Kate O'Neill discusses the impact of AI and automation on business and human flourishing in her latest book, "What Matters Next." She introduces the concept of a now-next continuum, which helps leaders navigate the uncertainty of the future by connecting past knowledge with present realities and future possibilities. This framework aims to empower decision-makers to make coherent choices amidst the chaos of rapid technological advancement and cultural acceleration.O'Neill emphasizes the importance of viewing AI not merely as a tool for automation but as a means of augmenting human capabilities. She acknowledges the fears surrounding automation but argues that many applications of AI can enhance efficiency and effectiveness in the workplace. By shifting the focus from job elimination to task augmentation, organizations can leverage AI to improve workflows and foster a more human-centric approach to work.An example O'Neill shares involves a utility company in Latin America that successfully implemented conversational AI to enhance customer service. Rather than solely focusing on cost-cutting, the company aimed to improve customer satisfaction metrics. By allowing human operators to access information quickly through AI, they were able to provide better service while also upskilling employees for new roles within the organization.Finally, O'Neill highlights the significance of data in decision-making, framing it as a representation of human interactions and relationships. She advocates for a human-centric approach to data collection and analysis, ensuring that organizations use data to make smarter, more empathetic decisions. By aligning technology with meaningful human outcomes, businesses can navigate the complexities of the modern landscape while prioritizing the well-being of their customers and employees.

