They emphasize the importance of intentionality in creating sacred spaces free from technological distractions and offer thought-provoking questions to help listeners assess their relationship with technology and its impact on their spiritual life.   Questions to ponder this week: Ask yourself, in the presence of God, where am I?  Am I addicted? Is there any way in which I am a slave or in which I am in bondage to my technologies?

Welcome to AI Lawyer Talking Tech, the podcast dedicated to exploring the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence and the legal world. In an era where AI is profoundly reshaping how legal services are delivered across continents, we are witnessing an expansion of opportunities for efficiency and innovation. From automating complex document analysis and accelerating legal research to transforming case management and client support, AI is becoming an increasingly integrated tool for law firms and legal departments globally. Yet, this rapid evolution also presents a unique set of challenges, including critical debates around intellectual property ownership, stringent data privacy regulations, and the ever-present need to ensure ethical and unbiased application. Today, we'll delve into how legal professionals are harnessing these powerful technologies, balancing their transformative potential with the essential human expertise, judgment, and oversight that remain at the heart of effective legal practice. Join us as we examine the evolving landscape, where technology and legal acumen converge to define the future of law.Harvey opens Sydney office to expand AI legal services in Asia-Pacific2025-09-10 | SecurityBrief UKBurford Expands Legal Industry Footprint with Strategic Kindleworth Deal2025-09-10 | JDJournalSoftware: Secured Signing Joins Clio's App Directory to Simplify Digital Legal Document Signing2025-09-10 | Publishers NewswireBay Legal, PC and XPRTS Inc.

Our 21st century digital age provides countless and unprecedented opportunities for identity development and cultural engagement. But how might these new means of social interaction impact religious institutions and their public image?On today's episode of Scholars & Saints, host Nicholas Shrum seeks out these answers with the help of Oklahoma State University's Professor of Media and Strategic Communications Rosemary Avance. In her recent book, Mediated Mormons: Shifting Religious Identities in the Digital Age, Avance explores how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints created and negotiated its public image during the "Mormon Moment" of the 2010's. Avance and Shrum discuss the different media focuses during this period, including Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, online discussions around caffeine, the Gospel Topics Essays, and more.You can learn more about Rosemary Avance, her research, and her academic interests by visiting her faculty page.

More than just a tech discussion, this episode brings the conversation back to the foundations of our faith, exploring what the Bible says about humanity, sin, and technology.Key Discussion PointsUnderstanding AI: The team breaks down what AI is, from its simplest form as predictive text to the complex models that power today's chatbots like ChatGPT.AI's Promise and Peril: The conversation dives into the "gospel of AI," exploring its promises of progress, utopia, and even immortality, and contrasting this with the biblical narrative of creation and human nature.Biblical Foundation: We turn to scripture, including Genesis 1-3 and the Tower of Babel, to understand our identity as humans created in God's image and our inherent desire to be "like God." The discussion highlights the importance of trusting God over human inventions.The Cost of Convenience: The podcast explores the hidden costs of AI, from the environmental impact of data centers to the ethical implications of data scraping and the human toll on those who train these models.Faithful Living in the AI Age: The episode concludes with a practical call to action, offering insights on how Christians can live wisely, discern the spiritual implications of technology, and draw a line between using technology for good and trusting in it for salvation.Resources & RecommendationsThe Life We're Looking For by Andy CrouchThe AI Revolution by John LennoxThe Convivial Society Substack by L.M.

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with James Anderson, co-owner of Saturn Press with his with Diedre. The humble greeting card might seem like a relic in our digital age, but as James reveals, these tactile treasures carry meaning far beyond their paper boundaries. James shares how Saturn Press creates distinctive cards using vintage presses from the 1940s-60s, explaining that the very constraints of letterpress technology drive a creativity that digital perfection cannot replicate. "I'm not a Luddite who hates technology," he clarifies. "I just love that technology from 60 or 80 years ago remains relevant today." These limitations in color palette and printing technique result in cards that feel comforting, unique, and beautiful – qualities increasingly sought after in our screen-dominated world.  Behind each Saturn Press card lies a thoughtful process of selecting art from their extensive ephemera collection, commissioning licensed artists, or revitalizing work from overlooked historical artists. The company prints on carefully selected natural white paper with deckle edges, creating a wholesome tactile experience that enhances the visual design. Sustainability guides their decisions too, as they work to eliminate plastic from packaging while maintaining the product's integrity.  Perhaps most compelling is James's insight into why greeting cards still matter: "A sympathy text just doesn't cut it. If you're participating in a social relationship, you want to show it's worth enough to buy a nice card, write something meaningful, and put it in the mail." This intentionality explains why independent bookshops increasingly embrace stationery as both a profit center and a natural extension of their literary community.  Discover the magic of letterpress and why these cards aren't just purchased but treasured, displayed, and even framed as keepsakes. Visit saturnpresscards.com to experience these distinctive designs for yourself. Saturn PressThe Gold, Neil Forsyth and Thomas TurnerSupport the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

