Partnership Health Center, the Missoula County Community Justice Department and other service providers work together to provide a supportive and helpful environment for these clients. This week, the commissioners spoke with Ty Robinson, the reentry coordinator at Watershed, about individual success stories and how this model works.Text us your thoughts and comments on this episode! Thank you to Missoula's Community Media Resource for podcast recording support!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 17, 2026 is: watershed • WAW-ter-shed • noun Watershed, used figuratively, refers to a crucial dividing point, line, or factor. Used literally, the word may refer to a ridge from which rivers drain on either side, or to the area of land that includes a particular river or lake and all the rivers, streams, etc. that flow into it. : a crucial dividing point, line, or factor // The protests marked a watershed in the nation's history. // The Continental Divide is the most well known watershed in the United States. See the entry > Examples: “For thousands of years, elk would have accounted for the second largest amount of meat in the diets of many eastern peoples, after the ubiquitous whitetail deer. Not only were the animals present in the East; for thousands of years they sustained human life and were integral to Indigenous material and spiritual culture. Although they were great and skilled hunters, Native Americans in the East rarely killed all of the elk or all of the deer in an entire watershed.” — Andrew Moore, Beasts of the East: The Fall and Rise of America's Eastern Wilderness, 2026 Did you know? Opinion on the literal geographic meaning of watershed is divided. On one side of the debate are those who think the word can only refer to a ridge of land separating rivers and streams flowing in one direction from those flowing in the opposite direction. That's the term's original meaning, one probably borrowed in the translation of the German Wasserscheide. On the other side of the argument are those who think watershed can also apply to the area through which such divided water flows. The latter sense is now far more common in America, but most speakers have apparently decided to leave the quarrel to hydrologists and geographers, choosing to limit their use of watershed to its figurative “turning point” sense.

Tara Seshan leads product for Codex and ChatGPT Work at OpenAI (alongside previous podcast guest Andrew Ambrosino, who's her engineering manager). Before OpenAI, Tara spent over six years at Stripe, where she joined as one of the first five product managers. She went on to lead product for Watershed, which Time magazine named one of the best inventions of 2022, and she is also a founder and Thiel Fellow. Most personally meaningful to me: Tara is one of the three inaugural Lenny's Newsletter Fellows, a program I ran a couple of years ago to spotlight the most exciting up-and-coming product leaders.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. The shift from “rowing” to “steering,” and why human judgment and ambition will become differentiators as AI takes on execution2. How OpenAI thinks about building for model capabilities two to three months out3. OpenAI's best internal memes, such as “Is this maximally accelerated?” and “Are you mainlining it yet?”4. Why ambition is the new bottleneck for companies, and why elevating others' ambitions is now the key part of the PM job5.

