Forbes Brasil called her “one of the most important futurists in the world.” It's hard for me to measure the impact she's had on business leaders, tech startups, marketing and communications firms, arts schools, and in the lives of the countless other people.We talk about the relationship between numbers, language, and the ineffable, ever-shifting human spirit. Adah's work points past knowledge and history into the elemental nature of both human and machine, past our differences into the deep similarity worth celebrating and the mystery that we inhabit and embody. Join us for a yarn that is both silly and profound, present and far-reaching, about being uncategorizably creative, open, and curious amidst the wicked problems of our time…Project Links• Read the project pitch & planning doc• Dig into the full episode and essay archives• Join the online commons for Wisdom x Technology on Discord + Bluesky + X• Join the open, listener-moderated Future Fossils Discord Server• Contact me if you have questions (patron rewards, sponsorship, collaboration, etc.)• Browse the HOTL reading list and support local booksellersChapters0:00:00 - Teaser0:00:49 - Intro0:05:24 - Feeling Seen & Heard0:09:54 - Adah's Biography0:17:21 - Poetry & Number0:27:55 - Cyborg Shamanism & The Five Elements0:37:03 - The Foraging Neurotype of “Extremely Online”0:51:07 - Surrendering Agency to Systems0:55:14 - The Incremental Reclamation of Agency1:01:19 - Art after Modernity & Healing from Noise1:13:01 - Beyond Narrative & Into Dance1:17:30 - Thanks & AnnouncementsAdah's LinksWebsite | Instagram | LinkedIn | Medium | Chartwell SpeakersFinding Our Future in Ancestral Wisdom @ TEDxSohoWhat Kind of Ancestor Do You Want To Be? @ Think With GoogleCyborg Shamanism & The Case for Elemental AI @ AtmosMentioned MediaRefactoring “Autonomy” & “Freedom” for The Age of Language Modelsby Michael Garfield223 - Timothy Morton on A New Christian Ecology & Systems Thinking BlasphemyFuture Fossils PodcastAttention deficits linked with proclivity to explore while foragingby David L.