Norwegian filmmaker Audun Amundsen, director of Click the Link Below, which premiered at Doc Edge in Auckland, follows online gurus like Akbar Sheikh and Tai Lopez to show how engagement algorithms reward extremes and blur value with hype. Audun traces an unlikely path from renewable energy engineer and backpacker to documentarian, surviving a stroke at 23 before returning to Indonesia that resulted in his previous documentary Newtopia, a 15-year chronicle of a community's shift from barter to money, with a focus on human nature over gloss. He also cites his earlier feature Help! I've Gone Viral, plus inspirations like Juan Carlos Rulfo's In the Pit and Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Audun champions smart self-distribution, keeping VOD rights and building film funnels, and urges filmmakers to research financial backers, lead with value, and market your film as thoughtfully as you shoot.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

Your dopamine system is being hijacked every day, and the way to reclaim it might surprise you. This episode reveals how pain, pleasure, and addiction are wired in your brain, and how to use that knowledge for real brain optimization, resilience, and longevity. You'll discover why your dopamine levels control motivation, focus, mood, and even cravings—and the science-backed strategies that reset your neuroplasticity, metabolism, and reward system. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Anna Lembke, Stanford psychiatrist and bestselling author of Dopamine Nation. She is one of the world's leading experts on addiction, compulsive behavior, and the neuroscience of reward pathways. With decades of clinical work and groundbreaking research, she explains why dopamine has become the modern lens for understanding desire, distraction, and dysfunction—and how we can hack it to upgrade human performance. They break down how dopamine drives addiction, why pain can reset your reward system, and how simple practices like fasting, cold therapy, and supplements affect your brain chemistry. You'll learn how nicotine, GLP-1 drugs, and even nootropics alter dopamine sensitivity, and why overstimulation from social media, pornography, and ultra-processed food is creating an epidemic of anhedonia. The conversation also covers how functional medicine and biohacking can protect your mitochondria, restore your natural dopamine balance, and make your brain more resilient. You'll Learn: • Why dopamine itself is not addictive—and what really drives addiction • How pain, hormesis, and “dopamine fasting” can reset your reward system • Why social media and digital overstimulation create chronic dopamine deficit states • The role of GLP-1 drugs, nicotine, psychedelics, and other substances in rewiring dopamine • How functional medicine and supplements help restore dopamine balance • The connection between dopamine, mitochondria, fasting, cold therapy, and longevity • Why radical honesty and self-binding are powerful anti-addiction hacks This is essential listening for anyone serious about hacking dopamine for better focus, sleep optimization, metabolism, and long-term brain health. Whether you're curious about the link between dopamine and neuroplasticity, looking to upgrade human performance with smarter not harder tools, or just want to know how to stop dopamine hijacks from ruling your life, this episode gives you the science and strategies you need.

