Podcasts about Google Glass

Back in 2014, Google Glass made the dream of smart glasses a reality for the tech-obsessed. But a hefty price tag and divisive design prevented Google from bringing its vision to the masses. A decade later, Meta seemingly cracked the code, offering affordable, fashion-forward smart specs in frames by established brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley. WIRED senior gear editor Julian Chokkattu and staff writer Boone Ashworth join David to discuss whether Google's new Android XR platform, which the company debuted in May, can give Meta a run for its money. They'll also discuss some of the thorny ethical issues surrounding AI-powered frames and where the industry is headed next.

What if diagnosing PTSD, anxiety, and depression could be as objective as a blood test — done in 10 minutes on your phone?That's the vision behind Sensei, a company using AI and ocular biometrics to bring measurable, objective diagnostics to mental health. In this episode, host Deborah Westphal sits down with David Zakariaie, founder and CEO of Sensei, to talk about the science of the eye, a $2M technology problem solved with a commercial camera, and why fixing mental health starts with fixing measurement.Key TakeawaysMental health's biggest crisis isn't just a shortage of care — it's a measurement problem. Major depression, the most commonly diagnosed mental health condition in the U.S., is misdiagnosed approximately 65% of the time. PTSD, bipolar, and schizophrenia are misdiagnosed between 84–92% of the time.Sensei's diagnostic app shows patients a series of ocular stimuli for roughly 10.5 minutes, captures their eyes' responses via a standard smartphone camera, and outputs a binary diagnosis plus a severity score.The platform measures approximately 45 individual metrics across three categories: traditional ocular metrics (pupil size, blinks, saccades, gaze), iris dilator and sphincter dynamics (mapping sympathetic vs. parasympathetic nervous system activity), and heart rate and heart rate variability from facial video.Sensei is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials for a PTSD diagnostic, with an FDA submission planned for late 2025 and approval expected in 2027.About 16,000 people participated in pre-trial studies; the full dataset at submission is expected to reach approximately 30,000.The go-to-market strategy focuses on telehealth platform integration — partnering with companies like Spring Health, Talkspace, and BetterHelp to embed the diagnostic tool directly into existing care delivery workflows.Future expansion targets schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, with longer-term interest in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia.About David ZachariaDavid Zakariaie is the founder and CEO of Sensei, a mental health diagnostics company building the first FDA-regulatory-grade platform for diagnosing and monitoring PTSD, anxiety, and depression using AI-powered ocular biometrics. His path began at 15, when he attended Google I/O, received an early pair of Google Glass, and became fascinated with the scientific potential of the human eye. He left high school after 10th grade, taught himself to code, and launched the company in 2015.Resources & Links MentionedSensei: sensei.health (verify current URL)Mental Health Study (Phase 3 Trial Sign-Up): mentalhealthstudy.orgKaren Toffler Charitable Trust: tofflertrust.org (verify current URL)Parea Therapeutics (digital therapeutics reference)The CAPS-5 (Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale)The PCL-5 (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5)If You Enjoyed This EpisodeSubscribe to Research Renaissance wherever you listen to podcasts.

Wer ein Braille-Notizgerät nutzt, eine 40er Zeile benötigt oder sich für smarte Brillen interessiert, findet in dieser Episode handfeste Informationen. Manfred Jaklin, Geschäftsführer von IPD aus der Region Hannover, gibt auf der SightCity 2026 einen ausführlichen Überblick über aktuelle Entwicklungen bei zwei Produktfamilien, die viele Nutzer in Deutschland betreffen. Zu Beginn geht es um Envision: Die Envision Glasses, die auf Google Glass basiert, ist am Ende ihrer Verfügbarkeit angelangt. Was das für Bestandsnutzer bedeutet und wie es bei Envision als Unternehmen weitergeht, beantwortet Jaklin so offen, wie es der aktuelle Informationsstand erlaubt. Den Hauptteil des Gesprächs nimmt das neue BrailleSense 7 von HIMS ein. Es erscheint in drei Varianten mit 20, 32 und 40 Zellen. Die Braillezeile unterstützt nun Touch-Gesten für Cursor-Routing und Navigation, ein seitlich angebrachtes Scrollrad ermöglicht schnelles Navigieren durch Texte und Menüs und eine aufsteckbare Qwerty-Tastatur gehört zum Lieferumfang. Ein optionaler Zusatzakku verlängert die Laufzeit auf 30 Stunden. Jaklin erklärt zudem, wann die einzelnen Varianten verfügbar sein werden und warum das 20er-Modell diesmal die gleiche Gehäusegröße wie das 32er bekommt. Abschließend kommt die Braille eMotion zur Sprache, die sich laut Jaklin als Verkaufsschlager etabliert hat, sowie die Frage, ob zukünftige Softwareerweiterungen in Planung sind.

