I, Stewart Alsop, had a fascinating conversation on this episode of Crazy Wisdom with Mallory McGee, the founder of Chroma, who is doing some really interesting work at the intersection of AI and crypto. We dove deep into how these two powerful technologies might reshape the internet and our interactions with it, moving beyond the hype cycles to what's truly foundational.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 The Intersection of AI and Crypto01:28 Bitcoin's Origins and Austrian Economics04:35 AI's Centralization Problem and the New Gatekeepers09:58 Agent Interactions and Decentralized Databases for Trustless Transactions11:11 AI as a Prosthetic Mind and the Interpretability Challenge15:12 Deterministic Blockchains vs. Non-Deterministic AI Intents18:44 The Demise of Traditional Apps in an Agent-Driven World35:07 Property Rights, Agent Registries, and Blockchains as BackendsKey InsightsCrypto's Enduring Fundamentals: Mallory emphasized that while crypto prices are often noise, the underlying fundamentals point to a new, long-term cycle for the Internet itself. It's about decentralizing control, a core principle stemming from Bitcoin's original blend of economics and technology.AI's Centralization Dilemma: We discussed the concerning trend of AI development consolidating power within a few major players. This, as Mallory pointed out, ironically mirrors the very centralization crypto aims to dismantle, potentially shifting control from governments to a new set of tech monopolies.Agents are the Future of Interaction: Mallory envisions a future where most digital interactions aren't human-to-LLM, but agent-to-agent. These autonomous agents will require decentralized, trustless platforms like blockchains to transact, hold assets, and communicate confidentially.Bridging Non-Deterministic AI with Deterministic Blockchains: A fascinating challenge Mallory highlighted is translating the non-deterministic "intents" of AI (e.g., an agent's goal to "get me a good return on spare cash") into the deterministic transactions required by blockchains. This translation layer is crucial for agents to operate effectively on-chain.The Decline of Traditional Apps: Mallory made a bold claim that traditional apps and web interfaces are on their way out. As AI agents become capable of generating personalized interfaces on the fly, the need for standardized, pre-built apps will diminish, leading to a world where software is hyper-personalized and often ephemeral.Blockchains as Agent Backbones: We explored the intriguing idea that blockchains might be inherently better suited for AI agents than for direct human use. Their deterministic nature, ability to handle assets, and potential for trustless reputation systems make them ideal backends for an agent-centric internet.Trust and Reputation for Agents: In a world teeming with AI agents, establishing trust is paramount. Mallory suggested that on-chain mechanisms like reward and slashing systems can be used to build verifiable reputation scores for agents, helping us discern trustworthy actors from malicious ones without central oversight.The Battle for an Open AI Future: The age-old battle between open and closed source is playing out again in the AI sphere. While centralized players currently seem to dominate, Mallory sees hope in the open-source AI movement, which could provide a crucial alternative to a future controlled by a few large entities.Contact Information* Twitter: @McGee_noodle* Company: Chroma

