[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, I have a bone to pick with a lot of people in marketing around AI and AI tools. And my bone to pick is this, Katie. There isn’t a day that goes by either in Slack or mostly on LinkedIn when some person is saying, “Oh, we need a no code tool for this.” “How do I use AI in a no code tool to evaluate real estate proposals?” And the thing is, when I read what they’re trying to do, they seem to have this idea that no code equals no work. That it’s somehow magically just going to do the thing. And I can understand the past tense aversion to coding because it’s a very difficult thing to do. Christopher S. Penn – 00:49 But in today’s world with generative AI, coding is as straightforward as not coding in terms of the ability to make stuff. Because generative AI can do both, and they both have very strong prerequisites, which is you gotta think things through. It’s not no work. Neither case is it no work. Have you seen this also on the various places we hang out? Katie Robbert – 01:15 Well, first, welcome to the club. How well do your ranty pants fit? Because that’s what you are wearing today. Maybe you’re in the ranty shirt club. I don’t know. It’s… I think we were talking about this last week because I was asking—and I wasn’t asking from a ‘I don’t want to do the work’ standpoint, but I was asking from a ‘I’m not a coder, I don’t want to deal with code, but I’m willing to do the work’ standpoint. And you showed me a system like Google Colab that you can go into, you can tell it what you want to do, and you can watch it build the code. It can either keep it within the system or you can copy the code and put it elsewhere. And that’s true of pretty much any generative AI system. Katie Robbert – 02:04 You can say, “I want you to build code for me to be able to do X.” Now, the reason, at least from my standpoint, why people don’t want to do the code is because they don’t know what the code says or what it’s supposed to do. Therefore, they’re like, “Let me just avoid that altogether because I don’t know if it’s going to be right.” The stuff that they’re missing—and this is something that I said on the Doodle webinar that I did with Andy Crestodina: we forget that AI is there to do the work for us. So let the AI not only build the code, but check the code, make sure the code works, and build the requirements for the code. Say, “I want to do this thing.” “What do you, the machine, need to know about building the code?” Katie Robbert – 02:53 So you’re doing the work to build the code, but you’re not actually coding. And so I think—listen, we’re humans, we’re lazy. We want things that are plug and play. I just want to press the go button, the easy button, the old Staples button. I want to press the easy button and make it happen. I don’t want to have to think about coding or configuration or setup or anything. I just want to make it work. I just want to push the button on the blender and have a smoothie. I don’t want to think about the ingredients that go into it. I don’t want to even find a cup. I’m going to drink it straight from the blender. Katie Robbert – 03:28 I think, at least the way that I interpret it, when people say they want the no code version, they’re hoping for that kind of easy path of least resistance. But no code doesn’t mean no work. Christopher S. Penn – 03:44 Yeah. And my worry and concern is that things like the software development lifecycle exist for a reason. And the reason is so that things aren’t a flaming, huge mess. I did see one pundit quip on Threads not too long ago that generative AI may as well be called the Tactical Debt Generator because you have a bunch of people making stuff that they don’t know how to maintain and that they don’t understand. For example, when you are using it to write code, as we’ve talked about in the past, very few people ever think, “Is my code secure?” And as a result, there are a number of threads and tweets and stuff saying, “One day I coded this app in one afternoon.” Christopher S. Penn – 04:26 And then, two days later, “Hey guys, why are all these people breaking into my app?” Katie Robbert – 04:33 It’s— No, it’s true. Yeah, they don’t. It’s a very short-sighted way of approaching it. I mean, think about even all the custom models that we’ve built for various reasons. Katie GPT—when was the last time her system instructions were updated? Even Katie Artifact that I use in Claude all the time—when was the last time her… Just because I use it all the time doesn’t mean that she’s up to date. She’s a little bit outdated. And she’s tired, and she needs a vacation, and she needs a refresh. It’s software. These custom models that you’re building are software. Even if there’s no, quote unquote, “code” that you can see that you have built, there is code behind it that the systems are using that you need to maintain and figure out. Katie Robbert – 05:23 “How do I get this to work long term?” Not just “It solves my problem today, and when I use it tomorrow, it’s not doing what I need it to do.” Christopher S. Penn – 05:33 Yep. The other thing that I see people doing so wrong with generative AI—code, no code, whatever—is they don’t think to ask it thinking questions. I saw this—I was commenting on one of Marcus Sheridan’s posts earlier today—and I said that we live in an environment where if you want to be really good at generative AI, be a good manager. Provide your employee—the AI—with all the