In dieser Episode sprechen wir über die Plug-in-Überflutung in der Musikproduktion. Ständig erscheinen neue Reverbs, EQs und Kompressoren, die eigentlich das Gleiche tun wie ihre Vorgänger – nur in einem anderen Interface. Gleichzeitig entwickelt sich KI rasend schnell weiter und verändert, wie wir produzieren und mischen.Wir diskutieren, wohin sich der Markt bewegt, welche Tools wirklich etwas verändern und wie man sich vor Gear-Acquisition-Syndrom und Entscheidungsstress schützt. Brauchen wir wirklich 25 Kompressoren – oder nur die richtigen Skills? Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Dr. Emily Adlam is a philosopher of quantum physics who has just finished a book about the strangest feature of fundamental physics - the perennial confusion over what it means to make a measurement. We all know that quantum physics tells us that there's this strange thing, called wavefunction collapse, which transitions a system from being in a quantum state into being in a classical state. But what does it mean to make a measurement? And what does it mean to turn a system from a quantum one into a classical one? It turns out that no one really knows, and we spend this conversation trying to figure out how that could be possible, after more than a century of theorizing about the foundations of reality.

Wie findet man seinen eigenen Designstil und gibt es überhaupt den einen Stil? In dieser F&A-Folge stellt uns Mira, unsere Podcastproduzentin und Designstudentin, zwei persönliche Fragen: Wie haben wir unseren eigenen Stil gefunden? Und gibt es Design-Elemente, die wir gar nicht mögen?Wir sprechen darüber, warum Stil nie statisch ist, welchen Einfluss Kultur, Technik und Moden auf unsere Arbeit haben und wie das eigene Urteil zur wichtigsten Richtschnur wird.Außerdem verraten wir, welches Designelement Chris regelmäßig schlaflose Nächte bereitet (Spoiler: Es hat mit Kästchen zu tun).Große Fragen und viel Freude beim Hören wünschen …Chris & Alexvon https://wahnsinn.design Das ist Besser mit Design, ein Wahnsinn Design PodcastVielen Dank fürs Zuhören
This week Adam took on a subject I'm guessing pretty close to 100% of the audience will care about; how to tame Liquid Glass on OSes 26. We go through macOS, iOS, watchOS, and even tvOS. This conversation must go hand-in-hand with Adam's article on TidBITS where he has screenshots of everything you'll hear us talk about. I have to say, the most impressive thing about the article IS the screenshots. How he managed to keep such consistency whilst applying each setting is amazing. How to Turn Liquid Glass into a Solid Interface - TidBITS As we were going through tvOS, you'll hear me mention an article I wrote with a tip for how to improve contrast on Apple TV, especially to help you to be able to tell which item is selected.

What if the biggest AI risk isn't bias or data, but human behaviour itself? How might AI impact the people using it and what does that mean for how we design solutions and deploy the technology?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm joined by a returning guest. Richard Chataway is a behavioural science expert and strategist who joins me to explore how we can design AI systems that truly work for humans. Richard brings a unique lens to the conversation, combining insights from advertising, government policy, and behavioural science to unpack the human drivers that shape how we build and interact with AI. We discuss everything from cognitive biases and persuasive tech to the ethics of design and how these hidden forces influence our relationship with intelligent machines.During our conversation, Richard explains the importance of context and behavioural frameworks in making AI more ethical, effective, and human-centric. We explore real-world examples of effective and ineffective design, examining where intentions diverge from outcomes and what can be done to address these discrepancies. Richard shares fascinating insights from his book "The Behaviour Business" and his experience in both the public and private sectors, offering a practical yet thought-provoking look at what it really means to design for behaviour in the age of AI.Whether you're an AI sceptic, enthusiast, or simply curious about how technology intersects with human behaviour, this episode offers a compelling exploration of the invisible levers shaping our digital lives. From nudging with intent to avoiding manipulation, Richard helps us understand how behavioural science can make the future of AI more aligned with our values and less prone to unintended consequences.Guest BiographyRichard is a Behavioural Scientist, Author and Podcaster who heads up the Behaviour Change Team at Concentrix, a Fortune 500 global technology and transformation company, working with around 2000 brands globally in over 70 different countries. He is also the founder of Communication Science Group and a former board member of the Association for Business Psychology. His book The Behaviour Business is a bestselling guide to deploying Behavioural Science within organisations to solve a wide range of problems. vAI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – Intro: Designing AI for humans01:25 – Welcome back Richard Chataway03:15 – Behavioural science meets AI05:20 – Why we lie more to bots07:05 – Judgement, distance & dishonesty09:10 – When design invites bad behaviour11:30 – Fraud as a design problem13:40 – The “Computer says no” effect15:25 – When neutrality helps disclosure17:15 – The empathy paradox19:05 – Data bias & unequal outcomes21:30 – When to keep humans in the loop23:40 – Behavioural science as AI insurance26:00 – When efficiency erodes trust28:20 – Friction, fairness & feedback30:05 – AI and the frontline worker33:00 – Redefining jobs, not removing them36:10 – New skills for an AI world39:00 – Beyond efficiency: meaningful work41:45 – Leadership: ask “should we automate?”44:10 – Practical design principles47:30 – The myth of full automation50:20 – Augment, don't replace53:00 – Case studies from Concentrix56:40 – Making AI ethics actionable59:20 – The next five years of human-centred AI1:02:00 – Closing reflections1:04:30 – Where to find Richard1:06:00 – Outro & related episodesLinksRichard on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-chataway/Richard's book The Behaviour Business - https://behaviourbusiness.com/Richard's previous appearance on the show - https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/richard-chataway-on-the-behaviour/Concentrix - https://www.concentrix.com/Richard at Concentrix - https://www.concentrix.com/contributor/richard-chataway/

