I almost didn't record this week. We lost Josh Baer — Capital Factory's founder, the godfather of the Austin startup community, and honestly one of the few people who showed the rest of us this work could actually be done, and done right. Then we turn the corner toward the Portland dream that refuses to die: Devin Gaffney's CoCore, an "Airbnb for compute" rebuilt on AT Proto — the same rails as Bluesky — picking up a thread CPUsage chased here back in 2011. From there we get to Quickish, where you drop a folder of HTML and get a live URL in seconds — I used it myself to park a countdown clock to Silicon Florist's 20th birthday. And we close on CodeTV, Jason Lengstorf's coder reality show pitting two human dev teams against an AI on the same prompt.

Inside Milford - Weekly Roundup Ep6 Week Ending June 19th by Granite Town Media

A review of the week's major US international tax-related news. In this edition:  US congressional Republicans weigh budget reconciliation 3.0 options – US confident of Pillar Two side-by-side agreement, Pillar One is dead – OECD opens public consultation on digital platform tax information exchange – OECD to release copper transfer pricing toolkit.

This week's update illustrates a global landscape rapidly transforming under the influence of artificial intelligence, highlighting both its innovative potential and significant societal risks. Surveillance capabilities are expanding through SignalTrace, which links vehicle data to personal electronics, while military navigation increasingly relies on spatial data harvested from mobile gaming. Within the workforce, professionals are navigating a "botsitting" paradox where productivity gains are often offset by the labor of managing AI errors and oversight. Simultaneously, the educational sector faces a crisis as reliance on digital tools correlates with a measurable decline in students' reading comprehension and attention spans. Security concerns are also intensifying, evidenced by CISA's new mandates for faster software patching to counter automated cyberattacks. Ultimately, these reports suggest that the true challenge of the AI era lies in managing data correlation and organizational adaptation rather than just technical advancement.

 Episode 296. In this week's update:Your license plate reader just got an upgrade, and now it wants to know what's in your pocket, too.The government finally admitted what security pros have been saying for years: AI means you have three days to patch, not three months.AI adoption went from 'we're running a pilot' to 'we're running the business,'  and nobody sent a memo.Workers are saving 11 hours a week to AI, then spending six of those hours babysitting the AI  and someone had to invent a word for that.Microsoft's AI chief said AI would automate most white-collar work, then clarified he meant 'tasks'  and that one-word swap changes everything.Meta dropped $14 billion on AI talent, shipped its first proprietary model, and is now discovering that building the thing and selling the thing are completely different jobs.A UK police officer allegedly used AI to fabricate evidence, and this isn't the first time British law enforcement has had an AI problem.Pokémon Go players spent years scanning the world for virtual creatures, and that data is now helping real drones navigate without GPS.This has been a week where the gap between what AI promises and what AI actually delivers has become very interesting to look at from the factory floor to the courtroom to the battlefield. Some stories are alarming. Some are clarifying. A few are genuinely strange. Let's get recognized.Find the full transcript to this podcast here.

Headlines were moving the markets in a big way this week! How so? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!

