Welcome to episode #1038 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when technology feels simultaneously more powerful and more opaque than ever, Marcus Fontoura is making a case for something many people feel they've lost: agency. A Technical Fellow and Corporate Vice President at Microsoft, Marcus has spent decades helping build the infrastructure that powers the modern internet, including leadership roles at Microsoft Azure, Google and IBM. His new book, Human Agency In A Digital World, is both a guide to understanding the technologies shaping our lives and a reminder that we are not merely passengers along for the ride. Drawing on his experience building cloud computing platforms and large-scale digital systems, Marcus demystifies everything from search engines and social media to artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure, arguing that technological literacy should be as fundamental as understanding economics or government. In this episode, Marcus explores the growing gap between the people building technology and the people living with its consequences. He discusses social media's impact on mental health, misinformation, polarization, AI's role as a prediction engine rather than an autonomous intelligence, and the importance of regulation in areas where technological progress has outpaced public understanding. At the same time, Marcus offers a deeply optimistic vision of the future. He believes that access to information, computing power and AI tools can empower a new generation of scientists, entrepreneurs and problem-solvers to tackle challenges ranging from healthcare and education to climate change and scientific discovery. Rather than viewing technology as something happening to us, Marcus argues that understanding how these systems work is the first step toward shaping how they evolve. What emerges is a thoughtful conversation about curiosity, responsibility, innovation and the enduring role of human judgment in an increasingly digital world.

Buy yourself a mug and sticker!!!   Visit the Peace Love Moto Store!Today, we take a hard look at what might be underneath the rise of lightweight electric motorcycles and electric dirt bikes with middle school riders. Kids are coming of age in a hyper-connected world of nonstop news, social media pressure, and algorithm-driven anxiety where reality can feel shaky and attention is constantly monetized. From that angle, the “rowdy kid” may also be a stressed kid chasing something real and physical. For many of us, motorcycling has always been a kind of moving meditation, and we explore how that same pull might be showing up in the next generation through electric bikes.We then get practical. We talk about the skills kids can develop on two wheels, why protective gear and boundaries matter, and why some parents may be confused about legality or simply overwhelmed. We also borrow a lesson from the skateboard era: when communities built skateparks, safety improved and conflict dropped. What would community electric motorbike parks or designated dirt tracks look like today, and how could they reduce illegal riding on sidewalks and streets?Keywords:  Electric Motorcycles, Two Wheels, Digital World, and Moving Meditation.Support the showTags:  Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, DGR, Mindfulness, Motorcycle riding, mindful motorcycling, motorcycle therapy, nature connection, peace on two wheels, Rocky Mountain tours, rider self-discovery, spiritual journey, motorcycle community, open road philosophy.

On this episode of The Disciple-Making Parent Podcast, we talk with Tim Challies about how Christian families can think clearly about technology in a world where screens, social media, and now AI are everywhere. We look at the real numbers shaping teen life, the risks that often stay hidden until it is too late, and three common responses to new tools: enthusiastic embrace, strict separation, and disciplined discernment. We also explore a distinctly Christian framework for technology. We are image-bearers called to create and use tools for good, while recognizing how sin twists every technology toward harm and idolatry. Finally, we consider what is coming next, including AI, augmented reality, and transhumanism, and how we can choose practices that help our families use technology to love God and serve others.-----Managing Your Households WellWant to lead your family (and your home) with wisdom in a distracted age?

Stewart Alsop interviews Nizar, CEO of Pixel Robotics, on the Crazy Wisdom Podcast to explore the intersection of AI, robotics, and perception. The conversation covers a wide range of technical topics including how transformers enable multimodal representation across text, images, and voice, the role of world models in predicting physical interactions, the advantages of diffusion models over traditional LLMs for certain applications, and the challenges of achieving real-time processing for robotics applications. Nizar explains Pixel Robotics' work on creating accurate 3D meshes from smartphone cameras for companies like L'Oréal, moving away from specialized sensors to make the technology more accessible through sophisticated algorithms, and discusses the future of robotics as closing the perception-action loop to enable robots to perform real tasks beyond simple demonstrations.

