We're only six months into Trump 2.0 and things are getting bad fast. He was looking for a fight. And he found it. Unrest in Los Angeles has been met with a mobilization of troops that few predicted. But your host, Paul Rieckhoff, did.  For five years we've been sounding the alarm. Thinking the unthinkable—that has often come true. From COVID, to Trump refusing to leave office, to the January 6th insurrection, to armed violence and now troops in the streets—-this is one episode you can't afford to miss. And in times like these you need to hear from voices of experience, voices of calm, and voices of reason. Barbara Starr is all that and more and she joins Paul for a no bullshit look at where we are—and where we are going. She's a renowned journalist, an Emmy award winning producer, and a former CNN Pentagon correspondent. She spent 21 years reporting from hotspots including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, the Horn of Africa and the Chinese-North Korean border and is one of the most recognizable faces in conflict reporting. She's reported extensively on fallen and wounded troops, as well as the plight of homeless veterans. She's seen and covered it all. She's one of the best in the business and there isn't anybody else we'd rather talk to about all of it.

Thinking eternally- Many of the Pharisees were consumed with following every part of the law because of the fear of man. They were not thinking about the eternal consequences of their actions. Jesus challenged that thinking by telling the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.

Episode 268 - The Beatitudes Is following Jesus just another self-help plan? The Beatitudes flip that idea upside down. This isn't about fixing yourself, it's about letting God meet you in your need. In this episode, the friars unpack how the Beatitudes aren't a checklist for spiritual success, but an invitation to deep dependence on God. They explore how true blessings often look like weakness, surrender, and a poverty of spirit because that's where grace breaks in.  The Poco a Poco podcast happens because of many generous donors, including recurring monthly donations of any amount.

He didn't believe in ghosts—until one summer night changed everything. While returning home with his son, they both watched a shadowy figure silently move from the kitchen to the hallway of their darkened home. Thinking it was one of the kids, they checked—no one was inside. What came next only deepened the mystery: footsteps, rooms found empty, and later, the unmistakable feeling of a finger trailing down his foot in the dead of night. And when a neighbor revealed who had died in the house, the pieces started to fall into place. Was the former owner still walking her halls? This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

Imagine the convenience of grabbing dinner as you walk home from work or powering through the afternoon slump with a stroll around the park. When you live intown, those dreams can be your everyday reality! Derek Turner, owner and president of The Middle Housing Company, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss intown living and his new community, Knight Walk at Howell Station in West Midtown. Intown Living: Connection and Convenience Turner said, “Intown living is increasingly appealing because it offers a lifestyle that's built around convenience and connection.” The idea of walkable living is a major draw for many homebuyers and renters moving to the city. Mixed-use developments are popping up all over the metro area, bringing together restaurants, office spaces, shopping and residential opportunities. Intown living offers this same convenience for residents to walk to work, live near cultural venues and save time in their daily routines. Balancing Affordability in An Urban Climate Turner says creative design is the key to building affordable homes in the city. He starts with a smaller footprint that allows for higher-density housing and a lower cost per unit. Turner emphasizes that, while infrastructure and land costs remain high intown, the demand for walkable living makes it desirable to build there. Which homebuyers are gravitating toward the intown lifestyle? Turner identifies dual-income, millennial couples and higher-earning, single professionals as major buying groups for intown communities. These buyers seek a shorter commute to the city, especially when one or both residents work intown. While the monthly payments are relatively pricey, the savings on gas and time often override the cost. Knight Walk at Howell Station The Middle Housing Company recently opened for sales at its new, intown community, Knight Walk at Howell Station. Located in one of northwest Atlanta's historic neighborhoods, this community is nestled near Westside Paper and the Atlanta Beltline-connected Spur Trail. Knight Park, a historical greenspace, is just minutes from the community. Howell Station is long-renowned for its mixed architectural styles, including bungalows, craftsman-style, Victorian and Colonial revival residences. During the 1800s, it was developed around the Western Atlantic Railroad stop in Atlanta and still displays its industrial roots. “We drew from that architecture,” said Turner. “The brick, the concrete board, the darker palette, some of those industrial tones,” said Turner. “We want it to feel authentic to the neighborhood.” What can homebuyers expect to see at Knight Walk at Howell Station? Every home is an end unit! Instead of building traditional townhomes with four, six or eight units in a row, Turner opted for building