Send Wilk a text with your feedback! (incoming msgs only - I can't reply) Dialog Lab is a new app built on a simple premise: most people want to talk to someone who disagrees with them, they just don't know where to find that person, or they're afraid of what it might cost them. The app matches users with someone who sees a topic differently, lets the conversation happen asynchronously over messaging instead of demanding a scheduled call, and uses AI moderation that blocks abuse without ever weighing in on who's right.The app grew out of founder Spencer Frank's own experience. A year ago, the same week Charlie Kirk was assassinated, Spencer realized he'd never actually had a real conversation with anyone who supported Kirk's views — despite having people like that in his own life. He found Braver Angels' one-on-one matching program — full disclosure, the organization Wilk works for — and used it himself. It worked, but it was slow. That gap became the seed for Dialog Lab.Spencer and Wilk dig into the design choices behind the app: why conversations are anonymous but verified, why there's no audience, no likes, and no upvotes to reward saying something inflammatory, and how the AI moderator draws the line between a heated opinion and an abusive one. One story from the platform stands out — an Iranian-American user who supported U.S. intervention in Iran, afraid to even say so in his own community, found someone on Dialog Lab willing to actually hear him out. Being heard, he told Spencer, changed how he felt about speaking up at all — which is the whole premise of what the app is trying to do.Key Themes•       The barrier to dialogue is rarely desire — it's access and risk. People want these conversations; what stops them is not knowing where to find someone, or fearing what it might cost them with friends, family, or their job.•       Removing the audience changes the conversation. No likes, no upvotes, no one watching — Dialog Lab is built on the idea that the incentive to perform is what makes online disagreement ugly.•       Anonymity can lower the wall without removing accountability. Verified users and an AI moderator that blocks abuse — not disagreement — let people speak freely without the platform turning into a free-for-all.•       Dialogue is a first step, not the finish line. Dialog Lab is framed as a way to rebuild the civic muscle for harder work down the line — in-person meetings, community involvement, actually working across difference.Takeaways•       You don't need a scheduled Zoom call or an in-person meetup to start. Dialog Lab is built for conversations that happen in ten-minute windows, spread across days.•       The AI moderator doesn't referee opinions — it blocks abuse and flags personal labels, but it lets people actually disagree.•       Dialog Lab launches on the App Store September 24th.

His engineering career goes back to 2009, when he was still an intern; he earned his PhD in mechanical engineering in 2017 and spent the following eight years in the medical device industry before leaving, a year ago, to build Dialog Lab full-time.Learn more about and connect with Spencer:Website: joindialoglab.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencertfrank/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joindialoglab/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61593210993278AllSides Student Journalism Award application process is open now!AllSides, a national leader in balanced news and media bias ratings, is awarding three students with Five Hundred Dollars for reporting on all sides of an issue.

These sources examine the evolving integration of artificial intelligence in investigative journalism, specifically focusing on how digital tools enhance data analysis and fact-checking. Research from the Center for News, Technology & Innovation highlights that while AI can streamline document processing and pattern recognition, its adoption is hindered by technical expertise gaps, economic constraints, and linguistic barriers. Reports from ERAIfurther categorize specialized verification software, such as InVID and Full Fact AI, which help reporters identify deepfakes and monitor political speech during elections. Despite these technological advancements, all sources emphasize that human editorial judgment remains essential for providing context and maintaining journalistic integrity. Ultimately, AI serves as a force multiplier that supports time-consuming tasks but cannot replace the critical, nuanced role of experienced human investigators.

Brad begins with an update from the WCROC dairy, where corn silage harvest is complete, fall calving is underway, and new Angus and beef-on-dairy calves are arriving.The episode then examines a six-year study of approximately 1,300 Holstein bull calves purchased through Wisconsin livestock auctions. Researchers measured serum total protein to evaluate whether the calves had received adequate immunity from colostrum. More than 70% of the calves were classified in the poor or fair categories, while only 16% reached the excellent benchmark. Calves with poor passive immunity were nearly 12 times more likely to die than calves with excellent serum total protein levels.Brad discusses why male dairy and beef-on-dairy calves should receive the same high-quality colostrum management as replacement heifers. He also explores how serum total protein testing—using a simple blood sample and refractometer—could help farms evaluate their colostrum programs and give calf buyers better information. Verified colostrum management could reduce calf mortality, reward dairy producers for raising healthier calves, and create greater value throughout the beef-on-dairy supply chain.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory 

Matt and Michael open with a meditation on digital trust in an age of voice cloning and AI impersonation. Then things get interesting. A Napoleon quote about Christ's empire of love launches them into a deep exploration of certainty, faith, and identity. They wrestle with the difference between certainty and certitude, the paradox of being certain of what we do not see, and why awareness itself can undermine confidence. The conversation builds toward a profound discussion of how Christ's reality transcends time and space, and what it means to be called not just to follow him, but to become him. Cheers y'all