Show Notes: Patterns in the ChaosDon't be a VictimMay 2, 2025Show Notes: Patterns in the ChaosOverviewThis week's newsletter “Patterns in the Chaos” explores how individuals and organizations can move from passive observers to active agents of change. In an era defined by conflicting signals—tech giants under legal fire, explosive AI adoption, and lofty visions of abundance—the key is to identify cross-cutting patterns and choose which future you want to build.Our content spans court battles over monopolies, the rise of agentic AI in enterprises, evolving capital markets, debates over human value in an automated world, and strategic adaptation in turbulent times. Listeners will gain insights into how these forces interconnect and shape the next chapter of technology, policy, and society.Key Trend 1: The Rise of Agentic AI in EnterpriseSignificance: AI is shifting from a research topic to a mission-critical operational layer. Organizations are embedding autonomous software agents into R&D, go-to-market, and everyday workflows.Talking Point 1: Widespread Agentic AI AdoptionTalking Point 1: Nine in ten R&D teams plan to implement agentic AI this year, signaling a transition from experimentation to production.“91% of R&D Respondents have implemented or are planning to implement agentic AI” (David Poole, Georgian & NewtonX – https://georgian.io/agentic-ai-adoption-insights-from-600-executives/)This momentum underscores that AI planning, reasoning, and execution capabilities are now viewed as essential for competitive R&D.Talking Point 2: Re-Architecting Infrastructure for AgentsTalking Point 2: Companies are considering the web browser as the next OS-level platform for AI agents.“We need to build an OS-level agent, and a browser is essentially a containerized operating system” (Aravind Srinivas, on Spyglass – https://spyglass.org/ai-web-browser/)To avoid catastrophic misinterpretations, teams must also cultivate robust semantic layers that feed agents the context they lack.“Teams will become cultivators of a constantly evolving collection of cross-domain semantic layers” (Tom Tunguz – https://www.tomtunguz.com/semantic-layer/)Key Trend 2: Monopoly, Regulation, and the Future of Tech PowerSignificance: High-stakes antitrust actions against Apple and Google are not just about market share today but about control over tomorrow's AI and distribution channels.Talking Point 1: Google's Default Search Under ScrutinyTalking Point 1: The Justice Department warns that Google's exclusive search deals could “supercharge” its AI rollout and foreclose competition.“Default placement … could be leveraged to ‘supercharge' new AI offerings, ensuring consumers turn first to Google” (David McCabe, NYT – https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/technology/google-antitrust-trial-ai.html)Regulators argue that data-fuel advantages from search defaults give Google an unfair head start in AI services.Talking Point 2: Apple's App Store DefianceTalking Point 2: A federal judge referred Apple to criminal prosecutors for ignoring a 2021 injunction on App Store anti-steering rules.“Apple's goal: to dissuade customer usage of alternative purchase opportunities and maintain its anticompetitive revenue stream” (John Gruber, Daring Fireball – https://daringfireball.net/2025/04/gonzales_rogers_apple_app_store_ruling)This decision forces platforms to reassess how they enforce fees and policies, with potential global ripples.Key Trend 3: Capital Markets Evolution—New Funding Paths and VC ModelsSignificance: Funding mechanisms are diversifying—SPACs are back, VC firms are retooling their partnership models, and founders must navigate changing incentives at each stage.Talking Point 1: SPACs Make a ComebackTalking Point 1: After a rocky 2021, blank-check companies are targeting sectors from autonomous trucking to nuclear power.“Kodiak Robotics announced a SPAC merger at a pre-money valuation around $2.5 billion” (Joanna Glasner, Crunchbase – https://news.crunchbase.com/public/spac/tariffs-ai-robotics-crypto-biotech/)Startups see SPACs as a viable alternative to traditional IPOs, attracting capital at scale.Talking Point 2: VC as a “Full-Stack” Support PlatformTalking Point 2: Andreessen Horowitz redefined venture capital by building specialized teams (talent, marketing, regulatory) around each investment.“Founders deserve more than just capital, but a comprehensive, long-term support system” (a16z – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpBDB2NjaWY)This contrasts with multi-stage funds whose “pipeline” approach can inflate early valuations without seed-stage expertise (Taavet Hinrikus, 20VC – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvHnRxKdg2M).Key Trend 4: Human Agency, Abundance, and the Value of PeopleSignificance: As automation and AI proliferate, human skills, relationships, and democratic participation become scarce—and thus, strategic—assets.Talking Point 1: From Scarcity to Abundance Requires Purposeful PolicyTalking Point 1: Ezra Klein's “Abundance” review criticizes timid calls for incremental reform and urges a democratic blueprint for real abundance.“This is the real discussion we need to be having: how can we achieve the disruptive level of change required for an actual abundance agenda in a democratic fashion.” (Albert Wenger – https://paragraph.com/@continuations/abundance-book-review)Bold policy and collective agency are essential to realize unlimited access to what humans need.Talking Point 2: Human Interaction as a Luxury in the Digital EraTalking Point 2: AI companions and curated human engagement are emerging as valuable services for the socially isolated.“New technologies often feel dystopian, until they feel commonplace … AI friends are a good thing, actually.” (Rex Woodbury – https://www.digitalnative.tech/p/ai-friends-are-a-good-thing-actually)“Human engagement is often reserved for those who can afford it, leading to a society where personal attention is a luxury.” (Humans As Luxury Goods – https://platforms.substack.com/p/humans-as-luxury-goods-in-the-age)Key Trend 5: Strategic Adaptation Amidst ChaosSignificance: Periods of upheaval create openings for startups and organizations that can navigate uncertainty, discipline pilots toward production, and rethink industrial strategy.Talking Point 1: Chaos as a Catalyst for Creative DestructionTalking Point 1: Startups thrive as “tricksters” in turbulent times, deploying architectural innovation to topple incumbents.“Periods of upheaval … create opportunities for startups to disrupt entrenched incumbents.”(Packy McCormick – https://www.notboring.co/p/chaos-is-a-ladder)Embracing uncertainty can be a deliberate strategy for reinvention.Talking Point 2: Overcoming “Death by 1,000 Pilots”Talking Point 2: The real challenge is not launching PoCs but scaling them into production with robust infrastructure, monitoring, and operations.“It's easy to fire up a pilot … you can get stuck in this ‘death by 1,000 pilots' approach.” (Rodney Zemmel, McKinsey Digital, via O'Reilly – https://www.oreilly.com/radar/death-by-1000-pilots/)Companies must build clear paths from experimentation to value realization.Discussion QuestionsHow can enterprises avoid “death by 1,000 pilots” while rapidly scaling agentic AI capabilities?What are the trade-offs between antitrust interventions (e.g., breaking up defaults) and the risk of stifling AI innovation?In a world where human interaction becomes a luxury, how should companies balance automation with services that emphasize personal touch?Can SPACs and “full-stack” VC platforms coexist, or will one model dominate early-stage funding in the next cycle?Given the tension between incremental regulatory fixes and calls for disruptive abundance agendas, what level of policy boldness is both feasible and desirable?How might a forced sale of a browser or default search slot reshape the competitive dynamics of AI distribution? (Controversy: divestiture as remedy)Are hyper-optimistic growth projections (e.g., OpenAI's $129 billion by 2029) fantasy, or do they play a functional role in mobilizing capital? (Controversy: realism vs. hype)Closing SegmentAcross regulation, capital, technology and human value, one pattern emerges: agency matters. Whether you're a founder, policy-maker, or individual, inertial forces abound—but so do levers for change. Embracing agentic AI, reshaping capital structures, demanding bold policy, and elevating human skills can turn chaos into opportunity. As we close, remember: “History is decided by human decisions taken in real time.” What decision will you make today to shape tomorrow? This is a public episode.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the complexities of human relationships? You're not alone. In a world filled with challenges, the Brahmaviharas offer us a lifeline—four divine abodes that can transform our interactions and elevate our spirits. In the latest episode of the Death Dhamma podcast, host Margaret Meloni invites us on a journey through the heart of compassion. She illuminates the path of Metta, Karuna, Mudita, and Upeka—concepts that aren't just philosophical; they're practical tools for navigating the stormy seas of modern life.

