In the premiere episode of Privacy is the New Celebrity, MobileCoin founder Josh Goldbard interviews author and technologist Ramez Naam. Ramez is best known as the author of The Nexus Trilogy, but his current focus is clean energy technology with an emphasis on solar energy. Josh and Ramez discuss drones, AI, the 4th amendment, and the relationship between privacy and creativity. They also share stories from the first time they each realized privacy was important, and that one time Ramez got a cult for his birthday.

The lowest oil prices in history thanks to stalled economies in lockdown. A President Elect and a Green New Deal that promises a carbon neutral America in a decade. Governments pledging to make the internal combustion engines illegal within a decade. It seems like the way we have powered our civilization for two plus centuries, using hydrocarbons, is on the way out as we welcome an energy revolution to combat climate change and environmental degradation. Fossil fuel proponents say that this is wildly wishful thinking that doesn't take into account renewable energy's infinitesimal contribution to current global demand. Moreover, most green energy is incredibly difficult to store and transit in the ways modern economies need, raising questions about whether hype has replaced common sense about replacing hydrocarbons as our dominant energy source.  Arguing for the motion is Ramez Naam, energy innovation advocate, and Co-chair for Energy and Environment at the Singularity University. He's also the author of the award winning sci-fi Nexus Trilogy. Arguing against the motion is Mark Mills, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and co-founding partner of Cottonwood Venture Partners, an energy-tech venture fund. He served in the White House Science Office under President Reagan.

Dans cet épisode, vous allez avoir un cours magistral sur l'Intelligence Artificielle de Kevin sur le Machine Learning, le RPA, le Deep Learning. Ce dernier nous parle de Sagacify, la société spécialisée en IA qu’il a co-fondée en 2014. C’est en connectant des rats de laboratoires avec des machines pour analyser les signaux organiques, qu’il se rend compte de l’impact “business” extraordinaire de l’IA. Ceci l’amène à faire un Doctorat en IA puis à lancer sa startup. Le concours ImageNet lance véritablement le Deep Learning, Kevin réalise alors ses potentialités en 2018 et Sagacify pivote. La proposition de valeur de la startup, c'est d'automatiser les tâches répétitives et rébarbatives liées aux opérations dans les entreprises. La création de valeur est au centre de leur business. Kevin nous explique comment ils ont su automatiser grâce au Deep Learning, le traitement des e-mails entrants pour permettre aux équipes opérationnelles d’une compagnie d’assurance d’automatiser 90% du volume et permettre ainsi de décharger les agents administratifs de tâches sans réelle valeur ajoutée. Autre cas présenté celui de l’automatisation du traitement des factures qui a permis d’améliorer sensiblement les revenus d'un de leurs clients. Les étapes clefs des projets avec Sagacify : Quick Scan AI Brainstorming Session Identification des "Quick Win" RoadMap POC ou implémentation On repart avec deux livres à lire : The Nexus Trilogy de Ramez Naam Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence de Max Tegmark et une série à regarder sur HBO / OCS : West World Pour contacter Sagacify, le plus simple, c'est via le site ou sur LinkedIn Le contact de Kevin Françoisse, plutôt via LinkedIn.

Knowledge is the only truly infinite resource, and its value multiplies by the number of people who put it to work. How can we put what we know about climate change to work and develop sustainable innovations that either reduce emissions or capture carbon from the atmosphere? And what role might Nori play in accelerating that innovation? Ramez Naam is a well-known author and computer scientist who spent 13 years at Microsoft, leading teams in web browsing, internet search and artificial intelligence. He is also the winner of the 2005 H.G. Wells Award for the non-fiction work More Than Human: Embracing the Promise of Biological Enhancement. Ramez’s award-winning science fiction series, the Nexus Trilogy, tackles the pros and cons of technological innovation. He speaks around the world on exponential technology, solving environmental challenges and disruptive energy technologies, and Ramez is an angel investor in several clean energy startups. Today, Ramez joins Ross, Christophe and Paul to explain how he ‘fell in love with the planet’ on a road trip to the Yucatan. They discuss the idea behind his book, The Infinite Resource, describing how innovation will allow us to use fewer resources to accomplish more. Ramez walks us through the biggest barriers to reversing climate change and addresses the challenge of pushing back against tribal thinking and the spread of misinformation. Listen in for Ramez’s insight around the top sustainable innovations coming to the market and learn how Nori supports the consumer’s preference for clean AND makes it easy to get paid for carbon sequestration.   Resources  Nexus by Ramez Naam The Infinite Resource: The Power of Ideas on a Finite Planetby Ramez Naam Books by Ramez Naam Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny by Robert Wright ESS Inc Carbon Engineering Brian Von Herzen on Reversing Climate Change EP034 New York 2140 by Kim Stanley Robinson 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson   Key Takeaways [3:30] The lessons Ramez learned from his failed startups Look for real need Add value to others, others will add value to you No technology is all good or all bad [6:17] Ramez’s environmental awakening Road trip to Mayan ruins in Yucatan Spent day at deserted beach, ‘fell in love with planet’ [8:41] The idea behind The Infinite Resource Huge innovative capabilities to solve problems Use fewer resources to accomplish more  [10:45] The greatest barriers to reversing climate change CO2invisible, impact delayed and non-local People get richer, less tolerant of pollution (environmental Kuznets curve) Chinese have appreciation for climate change due to smog [16:21] The pros and cons of shared knowledge People are tribal thinkers (beliefs based on others) Play to naturalistic fallacy, idealize past Accurate info wins out over time despite public fear [21:36] Why there is no fundamental conflict between genetic modification and the organic movement  GMOs reduce toxicity of pesticides applied Align incentives to reduce carbon in atmosphere [24:54] Ramez’s favorite sustainable innovations Solar and wind Batteries (lithium, all-iron flow batteries) EVs (electric + autonomous + ride sharing)  [29:15] Ramez’s take on Nori’s voluntary market Electricity and transport doing well Manufacturing and agriculture need incentive to reduce emissions Consumers better at coordinating behaviors (preference for clean) Make it easy to get paid for sequestration (method doesn’t matter)  [34:45] Ramez’s insight on the human ability to adapt to climate change Will be called upon this century to be ‘shepherds of Earth’ Worry most about tail risks of runaway feedback loops (e.g.: ice-free Arctic)

