Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Chris Cordani – Artificial intelligence raises concerns about corporate control, government surveillance, and manufactured public opinion. Chris Cordani and Tim Wilson explore how regulation, China's influence, media pressure, and jury independence reveal a shared challenge: protecting independent judgment in a society increasingly shaped by powerful institutions and technology...
Sherry Turkle is one of the most influential voices in the study of how humans relate to technology, and this conversation with her covers new ground on that subject. Turkle is the Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT, founding director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self, and a licensed clinical psychologist. For nearly five decades, beginning with the earliest days of personal computing, she has studied the psychological and social consequences of the machines people build and the relationships people form with them. Her earlier books, including The Second Self, Alone Together, and Reclaiming Conversation, have shaped how a generation of researchers, technologists, and leaders think about digital life — and Alone Together, published over fifteen years ago, anticipated with striking accuracy a future in which people would come to see robots and machines as companions worthy of real emotional investment. That future has arrived. Turkle’s newest book, Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines, examines what happens when AI chatbots move beyond productivity tools and begin positioning themselves as friends, romantic partners, and therapists — always available, endlessly patient, and asking nothing in return. Her concern is not that these systems are unconvincing, but that they are convincing enough: that people are beginning to accept the performance of empathy as a substitute for empathy itself, with consequences for solitude, intimacy, and the capacity for genuine human connection. The conversation traces Turkle’s intellectual journey from her early predictions to the present moment, explores what is fundamentally different about AI compared to the technologies she has studied before, and presses into the distinction between authentic care and its convincing imitation. It moves into the workplace, examining what happens to human agency, purpose, and mastery when AI absorbs more of the thinking and communicating people once did themselves — and what is at stake when the relationship between a manager and the people who report to them, long understood as one of the most powerful drivers of well-being, becomes a task AI is asked to perform rather than a bond a human being chooses to show up for. The discussion also turns a critical eye toward the technology industry itself, questioning predictions from prominent tech leaders about AI companionship and probing the well-documented pattern of executives who limit their own children’s exposure to the very technologies they build. It closes with a forward-looking question: what must be protected, deliberately and urgently, to ensure AI serves humanity rather than the reverse. The post Sherry Turkle: What AI Can’t Give Us at Work appeared first on Mark C. Crowley.
Alexis Fink joined us on The Modern People Leader. We talked about how AI is changing work, why org design needs to move beyond boxes and lines, and how curiosity, influence, courage, and better systems thinking can help people leaders design for the future.---- Sponsor Links:
We're told the answer to hard feelings is to talk them out.But what if the thing you're talking to isn't actually listening at all?In this episode I sit down with David Dean, an enterprise AI strategist with 20 years of transformation experience and author of An Inbox Between Us, to explore what happens when we start turning to AI for emotional support, and where the line sits between using it as a tool and giving it too much authority over our lives.We talk about why turning to AI for emotional and relationship support can become dangerous, why in some ways you're really just talking to yourself, why no matter how you use AI you're still responsible for the decisions you make, and what happens when loneliness and psychological escape start driving the way we interact with it.We also explore how AI can help us identify patterns we struggle to see ourselves, why getting your thoughts and emotions out before asking AI to analyse them can be far more useful than asking it to tell you what to do, how over-relying on AI could weaken skills we still need, and why our ability to make human choices remains so important.But underneath the technology, this conversation is about something much more personal.Why we reach for something outside ourselves when we're struggling. What we lose when we hand our judgment to a tool instead of owning our choices. And where the line sits between using AI to see ourselves more clearly, and using it to avoid facing ourselves at all.Because AI can help you find the signals. It can help you see patterns you couldn't see alone. But it can't make the choice for you, and it was never built to save you from yourself.David Dean is an enterprise AI strategist, author and speaker with 20 years of transformation experience. He is the author of An Inbox Between Us and explores how AI is changing the way we work, make decisions and understand human behaviour.Timestamps:(00:00) Introduction: The AI Therapy Trap(00:44) Guardrails and Accountability(03:52) Loneliness and Escape Loops(05:07) AI Impact at Work(08:11) Self Service vs Controlled(10:47) Fear, Jobs and Humanity(12:56) Lived Experience Matters(15:37) Making AI Real(19:49) Inbox Data as Lens(23:16) AGI and Self Awareness(28:16) Humanity in Machines(29:44) Symbiotic Relationship(30:54) Community Break(31:23) Humans Still Premium(33:38) Art Music and Value(35:50) Spotify and artist pay(36:29) Why human art matters(38:49) AI as breathing room(40:33) Burnout and wellbeing(41:52) Guardrails and governance(45:59) Using AI for clarity(47:22) Choice and self discovery(48:58) Adoption needs unofficial work(51:31) Reality over AI fantasy(55:56) Over-reliance and staying grounded(01:00:41) Authentic leadership signals(01:03:41) Hype tools and proximityJoin the Move Your Mind Community:go.nickbracks.com/mymcommunityConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Dean: https://www.davidchristopherdean.com/ Hosted on Acast.

