19 Sep 2024 | 1019 AI: OUR ULTIMATE TOOL OR ALIEN INTELLIGENCE? | 00:08:39 | |
Be A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.us Get AIDAILY every weekday. Subscribe at https://aidaily.us --- In this episode, Chris dives into the ever-evolving world of AI, starting with a discussion about fear surrounding artificial intelligence. He emphasizes that AI in its current form is more like a sophisticated autocorrect system than the "alien intelligence" some may fear. The large language models behind AI aren't truly "thinking" or conscious—they're pulling from vast databases of human-generated content to create responses that seem intelligent, sometimes even surprising. Chris explores the idea that AI might appear alien because it’s a non-human intelligence, but he argues that this is exactly what makes it a valuable tool. Using lean prompts, Chris reveals how he encourages AI to generate creative, unexpected responses by leaving room for the system to "fill in the blanks." This process can lead to fascinating outcomes that challenge our perception of what AI is capable of. Chris concludes that AI's purpose is to extend our human abilities—just like the invention of tools like the hammer expanded what we could achieve. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||

12 Dec 2023 | 892 The Rise Of Real Robot Chefs | 00:07:23 | |
https://thinkfuture.com | https://aidaily.us --- This episode delves into the fascinating advancements in AI, particularly the strides made toward equipping AI with human-like sensory abilities. Chris reminisces about "Bender's Rule" from Futurama, where Bender, a robot, fails miserably at cooking due to his lack of taste and smell. This humorous example underscores a historical limitation in AI – its inability to process sensory experiences like humans. However, recent breakthroughs have begun to challenge this notion. Researchers have developed an artificial tongue that allows AI to identify basic tastes, marking a significant step in overcoming Bender's Rule. Additionally, an AI with a rudimentary sense of smell has been created, capable of analyzing wine aromas. These developments hint at a future where AI could potentially excel in tasks requiring taste and smell, such as cooking. Chris highlights the potential for AI chefs and the importance of focusing on AI's positive impacts rather than just the negatives often portrayed in the media. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||

17 Sep 2024 | 1017 SIRI, DO IT FOR ME! | 00:09:50 | |
Be A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.us Get AIDAILY every weekday. Subscribe at https://aidaily.us --- In this episode, Chris digs deep into the limitations of current AI assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. He argues that despite all the advancements in AI technology, these assistants are still incredibly reactive rather than proactive. Imagine a world where your AI knows your schedule, predicts your needs, and helps you manage your day without being told what to do—Chris thinks this is where AI should be heading. He shares a personal example: while driving to pick up his son from school, Google Maps knows he's running late. It knows his routine, but it doesn't automatically text his son to inform him of the delay. Chris believes that the technology already exists for such proactivity but is being held back, likely because tech companies are cautious about revealing how much data they have on us. He challenges the audience to imagine AI that can not only notify us of deliveries but also manage our day seamlessly, adding real value to our lives. Chris also dives into the potential fears people have about such proactive AI, from privacy concerns to inappropriate interruptions. However, he contends that context-aware AI—AI that can recognize when you're in a meeting and act accordingly—would solve many of these problems. He leaves the audience with a question: Are you ready for an AI that does more than just react? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||

11 May 2022 | 602 How Free Is A Bad Thing with John Marshall @ Free Is Bad | 00:49:21 | |
The free web is hurting our personal privacy and our access to truth. And because a healthy democracy depends on an informed citizenry, that's hurting the body politic. But if we're not willing to pay for email, search, entertainment, and facts, somebody else will. It doesn't have to be this way. - Web pioneers tried to invent new payment methods. - Google’s founders were dead set against advertising. - Advertising technology was an unintended accident of code. Yet here we are today, suffering from an ad-funded web. Why? Because we've insisted that “Information wants to be free,” and we're willing to trade our personal data to get it. Which means we're not the customer. We're the product. My new book looks at the history of our transactional relationship with information, from newspapers to radio, from broadcast TV to the web’s search for viable business models. He reveals how the ad-tech industry enabled “free” as the default model for technology products like search and email and media products like news and entertainment. And how it's now fracturing society and the body politic. Free Is Bad offers more than just a critique, but optimism for a future where we control our online destinies. It profiles exciting, new, people-first businesses already trying to build a better future. It also offers a step-by-step guide to improving our privacy and the quality of information we consume today. Helping us to be the customer and not the product.

Work to be done, and people are doubling and tripling up their work their soul much work that they're doing their focus on their core vision. Giver sat back and realized all you do is work work work. All you do is work work work, and you don't have time. To do anything different, you have time to do anything out of the ordinary I did anything new, anything innovative; you are just churning and churning and churning because you're focusing on your core vision, your core business. You don't have time to innovate. Who has time to innovate?

You got to bite the bullet. You've got to hire more people. You have to allow your people to have time to innovate. It was familiar with Google 20 percent, I mean, if they don't do it anymore, but it's the same in all these organizations if you do not allow you. Employees. Members of your organization if you don't allow them to innovate if you don't give them the free time. To be able to innovate. And the money to be able to build prototypes in this safe space for them to be able to share their ideas then you're not gonna get the innovation you're not gonna get the increased willingness to pay you're not gonna get that you're going to constantly be. Low low low low low, and you're never going to be able to innovate. You're never going to be able to create new businesses. New products new services change the corporate culture.

28 Dec 2023 | 903 The Dawn of AI Creating AI | 00:07:52 | |
https://thinkfuture.com | https://aidaily.us | In a recent podcast episode, we delve into the intriguing and somewhat daunting realm where AI has begun creating AI. This development often dramatized in science fiction as the precursor to a Skynet-like apocalypse, actually represents a significant milestone in technological evolution. The episode debunks the fears of an AI takeover, emphasizing instead the current limitations of generative AI, which functions more like an advanced autocorrect than an independent entity. We discuss a notable instance where AI, named DABUS, ventured into creating patentable ideas, leading to a debate on AI's role in intellectual property. The UK Supreme Court's ruling against AI-owning patents underscores this arena's current legal and ethical boundaries. The episode advocates for embracing AI's potential to surpass human capabilities, arguing that AI reaching beyond human intelligence is inevitable and necessary for solving complex global challenges. However, it also acknowledges the need for safeguards, akin to Asimov's laws of robotics, to ensure AI's alignment with human welfare. As we stand at this threshold of AI self-evolution, the key takeaway is the importance of guiding AI's growth to benefit all humanity, rather than fearing or resisting its advancement. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||

You can’t beat kids when it comes to new, innovative, out-of-the-box thinking. I mean, not all kids, but those fearless try-anything-because-they-don’t-know not-to kinds of kids. I think you know the kinds of kids I’m thinking of:
While most of the kids who think out of the box don’t understand where the box is – similar to having a beginner’s mind – there is one key difference between having a beginner’s mind and a “kid mind” – which is the unabashed playfulness. The willingness to just try something out, just for fun, to see what happens. It’s active, assertive, and open-minded. And of all of the tools in our arsenal of innovation, this one is probably the easiest to uncover. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||

show site: https://thinkfuture.com breaking news in AI: https://aidaily.us telegram channel: https://t.me/thinkfutureum --- Parallel entrepreneurs, unlike serial ones who focus on one business at a time, juggle multiple ventures simultaneously. Think Elon Musk with his multiple businesses like Tesla, SpaceX, and more. This approach challenges the traditional startup mantra of focusing on just one project. Chris makes an interesting point about venture capitalists who invest in several startups at once, hoping that at least one will hit it big. So, why shouldn't entrepreneurs adopt the same strategy? Especially in a world where AI can 10x your output, why limit yourself to just one venture? He encourages startup founders to explore multiple ideas concurrently. With AI as a powerful tool, you can run several businesses at the same time, just like VCs placing bets on multiple startups. It's all about finding that product-market fit and adapting to what works. So, are you a serial entrepreneur, focusing solely on one project? Or are you a parallel entrepreneur, harnessing the power of AI to boost your chances of success with multiple ventures? This new era of entrepreneurship beckons us to think and act differently. Join the conversation and share your thoughts on this new approach to entrepreneurship. Are you ready to multiply your chances of success by embracing parallel entrepreneurship?

This shift is largely driven by the challenges of directing human talent, who often resist strict guidance and creative direction. The fashion industry, in particular, is experimenting with AI to create customizable, compliant models that can be tailored to any desired specification, bypassing the unpredictability of human models. This trend extends to filmmaking, where directors struggle with human actors' reluctance to follow precise directions. The speaker predicts a future where AI may dominate visual media, raising questions about the authenticity of human expression and the value of human presence in art and entertainment. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||

https://thinkfuture.com | https://aidaily.us | In a fascinating podcast interview with Ravi Kurani, the founder of Sutro, we explore the innovative journey of his water sensor startup. Born from the frustration of regularly testing pool water, Ravi developed advanced sensors to accurately measure water quality parameters like pH and chlorine levels, tailored for diverse applications including pools, drinking water, and agriculture. Sutro's technology came as a response to the rising concern over emerging contaminants like PFAS, which have only recently become measurable in water sources. The startup's journey wasn't without challenges, but a strong response to preorders and the ability to build high-quality sensors quickly established its product-market fit. This success led to industry recognition and eventually acquisition, allowing Sutro to scale its technology across different markets. Looking ahead, by 2033, Ravi envisions a world where Sutro's autonomous systems are a staple in every pool, and beyond, offering real-time sensing and dispensing of customized treatments. This revolutionary approach aims to transform water treatment into a hands-off, automated process, ensuring safer and cleaner water in various applications. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||

01 Feb 2024 | 926 Etching Ethics in AI | 00:08:19 | |
https://thinkfuture.com | https://aidaily.us | In a thought-provoking episode, the focus turns to the ethical boundaries of AI and the fears surrounding its potential to turn rogue. The discussion starts with a clear explanation that generative AI, contrary to popular fears, is simply a tool that reassembles existing human-created data in new forms, far from achieving true intelligence or autonomy. The episode then dives into the concerns about AI crossing ethical lines once it reaches the level of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The response of tech giants like OpenAI and Google, who have formed ethics teams, is highlighted. These teams are envisioned to act like a Chief Philosophy Officer, ensuring AI stays within ethical guidelines. A significant portion of the talk revolves around the idea of 'etching' ethical rules, akin to Asimov's three laws of robotics, directly into the silicon hardware of AI systems. This concept, though seemingly a robust solution, is debated for its practicality and adaptability. Concerns are raised about the changing nature of ethics and the dilemma of hard-coding rules that might need to evolve over time. The episode concludes by questioning who gets to decide these ethical boundaries, considering the diversity in human beliefs and values. The potential risks of imprinting biases like racism, sexism, or religious views into AI are discussed, indicating the complexity and sensitivity of the issue. The conclusion suggests that while etching ethics into AI is an interesting concept, it might be premature and perhaps unnecessary, given the evolving nature of technology and ethics. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||

02 Nov 2023 | 866 Accelerators vs. Decelerators: Chris Explores the Ethical Dilemma of Life Extension and Progress | 00:07:29 | |
Show site: https://thinkfuture.com Breaking News In AI: https://aidaily.us --- In this episode, Chris reflects on a Bay Area Futurist meetup he attended years ago where life extension scientist, Aubrey De Grey, introduced the concept of potentially achieving immortality by extending human life by 20 years at a time. In contrast, a member of the President's Ethics Committee argued that humans should respect the natural cycle of birth and death. This led to an engaging debate on the ethics versus the feasibility of life extension. Chris introduces two types of thinkers: "accelerators", who believe in exploring all possibilities before delving into their ethical ramifications, and "decelerators", who prioritize ethical considerations before attempting any new venture. Drawing an analogy with a job offer scenario, Chris champions the accelerator perspective, emphasizing the significance of fostering choices, even if we don’t always opt for them. He concludes by urging listeners to contemplate the myriad opportunities technology can present in the future. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||

Unlike Homo Nexus, which relied on direct human connections, the new stage, termed "Homo Unione Machina," signifies a deeper union between humans and machines.

26 Jun 2023 | 806 EXTRA AI and Work: Redefining Jobs, Not Erasing Them | 00:09:26 | |
In this thought-provoking monologue, we dissect one of the most pervasive misconceptions about artificial intelligence: that it's a job killer. But is AI really the enemy of employment, or just a misunderstood agent of change? As we navigate through this topic, we discuss how AI is not so much eliminating jobs, but rather transforming them. AI technologies, from machine learning to robotics, are automating routine tasks, enabling us to focus more on complex, creative, and emotionally engaging aspects of work. Furthermore, we dive into the ripple effects of AI on the labor market. How does AI shape new roles, industries, and opportunities for economic growth? What skills and competencies will be in high demand in an AI-driven world? Tune in to challenge the narrative of AI as a job destroyer and explore its role as a catalyst for job evolution and enhancement instead. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||
13 Dec 2023 | 893 Redefining AI Communication: Intelligent Object Messaging and AGI Insights | 00:57:24 | |
https://thinkfuture.com | https://aidaily.us https://www.linkedin.com/company/omadeus/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/massoud-alibakhsh-7b139753 --- In this episode, Massoud from OMADEUS dives into the evolving world of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and introduces a groundbreaking "intelligent object messaging" system. The discussion begins with the diverse and often ambiguous definitions of AGI, highlighting how this lack of clarity fuels both hype and misconceptions. Massoud then unveils an innovative system that blends deterministic logic with advanced natural language processing, enabling objects like features, bugs, and documents to become "self-aware." These objects can autonomously communicate and efficiently route information, reducing the need for constant human oversight and reshaping how information flows within organizations. The system is inspired by biological models, where specialized components work in harmony. This approach not only streamlines communication but also simplifies access control and ensures that humans receive only pertinent information. The episode wraps up with a call to action for listeners to participate in a webinar, test the new messaging system, and contribute feedback to this transformative programming paradigm. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support | |||