Send us Fan MailHow to record in-kind donations for nonprofits is more than an accounting question . . .it reveals what programs truly cost and how much support the community contributes! Justine Townsend, Manager at Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC), explains how to value, document, report, and steward noncash gifts without distorting the books.Donated office space, food, equipment, vehicles, program supplies, graphic design, and certain professional services can represent significant organizational support. If a nonprofit would otherwise need to purchase the item or service, failing to record it may understate both revenue and expenses, and conceal the real cost of delivering the mission.Fair market value is where things become complicated. Food banks may use published food valuations, while donated office space may require comparisons with similar local properties. Donor estimates also deserve scrutiny. Justine recalls an advertising contribution valued at approximately $1 million (enough to nearly double one organization's reported annual revenue) before the valuation methodology was challenged.“The finances are just our story told in a different way,” Justine explains. Accurate records support more than audits and Form 990 reporting. They strengthen budgeting, donor stewardship, vendor relationships, fundraising communications, and financial planning.The conversation also exposes a frequent operational failure: development teams negotiate in-kind support, but finance learns about it late—or not at all. A clear gift acceptance policy can establish what the nonprofit will accept, who approves unusual contributions, when appraisals or additional forms are needed, and whether the organization can actually use or sell the donated property.Volunteer support deserves attention too. Verified volunteer hours may support audit-note disclosures and show funders the depth of community participation. As Justine says, in-kind support helps tell “the story of how much the community loves, supports, needs and wants what you're doing.”Key Takeaways:Record qualifying in-kind revenue and its corresponding expense.Use supportable market evidence—not an unquestioned donor estimate.Describe donated property on acknowledgments without assigning its tax value.Create a separate receipt process for noncash contributions.Connect development, finance, and donor stewardship before accepting gifts.Budget for donated resources so leaders understand replacement costs.00:00:00 Why In-Kind Donations Really Count00:02:13 What Qualifies as an In-Kind Donation?00:04:00 When Donated Services Can Be Recorded00:04:37 Valuing Free or Discounted Office Space00:06:16 Who Determines Fair Market Value?00:08:32 Event Discounts, Goods and Professional Services00:10:21 Reporting, Stewardship and Form 99000:13:34 Fixing the Finance–Development Disconnect00:14:43 Tracking Volunteer Hours and Their Value00:17:19 Valuation Mistakes and Gift Acceptance Policies00:22:53 The Cost of Not Recording In-Kind Gifts00:25:14 What Belongs on the Donor Receipt#NonprofitFinance #InKindDonations #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

This week on Limited Supply, we're bringing you a special crossover episode. Nik recently sat down with David Vanderveen and Peter Griskum from Verified, The Social Commerce Podcast, and the conversation was too good not to share here too. They get into what is actually working in social commerce right now, starting with the Hudson method: building a network of thousands of micro creators who each represent a specific persona, so the brand gets a constant stream of content without ever running its own production. Nik breaks down how AI has changed the economics of creative, from landing pages built in Codex or Claude Code and shipped in 30 minutes, to why creative costs have collapsed while Meta's ad costs keep climbing. He also digs into the difference between celebrity brands that work and the ones that flop (hint: it usually comes down to team, product, and whether the celebrity actually shows up). If you want to see the ad swipe file Nik mentions, head over to ads.nik.co to check that out.

On this episode of The Broker Link, host Mike Smith sits down with Jonas Roeser, CEO of AgentReview.net, to discuss why building a trusted and verified online identity is becoming increasingly important for insurance agents. As consumers turn to AI and online search to find insurance professionals, Jonas explains how agents can establish their digital presence and protect their professional identity. He describes AgentReview.net as a trusted platform designed specifically for insurance agents—helping consumers find and verify agents, much like other industries have platforms such as Zillow and Avvo. Jonas also breaks down the platform's different options, from a free agent listing to paid tiers and the verified agent program, which includes ongoing third-party verification. The conversation highlights the growing importance of protecting agents from identity fraud while making it easier for consumers—and increasingly, AI—to recognize legitimate professionals. Mike and Jonas also discuss the Brokerage Bucks program, which reimburses eligible agents who join AgentReview.net.

“Software can't fake physics.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast recorded at Alianza Navigate 2026, James Lee, CEO of Inlayer, discusses how the company is evolving beyond Phonism and building a new trust layer for communications in an era of AI-driven fraud. Inlayer owns Phonism, known for SIP device management and security. Lee says the company is now expanding into compliance automation, helping service providers address requirements such as KYC and E911 while creating new verified communication services. The core idea is simple: prove that a real human is present before a sensitive communication begins. Inlayer is developing patented “tap-to-prove” endpoints that work similarly to tap-to-pay. A user physically taps an unlocked phone against a card, sticker or other assigned endpoint, creating cryptographic proof of presence. “That physical act adds another form of human-factor authentication,” Lee says. “Software can't fake physics.” The system can also collect identity and, with consent, location information before creating a trust token that can be passed to the communications provider. Lee says the need is growing rapidly as AI makes synthetic voice, deepfake video and automated fraud easier and cheaper to produce at scale. Rather than trying to detect fraud after it occurs, Inlayer wants service providers to block unverified traffic before a call, message or online session begins. That creates a potential new revenue opportunity for UCaaS, CCaaS, CPaaS and voice providers by allowing them to offer premium verified-human communications. The company is also building what Lee calls a broader “trust stack,” combining verified presence, identity, consent and immutable records based on vCon standards. Those records could include verified participants, recordings, transcripts, documents, votes and other elements of a communication that may later need to be audited or defended in court. Inlayer is currently looking for development partners, communications providers and enterprises interested in testing the technology and helping bring verified-human communications to market.

Real-time payments are finally delivering what everyone asked for: near-instant settlement. But when the buffer disappears, a new risk takes center stage: not “was the credential valid,” but “did the actor have authority to create the obligation.” Greg Myers sits down with Jeremy Blackburn, founder and CEO of ChainIT, to unpack why authority verification may become the most important layer in modern payments, especially as AI agents start initiating transactions on behalf of people and businesses. We talk through ChainIT's approach to zero-trust commerce, including biometric authentication, verifying identity and organizational roles through authoritative sources, and turning those verified claims into reusable digital tokens. Jeremy explains the difference between traditional network authorization and governance-derived authority, plus how transaction guardrails can be enforced at the moment of execution. We also dig into what “complete commerce” looks like when agreements, compliance, and payment movement happen as one governed workflow. You'll hear practical examples like construction draws and insurance claims, where verification, conditional lien releases, and AML checks often drag on for days. We also zoom out to the biggest payments industry trends: RTP and FedNow, stablecoin and programmable money, agentic commerce, and why quantum security is already on the horizon for cryptographic infrastructure. If you care about fraud prevention, compliance, and the future of enterprise payments, this is the conversation to bring back to your team.