materials that it needs to be set up for success. Documentation, background information, a process, your expected outcomes, your timelines, your deliverables, all that stuff. If you give that to an employee with good delegation, the employee will succeed. If you say, “Employee, go do the thing.” And then you walk off to the coffee maker like I did in your job interview 10 years ago. Katie Robbert – 06:26 If you haven’t heard it, we’ll get back to it at some point. Christopher S. Penn – 06:30 That’s not gonna set you up for success. When I say thinking questions, here’s a prompt that anybody can use for pretty much anything that will dramatically improve your generative AI outputs. Once you’ve positioned a problem like, “Hey, I need to make something that does this,” or “I need to fix this thing,” or “Why is this leaking?”… You would say, “Think through 5 to 7 plausible solutions for this problem.” “Rank them in order of practicality or flexibility or robustness, and then narrow down your solution.” “Set to one or two solutions, and then ask me to choose one”—which is a much better process than saying, “What’s the answer?” Or “Fix my problem.” Because we want these machines to think. And if you’re saying—when people equate no code with no think and no work— Yes, to your point. Christopher S. Penn – 07:28 Exactly what you said on the Doodle webinar. “Make the machine do the work.” But you have to think through, “How do I get it to think about the work?” Katie Robbert – 07:38 One of the examples that we were going through on that same webinar that we did—myself and Andy Crestodina—is he was giving very basic prompts to create personas. And unsurprisingly… And he acknowledged this; he was getting generic persona metrics back. And we talked through—it’s good enough to get you started, but if you’re using these very basic prompts to get personas to stand in as your audience, your content marketing is also going to be fairly basic. And so, went more in depth: “Give me strong opinions on mediocre things,” which actually turned out really funny. Katie Robbert – 08:25 But what I liked about it was, sort of to your point, Chris, of the thinking questions, it gave a different set of responses that you could then go, “Huh, this is actually something that I could build my content marketing plan around for my audience.” This is a more interesting and engaging and slightly weird way of looking at it. But unless you do that thinking and unless you get creative with how you’re actually using these tools, you don’t have to code. But you can’t just say, “I work in the marketing industry. Who is my audience?” “And tell me five things that I should write about.” It’s going to be really bland; it’s going to be very vanilla. Which vanilla has its place in time, but it’s not in content marketing. Christopher S. Penn – 09:10 That’s true. Vanilla Ice, on the other hand. Katie Robbert – 09:14 Don’t get me started. Christopher S. Penn – 09:15 Collaborate and listen. Katie Robbert – 09:17 Words to live by. Christopher S. Penn – 09:20 Exactly. And I think that’s a really good way of approaching this. And it almost makes me think that there’s a lot of people who are saying, somewhat accurately, that AI is going to remove our critical thinking skills. We’re just going to stop thinking entirely. And I can see some people, to your point, taking the easy way out all the time, becoming… We talked about in last week’s podcast becoming codependent on generative AI. But I feel like the best thinkers will move their thinking one level up, which is saying, “Okay, how can I think about a better prompt or a better system or a better automation or a better workflow?” So they will still be thinking. You will still be thinking. You will just not be thinking about the low-level task, but you still have to think. Christopher S. Penn – 10:11 Whereas if you’re saying, “How can I get a no-code easy button for this thing?”… You’re not thinking. Katie Robbert – 10:18 I think—to overuse the word think— I think that’s where we’re going to start to see the innovation bell curve. We’re going to start to see people get over that curve of, “All right, I don’t want to code, that’s fine.” But can you think? But if you don’t want to code or think, you’re going to be stuck squarely at the bottom of the hill of that innovation curve. Because if you don’t want to code, it’s fine. I don’t want to code, I want nothing to do with it. That means that I have made my choice and I have to think. I have to get more creative and think more deeply about how I’m prompting, what kind of questions I’m asking, what kind of questions I want it to ask me versus I can build some code. Christopher S. Penn – 11:10 Exactly. And you’ve been experimenting with tools like N8N, for example, as automations for AI. So for that average person who is maybe okay thinking but not okay coding, how do they get started? And I’m going to guess that this is probably the answer. Katie Robbert – 11:28 It is exactly the answer. The 5Ps is a great place to start. The reason why is because it helps you organize your thoughts and find out where the gaps are in terms of the information that you do or don’t have. So in this instance, let’s say I don’t want to create code to do my content marketing, but I do want to come up with some interesting ideas. And me putting in the prompt “Come up with interesting ideas” isn’t good enough because I’m getting bland, vanilla things back. So first and