The Braintrust

A cabal of criminals who each possessed psychic powers, the Braintrust were an international syndicate that believed themselves as superior and above the law. Intent in augmenting their ranks, the Braintrust set up fake schools to lure children with paranormal abilities and then kidnapped them. They set out to recruit many gifted persons all as part of an ultimate effort to change the world and situate themselves as its master.

Known members of the Braintrust included ‘Bombshell’ a woman possessing electrokinetic abilities.  She could generate powerful, electrical charges, which she could discharge by snapping her fingers.  Bombshell’s consort was the ‘Invulnerable Man,’ whose psychic ability bestowed him near-complete resistance to physical damage as well as superhuman strength.   

Another member was ‘The Albino,’ the adult son of the notorious mobster, Steven Mandragora.  He possessed a form of telepathy that enabled him to project debilitating hallucinations into the minds of others.  Yet another member was known as ‘Schiz’ who possessed telepathy allowing him to read minds.  

The Braintrust encountered Batman (Terry McGinnis) after the abduction of a psychic child named Tamara Caulder.  Tamara had used her gifts to contact Batman, urging him to rescue her.  Batman ultimately succeeded and young Tamara was reunited with her parents.  The villains resurfaced some time thereafter having kidnapped two more children to be indoctrinated into their organization.  This time, the Braintrust were defeated by Zeta and his ally Ro.  The children were returned to their families and the members of the Braintrust were apprehended.  

Actress Kate Jackson provided the voice for Bombshell; actor Victor Rivers voiced the Invulnerable Man; actors Brian Tochi and John Rhys-Davies each voiced The Albino; while actor Phil LaMarr provided the voice for Schiz.  The Braintrust first appeared in the tenth episode of the second season of Batman Beyond, ‘Mind Games.’

Adam Jackson, Co-Founder & CEO of Braintrust – Interview Series

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/adam-jackson-co-founder-ceo-of-braintrust-interview-series/

Adam Jackson, Co-Founder & CEO of Braintrust – Interview Series

Adam Jackson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Braintrust, an all-in-one hiring solution, that is powered by AI. The platform uses a matching engine that scans 800,000+ talent members globally to find the top 5 candidates to fill any position. The AI is also conducts and grades video interviews, providing enterprises with a detailed scorecard to make fast, and informed hiring decisions.

Could you share the story of the genesis behind Braintrust AIR? 

Today’s hiring process is fundamentally broken. It’s slow, it’s costly, and it leaves talent in a weeks-long period of limbo. We wanted to change all that. We wanted to reduce the friction of finding your next job the way kayak.com forever changed how you book travel by shrinking the hiring process into days. We think that will free human resource professionals from the most tedious and repetitive aspects of their job and empower them to help build culture and cultivate talent.

Braintrust AIR offers various innovative solutions for hiring and managing global workforces. Can you highlight some key features that set your platform apart from traditional staffing solutions? 

Braintrust AIR stands apart in three ways.

First, it’s comprehensive.  No other platform offers AI-driven job description creation, precision candidate matching, automated screening, and onboarding, all under one roof. It’s an end-to-end solution that the market desperately needs

It’s also data driven. We have four years of proprietary data, 750,000 talent and thousands of successfully completed jobs for Fortune 500 companies. We’re not just using ChatGPT to write a generic JD and calling it AI-powered. Instead, we purpose-built models to achieve specific goals that recruiters care about.

Lastly, it’s unbiased. Humans are inherently biased and tend to flock towards familiarity. Our AI ranks and matches talent with jobs based on discrete skills as opposed to personally identifiable information.

These other sites don’t do any vetting of the talent. They only allow you to post jobs and collect applications. We provide a specialized AI-driven hiring platform designed to automate and streamline the entire talent acquisition process, end to end.

How does Braintrust’s AIR AI Matching Engine enhance the accuracy and efficiency of matching candidates to job roles compared to manual screening processes? 

Braintrust’s AIR AI Matching Engine streamlines the recruitment process by automatically analyzing job requirements and candidate profiles to make high-accuracy matches. This system significantly outperforms traditional manual screening by reducing human error and bias, accelerating the hiring timeline, and ensuring a better fit between job roles and candidates.

How does AIR ensure the quality of candidates when performing automated AI-driven video screenings and grading? What criteria does it use? 

AIR ensures high-quality candidates by utilizing advanced algorithms to assess video interviews based on defined competencies and job-specific criteria. This process includes evaluating communication skills, technical knowledge, and problem-solving abilities, ensuring that only the most suitable candidates are shortlisted.

With AI playing a significant role in recruitment, concerns about bias are inevitable. What measures has Braintrust implemented to ensure fairness and reduce bias in its AI algorithms? 