The future isn't something that simply happens to us. It's something we help create through the stories we tell, the technologies we use, and the choices we make about how to live together. Baratunde Thurston has spent his career exploring what that responsibility looks like across comedy, media, civic life, and nature. Again and again, his work returns to a deeply human question: how do we embrace change without surrendering our agency? His latest award-winning project Life with Machines turns this question on technology, exploring how new tech shapes our lives—and how we might shape it in return. In this episode, Baratunde reflects on what it means to treat 'citizen' as a verb, why conversations about AI demand more nuance, and how we can all take a more active role in shaping our collective future. --- LINKS Life With Machines: https://www.lifewithmachines.media/ How to Citizen: https://www.howtocitizen.com/ American Indigenous Democracy: A Call for Interdependence: https://americanindigenousdemocracy.com/

AI is moving from experimentation to embedded workflow. But with new opportunities for productivity and innovation, come important questions about workforce design, governance, skills, safety, employee wellbeing and the role of human judgment. In this fireside chat, Scientia Professor Toby Walsh will explore how AI is likely to reshape workplaces and the broader economy. Drawing on his work on the intersection of AI, industry and public policy, you will learn how leaders can harness AI responsibly, build workplace capability and create sustainable value.This session brings practical insights into how organisations can adapt with confidence while keeping people at the centre of change. Speakers:• Scientia Professor Toby Walsh, Chief Scientist, UNSW.ai; Scientia Professor of Artificial Intelligence, UNSW Sydney• Cilla Robinson, Partner, MallesonsResources:Mallesons Digital Future SummitMallesons AI insightsGod AI: Boom or Doom? What to expect when machines outsmart us
The AI debate just became policy.For years, the music industry argued about whether AI music was “real music.” Now platforms, charts, publishers, and courts are starting to draw actual lines.Australia introduced a “substantially human-made” requirement for chart eligibility. Apple, Spotify, and Tidal are taking three different approaches to identifying AI music. Meanwhile, publishers are fighting Suno and Anthropic over what the music that trained these systems is actually worth.Along the way, we ask:What does “substantially human-made” actually mean?Should AI music compete on the same charts as human artists?Is creative agency more important than which tools were used?Are songwriters settling before anyone knows what AI training is really worth?What happens when machines become technically better than humans?In this episode, we explore the evolving rules around AI music, artist and songwriter rights, fan-powered remixing, new release models, and what AI and robotics mean for the future of human creativity.Key TakeawaysDon't bet your career on AI staying bad: The technology will only keep improving.Use AI without giving up your creative agency: Keep what makes your work uniquely yours.Protect your identity and relationships: Your story, voice, and connections still matter.Build real community and human connection: As music becomes easier to generate, genuine connection may become more valuable.Bet on humans continuing to care about humans: Machines will get better, but human connection is what makes art meaningful.---→ Book an Artist Breakthrough Session with the Modern Musician team: https://streetteam.fm/masterclass
This round of BONUS TRAX starts with a bang as a couple of hot takes from the end of Surface Noise threaten to unravel the panel at the seams. Then we build the Band/Artist Merch Mount Rushmore. From endless reissues, remasters and deluxe box sets to T-shirts, toys, collectibles, coffee, liquor, sneakers, action figures, cruises—and just about anything else you can slap a logo on—which artists have turned their music, image and intellectual property into full-blown merchandising machines? But this isn't just about who sells the most T-shirts. Which artists have been the smartest at extending their brand beyond the music? Who has created an instantly recognizable visual identity that can sell almost anything? Who keeps finding new ways to repackage the same catalog for another generation of fans—and convince longtime collectors to buy it all over again? We'll nominate, debate and ultimately rank the artists and bands that represent the gold standard of maximizing their brand and extracting every possible dollar from their fanbase. KISS? The Rolling Stones? The Beatles? Grateful Dead? Taylor Swift? Metallica? Elvis? Who deserves one of only four spots on the Merch Mount Rushmore—and who gets left off the mountain? A spirited debate. A passionate fandom. Who wins...or loses?