townhomes in sets of two residences to maximize natural light and provide ample outdoor living. Each home is 1,400 square feet and boasts 14 windows, creating an open, inviting living space. Residents also enjoy 8-foot-deep covered porches that allow maximum outdoor living with plenty of space for outdoor furniture. “We made zero concessions when it comes to natural light,” said Turner. “It's an amenity here.” Community Influence on Smart Housing Solutions With innovation, discussion and pushback often occur. Turner points out that he appreciates collaboration because it holds him accountable and encourages conversations. When The Middle Housing Company is working to remedy zoning issues or trying to get a project approved by local officials, it approaches those concerns with flexibility and a willingness to meet conditions effectively. Thinking about putting down roots in Atlanta's west side? Tune in to the full episode to learn more about intown living.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, there is so much in the AI world to talk about. One of the things that came out recently that I think is worth discussing, because we can talk about the basics of good prompting as part of it, Katie, is a paper from Apple. Apple’s AI efforts themselves have stalled a bit, showing that reasoning models, when given very complex puzzles—logic-based puzzles or spatial-based puzzles, like moving blocks from stack to stack and getting them in the correct order—hit a wall after a while and then just collapse and can’t do anything. So, the interpretation of the paper is that there are limits to what reasoning models can do and that they can kind of confuse themselves. On LinkedIn and social media and stuff, Christopher S. Penn – 00:52 Of course, people have taken this to the illogical extreme, saying artificial intelligence is stupid, nobody should use it, or artificial general intelligence will never happen. None of that is within the paper. Apple was looking at a very specific, narrow band of reasoning, called deductive reasoning. So what I thought we’d talk about today is the paper itself to a degree—not a ton about it—and then what lessons we can learn from it that will make our own AI practices better. So to start off, when we talk about reasoning, Katie, particularly you as our human expert, what does reasoning mean to the human? Katie Robbert – 01:35 When I think, if you say, “Can you give me a reasonable answer?” or “What is your reason?” Thinking about the different ways that the word is casually thrown around for humans. The way that I think about it is, if you’re looking for a reasonable answer to something, then that means that you are putting the expectation on me that I have done some kind of due diligence and I have gathered some kind of data to then say, “This is the response that I’m going to give you, and here are the justifications as to why.” So I have some sort of a data-backed thinking in terms of why I’ve given you that information. When I think about a reasoning model, Katie Robbert – 02:24 Now, I am not the AI expert on the team, so this is just my, I’ll call it, amateurish understanding of these things. So, a reasoning model, I would imagine, is similar in that you give it a task and it’s, “Okay, I’m going to go ahead and see what I have in my bank of information for this task that you’re asking me about, and then I’m going to do my best to complete the task.” When I hear that there are limitations to reasoning models, I guess my first question for you, Chris, is if these are logic problems—complete this puzzle or unfurl this ball of yarn, kind of a thing, a complex thing that takes some focus. Katie Robbert – 03:13 It’s not that AI can’t do this; computers can do those things. So, I guess what I’m trying to ask is, why can’t these reasoning models do it if computers in general can do those things? Christopher S. Penn – 03:32 So you hit on a really important point. The tasks that are in this reasoning evaluation are deterministic tasks. There’s a right and wrong answer, and what they’re supposed to test is a model’s ability to think through. Can it get to that? So a reasoning model—I think this is a really great opportunity to discuss this. And for those who are listening, this will be available on our YouTube channel. A reasoning model is different from a regular model in that it thinks things through in sort of a first draft. So I’m showing DeepSeq. There’s a button here called DeepThink, which switches models from V3, which is a non-reasoning model, to a reasoning model. So watch what happens. I’m going to type in a very simple question: “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” Katie Robbert – 04:22 And I like how you think that’s a simple question, but that’s been sort of the perplexing question for as long as humans have existed. Christopher S. Penn – 04:32 And what you see here is this little thinking box. This thinking box is the model attempting to solve the question first in a rough draft. And then, if I had closed up, it would say, “Here is the answer.” So, a reasoning model is essentially—we call it, I call it, a hidden first-draft model—where it tries to do a first draft, evaluates its own first draft, and then produces an answer. That’s really all it is. I mean, yes, there’s some mathematics going on behind the scenes that are probably not of use to folks listening to or watching the podcast. But at its core, this is what a reasoning model does. Christopher S. Penn – 05:11 Now, if I were to take the exact same prompt, start a new chat here, and instead of turning off