It's 2011, and two Stanford students have built eyeglasses with a tiny camera inside. Their a prototype paves the way for Meta Ray-Bans, the first tech-enabled eyewear to truly go mainstream after attempts like Google Glass fizzled. But in integrating their smart glasses into our daily lives, Meta has created something else: a tool for mass surveillance.

Welcome to The Unconventional Path: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Stories and Ideas. In this episode, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman sit down with a truly deep thinker: Tom Chi. As a founding member of Google X, Tom has spent his career at the intersection of high-stakes technology and profound creative philosophy.When asked the common social question, "What do you do?", Tom doesn't lead with his work on Google Glass or self-driving cars. Instead, he identifies as an artist. With a professional background in songwriting, painting, and graphic design, Tom views any discipline approached with a deep sense of care and craft as reaching the level of artistry. For Tom, this introduction is a litmus test; it filters out "career climbers" and invites genuine connections with people who value mastery and discipline.One of the most compelling parts of the conversation focuses on how we learn. Tom argues that every human is a "genius" between the ages of zero and five. During this window, children learn to coordinate their bodies and master multiple languages with almost zero feeling of effort.Tom teaches that this intrinsic ability is often "trained out of us" as we grow. To illustrate this, he compares a baby learning to walk to a corporate professional. When a baby falls, they might cry for a moment, but they immediately get back up and try again. They don't stop for a postmortem analysis or hold a series of staff meetings to analyze the "failure".Drawing from his experience in rapid product development and rapid prototyping, Tom explains that his high-level consulting is essentially teaching adults how to learn like five-year-olds again. The secret lies in removing the emotional and psychic weight we attach to the word "failure". By stripping away the trauma of falling down in one's career and focusing on fast experimentation, we can return to a state of effortless learning and innovation.Join Bela and Mike for this fascinating dive into the mind of one of the world's most innovative thinkers and learn how to unlock your own unconventional path to success.Connect with The Unconventional Path:Our podcast is now available on YouTube.

As director of Keyhole, Dave Lorenzini delivered the 3D Earth zooms that ran on CNN during the 2003 Iraq War — netting five million users in a month. Sergey Brin was one of them. Google bought the company and poured in billions to build, fuel, and serve maps. As Google Earth, it forever changed how we relate to space.From there: pioneering work on Google Glass, AR platforms, and running an immersive XR lab in Europe for Draw & Code exploring the future of spaces, places, and faces. Today Dave directs Quantum Studio, building World Agent and 4D ID — the "DNS for real space," an addressing layer where every place, object, and moment gets a name AI systems can agree on. His thesis: the next decade of AI won't run on better maps. AI needs an operating system for reality. Not a map. Not a database. A living, queryable foundation where every place on Earth answers for itself.AI XR News: The OpenAI vs. Musk trial continued with damaging testimony from Mira Murati and Greg Brockman.