THE NEXT BILLION SECONDS: AI@70 EP 2: THE WATERSHED ChatGPT opened the door to artificial intelligence. Almost immediately, researchers built 'agents' using it - but three years of hard yards passed before agents were 'good enough' to be useful. In this episode we trace the path from 'bad' to 'good enough' agents - and what it unlocked as we 'crossed the watershed'. No one really thought that on the last day of November in 2022, the world would change completely. Not even the folks closest to it. Like Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, who said, "We always knew we'd hit a tipping point," "But we didn't know what the moment would be." His firm modestly promoted a 'research preview' of their new AI chatbot.ChatGPT. G'day, I'm Mark Pesce and this billion seconds are already unfolding as the most significant of this century. In this miniseries, celebrating the 70th anniversary of artificial intelligence, we're looking at where we’ve come from, how we got here - and where we seem to be going. Because we’re travelling at the speed of thought. ChatGPT promised artificial intelligence on tap for everyone. But it took another three years for that promise to be realised. This episode traces that story, from something kids used to do their homework for them - into a tool reshaping our economy. That's on this episode of This Billion Seconds. I reckon anyone who used a chatbot in 2023 or 2024 deserves a gold star. Two gold stars if they used one to get work done. ChatGPT was interesting. But it wasn't very accurate. The earliest chatbots, trained to be eager to please, would sometimes make up their answers. With no basis in fact. We call these 'hallucinations', but that's not what they are. It's that we'd caught the AI out. Asked a question it didn't know how to answer. So, it did its best with whatever it could pull together. It didn't mean to lie. It didn't even know it was lying. It was just generating a response. In a chatbot conversation that isn't a big deal. You could fact check - against another chatbot, against the web - even, if you can imagine it, ask another human being. Those sorts of hallucinations could be caught - if you went to some effort. But then again - why ask a chatbot if you want to make an effort? Folks took chatbots at their word. And some them paid a price. Hallucinations are an annoyance for people. But they're show-stoppers for autonomous agents. Oh yes, the nearly forty year old dream of Apple CEO John Sculley of autonomous agents running around and doing all of our work for us - that dream flickered back into life alongside ChatGPT. Researchers reckoned that with 'good enough' AI, they'd be able to build agents. To read your email, Keep your calendar. Book a reservation. That sort of thing. Just three months after ChatGPT landed, the first of those autonomous agents popped up. A piece of software known as AutoGPT. AutoGPT turns an AI like ChatGPT into an agent. It does that by providing the three things an agent needs. Memory - so that the agent can remember what it's supposed to be doing, and keep notes on its progress as it does it. Tools - So that it can do things like read and write files, respond to emails, or add items to the calendar, And goal logic - this is the thing that turns an AI into a single-minded goal-oriented piece of software. Basically, it's the same quality as the Terminator: the agent has one goal and it will stop at nothing to achieve it. AutoGPT gave ChatGPT memory, tools and goal logic - everything need to turn it into an autonomous agent. And it should have been absolutely amazing. Except for one thing. Here's how an agent works: you give it a goal, and it 'decomposes' that goal into a series of steps, then breaks those steps down into discrete actions. The agent then methodically works its way through each of the actions. At the end of every action, an agent 'reflects' - it checks the results of that action. Did it work? Does the agent get to go on to the next action, or does it need to do this action again? And this is where the problems arise. Because if ChatGPT happens to hallucinate in the midst of this process, the whole thing very quickly falls over. Maybe an agent thinks an action worked, when it didn't. Or thinks it didn't, even though it did. Now there's always a change that - for any given action - there will be a hallucination that will make the agent fall over. You can deal with that if there are just a few actions. Chances are it will get through all of the actions before problems arise. But for anything even modestly complex, there are many actions. Tens to hundreds. Maybe even thousands. So the probability for just one hallucination - that's all it takes to make the agent fall over - grows higher and higher as the list of actions grows longer and longer. Now here's the thing: people measured this. A group known as Model Evaluation and Threat Research or METR, they've kept a running record of how long agents can run before they fall over. And back in early 2023, they'd make it no more than about 4 minutes. An agent can't do a lot in 4 minutes. So although we could make agents using ChatGPT, we couldn't make them work well. For that, we'd need better AI. Funny thing about that. All of us can take some credit for making AI better. You see, most everyone who's using ChatGPT or Claude or Gemini or any of the others, is making those models better with every question we put the them. Those questions and the answers to them get fed back in, to train the next generation of models. It's why AI is so much better now than it was three years ago - and why I say anyone who used AI day-to-day in 2023 or 2024 deserves a gold star. Those were hard yards because the AI just wasn't very good. How do we know AI is better to day than it was two or three years ago? Ah, here's where we come back to those folks at METR. They've been tracking what they call the 'task horizon' of agents. How long they can perform actions before they fall over. And they noticed that with every subsequent generation of AI, that task horizon got longer. Dependably. It soon became clear that the task horizon doubled an average in seven months. 4 minutes becomes eight minutes toward the end of 2023, then sixteen minutes in mid 2024 thirty-two minutes in early 2025, and then sixty-four minutes. Just over an hour In November 2025. Three years after ChatGPT launched. Now that moment in time - just under a year ago - saw the launch of three brand new models: Google Gemini 3, Anthropic Claude Opus 4.5, and OpenAI GPT-5.2. Each of these models could be used to create agents with task horizons greater than an hour. An hour is "long enough" that you can assign an agent a reasonably complex task, let it go off and do the work, with confidence that the work will be done correctly. That's kind of a magic length of time. It takes agents out of the theoretical - where they'd been for nearly 40 years - and makes them very practical. That's the reason I call this moment "The Watershed". It's the moment when AI gets "good enough" to do real work. I'm far from the only person to notice this. Anyone using AI tools to write software noticed a big shift, as they stopped fighting with their tools. Because the tools had gotten 'smart enough' to handle the task. This is the moment where we first hear the term 'vibe coding' - tell the agent what kind of software you want to create, and the agent will go off and build it for you. And now that we're on the other side of the watershed, it's all downhill. Gaining speed. Because the task horizon didn't stop growing at an hour. We're more than seven months beyond November 2025, and task horizons have doubled again. Two hours. By early next year, four hours. And by the end of next year - eight hours. An entire work day. Tell the agent what to do - for the whole of the day - and let it do its thing. We've come a long, long way since November 2023. But we're through the hardest bits. You're using the worst AI you'll ever use. And boy, will it get better from here. In our next episode, we'll look at what autonomous agents mean for business - and whether business is actually prepared to pay for them. That's on the next episode of This Billion seconds.