Pixel Robotics derives its name from combining perception and action in robotics, where the pixel represents the digital perception component and robotics represents the physical action component. The pixel serves as a metaphor for how robots must quantize and digitize continuous analog information from the real world into discrete units that computer systems can process, similar to how pixels are the fundamental building blocks of images on a screen. This quantization process is essential because numerical systems cannot work with truly continuous data and must convert reality into tractable digital representations that algorithms can manipulate.2. The transformer architecture has created a fundamental unification in how different types of data can be represented and processed across multiple modalities. Before transformers, researchers working on natural language processing, computer vision, and audio analysis used completely different approaches and methodologies. The breakthrough of transformers was establishing a common representational framework that could handle text, images, voice, and other data types using similar underlying mechanisms. This unification is what enabled the development of truly multimodal AI systems and represents one of the most significant advances beyond just the language modeling capabilities that initially gained public attention.3. Current transformer-based systems represent a brute force approach to learning that will likely be superseded or enhanced by more efficient algorithms. Despite claims that we have exhausted internet text data for training, significant improvements continue to emerge every few months through algorithmic innovations rather than simply adding more data. Future developments will likely involve more specialized attention mechanisms that focus on relevant information rather than correlating everything with everything, mixture of experts architectures with small specialized models, and approaches inspired by biological systems such as logarithmic compression laws and event-based processing that humans use naturally.4. Diffusion-based language models represent a promising alternative to standard next-token prediction that could produce more accurate outputs through an iterative refinement process. Unlike traditional language models that predict one token at a time and cannot revise earlier outputs, diffusion models treat text generation like image denoising, starting with a noisy representation and progressively refining the entire output across multiple steps. This holistic approach allows the model to reconsider and improve all parts of the response simultaneously, potentially leading to higher quality results, though it may be slower than current autoregressive methods. This represents an important direction for overcoming fundamental limitations in how language models currently generate text.5. For robotics applications, real-time performance and small model size are critical constraints that differ significantly from the requirements of large language models deployed in data centers. Vision transformers are being used as a testbed for developing efficient real-time algorithms because they require far fewer computational resources to train and test compared to large language models, making them more practical for rapid experimentation. The goal is to achieve millisecond-level response times with minimal memory footprint so that robots can react quickly to dynamic environments and run on affordable hardware that can be embedded in actual robotic systems rather than requiring expensive server infrastructure.6. Practical robotics implementation requires moving beyond specialized sensors to software solutions that work with ubiquitous devices like smartphones for tasks such as three-dimensional reconstruction. Pixel Robotics evolved from building specialized scanning hardware to focusing on algorithms that can generate high-quality mesh representations of environments using only smartphone cameras, making the technology far more accessible and practical for real-world deployment. This approach enables applications ranging from industrial robotic arm control to virtual showrooms, and more importantly, it allows anyone to capture three-dimensional data without expensive equipment, which can also help generate larger training datasets for future AI development.7. The next frontier in AI and robotics is closing the perception-action loop to enable robots to perform real practical tasks rather than remaining as demonstration systems or toys. While significant progress has been made in cognitive capabilities through language models and in robotic mobility through mechanical engineering advances, the critical challenge is integrating perception with action through systems like Vision-Language-Action models. The fundamental starting point for learning this integration is simple perception-action exercises, such as programming a camera mounted on servo motors to track and center a colored object, which demonstrates the basic principle of using sensory input to drive physical response that underlies all more sophisticated robotic behaviors.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I'm joined by Erin Walsh to talk about something so many of us are navigating in real time: kids, screens, and the social world they're growing up in. We get into what's actually happening beneath the surface when kids feel left out, why social media raises the stakes during adolescence, and how tech can amplify the skill gaps that kids are still building. We also talk about what the research really says about online risks, from body image to unwanted contact, and how to stay connected with our kids without turning every conversation into a lecture. This episode is a grounded, practical look at how to support kids through a digital world that wasn't built with their development in mind, while still protecting connection along the way.