the deep think, what you will see is that thinking box will no longer appear. It will just try to solve it as is. In OpenAI’s ecosystem—the ChatGPT ecosystem—when you pull down that drop-down of the 82 different models that you have a choice from, there are ones that are called non-reasoning models: GPT4O, GPT4.1. And then there are the reasoning models: 0304 mini, 04 mini high, etc. OpenAI has done a great job of making it as difficult as possible to understand which model you should use. But that’s reasoning versus non-reasoning. Google, very interestingly, has moved all of their models to reasoning. Christopher S. Penn – 05:58 So, no matter what version of Gemini you’re using, it is a reasoning model because Google’s opinion is that it creates a better response. So, Apple was specifically testing reasoning models because in most tests—if I go to one of my favorite websites, ArtificialAnalysis.ai, which sort of does a nice roundup of smart models—you’ll notice that reasoning models are here. And if you want to check this out and you’re listening, ArtificialAnalysis.ai is a great benchmark set that wraps up all the other benchmarks together. You can see that the leaderboards for all the major thinking tests are all reasoning models, because that ability for a model to talk things out by itself—really having a conversation with self—leads to much better results. This applies even for something as simple as a blog post, like, “Hey, let’s write a blog post about B2B marketing.” Christopher S. Penn – 06:49 Using a reasoning model will let the model basically do its own first draft, critique itself, and then produce a better result. So that’s what a reasoning model is, and why they’re so important. Katie Robbert – 07:02 But that didn’t really answer my question, though. I mean, I guess maybe it did. And I think this is where someone like me, who isn’t as technically inclined or isn’t in the weeds with this, is struggling to understand. So I understand what you’re saying in terms of what a reasoning model is. A reasoning model, for all intents and purposes, is basically a model that’s going to talk through its responses. I’ve seen this happen in Google Gemini. When I use it, it’s, “Okay, let me see. You’re asking me to do this. Let me see what I have in the memory banks. Do I have enough information? Let me go ahead and give it a shot to answer the question.” That’s basically the synopsis of what you’re going to get in a reasoning model. Katie Robbert – 07:48 But if computers—forget AI for a second—if calculations in general can solve those logic problems that are yes or no, very black and white, deterministic, as you’re saying, why wouldn’t a reasoning model be able to solve a puzzle that only has one answer? Christopher S. Penn – 08:09 For the same reason they can’t do math, because the type of puzzle they’re doing is a spatial reasoning puzzle which requires—it does have a right answer—but generative AI can’t actually think. It is a probabilistic model that predicts based on patterns it’s seen. It’s a pattern-matching model. It’s the world’s most complex next-word prediction machine. And just like mathematics, predicting, working out a spatial reasoning puzzle is not a word problem. You can’t talk it out. You have to be able to visualize in your head, map it—moving things from stack to stack—and then coming up with the right answers. Humans can do this because we have many different kinds of reasoning: spatial reasoning, musical reasoning, speech reasoning, writing reasoning, deductive and inductive and abductive reasoning. Christopher S. Penn – 09:03 And this particular test was testing two of those kinds of reasoning, one of which models can’t do because it’s saying, “Okay, I want a blender to fry my steak.” No matter how hard you try, that blender is never going to pan-fry a steak like a cast iron pan will. The model simply can’t do it. In the same way, it can’t do math. It tries to predict patterns based on what’s been trained on. But if you’ve come up with a novel test that the model has never seen before and is not in its training data, it cannot—it literally cannot—repeat that task because it is outside the domain of language, which is what it’s predicting on. Christopher S. Penn – 09:42 So it’s a deterministic task, but it’s a deterministic task outside of what the model can actually do and has never seen before. Katie Robbert – 09:50 So then, if I am following correctly—which, I’ll be honest, this is a hard one for me to follow the thread of thinking on—if Apple published a paper that large language models can’t do this theoretically, I mean, perhaps my assumption is incorrect. I would think that the minds at Apple would be smarter than collectively, Chris, you and I, and would know this information—that was the wrong task to match with a reasoning model. Therefore, let’s not publish a paper about it. That’s like saying, “I’m going to publish a headline saying that Katie can’t run a five-minute mile; therefore, she’s going to die tomorrow, she’s out of shape.” No, I can’t run a five-minute mile. That’s a fact. I’m not a runner. I’m not physically built for it. Katie Robbert – 10:45 But now you’re publishing some kind of information about it that’s completely fake and getting people in the running industry all kinds of hyped up about it. It’s irresponsible reporting. So, I guess that’s sort of my other question. If the big minds at Apple, who understand AI better than I ever hope to, know that this is the wrong task paired with the wrong model, why are they getting us all worked up about this thing by publishing