General-purpose AI can answer almost anything, but that flexibility becomes a liability on the factory floor.In this bonus episode, Chris sits down with Angelo Stracquatanio, CEO of Apprentice, a purpose-built AI company for manufacturers and the creator of A1: The AI Agent for Manufacturing Teams.Angelo has spent 12 years building software for the people on the shop floor, starting in the pharma manufacturing suites where a 200-page paper binder sparked the idea for the company.The conversation covers the origin story of Apprentice, the ‘Predict and Prepare' framework behind its biggest pivots (including the COVID response that helped produce 300 million vaccine doses), and what it looks like to become AI-native as a business. Angelo also tells the story behind A1, the AI Agent for Manufacturing Teams.This episode's for any manufacturer trying to separate AI hype from AI that can be trusted in production.In this episode, find out:Why Angelo named the company ‘Apprentice' 12 years ago and why the meaning has only become more relevant in the AI eraHow the product evolved from AR headsets and Google Glass into a full ISA 95 manufacturing stackWhy stacking AI inside a single manufacturing system traps it behind four walls, and what a new layer above the stack can do differentlyAngelo's personal path from writing every line of code himself to CEO leading the company through multiple pivotsThe ‘Predict and Prepare' framework behind the team's COVID response, and how it has guided four or five major business movesWhat Angelo has learned over 12 years about building a leadership team around complementary weaknessesWhy a custom-trained model and a constrained workflow engine are what give manufacturing AI the precision and trust it needs for production useEnjoying the show?

After a staggering $90 billion loss on the Metaverse, Mark Zuckerberg is pivoting. But this time, he's not building a virtual world—he's buying into a physical one. We're breaking down the strategic brilliance (and desperation) behind Meta's rumored stake in EssilorLuxottica and why the tech giant is using Prada as a trojan horse to get smart glasses onto your face. From the failure of Google Glass to the "aesthetic hardware" revolution, we discuss why tech is finally waving a white flag to the fashion industry.Note- somewhere in this episode I mentioned that Dior is licensed to EssilorLuxottica.

“In the book I spend a bunch of time basically teaching skills and teaching frameworks of thinking. Not to indoctrinate, it's not a framework like an ideology where you need to believe exactly these things. This is a lot more about how does one use their minds effectively to solve problems that have been solved before. Of course, I work on things that have to do with investment and climate and the future of the economy and automation. The main things I'm trying to teach in the book are skills around creativity, critical thinking, community compassion and frameworks around how to go and use that on problems that should be relatively portable to a bunch of problems that are meaningful to you. The way that education needs to change is that people need to actively be working on things that truly matter to them so that over time they end up being able to go make that difference.”Tom Chi is a physicist, designer, inventor, and investor whose work has shaped everything from Google Glass and rapid prototyping at Google X to some of the most ambitious climate technologies being built today.

“In the book I spend a bunch of time basically teaching skills and teaching frameworks of thinking.

Wearable tech is having a moment. Partly based on early reads about the success of Meta's Ray-Ban glasses, Meta just signed a 10-year lease for a physical store in Manhattan that will sell them. Meanwhile, Apple is set to launch its own competitor smart glasses soon, while Google is teaming up with Warby Parker on a similar product. But wearable tech, especially targeted toward a mainstream or fashion audience, has been hard to crack. For every successful product like the Meta Ray-Bans, there have been expensive flops like Google Glass and Apple's Vision Pro. For the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi, international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska and editor-in-chief Jill Manoff were joined by wearable tech expert Janey Park to discuss why some products take off and others fail. We broke it down into five rules for a successful wearable tech launch.