Résoudre un problème ne veut pas forcément dire designer une interface ! Quelles alternatives ? Dans quels contextes ? On en discute ensemble…
Tenemos el primer episodio no especial de la séptima temporada de Star Trek Replay con este ‘Interface' que inspiró a James Cameron para hacer Avatar. Protagonismo para LaForge, de quien nos presentan a la familia debido a la desafortunada desaparición de la nave de su madre, en otro episodio flojo de este inicio de temporada final donde los guionistas ya mostraban signos de agotamiento, tal como han comentado en diversas entrevistas. En cambio, en Star Trek Replay seguimos enchufadísimos y no entramos en el episodio hasta el minuto 53. Seguimos con la IA y además os traemos a Chocolate Sexy para acabar el programa con un mic drop.

In this episode, Alexandra Sunderland (VP of Engineering at Fellow) pulls back the curtain on how she runs engineering with agentic workflows that actually move the needle: background coding agents in Cursor that fix bugs while she's in meetings, Claude + MCPs to query Linear and auto-generate reports in seconds, and Zapier pipelines that turn meeting transcripts into daily briefs, real-time project risk pings, sales insights, and even 1:1 growth trackers. The theme: make conversations computable, specialize agents narrowly, and wire every tool together so ops happen while you sleep.Timestamps1:11 — Background: 13+ yrs with Aydin; author of Remote Engineering Management.2:13 — What is an “agent”? Alexandra's practical definition (automation + LLM).3:39 — Why specialized agents beat general ones (Sept 2025 reality check).5:25 — Cursor background agents via Slack VIP notifications—coding while she's away.8:00 — Hackathon: hand-built dev productivity dashboard vs. Claude + Linear MCP.10:38 — Why use Claude here instead of Cursor: downloadable PDFs & exploratory insights.13:03 — Interface shift: logging into Linear/GitHub less; notify via Slack instead.14:21 — Plan: live workflows that leaders can copy.15:31 — Workflow #1: Daily Brief in Zapier (9:00 a.m. trigger → transcripts → CoS-style digest).18:00 — Slack example of the generated daily brief.20:22 — Workflow #2: Project Meeting Insights—real-time blockers & cross-team risks.22:00 — Prompting style (“best VP of Eng in the world”) and why it helps.26:40 — Idea: an “Alexandra agent” that drafts her responses.27:59 — Workflow #3: Sales call mining → bug/feature requests for Eng.29:14 — Next step: Cursor agents created via API—fixes ready for human review minutes after calls.30:23 — Rolling Cursor to product & success; non-engineers leverage code context.31:16 — Auto-drafting help center docs with Cursor that can browse.32:34 — Future: docs auto-update—or vanish into on-demand LLM answers.34:52 — Workflow #4 (WIP): 1:1 growth tracker—extract coaching, strengths, feedback into a living doc.37:41 — Sales coaching automation: enforce key phrases/objection handling.38:10 — Playbook: start with simple “yesterday's conversations → insights,” then stack.39:24 — Next 12 months: tools connecting to each other, patterns across datasets.Tools & Technologies Mentioned (with quick notes)Cursor — AI-powered code editor with background agents (cloud-run) and Slack integration for async coding and fixes.Cursor Background Agents API — Programmatically spin up agents to implement bug fixes/features for later human review.Slack (VIP Notifications) — Marking the Cursor app as VIP ensures agent updates punch through Do Not Disturb.Claude — LLM used with MCPs to query data sources (e.g., Linear), generate PDFs, surface trends, and build ad-hoc reports.MCP (Model Context Protocol) — Standard to connect LLMs to tools/data (e.g., Linear) for live, permissioned operations.Linear — Issue/project tracker; source for ticket analytics (resolution rates, triage time, stage durations).Zapier — No-code automations; schedules, filters, formats, makes API calls, and runs AI by Zapier LLM steps.Fellow.ai — AI meeting assistant capturing summaries, actions, decisions; acts as an “AI chief of staff” across meetings.GitHub — Code hosting referenced as a UI Alexandra now visits less thanks to agentic workflows.Google Docs / Notion / Wiki — Destinations for auto-appending 1:1 growth notes and team principles.APIs (custom + vendor) — Zapier “Webhooks by Zapier”/custom API calls used to fetch transcripts and trigger agents.Subscribe at thisnewway.com to get the step-by-step playbooks, tools, and workflows.