a paper on it that sounds like it’s totally incorrect? Christopher S. Penn – 11:21 There are some very cynical hot takes on this, mainly that Apple’s own AI implementation was botched so badly that they look like a bunch of losers. We’ll leave that speculation to the speculators on LinkedIn. Fundamentally, if you read the paper—particularly the abstract—one of the things they were trying to test is, “Is it true?” They did not have proof that models couldn’t do this. Even though, yes, if you know language models, you would know this task is not well suited to it in the same way that they’re really not suited to geography. Ask them what the five nearest cities to Boston are, show them a map. They cannot figure that out in the same way that you and I use actual spatial reasoning. Christopher S. Penn – 12:03 They’re going to use other forms of essentially tokenization and prediction to try and get there. But it’s not the same and it won’t give the same answers that you or I will. It’s one of those areas where, yeah, these models are very sophisticated and have a ton of capabilities that you and I don’t have. But this particular test was on something that they can’t do. That’s asking them to do complex math. They cannot do it because it’s not within the capabilities. Katie Robbert – 12:31 But I guess that’s what I don’t understand. If Apple’s reputation aside, if the data scientists at that company knew—they already knew going in—it seems like a big fat waste of time because you already know the answer. You can position it, however, it’s scientific, it’s a hypothesis. We wanted to prove it wasn’t true. Okay, we know it’s not true. Why publish a paper on it and get people all riled up? If it is a PR play to try to save face, to be, “Well, it’s not our implementation that’s bad, it’s AI in general that’s poorly constructed.” Because I would imagine—again, this is a very naive perspective on it. Katie Robbert – 13:15 I don’t know if Apple was trying to create their own or if they were building on top of an existing model and their implementation and integration didn’t work. Therefore, now they’re trying to crap all over all of the other model makers. It seems like a big fat waste of time. When I—if I was the one who was looking at the budget—I’m, “Why do we publish that paper?” We already knew the answer. That was a waste of time and resources. What are we doing? I’m genuinely, again, maybe naive. I’m genuinely confused by this whole thing as to why it exists in the first place. Christopher S. Penn – 13:53 And we don’t have answers. No one from Apple has given us any. However, what I think is useful here for those of us who are working with AI every day is some of the lessons that we can learn from the paper. Number one: the paper, by the way, did not explain particularly well why it thinks models collapsed. It actually did, I think, a very poor job of that. If you’ve worked with generative AI models—particularly local models, which are models that you run on your computer—you might have a better idea of what happened, that these models just collapsed on these reasoning tasks. And it all comes down to one fundamental thing, which is: every time you have an interaction with an AI model, these models are called stateless. They remember nothing. They remember absolutely nothing. Christopher S. Penn – 14:44 So every time you prompt a model, it’s starting over from scratch. I’ll give you an example. We’ll start here. We’ll say, “What’s the best way to cook a steak?” Very simple question. And it’s going to spit out a bunch of text behind the scenes. And I’m showing my screen here for those who are listening. You can see the actual prompt appearing in the text, and then it is generating lots of answers. I’m going to stop that there just for a moment. And now I’m going to ask the same question: “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” Christopher S. Penn – 15:34 The history of the steak question is also part of the prompt. So, I’ve changed conversation. You and I, in a chat or a text—group text, whatever—we would just look at the most recent interactions. AI doesn’t do that. It takes into account everything that is in the conversation. So, the reason why these models collapsed on these tasks is because they were trying to solve it. And when they’re thinking aloud, remember that first draft we showed? All of the first draft language becomes part of the next prompt. So if I said to you, Katie, “Let me give you some directions on how to get to my house.” First, you’re gonna take a right, then you take a left, and then you’re gonna go straight for two miles, and take a right, and then. Christopher S. Penn – 16:12 Oh, wait, no—actually, no, there’s a gas station. Left. No, take a left there. No, take a right there, and then go another two miles. If I give you those instructions, which are full of all these back twists and turns and contradictions, you’re, “Dude, I’m not coming over.” Katie Robbert – 16:26 Yeah, I’m not leaving my house for that. Christopher S. Penn – 16:29 Exactly. Katie Robbert – 16:29 Absolutely not. Christopher S. Penn – 16:31 Absolutely. And that’s what happens when these reasoning models try to reason things out. They fill up their chat with so many contradicting answers as they try to solve the problem that on the next turn, guess what? They have to reprocess everything they’ve talked about. And so they just get lost. Because they’re reading the whole conversation every time as though it was a new conversation. They’re, “I don’t know what’s going on.” You said, “Go left,” but they said, “Go