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we explore a major maritime disaster in the North Sea where the US-flagged oil tanker MV Stena Immaculate collided with the Portuguese cargo ship Solong off East Yorkshire on March 10, 2025. The collision caused fires on both vessels, forced crew evacuations, and released jet fuel into the sea, raising environmental concerns. All 37 crew members were rescued safely, though questions remain about whether the Solong was on autopilot when it struck the anchored tanker.We also examine Neuralink's ambitious plans as the company files trademark applications for futuristic terms like "Telepathy" and "Telekinesis," signaling development of brain-computer interfaces that could allow users to control devices with their thoughts. Our main story focuses on the European Union's efforts to reduce Ukraine's dependence on Starlink by negotiating with major European satellite operators like SES, Hisdesat, Viasat, and Eutelsat OneWeb to create alternative satellite communication solutions for Ukraine's critical infrastructure needs.The episode highlights the complex relationship between technology and geopolitics, particularly as Ukraine relies on approximately 40,000 Starlink terminals for government functions, healthcare operations, and military communications in areas where traditional internet infrastructure has been compromised. While European satellite operators remain optimistic about providing alternatives, experts note that no current European system can match Starlink's extensive coverage, underscoring Europe's push for technological independence in satellite communications.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/tanker-collision-in-north-sea-.873SdLDRgGwCPhztCI_Cghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/neuralink-files-telepathy-and-LHjgvYQrTuqKZ7fgeIau9Qhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/eu-to-help-ukraine-replace-sta-t5eIZ_IMTOyC6kj6yKO4Vw**Introducing Perplexity Deep Research:**https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-deep-research Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Je hersenen zijn in theorie beter en sneller in het verwerken van informatie dan een computer. Toch lijkt dat niet altijd zo. Wat nou als je die twee werelden combineert; je hersenen verbinden met een computer. Dan kom je uit bij een bedrijf als Zander Labs en hun CEO, Jonathan Zwaan, is te gast in Techzine Talks. We praten met hem over de deeptch van BCI, oftewel Brain-Computer Interfaces. Als je de term Brain-Computer Interface hoort, denk je wellicht meteen aan het kunnen bedienen van computers met je brein. Dat is niet wat Zander Labs doet. Het gaat bij het platform dat dit bedrijf ontwikkelt om passieve Brain-Computer Interfaces. Dat houdt in dat er met behulp van EEG-scans van de hersenen een respons op bepaalde gebeurtenissen naar een computer gestuurd wordt. Het doel is om hiermee een reeks basisreacties te definiëren, die voor alle mensen gelden. De computer kan deze dan gebruiken als input voor een specifieke actie.De mogelijkheden van het koppelen van het menselijke brein en computers op deze manier heeft zonder meer veel potentie. Zo kan het een belangrijke rol spelen bij de ontwikkeling van Artificial General Intelligence, om een zijstraat te noemen. Eenvoudig is het echter niet, zo bespreken we in deze aflevering. Ook zitten er kanten aan die wellicht niet meteen wenselijk zijn. Die gaan we zeker niet uit de weg in dit gesprek.Een ding staat wat ons betreft vast, Zander Labs is een Nederlandse start-up die samen met partners weleens een grote impact op de wereld van computers en AI kan gaan hebben. Of dat ook gaat lukken, is vanzelfsprekend afwachten. Luister in ieder geval snel deze nieuwste aflevering van Techzine Talks om op de hoogte te zijn van wat er speelt in de wereld van Brain-Computer Interfaces.Hoofdstukken:00:00:40 - Zander Labs & BCI's02:41 - De Brain-Computer Interface 05:09 - BCI-uitdagingen en commercialisering09:19 - Miniscuul EEG-apparaat14:01 - BCI-toepassingen18:52 - Menselijke annotatie & AI21:01 - Geestelijke toestand & leugendetectie25:29 - EEG-beperkingen & ethiek33:24 - AI-chirurgische robots37:56 - AI van lab tot markt

In this episode, Patrick Pilarski, Canada CIFAR AI Chair and professor at the University of Alberta, breaks down The Alberta Plan—a bold roadmap for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) through reinforcement learning and real-time experience-based AI. Unlike large pre-trained models that rely on massive datasets, The Alberta Plan champions continual learning, where AI evolves from raw sensory experience, much like a child learning through trial and error. Could this be the key to unlocking true intelligence? Pilarski also shares insights from his groundbreaking work in bionic medicine, where AI-powered prosthetics are transforming human-machine interaction. From neuroprostheses to reinforcement learning-driven robotics, this conversation explores how AI can enhance—not just replace—human intelligence. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why reinforcement learning is a better path to AGI than pre-trained models The four core principles of The Alberta Plan and why they matter How AI-driven bionic prosthetics are revolutionizing human-machine integration The battle between reinforcement learning and traditional control systems in robotics Why continual learning is critical for AI to avoid catastrophic forgetting How reinforcement learning is already powering real-world breakthroughs in plasma control, industrial automation, and beyond The future of AI isn't just about more data—it's about AI that thinks, adapts, and learns from experience. If you're curious about the next frontier of AI, the rise of reinforcement learning, and the quest for true intelligence, this episode is a must-watch. Subscribe for more AI deep dives!

¿Tiene sentido defender los “neuroderechos” como un ámbito de protección con vida propia? ¿Cómo se solapan con la protección de datos personales o la responsabilidad derivada de la puesta en el mercado de ciertos productos de “aumentación cerebral” o “interfaz neuronal”? Joaquín Muñoz es Socio de Bird & Bird y dirige el área de Commercial y Privacy & Data Protection en la oficina de Madrid, habiendo demostrado a través de los años profunda capacidad de análisis de nuevas tecnologías o modelos de negocio disruptivos. Cuenta con una amplia experiencia asesorando a empresas tecnológicas en derecho digital, protección de datos, seguridad de la información, derecho de comercio electrónico, derecho del entretenimiento, IT outsourcing, asesoramiento en propiedad industrial e intelectual y otros temas relacionados con la industria TMT. A Joaquín le acompañará siempre la fama de haber representado a Mario Costeja en el juicio contra Google que terminaría creando el derecho al olvido. Hoy hemos abordado la idea de los neuroderechos, un concepto impulsado por el científico Rafael Yuste desde la universidad de Columbia que ya ha permeado en la Constitución de Chile o la nueva ley de protección de datos del estado de Colorado.

