The Bacon Podcast with Brian Basilico | CURE Your Sales & Marketing with Ideas That Make It SIZZLE!

AI is machine learning. It's great for repetitive tasks. It collects knowledge and synthesizes it into useful compilations. AI machine learning can be predictable. “I” learning is what we do when we interact with people. It's as unpredictable as an amateur golf swing. Interacting with humans requires empathy, psychology, self-awareness, and patience. It is time-consuming and can have different results on different days. Interacting with people is how we do business. People do business with people, and although AI can help, it cannot replace human-to-human interaction. In the world of generating leads, social networks, and business in the post-pandemic economy, it's not just connections that matter. It's who you are connecting with and who they have in their networks that matter. It's your job to stay connected and keep you, your business, and your content and concepts top of mind with them. Active connections create relationships, businesses, and referrals.

José Antonio Bowen: Teaching With AI José Antonio Bowen has won teaching awards at Stanford and Georgetown and is past president of Goucher College. He has written over 100 scholarly articles and has appeared as a musician with Stan Getz, Bobby McFerrin, and others. He is the author of multiple books in higher education and is a senior fellow for the American Association of Colleges and Universities. He is the author with C. Edward Watson of Teaching With AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning*. AI will change how we work, but it's also going to change how we think. In this conversation, José and I explore where to begin working with AI and why those who can use it will serve a critical role in shaping what's next. Key Points Physical maps make you smarter than GPS, but GPS is more practical for daily use. AI isn't inherently good or bad, but like the internet, it will change how we work. AI will eliminate some jobs, but it will change every job. Those who can work with AI will replace those who can't. Rather than thinking about creativity through the lens of responses from AI, focus on bringing creativity into your prompts. Most of the AI progress for companies is coming from non-tech folks that are figuring our how specific tasks get more efficient. AI is very good at some things and not good at others. You'll discover how this relates to your work by experimenting with different prompts.

Dr. John Vervaeke and Gregg Henriques once again welcome Brendan Graham Dempsey to engage in profound explorations of transcendent naturalism, wisdom traditions, and the crucial significance of adaptive insight within our current existential landscape. Through discussions on religious reconstruction, animism, hyper-agents, and the role of wisdom in technology, the episode explores the connections between the sacred and the modern world. Dr. Vervaeke emphasizes collective intelligence and agency, while Brendan Graham Dempsey passionately speaks on the unfolding process of the sacred. Gregg Henriques proposes concepts like "wise NAGI" and reflects on collective awakening. Together, they inspire listeners to rethink the integration of religion, science, and reality, emphasizing the need for understanding and harmony.   Resources: Brendan Graham Dempsey Unified Theory of Knowledge   Publications: Relevance, Meaning and the Cognitive Science of Wisdom - John Vervaeke and Leonardo Ferraro  Approaching awe, a moral, spiritual, and aesthetic emotion. - Dacher Keltner, Jonathan Haidt    Videos:  Ep 67 | UTOKing with Howard Bloom | The Blooming Universe Neuroenlightenment: John Vervaeke at TEDxUofT John Vervaeke: Artificial Intelligence, The Meaning Crisis, & The Future of Humanity.

[00:13:55] Dr. Vervaeke introduces the concept of the sacred as an always-beyond intelligibility, challenging traditional views. [00:21:03] Delving into schemas, animism, and the risk of misunderstanding reality. [00:28:03] Brendan Graham Dempsey introduces the concept of a new God, an iconic representation of the infinitely receding and illuminating element of reality, suggesting this could help us better understand our world.  [00:32:00] Gregg Henriques introduces the concept of the "fifth joint point" and the need for collective awakening and understanding of the underlying structure.

