In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell and Santosh Sankar unpack the data center boom and the idea of compute as the next utility powering an “industrial renaissance.” They explore how AI models are commoditizing, shifting value to the application layer, and draw historical parallels to industrialists like Rockefeller and Carnegie in terms of capital intensity, vertical integration, and long-lived infrastructure. The discussion dives into the biggest bottleneck (access to energy and grid capacity) along with underwhelming GPU utilization, the need for better observability and efficiency, and trends like prefab “constructuring” in data center construction. They also highlight labor and skills constraints in specialty construction, tools like Record Lens to digitize field operations, and the potential for a Foxconn-style contract manufacturer for electrical equipment. The episode closes on what excites them about founders in this space: deep problem understanding, real industrial pain points, and the ambition to build in the physical economy rather than chasing AI hype. Highlights from their conversation include: Setting up Compute as a New Utility and AI Data Center Boom (0:38) Why Compute Becomes a Utility and Implications for Trillion Dollar Tech (3:50) Drawing Parallels Between AI Infrastructure and the Industrial Revolution (6:56) Capital Intensity, Supply Chains, and Long Lived Industrial Assets (7:50) Financing Data Centers Like Power Plants and Identifying Key Bottlenecks (11:44) Energy Queue, Grid Constraints, and Alternative Generation Opportunities (12:25) Efficiency, Grid Utilization, and Rising Importance of Operational Arbitrage (15:13) Utilization, ROI vs. Dark Capacity, and Lessons from the Dot Com Era (21:23) Constructuring Trend and Prefab Manufacturing for Data Centers (26:16) Record Lens and AI Native Project Management for Grid Scale Construction (29:24) Idea of a Foxconn Model for Electrical Equipment Manufacturing (32:47) Standardization, Certification, and Cyber Risk in Grid Infrastructure (36:22) Founder Traits, Industrial Ambition, and Solving Top Three Customer Problems (38:00) Gold Rush Dynamics, Real Pain Points, and Building in the Physical Economy (41:31) FInal Thoughts and Takeaways (42:42) Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

Fiona Spruill is CEO of Overstory, a company helping electric utilities reduce power outages and wildfire risk using satellite imagery, aerial data, and AI-powered vegetation intelligence. Since joining as employee number 10 and later stepping into the CEO role, Spruill has helped Overstory evolve from a vegetation mapping startup into a resilience platform serving many of North America's largest utilities. In this episode of Inevitable, Spruill explains why vegetation management is one of the largest operating expenses for utilities and how improving grid resilience starts with better risk prioritization—not simply collecting more data. The conversation explores how Overstory combines satellite imagery, computer vision, and customer data to help utilities identify vegetation threats, wildfire fuels, and infrastructure risks before disasters occur. Spruill also discusses selling into the utility industry, the growing importance of resilience as climate risks expand beyond the western U.S., and how the company navigated an extraordinary leadership transition following the loss of co-founder and CEO Indra den Bakker. Note: Overstory is an MCJ portfolio company Episode recorded on July 22, 2026 (Published on August 11, 2026).

In this episode of HFS Unfiltered, Saurabh Gupta, President of HFS Research, is joined by Anuj Krishna, Cofounder and President - Technology & Growth of MathCo, to discuss one of the least understood reasons enterprise AI stalls: the absence of context. The pattern is everywhere. Enterprises have sky-high AI ambitions, yet pilots multiply and almost none reach production, what Saurabh calls “death by a thousand POCs.” In research HFS and MathCo ran together, roughly two-thirds of enterprises admitted they don't know where their knowledge lives; it's trapped in people's heads, undocumented processes, and scattered data. Anuj's argument: organizations obsess over models when the real advantage lies in context, who they are, how they work, and the knowledge behind their decisions. The conversation goes deep on what context actually is, why it can't be static, and who should own it, including the shift toward a federated model with “context stewards” by function. Anuj also lays out how MathCo differs from the platform owners and SIs racing to be “context kings”: rent the tech ecosystem, but own the intelligence, because you can't own your intelligence unless you own your knowledge, and an organization's context is its personality. Saurabh closes with a sharp thesis: models and agents will become a utility, and neither will differentiate you, but context is your identity, and owning it is the only sustainable advantage going forward.

Compromised networks serve fake CAPTCHA and update prompts—like a phony Windows driver repair tool—that trick users into running commands that install remote-access trojans such as "Cornflake." FBI: Water Utilities Under Attack: Hackers targeted water and wastewater systems in at least seven states, exploiting internet-exposed Rockwell/Allen-Bradley PLCs and causing pressure loss and flooding in some systems.  A coordinated attack hit 30+ Minnesota community water systems; officials suspect Iran amid renewed US-Iran military tensions, though no formal attribution has been made. The 2D Barcode "Sunrise": GS1 is pushing a global 2027 transition from traditional 1D UPC barcodes to data-rich 2D codes (QR, Data Matrix) that store expiration dates, batch codes, URLs, and authentication data. The shift promises faster scanning from any angle, better traceability for food and pharma recalls, anti-counterfeiting, and consumer engagement—with emerging 3D laser-etched codes for industrial durability. Your Computer May Demand Your Age: Starting in 2027, California's Digital Age Assurance Act will require operating systems (Windows, macOS, Android, Linux) to collect users' ages at setup and share an age bracket with apps. The EFF warns that in practice, compliance could escalate to ID uploads or facial scans, and that broad laws threaten anonymous computing and small open-source projects like Linux distributions.