Google is trying to make smart glasses a bit more stylish through a new partnership. This comes after Google Glass failed to catch on and was discontinued. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Could smart glasses replace the smart phone as the number one consumer device? If you're like me, you probably remember the failure of Google Glass, which ended in 2015. Google may have exited the space early considering in 2025 global shipments of smart glasses hit 8.7 million units, which quadrupled 2024's level. Meta currently holds 85% of the market but realize that Apple, Alphabet/ Google, and Samsung are expected to launch AI equipped eyewear soon. I do wonder if this will hurt or help Apple since people may be buying more smart glasses and less high-end iPhones? There are concerns about privacy and data collection. Currently Meta is facing a lawsuit in the US that is seeking class action status. Seems like Meta can't get out of the news or the courtroom, but they do state that what the glasses collect stays on the user's device unless they choose to share it with the company. The smart glasses can see what you see and hear what you hear. You can have a conversation with the glasses the same as if you're talking to a person. Which means you may look like a crazy person standing there talking to yourself if people don't realize you have smart glasses on. Companies that would benefit from an increase in manufacturing of smart glasses, excluding the big companies I already mentioned, would include companies such as EssilorLuxottica, which is the owner of Ray-Ban and Meta's manufacturing partner, Qualcomm, which provides the central processor or the brains of the glasses, and Global Foundries. which takes care of the display technology. It appears this time; smart glasses may become as common as a smart phone in the next few years.   Is the market too expensive to buy the dip this time? With the increasing cost of oil and the turmoil in Iran the markets did see a correction, which is a drop of 10% or more from the peak. People have become so accustomed to just buying the dips without knowing the valuations of what they're buying, and many will probably do the same thing this time. Unfortunately, dip buying does not always work and given the current valuations, investors could be in for a bad surprise. Even with the recent pull back, the forward price/earnings ratio for the S&P 500 sits at 20 and is still 20% higher than the 20-year average. So even with the dip you're not buying companies on sale at these levels. Earnings can be adjusted and moved around with accounting rules, which means you're probably paying more than you believe if you don't understand accounting. Another indicator to look at is the forward price to free cash flow. This indicator takes out all the accounting craziness of how much some tech companies are spending on capital expenditures for artificial intelligence. Often, I find these two measures converge once the accounting catches up to the heavy capex spending and understanding both earnings and free cash flow is an important balance. The index currently has a forward price to free cash flow of 27.4 and that is nearly 40% above the 20-year average. Smart investors really should stop and think. They should realize they're paying a lot more for the S&P 500 than they thought. Free cash flow is not an accounting measure, and companies are not required to compute it for you. It's not that hard to calculate though as you start with cash from operations and then deduct all the capital expenditures. This is where the devil is in the details because this is where you will see how overvalued many tech companies are because of the billions of dollars they're spending. The big risk here is the return on investment will likely not come very quickly and maybe not at all. This doesn't mean you shouldn't invest in stocks as you can still find good quality equities that are generating very good cash flow and that you're not overpaying for the earnings or the free cash flow. Personally, those are the types of businesses I'm looking for when investing for myself and my clients.   Consumer prices spike in March due to Iran war While it was in line with expectations, the headline CPI rose 3.3% compared to last year. This was the highest annual rate since April 2024, and it was substantially higher than February's reading of 2.4%. The obvious reason for the increase was the change in oil prices. Energy showed an increase of 12.5%, largely due to a spike of 18.9% in gasoline prices. Month over month gasoline prices climbed 21.2%, which was the largest monthly increase since 1967 when the series was first published. Outside of the energy spike, prices did not look problematic considering core CPI, which excludes food and energy, saw an increase of 2.6% on an annual basis. This was relatively in line with recent months and was 0.1% below the forecast. While the Fed may be able to look through these inflation numbers, if energy remains elevated the concern is it will start to impact core CPI as well. Companies will need to start raising prices to offset their higher expenses due to energy costs. For example, airline fares, which rose 14.9% over the past 12 months would see further pressure. Deutsche Bank estimates that if jet fuel prices stay near current levels for a full year, airlines would have to increase ticket prices by about 17% to offset those cost pressures. Transportation would also be problematic with companies like Amazon, UPS, and FedEx needing to pay more to move goods around the economy. We have already seen the introduction of fuel and logistics surcharges and those will likely climb further if problems persist. On a positive note, the shelter index rose just 3.0% on an annual basis, which was tied for its lowest level since August 2021. As I have mentioned before, I anticipate shelter inflation will continue to decline as the year progresses. Overall, the main takeaway is if this Iran war can be contained and energy prices start to decline, which I think they will, inflation should not be a problem in 2026.     Financial Planning: Reporting a Backdoor Roth IRA Normally when income is above $236k for joint filers or $150k for single filers, the ability to make Roth IRA contributions is phased out.  A backdoor Roth IRA is a strategy that allows high-income taxpayers to fund Roth IRAs, but it needs to be done correctly.  It is a two-step process that involves making a traditional IRA contribution and then converting that contribution into a Roth IRA.  This can only be done if the account holder does not have any other pre-tax IRAs.  When the initial contribution is made to the traditional IRA, it needs to be reported as a non-deductible contribution.  When the funds are converted, a 1099-r is generated, and as long as the initial contribution was reported correctly, the conversion is not taxable.  The end result is a Roth IRA that can grow tax-free.  While this can be a benefit, it is crucial that everything is reported correctly to prevent filing errors, overcontributions, and amended tax returns.   Companies Discussed: ServiceNow, Inc.