Crockett Avenue Irrigation Company President Gordon Colson and Cache Water District Manager Nathan Daugs join us today to discuss the Little Logan River Watershed Project.

Anne Arundel County may be surrounded by water, but protecting it begins in yards, neighborhoods, and communities across the county. In this week's Local Business Spotlight, Suzanne Etgen, co-founder and founding executive director of the Anne Arundel County Watershed Stewards Academy, explains how the nonprofit trains residents to become community leaders who can identify environmental problems and help turn practical solutions into action. The conversation covers the academy's certification program, stormwater management, native plants, tree protection, mosquito control and the small everyday choices that can collectively improve local waterways. Etgen also discusses the academy's growth since 2008, the more than 400 watershed stewards it has trained, and how residents can get involved through classes, volunteer projects and simple changes at home. Have a listen.

We discuss with Lake Panorama Project Manager Lane Rumelhart.

In November 2025, the global techno-economy shifted subtly, then dramatically, as AI agents became viable additions to the workforce. Mark Pesce has documented these changes, what he refers to as “The Watershed”,  in a remarkable series of articles at https://thewatershed.markpesce.com/.  Pesce joins the Futurists to explain his perspective about how companies and work have changed forever. Pesce and Rob Tercek discuss the future of jobs for humans working alongside AI agents, and what happens when an  AI with compounding capability begins to set its own goals. Topics:  relative super intelligence versus AGI; The Bitter Lesson and what remains durable work for humans; private insurance markets as the mechanism for pricing AI risk, why governments will evade that measurement, and the dissolving boundaries that used to define corporations. 

Thanks for listening to The Watershed, a podcast from We Are Water MN. In this episode, we're joined by eight Minnesotans who share a special connection to the Mississippi River: Tim Terrill, Darrin Hoverson, Heidi and Kadence Becker, Lori and Mike Becker, Devin Brown, and Tanáǧidaŋ Tó Wíŋ. 2026 marks 100 years of water quality testing on the Mississippi. Back in 1926, a study revealed severe pollution: only three fish were found in a 42-mile stretch of river between the Twin Cities and Hastings. The findings confirmed what residents already feared: the Mississippi was dead. But that study also sparked a century of collective action to restore and protect this vital waterway.  This year, a growing movement in the Twin Cities called Sacred Water Shared Future is honoring that legacy. Through community gatherings, storytelling, education, and conservation, the campaign celebrates the river's central role in our region while acknowledging its deep history, sacredness, and resilience. The hope is simple and powerful: that 2026 inspires collaboration and shared action and helps set the stage for the next hundred years of healing for the river and all the life it supports.  You can learn more about Sacred Water Shared Future at Sacred Water Shared Future, where you'll also find a full calendar of water‑focused events happening throughout the Twin Cities. The campaign is hosting opportunities for people to connect with the river in meaningful ways, from rafting trips and bike tours to seminars, workshops, concerts, logrolling, crating, and more. Each event offers a chance to celebrate the river, learn from it, and spend time with others who care about its future. You can learn more about We Are Water MN at We Are Water MN - Minnesota Humanities CenterSpecial thank you to Mumble Media, who conducted all the interviews with these community members.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2026/07/31/cinema-rediscovered-2026-wrap-up/ As ever Richard and I loved attending this year's edition of Cinema Rediscovered at the Watershed in Bristol. They do so many things for the city and for cinema; bringing in so many venues into the festival; offering young people the opportunities to programme, to get experience with criticism, to learn about Bristol as a cinema city (Mark Fuller's wonderful walks), familiarise themselves with different histories (Rosie Taylor's wonderful talk on 9.5mm film; the Queen Kelly programme with Pamela Hutchinson's superb introduction, and in two different venues, so one can explore different cinemas in Bristol) and so much else. In this podcast Richard and I go through the programme day by day, speaking on all the events we attended (everyone will have a slightly different experience of Cinema Rediscovered), praising much (Different Ways of Seeing panel, the Cruising pop-up, many of the individual films) and offering some criticisms which we aim to be constructive (is it time to let go of the 70s, rogue or not? Might the comic book adaptation strand have been better shaped and signalled; might connections between films in the programme have been better highlighted). That said, another brilliant year, it's tenth! Here's to many more. Congratulations to Mark Cosgrove, Maddie Probst and the dozens of other people who made it all possible.