Inside the North American Water Utility Hacking Crisis: Iran Links, PLC Tactics, Insurance Fallout, and Volunteer Fixes   This special Cybersecurity Today episode examines the expanding wave of water utility intrusions across North America, including a WIRED-obtained memo linking attacks on Minnesota systems to Iran and a joint FBI/EPA alert reporting activity in at least seven U.S. states targeting internet-exposed Rockwell MicroLogix PLCs by rewriting configurations, altering passwords, and manipulating project files, with effects like loss of pressure, flooding, and tampered operator displays.   It also covers a separate Quebec incident in Saint-Noël shared by "Z Pen Test Alliance," where attackers adjusted chlorine settings and the plant entered safe mode without contamination.   The show reviews competing attributions (Cyber Avengers vs. Hondala), procurement and triage challenges for small utilities, an insurance war game simulating a mass water-sector crisis, concerns about uninsurability and act-of-war exclusions, and the DEF CON Franklin volunteer program helping rural utilities implement basics like password resets, MFA, and incident response plans. 00:00 Sponsor NordLayer 00:37 Deep Dive Setup 01:25 Iran Linked Water Hacks 02:27 Attack Mechanics Impact 03:38 Who Did It 04:13 Canadian Utility Breach 04:54 BSides Lessons Learned 05:51 Insurance War Game 07:59 Uninsurable Risk Fixes 09:00 DEF CON Franklin Volunteers 10:11 Franklin Findings Challenges 11:24 Local Sharing Next Steps 11:55 Wrap Up Listener Notes 12:46 Sponsor NordLayer Again

Text the show! Wildfires are getting worse.Almost everyone agrees on that.But what happens after the agreement?This episode isn't about debating climate change. It's about asking the question almost nobody asks:Now what?After traveling through Montana during one of the worst wildfire smoke events in recent memory, Chad investigates why America has become so good at diagnosing problems—and so bad at implementing solutions.The surprising discovery?The plans already exist.Federal agencies have them.States have them.Scientists have them.The tools work.Controlled burns.Forest thinning.Home hardening.Utility improvements.Real-world examples prove they save forests, homes, and lives.So why aren't they happening at the scale they should?This episode explores the incentives, funding priorities, bureaucracy, media incentives, and political dynamics that reward talking about disasters far more than preventing them.Because common sense says if the risk is increasing......prevention should increase too.

Tell us what you think of the show!  In an era defined by compounding wildfire risks, rapid digitalization, and unprecedented demand growth, utilities need to redefine their playbook. Sumeet Singh, CEO of Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and EVP for Energy Delivery, is doing exactly that for one of the country's largest energy enterprises while both improving local communities and setting an operational benchmark for the wider industry.In this episode of the Factor This podcast, Singh details how utility leaders can balance cultural shifts with the economic imperative to maximize underutilized grid capacity and lower customer rates. He breaks down how PG&E processes billions of pieces of data to help predict wildfire risks in advance, and how AI-enabled camera networks can shave critical minutes off emergency response times. From deploying machine learning to accelerating customer interconnections, Singh details how data amplifies frontline expertise rather than replacing it. Grounded in a philosophy of selfless service and value-based safety ownership, this conversation provides a blueprint for combining innovative technology with engineering discipline to cultivate a community trust that is foundational to the grid of the future.More episodes of Factor This Policycast

