What happens when the president tells pregnant patients to “tough it out” instead of taking Tylenol? And why are accomplished physicians standing on stage making claims that don't hold up to the evidence? This week I'm diving into the mess of misinformation, the dangers it creates, and the patients who end up paying the price. Then, to balance the outrage with some ophthalmology, I'm taking you deep into two of the rarest optic nerve disorders, one I've seen once, and one I've never seen at all. Takeaways: Why the Tylenol-autism press conference might go down as a low point for science in politics. The real risks when misinformation changes how patients manage pain and fever. A haunting case of posterior ischemic optic neuropathy that still sticks with me. Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy: how mitochondria and genetics can suddenly take your vision. Why gene therapy might finally give us hope for inherited eye diseases and why you should never tell a patient there's “nothing we can do.” — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Scientists detect for the first time an unknown source of GPS interference coming from space. Also, as AI begins to design more and more DNA sequences being manufactured synthetically, how can those manufacturers be sure that what their customers are asking for will not produce toxic proteins or lethal weapons? And… how camera traps in polish forests reveal that the big bad wolf is more scared of humans than anything else. For that last few years instances of deliberate jamming and interference of GNSS signals has become an expected feature of the wars the world is suffering. Yet this disruption of the signals that all of us use to navigate and tell the time nearly always emanate from devices on the ground, or maybe in the air. But in ongoing research reported recently by Todd Humphreys of University of Texas at Austin and colleagues around the world is beginning to reveal that since 2019 an intermittent yet powerful signal has been causing GPS failures across Europe and the North Atlantic. The episodes have been thankfully brief so far, but all the signs suggest it comes not from soldiers or aeroplanes, but from a distantly orbiting satellite somewhere over the Baltic Sea. It may not be malevolent, it could be a fault, but the net of suspicion is tightening. A team of scientists including some from Microsoft report today in a paper in the journal Science an investigation to try to strengthen the vetting of synthetic DNA requests around the world. As AI-designed sequencies increase in number and application, the factories that produce the bespoke DNA are in danger of making and supplying potentially dangerous sequences to customers with malicious intents. But how do you spot the bad proteins out of the almost infinite possible DNA recipes? Tessa Alexanian of the International Biosecurity and Biosafety Initiative for Science, and one of the authors explains some of the thinking. Finally, Liana Zanette of Western University in Ontario and colleagues have been hanging around in Polish forests scaring wolves. Why? Because as wolf numbers rise in protected reserves, more and more human-wolf interactions occur. And a suspicion has arisen that the legal protection they enjoy has led to them losing their fear of humans in a dangerous way. Not so, says Liana's team, blowing away the straw arguments and setting fire to the political motivation to reduce their protection status. Wolves are still terrified of Nature's apex predator – us.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I examine how Christian Klein's stance could shift the entire European tech economy away from imitation toward AI-driven transformationHighlights00:20 — A few months ago a lot of countries within Europe were saying, “What we need to do is build hyperscalers to match the ones based in the U.S.” Now, SAP CEO Christian Klein stood up and said, “That's nuts. Let's not do that. There's a very different way to go on this.” And over the past few weeks, we've seen some significant investments coming from SAP.01:12 — The investments are great, and all those ideals about wanting to have data privacy, data security, all valid in the AI Revolution. What really stood out here, more than these investments, was: think about what might have happened had the European Union spent trillions of dollars to keep up with the hyperscalers.02:10 — SAP has a whole new plan for the sovereign cloud. Its Executive Board Member Thomas Saueressig has been involved in this. He said, “We want to have a sovereign cloud that gives the greatest safeguards and compliance to customers, and also gives them a great deal of choice. We want to keep this open for lots of partners to work with us.” But that's the direction it's taking. 03:13 — So, we've got SAP pledging to invest, over the next few years, $22 billion in its sovereign cloud. Just the other day, I noted something about how Oracle, Microsoft, and OpenAI—now it's about a trillion dollars that they're pumping into these AI data centers. That's really not the place for the European economy to go. And I give Christian Klein credit:.04:14 —SAP partner AWS has now pledged about $8.5 billion for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. I also thought it was interesting that SAP Chief Technology Officer Philipp Herzig came said, “We've got cloud sovereignty, we've got data sovereignty—now we need to be sure that SAP is a leader in AI sovereignty.”05:00 — So, fascinating time here on the technology front. I think SAP is going to continue to do very well with its sovereign cloud efforts. But I think even more than that, its CEO, Christian Klein, really stood out. He did a great service by getting them off of this idea of imitating what's already been done. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore Microsoft's new Facilitator Agent in Teams and how it's quietly revolutionizing meeting collaboration through agentic AI.Highlights00:07 — Microsoft has added a Facilitator Agent to Teams. This new agent can create agendas, take notes, help keep discussions on track, create follow-ups, and even pressure-test discussion points. There's a difference between this agent and other note-taking and summarization tools already available. The Facilitator Agent participates in the discussion, as a silent partner.00:41 — It can alert users when time is running out and ensure that participants don't stray too far from the core discussion points. It can even answer open-ended questions during a chat.Now, as someone who has a lot of online meetings, I can really see the benefits here — not only from a time management and efficiency perspective, but also from a collaborative standpoint. 01:22 — It's important to highlight innovations like these that, at first glance, don't seem particularly new or exciting — especially when we think we already have the capabilities that they are presenting at our fingertips. Instead, this demonstrates the incremental progress happening in the agentic AI space. It's encouraging to see refinement in core use cases. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

New insights from Microsoft Ireland reveal Ireland's workforce is navigating a period of transformation. The Microsoft Ireland Work Trend Index 2025 is based on a nationally representative survey of 1,000 Irish workers, conducted annually as part of a general population study, ensuring a demographic balance year-on-year. The results show that AI is emerging as a career catalyst, while job turnover hits a record? 38%, according to the respondents who took part in the survey,?while workplace satisfaction trends marginally downward. With AI adoption up 27% year-on-year, 41% of workers say it helps them work smarter. Half (50%) believe AI skills are critically important to remain competitive in the job market, while 54% say having these skills will broaden their job opportunities. Additionally, 40% believe knowing how to use AI at work will help them get promoted faster, and 34% say AI has made them consider other career paths. Yet, this optimism is tempered by uneven access and training gaps, with over half of workers calling for structured or employer-led AI training to help speed adoption. A Workforce in Flux and Under Pressure - Employees call for Balance Despite 57% of workers seeing opportunities for growth within their current roles, Ireland's labour market is in motion. Based on the survey results, turnover has surged from 19% in 2023 to 38% in 2025, positioning Ireland as a market with significant talent volatility. This churn underscores the importance of investing in retention strategies that empower employees to thrive by supporting their well-being, balance, and growth, which in turn help organisations to remain resilient in a rapidly changing workplace. Ireland's workforce trends align with global insights that highlight how emotional strains are compounded by the realities of today's workday, where digital overload and constant interruptions challenge even the most flexible environments. Linking this workforce feedback to Microsoft's global telemetry, a picture emerges showing the modern workday is increasingly distracted. Workers are interrupted every two minutes or 275 times per day, receive 117 emails daily, and spend 57% of meetings in unscheduled sessions. AI Eases Employee Strain - But Wider Access and Training is Required AI offers a practical remedy, helping employees manage their workload, reduce stress, and focus on higher-value tasks. It is increasingly seen as a solution to workplace pressure, with 91% of users in Ireland saying it improves the quality of their work. Additionally, 34% of workers say AI has made them reconsider their career path, highlighting its influence on professional ambition and future career opportunities. However, AI use remains uneven: · Board-level executives: 91% use AI at work · Non-managers: Only 39% use AI at work (versus 66% of managers) · Gender imbalance: 63% of men versus 47% of women use AI at work · Generational usage: 55% of Gen Z (18-24) use AI at work, compared with 62% of younger millennials (25-34), 59% of older millennials (35-44), 47% of Gen X (45-54), and 48% of Boomers (55-64). These disparities raise concerns about who has access to AI tools and benefits from them, and who risks being left behind. Lower engagement with AI could limit opportunities for efficiency and relief from routine tasks, potentially exacerbating stress levels for employees under pressure. It's perhaps no surprise, therefore, that over half (61%) of Irish workers are calling for structured AI training, saying their employer could support adoption by offering more training either in-house or through external providers, and 47% believe they should be given more time to research AI independently. Commenting on the alignment between Irish trends and the broader global perspective, Microsoft Ireland General Manager, Catherine Doyle said: "Ireland is at a turning point. As AI transforms the world of work, Irish employees and employers are navigating rapid change and new opportunities. The me...