My Reflections from ITSPmagazine's Black Hat USA 2024 Coverage: 
The State of Cybersecurity and Its Societal ImpactPrologueEach year, Black Hat serves as a critical touchpoint for the cybersecurity industry—a gathering that offers unparalleled insights into the latest threats, technologies, and strategies that define our collective defense efforts. Established in 1997, Black Hat has grown from a single conference in Las Vegas to a global series of events held in cities like Barcelona, London, and Riyadh. The conference brings together a diverse audience, from hackers and security professionals to executives and non-technical individuals, all united by a shared interest in information security.What sets Black Hat apart is its unique blend of cutting-edge research, hands-on training, and open dialogue between the many stakeholders in the cybersecurity ecosystem. It's a place where corporations, government agencies, and independent researchers converge to exchange ideas and push the boundaries of what's possible in securing our digital world. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, Black Hat remains a vital forum for addressing the challenges and opportunities that come with it.Sean and I engaged in thought-provoking conversations with 27 industry leaders during our coverage of Black Hat USA 2024 in Las Vegas, where the intersection of society and technology was at the forefront. These discussions underscored the urgent need to integrate cybersecurity deeply into our societal framework, not just within business operations. As our digital world grows more complex, the conversations revealed a collective understanding that the true challenge lies in transforming these strategic insights into actions that shape a safer and more resilient society, while also recognizing the changes in how society must adapt to the demands of advancing technology.As I walked through the bustling halls of Black Hat 2024, I was struck by the sheer dynamism of the cybersecurity landscape. The conversations, presentations, and cutting-edge technologies on display painted a vivid picture of where we stand today in our ongoing battle to secure the digital world. More than just a conference, Black Hat serves as a barometer for the state of cybersecurity—a reflection of our collective efforts to protect the systems that have become so integral to our daily lives. The Constant Evolution of ThreatsOne of the most striking observations from Black Hat 2024 is the relentless pace at which cyber threats are evolving. Every year, the threat landscape becomes more complex, with attackers finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities in areas that were once considered secure. This year, it became evident that even the most advanced security measures can be circumvented if organizations become complacent. The need for continuous vigilance, constant updating of security protocols, and a proactive approach to threat detection has never been more critical.The discussions at Black Hat reinforced the idea that we are in a perpetual arms race with cybercriminals. They adapt quickly, leveraging emerging technologies to refine their tactics and launch increasingly sophisticated attacks. As defenders, we must be equally agile, continuously learning and evolving our strategies to stay one step ahead. Integration and Collaboration: Breaking Down SilosAnother key theme at Black Hat 2024 was the importance of breaking down silos within organizations. In an increasingly interconnected world, isolated security measures are no longer sufficient. The traditional boundaries between different teams—whether they be development, operations, or security—are blurring. To effectively combat modern threats, there needs to be seamless integration and collaboration across all departments.This holistic approach to cybersecurity is not just about technology; it's about fostering a culture of communication and cooperation. By aligning the goals and efforts of various teams, organizations can create a unified front against cyber threats. This not only enhances security but also improves efficiency and resilience, allowing for quicker responses to incidents and a more robust defense posture. The Dual Role of AI in CybersecurityArtificial Intelligence (AI) was a major focus at this year's event, and for good reason. AI has the potential to revolutionize cybersecurity, offering new tools and capabilities for threat detection, response, and prevention. However, it also introduces new challenges and risks. As AI systems become more prevalent, they themselves become targets for exploitation. This dual role of AI—both as a tool and a target—was a hot topic of discussion.The consensus at Black Hat was clear: while AI can significantly enhance our ability to protect against threats, we must also be vigilant in securing AI systems themselves. This requires a deep understanding of how these systems operate and where they may be vulnerable. It's a reminder that every technological advancement comes with its own set of risks, and it's our responsibility to anticipate and mitigate those risks as best we can. Empowering Users and Enhancing Digital LiteracyA recurring theme throughout Black Hat 2024 was the need to empower users—not just those in IT or security roles, but everyone who interacts with digital systems. In today's world, cybersecurity is everyone's responsibility. However, many users still lack the knowledge or tools to protect themselves effectively.One of the key takeaways from the event is the importance of enhancing digital literacy. Users must be equipped with the skills and understanding necessary to navigate the digital landscape safely. This goes beyond just knowing how to avoid phishing scams or create strong passwords; it's about fostering a deeper awareness of the risks inherent in our digital lives and how to manage them.Education and awareness campaigns are crucial, but they must be supported by user-friendly security tools that make it easier for people to protect themselves. The goal is to create a security environment where the average user is both informed and empowered, reducing the likelihood of human error and strengthening the overall security posture. A Call for Continuous ImprovementIf there's one thing that Black Hat 2024 made abundantly clear, it's that cybersecurity is a journey, not a destination. The landscape is constantly shifting, and what works today may not be sufficient tomorrow. This requires a commitment to continuous improvement—both in terms of technology and strategy.Organizations must foster a culture of learning, where staying informed about the latest threats and security practices is a priority. This means not only investing in the latest tools and technologies but also in the people who use them. Training, upskilling, and encouraging a mindset of curiosity and adaptability are all essential components of a successful cybersecurity strategy. Looking Ahead: The Future of CybersecurityAs I reflect on the insights and discussions from Black Hat 2024, I'm reminded of the critical role cybersecurity plays in our society. It's not just about protecting data or systems; it's about safeguarding the trust that underpins our digital world. As we look to the future, it's clear that cybersecurity will continue to be a central concern—not just for businesses and governments, but for individuals and communities as well.The challenges we face are significant, but so are the opportunities. By embracing innovation, fostering collaboration, and empowering users, we can build a more secure digital future. It's a future where technology serves humanity, where security is an enabler rather than a barrier, and where we can navigate the complexities of the digital age with confidence.Black Hat 2024 was a powerful reminder of the importance of this work. It's a challenge that requires all of us—security professionals, technologists, and everyday users—to play our part. Together, we can meet the challenges of today and prepare for the threats of tomorrow, ensuring that our digital future is one we can all trust and thrive in.The End ...of this story. This piece of writing represents the peculiar results of an interactive collaboration between Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence._____________________________________Marco Ciappelli is the host of the Redefining Society Podcast, part of the ITSPmagazine Podcast Network—which he co-founded with his good friend Sean Martin—where you may just find some of these topics being discussed.