foremost, what is the problem I am trying to solve? The problem I am trying to solve is not necessarily “I need new content ideas.” That is the medicine, if you will. The actual diagnosis is I need more audience, I need more awareness. Katie Robbert – 12:28 I need to solve the problem that nobody’s reading my content. So therefore, I either have the wrong audience or I have the wrong content strategy, or both. So it’s not “I need more interesting content.” That’s the solution. That’s the prescription that you get; the diagnosis is where you want to start with the Purpose. And that’s going to help you get to a better set of thinking when you get to the point of using the Platform—which is generative AI, your SEO tools, your market research, yada yada. So Purpose is “I need to get more audience, I need to get more awareness.” That is my goal. That is the problem I am trying to solve. People: I need to examine, do I have the right audience? Am I missing parts of my audience? Have I completely gone off the deep end? Katie Robbert – 13:17 And I’m trying to get everybody, and really that’s unrealistic. So that’s part of it. The Process. Well, I have to look at my market research. I have to look at my customer—my existing customer base—but also who’s engaging with me on social media, who’s subscribing to my email newsletters, and so on and so forth. So this is more than just “Give me interesting topics for my content marketing.” We’re really digging into what’s actually happening. And this is where that thinking comes into play—that critical thinking of, “Wow, if I really examine all of these things, put all of this information into generative AI, I’m likely going to get something much more compelling and on the nose.” Christopher S. Penn – 14:00 And again, it goes back to that thinking: If you know five people in your audience, you can turn on a screen recording, you can scroll through LinkedIn or the social network of your choice—even if they don’t allow data export—you just record your screen and scroll (not too fast) and then hand that to generative AI. Say, “Here’s a recording of the things that my top five people are talking about.” “What are they not thinking about that I could provide content on based on all the discussions?” So you go onto LinkedIn today, you scroll, you scroll, maybe you do 10 or 15 pages, have a machine tally up the different topics. I bet you it’s 82% AI, and you can say, “Well, what’s missing?” And that is the part that AI is exceptionally good at. Christopher S. Penn – 14:53 You and I, as humans, we are focused creatures. Our literal biology is based on focus. Machines are the opposite. Machines can’t focus. They see everything equally. We found this out a long time ago when scientists built a classifier to try to classify images of wolves versus dogs. It worked great in the lab. It did not work at all in production. And when they went back to try and figure out why, they determined that the machine was classifying on whether there was snow in the photo or not. Because all the wolf photos had snow. The machines did not understand focus. They just classified everything. So, which is a superpower we can use to say, “What did I forget?” “What isn’t in here?” “What’s missing?” You and I have a hard time that we can’t say, “I don’t know what’s missing”—it’s missing. Christopher S. Penn – 15:42 Whereas the machine could go, knowing the domain overall, “This is what your audience isn’t paying attention to.” But that’s not no thinking; that’s not no work. That’s a lot of work actually to put that together. But boy, will it give you better results. Katie Robbert – 15:57 Yeah. And so, gone are the days of being able to get by with… “Today you are a marketing analyst.” “You are going to look at my GA4 data, you are going to tell me what it says.” Yes, you can use that prompt, but you’re not going to get very far. You’re going to get the mediocre results based on that mediocre prompt. Now, if you’re just starting out, if today is Day 1, that prompt is fantastic because you are going to learn a lot very quickly. If today is Day 100 and you are still using that prompt, then you are not thinking. And what I mean by that is you are just complacent in getting those mediocre results back. That’s not a job for AI. Katie Robbert – 16:42 You don’t need AI to be doing whatever it is you’re doing with that basic prompt 100 days in. But if it’s Day 1, it’s great. You’re going to learn a lot. Christopher S. Penn – 16:52 I’m curious, what does the Day 100 prompt look like? Katie Robbert – 16:57 The Day 100 prompt could start with… “Today you are a marketing analyst.” “You are going to do the following thing.” It can start there; it doesn’t end there. So, let’s say you put that prompt in, let’s say it gives you back results, and you say, “Great, that’s not good enough.” “What am I missing?” “How about this?” “Here’s some additional information.” “Here’s some context.” “I forgot to give you this.” “I’m thinking about this.” “How do I get here?” And you just—it goes forward. So you can start there. It’s a good way to anchor, to ground yourself. But then it has to go beyond that. Christopher S. Penn – 17:36 Exactly. And we have a framework for that. Huge surprise. If you go to TrustInsights.ai/rappel, to Katie’s point: the role, the action (which is the overview), then you prime it. You should—you can and should—have a piece of text laying around of how you think, in this example, about