right.” And so they get lost. So here’s the key thing to remember when you’re working with any generative AI tool: you want to keep as much relevant stuff in the conversation as possible and remove or eliminate irrelevant stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 17:16 So it’s a really bad idea, for example, to have a chat where you’re saying, “Let’s write a blog post about B2B marketing.” And then say, “Oh, I need to come up with an ideal customer profile.” Because all the stuff that was in the first part about your B2B marketing blog post is now in the conversation about the ICP. And so you’re polluting it with a less relevant piece of text. So, there are a couple rules. Number one: try to keep each chat distinct to a specific task. I’m writing a blog post in the chat. Oh, I want to work on an ICP. Start a new chat. Start a new chat. And two: if you have a tool that allows you to do it, never say, “Forget what I said previously. And do this instead.” It doesn’t work. Instead, delete if you can, the stuff that was wrong so that it’s not in the conversation history anymore. Katie Robbert – 18:05 So, basically, you have to put blinders on your horse to keep it from getting distracted. Christopher S. Penn – 18:09 Exactly. Katie Robbert – 18:13 Why isn’t this more common knowledge in terms of how to use generative AI correctly or a reasoning model versus a non-reasoning model? I mean, again, I look at it from a perspective of someone who’s barely scratching the surface of keeping up with what’s happening, and it feels—I understand when people say it feels overwhelming. I feel like I’m falling behind. I get that because yes, there’s a lot that I can do and teach and educate about generative AI, but when you start to get into this kind of minutiae—if someone opened up their ChatGPT account and said, “Which model should I use?”—I would probably look like a deer in headlights. I’d be, “I don’t know.” I’d probably. Katie Robbert – 19:04 What I would probably do is buy myself some time and start with, “What’s the problem you’re trying to solve? What is it you’re trying to do?” while in the background, I’m Googling for it because I feel this changes so quickly that unless you’re a power user, you have no idea. It tells you at a basic level: “Good for writing, great for quick coding.” But O3 uses advanced reasoning. That doesn’t tell me what I need to know. O4 mini high—by the way, they need to get a brand specialist in there. Great at coding and visual learning. But GPT 4.1 is also great for coding. Christopher S. Penn – 19:56 Yes, of all the major providers, OpenAI is the most incoherent. Katie Robbert – 20:00 It’s making my eye twitch looking at this. And I’m, “I just want the model to interpret the really weird dream I had last night. Which one am I supposed to pick?” Christopher S. Penn – 20:10 Exactly. So, to your answer, why isn’t this more common? It’s because this is the experience almost everybody has with generative AI. What they don’t experience is this: where you’re looking at the underpinnings. You’ve opened up the hood, and you’re looking under the hood and going, “Oh, that’s what’s going on inside.” And because no one except for the nerds have this experience—which is the bare metal looking behind the scenes—you don’t understand the mechanism of why something works. And because of that, you don’t know how to tune it for maximum performance, and you don’t know these relatively straightforward concepts that are hidden because the tech providers, somewhat sensibly, have put away all the complexity that you might want to use to tune it. Christopher S. Penn – 21:06 They just want people to use it and not get overwhelmed by an interface that looks like a 747 cockpit. That oversimplification makes these tools harder to use to get great results out of, because you don’t know when you’re doing something that is running contrary to what the tool can actually do, like saying, “Forget previous instructions, do this now.” Yes, the reasoning models can try and accommodate that, but at the end of the day, it’s still in the chat, it’s still in the memory, which means that every time that you add a new line to the chat, it’s having to reprocess the entire thing. So, I understand from a user experience why they’ve oversimplified it, but they’ve also done an absolutely horrible job of documenting best practices. They’ve also done a horrible job of naming these things. Christopher S. Penn – 21:57 Ironically, of all those model names, O3 is the best model to use. Be, “What about 04? That’s a number higher.” No, it’s not as good. “Let’s use 4.” I saw somebody saying, “GPT 401 is a bigger number than 03.” So 4:1 is a better model. No, it’s not. Katie Robbert – 22:15 But that’s the thing. To someone who isn’t on the OpenAI team, we don’t know that. It’s giving me flashbacks and PTSD from when I used to manage a software development team, which I’ve talked about many times. And one of the unimportant, important arguments we used to have all the time was version numbers. So, every time we released a new version of the product we were building, we would do a version number along with release notes. And the release notes, for those who don’t know, were basically the quick: “Here’s what happened, here’s what’s new in this version.” And I gave them a very clear map of version numbers to use. Every time we do a release, the number would increase by whatever thing, so it would go sequentially. Katie Robbert – 23:11 What ended up happening, unsurprisingly, is that they didn’t listen to me and they released whatever number the software