The week starts with Dwayne Johnson's "The Red Pill" — the most honest structural diagnosis of Oregon's innovation economy I've read in years, from someone who's been inside the system for two decades, not outside it. Oregon fell from #7 to #41 in CNBC's Top States for Business across the Brown era; Oregon got second in semiconductor productivity and 0.002% of federal CHIPS R&D funds. His phrase: "Oregon runs on cliques, not networks." Then Friday, Engine's Innovation Flywheel report lands — four dimensions for a healthy innovation ecosystem, three of which Portland already has covered, and one — Center of Gravity — that's the exact tripwire Dwayne was pointing at. Plus Expensify ships an MCP server that lets your AI agent talk directly to your expense data, Missing Middle Housing Fund's Nate Wildfire joins the Housing Voices podcast, and Portland moves up five spots to #17 in the Financial Times ranking of best U.S. cities for foreign business — Boston at the top, Seattle slipping.CHAPTERS:00:00 Portland startup news04:15 Dwayne Johnson on Portland's archipelago 08:20 Engine's Innovation Flywheel14:10 Financial Times ranks Oregon #1716:17 SecretsLINKS:Long-time innovation ecosystem builder Dwayne Johnson — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/08/long-time-innovation-ecosystem-builder-dwayne-johnson-shares-insights-on-oregon-economic-woes/Dwayne Johnson on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/drfortune/Your AI agent can now talk to your expense data with the new Expensify MCP — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/08/your-ai-agent-can-now-talk-to-your-expense-data-with-the-new-expensify-mcp/Expensify MCP — https://expensify.com/mcpPortland's Missing Middle Housing Fund joins Housing Voices — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/08/portlands-missing-middle-housing-fund-joins-housing-voices/Missing Middle Housing Fund — https://www.missingmiddlehousing.fund/Portland moves up five spots in Financial Times "best US places for foreign businesses" — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/09/portland-moves-up-five-spots-in-financial-times-best-us-places-for-foreign-businesses/FT-Nikkei ranking — https://www.ft.com/content/3fb85af1-d581-4f43-b962-a1d79160cdecUsing Engine's "Innovation Flywheel" to benefit the Portland startup community — https://siliconflorist.com/2026/06/12/using-engines-innovation-flywheel-to-benefit-the-portland-startup-community/The Foundations of an Innovation Flywheel (Engine) — https://www.engine.is/news/category/the-foundations-of-an-innovation-flywheelApply to lead the Portland Metro Region Innovation Hub https://jobs.hrc.pdx.edu/postings/49951FIND RICK TUROCZY ON THE INTERNET AT…- https://patreon.com/turoczy- https://linkedin.com/in/turoczyABOUT SILICON FLORIST ----------For nearly two decades, Rick Turoczy has published Silicon Florist, a blog, newsletter, and podcast that covers entrepreneurs, founders, startups, entrepreneurship, tech, news, and events in the Portland, Oregon, startup community.

BV counts down the biggest sound bites in the land for the week ending June 11, 2026 on this edition Van Jones, Kristen Welker and JD Vance on America's Top Sound Bites on News Radio KKOBSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A review of the week's major US international tax-related news. In this edition:  President Trump signs budget reconciliation 2.0 bill, calls for 3.0 – House tax writing committee holds digital tax hearing – US Tax Court rules on cryptocurrency staking awards – OECD IF issues guidance on GloBE information return electronic form.

This week we highlight the dual-natured impact of artificial intelligence on global security, privacy, and administrative productivity. On the defensive side, tools like Google's Gemini are blocking billions of fraudulent ads, while the NHS is deploying Microsoft Copilot to drastically reduce clinical paperwork. Conversely, bad actors are leveraging AI-driven phishing to compromise digital assets and developing adaptive malware that can reason through system defenses. Serious privacy concerns also emerge, evidenced by Meta's controversial development of facial recognition for smart glasses and the misuse of automated license plate readers by law enforcement. Additionally, the reports detail how nation-state actors use professional networks like LinkedIn for espionage and how criminals exploit autonomous transit for physical crimes. Ultimately, the collection suggests that as AI becomes a central pillar of modern life, the most critical security skill is the ability to verify identity in an increasingly deceptive digital landscape.

In this week's update:The NHS is about to hand half a million clinicians an AI assistant for their paperwork - and the question isn't whether it will work, it's whether healthcare will ever look the same again.An innocent man spent a month behind bars because an AI license plate reader put him in two places at once - and the cameras that could have cleared him were right there the whole time.China's military intelligence services have quietly turned LinkedIn into a recruitment tool, and the side gig that seemed too good to be true may be the most expensive mistake of your career.Anthropic spent a year watching how criminals actually use AI, and what they found is less about catastrophe and more about something far more unsettling: amplification.Researchers just demonstrated an AI-powered worm that doesn't just exploit weaknesses - it reasons, adapts, and chooses its own attack path in real time.Meta removed a facial recognition system from its smart glasses app this week - a system that, according to Meta, did not yet exist.A San Francisco burglar used a Waymo robotaxi as a getaway car, and between deleted footage and blurred faces, the case is still wide open months later.Hidden inside the GPS signal that guides every phone, every ship, and every missile on the planet, a researcher just found something the military has been quietly broadcasting for nearly two decades.Welcome back, everyone. This week, we are taking you from a British hospital corridor to a San Diego courtroom, from LinkedIn's shadowy recruitment pipeline to the hidden depths of a GPS signal that billions of people use every single day. Buckle up - this one covers the full spectrum, from the bureaucratic to the alarming to the genuinely mind-bending. Find the full transcript to this podcast here.