Recovered MacBook, Client Trust, and Preparing for Rosetta 2's Phaseout In this episode of Command Control Power, Sam and Joe discuss being short-staffed while covering client onboarding and ticket work, and how client relationships shift when a different technician becomes the main contact. Joe recounts a new small boutique client raising concerns about him having passwords, leading to credential changes and enabling MFA, plus a quick non-technical win fixing a poorly positioned VoIP phone stand. They address HomePod/Apple Music use in a business and disabling personal content requests, suggesting services like Spotify instead. Joe shares a case where a "stolen" MacBook Air was recovered via Delta's lost-and-found because his MDM login window message showed company contact info; he used Adigy monitoring to track online status and IP changes, then arranged an Apple trade-in-value credit path for the recovered device. They close with upcoming macOS 28 changes: Rosetta 2 removal and loss of support for encrypted HFS+ volumes, recommending reporting to identify Intel apps and demonstrating MDM value to clients. 00:00 Cold Open And Introductions 00:17 Covering For Matt 01:31 Client Handoffs And Trust 04:49 Passwords And MFA Talk 06:55 The VoIP Phone Fix 08:13 HomePods In The Office 13:34 Small Biz Vs Enterprise Vibes 15:38 Adequate Survey And Anonymity 18:09 Music Tangent And Genre Debates 23:25 Back To Tech Teaser 23:33 Stolen Mac Recovery 24:23 Lost Device Monitoring 25:31 Delta Lost and Found Lead 30:15 Laptop Returned and Verified 30:36 Lock Screen Message Win 32:35 Trade In or Resell 35:29 Refurbish and Alerts Trigger 36:09 Flex Policy Breakdown 39:02 Lock Screen Serial Tips 41:20 Rosetta and HFS Changes 46:53 MDM Reporting Value 49:59 Wrap Up and Next Episode

Matt Covington, Senior Vice President of Product at BlackCloak, says the feature exists because CISOs kept asking the same question. Can you help us manage this influx of deepfake media, whether it arrives by email, video, or voicemail. The requests that follow are familiar. Change the billing information on a vendor. Wire me $5,000 to bail me out of jail. Rather than sitting in line with every communication to judge whether a piece of video or audio is fake, BlackCloak gives people a way to establish the authenticity of the message and the sender. Matt Covington walks through it on camera. A suspicious guest joins a Zoom call under a familiar name, camera off. He opens the app, creates a request, selects the medium, adds context, and submits. Biometrics confirm the device owner. The response comes back with identity confirmed and location attached, and the app keeps an audit trail. The news this week is who can be in the circle. A BlackCloak member can invite as many people as they want to connect as part of their trusted network. Personal lawyer, private banker, childcare, dog walker. Matt Covington describes a message arriving on vacation, claiming to be the dog walker and asking for $5,000 for an emergency vet bill, and confirms that scenario is a real thing that has happened. Tracey Moon, Chief Marketing Officer at BlackCloak, joins for the demo. This is a Brand Spotlight.

AI can now reproduce a person's face, voice, movement, and likeness with increasing realism. The bigger question is becoming: Who gets to control that identity, authorize its use, and potentially get paid when it has commercial value? In Episode #684 of the New Media Show,  Host Rob Greenlee talks with Anne Kavanagh, co-founder of Royall.ai, about building a new permission and licensing layer around human identity. The conversation is not about stopping or being anti-AI. It is about establishing something that has largely been missing: proof and authorization before use. Your Identity Becomes an Asset You Control Royall.ai is developing what Anne describes as a biometric vault where people can register elements of their identity, including voice, face, likeness, and body motion. Those assets can be fingerprinted and watermarked, creating the foundation for detecting use, approving or rejecting it, and potentially licensing it commercially. That changes the discussion from simply asking whether AI can clone someone to asking whether the person actually gave permission. A creator could potentially say: Use my voice for this campaign, but only for six months. Allow my likeness to be used to train this model, but pay me. Do not use my identity for this purpose at all. The central principle is simple: You own you. Protection and Opportunity The same technology designed to identify unauthorized use could also create legitimate new markets for human identity. Anne describes a future where AI companies, studios, agencies, platforms, and brands could license verified human data rather than simply collecting material from the public internet. Creators could choose whether their voice, face, movement, or content can be used for AI training and receive compensation when they opt in. This becomes especially important as synthetic media becomes indistinguishable from human media. Rob also raises another possibility: as AI-generated content becomes abundant, verified or certified human-created content may itself become more valuable. Podcast Archives Create Another Rights Problem The discussion gets particularly relevant to podcasting. A podcast owner may control thousands of hours of archived conversations, but that does not necessarily mean the owner has the right to license every guest's voice for AI training. Rob explains that the New Media Show archive has previously attracted interest for conversational AI training, but licensing complete conversations would require permission from the guests whose voices appear in them. Royall.ai is exploring infrastructure that could help identify those participants, request consent, manage permissions, and create licensing transactions across large content libraries. That could become a significant issue as decades of podcast, video, music, and creator archives become valuable training material. Discussion Highlights – Who should control your voice, face, and digital likeness – Creating a biometric identity vault – Consent before AI use – Detecting unauthorized likeness and voice usage – Licensing human identity for AI training – Getting creators paid for authorized use – Deepfakes, scams, and identity theft – Why trust is critical to biometric infrastructure – AI disclosure versus AI-assisted creation – The rise of verified human-created media – Creator contracts and synthetic likeness rights – Licensing podcast archives for AI training – Why guest consent matters – Royall.ai as an identity and permission API layer Chapter Timestamp Markers 00:00 Who controls your likeness and voice identity? 03:00 Introducing Anne Kavanagh and Royall.ai 07:00 How the idea behind Royall.ai developed 09:00 Verified identity, authorization and licensing 10:00 Creating a biometric vault for voice, face and motion 18:00 Detection, reporting and takedown tools 20:00 Opting into AI training and getting paid 24:00 Building a training-grade voice model 28:00 Identity protection becomes an economic opportunity 34:00 Why this is a human issue, not just a creator issue 38:00 Deepfakes, students, scams and identity theft 40:00 The trust challenge of storing biometric identity 43:00 Building a registrar for human identity and likeness 45:00 Royall.ai as part of the technology stack 48:00 The principle: You own you 53:00 AI tools, disclosure and audience trust 59:00 Could certified human content become premium? 01:02:00 Synthetic podcast hosts and transparency 01:04:00 Creator contracts and consent for AI training 01:05:00 Licensing podcast archives and guest voices 01:08:00 Who controls your existing content libraries? 01:11:00 How Royall.ai early access works 01:14:00 Public images, copyright and identity ownership Anne Kavanagh Guest Links Royall.ai is currently onboarding users through an early-access process, with registration, fingerprinting, watermarking, detection capabilities, and enterprise/API integrations discussed toward the end of the episode.