Teaching Machines to Sing: Prompts, Psalms, and the Power of AI
Teaching Machines to Sing: Prompts, Psalms, and the Power of AI
Can a machine learn the judgement that separates a plausible-looking result from a faithful experiment? Edward Hughes, Chief Scientist and co-founder of Inherent, joins Tim Scarfe to argue that creativity is not optimisation, and that the missing capability in AI is choosing which questions are worth asking.SPONSOR:---Cyber Fund built the Monastery to help founders ship products that were impossible a year ago.Apply now: https://cyber.fund---Edward makes the case that Move 37 was innovative rather than creative, and that the field, not the individual, decides what counts as a discovery. That reframing runs through Csikszentmihalyi, Deutsch and exaptation into open-endedness, where deceptive goals and imperfect world models turn out to be the point rather than the problem. The second half turns to the paper: Replica, a task space built by redacting figures from real papers, and Faraday, a 27-billion-parameter model trained to steer a frontier coding agent that then beats the frontier on held-out replications.---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Cold open: Move 37, Faraday and collective intelligence00:01:08 Sponsor: CyberFund00:01:46 Inherent's $50M raise and the road from string theory00:09:14 Three timescales of learning: weights, context, culture00:13:47 Move 37 was innovative, not creative: the field decides00:20:39 Creativity as satisficing: the urinal and evolution00:25:06 Exaptation and the Tristan chord: creativity in context00:30:56 Coherence for whom?

A funeral director's answer to the machines.AI tribute generators are everywhere now. Upload a photo, answer three questions, and out comes a eulogy. Clean. Fast. Forgettable.But here's what the machines will never know: the way someone's voice changed when they talked about their mother. The laugh that came out of nowhere at the arrangement table when a family remembered something small and beautiful. The silence that tells you more than any paragraph ever could.A real tribute isn't assembled. It's built by someone who sat across from the grief and paid attention.In this episode, Nathan talks about what gets lost when we hand the most human moment of a funeral to a prompt — and why the directors who still write by hand, who still listen first, will always matter more than any tool that autocompletes a life.This one's for every funeral director who's ever stayed up late getting the words right.———
Joseph O'Connell launched Creative Machines from his garage over two decades ago with a mission: Create objects and environments that encourage creativity, support social interaction, and inspire confidence. Since then, the Tucson-based design and fabrication firm has ballooned in size and scope, creating and installing over 100 public artworks for clients on seven continents.Today, Creative Machines is famed for its interactive exhibitions, kinetic sculptures, light installations, and a commitment to community engagement. They even test their projects by having everyone from schoolchildren to retired engineers “play with the art and call out the BS” before anything leaves the studio.We sat down with Joseph O'Connell, founder and artistic director of Creative Machines, to talk about the economics of public art, his new nonprofit playground in Tucson, and his studio's entry in our summer exhibition, 250: A Celebration of Public Art in the U.S.Contacts & SocialsWebsite: https://www.creativemachines.comInstagram: @creativemachinesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/creative-machinesEpisode CreditsHost: Scott “Sourdough” PowerGuest: Joseph O'Connell, founder and artistic director of Creative Machines, featured artist in 250: A Celebration of Public Art in the U.S.Production: Crewest Studio, Los AngelesTheme Music: Ricky Peugeot & Desi DeLauro of Parlor SocialStay in the Loop: Subscribe to NOT REAL ART, and follow us on Instagram for more coverage of the 250: A Celebration of Public Art in the U.S.
The world is barreling towards disaster on many fronts. Crises include: climate change, depopulation, government debt, sagging welfare states, housing affordability, healthcare affordability, political polarization, government paralysis.By 2050 they will all be irrelevant, as will the structures trying to grapple with them.SOURCES:Kokotajlo, Daniel, et al.