“I give them a lot of credit because they use that so frequently, and that's why they have so much success. I mean, it is an iconic melody in and of itself, but it's that repetition and that usage, you know, whereas I feel like a lot of sound logo projects that come in, we'll get to the finish line and they'll be excited to use it, and then a month or two later, they'll be like, ‘We're not seeing quite the results that we'd hoped.' It's like, A, you're not going to see it after a month, and B, you've got to use it consistently, you know, and potentially in multiple places. State Farm does it right.” – Connor MooreThis episode is the second half of my conversation with founder and creative director of CMoore Sound, Connor Moore, as we talk about where AI voices might be taking sound design, how he became a juror at the International Sound Awards, and how sonic logos are making a comeback.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – Current Trends in Sound DesignThe second half of our discussion starts as Connor talks about neural voices, the latest breakthrough in AI voice clones, and how popular they're becoming with clients. “It's a very interesting space,” he says, “having a customized brain and voice that can constantly adapt, you know, and so we're seeing a lot more of that come through.” He talks about his work on Google Glass and how he might approach its UX design differently in today's world, and how he helped reshape the famous State Farm sonic logo. “'Here's a simple tweak at a foundational level,'” he recalls saying, “'Take away the square wave and use a sine wave at a base level.' And they were like, ‘Oh.' And we're already 65% there.”(10:47) – The Importance of SimplicityWe discuss his work with the International Sound Awards and the insights he's gained from seeing nominees from all over the world. “Most of the work I've reviewed in the last four years has been more kind of traditional sonic branding,” he tells us. “It's just great to be a part of that community and to hear all the cool work coming, because it's at a global scale.” He talks about the resurgence of sound logos in today's market, and the lesson to be learned from State Farm's branding success. “The iconic nature of that example is the melody,” he says, “the melody that's been around for so long. But I think that what I would say is just, you know, use it lightly. Be careful with overusing it.”(24:47) – The Future of Sonic BrandingOur conversation wraps up with what he's working on now, and the trends he's seeing in branding and audio UX design. “Industries that you might not expect,” Connor explains, “old school industries that are becoming more tech focused, for example... which I think is interesting, because I think sound as a technology [is] starting to touch industries of old that are modernizing.” He tells listeners how they can get in touch, and shares his perspective as someone on the forefront of sonic branding. “I'm working on very emerging technologies,” he says. “I'm working on older industry segments that are stepping into new technology, I'm working in automotive... it's a good balance that keeps me engaged.”Episode SummaryOur discussion on the rise of wearable technology and voice-driven experiences.Exploring how simplicity impacts sound design and brand perception.Connor's predictions on the evolution of audio branding and its applications.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