The identity and access model built for human users starts to break the moment an autonomous agent acts on someone's behalf, because an agent cannot be authenticated the way a person is. Rosalyn Curato, Chief Innovation Officer and General Manager of Agentic Security at Vouched, makes the case that an autonomous agent should never be an anonymous one, and that trust starts with verifying the agent and tying it to a known human. Her framing reduces to three questions every organization should be able to answer about an agent: who it is, which human it belongs to and what it has been given permission to do.  From there the conversation turns to what breaks without that binding. Curato covers rogue agents, the risk of handing an agent too much access and the fraud and liability costs that organizations are already forecasting. She and hosts Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepher work through the controls that answer it, including delegated permissions, immutable audit trails, kill switches and the KYA-OS open standard that Vouched donated to the Decentralized Identity Foundation.

Robin Williams Is Back Online and It Is About AIRobin Williams' Instagram posted for the first time in 12 years, and his kids Zak, Zelda and Cody also launched Facebook, TikTok and YouTube accounts in his name. Zelda framed it plainly on her own Instagram: this is the best tool the family has for fighting AI recreations of her father's likeness and voice.I get why this feels strange, and I say so in the episode. But I walk through why it actually works. A dormant account does not rank in a Robin Williams search, so what fills that space is fan edits at best and AI slop at worst. An active family owned account gives people one verified place to check whether a photo or video is real, and it gives the family standing to file takedowns, which platforms only honor from accounts in good standing. The Stan Lee Instagram has been running this playbook for a while and it is worth a follow. This is still whack a mole and I am not pretending otherwise, but it is one of the few real levers anyone has right now. What gets me is that the people falling for these videos skew older, not younger, while the millennials who grew up on Robin are the ones watching his kids fight off replicas of their dead father.

A pastor in San Bernardino was going door to door in the worst neighborhood of the city. He walked into a home and found a family in crisis. Their teenage daughter had made a pact with nine other young people to end their lives. He prayed with that family. All nine of them got saved. That's one story from one city where Mario Murillo set up a tent. I sit down with evangelist Mario Murillo to talk about what God is doing right now in the most unlikely places in America. Cities that make the news for violence, not revival. Mario's rule for where he goes is simple: it has to be an open wound. And what's been happening in San Bernardino and Stockton, California, is something the church desperately needs to hear. In both cities, youth outnumbered adults in a 40,000 square foot tent. Gang leaders, homeless young people, and kids looking for a reason to live showed up and left transformed. San Bernardino ended with the largest baptismal service the Inland Empire has ever seen, 1,000 people in water on a single Wednesday night. Stockton somehow exceeded even that. We also hear a testimony from a couple who spent years barely surviving, about what happened to them the morning after a worship service with no altar call, no word of knowledge, just the presence of God in the room. In this episode: Why Mario only goes to the most broken cities and what happens when he arrives The San Bernardino pastor whose door-to-door visits built a church of 28,000 on nine campuses 1,000 young people baptized in one night and why youth are leading this revival The couple who woke up the morning after a worship service and everything had changed Why corporate worship is producing healing without anyone calling it out What this move of God means for the future of America Podcast Episode 2211: Revival, Verified Miracles, and the Tent Meetings Changing America, with Mario Murillo | don't miss this!

Matt and Michael open with the paradox of getting your ass kicked and somehow feeling more alive because of it. Matt shares his realization that there is no "there" to arrive at. The car ride IS the destination. Flat tires, closed restaurants, broken grinders. That's not the interruption of life. That IS life. Then things get deep. They wrestle with Dawkins vs. Lennox on justice and whether the universe has a moral order. They explore why science itself presupposes God, why atheism requires its own kind of faith, and why Lennox's answer about morality is devastating. All men are created in the image of God, even the ones who don't believe in Him. The back half dives into inversion. How we try to make reality conform to us instead of conforming ourselves to reality. They tackle sex, polyamory, pornography, and C.S. Lewis's insight from The Abolition of Man. If you optimize for the purpose of a thing, you destroy the thing itself. Optimize for pleasure, and you end up in misery. Cheers y'all

