that underpins our digital world. As we look to the future, it's clear that cybersecurity will continue to be a central concern—not just for businesses and governments, but for individuals and communities as well.The challenges we face are significant, but so are the opportunities. By embracing innovation, fostering collaboration, and empowering users, we can build a more secure digital future. It's a future where technology serves humanity, where security is an enabler rather than a barrier, and where we can navigate the complexities of the digital age with confidence.Black Hat 2024 was a powerful reminder of the importance of this work. It's a challenge that requires all of us—security professionals, technologists, and everyday users—to play our part. Together, we can meet the challenges of today and prepare for the threats of tomorrow, ensuring that our digital future is one we can all trust and thrive in.The End ...of this story. This piece of writing represents the peculiar results of an interactive collaboration between Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence._____________________________________Marco Ciappelli is the host of the Redefining Society Podcast, part of the ITSPmagazine Podcast Network—which he co-founded with his good friend Sean Martin—where you may just find some of these topics being discussed.

In the latest episode of the Capitalist Investor, hosts Tony and Luke, alongside guest Mike Hudzinski, a patent attorney and a returning guest, delve into some of the most pressing economic and job market trends of the day. Here are the five hot topics that dominated this week's discussion: 1. The Rise of Public Sector and Healthcare JobsLuke opened the conversation by highlighting a significant trend in the job market: the predominance of public sector and healthcare jobs in recent employment growth statistics. With 50% of new jobs being created in these sectors, the hosts and guest pondered whether this signals an increasing dependency on government-driven employment. The concern was raised that as the government grows, there might be greater outsourcing of jobs, leading to a potential over-reliance on public sector employment.2. Stock Market Indicators and Election ImplicationsTony and Luke transitioned to discussing the stock market as a predictor of election outcomes. Luke shared an intriguing statistic: a smaller intra-year drawdown typically forecasts an incumbent win, while a more significant drawdown suggests a potential loss. The current year's moderate 5-6% drawdown seems to indicate a Biden victory, with AI and Federal Reserve interventions possibly bolstering this scenario. The conversation naturally veered towards the role of major tech stocks in propping up the market.3. Government and Patent RightsAn unexpected but captivating segment arose when Luke inquired whether governments can file patents. Mike shed light on this by explaining that various government departments, like the Navy and Army, do hold patents, often resulting from collaborative efforts with private vendors. This led to a deeper conversation about the implications of government-owned innovation and its potential impact on the public sector job market.4. Artificial Job Inflation and Economic SustainabilityTony voiced his concerns about the current administration's spending practices, suggesting that the trillion-dollar expenditure in the first part of the year is artificially inflating economic indicators, including job numbers. He argued that while this might temporarily sustain the economy, it may not be sustainable in the long run. The notion of "make work" jobs versus legitimate, sustainable employment was explored, with the consensus being that many current jobs might not survive in the long term.5. Technological Innovation and Job DisplacementThe episode concluded with a thought-provoking discussion on the impact of technological advancements on the job market. Luke pointed out that industries such as automotive manufacturing are increasingly shifting towards electric vehicles (EVs), which require fewer parts and thus fewer employees. This trend, coupled with the rise of AI, raises concerns about job displacement. The critical question remains: Will these technological advances create new jobs, or are we approaching a tipping point where innovation leads to permanent job losses?This week's Capitalist Investor episode offered a thorough analysis of the interplay between government policies, stock market trends, technological advancements, and their collective impact on the job market. As always, the insights provided by Tony, Luke, and guest Mike Hudzinski foster a deeper understanding of the evolving economic landscape. Stay tuned for the next episode as the team delves further into the implications of electric vehicles on traditional manufacturing jobs and continuing technological changes.For more detailed discussions and expert opinions, don't forget to subscribe to the Capitalist Investor podcast.

Archaeology is always seen as a field pursuit and for the most part, it is. However the interpretations of archaeology should be accessible to all. Our guests today, Dr. Alessandro Sebastiani and Dr. Laura Morabito presented their thoughts on accessibility in archaeology at the World Archaeology Summit in Alula, Saudi Arabia in September 2023. They discuss things like 3D reconstruction and VR as tools to bring people to archaeological sites and research without physically bringing them there.Contact Chris WebsterTwitter: @archeowebbyEmail: chris@archaeologypodcastnetwork.com Paul ZimmermanTwitter: @lugalEmail: paul@lugal.comArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public Store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/archaeology-podcast-network?ref_id=5724Affiliates Motion: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion Liquid I.V.Ready to shop better hydration, use my special link https://zen.ai/thearchaeologypodnetworkfeed to save 20% off anything you order.

Kevin T. Carter: From Wall Street to Emerging Markets

21st Century Entrepreneurship

Kevin T. Carter is an investment expert with a rich history rooted in the evolution of financial markets and a deep dive into emerging economies. Throughout our conversation, we explored Carter's journey from a fresh college graduate with a keen interest in investment, sparked by the iconic book "A Random Walk Down Wall Street," to a visionary in the field of emerging markets. His early career began in an investment bank, where a casual interview turned into the launchpad for his investment career.Carter shared the profound influence of Burton Malkiel's work on his professional outlook, notably Malkiel's revolutionary idea of index funds which laid the groundwork for Carter's own innovations in investment strategies. "It was just an idea to Burt Malkiel back then," Carter recalls, highlighting the transformative potential of indexing and ETFs which now dominate the investment landscape.The narrative then shifts to Carter's disillusionment with the mutual fund business and his pioneering work in fractional share trading and direct indexing. His collaboration with Malkiel not only refined his investment philosophy but also led to the creation of groundbreaking financial services that democratized stock market access. "We filed a patent on fractional share trading... and now almost every brokerage firm in the world offers fractional share trading," Carter proudly notes, underlining the shift towards more inclusive investment models.Carter's journey took another significant turn with his engagement with Google employees and his eventual focus on emerging markets, particularly China and India. His firsthand experiences with these economies offered him a unique perspective on their potential for growth and innovation. "China's economy was growing at over 10%," he recalls, capturing the dynamism of these regions long before they became focal points for global investors.The discussion delves into the intricacies of emerging market investments, emphasizing the consumer-driven growth in these regions. Carter's approach to investment in emerging markets is not just about recognizing their growth potential but understanding the transformative impact of technology, particularly mobile internet, on these economies. "The second wave was China, right behind us, 2005 to 2020... Now, there's still growth in China, but... the third wave is going to be giant, and it's already happening," he explains, highlighting the ongoing evolution of global market dynamics.Carter's narrative on India's transformation is richly detailed, attributing a significant part of this change to Nandan Nilekani, Infosys' co-founder, who led the Aadhaar program since its inception in 2009. This initiative was a critical move towards digitizing the nation's identity verification processes, issuing a unique twelve-digit identification number linked with biometric data to every citizen. It was a monumental step in addressing the critical lack of formal identification and laid the foundation for the India Stack, an advanced digital infrastructure that facilitated the opening of 800 million digital bank accounts and propelled the country towards financial inclusivity. Coupled with the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system revolutionizing payments—showcasing an 80% shift towards digital transactions with over 12 billion monthly transactions—India's narrative underlines a nation on the cusp of a technological and economic revolution. With a population exceeding 1.4 billion, a vibrant middle class, and a tech talent pool, under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, the country is poised to redefine its global stance, making it a focal point for investors in technology, consumer goods, and fintech sectors.
