[Music] In 1895, William Hunken captured the first X-ray image in history. His wife's hand with a wedding ring and bones beneath. When she saw it, she whispered, "I've seen my death. " But maybe what she really saw was truth. A part of herself always there, but invisible until the right lens made it clear. Today, we've built another kind of lens, ones that doesn't just see through skin, but through systems, conversations, choices. We call it artificial intelligence, but really what we've built is a mirror. ...

And joining me now we have James Telerico, Democratic state representative from Texas who is challenging Republican Senator John Cornin for his US Senate seat. Representative Telerico, thank you so much for being here, sir. So let let's talk about the shooting which highlights the extent of the political polarization, the extreme voices on both sides that appear to be the loudest.At least that is what the algorithms would have us believe. What is your assessment of the level of distrust. Is it evident among ...

Web's Problems - Algorithms are causing web issues, including polarization, depression, anxiety, and doomscrolling [1] - These algorithms are also shattering our shared reality [1] - Tim Berners-Lee suggests these flaws are design issues needing regulation [1] Proposed Solution - The deeper issue is economic as well as design [1] - The internet needs a native, immutable, trustless money to re-align incentives [1] - Sound money shifts the VC model, making beating inflation no longer the goal [2] - Open protocols can upend the ad model [2] - Fixing the web can be achieved without regulation [2]

In August, as US credit traders go to the beach, algorithms are increasingly stepping in for them, allowing transaction volume to stay relatively high even during a traditionally slow period https://t.co/QoOhkJnMQA ...

[Music] We live in the age of choices. From running shoes to cars, from books to coffee, from online streaming services to office chairs, there are choices all around us. But the question though that I'd like us to sit with today is you think you're choosing but are you.That was quite the beginning. A mouthful. So let's take a step back and help you relax.I'd like you to close your eyes and imagine this with me. You are sitting on a comfy couch with a warm cup of coffee or tea in your hand and you in the ca ...

[Music] artificial intelligence. It's on everybody's mind. So when I was asked to give this talk about artificial intelligence, I was thrilled, but I was genuinely conflicted.On the one hand, do I lean into the doom and gloom of AI where AI disrupts everything causes the loss of millions of jobs and do my best to explain the environmental and ecological impact of this energy hungry technology. Or do I take on the techno optimist talking points where yeah, AI disrupts everything, but it also creates millions ...