“Too much sound complicates things, it confuses things, and it causes annoyance and fatigue, too much brain power needed. Too much cognitive load, and it's a known fact. So oftentimes companies will come to me and say, ‘Hey, we have, you know, sixty sounds we want to create.' And I go, ‘Okay, cool. Let's take a look at the list. Let me understand your product a little better and let's try to find ways to strip it back.' Because, you know, that can be very overwhelming for users.” – Connor MooreThis episode's guest is a leading expert in audio UX and audio branding. As the founder of CMoore Sound, he's shaped how major brands like Google, Uber, Peloton, and Airbnb use sound to enhance their products and connect with audiences. Over the past fifteen years, he's helped define how sound influences everything from brand identity to user experience, and he's been featured in The New Yorker, NPR, and Google's Design series. He's also a fellow judge for the International Sound Awards, which is how we met. His name is Connor Moore and his work shows how sound isn't just decoration, it's a powerful tool that shapes how we feel, navigate, and interact with the world.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – Connor's Audio Eureka MomentOur conversation starts with Connor's early memories of sound, and how quickly he came to realize in college that audio branding wasn't really a thing in marketing. “It really begged the question for me of why aren't brands thinking about sound and music like they are for their visual branding,” he explains. “So that, to me, was a bit of a eureka moment and really kind of set me on my path.” He talks about how both old-time jingles and current audio brands like Netflix get it right when it comes to repetition, and his process for getting clients what they need to establish their audio brand. “With my business,” Connor tells us, “I'm involved at every stage… that's a big value add. Having a veteran in the industry in the room at all times and really guiding the work, that is really the biggest differentiator.”(12:23) – The Evolution of Sonic BrandingConnor tells us about some of his current projects, including a major car company that needs a creative approach to sonic branding. “They're a product first company,” he says. “It's an automotive company. Without the product, you don't have the brand. So that is the biggest touch point for their customers. And you can do the audio branding process through UX. It's really the same process.” He shares the insights he gained from working with companies like Samsung and Lucid Motors, and tells us about the early days of audio-first UX. “Back then they were just very simple kind of ringtones and alarms,” he says. “And what I did is I went in and really crafted really long form compositions that gradually pick up over time, you know, with volume, percussion, harmonics, [and] complexity.”(26:15) – Creating a More Thoughtful SoundscapeAs we come to the end of the first half of our discussion, Conner tells us how he balances the functionality of UX with the distinctiveness of audio branding. “There should be a level of cohesion across the experience,” he explains. “But there should also be levels of distinction. So a welcome sound for an in-car experience could be very soft and inviting, whereas, like, for a collision sound, it can't be soft. You know, it has to be kind of in your face.” We talk about the value of silence, and how knowing when not to make a sonic impression can be as important as making one. “There's a lot of power in simplicity and silence,” he says. “That is the biggest takeaway of my time in this space.”Episode SummaryConnor discusses his first experiences with sound and sonic branding.We explore how sonic branding has become more intentional over the years.Our discussion turns to the need for thoughtful, pleasing soundscapes.Tune in for next week's episode as we talk about the latest developments in AI-driven neural voices, Connor's pioneering work at Google Glass and on State Farm's famous sonic logo, and how companies that don't necessarily need a musical jingle can still take advantage of an audio brand.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Tom Chi was a founding member of Google X — the team behind self-driving cars, Google Glass, and deep learning AI. At the peak of that career, he watched a coral reef die outside his home in Hawaii. In eight weeks, it was gone. That moment changed everything. Tom founded At One Ventures to fund companies building that future.In this episode, Tom breaks down why the climate crisis is not a political debate — it's a physics problem. And physics doesn't negotiate.⭐ Sponsored by Podcast10x - Podcasting agency for VCs - https://podcast10x.comWe cover:- The calculation Tom ran in 2012 that predicted mass fires, floods, and displacement by 2022 — and why nobody was talking about it- Why "green premium" is a myth, and how AT1 Ventures finds climate tech that is cheaper than the incumbent- The physics framework he uses to evaluate every deal: matter, energy, time, and space- Why Venezuela is a live case study in what the petrol-first worldview actually produces- The difference between sustainable, net zero, and net positive — and why only one of them is the right target- Why freshwater scarcity is a management problem, not a supply problem- What ancient civilizations in Hawaii and South Asia got right about working with nature — that we've completely forgottenTom is also the author of Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future (Wiley, Feb 2026).Timestamps:(00:00) - Why Tom Chi left AI and robotics to focus on climate change.(00:32) - Disagreeing with Bill Gates' "green premium" concept.(01:09) - Introduction to Tom Chi's background and AtOne Ventures.(02:54) - Tom Chi on his career and the mission of AtOne Ventures.(03:58) - The personal story of watching a coral reef die and how it changed his career path.(08:00) - Using physics to predict the rise in climate volatility a decade ago.(10:45) - The realization that climate change is a time-sensitive problem that can't be delayed.(12:38) - Discussing global inaction and the influence of the fossil fuel industry on geopolitics.(14:32) - Contrasting the US's fossil fuel policy with China's dominance in green technology.(18:25) - Why climate change is a physics problem, not a political debate.(20:47) - The thesis that green technology must be cheaper, not more expensive, to scale.(21:54) - The investment framework: Using physics to find economic advantages in green tech.(26:08) - How green energy can compete against the policy influence of the cash-rich oil industry.(29:15) - The difference between "sustainable" and "net positive."(31:52) - Is freshwater scarcity a real and urgent global risk?(32:11) - Reframing the water crisis as a mismanagement of hydrological cycles, not a scarcity issue.(36:08) - The real choice: Deciding the level of human misery, not "saving the planet."(39:34) - Rapid-fire round: Investment sectors and regions.(41:19) - Typical stage and check size of investments.(42:23) - How to get in touch with Tom Chi and AtOne Ventures.(43:16) - Final thoughts on the "category error" of treating scientific truth as a political debate.