By Doug Green “There's nothing that beats proactivity. If you can stop the problem before it happens, the amount of value saved is immense.” First Orion's Josh Whitehurst, Head of Product, joins TR Publisher Doug Green to discuss why trusted communications now require more than simply authenticating a phone number. As voice, text and RCS increasingly converge, Whitehurst says businesses need to treat telephone numbers and messaging sender identities as valuable brand assets — much like websites, email domains and other digital properties. STIR/SHAKEN was an important first step, Whitehurst explains, because it helped determine whether a call was actually originating from the number it claimed to be using. But the industry is now moving “beyond STIR/SHAKEN” toward a broader trust framework that combines enterprise vetting, number-right-to-use verification, branded identity, analytics and end-to-end call authentication. First Orion's approach can authenticate individual calls in real time by comparing an authoritative signal generated when an enterprise initiates a call with what ultimately arrives at the terminating carrier. When the signals match, the recipient can be shown verified branding, including the company name, logo and even a reason for the call. When they do not match, carriers can remove the branding — or potentially block the fraudulent call altogether. Whitehurst offers a striking example from a large financial institution. After First Orion's technology was deployed, the company discovered that on some days 10% to 20% of calls appearing to come from the institution were actually impersonation attempts. The system was able to block roughly 100,000 to 200,000 fraudulent call events per month before those calls ever reached consumers. The conversation also explores how AI is raising the stakes. Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, but Whitehurst notes that carriers and communications providers can use AI, predictive analytics and real-time detection on the defensive side as well. The larger goal is an omnichannel identity framework that lets consumers know who is really contacting them whether the interaction arrives by voice, text or another communications channel. For enterprises and SMBs, Whitehurst's message is to start thinking differently about communications identity. Verified phone numbers and sender IDs should be managed and protected as part of the organization's brand and security infrastructure. Learn more at FirstOrion.com.

For review:1. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the administration of President Donald Trump is escalating economic pressure on Cuba with an unprecedented sanctions campaign and warned that "there are no escape valves."2. Yemen's Houthis said they attacked an oil facility Sunday in southwestern Saudi Arabia, the latest attack by the Iranian-backed rebels on the kingdom.3. Nickolay Mladenov, the Gaza envoy of the US-backed Board of Peace, sought to dispel skepticism in Israel about the board's roadmap for the disarmament of Hamas in the Strip, arguing that the plan's full implementation is Israel's only “guarantee” of preventing a repeat of the October 7, 2023, massacre, and that it will be based on verifiable steps, rather than trust of the terror group.4. Iran on Monday said that it has no reason to be concerned about the new security pact between Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, arguing that it is “a sign of a change in the perception” of countries in the region toward the United States, and not a threat to Iran.5. US President Donald Trump said Sunday that Washington was “low-keying” its approach to Iran and only “semi-negotiating” with the Islamic Republic, as it suffers in dire economic straits.6. Russia's Foreign Ministry has denied that Russian and German officials held talks in Azerbaijan last month to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine.“There have been no official contacts with Germany regarding a settlement in Ukraine, nor are there any now.” 7. The US Defense Department has requested that American defense companies quickly boost their production and delivery of weapons amid an acute shortage of arms due to the Iran war, according to a memo reported on by the WP on Saturday.8. The Army has officially opened up four of its domestic testing ranges and one international range where private industry can blast off interceptor missiles they have developed with their own funds, in hopes of getting promising candidates into the acquisition pipeline faster.

Running an Australian eCommerce or Shopify store? Your customers have started shopping inside ChatGPT, and shoppers arriving from AI answer engines convert around 1.5x better than any other source.Melbourne eCommerce Aus Event - Tickets Here. Online shopping has become… boring? A recent Criteo study found 77% of Australians describe online shopping as unexciting, and that's just the starting point for one of our most forward-looking conversations yet.Ryan sits down with Matt Hurle from Criteo to unpack the findings of their latest report and what they mean for anyone running an eCommerce business in Australia. Matt brings 20 years in advertising, 15 in digital and 10 in martech, from cold-calling rural businesses out of the Yellow Pages to sitting at the front edge of AI-powered retail media.The big theme: the path to purchase is no longer linear. Consumers are bouncing between publishers, retailer sites, social platforms and AI answer engines like ChatGPT, and increasingly starting their entire shopping journey inside those answer engines, at the very first spark of an idea. Criteo was the first technology company integrated with OpenAI via API and has already run 2,000+ campaigns in that environment. Early signal? Shoppers arriving from ChatGPT convert about 1.5x more efficiently than any other source.We also get into the eternal marketer's tension Ryan sums up perfectly: "The thing I love about digital marketing is you can track every dollar. The thing I hate about digital marketing is you can track every dollar." Attribution, brand vs. performance, the resurgence of SEO (or GEO/AIO, whatever we're calling it this week), influencer strategy, and why customer support and honest reviews now beat polished influencer content for building real trust.Key TakeawaysThe funnel is dead — long live discovery. Consumers now begin shopping journeys inside AI answer engines, far earlier than the traditional mid-to-lower funnel signals marketers relied on. Brands need to show up higher up the discovery journey.Commerce data is the new gold standard. Moving away from demographics and guesswork toward real commerce signals — what people add to cart, actually buy, and browse before and after. Criteo observes 1T+ in annual eCommerce transactions across 730M+ daily active shoppers.Show up across surfaces, not just your own. Criteo's independence means it serves ads on whichever "surface" (open web, ChatGPT, Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, X) is most likely to convert — not a walled-garden's owned inventory.ChatGPT shoppers convert ~1.5x better. They've researched and validated inside the answer engine, so trust is high by the time they land.SEO/GEO/AIO matters more than ever. As search shifts from keywords to full-sentence, conversational queries, rich product data and verifiable messaging determine whether you appear in AI answers — or get left out of the consideration set entirely.Trust beats polish. Verified reviews and genuine customer support now outweigh paid influencer content. 200 five-star reviews can be less trusted than a 4.7 average. Reply to bad reviews honestly. (Ryan's Nero merino example and Matt's Artisan chopping-board recall story both make the point.)Match the influencer to the job to be done. Celebrities drive reach and exposure; micro-influencers drive engaged, community-level trust and conversion. Different jobs, different tiers.AI answer engines stay out of sensitive categories. OpenAI keeps advertising away from health-related matters, directing people back to their GPs.

