Dan Thomson founded Sensay in 2023, a leading platform for creating AI-based digital clones and a pioneer in digital immortality. He founded Sensay to develop solutions across a range of sectors, from healthcare to education, building a knowledge capture and share platform for the betterment of humanity. Dan has a BA in Philosophy from King's College London and an MBA from the University of Cambridge. He has authored two books to date: ‘Immortality in a Digital Age' and ‘The Digital Afterlife'. Summary AI Digital Replicas and Personal Use Michael and Dan discussed Dan's work in AI, specifically on creating lifelike digital replicas of people. Dan explained that this tool is helpful for anyone in business or personal life, as it can draft messages in one's style and voice with their knowledge base. Michael expressed interest in using this technology, noting that it made him think of aspects he hadn't considered before. The meeting was scheduled to last between 20 to 25 minutes. Entrepreneurial Journey and Industry Insights Dan shared his entrepreneurial journey from philosophy to the hospitality industry, including setting up restaurants and bars, before transitioning to tech after a severe concussion. He highlighted the high failure rate and competitiveness in hospitality but praised the industry for fostering hardworking, trustworthy, and creative individuals. Michael acknowledged AI's potential while also appreciating entrepreneurs' humble beginnings. They discussed the value of diverse skill sets and community experiences, like Michael's time at a grocery store, in recognizing people's needs for entrepreneurship. Addressing Memory Loss and Sharing Stories Michael expressed his concern about the loss of memory due to Alzheimer's or dementia and how it affects individuals and their loved ones. He suggested that technology could be used to record and share personal stories and experiences, which would be particularly valuable for those who have lost access to family members due to death. Dan agreed, sharing his own experience of memory loss and how it can be terrifying. He also mentioned that people with degenerative mental diseases are often advised to start a journal or life book to record their stories, but this can be difficult for the elderly. Exploring AI Chatbots for Story Preservation Dan discussed the potential of AI chatbots to learn from individuals and preserve their unique stories and experiences for future generations. He highlighted various use cases: education, preserving legacies, gaming, personal assistance, and brand marketing. Dan also mentioned the technology's ability to extend and empower individuals beyond their physical limitations. Michael agreed, emphasizing the technology's potential to free up time for humans to focus on human-to-human interactions, using Taylor Swift as an example. Embracing AI for Global Collaboration and Growth Michael discussed the potential for increased global collaboration and creativity, particularly in education and technology. He emphasized the importance of not fearing the impact of AI on jobs but rather embracing it as an opportunity for growth and innovation. Michael also shared his personal experience of tracing his ancestry back to the late 11 hundreds, which sparked his curiosity about the lives of his ancestors. He encouraged others to embrace AI and technology's opportunities rather than fearing them. Exploring AI, Legacy, and Family Trees Michael and Dan discussed the potential of using AI and technology to understand our future better and preserve our past. They highlighted the importance of recording personal stories and experiences for future generations despite concerns about privacy and security. Dan emphasized the opportunity to leave a legacy for those curious about our lives and experiences and the potential for future generations to learn from our knowledge and experiences. They also touched on the idea of interactive family trees and the possibility of communicating with ancestors. The conversation concluded with the idea that we live in a "golden age of technology" where we have the tools to record and preserve our stories for future generations. Discussing Data Privacy and AI Character Development Dan and Michael discussed the implications of recording and sharing personal data, with Michael advocating for the greater good and Dan highlighting the potential for misuse. They also touched on the importance of understanding different historical perspectives and the challenges of creating AI characters that reflect diverse personalities. Dan emphasized the potential of their platform to save time and improve efficiency, allowing users to focus on more critical tasks. They concluded by expressing excitement for the future of their project and its potential to revolutionize how people interact with technology. Exploring Sensay's Products and Potential Benefits Michael and Dan discussed Dan's company, Sensay, and its products.

In this episode we speak with Dan Thomson from Tomo Surfboards.Dan is arguably the most creative surfboard designer of the last 20 years.  The art of surfboard shaping and designing was handed down from his father, Mark Thomson.  Dan and his father would discuss all aspects of hydrodynamic theory to improve their understanding of real surfboard design.In the mid 2000's Dan moved to America after a chance encounter that led to him riding a selection of 'fish' boards from some of the industry's best.  Around the same time Dan was thinking a lot about the 'Golden Rule' or Fibonacci sequence and how it could be applied it to his surfboard designs.  It wasn't long before this way of designing boards made complete sense to him and the idea of what surfboards may look like in the future became clear.The result was a series of boards such as the Vanguard, Deathstar and Vader.  Dan's creativity over the next 10-15 years was some of the most prolific in surfboard history.  If you look at his various model in his range, nearly every board is unique with its own purpose.When Dan teamed up with Firewire the racks in surf shops seemed to change overnight and looked very different with an array of plan shapes, rockers, concaves and channels.  I was really excited to speak with Dan as his unique board designs and creativity is an inspiration to me, as I am sure it is to others.    Support the Show.Be sure to check out the stories on our instagram home page for photos to accompany each episode.@the_dust_up_podcastWe hope you enjoyed our conversation and be sure to rate and subscribe our podcast.