Feeling like your digital business is scattered, heavy, and quietly draining you? In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Michel Ai Reavis explores the hidden energetic cost of digital clutter and scattered systems in a spiritual business. While modern tools promise ease and efficiency, many spiritual entrepreneurs find themselves overwhelmed, fragmented, and drained by the very platforms meant to support them. This episode gently brings awareness to how digital environments impact not just productivity, but also clarity, creativity, and presence.Through relatable examples and compassionate insight, Michel reveals the deeper layers of what scattered systems truly cost - mental load and time leakage to energetic disruption and diluted impact. She speaks directly to the spiritually-led entrepreneur, illuminating why intuitive, heart-centered work requires a supportive and aligned digital foundation. Listeners are invited to reframe their tools not as obligations, but as sacred containers that can hold and nurture their work, energy, and message.This episode also offers a powerful vision of what's possible on the other side of digital overwhelm: a business that feels calm, organized, and deeply supportive. With a gentle reflection practice and an invitation to explore a more aligned way of working, Michel reminds listeners that the solution isn't more tools. It's more intention, simplicity, and alignment. This is a loving call to move from scattered tabs… into sacred flow.Topics CoveredThe real reason digital clutter drains your energy (beyond time management)How scattered tools create mental load and decision fatigueThe hidden “time leakage” that slows your business growthWhy energetic flow matters for spiritual entrepreneursThe connection between your digital environment and your nervous systemHow fragmented systems dilute your message and impactReframing tech tools as sacred containers and support systemsA simple awareness practice to identify where you need supportWhat a calm, aligned, and supportive digital business actually feels likeAn introduction to creating a “Digital Sanctuary” for your workIf you've been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or quietly drained by the backend of your business… this episode is here to hold you.Take a deep breath, press play, and allow yourself to reconnect with what it feels like to be supported not just in your work, but by your work.Tune in now and begin your journey from scattered tabs to sacred flow.Contact:michel@moneylighthouse.com

In fact, Keir Starmer has been working to launch it under the guise of stopping "mass migration." While there are mandates in place, the greater issue is, how will it be used against the average person? Under the guise of "stopping" mass migration (which the same state brought in to cause culture wars in the first place) and crime epidemics (which have stemmed from state policies), governments worldwide are bringing in their own brands of digital IDs. In fact, several countries already have a full fledged digital ID system. Sierra Leone has one constructed by Bill Gates himself. King Charles helped introduce "The Great Reset" at the World Economic Forum in 2020. The goal is to create a global technocracy where humans depend entirely on machines. In fact, with the data centers being built to surveil everyone worldwide, technocracy is being brought in to harvest humans. Humans are no longer creating machines to help them. Machines are using humans to aid them in their international hive mind. It's a Godless beast that is being created. A new Tower Of Babel. The US is bringing in 5 year social media history mandates for entry. FISA 702 was just extended by President Trump which allows mass warrantless surveillance. Cameras have been put on the interstate system complete with AI facial recognition readers that determine whether people are "suspicious." Internet IDs have been launched in the United States including in Missouri. A major Trojan Horse. Bank surveillance has been initiated in the US by executive order, the UK by mandate and in places like Canada, banks are rolling out social credit scores. 63 central banks enabled Basel 3 bail-ins which can liquidate your money. UK government nudge units are being used to force people onto carbon credit scores. AI is being developed in a way (admittedly by people like Elon Musk) that will destroy humanity and end employment. Not to worry! The WEF, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Sam Altman all have the same solution! UBI! Universal Basic Income. As the food is rationed due to shortages and the world falls into war, the emergency orders are quickly coming in to develop the new global technocracy. Data centers as big as 62 square miles are being built in places like Utah among 3500 other data centers worldwide. Private companies are developing currencies to side step constitutional CBDC laws.

There's a theorem being tested about how AI reaches general intelligence. Carina Hong's answer: through mathematics. Carina is the founder of Axiom, and in less than a year of building, her team's AI has scored a perfect 120/120 on the Putnam mathematical competition — a test where more than 50% of brilliant undergraduates score zero. More concretely, Axiom Prover has reached 98.93% on a Lean software verification benchmark that leading alternatives solve at 11–12%. In this conversation with Matt McIlwain, Carina explains her central thesis: that math and code are the two pillars of the digital world, and that any AI infrastructure missing a formal verification layer is structurally incomplete. She walks through the history of verified AI research at Google, DeepMind, OpenAI, and Meta, and explains why each effort stalled just as commercial pressure mounted. She describes what makes hardware and software verification the natural first commercial market, and what Axiom discovered when they tested their prover against circuits that industry-standard formal checkers could not verify. For founders and operators trying to understand what's actually changing in AI capability, and for anyone building in adjacent infrastructure spaces, this is a map of where the frontier is and where it's heading.