Are you somebody who really cares about wildlife and conservation and you're trying to get people to change their behavior? Reduce their carbon footprint? Get them to not litter? Or keep their cats indoors to save birds? Whether it's getting people to switch to clean energy sources or eating less meat to help save the planet, all of these things all require human behavior change, and the foundation of such change is communication. A lot of people tend to think we just need to educate people more - that people have a deficiency in knowledge, and that if only we could get people to understand the data and studies like we do, then they would see the error in their ways. But as we've seen with well-researched topics with lots of supporting data and studies like climate change and vaccines, this is not true. There is more to it! We need effective communication, which requires dialogue. This week's podcast is inspired by two events: (1) the results of the 2024 election here in the United States where we saw the public vote for an administration that is anti-environment and science and (2) the aftermath of me reading an eye-opening, enlightening, and highly entertaining book on the subject of rethinking by social scientist Adam Grant: Think Again. In this episode I talk about how to be a more effective communicator, get people to rethink their opinions and values (including yourself!), and teach you how to have productive, engaging, and useful debates with people who think, at times, very differently than you. I am living proof it is possible!The lessons shared largely come from the book Think Again, but also my own personal experience engaging with and even being friends with people from “the other side.” You'll learn how to reframe your perspective on arguments so you don't feel exhausted, angry, or drained, how effective listening is critical in debate, and how providing nuance, multiple perspectives, and humility can make you more effective in changing minds. Often when we talk about working with wildlife, we think about it from the animal's perspective and studying the species, but in reality, almost all of the conservation solutions with declining biodiversity have to do with interventions on the human side. Want to save wolves? We need to reduce poaching. Want to save monarchs? We need to get people to plant more milk weed and reduce habitat loss. These things require interventions on the human side. So if you are someone who works in science or conservation, or are simply someone who wants to create more positive change in the world, then this episode is for you!Specifically I talk about: Why it's important to engage in debate and that it doesn't have to be hostile, exhausting, or heatedHow debate makes us stronger leaders and better scientistsHow spirited discussions helped Disney create Pixar's The Incredibles that went on to win two OscarsHow to reframe arguments into debates and learn how to dance rather than fightCommon “don'ts” and mistakes that many people make that close people off and cause them to dig more into their original beliefsHow to motivate someone to share information with youWhy facts alone don't work in changing mindsThat asking questions activates a rethinking cycle in your debate partner (and yourself!)Why listening is critical to getting people to open up and be receptiveHow the “vaccine whisperer” got people to vaccinate their children through non-judgemental empowerment and listeningThat binary or black and white thinking can actually cause people to move away from your causeHow uncertainty and humility can make you more effective in changing mindsAnd more!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?

Welcome to episode 96. Today, we're diving deep into a crucial yet often misunderstood topic — autistic burnout. Drawing from my own personal experiences, this episode unpacks the emotional and physical toll of navigating a world not built for neurodivergent minds. We explore the vital need for extreme rest as a form of recovery, and the persistent self-doubt fuelled by societal pressures to "bounce back." Join me for an honest, insightful conversation about burnout, rest, and reclaiming compassion for ourselves. Let's dive in! In this episode: Understanding autistic burnout – How environments clash with neurodivergent needs and the exhaustion of constant adaptation. The importance of extreme rest – Why extreme rest is essential for healing, demanding a conscious choice to pause, reset, and prioritise well-being over daily responsibilities. Self-doubt and feeling like a fraud - How self-doubt fuels the fear of "faking it," and the need for excessive kindness in self-validation.   For a more in-depth look at my journey through autistic burnout, you can view my Burnout Diaries playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs0wogq1CFJnd4DOjIAwqj5biNaxjSO6w   This episode is brought to you in association with Liz Reddish of Devonwell House Connect here: https://www.devonwellhouse.co.uk/hhnsignup https://www.instagram.com/devonwellhouse/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/liz-reddish-79143795/   Season 5 of this podcast is sponsored by Stephanie Ward of The Spicy Brain Collective.