We talked about the Nexus Trilogy of novels as a way to further our thinking about the wizard hat idea Tim Urban wrote about in his article about Elon Musk's Neuralink.

This week our guest is Tibet Sprague, former solar energy system manager and scholar-practitioner in search of sustainable alternatives to our unhealthy post-industrial communities.http://tibetsprague.com for all social links, writings, and project infoWe discuss:What it was like for Tibet growing up in a healthy community.The difference between communities online and in person.The possibility of a virtual nation, a modern silk road of digital nomads moving in between communities……but the issues with that, primarily its unsustainability, and the importance of working to create local communities and tribes.The tension between freedom and fullness of living, independence and interdependence as valued differently by different societies.What does it truly mean to be free and to have a society that promotes freedom?How our individual drives are sculpted by the agencies of our environments and the people with whom we surround ourselves – so even the drive for independence is a symptom of our interrelatedness.The challenge of building a decentralized society of loners and how culture itself may be the one true technological solution.“My thinking about what I want to work on in the world has headed from initially thinking, ‘Oh, climate change is the most important thing to be focusing on right now, obviously,’ to ‘Maybe we can’t really resolve our climate issues without changing capitalism and changing our economic system that requires constant growth,’ and ‘Oh, well, maybe we can’t actually change our economic system without a culture that changes people’s relationships with each other, and with money, and with the world.”“I think a lot of individual work, personal growth work, each one of us doing our own work to resolve the things in us that prevent us from living our most enlivened selves and bringing our gifts into the world, is really important.”How Charles Eisenstein helps us articulate the core problems of, and potential solutions to, the crisis of our current age:From separation to oneness, from scarcity to abundance.The crisis of imagination that we don’t think it’s possible for our planet to provide for everyone.Universal Basic Income - how it could liberate us to get culture right, or how it could be poorly implemented and create new problems. Charles Stress’ novel Singularity Sky as one example of how unprecedented sudden affluence can ruin a society.Might it not be for a very good reason that massively disruptive technologies we WANT (like free energy) are being (or ought to be) WISELY suppressed by the system (and/or ruling classes)?Ramez Naam’s Nexus Trilogy as a model for how society might variously adopt and resist disruptive technologies – how technological telepathy specifically might be used by a variety of different factions, and suppressed by nation-states that want whatever vestige of control remains in eras of extraordinary change…Tamera Healing Biotope in Portugal and their experiments in community living, the healing of interpersonal issues, processing group needs, and building toward a future that includes and nourishes us all.The role of fearless love and re-imagined intimate relationships in new modes of community designed for peace.The difficulty of making powerfully positive but culturally unusual steps toward love free from fear. The Sex 3.0 Wiki and understanding sexuality as a cultural phenomenon shaped by the distributed agency of our technological surround – the enclosure and ownership of land, paternity, etc. all contributing in big ways to our current preference for monogamous mate claiming partnership.The relationship between digital society (with its emphasis on sharing everything) and the resurgence of nonmonogamy.Mystics and Moralists as two responses to change.The plurality of belief systems, adaptability, and resilience.“We can embrace the fullness and complexity of everything that’s happening in a balanced way that I believe will lead to a much more harmonious way of being on the planet.”Moving out of an age of answers and into an age of questions…The invention of Inheritance Day and the awesome idea of a new holiday in which we honor our ancestors and realize that we, too, are ancestors.And lastly, just a dash of speculation on the Simulated Universe Theory and our participation in what Tibet calls “this fractal godhood…”“If the future is watching, then don’t you want to say something valuable?” – MG See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