analytics. Because, for example, experienced GA4 practitioners know that direct traffic—except for major brands—very rarely is people just typing in your web view address. Most often it’s because you forgot tracking code somewhere. And so knowing that information, providing that information helps the prompt. Of course, the evaluation—which is what Katie’s talking about—the conversation. Christopher S. Penn – 18:17 And then at the very end, the wrap-up where you say, “Based on everything that we’ve done today, come up with some system instructions that encapsulate the richness of our conversation and the final methodology that we got to the answers we actually wanted.” And then that prompt becomes reusable down the road so you don’t have to do it the same time and again. One of the things we teach now in our Generative AI Use Cases course, which I believe is at Trust Insights Use Cases course, is you can build deep research knowledge blocks. So you might say, “I’m a marketing analyst at a B2B consultancy.” “Our customers like people like this.” “I want you to build me a best practices guide for analyzing GA4 for me and my company and the kind of company that we are.” Christopher S. Penn – 19:09 “And I want to know what to do, what not to do, what things people miss often, and take some time to think.” And then you have probably between a 15- and 30-page piece of knowledge that the next time you do that prompt, you can absolutely say, “Hey, analyze my GA4.” “Here’s how we market. Here’s how we think about analytics. Here’s the best practices for GA4.” And those three documents probably total 30,000 words. And it’s at that point where it’s not… No, it is literally no code, and it’s not entirely no work, but you’ve done all the work up front. Katie Robbert – 19:52 The other thing that occurs to me that we should start including in our prompting is the three scenarios. So, basically, if you’re unfamiliar, I do a lot of work with scenario planning. And so, let’s say you’re talking about your budget. I usually do three versions of the budget so that I can sort of think through. Scenario one: everything is status quo; everything is just going to continue business as usual. Scenario two: we suddenly land a bunch of big clients, and we have a lot more revenue coming in. But with that, it’s not just that the top line is getting bigger. Katie Robbert – 20:33 Everything else—there’s a ripple effect to that. We’re going to have to staff up; we’re going to have to get more software, more server, whatever the thing is. So you have to plan for those. And then the third scenario that nobody likes to think about is: what happens if everything comes crashing down? What happens if we lose 75% of our clients? What happens if myself or Chris suddenly can’t perform our duties as co-founders, whatever it is? Those are scenarios that I always encourage people to plan for—whether it’s budget, your marketing plan, blah blah. You can ask generative AI. So if you spent all of this time giving generative AI data and context and knowledge blocks and the deep thinking, and it gives you a marketing plan or it gives you a strategy… Katie Robbert – 21:23 Take it that next step, do that even deeper thinking, and say, “Give me the three scenarios.” “What happens if I follow this plan?” “Exactly.” “What happens if you give me this plan and I don’t measure anything?” “What happens if I follow this plan and I don’t get any outcome?” There’s a bunch of different ways to think about it, but really challenge the system to think through its work, but also to give you that additional information because it may say, “You know what? This is a great thought process.” “I have more questions for you based on this.” “Let’s keep going.” Christopher S. Penn – 22:04 One of the magic questions that we use with generative AI—I use it all the time, particularly requirements gathering—is I’ll give it… Scenarios, situations, or whatever the case may be, and I’ll say… “The outcome I want is this.” “An analysis, a piece of code, requirements doc, whatever.” “Ask me one question at a time until you have enough information.” I did this yesterday building a piece of software in generative AI, and it was 22 questions in a row because it said, “I need to know this.” “What about this?” Same thing for scenario planning. Like, “Hey, I want to do a scenario plan for tariffs or a war between India and Pakistan, or generative AI taking away half of our customer base.” “That’s the scenario I want to plan for.” Christopher S. Penn – 22:52 “Ask me one question at a time.” Here’s—you give it all the knowledge blocks about your business and things. That question is magic. It is absolutely magic. But you have to be willing to work because you’re going to be there a while chatting, and you have to be able to think. Katie Robbert – 23:06 Yeah, it takes time. And very rarely at this point do I use generative AI in such a way that I’m not also providing data or background information. I’m not really just kind of winging it as a search engine. I’m using it in such a way that I’m providing a lot of background information and using generative AI as another version of me to help me think through something, even if it’s not a custom Katie model or whatever. I strongly feel the more data and context you give generative AI, the better the results are going to be. Versus—and we’ve done this test in a variety of different shows—if you just say, “Write me a blog post about the top five