Welcome to episode #973 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Alison Wood Brooks is one of the leading voices in understanding the science of human conversation, and her latest book, Talk - The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves, explores just how complex, delicate, and transformative our daily interactions can be. As a professor at Harvard Business School, Alison has spent years studying the psychology behind dialogue - why some conversations feel effortless while others fall flat, how we navigate social dynamics, and why even the simplest exchanges can shape our relationships and success. In our conversation, we explore the difference between Q&A and true dialogue, the often-overlooked art of reading the room, and the skills that can make or break an interaction. Alison shares insights on the role of AI in companionship, the way egocentrism naturally seeps into our conversations, and why teaching conversational skills is more critical than ever in a digital-first world. We also discuss the post-Covid social shift, the importance of face-to-face interactions, and how conversational missteps - something we all experience - can actually strengthen relationships if handled the right way. Her TALK Maxims (Topics, Asking, Levity, Kindness) offer a simple yet powerful framework for improving everyday communication, whether in personal relationships, business, or even in navigating difficult discussions. If you've ever struggled with what to say, when to say it, or how to be a better conversationalist, this episode will help you rethink the way you talk... and listen. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #972 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Dr. Tom Chatfield is one of those rare thinkers who seamlessly blends philosophy, technology, and human experience, making sense of the rapidly evolving digital landscape. As an author, tech philosopher, and educator, his work - including his latest book, Wise Animals - How Technology Has Made Us What We Are - explores how humans and technology have co-evolved over thousands of years, shaping not only how we work and communicate but how we think and perceive the world. Tom is also the author of How To Think, This Is Gomorrah, Critical Thinking and many others. In this conversation, Tom challenges the conventional narrative that technology is either a savior or a threat, arguing instead that it is deeply intertwined with who we are as a species. We explore the biases embedded in our digital tools, the generational shifts in how technology is understood, and the ethical dilemmas posed by AI's increasing influence on work, productivity, and decision-making. Tom also shared why soft skills - like empathy, collaboration, and critical thinking - are becoming more valuable than ever in an age where AI can replicate knowledge-based tasks but struggles with human connection. He reflected on the growing skepticism toward experts, the rising noise in legal and regulatory environments, and the fundamental need for doubt and self-awareness in how we design and interact with intelligent systems. Thought-provoking, insightful, and refreshingly nuanced, this conversation is for anyone who wants to engage with technology more thoughtfully, rather than passively accepting or fearing it.

What if your condemnation or redemption is in your own hands?

35 Instead, love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36 Be merciful (kindness to the ungrateful and wicked)l, just as your Father is merciful.37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap, for the measure you give will be the measure you get back."

Is the journal publishing process and the “game” around journal publishing forcing us to give up on big ideas and instead work on small ideas about trivial matters? We are not so sure. We think that science needs many different types of academics, and they have all sorts of different ideas, big and small, and we need outlets for expressing every single one of them. But outlets, like ideas, are not all equal. Journals are an incremental genre leaning toward rigor and thus risk type-2 errors. Book are an expansive genre learning towards big ideas – and thus risk type-1 errors. So the question is rather what type of scholar you are and whether you can handle the very different processes and mechanisms – those associated with big ideas that take a long time to develop, versus the production of smaller ideas and insights that incrementally push our knowledge forward.

When you think of sharks, do you think Jaws? Or a creature with enough understanding to seek help from a person? Would you be surprised to know, that someone has been working with sharks for years to the point, that they allow her to take out hooks lodged in their skin? Given our misconceptions of the creatures, I'd imagine you would be. Cristina Zenato is that person, who's a master diver and expert on sharks. She's built an amazing relationship with the sharks around the Bahamas, creating a deep connection with them, to a degree I can only understand through bonds we build with more familiar animals. In this interview Cristina gives us a deeper understanding of sharks, her ability to work with them, the virtue in knowing a single place deeply, the reality of the marine environment that's facing environmental destruction, and some wisdom from the sharks.