Is subscribing to someone's OnlyFans cheating? What about texting an ex, keeping a dating app "just to look", or fantasising about someone else during sex? In this special watershed episode, we're diving into the murky grey areas of modern relationships with a boundary-pushing cheating quiz that sparks some surprisingly revealing conversations. Together, we unpack the behaviours that sit between loyalty and betrayal, exploring emotional affairs, secret crushes, dating apps, hidden messages, workplace flirtations, exes, social media boundaries, and what "cheating" actually means in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships. The truth? There isn't one universal definition. What feels harmless to one person might feel devastating to another. This episode is designed to help you better understand your own boundaries, communicate your expectations, and start the conversations many couples avoid until it's too late. ⚠️ This is a Watershed episode. Free listeners get the first half of the conversation, but if you want the full debate, all our answers, and the deeper discussions around ENM, trust, honesty and relationship agreements, you'll need to join us on Patreon. Whether you're happily monogamous, exploring ethical non-monogamy, or simply wondering where your own line is, this episode will leave you with plenty to think about.

Ken and Anthony debate whether the outrage over Brendan Sorsby's gambling is overblown, with the afternoon guys arguing that fans who looked the other way on Deshaun Watson's allegations have no standing to draw the line at gambling. The crew breaks down why the NFL and college football both have to take this seriously regardless of moral comparisons, because the integrity of a league in bed with gambling entities depends entirely on players not being able to influence outcomes. The big question heading into the season is whether Big Ten and SEC schools threatening to boycott Texas Tech actually have the leverage to force Sorsby out, or if television money makes those threats completely hollow.

Is being single actually lonely… or are we just taught to fear it? In this deeply honest solo episode, Reed opens up about the messy, liberating, emotional rollercoaster of single life — from dodgy dates and incredible seggs to heartbreak, healing, k'nk exploration and learning how to stop losing yourself in relationships. Expect candid chats about:

When God met with Israel at Mt Sinai. He established a relationship of a type that had never existed before. He asked for their consent to the relationship - other 'gods' and rulers had simply taken power. He spoke to everyone, not just the elite - before only the adept were initiated into the mysteries of their gods. He told them all what He expected, not just a small occult group. This relationship became the model for the American Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Nudity on TV doesn't seem to be such a big deal these days, as Commisún na Mean rejected a complaint in relation to a movie aired on RTÉ on a Sunday afternoon, where there was a brief glimpse of a naked woman.

When Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, researchers estimated it would cut U.S. carbon pollution by more than 40% by the mid-2030s. Then President Trump and a GOP majority partially repealed the law, and many of those emissions declines looked doubtful. What will U.S. carbon emissions look like after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act?We're starting to get a sense. On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob talks with John Bistline and Ryna Cui about a new paper they coauthored modeling the Inflation Reduction Act and One Big Beautiful Bill Act's combined effects. Bistline is the head of science at Watershed and a former researcher at the Electric Power Research Institute.

Along the banks of the Clark Fork River, students are identifying all kinds of “macro-invertebrates” — aka, bugs — that live in the river. The data is one clue scientists use to determine the health of a watershed, along with other indicators like appearance and chemical makeup.