Creating a one-size-fits-all learning process is incredibly difficult. When it comes to learning, each person has a different way of approaching and comprehending certain topics. This is why computer scientists are always developing new technologies to complement different types of learning. One common misconception is that education technology (edtech) is a fairly recent phenomenon. Justin Reich points out that computer scientists and learning scientists have partnered together to create computer programs that help teach human beings ever since the beginning of the technology—even when we still worked with those computers that took up entire rooms. In this episode, Alexander McCaig and Justin Reich discuss how edtech can be used to strengthen the school system—and in turn, what we need to do to make the most out of these new developments. Don't Judge Fishes for Their Ability to Climb Trees Is our current school system set up to accommodate a variety of learning styles? There is only so much that a human teacher can do, especially if they are assigned to teach large groups of students. Imagine having to effectively tweak your instruction to maximize the learning experience for 26 elementary students, who are all learning the basics of education; or a lecture hall of 140 college undergraduates, who are expected to build on what they already know by following new lines of reasoning. This is where machines come in. The expectation is that they optimize the individual learning trajectories of each student.  The key to making the most out of these new technologies is to set reasonable expectations. These technologies were not created to disrupt or overhaul existing systems; rather, as Justin Reich puts it, they were created to “be domesticated” by the complex and rich educational systems that we already have in place. Our job is to look at these new technologies, not to replace our systems of learning, but to see where they can fit in a particular place, for a particular population, and with a particular purpose in mind. There is nothing disruptive about their presence.  How Do You Learn Best? One exciting thing about being a human is that we are all incredibly different. We have different interests, cultural backgrounds, background knowledge, and personal preferences. And one key feature of human brains is that we have a limited working memory. This means that the field of education is constantly trying to find a sweet spot between this duality: in some cases, we're all the same; but in others, we're all wonderfully different. What environment helps you learn effectively? On one end of the spectrum, learning amidst peers and from mentors is necessary. For these people, education must have a social aspect, or a peer review of sorts, for it to be truly effective. These people struggle with online learning, remote education, and edtech. On the other end of the spectrum, we also have those who prefer learning everything from online, behind the comfort of an internet screen. They process information best when learning is independent and self-directed. Of course, there's no need to be one or the other completely. Plenty of us fall in the middle, where online learning is okay but must be supplemented with a social aspect as well. Balancing Automation and Creative Reasoning How do we strike a balance between automation and creative reasoning? One strength of computer-based learning is that you can use incredibly effective tools to evaluate the quality of your computation. However, technology does not yet have the capabilities to evaluate an individual's ability to reason from evidence. For example, becoming a musician takes a lot of work. True musicians don't just play pieces; they also know how to execute beautiful, emotionally-charged orchestral performances. Behind the scenes, a pianist needs to spend hours on end just practicing their scales because this helps develop mastery and fluency in specific parts of that domain.  Once this part of the performance is committed to memory, pianists can move into more complex performances where they can quickly recall these well-rehearsed materials, while their attention shifts to other aspects of the piece such as tone, speed, and strength. Flight simulators work in a similar way. They aren't expected to teach you everything about flying a plane. This technology exists so that you can learn how to mentally automate certain aspects of flight, so that you can shift your attention to other experiential concerns when you get to work on the real deal. The Problem With Teaching Reason Justin Reich points out that there are two challenges with teaching people how to reason. First, humanity does not have a universal set of reasoning facilities. This means that the way we reason differs depending on the topic we are on. For example, we can't apply the reasoning we use in cooking to hairdressing. Second, plenty of evidence suggests that people who are capable of reasoning proficiently, have made it to that point because they have deep factual knowledge in the domain in which they are reasoning. On that note, Justin Reich revealed that his perspective of an ideal school system would be capable of two things. First, it is capable of finding things that individuals have a natural affinity for and care about, and then creating  the avenues to help them develop their proficiencies. Second, it should be able to have a consensus about topics and ideas that the system believes everybody should know about.  This creates a good sounding board for people to start developing their reasoning skills. Closing Thoughts Changes in the education system don't just happen because we innovate new technologies. We also need to look at tweaking the curriculum, looking at professional development, analyzing schedules, testing the relevance of our systems. This is not just an organizational change, but a political and social one as well. As Justin Reich puts it, it's not about removing everything and replacing it with something else. It's a step by step process of making something a little bit better right now, so that we have the capacity to change again. Every tech solution poses new questions is a human capital problem. The introduction of new technologies must be accompanied by human support. That's how we can make edtech, and the human learning experience, more effective and meaningful.

