#64–Disrupt With Impact, with Roger Spitz

by

“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”–variously attributed

The above quote dates from the late 19th century. A 21st century version might well be, “everybody talks about disruption, but can anybody do anything about it?”

One person who has strong ideas on what to do about it is Roger Spitz. He is a former M&A investment banker and current venture capitalist and advisor to the World Economic Forum’s Global Foresight Network. He is also a fellow member of the Association of Professional Futurists. His new book Disrupt with Impact, Achieve Business Success in an Unpredictable World, provides a roadmap for doing such.

#59–Transitioning to AGI, implications and regulations, with Jerome Glenn

by

“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.”-Albert Einstein

Note: this is a repost of a previously (inadvertently) deleted post.

Regulating artificial intelligence is a bit like the weather. Everybody talks about it but nobody is doing anything about it. Well–there are efforts, there is trying. But as Yoda said, “there is no try, only do or do not.” The big problem, according to Jerome Glenn of the Millennium Project, is that those that are trying are metaphorically trying to keep up with a speeding racecar. He insists that they should be looking ahead to where it is going to be in three to five years, not trying to run alongside it right now. And where it is likely to be in three to five years is AGI–artificial general intelligence. AGI will be far more powerful than today’s narrow large language models. It will be able to research and learn new skills on its own, and even rewrite its code. In this episode, he explains The Millennium Project’s efforts to create urgency to regulate this coming, more powerful AGI.

#61–AI in Design: Keeping it Human, with Dennis Draeger

by

“I’d rather see artificial intelligence than no intelligence.”–Michael Crichton

If you’re asking if artificial intelligence will work for us or against us, you may be asking the wrong question. The key, according to Dennis Draeger of Shaping Tomorrow, is to design AI to collaborate with us. In this episode, we discuss this and other related issues involving working with A.I.

#57: Update on Fuel Cells and Hydrogen with William F. Smith

by

“So I submit to my colleagues here today that hydrogen is not as far away as we think it is.“–Bob Inglis

In February of 2017, Seeking Delphi™ featured Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen, Inc.™ founder and CEO Bill Smith, in an episode entitled What Ever Happend to Fuel Cells.

Not much was happening in early 2017. The market for hydrogen fuel cells, and hydrogen in any form for that matter, had been stagnant for for over a decade.

Five years later, boy has it turned. Hardly a day goes by without reading something in the news about hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cells. From mega green hydrogen grid storage projects, to long haul trucks–and even hydrogen power underwater and in space–the hits just keep on coming.

In this episode, Bill joins me again to discuss what has changed since he last spoke with us and–most importantly–where it’s is all headed.

Disclaimer: I joined Infinity as director of corporate communication in June of this year.

#56: Space Mining with Daniel Sax

by

“Mining asteroids will ultimately benefit humanity on and off the Earth in a multitude of ways.”- Peter Diamandis

Peter Diamandis might be right, but asteroid mining is probably not imminent–at least not in the way that lunar mining is.

With both the NASA and the Chinese National Space Agency having designs on establishing permanent lunar bases within the next 5 to 10 years, mining on the moon will be a necessity. It’s just too expensive to supply all the needed resources to maintain the outposts from earth.

Daniel Sax is the cofounder and CEO of the Canadian Space Mining Corporation. His route to that post is, in itself, a fascinating tale. In this episode of Seeking Delphi,™ he explains both his personal journey and that of the company.

#55: The Longevity Dialogs Part 3, The Science and Technology of Growing Young with Sergey Young

by

“We have created science and technology to extend our life, but we haven’t created life we want to extend.”–Sergey Young, Seeking Delphi™ episode #55, explaining why he believes more people do not support radical life extension.

http://www.andertoons.com

Few individuals have done more, from an advocacy standpoint, to promote breakthroughs in human longevity, than Sergey Young. Seeking Delphi™ returns with a fascinating interview with Sergey on the occasion of the release of his new book, The Science and Technology of Growing Young. The book provides a comprehensive overview of where longevity research is now, where it could be going in the future, and what you can do, in the meantime, to get the most health and vigor out of your own life. We also discuss the current state of the soon to be announced longevity XPrize.