Re-running Summer of Trinity, this time with episodes released at the start of their respective weeks rather than the end.  Just for a different perspective. June 10 to June 16, 1945   This is Summer of Trinity, for the week ending Saturday June 16, 1945.   Sunday, June 10,1945 - 36 Days Before Trinity It's the 71st day of the Battle of Okinawa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_William_D._Porter_(DD-579) Monday, June 11,1945 - 35 Days Before Trinity It's the 72nd day of the Battle of Okinawa   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Miles_McCool Tuesday, June 12,1945 - 34 Days Before Trinity It is the 73rd day of the Battle of Okinawa.   General Eisenhower receives the "Freedom of the City" at London's Guildhall. This symbolic act, with seven hundred years of history behind it, makes him "a citizen of the city." https://www.nps.gov/articles/general-eisenhower.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franck_Report       Wednesday, June 13,1945 - 33 Days Before Trinity It is the 74th day of the Battle of Okinawa.   Thursday, June 14,1945 - 32 Days Before Trinity It is the 75th day of the Battle of Okinawa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Inmate    Friday, June 15,1945 - 31 Days Before Trinity It is the 76th day of the Battle of Okinawa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calutron (How they enriched U-235 for Little Boy) https://www.atomicheritage.org/history/science-behind-atom-bomb   Saturday, June 16,1945 - 30 Days Before Trinity It's the 77th day of the Battle of Okinawa.    The Science Panel, headed by Robert Oppenheimer, and also including Enrico Fermi, Ernest O. Lawrence and Arthur H. Compton, gives the following report, classified Top Secret, to the Interim Committee: The report is titled "RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE IMMEDIATE USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS" and begins as follows: [Note to self - some emphasis included here to assist in reading as a script, but there's no font differences in the original.] You have asked us to comment on the initial use of the new weapon. This use, in our opinion, should be such as to promote a satisfactory adjustment of our international relations. At the same time, we recognize our obligation to our nation to use the weapons to help save American lives in the Japanese war. (1) To accomplish these ends we recommend that before the weapons are used not only Britain, but also Russia, France, and China be advised that we have made considerable progress in our work on atomic weapons, that these may be ready to use during the present war, and that we would welcome suggestions as to how we can cooperate in making this development contribute to improved international relations. (2) The opinions of scientific colleagues on the initial use of these weapons are not unanimous; they range from the proposal of a purely technical demonstration to that of the military application best designed to induce surrender. Those who advocate a purely technical demonstration would wish to outlaw the use of atomic weapons, and have feared that if we use the weapons now our position in future negotiations will be prejudiced. Others emphasize the opportunity of saving American lives by immediate military use, and believe that such use will improve the international prospects, in that they are more concerned with the prevention of war than with the elimination of this specific weapon. We find ourselves closer to these latter views; we can propose no technical demonstration likely to bring an end to the war; we see no acceptable alternative to direct military use. (3) With regard to these general aspects of the use of atomic energy, it is clear that we, as scientific men, have no proprietary rights. It is true that we are among the few citizens who have had occasion to give thoughtful consideration to these problems during the past few years. We have, however, no claim to special competence in solving the political, social, and military problems which are presented by the advent of atomic power.   The report is signed by Robert Oppenheimer, with the note "for the panel" https://www.atomicarchive.com/resources/documents/manhattan-project/interim-committee.html   As this week ends, the Trinity atomic bomb test has not yet been scheduled. However, it is exactly 30 days away.    Summer of Trinity is a part of Mapping History here on The Latest Generation.

A review of the week's major US international tax-related news. In this edition:  US Senate approves budget reconciliation 2.0 bill – US Treasury Secretary testifies before congressional tax writing committees – House Ways and Means Committee to hold hearing on digital taxation on 9 June – USTR proposes additional ad valorem tariffs on 60 US trading partners – OECD releases public consultation draft on transfer pricing intra-group services.