Elisha and his servant woke up one morning to find their city surrounded by an impressive enemy army (2 Kings 6:15–17). “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” cried the servant. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then the Lord opened the man’s eyes. He saw a supernatural army of “horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” They were perfectly safe in God’s hands! What our ordinary human sight can perceive is quite different from what God sees. In the same way, human learning is quite different from God’s wisdom. The lesson here is not to avoid all human learning—Solomon didn’t—but to learn in submission to the Creator. The truths of general revelation are available to all, so unbelievers are capable of certain kinds of knowledge. Merely human learning, though, is corrupted by sin and tends to find itself in opposition to God. That’s why He “overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense” (v. 25). Human knowledge by itself is prideful and mistaken—leaving God out of the picture is a major error! Such learning doesn’t surrender to the Lord, so it must be overthrown or proven wrong. Our human expectations are often overturned or reversed. In the Exodus, for example, God caused an enslaved race to bring a world superpower to its knees. Jesus taught that the last shall be first, and He Himself was the rejected stone who became the Cornerstone (Luke 13:30; 20:17). Why must human learning submit to the Lord? Because He created us as individuals and the world as a whole (v. 24). He is all-powerful, completely truthful, and knows the future (vv. 25–26). And He is the sovereign Ruler over nature and nations (vv. 27–28). >> Our human learning can only take us so far. We need godly learning! Everything we learn or achieve must be submitted to God whose knowledge far surpasses anything we could ever achieve.

(בהנחה שבזמן שאתם מאזינים העולם עדיין קיים ולא נסגר לרגל הקורונה) - כנס מתָחזקים ומִתְחזקיםהוועדה המארגנת כוללת אחד בשם דותן נחום והוא חושף פרטים - קודם כל הכנס בעל שם עם ניקוד, אחרת לא תבינו - מדובר בכנס לאנשים שמתחזקים קוד, ויודעים לקחת את כל מי שסביבם ולחזק אותם, כי לתחזק קוד זה לא דבר פשוט.יש כמובן גם אתרבין ההרצאות המתוכננות (מחפשים דוברים - הגישו  מועמדות!) - “קוד לגסי (Code Legacy) - בעד ונגד” (האם נכון להכניס קוד Legacy חדש או לא?)“איך להגיד ״לא״ לטסטים” (הרי כולנו מעבירים את רוב היום על הדילמה הזו)עצה ממומחה“סורס קונטרול (Source Control) מודרני ו SVN”או - Git מול SVN, שחוזר בגדול עכשיו עם כל בעיות ה-Security של Git.ולמהדרין - אם אתה כבר פותח חברה, קח ארון ושים שם את כל השרתים שלך. הכי טוב.“תנועת האג׳ייל ולמה זה טוב”כן, זה דו-משמעי. לא צריך ניקוד.“סטנדאפ (Stand-up meetings) - אפשר יותר מפעם אחת ביום”(אלון) ואפילו מומלץ! עד אחה”צ אתה הרי כבר שוכח על מה דיברו בבוקר.יש כבר מאמר שמראה שבגלל שזה קצר אז יש ארגון שמנסה ארבע פעמים ביום. קריאה מהנה.קלוג׳ר (Clojure) בארגון צומח - לעוד 5 שנים מוצלחות”“לכל כלי יש אתר - למה הכי טוב לפרמט קבצי קונפיגורציה וקוד באתר פומבי ברשת”הרי יש כל מיני כלים, והרעיון הוא שהכי נוח לקחת את כל קבצי הקונפיגורציה, להעלות לרשת, לפרמט (Formatting), להעתיק בחזרה ולהחזיר לקוד - לא צריך להתקין כלים חדשים.(אלון) סוג של HTML-based configuration?