We are living through a fascinating moment at work. Technology keeps getting faster. AI keeps getting smarter. And digital tools keep changing how we communicate, collaborate, and lead. But here's the thing: The more digital our world becomes, the more human our leadership has to be. Because people still need clarity. They still need trust. They still need connection. They still need leaders who know how to communicate with care, intention, and presence. My special guest today is Jacqueline Langlois, and she's simplifying how to leverage Human Intelligence in a digital world. Here's how. My special guest today is Jacqueline Langlois and she's simplifying how to leverage Human Intelligence in a digital world. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: What "Human Intelligence" really means, and why these skills matter even more in a world that is becoming more digital, automated, and AI-enabled. What she means by "Gen D," the digital generation, and how this shift is changing the way leaders need to communicate, connect, and build trust. How to think about the "leadership thermostat," and why leaders set the tone for their teams instead of simply reacting to the temperature around them. How to communicate through screens in a more human way, stop making assumptions, and bring greater intention to digital conversations. And how leaders can rebuild clarity, confidence, and communication when they feel stuck, shaken by change, or caught in imposter syndrome.

Much has been written about the ill effects of our over-reliance on our on-life life with endless content, algorithm-driven polarization and pressure to publicly present oneself.  In this podcast, our guest, Patricia Martin, author of “Will the Future Like You: Reflections on the Age of Hyper-Reinvention,” argues that the damage goes even deeper.  It is eroding the ability to form and sustain one’s identity.  Are we hyper-focused on presenting a version of ourselves that will get likes and friends in a virtual world or have we done the hard work to figure out who we are at our core?  What makes all this more difficult is the fact that many of the institutions designed to help us foster that growth and understanding of our identity are crumbling.  We’re reminded that identity is formed in three ways–how we see ourselves, how others see us, and our will to shape ourselves.  The balance in this triad is now skewed and leading to a host of issues for the generations growing up in a digital world.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Self Esteem and Confidence Mindset, we sit down with Norman JN Lobb, science fiction author specializing in near-future techno-thrillers, quantum systems gone rogue, and the collapse of digital civilization, to explore how technology impacts our identity, self-worth, and what it truly means to be confident and human in the digital age.Norman crafts stories that fuse hard science with human emotion, creating pulse-pounding narratives that ask the questions we're all grappling with: How do we maintain our humanity, confidence, and authentic self when technology threatens to define us? His debut novel, "Awakening Protocol" (first in the Quantum Synchronicity OS series), explores these themes through realistic speculative tech.

Show NotesMountainview ChurchJeremy's WebsiteNorthern Roads by Jeremy NortonThe Yukon BoysJeremy's InstagramThe Pastorate's City MeetupsEpisode DescriptionIn today's conversation, Jason sits down with Jeremy Norton, lead pastor of Mountainview Church in Whitehorse, Yukon. Jeremy's story is one of patience and faithful presence in a part of Canada that many people have never seen firsthand. From southern Ontario to Alaska, Alberta, and eventually the Yukon, Jeremy reflects on the road that led him to serve Canada's north and the deep sense of calling that kept drawing him there.Jason and Jeremy talk about the realities of pastoral ministry in Canada's smaller and more remote contexts. Jeremy shares what it has meant to pastor in a place marked by cultural diversity, geographic isolation, and deep spiritual need, and how those realities have shaped his approach to leadership, preaching, and life in the church. He also reflects on the unique burdens many pastors carry in smaller churches and under-resourced communities, along with the creativity, resilience, and dependence on God those settings can draw out.The conversation also explores the ways Jeremy's life in the North has shaped him personally. Through hunting, fishing, and subsistence living Jeremy is uniquely attuned to God's provision through creation and he shares about what it means to receive life with dependence and gratitude. Jason and Jeremy reflect on how life close to the land can deepen faith, and why a more grounded, embodied way of living may have something important to offer in an age marked by distraction and disembodiment.In this episode you'll hear:Jeremy's journey to Whitehorse and his call to pastoral ministry in the Yukon,What ministry in a smaller, remote, and diverse context can teach us about pastoring,Why Jeremy carries a burden for under-resourced pastors and smaller churches across Canada,How hunting, fishing, and subsistence living have shaped his faith and spirituality,What faithful leadership can look like outside the world of scale, platform, and visibility,Why embodied Christian community may matter even more in an increasingly digital world.PartnersSpecial thanks to the Canadian Bible Society for making this episode possible.

