For as far as we've come with AI and robotics, there's still a huge gap when it comes to combining the two. AI excels in the digital space, and in the physical world, robots are often pre-programmed. That's where physical AI comes in. It's critical for things that can't tolerate the kinds of mistakes that are common in today's statistics based AI, like self driving cars or managing the power grid. In the latest installment of our oral history project, we meet a central figure in these efforts, MIT's Daniela Rus.We Meet:  Daniela Rus is the Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Credits:This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

What if the biggest limitation holding AI back isn't the model, the data center, or the algorithm, but the fact that most physical objects in the world still cannot communicate digitally? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Richard Price, CTO and co-founder of Pragmatic Semiconductor, to explore why AI systems remain "half blind" to the physical world and what happens when everyday objects finally become intelligent, connected, and verifiable data sources. Richard shared how Pragmatic Semiconductor is taking a radically different approach to chip design by creating flexible, ultra-thin semiconductors built specifically for item-level intelligence. Rather than competing directly with traditional silicon, Pragmatic is designing lightweight, low-cost electronics that can integrate directly into packaging, labels, healthcare patches, wearable devices, and products that conventional chips cannot support economically or physically. During our conversation, we unpacked why the long-promised "Internet of Everything" has remained frustratingly out of reach for so many years. Richard explained that while silicon has powered decades of incredible innovation, scaling connectivity to billions or even trillions of everyday objects introduces major cost, energy, and sustainability challenges. Pragmatic's flexible semiconductor technology aims to solve that by reducing manufacturing complexity, lowering environmental impact, and enabling intelligence directly at the edge. We also discussed how embedding intelligence at the item level could reshape supply chains, sustainability initiatives, healthcare systems, and even consumer trust. From reducing food waste through smarter logistics to enabling wearable healthcare sensors with entirely new form factors, Richard painted a picture of a future where physical products can actively communicate their identity, condition, and history in real time. One of the most fascinating parts of the conversation centered on how businesses should prepare for this shift. As edge intelligence grows, organizations may need to rethink traditional cloud-heavy architectures and start designing systems in which decisions occur closer to the object itself. Richard explained how this could reduce latency, lower energy usage, and unlock entirely new categories of connected products. We also explored the sustainability side of semiconductor manufacturing at a time when AI infrastructure and hyperscale data centers are drawing increasing scrutiny for their energy and environmental impact. Richard shared how Pragmatic's thin-film manufacturing approach uses fewer chemicals, less water, and lower-temperature processes, while opening the door to more environmentally conscious digital infrastructure. Toward the end of the episode, Richard offered insight into some of the most exciting real-world applications already emerging, including healthcare patches, wearable sensing technologies, AR and VR devices, and electronics that could eventually conform to the human body itself. It is the kind of conversation that makes you rethink what a semiconductor can actually be. If you've ever wondered what comes after smartphones and smart devices, this episode offers a fascinating look at how flexible electronics could quietly become the foundation for the next generation of connected intelligence.

Send me your thoughts in a Text MessageIn this episode of Awakening Now, I speak with Greg Goode about self-inquiry and what is actually being seen through.Greg Goode is a nonduality teacher and author with a background in philosophy. He is known for his clear and structured approach to inquiry, guiding people to look directly at experience and question what seems obvious — especially the sense of being a separate self.In our conversation, we explore a simple but often overlooked shift: seeing is not about finding truth or adopting a new perspective, but about recognizing and deconstructing what is false.We look at how the sense of self appears, how it is reinforced through thought, and why it can feel so real even when examined closely.This is a grounded and practical conversation — an invitation to look, rather than to believe.More from Greg:https://radiuspress.org/greggoode/His latest book, Enlightening the Physical World, explores the nature of matter through both philosophy and direct experience:https://radiuspress.org/enlightening-the-physical-world-investigating-matter-with-berkeley-and-the-direct-path/Direct Path playlist with Terry Moore:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf0MTUdIZxcwgcyMSNTyeDHvwmaOg2w8KMusic by Valdi Sabev.In loving memory and gratitude for the music he shared.Support the showWebsiteshttp://ilonaciunaite.comhttp://liberationunleashed.com

In this episode, Sam talks with Peter Koerte, member of the managing board and chief strategy and technology officer of Siemens, about how industrial AI is quietly transforming the infrastructure that powers everyday life. While consumer AI grabs headlines, Peter explains how artificial intelligence is improving factories, transportation systems, energy grids, and buildings behind the scenes. The conversation explores what makes industrial AI different — from the need for near-perfect accuracy to the challenge of working with proprietary, domain-specific data. Peter shares examples like predicting train door failures days in advance, optimizing building energy use, and accelerating complex engineering simulations. Peter and Sam also discuss the importance of domain expertise, the value of data-sharing partnerships across companies, and why transformation is as much about people and workflows as it is about technology.