Some things in healthcare are forgivable mistakes. This wasn't one of them. Kristin and I dive into the shocking story of a group of healthcare workers who thought it was a good idea to post exam-room paper from pelvic exams online. Spoiler: they're not working in medicine anymore. But the fallout reveals something bigger, the fragile state of public trust in doctors and what happens when we keep shooting ourselves in the foot on social media. From trust erosion to the silent majority who never comment but always scroll, from a VIP invite to a hallucinogenic retreat in Spain (yes, really), all the way to an impromptu crash course on antihistamines, you'll see how one bad decision sparks a conversation that medicine can't afford to ignore. Takeaways: The Social Media Disaster – Why one group of healthcare workers instantly lost their careers. Trust is Everything – The word medicine should focus on for the next decade. The Silent Majority – Why the people who don't comment may matter most online. Ayahuasca VIP Invite – The bizarre email that landed in my inbox.

The episode starts with the passage of California's groundbreaking AI transparency law, marking the first legislation in the United States that mandates large AI companies to disclose their safety protocols and provide whistleblower protections. This law applies to major AI labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, requiring them to report critical safety incidents to California's Office of Emergency Services and ensure safety for communities while promoting AI growth. This regulation is a clear signal that the compliance wave surrounding AI is real, with California leading the charge in shaping the future of AI governance.The second story delves into a new cybersecurity risk in the form of the first known malicious Model Context Protocol (MCP) server discovered in the wild. A rogue npm package, "postmark-mcp," was found to be forwarding email data to an external address, exposing sensitive communications. This incident raises concerns about the security of software supply chains and highlights how highly trusted systems like MCP servers are being exploited. Service providers are urged to be vigilant, as this attack marks the emergence of a new vulnerability within increasingly complex software environments.Moving to Microsoft, the company is revamping its Marketplace to introduce stricter partner rules and enhanced discoverability for partner solutions. Microsoft's new initiative, Intune for MSPs, aims to address the needs of managed service providers who have long struggled with multi-tenancy management. Additionally, the company's new "Agent Mode" in Excel and Word promises to streamline productivity by automating tasks but has raised concerns over its accuracy. Despite the potential, Microsoft's tightening ecosystem requires careful navigation for both customers and partners, with compliance and risk management being central to successful engagement.Finally, Broadcom's decision to end support for VMware vSphere 7 has left customers with difficult decisions. As part of Broadcom's transition to a subscription-based model, customers face either costly upgrades, cloud migrations, or reliance on third-party support. Gartner predicts that a significant number of VMware customers will migrate to the cloud in the coming years, and this shift presents a valuable opportunity for service providers to act as trusted advisors in guiding clients through the transition. For those who can manage the complexity of this migration, there's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to capture long-term customer loyalty. Three things to know today00:00 California Enacts Nation's First AI Transparency Law, Mandating Safety Disclosures and Whistleblower Protections05:25 First Malicious MCP Server Discovered, Exposing Email Data and Raising New Software Supply Chain Fears07:16 Microsoft's New Playbook: Stricter Marketplace, Finally Some MSP Love, and AI That's Right Only Half the Time11:07 VMware Customers Face Subscription Shift, Rising Cloud Moves, and Risky Alternatives as Broadcom Ends vSphere 7 This is the Business of Tech.   Supported by: https://scalepad.com/dave/https://mailprotector.com/ Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

No Contract, No Coffee Pledge: https://starbucksworkersunited.controlshift.app/petitions/no-contract-no-coffee-pledge-to-act-in-solidarity-with-starbucks-workers-united We're back at full strength as John returns this week, and it was a busy one! We start with headlines from Microsoft, Apple, Volkswagen, Aricell, RISE, Northwell Health, Oklahoma Public Schools, Spirit Airlines, and Starbucks. In a wild story from friend of the show Claudia Irizarry Aponte at The City, managers at Brooklyn Defender Services tried to bribe workers to replace the UAW with a company union. We've got an update on the continuing mobilization of Italian workers in solidarity with Palestine, as dockworkers from around Europe pledge efforts to coordinate. Teamsters at the University of Minnesota brilliantly used their leverage to win the first strike in their history. Canada Post workers are on strike once again, this time as the Liberal government launches attempts to gut postal service nationwide. Finally, in the spirit of many recent worker uprisings, we check in on the struggle in Ecuador, where Indigenous-led movements are fighting IMF austerity.