The salient point of our discourse centers around the necessity of genuine physical presence within the context of communal worship and the sacraments, as elucidated in First Corinthians 11. I assert that the disunity and discord present in the early church, as highlighted by St. Paul, serves as a cautionary tale for contemporary congregations. Our conversation traverses the implications of remote sacraments, particularly concerning the nature of communion and its significance in fostering unity among believers. Moreover, we delve into the theological nuances that differentiate various denominational practices regarding the Eucharist, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of sacramental elements. Ultimately, I invite listeners to contemplate the multifaceted relationship between physical presence, community, and the sacred acts that unite us in faith.A salient theme of this episode is the dichotomy between traditional sacramental theology and the emerging practices of digital ministry in response to contemporary challenges. The dialogue navigates the critical question of whether sacraments, particularly communion, can maintain their intended spiritual purpose when administered remotely. The speakers, including various pastoral voices, articulate differing perspectives influenced by their respective denominational backgrounds. While some advocate for the necessity of physical elements and ordained ministry in sacramental practices, others entertain the notion that genuine community and engagement can occur even in virtual spaces. This nuanced dialogue highlights the ongoing tension within the church regarding the nature of presence, grace, and the adaptability of sacred practices in an ever-evolving cultural landscape, prompting listeners to reflect on their theological convictions and communal responsibilities.In this episode, the speakers engage in a thoughtful exploration of the implications of remote sacraments on the church's understanding of presence and community. Drawing from scriptural insights and lived experiences, the discussion reflects on how traditional practices of communion and baptism may need to adapt in light of modern realities, including the limitations imposed by health crises. The speakers present a compelling case for the necessity of maintaining a unified understanding of sacraments while recognizing the diverse expressions of faith that exist within the broader Christian community. By sharing personal anecdotes and theological reflections, they invite listeners to consider how the church can embody the spirit of communion even in a digital age, without compromising the profound significance of these sacred rites. The episode ultimately challenges the audience to think critically about the future of church practices and the essential nature of community in the life of faith.Takeaways: The discussion emphasizes the necessity of physical presence in practicing sacraments, as highlighted by Professor Moreland's insights on the significance of communion for church unity. Participants explored the challenges of conducting sacraments remotely, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, raising important theological questions about presence and community. The conversation delved into the diversity of sacramental theology across denominations, with each speaker offering unique perspectives on the implications of remote sacraments. The hosts and guests acknowledged that while digital ministry can foster connection, it cannot fully replace the embodied experience of communal worship and sacramental participation. Key insights were shared about how different Christian traditions understand the elements of sacraments, particularly the importance of bread and wine in the Eucharist. The round table concluded with a call for curiosity and open dialogue among Christians, urging listeners to engage with diverse

Social media is full of images of unhoused people that's either meant to make you angry or laugh. For Leah Goodridge, this content is a new form of 'poverty porn.' 'Poverty porn' used to refer to charity commercials showing malnourished children to evoke empathy from sympathetic viewers. But according to New York City attorney and tenant advocate Leah Goodridge, that kind of imagery has shifted into something more: rage bait. With the center of that rage being homeless people. Leah Goodridge joins Brittany to get into how social media, our legal system, and societal narratives around homelessness create a culture that punishes and mocks people in need.For handpicked podcast recommendations every week, subscribe to NPR's Pod Club newsletter at npr.org/podclub.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

How can lawmakers and public servants design policies which benefit from continuous learning?? How will government offices that learn and adopt agile practices be able to achieve better outcomes for the public?Jennifer Pahlka is a senior fellow at the Niskanen Center, founder of Code For America, and the founder of the US Digital Services under the Obama administration. She is also the author of Recoding America: Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better.Greg and Jennifer discuss why the government struggles with adopting modern digital practices such as agile and waterfall methods. She explains the disconnect between policy-making and implementation, emphasizing the need for a more integrated and feedback-driven approach. They explore other topics such as the over-reliance on contractors, burdensome procurement rules, and the essential role of user research in creating effective digital services. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:How feedback loops can make government more agile06:07: Turns out that when you implement this policy in the way that you are telling me, we get a really perverse outcome. If there is no feedback loop to send that information back up to the decision makers, you get a lot of wasted money, you get a lot of perverse outcomes, you get a lot of angry people. But, you know, when the architects can say, or the builders can say, actually no, you can go into a discussion about that, then you have not just an agile development process, but you have a more agile government process.​​The system, not the people, is broken30:37: It is not that public servants are lazy or stupid. It is that the system that they are working in is just ill-fit, it is just ill-suited to the job we need it to do.Why government keeps building concrete boats30:58: So you are referring to the story I have in the book of this guy at the Veterans Administration (VA), which, by the way, has gotten so much better. He is kind of a leader now. But I am questioning him about this project that we are working on at the USDS, sort of what was pro-USDS before. It was one of the first engagements that were sort of testing out the thesis of the USDS. And I kept asking. This guy was a senior leader in technology in the VA. Like, why is it built this way? Why did you make this decision? And over and over, he says, that is not my call. You have to ask the procurement people, or the program people, or the compliance people. He just did not have answers. And I asked him why he was so deferring on all these. And he said, if they ask us to build a concrete boat, we will build a concrete boat. And I said, why? And he said, well, because that way when it does not work, it is not our fault. And that speaks to the incentives. Your incentive is to make sure that when it does not work, it is someone else's fault.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Department of Government EfficiencyCode for AmericaAgile software developmentWaterfall modelYadira SanchezGrace HopperBrooks ActPaperwork Reduction ActOffice of Information and Regulatory AffairsCharles WorthingtonEzra KleinGuest Profile:Niskanen Center ProfileWikipedia ProfileJenniferPahlka.comLinkedIn ProfileSocial Profile on XSocial Profile on InstagramGuest Work:Recoding America: Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do BetterSubstackMedium