1. Saudi Arabia – World's Largest AI HackathonKanz (AI hiring platform) ran an 8-day free event (July 15–22) targeting 100,000 complete beginners — teachers, job seekers, business owners, etc. — with the goal of a Guinness World Record. Participants built real apps/agents using no-code tools (Lovable, n8n, Replit, Magnific, Claude, etc.) and earned certificates plus portfolio projects. Registration surged past 50,000. It builds on prior programs with strong female participation and workforce outcomes. Upshot: AI building no longer requires a coding background; accessible programs are becoming genuine on-ramps.2. California – DROP Data Deletion PlatformThe Delete Act's DROP platform (live Jan 2026) lets California residents submit one request to delete data from ~600 registered data brokers. Identity verification uses California Identity Gateway/Login.gov; identifiers are normalized and hashed so the state never sees or shares raw personal data. Brokers must check every 45 days from Aug 1, 2026, fully delete matches, and report back. Applies to large processors worldwide; heavy fines and future audits. Upshot: A privacy win worth using if you're in California; likely to be copied elsewhere.3. Australia – Origin Energy BreachAustralia's largest energy provider confirmed a breach potentially affecting a large portion of its ~5 million customers (hacker claimed ~2 million). Sensitive PII was leaked online. Utility data heightens risks for identity theft and further infrastructure attacks. Upshot: Change passwords and watch for phishing if affected.4. Anthropic – Claude Opus 5New flagship model launched at $5/$25 per million tokens (half Fable 5's input price), with 1M token context and adjustable “effort” levels. It outperforms or matches its pricier sibling on key benchmarks. Upshot: Forces reevaluation of vendor pricing vs. performance for coding/knowledge work.5. Kimi K3 – Largest Open-Weight ModelMoonshot AI released a 2.8-trillion-parameter model (1.4 TB weights). Within days, it was used to discover dozens of zero-days and build working exploits far faster than before. Fully open weights mean no usage restrictions. Upshot: Major step-change for vulnerability research timelines; treat as a serious new threat-intelligence factor.6. South Korea – 10-Month Diplomatic BreachAttackers accessed the National Diplomatic Academy system undetected from April 2025 to February 2026, stealing data on ~6,000 Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel (including 360 overseas diplomats). Upshot: Dwell time is the bigger issue — invest in better detection.7. Suno Music-AI Breach (Nov 2025)55 million users' names, phones, and addresses exposed; only now public ~8 months later. Upshot: Check Have I Been Pwned; AI company breaches can stay hidden for long periods.8. U.S. – AI Kill Switch ActBipartisan bill (Reps. Lieu & Moran, introduced July 23) requires frontier models (≥$100M training cost) to maintain shutdown/throttling capability. DHS (with Commerce & DNI) could order action for catastrophic risks. Fines up to $20M/day. Predates recent high-profile AI incidents but cites them. Upshot: Frontier developers should assess compliance readiness; some form of this is increasingly likely.

Auckland's Watercare is taking a mixed approach to funding a $15.2 billion capital investment. This includes $4.3 billion for renewals, upgrades to prevent wastewater spills, and lifting the daily flow of drinking water from Waikato River to $300 million by 2033. Watercare CEO Jamie Sinclair says separating from Auckland Council means the utility will need to explore new funding streams to get this through. "We've got to go find our own debt funding, which we've been pretty successful at, I'd have to say, over the last year or so." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mary Kissel observes President Zelenskyy is receiving a warmer reception in Washington due to Ukraine's increasing military leverage.

An art group is using me and some others in an exhibit on inpermenence of life. So, went through a very old school photo shoot. More to come on that later.Then, I slipped in my shower. It was violent and very loud. I broke multiple bones, am bruised in various odd places, and sprained my ankle. My heart also did not like that. I swelled up, and heart rate would hover around 145 and 70 o2 at rest and on oxygen. Had to double it just to chill my heart out.My life is weird.

This lecture discusses key ideas from American philosopher Derick Parfit's book Reasons And Persons, specifically the chapter titled "The Repugnant Conclusion". Specifically it examines he actual "repugnant conclusion" that his extended argument leads to, which is that it would be better to have a population that is very large but in which people's lives would have a very low quality of life, or a low amount of what makes life worth living for them, by comparison to any smaller population where the members would enjoy a better quality of life but have a lower overall sum of happiness or total amount what makes life worth living.

Drs. Chang and Cohen discuss how MRD has become an important tool for assessing how well patients with CLL respond to treatment, beyond what standard blood tests can show. They conclude that although MRD is very useful in research and can help inform conversations with patients, it is not yet clear how or whether it should routinely guide real-world treatment decisions.

If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.volts.wtf/subscribeMost of the energy decisions that touch daily life in America get made in state legislatures, and the people making them are increasingly new to the job. In smaller states, a freshly elected lawmaker gets a pad of paper, no staff, and about 150 lobbyists at the door, then votes on billion-dollar energy budgets in a landscape where the technology changes faster than anyone can track. On this episode of Volts, David Roberts talks with Hawaii state Senator Chris Lee, co-founder of the Electric Innovation Initiative, a bipartisan network betting that education moves electrification faster than mandates: put lawmakers in front of working technology, connect them across state lines, and let affordability carry the argument where climate framing will not. As Lee puts it, "nine times out of ten, people just don't know what they don't know."Chapters:00:00 Introduction03:39 How electrification clicked: the 2008 iPhone moment06:10 The education gap: why the initiative exists11:35 Proxy staff and cross-state validation15:44 What lands on the tours: eVTOL to the data-center win-win20:51 Plain 'electrification': the bipartisan framing bet26:28 Climate hushing and Hawaii's two-track proof30:17 Policy that spreads: e-buses, heat pumps, RFPs37:37 Utility business-model reform: Hawaii's PBR law42:03 Affordability after the federal subsidies45:22 Hawaii under pressure: LNG and the Lahaina grid51:53 State power against federal hostility55:19 The ten-year vision and the closing advice