This deep dive explores the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and its profound impact on global cybersecurity and infrastructure. Sources detail the dual nature of AI, highlighting its ability to uncover thousands of software vulnerabilities while simultaneously creating new risks through manipulated support bots and accelerated exploitation timelines. Beyond software, the text addresses physical security threats to undersea data cables and the potential repurposing of Cold War-era plutonium for private energy startups. Technical breakthroughs like certified quantum randomness and new browser-based spying techniques underscore a shifting digital perimeter where traditional trust models are failing. Furthermore, the economic reality of this shift is visible in Anthropic's massive valuation, new usage-based AI pricing, and the unexpected role of remote work in sidelining junior talent. These developments suggest a future where automated containment and government oversight are becoming essential responses to the speed of algorithmic threats.

Episode 294. For this week's update:The Trust Problem Nobody Has Solved. The AI verification problem isn't a bug to be patched; it's a structural flaw baked into the architecture of trust itself.  It's like asking a child to set their own bed time.Forget cookies and trackers, a website can now read your entire digital life from the rhythm of your hard drive.Meta's AI support bot did exactly what it was designed to do, and that turned out to be the problem.While the security world chases sophisticated threats, Google quietly closed one of the oldest and most exploited doors in session management.ETH Zurich researchers have done something cryptographers have wanted for decades produced randomness that the laws of physics themselves will guarantee forever.The generation entering the workforce during the remote-work era may be carrying a career penalty they didn't earn and can't yet see.The Software Industry Exhales  For Now. Wall Street spent a year writing software's obituary, and this month the patient sat up, ordered lunch, and posted its best returns since the dot-com era.GitHub just handed its most enthusiastic AI users their first real bill, and for many, the number is somewhere between shocking and career-defining.OK, let's tuck in!Find the full transcript to this podcast here.

Episode 293 A two-week shoot, a half-million dollar budget, and not a single human behind the camera, welcome to the future of Hollywood.This year at Cannes, the most talked-about presence on the Croisette wasn't a movie star; it was artificial intelligence.The Cloud Security Alliance is sounding the alarm on a new breed of AI system that doesn't just answer questions, it takes action, on its own, across your entire digital infrastructure.GitHub just confirmed that roughly 3,800 internal repositories were compromised, and the attacker didn't need a zero-day exploit, just a poisoned developer tool your engineers trust every single day.Google API Keys: Here's a question every incident responder needs to answer: if you delete a compromised credential and the attacker keeps using it for the next twenty-three minutes, did you actually stop the breach?The same AI technology making phishing attacks more convincing may also be our best shot at catching them, and this week, a listener's inbox put that to the test.Spotify and Universal Music Group just agreed to let fans remix their favorite songs using AI, and for the music industry, it's the clearest sign yet that the question is no longer whether this happens, but who controls it when it does.In a spring full of AI doomsday commencement speeches, Steve Wozniak walked onto a stage in Michigan and reminded a room full of nervous graduates that they already carry the most powerful intelligence in the room.Welcome back, everyone. We're glad you're here for Episode 293 of the AI, Privacy, and Security Weekly Update. It's May 26th, 2026, and this week we are going big.

This week Chris goes over the School Board, Planning Board, and Zoning Board meetings and has special guest Community Development Director Kyle Finnell on to go a little more indepth and talk about upcoming projects.

This update highlights a deteriorating security landscape where human error and advanced technology intersect to create significant digital risks. Critical infrastructure faces threats from sensitive credential leaks at federal agencies and the discovery of unpatched Windows zero-day exploits released by disgruntled researchers. Simultaneously, the rise of artificial intelligence is transforming both offense and defense, enabling experts to bypass modern hardware security in record time while overwhelming open-source maintainers with automated bug reports. Governments are responding by expanding surveillance capabilities, seeking nationwide access to vehicle tracking data and using AI to police financial markets. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions have shifted toward digital choke points, with nations like Iran threatening the physical cables that underpin global internet connectivity. These shifts occur alongside corporate instability, evidenced by mass layoffs at Meta and legal friction between major tech partners over AI integration.