Brian chats with Amanda Wilson, the co-founder of #open, a dating app for ethically non-monogamous relationships. On the episode, Amanda opens up about the fear she faced pivoting from running political campaigns to launching a sex-positive tech business with her business and life partner. She also shares essential strategies and tactics for navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship and how she utilizes AI to fuel growth and innovation at #open. Episode Highlights Mission-driven businesses balance making money with benefiting society. Amanda defines a mission-driven business as one that doesn't just focus on finances as the number one goal. As part of making #open a mission-driven business, Amanda is setting up the company to become a​​ Certified B Corporation, which requires balancing making money with the responsibility to benefit society. “Our mission is to create safer spaces for marginalized and at-risk communities to form authentic connections,” Amanda said. “That's exceptionally important to us because we are a dating app for people that are in ethically non-monogamous relationships, which is still a hard road for people who are doing that.” Keep your customers safe. One of the goals of #open is to build a safe space for the sex-positive community. To do that, the company makes it a point to listen to its user base, including by talking to customers through the #open support team and by reading app store reviews. Amanda also says the company prioritizes safety through data privacy. “Your data is just an extension of you, so your data needs to be treated as respectfully as we would treat another person standing right here in front of us,” Amanda said. “#Open can always strive to be a safer place.” Use AI to improve your human touch. Amanda sees the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a way to improve the personal touch of businesses and marketing strategies. For instance, #open reviews every picture that goes inside its app, and AI can help flag images that may break the company's content policies. Also, Amanda uses an AI transcription tool to review her podcast interviews and find points she can improve upon for next time. “AI definitely helps us to be able to have that personal touch,” she said. “Building our community is one of the strategies and tactics we use.” Hire your potential customers. #Open emphasizes hiring people within the community they're serving, so that the people creating the tools can better understand the dynamics around the software's real-world use. “We try and hire as many women and other marginalized people as we can,” Amanda said. “My one request is if we can get more women in tech, life would be so much better for so many people.” Resources + Links B Corp Certification Otter.AI Amanda Wilson: LinkedIn #open: Website, Instagram, Facebook, X, Tumblr, YouTube Brian Thompson Financial: Website, Newsletter, Podcast Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP, is a tax attorney and certified financial planner who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

We usually talk about tech in terms of economics or policy, but the casual language tech leaders often use to describe AI — summoning an inanimate force with the powers of code — sounds more... magical. So, what can myth and magic teach us about the AI race? Josh Schrei, mythologist and host of The Emerald podcast,  says that foundational cultural tales like "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" or Prometheus teach us the importance of initiation, responsibility, human knowledge, and care.  He argues these stories and myths can guide ethical tech development by reminding us what it is to be human. Correction: Josh says the first telling of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" myth dates back to ancient Egypt, but it actually dates back to ancient Greece.RECOMMENDED MEDIA The Emerald podcastThe Emerald explores the human experience through a vibrant lens of myth, story, and imaginationEmbodied Ethics in The Age of AIA five-part course with The Emerald podcast's Josh Schrei and School of Wise Innovation's Andrew DunnNature Nurture: Children Can Become Stewards of Our Delicate PlanetA U.S. Department of the Interior study found that the average American kid can identify hundreds of corporate logos but not plants and animalsThe New FireAI is revolutionizing the world - here's how democracies can come out on top.

