Why AI Can't Replace PR Judgment — Tilo Bonow (PIABO Communications) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI can draft 50 press releases, but it cannot persuade a skeptical journalist, navigate a crisis, or decide which claim a company is prepared to defend publicly. Tilo Bonow argues that artificial intelligence has made judgment—not content production—the premium product in communications. The conversation examines how language models are reshaping reputation and visibility. Earned media now serves two audiences: human decision-makers and the AI systems that summarize markets, compare vendors, and
Can Project A's Operational Model Beat US VCs? | Florian Heinemann - Project A (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Florian Heinemann questions whether OpenAI's near-trillion-dollar valuation makes sense when the company would need to rank among the top five global companies by value just to justify a 2–2.5x return for current investors.

This conversation explores the often-overlooked economics of retention versus acquisition, the strategic mistakes embedded in long-term contracts, and why billing infrastructure is no longer back-office plumbing but a growth engine. The discussion unpacks the European fintech l
AI Is Collapsing the Vulnerability Lifecycle - Marco Riccardi (QuoIntelligence) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI has collapsed the vulnerability lifecycle — from discovery to mass exploitation — into a matter of hours, fundamentally disrupting how organizations must think about cybersecurity. What was once a 60-90 day patching window is now obsolete, and the barrier to finding critical vulnerabilities has dropped so low that anyone with access to AI can do it. Marco Riccardi breaks down how geopolitics directly drives cyber attacks, often within hours of major political statements. When Germany pledged