Braintrust has implemented several measures to combat bias in its AI systems. We’re not using any personally identifiable information for model training and inference. The Matching Engine provides a summary for every candidate that clearly states why someone is a match or not, and what criteria were used in decision making. The other thing to note is that our AI looks at every single applicant, instead of simply coming up with a pool of “good enough” candidates. Moreover, our async video screening enables companies to video screen a lot more applicants than they would with a traditional screen. This gives a shot to a wider variety of candidates that would not typically be invited to a screen.

Braintrust also has its cryptocurrency (BTRST). What are the benefits of incorporating a token, and how do the tokenomics work? 

The BTRST token incentivizes community participation and governance, allowing token holders to vote on significant decisions affecting the platform. This use of cryptocurrency aligns with Braintrust’s decentralized ethos, promoting a transparent and collaborative environment.

Braintrust operates on a decentralized model using Web3 technology. How does this influence the platform’s governance and operation? 

Braintrust’s decentralized model empowers its community by allowing talent and companies to have a say in the platform’s development and governance. This model enhances user engagement and ensures that the platform evolves to benefit all stakeholders.

How does the integration with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and job description automation benefit companies looking to streamline their hiring processes? 

Integration with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and automated job description tools help organizations quickly post job openings, manage applications more efficiently, and optimize job descriptions to attract suitable candidates. Many customers are using Braintrust as their ATS; all in one hiring solution. Our integrations with other ATS systems enable customers to easily sync all their data in one place. The Job Description generator is differentiated because it uses data from other job postings and what’s been successful (vs. ChatGPT which will just produce a generic job description)

Can you share some success stories where Braintrust AIR has significantly improved the hiring process for your enterprise clients? 

Braintrust AIR has facilitated numerous successful hires, notably reducing hiring times and costs for Fortune 1000 companies. The industry average hovers around 58 days; Braintrust AIR – specifically the AI Matching – has already reduced time to hire down to 12 days.

What are Braintrust’s long-term goals, and how do you plan to expand your services in the next few years? 

Currently AIR serves as a fully autonomous hiring platform for technical and design roles.  Later this year we’ll be expanding AIR to be able to deeply screen for ALL skilled roles:  accounting, legal, compliance, even retail management.  AIR will be available as its own standalone screening system that will integrate with any ATS at any company, turning thousands of applicants and hours wasted on repetitive screening into the best matches, already fully vetted, in a day or two instead of 6-8 weeks.

Thank you for the great interview, readers who wish to learn more should visit Braintrust.

I am newly amused by that scene in FOTR where Gandalf is telling Saruman about how the One Ring was in the Shire for many years, “right under my very nose,” and Saruman responds “And yet you did not have the wit to see it.”  Because.  Saruman.  My guy.  You have sat in council with all three Elven Ring bearers multiple times across thousands of years.  You are literally talking to a bearer of a Ring of Power right now.  The only way Narya could be more right under your nose is if Gandalf decked you in the mouth.  Well done, o cunning one!  Truly a wizard of great insight and perception.

[sparkofthetelling]

ah yes

maybe I should've like... known what Geant4 did before I proposed to do something that I'm... not actually sure if it can be done? because I've spent like 10 hours looking for a way to parameterize something and I literally cannot figure it out wtf I might be able to do to actually parameterize the... whole thing I'm trying to parameterize

Exactly. After the news broke, Trump posted a truly demented rant (even by his standards) on his dubious technically-a-social-media-platform. And historically, a posting like that from him means one thing: he's scared.

He thinks his get-out-of-jail card (literally) is in serious danger, and he's having a panic attack; and his cronies and advisors (who are truly crappy at tactics and mostly incompetent) are in full-on crisis mode.

Good. We can use that.

I just want everyone to remember that Donald Trump has spent the last several weeks mocking and berating everybody who suggested Biden step aside because the republicans really did not want to run against someone other than Joe Biden. They have no plan, no playbook, no protocol, for running against someone other than Joe.

If you're feeling defeatist right now, please just understand that the Trump Campaign Strategy People are having the worst, most stressful day of the campaign as they scramble to figure out how to beat somebody who isn't Biden in November. Their ace in the hole was a hunk of Kryptonite up their sleeve and now they find out they won't be fighting Superman. THAT is the mood of today.

[visenyaism]

do you have any thoughts on what westeros would have looked like if rhaegar had been married to cersei?

no this is such an interesting question. all credit to oomfie @dwellordream and the sexy genius braintrust at iatc for discussing this earlier but like in summary. cersei and jaime initially fall out because she does genuinely like rhaegar, but that doesn’t last forever because she eventually still gets disillusioned because of rhaegar’s whole disaffection prophecy thing. i don’t think rhaegar runs off with anyone if he has no problem having kids in his first marriage. rebellion is probably between paranoid Aerys and Rhaegar-Tywin front, but they probably also fall out once tywin realizes rhaegar is not as easy of a puppet as his crazy dad. I think Cersei still eventually tries to have him killed, but because he is not an alcoholic manchild it’s significantly more difficult and she maybe fails at that maybe succeeds but looks incredibly suspicious. so they have a second smaller war about which of those kids are going to be the heir.

most importantly visenya ii targaryen is born bright golden blonde with a quick sword arm a quicker smile and a seething hatred of crossbowmen and everyone in the riverlands feels a shiver run down their spine for reasons they cannot explain but will come to understand years later.