EY's Americas insurance consulting leader discusses how AI is becoming the decision fabric for insurers—and how physical AI in vehicles, robots, and other devices is reshaping what's possible in P&C.

My guest today is Sergey Levine, a professor at UC Berkeley and co-founder of Physical Intelligence. The company is building robotic foundation models designed to control any embodied system to do any task in any environment. Sergey argues that solving robotics at full generality is the right path, and that building systems that learn across many robots, environments, and tasks may be the more scalable approach than building narrow specialists. We discuss how these models can perform new tasks without being trained on them directly, and why everyday human actions remain the hardest problems in the field. He also reflects on how human trust and acceptance may matter as much as technical breakthroughs in determining when robots become part of daily life. Please enjoy my conversation with Sergey Levine.

A Jew Uses the Physical World to Serve Hashem (Vayikra 5786)

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Andre Oliveira, founder of Splash N Color, a bootstrapped 3D printing e-commerce business selling consumer goods on Amazon. The two cover a lot of ground — from how Andre went from running 40 FDM printers out of South Florida to offshoring manufacturing to China, to how he's using Claude Code to automate inventory management and generate supplier RFQs across 200+ SKUs. The conversation stretches into bigger territory too: the San Francisco AI scene, the rise of AI agents and what they mean for the future of the internet, whether local on-device AI will eventually replace cloud-based tools, and why building physical products will stay hard long after software becomes easy. It's a candid, wide-ranging conversation between two self-taught builders figuring things out in real time. Follow Andre on X: @AndreBaach.Timestamps00:00 — Andre introduces Splash N Color, his Amazon-based 3D printing e-commerce business and explains the grind of running 40 FDM machines in South Florida.05:00 — The conversation shifts to Claude Code and how Andre built an inventory automation system to manage sales velocity and RFQs across 200+ SKUs.10:00 — Stewart and Andre compare notes on Opus 4.6, debate Codex vs Claude, and Andre breaks down the new Agent Teams feature in Claude Code.15:00 — Discussion turns to the San Francisco AI scene, the viral OpenClaw launch event that drew 700 people, and what's capturing the city's imagination right now.20:00 — The pair wrestle with data privacy, the illusion of it since 2000, and whether full transparency of personal data might actually serve people better.25:00 — Stewart pitches his vision of local on-device AI replacing cloud tools entirely, and they debate the 10–15 year timeline for mainstream societal adoption.30:00 — Andre traces his origin story: a high school dropout from Brazil who spotted a 3D printing opportunity on Facebook Marketplace and got lucky timing with COVID.35:00 — They explore whether AI-generated 3D models and DfAM will automate physical manufacturing, and why proprietary specs keep the space stubbornly hard.Key InsightsLifestyle businesses deserve more respect. Andre spent months feeling inadequate scrolling through Twitter watching founders announce funding rounds, before realizing his cash-flowing, location-independent business was already the goal. The social media version of entrepreneurial success warped his perception of what he actually had built.Claude Code is becoming an operating system. Stewart describes running Claude Code as having a second OS on top of MacOS — one that makes the underlying machine legible in ways it never was before. Both guests use it not just for coding but as a primary interface for understanding and operating their businesses.Agent Teams changes how work gets done. Andre explains that Claude's new multi-agent feature lets you assign a team lead and specialized roles that communicate with each other in parallel, essentially running an autonomous task force inside your terminal — a meaningful leap beyond single-instance prompting.Physical manufacturing will stay hard. Even as AI-generated 3D models improve, tolerances of 0.5 millimeters can mean the difference between a product working or not. Design for manufacturing is a separate discipline from design itself, and proprietary specs mean open source models rarely hit commercial quality.The internet is heading toward agents. Both guests agree that AI agents will increasingly handle tasks humans currently do manually online — booking services, making payments, coordinating logistics — with the human internet potentially becoming secondary to a machine-to-machine layer.Iteration is the real value of 3D printing. Andre pushes back on 3D printing as a business unto itself, framing it instead as a prototyping tool. The true value is rapid iteration on housing, tolerances, and fit — not the printer, but the speed of the feedback loop it enables.Technology compounds in layers. Andre closes with a tech-tree analogy: each generation normalizes the tools of the previous one and builds the next layer on top. Agentic coding today is what the internet was in the 90s — the foundation for something we can't yet fully see.