מהפכני!ומכל זה נולד כל העניין של Cloud-Computing - והיום Werner Vogels הוא ה-CTO של AWS - והתפוח לא נפל רחוק: היום ארני נמצא ממש בחזית הטכנולוגיה. עדיין מוכר קיסמי שיניים?לא - יש לי אתר ב Etsy, של קיסמי שיניים מעוצבים אישית עם ברכה“שלא תדע עששת”? זה שלימשווק יחד עם Beyond Meatועכשיו אתה עוסק בשיווק קורונה?למה ככה?! מדדו לי חום בשדה והייתי בבידוד 11 ימים עד אתמול . . . ויתרתי על היומיים האחרונים כדי לבוא להקליט איתכם.אם סופרים ב- Hexadecimal זה יוצא בסדר.עברנו על חשבון ה-Twitter שלך ומצאנו כמה דברים מעניינים שנשמח אם תוכל להתייחס אליהם, למשל - Space Computing vs. Cloud Computing - האם זה באמת הולך להיות השלב הבא?אם נחזור רגע לניסוי הזה של אח שלי - הוא התחיל עם זה שהיו להם מלא מחשבים שלא עושים כלום, ואז הוא הגיע לבזוס, שהוא כל כך קמצן  שאפילו את התחתונים הוא לפעמים משכיר בתור ממחטה.הוא הציע לו להשכיר את המחשבים בינתיים - ובזוס הסכים.אז אני (ארני) הלכתי ל-Elon ואמרתי לו: “אתה העלת לשמיים מלא לוויינים בגודל של קרטון חלב, ולאף אחד אין מושג מה עושים עם הדבר הזה - בוא נריץ עליהם עבודות ונראה מה יקרה, אולי יצא מזה business”.באיזה שלב זה נמצא? יש כבר לקוחות Beta ל-Space Computing? אפשר לקחת CPU בחלל ולהשתמש בו?כבר היום משרד הבריאות הישראלי משתמש בזה לחיזוי התפשטות הקורונה, בגלל זה אתם כאן top of the line עם זה(בהנחה שעד מועד השידור האנושות תתקיים והשמש תזרח).גם המערכת הזו שאומרת מתי מגיע אוטובוס בישראל, שעבור האינטגרציה שלה הגעתי לכאן היום - המערכת הזו מחשבת את תנועת האוטובוסים תוך שימוש ב Space Computingוכל זה קורה ממש מתחת לאף שלנו . . . מדהים.נושא אחר שעלית עליו הוא ההבדל בין HL ל - ML, כלומר - Human Learning לעומת Machine Learning.ספר לנו קצת על זה  . . .אני חושב שאנחנו עומדים מול טרנד חדש של “כמות מול איכות” - מחשבים לומדים בסך הכל מאז שנות ה-70, והם לומדים טוב בסך הכל ב 5-10 שנים האחרונות - אבל אנשים לומדים כבר 25,000 שנים, וזה הרבה יותר זמן ללמוד.הרבה יותר למידה התבצעה פה, וזה חבל לא לנצל את זה . . (רן) אני באמת זוכר מהקורס שלי בבינה מלאכותית - רשתות נוירונים מדהימות קיימות כבר במוח האנושי, אז למה בעצם אנחנו מנסים להמציא מחדש את הגלגל עם רשתות נוירונים ממוחשבות, מה הטעם?מעולה - הרמנו בדיוק שירות מעל Human Learning: אם אתה רוצה לנסוע ממקום למקום, למשל בניו יורק (שם הרצנו פיילוט), אז במקום להתקשר ל-Waze ולבזבז חשמל ולאבד את המגע האנושי, לנו יש סט של נהגי מוניות שאיבדו את העבודה שלהם בגלל Uber - והם פשוט עונים לך בטלפון ומכווינים אותך (“אח שלי קח ימינה, ואז שמאלה”, “אל תקשיב לאין כניסה, זה רק 2 מטרים ותגיד לשוטר שעשית רוורס” וכו’).ככה משתמשים ב Human Learning במקום Machine Learning.אתה מדבר כאן בעצם על פיצ’ר שלא קיים ב - Machine Learning: היכולת לאלתר, למשל לדבר עם שוטר ולהמציא סיפורים. זה ה - Holy Grail של Machine Learning ואתה משיג את זה בדרכים הרבה יותר אפקטיביות עם Human Learning.