Money, Money, Money

Alessia Russo x reader

-> Reader has a mental breakdown after discovering how expensive Alessia's outfit was

➳ Masterlist

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

As every year the ‘Pride of Britain Awards’ were held in London – and just like last year the lionesses were invited to hand an award to one of the winners. The candidates were nominated by the public from all walks of life, of all ages, and from all over the country. Their achievements are awe-inspiring and a lesson to everyone. And just like last year, your girlfriend Alessia was one of the Lionesses that would be going.

You knew that she had been out shopping with Leah and Jen a couple of times, but you always excused yourself with having lessons to prepare or actually being in school teaching – in reality, you just wanted the blonde to have time with her new teammates.

Every time she came back smiling like a lunatic but upon asking her what she had bought, you always received a teasing kiss and a “You’ll see amore.”

And see you did. Alessia waited for you to say something – body jittering with anticipation of your opinion. She knew that you would like it, but seeing you stare at her with wide eyes and an open mouth was so much better than expected. “You’re drooling, love.”

While Lessi was usually the gullible one. It was you wiping away phantom drool – your girlfriend laughing at you. “Baby you look… Wow!”

Happy with her achievement the footballer pulled you up from your desk chair. “You are so tall Less!” While your girlfriend was already tall, her heels let her tower over you even more. “Mhmm, you like it, amore?” The cheeky girl knew exactly how much you liked the size difference between the two of you – so instead of answering her, you kissed the blonde with passion.

She truly looked incredible in her bright red dress (that was quite short really) with stunning heels – her face still bare. “Do you really need to go Less?” The Italian knew that you wanted her to go despite your whining. You had been freaking out when she had told you about it – but right now? There was nothing else you would rather do than let the blonde kiss you crazy as she was usually doing.

“I need to go baby.” With hunched shoulders she pressed another kiss to your lips, parting way too soon. Baffled you stood there in the middle of the shared living room, Alessia grabbing her purse before speed walking back to you like a damn model.

“One for the road.” Kissing you again, before walking out of the house to get to her Makeup artist.

And while you really liked to use your work as an excuse, tonight you really did have lessons to plan – much to your annoyance. Sure you were an adult, but that didn’t mean, that you wouldn’t scour the internet for anything about Less at the Award show – and the pictures were stunning.

Seeing her on stage, next to little Ravi Adelekan who won ‘Child of Courage’ for setting up an incredible charity in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity and braintrust after undergoing surgery for his tumor, made you quite emotional. Kids were always very dear to your heart, after all, you did become a school teacher.

Having long abandoned your actual plans, you kept on looking at pictures of the award show, reading about all of those memorable people there, when a picture popped up on your Instagram. It was a picture of your girlfriend, stunning as always, but next to her were pictures of her clothing, someone having found out how much it cost and where to find it, if anyone wanted to buy something.

A dress for 700 euros was bad enough, but heels for a little more than 1,000 euros? That was just excessive, the little red bag for 2,000 euros, didn’t make it better in the slightest.

You knew, that Alessia and you came from very different backgrounds, her dad had been in the police, earning good money – her mother and brothers also being well paid. The blonde started making a pretty buck at quite a young age. You, however, came from a low-income family.

Less maybe didn’t notice the difference, but you certainly did.

No food in the fridge? Instant panic! You couldn’t go hungry again, you just couldn’t. There always had to be some food at home.

Eating out? Scary enough for you, always choosing the least expensive option on the menu – but ordering a glass of expensive wine? Panic! What if you needed the money suddenly?

It was safe to say that seeing these prices for things your girlfriend would wear once and never again sent you into a spiral.

Alessia came home in the early hours of the morning, expecting to join you in bed. Instead, she found you at the dining table, bent over stacks of papers and calculations – immediately she knew that something was wrong.

You hated math.

You didn’t teach math.

So what was going on here?

As gently as she could she laid her hands on top of your shoulders, scaring you just enough to make you knock over your (thankfully closed) water bottle. “What’s all this amore?” Seeing your tear-stained face broke the footballer's heart, her mind set on making things better.

“You’re back Less!” It was adorable, your pretty little face lightening up upon seeing the stunning blonde in her pretty red dress that caused you so much trouble. But your red puffy eyes reminded her that something was up with you.