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool – it's becoming a force in the physical world. This special episode of The Optimistic Outlook highlights how industrial AI is moving beyond software to drive real-world impact. From factories and power grids to buildings, transportation systems, and even drug discovery, industrial AI is reshaping the systems that underpin everyday life.   You'll hear excerpts from Siemens President and CEO Roland Busch's CES keynote, including onstage conversations with leaders such as NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, PepsiCo Latin America CEO Athina Kanioura, and Commonwealth Fusion Systems CEO Bob Mumgaard. Together, they explore how digital twins, AI-powered simulation, and deep industry partnerships are already delivering measurable results—and setting the foundation for an industrial AI revolution.   Throughout the episode, Siemens USA Interim President and CEO Ann Fairchild provides context and commentary on what these breakthroughs mean for customers, industries, and society – and why Siemens is uniquely positioned to help scale industrial AI responsibly and impactfully.   Show notes Siemens CES Keynote with Roland Busch (Full video on YouTube) Siemens at CES 2026: Official Landing Page

Bringing Hashem's Kavod into this Physical World

“How I feel is not what's real. What God says is what's real.” In this message, Pastor Chad Everett teaches what it truly means to walk in spiritual dominion in a world that constantly pulls our focus toward the physical. Long before Adam and Eve had bodies, God spoke directly to their spirits and gave them purpose, identity, and authority. That order matters. God establishes truth in the spirit realm before it shows up in the natural—and He calls us to live the same way. Chad shows from Genesis 1–3 that spiritual authority doesn't start with force, effort, or trying harder. It starts with agreement. The first battlefield of dominion was not a physical fight—it was a voice. Adam and Eve's greatest challenge came through what they heard, what they believed, and who they chose to agree with. The same is true for us today. If you've ever struggled with overwhelming thoughts, spiritual confusion, or circumstances that feel louder than God's promises, this message will help you anchor your life back into God's original intention for you. Learn how to take charge of your thoughts, recognize deception, resist the enemy's lie, and speak the Word of God with confidence. The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

For as far as we've come with AI and robotics, there's still a huge gap when it comes to combining the two. AI excels in the digital space, and in the physical world, robots are often pre-programmed. That's where physical AI comes in. It's critical for things that can't tolerate the kinds of mistakes that are common in today's statistics based AI, like self driving cars or managing the power grid. In the latest installment of our oral history project, we meet a central figure in these efforts, MIT's Daniela Rus.We Meet:  Daniela Rus is the Director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Credits:This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

What if your emotions and intentions affected those around you? With all of the scientific research on connectivity and oneness, why do we still live our lives like we are completely separate from one another? If we are truly one, would you like to tap into this worldwide grid? Our guest today is Dr. Dean Radin, Senior Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, where he researches consciousness and psychic phenomenon. He is also an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Psychology at Sonoma State University. Dr. Radin explains the study of random number generators and how our intentions can affect the findings. When groups of meditators focus their thoughts on a specific goal, this attention causes the randomness to become orderly. Dr. Radin discusses how mind and matter are related, and when the mind becomes laser-focused on something, it can cause change to occur. For planned events, such a million-person meditation, they have very strong statistical evidence that shows non-random behavior. In these experiments, you can see the nature of “mass mind.” He further explains how mind and matter are linked together. He has researched psychic phenomenon and telepathy. This is some form of interconnectedness, which is now recognized in quantum physics. We can all tap into this powerful connectedness and use it for a force of good. Dr. Radin is the author of “Entangled Minds” and “The Conscious Universe.”  For more than three decades he has been engaged in research on the frontiers of consciousness.  He has held appointments at Princeton University and several Silicon Valley think tanks, including SRI International, where he worked on classified programs investigating psychic phenomena for the U.S. government.  Info: www.deanradin.com