randomly kicked out. Where I was, “Okay, so version 1 is the CD-ROM. Version 2 is the desktop version. Versions 3 and 4 are the online versions that don’t have an additional software component. But yet, within those, okay, so CD-ROM, if it’s version one, okay, update version 1.2, and so on and so forth.” There was a whole reasoning to these number systems, and they were, “Okay, great, so version 0.05697Q.” And I was, “What does that even mean?” And they were, “Oh, well, that’s just what the system spit out.” I’m, “That’s not helpful.” And they weren’t thinking about it from the end user perspective, which is why I was there. Katie Robbert – 24:04 And to them that was a waste of time. They’re, “Oh, well, no one’s ever going to look at those version numbers. Nobody cares. They don’t need to understand them.” But what we’re seeing now is, yeah, people do. Now we need to understand what those model numbers mean. And so to a casual user—really, anyone, quite honestly—a bigger number means a newer model. Therefore, that must be the best one. That’s not an irrational way to be looking at those model numbers. So why are we the ones who are wrong? I’m getting very fired up about this because I’m frustrated, because they’re making it so hard for me to understand as a user. Therefore, I’m frustrated. And they are the ones who are making me feel like I’m falling behind even though I’m not. They’re just making it impossible to understand. Christopher S. Penn – 24:59 Yes. And that, because technical people are making products without consulting a product manager or UI/UX designer—literally anybody who can make a product accessible to the marketplace. A lot of these companies are just releasing bare metal engines and then expecting you to figure out the rest of the car. That’s fundamentally what’s happening. And that’s one of the reasons I think I wanted to talk through this stuff about the Apple paper today on the show. Because once we understand how reasoning models actually work—that they’re doing their own first drafts and the fundamental mechanisms behind the scenes—the reasoning model is not architecturally substantially different from a non-reasoning model. They’re all just word-prediction machines at the end of the day. Christopher S. Penn – 25:46 And so, if we take the four key lessons from this episode, these are the things that will help: delete irrelevant stuff whenever you can. Start over frequently. So, start a new chat frequently, do one task at a time, and then start a new chat. Don’t keep a long-running chat of everything. And there is no such thing as, “Pay no attention to the previous stuff,” because we all know it’s always in the conversation, and the whole thing is always being repeated. So if you follow those basic rules, plus in general, use a reasoning model unless you have a specific reason not to—because they’re generally better, which is what we saw with the ArtificialAnalysis.ai data—those five things will help you get better performance out of any AI tool. Katie Robbert – 26:38 Ironically, I feel the more AI evolves, the more you have to think about your interactions with humans. So, for example, if I’m talking to you, Chris, and I say, “Here are the five things I’m thinking about, but here’s the one thing I want you to focus on.” You’re, “What about the other four things?” Because maybe the other four things are of more interest to you than the one thing. And how often do we see this trope in movies where someone says, “Okay, there’s a guy over there.” “Don’t look. I said, “Don’t look.”” Don’t call attention to it if you don’t want someone to look at the thing. I feel more and more we are just—we need to know how to deal with humans. Katie Robbert – 27:22 Therefore, we can deal with AI because AI being built by humans is becoming easily distracted. So, don’t call attention to the shiny object and say, “Hey, see the shiny object right here? Don’t look at it.” What is the old, telling someone, “Don’t think of purple cows.” Christopher S. Penn – 27:41 Exactly. Katie Robbert – 27:41 And all. Christopher S. Penn – 27:42 You don’t think. Katie Robbert – 27:43 Yeah. That’s all I can think of now. And I’ve totally lost the plot of what you were actually talking about. If you don’t want your AI to be distracted, like you’re human, then don’t distract it. Put the blinders on. Christopher S. Penn – 27:57 Exactly. We say this, we’ve said this in our courses and our livestreams and podcasts and everything. Treat these things like the world’s smartest, most forgetful interns. Katie Robbert – 28:06 You would never easily distract it. Christopher S. Penn – 28:09 Yes. And an intern with ADHD. You would never give an intern 22 tasks at the same time. That’s just a recipe for disaster. You say, “Here’s the one task I want you to do. Here’s all the information you need to do it. I’m not going to give you anything that doesn’t relate to this task.” Go and do this task. And you will have success with the human and you will have success with the machine. Katie Robbert – 28:30 It’s like when I ask you to answer two questions and you only answer one, and I have to go back and re-ask the first question. It’s very much like dealing with people. In order to get good results, you have to meet the person where they are. So, if you’re getting frustrated with the other person, you need to look at what you’re doing and saying, “Am I overcomplicating it? Am I giving them more than they can handle?” And the same is true of machines. I think our expectation of what machines can do is wildly overestimated at this stage. Christopher S.