Jean-Luc Picard gets to the heart of the matter with a little lady. That is, of course, because he crash lands on a planet in which said little lady is the only survivor. Maybe? It's hard to tell honestly. On the Enterprise, Worf and Troi wear dress Federation uniforms to welcome two very different aliens who we eventually are trying to learn how human emotions work. In order to do that, they have to eat a lot of desserts and get into a lot of antagonistic fights. Then Picard comes back and everyone learns what's really happening, except for the writers of this particularly odd script of STAR TREK television (tm).

CLIMATE ACTION SHOW September 1st 2025 - Repeat from 2021"ONCE YOU KNOW"Produced by Vivien Langford What happens "once you know" about climate change? Two film makers from TFF show us the "spear in the chest moment", when a person with a platform becomes an activist.Once you Know - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxlhoFXc-agEmmanuel Cappelin had such a moment when he realised we are heading for collapse. It is a grenade word. When it explodes in your mind you need to find out what to do, to be transformed or to remain stuck. He visits Joanna Macey in USA and Dr Saleemul Huq in Bangladesh. These people have been bravely facing the challenges for decades. He looks at Transition Towns, Citizens' assemblies and direct Action through Extinction Rebellion. It is an intellectually provocative discussion. Emmanuel talks about preparing for the "long future". When we are reeling from local climate shocks and shortages how will we maintain democractic and civilised behaviour? What must we save on the way down? Beyond Zero - https://beyondzerofilm.com/Nathan Havey film is Beyond Zero – A feature length documentary from HaveyPro Cinema (beyondzerofilm.com)(link is external) It brings us the story of a carpet company called " Interface" whose CEO, Ray Anderson, had a "spear in the chest moment" after reading a book by Paul Hawken. Ray saw that industry needs to achieve far more than sustainability. It needs to sequester carbon, and prevent future environmental damage. In 2019, "the company officially announced the completion of Mission Zero and introduced the next mission, called Climate Take Back; an aggressive new strategy to sequester carbon in their products and make their factories perform the same functions as forests, sustaining and replenishing the ecosystem." Nathan says " You can't mandate a change like that. A cultural transition makes an environmental transformation possible."We talk about the Green New Deal, Biden's climate action promises and the caring economy. He says we "have to bring more people in to design solutions" and offers his film as a part of any Business Curriculum.Teach This Story – Beyond Zero (beyondzerofilm.com)(link is external)To build a lasting community of workers with a stake in the future here is an online course from HarvardIntrapreneur Accelerator(link is external) If there's a tomorrow
In this episode, Kelly shares her recent paper Unfurling the Myth, presented at the University of Exeter during a workshop on Process Philosophy, Plasma Cosmology, and Transpersonal Psychology. This gathering brought together scientists, philosophers, and researchers—including Robert Temple, Jeffrey Kripal, Bernard Carr, Massimo Teodorani, and Nick Cook—to explore the possibility that plasma, the fourth state of matter, could serve as a substrate for non-biological intelligence. Kelly's paper argues that the UFO phenomenon is not just an anomaly in the sky but a relational event—an encounter that engages the psyche through the deep structures of narrative. Rather than delivering answers, the phenomenon generates mystery, catalyzing transformation on both personal and cultural levels. Drawing on thinkers like Robert Temple, Jacques Vallée, and Eric Davis, as well as research in narrative cognition and the psychology of curiosity, Kelly explores how UFOs may function as mythic initiators: destabilizing our categories of knowledge, activating curiosity, and compelling us to tell new stories. These stories are not just interpretations but mechanisms of reality-making—reshaping our understanding of self, world, and cosmos. Plasma cosmology and the possibility of plasma-based intelligence The UFO as relational event, not just object or craft Narrative as a generative interface between psyche and field How curiosity and myth catalyze transformation The “Call to Adventure” in experiencer narratives Cultural and personal shifts documented in experiencer research The UFO as evolutionary function, seeding new myths and meanings Whether you're new to these ideas or steeped in the mysteries of UFOs, this episode invites you to consider the phenomenon not as something to solve, but as something to participate in—a story in which we are all co-creators.