The Department of Government Efficiency touted that it saved $110 billion across federal contracts, grants and leases. But many of DOGE's claims don't have supporting evidence and some are simply incorrect. A new report from the Government Accountability Office finds that 96% of DOGE's claimed savings on federal grants cannot be verified. And some savings that DOGE posted on its “wall of receipts” website were already being phased out before DOGE was established.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The only conviction in the Nancy Guthrie case is for fake ransom texts — and the sheriff running the investigation publicly stated the wrong sentence. Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines the gap between what Sheriff Nanos told the public about Derrick Callella's disposition and what the plea agreement actually reads. From there, the conversation moves to the complete communication failure between the FBI and Pima County, Savannah Guthrie's new video plea and the pointed language that suggests she knows something the rest of us don't, and an assault near Nancy's neighborhood with a suspect matching the porch figure's description. Coffindaffer brings twenty-eight years of FBI experience to a case that, six months in, has produced no named suspect and no arrest.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The band took their bow. The house lights came up, and nobody in the Saddledome moved. This is the night the ovation would not stop.Episode summaryAugust 3rd, 2016. A Wednesday. Two nights after the first Calgary show, The Tragically Hip walked back into the Scotiabank Saddledome and played the city goodbye. Ten years on, three fans who were in the building pass the night around the table with jD.Spencer from Calgary is back from the night one episode. This was his third show of the Man Machine Poem Tour and the last time he saw the band live, and he spent it with Alan and Chantel, old friends from ten years of Hitmen games and Saddledome nights. His friend Al's text said it best: heavy but celebratory, like we all knew what was happening but we chose to live in the moment.Julie from Calgary hadn't seen The Hip since 1997. The tickets were a first date anniversary present. She and Keith from Calgary went with her parents, still dating, married the next year, and 'Ahead by a Century' was the wedding song.They talk about the word glioblastoma and where it landed in Julie's family. About Spencer's Periscope vigil in a Calgary bar the night the tour opened in Victoria. About 'Scared' with the lights up, the Jaws shirt, and an ovation that went on so long Gord Downie just stood there in the house lights, telling Calgary it was beautiful.Nobody here claims to be the expert. They were in the room, and ten years later two of them run a charity festival because of it. That part comes up too.Key takeaways• The tickets were a first date anniversary present. Keith and Julie were still dating at the show, married the next year, and 'Ahead by a Century' was their wedding song.

And for one night, there's very few nights in your life where everybody is connected, positive, happy, loving, sad. You could have hugged anyone in there. You could have kissed anyone in there. It would have been accepted."- Julie from Calgary"This might sound like hyperbole, but in a lot of ways that show changed my life."- Keith from CalgaryGuest information• Spencer from Calgary - back from night one.

Are you trusting the seller's numbers... or verifying the truth? One of the fastest ways to lose money in multifamily real estate isn't overpaying—it's believing a pro forma that doesn't reflect reality. In this episode, Gino Barbaro explains why experienced investors never rely solely on seller projections and how verifying operating expenses can be the difference between a profitable investment and financial disaster. You'll learn why so many multifamily deals fail, which expenses are commonly underestimated, and how professional investors build conservative underwriting models that protect both their capital and their investors. In this video you'll learn: ✔ Why seller pro formas can be dangerously misleading ✔ The difference between revenue growth and true profitability ✔ The most commonly underestimated operating expenses ✔ How to verify insurance, taxes, payroll, utilities, maintenance, and property management costs ✔ Why experienced investors create their own pro forma instead of trusting the broker's ✔ Red flags that can expose a bad apartment deal before you buy ✔ How to evaluate deals based on cash flow—not hope ✔ Why reducing expenses often creates more value than increasing income Whether you're investing in your first apartment building or already own a portfolio, this episode will help you underwrite smarter, avoid costly mistakes, and make better investment decisions in today's market. One of the biggest lessons from this episode: A seller's pro forma tells a story. Verified expenses tell the truth. If you want to become a disciplined multifamily investor, this conversation is essential.