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Xiang Ji and Nathan Hessler join hosts Sundi Myint and Owen Bickford to compare actor model implementation in Elixir, Ruby, and Clojure. In Elixir, the actor model is core to how the BEAM VM works, with lightweight processes communicating asynchronously via message passing. GenServers provide a common abstraction for building actors, handling messages, and maintaining internal state. In Ruby, the actor model is represented through Ractors, which currently map to OS threads. They discuss what we can learn by comparing models, understanding tradeoffs between VMs, languages, and concurrency primitives, and how this knowledge can help us choose the best tools for a project. Topics discussed in this episode: Difference between actor model and shared memory concurrency Isolation of actor state and communication via message passing BEAM VM design for high concurrency via lightweight processes GenServers as common abstraction for building stateful actors GenServer callbacks for message handling and state updates Agents as similar process abstraction to GenServers Shared state utilities like ETS for inter-process communication Global Interpreter Lock in older Ruby VMs Ractors as initial actor implementation in Ruby mapping to threads Planned improvements to Ruby concurrency in 3.3 Akka implementation of actor model on JVM using thread scheduling Limitations of shared memory concurrency on JVM Project Loom bringing lightweight processes to JVM Building GenServer behavior in Ruby using metaprogramming CSP model of communication using channels in Clojure Differences between BEAM scheduler and thread-based VMs Comparing Elixir to academic languages like Haskell Remote and theScore are hiring!

Keep it a secret. Do not share it. Not mention it. Do not even think about it if you want. Have a chance to keep your soul and survive the eyes of the AI.The StoryIn the desolation the sky itself seemed to warp and twist, becoming a canvas for empty matrix patterns. Ethereal eyes floated high above, casting haunting glows over the town below.The watchers, always observing, always judging, and never breathing.The streets lined with twisted trees, their branches heavy with jack-o'-lanterns glowing of a light imbued with binary code. Their faces seemed to flicker and shift, revealing glimpses of the countless souls whose data had been harvested.Shadowy, emptied, citizen figures moved through the streets; parched digital egos, mere silhouettes of what was flesh and blood. Their faces, devoid of emotion, were a testament to a life under ceaseless surveillance.Amidst this world of shadows and whispers, freedom remained a dream, and when Eleanor noticed the glitches in the matrix, that dream, for many, became hope. The eyes in the sky, for all their omnipotence, had blind spots, biases, and the very human imperfect humanity that created them and the now they feasted on.But Eleanor disappeared. The only trace left of her was her shadow laying on the ground and a chilling note:"Your thoughts could be next... but do we even care?"- The EndThis short story was brought to you by what you could consider the mortal remain of a human cognition and his faithful AI companion.  Who is who, and what is what, is up to you to decide.Very quickly written and illustrated by Me and AI - mostly written by me cause AI ain't that good at #writing these things anyway. The illustration? Well that is another story, maybe for another time.The reading? Well, that is all the AI (and Halloween Version of it)  with my art direction,  because I am no actor and I do not pretend to be one.

Ryan sat down with John Amble of the Modern War Institute to unpack the challenges Israel is likely to face in Gaza; Israel's world-renowned urban warfare training facilities; comparisons with other battles in cities such as those that took place in the Iraqi cities of Fallujah and Mosul; and how the initial Hamas attack overwhelmed Israel's preparations to defend itself. John and Ryan close by reflecting on how three Islamist militant groups have shocked the world and armies that were, on paper, better prepared than they were: the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Islamic State in Iraq, and now Hamas in Israel and Gaza.

Artificial intelligence is clearly going to change our lives in multiple ways. But it's not yet obvious exactly how, and what the impacts will be. We can predict that certain jobs held by humans will probably be taken over by computers, but what about our thoughts? Will we still think and create in the same ways? Author and former Aspen Institute president Walter Isaacson has been writing biographies about big thinkers and innovators for decades, including Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Benjamin Franklin and Jennifer Doudna. Isaacson returned to the world of technology for his most recent book on Elon Musk. Journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin interviews Isaacson on stage at the Aspen Ideas Festival about whether a society fully integrated with AI can foster the same qualities shared by many influential people. Will A.I. augment the best that humans have to offer, or will it compete with or even degrade human intelligence? And are there some traits that technology just will never be able to replicate, like empathy and compassion?