New Book: Climate Capital — Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future | An Interview with Tom Chi | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli What if the economy isn't broken — just badly designed? Tom Chi, Google X founding member, inventor of 77 patents, and venture capitalist at At One Ventures, joined me on An Analog Brain In A Digital Age to discuss his new book Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future. From the streets of Florence to the strip malls of Silicon Valley, from the mechanics of attention capture to the physics of ecological economics, this conversation goes far beyond climate. It's about how we design the systems we live inside — and whether we have the will to redesign them before it's too late.

Send us a textWelcome to our second neighborhood basic bitch! This time we're collaborating with San Francisco podcast - Storied: San Francisco and talking all things Mission District. This is our third to welcome multi-hyphenate, San Francisco born and raised, and Mission resident H.P. Mendoza on to the podcast. As we enjoyed the backyard of the bar Zeitgeist, H.P. gives us his experiences on growing up around the Mission, hopping on busses to sneak in to movie theaters, how multi-culti living in this part of the City was just a couple of decades ago, and also his current mainstays in the neighborhood. All of us round robin about some of our now favorite and missed businesses (and people) in the Mission. RIP KitKat! There is also a tangent about that Google Glass incident that happened in 2014 (not 2004 as we all thought) in the lower Haight neighborhood of the City. It was a pivotal time in San Francisco. Thanks so much for listening!

Send us a textWhat does it take to build safer clinicians, not just better test takers? We sit down with pediatric critical care pioneer and simulation leader Tonya Schneidereith to trace a career defined by curiosity, courage, and a relentless focus on patient safety. From early days as one of the first PICU nurse practitioners in the country to associate director of simulation at Johns Hopkins, Tonya reveals how mentorship, research, and design thinking shaped her approach to teaching and assessment.We dig into her medication safety work using Google Glass to capture the learner's point of view, exposing why accurate math still leads to dangerous IV pump programming when context is missing. That insight led to national recommendations on verifying dosage calculation competence and a sharper focus on debriefing. Tanya shares a memorable morphine case where most learners turned up oxygen as ventilation failed, and how a single probing question in debrief uncovered the real driver behind a “correct” action. The lesson is clear: simulation must illuminate decision-making, not just outcomes.Tonya also opens the doors to SIMPL Simulation, the consultancy she co-founded to elevate faculty development, program design, and simulation operations. She walks us through a bold project with BSA LifeStructures and Wake Tech Community College: a true simulation hospital spanning EMS arrival, diagnostics, acute care rooms, an operating room, and a live MRI. It's a blueprint for interprofessional education that makes teamwork the default. We then explore responsible AI in healthcare simulation, drawing on a new white paper Tonya helped shape. Ethical integration, transparent limits, and scenario design that builds judgment are essential as AI becomes part of daily clinical work.If you care about better debriefing, safer medication practices, AI in nursing education, and simulation spaces that teach as powerfully as people do, this conversation will sharpen your approach. Listen, share with your team, and tell us the one change you'll make in your next sim.

The best part of a failed business idea is that multiple people sign off on something that completely backfires and that's what Steed and Jrad are investigating in this week's Chubstep. First the guys discuss Jrad's quick trip to Las Vegas with a magician dealer, and why bald guys are more attractive because they have nothing to hide. For the main topic the guys start with the Pepsi Harrier jet marketing disaster, only weirdos using Google Glass, Netflix's dive back into DVD's, a juicer that no one could afford, a chip that caused anal leakage, toaster bacon and a phone that started on fire, a free flight promotion that took down Hoover UK, Space Jam 2 that no one asked for, the uncool Microsoft Zune, new Coke's loss of lifelong customers, and a Harley Davidson perfume.