כן, באנגלית זה נקרא “cutting corners”, לא יודע אם יש לזה מילה בעברית. באמת אין ביטוי כזה (פה לא חותכים - מעגלים…), אבל שווה לבדוק. אנחנו מאוד Strict בישראל ולא חשבנו על זה.מה שכן מאוד חשוב לנו כאן זה העניין של הכשרות - הרבה פעמים יוצא שאני מגיע לאתר ואני לא כל כך בטוח לגבי הכשרות שלו. האם יש בשורות חדשות בנושא לדעתך?אנחנו ישבנו על נתוני תעבורה של אתר שנקרא B&H, מכיר? ודאי שם קניתי את המצלמה הדיגיטלית הראשונה שלי . . .מסתבר שאתה לא לבד . . . הרצנו על זה מודל של Big Data, וגילינו שהם סגורים בשבת וגם עושים המון כסף. זו קורלציה מאוד חזקה, אז אנחנו הולכים לשווק סגירה בשבת גם לאתרים של חילונים וגויים, כדי שיהיו מצליחים גם הם כמו B&H.וזה עובד ממש מעולה - כל בתי הספר ב - Washington DC עכשיו סוגרים את האתר שלהם בשבת.ממילא אין לימודים אז למה צריך אתר? אתה יכול לחסוך כ-20% מהוצאות הקירור, חשמל וכו’, חיסכון אדיר.אם אתה לא צריך לקרר בשבת - ויכול להשתמש בשרתים בתור פלטה של שבת אז אתה ממש במקום טוב.אנחנו מתחילים עכשיו לשווק קיגל מה-Data Centers שלנו - ה - Cloud Kugel, או CK.אלון מתרגש כי בבית סבא היו עושים קיגל . . . בטח זוכר את הקיגל הראשון שהוא עשה על ה Sinclair Spectrum שלו.זה מאוד מעניין - כל האספקט הכלכלי של זה . . . תמיד חשבנו על מנוחת הנפש, אבל יש כאן גם אספקט כלכלי טהור, ונראה שממש תפסת אותו בביצים והשתמשת לטובתך . . .התייחסת קודם לנושא של הצפנות ו-Quantum Computing, וראיתי בטוויטר שלך שזה גם נושא שמעניין אותך, כולל לא מעט בלוגים.לאיפה כל הנושא של הצפנות ו-Quantum Computing הולך לדעתך?במילה אחת? פאקקט. אין הצפנות יותר ב-Quantum Computing, אנחנו פרצנו הכל. אני יודע עכשיו להגיד לך שהארבע ספרות האחרונות של כרטיס האשראי שלך הן 1234, וגם את השם של הכלב הראשון שלך, בוני. והחיה הראשונה שלך הייתה דג זהב.אמור לרדת בעריכה . . . בכל זאת גם לנו יש מגבלות של Security, אבל הרעיון מובן.אם ראית במקרה את הסרט Avengers: End Game, אתה יודע שיש הרבה מקבילים ליקום.אם אני רוצה לפרוץ ב Quantum Computing לסיסמא שלך, אני יכול פשוט לגשת ליקום שבו הסיסמא שלך היא 1234 (כי אתה טמבל שם), ולהביא את האיזור הזה של היקום האחר לפה, וככה אני יודע כאן מה הסיסמא שלך.מדהים. ו -By far לא החלק העלילתי הכי הזוי בסרט.איך זה עובד? יש לזה Docker?ב-Quantum Computing לא קוראים לזה Docker אלא Loop Worm: אלו תולעים מחורי תולעת שמאפשרות לעבור את מהירות האור, אם אתה יודע קצת פיסיקה מודרנית.הקוונטים לא עוברים - ה-Docker הוא לוויתן ויש לו מסננת בגרון, אז הקוונטים לא עוברים.לעומת זאת ב-Loop Worm זה הרבה יותר חזק.ממש מעניין - זה אומר שבכל היקומים המקבילים שבהם אני לא טמבל, אתה לא תצליח לפרוץ?רגע, בודק את כל הסיכויים שזה קרה . . . יש 45 מיליון אפשרויות ורק באחת מהן אתה לא טמבל.זה בהחלט מציג פרספקטיבה חדשה לכל עולם המחשוב, זה לא פחות ממהפכה.