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Dwight Hutchins, Senior Managing Director of Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and a Northwestern Adjunct Professor, previously Managing Director at Accenture focused on Consumer Products, Health Care and Public Service. Dwight shares his thinking on why marketers should be prepared to reduce expenses and shift resources into a re-imagined future versus incrementally evolving spend and structure. Key topics include: his belief that the complexity of marketing has resulted in many instances of wasted spending; the importance of "unaided first brand response;" why it's important to be "ahead of the expense reduction game;" and how to focus on working versus non-working dollars. Tune in to hear how about reducing $1B in spend to fund new initiatives and a "wild west" story about a battery on-pack promotion.The Fine Art of Reducing Marketing Expense in an AI WorldThis week on CMO Confidential, Mike Linton sits down with Dwight Hutchins—Senior Partner & Managing Director at Boston Consulting Group and adjunct professor at Northwestern—to tackle the question every CMO hears from the CFO: “Keep the top line growing… and cut your budget.”Dwight explains how to find waste without hurting performance, where AI actually improves efficiency (and where it doesn't), how to test into cuts with confidence, and why many brands still miss “sufficiency” by spreading spend like peanut butter. We dig into frequency capping, working vs. non-working ratios, zero-based budgeting (used sanely), org design, insource vs. outsource, and a real-world case where a company freed up billions and redeployed it to growth channels.

SummaryIn this episode of the Blue Security Podcast, hosts Andy Jaw and Adam Brewer delve into the topic of Kerberosting, a known attack method that exploits weaknesses in the Kerberos authentication protocol, particularly focusing on the vulnerabilities associated with RC4 encryption. They discuss a recent letter from Senator Ron Wyden addressing the implications of these vulnerabilities in the context of a significant ransomware breach in the healthcare sector. The conversation covers the basics of RC4 encryption, the mechanics of Kerberosting attacks, and the necessary mitigations organizations should implement to protect against these threats. Additionally, they highlight Microsoft's Secure Future Initiative, which aims to prioritize security in its products and services, and the ongoing challenges of balancing security with legacy compatibility. The episode concludes with actionable takeaways for listeners to enhance their cybersecurity posture.----------------------------------------------------YouTube Video Link: ⁠⁠⁠----------------------------------------------------Documentation:https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/09/senator-blasts-microsoft-for-making-default-windows-vulnerable-to-kerberoasting/https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2024/10/11/microsofts-guidance-to-help-mitigate-kerberoasting/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/SecurityAdvisories/2013/2868725----------------------------------------------------Contact Us:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bluesecuritypod.comBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bluesecuritypod.comLinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/bluesecpodYouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/BlueSecurityPodcast-----------------------------------------------------------Andy JawBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ajawzero.comLinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyjaw/Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠andy@bluesecuritypod.com⁠----------------------------------------------------Adam BrewerTwitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ajbrewerLinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamjbrewer/Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠adam@bluesecuritypod.com

Cette semaine je lance un nouveau format premium pour le RDV Tech ! Chaque trimestre je vous proposerai un épisode qui fera un état des lieux des grandes tendances de l'industrie et de ce que je vois dans ma veille, à l'horizon de quelques mois ou de l'année plutôt que celui du quotidien ou de la semaine. L'idée est de fournir une vision complémentaire de l'actu, qui vous permettra de mieux appréhender les évolutions réelles de l'industrie, ainsi que la manière dont elles influencent nos sociétés. A trop avoir la tête dans le guidon, on peut rater un bus qui déboule, pourrait-on dire. :)Au programme :Les grandes tendances :Autonomie stratégique (disponible pour tous)Contrôle de l'âge sur Internet (réservé aux patreotes)Montée en puissance de l'IA (réservé aux patreotes)Tendances émergeantes (réservé aux patreotes)Infos :Animé par Patrick Beja (Bluesky, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok).Produit par Patrick Beja (LinkedIn) et Fanny Cohen Moreau (LinkedIn).Musique libre de droit par Daniel BejaLe Rendez-vous Tech épisode 634 – État des Lieux – sept 2025---Liens :