After laying a gentle kiss on your burning forehead, she pulled out the chair next to you. Warm, big hands enveloped your own, stopping you from tugging at your skin. “Baby?” And then it was like a damn broke, everything just spilling out of you.

“Okay, so I calculated everything! And if I take on a few more afternoon supervision classes, and take fewer breaks – with rent and food we might be able to cover everything in two or three months!”

The blonde was confused. What would you try to cover? But upon seeing her face, poor you thought that she was unhappy that it would take so long “Or, we could just use up all the food that we have here, that gives us a little extra and we could get done faster!”

You were in hysterics. Face all scrunched up, desperately looking for ideas, your entire body heated up. “Amore what are you talking abo-“

“Or! I could get a second job on top, so we could finish paying everything off this month. I saw that the bakery down the street is looking for new employees.”

Alessia let go of your hands, instead taking your water bottle and bringing it to your mouth – desperate to calm you down without making you panic. While this is a strange position to be in, it helped. Like a baby getting fed, you calmed down – but then came the tears.

“Amore, I can’t help you if I don’t understand what is wrong. What are you trying to pay off?” Her warm hands wiped away tear after tear, waiting for your desperate hiccups to end. So badly she wanted to pull you on her lap, into one of her famous hugs but she feared that you would fall asleep before figuring out the problem.

Now you felt like you had calmed down enough, giving the blonde a firm nod. “What are you trying to pay off baby?”

The footballer didn’t know what she was expecting but “Your dress, shoes and bag.” certainly wasn’t it. She pressed a gentle kiss onto the back of your hand “Why would you pay for them, baby?”

“Well they were expensive and we need to have the money ready when the bill comes for them.” Slowly but surely Alessia was understanding what was going on.

“Baby you don’t need to pay for them. They are already paid for.” If the situation hadn’t been so serious, she would have surely laughed at the way that your facial expression shifted. “What’d ya mean?”

“I mean that I have already paid for the dress, the shoes, and even the bag in store. Even if not, you would never need to pay them for me, amore.” It was like a heavy weight had fallen off your chest.

“So- so there will be no bill?” Alessia’s head shake nearly sends you into another breakdown, but the little shapes she drew on your wrist with her fingers certainly helped you calm down again.

“Why did you think that you needed to be the one paying baby?” Curious, big blue eyes practically burned into the side of your head.

You were ashamed.

Seeing the expensive price tags had thrown you back to your teenage years. “When I was younger my mum used to just buy things that we couldn’t afford. And when the bills came she made figure out how I could pay for it.” Alessia teared up.

She knew that you didn’t have the best life, but she never pressured you into telling her. “Why didn’t your mum work for it then?”

“She never worked, dad didn’t want her to. He was too proud to admit that he couldn’t carry the weight of the family.” Alessia now held your face in between her hands, gently caressing your cheeks.

“Listen to me amore.” The Italian, again, took note of how hot your face was. It appeared that you had worked yourself up to a point of sickness, breaking your girlfriend's heart even more. “What your mum made you do is horrible – and it will never happen again. Okay? Not with me. We have a stable income – you have a good job, and I can pay for the house and both cars, okay? You don’t even need to work in my eyes.”

She saw how you scrunched your nose in disagreement, wanting to do your share. “Don’t look at me like that anymore, you know it’s true.”

And you really did know it. You knew what Alessia earned, both of you being very open about finances – but something about the situation had thrown you back in time, into a toxic living environment.

“Let’s get you to bed baby, you’re staying home tomorrow.”

And stay home you did – the both of you not leaving the bed until later in the day, sharing stories about your very different families.

Tamara Caulder

Young Tamara was born in an impoverished neighborhood in the Gotham City of the future.  She possessed inherent telepathic abilities and somehow the syndicate of psychic criminals known as the Braintrust became aware of her.  Seeing her great potential, the Braintrust endeavored to kidnap Tamara so to shape her into a powerful weapon and assist to their organization.  

Posing as representatives of a special school for gifted children, the Braintrust members known as Bombshell and the Invulnerable Man were able to coerce Tamara’s parents into handing her over.  Mr. and Mrs. Caulder soon realized they had been duped and were desperate to rescue their kidnapped daughter.  

Tamara meanwhile used her abilities to psychically call out for help.  She was able to contact Terry McGinnis, discerning his secret identity as Batman.  Terry struggled to understand the visions he was having, yet he and Bruce Wayne were able to figure it out and set out to rescue Tamara.  

The agents of the Braintrust proved a formidable challenge for Batman.  With Tamara’s aid, however, he was able to persevere.  The villains were defeated and Tamara was reunited with her parents.  With assistance from the Wayne Foundation, Tamara and her family were offered protective custody and the youngster received professional help to deal with her burgeoning powers.

Actress Mara Wilson provided the voice for Tamara with the youthful heroine featuring in the tenth episode of the second season of Batman Beyond, ‘Mind Games.’