things to do in SEO in 2025,” and that’s all you give it, you’re going to get really crappy results back. Katie Robbert – 24:10 But if you load up the latest articles from the top experts and the Google algorithm user guides and developer notes and all sorts of stuff, you give all that and then say, “Great.” “Now break this down in simple language and help me write a blog post for the top five things that marketers need to do to rank in 2025.” You’re going to get a much more not only accurate but also engaging and helpful post because you’ve really done the deep thinking. Christopher S. Penn – 24:43 Exactly. And then once you’ve got the knowledge blocks codified and you’ve done the hard work—may not be coding, but it is definitely work and definitely thinking— You can then use a no-code system like N8N. Maybe you have an ICP. Maybe you have a knowledge block about SEO, maybe you have all the things, and you chain it all together and you say, “I want you to first generate five questions that we want answers to, and then I want you to take my ICP and ask the five follow-up questions.” “And I want you to take this knowledge and answer those 10 questions and write it to a disk file.” And you can then hit—you could probably rename it the easy button— Yes, but you could hit that, and it would spit out 5, 10, 15, 20 pieces of content. Christopher S. Penn – 25:25 But you have to do all the work and all the thinking up front. No code does not mean no work. Katie Robbert – 25:32 And again, that’s where I always go back to. A really great way to get started is the 5Ps. And you can give the Trust Insights 5P framework to your generative AI model and say, “This is how I want to organize my thoughts.” “Walk me through this framework and help me put my thoughts together.” And then at the end, say, “Give me an output of everything we’ve talked about in the 5Ps.” That then becomes a document that you then give back to a new chat and say, “Here’s what I want to do.” “Help me do the thing.” Christopher S. Penn – 26:06 Exactly. You can get a copy at Trust Insights AI 5P framework. Download the PDF and just drop that in. Say, “Help me reformat this.” Or even better, “Here’s the thing I want to do.” “Here’s the Trust Insights 5P framework.” “Ask me questions one at a time until you have enough information to fully fill out a 5P framework audit.” “For this idea I have.” A lot of work, but it’s a lot of work. If you do the work, the results are fantastic. Results are phenomenal, and that’s true of all of our frameworks. I mean, go on to TrustInsights.ai and look under the Insights section. We got a lot of frameworks on there. They’re all in PDF format. Download them from anything in the Instant Insights section. You don’t even need to fill out a form. You can just download the thing and start dropping it. Christopher S. Penn – 26:51 And we did this the other day with a measurement thing. I just took the SAINT framework right off of our site, dropped it in, said, “Make, fill this in, ask me questions for what’s missing.” And the output I got was fantastic. It was better than anything I’ve ever written myself, which is awkward because it’s my framework. Katie Robbert – 27:10 But. And this is gonna be awkwardly phrased, but you’re you. And what I mean by that is it’s hard to ask yourself questions and then answer those questions in an unbiased way. ‘Cause you’re like, “Huh, what do I want to eat today?” “I don’t know.” “I want to eat pizza.” “Well, you ate pizza yesterday.” “Should you be eating pizza today?” “Absolutely.” “I love pizza.” It’s not a helpful or productive conversation. And quite honestly, unless you’re like me and you just talk to yourself out loud all the time, people might think you’re a little bit silly. Christopher S. Penn – 27:46 That’s fair. Katie Robbert – 27:47 But you can. The reason I bring it up—and sort of… That was sort of a silly example. But the machine doesn’t care about you. The machine doesn’t have emotion. It’s going to ask you questions. It’s not going to care if it offends you or not. If it says, “Have you eaten today?” If you say, “Yeah, get off my back,” it’s like, “Okay, whatever.” It’s not going to give you attitude or sass back. And if you respond in such a way, it’s not going to be like, “Why are you taking attitude?” And it’s going to be like, “Okay, let’s move on to the next thing.” It’s a great way to get all of that information out without any sort of judgment or attitude, and just get the information where it needs to be. Christopher S. Penn – 28:31 Exactly. You can also, in your digital twin that you’ve made of yourself, you can adjust its personality at times and say, “Be more skeptical.” “Challenge me.” “Be critical of me.” And to your point, it’s a machine. It will do that. Christopher S. Penn – 28:47 So wrapping up: asking for no-code solutions is fine as long as you understand that it is not no work. In fact, it is a lot of work. But if you do it properly, it’s a lot of work the first time, and then subsequent runs of that task, like everything in the SDLC, get much easier. And the more time and effort you invest up front, the better your life is going to be downstream. Katie Robbert – 29:17 It’s true. Christopher S. Penn – 29:18 If you’ve got some thoughts about no-code solutions, about how you’re using generative AI, how you’re getting it to challenge you and get you to do the work and the thinking, and you want to share them, pop by our free Slack group.