How can we record brain activity during natural behavior without bulky, restrictive devices? This question has challenged neuroscientists for years, but Saehyuck Oh and Janghwan Jekal from the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) have devised an innovative solution! In this episode of the BCI Award Neurocareers podcast series, we dive into the world of stealthy neural recording with their project, "Behavior to Byte: Stealthy Neural Recorder." The team has developed a fully wireless, battery-free, and implantable neural interface designed for primates, allowing researchers to study brain activity during natural behavior without interrupting the subject. This groundbreaking device combines soft bioelectronics for long-term implantation, enabling it to be safely placed deep within the brain for precise neural recording. Join us as Saehyuck and Janghwan share how their research tackles the challenges of developing implantable devices for primates—devices that must be durable, soft, and operate entirely without batteries.

About the Podcast Guests: Biography Saehyuck Oh received his B.E. degree in biomedical engineering from Yonsei University in 2019 and a M.S. degree in robotics engineering from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in 2021. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Prof. Kyung-In Jang in robotics and mechatronics engineering at DGIST, where research focuses on soft bioelectronics. His work focuses on developing wearable and implantable biomedical devices that can interface with biological systems for biomedical applications. Janghwan Jekal received his B.E. degree in School of Undergraduate Studies from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in 2019. He is currently doing his Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Prof. Kyung-In Jang from robotics and mechatronics engineering at DGIST. His research focuses on implantable and wearable biomedical devices. Research work Activities such as exercising like riding a bicycle, taking deep breaths, eating, sleeping, experiencing sensations, controlling our weight, expending energy, and performing instinctive actions are all regulated by the brain. Each part of the brain is intricately connected, and the behaviors are the result of these complex processes. Therefore, to truly understand the origins of behavior, it is essential to measure and study brain neural activity. So, which animal model is most appropriate for studying the brain neural activity underlying natural behavior? Among the various experimental subjects, ranging from fish to humans, primates are the most suitable. Primates are genetically and anatomically similar to humans and possess high cognitive behavioral functions sililar to humans. So, what engineering elements are needed in a device to study the primate brain? Firstly, since monkeys can freely use their arms and legs and might can break the device, so it must be completely implanted. This necessitates the device to operate entirely wireless and without batteries, as it is impractical to charge or replace batteries in a monkey. Additionally, for long-term implantation, the neural probe must be soft to match the mechanical properties of living tissues. Since, brain regions associated with natural behaviors are located in the deep brain region, so the neural probe must be inserted into these deep brain regions. Also, the signals measured using these devices must undergo signal processing and artificial intelligence analysis to effectively link brain activity with behavior. To address these requirements, we have developed a wireless, battery-free and fully implantable brain neural interface for primates.

Neuralink, Elon Musk's neurotechnology startup, recently live-streamed footage of a paralyzed man with a brain implant playing video chess using only his mind. According to Musk, that's just one of many medical applications for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). But it is BCI's non-medical applications that are generating controversy among ethicists, in the way they aspire to create a symbiosis between people and AI meant to keep humanity from falling too far behind machines. Joe and Mark assess the state of BCI technology and whether the coming age of human-computer hybrids is cause for excitement, trepidation, or both. (Recorded May 10, 2024.)

Imagine being trapped in your own body, unable to move or communicate effectively. This may seem like a nightmare, but it is a reality for many people living with brain or spinal cord injuries. Join us as we talk with Jaimie Henderson, a Stanford neurosurgeon leading groundbreaking research in brain-machine interfaces. Henderson shares how multiple types of brain implants are currently being developed to treat neurological disorders and restore communication for those who have lost the ability to speak. We also discuss the legacy of the late Krishna Shenoy and his transformative work in this field.

Nicki Driscoll, PhD is a post-doc researcher at MIT, and CTO of NeuroBionics, a company that has developed a new kind of neural interface using microscale, flexible, bioelectronic fibers that seamlessly integrate with the body. Have you ever seen a fiber optic cable? Imagine a tiny strand that is as thin as a human hair. Each fiber integrates a range of functions, such as electrical, chemical, and optical capabilities to sense and modulate the biological environment. This gives us unprecedented access into the “symphony” of a properly functioning brain (something we'll talk about later that is ultra ultra cool…) and also a better understanding of the brain when it's not functioning properly. This is the kind of stuff the sci-fi future is made of, so buckle up! ➡️ https://neurobionics.io/ ➡️ https://rosspalmer.com/nicki-driscoll ➡️ Follow me on Instagram: @therosspalmer ➡️ Subscribe on YouTube: @therosspalmer
