Elections Have Consequences

vendredi 22 novembre 2024Duration 51:11

Brett and Rob unpack the result of the 2024 US national election. President-elect Donald Trump has announced candidates for his next Administration. The verdict? His picks are a clown car of unqualified candidates who intend to dismantle the apparatus of the federal government of the United States. What might this wrecking ball achieve…or destroy? Who benefits from the chaos?  Join us for a lively future-focused discussion about geopolitics, BRICs, global trade, technology, isolationism, the viability of NATO, the fate of small nations. Plus, the immense power of billionaires who have stepped forward to demand their share of the spoils. And one wildcard: will Donald Trump be the instrument of humanity’s survival?  Absurd?.  But if the Trump Administration green-lights a SpaceX mission to Mars, there’s a non-zero probability that Elon Musk’s long term plan for human colonization of another planet might actually occur. 

Is Decentralized AI possible? 

vendredi 15 novembre 2024Duration 39:04

In this week’s show Bestselling Author Michael J Casey, the chairman of DAIS (Decentralized AI Society), senior advisor on MIT Media Lab’s Digital Currency initiative, and previous Chair of Consensus at CoinDesk, joins Brett to talk the reality of decentralized and open source AI.

Is it possible to really make AI less centralized and still deliver the promise of a highly automated world? You’ll need to tune in to find out!

You will need to listen to find out.

vendredi 5 août 2022Duration 44:54

From smart watches and flying cars to household robots and 3D printers.