Metro Express : des ‘Automated Vending and Validation Machines' vandalisées et Rs 70 000 volées by TOPFM MAURITIUS

For this week's Twilight Zone episode, we're taking a look at “A Thing About Machines.” Bartlett Finchley is a man with refined cultural tastes, especially when it comes to flairs of the verbal kind. However, when machines are involved, he just can't seem to find the words to express just how much he despises them. And, truth be told, they hate him right back. But, how does one fight the inevitable onslaught of technological advancement? If you have the answer, you might just let Finchley know–although his phone is currently out of service. As we walk through “A Thing about Machines,” we're going to be diving into whether or not the machines are actually worse than Finchley himself; we'll talk about how the relationship between humans and technology might be evolving in the future (and it's not what you think); finally, I'll reveal my moment of awe, just some musings on why we can't always see each other in the best of lights when we need it most.So, grab your keys, and let's unlock this door to the fifth dimension. As always, spoiler alert. If you have note seen the episode, go check it out and then come back here for the analysis. We're walking through Rod Serling's class Twilight Zone series and asking difficult questions about life.

The grave consequences artificial intelligence poses aren't 'potential' — they are happening now, warns MIT researcher Joy Buolamwini. She argues that encoded discrimination embedded in AI systems — racial bias, sex and gender bias, and ableism — pose unprecedented threats to humankind. Buolamwini has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence research and encourages everyone to join in the fight for "algorithmic justice." Her book, Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines, uncovers the existential danger produced by Big Tech. "AI should be for the people and by the people, not just the privileged few.”

Send us a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and futurist Ray Kurzweil for a compelling conversation on the accelerating pace of technological change and its profound implications for the future of humanity. In his new book, The Singularity Is Nearer, Kurzweil revisits and updates his groundbreaking predictions on AI & AGI, exponential growth, and human evolution and longevity.Together, they explore a future where AI rivals human intelligence by 2029, nanotechnology rebuilds the world atom by atom, and our minds merge with the cloud to expand intelligence beyond biological limits. They examine radical life extension, the promise of renewable energy, and how exponential technologies are reshaping industries, reducing poverty, and transforming global well-being. But, they also confront the risks while discussing a vision of the future - both awe-inspiring and cautionary - challenging us to rethink what it means to be human in an age of rapid and relentless innovation.The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

We often think of reason as a fixed entity, as a definitive body of facts that do not change over time. But during the Enlightenment, reason also was seen as a process, as a set of skills enacted on a daily basis. How, why, and where were these skills learned? Concentrating on Scottish students living during the long eighteenth century, Media and the Mind: Art, Science, and Notebooks as Paper Machines, 1700-1830 (University of Chicago Press, 2023) by Dr. Matthew Daniel Eddy argues that notebooks were paper machines and that notekeeping was a capability-building exercise that enabled young notekeepers to mobilize everyday handwritten and printed forms of material and visual media in a way that empowered them to judge and enact the enlightened principles they encountered in the classroom. Covering a rich selection of material ranging from simple scribbles to intricate watercolor diagrams, the book reinterprets John Locke's comparison of the mind to a blank piece of paper, the tabula rasa. Although one of the most recognizable metaphors of the British Enlightenment, scholars seldom consider why it was so successful for those who used it. Each chapter uses one core notekeeping skill to reveal the fascinating world of material culture that enabled students in the arts, sciences, and humanities to transform the tabula rasa metaphor into a dynamic cognitive model. Starting in the home, moving to schools, and ending with universities, the book reconstructs the relationship between media and the mind from the bottom up. It reveals that the cognitive skills required to make and use notebooks were not simply aids to reason; rather, they were part of reason itself. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Dharmendra Modha's TrueNorth chip added the word neuromorphic to the technorati lexicon back in 2014. In this episode of Brains and Machines, he talks to Sunny Bains of University College London about how that project led to his work on NorthPole and the axiomatic approach he took to design. 