Sam Altman is backing Merge Labs, a new brain-computer interface venture exploring a gene therapy approach to connect human brains with AI. The company is considering genetically modifying brain cells to respond to ultrasound, enabling a less invasive implant system. Merge is currently raising $250 million at an $850 million valuation, with major backing expected from OpenAI's venture arm. This move positions Altman in direct competition with Elon Musk's Neuralink, which uses electrode-based implants. Merge's approach combines sonogenetics and embedded ultrasound hardware, aiming for high-bandwidth communication between thought and AI systems. Altman is co-founding the project but won't take a day-to-day role or personally invest.

Jean-François Poulin s'est intéressé cette semaine aux interfaces embarquées des véhicules BRP, en compagnie de Frédéric Violleau. Il a souligné la complexité de concevoir des écrans utilisables dans des conditions extrêmes ( neige, eau, chaleur, gants, reflets ) tout en assurant sécurité et intuitivité. Les défis vont de la lisibilité à la compatibilité multi-véhicules, en passant par l'équilibre entre boutons physiques et interfaces tactiles. BRP mène de nombreux tests utilisateurs pour adapter ses interfaces aux profils variés : fermiers, chasseurs, amateurs de sensations fortes. Un travail UX pointu, au croisement du numérique et du manufacturier.

The hunt for certainty is killing creativity.Rory Sutherland, chairman of Ogilvy and the poet of persuasion, joins us live from Klaviyo London to challenge marketing's obsession with thin-tailed attribution. Brands are facing an existential crisis in an increasingly brandless, chat-interface powered world, but Sutherland believes that current measurement models are not designed to allow marketers to test, fail, learn, and grow, systematically destroying breakthrough potential.Key takeaways:Technology evolves from option to obligation: Parking apps that liberated us from coin machines now trap those without smartphones, while McDonald's screen-only outlets eliminate human flexibilityMarketing is fat-tailed, business is not thin-tailed: "10% of what you do delivers 130% of the value, but you don't know what the 10% is in advance." But marketing's current measurement system is designed for us to fail. Attribution models punish necessary failures and do not credit long-term breakthroughsInterface changes redistribute power overnight: When fundamental interaction modes shift from typing to voice and stores to apps, established advantages can disappear instantly, creating opportunities for complete market disruptionBrand value is multifarious, not monolithic: Fame, trust signals, and decision-making heuristics remain valuable even as chat interfaces challenge traditional brand expression. "People will come and find you rather than you having to find them." – Rory Sutherland[00:06:13] "Interface change is always disruptive, because if you change the interface within which people choose and act, you fundamentally change behavior." - Rory Sutherland[00:20:25] "There's a concern I always have about technology, which is the extent to which a lot of technology arrives as an option and ends up as an obligation." - Rory Sutherland[00:42:47] "There's a danger that what [AI is] doing is enshrining groupthink.