   Intelligence artificielle et art contemporain : qu'apprennent aujourd'hui les artistes des machines, des technologies, des algorithmes ? Dans quelle mesure sont-elles sources d'inspiration, de création ? Quelles lectures critiques du monde nous offrent-elles ?  Les machines seraient-elles, elles aussi, créatrices d'art ?  Voici quelques-unes des interrogations abordées par les artistes canadiens et français qui nous emmènent au plus près de quelques unes des oeuvres présentées au Centre culturel canadien à Paris, dans le cadre de l'expostion "Human Learning - Ce que les machines nous apprennent".  A mes côtés, pour ce voyage en terre imaginaire et technologique, deux explorateurs de choix : le commissaire canadien de l'exposition, Alain Thibault, directeur artistique de la Biennale internationale de Montréal Elektra et le français Dominique Moulon, commissaire associé de la Biennale Némo, dans laquelle s'inscrit cette exposition.  Paré pour le décollage ?

It is breathtaking to conceive that Jesus, the second Person of the Triune God, would chose to isolate Himself. At least to some degree, and especially while on the cross, He chose to be cut off from the godhead. Further, he was “a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief,” giving up his prestige and position for the isolation of pain. This isolation is very instructive for us, as isolation is a given in the fallen human condition. In the midst of that common sense of isolation, Jesus shows us the brilliance of unity.

Adam and Eve warp humanity with their attempt to live outside human limits. Jesus, the “second Adam,” miraculously reverses that and voluntarily lives within human confinement. Since Adam’s fall, all humans resist limits -- a tendency especially exposed in our rabid desire to overcome place & space limitations. Instead of this nonsense, we should imitate Jesus, who has the real answer: 1) Accept the limits of humanity. 2) Trust a limitless God who loves you. 3) Know that a permanent place is being made just for you. 4) Be secure enough to think of others.

Are you sick of productivity apps and social platforms that hijack your time? What happens when a platform encourages creativity rather than distracting us? How can you raise capital from users rather than ads? by Chris Sherron Less machine learning, less algorithms, less likes: This week Paul Ford and Rich Ziade meet with Charles Broskoski, founder of Are.na, to discuss how his platform moves away from the like-based models of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We talk about how pattern recognition drives our creativity, discuss the difficulty of building a community that people are willing to pay for, and complain about Pinterest. Rich also discovers what an Art Prof is! [Soundcloud] ►iTunes/►SoundCloud/►Overcast/►Stitcher/►MP3 /►RSS 2:35 — Charles: “The main thing that you’re doing [with Are.na] is making collections of resources… You can throw anything in there and the point is that you’re thinking of things you’re consuming over a long period of time. It’s about doing this research and thinking about it as you’re doing things.” 4:15 — Paul: “It’s the overall platform of Pinterest that’s okay, and the membership is very very excited, but it just breaks the web. You hit Google images and you go into Pinterest.” 4:40 — Paul: “Compared to Pinterest, Are.na users tend to have intent when they link things together. Pinterest, on the other hand, is watching people and making these connections for them.” 9:30 — Charles: “I think what was appealing about Del.icio.us is that it didn’t orbit around likes and hearts and whatnot. The thinking was that you use it for your own selfish needs and the sort of by-product of that was something really great for everybody else.” 9:45 — Rich: “There was more of a culture around thinking and deep thought, about being more inquisitive and curious and less about performing a personality online.” 11:00 — Rich: “This is success now on the Internet. Build the tool that lets you ‘heart’ pictures and sounds… It’s born out of Twitter and Facebook and the like.” 17:40 — Paul: “So you’ve got this very abstract set of things. This has actually been one of the challenges of hypertext and the web in general, it’s that most websites end up looking like something that was there before. Newspaper websites look like newspapers. Youtube is about video of a certain aspect ratio that looks like TV… The thing that you’re doing here, the thing that you’re describing — which I think both Rich and I have found really hard to get across to people — is that here are abstract nodes that connect to other abstract nodes about concepts and they can be remixed. I’ve seen a lot of experiments along this line and I think that this one is really interesting in that forty thousand people doing abstract hypertext stuff is really a lot.” 23:00 — Charles: “We’re doing an equity crowdfunding campaign right now, and that was a sort of scary proposition… The scary part with a community like ours is that they’re very critical, they know what’s going on, and they’re very sensitive to changes — but it’s going a lot better than we ever expected.” 23:45 — Paul: “The mental model of what success is has to be changed to accommodate the spaces like this that people really want and will pay for and will be a good business.” 24:10 — Charles: “I’m also very optimistic that people are getting smarter — and I know this is a minority opinion — but people’s ability to pattern recognize different things that are happening in the world, that ability gets strengthened over time and there’s nowhere to put that.” 24:50 — Charles: “We just might as well not do it if we’re gonna do ads. It sets up a weird dynamic because your customer is not the user, your customer is the advertiser. Your motivation then is to serve the advertiser and not the user. We’re just trying to make a good enough product that people will pay for it. The type of people we’re after are knowledge workers, people who are working in creative professions. This is the tool that helps your thinking on an every-day basis.” 26:50 — Charles: “[What stops people from standing up Are.na] is that it’s really hard to build a community. The community building is a fuzzy activity — it’s inviting people, it’s talking to people. It’s not the same kind of productivity that you’re doing when you’re writing code.” A full transcript of this episode is available.