Send us a textThe veil between what we see and what truly exists is thinner than most realize. When we encounter challenges, obstacles, and opposition in our lives, we often miss the deeper spiritual dimensions at play. Beyond our biology, chemistry, and physical experiences lies a reality where principalities, powers, and spiritual authorities shape what manifests in our material world.This episode explores the profound biblical truth revealed through Paul's declaration: "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in high places." Through Jacob's transformative encounter with the divine—wrestling until daybreak and refusing to let go without receiving a blessing—we discover a pattern for enforcing spiritual authority in our own lives. Jacob's identity shifted from supplanter to Israel ("prince with God"), establishing his place in the cosmic order and creating a spiritual lineage that would shape history.The angelic encounter described in Daniel 10 further illuminates how territorial spiritual authorities influence nations, politics, and world events. The "prince of Persia" who withstood Gabriel for twenty-one days reveals an invisible realm where spiritual beings carry out purposes in the natural, moral, and political worlds. As believers, we fight from a position of victory, not defeat. The Prince of Peace dwells within us, making us crown princes with authority to enforce heavenly realities in earthly situations. The signet ring is with us—the question is whether we'll use it to establish God's will "on earth as it is in heaven."Ready to perceive beyond the veil and live from your position of spiritual authority?

Patrick McKenzie is joined by Adam Jarvis, author of the Public Service substack and a New Zealand civil engineer and public sector veteran. They discuss how political capital constraints, funding misalignment across government levels, and accumulated regulatory "scar tissue" make infrastructure projects extraordinarily difficult. The conversation reveals why replacing a water pipe now costs more in planning than the entire project did a decade ago, and how talent sorting has drained capacity from public institutions. Despite these challenges, Patrick and Adam find reasons for optimism about reforming government capacity.Complex Systems now has video episodes as well.

✣ Free Neville Goddard PDF: manifestwithneville.com✣ God Mode 2025 Retreat: https://godmoderetreats.com✣ God Mode Course: https://unlockgodmode.org----------------------In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores two spiritual diets described in the Bible: bread and fish (material manifestation through imagination) and bread and wine (spiritual awakening through forgiveness). He explains that while imagination can be used to create and transform physical circumstances, true transformation and spiritual rebirth occur when one practices unconditional forgiveness.The bread and wine symbolize the ability to distinguish between individuals and the states they occupy, allowing one to free others from limiting conditions. Neville emphasizes that God plays all roles and that awakening happens when one internalizes this truth. The Western Gate—symbolizing touch and mutual forgiveness—must open for the Lamb of God to be born within. Ultimately, the lecture calls for self-awareness, conscious creation, and the practice of divine love through forgiveness.Key Takeaways:Imagination Creates RealityThe Bible teaches that believing in the fulfillment of a desire will bring it to pass (Mark 11).Persistence in imagining and feeling the reality of desires ensures their manifestation.Two Spiritual Diets: Bread & Fish vs. Bread & WineBread and Fish: The use of imagination to obtain material desires.Bread and Wine: Spiritual nourishment through forgiveness and the recognition of divine unity.The Power of ForgivenessTrue forgiveness involves distinguishing between a person and the state they occupy.By mentally lifting others into a better state, one facilitates their transformation.The Lamb of God and Spiritual RebirthThe birthplace of the Lamb of God is where enemies forgive each other completely.Awakening occurs when one internalizes that God plays all roles.The Western Gate – The Gateway to Spiritual AwakeningThe Western Gate symbolizes touch—the ability to mentally embrace even one's enemies.Opening this gate allows the divine within to awaken.No One is Beyond RedemptionEvery individual is God in different states of consciousness.Condemnation reinforces unlovely states, while forgiveness frees individuals from them.Transformation is InternalOne must shift their consciousness internally before reality changes externally.This can be applied to material goals (bread and fish) or spiritual awakening (bread and wine).Faith and Persistence Are KeyHolding a vision persistently, whether for oneself or others, will lead to manifestation."70 times 7" signifies the necessity of repeatedly uplifting others.The Physical World is a Reflection of the MindAll structures—mental and external—must eventually collapse in the pursuit of truth.Physical possessions are temporary, but spiritual awakening leads to true fulfillment.Awakening Happens IndividuallyThe path to self-realization is personal and cannot be imposed by external systems.True awakening is recognizing that “I and my Father are one.” ***Download the free Neville Goddard PDF Guide at manifestwithneville.com - Discover the transformative power of Neville Goddard's wisdom with this FREE 60-page guide on his 12 timeless principles of manifestation and reality creation.★ Follow the podcast for daily lectures from the mystic Neville Goddard ★FREE RESOURCES:• Join the FREE Neville Goddard newsletter• Join the FREE Telegram Channel• Feeling is the Secret • Full Audiobook* * *The James Xander Trip Podcast:• Listen on Spotify• Listen on Apple Podcasts• Listen on YouTubeDIVE DEEPER:• The Unlock God Mode Course• The Infinite Wealth Guided Meditation* * *ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSE...