We discuss how Web3 and AI can support those living with dementia and their families, the role of blockchain in the responsible development of AI, Sensay's recent token launch, and much more.This episode is brought to you by KoinlyCheck out Koinly to make your crypto taxes easier: https://koinly.io/?via=EB5412D2&utm_source=affiliatePlease note: we make use of affiliate marketing to provide readers with referrals to high quality and relevant products and services.--Three Key Takeaways--In a world full of deepfakes, blockchain is the only true way of ensuring that AI agents are acting on someone's behalf, and that information sources on the internet are legitimate. Through on-chain verification, individuals can know, with certainty, that a source of information is authorized and legitimate.There are many ways that blockchain can help improve healthcare around the world. This includes addressing inefficiencies in health care systems, using ZK proofs to connect patients with relevant doctors, and creating secure digital health care records.There has been a lot of talk about AI regulations and introducing appropriate safeguards to guide responsible development. Unfortunately, it may no longer be possible to safeguard AI fully as “the cat is out of the bag”, so it's important to ensure positive use cases are developed, and complimentary blockchain tools are built to protect individuals during this AI boom.--Full shownotes with links available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruism-podcast-episode-148-sensay-revolutionizing-dementia-care-with-ai-and-blockchain--Support us with a Fiat or Crypto contribution--Learn more at cryptoaltruism.org/supportus--DISCLAIMER --While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice, and please make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment.

Greg Henderson of Drovers is this morning's guest host and he has conversations with Michaela Clowser of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and Dr. Dan Thomson, bovine veterinarian and host of DocTalk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Dan Thomson is a professor in the College of Animal Science at Iowa State University. He produces Doc Talk on RFD-TV and online. He is also a partner in Production Animal Consultation. Dr. Dan also works with various segments in the beef industry to help connect the dots and foster what he terms a "One Beef Concept."www.doctalktv.comwww.pacdvms.com

Starting in June 2023, antibiotics will no longer be available for purchase at your local farm store.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Dan Thomson from the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University to discuss the effects and mitigation strategies resulting from heat stress in feedlot cattle. We discuss that heavy and black-hided cattle are at increased risk of heat stress, and control strategies should first target these groups of cattle when the temperature-humidity index (THI) is greater than 70 degrees F. Thomson states that the first thing cattle will do when experiencing heat stress is stand up, pant and decrease intakes. Bedding placed in pens can reduce surface temperatures by 20-30 degrees F, and providing shade that moves with the sun will also help to cool cattle. Building mounds for cattle to be further away from surface heat and allow more exposure to moving air will also decrease heat stress in cattle. Thomson reminds our listeners that water is the most important nutrient to cattle, especially in times of heat stress events. Cattle will drink 3x dry matter intake normally, but during hot weather they will drink 5x dry matter intake. Ensuring access to clean water with adequate trough space is important. We also discuss removing barriers to airflow in feedlot pens and using low stress handling techniques or stopping all movements during times of intense heat stress. Thomson also discusses his television show Doc Talk which is available on RFD TV and has a wide audience for discussing issues important to cattle veterinarians and producers.

For this interview, I had Dan Thomson the Marketing Lead of Insurace.io join me from the big crypto conference in Lisbon, Portugal.  Excuse the background noise as he was right n the middle of the event and was kind enough to take some time in his busy conference schedule and call back home tot he United States to talk to me.  Insurace.io is a software protocol for decentralized insurance for the Decentralized Finance world.  Are you worried about venturing into that DeFi platform that your friends have been telling you about?   Contract audits are already becoming necessary, however, with insurance, you can pretty much guarantee that you will not suffer a tremendous loss by entering the DeFi space. Both individuals and institutions are catching on to crypto and it will be interesting to see where the insurance sector develops in this space. With Insurace, you will have that firm footing you need to explore the space freely.   https://www.insurace.io/

Today we tackle a subject some people might view as controversial. We’re interviewing JUUL Labs UK MD Dan Thomson. JUUL’s mission is to improve the lives of the world’s one billion adult smokers by driving innovation to eliminate cigarettes. Why might that be controversial? Because vaping is new, growing, and not well understood. Hopefully today’s podcast helps you form your own opinion. This week’s topical chat provokes a question for listeners! How much is the average (UK citizens) data worth? Answers on Twitter please: @tech___talks Finally - the day is here! Our LIVE podcast is tonight..

A conversation with Dr. Dan Thomson, Professor of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University, about production livestock agriculture and cattle in particular.  How are antibiotics and hormones used?  How do they affect human health?  How is "animal welfare" defined in livestock agriculture?  Do Confined Animal Feed Operations (CAFOs) meet standards of animal welfare?

Got to speak with Dan about his grow room experience. Great conversation. Happy HVACing!