The term Artificial Intelligence or AI, has been widely used since the last century. However, its in these recent years we've seen huge progress in this space. The term artificial intelligence is when machines mimic humans and their ways of thinking and behaving, such as learning and problem solving.   In 2001, Steven Spielberg directed a film called AI, where a robot named David, in the form of a boy, had an unquenchable need for his mother's love and sought across time. The journey of David, a life-like robot, stirred fear and caught the imagination of audiences world-wide at the turn of the century. That was 17 years ago.   Today, researchers have created robots that are advanced enough to hold conversations and express emotions. But has AI has become part of our lives? Or are we still a long way to go? How will this impact us? Will AI truly take over our jobs and our learning?     Joining us is the CEO and co-founder of AcuiZen, JC Sekar.   Show notes are available on: http://bit.ly/2RlnTRL

Today we talk about a key learning concept called Challenge Point.  At it's core an appropriate challenge point will optimize the learning of a student by looking for the optimal level of difficulty to practice with.   We'll walk through exactly what it means and an example of how it applies in the typical lesson setting.  A big part of creating a lesson environment with appropriate challenge point involves the type of feedback the student is receiving.  We talk about how to appropriately vary that based on the skill of a level of a student.  "Conditions that appear to create challenges for the learner often appear to be slowing down the learning process. We've come to label those desirable difficulties and they can actually enhance long-term learning.”  Dr Robert Bjork  It's very easy for people to think that our current performance during the training and learning process is an accurate index of learning. Often it's not only inaccurate, it's very, very misleading. That's because conditions that can lead to rapid improvement in performance don't support learning on long-term. We talk about some suggestions for maximizing engagement during the lesson so you can make sure your students are learning optimally every lesson.   Resources from Dr Mark Guadagnoli and Dr Robert Bjork mentioned: http://golfsciencelab.com/challenge-point/ http://golfsciencelab.com/performance-and-learning-dr-robert-bjork-and-adam-young/  About Dr Mark Guadagnoli Dr. Mark Guadagnoli has worked in industry and academia for over two decades and has taught at several universities including Harvard University, UCLA, UNLV, and USC. He has been featured in the New York Times and other international publications.

Dr. Guadagnoli has published more than 100 articles and abstracts and is the author of two books (Human Learning; Biology, Brain, and Neuroscience, and Practice to Learn, Play to Win). Dr. Guadagnoli's primary line of research is related to the Challenge Point Framework which has been used to teach surgeons, medical professionals, and others who compete in high stress performance situations. His model of learning shows that appropriate short-term challenges results in long-term and stress resistant learning. He has been invited to present this work around the world including such countries as Canada, China, France, Germany, and Scotland. Dr. Guadagnoli has also worked in performance optimization with athletes in several sports including the USA Olympic Elite Track and Field Coaches and PGA, LPGA, and Nationwide tour winners.

Birdsong is like a dialect – birds in one area may sing a different tune than those elsewhere. But at the level of physiology, it gets much more complicated. Researcher Hamish Mehaffey and his team at the University of California, San Francisco took a look at how two parts of a zebra finch brain not only enable song learning but interact to allow a bird to change its song. "So you can put electrodes in the pathways and then record in the area where they interact and look at the strengths of those inputs, after different patterns of stimulation. So what we did was we took the patterns of stimulation that we knew that the birds used when they were singing, and used those as, kind of, templates in order to probe what the mechanism might be." Mehaffey compares such a disturbance to a stroke, which can disturb a person’s language area. "The interesting part was that there was always some balance between these two pathways. If something happens to it, the bird will sing a horrible, messed-up song." These regions are analogous to parts of the human brain and are implicated for aspects of learning and adaptation.