Today's guest is David Petrou, Founder & CEO at Continua AI. Founded in 2023, Continua has brought the power of LLMs to group chat. Most AI tools today operate in “single-player” mode, but we're social creatures, inspired and motivated through group conversation. So Continua asked: what if AI could be a quiet, helpful member of the group? That question led to Social AI - technology that fades into the background, acting not as a demanding interface but as a shared layer of intelligence that strengthens human connection.David and his team are building AI that helps people feel more connected, not less. He believes technology should strengthen empathy and relationships, not compete for attention. Previously, David was a Distinguished Software Engineer (L9) at Google, where he helped create Google Goggles and Google Glass, and led efforts to bring machine intelligence to Pixel and Android. His career centers on exploring how technology can understand context and quietly enhance meaningful human connection.In this episode, David talks about:0:00 His journey from Google veteran to AI entrepreneur founding Continua AI2:20 How AI has evolved from single-user tools to collaborative group intelligence5:58 How Continua adds socially intelligent AI to everyday group chats10:23 Expanding from group chat AI to real-time group collaboration13:10 Simplifying coordination and strengthens real-world social connections15:51 Building complex group-AI tech through strong, collaborative teamwork18:41 How Continua pursues social AI toward AGI, with strong team and hiring

A Note from JamesWhat does it take to make a discovery that changes the world? Think about landing on the moon — a true moonshot. Along the way, countless technologies were invented that reshaped life back on Earth.My guest today, Astro Teller, has been part of that same kind of world-changing work. At X — Alphabet's Moonshot Factory — he's led projects that gave us self-driving cars, Google Brain, drone delivery, augmented reality with Google Glass, and much more. We even talk about quantum computing, drones that bring your groceries to your backyard, and the mindset it takes to believe in something that once sounded like science fiction.Astro and I first crossed paths when I visited Google X back in 2012 or 2013. He was on this podcast in 2015, and now, ten years later, he's back to talk about his own show — The Moonshot Podcast — and the latest bold projects that could shape our future.Episode DescriptionAstro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at Alphabet's X, joins James to share how impossible-sounding ideas become real. From Waymo's self-driving cars to Wing's drones, from the birth of Google Brain to breakthroughs in quantum networking and modernizing electric grids, Astro explains the engineering mindset that drives innovation.This episode goes beyond technology — it's about how to think like a moonshot maker. You'll hear how X chooses projects, why systems engineering often matters more than pure science, and how to break down massive problems into solvable steps.What You'll LearnThe three elements that define a true moonshot at X.Why self-driving cars succeeded not because of new science, but because of paradigm-shifting systems engineering.How Google Brain kickstarted the modern AI revolution by betting on scale when neural nets were out of fashion.Why Wing's drone delivery service may soon feel as ordinary as rideshare apps.How Project Tapestry is mapping and optimizing the electric grid to cut connection times from years to days.The promise (and risks) of quantum networking, quantum sensing, and the looming “Q-Day” when current cryptography could break.Why empathy is crucial for workers displaced by new technologies.Timestamped Chapters[01:00] A Note from James[04:00] Inside Alphabet's Moonshot Factory (X)[06:00] Defining moonshots: problem, radical solution, breakthrough tech[08:00] Waymo and the hidden challenges of self-driving cars[13:00] Safety, comfort, and the “body language” of cars[17:00] Google Brain and the rebirth of neural networks[20:00] Cats, YouTube, and AI's first big proof point[23:00] Wing: drones delivering groceries like magic[29:00] Moonshot mindset vs. the Apollo mission[31:00] How X evaluates and selects moonshots[34:00] Breakthroughs behind Waymo and simulation at scale[39:00] What if every car was autonomous?[40:00] Project Tapestry: modernizing the electric grid[45:00] Mapping PJM and national-scale grids[46:00] Lessons from Google Glass: too early, or misframed?[48:00] The future of AR glasses and AI assistants[51:00] Why X left longevity research to Calico and Verily[52:00] Quantum computing, networking, and sensing explained[57:00] The coming “Q-Day” and what it means for security[59:00] AI, jobs, and the importance of empathy[61:00] Closing thoughts and Astro's Moonshot PodcastAdditional ResourcesThe Moonshot Podcast with Astro Teller (YouTube)X, the Moonshot FactoryWaymo (Self-Driving Cars)Wing (Drone Delivery)Google BrainProject Tapestry – Grid ModernizationPJM Interconnection (Eastern US Grid)Calico (Alphabet's Longevity Research)Verily Life SciencesSandbox AQ (Quantum & AI)Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer ScienceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