Apple's latest AI research paper, "The Illusion of Thinking," argues that large language models aren't genuinely reasoning but just pattern-matching. But does it even matter? Today, Nathaniel breaks down the controversy, debunks some misleading conclusions about reasoning limits, and explains why the business world cares less about semantics and more about capabilities. Whether it's "real reasoning" or not, these tools are transforming work—and Apple's academic skepticism doesn't change that.Get Ad Free AI Daily Brief: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/AIDailyBrief⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brought to you by:KPMG – Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kpmg.com/ai⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more about how KPMG can help you drive value with our AI solutions.Blitzy.com - Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blitzy.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to build enterprise software in days, not months AGNTCY - The AGNTCY is an open-source collective dedicated to building the Internet of Agents, enabling AI agents to communicate and collaborate seamlessly across frameworks.

Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour talking more about last night's game, and some of the late inning mistakes the Padres made, including Luis Arraez swinging first pitch when Fernando Tatis Jr was trying to steal 2nd base. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we hear some pregame comments from Mike Shildt who gave an injury update on Michael King, and it didn't sound particularly good. Listen here!

What if the real glow-up in midlife has nothing to do with wrinkle creams—and everything to do with finally showing up unapologetically as yourself?Meet Sherri Dindal, better known as The Real Slim Sherri—the blue-haired, tattooed, profanity-positive powerhouse who's become a viral voice for women over 40. With over 5 million followers, Sherri's raw, hilarious, and brutally honest takes on menopause, midlife identity shifts, and societal invisibility have struck a nerve—and built a movement.After 26 years in a male-dominated investigative career, Sherri walked away with no backup plan. What followed? A wildly successful boutique, a clean skincare brand tailored for menopausal skin (Wholesome Hippie), and an accidental TikTok empire born out of a post-COVID haze. Oh—and now she's headlining sold-out comedy shows across the country on her Gen X Takeover Tour.She never planned this life. She never thought she was funny. And she definitely never expected midlife to be the beginning of everything.From parenting through “second puberty” (ahem, menopause), to the sacred ritual of quiet mornings with coffee, Sherri's message is refreshingly clear:

The Gate | June 8, 2025Pastor Wes Morris John 10:1-10 (NIV) Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.✓ OFTENTIMES WE CONFUSE GOD'S PROTECTION WITH RESTRICTION.  ✓ WE LIKE THE IDEA OF CONTROL MORE THAN THE POWER OF SURRENDER. ✓ WE ALLOW GATES FROM OUR PAST TO REMAIN OPEN. I Peter 5:8 (NLT) Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. John 10:10 (NIV) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. THE GATE I. KNOW HIS VOICE.John 10:3-4 (MSG) The shepherd walks right up to the gate. The gatekeeper opens the gate to him and the sheep recognize his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he gets them all out, he leads them and they follow because they are familiar with his voice.Isaiah 43:1 (NLT) Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name; you are mine.John 20:14-16 (NIV) She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”Jesus said to her, “Mary.”She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” II. TRUST HIS PROTECTION.Psalm 91:1-2 (NLT) Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.Psalm 23:4 (GNT) Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, Lord, for you are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me. III. WALK IN HIS FREEDOM.John 10:9 (NIV) I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. Proverbs 18:10 (NIV) The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