Spot AI is pioneering the transformation from traditional video surveillance to intelligent video AI agents that can monitor, analyze, and respond to events in the physical world. With $93 million in funding, the company has evolved from providing simple camera management to building AI security guards and operational agents that can process hundreds of video feeds simultaneously, take autonomous actions, and augment human workers in manufacturing, retail, and security roles. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I sat down with Sudarshan Bhatija, Co-Founder and COO of Spot AI, to explore the company's journey from video surveillance to video AI agents and their vision for physical AI. Topics Discussed: Spot AI's evolution from video surveillance to video intelligence to video AI agents The shift from IT-focused security tools to operations-wide business applications How AI agents can monitor hundreds of camera feeds and take autonomous actions The role of customer feedback in driving product development and market expansion Marketing philosophy focused on authenticity and customer outcomes Building high-performing marketing teams based on capability over experience The future of physical AI and AI agents with "eyes, hands, and legs" GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Capture existing demand and redirect to your category: Spot AI initially targeted customers searching for "video surveillance" but converted them by demonstrating superior value in video intelligence and operational insights. Sudarshan explained that customers "are still married to the old category and starts looking for that, but the subset of customers that wants more" responds to messaging around deeper insights and operational outcomes. B2B founders should identify customers searching for legacy solutions who are actually underserved by existing categories and ready for innovation. Let customer demand pull you upmarket and into new use cases: Rather than forcing expansion, Spot AI allowed existing customers to drive their evolution into higher-value AI agent applications. Sudarshan noted, "customers proactively pulling us into higher value use cases, pulling us up market, and basically the demand has already been created and we've been responding to that." B2B founders should build strong customer listening mechanisms and let proven demand from existing customers guide product development and market expansion. Build an early organic acquisition engine around category transition: Spot AI captured significant early growth by ranking for legacy category searches while converting visitors with next-generation messaging. They "built an organic strategy on Google to be able to acquire a lot of these leads" searching for video surveillance but presented solutions for video intelligence. B2B founders in evolving categories should dominate SEO for legacy terms while using landing pages and demos to educate prospects about superior alternatives. Hire marketing talent based on "can do" over "has done": Sudarshan emphasized that marketing success comes from "the ability to learn really fast and are deeply, you know, take strong ownership of their outcomes" rather than just experience. He found that "people who have the right bent of mind, the marketing bent of mind, but just have really high horsepower" outperform resume-based hires. B2B founders should prioritize intellectual curiosity, ownership mentality, and learning velocity when building marketing teams. Develop authentic, customer-centric marketing that speaks human-to-human: Spot AI's marketing philosophy centers on "focusing all our efforts on high value customer outcomes" and "authenticity" rather than "manicured" corporate messaging. Sudarshan noted that even in B2B, "you're selling to a business, but you're actually selling to a person." B2B founders should embrace authentic, conversational marketing that addresses real customer problems rather than polished but generic corporate communications.     //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Greg answers questions about whether prayers are pointless if God knows what will happen, why we would be held responsible for Adam and Eve's decisions, how John 3:13 could say no one has ascended into Heaven, and interactions between non-physical things and physical things.   Topics: If God knows what will happen tomorrow, then God cannot change tomorrow, which means all prayers are null and void and cannot change anything. (00:00) Why would anyone be responsible for Adam and Eve's decisions? The idea that we're born sick and in need of a savior is simply immoral and unjust Christian dogma meant to control your mind. (19:00) How do you reconcile John 3:13 (which says that no one has ascended into Heaven) with Lazarus (whom Jesus raised from the dead) and with 2 Corinthians 5:6–9 (which says that to be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord)? (36:00) A Jehovah's Witness said sin became embedded in Adam and Eve's DNA, and I asked how something non-physical can be embedded in something physical, but then I realized that I do think our soul can interact with our body, so what is the difference between these two ideas?