Calvin #1: Some more things about Django I've been enjoying Julia Evans is learning "2010-style" web dev (Django + SQL + server-rendered HTML) after years of Go backends and JS-heavy frontends Query builders: likes defining custom QuerySet classes with chainable filter methods (.approved().future().with_tags()) — more readable than raw SQL Template filters: highlights urlize, linebreaksbr, json_script, and especially querystring for building/modifying query-string links in templates Migrations: still loves Django's auto-generated migrations — 19 and counting on her project Skips inheritance for class-based views; prefers function-based views for sharing code, though fine using Django's own mixins/interfaces Performance surprise: CPU profiling (via py-spy) — not slow DB queries — revealed the culprit; she'd accidentally disabled the cached template loader, and re-enabling it took throughput from ~2-3 req/s to ~12 req/s on a $10/mo VM Michael #2: Who cleans up after the vibe-coding party? FT Magazine piece by Sam Learner (July 11) on AI coding tools overwhelming open source maintainers - sent in by listener Dylan McConnell, whose main point was that this ran in the Financial Times, not a dev blog. cURL as the case study - Daniel Stenberg has been the only full-time person on it for years; libcurl has been installed an estimated 20+ billion times with 3,000+ listed contributors. Bug bounty killed - cURL ended its paid security bounty program in January, citing an "explosion of AI slop reports" that take real time to debunk and drain morale. Extractive contributions - authoring a PR is now nearly free, reviewing one still costs a human; tldraw's Steve Ruiz closed outside contributions entirely, asking why he'd want someone else writing the easy part. Guido weighs in - van Rossum says projects are holding emergency meetings over the slop flow, and notes LLM patches tend to touch unrelated parts of a file, making review more tedious. "Vibe Coding Kills Open Source" - paper from Miklós Koren's group: packages frequently recommended by coding models saw big download jumps with no matching engagement, breaking the reputation loop that sustains maintainers. Stack Overflow flatlined - over 100,000 questions a month before ChatGPT, under 1,500 last month, with the response rate cut roughly in half; the public archive is now stale training data. The course-creator angle - Josh Comeau's newest web dev course launched at about a third of prior enrollment, and he worries about devs who never learn which questions to ask. But the most interesting portion is what was omitted. Focused on: The end of the curl bug-bounty Omitted: High-Quality Chaos Why the omission is interesting It fits a narrative. The FT piece is a maintenance-and-decline story, and January-Stenberg is a perfect witness for it. April-Stenberg complicates it - same person, same project, better data, opposite direction on the specific claim being used. The tell is already in the article. Learner quotes Stenberg saying AI tools are much better at finding problems than fixing them. That's the April thesis in one line, and it goes undeveloped. Reason for the shift is process, not vibes. Killing the bounty removed the cash incentive and the venue change filtered the rest. Worth saying out loud, because "AI reports got better" isn't quite it - "no bounty plus a real triage platform" is closer.

As usual with phishing scams there are a bunch of tells that this isn't legitimate, but just enough plausibility that I could see falling for it in a weak moment. Relative nobodies like me haven't historically been worth the effort to hit with scams this specific. Agents change the game though :-/. Be careful out there folks! Original message From: "Patrick (Blacktrace)" [HTML_REMOVED] To: LISTENER EMAIL Subject: Your Bandit #1350 (B105 NextToken false positive) -- just fixed that exact case Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2026 12:02 AM Hi AJ, Saw your Bandit issue #1350 -- the B105 hardcoded-password false positive on the string NextToken. I build a deterministic gate that filters that class of Bandit noise, and #1350 was literally the case I just fixed: NextToken / next_token / page_token / nextPageToken now stay quiet, while a genuine hardcoded token like api_token="sk-live-..." still fires. Verified against your exact case. 30-second paste: https://blacktrace.co/noise-eraser Where it still trips, published: https://blacktrace.co/kruc Curious whether it clears what you hit -- and if it trips on something of yours, that's the more useful reply. Patrick, Blacktrace I asked Claude for some analysis too. It was pretty good at finding them. The message name-drops enough real detail to feel legit, but the structure is pure phishing - everything in it exists to get AJ onto blacktrace.co. The strongest ones: Freemail sender, corporate signoff. Signs as "Patrick, Blacktrace" but sends from emailpjv@gmail.com. Real company outreach comes from the company domain, not a personal Gmail - and there's no last name. Over-specific targeting. It mirrors AJ's exact public activity - issue #1350, the B105 rule, the NextToken false positive, even the token variants. That's the "just enough plausibility" AJ flagged, and it's exactly what agents make cheap: scrape a GitHub issue, auto-generate tailored bait. Legit cold outreach rarely reads your history back to you this precisely. The entire payload is two links. Strip the technical flattery and the message is just "paste here" plus "see results here." When the whole point of an email is the click, that's the tell. "30-second paste." Low-friction urgency, and "paste" most likely means paste your source into their tool - handing your code to a stranger's site. Exfiltration dressed as convenience. Brand-new, no-reputation domain. blacktrace.co has no track record, and the name is doing some ominous work. The /kruc slug is random noise, not how real product pages get named. Precise-sounding jargon that's actually vague. "Deterministic gate," "noise-eraser" - impressive, empty. Bolted onto correct real details (B105 is the Bandit hardcoded-password test, sk-live- is a Stripe live-key prefix) to borrow credibility. The disarming close. "if it trips on something of yours, that's the more useful reply" - engineered humility that flatters your expertise and baits a response. Makes engaging feel like you're doing them a favor, which drops your guard.

Matt and Michael open with the Texas heat and the strange feeling of being between seasons. Not just summer tipping toward fall, but the inner seasons of thought and spirit where old ideas fade and new ones haven't arrived. What do you do when you don't know what to do? They explore anxiety and faith, the discipline of presence, and how focusing on relationships unlocked unexpected reconnections. Then things get deeper. They wrestle with truth as conforming to reality, the fear of God as respect for overwhelming power, and why rights only work when they come from God rather than government. The conversation turns to communism and why it always ends in genocide, why markets and elections work because they let reality speak, and why everything good is good because of love. Michael calls it what it is. Two guys stumbling through ideas, pushing on things, trying to find the meat on the bone. Cheers y'all