Lex chats with Jamie Burke - founder of Outlier Ventures, about the current state and future of Web3, decentralized finance, and the metaverse. Jamie highlights Outlier Ventures' impressive growth, with a portfolio of around 400 startups, and discusses successful projects like IOTA and Fetch.ai. The conversation delves into the open metaverse, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure and middleware in blending physical and digital realities. Jamie also explores the transformative role of AI in the metaverse and offers practical advice for entrepreneurs navigating this rapidly evolving landscape. Notable discussion points: 1.The “Post-Web” Is an Intent-Led Internet: Jamie Burke outlines a shift from today's attention-based web to an intent-driven internet, powered by AI agents, Web3 infrastructure, and DePIN. In this model, agents act on user intent, radically streamlining interactions and replacing much of today's web interface. 2. Web3 Will Be Run by Machines, Not People: Burke predicts that autonomous agents—not humans—will become the primary users of blockchains, making crypto “machine money.” As a result, products, brands, and processes matter less, while incentive systems and on-chain automation take center stage. 3. Founders Must Embrace Systems Thinking: In the Post-Web era, survival depends on designing self-optimizing systems, not just building products. Burke stresses that token engineering, incentive design, and value flow mapping will define the next generation of durable startups. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Web3, decentralized finance, metaverse, Open metaverse, Post web, Outlier Ventures, IOTA, Fetch.ai, accelerator program, AI, artificial intelligence, Agentic AI, agents, Web3, post-web, digital economy, blockchain technology ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

If you're in the trenches of manufacturing like we are—running a shop, growing a business, or even dreaming of starting your own—this episode is going to hit home. We're diving deep into the real challenges and choices that come with equipping a machine shop. It's not just about what machine to buy; it's about how to make smart, future-proof decisions that keep your business agile and competitive.  We walk through what it really takes to get started, from the very first piece of equipment to building an infrastructure that can handle growth. It's a real-world conversation on budgets, strategy, and how to stretch your dollar without cutting corners that matter. We talk openly about our own experiences—the good, the bad, and the costly. Whether it's figuring out if we should buy new or used, or realizing after the fact that we didn't budget for tooling, coolant, or the right chip conveyor, we've made the mistakes so you don't have to.  We even get into the nitty-gritty of power and air requirements, something that can seriously bottleneck your operation if overlooked. It's not glamorous, but it's the kind of stuff that makes or breaks a shop's ability to deliver and grow. What's great about this episode is that it's not just our perspective. We brought in Keith Granno, a guy who's been around the block more times than most in machinery sales. While we focus on what we've learned from running our own shops, Keith gives a broader view—what he's seen work across hundreds of different businesses.  He's sold everything from entry-level mills to million-dollar systems, so he knows what it takes at every level. Together, we cover how to think about versatility, automation, and preparing for the jobs we don't even have yet. If you want to set your shop up for long-term success, this episode is your blueprint.

You've probably come across the "free energy principle." It's become one of the most influential ideas in the broader cognitive sciences. Since the neuroscientist Karl Friston first introduced it in 2005, the theory has been fleshed out, extended, generalized, criticized, and cited thousands and thousands of times. But what is this idea, exactly? What does it say about the nature of brains and minds? What does it say about the phenomenon of life itself? And is anything that it says really that new? My guest today is Dr. Kate Nave. Kate is a philosopher at the University of Edinburgh and the author of the new book, A Drive to Survive: The Free Energy Principle and the Meaning of Life. In the book, Kate offers an extended critical analysis of the free energy principle and situates it in a broader landscape of ideas about the nature of life and mind. In this conversation, Kate and I talk about how the free energy principle has changed over time, from its beginnings as a theory of cortical responses in the brain to its eventual status as a theory of... well, a lot. We discuss why this theory has had such an enormous influence, and we talk about how many of the key ideas behind it actually have a long history. We consider some kindred spirits of the free energy framework— approaches like cybernetics, enactivism, predictive processing, and autopoiesis. We walk through a series of questions that all these approaches have long grappled with. Questions like: What does it mean to be alive? What is the relationship between being alive and being cognitive? What are the roles of prediction and representation in cognition? And we ask how—if it all—the free energy principle gives us new answers to these old questions. Along the way, Kate and I touch on: surprisal, visual phenomenology, vitalism, Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, Maturana and Varela, pendulums and bacteria, computation and models, primordial purposiveness, pancakes, and whether we'll ever be able to create artificial life. As you might be able to tell from the description I just gave, this conversation goes pretty deep—and it does get a bit technical. It dives down into the history and philosophy around some of the most foundational questions we can ask about minds. If that sounds like your cup of tea, enjoy. Alright friends, on to my conversation with Dr. Kate Nave!   