What happens when you mix raw conversation, big ideas, and zero planning? You get Random and Unscripted, the new show from Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli, where nothing is off-limits, and the discussion goes wherever curiosity takes it.For the debut episode, Sean and Marco dive into a topic that raises questions about privacy, workplace culture, and the role of AI—employee sentiment analysis. The premise? Companies are increasingly using AI to monitor employee communications to determine workplace relationships, conflicts, productivity, and even overall morale.The Ethical DilemmaThe conversation immediately turns to the big question: Do employees even know this is happening? Many companies require employees to sign agreements allowing some level of monitoring, but that doesn't necessarily mean employees are aware of how deeply AI is analyzing their communications. AI tools can assess emails, chat messages, and response times to determine if colleagues are cooperating, disagreeing, or potentially creating workplace tension.Marco raises an immediate concern—privacy. If AI is watching every written interaction, is it crossing a line? And if an algorithm is drawing conclusions about workplace relationships, who verifies that its assumptions are accurate?Can AI Understand Human Emotion?Sean questions whether AI can really capture the nuance of human interactions. Language barriers, sarcasm, cultural differences, and individual communication styles make it difficult for AI to determine intent. A delayed response to a message could mean frustration—or it could just mean someone was in a meeting. A short reply might indicate disagreement—or just efficiency.Marco brings up another issue: If AI misinterprets sentiment, could it influence real-world decisions? Could someone be reassigned, reprimanded, or even fired based on an algorithm's analysis? And if so, should AI have that much influence over human resources?Technology as a Solution—or a Problem?Sean and Marco explore the broader question of technology's role in society. If AI can monitor employees, what stops it from being used elsewhere? They discuss parallels to in-car monitoring technology that tracks driver behavior and facial recognition tools that claim to detect fatigue, intoxication, or even emotional state. The technology might improve safety, but at what cost to personal freedom?As the conversation unfolds, a bigger theme emerges: Is technology helping us—or just creating a world where we are constantly watched and analyzed? Sean suggests that, at best, AI should be a tool to assist human decision-making, not a replacement for it. Marco remains skeptical, wondering if we've already passed the point of no return.The Unscripted TakeawayThis episode doesn't provide easy answers—because there aren't any. Instead, it invites listeners to consider where AI-powered oversight is heading. Are we building a world where every action is scrutinized, categorized, and judged? Or can we find a balance where technology enhances, rather than controls, human interactions?One thing is clear: this conversation is just getting started.Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelliSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMore Random and Unscripted Podcast content: https://www.randomandunscripted.comRandom and Unscripted Podcast  playlist on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQx7EJswMWTfaTdzzU3Dh1RITSPmagazine YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!

The unpredictability of AI's trajectory is part of what makes it so exciting.Human Adaptation to Technology: The conversation highlights how the layering of technological abstractions over time has allowed more people to interact with complex systems without needing deep technical knowledge. This trend is accelerating with AI, making once-daunting tasks more accessible even to non-technical individuals.The Role of Creativity in the AI Era: Diego discusses how creativity, unpredictability, and humor remain uniquely human strengths that current AI struggles to replicate. These qualities could play a significant role in maintaining human relevance in an AI-enabled world.The Evolving Nature of Coding: AI is changing how developers work, reducing the need for intricate coding knowledge while enabling a focus on solving more human-centric problems. While some coding skills may atrophy, understanding fundamental principles remains essential for adapting to new tools.Argentina's Unique Position: The discussion explores Argentina's potential to emerge as a significant player in AI due to its history of technological creativity, economic unpredictability, and resourcefulness. The parallels with its early adoption of crypto demonstrate a readiness to engage with transformative technologies.AI and Human Relationships: An AI-enabled economy might allow humans to focus more on meaningful, human-centric work and relationships as machines take over repetitive and mechanical tasks. This could redefine the value humans derive from work and their interactions with technology.Risks and Opportunities with AI Agents: The development of autonomous AI agents raises significant security and ethical concerns, such as ensuring they act responsibly and are not exploited by malicious actors. At the same time, these agents promise unprecedented levels of efficiency and autonomy in managing real-world tasks.

He came across the idea of remote viewing in 1996 and took a training class as a skeptic. The results of the training were surprisingly positive and convinced Dr. Hein that there is a large area of scientific knowledge that is being withheld from public discussion. Subsequently, he established the non-profit Institute for Resonance and began teaching remote viewing classes in Boulder, Colorado and continues to teach online. He also became interested in the topics of crop circles, unexplained aerial phenomena, and extraterrestrials.
