Ep. 16 - 95% of Company AI Projects Failed. Here's What That Actually Means. | Everyone Knows

Three stories, three different worlds, and one hard lesson about the gap between the promise and the truth. A ceasefire nobody has signed. A genius machine that invents its own facts. And the most powerful rocket ever built, aimed at Mars, that has never once reached orbit.

Ep. 16 Iran Negotiations, AI Screw Ups, SpaceX Starship | Everyone Knows

Everyone Knows is hosted byBrian Bullock of Starborne Studios.

Three stories shaping themoment, told straight, with the facts laid out and nothing dressed up. We walkthrough the war and the blockade squeezing Iran, the real-world record ofartificial intelligence behind the hype, and the rocket meant to carry America'sreturn to the moon. Here is what is actually happening, and why it matters now.

Three parts. All of them matter.

FIRST: The Deal, the Dark, and the Strait

The war between the UnitedStates, Israel, and Iran, and the shaky ceasefire that gets renewed every fewweeks through go-betweens in Pakistan. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, ForeignMinister Abbas Araghchi, and security secretary Ali Larijani circle a memorandumover the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's enriched uranium. Behind the table sitsthe longest internet blackout in modern history, a country running short onfood, and a U.S. blockade that disabled the cargo ship Lian Star with aHellfire missile. The pressure and the negotiation are the same thing.

SECOND: The Machine That Makes Things Up

The honest record of artificialintelligence, set apart from the sales pitch. MIT's GenAI Divide study foundninety-five percent of enterprise AI projects returned nothing measurable. AirCanada's chatbot invented a bereavement policy and a tribunal made the airlinepay. Lawyers keep filing briefs full of court cases that do not exist, and eventhe high-end legal tools Stanford tested still made things up. This is a toolthat has to be watched every minute it is switched on.

THIRD: The Rocket Everything Rides On

Out at Starbase in Texas, SpaceXflew Starship, the largest rocket ever built, for the first time this year,with new Raptor 3 engines and eighteen million pounds of thrust. It flewhalfway around the world and came down upright, yet it has never once reachedorbit. Elon Musk is betting on an uncrewed shot at Mars by year end, while NASAcounts on this same machine to land American astronauts back on the moon.SpaceX filed to go public, and the books finally opened.

No spin, no sales pitch, just what is actually true. Noweveryone knows.