The "which is smarter" question is dead. Both models are good enough that the right question is which one does the specific thing you need better. This episode breaks down where each one wins for actual work. The short version. Claude wins on writing quality, instruction-following, long-document analysis, and agentic work. ChatGPT wins on image generation, voice, custom GPTs, and ecosystem breadth. Where Claude pulls ahead. For anything client-facing, Claude produces prose that needs less editing, with fewer clichés, better structure, and more controllable tone, which is the single most-cited reason people prefer it for memos, reports, and articles. It also holds detailed constraints better, so when you give it specific headings, a voice, and things to avoid, it sticks to them more faithfully. On the coding and analysis side, Claude leads the reasoning benchmarks (91.3% on GPQA Diamond) and holds a slim edge on SWE-bench Verified, and its context window is the most-cited reason developers switch, with the API tier going up to 1M tokens for long codebases, contracts, and book-length documents. Where ChatGPT pulls ahead. Image generation is not close. ChatGPT generates images natively and Claude cannot generate them at all, so if visuals are in your workflow, that decides it. ChatGPT also browses the web in real time, while Claude does not do that natively, and it integrates directly with Word, Excel, Teams, and Outlook through Microsoft Copilot, which matters if your business already runs on Microsoft 365. For high-volume API work, the flagship cost gap is large: a small internal RAG tool running 10M input and 2M output tokens a month runs roughly $300 on Claude Opus versus $55 on GPT, and it scales from there. Pricing. If you're choosing between Claude Pro and ChatGPT Plus, pick on capability, not price, because they both cost about $20 a month. The one real gap is ChatGPT's cheaper $8 Go tier and its more generous free tier. The move most professionals actually make. The common 2026 setup is ChatGPT for ideation, images, and quick questions, and Claude for the serious writing, editing, long-document analysis, and agentic file work. At about $20 each, running both is roughly $40 a month, which is trivial against the time it saves if AI is core to your job. The AI Career LabBottom line for a service business or agency. If your work is mostly writing, client documents, and code, Claude is the stronger daily driver. If you're producing marketing visuals, doing web research, or living in Microsoft 365, ChatGPT earns its seat. Most people find a clear preference within a week of running both on real work.Topics: Claude vs ChatGPT 2026, best AI for work, AI for small business, AI writing tool, AI for consultants and agencies, Claude Code, ChatGPT vs Claude pricing, long context AI, AI coding model, business AI workflow.Best AI for work 2026, Claude vs ChatGPT for business, AI tool for agencies and freelancers, AI writing and coding assistant, running Claude and ChatGPT together.

On this Tuesday edition of The Chasers Dugout Report, the panel breaks down Junior Caminero's historic power surge — the Rays third baseman, now 23, became the youngest player in MLB history to homer in six straight games (surpassing Ken Griffey Jr.), part of an 11-home-run stretch across 11 games dating back to June 23. Alvin Clawson makes the case for him as the best third baseman in baseball right now.The crew also unpacks a report that seven MLB umpires — including CB Bucknor and Laz Díaz — accepted buyouts to retire after the 2026 season, with the automated ball-strike (ABS) Challenge System and rising public scrutiny cited as key factors. Expect a real debate on accountability, ego, and preserving the human element behind the plate.

This Episode Pat Zingarella joins Chris Lopez to share the story behind Invest Clearly, a platform built to bring more transparency to the private real estate investing world. Pat's journey started like many BiggerPockets listeners: learning through podcasts, buying his first small multifamily property, making painful mistakes, and slowly realizing how hard it can be for LPs to know who they can trust. Pat walks through the lessons from his first fourplex, including inherited tenants, COVID-era nonpayment, poor screening decisions, and the difference between blaming real estate versus recognizing where his own due diligence fell short. He also shares how a later experience working under a high-profile real estate figure exposed him to the darker side of the industry and helped shape his view that LPs need better tools, better transparency, and better ways to validate sponsors before wiring capital. Chris and Pat dig into how Invest Clearly works today: a directory of GPs, verified LP reviews, proof-of-investment requirements, and a growing database designed to help investors compare sponsor experiences in one place. They also discuss why reviews matter, what happens when operators try to suppress negative feedback, and why community-driven transparency can help separate strong sponsors from bad actors. Key takeaways: How Pat went from BiggerPockets listener to active investor to building Invest Clearly What his first fourplex taught him about screening, reserves, trust, and due diligence Why private real estate needs more transparency around GP track records and LP experiences How Invest Clearly verifies reviews and helps LPs research sponsors Why negative reviews, legal threats, and transparency are becoming bigger issues in the industry How communities like PassivePockets and tools like Invest Clearly can help LPs make better-informed decisions Join a community of passive investors.

Lonely in a new city even though you're “connected” all day? We felt that tension hard, so we sat down with Gabor Catas, CEO of Friending Inc., to talk about a different kind of social app: one that's built to get you off your phone and back into real life. Gabor shares why he helped shape the Friending App after years of moving between countries and states, and why loneliness is more common than most people admit, especially after COVID and the shift to remote work.We dig into what makes Friending stand out in the crowded world of friendship apps and dating-style platforms. First, verified identity: the app uses Persona with ID and selfie checks to reduce fake profiles and build trust. Then, the big behavioral change: chat is limited to 10 exchanges, after which you send a friend request with a 30-day window to meet face-to-face. It's a design choice that challenges the endless-texting loop and focuses on making friends through shared activities in your area.We also get practical about safety and real-world meetups. Friending includes a triple-tap feature that can call the police by default, contact a friend, or alert nearby Friending users if you feel uncomfortable. You can browse people within about 50 miles using “Are You In” activity cards and tags, and Gabor paints the best-case future where you can even ping nearby players to fill out a last-minute volleyball team. Plus, there's a fun twist: sending real coffee with a QR code message that can be text, video, or even a song.Listen now, then subscribe, share with a friend who's new in town, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Send us Fan MailSupport the showThanks for listening!Check out this site for everthing to know about women's pleasure including video tutorials and great suggestions for bedroom time!!https://for-goodness-sake-omgyes.sjv.io/c/5059274/1463336/17315Take the happiness quiz from Oprah and Arthur Brooks here: https://arthurbrooks.com/buildNEW: Subscribe monthly: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1805181/support Email  questions/comments/feeback to tamara@straightfromthesourcesmouth.co Website: https://straightfromthesourcesmouthpod.net/Instagram: @fromthesourcesmouth_franktalkTwitter: @tamarapodcastYouTube and IG: Tamara_Schoon_comicWant to be a guest on Straight from the Source's Mouth: Frank Talk about Sex and Dating?