Send us Fan MailWe hand Watershed the keys and let Ryan Venrick run our first distillery-led blind tasting, and we learn fast that we're not as good at guessing as we think. The reveals turn into a real lesson on slow water reduction, finishing choices, and how Watershed is reshaping Ohio bourbon from the barrel up. • Ryan's career path from bottling line to blending and barrel management • Why Watershed's bourbon portfolio changed after the mash bill shift • Blind tasting format and why pairing samples exposes process differences • Apple brandy finish side-by-side with crash dilution vs slow reduction • How slow water reduction affects mouthfeel, perceived proof, and flavor • Bottled-in-bond vs toasted bourbon and what “toasted” is meant to add • Uncut Unfiltered Batch 7 reveal and why proof placement matters in tastings • Nochino finished bourbon and the labor of harvesting unripe walnuts • The elevage program and why only a small number of distilleries do it • Watershed closing the restaurant and building new on-site experiences • What's coming next: OHLQ single barrels, fall finishes, maple finale, Japan tease • Blending philosophy: start with a base then shape with “one trick pony” barrels www dot scotchyburbonboys.com for all things scotchy bourbon boys make sure you check us out we've got glenn's we've got t-shirts we've got bourbon balls and then make sure you follow us on facebook instagram youtube and axon along with apple iheart and spotify and anywhere else you listen or watch us no matter what make sure you leave good feedback become a member definitely support us in any way that you can and support the brands that we bring on like when you see these brands support them support ohio support whoever it is but because support them because good bourbon equals good friends and good times don't drink and drive drink responsibly and live your life uncut and unfiltered Crash dilute or slow reduce, can you actually taste the difference? We bring on Ryan from Watershed and hand him full control of a five-pour blind tasting built to show where Watershed has been and where their bourbon is headed. The curveball: two glasses are the exact same apple brandy finished whiskey at the exact same proof, but diluted two different ways. Once you hear what's happening in those barrels, you'll never think about proofing water the same way again.From there we work through the lineup and put names to what our palates are telling us: a core Bottled-in-Bond, a limited toasted bourbon done with a short, targeted finish, and a final punchy reveal that lands at 123 proof with Uncut Unfiltered Batch 7. Along the way we get into the real “why” behind mouthfeel, perceived heat, oak extraction, and how slow water reduction can preserve flavor compounds and create a more cohesive pour. If you love blind tastings, barrel finishes, and nerdy whiskey process talk that stays practical, this one delivers.We also zoom out to the bigger story of Ohio whiskey. Ryan shares how Watershed is building an elevage-style program, why scaling techniques like slow reduction is hard, and what's next as they invest in better visitor experiences like a blending class and a bottle-your-own option. We talk upcoming OHLQ single barrels, the fall finishing series, and why the maple finish is designed for balance, not syrup.Subscribe, share this with a bourbon friend who swears they can always call Add for SOFL If You Have GohstsSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.comThe Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world    https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

Kristin Schultheis is a senior project planner at the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District. And that likely conjures images of urban areas, working across the biggest city in Wisconsin. And that would be accurate. But Schultheis' work encompasses a much larger area than the city proper with challenges and opportunities that extend into the surrounding rural areas and even active farmland. In episode 189 of ASCE Plot Points, Schultheis talks with guest hosts Brianne Duncan and Wendy Cohen of the ASCE Environmental and Water Resources Institute's Environmental Health and Water Quality Committee.

Hungarians are voting Sunday in an election that could bring down long-serving Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and have significant repercussions for the rest of Europe, the US and Russia. Most polls favor Péter Magyar, who formed a grassroots party after splitting from the ruling Fidesz party, but the night before the vote Orbán was in defiant mood. "We are going to achieve such a victory that will surprise everyone, perhaps even ourselves," he told several thousand supporters in a small square on Budapest's Castle Hill.

This week on Come Curious, Florence and Reed are coming to you from opposite sides of the world — one in Thailand, one in California — juggling time zones, baby prep, and a whole lot of life. It's a proper catch-up episode filled with everything from near-medical emergencies to unexpected romance, body changes, and facing fears head-on. Reed shares the scary reality of getting seriously ill while travelling and how it forced her to confront some long-standing health anxieties. What started as a terrifying experience turned into something unexpectedly empowering — and a reminder to always listen to your body. Meanwhile, Florence opens up about being in the final stretch of pregnancy — the highs, the discomforts, and the surprising sense of connection and “goddess energy” that comes with growing a human. She also shares how intimacy and relationships shift during this time, and what it really looks like behind the scenes. Of course, it wouldn't be Come Curious without a bit of chaos — from rekindled connections and new dating stories abroad to niche kinks popping up in unexpected places. This episode is a mix of funny, vulnerable, and deeply human moments — the kind that remind you life (and sex, and love) rarely goes to plan.

Leila Philip at the Hubbard Brook watershed discusses how beavers act as a keystone species that aids environmental recovery, challenging the necessity of lethal culling given modern non-lethal management options. She notes that beaver complexes actually increase trout and salmon populations and provide millions of dollars in free ecosystem engineering services.1892