In this special episode, I explain why we're re-hosting the Unbounded archive at Ungovernable Misfits and end the series with a forward-looking conversation with Colonial, author of Sovereignty Requires Privacy: Lessons from the Fall of Samourai Wallet. Tbd and Colonial explore sovereignty as territorial control—physical and digital—and why exposure is the enemy in a world where information is the battlefield. Colonial unpacks how privacy tools challenge the geopolitical order, why martyrs lose, and why the next era belongs to disciplined, anonymous builders who move with intention. They walk through practical lessons from the Samourai saga, from the limits of playing by “their” rules to a new code for anon warfare, and close with actionable steps listeners can take now, including adopting Ashigaru's Whirlpool implementation and strengthening operational discretion. This one is about clarity over nostalgia: either you control your territory, or someone else will. Resources mentioned: Colonial's writings at sovereigncolony.com; Ashigaru Wallet and Terminal (ashigaru.rs) for Whirlpool; reading on territoriality (Robert Ardrey's The Territorial Imperative) and philosophical frames (Nietzsche, Evola).TWITTER: https://x.com/TheUNBOUNDEDPodYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnboundedPodcastHELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools DONATE TO THE FAMILIES ----> https://www.givesendgo.com/billandkeonneSUPPORT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ---> https://billandkeonne.org/(00:00:00) Thank You TBD(00:01:41) INTRO(00:03:28) Welcome Colonial(00:06:25) Defining Sovereignty: Territory, Power and the Digital World(00:11:46) Samourai Wallet and the Declaration of War(00:20:22) The Five Lessons(00:41:31) Without Privacy There Is No Freedom(00:57:05) The New Model(01:08:12) One Rule for the Next Era

We have willingly been mentally restrained by technology, daily gifting our captors the mental cuffs to keep us psychologically bound. Haven't you realized this yet? Then they already have you. While this may seem like an intriguing sci-fi movie, it is the reality of our current digital overwhelm. To break these invisible chains, we must prioritize intentional self-care and commit to nurturing selfhood in the digital age. Only by reclaiming our attention can we move from being mere data points back to being the conscious architects of our own lives. To discover the necessary process of nurturing selfhood in the digital age, Harvesting Happiness Podcast host Lisa Cypers Kamen welcomes cultural analyst, researcher, speaker, and author Patricia Martin. Patricia explores the new frontier of intermittent reinforcement that jams the human operating system, and how her book, Will the Future Like You? Reflections on the Age of Hyper-reinvention can help people prepare for what's coming next and reclaim autonomy in an AI-driven world. Like what you're hearing?

Rachel and Dave also explore the role of AI and offer tips for building a successful marketing strategy.

Information technology and digital services are a rapidly changing sector operating in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. International bodies have struggled to fast-track standards for the digital services industry, and major companies have adopted their own. These trends risk creating a more fragmented world in which digital trust and safety suffer. To protect universal human rights, companies and governments need to speak the same language to identify industry best practices. The question remains: Which international bodies and frameworks are best equipped to address these challenges?Joining Shane are two experts working on the Digital Trust and Safety Partnership, David Sullivan and Farzaneh Badiei. The Digital Trust and Safety Partnership is an industry consortium focused on delivering best practices for protecting human rights in digital services. David Sullivan is the executive director of the partnership and previously served as the co-chair of the Digital Safety Risk Assessment Framework at the World Economic Forum's Global Coalition for Digital Safety. Farzaneh Badiei is head of outreach and engagement at the partnership and is the founder of Digital Medusa, an organization that promotes sound digital governance.

In this episode of The Forgotten Podcast, Jami sits down with Dr. Stephanie Shackelford, a Senior Fellow at Barna Group, to talk about the power of relationships, purpose, and tech-free spaces for improving kids' mental health. Dr. Shackelford shares insights from her recent Barna report, Gen Z, Mental Health and Wellbeing.   Dr. Shackelford discusses the six themes identified in her research for supporting Gen Z mental health, including the critical need for tech-free spaces and consistent rhythms for connection. She explains that the youth mental health crisis, marked by skyrocketing anxiety and depression, correlates with the rise of smartphone availability between 2010 and 2015. Throughout the conversation, she offers practical advice for parents on setting boundaries, such as removing phones from bedrooms and dinner tables, and modeling healthy technology use.   This conversation eflects on how to cultivate purpose and meaning in Gen Z, arguing that focusing on purpose—using one's gifts to serve others—is more fulfilling than chasing happiness. This discussion highlights that half of Gen Z Christians value seeing Christianity promote good in the world more than knowing it is true. She emphasizes that in-person church attendance is a major buffer against poor mental health outcomes like suicide and depression, encouraging families to prioritize being contributors at church and cultivating a culture of service at home.   This episode is an encouraging reminder that when parents and caregivers approach these changes with a humble vision and start with small, actionable steps, they can foster deep connection and meaningful purpose for their children.   About the Guest Dr. Stephanie Shackelford is a Senior Fellow at Barna Group.