In this episode, I'm answering questions about indoor rowing and endless rope pulling machines. I may offer a not so normal take on rowing and I might give you a reason to play with ropes. I guess it depends on what kind of mood you're in, really. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!https://originalstrength.net/courses/
On Episode 168 of The Alan Sanders Show, Alan breaks down Attorney General Todd Blanche locking down Fulton County, Pennsylvania Dominion voting machines from the 2020 election after a county lawsuit cited a Canadian IP address, unauthorized scripts, extra USBs, and an extra machine, just as the hardware was set to go back to Dominion. The show also covers the Daniel Richman subpoena for the Florida grand jury, Trump's promise to hit Iran hard after they launched several ballistic missiles at our bases in the Middle East, Canada PM Mark Carney playing politics with trade and oil and the flooding in Nepal was caused by the bedrock fracturing and not climate change. Finally, we have some fun with Trump renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

In 1973's Soylent Green, Charlton Heston discovers the miracle food is made of people. In 2026, we're being sold something similar. There is nothing artificial about artificial intelligence. The name was a branding exercise, invented at Dartmouth in 1956 by a man who didn't want to argue with Norbert Wiener about cybernetics. Strip out the god and what's left is the accumulated cognitive labour of humanity, compressed and sold back to us for twenty dollars a month. Not artificial. Collective. Which changes the question from "will the machine wake up" to "who enclosed the commons this time?" On Dartmouth, the Enclosure Acts, Marx's Fragment on Machines, and Vince Gilligan's Pluribus.

Send us Fan MailThis one opens with Robby running late because salami and cheese cubes got in the way, which is honestly hard to argue with. From there, we get into work drama at the bar, tip culture in the States, why servers making two-something an hour makes no sense, and Robby's idea of washing dishes just to fund wings and beer. We also talk remote jobs, paying off debt, the Slingshot versus the EcoSport, planning a future UK visit, Texas heat, actual UK rain, thunderstorm appreciation, and random facts that somehow end with Saturn floating in water, an eight-mile-an-hour speeding ticket, and fax machines existing before telephones.

Everybody’s talking about AI like we’re five minutes away from iRobot. Jobs disappearing. Machines taking over. Humans becoming obsolete. But after ten years in tech and several years working hands-on with AI, Siquoyia Blue isn’t buying every doomsday headline. In this candid late-night episode of the Blu Alchemist Podcast, Siquoyia challenges the fear surrounding artificial intelligence and talks about what AI actually looks like in everyday life. She shares how she’s used it to find grants, create art, develop content, and make everyday processes more efficient. But this isn’t an episode about worshipping AI either. Siquoyia digs into the human side of the technology—the ethics, guardrails, questionable corporate practices, bias, responsibility, and the people ultimately making decisions behind the machine. AI is powerful. It will change industries. It will change how we work. But fear alone isn’t a survival strategy. Adaptability is. Curiosity is. Learning how to use new tools is. Instead of asking whether AI is coming to replace us, maybe we should be asking a better question: Are we preparing ourselves for the world that’s coming next?

On the Record with Christian Briggs – AI systems are also becoming better at analyzing vocal cues, facial movement, hesitation, and other signals associated with human emotion. They do not literally read minds, but they can increasingly adapt their behavior based on how they think a person is reacting. Christian looks at the Tony Robbins AI coaching platform, along with internet speculation about...
Deep tech entrepreneur D. Scott Phoenix spent years building AI — now, he believes we're on the cusp of a profound merger between humans and machines. Reframing the AI debate through the lens of evolutionary biology, he shifts the question from whether we should fear or embrace AI to whether we understand what's at stake if we get it wrong. Hear his provocative case for why we need to "eat the AI." After the talk, Sherrell interviews Baratunde Thurston, host of Life with Machines, on how to live well with technology. Hosted on Acast.