A transcript of this episode will be posted soon.   Notes and links 5:00 – The 2005 paper in which Karl Friston proposed the principle of free energy minimization. Friston later generalized the ideas here and here. 14:00 – For influential philosophical work on action in perception, see Alva Nöe's book, Action in Perception. 17:00 – One of the classic works in the “enactivist” tradition is Evan Thompson's book, Mind in Life. 18:00 – The actual quip, credited to Carl Sagan, is about “apple pie” not pancakes: “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” 20:00 – The notion of “autopoiesis” (or “self-creation”) was introduced by Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela in their book, Autopoiesis and Cognition. 24:00 – A classic paper of cybernetics from 1943, ‘Behavior, purpose, and teleology.' 37:00 – For more on the idea of “predictive processing,” see our earlier episode with Dr. Mark Miller. 43:00 – For a discussion of the idea of “representation” in the philosophy of cognitive science, see here. For a discussion of “anti-representationalism,” see here.   Recommendations ‘Organisms, Machines, and Thunderstorms: A History of Self-Organization,' (part 1) (part 2), Evelyn Fox Keller The Mechanization of the Mind, Jean-Pierre Dupuy ‘The Reflex Machine and the Cybernetic Brain,' Mazvita Chirimuuta   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation to Indiana University.

This week we take a look at Y2K, the poignant historical fiction of our time that accurately encapsulates the fallout of our first robot uprising. We know this is the end of our “bad movie” season before doing a good movie next week, but we (read: Rob) will argue in this movie's favor for being such an explosive exploration of retro-futuristic tech, teen romance, and our lord and savior, Fred Durst. Did you think this movie sucked? Because we (read: Rob) thought QUITE THE OPPOSITE (fuck you, Chris). Let's get into the mayhem. A kinda cringey kid, a cute coder, and a completely cool kiwi combat killer computers who kill kids! Kilobyte catastrophe! The Member Berry grift! Machines have Matrix motives! Locality leaves a lot unlearned! Another episode echoing Eddie character's cranial cooking! Piss-mouth pal goes public!

Patrick Hsu, co-founder of Arc Institute, discusses the opportunities for AI in biology beyond just drug development, and how Evo 2, their new biology foundation model, is enabling a broad ecosystem of applications. Evo 2 was trained on a vast dataset of genomic data to learn evolutionary patterns that would have taken years to find; as a result, the model can be used for applications from identifying mutations that cause disease to designing new molecular and even genome scale biological systems. Hosted by Josephine Chen and Pat Grady, Sequoia Capital Mentioned in this episode: Sequence modeling and design from molecular to genome scale with Evo: Public pre-print of original Evo paper Genome modeling and design across all domains of life with Evo 2: Public pre-print of Evo 2 paper ClinVar: NIH database of the genes that are known to cause disease, and mutations in those genes causally associated with disease state Sequence Read Archive: Massive NIH database of gene sequencing data  Machines of Loving Grace: Daria Amodei essay that Patrick cites on how AI could transform the world for the better Arc Virtual Cell Atlas: Arc's first step toward assembling, curating and generating large-scale cellular data from AI-driven biological discovery (among many other tools) Protein Data Bank (PDB): a global archive of 3D structural information of biomolecules used by DeepMind to train AlphaFold OpenAI Deep Research: The one AI app Patrick uses daily

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Apr 10, 2024 In this episode, Alyson and Breht wrestle with the possible rise of artificial general intelligence and its implications. Together they discuss the Silicon Valley Techno-Cult and their dark religious search for immortality, their hubristic attempts to "build god" and escape death, their neoliberal subjectivities and how that manifests in their work, how AI might manifest under the capitalist mode of production, the horrors and contradictions of "capitalism without workers", deflationary critiques of AI, humans as transitional creatures, consciousness and its complexities, intelligence without consciousness (philosophical zombies), Nietzchean nihilism, real religion and what it offers, embracing the inevitability of your own death, and much more! ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE
