I have a podcast now! Welcome to #Xecast episode 1. This is a total experiment and I'm going to try to do episodes every other week to avoid over-committing (I travel a lot for work). Eventually I'd love to have guests on to talk about what they love, but for now I'm aggressively de-scoping and making it as minimal as possible. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Show Notes: * This is the first episode of Xecast, an experimental podcast by Xe Iaso. * Xe talks about their background in tech, starting with early exposure to computers and programming. * They discuss their love for tinkering and finding creative, sometimes "cursed," solutions to problems. * The conversation dives into their fictional series, #Techaro, and the rules Xe created to make it universally relatable. * Xe reveals their desire to write a book and create short films based on the #Techaro universe. * The episode touches on Xe's fascination with AI and its potential for social commentary. * Xe encourages listeners to watch The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror for their thought-provoking social commentary. Key Takeaways: * Embracing the Cursed: Xe's passion for technology lies in its potential for unconventional and even "cursed" solutions. This approach has fueled their career and creative pursuits. * Relatability in Fiction: Xe's #Techaro series thrives on its generic, relatable depiction of the tech industry. By avoiding specific details, readers can easily draw parallels to real-world companies and experiences. * Technology as a Mirror: Xe believes technology amplifies existing human flaws and societal issues. They use their writing to explore this concept, drawing inspiration from shows like "The Twilight Zone" and "Black Mirror." * AI as a Narrative Tool: Xe sees AI as a powerful tool for social commentary, particularly regarding labor exploitation. They plan to explore this theme in future #Techaro stories.

I finally got around to watching the @Elon Musk and @Lex Fridman podcast. 8.5 hours CARL!!! But that was something... It's more than just a podcast. It is more like an audiobook. And let me tell you, Elon Musk's vision for Neuralink is both revolutionary and ambitious. The future looks promising, so go and check out the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/dSnETcyg Here are some quick highlights that caught my eye: The entire concept is mind-boggling. It's not just a piece of metal in your head. It has the potential to revolutionize how we communicate and interact with technology. One particularly interesting point Musk made is that Neuralink could potentially double the current world record in terms of speed of information transfer. Imagine sending messages, codes, or even just scrolling through social media twice as fast! But this brings up the question: how necessary is this speed? The other exciting thing comes from healthcare. Musk described Neuralink's mission as solving basic neurological issues, such as repairing spinal cord injuries or restoring vision for blind people. Such innovations hint at a future where brain-machine interfaces could communicate directly with #AI, addressing conditions like schizophrenia and seizures and potentially even granting what Musk referred to as "superpowers." The first neural link was implemented not so far ago to a real person, not without problems (I heard that some of those tiny strings snapped away), but it works. What do you think about this future? Are we ready to embrace this new way of interacting with the digital world? #Neuralink #Technology #AGI #Healthcare #Future #AI #Innovation #Podcast #Takeaways

There is no “one good way” of asking questions. No single specific technique or sentence structure that will optimise our results or outcomes. Instead, intentionally creating more space for doubt and questions in our work and interactions, asks us to practice self-awareness and focus more on our mindset. ▶ Being aware of our assumptions ▶ Admitting and accepting that we don’t know ▶ Sharing honestly with others that you don’t know ▶ Practicing our capacity to be with the unknown From that place, it can become a conversation geared for growth and learning. Sounds simple (perhaps), but in a society that rewards certainty, clarity and knowledge over all - this can be a scary notion. So. There might not be “one good way” to ask questions, but is there a bad way to do it? Tune into the full conversation to find out, how Pia Lauritzen, PhD answered this question she had never gotten before… __________________________ In episode 54 of The Experience Designers Podcast, Pia and myself explore what potential and pitfalls a question holds, how questions are what makes us unique in the face of AI and what is needed in us to fully leverage the power of both our doubt and our curiosity.