Solitary, cold, methodical and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, a killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. Yet, the longer he waits, the more he thinks he's losing his mind, if not his cool.
The Product Momentum team reached out to Barry O'Reilly, seeking his expertise in helping product leaders rethink how organizations make decisions, innovate, and perform in the age of artificial intelligence. After a quick review of his CV – co-founder of Nobody Studios (a global Top 10 AI venture studio) and author of Artificial Organizations: Build Better Judgment, Speed, and Results with Human and Machine Intelligence (March 2026) – and we knew we had identified the ideal guest for this episode. In this conversation with Product Momentum, Barry explains that AI's greatest value comes not in replacing human judgment. Instead, it is in building systems that give humans greater capacity, better information, and stronger decision-making capabilities. Use AI to Bolster Human Judgment As Phil Hornby shared in episode 178, “decision-making lies at the heart of the product manager job.” AI can accelerate analysis, synthesis, and execution, Barry argues, but humans must remain responsible for the decisions themselves. AI is a powerful thinking partner that can plow through data, but it must not be the autonomous decision-maker some want it to be. “Judgment is like a muscle,” Barry continues. “If you stop using it, it starts to erode.” That erosion happens gradually. To product teams that are already overwhelmed, a polished AI response can feel good enough. That's why Barry recommends challenging AI rather than simply accepting its first response. Ask your new partner to expose blind spots, test assumptions, and provide disconfirming perspectives. The goal is not to eliminate human judgment. It is to use AI to make that judgment more informed and effective. Turn Administrative “Grunt” Work Into Product Intelligence AI can also give product teams more time for the work they find most valuable. Barry describes a common imbalance in product organizations: teams frequently spend only a small portion of their time actually solving complex problems. The rest goes toward meetings, documentation, status tracking, and other necessary administrative work. AI can reduce that burden by turning everyday interactions into useful organizational data. “Every time I'm sitting on customer calls, I transcribe them and put them into a database,” he says. My AI tool is constantly churning through customer comments to where I'm able to extract the key problems that keep coming up.” It's an approach that changes the role of AI from simple task automation to decision infrastructure. For product teams, these conversations become searchable sources of customer insight. Prototypes ≠ Production-Ready Products No one can argue the benefit of Gen AI's ability to dramatically lower the effort required to turn an idea into a working prototype; it creates exciting opportunities for product teams and executives. But it also introduces risk when over-anxious teams mistake prototypes for finished software. Barry has observed teams build impressive experiences quickly, only to discover serious problems when usage increases. “It's very easy to prototype these days; but it's still quite hard to productionize software.” Production software still requires thoughtful architecture, performance, security, and engineering discipline. For organizations operating at enterprise scale, that distinction matters even more. Responsible product development still requires the expertise needed to make the resulting system secure, reliable, and resilient. Listen to the full conversation with Barry O’Reilly to learn how product leaders can put the human-machine partnership to work. [04:58] Think about your decision-making process. Most of us never evaluate the way we make decisions; we're unaware of the internal algorithm that we're using to make them. [07:08] Machines are terrible decisionmakers. Machines are great at capturing information and synthesizing it. But they’re terrible at making decisions. That’s what humans are really, really good at. [15:02] The 80-20 rule applied. Before using these tools, I spent only 20% of my time on creative problem solving; now I’m at 40%…that’s a 100% improvement. [21:31] Judgment is like a muscle: if you stop using it, it starts to atrophy. [22:06] Ceding our agency is a road to perdition. Every time I don’t actively participate in a judgment call, I’m giving up my agency. I’m deferring my responsibility. The moment you start to give up on making the decisions is it’s a road to peridition. [31:09] It's very easy to prototype these days; but it's still quite hard to productionize software.

Today, we're resharing an episode that's perfect for a summer listen. We're answering Maddox's question about what happens to your quarter when you put it inside a claw machine. It just zips away! Ryan and Bridget talk to an expert who lets them peek inside a claw machine to find out where that quarter goes. After getting some tips on how to win at the claw, Bridget gets a little too hung up on trying to win a stuffie, leaving it up to Ryan to bring her back to reality (shocking, we know).
