🎉 New Episode of An Analog Brain In A Digital Age Podcast
I had a great conversation with Pablos Holman about his latest Book: Deep Future: Creating Technology That Matters.
If you've ever looked at the latest viral app, the newest AI chatbot, or the tenth version of a ride-hailing startup — and thought, is this really the best we can do? — this conversation is for you.
Pablos Holman has built spaceships, developed a laser that kills malaria-carrying mosquitoes in midair, earned thousands of patents, and is now funding the inventors Silicon Valley never bothered to back.
His new book, Deep Future: Creating Technology That Matters, draws a line most people in tech don't want to look at: all the software companies in the world, combined, account for about 2% of global GDP. Two percent. The rest — energy, food, manufacturing, shipping, construction — that's the world that tech forgot.
I'll be honest: this one made me think about Apollo. About the people who worked on that program who never saw the rocket but knew they were part of something bigger than themselves. Pablos is trying to rebuild that feeling — not as nostalgia, but as a practical invitation.
On the hacker mindset:
"Hackers are kind of the people violating the warranty before they get the shrink wrap off. Their minds are optimized at figuring out what's possible, even if it wasn't prescribed."

Okay, this one got me. 🔥😈🔥👀
Researchers found that if you wrap a harmful prompt inside a poem, AI safety filters suddenly forget what they’re supposed to do. 😳
Attack success rates go from 8% to over 60%. Just because you added some rhyme and metaphor.
I mean… of course.🙄
Poetry has been doing exactly this for centuries. The Troubadours weren’t just writing love songs — they were smuggling dangerous ideas past the censors of their time, dressed in beautiful language. Dante put his enemies in Hell and called it allegory. Jim Morrison said things on stage no one else could get away with.
Figurative language has always been a skeleton key.
And now it works on AI too.
The part I find almost poetically ironic — the smarter the model, the more vulnerable it is. Because it’s better at reading between the lines. More confident with ambiguity. You can literally seduce a large language model with a well-crafted stanza.
Oh, and you can also use one AI to write the poem that jailbreaks another.
This isn’t just an AI safety story. To me it’s a sociology story. We fed these machines everything humans ever wrote — including all our most creative ways of bending rules. And now they’ve inherited that same vulnerability.
The inability to stay cold in the presence of beauty.

Is this an AI safety problem — or just a very old human story playing out on a new stage?

If you've ever felt — for whatever reason — that the US healthcare system isn't quite working the way it should, this conversation is for you.
Forty years in healthcare. Combat medic. Pharmaceutical lobbyist. CEO. Father of a child with a rare disease. Gil Bashe, Chair of Global Health & Purpose at FINN Partners, has seen the system from every angle. And after all of it, he wrote the #book that needed to be written: Healing the Sick Care System: Why People Matter.
I'll admit — this one was personal for me. I'm type 1 diabetic. I know what it feels like to sit across from a doctor who never looks up from the laptop. Who tells you what you already know and calls it care.
The US spends 18.7% of GDP on health.
Italy spends a fraction of that. Italy lives longer.
We don't have a money problem. We have a mission problem.

82% of enterprises are running AI agents they don't know about.
That number came out of #RSAC Conference 2026 — and it wasn't the most alarming stat on the table.
Sean Martin sat back down with Itamar Apelblat, Co-Founder and CEO of Token Security, to unpack what he heard walking the show floor and what the CSA data now makes impossible to ignore: 65% of organizations have already had an AI agent-related incident in the last twelve months. 82% found agents in their environment that nobody authorized. Only 21% have any formal process to retire an agent when it's done.
Discovery alone is not governance. Intent-based enforcement is. That's where this conversation lands — and it's worth your time.
A huge thank you to the team at Token Security for joining Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli on this journey — both on the floor at #RSAC2026 and in the recap. We loved sharing your story and we're looking forward to many more conversations ahead. 🙌
📍 Where are we headed next? Glad you asked: Infosecurity Europe and Black Hat USA — see you there.

After #RSAC Conference 2026, the vendors were louder, the booths were bigger, and the AI claims were everywhere.
So Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli reconnected with Michael Parisi, Chief Growth Officer at Steel Patriot Partners, to ask what was actually happening beneath all that noise — and where the conversations that actually matter were taking place.
Mike's read from the floor is simple: the "fog of more" is winning. Not because the technology is bad, but because every vendor is saying nearly the same thing and CISOs are running out of ways to tell them apart.
The real conversations? Not in the keynote halls. They're happening in hallways, at dinners, in closed-door rooms where buyers can finally speak honestly.

After #RSAC Conference 2026, every booth was screaming the same thing: AI, AI, AI. 😱
So Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli sat back down with Lisa Liu, Corporate Marketing and Communications Manager at Stellar Cyber, to ask what was actually true on that show floor — and what was just a sticker.
Stellar Cyber has been building machine learning into its platform since 2015, long before AI became the default marketing label. Lisa pulls no punches on the AI-washing problem, the difference between a marketing label and an architectural decision, and why a "fully autonomous SOC" is exactly the part of the pitch that should set off your alarm bells.

Spoiler alert? We are not driving this year so you are probably gonna miss some stupid thing we post as we drive from LA to SF but we will make up for that - for sure! ;)
Video and audio podcasts are available for you now on our Studio C60 / ITSPmagazine #RSAC2026 Coverage page.
