When we talk about “human in the loop” of AI, what we mean is human intervention. But what if the AI was human? Or more accurately, a replica not of a generic repeatable, predictable human-sounding response, but built like you. Tech entrepreneur Robert LoCascio joins us today to explore this future, where humans aren't just kept in the loop but are integrated with AI. Through his company Eternos, Rob aims to replicate a human being, capturing everything from their past experiences, future hopes, and right down to how they emotionally rationalize in the moment. It begs the question: what do we truly risk giving away to the machine, if we hand over not just our tasks, but our lived stories and learned knowledge? If we give away that which makes us unique, we are makes ourselves replicable. Or, as Rob argues, (if done safely) it could be that we are finding a new way to preserve human life and maintain shared community.----------More:Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & X & jolepore.comLearn more about EternosFollow Rob on LinkedIn----------⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference!----------Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, known to the world as Mr. Beast, has kept the internet buzzing over the past few days. On X, formerly Twitter, he continues to highlight his philanthropy with a post detailing an upcoming video involving a massive charitable food giveaway—no surprise, considering his ongoing focus on fighting global hunger through his Feastables brand and Beast Philanthropy channel. Instagram sleuths spotted him sharing behind the scenes shots from a newly filmed challenge video said to feature record-breaking stunts, and while YouTube uploads from Mr. Beast's main channel are always events, the rumor mill has been spinning extra hard because Jimmy teased a “secret project” that both fans and creators are speculating could be tied to another global event, perhaps even one-upping last year's full-scale chocolate factory recreation. Business-wise, there's plenty happening. The Wall Street Journal just profiled his growing investments in tech and digital startups, noting that Feastables is now expanding distribution into Latin America. Walmart confirmed in a press release that the flagship chocolate bars will soon hit shelves in Mexico and Brazil. Meanwhile, Forbes reports Jimmy's net worth is up again, mostly thanks to those snack brand deals and some very lucrative partnerships with streaming services who want exclusive content—it's clear that the business world is treating him as much more than just another YouTuber. Yesterday, he made a surprise appearance at a youth entrepreneur conference in Austin, taking the stage after an animated intro from Mark Cuban. Audience members say he emphasized adaptability and using platform power for good, receiving a standing ovation and plenty of viral TikTok attention. As for controversy, there were whispers on Reddit about an alleged rift with a major sponsor over creative control, but no reputable source has confirmed details so this could just be fan speculation. What's certain is that the Mr. Beast persona continues to evolve with every post, product, and philanthropic stunt, making Jimmy Donaldson one of the defining personalities of digital culture today.Thanks for listening to Mr. Beast Biography Flash.

After a 30 hour flight to Kathmandu, Len Forkas, joins The Courageous Podcast before his daunting task of climbing Mount Everest to help raise awareness and funds for kids battling cancer. Len is the Founder of Milestone Towers, a Seven‑Summits contender, and Chairman of the foundation, Hopecam.  In his conversation with Ryan, Len traces the moment his eight‑year‑old son asked, “Am I going to die?” and how that question sparked a mission now connecting 5,500+ children with cancer to their classmates in every U.S. state.  He breaks down the mindset that powers 3,000‑mile bike races, South‑Pole ski treks, and this month's Everest attempt. He reminds us that while he can choose to turn back on his journey on Everest, the kids with cancer don't have that option  Along the way he reveals why the true summit isn't a ridgeline at 29,000 feet but a kitchen table stacked with blueberry pancakes for a daughter who once called him out for training too much.
